Qladyce Teedlo 'Z I starlzt nights-and so the school year closes With lt? close we present V x - the senior issue of Humboldt Life. We hope this issue will enclose a record of their years at school, that it will be for them a memory book. Guy Rice and William Kuehn are chiefly responsible for the art work while Ruth Travis and Ethel Skeels helped with the snapshots, From attics were drawn faded and treasured baby pictures. The startling intelligence they reveal excites wonder. A And now for intimate details in the lives of our authors. Frances Erling, a junior and student of the Study Hall, wants with all her heart to go to college. Her pet abomination is shorthand, but she is bent on conquering it, Arnold Koutz confesses to liking to write above all things. As elevator boy eight hours a day, he sees and hears stories. His Adventure Seeking reveals a sympathy for children. Shy Ann Katzowitz is represented by a poem about a neighbor. Ann's eyes sparkle when she talks of going to college: Anyone can amount to so much more if educated, she says. Work of hers has frequently appeared in the Daily News and the Midget. Mary Louise Johnson betrays her interest in world problems in War and Peace. She plans to attend the University of Minnesota, perhaps to major in social service work. Here at Humboldt. she delights in sports. Her favorite subject is mathematics. ' Gladys Beedle expresses the feeling of all of us in her Humboldt At school Gladys has shown that she can hold several jobs at once. As for her work after graduation, she already has several prospects. Before saying good-bye for the year, the Life staff wishes to present its sincerest thanks to all the English teachers for their help in gathering ma- terial. We thank Miss How for the many, many ways in which she has given her time and help to us. Also, to Mr. McKenny we give our appreciation for his wise supervision of the art work for the magazine. The detail work on this number was covered in a large measure by the typists-Jean Kane, Marie Baum, Josephine Hable, Helen Schwandt, Irene Lanoux. and Gladys Beedle. The senior prophecy was compiled by Della Kuehn and Alvin Jarvis, and you will all agree that it neglects no one. Ellen Sommer, June Rom, Catherine Ernst, and Goldie Sagarsky wrote the Class XVill, and Eleanor Pagel wrote the work of the Office Force. The diary, rollicking and all-inclusive, is the work of Lucymae Kent and Catherine Clancy. A complete new set of quotations to attend the pictures of the seniors was compiled by Irene Lanoux and Antoinette Smith. These quotations were taken only from recent American poets. Some thought it an impossible task, but these two overcame the impossible. Carl Bisciglia took care of the senior statistics with the help of Louise Mortinson. . All in the journalism class solicited ads under Edwin Engfer's leadership. and few were not successful. Will you not pay attention to our advertisers who, because of their confidence in us, have inserted their advertisements. It would please us and them to hear you say that you saw their ad in Humboldt Life. Gale Crom upholds the serious purpose of this magazine with her Edi- torial and Do You Remember When. And now Good-bye and Godspeed. Should everyone enjoy all that Humboldt Life wishes for all concerned with Humboldt their lives will be sweet, easy, and merry. Auf wiedersehen.

From the kitchen below, the song of their mother floated softly up to them. Above loomed the attic door, the way to great deeds and remarkable ad- ventures. Sh, cautioned Bobby Redwyn aged seven, to Louise, his younger sister. Don't make any noise. Mama might hear us. The door opened slowly on hinges which protested rustily by loud creaks and squeaks. A musty odor rushed out to meet the childrens as they stood in the doorway staring fearfully into the gloomy shadows. Aw, shucks, said Bobby in a trem- ulous voice, who's fraid? I ain't, declared Louise: however, she did not relinquish her grip on Bob- by's arm. Ten minutes later, their fears for- gotten, the children were struggling with the lid of an old trunk. It opened slow- ly as if it were reluctant to reveal its treasures. The children's eyes sparkled. Oh, lookit the letters! exclaimed Bobby. i'Lots of 'em, chimed in Louise, as she brushed her unruly, curly hair from her face with a brown, chubby hand. Let's play mail man, suggested Bobby. He gathered up several of the sweet scented packets and untied the colored ribbons. Then with Louise be- hind him, he slipped quietly down stairs with a large armful of the letters and went out. A half hour elapsed before they re- turned to the attic empty handed, Evi- dently their roles as mail men had been successful. What's dis? asked Louise, as she squinted into the barrel of a dangerous looking Colt's 4 calibre pistol. Bobby took the weapon from her and looked it over carefully. l'lVlus' be a mouse trap, he decided gravely. See, the mouse sticks his head in here -he indicated the trigger guard- and this thing catches himg he tapped the trigger with a show of extreme intelligence. Oh, said Louise understandingly, as she probed deeper into the trunk. A moment later Bobby straightened up bewilderedly. Whose hair is this? he asked as he held up a bushy wig, relic of some for- gotten play in which their father had taken part. I bet it's daddy's, said Louise, with the picture of her father's bald head in her mind. Yeh, p'raps it is, assented Bobby, as he placed the wig on the floor beside the trunk and treasures. Lookit the later to Louise pair of child's bedroom slippers. He put one on over a bare foot. 'fLook, Louise, it fits! he exclaimed. He drew the other slipper on-then stood up and viewed them as he wig- gled his toes to see what motions he could discern on the softly slippered feet. Suddenly he made a resolution to himself. He took some old clothes from a nail. 'Tm gonna put these on an' play I'm Robumsing Crusof' Aw right, agreed Louise, put 'em on. In a few moments Bobby stood be- fore Louise in a ragged pair of old trousers, the legs of which hung a little below his knees in tattered disorder, and in an old shirt. Now I'm Robum-sing Cruso. You can be my dog. dived deeper into the shoes, he said a bit as he held up an old Page Five HUMBOLDT LIFE Bow wow! barked Louise. Bobby strutted to and fro like a miniature pirate. As he strutted, he suddenly saw the wig. Quickly he put it on. A bushy beard and moustache unfolded and slipped into place,.giving Bobby a little sur- prise and Louise a genuine shock. 'lOh, Bobby, she exclaimed, you look like a li'l ole man! Bobby lingered the beard thought- fully. l'How did this get here? he asked. Daddy ain't lost his whiskers. He strutted up and down and all but stumbled over the pistol. Let's set the trap an' catch a mouse, he suggested as he picked it up. I'll be Robum-sing Cruso catching a bear. Again he examined the pistol. 'Guess you gotta pull that thing back so it'll catch the mouse-I mean bear, he re- marked, referring to the trigger. Louise forgot to be a dog as she watched Bobby's futile attempts to pull the trigger. He held it between his feet and strug- gled with it. He rolled on the floor as he tried. It won't come, but I'll get it yet, he muttered to Louise, who sat by the trunk watching him. He walked all around the attic search- ing for something to pull the trigger with. At last he opened the door. There on the door about four feet from the floor protruded the head of a ten penny nail. Holding the pistol out before him, Bobby placed the trigger guard over the nail. Grasping the handle of the pistol in both hands, he pushed forward with all the strength of his puny body. When Frank Redwyn reached home, his face was so crimson that his wife was alarmed. Why, Frank, she asked, what is the matter? Nothing, but these, he said. He Page Six placed a large handful of letters on the kitchen table. Why, what are they? asked his wife. Mr. Redwyn stared at her a moment in silence: then licking his lips he asked huskily, Don't you recognize them? It was Mrs. Redwyn's turn to blush, I think I do, she said, Hour-our letters. Prank nodded. He looked his wife squarely in the eye, then blushing a deeper red he looked away. The kids passed out a whole parcel of them, he said, passed 'em out to the neighbors. Mrs. Redwyn wanted to laugh. She wanted to cry. She merely sat and looked out of the window. 'AWhere are the kids, now? asked Frank. They've been up in the attic all afternoon, replied Mrs. Redwyn. Frank jumped to his feet. That ex- plains it, he cried: they've opened up that old trunk up there and-- Boom! The roar of a pistol reverberated through the whole house. From somewhere above them came the screams of two children. Frank dashed up the steps four at a time. There, before the attic's open door, hanging on a nail, was his old pistol, smoke still curling from the barrel. Somewhere in the attic the two chil- dren were still screaming. But when Louise, frightened but unharmed, was led forward by a queer little old man who was Bobby, Mr. Redwyn's relief was so great that he sat down on a pile of magazines and laughed. Mrs. Redwyn coming up a second later laughed with him. The children quite brave, now that their parents were with them, found themselves laughing, too. Aside from the fright of the children and some damage from the bullet which HUMBOLDT LIFE had cracked through a window, splin- tered a bird house roof out in the yard and sped its way through the basement window of a neighbors house to shat- ter a bulb, ricochet off the furnace, and smash the lock on the door, little harm was done. The Redwyns decided to call it a day when they built a bonfire of perfumed letters in the back yard that evening. It is said that the local museum has added an old Colt's 45 pistol to its fire arm exhibit, but I haven't had time to see for myself as yet. l Dropping-Dropping LL during the period Mr, Billing had been scolding us for not being quiet. What a noisy study hall this is, he cried over and over again. Time after time he had carried some unfortunate boy's or girl's books up to a front seat, and many unlucky students had been sent to the office on reluctant, dragging feet. Half the period has disappeared and at last, to Mr. Billing's great relief, the study hall had grown quiet. Silence, sweet and golden, reigned. Then-a dreadful thing happened, I heard a crash as of mighty thunder, or as of rumbling rocks in an earthquake, and, coming out of my trance, I dis- covered, to my great horror, that my pearl necklace had broken and that the beads were falling like hail upon the floor. After the first gust they con- tinued to drop, drop, drop, one by one, like undecided icicles slipping from the eaves on a late winter's day, Mortified, I sat in all my shame, alone and friendless under a gigantic, awful battery of eyes which came near- er, then slowly receded. I sat there in the enfolding silence, a silence which may have tried to hide my misery but seemed only a light to make it worse. If only something would happen-any- thing, anything to stop that aching in my heart and that horrible, sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach-and then, O sweet, O dear relief-the bell rang. Lucymae Kent. Nightfall By T ERRENCE HENDRICKSON The Northern pines are whispering sweet and low, As twilight creeps upon the sullen woods, The moon begins to blend its cool grey glow With stars that form the forest's nightly hood. No sound of living beast can now he heard, The moon and stars have lulled them all to rest. A shuflie now and then of restless bird Proves, that they, too, have gone to roost and nest. The wind has gently slowed its daytime speedg And now is but a breath upon the air: The dew drops lightly on each bush and weed: To duplicate this, mankind does not dare. If in your life you have not known all this, It's something I can tell you not to miss. Page Scum HUMBOLDT LIFE Some Folks Study BY FRANCES ERLING R. BILLING, may I go to my locker? Mr. Billing, how do you spell emancipation? Mr. Billing, may I change my seat? Many are the students in Mr. Bill- ing's kingdom, and many are their at- titudes. First there are the studious people. They are absorbed in their tasks, they realize the value of time: they are the perfect students who cast those sneer- ing glances at the noise makers. They are the ones who accomplish things. They get good marks while in school and really know something when they graduate. Another type are those who are al- ways doing some errand for some teacher. They enter and leave the study hall with a look of importance and also much noise. Another set are the dreamers. It is true they leave their books open before them, yes, open, but yet unseen. By some trick they find a multitude of at- tractions outside or in the rear of the study hall. They are usually eaves- droppers on conversations. Mr. Billing, did you find a good Parker pen? Mr. Billing then looks again, as he has many times that day, through a sorry lot of broken fountain pens, worn out overshoes, gloves, and pocket books with a few cents in them. He is very sorry, but nothing like that has been turned in. Yes, he'll let you know if it is. Miss How's visits are also a source of interest to the dreamers. 'lHave you seen Harold Zavotsky? queries Miss How. Mr. Billing sighs as he says No, He fears for the worst. Page Eight W . 4117 ?

