Used as a standard of comparison, the school, perhaps, is referred to more than any other public facility. It is with a wholesome and genuine feeling of pride that Virginia points to its school buildings and property as one of the finest school systems in the country. We, the graduating class of 1932, express our gratitude by dedicating our yearbook to the Board of Education, the body of men who are responsible for our superior educational advantages.

CR ,V ' 41, - fa Foreword The vastness, the mystery, and the reality of our north woods has found expression in countless num- bers of beautiful poems and living novels which have been dedicated to this Land of the Northwest. The ad- venture, thrills, s cngth, and power of the woods fur 1' through the creators' veins like a brooklet in the woods, enlarging and swelling as it rolls along. Our book is like the North Star, shedding a soft light on the ever-changing life it has viewed and standing as a guide to the wan- derer when he looks back for a record of his high school days. is 'Vi The Argument We, in the North Country, live in the envelopment of a gigantic moral power. We continually feel its inspirational arm around us, guiding our thoughts through clean, pure channels. An unreplaceable asset, it is the mecca of the tired body and the troubled mind, wafting away the worldly ills of people by its peaceful, healing beauty-the North Woods.

May each of you enjoy to the fullest the teaching of the great out- doors. To young and old alike, She speaks a various language. My wish for each of you is that she will always be a stimulating tonic for the solution of your life problems. Sincerely, R. H. BROWN Superintendent Graduates- Our present danger comes from a philosophy of individualism motivat- ed by selfishness. Too many people are grasping for happiness irrespec- tive of others. The final result must be unhappiness for all. Remember- you cannot be happy if the rest of the world is unhappy. Work and hon- esty can never be replaced as requi- sites to happiness. E. H. BOSSHARDT Principal .4 ' MEMBERS OF THE CLASS GRADUATING in June, 1932, from the depths of this economic depres- sion may I presume to offer a word of encouragement to you who have been walking darkly in the gloom for two years. Your schooling has taught you that there is a rhythm in the work- ings of nature and the achieve- ments of man. The tide ebbs and flows, seasons come and go, history and fashions repeat themselves, plagues and depressions co.me and leave. So, my friends, take heart, realize that this financial gloom will, too, by the rhythmic laws of nature, fade into the light of certainty, confi- dence, and security. You, as graduates, will have the privilege of sharing the opportunities ahead. LORENA MAOFARLANE Dean of Girls To the Graduates-- In The Tower of London, carved in a stone wall, are these words, To Live Without a Dream-what is it? Their author is unknown, yet they have in- spired thousands. Our histories contain the names of men and women who have achieved greatness, because they were actuated by a dream, an ideal, a pur- pose. Columbus dreamed, and gave the world America, Lincoln dreamed of States truly United, with freedom for all, Mohamet dreamed, and a re- ligion was born. These words emphasize a truth of profound importance. We all aspire to achieve, to succeed, to win the re- spect of our fellow men. The implica- tion is obvious. Plan your life-estab- lish your goal. It will be the most significant step of your life. NEWMAN E. OLSON Dean of Boys Page Scvcntccn Page lfiglvlcnz The English department is one of the most necessary for a happy and useful life. Through this department, one gains an appreciation of better literature, the ability to read with intelligence, and the knowledge ne- cessary to express oneself well. No matter what one's future occupation may be, the study of English is es- sential. TOP ROW--Mfrs Dunn, Mist Sifker. Miss Rhoda, BOTTOM Row---Misx Gufbmndson, Mm Ogfen. Misx Runnels, Misx Zeidfer. So that each individual may gain a better knowledge of his community and that in the future he may be of some value to his community, social sciences are taught. The courses cover the social conditions and the relations and institutions which are involved in man's existence and well- being as a member of an organized society. TOP R0w'4Mr. Ofmn.

Miss Fifk, In the Domestic Science depart- ment, the subjects of child care. marketing, budgets, home furnish- ings, food selection, clothing, and tex- tiles arc taught in order to prepare students for worthy home member- ship. The Study Hall has been es- tablished in order to help students form better habits of study. In the libraryginteresting records of other men's thoughts and deeds, past and present, ,may be perused. Mm Arlandcr, Mr. Smilb. Min Pelcrfon, In order to develop individual cre- ative ability and to aid the student to choose the career to which he is best suited, the shops have been es- tablished. Students are taught the historical as well as the mechanical phases of the subjects. Many of the articles made in the classes are put to practical useg for example, in the printing department, school publica- tions and commercial forms are pre- pared. TOP Row-Mr. Wick. Mr. Flagg, Mr. jorgrnmn, Mr, Bzmtrofk. BOTTOM Row---Mr, Muc1lrr,Mr. Potlxmith, Mr. Wir-land, Mr. Fufton. For the further development of the sense of beauty and appreciation, the departments covering the languages and art and music have been institut- ed. These subjects, as presented to- day, are ethical because they are character builders, cultural, because they contain the elements which de- velop refinementg esthetical, because they express beauty, and intellectual, because they keep the mind active.

Natural sciences are essential to the life of every man, for through science one gains a knowledge of higher truths, principles, and causes. Science enables one to apply the fun- damental laws to daily work and life. All phases of natural sciences are covered by the science department of Roosevelt High School so that each student ,may find the one in which he is most interested. TOP ROW-Min Barrows, Mis: Aure, Mix: Ambrofe. BOTTOM Row-Mr. Rapr, Mr. Oman, The commercial department is one that prepares for such stenographic and clerical positions as are on the high school level and gives a founda- tion for further training along many lines. The mathematics courses offer- cd here are Plane Geometry, Solid Geometry, and Higher Algebra. What science can there be more noble, more excellent, more useful, more admirably high and demonstra- tive, than this of mathematics 7 TOP ROW-Min Smith, Mr. Pike, Min Hfest. BOTTOM ROW-Min Henning, Miss Mark- uv, Misx Curry. In order to ,maintain standards of superior sportsmanship and for the highest development of physical Well- being, the Roosevelt High School has established a fully equipped physical education department.

