She throws another log on the fire and dances to Walter Damrosch’s symphony orchestra for amusement. Charles Farrell is her hero, and Janet Gaynor, her competitor. ROBERT AMIDON A Pennsylvania Dutchman whose one ambition is to buy a car and take Mae West out in some green forest to pick lady slippers. Here’s good judgment for you—his favorite orchestra is the Mondovi High School Orchestra. GLADYS ANDERSON Shy? Bashful? I should say not - if you only knew her! She is looking for her ideal partner in life, but meanwhile spends her time listening to Wayne King, eating potato salad, and reading “Big Sister”. THERESA BOLLINGER Here comes a loyal supporter of the US. Navy. Her size nine footwear seems to help her immensely with all of the dancing she does and plans on doing. When she’s not dancing, she’s playing basketball or picking roses. ROY CHARLAND Mr. Charland hopes someday to be a big, handsome pilot, and he would like to travel and eat pie. What would he do with S5000? Keep it! Perhaps, here is an opening for you female lovers of red hair. 9 ALVINA CHRISTOPHERSON Why, Alvina! How can you disappoint all your ardent admirers by wishing to marry late in life? She likes music, roses, and fruit salad. AMOS BL E COLBY How do you do Baron Munchausen! This great big giant does not use intoxicating liquor in any form but spends his time being a pest and translating Latin. WILLARD CODINGS Willard is a lad with great ambitions in life, who evidently is not the least bit interested in anyone of the opposite sex except Kate Smith. He spends his leisure time playing Tarzan of the Apes. ERLA COOK Erla has great visions of being a private secretary to some big, handsome concert performer. She likes all types of athletics, and she adores Hollywood Crooners. GEORGE COOK Here is a future electrician to grace the name of Mondovi High School. He wishes for wisdom and the privilege to skate, hunt and fish all he wants to. DORWIN COOK No, don’t be surprised! Mr. Cook plans on marrying very, very, very late in life, and then his mate must have plenty of horse sense. He likes “summertime” best. LA VERNE CRAPSER Listen, you dark-eyed damsels, if you want to get on the good side of La Verne, you must feed him all the jello he can get. But you must also be willing to live in a big city, and have hundreds of volumes of Shakespeare around 10 GERALD HANSON Joe Penner in person! Free show! Ten cents, please. Does he like spaghetti? You should see him roll it on his chop-ticks. Right now, he’s having a hard time deciding whom he like best - Loretta Young or Mae West. MARION HARVEY I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! At least, Marion thinks we should. Her favorite study in high school is Algebra. Mr. Miller, can you believe that? But, also, she has great ambitions of becoming rich and famous someday. AUDRI HAUNSCHILD Audri thinks that the most enjoyable as well as the most profitable way in which to spend her leisure time is in studying. Don’t try to kid us, girlie, we know you too well! Some of her favorites are: Cary Grant, chili con came, and algebra. MILDRED HILL Here is another love of music. She likes to listen to the ayrack Symphony and Kate Smith - provided the music happens to be popular. She doesn’t know why, but escalloped potatoes just seem to appeal to her. PAUL HILLIARD Paul wants to be a roaming cowboy and live in the wild and wooly West. Girling? Nobody will do but Mae West, and then we will have to wait awhile before her big, handsome “he-man” is ready to settle down. MERLIN HOCH Merlin is a little German lad who takes a particular interest in hunting. Evidently, he’s not afraid of the big bad wolf. He has no heroine, but Slim Summerville is his greatly-admired hero. 11 RALPH HOLMES You never hear a great deal out of Ralph; maybe it’s because he keeps his thoughts to himself And what thoughts! He loves to dream that “It aint going to rain anymore. If he ever happens to get $5000, he will put it in a nice, safe bank. JOSEPHINE HOVEY This little girl with the hazel eyes often hides great secrets behind them. She likes to read Longfellow’s works, and she is one of the very few girls who like Mae West. Maybe it’s because she doesn’t need to worry about any competition when it comes to the opposite sex. LEANNA HUSTAD Right this way, Miss Hannah, for here you will find a true and faithful admirer of your Home Ec. Class. Perhaps, the reason why Leanna’s favorite dish is fried frog logs is that she used to use toad stools for umbrellas when she was small, and she feels that she’s indebted to their rightful owners—the frogs. NORMAN JACOBSON Three cheers for Norman! His greatest ambition in life is to maintain good health, and that’s more than some people ever think of doing. Oh, oh, girls! Here’s your chance. He does not have any bad habits. But please be careful; don’t crowd so! ANNABELLE KENT Annabelle is the world’s tallest living person—eight feet or more. And she’s Norwegian too! Too bad, boys, there’s not a chance in the world. Her hero is Babe Ruth, now and forever after. What do you think of that? WERNER KREYER You’ve gotta be a football hero to get along with the beautiful girls! Is it ever true in this case! Werner has great ambitions about getting acquainted with Janet Gaynor; He seems to prefer midgets, doesn’t he? 12 LOWELL LAWRENCE We wonder how Lowell could possibly stand to be a forest ranger, and be away from all of his girl-friends for so long a time. Perhaps he would lose his broken heart by reading, which is his favorite pastime now. ROBERT LOFTE Gee, girls! When Bob gets to be an aviator, maybe he’ll take us for a ride. Will we be thrilled! ‘‘Noodles, noodles, who has the noodles!” would be his theme song. Perhaps, the good cook of his dreams will have to order them by the bushel in order to keep him well supplied. TEDMOR LONGSETH Mr. Longseth believes that a lie, theft, or murder is justifiable when it has been forgiven. Now, we don’t know what to think about that! If you little lasses ever hope to be a friend of Tedmor’s, don’t acquire any bad habits such as drinking and smoking, because he won’t