Antler Those students you saw dashing madly through the halls, wielding wicked cameras, or screaming lustily, were not insane, they were members of the Antler staff. Ejaculations such as Where's that dummy? (not Tom) or Call the printers quick! often echoed through the corridors. We thank Miss Carlson, Mr. Lundstrom, and the Juniors for their able assistance, especially Jack Carlson, whose ability' in bothering is unsurpassed. Here's lots of luck and success in the preparation of their Antler next year. Temper tantrums. Junior juveniles. After 3:30. Far into the nitc. Four To Prof.: Because of the patience, love, and guidance he has shown us, the paternal air he has showered upon us, and the high spiritual and musical realm he has set before us, we humbly dedicate our 1945 Antler . . .

Nelson was inaugurated into the presidency of Minnehaha, we at last fully realized what a blessing and privilege God had bestowed upon the student body of the Academy. For such leadership and instruction as President Nelson has imparted to us in our chapel services and Bible classes can not be evaluated in mere words. His Christian teaching along with his philosophical witticism, has made an indelible imprint on our hearts and we wish him God's richest blessings during the approaching years. Seven MISS FELLROTH As freshmen we remember her as an algebra teacher and now as seniors we know her better as a Bible instructor and principal. Besides this. Miss Fell-roth has become a special confidant and we sincerely thank her for the friendly advice she has given us. May her coming years at M. A. be as fruitful as the preceding have been.

A.'s vast halls, their faces portraying mixed emotions: fright, fear, fluster, and a few, felicity. There was little DeLois Johnson, who, due to her extreme height, was unable to reach any mirror. However, in those days, freshmen never bother to comb their hair anyway. John Gardeen even then sprouted out with bashful bow ties and, of course, there were the rest of us, extremely green and having a difficult time locating the elevator. Our frosh year was a gay one what with emptying the pencil sharpeners out the window on some unsuspecting faculty member, surprising the science prof with a tub of water in his closet on April Fool's Day, and executing various other unnecessary escapades. Another highlight that year was the way in which we survived the Mixer, in spite of the assorted death traps the passionate seniors had set for us. We ll perhaps never forget our imposing chapel program which proceeded eloquently until that fatal day dawned clear, but not bright. The soprano of the trio, the bass and tenor of the quartet, and one of the orators were instantaneously stricken with a rare disease and did not appear. What we didn't do in our freshman year we made up for in our sophomore. Our male section increased and for after-school entertainment, they seemed to enjoy sticking screaming girls in waste paper baskets, pushing them to a precarious angle on the stairs, and leaving them there with a fiendish laugh as the principal would stalk angrily up. ( Member the principal?) Most of us were admitted into the Singers that year with the exception of a few who had crept in the preceding year. What fun we had down at G. A. College that windy Sunday with the fellows accidentally running into the girls' dormitory and vice-versa. Do you remember how disheartened we were when we couldn't sing the Hallelujah” Chorus? But we did make up for it on the way home. That bus driver has probably never been the same. Seven forty-five's came in that blithesome year along with its Squawk Court. Moron jokes were in their prime and a lot of us were taking biology, finding an earthworm's five hearts and really messing him up. It seemed that we were also especially humane toward stray animals, domestic and otherwise. On varied occasions the teacher would ask for the predicate noun in the fifth sentence and receive a muflled Me-yow!” as a retort. Or in geometry, a frightened but curious garter snake might meander out from its prison. The symphony season was spiced up that year by our aspiring class and our mastication of peanuts and olives during the course of the program. That incident almost proved destructive and so did Prof. Another unforgettable event was the hayridc we fixed up out at Oak Grove Riding Stables. It was that night the girls discovered that the age of chivalry was definitely obsolete. After the ride, or rather the hike for the women, some went to Excelsior in a coupe and others piled in a Chevrolet, driving down by the river with a high-powered flashlight. Oh, were we mean! Twelve Senior Saga (Continued) Our junior year welcomed divers sets of twins, one set which was taken from our midst in February, unfortunately for our athletic program and the morale of the female section. This was a bustling and jocund year; we were finally upperclassmen, although our actions didn't verify the fact. Being musically inclined, several ensembles were organized and re-organized. The King's Messengers saw another complete and successful season while some kind of a girls' octet flitted in and out (mostly out) of the picture, rendering some famous Swedish singer months of unrest in her grave. Whatever became of the Jenny Linds? And the same goes for the Christianaircs. But now to a pleasant subject. Do you remember the way we slaved on our J.S. ? We scampered from one hotel to another about reservations, cancellations, and the like. (G-r-r-r-r Leamington!) Nevertheless, we attained our goal with the delicious menu, that memorable Rigolette” by the Charioteers.” and our snappy dinner speeches. In spite of the trembling and stuffed trio, those unmanageable peas that constantly rolled down the boys' dinner jackets, and that one drumstick that flew off a certain plate, we left the Radisson Gold Room with jubilant hearts. Maybe we didn't admit it, but we were rather proud of our J.S., mainly because of the embarrassing sum we each put forth, five dollars! Some of the juniors, as the preceding year, practically monopolized the Quiver with results known to most, and the Antler staff was chosen. We drove those poor seniors almost mad with our ingenious suggestions, inattention during the meetings we did attend, and the munching of checrios and other foods. Luckily our promptings were stifled and the 1944 Antler was a success. It seemed almost queer registering in September, a strictly senior curriculum and not feeling like a senior. We were looking forward to an abundant senior year, but down in a tiny corner of our hearts there was a longing for those carefree sophomore days. Then, as if a prelude to our senior year, September 19 brought with it that glorious revival that changed our lives greatly. A fervent prayer of thanks goes up to our Savior whenever we recall that chapel setting. How can we forget those tear-streaked faces of those next to us as we fell on our knees, crying to Christ for forgiveness. What joy filled our souls as many surrendered their hearts for the first time and others re-dedicated themselves for a fuller service. Those small but intimate prayer meetings and the singing of choruses took the place of the regular school schedule. The Holy Spirit was apparent and real. We can still see those red, swollen eyes, flushed cheeks, and glowing faces, as old quarrels and petty prejudices were smoothed out among the kids. Some even forgot their usual pangs of hunger around noon. We were so filled with the joy of our Lord, there wasn't room for anything else. The year that lay before us seemed much brighter now, thanks to the revival and the new spirit that hovered over M. A. The Mixer drew nigh and now it was our turn to plan the annual event. We used a circus theme with Chet as master of ceremonies in some unique red plaid breeches, top (Continued on Page 42) Thirteen SENIOR CLASS SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS C. Peterson. S. Anderson, K.

