Dr. Little, our kindly and sympa- thetic principal since 1933, heads a faculty of forty-six teachers and a student body of one thousand four hundred thirty-seven young people. This large group requires his constant interest and thought in planning to meet their many needs. Both faculty and students like and admire him for his genial humor, patience, and under- standing of their problem. Miss Moore is our dean of girls and adviser of the Horizon Club. She man- ages the student loan fund, helps pupils in all sorts of difficulties, and is a constant aid and guide to all who need her. Because of her strict disci- pline, good humor, inspiration, encour- agement, and guidance, she is one yy-13? will be remembered gratefully by all who have known her. Mr. Diehl, our assistant principal, takes care of all the financial matters of the school. He is also the Guidance Director and faculty adviser for the Iohnson chapters of the Hi-Y. When not busy behind his desk, he may be seen smiling pleasantly while patrol- ling the cafeteria and halls. Seven mf, w 1 '.

The English department is the rnost completely organized in our school. It is also, probably, the most important because six terms of English are compulsory for graduation. This year a simplified English I was given for students, who, judging by their grades in the entrance test, are weak in mechanics: and an easier English V, for those who do not intend to go to college. Mrs. Gordon is chairman of the department. The Athletic Board meets about once a month and discusses athletic problems such as the eligibility of players and methods of carrying out different school projects. The receipts fiom' paying sports are caretully budgeted so as to cover the expenses ,cffqthe non-paying sports. The board also awards letters to all athletic students who have done outstanding work in their particular fields. Dr. Little is'chail'man of the board.

Mr. Randolph, Mr. Iohnson, Mr. Bergh, Dr. Little ichairmanl Miss Alexander Miss Smith Miss Gilkey mmf, new me gaze, WW. one Miss Smith, Teacher Clerk and Home Visitor, manages the administrative details of the main office. She is pleasant and friendly, but very firm in the matter of senior credits or irregularities of any sort. Her able assistant, Miss Alexander, has charge of the attendance records and acts as general clerk. They are assisted by a group of girls who do many routine office tasks, such as filing, typing, cutting stencils, mimeographing, and checking skipper slips. Besides these activities the girls notify parents of absentees, answer the telephone, take care of the assembly fund, make out absence lists, and distribute mail. Other girls work in Mr. Diehl's office. The training they receive is more along lines of banking and filing: some keep records for the school bank fwhich handles the money for over sixty-five organizationsl: others do the statistical work and filing for the guidance department of the school. The training received by pupils in both offices is extremely valuable, and the girls also receive a half credit for the work. Our school nurse, Miss Gilkey, spends five half-days a week in checking up on students who have been ill. We must also pay her a visit if we are having trouble with our eyesight or hearing. It is for her kindness and helpful advice that we will remember her gratefully. From left to right: Shirley Berg, Miss Smith, Dorothy Gilst ad, Betty M. Nelson.

We have been glad to act as your class advisers and will cherish the memories of friendships we have made among you. If we could wish for you one thing more than any other, it would be contentment in work, the ability to do something well, and the op- portunity to do it. + The night of lune twelfth marked the end of the high school career for many Iohnson students, and a half-way mark in the education of others: that was the date of Commencement. Following a custom established several years ago, the girls wore semi-formal pastels and the boys, dark suit coats and white trousers. The band played a march, the choir sang once again, and members of the public speaking classes spoke on subjects chosen for their interest to parents and friends. After a few remarks by Mr. Axel Peterson and Superinten- dent Amidon, the important moment arrived -the class marched up onto the platform to receive diplomas. And then Iohnson High School became only a memory. In memory of Hilbert Sorenson of the Class of 1940, who died last summer.

