In September 1022, Regiment 22 consisting of 37 privates went into active service in the ‘'War for Education. I'uder the able guidance of Oommander-in-Chiof Alvin Halvorson, General Ethel Eklof. Major (ierold Laumann. Captain Xancv Olsen, Lieuten- ant Elizabeth Whitcomb, and Sargeanl Nellie Dahl, the regiment received excellent train- ing early in the year and was thus well prepared for the manv battles they took part in dur- ing that year and those that have followed. That year the battles seemed very severe and the victories of small significance but no ground was lost. At the end of the season the Regiment advanced from the Freshman Field leaving behind them ground hallowed by their strife and glorified by their victories. In September 1923 they resumed their battles in the “War for Education”. The Regi- ment had now lost some of its old members and so numbered onlv 24 privates. They had the sarin- officers as the previous year. The opposition in the Sophomore Forest was just as stiff as previously but being more accustomed to the work, the privates won greater victories. A large number were members of the glee club and the orchestra and in other ways took part in outside activities. At the end of the season of active service the privates found themselves having achieved another great victory. They had now completed half the task required for success in the “War for Education, and it was indeed a happy group of privates that journeyed to their re- spective homes for a furlough in May 1924. Rut September found them back in the trenches more determined than ever to con- quer unknown territory and add additional laurels to their fame. The regiment now num- bered 25, some of the old privates had been transferred but new ones had enlisted. The Commander in-Chief. Alvin Halvorson still continued to direct the course of the war but new officers filled some of the positions. Gerold Laumann served in the capacity of general, Nancy Olson as Major, and Elna Moezinger that of Captain. The progress of the war was rapid in every phase. Everyone was determined to make as great a showing as possible against the enemy. In addition to the regular victories to the credit of the regiment during the year were those in outside activities. About 15 were members of the glee club, four boys and three girls were on the regular R. R. squads fighting for M. H. S. m k September’25 found 25 eager and expectant privates back at the post ready for any hard- ship which might assail them in the last war in this struggle for education. The same Commander-in-Chief shaped the destinies of the regiment but new officers had taken up the stations except for Nancy Olsen, who still held tin- position of Major. The new ones were Captain Marjorie Bistodeau, Lieutenant Claude O'Donnell and General Eugene Douville. This year was the most glorious of them all and saw this sturdy band win many a hard fought battle. The captains of the R. R. teams were both members besides three other boys and five girls who played on the teams. Four principals in the Operetta and many members of the orchestra and glee club were also members of this company. In the English Essential tests this regiment scored highest; they led all the others in athletics; their social activities surpassed the others: their scholarship was higher and their class spirit was finest of all. The entire regiment received honorable discharge on June 3, 1920. Thoy have left the scenes of many a hard won struggle but they carry with them the lessons these contests have taught.

