Mason City High School faculty and students had twenty years of this close contact with John MacMillan who faithfully served as teacher and friend of some three thousand students, and as friend and cooperative associate of faculty members. The heart of our entire community was stunned as well as shocked when word was flashed of his wholiy unexpected demise on the evening of August 26, I9-40. Our tribute to John MacMillan is summed up in these few words: l-le was faithful to his trust. Faculty members realized it, his students realized it, and the community recognized it. JAMES RAE, me lf 8 ,v 'Q- R. B. IRONS Jfe fauna 0441 ew: Mr. R, B. Irons, Superintendent of Mason City schools, is a friend of everyone-young and old alike, he greets us with a smile and a word of cheer. Mr. Irons is always interested in what we are doing. We can always call on him for supportgas long as we do the right thing. When we go into his office, it isn't with timidity or dread that we lightly tread over the threshold, but with the sprightly step which we have when we are about to meet a friend. Superintendent Irons has that certain something, combined with administrativeness. We have been guided by him for eleven years. This is sufficient time, we all agree, in which to learn the real values of a person. It would be very hard, if not impossible, to find his equal. It is through his carefully planned educational program that we have the chance of proving to all that we are the champions. We take this opportunity to express our appreciation.

Yfocaiiancal l-uture stenograpners, cabinetemakers, insurance salesmen, chefs, dress and automobile designers interior decorators, architects, and seamstresses were professionally trained in our vocational classes this year.

The members of our chorus, glee club, band, and orchestra were capably directed by our talented music maestros. Vivacious Miss Oulman well deserves an Oscar for so successfully presenting to full houses a clever musical comedy and two delightful class plays. .fa e4 Tramp! Tramp! Trampl This was the plodding juniors and seniors marching through the field of grammar for six long weeks. lt was a hard battle but with the excellent leadership of generallissimos Graves, Sundell, Long, Bright, Naylor, and l-larris, the students came out on top, A highlight of the sophomore literature course was hearing the play, Julius Caesar from records.

These are just a few outstanding memories of the biology, mathematics and chemistry classes. Many days do we recall bolting out of classrooms at 3:lO only to be confronted with the unbearable stench of Mr. Boyce's laboratory where students and pupils alike assembled frequently to concoct their daily assignments. Good-bye, Mr. Chick responded through the M, C, H, S. corridors as our beloved coach and geometry teacher de- parted from our halls of fame. A new idea was introduced by Mr. Williams of the bugology department, as he conducted students to Ames to examine precious specimens, Social Science The economic problems of our country which are of universal interest were solved by the economics and sociology classes under the direction of their new instructor, Mr, Snyder. Whether our thirteen thriving colonies were justified in breaking their ties with our mother country is one of the many questions decided in Mr. Kee's debates. Constitutions of seedling nations were drawn up under the supervision of Mr. Crosen in each of his classes. Miss Pagenhart and Judge endured the trials and tribulations of training the sophomores.

Bittegman D, Albright, D, Putnam, W Burgess S Glau Better late than never is the motto accepted by the sophomore class of l94l. This class formerly would have been in M. C. H. S. a year earlier, but due to the new system of schools in Mason City, removing the ninth grade from senior high into junior high, it arrived o year later. Perhaps because they were the first class to experience this change they have tackled the much waited for high school with a new zest which has given a very promising future to them. However, they did not escape the torture of their dear upper classmates. For after all such superiority just has to have an outlet somewhere and the sophomores proved to be the only ones eligible for the receiving end. As is true in any group there are those few who excel to a higher degree in different fields such as athletics, scholastic ability, music and debate. Football being the first sport of the year brought forth such sophomores as Bill Traub, Mike Tatone, Dick Bailey, Jim Sutherland, and Morris Macer to occupy positions on the varsity squad. Wrestling developed future champions such as Mike Tatone and Bill Traub. Mike already has won the light championship in his first year at M, C. H. S. Varsity got another taste of the sophomore skill during the basketball season with John Holmen and Jim Sutherland substituting for the big five now and then. The highest scholastic ratings of the class were held by Olin Storvick, Bob Powell, Ellen Moore, Bette Phelan, and Alan Pederson, all having reached the super-honor roll. Music offers a wide variety of opportunities to the students and many sophomores have taken advantage of them. ln the vocal department a lovely girls' trio has been discovered composed of Marjory Hall, Ellen Moore, and Eleanor Lewis. In the boys division Tom Jor- genson, Dick Moore, and Dick Burgraff upheld the honor for the boys. ln the band and orchestra first chair in the oboe section was secured by Barbara Johnson and first viola by Corinne Crawley. Both girls are in tenth grade. We will be sure and keep an eye on them in the future. Bette Grunz has proven one of the finest pianists at M. C. H. S. and willingly has accompanied soloists whenever called upon for help. lt's true that this class is the underdog, so to speak, but just watch their smoke in the fight for dear old M. C. H.

