POWERS, our class adviser, deserves much praise, not only for his labors in aiding the class of 1928 to become a success, but also for the Hne example he has set as a gentleman of character and scholarly attain- ment. During our careers as students at Johnson High School, we have come to re- gard him as a true friend and counselor, as such he will be remembered by every member of the Senior class. i The Maroon, therefore, wishes to express in some measure the appreciation and affection which his ward, the class of 1928, feels is due him.

They are. by the grace of inscrutable destiny, the last of the irresponsible, irrespressible host that claim the glory of having been Johnson frosh. They came in Septemf ber, 1924-. Since that historic date, the fates and Pa Ferguson have decreed a three year course of study for all entrants. No longer may son or daughter of the Arlington Hills hope ever to be a freshman here. To think that the last of these erstwhile verdant freshies is now passing out of the picture, brings a tear of ecstatic sorrow to the northwestern corner of every Johnsonian eye. The seniors, completing their Odyssey, have left their deeds behind them in a mighty panorama of campusville achievement. They put on the Christmas Assembly without a single casualty, they pulled off the Senior Vodvil without shedding a drop of the faculty's blood, they went over big in the Senior-Junior playg they got across great in the Operettag in the P. T. A. style show, they staged a whole row of knock- outs. Their other significant and worthy accomplishments are far too many to re- count here, and besides most of the following pages have been reserved for that very purpose. Amen.

In addition to the high standards of the scholarship they have attained, both have performed great services in extra-curricular activities. THE LIBERTY HONORS The Liberty Honor is awarded each year to one girl and one boy of the Senior Class who have shown conspicuous usefulness in the general life of the school. The honor is judged on a basis of the character and influence contributed by these stu- dents as citizens of the school community. This year the students selected for this honor were Nina Anderson and John Herberg. LIBERAL ARTS HONORS The Liberal Arts Honor, established by the 1925 Maroon, is awarded to seniors who have excelled in the liberal arts during their high school careers. This year pins symbolic of this honor were presented to Helen Swanson and Karl Linde- roth for Art, to Martha Wiberg and Anthony Nep for Music, and to Dora Brun- son and Selburn Peterson for Drama.

Here they were welcomed by their superiors, the upper classmen, as wise foolsi' or, more commonly, merely as sophs. In those days of their immaturity and insignificance, the two main events of their school life were the election of offi- cers and a class party. A year passes and lo! They cast aside the undigniiied role of Usophsl' and as- sumed the lordly air of Juniors, their ship well ballasted speeding on its voyage, with fair winds pufling every sail. Now the plans for the Junior Senior Prom are beginning to engross their thoughts, without a doubt this greatest social function of the year will be a unique achievement in the hands of a crew possessed with the brains, the initiative, and the executive ability of the class of '29, Page 35 MAROON SOPHOMOJRE CLASS DONALD MOE - ELMER BJORKLUND - LINNIA OBERG - HELENE ANDERSON Miss SLINEY - - There lies the Portg the Vessel pujfs her sailg There gloom the dark broad seas.

BIORELAND STAGE FORCE, Stage lllanager - Stage Artist Master Electrician Associate Electrician - Assistants Master Carpenter - Carpenters Master of Properties Assistants Business lllanager - Faculty Director The Objectives of the stage force are better staging and entertainments for the School. In Order to accomplish this, Miss Moreland, several years ago, organ- ized tlie boys interested in stage work into a regular class for which a half credit a term was allowed. Great progress toward artistic Staging has been made, and the quality of the work is Sllown by the fact that pictures Of two sets were pub- lished in The Theater during the past year. Page 40 MAROON Scene from the The Purple Dream 1F UND PLAYS DRAMATIC and musical entertainment was given in the school auditorium for the benefit of the school, Friday evening, October 28, 1927. The major features were two plays- Forty Miles an Hour, and The Purple Dream, both one act plays given by Miss Morton's ex- pression classes. THE PURPLE DREAM The Purple Dream is a delightful fantasy written by Donald L. Breed in which the maid, Mary Ellen, takes the leading role. Her mistresses are very harsh with her when she commits one of her incxcusablc errors-such as emptying loaf sugar into the guest's lap. Mary Ellen has delightful dreams. The particular dream presented in the play is her purple dream. In it she is the princess of Patagonia who has been forced to become a maid because the king is in financial straits. The Dream Sir George comes and at first sight falls in love with Mary Ellen, as is to be expected in any dream. Two telegrams arrive--one for the Princess which tells of the dis- covery of gold in the Patagonian mountains, and the other bringing news of the failure of the stock of the Carver-Blythes. The Princess is very kind and consents to accept Mrs. Carver-Blythe as laundress, and Ysobel as assistant cook. But all bubbles must burst. Mary Ellen's were no exception and burst with a bang. She awoke to find not thc Sir George of her dreams, nor a royal robe and sceptre, but a Sir George unattractive and elderly, two haughty and unappreciative Inistresses, and herself only a servant girl, after all.

