Z?lwfJQcfZa6 Ex Libris The days of the covered wagon are gone, but not so the pioneer days. They are always with us. Just as modernity is the name given to today by yesterday and to tomorrow by today, so pioneer is the name we give to him who is forever looking forward. Mod- ernity is a marching, various, dynamic principleg the pioneer is he who is governed by that principle. Modernity is the social structure of tomorrow, and the pioneer its builder. fContinued on next nagep The Mohischan I 93 I ll ll S ll We wish to show that the pupil of today has in him the capacity, and before him the unparalled opportunity, to do pioneer work. The America of today is the product of what we might, for want of a more precise term, call industrialism, building on a physical base of untold wealth. In the last generation, the greatest indus- trial strides in the history of the world have been stepped off by the seven-league boots of American business. tfbnliuucd on next 11215591 THE SENIOR CLASS honors JEANETTE SWENSON as the student submitting the winning name HMOHISCHANH for the school yearbook 1 l V f-7 7 ' ' ' ' K Foreword As to factual content, our yearbook has for its primary purpose the portrayal of the school year's activities. The Mohischan of 1931 presents to you in Summary form the essence of Montevideo High Schoo1's organization and achievement for the past year, in the hope that the book will become a cherished repository of happy memories. Because education is the tool wherewith progress works, our theme is the modern viewpoint, which in its finest aspect we take to mean the renewed realization and application of age-old humanitarian principles. V The Nlohischan l 93 I ,il The result is a nation rich beyond former dreams, swarming with motor cars, inundated with baths, and swaddled - - half of it, for a portion of the year - -in fur coats. Our manufactures and our coin- merce lead the world, and our agriculture has to its own detri- ment out-distanced the consuming powers of its markets. A rich nation, indeed, but we put it to you, a nation which is a husky young adolescent among nations, muscular, mechanically skilled, but u.ndeveloped mentally and spiritually. Qffoniinued on next pagcj Published By SENIOR CLASS 1931 Montefuideo High, School V Dedication rl There are in America motor cars, bath-tubs, and fur coats in happy profusion, but there are also slums, hunger, and weary, dragging feet in less happy numbers. And even among the occup- ants of the motors, the tubs, and the coats there is restlessness, selfishness, and absorption with material values, all of which go to starve the spirit. Industrialism, indispensiblo bringer of mat- erial wealth and the potential basis for spiritual happiness, exacts a toll upon the unsuspecting nation which bankrupts the spirit. fContinued on next page! V Dedication Because of his meticulous devotion to his work and all its de- tails, his high regard for duty and the professional aspects of education, and the zeal with which he performs all tasksg for his ability as dramatic coach, his wit and good humor, and his well- liked cheerful friendliness 5 and because his is a personality well- liked at Montevideo High School: we dedicate this MOHISCHAN of 1931 to ......... Lennardl E. Brown. Order of Books l Q 1 I l I 5 Industrialism, unalloyed and unchecked by a strong social con- sciousness, must bring evils in its wake. From mass production to mass living is only a step, and to take it becomes the easiest way, though it is the least Wise. We who may be fortunate enough to live away from an industrial environment, we who have the motor cars and the baths and the furs must not imagine we are exempt from the evils of a machine age. fContinued on next pagcj SCHOOL ATHLETICS ACTIVITIES FEATURES ,I V School l . .I 5 III M l 1 l' 1 l 'li ll ll Nl fl 13' V if ll l .lil f l ff l l all All y V , y l l - l' 4 1, 1 ll nf, ,f fl There are slums of the mind, and they are built by an atmosphere that permeates the air the nation breathes. Whence comes our standardized thinking, our selfishness, restlessness, and concern for tangible wealth. Such is the toll of our robot era, our push-- button principle. To avoid the toll and make industrialism our servant rather than master is the new modernity and the horizon of the new pioneer's west. fContinued on next divisional pagej THE MOHISCHAN Faculty Seniors Juniors Sophomores Freshmen Junior High Teacher's Training Agriculture W1 THE MOHISCHAN C.