Sealed 61644 We, the class of l94l, as we gather together our classmates' pictures for our scrapbook, swell with pride as we think of the achievements our class as a whole has made, sigh with regret at the thought of leaving, to the tune of Mason City, the portals of M. C. l'-l. S. which we so tirnidly entered as freshmen, and laugh with glee as we think of the keen times we've had during the post four years. Miss Helene Bright, our class advisor, holds a high place in our memory, It is with much regret that we say to her- Goodby and thanks a million! ln the various extra curricular activities our class was well represented. Always, whether in scholastic ratings, in music, either vocal or instrumental, in athletics, in dramatics including both casts and staffs, in the journalistic field, in debate, and in other numerous clubs and societies, some member of the senior class held the spotlight. ' Glam The class of '42, after struggling for two years as underclassmen, came into the limelight at last. With Harold Mott as president and Anne Strickland as secretary, the junior class was ably led to a most successful year. The junior representatives in all fields, forged unhaltingly to the front. Jay Brown, Alfonso DiMarco and Dick Mettler made crowns for themselves in basketball as did Alfonso DiMarco, Charles Kiser, and Barr Peterson in football. Mr. Harold Snyder was chosen advisor to the junior class. To guide it in planning the junior-senior banquet and in outlining ideas for the future. lllustrious junior members of the mixed chorus were Mary Ellen l-layes, Audrey Makeever, Harold Mott, Kenneth Johnson, and Alvern Hewitt. ln the band and orchestra those who brought honors to M. C. H. S. were Juanita Beamish, John Kunz, and Stanley Baumgartner. First squad debaters were Marie O'l3rien and John Lundholm, and first team wrestlers were Dave Foster and Bob Gamble. fm. Jxmau swim flaamineruf flaw ' ' The tzverizty most oatstcliztllvzg persrmalitzes of M. C. H. S., as ivefrie elected by popular vote of the entire student body, were selected ow the merits of their scholarship, leadership, character, and the zl'01'th1i'hile activities to which they devoted their time and talents. BILL BARBOUR, governor of last summer's Boys' State, president of l-li-Y and the senior class, and prominent athlete, is also well-renowned for his big brown eyes. EILEEN BRYANT, intellectual Cub pu'ter-to-bedder and president of Quill and Scroll, is an active member of Hi Tri as well as an accomplished pianist. High-stepping drum major LORRAINE JOHNSTON deserves credit also as an illustrious violinist of Mason City's Women's Concert Orchestra. MURIEL PENNY KISER exhibited her prowess in the fine arts displaying her dramatic ability in two class plays as well as singing in the winning girls' sextet, National baritone soloist MURRAY LAWSON enthralled audiences as an understanding father one year and a dashing young hero the next in dramatic productions. GENE OULMAN was picked a favorite by sports authorities and classmates as he not only displayed a dead-eye and sure-foot, but also a quick-wit. Editing the l94l Masonian, singing in the chorus and mixed quartet, maintaining honor roll grades, playing the piano for the Kunz band- these were the things that kept JANET PEARCE out of mischief this year. DAVE SHIPLEY, cheerful senior vice-president, demonstrated spectacular ability in cage activities as well as in razzle-dazzle grid-iron play. Stellar basketball forward, active I-li-Y cabinet member, dynamic drummer-all sum up none other than MR. ROBERT WASS. Sprightly senior secretary, PEGGY YOUNG, led a very outstanding year as accompanist to soloists and small vocal groups, member of the champion girls' sextet, and as basketball queen. Peppy JAY POOEY BROWN is at home not only on the basketball court and the tennis court, but also in the field of mathematics. Threevletter-man FONSl DI MARCO knows many a tale of base, foot, and basket ball to thrill his fellow commercial students after office hours. AUDREY MAKEEVER has sung her way into the hearts of her audiences in the operetta as one of the Nannettes, in the mixed quartet, and madrigal group. Junior class president HAROLD MOTT'S numerous activities include leading roles in the operetta and class play, singing in chorus, mixed and boys' quartets, and acting as a representa- tive at Boys' State last summer. First team debater, versatile MARIE O'BRIEN not only finds time to play in the band and orchestra, but also fiddles in the Mason City Women's Orchestra. As Associate Editor of the l94l Masonian, Junior class secretary, chorus and madrigal group member, and honor roller, ANNE STRICKLAND spent a busy year. One of the charter members of the Hessian haircut club is DICK BURGRAFF, shy sopho- more tenor of the chorus and madrigal group. Merry MARJORY HALL has won widespread recognition for her singing on the renowned sophomore girls' trio, and was an active worker on the Masonian composition staff. Bright BETTE PHELAN, ever present on the super honor roll and effervescent as a debate squad member was a valuable asset to the Masonian composition staff. Coaches are wondering who is going to fill the shoes of JIM SUTHERLAND, all-star athlete in football, basketball, and baseball. aacifi ,Glad Gm M 0. 041. S.

