WEKTISEKS 'United All We Heed Thy Call FOREWORD As we have journeyed down the pathway of education, we have been surrounded by a rainbow of days—grey cloudy days, bright sunny days, blue melancholy days. Days that match all the colors of the rainbow, at the foot of which is found that mythical pot of gold. The pot of gold, found at the end of this colorful rainbow of opportunity, is not mythical but real—success resulting from mastering a vocation or trade. So we leave Vocational, marching toward that pot of gold! We leave behind us a beautiful rainbow of memories which we will cherish forever as an invaluable treasure. • STAFF Lloyd Thompson Pearl Niles James M.

Gillis To the most beloved friend of Miller Vocational High School, we dedicate the 1938 Tradewind . . . Mr. Charles H. Gillis. Several months before any member of the faculty or student body entered the old building, Mr. Gillis had begun to put the building in condition for official proceedings. He has been supervisor of work here ever since. His twenty-four years of service as chief engineer at Vocational were regretfully terminated on February I, 1938. He has always been guided in his work here by a slogan which expresses his love for Miller— Whatever is best for the school, it will be done. i UAi 0 . s i’'' • Inspiration Elizabeth M. Fish Through ceaseless effort and undaunted courage, Miss Elizabeth Fish has made Miller Vocational as we see it today. As principal of Miller since its birth, twenty-four years ago, Miss Fish has always put forth her plans in the manner she thought best for the betterment of the school. Her thoughtfulness and unselfishness are assets which everyone respects. Without Miss Fish there probably would be no Miller Vocational and any growth in the future will be inspired by her. Agnes R. Crounse Her unmatched personality, warm friendliness, ond her willingness to help others make her one of the most beloved personages in Miller. She always has a friendly smile and an encouraging word of advice for all who encounter her. The thought of Miss Agnes Crounse will forever linger in the hearts of the 1938 graduation class as one of the brightest hues in the rainbow of memories. I • Cooperation Loft to right—M. Honry, M. Coopor, M. Thomson. W. Morgan. To fully appreciate a vocational school, one must realize the important work which is carried on by the administrative body. Without these people—the principal, assistant principal, the co-ordinators, and the heads of departments—placement seniors would probably never have an opportunity to work in their trade, outside of school, before graduation. Cooperation is the keynote of the functioning of this administrative group. Close contact between the principal, assistant principal, the co-ordinator, and heads of departments is always maintained through reports and talks about students. The principal has charge of the executive organ of the building, directs courses, and plans the school program. Discipline problems are taken care of by the assistant principal, so are federal aid and state aid students. Duties of the heads of departments are to study the students, to note the progress being made, to contact the parents if there isn't enough advancement, and to suggest new courses of study when necessary. They plan the programs of the students and teachers in the department. They also take care of federal aid. The heads of departments are chosen by the faculty members and are allowed periods free from teaching so that they may do the work which is so important to the advancement of students and the progress of the school. When the students are ready for placement, the head of the department reports to the co-ordinator just what the individual is like—-trade information, cooperation, character, personal appearance—all are taken into consideration before he is placed. Even after graduation, the co-ordinators are willing to help unemployed graduates. But the co-ordinator's work does not stop iust at obtaining work for those in placement. The co-ordinators must keep up with the latest developments in machines and ascertain whether it would be advisable to obtain these machines for the school. Much discussion follows with the principal, the teachers in the department, and the department head until a decision is reached, and the machine is either purchased or rejected. Also, the co-ordinator must keep up with labor situations and problems—must know the wages paid in the trade—just what the demands are as far as speed and skill are concerned in various occupations. The chances of employment are studied very thoroughly, and if deemed necessary, new courses are introduced so that a higher rate of efficiency is obtained. This administrative group is earnestly striving to cooperate in every way possible with the students and teachers for the betterment of vocational training. 2 • Voice of the People First Row—M. Du Bois, secretary; Leo Schertzer, president; Miss Fish, advisor; K. Kopvilor, vice presidont; K. Gans. treasurer Second Row—P. Coleman, R. Schleo. V. Holm, L. Christianson. Third Row—J. Anderson, M. Schneider, H. Swodberq, M. Quimby, M. Chamborlain. Fourth Row—B. Reynolds. K. Greon. G. Schultz, H. Schmidt. A. Hummsky. J. Poucher. What an outstanding year this has been for the Supreme Councill Immediately after election of officers, the council plunged into a sea of hard work. Leo Schertzer, as president, was elected to head the plunge with plenty of splash from the vice-president, Kathleen Kopvieler; secretary, Maxine DuBois; the treasurer, Kathryn Gans; and the rest of the hard-working, efficient members. The complex method of securing members for this school government group insures the student body of being represented by only the most efficient students. Each home room is made up of students from the same trade department; and from their group, they elect their two most outstanding students to represent them in the department council meeting. In turn the department councils elect their two best qualified members as the group president and secretary. This election makes them the delegates to the Supreme Council. In order to be a true democracy, all bills or suggestions must originate in the home room, pass through the department council before the Supreme Council may deal with them. Never before has the Supreme Council, with the aid of the Department Councils, undertaken and succeeded in so many projects. To enable any school group to go on educational excursion trips, yearly paper sales were inaugurated to finance these excursions. The first paper sale, held November 25, netted $32.31 for this fund. Miller's official delegate to the annual Northwest Federation of Councils' Convention, held at Stillwater on November 12, was Helen Ryan. The convention was especially interesting because it was conducted exclusively by students, and many worthwhile ideas were brought back. The most important news of the convention was the fact that Miller's president, Leo Schertzer, had been chosen to represent the Northwest district at the National Convention of Student Councils in New York this June. The Supreme Council, overjoyed at Leo's selection as the Northwest delegate, felt it a privilege, indeed, to help finance his trip. They employed a most unique method of raising money. An extensive campaign on the sale of magic slates was held, and through their persistent efforts they raised $34.82. The council planned an internal improvement program. Extensive cleanup campaigns were inaugurated which resulted in a cleaner, quieter, more orderly school, a higher banking percentage, and a more conscientious student body. 3 • Extra Special • Say Ah Miss C.

