QDCUJ SCl LC5C7Q GPEHA On Tuesday, September 3, 1940, six hundred and sixty-one students en- rolled in the Mankato Senior High School, breaking all previous attendance records. There were two hundred and twenty-eight sohomores, one hundred and ninety-one juniors, two hundred and twenty-seven seniors, seven irregulars, live post graduates, and three specials. Arriving ten minutes ahead of time, students consoled each other on their common misfortune. The same six hundred and sixty-one students crowded toward the bulletin board to discover Assembly at 8:30. When all were seated in assembly, Kris stepped to the front and went through the regular routine: keep off the grass, go up the UP stairs, don't run in the halls and positively no sliding down the railings. From these instructions the students made their way to first hour classes, That is, everyone except one hundred and ten sophomores and new students who got lost in the rush. Second hour was spent twiddling thumbs, taking notes, and looking at the good-looking boy in the third row, second seat from the window. A ravenous feeling overcame the third hour classes, and teachers found themselves conducting a class of restless students, each keeping one eye on the clock. g After an hour and twenty minutes pause for refreshments, students returned to fourth hour class. A fourth, fifth, and sixth hour passed. A loud ringing bell, the rush of feet, the banging of lockers-and the building is deserted. There were baffled sophomores who would make the loudest noise at the foot- ball games, cocky juniors who knew what was wrong with the world and how to reform it, and sophisticated seniors who were always ready to have a good time. In the minds of all there lurked the horror of the other one thousand eighty hours left for attending school. ' Jlclmlnlfatnatloe afectclanb. Not a dictator but a counselor, not a teacher but a friend. For the past eighteen years Louis R. Kresensky has served as principal of Mankato High. During these years Mr. Kresensky, affectionately known as Kris, has become intricately interwoven with the traditions of the school. Acting in his capacity as principal, Kris wields the gavel that brings assembly to order and raises the two lingers that officially bring it to a close. He prides himself on the fact that he knows most of the students by name. His intense interest in people and their activities is evident in every organization in school, and each is better for his patronage. For the past ten years J. E. Anderson has occupied the superintendents office at Mankato High. Though we stand in awe of him, we respect and honor his advice. His reprimands and decisions, even when severe and irre- vocable, are just. Mr. Anderson really advises from experience. In his years as an educator he has run the gamut of the educational system-from student to superintendent-and in his own words has taught nearly every subject in the curriculum. His kindly interest and well-timed rebukes have sent many students on the path to a fuller and happier life: and now in later years they are proud to count him as a friend. lf you hear a quiet voice say Stay off the court house lawn, or You must refrain from throwing snowballs on the school grounds, you'll find that you've been listening to J. E. Anderson, superintendent of schools and friend of students. The Parent-Teachers Association again sponsored the traditional senior reception and furnished dessert for the junior-senior banquet. Mrs. J, F. Winn is president for the current year. Clgolllcmff fl'Vlalzen1.i LEFT TO RIGHT: Dr. S. J. Tillisch, F. A. Buschcr, William Stradrmann J. R. Snow, J. E.

