The old Blair High is about to be superseded by a new structure of more magnificent proportions and more adequate facilities, yet lacking the wealth of memories which endear to us the old. That the 1929 Yearbook may in some measure serve to throw upon the screen of memory in years to come the' victories and defeats, the labors and the pleasures, the friendships and rival- ries that have been so large a part of our lives during this om- last year in Blair High School, is the modest but earnest desire of THE STAFF.

Mo., 1925 Graduate Study, University of Nebraska, 131343, '28 The beginning of tl1is school year brought with it Qllr. Flack as our new principal. He soon gained the respect and admiration of everyone with whom he came in contact. His winning personality and his inexhaustible good nature have endeared him to the members of the student body, not only as principal and teacher. but also as a friend and companion in their school life. In light of this years experience, we confidentially look to him to maintain tl1e spirit and ideals of our school in years to come, and to make it a bigger and bet- ter Blair High School. MARIE BOURKE tPrincipal of Junior Highj Peru State Teachers' College University of Nebraska Miss Bourke has had a most enviable record in the Blair Schools-loved, respected and admired by pupils, patrons and co-workers. For the past three years she has been principal of Junior High, and has achieved many noteworthy aims. She has proved an excellent teacher, having devoted her best and sincerest efforts toward impressing upon her pupils the essentials of character and good scholarship, She will not be with us next year, but it is certain that she has created in her pu- pils ideals and attitudes which will never he des- troycd. l'zl::c 'Fin . ,.,. ,.,,,..l .. - , e,-...., -.. .

Miss Buser-staying in town week-ends. Miss Pew-down-hearted. Mr. Park-dieting. Miss Hutchinson-singing in the corridors. Mr. DeGroff-playing a ukelele. Mr. Flack-dancing a classical interpretation of Spring. Tips for the Faculty s By llnmkilb If you are a new teacher and a student should smite you with an ink bottle, throw it right back at him, for remember the old adage, When in Rome shoot Roman candles. - Men teachers, when meeting school lasses on the street, should raise their hats. If you have no hat just raise your eyebrows. Never upon any provocation throw a student down stairs. Emily Post says this is the height of rudeness, and it is much more effective to carry him down and assist hi-m out the door by a well placed kick. Always be considerate of others. If you wish to vent your wrath on a student by heaping five-syllable imprecations on his brow, hand him a Webster's Knowledge Pamphlet so he can tell what you are calling him. Do not give a student ninety-nine in a test of any kind. The shock of coming so close to one hundred may prove disastrous and cause him to revert to the stage of the Pithecanthropus erectus , which-in case you do not know-means a monkey with the brains of a soda cracker. 1 I Page Seven v f 'N .-.f.l'Q'f'e.

In Retrospect After twelve years of more or less diligent search for knowledge, inter- spersed with and accompanied by the usual quantity of miscellaneous juvenile pains and pleasures, sixty-four high and mighty seniors are about to step from the threshold of high school life, either to take a plac-e at once among the workers of the world or to continue their preparation for some special task. There may be those among us who experience relief and pleasure at the thought that a strenuous course has been run, but 'most of us surely contem- plate our departure with deep and sin-cere regret. Twelve years ago, some twenty-five 'of our number made our debut as students in the Blair Schools-eager, wide-eyed, and expectant. Each suc- ceeding year brought us new experiences, many of which impressed themselves indelibly upon our plastic minds. Each new year added new members, while some dropped from our ranks. Of all these years our Senior year has, to most of us, seemed especially in- teresting and enjoyable, and will be cherished the longest in our memories. Together, as a class, we have worked and striven-and played, together we give our last fond farewell. Rules for the Seniors, of the Seniors, and by the Seniors 1. Never ask for pink slips, the teachers don 't care where you are anyway. 2. Always loiter in the halls, Miss Buser enjoys your company. 3. Never take a hard subject, it causes mental exertion. 4. Always cheat in examinations, it gives you credit. , 5. Never ask your teachers for history paper, help yourself and then you 'll know you are helped. . 6. Never carry scrap paper to the waste paper basket, drop it quietly a short distance from your desk, the janitor wants to have some signs to know where he has swept. Q 7. Never ask permission t-o borrow a book, take it. 8. Never prepare your lessons, it simply isn 't being done. 9. Never hand a book to anyone, throw it, it saves time and causes more confusion. 10. Never hesitate to go when or where you please 'on examination day, roll will probably n-ot be taken. i A Page N lneteen Senior Class Will Know ye all men by these Presents: that we, the class of 1929 of the Blair High School, being of sound mind and memory, do make and declare this to be our last Will and Testament. In publishing this will, we do hereby revoke any and all Wills by us at any time heretofore made. Taking into consideration this aforesaid provision, we make the following bequests: First, We, the Seniors individually and collectively, do hereby will and be- queath to the Juni-or Class, our sponsor, Mr. Flack in order that they may realize more fully, our present affection toward him in that capacity. I, Bazil Lazure, do will and bequeath my ability to raise the champion corn crop to Alfons Shultz. I, Glady.s Harkey, do will and bequeath my Southern accent to Margaret Badgerow, s-o that she may incite interest in her class reeitations. I, Teresa Foley, do will and bequeath my seat in the assembly to Elizabeth Love so she may -sneak out of the assembly when the teachers aren't looking. I, Carter Brunton, do will and bequeath my collection of suspenders to Alfred Jensen. I, Ruth Lund, do will and bequeath my studious nature to Adolph Peterson. I, Bernice Stricklett, do will and bequeath my dimple to Mary Moore so that her charm may be complete. I, Violet Pearce, do will and bequeath my shorthand ability to Mac Allen so that he may go to Omaha to the next Commercial Contest. I, Eileen Thompson, do will and bequeath my bashful Ways to Caroline Aye. I, Eleanor Dixon, do will and bequeath my interest in extra-curricular ac- tivities to Jean Stewart.