It is an amusing comedy depicting a scene in a modern home. As the curtain rises Mr. and Mrs. Radley are discovered in great anxiety, Mr. Radley pacing hack and forth and watching the window, and Blrs. Radley sighing and clasping her hands. Peggy. the reckless and erroneous daughter, is hours late again. Judge Peabody, an understanding sort of man, and Grandma Radley, the philosopher, are also present. Judge Peabody has often played golf with Mr. Radley and tries to ease the strain by discussing the recent golf score or by telling of his experiences in court. He relates an incident of a pretty, lovable, young girl whom he had fined for speeding,-forty miles an hour. Mr. Radley declares that if a daughter of his should break laws of any kind he would disown her immediately. The mother, however, remonstrates. She feels that some- times very lovable people have been arrested for speeding. VVhy even Peggy mightw When Peggy finally arrives, flustered and nervous, the Judge recognizes her as the irl whom he had arrested that morning. After much embarrassment and beat- 5-T 21 ing-about-the-bush, the affair is straightened out. The father's lack of understand- ing is greatly outweighed by the enormity of his love.

One Christmas Eve an old woman, hungry and cold, comes to the hut of Holger and Steen just as they are preparing to go to the cathedral with Bertel on this night of nights. Holger, whose conscience will not allow him to leave the old woman alone, remains at home with her. Then the interior of the cathedral appears before them as in a dream. Holger watches the great of the earth giving their gifts. The chimes remain silent until Holger timidly presents l1is few pennies. Lo, an angel appears saying, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these, ye have done it unto Me. The beauty and solemnity of the play were enhanced by the chorus behind the scenes singing Gevaert's Sleep of the Child Jesus and Atherton's Eightfold Alleluia with organ accompaniment by Anthony Nep and Marvin Strate. Sadie by Ropartz was another organ selection. The play was directed by Miss Moreland, with Miss Nelson in charge of the music.

HUROUGHLY successful and whole-heartedly appreciated, the opera, Pied Piper of Hamelin, given by the music department of Johnson High School, was proclaimed a supreme musical production by all who attend- ed. The opera, based on the old German legend, was a great musical achievement on the part of the Glee Clubs and Chorus. The libretto of the Pied Piper of Hamelin was written by Anna J. Beiswergerg the score of the opera was very ingenuously done by the composer, Joseph VV. Clokey. The great possibilities of the composition were appreciated by the music department and advantageous use made of them under the skilled and inspiring di- rection of Miss Nelson. The opera as a whole was a great project for many who took no part on the stage. The sewing classes, under the direction of Miss Bassford, made and fitted the costumes which were designed by Miss Goodell and the art classes. The stage force did excellent work to make the production a success. The opera was the greatest musical event in our history, and, according to Miss Shaw, musical director of the St. Paul high schools, was the most difhcult ever presented in any of the city schools. The wonderful chorus singing, supplemented by the several solos, the delightful stage settings and lighting effects, and the fantastic dancing of Miss Carris pupils, all contributed to the perfect whole.

Believing that her father's money was obtained corruptly, she declares that it is her in- tention to go to work. Sl1e avers that if she is unable to secure a position, she will marry a working man who earns his money honestly. Hollenden, Sam's col- lege chum, having fallen in love with a photo of her, is determined to meet her. Her brother attempts to prevent this, for in Emelineis present state of mind a man wealthy by inheritance would not appeal to her. In spite of a conspiracy to keep him away, Hollenden presents himself at the house and insists on being introduced to Emeline. Hearing Emeline's voice, the two conceal themselves in a grove of palms, from which they overhear a conversation between Emeline and her father, in which she states her views so strongly that Hollenden admits that there is no hope under tl1e existing conditions. Hollenden then persuades an electrician, who is working at the house, to change clothes with him, and masquerades as a laborer. Thus he meets and wins Emeline, but accidentally extinguishes the lights. The situation becomes complicated during a visit of Emelinc to Mrs. Brockway, whose son, Bill, is about to be married to Jennie, who is present at the time. From Emeline's remarks it transpires that she is also interested in Billg Jennie is heartbroken and Bill's parents become angered upon learning this. lVhen Mr. Twimbley appears to take Emeline home, a quarrel ensues between him and Mr. Brockway. VVhen they have gone, Bill returns, but cannot explain because of his promise to Hollenden. '- ' By sheer luck Hollenden manages to turn the lights on again, and when his true identity is revealed, Emeline is very indignant.

