A step in the hall, a rap at the door, a bass Come in , and the principal of the M.. C. H. S., L. F. Meade, turned the knob, and the door swung open, Gilmore, seated at the desk, stroked his beard ab-sently. The identity of his visitor caused him suddenly to snap into reality. Well, Meade, 5 o'clock already? Close that door, turn the key, and my checker board is under the right hand comer of the rug. Some 15 minutes later, Cora J. Sundell, Florence O'Leary, and Ruben Nyquist, won- dered why persistent rapping upon the door, labeled, Hugh M. Gilmore, Superintendent of Schools, brought no results. Two years later, 1915, the same door was opened again, and L. F, Meade passed from it for the last time, and across the thresh- old strode F, M. Hammitt, new principal of the M. C. H .S. 1918-The sign above the door read: F. T. VASEY Superintendent of Schools It was the same year that James Ra-e first made his debut as Principal of the M, C. H. S. Under his capable management, the school has grown in size, branches olf learn- ing, and achievements. In 1924, whom should appear behind the office desk but Tommy D.

The graduating class filed in tlhrough the wide door, clad in its best-long rustling skirts, lace trim- mings, ribbons, starched collars, and new squeaky shoes. Four years of work was concluded, and at the graduation exercises, a prominent man bade them go forth and be lights unto the world. That was twenty years ago, Since then there have been nine- teen graduating classes, and the twentieth will graduate this year. Mason City High School has carried on through the World War, several major depressions, and num- erous occurrences, world wide in effect. The building of the present High School was be- gun just before the United States entered the World War. After many difficulties be- cause of the times, it was completed. All the students who had been in many differ- ent buildings in the preceding years, were at last gathered under one roof, In the au- ditorium of the new building was placed a memorial tablet to those of Mason City High School who had taken part in the Great War.-Special tribute to those who gave their lives. Since the time when the new building was occupied. much progress has been made. Our school is famed, not only for the gen- eral excellence of the curriculum, but for fine athletic teams, forensic work, drama, class activities as measuring up to this schoo1's standard. Today is a new day and a changing one, We of the 1933 Seniors hope to take our places capably as gradu- ates of the previous twenty years have done, and to do as much credit to Mason City High School.

Only the most noteworthy achievements were told in them. As the years rolled by they were added to by succeeding generations. For the past twenty years, Mason City High School has been recording its saga. We, the Senior Class of 1933, add our noteworthy achieve- ments to the great Mohawk sagaof this page. They differ from the first events of the saga: There has been amazing progress made- since the days of petti- coats and high bicycles. The High School course still takes four or more years to complete in spite of this progr-ess. But we point witn pardonable pride to the achievements of the past four years we have had time for in addition for the serious business of studying, We cannot mention the names of all our prominent classmen here, nor describe all who have made our class a happy and interesting one. Here we can only place a record of the progress of the class of 1933 and add a chapter to the Mohawk saga of progress, the MASONIAN, The Freshman year of the 1933 class was made eventful by the athletic program. Norquist, Evans, and Grier received their initiation into High School footballg many of the class were basket ball candi- dates,, including Hynds, Yelland, Dexter Smith, and Harris Gilpin. Our class also numbered several as- piring track stars. Joe Yoseloff and Gilbert McEwen commenced their long career of argumentation. The Band, largely composed of freshmen, captured first in the State contest for the second time and won eighth in the National contest at Flint, Michigan. While the Orchestra won second in the State con- test. Miss Ellen Smith's vocal department presented the operetta Sweethearts Our sophomore year was one to be especially remembered. The Band again won first in the State and third in the National contest at Tulsa, Oklaho- ma, being trimmed by Marion, Indiana by only .001 Cone one-thousandthj of a point. The Orchestra again won second in the State contest. In football Evans, Grier, Stoecker, Ditzler, Rankin, Hynds, Dun- lop and the Nork were outstanding, helping play a tough schedule with but two losses. The basket- eers, with several up and coming sophomores,, won 17 out of 22 games. The Girls Glee Club won first in a sensational State Contest. ..Esther Storer, of the Glee Club, attended the National Chorus in Cleve- land, Numerous sophomores took part in the All School Play Oh Kay! The Junior year we felt the difficulties of the depression keenly, both in and out of school, but still carried on unusually successful activities. Our foot- ball team had but one defeat, at the han-ds of Clar- ion, and many of our class were in there smashing 'em. In basket ball, too, we were successful. With Fink, Shaffer, Hynds, and Manderscheid as import- ant cogs in the Mohawk machine. Mason City ad- vanced as for as the second round of the State tour- nament and turned in a fine playing record for the season, The newly organized wrestling team had a season full of experience. Red Martin and Al Stoecker winning second in the District meet. The entire debate squad was composed of juniors, and carried thru a successful season. The junior class play, Ghost House was a Howling success, feat- uring Catherine Webster, Ralph Dunlop, Geraldine Lund and Ruth Hille. Our present class advisor, Miss Ruth Irons, also directed successfully the All School Play, A Lucky Break. The operetta, The Red Mill was presented, with Esther Storer and Lois Howard singing important roles. The Band won the State contest for the fourth successive time under the leadership of its new director, Carleton L. Stewart, and as an added and noteworthy achieve- ment, the Orchestra also won first. Junior Seney won second in the State trombone solo event, Mar- gery Pickett third in bassoon, and Lavina Stevens third in Marimba. Seney also placed in the First Division of the National Contest, Our last year has been an interesting one. The Football team was again composed of many '33 men. The season was one of several defeats, but many spirited and thrilling games. Our wrestlers came into more prominence, giving their very tough op- ponents, Clarion, New Hampton, and Cresco three hard won victories, and splitting with Eldora in two meets. Stoecker,4Capt, Red Martin, Alitz, and Wood stood out, with Alitz and Martin capturing third in the State meet. Fink, Shaffer, Zander and Neighbor contributed the basket ball team's success, and were largely responsible for the awarding of the State Tournament Sportmanship Trophy. As this is written, a successful track season looms ahead, with Hynds and Fink already turning in stellar perform- ances. The Debate team finished a successful sea- son by winning the Iowa State Teachers' invitation tournament, with Joe Yoseloff taking highest indi- vidual honor. Martin, Fink, Raizes, and McEwen were the other members of the victorious squad, The Senior Play, Mignonette, was a well acted presen- tation- and attracted the record attendance of the year. Miss Irons' one-act play won first in the Class A competition at Iowa City against the stiffest com- petition this class offered. The instrumenal and vocal departments competed in twenty-one state events, and the Band journeyed to Chicago for the National contest june 7. This chapter of the Mohawk saga will end June 1, 1933, when the Senior class of two- hundred and fifty members graduates, The Gray Gowned class will receive its diplomas, and will go onward with high hopes given by the words of Samuel W. Graf- flin, editor of the American Aristocrat, who is the graduation speaker. We feel that we have added a truly MEMORABLE chapter to the great MO- HAWK saga. SENIORS Arlene Able fAhiej S.

