Although we are the largest class that has so far been graduated from this school, she became ' W acquainted with all of us and helped us. Her interest in us has been an inspiration to us to do our bestg it has influenced us in our school life and it will be of still greater value to us as an incentive to accomplishment when we get out into the world. hliss Ask was born in Yankton, South Dakota. Soon after graduating from the grade and high school of that city, she moved to Minnesota, where she entered the University of Minnesota. She graduated from the College of Science, Literature, and Arts. Before coming to Jolmson, she taught at the high school of Milaca, hlinnesota. At Johnson she has specialized in Latin. Miss Ask, besides being a teacher of these subjects, is an accomplished player of the violin, piano, and pipe organ. She has given many of our class entertain- ments distinction with a musical number. lVe have many happy memories of the happenings of our four years at Johnson, and always at these gatherings has been felt the guiding spirit of our adviser, help- ing us to do that which was right. She has joined us in our clubs, and entertain- ments. We hope that she may have pleasant memories of our class in later years.

The lfgyii streamer headline advanced the news that the president and other promi- nent politicians were to be in St. Paul during a political convention. The 'V ' United States President, formerly Pauline Schaubel, and the first man of the land, Clarence Knapp, are to be the guests of 'Ma' Lindstrom, better known as Eleanor Lindstrom. Helen Schaber, Secretary of State, and Roy Jernberg, Governor of Rhode Island, will also be guests of tl1e Governor of Minnesota during the conventionj, so the paper read. Having always had a number of close friends in the journalistic world, curiosity caused us to look for the editor's name. VVe gasped with amazement, for many of our former classmates were on the staff. Among them were editor-in-chief, Mar- garet McHattie, Florence Jauss, associate editor, Jewel VVilliams, managing editor, sport editor, Russell Kopp, advertising manager, Emmet Peterson, circulation manager, Alice Nelson, the school and children's page editor, Neva Swenson, Valeta Hammond, feature editor, society editor, Harriet Gahagan, Florence Franzmeier, head cartoonist, and Basil Schulte, death notices and marriage licenses' editor. On the same page we noticed a column much like the one which Dr. Brady used to edit. It was written by Dr. Killem, better known as Edwin Gustafson. Reading the weather report, we found that the weather was to be fair and also that we were to have a full moon, meteorologist, Herbert Potthoff. VVhy here on the school page is a picture of the new Land O' Lakes orchestra which will furnish the music for the sophomore dance at the Johnson High School! The personnel of the orchestra includes tl1c flutist and director, Maurice Selander, saxophone, Elmer Eberhardtg pianist, Marcia Bulin, drummer, Harold Spindler, and violinist, Annette Litchfuss. Time certainly has not changed them. They look exactly as they did when we were still in school. Chelgren is official photographer for seniors at J. H. S. That's interesting, isn't it, that Marvin Chelgren, our old classmate, should be the photographer for the seniors? Of course, that means that he will take the Maroon pictures. Donit you remember how exciting it was when we had our pictures taken? Oh, look at this! It states here that thirteen Minnesotans have joined the circus which was started, and is still directed by Wallace Pemer. Anna Hencghan is the assistant director, Walter Nelson is the head clown, while Roy Larson dodges the custard pies which VValter flings at him. Lillian YVhite is a bareback rider, and Allan Bredahl is a sheik, that is, he is a camel rider. Anne Conroy, the living skeleton, Edith Larson, the fat woman, and YVilliam Livingston, the wild man, help to make things lively when they get into some of their spirited debates. Rowland Thompson is a sword swallower, Reynold Axness, a dare devil, and Fern Harden- brook is a tight rope walker. Henning Carlson is the chief animal trainer. Travel- ing with the circus are Genevieve Curry and Leona Wennerlund. Miss Curry sells pink lemonade and peanuts, while Miss VVennerlund sells colored balloons and pop gunsf, VVishing to see a good play, we searched the amusement page for one. Here is a play which seems to be very good. The name of it is EIIUS Szcedislz Rose. The paper reports that it is very much like .-1lJie'.s' Irish Rose and that a new company is playing it. Edward Tomaszewski is to take the part of Ed, Bernice Mazurkiewiez is Hilda, the Swedish Rose, Frank Leistiko is the Rabbi, Edward Baltozer, the priest, VVallace Deyo is Ed's father, while George Scullin is Hilda's father, Elsie Swanson, the maid, Pearl Gibbons is Mrs. Cohen, and Paul Mueller is Isaac, or Mr. Cohen. The twins are Alice Houska and VValter Baumeister. Bernice Ohde is now tickling the ivorics at the Jazzy Lunch Room, while Lillian Olson dances there. I didnit know that, did you?,' Page Tlzirty-flzrcc Johnson High School The INTZITOOI1 Class Prophecy VVell, how interesting to discover that some of our class members are on the police force. The article states that Harold Joscphson, the chief of police, has appointed some new members to the police force. The appointments are Pearl Anderson, police matron, Allen Brande, captain of the gun squad, and Olger Hal- verson, the head ambulance driver. 'KHow amusing! Edith Larson and Amy Dahlin, life savers in Alaska are coming back to St. Paul on a short vacation before the rush of the summer season commences. That reminds me of the time we saw Chester Schmegal in Venice, and he said that he was running a gondola for a living. He also said that Viola Halverson had been his chief customer ever since he saved her from drowning in a canal in that city. Florence VVittick, who is now a combination piano teacher and missionary in the South Sea Islands, is prophesying the end of the world. All that I can say is that 1 hope she is wrong. A number of articles under the general head of Near East News next claimed our attention. My, isnlt this interesting? The paper says that to evade the theory on women's rights, three American men, Herbert Rygg, Lawrence Overmann, and Marshall Genshow, all of St. Paul, Minnesota, fled to Turkey. Mr. Rygg who claims he is a 'Jack of All Trades' is now selling a patent hair and furniture polish which was concocted by his former classmate, Armer Stolpestad. Mr. Overmann has already grown a heavy beard and has also donned the native Turkish costume, for as he says, he has a chance to take part in many lively arguments since he is the head of a harem. Mr, hlarshall Genshow, the third of tl1e party, is lNIr. Overmann's head gardener. He has under his supervision several Americans who wish to learn some- thing about native Turkish plants. Among the would-be-horticulturists are some former St. Paulites. They are Laurine Nielsen, Irene Johnson and Elmer Hartung. 'AVVhile the supposed women haters were visiting in Bagdad not long ago, they saw a large crowd about a soap-box orator. They stopped to listen to the eloquent petitioner. It proved to be none other than their former classmate, Raymond Norman, who was helping to stage a campaign for VVomen's Rights. Mingling with the crowd about the silver-tongued orator, was another group 'o' ' ' . 'AtlTlY'gT0UP were Borghildeitlellebygflflelerr Helmes Herbert, Gulden, and WVallace Lang. Miss Melleby and Miss Holmes are employed by the YVilliam Engelking Film Corporation. Miss I.eroux is Mr. Engelking's private secretary, while Mr. Gulden is writing sub-titles for The Tame Turkey, the scenes of which are now being taken in this city. Alice Erickson and lNIildred Hansen are the heroines, while Gordon VVall and YValter YViberg have the masculine leads of this new comedy which was written by Miss Cora Joslin, whose studio is in New York. According to Mr. Lang, he is a professional tramp, for he is leisurely touring the world on the top of freight trains, in the holds of ships, and in parachutes of transcontinental aeroplanes. He is accompanied in his travels by Henry Potthoff, a fellow bum, who is at present recovering in a hospital from injuries received while attempting to land safely from a balloon. :'Look! The paper reports that many great educators are to meet at a con- vention at Paris. Charles Ehrke, I.. I.. D., President of Harvard University, is to be master of affairs. Professor Philip Day, head of the English Department at Oxford University, England, and Leola Vreeland, head of Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, New York, are to give special lecture courses. Others who will give lectures are Grace Presley and Alice Anderson of the department of domestic Page Tllirly-four Johnson High School The Maroon Class Prophecy science, Boston University. Dagny Holmstrand and Marion Carlson of the Uni- versity of VVashington will deliver discourses on the Science of Matlzevnaticsg Myrtle Philbrick of the University of Minnesota, and Lillian Decker and Lenore Carlson of Leland Stanford University, California, will talk on American Literature and Art as a Profession. American professors of Romance languages giving courses at the convention are Arthur Froehle, Ph. D., professor of Latin, Jessie McDonald and Mildred Anderson, teachers of Spanishg Louise Raasch and Leslie Anderson, authorities on French, Florence Heller, Cletus Froehle, and Emery Johnson, tutors in Greek. These lectures are all at the world-famous Edward Hartman School of languages at Havana, Cuba. Mr. Hartman, a wealthy bachelor, gave to the city of Havana a large sum of money to be used for educational purposes. A school of languages was built, and since Mr. Hartman was a linguist of renown, it was named after him. Some very valuable stone tablets which bear strange figures and hieroglyphics, were found by two members of a party of geologists, Reinold Woodford, and Edwin Griffin, as they were excavating along the banks of the Indus river. Many rare gems and much antique jewelry was unearthed in the ruins of an Indian Temple by Miss Mildred Ramstrom, also an archaeologist. Raymond Mulrooney, head of the expedition, found in the same ruins some ancient brass carpet tacks, earrings, and ankle rings. Did you read this interesting story on page six which tells of some of our old classmates among whom is Frederick Schmalz? No? VVell, it relates that Gerda Haslund, Dorothy Eckman, Mary Ling, and Eleanor Baird are trying to grow a combination of rice and cucumber plant. Frederick Schmalz, a scientist of renown, who is heading this expedition in China, has just lately discovered the method of extracting sunlight from a lemon. This new ray is supposed to be a sure cure for rheumatism. Margaret Oberg, the most famous woman biologist of America, 'has consented to risk her life, so that Professor Schmalz may learn if his ray is at all effective. Ohl Look! I didn't know this. Bertha Martenson and Sidney Eggert are missionaries in Delhi, India! The paper reports that they have been in India for nine years, and that Bertha and Sidney entertained at their home in Delhi many of their former friends who are attending the Olympic games. Dordthy Bodley, Lorenz Lindstrom, Evelyn Freeman, Cerie Dahlberg, and Professor Lenert Nord- lund were there. Rudell Gundlach, an inventor, was also present as he came to see his new racing cars used oflicially for the first time. In the same party was VValter Miller, who invented the radiogramaphone which is to transmit pictures and returns of the meet to all parts of the world. On being interviewed, Mr. Miller said that the specially prepared Hlms which are being used in his machine, were the work of Myrtle Schnaith and Edith Bjorlin, the well-known women chemists. Misses Schnaith and Bjorlin have their own chemical laboratory at Nashville, Tennessee. Isn't it strange how many of our old acquaintances who were good athletes, are now given recognition by all the world? Among the American girl 'racing demons' at the Olympic games are many from St. Paul. Those participating in this exciting contest are Hildur Thorson, Alice Peterson, Catherine Burcalow, Lillie Osen, Margaret Rowan, Arline Behm, and Anna Olson. The women entered for the five mile track event at the Olympic meet are Margaret Lofgren, Agnes Reedholm, Adine Jackson, and Ruth Peterson. Olive Yeager, woman tennis champion of American, is to clash with the cham- pion of Sweden for the international title. At the same time, Lucile Fogelberg will meet with the lady golf champion of England for the world's golf championship. Page 7'l11'r'ty-Hrs The lhIZl1'OOI'l Johnson High School Valedictorian ORDON VVALL has the distinction of leading the class of 1926 in schol- arship. He is a graduate of the Cleveland school. Gordon is taking the College Preparatory Course and will graduate from Johnson at the age of seventeen. Gordon has been very active in school life especially in journalism. He is the editor-in-chief of the Maroon. His average is three points higher than the highest grade made last year. Salutatorian Frederick Schmalz is the Salutatorian, his average being only a fraction lower than Gordon's. He graduated from the Van Buren school. He is also taking the College Preparatory Course and will graduate at the age of sixteen. Frederick is much like Gordon in regard to activities. He also inclines to journalistic work and is editor-in-chief of the Gleam. Mildred Anderson and Mary Ling achieved third and fourth places respec- tively. Mildred is taking the College Preparatory Course and is eighteen years old. Both Mary and Mildred graduated from the Ericsson School. Mary is taking the General Course and is eighteen years of age. There was little difference between their averages. Both have been diligent and earnest in their school work.

