ROCHET JL ► Qhe 192 7 ROC H ET Published by the Junior-Senior High School Junior College Rochester, Minnesota DEDICATION O THOSE men and wom¬ en who erected the first log school house on the banks of the Zumbro river, and to the genera¬ tions who have succeeded them, budd¬ ing the beautiful city of Rochester and fostering the spirit of education in her schools, we dedicate this book. FO R WORD O PRESENT the life of Rochester High School as the culmination of seventy years of growth of city and school, to look to the past with pride and appreciation, to look to the future with enthusiasm and high resolve, that is the aim of the 1927 His¬ torical Rochet.

The history of Rochester since 1854 has been marked not only by the industry of such illustrious men as James Bueklin, first judge; W. D. Lowry, Council Representative; Mayo fam¬ ily, father and sons, but by the unfailing efforts and sturdy courage of countless others, equally responsible for the glorious growth of this internationally famous city. HISTORICAL ROCHESTER I T WAS in the spring of 1854 that the settlement which marked the beginning of the city of Rochester was made when T. C. Cummings and Robert Mc- Ready staked out claims and built shanties near the Cascade Creek. In the following July, George and Jonathan Head, with their father, settled on the site of the pres¬ ent business district. EAST SIDE BROADWAY IN 1890 Before long this small settlement became a stage stop on a coach line running from Dubuque to Saint Paul, the nearest Post towns being Winona and Elliota. The town neigh¬ bors were few those first years, but succeeding springs saw an extensive immigration and a flourishing business district. A store, built by J. D. Jenkins, was sold to Hugh Mair, who supplied it with goods for the rapidly growing population. The stock consisted of “wet and dry groc¬ eries, Mair having the distinction of bringing the first intoxicating li¬ quor to town in the form of a cask of gin This was partaken of freely by the ‘boys, but “Old Mair” was shrewd enough to get payment be added that “Zumbro clogged stream. COOK’S HOTEL IN 1890 is derived from “Les Embarrass. the in the end. It was rum¬ ored that when his sup¬ ply ran low it was re¬ plenished by an addi¬ tion of water from the Zumbro. Naturally, the gin froze in winter and was chopped up and sold in chunks, these be¬ ing melted over fires to make a drink. It might French for a blocked, or The first hotel, built in 1854 by George Head, was a rather small, but comfortable dwelling made of logs. All the provisions had to be “imported” from Iowa, so they were very expensive. This hotel was sold in 1856 to Mr. Asa Leseur who tore the old log struc¬ ture down and replaced it with a neat and commodious building known as the “York State House. the family of James Smith, in 1 855. The first death was that of a Mr. Brown, in the fall of 1834. The first marriage was a rather crude affair. The widow of Mr. Brown “took another man ’ but, there being no one to perform the ceremony, they called in several neighbors to witness the agreement and McReady performed a service which was to hold good until an authorized minister should arrive. ODD FELLOW’S HALL IN 1890 J he first recorded birth in Rochester was in Page Nine The first religious service was held by a traveling preacher from St. Paul in December, 1854, at McReady ' s house one evening and Head’s the next. The next services were not held until the following March, when the Rev. Robert Welch, of the Baptist faith, held regu¬ lar prayer meetings, continuing them until the next June, when the Rev. Ben Reynolds, a Congregational minister, “covered wagon” Broadway assumed the duties as pastor and re¬ mained the only preacher until he was succeeded in 1858 by an unknown minister. The first lawyer, Mr. Jay Parker, appeared in the same summer but did not prosper and so left town. The city was growing rapidly, neighbors now living within speaking distance. Perceiving the need of a form of government, the people elected W. D. Lowry to the Terri¬ torial Council, which position he occupied until Minnesota entered the Union as a state, in 1858. City politics began in earnest then. After some dispute, Rochester was made county seat of O 1 m s te d County. A court was established and sev¬ eral lawsuits immedi¬ ately tried. The first judge was James Bueklin, Esq. The first case was tried in the summer of 1855. LATER BROADWAY The first sawmill was indeed a curious construction. It consisted of scaffolding six or eight feet in height, the saw being long annd narrow (called a whip saw). This saw had a handle at each end and the power was furnished by a man at each handle. Mr. Alexander, the proprietor, said that two men could saw out as much as five hundred feet of lumber a day. As the judge was hauling corn at the appointed time for trial, and the season was busy and work pressing, the parties adjourned to the cornfield for the trial. Twenty-nine years after the first settlement of the city, a terrific tornado almost anni¬ hilated it. Twenty six people were killed, and hundreds more injured. Dr. W. W. Mayo, the ‘‘Queen City’s” leading physi¬ cian, saw the need for a hospital to take care of the people. In this manner, the Mayo Clinic, with its system of hospitals, was founded. The Rochester of today, a city with a population exceeding 16,000, justly proud of her history, is experiencing a steady growth which promises a brilliant future. Broadway today Page Ten A YEAR after Rochester was found¬ ed, in 1855, a log building was constructed which served as Rochester’s first school house. This building was very crudely finished, the bark being hewn off on the inside only. The eight windows afforded ample light, and since they were of waxed paper, served also as ventilators. Desks facing the wall could be seen on all sides but the east, « , , , t ™ ROCHESTER’S FIRST LOG HOUSE where the only door was located. 1 he desks were crudely made of wide boards supported by pegs placed in the wall for this purpose. The teacher’s desk was in the northeast corner of the room. In the center of the room was a firebox, which heated the school on cold days. The ceiling was made of plaster board to make the school more fit to withstand the weather. Behind the firebox, were several benches for the classes. Miss Mary Walker, the first school teacher of Rochester, taught intermittently for two years. Miss Phebe Hoag and Miss Stedman succeeded her the fol¬ lowing Rummer, and Mr. Reuben Rey¬ nolds, the first male teacher, was hired about this time. Edu¬ cation progressed so rapidly that there were soon forty pri¬ vate schools. Rochester had be¬ come a thriving city and the need for a large school was soon realized. The possi- DARLING’S BUSINESS COLLEGE b i 1 i t i e s were dis¬ cussed, but when the Civil War broke out, all other issues were dismissed. Mr. O. P. Whitcomb was final¬ ly authorized to pur- chase the Central School site which he bought for six thou¬ sand dollars. The building was finished in 1 868. Miss M. C. Bateman of Lansing, Michigan, was elect¬ ed principal. ROCHESTER HIGH SCHOOL After Miss Bateman’s term of principal- ship had expired, a yearly change of prin¬ cipals followed until Mr. C. H. Roberts was elected to that office. He was very capable and the school advanced rapidly under his leadership. Rochester schools have progressed frorn a log cabin with rude furnishings in 1855 to eight large, public schools of an ap¬ proximate value of two million dollars in 1927.

COLLEGE SOPHOMORE OFFICERS Sophomore Class History T HE sophomores entered Junior College in 1925 as a group of high school graduates who were somewhat puzzled by not having some institution as a foundation as they had in high school. But soon after classes began, the group was organized into a unit, all working for the improvement of self and college. During the first year in Junior College they helped, in no small measure, to make the All-College Mixer and the play, “The Goose Hangs High” very successful. The results of the inter-class games showed favorably for the class. At the close of their first year of college work, they assisted in and enjoyed the staging of the All-College Banquet, one of the delightful events in the social calendar. In the fall of 1926 they enrolled with a loss in numbers, but still they have the honor of having the greatest percentage returning of any class in the history of R. J. C. Their second year was spent helping make the College Mixer and the Shakespearean play, “Midsummer Night’s Dream” great successes. The football and basketball squads were aided in no small way by the sophomores. The class entertained at a dancing party the latter half of the year, and assisted in making the All College Banquet a success. We hope that many of the members of the class will finish college, and all of the members prove successful in life. Page Twenty-eight WILLIAM BEHMLER—Pine Island. Minn.

