'l'no1uAs R. ROBERTS Nuprrin fflldtfllf VLAKA Mct'oNATY S?l'l'f'fCll'y YOUTlI-ll'S LEADERS As students ot' Decorah High School, we owe a great deal of our success and achieve- ments to our superintendent, Mr, 'l'homas ll. lloherts. Among his many administra- tive duties is the arrangement of our highly successful activities program. 'l'hrough his capable supervision. ll. H. S. offers excep- tional opportunities in the field of music, athletics, forensics and other extra-curricu- lar activities as well as the regular scholastic program. Mr. Roberts has also gained con- siderable recognition as coach of highly successful dehate teams. Ile is a great lover ot' the out-ot'-doors and spends a part of every summer vacation on the lakes in northern Minnesota. 'l'o Miss Clara Mt-Uonaty, efficient secre- tary to the superintendent. must go a great deal ol' credit for the running of our school. ln addition to the innumerable tasks whicl1 she performs in the superintendents otiice, she acts as secretary to the School Board. J 1f114'l-'nm' A. l'14:'r1a1csoN Mr. .leltrey A. Peterson is the person who makes the wheels go '1'0llllllH in high school. Although he has possibly gained much ot' his fame as the one who hands out the white, yellow, or red slips, this is just one of the many duties which he so eapably performs as principal of D. H. S. Une ot' the more important ways i11 which he has served as a leader of youth is by acting as a member of the Home lloom Steering Committee. Every year his Latin classes rank high among the scholastic leaders in the Every Pupil llrain Derby. People who know him well say that he also leads in outdoor fields. since fishermen for miles around tell of his ability to lure the tinny creatures. Miss Ethel llinger served as secretary to Mr. Peterson for thc greater part ol' the first semester. and she was succeeded by a graduate of last year, Miss Arleen Griebel. u E'1'n1f1L IJINGIQR w . ,I'I'IIf'l'1lfI1 M il BZEJJI N1'f'l'I'fllI'.l1 o THEY HELP US C'hildren's rhythm games, tap-dancing, basket- halle these till Miss Ellie Nielson's days as she capably teaches physical education to the grade children and to the high school girls.

Mrs. Marjorie McLean, Decorah's cheerful, etlicient school nurse, spends her time protecting the health ol' Decorah students. She likes to read when she has time but not the excuses people bring. written in three or four different hand- writings for the same.namel Miss Grace Peck is one of the busiest teachers on the faculty. She teaches American and Eng- lish literature, helps sponsor the sophomore class and assists with declamatory. NVe might mention that Miss Peck often enlivens class by telling about her unusually interesting ancestors and relatives a11d her trip to England. Miss Lillian Granneman works patiently all day long teaching freshman English students to distinguish a phrase from a clause and to ap- preciate good literature. She is kept busy in the extra-curricular field by assisting in declamatory work.

Although Miss Schooler's pet hate is people who are late with work or in keeping appointments, everyone knows it's fun working with and for her. She likes to make her own clothes. Miss Vivian Bancroft, new in IJ. H. S. this year. is a teacher who has very few extra min- utes. Besides her speech classes, she teaches grammar and sophomore English. ln extra- curricular activities, sl1e takes her place as coach of a successful state declamatory contestant and as competent director of the class plays and speech class plays. Students who have worked for her will remember that she is another who likes to have people be on time. Since Miss Genevieve Henry teaches freshman and advanced cooking and junior high school sewing, sl1e has had the responsibility of plan- ning and supervising the serving of delicious hot sl1111li lli-s. x Wx PLAN OUR LIVES l11111-l11-s :1111l 11111111111-ts 1l111'i11g' lllll y1-z11'.