Outstanding in their accomp- lishments was the successful completion of a con- structive project. Previous projects had, as a rule, pertained to, or affected, only the classes which were sponsoring them. Lower classmen usually had the impression that the seniors were operating a project, but the undertaking never seemed to reach their ears. Courtesy was the theme of the undertaking pro- moted by the mid-year graduates. It was an assured success from the beginning because it made the school think on an all-important subject-courtesy, or Think of others-then yourself. A contest, con- ducted to determine who were the most courteous boy and girl in the two senior classes, resulted in the selection of Raymond LaFond as the most courteous boy and Carol Hanson as the most courteous girl. All Senior High School classes with the exception of the 10B's were invited to cast their ballot, with only members of the two senior classes eligible for nom- ination. In a special Senior Courtesy issue of the Star of the North, cuts illustrating points in courtesy were printed. In this same issue, a member of the class outlined Senior A accomplishments in the following article- As we, the graduating class of 1932, look back along the path which we have followed steadily for three years, we get a clear view of all of our accomp- lishments and activities. A large percent of the boys as well as many girls have shown their prowess in swimming, basketball, hockey, football, and soccer. Katherine Bergeson and Champ Oliver have gar- nered awards in declamatory contests. Our class also put on the assembly play, The Revolt. Many have been members of the Entre Nous, Girls' Forensic Club, Hae-W, Hi-Y, and Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs. Those who have taken journalism and who have been on the news staff have done worthy work for our school paper. We have adopted a project of courtesy which we have endeavored to put into practice. All in all, we feel justified in saying that our three years have been outstanding in personalities and works. in the panel-Min' Dunn, advirerg Raymond LaFond, preridentg An- geline Znameroxki, vice-president, Mark Richards, :ecretaryg Marguerite Hill, treasurer.

Page Twenly-xeven c 'l'n'rrrly-eigffl June l932 Graduates With a proud record behind them, the June Class of 1932 writes finis to their high school career. Their aim, To promote a high standard of school citizen- ship, was realized by the successful operation of the class project. This project was drawn up by the class ofiicers and the advisory board, consisting of Louise Hejda, Anne Richards, and Alvin Johnson. A tang- ible means of presenting the project was accomplished by conducting contests in the various phases of school citizenship. The different phases were divided into six sec- tions. Constructive citizenship measures promoted by individual classes were deemed worthy of highest rank. Five hundred points was given to the class advancing the most constructive measures toward higher ethics, character, and school spirit. A com- mittee composed of the superintendent of schools, the principal, the dean of girls, the dean of boys, and the librarian judged the merits of each project presented by the different classes. Each class presented a written report to the committee with these addi- tional aspects: outstanding accomplishments, either individual or as a group, such as a state championship in declamation, participation in class assemblies, or any other service to the school which has not other- wise been given recognition. The second phase is scholarship. Each month the class having the highest percentage of its mem- bers on the honor roll and the class having the lowest percentage of failures receive twenty-five points to- wards their grand total. Second place is honored with ten points. Athletics constitutes the third phase. The project reads We appreciate the value of ath- letics in expressing the active, aggressive side of school citizenship. Points may be accumulated by repre- sentation on various teams and winning ath- letic contests. Fourth, fifth, and sixth phases are for- ensic, musical, and journalistic activities. Points scored were based on representation and competition in both boys' and girls' sections. The citizenship award will consist of a plaque, to be presented to the winning class each year. The award is made by the principal at the class night exercises. l In the panel-Miss Gulbrandson, advixerg Robert Johnson, president, Wilber!

A slow smile peers forth And brightens a class of diligent students. Twelve B Class One advisor once remarked that each new grad- uating class seemed to be more ambitious than any preceding class. Already the new Seniors are veri- fying this statement by adopting a School Spirit pro- ject. School Spirit does not necessarily mean the wild exclamations at a competitive contest. The term is indefinable, but what it symbolizes is continually being sought. The class has interpreted School Spirit partially as better attendance at and better support of all extra-curricular activities. Activities included in the list are: debate, extemporaneous con- tests, declamation, football, basketball, track, hoc- key, and swmiming events. Enrolled in the class are: Mary Alar, Jerry.

Page Forty-three f 5 Page Forty-four Eleven A Class The preparation of a creed of speech was the pro- ject of the Eleven A class. The Junior Class adopted that project because they believe that good speech is a vital factor contributing to the success of every in- dividual. They believe, furthermore, that: Better speech is an aid to clear expression. The youth of today must set an example of good speech to every- one. It is known that a person's culture and training are in a large measure determined by his manner of speech, that: Better speech should be practised every- where and at all times, that: The promotion of better speech means elimination of slang, wrong forms, and vulgarity from all conversation.

The effort concerned not so much the actual saving of coins but rather the conservation of school property. Realizing the students' disregard of school pro- perty, this class, through personal discourse and com- mittee example, attempted to make the nine hundred members of Roosevelt High School property-consci- ous, The aim was to have the student take greater care in using books, lockers, desks, and other school property.

This work of tree planting is c o r r e 1 a t e d to the tree planting activity of t h e Washington Bi-Centennial Commission. The Virginia Forestry Club kindly offered its assist- ance to the 10A's as to the getting of trees, and in finding suitable spots for planting the trees.