I, Leona Hansen, do will and bequeath my quiet temperament to Francis Kelly, in an effort at Worth-while m-oderation. ' I, Edwin Lindstrom, do will and bequeath my power over women to Russel Johns so that he need no longer worry about being an old Bachelor. I, Harry Paulsen, do will and bequeath my affections for the opposite sex to Richard Lippincott, in order that Blair High will not be without romance in the coming year. I, Helen Svengaard, do will and bequeath my eloquent dramatic gestures and expostulations to Vance Nielsen so that he may act out his jokes and thus make them more effective. I, Edna Bouvier, do will and bequeath my comb and vanity case to Lucile Feer so that her coiffure may appear more elaborate. I, Sad-ie Gamron, do will and bequeath my job at Roberts' Cafe to Ora Brum- baugh in order that he may never be impecunious. I, Lauren Biffar, do will and bequeath my abundant avoirdupois and phy- sical prowess to Woodrosv Biffar so that it may forever remain in the family. I, Louise Matthiesen, do will and bequeath my stately grace and carriage to Ada Gilliam. - l C l Page Twenty I, Mildred Andersen, do will and bequeath my meek and demure ways to Audrey Christensen so that she may never lack these feminine qualities. I, Harvey Kuhr, do will and bequeath to Norman Abbott my faculty for critical analysis of class recitation. I, Mattie Webber, do will and bequeath my rides t-o and from school to Opal Hansen. I, Donald Newell, do will and bequeath my ability to secure dates to Leon Andersen, in order that his popularity may never be questioned. I, Dorothy McDonald, do will and bequeath my late hours to Margaret Linden. . I, Iris Peak, do will and bequeath my serious disposition to Dorothy Baxter. ul, Marjorie Hineline, do will and bequeath my giggles to Irene French so she will not appear so soberly. I, Beulah Gutschow, do will and bequeath my curly hair to Mae Koopman, so that hers may never cause her worry. I, Merrill Hanson, do will and bequeath my excessive modesty in the pres- ence of the gentle sex to Austin Beales.

Debel Page Twenty-Two .g.. . ,.4...1 fx Senior Class Prophecy Land of All Good Spirits In the Year of 2029 All Spirits of the 1929 Graduatifng Class of Blair, Nebraska, High- School will assemble at twelve o'clock midnight on the spot where the high school then stood, to give an account of themselves. Such was the notice that I, departed spirit, read on a sign post early one morning. At once I hurried off. I was one spirit who was anxious to hear from the spirits of my old classmates. It was nearly 12 o'c1ock when I reached the appointed place. An imposing edifice was -on the spot where the old school had stood and I noticed that there were already assembled a large number of familiar forms. As I greet- ed them, a dignified spirit floated over in front of the group, and began to speak in a deep voice. I, as spirit of the Rev. Donald Newell and President of Class of 1929, will take charge of this meeting. In alphabetical order, please come forward and give your testimonials. -First, however, I will give mine and so you shall judge me. I -have spent my life a.s a minister of the Congregation- al Church. I have done my duty towards my country and my church. Now, continue-here, you shall be first. At that he indicated a spirit sitting at his right. - The figure moved slowly forward, and spoke in a slow voice: I am Elmer Anderson. I lived my life cultivating and improving my fruit farm in Wash- ington County, and it was but 30 years ago that I turned it over to my son. Shaking his head, he resumed his position among the group. Several white forms took his place. I saw that they were Mildred Anderson, Belva Barton, Beulah Gutschow, Iris Peak and Karen Jensen. Mildred spoke, I will testify for each and all of us for our lives have all been similar. We taught school for years and gave to the County numb-erless educated citizens. What more could five able schoolma'ams do C! I r-emembered when 'all those girls had worked so hard to make the grade to become teachers. Two more spirits took their places. I am Louis Armstead, Clarinetist of the Chicago Symphonic Orchestra. I used to hold spellbound great audiences hy my clarinet solos. 'The spirit, with Louie 's same old agreeableness, took his place am-ong us. 'The second spirit spoke, I, -Cyril Baer, came up with Louis because I too, spent most of my life making sweet music on my Bass in the same orchestra with him. Then he, too, resumed his seat. The spirits of John Beck1lun and Lauren Biffar next wavered forth. John spok-e while Lauren stood by, with a pleasant grin on his features. Lauren and I were joint -owners of a 500 acre chicken farm. I was manager, and Lauren did the work. We supplied every store in 1Blair and a great many in Omaha with produce. John 's spirit took on the old time selfssatisfied look and they both ambled back towards us. Next rose two feminine spirits. They were Edna Bouvier and Barbara Bow- man. Barbara spoke, Vile spent most of our years as heads of a Commercial School which we organized in Blair. A large spirit took his place after the girls' spirits had left. He gulped and finally stammered, I, Grant Brewster, can't talk much, but I was Football Coach at Harvard for many years. With a sheepish smile he moved back .Page -Twenty-Three -In ' n Ven? among us. I remembered Babe's grand old efforts as a football fighter and speech-maker in Blair High. Next in confession was Carter Brunton 's spirit. VVith directness he said, I was a well-driller all my life and I'll bet I've drilled more and better Wells than any man ever did. It sounded like Carter of the High School days. Then the spirits of the Burger sisters, Helen and NVilma, were next in line. They informed us that they had both married and had owned a Beauty Shop. Gracefully they t-ook their seats to give their place to a girlish spirit already coming forward. It was Eleanor Dixon. I wa.s a leader in Club work for many years. Then I taught Home Economics in an Iowa College until I married. I always knew Eleanor would make good use -of her experience in Club work. A little airy spirit. danced up next and as she came she called, Come on, Teresa, let's go up together. Truly, seeing the Foley sisters together, re- minded me of high school days. Of course Bea had to go into a lot of details which even made several serious spirits smile. She concluded by telling us that she had taught school in almost every part of the country. Teresa had married a rich bachelor, and had lived in a beautiful home in McCarthy. Sadie Gamron was the next spirit and she told us how she had become proprietor of the Gamron Cafe , which she explained would be remem- bered by most of us as Carlson 's Cafe. Dorothy Hain's spirit demurely told us that she had been private secretary to tihe President of the Peterson Silver Mining Inc. until she had married. Yes, it was Oscar Peterson who confirmed the statement later. He had become immensely wealthy. Leona Hansen 's and Meta Hansen 's spirits gave their testimony next. They .said that they had founded a School for Select Young Ladies at Spiker. I sni-ckered, and they politely informed us that :Spiker-when they had last visited the Earth-had a population of several thousand and was a suburb of Blair. That did have me dumb-founded. An-other feminine spirit! I was beginning to wonder if there had been any boys in the class of 1929 at all! It was Gladys Harkey who said, 1 went back to my beloved South and took up my father's work and became a preacher- until I, too, married. lVell , thought I, the girls of the Class of '29 sure- ly must have believed in marriage. Another group -of spirits was coming forward which soon was seen to in- clude Marjory Hineline, Dorothy McDonald, Mattie Weber, Dorothy Masters, and Ella Nielsen They each admitted that teaching had been their greatest joy while on earth. It seemed to me the N-ormal 'Trainers of our Class must have been numberless. Ah! It was a male -spirit this time! Bob Hopewell to be sure! He spoke, It's me, pals, the haruin-scarum of your old high school days! I worked up in the world and became Editor of the New York World -after I had worn out several drums and decided to go to college. More of the same o-ld banter, until Rev. Newell's spirit told him that his time was up! LaVerne Jensen's spirit told us that she had become a Commercial teacher in a large College. l remember that Lu had been champion typist back in 1929! Dorothy Krogh and Vera Lamb came before us next. They explained that they had both had positions in Blair High School, Vera as head of the Normal Training Department and Dorothy as Science teacher. Merrill Hans0n's spirit was next to come before us for testimony. He had CContlnued on page 897 - Page Twenty-Four juniors g AA5 ,i 1 !

