had scarcely begun. This pioneering work was noT an easy Task, iT
enTailed counTless dilTiculTies and required paTience. Through The years
The guidance program, TosTered by Miss Daly, has grown and is now
recognized by parenTs, sTudenTs, and TaculTy alike as an indispensable

IT'S WINTER IN MINNESOTA

Minnesota vvinters! Beautiful, crisp mornings when your breath hangs in a white
vapor and the snovv sounds brittle and sharp under your feet. Pine tree branches
heavy with their white burden contribute quiet beauty to nature's winter scenery.
Numb fingers and toes, red cheeks, and cold noses dominate the season.
Hockey players in their bright blue and gold uniforms can be seen practicing
on the near-by ponds and lakes long since frozen. The younger try have their lun
tobogganing on the steep hills, and speed skaters practice tor national titles at
near-by Como Park. This is the time when Murray provides welcomed warmth for
those vvho vvalk or ride to school.

HOBBIES IN STRIDE
In the modern classroom maps and at-
lases furnish a background for understand-
ing timely events in this fast-moving World
of today. Bringing many phases of history
and social studies to light in an interesting
way, Mrs. Marie Gilbert, Miss Virginia Fer-
tig, and Miss Bertha Muedeking make stu-
dents conscious of one world.
Merry Christmas in any language means
fun and merry making. Mrs. Mary Harmon,
Mr. Bernard Winkelman, and Miss Mabel
Surratt have really caught the Christmas
spirit as seen by the smiles on their faces.
Many stories of Christmas are familiar to
English teachers, Mrs. Harmon and Miss
Surratt, but Mr. Vvinkelman, German in-
structor, feels no one celebrates Christmas
with as much festivity as the Germans.
Hobbies make a fascinating pastime and
provide an escape from daily routine as
shovvn by three of Murray's mathematics
teachers. Miss Olive Batschelet takes excel-
lent care of her many plants, and finds
much enioyment in her pitcher collection of
over 300. Miss Louise Smith is very fond of
music, but at the moment she seems to be
interested in discussing geology with Mrs.
Helene Becker. Mrs. Becker has collected
many specimens for her study of geology.
LEADERS, STUDENTS-
MARK EDUCATION'S PROGR

Each in his chosen field ot interest, yet all keenly aware of education as an
enriching experience, are the above leaders.
Seated are Mr. John Wooley, Murray's assistant principal, Mr. Selmer Berg,
superintendent ot St. Paul's public schools, Mr. William Scanlan, principal ot Mur-
ray, and Mr. Glenn Varner, director of high schools.
Standing and looking at the material under consideration are Owen Eckblom,
senior class president, and Charles Grose, president ot Murray's Student Council.
Here in the atmosphere ot sharing ideas and experiences young people learn
to appreciate and to evaluate the problems of the modern school.

BULLETINS, RESEARCH, WEIGHING
AND SO THE DAY BEGINS
The play's the thing which must be selected with a great deal ot care and consideration by Miss Florence
Vest and the senior class. Librarian Miss Marion Gratz seems to have found a play that she thinks will be a
hit with both. Necessary to all dramatic productions is the attractive scenery made by the art department un-
der the supervision at Miss Marie Darche shown holding a sample.
Health and physical htness are extremely important subjects to Mrs. Inez Gugisberg who instructs every-
thing trom ballroom dancing to volley ball in Murray's gymnasium. Mrs. George Bergup, school nurse, con-
cerned about the health ot each person at Murray, does a little checking up on the faculty. Waiting her turn
on the scale is Miss Catherine Daly, personnel director.