During hoth her junior and senior years she was awarded second i11 the state declamation contest for her humorous selections. llnder her leadership the student body has enjoyed many an entertaining assembly this year. ln the fall of 1937 a snappy marching band was organized. Led by Lynne Running as drum major and Marjorie 'l'alle and Ethel Barth as- sisting twirlers. this popular band has had three successful seasons. ln the field of music several of our members have been outstanding in solo work. Howard Uwen, cornetg Mary Margaret Jaeger, tlnteg and Rosemary Kuhn. French horn received good ratings at the 1939 state music contest. 'l'his year those named above and Marjorie 'l'alle, string bassg and Katherine Arveson, cello. also en- tered the state contest. Many ot' our members took part in the larger musical groups-qualh tets, sextets, band. orchestra, glee clubs. and mixed chorus. Some of us were particularly interested in ac- quiring' training in speech.

Our first year of high school life was under the leadership of Darrell Olson, presidentg Robert Dresselhaus, vice-presidentg Curtis Thompson, secretaryg and Virginia Alm, treasurer, aided klllil assisted by Miss Florence Warren. During this year we gained prominence in the field of music through Marjorie Rima, Frances VVomeldorf, Orville Mestad, Peter Tor- vik and many others. Perhaps our most spec- tacular feat was the winning of second prize for our homecoming float. Having gained more experience. the now sophomore class participated in more extra- curricular activities. Prominent in this field were Phil Losen in football, Orville Mestad and Phil in basketball, Frances NVomeldorf and Marjorie Rima in voice and declamg Virginia Alm in extemporaneous speakingg and Curtis Eittreim, Orville Mestad, Kermit Hendrickson, Virginia Alm, Orville Danielson and Peter Tor- vik in music. Class otiicers for that year were president, John Matousekg vice-president, Vir- ginia Almg secretary, Florence Nelson. Proceeding farther into the Halls of Fame, the already outstanding class achieved still more triumphs. Again Darrell Olson, as president, led the class to greater glories. Ably assisting him were Frances Arneson. vice-president, and Bette Colby, secretary-treasurer, with Misses Gene- vieve Henry and Hazel Brazelton as sponsors. Music victories were again among our accom- plishments. Notable in this was Dorothy Blaise as a twirler, helping to give zest and appeal to the marching band. ln football Phil Losen, Curtis 'l'hompson and Robert Rasmus were again in the limelight. Charles Hislop and Orville Danielson were among the representatives in basketball. Lorraine Knutson won a place on the debate team. and Helen Rosell, Lillian Dickman and Clifford Ellingson were members of the sec- ond team. Venturing into the theatrical sphere, the jun- ior class presented Shirt Sleeves as an example of their dramatic ability. Dorothy Blaise, Vir- ginia Alm, Gerald Grindeland, Bette Colby, Lyle Williams, Helen Rosell, John Matousek, Mar- jorie Elliot, Robert Rasmus and supporting characters participated. A fitting climax to a very successful year was the Junior-Senior Prom. INTO SENIORS GROW ottuni row: llrvtvlivn Muon, loin- NVQ-lnlvs, Arlene l.zn'sun, Philip Los:-n, llzu'rm-l Olson.

First, we exercised the democratic privilege ol' voting for our own officers, electing Denton Marsh, presidentg Edwin Overholt, vice-presi- dent, Judith Solberg, secretary, and James Tor- vik, treasurer. Miss Florence Warren was class sponsor. Then, with the freslnnan-sophomore de- bate, we proved that we could make use of free- dom of speech by defeating the sophomores. During homecoming our float won no less than second place, with the seniors first. VVe freshmen sponsored a school party in order to do our part socially. Several of our class dis- played remarkable talents and broke into the limelight in various musical organizations, de- clamatory, Dynamo staff and athletics. How- ever, to excel in classes was our main ambition. The following year found us more certain of ourselves and more determined to achieve suc- cess. To head the class, we chose Dale Olsong Peggy Jansen was vice-presidentg Virginia Lee, secretaryg and Frances Jane Taylor, treasurer. At homecoming we rightfully won the honor of first place with our float. Many sophomores successfully invaded the domain of extra-curricular activities. Henry Montgomery and Edwin Overholt continued in debate, representing Decorah in two inter-school tournaments. The home declamatory contest found three sophomores competing: Mary Jane Talle, Edwin Overholt and Frances Jane Taylor. Mary Jane led the oratorical division until the pre-district contest. ln athletics Dick Holm, Donald Malli, Robert Zieglemaier. Arnold Olson, Denton Marsh and Edwin Overholt were prom- inent. Journalism and musical groups attracted many others. With this fine record behind ns, we cannot but give wealth to the democracy ot' which we are a pa1't.

