Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1925 volume:

The Mirror Published by The Senior Class Mondovi High School Mondovi, Wisconsin 1925 FOREWORD In the preparation of this Mirror we have endeavored to reveal tin activities of the past year in the hope that in the years to come, it may be a cherished chronicle to all the students and to all those who in any way have been interested in our school woik of the past year. DEDICATION Mr. Whelan has served as a member of the school board of Mondovi for 16 years. During this time he has always shown great interest in athletics, in the various activities, and in every department of the school. He holds the love and respect of those who have had the opportunity to know him as a man. It is not surprising that a man of his generous nature and cultured brain should give so much to the needs of his state, his town, and the school of his childhood. Emerson says. “The only true gift is one’s self.” Out of his soul, out of his depth of thought out of his love for his kindness has he given to his fellowmen in need. Due to this good advise, kindness, and helpful guidance, which he has contributed, our school has become the true community center. To him. Mr. Whelan. the Seniors dedicate the 1925 Mirror.

Here, we worked like little busy bees with Miss Ivina Clatlin as our queen. Those with us now. who started in the first grade, are Marcus Aase. Wilma Aase. Ray Colby. Arthur Ilubbard, Adell Thompson, Franklin Crawford. Francis Kensmoe, Francis Winter. Ethel ItofHer, and Everett Weeks. The others have come from neighboring schools to join us. The second year ended with a picnic near Whelanda’c with .Miss Kathryn Morris, our teacher, as chaperon. We left Evelyn Ede and Arnold Thorson in this grade and passed on to the third. In the third grade, Alden Whelan. Julius Johnson. Anita Duell, Palmer Thompson, and Barney Barstow joined us. We loved our teacher. Miss Rena Towne. very much, and she proved to be very efficient. Nothing very exciting happened in the fourth grade, with the exception of the experience of Harry Barstow, who was turned over in his seat and given a sensational spanking by our teacher. Miss Marie Jost.. Evelyn Clatlin, Harry Barstow. Odin and Jarvin Clemenson joined us in this grade. Time rolled on. and we rolled with it, landing in the fifth grade where Hazel Hanson. Arthur Hanson, Bert Hardy, Ruth Sweet, Milo Duncanson, and Lawrence Hanson joined us. We worked very diligently in this grade with our teacher Miss Winnie Hardy as leader. In the sixth grade Loretta Hanley, Lylah Smith. Laurel Giese, Margaret Voll, and Erma Ingerson joined us. Our same teacher passed on with us, having changed her name to Mrs. Lawrence Solberg. During this year we gave our teacher a surprise party, all having a very good time. We left Darrel Holmes, Margaret Voll. and Erma Ingerson in this grade. Anita Duell. Arthur Nelson, Dorothy Winter. Lorraine Runkel, Hazel and Arthur Hanson left us to join other schools. We now felt very proud to pass into the seventh grade which was at that time in the High School building. Miss Vida Smith proved to be a very capable teacher even though she had mischievous youngsters with whom to deal. Giles Fitzgerald, Jens Johnson, Constance Berg, William Cashmore, Lynn Gullickson. Rosabelle Colby, and Erma Loomis joined us in this grade. Our school year closed with a baseball game and picnic supper on the fair grounds with the eighth grade. I’pon enteiing the eighth grade, we were joined by Ruby Wright, Milo Anderson, Leslie Langert. Edson Hill, and later on by Hans Ness, and Evelyn Thames. The latter part of the school term, Evelyn Tlmmas returned to her home in California. This was a notable year for ns. We had a series of debates which not only increased our fund of knowledge, but gave us confidence to appear in public. By invitation our last debate, which was on the Philippine question, was given at a public meeting of the Philakean Society in the High School Auditorium, which won for us general praise. We were very proud of our debaters, Loretta Hanley, Constance Berg. Adell Thompson, Harney Barstow. Marcus Aase, and Alden Whelan. We t,onk part in the May Fete, and had the honor of choosing the queen, Wilma Aase. Eight of our number. Marcus Aase, Frances Winter. Adelle Thompson. Francis Kensmoe, Lylah Smith. Ray Colby. Ruby Wright, and Everett Weeks danced the stately minuet in colonnial costume. We were very proud of our basketball team anil its long succession of victories which wo celebrated bv giving the team a banquet. We also gave our teacher. Mrs. Jessie Dillon, a surprise party at which we believe she enjoyed herself as much as we did. Our only regret when we entered High School was that we could not take her with us. it was in September 11)21. that over sixty timid lads and lassies started their first day of High School. It was with great difficulty that we found our class rooms, and managed to find our right seats back in the assembly room. October 31, 1921. a message was sent to us from the Sophomore (’lass requesting our presence at the annual Freshmen-Sophomore reception. This message was unanimously accepted by us. We enjoyed the stunts even though some ol them were rather embarrassing. The last number on tin program was refreshments served in the Agriculture room. Everyone partook of them heartily after having acquired a ravenous appetite from going through the evening’s performance. On the whole, our Freshmen year was a success, and we were none the worse off for our experiences. It is not a wonder that our teachers did not have a nervous breakdown after having us in their care for a whole year. A picnic was enjoyed the last day of school. Miss Meisekothen acting as chaperon. We were very proud when we became Sophomores; as the saying is, a Freshman knows nothing, a Sophomore begins to know something. This