Ten B Class Bearing in mind that the beginning determines largely thc end, the 10B's instituted a project which would create a higher standard of school citizenship among the students of their own class. Introduction to the new levels of school citizenship was made by various committees named in the spring. Committees were formed to instruct students in the proper care and use of the school library, to cut down if possible, in the number of 10B absences, to improve sophomore behavior in the study hall, at lockers, and in the corridors, to improve the scholar- ship in the class, to see that all 10B report cards are called for and returned promptly and regularly, to prepare posters pertinent to the above work. In such manner, the 10B class took its place on a new and higher plane of school citizenship. Members of the class are: M. Aaseng, S. Abrahamson, M. Alar, N. Altobelli, E. Anderson, V. Anderson, J. Angellar, E. Axelson, F. Babiracki, M. Belland, G. Berttula, L. Bloomquist, R. Blazing, A. Boho, H. Bonicatto, M. Bosshardt, V. Bourcier, C. Bruneau, L. Buckman, J. Butella, E. Buvarp, D. Carlson, E.

Page l or!y-uiuc The Debate Team Competition ran high as approximately fifty stu- dents vied for honors to represent Virginia this season in debate. Research work and organization of material , 1 began in September. After a series of elimination bouts, the final team was selected. Harriet Schibel, 1 Conrad Stampohar, and Herman Rosemund made up I the affirmative squad, Esther Paciotti, Gregory Raps, ' Q and Lucille Prasky, the negative. The question for debate Was, Resolved: that the several States should enact legislation providing for compulsory unemploy- ment insurance. Virginia, International Falls, Gilbert, Eveleth, and Ely contended in a series of non-decision debates. Following these, Eveleth acted as host to the teams in a district tournament, from which Virginia emerged District champs. Thus they were eligible for competition in the regional debates. In the first tilt of the regional contest, the Virginia affirmative squad met and defeated Grand Rapids. Then their attention was turned to the debate with Duluth Central in the final con- test for regional honors. This event culminated in a loss for Virginia, thus ending one of her most successful debate seasons. Throughout the season, Malcolm McCullough and LaVe1'ne Small acted as alternates for the affirmative team, Carol Burton, as alternate for the negative. They, together with Lucille Hoffer, Gertrude Brude, and Mae Volden, publicity and business managers, made up Virginia's debate honor roll. This honor roll assisted in achieving the year's success.

Page Fifty June Honor Society Established in nineteen twenty-one as the American Torch Society, the National Honor Society aims to ,-T:-,L mmm create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to 53 Worr' develop character. A student may receive recognition E j g in scholarship by being in the upper thirty-three per 51 IE cent of his class in academic ranking. QE Service is interpreted to mean a willingness to .'T :-:I ig render cheerfully and enthusiastically any service to the school whenever called upon, to offer oneself as a representative of his school in interclass or interschol- astic competition, and a willingness to uphold scholarship and maintain a loyal school attitude. Leadership is interpreted to mean demonstrating a degree of initiative in classroom activities which leads to higher scholar- ship for all, showing initiative in prompting any school activities, success- fully holding offices, and exerting an active and Wholesome influence. Recognition in character is gained by meeting individual obligations to the school promptly and completely, by demonstrating an honest spirit in class work, and by constantly demonstrating such qualities of personali- ty, honesty, reliability, prornptness, achievement, and morality as are in- dispensable to the finest young manhood and womanhood.

Page Fifty-one January Honor Society The National Honor Society recognizes, first and NHIONAL f o r e m o s t, outstanding scholarship. But it does not stand for scholarship alone. It stands for football, music, dramatics, journalism, clubs, and many other activities. The student who is honored by election is the student who most nearly represents the ideal of the school. He has ideals of service and of characterg he is able to assume and discharge responsibility, to lead and follow his fellows in work for the betterment of 1 his community. He is educated morally and socially as well as intellectually. He is a good citizen. The student who makes high marks does not necessarily have these characteristics of a good citizen. In the first place, when he thinks only of himself and of what he wants, he may not be thinking in terms of service to his school or to his fellows. He is practicing selfishness. In the second place, if the student is interested only in what he makes in his classes, other qualities will probably be slighted, and whatever poten- tialities he may have in other activities are likely to go undeveloped. In short, academic excellence is an important phase of school work, maybe the most important, but it is not by any means the only phase. The Virginia chapter of the National Honor Society was founded in 1925 and was called the Lafayette Bliss Chapter in honor of Mr. Lafayette Hliss, an active promoter of education. nom Soclnrv i1 1 'llov Row-Angeline Znameroski, Mark Richards, Helen Keskilalo.

They awarded prizes to the winners in the boys' division of the forensic contest, Conrad Stampohar receiving first, and Herman Rosemund, second. The club also purchased two ping pong sets for use by members and by other high school organizations and sponsored a ping pong tournament. One of their greatest achievements this season has been the establishment of a close friendship among the fellows.

The two simple but effective words mean to try high , or to do one's s, best, mentally, morally, and physically. During the K Ill' past year, the members aimed specifically to promote 2 5 a spirit of good feeling and friendliness. To accomplish if their objective, they held a Christmas party for poor l , children, presenting their small guests with toys and 'llllliii practical gifts. In April, they sponsored the letter- women's banquet for members of the girls' swimming 5 5 team. This year, the banquet was held in conjunction with the Hi-Y lettermen's banquet. The Tri-Hi Club Was organized in nineteen hundred and twenty-eight as a luncheon club for girls of the school. Meetings were held twice a month, alternately in the school cafeteria and in the social room. The membership is limited to eighteen. A unanimous vote of the members is necessary for admission to the organizaton.