SCENE ONE Time: 1919 through 1925. Place: Various rooms in Hillcrest, Sibley, and Central Schools. Characters: Members of the present Senior class at an earlier period of their education. The curtain, rising slowly, shows boys with hair slicked back and girls in gay hair ribbons gazing with round-eyed astonishment and awe at that strange and dreaded creature-a teacher. The monster is attempting to entice them into her clutches by means of bright-colored paper, shiny scissors, and promises of good times to come. The curtain falls, and when it again ascends these same innocents who so foolishly suc- cumbed to the wiles of the temptress are paying the penalty, and with heads bent sub- missively are painfully drawing dots and dashes, which, in some far-distant day will become-not the Morse code-but the alphabet. And so on through the first four years. The scene changes abruptly and these budding geniuses are seen hovering about the gymnasium or haunting the steps to the Junior High whenever they can escape from the fifth and sixth grade rooms, their rightful habitation. Some of the more bold who have even ventured into that mysterious realm known as the high school, report that it is peopled by superior beings, who tradition says, were once as small as these, their youthful admirers. SCENE TWO Time: 1925 through 1927. Place: Junior High School. Characters: The same as before. Behold, the Junior High assembly and the students who put the study in t'studios! Here proud authors read their masterpieces from the pages of that universal favorite, the Junior Globe, and the first Junior High Girls' Glee Club warbles its way to fame. Lessons have now become a stern reality, and for the first time, discipline has come to hold a primary place in school life. SCENE THREE Time: 1927 through 1930 Place: The High School Such a group of red-faced boys and quiet girls! For a time they cringe before the jeers of the highly superior sophomores. And then-can? that be a Freshman on the football field? And is that another on the debate platform? And yet others in the music groups? Truly this Freshman iiock is far more intelligent than the usual greenhorn group. . With fleeing time comes many changes. The Junior year finds activities in which these Juniors have never before participated-the class play and the banquet, both of which called forth enthusiastic comment from the townspeople. New resf ponsibility is shifted to the unaccustomed shoulders, and carried out admirably. SCENE FOUR Time: 1930 through 1931 Place: The High School Characters, The Seniors, as they are now. Seniors at last! The dignity of being upper classmen, with all the duties it involves rests now on the shoulders of these who have at last come into their own. The annual is constructed page by page through their efforts, music and sports claim many of the class. Leaders rise from among them to conduct the social life of the school. Step by step they have walked the path of training and now they stand at the high- Way, with roads extending in all directions. In the background the purple banner still waves triumphantly, and the members of the class of '31 stretch back their hands as if loathe to say good bye. But their faces are turned to tho rising sun, which heralds the dawn of a new day. l15l THE MOHISCHAN RALPH AAMOT Band, Operetta, Orchestra, Interclass Basketball, Senior Class Play EDYTHE ADAMSON Basketball, ,Glee Club VENITA ADAMSON Interclass Basketball MAY AGRE Amicitia SELMA AGRE Belview High School, Glee Club, Operetta, Schoolpaper E161 THE MOHISCHAN GLADYS ANDERSON - Amicitia, 4-H Club KERMIT S.