Early in the season, the clas-s -organized with the election of the following executive officers to guide the class through the year: Alfred Jensen, Presi- dent, Doris Tilden, Vice-President, Jules Nielsen, Secretary and Treasurer. Miss Hutchinson was chosen sponsor. The class has been well represented in the Various activities of the School. Mary Moore and Alfred Jensen won first hon-ors in the humorous and ora- torical divisions of the Home Declamatory Contest. Madeline Nielsen and Alfred Jensen were both active members of the debate squad. Needless to say, much valuable material for Football, Track, and Basketball was fur- nished by the class. Bill Cappis was elected captain of the 1929 Football Team. The Junior Class Play, The Patsy , was given at the Blair Opera House, January 11. Parts in the play were carried very successfully by Mary Moore, Charles Eliassen, Margaret Badgerow, Madeline Nielsen, Austin Beales, Al- fred Jensen and Guy Van De Venter. The final event was the Junior-Senior banquet, held at the Methodist Church basement, May 18. The decorations were beautifully carried out to represent an ice palace. , rcpepv Vigor, vitality, vim and punch- That's pep! The courage to act on a sudden hunch, That 's pep! The nerve to tackle the hardest thing, With feet that climb, and hands that cling, And a heart that never forgets to sing- That's pep! Sand and grit in a concrete base- That's pepl Friendly smi-le on an honest face- That's pep! The spirit. that helps when another 's down, That knows how to scatter the blackest frown, That loves its neighbor and loves its town That's pep! To say I will --for you know you can- That's pep! To look for the best in every man- That's pep! To meet each thundering knockout blow, To come back with a laugh, because you know, You'll get the best of the whole darned show- THAT'S PEP!

