During the year several of the rooms in the new building, which the school board planned have proven to be of spe cial value. They are the public speaking band home economics and sci ence lecture rooms Behind the scenes of any big worthwh1'e proicct we find those who are responsible directly for much of its success or failure. Members of this group give unselfishly of both time and energy and in return are given little credit and much criticism. In the case of the school this group is the school board This year the school and community loses a faithful and hard work- ing servant. Randall Tuttle, who has served unselfishly on the board for the past fourteen years, resigned. The last three years, Mr. Tuttle has very cap-ably served as president of the board. He gave much of his time even during the busy season of his own business to see first that everything in and about the school was in the best possible condition. The SPENCERIAN staff joins with the school and community in paying trib- ute to Mr. Tuttle for his years of service. John Cory Jr., was made the new president- of the board while the vacancy in the board was filled by Dale Norton. We feel sure that these men in their new positions will keep Spencer high the great school that it is. page 7 MR. KNUDSEN, MISS WARNER MISS WILLIAMS, MR. SEYMOUR MISS MEYER, MR. FES1' MISS MCMILLAN, MR. NELSON MISS COLBURN, MR. RECKSEEN MISS VAN VVINKLE page S Ugunlauinq the Ujecilaqocbtuea Concerning circles and rectangles Harold J. Booth could certainly give you all the angles, be- cause through geometry he taught the language of size and shape. However, he didn't confine himself to mathematics, for he was freshman boys' athletic coach, as well as Senior Class and Hi-Y sponsor. Miss Maxine Van Winkle kept the freshmen minding their Ps and Q's not- to mention their x's and y's. She was also assistant annual ad- visor and helped publish this year's SPENCER- IAN. Thorrel B. Fest one of our busiest and wit- tiest pedagogues found his science classes didn't keep him busy enough, so he directed the Senior Class Play, acted as boys' advisor, sponsored the Science club, and coached several speech activi- ties. Through the diligent and efficient work of J. W. Knudsen, and his staff, Spencer high's an- nual year book, the SPENCERIAN was made possible. Mr. Knudsen taught the freshman gen- eral science classes with a zest and his swing band showed the results of very able directing. The G. A. A. found a new up and com- ing sponsor in Miss Helen Meyer who taught girls' physical education and biology. Spencer high's success On the field and on the floor was due to Coach Irvin Nelson. Through him t-he boys learn how to play the game in life as well as in sports. Who was that economics teacher, that co- sponsor of the Junior Class, that leader of the peace groups with the sparkling sense of humor? Of course, it was C. Lester White. The Lady of the Maps was Miss Dora Jen- sen who taught history. Miss Jensen directed the political meeting for the World's Greatest County Carnival and was Student Council Spon- sor. At mid-year those lucky freshmen were taught their English by Mrs. Myrtle Smith who had poet-ry and poster exhibits and directed a freshman class play. Culture was taught the sophomores through their grammar and literature course by the charming Miss Ruth Crouse, who directed the sophomore play and has been for some time spon- sor of the Girl Reserves.

Senior Class, Dramatic Club, Junior English Classes, and Junior Play cast- were the many factions pleased with the vevacity and enthusiasm of Miss Mar- cella Colburn. Miss Johanna Pokorny taught Latin and Spanish Classes, junior and senior English, also sponsored Pep Club, G. A. A. and Girl Reserve organizations. Miss Helda McMillan stressed the need of be- ing a homemaker more than a housekeeper, cook or seamstress. Under her stimulating leadership the Boys' Supper Club and the Homemaking Club have flourished. Beginning homemakers found their courses interesting under the teaching of Miss Lucille Tigges, who was new in that department and co- sponsor of the Homemaking Club. If you liked to draw and saw, you would have found Austin Shearer just your man, for he taught mechanical drawing and manual training. In athletics, too, Mr. Shearer was prominent as the coach of our second team. Wesley Seymour found hmself very busy with the teaching of' his agricultural classes and sponsoring of the F. F. A. besides leading adult agricultural groups. In Miss Irene Warner's typing classes it didn't take the student long to correct his hunt and peck system. The T'nT commercial club found their peppy leader's help indispensable in the planning and executing of t-heir meeting. The mystery of shorthand was disclosed in the classes of Miss Marguerite Russell who also successfully helped sponsor the Junior Class in the planning of their prom, acted as co-sponsor of the T'nT, was in charge of the active yell leaders, and a sponsor of Girl Rserves. Acting as coach for the debate team, spon- sor for Hi-Y and teaching public speaking, biolo- gy, business training, and ancient history were only a part of the duties performed with the fa- cility and patience of our master of dry wit and satire, Lee H. Campbell. Whenever we saw our marching band and heard their beautiful tones we thanked Harold Reckseen for his leading of Spencer high's sym- phonic band. To keep the pitch and time right and to have lovelier music were the goals the talented Miss Blanche Williams succeeded in attaining in the direction of the various vocal music groups.

