It has been a highly successful year for Monte High. In the minds of most high school students it is merely a common event, one of regular occurrence, but for us Seniors it means much more. It means the passing of our High School days, the happiest that we will ever know. Our school has been an ever-ready friend ; mem- ories of it will linger in our minds for years to come. Let us, then, look back at this eventful moment and solemnly recall Those Golden School Days that will play such an important part in the formation of our future. Do you remember the first grade? What joy was ours! ! No cares or worries to suppress our happiness. Most of us were led to school by our parents, and carefully watched by our teacher. Our lessons, too, were different from the present ones. They required little, if any, preparation. Those were the days!! The first grade was soon a thing of the past, and the next few grades following offered more difficult studies step by step, until, at last, we arrived at the seventh grade, the Junior High School ! ! Can you remember how we used to envy those boys and girls in the Junior High? And then the feeling that completely dazed us when we, too, were to enter the Little High School. Although we seldom stop to dwell upon the subject, we really owe the foundation of our womanhood and manhood to those principles we learned in the Junior High. It was there that we were, for the first time, deprived of daily recess that we had so long enjoyed, and we had to make the most of it without it. We were being cut out for High School and the greater things in life. Oh, yes, by all means let us not forget our old faithful friend The Junior Globe. What a program it was when someone read that masterpiece of student origin ! How funny those now common jokes appeared to our sense of humor. As actors and actresses our ability was by no means limited in the operetta Cinderella. Then, at last, we, with a few exceptions, passed out of the Junior High and into the then spacious halls of the Senior High School. How foolish we felt, and how out of place we appeared those first few days. But it was not long before we decided that we added quite a bit to High School ' s Better Part and we slowly became ac- customed to its ways and problems. Nothing much was contributed by the ' 28ers in the Freshman year, except, perhaps, a few locks of hair (why — ??). But in our Sophomore year we shocked everyone by winning the Homecoming Float Prize, one of the highest Class Honors of the year. Then, too, some of us had a somewhat difficult time, when the year closed, making 8 credits out of 7. The third year of High School, our Junior year, meant a great deal to us in many lines. In the first place, it marked us as upper-classmen, and allowed us to domineer over the Frosh and Sophomores. We must not forget, at this point, those boys of our class who made up the Purple grid team. Without them our team would have been helpless. Our artistic efforts for Homecoming resulted in a second place float. Not so bad. And then the Junior Class Play, It Pays to Advertise, given to a capacity house, was well received. This marked the class play debut in High School. Soon following, the Class of ' 27 enjoyed the best meal of the year at the Junior-Senior Banquet. This was a big affair and our class must be commended on its efforts in making the banquet the success that it was. And now we are Seniors ! Well near the finish mark of our High School careers. We won another first place this year in the Homecoming Float Parade, and are leaving a very good record for coming classes to duplicate. The Senior Play, Stop Thief, was the hit of the year and one of the most successful High School plays ever staged in Montevideo. So much for those sweet memories. The future is before us, and we owe it to God, our country, and ourselves to make the most of it. Vernon D. Hamlin, ' 28. PAGE TWENTY-SIX SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Hear ye, heed ye, one and all Listen to your prophet ' s call For the veil of the future ' s been cut in tivain By the spirit of prophecy descending again As into the future we gaze We see the friends of our High School days. We, two members of the class of 1928 of the Montevideo High School, on the first day of April, 1928, implored the aid of the great Marjah, and asked him to reveal to us the fates of the members of our class as they were decreed for the first day of April, 1928, permitting us, thus, to see what the future had in store for our class-mates, and to discover their immense importance in our great universe. We will admit that we were very much astonished and could not help doubting some of the things that were revealed to us but as some of the revelations agreed perfectly with our expectations which were the results of characteristics that were displayed by the individuals during our four years of High School life, we re- ceived without approbation the information given by the great prophet. We wish to state, however, that if this prophecy appears radical and absurd, you will think at least twice before placing any accusations on the two undersigned for we are presenting to you in black and white, only such things as were dictated to us by the Marjah himself — in simple words, we are only middlemen. After we had been presented to the Marjah and had told him the purpose of our visit, he turned to an immense bookcase and from a shelf above which was written Montevideo he took a beautiful Purple and Gold book numbered 1928 and gave us the following information: Russell Arnold has become prime minister to Sweden where he was discussing the possibilities of air mail service between that country and his former home, Montevideo, Minnesota. It seemed that there existed some very influential person whose letters he could not receive soon enough ; to our great disappointment, how- ever, we were unanswered when we inquired about his friend. Our astonishment was doubled when we were told that members of our class had attracted more attention in the Scandinavian countries during the past years than had people from any other class in the world. Our classmate and friend, Helen Linnee, was the prima donna in Ziegfeld ' s Faust which was then being PAGE TWENTY-SEVEN C 51 ! e l lK given throughout northern Europe. While at Stockholm she was a guest of the royal family and after a banquet given in her honor she was again asked to display her vocal ability which she did by singing II Etait un Bergere, a song that she had learned in French II while attending high school in Montevideo. We were also told that her maid, Gertrude Knapp, at a recent skiing party had been the favorite partner of the crown prince — Harvard Sederstrom. Clarence Adamson, the world-famous attorney from Copenhagen, was at present engaged as an attorney in defense in a large lumber scandal in which Harry Charter and Ted Arneson were accused of damaging some young fir trees on the estate which was the summer home of the royal family of Norway. It seemed that Ted and Harry had made a bet as to their ability in handling the axe. Both were accused of the destruction of private property while Ted had an additional crime of misdemeanor against him because of laughing at the king ' s messenger, Earl Saue, when told that the transgressors were requested to report to the king immediately. This was done and both had become rather solemn when they realized what was before them ; but as they proceeded toward the king, Ted who previously had walked with bowed head, lifted his eyes for a glance at his majesty. He suddenly burst out in a roar of laughter for lo! and behold! seated before him on the throne was Dennis Johnson and beside him his queen Lyla Heiren. (The case may, perhaps, be dismissed.) There was an unusual disturbance and excitement prevalent in the court