Luverne Lynn Freshmen ----Irene O'Leary THE BLAST 1921 FOREWORD To give a picture of high school life, as reflected in the activities of Greenway State High School, the Class of 1921 have the honor of presenting this the first issue of THE BLAST. Go, then, initial number, and by picture and story interpret the spirit of our school. Introduce the Board of Edu- cation and the Faculty to every friend of Greenway High. List the name of every graduate. Honor each Alumnus and stu- dent Who served at their Country's call. Be a joyful reminder to each student now enrolled of school days in which they joined in literary program and dramatic entertainment, in glee club and orchestra, in contest on gridiron, diamond, gymnasium floor and outdoor track, and in picnic and party. And through these pages of print and picture may every supporter of Ma- roon and Gold catch a gleam of the nobler purposes of student days which may, We pray, broaden into the full light of de- termined purpose and Worthy life. 1921 THE BLAST 0ur School Our School! Your school and mine. What does that mean? If you are making yourself a part of this school, it is indeed yoursg if you are not doing this, it is by no means yours. To make yourself a part of a school you must sup- port it in all its enterprises to the utmost of your ability. You must jealously guard the honor of the school and be concerned in the position it holds among other schools of its kind. You must uphold the standard of the school by keep- ing your marks above grade. You must take pride in the victories and the standing achieved by the school. If you do not stand back of your school, if you care not how your school compares with others, if you do not uphold the standard of your school by good scholarship, and if you do not take pride in its achievements, then you are merely an onlookerg you are no part of that glorious institution, Our School. More than that, if you are not constructively a part of the school and concerned about its wel- fare, you are a detriment to it and a demoraliz- ing infiuence in it. If you have been an onlooker, change your methods right now: push! instead of drag, then feel thesatisfaction and pride of one who owns a real interest in Our School. VIVIAN FRANTI, Editor.

Greenway Seniors, '21 Class History ' The Class of '21 entered Greenway High School as Freshmen, Sept. 3, 1917. A few have dropped from the roll, while several have entered from other schools, so that thirty-one students-girls and boys-are graduating. The first year was completed with great honor to the class, who carried off Iirst honors in the inter-class literary contest. As Sophomores, the girls became enthusiastic boosters of their newly organized athletics, several of them playing basketball for the first time, a game in which the same girls have since proved most pro- ficient. The boys, though few in number, have been equally Well rep- resented on Greenway's various team, including the crack football squad of 1920. The Junior Prom, held in June, 1920, was an elaborate affair in decorations and entertainment, ranking among the most successful events of the season. Financially, it gave the class a fair start in the rather large task it attempted in its Senior year. This last lap of High School has found the class of '21 occupying the coveted northeast corner of the Assembly Room, bent on keeping up the standard of scholarship they had maintained as under-classmen. This they did, in spite of their unceasing interest in Greenway's many enterprises, their All Senior play, which was presented four times, and their venture of publishing Greenway's first Annual, The Blast. 1921 THE BLAST ANNIE BARKLA f Tillie J Oh my stars.

THE BLAST 1921 To the World in General Oh! treat our Seniors kindly And do to them no harmg Though some come from the city, Many are from the farm. There's Bither, future lawyer, And Jean, his heart's delightg Orville DeShaw, the orator, And Isabel so bright. Then there are the two Barklas- Ann, prim and Clifford bold, Theylre going to be musicians Before they're very old. Next comes bright, cute Mayme Marting And brilliant Edna Smith, Bill Fisher, sober Addieg And Mozie dear, so true, Then Trig and Alyce Scannell, With eyes of fairest blue. And there are several others, Whom I cannot just now nameg But whose Welfare and happiness We Wish for just the same. So to the World in general We send out just this plea: Be kind to our dear Seniors When they leave-the world to see. Angela Meenahan. 1 92 1 THE BLAST l I 2 7,1 ff , . .

Possibly the large num- ber of boys in our number helps to account for our pep. On Jan. 27 We gave our class play, What Happened to Jones. The success of this hila- rious comedy made us feel that for that one evening, at least, we dropped all signs of our amateur manners and became real stars. The boys' basketball team of the class won the inter-class championship. The girls' basket- ball team ranked second among the girls' teams. The big event of the year, the J unior-Senior Prom, was held June 10. This was the most elaborate and 'successful social affair of the year. The hall was decorated with masses of flowers in artificial flower-beds, Window-boxes and baskets. A feature of the evening was a series of national dances in costume, presented by various members of the schools in this dis- trict. 1 921 THE BLAST -EOFHDNORES' Es Y N AT : f Q! 6-nfF'5hTlI Nj-T-. - A nun W i4 - Tn g -i NNR 4 -- -YP?

