IN THE COURSE OF THAT PURPOSE, WE HOPE MANY HAPPY DAYS WILL COME INTO THE VIEW OF OUR MIRROR, FOR IT IS WELL FOR YOUTH TO REMEMBER ITS HEYDAY OF JOY; BUT WE WISH ALSO TO PRESENT A FAIR PICTURE OF THE WORK AND THE STRIVING THAT GO TO MAKE UP THE YEAR. BECAUSE IT SEEMED MOST FITTING FOR OUR PUR- POSE, WE HAVE SOUGHT TO ADD A COMMENTARY TO OUR PAGES, ANNO- TATING THEM. AS IT WERE, BY ADOPT- ING A CLASSICAL THEME IN THE SET- TING. WE FEEL IT PROPER, BECAUSE, IN A SENSE, THE CLASSICAL IDEAL HAS NEVER BEEN SUPPLANTED AS THE GOAL OF A WELL-ORDERED UB- ERAL ARTS EDUCATION.

I sat musing over the past events which had taken place in this renowned setting, when up from the ruins appeared a messenger clad in a Roman toga, and after handing me a scroll, he disappeared as mysteriously as he had come. Consumed with curiosity, I broke the seal. As I unrolled the script the faint characters were hardly discernible, but upon close scrutiny I was able to read it. With my faint smattering of Latin I translated it thus — This is the History of the Senior Class of the Montevideo High School of Chippewa County, in the State of Minnesota, in the United States of America. On September third, nineteen hundred and seventeen, the members of afore- said class enrolled in first grade. Nothing notable happened until we were in Junior High School, where our talent was first shown in the successful production of the operetta Cinderella. The Junior Globes gave our budding literary geniuses a chance for display. It was here the basketball players made their first marks on their famous records. When we entered the Senior High School as Freshmen, the boys were initiat- ed in the usual way. Some of our members took part in the first High School band. This was organized shortly before Christmas. The outstanding event that occurred during our Sophomore year was the girls ' winning of the interclass championship, which title they have kept the re- maining years. The float for Home-coming day captured first prize. The presentation of the class play, His Majesty Bunker Bean, was a re- markable success. We expended a great deal of thought and labor upon the Junior-Senior Banquet, but the obvious pleasure of the Seniors made it well worth while. Our Senior Class has been more than fairly represented in forensics, musical organizations, and athletics. The class average has been very high as may be seen by the honor roll. This year the music contest will again be held here and we are hoping that we shall be as successful as formerly. Although the Senior Class play has not yet been staged, we are confident it will prove successful as have all our undertakings. We are looking forward with great anticipation to the time when we shall have obtained sufficient training to enable us to go forth into the world as repre- sentatives of Monte High. Our thoughts will often go back to the many happy days we spent here. Having completed the translation of the antiquated manuscript I sat recalling pleasant memories of school life. Suddenly the sky was rent with peal after peal of rolling thunder. Lightning flashed vividly, casting weird, uncanny lights about the old ruin. The wind came down with sudden furv and swept the fragile script in its mad whirl and chase. A sudden flash of lightning illuminated the scene, and as I gazed in wonderment, I saw the script tossed about by the violence of the wind, crumbled into frag- ments and scattered far and wide. The storm ceased and I emerged from my place of seclusion upon a scene of splendor. The odor of the wet earth drew my attention to the freshness of the rain-washed world and as I took a parting glance, I saw the Coliseum framed in a halo of light. The rainbow was a trail of glory, and at its end had a pot of gold symbolizing the success and happiness of the class of ' 29. Page thirty-three CLASS PROPHECY Peanut Butter Town, Sandwich Island, November 3 The Black Witch, an exclusive sandwich shop was opened here on Hallow- e ' en. Miss Severens is the originator of the delicious delicacy, the Black Witch Sandwich, and proprietor of the shop. Although having been opened for a very short time its fame has been spread far and near. So far, in fact, that Cliffy Brown, King of the Cannibal Isles and some of his subjects made a flying trip to make her fame complete by his much esteemed verdict on food. Morris, Minn, August, 1929 We regret to inform our readers that the once promising and brilliant student, Jack W ' estfall, failed completely in his entrance examinations for admission to the Agricultural School of Morris, Minnesota.

Mexico City, December 27, 1937 The new Emperor of Mexico, Herbert Meyenburg. held a hilarious jubilee Christmas Eve for the Mexican peasants.

The people are devoted to him and his every wish is made a reality. Athens, Greece, August 19, 1933 Miss Eleanor Rogne, an American, has conquered the Mediterranean Sea.

February 29, 1 936 The natives of Morocco were highly elated by the performance of the mem- bers of the French Foreign Legion, which is stationed here.

Flight from Port Arthur Fails Montevideo. Minn.. September 30, 1930 Another non-stop flight from the center of the United States to Port Arthur, Manchuria, has failed.