be- cause of the preparations for the outstanding football game of the season, the one between the leading girls ' colleges of the two countries. Herbert Saumer coached the Norway team of which Harriet Woolery was captain and Sylvan Saumer was the coach of the Swedish team captained by Irene Barager. The sum of $1,000 was to be paid to Earl Paulson who was to referee this game which was scheduled for December 25, 1938, in the land of the Midnight Sun. We had hoped and expected that this would conclude the finding of our classmates who had become renowned in the northern European countries, but no, Marie Abel and Fern Augeson were rapidly becoming famous in Oslo, Norway. Marie as a leader in the national movement for woman suffrage and Fern as the founder and matron of the largest and best known Orphanage in the world. For the time being we were asked to forget Europe and turn our thoughts toward Asia where the Dead Sea, formerly famous because of its Biblical history, had offered some special attraction, perhaps the novelty of the thing, to Myrtle Jorgenson -and Clarice Lyngen, who had established a summer resort there. It PAGE TWENTY-EIGHT iP . o was a very elaborate and magnificent place visited by people from all over the world. The proprietors had used very good choice in selecting their cooks and proclaimed them the best in the world, their best prepared and favorite dish being the varied preparations of lutefisk. To our surprise the cooks proved to be Ella Weckwerth and Clarice Thornton. Among the present guests at the resort were Selma Engel, Florence Sumner and Evelyn Johnson, who were making a tour collecting and buying Angora Cats with which they intended to establish a cat farm near Mecca. A great public wed- ding had taken place the preceding day and we were somewhat amazed to dis- cover that the groom was Lester Ost. The bride, however, seemed more difficult to recognize because on passing through the Holy Land she was closely veiled so we had to depend on our memory of high school days. Alone and secluded in his private library on his estate on the island of Malta sat Clinton Hanson refusing to see anyone except his wife (??) and his servant and childhood friend Wilford Hein until he had completed his second volume of poetry called Childhood Memories — using the village of Wegdahl and the sur- rounding community for settings. Now for America ! The result of the last presidential election proved to be the greatest surprise of all. We became as if thunder-struck when informed that Minnesota ' s favorite daughter, Flora Hamilton, aided by her faithful classmate and friend Maurice Hegstrom had attracted universal attention by becoming the first woman president of the United States. Upon taking the oath of office from the Chief Justice, Vernon Hamlin, her first administrative act was to appoint Walter Axness chairman of the League of Nations ' Convention which was to con- vene in a short time in the Gunlaugson Palace at Wake Island, the host and hostess being our high school friends Fredrick Gunlaugson and Eleanor Pitts. This mag- nificent palace had been built under the supervision of Verna Quam whose fame as an architect had become so great that she could accept contracts for the con- struction of only cathedrals and palaces. The most important persons at this convention were to be President Flora Hamilton and her private secretary Ethel Dvergsten and Chief Justice Hamlin of the United States. The latter was to have the unusual honor of being toast master at the convention banquet. Another distinguished guest was to be the Arabian Prince, Dean Ostrander, who after a great deal of trouble and misunderstanding had married a beautiful Arabian princess. This act had caused a great many broken hearts which finally resulted in the formation of a society known as the T.N.M. or the Trust No Man society organized and directed by Nora Jacob- Z PAGE TWENTY-NINE c s G = := iu : son in the Western Hemisphere, at the present living in Valparaiso, Chile, where she was seeking consolation by translating into Hebrew her favorite book Gentle- men Prefer Blondes. She had taken unusual efforts in presenting in the intro- duction what she thought to be the outstanding characteristics of a gentleman. In the Eastern Hemisphere this society was rapidly developing under the direction of Climene Thomas residing at Moscow, Russia, where she had recently established a girls ' training school. A shock of terror filled us when we were told of the great dangers that Wanda Elrod, Elsialien Everson and Gladys Hacker had encountered on their Good Will Tour across the Asiatic Plateau, which was being made by bicycles. During the thirteenth day of their tour they had fallen into the hands of a band of natives from Kaferstan. They were bound and carried to a nearby village where they were brought before the king, weak and pale with fear. They fainted as they entered the court yard, but when they recovered again they saw standing before them with a large fan in his hand Clarence Schall who had proved more successful in becoming king than the character in Kipling ' s short story, The Man Who Would Be King. Their capture had not proved as fatal as they had anticipated for King Clar- ence furnished them with two servants and six body guards who were to assis t them in completing their tour. They continued their journey but on the following day they were deserted by their servants and guards who also deprived them of their means of travel. This left them in greater danger than ever before, and as they were pondering on what they should do to escape destruction a herd of buffaloes came thundering toward them. They became hysterical, but as if by some magic force, fifty feet from them the herd turned to the right and a man on horseback approached them. This proved to be Donald Barber who had established a wild animal range specializing in the raising of buffaloes and elephants. Some of the latter were to be used in furnishing ivory for the keys in a magnificent grand piano which was being made for San Frena Kent who was to be Udell Ol- son ' s accompanist while he was making his musical tour through the British Isles. Previous to entering his engagement with a Grand Opera company, Udell had been scheduled by an English Missionary Society to make this tour through the British Isles. It was rumored that this society, of which Eleanor Pederson was the presi- dent, was to use the surplus, after paying Udell $1,000 for his charitable service, to buy red flannel for shirts for the two million African orphan children which it was clothing. After singing in the Shakespearean Theatre in London, previous to his en- PAGE THIRTY € § v gagement with the Missionary Society, he was amazed to be greeted by the Prince of Wales, formerly Carlton Heinold. This gave him the opportunity of being in- vited to a banquet which the English royal family was giving for America ' s most beautiful and well dressed woman, Helen Rhoades. The Prince was making his last effort to win this fair lady, whose engagement to Henry Ford ' s successor and heir, Wallace Frisholm, had been rumored. Wally had changed the output of the factory from that of Fords to birds, which was a verification of the 1928 air- plane, but so simple that it could be operated safely by anyone who could wind and set an alarm clock, for by turning a certain key a certain number of times and setting the hands of a compass-like instrument to indicate the direction in which one wished to travel. The trip would be accomplished without any other effort on the part of the traveler, except turning another key when he was above the desired place, which was indicated by its call letters, or signals (similar to our present day radio station signals) which were placed on very long flag poles above the various cities. (,We inquired