Mr. Recs has built up four champ- ionship teams in the last five years. His teams l1ave been in the state tournament three times, and they have always made a good showing. This year our team made an enviable record with thirteen victories and only one defeat. The city title race contained some very thrilling contests. The out- standing of these were the two games with Mechanic Arts High School and the last battle with Humboldt High in which Johnson came out ahead with its brilliant basket shooting combined with the fighting spirit which has been the most notable characteristic of our team in its drives for the city championship, Walter Wahman, Room 25, center and captain of Johnson's team, is a junior. He is taking the college preparatory course. Wahman is a very fair player for very seldom is a foul called on him. There were but two this season, one during the Humboldt game and the second in the Central game. He made the Daily News second all-city team this year. Hyman SpudsU Abelovitz, our star forward, is a senior. He came to Johnson in September, 1925, from Mechanic Arts High School. Murphy is taking the general course and expects to go into business after graduating. Abelovitz is a member of the Daily News first all-city basketball team this year. Sylvan Tatkin went to the Crowley grade school, Mechanic Arts High School, and in the fall of 19244 entered Johnson. Tatkin always plays a fast, hard game. No one on the opposing team ever tries harder than he does. He is also a member of the Daily News first all-city team. ,..QI1l.Le.closfLff ' Of end Blindley and Harvey Greene Y!?ii,a,fCQLL!C, Of all the games. Kenneth is eighteen years old. He is treasurer of the junior class, and is a member of the Pickett and HiaY Clubs. He is a member of Room 3 and is taking the general course. Harvey Green, Room 18, started Johnson High School in 1923. Harvey played baseball and basketball before he started high school. He already has eight letters, three in basketball, three in baseball, and two in football. David Red Hamrin, Room 37, is a sophomore. He is our excellent center and forward substitute and is a graduate of the Sibley School. Red had played hockey, baseball, basketball, and football before he came to Johnson. According to the Daily News sport writer Johnson is very fortunate in having three such excellent players on the team as Wahman, Abelovitz, and Tatkin. Gen- erally a team is blest with only one good tosser. This fact makes a team easier to beat, but when the opposing team has three such stars to watch it is really quite difficult for them. Page 7'l1ir'fy-ciglzt The llflaroon J Ol'lI1S011 High School The Liberty Honor HIS year the Liberty Honor which ranks higher than any other award which can be bestowed upon a student by the school, with the exception of the honors of valedictory and salutatory, was given to Margaret Lofgren ' and Frederick Sc-hmalz. Following is the resolution which established it as a permanent honor: The Johnson High School hereby establishes, October, 1918, a new honor to be known as the Liberty Honor. Rach year, not later than June 1, there shall be elected from the Senior Class, one boy and one girl who shall have shown con- spicuous usefulness in the general life of the high school. This honor is to be judged, therefore, on a basis of the character and influence these students have contributed as citizens of the school community. The electing body of this honor shall be composed of flj the faculty of tl1e school, a committee of five students from each of the lower classes, the Juniors, the Sophomores, and the Freshmen. The electing body shall conduct a secret ballot, informal until the number of candidates shall be reduced to four when formal ballot shall be taken. The interest from the liberty bond presented by the class of 1918 shall be used each year hereafter, for the purchase of a simple pin symbolic of this honor Cto be designed by the handicraft classesj. The successive Liberty Honor students shall constitute a committee for the expenditure of this bond at its maturity ten years hence or for the expenditure of other funds which may be left by other classes. The roll of this committee shall be a part of the records of the school. The former I,ibertyHonor students were: 1918 --Dulcie Kees, Axel Langseth 1919w-Mildred Deebach, Donald Kelly 1920-Grace Elstone, Gordon Strate 1921-Leona O'Day, Vernon Youngquist 1922 1923 1924 1925 +Mildred lvesterlund, Alvin Hilgedick -Dorothy Biebighauscr, Eugene Surber fHelen Sundberg, 1Valter Stone fMildred Bielenberg, Daniel Brabeck .-IIJVISERS Bliss Moreland - - A Editorial Staff Miss Goodell - Art Staff Mr. Ralston - Buximfss Staff Page T,Zl.7'lj'-llfl1C Johnson Higli School The lllaroon Athletic Honors OHNSON HIGH SCHOOL has made an excellent showing in athletics this year. Our athletes have done well. They have always remembered our motto, Johnson fights. ' Our highest achievement this year was the winning of the city basket- ball championship. Brindley, Tatkin, Hamrin, Abelovitz, Greene, Captain Wahman, Shelgren, and Shiffer received J's in basketball. Johnson has won the golf championship for tl1e last two years. Miss Bell, the former adviser, has left school, and Miss Wilkerson has taken her place. 'Last year Central challenged Johnson, and we defeated them in two matches. Since Humboldt had no team, our defeat of Mechanics in two matches assured us the championship. Pousette, Bredahl, Aekerson, and Johnson made up tl1e team. Johnson finished second in hockey this year. The notable game of the season was the second conflict with Mechanics. Although the game went into two hard- fought over-time periods, Johnson could not hold the pace, and lost. Captain Schorr, Rolig, and Kopp received all-city mention. The other J men were: Gulden, Hobbins, Kopp, Kromer, and Leider. Eberhardt and Johnson were tl1e student managers. Johnson's triumph was especially pleasing because of the adverse conditions under which our team played. Our swimming team proved to be one of the best all-around teams in the city. Captain Hansen is truly a veteran diver. He has competed in many municipal and Twin City meets and has won numerous medals. Hoinebrink is another stellar performer. He competes in 100 yard free style, and 75 yard breast stroke, and the relay. VVallace Lang is another mainstay of the team. In the championship meet with Blechanics he captured the 100 yard free style. He also shines in the back stroke and relay. Kelly, Lundgrcn, Griffin, and Hedberg were also on the team. Frederick Schmalz was their student manager. Johnson has always ranked high in summer sports. Last year we placed second in the baseball race. Hobbins, Greene, Engelking, Tatkin, Kelly, VVardrum, Sandifer, Blad, Olson, Freeman, Chelgren and Hamrin were largely responsible ,ffllf l,Ug- Wifi, or T M es O O some .S is .SO As football is the first game played in the school year it creates much inter- est. Emmet Peterson, student manager for both football and basket-ball, has been arranging games and selling tickets. Shelgren was captain of our team and other members were Greene, Luck, Hobbins, Baltozer, l.aFaver, Steidel, Sundgaard, YVahman, Engelking, Kelly, Chelgren, Swedeen, Holmstrom, and Shilfer. The regulations of the Girls, Athletics do not permit interscholastic meets of any kind, so competition must be among the girls themselves. The most important event of the year for them is the tennis tournament. Olive Yeager won the chame pionship last year. She was presented with an emblem for her sweater. There is no better recreation for students than the clean games that are played among the schools. It is straight, fair, clean playing that has brought Johnson so many honors. The players arenit the only ones who need to remember the rules that win the gameg the student body has to keep them in mind too. The students can show their school spirit by their actions at the games, they can also show whether they live up to the motto: Johnson fights. flzge Foriy The Maroon Johnson High School The Liberal Art Honor L,,f?Q1:f HE Liberal Arts Honor which is given by the 1925 Maroon Staff is a new honor at Johnson High School. It is similar to the Liberty Honor. This honor is given to the student who excels in dramatics, to the student who ' ' excels in art, and to the student who excels in music. Each winner re- ceives an emblem. The honor was established by the 1925 Maroon Staff, and the expenses are paid out of the profit made on the 1925 annual. Clinton Johnson won the honor given for music. He had leading parts in both Trial by Jury and the Mikado. He had a solo part in the Christmas Assembly, and has sung at other entertainments and in many assemblies. Eleanor Lindstrom won the dramatic honors. Eleanor has been in many assemblies. She took the part of the angel in the Christmas assembly and was also in the George Washington Assembly. Ben VVittick, the winner of the art honor, is one of the best artists ever produced in Johnson High School. He excels in sketching and has drawn many covers and cartoons for the Gleam. He is the chairman of the Maroon art staff this year and has contributed much work. Miss Morton, Miss Moreland, Miss Nelson, and Miss Goodell were the judges. The judges reported a difficult time in picking the winners. There was much competition and the qualifications possessed by the contestants were so close that it was exceedingly difficult to pick the winners. It is hoped that these honors will become an incentive to accomplishment for school artists. Publication Honors N THE annals of Johnson High School there are many coveted honors. Recent additions to our honors have been the honors won by our publica- tions. l l After its appearance in tl1e school last May, our annual, the Nlaroon, was sent by its editor to the University of lVisconsin to be classed among the year books of other high schools of the same size in the United States by the Central Interscholastic Press Association. On September 21st, a certificate bearing a gold seal was received from the Association stating that the Ztlaroon was rated as a first class year book in the fifth national contest of tl1e Central Interscholastic Press Association. At the sixth annual convention of the Minnesota High School Press Associa- tion held at the University High School, Minneapolis, during last October, we also received state recognition on the excellence of our publications. The state press meeting was held for tl1e purpose of helping and encouraging the high school publications. The Marornn, which was entered in Class B for annuals of high schools having an enrollment between three hundred and one thousand won the third place, being defeated by two schools whose books bore the marks of professional designing. The Gleam and the Courier were both entered in Class B in regard to the enrollment, and in class D for magazines and papers printed in school print shops. The Glcam received the red badge for second place among the magazines, and the Courier won the second place in the newspaper judging. 151-gr Forty-one Johnson High School The Maroon Setting from the Jlikado which won recognition from the Theater Magazine. r ll he Stage Force Honors Q manager I eonard VY allgren, business mana cr Clarence Hatwik, Urs 1lle 55 My er and Milton Nelson, electricians, Marxm Strate, Robert VVyhe, Arthur 3' 'H Kemper, property meng VValter Sandstrom, carpenter, W'arren Dornfield, fly man, and Lehman Taylor and Theodore Boreen, stage-artists. These boys, under the direction of Miss Moreland, design and make all the scenery used for our plays, operettas, and various assemblies. VVithin the last year, two great honors have been conferred on our boys. The Mountain Scene for The Milcado was designed by Marvin Strate. This scene appeared in The Theatre Magazine for December, 1925. Lighting and sim- plicity of detail added to the charm of this scene, was the statement printed in the magazine, commenting on the stage setting. Last fall the St. Paul College Club gave a play, The Fox PVOman, and called upon our stage force to assist them. Two of the boys were the only stage- hands: Orville Meyer was the electrician, and Gilbert Zinschlag, tl1e curtain man.