Yet never daunted, the freshmen began their work in the academic depart¬ ments for the year. The sophomores aided the freshmen greatly, helping them to adapt themselves to the new college life. During the year, the fresh¬ men have enthusiastically letter day for almost a hundred college their way to the third floor of the high tiptoed into Dean Goddard’s office. To entered into all college ac¬ tivities. Basketball and football were the fresh¬ men’s “pride and glory,” for on both teams they had a majority of men. The freshman-sophomore bas¬ ketball tourney was won by the freshmen. In the college play, “Midsummer Night’s Dream,” the fresh¬ men were well represented. Nearly all freshmen belong to the Dramatic and Or¬ phean clubs, and to the Alpha Literary Society. Page Thirty-five JUNIOR COLLEGE FRESHMEN In the Language of Numbers ROM seventeen to seventy-nine! Figures talk! Statistics present in graphic clearness the march of events. Rochester Junior College was organized in 1915 as a part of the Rochester School System. Opportu¬ nity afforded local students to begin regular university work while living at home appealed to the ones who made up the membership—seventeen—of the first freshman class. With the progress of the years the worth and the value of matriculation in Rochester Junior College have so increased that students from other states as well as from various Minnesota localities enter. The fol¬ lowing tabulation will indicate very definitely the numerical development of Rochester Junior College: Year Enrollment Number Graduating 1915-16 17 0- 1916-17 19 10 1917-18 12 2 1918-19 8 0 1919-20 7 0 1920-21 32 6 1921-22 60 6 1922-23 88 25 1923-24 115 29 1924-25 147 31 1925-26 129 33 1926-27 138 31 The 1926-27 Freshman class, with a membership of seventy-nine, has carried forward the ideals and the standards of the college, and we forecast that they will manifest the statement of the late President Burton, “The real business of the college is to develop personalities—personalities that are capable of large participation in life and of large con tribution to life.” Page Thirty-six Top Row —Edward Judd, Maurice Dale, Evelyn Parkin Bottom Row —Frank Eberts, Jim Melone, Archie Armstrong Advisors —Nordby, Nordly, Smalley SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Senior Class Review T HE senior class of 1927 pledged itself early in the fall to help make a better R. H. S. this year. Senior boys took most of the places on the foot¬ ball. basketball, and wrestling teams and filled them successfully; and the class as a whole supported the games well throughout the year. Much credit must be given to the senior girls who have put girls’ athletics on a basis unrealized before this year. A girls’ swimming team, organized in the fall, has become a tradition in girls’ athletics. With graduation not far away, studies were taken more seriously than ever before, and many sen¬ iors made the Honor Roll. The Rochet and Crucible have been called senior publications because of the strong senior support both in publishing them and subscribing to them. The Minnesota State High School Press Association Convention was held in Rochester this year and the seniors received and enter¬ tained the guests royally. With their characteristic vim, they participated in Debate, Glee Club, and Declamatory Contests. The final parties and com¬ mencement will close a busy and a happy year for the class of ’27. Class offi¬ cers are: President, Jim Melone ; vice-president Evelyn Parkin; treasurer, Maurice D a le ; secretary, Archie Armstrong. Ed¬ ward Judd was elected Student Council president.

On the gridiron, the juniors were glad to claim such players as Frank Eaton, stellar half back; Kenneth Guyse, star tackle; Jack Miner, husky guard; Red “Peanuts’ Tabor, the “go and get em” end; and “Bob” Miner, captain-elect for next year. In basketball, Eaton was also a star. He was captain of the team, and played a forward position. El¬ bert Schwarz, though small in size, was a sure shot and came in for much notice. Members of the junior class also forged to the front on the wrestling and swim- m i n g teams. Stanley Ruth and Hervey Knut- zen were selected as two of the three cheer lead¬ ers to represent the school at pep meet¬ ings and on the athletic field. Through the co¬ operation of the student body, they pepped ath¬ letics along in great style. The juniors had a very successful social year, giving several en¬ joyable parties, the last one being the junior prom planned for the spring. Mabel Ham¬ mond and Bertha Kretzschmar were given places on the debate team. The class play was “Nothing But the Truth.” Page Sixty Albert Adler, Georgia Allen, Louis Alverez, Helen Baihly Mary Bemel, Beatrice Berndt, Nina Bigelow, Gladys Biasing, Mary Braden Agatha Brandly, Arthur Brehmer, Myrtle Brantman, Carl Brookner, Catherine Brookner Eileen Burke, Helena Carnego, Evelyn Christopherson, Janet Collins, Shirley Cummings Beatrice Currier, Vivian Daly, Helen Darcy, David Dee, Leona Desbeins ROCHESTER HIGH SCHOOL JUNIORS Page Sixty-one Gordon DeVogel, John Disney, Leigh Donahue, Leone Doyle, Laurence Dunnett Frank Eaton, Vernon Eckholdt, Margaret Eichhorn, Donald Eppard, Tillman Erickson Loretta Ewald, Louise Fakler, Joseph Fawcett, Merle Fenton, Harold Fitzpatrick Carolyne Fratzke, Harold Gilchrist, Evelyn Goddard, Lester Goetting, Walter Gordon Kenneth Guyse, Lucas Green, Shirley Green, Ruth Greenlee, Lawrence Gronvold ROCHESTER HIGH SCHOOL JUNIORS Page Sivty-two — Irene Hagedorn, Ralph Hagenian, Wilbur Hailing, Mabel Hammond, Edna Hansen Oscar Hargeshiemer, Louis Hayet, Margaret Heim, Miles Hendricks, Shirley Heine John Hines, Doris Hjerling, Margaret Hjerling, William Hoeft, Edna Horton Jeannette Houston, Lillian Hutson, Margaret Jesson, Raymond Kamesch, Phillip Kavanaugh Lucille Keller, Joseph Kennedy, Margaret Kinney, George Klann, Hervey Knutson ROCHESTER HIGH SCHOOL JUNIORS Page Sixty-three Bertha Kretzschmar, Margaret Krueger, Esther Kunerth, Lela Langley, Esther Larsen Thomas Lawler, Jessalyn Lewis, Fern Linstrom, Lura McDermott, Mable McDonald Elaine MacMillan, Edwin Madden, Donald Mangan, Lela Mayhood, Norma Markle Hilma Marquardt, Rosella Miller, John Miner, Robert Miner, George Morrison Nellie Nangle, Dallas Neild, Arnold Neitz, Thelma Norman, Dorothy Nutting ROCHESTER HIGH SCHOOL JUNIORS Page Sixty-four Faye Owen, Betty Pattison, Fulton Perry, Esther Peters, Richard Peterson Ruth Peterson, Roy Pike, George Puryear, Mildred Raber, Luella Radke Archie Reid, Milton Reneaux, Stanley Ruth, Clara Rutz, Eva Satoris Martin Scanlon, Mellgren Schroeder, Elbert Schwarz, Christiva Schwersinske, Clare Siegel Lila Staggart, Vivian Stefflre, Wayne Stephen, Arthur Stolp, Nina Stolp ROCHESTER HIGH SCHOOL JUNIORS Page Sixty-five Edward Tabor, Virginia Taylor, Frances Thornton, Bertha Till, Geraldine Timpayne Marion Town, Marian Trow, Julia Trygstad, Lorraine Underdown, Raymond Vanderhoff Durwell Vetter, Francis Vihstadt, Elizabeth Waldron, Myrtle Watts, Alvin Wegner Margaret Weiberg, Inez Wenzel, Allyn Wilsey, Alice Wilson, Edna Witt Walter Witzke, Eleanor Wolfe, Stella Zemple, Lila Zick, Viola Zimmerman ROCHESTER HIGH SCHOOL JUNIORS Page Sixty-six Page Sixty-seven Top Row — Gerald Hutchins, James Bell Bottom Row —Priscilla Waggoner, Amy Logan, Doris Kretzschmar Advisors — King, Sinclair, Bohner, Smalley SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS T Sophomore Class Review HE Sophomore class started the year 1926 with one hundred sixty- seven members. At our election of officers, Amy Logan was chosen pres¬ ident; Gerald Hutchins, vice-president; Doris Kretzschmar, secretary; and Priscilla Waggoner, treas¬ urer. James Bell is our ath¬ letic representative. Our class was represented in football by Walter Harge- sheimer and Albert Horn; in basketball by Walter Hargesheimer and John Brown. We have several members in both the Or¬ phean and Dramatic Clubs. The sophomores are also showing up well in the swimming and wrestling teams. Our party for the juniors and seniors, given at the end of the basketball season, was a successful forerunner of what we hope will be the best “prom” yet — next year. Our aims have been to ex¬ cel in scholarship and ac¬ tivities,—and although we admit there is lots of room for improvement, still we are proud of our records in both of these fields this year. Page Sixty eight SOPHOMORE CLASS Page Sixty-nine Top Row — Vera Hunter, Edna Kretzschmar, Margaret Thorson Bottom Row — William Harwick, Robert Alvarez Advisors — Void, Hyslop, Helling, Smalley NINTH GRADE OFFICERS Ninth Grade Class Review O UR class began its strenuous year with a resolution to make 1926-1927 one of the best in its history. In September we numbered about two hundred and thirty eager, energetic, “freshies.” Our first step toward success was to elect Vera Hunter, president; William Harwick, vice-president; Margaret Thorson, secretary; Edna Kretzschmar, treasurer; and Robert Alvarez, athletic representative. Raymond Bunge was soon to prove himself the best and peppiest cheer captain in Rochester High, capable o f leading roof-raising yells. Vernon Rowland, al¬ though only a ninth grad¬ er, played an important part in athletics. He has developed into a capable basketball star. The year reached its height when the gay night of the party came round. We envied. of course, the confidence, ease, and grace with which the upper classmen man¬ aged intricate steps of the fox-trot; only a few of us proved ourselves capable in that art; but when it came to consuming great quantities of frappe we showed our superiority. To end the glorious year :omes graduation, to which we are looking forward with mingled excitement and regret.