They gradually ascended the steps of education and when they were in the fifth grade, took part in the May Day festival. Upon entering the Junior High School they defeated the Freshmen in basket- ball for the first time in many years. The Junior Globe also held their interest. Free hair cuts were generously handed out to them by the lofty Sophomores. This was one of the ways in which they were initiated into High School. The basketball team again made a good showing, and although not fully developed, some members were destined to become stars. During their three years of High School they have had a very good represen- tation on the honor roll, in all musical organizations, and athletics. This year the Junior class has been outstanding in many ways. The boys won the interclass basketball championship both in the A and B divisions. The presentation of the class play, A Lucky Break, was one of the most entertaining features of the year. The operetta also brought out their talent as four members were cast as prin- cipals and many members of the chorus and orchestra were also Juniors. Another big enterprise they will back is the Junior-Senior banquet and we are sure it will be a success. We of the Senior class expect you, the Juniors, to carry on the work ' which we thus far have so nobly advanced. Page forty-two 1 lie OoBJa e oopiioinnoFes Page forty-three CLASS ROLL Adamson, R. V.

When they had become accustomed to school rules and work, the years passed quickly with such events as Hallowe ' en parties, Christmas programs, Valentine ' s Day, and picnic. In this way the years glided on with their usual toil and happi- ness. And then they entered the Junior High. For two unforgetable years they were trained and systemized until our orderly line piassings would have done credit to the graduating class of West Point. Miss Hamm established the first Junior High School girls ' glee club. It proved to be a huge success, taking second place at the district contest and bearing oflf high honors in the musical play presented by the Junior High. Then came the final exams and their Junior High careers were brought to a close. The summer sped by on wings and almost before they knew it, the school bell again pealed forth its hearty summons. With sinking hearts and wobbly knees, the class of ' 31 entered that far famed institution, the High School. Their boys resembled a group of criminals fresh from Sing Sing, with their closely cropped heads and sheepish expressions on their faces. Members of the class had already distinguished themselves in football, bas- ketball, orchestra, band, debate, and the glee club. Thus far in High School they have been successful, and we expect more from them in the future.

The first two years passed rapidly with the usual round of work and play. During their stay in third grade they took part in their first big enterprise, the May Fete. Representatives from all of the grades up to the Junior High School participated in this event. Several new musical organizations were formed when this class stepped into the Junior High, the harmonica band, the boy ' s glee club, and the mixed chorus. The girls ' glee club had been previously organized. The harmonica band and glee clubs took part in the presentation of the operetta, Tad ' s Inspiration, which was given in the spring of 1928. There were baseball tournaments for both boys and girls. Teams were formed with captains at the head of each. Basketball was played during the winter months. Since they entered High School they have made a ver - good showing in many activities. Members have participated in basketball, glee clubs, mixed chorus, band, orchestra, debate, and both humorous and dramatic sections of declamation. The two rooter queens that were chosen are both members of the Freshman class. As they march their remaining years through High School they will continue with success. The school expects much of them. Page fifty TL e 1 eaclier ' s 1 Fainin; JUeptEo Page Afty-one •-v HAZEL I. ANDERSON HELEN BREVIC SELMA V. ENGEL BERN CE A. FRUIN GLADYS HACKER CLARA B.

WOOLERY Page fifty-three TEACHER ' S TRAINING In the spring of 1912 the Teacher ' s Training Department of Montevideo graduated its first class of ten girls prepared for teaching in the rural schools. The department was then known as the Normal Department. At that time the entrance requirements were much lower than now though higher than they had been at one time. Now a girl or boy must meet several requirements, two of which are that the applicant must rank in his or her graduating class in the upper two quarters, and must have completed the high school course within four years. Of that first graduating class six are married, one is working in the Court House, one is in Dr. Smith ' s office, one is staying at home and one, Miss LuElla Watson, is the County Superintendent of Chippewa County. This Normal Department, for the last several years known as the Teacher ' s Training Department, has graduated eighteen classes, in all two hundred thirty- eight students. Two girls who started with us last September have dropped by the way. Hazelle Gallagher decided she was never meant to teach the young mind how to shoot, so left school after her second day of practice teaching. Selma Engel was ill and so obliged to drop her school work for the present. We miss her very much, but are glad she plans to return the middle of next year, to finish her course. We also miss having any boys in the department this year to drive nails, carry lunch baskets, and build fires. The Neighbors, by Zona Gale, was given by the Training Department, coached by Miss Rowell. All who attended were pleased with the performance, as the many hearty laughs of the audience gave proof. The following is the cast of characters : Mrs. Abel Florence Sumner Inez, Mrs. Abel ' s daughter . . . Harriett Woolery Mrs. Moran, a neighbor Gl. dys Hacker Mrs. Trot, a neighbor Clarice Thomton Ezra Williams, a neighbor Anne Suter Peter, in love with Inez Walter Axness Zeke Adams, a neighbor Carlton Heinold Mrs. Ellsworth, a widow Hazel Anderson We are indebted to Mr. Brown of the High School faculty for writing in the character of Zeke Adams, which added much to the play. The T.T.D. girls club has spent most of the year studying the lives and music of the Eighteenth Century. Nearly every program has ended in group singing by the girls of the familiar songs. The one big event of the T.T.D. was the banquet given for the parents of the students of the department with Superintendent and Mrs. Pederson as honorary guests. Page fifty-four Agricuilf uiFal JU e B a FtEiML e nf Page fifty-Uve AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT Boys in the Montevideo High School may take one or two or three years of Agricultural work. A few boys are given special subjects such as electric engineer- ing, forestry, or landscape gardening which they intend to do for their life ' s work or take up in higher education. But the home or farm is used as an im- portant basis for determining the problems for study for most boys. With this boy education is not a preparation for life — education is life. A genuine educa- tion is not something that can be forced upon a learner; it is something that is achieved through the activity of the learner. All must do summer practice work in one or more of their corresponding subjects under supervision. The girls in High School expecting to take teacher ' s training work are given a general course in Agriculture in the form of lectures, studies, practical form laboratory, and teaching practice. The eighth grade boys are given one semester of work in nature study with the purpose of arousing their interest in plants and animals. The Boys and Girls Wide Awake Club, the Club Encampment, Short Courses, and the Boy Scouts are closely connected with this department. Interesting class trips are made to different farms and industries; state con- tests are held for those who are interested in livestock judging; demonstrations in all subjects are encouraged. ■ We wish to meet your individual needs and interest — and advise all to enroll in the department for any subjects dealing with agriculture.