We are represented in every activity in High School. First come our Athletes. Marshall Burger, John Gillispie. Adolf Peterson and Woodrow Sven- gaard have taken part in either Football. Basketball or Track. XVe were no longer Freshmen and thus eligible to the 13 Club. Adolf Peterson and Alice Beckman were elected to membership in that organization. Adolf was made cheer leader. Clara Krogh took part in the declamatory contest and Alice Beekman was a debater. Practically the whole clarinet section in the band and a third of the Glee Club that represented Blair at the District Contest were -Sophomores. At Christmas time we had a party and invited the whole High School. There were Xmas trees, a program-a real Santa Claus and taffied apples. The final event was our picnic in the spring at which everyone had a grand time. 'J Page Thirty .,-Q +5 1, Look Us Over The Sophomore class is hard to beat, It has .such dandy boys, And what about the girls you meet? They 're all the High School 's joys. Now take for instance Adolf, He's little we'll admit But the way he drives those cars around Gives most nice girls a fit. There 's Ernest and Luella That romance so divine, And Vera Nelson's dimples deep Make all boys stand in line. To see Harriett and Dorothea Makes one 'happy be, They 're just the type of Sophomore girls We want to always see. Norma Lund is awfully nice We all like her so wellg And Burger sits and slaves in books Until his poor head swells. Just take a look at Myrtle, Oh, what a baby fact! But John Gillispie takes the cake He was third in the 220 race. There's Sticky, Bill and Woody, That trio so sublime, A Because they are such dashing boys They fit into this rime. We like to think of Ruth and Myrle In scholarship they shine, And Nookie M., the student boy, Get only ninety-nine. Now just imagine Flavor And little Alice, too, As dancing girls on Broadway With billowy clothes of blue. Q Alsyne's the girl we all admire She likes her Latin fine! But Robert Curtis is so bright That really he does shine. Rozella and Moneta Are full of fun, you bet. And Niels spends hours weeping 'Cause he can 't be teacher's pet. Without our dandy sponsor T-his tale were incomplete. We admire our Mr. Belford With the best he can compete. Now there are many more besides, Of those so well defined As Sophomores in Blair High School They're jolly, good and kind. Please, Freshies, don't let this sDiscourage you forever. You, too, next year will have these charms Which Junior-ship will from us sever. Next year we'll just be Juniors A name applied to those Who think themselves a little better Than just before they rose. Farewell to you, fair Sophomore class, When we are Seniors we'l1 recall Those days when we were pride and joy To High School, faculty and all.

Park This certain Freshman class 'loudly clamors for work, adventure and en- tertainment. They have shown their ability to find ample time for all. Scholastics! Have not the senior classes forever chided the green freshies on their sluggardly study habits? Yes!-but not these Freshies. By reading the semester averages competition was aroused. Ruth -Farnham received hon- ors in the Kansas State Algebra test. Although the delegates brought noth ing from Wesleyan, hopes are high for the on-coming year. So that they might acquire adventure for themselves and furnish it for others, a number of boys went out for athletics with vigor. They were: Alvin Brumbaugh, Roy t'hristensen, Howard Ericksen, Walter Go-llehon, Arthur Harding, Joe Johnston, Milford liindstrom, Frederick Nemetz, James Stewart, Clarence Van De Venter, and XVilliam NVentworth. The girls, of course, gained sufficient exercise and adventure by attending the meets. Children must have entertainment. The Frosh class obtained it in vari- ous ways. To enliven their monthly business meetings, a few short declamatory selections and original stories were offered. And then! - A grand Ellld glori- ous picnic closed an eventful year with a resounding slam. S X. Pa ge Thirty-Four 1 '- Lt., ,,...,. -.,., g.. V.- l You'll Never See Niles Hansen-with a book.

The Freshmen The Freshmen are a set so gay, so merry all the day, So quick and earnest in their work, so honest in their play. They never do a single thing, that could be c-ounted wrong, Nor stand around with grouchy looks, whene'er a lesson's long. No matter how the weather is, they 're each one in his place, And when it comes to Credits, they're forem-ost in the race. No matter if the work is hard,'they try to do their best, And oftentimes success is theirs, to give them added zest. You ought to come and hear their class, and see what they can do, In Algebra, and Latin and th-e other studies, t-oo. And these .lines that I have given, don't begin to tell you all The many things this class has done since early in the fall. Some Freshmen are looked down upon, because of their degree, But such is not the case with these, you all can plainly see, And anyway, the Freshman gay will soon be blithe Sophomores, And not be ridiculed to death as they have been before.

We have no apologies t-o offer. We feel that we have very enthusiastically supported our school and displayed unusual school spirit. At all football and basketball games Junior High was present, loyally sup- porting the team as well as enjoying them. Many have secured instruments and join-ed the Band or Orchestra. Char- lotte Armstead, Margaret Allen, Karl Christensen, John Andreasen, Betty Moats, and Ted Haller were advanced to the first Band and helped to win second place for Blair at the Contest in Omaha. They also accompanied the Band to Lincoln. The English Classes have furnished our contributions to the Breezy Bits. During December the Home Rooms were gayly decorated in keeping with the Christmas season and all had trees. On the Friday before Christmas all pupils gathered in their Charge Rooms where short programs were given and presents and treats distributed. One of the very enjoyable social events of the year was the Valentine Costume Party for each grade held in the lower hall of the High School Building. The Eighth Grade celebrated on February 14 and the Seventh Grade on February 18. 'Prizes were given for the best costumes and .competition was keen. All had a jolly time and th-e costumes will long be remembered. Each year Blair strives to win honors in Spelling and this year was no ex- ception. While many could have participated in the contests, all but three were eliminated before the County Contest on March 23. In the County Con- test Henrietta Voss won first in the written spelling. In oral spelling Blenden- na Stricklett won first and Elva Hewett second. 'Elva and Henrietta repre- sented Washington County at the Inter-.State Contest at Sioux City, Iowa, and Blendenna went to Omaha to the World Herald Contest. Blendenna will go to Lincoln to spell during the State Fair. The year's activities were brought to a close with picnics held for each grade. We anxiously look forward to our new building, knowing that it will offer us many educational advantages as well as opportunities for programs and social activities.