The Courier ducks a cocky eyebrow and rises to an- nounce the most important anniversary in the history of journalism. Nat- ural modesty and the lofty ethics of the writing guild forbid making a more sweeping statement. Anyway, a mere list of our achievements would make Montgomery Ward's catalogue look like a sophomore study program. Talking in terms of the great denominator, the Courier has been an undoubted success. At the end of every year, when a balance has been struck, the debits and credits have met, eye to eye. There have been no debts, no appeals for aid, no campaigns for charity, And this in spite of the facts that no attempt has been made to smear glue on the passing shekels. Well, not to be egotistic, just nonchalant, you know, the Courier turns toward the future with the same feeling of confidence and satisfaction that accompanies its survey of the past. It expects to continue to deliver the goods. The spirit that does things possesses and permeates the staff, and not to hand out too much of the dear old whoofle, the Courier feels that it belongs.

Surely that is an appropriate name for this group of students who are united to guard the interests and welfare of the school. A successful reunion of all members since the club was organized in 1922 was held in November. Miss Morton, who is a very capable speaker, spoke on the origin and growth of the organization. Edgar Honebrink was the witty toastmasterg toasts were responded to by Lucille McGuire, the first presidentg Alvin Hilgedick, a graduate of the class 1922g and Roland Lindstrom, president in 1927. The accomplishments of the club this year, which were direct results of the reunion, were the reorganization of the J Club, and the presentation of a display frame to the school.

There are about forty members in this club. The meetings, which are held every other Monday evening, include talks by men of various professions. Track, a much neglected sport at Johnson, was revived by tlIe Hi-Y last year. Besides representing this school-in the inter-high 'sdiool meets, tliewtrack team promoted by this organization took part in meets at Carleton College, Hamline Uni- versity, and the University of Minnesota. Arrangements have been made to continue the support of this teaIII. Among the activities of the year were two matinee dances, one in November and one in February. This club also participated in the Intercity Football Banquet held at the Y. M. C. A. in November for which the Johnson Hi-Y orchestra fur- nished the music.

The purpose of the club is to serve as a connecting link between the Hi-Y clubs of the Junior and Senior high schools. When members graduate from the Cleveland and Harding clubs, they are admitted to the John- son Junior Hi-Y, under the direction of Al Johnson. At present, the president of the Senior club acts as an adviser to the underclassmen. Membership is confined to boys of the sophomore class who will later be elect- ed to the Hi-Y, with which its aims are identical. Page 57 MAROON 1 , STUDENT CCOIUNCCIIL ROBERT INIONICK President Nonism BIICKELSON Secretarz J HE purpose of the Student Council is to promote a spirit of self-govern- ment and responsibility among the students and to influence their general actions in all matters which affect the reputation of Johnson High School. It is composed of one representative from every home room, the editors-in-chief of the Courier, the Gleam, and the Maroon, together with the presi- dents of various clubs acting as honorary members. Another function of the Council is the Friendly Committee, composed of Marcia Score and llohn Herberg, whose duty it is to send cards to absentees - to students who are ill. The honor point system, which Johnson adopted prior to any other school in the city, is directed by Brita Hohnberg. The Council schedules all club meetings and attends to the matter of student notices. In addition, it conducts the Student Court which endeavors to maintain order in the school. Roland Lindstrom presides as udge. Agnes Kiefner, chief of police, authorizes her patrolmen to make arrests for various misdemeanors. A few un- lucky offenders have been sentenced and have served as examples to the more timid students. The steadily diminishing number of cases that are tried shows the general improvement of the school. The faculty advisers are Miss Ostergren and Miss Schuette.

One of the greatest incentives the club has had to spur it on to success has been the interest shown by Mr. Diehl, who is himself a great devotee of the sport. Since no appropriate textbook on the subject was available, the adviser wrote, in collaboration with Tom Vardon, the Diehl-Vardon Golf Man- ual. I A practice net, purchased by the club and installed in the old gymnasium, is used by the members during their free periods, provided they are up to the rc' quired grade in their scholastic work. The less proficient players are instructed by members of last yearis golf team, under Mr. Diehl's supervision. Golf is now recognized as a major sport at Johnson, and J 's are awarded every year. The golf lettermen of last year were, Stanley Clausen, Albert Ben- jamin, Elvin Larsen, Mitchell Ellingson, and George Johnson.