These, perhaps, are the reasons for Mr. Billing's weary, haggard look as he trudges out of the school at twenty minutes past two. The pests, I think, may be di- vided into four classes: locker fiends, athletes, interrogators, and those who would study together. The locker fiends spend three-fourths of the period trying to think of some- thing they could possibly get from their private cubby-holes. After they re- ceive permission, as they sometimes do, they wander about in the halls, go to their lockers and get some book, and return to the study hall in about flve minutes. They wonder sometimes why permission to leave is not always granted them. Mr. Billing, I need a pair of tennis, or I can't play in that game tonight. The athletes who need a pair of ten- nis, or perhaps some piece of football equipment, are a source of trouble and interest. They are a trouble to Mr. Billing and an interest to the students. You see, anything to divert attention from books is welcomed 'by those who are not studying but are'lwasting time. Mr. Billing, what's wrong with this sentence? Miss Heinemann told us there was something wrong math it, and it must be so. HUMBOLDT LIFE Mr. Billing then reads a sentence which may run like this: I wish I could run like he. Patiently he explains the error and occasionally is thanked. I can't understand this problem. Will you help me? Then he becomes a teacher of mathe- matics and explains thoroughly a prob- lem whose solution is quite obvious. l'May I get my assignment from Margaret? I wasn't there when it was given. After a while Mr. Billing is obliged to extract that person from her friend's seat and escort her to her own hard wood throne. May we study our shorthand to- gether? Neither of us can get it. Very soon, loud whispering comes from the direction of the huddled shorthand students. After twenty min- utes the huddle breaks up disappears in the direction of the type room. The room is again tranquil as the dreamers go on dreaming, and the stu- dents go on studying. Is it any wonder that the caretaker of Room 200 is becoming gray? Is it any wonder? Our Neighbor Lady BY ANN KATZOVITZ Our neighbor lady, big and fat is she, She sits and talks to women all the day: Between her words, she sips a little tea With one old croney from across the way. The big, fat lady is a gossip strong, All of the slander of the town she knows: She drags a story out to hold you long, Of some young maiden and her many beaux. Our neighbor lady, who quite well can lie, Upon her chair and from her porch, can see Most of the people who are passing by And vows to slander those who from her flee. Oh, Neighbor Lady, with your stories many, Your endless scandal isn't worth one penny. Page Nine HUMBOLDT LIFE War or Peace BY MARY LOUISE JOHNSON Place: The Hague. Time: Present Day. fEnter the World.j World: It has never been definitely decided whether we shall have World Peace or World War. Today is the time to decide that question. I, the World, shall be the judge, and after I have listened to both sides of the ques- tion, I shall give my decision and my reason for deciding the way I do. CGoes up on the small platform in the center of the room and sits down on the thronej World: World War, where are you and your followers? War, do you hear me? War: Yes, World, I do. I am coming. CNoise is heard outsidej World: World Peace, are you near and ready to debate this question with War? Peace: QWith a sweet and musical voice.j Yes, I'm coming, but may I bring all my fellowmen? World: Yes, yes, bring them all. We must have every one here to give his side of the question. CEnter War with Nationalism, Imperialism, Militarism, Famine, Fire, Plague, Death, Misery, Heartache, Heroism, Greed, and High Taxes.j World: Well, well who are all of these? War: These are my followers and fellowmen. This is Nationalism, one of the greatest feelings a nation can have. A nation cannot survive with- out it. A nation is not a success with- out it. Nationalism stands for war when other nations try to boss it. Speak, Nationalism, and tell the World why War is the best thing. CDuring this time Peace has been en- tering with his followers very quietly.j Peace: I have come with all my fol- Page Ten lowers, World. I brought with me the League of Nations, Internationalism, Progress in Literature, Education, Me- chanics, Arts, Music, and Political and Charity Organizations, also Happiness, Unity of Families, and last the World Court. War: Come, come, it's Nationalism's turn to speak, not Peace's turn. Pick out your best man to answer him, Peace. He will have to be the best to refute my statements. Nationalism: Nationalism means de- votion to national interests, or national unity and independence. Every one loves his own country the best. If any other nation tramples on the rights of another, the people of the oppressed nation are always ready to fight for their country. No matter where you go, you will always find Nationalism. What is better than a great love for your coun- try? If your country calls on you to give your life, what more can you do? War is the best way to settle quarrels because it gives the people a chance to show how much they love their coun- try. Internationalism: No, no National- ism, you are wrong. What good is it to kill thousands of people only to have the sharpest of wit, the most cunning, and the strongest win out whether they are right or not. Isn't it much better to have a peaceful meeting of some of the wisest men of the nation? I am Internationalism: I stand for peace and friendship between all the nations of the world. Imperialism: I stand for war be- cause that is the only way of extending the control of a nation. A nation should be large, powerful, with vast colonies to rank among the Hrst nations of the world. Isn't that the aim of every nation? Now that there is no HUMBOLDT LIFE new land in the world that the nations can claim as colonies, there is bound to be war to see who will govern and re- ceive the profits from the backward countries. There will always be some nations which are stronger than others, and they will try to force their influence on the weaker nations: thus there will always be war. I, Imperialism, stand for war. League of Nations: I am an organ- ization which has been formed to help weaker nations, when they are op- pressed. The stronger nations will learn that Imperialism has passed away with the last generation. I, The League of Nations, will care for and protect the weak, and soon nations will not try to press their influence upon another coun- try. I solve your problem, Imperialism. Militarism: My problem will never be solved. I am Militarism. I stand for war, because war demands a large army and navy. No nation will ever come to the front ranks without these. No nation has come to rank first that hasnit had military virtues and ideas. Militarism and war go hand in hand. World Court: You, too, are fooled. I will settle all questions and arguments if the nations bring them to me. Many famous lawyers, politicians, and diplo- mats serve and have served on my benches. You will pass with Imperial- ism, when I receive the support of the world. World: War, have you any more followers to speak for you? War: Yes, Heroism. Heroism: Think, World, think of the wonderful chance to become a hero and to earn medals in a war. Man cannot show his real self until he is made to face a crisis and the guns of the front line trenches. Many men who claim to be brave are brave, until they have to go to war. That is the place where the true character of a man is shown. Peace: But the real men are the ones who can agree and who do their best to keep their country out of war. Men can prove their character better in times of peace than in times of war. World: War, have you any more to say? War: No, you have heard all my arguments and you have also heard Peace's weak little answers about what he is going to do. Ha Hal Make your decision quickly. Peace may become im- patient. World: You say you have nothing more to say? Then who are the rest of this company? ' War: Clsooking. at Fire, Famine, etc.j Those? Oh, they're nothing. Just forget them. Peace: No, World. You have called us together today to hear everybody's point of view. I pray you, World, hear from these also. War: See, Peace knows she is losing. Come, give your decision. World: No, we shall hear them all. We came together today to hear all. Speak, you-I do not know your names-and tell us what you think. Famine, Fire, etc.: We are feach one steps forward and gives his namej Famine, Fire, Plague, Death, Misery, Heartache. Greed. and High Taxes. CNationalism turns and points to them as they speak their namej, Imperialism and War cannot escape us. We are after him wherever he goes. He is ashamed of us and tries to keep us in the background so the World will for- get about us and just think of the glories of war. Progress in Science, etc.: They are the results of war. We are the re- sults of peace. Our names are Cstepping forwardj Progress in Science, Progress in Literature, Education, Mechanics. Arts, Music, Political and Charity Or- ganizations, Happiness, and Unity of Familiesj. The results of Peace are far more beneficial than those of war. World: At last we have heard from everybody. My decision is the follow- CContinued on Page 493 Page Eleven HUMBOLDT LIFE Out ofthe Grab Bag CWherein Seniors Diuulge Unforget- table Euentsj Third Hour URING third hour I spend my time in Miss Sherman's room. Miss Sherman has a class to be proud of, for there are only three girls in the room. Besides having this great advan- tage, the class is honored by the pres- ence of some exceptional students of economics. Among these are Emerald Thomas, whose abilities have increased admirably since going to the C. M. T. C. camp: Allen Van, the boy won- der: and John Bell, the child prodigy.

