Miss Kathryn Karsten, music teacher, was responsible for the organization of the Girls' Glee Club and for the introduction of stage work to the club. Miss Karsten is to be congratulated upon the selection of the operettas and the excellent selection of talent which she made, also upon the preparation displayed upon the stage. The entire High School appreciates the fact that the operettas have bettered our social life and also increased the interest taken in school work, both by the students and the parents.

Pianist, Lovilla Ileckroth. The Story: The plot of the operetta is an allegory. The charming follies and the King of the Isle of Chance cause the wreck of the Good Ship Ease upon the rocks of the isle. The King tries to ensnare the captain and his friends with many games of chance. When they are almost beaten the Good Ship Hope comes in sight and rescues the wayfarers. They resolve that 'fHome again, never to roam again will be their motto thereafter. Ellyn minhmillz nf Bullard! --1922 Mynheer Ilertogenbosch, rich Ilolland farmer ....................,.............

The Story: Mynheer Hertogenbosch owns a mill which Bob Yankee from America wishes to have torn down and replaced with modern machinery. Bob falls in love with Wilhelmena Hertogenbosch but she remains true to her village lover, Hans, and thus proves a true daughter of Holland. just as Mynheer is in the act of signing Bob's contract, Vrouw Hertogenbosch, her daughters, and the mill hands declare a strike in case the mill is torn down. Bob gives up the propo- sition and all ends happily for the mill people. IVI, E. M. AND H. M. R. Forty-Seven

S. student, to serve as coach. ln the early part of the school year a few games of base ball were played with a moderate degree of success. Soccer foot ball and a little track work formed the greater part of the athletic work until it became too cold to work outside. All this was being done as a help for the coming basket ball season. When the weather became too cold, the team began working in the gym. A very successful athletic carnival, consisting of wrestling and boxing, was put on as a means of getting a hnancial start for the season. When this was over, about three weeks were left before the basket ball season started. This meant that there would be three weeks of very hard work because of the amount of green material on hand. Reimer and Ackerman were the only ones having had any first team experience. After several nights of practice Coach Barnes decided on the following line-up to start the Belle Plaine game at Belle Plaine, on December 9: Waldo Reimer .............................. Center Albert Erbe ....... .... L eft Forward Haners Lorenzen ..... .... R ight Forward Wesley Mehlhouse ..... .... R ight Guard Alvin Ackerman ..... .... L eft Guard Walter Coldxl Floyd Stahr .... . . . Substitutes Willie Clarkil This line-up worked very nicely and was maintained throughout the season. Three games were lost by very small margins out of a total of Hfteen games on the schedule. On the third and fourth of March Dysart entered the Cedar Falls tournament at Cedar Falls. Captain Reimer and Ackerman were unable to go, but Harold Zozel was pressed into service and the rest of the team made the trip in very poor condi- tion. They met the strong Hudson team on Friday morning and won by the score of l3 to Zl. The sensational shots of Mehlhouse from the center of the floor were a large factor in the defeat. Lawler was met in the afternoon and was defeated by the score of 26 to ll. The third game was played with the fast Grundy Center aggregation, whom we had defeated twice before. We entered the game feeling conhdent because of these two victories. We were disappointed, however, as we received the short end of the score that was 23 to 3. We did not feel very bad about it because Grundy had only played two games while this was our third Forty-Eight