These ambitious young printers are developing a great amount of accuracy and initiative in their work, This year, as there were only three of the old members left in school, new pupils were elected into the club at its first meeting. The club has held regular meetings and has carried on its work in a very efficient manner. A visit to tl1e composing and press rooms of the St. Paul Dispatch and Pioneer Press was one of the high points in the club's activities of the year.

Suppose Odysseus, wandering about for twenty-five years because he had disobeyed the gods, had been able to converse with his wife by radio? Wliat, then would have been the outcome? VVhen the whole world was thrilled with one of the greatest inventions in history, a group of students, interested beyond conception in this new discovery, formed a Radio Club. They immediately set to work building a transmitter, and with this completed, the members began conversing in code with the other high school clubs. This year the boys have been building a seven tube Super-Hetrodyne set using new power tubes and rectifying units. Great credit is due to the members because of their work on the model. Clubs devoted to science are valuable not only for their connection with radio, but because they develop initiative and self-reliance. Knowledge gleaned from re- search inspired by interest in the subject is surely more enduring than that acquired from textbooks.

The club has a schedule of activities, which includes everything a girl has to do or wants to do, based on the winning of honors. When a girl earns a certain number of honors out of a possible eight hundred, which are represented by different colored beads and other Indian symbols, for the various activities, she attains the ranks of Wood Gatherer, Fire Maker, or Torch Bearer.

Li-:lm-in 1'rpg,5-In-gr HE great nation-wide movement of the Parent-Teachers Association has become a strong influence for good, and a bright hope for future progress. In the four years of its history at Johnson, the Association has accom- plished a great deal of lasting value to the school and to the community. Membership has grown from a very small beginning, but is still too small for a school of Jolmson's enrollment. The Association merits the support of every person in the community. The co-operation of the teachers is assured by the fact that they are all members. It was largely through the earnest work of the P. T. A. that the fine, new gymnasium was added to the school in 1926. A service of great value to students has lately been put into practice in the form of a loan fund for needy or unfor- tunate students. The latest progressive step on the part of the P. T. A. has been the formation of a unit of Camp Fire Girls with Miss Smith as guardian. On February 9, the Style Show was sponsored, for which the Nep-Strate Eight Orchestra furnished the music. Page 67 '-40-0 MAROON P. T. A..

