Although it seems not so always, the co- operation between the faculty and student body is good. The faculty has its activities, as does the student body. Most every mem- ber spends the summer months in further study of his subject. During the spring va- cation of this last school year, teachers from all over the north central part of Iowa gath- ered in our city and held a convention. Ways and means of better instruction were dis- cussed and all participants profited. lVlay the co-operation between the students and faculty next year if possible be even greater than it was this year, and then greater next year, and so on forever. We like the way they attended our school functions and we truly appreciate their faith- ful Work. ESTHER STAPLES Clerk HILMA STINES Commercial I ! X JAMES RAE Principal J. B.

Well, there they all go. l guess we've done a pretty good job in landing them safely, eh what? The others nodded their heads in reply and 1927 said, Yes, but l surely hate to see them leave. For my part, l've enjoyed every minute of the time l helped get them over this old river. They seem happy enough if you ask me, said 192 7, and if l'm any kind of a prophet, l say their futures are assured and that there really are some budding geniuses in their midst. And how is it with you, 1926? Bet it was some job to get all those Freshmen started on the course without any mishaps! The one addressed crossed his long legs with an almost audible creaking of joints and spoke. Of course, the first part of everything is usually the hardest and boys and girls alike received some pretty hard jolts. But they soon learned what each admit stood for and when it was needed, and realized after the first six weeks that at least a fair amount of studying was required. Then of course there were those peppy F. F. C., G. A. A., and Hi-Y Clubs that did so much in the line of making friends, and creating a wonderful school spirit. The boys, of course, entered into all the activities, sports, music, . . . there were those peppy clubs that did so much in the line of making friends X debate, and the rest. Guess thatis why they've done so Well. Started in early. Yes, they have often spoken of that first year in High School, mused 1927. I remember how eagerly they started out their Sophomore year and how profitably they finished it. Pep and enthusiasm was personified that year and not even the coldest November day kept them from trooping to the football stadium to do their share of the rooting. They entered, as they' had the year before, into all the activities of the school, whole-heartedly, and with the old pep. You know, commented 1928, Ml believe we four enjoyed those pep meetings and thrilling send-offs we've witnessed these last four years, as much as any of those high-spirited boys and girls. . And it certainly,was a real treat, resumed 192 7, too, the way those girls did play hockey and basketball, and show up the way they did in the . . . trooping to the stadium to do their share of the rooting Tennis Tournament. Why, the way some of them gained dramatic fame those first two years was more than l could understand. Guess we boys didn't have any such training when we were young, did we? and the old man chuckled as he recalled to the others a particularly humorous incident in the All High School play of that year. The old men were silent for a moment, each one apparently recollecting some incident of school life which had remained uppermost in his mind. Presently l928, still lost in a reverie of thought, resumed the conversation- When those boys and girls assumed the role of Juniors they reached new heights which heretofore had seemed above their reach. Many of the boys by that time were playing in the first team games, and enthusiasm for such ran high. And we had some pretty fine musicians in that Junior Class, put in l926. We certainly did, replied 1928, and we won't soon forget the Junior Class Play, 'Cappy Ricks', that was such a splendid success, will we? The X cast in that comedy certainly gave the Juniors assurance that their dramatic efforts were by no means in vain. At this the oldest ferryman stood for a moment and slowly walked to the edge of the deck, thinking of all those past events, and as he rejoined his com- rades his old weatherbeaten face lit up with a smile. That junior and Senior banquet last year was what l call a perfect wind-up for the third quarter of their course, clon't you? Yes, those were three wonderful years for our boys and girls, but l'm sure that their Senior year was as great as all the other three put together. Al- though sometimes they did seem to us old timers a bit reckless and to have hardly a lick of common sense, l guess we've all become reconciled to this modern youth stuff, haven't we, boys? They're a pretty fine bunch, I think, and there's no doubt but what these four years they've spent here have been the first real stepping stones to their future success and happiness. Let's look over that scrap book we've put together during this last year and see what we find of interest. What do you say? The old men were at once delighted with the idea and as the deepening shadows turned to darkness at the close ofthe memorable days, the Seniors, turning back to give one last look at those four years whichiwere to always remain a happy memory, saw the old ferrymen, with heads together, enjoying the pages of the scrap book of l929. . . . the boys of course entered into all the activities Y s Commencement 'JI BACCALAUREATE EXERCISES Sunday, May 26, 1929 Address, Making a Life or Making a Living .

With all our class fights and war, a spirit of good will and co-operation has prevailed between the two classes. Proof of its loyalty to the school is expressed throughout the pages of activities in this little volume. We admire their pep and hope they finish well. Pep ! X The Sophomore Class A very active class, even more so than the lively Freshman Class. Having looked through this book and seen the number from that class which appear herein, we do not hesitate to remark that they will make good Juniors next year. i I The Library I - - - The Freshman Class As peppy ancl as fresh as the present graduating class in its first year. This is a tribute incleed, but it can be proven. Merely' glance over the pages of this little volume and you will find that class represented in many ways ancl on many pages.