CLASS ADVISERS Miss Thomson Miss Burkland Miss Millie Mr. Neyhart Mr. Towley SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY The mystery of the future rises before us like a dream! Eagerly we scrutinize the cinematic disk of the televisor, and surely our enthusiasm is amply rewarded when we discover ourselves gazing through the intricate maze of time into the misty haze of the future. We are amazed to recognize the familiar countenances of our contemporaries, but how different they look. They are all decked out in the garb of years to come. Let us together scan the prophetic screen, let us forget the world extant as our prognosticator reveals in its spectacular manner, the destiny of the present. We have our dials set to 1941-now look! All at once we are aware of a form looming up out of the misty haze. It is Jack We-isbrod, but how he has changed. He is counting out wienies for a lady whom we recognize as MarcellaVan Fleet. A butcher's life surely is no joke, sighed Jack as he handed her the parcel. Neither is running a boarding house for teachers, compared Marcella. t'Especially for Glenna Fuhsg she's always compaining about the meals, and anybody knows wieners are good enonugh for teachers. The scene fades and we are confronted with the massive form of a church. The groom stands at thc altar. Can you see who it is? None other than Harold Braaten. He is looking at his bride with adoring fond- ness. She is so closely veiled that I cannot recognize her We look up at the minister who is reading the marriage vows in solemn tones. It is Clyde Bjorndahl, of all people! The ceremony ends and Arnold Swenson sings 0 Promise Me. I hear that he is soloist with the Minneapolis Symphony now. As the crowd files out we hear Gladys Anderson and Selma Agre conversing over their new invention, an instrument by which one can speak with the deaf. The screen next flashes on the famous and widely-read paper The Watson Voice. We see by it that Lois Canton, and Lyla Kittleson have turned the old Corner Cafe into Watson's first Night Club. Some of its most renowned patrons are Adeline Olson, who has been acclaimed leader of the Socialists of the world. Her assistants are Mildred Moen, Hilde- garde Ostlie, and Latona Prien. The champion bantam-weight prize fight- er, James McHugh, dines there quite frequently also. He is always pro- tected by his guards, Stanford Heieren and! Robert Lee, from the ardent admirers. Vernon Kirscht, who now coaches the Monte hockey-team lunches there after every game. We wonder why the celebrities all chose this place but now we see Inez Wattum and Gudrun Sjoberg are among the waitresses. Edith Adamson is chief cook and Raymond Steinmeier f33l THE MOHISCHAN makes a pleasing Master of Ceremonies. Ralph Aamot, who has be--- come the successor to Vachel Lindsey in the writing of musical poetry, often thrills the crowd with lifelike interpretations of his works. A small village next flashes on the disk of the televisor. Here we see Erling Broten beating rugs while an angry voice shouts from the window telling him to hurry. He smiles at us like a prisoned rabbit and continues his work . We see Dorothy Johnson coming along the road. She is making a tour around the world on foot. She tells us that Harold Larson is running for president against Winnie Goar, the radical suffragette of the Step-on- 'em party. Dorothy Westfall has migrated here to work up plots for some more hair-rising stories for which she has gained world-wide fame. Suddenly we are aware of the strains of a beautiful song. Our screen now shows a broadcasting station. To our surprise we are listening to what is widely known as Monteprogram. Our musical classmate of High School days, Hildegarde Himley, sings many of the latest songs which have been dedicated to her. She is just gaining fame in the Operatic World. Clara Thomton, who is heralded as the movie find of the decade, also favors us with several musical selections. The announcer who informs the listen-- ers of the change in program is none other than that great public speaker, Vance Halvorson. News reports are next on the program. Olive Austin has just become Editor of the New York World. Her assistant editors are Borghild Bakker, Mildred Haaland and Harriet Larson. Thel great foot-- ball classic of the season is to be played at W egdahl, Minnesota. The game is between the University of Ashbury and the University of Wegdahl. Coach Bill Andres of Wegdahl U. and Kermie Anderson of Ashbury U. meet on this famous battlefield for the first time in history. Rumors have it that Coach Anderson is greatly assisted by Alice Andres-former Ath- letic Coach at Big Bend-Hagen. Wegdahl U. is fast becoming one of the leading universities. Why shouldn't it with Pauline Kief as its president. Malva Johnson is its famed Shorthand and Typing instructor while Eunice Greenholz teaches French to perfection. Theatrical Features this week are headed by The Shiek, starring Ray Carruth and Vcrlie Johnson. Helen Jacobson plays second lead opposite Howard Snowden. The specialty chorus known as the M. H. S. Special consists of Nellie Gilbertson, Alice Carmody, Lillian Johnson, Evelyn Jorgenson, and Mae Neslund. Olof Strand entertains with a number of Russian Dances and the athletic fea- ture is furnished by Jennie Stokke, Hazel Olson, Marie Lorenz and Irene Wik. The Orpheum's popular orchestra is directed by Lois Arnold with Minerva Mjunes at the pipe organ. The most pleasing part of the program is the entertaining Master of Ceremonies, Henry Feldhake. The man- ager of this theater, Fred Mitchell is to be congratulated for the excellence of his programs. The scene fades and we are switched to another part of the world. It is in sandy Africa. How it has changed since 1931! No longer is it an un- inhabited desert. First we see a large structure known as the Agre Hospi-- tal owned loy our classmate May. Here Alice Eichorst is head nurse with Mildred Elfman and Margaret Collins as her assistants. Wilburn Hokuf and Melvin Holm are specialists in this great institution. The Royal Palace is near and we see the king and queen, Osborne Michie and Glyda Shipley sunning themselves in their spacious garden. They are attended by their faithful servants, Esther J orgenson, George Lindecker and Mabel mi THE MOHISCHAN Weckwerth. Gradually the scene shifts and we find ourself back again in the U. S. First we see Alice Barager who is lecturing concerning her latest book Correct School Attitude and Conduct. It is said to be written entirely from experiences in old Monte High. Other Monte students are also on this lecture tour. They are Helen Rees and Mildred Quammen who are speaking on correct etiquette and Evelyn Scharf who is now a well known nurse. Of course, the last place we wish to see is Monte High. I wonder how it has changed. Slowly the light ilickers and we see our beloved school looming before us. It is the faculty in whom we are interested. What's this! If it isn't Julia Mason and Thurma Mooney! They have taken their places as Latin and English teachers in their old Alma Mater. Earl Nelson is attempting to teach the principles of science while Marion Swenson and Lorraine Schulke have taken upon themselves the task of teaching French and Algebra. The say that the line-buster, Andy Pearson, is out on the field training a championship team. So we see many of the familiar faces back in Monte High again. Thus we have seen paraded before our eyes the future of our many friends, seniors in 1931, and as they wend their ways down the Halls of Time, we see them pause a moment to reminisce. As their memories linger back to our era, we share with them their expressed admiration and de'- votion to their Alma Mater, Monte High. 1351 THE MOHISCHAN JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY As shown in the pages of history, many great men rise from inspira- tions which are the beginnings of fame. We, the present Junior Class feel that we are making a name for ourselves. It is with great difficulty that we recall the time when the class of '32 set out on its illustrious. career. We mastered our three R's with such amazing and unusual rapidity that our dear teachers were astounded. The first few years of our school career were ones combined with easy- going play and work. Excitement came when we reached the Junior High. There we attained the height of efficiency in passing notes and throwing paper wads. The Junior Globe was published and through our untiring efforts and earnest endeavor, it reached the zenith of perfection and popun larity. Another of the high spots during our sojourn there was the pres- entation of a pleasing Christmas operetta. We graduated from the Junior High with great honors, and it was with much grief and the shedding of bitter tears that our teachers passed us on to become the sunshine to some other teacher's smile. All that remained for them to remember us by was our desks with carved initials and the indesctructible chewing gum attached thereon. . In the fall of 1928 bravely we entered the Halls of Monte High. Honor was duly accorded us by the warm reception we received on our first day. The boys all acquired new haircuts. Here we were brought face to face with many great problems-algebra problems-but we mastered them in an amazingly short time. We were recognized by all the upper classmen as the most promising class of geniuses that had ever brightened the hall of the said institution of learning. The following year we became the honorable Sophomores of Monte High. We grappled with and finally mastered the seemingly impossible geometry theorems. It is remarkable to note the rapidity with which we acquired wisdom, and with that wisdom came understanding. We no longer whispered when Mr. Neyhart was looking at us-no-we waited until he turned his back. Our Junior year has brought many new trials and tribulations. Many in our midst are now speaking French quite fluently-'fmerci beaucoup and Houi, oui. The Junior Class play, Only Me, was an admirable pres- entation and considered very successful. We have had many representatives in athletics, music, and speaking organizations of which we may be duly proud. Next year we become the mighty Seniors and must fill this position with such dignity, airs, looks, and manners as befits that high honor of superiority which shall be bestowed and conferred upon us in 1932.