We wish to express our appreciation to the P. T. A. for its efforts toward making Jolmson a greater and better high school. Page 68 T7 MAROON FOOTBALL HE call for candidates at the opening of this school year brought out only about twenty-five recruits. This poor turnout made it hard for the coach to pick a team. Ten lettermen returned but most of the rest were green and had never before played football. However, the new ones learned. quickly and with the veterans as a nucleus, Coach Rees built a team. Althougli the Governors lost most of their games. it may be said that in every instance where they lost they were outweighed but seldom outplayed. Their playing was rarely marred by penalties and they always tried as hard as possible to win. Besides being outweighed, the team was handicapped by injuries and by the poor weather at the beginning of the season. hiitehell Ellingson suffered a broken collar bone in the first week of practice. Later, George Steidle received a broken leg while carrying the ball in the Humboldt game. Mike Callahan was also forced to quit football because of illness. There were many minor injuries throughout the season that kept men on the injury list. In spite of all these handicaps, all through the season the team showed a spirit of perseverance and they placed one player, Hamrin, our star kicker, on the all- city team. The members who will receive letters this season are Captain Swedeen, Hues- by. Hamrin, Anderson, Sandifer, Hedberg, Steidle, Kalman, Nelson, ltylander, Kat- zenmeier Hirsch. Gustafson. Peterson. Melander and Shattuck. a f f , 1 Page 69 MAROON GAIN, this ycar at last, Johnson will lose many good players because of graduation. The team will lose Swedeen, captain and center, Katzen- Inaier and Rylander, the regular quarters, and Hirsch, who is also a good man in that position. Steidle, fullback and halfback, will also be lost. Steidle has played four seasons, has been injured in three, and out one because of illness. Almost all of the lineinen will be lost. Hamrin, all city man, Swansick, a guard and tackle, Anderson, also a guard and tackle, Hedberg, a guardg Sandifer, a veteran end and tackle, Kalman, an end, and Nelson, a tackle and fullback, are all going. This will leave the team with few linemen and fewer backfield men. Carl Blad, the student manager, will not be back next fall. Due to all these losses, Coach Recs will have only six veteran players around whom to build a team next season, these men are Captain-elcct Huesby, who has al- ready played two seasonsg Gustafson, a versatile halfback and end, Mc-lander, an end and tackleg Shattuck, a light but fast center, Peterson, a good tackle, and Larson, a fast halfback who has not yet had a chance to show what he can do. If the performance of this group is as good as it promises to be, Rees will have a good start next fall. Johnson has always had the smallest squad of all the city conference schools. Coach Rees has had to do all the coaching alone with not a single assistant, while all the other city high school coaches have assistants. The absence of a field near the school is also felt badly. If these conditions were remedied and the pupils of the school showed as much spirit as the team, both in the matter of coming out for the team and in the actual attendance of the games, Johnson would have a much more successful season next year. Because of a bad financial condition caused by poor support of the team, dropping of football at Johnson was considered during the past winter. There has been much agitation by the older students and by graduates who are sorry to see Johnson ready to quit. Is this because the new students have no school spirit, or is it because of the fact that Johnson is now a senior high school, or is it because of both? In order to try to avert this catastrophe, the subject of better support by graduates, the securing of a practice field near the school, and of an organization of lettermen from both Jolmson and Cleveland high schools must be accomplished. Most of these former Johnson and Cleveland athletes oppose the dropping of foot- ball here. At a meeting it was decided to try to give the team better support. However, it is very hard for most of these men to attend games because they have to leave their work. Since an assistant coach receives no compensation, someone, perhaps a graduate who can give the necessary time, must be found. However, it cannot be expected of graduates to take time away from their work. Therefore, the only other thing to do is for the students and faculty of the school to pitch in and help. It is thc duty of every student of the school to show l1is school spirit. Those of you who are graduating take this spirit with you, those of you who remain, pass it on to new students ncxt fall and remember it yourselves above all. Remember tllat the true spirit of sport is to play thc game-to never Say die. There is no defeat for the unconquerable spirit. lve do not have games to win always. Johnson, I.ct's go! Page 70 MAROON The Ci!-11 Champions BASKETQBALL ITH the opening of the season came doubts as to whether or not John- son would be in the running at all because, while only two members of the 1927 team were left, both Central and Mechanics had veteran ma- chines. However, under the able direction of Coach Rees, our boys sur- prised the city by retaining the ehauipionship. Jack Rees, it seems, can develop winners even without veterans. for in a period of seven years he has Coaohed six City ehanlpionsliip teams. and three that were Twin City ehanlpions. This year's letteruu-n are: Captain Arthur Katzenlnaier, l.eo Huseby, Arthur Swenson, Harry Falk, Clarence Sandifer. Bernhard Sim-land, Robert Melander, Leonard Nelson. l'ldgar Honebrink. Tony Crupi, and student manager George Steidlv. Wvhile Katzemnaier. Falk. Sandifer. Sieland. Nelson, and Honebrink will not be back next year, there will be two all-eity men, Swenson and Huesby, and Melander and Crupi about whom to build :1 team.

