TBHIE CAI DDINIAL 1942 C l'u lh .I ADMINISTRATION CLASSES ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS OUR BUSINESS MISCELLANEOUS ■■ ■■ £ During these days of war, a demand exists that the fashions should be changed and streamlined to meet the needs that arise. For instance, accessories for dress were influenced by the symbol of the “V” for victory. In keeping with the times we have decorated our book with a dot and dash design that in the language of the Morse Code spells “We”, our theme. “i4.r This is the year during which the “jitterbugs” were grounded by the cares and worries of a war-time people. It is a time that demands that one keep his feet on the ground and that he spend his efforts in more practical endeavor. But this subdued year has directed our attention to sources of happiness that peaceful times seem to obscure and conceal with the corrosion of that characteristic, “old stuff” attitude. Therefore: The 1942 CARDINAL is garbed in words, and in a dot-dash-dash-dot design of a theme entitled “WE”. This theme includes people who seem to have aged years in the months that war has been declared. An endless number of stories have been printed—a history book full—concerning the events of man’s struggle in national and international conflicts. Too often these news articles have an aging effect that is similar to a vegetative ripening that lacks serious thought. This theme is a discussion of our related position in this world wide struggle. Maybe it places our feet firmly on the ground, but it indirectly raises the question, “Are you playing your individual part in doing your share of the job that “WE” have been assigned to do by time?” HARMONY HIGH SCHOOL Harmony, Minnesota THIS ANNUAL To a man whose friendly personality and warm understanding has endeared him to the hearts of his associates ... to a man whose integrity and patience will always be remembered as we page from cover to cover in our 1942 Cardinal ... to a man who can be a good teacher and advisor and yet not lose the qualities of a friend and pal ... to a man who has in a sincere way found happiness and appreciation in good accomplishment by others ... to a man who finds nearly everything he does a hobby, not a task ... to a man who shapes material things but finds repose in shaping lives of youth ... to a man of good wil I, Joseph Fellegy. • 2.

This year, education in our school has been very business like, and it has been filled with the added spice of various forms of extra curricular endeavor. Maybe the war conditions have been motivating factors, but there is no doubt that most of our inspiration and encouragement came from our faculty. We owe these teachers a debt of gratitude that will enrich as the years pass in the future. Social Science Coach Physical Education Mr. Gordox Addington University of Minnesota, B.S.

In the legislatures, in the Selective Service, in the high-geared production, in the economic systems, and in the education of our youth this theme has been emphasized, studied, and improved. School Board WELL DONE IMPROVED GRADE BUILDING It is with this high calibre administration that America is starting to reshape a position of security in this day of evolution of a world that is assuming a strangeness. This strangeness may be a new kind of democracy that will be universal and lasting. We are proud that in Harmony our schools are improving because of an educational administration that is of this high calibre. I he Board of Education is to lie complimented for its continued improvement of educational facilities in Harmony.

We opened our activities with “Spring Fever”, our senior class play. Donald Applen and Howard Haugerud carefully shaped Rudy Ellis of the stage as a Bolshevik character of exciting interest despite his strong and clever resistance. Professor Bean’s flashlight excursions in the garden in search of Coleopteras and the love scene that Howard and Goldie created for the matinee audience enjoyed the unrestrained laughs and thrills of two large audiences. To a few girls, however, the most memorable action will be the hours of patient labor spent in cleaning the wool rug on which artist’s charcoal had been dropped. On two other occasions the lights of our gymnasium were dimmed, but instead of a play production being the featuring attraction we played with under classmen in a jam session manner. Swing music and light toes softly manufactured the swishing, treading hum of a dancing youth. We had a lot of fun in play, but we also enjoyed our work. Imagine a class with so much money that it had a difficult time deciding what to do with it. That’s the Class of ’42. After quite a lengthy discussion, an agreement was made to donate a considerable sum to help defray expenses of the annual publication, and in a practical manner the remainder was voted to be donated to the Red Cross Relief Fund. In keeping with the fashions of the time, the Class of ’42 elected as its motto “No Victory Without Labor”. The connotation of this motto is warmed by the Red Rose and the crimson and white colors of the Class. War clouds did not completely darken the avenues of a pleasure seeking youth, but they did add a shadiness and a softness that enriched all recreation and academic freedom. This Class has the rare opportunity and privilege of knowing that every member already has been employed to do a job in life. The first and foremost task of each one will be to help turn those dark war clouds around as shining images of peace. But, before the emotional and quivering notes of taps penetrate the stilled air of a peaceful world, these tasks must be done for there will be “No Victory Without Labor”.

