Janice Michel Irene Diedericks ADVISER Mrs. James McKinney Irvin J. Anderson, Superintendent. Mr. Irvin J. Anderson, superintendent of our school, came to Harmony in 1945. Previously he taught at Murdock, Lake City, and Mantorville, Minnesota. Mr. Anderson was graduated from St. Olaf College and received his M. A. degree from the University of Minnesota. MR. ANDERSON SAYS: This annual is appropriately dedicated to the men in the service of their country. Many graduates and former students of Harmony High School are in the armed forces parade, giving their best to their country. We are all very proud of them as we were proud of their various achievements while they were students. As the parade moves on may they ever keep in step and eventually gain the ultimate goal of peace on earth among men of good will.” Raymond T. Kenney, Principal.

Time-seconds, minutes, hours, days, months—have passed rapidly since the year, 1950-51, began at Harmony High. Crowded into that time have been football, basketball, baseball games, programs, parties, vacations, classes, examinations— and studying. Our Cardinal attempts to portray work and play together and includes a small portion of all the events throughout the year. We present the 51 Cardinal with the hope that in its contents, you will find pleasant memories of friends and events. 3 ftrvv U J2)cdicat icM a u me a?

All year long they topped other classes in honor roll membership. Peter Progner, Dennis Peterson, and Mary Roberts were consistently on the A honor roll. Their first stage appearance for many was in the play, Meet Me In St. Louis , which was well received by its audiences. Marilyn Hovey represented them on the cheerleading squad. Marcia Miller served as junior assistant editor of the yearbook. Donis Hutton was active on the school paper staff. Donis Hutton and Marcia Miller were members of the girls' sextet, and Harold Nelson and Wallace Storhoff of the boys' quartet. Harold made rapid progress on his cornet and appeared in a talent show in which he won. He also starred on the basketball court. Peter Frogner and Sid Brokken were included in the first ten and saw some action. Harold Nelson, Walter Engrav, Robert Sherwin, Gerald Gragert, and Donald Cremer were on the football squad. Robert Sherwin was the only member of our class on the baseball team. Planning for the prom, which was held on May 12, took up a major portion of their class meetings for it was a big event for every junior. The juniors and their guests danced to the music of Henry Burton's orchestra amidst the beautiful setting of Apple Blossom Time”. JUNIORS—First Rou left to right: T. Goldsworthy, V- Khngsheim. E.

Homecoming, which they sponsored, gave them their first taste of a big responsibility. Highlights of this event were the bonfire, coronation of the king and queen, the gridiron clash with the Gophers, and the big dance in the gaily decorated gym to the strains of the Sugar Blues Orchestra. Many sophomores were interested in journalism. Betty Hanson, David Hoiness, and Mary Lyndahl joined the yearbook staff. Sophomore members of the school paper staff included Emma Ellingson, Joyce Griebenow, Ramona Haugerud, Shirley Johnson, Alice McCabe and Janice Michel. Joyce Griebenow and Janice Michel became members of the girls’ sextet. Many sophomores joined senior band, senior chorus and glee club. Janice Michel was pianist for glee club. Betty Hanson, Ramona Haugerud, David Hoiness, Janice Michel, and Mary Lyndahl brought honor to their class by advancing to the sub-district contest in declamation. Joyce Griebenow and Shirley Johnson were members of the one-act play cast. SOPHOMORES first Row, left to right: ]. Michel. B. Gragert, E. Buri, A. Copetnart, J. Griebenow, B. Hanson, M. Lyndahl. E.

X,l imcn For the first few days of their freshman life, they were a bit nervous and somewhat shy—especially those who came from the rural area. Soon they became accustomed to the routine and many members contributed their talents to extra-curricular activities. Four freshmen joined the senior band; namely, Mary Ann Pederson, Ann Armstrong, Norman Haugen, and Jerry Trusty. We are hoping for many more band members from our class before we graduate. Mary Ann Pederson was piano accompanist for some of the musical groups. By the vote of the student body, Verlaine Bestor was elected cheerleader. Milton Bigalk, Jerry Steen, and Jimmie Elton were members of the football and basketball teams and Norman Haugen played basketball. Late in the year, Gerald Easier became a member of the Harmonaires, a new musical group. FRESHMEN—Fir,t Row. left to right: V. Be,lor. At. Rue,ink, At. Pederson C Grant A. Berntng. C. Dtedertchs, At.