Shakespearian Program by J. H. S. Chorus A chorus of fifty girls from Johnson High School had the honor of singing before a representative body of all the teachers of Minnesota. The Minnesota Educational Association Convention met in St. Paul, November 5, 6, and 7. The program was given at the general assembly of tl1e teachers on Saturday morning at 9:00 A. M. in the Auditorium. Miss Lillian Nelson, director of music at Johnson, chose the chorus which consisted of thirty girls from the Glee Club, and twenty from the chorus classes. The program given was a Shakespcarian program and the numbers were as follows: 1. Who is Sylvia? from Gentlemen from Verona. Music by Franz Schubert. 2. Harlc.' Ilarkf The Lark, from Cymbellne. Franz Schubert. 3. Blow, Blow thou W'inter W'ina', from As You Like It. Music by Dr. Arne. 4. It Was a Lover and His Lass, also from As You Like It. Music by Thos. hlorley.

GUISE - - - Principal GERTRL'DE Sivufru Secretary CORINNE Asx --------- gjissisfllflt VVTZEB3 HE purpose of the Business Department of Johnson High School is three- fold: first, it enables the student to become an intelligent citizeng second, it gives the student sufhcient knowledge in bookkeeping and accounting to , enable him to hold a position in a business officeg and third, it gives the student a thorough course in stenography. The course is laid out along such broad lines that by taking it one's mind becomes broadened and cultured. At the same time one gets the technical training necessary to enter a business office upon the completion of this course. Three years' work of two periods per day, five days a week in bookkeeping and accounting are offered and upon completion of this course one has an excellent foundation for a business career. Mr. Diehl has charge of this work and under his direction hundreds of students have gone out and taken their places in the business world. 'Mrsi Mnliins and Miss Holn'1bergvlrave-charge-of'tt1e'stermgraphic courseffhis? is a two year course and the many Johnson High School students who are now hold- ing stenographic positions in St. Paul are ample evidence that this course is very strong and well planned. Miss Crist and Miss Holmberg, typewriting teachers, are experts in turning out good typists. Under their direction the forty-two typewriters are always busy. A visit to this department will soon convince anyone that speedy and accurate typists are developed rapidly. L Miss Mellem has charge of the commercial law and economics classes. Here the students learn of the laws concerning business, and the law of supply and demand that controls trade and barter. Upon completion of these courses one feels that his mind and viewpoint have become enlarged, and that his understanding of business conditions has increased. The whole Business Course is so well balanced and so effective that the busi- ness men of the city are recognizing it more and more. Hardly a week goes by but at least one St. Paul business firm calls the school for the name of a Johnson High School Commercial graduate. All of this speaks well for Johnson High School's business department.

The art department has the responsibility of making all designs for the Gleam. The art staff of the Maroon is selected from the seniors study- ing art. Miss Goodell has the position of art adviser for both magazines mentioned. She also teaches basketry, pottery, and clay modeling. Miss Loverin, related art teacher, sometimes assists the stage artist and helps with costumes for entertainments. Next comes the music department with Miss Nelson at its head. There are several features of this department, namely the orchestra, the boys' and girls' glee clubs, and the chorus of mixed voices. The glee clubs give an operetta nearly every year. Sometimes they are aided by the chorus. The members of the girls' glee club are chosen from the chorus class by Miss Nelson. The girls, much to their despair, have to sing solos for her, the boys sign up for the course as they would for any other subject. Miss Morton, teacher of expression, has been with us many years. She has the vital responsibility of directing a large part of the dramatic work in school. First in the year comes thc Junior assembly for which she chooses a short play usually having something to do with the Pilgrims. Then comes the Christmas play given by the seniors. Her biggest problem of the year is the Senior-Junior play. VVith the aid of a committee composed of a certain number of juniors and seniors, she picks the characters for this play and directs it. The expression classes are also very interesting. Miss Morton has very dili- gently prepared outlines which contain all the essentials of expression and stage direction. The first termis work is a study of the elementary principlesg the second term's, a course in public speaking, the third and fourth terms', a study of the dramatic views of expression. All staging is done under the direction of Miss Moreland, that is the preparation of artistic lighting effects and stage settings for the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and senior-junior plays, the Armistice and Memorial Day assemblies, lyceum entertain- ments, style shows, and operettas. A number of assembly programs are also planned and given under her supervision. As a means of promoting a full life for the individual, as well as a professional career, either in music, dramatics or in commercial art, it is well worth the time of everyone to join classes in this field.

Reports from this field of work are sometimes very startling fqiw E' and cause much discussion L A., ,S . Chemistry, it has been said, is a study of chemical changes. That is all very well in itself, but this definition covers such a field, that it really is un- fathomable. Chemistry is a study of the elements, some of which are used in every- day life, and others which are not of so great importance. Since the World War, chemistry has become interesting to a larger group of people than before that event. Chemistry's establishment as one of the great permanent professions of the country, backed up by scientifically equipped laboratories and plants for pro- duction on a large scale, has created a wide demand for skilled chemists and trained chemical engineers, as well as a host of intelligent workers in the plants. Mr. Kinney is our chemistry instructor. Another subject in thenscience curriculumois physicsqvith Mr. Harrell as li- structor. Physics includes a study of the applications of the law of mechanics, heat, light, sound, and electricity in the shop, the home, and the street. One canit even move without using some law of physics. This science in reality forms a basis for the other higher sciences. Very few girls take this subject, but Mr. Harrell says that it is a subject that everyone should study sometime or other. Mr. Powers and Miss Perry are our teachers of biology. Biology is the study of plant and animal life and is therefore an important subject. One learns about one's surroundings in nature, that is, about plants, birds, insects, etc. It is also a study of the human body. Those who have studied biology think that everyone should take it. Biology requires much work, but it is considered a worth while and useful subject. Elementary science is taught for those taking tl1e commercial course. It con- sists of two parts, home science and community science. The former includes good health, heat, and light in the home, helpful home equipment, and recreationsg the latter includes the advantages offered by the community, weather and climate condi- tions, the care of citizens, transportation, and communication. This science gives a general knowledge to a person entering the business world.

Y lVhen a freshman is introduced into tl1e mysteries of high school, he is taught that his English is his most important subject. l or his first three terms, he must deal with the correct use of commas, semicolons, quotation marks, adverbs, ad- jectives, and other forms of punctuation and correct English. The student also learns to write all forms of letters and themes and to give book reports. In the fourth term of English, a thorough study of the drama is taken up. The sophomore studies the origin of plays, the methods of playwriting, stage set- ting, and many other things concerning play production. ln fifth English a study of American literature is taken up. The life and some of the works of all the great American writers are thoroughly studied. During the English six course a review of minimum requirements is made, and Parliamentary law is studied. The .lunior essay is also written. This essay must be one thousand words long, and must be written on some subject in which the author is especially interested. The course of English during the senior year deals almost entirely with English literature. The student becomes well acquainted with English poets and authors, and also studies all great English literature. 1 fr,:f' Fifty The Maroon Johnson High School Back row-Strom, llorsman, Nelson.

The Freshman-Sophomore Class AST February the second term freshmen and first term sophomores or- ganized as the Freshman-Sophomore class with Mr. Powers as adviser. igf!3Q?Q Next year, only those who have attained the number of credits required b' of a junior will be allowed to stay in the class, while the rest will go in with those who come from tl1e Cleveland Junior High School. Ofhcers were elected, and a constitution was drawn up. This constitution-in the opinion of the class-is the best one in Johnson High School. It has many good points which could be used to advantage by the juniors and seniors. Not much other work was done, as the children were too busy getting acquainted with the school and with each other, to bother about trifles which could be taken care of another year. VVhen September came the first business was the election of ofhcers for the year 1925-1926. Those elected were: Marshall Ruley, president, Eleanor Hansen, vice-president, Norma Mickelsen, secretary, and Christine Hanson, treasurer. Of course, some one has to keep order, so David Strom was elected as sergeant-at-arms. His other duties are to have the room well ventilated, and to see that the boards are erased when the meeting has adjourned. Arthur Nelson and Pearl Horsman comprise what is known as the Finance Committeegi' however, Mr. Guise and Mr. Powers are members, ex-officio. The duties of this committee are to devise ways and means for raising whatever funds are needed, to levy such dues as are deemed necessary, and to pass on any other means of raising funds. The second business matter accomplished was the raising of money for the use of the class. Dues were fixed at fifty cents a term, but the class wanted more money. Accordingly, on December 111 they sponsored a matinee dance in the gymnasium. It was successful, and according to the freshmen and sophomores. a good way to earn more money with less work. In a social way, very little has been done. Last spring the class held a picnic at lVildwood Park, most of the class was there and reported a fine time. They hope to have many more such delightful times before they graduate. Next year, when the pupils will be juniors, they will do many wonderful things to make thc other classes sit up and take notice. Already they feel able to boast that their class has a better organization than either of the other classes.

Johnson has taken another step forward, for surely the gym has an unlimited range of uses. Besides the obvious facilities for athletics, it offers a place in which many social gatherings may be held. Years ago, in England, in Ireland, in all continental Europe in fact, community social gatherings were very common. The whole town or country side turned out to Witness and to participate in the May-day frolics. Fairs, even travelling theaters, were common. Church holidays were gala days of community fun and co-operation. Of late, in the American cities at least, there has been a marked decrease in community spirit. Community gatherings are few, and there is a serious lack of co- operation. Each family goes out in its car, associates with its friends, and has a good time by itself. The neighbors, the neighborhood are below interest. This lack of sociability is much regretted because community improvements can be won only through the co-operation of the neighborhood. A homecoming for Johnson is planned for May 141. The program will be held in the gym. Through such gatherings this lost community spirit of the east side may be renewed.