Every eye is fixed upon the stage, draped sombrely in black where in solitary and impos- ing state rests a great velvet casket, bearing a noble wreath of this purport, Seniors, 'Thirty Threef A hushed and awful silence descends, like an oppressive pall, over the assemblage, as the august person of Mr. Rae, with the significant document in his hand, takes 3 stand beside the casket. Without preliminary words to detract from the dignity and solemnity of the occasion, Mr. Rae reads in ponderous and impressive tones: Last Will and Testament of the Class of '33. Know all men by these Presents that we, the Seniors of the Mason City High School, be- ing of sound QD and disposing minds, and in the full use and possession of all our faculties do hereby make, execute, publish and declare this, our last will and testament, in the year of our Lord, Nineteen-Hundred and Thirty-three. Herein we do sanction the following be- quests, viz., namely, and to-wit: Arlene Abel leaves her pepsodent smile to Ruth Anderson. Milton Alitz leaves his football pants to Tommy Boyle. Stanley Anderberg leaves his extra credits to help Mildred Van Avery with the struggle called education. Alma Anderson leaves her gift of gab to Eva Buck. Doris Anderson leaves all the room in the locker to Sister Ruth. Merrill Balek-I hereby release my fam- ous will power and personality to my class- mate John MacMillan. Henry Banks leaves willingly. Elmer Barnosky-I hereby leave to the M. C. H. S. all the teachers to teach better stu- dents than me. Richard Barr wills his ready alibis to Mary Richardson. Lorraine Bast's angles to 108 and 207. Norma Beerman leaves her kegs to Bill Whorley and discarded hairpins to Howard Schweer. Harold Benson leaves his white fnot pinkj slips to the one who needs them--Bill Whorley. Orville Bergland leaves many a broken heart to times minist'ring angels! Doris Birdsell leaves her reputation to Doug Weaver. Marvyl Bloomingdale leaves Ruben QEmilJ Nyquist to the mercy of the Juniors. Harry Bovaird-I, the undersigned, here- by leave by BunionfWalk to Bruce Parker, Esq. Harry Bovaird.

THE SENIOR CLASS. As Mr. Rae ceased to speak, the silence in the auditorium rose to a murmur, and thence to a great tumult. Such was the depth of emo- tion drawn from the hearers of the Will, that. ere the room was emptied, tokens of love and remembrance were heaped hih about the cas- ket, among them gorgeous cabbage-roses, hot- house dandelions. and here and there a depres- sion flower, representing, no doubt, the Wid- ow's mite. Such was the passing of the Class of '33. SHUFFLE OFF T0 1950 Look into my magic ball, A fortune teller said, Because it will reveal to you What fate there lies ahead.

One of the most illustrious members of this wonderful class is one, Robert Burns, Esq. CI forgot whether he is the poet or the cigarj. Said Bobby Burns has done outstanding work in all sports, even being chosen Captain of the 1933 grid machlne. Bobby went to the State Basketball Tournament at Des Moines as a regular on the '31-'32 basketball team. The natural result of this great career was that Bobby was almost unanimously elected President of 'the Jun- ior class. Next in brightness in this jumble of bril'iant stars,', to put it poeticly, is a very diminutive fellow, but oh, what a brain he has! He is a member of the High School Band and because of his many achievements, he was elected Vice- President of the Class. This small Einstein is George Tice. The only female officer is Enola Skram, secretary and treasurer. Ed Woodward, who is well known in football and wrestling circles. as wel' as for scholarship, was chosen Assistant Business Manager for the 1933 Ma- sonian. In '32, Ed will be the Business Manager. Louis Garfin fdot dopej who is best known as a goof was elected As- sistant Editor of the '33 Annual to become editor in '34. Another up-and-coming QQ Junior is Gerald Babe Suter . He was sub- stitute quarterback and later half on the '32 football team. He was also a sub- stitute forward on the basketball sqvad. Here's hoping he'll be a regular on both squads next year. Hobart Crabb and Kenneth Hiemendinger are two juniors who did great work in football. Hiemie played half-back and Hobo was the first string full-back all season. I can't possibly leave out little Red Herbener. His name is really Mer- rill but he doesn't seem to like it very well. Merrill is a basketball player and that's saying something. He is quite small and light but he played some part of almost every game of the season. Tennis is somewhat of a new sport in the High School but the juniors have already brought forth a tennis star, Douglas Weaver. Doug is not only a tennis star but a first class gigolo. No other class can beat that record. Once a time upon-No!! Now to get to the female members of the Class for a while. When I try to write on this fascinating subject adjectives come to my mind in a jumgble. Beautiful, intelligent, athletic, sociable. x y z, p q r s, og, etc. One of the most beautiful. etc.. of all these is a little old man with a-no again! The girl I mean is Tune Gaylord. She excels in school work, and at the proms and par- ties, well, she has to carrv a shotgun. Another illustrious Cthat's a good wordl .Tuniora Cfeminine genderl is known as Bettv Bull. She also is an excellent student, at times, is a member of the Glee Club, and is a leader in sports. About the student part-she doesn't have to do anything at all to get good grades from men teachers., That little pug nose and those eyes of hers seem to do things to men. CHOW about it 'Tudge?j I mustn't leave out Roslyn Brogue, the budding genius in our midst. Madalynne Powell distinguished herself very much with her beautiful soprano voice, which she uses to great advantage. Another girl who distinguished herself was Elizabeth Haddv. Hers was a very different line of achievement-athletics. But how she did achieve She also was a yell leader. In dramatics Virginia Bradv was very much up-and-at-'ern--taking the fem lead in the Junior Class Plav. Then there is Betty Ann Webster, Mary jane Gamble, Babe Kropman, Margaret Kern, Leonaine Breese, and many others. SOPHOMORE BOAT RIDE Pay yer fares here, young un's, barks the beared ferryman to the many eager sophomores impatiently awaiting his turn to cross the wide, vast ex- panse of water commonly known at Vacation. Pay! choruses a group of well-built boys, namely, LeRoy Mott, Harold Leake, Merle Jones, Lloyd F arrer and john Crabb. Why, we helped warm these cold benches on the football field. Waal, I serpose1,,weal, climb aboard. Wait a minute, young la- dies. You surely aren't with this bunch! No, sir, meekly responds Dorothy Evans. Wanda Briar, Harriet Cur- rie and I, well, we tried our best to please the audience in the all High School play. Waal, alright, watch yer step on that board there. It's kinder loose. Fifty cents, Miss. Well, I, uh, that is, stammered Jean Barclay. I tried to be queen of the Turkey Hop but someone else won over me. Oh, I see. Maybe you'd do better on the other side, so go on. Please, sir, begs little Raymond Barr, n1ayn't we come, too ? And, my little fellow, what did you do? H Gayle Snell, Lloyd Farrer, and I sat beside the best-dressed coach in Iowa during the basketball season. 'fWaal, canlt say as how you helped much, but come along. I say, mister, may we come too ? Looking down, the ferryman sees two small boys. Oh, you're Clifford Hathaway and Gale Lane, two of the basket ball managers. Hop on. The old man looks' and sees a small figure running down the hill carrying a suitcase. L Where be you a goin' with that ther grip, he shouts. It isn't a grip, pants Orris Herfindahl, It's a clarinet case. Before the ferryman could say another word, Orris had run up the gang- plank and dropped into the nearest chair. And so the ferry shoves off, carrying with it many sophomores. After three months of tossing in the angry seas, they will land in the so- called land of juniors Remarkable Past of the Freshman Class We're coming Mason City High School, We come four hundred strong. The class of freshman boys and girls, That you've been wanting long. We've come with lots of knowledge, The teachers say it's so, We've come with lots of silliness, That's always on the go. You know you won, oh many a game, When the Freshmen got alert, And plowed right through that football line, With Gitz and Collen, Jessup and Hert. At the end of the football season, We had made wonderful gains, For who 'most won the popularity contest? Miss Margery Brown, Miss Dornini Haynes. In the High School play we were represented, By a Miss with the blackest hair, Miss Sylvia Cohen played as Becky , The Freshmen are always there! We starred in football, basketball, too, Our games were all well played and done, With Stoecker, Edwards, and Wagner, And Neighbor and Tennyson. The Freshmen girls are good in sports Our teams have won first place, For Nichelou, Ditzler, and Curtiss, Set you a fine hot pace. In many clubs you see Freshman faces, Pauline Siskow's for G. A. A. Imogene Morris cheers for Hi-Tri In the regular Freshman way. We have brain as well as brawn, Our scholars outshine them everyone, Their names would fill the thickest book. just watch these Freshmen come! Our class doesn't lack in music, We star in orchestra, glee club, and band, Don Kunz has a fine tenor voice, Ruth Ann O'Neil, a cellist first hand. And, now Mason City High School, We're initiated into you, We help make the school what it is today, And we're FRESHMEN whatever we do.