allow it. IRENE LURNDAL Pretty soon in her life Irene is going to be an aviatrix, fly out to Hollywood, and bring back Clark Gable. We hope you have good luck, Irene, but don’t you dare start a fight with some other woman over him, because that wouldn’t be exactly ladylike. BEATRICE MOE By the looks of things, here is another aviatrix in the making. Although she claims she wants to be a Nurse, she simply worships Lindbergh, and that’s a bad sign. Now, my lads, are you honest, trustworthy, and strong? If you aren’t, you had better get busy. For Beatrice won’t accept you under par. 13 EVERETTE NELSON So we have a second Napoleon in our class! Everett’s greatest ambition in life is to rule over others, whom he will compel to spend all their time making apple pie a-la-mode for him. He prefers blondes but considers reading newspapers to be the most profitable way to spend his time. MILDRED NORSON This little Norwegian lass’ greatest ambition in life is to become a musician of importance—which we could all guess because of her interest in musical activities. She hasn’t yet decided whether she wishes to marry early or late in life, but when she does woe to the unlucky person that doesn’t like chili con came! PHYLLIS OLBERT When Phyllis realizes her greatest ambition and becomes a teacher, we are sure that all of her pupils will leave her classes only by force. Even though she is as sweet as sugar, she would rather eat fruits than any of Webster’s best chocolates. PHYLLIS PARR Who wouldn’t come out to a baseball game if they found that Phyllis was on the team? Some day that’s where you’ll probably find her because baseball is her favorite sport. Her favorites are apple salad, Kate Smith and the Eau Claire Leader. FRIEDA SCHREINER Frieda says that her ideal husband must be capable of loving and being loved. Sentimentality, we calls it; But just the same, she most desired to possess wisdom and we think that she is certainly well on the way toward realizing her ambition. LORIS SCHULTZ Loris’ greatest ambition is to become a large and strong person so that all of the ice cream he plans on eating won’t harm him in any way. His most interesting hobby is reading, which fact is not hard to believe. 14 HILMA SIE A future seamstress! And she probably will be a famous one because she most desires to have fame. Evidently, Hilma believes she can have her good times quietly, because her favorite amusements are listening to the radio and reading the “Readers Digest”. MARCUS STIENKE Oh, Marcus must have already chosen his favorite freshman girl because he wishes to marry early in life. She must be ambitious, good-looking, large, and honest. Contrary to the rule, if he suddenly received $5000, he would try to increase it. There’s also a bit of egotism in the boy, too, because Marcus likes the Mondovi High School Orchestra best of any. ROBERT STOLL Believe it or not, but Bob’s favorite dish is mashed gravy and potatoes, and we heard it from a “purty” good source! He told us that his heroine is his best girl friend. Now, just which one of them is she? We weren’t going to tell you that Bob’s favorite amusement is dancing, so I guess we won’t. BARBARA TEELA An extra-curricular activity in which Barbara takes part is sliding. We wonder where; down banisters? She loves to dance, and when she’s not doing that, she listens to bam dance programs on the radio. And, also, we’re sure the Prince of Wales would find a place in Barbara’s heart. IRENE TEELA If someone suddenly kidnapped Irene and took her off to the Canary Islands; she would be perfectly contented because there she would find all the bananas she wanted. In school, Irene is in her seventh heaven when she can study citizenship. Perhaps, it’s because of her excellent instructor. 15 JEAN T NES “Five foot two, eyes of blue, oh what those two eyes can do— This little Irish lass finds her amusement in dancing and eating hot chocolates. She most desires fame and her favorite newspaper is the Mondovi “Herald-News”. ALICE THOMPSON Alice’s chief interest in life is to become a little girl like the majority of her classmates. On her favorite holiday, which is her birthday, she sings “Good Old Mountain Music”, and listens to “Wolf Paw” on the radio. DIXON TRUSLER We all know that Dixon is on his way to being a Second Mark Twain or Booth Tarkington. Funny, but he isn’t quite sure about his height, for he states that he is all the way from 5’4” to 5’8”. JACK TURNER This ladies’ man hails from Montana, and is he fussy about his women! Lovable, beautiful, and popular are the characteristics they must possess. His greatest ambition is to eat. He’ll probably be a 300 pounder some day. ELEANORE URNESS Eleanore prefers Shakespeare to Zane Grey, and who wouldn’t! She likes to spend her leisure time reading his works, and her free periods in school are given to the study of Home Economics, which she prefers to all other high school subjects. JOHN OLE WARD Why, John Ole Ward, are we surprised at you! He wishes his future wife to be a user of opium. But we know your game now; you’re thinking of sneaking out on her when she is under its influence. As you all know, Mr. Ward plans on becoming a famous orchestra leader. At least he’s thinking about it. 16 DORIS WENDT Doris, you nasty girl! Do you actually read true stories? How scandalous! But, however, her chief interest in life is cooking, and she really plans on obtaining wisdom instead of wealth or fame. PATRICIA WHELAN When Miss Whelan speaks of holidays, she means them, for her favorite one is three months of summer vacation. Some of her favorites are roses, Mickey Mouse, “Last Round-Up.” And Tom Mix. BETTY WITT Folks, meet the future politician of the class of 1936! Do we like this; she refuses to tell her hero; Oh, come now, Betty, let’s just make it a secret between you and us. Won’t that be all right? Her chief interest in life is having fun. Not bad at all! 18 JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS PRESIDENT—GLEN MAHER VICE PRESIDENT—RUTH HUEBNER SECRETARY AND TREASURER—RAYMOND D HUSTAD WHO’S WHO IN THE JUNIOR CLASS LEW AMIDON Lew E.

