FRESHMAN CLASS In the fall of 19318 the freshmen class was initiated by the Sophomores into the realms of higher learning. We shall soon lbe closi-ng the doors of what we feel has been a happy and busy: year. We appreciate the friendliness and help given to us by the upper classmen and, as 8 group of freshmen, hope that we too, may follow the example of the present year's gradu-ating,class in keeping up the high honors of the school both in scholarship and. extra curricular activities. -Norma Ydstie. RAGE FOURTEEN SCHOOL BAND Toward Spring our minds began to turn to the music contests. Music has played an important part in our Hi-gh School careers and- along with the co- operation of our diirector, Mr. Euren, and. that of the business organizations of the city, it is a great privilege for us to be- long to these musical organizations that have gained such wide recognition. Although there are eleven seniors leav- ing the band- this y-ear, :we are sure they will have just as good a band again next yuear. It seems to be the policy of the band to keep up the good work of those leaving and those 'that have left many years ago. Following are a list of members of the 1939 Band: Clarinet- Lorraine Overmoe Mary Cadlwellqd Mary Lou Hagen Deneze Ludwig ' Eloise Koering Douglas Mergenthal Lois I-Ialvorson 'Gerry Keller -' 'Corrine Waslien Bertha Letnes Bobby Johnson Donald Skogen Betty Ann Swanson Phyllis Olson , Richard: Baglien Trombones- Lyle Henning Richard Johnson Roy Johnston Herman- Lovas Drums- Forrest Johnson Albert Osmon Bass- Leo Gilbertson Milton Waslien Horns- Merle Harstad fChar1otte Paulson Dale Henning Wrai Ballard Alto Clarinet- Eleanor Sarles Basson- Ruth Lovas Oboe- Marcus Tjornhom Flute- Peggy Arnegard Frances Gettys Irene Koering Susan Tjornhom -De-lores Fankhanel Alto Sax- Mary Ellen Sarles Geraldine Kaldor Tenor Sax- Bernice Schwalbe Baritone Sax- Ruth Anderson Baritone- Norbert Auer 'Gene Robinson Gerhard Lovas String Bass- Evelyn Murphy.

Sarles, I. Olerud-. Sixth row-JS. Anderson, R. King, iM. Muller, IF. Johnson, AG. Robinson-. There its something marvel-ous in music. I might almost say it is, in itself, a marvel. Its position is somewhere between the region of thought and that of phenomenag a glimmering medium between mind' and matter, related to both and yet differing from either. Spiritual, and yet requiring rhythm, material, and yet independent of space. All musical people seem to be happy: it is to them the engrossing pursuit: al- most the onlyi innocen-t and unpunished. passion. The mixed chorus has just won the 'District 'Contest at Fargo and is practicing hard for the state icontest at Grand Forks. It is only through the coop-eration. of the pupils and the .good work of Mr. Euren, the director, that the mixed' chorus has 'been a-ble to gain this recognition. xxxv Z Z WW RAGE EIG'I-ITEEN THE PERISPHERE First row-A.