Right: Tripp and Pullen. Cuntain Rlaea The curtain rises on two young men sound asleep. And rise it did on this, the first scene of Mistakes at the Blakesf' These two authors, Gary and Tom Blake, portrayed by Wally Tripp and Lester Pullen, enter on a most ridiculous series of events, during the course of the play, fifty thousand dollars, a sheep dog, a beautiful heiress, and a bug house at- tendant all enter their lives to the accompani- ment of hilarious laughter from the audience which enjoyed this year's Senior Class play. Mary Cummings and Marilynn Remer ad- ded the love interest. These girls took the part-s of Roberta Sims, heiress, and D ucky Lucky Larsen. Ervin Chesley, Bill Larsen, was Ducky Lucky's prize-fighter brother. The lawyer, Herman Carter, who started the train of events was played by Dick Beck and DeEtte Chaney was his wife, Mrs. Carter. The grasping landlady was Florence Peter- son, known as Mrs. Perkins in the comedy. Mrs. Greengas, Irene Bates, had a co m e d y part as were the parts of Ike and Mike or Ben Larsen and Herman Estes. During t-he play people become slightly queer and a matron from the home for the feeble minded, Mrs. Pinkle, arrives to find a psuedo Napoleon and Welling- ton. Mary King was Mrs. Pinkle and Rita Prechel was the nurse. Of course, there was a happy ending to the production which was so well staged by Direc- tor Thorrel Fest.

Burdette the Junior Class staged a grand production un- der the direction of Miss Marcella Colburn. The trials and tribulations of the Rand family held the int-erest of the au- dience until the curtain dropped. Franklin Rand, the harrassed father, who realizes his failure When they become bankrupt was played by Don Morgan. Patricia Murphy enacted the role of' Julia Rand, socially ambitious wife of Franklin Rand. Of course, we could not forget the twins Est-her and Theodore, Dorothy Lighter and Jim Doudna in real life, and their sister, Diana Rand, played by Marilyn Axtell, the so- phisticated daughter whose plans were not approved by Clyde Kelly, as Norman Aldrich. Most of the comedy for the play was supplied by Kitty, the maid, Marjorie Rubis, and Elmer, the milkman, John Howe, while the romance of the play was given to us by Wayne Winslow as Donald Rand and Joyce Mickelsen as Margie Scanlon. Margie, being a bootlegger's daughter, was considered far below the social prestige of the Rand family, but Margie and Donald eloped, and it was due to her that the play received its happy ending through the defeat of the villain, Richard Crandall, played by Jim Bjornstad. In the supporting cast were Dick Coder, Pat McKinney, Betty Cook, Lois Ralle, Maeojean Barnett, Dale Klassey, Lawrence Fatheree, Harvey McVey, Ortha Seaman, Betty Smith, John Bowers, Arlene Maurer, and Carol Jones.

Those participating in this contest are Pat Murphy, Barbara Wellmerling, Arnold Larsen, Frances Dickinson, DeEtte Chaney, and Irene Bates. When Director Thorrel B. Fest entered his speakers in a cont-est they emerged vic- torious. Two contests were held with the Estherville speakers, and the Spencer stu- dents spoke at meetings outside of school. The primary interests of the speakers were to broaden their understanding of economic and social problems and to develop the abili- ty to express themselves in an interesting' manner. The final home contest was held March 9, at which Pat Murphy was chosen to rep- resent Spencer at the district- contest to which Spencer was host. Several non-deci- sion meets are scheduled for the speakers next year, in which they will be able to hold round table discussions and talk before new audiences. Extemporaneous speakers are looking forward to next year with consider- able enthusiasm, for they feel they have gained much experience and know t-hey can gain even more in the future.