AND TODAY BECOMES YESTERDAY
September 1948-Freshmen arrive wide-eyed and
full of anticipation to begin their high school life.
Sophomores assume that "grown-up" air deceiving
only to the freshmen. Juniors become organized and
begin plans for exciting events including the biggest
of all-the Prom. By this time, seniors are knee-deep
in activities. Football heroes, Student Council offi-
cers, Library Club members, Girls' and Boys' Leagues
strive to make their last year the best, and to leave
behind them memories of a fine class, both to the
school and for their own personal satisfaction. Plans
for a yearbook that will record the progress made in
1949, and make these memories more lasting, are
under way. A curly-haired mascot is created by art
editor Kyle Peterson to take the blame for mistakes
of the inexperienced editors, picture failures, and
budget problems. This little fellow, Sure Nuff,
becomes fascinated by Murray's many sports and
activities, participating actively in certain organiza-
tions and silently observing the rest from his post in
the window of the journalism office.
But nobody notices him as he watches the months
begin to roll by, full of now past pleasures and
events, which Sure 'Nuff discovers go with the home-
work and extra responsibilities of activities to make
school the place where character is formed and per-
sonalities improved and well-rounded. He sees great
progress made in what pupils fondly call student
government under the president, Charles Grose. He
witnesses the formation of a new Hi-Y, the Como
Park Chapter, and sees the two chapters recognized
as organizations of the school.
When the seniors pay their visit to Golling's,
Sure 'Nuff dons his best T-shirt and goes along.
Page sixteen
Convinced that his proofs do not do him iustice,
he insists upon retakes as do most of the other seniors.
Sure 'Nuff particularly loves dress rehearsals and
makes a great deal of noise with his fireworks as
sound-effects man for the Senior Class Play, You
Can't Take It With You. He can't be kept away from
the auditorium as the choir practices its operetta,
The Chimes of Normandy, and serves faithfully on
the makeup committee.
One day, while browsing through confidential
matters of the PILOT staff, Sure 'Nuff discovers that
some of his pals are being sent to have their pic-
tures taken in strange costumes. Sure 'Nuff con-
ceals himself in the pocket of Don Harvey who
he learns is posing as a pioneer with Marlene Steph-
ens to depict the theme, "Yesterday and Today",
with Mary Sue Krebs representing the present, look-
ing down at them. Each section is to be introduced
by a student of today looking back on the pupil of
yesterday. On the faculty and class page, Kenneth
Larson witnesses Ralph Engebretson preparing to
discipline seventh grader Gladys Smith in the man-
ner common in the log school house. Gordon Lind
gren and Richard Swanson would make stiff com-
petition for any team as observed by John David-
son. Mary Ellen Hoagland sees Denis Bakke and
Mary Higgins as the sedate couple of a nineteenth
century school would appear.
Now today, Senior Day, is here and The PILOT
is yours to enioy in this present and to keep for
another day when time has continued its march of
progress of events.

FORTY-NINERS MINE FOR IDEAS
Just as the Centennial marks a milestone for Minnesota, so graduation is an important event in the lives
of us, the seniors, who comprise Murray's largest graduating class.
The freshman year found us engrossed with new friends, changing classes, and searching in vain for the
swimming pool supposedly located on the roof. As sophomores we were "on to the ropes" and spent leisure
time at canteens and athletic events. It was in our iunior year that we became organized with the able as-
sistance of Miss Valborg Helseth and Miss Louise Pederson, class advisers. Successful parties and projects fol-
lowed, climaxed by the Junior-Senior Prom at the Women's City Club.
With Owen Eckblom as
president, we began our
fr - senior year. In January You
Ccin't Take It With You, the
hilarious class play, was pre-
sented, and before long
plans for graduation were
underway.
The pleasures of the year
were broken by the untimely
death of one of our class-
mates, Louis Peter. Instead
of living in the past, however,
vve seniors look eagerly to
the future. What it may hold
for us we do not know, but
aided by experience and
knowledge gained at Murray,
we feel well able to cope
with the problems that con-
front us as citizens in this in-
creasingly complex society.

