Although inexperience, the Vikings proved that hard work, team spirit and cooperation can bring great re- sults. Their best game was probably with Hector rated ninth in the state in Class C. The Vikes shut out the Bulldogs 14-0. The most satisfying game, however, was with Renville, whom they defeated 32-16, the first win over Ren- ville, in thirteen years. Most valuable players were R. Ashburn and J. Johnson, also named the WCCO Team of the Week and to the All West 212 Conference Squad. J. Johnson was best on offense; R. Ashburn on defense. Co-cap- tains were P. Hamre and J. Johnson. Pictured BELOW are the members of the varsity football team. BACK: R. Johnson, J. Flak, G. Brelie, J. Skalbeck. ROW 4: Coach Miller, D. Loe, P. Nydahl, R. Enestvedt, R. Freiborg, S.

The elementary pupils welcomed the metric system into the Sacred Heart school in the form of a metric fair, held dur- ing April. A metric midway was set up and amusements that had a metric flavor but also made the metric system a little more familiar and comfortable were used. The lower unit focused on a carnival background. Using the metric system, they measured how far they could jump, reach, step, and throw as well as sizes of parts of their body. The upper grades also had their own special activities. V _ FACULTY G. Erickson Is Teacher Of Year Geraldyn Erickson, affectionately known as Jerry, was named Sacred Heart's Teacher of the Year. This honor indicated not only excellence in the profession but also interest and par- ticipation in community affairs. Mrs. Erickson, who teaches the first grade, is pictured LEFT. The other teachers on the elementary staff are pictured BELOW. Emily Flak teaches special ed, Thelma Frederickson teaches fourth grade, Laura Sietsema, third grade; Marlys Peder- son, second grade; and Anitra Loe, kindergarten.

THE FIRST 200 YEARS A knowledge of American history is an invitation to experience the ac- complishment, drama, tragedy and hope of an infant nation struggling to grow up. Sturdy, determined pioneers hacked away at the edges of a raw continent and, with blunders and achievements alike, modeled a country with a spirited nature and a united commitment to individual liberty for every one of its citizens. Americans, great and not so great, have given us a heritage to carry on and improve upon. Farmers and soldiers, industri- alists and merchants, dreamers and leaders, are all there in two centuries of progress. But the maturing isn't finished. You'll find the boundaries of growth as endless today as when our forefathers first envisioned them. You can seek out your own destiny with the wisdom and judgement which comes with re-creation of the past. Your knowledge, dreams and industry will carry on through many more centuries of living history.

CHAPTERS OF AMERICAN HISTORY The Sump Act of 1765 was an attempt by Eng- land to tax items that were wholly American. The colonists reacted in seething resentment which erupted into angry protestations The first blood of the American Revolution was • pilled during one such incident at Boston in 1770 Several Americans lost their lives over a snowball thrown at a British sentry. In the fight to achieve commerce equality, the United Stales found itself in a naval war over shipping lanes. Fort McHenry was heriocally held during a British naval bombardment, and the stars and stripes still flew after a night of hard fighting The next morning Francis Scott Key penned the immortal words of what would become the national anthem Settlers had to have permanent access to the new lands, so canals and bridges were built to carry stages and wagon trains loaded with machinery destined for settlements in the West. The pioneers foresaw great wealth in the cheap acreage that was available Frontiersmen cleared the wilderness, built set- tlements and drove back the Indians. The Pony Express and the telegraph became primary means of communication Agriculture was the wealth of the country. American inventions of the time were often re- lated to working the soil. The McCormick Reaper, mowing machines, textile looms and the cotton gin were instrumental in the -ettling of new frontiers. In 1545, James Marshall found gold in the race of a sawmill he was building for John Sutter at Coioma. California The lust to get rich quick' was the force behind this biggest and gaudiest gold rush ever While gold rush fever gripped the country, states were imreasingly more divided on the slavery issue. Civil war broke out in the East. This Brothers War was bitterly fought and. though the scars remain even today, slavery was abolished. Cities grew at an alarming pace, often without regard to the limits of safety. The great Chicago fire of 1571 burned the hustling cattle market empire beyond recognition. But the pioneer spirit was not broken Chicagoans began re- building and preparations were underway to celebrate the 100th birthday of the country. The Iron Horse carrying homesteaders, greatly helped settlement of the new country - The first transcontinental railroad connected the country at Promontory Summit. Utah, on May 10. 1869. Transportation was setting the pattern for the American way of life. The country became a mobile society with electric trolleys, automo- biles. farm machinery, and bicycles all the rage Along with the accessibility of travel came a new era of nationalism. A World War called upon the nation's young men to unite and fight After the war in Europe the nation pulled itself together and industry flourished once again. A carefree America bur- ied war memorie - in the new moving pictures, telephones, light bulbs, electric generators, stock market ticker tape machines phono- graphs and a wealth of inventions from the fer- tile minds of its young inventors Baseball be- came the national sport and prohibition wa . law Black Thursday.