These were Basketball and Track, and from this time to the present they have developed with each year. H. H. Preston was athletic director as well as coach at this time. Reuben Nyquist, who has the honor of being a present mem- ber of the faculty, was basketball coach. The less said of the team the better, al- though they did win one game, Whether this poor showing was due to a bad begin- ning or to the coaching will never be de- termined, but we venture to say that the school was fortunate in securing a new coach and limiting Mr. Nyquist to the com- mercial department. However we are proud of Mr. Nyquist's attempt at starting us in our basketball career. It was this year also, we are sorry to say, that marked the end of a sport which has been recently revived in our High School, by coach Chick Sutherland, that sport being baseball. The 1913 season was limited to intermural competition. Years passed and again a new sport was instigated into our school. Wrestling was accepted with enthusiasm, as it was a sport in which size held no handicap. It was in- troduced in 1921, and the same year coaches Watters and Matte of the school, introduced into the State the idea of duel high school wrestling meets. This idea was taken up by other schools until today it is widely scat- tered over the state, In '26, wrestling was discontinued through the lack of a coach, until it was revived again in '31 by Coach Howard Barker. It was met with favor by the fellows, and it is hoped, ..wi1l be con- tinued. The following year tennis was ac- cepted into our athletic branch. This sport was introduced by Coach Judge Grimsley. As the wheels of time ground out the years, Mason City High School athletics, and her athletes continued to advance. State championship teams were produced in wrestling, football, and track. In basket- ball the championship has been threatened several times. 1With these 'championship teams and near champions, has been pro- duced many great athletes, who later made names for themselves either as athletes or coaches. Along with excellent teams have been ex- cellent coaches, men who understood and were williing to work with the fellows. The Mason City High School teams not only having the reputation of being very well coached, but also a reputation for sports- manship, which has lent to their superiority, which we are proud to say still remains, QP Q J i fguxgv , u X I e 0 gv .4 A Q3 lr 71-i 'm.4,,, ik' 1'-f www- M . FOOTBALL On September 1, coaches Sutherland, Bar- ker, and Hansen, called the first practice of the 1932 season. One of the largest and heaviest squads in years answered this call. With the loss of seven regulars from last year's squad, Coach Sutherland had an enor- mous task of building a team in three weeks for the opener with Emmetsburg. In the backfield were Bob Burns, veteran sophomore, Buck Hynds, last season's handy man who was to fill the shoes of Bud Suter at quarterback, Heimendinger who filled in at right half for Louie Kaufmang and Hobart Crabb who had the enormous task of filling the shoes of Grover Stoecker at fullback. The line was made up of Bob Evans, a powerful reserve from last year's squad, who took the place of Captain Detra at left endg Harold Leake, a sophomore, filled for Harlan MacMillan at left tackle, John Hartman, an- other reserve from last season, relieved Cliff Jones at left guard Harold Grier, 3 veteran at Centerg Pax Shaffer, a reserve backfield man from last year, was moved up to the line to fill the shoes of John Carpenter at right guard, A1 Stoecker, brother to Grover, and a powerful veteran at right tackleg and Walter Ditzler, an- other veteran at right end. This is the team that started the first game. But due to illness and injuries, which were more numerous this season than usual, constant changes were made throughout the entire season, which resulted in a revised team in every game. Others who were later made regulars, either because of injuries to first squad men or improvements in their own capabilities, were Rose, backg Woodward, line: Mott, lineg Fink, lineg Hert, line, Dayton, line 5 Alitz, line: Suter and Snell, back. Other members on the first squad were Dunlop, Rankin, Aldrich, Siskow, Farrer, Ger- vey and Norquist. All of these men helped to make up the Mohawks. In the entire squad were three four-year men, Evans, Grier, and Norquist. Although not a regular, Norquist was a member of the squad, and one to be proud of. Norqy was one of those few who never gave up no matter how great the odds. He came out for football as a Freshman and stuck it out through four years. He received his letter and says he is satisfied. At a meeting held before the final game, Harold Grier was elected honorary Captain by members of the squad. At a meeting held later, Bob Burns was chosen as Captain for the '33 season. On january 18th, a football banquet was held at the Y. M. C. A. The speaker for the evening was Mr. E. G. Dunn, whose theme was Backing the Team, Win or Losef' Short talks were given by Junior College and High School coaches. At this banquet 24 freshmen numer- als were awarded the following: Don Kunz, Barron Boyd, Bud Bowen, Chick Neighbor, Jack Shipley, Ed Hert, Lloyd Morris, Sam Brodbury, Howard Stoecker, Edwin Tenny- son, William Butler, James Mulcahy, jack Shaffer, Walter Noble, Bill Wagner, Bill Hanks, Dick Cookman, jack Robertson, George Gitz, Oliver Hahn, Bob jesseys, John James, Harold Leese, Bob Collins. At the Mohawk club meeting the follow- ing were awarded Letters: A. Stoecker, R. Evans, TW. Ditzler, H. Grier, E. Hynds, B. Burns, J. Hartman, K. Heimendinger, H. Crabb, P. Shaffer, E. Woodward, R. Dunlop, J. Fink, R. Garvey, L. Norquist, L. Mott, M. Alitz, Harold Grier. .1 FooTBALl. U Q-Tl . I. - A - - - ,- '. 1 . 1, ' ' k 1- A brief resume of the season's games: Mohawks triumph over Emmetsburg 28-12. Lose to Estherville 6-0. Nosed out by West Waterloo 7-6. Defeated by Clarion 12-8. Mohawks swamp Algona 39-0. Downed by Fort Dodge 32-6. Lose final to Charles City 20-7. And thus the Mohawks closed the season undaunted by de feat, supreme in the thought that they had played the game. BASKETBALL The '32, '33 season, which later proved to be an eventful one, got under way early in Oct. with the usual large squad reporting for the most popular of indoor sports. Judge was fortunate in having several men back from last year's squad, which made prospects seem brighter. After careful selec- tion and diligent observation, Judge picked his squad and went to work developing not only a first team, which could be compared with equal proudness to any Mohawk five, but also a powerful reserve which often displayed first team calibre. We introduce judges '32-'33 edition. Captain Joe Fink, playing his second year at center for the Mohawks, and later chosen as captain on the All North Iowa Mythical Five. 2nd All State. Maurice Zander, flashy left forward, who took the place of Captain Bud Suter. Jack Neighbor, who played a brilliant game at right forward, replaced jimmy Mac- Donald. John Manderschied, running guard whose unerring eye saved the day for the Mohawks more than once. Mandy was lost through in- eligibility at the beginning of the second se- mester. Bob Burns, the fellow who very capably filled the vacancy left by Mandy. Bob will be back next year. Paxon Shaffer, the other guard responsible for much of the low scoring of our opponents. Red Herbener, forward, called by team mates and fans the spark plug of the squad. Jack Struyk, forward, who's hope shot more than once accounted for the points piled up by the Mohawks. Howard Stoecker, the biggest man on the squad, proved that freshmen have their worth, and developed into a good center. Lloyd Farrer, vied with Stoecker for sec- ond team honors as center. Dexter Smith at guard was one of judge's most dependable fellows. Buck Hynds, played either guard or for- ward with equal ability. Gerald Babe Suter, brother to Bud , was one of the flashiest men on the squad. Raymond Barr, another fellow who could play guard or forward, and one in whom judge placed confidence. Starr Yelland, played center or forward and was also an important cog in the second team. These are the fellows who wrote 1932 and '33 basket ball history. Nine of these fellows lost by graduation are: Captain Joe Fink, Maurice Zander, jack Neighbor, Pax ,Shaffer, Dex Smith, Jack Struyke, Buck Hynds and Starr Yelland, The Mohawks came through in fine shape, winning 10 of 16 games and losing only by a very narrow margin. Not satisfied with a suc- cessful schedule, the team swept through the sectional and district tournaments to win the right to compete in the State Meet at Des Moines. Although defeated in the first round by a strong Council Bluffs five, the Mohawks displayed such outstanding sportsmanship that they carried home a trophy awarded for such. The winning of this trophy is considered by many an even greater honor than that of win- ning the championship. And so once again judge and his Mohawks close a successful season with gaze centered into the future in hopes of some day claiming the State Championship.

