SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL THE SENIOR ANNUAL OF THE JUNE CLASS ’10 SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL MINNEAPOLIS Press ok Hahn Harmon Company 410 Fifth Ave. S. Za (Our if acuity To those whose watchful care and never failing patience has piloted us past the intellectual rocks and shoals and thus far upon the road to knowledge, and especially to him upon whose shoulders has rested the responsibility of our passage and our disembarkment at this Port of Learning, this volume is respectfully dedicated. (Our Arrui Addition It is a pleasant spring morning in the year 1911. A friend and myself having occasion to be in the neighborhood of South High School, decide to go in and renew our recently broken ties. We approach the building from Twenty-fifth street, and view with pleasure the long-desired New Addition. The need of such an annex has long been felt. Do we not remember the class on the landing, and the green curtains in the Assembly Hall, which made four rooms out of what was supposed to be one? Who of us that as seniors had the fourth period vacant will ever forget the penmanship class that met in our room that period, aud Mr. Greenwood's monotonous, one, one, one. one? Finally, two years ago. it was decided to build a small addition, but for sonic reason it did not then materialize. Last year, to our mingled joy and sorrow,—joy that our school was to be improved, and sorrow that it had not been, while we might have enjoyed it.—the plans were completed and the building started. As we approach the building we see two new wings, three stories in height, made of red brick with brown stone trimmings like the main building. We enter, and are greeted by Mr. Jorgens, who offers to conduct us through these new additions. We accept with pleasure, aud he takes us fir t to the Cedar Avenue wing. On the first floor are the Manual Training rooms,—the Forge, the Turning and Pattern rooms, etc..—and one Drawing room. ()n the second floor are two Class rooms and the Mechanical and Freehand Drawing rooms. We then go to the third floor, where we find a Commercial Department as well equipped and as up-to-date as any business College in the city. There is a large and spacious Bookkeeping room, and a Penmanship room in which our friend Mr. Greenwood holds undisputed sway. The Stenography ami Typewriting rooms are separated by a glass partition. There is also a Commercial Geography and a Law Recitation room. The interior of the whole addition is made of reinforced concrete, entirely fireproof, so that, in case of fire, the walls cannot carry the fire to other parts of the building, but each room can be closed off. and the only resulting damages will be to the furnishings of that one room. Thus, in theory, a fire may be raging in one room, while in the next one. or the one above it. recitations may be going on as usual: but 1 am afraid that in actual practice, one will prefer to be at a somewhat greater distance, for his feet might get hot if nothing else happened. On the way from the Cedar Avenue to the Eighteenth Avenue wing. Mr. Jorgens points out with pride, the heating plant, which is on the outside. 1 his contains the furnace, the coal room, and the fan and ventilating apparatus, and covers the space between the two wings, on the basement floor only. He tells us that this is something unique in high school building in Minneapolis. 7 The bell for the close of the second period now rings, and Mr. Jurgens invites us into the auditorium, with its seating capacity of fifteen hundred, where the pupils have been asked to assemble to listen to an eminent speaker. We cannot help being more interested in this hall than in the speaker, and our eyes wander around, noting the large well-lighted room, covering the whole floor, with the balcony around three sides, the comfortable chairs, the broad, beautiful platform, and the decorations, which have been furnished by the graduating classes, and we know that it will be made still more beautiful by future class memorials. When the classes have again taken up their work we go down stairs into the (ivmnasium. Around the outside is a running track. As we stand watching. three or four girls come in and toss a basket ball back and forth, and they invite ns to conic and watch them sometime in one of their practice games. We see footballs, baseballs, gloves, masks, boxing-gloves, turning poles.punching hags, swinging bars, and everything necessary to make a well equipped gymnasium, even the shower baths, and Mr. Jorgens tells us. that they expect next year to have a physical director constantly in charge. For some time past, savory odors have been reaching us. and wt are now-taken into a lunch room, where they are preparing for the rush of hungry students who every recess find this a better congregating place than the little store ever was for us. Blit this reminds us that it is nearing our own dinner time, and we thank our host who has given us such a pleasure in inspecting the New ddition. the fulfillment of the anticipations of so many South High students.