The teams were evenly matched although the Monte team had the edge on their opponents during the first and third quarters. The game was played under a hot sun and both teams passed up several chances to score. It was generally agreed that the green Monte team showed great promise. The following Friday took the team to Benson. The up-state team was said to have a line average of 190 pounds and a fast, light backfield. The Benson game was an exciting affair. Montevideo had a decided advantage in punting. Neither team was successful in passes, but Benson was superior in ball handling, a superi- ority that gave them the edge. Benson scored one touchdown on a twelve }-ard run which resulted in a final score of 6-0. The first home game was played with the strong Ortonville team. Monte had the advantage in the first part but Ortonville threw a long pass from deep in our territory which caught the second line defense asleep and enabled Ortonville to score. The other score was the result of an intercepted pass. Score 13-0. The St. Cloud game came on the following Friday. This is always one of the most anticipated events of the football season and in this game the Monte rooters were not disappointed. Although the Monte team had been doped to lose by a large score they surprised their followers and St. Cloud by losing only 12-0, one touchdown being the result of a blocked kick. Monte played a good game. The next three scheduled games were not played because our opponents feared the results — of the diptheria epidemic which was holding sway in town at the time. The games were : Alexandria, Oct. 27 ; Redwood, Nov. 3 ; and Appleton, Nov. 10. In place of the Alexandria game the Purple and Gold played the All Stars, a team composed of ex-university and college men and Monte High grads. The High School team showed great power in the game, holding the All Stars scoreless while making two touchdowns themselves. The prospects for next year are verj- bright as only three letter men out of fourteen will be lost to the team. Besides the eleven remaining letter men, there are 15 or 20 others capable of first squad positions. Page sixty Page sixty-one COACH WASCATT Coach Wasgatt came to Monte when the ath- letic barometer was rather low. A number of things — injuries, a hard schedule and a diptheria epidemic — combined to make a not particularly successful football season. The basketball record was more impressive, showing ten games won out of fourteen. To start the track season. Monte ' s team took a first in the Minnesota Relays. Coach Wasgatt has the respect and confidence of his men. COACH LAN N INC During the past year Coach Lanning has filled a position where little or no recognition is re- ceived. It falls to the lot of the assistant coach to keep the scrubs interested enough to come out night after night and get battered around by the first team. ■ This in itself is no mean job. Be- sides coaching the basketball B team, he took the girls team in the middle of the season and coached it to the district championship. LET TERM EN Wadsworth, ' 30 Captain-elect for next year. Wady played his second year at tackle posi- tion. Although he suffered an injury during the summer months, nevertheless he was able to play a bang-up game. Snowden, ' 32 A freshman regular who in mid season was switched from a tackle position to a fullback, where he showed great power in off-tackle drives. ■ ' Howie also has good possibilities as a punter. Page sixty-two Hanson, ' 29 — Captain Played at a center position. He has the distinc- tion of playing- every minute of each game and also of placing center on some West Central selections. Canton, ' 31 The pride of Watson made his first attempt at football this year and earned a position as regular tackle. Earl was especially skillful in the use of his hands and will be a valuable asset to next year ' s team. Palmer, ' 30 A halfback who won his first letter the past sea- son. Vince ' has a brilliant future as a passer ahead of him if he keeps on going. Meyenburg, ' 29 A Senior who won his first. letter in the past season. He was groomed as an understudy to Captain Hanson but when given a chance at guard in the St. Cloud game proved himself worthy of a regular. WiK, ' 29 Another Senior who won his first letter playing at end. He received honorable mention in the West Central High School selections and was the outstanding player in the St. Cloud game. Bjorndahl, ' 3 1 Playing at guard position for his first year, de- veloped into an effective dependable player who will be of great value to the team next year. Page sixty-three Adamson, ' 31 Another first year man who played tackle and end on diflferent occasions. He was a very valu- able man to have on the sqnad because of his abil- ity to play several different positions. Andres, ' 31 A sophomore who won his second letter play- ing at halfback position and at times called sig- nals. Bill is especially noted for his speed on the field. OSTRANDER, ' 30 Earned his first letter playing at a guard posi- tion. Ronnie is a real student of the game and we expect a lot of him next year. Larson, ' 30 Won his first letter, playing either end or half- back. Leroy ' s specialty was forward passes, and he also was a good defensive man. Mace, ' 29 Another second letter man who will be lost to the team next year because of graduation. Myles was a dependable kicker and passer. Anderson, ' 31 Another second letter man who devoted most of his time to hitting the line from a fullback position. Kermie has proved himself a fighter who never gives up. Page sixty-four BOYS ' BASKETBALL The first game of the 1928-29 season was played on December 14 with Gran- ite. The contest was close in the first half but then Granite ' s defense went to pieces. The game ended with Monte on the long end of a 30-16 score. Captain Mace showed good leadership in the opening game. On December 21 Monte was defeated by Madison by a 24-11 score. The first quarter was played on even terms but Madison ' s passing was too effective for the locals and