They have served the school faithfully throughout the year, keeping the building a warm and respectable place of business so that everything may look presentable in the eyes of any stranger that may chance to come within its walls. So to these faithful custodians of the building let us give thanks. Have you ever wondered just how our school business runs so smoothly? It certainly wouldn't without a loyal office force! Think of all the telephone calls, the attendance records, the program cards, and the hundreds of other things that must be done throughout the school year. The office force shows grand school spirit, and so the students say, Hats off to them. 5 HaPP'ness L;k «nd Life L,ber� y Both Cremes Hold Still Just a Profile King for a Day 6 It's an Honor • Student Foremen The Boss Here's to one so patient, So good, so kind, so true, That's plugged along and helped us. And been a swell pal, too. To the ever loyal Mr. Steere. we are sincerely grateful for his inexhaustible work as Senior Adviser for the class of '38. THE SENIOR CLASS Stadtherr, Walter— Wally Personality on the air, Individualism's there. As president of the Senior Class, Wally has done an efficient job that any class might be proud of. He has taken an active part in the school in the Radio Club as president, and as vice-president of the High School Council. Rasmusson, Keith— Rasputin A brother to everyone. Keith, the vice-president of the Senior Class, has become known throughout school for his congeniality and ever-ready smile. His outstanding work, as first page editor of the Crier, earned him the position of editor-in-chief this semester. The B.A.A. has Keith on their list of members, too. DuBois, Maxine— Heart-beat What an outstanding airl is she, One of your favorites, she's sure to be. Maxine, the Class secretary, has certainly taken an active part in school activities. She has been secretary of the Merrie Miller Players, the Student Council, a Supreme Council member and a Seton High member. Maxine has an excellent start to becoming a first-class secretary. Stillings, Charlotte— Chick With a lot of ambition and high ideals, To everyone her smile appeals. Charlotte took over the job of treasurer with all the zeal one could possibly ask for. She stepped into the job after Delmar Gifford went to work. Chick has been a member of the Radio Club, Girl Reserves, and Social Dancing. 7 • Master Craftsmen BANCROFT. ANITA Her stylo and walk are always neat, To every one her smilo is sweet. Anita deserves a couple of bows. Sho has distinquished herself as chairman of the Public Forum committee, a member of several years' standing with tho Merrie Miller Players, a major player in several Commencement Pageants, is one of the newest additions to the Radio Club, and the holder of a position on the honor roll that isn't to be ignored. BOSS. JEANNE— Jeanie All good roads at sometime cross: At these roads you'll meet Jean Boss. The road where you meet Jeanie undoubtedly will be the road of success. She has been an active membor of tho Student Council and Girl Reserves Cabinet. ENGH, HELEN Tho shining rays of her briqht smile reflects in hor golden hair. What Helen has most is a heap of charm, but the real reason for all the envy, is that hor schol-astic standing is second to none in tho High School Department. Hor laurels also include a membership in tho Soton High Guild, tho Girl Reserves, and a position on tho Tradowind Staff. FUNK, HELEN Beautiful are hor shining oyos. Always displaying groat surpriso. But to find Helen's picture gracinq this page of outstanding seniors is not a surprise to anyone. Besides her exceptional scholastic standing, she holds something of a record as a dancing fan. Her activities include the Folk. Rhythm and Social Dencinq Clubs, as well as Girl Reserves. GAGE. ANNA MAE— Slaphappy This girl is jolly, and also gay, Sho sings a song through ovory day. Anna Mae's exceptional scholastic rating through her Vocational years has merited a place in this list of outstanding seniors. Studies, however, do not take up all of her time, as is proved by her membership in the Glee Club and Girl Reserves. GAMMELL. JAMES M. -Whizz----z----z----z---- That was Jimmy! Jimmie Two M’s and two L's, Millionaire Gammel is one fellow that's going places, you can bet your last shoo on that! Sorving two years as tho business manaqer of the Crier, one year in the same position on the Tradowind Staff and tho B.A.A. over, above, and in addition to some noteworthy work in dramatics, plus a high scholastic standinq. would seem to indicate a lot of business ability. JOHNSTON. RALPH— Misfit To worry, is folly. Let's laugh and be jolly. What more can bo said about Ralph. In these few words are the key to his whole personality suggesting his good humor, fine sportsmanship, friendliness and open-mindedness. Ho is a member in good standing of tho B.A.A., Football and Basketball teams, the Glee Club, and of tho Crier staff. LINDBLAD. RICHARD— Sing Bad His many talonts are well known, Especially with the xylophone. Dick holds the distinction of being ono of tho bettor-known musicians. He is an accomplished performer on tho vibra-harp, the piano, violin, cornet, and drums. 8 • • More Master Craftsmen MARTIN. MARION “Her personality is woll known. Her love for drawing is woll shown. ''Blondes.' Marion emphatically states, aro not dumb. And if you're inclined to press the issue, she can point to her own position on the honor roll as ono of the best records in school. But she probably wouldn't because she's much too modest. Nor would she mention the fact that she still has time to be a Girl Reserve, a member of Seton Hy. and tho Folk Dancinq Club, and assistant editor of the Crier. MEELBERG. EDDIE Quiet in a gonial way, He'll win success in future days.” Eddio's outstanding work as editor of fourth and first page of the Crier and his splondid initiative has stamped him as an outstanding person. Ho has been a member of tho B.A.A. and the Studont Council. OLSEN. JOHN A charactor so fine and strong. A brilliant boy who can't go wronq. Hore's an exceptional chap that is really an all around fellow—exceptional athloto, student with a superior scholastic record, and a partakor of outside activities as well. RAFTER, MABELLE A croetivo writer is Mabolle. How she does it. Oh, pray tell. Mobello's is the kind of writing that springs of great inspiration. Her poem. Keep Me Within Thy Guiding Care, was road by Youth at the closo of I Sing Democracy. the ‘37 Commencement pageant. Her many contributions to the Crier are well romomborod. She is active also in the Community Sing Club. Dramatic Club, and Student Council. RUSS. LORRAINE— Rusty Why a girl with all that smile and zip and go Was ever tagged 'Rusty' is more than wo know. Rusty has quite obviously been active in her years at Miller as is shown by her membership in the Glee Club. Seton Hy. Girl Reserves, G.A.A., and Knitting Club. SWEDBERG. HELEN— Swede Her crowning glory is her hair, Sho's lovely to look at, and always plays fair. Helen has come to the top as both vice-president and prosident of tho Girl Roserves, and advertising manager of the Crier. THOMPSON. LLOYD— Bud Good humored eyos, o dotermined chin. A smile that says. 'Come on right in'.” Hore's tho secret of Bud's success: Lot's of good humor and energy up. It's as simplo as all that. Just belong to the B.A.A. for three years, join the Dancinq Club, do a couple of years' work on the Crier, be a star football player, and edit the Tradowind TOPEL, DAWN Sho is swoet and torriblo shy, But sho has friends, my. oh my! Who wouldn't want to bo a friend of a girl who possesses such a pleasing personality. In hor many acitvities sho has always boon an activo mombor—tho Style Club, Personal Appearance Club, and tho Service Club hevo all benefited by hor membership. 9 Just a Romeo Homeward Bound Will You?

