The Blooming Prairie football team finished another highly suc- cessful season as they annexed their fourth straight Gopher Con- ference Championship. A high point of the season was the Blossom’s victory over St. Charles, a team that had ended Blooming’s victory string at sixteen in 1949. The only close game of the season resulted in a loss for Blooming on the muddy turf at Janesville. During the past four years Coach- es Folven and Fritz have helped guide the Blooming elevens to an enviable position among state foot- ball teams. In these four years Blooming has 28 victories, 1 tie and only 2 losses for a .919 per- centage. This year the boys scored 272 points for a four year total of 900 points -- this is at the rate of 29 points per game over a four year span. Defensively the op- ponents have scored only 147 points in four years for a game average of less than 5 points per game. A big reason for the school’s continually good squads is the close co-oper- ation of the two coaches working with freshmen and sophomore candi- dates to fill in graduating sen- iors’ positions the following year. This year’s team placed Howard Hunter, Dick Anderson, Gordon Srock and Don Vaithe on the all-confer- ence team. Conference Stan clings Season s CReco m WON LOST TIE PCT.

Anderson G. Srock I E. Simon G. Severson J. Lindquist B. Blockhus — 31 — e Senio football JSSette rnen Don Vaith is one of the outstanding guards in Blooming Prairie football history. He is a four year letterman in football and a real leader who will be sorely missed next year. His football honors include co-captain, all. conference, and all-state honorable mention. Richard Anderson was one of our most rugged and hard driving backs. He was called upon to carry the ball when a few yards were a necessity. Dick also scored 118 points to be one of the leading individual scorers in the state. Football honors include co-captain, all-conference, and all-state honorable mention. Bernard Underwood was a great ball handling quarterback. His faking and deceptive ball handling was responsible for many extra yards. Bernard was also a good passer and a speedy open field runner. Football honors include all-state honorable mention. The line play of Gordon Srock has been very outstanding the last couple of years. His aggressiveness and hard tackles marked him as one of the best guards in the conference. His selection as an all-conference guard, we all think, was a good choice. Howard Hunter was another player to come through in his senior year with flying colors. His speed and shiftiness made him a constant scoring threat Almost every game Howard came through with a long spectacular running touch down. Howard was also selected by conference coaches as all-conference fullback. Ed Simon, our senior tackle, could always be counted upon for a good game. He was always consistant and always did his best. Ed’s tackle spot will be difficult to replace next year. Don Mclllece has been a stalwart end the past couple of years, play, defensively and offensively, has left little to be desired, catching ability has been responsible for many needed yards. Don ’ s end His pass Francis Peterson has been one of the handy men in our line play. Francis was called upon regularly to fill in at either guard or tackle, and he did remarkably well at both. Gaylen Severson has been a valuable man at center. His ability to handle that position has been important to the team in various instances. Gaylen could always be counted upon with one knowing that he was always giving his best. Robert Blockhus was another valuable all around performer. His ability to play guard, tackle, or end was a credit to himself and of value to the team. James Lindquist was the little man of the team. He will be remembered not for his spectacular football skill, but he will be remembered for being stubbornly persistent in his practice. His part in the last game will long be remembered by the coaches and team mates. The starting line up. Look out! It’s hot! Where's everybody goin’?? lick flips one to Dave.

Anderson, Coach Fritz Coach Sy Fritz welcomed thirty potential cagers for practice early in November and the 1949-50 basket- ball season was officially underway. After the first weeks of intensive practice the squad was cut to fif- teen, the largest roster yet for Blooming Prairie. The season was one of ups and downs with the Blossoms finally win- ning twelve out of seventeen games during the regular season. In con- ference participation, after start- ing out with two straight losses, the boys started to play the basket- ball they were capable of and went on to tie Freeborn for the confer- ence championship. After losing three out of the first four games the team settled down and turned in eight straight victories, including a 40 to 31 win over the New Richland Cardinals. During the game the nje ence Standings WON LOST PCT.

In tourney play at Albert Lea the Blossoms started out with an impres- sive 60-39 victory over Alden. Hay- field, a Blooming victim twice al- ready, next fell 53 to 44 to place Blooming in the finals with Freeborn. In the championship game the Free- born Yeomen nosed out the Blossoms in the last few minutes 53-47 to win the west sub-district title. The following week the Blossoms won the class ‘B’ consolation honors at Austin with a 63-53 victory over Spring Valley. Five seniors are lost from the squad this year; they include Ber- nard Underwood, Dick Anderson, How- ard Hunter, Bob Blockhus and Don Mclllece.

