His voice-his footsteps-of characteristic note Do strictest obeisance rouse As once the approach of the great Pompey Did oft-provoke submissive bows. But behind that solemn countenance A spark of humor we see Anticipating smiles do not await His Now that remindeth me- Next in this distinguished line Our principal does stand, History she knows, biology too, Good work she can command. Not only in practical bents of mind Does her personality shine, But of romantic inclinations too There’s many and many a sign. There’s sugar and spice and everything nice In the home economics room There are tables whit and stoves that light And pans and many a broom. Here the cooking aspirant learns How to win her man through food Tested by Miss Holsinger with success As evidenced by her gay mood. As Cec he’s known by his closest friends To us he’s Mr. Hahn He sings and coaches and teaches too Of tennis he is most fbnd. The col.ligiate teacher he came to us, The girls did gaze and sigh Alas, ’ twas found he was to teach, So meekly they sat by. Last year her name was Penschuck l.lrs. Jensen now she’s called She can cook and sew and type and teach She keeps us all appalled. On cars and guns he is most wise Put Pinky is his forte Mike steps on the gas and chuckles gayly And now Just try to catch me) I Turney” has her weekend guest Who makes her her teachers mood She teaches English, glee clubs, plays with skill, And lately, other lessons, not jo crude. Of these teachers seven we arc most fond And weTd like to laud them more Eor to us they’ve given ennobling thou its To keep in memory’s store. ♦ i t 0 % 0 I s • • TO-'liaraCIAL Mrs. Jensen- ----------------- .-K«a .e3f Itagp'fc You never know what you can do '-un-til you try a.” Typing Shorthand Bookkeeping General 3usinens Education The vocational aims of the commercial department are (1) to give definite training in the details of office work by acquiring skill in the technical commercial subjects, and (2) to assist students in meeting every day problems of the business world.

Rohwder Heed of Dcp?t Come forth into the light'of things Let nature be your teacher. In the general sciences, the s ib,jcct matter treats of the principles which gov ihi modern conveniences, luxuries and physical r:e 11-being. With those, goes also a training in scientific method of thought and procedure. It is the aim of the courses in natural science tc lay the foundation of a knowledge of the functions of machines, and behavior.of living organisms. On this knowledge, can bo built future education for the professions and trades AMERICAN HISTORY, SOCIAL SCIENCE, BIOLOGY Ursulo K. Stohly- - - - - ---------- .Head of Dcpft History both triumphed over time Which beside it nothing but eternity both triumphed over. The study of social sciences aims to instill an appreciation of men and deeds of the past, to make young non and •.omen recognize the responsibilities of citizenship and to emphasize the importance of ccoperation in society. History, Civics, Economics and Sociology outline the present day difficulties growing out of.the social, political, and economic organization, and methods used in s living these problems as well as a survey of h5w man has dealt with the same problems in the past ALC-EBRA, HISTORY;.

We wonder, as we’re passing by. First comes Janet, who’s quiet and demure, Likes dancing and most every sport. She’s ambitious and always sure, A thing always true of her sort. Lyle Aygarn came from Choice to see What city life could do for him. Soon he’ll launch on a political sea Since Farmer-Labor is his whim. Brown eyed Cora has joined oiir class, Her brilliance is quite hard to beat, A truthful and sincere young lass She’s always dressed so prim and neat. Here is a lass that’s sweet and sagacious, It is Charlotte with true blue eyes, She dreams, but they are never too spacious, She’s faithful with no alibies. Of brilliance Francos Kay has stores, Not on any topic she needs to guess. All motion pictures she adores But her desk is always a mess. Elberta is a sophisticated lass Who sings her way right to your heart, She is the treasurer of our class, 'With ter, -we loath to part. Olivos life is all happiness Of dancing', singing and many shows, She likes to appear in stylish dress And always has lots of beaus. { 9 We hear a rich, deep baritone, It's sure to be Cyrus' voice, He's very seldom seen alone He seems to be a fair blonde’s choice. Earl comes moving down the line, Slowly as the tortoise, Nothing disturbs his tranquil mind No, not oven a sweet young miss. By the size of a lad you cannot judge Because Robert surely can reason; Against most work he has no grudge. And he's gay through every season. Never alone is Selma seen, No wonder that such is the case, Her dainty ways are like a queen's Now, who could fill her place? Edwin is liked by everyone, His quiet nature charms; He is the dark handsome one Who's never a source of alarms. Movies and jazz are in his roses, At programs he likes to aid. By powder and paint and off-stage poses Gordon's name is made. Up bright and early is Donald Johns, To milk his many cows; He'll soon run the scientific farm, And the public he'll arouse. Our president is Donald J. Who does not waste his smiles; In basketball he knows the way To outwit the opponents wiles. - . -J , • '■ • « - t - ■- i m + , - . . • ; , ' ! - . . - . : i .: ; :ii ■■ • •• ....