GRID TEAM
STRESSES DEFENSIVE GAME
Lacking the offensive punch necessary for a cham-
pionship eleven, the Pilots completed an eventful
season on the gridiron last fall. Possessing a big,
experienced line and a small backfield, the Murray
men held respect as one of the best defensive teams
in the conference.
Seniors Ralph DeYoung, Bob Steveken, Gordon
Lindgren, Dick Swanson, and Marv Lundgren must be
singled out as the stars of the season. Ralph, who was
the only Pilot to be chosen for the All-City team,
played practically every defensive position on the
team, and he was the spearhead of the offense. From
the left halfback positon, Bob Steveken had a chance
to show his speed and shiftiness on the team's quick-
opening T-formation plays. As the Pilots' leading
scorer, Marv Lundgren played in top form all season,
and he was one of Coach Ralph Engebretson's most
reliable ground gainers from his fullback position.
Gordon Lindgren was the immovable object that
stopped the irresistible force as he led the Murray
line to one of the best defensive records in the con-
ference. Acclaimed by all as one of the best "little
men" in the conference, Dick Swanson proved to be
one of the team's most valuable players as the de-
fensive "spark plug" in the backfield.
In the season's opener the gridders bowed to an
Page thirty-eight
experienced Marshall team 8-O in a pre-season non-
conference contest.
The opening conference game saw the Pilots give
way to a strong Central team by a score of 7-O. The
Pilot offensive at this stage had not started to roll.
In the second conference game the gridders finally
broke the Wilson iinx and defeated the Redmen by
the score of 14-6. Bob Steveken and Ralph DeYoung
tallied for the winners.
Looking like the championship team of the previous
season, the Pilots smashed Humboldt to the tune of
27-T9. Blasting along the ground for three scores and
a fourth through the air, the footballers had it their
own way throughout the contest. Marv Lundgren, Bob
Steveken, Ralph DeYoung, and Tom Wegleitner all
scored for the winners.
Playing fine defensive ball, Murray held a favored
Washington team to a O-O tie. Both teams lacked the
necessary offensive punch to carry them to "pay-dirt",
but fans had their money's worth at this ball game.
Monroe defeated the Pilots in what was called by
many the upset of the year. Marv Lundgren scored in
the second quarter for the Pilots but the extra point
was blocked. Late in the fourth quarter Monroe scored,
kicked the extra point, and sewed up the 7-6 ball game,

THIS IS EASY-OR IS IT?
Here is action galore in this tie game with Mechanic Arts. Bob Steveken, carrying
the ball, is having a path made for him by Herb Lynch and Gordon Lindgren as the
team carries out a reverse play.

LET'S GO PLACES
The homecoming game was played with a highly rated and
championship-bound Mechanic Arts eleven. The Murray crowd
saw an unforgettable battle as the two teams fought for pay
territory with one spectacular play following another. By
"bottling up" the Trainer ground game, the Pilots fought Me-
chanics to a O-O tie.
In the final game of the season the Murray gridders really
took their big defeat of the year as a strong Johnson squad
rang up a 20-O total.
While Murray relinquished its city crown when Johnson, Mar-
shall, and Mechanic Arts ended in a triple tie for the title, the
season was anything but mediocre. Senior squad members who
had received experience while playing with the i947 Champs
distinguished themselves individually, and their knowledge of the
game gave confidence and help to new squad members.
Ralph DeYoung is ready to go places in a big way as his
determined expression shows. Nick Combs of Marshall thinks
diFferently and happens to be right in this Marshall-Murray game.

of the Pilot T949 hockey aggregation. Led
by the line of Tom Wegleitner, Jack Martin,

tured the Region lV laurels, won the
Twin City Championship, and gathered

Tournament.
Murray won its first Twin City Cham-

Gold before Washburn got its lone goal
with two minutes left to play.
Three Murrayites earned places on the

Tom Wegleitner gained recognition in the

chosen All-State center.
Playing the type of hockey indicative of
a well-coached team, the Murrayites won
the regional tourney. In the first game of
the regional the Pilots defeated Johnson
High 3-2. Jim Theis tallied twice for the
winners, Duplicating the score of the pre-
vious evening, Murray defeated Harding.
Bill Wegleitner, Jack Martin, and Kyle

Ralph DeYoung, right, drops in tvvo of his thirteen points in
Washington-Pilot tilt.
Murray's erratic T949 basketball aggrega-
tion completed the season with a nine-one re-
cord against non-conference opposition. In
play against conference opposition the record
vvas reversed.
Getting off with a good start the bucketeers
notched victories over Chaska, St. Agnes, St.
Louis Park, St. Paul Park, and Breck before
losing to Hastings in an exciting contest. This
year the team traveled to Willmar and Benson
on the annual Christmas road trip and handily
defeated them. Later in the season the Pilots
played SPA twice and were victorious on both
occasions.
Against conference foes the Pilots were not
as fortunate in the won-lost column. Gathering
only one victory in ten starts, the fighting Pilots
made up for their lack of size with their ight-
ing spirit, and the Murrayites put up many a
scrappy battle. The conference record Was:
Murray-Washington 36-43, Murray-Humboldt
32-60, lvlurray-Harding 34-35, Murray-Johnson
28-24, Murray-Marshall 33-44, lvlurray-Central

Seniors Chuck Grose, Bruce Anderson, and

season. These veterans did much to aid the
seasoning of the underclassmen for next year's
team.