Miss Linnea Sterling acts as co-sponsor of the junior class and sponsor of the G.A. Girl Reserve. Hi-Y uses up any spare time that the American history teachers, Willard Swiers and Reuben Talle, can find. Of course. the time Mr. Swiers spends on the Yell Club can't be counted as spare time. Philip C. Iverslie sponsors the Boys' Civic Club. Alois Kiefer coaches debaters, sponsors Hi-Y, and is co- sponsor of the National Forensic League. Are you wondering what college to attend or how to get a job? Or are you merely suffering from a headache? If it is either of the first two. visit Miss Esther Daniels or Harold Ostrem for some sound advice. If it is your head, go to Miss Lynda Billet, the school nurse. Miss Gwen Woller, her secretary, keeps a record of all these headaches for future reference. Miss Daniels also advises the Girl Reserve Council and the Sopho- more Home room Council. There is no one so sympathetic and at the same time so unyielding when you are late to class and need an admit as the office secretary, Miss Wilma Cote, known as Ticky to her friends. If you want to learn to speak or write well, there is a corps of teachers to help you. Besides teaching the languages, Miss Helen Osher and Miss Frances Klampe sponsor the French and German clubs. Miss Klampe advises the sopho- more class. Just to prove that she likes juniors, Miss Catherine Pinney is co-adviser of the junior class as well as junior English teacher for four hours a day. She sponsors the Sag En Girl Re- serve. At the beginning of the new semester, Miss Francelia Smith took up the reins of the Radio Workshop which Miss Nellie Olson dropped when she left for Arizona on leave for the rest of the year. Again this year, Miss Marjorie MacDougal advised the senior class, and successfully directed the senior carnival. Miss Irene Mehlhouse coaches declam entrants and class play casts. She is co-sponsor of the National Forensic League and sponsor of the Drama Club. In his Hirst full year at Mankato High. Clarence Glasrud has advised the Otaknam, the High News, and two Hy-Type magazines. He also sponsored Quill and Scroll and acted as tennis coac . unlnct the SDau, ancllfaflclluiacna Science, mathematics, and athletics form a major branch of education. If you don't believe it, ask C. J. Arnold, Curtis Johnson, Louis Todnem, Miss Catherine Cottrell, Miss Cecelia Allen, or Lerroy V. Jones. Maybe attendance problems have increased: at any rate Mr. Arnold dropped the sponsorship of the Yell Club. Coaches Todnem and Johnson work overtime with football, basketball, and track: Mr. Johnson also sponsors the Student Council. Miss Cottrell teaches the fundamentals of sports and sports- manship to the girls' gym classes and sponsors the Girls' Athletic Association. Miss Allen suc- ceeded Miss Anna Erickson as sponsor of the Girls' Civics Club and also sponsors the Phi Omega Girl Reserve. Mr. Jones keeps busy sponsoring Hi-Y, Chess Club, and acting as photography adviser for the Otaknam. Industrial arts, agriculture, home economics, and the commercial subjects-typing, shorthand and bookkeeping-are Mankato high school's contributions to vocational instruction. Besides directing work in the industrial arts workshops, David N. Ling is an active leader of Boy Scout work in the community. Ernest O. Bailey spon- sors the Mankato chapter of the Future Farmers of America and teaches scientinc methods of agriculture to boys. Early in the first semester of l94l, Miss Irene Pritz replaced Miss Ella McMasters as home economics instructor and sponsor of the Home Economics Club. Miss McMasters resigned to become Mrs. Robert Ibaugh of Peoria, Illinois. Many students who secure positions immediately after graduation owe their success to the tutorship of Miss Laura Johnson and Miss Cora Weum, who share the honors and worries of the commercial depart- ment. Miss Johnson sponsors the I-I.E. Girl Reserve. Miss Weum is treasurer of the student association. The arts-music, art, and literature-are Well represented at Mankato High by Karl Aaberg and Miss Vivian Klein, who direct instrumental and vocal music: Miss Margaret Ritchie, who selects and distributes the library books: and Miss L. Georgia Tate, the art, instructor, who also sponsors the Brush and Palette Club and acts as art adviser for the junior-senior prom. TOP, BACK ROW: C. J.

