The members of the Staff have worked hard and have had some despairing moments, but the fact that many others have been aiding in the work has made the task lighter for them. A hearty thanks is therefore sincerely expressed to those teachers and students who have so willingly done what they could to assist in coni’ piling this year's Antler, as it has meant so much to those directly concerned. We hope not only that this book will serve to bring back happy memories to former students, but that it also may picture in some way the school life and the spirit at Minnehaha Academy to those who are interested in it and who have willingly done what they could that such an institution might exist. To Mr. A . L . S k o o g President of the Hoard of Directors whose unlimited services, conscientious work, and sincere interest have meant so much to the success of the school, we gratefuly dedicate this second Antler. A. L. skooc; Seven •1 THEO. W. ANDERSON Eight Exactly a decade has passed since Minnehaha Academy first opened its doors. We scarcely imagined then that within ten years the first building would have a substantial addition and a new structure would be erected larger than the main building. Less than a dozen students gathered for our first chapel service. Wc did not then expect to have by this time an annual student body of over four hundred, and an alumni association numbering over six hundred. These figures indicate some phases of the growth oj the school. No less significant are the many and varied student activities, including debating, athletics, journalism, and several branches of Christian service. In these activities the Antler occupies a deservedly prominent place. Most of all ue value the spirit that prevails at Minnehaha Academy. It is an atmosphere of friendship and helpfulness radiated by both students and teachers. The Christian character of the school is not forgotten in any phase of the work. We emphasize scholarshipt because that is fundamental in any educational work. We inculcate discipline, because no school can do effective work without due order. But the inner qualities of any institution are the real touchstone of its value, and our supreme aim is therefore to promote genuinely Chris- ideals. —Theodore Wilbur Anderson.

OBERG Ten FACULTY OUR TEACHERS During the time that we have been at Minnehaha Academy, we have learned to know our teachers as men and women possessing true Christian principles, which they have sought to implant into our lives. It is impossible to estimate the jar-reaching influence that their unselfish Christian lives exert over us; but it is certain that the shifting and doubtful life oj many a student has been given an inspiration to live more nobly. We shall ever be in a debt of gratitude to our faithful instructors jor the help and guidance as well as knowledge they have given us. —The Graduating Class oj 1923. THEODORE W.

Twenty-two SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Time is not a bird, but it surely lias wings. Since the clay we entered M. A. as “Freshies , time has flown as never before. A retrospective view of time spent here leaves with us a feeling of regret that our school clays should have passed so quickly; hut there still remains the joy of knowing that these days spent at M. A. have been happy ones. They have been filled brimful of the most pleasant memories we shall ever have had occasion to store away. That timid, but at the same time, proud and thrilled feeling with which we first entered Minnehaha as Freshmen cannot be expressed and will never be forgotten. In this class there was a feeling of unity as in no other class. The pluck of its members showed itself when they entered into a debate with the Sophomore class, upholding the affirmative of the question. Resolved: That the U. S. should not intervene in Mexico. The class at this time had to taste defeat at the hands of the Sophomores. As a diversion from that unsolvable Algebra, unfathomable Science, burdensome History with its dry dates, tiresome English, or other languages even more tiresome or difficult, the class arranged a pow-wow. Here the entertaining talents of the “Freshies” were brought out by their numerous stories, keen jokes, and c heerful singing. The following September brought us back to school as Sophomores. We now felt just a little as if we owned the school. Our greatest delight was found in watching those students who were to compose the class we had just left. The Sophomores showed themselves active in every phase of school life. A literary society was formed within the class, which proved very interesting and helpful to its members. Our class also took upon itself the task of editing an issue of the school paper. This issue was second to none. Feeling that the year would not be quite complete without a class get-to-gether, a picnic supper was arranged on May 20. 1921. No one would dare deny the good time reported by the “Sophs.” It is said that history repeats itself; so did the pleasures, exciting times, and even the exams of former years to us as Juniors. The vim of our class was noticed in every school activity or other movement within the school. Several gave a great deal of their time to the editing of the Quiver, one of the class members even attaining the place of editor-in-chief. On April 19, 1922. through the courtesy and hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. E. Swenson of St. Paul, who opened their beautiful home to the class, the Juniors gave the Senior class such a banquet as only this class was capable of doing. In the fall of 1922 we returned to our work, feeling that we were reaching the climax of our days at Minnehaha. The enlargement of the Quiver was the first noticeable act of the managing hand of the 1923 class. Ticaity-thrcc Enjoyable evenings were spent both at the girls and the boys get-to-gether parties, given in honor of the new students and the members of the faculty. These were followed shortly after by a Hallowe’ens party also given by the class. We found that our time was well taken up by the many activities such as debating, athletics, journalism, literary societies, the glee club, and also the school chorus, not mentioning our studies. After the first semester a new feature was added to our work, that of publishing the Antler. This task was enjoyed by all. Our school song, so enthusiastically sung by all and our inspiring rally days have been great instruments in keeping up the school spirit. Daily routine and classroom duties which might have proven irksome have been made interesting and pleasant by the cheery ways of our instructors. Remembering that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, the class arranged an April Fools party, at which a novel program, games, and a delicious lunch were enjoyed by all. At the time of this writing there is a general buzz among the Seniors. It is all about the Junior-Senior banquet which is to be held the 27th of April. Just at this time there is also another event which all are waiting for with keen interest. This is the big annual debate with North Park College Academy, to be held April 20th. The class feels honored in knowing that both of our teams are composed entirely of Seniors and that the two debates which have already been held have been decided in favor of our school. Our Minnehaha days are soon at an end, but as we go forth into the school of experience, we will always look back upon our Alma Mater with the deepest love and gratitude for all we have received while here. We know that this school has meant more to us than we will ever be able to express in words. M. Elvira Mel I bye, ‘23.