One morning when she ar- rived late from a teachers' meeting Miss Sherman found Ward Conklin's Ford parked upon her doorstep. Another time all the erasers were missing, to be found later outside the window. A few practical jokers decided to fool the rest of the class. On a bright morning five boys arrived before the rest of the pupils. Making believe the door was locked, they had the rest of the students clustered around waiting for someone to unlock the door. The bell rang, and Miss Sherman came to the door to see what was detaining her class. The upshot of that joke was that the class had to take a test. Although Miss Sherman has a great deal of trouble with her third hour, I think she enjoys it as much as we do. Frank Haskell. Page Twelve The Wages of Sin HE scene of this little episode in my Humboldt life is the cottage under the reign of Miss Burns. The time is a day during the first term of l929, my sophomore year. I had en- rolled in Cwirls' Glee Club. Miss Burns was explaining something in minute de- tail. Ah, thought I, Unow is my chance to answer that note I received last pe- riod. I drew out a small piece of paper and industriously began writing. I had completely forgotten that there was a teacher in the room who was trying her best to make the girls understand the musical topic under discussion. Sud- denly Miss Burns stopped her explana- tion and remained quiet. I saw her looking at me, and it was then that I remembered I should be listening to her instead of writing a note. But, too late--, We shall omit the ensuing conversa- tion and skip to the climax which oc- curred when Miss Burns took my note, a very personal one, and threatened to read it to the class. To my great re- lief, she didn't carry out her threat. As the period dragged on, I made my greatest possible mental effort to learn of a way by which I might re- gain that small piece of paper resting so peacefully in Miss Burns' pocket. Before a decision was reached, the bell rang. I would recover my note then or never. Bravely I went up to the desk and pleaded for its return. After a solemn promise on my part to the effect that no more notes would be written in class, Miss Burns kindly tore my note into pieces. I drew a deep breath and departed from the room with the reali- zation that life was good after all. Vera Braun. HUMBOLDT LIFE Moral Appended T is a well-known fact that each of us, either fortunately or other- wise, possesses a dual personality. The weakest spot in my make-up is an in- satiable curiosity-like the monkey who wants to see all and hear all. It was this-shall I say weakness, that brought about my downfall. Please take Udown- fall literally. Since the lowest form of intelligence is looking at pictures, you may explain, as you will, my desire to see Marjory Vining's graduation picture during a quiet interim in the sixth period study. Mr. Billing, who usually tries to be so accommodating, would not turn around or leave the Sacred Sanctum of Study in an attempt to round up a few who are seized with Wanderlust. Finally, some basketball hero at- tracted Mr. Billings attention with the astonishing fact that he had found his jersey. At last a clear path for me. Success! I gazed on Marjory's entranc- ing dimples with the proper degree of enthusiasm. Somebody very obliging- ly just then asked Mr. Billing if he might go to the Library to get a Liter- ary Digest CSpice of Lifej. Aha, a clear aisle back, too.

As great an obstacle as confronted the Spartans at the pass of Thermopylae stood be- tween me and my seat- namely, Emerald Thomas' foot. I tripped, and if a dirigible had crashed into the roof, the crash it made would have been a mere squeak in comparison with mine as I hurriedly descended to become bet- ter acquainted with the floor. Such illustrious men as Chaucer, Caesar, and Milton were deserted in my behalf.