Under the direction of Mr. George Bergup, the star-
studded Pilot diamond nine of 1948 Hnished the season
with the best record in the school's history. Led by the
superb pitching of Tom Zwiener and the fine "clutch"
hitting of Ralph DeYoung, the Murrayites landed in a
second place tie with Johnson at the season's end.
Opening the conference, the Pilots blasted Marshall
6-I and continued on their winning ways in defeating
Central 3-l to make it two in a row.

Washington spelled the season's Hrst defeat for the
Murray men as they shut out the Pilots 2-O in an extra
inning pitcher's duel.
Murray then defeated Harding 7-i and lost to Wil-

Going hitless, the Pilots were defeated by Monroe
8-O. Ending the conference season in a fine manner,
the Pilots defeated Johnson 7-O and Mechanic Arts

Have you ever seen a girl gleefully eyeing one of
Murray's athletes? Surely she sees something that in-
terests her. ls it the boy with his blond, curly hair or
his broad shoulders? Nine times out of ten it is not the
sports hero but his precious sweater that she has in
mind. This is only one of the problems encountered by
members of the "M" Club during the year-who shall
wear the sweater?
The organization is composed of athletes who have
proven their worth in various sports and among whose
members are many of the athletic stars of tomorrow.
While the coveted letter is admired by the feminine
population, only the owners know the hours of eFfort
and toil that go into the earning of the attractive "M,"
This year the "M" Club joined with the G.A.A. in
sponsoring the homecoming dance and assembly. This
event, traditional at Murray, is one that active "M"
Club members plan for, as the old grads return to see
how the new crop of lettermen carry out the "M"
Club's aims and ideals.
President Ralph DeYoung planned with a committee
for a social event in mid-winter, an old-fashioned sleigh-
ride. However, Minnesota decided to have Florida
weather at that time and the event was canceled.
In May two events of importance are on the calen-
der. A letter assembly will be top billing at which time
all boys who have earned letters this year will be given
awards. A second event is that of the induction ot the
senior members into the Murray Alumni "M" Club, an
active organization of former letter men.
Officers during the year were: Ralph DeYoung, presi-
dent, Bob Steveken, vice president, Gordon Lindgren,
treasurer.

President Charles Grose has endeavored this year to
make homeroom representatives, as well as board
members, conscious of the need of selling student self-
government to everyone. ln this he has succeeded to on
extent that the entire group and its adviser, Mrs. Ruth
Eddy, can be proud of the Student Council leading the
woy toward unifying school principles.
During the state convention of Student Councils,
Murray's members housed out-of-town delegates as
their guests. Meeting others engaged in similar school
activities was both proitable and enjoyable. Hdts off
to Murray's Student Council of '49!

All is lost? Do not give up so easily. Operated with
precision-like efhciency is the Lost and Found, This year
the Student Council moved the Lost and Found to the
ticket window. Here daily S. C. members are on duty
giving service to fellow classmates.
Operating the window at this moment is Delores Ro-
senquist. A grateful individual is Raymond Lotz as he
gets his lost pen. Waiting to ask, "Did you find a
blue wool scarf?" is Mary Ann Gruber.
Everyone in the nation is familiar with Christmas
Seals, ond Murray students look forward each year to
see what the new design may be, That probably ac-
counts for the excellent contribution made by school
members as the Student Council conducted the drive.
While representatives did the selling during home-
room periods, S. C. members who were responsible for
the organization of the drive were David Briggs and
Carolyn Acton.