Many would answer, “Luck! such and such a person is so smart that he can get his lessons easily, while I have to work and work, and then never get them.” This may be true to a degree, for all people are not gifted alike, and quickness to grasp ideas and to learn principles is given to some, while others have more physical power. Yet every one must put good, conscientious effort into his work to accomplish anything. No one can get along without study. But, one characteristic, above all others, counts in the rating of a pupil’s work, and that is self-reliance. What do we mean by the term “self-reliance.” and how do we apply it to school work? It is that in a man which makes him independent of his neighbors and fellow-men. This is a quality too often lacking in a student when preparing his lessons. It is so easy to ask some one else to translate a difficult passage in Latin or to solve some problem for us. The lesson may be learned in much less time and with far less effort, so why is it not all right? The results of this dependence on others speak for themselves. A poorer grade of work is done thruout. What is learned so easily is also easily forgotten, and bv recitation time it often has so far slipped the memory that one can recite only poorly. Besides, a why? is often asked that cannot be answered, because it has not been really studied out. A pupil generally realizes this, and has no confidence in himself, so he halts and stumbles, making a bad impression on teacher, classmates, and himself; when a test comes lie has no thorough mastery of the subject to rely on, and so resorts to carrying small papers, covered with notes, or having figures and words written on the back of his tablet or even on his cuffs to which he may refer, and thus he gets a mark which he does not deserve, and it stands for nothing to himself. Of course, everyone who is not entirely independent in his studies, docs not go thus far, but it is always easy, once one has started in a wrong way, to go on from bad to worse. And every time he lets some one else do his work, he deprives himself of just so much mental training. In the end it is not what we learn, or the marks we get in school, that count, but this training of the mind. Then, too, if a person does not begin in youth in the schoolroom to be self-reliant, when does he expect to begin? He will depend on others for help in everything, and will never rise to the top, whether it be in business, in professional, or in social life. On the other hand, the value of self-reliance is immeasurable. While the work at first may be very poor, especially if one has been allowing others to do his work for him. in the end the results gained will far out-balance a few low marks. What we learn in school will very probably be entirely forgotten in a few years of business life, but we shall have had such training that the mind will be strong, able to think and to act readily, and we shall go ahead 14 at our own instigation, not dependent on some one else for our thots, actions, and even words. In any crisis it will always be the one who has learned to rely on himself, who naturally assumes the leadership and is the most helpful to other men. Even in school he will soon learn to he self-reliant, because he knows he has done his best and has honestly tried, and in many cases, tho with a poorer beginning, he will finally rise above the one who depends on others. Even if this is not so, the self-reliance in other directions, and the mental training gained, will repay him for all the effort, tho seemingly wasted, that he has made. In looking back we wonder why there is so great a lack of such independence. Many students seem incapable of thinking of the future, but value the marks they receive more highly than anything else. There are many to whom all lessons are hard, and by honestly working at them, at first they see no good results for they win no satisfactory marks for all their efforts, while, by getting outside help, they can at least gain a passing mark. It is hardly to be wondered at that these students prefer to receive the good marks and let go the added benefit to themselves. If only the pupil would go to his teacher with his difficulties, and ask for her help and advice, she would be glad to give it. Teachers try to understand their pupils, and to show an interest in their struggles and discouragements. They endeavor to reward honest effort, even if the results are not what might be desired; but teachers can not give help when they do not know that help is needed or wanted. There are many outside circumstances which hinder a pupil's work, and he often has difficulties that the teacher can not know about, unless he tells her. If he would only inform her of these things, she would understand better in what way to help him, and they could co-operate to send out into the world men and women who are thoroly self-reliant. MARY E. IIOSKK.V 15 £ iiplunmirr IGtfr From her high and loftly pinnacle the stately Senior often looks down— down with scorn at her smaller brothers and sisters who are slowly, but surely, climbing up the steep ladder of knowledge. We. the sophomores, gaze, with eyes which shine with eager and admiring light, at the seniors in their far-off lower. Hut although we admire them and often dream of that remote time when we shall be seniors, to us as to all others come work and play. and. of course, we do each in its own proper time. Just ask the sophomore teachers, and we are sure they will tell you so. To each dignified senior who feels himself so much above us. we plead for just a little patience and ask him to recall the days when he. too, was a sophomore. To us. the