rule seemed t.o apply to us, but I doubt if our Ancient History teacher thought this true. Everyone looked forward to the date when we might entertain the Freshmen. I am afraid the saying “Vengeance is sweet,” reigned in our minds, as we intended to fully repay the lower classmen fen the wrongs the Sophomores had done to us when we were Freshmen. At their arrival at the main room entrance, the Freshmen were appropriately decorated with green bows for the occasion. Out stunts proved to be very exciting, and everyone enjoyed the refreshments served. It was in the latter part of our Sophomore year that Julius Johnson left us for Riverside, California. We missed Julius’ smile and happy-go-lucky ways very much, but he seemed to think that brains are apt to get frozen in cold Wisconsin, while in California they are not subject to that tragedy. The latest reports are that he is a mechanic in a garage. Once more September is here, and the school bell is merrily calling us back. This year it tells us that we are Juniors, and must settle down to a more definite vocation than previously, because we have only two years remaining to develop it. Some are to become teachers, some farmers, while ethers business men and women. We worked diligently in our school work this year, and took active parts in Athletics, oratory, Declamatoiy and debating. Our class is entitled much praise for its exceptionally tine athletes and forceful speakers. It was in the latter part of January, 1924 that we gave our play “Daddy Long Legs, capably coached by Miss Siljan. We will always remember the two outstanding characters. Marcus Aase and Maurita Grorud. who displayed marked ability in acting. Who knows but what we will hear more about them in years to come, when reading the world’s theatrical news? The receipts of our play went towards the Junior and Senior banquet, which was Commencement week. The Methodist church parlor was fittingly decorated With the Senior colors, green and white and plum blossoms. A sumptuous three course dinner was served by the Methodist Ladies Aid, and all did justice to it. This went marked the close of our Junior year. We are now Seniors, and the close of our High School Educational career is nigh. I wo of our classmates left us at the close of last year’s term. Rov Moltzau entered the high school at Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, and Dorothy I leashy, who is now Mrs. Lloyd Amundson of Naples. Franklin Crawford and Margaret Bower of the Gilmantou and Nelson High Schools have joined our class this year, also Lillian Linse of Minnesota. The High School Boys Basket Ball team has had a successful season. We can readily sav that it is the best team we have had for years, and we must not forget that, it is composed mostly of Seniors. Our II. S. affirmative debating team, all seniors, won from the Humbird debating team on February 20, 1925, at Mondovi. It is with regret that we must leave our dear Mondovi High School for whom we have won honors, and our only wish is that, we might remain here and win more for it. But that responsibility must be left to our Junior classmates. who we hope will have much greater success than we Seniors have had. A I) ELBE THOMPSON FRANCES WINTER. PROPHECY 1925 IIow different this world is. from that earthly world, from which we wandered. Somehow, as I sit here tonight, my thoughts roam back to that night twenty years ago when the class of '25. for the last time, proudly assembled. Can’t we cast away this magic spell? Can’t we break out into the earthly world and see all our classmates, as they have progressed on that journey of life ah, no, we cannot,. What is, must be. No. Klma. we cannot visit that world, we cannot see them; but the lives of all our classmates, we should be able to find in that great book of Prophets Find the index, Helen, for the class of ’25. “Now while our feeble eyes grow dim. we shall the lives of our classmates skim.” Ah. Elmer Duetschcr the first on the list. Elmer Duetscher. after having left the Mondovi High School, has attained a position as Joke Editor of the Literary Digest. Knby Wright, and Emma Quale have accepted positions as nurses in the Walda Hospital, Ontario. Noble Robbe, sheik of the Arab tribes, recently completed his trip across the Sahara Desert. While here, he brutally stole a winsome little lass, known t the class of ’25 as Cleo Nyre. Cleo has introduced the American styles into Arabia. Miles Wergland and Ernest Severson have attained the honor of being the best suited for acting the parts of Mutt and Jeff in the leading theaters of the United States. Caroline Odegard is posing as one of the leading women scientists of the world. She acquired a great amount of her knowledge under the diligent supervision of “Pickles” McMahon. Barney Barstow. having acquired a good knowledge of law, has now gained the position of senator of the United States, lie outrageously puts forth the plan of the people, the theory that he will be able to “make money grow on bushes.” People are now reconciled to Harold Lloyds’ death. Giles Fitzgerald has taken his part in the movies. Giles has married. Seemingly. Frances Winter has changed her name. Warning is hereby given to Allen Kenyon that a decree has been issued, whereby stolen kisses are no longer permissable. This gives the Freshmen girls more of .1 chance to skate. Allen is now a cornetist in die Chicago symphony. Arthur Hubbard is the organizer of the new Beata Car Company. .Miss N- Ilie llanestad teaches toe dancing at the Me Phail da; cing School. Rudolph Marten, the ambitious lad. finally “turns out in the shape of a buttermaker.” Odin Clemenson is the world's greatest athlete. Everett Weeks and Lawrence Hanson, having received patents on their radio, have become our champion radio fans. Wilma Aase has become a great authoress. Her great es. novel is Tn Love Chain.