Page Fifty-f Star of the North News Staff Soon after its beginnings, the average high school starts to show interests entirely apart from its academic functions. Activities of the extra-curricular type begin to sprout here and there. Among the most impor- tant of these activities is the institution of the school newspaper. It can truly be said, Show me the school's paper and I will tell you its character. Probably no other group of individuals must be so alert to that intangible thing called school temperament and so earnest in interpreting that spirit and in promoting the best that the school represents as the newspaper staff. During the past year, staff members published fourteen issues of the paper. Their specific aims were to treat news of high school events impartially and accurately, to arouse interest in the worthwhile activities of the school, and to challenge each individual to raise the standard of scholarship and citizenship of his class and of himself. The work was done in a journalism class, one-half a vocational credit being given for the course. Thus, the duties became a part of the students' school Work, thereby insuring efficiency and distributing the work. The accrediting of the course also permitted students who did not have time for extra-curri- cular activities to substitute the course for another elective. I Tift-, .

Page Fifty-six Quillzand Scroll Quill and Scroll, international honorary society for Q high school journalists, was first organized in Virginia INTf-QNATIONM in nineteen hundred and thirty-one. Since then, twelve '--1' local students have been granted membership into the QJGSIUILUQ organization. In order to have their candidacy approv- ed by the national secretary, members must meet the following requirements: they must be in the upper third of their class in general scholarship, they must gs have done superior work in some phase of journalistic QQQQML or creative endeavor, and they must be recommended by the publication's supervisor. Quill and Scroll was organized in 1926 by a group of supervisors for the purpose of encouraging and rewarding individual achievement in creative Writing. It has taken an active part in raising standards and in directing the course of high school journalism. Through the official pub- lication of the society, practical information concerning every phase of publication work is brought to editors, staffs, and supervisors. Every year, contests in creative writing are sponsored and a book published which contains the best material submitted. Over six hundred chapters, located in every state in the Union, in Hawaii, England, China, British Honduras, and Alaska, now comprise the organization. Twelve hundred young jour- nalists from schools which are outstanding in the quality of their pub- lication work wear the badge of the society.

The first aim was partially realized by the production of the Klepto- g maniac , a one-act comedy, which was presented under M: W the direction of Lucille Prasky on January 28, at a ATEN? senior high school assembly. The members of the I j Entre Nous, Hae-W, and Tri-Hi clubs were guests at nu the Forensic Tea which has now become an annual event. It was given this year on the ninth of April. About one hundred and twenty-five girls and faculty members attended the tea. Meetings are held semi-monthly on the first and third Tuesdays of each month. For the first semester, the club had as its officers: Carol Hanson, presidentg Janet Christopherson, vice president, Louise Hejda, secretaryg Merlyn Shields, treasurerg and Ruth Williams, club reporter. During the past half year, Louise Hejda has acted as president, Janet Christopherson, as vice presidentg Bertha Haapala, as secretaryg Frances Anderson, as treasurer, and Anna Carlson, as club reporter. Louise Hejda, Lucille Prasky, and Esther Paciotti are now the only remaining charter members of the organization, and they are being graduated this June.

Page Fifty-eight Entre Nous Vocational guidance is the main purpose for which the Entre Nous Club Was organized. In the fall of EE nineteen hundred and thirty, the girls established the society under the advisership of Miss Arlander. During the past year, Miss Hintze has advised the club and V -, aided the members in carrying on their study of voca- 5 'W tions for girls. To help them in their study, professional 5 people, among them Mr. Slette, Mr. Olson, and a private I H doctor, have lectured on fitting professions and business l opportunities for young women. l - In addition to examining professions, the group aims to bind ties of friendship among the girls. To accomplish this, several social events were held during the year. A stew supper, in banquet style, was given to entertain the alumni and active members. Other events of the year included a mixed cabaret party, a Christmas sociable, and an Entre Nous social hour. Enrollment in the organization is restricted to thirty.

The ends most commonly before our minds are chiefly two-utility and culture. Scholar- J ship from the point of view of utility is simply a I tool by which work is done. The aim of culture is to make us greater, better, and more truly human. The Q - 7 man of practical affairs is apt to undervalue all scholar- X fi W ship that cannot be appraised on a commercial basis, X Z X i A likewise, advocates of culture are likely to assume lofty airs toward what they call material pursuits and to K M refuse the title of scholarship to training that has no higher aim than to make money. It is important that these two aims of scholarship should not be separated. Neither is complete without the other. . Scholarship opens the mind to higher influences. The cultivated taste and the refined affections are more susceptible to good impressions and more appreciative of moral worth. Education makes more effective all the faculties of man, and his range of power is increased by every bit of culture. To be in sympathy with men, to touch life at many points, to know the highest as well as the lowest springs of character, that is the opportunity of greatness the power of culture gives. TOP Row--H.

In its public performances, it has served not only as a theatre orchestra in the pit but, which is more, as a symphony orchestra presenting a concert on the stage. In previous years, the orchestra was considered more as a supporting agent for plays, Qggggggi programs, and other performances, but last year a concert was given on the Municipal Band series and this year three such concerts were played with incred- '? ible success. In addition, the orchestra has appeared at the joint music festivals with Eveleth. The calibre of music played this year is so far superior to anything that has heretofore been attempted that one would be astonished at the rapid strides taken by an amateur organization if one did not also consider the instruction which makes such progress possible. The advent of the new music building is bound to mark a distinctly new era in the history of musical accomplishments in Roosevelt High. The accommodations of the new building make possible private practice with no interruptions and also private instruction in which greater results can be obtained because of an atmosphere of quiet. The main rehearsal room with its vastness and acoustical treatment provides wonderful re- hearsing conditions. TOP R'ow-T. Tscholl, j. Klabechek. W. Wennen, S. Lammi, H. Ixakson, M. Milticlv.