C. De Groff, the music department of Blair High participated in many activities during the past year. A High School band was organized for the first time, which played for the home football games. This band was- asked to play for the Armistice Day program and later gave a very successful concert which was attended and enjoyed by many of our school patrons. During: the Basketball season a jazz or-chestra of High School people en- tertained the audiences between quarters of the games held in the Dana Col- lege Gymnasium. After this season had come to a close, the orchestra furnished the music for the Commercial Club dinner, Flawther and Son banquet, Junior Class play, Aunt Lucia and the Senior Class play. It also played for the operetta given by the boy 's and girl 's Grlee Clubs. Blair High entered the district music contest in 0maha,'April 12-13. Mary Moore, ,D-orothy Baxrter and Louise Matthiesen were the solo contestants, each winning a second place. The orchestra and band received a second place at this contest. The boy's and girl's Glee Clubs also participated. On April 26 the band went to Nebraska Wesleyan and competed with some of the best bands of the state. Our band was garbed in beautiful new uniforms of gold and navy blue. They missed bringing the cup home by a mere two points. However, considering that this was the first year any attempt has been made in uthis direction, their efforts certainly proved successful. At the Nebraska State Contest in Lincoln Blair High had solo entrees in the cornet, fluste and soprano divisions. Mr. White's willingness to accompany soloists has been greatly appreciated. In light of -the past, the future looks very promising for the music depart- ment. .Ps are Forty-Six Forensics '-' I'1 e F111'ly- '111 f V5ux n -f'ZSefJii51--- - I Q4 ,L Q ., Y , ,... fT T' .'.1 ' 7 ? - L 'L.i'. .. .

She is the Patsy who is blamed whenever anything goes wrong, fand is forced to remain in the background in order that her sister may be presented to advantage. She becomes involved in a contest at the social club to which her family belongs. 'Patsy used clever graft to win the cup, thereby making her family ashamed of her more than ever. She also plots to win the love of Tony, who heretofore has been interested in her big sister. Her father sticks up for Patsy, ia cause for many parental quarrels. He finally declares his independence by putting Ma in her proper place. This brings about Patsy's ultimate triumph and affords her happiness as the bride -of the man she loves. i The Lass of Limerick Town Cast of Characters: Sir Charles Worthington-an English Squire ......

The Plot: Rose McCoy, heir of a rich American Uncle, was, by parental agreement, promised in marriage to 'Capt. Pomeroy Worthington. This young gentleman, however, is inclined to disregard figures and t-0 prefer the attrac- tive figure of Rose 's cousin, Betty. The two girls, in order to upset the plans of their elders, exchange names and places. The 'Captain falls in love with Betty, who is Rose, and his feelings are reciprocated. He thus incurs par- ental displeasure and stands in danger of being outlawed and disinherited, when the arriv-al of an old Yankee farmer, who has kept a diary, saves the day by revealing Betty as the rightful heir. Thus all is well. Page Fifty-One XX I 0 S869 The Unknown Friend IE. Bowman, D. Newell, L. Matthiesen. L. Jensen ll. Foley, Il. Hopewell, V. Lamb, E. Dixon, V. Gilliertson, H.

Act III: The touch down - IA few days laterl. The 'Senior lClass Play. The Unknown Friend, was presented to a full house at the B. F. D. Opera House, on Friday evening, May 17th. 'The problem of awarding a Hospital Contract provided sufficient pivotal material, both to portray the home life of the Connors and to depict tht, amours of the younger generation. Gladys 5-lllll Chubby carried off the honors, that is if a laugh a line is a criterion. In contrast with this high pressure love was that of the more quiet and sober Stanley Compton and Dulcy Connors. Mrs. Connors, not en- tirely at ease in society, persisted fin referring to the dinner-pail period of their life-much to the disgust of her daughter, Angelica. Barton Hawley, a seemingly clever politician, in love with Dulcy. tried to wi11 her as a reward for l1is crooked work by which the family might ben-efit. However, modest Stan, The Unknown Friend, was found to be the champion of the cause, leaving Barton in the lurch. Angel-ica repented for her haughtiness, and the Connors family was happy once more.

Arndt Vig was chosen president for the year. ln line with the purpose of the organizatioii, the Club assumed sponsorship of all athletic affairs, through the placement of advertising, the sale of tickets and arrangeinent of entertainment. Mae and Adolf proved to be two snappy pep-leaders. Of course. the caps in purple and white, both those they bought and those which were presented by Mr. J. L. Pounds, were an asset. Not to spend their entertaining abilities on others entirely, the Club in- dulged in a picnic in the 'De Soto woods early in the season.

Mis-s Moss The Commercial Department, under the leadership of Miss Moss. met early i11 the year to re-organize the Commercial Club. All students enrolled in one or more commercial subjects were eligible for niembership in the organization. The purpose of the club has been primarily to encourage interest and in- stall enthusiasm in the members preparing for commercial life. It has com- bined business and pleasure. , The activities of the club have been mostly practical -applications of the work to gain experience for the members before entering the business world. The weekly Breezy Bits and much of the copy for the annual have been typed by advanced students. In fact, the commercial department has virtually served as the Blair High Printing Shop . At the District Commercial contest held at North 'High in Omaha, thc con- testant members of the organization succeeded in placing Blair 4th, Those winning places were: Margaret Linden, Dagny Nielsen, La Verne Jensen, and Louis Armstead. At the Wesleyan Conte-st, Margaret Jenkins and Alfred Jensen won 3rd and 4th respectively in novice typing. The animal picnic took place in the spring. To the students this proved a very successful close to an enjoyable year as members of the Commercial Club. Page Fifty-Six V IN aif ililx., Home Economics Club Nielsen, McMillan, H. Anderson, XV.