as to Montevideo ' s signals and were told that they would be M.H.S. ) The famous Eskimo Orchestra directed by Duane Fisch was to furnish the music for this banquet. Up to this time Dutch and his musicians had been play- ing for concerts, banquets, balls, etc., in Cairo, Egypt, in the Spanish Court in Madrid, and in Sidney, Australia, as well as many other large cities. They were also to be present at the League of Nations Convention and from there were going to Washington, D. C. The Spanish court which was the most frivolous and romantic court of the time contained several of our friends and classmates. The three outstanding ballet dancers in the court were : Senorita de Qarraga, Senorita Ibanez, and Sen- orita Vin, whose American names were Emma Axness, Tryphine Hemstad and Bernice Marholz. They had also been awarded prizes for the best costumes at the National Masquerade Ball. Most of their time, however, was spent in entertaining the members of the court and their visitors. At present Senor Marino-Garcia (Donald Pomroy) and Senorita Conchita Concha (Ora Foss) were the most prominent members of the court, and in the general sense were considered as count and countess of the social world because they were constantly entertaining and being entertained. It was at a banquet given by the Count and Countess for their friend, Presi- dent Flora Hamilton of the United States, that Dutch Fisch and his orchestra had played while in Madrid. The three famous ballet dancers had also been present and entertained the American visitor. The elaborate and beautiful gowns and M . PAGE THIRTY-ONE € § Q: % e costumes worn by the court members at their social functions were designed and made by persons who were employed by this court only. Dolores Rhoads was the supervisor and chief designer and her assistants were Ruth Berg, Charlotte Han- son and Myrtle Anderson. In the famous zoo at the national park in Madrid there was the very well known snake charmer, Mable Giere. She was very graceful in the handling of her pets which she had named after her many cast-off suitors. She was to be present in Madrid for only a week after which she had been scheduled to travel with a large show company from Italy. This company of which Arthur Hart was the president and director, was to furnish entertainment at the Dead Sea summer re- sort, for a period of three days after which it was going to Calcutta, India, for a three weeks ' show. The British military forces stationed at Calcutta were under the supervision of Oramel Emery who had proved as successful in his new posi- tion as leader as he had proved as our yell leader in Monte High School. Last — but not least, we were informed that the members of the Class of Nine- teen Hundred and Twenty-Eight were all to be present at a grand and glorious class reunion to be given by the President of the United States at Washington, D. C, on June 8, 1938. — This was the end and the information on the remaining pages of the large Purple and Gold Book of 1928 had not as yet been written distinctly enough for presentation, and the Marjah informed us that it had to remain closed for a whole year before further information could be obtained as to the future of our friends. Suddenly we realized that we had an amazing and in- teresting future before us so we immediately began it by returning to our present. By Hazelle Gallagher and Alma Oie PAGE THIRTY-TWO ' ) Sze.

So immediately they took up the great and magnifi- cent task of carting their loved ones to the little red school house on Third street. Here they introduced us to a teacher and later to a bunch of normal training teachers. They also decided things for us. Here we received our first education in the way of poetry. That early start has helped us learn the poetry of this long school year. We marched up notch by notch until we came to the sixth grade. Here a few of our marvelous class decided that they liked the surroundings there so they stayed for another year. The following year we increased the size of the Junior High School somewhat but the floors still held up under the strain. Here some of our evil boys took up that ancient art of shooting paper wads. While we were there we wrote some fine articles for The Junior Globe but our time was so limited and valuable that we couldn ' t do much in that line. The next year we did more of this same work. The boys showed their athletic prowess at this time by defeating the Freshman boys. This was the big feather in our hat for that year. The following year the Sophomores, in revenge for their disgraceful defeat in basketball, carved many a curve in our heads. Our heads took strange shapes. The only important work done this year was the carving up of numerous desks on the Freshman side of the assembly. The school year passed very slowly, as usual, but the following year proved much more interesting. A few of our boys took their places in the various lines of athletics. The girls also took their places in the various activities. Our class was also very ably represented in the many sections of music. One thing more of no little importance happened while we were Sophomores. This was the kind act that we extended the Juniors and Seniors — serving at the Junior- Senior banquet. This is always the job of the Sophomores and in agree- ment with the Seniors — I think that we did it nobly. The year of 1927-28 found us to be Juniors. Many of our boys took part in athletics and showed up more than before. On March 19, we put on the annual class play. This year the play was a huge success. The money that we receive for this is to be used to stage the Junior-Senior banquet. This year the banquet is going to be bigger and better than ever and will prove that the Juniors certainly know how to entertain. Now we are looking forward to our more than ever eventful Senior year.

Behold, ye haughty Juniors ! Look up, ye striving Freshmen ! To all others whom it may concern, Stop ! Observe ! and Consider ! About ten years ago there lived in the city of Montevideo, a large population. Among these people were those who were seeking for a precious white gem called knowledge. Thus it came about that one hundred or more enthusiastic small chil- dren entered the first grade. After the first two years we were triumphant as we thought we could easily find this gem but the end of each of the next few years found us a little less eager. Most of us tried to work hard the following years so as to reach the Junior High as quickly as possible. While in the Junior High we thought we had become quite superior to those in the lower grades, and acted so. We had, of course, our class picnics and parties which were greatly enjoyed by all. One thing which was of great interest to us was The Junior Globe which was read once every month. In the seventh grade we had an exceptionally well-developed girls ' basketball team which defeated the Freshman girls ' team for the first time in many years. Then came that wonderful day when we passed from the portals of the Junior High forever except for a few unfortunates who were left behind. Then one day in September, 1926, we fearfully climbed the three flights of stairs to that wonderful place, High School. We were now entering a place in our life which we had long admired. Yes, we did feel rather lost but also proud that we had at last begun High School. Of course, we were nothing compared to the upper classmen, as they thought. They did us as much injustice as was permitted and maybe more, for most of the boys seemed to be destined to be barbers. Year by year we are nearing the hidden treasure — the white gem of knowl- edge. In the remaining years of our High School life our aim is to do our best so when we leave High School the class of ' 30 will always be remembered as an industrious and brilliant group of students.