In the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and twenty six. on the twenty sixth day of the Class flbropbeq R IRa io lproflram in 1946 Imagine yourself listening to a radio program broadcast in 1040. The first tiling you will recognize is the voice of the announcer John Gillund. lie says Radio listeners: upon the request of various members of the graduating «•lass of 1020 from Minneota, each member of the class has complied with the request to send in a telegram stating his or her occupation al this time. 1 shall read the name of the person sending in the telegram and then what each one says: First of all: Knnt Iloversten I have studied styles extensively since leaving M. H. S. I have had the pleasure of visiting Paris and such places noted for their magnificent styles. I am now in New York designing ladies' dresses.” Can you beat that?—here’s another. Antoinette Culshaw—“Perhaps some of the modest graduates will gasp when they learn my occupation. I am a toe dancer in Chicago anti I earn $100 a day. Feature that! I wish I could be in her shoes one day. And even Harvey Wahlstrom didn’t forget this time. He says: “I am in trouble as usual—that seems to be my middle name. You all remember how often I had to leave class because 1 made some one sit on a tack or tripped them. .Inst now I am in the Marshall hospital, but you ought to see the other fellow.” Stella Cleven says—“As wife of the announcer I spend my time satisfying his fancies.” Gordon Peterson—“I have taken part in many political races. I always was interested in politics. Now I am a justice in the Minnesota Supreme Court.” Yes sir, that class of ’20 had some real men in it. Catherine Ahern—-“I am a school teacher near Minneota. I used to think the teachers had an easy life but I’ve changed my mind.” Francis O'Connor—“I am with a traveling medicine show. I tell the stories.” Well, well, Francis must have changed. If I remember right, he used to be one of the quiet, bashful kind. Isfold Josefson— The circus called me. I am a famous bare-back rider. I’ve often longed for the opportunity of hearing from the class of '20 and I wish to express my appreciation to the one who suggested this plan. It’s a humdinger!” Ludvig Oddson—He used to be a real scout, he says, I am one of few words. You probably all know 1 am the honorable mayor of Minneota.” Minneota will certainly progress with “Booby” as mayor. Hazel Anderson— I have traveled a great deal working for ‘The Womans’ Extension ( lub She was always trying to improve something or somebody and she is still at it. That is the kind we need. Bjorn Rye—‘T farmed for awhile but that is too hard work, a typical city refined man is what they all call me. Wish we were all that fortunate, Bjorn. Selma Christianson— I am very proud to say I am wife of the Mayor of Minneota.” ( arl Broughton— ou remember Carl he is an instructor of dancing in Mi nneapolis. I thought he would make good use of his legs some day. Margaret Hofteig—says “1 have achieved wonderful sue «■ ■., singing in the Grand Opera of New York. Another success. I hordis Josefson I spend my time telling fat men and women how I reduced to 110 pounds. Good for Thordis, she was always helping some one over embarrassing situations. •lean Stone I am away down south in sunny Alabama a lady of leisure”. She must have married well, she always was wise even at M.II.S. Ralph Groezinger—Well if he isn't a candidate for U. S. President. We will certainly all have to boost for Ralph. Think of having a Minneota President! Edna Honkomp— I am writing books in Minneota now. She is a good writer 1 II bet-—she could always tell stories. Let’s wish her good luck anyway. Leo Traen says—“Many of you have seen me in the movies I am sure.” A second Bill Hart I presume. Mae Stone—“Don’t talk anything but business to me— I am a stenographer in St. Paul-—business is all I am interested in”. She always was so studious, Mae was. Elizabeth Panneek I nable to leave Taunton. I am in charge of the Taun- ton telephone exchange.” They must be up to date. Eh? They didn’t have an exchange when we graduated. Dorothy Ahern—“Alas, I am scrubbing floors for the Mayor, but I enjoy it—it’s a good paying job! ’’ Thordis Johnson says—“I am a foreign missionary, this is interesting, educational work but I often wish 1 were back in M.II.S.” Yes, many of us do. Myrtle Goodrich—“I am a noted humorist of the twentieth century. My book of jokes, ‘‘How to Laugh has been the cause of many aching jaws and sides. This concludes our program for this evening and now we must sign off. M.II.S. signing off. Ooooooooooooooh! Announcer J.

Toot! Toot! Here they come the nineteen twenty seven class of the Minneota High School. The Junior Class is well noted and known in the Minneota High School. It has able representatives in every outside activity sponsored by the school such as debate, musical organizations, and athletics. Seward Arnold, a member of this class, was one of those who represented the Minneota High School in the debate held at Canby. In the operetta given by the High School Chorus, the Juniors did their bit, too. Emily Olson and John Finnegan, both Juniors, carried leading parts while other members of the class carried minor parts. There are a number of Juniors who take active part in Orchestra and regular chorus work. The Junior Class is especially proud of its Basket Ball Stars. In the inter- class tournament held at the end of the Basket Ball season the Juniors acquired first place and were awarded a trophy. The game between the Juniors and Seni- ors was very close and perhaps the reason why the Seniors lost was that every indication from the preliminaries was in their favor. Besides taking part in these outside activities there are several Juniors who represent the Class on the Honor Roll every period. As students of the Minneota High School the Juniors naturally have a very good school spirit. This is shown by interest and attendance at activities of interest to the school and at class meetings. The Juniors are always found willing to co-operate for the benefit of the school as a whole. Sophomores Everett Coleman, Alice Dovre, Violet Rear, Laneda Amundson.