Sixty-seven ol' the 142 squad members were tuition pupils, eomingx from the neighboring vicinity. The remaining' seventy- five include graduates of the Decorah schools and four students who recently moved to Decorah. 'l'hese new students were Merlin Haugen, form- erly of Ureseo, la.: Vernice Hendrickson, from lla Crosse, lvisconsing Eunice Hexom ol' Hawk- ins, Wisconsing and last but not least, Iieinhard Keiler, who came all the way from Switzerland. 'l'he first scores were made by those superior upperelassmen when they started t'rig3l1tening.g' the already bewildered freshmen by initiations. However, the freshmen soon rallied nnder the leadership of Donald Lynch, captain. and his assistants-Robert Haugen, as assistant captain. and Margaret Johnson to handle the money aml keep the records. Miss llrannenian was coach. liy combining their etlcorts in teamwork, the team soon started scoring in sports and music. Some of the high point players ol' the year were Bette Harvey, freshman attendant of the homecoming queen, Kermit Vanderbilt, ont- standing: clarinet player in the D. H. S. bandg Beverly Olson. captain of the winning basket- ball team in G. A. ,Lg Darlene Eastman aml Bette Harvey, two of the cheer leaders elected for next yearg and Dorothy Womeldorf, winner ot' the higrh girls' solo audition in the mezzo- soprano division. Now, as the first quarter of this exciting game draws to a close. the freshmen look forward to their sophomore year, when they can again take up their battle after a refreshing: vacation be-- tween quarters.

'l'he student. council could be known as De- corah High School's annually elected youth con- gress, for it is composed of people that have been elected by popular vote of the student body to decide issues ot' importance that arise during the school year. lts members include the presidents ot' all the classes, clubs and other organizations, the editors ot' all the publications, the captains of all teams and their respective coaches, all faculty advisers ot' classes, clubs and organizations and the otticers ot' the student body. The president. of the student body presides at all the meetings. 'l'he work ot' the student. council this year, aside from the approving of letter awards to students, was centered mainly around the plan- ning of the D. H. S. IIOIl10l'OIIllllQ'. Besides selecting the date for the honleconiing celebration and making general plans. the coun- cil decreed that petitions for a ll0lIll't'UllllllQ' queen and her court should be passed aniong the students. lt was decided that only seniors would be eligible for the royal title. and that one ot the 1lllPt'll'S four attendants would be elected from each olf the four classes. After supervising the decorating ol' the halls and goal posts, the governing body sponsored a parade of the class tloats and the band through the business district ot' Decorah. 'l'he climax ol' this day was the gaxne with New Ilanipton in the evening. 'l'he student council may well be satisfied with its success in conducting this gala evcnt. ..X Q ivi ies Speech Music Front Row -. Mniw Juni' 'I':nIh', Irviu- l'iuIu'i-LL, Xliss lSuiu'r1:I't.

YOUR CHORD PLEASE Every Monday and lVednesday fourth period the sound of masculine voices lifted in song pierced the silence of the D. H. S. halls. One who traced the songs to their source would have found the boys' glee club practicing' in the music rooni on third floor. When volunteers were called for at the first ot' the year. t'orty-tive D. H. S. boys tried out for the organization. Since. of course. it is ini- possihle to enter such a large glee club in the contest, there were eliminations until twenty- eigrht singers remained. In selecting' inenibers for the group. Mr. Russell H. Platz chose the voices that would blend the best and the boys who would really work the hardest. After a few months of practicing, the boys' glee club was ready to appear in the December fall concert with Lo, How at Rose Ere Blooniingg' and Proudly as an Eagrlef' 'l'hen they turned their faces toward the spring music contest. For this competition Mr. lllatz directed the boys in Dedication and Un the Sea. 'l'he first con- test. the district, was at West l'nion. Here the glee club earned a Division I rating' and the opportunity to enter the state contest held at Waterloo April 27. Two soloists from thc organization entered the district contest. Peter Torvik, a baritone. sang' Vale, and Bob Dresselhaus, a bass, sang Hive a Man a Horse He Fan Ride. Both won Divi- sion ll ratings.