C uL With the help of the faculty and students of Harmony, the shyness of being in the high school overcame them. Geraldine Roche and Shirley Klingsheim were members of both junior and senior bands. Almost all of them were members of junior chorus. They ranked very high this year with a number of students being on the A” honor roll and also on the B . Shirley Klingsheim went to the sub-district declam contest with her dramatic reading of God Remembers”. When it came to making a big noise, they had the jump on every class.

Early in the fall, the seventh graders showed that they were not of the shrinking-violet variety, as newcomers often are. They took top honors in junior and senior high school by winning the magazine sales campaign. For their supreme efforts, they were awarded a half-day vacation from school. Extra curricular activities were limited to them, but they showed great interest by joining junior chorus with a large percent of the class represented. Kay Armstrong was in the senior band, and Patricia Buchholtz, Sharon McKinney, and John Young were members of the junior band. GRADE 7—D. Burt. E. Todd. L. Trouten, G. Best or. D. Bergy. S. McKinney.

Part way through, he frowned and said, something sounds funny. The funny sounds came from Donis' French horn. She was playing, His Honor.” Many such humorous incidents took place during band rehearsals which broke into our hard work to give a few seconds of relaxation. The band has been steadily increasing in quality of performance and members. They were a regular part of the school's functions, appearing at every pep meeting and every home athletic contest. One of the highlights of the year was the mid-winter concert in the school auditorium. Another was the music festival at Chatfield. The school is looking for a continuous growth of this organization. Judging from the number of underclassmen and interest in the elementary grades, this can be expected. The aim of the band is to get some instruments in good repair, buy new ones, and add a few uniforms. In the years past the band mothers sponsored the band, but this year the fathers were included in the organization, so they adopted the name of band parents. An auction was put on by the parents' group on February 14. RONALD SCHENCK Band, Geography, Business Law Social Studies SENIOR BAND—left to right: Al. Moretn, C. Pederson. Al. Pederson. D.

JUDITH SCHENCK English, Music, Mathematics All Harmony High School vocal groups were under the able direction of Mrs. Schenck. Mixed chorus, the largest group had fifty-four members, met twice a week and made four public appearances. They were the Christmas program, winter concert, achievement night, and the contest in Chatfield. The boys' glee club, the smallest of the larger groups with twenty-four members met once a week. They sang at the Christmas program and winter concert. The school hopes for greater interest among more boys in singing. Among the singing highlights of the girls' glee club which totaled thirty-two members were the Christmas program, achievement night, and the contest in Chatfield. Making up the sextet were Joyce Griebenow, Juanita Haugerud, Donis Hutton, Janice Michel, Marcia Miller, and Marjorie Morem. The girls sang for Lions Club, district music contest, class plays, and various banquets. Janice, Joyce and Juanita enjoyed their first year in the sextet. Something new was added to the musical groups this year—a boys' quartet. Larry Laugen, Wayne Morem, Harold Nelson and Wally Storhoff were the members. They sang at the Christmas program and appeared over station KDEC Decorah Iowa on a program given by the music department of Harmony High. Students who joined these singing groups gained a wider knowledge of music, the fun of appearing on programs, and close association of students with similar interests.