In each case, the award is made, not merely for something done during the senior year, but for continued ex- cellence during the three years of attendance at Iohnson. The highest scholastic honors were won by Verna Renstrom, Valedictorian, and Hazel Moren, Salutatorian. Verna also received the D.A.R. good citizen- ship award for service, dependability, and leadership, as well as high grades. Next in importance is the Liberty Honor, which is decided by a vote of seniors and faculty. The outstanding boy and girl so chosen were Doris Linell and Walter Anderson, to the latter of whom was given the Picket Fence for service to the school. The little gold pins, known as the Liberal Arts awards, are proudly worn by the boy and girl who, in the opinion of the teacher in each department of the arts, has done the best work in that field. This year there has been some difficulty in making a choice, both in dramatics and in music. Mr. Ahlberg made the award to only one student in dramatics, Delores Bredahl. Miss Nelson felt unable to choose one boy out of a group of four, or one girl from two, all of whom deserved the honor. And so there are six who are honored in music: Doris Linell, Ruth Zelle, Stanley Gerber, Art Patet, Maurice Valine, and Robert Voss. Only in art have the usual two pins been won: Dorothy Erickson and Edward Oslund received them. The Bausch and Lomb science award was earned this year by Glenn Wicklund, who has made an unusually fine record in five sciences. Kenneth Holmgren, who has set a remarkable athletic record in six sports, received the Courier Sports Award. The Picket scholarship will not be announced until later. To all these winners go congratulations and the hope that they may con- tinue to set records as they have done here. Thirty-one FIRST SENIORS .loltnsmn Aurelius, I. I I2lt'liIlt'l', Il. llimrca.

In honor of one of their most outstanding members, Roger Ahl- man, a Roger Ahlman Day was proclaimed by Iohnson High School. Ribbons 1 were sold on that day to send Roger to the A.A.U.

It is the largest class in the history of the school: and with Miss Chapin and Mr. Koch as advisers, it is sure to be a pace-setter. I Thirty-sev ty-eight lem Bm? September 7: School started! What a day. Fun to see all the kids. Maybe school is going to be good this year, huh? September 21: Several new teachers. Miss Beckman, a new typing one, offers to show her homeroom the rudiments of typing. Never a dull moment. October 5: Der, die, das! German club mobilized for action, and their first meeting was held with Greg Decker officiating. October 24: Cheer leader assembly, and guess who led the cheering? None other than three Johnson misses-Dorothy Pepin, Charlotte Lindquist, and Phyllis Peterson. Hope they are permanent. November ll: No school today-Jane Cunnien's birthday: or did some countries stop fight- ing some others? November 28: Legend of Nacoochee put on by the music classes. ,Bernice Forseen as Nacoochee, and Stanley Gerber as her father, helped to make it oneiof the leading events this year. Oh, to be able to sing! '. Q a December 8: Junior class rollerskating party at Oxford rink. 'Tis being' said that the class intends to put on the Prom free. Hurrah! Q December 22: Last day of school, and a merry one too. Christmas play, When the Chimes Rang, given, and it was very fitting. Refreshed our memories on the true meaning of Christmas. December 27: The fencing club had its first series of lessons by Ferdinand Vebel. Methinks it would be a jolly club to get into. January 10: Johnson pucksters played their first game against Humboldt, and the score came to an undecisive tie, l-1. January 25: The long-awaited Penguin Hop finally materialized. It was put on by the Hi-Y and Girl Reserves. A goodly number of persons came and danced to Bill Bell's orchestra. Loads of fun. January 17: Blow, bugle, blow. Roger Ahlman broke the National Interscholastic Backstroke record at the University. We are right proud of him! February 2: Johnson Governors met Marshall in a basketball tilt tonight. It was Ralph Pariana's last game, and it was a bitter disappointment that we should be nosed out by two points. Ralph was a grand player and one that will not be forgotten for a long time. February 27: The Maroon sponsored a Hill Billy assembly today. A boys' ballet was one of the main events-and a funny one, too. It was a lot of fun and a good many laughs were provided. March 3: March has come in like a lamb, ani it seems hard to think that spring is not de- finitely here: but my better sense tells me that we are still in for some more cold weather. fNote, later. We were!! March 28: Today is Roger Ahlman Ribbon Day. Roger is to be sent to the A.A.U. meet in a thrilling day for everyone, in the world. was a huge success. Wally came in first for the girls. New York. fWe'll let you ask Rog what A.A.U. means.J It is and the whole school backs Rog and wishes him all the luck March 29: The Hillbilly Stampede! Need we say any more? It Pates received a radio for his costume, and lOCI1'1 COPe1CII'1d April l: I felt like a telephone operator today. We had a series of hearing tests, and each one of us was presented with some ear phones-only temporarily, though. I hope I fooled them into thinking that I can hear. . April 10: I wandered aimlessly past the trophy case today when something bright and shiny caught my eye. Fresh thing! It turned out to be the newly acquired swimming cup. Johnson was city champ for three consecutive years, and the cup became a permanent possession. Yea, team! April 22: Today they started those Mantoux tests. Not a person fainted, and was I dis- appointed. I'm afraid the clinging vine type of girls is passed. Oh well. April 26: The Hi-Y Spring Frolic! Rumors have been flying fast and furious that it's going to be ultra ultra. It was held at the Weequah Canoe Club and everybody had a super swell time. April 27: Cheerio! The book's going to press, so I'm afraid that this will have to go along with it. It's been lots of fun, and we'll be seeing you next year. So long, THE 1940 MAROON STAFF. May: P. S. The annual Junior Senior Prom was held at the Lowry Hotel. It was one that never, never will be forgotten by both the Juniors and Seniors. It marked a fitting end to another school. 'Bye Now! M.