Thirty BUSINESS DEPARTMENT ALFRED PETERSON......................President ROBERT ALLEN.........................Vice President LILLIAN LARSON........................Secretary GEORGE JACOBSON......................Treasurer The Business Department of Minnehaha Academy was opened at the same time as the Academic Department . A large class has graduated from it each year. It has sent out many young men and women who are competent and diligent workers in the business world. There have been students not only from all over the Northwest but also from Nebraska, Illinois, California, Michigan and other states, and they have chosen Minnehaha Academy as the best school for business training under the direction of competent teachers. As the department has grown from year to year it has been necessary to increase the number of teachers. During this year the instructors that have taught in this department are Mr. E. N. Oberg, Mr. R. N. Lundstrom, Mrs. S. V. Nelson, and President T. W. Anderson. At the head of the Business Department is Mr. E. N. Oberg who has instructed classes in Commercial Law, Shorthand, Penmanship, Office Training, and Salesmanship. The subjects that have been taught by Mr. Lundstrom are Bookkeeping, Commercial Arithmetic, Business English, and Rapid Calculation. Mrs. Nelson has had charge of classes in Typewriting, Shorthand, and Spelling. Once a wreek the entire class has met under the direction of President T. W. Anderson. Then the cares of daily studies have been laid aside and forty-five minutes have been devoted to Bible study. The students have looked forward to this period as a time of rest and spiritual inspiration. The equipment of the department has also been increased. It consists of twenty typewriters of the latest models, an adding machine, a dictaphone, a mimeograph, filing cabinets, modern bank and office equipment, and other material which is necessary for business training. Larger quarters have been required due to the greater number of students who attend this department for each year. Nearly the whole second floor in the Main Building is used. There is a large recitation room, a study hall, typewriting rooms, and a smaller room used for various purposes. Tliirty-onc There are a large number of the Academic students who are taking one or more subjects in the Business Department. This has proved to he a very satisfactory plan to the students as they then have not only the high school education hut also a little business training which will he of value in whatever work they undertake to do. Students may register in the Business Department at different periods during the school term, namely in September, November, and January. Those who have not completed their work before commencement are permitted to graduate at the usual time provided a pledge is signed which obliges them to complete the course before the following January. As there is only one graduation each year, this is a very favorable plan. Now that the year is almost at its close, the graduating class of the Business Department wishes to take this opportunity to extend its appreciation to the instructors for their untiring efforts and to all who have helped make it possible for us to attend such a school as Minnehaha Academy.

