Wi..h 1937 the crops in the area began to come back slowly. 1938 gave us Corrigan's flight to Ireland and we had heard a great deal about the Townsend Pension plan. The football team continued its successful course. The team added eight victories against two defeats. During the four year period the DHS team had amassed a total of 726 points against 298 for their apponents. The high point of the season was probably the 26-24 victory over West Fargo to annex the cham- pionship of the Southeast District and the h-eart-breaking defeat, of a badly batter- ed but fighting ball team, at the hands of Minnewaukan for the championship ot' the Eastern half of the state. We could not fail to mention the outstanding per- formances of Kermit Larson on the gridiron which earned him all-sta.e and later all-american honors for six-man football. Now let us recapitulate a bit to see just where we stand, before we cross that natural division of history which falls on 1939 with the beginning' of the European war. North Dakota had begun the long climb back to prcperi-ty from the depths of a terrible depression. Roosevelt had been re-elected for the first time, the head- lin-es, VVPA, and dust storms had become things to remember. The term. New Deal had come into our vocabulary and we each had our particular opinions on what should be done about the national debt which friend hoosevelt was doing .-.-.-.-.-..-v-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.A.x,vvv-.-.-v-y-.-.-.-,-.- in 'I In 4a 4a I It tn 4 1 I 1 I m I 1 41 lu 41 I 1 I in 4 1 I J 5 5

peculiar things with. By the end of the period t.he debt had rose to the stupend- ous figure of ovcr forty billions of dollars. It would not be fair to imply, by fail- ure to mention it, that won1en's skirts continued to rise during the thirties. They definitely did rot. By 1935-36 tho-1 too had suffered a depression and had fallen 'to the height which seems ridiculous toiay. fsee cutj. Those horrendous mach- ines, the jukeboxes, had -extracted huge numbers of nickels and dimes from peo- Dles pockets with such tunes as, Josephine The Sunrise Serenade and Stardust , Perhaps we ought to mention the beginning of va type of song that was to sweep over America in the years to follow. I me-an those songs with the lyrics which made no sense whatever. There. was The Three 'Little Fishes , The Umbrella Man , Flat Foot Fl00zy with a Floi Floi and many others which ut- terly am-azed us, but which the most stlaid have been caught humm-ing or whistling in odd moments. During these years the Dazey High School had done some good work in the fields of dramatics and oratory under the tutelage' of Mr Peterson and Mr. Berg. The local school had done well in track activities with such oustand- ding performers as the Oppegard boys, Russel Myers, Kermit Larson and others. Lem. Hawkins was no longer hearduduring the noon hour each day from WDAY. Witli the beginning of the war, we all anxiously watched the progress of the battle over there . Selective Service came into being in America and America went all-out for preparedness. XVe began to see stories in the papers about young re- cruits training with wooden guns, Then came Septem.ber 15, 1940, the climaCtiC fiav in the battle of Britain. In the early spring Of 1941 came a day never to be f0l'gotten in Dazey. Cn the evening of March 15, came the terrible blizzard. brinfring its tragic consequences to Dazey and the rest of 'the northwest. Then, during the same year came the attack on Pearl Harbor. XVe ne-edn't chronicle De- cember here, as we each have our private memories as to how we reacted to tl1e event. -x With the war, the breadlines were replaced with cigarette lines , nylon! lines, and lines for nearly everything you could use. The Dazey High School Card- inal adopted the policy of sending Copies of the paper to the boys who were scat- tered in the various branches of the service. The circulation list must have been NmwAAM