Alice has even turned to good reading. The “Tryst” is her favorite book. The man that she marries must be honest, handsome, and have good habits; but she doesn’t want to get married for a while. Stick, around, boys. Listen gentlemen, she wants a great deal of wealth, so while you are waiting for her hand in marriage you had better be storing up the dough and getting that little country home. If Alice ever came into possession of $5,000, she would travel.

She has light brown hair and blue eyes. Her three greatest ambitions are to be well thought of, to become a mathematics teacher, or a rural teacher. Jane’s chief interest in life is to get as good an education as she possibly can. Jane’s future husband must have the following characteristics: Honesty, ambition, politeness, and neatness. She doesn’t want to marry early, nor does she want to marry late but she wants to marry in between. Jane is in favor of prohibition.

He is fond of farming and likes to spend his leisure time in hunting and fishing. FAVORITES Outdoor sport— baseball Comic Strip—Mickie Mouse Holiday— Christmas Newspaper—Eau Claire Leader Season—Summer Magazine—The American Dish —Potato Salad Actor—Ken Maynard NEIL W. BUTLER On September 17, 1917, Neil Butler arrived in Mondovi. Neil is tall, has dark hair and blue eyes. His three ambitions are: to travel, to earn money, and to have a good time. (We believe, though, that he would like to be a great political leader in the Socialist party. He certainly argued enough in our American History class.) His wife must be “peppy”, romantic, and “good-looking”, and must have plenty of horse sense. His favorite hobby is riding wild horses. If he suddenly came into possession of $5,000, he would board a ship and travel. FAVORITES Book—Up From Slavery Comic Strip— Wash Tubbs Dish— Chili Con Came Orchestra— Hay Wagon Author—Zane Grey Symphony Actress —Mae West Flower — Lily Hymn — “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” 29 KATHERINE CRARY “Crappy” was bom in Eau Claire on June 14, 1916. She is a slender, little Miss brown hair and blue eyes. Her greatest ambitions are: to become a primary teacher, to become a nurse, or to become a bookkeeper. Her greatest amusement is going to shows. She wishes to marry late in life, and she wishes the person she marries to be honest, to have ambition, to have clean habits, and to be good natured. She says she wants to live in a small town, so evidently the lucky fellow lives right here in good old Mondovi. FAVORITES Dish—Blueberry Pie Comic Strip —Maggie and Jiggs Orchestra—Wayne King Author—Grace Hill Radio Program—Tena and Tim EVA DREYSSE Eva was presented to this world on September 18, 1916, in the town of Albany in Pepin County. Eva says she has no ambitions nor interests in life. Funny, isn’t it? However, she does intend to get married, though late in life. Her husband must be tall, truthful, dark and wealthy. Evidently, Eva believes in living a life of ease amidst luxury in a large city. This gal has no favorite orchestra, but she likes jazz. Perhaps, she likes the Junior Ambassadors, too. Her favorite amusement is dancing. Her favorite selection is “Good-night, little girl of my.” We wonder why! FAVORITES Hymn —Rock of Ages Dish—Banana Pie Book —Uncle Tom’s Cabin Actor — “Bob” Montgomery Author — Poe—HORRORS! Actress —Joan Crawford Comic Strip —Felix the cat. Radio Program—Baron Munchausen - Vas you dere? 30 MARGARET DREYSSE Brown haired, brown eyed Margaret was bom June 6, 1916 in Dover, Wisconsin. Margaret’s three greatest ambitions are dancing, going to movies, and hiking, and her chief interest in life is dancing. In other words she lives just for the fun she gets out of life. She wants to marry late in life to a wise, healthy, wealthy, and love-giving man. Such men are scarce, but I hope you get your man. Her biggest desire is to have wealth, and she wants to live in a city. (Perhaps her reason for living in a city is that she will be sure to see her favorite movie stars, “Bob” Montgomery and Joan Crawford.) But, you can stick to good old “Monkeydovi” to hear your favorite jazz band - Chan Caldwell’s noise makers. If she should get $5,000, she would go to the city and spend it. See!! FAVORITES Flower—Rose Newspaper — Mondovi Herald Magazine—True Story Season—Summer Hymn — Rock of Ages Study— Physics Popular Song—Black Moonlight 31 PAUL EDE Paul Ede first saw the light of day in Mondovi on June 5, 1915. He is a great, big six-foot (and then some) Norwegian with brown hair and brown eyes. Paul’s greatest ambitions are (1) to be an undertaker (2) to be a musician (3) to be an electrician. His chief interest in life is undertaking. His favorite amusement is teasing the girls - and how many girls have come close to committing murder because of this! He thinks that the most profitable way and the most enjoyable way to spend his time is in going to bed or sitting. (He doesn’t have to tell anyone that because it’s surely no secret. Paul wishes to marry early in life and he wishes the girl he marries to have (1) personality (2) looks (3) ability to cook well. FAVORITES Dish — Ice Cream Radio Program — Jimmy Allen Heroine — Mae West Author — Zane Grey Comic Strip —Wash Tubbs Popular Song — The Last Round-Up (We’d expect as much from an undertaker.)

She wants her husband to be (1) good natured (2) blonde (3) healthy (4) a successful farmer. She prefers to tie the knot early in life to get it over with. Now Lillian!

She now lives in the nice little city of Mondovi. She entered our high school as a freshman. Billie’s three ambitions in order of their importance are: dancing, journalism, and stenography. Hop to it kid. You have all the chance in the world. Listen on this, you dear boys. Her future husband must have the following characteristics: sense of humor, kindness, and truthfulness. What! She’s never going to marry? Gee, Billie I think that is a bad time to turn back after stating such wonderful characteristics that your husband must possess. You bet, she’s in favor of prohibition. Her desire is to have wealth and wisdom. Billie considers reading a very profitable way in which to spend her leisure time. If she suddenly comes into possession of $5,000, she would buy clothes, go to school, and in general have a good time. What girl wouldn’t?

This young miss, known to her friends as “Blondie”, is of medium height and slender build. Her three greatest ambitions are to be a radio singer, a teacher of Ancient History, or a teacher in the primary grades. Although she says that she never intends to marry, she wants her husband to be tall, dark, handsome and a “keen dresser.” “Trying to be good” is her chief interest in life. (We wonder?) Her favorite amusement is cracking jokes (How well we know it) Never will we be able to forget “Blondie” and her jokes. We wonder why she is not in favor of prohibition when she says that she does not use intoxication liquor in any form. Should she suddenly come into possession of $5,000, she would travel into every state in the Union. (Evidently, she believes in seeing America first.)

His greatest ambitions are (1) to be a business success (2) to be a great lawyer (3) to be a millionaire. (He doesn’t want much does he?) His chief interest in life is cars, his favorite amusement is making a sucker out of someone, and he thinks that the most enjoyable and profitable way in which to spend time is sleeping. He doesn’t know whether he wants to marry early or late in life, but whichever it is, he wants the lucky girl to be lovable, full of pep, beautiful in shape and face and to have nice curves.

