During that time, the local weekly paper was used as a medium of printing our news. However, as time went on, we began to feel more lndependent and a need for a paper of our own. Many new activities had come within the last two years, two new departments had been added to our school, and the typing de- partment had become efficient enough to publish a paper by themselves. Therefore, the second semester saw the Typing I students busily planning, writing and typing articles the first two days of every other week and the Typing II students cutting the stencils on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Friday was the day for HBeh1nd The Scenesu to go to press and by 4 o'clock of the same day, everyone was concentrating on his own copy or was reading over his ne1ghbor's shoulder. Since the seniors and other classes, too, enjoy having a pictured and written record of events and also their classmates, the Cahawk has become the medium for accomplishing this. The staff consists of all of the senior class and a representative of each of the other classesg namely, R. Frana M Broderick and R Kafka The name HCah wlu 1 t k , . . . a c s a en from the NCaH of Calmar and UHawkH from the Hawkeye State.

Rothmeyer C.Bro1h1er The Girls' Glee Club was organized this fall with Marie Hostings as president and Clarice Doubek as secretary-treasurer. Every class is represented in this organiza- tion. Six of the members are senlorsg eight are juniorsg five are sophomoresg nine are freshmen. The senior girls seem to have the record with a hundred per cent membership No definite dues are charged, but when the girls want to get together, everyone re- sponds in doing her part. The Glee Club will furnish several numbers at the baccalau- reate and commencement exercises this spring. Most of the music studied is of three parts, and the following is the usual division: lst Soprano: C. Sroihier, L.LaBarge, M.Fisher, C.S1monson, I.Dolan,D.Rasmusen,H.No- vak, G.Barr, R.Ge1s1ng, V.Doubek, E.Hauber 2nd Soprano: R.Sobol1k, C.Hosper, M.Host1ngs, I.Hauber, C.McLean,H.M1kesh, C.Doubek Alto KI-Ill: R.Kuhn, M.Doubek, J.Bradbury, G.Korbel, B.Hackett, M.F1askerud,R.Frana V.Frana, D.Rothmeyer, M.Shlndelar. Choosing voices for small groups is rather difficult as the voices must be careful- lymatched in tone quality. The Girls' Sextette fbelowl, accompanied by C. Broihien represented the music department in the fall activities, giving several numbers at the Home and Sub-County Declamatory Contests. This spring a Girls Trio was organized 5 these girls prepare special three-part music. Catherine Broihier, who proved herself a competent accompanist in the fall, was needed in the soprano section of the Glee Club, so Valerian Kuhn became accompanist in the spring. It is rather unusual for a boy to study piano, so we wish to congratulate him on his talent and his cooperation. -i 1-1 L., E' .aa ga 4- M.Doubek, V. Doubek, C.Doubek V. Doubek, R. Sobollk, R.

With the addi- tion of vocational agriculture to the curriculum, Calmar High School became one of the 137 high schools in the state offering Smith-Hughes Agriculture during 1938-1959. Farm Crops and Soils was offered for freshmen and sophomore boys and Farm Management for the juniors and seniors. The following projects are being cared for by the students as part of the regular classwork: beef calf-53 dairy calf-2, corn plots-53 potato plots-55 oats-lg swine-6. Questions concerning the growth, care and management of these various projects as well as practical home farm projects form the basis for most of the class work. Vocational agriculture aims to interest the boys in a deeper understanding of farm life and its possibilities. One of the major objectives 1s to enable the student to es- tablish himself ln farming and then to analyze his enterprises so as to be more effi- cient. Farming today ls much different than that of fifty years ago, and farming methods in the future will probably be advanced over our present setup. For this reason , the farmer must be able to think clearly and adjust himself quickly to the changes. A second function of the vocational agriculture department this year was the holding of an even'ng school for the farmers of the community. Eleven meetings were held during the winter and various topics of interest to those attending were stud1ed.' A council of five men has been elected to help plan the series of meetings for next year. All the meet ings were conducted on a discussion basis, in which the men responded very well. A Father-Son banquet was held during the spring, at which nearly one hundred were in attendance. A short program was given by the boys and men, and an illustrated lecture on nConservat1on of Wild Life and Natural Resourcesn was given by Dr. Strunk of Luther Col- lege, Decorah, Iowa. Of particular interest this year was the presentation of a medal by the Ho1ste1n-Fr1e- sian Association of America to Robert Kubish for being the leading judge, in the high school division, of Holstein cattle at the Waterloo Dairy Cattle Congress. The entire team received fifth place honors in competition with the 64 teams representing Iowa high schools. Below is pictured the team, Robert Kubish, Elmore Herold, Dalos Hillesland Laurence Flaskerud, and their coach, Mr. Hansen. 215- ' ' 4,