V W ' lhe Junior Class Z7 fl but this year our lumor class began to work cirlv and completed three y .. things of paramount importance. All of these were done under the direc SUALLY nothing much is done by any class during the first term of school, Bi. - . - . . . . ' - .-fih tion of the class adviser, Miss Schroeder. The first thing accomplished was the election of officers for this year. The members who were elected are as follows: Alfred QPatj Hobbins, president, Arnold Sungaard, vice-president, Josephine Glenn, secretary, and Carl Baumeister, treas- urer. WVe heartily agree with the class that they have made a wise selection. The second task accomplished was that of choosing tl1e class ring. There are so many rings to select from that it was a difficult matter to decide which was the best and prettiest. After the ring was selected there were many weeks of anxious waiting and watching for the arrival of the rings. Now they are proudly displayed on the fingers of happy juniors. For many years it has been the custom for the Junior class to have charge of the Thanksgiving assembly program. On November 25, 1925, this yearls Junior class gave a football comedy, The Revolving Wedge. Those taking part were the following: Kenneth Brindley as Bob Martin, a football starg W'inifred Hauser, his sister, Laura Nelson, his mother, and Kenneth Kinstler, his father. Dorothy Zachrison was the maid and Robert lVylie took the part of Captain Michael Dolan of the police force. Bob's uncle was Arnold Stromberg and his cousin was Lloyd Leider. It was an amusing play and everyone enjoyed it. Miss Morton directed the program. The president, Pat Hobbins, who was to give the introduction to the program, developed diphtheria and, of course, was unable to be in school. His part was taken by Arnold Sungaard, the vice-president. The Boys' and Girls' Glee Club sang, and the orchestra played a pleasing selection under the direction of Miss Nelson. The class says that this is only a sample of what they can do, and next term they plan to do many more things among which will be the giving of the annual Junior-Senior ball. They are now planning for it. VVe know it will be wonderful since our Junior class has charge of it, and we wish them much success. Page Fiff,x--fmr1- Re-gvcn-9 S C H O O L N E W S The Maroon Johnson High School Parent-Teachers Association NE of the most influential and important organizations which aids the stu- ' dents and adds to the welfare of the immediate community is the Parent- Teachers' Association. C A The first meeting was held on November 5, 1924-, and at this time the association was organized, and the ofHcers for the Hrst year of service were chosen. Mrs. W. A. Asseln was elected president, and because of her proficiency, she has held this position ever since. The ofHcers for tl1e present year are: president, Mrs. W. A. Asselng vice- president, Mr. YV. A. VVhiteg secretary, Mrs. Frank Jenseng and treasurer, Mr. J. O. c 1 J Nlelin. Besides tl1e regular ofiicers there are many otller department chairmen. The council delegate for the year of 1925 and 1926 is Mrs. Harvey Mitler. The chairman for publicity is hlr. G. Hed- berg, the head of the activities departs ment is Miss Edna Moore. Mrs. G. Martenson heads the ways and means committee, while Mr. H. Glenn has charge of tl1e programs. Mr. YV. VVhite is the telephone chairman, and Mrs. A. D. Heidecker has to look out for the attendance, while Mrs. B. D. Slafe is in charge of the membership committee. The head of tl1e hospitality group is Mrs. C. H. Fogelberg, and until quite recently Miss Frances Blake was the chairman for the teachers' committee. There are yet several other groups of officers which are of the utmost impor- tance. Groups of officers are elected to represent each of three classes. The duty of these representatives is to look out for the needs of the class which they represent, and to present these matters to the association for consideration. This Mrs. A559111 year the senior class chairman is Mrs. H. A. Hartungg vice-chairman, Mrs. A. Linde- roth, and secretary, Mrs. Colin McDonald. Those representing the Junior class are: Mrs. W. Flint, chairman, Mrs. A. B. Rowe, vice-chairman, and Mrs. C. Chelgren, secretary. Acting in behalf of the Sophomore class are Mrs. P. Hoefer, chairman, vice- chairman, Mrs. Alto Johnson, and secretary, Mrs. W. C. Bangus. It is the aim of the Parent-Teacher's Association to better the school's condi- tion and also, in an indirect manner, unfavorable conditions in the community. At the monthly meetings, the parents and teachers are presented with important matters and are often able to solve these questions. The first accomplishment of the Parent-Teacher's Association was the obtain- ing of a school nurse for Johnson High and Cleveland Junior High School. With the advent of the nurse came less absences, better health, and more comforts for the students. In March, 1925, the Board, which is comprised of tl1e Association officers and the various committee chairmen, gave a large banquet for the teachers of the school, and they are planning to give another banquet some time this year. Page Fifty-fin' Johnson High School The hlaroon The New Addition, Gymnasium, and Cafeteria Egffrgngf MODERN and model school! At last, this can be said of Johnson High Q52-7 School, our Alma Mater. Yvhy? VVc have now the essentials of a com- ilimjlif' plete school building, the new addition, which gives us plenty of room, mlm' T has been built, a new gym has been erected for our physical welfare and for the accommodation of large gatherings, and the cafeteria has been remodeled so that food may be cooked and served to greater advantage. The crowded condition which formerly existed has been almost done away with through the building of the addition. VVhere we once had to have classes in the corridors, we now have new, airy, light classrooms to take their place. The addition, which is situated on the southeast side of the building, is seventy feet wide and one hundred and fifteen feet long. On the ground floor there are two classrooms, one of which is the type-writing room. There is also on this Hoor a cheery rest-room for the teachers. There are three classrooms on the both the main and tl1e second floor. VVe now have room for such places as a publication room for the Maroon, Gleam and Caurierg a costume room for the stage, a library room, a locker orliec, and an airy, light room for printing. Those students who have classes in the new addition are certainly fortunate as they have the advantages of new rooms. One special feature in these rooms is the built-in cupboards, the upper halves of which have glass doors and the lower halves have many useful drawers. Another great improvement in the school, is the remodeling of the cafeteria. The old gym is used for this. VVe have a large number of students interested in athletics, and they especially need hot, wholesome food. Then on the other hand those that do not exercise need the correct food to make up for this lack. Some of the new equipment which has been installed is as follows: a steam table, an electric dishwasher, a cold refrigerator for cold foods, a heating oven for hot foods, running cold water for drinking, and a store-room for candy. The teachers now have a dining room of their own. Their surroundings here are more gay and pleasant than they formerly were. The sewing classes made pretty cretonne curtains for the room and runners for the tables. The greatest achievement of our school this year has been the obtaining of a new gym. A dream that we have looked forward to for so long has at last been fulfilled. This new building is sixty feet by ninety feet. It is much larger than the old gym, which was forty feet by sixty feet. It is situated on the west side of the school where the annex once stood. Besides the main gym floor, there are a balcony, two boys' locker rooms, one girls' locker room, and lavatories. The inside is finished in rough brick. Our coach certainly has much to be proud of as he has three offices in the new building. Our gym floor is among the largest in the city. The cost of the gym was S55,000, 325,000 less than the new addition. Besides having a wonderful place for our games, we now have a large space for gatherings. There is a hallway from the school to the gym, and there is nothing to hinder the taking care of a large crowd. The gym would be a very appro- priate place for tl1e Junior-Senior Prom. Now that so much has been done for the school building, it is up to us, the students, to take care of our gifts and to use them to the best advantage of everyone. It is a pleasure for the Class of 1926 to have the opportunity of using the new addition for at least this little while. Page Fiffj'-.vi.x' The Maroon Johnson High School The Liberal Arts Assembly I 'Q,,s,,,,5E- the first time in the history of Johnson High School prizes l1ave been given to the three graduating seniors who have the best work in art, music, and dramatics. T V' Ben VVittick won the first prize for having done the best art work during his high school career. Ben has made many cover designs and cartoons for our school magazines and has done much other work along the line of art. Clinton Johnson had leading parts in the last two operas given at Johnson, Trial by Jury and the Mikado. He also sang solos at the Christmas and other as- semblies. He has been in the boy's glee club for two years and won the Liberal Arts Honor for having done such excellent work in music. The other prize was won by Eleanor Lindstrom. Eleanor has shown great ability in her dramatic work and has been in many assemblies. She took the part of the angel in the last Christmas assembly and had a leading role in the George YVashington assembly. The committee who picked these students consisted of Miss Goodell, art teach- erg Miss Nelson, music teacher, Miss Morton, dramatic teacher, and Miss Moreland, director of tl1e stage force. These prizes were awarded at an assembly held in May. The winners had parts in the pageant which was along classical lines. The purpose of this assembly was to emphasize that life without beauty and artistic inspiration would be merely a physical process. America has been criticized for its lack of appreciation of beauty, art, music and drama. It has been called a nation of money-grabbers. People go hurrying through life, trying to get as much money as they can, and do not pause long enough to see the beauty in life to appreciate it. In this assembly it was demonstrated how impossible it is to live without art, without music, and without beauty. There is also a practical side to art, to music, and to dramatics. Commercial artists are needed for advertising, and can make a great deal of money in their work. Most artists receive their training in the class rooms of the various grade and high schools in the country, then they go out in the world, and can put their 'training into practical use. Marian Talley is a simple school girl of eighteen years, yet she just made her debut on the Metropolitan stage in New York and has been heralded as a great future prima donna. Miss Talley received almost all of her training in school. Many actors are taken from school at Harvard and other universities. Some of the most successful players in New York, the Washington Square Players, rose from amateurs. The Stuart VValker Portmanteau Players were amateurs, became semi-professionals, and now are professional players. Johnson High School has been emphasizing typewriting, shorthand, and book- keeping, tl1e recognized ways and means of earning money. But this assembly demonstrated that it is also possible to make money in art and other beautiful things, and created interest along these lines of work. This assembly was put on largely under the direction of Miss Moreland. It was she who originated the idea of presenting Liberal Arts Honors to the students who deserved them. As this was the first time these honors were given, there was not as 111ucl1 com- petition as there might have been among the students. Many of them did not know about it. The assembly was a great success, and it is expected that the giving of these honors will soon become a custom, and will create much interest in the Hne arts department. Page Fifty-sef'e1z Johnson High School The Maroon Senior Day .,,.,.j,,,f THE class of 1926 was given the honor of reviving Senior Dayv and writing it into the annals of the history of Johnson High School. The great day was looked forward to with much anticipation by 559' ie everyone, for weren't the underclassmen going to see a wonderful assembly put on by the seniors, and werenlt they going to see that impressive group together in the choice seats of the school auditorium? At last, January 20th arrived, fair and cold. The day opened with the distribution of canes to the seniors. The canes were decorated with a maroon and white pennant attached by maroon and white ribbons. On the white half of the pennant were the words Seniors 1926. The canes were an aid while walking, but when one was seated, there came the question, VVhere shall they be placedP,' Although they were too long to put across the desk, there was no other place for them. In tl1e assembly tl1e following typical scene took place many times: Sophie, a sophomore, who sat in the front of tl1e assembly had reference work to do and had to go back to tl1e library. She started out, but soon there was a crash, a thump and another thump. Sophie, unseeingly, had bumped against a cane. The cane cracked, and a Twelve Centuries, followed by a chemistry, descended to the floor. After apologizing, Sophie continued on her way only to bump into another cane. This time the offense was not so serious as before, only one book fell to the floor. Having picked up this book, Sophie proceeded once more upon her journey. She had taken a few steps when suddenly she was jabbed in the side. Upon investi- gating tl1e cause she found that a person walking down the aisle had pushed the cane over to l1er aisle. Sophie arrived safely at the library and started on her way back, but this time she walked slowly, looked about her, and wound her way around the canes instead of trying to go through them. On the bulletin board was a notice which said that no seniors could talk to an underclassman'until noon, so immediately every undergraduate made up l1is mind to do everything in l1is power to get a senior to talk to him. During Home Room period, the seniors who were not on the program were given special seats in the assembly room. Mr. Guise gave a few announcements, and then turned the program over to the seniors. Clarence Knapp was the announcer for the first part of the program. He wore a high silk hat and a monocle, which insisted upon staying everywhere and any- where except the correct place for monocles. The seniors were very generous that day. The juniors received a Twelve Centuries and it was such a heavy load that their president nearly broke his back trying to carry it. Clarence said that the sophomores would also receive a present. They were anxiously awaiting its arrival when out on the stage bounded a pony. But such a pony! Its legs looked for all the world like those of any young gentleman, and anyone could see that its back was but a red plaid blanket. And such a tail! It looked just exactly like an um- brella waving in the air. VVhat are we to do with it? cried the sophomores. It is to assist you in Latin, gravely replied the announcer. The faculty also received a present, a huge bottle of red ink, but as it was almost examination time, the ink, we fear, did not last long. Frederick Schmalz was announcer for the second act. He explained that every year freshmen got smaller and younger, and behaved worse, so now the seniors would show in what manner they entered Johnson. Tall seniors were scooting around on small kiddie cars, and small seniors-were riding large cars. A drum, tenor horn, bass horn, tambourine, and whistle were played by five lusty seniors, each trying to sec who could make tl1c most noise. The class of 1926, as sophomores, was much quieter. This was depicted by showing a bit of gossip before school. The girls were just at that age where they Page Fifty-eight The llfaroon Johnson High School used excessive paint and powder in order to attract the attentions of some nice boy. They wercn't worrying about where their books were, but the question was, 'AVVhere is my lip-stickfv' The orchestra played a lively tune, and Lucile Fogelberg gave a demonstration of the Charleston. Her strange behavior was explained by the state- ment that she had been out with the cutest guy the night before. As juniors, the class went to the other extreme and were very bashful. A scene from the Junior-Senior prom was shown. Four bashful young ladies and four equally bashful young gentlemen were on the floor. Wllen one boy finally got up enough courage to ask a girl to dance with him, she fainted from surprise. After she and the others regained their composure the dance continued. In the next scene the seniors looked ahead and tried to picture themselves receiving their diplomas. Five seniors, dressed in caps and gowns, received their diplomas from Gordon VVall, the professor. Their steps were slow and unsteady, and their hands trembled as they grasped the long-coveted prize. Grace Presley, fortune teller, gazed into her crystal and foretold l1ow several of the seniors would look in a few years. According to Grace, Inga Jolmson will be the loving mother of two children, Frederick Schmalz will be the successful editor of a large newspaper, Florence Miller will be happily married in the course of a few years, Raymond La Faver, who received much of his training at Johnson, will be a great foot-ball star, Annette Litchfuss will be a great flirt while working as a typistg Eleanor Lindstrom-such a sweet girl-will be a sour and crabby teacher, Florence Heller will be a barber, Gordon Wall, a professor, and Clarence Knapp will have the honor of being the first President of the United States from Minne- sota. Between acts an orchestra, composed of Marcia Bulin, Herbert Brenning, and Stanley Jacobson, played such lively music that every one felt just like getting up and dancing. After school, a senior dance was held in the gymnasium until four-thirty. Ask any senior if he had a good time on that day. VVatch his eyes brighten as he says, I'll say I did! The committee in charge of the day was Cerie Dahlberg, Margaret Rowan, Genevieve Ba Doure, Norvel Brink, and Maurice Selander. The seniors were as- sisted by Miss Moreland in putting on their program. Matinee Dances ,4,,7f,Yf moaning of a saxophone combined with the plaintive wailing of a violin, the dull, heavy, beat of a drum, and the wild, vivacious sounds which come from an active piano, made one quicken his footsteps and go ' J toward tl1e place from which these lively strains of music seemed to come. Upon entering the gym, one immediately saw that one of Johnson High's matinee dances was afoot, for the most popular diversions from study for Johnson High Students are the social dances. These dances may be held by any club after school on any Thursday in the gym. The student council ruled that a school club must undertake the dance and that not more than ten cents should be asked for an admission fee. No outsiders may be admitted, and at least two teachers must be present to chaperone these social affairs. The school orchestra is usually hired for the occasion by the organization putting on the dance, and so they must pay one dollar to each person who is render- ing his services in this manner, and one dollar is also given to the musicians with which to purchase music. Since the whirling about of the light-hearted dancers commences immediately after the close of school, and it is thought that by this time the orchestra has become wearied from its mad dashing forth of jazz, it has been decided that the dance must come to an end at four-thirty, for two hours is long enough. Page Fifty-nine Johnson High School The hlaroon The HJ Banquet ' ' , OME stunts Y Ripping! 'AAnd the eats, oh boy li' Did you notice the QQ if pretty waitress at my table? These and many others were the com- ments made after the JH banquet held April 14, 1926. The event was as J' 'K great a success as ever. The boys turned out in large numbers to meet their old school mates, and many hearty laughs were had over funny occurrences which had taken place when they went to Johnson. The HJ Banquet is an event sponsored by the Junior Class and is given every spring after the last basket-ball game. It is given in honor of the J men for that year in football and basket--ball. The honored men this year were: Shelgren, Cap- tain of the football team, Greene, Luck, Hobbins, Shiffer, Baltozer, Sweeden, Chel- gren, LaFaver, Sundgaard, Wahman, Engelking, Kelly, Holmstrom, and Steidel, Those for basketball were: VVahman, captain, Tatkin, Brindley, Greene, Abelovitz, Hamrin, Shelgren and Shiffer. Special invitations are sent to J men in the alumni, although any boy may attend who is at school or who is an alumnus. The banquet was held in the school cafeteria at 6:45 p. m. From the start the boys knew they were going to have a good time. Pat Hobbins was toastmaster, and under his directions the program was put on in the best way possible. Several notable characters took part. These were Doctor Spears, S. O. S. Hartwell, and Doctor Little. Toasts were given by our principal, J. M. Guiseg our coach, Jack Rees, the football captain, Stan Shelgreng the basketball captain, VVally VVahmang and our student manager for these sports, Emmet Peterson. Peppy music and stunts were not forgotten. The only part the girls played in this event was the serving. This was done by the Junior girls. All too soon the banquet was over but the memory of this year's banquet will always last. Here's to the success of next yearis banquet. '? cl, -Y The Lyceum Course 3 R. GUISE was fortunate in securing a Lyceum course through the Minne- it 255,51 sota University Extension, which was a high class entertaimnent at the Q price of a movie. ' WV ' A season ticket for the series of five programs was only one dollar. Individual tickets cost thirty-five cents. Miss Mueller, Miss Wilkerson, and Mr. Kinney had charge of the sale of tickets. Mr. Carl Scheurer, one of the foremost violinists of the Northwest, and Mr. Henry W'illiams with his 350,000 harp played solos and duos for the first per- formance, October 22, 1925. Miss Morton, our elocutionist, delighted the audience with four selections. Katy Did and Out Where the West Begins were particularly well received. During these selections Miss Morton was accompanied by Miss Smith at the piano. On November 18, Miss Anna Therese Devault, dramatic reader, gave a very interesting program. She was preceded by the Girls' Glee Club and several girls from the Chorus who sang a group of Shakespearean songs. Mr. H. R. Manlove, the man of many faces, gave an exceedingly interesting program on December 10. He gave impersonations of Frenchmen, Jews, Swedes, Italians, Americans, and many others. He has made many audiences laugh and weep over his quaint and humorous characters. The Smith-Spring-Holmes Orchestral Quintet gave their program, consisting of trombone, cello, violin, saxophone, and vocal solos besides duets and trios, on January 8, 1926. Their program was the most varied of any throughout the course. The final number was given by the Chicago Concert Co. on February 1. This company consists of a number of singers of exceptional ability. Page Sixty The Blaroon Johnson High School Mr. Paulus ORTY-SIX YEARS ago, Mr. Paulus was born in the town of Suffield, Ohio. He attended school there and at tl1e Ohio Northern, in Kent. After teaching school in Wisconsin and Indiana, Mr. Paulus came 'WM to St. Paul. In September 1912, he entered Johnson High School as a teacher of stenography, and remained there until the time of his death. He also taught stenography in one of the St. Paul night-schools and at summer school. On October 141, 1925, Mr. Paulus' hip was broken by a fall, and he was con- fined to the St. Paul Hospital. But even with the shadow of death upon him, Mr. Paulus was not unmindful of his duties as stenography teacher, and from his death- hed he sent messages of help to his students. Septic poisoning was the immediate cause of his death which occurred on December 11, 1925. All who knew him realized that they had lost a true friend and helper, and that there was no one to fill the empty place. His life was one of serviceg he was devoted to his work and friends. Life will be infinitely sweeter because of the memories which will always be cher- ished by his friends. Truly was he loved by all. Page Sixty-ozze Johnson High School The Maroon Scene is from the Christmas play, Zerah. , ,. Inga .S1.1'fy-tivo The Maroon Johnson High School The Christmas Assembly Qg OR many years it has been the custom for the senior class to present the Christmas assembly, so on December 22, tl1e Class of '26 gave their pro- 1 gram. School was dismissed at noon and the program started at one ' A' o'clock. The main hall and assembly had been tastefully decorated with evergreens and silver stars by the decorating committee consisting of Herbert Gulden, Eleanor Lindstrom, Laurine Nielson, Margaret Lofgren, Olger Halverson, Harold Spindler, ltoy Larson, Marshall Genshow and Clarence Bensen. The committee was assisted by Miss Goodell. Mr. Guise gave a short talk at the beginning of the program and then the school sang O Come All Ye Faithful. The class president, Clarence Knapp, in behalf of the seniors, greeted the school. Mildred Anderson, dressed all in white and carrying a lighted candle, gave a reading, The Spirit of Yule Speaks. A song, Adore and Be Still, was sung by Miss Smith. She was accompanied by Miss Nelson at the piano and Herbert Brenning at the violin. The most enjoyable part of the program was the play, Zerah, which was directed by Miss Morton. The scenes of the play were laid outside of the Khan at Beth- lehem and the time was that of Jesus' birth. In connection with the play many beautiful Christmas carols, such as Silent Night, and We Three Kings of Orient Are were sung by the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs. The solo parts were sung by Clinton Johnson, Ethel O'Neill, and Miss La Marr, who has assisted us at other assem- blies. The Johnson High School orchestra played for this and also gave their own selection, Dance of the Happy Sprites. Those taking part in the play were Zerah, a young lad about twelve years old, Catherine Burcalowg Zilpha, his mother, Helen Schaberg Nabor, his uncle, Philip Day, Nathan, his grandfather, Lorenz Lindstromg and Ruth, his friend and play- mate, Myrtle Philbrick. The traveler and his wife were VValter hlillcr and Myrtle Schnaithg Joseph of Nazareth was Margaret Mcl-Iattie, and Mary, his wife, was Lillian Yvhite. Eleanor Lindstrom was the angel. Those taking the part of travellers who came to Bethlehem to be taxed were Harriet Johnson, Dorothy Eck- man, Harriet Gahagan, Clarence Bensen, and George Luck, while Edwin Griffin, Clarence Knapp, and YVallace Lang were the adoring shepherds. The three kings were Vvallace Pemer, Olger Halverson, and VValter Baumeister. The costumes were designed by Miss Goodell and Miss Loverin. The stage was set by the stage force, under the supervision of Miss Moreland. After the play was over, the younger students were greatly excited by the appearance of Sidney Eggert, who impersonated Santa Claus. He had a radio and tuned in at Johnson to find out if the children really had been good. He found them studiously studying stories, poems, plays, and minimum requirements under the supervision of their English teachers, but when lunch period arrived, they forgot all that they had learned, for in the lunch room Santa Claus heard such grammatical errors as, Hey, gotta dime? Borrow it to mc, will yah? and, Gimme a coupla sandwiches. In the corridors and halls, the language was just as bad. Those on the air were Lucile Fogelberg, Grace Presley, Irene Jolmson, Carolyn Hanft, Gerda Haslund, Edward Baltozcr, Howard Kelly, Frank Leistiko, Stanley Shclgren, Allan Bredahl, and Harold Spindlcr. Santa Claus then gave presents to Miss Ask, the class adviser, and other teachers who helped with the-presentation of the play, the stage force, Mr. Guise, Andrew Engstrom, and those few students who had been good for the past year. Miss Wilkerson directed this part of the pro- gram. Santa Claus' departure for other schools marked the end of the program, and the students rushed out of the room. Then they got their books and wraps and left the school, calling Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to their friends, and hoping that a richer Santas Claus than tl1e one at school wouldn't forget to leave them many things on Christmas Eve, even if they had been naughty. Page Sz',vty-tlzree Johnson High School The Maroon The J unior-Senior Play ,J,,,igBIF Senior-Junior play, My Friend From India, was scheduled to be given May 6 and 7. f Tl1e play is a light, dramatic comedy. Erastus Underholt, a retired ' pork-packer from Kansas City, exerts himself much to get l1is family into society. At last a way to make a dramatic entrance into this exclusive circle is presented by his son. Charlie Underholt Hnds a strange man in tl1e house who is supposedly his friend, and knowing that he must explain the presence of the stranger to his father, introduces him as my friend from India. Mr. Underholt, of course, immediately seizes upon this as an easy means to get into this coveted society group, for the craze to get into higher society has seized the family. In the mean- time, as is quite natural, many complications arise making the debut of tl1e family into the set of society aristocrats a difficult problem.

