The 1940 Antler gives photographic evidence of a rich school life. If it conveys an impression of the good comradeship and the high ideals existing at Minnehaha, and if. in future years, it will renew memories of happy school days, its purpose will have been achieved. Providing that this year's publication shall have attained this goal, we feel that in this way our efforts have helped the departing Class of 1940 to leave their footprints on the sands of time.” —The 1940 Antler Staff. Business Manager Advertising Manager Alvin Strandberg Jack Linix.ren dedication ■ i To one who after many weeks of trial and illness returned to us with the same gentle, kind, understanding and jolly nature, the same ability to pass on to us his learning and wisdom, remaining steadfastly our friend and advisor during our years here at Minnehaha, this book is humbly inscribed.

We cannot deny that the future stares us squarely in our faces. Already during this year, so far as it has been, have we experienced untold joys, yea, even some sorrows, for instance, all our failures resulting from gruesome exams. But what is it the beloved John Bunyan says, Dark clouds bring waters, when the bright bring none. In this connection it would mean that many tears a'e shed because of dark clouds of examinations. As we Seniors look back upon our four years of high school, it strikes us as a dream, which has definitely become less vague, with each successive year. In this our fourth, and sad to say, our last year, we feel as though we have been awakened to the fact that we arc not dreaming, but living. Life now seems not an empty dream, but a full realization of hope and opportunities before us. These past weeks and months, we have been more or less reminiscing of past events. Step back with us, and we shall see what has been going on during the last four years. Our Freshman year brings us back to the fall of '36 and spring of 37. Thirteen cf th? nineteen Freshies arc still among us. At that time, ignorant and dull though we were, the Freshman class had already gripped the prevailing school spirit, and knew r!ie-e was something to look forward to. No doubt we appeared extremely green to the Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores. However, in the space of four years, we have graduall) acquired a considerable amount of knowledge—at least we think so—but undoubtedly rherc is still more to learn. Our first class president was George Bocan, but his term was very brief, and he was succeeded in the spring by Cecil Osterberg. After passing the awkward Freshman stage, we advanced a step and were classed Sophomores for the next year. Still fairly ignorant, and with eyes, mouths, and ears wide open, ready to receive any learning, we were apparently deep in this dream of life. Nevertheless, without any merit on our part, we gained the distinction of being the school's largest Sophomore class up to that time in the school history. We were well represented in various activities, and contributed, without a doubt, a great deal to the school spirit. Our two able presidents for the terms of our Sophomore year were, respectively, Phil Anderson, and Keith Olson. Not knowing, as yet, what toils our Senior year would bring, we as Juniors thought this a busy year. All spring we had various committee meetings, and were rushed with plans for the big Junior-Senior Banquet, which fortunately proved to be a big success. We evidently thought we were brave and chivalrous, for we had as our theme, Knight- (Continued on page 38) MINNEHAHA CAMPUS Pag S'Met a Classes Fourth row: H. Anderaon, A Pederson. L Johnson.

Freedholm The Bible Institute is the department of our school in which the students study the Bible and various phases of Christian Service. Rev. Freedholm. who is the Dean of the Bible Institute, together with pastors from the Twin Cities and nearby towns, heads the very efficient teaching force of this department. The students not only study the Bible, but they also receive practical experience by conducting meetings at Young People's S cietics. and at missions within the Turn Gties. These programs are put on cither by the group as a whole or by one of the three Gospel teams within the group. Many students, after finishing this course, enter into active service as missionaries, field workers. Y. P. leaders. Sunday school workers, and other openings where Christian workers are needed.

Under the inspiring direction of Professor Robert N. Pearson, the choir, numbering approximately eighty voices, as usual made its formal debut at two concerts presented in Minneapolis and St. Paul under the sponsorship of the Covenant Women's Auxiliary. The soloists were Einar Waermo ami George Hultgren. Concerts at various churches in the Twin Cities were also given. One of the biggest events of the year was the trip by bus to Duluth, where the choir was presented in concert at the First Covenant Church by the Covenant Women's Auxiliary of Duluth and Superior. On the return trip they gave a concert at Moose Lake. Minnesota. Broad casts have been given over stations WCCO. WTCN. and KSTP The last appearance of the choir was ar the graduation exercises.

Our school paper, the ’ Quiver. is published by the club, and club meetings are spent planning new issue, and constructively criticizing past issues. Originally published monthly, it is now a bi-weekly paper backed by an eager and interested student body. STUDENT COUNCIL President...................................................................Jack Starr Secretary..........................................................Jo Ann Adel I The organization of the Student Council was carried out in a different manner this year than in previous years. Committees were formed representing each phase of school life, such as the academic, religious, social, publications, forensics, athletics, and music. These groups consisted of students, together with one faculty member, who were vitally interested in the branch of school life with which their committee dealt. The leaders, with the co-operation of the President and Principal or the school, formed the Student Council. This type of organization placed the responsibility of leadership in the hands of those most interested and proved to be very efficient. H ° nd°W S,arT- J Llndgren. B. Middle row A Strandberg.