Of a senior classmate Artrid’s fond, It seems that arguing is his delight. His hair is curly and far from blond, He's never found in any fight Isabelle is our question-box, Jolly and ready for fun. Aiwa:-s seen in neat, trim frocks With her studies always done. Our class contains some Irish wit Possessed by no one but Frank With a titian girl he’s made a hit. He's always up to some prank Martha’s hair is curly and black, She greets you with a gracious smile, Now of brilliance she doesn’t lack Because she’s studious all the while. Benora never strolls alone, It always has been three, Perhaps she wants a chaperone. No other reason can we sec. A tall, slim girl is Hildegarde, She’s everybody’s friend. For her, shorthand is not at all hard In typing her speed has no end. Paulines's an office girl of skill, Pond of all kinds of sport. Her work she always does with'a will, She’s likable and she’s short. . i . . -•{t i . • • • • « • •• ' • • ,f I • . • J .

It was on September 6, 1922, that v.’e, with wondering eyes and a sense of lostness about us were swallowed up within the portals of what seemed a large, aweinspiring, and mysterious building. Those who began the study of the three R’s v ith us that day were: Eda Amberson, Janet Anderson, Elsie Brunner, Frances Drake, Alberta Eggen, Margaret Fuller, Elizabeth Henze, Madeline Helleland, Eulah Highum, Lillian Hillestad, Eleanor Johns, Mildred Johnson, Isabelle Kjos, Maxine Paulson, Pauline Rislove, Frances Tracy, Gertrude oxland, Clarence Aim, Earl Colbenson, Clifford Ebner, Arthur Kalvor-son, Robert Highum, Lester James, Donald Johnson, Rees Johnson, Francis McDonald, Lynn Rislove, Ald-ious Shiebstad, George Thompson, and,Earl Fenze. Mearl Jenson entered our first grade during the first month of the term. Y 'e were all very much impressed by our teacher, Miss Ella Arnold, who caused many a heart-quake when she would forcefully stamp her foot upon the floor and frighten us into meek obedience. V hen, the summer vacation past, we returned to school under the tutorship of Hiss Elsie Magel-ssen, we were no longer filled with trepidation at sitting in the little red chairs at the front of the room, and were already familiar with the sand table. This second year there were only nineteen of us, our ranks having been depleted by the departure of Eda Amberson, Elsie Brunner, Iforgaret Fuller, Madeline Helleland, Lillian Hillestad, Frances Tracy, Mearl Jenson, Clarence Aim, Earl Colbenson, Arthur Halvorson, Lester James, and fldious Schicb- • • • . •« .