The Council decided to form a system which stated that a major activity would count ten points and any minor activity would count either seven or five points. The limit for any student was set at twenty points. Tl1e idea was to lessen the heavy responsibility of so many activities that is always thrust on those who show ability. Some Council members believed that the plan was too strict, but it was shown in a discussion that no student could carry more points that tl1e system allowed and keep up with his studies. Three members of the Hi-Y Club held a spirited debate as to whether that club could uphold the system in the future because Alfred Hobbins then had twenty-seven points. At a meeting of the Council on November 4, it was decided that a revision of the point system was necessary. A committee consisting of VValtcr Baumeister, Frederick Schmalz, Gladys Still, Jessie McDonald, and the Council advisers changed the limit of points from twenty to twenty-five but made some very important offices count fifteen points. Being the editor-in-chief of the Maroon or Gleam, a class president, or president of the Student Council counts fifteen points to a student's credit. Various other offices count ten or five points. To carry out the work of the council a revival of the court was planned. Steps were taken toward this endg Lyman Hansen was appointed judge, and Edgar Honebrink, chief-of-police. So far the system has been quite successful. Page Sixty-foil 1' The lNIaroon Johnson High School Trial by Jury SYNOPSIS HE opera Trial By Jury was given March 25 and 26 by the Boys, and Girls' Glee Clubs. It was a one act opera, and the scene was in a court room. Trial By Jury is the story of a breach of promise case. Edwin, the defendant, has jilted Angelina, the plaintiff. She appeals to the court to make Edwin pay substantial damages. The judge, jury, and spectators are on her side, and she wins their love. Tile counsel for the plaintiff pleads her case, and the defendant pleads his own. The bridesmaids fall in love with the defendant and help him to plead his case. They are much interested in him, and do not think the court ought to make him pay heavily, because it would ruin him. The defendant's proposition is to marry the plaintiff today, and marry the other lady tomorrow. This pleases the judge, bridesmaids and defendant, but not the Others. When all the plans are rejected by the plaintiff's counsel, the judge becomes angered, and tells them to go home, that he hasn't time to stay there all day, and then calls the the usher feeble-minded. He comes down from the bench and tells them all that he will marry the plainj tiff himself. This is the only plan which pleases them all, and when the judge makes that announcement, there is much rejoicing. The opera was accompanied by Marie Bonn, pianist, and a stringed orchestra.

