May this volurne in future years aid in recalling and brightening precious memories of high school days. Dedication To the memory of Iosephine Pearl Myers, our comrade, whom the Great Master called from our quiet valley during the summer of 193 0, we dedicate this hook of Nature's Masterpieces, the NOKOMIS of 1932. We shall always remember Iosephine for her cheerfulness, sincerity, and thoughtfulness toward others.

In the first graduating class there were two membersg in our graduating class this year there are 47. Graduates of our high school have attended S0 different colleges extending from within Canada to New Mexico and from the Atlantic to the Pacific. In 1927 our team won the state debate cup. In 1914 our dramatic contestant won first in the state contest. Four others have reached the final event. Our declam. students have won the sub-county declam. contest ten years in succession, from 1922 to 1931 inclusive. In 1928 our basketball team won the Little Nine tournament. In 1927 and 1928 we won the Class A sectional tournament. In three years we have had 19 representatives in the academic meet at Iowa City. Eight of these won honor places. Our year book, the Nokomis, received an Excellent rating in 1930 and 1931. In various nation-wide contests our students have won a medal, three cash and several miscellaneous prizes. Among our alumni are two judges. One of our star athletes won sixteen athletic letters while in college. One of our graduates is a missionary in Burma and two others have positions in China. OUR 193 1-32 GROWTH In 1931, six students represented H. H. S. in eight subjects at the state academic meet at Iowa City. Honor rating was received in two of these subjects. Our school as a whole ranked fourth in the state and second in the district, for which' accomplishment we received two trophies. In 1931 the senior typing team placed third in the sectional contest, and the junior typists won first. In 1932 the senior team placed third. In the state-wide music contest three soloists, the girls' glee club, and boys' octette were entries in the district contest, and one soloist represented us in the state meet. In 1931 our basketball team won the county championship. This year we were successful in winning the Big Six declam. cup for the third time in succession. Three of our declam. students participated in the pre-district contest, and one represented H. H. S. in the district and won second in the state contest. One CXCCIHPO- raneous speaker won over all in the district meet, and competed in the state. The debate team lost the district tournament by one point, only. Our 1931-32 basketball team was runner-up in the Little Nine tournament. Two soloists represented H. I-I. S. in the district music contest. page eight .WW A V EDWIN E.

MOUNTAIN OF KNOXVLEDGE The mountain isn't easy to climb But it's worth the time that you spend From the base, where the quaking aspen grows To the top, where the sturdy oaks bendg For after you pass the chestnut tree And slip by the whispering pine, After you pass the shade of the oak, You stand on the winning line. And after the evening draws to rn close And the clipper hangs low in the skyg You'll never regret the work it took To climb up this mountain high. -Verna Bc' HZ 'ji'-.- W any if t i lifluf , 4, i, -1.- page nine null . i f ll 'QQ 1-A .. , 'II 9, -43 + page ten CATHERINE OSIA Principal Senior Class Sponsor, Geometry The brsl IIItlfbl'IIltlffCll11I-Xb!! who rlaulrles lbe most joys and rliviiles lbs' mos! sorrows.

THE PATH THROUGH THE FOREST Once upon a time-oh, but this is hardly a suitable beginning-and yet, this is a fairy tale, and all good fairy tales must start this way. And so, once upon a time began the story of a pocketful of little petticoated and pantalooned acorns. They were just ordinary acorns, squirming restlessly as they struggled with their A-B-C's. But alas-only twelve of this class of miniature students were destined to grow to oakhood togetherg they were Marjorie Chamberlin, james Coddington, Helen DeSmidt, Frank Gotch, Bertha Sampson, Doryec Schnoor, Byron Shepard, Beulah Morgan, Lenore Snitkey, Evelyn Van Gronigan, Ionc Tel- lier, and Gladys DeSmidt. As months rolled by, they grew, new shoots were transplanted to the grove-shoots which later proved their grain. Doll contests and music memory contests, spelling contests and ticket selling contests- these all-important activities, together with more branches of A-B-C's and 1-2-3's, filled many precious moments of their days. It seemed that in each new undertaking some one of these small acorns displayed unusual talent, heretofore unsuspected, forming a firm founda- tion for the growth of later years. But these rootlets did not spend all of their time working in the school room. Recesses were too short for the favored games of hop-scotch, wood-tag, jacks, and crack-the-whip. The happy years sped rapidly and the frail rootlets soon became awkward young seedlings. Life as a seedling in junior high was very different. Here they enjoyed a variety of teachers as well as class rooms. An entirely new routine was established which omitted play periods, but afforded cultural recreation in the form of assemblies. It was at this time that these mischievous and rather impudent youngsters provoked a harassed teacher to declare, 'Tm up on my ear and I have a right to be. Little did she know that these words, by repe- tition, would become history. page twenty ww 4 ul' i L Us dl I j i i -9' 4 .ff ,. 9- ,f-1,1 - ' , H These seedlings were at that age of budding romances, when shyly adoring young hope- fuls with pink boxes of candy, sought recognition from bashful misses. And if these offer- ings failed their purpose, they were supplemented by luxurious bicycle rides or' an occasional date for the show. Thus began numerous childish infatuations. Earrings! What girl has not at some time wanted a pair of dangling earrings? These- junior high maidens were no exception. On a warm day in autumn, anyone passing by the Public Library might have been attracted by a very amusing spectacle. A number of small figures were busily rummaging through what appeared to be nothing more than a rubbish container. But what treasures were buried in its depths! An antiquated and discarded lamp shade proved to be the object of their interest. Not a mere lamp shade, but one profusely ornamented with gorgeous, though dusty, prisms. With a piece of ordinary wrapping cord, borrowed from the corner grocery store, the prisms were transformed into priceless jewels, which when correctly looped over the ears really produced a charming effect. However, wearing these at school had its disadvantages of which weight was the greatest and attrac- tion the least important. 'Twas just another evidence of growth. Barney Google, of international fame because of his prominence in the comic world, orig- inated a Sisterhood of Nanny Goats which was loyally supported by his numerous feminine admirers. The Humboldt Chapter, composed of a group of girls from this same class, gen- erously offered to entertain the annual Convention of the Sisterhood. However, due to in- clement weather and inadequate transportation facilities, it was decided that the gathering be postponed indefinitely. Saplings here and saplings there-saplings, saplings everywhere! Thus the seedlings were initiated into the halls of H. H. S. Green they were as the grass that grew, but after many blunders into senior class rooms and subsequent visits to room nine, they changed color, as- suming a blushing pink. Before long they were entering into all activities with an ardor equal to that of the upper classmen. As sophomores, they rejoiced in sweet revenge, causing the new freshmen frequent em- barrassing moments. Nevertheless, they soon became too occupied with their regular studies and extra-curricular work to indulge in such childish sport. Real ability was beginning to appear among these staunch saplings. In fact, they were furnishing real competition to the jealous upper classmen. In sports, in music, in literature, in public speaking, and in dra- matics they were well represented. Other strong sapling-shoots from neighboring groves came tumbling into this forest dur- ing their eleventh year of growth. They soon took root and reinforced the already sturdy young oaks. Both success and failure helped the oaks toward loftier heights. Stretching eagerly to full , maturity, they assumed the dis- H ' ' tinguished role of high school seniors. Shouldering new tasks such as the High School Regis- ter, the editing of the Nokomis, the production of the class play, not to mention the trials of physics notebooks, gave them added responsibility. Thus was the last year of their high school career. It is real-yes, very real, but now seems like a mere fairy tale. , Beatrice Serber and DOFYCC SCIIDOOI' Doggone Kids of By-gone Days page f1U!'llfy'0Il6' :C :W-wr 31 T-L I CHIPS OFF THE OLD OAK Due to the depression, we, the senior class of 1932, feel we must practice the most rigid economy in our donations to you, our fellow students.