From this group Miss Anna Mae Davis chose the eighty-six girls who became members. They met for fifty minutes every Monday and NVednes- day to sing under the capable direction of Miss Davis, who was largely responsible for the suc- cess of the group throughout the year. The glee club prepared three songs: With a 'l'oreh, Jeanette Isabella, a Fresh folk tune, Angels D'er the Fields by tiaevert, and To- day 'l'here ls Ringing by Uhristiansen, which they presented at the t'hristmas Vocal Concert, December 21. 'l'wo small groups from the or- ganization also sang numbers for this program. At the beginning ot the second semester it was necessary to reduce the membership to thirty- two to conform with contest regulations. This group practiced diligently on the ditlicult meas- ures ot' 'l'he Valleys ot' Dream by Fletcher, late llas lioveliness 'l'o Sell by lieautieu, and Hear the Sledges With the Bells, an arrange- ment of Edgar Allen l'oe's 'l'he Hells. The girls, appearing in lovely dusty rose dresses. won a Division l rating at the preliminary state music contest at Mlest llnion on April 5 and made a fine record at the state contest at NVaterloo. In the spring a number of the girls entered the solo audition contest. held in the auditorium March 7. lfrances Wonieldorf. contralto. singing Schubert's Serenade , Marjorie Hima. soprano, with the Swiss Echo Song by Ekert and Pains Angelicusn by l ranckg and Dorothy VVomeldorf. mezzo soprano. with Sleep, liittle Baby ot' Mine by Dennee and 'l'he Mazy Dance by Ewing were winners in their 're- spective divisions.

ON THE AMERICAN FRONT Decorah 27-Cresco 13 Everyone at this game saw that Decorah planned to keep up their hard fighting. The Bucktonians ran all over Cresco to a final count of 27-13. Spike Davis and Blueboy Faldet gave good accounts of themselves. Decorah 14-Charles City 0 Decorah journeyed to Charles City and kept up their victory march. At the end of the first half Decorah had scored 1-L points. By playing heads-up football. the boys kept Charles City scoreless to the end of the game. Torgenrude and Grindeland showed themselves praiseworthy. Decorah 38-Waukon O For the last game of the season. the Buckton- ians went over to Waukon to meet their tradi- tional enemies. The first quarter ended 13 to 0 in our favor. The other quarters each had a smattering of scores. but since the game as a whole looked like a one-sided track meet, Decorah ended the season with another big victory. The second team, too, showed that they were not to be outdone when they went through the entire season undefeated. This scrappy team which consists primarily of freshmen and sophomores wo11 over teams which were i11 many cases much bigger and heavier than themselves. However, keeping in mind Coach Kjome's Words: The bigger they are-the harder they fall our boys defeated second teams from Cresco, Oelwein, New Hampton and VVaukon. Shortly after the close of the football season, all members of the 1939 squad were entertained at a banquet given by the school. A Hne slipper was served by the advanced cooking class and short talks were given by the coaches Hlld team members. Speaker of the evening was Coach Hamlet Peterson of Luther College. The gridsters named here are those who earned letters for their hard work, good playing and ti111e played. The awards were presented in an assembly shortly after the football banquet.