Bob Martin is a Minnesota football star who has achieved great fame. A' ' Ma The big game of the season is to be played on Thanksgiving day, but Bobis fatl1er has forbidden anyone of tl1e family to go to it. The reason for this declara' tion is that Mr. Martin has always had a large turkey dinner and many guests on Thanksgiving, and he sces no reason why he should not adhere to this custom. Mr. Martin is not in a happy mood on Thanksgiving, because everything that he sees, does, or hears, tells him about his son Bob and the game that is to be played that afternoon. The papers are full of itg one by one the relatives offer some excuse for not being able to come to dinner, Qmost of them will go to the gamej and then Nora, the maid, announces that she is to take the afternoon off, and go to the game. Finally hir. hlartin sees that it will be impossible for him to have a turkey dinner when there is no maid, but he still is determined not to go to the game, or allow any of l1is family to go. Then Edward Biddle, Mr. Martin's second cousin, stops in for a few minutes. He says that he is going to the game and there is no doubt but that Bob's team will be beaten. At that Mr. Martin becomes angry and says that no one can beat Bob and his team, and suddenly decides that nothing will prevent him from going to the game. Kenneth Brindley took the part of Bob, Kenneth Kinstler was his father, Laura Nelson took the part of his mother, and Winifred Hauser was his sister. Dorothy Zachrison was the maid, and the part of her friend, Captain Michael Dolan of the Minneapolis Police Force, was taken by Robert VVylie. Arnold Stromberg was the uncle, and Lloyd Leider was the second cousin. Mr. Guise and Arnold Sungaard, the vice-president of the class, both gave short talks. America was sung by the schoolg the boys' and girls' glee clubs also san , and the orchestra ave a leasing selection. Evdiyone took his part gvell, ariod the program was a great success. VVe are looking forward to the time when this class will present another assembly, and hope that it mav be soon. The New Print Shop HORTLY after school opened last September, the longelooked-for room for QF. 'ij the print shop was ready for use. It was decidedly an advantage over the f'4'f1Nd old one, for that was but a little, dark, musty room situated in the sub- basement. It was poorly ventilated for it had no windows, the room was lighted by electricity which certainly was not beneficial to students' eyes. There was a cement floor which made the room cold and damp, and broke every piece of type that fell on it. Unless students knew just exactly where the room was located, it was almost impossible to find it. The first advantage of the new print shop is that it is located on the first floor and may be easily found by students looking for it. It is large, airy, and well ventie lated, it has six large Windows which help to make the room light, also there is a wooden floor instead of the old cement one. The walls are decorated, and there is a great deal of blackboard space which is a help to both Mr. Knowles and the students. L3 Two job presses are used for printing small matter, such as envelopes, cards, and single sheet letter heads. This machinery is located in the new print shop. The old shop contains the cylinder press which is used for printing newspapers and magazines. It is also used as a place for storage of stock. The extra space gives added advantages in routing the work. Because of the more congenial surroundings, students have been able to do better work than formerly, and everyone thinks that the new shop is a great improvement.

In former years, before the publication of the Courier, the Gleam contained school news and many departments as well as the best of the schoolis literature. This year with the advent of of a new literary adviser, Miss Collins, and the influx of new ideas from the Minnesota High School Press Association convention, the staff decided to trans- form the Gleam into a literary magazine, dropping all the old departments except athletics, exchanges, alumni, and humor. If the change meets with student approval, other changes are also contemplated. Johnson l1as long felt the need of a publication to stimulate interest in writing among the student body. There is no better encouragement than seeing one's work in print and so, although the Glfam was formerly written entirely by seniors, ma- terial will be solicited from throughout the school. Merit is the only standard re- quired of the work. It is hoped that this new and more democratic Gleam will both encourage students with ability to write and also influence students at large to read good literature. For the second successive time the Gleam has placed second among the maga- zines of its class in the state. With all the exchanges and improvements which have taken place during the past year, we expect to place even higher at the next con- vention.

HARRELI. ---f ------ 1 'retlsuref Purpose: To gather and preserve all data concerning the history of this school, to collect and keep accurate record of all persons graduated during its entire history, to gather and preserve appropriate collections of clippings, books, pictures, or any other material of interest to the school or its alumni, and to care for all gifts pre- sented to this high school and the records therefrom. QW, ,Q.fHE Historical society is different from everv other organization in Johnson 2112931 '1 ' ' - f af'1 d .gi igh Sc 1ool in that it was not orme or t ie stu ents. In 1919 Miss Perry, who was appointed chairman of the historical ' J committee, and Miss Freeman, who was appointed chairman of the alumni committee, decided that their committees could work more efficiently as a unit than as separate organizations, so they formed what they called the Historical Society. Its membership consists of a committee of the faculty and twenty-five students. Tl1ese students are elected every October by the faculty. It consists of ten seniors, ten juniors, and five sophomores. The eligibility is based upon scholarship, scholarship, however, which is not based upon marks as much as upon the ability to think and work independently. Each class adviser gives to the secretary of the society a list of students whom she thinks possesses these qualities. From these lists the members are elected. These elections place them in the society for the time that they are in school. The society keeps scrapfbooks in which they have newspaper clippings, pictures, and any other material found concerning the school. These collections have been put on exhibition once or twice. The society once published a historical number of the Gleam. This publication gave the history of the school. They also keep a record of all students who graduate from the school. They have two sets of cards. One set, which is arranged in alphabetical order, gives the name, address, and occupation of the student, the other set, which is arranged according to classes, gives the name, address, occupation, and a picture of the student. They also have a Hle of every Maroon, Gleam, and Courier, that has been published since the formation of the society. Page S1'.1'fy-nine Johnson High School The ltfaroon Back rowfF.

Gmsi: ---s Advisory Board Purpose: To promote a spirit of self-government and responsibiity among the students, to influence the general actions of the student body in all matters which affect the reputation of Johnson High School, and to promote the general welfare of the school. HE Student Council is swiftly becoming the strongest and most representa- tive body of students in school. It has always acted for the good of the school although it has been criticized by narrow-minded students who fail 3 ' J to comprehend the working of self-government. The council is composed of one representative from each session room and the honorary members. The presidents of thc Senior Class, the Junior Class, the Picket Club, and the Hi-Y Club are honorary members. The president of the council is empowered to appoint other honorary members. The council contains students from all over the school, and a wide range of student opinion is represented. The most important work of the Student Council this year was the revival and modification of the honor point system. This system, designed to prevent too many honors and too much work from being heaped on one person, has been rigidly en- forced and several students have been summoned to court and deprived of some of their honors. The court was re-established this year to enforce the honor point system, the traffic regulations, and the conduct laws. Many minor cases have been tried. None was more interesting or more unusual than the case in which the Court's judge was the defendant. He, hciwever, was proved innocent. Formerly the council controlled the matinee dances, but this year it was decided that any organization might sponsor a dance, provided that certain regula- tions were enforced. Among the many matters of importance up for consideration by the Council, were the regulation of the attendance of J. S. Prom, and the making of a schedule for dates for club meetings. It is hoped that the adverse criticism against the council will shortly abate and that the council will be enabled to continue its beneficial work unimpeded.

The Girls' Glee Club Q., far? HE senior girls sang at a meeting of the Parent-Teachers' Association. The meeting was for senior girls and thc P. T. A. At the same meeting Her- bert Brenning played a violin solo. ., 4 ing was for junior girls. At another meeting of the P. T. A. the junior girls sang. This meet' The Girls' Glee Club sang several Shakespearian songs at the 1925 Con- vention of the Minnesota Educational Association. For a meeting of the Womenis Civic League, the Girls, Glec Club also sang the same Shakespearian songs as they did for the M. E. A. Land of Heart's Desire A Cantata, entitled the Land of Ifearfx Desire, was given by the Girls' Chorus and the Girls, Glee Club on the same evening as the opera was giien. There were seventy-Hve girls in the cantata. Miss Grace La Marr, who sang at one of our assemblies last term, sang the solo parts. Miss Gertrude Smith played the accompaniment. The Lmzfl of Heartfr Desire is a story of the Lady of Seville and a valiant Knight who vows to search the wide world for her Heartis Desire. He neither knows where it is, nor how it is to be found. The Knight goes forth, and many years pass by. Death finally comes to the Lady. Her wraith dwells in the fountain spray, and in its tinkling waters the story of her unknown joy is found. Meanwhile, the Knight joins the bold Coronado's band, and roams over the lands of YVestern Spain. The soft winds finally lure him to the place where the thirst fiends dwell, to the land of desert demons, where madness works its spell.

MVS? HEN the Girls' Club was organized in 1913, there were three hundred and Q, fi forty girls attending Johnson. Since then the membership has increased ,gui each year until at the present time there are four hundred and ninety 'A girls who belong to the club. In reading these statistics one should stop to consider that during the last year no freshmen have entered this high school. The principal reason for first organizing this club was to promote a feeling of friendliness among the girls at Johnson High. Throughout the thirteen years of its existence the club advisers with the co-operation of the officers have accom- plished a great deal both in charitable work outside of the school and in fostering a spirit of friendly relations. This is the first year that the oflicers have not been voted upon in the home rooms. Instead a meeting was held in the assembly for all the girls who wished to attend, and it was they wl1o voted on those who had been nominated. At this meeting the following were elected: president, Harriet Gahagang vice-president, Rachael Sorlieg secretary, Eleanor Hanseng treasurer, Catherine Burcalow. No dues had ever been collected until last term when it was decided that every girl in the school should pay a fee of five cents a semester. In October, a candy sale was held, and with tl1e money taken in Thanksgiving baskets were provided for six needy families who live in the community. In January, the club gave a matinee dance. The Girls' Club is the only organization which gives an annual party for the faculty, the entertainment being sponsored by the senior girls.