Innum- erable questions concerning it filled my mind. Listening intently, I almost hoped to have the mysterious whispering leaves respond in a lan- guage I could understand. There it stood, slender, straight, and graceful, reaching up- ward as if it were seeking the benediction of heaven. Apparently it was the very incarna- tion of purity with its gleaming white bark rivaling the snow in its beauty. Yet, some- how, it was the glossy heart-shaped leaves shaking tremulously, so responsive, so sensi- tive to a breath of air, that created the great- est element of mystery. Courageously facing every barrier to existence, it struggled up- ward, though the shivering leaves revealed its timidity and fear which were thwarted by a tenacious spirit. I thought of it-clinging on the slopes of southern mountains-springing to life in the settlers' first clearing-now in open glades of Labrador-now in the moun- tains of Mexico- There in the wondering air of the tropics still dreaming of the cold- shivers the aspen always striving to live-to grow. How like the quaking aspen is the fresh- man in our high school. Perhaps you have wondered why so courageous a tree has shak- ing leaves, and perhaps you have wondered why each freshman should possess a quaking heart. Yet, the mystery remains. The fresh- man, too, is reaching upward. With a cour- ageous hopeful spirit, he is seeking higher goals. No mark of attainment seems too high to expend every effort to realize it. No bar- rier is too great to break down, for we are looking at the world through rose-colored glasses. Our eyes are not on those apparently stumbling stones, but upon the goal. 11 As our dreams are, so are we, We shape in thought, what we soon shape in deed, And what we daily hold within, we grow to beg Our visions are ourselves. Ah, yes-for every freshman there is a shivering heart, quaking with timidity and fears, but like the aspen, a tenacious spirit, the self-same spirit which will carry us on through all the walks of life just as it means the survival of the aspens in various parts of the globe. Witliotlt it there would be no life -no growth. Some of the freshmen have already realized a few of their dreams. As our first year ex- pires We may feel a great joy in the knowledge that we have been represented in practically every field of high school activities. We have played a part in the athletic and declamatory work of the school, and we have had a repre- sentative on the debate squad. The music dc- partment has discovered talent among us which will doubtless prove of great value to our beloved school. Cf course we must not fail to say there are some of our number in the Loyalty Club, demonstrating our loyal school spirit. We have also aided in maintain- ing the scholastic standard of the school, for several of us have been on the roll of honor students. May every freshman retain that spirit which the aspen tree symbolizes. For then we will not fail at one of the stumbling blocks, but continue to grow upward. -Genevieve Berkhimer WINGS I live in a land of imagination And build my dreams quite high, For I long to be prominent in aviation And climb far into the sky. page twwzly-smfcn ---...-f il.

They built a nest of mud and grass Wliere hatched their children four. They played and sang the whole day long Still happy as before. The autumn came. They still were here, A happy, happy few, When all the other birds were gone, They said, We're still with you. But when the cold north wind does blow They said, We'll leave you, too, But we will all return next spring, And make our nests near you. -Lauerlu Keller ew f,,2.sm 'W A l' X- QA' 'xlilfz gf:-. ll in Lx'-L. ll ei fp Al .-.7 .

The Oaks shrieked and waved their knarled limbs aloft as the Chief Guardian of the Bridge wailed that they might be deprived of the pleasure of editing their N0komis, The Book of Nature's Masterpieces. The storm passed. The Clark clouds which hung over the Oaks melted away to show the playful sunbeams dancing joyously in the hair of the Chief Guardian as she stood by her Sralwart Oaks and whispered that due to a change in the direction of the wind they could write their Book of Nature's Mastcrpiecesf' The Oaks sighed happily and chose Lenore Snitkey and Marjorie Chamberlin editor and assistant editor. They rustled to Royal Bennett and Frank Nordstrum to act as business manager and assistant. By the light of the moon these four executives met to choose Faye Berrier and Lilian Arent snapshooters, and Lois Shepard and her cohort, Eilene Terwilliger, typists. They selected two jester Oaks, Saxton and Sampson to catch peals of laughter for their book. They murmured to Doryce Schnoor to record the gatherings of the Whispering Pines, the Quaking Aspens, the Spreading Chestnuts, and the Oaks. They asked Kathryn Ross to catch the sunlight and the moonbeams and the shadows for the Nokomisg and they instructed Virgil Giddings to record the activities of the athletic Oaks, and Beatrice Serber the activ- ities of the House of Nature. NOKOMIS SALESMEN The staff selected a group of business-like young Oaks to rus- tle around and get orders for the Nokomis. Their powers of sales- manship proved to be effective, for they sold a goodly number of copies to students, teachers, alumni and also to business men. page zfloirtgz-three lp mf , 11, l maxi I' . 4 ' .1 F if ,ilii-41 I.

The Assembly Committee, representative of all classes except the Quaking Aspens, is sponsored by Mrs. Smith whose aim is to strive not for perfection, but to give every boy and girl a chance-that is, to give every student an opportunity to appear on the stage at least once each year. In this way no one is slighted, and no one can say that only a chosen few perform in assemblies. One of the most impressive assemblies of the year was the one held on the Friday before the Christmas vacation. The program consisted of a cantata, The Manger of Bethlehem, presented by the Bel Canto and Boys' Glce Club under the direction of Mrs. Engquist. The Cecilian Glee Club led the carols. Lenore Snitkey, chairman of the Assembly Committee, took charge of the distribution of the Christmas baskets which the committee delivers each year. The committee believes that educating through doing not only elevates the taste and stimulates interest in the work of many departments and organizations, but it affords a natural outlet for youthful spirits. The weekly assembly period not only contributes to- ward the future happiness of the students, but it makes them bettcr citizens. WASHINGTON? DEFEAT One of the most charming as- semblies of the year was held in honor of Washington's Bicenten- nial Anniversary. This assembly, in the form of a clever play entitled Wasl1ington's First De- feat, portrayed the brave Gen- eral Washington ignominously defeated-in love. page thirty- four 1-WH it l li, , f lp yll 6 ' ,333 'Q , , 4 in H.

The Humboldters, formerly called the Pep Club and now more commonly known as the Loyalty Club, was organized in 1930 by Mr. Crissey and Miss Sterner. Originally the purpose of the club was to sponsor pep meetings and to instill pep into the student bodyl. This year the club enlarged its scope and assumed greater responsibilities. New members were voted in each time vacancies occurred in the membership which was limited to twenty-five-twenty-three students and two sponsors. This year the as- pirants were graded on the following scale: 25 '71 honor, 25451 loyalty, ZS '71 scholarship, 25 '75 sportsmanship. A committee of teachers judged the eligibility of would-be members, and the members of the club voted on them. Kathryn Ross was president, Virgil Giddings, vice president, Wynn Tellier, secretary, and Dwight Lennon, treasurer, this year. After the Humboldters enlarged the principles of their organization they were hailed as the guardians of the spirit of Humboldt High School. This fact was shown by the enthus- iastic manner in which they sponsored the scholastic contest for a period of six weeks begin- ning with Educational Week and ending with the close- of the semester. l l YELL LEADERS Your pep! your pep! And these two yell leaders had plenty of it. Try-outs for yell leaders were held early in the year and two teams were chosen. These teams alternated at pep meetings and at basketball and football games. Here's to the Spirit of H. H. SJ page thirty-five g-Aon ., ff wa- in-1 an - . '1 -- 'i aria -b ith-N: Kalb.