He is five feet ten inches tall and of slender build. His ambitions differ from those of the majority of the seniors. He wants to get married, have a nice family, and be able to support them. (Evidently, some girl is in luck. Who is she? It s a deep dark mystery.) The lucky girl must be kind, have a fair form, be a good housekeeper and be able to save money. (Sounds like a Scotchman). He wishes to marry early, too, as he wants an early start. Above all, he desires wisdom, and music is his chief interest in life. (Perhaps someday we’ll be able to hear a famous violinist and what a joy when we discover that it is our old pal. Flasher.) Were we shocked when we discovered that Flasher’s favorite amusement was Coking”? His favorite dish is a platter, so we can be sure that he’ll have a great number of them in the little house in the country.

Let’s all hope he will be successful. All right, girls, perk up your ears and listen hard. He desired his wife to be a history teacher, wants her to wear glasses, have beauty and sex appeal.

She wants to marry late in life, but don’t go to Europe boys. Helen might become the President of the United States, and you may have a chance to be the first gentleman of the land.

What is this my crystal ball tells me? It shows me the great success that Irvin Olson has achieved as Wayne King the second! I can virtually hear the mellow music of the great orchestra as they play in the Aragon Ballroom at Chicago. But it is already fading and into my vision comes another senior—Edith Lilleskov, the well-known dashing Hollywood star whose latest picture won for her the greatest fame any one has ever known. What are these which are coming into my vision? Tents? Assuredly so, and in one I see the familiar form of Alice Accola. What is she doing here? Oh! Now I see, she is librarian of the C.C.C. Camp at Gilmanton, Wisconsin. 51 Skyscrapers! What do they mean? We are entering New York. There goes a familiar looking face. It is our old friend, Elmer Brownell. Let us follow him and see where he is going. There he goes up the steps into—what is it? An artist’s lobby! There comes the beautiful Anita McGuine, his model. What success they have achieved together. We travel now to our nation’s capital where Herbert Hoover presides as president. There is an old classmate of ours sitting in his private room - who is Secretary of State under his much loved and admired acquaintance, Herbert Hoover. Whose is that deep voice I hear? It sounds like Miss Williams, but no! It’s too deep It actually resembles that of the great history lover among us—Paul Ede. It is none other than he, himself. He now holds the position vacated by Miss Williams, which was vacated when she moved to Mendota, H-m-m! I smell cabbage! Now wonder! Here is a boarding house. We must enter and see what this house can tell us We are very glad that we entered because we find Billie Englesby, one of the charming girls of our class. Who would have believed that Billie would be a spinster? What is this strange land I am coming to? Who are these people I see in the fields? They are Russians! What does my crystal intend to show me here? Ah, now I understand. On the verandah of a beautiful house I see Adrian Feckler, now Food Commissioner of the U S S R. And who should be sitting beside him but a blonde girl, his wife, who resembles Lucille Evans very greatly. What is this solemn-looking room that we are entering now? It is a court. Oh, Dear! How many familiar faces there are here. What can that quite dignified looking lady be doing here? She is so familiar looking. Why it is Evelyn Lorenz and she is bringing suit against John Walker for heart balm. It seems that John was found paying attention to Allie Johnson. Poor John! Poor John! There is another familiar face - Helen Lumdal of all people. She is bringing suit against Warren Espen for a divorce, and Blanche Moy is the third party in that triple non-alliance I feel a refreshing breeze. Oh, Italy looms before me. I see operas, and one has opened here just before us. A lady is 52 beginning to sing. That voice has awakened memories. Who is it? Margaret Dreysse - can it be she? Of course, it is our own Margaret. Now the curtain goes down and it arises again to show us a snappy vivacious, ballet dancer, very widely known in foreign capitals, and she is none other than Phyllis Putzier. Bottles! Tubes! Bunsen Burners! What is the meaning of this? Well, who would have thought that happy-go-lucky Eva Dreysse would have become ambitious enough to become a chemist in the big United States Laboratory? In the same building we find Marshall Flasher, mixing up formulas and weighing calories as a famous dietician of the day. Chicago - of course, no class is complete without one of the members living there. I see that unforgettable member of our class who was always getting into trouble - Katherine Crary - -giving that famous dignified leader of our society a permanent. Slanting eyes, yellow skin—how strange. We are entering the Orient. I see someone standing on a soap box, preaching to a group of Chinamen. It is our old friend Norma Thompson, who is now a missionary in China. How familiar these roads look. Could it be possible that we are journeying to our old hometown, Mondovi? I believe it is possible that we are - there is a road sign. Let us try to read it. It says “Eleva, population 1000.” There is the prosperous farm where Wayne Hart lives. The much-celebrated Physics teacher of Eleva - Gretchen Trusler, boards with him and his wife, formerly Ruby Loomis. There’s Gretchen now, studying up some kind of chemical mixture. Oh! It seems good to be home again. Let us walk around and see who we know. There is Allen Hilliard, dominating Mayor of our old hometown. Roy Struck, the red-haired man with the stiff white collar who is pastor of the Methodist Church. And there is Muriel Moe the assistant Postmaster! This looks bad! And there is Warren Peeso, the professional gigolo. What a shock! Here are Wayne and Ruby going through town! Where can they be going? Ah, to Minneapolis. Let’s follow them! They now visit someone we know. They stop in Hudson... at a little cottage. Why, it’s Rita Wild’s. She’s an old maid now, and we all had such hopes... 53 There go Wayne and Ruby into the office of the President Hamilton University. And who is that little, painted stenographer? Why, it’s Catherine Tanner! Who would have thought it? And Annette Robinson is the stem, prim-looking professor, who keeps the students in hand . and she certainly does. 54 ; tv ? ■ •' f i-' rw ■• iwjftSP ?r nWr V'rk?': ‘ A1 § i V --' nv - ■} C, WM; . � V .- M AC ,. mki t'A. m - • '• - 0 «� —■ V «A ■ ■■ � ■... ■ � � ■■ TiV v it vJ- J5 - ■ ; .x- ) . mmm yM SK .vX i s -w tii L.j - • .-•• ’: , , 7!fc- 4F - ■- w . ‘-V . v f T V pfe yjg; v ■ ■ I.—� !.'. !� , ' V l( H l | ' l i r ' - p -«■ i..W m 55 CHESTER L. DODGE B. Windsor, Wisconsin, Sunday, September 2, 18 , weight 190 pounds; 5’4” tall, has green eyes and not enough hair to tell the color, but he claims to be only 54 years old. However, he has recently propounded a theorem whereby two equals one, which perhaps accounts for the difference. He also seems to be rather confused in his genealogy. He is Scotch but belongs to the black race. He would not commit himself as to religion. He intends never to attend college. He is a worshiper of Dumas, the author of The Count of Monte Cristo, his favorite book, of Mickie Mouse, Eddie Cantor, and a rabid follower of golf. He wished to marry early in life and to have a good natured better half He believes that false-hood, theft, and murder are justifiable, especially the latter.