L, 115 Eff The Dean In the Archives of the Society for the Propagation of Useless Conver- sation for the year l928-l929 are to be found many ,interesting chap- ters. I believe that with the passage of the years the chapter on Mem- ories is going to prove most inter- esting. I will not recall any of these pleasant instances. That is the beauty of the chapter, one can put into it anything and everything that one may choose. In looking back over the year's meetings of the society of eager ex- ponents of the double jointed, fric- tionless tongue, I believe that there are two things that stand out very clearly. One is that we are all eager to face Life and to face it courag- eously, the second that very few of us have any clearly defined goal in mind. For the first point I have only praise to offer and I want to say that the contacts with you have been stimulating and valuable. Upon the second point I should , like to put down a few rambling re- marks fthey always get that way be- .I. B. MacGREGOR fore we get far, so we might as well Dean Of the -Ilmim' COUBEQ admit it right now and save you dis- covering itl. First of all, very few people have an overwhelming sense of coming greatness. If one lived continually in the light of such a feeling he would become an impossible prig. Neither is it healthy to acquire the feeling that you have a great future behind you. I understand that the biographer of Woodrow Wilson is finding it difficult, if not impossible, to uncover any significant material over the period ISS5-l900. Life does have a way of idling along at half speed or slower even for those who are destined for greatness. The moral of this tale is that we plug along seemingly getting nowhere. We are in an impasse, College is a bore, home intolerable, Mason City is a 'ihick town , there isn't a single practical, romantic or aesthetic thing in the entire environment. When in such a mood remember that we do not know just what it is that the future has in store for us. If we persist in the face of difficulties, be nonchalant instead of bored, become active participants in the scene around us instead of remaining inert spec- tators, we create for ourselves inner resources that are the true realities of Life. Ideas are the important things after all because we only move, acquire, and recombine Things in the light of our Uldeasu. Things take on meaning only in the presence of Ideas , I want to close this with a quotation from Mr. Justice Holmes of the United States Supreme Court. To a young man asking his advice he said: Do the handsome thing, young fellerl If you are sailing an intellectual bark prepare for rigors and sail straight for the North Pole. Wreak yourself on life! If you want to hit a bird on the wing you must have all your will in a focus-every achievement is a bird on the wing-Be a willing instrument. X s Junior College June, july, August-three whole months and no damage had been done to good old 213. No books had been thrown, no chairs broken and no pencils had marred its sacred walls. But now, things would be different. Vacation was over. The doors opened at last, letting in a flood of enthusiastic young men and women ready for the trials of higher education . The way proved hard and bumpy, but nearing the end of the year, and looking back we find that most of those that started are here Cat least bodilyj. No sooner did these enthusiastic Junior Collegians arrive, than things began to happen. Football started one of its most successful years, College Y, and Wig and Mask held meeting, Debate began activities, the first Pulse was on the road to completion, and last, the Gazooks sprang into prominence. Yes, they certainly were a busy bunch, laughing, talking, fun-loving, and carefree, yet at the same time, having an underlying vein of seriousness. ln the fall the faculty gave a reception to the students which was well re- ceived. There were several instrumental numbers, after which Miss Treman gave a reading. Refreshments were served and the remainder of the evening was occupied with dancing. Homecoming was held at the Hotel Hanford December 22. It proved to be a large affair, sixty-five couples being present. Many of the old grads were there and enjoyed themselves as much, if not more than the students. Chester DeSart was in charge, and made it a financial as well as a social suc- X cess. There were several numbers on the program and groups of popular numbers were played and sung. After the entertainment the couples danced. We have enjoyed our assemblies, both the pep and serious varieties, very much. Those that were given each Wednesday morning were much en- joyed. The policy was that each week, a faculty member should read one of the outstanding articles appearing in the better magazines. We vote for this custom to be included in next year's program. Then, too, we have been extremely fortunate in the matter of pep as- semblies. Early in the year the Gazooks put on an assembly the day before the crucial football game of the year. Somewhat later the Gazooks put on another assembly which was a farcical play entitled Captain Skid Skedaddlen. The girls put on a pep assembly soon after. The scene was in, court and the girls imitated the different football stars. All of these assemblies were very funny and were heartily received. ln April the girls gave an assembly which was in direct contrast to the pep assemblies, as this was an hour of music. The hour consisted of songs and piano selections with a violin solo and a reading. The next week the boys gave an assembly in which music again played a predominant part, although it was interspersed with humor. These assemblies were given before an audience consisting of the Junior College and the Seniors, and were such a success as to open the way for more assemblies. The first was given by the Freshmen, the second by the Sopho- mores, and the third and last a crowning achievement by the faculty. Two plays were given by the junior College. One was You and I by Philip Barry. This was the Wig and Mask production. The College Y put on their original musical comedy Sally , which was a great success, being given three times, once in Charles City and twice here. We have had several good debates this year but probably the best was the non-decision debate with the State Teachers College. The remarks flew thick and fast, first one side having the advantage, then the other. We should hate to have had to judge the debate, it was so close. We won't forget how what appeared to be a row of books on the table fell down and turned out to be merely book covers. The debate squad, incidentally, has completed its most successful year. The year was concluded with the customary college picnic and banquet. Looking over records of past years, we have decided that the Junior Col- lege has gone through its most successful year of the eleven years it has been functioning. Our student body was larger than any heretofore. The activities better. Athletics have prospered, especially football, and the year has been generally successful. Let us hope that we may prosper more in the years to come. l l l l GAZOOKS Shh-Gazooks-a pep organization consisting of about fifteen active col- lege men. Their activities this year have been many and varied. They pub- lished the Gazook Gazette, a paper of school gossip. They were at the bot- tom of many of the assemblies, attended all the football games they were able to, and were generally active. As the organization consisted primarily of Freshmen who for the most part will be back next year, the Gazooks feel that the next year should be very good. X Top Row-Moeller, Rinarcl, Shook, Coach Crosen Bottom Row--Nelson, Pedelty, l-lodenfield, Winegar Debate This year's debate season has been probably the best year in the history of Mason City junior College. Four teams were used and two questions were debated, thus making necessary an assistant debate coach. John MacMillan filled this post, and was a great help to the head coach, Guy L. Crosen, and to the debaters. The first debate of the year was with Waldorf. The squad lost to Waldorf's more experienced debaters. Those who participated were: Phil Winegar, Arnold Moeller, and Howard Nelson Aon the affirmativeg and Park Rinard, Paul Pedelty, and Virgil Shook on the negative. The question was, Resolved, That a Substitute for Trial by Jury Should be Adopted. The second debate was with Eagle Grove junior College. The negative team of Mason City won. Those debating were Milton Hodenfield and Virgil Shook. Sheldon was the next victim. The affirmative team composed of Milton Hodenfield, Arnold Moeller, and Howard Nelson, and the negative repre- sented by Milton Hodenfield, Paul Pedelty, and Virgil Shook, won easily. Then Mary Stevens and lrene Holman traveled to Eagle Grove and took a decision from them. The season closed with a brilliant non-decision clash with the affirmative team of lowa State Teachers' College. Bad weather prevented us from finishing our schedule. Debates with Des Moines Univer- sity and with Boone were cancelled. This year Mary Stevens, lrene Holman, and Milton Hodenfield will receive gold M's for their two years of participation in intercollegiate work. Paul Pedelty, Phil Winegar, Arnold Moeller, Park Rinard, Howard Nelson, and Virgil Shook will receive felt emblems. According to Debate Coach Guy L. Crosen, next year looks good. He has the nucleus about which to build a strong team. Rinard, Pedelty, Moeller, Winegar, and Shook will be back next year. X l c at '- I I I ' J College Y OFFICERS COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN President . . .

The original musical comedy, Sally , written by Mary Stevens, Dorothy Hicks, lrene Holman, and Mary Gould, and directed by Elizabeth Patchen, was given before a large and appreciative audience. Clever dances were ar- ranged and directed by Helen Green, Ruth Barclay, and Phyllis Pettis. The costumes, which were especially clever, were designed by Elizabeth Maytham.

Enid Hubanks, Babe Rehberg At our first meetings we read one-act plays, books on play production, and divided the club into groups to work on various one-act plays. ln order to keep interest alive we decided to have a play, You and l . This play had two casts which almost outdid themselves in trying to be chosen for the final performance. This was the first time that Miss Treman had ever tried the plan of a dual cast and she found it so successful that she has con- tinued using this method for the other plays she has since directed. After two weeks of strenuous practice the final cast was chosen: Verneil Curtiss as the charming wife of Phil Winegar, the painter. This couple had a son in the person of Merrill Shanks, who had difficulty deciding whether to put his career before his girl, Elizabeth Patchen. Mary Jane Bogardus, as the maid, had some fun posing for the painter. Rolland Towne, as an author, and Glenn Barker as a factory owner, added much to the quality of the per- formance. The persons who were not chosen for the final performance were put on the Production Staff, and this was satisfactory to every one. The play was highly successful both from a monetary and an entertainment standpoint. X s O Masonnan 1 N s f Football The junior College football season of i928 was one of the most successful seasons in the history of the college. Our first game of the season was with Wartburg Normal from Waverly, lowa. Although the game was very ragged, we won by a score of 33 to 0. The next week the team went to Eagle Grove where they met with a little more difficult opposition. Due to an error in substitution, Carl Lash, star quarterback, was lost to the team in the second half. ln spite of this loss of one of our best players, we eked out a 7 to 6 victory by 'scoring in the last few minutes of play. Nitzkowslci caught a pass for the point after touchdown which put us in the lead. Our next game was played at Webster City. At the half Webster City was leading with a score of I2 to 0, but the team showed its true Trojan spirit by coming out with a victory of 25 to l2. The two outstanding features of the game were Lom- bardo's 96 yard run resulting from a perfectly executed triple pass, and Brewton's 65 yard run after scooping up a fumble. The next Friday the team left at 4:30 a. m. for Sheldon. Early morning rising evidently agreed with the team for they were undismayed at seeing the Sheldon Giants trot onto the gridiron. Sheldon was by far the toughest team yet to be encountered, as they had beaten Fort Dodge only the week before, 7 to 6. The ball seesawed back and forth for the most of the game, but the Trojans finally emerged with an 8 to 6 victory. Our second game at home was played with Eagle Grove in a half foot of snow. The game, ending in a 6 to 6 tie, was far from spectacular. Conditions of the field necessitated slow, careful playing. The following week, Estherville with their much touted star, Warrington, held the Trojans scoreless while they crashed through with one touchdown. The game was practically all Warrington from start to finish. The Trojans came near scoring in the second quarter when Marion Thompson, guard, scooped up a blocked punt and ran 46 yards, only to be dragged down on the 6 yard line by Warrington. Our next game was with Waldorf College, a non-conference team from Forest City. The field was in terrible condition, as it had rained all the previous night. ln the third quarter the rain changed to snow. The blizzard X was so dense that it was almost impossible to play. Waldorf succeeded in getting most of the breaks and beat the home team 26 to 0. On Thanksgiving Day, two weeks later, we played the last game of the season with our traditional foe, Fort Dodge. Many of the players are of the opinion that Fort Dodge had the best team that has ever played in Mason City. The Trojans, though outplayed, put up a great fight. The Dodgers won l 7 to 7. Cecil Tompkins, a veteran of three years ago, was elected Captain for this season regardless of the fact that he had not attended school the year previous. He was voted all-conference end unanimously. Although only one hundred and fifty pounds in weight, he was regarded as the hardest-hitting tackler in the conference. Robert Bost, Captain-elect, was a newcomer this year. Although he had never played before, he developed rapidly under judge , His one hundred and eighty pounds was used to great advantage in his tackle position. It was a common sight to see Bost tear through the opposing line and drop the ball carrier in his tracks. Bob had tough luck with a blood clot on his leg and was lost to the team for the last three games. Bob Dull, guard, completed his second year of football. He was the best of the guards. After Bost's injury he was used at tackle. Bob was a very good tackler and a very hard man to take off his feet. It was Bob who made the hole in the line that paved the way for our touchdown against Fort Dodge. Ralph Horton made good at center. He was fast and aggressive, a typical north-ender. He was handicapped by a bad knee the latter part of the sea- son. With his year of experience he should be a mainstay in the line next fall. James Coyle held down the guard position opposite Dull. He was fast and rough. Coyle will be back next fall after his old guard position. Stanley Knutson or Lolo , a real Swede, came over from the Lake this year, resolving to make a place on the team. He held down the left tackle position in great style, despite the handicap of a bad ankle. Theodore Brewton held down the left end position until he left school. He was one of the fastest men on the team. l Carl Lash, ex-captain, played quarterback. He is a hard driver and excels in end runs. He did most of the passing. Lash to Tompkins was a combina- tion feared throughout the conference. Charles Lombardo was the ball carrying ace of the team. His peculiar gait coupled with a brilliant change of pace, left his tacklers grasping air. His specialty, the lateral pass play, failed very seldom. Cuddy Nitzkowski was used as halfback but with the return of Steece, was shifted to end. He was small but very fast. Cuddy caught the pass which won our first game with Eagle Grove. Baird Steece, a veteran of last year, broke his foot just before the first game. He showed up at most of the practices and when his foot was healed stepped right into a backfield position. Mike Cummings, red-headed fullback, was one of the most aggressive men on the team. His line plunges and off tackle plays' were the team's main source of gaining ground. Although he is small, he is fast and tricky. ln defensive playing he was a wonderful help in backing the line. Thompson, Fiala, Tims, Diehl, Nelson, Reynolds, and Winegar, all did their share in making the ZS season successful. Most of them will be back next year and we wish them good luck.