Years sped quickly by as we played and worked together in the beginning of our long struggle to gain knowledge. Few events of very great importance took place before our seventh year. Junior High found us eagerly participating in athletics and musical events. We were already developing that well-known trait of Monte students- good sportsmanship. Thus in the fall of '27, there were seen large and small groups of boys and girls coming from all directions. Our steps were directed toward an awe-inspiring structure where our adventures were now to continue. Confidentiy we made our appearance into the upper hallways. Here was a place where our worth would be recognized. A glow of pride suffused our countenances, until we gradually realized that the jeers and cat- calls were directed at us. As Freshmen we were assigned our places for the year and at last were actually launched on a four year cruise through a stormy and wind-blown sea, in search of the treasure- Education As the year passed the timid gained in confidence and ability . The confident dis- covered there was still much to learn. We passed notes with more strategy and alacrity, and eur innocent faces, bent intently into our books, reassured Mr. Neyhart that we were all very busy. This year found us more active in school affairs than before. Athletics was not the only field in which we partook. Our class was very ably represented in many music sections. Many sophomores found an interest in Journalism and speech work. Year by year we are nearing the hidden treasure-the white gem of knowledge. Some think in two years the voyage will be ended, while in reality, it will have only begun. It is here our adventurous company will be broken and its members depart. As we go on in life We will realize that the treasure we had hoped to find is still in the seeking. i39l Adamson, Mae Adamson, Nadine Anderson, Lorraine Anderson, Mae Anderson, Marion Arntzen, Carrol Arntzen, Clara Axness, Ruby Baker, Marguerite Baseman, Iona Beale, 'Dorr Bechtle, Leona Bentson, Clifford Bentson, Margaret Blake, Cleo Blom, Esther Borene, Lowell Brandt, James Brown, Hiram Brokaw, Genevieve Brown, Hiram Burns, Ormal Burns, Robert Canton, Kenneth Carlson, Marjorie Collins, Lucille Cushman, Helen Dahl, Roger Dollarhide, Kenneth Dvergsten, John Ehrenberg, Charlotte Ellingson, Myrtle Emery, Cora Erickson, Opal Espeland, Maynard Evans, Olive Everson, Henrietta Falkenhagen, Paul Frey, Robert Garceau, Anna Goar, Mary Lou Goetz, Carrol Greenholz, Clarice THE MOHISCHAN SOPHOMORE CLASS ROLL Gustafson, Chester Haaland, Marie Hagenstad, Glenn Hamre, Elmer Hanson, Alden Hanson, Irene Harding, De Wayne Hartzell, Pearl Hayes, Mary Helen Heieren, Ruth Hein, Zula Hendrickson, Roger Hildebrand, Ellsworth Hokuf, Iolean Homan, Caroline Hungerford, Virginia Jarvis, Margaret J erve, Lillian Johnson, Alice Johnson, Helen Johnson, Richard Kamla, Ronald Kiefer, Harold Kittelson, Harriet Kittelson, Harry Konzen, Kermit Kvanli, Gladys Kvien, Gladys Lanes, Idell La Rowe.

The golden days which were so happy are now a dim recollection to most of us. To most people it was just an ordinary day in 1922, the sun was shining the same as ever. Yet there was something about this day that made it so different from others. Faces appeared at windows and there was a mingled expression of awe and wonder as they gazed at the merry youngsters who scampered on to their first day of school. It was the day the present aspiring Freshmen started their school careers. What joy was ours! No cares or worries to suppress our happiness. 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 offered more difficulties. Many merry times were mingled with our work. Although the thought of our Hallowe'en parties and the Santa Claus at Christmas time affords us much amusement now when we recall those happy hours, they were important factors in our younger days! T The first five years of our schooling meant little more than learning our tables, competition for a hundred in spelling, and perhaps the burden- some childhood cares concerning the harder lessons, mingled, perhaps, with a few tearful encounters with the teachers. In the sixth grade our atten- tion was turned to sports and contests during recess and a final tournament. The Junior High found us taking advantage of a few upperclassmen's privileges and getting a touch of High School routine. There were parties and picnics, marching to classes, themes to be Written 5 and of course in the seventh grade a diminishing worship of the eighth graders. We managed to find several ways in which to draw out the talents of our class. There were glee clubs, basketball teams gave us a good start in athletics, and our contributions to the renowned Junior Globe are noteworthy. We entered Senior High School last fall. How advanced We felt! How innocent we were! What a horrible feeling we had when we found it was English IV we were in, thinking it was algebra. However, already as Freshmen we have taken part in musical organizations and class basket- ball. The names of several of our intelligent and ambitious classmates have graced the honor roll throughout the year. We know that our future years depend almost entirely upon what we make of the present, and by making it a time of character building and progress, we may be sure that our future will be a successful one.