This class, as Freshmen, in 1920 gained distinction by developing a pow- erful basketball team which came within one point of winning the high school championship. This class also put on some of the best literary programs of the year. In Athletics the Sophomore Class has played its part well. Two of its members, Paul Lowe and John Tok, have starred on the boys' first team in basketball. Ralph Seaman upheld the honor of the class in football. These three boys give promise of being the future athletic mainstays of the Greenway High School. The girls of the sophomore class have helped to bring honor to Greenway this year by playing on both first and second basketball teams. In the Hnal girls' game, which gave Greenway the championship of the range, Allie Koski and Zenya Raisanen were the outstand- ing players. Both last year and this year the Sophomore girls won the school championship in the girls' inter-class tournament. 1 92 1 THE BLAST 47 FRESHMEN A 'f 1' i '4 0 EZ' I G bf XR I' 1 ge Q GG G0 00 CO0 GD Q3 G O 0 v G GRADUATE- G 0 I vn.LE. 990 0 Q0 o 'J 0 ' Q G 9 I K Avo, .AH TNXNNVA M, 0 0 444W- ,,,.VA1..1 N f Q G y 0 0 ,o' 'Wlffg .:L -7 .-v 4 xx 5 K ji' -V -V ,, wk ,vm :. .. 11 '-43-'D ' 1 2 Y . 1' THE BLAST 1921 48 ,kk L 5 n L 1921 THE BLAST 49 Class Officers President ------- --------------- ------ -....

Each maid was in her newest frockg each lad, his Sunday suit, with loudest necktie from the rack, and highly polished boot. Not long past 7:30 the fun began to start, and long be- fore 'twas 8 o'clock, they were all taking part -with music in the lower hall--a football game or two-a soccer contest during which fair Mar- garet lost her shoe. The party then divided into Sioux and Cherokees, with races run of every sort-a contest sure to please. Young Spehar won the penny race--he shoved it with his nose, and when the prize was thrown mid-air, they spoiled their Sunday clothes scrambling for peanuts. Then they danced the Virginia Reel. When someone hollered, Dinner, all lined up for the meal prepared by Dear Miss Burgess and her band of famous cooks, who handed out such salad as cannot be learned from books. fm ssuo ggx ' 0 0 5.1: if 'CA ling! :-ffi F :Diff I J 1 92 1 THE BLAST Bovey School THE BLAST 1921 5 E 4: rn 4-D Q-I 5 1921 THE BLAST k 1' Q1 ,-,-u THE BLAST 1 92 1 till 2 !ZlHW!IlH 4 I School Consolidated Prairie La 1921 THE BLAST Ai' xx ,H wr .', aah? 55 School Calumet 1921 ...Na- 1 921 THE BLAST V N N N ,v- N . fav -fffkh 4 'LEE iw P , P x 58 THE BLAST 1921 Literary Clubs---Programs Greenway Literary Clubs Near the beginning of the school year we organized two literary clubs. All students became automatically members of one or of the other. The Freshmen and Juniors named their organization the Del- phiang the Sophomores and Seniors named theirs the Saphonian. The Delphians elected Rufus Patnaude, president, Oliver Cedarstrom, vice- presidentg and Leona Sanddal, secretary. The Saphonians elected Wil- liam Fisher, president, Marguerite McGrath, vice-president, and Allie Koski, secretary. The object of these societies is partly to bind the students together as a body, but more to give the members a chance to practice appearing in public before their long-suffering, defenseless classmates. The meetings have been a great success. There have been pro- grams of various kinds, each one having a general topic developing a certain man or event. The numbers include dramatic selections, poems, discussions, debates, music, and last, but not least, a mock newspaper, containing all the news of the school,-public and private. These newspapers are the real gauntlet to run. If there is anybody who has not been hit by a well-aimed pun or by a careful reminder of some of his interesting experiences, he must be quite a model individual. There is nothing that the students like better than to hear the teachers come in for their share, as they do at times. Many numbers at these meetings were exceedingly well given. In the first meeting,--a Julius Caesar program,-the humorous touch came when Paul Franklin and Edgar Blain, dressed in Roman cos- tumes, played the tragic scene of the parting of Brutus and Cassius be- fore the battle. The sorrow of Cassius seemed so intense that it spread from the players to the audience. Can you imagine the whole flock of high school students on the verge of tears? In another meeting,--a James W. Riley program,-one of Riley's popular poems was given very well in dialogue form by Wilfred Pel- letier, Tony Mehelich and Jimmie Kingston, bringing back to most of us memories of those golden childhood hours of shows and circuses,- admission ten pins. One of the best numbers on the program was Giant Jackie King's recitation of The Raggedy Man. - Another program commemorated Armistice Day. A very good dialogue was given by Marion Wyss and William Fisher, representing an American soldier who does not Hcomprendre Francais trying to get a dinner from a petite jolie French waitress. Two war poems were well interpreted by Vivian Franti and Lavona Jasper. An oxtette of amateur male voices touchingly rendered When the Boys Come Home and Old Man Jazz. In the Christmas program Miss Dougher gave a beautiful reading of Henry Van Dyke's famous story, The Other Wise Man. To our exceeding disappointment Lincoln's birthday fell, this year, on a Saturday, but we had a Lincoln's birthday program on Friday. On 1921 THE BLAST 59 this occasion we felt a new thrill as we awakened to the existence of heretofore undiscovered talent in our midst. This pleasing discovery was made when our beloved Girls' Glee Club sang Massa's in the Cold, Cold Ground, --with ukelele accompaniment. Stifled sobs and groans of compassion and sympathy for the poor departed Massa and his lov- ing slaves, were heard everywhere. The girls gave an encore of a very pretty song called The Snow. The masterly number on the pro- gram was William Fisher's oration entitled A Tribute to Lincoln,' given later in the Range Declamatory Contest. The glorious termina- tion of the program was a song by the Boys' Glee Club. The Washington Program included Isabel Hodgin's declamation, The Man Without a Country, which was later given in the girls' section of the Range Oratorical Contest. Margaret Smith interpreted with very good eEect the patriotic poem, Drake's American Flag. Perhaps the most popular recitation given on any program during the year was Ralph Bunnell's dialect number, A Dutchman's Impressions of the American Fleet. l Senior Class Day Tradition having dictated about what any Class Day Exercise should include, the Class of '21, being just a normal group of Seniors, has tried not to quite revolutionize those institutions of the past. The following were chosen to prepare the various parts, which, with vocal selections by Myrtle Goulet, and class songs, poems and yells, were presented Tuesday afternoon, June 7, at the Coleraine City Hall, which had been elaborately decorated for the occasion.