Monte had no chance in the next three quarters. Ortonville journeyed here on January 11 and departed a sadder but wiser team. The home cagers at first played poor ball, but in the last half showed un- usual teamwork and nosed out the lake team by a 19-16 score. Dawson was the next victim. This game was a nip and tuck affair with Monte first taking the lead and then Dawson. In the last quarter Dawson led with the score 22-21 but Monte tied and then dropped in three field goals. On January 18 Hancock visited Monte for their annual frolic. A clever pass attack enabled the locals to pile up a 11-0 score at the end of the first quarter. The second string played the last quarter and showed up very well by bringing the game to a 28-18 close in our favor. Clarkfield was Monte ' s fifth victim and this was also the fourth consecutive victory. The visiting team was held to four field goals and a free throw while the local five piled up 24 points. Madison journeyed to Monte on January 29 and showed the local fans the best game seen here this season. Monte trailed for three quarters and tied in the fourth but couldn ' t come back when Madison sank two longs and a short. The final score was 24-18. Page sixty-Ave Monte next took Ortonville to camp by a 26-20 score. The game was played at Ortonville and was a speedy and hard fought battle. From Ortonville the team went directly to Wheaton and only accuracy in free throws won the game for Monte. The fray ended in an 18-16 score. February 8 Appleton defeated the home team. The game was played in the local armory and the visiting team held the lead throughout the whole period. The final score was 32-26. The home five celebrated Lincoln ' s birthday by downing Clarkfield 16-9. This was Clarkfield ' s second defeat by the local cagers. February 15 Wheaton visited Monte to get revenge, but they were sadly dis- appointed. The game was fast and furious but the Monte five emerged on the long end of a 25-20 score. The final game of the season was played at Appleton. They won by a 29-14 score. The first three quarters the scoring was close but the last period Appleton went wild. The tournament was held at Dawson and was won by them. Montevideo was eliminated by Ortonville, a team that had been twice defeated by Monte. LETTERMEN Myles Mace, ' 29 — Captain Playing guard and forward. He was always alert and a dead shot on longs. Mace played a good game and lead his team through a successful season. William Andres, ' 32 This was his first season as a regular but he won his second letter in basket- ball. Bill was good on shots but he starred at passing. Kermit Anderson, ' 3 1 Andrew proved an excellent guard and w ill be back next year to do his stuflf for Monte. Earl Canton, ' 30 Earl hailed from Watson, this being his first year at Montevideo. He played at guard and we expect a lot of him next year. Vincent Palmer, ' 30 What Vince lacks in height he makes up in speed. He is fast on his feet and a sure shot from all angles. Howard Snowden, ' 32 Howy won his first letter, playing at center. He played a good game and is rated as one of the best centers of the district. Verdie Paulson, ' 31 Verdie was a fast, clever forward who could always be depended upon. He will be back next year. Jack Weisbrod, ' 3 1 Jack will also be back next year. He was not a flashy player but one who could always be called upon in a pinch. Page sixty-six BOYS ' INTERCLASS BASKETBALL Interclass competition was given more attention this year than has been the custom in the past. There were two tournaments between the classes, the first be- ing held before the regular varsity season opened. The other was considerably longer and gave all teams an equal chance. There were five teams, rejjresenting the high school classes and the Junior High. Play was conducted through a double-round-robin tournament, each team playing all the others twice. It was planned to match the winner of the first round of play against the winner of the second round to determine the championship but this was not necessary as the Seniors won both rounds with straight victories. Tourney play began soon after the start of the high school season, and all who were not members of the varsity or reserve squads were eligible for positions on the teams. In the opening set, the Sophomores nosed out the Frosh 24 to 20 in an overtime game, and the Seniors squelched the Juniors 26 to 4. The next games saw the Junior High in action, and although beaten 21 to 11 by the Seniors they put up a good fight. The Juniors came back strong to defeat the Sophs 14 to 12. In the third series the Seniors downed the Sophomores 15 to 8, and the Junior High defeated the Frosh by a 5 to 2 score. The next two games gave the fans some thrills. By a score of 14 to 12 the Freshmen took the Juniors into camp, and the Sophomores eked out an 11 to 10 victory over the Junior High. The stand- ings at the end of the first round were : Seniors first. Sophomores and Juniors tied for second, and the Juniors and Freshmen sharing the cellar. The games of the second round were postponed until after the varsity season was over, and then hurried through prior to track season. The scores for this round were as follows: Seniors 28, Juniors 11 ; Sophomores 12, Frosh 9; Seniors 24, Junior High 14; Juniors 14, Sophs 8; Seniors 14, Sophomores 7; Junior High 11, Frosh 8; Frosh 19, Juniors 16; Junior High 21, Sophomores 17; Seniors 19, Freshmen 17; Junior High 22,. Juniors 18. The standings for the second round: Seniors first. Junior High second, and the Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen tied for last place. The Seniors were thus interclass champs, and also high point team, totalling 174 points or an average of about 22 per game. At one time they were forced to start the game with only three men, but they came across with a victory although it was necessary to play overtime to do so. Hard work and good coaching were responsible for the graduating team ' s excellent showing. The tournament showed that not all the good basketball material