Me mcwkew, ww fzecapfmq wmefhmq new We believe in service for others, in health of mind and body to fit us for better service, and world-wide friendship. With this purpose in mind, a small group interested in the work of the American Iunior Red Cross organ- ized a Red Cross Council in Iohnson High School. As their first project, the council, with the help of the Spectrum Club, made favors to place on the patients' trays in the Veterans' Hospital: and during the spring term, small groups made a survey of a few hospitals in St. Paul, noting the needs of patients. To promote a spirit of self-government among students and to promote the general welfare of the school is the main purpose of the Student Council. The council provides ink for the school: funds are raised for the organ- ization through the sale of I pins. The Friendship Committee and the point system include another part of the Student Council's work. This year the council has cooperatedvmore than ever with the P.-T. A. in the membership drive, by submitting a list of necessary improvements for the school, and by acting as hosts and hostesses to the fathers and mothers at the Back to School Night sponsored by the P.-T. A. Doris Berlin, Warren Olson, Cherry Cedarleat, and Walter Anderson were delegates to the annual Student Council Convention, which was held at Hastings, September 29-SO.

Furthermore, it meets at eight o'clock in the morning, another unique feature. To be a member, a girl must have a job or be looking for one. There are no dues: the girls raise money by a popcorn ball sale. On the last day of school, the organization gave a Parisian lunch at the Curtis Hotel: the alumnae were invited. The artistic abilities of Iohnson students are revealed in the work done by the Spectrum Club. The posters and advertisements they make for various organizations and school activities add color and gayety to the bulletin boards. At one of their meetings Virginia Hoffstrom, daughter of Hawf and Hawf, entertained them with her drawings. The Spectrum Club also cooperated with the lunior Red Cross Council in making favors for the Veterans' Hospital. Not the least important task done by some of the members was the art work for the Maroon. 4 . , I v I I . X A Lf41,f t- Pill '- AN- 'V ' GIRLS' CLUB lieu' mic: G. Testa, M.

This year, at Christmas the girls dressed dolls for poor children and sang carols at the County Farm: they also made scrapbooks and sent greetings to children in hospitals. And the name Girls' Club connotes the party given each semester to welcome incoming sophomore girls to Iohnson. This hospitable gesture on the part of members is appreciated by the new girls. There are no dues: the girls 'aise money by holding a Kangaroo Court. This year they sold Iohnson Sports 'Slick Clacks. Some of the meetings are for educational purposes. Miss Haigh told the girls about her trip to Sweden, and Mrs. Hawkins talked on Cleanliness for -lealth. Whether a meeting is a social or educational one makes no difference: t is always interesting.

The stage force, a group appointed by Mr. Ahlberg, does these and many other important duties connected with dramatic presentations, as Well as setting the stage for as- semblies. The members of the class meet one period each day: they learn make-up, build sets, and make costumes for the Iunior-Senior Play. The members of the Masquers Club of Iohnson are students from ex- pression classes who show dramatic ability. Mr. Ahlberg submits the names of eligible students, and then these may be voted into the club by the members. Meetings are held the first and third Thursday of each month. Many inter- esting programs, consisting of pantomimes and skits, were given at the meet- ings this year. The club has an annual theater party and Variety Show. At the Variety Show, students imitate movie stars and other prominent people. Hilarity and laughter reign throughout the whole performance.