Cvvluatache When Tookie Truax walked into Junior Deane's life things began to happen, for in order to rate with Tookie the boys had to grow mustaches. Junior was played by Rene Jacobs. Tookie Truax, the object of his affections, was Betty Turnbull. Mr. and Mrs. Dean, the harrassed parents of two very modern chil- dren, were played very successfully by Vir- ginia Jones and James Loomer, while Jo Nu- gent, as Emma Farley, the old maid school teacher, came upon the scene when Junior played hookey. Lending the modern touch to the story, Dorothy Enderson played the part of Junior's sister, Ann Dean. To cli- max the play, in walked Bob Snyder, as Mr. Truax, bringing the news that Mr. Deane was a rich man for they had struck a rich vein in the Gladys Silver Mine. The curtain slowly rolled up to reveal a set darkly illuminated by blue lights. Madge, Bunny, Bob and Homer settled down to keep watch until midnight, the time when all conventional ghosts appear. It seems they had taken a dare and had been honor bound to come t-o the haunted house and watch. Homer, the intellectual one of the group, made brilliant remarks throughout the play, and Bob, an all around good fellow tried to comfort the girls in several spots, although he himself was quaking in his shoes. Bunny, a girl who did not believe in ghosts, was either very fright-ened or very brave, and Madge was a good sport, always looking out for the other fellow. Madge fainted, Homer was pushed down the cellar, the lights went out, the girls screamed, and the town clock struck midnight. A ghost appeared and then an Irish policeman, Tim. The ghost proved to be an escaped convict and the curtain came down on the mystery. .,-f ' 'Ei Top: Part of cast. Top Center: Freshmen see a ghost. Lower Center: Captured!

As might be expected, every meeting was not devoted to acting. The club had a diversified program which included study- ing the correct stage make-up, discussing the best movies and plays of 1937, and learn- ing choric reading. The program commit- tee spent much time planning the unusual programs of the year and selecting short and appropriate plays which they presented before P. T. A. and church groups. The chairman of the program committee for the year was Coyla Chaney. To climax the year this club presented a one act play as t-he closing assembly pro- gram. This play was directed by a member of the club. At the first meeting of the year Mary Cummings was elected president of the club, and Miss Marcella Colburn sponsored this group of Broadway Beginners. page JU Upper 1eft-Mem- bers listen to Grace Redmond read in- struction, Upper right - M.

Jnitiatiue, dQE't8TlEL Hd LL YYl Ctndl Recallf Ladies and Gentlemen: Resolved, that the several states should adopt a unicameral system of legislation. Remembering their initiative referendum and recall, the Spencer debaters ar- gued both the pros and cons of this quest-ion dur- ing the 1937 and 1938 year. Under the guidance of Lee Campbell, six- teen debaters-some new, some already experi- enced-made trips throughout Iowa and Sout-h Dakota. At Cherokee, Estherville, Fort Dodge, and Madison, South Dakota, high school students found much competition in the Spencer debate squads. These trips to other schools were the high lights of the debaters' school life this year, for not only did they find traveling fun. but they met many other students, like themselves, who were interested in debating, and several friend- ships were formed. The first team debaters this ycfar were: Jim Bjornstad, Lawrence Fatheree, Clyde Kelly, Arnold Larsen, Don Morgan, and Pat Murphy. Harold Wellmerling, a post graduate and an ex- perienced debater, acted as substitute, for regu- lar members when they were unable to debate. The first week of the second semester found Spencer host to a Tri-State Debate Tournament with schools from South Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa competing. Spencer did not win this tour- nament but made a very good showing. On the twelft-h of March a district contest was held here in which Spencer ranked high. The debaters were a busy group of students during the first of the year, until the middle of March, when their scheduled debates came to an end. Throughout the whole of the debating sea- son, however, the training received by all int-er- ested was especially valuable.