The second and third grades were both taught by Miss Magelssen, so when we had been promoted to the third grade, we had the same teacher and the same room. Helen George ana Maxine Paul.-.on were among the missing, Rexine Erbar, Clarice Haugen, Lillian HilLosiud, Clarice Olson, Earl Rutter, and H'.ldred Erickson were with us when school opened, and Olive Fossen came in November. He began the next fall in a new room, and under the direction of a new teacher, Miss Bernice Johnson. Rexine Erbar, Clarice Olson, Earl Rutter, Earl Henze, and Eulah Hiahum had left our ranks, and Mar-git Aarsvald, Alice English, .nd Robert Bidwell had entered. This year we encountered one of the trials in the pursuit of knowledge, the daily Curtis Tests, which were to bo a four-year hardship to those of us not mathoi-r'tic ally inclined0 : 'Vo 11 •t!:-;u� • that '•u ete quite grown up when we clunbed the stairs to the fifth grade room. Miss Frances Emmert led our advance. About this time in our career we possessed high aspirations and ambitions. We would either be poets or presidents, in our ignorance not yet knowing of the scant remuneration of poets and the hard work that accompanies the presidency. He began the term without Mr.rgit Aarsvald, Clarice Haugen, Lillian Hillestad, Gertrude norland, Alice English, and Elizabeth Henze. Louis Brunner, Clarence Hugen, and Raymond Otis had joined us. The next September, being ready for the sixth grade, wc took a little journey down the hall to the room whero Miss Geneva Solvig held sway. Louis Brunner, Eleanor Jo-i s, Lynn Rislove, Clarence Haugen, and Raymond Otis no longer answered the roll call. Our new classmates were Rosamond Hon essy, Rcirert Laumb, Russel McAllister, Frances Tracy, Elizabeth Henze, Gehard upland, Henri Jenson, and Eulah Highum. We were promtte-d. cr rather den oted; for we again descended the stairs, to the seventh grade, • undey the ru.le of hiss Lightly. She; 'intro-duces us to long and complicated arithmetic p-c'c Lt-rfs, and led us seriously into the study of history, with which subject we have been afflicted unti? our senior year. Arvid Kjos, Raymond Otis, and Nona Johnson joined our class at this stage. Rosamond Hen-nessy, Russel McAllister, Frances Tracy, learl Jenson, and Eulah Fighum had left. We finally reached the eighth grade, where Miss Thora i.agellssen read us pce.try and showed us how to make artistic waste paper baskets and-plaques. She amazed the gazing pupils all around; and still they gazed, and still the wonder grew, that one small head could carry all she knew. Raymond Otis was the only member of our class who had dropped out, and Ardis Aygarn, Inez Keiden, Benora Orr, Verna Spande, Lyle Aygarn, and Hiidegarde Paulson had entered the eighth grade. In every history, we find recorded struggles and more struggles. The history of our class has not been an exception. For the past four years, v;e have struggled together on the rugged pathway that has at last led us to this day. This has not been e rosy pathway , for all along the way there have been thorns of hardships, disappointments, jeal ousies, indolence, and other thorns too numerous to mention, but wo have at last torn away the awful thorns—ana now we have within our grasp our reward —a ’beautiful rose—a diploma. I shall now attempt to give you a true history of the class of 1934, eortraying to you some of our struggles for the past four years, but regardless of these struggles, it has been a reat game after all, just as a game of golf. ’7erc it not for the hazards, there would be no game. It was on September 6, 1930, that the doors of the high school assembly opened wide to receive our class of twenty-nine freshmen. The following braved the ignominy of the freshman year with us: Janet Anderson, Lyle Aygarn, Cora Dahl, Charlotte Dragvold, Frances Drake, Elberta eggen, Linde Erdman, Hildred Erickson, Olive Fcssen, Eulah- fTishum,--Robert Highum, Selma Humble, Edwin Jacobsen, Frances Johns, Donald Johnson, Mildred Johnson, Nona Johnson, Arvid Kjos, Isabelle Kjos, Francis McDonald, Linda Ness, Martha Olstad, Benora Orr, Hildegarde Paulson, Agnes Peterson, Pauline Rislove, Elizabeth Solheid, George Thomson, and James Torgerson. Introductions to the following teachers were made: Miss Turnacliff, Mr. Rohv eder, Hiss Van:0rnum, Mr. Kedlund, Iliss Penschuck, Mr. Erlanson, Mrs. Steh-ley, principal, and Mr.. Hanson, superintendent. Vie were thoroughly initiated on the evening of October 17. They rrat us as . . chnj to school,, (Four years have since passed by) 7 ith boards and rules and hazing tools, They near ’bout made us cry. They grabbed us, held us, nabbed us, felled us, Sat upon, lay upon, walked upon and jelled us. And though they tried with might and main, To strew us far and near Vie rose with pain and said, f,.7e fain Would stay throughout the year.’ In spite of the seniors having done us wrong , we gave them a party on December 23. Having survived our freshman year, the next 1 year ' j .lUtoi’odith .'..ia aibly •' r.. gl-d t?ir.t it was as sophomores; we looked curiously at the freshies, as vie lovod to call thorn, and wondered if we could call ourselves upperclassmen . This wds our best and friskiest year. Hiss Holsingor, Mr. Johnson, and I4rs. Smaby V7erc the nev; teachers who greeted us. They took the places of Miss Van Omum, Mr. Hodlund, and Mr. Erlanson, respectively. Before we realized it, v;c were back in school after the summer as studious juniors, who thought we were practically as important as the seniors. Mr. Hahn was the successor to Mir. Johnson. Wo experienced our first reception at the end of this year,. Our class picnic was held at Hokah. The next fall we were pleasantly surprised to find how pre-eminent seniors feel when compared with juniors. How proud it has made us feel to know that at last even the most timid in our ranks has acquired the nonchalance and sophistication becoming to our high position! We were the leading class and had reached the fulfillment of our great ambition. But some of us have been lying awake nights worrying about our age, because we remember that when we were in the grades we regarded the seniors as ancient and revered and dignified personages who seemed to live in a different world from that of our own, and seniority a stage in our life that would take forever to reach. Events which have helped to keep us busy during the lest part of our high school days have been numerous. Me have had the usual discussions as to invitations, etc., and we made the occasion of picturetaking q picnic. Me have also put out an annual this year. Sonny-Jane was chosen as the clrss play, which was successfully given on the evening of April 27. A delightful entertainment at a banquet was given us by the juniors on May 4.

We feel quite grrnd and gay, Our goal is now near by, We are happy after all, that we decided to stay, For Victory is now our cry. It held us, thrilled us, pepped us, filled us, Stormed within, calmed within, warmed within, end filled us, And though our work hrs caused us pain, By hardships and bitter tears, This class again does say 'We Gain’ Our full reward for these four years. ars 13 H 0 Earl Henze vould have on the cross-country race last v eek but ho met Lyle Aygurn, the United States Senator, and 'ad to toll him one of his yarns.

Very soon the boys were assigned to the task of shining shoes and the girls were assigned the role of •'Topsy —They had to braid their hair and tie it with green ribbons! After about throe weeks of this so-called 11 initiation, they were invited to a party given by the seniors on Friday evening, October 13. This year a great change was made in the method of initiation, for which the freshmen can never express their full appreciation. Instead of being forced to cat raw eggs ana walk in molasses and feathers, the freshmen, assisted by the faculty, gave the program, which everyone enjoyed. On Friday evening, November 10, the freshmen gave the upper classmen a return party in the gymnasium. Of the eighteen freshmen boys, seven reported for football and eight for basketball. One freshman, Dorothy Lggen, took part in the final declamatory contest. As their freshman year is drawing to a close, they realize that they will soon have to become a bit more sophisticated, but in these three short years that arc left they will do their share to raise the standards of the Rushford High School.