Nelson, has participated in numerous programs throughout the school year. Music for the meeting of the M.E.A. Convention in Minneapolis was furnished by a two-hundred-fifty-voice choir, in which Johnson Choir members took part. The choir provided beautiful music for the Christmas play, Why the Chimes Hang, and a few of the members caroled through the halls the day before Christmas vacation: the choir sang at the Central Presbyterian Church for the Young Peoples' Palm Sunday service and at the Gustavus Adolphus Lutheran Church on April 7: it also took part in the commencement exercises. The Legend of Nacoochee, the main performance of the Johnson High School choir, brings to mind painted faces, long braided hair, and weird-looking headdresses on Indian maidens and princes singing beautiful Indian songs. This Cantata, held November 28 and 29, proved very successful. The main soloists for the Cantata were Bernice Forseen, Nacoochee: Dan Ahrens, Sautee: and Stanley Gerber, the Indian chief. The choir spent many hours preparing for both the state and national contests. This was the first time the choir had entered the National Contest, which is known as the National Vocal Grand Orchestra Association, Legion 2, and was held May 16-18 in St. Paul. Iohnson also sent four soloists to this contest. ?, O Forty-five ,pe og, MW- 2,4 ' ' J-..,,4f L L ,,., 9---Z A ' GERMAN CLUB J7' .wif V' Wigs .wt dt Q, X 3 S -'3 r'-ga? r .Forty-six H0117 one: M, Meaderg P, Decker, Vive Pres.: R.

Membership, limited to students who have taken at least one term oi German at Iohnson, is made enjoyable by a wide variety of games, songs. skits, and, we mustn't forget, refreshments! Native speakers of Germany are sometimes included on the program: this tests the students' understanding of the language. Last fall, Mr. Bother, the club's adviser, got the film, Old Heidelberg, from the Eastman Kodak Company: the boys rigged up the projector and showed the film. It pictured school life in Germany, especially in her univer- sities. Everyone had no end of fun at the hayride! The group drove out to Eaton's Ranch in automobiles.

The Latin Club of lohnson High School was organized in 1937 to satisfy a growing demand on the part of pupils in the Latin department for such an organization. The purpose of the club is two-fold: it was organized for both social and cultural benefits. It is the aim of the club to engage all members actively in programs and entertainment. Purely social meetings are held from time to time, in or outside of school. During the past year, a pow-wow, a picnic, and two interesting parties were given. This term the Latin IV class is the nucleus of the club, and programs of historical interest featuring Latin games and Latin dramatizations are given. To be eligible for membership in the club, a pupil must have completed at Ieast one year of Latin. The club has grown steadily, both in size and in inter- est, and at present has a membership of seventy-six. f f 11 x .L Av o ty-eight TYPO QUAD Haut an-0: li. Johnson, Vive Presl- dent 3 M.

For seventeen years this club has prospered under the able direction of Mr. Knowles. One of the favorite activities of the club is visiting printing and engraving plants. On February twenty-first, the Typo-Quad Club went through the St. Paul Dispatch Building as guests of the St. Paul Club of Printing-House Craftsmen. At this time they were shown through the composing and stereotyping rooms. Then they witnessed the final operation of running the paper off the press. The Typo-Quad prints schedules of basketball games and numerous programs and articles for the office and other organizations. All the big shots of Iohnson meet together on the second and last Mon- day of each month, with Mr. Ralston as their adviser. The Rifle Club was organized for the purpose of promoting marksmanship. Any student is eligible, but an absence from three consecutive meetings or shoots dismisses him from the club. The members of the Rifle Club compete in conference contests. In the first round of competition with other schools, our club was undefeated. D. Nt-'lll'2llllL'l', J. Hansen, K. Mon- ALPHA HI-Y A Rau' our: J. Dinwnodio, NV. Ken uedy, T1'l'2lSUI'Pl'Q lll.

As the maximum number of members in a Hi-Y club is twenty-five, it was necessary to form two groups this year. Both clubs meet on alternate Tuesdays at the East District Y.M.C.A. On a few special occasion the Alpha and Beta chapters join together for their meetings. Among the interesting speakers sent by the Central Hi-Y was George Vavoulis, who attended the International Youth Conference in Holland. Walter Pates was sent as a delegate to the Hi-Y Conference in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. At the Beta Chapter meetings, educational topics, such as astronomy and conservation, are presented by speakers or in the form of moving pictures. Helping the needy is a special project of the Alpha Hi-Y. At Christmas the club took donations for a Christmas basket, which included food, clothes, and money for a poor widow and her children. The annual Spring Frolic and a Sweethearts' Banquet tgiven by the Alpha Chapter? and hayrides, parties, and sleighrides add a note of gayety and fun to their activities.