Sophomore Class Program The Kleptomaniacn was a one-act farce staged by eight of the Sophomore girls the night of the Sophomore Class program. Russel Schoengarth and Jessie O'Brien featured that night in the skit entitled A Pair of Lunaticsf' The musical talent of the class was displayed in the vocal solo by Myrtle Steifes, the cello solo by Russell Schoengarth, and the singing of the class chorus. The program was in the nature of an entertainment for the school and after the literary talent of the class had been displayed, the sophomores became the hosts of the high school at a dancing party. 60 THE BLAST 1921 Essay Contests Thrift The Coleraine Literary Club offered prizes of thrift stamps for the best essays written by Greenway High School students, on the subject of Thrift It is a credit to our Freshmen and Sophomore classes that all of these prizes were Won by lower classmen :-Anna Kent, firstg Jes- sie O'Brien, second, Maurice Whalen, third. Prizes were given also for the best Thrift posters: Irma O'Leary, first, Ruth Gillette, second. The Prize Winning Essay By ANNA KENT Thrift is a wise planning of resources in order that one may get the full value from every penny, from every minute, and from every energy and talent. Thrift includes economy, providence, and prudence in earning and giving. Thrift does not include parsimony nor miserli- ness. A We must practice thrift in all its forms. Everyone of us should eliminate every unnecessary expense. We should save every possible 5-cent piece, even though it has seemingly so depreciated in value that its worth is negligible. It is a failing of youth to fail to distinguish clearly between thrift and stinginess, between generosity and extravagance. Spending money wisely is real thrift. Looking ahead and providing for one's future and for the possible rainy day, is real thrift. The thrift that was practiced during the war was the best evi- dence that the United States could put before the world of her capa- bility as a nation. Our pennies put in War Savings Stamps furnished the bullets for many machine guns. Our war gardens fed a devastated Belgium. But thrift is not for war-time alone. Today we are the creditor nation of the World. We can maintain our supremacy only by the practice of the same thrift that put us in that enviable position. Let each of us work hard to earn all we cang that is thrift. Let each of us buy wisely to get all we can with our earningsg that is thrift. Let each of us use what we buy as long as we cang that is thrift. Of our surplus let us back up the United States government by purchasing War Stamps and Bondsg that is thrift, not only for ourselves, but for our glorious nation. I 1921 THE BLAST 61 The-Book That Has Educated Me the Most The best essays on the above subject were given money prizes by our own High School Athletic Association as follows: Adeline Con- cetto, firstg Orville DeShaw, secondg Iva Bell, thirdg Dorothy Liese, honorable mention. THE BIOGRAPHY OF BOOKER T. WASHINGTON It may seem peculiar, but when the above title was mentioned to me, the first subject that suggested itself was not Bacon's Advance of Learning nor Shakespeare's Macbeth nor Eliot's Romola, but a simple, unadorned biography which commands but little space in the history of American literature- The Biography bf Booker T. Washington. Education consists not in knowing everything, but in knowing what to know. This is what the little biography taught me. It taught me how and why to educate myself. It did not do this by philosophizing on the subject in a weary and brain-racking way, but in coming straight to the point with four illustrated rules. The first of these rules is to want an education. The power of this desire can very well be demonstrated by Mr. Washington's achieve- ment in educating himself. For an obscure child of the obscurest race to become a star among a prejudiced, antagonistic people is a feat which seems to top all of Edison's successful efforts. If Mr. Washing- ton had not wanted to educate himself, he would be as unknown as is a single leaf in a wild and will-less autumnal spray. The second rule is to spare no efforts to get an education. Mr. Washington made it plain that nothing should get in his way. The porter's tip and suit were very tempting, but Mr. Washington chose to go hungry and to sleep under the sidewalk rather than to quit the poor school he was