Miss Pew The Home Economics girls met last September and organized the Home Economics Club so that the girls could become better acquainted and to de- velop an interest in doing the things at home that they have learned at school. It is by repeating these tasks at home that the girls can make the most use out of their training. The lllnb stands for the ideal home life of today, unhampered by the tra- ditions of the pastg the utilization of all of the resources of modern science to improve the home lifeg the freedom of the home from the dominance ot' things and their due subordination to idealsg the simplicity in material snr- ronndings which will most free the spirit for the more important interests of the home and of society. This club has been active in Blair High for a number of years, helping out in the different school activities and the girls have enjoyed many good times together. This year the club enjoyed a very interesting project when they planned and made the costumes for the operetta, given by the music depart- ment. Home Economics is constantly growing and with the welll equipped labor.:- tory lll the new lllllltllllg. there will he many opportunities for the Home Economics Club.

Early in the year they decided to forni a club ill order to increase the value, interest and pleasure of their work. Having completed a successful year as Juniors. eighteen of this same group were back i11 '28 to continue their training as prospective teachers. Becausc they considered the club work of the previous year to have been both profit- able and enjoyable, the girls voted to maintain the organization. A meeting was held every other Friday afternoon, the program being planned and presented by four persons appointed in turn. for that purpose. This arrangement proved to be a good one since it encouraged responsibility and originality o11 the part of each iueniher. One of the niost interesting features of the year's work was the collection of material by each girl for a Hint Box which will be very helpful to all who teach hy providing a wealth of devices. suggestions, etc.. in a -convenient form. A party, held March 28, at the home of Myrtle Paulsen, was one of the most pleasurable social events of the year. Page Fifty-Eight K6 Junior ormal Training Club XVid0ner, French.

Brnmbaugh, Aye, Brewster, lflliassen, Newell HI-LITES OF FOOTBALL HISTORY lt was perhaps fortunate that the IIGXVS reel camera men were detained in Omaha, or they might have secured evidence of the West Point-Blair game which would later prove embarrassing. During the course of events a certain Mr. Hopewell apparently suffered a complete loss of visibility and direction and as a result of such he kicked the pigskin the wrong way. As it rolled across our goal line ta West Point man gathered it in his arms and chalked up six points for his side. Blair nearly depopulated the country of Swedes when they rimmed Oak- land on their field -one bright 0-ctober day, Even a game which we won had its calamity. Charles Eliassen was injured by tripping over a gopher mound while carrying the water ,jug across the field. Qlle killed the gopher by throw- ing Ed Lindstrom's shoe in its hole.j Blair and Logan fought to a deadlock on a muddy field. During the last quarter of the game the participants had to break off the play to rescue Al Jensen, who came close to drowning in a water hole. Blair took up the task of performing for Hthe old Grads -and how? Ask any one who was there. Bull Biffar's ire was aroused by some trivial in- cident and he began ato annihilate any such luckless players as chanced to be in his path. When the game was over the Coroner's Jury returned the verdict of death by misadventure and the remaining players were taken to the hospital. Now the time has come for us to defend the white racef, lValthil1 brought down the last of the Mohicans and a few Burgundies to play football with us, and did we show 'em how? They only scored in the last quarter when Babe Brewster threw the ball with such velocity that it sailed past the half- back's left ear and began rolling down the field. The notorious Cappis began a pursulit of the ball, but of no avail, because he was continually repulsed by Indians brandishing hatchets. The Blair-Tekamah game was such a vital contest that perhaps it is best to refrain from connnent. 11 - c -W ,P K. Page sixty-nigga p pl lwpmf FW, B-pp :fb-p no M O 'D Review of the Season On September 7 a call was issued by Coach Park for those interested in Football. About 22 responded and eleven men were moulded into a Football team for the first game of the season. The first game of the season, with NVQ-st Point, was a nip and tuck affair. At the half, the score stood 0--0. However, the West Pointers were not to be denied their victory and they came back in the closing period and squeezed a 6-0 victory from the Purple and NVhite Gridsters. Profiting by the experiences of the week previous, Coach Park 's eleven en- tered the game with Oakland with a determination to win that could n-ot be rejected. In the opening minutes of the game, a long pass from Hopewell to Brumbaugh pushed across the first tally of the game, and from that time on, B1air's substitutes were allowed to show their stuff. The substitutes were able to hold the Swedes, and even run up a few counters of their own. The game ended with the score: Blair 25-Oakland 0. Coach Park put the team through strenuous practice for the Logan-Blair game. Vifeather conditions necessitated going by way of Omaha, and the play- ing of the game on a wet field. The first half, therefore, resulted in a battle, not only with the opposing team but also with the good old Iowa gumbo. How- ever, the team came back the second half with a realizati-on that all obstacles must be overcome and though they put up a real fight, with but a few yeards to go for a touchdown, the final whistle blew and the score stood: Blair 0--Logan 0. Homecoming lDay, before an enthusiastic crowd of Alumni, the Blair boys defeated the NVahoo lVarriors to a tune of 32-0. Four consecutive long forward passes from Hopewell to Brumbaugh were -made good for a touch- down. With the guidance of Babe, the team was able to send the Wahoo War- riors back t-o the Western Territory without the Bacon. The Nebraska School for the Deaf journeyed to .Blair to get revenge for the resul.t of last year's game. The day being rainy, made the field slow and the men sluggish. The game was played in the center of the field, for the m-ost part but at one time the Deaf advanced the ball deep into Blair 's territory. Due to the strong forward line of Blair's eleven, the ball w-as not allowed to progress another inch, and the Deaf lost the ball on downs. The game ended: Blair 0- Deaf 0. Feeling quite confident, the team journeyed to Pender to bring home the spoils. However, with a pass from Hopewell to Lindstrom, Blair received the first touchdown. But the team became over-confident and lost all fight. Biffar and Brumbaugh, through injuries, were forced to be onlookers of the battle. Blair assumed a defensive game from then on and the whistle blew leaving the score: Blair 6-Pender 25. The next two weeks of the season formed a rest period for the team. Win- nebago forfeited to us and the teachers' convention held in Omah-a furnished a brief vacation. However, the team did not lay down for a minute, but kept up a steady practice for the battle with the Walthill Warriors. On N-ovember 24, the Walthill Warriors came to Blair to capture a few scalps. However, they proved themselves inferior. They were forced to bow to the prowess of the fighting Blair aggregation, and were trampled into the turf to come out of the turmoil with the small end of the score. The fine work of Armstead and Eliassen, was responsible for the score. The game ended: Blair 18-Walthill 6. Thanksgiving Day-The Annual Turkey 'Day game with Tekamah, Blair High's traditional foe, was played on the enemy's territory this year. With revenge in the minds of the Teka-mah Warriors f-or their loss last year, they put up a Royal Battle. Their victory was not to be taken from them and the game ended: Blair 0-Tekamah 12. The work of Cappis was outstanding in this game. As a fitting w.ind-up to the season, Coach Park entertained the boys at a banquet at the Clifton Hotel. A great time was had by all-just ask any of them. Cappis was elected Captain and Pilot for the 1929 Football team.