was on the varsity and reserve squads. Most of the games were very well played and it is regrettable that they were not better attended. It is hoped that next year interclass basketball will be strongly supported, as it is an activity well worth the attention of the student body. TRACK Last spring the call for trackmen was not met with the usual enthusiasm. The only outstanding performer of the season was Sylvan Saumer. Sylv broke the state record for shot put and ranked high in other events. This year things are diflferent. A large squad turned out in answer to Coach Wasgatt ' s summons early this spring. At the time the annual goes to press, plans are under way for a varied assortment of competitive events. Monte athletes will probably compete in an interclass meet, some dual meets, a district, regional, and state meet, and the different invitational meets. With the abundance of material available at present, Monte High should make a very creditable showing this year. Page sixty-seven GIRLS ' BASKETBALL The Monte girls opened their basketball season on December 21 by taking Madison into camp. The locals ' playing was ragged the first half and Madison had an edge but Monte recovered and nosed out as victors. The final score was 12-10. On January 11 the home sextet played Ortonville. Monte came on the short end of an 18-32 score due to the close guarding and excellent teamwork shown by the Lake team. The third game of the season was played with Dawson. The locals com- pletely outplayed their rivals from start to finish and defeated them by a 25-20 score. A week later, however, Dawson took revenge and brought home the bacon by defeating the Monte team by a 30-27 score. The game was close during the entire period, both teams being evenly matched in size. The home team did not let a defeat by Dawson bother them for they staged a sensational comeback and took Clarkfield to camp to the tune of 29-23 and drubbed Madison 23-19. On February 1 the Lake team again showed itself the superior team and left the local sextet on the short end of a 15-21 score. Monte ' s fifth victory out of eight games played, was taken from Clarkfield. This was Clarkfield ' s second defeat from the home team. . Monte in this game again showed some of their old form and the final score was 19-10. The girls, however, became overconfident and as a result, Renville defeated them 25-31. The game was fast and hard fought but Renville maintained a lead throughout the en- tire period. As usual at the Tenth District Tournament, Monte and Ortonville battled for the Championship. The home team came as the underdogs having been twice de- feated by the Lake team. Monte, however, was out for revenge and the score was 13-6 in our favor in the last quarter. Ortonville staged a rally and dropped in four field goals before the final gun while the home team added only two more points. This, however, won the game and the Tenth District Championship. All in all, the girls had a rather successful season, winning six out of ten games. Page sixty-eight KKhl O CIRL ' LETTERMEN Salda Myhre, ' 29 — Captain of the Team Played at both center and forward and proved to be a good all-around player. Salda would be a credit to any boy ' s team. Winifred Goar, ' 31 Diminutive forward who was full of speed and with a knack of dodging her guard. Winnie also ranks as a crack shot. Cora Golden, ' 29 Played forward. Cora was a good shot and filled her position well. Purges Lynch, ' 29 Played guard. She played a good game and always got results. Helen Himley, ' 29 Also played guard. Helen was especially noted for always being in the right place at the right time. Alice Andres, ' 32 Played guard, forward, and center — proved to be a good all-around player although particularly efficient as guard. Dorothy McHugh, ' 29 Another Senior guard. Dorothy was a quick, scrappy player and was ex- cellent in passing. Evelyn Rhoades, ' 30 Played guard. Ev ' s ability to stick to her forward made her an outstanding player. Page sixty-nine GIRLS ' INTERCLASS BASKETBALL The girls interclass tournament was held in November and was won by the Seniors. Each team played four games, the Seniors winning four games, the Juniors two out of four, and the Sophomores and Freshmen each won one out of four. The first game was between the Freshmen and Seniors, the upperclassmen winning by a 38-3 score. The Juniors defeated the Sophomores by 14-2 and then the Freshmen in a hard-fought battle defeated the Sophomores by 18-16. The fourth game of the series was Seniors vs. Juniors and was won by the Seniors by a 23-9 score. The Seniors next defeated the Sophomores 26-4 and the Juniors de- feated the Freshmen 20-8. The Freshmen were then defeated by the Sophomores by a 14-8 score and the last game was won by the Seniors who brought the Juniors to camp by a 25-7 score. This is the third interclass tournament the girls of ' 29 have won, having been declared interclass champions in their Sophomore and Junior years. The standings of the teams are as follows : Team Won Lost Percentage Senior s 4 1.000 Juniors 2 2 .500 Sophomores 1 3 .250 Freshmen 1 3 .250 A different plan was also tried this year. All the girls who failed to make the high school squad were divided into teams and had a tournament. Two rounds were held, the Sophomores winning the first and the Freshmen the second. The Freshmen and Sophomores are then to play off the tie but at the time the Annual goes to press this game had not been played. Page seventy DEBATE DECLAMATION MUSIC DRAMATICS PUBLICATIONS ORGANIZATIONS Page seventy-one DEBATE This season marked the most successful Debate season Montevideo has known for several years. The question chosen by the State Debate League was, Re- solved, that the United States should cease to protect by armed force domestic capital invested in foreign countries except after a formal declaration of war. After preliminary try-outs, a squad of six was chosen by Superintendent Pederson. This constituted the debate squad, which was later divided into two teams, — the