Thirty-three BIBLE INSTITUTE PAUL CASSEL..............................President JOHN LIND................................Vice President AMY NESS.................................Secretary MILTON OPSAHL............................Treasurer For some time the Mission people of the Northwest have felt the need of having a place where young men and women could go to get a broader view of the Book of hooks, a deeper interest in Christian service, and a more thorough training, in order that they might become leaders in the Sunday School, Young People’s societies, and in other branches of work, as well as prepare for larger fields at home or in foreign lands. Accordingly it was decided to open up such a department at Minnehaha Academy. The class in the Bible Institute which now graduates met for the first time on October 3, 1921. It has now completed the full course which consists of two terms six months each, commencing the first week in October and ending the last week in March. The various classes are taught by some of the Swedish Mission ministers of the Twin Cities, and also by a few of the Academy teachers. Each instructor gives one lecture a week of one and one half hours. Two are delivered every forenoon thus giving those who wish to work in the afternoons an opportunity to do so. Most of the subjects are taught in English but in a few classes the Swedish language is used. During this course the subjects that have been taught are as follows: Pentateuch, Job, Psalms, Major Prophets, Minor Prophets, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Romans, Ephesians, I and II Timothy, I and II Peter, I, II, III John, and Revelation. Those studied in addition to these books of the Bible are Hebrew History, Church History, Practical and Personal Work, Biblical Introduction, Teachers’ Training, Missions and Mission Methods, Christian Fundamentals, and Singing. The students have not only learned these things, but they have also put them into practical use. They have attended evangelistic meetings during special campaigns in the Twin Cities, visited hospitals, had charge of services every other Friday night at the Scandinavian Union Mission, visited the homes of those children who go to the Bethlehem Sunday School, and some have gone out over Sunday to preach in different places. Many have had an opportunity to testify for their Lord and Savior, and this has been a great help to them as well as to others. Our hope and prayer is that from the Bible Institute may go out many young men and women who will devote their lives to the service of the Lord. P. C., ’23. Thirty-four iNawitfVdaa oisnw MUSIC DEPARTMENT The School of Music at Minnehaha Academy has the proud distinction of having graduated a number of teachers who are pursuing successful careers in various parts of the country. The chief reasons for its success are its high standards under the capable directorship of Professor Jos. E. Burns together with the other instructors, who possess ability and are personally interested in the success of their students. The Music Department offers instruction in piano, voice, violin, harmony, and history of music. The first one and the last two of these are taught by Professor Burns. Miss Wilson aids him in giving piano lessons. Vocal lessons are given by Mr. Hultgren, and Miss Ackerlund is instructor of violin. Of all arts music is probably the most dependent upon technical exactness, methodical study, nicety of expression, and order. In most influential Colleges of the United States music is now being studied generally from the four following points of view: theory of music, music appreciation, applied music, and general musical activities. Theory of music deals with harmony, sight reading, and ear training, as well as rudiments and general theory, while music form and history are included in music appreciation. Applied music covers instruction in piano, voice, or violin, and to general activities belong chorus, glee club, and orchestra. Chorus work is the most popular branch of music activity in the school. Most of the music selected by Professor Burns for use in the chorus is of a sacred character. Sacred texts together with worthy music whether hymn time, chant, anthem, or aria attract and hold the attention and interest of people when properly presented. It is one of the most practical and effective means of teaching sight reading and of acquiring efficiency in chorus singing. Practical knowledge of this form of music is a valuable community asset. Sacred music serves also as a medium by which religious education may somewhat be acquired. The religious belief of youth today may be in some measure shaped by the hymns or tunes learned or heard sung. The desire to sing the best songs whether they he patriotic, secluar, or of sacred nature should be the heritage of our young people as they leave our schools. President Harding quoted at one time, “I am in favor of placing the government squarely behind the nation-wide effort to bring music into our national activities. I have always favored the teaching of music both vocal and instrumental in our schools, and I shall ever feel that these studies should have an important place in our institutions of learning, from the lowest to the highest. We do not have too much music, we need it, the world needs it more than ever before, and I am the friend of every effort to give it its rightful place in our national life.” T. T. Thirty-five VIVIAN DAHLHIELM......................President PAUL WEBORQ.......................... Vice President VERNON BENSON.........................Secretary HENNING ERICKSON......................Treasurer Rain, rain, rain all day long. Teachers became anxious and began to wonder when it was going to let up so that they could get a moment's rest. By evening it was reported that during the course of the day the balls bad been flooded with about sixty-five shy. awkward little Freshmen. In spite of their shyness they bad courage enough to bold a class meeting at which they elected Milton Brown president. When school began again in the fall of 1921, only twenty-seven registered as Sophomores. That year in connection with their study of journalism, the Sophomores put out an issue of the Quiver. At the end of that school year they also came out with the record of having the highest average of all the classes in their studies. This year there are only twenty-two Juniors due to the fact that some of the Sophomores of last year have entered other departments of the school, and others have had to leave. No doubt the greatest event of the year to the Juniors was the Junior-Senior banquet, given April 27, 1923. During these years the members of this class have tried to show their love for M. A. in both words and deeds, and their aim in the future is to prove loyal and faithful to Minnehaha Academy. V. D.y ’24. Thirty-six SOPHOMORES DWIGHT JOHNSON . MARGARETTE OLSON EVELYN STOLPE . . . President . Vice President . Set ret a ry-Tree s it rer On the sixth day of September, 1921, fifty young hopefuls embarked on the good ship, Minnehaha, to begin their voyage to the goal of their ambitions, high-school graduation. They wandered over the deck in twos and threes, gazing with awe upon the seasoned tars of two or three years experience, who did their best to frighten the fresh crew with tales of seasickness. However, when the sailors-to-be encountered the cheery smile of the beloved Skipper, T. W. Anderson, they took courage and soon gained their “sea-legs. Under the good leadership of Elmer Landerdahl, the Freshman crew sailed merrily through the first year. The following year found this same happy crew, now the Sophomore one, with Dwight Johnson as quartermaster. So seamanlike had they now become, that woe to the sailor who dared fling a taunting remark at them! With all hands on deck, the ship put into port to read the Sophomore edition of the