November first, Mayor Brown turned over the city' to the Junior High for one day. Officials chosen by their classmates were: Mayor-Alfred Larson, Councilmen-Bernice Thomton, Charles Tillman, Inger Dahl, Lorraine Nemitz, and Irene O'Connerg Policemen-Robert Kasak and Sander Person. At the end of the day, Mayor Brown gave a dinner for these youthful city officials who reported the prob- lems they had come across during their brief administration. An improvement in the line of publications was made with the establishment of 'fJunior High School Days, a monthly scandal-sheet of two mimeographed pages, which replaced the old Junior Globe. Two staffs were chosen, one for each semester. The members of the first semester staff were: Editor-in-chief-Erlyn Hokumg Associate editors-Robert Westfall, Sanford Nelson, Athletics-Barbara Wilson, Robert Kasakg Humor-Giles Michieg Reporters-Alice Graves, Jean Bay. Staff members for the second semester were: Editor-in-chief-Jane Hemstad, Associate Editors-Doris Salt- ness, Samuel Suterg Athletics-Luthard Molde, Bernice Sumner, Humor-Lorraine Claggettg Reporters-Grace Hegstrom, Lowell Mills. Miss Eide was faculty advisor. As the year rolled on some very promising athletes were discovered among the seventh and eighth grade boys, and the best players from both grades were chosen to form a Junior High team, coached by' Mr. Hagemeister. The squad members-Charles Tillman, Norton Thomton, Robert Westfall, Warren Johnson, Charles Dew, Waldo Oak- land, Raymond Swanson, Lee Hamilton, Robert Kasak, and Seldun Bullard, had a 'very successful season. Clarkield and Madison Junior highs fell before the onslaught of the Monte youngsters by scores of 18-3, and 14-1 respectively. Appleton proved their Water- loo, however, humbling the Purple 14-ll. The return tilt with Clarkiield again proved Monte's superiority with a 20-9 score. As a preliminary to the Clarkfield game the seventh grade girls' team played the eighth grade girls, the former winning 12-8. In a Skigmish with the Freshman girls, the Junior High girls brought up the short end of the 1- score. Intense enthusiasm went into the preparation and presentation of Friday programs, which started in a literal whirl with a yo-yo contest. Irene O'Conner and Waldo Oak- land proved superior in the fine art of yo-yoing. During the year health programs, a little red school house presentation, the observance of book-week, and numerous pep- fests were Friday features. Mrs. Hazard, Miss Storaker, and Mayor Brown also pro- vided interesting instruction for the Junior High. The Friday before Christmas vaca- tion a play, Why the Chimes Rangf' was presented in the Junior High assembly. After competitive try-outs, Ruth Monroe, Lorraine Claggett, Waldo Oakland, and VVarren Bullard, were chosen cheer-leaders, and took charge of the pep-fests for the remainder of the year. Much credit is due them for their part in fostering and devel- oping the fine school spirit which characterizes the Junior High. The Opera House was the scene of the presentation of The Wizard of Oz by the Junior High, March twentieth. The players were: Dorothy-Bernice Thomton, Toto- Francis Homang Witch of North-Marlys Westbergg Scarecrow- Judith Whitmore, Tin Woodman-Robert Kasakg Witch of West-Loretta Nemitzg Lion-Alfred Larsong Guar- dian of Gates-Charles Dew, Glinda the Good-Janet Anderson, Floria- Jean Bay, Wizard of Oz-Robert Westfall, Munchkins-Lyla Nelson, Leona Jacobson, Marjorie Harstad, Phyllis Petterson. The success of the play was due in large measure to the efficient coaching of Mr. Johnson. Altogether, the year has been the most active in the history of the Monte Junior High, and both teachers and pupils are to be complimented on the splendid work ac- complished.

There were five lettermen back. Three of last year's lettermen did. not return or come out for football. Monte's first victim was Appleton. The purple warriors won to the tune of 26-0 with a green team on the field. Anderson was not able to play and.!Xndres received an injury in the Hrst quarter. Xvith only three ex- perienced men onthe field, the team made the season's first victory. The crowd that turned out to back Monte was well satisfied and happy over the shoudng. Madison was the second foe. Andres was unable to play because of injuries but Anderson was in the lineup. Monte found this night game quite easy and with many long runs the Purple and Gold boys piled up the score for a total of 56 points, leaving their opponents in possession of the goose egg. The Monte boys figured that Benson was their strongest opponent. It was a dark, rainy day, but in spite of the unpleasant weather, our gridders showed real fighting tactics.. The Benson team proved to be powerful but at the end of the march to victory Monte held the higher score of an 18-6 count Ortonville brought home only a circle off the score board where Monte had again piled up a large score in a one-sided game. Everyone played in this game including Mousie Homan. The second team played half of the game and contributed 14 points to the team's total. The Purple and Gold men beat their old rival, St. Cloud, for the first time in five years with the score standing 20-0 at the end of the half on the latter's field. The weather was disagreeable with a hard wind and frequent snow flurries all afternoon. The whole team was in condition and eligible. Monte brought home a grand victory after long runs by Thompson and Andres, and line plays by Anderson and Weisbrod.