sophomores of South High, work comes in just about as fast as we can master it. We do not think of complaining, though, but would rather try to make you believe it is quite easy for us and you will have to blush for shame when you remember how hard it was for you. How often can you seniors recall the times when the morning was dawning in the cast as you laid aside your books and went to bed? Now. the committee who laid out the course, must have expected to find among the sophomores some rather bright pupils or else we should not have such hard tasks laid out for 11s in our second vear of high school. The few who venture into Caesar's tossing boat are confident and bold. Some are tossed out by numerous parallel lines and those who manage to hang on are continually lamenting their choice and looking forward to the time when they will be safely landed on the opposite shore, if with only an average of seventy-five. Oh. the subjects that all must take! How bravely we trace Caesar’s march to Rome and remember the favorite date, ten-sixty-six. None are excluded when it comes to reciting the Ciettysbcrg speech, and when we come to Emerson—that is not our lightest task. I11 winter, we are continually tempted by the snowy hills and smooth lakes. They seem to draw us to them and away from our lessons. Then, it is that the poor little sophomore sometimes yields, and as a result neglects his lessons and receives the dreaded minus. Of course, all do not do so, for many of them receive cards that even a junior or a senior would be glad to own. In autumn and spring it is even harder to get our lessons; then it seems almost impossible to study as long and as hard as we should. There is time for work, but there is time for play, and we sophomores claim our share of each. In school we study so hard we do not have time to play. Still, to nearly everyone there comes a time when he feels he must whisper and joke and the funniest part is that we want to make the most noise just when our teachers want us to be the most quiet. Perhaps that applies to all because it seems that juniors and seniors have just as much trouble as anyone else along that line. When we near the end of the fifth period it is noticeable enough that all get fidgety and restless, but this is 16 explained when we think of all the fresh cakes, doughnuts, and pies awaiting our coining at the store across the street. I wonder why it is that all wake up and start from their seals with such alacrity when they hear the gong for recess? The remembrance of what is waiting for them at the store, probably. Right here, we will give the secret of the sophomores’ great contentment. The freshmen look up to us as their superiors; the juniors are so happy in their new honors that they do not think of us at all, and the seniors spend all their spare time in ridiculing the poor little freshmen. All leave us to ourselves, and no one bothers us, so what reason have we for discontent? Then with our advantages and disadvantages, we, the sophomores, of South High, are contented to remain as such until sixteen credits land us safely in the junior room, there to remain until twenty-four credits pass us into A” room, as much envied seniors. INGA BORE BJORAKF.R. 7 Slip Siutior (Haas In the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and seven there entered into the South High School a most remarkable collection of young descendants of Adam. Quaking with fear, vet filled with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. they came in groups of two and three and after aimless wandering through the unknown labyrinths of our institution were at last taken into custody and tied to a desk. The first year saw a great miracle performed. Where they had been timid, they were now bold; where they had been frightened, they now turned about and frightened others in turn: where they had been small and insignificant. they were now magnified and important. Ah. what a change was there, my countrymen! They had gorged themselves with knowledge; they had seen life; and were now a part of the army on the world’s highway. They were now full of faith, hope, and charity. They knew the joy of power, the intoxicating pleasure of predominance over a lower order of human beings. Their means of communication had discovered the secret of perpetual motion. Their bump of knowledge had developed faster than their physique could withstand. They were the salt of the earth, their cup was overflowing. Selah . Finally, however, another year went by, and another change came, this time a more logical, sensible change. Conceit gave place to self-reliance. The rough edge became smoother, and the result was pleasant. As a Junior class this group of young people banded themselves together into one solid organization. Good fellowship was the predominating influence that resulted in perfect harmony in all the actions of the class. To be one of the many members of such a society is for the good of any person in all the phases of his character. The Junior class is now striving to attain the next milestone on life’s journey, to possess the proper dignity and sober-mindedness of the sturdy Senior. JAS. SANAKER. January QJlaea of 1911 As Juniors, the January class of 1911 was very slow in organizing; but before many days of the new semester had passed, the secretary of the class as Juniors resigned her position and called for a meeting of the 'T.” Seniors on February 14, 1910. The first problem of organization was the matter of electing the officers. The outcome of the election was that Raymond Sanborn, a worthy representative of the class, was chosen president by a large majority; Winifred Larson was unanimously elected