It is the sincere wish of the staff that this book rmlay be a source of happy reminiscences of the past. ehirulinu To Superintendent Bringgold who came to Hancock four years ago when the present gradu- ating class was entering high school according to the old high school plan, and who initiated the junior and senior high school plan, we re- spectfully dedicate this book of activities of the school year of 1939-1940. Page5 THE OWLITE 1940 BOARD OF EDUCATICDN W. L. Ray, president: C. E, Welsh, directorg Clarence Haldorson, clerk, Verne Thompson, directorg R. G. Cushing, treasurerg Emil Steinbring, directory Supt. H. D. Bringgold-, ex-officio :member The Board of Education is that group of citizens that makes it possible to carry on the activities of the school such as are portrayed in this yearbook. Therefore, much credit should be given this group of men for the success of the school and its program in general as Well as specific instances. The Hancock board has provided two build- ings furnished to meet the needs of modern educational requirements, and the students of the school appreciate and thank them for ex- itending this splendid opportunity to the youth of the community. The smaller of the two buildings pictured, which was constructed in 1912, contains the classrooms for grades one through six. In addi- tion the grade building also houses the com- mercial department and band practice room. In 1921 the high school 'building was built. This provides classrooms for both junior and senior high grades. The industrial arts and home economics departments are in this building also. The gylmnasium-auditorium and the study hall provide adequate space for activities and programs. The high school building contains a. well-equipped library for both buildings. The grounds of the school include tennis courts, a practice ball diamond, a skating rink, Bower gardens, and adequate play space for grade and high school activities. 1 9 4 0 BRINGGOLD, H. D. B. A.

Three Weelcs later they were initiated. The girls wore their dresses backwards while the 'boys wore their shirts back- wards and laced their shoes backwards. Every time they met a senior they had to bow and say Honorable Senior and various other embar- rassing things. Two new mo-vefmlents were started during this eventful year. The six-y-ear high school plan was adopted, requiring twelve credits in the junior high ,school and also twelve in the last three years, the senior high school. One junior high party was given by the class during their first year. The party consisted o-f dancing, with Miss Newstrom, the class adviser, playing the violin and Miss Solomo-nson playing the piano. During this year Donald Domek was the class presidentg Patricia Estensen was vice president: and Betty Blackmun was secretary-treasurer. The following year the class was less timid and very anxious to begin new subjects. Three new members, Irene Allenspach, Loren Rud, and Le Roy Rud, joined the class. During the three years of senior high school, Mr. Loken w class adviser. The class gave a party during ge fall, and the gymnasium was deco-rated with yellow and brown. The new electric phonograph fur- nished music for the party. During this year Donald Domek was presidentg Loren Rud was vice presidentg and Betty Blackmtun was again secretary-treasurer. In the junior year the class came back look- ing forward to all the new activities they would participate in that year. A new student came to the class in November-Rose Ellen McCarthy. In November a party was given in the afternoon with hot dogs and cocoa being served for lunch about .five o'c1ock. The juniors also gave the Christmas party on the last day of classes before Christmas. Late in January the class again gave a dancing party in the industrial arts room While the sophomores were engaged in a skating party on the school rink. Of course, the greatest event of the year for the juniors was the junior play, It Happened in Hollywood. Mr. Helmerl was the director of the play. A large number of juniors had speaking parts in the play while the remainder of the class were on the production staff for the play. Dorothy Slwenson was the student director, and Frank Fiedler was the stage manager. Early in the spring the class ring was chosen. so that the members of the class would have- them when they returned to school in Septemlber as twelfth graders. On May 13 the juniors gave a banquet for' the graduating class and faculty. Ships, anchors an-d fish carried out the navy theme and the senior colors, navy blue and gold. During the dinner the senior will and the junior prophecy' of the seniors was read besides other musical numbers. Eighteen lmvembers of the original class came- back to complete their last year of high school- Two new members of the group were Delbert Giese and Milton Giese, who had gone to Hollo- way high school for three years previously. Many of the class took advantage of the new' commercial course which was offered this year, bookkeeping. Again the class gave the Christmas party in the afternoon, passing out gifts and giving the pupils candy and nuts. In January of this year Miss Waite, the commercial teacher, left Han- cock, and Mr. Heimlerl took over her commercial classes and Miss Swenson took the social studies and girls' physical education.