Quiver. This edition was an example of the fact that success always comes to anything tackled by the Sophomores. They have not sailed these two years without learning to love their ship Minnehaha and its warm-hearted, understanding Skipper. All the other officers have also found a place in the hearts of the Sophomores. With Miss Sandberg as the M. A. in both words and deeds, and their aim in the future is to prove loyal and sail as successfully under the Junior banner as it has beneath the Sophomore. D. ’25. Thirty-seven FRESHMEN RAYMOND STROT.........................I resident RALPH ANDERSON........................Vice President AMY STOLPE............................Scoretar{ -Treasurer “Freshmen,’ so we are called. In thinking of Freshmen one thinks of youth, and that implies activity, alertness, briskness, speed, and many other characteristics that the name might suggest. Our first impressions as “Freshies” are undoubtedly various. Some have had to suffer because of the name, others have not. Whatever has been our experience we have gladly submitted much to our enjoyment as well as to the enjoyment of others. Last fall shortly after coming to school we were cordially entertained bv those students who have been here before. A festivity of this kind is given every year in order that all might become better acquainted with each other. The Freshmen have taken an active part in the various student activities, which really constitute a part of our education, as participation in literary programs and debates proves to be not only entertaining but also valuble in training for coming years. We are therefore eager to take part in these things and enjoy the advantages thus offered. Some of us have already chosen our vocation for life, others have not; but whatever it may be we realize that there is a world of knowledge ahead of us which we must obtain. This, however, does not frighten us. but with all the pluck that we possess we will tackle the task. We shall not long be Freshmen but shall advance step by step until some day we too shall acquire the coveted name of Seniors. E. M., ’26. Thirty-eight ALUMNI % ALUMNI CLARENCE ERICKSON........................President DETLOP JOHNSON...........................Vice President LILLIAN OBERG............................Secretary MAY PETERSON.............................Treasurer In the beginning, as far as Minnehaha Academy is concerned, God created a spirit in the hearts of a few of His followers which gradually and surely brought forth that beam of light and hope in the fields of education, our own Alma Mater. Those sturdy men worked and struggled with the faith and knowledge that “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of all wisdom, and a good understanding have all they that do his commandments.” It is here that our school rises above the ordinary one. Towering above the fact that our Alma Mater has all the highest materialistic qualities of the ordinary school is the fact that it has a soul that raises it above all earthly things. It has that light and guidance which has stood as a beacon through all ages. It has that which will keep us from falling off the straight and narrow path into wrangles of material knowledge and agnosticism. I think that the alumni as a whole will voice the fact that this is one of their most cherishable memories of dear old M. A., and as the years roll by, that thought will always come back. We as alumni have received from M. A. not only food for our mind but for our souls as well and have been instilled with the service for God and man. Therefore we do hereby extend our most sincere thanks to our Alma Mater, to all those who are in its service, and most of all to God, who gave us all. We also wish to say to the students of M. A. that they should not leave the ranks of students and enter into those of the alumni before they have that which will lead them safely to the kingdom of God. The alumni as an organized body wishes to greet the class of '23 into their midst and do also extend to you our heartiest congratulations. We hope that you will enter into the spirit of the association and pull for M. A. wherever you may go. The association has one grand social event each year, usually some day during commencement week—The Alumni Reunion. This year the plans are royal and we expect a real affair. 23, help make it a big one! You will be one of us. D. ., ’21. Thirty-nine Forty ATHLETICS ATHLETICS We had all looked forward to the completion of the new building at Minnehaha Academy, hut most of our enthusiasm was centered on the completion of the new and modern gymnasium. The students at the school are striving for the best things in life and therefore are boosters for better and cleaner athletics. At the beginning of the fall term the students elected an athletic board to supervise all things concerned directly with the school’s athletic program. This athletic hoard is composed of two members of each of the school classes assisted by two members of the faculty. We are very fortunate in securing the services of a very competent basketball coach, and both the girls and hoys are turning out good basketball material. Although the school did not have the opportunity of developing first class teams in former years, the effects of the new coach this season will have a strong hearing on the teams to he developed in the future. All of our games this season have not been won, but the results of them have shown that our team has a good, clean fighting spirit. The organization of the calisthenic classes is a great step forward in developing the physical education of the students. These classes which meet twice a week are under the competent instruction of members of the faculty and in due time will develop into one of our most active organizations. With the increased number of students our outlook for a good track and baseball team becomes brighter. We have always been well represented in these two branches and this year our hopes have been increased. With the loyal support of the student body there is no doubt but what our hopes will be fulfilled. Minnehaha Academy, a fast growing educational institution, will undoubtedly be well represented in the field of athletics. C. R. ’23. Forty-one ATHLETIC BOARD ROBERT ALLEN.........................President IREANE HOLMBERG......................Vice President LILLIAN LARSON.......................Financial 8ec y. RUTH HEGG............................Corresponding Scc y. The Athletic Board at Minnehaha Academy was founded for the purpose of regulating the athletic affairs of the school. It is composed of one girl and one hoy representative from each class in the High School Department, one girl and one boy from the Bible Institute and the Business Department. With this arrangement there are twelve members, six girls and six boys. As officers this Board has a president, a vice-president, a financial secretary, and a corresponding secretary. The president is the chairman of the boys committee made up of two of the boys and himself. The vice-president is chairman of the girls’ committee consisting of two of the girls ami herself. The financial secretary is chairman of the arrangement committee which is made up of two members and herself. The corresponding secretary is the chairman of the equipment committee which consists of two members and herself. The boys committee, as a rule, handles all the matters pertaining to the teams composed of the boys of the school. The girls committee fills the same office among the girls. The equipment committee has the caretaking and purchasing, if any, of the equipment as a duty. The arrangement committee has charge of the sale of tickets and the various arrangements at the games. This board, although in its infancy, has done valiant work, and after it has reached the standards set for it, it will be a big asset to the school in the athletic line. R. J-, 24.