Just before din- s l l ' ner, this pause comes as an hour of enjoyment, learning, ls ,O and appreciation--enjoyment of the music played for X ,,f,, orie's own personal delight, learning for those who l would acquire advanced ability to perform, and appreci- l'll ' ation of good music for the cultural value. X- i During the year, because of the large enrollment, M XX l X X the entire band appeared seldom, at the joint music X- festivals with Eveleth and at only a few other specially scheduled performances. However, small chosen groups from the organi- zation are constantly rendering their services in support of athletic events and of banquets and programs throughout the city. The training of musicians for the Municipal Band is sometimes overlooked. Every student in the band nourishes a desire to obtain membership in the muni- cipal organization. This year ten high school students and sixteen other who received their musical training in the Virginia music department were members of the municipal band. Top Row-I. Tscholl, L. Kreitzer, C.

Page Sixty-five Hockey Team Completing a schedule of nine games with but one loss, the Virginia High School hockey team wrote finis to their second consecutive season of championship hockey. This year Virginia was tied with Eveleth for champion- ship honors. Approximately thirty-five candidates answered Coach Eide's call, among them many two and three year veterans. Using these veterans as a nucleus, Coach Eide built up a team that romped through Hibbing Jaysee in the season's opener, 6 to 0. In the next game the locals went on a scoring spree, downing Chisholm, traditional Myrg under-dogs of Range hockey, by the score of 11-1. After trouncing Hibbing High School by a score of 6 to 1, Vir- ginia entered the two crucial games of their schedule, both with Eveleth. In the first, Virginia emerged victorious, 5-4, but in the return game Eveleth slipped in a one-point lead which they managed to hold through- out the game. Determined to redeem themselves, the Roosevelt puckmen buried the Duluth Teachers and Chisholm High under an avalanche of goals in their next two contests, the scores being 12-1 and 7-2 respectively. In the two final games of the season, Virginia piled up 4-1 and 5-1 leads over the Duluth Peds and Hibbing High School.

Coach Michels immediately began to divide the boys into three squads, with the veterans comprising the blue squad, the reserves mak- ing up the reds, and the remaining players making up the white squad. After three weeks of strenuous drilling, Virginia faced Aurora in the season's opener and defeated them 22-14. Of the remaining games, Virginia won six and , lost five, scoring 239 points to their opponents' 225. The f C . outstanding win of the year was scored against the dis- 'fffffn trict champion Gilbert team at Gilbert, the score-board reading 24-21 at the finish. Virginia entered the district tournament as one of the three favorites, the others were Gilbert and Eveleth. The locals swamped Mt. Iron in their first game 24-8. On the following night, Gilbert and Virginia played great defensive games, with Gilbert emerging victorious 11-6. In the consolation tilt, Virginia defeated Eveleth 19-17 to cop third place in the tourney.

Miss Healy's squad finished the regular season by winning all but one dual meet. Aiming still higher, the team set three new state records. The free style relay team set a new standard in their specialty, Sirkka Pelto smashed the 100 yard free style recordg and Olga Matko broke the record in the 100 yard backstroke. The squad is unique in that only three girls who competed in the State meet are being graduated in June. MMI, With nearly all of the present swimmers in their junior and sophomore years, Virginia can truly look forward to strong teams for the next few years. The squad will be hardest hit by the loss of June Morell in the dives and of Eileen Watson and Mabel Ahl- strand in the breaststroke. June Morell, the captain, has earned honor points in every major sport offered in the school. Eileen Watson made the season a smooth runner by her excellent management.

Amassing a total of forty- three points, the team set a new mark for points scored, in the State meet. Virginia opened its championship schedule by defeating Tulsa, Oklahoma in a mail meet, 50-25. Hibbing provided the first real test for Coach Boardman's squad and was swamped 55-20. Buhl splash- ed around in the next meet and scored 21 points to Vir- ginia's 54. On successive week-ends the locals sub- V merged Ely, Gilbert, and Eveleth by scores of 57-18, CZPf 1 62-13, 52-23 respectively. In their return contests, Hib- me bing and Eveleth again absorbed sound lickings by taking the short end of 54-21 and 52-23 scores. With the Range Championship hanging on the outcome of the meet, Chisholm and Virginia met in the last contest of the season. The boys handed the former State champs a sweet 47-28 troun- cing to avenge defeats in previous years.

Page Sixty-nine Girls' Soccer Although girls' soccer is a comparatively new sport, the enthusiasm shown during the past season proves its growing popularity. Soccer is the nearest approach to boys' football that is offered in women's athletics, and the girls seem to like it. The teams competing this year were the Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores, the Juniors . winning the championship. Olga Papi was captain of the victorious Juniorsg Helen Mattila led the Seniors, and Amelia Russo captained the Sophomores. Ethel Ahl- strand was the soccer manager. Two all-school soccer teams were chosen, with selec- M '1S tions based on all-around ability displayed during the season. Those receiving first team honors were: center forward, June Morellg left forward, Bertha Haapalag right forward, Olga Diurig left wing Alice Waarag right wing, Helen Keskitalo, center halfback, Mabel Ahlstrandg left halfback, Ethel Ahlstrandg right halfback, Selina Carlson and Elia Salturellig left fullback, Marguerite Hillg right fullback, Alberta Scholtusg and goal-guard, Rose Muhar. The second team included: center forward, Olga Papi, right forward, Helen Mattila, left forward, Irma Pykaneng left wing, Ann Pajalag right wing, Rae Heiskag center halfback, Aune Saarig left halfback, Constance Trebilcockg left fullback, Aslaug Vatshaugg right fullback, Marion Dar- lingg and goal-guard, Dorothy Grinde.

Page Sevenly Girls' Field Hockey Capable girls armed with hockey sticks and shin c guards eagerly awaited Miss Lomen's signal to start the hockey season. Enthusiasm and fine competitive spirit reigned throughout the games, with the Juniors domin- ating the play. Ingrid Waananen led the Juniors to Vic- tory in the inter-class tournament. The Seniors were captained by Mildred Roen, and the Sophomores by Jose- phine Jaksha. Jennie Brunetti capably handled the hoc- key management. The brand of field hockey improves with each new season, and this year the standard was set still higher by the girls. The season culminated in the selection of Manage' two all-school teams. First team honors were accorded the following: center forward, Ruth Welton, left inside forward, Frances Anderson, right inside forward, Jennie Brunettig left wing, Dorothy Hill, right Wing, Soine Makivirtag center halfback, Ann Fijong right halfback, Arline Stockeyg left halfback, Josephine Jakshag left fullback, Agnes Anderson, right fullback, Margaret Mrosg and goal-guard, Dorothy Nelson.