No American will soon forget that fateful December 7, 1941, when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in our Hawaiian Islands. Anxious citizens sat by their radios awaiting further developments. Then, on December 8th, Congress declared war on Japan. For a long time we had been on the brink of this world struggle and now we were really in it. The whole nation was soon to feel the restrictions of war. Thousands of factories geared their machines to meet new government contracts; prices began to rise on almost every commodity; Congress worked on price control; tire rationing went into effect; sugar was to be rationed; but the American people did not protest because they knew that it is easier to give up some things now than it would be to give up freedom later. It is into this upset world that the seniors of 1942 enter when they receive their diplomas. What can they look forward to? If the war continues for any great length of time, the boys will be proudly serving in Uncle Sam’s Army, Navy, and Marines. They will become our eager, determined defenders in making the United States the best place in the world for their future homes. The girls will not find it hard to secure work. As more and more men are called into the service more jobs will open for the fairer sex. Already girls are proving that they can work in coveralls. Girls in assembly lines are helping to win this war; girls on the farms, in the offices, and in all other phases of work are doing their jobs well. They are seeing this war come to a victorious end as they stand ready to serve wherever they may along with the men. Graduates of r 942, remember America is your heritage and your hope. You must treat her like a queen because she holds your future. You must help her make this future worth living for. Pray to God that you may help your beloved country be a “nation indivisable with liberty and justice for all”. Vice-President, Harold Holger W or king. We also served. Studying.

Juniors It has been a great year in Harmony High School for the Junior Class. The class play, “Such a Night”, was a part of this good year, that found us working hard to earn some money so that we could work harder to entertain the psuedo-sophisticated seniors at a banquet and prom. All of this work has been a lot of fun because we know that it will be such a night mixing with the upper classmen for the last time as classmates. Among other activities may be listed the Junior Class party for the other high school classes— the portraying of a “big brother” by Bruce in a one act play—the cheer leading of Beryl and Evelyn—the big projects made by the juniors in shop—class members leading the football, basketball, and baseball teams to victory—and other group and individual doings. We have had a great deal of fun, but as we moved along this year we looked ahead at the seniors and we wondered. Maybe fun wasn’t the only thing that we should find in life, but as they are doing we should start to think of more adult ways. It may be envy in knowing that they arc going to start working in a real work world, but at any rate we did think of the responsibilities that are going to be ours more and more. The definite knowledge that we have a job to do in learning well so that we will be better citizens is going to make next year a better year of accomplishment. It will enable us to appreciate even more the freedom to play and work than we have done in the past. It’s a date. • 12 • At work. Lunch time. Officers. N0 gas needed. Any coach's pride.

Sophomores Feeling sorry for the innocent and unsuspecting freshmen the Sophomore Class gave a party in their favor. Dancing, games, refreshments, and other fun were the things of the evening as the neophites of our high school capered along the maple of the gymnasium. Another pleasant memory of this school year was the pleasing accomplishment in speech by Charlyne Quammen. Her first place in the District Contest made us feel proud of a nice pal and classmate. As Charlyne won honors on the maple of the stage, Dick Elliott pivoted, feinted, and scored a big hit on the maple of our basketball floor. In his first year as a regular, Dick scored almost twice as much as any squad member, and he served notice to the neighboring teams of even more promise and scoring ability in the future. In a happy way we could continue to list successful endeavor such as Charley’s being a member of the championship crops team, but we find space to only say that we are thankful for the opportunities afforded us in our high school.