Margaret Lawler was chosen president; Barbara Johnson, vice-president; David Judd, treasurer; Alice Adler, secretary; and John Sneive, cheer leader. Many of the girls of our class are proving to be real ath¬ letes. Among our junior life savers are Doris Baatz and Mildred Cast. We also have good basketball and volleyball players. Not to be outdone by the “girls ' the boys of our class, too, turned out en¬ thusiastically for athletics. Many of them have al¬ ready won their letters— not“Rs”—yet—but grade school letters for hockey and football. Our party, an indoor track meet, went off “tip top” because 1 t was supervised by our class advisors, Miss Mathews, Miss Vahle and Miss Mar¬ oney. The team represent¬ ing Minnesota won. so all of us, being good “Goph¬ ers” at heart, were glad. Our class hopes, in the fu¬ ture, to become outstand¬ ing in scholarship, activi¬ ties and sports; and since we are about one hundred eighty strong and full of “pep,” we think we have a fairly good chance. Page Seventy-two EIGHTH GRADE EIGHTH GRADE Page Seventy-three Peggy Moore, Frances Mussey, Marguerite Garden Advi sors —Dale, Keefe, Hughes SEVENTH GRADE OFFICERS Seventh Grade Class Review S EVENTH grade students started high school in 1926 about 213 strong to brave the danger of an unknown world. They elected Frances Mussey, president; Marguerite Garden, vice-president; Peggy Moore, secretary; Carl Helmholz, treasurer; and Walter Richmond, cheer leader. Faculty advisors are Miss Hughes, Miss Keefe, and Miss Dale. The class has had for its aims: To get good grades in class room work; to attain high standards in athletics, and in the end to win the coveted “R ' s”; and to participate enthusiastically in all activities. Their ambitions do not seem to be hopeless, for although there were only a few on the honor roll the first six weeks, they made up for it on the suc¬ ceeding ones by having an average of fifteen honor students a period. The Glee Clubs have the fol¬ lowing seventh graders: Elizabeth Fiegel, Annette Maatz, Ruth Shacht, Les¬ ter Burg, Lester Ewald, William White, Frank Sa- toris, Harold Shanley, Claire Heeley, and Ralph Fischer. The people in the band and orchestra, how¬ ever, outnumber these. Some of them are: Elean¬ or Lica, Helen Proud, Hazel Stewart, Allene Thompson, Maxine Ward, Vernon Anderson, Carl Helmholz, Dorothy Eiden, Marguerite Garden, and William Balfour.

The ten years of its existence gives an opportunity to survey its development. From the small class-room, in which the library was organized, it has grown into a modern library room, capable of seating ten per cent of the enrollment. The library now has 4,500 volumes, which are supplemented by loans from other libraries. Fourteen thousand volumes were loaned for home use last year; and the library was used daily by 467 students. The budget averages fifty cents per student. Besides the addition of new books, fifty of the leading magazines and three city newspapers are taken. A course in the use of books and libraries is given to the freshman. This course covers the use of the index, the main reference books, card catalog, and magazine index. Recent books of travel, biography, and of other interesting subjects are added as the budget permits. The library is not only a real work-room for the present needs of the students, but offers an opportunity to learn the right use of leisure time. The librarian is Miss Marian Baker. Page Eighty Miss Ruth Smalley, Instructor JOURNALISM The Class in Journalism T HE specific aims of the course in Journalism are three: First, to teach the principles of and to give practice in objective writing; second, to develop an intelligent appreciation of the newspaper of today; third, to foster ac¬ curacy in fact gathering and fact expression. To achieve the first aim, drill in the fundamentals of good writing is given and specific types of newspaper writing; straight news story, speech report, feature stories, editorials, practiced. To accomplish the second aim, eight leading newspapers of the country are studied and discussed from the point of view of editorial policy, content, his¬ tory, and make up. A short current event test daily keeps the class abreast of present day news. To accomplish the third aim, one day a week is devoted to diction drills to eliminate commonly misused and trite words and to the gather¬ ing of information about city and school. The mechanical principles of copy reading, proof reading, headline writing, kinds of type, layout, and the man¬ agement of student publications are covered during the course. Journalism has been taught in the high school for three years. Page Eighty-one Miss Lurline Boehm, Instructor TYPEWRITING The Class in Typewriting T YPING I and II are open to all students in the Rochester High School. Skill in typewriting is of value to the professional man as well as the business worker. In Typing I, the aim of the student is to become familiar with the mechanism of the machine and its operation. The main object in second year typewriting is to train the students for positions which they can best fill. Office practice is stressed. The student should therefore develop, to some extent, a working knowledge of office appliances and should have ac¬ quired practical business habits. There is always a tempting goal to work for because of the monthly awards issued by the various typewriting companies and the Gregg Writer Company. There are also district, state, and nation-wide typewriting achievement tests to furnish an incentive for constant progress in speed. Typewriting contains real educational values. One develops a higher degree of concentration and gains self-control which insures mental and physical efficiency. One learns to arrange material attractively upon the page, gains facility in the use of Business English, and acquires the habits of accuracy and neatness. C Page Eighty-two Sk Miss Louise Helling, Instructor BOOKKEEPING The Class in Bookkeeping B OOKKEEPING, as it is taught in the Rochester High School, is a two year course. “Twentieth Century Bookkeeping and Accounting” con¬ sists of two units—the text and the practice sets. The text contains material for class discussion which is intended to teach the principles of book¬ keeping. The sets provide material for use in testing the student’s knowledge of the principles developed through class discussions based on assignments in the text. The sets are separate from the text which makes possible a selection of practice material from long or short sets and sets with or without vouchers. This plan provides an elastic course—one which meets conditions under which the subject is taught. For the first year’s work, W. H. Goodwin’s set with vouchers is used. This set deals with the transactions which occur in connection with Mr. Goodwin’s Hay, Grain, Feed, and Coal Business. The ordinary entries involve checking purchases and sales invoices, issuing receipts to customers, writ¬ ing checks and keeping a check book, depositing money at the bank, proving cash, making reports of out-going papers, filing, checking inventories, preparing trial balances, balance sheets and profit and loss statements, and closing the ledger. Page Eighty-three -cjaaatziaatzr SaSQQOE | «a Miss Martha Mathews, Instructor SEWING The Class in Domestic Art T HE course in Domestic Art is divided into two year’s work. The first year ' s work, which is taken mostly by seventh grade girls, consists of the making of simple cotton garments, such as aprons and underwear. Previous to the making of each problem, a thorough study of suitable cotton materials is made, emphasizing the use, width, price, and durability. In all, twenty-five or thirty materials are studied. The girls are required to do their own buying as far as possible. They are also taught the cleaning and repairing of their clothing and the darning of stockings. At the close of the year, each girl knows the proper use and care of the machine and its attachments, the tucker, the binder, the hemmers, and the ruffier. The work in the second year is more advanced, consisting mainly of dressmaking. Wool, silk, and rayon materials are studied with the advantages and disadvantages of each as to its cost, clean¬ ing, and wearing qualities. With the selection of patterns, costume design is studied, as related to the types of individuals. The problems include the making of two dresses, one of wool and one of silk. As an extra problem, a child.s garment is made after a study of proper clothing for children. Each girl is also required to make a summer dress of voile, organdie, crepe or some other thin material. Senior girls may make their Commencement skirts. Page Eighty-four Mr. Vane J. Baatz, Instructor MACHINE SHOP The Class in Auto Mechanics T HE first Auto Shop class was held in 1918 when Mr. Vane J. Baatz came to the Rochester High School. Mr. Baatz has now two classes in Auto Shop. Fifteen boys are now enrolled. This work includes the repairing and overhauling of cars. Meredith and Metezrott have given the high school a car so that the Auto shop classes can rebuild the chassis. Mr. Baatz, while the car was being rebuilt, had the boys study the theory of the automobile as they assembled it. Mr. Baatz has taken his classes to the garages and to lectures. The school s cars are kept repaired by these classes. Lathe work was first started in the high school in 1910 by Mr. R. E. Spriggs, now of River Falls Wisconsin. The classes are now being taught by Mr. Baatz. There are two classes. 1 wenty boys are enrolled. The projects for the year are: Bell center punch, “T handle tap wrench; mechanics hammer kit, including: hammer, cold chisel, center punch, and scruber; machinist clamp: and mercury plumb bob. These classes do repair and machine work for the school engineering department. Forging was started in 1910 by Mr. Spriggs. Mr. Baatz is the present instructor. There are two classes; the number enrolled is 30. These classes are lor twelve weeks only. In these twelve weeks the projects required of the students are bolt, ring, square angle bend, three link chain, chain hook, welding, and tempering. Page Eighty-seven Mr. Benjamin Dunn, Instructor AGRICULTURE The Class in Agriculture T HE Smith-Hughes Agriculture Department of the Rochester High School was organized in 1921 with Mr. Harry Olin as instructor. In 1922. the department was reorganized to comply with every phase of the federal law and Benjamin F. Dunn took charge of the department. Animal Hus¬ bandry” and ' Field Crops” are given in alternate years in both the high school and part time vocational classes. The part time class usually starts about the first of January and this class runs for about three months. It is planned to help farm boys that cannot leave the farm work to attend the nine months classes. A series of evening school classes for adults has been given each winter for the last five winters. Two of the classes have been given in Rochester on Horticulture. Two other Horticulture series have been given for farmers and housewives at rural school houses. Last fall a group of farmers wanted some night class work in Dairying, and the series of meetings, held at the homes of class members, was completed by Christmas. Horticulture” and “Elementary Science” have been given as non-vocational subjects. In the last five years there has been splendid co-operation from the County Agent and much help has been given to Boys’ and Girls’ Work in various ways. The community service or extension program of this department has helped many farmers and city residents with livestock and plant problems. Page Eighty-eight Mr. Charles Rudkin, Instructor ARTS AND CRAFTS The Class in Arts and Crafts T HE arts and crafts course at R. H. S. has a two-fold aim: first, to teach the fundamentals of art: design, of balance, of unity, and of symmetry: and stencil work: second, to arouse school spirit for extra curricular ac¬ tivities, such as athletics, dramatics, and school publications through the making of posters. Illustrating is part of the work of the course and practical experi¬ ence in this line is obtained by drawing posters advertising the Crucible and Rochet. 1 he decorating of the gymnasium for school parties adds much inter¬ est to the class work and gives practice in the principles of room decoration. Painting of vases, wood printing, which consists of cutting designs out of blocks of wood, and leather tooling occupy the boys. A few minor problems are in¬ cluded in the elementary classes of arts, such as the illustrations of poems, the painting of shoe trees, and the decorating of candles and holders which can be used for gifts for any occasion. The making of holiday cards and the drawing of different kinds of borders are also stressed. Book covering and the making of album and memorandum books constitute interesting problems later in the year. Perspective work is one of the most fundamental and interesting divisions of work in Arts and Crafts. Page Eighty-nine c acacacnxr Miss Marguerite Kittredge, Instructor BIOLOGY The Biology Department R H. S. can rightfully be proud of its Biology section, for it is one of the best equipped high school departments in the state. Due to the efforts of Miss- King, Miss Schauntz, and Miss Nesbit, former teachers of this subiect, and Miss Kittredge, who has brought many aquatic specimens from the western coast, the museum contains an unusually large variety of preserved plants and animals. The department boasts of a good-sized aquarium, a com¬ plete collection of microscopic slides, sixteen up-to-date microscopes, many mounted specimens, and a pet chameleon which has enjoyed the freedom of the green-house for the last two years. In the earlier years of the school, Zoology, Botany, and General Science were taught as half year subjects. A side issue of these, “Nature Study, was carried on very effectively in the gra de schools by the late Miss Nesbit. Some of us who remember her weekly visits, recall her personification of a wood-pecker in pursuit of a worm, as she tapped on the schoolroom wall. At the beginning of the last school year, a full-term subject, Biology, was introduced. This is a combination of Zoology, Botany, Physiology, and Hygiene, and bids fair to hold its share of popularity in the curriculum. Page Ninety Mr. Roy Nordby, Instructor PRINTING The R. H. S. Print Shop T HE Rochester High School print shop was started in 1921 with only four students taking this course under the direction of Mr. John Bader. The equipment consisted of a series of type that had been bought second-hand of a resident of this city, one Pearl platten press with an 8x11 chase, one 30 inch paper cutter, a few necessary tools, as the sticks and galleys, a stone, and a cabinet of slugs and leads. In 1923, Mr. Leishman was the instructor. That year very little extra equipment was purchased. In 1924 the large Chandler and Price foot press, and the galley proof press, were purchased. In 1925, there were ten students enrolled under the supervision of Mr. Nordby. The foot press was converted into an electric driven press, and a series of Caslon type was purchased by the school. In 1926, a full series of Cheltenham type, a booklet stitcher, a cut trimmer, a complete line of borders, and an electric plane was added to the outfit.