OHNSON HIGH SCHOOL has the honor of having tl1e largest and most progressive Hi-Y organization in the city. The president of our club, last year, Daniel Brabeck, was appointed All-city president. i ' The club holds its meetings every Tuesday night, but alternate Tues- day nights are set aside for committee meetings. As it is the custom for the boys to open the meeting with a reading from some book pertaining to Christian charac- ter, they have obtained Fosdiclis Twelve Tests of Character, and at each meeting a portion of this is read and discussed. At each meeting, a word of prayer is also given. A number of speakers have been secured to speak to the club members at the various meetings throughout the year. Among these are Al. Johnson, H. P. Keller, Geo. M. Braek, D. VVallace, and J. H. Windsor. H. P. Keller, county commissioner, spoke to the club in favor of a state con- stabulary, as well as stating his opinions concerning the crime wave which seems to have taken such a strong hold of our country at the present time. Geo. M. Brack, of the Merchants' Bank, spoke on banking as a vocation, D. VVallace, Editor of The Farmer, spoke on journalism as a vocation, while J. H. VVindsor, of the VVinds0r Carbon Co., spoke on salesmanship as a vocation. Once a month a city-wide meeting is held at the Y. M. C. A. at which meeting one of the high schools is held responsible for the speaker and the entertainment. Unlike most club initiations, the ritual used in a Hi-Y initiation is not one of rough eut-ups, but is formal and very impressive. The club extends an invitation to attend its initiation to various faculty members. Through the sale of lost and found articles, together with the proceeds from a matinee dance sponsored by the club, a new Hag was presented to the school.

The boys on the force are under the direction of Miss Moreland and receive half a credit for their efforts. Clad in tl1e olive drab uniforms, on the backs of which the design J. H. S. is inscribed in red, the boys perch upon ladders, on top of the steps, or sit on regularly-fashioned chairs while they study their library of plays which has re- cently been acquired. Other subjects of study are the photographs of stage sets from national drama magazines and the staging of other high schools and colleges. At present their height of ambition is to make the standard of our stage equal to the standard of schools of the first class. Although electrical equipment and more tools have been added, the stage is handicapped by the lack of a proper lighting system, fly galleries, and sets of scenery. All stage properties such as baby spots, curtains, etc., have a place in the cabinets, seven in number, which were recently installed for that purpose. Many objects such as the wall and well in the Christmas play, and the moun- tain, trees, and bridge in The Mikado, last year's operetta, which have been staged effectively, were built by the force. Besides the work at Johnson of staging Miss Morton's, Miss Moreland's, Miss Nelson's productions, and assisting at the Lyceum Course entertainments and the Parent Teachers Association programs, the boys were called upon by the YVomen's club for assistance with the productions of The Fox Woman, a play acted by famous Japanese players.

FOOTBALL g,,,,?fh,BfH1i call for football candidates, which was answered hy about twenty-four men, came with the opening of school. Such a poor turnout made a difficult task for Coach Rees to pick a good team. Most of the men were new and M J had much to learn, but with hard work they were soon developed into good players. This year, althougll Johnson lost many good players through graduation, six lcttermen were back. Captain Shelgren, Ray LaFaver, and Harvey Green, who played in the hackfield last year, were hack, George Luck, Pat Hobhins, and George Stiedel, lines men, were also back. Coach Rees built his team around these men. The most promising candidates out for the team were Shiffcr, Taylor, Engel- king, VVahman, Baltozer, Chelgren, Winton, Sundgaard, Brindley, Ahlberg, and Dan- iclson. Every night the team went out to Phalen for practice, which consisted of run- ning, kicking, passing, and tackling. This year, practice was severely handicapped hy the weather. Finally, after much hard work, Coach Recs had a good hardeiighting team. They scrimmaged with Luther Seminary and played lVhite Bear and St. Paul Acad- emy in practice games. In the game with VVhite Bear the boys from Johnson played hard and clean, but they could not score more than one touch-down. VVhite Bear was the heavier of the two teams and showed more drive than Johnson. The final score was VVhite Bear thirteen, and Johnson, seven. The St. Paul Academy game was better played, our team showing stronger defense. The two teams were very evenly matched, and the Academy made but one touch-down. Shelgrcn and Luck played well for Johnson. Page Eiglzfy-one Johnson High School The lllaroon Football As the opening conference game approached, the school spirit at Johnson was greatly stirred. With a new cheer leader, Bingo', Clang, leading the school in pep fests, thc school seemed to have had life put into it. A great many tickets were sold by the ticket agents, who deserve much praise for their work. Johnson played Central at Lexington park in the opening game of the season. It was noticeable throughout the entire game that Central was by far the heavier team. Central's heavy line time and time again opened up big holes for Callander and Berry to go through. Although Johnson was beaten, they fought courageously to hold the score as low as possible. In this game Lalfaver was the hardest for C ' ' ' ' ' 'J D 'gren made the majority of the tackles. The absence of Marvin Chelgren was a great han- dicap to Johnson. The final score was John- son, Og and Central, 19. One of the surprising things concerning the attendance of the Central game was that Johnson had a better percentage of stu- dents there than Central in spite of the fact that Central is only a few blocks away from the field while Johnson is on the other side of the city. The next week's practice was harder than before. Johnson was going to fight it out to the finish. The next game was with hfe- chanie Arts at Fort Snelling. Although the student body had lost some of its enthusiasm because of the defeat by Central, Johnson again had a better percent- age of students at the game than its oppo- nents. Johnson was not able to stop the powerful Mechanic-'s team. Captain Schultz and Doon Romnes, stars for Mechanics, ran wild and scored several times each. I.aFaver and Chelgren were the stars for Johnson. The final score was hfeehanics, 48, and A U Johnson, 0. The last game brought together two evenly-matched teams. Johnson and Humboldt fought once more for third place. The teams were matched in weight and experience. Humboldt was out to break the jinx of three straight defeats by Johnson, while Johnson wanted to make it four straight wins over Humboldt. Enthusiasm was greatly aroused at school. The sale of tickets was very brisk. The game was hard fought and evenly played. The score was seven to seven at the end of the third quarter. The break of the game came in the last quarter with the ball in Johnsonis possession. Nelson of Humboldt intercepted a pass and made a brilliant eighty-yard run for a touch-down. Jolmson could not overcome this lead and went down to a thirteen to seven defeat. LaFaver was our star on the offense. Shelgren, Walinian, and Engelking played a good defensive game. Johnson did not place any men on the All City Eleven. However, George Luck, whose playing was steady at all times, Slim VVahman, who played a good game at the end in every game, and Captain Shelgren, our best defensive backiield man, as well as LaFaver, the big star of every game, received honorable mention.

Basketball JUIINSOX IVINS THIS VITY CII,J.lll'IU.YSHIl'. INCH four lettermen from the 1921-1925 season were back, Johnson was QQ ' expected to be represented by a championship team. The team more than e ,Q lived up to the expectations. Coach Rees, although fortunate in having x 'S more lettermen back than any of the other high school coaches had, was handicapped by the lack of a gym. Our new gym, which was supposed to have been finished before the beginning of the season, was not completed until after Easter. This lack of a gym made it ditlicult for the team to practice and train properly. Coach Rees and studentvmanager Peterson were continually on the go trying to find places to practice. Most of our practice work was done at the Macalester gym which was available about twice a week. Other practice con- sisted of hap-hazard practice games and scrimmages with teams all ovcr the Twin ffities. According to many critics, the team's staleness toward the end of the season can be blamed upon the short and hurried practice before the season opened. Captain ll'ahman, Brindley, Tatkin and Greene were regulars back from the 1925 season. Other promising candidates for positions were Abclovitz, forwardg Hamrin, centerg Shiffer, guard, and Shelgren, guard. VVahman, Greene, lirindley, Tatkin, and Abclovitz became this year's regulars. Ilamrin might well have been regarded as a sixth regular. In YVahman, Tatkin, and Abelovitz, Johnson had the best forward line in the city. All were excellent shots and hard-fighting men. They worked very well in combinations. Tatkin showed more iight and courage than any other player in the city. Brindley was the best stationary guard produced in the city while Greene, the other guard, was excellent at both offense and defense. Johnson beat such teams as South St. Paul, Roosevelt, Stillwater, and lVhite Bear. Page I5:',c11f,v-flirec' Johnson High School The hfaroon I Basketball CENTRAL Our first game of the season was played against Central on the latter's floor. The game started fast. Centralls guards were unable to stop the three muske- teers, as Abelovitz, Wahman, and Tatkin were called. Led by Abelovitz, our men ran up a high score. Brindley and Greene efficiently smothered Centralys offense. The fighting Maroon team emerged winners. The score was 29-14. MECHANICS The first Mechanics game was scheduled to be played at Johnson, but since the gym was not completed it was played at Central. Newspaper men predicted a hard battle and rated the teams as equals. Swede Nelson, Mechanicis center, started the game, making a brilliant field goal from the tip off. For a few minutes glum Johnsonites feared a defeat but Vvahman was on, and our forwards soon piled up a lead. Waliman starred scoring six baskets and two or three free throws. Brind- ley played an excellent defense game. The final scene was Johnson, 341, Mechanics, 22. H UMBOLDT The final game of the first round was played against Humboldt. Johnson was fav- ored to win easily. Humboldt had lost both to Central and to Mechanics. Johnson an- ticipated but little trouble in winning. The Cherokee Indians, however, were out for i blood and did their best to break into the win column. The game was rough, Hum- ' boldt showing great driving force. Led by Griswold, a former Johnsonite, they played a good game. As in the other games, Johnson's superior team work won the game. Tatkin and Greene starred for Johnson. Griswold played a good game. Johnson, 373 Humboldt, 17. MECHANICS The schedule was changed at the beginning of the second round, Johnson played Mechanics instead of Central. The game was played on Saturday night, February 27. This was the first game in the history of the St. Paul high school basketball that was ever played at night. The game was scheduled to be played at Mechanics, but the great demand for tickets influenced the officials to hold the game at Macalester. Between three and four thousand people packed into the gym. The game was especially thrilling because Johnson could cinch the title by winning. On the other hand, if Mechanics won, there would be a tie for first place. The game started fast. Johnson with superior team work soon secured what appeared to be a safe lead. The half ended with the score 8 to 2 in Johnson's favor. In the third quarter Mechanics outplayed and outscored Johnson, tying the score 10 all. The fourth quarter started with the defense of both teams breaking up all attempts for a basket. Suddenly Johnson broke loose and scored two baskets. Then the game slowed up again. Johnson tried to keep the lead by playing a cautious defense game. Swede Nelson broke th-rough for another basket and the game ended. Score, Johnson, 14+g Mechanics, 12. Abelovitz, Tatkin, and Brindley starred. Page Eighty-fozw The Maroon Johnson High School Basketball CENTRAL Johnson next defeated Central at Central. The game was slow. Both teams tried hard but Johnson was stale and the forwards couldn't find tl1e basket with their customary ease. The guards, too, were not playing their usual fast game. Johnson could cinch the championship by winning tl1e game. Central's team played hard with no avail. The score was 29-21 in Johnson's favor. H UZWB OLD T Having cinched the championship at the Central game, Johnson did not have anything to worry about except to avoid a defeat. The game was played as a pre- liminary to the Central-Mechanics game, but proved to be far more interesting than the main event. Mechanics and Central were Hghting for second place. The game was on Friday night, March 5, at Macalester. The game started excitingly. Griswold, Humboldt's star forward, sank a pretty one hand shot. Abelovitz came back and tied the score with a difhcult shot from the side. The score sea-sawed back and forth, and the half ended 10-8, Hum- holdtis favor. This was the Hrst time this year that Johnson was losing at the half. After a short rest our team, fresh and full of fight, brought the score 16 to 10 before they could be stopped. It began to look as though Johnson was going to have an easy time. Humboldt, however, soon tied the score. Toward the end of the game they took the lead by a score of 19-18. Brindley was fouled and tied the score. Again Humboldt took the lead with another basket. Johnson called time out and talked the situation over. Humboldt was wild with joy. Play was re- sumed. It seemed as though Humboldt would surely win. VVith thirty second to go, Greene tied the score with a long shot. An overtime period was necessary, and at the start of the three minute period, Abelovitz went wild, scoring three successive baskets to Humboldt's one. The final score was Johnson, 27, Humboldt, 23. Abelovitz with eight field-goals starred for Johnson. Greene, who saved the game witl1 his long goal, also played a good game. Danner who scored six baskets was tl1e outstanding star for Humboldt. EDISON Johnson won tl1e right to play Edison, Minneapolis, for tl1e regional champion- ship, because they l1ad won the city championship. Johnson had met Edison in several scrimmages before the opening of the regular season. Although no scores had been kept, tl1e Edison team had more than held its own. Edison had also made a better showing in the Minneapolis race than Johnson had in St. Paul. The illness of Tatkin made the situation still worse for Johnson. The game started fast. Both teams played hard. However, Edison had better team work and out-played our team. They broke up our defense easily. After a few minutes, Hamrin replaced Tatkin who showed plainly the effects of his late illness. Hamrin played a good offensive game. Afterwards Tatkin again went into the lineup. Johnson lost 31-21.