Come over here by the trophy case—I jus' discovered sumpin'! And then one would sec two brightly-clad figures, one at each end of the case, lifting their legs, waving their arms and laughing heartily at each other’s reflections in the glass. It takes a frosh to discover something like that and a senior to appreciate it. As one of the largest, if not the largest freshman class in M. A.’s history, these students have already captured the school spirit and present a real challenge to their upperclassmen. Fleas? After an algebra test. Twenty-four I Minnehaha Singers Fifth Row: W.

This year as every year, the Minnehaha Singers saw a complete and successful season under the able direction of our beloved Prof and the demure chaperoning of Mrs. Johnson. The trip to Stillwater, the banquet at the Nicollet, and the spring concert, featuring Beverly Shea, were some of the highlights. Our prayer meetings before concerts, the well-packed pews, and the prevailing spiritual influence, overshadowed the wheezy cherubs on high D, the constant turmoil about the stands and the stand men, and the unwanted aroma of F F cough drops. Minnehaha Choir An entirely new group, the M. A. Choir, was organized because of the overflow of talent that applied for Singers last fall. This large group has become a stepping-stone to the Singers and really offers spiritual relationship and excellent choir training under the baton of Prof. Their concerts, combined with Singers and otherwise, have been highly uplifting and a joyful future lies ahead for this ambitious group.

Ever)- Monday during chapel, the orchestra formed the accompaniment to our singing. The mellow string section blended smoothly in with the prayerful hymns, while the brass section added vigor to those with a martial air. On some occasions, this group presented solo numbers which met with tumultous applause on the part of the student body. Also their interpretation of the Star-Spangled Banner will long be remembered.