Each member of the class had an opportunity to be chairman for at least one meeting in order to give everyone the experience of conducting a group discussion or program. Since the seventh graders were new in the high school, their subjects such as home eco- nomics, industrial arts, physical education were of particular interest because they had never spent as much time on these subjects.

This' year' football 'was again' reswmlefd A--in Hancock after many years of absence, but in a differ-ent form. In place of the regular eleven- man team Hancock adopted the popular new six-man football. During the early fall Coach Wartman with the aid of several boys laid out a field on the ball park grounds. A league was formed in which six teams took part-Hancock, Starbuck, Alberta, Clinton, Graceville, and Chokio. Hancock for its first year of six-man football turned in a successful season winning three of seven gamles. Two of these victories were prized ones since they were over teams that had been playing eleven-man football before changing to six-man football teams. Having all new equipment to begin their first year of six-man footb.all the boys have been particularly enthusiastic about the new sport. Practices were held nearly every afternoon for about three hours and on Saturdays. ' Theischedule of games follows: Hancock 26 Graceville 6 Hancock 26 Alberta 32 Hancock 12 Chokio 46 Hancock 18 Starbuck 56 Hancock 26 Hoffman 18 Hancock 19 Clinton 13 Hancock 26 Murdock 43 Of this year's squad only two members are graduating-Donald Domek, quarterback, and Bill Grandjean, end and center. Both of these boys have done outstanding work on the squad, but the major portion of the boys will be back next year. Those who will be on the squad next year from ths year's group will be: Robert Reese, Harold Foss, Bill Fiedler, Jack West, Waldo Thurston, Henry Quasebarth, Donald Thompson, and Donald Fiedler. 1940 THE OWLITE Page22 OVVLS HGOT STAFF Mr. Heimerl Oadviserl, Jane West, Patricia Mecklenburg, C.

The band provides an opportunity for music students and beginners to gain valuable experience in the appreciation of fine music literature. The band lost a number of its best members in the graduation of 1939, but many new mlem- bers have entered this year through the help of the rudiments of music class. Some of the most important performances of the band during the year were: playing at various basketball games, at an assembly ex- change period at Alberta, and for Dr. Elderer's pictures of his trip to Alaska and the North country. FTOTIIJ the original 'band have been form-ed the Little German Band and the Clarinet Quartet.

This year the group wore new costumes at several of their performances. The group par- ticipated in the Christmas program, the minstrel show, and a specialty between acts of the junior play. The group also appeared at several pro- grams outside of school activities. Girls' Trio Although the girls' trio has seldom sung at school programs, they have appeared several times at programs held in the community. Patricia Mecklenburg, first sopranog Helen Cush- ing, second sopranog and Eva Mae Flannigan, alto, comprised the trio. The group sang one number at the minstrel show and probably will sing at commencement or other of the late spring activities. Boys' Chorus The Boys' Chorus is made up of those boys who like to spend their leisure timle singing. The group began their activities early in the fall under the following oflicers: Waldo Thurston ....... president Jack West ..... - - vice president Arthur Campbell - ..... secretary Verne Delp ......... treasurer During the fall picnic season, the boys' and girls' choruses went on a weiner roast and spent the twilight hours singing by the camp fire after the picnic supper. The boys' chorus sang two songs at the junior play, I've Been Working on the Railroad and Now the Day is Over. The group also helped in the production of the minstrel show. They were in the cast of the show and sang Sing Along and On Parade. The first tenors were: William Wente, Ken- neth Osterman, William Sommers. The second tenors: Warren Morton, Verne Delp, Harry Frisbee, Robert Reese. First basses: Jack West, ,Waldo Thurston. Second basses: Arthur Campbell, Junior Sandine. Junior Girls' Quartet The junior high girls' quartet proved to be one of the most successful smtaller musical groups. This group was organized for the min- strel show, in which they sang Can't You I-Lear Me Callin' Caroline. After the minstrel show the group continued working on new songs. One of their favorites was Indian Love Call. Besides their first ap- pearance, they sang at the Alberta exchange program. These ambitious young singers include Ruth Claire Grandjean and Elaine Jacoby, sopranos, and Donna Campbell and Maxine Suhrbier, altos. Boys' Quartet For the first time in a number of years, a boys' quartet was formed with Verne Delp, tenorg Kenneth Osterman, tenorg Arthur Camp- bell, baritone 3 and J ack West, bass. The quartet was not organized until during the winter, there- fore they sang only at the Alberta exchange pro- gram and at the minstrel show. They sang sucl- songs as Ol' Man River and Old Zip Coon which they prepared for the minstrel show. Their performance was successful because the four Worked well together and because they were very dramatic in their singing of these negro songs.