Many of these we would recognize as members of the present Fresh- man class. Of course we didn ' t know much then but hi diddle diddle and Little Bo-Peep, but we soon found out two and two make four, and c-a-t spells cat — and thereby passed to second grade. The red-letter day of this year was our par- ticipation in the May Festival held in Smith ' s Park. Next year some of us moved into the new Sibley School to continue our progress. That year and the next, Readin ' , ' Ritin ' , and ' Rithmetic absorbed our thoughts. The following term we took up our abode in Central School where there were no small children to annoy us — only larger ones for us to pester. In the sixth grade we showed our athletic ability by a basketball game between two girls ' teams of two rooms. The victorious team cheated, of course — according to the losers. The next year we were i n High School ; although it was only Junior High, it was, nevertheless, high school. The work was hard, but our courage was un- daunted. The monotony was broken by our annual picnic and party. Our talent in literature we made known by the editing of our scandal sheet, The Junior Globe. The girls had a glee club but the boys were more timid and even refused to try out. Under Miss Hamm ' s direction the girls won second place at the district con- test and furnished the musical part of a musical play, In Santa Claus ' Toy Shop, given by the Junior High. At the end of the term we bravely stood the fire of the final exams — although without much fire fighting apparatus in some cases, and came through with few casualties. Finally came the day that we alternately dreaded and hoped for. We must go to school — to HIGH SCHOOL — and enroll our names among those of the upper classmen. Slowly and with trembling knees we wended our way through the maze of halls to the large assembly. Here we green Frosh were made the objects of many jokes and jests of our would-be superiors. However, we were soon put at ease by the smiling Mr. Lawson. It seemed very strange to us that the Fresh- man boys should appear like shorn sheep when everything else was putting on more fur. After the usual blunders we at last accustomed ourselves to the High School routine and banded together to withstand the — seemingly to us — army of teachers. The Sophomores were very kind ( ?) and offered us much advice and many warn- ings, but when we refused these and showed them we were good sports through it all, they offered us that which we could not refuse — their friendship. The lowly eighth graders had risen to take their place in the great organiza- tion of the Montevideo High School. Band, orchestra, glee clubs, debate, basket- ball, and football teams claimed Freshmen. So now at the end of the first year we find ourselves entirely absorbed into High School activities, leaving room for the new eighth graders to come.

The department is open to anyone who has been graduated from High School and has the scholastic and personal standings. The work is arranged on a semester basis ; arithmetic methods, psychology, pedagogy, language and grammar, reading methods, penmanship, music, spelling, hygiene and nature study being given the first semester, and history, geography methods, rural school management and country life, agriculture, current events, music appreciation given the second semester. The students begin practice teaching about three weeks after the opening of school. It in- cludes group and room teaching in the rural schools of the county, and the teaching of a Be- ginners Class for nine weeks in the spring. There are sixteen members in the department under the able instruction of Miss Grace Rowell. This course gives one year of college credit in the College of Education in any Teachers ' College in Minnesota. The Students are required to give at least one year of service to the rural schools of the State. One year more in a Teachers ' College entitles the student to gradu- ation from the Advanced Course in the Teachers ' College. They are then granted two years ' credit in the College of Education in the University of Minnesota. Twice a month the T.T.D. social club meets, sometimes on social purposes and sometimes to study something worth while. Some of the activities of the Club this winter have been the study of well known operas and the entertaining of the parents of the students. The officers of the Class are: President, Helen Chariton; vice president, Alice Borgen- dale; secretary, Borghild Molde; treasurer, Mildred Stover; news reporter, Irene Christenson.

GRIDIRON STORIES Montevideo vs. Appleton Monte High opened its 1927 football season on September 28 after a week of hard training, against the strong Apple- ton gridders. The home team boasted of only five veteran players, and one of these, Captain Herb Saumer, was unable to play in the opening game because of injuries. The game proved to be quite interesting although it was characteristic of an opening game by the frequency of fumbling. Montevideo met defeat by a 6-0 score, Appleton having scored a touchdown in the last quarter. Montevideo vs. Madison The Monte boys decided that the first game on the home field should be to their credit, and as a result, defeated Madison High by one point, 7-6. In this game our new gridders seemed more accustomed to playing before a crowd, and showing their old fight, came back after Madison ' s touchdown and won the game. This vic- tory put the whole student body in a bet- ter frame of mind, and preparations were begun to defeat the heavy and confident Benson crew. PAGE FIFTY-ONE D. Jdi ' dicis ( ].J cdetsf YO Montevideo vs. Benson On October 7, the strong Benson eleven, with a line averaging 200 pounds, journeyed to Monte with the intense pur- pose of copping the game with ease. Ben- son ' s past games entitled her to be classed as one of the strongest high school teams in western Minnesota. Notwithstanding that fact, the Purple and Gold boys went out on the field and fought like they al- ways should fight, returning from the grounds with a well-earned 6-2 victory. This victory encouraged and enlightened not only the team and the school, but also ' the town as a whole. It dispelled all mis- givings of having an unsuccessful season. Monte vs. Ortonville The Purple journeyed to Ortonville on October 15 with a burning desire to re- venge our defeat at the hands of the lake dwellers in 1926. Playing more in a swamp than on a field, the locals were doomed for disappointment, and took the small end of a 20-0 count. In this game Clint Hanson, local right tackle, was knocked out, but recovered sufficiently to finish the game. PAGE FIFTY-TWO o Monte vs. St. Cloud On October 22 the invincible St. Cloud warriors entered our fair city expecting instead of playing a game of football to merely make it a practice game, but the holders of the state record for consecu- tive