Mondovi High School - Mirror Yearbook (Mondovi, WI)

Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1939 volume:

CO oc CO X Ld This MIRROR, among other things, attempts to show the development and progress made by the schools of Hondovi. The last year has witnessed a tremendous change. From an old, poorly equipped building we have moved into one of the finest, best equipped buildings in the state. It is to be hoped that our improved physical surroundings will result in a corresponding improvement in educational achievement. f FOREWORD Distance lends enchantment. In years to come we know we shall look back upon our high school days as being gay, happy, and carefree. It is our hope that this volume will preserve these cherished memories for us. DEDICATION We, the classes of ‘59and‘40, dedicate this record of events, our Mirror to the parents and taxpayers through, whose efforts and sacrifices we were enabled to attend our fine new school, of Which we are so proud. Douglas Solberg Editor-in Chief Marion Smith Co-Editor The Gay Nineties with its balloon sleeves, its bustles, and its hoop skirts are again brought to our minds as we look back to view the progress that has been made since those now far distant days. During this time many changes have taken place, both in our physical surroundings, and in our methods and facilities of education. In our Mirror we have tried to convey to you this progress in a pictorial manner, namely: by presenting to you a scene from each of the five dec- ades, scenes that were characteristic of that particular period, and are now tut highlights of the long ago.

Manager BASKETBALL 38-39 Our Buffaloes were unable to begin their basketball season with comoeting teams the first of the year as our new gym was still under construction. Their first games were lost by close scores. With the start of the new year, the Buffaloes got a new start. Their first victim was Alma. Then followed Black River Falls, Osseo, and Durand. The Durand victory was at Durand, and was the first one the Buffaloes had won there for a number of years. This victory, however, proved fatal to them, and they again began to anpear on short ends. It was not until four games later that they pulled themselves together by defeating Osseo, and once more hit the upward grade. This advance was again checked, however, by Colfax in an elimination game for entrance to the Eau Claire class B tournament. With this defeat their hopes to enter the tournament died. The Buffaloes finished this season by defeating Durand a double-header once more on their home floor. Roger Cook took high scoring honors for the season with a total of eighty-3ix points. Bob Mickelson and Russell Casey showed splendid floor work. Other players who deserve special honors were Bob Cooke, Skildum, Owen, Vincent, Ororud, and Bloss. Seniors on this team were Russell Casey, Robert Mickelson, Roger Cook, and Robert Cooke.

There is such a variety of activities that each is certain to find something to his taste. The boys play basketball with vim,vigor, and fouls a plenty; while the girls lose their excess pounds by playing volley ball, soccer-ball, dodge ball, long base, kitten ball, practicing calisthenics, and even dancing. Coach Deanovich has charge of the boys; and Miss Vohs, of the girls. The girls gym classes show lots of speed and skill in their daily workouts. The G. A. A. plays a fast brand of football as a pep stunt before a big game. G. A. A This looks like a home run in long base , a popular game in the Girls' Athletic Class. (Gal, what form!) Important among our long established high school organizations is the Girls Athletic Association, which year after year consistently and effectively carries out the work for which it originally was founded, the promotion of various types of interesting and healthful physical activities for girls. This year there has been an increase in membership, tfe have about forty members—thanks, to the interest of the freshmen. A point system has been worked out. Points are given for participation in the various activities, such as volley ball, basketball, kitten ball, etc. Felt letters are given at the end of each year to each girl who has earned 5C0 points or more. At the end of her senior year, each girl who has earned 800 points receives a blue blazer bearing a white M . Every year the organization gives a football and a basketball honor of the boys who were on the teams. This year the girls sold and souvenirs at the games and school parties. banquet in refreshments This year, however, the gym schedule made it impossible for the girls to have a basketball team, so a play was given instead, each girl taking part receiving the points given for being on the basketball team. BLACK RIVER FALLS 7 MONDO VI 6 (September 83) Captain....Russell Casey Our blue-olad boys met their first foes of the season on their home field, but in spite of their streneth were unable to conquer. In the second quarter, after a Monduvi march of 50 yards, Casey pushed over the goal line for our only score. Black River Falls, after recovering a fumble on Mondovi's 20 yard line, was not stopped until they reached the goal line. A pass was completed for the extra point. New men to see action in this game were Dennis Skildum, Merle Femreite, and Alton Dutter.