ACTIVITIES Tis Athletic association Myrtle Goodrich Seward Arnold (iordon Peterson OFFKKRS President Vice President Secretary Treasurer The Athletic Association was re-organized for the ensuing year shortly after school started last September. Officers were elected from the student body. A small membership fee is charged which entitles the member to a reduction on tickets to athletic contests in Minn- eota. The purpose of the organization is to take care of the financial side of athletics. At the beginning of the school year there was a balance of thirty dollars in the treasury. At the close of the season there was approximately ninety dollars to the credit of the Association. When the expenses of Basket Ball have been taken care of and after carrying the expenses of the baseball season there will still be a good sized balance in the treasury for nineteen- twenty-seven. s (Bills’ Basketball Ceam Top Row -Marvel Werpy, Edna ITonkomp, Jean Stone.

Many of the former players were gone hut promising new ones were in their places. Basket Ball practice began in earnest about November first. Miss Freda Hannah took over the coaching of the team. Then came the choosing of the team which was to represent Minneota High School. Jean Stone was chosen jumping center; Catherine Ahern, left forward, Edna Plonkomp, right forward; Aurora Stone, running center; Isfold Josefson, right guard and Myrtle Goodrich, left guard. Dorothy Ahern, Marvel Werpy and Hazel Anderson acted as “subs”. The girls were forced to give up their first game but they were far from be- ing discouraged. They showed they could be “good losers” as well as “good winners” by this game. From the beginning the squad displayed strength and co-operation. With a great deal of practise and coaching a team was developed in which the school placed great confidence. The girls regretted to see Miss Hannah leave them after December 4. but they welcomed Miss Eliseuson who took over the coaching of the team at this time. Miss Eliseuson like Miss Hannah was patient and interested in develop- ing a winning team. It is to the coaches that much credit must be given for the record of the squad. The Canby and Clarkfield games here were two of the most exciting of the season. The girls were indeed proud to win over teams which heretofore were undefeated. With the exception of one of the four games the Minneota girls lost, the scores were very close, the locals not being more than three points behind when the final whistle sounded in any of these games. The girls enjoyed this year of Basket Ball very much. Although there have been many difficulties to overcome they have made a record to he proud of. Most of the girls will never have the opportunity to fight for M. H. S. again but they sincerely wish success to the many teams which will follow them— remember, “The Minneota eight are we True to our colors ever will be Through thick and thin Wear a smile and grin That’s Minneota Girls’ Basket Ball Team!” Games Won and Lost Nov. 27—Ivanhoe 15 Minneota 12 Dec. 4—Granite Falls 29 Minneota 34 Dec. 11—Hendricks 22 Minneota 25 Dec. 18—Ivanhoe 25 Minneota 7 Jan. 8—Hendricks 15 Minneota 26 Jan. 22—Canby 26 Minneota 34 Jan. 29—Clarkfield 29 Minneota 41 Feb. 19—Granite Falls 12 Minneota 26 Feb. 23—Canby 18 Minneota 17 Feb. 26—Clarkfield 21 Minneota 18 Basketball ZTeam Top How—Mr. Douvillc (Coach).