Page Seventy-une Girls' Basketball and Minor Sports Because of the large turnout this year, each class was able to organize a team. Frances Anderson acted as general manager. Captains of the teams were: Sen- ior A, Jennie Brunettig Senior B, Constance Trebilcockg Junior A, Arline Stockeyg Junior B, Winnifred Ring, Sophomore A, Helen Sersong Freshman A, Elia Saltur- elli. The Senior A's became champs, the Junior A's were runners-up, and the Ten A's placed third. Miss Lomen, the captains, and the manager chose for the all-class team the following: first team-center, Carol Peterson, for- ward, Olga Papig forward, Alda Papig centerguard, M 8 Frances Anderson, guard, Jennie Brunettig guard, Ar- line Stockey. Second team: center, Esther Buvarpg for- ward, Ingrid Waananeng forward, Lillian Davidson, center guard, Jose- phine Jakshag guard, Josephine Vranicarg guard, Dorothy Hill. Minor sports have come into prominence during the past few years. They are badminton, ping-pong, aerial darts, target darts, deck tennis, ar- chery, and quoits. Badminton is a game similar to tennis except that a bird-racket and darts with feathers attached to rubber are used. The same kind of darts is used in aerial darts, but the bat is flat and made of wood. Rubber strings are used in deck tennis, they are thrown back and forth across a net. Terminating the minor sports season, tournament play-offs were held. Selina Carlson acted as general manager. A nderson TOP Row'-C. Dwyer. A. Anderson, D. Vatshaug, C. Angellar, H. Krause. E.

A list of such pro- portions was bound to furnish good material, and so it was. The first trial was the inter class meet, handily won by the Juniors. Virginia finally won the Range Relay event at Minneapolis and the team brought back the first place gopher. In the Eveleth Relays, the locals scored heavily, though no victor was declared. Chisholm provided the only dual ,competition during the season. Virginia showed power by copping half the firsts, and dominating seconds and thirds. In a quadran- , gular meet with Ely, Eveleth, and Gilbert, Virginia again C n came out riding high above its nearest competitor, Eve- leth. The district meet at Eveleth uncovered an unexpected challenger to Virginia's track prowess. Aurora almost turned the trick, but Virginia was finally announced winner by about half a dozen points. I In the regionals, the locals lost a heart-breaker to Hibbing. The West Rangers were strong, but Virginia lost by the narrow margin of four points, through the disqualification of a local runner. However, the con- solation comes in the great margin by which Virginia conquered its rival, Aurora, which took third place.

Your announcer is Robot 1932 who will address you, While you swallow your concentrated breakfast capsule. Y Y The other day I came across a booklet of rules for football written by one called Raymond LaFond. It was the most idiotic game imaginable. The main idea of the sport was to see how many men one play- er could jugulate. Whilst the others were engaged in colluctation, one of the mem- bers of the team would get suddenly play- fulg pick up the ball, facetiously called pig-skin, and dash madly down the field, slinging the ball to a playmate. When all the players were thoroughly maimed, the game was ended and everybody was happy. Y Y A picture that came to my attention yesterday showed one, a gentleman by the name of Edmund Laine, at Mud Lake float- ing in the water, sitting on a doohickey. Y Y Back, years and years ago, in high schools, a method of exquisite excruciation called the Woolley's test was used. This test was made up of interrogations on such subjects as the continuity of a paragraph, or the number and tense of a verb, or the advisability of the cleavage of an infinitive. Little is known of this now obsolete form of torture, but it was said to have been abolished by the year 1936 because of its sad effect upon the suffering students. Y Y In the offices of this broadcasting com- pany there is an architect's drawing of the new high school to be constructed in a dis- trict called Anderson, which district was formerly known as Higgins Location. The building is to be eighty-nine and nine- eighths floors in height and will contain seven class rooms. A special landing field will be prepared for autogyros which are proving to be popular with the younger set. This is indeed a monument to educa- tion. Y Y Way back in the year 1932, and previ- ous to that date, hominal beings were of- ten and continually being attacked by some things called diseases, of which I know nothing, and which no present day litera- ture adequately describes. It is said that Vincent MacVettie, warden at Angora Hospital for the Criminally Insane, was often overcome by illnesses and was fre- quently forced to remain out of school to recuperate in bed from epizootics. Y 1 The other day Harold Soine, noted po- lentologist and president of the Cherry Scientific Association at Cherry, Minne- sota, discovered the fossil of a feline ani- mal once known as a cat. This ferocious brute fthe catl was quite small in com- parison to some of the other animals of that time. . 5- A. Q b Vi , , . , I Lax. .