From sixty students who turned out for declam the following teams were chosen: ex- temporaneous-Royal, Lilian, Frank N., Kathryn, Marjorie, and Beatrice, dramatic-- James, Frank G., Olive, Grace, Mary Jane, and Heleng humorous-Madeline, Kenneth, Alice, Wynn, Maxine, and Thelma. These teams again won the Big Six cup for Humboldt, making this the third consecutive year that the cup has been Won by us. Lilian and Kathryn won first places in this contest, so their names were engraved on the B. P. W. cup. Lilian, who won first place in the home contest in extemp, was chosen to represent us in the district meet. James Won first in dramatic in the home contest, Wynn, first in humorous, and Frank Gotch, first in oratorical. These three contestants won out in the first round of the state, the county, and the sub-district. James won first in the pre-district and district contests. This season was undoubtedly the most successful declam season that Humboldt has enjoyed for years and the contestants and coaches are to be commended for their enthusiasm. H .LL ff-Em? 11955 82?

Prior to 1921 dramatics were not considered seriously by upperclassmen. They were entered into by exploring freshmen who were eager to try every activity but whose enthus- iasm lagged after their first year of high school. In order to create a more lasting interest in extra-curricular work, Miss Altman organized the D. of D., a literary organization which rewards not only those beginning their literary and dramatic activities but also those who, having started, continue their interest all through high school. There are a number of keys with which one may gain entrance into the D. of D. society, and these are dramatics, forensics, Nokomis short story contest, eclitorship and position of business manager of the Nokomis, and editorship of the high school Register. Literary attempts, such as essays or poems gaining national or state recognition, also serve as keys for admission. The D. of D. society has proved itself one of the most popular and successful organiza- tions in high school. It is the aim of every boy and girl to be an active member of this club. D. OF D. PLAY Three Pills in a Bottle -but they did not remain there very long, for Tony was a Very gener- ous boy and gave away all three of his precious pills to the souls of the washwoman, the discon- tented old gentleman, and the scissors grinder. This was the charming fantasy presented last year on D. of D. day. page tbirly-seven I gl' 'W' iwflrlvr Q-gp--an-,Q ' - 'A 762- .-.,,L3i-h,,.na- 3 A DEBATE TEAMS Back Rowe-Arlene Reasoner, Frank Gotch, Helen DeSmidt. From' Row-Lilian Arent, Miss Bralcy, Betty Ross. The question for debate, Resolved: That the Several States Should Adopt Legislation Providing for Compulsory Unemployment Insur- ance was an especially appropriate topic to debate this year. The affirm- ative team consisted of Helen DeSmidt and Frank Gotch. Arlene Reasoner and Lilian Arent composed the negative team. Betty Ross acted as a very willing and interested alternate. The teams held a number of non-decision debates with Fort Dodge and Eagle Grove high schools. These debates were undoubtedly beneficial, for they afforded the practice which both teams needed before competing in the state debates. Employing the triangular system of debating, Humboldt, Fort Dodge, and Rockwell City held the first round of the state contest on February 4. The Humboldt affirmative team went to Fort Dodge, where they debated and lost with a decision of 3-0 to the Fort Dodge negative team. In Hum- boldt our negative team Won over the Rockwell City affirmative with a 3-0 decision. On Feb. 19 the second round of the state contest was held by Humboldt, Sac City, and Rockwell City. The Humboldt negative team defeated the Sac City affirmative at Sac City with a 2-1 decision. At Humboldt the affirmative defeated Rockwell City by 3-0. The third round of the state, the district contest, was held by Sac City, Storm Lake, and Humboldt, on Feb. 25 . At Sac City the Humboldt affirmative team lost 2-1 and at home the negative team won from Storm Lake 3-0. Fort Dodge, with 13 points to her credit won over Humboldt who received 12 points. Storm Lake, with eleven points, took third place. Rockwell City and Sac City each received six points, and Pocahontas five. page tbiriy-eigbl r 11?-' -vi ,i ft. i bi- -' -' E , PEDAGOGICAL CLUB l ,Back Row-Esther Petersen, Lila Yocum, Roberta Bastian, Marian Cook, Mildred Nelson, Mildred Nervig, Charlotte Johanson.

It is made up of students taking the Normal Training Course with a view toward teaching after graduation. According to the constitution, the president and vice president of the club must be members of the senior class and the secretary, a member of the junior class. This year Ione Tellier was president, Marian Cook, vice president, and Doris Berkhimer, secre- tary-treasurer. V The meetings of the club were held on alternate Monday evenings. The programs were planned by committees of three members each appointed by the president for each succeeding meeting. ,The members of the com- mittee made attractive invitations for each meeting, designed to impel the girls to hear the program, and to serve as souvenirs of the meetings. The girls themselves frequently appeared on the program with a read- ing, the review of a professional book, or a musical selection. An outside speaker, usually a grade or high school teacher, appeared on nearly every program. Two rural teachers, formerly members of the club, talked to the girls and presented some aspects of the real situation in a rural school. The program committee frequently considered itself a social committee and at the close of the meeting served light refreshments, consisting of candy, cake, or cookies. The Post-exam Jubilee, sponsored by the Pedagogical Club, was a very timely affair for it came right after the mid-year exams and afforded a nice change for everyone. Each year the proceeds from this celebration are used to purchase some useful article for the school. This year they helped pay for a set of books, The Outline of Knowledge for the library. page thirty-11i11e ll' 0 , ' if i to BEL CANTO GLEE CLUB Brick Row-Mrs. Engquist, Rosalind Berkhimer, Arlene Ross, Grace Trauger, Mary Jane Myles, Frances Bow- man, Florence Funk, Margianne Coyle, Lilian Arent, Maxine Lothian, Lenore Snitkey, Marjorie Chamber- lin, Genevieve Sherman QAccompanistj.

The Bel Canto Glce Club boasted of thirty-one junior and senior girls who had had some musical training previous to their admission into this organization. The club met every eighth period on Mondays and Wedilesdays, and accompanied by Genevieve Sherman and directed by Mrs. Engquist made splendid progress. Attractive uniforms consisting of white dresses with pretty green jackets were chosen by the girls this year. This group sang for local organizations during the year and helped present a most pleas- ing cantata, The Manger of Bethlehem for the special Christmas assembly. On March 23 and 24 the girls helped produce the operetta, The Belle of Havana, undoubtedly the most difficult musical undertaking that our high school has ever undertaken. Two members of this group, Florence Funk and Grace Trauger, were chosen to repre- sent the glee club in the District Chorus, a chorus consisting of over two hundred voices and directed by Mr. Nobel Cain, a nationally known director of cappella music. The Bel Canto Glee Club is an organization of which our high school can be justly proud. GIRLS' SEXTETTE The Girls' Sextette consisted of a group of girls selected from the Bel Canto Glee Club. They were accom- panied very ably by Mary Jane Myles. These girls were always ready to serve and became very popular among the local organizations. The versatility of this group made them capable of very satisfactorily presenting an entire pro- gram. page forty W . , ' 'V 5' BOYS' GLEE CLUB Bark Row-Virgil Giddings, Merle johnson, Norris Wtmgen, Denton Snyder, Delmar DeSmidt.

The Boys' Glee Club consisted of twenty-two members whose voices showed the result of earlier training. Throughout the year this organization contributed numbers for var- ious programs. They assisted in the presentation of the Christmas Cantata presented at our assembly in December. They also helped to make a success of the operetta. Esther McCol- lough proved an efficient accompanist. The glee club was represented at the District Chorus by Denton Snyder who sang bass, and Oliver Coyle, tenor. The boys frequently made their appearances attractive by wearing gold sweaters and dark trousers. Upon more formal occasions the sweaters gave way to coats, but the uniformity of color in the suits and ties gave the effect of uniforms. Admission into the Boys' Glee Club did not mean permanent membership. A good voice was a valuable quality, but proof of a desire to be prompt at all practices, and a willingness to cooperate were deemed just as essential. Every boy in high school who can sing should strive to become a member of this splendid club. BOYS' OCTETTE The Boys' Oetette consisted of eight members of the Boys' Glee Club. Esther McCullough provided splendid accom- paniment. The group responded to sev- eral requests from local clubs and from the high school Assembly Committee. A boys' chorus is always appreciated and this oclette did not stiffer from unpop- ularity. page forty-one P 'iff 4 'N -L.

