Then we were given a hearing. Several members from our class have been successful in various directions. A number of our classmates have taken active parts in the numerous plays sponsored by the Booster Club, and have shown promising talent along that line. FIVE RECEIVE CLEAR LAKE “C” During the past three years, five members have been chosen as honor students, receiving the Clear Lake “C”. IN DIVII)UAL ACHIEVEMENTS Janet Nelson and Viola Benson have won honorable places in their speech work. Anna-Marie Fink placed first in piano solo at the district music contest. Helen Benson went to the state commercial contest. Howard Criswell won a place in the district track tournament. Albert Schulze and Thomas Reindahl represented our class in baseball for four years. NINE MEN IN ATHLETICS During our regime in Clear Lake High School we have contributed six men to the Basket Ball team ; three men to the Base Ball team and six members to the band that was organized this year. JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET We hold the honors for breaking all previous records with our Junior-Senior Banquet. Not a little praise was given the Junior Class for their originality and interest shown in the elaborate decorations for the Banquet. CARNIVAL A SUCCESS Our class had also shown a great deal of perseverance in the progress they have made on the annual. The Carnival given in November, 1928, with which to build on the Annual fund, was managed by the Seniors. During the winter of ’29, we carried out a plan of financing the Annual by means of a series of food sales which, of course, required a great amount of responsibility and initiative. LARGEST ENROLLMENT IN THREE YEARS The Senior Class with an enrollment of twenty-eight members, will be the largest class graduated from Clear Lake High School in three years. Ptit e Sixteen THE ECHO Class Prophecy “ with Hester Stumo as mistress of this cozy little home.“—” Ouch! Fire! Help! In one instant I was awake and sharing the excitement with the rest of the girls. (A spark had blown from the camp fire onto one of the beds, and immediately the entire camp was ablaze.) After an hour of intense excitement we had quenched the flame entirely, but with such an awakening, the entire group was indifferent toward sleep, so we gathered around the camp fire which had, again, been rekindled. It was then that my thoughts first traveled back to where I had been in my dreams. Quite a romantic story for the fireside, I felt, so I endeavored to relate to the girls what I had learned in my dreams. The period covered a number of years, beginning in Sociology Class, when we were seniors in High School. We were in the midst of a discussion of industry and individualism. The question was, “How to Decrease Divorce. I was suddenly aware of strange and new surroundings and learned that it was a divorce court with Howard Criswell reigning as high official. Helene Henson was official reporter at court. Howard, of course, was in a position to learn very little of the classmates, but he informed me that Evelyn and Myrtle Gregirson were proprietors of an exclusive tea room in that town. He said he had also read of Harold Clifford’s famous trip to Mars. I left the courtroom, and walked down the street, when suddenly I realized that I was no longer in San Francisco, but had been unconsciously transported to Superior, Wisconsin. The first place I entered there was a teachers' training school. I was amazed at finding Neil Smith .here as principal and more so upon learning that Katherine Gombus, who entered shortly, was his private secretary. Neil invited me to visit the Physics class, and there 1 found more surprises awaiting me. Thomas Reindahl was supervising the class. Charles Cronk, after a famous non-stop flight around the world, had come to earth and was preparing to teach Physics. 1 was led to a room where a Manual Training class was being conducted, with Lawrence Van Ruden as instructor, something quite out of the ordinary for Lawrence, but nevertheless he was in love with his work. Down in the gymnasium a girls' Physical Education class was in session. Alice was calling the commands to “open ranks one—two—three—four the same system that Miss Moe had carried out in our High School class. I left the building, and as I came out upon the street, my attention was attracted in the direction of a large crowd of men and women. From within the circle which they had formed, I could distinctly hear a clear voice ringing out in a convincing tone with arguments against prohibition. When the applause had died