Excitement UMBOLDT was to play Me- chanic Arts High School January 9, 1930, in the opening game of the basketball conference, a school they had not beaten in ten years. Humboldt was considered a dark horse in the year's race while Mechanics, as state champion the previous year, was pre-season fa- vorite. There were hopes in our tribe and everyone knew Humboldt would fight to win. The day of the game ar- rived and Humboldt had sold more tickets than ever before. That meant a crowd and excitement. Gloom entered the camp when Zovatsky, Humboldt regular forward. was declared out of the game with an infected foot. Yet we still had the do or die spirit. The Macalester gym was packed when both teams came out on the floor. Humboldt came out in a slow, delib- erate walk. Who said we would be nervous? At the end of the first quarter Hum- boldt was losing 8-2. Though six points are a great deal in a basketball game. one quarter doesn't make a full game. Humboldt hit her stride in the second quarter and came within striking distance of Mechanics. A short rest, and the teams went out on the floor again. Mechanics made a fewe substitutions but Humboldt Page Thirteen HUMBOLDT LIFE couldn't: only five men were eligible for the game. The third quarter was fast and furious and found Humboldt in the lead for the lirst time, 17-15. Humboldt had the job of keeping that lead. 'The iron five were beginning to crack. It would be only a matter of a few minutes before they would col- lapse. The last quarter was fast. Humboldt was leading 21-17 with about two minutes to go. Mechanics made a basket, and both schools were going wild. Mechanics rained shots at our basket, but luckily they didn't go in. The whistle marking the end of the game was not heard by any of the players, because of the huge cheer by Humboldt rooters. The iron live had wong they had to be helped to their locker room. They were worn out and so happy, they cried. Coach McMann was carried around the gym and heaped with congratulations. Thus ended my most exciting day at Humboldt. Herman Firestone. Behind the Scenes UST let me tell you, folks, sez I, you're missing a bigger and better show when you miss what goes on back stage. O-ho! So you want to hear about what happened behind stage, Well, if you won't tell a soul, I'll tell you what I know, Do you remember the big Minstrel Show we had up here at school, oh, not so very long ago? You do. Well, do you remember the property girls who worked so hard? Oh, you don't re- member? Well, if you won't breathe a word of this, I'll tell you their names. One was tall, slim, and blonde-you must know Eleanor: the other was short and dark-Marion. At that time they were known as the charming blonde and the dashing brunette. Now they are known as Heidbrink and Marks in- corporated. Page Fourteen Well, these two girlies had a heap of work to do, and one of their tasks was to take care of the costumes. You remember the Dolly Sisters- Niehart, Greengard, and Mortinson? Well, their act had just gone over in a big way, and they had tripped dainti- ly down to the dressing room to change from their fluffy costumes to street clothes. Well, you know how girls are, always worrying about something, .

HVV110 Are Y0u?', SHALL always remember my first day at Humboldt-the most em- barrassing day in my life. Eva, Honey, Sue, Patty, Marion and I were seated together in the Rest Room. Honey drew a piece of gum from her purse and broke it up in live pieces giving each of us one, The Study Hall was quiet. Not knowing that one should not talk dur- ing a study period, I got up from my seat, and bent over Marion to see what she was doing. All at once 1 felt some- one tap my shoulder. I looked up into Mr. Billing's face. Fear gripped me. What had I done? HUMBOLDT LIFE Who are you? was his first ques- tion. In a low voice I answered, 'ADoro- thy. 'ABut who are you? he asked again. Again I repeated, Dorothy Shadurf' But who are you? he insisted. This time I was silent. I heard Mr. Billing speak again, Do you mean to tell me that you aren't at least the assistant principal of the school? By this time all eyes in the assembly were fixed on me. Nervous and excited I chewed my piece of gum at a great rate of speed. Mr. Billing walked away, and mut- tered under his breath, SophomoresI Dorothy Shadur. A Strange Tale T has been told that on a particular Friday evening Ellen Sommer de- cided to go to see the Humboldt-Me- chanics basketball game. Ready at last, Ellen boarded a street car at peace with the world until the conductor, for a whim of his, asked her for the fare. She looked in all her pockets and bags for a dime, but she couldn't produce anything but some string and a top which she had taken from Willard Stoll that morning. Back to her house she leisurely strolled, She found that she had left the doors open. She could find nothing but a dollar Cthe tokens were on the tablej. Once more she started off fforgetting to lock the doorsb. Again she boarded the street car. Once more the conductor asked for the fare. She handed him the dollar and murmured, Tokens The conductor gave her tokens C90 cents worthb and a dime change. Ellen put the dime in the box and the tokens in her pocket. Helen Petherbridge. A Senior Confesses ORROR of horrors! At the top of the steps stood Miss How. And just as I expected she snapped in a stern, deep voice, Doris, where do you think you are going? You have been running up and down these stairs for the last five or ten minutes. Where do you belong, and why aren't you THERE? Down my cheeks ran my old friends, or perhaps I should say enemies bc- cause I hate tears! 'ABut, Miss How, I have tried going up each set of stairs except these, and when I get to the top I can't find the room where I am sup- posed to go. I don't know the school very well, and I guess I am lost. Because of what she did then, I will always remember her as a friend in need. She simply took my arm and led me to my next period class. And now,-But hurrayl Graduation is only a few days off. I shall never forget these wonderful years of joy and sorrow that I have spent at Humboldt. Especially shall I always remember that first day at Humboldt-and my rescue by Miss How.

Paye Fifteen HUMBOLDT LIFE Venimus, Vidimus, Vicimus A History EFORE there is any attempt to en- large on our great horde, better known as the Senior Class, we will delve into the past. At the close of the first year of our great enterprise at Roosevelt, we ac- quired the title of Sophomores and im- migrated to the Land of Promise-- Humboldt. As immigrants always do, we met with trials and hardships-for at our entrance to this vast Unknown, merciless tribes of Juniors and Seniors swooped down on us unsuspectingly. With a blood-curdling warwhoop, they overcame our resistance and trampled unmercifully on our pride, but with undaunted spirit, we trudged onward-yea, and upward. Who could resist the urge of conquest with a leader such as ours, Miss Ostergren? She immediately called together our great clan on November 6, 1928. At the meeting, we elected our war chiefs: Bernard Fletcher, president: Lois Cos- griff, vice president: Virginia Baum- gardner, secretary, and Richard Spring- er, treasurer. Then at the Sophomore picnic on May 23, 1929, at Lake Phalen, we all discarded our business clothes and be- came loyal subjects to that much loved monarch-Hilarity. At this great event. Miss Ostergren entered into the frolic as enthusiastically as we did. Vacation sped by and we were jolly Juniors, a little more sure and more self-confident, but still, waiting anx- iously for that turn around the corner and the realization of our dreams. At our first Junior Class meeting, held on September 25, 1929, Bernard Fletcher was again elected our president with aids in the persons of Marvin Geiger, vice president: Jean Kane, sec- retary, and James Klingel, treasurer. Page Sixteen Our greatest revelry was the Junior- Senior Ball at which we presided as hosts and hostesses. This was held at the Masonic Temple on May 29, 1930. Came a short vacation and then-we were Seniors. Members of our Senior Class have distinguished themselves in a variety of ways. Bernard Fletcher heads our list as the undefeated leader throughout our stay at Humboldt. This last year, he was helped by Mary Stevens, vice president: Jean Kane, secretary, and Carl Bisciglia, treasurer, ln our hall of fame we find in the athletic field, all these: John Neihart, Frank Knodle, John Grogan, Joe Flynn, Joe Lipschultz, Ernest Johnson, Harold Zovatsky, Leonard Graves, Carl Bisciglia, Ted Appleby, according to our noted authority, Mr. Billing, is the most out- standing humorist Humboldt has had for years. Alyce Neihart, a veritable go-getter, has been a great supporter of athletics through her salesmanship. Eleanor Pagel, our valedictorian, has distinguished herself in both studies and social affairs. These are just a few of the names of our noted group. To name them all in their various fields would fill volumes and volumes, for we are truly a noted lot. Plays, our Senior Circus, the operet- ta, dances and various other entertain- ments catered to our amusements through this year, and now we face the realization of our dreams, our sought after goal-our diplomas. Before us looms the vast unknown. Who knows what it contains? This has been just an account of our past: now we're going out to make history. FRANCES METCALF. HUMBOLDT LIFE G55 as QS ru in l .as numb we X .. , Q 4 I . p g. 'y i P V ' Our Adviser FOR Miss Ostergren, our capable adviser, we, the Class of 1931, deeply feel a real gratitude for the help she has given us, the advice she has offered, and the ability for leadership she has shown. She has given freely of her time and labor to guide us through the storms of our inexperience and fear. Her sense of justice, her steady coolness, her sense of humor- all of these we have found delightful. Though.We have bothered her With questions, and filled her time With our problems, yet with us she has always been patient. Therefore, long after this page may have crumbled to dust, the Class of 1931 will remember Miss Ostergren with affection. Whatever good quali- ties our class may possess, We owe in large measure to her. With all our hearts we thank her. Page Seventeen 4...-..-..-..-.

