Bakke, Mr. Royal P. Guetzloe, Mr. Rudolph E. Pederson, Mr. Casper C. Minty, Mr. Albert L. Halley. FACULTY COACHES The successful launching of Southwest High In the Tleld of competitive sports was due largely to its fine coaching staff. With Mr. Halley directing track and basketball, Mr. Guetzloe, baseball, hockey and football, and Mr. Haahelm, tennis, our year's sport calendar was complete. Although there was no 12th grade and little equipment, the Indians made a creditable beginning. I FOOTBALL Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors made up Southwest's first football team. Under R. P. Guetzloe's coaching, such teams as Bloomington, De La Salle, and Breck failed to stop the Southwest Indians. They concluded their season with three wins, two ties, and three losses.

The bell had rung, school was out until tomorrow, and 840 teen age boys and girls romped out of the pretty brick building on top of the hill— But little did they realize that it was that very day that a new cog was added to the wheel of sports competitors in the Twin Cities. That little cog called itself Southwest . And the crisp September day—it was the day the little cog enjoyed its first workout, but the workout ended in defeat. But the little cog was a firm believer in the old saying, If at first you don't succeed, try, try again . FOOTBALL Coach Guetzloe had sent his Southwest team against a ”B team from West that September day. They lost, 6 to 0, but it gave proof that they would win some games. They went on to defeat Patrick Henry, 6 to 0; swamped Vocational's second squad with their passes, 19 to 0; and then, after battling Wash-bum for three quarters, won 7 to 0. Two 6 to 6 ties with De La Salle and Breck were topped off with a 13 to 0 loss to Bloomington, Minnesota Valley champions. INDIVIDUAL STARS: Jack Moore, Jim Sullivan, Johnny Leer, Fa Little, Jim Sheehan, Bud Turgeon. SEASON RECORD: Three wins, two losses, two ties. BASKETBALL The basketball material was very inexperienced at first, but the expert advice of Coach Halley produced a fine team that fared well against much more experienced opposition. Biggest thrill of the season for the players was their first victory— over Excelsior by 15 to 13, a team which had defeated them In one of their five early season losses. This victory was offset, however, by a loss to Breck, but the Indians came back to take four straight. Eight losses wound up the season. INDIVIDUAL STARS: Jim Rerat, Fa Little, Bud Turgeon, Steve Dougherty, Dick Beeson, Jack Labatt, George Hondllk. SEASON RECORD: Five wins, fourteen losses. HOCKET Mr. Guetzloe, besides football, also coached the hockey team with the assistance of Lome Campbell. A successful season was started when the Indian six tied West, 1 to 1, in a pre-schedule practice. St. Louis Park lost to the Indians twice, 2 to 1, and 7 to 1. The Southwest six also defeated Breck, in overtime, 3 to 2. The season wound up with two losses: to Blake, 3 to 1; and Washburn, 5 to 3. INDIVIDUAL STARS: George Entrikin, Frank Gamelgard, Tom Hastings, A1 Opsahl, Jack Moore. SEASON RECORD: Three wins, two losses, one tie. II H (II III II in in ii LI [I u aKsy � w. ♦ AND THE SUN SET The sun sank slowly, out of sight; It left a shining shadow here And there, and on the lake below The brightness glowed with golden light. It dropped behind the tinted trees Into the darker shadows there. Where deep-cut valleys welcomed it From purple depths to gleaming heights; A gilt-edged cloud in shocking haste Went flying past, across the sky, Now silently and stealthily, As not to be discovered thus, The night reached up a darkened hand And slowly pulled the curtain down Which plunged the world in deepest black. A soothing, cool, complaining breeze That fanned the cheek of dreamy night, So softly blew the silver moon Among the molten glow of stars. Margaret Bushnell CHOOSING HIGH SCHOOL SUBJECTS During these troubled times when millions of Americans are unemployed, a great many high school students believe that the best way to insure a prosperous future is to choose those subjects which will probably have a direct bearing on their chosen careers. These subjects generally include vocational courses, but what is to become of the so-called cultural subjects—languages, higher mathematics, sciences? Is it true that studying these is quite a waste of time? What is your idea of success? Is it owning a mansion of the Hudson and making a million yearly, or Is it finding real happiness and enjoyment in the field which you love most? If it is the former, take only those things which you actually need to gain that fortune; but if it’s the latter, fill up on subjects which will make your life as a whole more enjoyable. How can a person be entirely happy when he knows nothing about how this world came to be; what it is today? After all, the thing which we are striving for more than anything else, is the understanding of our fellow men, and a feeling of brotherhood for all. Therefore, it seems that there are many more important things in life than earning a living for one's self. Since this is the case, we should encourage those subjects which do promote our aesthetic sensibilities and a feeling of common fellowship together with a love of truth and righteousness. —Ruth Gill A CORNER STONE A corner stone: It must be strong and clean and fine for It marks the beginning, the start of a great new building that will endure and be beautiful and useful long after they whose hands put It In place are gone. Because we form the first classes at Southwest, we, by our plans and work and hopes, are laying the foundation stone for a great new structure of achievement which we wish this school to realize. We have a splendid student body, already attracting