victories, twenty-two in number, re- ceived an unlooked-for surprise. The home team. after allowing their opponents to score a touchdown, settled down to real, fighting tactics and waged a real battle. St. Cloud won the game by a score of 15-6, but for some time their march to victory was uncertain and every step was met with difficulty. Monte vs. Alexandria The St. Cloud defeat was considered the turning point for the Purple and Gold gridders and on October 29 they met and defeated Alexandria on the latter ' s field with the decisive score of 14-0. In this game Fat Reynolds made the longest run of the season after intercepting a pass. The game was well played by both teams, and Sylv Saumer and Paulson starred continually with their baffling aerial attack, which was considered by many coaches to be the best passing com- bination in the state. PAGE FIFTY-THREE o F.Gr UTUAU Sdl Monte vs. Redwood Falls Monte High celebrated her third annu- al Homecoming Event November 5 with a special pep meeting in the assembly room in the forenoon, a beautiful float and costume parade and the football classic of the season with Redwood Falls in the afternoon, which game was won very handily by the Purple and Gold, as the score of 27-0 very clearly shows. The game, because of its one-sidedness, was rather dull and uninteresting, but, never- theless, the crowd that turned out to back Monte High was well satisfied and happy over the victory. Monte vs. Litchfield The last game of the season was played at Litchfield on Armistice Day. There were a number of factors which made the game anything but a pleasure, the wea- ther being unfavorable, and the field cov- ered with snow. The Monte men won the game 19-0, ending the season with fly- ing colors. The result of the eight games played this season shows a total of five victories and three defeats. At the an- nual football banquet, Hubert Hanson was elected grid captain for ' 28, and fans are looking forward to another successful season next fall. Z PAGE FIFTY-FOUR o FOOTBALL LETTERMEN Capt. Herb Saumer, ' 28 — Completed his second football season with honor, holding down the right wing position. He was an excellent tackier, offensive man and had the ability to cover punts as well as nail an occasional pass. Clint Hanson, ' 28 — As a tackle was one of the mainstays in the line, and proved himself to be a cool, heady, and hard fighting football man. Clint showed himself the pos- sessor of real grit at Ortonville by playing again after being completely knocked out. Doggy Johnson, ' 28— Not at a handicap for lack of weight and also proving himself a bul- wark of defense, was Doggy. He was also a terror on the offense. Opening holes in the opposing line was his delight and the opposing players probably remember him with respect. Huby Hanson, ' 29 — Captain-elect, was probably the outstanding lineman of the 1927 foot- ball team. He was always on his toes, and on the defense he broke through the oppos- ing line, causing many bad losses for the opponents. Harvard Sederstrcm, ' 28 — Was the lightest player in the line, but CD. showed what a little m an can do. He was a surprise to the opposition, refusing to allow many gains through his position, and in the Benson game he did not oppose a very small man. Fred Gunlaugson, ' 28 — Although reporting for practice late in the season, developed suffi- ciently to cop the left tackle berth. Fred is plenty large, and he showed the opposgion plenty of fight. Red Carruth, ' 30 — Proved himself to be a capable holder of the left wing position. Ray, as he is better known, was an able receiver of passes, and was fast on the covering of punts. Ray has two more years of High School Football before him, and should de- velop into being one of Monte ' s strongest ends. Carrol Wadsworth, ' 30 — ' Divided season ' s honors with Fred Gunlaugson as left tackle. Carrol will be back next year, and should develop into an excellent tackle. Sylv Saumer, ' 28 — Played equally well as quarter or halfback and that is putting it mildly. Sylv was the mainstay of the team, performing the punting, was a hard line plunger, fast open field runner, and a marvel at pass catching. Sylv was named quarterback on the second all-state team. Earl Paulson, ' 28 — Earl upheld the family honor and starred this season at halfback. Earl was a fast open field runner, but his main achievement was the ability to hurl passes with bullet-like accuracy. Earl and Sylv made a marvelous passing combination and showed up best in the latter part of the season. Fat Reynolds, ' 30 — Played his first season at fullback, and showed up very well. Fat, however, will not be back next year, having moved to Billings, Montana. Kermy Anderson, ' 31 — Was one of the backfield performers who has three more years to make a name for himself, and the Monte fans are looking forward to his next season. Kermy and Fat interchanged at the fullback position. Bill Andres, ' 31 — Played his first season at halfback, and although light, Bill was fast, one of the fastest men on the squad, and one of the fan ' s delights when in action. Bill is only a Freshman and we expect a lot of him in the coming years. PAGE FIFTY-FIVE o GIRLS ' INTERCLASS BASKETBALL Inlerclass basketball was treated differently this year than it has been the past years. The first game began with a victory for the Juniors over the Senior girls with a score of 16-6. The next game between the Sophomores and the Freshmen, was an easy game for the former, as they were much larger and had had more training and practice. They came out with a score of 26-3. The final clash was to prove who should be the champions. It was a real contest as each was determined to be victorious. Hard fighting was done by the Sophomores but it was in vain, the Juniors had successfully proven themselves interclass champions with a score of 22-5. BOYS ' INTERCLASS BASKETBALL A great deal of rivalry between classes always arises during the interclass basketball tourney. This year the tournament type of contest was carried out, shortening the number of games to three, the first of which took place between the Juniors and Seniors. The game was fast and rough, and the outcome very uncer- tain, but the Seniors managed to emerge victorious by an 11-10 score. The Sophomore-Freshman game next scheduled was a surprise to all when the Freshies upset the dope and vanquished the Sophs 12-7, allowing them the honor of playing the Seniors in the finals. The last game was a decided victory for the Seniors 19-6, but despite the difference in score the game was interesting. This victory gave the Class of ' 28 their first interclass championship which caused a great deal of enthusiasm among the Seniors. The game between the Frosh and 8th Graders did not take place this year for some reason but it is believed the Freshmen would have easily defeated their rivals.