Page Thirty-nine Fourth: The boys of the Senior HUMBOLDT LIFE C1assWi11 E, the class of 1931, being of a disposing mind and aware of the necessity of passing farther on in life, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament. First: We give and bequeath to the class of 1932 the exalted title-Senior +and all the honors and privileges that that title embraces. Second: We leave to you fortunates who will face Humboldt audiences the orders to guard and to supplement that illustrious list of prominent personages in as much space as remains behind stage. We trust that this long list will become more lengthy as a result of your efforts. Third: The girls of the Senior Class are forced to leave to the feminine ele- ment of the school that heart-breaking and joy-inspiring mechanism, the scale, which resides in the office of the nurse. Out of the fullness of our hearts we sincerely hope that the weights will bal- ance as you would have them. Class leave to the succeeding gentlemen the care of the bubble fountain which is situated near the south entrance of Humboldt High School, with this word of advice from capable sages: Do not let the silvery spray arising from the glistening depths of the fountain stain the august walls of Humboldt to a greater degree than has already been rendered it. Fifth: On behalf of your vanity, ladies, we present to you the lonely mirror that the girls so favor with their attentions and join you in prayer that this distracting article will soon have a companion above it. As a corresponding thought, we hope that the coming students of Woodshop will utilize the mirror therein to as good advantage as we have done. We wish, for your benefit, that no sophisticated Page Forty young lady will be prompted to sneer at a stray hair in your pompadour. Sixth: During the year 1931 the school-wide M. R. Test was initiated. We leave with you the pleasure and sat- isfaction you will surely derive from lowering the present average of nine errors to the unpresumptuous sum of none We know that our coniidence has found a worthy abode. Seventh: We sadly leave behind us the joy you must anticipate in being the attentive listeners to the dramatic Shakesperian readings that will be ren- dered by our capable dramatist, Miss Graves. We know that 'AMacbeth and Hamlet will give you many exciting thrills. Eighth: We of not detaining minutes after the of neglecting the cleanliness. Lest think a bit, we mistake the floor give to you the duty yourself seven or eight usual dismissal because practice of the laws of we have caused you to simply mean, Don't for a waste-basket. Finally: Should there be any over- sight in the disposal of our worth- while possessions, let the wise faculty with Mr. Wauchope as executor, dis- pense with those belongings in the man- ner they see fit. In testimony, whereof, we have here- unto subscribed our name and aflixed our seal this eighth day of May in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-one. The Class of 1931. Irene Lanoux: Say, Will, 1 just re- ceived news by remote control, that you are talking to a girl every day during sixth period. Willard Stoll: Why, er: Oh, that's my niece, Dorothy Metzger.

In the Hands of the Law On the corner of a busy downtown corner stands the fruit stand of Tony Ragoni. This fruit stand is the pride of Tony's heart. Early every morning he can be seen polishing his apples and placing his fruits in order. Around the corner comes Mike Mo- riarity, the cop, picks out a few nice bananas, and continues on his way. So it continues: Tony's bananas go, but with no profit and all loss to Tony. One day last week Mr. Ragoni de- cided a stop should be put to these ra- vages. When Mike came around the corner and picked out his bananas, out swooped Tony. flContinued on Page 631 Page Fifty-one HUMBOLDT LIFE What Parents Have Learned From High School Courses. Mr. and Mrs. Bryce say- We have learned that it would be very foolish to send Doris to college. Study and she are not friends. Dr. and Mrs. Kesting say- From Elizabeth's and Eleanor's two years in a senior high school we have learned that it is foolish to expect the girls in before 1:30 or 2:00 A. M. Nothing really starts until 9:00. Mr. and Mrs. Haskell say- We have learned that high school demands no studying to get red marks. Mr. and Mrs. Hendrickson say- It seems to be the custom now for people to have two telephones and the wall paper around the telephone stand covered with names, numbers, and de- scriptions. Mrs. Collett says- I always thought that it was proper for a young man to call a young lady on the telephone, but that it was ter- rible for a young lady to do the call- ing. Now, however, our telephone rings continuously, and it's always a girl calling for Lester to take her to a movie or a dance. Elva Canniff's aunt- How much I have learned about Humboldt since Elva has gone there! When I was a Humboldt student, we had to walk home and to school, But now, would Elva even think of walk- ing? I should say notl She's very par- ticular, too. She won't ride in a Ford. not even a new one. Yes, I guess times have changed, all right. Mrs, Tavernier- Entertaining styles surely have changed. When I was a girl and my boy friend came to see me, we used to go to movies, picnics, canoeing, etc., but now when Ethel has company they stay at home and I must serve refresh- ments. You can't give these boys any- thing less than ice cream or some whip- ped cream dessert, either. Who said that it is the man who pays and pays and pays? Mrs. Jordan- I have learned, since William has been at Humboldt that it is very hard to study when there's a pretty girl across the aisle. --And so, you see, it's not only the high school student who learns things. ,LMil 1 Desire I wish that I had eyes as blue As summer's cloudless sky. As water's deepest, clearest hue, Or bluebirds Hying by. I wish that I had skin as white As angel's skin must be, Without a blemish or a blight, The mask of purity. Page Fifty-two I wish that I had raven hair With glossy, lustrous shine, And of a radiant texture rare- If only these were mine! These empty dreams will only die: They never will come true: My skin shall ne'er be white, and I Shall ne'er have eyes of blue. DoRoTHY ScHRoEDER. HUMBOLDT LIFE Page Fifty-three JUNIOR CLASS HUMBOLDT LIFE The junior Class VIWHE Junior Class has been under the leadership of William Schluke- bier, president, and the other olncers, Norman Purvis, vice president, Louise Pribyl, secretary, and George Povey, treasurer. To raise funds for the Junior- Senior dance, the Juniors sold candy at the operetta and at a candy sale. lvlohawk Night was sponsored by them also and candy was sold there. For the Junior-Senior, William ap- pointed several committees. Phyllis Swanson was chairman of the orchestra committee. Hazel Horsnell had charge of decorations, and planned a summer atmosphere. In charge of the favors was Muriel Jenne, and Mary Louise Johnson supervised the coupling. The Junior Prom was given at the Masonic Temple, May 27, l93l. Wil- liam Schlukebier and Mercedes Rigos, a Junior, led the prom, while Bernard Fletcher, Senior president, and Helen Schwandt were second in line. Ode to Cuckoo The cuckoo is a cuckoo bird. His song is cuckoo too. One day in spring I heard him sing, He made me think of you. Throughout the woods rang music sweet. O'er all the world was peace. Long, long I heard That foolish bird. It seemed he could not cease. At last, my mind did give away: My nerves were even worse. And now I too Am a cuckoo. I'm even writing verse. RICHARD SPRINGER. Do You Remember When Miss lddingsl room was the noon rendezvous of lovers? Among the members of this group were lone Brack, l:d Wence, Ruth Anderson, Dick Hor- ton, Leone Wright, Ward Conklin, La Vonne Aga, Lucille Goldberg, Frank Haskell, Doris Bryce, and Art Pagel. Allan Degnan edited 'AThe Study Hall Blahf' This collection of comic news events, serial stories, comic strips, sports, and jokes was enjoyed by the oth period study. Mr, McKenny was absent one day from 4th period art class. Guy Rice and Bill Kuehn, budding artists, decid- ed to become vaudeville actors and in doing so put on quite a show, that is, until an agent from Miss Kees appeared to stop the noise. Mary Trudeau was combing her hair in the lav. when the mischievous pals, Neagle and McMann, walked out with her hair pins. After waiting as long as she could, long-haired Mary made a dash for her locker. Bang! She ran square into the teacher in whose room she was supposed to be. Dolores Bergman preferred brun- ettes and Blossom Sorenson was Hum- boldt's most loyal basketball fan. Faith Carter, on her first day at Humboldt, lost her shoe at the top of the stairs. Furtively she sneaked down after it and past an open class room door, Alas! The shoe had been too noisy in rolling down the steps and Faith ran back to the third floor fol- lowed by laughter. Claire McMann did a little orginal acting in the Minstrel show. Finding himself out of tune when starting his solo, he, regardless of script, went be- hind the scenes and shot himself as his three companions already had. Harold Carnes, young-man-about- school, blushed and had to be coaxed to play the piano. Incidentally, he has not blushed since. Page Fifty- five SOPHOMORE CLASS HUMBOLDT LIFE The Sophomore Masquerade Spring was in the air-it usually is in lVlay. I was feeling the pangs of that stage known as boredom, and for want ol' something better to do, l gazed at the apple trees whose blossomed branches nodded lazily in the cool breeze. As I turned from the window, my eye lCll on the Sunday paper. l PICKQJ It up and turned hastily to the pages devoted to school activities. 'l here ln headlines was the announcement that the sophomore class of Humboldt High bchool was going to hold its annual ball at the Lowry Hotel. Interested, I read farther. The event was to be a masquerade, and the students could come as any character they wished. The school was offering three prizes for the best costumes, the winners to be selected according to the regulations of the judges. The first prize was to be given for the best interpretatlon of the character or type portrayed by the person. The second prize was to be given for the most humorous costume, while the third would be received by the wearer of the best costume pictur- ing a character of history. The long-anticipated day arrived at last. The ball-room was in festive at- tire-a mass of color and blazing lights. Among the guests, I recognized many of my classmates. I heard a familiar sound and turned to find Ida Simes, dressed as a clown and laugh- ing as usual. Melvin Plumber as the romantic Romeo and Caroline Boltman as Juliet. were the next to attract my attention. Both were in court dress, and had I not known who they were. I would have mistaken them for the originals. A large group was paying homage to Israel Bernstein in the role of Napoleon. It was fitting that Caesar, portrayed by Henry Henly, should enter the room with the great Shakespeare, naturally, Willard langleman. A flash of drawn swords heralded the arrival or the dashing Captain Kidd. liudolph Kuettner practically spoiled his part by wearing a grin on his race instead ot a thundering frown, but no one minded. The coming of the royal Queen Elizabeth caused a great commotion. Ur course you have all guessed that thls part was taken by the Queens name- sake, Elizabeth Cheesbrow. It was es- sential that at least one costume should be moderng So Louis Haggenmiller came as the renowned Al Capone. ljveryone drew a sigh of relief when he revealed the fact that he had not his gun with him. The part of Joan of Arc was admir- ably taken by Helen Colbeth. Her white armor presented a contrast to the highly colored costumes of the others. No doubt you are familiar with the Count of Monte Cristo: this part was taken by Roy Applebaum. Suave and distinguished, he was the center of at- traction for many, Everyone made way for the devil who entered. snorting smoke from his nostrils. A shout went up when he was recognized as Raymond Noles, smoking a large black cigar. A dainty Columbine, black-patched and like a flower, swirled in. Miss Plufkal Caretaker and councillor of our class. The festival reached its height when the prizes were awarded, and those who received them were heartily congratulat- ed by the others. After a few more hectic hours of hectic fun, everyone left. And the next day meant school!