As the most important student organization in the college, it not only decides matters concerning the entire student body but also the individual problems of the students. By means of this Council, the students and faculty members have more interests in common, and a harmonious feeling is created among them. The Council also acts as an Athletic Advisory Committee, meeting with Super¬ intendent Sanberg and Mr. Swenson, the Junior College Coach. In order that equal represenation may be had by the students and faculty, the Council consists of five members: one representative from both the freshman and sophomore classes, one member representing the student body at large, the dean of men, and the dean of women. Members elected for the last year are: Arthur Graham, freshman member: DeVaughn Jesson, sophomore member: Beatrice Madden, student member at large: Dr. Hilda Lu ndin, dean of women: and Mr. Goddard, dean of men.

Alpha Literary Society T HE Alpha Literary Society was organized in nineteen hundred twenty un¬ der the direction of Dr. Lundin. Each succeeding year, as the college en¬ rollment has grown, the membership of the society has increased. 1 his year it has a membership of almost the entire student body. T he year 1 926-27 has been a very successful one for the organization. The regular meetings of the society are held every third Thursday evening. Convening in the College Assembly Hall, the business meeting precedes the literary program. Then the social hour follows in the gymnasium where music and entertainment of various kinds are enjoyed. Light refreshments are served later. During the last season, the programs have consisted of reports on the lives and works of modern au¬ thors, music, dramatic skits, readings, and speeches. In accordance with the custom of the past, the society, this year, sponsored a Student Mixer, a College Christmas party, an annual picnic, and the all-College Banquet at the close of the year. The officers of the organization are, president, Avanelle Britzius; vice-president, Wilbur Sanberg; secretary, JVlary Elizabeth Terry, treasurer, William Behmler; chairman of program committee, Harry Wheeler; and chair¬ man of the social committee, Myrle Campion. The success of the organization this year is largely due to the able direction of the advisor, Miss Prothers.

The Student Council T HE High School Student Council was organized two years ago with Herbert Leonard at its head. During that year, the students were unaccustomed to it and it did not play an important part in school life. Last year, with Mason Hicks as president, the following officers were elected: Clara Huney, vice-president; Donald Pattison, secretary; and Arthur Graham, treasurer. Ad¬ visors were Miss Snodgrass, Miss Gambill, Miss Drage, and Miss Huney. The purpose of the Council was to promote student activities, to discuss problems of student welfare, and to train students to assume responsibility. It consisted of twenty-two students, representing the three upper classes and various student organizations. The Council was divid¬ ed into five departments: Boosting, property, cal¬ endar, scholarship, and conduct. The boosting committee, with Charles Granger a s chairman, promoted pep-meetings and was responsible for arousing enthusiasm for all student activities of the year. Raymond Schroeder, as chairman of the property commit¬ tee, selected students to maintain the tidiness about the building. Mason Hicks in charge of the calendar commit¬ tee, provided for gener¬ al assembly programs. Our present president, Edward Judd, has ac¬ complished a great deal in leading the students for the accomplishment of the real purpose of this body. The students have carried out the wishes of the majority in upholding the mor¬ ale of the school. They all believe that the hon¬ or system is superior to the old detention meth¬ od. ■ ■ wnT m ■� ■ V I m ■ T 1 I i iU ' p V J 1 1 : V ' Hwa Top Row —Left to Right: Edward Judd, Harriet Quale, Thomas Lawler, Dorothy Roepke, Sylvia Thur- ber, Helen Darcy, Marian Trow, Fulton Perry, Archie Armstrong, Grace Foster.

The Orphean Club T HE ORPHEAN CLUB was organized in Rochester High School in 1922 by Miss Frances Chatburn. As the name implies, it is a musical club started for the benefit of students interested in the musical phase of high school life. The club has a two-fold purpose. Its principle aim is that of musi¬ cal instruction. Regular meetings were held every two weeks.. At these meet¬ ings, the programs were arranged with the idea of presenting instructive mate¬ rial in an interesting manner. Last year, the club members analyzed opera, which was dis¬ cussed from the stand¬ point of its constructive divisions, the story, music, and composer. This year, under the supervision of Miss Church, the study con¬ cerned the music of va¬ rious races and nation¬ alities. Discussion of the different types of music was supplement¬ ed by selections from th native music. Every two months a social meeting was held. The purpose of the meeting was to furnish enter¬ tainment for the club, and to keep the regular meetings for business. New members were ad¬ mitted to the club by tryouts held at various intervals during the year. This year the membership was large, and the club contained many able students. The officers were: Don Johnson, president; Mary Root, vice-presi¬ dent; Louise Wheeler, secretary-treasurer.