THE BELLE OF HAVANA' Under the direction of Mrs. Edna Hall Engquist Miss Audrey Burns Miss Vera Sterner Genevieve Sherman-Accompanist THE STORY Don Jose, head of the prominent family of Ramona, is in America, seeking aid for the Cuban cause. During a carnival, a crisis is precipitated when Antonio, a mercenary of the Spanish offi- cer, Vilianos, arrests a boy for shouting, Cuba libre! Dona Ramona demands that he let the child go and Nat Stirling, an American visiting in Havana, lays hold upon Antonio, who reveals that Vilianos, in love with Anita and Esteban's worst enemy, plans the down- fall of the Ramonasg he has evidence that they are plotting against Spain. Midst great holiday revelry, Anita is proclaimed Queen of the Carnival, but she soon assumes the disguise of a man spy, Pedro Lopez, in order to mislead Vilianos. Esteban, the victorious matador and hero of the day, parts from his sweetheart, Maria, torn between his love for her and his love for Cuba. The Spanish soldiers are led into a trap by Anita, and Antonio, never Very loyal himself, persuades them to renounce Spain and join the Cuban patriots. Vilianos is captured by Esteban. ' Nat and Anita continue their nuptial plans, regardless of the fact that Vilianos has cs- caped, and may strike at any moment. Don -lose arrives home just in time to bestow bless- ings upon Anita and Nat. Vilianos suddenly appears, to explain to Anita that he has been transferred to Santiago, and that he will never again raise his hand against the Ramonas. Maria and Esteban are reunited. ,bageforiy-1100 if .i MOONLIGI-IT ON TI-IE PATIO E1 ll aylll ' 1, rg x al l -L: .sage - 'J' Back Rauf-Grace Trauger, james Coddington. Frou!

Each year the commercial department becomes a member of the State Commercial Contest Association for the purpose of participating in a series of typing events. Compe- tition is on a team basis, a team being composed of three members. On April 18, 1932, the novice typing team composed of Lilian Arent, Geneva Baldwin, and Mary Jane Myles, Won first place in the Sectional Contest at Fort Dodge, thereby bringing to Humboldt High School an I. C. C. A. traveling trophy for the year's keeping. This served as an added incentive for this year's team and alternates to make an added effort to take first place in the Sectional Contest at Fort Dodge, on April 23. Three years' successive possession of this trophy means permanent possession. Last year's amateur team, composed of Mildred Friesth, Mildred Peterson, and Dorothy Saxton, placed third in the Sectional Contest. This year, Lois Shepard, Florence Funk, and Geneva Baldwin formed the amateur team and won third place. Lois won fourth place in speed. Arlene Reasoner, James Coddington, and Nellie McFarland composed the novice team, Vfinners of first, second, and third places in the Sectional Contest were privileged to compete in the State Contest held in Des Moines, May 14, at Hotel Fort Des Moines. Beginning with Education Week and continuing until the end of the first semester, the Loyalty Club sponsored :x scholastic contest. At the end of that period of time the averages of the daily grades in all classes were taken. The fourth period junior typing class, which was taught by Miss Sterner, won the COHRCSI with a class average of 93. page forty-six - l'll'Wu . . i i. -. i r. 55' ill l 'T '.

The Humboldt Chapter of the Future Farmers of America was organized in November, 1930. There are now twenty-three members, fourteen Future Farmers, and nine Green- hands. One of the many activities sponsored by the Chapter was the County Grain and House- hold Show. It was with the cooperation of the Junior Chamber of Commerce and the Humboldt County Farm Bureau that it was possible for this show to be held. The Hum- boldt merchants aided us by contributing cash and merchandise for the financial success of the show. There were eighty-three exhibitors in twenty different classes. We feel that in the next few years we will have a County Grain and Household Show equal to any in the state. Among the projects for this year were: dairy calves, dairy cows, swine, baby beeves, draft Colts, corn, and potatoes. During the last week in February five purebred Hamp- shire hogs were purchased by agricultural students. The financial aid for the purchasing of these hogs was obtained through the local banks. The Vocational Agriculture department has doubled its enrollment in the last two years, and we feel that this is substantial proof that the public has increasing faith i11 agriculture. The boys had the privilege of going to Ames on March 19 to broadcast the following fifteen minute program: -Hanes 4: Introductions .. .... ..... ,,,. V. Giddings Vocal Solo ...........,, S.

The Cecilian Glee Club was made up of thirty-three girls who were desirous of becoming members of the Bel Canto Glee Club. Splendid accompaniment was furnished them this year by Esther McCollough. The girls met every Friday for practice. They also did their bit toward making a success of the Christmas Cantata. Preparatory Glee Clubs The Girls' Morning Glee Club was made up of girls interested in becoming members of the Cecilian Glee Club or the Bel Canto. They were accompanied by Wiiinifred Thompson and met every other Tuesday morning. The Boys' Second Glee Club met every Tuesday morning and was accompanied by Win- nifred Thompson. These boys were interested in either gaining admission to the first glee club or who, having once belonged to the first glee club and shown themselves unworthy, were trying again by making a fresh start. TI-IE LITTLE ORCHESTRA The Little Orchestra, comprising a group of students selected from the large orchestra met every Friday morn- ing at 8:15 for practice. They were very efficiently directed by Mrs. Eng- quist. This year two popular selections were bought and practiced for the oper- ctta. The Little Orchestra played bc- tween acts both nights of the operetta and the class play and was enjoyed very much by its audiences. page fortygeigbt ,iff-,aw HE: . l, M .vi 1, 0 ,:5,,..5 ' y 1 ' .

INSTRUMENT CLASSES T In order to prepare students for membership in the orchestra, the service of two music masters was procured. Mr. E. F. Lochner of Fort Dodge came every Saturday to train those pupils desirous of learning to play st1'ing instruments. Mr. Arthur Bowlsby of Manson came every Vfeclncsclay and taught those learning to play wind instruments. I OUR COMPOSERS During the year Esther Mc- Collough and James Coddington entertained us with delightful two-piano duets which we appre- ciated very mueh. They played arrangements of well-known classics such as The Glow- Wormu and Morning', from Peer Gynt Suite. They also played arrangements of their own composition. It is to James that we owe the music of our new loy- alty song, and to Esther, the words. i f' W , W, 7 H 'Z NEI iii page forly-nirze Though we'rc scattered far, v Qiiyiiff Fx ' . . 31' .