A BOUQUET To the Gustav Berg Post, No. 81 of the American Legion and to their comrades who died in action in the World War I., we offer these sincere lines of rememberance and appreciation. We have read the history of their victory and in the spirit of 1942,—in the spirit of Captain C. Kelly and the new, rising legion of the World War II,—we will help to write the sadly delayed but necessarily happy ending to this chapter of modern times. In our small economies, contributions, patriotic fitness, and—if necessary—in active duty, we will strive to insure forever that peaceful way of democratic life that Americans hold dear.

The girls meet on the first and third Mondays of each month either at the home of one of the members or at the school house. The main objectives of the Club are to buy new books for the library and to encourage more reading. Other annual activities are the preparing of Christmas baskets and the serving of a tea for the Club mothers. The girls find the Club delightfully entertaining as well as educationally helpful. Each member must help serve once a year and she must contribute at least one number to one of the programs. During these evening sessions games are played, songs are sung, and most anything else will enter into the activities of chattering girls. This year, the girls attended the Girls’ Club Convention at Albert Lea. A fine time was had by all during this meeting. Trips such as this one are financed by money earned in Club activities. A food sale, monthly dues, and donations are means of securing the needed money. It has been a nice year of club activity and Miss Truwe, the new Advisor, has helped make this year pleasarft and successful. It is interesting to note that the Club motto is the “Vision of yesterday is the goal for today and the starting point for tomorrow”. How different this world might be if only yesterday we had realized the course of world events and had in a constructive way endeavored to meet them. Officers and Advisor INITIATION This year five new members were accepted by the Club. At the initiation different contests were held such as balloon blowing, cracker eating, and gum chewing. The winners were Karen Elliott and Miss Truwe. Some of the girls sang, danced, and others gave imitations. All new members had to give written and oral book reports as part of their initiation assignment. Get set, Karen. Officers. We're proud of him, too! First Row, Left to Right: H. Haugerud, M.

In the individual competition the highest score was achieved by Raymond Sharp, who was awarded the championship. Congratulations, F.F.A., for a job well done and for adding prominence to our Ag Department’s success. Continuing this fine record that was established last summer, the Crops Team placed second at the Waseca Contest to win a trip to the state contest. All of the ribbons and the trophies that have been awarded to the Harmony Chapter indicate a realization of objectives in Ag that are very practical in these times when food is very important in world activities. During the meetings, the boys have enjoyed the friendship of an advisor who has done a swell job. As the club won awards he carved for himself a higher position in.the Agricultural field. It is indeed writh regrets that we must say “so long” to Mr. Simon, but it is with best wishes for his success and happiness that we conclude our school-time association. We will try to express our appreciation for the fine job that he has done in starting Harmony’s Ag Department, in being a source of precious information on farming, and in being a pleasant friend and teacher.

The Scouts are extending their hands in helping the national defense of our Nation. The collecting of aluminum, selling of paper, and the organizing of a Scout Emergency Patrol are some of the activities in which the Boy Scouts of Harmony have participated. Not only have good Scouts directly participated in helping America and its people, but each one that has lived the Scout Oath and Laws has indirectly made himself better fit to meet other duties that may arise. It is satisfying to know that former Scouts, who are now serving in the Services of America, are better fit to lead their rugged and difficult ways of life, because in Scouting they became acquainted with the demands of weather on dress, with precautions that would insure healthy feet after long hikes, with the practice of making a bed that would be warm under the star-lit ceiling of an outdoor evening, and with the ability to help themselves in unpleasant weather. They have prepared to meet these and other visible problems of a hardy life, but they have also acquired a spirit of cooperation, of respect for other men, of self sacrifice, of determined acceptance of a duty, and of the humble acceptance of a reward for having served well. Above all, these former Scouts, the present Scouts, and the Scouts that will follow will know how to raise their right hands in a snappy salute to the American flag and to pledge allegiance to that liberty for which it stands.