Our running rlays would not gain yardage, and our passes did not click. Augusta scored in the third quarter after the only drive of the day. Mickel-son, blocking an Augusta kick, picked it up and crossed the goal line, untouched for our line touchdown. Casey failed to convert the extra point. ARCADIA 14 — MONDOVI 6 (October 7) Captain...Bob Trowbridge Playing before a homecoming crowd, the Buffaloes, backed by a large group of students, went into the game with high spirits. In the early minutes of the game, with good blocking of every player and the running of Bloss and Cooke, the Buffaloes were not stopped until Casey crossed the goal line with a line plunge. At this point Arcadia took the game into their own hands. Their accurate passing and fast running scored a touchdown in the second quarter and another plus a safety in the third quarter, to place the Buffaloes again on the short end. DURAND 0 -- MONDOVI 0 (October 12) Captain....Bob Mickelson. Playing the last game of the season on a field covered with mud and water, the Buffaloes and their archenemies battled to a scoreless tie. Because of the condition of the field, our mud-covered eleven were unable to launch any drive whatsoever. Durand, threatening Just once, came within a few inches of the goal line, but was unable to proceed any further. Great defensive ball was played on the part of all players.

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The Future Farmers of America is, as the name implies, an organization to train the youth of today to become the farmers of tomorrow. It strives to instill in the youth the character, ambition, and integrity required of a good farmer, as well as to train him along sound business lines. Furthermore, it attempts to cultivate the love of the soil and the love of nature, which are the essentials of a true farmer and which are inherent in so many of us. During the past year the members of the Mondovi Chapter of the F. F. A. were prominent in judging activities. Four teams were sent to Madison. These teams were-Fat Stock, Dairy and Poultry Judging and Grain and Seed Identification. A jamboree, Oyster Suoper and a Father and Son Banquet were held. The Jamboree was to acquaint new students with older members. The Oyster Suoper was to raise money to supplement that already in the F. F. A. treasury. The Father-Son Banquet was purely for the entertainment of the boys and their elders with a speaker engaged for the evening. A varied recreational program was offered including Ping ong, Checkers, Kitten ball, and Basketball. A Checker tournament was held with the champion receiving a prize. A basketball tournament and a speaking contest were held in the spring in competition with the neighboring F. F. A. Chapters. As a grand climax to the year’s program, a trip was taken to northern Wisconsin where students truly enjoyed nature in the rough and took an active part in outdoor life.