Leewright received an arm in- jury in practice which put him out until the final meet. George Karamitros filled the vacancy left by Leewright and was a very capable wrestler. Richard Cookman was another freshman who was good enough to make the team. He wrestled in the 95 pound class. Bill jones, our 105 pound wrestler, was- a good man who met stiff competition.. Bill is a Soph. and will be back next year as a junior. John Woods, Denno Karamitros and Dar- rell Leffingwell gave each other such close competition that all three wrestled on the team. These three boys all were 115 pounders. George Haynes, who was a veteran, was un- ab'e to compete because of an attack of boils. Mike Martin, brother of Red, exhibited fine wrestling in the 125 pound class. William Red Martin ,captain of the team and one of the best wrestlers ever developed in the local high school, wrestled in the 135 pound class. LeRoy Mott and William Siskow shared the 145 pound class. Both were good wrest- lers. Mott will be back for next year. Harold Grier competed in the 155 pound division. Milton Alitz weighed in at 165 pounds and was one of our outstanding wrestlers. In the heavyweight class we were fortu- nate in having Alfred Stoecker. Al more than once found himself in an embarrassing situation when his opponents failed to measure up to the class they were competing in. Al is a senior and will be missed greatly as he was another outstanding wrestler. Others on the squad who also gave very good accounts of themselves were: Lawrence Sommers and George Swaroff, both in the 85 pound classg LeRoy Alitz and Ralph DiGregerio in the 95 pound class, Lloyd Wilson, 115 pound classy Morris Zebker and Gilbert McEwen, 125 pound classy George Ni- col and Lloyd Morris, 135 pound class, Fred Rose and john Dougan, 145 pound classg Ver- nett Aldrich, 155 pound class 5 Donald Dougan, Carl Adams, 165 pound classg and in the heavy- weight class were Harold Leake and Milton Raizes. Coach Barker loses twelve men by gradu- ation. They are: Red Martin, Milton Alitz, A1 Stoecker, Harold Grier, Milton Raizes, Carl Adams, Donald Dougan, Gilbert McEwen, William Siskow, George Haynes, Darrel Lef- fingwell, and Morris Zebker.

This being our second year of competitive wrestling Qtwo meets were held last yearj we were not so for- tunate in winning from the team standpoint, but did have some boys who won regularly. The season got under way at the close of the football year, with about 70 boys reporting to Coach Barker for the initial work-out. After a few weeks of fundamentals, the squad settled down and vigorous training commenced. The fellows were willing to work and learned sur- prisingly fast. Coach Barker was fortunate in having several veterans of last year's squad which in- cluded Al Stoecker, who won the right to compete in the State Meet at Cedar Falls after winning second place in the District Meet at New Hampton: john Woods, also won the right to compete at the State after winning second place at the Districtg and Red Mar- tin, captain of the team, won first place at the District and third at the State Meet. The real find of the year was in QMilton Alitz who developed into a very fine wrestler, and had the distinction of winning first place at the District and third place at the State, in his first year of wrestling. Barker took eight boys to the District Meet and took third place over a large field of schools which were old timers at the game, such as Clinton, East Waterloo, Cedar Falls, Dubuque and Elkader, and Mount Vernon, be- ing beaten only by New Hampton and Cresco, the two teams which later shared the State Championship. In dual meets with the State Champions, we ranked almost equal to them, and next year we hope to be able to rank far above them. This was the High Schoolfs second year of Weaver, flashy net star of last year and jack tennis. Although to date no games had been played, meets were carded with several schools. The outstanding candidates are: Doug Struyk, who has brought quite a reputation as a tennis star from Cherokee High. The team is coached by Judge Grimsley. GOLF For the first time in the history of the Mason City High School, a golf team was or- ganized. This newest of all sports on the Mo- hawk curriculum was coached by Volney Han- sen, physical training instructor who had won the Legion Golf Title the past two years. The ..- team was to be taken to Desi Moines for the state meet the latter part of May. Among the most promising golf stars on the squad were Harris Gilpin, Melvin Decker, and the Richard- son twins, James and john. MOHAWK CLUB The Mohawk club is another activity which has been reorganized for the betterment of athletics. The purpose of the club is to pro- mote athletics and athletes in the Mason City High School. In this club sportsmanship in all branches of athletics and in life is stressed. The awarding of the honor M is also in the hands of this organization. It was not until April 11th that outdoor OFFICERS A1 Stoecker ,.,,,,,..,,,..,,....,....,....,,,...,...............,,,.,.,...,...

A squad of about 55 reported to Head coach Grimsley and Assistant Gerald, and Hansen for the initial workouts. Included in this squad were but two veterans, Joe Fink and Buck Hynds. With a practice meet four days away, the coaches put forth much effort in getting to- gether a team to represent Mason City. In this meet we tied with Buffalo Center with 45 points apiece. joe Fink winning first in the 440 and the 880 runs, while Claude Calvert won first in the mile. The following week the annual Mason City Invitation Track and Field meet was held. In this meet Mason City took third place in a field of 15 schools. Due to the lateness of the season and the earliest possible issuance of the annual we were unable to get results of the rest of the season. The outstanding track men of the year are joe Fink, Buck Hynds, Claire Bellows, Milton Alitz, Kenneth Heimendinger, Bill Peterson, Claude Calvert and John Zarobsky.

The development of girl athletes is its main object. As a member of this asso- ciation, each girl has an opportunity to take part in its different activities. D The sports are divided into two classes, major and minor. Volley Ball, one of the min- or sports, but an interesting and well liked one, was the first sport of the year. The Freshmen class won the tournament, and was also the championship team of 1933. Constance Nick- alou, Beulah Bates, Alice Stafford, Bessie Pap- pas, Dorothy Curtis, Helen Mott, and Pauline Siskow, were the players on the winning team. Basketball, a major sport, arouses more interest than any other game. The classes en- tered in the school tournament were evenly matched, but the Juniors were the victors. The players on this team were: Edith Maxson, Vir- ginia Karan, Leota Milnes, Bertha Yankovitch, Erna Doering, and jeanet Arnold. Baseball, also a major sport, was very pop- ular with all the girls this year as there was a large turn out from the four different classes. To create more interest in sports, a po'nt system is used. Awards are given in order as: numerals, letters, sweaters, and trophies. . That M Club had a large membership this year. The members are: Erna Doering, Bertha Yankovitch, Mae Haddy, Dorothy Cookman, Martha Haddy, Elizabeth Perry, Zona Bell, jeanet Arnold, Anna Kowny, Leota Milnes, and Betty Woldman. One thousand points are required before a person can become a member of this club. Mae Haddy and Dorothy Cookman were the only members of the Sweater Club this year. The club requires its members to have one thousand eight hundred points. Last year was the first year that trophies were awarded. This year they were awarded to Mae Haddy and Dorothy Cookman. This is the highest honor award that a girl can re- ceive. She must have twenty-two hundred points and this can only be obtained after four years of athletics. Last but not least comes the G. A. A. Cab- inet. The members of this cabinet are: Mae Haddy, Presidentg Harriet Currie, Secretary: Betty Bull, Treasurerg Leota Milnes, Head of Sportsg Dorothy Cookman, Business Manager, Catherine Webster, Margaret Daniels, Pro- gram Chairman: Mary Fitzpatrick, and Jean Temple, Recreation Chairman.