vice-president; and Ruth Wester for secretary, was a happy choice. Looking forward to the vast amounts of money to be handled, a trusted and honest treasurer was found in the person of Archie Paul. As have all the “IP’ Senior classes, the January class of 1911 has been most anxious to secure the class pins. Ruth Wester, Minnie Young, Engvall Knudson and Raymond Sanborn were appointed as committee to secure designs. Eleven different designs were submitted to the class at the next meeting, on March eighth, but no decision was made. On March twenty-ninth, they were put to vote and a unanimous choice resulted. Altho the meetings have been conducted with all seriousness, there has been a little disturbance, due to the fact that many of the “I� Seniors still sit in “11 room, while a large proportion sit in “A” room, making a weak union, which cannot be strengthened until as “A” Seniors we shall all be together. We consider ourselves most fortunate that we are not to be graduated in June, for it is hoped that by next January the new auditorium will be completed and the January class of 1911 will, we hope, have the honor of being the first class to hold its commencement exercises in the South High Auditorium. 19 LULU V. WILL. 20 21 Class history Four years ago we, the class of June, 1910, entered South High. We did not come in one body, but in several sections from the different grade schools. On graduation day from those schools we had felt very important, but oh! what a change when we came here, for we were only “Freshies.” We looked upon the high school seniors with admiration and awe, and wondered if we should ever be as accomplished and brilliant as they were. We were greeted on all sides with “Hello, Freshie. how goes high school?” How we did hate those words! We were ushered into “A. H.” and many a sigh escaped us when climbing to that room on the third floor. How great the difference between our low intellectual and social standing and the high altitude we climbed to so often! At first, we were like little chicks with nan,' a feather; but under the careful guidance of the guardian spirit that presided over that realm, we feathered out and Happed our wings, and soon could fly freely. We worked very hard that first year for if we received anything but double pluses we thought it was “awful.” That first painful, yet happy year was soon over and then we were classed as “wise fools.” Of course we felt very important to think that we were no longer Freshies.” It was then our turn to pick” on them. We did it in good style! We thought there was nothing quite so disgraceful as being a “Freshie.” The Sophomores were the “whole cheese.” We still climbed those long flights of stairs to A. H.,” and more sighs escaped us hourly. Why wasn’t there an elevator to take us up and down? It was during that year that we learned to say “Sprechen Sic Deutsch?” or “Amor vincit omnia” or “Comment vous portez vous?” We scratched our heads over problems in geometry, too. Then, oh, joy! we were Juniors and took up our abode in B room. Thru-out that whole year we were almost afraid to call our souls our own. Such phrases as “Clear out!” Don’t slam the seat!” and Don’t go out that door!” soon became familiar and ceased to frighten us. It was during that time that we learned about slimy, green algae in botany and listened with patience (?) to long talks by “Clio’s dear apostle.” But soon these troubles had ended and we entered A room. We left some of our class behind us. but we hope that other roads will take us all to the same goal. The first term of our Senior year we had troubles galore. We almost mastered “Whan that Aprille with his showres sote,” etc., which was one of our worst troubles in English Literature. But we were very fortunate in having a class president who could “get there (?) and our class affairs were many (?) and enjoyable (?) We had a sleighride party after the Christmas holidays, and it was very well attended (?) even tho it was late. 22 At the beginning of our last term, the founder of the Salmagundi Clubs at South High School came back to A room, alter a term’s absence. Almost immediately these clubs were reorganized and they are a great help to us as well as being very enjoyable. We have a new class president and he is a hustler, altho we were somewhat slow in getting things started. We shall graduate from dear old South High with flying banners. We leave our good records behind us and hope that the classes to come after us will live up to our standards. We shall go forth from high school to our university, or to other colleges, or we shall at once step into the busy work-a day world. Whatever we do, we shall have something to look back upon with pleasure and pride, our school life at South High. LILAH M. YOUNGS. 23 uJhr (Class $™phmj One evening as 1 was thinking of my lonely lot. With nothing to cheer me but bird. cat. and tick of the clock, A voice I heard. Just like a bird. Telling me of my old school-mates, who were then Altogether in the class of 1910. It told me of what they're doing far and near. Some of the things are very queer. Hut remember ere this is told That a bird is as true as gold. Hut it you think this is absurd, Please do not read it word for word.

Is doing the best that anyone can. 24 Every one knows that in his civics class He borrowed his notebook front a little lass. Edna Flaten is a kindergarten teacher, Never be late. is one of the rules she preaches. Bessie Zahncr is happy and well And lives in luxury, very swell. Halvor Ullern, out west, is interested in gold mines, But also towards a doctor’s profession inclines. Alice Kjelsberg, the modest little lady, our class’s pride.