Since this group was so large, the group did not perform as often as some of the snnaller groups. Carinina , one of the favorites of the group, was sung at an assembly program during the fall. The outstanding accomplishment of this group was the production of a black-faced min- strel show which was given under the direction of Miss Utne on February 16. Various other groups helped in the production, but the mixed chorus was the nucleus of the presentation. The songs sung by the mixed chorus for the minstrel show were: Me An' Ma Little Banjo and Mas- sa's in Da' Cold Cold Grounf' Both of these se- lections were sung in true negro style and spirit. The chorus also assisted in the grand Iinale of the sho-W. MIXED OC'I'ET-- .

This year Hancock has enjoyed one of the best and most successful seasons for the past eight years. Through the able coaching of Mr. Wartmxan and the fighting and willing spirit of the team, they came through a schedule which was no easy job considering that District 11 is one of the strongest districts in the state with Breckenridge as state chaimlpions for 1940. On Saturday, December 1, a practice game W8.S held at Benson with the Hancock boys losing by a. close margin-33 to 28. The regular sched- ule was as follows: Hancock 50 Cyrus 6 Hancock 24 St. Mary's 23 Hancock 36 Alberta 27 Hancock 26 Chokio 24 Hancock 17 Morris 32 Hancock 20 Starbwck 26 Hancock 30 Herman 14 Hancock 33 St. Mary's 27 Hancock 21 Alberta 19 Hancick 33 Graceville 19 Hancock 19 Chokio 24 Hancock 33 Cyrus 24 Hancock 29 Sta.rbuck 51 Hancock 31 Gracevilee 25 Hancock 25 Herman 23 Hancock 31 Murdock 29 Climaxing the successful season was the sub-district tournament which was held in the gymnasium building of the West Central School of Agriculture at Morris on March 6, 7, and 8.