Q f 7 Z Z Z W HAGYE TWENTY-SIX THE PERISPHERE CLASS Taking my magic carpet from the shelf in the closet, my thoughts take me 'back many years, back to High School days, and to my classmates. I-low are the graduates of 1959 plogressing in this day and. age? Seating my- self on my carpet, opening the wind-JW, TII1 sailing through the air determined .to find out where my old pals are. rleies a little scnoolhous-e, its neatness is so atti active. I shall go and peek in .the window. Why! I might have -known it, it is no one but Eloise teaching the little one's their A. B- C.'s Leaving thes school, I spy a man talking to someone out in a field. 'As I come closre, I see it's Ly-nn. He is telling his hired man how to plant the wheat, so that if the grasshoppers will eat the stem, the kernels will still be plump and firm. This farm counry is really interesting. 'What's that squaIbbling I hear in that chicken house? Better not go near there. I'll just go close enough to see who it is. VWell, it's Marcella andrbelores .JSh! Let's he-ar what they're saying. Goodness, -I'm sure I can't help them out- Marcella wants the radio tuned to swing music, she thinks the chickens will lay more eggs listening to that, and Delores thinks classi- cal music would be more satisfactory to the hens. Uh, hum! Floating through the air, again,. I see a great crowd gathered. 'Why it's a football game! Bet- ter see what it's all albout. Probably I'll see some old friends. Theres Tom Kelly, coachlnlg the lads in the 'blue and white uniforms. Who's their opponentscoach? It's -a lbig husky man. I think' I'll go closer so that I' might see who it is. Franklin Skogen, of all people. Well, that is a coincidence- They were captains of the football team when they 'Went to I-iillsboro High. This city seems to be very amazing. This is a cute little bungalow, it's so tidy looking. Look, who's that coming out of the front door? I'd better hide so they -won't see m-e. Here comes a little dog, and who's that holding the lease? Gerry! ' hospitals are good places to look 'for people. I'll take the back entrance into this one. some one is calling Miss Arnegardj' and lo, here comes Peggy. She's a dietician here. Oops! Ex- cuse mei I'm sorrya I was in your way. Whq Evelyn, and here's my old pal,. Phyllis, too. It's great seeing you kids, again. So they did really engage in nursing. 1'd better lbe on my way. Pop, Candy, and Magazines. I Wonder 'who operates this road- s-tand, Tl'rere's a car driving up. Vivian is com- ing out to take- the order and lMarie is in the stand. This is a surprise- VVhat a mignificent city and such a beautiful school. The interior is just gorgeous. I hear a voice, Today we will have a ten-minute speed test. Do my ears deceive me? No, it is Mary PROPHECY Ellen. Hello, what's this? Bulletin-4History in Room 14 today, signed Charlotte fPau1son, in- structress. 'Ihey always were great pals and now they'r-e- teaching together. I think I'll scurry through the business tricks. What's this? fBUTC.H AND 'HECKEUS GROCERY- Those faces in the window look. familiar. You might know, there stands :Arnold and Lyle in their white aprons, with the same mischievous look on their faces that they had when they worked for Ole Evans. Oh, what large- offices they have around here. Who's this gentleman-or is he-sitting with his feet on the desk? Vernon Strand dictating a letter, which is to Ibe sent to the Preslident of Un-itedl States on 'How to Solve the Unemploy- ment Situation to his efficient secretary, Mary Cadwell. I Boy, swing music. VVhat's the emgravement on the music racks? Le-e Gilbert alias Leo Gilbertson and Emogene as his pianist. It is getting late, I'll have to hurry if I want to find the rest of the classmates. I-Iere's a small town-probably someone I know lives here.. A barber shop- Look who are proprietors here- James and Victor. A bill-who's candidate? Vote for Donald Arnegard as Mayor. I always knew Donnie -would get some place with his -politics. Andi here's his office and Helen is his assistant. I must continue on- 'with my journey. What's this friendly little gathering about? The soap box orator is Earl Overm-oe-another candidate for Mayor. You'd never 'dream of two classmates competing for an office, 'would you? California, here I come! What a clever little gasoline station. John Strom, owner.. Well, I don't need' any gas or any of his assistance- Gee, but it's getting dark, but I'm going to continue. I hear soft strains of organ music. It sto-ps, but as I come closer to the church I see Zola leaving the organ and Ralph ascending the pulpit. This must be Los Angeles I'm coming into. S and S Studebacker Company. I look closer and in the office I see two husky gentlemen with fat cigars in their mouths. Darrell and Donald. They have the radio on and- are listening to a ball game- I think I'll listen in, too. We will now turn the mike over to Wallace Os-mon, who will lbring you the game play by play. Another member of our flock gathered in. The Hollywood lights brighten my path for many miles.. There-'s a preview and whose name is in shining lights? Clark 'Gable II -now that Clark 'Gable I has grown old, LeRoy has taken his place-we all knew that he would crash the movies. -- Feeling contented and happy, I'm homefward bound. Even though am-or care to know-I'm glad that I was abl-e to look in-to their lives and find th-em all well and happy.

PAGE TWENTY-EIGHT THE PERISPHERE CLASS HISTORY In September of 1995, forty-two students marched with fast beating hearts into their second lap of their educational jour- ney. When we had somewhat fallen into the routine of school life, we named Peggy Arnegard president, and Helen Slettengren advisor, to guide the class in its new environment, After several weeks of tranquility, the Sophomores gave us the annual initiation. Thirty-four students were at the door to answer Sophomore roll call- Vivian Wilson, Phyllis 1-lolmquist, tLaVerne Matteson joined our ranks. We chose Wallace Osmon president, and Clarence Ellingson advisor to help us through the last half of our school career. We gave the freshmen their initiation party in which we secured our revenge. The rest of the sophomore year lwent the way of all good Sophomore years. The Junior class' presented themselves with a feeling of, confidence and experi- ence to enter the third- year of high school education.. We elected Mary Ellen Sarles to lead us with the assistance of Claire Auman as class advisor. We 'presented our -Class -play -A Bride for -Grandpa, in the Hillsboro 'Armory November 19, 1938. Talent furnished 'by the- -following: John Strom, Mary Sarles, Wallace Osmon, Thomas Kelly, Gerry Keller, fDarrel1 Sorum, Charlotte Paulson, II-Ielen Halvor- son. Early in March we started working on our Junior-Senior Prom.. Our president Mary Sarles appointed the various com- mittees to take charge of the various duties- - - Embarking on the final lap of our high school journey, -we chose as our leader, 'Charlotte Paulson, -who was as- sisted by iClaire Auman our class advisor. After much delay we recovered and be- gan flashing our class rings. The class play, -Douvble Troufble, was presented before a full house in the Gem Theatre. It included an all star cast with such per- formers as Darrell Scrum, Tom Kelly, Mary Sarles, Vernon Strand, lLeRoy Jacobson, 'Gerry Keller, Ruth Lindgren, Evelyn LMurphy, Eloise Koering, Lyle Henning, Charlotte Paulson, 'Emogene And-erson, John Strom. ' As -we gaze 'back at our past four years and think with satisfaction of -our ideals gained and obtained, we regret to have to bidi farewell. 'Finally with the Junior- Senior Prom, Baccalaureate and Gradua- tion, -we shall draw the curtain on our high school career. THE PERISPHERE PAGE TVVENTY-NINE CAN YCJU IMAGINE?