This chorus, our largest ever, is composed of sentimental sophomores, jolly juniors, and sedate C?l seniors, whose lusty voices can be plainly heard echoing through the ventilator shafts every fifth period. Each and every member of the mixed chorusibooming basses, robust baritones, lyric tenors, sonorous contraltos, vibrant mezzos, soaring sopranosfA participated in at least one small group during the year. Those whose voices have withstood the ravages of rooting at close basketball games are upholding our honors in the state and national contests. Traditional caroling and appearances before many local organizations together with its contribution to the defense program by singing for the National Guard have marked a very busy year. Through the generosity of our many friends welcome contributions to our contest fund were received. For regional competition the selec- tions Emitte Spiritum and My Love Dwelt In A Northern Land were sung by the a capella choir. One of the highlights of the singing season was the journey to Des Moines of several ol our members to participate in the Iowa Singing Festival under the direction of Nobel Cain. Here the curtain falls on this year's chorus and the chords of their choral arrangements fade in the distance. lst row Baumgartner, Morehouse, Crawford, Kirsch, Quenrud, M. Hanson, B.

In every school there are certain organizations which bring honor to the school and merit the pride and respect of everyone. Our band is one of these. The marching band, led by two drum maiors and five high-stepping maiorettes, started the season by the display of unique formations and some of the finest marching Mason City has ever seen. This was due largely to Lee Chrisman, our new director, whose hard work brought both him and us much applause, Many a lull in the basketball games was filled by rousing strains of Mason City, from Mr. Chrismon's pep band. This year the concert band participated in the largest concert ever presented by the high school department, The band, orchestra, chorus and glee club all took part. Most impressive was the last number as the band and chorus joined in singing the Crusaders Hymn. Bob Wass, senior, was perhaps the most illustrious member of the band, Not only was he the first drummer and solo contestant in the regional contest in St. Paul, but he was also a member of the first string of the Mighty Mohawks, who fought to retain their championship. Popular vote elected to the presidency John l-lanson, senior and first chair trornbonist. Juanita Beamish and John Kunz, juniors, held first choirs in the French horn and cornet sections, respectively, and were also solo contestants in the regional contest. The band started in January to rehearse contest numbers. During the last few weeks before May l5, lo, and l7, the Wagner Mozart Music l-lall became a second home for the hard working musicians. The band may bring many honors to Mason City High School, but for whatever it attains, credit should go to the source, Carleton Stewart, our hardworking director, who carefully leads the bond on to contest victory.

Glzcfaeiha Every Monday and Thursday afternoon at three-thirty the singing of the strings, the mournful cry of the oboe, the resonant peal of a horn, the vibrant tone of a flute, and the beating of drums rang through the Music Hall. The orchestra was rehearsing. Carleton Stewart was ably conducting this seventy piece organization toward superior ratings in the contest where they played Silvana, Gypsy Boron, and Weber's Waltz, If a certain movement was not quite right, Stew demonstrated with his baton how the fiddle should have played it. lf the violins executed a particularly fine passage, pleased, he would smile at Concert Mistress Lor- Q raine Johnston. Miss Marjorie Smith was largely responsible for the excellent string section and the excep- tionally fine small string groups, namely, trios, quartets, quintets, and sextets.

There were basket- ball, volley ball, baseball, and archery teams. Wasn't the senior basketball team o honey? Bombardment was tun, too, but oh!!! Archery was popular with everyone.