BOYS' BASKETBALL TEAM The 1922-23 basketball season is now over, and we must rest content with the few times our boys have won. They have not hurl themselves with a lot of winning, blit every game has been an exciting, hard-fought contest from the start to the final whistle, as is shown by such scores as 23-17 in the Tiger game and 8-7 in the first game with Bethel. The boys have shown a splendid spirit and have worked until they could have dropped. Johanson has played a dashing game at forward, as has Wahman. Johnson and Hegg have displayed their pluck at guard while Allen has shone at center. But as a whole the team lacks something and that something is a coach and teamwork. We have had the good fortune to secure the services of Van Orden for a short time, which was a great help, but what we need is a coach who can be with us all the time. The boys showed what they really could do when in the final game of the season they upset the dope and won over the more experienced Alumni team by a score of 18-9. This season has been one hundred per cent more successful than last year, due no doubt, to our splendid new gym. There has been no lack of material and a good coach could have turned out a winning aggregation. Next year we look forward to another one hundred per cent improvement. L. ., ’23. Forty-four Forty-fire OUR GIRLS-THEIR CHARACTERISTICS I. Holmberg (Capt).—An able leader and an excellent team worker. G. Lundberg—A keen-eyed dashing forward. R. Hegg—She always gets the tip-off. E. Mellbye—Sticks to her opponent like a leech. V. Lundberg—A guard of good quality. E. Stolpe—A crack forward with a wicked shooting-eye. A. Stolpe—Good at forward and always in action. T. Lind holm—A good guard. L. Larson—A good utility player with a fine spirit. Seeing the boys could not bring home the wreath of victory it was up to the girls. Captain “Heps” Holmberg has instilled into her team such a fighting spirit that each and every member of the team has become invincible, with the result that the girls have finished the season with the glorious appelation “undefeated.” Captain “Bob” Allen of the boys team has coached the girls, and he certainly has turned out a winning aggregation. All we can say to the girls is “Keep it up.” L. ‘23. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM With the completion of the Auditorium building in which there is a large spacious gymnasium the girls get a chance to practice three times a week, namely on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons. In previous years it has been necessary to rent a gym once a week, but that has not proved sufficient for thorough work. The girls’ team was picked in January by Bob Allen, whose ability as a coach is evident by the success of the season. Among the teams that have been played this year are those representing Bethel Academy, Minneapolis Business College, and Augsburg Academy. In the first game with Bethel, which was played on the Bethel floor, the score was 28-4 in favor of the M. A. girls. They again carried off the bigger end in the return game with Bethel. In the one with Minneapolis Business College, which was a hard fought game on both sides, the M. A. girls won by a score of 16-14. The last game of the season was played with Augsburg on the M. A. floor, and again the M. A. girls w’alked off with the game by a score of 26-16. For the last four years, during which two of the members of this year's squad played, the girls of M. A. have lost only one game, that being w ith the International Christian Bible College. This is a splendid record, and the girls hope, wish, and work to keep it so. . ., ’23. Forty-six ACTIVITIES It is often thought that an education consists merely of learning and knowledge, but that is not so. A real education embodies far more than that. To it belongs also the school activities and organizations which mean so much to a young student and which are so helpful in many ways. It is in these societies that practical work and thorough training come in, for the members are given responsibilities and duties which they must perform. This strengthens each individual who tries to do his best, and it may therefore easily be seen that these societies are essential in fitting students for their positions later on in life. Not only that but it gives a rest to the mind and takes it away from the daily routine which tends to become tiresome. Besides these facts there is also the one that it gives each member an opportunity to follow his inclinations and make use of his talents as well as develop them. Without all this school life would certainly be incomplete and very empty. Though the students perhaps do not realize the true value of these societies, they will undoubtedly find out sooner or later what they have meant to each and every one and will give them the full appreciation that is their due. Forty-seven HIAWATHA The average young man of today finds it hard sometimes to express himself and make himself understood. In order that the boys might have an opportunity to overcome such inconveniences as well as improve upon their capabilities the Hiawatha Debating Society was organized. One does not make any headway or obtain success without putting an individual effort into every enterprise, but one must also have someone who is able and willing to lend a helping hand, and that is what this organization wishes to do for those boys who are ambitious, interested, and willing to try their best to obtain advancement in life. Every member has a chance to take part in the programs which consist mainly of short talks or debates. In this way not only the speaker is benefited but also the listeners. Through helpful criticisms, careful observations, and good examples they may improve upon themselves in every way. The