However, this group has proved to be an asset to the school life. Their tuneful rhythms on the football held, their prelude to the Mixer, and their dinner music during the Homecoming dinner, were greatly enjoyed by all. We know their musical efforts will not go on unrewarded. Twenty-six King's Messengers S. Gronscih. C. La nun, T. Starr, J. Gardecn. This ensemble, though disbanded now for a year, perhaps was the most outstanding musical group M. A. has ever brought forth. During the two years of their organization, these boys brought blessing and enlightenment to all who heard them. One can not easily forget their theme song. A Little Talk With Jesus,” or This World Is Not My Home. T rumpet Trio Standing, Top to Bottom: D. Erickson. R. Sifford, L. Larson. Seated: M. Fulton. Always alert and ready at every possible juncture were the Trumpeters Three. Their stirring and spirit-moving numbers were looked forward to at every concert.

Fulton. Ambassadors Hearts were touched wherever the Ambassadors gave their testimony in song and their renditions of Negro spirituals, especially ' Amen” and Hear Dem Bells? were loved by all. Living for Jesus Through their contacts with various groups, this trio has spread much joy and received much in return. Crusaders Both over the air, in the chapel services, and in the churches, these four male voices have blended together for their Lord, All for Christ Trio These junior girls, as their name implies, have given their talents to Christ and through their singing, many have been spiritually renewed. May their senior year hold still greater opportunities for their cheerful testimony. Blow the man down! ''Sweet Ad-o-linnc . . Twenty-eight SUNSHINE QUARTET MIRIAM SEXTET I. Johnson, B. Oppcn, E.

Where's that front page story?” or Do you kids realize this thing has to be to press by the sixth? Such was the conversation heard over the incessant chatter of the two typewriters, and the entrance and exit of furious reporters, all sizes, ages, and hues. The Quiver came out weekly this year, much to the delight of the students. It was written alternately by the two independent staffs prodded skillfully on by Miss Nelson. Interviews were lavishly used, and the various cuts really perked up the pages. Public Speaking Top Row: D. Simmc, D. Benson. T. Nordstrom. B. Iblings, R. Anderson. A. Bergstrom. D. Swed-berg.

Impromptu speaking, oratory, and debate were mastered by these aspiring students. Besides dramatizing in their class, these boys and girls presented a pantomime in chapel on behalf of the Red Cross Drive. Many of the students earned the required amount of points and were admitted to the National Forensic League. Thirty Student Council Third Row: D. Park. R. Petersen, C. Shoemaker. T. Starr. R.

As their advisor, Mrs. Burkett has brought forth and explained many seemingly obscure passages and their Christian lives have truly been enriched. Thirty-one EXPRESSION Standing: J. Carlin. L.

Bringing cheer to others has not only given them more spiritual blessing but inspired them on to a higher Christian level. Thirty-two Coach Our heartiest thanks to Coach Lindberg for the excellent training he has given our teams this past school year. Their success has been largely due to his supervision and suggestions. For this we again extend our gratitude to this swell, all-around fellow. Football Fifteen rahs for our fighting Indians and make ’em big. These fellows deserve that and much more for their splendid showing on the gridiron this year. Their Christian sportsmanship and teamwork were to be envied and they presented a definite challenge to the opposing teams. We regret the co-captains of the team were not able to appear on this picture, as they are now playing an even stififer game with the U. S. Navy.

A. who are sports-minded but the girls as well. Their basketball games, seen only by a few determined fellows peering through the crack in the door, were peppy and exciting. Also, their stands at the games were looked forward to and the hot dogs were relished by all. For the girls with the required number of points, letters were distributed at the end of the year.