Loret.ta Hanley, the vamp has final I succeeded in capturing the heart of the Prince of Wales. Marcus Aase has won the gold medal for being the best Orator in the United States. He is now trying for the championship of the world. Gladys Anderson is taking the part of a fairy in Shakespeare’s ••.Midsummer .Night’s Dream.” Maurita Grorud is teaching at the River Falls Normal. Margaret, and Marjorie Young have a large beauty parlor in New ’t ork. Myron Lee is the druggist in Mondovi. Evidently Sylvia Johnson does not hold her maiden name. She is tin mistress of a neat li' ie bungalow n South Washington Street. Harry Barstow is principal of the Dunn County Agricultural School. Clarence Robinson is now starring as fullback in all the football games in which he participates. Franklin Crawford has settled down on a farm near Mondovi. Francis Kensmoe had decided to become a barber. He has been very successful in putting forth the “Cross-puzzle” bob. Keziah Severson is a governess at the homt of Martinis De Mario in Cuba. Laurel Giese has proved her musical ability. She has successfully conducted the Mondovi Symphony. Lola Mae Loomis is owner of a large store at SL Paul. Henry Rosenthal and Morris Thompson are both farmers at Gilmanton, Wisconsin. A new picture entitled “Hard” is being produced with Delmar Linse, as Comedian. Bella Hill and Millie Leruni are successful hairdressers in Chicago. Ethel RofHer is the direetoress of gymnastics in High School of Mondovi. Ruth Anderson is a rural school “inarm. • Now, what do you think of that diary. Helen? The old classmates have all been successful in their undertakings. The Mondovi High School training certainly must be responsible for the success of each. Let us close this book of Prophets of our dear estranged school mates and continue our work in this world of lost souls.” CLASS WILL We, the Seniors class ot nineteen-twenty five, have honored the Mondovi High School, city of Mondovi, county of Buffalo, State of Wisconsin, by our presence. As we are about to dissemble and enter fields more worthy of our high ability and special talents, and as we consider it beneath our lately attained senior dignity to take any of our varied possessions with us. do here- by make, publish, and declare this to be our class will and Testament. We revoke all former rash promises of individuals. To the Faculty we leave our sympathy as they will mourn the departure of such bright students. We also leave our thanks to them for having helped to make us such. To Mr. Dodge, our basketball ability, so that he may be even more efficient in coaching the girls’ basketball teams. To Miss Wilkinson, our thanks for her diligent attempt to inspire us with the proper respect for English Literature. To Miss Siljan. our Junior Advisor, our appreciation for coaching the Junior Class Play, also for her help in other school activities. To Mr. St'inans, our gratitude for the inspirations received from his splendid mottoes. To Miss llaukland. our regrets that our knowledge could not have been furthered under her guidance.

To Miss Streich. a Mirror to reflect the memory of this year’s activities. To Miss Paine, our experiences on the stage, which she may distribute among her Juniors. To Mr. McMahon, all our old “pigskins for his athletic teams next year. To Miss Shervey. our apology, if at any time we have failed to put the D. S. Hoorn in its accustomed orderliness after a party. To Miss Hurley, our booklets and posters, as sample copies for next car. To the Juniors, we give this advice, that they follow the noble example set before them by their predecessors, and also the hope that they will accept it with proper humbleness, hitherto not shown by them, h urthermore, we hope that they will reach maturity at as early an age as we did, so that they will not lower the Senior dignity. To the Sophomores, we leave our ability to pass without being caught. To the Freshmen, we bequeath a bag of lollvpops. e will not leave them any advice, for we fear that their undeveloped minds wopld not be able to grasp the full meaning implied. To next year’s occupants of the back seats in Main Room, we leave a sufficient number of pads on which to take roll, as we realize that it is a manner of great financial concern.