Ruth Beckman has graduated from a school of etiquette, But does not make her gentleman friend fret, For he now calls in the morning for fun. Just as in A room he begun. Enough of Oscar Johnson can not be said. Because in ’10 he was our Johnny on the spot Ned. He is now the most prosperous man in all lands; In business and society the respect of all he commands. Lilah Youngs, between her music and the essays which she writes, Is having quite a time holding to them tight. She is the attraction at every club. And without her there would be a hubbub.

Belinda Si verson is a notorious suffragist, Miss Mabel Lyons is an excellent against. Leonard Lundquist as a book agent isn't a fake. He sells books as fast as hot cakes. Lenora Shiebe is happy and has moved out west. While the Misses Gangstad and Kemna as stenographers are doing their best. Messrs. Xorrbom and Larson, when school was o’er. Tho’t in an airship would soar. So they let out their wings with all their might And now are clean out of sight. Roy Eveland, a debater grand. Against a woman could not stand. So to his lakeside home he tied. 2S Where he wished he were dead. Edgar Johnson, the great railroad man. Has retired as only such people can. Miss Johnson, we call her Grace, Has resigned her secretary's place, For she has a permanent position for life. That of a machinist's wife. Mr. Haverstock in business is doing so fine That in the world he will surely shine. Ivor and Idris for mountains were named, And far away arc winning great fame. These twins can not help but rise With such a namesake pointing to the skies. “Gladie Burns, a cunning little maid. Of the business world is not afraid. For a business course she expects to take, But a housekeeper would better make. A mathematician Adolph Olson has arrived to be. And he is doing fine, we’ll all agree. Miss Nellie Hendricks is a stenographer and bookkeeper combined. While Mr. Sorum is the most fashionable lad in my mind, He knows all the styles of the coming year And gives lessons on how to appear. Miss Inez McXaughton is a dear little lass. She was of the B. B. class. But now she has another joy. For she intends not to leave her little Savage boy. By Mr. Blackwood a bachelor's apartment is kept: In it he has the best rule yet Of him this is very true— Bert still guards the sign No Room for Two.” Arthur Munson, a professor great. Looks down through his glasses from a high estate. But well he deserves to be on a high knoll. For he is counted in on our famous honor roll. He has risen to such a height That we wonder at him in delight. This miss. Ruth Johnson, has won wonderful fame For overseeing the beauty game. Her blushes are so sweet and dear That the boys of her have no fear. George Oberg was a prosperous confectionist. But now has become a sincere evangelist. Maurice Lagaard, now without care.

Has made her mark teaching an art class. Miss Hosken has written great essays Which S. H. pupils study these days. But, ah! how glad I’m not in that class. Because I’m sure I’d never pass. The Misses Myrtle X. and Myrtle M.. the Paulson pair. Are still known to take great care Xot to have their credits mixed, For it might leave them in almost fits. Mcndowitz still thinks himself an orator great And prominent in every debate (?) Miss Cora Lund as a wonderful reporter has proved her aim, But with the “400” is quite tame. The newspapers arc surprisingly funny today. For Alf. Oberg to the trust belongs, they say. This I do not doubt at all For as you know the prices haven’t taken a fall. Miss Swanson and Miss Rood after class day, Having attained great success in clay, Tho’t that designing they would try, But soon they left, no one knows why. A pharmacy by Will Glad is run; His first instructions at S. H. were in fun. And many a test tube did he break. But now he says that was all a fake. Miss McDonald, a teacher of music is she. While Ida Carlbom plays for you and me. Far across the sea is Miss Alma Wold; A teacher of LT. S. history. I’m told. The Misses Schoyen and Sather must not be left out of this affair. For as teachers I'll warrant arc fair and square. Wilson Pond, on newspaper row. Is making quite a stir, as these lines show. His paper is clean and full of wit; 27 For politics he cares not a bit. He’s doing the advertising for L. Lund, Who is trying to handle the gas ordinance and a city fund. The burdens of the city council are hard for Lawrence to carry, But I’m afraid he will shirk them and marry. Miss Mary Peterson a helping hand to a business man has lent. Miss Esther Erickson seems very content In a little cottage by the sea. While Agnes is still a maiden free.” Lillie Maurer has made her home in Germany of late.