Around two re- turning lettermen. Howard tlwen and Don liolmgren, Voach A. F. Hancer had to build his Viking quintet. The other berths were filled by Vhellis Evanson, Vharles Hislop and Roger tlrindeland. with Kenneth liima and Bob Ziegel- maier seeing' a great deal of action. Though Decorah did not win the conference crown, it made a very creditable showing. Ut' a schedule of seventeen g'ames played, the Hancermen won nine and dropped eight. tlpening their season with liime Springs on December 5, the Vikings, although lacking a great deal of polish, were on the long' end of ll 34-20 final score. Lansing came to Decorah on December 8 and was handed a 30-19 defeat. Don Holmgren paced the Haneermen with twelve points. 'l'he Bombers from VVest llnion had too much speed and found their l'ange so easily that, as a result, the Vikings received their first loss on December 15. 'l'he final score at West l'nion was 330-18 with the Bombers on top. Usage visited here on December 19 to be the Vikings' first conference foe. The game was very close, and in spite of an Usage fourth quarter rally, the Vikings rolled out a 25-23 win. Journeying to Waukon on January 5, the locals were trimmed by the Indians 43-27. 'l'hree of the tirst string' members went out on personal fouls before the end of the fourth pe1'iod. The C'hieks from New Hampton were hosts to the Haneermen on January 12 and climaxed the opening of their new gymnasium by tripping Decorah 20-18. This was the second conference loss for the Vikings. Decorah broke its losing streak by over- powering l'resco's Spartans 29-16 on the home floor on January 10. The Huskies from Uelwein gave the Hancermen their worst shellacking of the season when the locals traveled to Uelwein on January 19 and were trampled 59-24. llixxeicu 1fl'1NNIC'l'lI RIMA Room: GaiNm:I.ANn ORVILLI-1 DANu':LsoN f'1lAnI.i4:s Hisnol AND CHEER Seeking revenge for a defeat handed them earlier in the season, the lleeorah quintet gave West, llnion a 25-24 loss in a return game on the twenty-sixth. t'hell Evanson was the man of' the hour when he sank the winning Viking free throw. ln the seeond meeting of Decorah and New Hampton, l ebruary 1, the Uhieks again l'elled a plueky lleeorah tive 29-15. I'ase's play l'or New Hampton was outstanding. llllaking a return engagement to Ureseo on February 6, the loeals outplayed the Spartans to the extent of a 87 to 21 tinal seore. Waukon found that it eouldn't make history repeat itself when the 'ln- dians eame to lleeorah February 13 and were ousted 27-153. 'l'he game. though hard fought. sported no brilliant play from either team. tlelwein speed and height again proved to be too mueh l'or the Vikings on l ebruary 16, when the loeals were turned haek 43-29.

Early in the spring' l'oaeh llaueer had his hopefuls loosening' up in the g'yIIlll?lSlll1ll before the weather permitted outside practice. The team was built around the following six letter-men returning' from last year's team: Don 1g0lIllg'I'6l1, Hob Rasmus. Orville Danielson, Shelby Gaul. liob Ziegrelmaier and John Hegrgz lhlllllllgl' those who responded to t'oaeh Haneer's call for eandi- dates for the various positions were: Don Jos- vanger, -lolm Ilegg, Hubert Herwigr, Don Lynch and liloyd Wohlford-pitehersg Shelby Gaul, Arnold Serslaud and Bob Ziegelmaier-eateh- Don lstad iinfieldersg Don Holmgren. Robert Soland, Don Gordon, Edwin Overholt, Kenneth liima. and Kenneth Sersland-outfielders. Although Deeorah lost eight men last year it was elearly shown that these positions were eapably filled by up and Cllllllllglu under-elass- men. The number of vacaneies in the squad in- dueed many new candidates to try-out and as a eonsequenee. many good players were developed. 'l'he Winneshiek County tournament was held at liuther College again this season. as has been the custom in previous years. The Vikings won the eounty ehampionship and a handsome trophy by defeating' teams from flalmar and Fort M- ersg Vurtis liarson, Orville Danielson, Charles kinson.