Spacing Spam Mohawks turned out in big nume bers for track, golf and baseball when spring rolled around. Jerry Harrer and Bob Moen, the links stars, the baseball team, led by Bob Yanko- vich and Al Di Marco, and the track squad, with Merlin Dodge the maine stay, all rose to great heights to help make Mason City the sports center ot the state, 5l Q sf , ,, 1 'Q' ' 4 W 3: gi grail? vi gi t 5 ' ' ii no . ., , .. - Q r S W r V Lett to Rightw-Chxk Sutherland, Rutt, Oulrnan, Corbctt, Barbour, Mocer, Easton, Shepard Woodward, Yankovich, Cahalan Peterson Beckman Waddell When the l94O football season opened, the Mohawks presented one of the best balanced and most powerful teams ever to step onto a Mason City gridiron. Only a tie with West Waterloo marred a perfect record. This year the Mohawks played in the newly-formed big seven conference, winning three games and tying one to take second place in the league standings. Coach Chick Sutherland and his assistants, Bud'f Suter, molded o fast, track team of the ball-hungry, eager players who greeted them at the start of the season. ln the front ranks of the powerhouse were Locke Easton, Bill Barbour, Fred l-lulhern, Morris Macer, Barr Peterson, Dick Kreici, Art Woodward, Melvin Rutt, Jim Miller, and Dick Oulman who formed on almost impossible forward wall. The backfield, composed of Al Di Marco, Dave Shipley, Bob Yanko- vich, and Bill Cahalan with Bud Burgess, Jim Sears, Clinton Morphew, and Jim Sutherland as capable reserves, was of terror to opposing teams, both on land and in the air. Proof of the Mohawks' ability is their representation on the all-state squads, Bill Barbour was a unanimous choice as an end an the first team and Bob Yonkovich, captain of the high school eleven, earned a second team backfield post. Honorable mention was received by Jim Sears and Art Woodward, each a star at his position. Opening the season away from home, the Mohawks scalped Rochester, Minn, l3-O, to start down the victory trail amid cheers and flying banners, The team made its debut to Mason City by thrilling the spectators with a razzle-dazzle victory over East Sioux City, 20-l4, which broke the Raiders' three-year winning streak, Students land probably adult fansl were delighted to find a newly-constructed student section on the west side of the field, Qc fue .... e-flaw ,awk 0. , , , 5 , ,.g.Q,rfLg5 L x Ay x ag E7 by lv ,, -Y :Z- gggxfym L , Eiszig ra.. is Ex--4-A V .. ...- 1 ,..., '.,.t.y. kg . is 5343, .gn 2, ' f 5 4 N Q.. -mu ,Ui -haw : ,. ,..,gf,.,.,.:... -,,:.- 4-3 ..... , .

Everyone who saw the East Des Moines game saw the game of his life 7 never before or again could there be a football finish like that with the score knotted at 7-7 in the lost ten seconds, the visitors from the capitol city, turned to a passing attack. On the last play of the game, Bill Barbour blocked a desperate Des Moines pass, caught the ball and raced 60 yards for the winning touchdown, as the gun went off. Four thousand fans really went wild that night. After conquering Grinnell, l4-6, the high school team made Fort Dodge bite the dust, l4-O, in the fourth and last big seven game of the year. This was the final game of the year, as snow and icy blasts made playing conditions impossible for the Mohawks to meet Charles City, a traditional foe. The tearn's record was seven battles won and one tie. 4 Scofzoi i. M. C. iReservesJ 6, Eldora O. 2. M. C. I3, Rochester, Minn. O. . ,kts Wi'.r,- 3. M. C. 20, East Sioux City l4. 4. M. C. 6, W.

B The l94O-'4l edition of the Mohawks, defending State champions, found a tough schedule awaiting them at the beginning of the season. Each of their foes, the best competition in the state, was possessed with more than the usual determination to win - they wanted to beat the champs. However, the Grimsley men proved their ability to carry on where the champs left off, winning 20 of their 24 games and extending their winning streak to 38 games before finally losing to Davenport. The team averaged well above the six-foot mark with the giant Oulman brothers, Gene and Dick, all stater Bill Barbour, sharpshooters Bob Wass and Jay Brown, and Dave Shipley, star defense man, seeing first team action. The Mohawk war-whoop resounded throughout the state as the red-shirted warriors slaughtered Lo Crosse 49-24 in the season opener. Dowling high school, Catholic state champs, also fell to the tune of 35-22. Hitting the road, the high school team buried the hatchet in the scalps of West Waterloo, East Sioux City, and Central City, before returning to headquarters to trounce Muscatine, 42-20, for their 38th consecutive victory, The Mohawks met Davenport in their next game, and that was really a battle. Up and down the floor the two teams raced, playing at top speed the entire contest, But when the final gun sounded and the smoke cleared, the scoreboard showed Mason City 30, the Blue Devils, 32. Fans remained in their seats, stunned by the out- come. But when they came back to realization, they knew that here was a team with a spirit that could be bent but never broken, even in a game as heart-breaking as the one they had just witnessed. West Minneapolis felt the full wrath of the Mohawks in the next game, however, and Marshalltown, too, fell surprisingly easy, 36-l6. The Iniuns won their second big four meet from East Waterloo in a close battle and then managed to overcome a fighting quintet of orange-clad Charles Cityans, Mason Cityans, accustomed to not exactly drab basketball suits, nevertheless, were shocked by the flashy red, white, and blue suits in which the Mohawks scalped Fort Dodge, The dudes really dazzled 'em with the duds. And those red shoes! My, my! Evidently Austin, Minn., and La Crosse were awe-struck, too, as they sank before the colorful tribe. Fans had a chance to exercise their vocal chords and they almost brought the roof down at Roosevelt field- house as the team eked out a 27-25 victory over Webster City. The swivel-headed and open-mouthed followers had a big workout. Wow, what a game. Traveling to the eastern part of the state, the Mohawks again bowed to Davenport and also to Muscatine. Their failure to connect at the free throw line cost them each game by a four point margin. However, the Grims- ley-men bounced back to winning form by conquering West Waterloo, 46-27, Charles City, and East Waterloo in their fifth big four win. The Mohawks racked up 5l points against Austin, their biggest score on the regular season ledger. When the Fort Dodge team invaded the fieldhouse, they again found the Mohawks too big an assignment. Mason City's 37-31 victory again gave the big four crown to the high school team, two-time conquerors of each of the conference teams. Although they lost a game to lowa City, the Mohawks finished the season with a typical victory over Oska- loosa, the last victim of the regular season. Bill Barbour, Dick Oulman, Dave Shipley, Bob Wass, and Gene Oulman, all seniors, will really be missed next year.