The paper consists of four pages: it includes editorials about school prob- lems, remarks of interest about school life, and rumor concerning students and faculty. These features constitute the interesting reading material which makes the Courier the popular paper that it is. Each year the Courier awards a medal to the school's most outstanding athlete. Various new and interesting changes have been made in the paper this year. Mr. Henry Morgan, the new journalism teacher and technical adviser of the Courier, has added a special feature, Fifteen Years Ago Today. Notes for this column are taken from Courier issues of fifteen years ago. The present editor-in-chief is Deloris Carlson. She succeeded Alice Niss- wandt, who was editor-in-chief during the fall term. The Courier is a member of the National Scholastic Press Association. It. Vziiigliztiiz I. llztlllwrgrg .I lllm-stir: M.

There are over twenty-five hundred chapters in the United States and its possessions and one in Shanghai, China. The first chapter was organized in 19215 Iohnson got its chapter six years later. A member must be a first or second senior or a second junior and must have an average of eighty-five or above. Leadership, character, and service are the final bases of selection. At the monthly meetings, Miss Downing, adviser of the club, tries to arrange so that either scholarship, leadership, character, or service is the topic of discussion. Sometimes the group exchanges meetings with a chapter of some other school. Initiation into the society is an inspiring event: there is a prominent guest speaker at the annual banquet. The National Honor Society creates enthusiasm for scholarship and a desire to render service: it promotes leadership and developes character in students. And have you brought the glass slipper? Bam Stage Door by Edna Ferber was presented as the Iunior-Senior play this year. It is a comedy in three acts involving the experiences of stage girls in a theatrical boarding house in New York. Stage Door is the same play that was given in the movies several years ago, starring Katherine Hepburn and Ginger Rogers. It is one of the most difficult plays ever put on by Iohnson students, and took many hours of rehearsal and preparation. The play was under the very able direction of Mr. Ahlberg.

With it came months of hard but interesting work. The complete staff numbers about seventy and is under the direction of Miss Moosbrugger, Miss Beckman, Mr. Hamilton, and Miss Goodell: it is divided into three staffs. The business staff began work in October. Mr. Hamilton chose Muriel Iohnson as the new business manager, Phil Ewald as the subscription sales manager, and Louise Kranstover, the advertising sales manager. Muriel efficiently handled and accounted for nearly two thousand dollars. Phil and his staff sold more books this year than ever before in the history of the Maroon. Louise, with five assistants, sold more than twenty pages of adver- tising, which were necessary for the financing of the Maroon. Charlotte Lind- quist, in charge of publicity, assisted by Margaret Daniels, was responsible for the publication of two news letters, an assembly program, and the Hill Billy Stampede. Every student is acquainted with a Maroon agent, and it is to these agents that no small amount of credit is due. They sold over eight hundred Maroons, collected fees for sophomore and junior pictures, and gave valuable help in keeping accounts and making reports. Helen Pangal sold more books C491 than anyone else this year. It is to the art staff that we look for the amusing caricatures and drawings placed throughout the book. Donna Olson is the art editor: her helpers are Dorothy Erickson, Edward Oslund, and Myrtle Cournoyer. Miss Goodell ad- vised and directed this staff, so that the art work was the first division of the book to be completed. Miss Moosbrugger and Miss Beckman, the advisers of the literary staff, appointed Ioyce Aronson editor-in-chief and Deloris Peterson, associate editor. They were chosen for their initiative, ability, and leadership. Elinor Gran re- ceived the position of faculty editor: Verna Renstrom, assisted by Dorothy Blomquist, school life editor: Charles Pierson, assisted by Walter Pates, sports editor: Doris Linell, activities editor: and Betty Nelson, senior panels and most of the typing. Every member of the staff has worked hard since last fall collecting money, getting in write-ups, planning page lay-outs, and doing countless other tasks that go into the making of an annual. But with all this work, they have enjoyed it, and those who will be members of the Staff next year look forward to its publication. Four of these juniors Went with Miss Beckman to the State Press Convention at the University of Minnesota, April twelfth, to get ideas and inspiration to start them out on next year's Maroon! gil, ,bp W QL W -M WW wf ff M MM 273' V My mv? an M A! f f1W0,f 0, 'gT ' pci I 5 Loci- St-ii6uQ,cif-IPCEPS io' W-6 Jowj qiflnisvw fo A7 ill fszfzf r U Affffdf' 3 f-iw' 1'-ff' ' llc! fbdfcffj ,'75 A4-M! 746,,,,6E,,w1.1fn4,40tj ,0Qf4g ' A J JAM!! ,Lf-fly ,c,a,p4, ,tdfcyflw-nv., .721-'fffffvv-x?4,fCf'f0'l-17-A4-ji ,MAJ Aga Zag Lau' OUXZCU ,VQZ ,AA-090 ff Y,!,4.,Q0 4,.,.!ynzf'f',,z,fzJ .4--.ZX ff'-'ffffdbqruoyfaa 5 , 'Q- f f-f' J , UQJJWMJOMU 4 L ., . . . - ' 5 0 JN 53 ' ,O,,ho1 ..,.'