Presiding as president this year was Robert Rieke. Curtis Johnson supervises the actions of the group. The newest project undertaken by the Student Council was the Christmas assembly. Pre- vfously homerooms held individual Christmas parties. The day before Homecoming was successfully desig- nated as Hobo Day. Bill Edwards and Marjorie Groth, Winners of the Best Dressed Hobo titles on Homecom- ing Day, posed for the most important picture of all. The emancipation proclamation of February 12 freed the faculty, and the students reigned as teachers for the day. uncil is a truly democratic form f omccommci Jrltdliltcgltta A hushed assembly stood at atten- tion when the bugle call sounded at exactly 10:15 o'clock Friday morning, September 27. The high school band heralded the approach of her majesty, Bette Heinzman, queen of the Home- coming activities, and her attendants, Marge Winn and Kay Thro. The Yell Club president, Bob Barnett, played a game of heavy, heavy, hangs over thy head before that symbol of true roy- alty was tenderly laid on the tresses of Queen Bette. With festoons of crepe paper dangling from their mouths and draped over their arms, the decoration committees swarmed around the surrounding blocks like an invading army all afternoon. The Dump the Raiders of Curtis Johnson's homeroom won the prize for the best Homecoming slogan, while Miss Mehlhouse's hunters Pluggin' for Katol' captured the prize for the best decorated float. The Northfield Raiders were dumped at the evening foot- ball game by the Mankato Scarlets. After wearing out their lungs at the game, students and alumni all trotted over to the Union School to wear out their feet at the Homecoming dance, sponsored by the Mankato High School Hi-Y chapters. The camouflaged pluggers, Stanley Suttles and Robert Swenson, bluffed the judges for Miss Mehlhouse's homeroom and pulled in with the prize ..., His royal self, Bill Edwards, reminds himself of his title and refuses to respond with the hearty chuckles of his brother-in-trade behind the Men Working sign, Doc Hildebrand .... However, Fulton Bundy, Vince Neuman, Joe Smith, Rod Fleming, and Smiley Bob Kehner seem to be happy enough. . . . The band was pretty grim about the whole affair. mu1 - - cm. .,., ,w w Q Quill ancl Scroll SITTING: C. VanZwol B.

By this apprenticeship idea, next year's Otaknam staff will have some knowledge of the work that is before them. First plans for the yearbook were made last spring and completed in September. From September through April pictures were taken of every school club and organization. The rest of the year was spent in the writing of copy. In March slides were shown in the assembly demonstrating some of the pictures that would be in the annual. Students received the Otaknams in May. i Qtalcnam SITTING: L. Lloyd, class editor D.

A permanent constitution was adopted at a short meeting held in No- vember. In December, the club was entertained by LaPolichinelle, the dance of the wooden doll, given by Grace McFall and Gladys Sulflow, second year students. The story of the life of Saint Saens and musical records of his work were presented by Betty Sawyer at the April Meeting. Throughout the year, plays showing the mastery of daily lessons in classes were given by the French I and II classes. Plans were made for a bicycle hike in May. 'Korman ic cutlach Qeaen. The purpose of the Deutsche Gesellschaft is to study German culture and practice speaking the German language. In December new members were initiated and welcomed into the club. Bartlett McGuire presided as quiz-master at a January quiz program. The February meeting consisted of reports on Goethe, a German author, and the German composers, Schubert and Mendelssohn. Customs of the Swiss people were shown at a movie given in March. To become a member of the club, first year German students must obtain a and to retain membership the second year he must have a C average. ' The chance of Chuck Malloy, a great football Star, attending Dartford College threatened to pass when the player failed the history examination. Dr. Stubbs, the history professor, and Dr. Kimball, president of the college, are severe in their at- titude toward education versus football. Student football man- ager Jeff Sterling, anxious to have Chuck on the football squad, enlists the aid of Shirley, Dr. Kimball's daughter: Rose- mary Lee, attractive coedg and Gladys Miller, a music student employed as a maid by the Kim- balls. Rosemary persuades her cousin, Cuthbertf an excellent- student, to take the entrance ex-i amination for Chuck. . av The plot is exposed when Jeff, with Chuck, interrupt Dr. Stubbs as Cuthbert , Calias Chuckj is impressing the professor with- his profound knowledge of ancient history. Dr. Stubbs ac- cuses the president of beinggin league with the young people, and the insulted president fires the history professor. Having been informed by the plotting students that Chuck's Aunt Kate, an oil well millionaire, would endow the college with a new library if Chuck were admitted, President Kimball feels it is his duty to secure the funds. There are so many people trying to cooperate that the resultant confusion puts Dr. Kimball in a state of nerves. Proving she is neither Mrs. Stubbs in disguise nor Florence Ward, a maga- zine feature writer, Aunt Kate solves the prob- lems of everyone. Quincy Clgllaczea Dr. Kimball ........ ...,...