Swonsrud. Third Row—T. Kopplo, F. Schorieble. D. Kean, A. Heffron, C. Hilary. Coordinator—Miss Henery Take a Letter The business world demands speed and accuracy as its outstanding characteristics. Accuracy is useless without speed and plays an important part in all business activities. Speed lacking its illusive companion is a lost purpose. Stenography, comptometry, multigraphing, and telegraphy combine to make up our thorough business department. Each division requires English, history, bookkeeping, filing, and office training. A stenographer needs shorthand and typing. A successful comptometer operator must have a knowledge of the Comptometer and Burroughs machines. To operate his machine to advantage, he must be familiar with all kinds of business arithmetic. Multigraphing demands ability to turn out a good-looking job on all duplicating ma- Mrs. Schmid chines. Telegraphers must possess an understanding of the International Morse Code and capacity to administrate his understanding through his mind and fingers. In order to secure a good office job, a person must become efficient, quick, and accurate in his chosen trade. • Office Force No. I Anderson, Juanita Sweet and shy, this little lass, At any timo she'll more than pass.

They must be alert, accurate, and able to serve the public. The training received is most beneficial. No other high school in the city offers such complete training. Every student studies dietetics and menu-making. Chemistry, English, and history, also play an important part in the daily curriculum. The first year is given over to the preparation of hot dishes and puddings and the preserving of fruits and vegetables. The second year’s work consists mainly of the making of cakes, pastry, cookies, and candies. Practical work in cooking and serving is received in the Vocational Tea Room, where the public is welcome. After completing this course, the girls are placed as servers and cooks in private homes, tea rooms, cafes, grills, and coffee shops. With additional training, a girl may specialize in a certain branch of the trade. 14 • Soup's on Dady, Dorothy— Dot Here's a qirl that's loads of fun, For a jolly friond, she's the one.

But before they become professionals, their training musf be very extensive and up-to-date—the application of this learning, an artistic modern product. Every phase of beauty work is taught and, upon completion of the course, the student has been expertly trained in hair-waving, shampooing, marcelling, massaging, manicuring, permanent waving, and in the giving of facials and hair treatments. Academic subjects are also taught in order to enrich the students' cultural life and to give them a wider scope of knowledge. Perfection is secured by constant experimentation and practice among themselves. The most able students are then placed in the school beauty shop where they receive valuable practical training. Upon completing a thousand hours of training, the student is eligible to take the State Board Examinations. Passing the examination entitles the student to an operators’ license and a job. ® Beauty Is Law First Row—F. Schultz, oresident; Miss E. Gandor, adviser: H. Wolfo. Second Row—P. Moran. E.

Coordinator—Miss Thomson Practice Makes Perfect A girl who begins with a keen interest in clothes will go far in the dressmaking industry. Nimble fingers and artistic ability, together with good eyesight, are the important requirements of a girl who is about to enter dressmaking training. With these assets, accuracy and speed eventually develop. The first year of training consists of twenty weeks of hand sewing and twenty weeks of power-machine practice. While taking handsewing the student is taught how to form various types of seams, hems, buttonholes, plackets, and fancy stitches. During power-machine training the student is taught how to operate an electrified sewing machine. The first half of the second year is spent by students experimenting in actual dressmaking on garments for themselves. During the last half of the second year the student is given practical knowledge in pattern making. The most essential training is yet to come. This is the teaching of the actual construction of a garment as is done in any outside shop. This experience is invaluable to the student. After satisfactorily completing this training, the student is then ready to enter into the business world. 19 • Picking up Stitches Aamodt, Haiel— Amy'' One of Vocational's 'Little Women'—Amy' Anderson, Lillian— Squillian Quiet but sweet and full of pep, Some day she'll gain quite a 'rop'.