Alex made one long march but was stopped by two remarkable tackles by An- derson and Larson. This was the Homecoming game. The home team journeyed to Redwood for a hard game. Both teams were pitched high for this game. It ended in a tie, 12-12. Anderson could not play, and it was through a cold, seemingly endless afternoon, that Monte almost lost their chance to keep that undefeated record. On Armistice day, the last game of the season, the Purple and Gold warriors met the Marshall team, who started out fast and furious but soon weakened. Monte worked its passing attack successfully in this encounter. Although Monte loses eight lettermen for next year, fans are looking for- ward to another successful season next fall.

Anderson, Weisbrod BASKETBALLRESUME Coach Wasgatt's call for basketball players was answered by a large number of boys who came out for squad practice. With Bill Andres acting as captain the team was victorious in all of the first games that were played. In the first game of the season played with Granite Falls on the home Hoor, the boys showed marked ability. Clarkfield's team became Monte's foe on. December 12 when both teams battled for a score of 19-2 in a game of little excitement. In the Dawson game of the following week the locals marked down a score of 20 points against their rival's 6 points. The return game with Clarkfield showed the Purple and Gold again victorious by a 17-10 score, The boys met their first defeat of the season January 16 when Madison entered the Monte Armory and put up a fast and furious fight for their score of 20 points. The locals lost the game by three points. They were determined not to lose their next game so on January 20 they defeated Marshall 11-6 in a slow game. For the first time for five or six years Willmar and Monte were scheduled for a game. On January 23 the team journed to Willmar. In a hard battle from both teams, the Willmar cagers proved their superiority and took the game by a score of 28-22. The next game, the first to be played in the gymnasium of the new Granite school house, was a victory for Monte. The riverside boys showed marked improvement in some fast teamwork and furnished good competition for our fellows. The result of the return game with Dawson was not very favorable for our cagers. Monte was defeated by a 15-12 score. Running up a score of 26 points was not difficult for Monte in the game they played at Ortonville. It seemed to be an off night for Ortonville as they were able to glean only 11 points. The first game with Appleton was played here and the floor work of the Purple and Gold was extraordinary as they carried the game 17-13. I59l THE MOHISCHAN The Monte team went to Madison on February 6 to play a return game. The final report from the gun meant a defeat for Monte, the score being 13-8. The next trip was one to Marshall in which Monte won by a large score. When Willmar came to our city to play a return game both teams were prepared for a real battle but again the superiority of our rival's team gained another victory for Willmar, 18-7. The second game with Ortonville was fast and interesting. Ortonville carried home the smaller score. The last game of the season was played at Appleton. Both teams showed a re- markable fighting spirit and Dollarhide made 6 free throws. Monte came out victorious by a score of 25-22. The team was entered against Appleton in the first game of the 11th District Bas- ketball Tournament held at Madison on March 6th and 7th, The game was very well played. An unusually large number of fouls were committed which resulted in the loss of two players before the end of the game, Andres and Weisbrod. Heieren, playing center, was also discharged on fouls in the last quarter. There was a tie in the last quarter but by the time the final whistle blew our opponents had scored three more points and Monte had to take a hard defeat 21-17. Appleton, however, went 'through the semi-finals, and were also victorious in the finals. BASKETBALL LETTERMEN Andres-Captain-Senior-Forward-Fourth letter K.

The faithful squad coached by Miss Heggen went through a very suc- cessful season, playing ten games this year, whereas last year they were scheduled for nine games. Throughout the season the defense has been particularly strong. The positions for defense work were held by Andres, Fuhs, and Stokke, while Monroe, Olson and Larson proved very efficient substitute material. The forwards have steadily improved since the be- ginning of the season. In nine games last year ninety-three fouls were committeed, while this year the records show only fifty-nine fouls in ten games making the stand- ing thirty-four less on fouls against the team. Much praise should be given the girls in their ability in stamping a Uill THE MOHISCHAN foul shot record of thirty-eight per cent for the year. Canton rated high with a fifty per cent record on foul shots. , On December 12 the team met Clarkfield in the first game of the sea- son in the Monte Armory. Monte piled up a score of 38 points with little difficulty. Their opponents scored 10. Fuhs was taken out on fouls and Monroe substituted. This was one of the only two times a player was lost on fouls this year. The next Visitor was the Dawson team. The game proved interesting and exciting to an enthusiastic crowd of fans who backed the fighting team until the final whistle was blown and the score board showed another vic- tory for the Purple and Gold, 28-24. The competition next in line was Madison. They entered our city with high hopes of a victory but this time Monte doubled their victim's score, 32-16. All the games of the season showed improvement in the teamwork and our cagers had a strong determination to win. This lasted until January 30 when they met Ortonville on the latter's floor. Thomton and Goar were out and Thomas and Gamm substituted. It was impossible for this team to carry the banner of victory and Ortonville won, 16-14. But in the re- turn game with the regulars playing, Monte took the game quite easily with a 29-10 score. A Both games with Appleton were fast and exciting. This opponent fur- nished stii competition. for Monte's sextette. The score in the first game was 16-15, and 14-10 in the last game. Lois Canton held a one hundred per cent foul shot record for the last game. Although the entire first team will be lost through graduation this year, there is enough good material so that the future for a good team looks promising.