THE BARGAIN BRIDE The Bargain Bride”, a laugh-rollicking comedy in three acts by Jay Tobias, was presented April 20 by the Senior Class under the direction of Raymond Kenney. The trouble began when Jimmy Smith and Dex Dorner, played by Charles Mosher and Wayne Morem, who shared an apartment, suddenly found themselves in need of wives. Jimmy had sent a slogan to a radio contest, open only to housewives, and signed it Mrs.” James Smith. He received a letter informing him he had won first prize, $5,000, and an employee from the company, Miss Thompkins, played by Geraldine Pederson, would be there that day to present the check to Mrs. James Smith. Dex received a telegram from his Aunt Oma, Barbara Engle, saying that he must marry someone she approves of before midnight or he would lose his inheritance, $15,000. The boys asked their girl friends Cissie Trent, Joyce Alfson, and Wendy Hill, Marjorie Morem, to marry them but the girls refused. Dex then asked Mrs. Fixby, the landlady, acted by Elrayne Ryan, to be his bargain bride , but he decided she was too old for him so he talked Minnie the cook, played by Helen Harstad, into marrying him. Jimmy dressed up as a woman and called himself Daisy Smith. Complications really set in when Cissie's father. Tucker Trent, portrayed by Mylon Harland, fell head over heels” for Daisy. When it was discovered the letter was sent to the wrong person and the real Mrs. James Smith, Juanita Haugerud, finally appeared on the scene. Gilma Anderson as Hosanna Bugg, the negro cook, really caused commotion by blackmailing everyone for something for her trousseau. 36 MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS The junior class of 1951 presented a play of unique costume and setting on November 16th with the staging of Meet Me In St. Louis”, a three-act comedy set in the early 1900's and dramatized from Sally Benson’s book by that title. Action revolves around a middle-class St. Louis family who are contemplating departure from their home city. The younger members of the family, however, have no intention of moving; thus the real action begins. With Janice Lawrence in the role of Tootie”, a bright-eyed youngster and the youngest in the family; and Helen Terbeest in the role of Agnes”, an independent and forthright tomboy, no laughs were lost. The attractive role of Esther, another sister, was played by Marilyn Hovey. Leading roles of Mr. Smith, Mrs. Smith, and 18-year-old Rose were well-played by Donald Cremer, Marcia Miller, and Donis Hutton, respectively. The role of Lon, only son of the Smith household, was portrayed by Peter Frogner. Other male roles in the cast included Grandpa, convincingly played by Dennis Peterson; John, a sincere and friendly fellow, played by Sid Brokken; Fred, a boy smitten with Esther, portrayed by Wallace Storhoff. Two other male roles well played were those of Mr. Dodge and Mr. Duffy, two businessmen, played by Lane Gossman and Jim Hanson. Ronald Trouten was cast in the role of the angry Conductor. Other female roles were those of Katie, the good-natured maid, played by Eileen Kurdlemeier; Ida, a sweet, shy girl in love with Lon, played by Elsie Scheevel; Lucille, the decidedly affected girl from the East, played by Frances Boese; and the fussy, irate, middle-aged Mrs. Waughop, played by Lucille Anderson. Gatling raady for tha act. Pa and Ma With the help of adviser, Mrs. McKinney, the staff, brimful of ideas, got off to an early start with lots of pep and enthusiasm. They chose Harmony on Parade for their theme and decided to work hard to put out a 52-page book with an attractive padded cover. Group pictures were taken by Yorklane of Lanesboro on December 14. On January 4 the seniors went to the studio to have their pictures taken. Casual shots and pictures of small groups were taken by Charles Mosher. Selling Christmas and all-occasion cards brought in quite a bit of revenue which was boosted to the desired amount by the sale of home-made candy and cokes at the Mabel-Harmony game. 38 CARDINAL STAFF—First Row, left to right: C.

Since there was no journalism course in school, students who liked to write signified their interests by coming to the staff meeting in the fall. Through recommendations by English instructions, other writers were found out. It was the staff s objective, under the editorship of Marjorie Morem, to give students a readable picture of everything going on in school through news stories, human interest stories, and features.

Coach Judge” Veglchn did not have much of a nucleus around which to build a team, but they did manage to eke out two victories during the season against five losses. This year’s team, however, did one thing that past Harmony teams have had a hard time doing. That one thing was beating Chatfield. Because it was Harmony's homecoming, the victory was all the more glorious and thrilling. Next year's team will be without the services of hard hitting. Captain Francis Engrav, speedy Jim Johnson, flashy Neil Bremseth, and dependable Wayne Morem. All four seniors played in the backfield. Heading the list of material around which next year’s squad will be developed are Joe McKernan, Dennis Ryan, Lowell Engle, Sid Brokken, Harold Nelson, Donald Cremer, Walter Engrav, and Gerald Gragert.

The outlook for this year's team was not too bright with only three lettermen returning, but the Card came through with a tie for the conference crown and runners-up in the district tournament. Cresco was the first team to fall to Harmony. The score of that game was 42-36. Harmony then trounced Caledonia, Rushford, and Peterson, before bowing to the Preston Bluejays 39-23. This was the last game before Christmas vacation. During vacation, the Cards took an overnight trip to Wisconsin where they played Viroqua and Westby. Here they lost to a strong Viroqua team 46-33, and beat a much smaller Westby team 39-33. Harmony improved a great deal after vacation and won nine in a row. Included in these were the defeat of Mabel which was the sweetest” victory of the year for the Cards, and the Houston slaughter. In the tournament Harmony beat Spring Valley and got revenge on Preston with a 37-34 victory, but lost to Mabel in the tournament finals 39-28. BASKETBALL SCORES ..........