Cardinal Staff Helen Johnson Editor Lois Burkholder Manager Fourteen people had the immediate pleasure of publishing the 1942 Cardinal, but all of us have the satisfaction of knowing that we have cooperated in one way or another to make possible this year book of memories. This year, the staff was divided into groups of writers, business managers, sports editors, and artists who worked under the Editor-in-Chief, Helen Johnson. For the first time, a part of the school day was devoted to annual publication, and each morning some time that was free from studying would be spent on the annual work. A highlight of the time spent in this journalistic endeavor was the lecture on photo-offset printing given by our publisher, Mr. W. A. Fisher. In a detailed and interesting manner he explained the chemical principles involved. It has been a pleasure working together. The work of our Chief Business Manager, Lois Burkholder—Chief Editor, Helen Johnson—Chief Writer, Shirley Olson—Sports Editor, Curtis Morem—and the work of their assistants has been consistent and diligent. It is the wish of this staff that the printed type of the Cardinal be continued and improved by the senior classes that are to follow. Business Managers.

Interesting advice. • 23 • Band NEW UNIFORMS llou frienJs, for your ruppor£ Dreamers say that dreams come true, and Harmony is enjoying the dream of having a band that is dressed in uniforms as a reality. But the acquiring of these uniforms included much work instead of only dreaming. It required the assistance of people who are not directly connected with the band. Saying thank you, friends, is certainly inadequate and we hope that our appreciation will be best expressed in the ability and entertainment provided by our band. Not only has this desire for a well dressed band resulted in brilliant red and white uniforms, but it also initiated the organization of our Band Mothers’ Club. They contributed their efforts and time in raising funds by sponsoring refreshment sales and luncheons. They have not considered this an end in itself, but they are going to continue their Club activities to maintain necessary funds for the upkeep of the uniforms. To the Band Mothers’ Club we say “Hats Off To Thee”! Best of luck and fun in the future! Our band has enjoyed this big improvement, but above all it has helped to improve its general music morale which has added much to the appreciation of the band. As they portray the story of the three bears, the snap of marching marines, the sweetness and catchy rhythm of other tunes, and the patriotic thrill of “The Star Spangled Banner”, we feel and hear an improvement in a young organization that demands our compliments. Behind all of this color in cloth and beauty in music is the patient, friendly, persistent, and forward directing of Mr. Mikelson, our director. We all wish him the best of happiness and success, and we only hope that our continued improvement will be as definite, vigorous, and enjoyable as his work with us has been.

Music is used to arouse in the hearts of Americans their sense of duties, and responsibilities. By our songs we not only convey our feelings to the people of the present, but these songs will live on and on to tell the generations to come of a freedom of generations gone by. Our mixed choruses should be a means of spreading cheerfulness and good-will. Our bi-weekly practices mean more to us than a mere routine of singing. The third week in September found about I 20 students making their voices do sky rockets and nose-dives. We were practicing for those very important tryouts. Fifty students joined the Junior mixed chorus, and sixty students were accepted for the Senior chorus. After three months filled with many hours of long, hard, diligent practice, we made our debut at the Christmas Pageant, “O Holy Night,” on December 18, 1941. Under the capable direction of our new instructor, Miss Elaine Truwe, the Junior chorus sang “Tribute Bring” by Overby. The Senior chorus also directed by Miss Truwe sang three numbers by Christiansen — “Today There Is Ringing,” “Vigil,” and “Lullaby on Christmas Eve.” After the Christmas Holidays we spent our time preparing for the music contest and music festival. Our competition in the contest provided new acquaintanceships and the pleasure of singing with neighboring choral groups. This year, a better than average rating was a satisfying result and a good encouragement for a bigger and better chorus when the notes of tryouts w'ill again pierce the silence of our school.