Quai- ALL' ON THE SHORES OF LAKE NOKGMIS Cross-legged I sit by my campfire gazing with nn-seeing eyes into the glowing coals. Slowly the dying embers take shape and before me is revealed the whole of fairyland, and for several minutes the stage is alive with dancing figures. ' The sc-reech of an owl awakens me from my reve-rie, and I come back to the land of the living. I put -more twigs on the fire and roll u p in my poncho. My camp is on the sands of a beautiful lake shore. The new moon gives but little light, al- though its reflection on the rippling water lends a certain beauty to the scene. The lap of the water on the sandy shore makes a music all its own, like the plank plank of a lone guitar. The paved high- way of the heavens, the milky way, is clearly seen against the blackness of the night. Pine trees rise straight and tall like mighty sentinels keeping watch through the -night. I am alone in a world of my own 5 I have no cares and my thoughts are free. Wear'ily my eyelids droop, and I turn to gaze once more at the last glowing light of my fire. Slowly I slip into the arms of sleep and rest. A -Marjorie Munson page fifty-two 'W CHINESE PEARLS In the flowery days of prosperity we lived idly and .pleasantly in one of the exclusive apartment houses of a certain Californian city, dominated only by our own interests and Jim. Jim was American to us children for the tongue confusing Loy Fing Poy, the Christian name, fno, I guess he was a heathenj of the little man who spoiled our soup every night, but who also made me a life-long friend in the culinary field of chop suey, rice cakes, and tea, was entirely too difficult for the family to attempt. A peculiar combination-old Jim-of nurse maid, playmate, pal, cook, and master of our brand new electric sweeperg and at my age of ten years a veritable hero, when he would take me and my sisters down to the beach and weave in and out of the crowds, past the smelly fish markets to a gorgeous oriental auction stall. There we would sit silently and big-eyed watching a little yellow man on the elevated platform, gesticulating enthusiasti- cally over some cracked piece of Chinaware- oriental stuff. Those yellowy, heady eyes gleamed and glistened with an under passion of self-satisfaction when some unwary Amer- ican would bid ten times its value for an old vase, or a pair of silk house slippers. just as silent as the rest, just as courteous, just as forbidding at times and vastly more entertaining was our own Jim with his little polite phrases and subservient exterior-he was my ideal. I was proud of the fact that he seemed to be somebody in that little orien- tal room and others of his race showed him a certain deference. It happened that Jim was a good friend of Joy Lee, a Chinese maid of Mrs. Harper, the wife of a distinguished and wealthy attorney of this city, who made her home in this same apartment house. Child-fashion we delighted in teasing Jim about joy, but every time the subject was mentioned Jim would become very quiet. For a whole day at a time, he would go about doing his work refusing to speak to us and seemingly oblivious to our presence. Mother would try to make us behave, for it was naturally very difficult to run a house- hold with a servant who became as strange as this man. Ati times, she grew very angry and would declare that Jim would have to leave, especially when he would go away and not return for two days, and leave us with two cans of baked beans. But Jim always remained, for' he was a jewel which, even mother would admit, we couldn't do without. I shall never forget one day when Jim had just returned from his afternoon off. Mother was seated before the fireplace reading poetry to my sister and me. jim came in, informed mother of his arrival, as was his custom, and then went to his room ..... This was the last we ever saw of him. Mother was reading The Raven to us when a ,piercing shriek came through the corri- dors. Letting her book slide to the floor, she rushed from the room, and we followed. By this time we heard a woman shrieking at the top of her voice: My pearls! My pearls! The sound came from the Harper apartment. Mother, being a friend of Mrs. Harper, opened the door and darted into the apartment. We followed as children will do. Mrs. Ha-rper, white and frightened, stood before her dressing table, dressed in a long velvet gown, one hand stretched out in front of her, with her eyes staring at the rings on her hand. joy stood beside her with a carved wooden case in her hand looking very perturbed and pale. She turned and started to slink from the room at our entrance when Mrs. Harper thrust out her arm and stopped her. joy, remain here! No one shall leave my sight until the police arrive. Mother pushed me aside and faced Mrs. Harper. Wl1at in Heaven's name has happened? Mrs. Harper lost her poise and self control and sank on a bench before the dressing table. They are gone! My pearls have disappeared! Mother gasped and gaining control of herself, replied, Really, Nell, you should pull yourself together. Come over here and sit down. Tell me everything that has happened, and perhaps something can be done. So between spasms of weeping Mrs. Harper told her story. She was preparing for a din- ner engagement with Roger, her husband, and had sent Joy to bring her rings and necklace page fifty-three 'iff i, 0 gm pn Q fx Q 'il 'M , 'ii .L from the vault, Joy had returned with the case which was locked and seemingly undis- turbed. Mrs. Harper had taken the rings from the box and then ordered Joy to open the separate 'compartment in which the pearls were kept, with a key, which she handed her. The case was empty! The rest of the story you have heard. The pearls had been gorgeous ones worth a small fortune and heirlooms of the Harper family. I will never forget those pearls. They were of an everchanging color,-first pink, then blue, now lavender, and at another glance white. The clasp was a peculiar one of pure gold molded to resemble the coat of arms of the English ancestors of the Harpersl. The police arrived on the scene very quickly. The rest of the proceedings are very faint in my memory. We were all questioned in the central reception hall. Every apartment, in- cluding ours, was searched, for it appeared to have been inside work according to the detec- tives who were placed on the case. But no necklace was found, no finger prints had been left. It appeared to have been one of the most cleverly planned robberies that had yet been committed in that city. When we returned to our apartment, we found everything in a mess after the search which the detectives had made. And, strange to say, no Jim was swiftly arranging things in their proper places as usual, for when we children even dropped a pin, Jim would always manage stealthily to pick it up. No! Jim was gone, having taken with him all of his pos- sessions! For some months this Chink was traced from one place to another, but he was never seen or heard of again by those who knew him. My people returned to the Middle West and life went on as usual. About fifteen years later, I had occasion to return to California and the land of sunshine. During the course of my visit I met an old friend. Our reunion was a happy one and be- cause we had not been together for several years, my friend invited me to her home. During our after-dinner conversation, we started to talk about eccentric people whom we held among our acquaintances. Suddenly my friend came out of her sleepy daze and said, Bets, did I ever tell you about a Chinese friend of mine? He is, perhaps, the most interesting fellow I know. Old and shriveled-but wait, I shall take you to see him, for he is so dif- ferent and well-grotesque that I know you will enjoy him. Naturally I was ready for all adventure. Before I realized the fact we were speeding through Chinatown. My pulse beat rapidly, and my heart thumped loudly as we drew up before a beautiful Chinese pagoda. Suddenly we had been transported to a second China in the heart of an American city. My friend proceeded to enter the building, stepping as she did so upon a thick rug that lay outside the door, a bell tinkled somewhere in the dis- tance. Through a small aperture in the wall a pair of wise old eyes gazed upon us. Swiftly and silently the door opened and we were admitted and taken through a long dark corridor to a gorgeous room furnished with oriental hangings and rugs. A shriveled Chinese man stood in the room. Through his slanting beady eyes, he closely observed me. His intent gaze sent shivers up and down my spinal column. Those eyes seemed to make an imprint upon my memory. Where had I seen them? Jane then introduced me to Lee Sing, the great king of the Chinese underworld. -After this announcement, he completely ignored me, and he and Jane kept up a steady conversation. Suddenly he turned to me and in perfect English invited me to be his guest at his Chinese art shoppe. I accepted, and we were led through dark passages to a lovely room lighted by hanging lanterns. Cabinets of lacquer and inlay work filled the room. Tall incense jars of brass and all the jim-crackery of the Orient stood about. I felt very honored to be the personal guest of Lee Sing. Meanwhile my friend informed me that this man was an importer of oriental jewelry, and that also along with his other jewels he had the most valuable collection of oriental pearls in the world. Japanese and Chinese pearls are irregular in shape. They appear like blotches of mass which are strung together. Usually they are unpolished. jmgefifly-f011r iv?