fact that there have been some capable debaters and speakers from this society speaks well for it. Two of the members have been on the school's debating team, and one is now the captain of the debating team at the University of Minnesota. No doubt the training they received while members of Hiawatha was of great value to them, as their talents were there recognized and developed. Perhaps the boys do not now notice or appreciate the wrork of this society, but it is certain that when they come out in life, they will look back to this organization and realize what it has done for them. W. A., ‘23. Fort u-ciu lit NOKOMIS LITERARY SOCIETY The Nokomis Literary Society is an organization which is composed of wideawake and active young women of the school. The purpose of this society is not merely to amuse and entertain but also to benefit its members by giving them an opportunity to develop as well as display their talents, whatever they might be. It does more than that, however. There are girls in it from all the different departments, and it has therefore been a means by which they might become better acquainted with each other. That the society is a progressive one may be seen from the fact that the enrollment exceeds that of any other year, the number of members being over forty at the present time. Programs consisting of solos, duets, recitations, debates, short talks, and dialogues are given at the meetings, which are held twice a month on Wednesday afternoons. This year Nokomis has the honor and proud distinction of having won unanimously the debate between Nokomis and Hiawatha, the question being that of the Kansas Industrial Court. Despite these “friendly quarrels ' that the two societies have every year, a friend-ly feeling exists between them. To show this Nokomis invited Hiawatha to one of their programs this term. Ihe fact that this activity has been a success is undoubtedly due greatly to the interest shown by the society, as well as to the splendid co-operation and good advice given by Miss G. A. Sandberg, the faculty adviser. Forty-nine T. L., ’23. DEBATING One of the most interesting phases of school life at Minnehaha Academy is debating. In this field we have met with success, winning, in the last four years, five out of eight debates. Each year we have a debate between the Hiawatha Debating Society and the Nokomis Literary Society. Those on the Nokomis team for 1921 were Pearl Strot, Ruth Johnson, and Ruth Esping. The Hiawatha team, which was victorious that year, consisted of Clarence Larson. Cyrus Hoagland, and Waldo Anderson. Ireane Holm berg, iolet Olson, and Hildur Nelson made up the Nokomis team for 1922. The boys in the Hiawatha team were Waldo Anderson, Verner Hegg, and Leonard Lindholm. This time the decision was in favor of the Nokomis Society. These debates were followed by dual debates with Minnesota College. Last year the question was: Resolved, That the government should own and operate the coal mines of United States. Our affirmative team consisted of Pearl Strot, Carl Gustavson. and Ruth Esping, with Elsie Wikholm as alternate. The negative team was composed of Cyrus Hoagland. Ruth Johnson, and Clarence Larson, with Helga Waline as alternate. The decision was in favor of the negative team, but the affirmative team lost. These two debates were held March 28. I his year the question was on the Kansas Industrial Court. On the affirmative team were iolet Olson, Thilde Lindholm, and Clarence Larson, with Vernon Benson as alternate. Ireane Holmberg, Leonard Lindholm. and Carl Gustavson, with Hildur Nelson as alternate Fifty served on the negative team. Due to the sickness of one of the members on the team at Minnesota College Thilde Lindholm did not take part. Both of our teams were victorious in these debates, which were held March 21. The annual debate with North Park College last year was held May 5 at that school . The question was: Resolved, That the Government should own and operate the coal mines of the United States. We upheld the negative. On the team were Pearl Strot, Clarence Larson, and Cyrus Hoagland, while Carl Gustavson served as alternate. Again we were victorious. This year the annual debate was held April 20 at Minnehaha Academy. Our team, which consisted of Clarence Larson, Carl Gustavson, Violet Olson and Ireane Holmberg, alternate, upheld the affirmative of the question on the Kansas Industrial Court. On the North Park Academy team were Edward W. Peterson, Bernard Mat-son, and Harold Carlson. Helen Stoner was alternate. Both teams showed that they were not to be trifled with, and each side was well represented. In spite of the gallant resistance made by our team we lost. The decision was two to one in favor of North Park Academy. A silver loving cup was given to the winners to be kept one year. Next year we hope the cup will find its home at Minnehaha Academy. In attaining this success in debating, our coach, Mr. Franklin, has had his part. With his sound judgment in choosing debaters for each term he has enabled us to compete successfully with our opponents. Much good advice has been given to each debater. We hope that we may have him as our coach in the future also and with his aid be able to make a greater success. V 24 Fifty-one TIMOTHY CLASS ELMER DAHLSTROM................... President ALFRED PETERSON.....................Vice President MILTON OPSAHL.......................Secretary JOHN LIND...........................Treasurer The Timothy Class is one of the most interesting and spirited activities at school. It is a class for young men who plan to do definite Christian work. Its membership is now twenty-six, which is more than it has been in any previous year. The purpose of this organization is to train the boys to speak expressively, logically, and