Second row — Scott, Coach; Hanson, Andres, Anderson, Nemitz. GAMES The 1928 basketball season was begun on January 13 with a team consisting of only two regulars, the Saumer brothers. The home team won the opener, which was played with Granite Falls High School, by a 28-14 score in a loose, poorly played game. On January 20 the home team motored to Dawson where they met a classy bunch of cagers who easily took the large side of a 31-22 score. The home team showed a decided lack of teamwork, and were bewildered by the smooth Dawson offensive. Monte High met Granite Falls in the third game of the season which was played at the latter school. The game was very rough, and poorly played by both sides due mainly to the lack of floor space. The locals won the game by the small margin of two points, the score being 19-17. s — (n-MHs-aSC — Cf 3 - Z PAGE FIFTY-NINE The fast Wheaton cagers were the next to fall before the locals ' attack in a game which could not have been surpassed as a thriller. Two extra periods were required to bring the game to a successful close, and then only by a bare margin. The score was 10-9, and in this game the Monte team with a slightly new lineup showed speed and teamwork. The Madison High School basketeers were the next team to meet the locals, and in this game our team was considerably outclassed. The Madison five exhibited team work, speed, and rare basketball knowledge. The home boys could only ring up 5 points to their opponents ' 16. The home five journeyed to Clarkfield a week after the Madison encounter, slightly in an overconfident state of mind. The Clarkfielders after a very close con- test managed to chalk up 14 points to the locals 11. On January 31, the speedy little Appleton cagers met the locals at the Monte armory in a clean, fast game. The Appleton five seemed to have the ability of saving their reserve strength and after the first half chalked up enough points to amass a grand total of 24 to our 16. The return game with Dawson was played on February 7, at the local armory. The home cagers won by a 36-13 score. The Hancock quintet was the next to meet our local pnde, this game was a clean fast game, the outcome of which never was doubtful. The home quint led by a large margin until the last period when their opponents ran up a number ot scores allowing the home team to win by only two points— 18-16. On February 10 the team journeved to Ortonville where the local cagers waged a bitter battle only to lose by a 22-16 score. The score was tied 9-9 at the half and 12-12 at the third period, and the Lake dwellers rallied in the last quarter to cop the evening ' s honors. . From Ortonville the home boys went directly to Wheaton where m a fast con- test the Wheaton team managed to down the local cagers by a score of 14-9. On February 14 the Clarkfield team met the local basketeers at the armory, and in a closely contested game were forced to take the small end of a 25-22 score. On the 17th of February the home boys journeyed to Madison expecting a de- feat at the hands of their worthy opponents. Madison, deprived of the services of their center and star forward, was outplayed by the local quint. The final score was 15-3, and it is interesting to note that Madison did not score a field goal. Heartened by the Madison defeat the home boys entered Appleton with hopes of victory, but even the presence of the home Kiwanians could not turn the tide of the battle, ' and our team was snowed under by a 35-19 score. The last of the season ' s schedule was played at the Montevideo armory on February 24, with the fast Ortonville team, which won 28-14. The game was fast and interesting even though the score does not indicate it In the district tournament which was staged at the local armory, Appleton again copped the high honors. The results of the games were: Appleton 27, Clarkfield 17; Beardsley 17, Dawson 9; Madison 15, Monte 12; Ortonville 23, Wheaton 9. And then the semi-finals of the tournament: Appleton 39 Beardsley 17 • Madison 22, Ortonville 11. And the finals between the teams of Madison and Appleton resulted in a victory for Appleton with the score of 19-14. Appleton staged a last minute rally and won the tournament, only after Madison had out- played them for almost four entire periods. h PAGE SIXTY r Q = % GIRLS ' LETTERMEN Nora Jacobson — Captain and forward, has finished her basketball as she is a senior. She encouraged the girls between quarters and halves, which aided them considerably. Much is to be said of her playing. Jake played in 40 quarters, making on the average of 8.9 points per game. Salda Myhre — The Junior forward who has played in every game and has been a great headlight to the team. She played 40 quarters scoring on an aver- age of 13.5 points per game. Much is to be expected of her next year. Mildred Lofdahl — A new player for the Purple and Gold, played very fast bas- ketball and she is to be highly lauded for her speed. She played in 28 quarters. Mimi will be back, and watch her go. Ethel Dvergsten — Is a new girl on the team and also in this schoo l. She is a capable forward, playing as a sub. Dvergie played in 12 quarters. Tryphine Hemstad — The only Senior guard, who in each game, played with set determination. Through her playing they accomplished a great deal. Tryph played in 34 quarters. The team is losing an excellent guard. Helen Himley — The guard that gave the team its hope. Her clean guarding can ' t be beat. Much is to be said of her. Himley played in 38 quarters. She is a Junior and will be back next year. Dorothy McHugh — The Irish in her is shown to a great extent in her playing. She played hard in every game. Irish played in 38 quarters. She will be back next year with her old fighting spirit. Furges Lynch — A substitute Junior guard, who was always ready on deck to take up the work when other players went out. She is a dand y guard and she ' ll be back next year. Furg played in 13 quarters throughout the sea- son. We will expect big things from her next season. S PAGE SIXTY-ONE r Q::= % o BOYS ' B.B. LETTERMEN OF 1928 Capt. Sylv Saumer, ' 28 — Playing either forward or center, experienced in the past season his first season as a basketball regular. Sylv was a consistent basket shooter, and a very fast man on the floor. Herb Saumer, ' 28 — Played a good game at either guard or forward, and always showed up well. Herb could be depended on to go in and fight and always contributed his share towards victory. Myles Mace, ' 29 — Although not very large, proved to be an excellent forward whose favorite play was a short shot in under the basket. Macey will re- turn next year to represent Monte High another season. Vince Palmer, ' 30 — Played regularly at forward, and demonstrated that size does not make a basketball player. Vince was fast and played in a man- ner that was a constant delight to the fans. Earl Paulson, ' 28 — Also played his first year at basketball, holding down a guard position. Paulson possessed considerable skill as a basket shooter as well as being a very dependable guard. Bill Andres, ' 31 — The only substitute to gain his letter, was very fast and was a dependable forward, having the ability to get into the game at a tight moment and not blow up. s -—a ln-MH5-3tS S - PAGE SIXTY-TWO KlP IP % , First row — Himle, McHugh, Myhre, Jacobson, Captain; Lofdahl, Lynch.