Captain Carl Broughton Carl, the Great, concluded a very successful year as captain of the M.H.S. five, having led his team mates to8 victories in 14 games, he being the high point man. Louis Bot—“Louie” played a stellar game at forward and when he got the ball his opponents always felt a sinking of the heart. Leo Traen— Nappy” was a worthy man and an excellent forward. When he got into the game, he was in the thick of the battle. Melvin Myrvik—Melvin was one of the defensive mainstays of the team and spoiled the hopes of many an opponent. Leon Zeuthen Zeuthv played the standing guard position. Although only a Sophomore, his work was a credit to himself and to his school. Harvey Wahlstrom—“Swede” alternated as guard and center. His work was best as a guard. It was as hard for an opponent to pass or dribble around him as it is to go to the North Pole—mostly a failure. 36o s’ Basketball On November 27, “Douville’s Dashing Demons,” as the Minneota team was called, began its basket ball season on Ivanhoe’s floor. This game gave every evidence of an early game as it was a listless, poorly played game throughout. The final score being: Minneota 6 , Ivanhoe 10 The next game was played on December 4 on Minneota's floor against Granite Falls. Although putting up a good fight Granite proved to be Minneota's first victim and fell before the much improved play by the following score: Minneota 23 Granite Falls 13 December 11 again found “Douville’s Dashing Demons playing on a foreign court, this time Hendricks. Here they found stronger opposition than they had anticipated and fell before Hendricks' long range attack. Although they put up a good fight Minneota was handicapped by the large floor. The final score: Minneota 17 Hendricks 22 On December 18 Minneota played its final game before the holidays. Ivan- hoc furnished the opposition this time. This was a fast and furious contest from the first whistle to the final gun. Ivanhoe held a 6 point lead during almost the entire game but in the final moments Minneota staged her comeback and nosed out a one point victory. The score: Minneota 12 Ivanhoe 11 For the first game after the holidays Minneota tackled Hendricks and out- classed the opposition in every way during the game. The contest was not one-sided, however, as Hendricks fought very well and did not give up till the final gun. Minneota held an eight point lead at the half which was held during the remainder of the game. Score: Minneota 20 Hendricks 13 The Demons journeyed to Balaton on January 11 accompanied by the second team. The two second teams played the preliminary game and Minneota seconds lost by a score of 6 to 13. The first team then went out to avenge this defeat but they were unable to cope with Balaton’s floor and their type of playing. In spite of the one-sided score, it was a hard fought game. Score: Minneota 20 Balaton 34 Another of Minneota's road trips proved disastrous on January 15 when both the first and second teams journeyed to Marshall where they suffered a double defeat. The seconds lost by a score of 8 to 14. The first team played one of its hardest games. In spite of the fact that they outplayed Marshall in floor work they couldn't connect with the basket. Score: Minneota 12 Marshall 21 On January 22 Minneota defeated Canbv on the home floor in a slow, loosely played game. Minneota held a slight edge during the game, nosed out a one-point victory and kept the goat another year. Score: Minneota 12 Canby 11 January 29 found Minneota again battling on her home floor. This time the opposition was Clarkfield. The game started out giving every indication of being a slow, disinteresting one but in the last five minutes Minneota launched its famous last quarter rally and made 18 points. Score: Minneota 25 Clarkfield 12 February 2 Minneota's first and second teams played Marshall on the home, floor and the first team took its initial defeat on the home floor. The seconds won by a score of 13 to 18. The first team, however, fought hard out- playing Marshall in floor work but was defeated. Score: Minneota 13 Marshall 16 February 12 Minneota played Balaton on the home floor for the last home game of the season. The seconds played a rough, slow game at first, but Minn- eota had everything practically their own way and won by a score of 26 to 5. The first team then went out to keep the slate clean. This was the fastest, hardest fought game played on the home floor. The score was tied during most of the game but in the final moments Minneota forged ahead to win. Score: Minneota 28 Balaton 24 February 19 found Minneota playing Granite Falls on their floor. They expected to find stiff opposition, but due to the fact that Granite has a small floor Minneota had little difficulty in defeating them. Score: Minneota 29 Granite 13 On February 23 Minneota played Oanby on their floor. They expected to have to fight very hard to win but Canby could not solve Minneota’s style of play. The game was hard fought, the first half Canby leading 9 to 8. In In the last half Minneota made 13 points to Canby’s 2 and won a decisive victory. Score: Minneota 21 Canbv 13 Minneota’s last game this season was played February 26 in Clarkfield. This proved to be a rough and hard fought affair with Clarkfield getting a little the best of the argument.

