' l jcfemsm .sz 79 O Oh how well I remember That one day last September The school busses made their familiar rounds And the noise in the hall, was of joyous sounds. School had gotten back in the swing With football, American Government, and everything. As the time and days flew by Winter and snow and cold drew nigh. Basketball season advanced game by game The scores from each were about the same Then finally Tournaments rolled around And people showed up from all over the town. After Basketball, it was more tests again In one day, I think we averaged ten That didn't last long though Because baseball spirit began to grow. Now that baseball is well under way It's the prom, which really is gay Gals in their formals, guys in their suits Food galore and music to boot. But now it's past, and graduation is near Pictures, announcements, and a little fear So ends the school year of 19.50 A wonderful year that has gone by swiftly. ll ' 1 ll, , f I S w if Q if V A 6 Join i I' V 'I F oafz of Education Standing--Mr. H.

John Metz was chosen ring master while Eleanor Hanson, Rita Hartfield, and Pat Murn hopped to his holler. Maybe Lewis Burt, Kenneth Dalbec, and Clarence Strey got caught feeding the animals because we lost them along the way. As the performance continued we became more interested and found ourselves able-bod- ied sophomores. Allan Fonfara seemed to have surplus energy that year so we chose him to lead us on. Charles Askov, Kenneth Ludescher, and Eleanor Hanson helped him in the right direction. Donna Meyers, Rita Hartfield, and Harry Tucker lingered behind us. And as we returned for our third year Leonard Schaust was no longer with us. As John Metz: was such an ambitious freshmen leader we again gave him the task of leading us through our junior year. Pat Murn, Ruby LeNoue, and Carol Dunn assisted him. On November 5, 1948, we stopped off at one of the side shows and gave the play Miss Jimmy. One of the booths contained the Minnesota Centennial, so we made that the scene of our junior-senior prom. For the last act of the circus we selected Pat Murn to tell us what to do. The main feature of the Big Top on October 26 was the crowning of Eleanor Hanson and Arnold Mense as Homecoming King and Queen. Another event of the last act was the play By Any Other Name presented on November 1 8. It w:asn't long after our class play that a Christmas party was given for the trainees of future circuses. As we roamed about a little longer we found we soon would be marching out of the Big Top into a world of entirely new circumstances. Now for the first time we are leading others instead of following someone else.

Formerly mimeographed, it was printed this year by a photographic printing process. Each edition contained senior interviews, grade news, feature news, cur- rent news about D. H. S., sports, gossip, an editorial, and above all other features is the fact that we were able, for the first time, to have pictures in our paper. The editor for the year was Pat Murng assistant editor, Diane Sell, advi- sor, Mr. Hein. The Student Council is a relatively new organization in our school. Each year they have been given new powers. Some of their activities are: sponsor homecoming activities, select lyceum programs for the next school year, allot selling privileges at basketball games to the classes and activities, and they have worked out, with the teachers, a new sys- tem of letter awards. The senior and junior class presidents automatically become members. In addition, two members are elected from each class including grades 9-12 and one member each from grades 7 and 8.

A The play centers around Parrie Moore, who is seriously stage struck and keeps the Moore household in a constant uproar. Mrs. Patrick, the neighborhood gossip, overhears Parrie rehearsing to play the leading role in the class play, Macbeth, Mrs. Patrick becomes very indignant and arranges to have her daughter, Olive, play the role. ' Lonnie Mansfield, Parrie's steady, comes to her rescue by giving Olive vocal lessons which aids her cold in destroying her voice. Thus, Parrie is a- gain the star and all are friends. To add the final humor to the play Olive swallowed a bobby-pin, which to- tally incapacitated her. Much credit is due Mrs. Olson, who acted as the advisor. The urge to act gets us all sooner or later, but here is our chance at the Ring theater--the Juniors presented the three act comedy, Seventeenth Summer. The forceful acting of Beverly Jorgensen as Angie, and Louis Eckhoff as Jack, combined to give Delano goers an exciting evening. After the play the cast enjoyed an informal ch-icken-in-the-ruff at the Buckhorn. Both the play and their evening at the Buckhorn were supervised by Mrs. Wikel. .