E631 THE MOI-IISCHAN r Larson, Andres, Coach Wasgatt, Thompson, Nemitz IIQTFIEIRCHQIXESS I3ExSliEYTl3fXI1L Due to lack of time and space to play, the regular girls' interclass basketball tourna- ment will be held after the close of the regular season in March. In order to find suit- able first squad material a series of interclass games was run off and the result is as follows: The Freshmen played the Juniors in the first game and the report of the final gun acclaimed the Juniors the proud winners of the first hard fought battle. In the next game the Sophomores played the Juniors for the championship. The game was very exciting, and the end of the battle found the Sophomores on the long end of the score. The boys' interclass tournament was played off by the double round robin schedule system-each team playing all the other teams twice. The Seniors completed the first round without a defeat, and by winning the last two games in the second round they clinched the championship leaving each team with the following standing: Team ' lfVon Lost Seniors ........ ..... 5 0 Juniors .....,..... ,,... 3 2 Sophomores ...,,................. .......,.,..................... 2 3 Freshmen .........,...,............................................ 0 5 These games have been played before enthusiastic audiences in the High School gymnasium except for a few games which took place in the Montevideo armory. l54l Activities fins 71 is It is an unselfish interest, devoid of ulterior motive, and based on a warm regard and respect for man as a being.

Seniors doing average commercial work, Juniors doing high average work, and Sopho- mores Whose commercial Work is above average, were amng those eligible for membership. Post graduates doing average commercial work and members of the faculty are entitled to become honorary members. The club was organized to afford opportunities for more extended practice in commercial work, and also to broaden the general knowledge and usefulness of the members in things pertaining to business practice. Jennie Stokke was elected president, Malva Johnson vice-president, Elinor Mickelson secretary, and Laurene Hayes treasurer of the society. The club has had a successful year under the able direction of Mr. Ekberg. E791 THE MOHISCHAN AMICITIA The Amicitia Club was conducted this year on a different plan fiflfifqg than previously. The old-time point system was abolished, the bl- fsc. s. . . . D3 ,fQs,M.,ff,x, X, weekly' business meetings done aways with and a form which has Q l proved much more satisfactory was introduced. The organization 1 L - - . . . . J is composed of all Junior and Sen1or girls doing average school work, and for the sake of convenience was divided into seven groups. The group leaders and president and secretary-treasurer were chosen from the honor roll students, all of the officers are Seniors. Winifred Goar was elected president, and Harriet Larson filled very successfully the office of secretary- treasurer. The group leaders are: Lois Canton, Olyve Austin, Julia Mason, Dorothy Wilson, Jennie Stokke, ,Genevieve Arnold, and Dorothy Westfall. The monthly meetings, held the second Tuesday of every month, were converted into educational programs of such a nature as to prove both entertaining and instructive to high school girls. Each of the seven groups took complete charge of one program during the year, basing the choice of subjects upon things of primary importance to the modern girl. Travel was the topic of the first meeting, and the highlights of the eve- ning were scenes from the Passion Play presented at Oberammergau and a talk on the most recent Passion Play, which was presented last year. Programs on etiquette and conduct, books and magazines, silver, china, and glassware, and opera, were all features of the year's activities which were brought to a delightful termination in May when the Amicitians gave a tea for their mothers. A very worthy and enjoyable project was undertaken by the Amicitia club at Christmas time. A family of seven children was made happy at the Yuletide season through the efforts of the girls who gave their time and talents to supply Christmas cheer for the needy. Each of the groups took the responsibility of providing clothing and toys for one of the children, and the fruits of their efforts surpassed even 'their most enthusiastic hopes and expectations. The following is a list of the Amicitia membership: Olive Austin, Venita Adam- son, Mabel Anderson, Borghild Baker, Muriel Bang, Alice Barager, Evangeline Botten, Naomi Erdahl, Nellie Gilbertson, Stella Gillis, Mildred Haaland, Helen Ingstad, Verlie Johnson, Evelyn Jorgenson, Mabel Laumb, Stella Lyngen, Labonna Otterholt, Arlene Soderberg, Lois Canton, Benita Calmenson, Alice Carmody, Avis Ehrenberg, Ruth Gamm, Eunice Greenholz, Redoshia Hildebrand, Lillian Johnson, Lyla Kittleson, Bernice Larson, Thurrna Mooney, Adelaide Quam, Elsie Schoening, Gudrun Sjoberg, Margaret Strand, Fern Thompson, Clara Thomton, Dorothy Wilson, Gladys Anderson, Alice An- dres, ,Elizabeth Eliason, Elinor Feldhake, Vivian Flinn, Mabelle Hamilton, Laurene Hayes, Helen Jacobson, Esther Jorgenson, Dorothy Ludtke, Mildred Moen, Pearl Morri- son, Mae Neslund, Latona Prien, Hazel Schall, Ivy Thompson, Genevieve Arnold, Selma Agre, Vivian Botten, Claretta Graves, Margaret Helgeson, Malva Johnson, Pauline Kief, Ber Nita Meyers, Minerva Mjunes, Margaret Molden, Olga Molden, Helen Rees, Lor- raine Schulke, Evelyn Sharf, Gladys Thomton, Nina Tofte, Inez Wattum, Irene Wik, Julia Mason, May Agre, Palma Fremo, Caroline Gilsrud, Hildegarde Hirnley, Dorothy Johnson, Genevieve Kittleson, Miranda Kittleson, Iola Lanes, Marie Lorenz, Elynor Mickelson, Norma Nelson, De Etta Nemitz, Olga Oie, Hildegarde Ostlie, Vivian Schwarz, Janet Woolery, Dorothy VVestfall, Alice Eichorst, Elynor Faley, Harriet Larson,.Mar- cella Lofthus, Helen Lovhaug, Violet Meyenburg, Adeline Olson, Doris Ovre, Mildred Quammen, Rita Reed, Irene Swenson, Ruby Thompson, Inez Underwood, Marcella Van Fleet, Beryl Waldron, Mabel Weckwerth, Jennie Stokke, Lois Arnold, Evelyn Borgen- dale, Charlene Collins, Margaret Collins, Margaret Falkenhagen, Glenna Fuhs, Adelaide Gunderson, Beatrice Jacobson, Helen Lines, Vivian May, Imo Monroe, Ruby Morrison, Hazel Olson, Glyda Shipley, Marion Swenson, Eleanor Telkamp, Irma Wolff.