Basketball Although Coach Volney Hansen had very little material to work with this year, he was not to be daunted. for he was determined to turn out a basketball team. Things went pretty hard at first since so many of the candidates were working and were not able to attend all practices. For this reason almost all of the early practices were spent in learning the fundamentals. The team be- gan to show fairly good form after the first three or four games, but was set back considerably by the loss of Carl Lash, undoubtedly the smoothest player on the squad. Shortly after this, McDonald, another good man, was lost. We cannot help but regret that game with Webster City. Early in the game lVlike went in for a setup, giving us the jump on the opponents, which we held until the end of the quarter. Just before the end of the half, a Webster City man committed a foul on Cummings, but the referee failed to announce upon whom it had been made, so Coyle shot the free throw. The referee, realizing his mistake, would not count the free throw nor would he allow Cummings to shoot. The half ended in a tie--l l up. The last half proved to be as close as the first until near the end, then a Webster City forward sunk a pretty one from the middle of the floor and we had lost. X PARK RINARD Park was handicapped 'by his small size, but devel- oped into a smooth player. He will be hack with us next year. TED PEAKE Ted was tall and rangy, but lacked experience. He'll be back again next season. HARRY TIMS Tims was small and so was handicapped, but he had lots of fight to compensate for his lack of size. CHUCK BORMAN Chuck played his first bas- ketball this year. He de- veloped into a nice guard. He was the only tall man on the team. JUNIOR. COLLEGE Z9 JOHN HEFFNER, Captain Junior was a hard and con- sistent player and always did his best to pilot the team and to buck them up when things looked bad. We hate to lose him. MIKE CUMMINGS fRecl Grangej Mike played forward in the early part of the season and guard later, and fought hard to make a successful season. MARION THOMPSON Thomp was another of those men who had no ex- perience. He should make good next year. FRANK F IALA Frank had a good eye for the basket but lacked expe- rience. He was a ha rd driving forward. MAX BRUNS Max was the lightest man out. He worked hard, how- ever, and was an important cog in the machine. Masonian Arnold Moeller was a smart, consistent player and a valuable man on the team. He was not able to come out until late in the season, but because of his former experience on the fast Clear Lake team, he cinched a position at guard. Moeller always managed to make it plenty tough for the opposing forwards. It is likely that he will be hack next year. james Coyle, an experienced player from St. Joseph's Academy, proved to he one of the main cogs in the junior College machinery. He was an aggressive player, fast and shifty. He was very consistent in his basket shooting and was high point man on the team. Edgar Carman was good at passing and team work. He was handicapped by missing out on the early season practice. He was a hard worker and had plenty of fight. COACH HANSEN - - l I Track The l928 track season consisted solely of a single meet which was held at Estherville. The fellows earned second place although Coach Hansen was not there. Those participating were Dean Avise, Cecil Kellum, Buster Brew- ton, Delmar Olson, Don Findlay, and George Hill.