down and the crowd began to dissemble, my curiosity regarding the speaker was satisfied. It was none other than Charles Langer, that “Soap Box Orator of High School days. My surprise was no greater than his and upon recognition he invited me to visit his apartment that he shared with Lloyd Iverson. Lloyd was doing part-time office work, and spent the rest of his time on an airplane of his own handiwork. He called it “Cleopatra” but “Speed was its nickname. But alack and alas—before Charles and I had gone very far, I found that instead of walking with him in the streets of Superior I was alighting from a taxi in the down town district of Chicago, in the midst of a hail storm. My taxi driver was Byron Arenson, but before I could realize that at one time we had been classmates he had sped away in his machine. Looking about me 1 discovered that I was near a florist, and a place of shelter was my greatest desire at that moment, so I entered the building. There among the flowers I found Mvrl Lindahl. I was not a little amazed at finding her here, when she had always talked of Paris so much. Through her I learned that Viola Benson had acquired fame through her wonderful welfare work, and that Anna-Marie Fink was touring Europe, giving violin lessons. {Continued on page 47) Page Seventeen THE ECHO Class Will The day is close at hand, when our council members shall withdraw from the fireside circle to their lonely tents for the last time. We regret parting with old friends and rivals; the place which they hold in our hearts is one to be envied. As a mark of appreciation for their friendly attitude and readiness to lend a helping hand, we are bequeathing to our successors, our most cherished relics. To the Junior Class as a whole, we are leaving those two rows of seats at the extreme left of the Assembly. Charles Cronk is willing to leave his good favor among the teachers to Roy Murray. Helene Henson requests that Donald Schultz receive her ambition, and may he profit well by it. Virgil Miller wants Margaret Nelson to have his broom wielding qualities. May she ever improve upon them. Harold Larson is leaving to Marjorie Greene his many hikes out in the country. What could be sweeter? Neil Smith says his quiet disposition really belongs to Evelyn Rue. Henrietta Brandt bequeaths her letter-writings to Elizabeth Gombus. Thomas Reindahl prefers to retain his Baseball talent, although he says that by sending him a self-addressed, stamped envelope, he'll reveal a few high points enviable in any good player. Myrl Lindahl is leaving her giggle to Vera Van Blaricom. Hester Stumo gladly wills her History period to any one who promises to make good use of it. Albert Schultz’s ‘‘Basket Ball Standard” is for Lester Lindahl. All of Ardell Reetz’s good qualities are for Jeanette Gale. Please handle with care, Jeanette. Byron Arenson has decided to grow up and is willing his childish habits to Joyselle Hedlund. Howard Criswell has consented, after long deliberation, to leave his bewitching smile to Erland Hanna. Katherine Gombus surrenders her History dates to Robert Riley. Evelyn Gregerson leaves her perseverance and pluck to Erma Blatt. Janet Nelson’s gift of gab goes to Vivian Grunke. Anna-Marie cannot part with her musical talent, but she is leaving her desire to argue to Maxine Van Blaricom. Myrtle Gregorson will leave her elongated stature to Mildred Witthoft, providing she promises to give it the best of care. Lawrence Van Ruden is leaving his position on the Senior class team to Donald Larsen. Alice West’s pleasing personality is to be reserved for Marshall Christianson, when he becomes a Senior. Viola Benson bequeaths her many trips to Turtle Lake to Doris Schultz. Please maintain the correct schedule, Doris. Hugh Sadler leaves his weakness for Physics to Donald Pierson. Charles Langer is loath to part with aught but his favor among the girls. This he wishes Edward Schultz to have. Harold Gifford requests that his place in the band go to Harold Kittleson. Lloyd Iverson and Dale Christison agree that since they will not be taking Physical Education next year, their suits go to Douglas Campbell and Norman Jones. Florence Schultz's undying interest in her work may be of value to Orson Gustafson. Ann Van Blaricom leaves her place as cheer leader to Florence Johnson. Our lasting impressions upon our teachers will, please, be equally distributed among the remaining lower classmen. Some, of course, are not as favorable as others; however, it is our last wish that they be dealt with equally as well as the remaining few. THE SENIOR CLASS.