The Governor gridders, led by Ioe Wasiluk, left guard who stormed through opposing lines toward All City honors, completed a not too successful season in fourth place of the city conference standings. Although handicapped by injuries and bad weather, the team fought gallantly under the captaincy of Kenneth Holmgren, hard running and kicking halfback. The gridders opened the conference with one of the fastest backfields in the city, but Coach Mal Smiley soon learned that the line was comparatively weak. The inability of the line to hold at times slowed up their drive consider- ably on beautifully executed running plays. The team furnished an ample number of thrills on numerous occasions when Ken Holmgren and Ralph Pariana, halfbacks, would break through the enemies' secondary defense and appear to be in the open, only to be caught from behind by a shoe string tackle which diminished their hopes of victory. Bob Flaherty, Hank Wojcik, Wallace Linnerooth, and Bill Kennedy gained recognition as outstanding men on the field. Next year's team should spell victory all the way with such gridders as Ioe Wasiluk, All City guard, Bill Kennedy, Bob Ross, and Hank Wojcik, all returning to bolster the title hopes of the Governors. I.. Mal Smiley says: Football is a sport requiring spirit, courage, morals, and a good, strong body. Our coaching staff is anxious to see sophomores who are interested in the game come out, so that by the time they are juniors and seniors, they will be familiar with the game and our system. To be champions, the boys and the team as a whole must have a strong will and desire to win. Fifty-five 'ilty-six vqqaaiiallfllwf In Theory In Practice EMM 'Z All Qam f Most of the football games, last season, were played in mud: the chief question each week was merely, How hard will it rain? Will the spectators go home? Many did, during the Mechanics game. After their battle with Mankato, from which they returned victorious by 18-7, the Governors opened their conference schedule with a defeat by Hum- boldt, l2-6 in the Central stadium. The Indians scored first, at the opening of the second period. Five minutes later Iohnson got possession of the ball on Humboldt's 42 yard line: aided by a penalty, Coach Smiley's boys put the ball across in five plays when Ralph Pariana, going around end, passed to Ken Holmgren for the touchdown. The next game found the Governors, true to the old tradition of football, trouncing Mechanics 19-7 in a driving deluge. Literally the game was played in a huge puddle, and scrimmaging was simi- lar to a water polo game. Hank Wojcik scored midway in the second quarter: in the third, Wally Linnerooth scored the final from the eight-yard line. A de- termined and non-superstitious Iohnson team took the field against Harding on that Friday, the thirteenth of October, but they lost a hard fought game 6-0. The Maroons scored after a sustained drive in the third period when Gerald McLaughlin plunged over from the one foot line: Ken Holmgren then broke into the clear late in the game, but Lee caught his ankle to spill him and Iohnson's hopes. Iohnson's next opponent was Central, and the Governors wasted no time in scoring their victory, 19-0. Arvin Gearman blocked a Central punt in the first two minutes of the game, Iohnny Ewald, right tackle, fell on the ball in the end zone and scored. Ken Holmgren recovered a Central fumble to set up the next touchdown, which he scored from the eight-yard line. Wojcik returned Centra1's punt fifty yards and stumbled, but without a tackler. In the final game, champion Washington rolled over Iohnson 20-6. 4 Woofdall Scaaea Iohnson ....... 18 Mankato ........ .......