FORENSICS More interest was shown and more students took part in the forensic activities this year than for quite some time. Forensics, as usual, was divided into two distinct croups, debate and declamatory. The expression class progressed under the able leadership of Miss Isabel Chryst, teacher of expression. This year the debate doss was coached by the capable Mr. Donald Peterson, an alumnus of our school. Our debaters took part in no less than fifty debates this year, both in the Twin Cities and out-of-town. Four of our debaters represented Minnehaha Academy in the state-wide forensic tournament at West High School in Minneapolis. The annual Minnehaha-North Park Academy debate, held April 26 at North Park, culminated the debate season with Minnehaha as the victor. Tlie debaters who represented Minnehaha in this contest were Keith Olson, Alvin Strandberg. and alternative, Jo Ann Adcll. DECLAMATORY In a declamatory contest held in Chapel. Barbara Gustafson won first place. Carol Quam won second place, and Mcrlain Nelson won third place. Barbara Gustafson entered the State Forensic Tournament and was one of the eight to go into the finals, where she placed fourth. Back row B. Elias. G. Swanson, B. Gustafson. C. Quam.

Mr. Lars Nesvig, this last season. Minnehaha is the only high school in Minneapolis to have a six-man team. There were five veterans back from last year and the team was helped greatly by newcomers. They made a few trips out of town in which the student body gave their faithful support to the team. The spectators played a great part in the last season and are looking for a better one next fall. The season of 1939 was climaxed with a home-coming game on our own field against Dassel. with Minnehaha the victor. FOLLOWING ARE THF.

BOYS' BASKETBALL Crimson and White, Crimson and Whitt! Up Minnehaha! Fight, fight, fight! The 1939-40 basketball season was characterized by vim and vigor on the parts of both players and students. A heavy schedule was followed during the winter months and several out-of-town trips were also made. The highlight of the season was the annual game versus Minnehaha Alumni. A close, thrilling game took place, the alumni winning by but one point. The B” team also played many games and these boys will furnish good material for the coming year. As the season progressed, the team work improved; so with four regulars returning. Minnehaha can well look forward to a better and more exciting season next year. GIRLS' ATHLETICS The basketball class, under the direction of Miss Johnson, consisted of approximately 0 mem-ben this year. An exhibition of fine playing was displayed at the annual Junior-Senior girls' basketball game, from which the Senior girls came out victorious with a score of 43-12. Eleanor Johnson was captain of the Seniors and Virginia Klefsoas was captain of the Juniors. Another exciting game was played between the teams headed by Ardelle and Audrey Jacobson. Ardelle's team tied Audrey's with a score of 18-18. This game was the closing feature of the girls' basketball season. The next game. 12-18 in favor of Ardelle. Then the group enthusiastically began volleyball and later in the spring, kittenball. The Freshman-Sophomore girls' gym class, with about 33 members, started out at the beginning of the year under the leadership of Miss Fcllroth. X’hen the new term began Miss Johnson became leader and the group displayed their athletic ability in such sports as volleyball and basketball. Page Thirty-one mo's mo?

Pj e Tbiily-seten CLASS HISTORY (Continued from page 16) hood. Our noble knight was Sir Alvin Strandberg, and Phyllis Nelson was the charming First Lady. When we were Juniors, our good Senior friends, 10 whom we had become so attached, left us. and not only us, but left with us, Quiver worries, and not least, the worries of our next year as Seniors. Keith Olson remained class president for the first half of our Junior year, and was followed by Alvin Strandberg, who was president the other half, and the entire following year, our Senior year. This, our Junior year, ushered in our new football team, and, together with other athletics, our class had a splendid representation. Not only were sports a common interest, but many also participated in forensic activities, such as declamatory and debate work, and we are proud of the fact that one of our class members, Mr. Alvin Strandberg, took part in the annual North Park-Minnehaha debate in the spring of '39 which resulted in another victory for Minnehaha. And so in the fall of '39, we were transferred to the highest ranks—to Scniorship! It is quite an honor to be a Senior, yet not only an honor, but a tremendous task is our share. More than one sleepless night has been spent by members of the Antler Staff, in tedious labor. Yet, somehow, our work seems a pleasure, but we arc only Seniors once, and soon we will leave these halls, only to resume our work in other places. This year the annual debate between our two Covenant schools, North Park and Minnehaha, was held at North Park College in Chicago. We were honored to state that both the members of our team were from the Senior Class, namely Alvin Strandberg and Keith Olson. Several other Seniors toured along with the debaters. Needless to say, those of us who went, anxiously awaited a good time in the big city, and we can assure you we had a super-perfect time. The victorious team this year was our own Minnehaha team, and the whole debate was interesting, educating, and exciting. We were indeed thrilled to bring the cup back with us. There are 68 members in the entire graduating class, including Bible Institute students. We salute the two who have attained the ranks of Valedictorian and Saluta-torian. These two are, namely, Ruth Solving, Valedictorian, and Dean Nelson, Saluta-torian. Congratulations to you and others who have been classed as honor students, and to all who have successfully graduated. The Seniors were royally entertained at the traditional Junior-Senior banquet. The Juniors chose a nautical theme, which worked out beautifully and in a manner which pleased the Seniors, as well as the Faculty. The banquet was at the Minneapolis Y.W.C.A. We enjoyed the evening, and wish to express to the entire class of Juniors a hearty Thank you. We had the privilege of securing this year as our Commencement speaker Dr. George Hall of Gustavus Adolphus College, and as our Baccalaureate speaker we had rhe Rev. Elder Anderson of Minneapolis. These and numerous other events have been our pleasure during our Senior year. Together with all these joys, we cannot avoid the sorrow which is ours to leave our dear Minnehaha, and part with beloved friends. Even though time and distance will separate us, there is a binding love which will keep us together. To our teachers—merely a deep Thank you. If we do not express it, you will know that we feel an indebtedness toward you, for enduring what you have these past four years for us.