Girl's Glee Club Brahms wrote his “I.ullaby” as a pleasant, peaceful accomplishment of genius and the Girls’ Glee Club enjoyed the pleasant accomplishment of singing it in the District Music Contest that was held in Chatfield. It is a masterpiece in song and the Club’s rating, the number one letter of the alphabet, ranked the girls as masters of good music. Together, Miss Truwe and the girls have enjoyed high achievement and a wealth of happiness in a first year of association that promises to grow more next year. At the Christmas Pageant, “O’ Holy Night,” the Glee Club contributed nicely to this solemn occasion by singing the “Virgin Slumber Song.” Throughout the year other songs that were old and new added a richness to the extra-curricular life of our school.

Johnson Brotherly opinions. “Spring Fever” With Lynn Fontainne and Alfred Lunt as examples of what to work for, twelve members of the senior class practiced for long hours on “Spring Fever.” For many, it was their first venture into the drama. Capable Director Fetvedt patiently untangled the cobwebs in the student’s acting. Finally the great night came. Then the pseudo-sophisticated seniors paraded around in “play clothes.” Skillfully applied makeup changed them into potential stars of the stage. A thrilling performance, with all the laughs that a comedy such as “Spring Fever can give, threw the audience into gales of uncontrollable laughter. Critics were very favorable to these actors’ and actresses’ venture in dramatics. Compliments passed freely for all concerned. Favorable, too, were the reports from the box office where the receipts were higher than usual. Weary but happy seniors said gqpdbye that night to grease paint, properties, footlights, and stage fright. Members of the cast were Helen Johnson, Adella Kraling, Shirley Olson, Janice Elton, Goldie Bean, Arlone Wahl, Donald Applen, Donald Johnson, Howard Haugerud, Rudy Ellis, Norman Benson, and John Brokken. Senior Class Play Chronic case. Scholastic trouble. Junior Class Play Such a night. • 29 • 66 Such A Night” “Such a Night,” a mystery, was presented by the Harmony High School Juniors to an afternoon and evening audience on Friday, March 20. The action of the entire play took place in the living room of the Sherman home in a small town in the East. The Shermans were a typical American family. Mandy, the Negro servant, had a hard time keeping her husband, I'ncle Joe, out of trouble. L’ncle Joe seemed to become involved in each new problem which so mysteriously appeared in the once peaceful home of Richard Sherman. Threatening notes, gun fire, and disappearance confused the detective brain of Mike McCracken, the shrewd detective. Finally the detective’s assistant, a lady, untangled the cleverly interwoven mystery. The cast of characters included : Richard Sherman. a wealthy banker Margaret Sherman, wife of Richard Sherman John Sherman, a son Elizabeth Sherman, a daughter Henry Atwood, a roommate of John Louise Black, college chum of Elizabeth Glen Hardy, a man on business Mike McCracken, from headquarters Lelia Date, a welcome guest Uncle Joe, a Negro servant Aunt Mandy, his tvife Reflections: A ghost, whose actions spoke louder than his words— between acts the first and second grade Rhythm Band “made music” on their cymbals, bells, tambourines, and sticks—Inez Owen sang a vocal solo—Worrell Erickson played a clarinet solo.

Under the guidance of Mr. Rygg, the advisor, the Club enjoyed a pleasant beginning. The large cross-section of the science classes that are included in its membership indicates an even greater increase in popularity when the Club renews activities, next year. At each meeting a well organized program of scientific interest is presented by groups of members. Included in the programs are experiments in electricity, chemistry, biology, and physics. To say that this related information and the time spent are interesting is not enough. The exercise of one’s curiosity, the fun and work that are involved, and the thinking on ways of life that results make our Science Club a valuable addition to our program of activities. Declamation Maybe we had something to talk about this year, maybe last year’s success in declam encouraged more of it, but we do know that this has been the biggest and most successful year in declamation. Even the number of aspirants topped other years as twenty-one eager, chatting veterans and newcomers started browsing through current literature for worthy things to talk of. It marked the beginning of tedious but happy work and associations with the three coaches, Miss Zimmerhakl, Miss Truwe, and Miss Fctvedt. At the local contest Miss Bancroft of Decorah carefully selected from this exceptional group the three top representatives of Harmony’s speech department. In oratory Bruce llarstad demonstrated fine promise, Char-Iyne Quammen’s interpretive reading indicated a blossoming of more pleasantness, and Shirley Olson’s interpretive reading in the memorized class already served as an exceptional treat. The climax of this memorable FFItltlCVS. year in declamation was our dominating success in the District Contest. Each of our three entries won the highest ratings in their respective divisions. In the final competition at the Regional Contest, Harmony’s entries rated highly in the judges decisions. In the minds of Harmony people, these contestants and their coaches enjoy the compliments of a task well learned and well done. Officers I n teres ting Coaches 30 • ave rr ea H. Hanson M. Jacobson J.