Forty-one Senior Saga (Continued) hat, etc. Can't you see that interminable parade of five people; two clowns, an acrobat, and a lion and tiger, who barreled through the door, accompanied by the martial band music. (Jerry, Jay and that wheelbarrow have become memorable.) Then came a heartbreaking pantomime which was climaxed by Papa kicking Horace, the hero, out the side door. Some clever consequences for the new students were next and the barber shop quartet followed. These three derbied transients emerged from their holes and rendered a stirring medley about Sunshine, Wheaties, a gray bonnet, and I wanna girl jes like the girl that married dear old dad. Unquote. Even though we did get into a scuffle with the costume shop (see W. N., B. H. and C. D.) about the animal costumes,, a slight bill of fifty dollars, and an evil red wig, we were satisfied with our rendition of the Mixer. The football season now forged in. full of fun and excitement. We seemed to have managed to arrive at every outside game by some unseen quirk of fate. Some even went as far as hitch-hiking with pleading signs on their burly backs. Our team really did a swell job and ditto marks for our vivacious cheerleaders. After one of the games, we spent a blessed evening at Peterson's turkey’ farm. Remember the delicious snack, that crackling autumn fire, and our fellowship meeting? Incidents like that are what constitute precious memories Of course, the football season was climaxed by our Homecoming, featuring the coronation. Char was our darling queen and Betty B. and Helen T. her charming attendants. A rushed-up program followed, based on a radio theme. Our Mother Wednesday, a melodramatic radio serial, was introduced by a female quartet warbling a commercial about Grandma's Greasy Grits. The girls wished to be anonymous and if you remember hearing them sing, you know why. Dick I... the capable announcer came in at the most strategic junctures with his commercials and the main character. Little Florence, forgot how to faint, screamed I can’t and went cascading off the platform. Mr. Anthony (W. A.) was next with several pitiful clients, a widow Guillispi, a hen-pecked husband, and jokes of the same nature. The master-mind Bunningcr followed, seeing jewels, nurses, and other allusions. The program was terminated by a Truth or Consequences for the unprepared alumni (revenge in full), and a boys' octet singing God Bless Our Boys. Singer concerts began and a second choir was organized which when combined with the Singers, was called the Choristers. These concerts will probably provide some of our dearest memories, along with our theme song. My Jesus I Love Thee.” The Christmas season approached and we showed our spirit with elaborate and beautiful decorations. In spite of the wreaths and boughs occasionally falling on innocent students, the halls and chapel presented a definite fragrance of Christmas. The annual processional went smoothly with no major disasters and the exchanging of gifts among the Singers completed the Yulctidc spirit. Remember what Jerry K. received? We do. January 19, 19-45, at the First Covenant Church, our beloved Rev. Nelson was inaugurated as president of M. A. President Nelson has become a real chum of the (Continued on Pajtc 43) Forty-two Senior Saga (Continued) students, especially the seniors, and we can now recall some of the numerous times we gathered in his office. In spite of his superiority, we conversed with him as we would another student, and felt free to express our views. This, combined with that hearty Howdy! will constitute our memory of this wonderful Christian leader, our president. Soon the weather perked up a bit and the thawing snow seemed to beckon to the fun-loving students. It didn’t have to beckon long, however, before the girls stumbled into school with dripping hair, mangled faces, and snow-packed clothing. Those snowball fights were jovial (it says here), especially the mass slaughter en route to the symphony. Some of the drenched women slithered in during The Star-Spangled Banner, attempting to avoid Profs eagle eye. Then the basketball season swung in, bringing several unexpected victories for our Indians. That session between Washburn and M. A. really placed our noses at a ninety degree angle for weeks. The score, 29 30, has become memorable. It was also toward the end of the basketball season that Dean and Gene were called to don Navy blues for their country. At first we couldn’t realize that our boys were being taken from our midst. However, those two vacant seats in chapel and Singers, the dent in the basketball team, and the absence of those sudden gales of laughter in Hnglish, seemed to make us even more conscious of the extent of this horrible turmoil. Naturally we missed the twins, but knowing who had charge of their lives, we were comforted. Around the latter part of March, decisive signs of spring appeared; heinies, turning fancies, bicycle enthusiasts, borrowing green Chevies, and graduation preparations. It gave us perturbed and mixed vibrations. Seeing those retakes, worse than the originals, measuring for gowns and discovering you’d grown an inch, and getting down to brass tacks on the Antler, made us come to the inevitable conclusion, we were about to graduate! That day in chapel, poring over those hidious college entrance tests consisting of problems rendering you cross-eyed, words such as bathos and psychotherapy, and a five-hundred word theme on fascinating subjects like Socialized Medicine. brought us even closer to that night when the bold strains of Pomp and Circumstance would shatter our ear drums. Even though we now look forward to our Class Night, the J.S., and the President's reception, we can't help but shut Commencement out of our minds. What lies ahead is so uncertain. Now as the Antler finally goes to press, two more of our mates have answered Uncle Sam's call. We’ll miss Dick's jokes and Jerry’s indispensable bluffing but perhaps more, their Christian testimony. Our fervent prayers go with all our boys wherever they maybe and truly their presence will be felt on graduation night. May we meet it with perseverance and confidence, for we know, though we may part ways, we arc all following the same Leader and striving for rhe same goal.