-if -i i til Slowly he opened his vault and drew from it an odd yet beautiful Case. Lee Sing's eyes once again glisrened, and his yellow face seemed shiny in the pale light of the room as he unlocked the lacquered case and took from it a necklace of Chinese pearls which he handed me asking me to keep them in memory of this occasion. I caught my breath for a second.l just as I was going to thank him for the gift, my eye fell upon a gorgeous necklace of American pearls fastened with an exquisite gold clasp fashioned after. an English coat of arms. I looked up at the slanting glistening eyes peering at me intently from the shiny, yellow face-and nodded. -Helen DfSmidf THE EXTRA EDITION Ignatius drew his coat tighter and lowered his head into his collar. He didn't like the idea of sleeping down at the pier, the wind was sharp, and the moon was dimmed by clouds which meant snow before morning. Head to the wind, he shuffled along thinking and mumbling to himself. Ignatius was a typical tramp from the top of his torn hat to the soles of his worn-out shoes. His coat had originally been swallow-tailed, but one of the tails had long since de- parted and the other was now hanging on with a safety-pin and flapping violently in the April wind. There was no sign of a shirt under this excuse for a coat, but a red flannel' undershirt, the brightness dimmed by dirt, peeped below the cuffs. The baggy trousers were miraculously held up by a thin piece of rope, while the bottoms were so short as to show a pair of bare legs, red with the-cold. He wore no socks and no gloves, and though one toe had worked through the end of a shoe, Ignatius wasn't the least concerned. Only half an hour ago he had had his supper, which was really breakfast and dinner, too. It had consisted of cold coffee, and a chunk of dry cake, which had been given him at a miner's shack. The cake hadn't been half bad after soaking it in the coffeeg anyhow it was better than nothing. The gang was separating the next morning. It wasn't easy to think about, for they had been together a month, and a month to a tramp is a year to society. Ignatius really had a feeling of regret as he stumbled along, thinking thus, half aloud. It was slightly past nine when Ignatius slid into the pit and greeted, as he did, those already assembled with a cheerful, Hi, fellas! In the center of the pit a small fire burned, around which the bums were crouched. A few bothered themselves to greet him in return, and then lapsed into silence. The smile slid off Ignatius' face and a puzzled frown ap- peared on his forehead. Hey, you guys! I've got news for ya, he boomed. A tall slender man stepped from his position by the fire, his teeth bared as a dog's fangs as he snarled: Yea-ya wouldnit fool us, would ya, mister. Say, get this under your di- goard, guy. If it was food ya had fer us, every ting would be oke. Who wants ta listen to a guy' crack jokes when he's starving? Git dis-if you're gonna keep on being leader of dis here gang you're gonna git us grub! Ya bin gone all afternoon, fillin' yourself full, and don't' bring us nuttin'. Ya git it? It don't go wit us! Does it, fellas? An angry whine filled the pit, and as a body the gang rose. Retorts and sarcastic re- marks were flung at Ignatius. For a full minute he stood there unable to think clearly. Then he answered, Snap out of it, Butch! What's eatin' ya? Butch stood directly in front of Ignatius. A sneering grin twisted his face. Here's what's eatin' me! With a swift lunge he planted his hard fist on Ignatius' chin, and the latter crumpled to the ground, dazed. As he attempted to rise, Butch bent. over and grabbed the lapels of his coat. Shaking him until he was himself winded, Butchl growled, Now, clear out. I'm leader of this gang! G'wan-beat it! He shoved Ignatius from him, and strode back to the fire. The men in the pit were silent-not daring to speak or move. page fifty-five N 'Mfr -Q ' A-.1-mi. ' - . , ' 'if if -ly E.,,.,.g'- ,, - D- is. x'3:f-,L:4-i,,a- Ignatius staggered a few steps, stumbled, and would have fallen but three young men jumped up and caught him. Helping him to the edge of the pit, one whispered, A freight train passes in five minutes. Whistle when ya git on board. We'll be listenin.' See ya agin-'bye, palf' Half dazed, Ignatius stumbled up out of the pit to the tracks. He could hear the rumble of a train in the distance, and soon the headlight flashed its brilliant beam through the dense air. Swiftly the train was traveling toward him, and Ignatius shook his head to clear it. Something seemed to be covering his eyes, and as he passed his hand over them, he stumbled. The sudden impact of the steel rails forced all the air from his lungs, and Ignatius lay there unconscious. On came the train! The three hoboes in the pit heard the rumble of the train also, and as it seemingly passed over their heads, they strained their ears to hear the whistle. On roared the train, but no whistle was heard. The men were uneasy. He was pretty unsteady. So you 'spose something happened? Naw-he was jest winded. Didn't have time to git his breath. Yea--but he made that rule himself dat every guy should whistle when he hopped. I donit like it. Undecided the three stood silent and apart. The gang was tense. More than those three had realized that there had been no whistle. After two minutes had slowly passed, a young looking fellow rose. Say, fellas! Ignatius didn't whistle. Suppose something has happened? Shet up! Didn't I tell him to beat it? Why should he whistle? Butch twisted the boy's arm till he winced. Lay off, Butch! The three men at the edge of the pit spoke as one. We're goin' up and find out, and you're gonna go wit. Come on! At the tone of the speaker, Butch followed without a word. Slowly the four climbed? out of the pit, and in the darkness they stumbled toward the tracks. Suddenly Butch tripped, and with a grunt caught himself. What's that, Butch? came a sharp question, and a match was lit. In the flickering light they saw the mangled form which had been thrown far from thc tracks. The body was beyond recognition-only half remained-but by a trick of fate the face was left without a scratch. The puzzled frown was now permanently painted on the forehead, but a cheerful grin curved his lips, a rather grotesque combination. The sight was too much even for Butch. He clutched the arm of the fellow nearest, and for a moment his hard-boiled look was replaced by fear. I-Ie was a good guy, wasn't he? Then with a quick glance around, he again assumed the natural expression. Come on, you guys, we gotta scram. Snap into it! Get into the pit. The gang's gotta clear out of here. Beat it! And as they started forward, he snarled as an after thought, And keep mum! If you squeal, I'll do the same ta you! Half an hour later not a sign of the gang remained. It was late the next afternoon that an extra edition of the newspapers announced: UEXTRA! EXTRA! Mangled Body of Famous Psychologist Found In Union Freight Yards! The body of Ignatius M. Waldron, Ph. D., the world's outstanding psychologist of today, was found late this afternoon in the Union Freight Yards by brakemen. The body was mangled beyond recognition, but by a peculiar twist of fate the face was left un- marred. The body was identified by several professional men, and Waldron's fiance, Miss Mary Thornkill. Miss Thornkill stated that for the past several months, Waldron had been leading a tramp's life in preparation to writing a book on their existence. Mr. Waldron was undoubtedly killed by an oncoming train. --Glen johnson page fifty-six .WW . i .Q- if' , T ff TQ Q . SUNNY DAYS D. OF D. DAY, 1931 It's the fever makes me talk so, was a familiar phrase in the corridors on April 30, 1931. It was D. of D. Day and all of the old members were armed with suspended gum drops which had a peculiar effect on the ini- tiates and caused the repetition of the above apology. Charming UQ ensembles, consist- ing of kimonos and romeos or mules, adorned the meekly suffering new members. Three Pills in a Bottle, a one-act fantasy, was pre- sented for the assembly. The program for the banquet the same evening carried out the theme of the play. It was as follows: Tony .......................................... Jane Bellows Haughty Gentleman .....,.......,....