Mondovi was held scoreless after this, while Neilsville scored three more touchdowns on power plays. The last non-conference game was played at Arcadia.

In the last quarter the lighter team weakened considerably, and Arcadia scored three touchdowns. In the first conference game, Mondovi lost to Owen by a score of 32-7. Mondovi’s lone touchdown was made by virtue of a pass from Stoll to Lieberman who also scored the extra point.

Although Augusta was outplayed, the game ended at 6 all. The opponents scored in the first quarter, and Mondovi came back to score in the second quarter when Helwig plunged through the line.

In the overtime period Blair scored on an easy shot and then stalled the last minute. Hanson and Lieberman scored 6 and 8 points respectively. Mondovi played without Helwig and Walker. Scharf played only part of the game due to illness. On Thanksgiving Day Mondovi defeated Osseo 23-22 to win their first conference game. Osseo was leading 19-8 in the last quarter when Mondovi speeded up and scored field goals from every angle. Mondovi’s victory was due to every players scoring in the final period, while at the same time playing a good defensive game. On December 8 Eau Claire defeated Mondovi 28 - 13 on their home court. The purple team was larger and deserved to win. Mondovi threatened only once, and that was in the third quarter when Hanson and Lieberman each scored two field goals.

Hanson’s field goal, followed by four more by Lieberman gave Mondovi a lead of ten to three in the 62 first quarter. Mondovi slowed up and Merrillan, putting on more speed, pulled out to win. Leroy Larson, flashy Merrillan forward, scored ten points, most of them close-in shots, and was largely responsible for his team’s victory. In an overtime game Mondovi defeated Arcadia on January 19 by a score of 24-20. Mondovi trailed at the half 12-3 but had narrowed the margin at the end of the third quarter when the score was 18-14.

In the overtime period Stoll scored a field goal and Griffiths and Lieberman each a free throw. Hanson led the Mondovi scoring. Scharf played great defensive games.

In the first overtime period each team scored a field goal, while in the second overtime period only MondoOvi was able to do the same thing. Lieberman, Hanson, and Stoll scored 10, 9, and 8 point, respectively. Scharf and Griffiths must also be mentioned for their good defensive work.

