Anthony's Goodwill Hour , but the Lux Radio Theater is by far the one most favored, with quiz programs next. Ronald Reagan, Errol Flynn, and Mickey Rooney were found to be the favorite movie stars. Who did all you boys vote for, a.iyway? No Sophomore ever should be financially embarrassed, because in our recent poll we found over half our group quite regularly engaged in gainful occupations. Some these are- taking care of children, shoveling snow, and mowing lawns. Home dutiee existed mostly of doing dishes, carrying in wood, and helping with the chores. a nlnt to you gosslpers—the pet ,_.. a or most or the Sophomores is gossiping, so don’t tell your tales around us. Waiting for someone ranked second in our dislikes. The favorite hobby seemed to be gathering souvenirs and keeping scrap-books. Two girls even said they collected movie stars: (We wonder if they are kept in glass cages or are allowed to run about free.) By all indications of our class poll, in a few years the stenography field will be greatly over-crowded. We also have several would-be pilots to protect our country, so Uncle Sam doesn't have anything to worry about as far as the air force is concerned . These pilots will undoubtedly be able to protect the American public education freedom, and peace, of which all of us Sophomores are so proud.

Gilbert Bloom Reporter...........John Broadfoot A recent survey of the Freshman class reveals that they are an interested interesting, and very active group. We find that about 56$ of the students in this class live on farms, the greater number coming in on buses to our high school, while the remaining U% live in Mondovi. They grow 'em big and they grow 'em small in this part o' the country. We lined up our Freshman boys and saw their heights go from four feet eight inches to six feet-the girls ranged from four and one-half feet to five feet five inches. 50$ of the class are of Norwegian ancestry; 22$ of German. The remainder of the group are divided among French, Swiss, Dutch, Irish, English, Swedish, and Scotch origins. Baskethbaneh«etw� nff ?ager active Participants in extra-curricular subjects. Basket ball has twenty-six enrollees. Twenty-one are taking music in one form or an- other. Volleyball has sixteen; forensics, fourteen; kittenball, twelve; baseball, seven; football, seven; bowling, four. Dancing, track, boxing, and the Mirror Staff also claim their quotas. Basket ball ranks first as a favorite among extra-curricular activities. Music follows as a close second. In clubs, the F. H. A. takes top honors with twenty-four Freshman members; the G. A. A. is second in line with eleven. The F. F. A. has 3ix and the Pep Club, three. On the list of home duties, doing dishes is still the one task more than any other relegated to the younger members of the family. Also listed are: carrying ashes, making meals, making beds, taking care of children, carrying wood, cleaning house, shoveling walks, and running errands. Future vocations are visualized by the majority. The girls named music, teaching, home economics, stenography, physical education, beauty culture, aviation, and nursing. The boys listed chemistry, sailing, aviation, farming, medicine, baking, m-gineering, business, forestry, agriculture and mechanics. It is very interesting to note that 74% of the group plan to continue their education by attending a college, university, or training school.

Advanced algebra and solid geometry are primarily for students planning on college work. With Mr. Dodge instructing physics is always a popular course. The Seniors learn about the physical properties of matter primarily through experiments—and like it: Conjugating and declining. Life In the Middle Ages becomes real to the Freshmen as Everette, Alger, and Irving discuss the model of an ancient castle, one of many projects completed during our reading of Ivanhoe .

In English we attempt to master the means of oral and written communication that we may gain the greatest value possible from the experiences which come to us either tnrough literature or through our dally social contacts. Each year's work provides for a proper proportion of reading, writing,and sneaking, suited as nearly as possible to the abilities and needs of the Individuals In each group. Conciliating Landlord Snell of the Rainbow Inn (from 311as Marner ) stays the fiery farrier. John Berg and James Crandall ponder over producing proper sound effects as their English III classmates rehearse before the mike . Citizenship is studied by all Freshmen. The course is fundamentally a study of American Government, together with our state and local forms. Hews and national problems are brought to each student by the Weekly News Review. At all times the objective of the course is to form the students' attitude so as to expand and preserve the democratic way of life. Social Problems finds a wealth of study material in the happenings of these times. The first semester is devoted primarily to a survey of fundamental economics in relation to present governmental policies. The second part aeals with separate and interrelated problems facing us, such as comparative governmental philosophies, ’inemployment, housing, taxation, national defense, labor problems etc.In all phases tne student is encouraged to search for facts,to formulate his .own interpretations, and to express them. World History is a survey of man's story from the centuries before written history to the present day. It acquaints the student with man's bright spots of progress and his periods of retrogression.

The complex aims of the home economics department include the acquisition of knowledge concerning all aspects of home life and the development of skills in various concrete situations. We further aim to develop attitudes and standards of values to guide the students' conduct. The well-rounded three-year course is integrated to attempt to produce a band of efficient homemakers. Because of her excellent department, Stout Institute has chosen Mondovi as one of her cadet centers to train teachers in the field of home economics. c Om m a rc ia.

I believe, as a Future Homemaker of Wisconsin, that it is my duty and privilege to foster wholesome family living, to make a comfortable home out of the resources at my command, and to realize that the joy of living does not depend .upon wealth but upon health, willingness to sacrifice, cooperation, and pride in the task of homemaking. I believe that a girl in her hone may lead a full, happy useful life. I believe that as we live our girlhood now, so shall our womanhood be, and as our womanhood, so the future homes of our country. The Horae Economics Club, which is affiliated with the state and national organization, is made up of three divisions, namely: the Fireside grouD (Freshmen), the Candlelight group (Sophomores), and the Future Homemakers (Juniors and Seniors). The purpose of the organization is to encourage better family living ana to prepare members for their later life as the heads of the homes of our country. The organization holds one business and professional meeting each month. The club makes an effort to promote beneficial all-school activities each year, such as the furnishing of a rest room for girls, the sponsoring of an all-school courtesy week, the assembling of Christmas boxes for the poor.