The club proved itself to be an asset to the school through its many Friday morning pep fests and enter- tainment between halves at various basketball and football games. On Home- coming Day, the Yell Club was in the background supervising the crowning of the queen, the parade, and the alumni program. Throughout the year the Yell Club president, Bob Barnett, and cabinet members sold red and white beanies and gave away white monogramed ribbons for identification at the district, regional, and state tournaments. The club was instrumental in secur- ing rides to the regional tournament at Worthington and .chartered a bus to take iifty students to the state meet in Minneapolis. . p Yell Club FIRST ROW: W.

Approximately sixty-seven active members practiced the fundamentals of the various sports and learned the true meaning of cooperation and sportsmanship under a capable sponsor, Catherine Cottrell. Round robin tournaments open the season's play in each of the major sports: Volleyball, basketball, kittenball, and tennis. Each team plays all the other teams twice, regardless of wins and losses. Teams chosen by Miss Cottrell competed in an elimination tournament to determine the championship team. As the tournament progresses, losing teams are eliminated until only two teams battle for top honors. aflwancl clllfinncnla Awards handed out by Miss Cottrell at the annual G.A.A. picnic in June climax the year's activities, This year Lois Lloyd, Pearl Miller, Jerry Peterson, Jean Rawson, Ruth Rawson, Eunice Ekstrand, Dawn Griffith, Myrtle Hansen, Willetta Brown, Gladys Sulflow, and Myrtle Ulman, all seniors, earned a city-wide emblem, the highest award. For participa- tion in any of the major sports a member receives one hundred points: if elected captain of a team, twenty- live points. One thousand points are necessary for a city-wide record and six hundred points for a letter. LEFT: S. Swenson, president: Miss Catherine Cottrell, sponsor . , 'Kato Jrlicyh Code hell Coming here four years ago, Coach Curtis Johnson has made for himself a record that is envied by many and glorified by his boys. He is assistant football coach and also coach of the Yannigans, the sophomore basketball team. Since his arrival, the Yannigans have won three successive Saturday Morning League titles and were undefeated this year. Football takes most of Coach Johnson's time during the fall months when he hardens the linemen and teaches the fundamentals to the sophomores who may be next year's stars. His teachings are seen in the victories of the team, as his second stringers consistently move up to fill the gaps left each year by graduating seniors. Coach Louis Todnem, one of the veterans of the school, has served 18 years as head coach at Mankato High. Starting in 1923, Coach Todnem has pro- duced basketball and football teams that have consistently made the upper brackets of the conference standings. The 1940 football season saw the Scarlets end up in a tie for second place. In basketball they tied for third in the confer- ence With a late season rally and Won the consolation title at the state tourna- ment. Coach Todnem's basketball teams are the only ones ever to win Big Nine Conference titles undefeated. This they have done twice. His equal may exist, but Louis Todnem is a coach whose record cannot be surpassed by any- one in this state. Qnidl .fectcllenla Elected co-captain for the 1940, football season, Smiley Bob Kehner had the job of holding down the tough man's post at center. He earned the position of center on the annual Big Nine Conference team. As Smiley's mate, Fat LaGow was one of the best friends any of the men on the team could have. He held down the fullback berth and was rewarded with a position on the Big Nine Conference eleven. Doc Hildebrand was the coaches' number one manager and tape man. Doc, where's the kit? was as familiar a cry as hike on the gridiron. Always a plugger, he is one of the linest managers any team or coach could ask for. qootballll WILMER AURINGER, guard The fellows called him PeeWee because he was the small- est lineman but one of the toughest in the conference. He got through the line like a panther and was one of the deadliest tacklers on the team. L EE BALL, quarterback Lee was small but very effective. He was everywhere that the opposition didn't want him. He attacked like a ton of bricks and ran as