attending. Even today in a prosperous community the commercial world makes tempting offers to struggling school stu- dents. How often have I refused one, merely that I might continue my schooling-all because of that little biography which has given me enough common sense to stick to- it. The third rule is to get an education. This is an old story. One has no sympathy for the student who idles, waiting for the gods to 62 THE BLAST 1 921 put the golden spoon into his mouth. He who attains anything must work for it. Likewise, he who works will surely attain his aim. The fourth is to use an education. Mr. Washington did not go back to Tuskegee to dream scholastic dreamsg he went back to work, to put into practice the principles that he had learned. He achieved his aim by building up a school for which every man of his race was thankful. In fact by this one deed he elevated the black race. He became a famous lecturer and a noted writer. Thus by his own efforts, he not only educated himself, but he also helped his whole race and his country. He was a real patriot. Education can be used for no bet- ter purpose than to make such a citizen as Booker T. Washington. Literary critics may not rank the biography very high, but it certainly takes its place as a purpose giver. It does not moralizeg it illustrates. It does not give rules and axiomsg it works them out. It does not commandg it suggests. Moreover, it is not a philosophical treatiseg it is a simple story which a child of nine can understand. The great literary classics are no doubt very enlightening, but the book that has helped me the most is the work of the famous negro, Booker T. Washington. Adeline Concetto. 1921 THE BLAST Declamatory and Discussion Leagues For the first time in the history of Green- way, members of her student body participated in inter-scholastic declamatory and discussion contests. This participation was made possible only by the earnest endeavor and the enthusiasm of her representatives: Isabel Hodgins, Wil- liam Fisher and Amelia Derzai. Twelve range schools participated in the boys' oratorical contest held at Hibbing the af- ternoon of March 3. William Fisher delivered Henry Watterson's Lincoln with force and effect. He won fourth place. In the evening of the same day was held the girls' declamatory contest. Isabel Hodgins gave a reading of The Man Without a Coun- try by Hale, acquitting herself with great credit. Amelia Derzai helped 'to represent the Range District in the State Discussion League which was held at Macalester College in St. Paul. The subject for discussion was Resolved, That the State of Minnesota Lay a Tonnage Tax on Iron Ore. The negative argument was up- held by Miss Derzai and Mr. Karlinski of Eve- leth. Our representative gained honor for her- self and Greenway by coming ,out third and winning a scholarship at Macalester. Mr. Kar- linski of Eveleth won first place. 64 THE BLAST 1921 English Department To a Geranium in a Window Oh, brightest flower, thou dost keep The thoughts of spring forever with thee. For while through nature's long, cold sleep We may forget to look to see If in our hearts we still do keep Our springtime hopes, though nature sleep, And sleeping doth not let us see That Spring is coming soon, to free The buds beneath the heavy snow,- Thy glowing face shines through the pane, Presaging spring, though winds do blow. We hasten down the long, cold lane, Our hearts with springtime hopes aglow. -Helen Watson. Justice Justice! Few words exist with a fuller and broader meaning. A word of seven letters which makes matters between the government and the governed run smoothly. It does not matter whether the re- lation be in world affairs between the great powers of the world, in state affairs, in school affairs, or even in small childish diiferences- justice should be the ruling factor in the settlement of the situation. We see cases of the abuse of justice in every work man has ever under- taken to do. True, some injustice in this world must exist, because no man has a perfect brain, but every man can, at least do his best in being as just as possible in all his dealings. If he does this he can rest as- sured that the world will be the better for it. Orville DeShaw, Senior President. Consistency ? Some people certainly are nervy! declared Dorothy Liese indig- nantly, as she entered the sewing room. Why? What's the matter?