The seniors, school board members and their wives, and the high school faculty were en- tertained at a six-thirty, under-the sea din- ner. King Neptune's kingdom was the scene of the rendezvous. Charming mermaids, a blinking old octopus, innumerable fish, shadowy green lights, festoons of moss and sea weed, the ruins of an ancient ship-wreck, clam shells, coral, and an aged star fish fur- nished a realistic oceanic effect. As the guests enjoyed the following sea foods, music was played by the Sea Sirens: Shrimp Cocktail with Fish Food Escalloped Water Fowl Creamed Herbs Sprinkled with Seaweed Buttered Gold Fish Alligator Peach Salad Sea Foam and Sponge Nectar and Ambrosia The program was worked out in the form of an original poem telling of the visit of mortals to King Neptune's palace.

The guests scattered immediately in small groups and explored every nook of the woods, while the faculty prepared the Heats. After a number of intensely active CU games, the picnic ended with a song fest. CLASS BREAKFAST The senior class and the faculty members 'were entertained by the mothers of the sen- iors at the T. G.

CLASS PICNICS The annual freshman picnic was held on Wednesday evening, October 14. Although eating required most of the time, games, stories, a short program, and class yells also furnished entertainment. Camp fire singing closed the evening. Chamberlin grove was the place chosen for the sophomore picnic, which was held on Oc- tober 14, also. Games were played until dark and then everyone gathered around the huge bonfire and enjoyed weiners, buns, apples, cookies, and marshmallows. The juniors met at Gauger's woods for their class picnic on Tuesday evening, Octo- ber 5. Games and the initiation of the new class members filled the first of the evening, while the consumption of weiners and their accompaniments later required much atten- tion. Songs were sung to conclude the picnic. gif t' fi 11- Y V SUNNY DAYS On October 12, the Seniors journeyed to Newberry grove where, regardless of a per- sistent drizzle, everyone had a good time. It was a gypsy picnic and the climax was reached when Miss Osia was proclaimed Queen of the Senior Gypsies, and appro- priately crowned with a crown of weiners. Charades, fortune telling, and campfire sing- ing, led by Mr. Swanson completed the pro- gram. LOYALTY CLUB INITIATION A formal initiation for the nine new Loy- alty Club members was held in the home of Denton Snyder on October 28, 1931. The Constitution was read and the names of the new members were added. Inspirational talks were given by Miss Arent, Royal Bennett, Esther McCollough, and Miss Sterner. Music was furnished by James Coddington. Games and refreshments concluded the evening. FOOTBALL FEEDS The first football feed of the season was given by Mr. W. F. Hopley at the North Side Cafe on November 26, after the Webster City game. Mr. Crissey, Mr. Garbett, and the entire squad were entertained, and re- ported a very enjoyable time- filled with plenty of duck. A 6:30 turkey dinner was served at the Giddings home by Mrs. Giddings and Mrs. Nordstrum on Monday evening, November 30, in honor of their sons, Virgil Giddings, and Frank and Stanley Nordstrum. After the dinner, Virgil acted as toastmaster and Mr. Garbett, Byron Shepard, Dick Holt, Mr. Crissey, Mr. Swanson, and Frank Nordstrum gave short talks. The evening ended with singing of the Loyalty Song. EDISON LIGHTS PARTY An informal Christmas party was held in Mrs. Engquist's room on December 18, by the newly organized Edison Lights science club. A surprisingly shocking initiation cere- mony was administered to all of the members by Mr. Crissey. The gift exchange revealed numerous unusual twenty-five cent com- modities, and caused much hilarity. Miscel- laneous refreshments were furnished by the aspiring young scientists. Mr. and Mrs. Cris- sey chaperoned the party. ALUMNI BANQUET On Monday evening, December 28, 1931, the Alumni Banquet was served in the Meth- odist church. After the 6:30 dinner, a short business meeting was held, during which new officers were elected.

First prize for the stunts was awarded to the Assembly Com- mittee and the Edison Lights Club and Future Farmers tied for second place. page fifty-nine H. :Fill 'L Jiwr- ' l 'l',1L', Fil 'Kill to - A . -'Z sf' lkiib A Y .wiv Y..-5--rg H931- ...- ' SUNLIGHT AND SHADOWS Aug. 31-Beginning of the end for Stalwart Oaks.

LIAROLD HOLLAR Harold made his way into the I-I. Club this year by being manager of the basketball team. He should be highly complimented on his excellent work. VIRGIL GIDDINGS Virg played end on the football team. A consistent player with lots of fight. Virgil was also a wrestling and track man. RICHARD SCI-IULTZ Rich, a freshman, started out by mak- ing two letters in his freshman year. He was a dependable, shifty half-back and showed great ability on the basketball floor. Rich has great possibilities ahead of him if he will take advantage of them. ROBERT SCHULTZ Bob has only entered into one sport, and that is track. He has been very prominent in the dashes and on the relay team. SHIRLEY WESTFALL Shirley, after an absence of two years, again came out for football, and succeeded by constant good work in making a letter. DERALD ROXVE Rowe came out for football this year, new to the squad, and made good. PAYE BERRIER Beale, a senior, was one of the best all- round athletes that has ever represented Humboldt. As captain, he was a battering page sixty-six ram at quarter-back and a hard, sure blocker. Faye leaves an excellent basketball record which he made during his three years of competition, he also has taken many honors in track. EDWARD POWERS Boots, a junior, had little difficulty holding down a field position on the base- ball team. Boots' style of playing is liked by all. MAURICE CALLAHAN Kelly, a sophomore, playing his first year on the gridiron as a regular end, exhibited outstanding work. His ability to catch passes, his sure blocking, and hard tackling should bc of great benefit to next year's team. DNWIGI-IT LENNON Dwight, a junior, made his letter in base- ball. Hc is a dependable fielder and a sure hitter. RICHARD HOLT Dick', was one of the best half-backs in the state. His spectacular runs, hard block- ing, and tackling was dreaded by all oppon- ents. In track Dick excelled in the dashes. This being being his final year, he will be greatly missed by coming teams. GLEN JOHNSON Johnny made his way into the H. Club last year by exhibiting good work in track. He was a 440 yard dash and a relay man.

FRANK NORDSTRUM Nordy, a senior, gave both football and basketball his very best. His swift off-tackle runs and sharp eye for the basket made the opponents in both fields fear him. He was captain of the basketball team. He is also a letterman in baseball. NORRIS WOGEN Norris finished his last year of athletic competition by constantly giving his best. Norris did his share as guard on the football team to make the season a success. Norris is also a wrestling and baseball man. MERLE JOHNSON Murph, a junior, was an outstanding forward on the basketball team. His dead- basket eye and floor work ability brought him many compliments. He was also substi- tute end and half-back on the football team and pitcher on the baseball team. DON DeGROOTE Don, a sophomore, is not only a tackle 011 the gridiron team and a catcher on the baseball team, but holds down a guard posi- tion on the basketball team. His accurate basket eye and natural basketball ability should be of great value to the coming team. DELMAR DCSMIDT Ike, a junior, showed great ability as center on both the football and basketball teams. His height gave him an advantage of which he made good use. Ike can add track to his list as he is an outstanding high- jumper. I BYRON SHEPARD Shep, a senior, has exhibited a style of football which all opponents dread. His hard, sure tackling and blocking helped him secure one of the tackle positions. LORIMER HERRICK Porky, because of the age limit, has finished his track career. He succeeded in bringing in points constantly in the broad- jump and did his share on relay teams. STANLEY NORDSTRUM Skin, a- junior, and playing his second year of football, held down the blocking-half position with very little difficulty. He backed up the line only as few other men could have done. KENNETH HALVERSON Kenny, a junior, made a letter in wres- tling and would have aided considerably if wrestling had been promoted this year. BOYS' BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT The boys' interclass basketball tournament, which has always concluded the basketball season, again provided its usual amount of excitement. Those who were unable to get ac- tion on the regular team found plenty of chances to display their skill here. The juniors won the tournament after they had defeated the sophomores 42 to 32 and the freshmen, who had defeated the seniors 29 to 26, by a 37 to 18 score. The sophomores won the consolation by defeating the seniors 33 to 21. THE MEN WE BUILD Crash, The season's co1ne- The banners fly- The Kids all cheer. Our eleven of the Gold and Blue Are fighting for a score- The football season's on F lash, Another game's begung The whistle's blown- The ball is passed, A dodge-a whirl-a score is made. The crowd goes wild- Yes, basketball is here. Boom, The starter shoots- The race is on- Urged on by cheers Muscles straining toward the goal. The tape is down Track now takes a bow. Hooray, We cheer them on They're heroes all. Yet more than that and deeper still The MEN we make By standards set In dear old Humboldt High. -Denton Snyder page sixly-sc' Ven .P 'l'Iif il, W1 , Av' in 'E X , -. H . -9--. - '.'- -N.