though possessed by a demon. JAMES BOWEN, end Jim was switched from half to end where he showed himself to be very capable. He was as fast as a deer and could snatch passes like a veteran. HERBERT BOLGER, tackle Herb was a mainstay in the Scarlet line, always crashing the opposition where it was toughest. He is a senior and will be missed greatly in next year's lineup. HERBERT BUZICK, tackle Herb worked like a Trojan all the time. Although he didn't see much action, he was a toughy on offense or defense. MAX DEBOLT, quarterback Mike was as tough and as smart a quarterback as any coach, could Hnd or want. He always played heads up ball and stopped many opponents from crossing the goal. His crisp, hard blocks will be missed next year. BLAINE EVANS, guard Blaine did not make a substantial showing until the end of the season, but when he did he was marked as one of the best guards Coach Todnem had. He will be back next year to bolster the Scarlets. RUSSELL FECHTER, halfback Russ was as good a back as any coach would want. Passing, punting, and all around ball-carrying were his strong points. He was rewarded for his work by the position of Hrst string halfback on the mythical Big Nine Conference team. DONALD FIELDS, guard Don's speed and agile tackling were two of the Scarlets' chief line threats. He probably caused more stretchers to be used by the opposition than any other player. ROBERT FRENCH, halfback Rock is only a sophomore but he played like a Veteran. He is a great runner and ball carrier as well as a good defensive man. He will be counted on for much of the Scarlet's ground- gaining next year. RAY HINTZ, end Ray was a regular who played his position like a stone wall. Few opponents gained around his end. He was elected co-cap- tain of the 1941 team. CO-CAPTAIN ROBERT KEHNER, center Smiley was the Scarlet's most regular regular this year. His line backing was always the heads-up, smashing type. His center post was really tough. He was rewarded with a lirst string berth at center on the Big Nine Conference eleven. YYH ,, -4 .fettenmen LOREN KLITZKE, fullback Klitz replaced the plunging man's post frequently through- out the season. He.was a deadly tackler and a great ball carrier. JOHN KNOEF, center Spook was a lanky, calm center with brains and plenty of drive. He was always in the thick of the scrap and always had a smile of encouragement for his teammates. ' CO-CAPTAIN LAVERNE LAGOW, fullback Fat was a brilliant light on defense because of his ability to tell where the play was coming and because of his deadly tackling. He also was rewarded for his efforts by being placed on the Big Nine Conference team. DEAN LOWE, quarterback Dean was a coach's dream, with six feet of hard, tough brawn to throw into motion. He was a demon on defense and a smart blocking back. PAUL NELSEN, halfback Paul was a silent man but could run the legs off the boys almost anytime. He was one of the Bombers who could be counted on to make things tough for the starters. KENNY O'BRIEN, halfback Whitey was the team's passer. He had the eye of a vet- eran and the throwing arm of a pro. He will be counted on next year to again make many of those goal-harvesting passes. JOSEPH SMITH, end Joe had little experience this year, but what he had showed him to be a great prospective end for next year. LYLE SPENGER, halfback Bud was the fastest man on the team and often cleared the way for Scarlet advances. He has been a regular since his sophomore year and will be missed next season. RICHARD SWANSON, tackle Dick was the biggest man on the squad and played heads up ball all the time. His visious tackling and hard blocking told opponents not to try his side of the line. JOHN TODNEM, center John was a very valuable reserve in his first year as a let- terman. His lanky, rangy form could always be seen where the light was the hardest. He is back to bolster the 1941 Scarlet lineup. RICHARD WEECH, end I Dick had a great background for his post at end. He was tough and a great defensive man. His efforts brought him a Co-captain's berth on next year's eleven. KENNETH WINKLER, halfback Ken was as .fast as a deer and was one of the squad's chief pluggers. He is another who will be missed next year. FIRST ROW: L. Hildebrand, H. Lloyd. L. Ball, D. LaC1ow, C. Peterson, D. Krick, J. Jorgenson, K. XVinkler, D. Green, R. Gilbertson, C. Kusche, J. Thompson.