IT'S MUSIC TO MURRAY'S BAND
No snappy marching unit! How dreadful! Of course,
the school of T849 did not have much use for a band.
Neither did it miss having a band playing at assemblies
because it had no auditorium. And neither did a band
perform on skates!
Today, the band, often taken for granted, is very
essential to school life. Parading in many civic, as well
as school affairs, the Murray musicians have become a
well-coordinated marching unit.
This year the band surely made history when its di-
rector, Mr. Alex Heron, dreamed up the idea of a band
on skates for the State Hockey Tournament in February.
With only a few preliminary practices on ice, the band
became famous for its entertainment between the
games at the St. Paul Auditorium. Forming the school
"M", and making large circles, the band made a color-
ful setting for figure skaters, Pam Haas and Shirley
Swensen, as the girls gave solo exhibitions for the
hockey crowds.
Earlier in the year, Mr. Heron and his ragtimers "laid
them in the aisles" as the group played for many pep
assemblies.
One of the band's never-to-be-forgotten perform-
ances was given at a variety show which they spon-
sored this spring in conjunction with an Elk's group.
Many hours of puffing and pounding were consumed
in preparation for this unusual presentation.
Boarding a chartered bus, the band members trav-
eled to St. Cloud, Minnesota, January 23, where they
presented a concert at the Veterans' Hospital. A return
engagement is planned for July 3.
Page fifty-six
The month of March featured two concerts given by
the combined Murray High and Columbia Heights High
School bands. The first was performed at Murray and
the second at Columbia Heights.
Everyone awaits the yearly Spring Concert when let-
ters are given to outstanding senior members. This year
proved no exception, and the tricky arrangements and
wide variety of numbers gave friends a pleasant mem-
ory of Murray's band.
Although Murray's award-snatching outfit has ap-
peared very impressive in its blue and white uniforms,
the members are looking forward to next fall when
dark trousers, and new hats bedecked with plumes
will be added to give the band the "New Look".
During the year the band found many other oppor-
tunities to be of service and to "strut its stuft". It
marched with the Mechanic Arts High School band at
the Twin-City football game.
Always performing in fine traditional manner and
always receptive to new ideas in the whirl of busy
today, the band enioyed a pleasant, date-packed
year. Besides group participation, individual entries
were placed in various competitive contests, ranging
from outside sponsors to district and state events. In-
deed the schools of yesterday missed much in the field
of musical expression and broadening interests as is
attested by Murray's enterprising band of today, with
its inspiring director-Mr. Alex Heron.
ON THE GRIDIRON, STAGE, SKATES
In Minnesota fall mornings are either bright and
crisp or damp and foggy, in winter darkness is still
abroad when the schoolhouse doors swing open.
Regardless of weather conditions, the school's or-
chestra members meet the day as "the dawn patrol".
While others are making a last-minute rush before the
bell, the faithful musicians have accomplished an hour's

practice. Several members also belong to the band.
Crowning work of the year was the orchestra's per-
formance at the "A" Choir's presentation of the op-
eretta, Chimes of Normandy, in April.
Under the direction of Mr. Alex Heron the orchestra
is building for the future as several of its members are
in the junior high school group.

IS IT GIRLS' LEAGIQE DAY?
A familiar question is the above as every Murray girl is a member of this excellent organization. Here seated are
Miss Catherine Daly, adviserg with Mary Atkinson, vice president, and Joan Proshek, president. Standing are pro-
gram chairman, Shirley Swensen, treasurer, Audrey Grove, secretary, Margie Johnsen.
Going Skating?
If you are, here is Miss Audrey Heinz of
the Simplicity Pattern Company explaining
the advantageous points of the skating cos-
tume modeled by Ann Rohleder. Catherine
Zandlo is shown wearing a well-tailored
winter outfit. '
In the "good old golden-rule days" there was no opportunity
for great-grandmother to strut across a stage displaying the
stiff, brocaded gown she had just completed. In addition to hav-
ing no style shows, yesterday's school was without home eco-
nomics classes, and girls had to depend upon their mothers' exi-
perience and instruction.
Today, girls have an opportunity to follow the latest fashions.
Two style shows were presented by the Girls' League in coop-
eration with the Simplicity Pattern Company. Members of Mrs.
Leona Hanson's sewing classes were the models. Under the guid-
ance of Miss Catherine Daly, the Girls' League sponsored a wide
variety of programs, the first of which was a talent show fea-
turing this year's new members. Its birthday in February was
celebrated with a party and an honest-to-goodness birthday
cake.
Of course, funds are necessary for activities and excellent
programs, and the girls worked hard on their chief money-rais-
ing proiect, the Caramel Apple Sale. The result of this effort
was a mother-daughter party for the senior girls.
The organization, realizing the need of a set of china for the
school's use, began the collection of pennies, dimes, and nickels
for this project. After each meeting members were asked to slip
a few cents into collection boxes at the door. Joan Proshek,
president, feels that it has been a pleasant and satisfactory
year for Girls' League.