Kota resurrected a powder-puff from some mysterious source, and put it to good use. Eddie introduced him to me once at a dance, and he just ruined my new pumps. She leaned close to the mirror and smoothed her pretty eyebrows with a dainty thumb and forefinger. Really, though, I think it's just awfully silly, don't you? chimed in Helen Cashen. Here, let me get there next, you don't need any primping, said Beatrice to Isabel, as Kota gave herself the once-over and moved away 1921 THE BLAST 65 from the mirror. Gee, I don't blame Alyce for kidding him along a little. And anyhow, I don't want 'im. Beatrice replaced a hairpin, patted an ear puff, and stood back to study the effect.

I shall here, according to my promise, communicate to the public such pecu- 66 THE BLAST 1 921 liargties as we observed in that curious piece of anatomy, a ,Freshman's ea . Our operator, before we engaged in this visionary dissection, told us that there was nothing in his art more difficult than to lay open the head of a Freshman, by reason of its hardness of shell, which he said would spoil many instruments before it was done. He desired us iirst of all to observe the skull, the hardest part of the head, which we did very attentively. We perceived that it was of extraordinary thickness and chiseled from solid stone. By using our powerful glasses we could perceive millions of small dents and scars where various bits of knowledge had tried to gain entrance, but we could not find a single place where any had entered. Having cleared away the skull We came to the working part of the head or the brain, which was rough and reminded me of a walnut. Upon Weighing the brain in my hand, I found it to be extremely light, and apparently very hollow, which I wondered at greatly. Upon look- ing inside of it, I saw multitudes of cells, designed for the storing away of various bits of knowledge, but these were all empty. Of readin', wriitin' and 'rithmetic we found no trace, but of foolish triiies we found a-p enty. ' As soon as we finished our dissection, we resolved to make an experiment with the head, not being able to determine among our- selves the nature of its substance, which differed in so many particulars from the heads of other humans. Accordingly, We laid it upon a table under a powerful glass. As I looked through the glass I perceived the head fading away. As the last bit disappeared a loud crash came which carried me up into the air and down again onto the floor by my bed, where I sat rubbing my head and thinking over my last dream. Humphrey Lynch. Physics Oh. what a waste of human energy It is to study all this awful stuff. ' It seems like reading my own elegy All carved deep upon my gravestone rough.

Problems drive me to my waiting years,-- Oh, Physics, verily thou art my curse! Mozelle Gouchnour. Better American Speech Week Better American Speech Week the first week in November, is to be an annual occurrence. It is a week wherein, all over the country, especial attention is paid to the correction of our faulty and careless English, and to the elimination of slang. Better American Speech Week was celebrated with a vengeance in Greenway. For days ahead the walls looked like the upper adver tising section in the interior of a streetcar, so covered were they with posters. These posters, made by the pupils, bore such inspiring maxims as S. O. S. CStop Our SlangJ, Pick up your G's, To the Garbage Can With Them -the latter always depicting Mr. Falk, or some of 1921 THE BLAST 67 his pals, throwing a hugh pile of terms labeled, aint, hadn't ought, Johnnie he, and had went into a refuse container. Others gave simply some enlightening verse, home-talent maxims, or prayerg such as- I said 'aint' last nightg I said 'aint the night before, But tonight I shall not say it, I shall never say it more. or Neither a curser nor a slang-man be, for cursing loses you a friend, and slang doth lower your dignity, OI' Let us not forget our G's, Help us speak good English, please. Wednesday was fine day. That was really almost an atonement for the whole Better English Week. Everyone was supposed to bring pennies to school, and to pay 1 cent for each grammatical error he made. All the proceeds went to the Athletic Association. Any person hearing a grammatical error was licensed to collect the fee, and each was then supposed to turn it over to the Athletic fund. For the most part the pupils showed themselves good sports and paid up well. Per- sonal witnesses were found who claim that even Mr. Dutter lost at least 3 cents that day. Thursday morning we had a short Better English program. Stu- dents representing various foreigners from different walks of life, told of their experiences, and especially of the detriment their ignorance of English had been to them. There were given also a number of talks and papers on the subject of Better American Speech. The High School sang original songs composed by students and set to well-known tunes. This was sung to the tune of Yankee Doodle : We must be careful of our speech Or we shall suffer for itg Of all the things our teachers teach, Good English, we adore it. Do not say aint, or this here Sound your endings clearly, If d G's I fea you rop your , r You'll Hunk in English yearly. This to the tune of Help It On : There's a chance for good English, help it on, There's a chance for good English, help it on, Next Tuesday is the day, When our pennies we must pay, There's a chance for good English, help it on, on, on. The Better American Speech movement should become universally popular among American people. Poor English at once puts one out of the class of those who possess education, refinement and culture. Indeed, it is much as Adeline Concetto, our cub reporter, very aptly puts it in an article entitled, The Slacker. She says: Fellow Americans: Our country is the 'land of the free and the home of the brave! This means that our country is the land of patriots. A patriot is the opposite of a slacker. What is a slacker? The greatest slacker is not the man who sells his vote, nor the worm who cheats on his income-tax report, nor the fellow who sells 'moonshinef nor the bolshevist who keeps his mouth always open. The greatest slacker is the man who cannot or will not speak the American language correctly. 68 THE BLAST 1921 Why is he the greatest slacker? Because he is not helping to make the American language the greatest language spoken on earth. He is attempting to murder the American language. Our language is a symbol of our country just as our flag is. It is as great a crime to mis- use the American language as it is to misuse the flag. Moreover, misuse of the American language is a detriment in every line of work. Every true patriot aims to advance. If one hinders his chances of advancement, he hinders the chances of his children. He gives a poor example to his children. He gives a poor example to the community. What must the poor foreigners who are attempting to learn our language think of us, if we, the natives, cannot talk good English? We believe that every alien who adopts our land, should learn to speak our language. Let us learn it first. If you want to be an American in thought and deed, be an American in speech. Only thus can you be a patriot. Better English Ditties Invest in good English, It always pays wellg It helps you to labor, It helps you to sell All the knowledge contained In your brain, brawn and strength, And aids your continued Advancement, at length. Helen Watson. I met a little Isn't man, Who wandered in the snow. I asked him whence his woes began And why he did not grow.