C. H. S. This is the year Book that the class of 1913 in the Mason City High School has published as volume the First -reads an inscription in the front of that first book-It's staff consisted of seven editors, and the cov- er was orange with black lettering. It is a colorful collection: 1914 flashed a gray and gold coverg 1915 -gold and purpleg 1916-olive green and goldg 1917-gold and blackg 1918-light grey and roseg 1919-cream and navy blueg 1920-brown and goldg 1921-Silver and Blueg 1922-tan and navy blueg 1923-dull red and blackg 1924-leather brown with orange and purple designg 1925- silver and greyish greeng 1926-blue and goldg 1927A-taupe and blackg 1928-bright red and blackg 1929-red, black and whiteg 1930-black and goldg 1931-maroon and silverg 1932-blue and gold. And now as another rung is added to this stair step of golden memo- ries, may we in the future, look back with pleasure on-1933 Black and Silver- OQQEO Vim HISTORY OF THE ACTIVITIES The truly first activities of our High School were composed of nature clubs, speech clubs, and commercial clubs, namely the German Club, The B-urrouglfs Club, and the Commercial Club originated by the ef- ficient Mr. Nyquist. It was in the year of 1915 that Hi Y organized under its present name. It was in those days that we had mys- terious, dark secret societies which prosper- ed, unknown to quite everybody. The Girl Reserves, was among the first popular societies in the High School, with the same hikes, parties, picnics, and nomi- nees to Okoboji, In 1922 there was a Freshman Friendship Circle. Attention Freshmen! To provide recreation for all girls in the form of athletics and social events, the G. A. A. was organized under the leadership of Miss Helen Platt. Miss McGowan is now continuing this organization, The year 1929-1930 marked the begin- ning of a new High School Association, the American Club. It was sponsored by Miss Mary Bullock. Way back in 1913-of course you all remember-some very fine plays were pre- sented. just ask our friend Mr, Reuben Nyquist. He vouches that the talent in those good old days greatly surpasses that of the present day, but to that we smile politely and feel well satisfied with our own presentations of late. It is interesting to note that many years back more attention was given over to debating and its development than to play production. The coaching and com- plete management of the plays were under the auspices of the debating societies. How- ever, as time rolled on, interest in debate did not diminish but that in play work be- came keener. Dramatics gradually grew to be what we might call an independent in- stitution-a very necessary and yet delight- ful institution at that! In the development of dramatics in our school through the expert ability of the dra- matic instructors we have been offered op- portunity for a deeper appreciation of dra- matics-an outlet for the talent within our school. Mason City music has grown from a twelve piece orchestra, which practiced faithfully every Monday night, and a chorus of 25 voices to its present proportions. More than 300 High School people are now included in the music work. fm A. clfif v0 07312 DRAMATICS I 1 CHARACTERS Isac Golditch, Antiquer, of the Gilditch Art Shop ..........

Betty Bull Honors went to Mason City High School when the one-act play Neighbors by Aona Gale was awarded first place in Class A at the Iowa Play Production Tournament held at Iowa City March 30, 31, and April 1. The story of Neighbors centers 1 V I . i l . v l , f- ' in the Abel home in a rural com- munity and shows the kindness of the neighbors in that community. We find them busy planning a sort of surprise shower as they call it to help poor Mis' Ellsworth for whom they all feel so sorry. She is finan- cially disabled as it is, and receives word that a distant relative is sending a little boy for her to care for on top of everythin' else. The climax comes when she learns that after all the little boy is not coming, and heart-broken, she goes to tell the neighbors. She finds them in the midst of their planning for her. A touching scene follows when she tells them what the coming of the little chap would've meant to her, but neverthe- less she shows her gratefulness for their kindness. The Daily Iowan, a student publication selected Margaret Handel and Betty Bull as outstanding players. The play in general received'very favorable comment from the critic judges.

A nn Adell johnson SYNOPSIS OF SCENES -Recreation Pier-Foot of 23d street, N. York. As the action of the operetta be- gins, a yachting trip to the Van Dares' estate in Bermuda is pending. In the course of the act, as the yachting party gathers at the pier preparatory to sailing, Herr Franz, the choirmaster, hears a lit- tle Italian singing. Thinking to find a rare boy soprano to enter his choir, he inves- tigates, and sadly discovers that it is only a little girl, Nina, who sings in the streets of New York. Later, however, Nina is disguised as a boy, is taken aboard the Van Dares' yacht as a cabin boy, and thus comes to Her Franz's notice, as a lad with a promising soprano voice. ACT II-The Van Dare Estate-Bermuda. THREE WEEKS LATER In the course of three weeks, Tony, who is really Nina, disguised, has become a great favorite with the guests at Van Dares' estate in Bermuda, but at the same time, is a constant bone of contention be- tween Geraldine and Jack, For this rea- son, combined with the fact that Mrs. Van Dare is led to suspect Tony as a no- ACT III torious pickpocket of New York, and dis- covers his real identity. She is sent away from the service of the Van Dares. This act is made very humorous by romantic complications among Mr. Thurston, Mrs. Van Dare, Jack, Geraldine, Suzette, Pie- tro and Jenkins. -The Van Dare Home-New York. The scene in the third act is the bril- liant spectacle of a palatial New York residence in the midst of an evening re- ception and a ball. The plot of the ope- retta is brought to its climax when the glamorous Madame Gianina, who is at the pinacle of Grand Opera fame, and who is to entertain Mrs. Van Dares' guests, is discovered to be the little street singer, Nina, Audience and actors alike are left in C1 happy frame of mind by the outcome of affairs, and as the curtain rings down, Jack and Nina are ideally happy, Geral- dine and Mr. Thurston very sympathetic with themselves and everyone else and Jenkins and Mrs. Van Dare as confiden- tial as ever. The band this year is composed of 108 mu- sicians, under the careful direction of Mr. C. L. Stewart. Due to the fact that for the prev- ious four years the Mason City High School band has won Class A competition in the State contest, they are to participate in a National contest at Evanston, Illinois, the first of june. This year Mr. Stewart has developed many fine individual players and ensemble numbers. He has entered these contestants in various contests and in D have nine events to repre- sent M. C .H. S. in the contest at Iowa City. Mr. Stewart holds band practices once every school day, besides sectional rehearsals during and after school. This year he has been working exceptionally hard on contest num- bers for National contest, which everyone wishes for first place. Beside working on contest numbers, Mr. Stewart takes great interest in giving a public concert at least once a month and one for the High School Assembly. These concerts show a great deal of interest of the citizens of Mason City.