Television became a part of every family s life National events were household topics — while they happened — thanks to the new medi- um Individuals and groups were seen on the tube as they advocated new social reform, or justice, or special causes of their own TV gave individuals and political systems power greater than ever before.

With the great expanse of cheap land opening up in the West, the dream became reality. The Louisiana Purchase of 1803 opened the first sizable frontier in the Midwest, but the nation was not ready for it yet. It took a growing market in the East, where land was getting high-priced and scarce, and develop- ment of good transportation, to really start the frontier movement. The Gold Rush caused hordes of settlers to take various routes to the Pacific Coast and its yellow riches. The railroads brought farmers and ranchers, along with the miners, who decided to stop all along the routes and build their homes. Railroads were instrumental in the quick civilization of the West, bringing people in num- bers so large that the resentful Indians were finally pushed back into unwanted and infertile areas. America became a haven for immigrants from every na- tion as freedom beckoned them to the teeming cities of the East, the plains, and the rich west coast farmlands. Sick of the Civil War and with their own lands divided up and lost, many Southerners set out to begin again in the virgin territories. Westering soon became the national tradition as North and South moved together toward a new life. Americanism was advanced socially, by the hard-working, bare-fisted types who settled the frontiers.

With trade goods cut to a minimum, determined young leaders of the time set out to find ways of surviv- ing without support from the Mother Country. Agricultural methods and machines and labor saving devices were designed by our forefathers. As frontiers opened, Yankee genius had to conquer natural barriers in the wild new country, so suspension bridges were invented and methods of transportation were perfected for the purpose of opening the untamed areas. Later, they sought to section off the land with the revolution- ary and controversial invention — barbed wire. Cooper's 1-horsepower Tom Thumb train in 1830 and later, automobiles like the first Model T, and the 4-horsepower airplane ; became American modes of travel from city to city and coast to coast. Americans knew that the fertile lands of this nation would produce unequalled harvests if machines were designed to take over for man. They knew also that trade routes were difficult to travel and manufacturing would have to be done close to home. The cotton gin, textile looms, drill presses and a reaper which could cut six times as much grain as a hand scythe were some of the tools invented. Protection for themselves and for their young country prodded inventors like Eli Whitney to perfect firearms and others to work on plans for the first submarine. Young inventors like Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison (called the nation's most valuable citi- zen) visualized machines that would light the country and open up communication with those in the far cor- ners of the nation. The telephone, telegraph, phono- graph and the first light bulb were discovered in the late 1800's and early twentieth century. This American way of doing for oneself inspired many to become inventors in their own right. Some sought to save labor and mass- produce for profit while others envisioned not only riches, but excitement and adventure as they discovered ways to defy nature. Throughout the past 200 years the American mind has been unleashed to take whatever paths necessary to ful- fill the needs. In the last half-century, the pace of dis- covery has been overwhelming and inventions for the taming of the universe lie in the grasp of America while the habit of finding a way is ingrained in its people. The seeds of industrial America were sown by these inventors resulting in today's mechanized society.

Mju «facnz7«d by PCXAT DAVIS SOW. Imagine buying that acre of land you have spotted for $1 25! Or. even at the higher price of $10. Those are the prices offered to our founding fathers to encourage set- tlement of the wilderness areas of this nation A stage wasn t the most comfortable way to go. but you could get from city to city for as little as $3 — at the amazing pace of six miles per hour. Compare today's wages with a 12-hour day in the early 1800 s. A man earned 50c a day. Of course his dollar bought a little more than today's. Butter in 1526 was about 5C lb. in the Midwest, eggs. 3C doz.. corn oc bu.. wheat. 25c bu.. and a cow could be bought for $5 With travel becoming the American tradi- tion, you could choose train, wagon, horseback or the water. A canal ride, with bed and board included, averaged 3 or 4c per mile. And when you reached your des- tination. you could sit down to a 5. or even 10 course meal for 25c (Ladies 20c, in consideration of appetite.) Farmers in the early 1800 s could own the famous McCormick Reaper for a mere $100. But the Civil War increased prices as the machine became the first item farmers could buy on time payments for the sum of $1.500. A good suit of clothes then might cost $1.95 and ladies waists (blouses) were marketed for 49c to $3.50 with a whole dress pattern priced at 15c. Cookstoves. quality-satisfaction guaran- teed, could cost you $29.25 at $4 per month and a dandy heating stove could set you back as much as $5.73 and up. The first electric refrigerator cost $900 — which might be enough to make you faint on your 1907 fainting couch that had cost a mere $7 85. Your new baby travelled in the height of fashion in a wicker sleeping coach (stroll- er) for the sum of $12.04 If you had $1.500 in 1903 you could show off in one of the first automobiles. Ah. those were the days. Some of the cur- rent prices are reminiscent of those days, but at frontier prices, which were a whole different story. Hardy pioneers had to pay $2 a pound for sugar, too. And the same for a pound of coffee or pepper. Those items were only 15c per pound back in civ- ilized St. Louis. Flour was marked up 100 times for sale to the frontiersmen and dur- ing the famous Gold Rush, that precious commodity went for $400 a barrel.