At this time, Miss Imogene Lutz, the public speaking instructor, organized this club for the benefit of the students. Officers were elected. Roxie Graham- was president; Bernice Cooke, vice president; Brooke Jesson, secretary: and Merle Dunlap, treasurer. Three Dramatic Club plays were given which were very successful. They were “Miss Civilization,” “The Maker of Dreams,” and “The Romancers.” Membership, the students decided, should be given to all of the Junior Class Play --, great success. Much cast and to anyone else elected after competitive try-outs. Under the leadership of Hawley Sanford, the 1925 Dra¬ matic Club flourished, and again produced three plays: “The Tur¬ tle Dove ' “The Pot Boiler ' and “Where But In America.” With flying colors, the Dra¬ matic Club sailed through 1926 with Miss Gladys Gambill as advisor. The Dramatic Club of 1927 is so far pep and enthusiasm has been shown on the part of the students; the club has greatly in¬ creased in membership. Pins have been secured for the club resembling those of the University of Minnesota “Mas¬ quers. The officers of the club for this year are Evelyn Parkin, pres¬ ident; Marian Pomroy, vice-president; Helen Block, secretary-treas- urer. Page One Hundred One Top Row — Left to Right: Evelyn Parkin.

Debate D EBATE has been an activity in Rochester High School for many years. From the start, a fine school spirit was shown by the great number who tried out, there being an average of thirty students each year. Three debaters were chosen to represent each class. At first, the debates were merely between the classes, various ques¬ tions being debated up¬ on. About eight years ago, Rochester entered the State League. Since then the school has put out teams, the last four having been coached by Miss Lutz, Miss Gam- bill, and Mr. Nelson. Mr. Nelson is a former student of R. H. S. and was on the Debate team of 1914. This year, however, only eight stu¬ dents tried out. Of these, Jacob Richman, Mabel Hammond, and Bertha Kretzschmar were chosen for the first team; Bernice Mansfield, Helen Darcy, and Norman Markle for the second team. The State question this year is: Resolved, That a Department of Educa¬ tion should be estab¬ lished with a Secre¬ tary in the President ' s Cabinet.

Senior Boys’ Glee Club T HE FIRST Senior Boys’ Glee Club was organized in the year 1917. When the club first started, there were some ten or twelve boys working under the supervision of Miss Helen Currier. The organization now has thirty-five members and meets every Tuesday night under the direction of Miss Church. At the meet¬ ings, students practice for entertainments to be given under the auspices of the high school, and study the reading of songs. They become fa¬ miliar with the best composers and their works, and develop an appreciation for the best that the field of music has to offer. Of¬ ficers for this year are: President, Lloyd Fryer; manager, Morris Cooke. The Senior Boys’ Glee Club gave a minstrel show this year in Feb¬ ruary. Among the num¬ bers sung were “Look¬ ing at the World Through Rose Colored Glasses ’ “Ting a Ling,” “That Night in Araby,” and “Baby Face.” Howard Giere was interlocutor and Floyd Fryer, Maurice Dale, Orr Seaman, and Morris Cooke had solo parts. Mr. Evan Fry sang “Cottage Small by a Waterfall.’’ Howard Giere and “Pete’’ Gra¬ ham danced a Spanish tango, and John Oli¬ phant clogged.

Senior Girls’ Glee Club “Sleep, Baby, Sleep” Y ES, THAT’S the Glee Club. Sounds good, doesn’t it? What would a high school do without its Glee Club; providing, as it does, a channel through which students can pour their happiness? Chorus work in Roch¬ ester High has proved successful ever since it was first started, ten years ago. Can¬ tatas and minstrel shows have been given. In the state musical contest, under the direction of Miss Amanda Dolvin, the Glee Club of 1925-1926 won first place for Class B. The test piece was “Stars of a Summer’s Night.’’ The Club also staged a successful Cantata, “Pan on a Summer Day.” A Minstrel Show, a new idea in R. H. S., was put on by Miss Helen Church’s Girls ' and Boys’ Glee Clubs of 1926-27. The Rochester Education Association, Parent- Teachers ' Association. Press Convention, and students in assemblies have been entertained by this year’s songsters. Thanksgiving melodies and carols before Christmas and Easter vacations were sung in the school halls by the Junior- Senior Girls ' Glee Clubs. “Seen and Not Heard,” certainly isn’t our motto! But just turn it around and it will be all right. Glee Club officers for this year were Francis Jos¬ lyn, president; Evelyn Goddard, secretary- treasurer.

Junior Boys’ Glee Club M USIC started with the calls of wild animals and birds. Pythagoras, a great philosopher, introduced the octave system which now makes modern music. From Pythagoras to the Junior Boys’ Glee Club in R. H. S. is a long leap. This organization was begun by Miss Whiting. One day Miss Whiting walked into the assembly and called for volunteers for a Junior Boys’ Glee Club. This was four years ago. For one-half a credit a year, the boys were to meet every Wednesday and Friday. About thirty responded on the next Wednesday at one o’clock. Miss Chatborn was the instructor. The next year Miss Lien was the instructor. They had a splendid glee club this year with about eighteen boys who sang two part music. Next year, 1925, about nine boys were at the first meeting. This increased to about fifteen. Mr. Murr was in charge of the glee club. He induced older boys‘ to sing bass. We then had a four-part glee club. This year found about ten boys at the first meeting. By Christmas time there were about twenty-five hoys. Our instructor is Miss Church. Ev¬ ery other Wed¬ nesday we have Current Events in music. This includes reports on radio concerts that have and will be broad¬ casted, facts o f interest to musi¬ cians, and reports on famous com¬ posers like Bee¬ thoven.

Junior Girls ' Glee Club T HE Junior Girls’ Glee Club was organized nine years ago by Miss Helen Currier, and has been active ever since. During the year 1923-24, Miss Frances Chatborn directed the group. Many members entered the Music Memory Contest that year. The organization under Mrs. Lein’s direction was christened The Schubert Club’’ for 1924-25. It appeared jointly with the MacDowell Club at the Southeastern Teachers’ Meeting. The members took part in the Music Festival of 1925 and the 1926 Operetta Pan on a Summer ' s Day, supervised by Miss Dolvin. Under the direction of Miss Church, the Club sailed through 1926-27 successfully as the Junior Songsters. The purpose of the group was to stimulate interest along musical lines. Current events were read every two weeks to bring the Qlub close to the active musical world. Two concentrated hours a week were spent on such compositions as Brahm’s Lullaby, Cadman’s From the Land of Sky Blue Waters, and Offenbach ' s, Lovely Night. The Songsters made their first public bow of 1926 at the Minnesota Press Convention, sing¬ ing the Chinese air, Chingalu, and MacDowell ' s To a Wild Rose. The Club aided the Senior Glee Clubs in singing Thanks¬ giving, Christ¬ mas, and Easter carols in the school halls. Of¬ ficers for 1926- 27 were: Carol Wolfe, president; Luverne Strifert, secretary and treasurer.

In 1924, again under the direction of Mr. Owen, the membership increased to twenty-five. The following year, Mr. Harold Cooke directed the band; thirty-two members were enrolled. In 1926, Mr. H. L. Murr began his direction of the band, and had to practically make it over. The soloists and best material had graduated. Even with such new material the band has made good progress. This year the band boasted of thirty-five members. In 1926, the band was entered in the State Contest of Music held at the Cities. The soloists were: James Bolwine, French Horn; Evelyn God¬ dard, Tuba; William Eichinger, Saxophone. Some of the engagements which the band has played for are: Decoration Day, American Legion banquets, Foot¬ ball and Basketball games, pep meetings, and assemblies. Members who were selected to play in the Park Band were: Frances Ramme, Don Johnson, William Eichenger, Edward Rosenow, Evelyn Goddard, Floyd Fryer, Lloyd Fryer, Walter Richmond, Paul Echoldt, Ralph Hagaman, Elizabeth Hayet, Hawley Sanford, and James Bolewine.

Senior High Orchestra N INE years ago Miss Currier started the first orchestra of R. H. S. A small but ambitious group furnished the music for banquets, pep meet¬ ings, and the social affairs of the high school. Miss Currier had the orchestra for three years: then Miss Herman took it for two. During the last half of the second year, however, Miss Athen took it over, and as some of us remember, the orchestra under her supervision, played at our class plays, pep meetings, and banquets. She directed it until 1925 when Mr. Harold Cooke turned out the largest and the best balanced musical organization the school had yet had. Mr. H. S. Murr is now supervising the orchestra for his second year. The group is studying hard and is now able to play “The Midsummer Night ' s Dream,” by Mendelssohn. They are also mastering “Ballet Sylvia.” In 1926 the orchestra went to the State Contest. They have intentions of competing again this year. James Bolewine played a horn solo at this contest and was awarded second place. Evelyn Goddard played a tuba solo and received third place. At the district contest, Dorothy Sheard played a piano solo and was awarded second place. Priscilla Wagner, solo violinist in the orchestra, was selected as a member of the National High School Orchestra which played before the convention of the Department of Superintendence of the N. E. A. at Dallas, Texas, February 25-March 7. The orchestra consists of: One flute, one clari¬ net, two cornets, two horns, one trombone, four first violins, five second violins, three violas, two violin cellos, one bass, one pianist.