Office Force ED by Miss How, a group of girls, run the Humboldtites from that central stronghold-the office. There have been so many post-grad- uates in .the office this term that the regular office force has not had as much to do as usual. When the telephone rings, three or four girls usually stumble over each other in -a mad effort to an- swer it, There are as many ways of announcing 'AHumboldt High School as there are girls on the force. One girl may lift up- the receiver slowly and timidly ask what is wanted, while the next may stalk up and boldly and grufliy make her request-in a business- like manner. There has been some dif- ficulty caused by the new telephone. When it was installed, all the girls were anxious to hear.its odd ring, and Miss How had to tell us which one to answer. Providing that both phones don't ring at .the same time, we can now usually tell them apart. Then there are messages to be de- livered from parents to students and teachers ,to be summoned. All the girls like to take notices around, especially if there is to be an assembly. The girls who have never made requisitions are fortunate, for this work is then Asaved for some one who has had the experi- ence. The beginning of the term is .the busiest time of the year. The first job that confronts the girls is the preparing of report cards, ofiice record cards, and the filing of finding cards. Moreover, each time report cards make their ap- pearance, they must be made ready for distribution, and after their return must be checked and filed. Then come the class lists. It is unbelievable how hard it is to read the writing of some teachers. This means a constant refer- ence to the oHice records and a conse- quent delay. Imagine -the chagrin to find the card just as illegible. Previous to the publication of the Junior Life, the girls are kept at work makingstencils. This is not a task, but to have one's work spoiled by an error in typing is the drawback. From some- where this term have come the Minimum Requirement Tests to be mimeographed, During .the slack periods, the girls make use of any extra time to do our transcripts. Mr. Wauchope has a pri- vate secretary, Mary Van Guilder: so most of his work is taken-care of by her. However, do not think the office work is all a grind, for the force is -a merry group.

Girl Reserves NE of the most respected group of girls at Humboldt High School, organized for the purpose of creating true friendship, is the Girl Reserves. The code, which the girls endeavor to live up to, expresses what a true Girl Reserve should be. Girl Reserve work extends through- out the world. Shortly before Christ- mas, they filled a large cretonne bag, made by Miss Graves, with toys, articles of clothing, tablets, and pencils, and sent it to Ellis Island for an immigrant child. Other accomplishments of the club were a candy sale at school and a city- wide doughnut sale, at which Corrine Haedrick won a Girl Reserve bracelet for selling the largest number of doughnuts. A masquerade party was held at the Y. W. C. A. which all Humboldt girls attended. A city-wide Gob Party was held in December. On the tenth of March, all the clubs gave a Valentine party for the advisers. The Gingham Chorus which made its debut at the Gingham Formal Party on March 7, was one of the head-liners of the Senior Circus. On May 12 at the Y. W. C. A. the club entertained its mothers with a style show and program, The girls are going to send their new president to Okoboji, the Girl Reserve Camp in Iowa, this summer. --- THE ROBERT STREET BRIDGE Oh. graceful span with pillared arch, And sweeping stream beneath, Thy piers and rails are circled round, With an engine's smokey wreath.

One Score Six CWz'th apologies to Lincolnj NE score and six men are the Omicron Sigma Sigma, who two years ago brought forth upon this school a new club, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all its members are free and easy. They have been engaged in a great battle, testing whether the Tommyhawkers, or any other organization can long en- dure. They have come to dedicate themselves to a genuine spirit of fellow- ship, and whether fitting and proper or not, have resolved that this club of the students, by the students, and for the students shall not perish from this school, The officers are Harold Carnes, presi- dent: Guy Rice, vice president: Charles Phelps, secretary: James Klingel treas- urer.