Page ff M A R O O N IBSASKIETQBAILIL JOHNSON my WASHINGTON guy The Governors opened the season against the new and inexperienced VVash- ington team, who were unable to stop the Johnson scoring combination or to pene- trate its stone-wall defense. Although the Washington boys fought valiantly, they lost by the score of 544 to 11. Christianson starred for the Presidents, while Swen- son and Falk shot most of the Johnson goals. Captain Katzenmaier and Hucsby composed the defense, while Sandifer had little ditliculty in out-jumping the op- posing center. MECHANICS Q29j JOHNSON Q71 Johnson lost to Mechanics by two points the second game of the conference, playing in an overtime period. The Governors started the game by scoring six points in the first five minutes of play. Hcdman scored the Trainer's lone tally in the first period on a free throw. The half closed with a score of 13 to 8 in Jolm- sonls favor. Huseby opened the second half with a field goal for the Governors after which the Trainers Staged a tally that brought the score to 19 to 15 in their favor. Toward the end of the quarter, Falk dribblcd through the entire Mechanics team to score twice. In the final period, the score alternated until the last minute, when Swenson scored a free throw to tie the score. In the overtime session, Me- lander scored Johnsonis lone tally, while Klabunder scored the field goal and two free throws that won the game for Mechanics. Mechanics seemed to get the breaks, winning the game on free throws, many of which were given them because of the crowd's cheering. JOHNSON qzsp HUM1sO1,n'r my The Governors were favored to win easily over Humboldt in their third game. However, the Indians showed greater power than was expected, and the game was both rough and fast. The end of the first quarter found Humboldt leading 8 to 5. During the next quarter, the Governors rallied, and at the end of the half, .Iohnson Was leading 13 to 12. In the third period, the Indians indulged in a scoring spree, but they were unable to head off Jolmson. The quarter ended with a score of 19 to 16. From that time on, Humboldt trailed Johnson until the end of the game. The Hnal score was 28 to JOHNSON gary CENTRAL C265 The fourth game opened with Central favored to win from Johnson, the black horse of the league. By their victory, Johnson went into a tie with Central for seea ond place in the conference. lVith Sandifer on the sick list, Coach Rees was forced to move Falk to center and place Sieland at forward in Falkis place. The Govern- ors out-played, out-Scored, and out-thought Central from the outset, holding a lead of two points or more from the first few minutes to the end. The passing attack of Central did very little damage against the work of Katzenmaier and Huseby, the Governor guards. Katzenmaier and Sieland stood out in the Hrst period, these two diminutive players collecting six baskets while the Central team made five. In the second half, Swenson, Falk, and Sieland came back Strong with a passing attack which rushed five more baskets through the Central squad, bewildering them by the fierce attack. Page 72 MAROON BASISIETZBALL JOHNSON 4155 HARDING Qlifj Johnson won second place in the conference and a chance to take part in the play-off by defeating Harding. At the start, Falk and Swenson teamed for five fast baskets while the Presidents made none, and the first period ended with the score 21 to 2 in favor of Johnson. The Harding team battled valiantly, but it was unable to stop the Governors' Offense. JOHNSON gasp HUMBOLDT QIQD As their first opponent in the play-off, the Governors met the Indians, who were out to win and were all set for the fight. It appeared that Johnson would win an easy victory when the first quarter ended with the score 9 to 3 and the half with the score 16 to 5, but in tl1e third quarter the Indians went out for some sealps and gave the Johnson guards plenty of trouble. The period ended with Johnson still on top, 21 to 17. The game was very rough and Sandifer was taken out on fouls, Falk was shifted to center and Sieland was given Falkls place. YVith tl1e start of the final period, the teaming of Falk, Swenson, and Sieland resulted in the rolling up of fifteen points for the governors while Humboldt made two. JOHNSON my MECHANICS my The Trainers opened the fray by getting five points while the Governors were scoreless, but before the first quarter ended, Johnson netted three points, and in the beginning of the second, tied the score. In the middle of the last period, Me- chanics again forged ahead, after trailing Johnson all through the third period. Huseby then caged a field goal to take the lead, which was in turn taken from the Governors in the last minute of play by the trainer captain. Huseby again re- talied by scoring a free throw that tied the score. Just as it looked as though an overtime period would be necessary, Swenson played a shot from the middle of the floor, winning the city championship just before the timeris gun. Pugc 73 MAROON SWIMMING ECAUSE there were no lettermen back, the outlook for the swimming team's success was not favorable at the opening of the past season. In spite of the fact that all of the men were new, Coach Bergh whipped together a team that took third place in the conference swimming meets and second place in water polo, missing the championship by only one goal. Only a few members of the team will be lost thru graduation, and consequent- ly Mr. Bergh has good prospects for a championship next year.