Seanla qniclmcn -1940 State Playing host to Blue Earth on September 13 after three weeks of gruelling drill, Coach Louis Todnem started a team of ten seniors and one junior which won their opening game 7-0. The team consisted of Jim Bowen and Ray Hintz, the only junior, ends: Dick Swanson and Herb Bolger, tackles: Don Fields and Wilmer Auringer, guards, Co-captain Bob Kehner, center: Mike DeBolt, quarterback: Russ Fechter and Lyle Spenger, halfbacks: Co-captain Fat LaGoW, fullback. Displaying a fast-charging line and speedy backs, the Scarlets downed a scrappy Waseca eleven 19-6 on September 20 at Waseca. LaGow played the outstanding role, making two touchdowns, with O'Brien scoring the third. Opening large gaps in the Raiders' line for the speedy, hard-driving backs, the linemen turned in their best performance of the season, defeating Northfield 27-6 in the Homecoming game on September 27. The Scarlets scored three times in the first half with Bowen, Fechter, and Spenger each acco-unting for one touchdown. The reserves dominated the game in thesecond half, and the visitors scored once. However, Mankato scored again later on a forward double lateral pass from LaGow to Hintz to DeBolt to Spenger, who went over for the final tally.- On October 4 the Scarlets traveled to Albert Lea for their second confer- ence tilt. Outplayed in the first half, the Redmen returned in the second half to increase a 7-0 lead which they had received in the closing minutes of the first half on a pass from O'Brien to Fechter. Bowen scored once on a pass as did Fechter during the secondghalf, making the final count 20-0. O'Brien's pass- ing was an outstanding feature of the game. The Homecoming Kings went to Rochester on October 1 1 for their fourth homecoming game of the season. Russ Fechter was the star of the game, setting up all the touchdown plays and making one himself while O'Brien and LaGow counted two more to make the final score 18-0. Playing rather sluggish football during the first half against Owatonna on October 18, the Scarlet warriors got going in the second half and scored two touchdowns on the same number of long drives. Fechter plunged over from the one-yard line to make both touchdowns. Spenger's kicks were good. The final score was 14-0. p J Cutplaying the Austin Packers all through the game which was played on Uctober 25, the Redmen suffered their first defeat, getting the short end of the 7-O score. Russ Fechter proved to be the star of the game as he tore through the Packer line time after time and outgained the whole Austin squad. The team as a whole played a good game. With Fechter and LaGow providing most of the excitement for the Scarlets and Dee and Mealey of Faribault doing the same for the Falcons, the Redmen tied the season's final conference tilt 6-6. The Redmen scored in the first half on a pass from LaGow to Fechter, but the kick for extra point was no good, making the score 6-0. It was a battle of defenses from here on until the closing minutes of the fourth quarter. The Falcons evened the score after a long drive. Again the kick failed, thereby tying Mankato and Faribault for second place in the Big Nine Conference. The Scarlets had four wins, one loss, and a tie for the season's conference competition. With a wet slippery field to play on, the Scarlets dropped their only post- season game to a speedier Fort Dodge, Iowa eleven on November 15, by a score of 32-7. Mankato's only touchdown came after a sustained drive of 55 yards. Spenger scored and kicked the extra point. Action on the qnidlinon Bowen snares a touchdown pass . . . Attention!

Kreykes ini Rabanne Council Uniting all the Girl Reserve groups of the Mankato High School is the pri- mary function of the Girl Reserve Council. In order that all the girls become better acquainted with the Girl Reserve Code, the council members decided to have a section of it explained at each meeting of the different groups. Council members, Girl Reserve presidents, and sponsors were invited to at- tend the Winona All-Girls Conference for highschool girls of Southern Minne- sota. Bernice Peterson, Evelyn Detjen, Phyllis Adams, Donna Herrley, Joyce Berndt, Joan Scherer, Lorraine Regnier, Midge Schultz, Bonnie Ferguson, Nancy Blomgren, Sada Haedt, Onnalee McMillan, Harriet Johnson, Marjorie Rinehart, Donna Petterson, Berneice Rash, Audrey Holmes, Betty Kieninger, Beverly Hoxie, Jean Lundin, Geraldine Peterson, and Miss Esther Daniels made the trip. The Girl Reserves were divided into three groups: a Christmas party for each group was sponsored by the council. Sag En played host to the Senior, H.E. and H.S. Girl Reserves, Sigma Epsilon to the B.P., Phi Omega, and Junior Girl Reserves, and G.A. to the Sophomore, and Nu-Tau groups. Celebrating the sixtieth anniversary of the girl reserves, the council gave a play and a puppet show at the March meeting of the High School P.T.A. Puppets dressed in the authentic costumes of Switzerland, Iceland, Russia, Great Britain, Sweden, Norway, France, Denmark, Hungary, Koren or Chosen, and America were manipulated by girl reserve members. The council's final project of the year was to entertain all of the ninth grade girls of Lincoln and Franklin schools in order to acquaint the girls with the high school girl reserve groups.