Lund in A room, and under his guiding hand a committee for the Class Play was appointed, with Oscar Johnson as chairman. With the supervision of Miss Fish, to whom much credit is due, two plays were chosen, viz.: “The Obstinate Family,” a farce in two acts, with Gladys Burns, Florence MacDonncll, Edna Flaten, Arthur Munson, William Glad and Maurice Lagaard in the cast; and “The Elopement of Ellen,” a farce comedy in three acts, with Helen Sheridan. Grace Dignin, Janet Wilson, Lawrence Lund. Arne Sorum, Leonard Lund-quist and Wilson Pond in the cast. The material though not promising as a whole, is being moulded into form by Miss Fish, and bids fair to be a success. Earnest thanks are extended to Miss Fish for her generous services, by the class.

A few weeks after the beginning of the term, the following notice appeared on the blackboards of the various rooms: Glee Club, today. 3KX) P. M.” A few would-be singers were present at this meeting, and some attended weekly thereafter. The attendance, never large, was usually somewhat larger than the first one. but irregular attendance was always a drawback, and in fact, bids fair to cause the overthrow of the institution, as it has now been abandoned, for the present at least. Mr. Martin has put much earnest work and much of his time into it, and it seems a pity to have it fall through.” The members have enjoyed many pleasant meetings, and wish to extend their heartfelt thanks to Mr. Martin f«� r his services. 39 JU mKY iTY [ 1 40 ahr SiU'rary nrirty To call it a successful year for the Literary Society would be but a slight expression of the truth regarding the progress of that body of students in the past year. In the beginning of the first semester the prospects were as gloomy as they always are at the start. A good sized audience seemed far off in our hopes, but the doubtful was accomplished. The program committee did really good work. This committee, aided first by Mr. Byers, then by Mrs. Buckman. brought us an excellent audience and an attractive program. Excellent talent in debate, solo work, specchmaking and all forms of entertainment have amused and instructed many a Thursday afternoon meeting, and that is the aim of the Literary Society. J. S. 4i Samuel Halpern David I.undeek Hymen Mendowitz Ihr ipbating ®ram The 1909-1910 debating team certainly worked hard and derived a great many benefits from their work. The season was started with a struggle between Central and South High, the latter upholding the negative with Messrs. Hymen Mendowitz, David Lundeen and Samuel Rauch on the team. After this debate the team was deprived of the influence and experience of Mr. Samuel Rauch, who was replaced by Mr. Samuel Halpern. The team then went out with a determination to derive all the benefits possible from debating. January 14th the South-West debate was held in the West High auditorium, it was a very closely fought battle and very interesting from start to finish. The East-South debate followed: the most uninteresting one of the season; nevertheless South High made a splendid showing and were well satisfied with it. On Friday evening, February 25th, 1910, in the North High School auditorium, the last contest of the season was held. South High upheld the negative of the proposition, “Resolved, that Minnesota Should Adopt the Initiative and Referendum.’' Our school was good both in argument and delivery. There was a large audience in attendance and the debate was the closest fought of the season and the most interesting one held since the organization of the city league. The good showings made by the team were due to its hard and incessant work. Every contest showed improvement in argument and delivery. The rebuttal card system was used effectively and resulted in good extemporaneous rebuttal speeches. This style was made a point oi and will be the prevailing method of rebuttal in all the city high schools next year. The 1909-1910 team deserves credit for its work and we hope that next year with two veterans on the team, Mr. Halpern and Mr. David Lundeen, with better support and an auditorium of our own, a good system of coaching, and the strong co-operation and influence of Professor Jorgens, our school will rank high among the other high schools and will probably turn out a championship team. HYMEN Z. MENDOWITZ, June 1910. 42 43 44 JJIiyairal (Training Four years of high school life pass swiftly, the several courses offered tend to diversify our interests, and the time we find insufficient for all the pupils to become acquainted with each other. It is fortunate therefore that we can maintain school activities outside the class room, in which the student body may meet upon a common footing and where our interests are one. Furthermore, athletic contests, competitions in the forum, the existence of musical, literary, and dramatic organizations are all important and necessary as a means of social intercourse and stimulation to the life of the school. Athletics are no longer simply tolerated, they are fostered and encouraged, because they arc recognized as an educational force. Education is no longer understood to be merely intellectual development, but physical, social and moral as well. In the making of good citizens it is apparent that this four-fold development of the individual must obtain. It is coming to be realized that, after all, schools are not provided for the benefit of the individual primarily, but for the good of society. The universal interest taken in physical training, the agitation all over the country for playgrounds and medical inspection, is the outgrowth of this new social conception. Our school would hardly be meeting the demands made upon it by society if it ignored entirely the physical needs of its students. While the importance of physical training is acknowledged and public opinion has stamped its approval upon school athletics in a large measure, yet this phase of education has not received the attention commensurate with its value. This change of attitude, however, is bound to bring better facilities for the proper conduct of physical training;—the gymnasium, the trained instructor, and the equipped playground. With the addition of our new gymnasium which is at present under construction. South High will become a more highly efficient factor in the field of social improvement and will be enabled as never before to supply the needs of the community. CARLETON BlTRRIER. 