This class typed all the addresses, cut sten- cils, mimeographed the letters, and last but not least, licked the fine- tast- ing stamps to aid the Red Cross in selling their Christmas seals. They are about to mail them in the below picture. Need a secretary or a stenographer? just take your pick. In the District Commercial Contest, held April 29 in the M. C. H. S., our students placed first in all entries. The Amateur typewriting team not only placed first in accuracy but also in speed. The team included Eleanor Krumbholz, Vivian McEldoon and Juanita Huffman. The Amateur Shorthand team included Francis Rice, Marvyl Bloom- ingdale, and Marie Nielson. The Novice typewriting team placed first in accuracy and speed. The team included Elsie Yotter, Ruth Morgan, and Frances Kinney. The Novice Shorthand team included Elsie Yotter, Margaret Vaughn and Eva Kitsis. All four teams were eligible to go to the State Contest at Des Moines held May 13. DEBATE We of Mason City High School should be rightly proud of our debate teams that have ended another very successful season. One of the most outstanding events dur- ing the season was the Debate Tournament held at Iowa State Teachers College at Cedar Falls. Our Mason City team composed of Gil- bert McEwen and joe Yoseloff taking the af- firmative with Dick Martin and Milton Raizes upholding the negative, won first place in the class A division.. This winning marks the third year that Mason City has captured first place at this same tournament. In addition to this honor Joe Yoseloff was proclaimed high-point man of the tournament and was awarded a four year scholarship to the Iowa State Teachers College. Dick Martin and Milton Raizes were both ranked among the ten highest-rated speakers. Next our attention is drawn to the sub- district tournament of the State which was held at Eagle Grove. Gilbert McEwen and joe Yoseloff composing the affirmative with Joe Fink and Dick Martin as negative debaters won both decisions over Clarion and won over Eagle Grove on points. This entitled them to compete in the State tournament at Iowa City on March 29 and 30. There the affirmative was taken by Milton Raizes and joe Yoseloff- Dick Martin and Joe Fink, the negative. During the season, Mason City debated in twenty-six decision debates and won nineteen of those twenty-six debates. Isn't that a rec- ord? Decision debates were staged against Eagle Grove, Clarion, Ft. Dodge, Webster City, Roosevelt, Iowa City, Cedar Falls, New- ton, West High of Waterloo, Charles City, Ames, Thomas jefferson of Council Bluffs, Davenport, Spencer, Creston, and East High of Sioux City. The non-decision debates were staged against Eagle Grove, Ft. Dodge, Storm Lake, Clarion, Greene, Algona, Cedar Falls, Charles City, Osage, Elkader, Oelwein, and Jessup. The season closed with a total of ninety- three debates and a record throughout, that makes us swell with pride at the mention of the word debate, Those participating in the debate class this year are as follows: joe Yoseloff Gilbert McEwen Milton Raizes Harold Grier Dick aMartin Jerome Schultz Jack Neighbor Bruce Parker Jack Stryke Nancy Bowen Madge Dayton Colonel Piersol James Richardson Bob Evans Leonaine Breese Joe Fink and were under the capable guidance of Mr. Guy Crosen. Duane Dayton History of Mason City J. C. The Mason City junior College was organized, in 1918, as part of the public school system. This first insti- tution of its kind in Iowa was accredit- ed in its first year by the North Cen- tral Association of Colleges and Sec- ondary Schools, which honored posi- tion it still retains. The people of Ma- son City must be congratulated for having the vision and faith required to push this innovation to a fruitful re- ality. Growth of the junior College has been reflected in administration chan- ges. James Rae has continued to be its chief supervisor. In 1925 the office of Dean was created. Previous to this an Advisor, and then a Committee on Student Relations, constituted execu- tive bulwarks. Since 1927 the govern- ing machinery has been strengthened by a Student Council. The present ef- ficient Dean is S. L. Rugland. Enrollment increases probably bet- ter indicate actual growth. Not only has the number of students leaped from 25 in 1918 to 205 in 1932, but these stu- dents have come from an ever-increas- ing number of surrounding communi- ties. Up through 1923 a S10 tuition per semester was charged non-residents. Since then, complying with a new state law, all students have paid a tuition ranging from S35 to S45 per semester. The first subjects taught in Jun- ior College were English, History, French, Science, Mathematics, and Mu- sic. Other courses which have been added gradually include Economics, Mechanical Drawing, Speech, Govern- ment, Psychology, and Biology. Vet- eran teachers still on the staff are O. A. George, who joined the faculty in 1919, and L. L. Minor, who came in 1921. The social life- which has become traditional with Junior College consists of the Faculty Reception to the stu- dent body, the Christmas Homecoming Dance, and the climaxical College Ban- quet. Various activities sustain interest in school work and develop personality and leadership. ...One of the oldest is the College Y , a group of spirited girls, who annually sponsor a musical comedy. The Pulse, a journalistic venture founded in 1922, continues to be popular. The same year gave life to a dramatic club, active each year in presenting plays to the public, the Wig and Mask. Orville A. George. 7 29+ df CXQQ Q5 WK ww so Q, 3 ' gf X WLJ if X f fllfafi? 'QQ To the memory of Maude E. Shelburne we, the junior Col- lege of 1933, lovingly dedicate this section of the year book, in token of our deep appreciation and gratitude for her patience and willingness to help, her co-operation in college activities, and for the splendid example of one who devoted herself with unselfish and steadfast courage to her students. It is fitting to pay our respects to the mem- ory of one whose most productive years were devoted to service in our High School and Jun- ior College. From January, 1921, to June, 1932, Maude Ethel Shelburne taught the College French classes and, during all but the last year, one or more of the High School courses. She planned on returning to work the following September, but died on the eleventh of Au- gust last year, after several months of serious illness. Miss Shelburne was no ordinary personal- -Maxine Beerman. ity. A background of experience, education, and travel, supported by a native wit, made her conversation engaging.. Graduating from In- diana University in 1915, she studied at various universities, including the Sorbonne, before being granted the Master of Arts degree by the University of Chicago in 1929. Her experience extended from the rural schools of Indiana, her native state, to the freshman and sophomore college work at Mason City. Her colleagues on the faculty will not easily forget Miss Shel- burne. S. L. Rugland. MASONIAN STAFF Editor-in-Chief ......,.., ,........ C harlotte Ames Assistant Editor .,...,...... ........

After a tough battle, Charles Walk- er, Betty Green, Charlotte Ames, sophornoresg and Dick Stevens and Betty Senneff, freshmeng emerged victorious as representatives to voice the will of the student body. The group started things off with a bang by sponsoring a Junior College Pep Band and a Junior College quartet. Both were highly suc- cessful. Throughout the year, the quintet convened bi-weekly with the Dean and exchanged ideas and suggestions in the interest of the student body. As no major difficulties arose during the first semester, the coun- cil's most successful venture was the sponsoring of the annual Junior College Homecoming held during the holidays. Toward the close of the second semester, the Council laid lavish plans for the junior College picnic and for the annual spring formal, held at the Clear Lake Country Club. Next year the two present freshman members will carry on, aided by a newly elected freshman representation, and will doubtless turn out a season of activities as successful as those of this year's group. DEBATE A squad of seasoned, unseasoned, and half-seasoned Trojan warriors bore the blue and gold of M. C. J. C. through a successful season in the man- ly art of debating. Coach Crosen's sil- ver-tongued orators shot volleys of words at, around, into, and over the heads of representatives of eight dif- ferent colleges, encountering one of these schools on three separate occas- ions and two others on two occasions each. The teams met during the year were Fort Dodge junior College, State Teacher's College, Waldorf Junior Col- lege, Luther College, State Teacher's College Freshmen, Elkader junior Col- lege, Sheldon junior College, Center- ville junior College, and Burlington Junior College. Although a number of these tilts were non-decision, the local collegians emerged from the fray of the regular season with the enviable record of having won all their decision debates. In the last week of March, Mason City participated in the state tourna- ment for two year colleges at Iowa City. Mason City's teams, consisting of Arnold Tice and Dick Stevens on the affirmative and Harry Schulman and Dick Stevens on the negative, went through this tournament with only one defeat-that to Burlington, the state champions--and succeeded in captur- ing third place in the state. The tour- nament at Iowa City closed the 1932- 33 season. A number of freshman and sopho- more men earned their letters in debate this season. Joe Ober, who was unable to participate during the latter part of the season because of illness, won a bar for his gold M - the highest award Mason Cityi Junior College offers for debating. Thayer Currie also earned his gold bar. Dick Stevens, Arnold Tice, and Harry Schulman won their major felt M's , while minor felt M's were awarded to john Heine, James Stinehart, and Bob Simon. This year saw the inauguration of a policy of awarding major felt letters to the de- baters who took part in decision de- bates and minor felt letters to those who participated in non-decision tilts throughout the season. Although Ober, Tice, and Currie will be lost by graduation, Stevens, Schulman, Heine, Stinehart, and Simon will be back to battle next yearg and mentor Guy L. Crosen has high hopes of another season as successful as 1932- 1933. CCLLEGE Y Pres1dent .......A.........,.. . .............,. ....,,........,..,....,...,,A, , Vice-President ......,...