Junior High School Orchestra M ANY of the players in the Junior High School Orchestra receive their instruction in the Saturday morning classes that were organized last year. The orchestra began the school year with over twenty players, but as players became more efficient on their instruments, they were immedi¬ ately promoted to the Senior High School Orchestra. The plan was beneficial to the Senior High School Orchestra and kept the Junior High School Orches¬ tra players at their highest pitch of effort.

E. S. JUDD athletes enjoyed none of the fine equipment and facilities which we n o w have. R. H. S. had no gymnasium so football and baseball were the only organized sports. In ' 97 football was newly organ¬ ized and it rapidly began to take the place of base¬ ball which had been played I N the early days of R. H. S. athletics, our I N for several previous years. In those “pioneer ' ’ days of athletics, when truly “men were men,” players were judged not by their open field ability, but by their endurance, because for¬ ward passes were unknown and end runs infrequent; playing the game consisted of an unbroken series of smashing line plays which tested the endurance of every player. It was not infrequent that players were removed from the game with broken noses, collar bones, wrists, and less frequently, legs. R. H. S. had no regular football field, but most of the contests took place at the old Fair Grounds as it was the only place easily secured. The customary football equip¬ ment was padded pants, sweaters with collars extending well under the ears, heavy socks, old shoes without cleats, and no head gear of any kind. ( 1 his explains why the players went without hair cuts during the football season.) The School Board had made no provision for an athletic director, so all the instruction the team received concerning the fundamentals of the game came directly from a little rule book. At that time the players enjoyed more liberties of action than players do now. It seems to have made little difference how the ball was carried over the goal line as long as it was carried over. From the time the ball was passed back by the center to the time it was downed, every man had to look out for himself. A touchdown counted four points and a try after touchdown, two. The first team to represent R. H. S. was the ’97 squad, captained by E. S. Judd, who, with his teammates, Niel Judd, Ralph Blethen, Bunn Wilson, Homer VanCampen, Francis Madden, Tom Emerson, Carl Cole, Louis Peck, Paul Fuller, Harry Doran, Major Seckerson, and several others carried on a very successful first season. R. H. S. confined her athletic activities to a few smaller neighboring towns in a vicinity of about thirty miles. Instead of chartering a ninety horse power bus to take them to the game, they chartered a two or four horse power rig and arrived at the field just in time to begin the game. After the game, they had to start home without a refreshing shower. Our most dangerous rival was the husky St. Charles eleven, but our team led by t he plucky captain beat them in two games. Page One Hundred i.Thirty-four Junior College Football T HE 1926 football season was opened for the Junior College with the ap¬ pearance of a real coach, “Koon Swenson, for three years all-State end at St. Olaf. He found plenty of hard work in store for him, however, with only two letter men returning to the squad. Captain “Bobs” Miland and Ted Mel- linger, center and full back, were the veterans to form the nucleus of the tea m, augmented b y high school stars from Rochester and the vicinity. After strenu¬ ous practice in the fun¬ damentals, the squad was ready for Mason City. The Yellow Jack¬ ets played a great game, and got the jump on the visitors, to win, 20- 2. The high light of the game was a spectacular 60 yard run by Mellinger, when he interrupted a pass and galloped for a touch¬ down with perfect interference. The next week the Rochester Junior College out-played the strongest Waldorf team in years, and gained a hard fought victory, 7 to 0. Luther College of St. Paul was the next victim, and Rochester upset the dope to win, 6 to 3. Luther scored in the first few minutes on a drop kick, and the locals were forced to fight an uphill battle. Time and again, the desperate defense of the invaders held when a score seemed certain, but Giere picked up a fumble and raced for the winning touchdown. At Mankato the team ran into old man hard luck, and blocked punts coupled with the terrific line plunging of De Rosia spelled defeat. 22 to 0. Rochester put up a gallant fight, holding stubbornly at crucial moments, but Mankato ' s recovery of blocked punts over Rochester ' s goal line brought victory. The absence of Quale at quarter-back, due to an injury, was a further handicap. St. Cloud came to Rochester with a team of big, experienced men. and set out to give the locals a neat drubbing. Rochester seemed to lack fight, until the last quarter, when the Blue and Gold staged one of the greatest comebacks ever seen on Mayo Field. 1 he visitors defense crumbled under the powerful attack that marched the length of the field for a touchdown after seeming hopelessly beaten, and only the shortness of time stopped the Second Big Parade. Although the score was 28 to 7 the team had shown themselves able to come back fighting. At Shattuck. the two teams played on an even footing: a scoreless tie seeming certain, until Shattuck scored in the closing minutes on a long pass. The sciuad was weakened by the absence of Taylor, Armstrong, and Jesson. on account of injuries. The final game was played against last year ' s champs at Winona. cfore a large homecoming crowd. The field was covered with mud from melting snow, but despite the handicap it was the hardest fought and closest game of the year. Though Winona had the advantage in the first half, and Rochester the edge in the second, neither side could score, and the game ended Page Otic Hundred Thirty-jive Junior College Football (Continued) 0 to 0. As a whole, the coach and the squad de¬ serve a word of commen¬ dation. With a line up av¬ eraging only 160 pounds, the team played among other four year schools of up to ten times the enroll¬ ment and went through the season with a percent¬ age of five hundred. Al¬ though there were no par¬ ticular stars on the squad, several individuals deserve mention. R e n e a u x, at guard, was placed on the Captain Miland all-conference team, while Mellinger made the second team as quarter back. Cap¬ tain-elect, Swanson, also showed a stellar brand of football in his ability at end in catching passes. Nicholson gained a lot of ground with his speed at half-back. All in all, we believe each man on the squad, not forgetting the scrubs, went through the year in a highly commen¬ dable fashion.

Page One Hundred Thirty-six Junioi College Basketball W ITH three lettermen and several former high school basket¬ ball stars reporting for practice, the Junior Col¬ lege looked forward to a successful season. Its hopes weic fulfilled with but one exception, the losing of the state championship by the margin of one point The regular squad which consisted of eleven men was composed of: Mellin- ger, Stolp (Capt.), Swan¬ son, Gibson, Schroeder, Blakeslee, Starz, Otterness. Sanberg, Laska, and Ol¬ son. The opening of the season was featured by the inter-class games, the Freshman romping off with honors winning both games by quite large mar¬ gins. The first game of the season was played against Pillsbury which resulted in a victory for the locals to the tune of 32-15. A week later, Ma¬ son City fell before the strong Rochester offense Captain Slolp and was at the small end of a 28-19 score. Following the Christmas holidays, we won our first Conference game by defeating Winona in a close game on our opponents’ floor, 29-24. Invading Iowa the following week-end, we re¬ turned with the scalps of Mason City and Waldorf after defeating them 24-17 and 24-20 respectively. St. Cloud arrived in Rochester having high hopes of a victory, but were forced to accept 22 points to Rochester’s 26 tallies. This game was featured by the close guarding of Mellinger in particular who held the St. Cloud star, Keyte, to two lone field goals. Mankato and Rochester, considered the strongest teams in the Conference, met on the local floor, and Rochester again kept its slate clean, handing the invaders a defeat of 31-28.