concisely. The class meets once a week when two of the members preach short but very inspiring sermons, after which they receive criticisms from the two appointed critics and from other members. This class is very fortunate in having the President of the school as its adviser. He always gives very helpful and profitable remarks, which are very much appreciated. The various members are doing much practical work in missions and churches of the Twin Cities, and invitations to conduct Young People’s meetings are received and gladly accepted. Several of the boys conduct services in out-of-town churches of which some serve as temporary pastors. Zeal and determination for soul winning are manifested, and the boys consider it a great privilege to testify for their Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, who has chosen us as His disciples and also said, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” E. D., ’26. Fifty-tiro RUTH CLASS ESTHER E. OLSON........................President VIOLET OLSON...........................t ire President ESTER MARTIN...........................Secretary FLORENCE OLSON.........................Treasurer We, as members of the Ruth Class of Minnehaha Academy, are preparing ourselves for the work that our Master has in store for us. In order to serve Him in the best way we felt the need of having some practice along these lines especially. Two years ago the Ruth Class was organized for the purpose of training young women for active Christian service. At each meeting two members are expected to speak, one on a Scripture passage and one on a certain chapter from a book studied by the class. After the talks have been made, the meeting is open for criticism. Those who are to take part in the programs are chosen in alphabetical order thereby giving each member an opportunity of speaking two or three times during the school year. In this way they are becoming more deeply grounded in God's Word as well as receiving training in public speaking. One of the members of last year is now in China taking up the work there. Others from this organization are also planning on definite work either on the foreign fields or in the homeland. It is our aim and one ambition to serve Him in some small measure, for Ihe harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few.” E. 0., ’23. Fifty-three STUDENT COUNCIL One of the most important and necessary branches in the school is the Student Council. For several years its members were elected from the various departments of the school to serve in this capacity only. At the beginning of the 1922-23 school year a change was made to the effect that the Student Council should consist of the president of each of the four classes in the High School department, the president and vice-president of the class in the Business Department, and the president of the Bible Institute class. The Council represents the student body of the school and co-operates with the faculty in promoting the various interests of the school that are in common. It has the following specific aims: first, to create a true sense of honor in all school work as well as in the general conduct of the students, though the splendid behavior of the students throughout the year has caused little work for the Council in this respect; second, to promote among the students of all departments a strong and united school spirit; third, to suggest to the faculty any desirable changes in school activities or administration; fourth, to promote a spirit of friendship among the students of the school. By a suggestion from the faculty it also provides for a musical number for Tuesday chapel services. This year the Student Council has been active in presenting suggestions to the faculty and considering those given by them, and has thereby done its best to make the standards of the school higher. 4, ‘23. Fifty-four THE QUIVER The Quiver, althougth il has been in existence for less than two and a half years, is one of the foremost activities of the Academy. Through its pages each staff, in turn, seeks verbally to set forth the prevailing atmosphere and, in brief, to make the paper representative of the various activities. Together with the first Antler the Quiver was begun by the '21 class, who had charge of it until March when the first regular staff election took place. The Student Council elect the staff at that time each year from a list of nominations submitted by Mr. E. 0. Franklin, teacher of English and faculty adviser of the Quiver. The paper has been carried successfully through these two and a half years, so there is little reason to doubt that it will continue as a growing activity. The past year has been an especially successful one in many respects. Not only has the size of the paper been doubled but the subscriptions, as well have been increased to three times the former number. The new Quiver room has been supplied with typewriter, stationery, files, and w ith various other necessities. The staff is grateful to Mr. Franklin for his energetic co-operation and advice during its term of office, realizing that it is only through his assistance that such achievements could possibly have been obtained . As this article is being written a recently-elected staff has taken up the work. To them we wish even greater success during their term of office. lift li-five V. O., 23. WABUN ANNUNG BIBLE CLASS “Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and read: no one of these shall fail.” Isaiah 34:16. The Wabun Annung Bible Class finds a deep pleasure in studying the Bible and seeking to find in it the will of God and putting that which they have found to a practical test in daily life. Rev. H. J. Martin, pastor of the Bethlehem Evangelical Covenant Church, is the teacher as well as the