JUNIOR CLASS PLAY '39 Moonshine and Honeysuckle properly initiated the new stage on March 14, 1S39, with a startling performance, with Clem Rockwell, as the Hill-Billy son of Ma Brotzman, and Pa Vincent, mowing them down. Buck Owen and Annie Smith put on some loving that came close to beating Clem and Cracker Evans. Tom Bevins played by Gerry Arneson, and Peg Leg Gaddis played by LaVern Bloss, put up a feud that looked almost too real. Norm Grorud playipg as Pink Freeze, was having his usual troubles with women; and Marj Tanz, as Piney Hyatt, finally landed a man in the person of Peddler Reid Perry. Nor-een V erlein looked more like a gypsy than most gypsies do, and Dennis Skildum portrayed justice and law in the Hill-Billy country as the law abiding judge. JUNIOR CLASS PLAY •3? On December 7, 1937, the Junior Class presented Climbing Roses , the story of a family of truck farmers who tried their best to climb the social trellis when beautiful Peggy Rose (Marge Knudtson) was willed Uncle Sidney's fashionable house in the city. The haughty Mrs. Warren (Reve Hoyt) who lived in the house and was nearly distracted when she learned of this, turned to her friend, sophisticated Joyce Belmont (Lucille Wendt), and together, they tried their best to persuade the Roses to go back to the farm. The Roses, Peggy, Maggie (Gladys Smith), and Jim (Douglas Solberg), finally decided to call on Mr. Watson (Bob Trowbridge) to teach them society manners . Things started to pop when 'Watson and his pal, Ferdie Wimbledon (Russell Casey), arrived on the scene to start their work. Hazel Sommers (Lois Davis) nearly worried Ferdie to death by plainly showing her determination to marry him, and Priscella Prentice (Mary Bushey) a hopeless old maid, topped any situation off with one of her spells . Plenty of comedy was furnished by Dryden Proonis (Bob Mickelson), a loud and boisterous salesman for the Zipper Auto Company, and ercy Southworth (Bud Witt) , who was learning how to be dominent” from a book. There was plenty of fun when the three Prince Rudolphs turned up and 'Watson turned out to be none other than the famous Jack Archer in person. The play was a huge success—pleasing the audience and replenishing the coffers of the junior class. • •• .• • '! f% ■� « — 9 1 % 2 I « I « i HISTORY HONDOVI HIGH SCHOOL Mondovi High School classes were first conducted in a wooden frame building , which had been constructed in 1871, at a cost of a little over $3000, upon the site of the present Lincoln School. Here in 1890, the first class, consisting of Mabel Farrington, Minnie Kramer, and Anna Smith, were graduated. Miss Farrington was the first Mondovi graduate to attend college. This was the first as well as the last class to graduate from this building, since the structure was destroyed by a fire of mysterious origin during the night of March 11, 1891. Mondovi High School 1387--189i The question of rebuilding became a I-recced in 1871) vital issue, as Mondovians realized that only a larger and better school could accommodate the steadily increasing enrollment. Immediate action ensued--school meetings, town board meetings, general elections, procurance of a state grant. By November of the same year the recently wrecked, two-story, brick-veneered structure was built at a cost of approximately $12,000. These excerpts from the Mondovi Herald of the time indicate the enthusiasm of the community: That the results will fully justify the large expenditure of money, there is no question. It will do much to hasten other improvements and enterprises. A place that exhibits such interest in regard to educational matters is sure to attract the attention of people who are looking for a location. .....Its imposing appearance, great convenience, healthfulness, elegant finish- ing, and roominess favor a high order of intelligence and good citizenship. This building contained five large rooms and several small class rooms, all supplied with the most modern appliances of that day. It is interesting to note that what we of today knew to be Main Room at that time constituted the entire high school department. This building housed the grammar, intermediate, and the primary departments as well. There was only a three year high school course offered, and the students were started in Class C. When they passed the full requirements of the class, they were promoted to Class B, and when they finally passed Class A, they were graduated. Bible reading and prayer constituted the opening exercises every morning. In 1893, a four year course was installed, and the high school was accepted on the accredited list of the University of 7 isconsin. This brought about many changes in the subjects taught and the methods of teaching. Even football played a prominent part in these early school days. The first football team was started in the late 1890's. It is interesting to know that in 1899 the high school library contained 500 volumes, which were moved down town to the post office room so that persons who did not attend school could have access to them. We now have about 3,500 volumes in our school library. Graduation exercises were held in one of the churches. Every graduating student was obliged to write an essay, commit it to memory, and recite it at the program. The test musician of the town played or sang, and, as now, a minister gave the invocation and benediction. From time to time, improvements and additions were made in both routine study and extra-curricular activities. In 1907 the first basketball team was started. About the same time forensics were developed. In 1911, the home economics and agricultural departments were installed. Latin replaced German. The Lincoln Building was built in 1898, the Whelan Building in 1904, and in 1925 the Catholic School was rented for the third and fourth grades. The number of faculty members increased through the years from one to twenty. The enrollment in the high school was increased from a bout fifty in the nineties to 285 in 1939. The total enrollment in the schools of Mondovi has increased from 170 to 581. And in the meantime the good old brick-veneered building, which at one time had been elegant, healthful, and roomy became Just the opposite. Finally, in 1933, an application was filed with the Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works for a grant to aid in the construction of a 3125,000 high school and grade building. For two years little was heard of this apolication, but finally in August 1937, word was received from the regional P. W. A. office that the project has been approved. At a special election the voters indicated their desire to accept the grant of the Federal Government when, by an enormous majority, they passed a bond issue of |85,000. The Board of Ecuation immediately contracted with Law, Law, and potter, Architects, to plan the building, and bids were let on November 10, 1937. in all there were 22 bidders. The contract was let to Johnson and Kramer of St. Charles, Minnesota. Work was started January 13, 1938. The amount of the original grant of the Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works was $56,250. Later an additional grant of $11,700 was awarded the district to aid in the purchase of equipment for the new building and to make necessary repairs on the Whelan Building. These grants were not in the form of loans, but were outright gifts by the Federal Government to the school district. The new building will accommodate approximately 500 students. All equipment is the latest. The gymnasium is one of the finest in the country. Bleachers along the sides and folding Clairs in the center provide seats for 1200 people. At the west end is a large stage, beneath which are rooms for storing chairs, band instruments, music, and uniforms. And thus the history of our school shows how The old order changeth yielding place to the new. —Evelyn Schultz High School 1891—1938 DEDICATION SERVICES The dedication program for our new high school was held at 8 P. , Thursday, December 29, 1938.