45 Football A lover of this grand out-door sport would, at this time, he tempted to say something in its defense. But I shall try to get away from that as much as possible and give a kind of review of the last season at South Side. It was a season of success and at the same time one of disappointment. With a good start and everything looking towards a very successful season it was very hard to have a new rule step in and pick out our Captain as well as one of our best men, and leave us but a week before our first big game to get together again. It proved our defeat by Central, but the spirit the boys showed in fighting to the very last showed that the team was made up of that particular kind of manhood that wins. They were defeated, but not disheartened. Could anything be more magnificent than to see them come back two weeks later and defeat North High? North was very much heavier, but they were playing together and for each other now and nothing could stop them. Then came the game with East, where both teams came on the field with like determination to win and a battle royal was on. Here South's stick-together spirit again showed and brought them victory. They say a man can do one thing only at a time, but there are exceptions to all rules. Peterson was the exception this day when he sat on one fellow and pulled Savage from the arms of another and started him on his long run. Too much credit cannot be given Savage for this run. but we must not forget the rest of the team. It was the great interference and grfnding done by the rest of the team which made the run possible. The greatest disappointment of the year came a week later when we lost to West. With a week of fine weather the boys had worked hard for this final game of the year only to wake up on the day of the game and find it raining. West was very much heavier than we were and South was not conceded to have a chance. Nevertheless West came closer to defeat on that day than other games they played. When we look back over the season, it did not turn out as we would have liked to see it do. but on the whole, we can say, “Well done. and we certainly must take our hats off to the boys of 1909. 46 J. A. KJELLAND. Low Kjcllaml (Coach) Sanborn Lundecn Famquist (in Men Zaliner Peterson Sandy Newman Lund Savage Slerner Curtain Johnson (Capt.) laUil iBaflphall (Team Baseball in the South High School has for sometime been a somewhat successful sport. But never in the history of the school was there such a team as the one we had last year (1909). The team was a club that could be classed with any high school team in this part of the country. We started out by playing the University of Minnesota. The game ended in a score of 3 to 2 in favor of the “U.” This game in which we made such a good showing encouraged the boys so that they became wonderfully enthusiastic. The first championship game of the season was played with North High, which won the pennant the preceding year. It was a somewhat lively game thruout and ended in a victory by a score of 7 to 5. This game also greatly increased the enthusiasm, both of the players and of the rooters. West High School was the next school which met defeat. The game was an overwhelming victory for us by a score of 13 to 0. From this time on we were busily engaged day after day practicing with the Colored Keystones, a colored base ball team known thruout the country for their wonderful playing. This practice improved our team a great deal and when the next game was played with West we came out victorious again; score 5 to 4. The following week we met the Central high school and defeated them with little trouble. Games were played with St. Paul Central High School and Mechanic Arts High, ending in two victories for us. The former one was a hotly contested game. The boys traveled to Elk River, Minn., and played the high school team of that place. The team was supposed to be the best team in that part of the country, but we had no trouble in downing them; score, 10 to 6. Another game was played with Central High and this added another victory to our list. The big game of the season was played with North High, for the championship. North High had won all games up to this time, except the defeat by us, and we had won. The boys who played in this great championship team can not be given too many honors. The following was the line-up: Holstead—Catcher. Chelgard—Pitcher (Capt.). Lawler—Short Stop. Sanborn—First Base (Manager). Gulden—Second Base. Low—Third Base. Thorp—Left Field. Peterson—Center Field. Zahner and Sandv—Right Field. RAY SANBORN. 1909 Manager. 