Despite the fact -that most of the available material was inexperienced, Coach Park turned out one of the scrappiest and most sportsmanlike teams in the conference. Though the team did not emerge with many victories chalked up to their credit, they always put up a real fight and were known as a clean, game bunch, wherever they played. 1 The climax -of the season was the participation of the team in the District Basketball Tournament at Dana College. Blair was scheduled to meet the strong Arlington Ccagersb and though the odds were against the Purple and White, Blair put up a fight that swept the Arlington Hoopsters off the court to a tune of 13-6.

'- MH- ..f. - .nn Symposium REALIZING the success of -an high school depends in a large measure upon its student body and in order to introduce and encourage a new standard of excellence in Blair High School, the editors of the 1929 annual have inaugurated a new plan. Under this plan the student body was asked to select, by ballot, the person who most accurately typifies their idea of a representative Blair High School student. The cri- terion for this selection, in each case has been character, per- sonality, scholarship, co-operation and school loyalty. The per- sons on the following pages are the ones which, in the opinion of the student body, most nearly fills these requirements in their respective lines of endeavor.

Dear reader, just a moment stay Before you turn thi pageg And hearken what we have to say To youth a well as age. Our Yearbook scarce would be complete Without some Ads and jokesg Hence we have tried our best to meet The failings of all folks. The world is old-yet wants its fun, New jokes are hard to findg So if you meet an ancient one Just laugh at it-don't mind. -Should roast or jibe seem aimed at you Just take it with a smileg For if you smile the world smiles too, And that is quite worth-while. Whate'er you do, don't miss the Ads, But ponder them with careg For without them whence would come the Hseads' To pay the printer's fare.

Then consensus of opinion was that a parameclum escaped from the laboratory and took up its abode in the janitor's room. QBut, llsten and I'1l let you in on a secret. The noises were only the football boys growling over the raw meat Coach Park gave them to make 'em toughlb Homecoming The building was filled to overflowing with Old Grads and the Cheer Leaders got up and waved their hands to the strains of Varsity Drag while the Football boys marched ln. The program started by beating Wahoo 32-0. A gala time was reported by all. Teachers' Convention It was only for two days but we sure made Whoopee . Coach Park was gone, and the city was utterly devoid of tutors. It was rumored that the athletes of the institution were in a state of ex- cessive lnsobrlety and emerged from their hiding places only long enough to break more training rules. V llhanksglving Game fThe editor could get nothing written about this, which was good enough to pass the censor.l Smallpox Scare That's as near as we ever came to getting an extra vacationg but it was decided to vacclnate instead. Students were permeated with dread of having that vile serum injected into their lily-white arms, and roamed about the halls with a dejected air on their brows. Christmas Santa must have stopped awhile in Blair, for everyone came back from vacation sporting something new. Spats, loud sweaters and even Whoopee hats dared make an appearance. Band Concert The spacious auditorium of B. H. S. was a riot of symphony as the great Blair Band struck the first notes of the prelude to Mis- sissippi Mud . Mr. DeGroff rendered a hokum chorus on the banjo that was so soul stirring that the faculty began exhibiting some steps of the black bottom in the dim, dark recesses of the corridors. ef-uf!

The fatal hour is come and gone and many were faithful to the end, while others died vfighting for passing grades. Declam At the sound of the gong Bayard Hopewell rushed out and grap- pled strenuously with the Bishop, all the time shouting for food. I guess Bobbie finally triumphed, for they gave him a prize and sent. him home. I also might add that Charles Eliassen and seven- teen others were in the contest, Operetta Oh, you should have been there! All about English noblemen, Irish girls, rich farmers, etc. All it lacked was Robin Hood and his men. April Fool We sure put one over on the teachers tod-ay, alright, alright. Everyone came to class with his lessons! The Patsy The Junior Class being low on funds they decided to swing a big drama to bring in a few shekels. And did it work. The pub- lic was rarin' to go after the many postponements, and the mob was of such vast proportions that the streets were packed for blocks around. The public was fortunate in seeing Mr. Beales' great character work. Aut Beales should know his stuff when it comes to acting because he played the part of one of the blood- hounds in Uncle Tom's Cabin for three years. Grade Building Being Razed Indlgnant students are petitioning the workmen to use rubber crowbars to tear down the old school building for they fear the noise of falling bricks will keep them from sleeping during classes. Macbeth The senior English classes went to Omaha to get some dope on Macbeth's home life. The death scene caused the most tender hearted to weep copiously, but Don Newell said they couldn't fool him. He saw Macbeth come out, after the final curtain, and bow to the audience. Scholarship Exams High ambitions, crammed brains and eager hearts struggle at the barrier, anxious to be off to Lincoln.