In their first conference game against Albert Lea on Friday, December 6, the score was tied 26 to 26 at the end of the game. In the second overtime period Albert Lea sank the winning basket. prains John Knoff and Russell Fcchtcr Still seeking their first conference Win, the Scarlets played host to a strong Faribault quintet on Friday, December 13.

But joining the army did not mean that Fat had to give up basketball. Soon after arriving in camp, he organized a team of his own, made up of fellow guardsmen including many former Scarlet stars. On Friday, January 24, the Redmen invaded Owatonna in search of their third conference victory but lost 32 to 29. The Braves led at the half 21 to 8, and a last minute rally failed to put the Scarlets ahead. Friday, January 31, found the Scarlets traveling to Austin. The Redmen trailed at the half but at the end of the third period led 32 to 26. A final rally by the Packers failed, and the final count was 39 to 36. With revenge in mind, the Scarlets beat the Albert Lea Tigers 24 to 18 on Friday, February 7. The Redmen led the scoring throughout the game.

His accurate pass- ing and speed, along with good de- fensive work. helped the Scarlets throughout the reason. ROBERT CONWAY, Forward Bob, though not a regular, has shown in practice that he can be a good man in both defensive and of- fensive work. Due to illness, he was forced to leave the squad in mid-season. BRUCE CROOKER, Forward Bruce proved to be one of the fastest boys on the squad this year. Although not a regular. he worked hard all season and showed his ability when he broke into the lineup. RUSSELL FECHTER, Forward Russ was not only a high scorer again this year but also a brilliant defensive man. Through his efforts the Scarlets won many of their games.

LOREN KLITZKE, Guard Klitz, who will be lost through graduation. has been a top reserve all season, He played outstanding ball in the second Albert Lea game and in the state tournament. RICHARD HOFFMAN, Guard Lefty became eligible the sec- ond Semester. Loss of his accurate shooting and good defensive work will leave a large gap for next year's team to lill. He proved to be a standout man in the state tourna- ment. JOHN KNOFF, Center Spook was a good leader and very effective in controlling re- bounds. His graduation will leave a hard position to till. He, also. was outstanding in the state tourney and sparked the Redmen through the regional tournament. JOHN NELSON, Forward Johnny was an exceptionally strong reserve. who will be missed next year. He helped the teani ku score many victories, turning in some of his best games in the tour- naments. KENNETH O'BR IEN, Forward Whitey was the only junior to make the first five. He led the team in scoring and has been elected by his teammates to lead the Scarlets next year. He was strongly consid- ered for the All-State team. VIRGIL POFAHL. Guard Virg has played good ball all year, especially on defense, and saw service at the state tourney. He will return next year to strengthen the Scarlet squad. JOE SMITH, Center Joe, who showed his best basket- ball against Red Wing and T.C. High, proved to be an outstanding reserve. He will be back with the Scarlets next year. LYLE SPENGER. Forward Lyle is another man who will be lost through graduation. He has worked hard all season and proved to be a good, hard-driving ball player. RICHARD SWANSON. Guard Big Dick could always be counted on for a good defensive game. His height aided him in getting the re- bounds. Because of his spectacular play, he was strongly considered for the All-State squad. JOHN TODNEM, Guard Johnny, another reserve, has shown up as a good. rugged ball- player, never allowing his opponent a dull moment. He, also. will be ba:k next season. dnnlcztdn Co meta Cliegntzlftie FRONT ROW: Coach Curtis Johnson, R French I. Brown, L. Hildebrand BACK ROW: A. Putnam, R. Wilson, D Philp H. Moulton, P.