TOIIIIIIYIIHWIQCFS HE Tommyhawker Club is one which is comparatively young at Humboldt, having been established here a year ago last winter. During its short life, this organiza- tion has steadfastly followed its policy, It has attempted to .be what students should be-patriotic supporters of school activities as a whole. Thus far the club has conducted one Indian day program and the recent football ban- quet, besides being generally helpful in smaller events at Humboldt. The club adviser is Miss How, who they believe is the best that could be obtained in any school. She.is helpful and suggestive and assists them in any- thing they may undertake, even to the extent of spending her Saturdays and lending her carto help them succeed in some project. What more could any- one want? Although the Tommyhawkers claim Page Sixty-six no superiority, they have several dis- tinguished members in their ranks. We name the following: Cecil COX, feature editor of HLifeI'g Edwin Engfer, 'lLife advertising manager and publicity man- ager of the senior circus: Dana Gallo- way, tallest boy at Humboldt: and William Kuehn, chalk and Life art- ist. Tommyhawkers also took part in the Senior Day assembly, the Circus, football, basketball, swimming and hockey. ' Miss Sherman: I think I'll give you a short written lesson, Mason Carlton: Aw! please, Miss Sherman, don't. Miss Sherman: Well, on second thought I guess I won't. Mason C,: Ah!-You're a sweet- heart! Cthen he blushedj HUMBOLDT LIFE THE CAST OI? PRINCESS TING-All-LING Music UMBOLDT'S music department, as usual, took a leading part in the school's activities. The personnel of the orchestra was larger this year, and new instruments were purchasedetwo kettle drums and a new bridge on the bass-viola. The production of Princess Ting Ah Ling, was the chief musical event. Those who had the leading parts in this Oriental drama were Viola Vogt, who took the part of Princess Ting Ah Ling, and Edgar fStaehli, who took that of Ah Lee, the University graduate, who came home only to fall in love with the beautiful princess. Other important characters were Tom Klingel as King Duck Ling, Willard Engleman as Wun Lung, Israel Burnstein as Ku Ku, Charles Esensten as Look See: and Har- vey Joiner as Tu Fat. The orchestra had a prominent part in the HBurns-Mac Circus, which was directed by Miss Burns and Mr. Mc- Mann. The Little German Band, with their crazy antics and red noses, were enough to draw anyone inside to see the rest of the show. They played throughout the circus. Real Christmas spirit was aroused in everybody when the girls' chorus, green- smocked and carrying candles, walked through the halls singing Deck the Hall the last day before our vacation. Everyone followed them down to the gymnasium, where a huge Christmas tree sparkling with tinsel glowed. There the school sang carols lustily. Anyone taught by Miss Burns is pre- pared for any musical emergency. On one occasion, Miss Burns was sick and unable to attend an assembly, at which the orchestra was scheduled to play. Fred Christopherson came to the rescue, and directed the orchestra well, The orchestra played for the annual play, Adam and Eva, and for many of the assemblies. Dorothy Schroeder was the winner of the Schubert prize, offered for writing the best essay on one of its concerts. The prize was presented to her at a musical assembly in May. The climax of the work in the musi- cal department will be the preparation of a string quartet and a boys' and girls' mixed chorus for the commencement ex- ercises, June 9..

Basketball THE 1930-31 basketball team had a successful season despite the fact that they won only one of the city con- ference games. 1t seemed as if the boys couldn't beat Old Man Jinx, for all the conference defeats were by small margins and the Johnson game was lost by only one point. However, the Hum- boldt Cage Team finished the season with eleven wins, and ten defeats. Perhaps the most bitterly fought game was that with Johnson. After leading throughout the game, the Hum- boldt defense faltered. With one min- ute to play and Humboldt leading by one point, John Smouse, a Johnson sharpshooter, was sent in. In a few sec- onds this same star dropped in the win- ning basket, thus eliminating the ln- dians from the conference race. Co-captain Frank Knodle, all-city forward, and Joe Lipschultz, second all-city team guard, starred on offense and defense respectively. The splendid t Page Sixty-eight work of Herman Firestone, center, had much to do with his being chosen on the second all-city quint. Phil Delaney, co-captain, Harold Zovatsky, John Hughes. and Maurice Effress were also important men on the Humboldt team. The following are the scores of the conference and non-conference basket- ball games played this season: Humboldt 15-South St. Paul 20. Humboldt 22-Emanuel 18, Humboldt 10-Cretin 20.

George Haller, Richard Springer, Kenneth Krey, Harold Carnes is also a member of the team. Swimming N the past few years the swimming squads at Humboldt have shown a steady improvement. This has been especially true in 1930-31. XVhen Mr, Peterson, the swimming team manager, issued a call for candi- dates, there was a great response. Many aquatic stars took to the Y. M. C. A. swimming pool to try to gain places on the Indian Tank Team. Most of the material, however, was green, but through the able work of Coach Peterson, the tanksters, led by Bernard Koenke, performed creditably for Humboldt in all their conference meets with Johnson, Mechanics, and Central. All the boys who have won a letter in swimming really deserve it. ln or- der to receive their letter they must compete in swimming meets and gain points by winning over their oppo- nents. For a letter, ten points are neces- sary as well as participation in at least two polo games. O matter how great any team is, it needs a second, or scrub, team to drill with. Our basketball quint wasnt great, but we had a scrub team that was good. This outfit, composed only of sopho- mores, performed creditably for Hum- boldt. After losing the first three games, they succeeded in capturing the next four tilts and finished the season with five triumphs and five losses. Some of the players in the sopho- more team will be season next year, and we may then watch Humboldt A'click, as Coach lVlclVlann says. The offensive and defensive work of James Doyle, star forward, was a great asset to the team. The timely shoot- ing of Fred Lovell, Ray Nolles, and Jack Hall was also noteworthy. The guarding of Harold Altstatt and Cal- vert Felton was a feature of the team. John Farley, swift stepping forward, also performed well, while Nathan Kivatintz and Hyman Simos were ef- fective alternates.

With only four veterans-Clarence Courtney, Joe Flynn, Carl Bisciglia and Leonard Graves-the hard task was faced of building a formidable team. Many eve- nings were spent in teaching green material the fundamentals of football. The boys, however, were eager to learn and picked up the hints of the coaches, John Fahey and Claire 1V1c1Vlann, to the best of their ability. Humboldt succeeded in winning one conference game, the battle with John- son, their old-time rival. This game will go down in high school football history as the battle of backfields. The West Siders, facing a bigger and stronger team in every game, depended usually on many trick plays to score points. Captain Clarence Courtney was always a consistent ground gainer for the Indians. He returned punts for many long gains. Humboldt was represented on the Daily News and the Dispatch-Pioneer Page Seventy Press All Star teams by Clarence Court- ney, Joe Flynn, and Clarence Jannett. With only a few lettermen lost, Humboldt has championship prospects for the coming season. At the annual football banquet, on January 20, 1931, Clarence Courtney was re-elected captain for the 1931 football team.

Last season the lndians played four practice or non- conference games. These games gave the coaches knowledge of their material. All candidates were given a chance to display their talents.

Louis Pepin. Howard Van, Jack Smythe, Hockey HOUGH only four hockey veter- ans appeared in the initial game of the hockey season, yet Humboldt took second place in the city conference race. Captain Howard Van, Gordon Bar- ron, Allan Van, and John Grogan were the returning veterans. Of the new men, Louis Pepin, Grover Eletcher, Arvid Edwards, and Jack Smythe, proved to be the outstanding players. Sophomore Louis Pepin proved the lind of the year. He was used at for- ward and center and showed great abil- ity in carrying the puck and breaking up opposing plays. Playing at a wing position, Charles Meehan was one of the offensive stars of the city, his fast skating and deadly shooting being a main factor in the Orange and Black attack. Besides forming the best defense in the conference, Gordon Barron and Allan Van proved themselves strong on the attack as well. These two seemed to take a particular liking to body checking as well as tripping, slashing and cross checking. John Grogan, playing his last year in the nets for Humboldt, ended his career as a goal guard gloriously. The opposition found it diliicult to beat him, and only on rare occasions was he drawn out of his net to be scored upon. Grover Eletcher and Arvid Edwards turned in the best performances of the FCSCFVCS. CGonlinued from Page 705 in non-conference games were Cretin, Stillwater, Hastings, and South St. Paul. The Humboldt Indians and the South St. Paul Packers game is an an- nual affair. Last season a heavy Packer team defeated the Indians by the score, 2. Although the score does not 7 to show it, Humboldt outplayed the Pack- ers.