In many things he takes part. When the Industrial Art Department began working, a few years ago, it consisted of just a few members. Since then it has advanced in many ways. The work has improved greatly: the department is divided into three divisions, the design class, novelties, and metal craft. Miss Eloise Ball is the adviser of novelties, which consists of making articles from paper, beads, leather, and wood. Also included are bookbinding and block-printing. After two years of practice in the various subjects offered, the student makes a choice of specializing in one of them. He may enter the guild, novelty class, or high school. If the guild is the student's choice, he has an opportunity to make many types of articles for the Retail Store for which he receives a small compensation. The original artistic designs produced in the Craft Design Class are used in the metal and novelty shop. In the metal shop the students make plates, boxes, rings, and many small novelties. These are made from pewter, aluminum, silver, brass, and copper. The combination of two metals in a product tends to produce a more artistic effect, and so is often used. The related subjects that are required are history and English. 23 • Watch the Green Light First Row—E. Stromquist, W. Thoilig. Second Row—A. Jaques, M. Wright, A. Hodapp. Coordinator—Miss Thomson The Junior Nursing course enables a girl to develop all characteristics and skill necessary for the care of children and convalescents. The employer of a Junior Nurse looks for various qualities in girls, especially character and personality. The most desirable and necessary traits are a kind understanding nature, reliability, and patience. These qualities are needed because of the girls' constant association with children and the sick. The academic knowledge the girls receive in class, coupled with the experience gained in their attendance at nursery schools, makes them skilled in dealing with every type of child. They learn to cope with the problem child, the handicapped child, and the average child in the most modern, scientific manner. Their work at Vocational Hospital trains the girls in the simpler duties in the care of the sick. Dietetics and First Aid courses enable the girls to care for invalids or convalescent persons satisfactorily. Upon completion of the course, the girls are prepared to be placed in nursemaid jobs or may continue on with a nursing career. • Women in White Left to right—Miss M. Woltman.

Printing is progressive, because of the many new devices that are coming into the field every day. A printer must be gifted with good eyesight, nimble fingers, and mechanical ability. As a student enters Vocational, he will take an elementary course of composing and book-binding. Composing will consist of learning the case of type, how to set and distribute type, and all the fundamentals of the trade. The course in bindery will include jogging, counting, stitching, gathering, and all other essentials in book-binding. After the student has completed his elementary course in printing, he will be promoted to the advanced print shop. Here he will do the same work as before but on a larger scale. In addition to that, he will learn more extensive composition, pressfeeding, and layout in connection with design. For the boys and girls who have taken advantage of the opportunities while in school, jobs as a compositor, pressman, bindery worker, and proofreader are available. • Journeymen First Row — M.

These traits are stressed in their instruction to better equip the girls for satisfactory employment. A pleasing personality is necessary in order that a girl may converse intelligently and enjoyably with a customer. The ability to approach and handle people, to mark stock, to select merchandise, and to learn gift wrapping are taught in the trade information class. Personal Regimen is a vital part of the course. In this class the student is taught how to appear before the public and meet people with poise and confidence. Another thing she learns is the importance of etiquette. Also part of the Retail Training course is one-half year of bookkeeping and typing and one full year of math. Design is offered so a girl may be given a chance to develop her creative instincts. Window trimming is included in this class so that a girl may learn effectively to decorate display panels. Before successfully completing her course, a girl must study textiles for one year before graduating. After having had trade information the girl works in the Vocational Shop—first in the stockroom checking in merchandise and running the cash reqister; then she works on the selling floor where she has the experience of waiting on teachers, pupils, and outside customers.

The High School department consists mainly of students who wish to receive a high school diploma plus their trade diploma. The subjects taught include all the regular high school subjects, which are: algebra and geometry, world history, U. S. history, economics, civil government, English, and English literature. Economic and social changes which have occurred since the close of the World War, make a high school education necessary in nearly all lines of trade, and in some, it is an absolute necessity. Students in the high school course are those who have the foresight to see the need of high school graduates in the business world and the ambition to strive toward higher goals. By recognizing the pitfalls which they might encounter, in the business world, these high school students hope to avoid the greater part of these obstacles by arduous study. • Dynamos First Row—M.

For a trade must exemplify the desires and talents of the individual, skilled so as to enable him to be of service to his fellowmen and an asset to the community in which he lives. No person can attain this goal unless he is happy in his chosen work. His trade will be the prime factor in determining the amount of real satisfaction life will give him. Know yourself—your likes and dislikes, your capabilities and your failings. Decide what you want, then go after it with all the boundless energy and enthusiasm that is yours. Whether it be a career in business or cosmetology, printing or nursing, the goal is within your grasp if you will but know yourself, and. knowing, give the best that only you can give. No pinnacle will be too high, no dream impossible if you are living to the fullest extent of your energies and abilities. Find that unique occupation whose demands are adapted to your temperament, ideals, and abilities: that trade which captures and holds your most vital interest through the required period of training and apprenticeship. Measure yourself against your prospective job. If you find yourself matched with your work step by step—if you are sure there is no point found wanting, then you have achieved the first and most important step in your search for a life-long happiness. Don't be afraid to admit a mistake if you've made one! Mere skill insures neither success nor happiness. Be able to say at the end of the journey, I have taken all that life has given me, its adversities as well as its triumphs, and gloried in each grand adventure. Every day has brought experiences new and vital. I have given generously of myself, acknowledging my defeat courageously, my triumphs gracefully. Gladly would I relive each single day of it. Yes, a mighty thing, a trade—a promise of the glorious fulfillment of life! 36 • This Is MVHS First Row—F. Urnoss. E. Serbenski. W. StodtHorr. I. Brian. F. Taintor. A. Bancroft G. Van Note. F.