Mr. Ashenfelter couldn't imagine 7:50 French classes sans a single tardy, and Miss Carlton probably couldn't withstand the shock if all papers were in on time, Mrs, Titus would suffer a conversational bankruptcy if no one was a trifle trite, and should a sudden silence fall on study hall, Miss Ott would wonder! Mr. Minor would like to meet a class which could average 75 on exam day, and Miss Wolf bids for no snitching in the audience.

This year as usual, lhere was a great deal of agitation for a woman member, but clue to better political methods or perhaps some other appeal on the part of the boys, an all boy council was again chosen. l-leaded by Ken Kew as president and only two year member, the council for the first semester consisted of John Donnelly, and Bill Taylor, sophomores, and George Gooder, and Hurschel O'Brien, freshmen. Acting as Dean Rugland's advisors in regard to student opinion and problems, the council also had for one of its duties the job of appointing the staff for the Masonian. J. C.'s annual and much-looked forward-to Turkey l-lop was also planned by the council, as was the spring banquet and dance at the Country Club. All students were agreed that these two dances were the outstanding affair of the year. One change was made in the council during the second semester when Helen Wilts, Q freshman, replaced Hurschel O'Brien who was no longer in school. -'Q hw QA. 1 Y S ,'Q- li S 61 A . in .Q 'D ll f' ru l -t sig Harlan Alitz Joyce Allan Norman Alsbury Lorraine Anderson Roger Anderson Harold Arvsdson Ruth Aucker Vaughn Balnter Patrrcla Ball Elrnor Bamford Duck Bastnan Duva Baumgardner Marvyl Beck Claire Bemrss Bull Benson Bull Blanchard Lorna Brenton Irving Boyd Srdney Brewer Vlrginra Brlnqoll Bill Burke Phyllrs Cabell Royce Carstens Gene Clark Charlotte Clay Lucille B.

Heading the staff this year as editor-in-chief was brisk, efficient Ken Kew, who not only took charge of planning the general layout of the book, but also aided in the circulation staff and in sports writing. Assisting him in his duties was sophomore Phyllis Harmon. Of course a yearbook isn't a yearbook without stories and this year it was Charlene l-lorn, Jean Baumgartner, Lillian Olson, and Marvyl Beck who did most of the feature writing and who kept a calendar of the year's activities. Helen Wilts, a freshman, successfully headed the circulation staff. Working with her were Pat Ball, Phyllis Harmon and Alyce Nelson. Speaking of the latter two and Lola Pine reminds one of the long and tedious hours they spent in typing these pages and getting them ready to go to press. John Donnelly as sports editor and Gene Payne as staff photographer also did their shore in making this yeor's Masonian a yearbook to be proud of. Top row --C. Sweetser, L. Stueland, J. Haskins, B.