KECK, Faculty Advisor I he Student Council is an elected group, two students being selected from each class. It has been an active organization for several years. Its duties are difficult and varied. The most outstanding functions are: 1. Selection of honor citizens every six weeks, with aid of faculty. 2. Naming of candidates for important offices of the school, and for the most representative students at the end of the term. 3. Punishment of irregularities. 4. School regulations are referred to it for opinions of the students. Phis representative group of students receives advantageous practical experience in tact and student government. The student body as a whole benefits by “student regulation of school affairs.” As the duties and projects of the council become more advanced, they will, with the aid of past experience, be able to work more efficiently in the future.

From its beginning this year it has added much to the school. Since the above picture was taken they have obtained white trousers, and these with white shirts and black ties contribute toward a band that we may be proud to have represent our school. The organizer and director, Mr. Carlson has played in his local high school and at Stout Institute. While there he was president of the band. On May second he took the band to Menomonie, where they played before the school. The first local concert was held on March seventh, the proceeds were used to purchase a bass horn and drum.

The Club has as its purpose the fostering of nearly all of the social activities throughout the school year for the benefit of the community and the student body. One of its purposes is to provide for a Lyceum Course and maintain a creditable financial balance. I he Lyceum Course this year included the “King Male Quartet”, “Brace Trio”, and the Federated Players in, “Let’s Go Somewhere”. The club has been very successful in every way.

TRACK Track has been installed as a school sport for two years. In 1927 we went to St. Croix Falls to the county track meet. All we took was fourth place in the 100-yard dash. In 1928 we resolved to do or die. This year our luck was a little better. Howard Criswell placed third in the half mile and our relay team placed third. We decided to return again in the meet of 1929 and climb still further up the ladder of success. 1929 Track Team Mr. Carlson had all the boys interested in track try out for the team. A successful season is expected as many are back from last year. The events and men enrolled in each are: 100-yard Dash—3 440-yard Dash—3 Broad Jump—13 High Jump 10 220-yard Dash—2 880-yard Dash—7 Mile—11 Discus—7 Pole Vault—5 Shot Put—5 Relay—9 BASEBALL The prospects for a good team for the spring of 1929 look promising.

CLASS PROPHECY (Continued from page 17) The shower had somewhat passed over, and my next errand was to get a lodging place for the night. As I was taking my leave, Myrl informed me that Janet Nelson was a surgeon, specializing in goitre operations in a hospital on the outskirts of the nicer section of the city. I was just deciding to visit Janet at the hospital when a familiar step approached me from behind. It was Virgil Miller. I learned that Virgil and Harold Larson had just returned from a scientific expedition to the South Sea Islands. This information accounted for the camera men and news reporters, flocking around them on every side. Among them 1 recognized Otto Van Ruden. In another instant 1 had left Chicago and found myself on board a passenger steamer, bound for the Hawaiian Islands. To my amazement, 1 found several of my fellow passengers to be old acquaintances. There was Florence Schultz and Ardell Reetz, who were diligent research workers on the question of evolution. Later I met Dale Christison, Albert Schultz and Hugh Sadler, who were sponsoring a new project in Chemistry. Hugh was saying, “Our prospects are great---” but I missed the rest of it, and found myself on the divan of that perfect dream house, with Hester Stumo as mistress of it. “And girls you know’ what happened then,” I added. Page Forty-seven THE ECHO “Four Years Together’’ Four years together friends! We’ve passed the four years mark ! Four years since on the troubled sea Our life-boat has embarked. Four years of learning, friends, Of learning how to battle down The selfishness in each of us, The hasty words, the needless frown. Four years of working, friends, Of toiling side by side each hour, Of finding how much joy there is In work well done, what peace and power. Four years of hoping, friends, Of making faith overcome each day. Of doing just the best we could And leaving all the rest to God. Four years of trusting, friends, Each knowing well the other’s worth, Each glimpsing in the other’s gaze The things that matter most on earth. Four years together, friends, Not fifty years, not e’en two score Just four short years, but please dear God, In Thy great Mercy, give us many, many more. Our class shall always answer, they’ll do their duty still, And each perform his own duty, come whatever will. The class has been carried through troubles; its unit work is done; From fearful start the Senior chart now shows its object won. E. G. ’29. Exalt, O pals, and sing your songs We’re sorry to leave this school But we’re glad to be of good use In this world of rule. H. E. B. ’29.