The following is a summary of the play: “Life at a sanatorium, except in rare cases, is made up of lamentation on nerves and bones and rheumatism. But the Sunshine Sanitarium is one of the rare cases. Sunshine, I he head nurse, (Dorothy Ahern) keeps everyone sunny; Mrs. Whipple, (Thordis Johnson) forgets, for fitful seconds, her nerves; Mrs. McCann (Isfold Josefson) her bones and her lively daughter (Myrtle Goodrich) and cranky old Mr. Butiernip, (Knut Hoversten) his rheumatism, and Miss Deane, (Antoinette Culshaw) dreams happily of the future. “Life proceeds as placidly as can be expected in a place of ailment, until Buddy Brady (Harvey Wahlstrom) Jim, (Ralph Groezinger), and Major Kel- licott, (Gordon Peterson) arrive. Then complications ensue. A crooked deal is attempted and frustrated, and a diamond is missing and found. Miss Mitford, (Catherine Ahern), the mental case, and Buddy prove to be clever detectives.” A cpiartet, Leo Traen, Carl Broughton, Bjorn Rye, and Ludvig Oddson, entertained the audience with a vocal selection. Xtnccln Xttevar Society OFFICERS (First Semester) Emily Olson President Seward Arnold Vice President Ralph Groezinger See. Treasurer (Second Semester) Myrtle Goodrich_____________________________________ President Seward Arnold_________ Vice President John Finnegan Sec. Treasurer The LINCOLN Literary Society was so named because of its principles, the same as those Lincoln had; truth. love, friendship, patriotism, and loyalty. The society meets once every month and a program is presented by the students. Officers are elected at the beginning of the second semester and con- sist of a president, a vice-president, and a secretary-treasurer. Under the auspices of the LINCOLN Literary Society and the Athletic Association an old-fashioned basket social was put on at the school house last fall. A program was presented to an auditorium filled to its capacity,by the members of the society. The proceeds went to the Athletic Association. The affair was a great success in every way and a credit to those who managed it. This was the one public affair of the society but the patrons of the school are, of course, invited to all its programs. Club” OFFICERS Edward Sanderson____ President Helga Josefson------------------------------- Vice President Anna Anderson------- _ ____ Sec. Treasurer A literary society under the name of “The Muz-ar-lit Club”, is the only organization in the Junior High School. The object of the club is suggested by its name which is a contraction of the three words: art, literature, and music; thus the aim was to acquaint the students with these subjects through the work of the organization. Officers were elected by the student body and meetings were held at regular intervals throughout the year. Programs were given by members of the dub under the direction of one of the teachers. Top Row Ralph Groezinger (Alternate), Miss Bistodeau (Coach), Seward Arnold Bottom Row—Knut Hoversten, Thordis Josefson. Thordis Josefson, Seward Arnold, Knut Hoversten and Ralph Groezinger, the alternate, constitute the sagacious quatrain of the Minneota High School debating team. On December 18, the team journeyed to Canby, prepared to say anything and everything against the ratification of the Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. “Resolved. 1. That Congress shall have power to limit, to regulate and to prohibit the labor of all persons under the age of eighteen years. 2. The power of the several States is unimpaired by this article except that the operation of state laws shall be suspended to the extent necessary to give effect to legislation enacted by Congress. These young people told the Canbyites all they knew and argued to the best of their ability but the opposition proved too able in rebuttal work and the decision of the judges was 2 to I in Canby's favor. The Minneotans were thus eliminated from the contest but nevertheless they went home in gay spirits. At any time during the winter, they were ready for another verbal combat and an attempt was made to schedule another contest but none could be arranged. it'i Operetta Cast , Hazel Anderson, Alice Hammer, Til Ik Orsen.