Wag anal Magna This year Wig and Mosque introduced a new-and extremely successful 7 method of membership, Each sophomore member sponsored a freshman understudy who, in turn, would become a full-fledged member the succeeding year. Throughout the school year several plays were directed by students. The first of these was Oli Not' at AHF, by Mrs. Frank Carrington, formerly of Mason City. Wig and Masque harl the privilege of being the first group ever to dramatize this play. The Mayor and the Manicure, Sauce for the Goslingsf' and The Rehearsal were also presented. Stage Door was the group's largest undertaking of the year, Speakers at the semi-monthly meetings included Mrs. Louis Wolf on The Art of Char- acterization, Dave Kaufman on current Broadway plays and Jacqueline Hanson who demon- strated stage make-up. ln the spring the annual tea was given for members and parents.

With Miss Myrtle Oulman as the capable director of the three-act comedy, the cast of thirty, which played before the largest house ever to attend a junior college play, was the largest in J, C.'s history. The entire action took place in the Footlights Club, a home for actresses in New York City. Throughout minor but vital incidents depicting the joys, loves, and heartaches of the young actresses, ran the story of Terry Randall played by Lorna Brenton and Jean Maitland enacted by Jacqueline Hanson. Jean became a glamorous Hollywood film star while Terry stolidiy remained on the stage, meanwhile attempting to forget her thwarted love affair with the radical Keith Burgess, played by Bill Taylor, by seeing the understanding producer, David Kingsley, portrayed by Jim Swab. Lovely clothes and excellent make-up enhanced the set, and every role, no matter how large or how small, was so splendidly portrayed that Stage Door can be put down as one of M, C. J, C,'s most remembered productions. Radio P1444 The second year of radio as an activity of junior college saw several new and interesting developments take place. In January ten professional scripts were purchased from the Lester Script Company of Hollywood, California. These scripts included adaptations of famous stories, dramatized his- torical incidents, and dramatized versions of well-known poems and ballads. Another very interesting development was the recording of the radio programs before the broadcasts. This practice enabled the players to hear themselves broadcast and thus they could effectively hear the weaknesses and defects in their speech and in their acting and remedy these defects. Charlene Horn, a sophomore, was in charge of producing these radio plays for the year. lt was her duty to obtain the plays, to cast them, and to call rehearsals. The plays presented this year have been of varied types. The first was a Spanish comedy, By Their Words Ye Shall Know Them, and the second was the Maupassant classic, The Necklace. Both of these plays were adapted for radio by Don Sobieske. Next a group of radio plays by the well-known script writer, Peter Dixon, was presented. These included an amusing comedy, The Ham and the Heroine, an unusually written skit, Want Ads, and a burlesque on mystery thrillers, The Murder Mystery. The last two of these were directed by Phyllis Harmon. Two plays, adopted by Charlene Horn, were then presented. The first of these was The Acid Test, a dialogue between two women, and the second was a miracle play, The Great Rushing of Wings. The last play of the first semester was, Singapore Spider, adapted and directed by Roger Patrick. Throughout the year Miss Myrtle Oulman acted as adviser and often as director for these plays which appeared every other week over the Junior College Interlude. .Bella pdl Umeqa If one would ask a junior college dramatist what the greatest honor he could receive would be, his answer would be Delta Psi Omega, which is the national honorary dramatic fraternity for junior colleges. To become a member of this honorary fraternity, a student must have displayed a definite interest and talent in college dramatics. This year Cast 86, which included the four active sophomore members: Jean Baumgartner, Charlene Horn, Jim Swab, and Bill Thompson, and the faculty adviser, Miss Myrtle Oulman, took into its ranks eight new members. Seven sophomores, Robert Petitt, Ken Kew, Mary Giere, Jacquelyn Hanson, Kay Shaffer, Phyllis Harmon, and Clark Sweetser were pledged along with one freshman, Lorna Brenton, These eight students earned their right to membership by the outstanding work they have done in dramatics both on and off stage while in junior college. Each initiate had to pass successfully the entrance requirements prior to their initiation. To pass these requirements one had to know the Greek alphabet and had to have a thorough knowledge of the fraternity and of the origin of the drama. An oral example of his dramatic skill was also required of each pledge. The secret initiation then took place in the lotter part of April. Officers of Delta Psi Omega for this year were: Bill Thompson, president, Charlene Horn, vice president, Jim Swab, secretaryj and Jean Baumgartner, treasurer. Top Row Row Row Row -C. Sweetser, R.

