She will--you can depend on it, She won't--that's the end of it. CLASS HISTORY On Tuesday, September 2, 1941, high school began for 51 freshmen who had high hopes of grad- uating in 1945. The most outstanding feat of their first year was the remarkable green-papered Freshman Astonisher. Their adviser, Miss Paulson, certainly had a job on her hands. The class prexy, Marilyn Twedt, helped her through some of the tough spots. The evenings spent in the par- lor popping corn for the defense stamp drive won't be forgotten either. The all-school party re- ally made the frosh work, too. The HGreen Houseu with all those baby pictures really did them justice. The year closed by making 26 freshies sophomores. Being sophomores made them feel like a lot. The class had grown to 35 members and Dorothy Boone was president the first semester5 the second semester she joined the WACS. After this vice president NBtu Molberg took over. Miss Wollan had the distinction of being the class adviser. Valentines day brought a party for the sophs in which--to be eligible--a boy had to bring at least 5 girls. On April Fool's Day a peanut shower, never to be forgotten, came about. For an hour after school the whole class worked cleaning halls, rooms and assembly in tze Main. This year was their turn to be waitresses at the junior-senior banquet. Well, at last they were juniors. Lucinda was their president this time. Their minds were set, from the beginning of the year, on how to obtain funds for the banquet in the spring. All of them took turns selling hot dogs at the basketball games. But the crowning feature and some- thing different in the history of A. A. was the Junior Musicale. Their adviser, Miss Scott, cer- tainly worked helping them with the formal program. This, however, was merely a prelude to QPlease turn to page 55.5 American School 1,25 Class Pres. 45 Dorm Treas. .'b LeVern Nielsen fb 8 . Dorothea Asper Alcester, S. D. M.C. Sec. 25 Dorm V.

Considerable gardeningis done to provide veg- l etables for the dining hall. Milk, pork, and beef are provided by the school farm. Adequate space is provided on and near the campus for athletic games and other recreation. . BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT The three buildings on the campus are the ,administration building, the girls' dormitory, and the gymnasium. The administration building, a four story structure of Sioux Falls granite, houses in the basement the steam heating plant, manual train- irig shop, and chemical laboratory, on the first two floors the offices, book store, class rooms, chapel and library, and on the upper two floors the boys' dormitory which will accommodate 50 boys. The girls' dormitory, a three story building, will room from 80 to 90 girls. On the ground Igloor are the dean's rooms, reception room, mu- . . . , 16 studios, practice rooms, teachers apartments, and infirmary. In the basement are the dining hall, kitchen, laundry, home economics labora- tory, and storage rooms. The gymnasium, a gift to the Academy, largely from the people of Canton and vicinity, is a modern brick building. It is equipped with dressing rooms, shower rooms, and a swimming pool. The playing floor is 48 by 70, with bal- conies extending the entire length of the build- ing. On the stage is a pipe organ donated by the Canton Lutheran congregation. Used as a concert or assembly hall, this building accom- modates 1,000 people. Adjoining the campus are the president's residence and the principal's residence, which were recently purchased for the school. Last summer a house was given to the school by Mr. and Mrs. John Overseth. This spring, the school purchased an additional house to be used as a home for lady teachers. ..a..4..- I , .--1631-1 .11 .1-N, . . 1: irkgii , .fo- Ganfan, Saudi: fbakofa A V'.4 A ' 3 ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS 'A Anyone who has graduated from the eighth grade and is definitely interested in putting on the Lord Jesus Christ and in growing in His STANDARDS This is a Christian institution and one of our purposes is to lead our young people into a full Christian life, therefore we have set up a high standard of rules keeping the general welfare of all in mind. The specific rules and regula- tions may be found in our Handbook which may be obtained by asking us to send one. Because our Lord has also commanded us to abstain from all appearance of evil We have found it necessary to enforce the following: The school will not permit the use of tobacco in any form by the students while they are en- rolled at the Academy. Students will not be permitted to attend movies, frequent dances, taverns, pool halls and bowling alleys, or play cards while at the Academy. Since the American custom of going to town on Saturday evenings is responsible for many unfortunate things in American life, we do not encourage students to follow this custom. We strongly disapprove of the practice of loiter- ing in cafes and other public places, especially in the evenings. grace and knowledge, and who is willing to- observe all the rules and regulations of our Christian Academy, ,will be gladly accepted. OE CONDUCT Students are not permitted to go up town on Sunday evenings. We believe these regulations are in harmony with the spirit of one father's remark when he said: We do not send our children to the Acad- emy to have them turned loose on the streets of