Whose countless jokes forever How Here's to the girl that hails from La Crosse, She’s Mondovi's gain and Xe'son’s loss. A friend she is. and a dare she’ll take. ’Tis Maigaret Bower, with no mistake. We're all acquainted with our “Pal.” She is a spritely little gal. hen she begins to teach up North. Her store of wisdom she'd scatter forth Now as to mischievous Addle, Her future we can truly tell, For if to “Pete” she corresponds. She'll seek tin' matrimonial bonds. This, is our worthy president; On books and studies quite intent; in sports his prowess he did show This is of course friend “Bud’’ Barstow. Here's Ruby, peppy and full of fun, With her quick wit slit makes things hum; You may be sure she’s a good little girl But in the class she makes things whirl. The maiden with the golden hair. She is the one who's sweet and fair; Emma will a mountain climb And just to have a rousing time. To Physics class doth Caroline go A little prayer she uttereth low; She says in accents soft and deep, ‘‘Now will 1 lay me down to sleep.” God made the moon the stars and sky, lie made the earth so fair He first made things of colored hue And then made Everett’s hair. Sir Robbe is so very polite He feels quite bad because he is bright; He spends his time by making girls blush But this of course we keep on the hush. Where did you come from classmate dear? Out of the elsewhere into here. Where did you get your credits, pray? ‘‘None of your business,” said Jim, “Away.” Gladys is so exceedingly small, You scarcely can see her now at all; If ever locked out, she’d he in no doubt, She’d slide through a chink in the wall. We have in our midst a slim, calm sinner; He’s fond of girls, but fonder of dinner; At football Giles is surely a star He bangs through one. and leaves a sear. We have a basketball player of fame, Who once was made exceedingly lame. But protests were nought; in spite of the pain. We couldn’t keep “Ode” from playing the gai Poor Faye was woeful and ghastly pale. All week she nothing would do, but wail, “Alack, and Alas. I’m afraid I won’t pass, And if I don’t pass. I will fail.” There onee was a prattling, talkative lass, Who ne’er was ready for any class. Her friends would wait, and make themselves late, While Bella consulted the glass. Elina, we fear, will soon fade away, As she feeds upon Latin the live long day She talks, and recites it. she dreams it. she writes it But what will it profit a maiden, O pray? In stock judging did Ray represent. Our Mondovi High School “Ag. department; Then in our play a butler he made, And captured the audience and actually played. We thought him quiet until we knew, That Rudolph’s life had frolics too; A dark eyed boy in any class, You'll find him very hard to pass. In books lie is so very well read, But other things too, he hath in his head; “Some day, a druggist. 1 hope to be.’’ Thus run the thoughts of .Myron Lee. In Delemar we find a quiet lad. Some times he’s good; sometimes he’s bad; He follows his work with evident joy, A thing that’s uncommon in most every boy. A girl whom we all do admire. For Lauiel has all we desire; She laughs and plays which always pleases And flirts and jokes and even teases. A good old scout, just full of pep. You'll go with her to keep in step. You’ll never lack for sport and fun. For Cleo keeps you on the run School Harry loves, we know this well. Of other loves too, we need not tell. Tho. farming is his longest suit. In basket ball he is a beaut. Now here is Marjorie; you do know Her love on Storey, she’ll bestow. The art of teaching, she’ll possess. But fond of mischief we confess. Blue are her eyes, her hair is black Iu capers Maurita is not slack. Her smile we see it every day. Her letters to “Charlie” find their way. This is the girl whose is Margaret “Walker found her heait a good target To Durand she will pack and go. No one needs to toll us so. A friend indeed to all who ask. And nothing to her is a task. Wo know that as a typing shark. Millie Lerum has reached the mark. Oh. May Sylvia he happy. Oh, may she he blessed. Within a little cottage, With the one she loves best. Our Helen was a society star. Who went to ride in her little Ford ear. She came from the ride, with Laurney beside, Hut this to her folks, she did not confide. Now here is Miles with hair of red. ho has for himself a very long bed. In Physics class he's quite a shark. But most of the time, he causes a lark. Well here is Loretta, the “Irish Stand Pat” Who debates and argues, and knocks them Hat She takes what you do as a joke. Until you try to flirt with “Poke.” In judging Kay did represent. Mondov i High School Ag department. When he did choose his little pearl. He found his choice in a Freshman girl. Oh where did she conic from, this dark haired lass? She came from Modena to join our class. Now comes the question. “Who is this? ' Lillian Linse. is this miss. Nellie is both blonde and entrancing Possessed of a fondness for dancing. With a heart that i kind, a logical mind. And a tongue much inclined to romancing. We think that Laurney will rival quite soon. The cow that jumped over the moon. Hut Helen declares, that nobody cares. If lie won’t escape while they spoon. Kruest could not smaller be. We hope success he soon will see. Willi all his loving pleasing ways. But w ill he keep them all his days? Not ot himself thinks this young mail, lie helps all others when lie can; Anything which Arthur will take, A vast success he'll surely make. Oh lie has studied hard and long. The many hooks that make men strong. This is Arnold who works just so Around the girls, lie isn’t slow. Here s the girl who’s a friend to us all. A teacher she’ll he if there’s no other call. “Fran,” has her friends in every direction. Her letters receive the quickest attention. When our school started in September. Sir Allen claimed himself a member In music class, his jokes he tells. While all around, the music swells. Aldan's heart is in a whirl. At the sight of any girl. Be she young or he she old She to him is just like gold. Life is too short, so I’ll not worry To make it longer, i’ll not hurry. Thus mu the thoughts of a quiet little lass. Who is Ruth Anderson of our class. I’m sure it is so very rare. To he blessed with such pretty hair. Keziali. we think, can always he proud. For being the fair one in many a crowd.