favorable notice among the high schools of the city. We have the best teachers In the world who are an Inspiration to all; and we have a beautiful new school house to be furnished with the finest equipment for our use. Build to-day, then, strong and sure, With a firm and ample base; And ascending and secure Shall tomorrow find its place. —Barbara Butler BLISS What could be more soothing and restful than lying on a bed In a thin roofed room, listening to the rain dropping steadily above you? You think over all of your happy days, and your misfortunes too. As your thoughts fly past, the rain beats faster on the roof. The little drops beat out a certain definite rhythm which reminds you of a particular person you have danced with and sets your thoughts on an entirely new trail. Each little care or discord seems to vanish with a beat. Don't you remember the day when you got caught in the rainstorm and soaked yourself entirely? A smile crosses your face and then with a little chuckle off you go to sleep. When you awaken, the rain drops are gone. You rush to the. window to see the sun shining brightly. The only sign of rainfall is a bright, fresher appearance. It Is comforting to see the sun so bright, but don't you find yourself asking, When will it rain again? nne Hodges IMAGINARY CONVERSATION As I walked into the lunchroom at nine o'clock, I was greeted by music from the band, which made me very happy. I thought since the band was playing, Mr. Roam wouldn't notice that I was late. That was where I was mistaken. Just as I started to Join the band, thinking 1 had gotten by, .Mr. Roam asked, Where's your readmittance slip? I decided that the only thing to do was to tell him the truth: Well, 1 was delayed, Mr. Roam. I left the house early, at eight o'clock. As I walked by a drug store I noticed a dark, foreign looking roan, with a clipped mustache, smoking a long yellow cigarette, wearing white gloves, and watching something In the store, through the window. When I walked by him, he introduced himself as Rosslnoff, saying that he wished me to give a letter to a man telephoning in the store, and that he would give me firty cents for doing so. I could see the man through the window, a sly, nervous looking man. Rosslnoff spoke with an indistinguishable accent, gave me a letter addressed to Borkillo. I was curious about the letter, since it was worth fifty cents, and read It when I got in the store. It formally told Borkillo that his game was up, that he was practically in Rosslnoff's hands. After I gave the letter to Borkillo, he rushed out the back door, and I thought Rosslnoff would catch him. Rosslnoff was waiting for me, however, because he had seen me read the letter. Not so fast, he snarled, as he pushed me into his car, where Borkillo already lay on the floor. Then something happened, everything went black, and the next thing I knew I was sitting in a chair in a house I'd never seen before. Rosslnoff was pacing the floor, mumbling something in a foreign language, and Borkillo was huddled In a heap in the corner. As I moved, Rosslnoff shouted, Aha, and began questioning me about what I knew about the letter. I really hadn't made much sense from it, so it wasn't hard to play dumb. Then he and Borkillo went outdoors to have a duel. The man who had been watching Borkillo told me that Borkillo's gun contained only blanks. Rosslnoff let Borkillo fire first. Pretending that the blank had injured him, he staggered toward Borkillo, firing. Both collapsed. Then the guard rushed out and said that Borkillo must have put real bullets in his gun, because both men were dead. The guard burled them, blindfolded me, and brought me back, so here I am. That must have been quite an experience, Mr. Roam said dryly. I guess he didn't believe me for he asked: But where Is your readmittance slip? Well, what could I do? I turned and went up to the office. Elizabeth Weir THE VEILED INTRUDER Cathie Dupont's first year In college proved to be a rather quiet one. Living in the dormitory with more than a hundred girls, her floor was especially designated for freshmen, and she had made many acquaintances. Dorm life was comparatively quiet except for little things they thought up on the spur of the moment, and usually got caught at. One night, after they had all gone to bed and her roommate and she were fast asleep, they were awakened suddenly by an unearthly scream from one of the girls. The whole dorm was disturbed. The girl explained that she was lying in bed when a figure, completely clothed in black, passed her door and went walking down the hall. They dismissed this for the night with a grin, thinking the girl had had a nightmare. The next night Cathie was lying in bed thinking about it when slowly her door opened. She clenched her fists in terror. In walked the figure completely covered in a black robe. It crossed the room and bent over her. Then it slowly straightened up and walked out of the room. Cathie was so frightened she could not move. A moment later she heard an unearthly scream. Another girl had seen the veiled figure. This went on for several nights and the girls were completely terrorized, bolting their doors and windows. Finally, a council meeting was held and a plot was formed to capture this phantom. The next night, several girls stationed themselves in one certain room and one girl pretended to be asleep. Again the veiled figure entered and bent over her bed, then slowly started to depart from the room. The girls Jumped in, caught it, and held it, until the lights were turned on. When the veil was removed the phantom turned out to be one of the seniors, dressed in a choir robe, trying to scare the new freshmen. —Barbara Robertson FIRST YEAR FAVORITES STUDENTS' CHOICES I.