Gftaaud Sunrise serenades at 7:50 and four o'clock fantasias were the Junior College chorus' weekly contribution to the students' cultural life. Even though headquarters were moved to the fourth floor, strains of music were heard in the halls below. Under the able direction of Miss Ellen M, Smith, the group of 40 students carried out a successful year. Attending the Fort Dodge festival in November was among their first activities. They ioinecl the high school chorus to present the annual Christmas assembly. ln May they attended the state festival at Drake university. The collegians with Clark Sweetser as soloist sang the unique Ballad for Americans tor many clubs, business groups and conventions during the year. Sixteen of the Junior College Interlude radio programs were planned by the vocal depart- ment. Those in charge throughout the year were Rosalyn Kopecky, Lola Pine, Pat Ball, Marvyl Beck, Marlys Rawson, and Nancy l-lalsor. The Junior College madrigal group demonstrated for the predominant pedagogues at the teachers' convention in March. ,--,----, .-5. - V V ' I ' W -in-7'-Veer--W S- sr ,. reef' .

Zzaoidail Siofuf Although the l94O Trojan football team had a mediocre season, winning only four games, tying two, and losing three, it showed possibilities of power and drive in its defeat of Hibbing and Austin. The Trojans in losing their first game at Burlington lost also the use of a number of first string players, among them, Clark Sweetser, who suffered o broken ankle. After being de- feated by Graceland and Worthington, the Trojans held Luther B to o scoreless tie, then defeated Austin, Waldorf, and Rochester. At this point the winning streak was broken by a scoreless tie with Fort Dodge, then in a surge of power and deceptiveness they upset all the dope and defeated the highly touted Hibbing team. This was the last year of Judge Grimsley's association with J. C. football, but all the men enjoyed working with him and under Judge the reams have had a great record winning five state championships in seven years. This year the addition of Bill Moore to the coaching staff helped them over the rough spots, and we only hope that the succeeding coaching can do as well, Zlaiufdall Skeidm CLARK SWEETSER-Sophomore Although crippled, this hardshifting blocking back proved to be a stone wall on defense. JACK HASKINS-Sophomore A great center defensively and offensively, it was with his knowledge of football that the other team was doped out at half time. JACK McGRANE-Sophomore A shifty, fast runner, Jack helped to put pep into the team when they bogged down, he also punted them out of trouble. BILL TAYLOR-Sophomore The hard-luck man of the team. Bill suffered cracked ribs and strained shoul- ders, but turned in some fine football. DICK FAIRBANKS-Freshman The speed-ball of the team. He turned in fine performances at wing-back, and should be a great addition to next year's team. CECIL MOTT-Sophomore Small but tricky Cec really earned the honor of being elected captain and most valuable player. BILL PATTON-Sophomore The man who made the first tackle of the year. Slowecl by a badly burned arm, he came back to spark the defense. LeROY ANDERSON-Sophomore Back with a repeat performance of last year's good playing, he caught the pass that won the Hibbing game. HURSCHEL O'BRlEN-Freshman A wrestler who had played very little football before, his terrific drive and place kicking were prominent in all games. GILBERT CHRISTIANSEN-Freshman A good passer and kicker, Gil really put the passes where they were wanted in the Worthington fray. RAY MCGOWAN-Freshman One of Judge's finds, a big fast end who enjoyed nothing more than throwing a hard clean block or tackle. JAMES BROWNfFreshman A hard hitter, Tiger showed Luther that it doesn't pay to make him mad. JOHN DONNELLY4Sophomore An outstanding utility lineman who started several games and turned in starring performances in all positions he played. ORA OSTRANDER-Freshman Pinky played blocking back, but starred in the fullback position in the Rochester and l-libbing games. .il Q' A 5, 'I fi W. ri-if zfffriiwfl ts-fTm,z at iv . ,. g ev.. 4 ' Ns, ,... . l .,. gif?

