Alumni Nutrs ifllf the nine students who graduated from Harmony High School in 'J7190'), we are glad to say none has remained idle. Their class motto was, “No Victory Without Labor.” They believe this to be true, to judge from the business like air they carry and the energetic way in which they do their work. Harmony High is proud of them. Their progress thru life will be watched with much interest. Dora Daniels taught a successful term in a rural school near Harmony. Since the close of her school she has entered the Senior History class in the High School. Ethel Daniels has charge of the eighth grade work at I’ine Island, Minnesota. She has been re-elected for the coming year which speaks well for her success there. Clinton Harrison attended the summer school at Minnesota University last summer and is now teaching, successfully, in a district near Henry town. Nettie Larsen is teaching in district No. 4 near Newburgh. She will attend the summer session at the Winona Normal this year to fit herself the better for her work next year. Vida Russell is teaching in Elliota where she is having a successful school, enjoying the best wishes of parents and children alike. Pauline Stenviek taught a fall term of school near Canton, but to be nearer home, has taught during the winter and spring a few miles from Harmony. Allen Stork has entered the University of Minnesota, taking the Academic course. He is a member of the Forum Literary Society and has taken part in several debates in which he has done well. Julius Wolsted taught school in Stirum, N. Dak. Since his school closed he has been engaged in managing his father's farm near that place. Ole Wolsted also entered the Academic course at the University of Minnesota and, we understand, intends to secure a medical education. He is prominent in athletic circles at the ’Varsity, being one of the twirlers on the “U” base ball team this spring. fjuinnrt to prtmt O Spring, fairest of the year. Would that you were ever near, While your babbling brooks go singing. To our memories always bringing. Happy thoughts of times to come, Fishing trips with rod and gun. Solemn winter, dark and drear. Has shrunk away and fled with fear. How charming arsyour merry songs. That are borne to us the whole day long The whole world seems to smile anew, For all is fair and bright with you If you the choice to us would bring, Gladly would we all shout “Spring.” —F. V N.

Athlrtirs 7Khe American people love athletic sports. The participation in them is general, hut to none do they appeal as to the average boy. That the active participation in safe, enjoyable out-door exercises is conducive to better health and fuller development, needs no defence. The loveof outdoor life, the keen interest in the sport, and the competition which is a factor in most athletic contests make this development, also, a matter of great interest. The rules governing high school athletics, debarring as they do all students from taking part in the contests who are not regular students, have greatly improved the tone of the contests among high schools. This is as it should be. The gamis should teach fair play, manliness, consideration for others, as well as cultivate skill. The base ball season of nineteen hundred and five was a very successful one The high school boys, with O. A. Wolsted as captain, won the seven games played with high school teams, and lost, only, the game played with Luther College Second at Decorah. The players and their positions were as follows: O. Wolsted, (captain) pitcher: Julius Wolsted, catcher: Floyd Newell, short stop; Allen Stork, first base; Norval Helle, second base; O. Brokken, third base; Earl Lang, left-field; Teddy Ryan, center-field; and Eugene Hunt, right-field. Indoor Base Bali, During the fall of nineteen hundred and five an indoor base ball team was organized. It proved difficult to arrange for games, so, after a short time, the team disbanded. Foot ball and basket ball teams were not organized. The former, because of lack of ra.aterial, the latter,because of no suitable place in which to play. Base Ball—190H The base ball season of nineteen hundred and six began, as far as talk and interest among the candidates for the team is concerned, early in March. At a meeting the High School Athletic Association decided to organize a base ball team. Norval Helle was elected captain. The following boys determined to try out for positions on the team: Teddy Ryan, O. Brokken, Floyd Newell, Norval Helle, Earl Lang, Gerhard Kaseu, Eugene Hunt, Oscar Larsen. Knute Berg, Philip Hayes, Harris Ellis, Clarence Wolsted, Norrin Nelson and Tillman Brokken. Out of this number of candidates the first seven had played on the high school team before. The rivalry, friendly tho keen, for the remaining positions, was interesting. The boys went to work and practiced with the will and determination that has had, always, a great deal to do with Harmony High’s successes. A schedule of games was arranged in April. It embraced contests with the high school teams of Caledonia, Decorah, Lanesboro, and Rochester.