They began the activi- ties with a get-together membership party for all girls in the College. The president had been elected the year before and so was ready to take charge of the first cabinet meeting of the year, at which other officers and cabinet mem- bers were chosen. At Thanksgiving time, bas- kets were given to the needy in Mason City. This project was carried out with the Metal Market idea. By Xmas time all the freshman girls were accustomed to their offices and the club was running smoothly. An annual affair for Col- lege Y girls, a Christmas party for the kiddies, was held in the Y. W. North parlor. A group of Grant school children were invited and each one received a toy and popcorn ball. Games were played and stories told around the big fireplace. After the holidays the Charm Sister project began. This is the second year the club has carried this out, and everyone enjoyed it. A Charm Sister dinner was held at the Y, when the name of each gir1's charm sister was cleverly revealed. According to tradition, a committee was appointed to write and direct the original Mu- sical Comedy. The committee consisted of Charlotte Ames, Natalie Wilson, Dorothy Dwelle, and Mildred Boggie. The comedy was named Barry's Boots and was to have been presented Friday, May 5, but on account of conflicting College activities, the production was put off. It was suggested that the same comedy be used next year, but nothing definite was decided. The activities of the season were closed by the sponsoring of a Mother-Daughter Tea, held at the Y. W. C. A.

This was due to the fact that eight of the brothers couldn't stand to break the ties with the Alma Mater and returned for more punishment. The fifth semester boys drafted over twenty sophomores and the club was set in motion, whack, - Oh, pardon us, there was no initiation. The dramatic undertakings were carried on in the form of a ten-cent assembly. Convic- tion of the club on charges of embezzlement were avoided by turning the spoils over to the Junior College Activities Fund. No calamities befell the actors due to the immaturity of the vegetables at so early a date. Among the major achievements of the club for the year, The Turkey Hop is prominent. This was a partnership undertakingg the Ga- zooks did the work, George Bartlett and his Victorians furnished the music, and the Col- lege Y kept the boys company. Later in the year the Gazooks alone sponsored the Second Annual Basketball Prom. A fine crowd turn- ed out to hear the music of Tiny Little and his Texas Toe Teasers. According to the custom laid down by the brothers of the organization in by-gone years, the club closed the year with a dinner party at the Clear Lake Country Club. FOOTBALL Coach Judge Grirnsley's Trojans donned their uniforms early in the fall for the 1932 season and reported for practice on the turf of the stadium. There were approximately thirty-five candidates romping around the field during the first few days, but the num- ber Was cut to twenty-seven who worked for the opening game with Waldorf. This game, captained by Chuck Walker, a veteran fullback, was a great success. The score at the end of the fracas was 69 to 0, in favor of the Trojans. The Britt team was the next victim of the spirited Grimsleymen.. Detra captained this game and led his charges to a 28 to 6 victory. The local boys met tougher opposition in the next game, which was with Ellsworth. Captain Cross and the boys were only able to tie the Iowa Falls team at a score of seven to seven. Emrnetsburg and Estherville handed defeats to the Trojans in their next two games. Em- metsburg was victor by a score of 19 to 6, and Estherville, playing on their home field won, 15 to 0. Snell captain- ed the former and Stoecker was captain at the Estherville encounter. The Tro- jans were greatly rejuvenated in their next game and won it, a 13 to 7 victory in an exciting game with Wartburg College. The ancient rivals, Ft. Dodge Junior College, were the opponents for the final game. The contest lived up to all expectations by ending in a score- less tie. Walker and Snell captained the last two games. All in all the sea- son was a partial success, with three wins, two ties, and two defeats. Chuck Walker was chosen by the Junior Col- lege team as the most valuable player of the 1932 season. With the return of a sizeable group of this year's players and substitutes, and a field of new ma- terial, next year's edition of the Tro- jans should be bigger and better than ever. BASKETBALL Coach Chick Sutherland gathered a group of forty candidates and pre- pared for a strenuous season, with vis- ions of another Hawkeye Champion- ship in mind. After several periods of intense practice, the Trojans were ready to meet the Maid Rite team, of the local Y. League. john Ross Win- nie was elected captain of the team be- fore this game, to serve for the entire season. The opening game with the Maid Rite's was won quite easily, al- though the playing was ragged. In the next four games the Trojans hung up victories over Emrnetsburg J. C.g Boone J. C.g Elmer Richards, of the local Y Leagueg and Marshalltown J. C. Estherville, presenting the next opposition, romped away with a win of 56 points to 32. Boone J. C. took revenge on their home floor by a score of 27 to 22. The Trojans next lost to Rochester J. C. by a score of 42 to 32. On a two-day trip to Emmetsburg and Estherville, the Trojans tasted defeat twice in as many nights. During this run of five losses, the proteges of Coach Sutherland seemed to have hit an unavoidable slump. In the next game the boys were much improved, enough to repeat a victory over Mar- shalltowng but they slumped again in the next encounter, to take a severe dubbing from Fort Dodge. The Trojans Went into the district tournament at Estherville with every- thing to win and nothing to lose. They reversed tactics on Northwestern J. C. the giant-killers of the Hawkeye Con- ference, and tripped this team by a score of 45 to 27. It was by a margin of eleven points that the team lost the next game to Waldorf and thereby forfeited the right to participate in the state tournament at Iowa City. Al- though this year's team was supposed to be one of the best in the history of the school, the season was freakish. The Trojans broke even by chalking up seven wins and seven losses. ..- WIG AND MASQUE The first meeting of the Wig and Masque was called October third with the president, Maxine Beerman, pre- siding. The officers for the first se- mester were elected as follows: Vice-President .....,... Katherynne Trissel Secretary 8: Treas. ..,...... Helen Wurtzer Sergeant-at-Arms ..,,........... Howard Ross Many new members were present and the group was enthusiastic. Meet- ings were held every two weeks, and many fine productions were given by student casts, and presented by stu- dent directors. The play most enjoyed by the members of the club during the first semester was Where Love Is . It was given twice, first being directed by Barbara -Walker, and next by john Ross Winnie. A few new members came into the club at the opening of the new semes- ter. New officers were elected as fol- lows: President .................. ,.....,.. M ax Gaspar Vice-President ...,...,..........,..... Dick Stevens Secretary 8: Treas. .,......, Harriett Stubbs Following the routine of the first semester, plays were presented and several student reports were given. Probably the outstanding play was Matter of Choice, directed for the club by Betty Senneff. This play, with a selected cast, went to Iowa City to the play contest and placed first. This year our club has been asked to join the Delta Psi Omega, the na- tional honorary dramatic fraternity. We hope that the club can carry on next year with the same quality of enthusiasm and ability that has been shown during 1932 and 1933, and to the members who will not be with us next year, we say goodbye and good luck from the Wig and Masque Club. STATE CHAMPIONS The climax of the year's dramatic activities for the Wig and Masque was reached in the one act play A Matter of Choice . This play, one of the many presented under student direction dur- ing the year, was selected by a com- mittee of the club to represent Mason City junior College at the State Play Production Festival at Iowa City, March thirtieth and thirty-first. The cast, composed of Miriam Brager, Billy Sullivan, Lois Hanson, jane Sshott, Betty Green, Dorothy De- Bruyn, and Howard Ross, are to be congratulated on their splendid per- formance. Mason City, up against competi- tion of the leading junior Colleges of the state, came through to win first place for Iowa two year colleges. Pro- fessor Fiderlick, of Drake University, critic-judge, gave Miss Green the high- est possible rating for her excellent work. The play was directed' by Miss Shimmick, sponsor of the Wig and Masque Club. May the Wig and Masque in years to come repeat the achievements of this season. SCDCIAL HIGHLIGHT The Faculty reception, which tra- ditionally opens the college social cal- endar, was held in September, at the Y. M. C. A. The evening's entertainment began with a program presented by the faculty, which included addresses of welcome made by Principal Rae and Dean Rugland, as Well as a humorous skit, in which several instructors par- ticipated. Following the program, the guests entertained themselves with the various diversions which the place af- fords., One of the most successful events of the season was the Turkey Hop sponsored by the College Y and Ga- zook club on November twenty-third. Miss Charlotte Ames was chosen queen of the Hop from a group of nominees previously chosen by the students of the High School and Junior College which included Charlotte Ames and Betty Green, College Sophomoresg Kathryn Ramsey and Betty Senneff, College Ffeshmeng Marjorie Brown and Domini Haynes, Freshmeng jean Barclay and Harriet Currie, Sopho- moresg Betty Bull and June Gaylord, juniors: and Mary Fitzpatrick and Margaret Handel, Seniors. George Bartlett's orchestra furnished the mu- sic for the dance. Alumni and students gathered in large numbers for the twelfth annual Homecoming dance held December twenty-ninth at the Hotel Hanford, for which Cec Hurst and his orchestra played. The committee in charge was composed of Charlotte Ames, Dick Stevens, Kathrynne Trissel, john Ross Winnie, and Harriett Stubbs. This dance is increasingly significant as the major event of the holiday season and this year extended the tradition through the meeting of old friends and classmates. On March thirty-first, the Ga- zooks sponsored their second annual Basketball Prom, to which the high school was invited. Tiny Little's Tex- as Toe Teasers was the band selected for this highly successful affair. The annual picnic and the dinner dance, occurring in May, closed the year's social activities. The picnic was a very informal, hilarious affair, which provided release for the students from the work of preparing for semester exams. The annual spring banquet, which was held at the Clear Lake Country Club May twenty-sixth, was a gay and colorful event and furnished a happy climax for the year. . ,-X,- :L-Q' .V ' 5 ,J .98 R366 ' evf .