But in D. H. S. many a fellow's heart also turns to track. At that time this year, the familiar noise of a track team preparing for the coming season could be heard issuing forth from the gymnasium every night. Anyone entering the gym was greeted by the sight of forty-five ambitious boys going through the usual routine of ealisthenics. Later, gray-jacketed boys were visible running leisurely up and down the football field. Because of the loss of fourteen lettermen by graduation last year, Uoach ll. NV. Buckton had to build practically a whole new team around Neal Davis and Roger Grindeland, the only re- turning lettermen. 'l'he running events were taken care of by Roger Orindeland, Ray Vikesland, James Seim, Howard Owen, Orville NVinger and Robert Blaess i11 the -dashes, Lynne Running, Don Symonds, Francis Daniels and Bob Ostenson in the middle distanceg and Neal Davis, James Seim, Ray Vikesland and John Matousek for hurdlers. In the field events, James Beard, Neal Davis and Howard Owen hurled the discusg Davis, Grindeland and Gray threw the shot-put, and Arnold Olson Hlld Roger Grindeland wielded the javelin. The high-jump was taken over by Ray Vikesland, Neal Davis and Russell Christen- son, and Neal Davis was the broad jumper. In spite of the inexperience he had to combat, Coach Buckton's squad shaped up to a group that was above expectations. These boys gave every comer stiff competition.

BEAUTY BOWS TO SPORTS Just as it is the aim of the youth of D. H. S. to attain the best in all activities, it is the special purpose of the Girls' Athletic Associa- tion to keep its members in the best physical condition and to provide that much needed recreation. G. A. A., the only organization in D. H. S. for girls only, met each Tuesday and Thursday night after school, using half of the gym for practice. Since G. A. A.'ers were restless at the be- ginning of the year, they hiked out to Twin Springs with Bette Dirks, hiking chairman. There they played games and served refresh- ments. To start the ball arollin', the hockey season opened, with Norma Langland acting as chair- man. This sport attracted many girls. even though every night somebody was hit by a hockey stick and bruised. A similar sport, soccer, was next mastered, with chill October winds some- times making the girls wish that they were clad as heavily as the gridiron boys. Delores Haugen was soccer chairman. To the rescue from the cold came volley ball, with Barbara Baker leading as chairman. Since everybody liked this sport, many disappointed sighs were heard when it was quitting time. The time for basketball, Queen of all G. A. A. sports. with Virginia Dahly chairman, finally arrived. These members of the fair sex tried desperately-and futilely-to get some of Al Hancer's boys for a game. Competition within the organization being keen, though, the tourna- ment, held as in other sports to determine which team had the greatest playing ability, was a fiery one. G. A. A. is interested not only in girls' recrea- tion while in school but also trains members in games to be enjoyed after graduation. lts motto is: Not a wallflower in the bouquet l ln order that everyone would have a fair chance, ping- pong, slnifiieboard, tennis. bowling and badmin- ton were divided into beginners' and advanced groups. Badminton. a new game this year led by Doris Halvorson, will without a doubt con- tinue to be a popular activity. Ping-pong, with Arneda Grindeland acting as chairman, is a skilled sport liked by everyone who learns to play it. lt was surprising how many girls went out for shuffleboard and bowling. minor sports. liucille Miller was chairman. ln tennis Mary Margaret Roberts, also chairman of the same sport, earned the advanced players' tennis crown. The club's contortionist, Virginia Johnson, tried to show the other members the various twists connected with tumbling. Most girls de- cided It's Nice Work if You Can Get lt, but they would prefer to let Virginia have it. ln spring, a young lady's fancy turns to- baseballf' Probably one reason this sport is popu- lar is that so many girls can play at once. Ardis Groth was baseball chairman. All of this is G. A. A.'s prescription for sports enjoyment. As the year is closed, the members can look back and say, The ball was kept arollin'-- but it could not have been so without the work of Miss Effie Neilson, sponsor, Phyllis Bridell, president, Amy Hovden, vice-president, Corinne Pole, treasurer, and Kathryn Seim, sec- retary.