Page One Hundred Thirty-seven Two days later, the squad journeyed to Owatonna where the Pillsbury cagers were forced to accept another defeat, 28-17. We next defeated Winona on the local floor 34-25, and the following week subdued St. Cloud on their floor 35-30. The first defeat of the season came after a rough game with the Mankato quint in their small gym, when we lost by one point, the score being 19-18. Winona having handed Mankato a defeat in a previous battle, Rochester was given the right to play Virginia, champions of the range, for the cham¬ pionship of the Little Ten Conference. The game was played on the local armory floor. After a thrilling game, acclaimed by many to be the most thrilling basketball classic ever seen on a local floor, Virginia won 34-33. During the entire year, there was a commendable spirit of co-operation and en¬ thusiasm evident among the whole squad. There was no outstanding star and every man came through with points when they were most needed. During the season, the Rochester team established an enviable record by winning ten games straight, and had a total of 343 points to its credit, its opponents, 270. A large share of the success of the team is d ue to the clever tactics and unusual ability of its coach, “Coon” Swenson, who is recognized as one of the leading basketball mentors of the Little Ten Conference. R. J. C. Track-1926 The outstanding sporting event of the year 1926 was the capture of state track honors by Rochesters ' famous six man track team, serving as a fit¬ ting climax to end the career of Coach Singley in a blaze of glory. Schultz, King, Towey, Diedrich, Amundson, and Heyerdale carved their names in his¬ tory by beating St. Cloud by one-half point for the championship in the first meet ever held by the local school. The final count was Rochester 33 2. St. Cloud 33. Of the 33 points, 29 were gathered by four men—a truly re¬ markable achievement against a fast field of track stars. Captain “Bob” Schultz was individual high point man by capturing first in the century and 220, and taking the winning half point by tying for third in the broad jump. Towey won the low hurdles, and took second in the pole vault. King placed first in the pole vault, and third in the high jump, while Diedrich won first honors in the broad jump. Amundson, with a second in the shot put, and Heyerdale. with a third in the javelin throw, completed the scoring. The most sensational time of the meet was Schultz’s 220, which he ran in 22.8, setting a record. Towey also set a record in the 220, low hurdles, as did Diedrich and King in the broad jump and pole vault. Schultz tied his record in the 100 yard dash. These records are the more remarkable because of the slow track. Other men who competed for Rochester were: Jesson and McGovern, high hurdles: McGovern low hurdles: Mellinger and Sader, half mile: and Gates and Blakeslee, mile. The meet was spectacular in many records: Gates and Blakeslee, in par¬ ticular, giving the crowd a thrill by their determined fight against an entry list that overwhelmingly outclassed them. All in all. the event will long be re¬ membered with pride by the Rochester Junior College. Great credit to Coach Singley who was responsible for developing these stars. Page One Hundred Thirty-eight R. H. S. Football C oach nordly was graduated from Carleton College, Northfield, Minnesota. He majored in economics, and received his degree. He par¬ ticipated in athletics, earn¬ ing letters in three sports. Coach Nordly earned three letters in football, playing at quarter or half, making the all-state team one year, and also the mythical all¬ midwest team one year. In the winter he turned to basketball, playing for- baseball services. Upon his graduation he was retained as an assistant coach in football and baseball, and as freshman basketball coach. Coach Nordly is a native of Red Wing where he participated in high school athletics, and where he received his high school diploma. With the thermometer hovering around eighty degrees above zero, Coach Nordly, with his candidates for football hon¬ ors. began the season’s work at Mayo Field. With a large number of last year’s regulars and most of the reserve material graduated at the Spring exercises. Coach Nordly was faced with a difficult task. But setting to work with a will, and using the hot weather as a conditioner, he molded together, in two weeks time, a team that defeated Cresco, Iowa 12 to 0 on September 1 8 at Mayo Field. On October 2, the fast and big team of La Crosse came to Rochester, and were turned back scoreless while the Red and Black cornered 1 3 points in a hard fought battle. The Crimson tide of Austin, one of the biggest and fast¬ est teams in Minnesota, came to Mayo Field to avenge their defeat last year. The light Red and Black team, playing a purely defensive game, held the Packers to a scoreless tie. The Packers had possession of the ball the greater part of the game. Bon- dauk, Austin’s quarter, tried five drop kicks, but was unsuccessful in making the ball cross the bar. Austin’s team was composed of veterans of three years standing, while Coach Nordly’s team had five new men in its ranks. October 22, Red Wing, Coach Nordly’s na¬ tive town, was invaded by Coach Nordly and his warriors. Still suffering from the Austin fray, the team was slow in getting started. Red Wing took advantage of this, and con- Rooter Ray Bunge Page One Hundred Thirty-nine Rooter Stan Ruth Coach Nordly ward, which position he held for four years. For two years he captained the team, leading it to victory in many hard fought con¬ tests. He made the mythi¬ cal all-state team for three years, and made the all¬ midwest team one year. The spring found Coach Nordly participating i n baseball, in which he played second base. In 1924 he was the leading Carleton batter. He was given four letters for his 0 R. H. S. Football (Continued) verted a fumble into three points. With an awakened spirit of fight, backed by the loyal support of the fans that followed the team, the Red and Black gridders staged a rally, netting two touchdowns, and points after touchdown. Schroeder, accompanied by splen¬ did interference, dashed through left tackle for the first touchdown. A few minutes later, Eaton intercepted a pass, and amid wonderful interference, sidestepped, stiff armed, and pivoted his way to a touchdown. Benike drop-kicked for both points after the touch¬ downs. Score: R. H. S. 14: R. W. H. S. 3. Journeying to Mankato October 30, the team suffered a relapse, and went down to a stinging defeat to the score of 22 to 0. Brockmeyer was the outstanding player on Mankato’s team. Captain Wood also in the backfield was effective and was a close second for high honors. Re¬ turning again to their home field, the Red and Black battered and weary war¬ riors clashed with the green clad Faribault pigskin chasers. Rochester had innumerable chances to score, but lacked the spirit and punch to put the ball over the last white line. Frutiger and Bob Miner played well for the Red and Black. T he Green Fairies were light and fast, and were a constant threat at all times. The whole Faribault team played well as a unit. The game resulted in a scoreless tie, the second of the season. With light practices on the schedule of routine week days, the team regained its spirit and fight, and gained a rest of much need. On November 1 1, came the Armistice day classic, with Winona as opponents, a defeat of 6 to 0 of the previous year to wipe out. Coach Bowe’s men, with a record of no defeats in two years, had the news¬ paper advantage. Playing on an ice covered field, the chances of the R. H. S., were slim indeed; with the Winonians outweighing the locals. The Red and Black playing a conservative offense and a fast, rushing, heady defense, made and secured the breaks that netted them two touchdowns. Winona was a threat at all times, using “Pink” Brown constantly in an endeavor to save their record of two years standing. Being the last game that many of the fellows played for the R. H. S., they made it a worth while one, and climaxed the season with a game that many of them will never forget. Harold Frutiger V ERNON ROWLAND, Deacon. Quarter.

Cresco, Iowa was next on the schedule, but after the team had traversed half the distance, the snow drifted roads became im¬ passible and the game was cancelled. This year, for the first time in many years, the Red and Black played the alumni. It was a hard fought affair. The youngsters tried desperate¬ ly to defeat their older and more experienced predecessors, but they were not destined to win. The alumni held the long end of the 16-19 score. In the alumni line up were: Bill Crad¬ dock, Whitey Nicholson, Jack Eberts, Royal Nunamaker, Bob Arter, Glenn Fordham, Fay Alexander, Art Rieter, and Hayes Dansingburg. On December 19, Dodge Center was met and defeated 45-11. The entire squad saw service. Upon short notice, the Nordlymen mixed with the White men of Chatfield and emerged victorious. On January 15, La Crosse was invaded. The team was not up to par, and was handed a stinging defeat 31-15. La Crosse dis¬ played a fast and heady brand of basketball. Winona, Rochester ' s ancient and bitter rival, was next engaged in a hard fought, thrilling battle, with the crowd held in suspense until the final gun. Two fouls by Benike and a basket by Eaton gave the Red and Black a 21-19 victory. Rochester suffered its second defeat of the year at the hands of the Langstermen of Austin, 12-20. In a return game with Chatfield, Nordly’s smooth floor performers added a victory to their list 21-8. Inability to make free throws and short shots cost the quint a defeat in the second game with Winona 13-14. In the return contest with Austin, Langster s crimson clad warriors showed their superiority over the diminutive Queen Citians by a 28-13 score. The District Tournament, won by Winona, ended the basketball season in R. H. S. It was held March 3rd and 4th in the high school gymnasium. In the opening round, Mantorville defeated Chatfield 18-14; Kasson defeated Plainview; St. Charles defeated Dodge Center; Winona defeated Lewiston; and Rochester won from Man¬ torville. In the semi-finals, Winona defeated Kasson, and Rochester defeated St. Charles. In an overtime period, Kasson defeated St. Charles in the con¬ solation game. Displaying nothing but adverse form, Rochester was defeated by Winona for the district championship 12-15. The sportsmanship trophy went to Coach Curley Swanson s Kassonites. Members of the team are Captain Eaton, F., Benike, F., Schwarz, F., Rowland, C., Harvey, C. G. F., Schroeder, G. F., Sternberg, G., VanCampen, G., Eberts, G. Rowland, Eaton! Schwarz will return as a nucleus for next year ' s team. Hargesheimer of the reserves is also a promising player. C LEAN playing and good sportsmanship were big factors in the success of the R. H. S. basketball season. Coach Nordly, due to an eleventh hour change in schedule, was given three days in which to mold a team to face the basketeers of Lew¬ iston. Four letter men and three reserves answered his urgent call, and Lewis¬ ton was given the short end of the ’21-13 score.

This sport, which was intro¬ duced in our school by Coach Fred Oster in the year 1923 and 24, is making rapid strides in coming to the front as a great body builder and recrea¬ tional sport. With the return of two letter men, Captain Joe Edwards and ex-Captain Harold Frutiger, and three experienced men: Leo Lenihan, Milton Reneaux, and Kenneth Guyse, Coach Morgenson had five men around which to build his team.