The score was close until the last three minutes when Osseo sank four filed goals. Scharf was put out of the game because of personal fouls. Stoll played a good defensive game, leading his team in scoring. On February 23 Mondovi lost the last conference game to Arcadia by a score of 21-34. Although the Mondovi team outplayed their opponents a great deal of the time, Arcadia was lucky enough to sink enough long shots to win. The game, however, did not have any bearing in the conference as the Durand team were already the conference champions. ELIMINATION GAME Mondovi had an opportunity to play Taylor in an elimination game for the district. Tournament and won 23-26. Taylor led the entire first half, but Mondovi took the lead in the second half and kept it. Hanson and Griffiths went out of the game on four personal fouls but were well replaced by N. Cook and Struck. TOURNAMENT Mondovi played Augusta in the first game in the district tournament and was defeated by a score of 22-14. The Blue and White played a slow game and had little drive. Nevertheless, the score was close all the way until the last minute when Mondovi sacrificed their defense to score. In the second game of the tournament, Mondovi played Fall Creek. Playing a driving game and out passing the Fall Creek team, Mondovi led at the half 13-12. In the final quarter Mondovi fell behind and at the end of the game was trailing 21-25. Even though Mondovi lost both games, they made a fine showing against Fall Creek. They will have practically the same team next season, and they should be somewhat improved. TRACK 64 Track has always been the main spring sport of Mondovi. This year many boys turned out for practice. Mr. Sterling worked hard every day getting his boys in condition for the track meets.

MUSIC In the fall of 1933 a group of students gathered together to organize a band. They were all very industrious, and, being under the able leadership of Miss Sheehan, they soon had a band that Mondovi High School could well be proud of. The names of the students in this band follow: John Ward Gerald Hanson Audri Haunschild Dorwin Cook Paul Berg Blaine Colby Marshall Ward Paul Ede John Walker John ICreher Robert Griffiths Jean Snoyenbos Mildred Norson Allie Johnson Betty Aase Marshall Flasher Gilroy Espen Bonnie Ward Phyllis Putzier The band played at most of the home basketball game and several public programs. They also held spring concerts and held Memorial Day exercises. The orchestra was not as active this year as in former years. However, it furnished some very fine music for the junior and Senior Class plays. The octet is composes of Muriel Moe, Phyllis Olbert, Catherine Tanner, Mildred Norson, Gretchen Trusler, and Betty Aase. They sang two selections at the senior class play. A mixed octette was also formed this year. It is composed of Muriel Moe, Myra Nyre, Gretchen Trusler, Betty Aase, Charles Scharf, Bud Maher, Robert Stoll, and John Kreher. All the musical groups have worked hard, and attained high success. They have contributed much to school entertainments and public programs in the city. FORENSICS 68 On Thursday afternoon, April 12, the first forensic contest was held in the high school assembly. This was the oratorical contest with six contestants, four boys and two girls.