A team which fights like true Mohawks, fights fairly, wins the respect of every team with which it plays, and turns in a real record for the season's play. This year our season while not entirely successful was very satis- factory. We opened by scoring an impressive victory over North- wood, our visitors, 62 to 0. This game was an easy one and ten touchdowns were amassed for the Red and Black though only two points after goal were made. The next week the Mohawks, outplaying the scrappy Nas h ua team in every way, won a second victory with a score of 52 to 7. The M ohawks found stubborn opposition in every play, but dis- played superior ability and took advantage of several breaks. They also showed much improvement over the Northwood game, but some weak spots were still evi- dent. Following the Nashua game the Mohawks journeyed to Osage where we won a third consecutive victory by a I3 to 6 score. Passes and end runs paved the way for our goals while our line was prov- en to be a stone wall on defense. After another week of hard work we met and defeated Al- gona's team of veterans which visited Mason City. It was a hard fought battle and when the final whistle blew the score was 7 to 6 favoring the Mohawks, who outplayed their opponents in the last quarter. After winning from Algona we received our first defeat,at the hands of the Clarion Cowboys, who journeyed to Mason City to win by a score of 7 to 6. The particular thing that characterized ' M8S0lli8lI l this game, which was played evenly until the fourlh quarter, was that a Mohawk, scooping up a fumble on his own one yard line. ran nearly the entire length of the field, almost making a touchdown. The game was over before the Mohawks could make a final push. Mason City next went forth to battle the West Waterloo Wahawks, from whom we received another defeat. When the final whistle blew the Wahawks boasted 19 points while we had only 6 to our credit. The Nlohawks made their lone counter through a long pass. i Under a blanket of snow we next went to Hampton, where the Mohawks again tri- umphed, defeating the Hampton boys by a score of I2 to 6. The game was thrilling to the spectators because of the many fumbles due to the heavy, wet snow. Before one of the largest Armistice Day crowds ever assembled at Roosevelt Stadium the Mohawks battled to a scoreless tie with the Charles City eleven. ln this game our line was again tested and proven to be holeproof when in the fourth quarter the Charles Cityans threatened to score after working the ball to our ten yard line. ln a sea of mud the Greene eleven came to Mason City to succumb to the Mohawk warriors to the tune of Z6 to 6. Many of our reserves saw action in this game and they showed themselves capable of holding their own. Next we had as our visitors the Clear Lake Lions, who went home boasting a score of 7 to 6. Much of the game was played in the air, both teams depending heavily on their punters. The Lions' touchdown, the result of a blocked punt, came first, and the much disputed point after the goal was ceded to them when a Mohawk was offside. Near the end of the game the Mohawks threatened to score again by a series of forward passes, but were unsuccessful. We closed our season with the trip to Fort Dodge, where we were defeated before a large Thanksgiving Day crowd by a I3 to 0 score. However, at the close of the game the winners respected the ability of the Mohawks. It was a clean, hard game. CAPTAIN HENRY HEIMENDINGER playing his last year for the Scarlet and Black closed his football career by leading the Mohawks through a very satisfactory season. Playing at left guard, he was a hard and consistent player, giving evidence at all times of the trust and confidence which had been placed in him as captain. Although his loss will be keenly felt the battles through which he captained the team will never be forgotten. RUSSELL WRIGHT, experiencing his first year on the varsity, played at a halfback position. He is a good punter and we depended on him for most of the punting. He is also an excellent passer and broken field runner. Russ has one more year of varsity competition. PHILLIP THURTLE, quarterback. was responsible for not a little of our success in l928. Pop with his triple-threat ability and his indomitable spirit, helped to make many yards for the Miohawks. He was an excellent pass receiver and we regret that his football days at Mason City are over. CAPTAIN-ELECT JOE MANNING held a berth on the team as halfback this year. He is an excellent blocker and although he did not carry the ball much, he was of great value to the team as a blocker. We are assured of a successful season next year under his leadership. 4 W 1 I K e R 1 1 1 Capt. Heimendinger Wright Thurtle Capt.-elect Manning X JAMES WATTS jim made up in fight any lack of height or weight that he might have, and proved to be one of the most aggressive men in :t Mohawk uniform. His hard playing as a guard made him a valuable reserve and he turned in an exceedingly good record of the season. LEONARD KENNEY Leonard played left end for his second year on the varsity. He is fast and an excellent receiv- er of forward passes, for many are the times that a long pass to him has made a touchdown for the Scarlet and Black. Leon- ard played consistently and was considered one of the best ends in the state. He has two more years to play and much is to be expected of him. WILLIS PARROTT Although VVillis was only four- teen, he was big, rangy, and fast, making an ideal running mate for Kenney, When Willis launched his 170 pounds of fighting Mohawk at a halfback, that individual could be in no position to bother for at least one play. He has two more years to carry the colors, and, boys, watch his dust. REGINALD GRIMM Playing his second year on the varsity HReg showed himself to be a battering ram on of- fense and a stone wall on de- fense which caused an alien quarterback to think twice be- fore trying an off-tackle smash. 'lReg'1 has yet another year to fight for the Scarlet and Black. , JAY CONNELLY ,lay played a great game at a halfback position. He was fast and could advance the ball when given an opportunity. Displaying good defense all sea- son, he grounded many passes and brought to earth all op- ponents who came his way. Jay graduates this year. ' ' JAMES HUFF HON , playing his last year of football, with his weight and his knowledge of how to use it, was a very effective tackle. His ability to break up plays made him a valuable reserve and he turned in a good record in all the games he took part in. JAMES BRITVEN Jim was one of our most de- pendable line reserves and his guard was particularly com- mendable. In the next two years he should turn in a fine record. EARL GAYLOR l-Iarl was a very faithful re- serve, and we expect him to be right in there next year in spite of his size. MIKE YANKOVITCH Mike, at end, filled in whenever it was necessary and played a nice game. He is aggressive and played well both on offense and defense. He has one more year in High School. MARIO CAMBLOR Mario, at fullback, performed in stellar fashion all season. He was an excellent line plung- er as well as a good kicker, and also was good on defense. With his spirit and aggressiveness he easily made up for what he lacked in size. RALPH MICKELSON Mic came here from Oregon, where he had played football before, and here also turned in an enviable record. He played end and played well in every game into which he was sent. His fine sportsmanship was evi- dent at all times. We are sorry to lose him this year. ELWIN SNELL Snell was another faithful re- serve. Injuries kept him from playing the last of the season. X Watson Billman FRED WATSON Freddie , although small, is fast and shifty, and his all-around football ability made him a valuable man. He is an excellent broken field runner, often making :pectaeular gains. We regret to lose a man of his caliber. BUFORT BILLMAN 'tliu' played tackle this year, working to perfection lsoth on offense and defense. He is a steady, con- sistent player and in the two years of competition which he has left he will no doubt develop into one of the hc-st tackles in the state. GARROLLD GAFFNEY If any man on the team this year was characteristic of a Mohawk, that man was our right guard. In the interference he was always sure to take care of at least me of the opponents, but generally more. We lose him through graduation this year and his position will he liar-l to fill. GEORGE KRIEGER George, playing his last year on the varsity, made a name for himself as a terrific line smasher. With his yardage, when it counted, George aided the Mohawks to more than one touchdown. With him in the game cue always was Sllft' the fullback position would be well taken care of. Gaffney Krieger LAWRENCE MEADE When Larry played his last game at Fort Dodge, he lcft an opening that will be difficult to fill, Al- though he was outweighed in almost every game, Larry outplayed and outguessed his opponent every time. His loss will be felt keenly and it will take a good man to fill his place. HARRISON KOHL t'Kingl' was a good all-around hackfielrl man, playing well both on defense and offense. He played quarter- back and, when given the opportunity, led the team like Zl., veteran. He has yet two more years and next ycar should be a strong cog in what we know will he a team of championship caliber. BEN BRASSER l3en's ability to step in the game as a reserve proved a valuable asset to the Mohawks. He played equally well both cn offense and defense, turning in a good record. He will not be with us nr-'ct year. WAYNE ADAMS Wayne, although only a Freshman, played a great game at tackle whenever given the opportunity, He is fast and shifty and in the three years which he has yet to play he will no doubt make a name for himself. Miller Kohl Brasser X Basketball Back Raw--Strong, Belseth, Screi, Grelk, Adams, Mcl'eak, Gilpin, Smith, Berg, Coach Grimslcy Frunt Row Nance, Mickelson, Trevett, Port, Bryant, Sykes, Lane, Kohl, Billman, Thurtle Basketball Season Coach Grimsley started out with an ideal squad and out of it he molded a team of all-state caliber: going through the regular schedule with only two defeats in I7 starts. The season may well be marked as one of the best in the history of the Red and Black. Playing some of the best teams in the state, the boys fought their way through, losing only two contests, these going to Charles City, who undoubtedly had one of the best teams in the state. Fast and deceptive was the Mohawl-:'s offense, with a defense that steadily improved as the season wore on, until at the close not even the best found it easy going. The boys were often at a big disadvantage because of their size, being unusually small as a team. However, they entirely overshadowed this defect by setting such a furious pace that only the very best teams could cope virith them. Their fast passing attack seldom failed to carry the indians within striking distance. The first game with Northwood was little more than a practice game, the locals winning by the lop- sided score of 42 to l0. The game with Eagle Grove on the following week proved to be anything but easy, the Indians being forced to come from behind in the last four minutes to win, I3 to l0. The game was featured by missing many shots. Our own team doing most of the missing. The games with Greene and Albert Lea proved more practice for Coach Crimsley's five, taking both contests by nearly 25 points margin. Belmond, who boasted a good quintet, proved the next victim of the Mohawk tribe, losing to the locals by a wide margin. Hampton was the first out of town game. The lndians, because of the strange floor, were obliged to extend all their energy to win a rather close duel-26 to 33. Osage 1 was the next foe and we met the boys in green on their own court. Osage is a mighty hard team to overcome on their home floor. Again we came through, but not until after the hardest sort of fighting- 2l to l4. We met our first stumbling block on the next week end when Charles City's undefeated five journeyed here to engage the Nlohawks. It was our first big upset and it didn't do us a great deal of harm, teaching the boys that to be overconfident is to inviie ruin. All that one could say about the Mason City-Clear Lake game is that it was an air-tight game defensively, with neither tcam making many baskets. The final count favored the Mohawks Zl to l7. The game was as tense as a murder trial, the players being evidently prejudiced and bent on revenge. Fort Dodge provided the entertainment for the locals the next game, and it was a royal skirmish from whistle to whistle, the Mohawks out- scoring the Dodgers exactly one point to win-20 to I9. Coach Judge Grimsiey The return game with Hampton proved to be somewhat of a one- X C sided affair, the Mason City warriors scoring almost at will, finally win- ning 40 to 20. The return game with Osage was rather a ragged ex- hibition of the sport. It was a slow game all the way through, the locals holding a 24 to I9 advantage when the gun stopped hostilities. Keyed to win, the Mohawks journeyed over to battle their ancient rivals of the court, Charles City. The game had not progressed far before it was evident that the heavy scoring of the Charles City aces, Hohn and Leeka, would soon put the game beyond all possible hopes of a Mason City victory. Judge promptly removed Bryant and Billman and started the second half with Captain Thurtle and Lane at forward, Port and H. Kohl at the guards, with Charles Nance, a new find, per- forming in Bryant's position at center. Although the game was appar- ently decided at the half, the score being I7 to 9, the boys passed and shot their way to a 22 to 2I decision at the end of the third quarter, but weakened in the last few minutes of play, losing a hard fought game 3I to 25. According to Charles City fans, it was the greatest game of basketball played on their court in years. The second game with Charles City was the real high light of the season, even if we did not win. The rest of the games, except for the Fort Dodge game, were won l..1 ...