R. H. S. gave the local team a sound beating. The Saints, smarting with defeat, arranged for a return game, in which they would revenge. As it was the first game which the majority of Rochester people had an opportunity to witness, the Fair grounds was packed with loyal boosters for our team. On the way to this now historic game. Bun Wilson and Homer Van Campen sug¬ gested the school colors which we still have to-day: red for victory, black for defeat. Ac¬ cordingly, a red and black war banner was fastened to the goal post by an enterprising rooter. When the teams lined up. the referee, then called umpire, laid down the law stressing the fact that no tackling should be done below the knees or about th shoulders. Then the game began. And such a game it was! The play consisted of line bucks, off tackle plays, and a few end runs. During the first half, there being only two periods in the game with a short rest be¬ tween. both teams fought desperately and with determination. For awhile, it looked as if the first half would end without either team scoring. In the last five minutes of the half, after a vigorous attack of smashing line plunges, a burly “Saint” carried the ball for a touch¬ down but failed to kick goal. Thus at the end of the first half the score was Rochester 0, St. Charles 4. After a short rest our doughty captain, assisted by wonderful teamwork, smashed into the line and was stopped only after he had placed the pigskin over the white line. One of the teammates kicked goal. Score: Rochester 6, St. Charles 4. Pane One Hundred Fifty-one Girls’ Athletics M ISS TOWNSEND, director of Girls’ Athletics, has proved to be a very capable and enthusiastic promoter of girls’ athletics. She was graduated from the State Teachers’ college of Cedar Falls, Iowa. She is very fond of her work and en¬ joys being with young girls. Under her instruc¬ tion, many girls have passed various athletic tests. Her plan, to further the ideals of good sports- High and Senior High. Evelyn Towey was first in Junior High, and Marion Pomroy in Senior High. Aside from the regular calisthenics, folk dances, and games, the high school girls have had two tournaments to play off. The Bas¬ ketball tournament was won by the two upper grades: The freshman in Junior High, and the seniors in Senior High. The volleyball tournament followed later with stiff battles for all grades. A Gym Demonstration in March, giving the public an idea of what we do in gym. was the formal ending of the gym work this year. In swimming, many of the girls passed their swimmers’ test, and fourteen of them went on to take extra work in the special Life Saving Class to become either a junior or senior life saver. The work in Swimming ended in an Inter-class Swimming Meet. Four senior girls, all prominent in girls’ athletics, won their R. H. S. monograms this year by earning the required number of points. The points were earned in Swimming, Hiking, Skating, Skiing, and Tennis: and in being, in general, good all around athletes. These girls were: Grace Foster, Edna NJaass, Helen Thomas, and Harriet Quale. This year, athletics for girls, more than ever before, have been recognized as having an important place in the school curriculum. Interest in this phase of school work is growing, among the girls who participate and among the student body in general, as illustrated by the enthusiastic turn-outs for the bas¬ ketball and volleyball games. Miss Townsend manship, has proved very successful during her first year in R. H. S. “Class attention! Ready for roll call!’ ' It’s a gym class and we are going to have a triple test. Much emphasis has been placed in posture work this year, with a triple test each semester. A Posture Contest added much enthusiasm to the work. The most perfect posture in each grade was chosen and finally the most perfect posture in Junior Page One Hundred Fifty-two Left to Right—Doris Baatz, Ruth Puryear, Dorothy Root, Helen Darcy, Mildred Gass, Grace Foster, Edna Maass, Amy Logan, Edith Laws, Helen Thomas, Harriet Ouale, Helen Block, Betty Pattison. Girls’ Life Saving Corps T HE aim of the Red Cross Life Saving Corps is to endeavor to eliminate the preventable loss of life caused by drowning by: correlating and dis¬ seminating information on water safety; by devising systems of protection, prevention, rescue and resuscitation; by organizing local Life Saving Corps charged with definite patrol and instruction service; and by giving leadership to co-operating organizations having facilities for carrying on the instruction in water safety methods. Girls’ Life Saving Tests were first introduced in Rochester High School during the year 1925-26. Special life-saving instruction was ad¬ equately given by Mrs. Lingley and Mrs. Morganson. Under their instruction, eleven girls passed the National Red Cross Life Saving tests. This year a spe¬ cial life saving class has been organized under the instruction of Miss Town¬ send, and before this school year has closed many more girls will have won their life-saving emblems. One must go through intensive training in order to pass either a Junior or Senior test. One who belongs to the American Red Cross can feel that he is doing something worth while to better the existing conditions of his country. The Rochester High School girls who belong to the American Red Cross Life Saving Corps are as follows: Doris Baatz, Ruth Puryear, Dorothy Root, Helen Darcy, Mildred Cass, Grace Foster, Edna Maass, Amy Logan, Edith Laws. Helen Thomas, Harriet Quale, Helen Block, Betty Pattison. Page One Hundred Fifty-three Top Row —Left to Right: Myrtle Dahle, Harriet Ouale, Marion Cadwell, Marguerite Dashaw, Garnet White.

SENIOR HIGH GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM Senior High Basketball O N the first day of the tournament, the juniors won a decisive victory over the sophomores. They outplayed the sophomores all the way through the game. The score was 13 to 3. On the contrary, the juniors had a real fight with the seniors. The game was close throughout, and both teams seemed to search in vain for openings. Both teams battled diligently until the final whistle was blown. This ended the match with the score 11 to 9 in favor of the seniors. They were presented the loving cup given to R. H. S. in 1922. They were coached by Miss Townsend, director of Girls’ Athletics. The sophomore team was composed of Dorothy Kruger, Captain, J. C.; Evelyn Jones, R. C.; Ruth Puryear, G.; Dorothy Mosing, G.; Edna Larsen, F.; Emily Gustine, F.; Dorothy Wilcox, Gre tchen Brown.

S. alumni in reply to letters sent out by the editor-in-chief, is this one from Dr. H. N. Miner of BlueCanyon,California, class of ' 78: Dear Miss Louise Heyerdale, of the Rochester High School: I was of the class of 78, a lone lad in a bunch of ten lassies. 1 hat was June, forty-nine years ago. I remember my eyes were wet for many days. Once I stole back to the old seat and desk and had my cry out. Who took Who?” Did I take the bunch or the bunch take me? After the parties, we all stuck together. There were Louise and Mamie Cook, Chickie Cowles, Ida Harkness, Hattie Waite, Louise Pierce, Flora Moulton, Kate Woodworth, Alice Woodward, one I can’t remember and myself. Louise Cook was my favorite until Charlie Allen teased her from me. I had the valedictory and forgot my speech in the middle. Those were sure great days, not all happiness, not all sadness, some comedy and some tragedy. I should like very much to know something of the fortunes, good and bad, of the old class. Maybe some are living in Rochester and you could find them. Please may I have a copy of the ’ Rochet?” Wishing you and your class much success and the old Rochester High School years of usefulness, Yours very sincerely, H. N. MINER. R. H. S.

Jfter 25 years of growth how a nation-wide shopping service TOURING the year 1927 we will celebrate with pride and thankfulness, our Twenty-fifth or Silver Anniversary—with pride for the privilege of serving the American public—with thankfulness for the generous response that has come to our effort. Since April 14 , 1902 , when Mr. Penney started in an incon¬ spicuous way, a Retail Shopping Service which was destined to become one of Nation-wide Helpfulness, a quarter of a century has passed. It has been a period of notable growth, of winning millions of friends, of serving them faithfully, of basing achievement upon the good will of mutual satisfaction. At this milepost in our history, we pause only long enough to express our thanks to the great American people for their continued confidence and appreciation of our efforts in their behalf and to offer the assurance that in the future as in the past, we shall strive to serve not only well but better and better with each succeeding business day.

Take the case of Mr. Blank: Blank was on the track team at school. He had average physique— nothing to brag about, long and skinny, inclined to be slightly knock-kneed. At the start of the season he hap¬ pened to read a story about the health value of milk. He asked the coach about it, but didn’t get much informa¬ tion. However, the lad kept on—making milk and milk products a strong factor in each day’s diet. In two months he surpassed the entire city’s athletes and broke the local record in the broad jump! This story is entirely authentic. It has been paralleled in many places. Now coaches everywhere stress the value of milk as a maker of champions and vigorous men in all walks of life. Milk builds resistance to disease; it furnishes energy and life to the body—it digests easily and quickly, and it is the most inexpensive of foods.

You don’t get much for your money if you invest too much of it in pleasures or other things of temporary value. Have as much legitimate fun as you can while you are young, but at the same time, remember that when age creeps upon you and your earning power is gone, you should have something to fall back upon. Don’t depend upon making a lucky strike. The average person docs not get his money in that way, blit rather by careful and systematic saving. After you once start saving regularly it is easy. Don’t put it off. We will be glad to help you work out a systematic savings system. See us any time. UNION NATIONAL BANK ROCHESTER.