The four-leaf-clo- ver with an H on each leaf, which is the emblem of the 4-H clubs through- out the United States, stands for the head, heart, hand, and health. The aim of the 4-H club is expressed in the club pledge: I pledge my head to clearer thinking, my heart to greater loyalty, my hand to better service, and my health to beter living, for my club, my community, and my coun- try. The projects of the girls' club are Garment-Making, Bread-Baking, and Cake-Making. The garment makers may enter in first, second, or third year work, according to the amount of experience they have had. There are also Thrift and House-furnishing projects under the heading of Garment-Making. In the bread-baking project, the girl must bake a required amount of bread and quick-breads and demonstrate the baking of a loaf at the county contest. The cake-making project is for those who have participated in the bread-baking work before or are entered in it at the time of taking the cake project. The meetings of the club are held once a month in the Home Economics rooms of the High School. The officers for this year are: President, Ade- line Olson, Vice President, Thora Lanes, and Secretary-Treasurer, Violet Meyenburg. THE DRAMA CLUB Another new organization that has been received with enthusiasm and co-operation on the part of the students is the Drama Club, more common- ly known as The Masquersf' The objects of the club are to promote interest in drama, to acquire experience in the art of dramatizing for the stage, and to promote fellowship between students and teachers. At various meetings reports have been given on the development of drama from ancient Grecian periods to the present. Studying the progressive stages of drama has proved interesting, as well as instructive. The officers of the club are as follows: President, Oliver Hendricksong Vice-President, Elizabeth Eliason 5 Secretary, Ruth Gamm g Treasurer, Genevieve Arnold. Various committees, including a program and recrea- tional committee, have been appointed by the president. The progress the club has made under Miss Millie's supervision de- serves praise, and in the future, great things will be expected of them as a high school organization.

The main college compus has an area of about 70 acre-4 and is located approximately in the center of the northwestern part of the city On the west the campus proper overlooks a multitude of black and sooty chimneys, and on the south the county jail. Root Athletic Field occupying about half a block lies north of the campus. It is named in honor of Miss Mary Root Who, on various occasions, provided fuel for the starved Athletes. The hazard of this miniature Golf Course are so great that even the coach has not been able to hurdle all of them successfully in a live plunge. It also contains a concrete swimming pool-postively guarrenteed to drown the birds. The College Arboretum comprises about one half a block situated beween the County House and the Administration Buildng. The site is ideal because of the diversity of land contours and soil types that it presents. Three or four species of trees and sthrubs are included in the plantings and it is hoped that green grass, hardy in this climate may eventually be represented in this collection. t34l THE MOHISCHAN The buildings of the college are inadaquutc- ly equipped for the purposes for which they are used. Most of them have been built during the last century. The Administration Building is a three story stone structure containing recitation rooms, the otlices of the Spec-tator and the Pro- gress and recreation rooms for the janitors. The Science Building: accommodates the dc- It is an explosion proof structure built of Granite Falls granite and trimmed with oak furniture.

The Commercial Club under the supervision of Prof. Are Sec E. is a very solid and substantial organ- ization. The officers consist of a Boardof Directors, a President, eight vice presidents, ten sub-vice pmsi- dents, secretary and treasurer. The various standing and sitting committees take turns selling pop-corn balls at athletic contests and every member of he club is guaraneed an office. A comparaively new society is the Philanthropical Society, formerly the Amicitia Club. The members are a bit slow in paying their dues but it is hoped they will co-operate more readily in the near future. A SOCi9fY that has been noted for its activity during the past, ten years is the Matrix Club. Under the able direction of Miss L. Bee Gee, the club has been successful in writing a column or two in the local newspapers. pvilieyw Z,- 'ia if -'lb ff' A VA! 0 s' r sffffiytw V I A' ' 5 ?

STUDENT EMPLOYMENT Students are not encouraged to do any hard manual labor during the time that college is not in session as they need time and leisure to recuperate from the past year's work. However, in cases where it is absolutely necessary for studnts to have work the college endeavors to help them find it. A considerable number of jobs abofut the institution are assigned to studens such as running errands for the janitors, picking up waste paper, etc. The college maintains a clearing house for such opportunities and freshmen who do this type of work faithfully are given preference.