DEBATE Friends: The question we are debating is, 'Resolved: That the power of the federal govern- ment be increased.' To the members of our debate squad, the proposition brings a host of argumentative ideas. It was that resolution which twenty-two schools met to consider at ChiDDewa Falls on February 14 at the annual debate tournament. This tournament was the climax of a season's activity in collecting material, studying the question, and actually debating. Our members commenced work early in tne fall under the direction of Mr. Lover, our coach. The tournament was the final objective. The debate squad found in this question a timely observation of world situations with relation to our own nation. They found that a question such as this is not one that may be decided without a great deal of concentration and lengthy discussion. For this reason, primarily, and for the invaluable experience gained through the speaking itself, the members of the squad count their time really well spent. Motion pictures of topical and immediate importance are shown regularly to all classes. Sound motion pictures are recognized as a valuable visual aid in education.

I'm sorry, dear.” Mrs. Spangler (Hazel Bielefeldt) keeps a rooming house at Brookfield College, and her roomers keep the house in a turmoil. Ed Burns (Bill Witt), has turned his room into a laboratory. Vic Lewis (Glenn Smith) has his easel in the living room. Howard Brant (Douglas Ward) works frantically on a term paper on Zoology. Lou Herron (Betty Adams), a journalism student, breezes in every now and then to use the typewriter, and—maybe—to see Ed. Ann Purcell (Berdella Gather), Howard's heart interest, has forgotten to reserve rooms for her millionaire father and mother. She can take care of her mother in the dorm, and she par-suades Howard to put her father up. When the dignified Mr. Purcell (Ciris Hanseman) arrives, Vic thinks he is the art model engaged to pose as a Bolshevik; then things happen—and Mr. Purcell withdraws his offer to present a new science building to the college, much to the dismay of President Dixon (Clifford Schultz). Howard's Aunt Maude (Lillian Swain), arrives unexpectedly, poses as a zoologisl to persuade Professor Bean (Donald Elkinton) to pass Howard. Mrs. Purcell (Marion Cook) thinks her husband is being held prisoner and comes in search. But why tell more? It was all fast and furious, and ended entirely to everybody's satisfaction.

BAND MOTHERS’ CLUB This group of band supporters has done a great deal toward helping the progress of our band. They have raised money for the band by holding public card parties and providing the Junior-Senior Banquet. It is largely through their efforts that we hope to have long-wished-for band uniforms soon. The officers of the club are: President, Mrs. Winthrop Nogle; Vice President, Mrs. Sam Skare; Secretary and Treasurer, Mrs. Newell Erickson; Press Agent, Mrs. R. A. Kreher. ---------------------- A CAPFELLA CHORUS At the beginning of the school year, voices were tested and a selection of sixty students was made for our chorus. Students from all classes were given an opportunity to sing in the chorus, but before the contest, select voices were taken because of the need for better balance of voices. During the course of the year, a great variety of music has been sung. A program of Christmas music was studied and presented one afternoon. Following this, the music for the spring contest was rehearsed.The required number selected was Turn Ye To Me , an old Scotch melody arranged by Noble Cain. The operetta, An Old Kentucky Garden , based on Stephen Foster's melodies, was given. Nineteen individual characters took part, with background music furnished by the chorus. MUSIC Of the nine, the loveliest three, Are painting, music, poetry, But thou art freest of the free, Matchless Muse of Harmony. It is 11:10 and time for another hand rehearsal. Chairs, stands, and ■ualc are set up on the stage; eaoh player is in his chair, and Kiss Neumann is announcing the music which is to be rehearsed for the period. Our Ensemble Drill Book is a good starter, for it gives us a chance to play soales and chords which help us to listen to the intonation of our band, to develop the technique of each player, to get a proper attack and release listening from each player. of tones, and to develop an incentive for bettei- After this preliminary practicing, we are usually ready for a peppy march—something like Honor Band or Airport (the one in which we never get together on the eighth notes). Following this inarch, there may be a request from some student—Mavis, most likely, because she sits right in front of Miss Neumann's stand and has a littlq better chance of being heard. But if it is another march, Miss Neumann thinks we had better practice Organ Melody because it must be ready for the contest in May, and anyway it is a slow, restful sort of composition which is .lust what we need to get those rich, full chords, so pleasing to our harmonic likes (or dislikes). Rosraarin , too, needs a little touching up in spots, so we shall proceed with that. That is such a satisfying number, for it gives the clarinets a chance to play with that soft, smooth tone, so vital to good band music. Goodness! There goes that five-minute bell, and Mavis still is disappointed to think we haven't played Starter . Well, we'll Just have time for that—but please take all second endings! Excused. The music students have attended two clinics this year. At the band clinics, each school -as represented by a small frroup of students, who played together with like groups from other schools in a mass band. Music for the spring contest was played and criticized by expert conductors. At the vocal clinic In Eau Claire,the Mondovl a caprella chorus was asked to sing os a sample of C class choral work. The criticisms and experiences we received from these clinics are valuable to us in our future study. The playing and singing together of students in groups makes for better musical understanding, through keen listening, practice in reading, and following directions. f 4