The band has made remarkable progress under the direction of Miss Mildred Kroener considering the fact that the heads of several sections are lost each year. The band’s first appearance was in the Homecoming events, followed by the Armistice Day Program and Christmas Con- cert. The high point of the band's year was the District Festival at Blooming Prairie. The year was climaxed by the presentation of its annual spring concert. During the month of June the band presents weekly concerts on Saturday evening which are well received by band patrons. The Freeborn game was a memorable night for the majorettes as they made their first ap- pearance resplendent in their new uniforms.

The group made its debut at the annual Christmas Concert singing How Lovely are Thy Dwel- lings, Gesu Bambino and As Lately We Watched. This year the Chorus, under the direction of Miss Kroener, presented the first operetta that has been given in Blooming Prairie for several years entitled The H.M.S. Pinafore.

Hank Bennett who constantly irritates his family by his experimenting with machines is carried by an electric current back to the time of King Arthur. Coming from a different world he arouses much suspicion and King Arthur, in- fluenced by Merlin who with his associate Mor- gan Le Fay is trying to gain power, sentences him to be burned at the stake until Hank uses his wits to outsmart Merlin. The court is soon transformed into a business office and Sandy, his secretary, gains his affection but love is of an impossible nature because of the difference of time between them.

Applause filled the high school auditorium as the final curtain was drawn on the comedy, Ever Since Eve, presented by the junior class November 18, 1949, under the direction of Mr. Ackerwold. This is the story of the troubles which beset those two loyal muskateers, Johnny Clover and Spud Erwin, editor and business manager of the Preston High School Penquin when Susan Blake, ‘career girl,’ high-pressures herself into the position of assistant editor. Always acting with the best intentions, Susan almost bankrupts the Penquin shakes the friendship of the two boys and gives them the measles. Adding to the mirthful story is the romance of Miss Willard, the journalism teacher and the principal, Mr. Quinn. Lucybelle, with her Southern drawl, greatly intrigues the football captain as well as the other male members of the cast in hilarious scenes. Mrs. Clover ........

The student council is composed of two representatives from each class presided over by a president chosen from the senior class. Richard Anderson has been president and Darlene Eaker has been secretary for the past year. The representative body of the students strives to acquire greater co- operation between the students and administration. They were responsible for the installation of the coke machine and through their efforts a seating arrangement for students was organized downstairs for most home basketball games. This society is one of the lighest honors a student may iecure in Blooming Prairie High chool. The members are imited to not more than 15% f the class and must excel in lot only one but four of the ssential requirements; namely cholarship, Leadership, haracter and Service.

Com'on! Let’s yell! They are! The crowning event of our senior year was home- coming. Festivities began Thursday evening with a bon- fire and winding snake dance which preceded cheers and yells on main street. The next day, Septem- ber 30, was the climax when Barbara Fading was crowned Queen of Homecoming. Her attendants were Delpha Seavey and Evelyn Mclllece, seniors; and Marian Amund- son and Marianne Schiller, juniors. Barbara was crowned by Don Vaith and robed by Dick Anderson, able co-captains of the football team. Don Mcll- lece, president of the senior class, presented her with a large bouquet of chrysanthemums. While the queen was seated elegantly — 50 — Commg 49 on her throne, her favorite song, Again, was sung. Then Barbara presented each football player with a lucky penny on a black ribbon. This was followed by a short pep fest with speeches by Mr. Folven and Mr. Fritz anon g others. After the coronation Queen Barbara and her at- tendants assembled in a convertible to be escorted in the parade uptown led by the band and majorettes and followed by the class floats. That night the big game brought a victory over New Richland and Saturday night was the grand finale, being the Homecoming Dance at which many alumni were present besides many stu- dents. — 51 — One of the most memorable occasions of our junior year was the Junior - Senior Prom which was held May 13, 1949. The gym was beautifully transformed into the theme of our choice, a Mardi Gras. Multicolored streamers extend- ing from the ceiling to the floor produced the effect of a ‘‘Big Top’’ tent and set off tables on each side. Adding a vivid touch to the theme were clusters of balloons hanging from the ceiling and balcony among the streamers. The face of a clown having a red nose which flickered on and off decorated the entrance. A minature merry-go-round set off the center of the floor, and from a repre- sentation of a hot dog stand eight seventh graders served p unch. Underneath the canopy of streamers and balloons with the lights dimmed, the dancing feet of couples and the rustle of formal skirts were ac- companied by Jack Peterson's o rche s t r a. After the Grand March bal- loons were taken from their places as souvenirs and with them the streamers also came down. The decorations which took so much work and time were soon torn down, but the fun we had creating the theme and the memory of the wonder- ful time we had that evening will never be destroyed. fH — 52 — PATROL BOYS J.