Swimming YZWTC HE swimming team, with five lettermen back, was expected to make a strong bid for the city championship this year. The team, under the coaching of Mr. Bergh and Len Bright, practiced hard and was in good 3' condition for the opening meet with Central High School. Captain Hansen and Howard Kelly, last yearis lcttermen, were expected to make many points in fancy diving. Honebrink, the 200 yard wizard, was another letterman back, and he was almost certain to place in one or two events. The other two lettermen were Lang and Lundgren. Lang, an all-city man last year, was the best dash man on the team. He swam in the relay, medley, and 100 yard dash. Lang was closely followed by Lundgren who swam in the relay, medley, and 50 yard dash. Around these five lettermen the two coaches soon had worked up a good swimming team. Other promising swimmers were GriHin, Hedberg, and Pou- sette. One of the drawbacks to the success of the team was the indiferenee of the school. The student-body did not support its swimming team, but although there were but a few spectators at each meet, the team did its best each time. When the first meet with Central came, the team was composed as follows: the relay team, Honebrink, Lundgren, Lang, and Hedberg, the 50 yard dash, Lundgren, and Griffin, the 100 yard dash, Lang and Grifhng the 200 yard dash, Honebrink and Kelly, the 50 yard backstroke, Hansen and Lang, the 75 yard breast stroke, Hansen and Honebrink, the fancy diving, Hansen and Kelly. The Hrst meet found Johnson in top form and they downed Central by a score of 39-31. This meet found Lang, Lundgren, Honebrink, and Hansen taking firsts, while the other members of the team placed second or third. In this first meet Central scored but one point' in the single events, that being in the breast stroke. Lang, Lundgren, and Honebrink were easy winners in the 100, 50 and 200 yard dashes, while Captain Hansen, although he did not come up to expectations, also scored some of his team's points. Following the Central meet came several weeks of hard practice. The next meet, which was with Mechanics, had to be called off two or three times because of other doings at school. This meet would practically decide the championship, and although Mechanics was favored by most critics, Johnson was given a fair chance to upset last yearis championship rating. When, after much delay, the date was set and Johnson and Mechanics met, the Johnson boys, although they tried hard, could not win from Mechanics. There Page Eiglziy-six The Maroon Johnson High School Swimming were several upsets in the meet, but most of them were in favor of the blue and white. Captain Hansen, who was expected to take first place in diving, was off form. It had been expected that he would have little trouble, and it was a big surprise when instead of a iirst place he could do no better than to take third. His poor showing in this meet was caused by a sore back and also the fact that he had got stale diving too much. Lang was Johnson's star, winning first place in the 100 yard dash and also in the 50 yard dash. Honebrink was close behind Lang with two second places. Beside these two city meets Johnson had one meet with Edison of Minneapolis and two was Hamline. In the meet with Edison the breaks were against Jolmson, and tlley came out on the short end of a 39 to 29 score. Lang, who is always used to swimming in a 25 yard pool, lost the 100 yard dash be- cause of his failure to complete the five laps. After completing four laps he stopped, think- ing he was through and not realizing that he had to swim one more lap. The two Hamline meets were lost by scores of 52-17 and 39-29. TV.-ITER POLO The water polo team representing Jolmson High School was composed of the members of the swimming team. Lang, Honebrink, and Griffin composed the forward line, Hansen, Kelly, and Hedberg, the guards, and Howard Pousette played goal guard. The team entered the first flame with Me- chanics without any practice. Mechanics won by a score of 6-2. Lang and Honebrink scored for Johnson. Pousette playing his first game at goal guard played a good game. Captain Hansen. In the Central game Johnson showed great improvement and won by a score of 2-0. Honebrink and Pousette starred. ALL-CITY This year Johnson placed two men on the all-eity. The two men were Lang and Honebrink. Lang placed in the 200 yard relay, 50 yard dash, and 50 yard backstroke, Honebrink placed in the 200 yard free style and in the 150 yard medley. Others who drew honorable mention are: Captain Hansen, and Linton Lundgren. Hansen, had he placed second in the Mer-hanic's meet, would have been placed on the all-city team also. Much credit goes to Mr. Bergh in the showing that the boys made. l0f sm.- Q2 X I 'Q lhlge lfiglzlj'-.vcrcir Johnson High School The Maroon Back row-Schorr, Kopp, Gulden, liberhardt, Hobbins, Front rowvtfalahan, Liang, Hall, Rolig, Kremer. Hockey OHNSON won second place in the hockey race although adverse condi- tions at the beginning of the season made our showing almost incredible. The call for hockey candidates was answered by about twenty men. 'A' 'si The financial standing of the team was so low at the beginning of the season that it was doubtful whether Johnson High was to have a team or not. A timely donation from the Picket Club enabled the team to start playing. There were Hve lettermen back this year and several other good players came out to practice. VVith the prospects of an excellent team good support was expected from the student and the faculty, but this support failed to materialize. Johnson made the poorest showing of any school in the city in the matter of attendanceg there was never more than a handful of spectators from Johnson at any of our games. Two rounds of hockey were to be played. Mechanics was favored to win the championship easily. Johnson entered the race with inadequate funds, practice, and equipment. The illness of Hobbins made the situation still more hopeless, the coach was undecided up until the last moment whether or not he should allow the team to go out. In spite of these obstacles the team went out and won second place, making a better showing than any previous team from Johnson. Mechanics The first game of the season, which was played against the strong Mechanic's team, proved disastrous to Johnson. Our team showed lack of practice and the loss of Hobbins, star goal-guard, had disheartened our men. The score was Mechanics, 7g Johnson O. Our second game with Mechanics was much harder fought. Since Mechanics had defeated us so easily tl1e first game, Johnson was expected to lose badly again. However, the team played a strong offensive game, forcing the game into an over- time period before losing by the score of 2-1. Hobbins, Schorr and Kopp were the stars for Johnson. Central The second game of the season was played with Central. Central was favored to win, but Johnson again upset the dope. We won 3-0. Our defense worked perfectly, and the Central offense was greatly outclassed. Hobbins was called upon to make but two stops., Schorr scored two of our goals, and Rolig the other. Over-confidence almost caused us to lose our second game with Central. John- son was out-played during the first two periods. With but four minutes left to play, .and Central leading with one goal, Kromer, Johnson's diminutive wing scored tying Page Eighty-eight Tl1e hlaroon Johnson High School Hockey the count and making an over-time period necessary. Johnson came back strongly during the over-time period. YVe scored three more goals and won L11-1. IIN 711 bold!! Because of our win over Central, we were favored to win from Humboldt. The day proved to be an off-day for Johnson. Nelson, a new man for the VVestsi'ders, skated through the entire Johnson Team, and scored the only goal in the game. The last game of our season was played against Humboldt. Second place was at stake. The game opened fast and tl1e goalies were kept busy. Neither team scored during the first period. In the second period, Johnson scored three times, and won 3-0. ALL-CITY TEAIVI Three Johnson men were placed on the all-city team. Kopp won a place on the first team at a defense position. Schorr and Rolig were awarded places as center and defense respectively on the second team. Although Hobbins didn't make either of the teams, he deserved credit for his remarkable work. Captain Sehorr Baseball HIS year with practically a full team of veterans back, Johnson was well prepared to enter into the high school race. With Hobbins and Blad as catcher, and Olson, Freeman, and Sandifer as pitchers, the battery was complete. The other lettermen back were VVardrum, Engelking, Kelly, and Green. Besides these men the most promising men out for the team were Ham- rin, Abelovitz, Tatkin, Nelson, Mueller, Lundgren, and Holmgren. The team prac- ticed every night at Phalen from about three to six o'clock. After practicing for about two weeks the lineup looked about as follows: Hobbins and Blad, catchers, Olson and Freeman, pitchers, Sandifer, VVardrum, Tatkin and Hamrin, infieldersg and Green, Abelovitz, and Engelking, outfielders. All these men are backed by good reserve players who are sure to see service before the end of the season. We are hoping for a fair average for the team as the result of our season's work.

The Girls' Athletic Association Qqjlf HE first meeting of the Girls' Athletic Association was held on Tuesday, September 23, for the purpose of electing officers. The oHicials elected were: Olive Yeager, president, Mildred Beebe, secretary, and Nora 'J ua' Davidson, treasurer. As there was no gymnasium in which the girls could carry out their regular schedule which they had formed last spring, it was decided to hold hikes every Friday until the games started. The hikes had as their destinations Happy Hollow, Gladstone, and Battle Creek. As long as the weather permitted it, kittenball was played every Tuesday. ltliss Moreland asked the officers of the Girls, Athletic Association if they wanted to put on a stunt in the Assembly during Health week. About twenty uniformed girls under the supervision of Miss Hain, took part in this assembly, cheerfully going through exercises dictated by a voice which emanated from a vie- trola 05 stage. During the examination week two parties were held: a skiing party on Monday and a skating party on Wednesday. Both parties took place at Phalen. After the skating party, the girls returned to school where a light lunch was served. The Girls' Athletic Association has accomplished at least one thing this year, and that is the adoption of a constitution. A committee consisting of members of the girls' athletic associations from Cen- tral, Mechanics and Johnson has been at work trying to form a uniform point system in all the schools. At the last meeting of the Girls' Athletic Association this point system was read and accepted by the Johnson girls. This report will have to be brought back to the general committee which will revise it if any changes are suggested by the individual organizations. If Mechanics and Central are in favor of it also, it will be used by all the girls' athletic associations in the city. The girls will start in with track as soon as the new gymnasium is ready. After that indoor baseball will be taken up. As is the custom, a tennis tournament will be held this spring, and Olive Yeager will have to defend the championship which has been hers for two years. If the new point system comes into effect, it will be a little harder to earn a JU than formerly. One thousand points must be earned before a J will be given. However, there are several ways to earn points so that every girl has a chance to get this desired symbol before she graduates.