A 1 1 Hello, everybody! Another sport a cen- tury ago was something imbecile called basketball. On two ends of a large floor were suspended baskets into which five members of a school foolishly threw a large ball. In the Virginia High School, George Hill, a little lad, was active. The great features of the game were sixteen thousand spectators and a rousing, super- charged cheering section. ' 1 1 In the Archer Eggen Memorial Museum on Grapefruit Avenue, Hopper, Minnesota, in the Mauve Room, enclosed in a glass cage, is a statue of a man who at one time taught young people natural philoso- phy. The statue is of a Mr. Conrad Raps, who, incidentally, invented a machine to de- crease density and increase the specific gravity of physics students' brains. 1 1 This delightful program comes to you through the courtesy of the Wesley Jamie- son Undertaking and Picture Framing Es- tablishment. 1 1 In a musty volume concerning this an- cient people, it is stated that one, Arthur McDonald by name, Secretary of Labor, had taken unto himself a bride. Mr. Mc- Donald's marriage was a great shock to the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion. Mrs. McDonald did not lose her job at the Troy Laundry. 1 1 At your local Tillman's store, you may buy different ,models of myself. By pressing buttons in various parts of my body, I may be adjusted to pick up dirt, much like the old-fashioned vacuum clean- erg to clear the davenport of hairpins and stray grains of powder, and to prepare les- sons for students without their having to expend so much as an iota of energy on painful hyperpsychic gymnastics. Oh, yes, I'm wonderful, and I cost only S69.50. 1 1 In that far-off year, students who were the type engaged in an indoor sport called debate. Harriet Schibel, who was, once upon a time, elected senator from Iowa, in a lecture announced that she would make attempts to re-cultivate interest in that sport-one of arguing with an oppos- ing team until the participants were navy- blue in the face and until the audience had succumbed to the mirage of logic and the bevy of words. 1 1 Up to the year 2001 in the Roosevelt High School, Virginia, was a student, who studied the principles of social phenomena and organization. Today, acting as presi- dent ofthe Alango Parent-Teachers Asso- ciation, he is caring for, at his Angora country estate, three grandchildren, Mart- ukey, Algernon, and Aloysius. In tonsori- al circles, Mr. Gerard Kirby is well known, having won a raccoon coat for the luxuri- ousness of his whiskers. History books divulging activities of the Tri-Hi girls' club will be on display to- morrow, under the direction of Gilbert Handberg. The books, now yellow with age, were presented to Mr. Handberg by the noteworthy historian, Mcllvenna, in the year 1962. The value' of these eight hundred volumes is indeterminable but has been estimated to be about 25c. 1 1 Reviving a practice of girls' organiza- tions in the early 20th century, the O. G. A. A. fOld Girls' Athletic Associationl with their leaders, Ruby Bourcier and Beat- rice Slade, will hike to the Olcott Park on Saturday morning. Chaperons will be Robert Ostman and Clarence Peterson, both admirers and followers of girls' work. 1 1 Angeline Znameroski, modiste, fresh from Hibbing, announces that, as in 1983, feathers, trains, bustles, and large soup and egg stains will be prominent among the new spring frocks for very thin ladies. Miss Znameroski guarantees perfect fit for all patrons of the shop. Only seventy per cent of my customers have been dissatis- fied with the service rendered, says Miss Znameroski. 1 1 Musicians please note: From the Carol Hanson junk shop have come several music- al instruments known as clarinets. For fifteen minutes Mademoiselle Beverly Drake will bore you by puffing her gob- stick. Lady Drake has moved from her studio to the attic of the Eileen Watson Home for the Aged. Send your budding musicians to Miss Drake, she'll kill them. 1 1 Ruth McElligott, who is now so old and feeble fmindedj that she can hardly ,move a grand piano without assistance, will yell atchu about her inadequate musical career. 1 1 A hunter bearing the pickled hind legs and tail of a rabbit in a glass jar enters the studio. Slowly he saunters to a chair. He grumbles: It's lucky I don't open the jar. These are legs of the first rabbit I ever killed, way back in 1907, and they have an odor-phooey! Sorry we can't have him talk to you, but he can't talk, his mouth is too full of hot potato, the culti- vation of which he is so fond. His name, this is the surprise, is Champ Oliver. 1 1 Another thing in a glass case enters the room. Lorenz Wood Knot in the glass easel has entered bearing a set of false teeth fteeth in the glass casey which were res- cued from the tomb of Wallace Hallberg, one-time athlete. 1 1 Louise Hejda, director of scientific re- search for the Ruth Williams Dry Clean- ers, announces that girls, after 1940, re- fused to wear silk stockings because of the expense involved. Miss Hejda has pre- served one pair of the hose, funny things they are, for .more than one hundred years, but because she has ceased, knit rug man- ufacture, she cannot use them. Thus ends our account, and mechanical robot 1932 is signing off. Cheerio! 'ei-':1'l7 ,, I' A 9 441, ,- 'fo 305. f': EET E- . N ' his 'ww E ' fi: 'W i i .' i .