president of this class. He has a wonderful ability as a teacher, and the truths brought out by him have been deeply impressed upon the hearts of each member. This Bible class, which meets at 9:30 every Sunday morning, has continued for three years and now works in co-operation with the Bethlehem church, which holds its meetings regularly in the M. A. Chapel. Much can be said about the spirit of brightness and cheer of this class, but we know that little needs be said, for that which is good speaks for itself. Two committees have been elected in the class, one to be on the look-out for new members and the other to visit those of the members who are ill and bring them a cheery remembrance from the class of either fruit or flowers. The roll call responds to the number of forty-five, and with the spirit which a class like this alone can have, a greater number is looked for in the future; for each member knows that the Wabun Annung class is the most cheerful and happy class at Minnehaha, and as the name signifies, is in every respect the “Morning Star” for its members. M. E. A ., ’23. Fifty-six AFRICA MISSION STUDY CLASS The Africa Mission Study Class consists of a number of young men and women at school who are interested in the Christian work going on in the “Dark Continent ’ and who wish to learn more about the splendid possibilities in that great heathen field. Through talks given by various members of the class something has been learned of the geography, history, social conditions, language, literature, education, laws, government, and above all of the religions and missions in Africa. An earnest spirit of zeal and eagerness has inspired each one to do his part in enlightening those who are groping in darkness. Perhaps some will go out directly as missionaries; others will stay at home to help support them and in this way give aid to the suffering millions who are without Christ and without hope. Through the many prayers and under the capable supervision of Mr. E. N. Oberg, who is well versed in this particular subject, the class has made great headway. Mr. Oberg’s unceasing efforts to make this class a successful one are worthy of appreciation and thanks. May God bless it in the future as he has in the past, and may there be many-good results from it. I). ’25. CHINA MISSION STUDY CLASS A China Mission Study Class has also been organized this year. The chief aim of this class is to become more familiar with China as a whole, to create among its members a greater interest for foreign missionary work, and, if possible, to instil in some a desire to become foreign missionaries some day. The class meets every other Wednesday at 2 o’clock, thereby giving every student, who could not possibly be present in the evening an opportunity to join. The book, the title, of which is “The Emergency in China ’, by F. L. Hawks Pott has been studied this year. It takes up not only the spiritual but also the political and social conditions in China. Professor Hoi 1 inbeck, who is very much interested in foreign missions, is at the head of the class. His zeal and love for this work has been a great inspiration to each member of the class. A spirit of reverence for God has dominated the room during this period, and not only that, but a spirit of love has found a place in every member’s heart for the Chinese who are living in darkness. God alone knows but what some who have attended this class will dedicate their lives in the service of the Lord as His ambassador in that great and marvelous country. H. £., ’25. Fifty-seven What would this world he without music? Life certainly would be very empty and dreary, and so it would be at Minnehaha Academy if there were no songs, no music, but there is and plenty of it. At chapel services there is always song, and oftentimes a few minutes more are given so that more songs may be sung and extra numbers may be presented. There have been some fine musical services during this school year. The School Chorus and the Boys’ Glee Club have been organized, and these have added to the musical spirit of the school. BOYS' GLEE CLUB One of the most beautiful things one can hear in the line of music is a chorus of men's voices, and the Boys' Glee Club of Minnehaha Academy is not an exception to this. It was organized shortly after the beginning of the new term, and it has continued with success so far. The practice work is done the period from 11:30 to 12:15 every Wednesday morning. Professor Burns, who is the leader, has shown his interest and enthusiasm for this work, and that has inspired the boys to do their best to make this activity a successful one. It has been a sacrifice on the part of the boys, for they have had to leave their class work to be along at the practices; but the inspiration that their songs give is worth all the time and work put into it. SCHOOL CHORUS Choral song on the lips of people has an influence which can pierce to the depth of the human heart. We realize this, and therefore, one of the most interesting and largest of the school activities at Minnehaha Academy is the School Chorus. Every other Wednesday at two o’clock the students gather from the various departments and meet in the new chapel for an hour of singing. It is indeed pleasant to see the students animated w ith the spirit of song as they assemble into chapel this period. Professor Burns, the head of the Music Department, is the director of the Chorus. His amiable disposition, yet firm will makes him a most capable teacher, and under his able leadership choral training is indeed a joy. The students at Minnehaha Academy have good and strong voices, and w ith Professor Burns as director, and Miss Jennie Wilson at the piano, they sing with spirit till the chapel and halls re-echo with the sound. . ?., ‘23.