The Mohawks had little trouble in annexing the Sectional Tourney and were sent down to Vvaterloo to attend the District Tournament. The boys were no doubt the best team in the District, although they lost to a team in Class B which under almost any conditions our sec- ond team would beat by I0 points. The reason for their 25 to I8 defeat by Aplington is plain enough. The boys played a heart-breaking game to win from Charles City at 4 o'clock in the afternoon and at the crucial test they were nearly exhausted. Anyway we are proud of that old team and its record will be a mark to aim at for Mohawk teams in the future. Coach judge Crimsley is deserving of special praise for the splendid record of the Mo- hawks during the l92B-29 season. He worked hard and patiently with the squad and his energy and optimism, together with his ample fund of basketball knowledge, was the basic reason for the team's success. Burk Ram' f,il'llllSlt'y, l'nrt, liryunl, Trevelt, Sykes, Strong. Frou! Rim' Xaincv, Micke-lsmi, 1.11111-, Kohl, Hillman, Thurtlv X CAPTAIN THURTLE Forward . .Xge 17. Experience 4 years. His ex- perience made him one of the best luen on the floor, defensively or offensively, in the state. He was a good dribbler and an excellent shot, leading the scor- ing campaign most of the time. His passing was fast and deceptive. 'Topsll was not born an athlete, he has made himself one. Yes, and one that we are proud of. This is his last year. CAPTAIN-ELECT LANE Forward .tge 15. Experience 2 years. Earl was an ideal running mate for Thurtle. He was as fast as greased lightning and a fine shot. He could always be depended upon for his share of the points. His floor work was excellent, dribbling, passing and shooting, equally well. Earl should be a fine forward next season. CHARLES NANCE Center .Xge 17. Experience 3 years. Chuck came to us from Belle Plaine about mid-season, but he was not long in showing his wares. He was first of all a fine cog in the passing offense, being probably the best on the squad in the passing game, He was a dependable shot and a good defensive man. Charles is only a junior this year, and we are looking forward to great things from him during the coming season. HUGHES BRYANT Center, Guard .Xge 16. Experience 4 years. Big and active, Tiger made a valuable man on the court. He was fast and shifty on offense, a bear on defense, and a dead eye under the basket. He played back guard the latter pa.rt of the season, HARRISON KOHL Guard Age 15. Experience 2 years. Harrison, though small, was a whirlwind on of- fense and mighty good on defense. Getting the hall away from the basket seemed to be his specialty. He was a good passer, an excellent dribbler, and a fair shot. Harry should make a good man next year. BURL SYKES Center, Forward Age 17. Experience .5 years. AI- though he was a hard worker, Sykes belongs to the bunch who are called reserves. He was a good shot and handled the ball nicely, He was not quite aggressive enough to fight it out for a position on the team, so. although he graduates this spring, he has yet to occupy a Mohawk varsityberth, though he has worked hard for a long time and deserves due credit. HOWARD TREVETT Center .Xge 15, Experience 2 years. Howard has unlimited possibilities as a center or forward. XVith his range, his eye for the basket, and ability of handling the ball, Trevett should make good. He performed as a reserve center this year and when he did get into the game he made up for lost time. Trev- ett deserves a lot of credit for winning the Eagle Grove game. He took the ball near center, went down under the hoop and with his big long arms he literally dropped the ball through. BUF ORD BILLMAN Guard Age 15. Experience Z years, Buford has two more years left and he should develop into a top-notch guard. He is aggressive, big, handles the ball well, and has an excellent eye for the hoop, RALPH MIKLESON Guard Age 17. Experience 2 years, Mick came to us from the state of Oregon. He was not so fast or such a good shot but his aggressiveness made him a mighty tough customer for any for- ward. Mick has played his last year for the Mohawks. He always gave all to the game. When he leaves, Mason City loses the material for a dandy guard. DON PORT Guard Age 17. Experience 4 years. Don was placed on the All-District Tournament Team by officials at Waterloo because of his scoring power to such a team, but not alone for that, for he does not in the least slight his defensive duties for the offensive. f'Cowboy was a terror from long range all right, and although he has played his last year for us, we will not forget him.