Under the efficient directorship and through the untiring efforts of Miss Bistodeau and Miss Johan- sen the whole affair was a grand success. The Members of the cast were: Dick Erne-Bos’n of the U.S.S.

Synopsis Dick Erne has just received a letter from his father commanding him to find Kitty Adair, wed her and return with her to receive his blessing. Dick has not seen her for fifteen long years, but, however, determines to obey his father’s command. The entire crew stop at Gloucester where Dick meets Kitty and falls in love with her not knowing that she is the girl whom he is looking for. 'Pirn Shannon also meets his old sweetheart, Mrs. Brown, but unfortunately he knows her only by her maiden name. Dick sees this incident and thinking that it is the Kitty Adair whom his father wishes him to marry determines to run away. But sailor’s and girls detain him and his Kitty Adair explains everything to his delight and satisfaction. Cbc ©lee Club The glee club consists of twenty-five members. Last fall the work was under the supervision of Miss Bistodeau. In February of this year the services of a new teacher were obtained. This teacher, Claude J. O’Donnel, took over the musical work of the school. Rehearsals are held regularly twice a week, on Monday and Thursday. The members have taken part in a number of programs. They have acquitted themselves well and it can be truthfully said they are a credit to their director, Mr. O’Donnell. ©rcbestva The following members compose the Orchestra Mr. O'Donnell, director; Gerald Hanson, cornet; Ralph Groezinger, trombone; Carl Broughton, 1st violin; Leo Traen, clarinet; Walter Snie- gowski, cornet.

It was organized early last fall. The students filed for positions on it and a general election was held at which the eight members who were to constitute the body were chosen. Two members were elected to represent each class and two were chosen from the student body at large. The purpose of the Council was to give the pupils a hand in matters which could easily be handled by a representative body of the students themselves. Several matters were brought up during the year and acted on by the Council. The decisions of that deliberative body were made final. They were put into force and carried out. The work of the Council was well received by the students in general and the success that has marked this year makes the Student Council a permanent organization in M. H. S. ?

Mr. Douville—“Sir Isaac Newton was sitting on the ground and looking at the tree, an apple fell on his head and from that he discovered gravitation. Isn't it wonderful?” Leo Traen—“Yes, and if he had been sitting in school looking at his books he wouldn’t have discovered anything ’. Mr. Douville was giving the class a lecture on “gravity”. Mr. Douville—“Now it is the law of gravity that keeps us on this earth .

Algebra—Do these questions bother you? Freshie—No. It's the answers I can’t get. When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on. Miss Johansen, (in Sunday School)—Now of what promise does the rainbow remind us? Mabelle Rye—It ain’t gonna rain no more. Throw away your wishbone, straighten your backbone, stick out your jawbone and step on ’er. Mr. O’Donnell—W’hat insect lives on the least food? James Gislason—The moth. It lives on holes. To these who talk and talk and talk This proverb should appeal. The steam that blows the whistle Will never turn the wheel. Lady Customer—How much is them plums? Jack Gislasen (Grocer’s boy)—Ten cents a peck. Lady Customer (disgustedly)—What do you take me for—a bird? Miss Bistodeau—Use a sentence with the word auto. Helen Gulshaw—I may not get to Marshall to-night, though I auto. It was evening. Knut Hoversten approached a motorist. “Sir he said, “your beacon has ceased to function.” “Sir?” ‘W our illuminator.” I say, “is shrouded in unmitigated oblivion.” “Beg Pardon?” “The effulgence of your radiator has evanesced.” “My dear fellow, I”— The transversal ether oscillation in your incandenscer has been discovered.” .lust then Ragnar Guttonnsson, a Freshman, passing by yelled, “Hey mister, your lights arc out.” If ignorance is bliss Without alloy, Some people that we know Would die of joy.