A part in the activities of this society is an essentially important part of llie education ot every student. The benefits afforded by membership in a debating society should be reaped by all. The year 11)24-192') has witnessed a great increase in Philakcan membership. A Philakean campaign was held the week before Christmas vacation. .cst was added to the campaign by means of class rivalry. The Junior and Senior classes both responded to the call for new members by making a record of 100% Philakean membership, for which record they were given a party by the two other classes. The Philakean roll was increased from a membership of J2 to a membership of 201. The programs this year have been very original; having consisted of a health program, an etiquette program, a Christmas program -made up of dramatizations from Christmas stories, and miscellaneous programs made up of debates, papers, and musical number’s. The dues of the society are fifteen cents, payable each semester. Vilonian Society Officers Margaret Dillon President Dorothy Butler Lola Loomis Vice President Until Olson Arnold Ehlert Sect ’y-Treasurer Clarence Ale Donald The greatest aim of the Vilonian Society is to instruct its members in parliamentary practice, and in the methods of conducting entertainment suitable to rural community. The benefits received from membership in this society are so great as to prove almost indispensible to the prospective rural teacher. It not only teaches the members good-fellowship, but also gives them practice in acquiring leadership. Meetings are held twice each month. The programs, which are rendered, are similar to the ones which should be given in rural schools. After each program, a social time is enjoyed by the members. Debating 1925 .Affirmative Negative Loretta Hanley Marcus Aase Harney Barstow Clarence Me Donald, Alternate Margaret Whelan Hubert Conger Maui ice Aa.se Millie Leruni, Alternate The chief object of including debating in the activities of the High School is to promote sound, logical thinking. As we have athletics to develop the body, so we have debating to develop the mind. The question debated by the triangle, made up of Humbird. Osseo, and Mondovi, was: Resolved, That Capital Punishment should be abolished in the I’nited States. Our Aftiimative Team debated the Negative Team of Humbird at .Mondovi. Although the Humbird Team did very well, our Affirmative Team won the debate by a decision of two-to-one. Notwithstanding the fact that our Negative Team, which debated the Osseo Affirmative Team. lost by a two-to-one decision, we were very proud to learn that, of the three Negative Teams in the triangle, the Mondovi Team received the highest standing. Owing to the diligent work of the Teams. Mondovi won first place in the triangle debate. Mr. Semans is greatly to be complimented for the progress tile teams have made under his instruction. Robert Conner Marcus Aase ORATORY 1924 Marcus Aase “Idols anil Ideals’’. Robert Conger “The Turk Must Go”. In the Oratorical ( ontest at Durand first and second places were awarded to Marcus Aase and Robert Conger, respectively. Because of their splendid work in the contest at Durand both of our Orators represented our school at the district contest held at Han Claire. May Iti. With the tepresentatives of fifty schools as competitors. Marcus Aase won second place in the final contest. We feel that we can be reasonably proud of our Orators. Iva Koclicndoerfer Dorothy Clafiin Declamatory 1924 Iva Kochendoefer,—“ Humorescpie ”. Dorothy Clafiin—“Pro Patria’’. A large number of contestants participated in the elimination contest held at the High School. Esther Butler.

Margaret Whelan, Adell Thompson. Iva Kochendoefer and Dorothy Clafiin took part. From this number Iva Kochendoefer and Dorothy Clailin were chosen to represent Mondovi at Durand.