Iohnson will keep the trophy! The team defeated every school in the city except Cretin. Shortly before that meet, Roger Ahlman had broken a bone in his hand and was not able to swim: however, Iohnson retaliated at the City Meet in the U. of M. pool and beat Cretin in a close finish. Al Andersen, diver, in a perfectly executed one-and-a-half, won the city diving championship. Hed, Olson, and Terry, the medley relay team, also came in first. ln our out-of-town meet, Iohnson competed with Stout College, at Menom- onie, Wisconsin, Ccoach Iohnson's own school, incidentally? and defeated them. In the clash with Mechanic Arts, we took all first places: in the meets with other city teams, we Won a majority of the firsts. It will be a long time before the Iohnson tank team will be forgotten in the City's pools. Fifty-eight SWIMMING TEAM lfuzz one . ll. NX mas, L., Hanson, Alilmzm, A. Andn-rst-11, J.

At only eighteen he has made himself known throughout the United States as the One-Hundred Yard backstroke champion. Starting at the age of six, he has broken record after record and has won over twenty medals. Roger started swimming in 1927: that same year he won the backstroke race in Duluth, under the auspices of the Y.M.C.A. In 1939 he set the new Central pool one-hundred yard backstroke time. Since that time he has broken that record and has acquired the City, State, and Northwest records. The height of his achievements came when he received the National Backstroke Championship as he skimmed over the water and slashed his former time to 59.9 seconds. He holds the city record in the 50, 100, and 220-yard events. Roger Ahlman shows great promise: we all hope that some day we shall see his name on the roster of the Olympic stars.

With plenty of height and speed, the quintet made a favorable impres- sion on the city's basketball courts. Ralph Pariana, last year's All-City guard, continually set the pace for the Iohnson attack, but left in February when he graduated. The team also missed Howard Wicklund's expert ball handling later in the season. The team kept getting stronger and more confident in each successive game, with lack Verby, Vic Frascone, and Floyd Thompson, powerful trio on the front ranks, and Maurice Ferrazzo and Lawrence Lepsche as rock of defense. The Iohnson five gained their greatest victory by defeating Harding, the city champions, in a close and exciting game. Maurice Ferrazzo filled in at guard for Ralph Pariana and played an outstanding game. lack Verby played so dazzling a game that he was placed on the All-City team of the week along with Maurice. Lawrence Lepsche received the same honor for his excellent work in the Monroe game. With Verby, Lepsche, and Thompson back next year, the basketball team will be right on the top striving for the city title. Al Sundberg's advice is this: Learn all the rules of the game. If you dc not win, do not alibi. Play a hard, clean, fair game, and you will nevei regret it. B Qmw After finishing in second place last year in a heartbreaking playoff for the first place, the lohnson basketball team started its conference schedule by defeating Washington 14-11. This score was one of the lowest witnessed by the crowds at the Armory. In the Wilson game, two weeks later, forgetting their wild throws of the previous game with Central, the Iohnson cagers played the basketball that they are capable of playing. In good form Verby, Pariana, and Thompson paced the attack with six points each, defeating Wilson 24-14. When Iohnson defeated Monroe 35-16, all of the first string dented the twine, lack Verby netting ten points. Lawrence Lepsche was an inspiration to his mates, and for his fine work was placed on the All-City team of the week. Marshall gave Iohnson a surprise defeat by winning out in the overtime period. After Iohnson had missed four shots in the overtime, Marshall tipped one in to end the game 32-30. 4 Whose ball? Sixty-one Sixty-two Iohnson stopped Harding's rush toward its first city conference title, handing the Maroons a 17-15 reverse in a wild and exciting game. Fate smiled on Al Sundberg's team: they connected from far and wide. The crowd was the largest and the most enthusiastic this year and lack Verby, the scoring hero. Maurice Ferrazzo was the standout on defense. He was given the job of stop- ping Gerald McLaughlin, Harding's star: he stopped him. It was the first time that McLaughlin knew what it was to be blanked for his evening's effort. Iack Verby and Maurice Ferrazzo were placed on the All-City team of the Week for their outstanding work.