This is Station MVHS bringing you the regular Wednesday morning news broadcast. This well-known introduction greets the students of Miller Vocational every Wednesday morning as the Radio Club presents the broadcast of school activities. Delmar Gifford was president of the 1937-38 Radio Club until he was called out on a job. Walter Stadfherr, the vice-president, took over the position. Fern Taintor is assisted by Charlotte Stillings in filling the position of secretary. The Radio Club has had several outside meetings in the past year, one of which was a visit to Clellan Card's program one club morning at 7:00, and the news broadcast which follows after. With sleep in their eyes and a yawn in their mouths they were shown around the entire studio of radio station WCCO. To aid the club in presenting their programs in a more professional way, a strict set of rules was presented to the school which must be followed by clubs or teachers giving announcements over the Wednesday morning broadcast. The procedure necessary to put on a Friday entertainment program is extremely exact. The club president and Mr. Belstrom select an announcer for a certain program a few weeks ahead of the date of broadcasting. The announcer then goes to the head of the department that is sponsoring the program. He is informed as to the guest, the nature of the program, special properties for the stage, the groups which will be allowed to watch the broadcast, and the number of guest entertainers. From whatever source available the announcer gathers a background for the guest stars. With this material in one hand and a well-chewed pencil in the other, the announcer flits through the school for a week or so, doodling away his time until the deadline draws near. On the Monday preceding the program the poor announcer sits up half the night to write his script. The announcer appoints the host or hostess and the ushers. The qualifications to become a member of the Radio Club are a good voice and initiative. There is no restriction as to classification, but usually 5s or above are considered first. Mr. Chester Belstrom and Miss Clara Nelson are the advisers of the club. 37 • I Am Vocational Firs! Row—V. Stein. H. Swedberg, C. Gearou. Miss Fisk. K. Rasmusson. R. Maliborski. Second Row—D. Olson.

The snoopy reporters, the crabby editors, are the constituents for the proverbial newspaper, but in reality they are much more efficient and human than they are pictured. The staff is constantly on the lookout tor school news and stories that will make thoroughly good, informative, and sometimes amusing news. The Crier is issued twelve times during the school year. Deadline.” the editor’s worry, comes one week before each edition. At that time, each page editor, the editor-in-chief, and other staff members may be found scribbling frantically and frowning at each mistake—as though mistakes weren't human! The first process in the making of the Crier is to develop the layout. This is the pattern of a page, made in miniature. Then the page editors put up assignments and hope they will be followed. Each reporter finds it so easy to forget just what his assignment was. Sometimes they forget they ever had any. Then, when the deadline rolls around again, the page editors begin to wish they were somewhere else, far, far away. Out come pencils and paper and gray hairs begin to appear. When deadline is over, everyone heaves a sigh of relief. But another worry comes along. Can the paper be printed and distributed on time? This is usually a gamble, but the staff wins occasionally. Then comes a repetition of what went on before—and so on through the term. First Semester Staff: Editor-in-Chief, Charles Gearou; first page, Keith Rasmusson; second page.

In order to publish a year book that would be attractive and also hold the interest of the students, many types of work have been done in putting this book together. The Tradewind staff started working in October. Lloyd Thompson, editor, and Pearl Niles, assistant editor, have constantly worked at such duties as making a dummy, assisting with the printing, and doing some writing. The business manager, James M. Gammell, took care of all the money, which is a great responsibility, and also had charge of securing all advertising for the book. His assistant, Carolyn Bergstrom, took care of minor dutias and correspondence. The staff members who have contributed so much to the finished Tradewind are Helen Engh, Juanita Fleury, Audrey Hedlund, Lorraine Johnson, Charles Lauderdale, and Lorraine Russ, who specialized on write-ups. Polly Ann Olson and Robert Kurzeka combined energy to complete the picture schedules. Eugene Thompson worked with Miss Cantieny on the layout. All the members of the staff have put in many hours of their time and their best work in order that you might enjoy an entirely new Tradewind this year.

Every day during the ninth period voices can be heard, rising and bursting into song in the music room. This blend of voices signifies that the Glee Club is practicing. Mr. Chester E. Belstrom stands before the group with his baton (a rather battered one) and directs. The Glee Club has enjoyed an extremely eventful year. Aside from their regular work, they sang during the week previous to Christmas at the Leamington Hotel. On another occasion, the Glee Club sang several religious selections at a youth gathering at the Calvary Presbyterian Church. The experience gained through these guest appearances was worthwhile and inspirational. On February 24. 25, and 26. a quartet from the Glee Club went to the Vocal Clinic at the University of Minnesota. Here they learned the essentials of good singing. In May the Glee Club sang at the University in a Northwest competitive contest. 40 • One, Two First Row—E. Yrtqer. J. Moylan. C. Oqdon, W. Shields, D. Wycks, D. Andrews, B. Soltare, A. BaHke.