GIRLS ' BASKETBALL The sextet that held up the athletics in Monte High should be highly compli- mented for their good work. They romped through the season without defeat. The beginning game at Dawson was barely won by a one point margin, al- though fighting was at its utmost. Little shall be said about the Renville-Mor.tevideo game as the teams were not very evenly matched, our girls far out-playing them. The next game was played on our home floor with another victory from Madison. £ S=fP Z PAGE SIXTY-THREE The sextet then journeyed to Clarkfield playing, however, a poor grade of basketball but came to the top for the fourth time. The return game from Dawson proved the invincibility of our girls. The hardest and perhaps the best game was played at Ortonville, the school that has always wanted to win District Championship. They received their first defeat of their season at this game. Clarkfield and Madison again in turn met defeat at the hands of our invulner- able six. Ortonville came with determination to conquer, but failed. On the eve of March 3, Ortonville came back for another defeat in the tourna- ment which proved that the supporters of the Purple and Gold were entitled to the Tenth District Championship. The team as a whole owes due respect and honor to Miss Johansen, our chaperone, and to Mr. Scott, our coach. — Nora Jacobson. PAGE SIXTY-FOUR C r TRACK ' 27 AND ' 28 Owing to insufficient data the available news on the Track activities of the ' 27 and ' 28 track teams is very brief. . Last year according to custom the track squad was divided into four teams, captained by the veterans of former years which were: ' Stub Erickson, Hod Thornton, Cliff Borene and ' ' Cliff Agnew, whose teams participated in a small meet, held at the local fair grounds in the early part of the season. This meet was very closely contested and the rivalry be- tween teams became very intense. Erickson ' s team won out in this meet, and was entitled to the feed which was financed by the individual contribution of 25 cents from each membor on the track squad. The second meet of the season was the District Meet which was held at the local fair grounds. Five schools participated. They were Montevideo, Madison, Browns Valley, Dawson, and Clarkfield. The meet, however, was not very closely contested, Monte managing to capture most of the firsts and seconds. The surprise of this contest was ' ' Hod Thornton ' s defeat at the hands of his Madison opponent. The locals took first in the javelin, broad jump, high hurdles, shot, discus and pole vault. At the Carleton meet, which is looked forward to with great interest each year, Monte was well represented, Hod taking one second and one third. Stub managed to top first place in the javelin throw, and Agnew and Borene both placed. In the state meet, the fourth of the season, held at Minneapolis, Hod placed second in the 220 and first in the 100. Stub placed second in the javelin and Agnew got a fourth in the 440. The last meet of the season was held at Marshall, and here the Monte track- sters broke a number of records of which no data has been kept, making an account of the event impossible. The track squad for ' 28 consists of thirty-four members, the captains of which are Herb Saumer, Clinton Hanson, and Sylvan Saumer. The team this year, we hope, will represent Mo nte with the same success as former locals have been able to attain. Practice is now in full swing, preparation being made for five meets this year which are : A big and little meet here, the district meet here May 12, the State U meet May 19, and a meet at Marshall, scheduled for May 26.

Kmini ' t iLT ONCE IN A BLUE MOON The Boys ' and Girls ' Glee Clubs of the Montevideo High School were cast in the producing of the operetta Once in a Blue Moon. which, under the direction and leadership of Miss Hamm, music instructor of the schools, was a tremendous success. The operetta was staged before a capacity house that much enjoyed the local musical talent. It has been stated by local critics that this year ' s operetta was the very best one that has ever been given by the Montevideo High School Glee Clubs. It was staged only after weeks of tedious work and monotonous practice. Those taking part in the production deserve no end of credit along with their leader, Miss Hamm. z PAGE SIXTY-NINE First row — Eckwall, Aaronson, Erickson.

HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA The High School Orchestra, an organization formed last year, is one which should receive recognition. The organization was formed under the direction of Miss Hamm, and entered the contest held at Monte May 5. This year the group of musicians consists of twenty in number, playing vio- lins, trumpets, clarinets, trombone, flute, alto horns, and drum. The result of the combination of these instruments is harmony. Miss Hamm should be commended for the success of her efforts in this line of work. At ' High School pep meetings, High School affairs in the Opera House, and many other places, the Orchestra has presented to the public the very best musical talent in the Monte High School. Many members will graduate this year, but we hope to see new ones join next fall and wish the 1929 Orchestra the best of success in all its endeavors.

Although graduation claimed a large number of last year ' s organization, new members very ably filled the vacancies and work went on as before. The Glee Club, under the leadership of Miss Hamm, appeared before the students and general public in the High School Assembly a number of times throughout the school year, and, without exception, was very well received. Miss Hamm went a step further from the ordinary Glee Club organization, and formed a quartet, which, singing popular numbers, appeared in the assembly time and time again throughout the year. Some of the favorite selections of the boys are: Song of Western Men by Protheral, Massa Dear by Dvorak, In Jungle Land by Wilson, and the contest piece for this year, Duna by McGill-Selter. pace seventy-one GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB President— Helen Linnee Vice President— Wilhelmina Mason Secretary-Treasurer — Climene Thomas The student body of the Montevideo High School and the people of Montevideo have enjoyed and appreciated the splendid work achieved by the Girls ' Glee Club of our school. Miss Hamm has, only after much difficult practice, turned out one of the finest Girls ' organi- zations of its kind in this part of Minnesota. The formal appearance of the girls before the public at various times during the year certainly made a big hit with their audiences, and their singing was, of course, very enjoyable. The Gl ee Club consists of a large number of underclassmen and, because of that fact, Montevideo can expect much from it next year. Some of the favorite songs are: Pale Moon by Logan, Murmuring Zephyrs by Jen- sen. Rockin ' Time by Rhys-Herbert, and the contest piece A Happy Song by Pike.