first team consisting of Genevieve Arnold. Myles Mace, and Margaret Eliason; and the second team consisting of Dorothy Westfall, Benita Calmenson, and Marie Anderson. After winning the first two debates in the season by the unanimous decision of the judges, Montevideo was qualified to meet Renville for the district cham- pionship. In the championship debate, held at IMontevideo. Renville argued the aflfirmative and Montevideo upheld the negative. The decision of the judges was two to one in favor of the Montevideo debaters. The next debate was the first interdistrict debate and was held at Ortonville. The Montevideo team went to Ortonville only to meet defeat by a two to one decision of the judges. Three members of the squad graduate this year, Marie Anderson, Margaret Eliason, and Myles Mace, but the rest of the squad will be back at work next year, determined to carry the colors of Monte through an even more successful debate season. The coach, Mr. Pederson, cannot be given too much credit for his work in de- bate this year, as the success of the team was undoubtedly due to his thorough knowledge of the technicalities of debating and his efficient coaching. Page sevcnty-tivo DECLAMATION Following a group of elimination contests, the winners as selected to repre- sent Montevideo were: Margaret Eliason, dramatic; Helen Borgendale, humor- ous; and Wilbur Hamilton, oratory. At the subdistrict contest at Renville, Helen won first place by unanimous vote, Margaret and Wilbur, fourth places. There were five schools competing in this contest. Helen ' s victory entitled her to enter the district contest held at Waconia, where she won a close second place. Monte High School will lose all the team by graduation this year and will feel its loss, especially Helen Borgendale, who has represented us in all her four years of high school, and Margaret Eliason two years. The creditable work of Miss Ryan and Mr. Brown must not be forgotten since much of the success of the declaimers is due to the coaches. Page scvenly-thrce GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB President Bernice Nelson Vice President Evelyn Graves Secretary . Clara Thompton An increased interest in music was shown by the large number of girls who tried out for Glee Club this fall. They, too, have been highly appreciated in all their public work. Miss Hamm, after a great deal of work, has turned out a very talented and accomplished girls ' organization. Too much praise cannot be given her in all her successful efforts. The Girls ' Glee Club took District honors at last season ' s contest and placed third at the state. The contest number is Beauteous Morn, by German. Page seventy-four BOYS ' GLEE CLUB President Arnold Nesheim Vice President Vincent Palmer Secretary Leroy Larson Another successful season has been finished by our Boys ' Glee Club. They have been very well received at all public appearances, and Miss Hamm, their director, is to be highly commended in her work. The Glee Club has always had very keen competition in our contests, as Marshall, their opponents took first place in the state meet last year. This year ' s contest number is the Song of the Road, by Protheroe. Page seventy-five f MIXED CHORUS This organization is composed of groups from both Boys ' and Girl ' s Glee Qubs. The chorus has worked diligently under the direction of Miss Hamm and has developed into an outstanding chorus. It has put across all of its appearances and we know it will give a good account of itself in this season ' s contest. Our Mixed Chorus took first place in the District in the last contest and they placed third at the State. Their contest piece is A Hope Carol, by Smith. Page seventy-six TULIP TIME The operetta presented on March 15 by the Glee Clubs and Mixed Chorus of our school was a great success due to the efforts of Miss Hamm, the musical di- rector, and Mr. Brown, the dramatic coach. Appreciation of the work was shown by the support given the production. The Cast Hans, a Dutch boy H.arold Larson Katinka, a friend of Christina Cl. r. Thomton Anna Zutphen. aunt of Christina ....

Heibert Hanson McSpindle, Professor of Botany Lyle Nemitz MUSIC APPRECIATION This group of students who learn to understand, and thereby appreciate music, is rather a new and unheard of group. Their work consists of studying the main themes of many classical numbers, recognizing the meter, rhythm, dance form, and media of performance. Although they do not make appearances, we know that they are progress- ing rapidly by their place in our contests. The team of three selected from this class by examination, won second place in the State Contest last year. Much credit is due them and their instructor, Miss Hamm. Page seventy-sez ' en BAND President Wilbur Hamilton The Monte High School Band is an organization of which Montevideo has long been proud. Besides playing for pep meetings during all seasons, it also plays for the high school programs. Although Mr. Kleven was missed when he left Montevideo, the band has done its best and now, under Mr. Pederson ' s direction, is working towards success in this season ' s contest. Last season the band took third in the District Meet at Montevideo. The con- test piece this year is the American Patrol, by Meacham. Page seventy-eight ORCHESTRA President Vice President Margaret Eliasox . loLA Erickson This somewhat recent organization was started by Miss Hamm who has brought it to the front as one of our best musical groups. Her untiring efforts have brought them successfully through this season. With the addition of sev- eral new instruments the group is possibly a little better balanced than last year. They have made many public appearances, and have done a good deal for our pep meetings. Though many graduate, we hope to see new ones join next fall and thereby have as successful a season as the one they ' ve just finished. At the District contest held last May at Montevideo, our orchestra took first place. The contest piece for this year is the Turkish March, by Beethoven.