Todd Football In winning three games and losing four games the green Cardinal eleven became a hard hitting team before the season ended, and all indications of spirit and good, hard play at the close of the season point toward a big year in football for Harmony. Next year’s squad will miss the services of M. Jacobson, C. Morem, H. Holger, and N. Benson. The hard driving and heady play of these lettermen will be continued by the returning lettermen. Heading the list of material around which next year’s team will be developed are hard hitting H. Hanson, consistent J. Rostvold, all-opponent end C. Roelofs, and eight other spirited veterans. Already, we feel that the red and white of the gridiron will march across the striped pastures for their share of victories, next fall.

It limits the span of a life, closes a day, and is an ending device. But, in the District No. 1 Tournament that was held at Rushford time not only waited for the Rushford Trojans but actually proved a prolonging device that won the semi-finals game for them. It was another “long count”, a four-minute overtime, that robbed Harmony of a chance to continue a stubborn, brilliant, and aggressive fight for the District title. In losing after the legal time had lapsed Harmony’s Cardinals won for themselves a nice place in the hearts of southeastern Minnesota sport fans. Tom Just’s heady, hard driving style of play plus the steady cooperation of all team mates won’t easily be forgotten. For four quarters and one long overtime period, the Harmony boys led and bewildered a Rushford team that finally found competition of high school calibre that it boasted of not finding in college circles during the regular season. It is this fine performance of Harmony’s well coached team that overshadows a better than average season. Returning next year will be a strong nucleus of determined lettermcn, including Dick Elliott, Clayton Roelofs, Harold Hanson, Tom Just, and Allen Nolte. As General Custer might have said if he were present at this year’s Tournament, “They got our scalps, but we stole their glory!” Rah! Rah! Rah! Cardinals Left to Right: A. .Wolfe, C. Morem, .