Page Seventy-three HUMBOLDT LIFE Adam and Eva AUGHING until they nearly fell from their seats, and applauding until their hands tingled, the audi- ence displayed their delight in the comedy Adam and Evan by Guy Bolton and George Middleton which was presented in the auditorium at Humboldt. It was given by the mem- bers of the advanced dramatics class on VVednesday and Thursday eve- nings, December third and fourth. Mr. King tHarold Carnesj in a beautifully furnished living room an- nounced l1is intention of going to South America. He also stated that his business manager, Adam Smith ttiordon Bothj, was to be father of the house during his absence. While Mr. King was away, Adam Smith faked a I'llll1 of Mr. Kingis business. The members, unaccus- tomed to working, were greatly dis- turbed. Therefore, under the super- vision of Mr. Smith, they moved on a farm. Upon Mr. King's arrival home, he was very much astonished to find his family living on a farm, believing that his business had failed. Mr, King had been unaware of these changes for which Adam was responsible. Mr. Smith revealed the truth. Eva King tHelen Gouldj and tl1e other mem- bers of the household realized that Mr. Smith had converted them from idle, worthless people to self-respect- ing characters. The change from formal evening clothes to farmer's attire, the con- trast between the lavishly furnished home and a plain, old-fashioned farm, and the change in characteris- tics displayed wl1e11 the Kings were wealthy and when they were living on the farln fascinated the audience. The orchestra played several selec- tions before the first act and between Page Seventy-four the second and third. These included '6To Spring , by Grieg, 'tMiniature', by A. Gaedicke, Ancun Minuet by N. Amani, 6'Serenade', by Chaminade, Spanish Dance No. 1 by Moszkow- sky. The art depart1ne11t contributed its time and energy to make the stage attractive. Those wl1o contributed were under tl1e direction of Mr. Mc- Kelmy and were Donald Jeffords, Fred McNeely, Dominic DeValerio, Stanley Asbury, Lucille VVettingel, and VVilliam Kuehn. Mr. Nash together with Charles Beggs, Herbert Busch, Durwood Hacklander, Louis Hagenmiller, Laurence Martin, and VVestly Sorum made the scenery. Crazy?

LEONARD GHAVES proved his business skill by being the first to re- port a room one hundred per cent subscribed to t'Humboldt Life. Not only did he recognize a bargain, but he made others see with his eyes. Leonard has also shown himself a leader by his ability to laugh at l1is UXVII troubles and by his sportsman- ship in t'ootball. Miss AMANDA WHALEY follows. VVe all know her worth, but does everyone know that voluntarily she has spent her vacant periods tutoring would-be entrants to Minnesota for their entrance examinations? Edwin Engfcr, advertising and publicity manager, works and thinks for Humboldt. As salesman, director, or student he has proved trust- worthy and capable. VVhen he says You can count on me, the rest of us know we can. Mr. Nash, manager of the wood shop and one of Humboldt's old friends, is of that group which works so quietly that due praise is not given them. Are bulletin boards needed or concession booths, or new stage sets, then Mr. Nash is called upon and ably responds. Ami here is WILLIS VVAHKEN- TEIN. Not a game has be missed of football, hockey or basketball for the last two years. XVillis has a true Humboldt spirit, Finally there is RUTH FINCK. Perhaps there are others like her, but they can be only a few. Ruth not only attends Humboldt but works a full eight hours at the Cedar telephone exchange each day. Yet her card seldom shows anything but Ais or AA's. .g...-.........-...-.......-..-...-..-..-...-..-.......-Li. 5 MCCLUSKEY CLOTHES Q t X f t 1 F t 5 in ....,.... t SUITS WITH TWO TROUSERS t I ,520 at 525 t CCLUSKEY t i 2nd Floor, Bremer Arcade Bldg. i i7rh at Robert St. Pauli -1------H----------W - -----I----------I----4 Page Seventy-tive HUMBOLDT LIFE EDU URIAL 'lo call a column Editorial is one way of making sure that no one will read it.

Unforgettable I will never forget the unexpected de- feat that Washington High School ad- ministered to Humboldt in basketball last winter. It was a costly defeat be- cause it put Humboldt out of the play- off for the first time since the high school conference has been composed of five teams. The night Humboldt played Wash- ington I was a little late because I thought that the game was won before it was played. Washington, with a five to one lead was what I found when I reached Macalester. At first I thought that Humboldt was stalling, but as the game wore on I grew more and more uneasy. I no longer thought that Hum- boldt had an easy victory. My fear was justilied when Humboldt was still behind at the half. When the teams came back for the second half my hopes mounted a trifle, for Humboldt played Washington on even terms during the third quarter. When the game was drawing to a close Humboldt tried desperately to come within three points of Washington, but this last tremendous effort failed when Washington made two fine field goals in the last minute of play. That night was a tragic one for me. Later the sting of this unexpected defeat was re- duced a great deal by Washington con- tinuing to play fine basketball. In the play-off they defeated Mechanics and Johnson, and gave Central a good bat- tle.

On arriving, he approaches a senior to ask, 'APlea'se, where could I ind Miss Iddings' room? The reply from the bold senior is, Just where she left it. After staying for a term, he is con- fronted with the problem of making his bookkeeping balance and is tempted to ask, Can you make this balance? 'ASure, comes the reply, just put the same weight on each side and you have it! Finally, one year has passed. Dur- ing an oral history recitation one day, he is baffled by the question, How long did Napoleon stand at the battle of Waterloo? A striking reply echoes from the back of the room, Till he sat down! Now he has succeeded in climbing worst is over. Suddenly one day, his English teacher, wanting a composition. asks him what he would do with ten dollars if she should give it to him. After hesitating, he frankly replies, Well, give me the ten first: afterwards I'll be better able to tell you how I spent it. When September comes, he has com- pleted two years. He now indulges in teasing and initiating the new stu- dents, something he once was. The year passes quickly. Suddenly, school closes for vacation, and he is free to go into the world. As he closes the school door behind him for the last time, he sighs, I can't believe it! Many stiff necks were the only up- purent results of the Senior tests. e!u1a-n1n1-.1-.1n1-11...-..1..1-..-...1..-.1. 1 A REAL HAIRCUT L l at I i A.

L ll WHY DELAY SUCCESS? We maintain the same courses and standards in all subjects, offer the same type of instruction and provide all of the usual op- portunities for rapid advancement. Our students are made up of high school graduates, teachers, college students and college graduates. Naturally they are cap- able of doing a fine type of work. The difference between our summer session and our regular school is in the fact that our summer classes in shorthand, typing, bookkeeping, accounting, law, etc., do intensive work with a view to making it possible for teachers, college students, etc., to make the most rapid progress possible during their stay. Our summer classes offer an excellent opportunity to regular students who want to get a start on their courses. Many high school graduates come to us in June and thus get an advantage of three months over those who wait until September. These students begin to earn salaries three months earlier than Sep- tember students. They gain advancement three months earlier and of course earn three months' salary while others are in school. Our summer school offers an exceptional opportunity to such high school graduates as we have mentioned. Early en- rollment is advisable. We employ no solicitors, but those interested are cordially in- vited to visit the school at any time. Request free booklet. WALTER RASMUSSEN, Principal 63 East Fifth Sain!