Story Track Season '28-29 Coaches Grimsley and Sutherland started working last year with a bunch of mostly undergraduates and for the most part, inexperienced fellows. How- ever, aided by the fine quality of their new material, Judge and Chick produced a very well balanced track team, one that, although it did not prove to be the best in the state, did prove that with another year of experience it should be a strong bidder for all state honors. Last year's record goes something like this: in the Drake Relays, the boys met some of the most torrid competition in the Middle West, and as a result, the two mile relay team placed fifth. The other team did not place. The first home contest was a triangular meet between Algona, Clarion, and Mason City. The Mohawks won the meet, 84 to Clarion's 56, and Algona's 2 l . Cap- tain Bryant was high point man with 13M points, with Shuffler, weight man, coming next with UM points, having won both shotput and discus. The next meet was the Estherville invitation meet. The team proved far su- perior to any other by amassing 40 points-twice as many as Harris, the near- est competitor. Kenney and Bryant won their specialties, the hurdles, in easy fashion. Kellum vaulted I0 ft. 3 in. for a new meet record, and also set a new mark of 5 ft. SM in. in the high jump. Kohl won the 880 yard run as well as the mile, making a meet record of 4:43 9X l 0 in the latter event. Aside from these, the Mohawks placed in the discus, 440 yard dash, 220 yard dash, mile, and quarter mile relays. The boys were entered in the Cedar Falls meet with little notice from the meet officials, but before it was over they had their ey'es on us. However, despite an unusually good showing, we had to bow to the strong West Water- loo team, who beat us by about ten points. Along with the District Meet we won the right of sending a whole team to the finals at Ames. ln winning fourth place at the State Meet, Coaches Grimsley and Sutherland may well be proud, for although there were three teams better, there were about forty-seven listed below us. The most remarkable performance was by our two Flying Freshmen , Kohl and Kenney. Kohl, although only a . X flaxen haired youngster, set such a furious pace that , A not even the veterans could stand it. He stepped the distance in the fast time of 4:39 7fI0, the best performance in the state last year. Kenney, a big, long-legged youngster, won the admiration of offi- cers by stepping the low barriers second only to one who was by far his senior, and in the fast time of 24 7flO, only four-tenths of a second slower than the state record established by Babs Cuhel in I925. In the National High School Relays the Mohawks met the best schools in this part of the country and points were hard to get, but the fellows came through in fine style, winning the 220 yard low hurdles, placing third in the 880 yard relays, third in the two mile relay, third in the l00 yard dash, second in both pole vault and high jumps, and second in the sprint medley. At the interscholastic meet at lowa City, june 2, we were only able to get one first place, that being earned by our blond comet , Harrison Kohl, who literally burned up the cinders to win the mile run far ahead of his nearest rival. 1929 SEASON The only weakness noticeable this year in Chick Sutherland's band of fleet-footed lndians, was in the field events, for, losing Kellum, our pole vaulter, we had no one to replace him in that event. Although Willis Parrott, a husky young Sophomore, is tossing the weights well, he cannot stand much competition. However, on the track, the team is hard to equal. The 440 yard relay team placed second by only a yard to the fast Wash- ington High quartet, at the Drake Relays. The half mile relay team placed third in ex- tremely fast company at the Drake carnival, while the two mile team fell to third place also. ,....,...............-.---- Coach Sutherland Kenney and Bryant are, up to date, turning in the best performance in the stale in the low and high hurdles, respectively, Kenney having twice romped over the low sticks in 25 seconds, while Bryant has negotiated his specialty, the I20 yard high hurdles, in I6 flat. ln the I00 yard dash, Moore has been performing in great style. At the Cedar Valley Meet he was clocked in I0 Zf I 0 seconds. So far this season the best time in the state was made by Rogers of jefferson. Although Kohl has not been running the mile in competi- tion he has apparently lost none of his endurance, for at the interscholastic meet at lowa City he stepped the 880 yards in a two mile relay in the fast time of I :5B. With these individual performers there is Beck, Captain Tiernan, Schroeder, Wik, Thurtle, and Parrot, as well as a host of other cinder artists who invariably add points in a meet. ' Ten fellows, Captain Tiernan, Bryant, Thurtle, Moore, Wik, Schroeder, Kohl, Meade, and Kenney, were taken to the annual interscholastic meet at lowa City, where three states were represented. By winning the sprint medley, taking second in the I00 yard dash, second in the two mile relay, as well as placing in most of the events, the Mohawks placed second to the classy Oak Park High of Chicago. Xve were the only lowa school which placed above seventh place. At Cedar Falls the fellows simply I'ckcd up the plate, taking the I00 yard dash, I20 yard high hurdles, 220 yard low hurdles, high jump, two mile relays, and medley relay. Aside from those first places there was a substantial number of seconds and thirds. When the boys journeyed to the Drake Relays this year, they went without the guidance of their diminutive mentor, Clayton Sutherland, who was confined to his bed because of an attack of appendicitis. Had he been with them, the boys might have done even better than they did. A lot of the success of the team lies in the expert management of the head coach, Clayton Sutherland. Chick has been with us only two years, but few there are who do not know him, and none that do not sincerely admire him for his very manliness. He worked for the team consistently and in a quiet. unnoticeable manner. His workable ideas regarding the very successful carnival aided very materially.

X Girls Athletics Girls Athletics MISS HELEN PLATT Director Girls Athletics Miss l-lelen Platt, Director of the Girls Athletic Department, and adviser of the G. A. A., has been a faithful worker throughout the year. Due to her effort, the G. A. A. has flourished. Field Hockey The second sport of the year, Field Hockey, brought a large number of girls. ln the second game of the tournament between the Juniors and Seniors, who were so evenly matched that overtime was necessary to determine the winner, the Seniors made a score and the tournament as well as the game was ended. 1' FIELD HOCKEY CHAMPIONS X . ur' . L volley Ball Volley Ball gave the Juniors a chance to even up their defeat in Hockey. The games were close but the dignified Seniors were defeated and the Juniors and Seniors were even once more. The Freshmen surprised the whole school by winning the Newcome tournament. Basketball Basketball was as popular as ever. The material in all classes was prom- ising. The tournament proceeded and the finals were again to be played between the two great rivals, the Juniors and Seniors. With the Seniors lead- ing at the half, the Juniors came back hoping to win, but the Seniors were too strong for them and the final score was I2 to 4. P w s E X I . Tennis The first sport of the year, Tennis, started the season with a boom. Many entries in both singles and doubles made the tournament especially interesting. The tournament was won by Louise Kern, after a hard battle with Eleanor Prescott. ln doubles great interest was shown, Marjorie Brisbine and Mar- garet Goodman, representing the Class of '29, were defeated by a Sophomore team, Dorothy Bamlaer and Roberta Thias. The swimming meet in April received the least support of any activity. The girls who entered were equally matched and the meet proved a success. Ann Duffield, a Freshman, who stars in diving, took the meet. Vera Hol- man, second, excelling in form: Eleanor Prescott and Peggy Senneff tied for third. Eleanor excels in racing and Peggy and Vera in form. Baseball, in which the Freshmen were victorious, setting a new record for the class, proved that the under-classmen are not to he ignored. The track meet has' not yet been held. Ella Scharlau, who has won the championship for the last two years, is still undefeated. We are yet to see if this champion can be defeated. NIHIW TIFIHIIHEE x 1 Music Masonian Orchestra Members of the Mason City High School Orchestra are selected in a rather unique way. The string players on violin, viola, violoncello, and double bass, are trained and selected for the orchestra by the string instructor of the High School. Last year Miss Mildred Carson was this instructor, and this year Miss Marjorie Smith very capably filled the position. The wind and percussion sections of the orchestra are selected from the band. This year the string quartet from the orchestra represented the High School in the State Contest at lowa City and placed second. The quartet was com- posed of Raymond l..aGasse, Earl Cawley, Norman Bamber, and Ruby Pet- elko. This quartet was trained by Miss Marjorie Smith. Dorothy Bamber acted as the accompanist. Last year the orchestra was defeated by East Waterloo High School in the Charles City contest. East Waterloo placed first in the State Contest. This year the orchestra defeated Marshalltown and Newton in the District Music Contest held at Ames. They placed fourth in the State Contest at lowa City May third. The High School Orchestra holds regular rehearsals weekly on Friday af- ternoons at 3:00 p. m. They are divided into three theater orchestras-the MacDowell, the Beethoven, and the Schubert. These orchestras practice every week under the direction of Miss Marjorie Smith, and alternate playing for Women's Club plays, class plays, banquets, and any other school or com- munity activity asking for small orchestra playing. 1 X . Masonian Band Members of the Mason City High School Band are selected through the Mason City High School band test of 2I questions. The band numbered 60 players for the school year l927-28, and 87 players for the school year i928-29. They play for all home games of football and basketball except when old man weather objects. Three recitals of solos were presented during the l927-28 school year, and seven recitals of solos and duets during the year l928-29. Two public con- certs were given during 1927-28, and three during the school year l928-29. Four student assembly concerts were given last year, and seven this year. During the summer of I928 a summer band school was held for the entire public school system. Practices were held daily on scales, chords, exercises, and band music. Several open air concerts were given during the summer. Much progress is made during the summer band of I0 weeks. The following soloists represented Mason City High School last year: Al- bert Grubb, trombone, William Rae, flute. This year the divisions were larger and more soloists entered: Cornet, Charles Starry French horn, Jess Redingtong trombone, Clifton Burmeisterg baritone, Ernest Zerbleg tuba, Don Woods, flute, William Raeg clarinet, Earl Lane, oboe, Raymond Hughesg bassoon, Arlene Bentz. Jess Redington, Clifton Burmeister, Don Woods, William Rae, Raymond Hughes, and Arlene Bentz survived the Sub-district and District Meets, and represented Mason City in the State Solo Contests. Raymond Hughes won first prize on English horn in the State Contest. Last year the Band placed second in Class A State Band Contest, and this year placed first. Winning this year gives the High School a large bronze plaque, individual silver medals for the members, a silver cup, and a large silver-bronze trophy which if won three times will become the permanent possession of the school. Will M. C. H. S. win this trophy next year? X Girls Glee Club The Girls Glee Club experienced a very successful year. The club was made up of thirty girls, twelve of whom were new members. During the en- tire year the club was very active, taking part in many school functions. ln the operetta, Bells of Capistrano Thelma Larson took the lead with Lois Meyer, Olga Moen, Elizabeth Stevens, Mildred Murray and Quirina Monteon in rather important parts. The operetta was quite successful, and all classes were honored for they were all well represented. Having entered the District Music Contest at Ames and winning first honors, the club, along with the Band, Orchestra, and Boys Glee Club, went to the State Contest at lowa City, at which place they were successful to the extent of winning second place. Vve consider this a very good record and expect the next club to prove itself the best in the state. ' OFFICERS Director . . . . . Ellen M. Smith Accompanist . . Miriam Marston President . . .