Bolder now, she takes a thick black shawl And muffles closely unprotesting day, Carefully, leaving no loop-holes. I wonder if she considers starlight and moonlight A good reformer's handicap. 4 Page Eighty Sky-Tinted Waters by Marguerite Hill In the days when wigwams lay in the quiet haze of early twilights, when violet shadows were gliding into the deepest nooks of the forests, when the blue smoke rings of smoldering fires blended with those from the pipes of the watchers of the nights, in just such days and by a people with endurance as great as that of the rocks, our golden state of wheat fields, lakes, and red iron ore was named. Minnesota, sky-tinted water , so the Sioux Indians called it, and we have never been able to find a name more beautiful. Minne-so-tah de- scribes the queer milky complexion of the water when, in early spring- time, it rises high and, lashing against its banks, wears away the clay which falls in, giving the water a turbid appearance. The name was given first to the riverg then to the State which we have grown to love. 7 Y The Crocus by Esther Pacialti The Crocus drew its last mortal breath and Lay crushed and broken As the blood of its life oozed out in the sweet fluid Of its veins. The white hand of death slipped upon it unawares And the flower was no more. Pagz Eighly-eight Nal:ure's Cathedral by Carol Hanson I sit on Nature's pew in the Church of the Northland, listening to her conducting morning devotionals. The soft chant of the birches, white-clad choir boys in stiffly starched surplices, is answered in hymns of praise by the congregation of the pines. Stately ministerial spruce, with benevolent mien, bless all comers. The chanting of the pines rises ever-triumphant as the worshipers respond. Never any church that has had the thousand-voiced organ of the North- woods. The aspen's low undertones are heard throughout the serviceg its voice is strengthened by the intonations of the poplars and the pines. Calm, peace, and serenity, all caress and soothe us as the maple filters the glare into the soft, diffused light of stained-glass windows. Cathedrals of the Woodland, preach to us always, we pray, the ever- refreshing sermon of God's handiwork. 1 1 Hepakica by Louise Heida Silken fur protects a slender stem, Delicately strong, Faint flush of pink tinges her Cheekg and Hepatica, Spreading her capable, green-gloved hands, Laughs, as she obliterates Winter's footsteps. Page Eighty-nmc The Lesson of the Pines by Angeline Znameroxki How staunchly they stand, these soldiers of the North, alert to the commands of the superior, all-conquering Being. Heads held high, arms raised toward heaven, they remain expectant. A dominating silence pre- vails. Then comes a flash, glaring, garrish, followed by the startling report of crashing thunder dying into angry rumbling. The God of Wind sweeps by. Each tree bends his proud head in temporary subjugation, and loudly whispers his promise of obeyance to the Master. The downpour of rain lashes and tears at the limbs of each tree. Tormented, teased, wounded, and almost conquered, they stand on guard. Cowardice is unknown to them. As the clouds roll by, unveiling the sun, who sprays his beams like a fountain of perpetual light, the giants of the earth straighten to their fullest majestic stature, raise their proud heads, and lift their arms again towards heaven, giving thanks-once more supreme in their might. 1 f Pines by Louise Heida Cheerful vagabond with tattered brown suit, Wrinkled and weather-beaten, yet entertaining Delusions of grandeur, Norway Pine rears A bristling green head to defy the North Wind. White Pine believes in simple severity, A lady sedate and austere of manner, Although a contour of lacy green symmetry Softens the lines of her prim black dress. Page Ninety The Water Lilyea legend by Helen Mattila Once upon a time, at a date far removed from the present, a tribe of red men noticed above the tepees of their village, a very beautiful white star which seemed so large and luminous against the dark curtain of night that it seemed impossible it be just a star. Night after night they saun- tered out and looked at it curiously as it rose and hung above the reticent pines. One black night, a young chief of the tribe had a dream of a beau- tiful maiden, who said that she was tired of living far above people in the heavens and that she wanted to come down to the earth, but that she did not know how. He awakened, hurried out of his tent, and there, above the Wigwam, the face of the maid smiled out of the silver star. He begged her to join them, promising that the tribe would protect her. She listen- ed eagerly. He suggested that she appear as a white rose beside the trail, where she might live unmolested. With a face wreathed in smiles, she left her heavenly home. Time passed. People daily trod the Objibway path near her. They frightened her so much that she quivered with fear the live-long day. Finally, she could remain no longer. She packed and moved far, far into the woods. There she fastened herself onto a rock, and was, consequently, called the rock rose. But as time passed, she became lonely here. So lonely that one night she again movedg this time, into the quiet waters of a beautiful lake near the red-men's camp. There she has continued to live, and her children are spread over the sky-blue Waters of the lakes of Minnesota. f 1 Rain by Theodore Lucas Little glass balls Dash themselves against silv'ry leaves And roll off Unheeded. Page Ninety-one Nincly-Iwo Drifting Ivy Rohm johnson Drifting? Up a sun-splashed streamg Standing- On a river's edgeg Battling- In the cruel whirlpool That eddies round and round, Sucking into its twisting mouth Little bits of driftwoodg Sailing at last-calm- And then again Drifting- Down a sunlit stream. 1 1 Snow by Theodore Lucas Snow, descending quietly Like a pure-white princess Who has been ill, Comes slowly down a stairway. Nighl: by Theodore Lucas Night is coming on. The eaves of a golden green pagoda Glisten. In silence, a pine in the Woodland Awaits the cool, dew-bringing darkness. A fading sun paints shapeless shadows On the cool loam. Languidly, the Great Painter strokes them With His purple brush, And Night is here. f 1 Dawn by Irene Salminen A beautiful golden god stirred sleepily in his bed, Blinked his sleepy eyes, Reluctantly arose. Shyly, at first, he peered between the leafy trees, And then, with sudden courage, Flooded the world with his golden smile. Page Ninety-Ihre IF Trees Were Not Ivy Wallace Hallbcrg If all our woods should fade away, And leave old nature bare and grayg If one could never hear the trees Rehearsing softly with the breeze, Some soothing ballad none have sung, Because it is crooned with lisping tongue If birds and bees, bereft of homes, Should build no nests or honey-combs, I'd rather not have learned to love The natural roof of green above. If autumn lost her rainbow cape, And left a barren, bleak landscape, If nature's swaying, green-tinged braids, Upheld by living colonnades, Were shorn from her, and left her bald, Without a lock of emerald, If clouds could never wipe their tears On handkerchiefs of leafy spears, Our world would be as dead as death With unseeing eyes and stifled breath. If wild-life had no forest glade That bathes them with its cooling shade: If lapping lakes, with tints of green Reflected on their silvery sheen, Should lose these tints of shimmering stains, And look like mirrors with frameless panes If Kilmer's Trees had not occurred, Just think! This poem would be absurd. If all these if's should blight the earth, Much better to have died at birth. Spring Mood by Astrid foseplvsou Look at the hills. It's spring today! Take my hand Let's run away. Over a hilltop, you and Breathless to meet the Now we are there, It moves away. Spring is so fleeting. Life can be gray. Today we're together, Tomorrow, away. Let us be happy, We are spring today! i if I, blue of sky. ES- . ff X if ,.,, 'f'Q1g?'- ' ' , -' , , -31 .