Senior Sneak Day Funny how much more light enters the assembly when the Seniors are gone. They think we miss them -terrlbly, and that the affairs of the school come to a standstill during their absence. Well, we won't disillusion the poor things. Senior Play The Seniors indulged in a bit of Drama themselves, and put on The Unknown Friend . The house was packed with photographers, and so many flashlight pictures were taken that the cast was tem- porarily blinded. Banquets The B Club and the Junior-Senior Banquets came off in great order, with the usual array ot color and formality. The Blair Bears were fed up on toast and such things and the Seniors almost froze in the Junior Ice Palace. But everyone had a gala time, and the girls received lots of scraps and souvenirs for their Memory Books . Graduation, Annual Goes to Press The Annual is rushed to the press and the air is permeated by the smell of ink: the Editor hastily scans the sheets while the Business Manager tears his hair in search of more money. Then last but not least comes the big moment, caps and gowns are donned and a few tears are shed and then it's all over with the exception of a few psy- copathic cases that hang around and sing Salas to the annoyance of all concerned. PROPHECY fContlnuedJ been a violinist and had gained world Wide fame. Then.we learned that Har- vey Kuhr had become a prominent Historian and that students of Blair High were using his history books as ancient references now. Harvey knew his History as Well as every thing else! VVe spirits greeted Bazil Lazure next. He laughingly told us how he had be- come corn king of the United States. I always did associate Bazil with Prize Corn awards! Edwin Lindstrom's spirit informed us that he had been a philosopher and scientist all his life and had written several books. l Ruth Lund revealed that she had worked as her father's private secretary in his Real Estate office and that she had finally taken over the business herself. The tall, graceful spirit of Louise Matthiesen took its place after Ruth. I lived at Spirit Lake 'most of my life-except when I traveled. Louise and Spirit Lake! That place seemed to have held some mysterious power over her. Robert McMillan, said his spirit, had been Mayor -of Blair for years until he had retired. Dagny Nielsen, quite gayly took her stand before us to tall us of her work at Dana College and how she had finally taken to writing novels. That was no news to me for I had devoured every line she wrote while I was living on the earth. p Page Exglizy-Nine I JENKINS OIL CO.

Both of those boys I remembered as wil'ling clerks of high school days. Two more spirits followed those of Harry and Charles, they were Myrtle Paulsen and Lillian Sorensen. They had spent most of their lives as mission- aries in Africa. They had evidently done much to eivilize Africa. Irvin Peter- son 's spirit gave us the story of his successful career as a doctor. Mildred Peterson 's spirit had an interesting story to tell about her career as an Opera Singer. Mildred was easily associated with music. I could remem- ber when she had the lead in the High School Operetta. Being a patient spirit, I remained seated, while others got up and wandered away. Violet Pearce 's spirit gave a detailed account of her life as an Evange- list. Anna Reeh :had been her Secretary. Elsie Sorensen had been a private secretary to a large firm in Omaha until she had built a'Sanatarium on the hills of her old home. Howard Thompson 's spirit told us that he had been head d-octor there for many years. Eileen T'hompson, his cousin, supervised the institution. I thought that there must have been but a few spirits left, so as the spirits of Myrtle Short and Ber nice Stricklett gave us the story of their lives Cthey had been proprietresses of the Hotel of Blairl, I moti-oned two spirits to come and wait with me. We waited together while Vincent Thompson explained -how he had ter- raced the hills west of Blair and had established a productive vineyard. Guralta Updike had been P-ostmaster at Blair for many years, and then had become 'leader of the Women 's Temperance Union. Arndt Vig's spirit explained how he had felt it his duty to become a Luth- eran preacher and so he had studied at Dana and had acquired his degree. Bill always said that there would have to be ONE preacher in their family. Two spirits, almost identical, were next. They were Frances and Preston Walrath. They owned the old Home Theater and had had many patrons un- til Chain Theatres ran them out of business. 'They retired to their old home on East Grant Street. 'The last spirit was Margaret Ziegler. ,She said she had kept house for her brother Bill and had taught school in Blair in 1930. Evidently, the entire class :had given an account of their lives s-o we, the last three spirits, moved forward. Helen Svengaard, Margaret Henningsen, and I, Charlotte Gilbertson, gave testimony of our careers as nurses. We had each realized our high school ambition! Helen was explaining her experiences when Bob Hopewellfs spirit called out: Oh, shut up! Helen's spirit was ready for a quarrel in a minute and a spirited argument followed! Just like 1929 assembly periods! Donald, very businesslike, called the meeting to a close, and the spirits faded away, then, in groups or separately. As I turned back to the meeting place, I saw that two spirits still sat on the roof of the building, arguing loud- ly! It was 'Bob and Helen! THE END!! Page Ninety-One, IN CHRIS K.