The most outstanding event in girls' athletics was the girls' interclass basketball tourna- ment. Each class was represented by a team which was chosen by the girls' physical train- ing director, Miss Dunn. The junior team won the tournament by defeating the sophomores 16-6 in the first round and the seniors, last yearls winners, 13-11 in the finals. The junior team was made up of Marjorie I-Ielvick, Maxine Westfall, Eleanore Paulson, Helen Gruener, Frances Bowman, Ruby Madsen, Wiixiiifred Thompson, Frances Johnson, Edna Ritter, and Lila Yocum. Last year's winners, the seniors, had to be satisfied with second place. After defeating the freshman girls 53-0 in the first round, they fell before the juniors in an exciting, final battle 13-1 1. Overconfidence seemed to be the deadly weapon. The team was composed of Lilian Arent, Roberta Bastian, Wiimnifred Tellier, Miriam Burns, Esther Bakke, Rosalind Berk- himer, Anna Martin, and Beulah Morgan. The sophomore and freshman teams were as follows: sophomore: Harriet Mayer, Ruth Share, Viola Joiner, Leone Johnson, Marjorie DeGroote, Vivian Gorrell, Yvonne Jocnks, Lillian Torkelson, Hazel Lehman, Lois Looney, and Arlene O'Donnellg and freshman: Alice Rossing, Anniee Blomker, Betty Ross, Doris Mitchell, Pauline Berrier, Evelyn Nervig, Gen- evieve Berkhimer, and Geraldine Shockley. An all-high school team was picked by the tournament officials, Mr. Garbett and Mr. Crissey. For forwards they picked Rosalind Berkhimer, Esther Bakke, and Maxine XVestfall. Marjorie Helvick, Lilian Arcnt, and Marjorie DeGroote proved stars at guard while the star jumping centers were Roberta Bastian and Frances Bowman. According to the officials, Winnifi'ed Tellier and Eleanore Paulson lead the running centers. The girls of the class of '33 were the second group to have their names engraved on the cup, the girls of the class of '32 being the first.

The rhythm class, under the direction of Miss Sterner, was created this year to fill a long- felt need among the girls for this form of physical education. The class is open only to senior girls. The purpose of this class is two-fold: to furnish material for more artistic productions of dances in the various plays and operettas given during the year, and even more important, to try to create an appreciation of the expressions of music through the movements of the body by helping them to feel the true rhythm of various kinds of music. In addition to the rather strenuous body exercises designed to strengthen the muscles of the body and the arm exercises designed to promote graceful carriage of the arms along with expressive use of the hands and head, the class studies Russian ballet technique, and Grecian dance combinations to give lightness and rhythm. Natural, interpretive, and folk dancing adds real zest to the class work. Because so few of he girls in high school have been 'able to really feel the rhythm of music, special attention has been given to accurate interpretation of all types of musical rhythm through connected movements of the body. The girls have profited much because of the special direction given them. The rhythm class is an inspiration to the underclass girls. Few people realize the long- ings of those who can not feel the true rhythm of music to be able to enter a class where attention is given to that very thing in which they need extra assistance. Because of the reaction given this class in its first year, it is figured that it is very worth while and will become more so in the coming year. Genevieve Sherman was the accompanist for the class. page xixfy-rlim' I ipjjgllif -rm, lk-Lie., j-.A ll. 111, ' fe Q1 fl 1 n I4 TRACK 119311 The track team, under the supervision of Mr. Crissey, won third in the County Track and Field Meet, and placed two men in the North Central Six Track and Field Meet. The participants winning points for the team were as follows: Herrick, fourth in broad jump in North Central Six and second in broad jump and third in the 22-yard dash, Nick Olson, second in discus throw in North Central Six, Shepard, first in broad jump in county meet, Merle Johnson, third in the half mile run in county meetg Glen Johnson, third in 440-yard dash in county meet, and Berrier, first in 220-yard hurdle and third in discus throw in the county meet. Humboldt also placed second in both the mile and the half mile relays. BASEBALL 119311 Baseball, in its second year as a major sport in Humboldt High, was directed by Coach Welch. The team had a moderately successful season, playing seven games and winning four. They defeated Bradgate S to 2, Thor S to 2 and 3 to 2, and Renwick 12 to 10, and lost to Paton 18 to 3, Gilmore 8 to 6, and Ottosen 13 to S. The game with Ottosen was fought todetermine the county championship. The traveling squad consisted of twelve members. They were: Watson, pitch, Don De- Groote, catch, Lennon, first baseg I-Iank Nordstrum, second base, Powers, short stop, Merle johnson, third base, Norris Wogen, Ira Eversoll, and Tubby DeGroote played field with Saxton, McCoy, and Miller the resources. Only three were lost by graduation, they were Watson, Tubby DeGroote, and Ira Eversoll. FACULTY BASKETBALL The men members of the faculty, Garbett, Crissey, Swanson, and Cogswell, decided that with the aid of a couple of more men they could have a basketball team. Bob Henderson was invited to join the faculty as assistant non-paid music teacher and John Klein as the assistant fireman. They scheduled two games. A game with Eagle Grove at Eagle Grove, they won 33-28 due to the wonderful exhibition of basketball exhibited by Garbett and Henderson. The home game was lost 41-36 due to Westra's CEagle's starj luck. THE PURPOSE OF ATHLETICS Basketball, football, track What does it matter which You engage in? The Object of athletics is Not to see how many Letters you can win Nor how many games, The idea is to teach you To play fair and be a Good sport, whether you Win or lose. It is more important to Learn the meaning of Sportsmanship than to win All the trophies in the world. -Gordon Eversoll page sezfwzly W . 02 , 9 ex ' .V 0 ip f - ,. if . fill. lg-ff' , ' f-'T 1 ' -.ang-cgfi, f,-- --61:0-3-v 4 I 5 -P' - '1' 'S Wbeli the day is done, We will forget there were slaadows Rflllfillbffiilg the sun.

C. ELLIS, Propriefor Humboldt, Iowa August 30, 1931 Dear -: No doubt, this is quite a shock to you, but - knows I can't help it. You see I have gone with Frank so long that it seems impossible to give him up. If you ever go with someone three years and then all at once quit and try to forget each other I'm sure you won't find it an easy matter. I realized I deceived you terribly and I am sorry. Really, I had no intentions of making up with Frank until Friday night. Until then I didn't think I could ever care for anyone but you- but something changed my mind. I hardly can see through it. I didn't know if I should believe all the things you told me or not. I was afraid that you had told every girl you ever went with, the same line you told meg I mean about never falling for anyone, etc. My suspicion was first aroused last Thursday night when you kept driving past the theater where Doris was and then you drove by her place and honked. This hurt me terribly, but to avoid a quarrel, I kept still. I realize I did a terrible thing by promising to go steady, but really you just swept me off my feet. I knew after I had promised, that we wouldn't be able to make a go of it. Please, , don't feel badly over me, be- cause I'm not worth it. You see I'm just a -- fool. If it was not too late I would be tempted to ask you to forgive me and start all over. But it is clear to me that you wouldn't want me now so good-bye and good-luck. I still care for you and always will, just P. S. I'll leave your watch at -, because I couldn't look you in the face and see your inno- cent brown eyes looking at a yellow pup like me. Please leave my watch there too. You have been wonderful to me and you are perfect in my esti- mation. Thank you for your kindness and only hope you'll always be as happy as we were the Sunday of our picnic. I'd enjoy hearing from you--Oh --, I'm a fool! I P. S. Can I have my purse too? Please!