CLASS PLAY IS SMASH HIT
"Look out for that firecrackerl" "Gee, are Those snakes real?" "I-lere,
kitty, kitty, kitty!" All were familiar statements during the rehearsal period
of the Senior Class Play, You Can't Take It With You. A double cast was
trained under the direction of Miss Florence Vest, and for weeks Murray's
auditorium resounded with firework explosions, xylophone notes, and type-
writer keys, together with a background of toe dancing and the banging
of a printing press.
Chuck Whitehead and Harold I-lelgeson had fun mastering the art of
pipe smoking while Don Kosel and Chuck Michaelson studied extra hours
on the xylophone. Groucho and Harpo, two small black and white kittens,
received as much attention from the students during rehearsal as from the
audience the nights of the performances.
You Can't Take It With You is the story of one family who believed in
doing whatever each enjoyed most. Everyone was happy pursuing his own
interests until Alice, the only really sane member of the household, fell in
love with Tony, the son of a Wall Street financier. Tony's parents arrived
unexpectedly at the Sycamore's house only to be arrested by police and
thrown in iail. For awhile it seemed as though things would never turn out

MURRAY'S MESSENGER-THE MURCURIE

Grey hairs should surely adorn the head of Robert Joseph by
the end of the year. As business manager of the Murcuie he has
directed a thrifty group of penny-pinchers whose problem it was to
hnance the paper and make ends meet. Not the least of these
worries was to keep the editors from planning expensive lay-outs.
Among the schemes to keep "The Murk" out of the red were the X.-
sale of plastic book covers and the popular "singing telegrams" 4
service. In the latter the Murcuie is greatly indebted to choir mem-
bers and Mrs. Helen McGeever, music instructor.

i
Circulation managers found work simplified this year by Bob
Joseph's post office system of distribution. It was indeed a busy
year for the Murcurie business staff and its adviser, Miss Elsea
Peterson.
Indispensable to the publications department are the three secre-
taries-Patricia MacDonald, Donna Pederson, and Mary Ellen Hoag-
lund. Ever ready to take either a letter or a batch of copy, the
girls have been busy near deadline time.
When the hours went by too quickly, other members of Miss
Valborg Helseth's advanced class were ready and willing to see
that everything was in order at the proper time. Poge Sixty-two
Deadlines followed by deadpans
the following day are all too com-
mon in the business of the Mur-
curie editorial staff. Each issue
finds editors, reporters, and aspir-
ing iournalists dashing about gath-
ering leads, scoops, and all the
nevvs that is tit to print. At times all
of this becomes very confusing and
sometimes amusing.
Mary Sue Krebs and Mary Lou-
ise Markley headed an able staff
that won an All-American rating
for their paper this year. The staFf's
sports editor, Bing Thompson, had
a writer's Held day when he cov-
ered the state hockey tournament
and watched Murray's team strive
to bring home the title while ad-
viser, Miss Margaret Glenn,
cheered from the sidelines.
Shirley Swensen, co-news editor,
traveled to Red Wing to see Mr.
William Carey, exchange teacher
from England, adviser of the Red
Wing Chieftain. Other members
visited elementary schools, inter-
viewed the great and near great
in St. Paul, and did publicity for
all departments who desired the
services of the Fourth Estate.

Everywhere Murray's PILOT
taff turned this year they came
ace to face with their theme.
osters, newspapers, radio pro-
rams-the whole state seemed
ent on making the Minnesota
erritorial Centennial something
o remember. By August i948,
he opening section plans for
he book had been completed.
Art editor, Kyle Peterson, was
ighly esteemed around the
ILOT office after his creation,
'Sure 'Nuff, was unanimously
approved. Eileen Gavin, senior
ditor, and Joan Manson, as-
istant, had everyone beat as
ar as efficiency and speed
were concerned. Editors, Sue
Preus and Georgia Cook, along
with Joyce Christensen, feature
editor, were busy making big
plans for Prom and homecom-
ing layouts, While, above the
usual din, business managers,
Roger Wood and Paul Mielke,
ftore their hair and implored
everyone to-"Watch the budg-
et, watch the budget!"