Canton. Students will not be permitted to keep auto- mobiles while in attendance at the Academy or go car riding without an approved chaperone. Experience has taught us that individual fel- lowship between boys and girls of high school age is almost always harmful to the individuals involved as well as to the rest of the students, unless it is carefully regulated. Since students often object strenuously to any type of control in this department of school life, we strongly recommend that students cultivate general .in- stead of individual fellowship with the opposite sex. This does make for a finer development of social life in any boarding school of high school grade. We trust that the deans will receive full cooperation in this matter, in order that We may continue to grant the privilege of an oc- casional date. GENERAL REGULATIONS g g Since good health is essential, if one is to get the most out of school work, all new students are required to have a physical examination shortly before entering and to present a certifi- cate indicating physical fitness. The physician should indicate whether or not the student is physically fit to participate in athletics. Students are expected to furnish their own text books. These are secured at the Academy Bookstore, and their cost varies according to the subjects studied, usually between 35.00 and 310.00 for the year. Many books may be pur- chased second-hand, if desired. Non-resident students will be expected to room in the dormitories unless other arrange- ments are made with the administration. Stu- dents who room in the dormitories are required also to board at the Academy. ' ' No discount will be allowed for temporary absence unless in case of sickness or other valid reason the student is absent from school two weeks or more. Students responsible for breakages are ex- pected to report same and make arrangements for replacement. ' Satisfactory sett1ement,of accounts must be. made before receiving honorable dismissal, cer- tificate of credit or diploma. A student's sem- ester accounts must be paid in full before. a report of semester credits will be issued. Only those students may graduate who are recom- mended by the faculty on the basis offdfhracter. 4' . , 1 L - - I fqfafwf , ' L Y ' il ' STUDENT ACTIVITIES 1 Though these activities are quite completely covered by the pictorial section of this catalog, there are certain things which cannot be adequately pictured or need further explanation. This section is therefore added to supplement the pictorial. ' On Thursday evening of each week the stu- dents gather for an hour of hymn singing, dis- cussion, and prayer. Voluntary evening devotions are held by the boys and girls in their respective dormitories. Extension programs in communities outside of school afford opportunity for witnessing in word and song. This extension work is done by the mission crusaders which also meet regularly to study missions and to listen to visiting mis- sionaries. Academy students conduct their own Luth- er League. Meetings are held Sunday evenings at the Canton Lutheran Church. Canton Lutheran church, is the church home of Academy students and faculty. In its Sunday School are classes for all. The L. D. R. meets once a month and is open to all girls of the school. Chapel exercises are conducted every morn- ing. Members of the faculty and outside speakers have charge except one day of the week when one of the .classes takes charge of the hour. Christian student organizations also give monthly chapel programs. . --I 4 In 1942, the A Cappella choir rrfdde its fourth consecutive spring tour, visiting western Min- nesota and singing concerts in each of the Twin Cities before returning to school. In 1941, Chi- cago, Illinois, was included D in the concert itinerary. Due to the presenf-war em gency, the tours were omitted in 1943 and 195: This spring, the choir again undertook a tour, travel- ing through parts of eastern South Dakota. When student interest is sufficient, a small band furnishes instrumental music for the bas- ketball games during the year. Four years ago, the athletic activities were placed upon a strictly intra-mural basis and letters are awarded upon a point basis. The program includes football, basketball, kitten- ball, volley ball, hiking, skating, swimming, horseshoe, and ping pong. Members of the Augustana Academy chapter of the National Forensic League are active on the campus, and have participated in inter- scholastic debate both at home and in tourna- ments out of town. The Athenian literary society, composed of seniors and sophomores, and the Ciceronian literary society, made up of juniors and fresh- men, were organized during the past school year. They present alternate bi-weekly as- sembly programs. ARTICLES TO BEING , Every student should bring a Bible, a new Concordia Hymnal, a dictionary and any other books that may be of service in schoolwork. The school furnishes beds, matresses, chairs, dressers and tables. Students rooming in the dormitory should bring a pillow, pillow cases, sheets, blankets or quilts, towels, rugs, table runners, dresser scarfs, pictures, window curtains, a drinking glass, napkins and a napkin ring. Stu- dents are also expected to have their own scrub- bing pails, dust mops, dust cloths, clothes pins, and if they are going to do their own ironing they should supply their own irons and pressing cloths.