The season was highlighted by a 55-38 rout of the cloud scraping Fort Dodge Junior College which won the l94l State Championship and placed three men on the all state team. Another bright spot was the trouncing handed to lowa State Teachers College freshmen, who perenially have powerful teams. The Mason City squad included Jim Challas, Max Neal, Bill Nettleton, Doyle Boutelle and Dale Fox at forwards, Jack Phillipe, Ken Kew and Bill Patton as centers, with Jack McGrane, Russ Felix, Tom Colloton, LeRoy Anderson and Bob Gustafson playing the guard positions. This proved to be the final year of Trojan activity under the coaching of Clayton Chick Sutherland, as he was promoted to Freshman coach at Iowa State College. The Trojans emphasized the fast break throughout the season but could also play a set offense comparable to any team. WJ The second year of golf in Mason City Junior College proved that the administration was not wrong in placing it as an extra curricular activity. A strong l94O team twice defeated Albert Lea. The Junior College tournament held for the first time here was won by Anne Casey, a girl golfer of state and nationwide fame. Throughout the year Gene Payne was consistently playing the No. l position while Anne Casey, Ed Clouse, Pat Laughlin, and Dick Bohn battled for the other spots. The only men not reporting for the l94l season were Pat Laughlin and Ed Clause. New candidates who bid fair to take the vacated positions and perhaps give the veterans a run for their money included Dale Fox, Ken Kew, Bill Patton, Jim Challas, Jack Delaney, and Jerry Laughlin, brother of Pat. The l94l squad was just as capable and hard to beat as were the team who preceded them. Golf is definitely moving towards the top in the college sports world. 7emu3i Three years of competition and still undefeated. That's the enviable record earned by the net stars of Mason City Junior College. Paced last season by Speed McKenzy, John Nutton, Dean Peterson and John Haaheim, the Trojan tennis warriors raced through opponents from lowa and southern Minnesota. lt is highly possible that the l94l squad will protect the spotless record of our J. C. be- cause although the entire first team was lost by graduation last year, the prospects for l94l were good. Candidates for positions on the team included Jack Phillipe, all North Iowa Cham- pion, Gil Christianson, prominent city star, and various other familiar names who will strive to uphold the tradition of the Trojans. Win if it's possible, but if you lose, do so like real sports. A tennis tournament open to Junior College students was one of the highlights of the year as the Trojans met on the court with cries of point, game, set and match ringing in their ears. Tom Glanville was named manager and his task included booking of the outstanding matches played in state competition.

C. J. C. has fully cooperated with the federal defense program by offering as a part of its curriculum the Civilian Pilot Training course sponsored and financed by the Civilian Aeronautics Authority. Originally adopted for the purpose of increasing the number of civilian pilots in the U. S. and stimulate air interest, the C. P. T. program has now been extended to include a method of selecting and training possible air corp pilots. During the summer of l94O, thirty college students embarked upon the first C. P. T. at M. C. J. C. H. H. Boyce and G. H. Keister instructed the ground course of 72 hours covering flight history, navigation, meteorology, and flight theory. The flight course was under the direction of S. O. Hugelen and Max Bruns. The only requirements needed to become a student were that he be in almost perfect physical condition, and must either be an enrolled Sophomore at Junior College, or have com- pleted at least two years of college elsewhere. lt was a long, hard, but enjoyable period before the cubs became pilots. Starting with banking, then proceeding with landings, then maneuvers, and finally precision flying and land- ings, the flight training course was always the first interest of the student. The two greatest days were the day of the stuclent's solo cross-country flight and the final examination day. During the first semester of the l940-4l school year, lO more students began the course after completion of the summer course. They graduated early in January and now lO more students began the course. Whether these 50 pilots become a part of the U. S. defense units or continue as civilian pilots, they are now a member of the lO0,000 civilian pilots in the U. S., who stand ready to aid American progress in peace or conflict. Saab! To see that all work and no play is the exception and not the rule in Junior College, a social program has been set up that not only means fun for all, but also brings about bette: acquaintance between the students. This social program is worked out and its success largely depends upon a joint committee composed of the College Y and the Collegiate social chairmen and by the student council. Now let's turn back the clock to last September shortly after school had started. About 265 students, a large percentage of them from out of town, were just starting classes and were wondering how they could ever have a chance to learn to know all of their new classmates. This problem was solved by a junior college mixer which was held at the Y. M. C. A. for students and faculty. By the time there had been a grand scramble to see who could get the most signatures Ca very good way of finding out the name of that cute blonde you noticed in study halll, and Hank Hook had interviewed several of the new students Man on the Corner style, everyone felt like old friends and when the dancing began, the mixing really started. Then came that special time of the year-cheering crowds, marching bands, flying tackles-you guessed it- the football season. Collegiates and College Y did their share in furnishing dances and parties for after the games. Came November and with It the first big formal party of the year, the annual Turkey Hop at the Surf ballroom in Clear Lake. The Student Council really did a good job on this dance and not a girl bemoaned the fact, that no corsages had been ruled when they saw the pretty formals and heard the smooth music of Lynn Kerns. Just before the old year ended, College Y had a Last Chance Dance to give the gals their last chance for leap year dates. Needless to say, the event drew a record crowd which proves that the girls weren't ones to let a chance like that slip through their fingers. At the end of the first semester a fun night was held at the Y. M. C. A. As the students jived to the tunes of the latest recordings and blissfully dunked doughnuts in hot chocolate, they forgot that horrible exam week which had just passed by. Red, white, and blue was the patriotic color scheme for the Collegiate-College Y formal party of February 2l. Always a big event because it is here that those chosen by the students as the most representative are named, this year's dance live up to all expectations. Winding up this year's social activities was the annual dinner dance which took place at the Mason City Country Club in May. U if Qiwx x EE .... , .