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The Cneota Chapter of the Future Farmers is an active organization composed of 18 boys who aspire to be tillers of the soil after graduation from high school. This group has for its advisor Mr. Kenneth Reeves, agriculture instructor in D. H. S. At their initial meeting they elected the following officers: John Hegg, president, Arnold Sersland, vice-presidentg and Charles Rosendahl, secretary-treasurer. The F. A. A. participates in a wide variety of activities during the year. Each year, a live- stock judging team is sent to the Waterloo Dairy Cattle Congress, where they consistently make fine showings for our school. They have also be- come quite well-known for the fine basketball teams which they have, and this year they did especially well by winning the Future Farmers' District basketball tournament. With the com- ing of spring, these boys play soft-ball and base- ball and thus live up to their reputation of being one of the most active organizations in Decorah High School. FROEBEL CLUB Two years ago the Froebel Club became a part of the newly organized National Future Teach- ers' Association. retaining Froebel as the name of the local chapter. This year the club received a 116W charter with two gold seals indicating two years of national membership in good standing. Under the sponsorship of Miss Hazel Brazel- ton, the group enjoyed a profitable year. The first business was the election of officers. Jean Brandt was voted presidentg Lucille Winger, vice-presidentg Muriel Headington, secretaryg Arlene Larson, treasurer, and Carolyn Nelson, reporter. These officers were responsible for the very interesting meetings which were had through-out the year. Highlights included a joint Future Teachers and Future Farmers meet- i11g alld a Dutch theme banquet. The organiza- tion also entertained the Postville High School's Future Teachers Club. THE LIBRARY CLUB The Library Club, which is a newly formed group this year. is composed of thirty members who assist Miss Powers during library periods. The purpose of this organization is to familiarize these people with the library so that they may in turn help other students to use it to the best advantage. Any student is eligible to belong to this group and many have gained a greater ap- preciation of our fine library by joining this organization. This group doesn't, however, spend its entire time Working, since they have regular social meetings i11 the form of picnics and parties at which games and refreshments are enjoyed by all. COMMERCIAL CLUB The high school Commercial Club, organized by the advanced shorthand class of 1939, was again in prominence during this school year. With Irene Lubke as president, Everetta. Rear- don as secretary, and Kathryn Seim as treasurer, a great deal of work and fun was participated in by the entire group. Membership in the club is open to anyone in the advanced commercial courses. No special requirements are necessary but since the purpose of the club is to increase ability in all commercial work, a great deal of interest is shown in individual achievement. This year the people in the advanced classes who could meet the typing and shorthand re- quirements were placed in Decorah business of- fices where for six weeks they received actual office experience. So that the club functions would not be all work and no play, potluck suppers were held at different times during the year and a banquet at the Green Parrot climaxed the club activities for the year. , , gg J.4.e,f J,,. lui M.

To do this. the statl' entered the Critical Service Bureau ot' the N. S. l'. A. During the first semester eaeh issue was sent to this bureau. where eritieisms were marked on the paper and it was returned to the editor two weeks later with a letter eontaining ideas for improvements. Experiments with the front page were carried on by using two-column headlines with one- eolumn stories. pietures and eartoons. During the seeond semester. the statt tried to use one photograph in eaeh issue. The eredit for the make-up ot' this trout page is to be given to the managing editor. Marjorie Talle, who served on the statt' her entire tour years in high school. The seeond page, whieh was used for features, ineluded in every issue a story about one of thc most prominent members ot' the senior 1-lass. The feature editor. Mary Margaret Jaeger. was in eharge ot' this work. Football. basketball, traek and baseball aetivi- ties were very ably covered on the fourth page by Hob tlstenson and his assistants. Rob, the sports editor. also had his own column, 'Side- lights. Tom liyneh. acting as business manager, was responsible for having an income large enough to eover expenditures. Other seniors who deserve praise for their ef- fort this year are Mary M. Roberts. copy editor, llette Dirks. exchange edito1'. Jeanne M'ilson. advertising manager, Marjette l ritehen. feature writer, and Phyllis Bridell. Marilynn Sanderson, Elaine Sunday and Doris Halvorson. typists. The Dynamo also entered the soeial aetivi- ties ot' D. II. S. by sponsoring two sehool parties. At the first one it introduced a new type ot' musie to sehool parties-the publie address system. Not only was this enthusiastieally received by the students but it also enabled the group spon- soring the dance to earn a profit. The seeond party was the sueeesstul Leap Year Dance whieh showed the D. Il. S.