EVERY STUDENT IS A MEMBER
An organization that carries a program ot service,
both national and local, is Murray's Junior Red Cross
Chapter.
Under the direction ot Mrs. Agnes Smith, the students
have added another record of outstanding service.
During the tall all rooms participated in hlling boxes
for distribution overseas. Chapter board members had
the responsibility ot checking and packing.
At holiday time the Red Cross otticers tound hours

its motto the Murray group launched its annual drive

the representatives and board members asked tor gen-

This year the school was represented in the St. Paul
Red Cross Council by Beverly Bailey who held the oltice
ot second vice president. Beverly attended a national
meeting ot the organization during the past summer in
San Francisco.
The Murray Chapter selected a memorial tor the
school library to Louis Peter, one of the Red Cross
board members, who died during the year.

SCRIBES ARE WORLD-MINDED
Quill and Scroll
Boasting one of the largest memberships in the
story of the Stephen Vincent Benet Chapter of Quill
d Scroll, this year's group has scattered its talents
many ways.
While the maiority ot the twenty-two members are
nnected with the school's publications, many find
e tor participation in other activities.
Quill and Scroll is primarily an honorary organi-
tion for individuals who have given service in the
urnalism department or who have excelled in cre-
ive writing.
This year the group headed by Mary Sue Krebs,
resident, decided to go world minded and help
urray support an Austrian child. In order to do this
e group gave up financing the yearly creative
riting contest.
Two initiations, one in the tall and the other in
ay, gave members an opportunity to get together
nd enioy lite away from "ems" and "picas". An
ddition to Quill and Scroll this year was the pur-
ase by the club of a seven branch candelabrum tor
itiations. The group also worked on a revision ot
e journalism Hles.

YESTERDAY A DREAM
Traditional Christmas songs and carols were present-
ed by the choir and soloists at an assembly and eve-
ning performance of the annual candlelight program.
For the first time in Murray's history, the majestic strains
of Handel's great "Hallelujah Chorus" echoed through
the auditorium.
This and the singing of carols in the halls were the
choir's inspiring contribution to the spirit of Christmas,
which was enlarged by a special trip which the carolers
made to Ancker Hospital.
Talent was discovered among the junior class mern-
bers of the "A" Choir during tryouts for the i948 op-
eretta, H. M. S. Pinafore, and a number played leading
roles in the production. The third operetta by Gilbert
and Sullivan to be presented at Murray, Pinafore is
the story of a lowly sailor in love with the captain's
daughter who must choose between him and her high
social rank. The situation is reversed, however, when a
nursemaid of the captain and sailor admits that she
confused the two as children.

TODAY A CULTURAL JOY
Indispensable to Murray High School is its eighty-
voice choir. Its well-trained members offer a marked
contrast to the singing school of Minnesota's territorial
days.
Saint Paul from its early history has always been as-
sociated with cultural achievements, and in that respect
Murray's choir has added to the advancement of music
in giving both participants and listeners an opportunity
to appreciate the best in music. This year the choir,
directed by Mrs. Helen McGeever, has contributed an
outstanding year's work to Murray's history. Early in the
tall choir members chose Paul Richardson as their presi-
dent, Joan Piper as vice president, Suzanne Preus as
secretary, and Donald Harvey as treasurer.
The busy schedule for i948-49 began apprehensive-
ly with the procedure of testing voices which was re-
peated as a demonstration lesson for Dr. Winslow's
class in music education from the University of Minne-
sota. After members had been placed in their respective
sections, the choir was ready to begin rehearsing for
assembly programs. At a meeting of the M, E. A., four
members from each of the eight sections were selected
to sing in the All-State Chorus led by Don Craig, one
of Fred VVaring's choral directors. These numbers were
repeated for an assembly at which Charles Grose, an
active "A" Choir student, directed, and for a P. T. A.
meeting at which time Miss Mathilda Heck acted as
guest conductor.
A date of significance to the choir and to every Mur-
rayite with romantic inclinations is February l4, Valen-
tine's Day. Singing telegrams, sponsored by the Mur-
curie, were sung by groups of two and three choir
members acting as cupid's messengers.
A great deal of excitement accompanied the big
auestion of the year-what operetta was to be given?
The Chimes of Normandy or The Bells of Corneville
was scarcely selected when a new problem arose. Try-
outs for leads uncovered a great deal of talent, which
made choosing the large cast extremely difficult. After
extensive tryouts and keen competition the parts were
double and triple cast. Hours of practice during and
after school to perfect solos and choruses, rehearse the
orchestra, and prepare pre-views resulted in two per-
formances given in April when the choir successfully
and ably presented the finished operetta. In spite of
the hard work necessary, the cast found time to have
fun and to laugh at their problems.
Still the year's program for the choir was not over.
As in previous years following the operetta, the choir
directed its energy to more practicing so that members
might honor the Class of T949 at baccalaureate and
commencement,
Other music students augment the "A" Choir with
programs in and outside of school. The Harvest, a can-
tata, was given by members of the "B" Choir, who re-
hearsed numbers to be sung by the "A" Choir in addi-
tion to their own in case extra voices were needed. For
the Christmas program of Girls' League, the Girls' Glee
Club presented a group of songs and carols with so-
loists.
The Girls' Sextette and the Boys' Quartet or Melody
Four are two musical groups that have become well-
known outside of school as well as to the students for
their excellent singing and lively programs.