It may be classified as a social and service club to promote Wholesome recreation, educational projects, and community service. Again as last year, there are four chapters, each separate, but all united by a council made up of representatives from each group. Three are divided according to class-senior, junior, and sophomore. The fourth, formerly called Noon Hi-Y because it was inconvenient for some boys to attend the evening meetings, is made up of all classes and now holds regular meetings under the new name of Eta Iota Epsilon. Meetings are held every Monday evening at the Y.M.C.A. either by chapters or -in joint session, depending on the program as planned by the program committees. Each chapter throughout the year carries out its own projects while the larger projects become the work of the combined groups. The fall Homecoming dance, held at the Union School September 23, was the most successful event of the year. Other important combination projects were the Lettermen's Reunion party and the Mother and Son's Banquet. Community, Scnuiec Outstanding guest of the year was Mr. A. Hugo Grassi, general secretary of the Continental Committee of South American Y.M.C.A.'s. Mr. A. B. Morris discussed The Present European Liberation at a joint meeting in De- cember.

During a famine in the past, the Great Spirit called for the sacruice of a virgin, and Necia, the chief's daughter volunteered. When she drifted over Niagara Falls in a canoe, the anger of the Great Spirit was appeased and the famine ended. When war is threatened by the Delawares, the Spirit of the Waters is ap- pealed to: again he demands the sacrifice of a virgin. Lelawala, daughter of Chief Wokomis, volunteersg the Council meets and she is chosen to die in the Thunder Waters. Shungela, although refused the hand of Lelawala, wishing to save her life, kidnaps her and Mabel. While Shungela sleeps, Eagle Eye, a white scout, awakens the maidens and they escape. The return of the girls is celebrated with dancing, but their joy is dampened when Marpeetopah, the medicine man, brings another Spirit message requiring the sacriice of Lela- wala the next day. On the' day of the sacrifice a messenger arrives with the news that the Wyandots have overcome the Delawares. Marpeetopah brings a message from the Great Spirit sparing Lelawala, and once more Chief Wokomis rules a happy and peaceful tribe.

The traditional Senior Carnival came to town in December. What A Life, a three-act comedy written by Clifford Goldsmith and based on the tribulations of the Aldrich family of the air, was the final dramatic production of the class. As the last month of school came to a close, the Parent Teachers' Association entertained the class at a last farewell party at the Y.M.C.A.

NOT IN PICTURE: NORMAN GRAMS: Senior Carnival. M .ff,lt'a All Gwen Clflow On Sunday, May 25, Baccalaureate services, which were held in the Lincoln Junior High School Auditorium, officially opened the week of graduation. The principal speaker, the Reverend J. Ross Colquhoun, pastor of St. John's Episcopal Church, spoke on God and the Modern World. Music was furnished by the Honorary Girls' Glee Club, directed by Miss Vivien Klein. As one hundred and ninety--seven seniors kept pace to the strains of Land of Hope and Glory played by the High School Orchestra, under the direction of Karl Aaberg, Commencement Day, Thursday, May 28, marking the end of senior week, began. Darrel Brady, foreign correspondent for the Minneapolis Star-Journal, who recently returned fromia world tour, spoke on Youth's Flaming World. The A Cappella Chorus, directed by Miss Klein, and the Orchestra furnished music as the seniors filed one by one to receive the reward for three years' labor-a diploma. Clam aflcllulzien The sharp wit and subtle humor of Miss Marjorie Mac- Dougal, senior class adviser, have endeared her to another senior A class. She successfully directed another annual Senior 'Carnival at Mankato High. Although, in her own words, she doesn't lose any sleep worrying over seniors, if any senior is in dif- ficulty she will do her best to help him. Miss MacDougal is looked up to and respected as a counsellor, a friend, and a teacher. Her English pupils marvel at her background of knowl- edge, and she is still a student herself-always seeking new knowledge. , ' if H., 'Mn 7 ,.V, ,I I P Waite Hana tn ,bf Wm . fHJ if gfjljl WM 7 Mk f f' ' ' - 'K A- , f -Lf , fff' .