It may become necessary to increase this price slightly for the second semester in case food prices advance greatly. It is under- stood that all food rationing books be turned over to the school during the time students get their food furnished by the school. If a family has more than one child in attendance at the same time, the tuition is reduced to 525.00 for each child. -1 Since commodities must be paid for in advance, it is necessary to ask the students to pay in advance. Those who are not able to pay for the entire semester on registration day will be asked to pay for a month or six weeks, and the balance will be payable in installments during the semester. All students will be asked to pay the activities, publications, library and hospital fees. Other- wise, only those who are making use of a particular service will be asked to pay the fee. For example, only those studying biology will be asked to pay the fee of two dollars, etc. i 6 rw , - CURRICULUM CHRISTIANITY First Year - One of the Gospels Second Year - The Acts Third Year - Church History Fourth Year - Bible Doctrine COMMERCIAL Typing I Typing II Shorthand I Bookkeeping I Junior Business Training ENGLISH English I First Semester - Grammar and Composition Second Semester - Literature English II First Semester - Grammar and Composition Second Semester - Literature 'English III Twelve Weeks of Grammar and Composition Remainder American Literature English IV Twelve Weeks of Grammar and Composition Remainder English Literature Public Speaking Journalism LANGUAGE 'German I German II Latin I Latin II 'Not offered MATHEMATICS Algebra Plane Geometry Higher Algebra - One Semester Solid Geometry - One Semester PHYSICAL EDUCATION Calisthenics and Sports SCIENCE General Science Biology Chemistry 'Physics SOCIAL SCIENCE American History World History Civics - One Semester Economics - One Semester VOCATIONAL Home Economics I One Semester Cooking, One Sewing Home Economics II One Semester Cooking, One Sewing Shop I Elementary Woodwork and Drawing Shop II Cabinet Making and Turning i'Shop III Farm Shop i Shop IV Frame Building Construction in 1945-46 , ! 2'Li 'LM K 3i. m ' u Q, f 4-J, .

Sioux Pulls SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Continued from page lO the junior-senior banquet. In spite of the fact that the entirety of the class wasn't of Norse descent, the theme of their banquet became UNorway, the Land of the Midnight Sun. May 8 was a busy day for the banquet com- mittees. Decorating and all arrangements were made with the full cooper- ation of the class. Then, of course, semester tests and 57 people finish- ed their junior year. September 13, 1944 brought back the A. A. students, of whom the sen- iors were examples for the lower classmen. Where there were only seven boys last year, there were now ten. Olaf Braaten was the class president, Qand the first time in this class' history that a boy had been president, and again Miss Scott was their adviser. Dorothea Asper and LeRoy Stadem were chosen royalty for the homecoming activities. Outstanding of the activities in the fall was the rainy night chosen for a hay-ride that turned out to be a car ride to their destination. The time came for them to give their first senior chapel program. They looked ahead to the fut- ure. It was their turn to be kept in the dark about junior-senior banquet plans, their turn to be rushed for the name cards, their turn to pick out class colors, flower, motto, compose their class song. They were the ones measured for caps and gowns. It was their turn to walk across the plat- form and receive diplomas. Then high school days were over for '45ers and they left A. A. for homes far and near. QThey have gone, Mr. Strand, so once again you can breathe easily.j But now that the class of 1945 has become members of the Alumni Association, will they be missed at A. A., gone but not forgotter? Their hope and prayer is that their lives at school made a lasting imprint on many of the hearts of the students to graduate in future years. FARMERS ELEVATGR CO.