WHAT HAPPENED T0 JONES 1Behind the Scenesj None of us went to school on the afternoon of that last day, which is always so full of pleasant excitement for amateur actors. We were going to give a combination dress rehearsal and matinee for the grade children. We all went over to the hall. Soon Mrs. Haig appeared, and started things going. I think that I can voice the sentiments of all those who were engaged in play work in high school, that Mrs. Haig is the best play director who has appeared in Greenway in recent years. She is the least crabby, and the most efficient and thorough. If we may judge by the favorable comment of local critics, her plays have a finish that is unusual in amateur performances. She started to work without wasting any time. That lamp shade is good. Let's see, the cord won't reach. Do any of you know where we can get an extension? Run over and see at the school house, will you, please, Harold Bither? Let's see, now, Harold Nordstrom, have you that derby that you can punch down for the first act?i Forgot it? Well, you'll have to run home and get it. O, Merton and Francis, you should have stiff white collars,-I guess I forgot to tell you before. That's too bad. lYes, probably you better. Hurry back, though, because you must dress yet. How about your hair, Jean? --All right, that's fine. Ruth! O, Ruth! Have you the box for your clothes? --And so it went. The first ones back had another set of small, but vital errands. And then for getting dressed. Suddenly from the stage, behind the front curtain, burst forth, Look at Helma! Oh, isn't Ruth killing! Hello, Stockholm. Gee, some make-up. Say, you know these fancy socks of mine uv got no feet in 'em. I hope they don't pull out from my shoes while I'm on the stage. From the boys' dressing room came various remarks. Hello, Kermg you just getting here? It's about time. Aw, shut the door, you poor yap. , Better take a compass into those gaiters with you, Whalen! You're likely to get lost. Yeah, that darn outfitting company sent the pants so small I can't button the top button, and the gaiters so big I could fasten them on with suspenders! When we were all made up, and had received the Q. T. admonition from Mrs. Haig, we wandered around admiring each other's new-found beauty. Gee, she made you look healthy, Bitherf' Say, where's a book? I just know I'll forget everything, came nervously from another direction. All right, Harold, up with the curtain, Mrs. Haig finally directed. 1921 THE BLAST 71 Soon Edna, the iirst one to come back from the front lines, met us triumphantly. The worst was overg we had met the audience, and they were ours. How the play took is very well told by Isabel Hodgins, who saw it from the other side of the footlights. She says: As I stood outside the door of the auditorium watching the people filing out, I was aware of a look of supreme satisfaction on all faces. People who were wont to criticise looked well pleasedg high school seniors, who were almost invariably bored with anything and everything, came out looking well content: juniors filed past with pride written on their countenances. In fact, it was perfectly evident that the eve- ning's entertainment had proved a great success. What was it? Why, they had all found out 'What Happened to Jones! Minstrel Show City Hall. . .

It included this year two one-act plays with musical specialties. The Maker of Dreams is a light French fantasy of unusual charm. The 19th century English farce, Lend Me Five Shillings, is interesting not only because of its humorous and clever action, but also because of its atmosphere and effective costuming. Between the plays quaint songs were presented by Alyce Scannell and Myrtle Goulet, as- sisted by a chorus of Senior girls. The class song and yell concluded the performance. These two unique and interesting little plays were given with an artistic interpretation and a realism of atmosphere that reflect the greatest credit upon the Senior advisor, Mr. Dodds, who has demon- strated on numberless occasions during the year his versatile talents as well as his generous support of all school activities.

The spectator was transported to the picturesque and charming atmosphere of the Hawaiian Islands with their foliage, fiowers, pretty girls, music and thrilling pirates thrown in for excitement. V The individual soloists showed not only musical, but dramatic ability. The choruses were lively and clever in their support. The orchestra did splendid work, showing real skill in accompanying.