The soft, melodious tune of the waltz drifts dreamily across the dance floor, and dancing couples sway in rhythmic rhapsody; or gyrate swiftly to the steady beat and madly racing music of the fox-trot or two-step: feet and bodies blur into a swiftly changing panorama of colors and the joyous laughter of students sound out the swift pace of the polka or schottische as the dance orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Chester Belstrom, plays on and on at the regularly scheduled sunlite dances. In the music room, every day during the 5B lunch period, Mr. Belstrom waves his baton to the steady challenge of the militaristic march, or listens with sharply tuned ear to the rising cadenza or breathless, exhilirating surge of the crescendo, as the regular school orchestra strives to master the difficult passages of the operatic aria. These two organizations, the school orchestra and the dance orchestra, strive to please in all they do. Each member tries to make his work as perfect as possible, despite the lack of complete orchestration; their work is emblematic of their hopes for perfection. 41 • Curtain First Row—O. Krasen; G.

What a successful year the Merrie Miller Players have completed. Plays! Plays! Plays! And every one just overflowing with success. The enthusiasm of the members just oozed out of them, putting forth their best in all they attempted. Much of this year's success may again be attributed to Miss Selma Blessin, who was director of the club. Many of the old members faithfully clung to the club in their last year, despite the fact that they were heavily burdened with Senior duties and other outside activities. This dramatic club, when organized two years ago, was intended to be a subdivision of the Merrie Miller Players, but later became independent, and decided upon the name. Broadwayettes. So far its membership has been limited to the first year students. A rollicking comedy was chosen for their spring play, The First White Woman, which told the tale of a famous explorer. 42 • Everybody Sing First Row-N. Zwirtz. Mrs. Dixon. L. Potorson. D. Crandall.

All types of singing help in this way. but singing in unison gives the feeling that they are all pulling together in accomplishing a common interest. During the meetings, the members sing in rounds, harmonize, and revive the songs of yesteryear. The club adviser, Mrs. Dixon, accompanies the group on the piano. Many times the program includes solos, which are c.onTributed by the members. As the club is open to both boys and girls there is no limit to classification. The qualifications include, interest in singing, and willingness to do one's share to make the club a happier, peppier, more vital activity. The Community Singing Club has a large enrollment, which proves that many students are interested in helping form this kind of community get-together. 43 ® May I Cut in? First Row—Miss S.

With Miss Brannon and Miss Stone as instructors, who could resist the temptation of trying out some of the very latest dance steps. Their aim is to teach the students to keep their feet on the floor, or at least one foot. This club has an enormous enrollment of students eager to learn all they possibly can about dancing. The beginning pupils are placed in the patient hands of Miss Brannon who teaches them the fundamental steps of ballroom dancing. The students are kept in this class until they have successfully mastered the simpler steps. They are then placed in the advanced class which is under the direction of Miss Stone. Here they complete their training by learning more intricate steps. The students are allowed, after having entered the advance class, to do any type of dancing they wish. Both the smooth ballroom and fancy steps are among the types of dancing the students do at this time. 44 • Dear Olaf Left to right—A. Bancroft, C. Stillings, Miss Dougherty. M. Du Bois. First Row—E.

It is a comparatively new club in school, created by the demands of students interested in this kind of work. The letters of the club which are sent to foreign countries contain as much information as is possible about this school, city, and state, about sports, and a general idea of hopes and ambitions of students here. One purpose of this club is to become sufficiently acquainted with other countries to carry on an interesting written conversation with them. Another purpose of the club is to bring about a better understanding of the problems of life and living of young people of our own age in different countries. They have been successful already in corresponding with Poland. England, Germany, Costa Rica, Australia, Russia, and Nova Scotia. The city-wide public forum committee which started its first year of work, was under the auspices of the Adult Education Bureau. The forum was entirely under student supervision.

It is under the leadership of three advisers, Miss Dougherty, Miss Forester, and Mrs. Kelly. The club is noted for its committee system of dividing responsibilities. Nearly every girl in the club is given a piece of work on a committee, which will help her to make her club a more enjoyable recreation. A large variety of committees offer the girls a wide selection of duties. Of these committees the following girls are chairmen: program committee, Dorothy Dahlston; service committee, Elvera Gustafson: membership committee, Doris Drulenski: music committee, Jean Johnson: poster committee, Anna Mae Gage: worship committee, Pauline Hanson: social committee, Marjorie Turnball; publicity committee, Lorraine Thompson and Dorothy Olson: I. C. C., Lorraine Berqeron. Each chairman has several girls under her direction, and this helps them to develop executive ability and self-confidence. The girls arrange to have frequent entertainments. Amateur programs, fashion reviews, enlightening and educational speakers, breakfasts, and ceremonials, are some of the special amusements of their bi-weekly meetings. The girls also enjoy rollerskating, dancing, ping-pong, bowling, singing, swimming, and many other activities. They are not confined to one amusement but are permitted to move among them. This helps the girls in the club to know and enjoy one another much more. The girls are allowed to use the Y. W. C. A, building in any way to make their club work more interesting, and only for swimming and roller-skating is a small fee charged. The girls inaugurated a new paper which they have named the Blue Flash, containing interesting news about the girls, the club’s activities, candid opinions, the latest fashions, and beauty hints. Bessie Anagnost is the editor of this paper. At their meetings parliamentary form is used and these meetings are presided over by Helen Swedberg, the president. The minutes and funds are taken over by Diane Anagnost. the secretary. Leonora Rocheford is the club's vice-president. 46 Facing Life Squarely First Row—-M. Johnson. J. Hanson. C. Hilary. C.