B TEAM WON 9 LOST Baseball Prospects Harmony opened its 1942 baseball season with a victory over Canton by the score of eight to six, and the hitting power that was displayed indicates that the Cardinal hats will boom exceptionally hard this year. The steady pitching of C. Fishbaugher, the infielding of A. Nolte, the power drives of H. Holger, and the spirit of the squad make the prospects for this season very promising. • 36 • Intramural . . FUN FOR ALL Usually athletics includes only a few participants and large audiences, but in our new intramural program that has been organized by Mr. Rygg we all participate in basketball, football, baseball, track, archery, ping-pong, boxing, and other games of fun. During the noon hours, a supervised schedule of competition was carried on. Not only did we have fun, but we also learned the fundamentals of these games in an organized way. Free throw champs. Touch football. Boxing. basketball Our Business IT IS AS SIMPLE AS EATIN6 WHOLE WHEAT BREAD INSTEAD OF WHITE BREAD Fortunately, all of the business and professional services that our daily needs require can be had so easily. We seldom hesitate when going on an errand to the store or to have a tooth filled, to question whether we will find available what we want. We travel to a neighboring town but we do not delay the trip when it is nearly mealtime because we assume that meals that will satisfy our tastes will be served in the cafes. Every day we consume a variety of food, wear comfortable clothing, relax in upholstered furniture, manufacture heat from available fuels, enjoy the security of well formulated laws, and have good health that is insured by dependable professional people. But, do we daily, monthly, or even once a year stop to consider the values, the convenience, the interdependence, and the seemingly endless presence of the good that our businessmen, lawyers, dentists, and doctors are giving us ? Too often, we will observe in a place of business a clerk trying to justify and defend not being able to satisfy a customer who is expressing a disgust for not being accommodated at the moment. In many cases we will make a purchase that is backed by only a gullible desire to own something. If this something is not satisfying, the dealer is accused and verbally spanked for having made a poor sale instead of remembering that we made the foolish purchase. Rather than exercising our impatience, we might politely try to help by opening a door for another customer so that the dealer can continue waiting on others. In many other ways our little bits of courtesy and our words of appreciation would encourage our businessmen to continue providing their seemingly ordinary services in a happy manner. If we could see th?se friendly servants of the public as the local cogs in a magnificent and interrelated process of providing America’s needs, we would be proud to accept their daily tasks. In this complex but democratic wav the businessmen acquire and sell to us the goods we need, and in their competition they satisfy our wants in a way that only the wealthy are catered to in other countries. Finally, it is our business to be courteous and friendly consumers but above all to be intelligent consumers. We frequently try to buy a “whatcha-ma-call-it because we cannot specify what we want. Too often, labels that indicate shoddy material are overlooked in the purchase and the dealer is blamed for a lack of understanding. If we would intelligently specify and ask that our wants be satisfied, the businessmen could more easily meet our needs. An understanding of good quality, sufficient quantity, and a justified price would be the means of making intelligent and satisfying purchases. The busi-essman approach would be found on both sides of the counter, and it would be a buying and selling procedure that would be our business. ¥ • ' usi4te eh • 38 “14J, Jl„ Z 'illti 99 “I had the radio on last night.” “How did it fit?” Ed: “While we’re sitting in the moonlight, I’d like to ask you—” Coed: “Yes, dear?” Ed: “If you couldn’t move over.

ODDITIES OF THE A6ES Horace Olson in the first grade had a perfect record for attendance.

Floyd Newell was on the State Championship Baseball Team. The valedictory address by Nettie Larsen was entitled “Silent Influences”. From the minutes of the first annual school meeting held in 1859 we quote: “Resolved, That three months of school shall be held by a qualified male teacher who shall receive not more than twelve dollars a month; said teacher receive what money shall be drawn from the county treasurer as it is available and for the balance (if any) he shall wait until Oct. 1st, 1860, without interest. Said teacher shall board free of charge with the parents or guardians of the children attending school, according to the number of childen sent, and it is further made the duty of parents and guardians, sending children to school, to furnish their children seats and desks and all other necessaries and also to furnish a sufficient amount of wood, free of charge to the district.” NO VICTORY WITHOUT LABOR It is indeed fitting that the Class of 1942 select as its motto the one used by the first graduating class of Harmony High School. Probably at no other time have these words meant as much as they do now. Quoted below are some very striking statements in their relationship to the present world situation despite the fact that they were written by Allen Stork and were printed in the 1905 High School Annual. “All no doubt have been astounded at the marvelous successes of the Japanese. Various reasons may have been assigned for Japan’s uninterrupted series of victories; their courage and bravery; perfection of detail; the intense spirit of patriotism of the entire people. All of these are excellent qualities, hut examine more closely and it will be found that the real cause for Japan’s achievements lies not in these conditions, but in her preparation for this war, a preparation the like of which has never before been recorded in history.” “In comparison with the great toil spent in preparing for these things—for war; to excel in oratory; for political debate—how much more important ought it not be that we should labor in preparation for something of greater importance—that we should prepare for life?” “Man has reached the highest development of living things. Great as is the miracle called Nature, still greater is the wonder called Man. We are placed on a high plane; let us win a true victory by living in a manner worthy of our position. Become a little nearer the “perfect man”. Live a complete life. This is the victory one should win.” r FIRST jRADUATIN j CLASS Llass or 1905, . . of harmony hi h school Clinton Harrison Ole A.