There was an evening of great excitement on Tuesday, October 25th, at the school playgrounds. For this was the beginning of the activities for the homecom- ing celebration of Delano High. A huge bonfire was set aflame at eight o'clock by the football captain, Rich- ard Dunn. The cheerleaders led the crowd in their true, great school spirit. The school float was beautifully decorated in our colors, orange and black. Mrs. Wikel acted as mistress of ceremonies introducing the speakers, Mr. Par- sons, superintendent of our beloved schoolg Mr. Volting Mr. Allen Juelke, football coachj and then members of the squad and Mr. Petersen, coach of our basketball team. The school band furnished the music for the occasion. ...oflg Then came the exciting moment we were all waiting for, the crowning of the homecoming queen and king. Handsome Arnold Mense was crowned king by Bobby Schumacher, substituting for Wallace Johnson, 1948 king. Beautiful, blond Eleanor Hanson was crowned queen by Marlys Brandenburg, 1948 queen. Concluding the ceremonies of the evening we all lined up for the snake dance, led by the cheerleaders, and a great time was had by all. The next evening, October 26th, was the homecoming game with Howard Lake as our opponents. Of course, our team carried the game off to a victory for us. We then all spent the rest of the evening at the King and Queen's Ball, at the school gymnasium. Queen Eleanor was attended by her maids of honor, Pat Murn and Jean Jacobs. King Arnold had as his attendants, Richard Ditty and Wilfred Honebrink. Lunch was served and then we all journeyed home, happy with the memor- ies of the 'homecoming of 1949, for some of us the last one, as students at Delano High.

The backfield escaped severe injury as most of the boys played last year. In spite of many setbacks Coach Allan Juelke whipped his prospective pigskin toters into a good team. The Delano Tigers opened their season by playing a tough Cokato eleven. The Tigers. played a good game, but Cokato squeezed out the victory. The Tigers made a roaring comeback the next game by smearing Watertown. Delano then ventured to Maple Lake to battle with a surprisingly strong fighting Irish eleven. Although the teams fought up and down'the field the entire game, neither scored. The Delano eleven won the all important home- coming game with Howard Lake, although the Lakers tried hard, the determined Tigers left them no chance for victory.

Mr. Juelke's last year's baseball players lined up as an all-veteran team a.nd took the District title, but sacrificed the last game of the Regional Tournament to Minneapolis Edison. Much credit for this success was due Wally Johnson, the star pitcher. Other teamwork came from Donald Eckhoff, Edward Leuthner, and Clement Matter. With Weihe as our starring pitcher in 1950, the team is expected t-o follow the 49er's steps to many victories. BASEBALL The late spring and finding replacements for last year's sluggers are Coach J'ue1ke's two biggest baseball problems. The late spring has made outdoor practices very few, although the baseball candidates have been practicing in the high school gym. With some shifting of po- sitions and a few more outdoor practices, the fhome -run hittingj Orange and Black should have a very successful season. 1950 SCHEDULE April 21 Howard Lake April 24 Cokato April 26 Watertown April 28 Dassel May 1 Howard Lake May 5 Cokato May 8 Dassel slzioz gefsgzifiai How you all? -- Nuttin' to do -- Sittin' pretty -- Oh, to be young again -- Giggle Giggle -- Do you always sit there? -- Cute piggy bank -- Posing -- Big Romance -- Isn't summer grand -- Almost 15 -- What next? -- Someone get us down -- 1946 styles -- Eighth grade finals -- What's over there -- The three old maids -- All night at Murns -- Enough said -- Goodbye -- elziofz Ufaai We, the senior class of 1950, Village of Delano, County of Wright, State of Minnesota and United States of America, do hereby bequeath all our property in the following manner: Charles Askov wills his rampage in Friday morning study to anyone who can get by with it.