About the Annual staff, But please don't laugh, When really had ought to feel sorry. There was a young girl named Hille, Who went out in rain and got chilly. It's affected her they said, As they put her to bed: And that's why you'll find the Annual quite silly. This same young girl named I-Iille, Who went out in the rain and got chilly, Of the Annual she's editor-in-chief: And it's easy to beliefg That's what makes the blamed thing so silly. There was also a guy named Gildner, Who ran around with the speed of a worn out cylin- der. He hustled up ads Including his dad's But he ought to have been our milliner. And another guy who's name is Garfin. Around the office he's always harpinfg I'm the big cheese here, And no one need fear, As assistant in chief, he's as good as worn out pin. Then there's that bozo called Woodward, With a look that's really quite wayword. He's never to be found, When he's wanted around, He must think he's some sort of a jaybird. Now we come to that girl named Clark, And we must confess it's a larkg To think of the things, That foolishness bringsg To those activities, she wanted to mark. Next is that dame named MacMillan Who'd make a very good looking villain. She handles the jokes, About a few poor blokesg At which nobody laughs and nobody's willin'. And now we come to the great Dunlop, Who want's to become a big police cop, He has pictures of men, And one or two of the fem: But he really has notdone lot. Then there comes the guy named McEwen, Over his troubles he was always brewin'. He wrote the senior class history, How he done it is still a big mystery, And over it yet you will find him still stewin'. hair- And there was also a fellow Prusia Who every one thot came from Roosia. HE wrote and played for the band, It was more than we could standg So we licked him just like his ma useta. And then there was that lazy mug GRIER? Who should have been thrown out on his ear. HE wrote about boys, Who played with toys: That's what makes athletics a very bum steer. And next came a girl named Cookman Who really and truely was a bad one. IT was girl's athletics, That gave us our headiksg And showed us how fast a girl could run. And oh there was a young girl named Swift Who often caused quite a rift. She told us what we were going to be, Folded it up and called it the class prophecy. It was all quite untrue and her coffin will be so to lift. Oh yes and the young lady named Darland, She should have been sent to some far land. She drew up her willg It remains here still. We'll trade it for onley an onion garland. Next we meet a young lass named Handel, As useful as a wornout sandle. She done dramatics and debateg We ought to give her the gate, There no better than a burned out candle. And then that wee little girl called Clough, Onley a high school girl in the roughg What the freshies have done, When they haven't begun! Life And for her is going to surely be tough. lest we forget there's also a Currie Going no where but in a hurry. The history of sophomores, Was her only chores, And the wrath of the staff and all its fury. There also was a girl called Breese Who ambled about with a perpetual wheeze. She We But And Sits She And And And For made us a picture tried to ristrict her, she done pretty much as she pleased. lastly the girl named Krumbholz back and her hands she foldsg typed all the stuff, it's all up to snuff not to be used to plug up the wholes. oh this is the end of my Story the writer I hope you'll feel sorry, When the body is found Please gather around, And view him so bloody and gory. easy EarnestIy Recommended I l WRIGHT'S l PHOTOGRAPHIC I SERVICE PHOTOGRAPHERS TO THE 1933 MASONIAN WRIGHT STUDIOS VANCE MUSIC CO.

GRIER'S REPLY TO SIR HECKERSON Do you think that your little or futile at'- tempt to antagonize me will prove successful or were your intentions to put me into better spirits. I admit succumbing to the latter. I doubt if anyone could read what I take you to have written seriously. If you would glance back over the piece which you have so tenderly submitted you might also see the situation as I readily noted. Also you will certainly real- ize that you are entirely incapable of writing poetry as you unfortunately do not have suf- ficient brain capacity for such strenuous labor. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for such an amusing time, and I also want toapologi-ze for smiling at the results of an affected mind. I remain your affectionate and ardent Better, Harold Grier.

STORE DON'T GROW OLD YOUTH is not a time of life, it's a state of mind. It is not a matter of red cheeks and supple legs-it is a temper of the will-, a qual- ity of the imagination and vigor. Youth means temperamental predomi- nance of courage over timidity, adventure over the life of easeg this often exists in one of 50, rather than one of 20. Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear and des- pair-in these are the long years, that bend the heart and turn the spirit back to dust. You are young as your faith, as old as your doubt. As young as your self-confidence, and as old as your despair. In the mental plain of your heart is an ever-green tree-its name is LOVE-as long as it flourishes, you are YOUNG, when it dies, you are OLD. In the central places of your heart is a wireless station-as long as it receives mes- sages of beauty, hope, cheer, grandeur, courage and power from the earth, from men and from the Infinite, you are YOUNG. When the wireless is down and all central places in your heart are covered with snows of cynicism and pessimism, then you are OLD, even at 20. CENTRAL SHOW PRINTING CO.