The officers elected were : President, Margaret Eliason ; vice president, Purges Lynch ; secretary, Solveig Bergh ; and treasurer, Dorothy McHugh. Later in the year the organization was divided, because of the large number of members into group A with Valoris Chariton as president, and group B under Geneva Tack. The Juniors and Seniors gave an initiation party to give the new members a good send-off for the year ' s work. Plans for a banquet at the end of the year are being formulated. All members are working for points which are handed in to the councilmen each week. Points are given for work in development in any of the four phases of life : mental, physical, social and religious. Those having 250 points at the date of the banquet will receive an emblem. The class of ' 32 will be admitted next year. The members who graduate this Page eighty-five V spring have enjoyed being members of this club and hope that the organization will be continued in the succeeding years. The membership is as follows : Amy Abel Naomi Ahrens Pernille Amundson GladysAnderson Juanita Anderson Marie Anderson Genevieve Arnold Lois Arnold Agnes Artzen Olive Austin Esther Axness Borghild Baker Natalie Baker Alice Barager Frances Barager Myrtle Belsaas Elinor Benson Solveig Bergh Helen Borgendale Theodora Campbell Valoris Chariton Margaret Eliason lola Erickson Irene Erickson Viola Feldhake Winifred Goar lone Goetz Helen Gould Frances Gunlaugson Evelyn Graves Christine Halberg Maxine Hetherington Helen Himley Hildegarde Himley Evelyn Iverson Helen Jacobsen Josephine Jahn Dorothy Johnson Evelyn Johnson Inga Johnson Malva Johnson Verlie Johnson Evelyn Jorgenson Pauline Kief Helen Kittleson Helen Lanes Harriet Larson Leota Levoy Lilly Lindvall Hildegarde Lima Mildred Lofdahl Furges Lynch Sylvia Lyngen lone Marholz Julia Mason Wilhelmina Mason Dorothy McHugh Lydia Metlying Frances !Mills Thurma Mooney Salda Myhre Bernice Nelson Edna Nelson Hazel Olson Mildred Peterson Evelyn Rhoades Eleanor Rogne Alice Ronning Ardis Sarff Lorraine Schulke Bernadine Severens Marion Shardlow Glyda Shipley Jennie Stokke Maggie Stokke Maud Strand Geneva Tack Clara Thomton Eileen Thomton Marcella Van Fleet Muriel Waldron Dorothy Westfall Dorothy Wilson Margaret Young Page eighty-six ALUMNI ' 28 Alma Oie, Nurses Training, Deaconess Hos- pital, Minneapolis.

Page eighty-seven GIRLS ' FOUR-H CLUB The girls 4-H Club of Montevideo is one of the divisions of the State 4-H Club. There are two sections of this Club— those taking the Garment Making project and those taking the Bread Making project. Last year there were forty members and as a result two State Fair trips were given. Sylvia Norman and Ruth Olson were sent to the State Fair to demonstrate their ability in bread mak- ing. A number of girls attended the annual Club encampment at Milan. Adeline Olson ' s sewing was chosen to be sent to the State Fair. Fourteen of the girls entered their exhibits at the Count}- Fair and were awarded premiums as a result of their efforts. Each girl taking the garment making project must make five gannents. Each girl taking the bread making project must make at least three bakings of dark bread, six of white bread, and six of quick breads. Everj ' member of either group is required to write a story about her work, keep a record of the time and money spent and the money saved, she must attend and take part in the regular meetings whenever possible, and enter the county achievement contest. The club holds its meetings once a month in the Home Economics Room. It teaches the girls to do the everyday things well and to become helpers in the home, to become leaders in the community and how to work and play with others. The Club officers are : Geneva Tack, president ; Eileen Thornton, vice presi- dent; Winifred Barber, secretary and treasurer. The following are members: Ardis Sarff, Pauline Kief, Amy Abel, Helen Borgendale, Winifred Barber, Melvina Ronning, Evelyn Borgendale, Alice Ron- ning, Marion Lee, Claretta Graves, Helen Ingstad, Muriel Waldrqn, Francis Gun- laugson. Ivy Thompson. Fern Thompson, Louise Feroe, Helen Kitdeson, Adeline Olson. Geneva Tack, Thelma Nyvold, Helen Jacobson, Myrtle Elfman, Glyda Shipley, Beryle Waldron. Rita Reed, Eileen Thornton, Irene Wik. Hazel Schall, Hildegarde Ostlie. Miss Root is the advisor. Page eighty-eight FEATURES MR. NEYHART MEETS WITH ACCIDENT Mr. Neyhart, one morning last winter, failed to appear at the usual time to write out tardy slips. On looking into the matter it was found that the last of the student body to hear from him had been Miss Natalie Baker whom he had called to see about the use of a toboggan. Further investigation brought to light the fact that our dignified professors have been indulging in winter sports. Perhaps next winter they will take to sliding down the Opera House Hill in card board boxes. It seems that Air. Xeyhart was giving the populace a treat by standing up for a trip down hill. Evidently Mr. Ekberg wished to share the honors; however that may be, in the excitement a boot appeared and knocked the unfortunate one out. We sadly fear that our dear teacher will never be the same again. Student Arrested for Carrying Concealed Weapons Miss Alice Andres, a fair student of Monte