To everyone who is responsible for the organization
of Boys' League congratulations are surely the order of
the day. Both officers and board members have been
building the foundations during these past months for a
promising Boys' League future.
While many boys have been engaged in sports or
affiliated with other clubs, both Principal W. J. Scanlan
and Assistant Principal John Wooley felt that an or-
ganization was needed that would in some way unify
the common interests of high school boys.
Meetings each month were of interest to members as
sports, occupational opportunities, summer work, civic
attitudes, and other topics received consideration. Mr.
Wooley, adviser, aided by president Jack Folsom and
the program committee, endeavored to secure top
speakers and entertainment.
"While our field has been somewhat limited this
year," comments Mr. Wooley, "we hope to have a very
active and useful Boys' League next fall. It takes time
to get rolling. We aim to hold the interest of our mem-
bers, to aid all boys who need individual help, and to
be of service to the school."
The organization's social event of the season was a
valentine dance sponsored iointly with Girls' League.
During intermission Patricia Palarine was chosen as the
queen of the valentine celebration.
Jack Folsom, president, deserves special mention for
helping to get Boys' League into the field of the school's
activities.
Making Others Happy
Generous Americans are these Boys' League rep-
resentatives as they help Quill and Scroll members
pack a gift box for tvlurray's European child. Wrap-
ping and packing packages are Ron Christians and
John Kreuthmeier.

CANTEEN NIGHTS ARE
TOPS WITH MURRAYITES
Everyone from seniors to freshmen fro-
licked to the Canteen on Friday evenings
to "see the gang." Most of the fun was
derived from sipping "cokes" and smoothly
bouncing to the latest "luke-box" records.
"Swing your partner with a do-si-do."
Although most of the dancing at the Mur-
ray Canteen this year was carried on in the
popular vein, square dancing was met with
the enthusiastic approval of the students
who clapped in rhythm with the calls.
Special dances including the Harvest Ball
were sponsored by the Canteen Committee.
Free dances featuring Twin City bands such
as Bud Strawn were approved by the stu-
dents. "After-school dances" were also pop-
ular.
During the year even the rumba and
conga found their way into the varied
dance program.

Acquire More Than Technical Skills
The better positions in business demand more of young people today than a working knowledge of a
few business skills. Successful applicants for top-flight positions must have pleasing personalities, initia-
tive, poise, enthusiasm, and ability to get along with others. Fortunately, these qualities can be ac-
quired by study and training iust as surely as skill in typing, shorthand, and accounting can be
acquired. This program of study is called "Career Training" here at the Minnesota School of Business.
In these classes, the fine art of successful human relations is carefully studied under the guidance of
capable teachers.

Which to exchange is the question as Art Koch and Dolores Harris look over their pictures at Gollings Studio.
y Do you recall the exciting day of last fall when you got your proofs from
GOLLlNG'S? Some seniors were surprised to find that they were so photo-
genic. Others iust HAD to have retakes.
At GOLLlNG'S STUDIO willing helpers and photographers worked
patiently to satisfy the hundreds of patrons from various high schools-a
compliment in itself that this studio was chosen by the maiority of all high
school sudents.
Come fall and another group of seniors will find their way to the studio
that gives efficient and satisfactory service.