The football season was the most successful year's playing ever witnessed in Greenway High School. We are all proud of the season's record. An exceptionally large squad was out for the team this year and all worked hard, but the success of the season is due to the coach- ing of Mr. Miner and Mr. Dutter, who turned out a fighting team this season. Although light, the fellows fought hard against the much heavier teams encountered. Four team men will leave school in the spring-Tregillis, Erlandson, Fisher and DeSliaw-but there is ma- terial to fill their places and a state championship team is expected in 1921. The team of 1920 started the season with the decisive victory of 32-7 over our old rivals, Grand Rapids. The next game was with Hibbing, where after a continual fight for supremacy from the first minute till the last we lost, the score being 20-0. Concerning this game, we quote from the Hibbing Daily News, whose sporting editor complimented us as follows: Despite the fact that Hibbing defeated Greenway, 20 to 0, yesterday, this story is a story of a defeat, not a victory. Hibbing won a football game, but it was not a victory-rather, it was a vic- tory for Greenway, whom Hibbing defeated last year 102 to 0. 0 Hibbing had to use all it had held in reserve to win from the boys, 10 pounds lighter to a man. Had Hibbing held to the in- tention of using nothing but straight football. undoubtedly Green- way would have walked off the field with the long end of the score. Greenway was in condition, its players had the fundamentals of football right at their finger tips. They tackled and tackled hard-twice as hard as Hibbing players. Greenway's line play was superior-much superior, and it was surer in handling the ball. - ' The next game was a soccer football game with Keewatin, at Keewatin, which ended with Greenway on the long end of a 5.-0 score. The following Tuesday after school, Keewatin was defeated 2-1 on our home grounds. Almost entirely second-team men were used in this game. The next Saturday we played Virginia at Coleraine. and went through their lines like water through a sieve, to the tune of 94-0. The next game was the greatest game of the season, the supreme test. We played Cloquet, whose team averaged 170 pounds to our average of 135 pounds. The ground was frozen hardy consequently we should be excused for knocking out a few of their baby hippos. We left the field with a 20-0 victory. The last game of the season came the next Tuesday. Owing to rain we were unable to practice on Monday. Our sore, stiff-jointed team managed to nose Grand Rapids out by a 7-0 score.

THE BLAST 1921 EDQICLJXLLJE- CDCSJJ 1 921 THE BLAST 87 Basketball , This school has played basketball the last three years, only. We have as yet produced no champions, but we believe we have good ma- terial in the school now, and hope bright things for the future. Three men from the squad will graduate this year-Fisher, Tregillis and DeShaw. Following is a basketball poem by Gertrude Bennetts: Our Basketball Team In dear old Greenway High, While basketball held sway, A team of conquering youths Showed us their skill in play. Perhaps you wonder who they were And how each helped the fray, So I'll just try my very best Their merits to portray. Now first came big Bill Fisher A whirlwind sure was he, as Center on the Greenway team His equal you'll not see. Next came DeShaw and Frenchy With pep all brimming o'er, As valiant guards 'twas plainly seen They helped roll up the score. Likewise our lively forwards Did help to spread our fame So Dery-also Medved, And Dawe, too, we acclaim. And rest assured. these forwards Aimed not to lose a game, For Basket-Basket-Basket Was their true middle name. Then next in line came Clifford With Trigs, Pelletier and Lowe. All of these speedy noble youths Were always on the go. So be ready now all-one, two, three- Le-t's cheer them to the skyig A team so brave, so fast, so true, The pride of Greenway High. THE BLAST 1921 4 4 i + 1 CAboveD Seccnd High School Team Clie-lowj Junior Team-Class Champions 1921 THE BLAST Track The general advancement of athletics at Greenway is marked by the adoption of track work in the spring of 1921. As we learned in the case of football, it is impossible to turn out winning teams during the first few years of the game's adoption. Time must be given for the development of the new material. The present squad is necessarily small, but increases in size with the passing of every week. No brilliant stars have been unearthed yet, but several of the men are showing more than average ability, while many others give promise of future de- velopment. An inter-class Cross Country run was held on May 11, with the Freshmen winning with 21 pointsg Juniors second, Seniors third, ,and Sopho- mores fourth, time 23 minutes, 55 seconds. Pat- naude finished first in 22 minutes, 25 seconds, Mehelich second, Carlson third and Tregillis fourth. There were 28 entries. A silver loving cup was awarded the winning class. The Range Track meet was held at Eveleth May 14. Eleven of our boys entered and made a creditable showing. We hope to send a better team next year. 4 The County Track meet was held at Grand Rapids May 21. Sixteen entries were made, and with such a showing that track at Greenway will be looked forward to as one of the major sports. The following helped make Track for Greenway: Patnaude, Dery, Dawe, Tregillis, C. Mehelich, Middleton, Seaman, Lowe, Carlson, Bunnell, Mattila, Oas, Erlandson, Rydberg, Kin- ter, Cashen. On June 4th a school district grade track meet was held at Coleraine, with representatives from all the schools. A fine showing was made. Let us hope that this year will be the be- ginning of track for the development of better teams to represent Greenway. 90 THE BLAST 1921 'fd ,,.... Out of the Past 1921 THE BLAST 91 Out of the Past In the spring of 1919 Greenway had an A-1 baseball team. Though the team was not organized until late, by stiff practice under Coach Miner, they held the well trained Virginia team to a 7-1 score at Vir- ginia, and a 7-4 score on the home battle field. In the fall of 1919 our team was made up entirely of green ma- terial. This team played three games. Though beaten each time, the fellows learned the game and broke up the season with prophesies for the next year, which certainly were well fulfilled. I Baseball Season of '21 Baseball was revived this year from 1919. A large squad of ex- cellent material was out, and Greenway was represented by a good team, even though baseball weather seemed slow about coming to this land of snow and rock. The lineup was as follows: Catchers-Seaman, Dawe. Pitchers-Dery, Middleton. First Base-Dawe, Patnaude, Perrier. Second Base-DeShaw, Rydberg. Third Base-Tok, Lowe. Right Field--Dery, Middleton. Left Field-Carlson, Rydberg. Center Field--Tok, Tregillis. Substitutes--Demarais, Seguin, Whalen. Shakespeare on Baseball I will go root-- Richard III.