The team won five games and tied five. It was one of the best teams produced to date at Iohnson: it ended in second place, next to champion Washington. lack Bussiere, our capable goalie, was rated one of the best in the city and contributed much to the team's undefeated season. He graduated in Ianu- aryy Earl Iohnson, a junior, filled in and did outstanding work. D. Iohnson, H. Bauer, and H. Lindlof composed a strong forward line: Hank Wojcik and Elmer Larson were like two iron posts on defense. Wojcik and Lindlof were placed on the All-City team. With H. Wojcik and E. Iohnson back next year under lohn Neihart's direction, the team has hopes of going right up the ladder toward the City title. With another strong squad, the prospects for top golf honors appear very high. The par busters triumphed again last spring, capturing the fifth City title out of the last six. They did not stop there but proceeded to win also the Twin City title, defeating Washburn 4 to 3. Bob Clasen, last year's most consistent low scorer, will be back again this year, together with Merrill Hazzard. Herman Bergh, who is himself often out on the fairways, will again coach the lohnson golfers as they attempt to repeat their victories of the past years.

Zzafmcwcf Iohnson's tennis team, headed by captain Stanley Gerber and school champion Iustin Torgrimson, will again be out on the surrounding courts this year. In the spring of '39 the team competed with Cretin, Central, and Washing- ton: they broke even, winning four and losing tour matches. In the fall, a tournament open to all contestants from Iohnson was held. lustin Torgrimson triumphed and was honored with a medal. Coach A1 Sundberg will start his netmen rallying the balls over the nets again this spring. Stan Gerber, Iustin, Eugene Rollwagen, Charles Pierson, Iames Burrows, and Wallace Weimar are back: consequently the team should make even a better record than it did last year. The baseball outlook- for 1940 seems very promising. The competition is great, and boys are fighting for a place on the lineup. With material from last year's line which concluded its season in second place, the team this year appears to be one of the most evenly balanced ever to assemble under the direction of their coach, Al Sundberg. The pitching staff has Art Patet, one of the starters from last year, to bolster its chances. Laurence Lepsche, the catching mainstay, is back again to complete a powerful battery combination. The infield has suffered the greatest loss, but Hank Wojcik, star second baseman, will be back to aid in breaking in the rookies. They will miss Rolyn Goff, home-run hitting centeriielder. The freshmen ily chasers are developing rapidly, and we are confident that we shall be proud of our team. lj ,X 5 Q er-- . XJ WV GYM TEAM Hou' on-ff: J. Voigt, Mr. Sundberg, R. Jordon. How t'u'o: J.

Out of the group of ambitious young fleetfooted boys, only six were lettermen from last year. The team progressed rather slowly at first, but when favorable weather came, things changed. Although hampered by the loss of such stars as Bob Dorr, Ralph Pariana, and Ken Holmgren, who aided in placing the Governor cindermen in second place at the city meet, the tracksters will still have Ed Verby, who starred indi- vidually in the city and state meets. The Governor men of the mat and bar finished their season with a very fine showing, placing third in the City Gym Meet. They also finished fourth among the St. Paul high school teams participating in the Northwest Gym Meet. Iim Pribil captured honors in Class B competition for Iohnson throughout the campaign. Clinton Berg and Iames Voigt won places in the Twin City Meet, held at the University of Minnesota. Although most of the team is grad- uating, We know that Coach Al Sundberg will have another excellent group next year. LEADERS' CLUB Ron- tu-11: V. l'a1'ise:1u, D. Ham marlund, M. Maitkfiiti, M.

It is not just the wearing of a letter, but the symbol of something deeper and more lasting. To become a letterman, a boy has to be outstanding in an activity. Each sport awards its letters once a year to those boys who have distinguished themselves. Football, basketball, and hockey men have already been awarded their letters for this year, but golf, track, and baseball will not be decided upon until later. The coaches of the various sports have different standards for choosing lettermen, but they all agree in several respects. A boy must be a steady, consistent player: he must have a good spirit, the ability to cooperate, and the determination to live up to training rules. Lettermen are definitely the cream of the crop, and it is an honor to which every boy aspires.