The purpose of the Girl Scout organization is to help girls to realize the ideals of womanhood as a preparation for their responsibilities in the home and for service to the community. The Girl Scout program is based upon the interests, enthusiasms, and needs of girls. It is a program of mental, physical, and character-developing activities, with opportunities for camping and outdoor living. Through a series of varied and progressively organized group activities, such as nature study, home-making, community service, and creative arts, a Girl Scout learns the resourcefulness, sense of fair play, reliance upon impersonal standards, and group spirit which the modern world is asking of women. New things for old things! That, indeed, is an art in itself—to be able to create something new and lovely from something seemingly useless. This year the club has turned out a great variety of articles which includes such materials as bath mats, tin can covers, needle cases, holders, pillow covers, handkerchief cases, luncheon sets, book-ends, games, dish towels, rugs, doilies, and other numerous articles. Each member turns out about five or six articles a semester. 47 • Service, Not Self First Row—L. Borryman; L. Chos, socrotery: Miss E. Gander, adviser; G. Connoy. president; H. Woffe. Second Row—E.

The slogan of the Service Club is To Be Happy Makes Others Happy. This slogan is a good practice at all times. If if is kept up, its promises will come true. By doing helpful things, the students enjoy themselves and make the people they help extremely happy. They learn to help themselves by helping others, and in visiting needy homes and establishments they find which essentials of life are usually required. They learn through their associations with others to develop a pleasing personality. • Vividly Portrayed Pass the word around! We are going to meet in front of the Bingham Roller Company promptly at 8:10. This was the way the Graphic Arts Club met every other Friday. When they could not arrange to tour some printing plant, Mr. Morgan would tell the group some facts about the trade that could not be brought up in class during school hours. Mr. Morgan has made some extensive plans for the club. For instance, he plans that the club make a trip to Wisconsin to visit a paper mill. During the discussion periods, the group talks about new presses, and other late printing inventions by which better printing jobs may be obtained. Graphic Arts Club was organized this year and has proved a success. 48 • Purl One First Row—B. Molberq; Miss M. O. Tultlo, adviser; L. Strenge. Second Row—M. Anderson. R. Carlton. V. Peterson. L.

If anyone were to look in rooms 105, 212, or 315, bright and early on a club morning, he would see a group of happy girls busy with their knitting. Many girls have joined this club because of earlier interests in knitting or crocheting; others are anxious to learn how to knit. This club originated under the excellent supervision of Miss Mary Wright, about two years ago. Because of the ever-growing interest in knitting and crocheting, this club has enlarged into three groups. Miss. Mary Tuttle and Miss Margaret Carleton are assisting Miss Wright. Gay-colored mittens and sweaters, lovely afghans and scarfs are found among the many useful articles made in the club. The beginners are taught the first simple steps of knitting and crocheting, and the advanced students pride themselves with difficult and fancy stitches. The three groups are mixed with advanced students helping the beginners with their problems. An object of this club is to get acquainted with girls from other departments; this is done by the social activities offered. Several wienor roasts and hikes have been held during the past year. 49 • Swing Your Partner • My Dear Friends! First Row—F. Abuan, treasurer; A. Fredrickson, secretary, R.

The Folk Dancing Club meets in the little gymnasium every club day under the direction of Miss Dagny Dietrichson. In this club the students are taught old-time dances and the folk dances of many foreign countries. They usually warm up with a schottische, which is their favorite dance, and then throw in a polka and a mazurka for good measure. In Minneapolis there are many folk dancing groups which are more than willing to cooperate in teaching their dances so that the Folk Dancing Club might share in the enjoyment of them. One of the most businesslike clubs in school is the Political Club. They had charge of the school election for the Senior class officers and did a fine job ot it. The club furnished campaign managers and on the evening of election they had booths placed in the school rooms for the Seniors to vote. In this way they had a governmental election. The aim of the club this year is to study at its meetings different bills which come up before Congress. If there is time, they hope to study different kinds of governments. 50 • Clay Model • All for One First Row—P. Rogers: B. Robinson: Miss E. Stevens, adviser; B. Marshall: J. Anderson. Second Row—R.

The object of this club is to give the students a chance to learn the art of pottery making and also to have a good time socially. In this club the students learn to make pottery by hand, as well as by the use of the pottery wheel. Hikes, picnics, and wiener roasts are planned for gatherings of the club members outside of school meetings. If anyone happens to hear little verses being recited, he'll know it is the Verse Speaking Choir. This is a new club, which, with great ambitions, started this year under the supervision of Miss Ethel Stevens.

Sick children are happier because of the toys and picture books which the Scrapbook Club members create. Members select a toy which they would like to construct. After gathering the materials needed, they set to work sewing rag dolls and painting wooden toys. Many games for very small children are also designed. Colorful scrapbooks are made from pictures in which little children, are interested. At Easter time paper bunnies were prepared for the hospital trays. When a number of toys and picture books are finished, the members distribute them to the sick children in various hospitals and children's homes. Not a vacation, but a grand recreation, that is what 21 students say when they describe the Soap-carving and Paper-animal Making Club. This club meets in room 207 under the direction of Miss Wilhelmina Theilig. Members of this club have combined creative ideas along with their artistic talents, the results being carefully carved figures from soap and skilfully formed animals from discarded newspapers. This club is open to both boys and girls, the only requirements being a knife and a bar of soap for soap-carving, and some newspapers for paper-animal making. 52 ® Shoo+in' High First Row—B.