YY 1 921 THE BLAST 93 Girls' Athletics Though Greenway has had girls' athletics for only three years a great deal of interest has been shown and great strides taken toward more and better athletics for Greenway. The basketball season '20-'21 was especially successful. There was a lot of good material out for the team. As a result Greenway had a good girls' team. Only two members of this year's team graduate: they are Margaret McGrath and Vivian Franti. In view of this and the fact that there is good material to fill their places, we expect Green- way to capture not only the Range Championship, but also the State Championship. In one of the hardest fought games ever seen, Greenway took the Championship away from Proctor after three ties. The final score was 18-22. ' The games of the season and their scores are as follows: Opponents Greenway Proctor --. ............ . .............. 8 17 Nashwauk --- -- 5 28 Proctor' ..... -- 21 9 Nashwauk --- -- 4 14 Proctor --.-- -- 18 22 Olcott .............................. 1 34 The lineup for the team: Forwards-Allie Koski, Helen Larson, Vivian Kinter. Guards-Vivian Franti Ccaptaini, Amelia Derzai, Margaret Smith. Centers-Margaret McGrath, Zenya Raisanen, Iva Bell. Although basketball seems to be the most important feature of girls' athletics at the present time, we hope that the time will come very soon when other forms will be just as important. In the years 1919 and 1920 girls took part in Track, Volley Ball, Tennis and Baseball. On Field Day, May 4, 1921, the girls participated in tugs of war, relay races and a 50-yard dash. The Seniors, the heavy weights of the school, pulled each of the other classes over the line in the tug of war. A banner was awarded the Senior girls with 'their names upon it as follows: Vivian Franti, Beatrice Chesebro, Mary Derzai, Lavona Jasper, Margaret McGrath, Hilda Rydberg, Bernice Bergstrom, Jean MacGeorge, Helmi Norgord, Isabel Hodgins. In 5h.e relay race the Freshmen carried off the honors. The hon- orary members were Vivian Kinter, Anna Adlesich, Irene Lynn and Anna Tok. A challenge for a 50-yard dash was made. The winners who ac- cepted the challenge were Vivian Kinter, Mildred Kukas, Anna Adles- ich, Iva Bell. 4 g THE BLAST 1921 M695 . 1921 THE BLAST 95 EEIIIIIETY 9324 ,IN 'fx 5 KQMM ff! f' -K X K lf! f 9453?

THE BLAST 1912 9 909 1921 THE BLAST 97 The Social Department The Freshman Initiation The Freshman Class was initiated shortly after the beginning of the school year. On the appointed evening they were first introduced to the faculty and upper classmeng then Mr. Dodds rang a mysterious bell which called the All Supreme Court of the spiritual universe. The members of the Freshman class were brought, one by one, to Chief Justice Paul Lowe, who carefully cross-examined them. If found guilty of any oifense they were turned over to the expert facial decorator, Oliver Cedarstrom, who administered his powerful lotion, which in- stantaneously changed them into grotesque-looking figures. They were then given the oath of allegiance to Greenway. After this oatih was repeated correctly, the victims were dismissed, to be warmly welcomed by the upper classmen. After a few remarks by Professor Dutter and Mr. Dodds a grand march was formed. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. FOOTBALL ENTERTAINMENT Shortly after the close of our eventful football season, Mr. Dutter gave the squad a full evening of pleasure. A 6 o'clock dinner was served in the Domestic Science Department by the squads' favorite ladies, after which they were taken to the movies by the same esteemed friends, and later escorted to the Village Hall, where an all school dancing party was held. Here the boys were presented with inagnih- cent headpieces by the girls. Each member gave a short speech. Danc- ing followed. CARLETON GLEE CLUB ENTERTAINED After the Carleton Glee Club concert, the college men and the Senior Class were entertained by the faculty in the school auditorium. An appetizing luncheon was prepared by the members of the faculty, Professor Dutter playing the role of chief cook. The Glee Club con- tributed as their share of the entertainment several well-chosen selec- tions. BASKETBALL PARTIES The Proctor and Keewatin basketball games between the girls' and boys' teams respectively, were followed by most enjoyable dancing par- ties in the Bovey Gym. The Proctor girls were entertained a second time by our girls' team after the March 11 game. Luncheon was served in our Domestic'Science Department. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. The double game between the boys' and girls' teams of Nashwauk and Greenway was celebrated by a rather elaborate spread and dance for the four teams.