Page 74 MAROON HCOCCIKIEY UR hockey season opened with only three lettermen, Captain Calahan, Holt, and Pearson back. In spite of the fact that most of the candi- dates were new men, Coach Hall assembled a good team. The boys went into their first game with very little practice, and they were handicapped by this same condition throughout the whole season. In the last games, they were held up by the loss of Kalman and Pearson. The attendance at this year's galnes was much better than it has been for many years. However, the support of the team can still be improved, even when its prospects are favorable. Although the team won only one game, it showed up very well, there were many close games, and the opposing teams were forced to work for their victories. The players who will receive letters this term will be: Captain Mike Calahan, wing, Mitchell Ellingson, a wing, who is also .lohnsonis only all-city man, YValter Gersmeyer, wing, Harold Holt, defense, Carl Blad, also a defense man, Ray- mond Ahlstrom, guard, Albert Benjamin, wing, James Kalman, guard, Ralph Pearson, wing and center, and Robert VVylie, student manager. Prospects for hockey next term are very good. The players who will be back next season are Ellingson, whose worth has already been demonstrated, Ahlstrom, a good goal-guard, Gersmeyer, who is a wing and one of Jol1nson's best men the past season, and Harry Falk, who promises to be another good player. Page 75 MAROO N lHlUCClKlEY MECHANICS Q25 JOHNSON Q15 The line-up for Johnsonls first game was: Kalman, guard, Holt and Blad de- fenseg Gcrsmeyer and Calahan, wings, and Pearson, center. With very little practice, the team went Out to surprise Mechanics, their first opponents. The feature of tl1e first period was the fast skating of our forwards and the defense of our back-ice men. The only goal of the period was an unassisted one by Blad. The second period marked a great offensive by Mechanics, who time after time broke through the Johnson defense, only to be stopped by goalie Kahnan. Towards the end of the period, the Trainer captain managed to put one shot in the net. Just before the end of the game, one of the Opposing wings placed the shot that won the game for the Trainers. JOHNSON Q25 CENTRAL Q15 VVith the game slowed by soft ice, the first period ended without a score by either team. Central started the scoring right after the face-off in the second period with one goal. Gersmeyer evened the score for Jolmson, and the period ended in a tie, which made an overtime period necessary. Central threatened several times, but were always stopped by the defense or by the goalie. Calahan saved the game when he skated up to send the puck sailing into the net for the needed point. HUMBOLDT Q65 JOHNSON Q05 Johnson's lineup was: Kalman, guard, Holt and Ellingson, wings, Nelson and Blad, defenseg and Calahan, center. These changes were made because of the loss of Pearson by illness and Gersmeyer by ineligibility. Humboldt played a wonderful offensive game, their forwards being in top- noteh form. Kalman stopped many shots and although the Governors did their best, they were overwhelmed. MECHANICS Q75 JOHNsON Q05 The line-up for Jolmson: Calahan center, Ellingson and Gersmeyer, wings, Nelson and Blad, defense, and Kalman, guard. The Maroon team played the Trainers off their feet the first half of the initial period, but when Calahan was sent to the penalty box, the hlechanics captain, play- ing the greatest game of his career, put in five goals. During the second period, the Trainers tallied twice. CENTRAL Q15 JOHNSON Q05 Both teams played good hockey, the regular period ending with neither team having scored. The deadlock was broken by Central in an overtime period when Ahlstrom was caught momentarily out of place. HUMBOLDT Q55 JOHNSON Q15 The Hrst period was a desperate battle, neither side scoring. All of Humboldt's scores came in the second period when Calahan and Blad were in the penalty box. The Maroon's point was made by Calahan near the close of the game. Page 76 MAROON it tswim A RACK, our most neglected sport, has been revived at Johnson. Last year the Hi-Y club, under the direction of Mr. Powers and Al. Johnson, under- took the responsibility of sponsoring a track team. A large number of athletes responded to the call for candidates and, encouraged by their previous success, the team expects to make a good showing this year. Due to the fact that the conference meets come very late in the spring, we are unable to cover them. However, the probable line-up for the team will be. 100 yard dash 220 yard dash Joseph Seidle Orville Lee Mitchell Ellingsen Russel Larson Russel Larson Joseph Seidle 4140 yard dash William Rutherford Mitchell Ellingsen 880 yard dash Ruben Gustafson W milf 'ff '.11 Mitchell Eliingsen Joseph Seidle Robert Anderson Orville Lee Mitchell Ellingsen Broad jump Robert Anderson Student manager-Sherril Anderson Page 77 MAROON J's FOOTBALL Arthur Swedeen, Captain Leo Huesby David Hamrin Edwin Anderson Clarence Sandifer Robert Hedberg George Steidle James Kalmen Carl Blad, Siuden Harry Nelson Milton Rylander Arthur Katzenmuier Bernard Hirsch Ruben Gustafson Clarence Peterson Robert Melander Harold Shattuck t Manager BASKET-BALL Arthur Katzenmaier, Captain Leo Huesby Arthur Swenson Harry Falk Clarence Sandifer George Bernhard Sieland Robert Melander Leonard Nelson Edgar Honebrink Tony Crupi Steidle, Student Manager HOCKEY Michael Calahan, Captain Mitchell Ellingson VValter Gersmeyer Harold Holt Carl Blad Raymond Ahlstrom Albert Benjamin James Kalmen Ralph Pearson Robert Wylie, Student manager GIRLS' ATHLETICS Frances Rooch Florence Rooeh Marjorie Schilla Ruth Friberg Vernice Peterson Alice Stone Virginia Clayton Agnes Kiefner Page 78 Caroline Dostal Dorothy Douglas Elizabeth Dostal Nina Anderson Jane Dieter Mardell Boldt Elizabeth Forseth Helen Kreutz MAROON G.