The different members of the cast were compelled to learn their lines and the acting in very short time, as the play was not received by Miss Wilmers until late in April.

This year, the state debating league chose a different system, and each school in the district was allowed to debate the other schools of the same district. Then the school winning the most debates was acclaimed the district champion. Schools entered in the debating contests of our district were : Benson, who, unable to select a team defaulted to the other schools, Willmar, Renville, and Montevideo. Mr. Lawson, local debate coach, organized two distinct debate teams, one upholding the negative and the other the affirmative of the question: Resolved, That the United States Should Construct an All-American Ship Canal Rather Than Co-operate with Canada in De- veloping the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Waterway. The two debating teams, with their coach, Mr. Lawson, deserve no end of credit for their work in debate for this season. tfC Jp c l iK M. Hl.IASON U. Olson H. BORGENDALE DECLAMATORY WORK After a series of elimination tryouts, Udell Olson was chosen to represent Montevideo in the oratorical division at the sub-district contest at Renville, Mar- garet Eliason in dramatics, and Helen Borgendale in the humorous section. A rather surprising result of the sub-district contest gave Monte High three first places, and the team then prepared for the district meet at Litchfield. Eight schools coming from different sections of the state were entered in the district meet. Monte High was rather unsuccessful at this meet, Udell winning second place. Margaret a second, and Helen a third. Although these three speakers did not win the district laurels, they certainly should be commended on their wonderful showing at both the sub-district and the district contests. Helen and Margaret will be back next year to uphold Monte High and we can expect big things from them. Of course the team would have been helpless without coaches, and due credit should be extended to Miss Ryan, Miss Steen, and Mr. Lawson for the polish that they put on these three speakers. —a PAGE SEVENTY-SEVEN e fU lK- AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT Motto: Science with Practice The Agricultural Department of the Montevideo Schools is State and Federal aided. It presents a course in nature study to the Eighth Grade boys through the study of animal and plant life. Girls expecting to take Teachers ' Training work are given a general course; one half of the time devoted to lecture and study; the other half to practical farm laboratory work. High School boys may take three years of Agricultural work, namely Agriculture I, II, and III. The subjects selected generally deal with the major projects on their own farm or with their home. Some choose special subjects they intend to follow for their life ' s work or specialize in when they take up higher education. All do supervised summer practice work in one or more of their corresponding subjects. Throughout the year class trips are made to different farms and industries ; state contests are held for those who specialize in general livestock judging, dairy judging, milk judging, meat identification, and demonstrations. The farmers ' short course, the Boys and Girls Wide Awake Club, and The Clubs Encamp- ment are closely connected with this departure. All farm boys entering High School or town or farm boys who wish to specialize in any line of agricultural work are encouraged to enroll in this department. Your course is arranged for your individual needs and interests. h PAGE SEVENTY-EIGHT T).J..SUt. L . SUt. JTleJ l lntct Lt Ljut The economic aim while definite is not exclusive.

The organization in mind is none other than the School Board of District Number 1. Composed of residents of Montevideo, the Board has for its duty the governing of the public schools which are located in Montevideo. The members of the School Board work twelve months each year for the schools without remuneration. The student body acknowledges with grateful ap- preciation all the work that the Board so willingly does for them. The success of the schools of the district has depended upon the decisions of the School Board, composed of the following members : Dr. L. G. Smith, Presi- dent; Mr. J. B. Tomhave, Clerk; Mr. L. E. Campbell, Treasurer; Mr. O. S. Wil- son, Director ; Mrs. J. W. Evans, Director ; Mrs. C. A. Fosnes, Director. Throughout the year these Board members give freely of their time and en- ergy to the problem of securing a first-class, up-to-date school at the least expense to the taxpayers whom they represent. ' THREE SPRINGS The Girls ' Glee Club of the Montevideo High School, under the direction of Miss Hamm, staged the Cantata ' Three Springs in the Opera House. It was very well received. The Club members, capable of making the elective chorus, consti- tuted the Cantata. Along with the very charming groups that appeared in this production, the Junior High School Harmonica Band also rendered a delightful evening of entertainment. We hope that the success of this Cantata will create an interest in similar ones in the future. mK PAGE EIGHTY ♦VlS A • y HI K At f ' tf T AMICITIA The Amicitia resumed its activities under the leadership of Miss Smedberg for its third successive year. Officers were elected and Bernice Marholz, as presi- dent, took charge. Hikes and picnics were enjoyed throughout the year and each class took charge in entertaining the other members in the High School gym- nasium. The organization aims to develop the four sides of life : Physical, mental, so- cial, and religious. For the purpose of developing these characteristics to the or- ganization, those acquiring 200 points by the end of the school term were awarded letters at a banquet sponsored by all members and Miss Cowles, who took over the organization at the beginning of the second semester. Next year the Class of ' 31 will be admitted to the organization to replace the departing Senior members. It is only fitting and proper that the graduating members hope to see the or- ganization grow and improve as the years roll by. If the same trend of progress is shown in the coming years as has been shown in the three years of the Amicitia ' s existence in Monte High that have been completed, then future members may look forward to a wonderfully organized society. h =5 5= @ PAGE EIGHTY-ONE hS t 9 G f K , ALUMNI OF ' 27 Clifford Agnew — Working in Monte.

Keep in line even if the tail of your coat is afire, you cannot get any farther away from it by running. 3. An earnest request is made to the student body in general not to stop to get their books when the alarm sounds. They aren ' t worth the trouble. 4. Anybody catching fire will be immediately put out. 5. Any person who smells smoke, or sees fire in the building, (excluding fur- naces) is requested to report at either the superintendent ' s office or that of the principal. Failing to find them at their respective offices, students may be seated until they come. If you imagine you see a gleam of fire anywhere, look twice to see if it be not a brilliant tie, or some other fad which seems to burn hard. What kind of a mistake is it when a man is buried alive?