High, was recently arrested by Ronald Ostrander, acting in the capacity of police-officer, on a charge of carrying concealed weapons. On her hat there is a small gold ball, nuich resembling the basketballs worn on thfc watch chains of certain athletes. On removal of this ornament, a long pin is revealed which, in the hands of such a mischievous person as Miss Andres, furnishes much enjoyment for the on-lookers, though it is not so amusing to the victim, especially when he is attempting to hit the high notes. The prisoner, however, was released by Judge Ostrander with a warning. Page eighty-nine ADDRESS ALL KICKS TO NEWSIUS MONTEORUM Owned and Edited by the Campbell- Bergh Company S. Bergh Editor T. Campbell Business Manager SoLVEiG Bergh Reporter Theodora Campbell Adz-ertising Manager Sol. Bergh Publisher Theo. Campbell Publisher Entered as Fourth Class Mail (Jebb ' s Defixition) at the Locker Room. In Chippewa County nonsense All Foreign Counties incense Steam Heated Lockers Admitting that this is a beautiful world and that old Monte High is one of the best places in it. we still find that our school has its defects. One of the most outstanding and because of its grave nature, one of the most overwhelming, is our frigidly cold lockers ! The upper classmen have become accustomed to it, the instructors are power- less to remedy the situation, and the school board, for some unknown reason has failed to take action. But consider, if you will, the freshmen who enter these halls for the first time expecting the same degree of heat to which they have been ac- customed in the past. Upon opening his locker what does he find? A balmy breeze? No! Emphatically. No! He feels a blast as from the breath of the North Wind himself ; a chilling, biting, penetrating rush of cold air. Is it surpris- ing that so many freshmen lose their hair during the first weeks of school? According to Webster ' s Academic Dictionary, a student is an attentive and systematic observer, and I ask you how can one be a student, or a systematic ob- server if he must study each morning from books that have been in a Frigidaire all night, must don each evening a coat which has been in an icebox all day ? Why it seems to sap the vitality of the books themselves ! The situation demands immediate attention, something must be done without further delav. Let ' s do all we can toward the installation of steam heated lockers. Page ninety SOCIETY ' ••• ••••• •• •• • • ' The biggest social function of the year was the debut of Miss Sheza Wow. Among those present were a group of Monte High students. Since it was a very formal aflfair, everyone was dressed in new French creations. Therma Mooney and Jack Baker were wearing their new red suspenders. Natalie Baker and Mar- ion Shardlow wore their gayly decorated sweat shirts which turned out to be the subject of conversation in many circles. Russell Aanes and Hibe Hanson promenaded around to show of? their latest investment, red Har- old Teen hats. Rudy and Gerhard were present wearing overalls. Elinor Benson was the other Monte High representative. She wore a red sports costume and car- ried a fan of blue and green peacock feathers. B aeon ■Egg The wedding ceremony of Miss Rinda Bacon and Mr. R. Otten Egg was for- mally solemnized on the morning of Friday the thirteenth, at ten o ' clock, after an appropriate wedding breakfast. Miss Bernte Toast was maid-of-honor and Mr. Berry Jam attended the groom. Plain and Fancy Bacon, cousins of the bride, were flower girls. Little Iman Egg was ring-bearer. The groom wore light trousers, a dark coat, purple and pink changeable silk suspenders, orange shirt, green polka dot tie with a handkerchief to match, indigo spats, and a derby hat. His hair was beautifully marcelled and arranged for the occasion. The bride and her bridesmaids wore the conventional white. Miss Bacon carried a beautiful bouquet of dandelions and cowslips and her attendants carried weeping willows and bleeding hearts. The flower girls were gowned alike in blue gingham dresses trimmed with organdie, and the ring-bearer wore pink rompers and a straw hat.

Page one hundred nineteen Graduation Gifts Specially Chosen for Youth Graduation ! What a day to remember — perhaps the brightest, the most hopeful of an entire lifetime. Select for your Graduate something permanent — something that will recall the happy day for years to come — a gift of jewelry! In brilliant profusion we show rings, brooches, bracelets, pendants and earrings for the girls, diamond-set from $25 ; with semi-precious color gems, moderately priced from $5. Or perhaps a vanity, silver pencil, enamel mesh bag — one of the count- less suggestions we offer will surely solve your problem. For the modern boy Graduate the selections are just as wide and varied, embodying such acceptable items as cuff links, scarf pins, garnet or onyx-set rings, leather wallets, belt sets, pocket lighters and many others — all equally interesting. As is always our custom, each article represents the utmost in value for the amount spent. Perhaps — if you desire to combine utility with beauty, — you will choose a Bulova watch, the time honored gift for graduation. J. W. MILLS Quality Jeweler and Optometrist Montevideo, Minn.