NINA ANDERSON - - Prgsidgnf VIRGINIA CLAYTON 1 , . - Vzce-Presrdents BIARDELL BOLDI' HELEN KRElfTZ - - Secretary HELEN THEES - Treasurer HE purpose of the Girls' Athletic Association is to promote interest in gymnastics and outdoor sports as a means of recreation and of securing physical development and eomradeship for its members. A member's main object is to obtain enough points in tlIe various sports to entitle her to be a wearer of a .l.', This year the required number of points has been changed from 1000 to 750. This change has been made because there are now only three instead of four years in which a girl can work for l1er letter. The major sports are volley-ball, basket-ball, track, and kittenball. A hundred points are given to every girl who makes her class team in any of these sports. Individual points may be earned in skating, skiing, hiking, tennis, golf, and swimming. Last fall the girls decided they wanted pins to signify their membership in the Girls' Athletic Association. The pins were ordered from Josten of Owatonna. They are white gold witlI a maroon background. They bear the letters G. A. A. and J. Those who desired could also order guards which are white gold in the shape of an arrow bearing number of the year of the girl's graduation. Page 79 MAROON G. A. A. Girls, Athletics at Jol1nson are now rolling along in high. Tl1ree of our jeunes fillesu threw in the clutch, early last fall, when June Hoelzle, Elizabeth Eorseth and Marjorie Schilla, in a crowded swimming class, made the Tanklan at the 'KY.', VVith a program the most ambitious ever, due to several factors, of which the first two or three are the energy, ability, and enthusiasm of Miss Esther Hain, an- other a new gym, and another an added list of sports, the athletic type of girl began to do her stuff. A volleyfball tournament opened the season. Teams were chosen from each of the classes, each played all tl1e others, winner played winner, and the war waxed wild. Out of the competition of October 27 the first senior team emerged victorious from a game with the sophomores. A week later the Juniors swiped a tilt from the second seniors. On went the gruelling struggle and teams fell thick and fast. Eliminations placed the final in the second week 'of November and brought face to face a sophomore and a junior team. The persistent third year scrappers annexed that battle and the title. And no wonder! Their lineup was all celebrities. It reads like a page from VVho's Wl1o. Listen-Mildred Nueves, Mardell Boldt, Ber- nice Briggs, Genevieve Holcomb, Winifred Jensen, Elizabeth Forseth, Elizabeth Strenn, Vernice Peterson, and Ruth Ackerson. In February and March, days and days were given over to practice for a track meet to be held in April. Splendid young models of the new womanhood stepped forward to toe the line and be organized into track teams. And then what they had to do was plenty. First there was a caper called the standing broad jump, which they had to come through still on their heels. Then followed the running broad jump, which is something like the first, only more so. Third came the hop, step and jump, which sounds funny, but isnlt bad to look at. The standing high jump is terrible, but the running high jump outruns the imagination. The overhead basket-ball throw came next, and the closing ceremony was called the fifty yard dash. Miss Hain set a certain degree of excellence for each maid to reach, and promised the really good ones a place on the track team, an honor which nets each Atalanta a hundred points towards her .l.', This process is known as a tryout and its minimum requirements are three events. Tennis is only another little thing the young ladies can do and do well. The G. A. A. sponsors, every spring, a tennis tournament, which is open to all John- soniennes. Like tl1e other activities, it has organization, classification, elimination, and a title. These feminine followers of the great god Sport frankly admit that they have a greater problem than the winning of medals, letters, crowns, titles and what not. That problem is, they say, to find the right and proper expression of their gratitude to Miss Hain. They have not words enough, phrases sufficiently cogent, or terms at all fitting to sound the depths of their feeling. But, as the modern girl does noth- ing by halves, there is little doubt that they will carry on, successfully, two stren- uous activities: athletics, as embodied in basket-ball, volley-ball, swimming, skating, hiking, tennis and track, and the exhibition, through it all, of their heartfelt ap- preciation of their instructor. Girls' athletics is now solidly established at Johnson. Its future is the future of the soon to be dominant sex-no one knows where they will stop. It is safe to say these vigorous creatures will never cease to be feminine, and that their added energy will make them no less handy with the rolling pin, whether they swing it with one hand or two.