Mondovi took only one place at this meeting, and this was taken by Allie Johnson in extemporaneous reading. CLUBS SIGMA DELTA KAPPA The Sigma Delta Kappa (Senior Dramatic Club) was organized by the senior English class early in the year. The following officers were elected: President, Jane Bergerson; Vice President, Charles Scharf; Secretary, Adrian Feckler; Treasurer, Helen Lumdal. The purpose of the organization was to further the interest of the students in good literature. Programs were presented on Wednesday of every second week. Those programs were 69 educational and entertaining. The reports of the secretary, which were written in a very original style, brought forth peals of laughter at every meeting. BETA EPSILON KAPPA The Junior English class organized a better English club, the Beta Epsilon Kappa, which met every other Wednesday during the year. The officers for the first semester were: President: Alston Olson; Vice President, Verle Kins; Secretary and Treasurer, Ethel Smith. Those for the second semester were: President, John Kreher; Vice President, Bob Griffiths; Secretary and Treasurer, Vilas Lieberman. Everyone enjoyed the programs and profited by them, and we hope to have another club next year. GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The G.A.A. is an organization which strives to interest as many high school girls as possible in varied athletics, including basketball, volleyball, hiking, soccer, kittenball, skiing, tennis and skating. For participation in these activities points are awarded. When a girl has 500 points, she may get a letter. A senior may get a blazer with 800 points. Any high school girl desiring to participate in the activities of the organization is eligible. The officers for this year were as follows: President, Rita Wild; Vice President, Almeda Farrington; Secretary, Phyllis Putzier; Treasurer, Jean Snoyenbos. No fault could possibly be found in their management. Several parties were held this year. The first was intended for new members. Everyone was supposed to wear futuristic costumes. Many of these may best be described as assscreams. Several older members took out groups of freshmen, walking them solemnly around the town and compelling them to perform various idiotic antics. It seemed the last straw to the freshmen when they were smeared with rouge and forced to walk around the race track alone. (Frances Broadfoot didn’t like to hike wearing three-inch heels, and she didn’t care who knew it.) Afterwards popcorn and games made up for wounded pride and blistered heels. Later on a sleigh ride party and scavenger party were held. 70 There was a Christmas party, too, with a Santa Claus and everything. Several weeks before Easter the members were divided into two groups to see which could make the best money. Group II won and so at the end of the year group I was forced to plan a big party for them. Such were the various activities of the G.A.A. during the past year. Next year we shall miss our loyal sponsor and standby. Miss Williams The members will hence need to exert themselves to keep the organization going. FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The officers of the F.F.A. for this year were as follows: President, Allen Hilliard; Vice President, Loris Schultz; Secretary, Norman Jacobson; Treasurer, Sherman Cooke; Reporter, Wayne Hart. The club held several meetings this year, and all of them were very well attended. Last fall three future farmers, Loris Schultz, Paul Rieck, and Norman Jacobson, represented the chapter in the state cattle judging contest at Madison. Wendell Robinson accompanied the group, as an alternate and also as a delegate to the state F.F.A. meeting held in the same city. On his return home Wendell told the group of the accomplishments and procedure of the meeting. At one of our recent meetings, the Future Farmers voted to join the state organization for another year. This will allow our chapter to participate in the state F.F.A affairs and also send teams to Madison for the various contests held in the fall The chapter has been very successful in its attempts to make the organization as interesting as possible We hope that the local chapter will be able to continue