X , Boys Glee Club The Boys Cnlee Club this year, which was indeed representative of the stu- dent body, certainly did fine work. These boys rose from our midst and under the faithful direction of Miss Ellen Smith, assisted by the pleasing ac- companiment of Miriam Marston's piano, gained the honor of first place in the State District Contest. The combined efforts of the Boys and Girls Glee Clubs, the orchestra, and Miss Platt's dancing students, The Bells of Capistrano , proved very suc- cessful, with john Davis as the hero, and John Wallace, Don Warfield, John Adams, Wayne Frantz, and Edwin Helbling in leading parts. Although graduation will take nearly half of the boys, we expect that new ones will rise to fill their places, and the Glee Club soon be rated as the best in the state.

X may The Mason City High School has had the privilege of having Mr. Prescott as head of its Music Department for only two short years. When he came here the prospects for a good band looked very poor. Now at the end of the second year, we see leading newspapers of the state running bold headlines telling that Mason City's band is lowa's best, etc. We admire Mr. Prescott's modern youth-like spirit and with confidence expect the Mason City Band within the next few years to win for its permanent possession the Iowa State High School Band Contest Trophy. - X Dramatics Masonian The Year's Best Plays The Entire High School Presents THE DUD A Comedy in Three Acts By Dorothy Heyward Directed By Miss Eva Treman Nancy Ann Van Cuyler Farr .

Harry Montgomery X Declamatory Work The valuable training which Declamatory work can provide has made that department one of the most important of school activities. It has been Miss Treman's idea to try to develop the individual talent and initiative rather than produce contest material. The participants in this event have appeared for various entertainments and obtained much valuable experience. Judging by the enthusiasm of this year, the material left for next year, together with the new recruits, should result in further progress. A team made up of James Armstrong, Gertrude Hall, and Virginia Hille went to the Sub-County Contest. Virginia placed first, and entered the County Contest. Alta Woodward, Virginia Hille, and John Davis, went to the first State Contest at Nora Springs. Virginia also placed first there and went to the next contest at Osage. She was defeated by the girl who won first in the State Contest. Front Row-Davis, Hille, Tokman, Leach, Simon Back Row-Kohl, Woodward, G. Hall, E. Treman X Forensic Debate Debate work under Coach Guy L. Crosen opened this year with thirty students at work on the squad. The question debated this year was: Re- solved, That the United States Should Cease to Protect by Armed Forces, Capital Invested in Latin-America, Except After a Formal Declaration of War. Before opening the regular season the squad engaged in a series of non-decision debates with Eagle Grove, Clarion, Hampton, Belmond, and Clear Lake, with the following students participating: Thayer Curry, Tom Yoseloff, Joseph Ober, Harry Green, Lillie Schultz, Dick Stevens, William Swanson, Harold Belsheim, Kathryn Putnam, Arnold Tice, Raymond Zebker, Clayton Senneff, Alleyne Cagle. The regular season opened on january 30, when a negative team com- posed of Thayer Curry and Joseph Ober met an affirmative team from Osage. The decision, rendered by an expert judge, was in favor of Osage. The same evening an affirmative team, composed of Harry Green and Tom Yoseloff, met an Osage negative team. The decision was rendered in favor of the Mason City team. On February I4, the same teams met affirmative and nega- tive teams from Algona and succeeded in capturing both decisions. On February 28 an affirmative team composed of Tom Yoseloff and Thayer Curry met a negative team of West High School of Waterloo and succeeded in bringing home another victory. Following last year's program, Coach Crosen entered two teams in the lowa State Teachers College Debating Tournament in Cedar Falls and one team in the Drake University Tournament in Des Moines. On March I4 at Cedar Falls, the Mason City affirmative team, composed of Tom Yoseloff and Harry Green, was defeated by the Hampton negative team and joseph Ober and Thayer Curry, upholding the negative, were defeated by the El- kader affirmative. Although Mason City was eliminated from the tourna- Back Row-Crosen, Belsheim, Stevens, Tice, Senneff, Yoseloff Front Row-Cagle, Ober, Swanson, Curry, Green, Zebker X ment, debates were arranged with Storm Lake and Elkader. The Elkader negative won the decision from the Mason City affirmative, but Thayer Curry and Tom Yoseloff, upholding the negative, won the unanimous decision of five judges against the Storm Lake affirmative. On March Zl, a team composed of Tom Yoseloff and Thayer Curry en- tered the tournament at Drake prepared to uphold either side of the question. ln the first round Mason City drew the affirmative against North High School of Des Moines. After a close and interesting contest, the Des Moines team succeeded in winning the decision. A summary of this season shows that both teams did excellent work, win- ning five out of ten debates.

It is the only national organization represented in our High School. The voting power of this organization has increased several fold in the past few years. This chapter now controls over l l00 credit points of voting power, 600 having been gained this year. This season has seen seven new names added to its list of members. Though greatly handicapped by the fact that it was almost im- possible to schedule decision debates, and that cold weather and snow prevented the carrying out of many of those scheduled, the Chapter did excellent work. Joseph Ober, Lillie Schultz, and l-larry Green have earned advanced degrees, while Tom Yoseloff and Thayer Curry have won the Degree of Excellence, the highest de- gree offered to members. The Chapter is holding an election in May to elect officers for the coming year. At the present time, Thayer Curry is President, and Joseph Ober, Secretary.

The Masonian is the year book of the school and a record of events of the school from the end of one sum- mer vacation to the beginning of another. The book is strictly a student publication and offers a lot of experience to those privileged to serve. The Senior Class is the official publisher of the book, but representatives from all classes make up the staff. The staff wishes to express its appre- ciation of the records as well as the per- sonal services of both Tommy D. Priest, Vice Principal of the School, and Ruth Crabb, Secretary of the Senior Class.