Hay was used to keep the ground from freezing deeper and steamer used to thaw out ground already frozen. Repeated breakdowns of this new type shovel slowed down excavation. Blasting broke frozen ground. Excavation totaled 81,000 cubic feet. First Concrete wa9 poured March 3. Approximately 800 tons of sand and gravel used to make 22,000 cubic feet of concrete. 112,000 board feet of lumber was used in construction and interior. The first of 150,000 bricks was laid on April 16. 145 tons of structural steel were required. The floor area is 37,589 square feet. -nrnij The main part of the building is 154 ft. X 61 ft. The first steel was erected on April 1, 1938. A Kewanee boiler (a Wisconsin product) is the heart of the central heating system for both the new high school and the Whelan Grade School Building. The volume of the whole building is 552,189 cubic feet. The total cost was $142,231.00 On December 3, 1938 the completed building was officially turned over to the School District by the General Contractors, Johnson and Kramer.

THE LAST DAY IN THE OLD BUILDING On November 11, all of the students went forth to school--some with an extremely active gait as if eager to get there for the last day--others with reluctant steps as if sad at the thought of leaving. Main room was in Just one grand scramble. We had our first two classes. Those in main room during second period were very curious to know why pieces of cord were being hung on various nails in convenient places around the room. Finally our sense of curiosity was satisfied when Mr. Dodge announced that everyone should get one of these cords and a piece of paper from the main room desk, with which to wrap up our books, papers, pencils, and what not. Some of us can wrap packages about as well as kittens can tie bow-knots. At about three minutes to eleven we sang our school song. The outward appearance was one of anticipation, gaiety, and • pep , but I wonder, if at the bottom of all these, there weren’t just a few sad threads of pleasant memories. Eleven o’clock found everyone facing the east. Such tranquil calm never before had pervaded the main room! Jubilant, and yet a wee bit sad we all walked down the worn stairs and out of the old building for the last time. Outside we posed to have our pictures taken. Then carrying our packages and balancing precariously on the planks laid in the mud, we marched single file over to our new school. V M I hi J? = ■. Tien D a fl«e GiKT rJL The dawn of a new day came, the 28th of November 1938, and with it eager anticipation, for on that day we were to enter our new high school. To be sure most of us had glimpsed the inside of it before, but none of us had really explored it fully. Now the long-awaited day had arrived! Compared to the dilapidated old ruin to which we had been accustomed, the new building seemed a raagnificant edifice. Upon our entry, however, we were perhaps, somewhat taken aback at hearing several voices command: Remove your overshoes if you have any; otherwise clean off your shoes. ''Too much like home1,1 we thought grimly. Nevertheless, we obliged; then hurried on to the nearest bulletin board to find our locker and room assignment. Next we got our books, and proceeded to stow them away in our respective lockers. After completing this task, we found our home rooms, where we waited for the bell to ring. After a few days of bustle and confusion, during which time we had our fill of exploration , we settled down once more to our routine tasks, quite satisfied. The library is a workroom and opens on study hall. Home Ec. breakfast room. Physics students experimenting in chemistry lab.

The sailing may not always be smooth, but we are not going to help matters by whining. Constant complaining breeds weaklings. It gives us the deadly alibi habit. It kills ability, ambition, and the intestinal fortitude to make good. It drugs our enterprise and initiative. It saps our will to live. You and I have a job to do....a darned hard one. We ere met with a situation where complaints and alibis form the two proverbial horns of the Satan of Failure. We can best do that job by developing a cheerful, hopeful, positive attitude toward our work. I complained because I had no shoes.......until I met a man 'who had no feet. —c. Cxendine.