Miss Frisvold and Miss Hodapp are the advisers of the Craft and Hobby group. The future Eleanor Powells are instructed in tap dancing by Mrs. Forrest.

Just once more now, and we will call it a day, said Mr. Belstrom, as he conducted the new Retail Training Glee Club. This Glee Club was organized by Miss Carleton and is under the supervision of Mr. Chester Belstrom. It is the first departmental Glee Club ever to be organized in the history of the school.

In order to give the girls an opportunity to belong to another club, the G.A.A. does not hold its meetings on club Fridays. The officers are elected in September and hold office for one year. Gertrude Pahl served as president this year; Helen Schmidt, vice-president; and Ruth Arhaug. secretary. During the year the members partake in many various sports.

Each month the G.A.A. sponsors a sunlite dance at which the school orchestra plays. A roller-skating party was held at the Arena early in the fall, in which all of the G.A.A. members in the city participated.

Hey, where's the rack?” Don't put that much chalk on: it doesn't do any more good.” I play the winner of this game.” These are some of the sounds heard around the pool tables at the Y. M. C. A. Some of the activities which attract the boys are ping-pong, pool, swimming, water polo, monoply, and many other hand games in the recreation room at the Y. During the year there are many tournaments held in competition among the students in such games as pool, ping-pong, and water polo. Forest Gustafson, a well-known swimming instructor, teaches them swimming and fancy diving. These are only a few of the accomplishments one may acquire at the Y.

Hard work and constant effort enabled the Miller cagers to present clean games with all the thrills and excitement the fans could possibly hope for. Beginning the season with only three men of last year's squad, George Olson, Ralph Johnson, and Gordon Henderson, Coach Einor Eckholm brought his cagers through a successful season. A light, scrappy team, led by a pair of high-scoring forwards, Gordon Henderson and Howard Kephart, Miller's offense showed the average of 26 points per game. The defensive end of the Miller squad was upheld by John Olsen and Earl Skancke. and the reliable center, George Olson, who always gave his best efforts up to and including his final game as a Miller athlete. These five athletes were as fine a combination as Miller rooters could hope for. but it takes more than five men to comprise a well-balanced basket-ball squad. Few spectators realize that there is such a thing as a second team or reserves to help along the regulars when the going is rough. As it is, Miller has few reserves, but in spite of this handicap, came through in fine style. In the beginning of the year, the forward positions were composed of Ralph Johnson, Gordon Henderson, and Howard Kephart; but the loss of Ralph Johnson at the halfway mark, because of semester ruling, was a heavy setback. The Miller centers, George Olson and Edwin Lindor, used height in securing rebounds off the backboard. Although not high-score artists, the guards, John Olsen, Earl Skancke, and Ralph Johnston, played great floor games. Although the squad had a slow start, they played exceptionally fine ball in the sub-district tournament to outpoint a fast, alert team from Shakopee by a 25-24 upset on the Chaska floor. Coach Einor Eckholm is looking forward to next year’s schedule. There is some encouragement in the return of seven players of this year’s squad, which includes one junior, John Olsen, and six sophomores, Earl Skancke, Don Uggla, Edwin Lindor, Gordon Henderson, Howard Kephart. and Harold Smith. What more could a coach wish for than to direct a squad of ball-handlers and sharp-shooters as are found in this group? 59 • Touchdown First Row—M. Larson, R. Johnson, B. Burry, Copt. G. Hersom, C.

Serving his second year as coach at Miller Vocational, E’nor Eckholm piloted his gridders to a successful season with four wins and three losses. By defeating Bloomington High, the Millers clinched the runner-up position in the Minnesota Valley League. Having only five lettermen returning from last year's squad, Mr. Eckholm had the task of building his team from a group of inexperienced boys. The lettermen were: Captain-elect George Hersom, Clarence Taggatz, Ralph Bury. Lloyd Thompson, and Ralph Johnston. In their intial tilt of the '37 season, Chaska claimed the victory by a close 7-6 margin. The game, played in a slight drizzle, was a nip-and-tuck battle all the way. Playing before a large crowd on Color Day, the squad defeated Bloomington to the tune of 12-0. For the fourth straight year, the Millers defeated their arch-rivals, Boys' Vocational. by the score of 14-6, with George Hersom paving the wav to victory. Blake Academy succeeded in administering to Vocational the season's worst defeat by the overwhelming score of 26 to 6. Carter DeLaittre, Blake's rugged 190-pound fullback, played outstanding ball for the victors. St. Paul Academy's powerful eleven was the only other team defeating the Millers. O'Brien, St. Paul halfback, scored the winning touchdown with a grand exhibition of open field running with a 75-yard run. Playing their best game of the season, the squad took the Bryn Mawr Athletic Club 18 to 6. A combination pass, Johnson to Olson, led to all of Miller's touchdowns. Four Miller players were placed on the all-district team selected by Coach Eckholm and the Crier Sports Staff. The four selected were: Captain George Hersom. George Olson, Clarence Taggatz, and Ralph Johnston: ail four were veterans from last year. The Minneapolis Star merit award was awarded to Ralph Johnston at the annual banquet given for the purpose of recognizing some player who was of great value to the success of the squad. Sixteen letters were awarded at the annual lettermen's banquet, given by the school to the following: George Hersom, George Olson, Ralph Johnson, Earl Auvinen, Warren Olson, Lloyd Thompson. Ralph Johnston, Roy Niemi, Clarence Taggatz, Ralph Bury, Edward Foster, Roy Jurnberg, Don Malone.