Although only three times, each was vigorous enough to keep it alive. A new policy was put into practice which promises to work well if given a chance. Each Pulse was issued by a new staff, where before a single staff was in charge the entire year. Through this policy, chance was given to more students for this sort of experience. . Our school paper was heartily backed and supported by ,business organizations, who through their advertising made the issuing of our three Pulses a possibility. The circula- tion of l300 was devoured by the student body, each individual being entitled to one. Two regular editions were put out and the last was a farce edition-an April Fool number -full of fun. The Pulse staffs of i928-l929 found their work both valuable and interesting, and regret the lack of time to put out more and better Pulses. Best of luck is extended to the staffs of next year. The Pulse staff X . Qrganizations Hi -Y The Mason City Hi-Y Club is composed of sixty-five High School boys in the Senior, junior and Sophomore Classes. The fellows meet as a club every Vvednesday night at the Y. M. C. A. Problems confronting the High School boy are discussed by the boys, then outside speakers are asked to give their viewpoint on the question. The Hi-Y Club meets the need of the High School fellow who would like to have his life problems discussed by others-getting the viewpoint of his fellow classmates. Social events also are a part of the club's function. The officers of the club for l928 and l929 are as follows: John Wallace, Presidentg Henry Heimendinger, Vice President: Max Hight, Treasurerg Albert Barclay, Secretary. The Hi-Y Gospel Team is made up of Hi-Y Club members who are interested in this type of work. This group meets on Sunday afternoon to discuss problems, and out of these discussions the fellows prepare their talks. The team supplies in the pulpits of churches in the towns about Mason City. This past year the team took charge of II church services, traveling a total of 630 miles. E X e M t Maa, , Girls Athletic Association Our Girls Athletic Association is nearly at the close of its seventh successful year, un- der the leadership of the following officers: Mildred Kluck, President: Ella Scharlau, Active Vice President: Ruby W'eher, Honorary Vice President: Kathryn Farrell, Treasurer' jean Lovell, Secretary: Eleanor Prescott, Head of Sports: Marjorie Brishine, Business Man- ager: Marion Marston, Assistant Business Manager: Helen Ellis, Program Chairman' Mar- garet Goodman, Recreation Chairman: Ann Duffield, Freshman Representative. The first social event of the cluh calendar was the membership banquet. The Cafeteria was attractively decorated in Red and Black. The girls listened to a football program Top Row-O'l..eary, Farrell, Marston, Prescott, Goodman, Brishine Front Row-Platt, Kluck, Overlay, Ellis, Lovell, Scharlau v consisting of toasts on Kick-off , Punt , Fumble , and Touchdown . ln October there was held an Annual Hallowe'en Masquerade Party. ln November we enjoyed a most novel party-the Cinderella Ball. Club members always look forward to the Kiddies Kristmas Kapern. This year a larger group of girls gathered in the gym with their small guests, who were entertained with all manner of games. The Colonial Ball was the most beautiful affair of the season. The grand march, led by the Cabinet, was most im- pressive. ln addition to the parties, several successful dances were given with the Mohawks. Each month there is a regular meeting of the club. After the business is discussed, a program always follows. Helen Ellis was in charge and her programs were as follows: October--Kardboard Kiddies November--Vvhen the Lamp Went Out january-For the Love of Mike February-Class Competition April--Story Book Land May-lnstallation of Officers The Girls M Club There are three awards offered to the girls in athletics-the Class Numerals, the MW, d the Sweaters There are eighteen girls who have received their M's during the an . year 1928-29. The M's are awarded to those who have obtained a thousand points ' ' fld d B' d- in sports. The girls who have the honor of belonging to the M club are.

Harriet Jordan One might just as well ask the meaning of golden bittersweet on a hillside in October as to ask the meaning of Hi-Tri. The bittersweet can be dissected: its parts can be labeled accuratelyg and all sorts of information concerning it can be accumulated. But still one does not know the meaning of golden bittersweet in October. lts true signifi- cance lies in the feeling, it awakens in the person who beholds it, a splash of color amid the glories of autumn. And so it is with the Hi-Tri. It is easy to explain to people that the blue triangle within the circle is the particular symbol of the Hi-Tri, and that the three sides of the triangle represent body, mind, and spirit. It is easy to explain that the Hi-Tri code em- bodies those ideals of service and love and right living that help a girl to make her life lovely and worthwhile. It is easy to tell of the good times-of meetings and suppers and hikes, of summer at camp, and winters in club work. Yet the deeper meaning of Hi-Tri is there, too. lt is something more difficult to see. It is a bigger something, made up of all these things, surrounding and underlying them all. The meaning of Hi-Tri lies in this bigger thing, which takes root in a girl's heart ang ggows into what is called the Hi-Tri spirit which makes her look up and love an lit .

Alene Barber President . Beulah Wood Vice President . Ruth Broers Vice President . Emily Berg Secretary . . Eloise Hall Secretary . Fern Newburg Treasurer . Beulah Wood Treasurer . . Emma Wood Editor . Emily Berg Editor . . Marian Brahm The students who are interested in becoming teachers have a little social organization called the Nu Tau Sigma. This club met regularly, and upon such times as l lallowe'en Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, St. Valentine's Day, and St. Patrick's Day, en- tertaining parties Were held. These were usually enjoyed by one or more invited faculty members. The club took upon itself the task of presenting two plays this year, Not Quite Such a Goose , and Queen of Hearts , both of which were well received in Mason City, as well as in several Iowa towns in this vicinity. The pleasant successful year the club experienced is in a great part due to Miss Mahaffa, the Faculty Adviser. Top Row-E. Woods, Brahm, Mayo, Tageson, B. Woods.

Education has been offered deal- ing in a great number of the many branch- es of study. Every one has been given equal rights. We all had the opportunity to become accustomed to the busy swift- ness of that life we are about to corn- mence. We are indeed fortunate in liv- ing in such a city as ours.

Green singled out to Brady as the little jewish prophylactic limped Lombardoly, after the strain of his spectacular catch. Kellum returned the punt to the fourth green, which left Strong three up and goal to make. At this interval of the game, time was taken out while Gaffney slicked back his hair with Decker's Premium. A small object in the sky could be seen coming closer and closer in the fray, which was to decide the world's Welterweight championship. fWhile this little object is getting closer, l will narrate more of the joustj Warfield crossed over with his right, just in time to cock-the-snook at Boyce, which scores for the defendant. Flatfoot Gilpin was sent into the mix-up to relieve lrish Haggerty, who had just arched a high one into the air, but alas, it hit the beams. Wallace raced the puck neatly to the rival team's goal, but was slightly short by fifteen yards. Coxswain Milt Polien was stroking his boys at a 72 clip, but the frail little fellow was overcome by the camel feet on Heimendinger, fweeks without waterj. At last, it is here-What? Why the little speck in the sky. They are the balloon racers and no one else but Herman Sutherland and Wheezer Grimsley. A roar could be heard in the right bleachers. Many thought the zoo had broken loose, but upon observing the noise it was found only to be Cora reciting Meditative Verse from Emerson to Garms. I-le understood who it was from, but why, ain't it. As the two balloonists crawled from the basket, Mr. Minor began his speech of congratulation to the boys. He stated his appreciation for the four boys who had just finished this perilous flight, but just between you and l, I think Barclay must have been yodeling the giggle soup, or else his banjo eyes were giving way on him, for l'll swear to my dying day that there were only two fellows in that balloon. I clon't want to make the old fellow feel bad, so I'll give him a break this trip. Well anyway the game is over and Ray's tomcat lost the game with three men on and four off, including Nelson and half of the Junior College. Prizes were awarded at the huge and spacious banquet hall at the Salvation Army, in behalf of the famous athletes that took part, such as Blabber Mouth Borman, Bully Friesner, and Hardboiled MacMillan. The boys with the skin you love to touch fon the beakj. Many of the Junior College co-eds were rewarded for their efforts within the past year. The evening's entertainment was wound up with Doc Kline's famous dancing girls, who were fresh from Paris Ctoo freshj. They revealed many of the beauty secrets of shapely legs, wonderful complexions, beautiful hair, flat feet, and dimpled chins. Well, gang, l'll be seeing you. Hoping that some one else may inherit my ability as a telltaler.

Are they all concrete and pavement, or do you have more than your share of mud, rough roads, hills, and fields where there are no roads? The Six-Speed Special, built by International Harvester, meets these adverse conditions in a remarkable degree. Six Speeds Forward and Two Reverse The new Six-Speed Special is a popular-priced I-ton truck with a two-range rear axle- an extra low range ordinarily found only in some of the big heavy-duty trucks. The low range, with its three speeds, is for rough roads, mud, fields, hills, wherever the going is tough. Then there is the high range, with its three speeds, for fast hauling where the roads are good. You convert extra speed into greater power or the greater power into extra speed as conditions demand. The Six-Speed Special is a handsome, easy--riding truck, ideal for everyday hauling whether roads are good or bad. The same easy engine speed gives you 35 miles an hour for good roads or 3M miles an hour for the tough places. That is ten times as much power. IT'S ALL IN TI-IE. TWO-RANGE AXLE. In every feature and detail the new Six-Speed Special measures up to a high standard. It has a heavy frame, long, flexible springs, sturdy construction throughout. Comfortable fully enclosed cab, easy steering. an unusual degree of driver-comfort. International Harvester Co. of America Sales, Show Rooms and Daylight Service Station 23 SIXTH ST. S. E.