with its success ion future years. SOCIAL ACTIVITIES SCHOOL PARTIES This year a new plan for the entertainment of the students was initiated with great success. These were the all-school parties at which a variety of games and dancing ensured everyone of a good time. These gatherings offered a new way in which to 71 become better acquainted with fellow-students—to learn to appreciate their companionship in social life as well as in school The parties were held once a month in the third and fourth grade auditorium. Some of them were held after school and some in the evening. Music for dancing was furnished by the “Junior Ambassadors.” A Christmas party was given just before Christmas vacation began. A play, “Christmas Roses,” was given. The orchestra played several appropriate numbers, and small gifts were exchanged. Some of the gifts were accompanied by verses which helped to enliven the party. Of course, a Christmas party would not be complete without Santa Claus, who obligingly gave a bag of candy to each one present. It is the sincere wish of all the students that this form of entertainment may be continued with as much success as it has enjoyed thus far. FRESHMEN-SOPHOMORE PARTY On one dark, spooky, Hallowe’en night last October about forty frightened freshmen walked on trembling limbs in the direction of the Catholic school. What for? No, they weren’t up to Hallowe’en tricks again; they were just going there for the purpose of becoming eligible and recognized members of Mondovi High School. But, alas, all their hopes of being tortured and poisoned were shattered when they discovered that their “elders,” the sophomores, were just planning on giving them a little party. After a very marvelous program had been given; including some rather personal plays, the freshmen lost their last fear of the sophomores when they wre given the pleasure of playing games with them. And then, when everyone was completely exhausted from the strenuous “track meet,” reinforcements in the form of ice cream and wafers were distributed. Each freshman girl chose her favorite partner, and together they partook of the tasty delicacies offered them. After the little party was over, some of the nice responsible sophomore boys saw to it that several little freshman girls arrived home at their bedtime. Well, to say at least the party was a great success (ahem!), and everybody lived happily ever after. 72 distributed.

JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET On the evening of May 18, the juniors and seniors met in the basement of the Norwegian-Lutheran Church to partake of a delicious three-course dinner prepared by the ladies aid of that church. The theme of “The Last Round-Up” was used throughout the banquet. Guyland Smith took the part of the “Lone Cowboy” singer, the sophomore “servers” were dressed as cowboys and cowgirls, and the songs sung by the group as a whole were of the “cowboy” type. Charles Scharf acted as toastmaster, introducing the following toasts: The First Branding Glen Maher The Last Round-Up Muriel Moe Quirts John Kreher Seniorita Adrian Feckler Senior Lucille Evans The Last Round-Up Jane Bergerson Altogether, there were approximately eighty people present, and everyone (with the possible exception of those who had to give toasts) enjoyed himself to the fullest extent. 73 MAY-ALL SCHOOL PARTY The May All-School Party was held at the Opera House on May 18 following the Junior-Senior Banquet. The hall was decorated in garden fashion. The party lasted from 8:45 to 12 o’clock. The grand march with Charles Scharf and Ruth Huebner took place at 9:15. The other boys chosen by popular vote to follow the king and queen were: Robert Griffiths, Glen Maher, John Kreher, John Walker, Paul Ede, Wayne Hart, and Roy Struck. The chaperones for the evening were Mr. and Mrs. Dodge, Mr. and Mrs. Fisher, Dr. and Mrs. Johnson, and Mr. and Mrs. Nogle. Royce Adrian and his band furnished the music for the dancing, and for those who didn’t wish to dance there were games. All in all the party was a great success. 2 FRESHMEN DOI ORDER GIVEN NAME OCCUPATION Bardill, Florence Acting studious Bardill, Myrtle Getting A’s Bauer, Raymond Punctuality Berg, Paul... Chewing Gum