Bollinger, Instructor The Mondovi Stock Judging Team, composed of Rav Colby,'Rudolph Martin, and franklin Crawford, with August Linse as alternate, participated in the contests held at Alma, and Nelson. November, 20, 1924. Although Cochrane took first place with a score of 2101. Mondovi upheld the honor of the school by winning over Gilmanton, Durand and Nelson, with a score of 2.04.4. Ray Colby made an especially fine showing bv scoring 800. the highest score made by any individual at the contest. Although the three members of the team graduate this year, we have other ompetent members in the agricultural classes, who should make our next year’s team rank as one of the winning teams. AGRICULTURAL CLUB Officers President........................Harry Barstow Vice President...................Elmer' Ductscher Treasurer........................Rudolph Martin Secretary........................Rudolph Martin The object of the agriculture club, organized in .May 1924. is to secure closer cooperation among the students in agriculture and to promote agricultural, educations’, and social activities Two meetings of project workers took place during the summer. Meetings are now held once each month. Programs, which will further the agricultural knowledge of the students, are rendered. One of the biggest meetings of the year was held January Hi. 1925 in the form of a Father and Son banquet. After a hearty dinner, toasts and speeches were given by vaiious members of the club. Professor Tiffany of the Educational Department of the College of Agriculture, at Madison, was the principal speaker. I). A. Whelan gave a brief talk on “Opportunities in Agriculture.” Other speakers were: County Agent. S. P. Murat. Principal C. L. Dodge, and J. R. Bollinger. SCHOOL ACTIVITIES F’-eshmen-Sophomcre Reception October JO. 1924 the Freshmen were hII summoned to tin 11 i rh K'diool to become the victims of the Sophomores for the evening As they approached the building they were escorted through the back passage, to the furnace room, and finally up the dark stairs to tlie gloomy Chambers of Horror. Then, some laughing others shouting, they were escorted to tin Assembly ro m where th little Freshies were called upon to do a performance which was ’east suited to the actors. The best performance of the evening was a Mock Wedding, the faculty being the participants. This was done in the usual manner and was accompanied hv great mirth from the students. Finally, when the last Freshie had done his part, they ail descended the slide in no gentle fashion. After all had been whirled down, they assembled in the Agriculture room where cakes and ice cream was served Then, as a final measure, the Freshmen departed through the window by way of the slide. All reported an exciting and lively evening. Ph’lakean-Country Gentleman Party On the eve of January 27. 192. . the Philakean-Country Gentleman party was held at the Pavilion. Mr. Dodge was in charge and the party lasted from seven until nine-thirty o’clock. The first of the entertainment was games and a grand march about the hall. Mr. Dodge then performed an appreciable chemical trick amidst the laughter of alh Miller Barstow and Robert ( onger put on a clever physic stunt. The basketball and football teams gave demonstrations. Jim Voil. our cheerleader, led the crowd in yells, and he also gave a .iig. The Girl's basket ball team taught the dummy yell to tin rest of the party and then led them in it. This yell should be used more often. In the standing high jump. Ruby Wright received first. In the Milk bottle race. Alden Whelan carried off first honors In the 100 yard dash. Odin Clemenson won, Clarence Me Donald proved the winner in the shot put. flic Freshman won the relay race. Willard Le. copped first honors in the hurdle race. Altogether, the Seniors received the greatest number of first prizes. The Vilonian Society presented a mock wedding which was very good, not only because of Ralph Lyons’ ministerial abilities, but also because of the costumes used. Finally, the party ended with a program broadcasted from radio station M. II. S.. and then ice cream and cake were served. Everyone of the hundred seventy-five who were present, enjoyed the evening immensely. It was a good mixer. More such parties should be given before the year is over, and also, in tin years to come. Vilonian Party December Ifi. 1924. the Vilonian Society met in Room B. Several readings were given, also musical and vocal selections. Then who should appear upon the scene, but Santa Claus, who was no one else but Red Me Donald. He lavishly bestowed presents upon all. none costing more than ten cents and a11 having some entercsting rhyme attached to them. Each one was requested to appear before the audience to read their rheme and demonstrate their gift. All were summoned to the Teacher's Training Room where much fun was had. and Miss Hurley generously treated candies. Last, but not '.east delicious beef slew was served. Everyone reported a fine time. Football Banquet On December 8, the football boys, and coach were royally entertained by the Mondovi Men’s Civic Club, at the K. 1’. Hall. Attorney Grover L. Broad-foot acted as toast master for the occasion. Coach Me Mahon. Lynn Howard, and several others gave interesting talks on athletics. A sumptuous supper was served, and all did justice to it. The athletic teams appreciate the interest and courtesy which the Civic Club has shown towards them in all that thev have undertaken. Hi- didn’t get to CALENDAR ►'opt. 8 School opens.