After taking Alberta, Hancock played the winner of the other bracket, Starbuck, and lost to the Vikings after a close fought game. Hancock can 1940 --THEOWLITE- Page228 be proud to -be possessor of the runner-up trophy after defeating such strong competition as A1- berta and Morris. Of this year's team there are three lettermen graduating. Donald Domek, Bill Grandjean, and Frank Fiedler will certainly be a great loss to the team next year. Domek has played four years of basketball, being a regular for three years. Last year he was captain of the team, and this year he and Grandjean were co-captains. Be- sides being co--captain Grandjean has played for two years, being an exceptionally good man on tip-in shots beneath the basket. Frank Fiedler also played two years on the regular squad. Al- though these boys are graduating and their spirit will be mtissed at basketball games, the next year's team is expected to be fairly strong With a number of veterans returning. Those returning for next year are Bill Fiedler, Harold Foss, Ben- nie Schmidgall, Waldo- Thurston, Henry Quase- barth, Junior Wiese, Junior Sandine, Jack West, Robert Reese, Robert Giese, and Donald Thomp- son. With such a. group of boys Coach Wartman expects to work up a fairly good team because of the splendid cooperation and team work which most of the boys realize is the basis of a good basketball team. During the seas-on the team! played good, clean, and hard-fought games-Winning 1.2 out of 16 games. This excellent record is the result of the cooperation and stick-to-itness of the boys which Coach Wartman has done a line job of developing in them. The various duties connected with the team were performed by Milo Thompson, the masoot- manager. Mr. Heimierl accompanied the team to all games and kept score and time for nearly all the games. rf.:1':, r- S Y Q N 1 1, tl? x1 -' O' Junior High Tournament Herman was host to the junior high school basketball teams of this district on March 15, following the example which was started by Hancock last spring. Hancock's junior high team drew Tintah for the first game. The juniors came out on top with a score of 22 to 10. Winning this game, the Hancock juniors next played Alberta for the championship. In this game the boys could not get started and lost by the score of 19 to 1 which gave them the runner-up position in the tour- nament. Hermyan juniors rated third place, and Tin- tah rated fourth. Pagezs THE OWLITE 1940 SENIOR PLAY v The Last of the Ruthvens, a mystery play in three acts, was given by the senior class on April 22 under the direction of Mr. Hiemerl. This play gave the experienced group an opportunity to exhibit their dramatic skill after giving a comedy the year before. The students who assisted in the production of the play were: Vera Foss .... Frank Fiedler - Doris Berg - - - - - student director - stage manager - - - - prompter The cast was made up of the following: FTHIICGS BOIIIHLH. - - - - - - Lady Helena Robert Steirrbring - - Verne Delp , - -- Donald Domek - - - - - Grantly - ....

The Stranger Gladys Pearson - - - - The Aparition The play centers around Lady Helena and her son Alan who live in Beresford Manor in England. Rosamond Sylvester, acting as chap- erone to Vicky, Monica and Peggy Cyoung Amer- ican girlsb, is a guest of Lady Helena. Lady Helena is in need of money so she decides to have Alan fall in love with Vicky and marry the Van Dyne millions. Alan agrees and begins his business of trying to win Vicky. Peggy is always wishing for something ex- citing to happen, and it soon does. She gets all the excitemlent she can stand for a long time when the apparition appears on the scene. And still more when a stranger stumzbles in from a. secret passageway. He is bleeding quite badly and is taken care of by the ladies. , There is still more excitement when there is a suicide case and a murder. The play does not end exactly the way the audience wants it to, but because of the variety of characters the cast gained worthwhile experience in acting and pro- ducing a play. 1940 OVVLITE STAFF EDITORIAL STAFF Editor ........

Last year the baseball team, under the tute- lage of Coach Wartman, handicapped by mlany other activities, had a successful season even though they did not win many of their games. There were many capable players to fill places on the team vacated by graduates of the pre- vious year. After Easter vacation Coach Wart- man had the boys warming up and loosening their arms and legs in preparation for the games which were scheduled. The first gamle of the season was played with Alberta on the Hancock Diamond on April 21. The Owls lost to the larg-e team from Alberta. Later another game was played at Alberta. Two games were played with St. Mary's of Morris. Both of these were very -close games. In the final scores, Hancock lost both of th-ese by a. small margin. A game was played with Cyrus at the picnic grounds. This game closed the season. This year, although several players were lost because of graduation, the boys have started indoor practice after Easter looking forward to a fairly successful season. The aim this year is to play enough games during the season to qualify for the championship decision, according to Coach Wartman. The players back this year will be more ex- perienced than last year and therefore should make a better showing against their opponents: Waldo Thurston, Junior Wiese, Bill Grandjean, Benny Schmidgall, Donald Domek, Robert Reese, Bill Fiedler, Harold Foss, and Henry Quasebarth. Besides the experience gained on the high school team of last spring, most of the players on this year's squad also gained experience on the Hancock Junior Ball team, which won all but two games and nearly won the region champion- ship in the tournament held last summer. Games will be played with Cyrus, Alberta, Chokio, and Starbuck as well as other teams near by. Opening the 1940 baseball season, Hancock defeated, the Alberta nine, who were champions last year.