48 Peterson Holxcad Chelgard Gulden Sandy Low Prof. Jorgt-ns Jorgenson Thorpe HaarlmU South High has the name for developing good ball players, and this has been demonstrated many times. Last year’s team had a clean slate of victories, which entitled them to the inter-scholastic base ball championship of the Twin Cities, by defeating North High in a seventeen-inning struggle, by a score of 2-0. The game was the very apotheosis of 1 ligh School baseball, and tlie last playing of the winners was the talk in every baseball circle. The prospects for 1910 look bright and the enthusiasm in the school runs high, among the students. Although a few of the old players will not be seen in their line-up a strong aggregation is looked for, with the following men back for the team. Johnson and Strate, two of the fastest high school catchers in the city, will take care of the catching department. Bow and Watson, a pair of new recruits for the pitching staff, look promising and are expected to do wonders as slab artists. Lawler, called Little One. will hold the Andy Oyler position, and will show the public a few new stunts at fielding. Sanborn, who has been the Old Reliable for South, has cinched his position at first base and is without doubt the fastest man at that position in the Twin Cities. Newman, captain of the fast S. II. S. Hockey Team, is the strongest player for the second sack. Low, known as the Kid. startled the fans by his heavy hitting last year, and is expected to do wonders with the willow. A. Peterson. The Mighty Punter.” who will captain the team, is one of the best men in the held and can be depended upon for one or two hits a game. Win. Peterson and Watts are having it hot and heavy for right held, and make it considerable work for the coach to pick out the best man. Manager C. Thorpe, who played the infield last season, will scoop the high ones that come out in the left territory this year. There is great deal of inducement for the candidates, as the manager has secured three coaches to round the team into championship caliber. At the end of the season sweater-vests will be awarded to the players, and if they win the championship, as we hope they will, A. (1. Spalding will present to each member an elegant watch fob. With good support from the people of South Town and especially from the students a speedy team is assured for South High. CONRAD THORPE. Manager 1910. 50 1U1U Srark ©rant Track work in South High has not been, for the past few years, a much-indulged-in sport by the students, all the interest appearing to have been put on our more successful baseball and football teams. But this year (1910). with the aid of Mr. Carleton Burner, former football coach, and Captain Frank Savage, we have been able to create a great deal of interest in this branch. The prospects do not look as bright as some of the other high schools, but we have some very promising material. The boys will be given their first try-out when five of the relay men will travel down to Shattuck May 8th and enter the relay event. The next meet will be the University in the latter part of May and the last will be the Northwestern Intcrscholastic meet June 4th. RAY SANBORN. 5i Ijarknj The South High Hockey Team did not win the championship, but they showed the science of the game. The hardest game of the season was against our hard rivals. North. South won this game by a score of 2-1, after the fastest struggle ever witnessed in the city. Critics about this ice game, who saw all the schools practice, predicted that South High would be at the top. This probably would have been so, but luck went against us. as a few of our star players were on the sick list. Following are those that played this season : William Glad, who played goal, saved South from many defeats by his clever work at stopping the puck. Frank Savage, who showed skill and nerve in foot-ball, played great defensive games at point. Rudolph Hanson, cover point, was always awake, and did more than his share in the games. Norman Newman, captain and rover for the team, startled the spectators by his fast skating, and carrying of the puck. Rudolph Sterner, center, played a good game against East and deserves a great deal of credit. Lawrence Lawler, right wing, was without doubt the fastest youngster who ever played hockey. He was always awake and fast at carrying the puck. Charles Warner, utility, played nearly every position on the team, and played a great defensive game against est. Roy Eveland, cover point, had bad luck at the beginning of the season on account of sickness and was forced to be still for the remainder of the season. The games in which he played marked science. Conrad Thorpe, manager and left wing, worked fast at the forward position, and always had a hard opponent to play against. With things in our favor for next season, nothing but a championship team can be looked for. CONRAD THORPE, Manager. 1909-10. 52 itL L wrence Lund ■preside i .t.

It has pleaded long and earnestly before an appreciative audience of fellow classmen, and this volume is the result. We of the committee hope that critics of the work of art (?) will “consider the source.” will bear in mind our inexperience and incapacity, and be merciful. We hope that no one will take offense at anything hereinbefore mentioned, and be hurt thereby, as no insults arc intended. We wish to extend thanks to Professor Jorgens. to Mrs. Buckman, to Elmer Scharpf. who is doing the art work, to Mr. A. P. F.ggan. to the Minnesota Engraving and Color Plating Company, and to the Hahn Harmon Printing Company. With good wishes for all succeeding classes that shall attain to the pinnacle of graduation and for all our teacher friends whom we are leaving, we hereby bring this annual to a close. 72