EauClaire scored one touchdown just before the end of the first half, the second touchdown fourteen seconds before the close of the game. It was very interesting, despite the fact, that both teams were playing their first game. When the fact is taken into consideration, that six or seven of our boys had never played before, and some of the others had only been subs last season, it made the result of this game all the more pleasing. Mondcvi-0 Menomonie 16 The next game was scheduled to lx- played at .Menomonie on Saturday. Sept. 27. but. because of inclement weather, the game was postponed until the following Tuesday, when me met defeat by a 16-0 score. Menomonie s scoring consisted of two touchdowns, a goal after a touchdown and a drop kick. Mon dovi completed several passes for long gains, but was unable to score. Mondovi-40 Augusta-0 On the following Friday, the last day of the local county Fair, Mondovi overwhelmed “Red” Brown's Augusta aggregation by a 40 to 0 score. This was the first game in which Mondovi showed its scoring ability. By means of forward passes and line plays, Mondovi was able to score, at will against their outweighed opponents. Mondovi 58 Arcadia-0 On Oct. 11 Mondovi took great pleasure in defeating their old rival Arcadia. 1 he score was 58 to 0. It was a very one-sided game. At no time did Arcadia really threaten to tally. The score at the end of the half was 27-0. Mondovi-0 Stanley-24 The following Saturday Mondovi lost to Stanley 's undefeated team. The game was more closely fought than the score indicates. Mondovi played a strong defensive game and several times were within scoring territory, but were unable to score because of fumbles. Mondovi 27 Cotter 19 This game was the climax of the football season of 11124. Mondovi thrilled the spectators, when in the final period, they succeeded in completing the series of long passes. Two of these passes were about 30 yds. Cotter was the first to score. A pass put the ball on Mondovi’s 20 yd. line. Josswick. captain and star half-back of Cotter “tore off” 20 yds. through left tackle to score the 1st touchdown. Cotter again scored in the second period when Joswiek went over for a second touchdown, the goal kick went wild. A long pass from Clemenson to Aase resulted in a touchdown for Mondovi. The goal kick sailed between the bars, and the half ended with score 12 to 7 in Cotter’s favor. In the 3rd. quarter Joswiek again carried the ball over for the 3rd touchdown. Mondovi's break came in the fourth period, when Ode Clemenson raced 85 yds, for a touchdown after he recovered the Cotter’s fumble. Two more touchdowns were added during the period to the Mondovi score. After long passes from Aase to Clemenson on the 25 yd. line, and from Clemenson to Aase on the 50 yd. line were completed. REVIEW OF 1924-25 BASKET BALL SEASON Coach .McMahon's first call for candidates brought forth a large number of aspiring athletes which included nearly all of last year’s team. After the squad had been reduced to about fourteen membi rs, earnest practice, perfectly new plays in preparation for the first game, was begun on December 1. On Friday, December (i. the team opened the season with 21-7 victory at Independence. Mondovi took the lead from the first tip-off and from then on was never threatened. It .as a fast, inteiesting game, but both teams showed early season form. The prospects for a winning team looked the best it had for several veers. On the following Friday. Arcadia, with a loss of only one of last year's tournament winners, met defeat on the pavilion floor by a score of 20 to lli. The game was hard fought from start to finish, but the Mondovi Cagers showed a stronger attack and led most of the time. A week later .Vcadia avenged their defeat in the return game at Arcadia. The .78 to 0 football defeat was still piercing the minds of the Arcadians and they were determined to win by hook or by crook. Mondovi led then- opponents throughout the first three periods but in the fourth quarter the ciowd dominated the ref u-ee and succeeded in handing the Arcadia quintet a 12 to 17 victory. This was the only game of the season in which Mondovi was dissatisfied with the offieiative After Christmas vacation. Mondovi's tiist game was with Ciilmanton. Before one of the largest crowds that have ever witnessed a basket-ball game ir. this city Gilmauton succeeded in taking a fast, clean and exciting game from ns. Gilmanton was at its best while our has'eteers were not playing the brand of basket-ball of which they were capable. The score was, Ciilmanton 21. Mondovi 16. The next Friday Mondovi stayed a strong comeback with Fall ('ivek as ihe victim. In this game the team opened up with some real basket-ball and succeeded in piling up 33 points to their opponents 15. This was the fastest game played on the pavilion floor this season. In this game the t am regained confidence and were inspired with tIn determination to defeat (iilmanton. On January 2d we put the damper oil Gilmanton’s record. Prior to this game (iilmanton had been undefeated and boasted a record of twelve consecutive victories. It was a very clean and well p’aved game, but on account of exceedingly close guarding by both teams the score was kept down. Mondovi winning 11 to (i. The team showed wonderful improvement both in floor-work and in basket shooting. This victory entitled us to an elimination game. • In Tuesday. February 3. Mondovi beat Fall Creek on the latter's floor by a score of 34 to 29. This was probably the most exciting game of the season. Although Mondovi led their opponents throughout the game, at several periods the score was very close. The following Friday Mondovi continued its winning streak by defeating Durand High School’s quintet by a score of 30 to 2. Durand failed to score a single field goal while Mondovi scored at will. The next week two games were played with the Ban Claire normal seconds. On Tuesday the team lost by a score of 17 to 14. but on Friday Mon dovi defeated the same team in a very closely contested game on the Pavilion floor. The first half ended 10 to 4 in favor of the visitors, but Mondovi came back strong and tied it up at 10 all during the first few minutes of the second half. From then on it was a real fight. Mondovi would make a basket, and the Normal would drop one in and tie it again, until it was 1(5 all. Mondovi finally made a free throw which proved to be the winning point, as the visitors failed on two tries at free throws during the final seconds of play. On Wednesday February 25 the team added another victory by defeating Elk Mound. The score resulted: Mondovi 21. Elk Mound Hi. This game was of great importance in determining which team should play an elimination game. On Friday of the same week. Mondovi defeated Durand for the second time of the season. At the end of the half the score was Ifi to 0 in favor of Mondovi. In the second half, Durand came back and caged a few long shots and the score resulted in 22 to 12 victory for Mondovi. This was the last scheduled game of the season. Taken as a whole the basket-ball season for 1924-25 was a decided success. Out of the 12 scheduled games Mondovi won it and lost 3. The team scored 2C1 P°ints against their opponent’s 172. Although graduation will take most of this years squad, Coach McMahon will be able to build a strong team around Fritze Scott, Clinton Olson, Marvin Stoll and many other promising substitutes. P.y graduation the basket-ball team will lose Capt. “Ode” Clemcnson, “Mark” Aase, “Bub” Barstow, Harry Barstow. “Bum” Robbe, and “Horny” Hanson. BASEBALL Although baseball in our school did not receive the support of the fans that this Great American game deserves, the season did turn out successfully. Four regular games were played, and each was won easily. Other games scheduled had to be cancelled because of interference with the track schedule. Practice was held only twice a week by Mr. Senian who was assisted by Mr. 11. Tanner. In the first game played at the Fair Grounds Mondovi, defeated Elva 8 to 1. Jens Severson and Oden Clemenson alternated on the mound. A return game was played later at Elva, from which the boys returned on the long end of a 13 to 5 score, and in which L. Hanson starred. In the game at Gilmanton, Oden was credited with an 8 to 1 victory, lie certainly had the Gilmanton batters fanning the air lhat day. In a practice game, played with Alma, the boys were defeated 10 to 3. As a couple of semi-pro players were then playing on the Alma team, the boys were not at all depressed by the score, so when Gilmanton came up the following week the boys got revenge by trimming their ancient rivals 2G to 3. The personnel of the team was as follows: Clarence Robinson, Captain and catcher; Jens Severson, pitcher; Marcus Aase. first base; Barney Barstow, second base; Oden Clemenson short stop; Edward Johnson, third base; Roy Lee. left field: Sever Quale, Center field; Maynard Saxe, right field; Substitutes, Lawrence Hanson, Bierce Ruseling and Ilarry Barstow. O ut THE TRACK SEASON The hampionship of Wisconsin! How many schools hope for it. and work for it .' Every school in the state attempts to gain that distinction— which Mondovi can lay claim to in one respect. The Mondovi High School track squad had the champion one-half mile rc'ay team in Class H lii rli schools in Wisconsin last year. Xot only did the team rank tiist in this class, but they ranked fourth among all the high schools in the state. The only teams placing ahead of our boys in any race, were three squads from Milwaukee. These schools came in ahead of ours at the state meet at Madison, but they were in the Class A division of schools—that is. schools with over 300 enrollment. So Mondovi can be proud of being the possessor of at least one state athletic championship. Tin- members of this squad: Gordon Kruger. Oden Clemenson, Pierce tinseling. ami Jens Severson were developed into an aggregation that could negotiate the one-half mile in one minute and forty seconds, (best time) They pnitieipated in four meets, ami were never defeated. The boys won first place at Galesville. As dark horses they copped the race at I.a Ciosse in one minute and forty-two seconds. At Mondovi’s Track and Field Day they also won the Mile Relay in four minutes and seven seconds, but their greatest glory came when they won at Madison in the half-mile. On the whole Mondovi’s first year in Track competition proved highly successful, although the short training season was beset with many difficulties. ISecausc of baseball and inclement weather, the training schedule, necessary for a good track team, was broken up. Many of the bovs were baseball players as well as track men, so their time had to be divided between the two sports. Coach Senians overcame the bad weather problem somewhat by practicing on the 5ft yard straight-away in the County Fair horse barn. A jumping pit was also constructed in one of the adjoining barns so every one could keep in shape during the rainy weather. At the first meet participated in at Galesville, Mondovi easily won the large loving cup offered, besides numerous medals. The score was as follows: Mondovi 70G-; Galesville 23: Whitehall 18: Independence 1314. Out of Mondovi’s points, Jens Severson secured 17 -_ and Gordon Kruger 14' ( of them. Only 18 points were secured at La Crosse: while at the field meet held here on May 16, we were nosed out by Iluntbird by a narrow margin. The final score of this meet was: Humbird 37 fq : Mondovi 35; Fairchild 24: Altoon 16 and Galesville 3. At Madison. Marcus Aase tied for second place in the pole vaule at nine feet and six inches, and Jens Severson fourth place in the hurdles. The other boys made a spletilid showing. G. Kruger placed 5th in his heat in the 10ft yard dash. p. Ruscling was 5th in the 44ft yard dash, and O. Clemenson was 5th in the low hurdles finals. The trip to Madison was made possible by several loyal business men consisting of: E. Steinford. F. St. John. I). Whelan, Lynn Howard. Lee Howard. J. Berg, L. Solberg, E. Wang. G. Krueger and A. Clemenson. The boys mak-in the trip and Mr. Semans are indeed grateful to these men for the opportunity they gave to them. � TRACK SCHEDULE Galesville La Crosse Mondovi 100 Yard Dash First, Kruger Second.