They started the season off rather poorly, dropping their first two contests. Toward the end of the season, a group of boys who will be eligible to compete in high school football next year, went over to Emmetsburg and played an identical group of fellows over there. The Spencer fellows were victorious by a score of 14 to 0. Some of the second team fellows who will see regular service on the first team next year are- Wallace Bjornstad, Dick Coder, Myron Schwarck, Bill Schwarck, Morrie Preston, Vern Goyette and Walter Hicks. Coach Harold Booth had the hairtearing job of moulding a football team out of the freshmen boys. They won a 6-0 victory over Linn Grove and also lost one contest to that school. They won an- other victory over the Spencer scrubs and lost one contest to Emmetsburg. Some of the outstanding freshmen players are: Ralph Runkle, Dick Metier, Knox Campbell, Beryl Ericksen, Ace Cory, Gail Jones, Virgil Jones and Verne Hansen. Left - Freshmen Coach Harold Booth.

He gathers all his gentle boys and away they go to dear old Leach Field to see how many arms and ankles they can break to say nothing of knocking out teeth et cetera. The snaps in the opposite column are typical of any balmy, autumn afternoon. Leach Field is a great deal like any other foot- ball field in the Lakes Conference schools, boast- ing of eight light posts with plenty of brilliance for night play. This year bleachers were erected for the more sedate fans. These bleachers are on both sides of the field so that visitors may en- joy their use also. At 3:40 the boys leave their classes and troop none to quietly to the locker room where they don their armor and sally forth to make a name for themselves or a monkey out of themselves. At games, the high school band plays and at the half time make beautiful formations on the field. The little drum major in the snap is Jean Peter- son of the grade school band. At the start of the season several nights are put in at just merely taking excersises and getting in shape, something that does the player more good than years of scrimmage. After the fellows get in shape they start blocking and tackle practice and memorize their plays. Every so often the fellows meet in the gym and have what is termed as skull practice, or learn- ing their plays and other fundamentals. In any football game or any athletic contest of any kind, cooperation is the outstanding thing to observe. No matter how green a bunch of fellows are, if they will cooperate they can make a suc- cess of the venture. Cfha-213 J'lanc9Qe the Uftallf ORVAL SPIRY: Spike was a three letter man in basketball and indispensable to the team. His hook shots and good floor play made him outstanding in every phase of the game. MARCUS COUGHENOUR: Snuf- fy was the hot shot of the team, rolling in the points very consistently. His long shots were something any fellow would be mighty pleased to beat. WALLY TRIPP: In his first year of first team competition, Wally played a good floor game and did his share of the scoring. His light build handicapped him in follow ins and all around playing. NED FREE: This was also Ned's first year of first team competition. He developed into an outstanding guard, was shifty, and a warrior at heart. CHARLES THURSTON: Chick gave two years of ' his time to the first team although he graduated at midyear, he gave an excellent account of himself up to that time. We be- lieve it would be hard to find a guard in the Lakes Conference to top him. WEBSTER SUMMERS: Webb was brought up from the second team to fill the vacancy left by Chick Thurston. Swede is an excellent ball handler and will give a good account of himself next year. Swede is the only man on the first squad that will be back next year.

Lower Row: Second team in action, Spike sinks another. Illlgll .16 ALLEN COUGHENOUR: In the race for first berth posi- tion Allen gave them all a scare and might have done more if he had taken his work seriously. He is a good shot and a consistent passer. RICHARD BECK: Fritz was dead on the basket and a good dribbler, but his size handicaped him and his defense was poor. However, he saw a little service in the first of the season. CLIFFORD SARGENT: Sarg was also a good shot but his size and inexperience held him on the bench with Beck. ERVIN CHESLY: Cheeze had no experience as a basketball player, but he developed into a consistent guard. LESTER PULLEN: Si was not called to practice until late in the season, but he gave a good account of himself once he donned his suit. He had plenty of fight and was an all round rugged player. DON DeWALL: Don was also a second team player that was brought up to the first squad for the tournament. He was good at his right handed hook shots and will find a place on next years quintet, undoubtedly. BOB VERNER: Bob was brought from the second team for the sectional tournament where he played several minutes and totaled up some points for Spencer. Bob is a cool player, and his left hand passes and long shots are very good.

LOVVER ROW: SECOND SQUAD, FRESHMEN SQUAD AT PRACTICE. .Stevia-toe be Austin Shearer, the second team mentor, took a bunch of green bas- ketball players and made a well balanced shift-y team. The fellows were helped much by their previous year of competition as freshmen. The en- tire squad, excepting two or three, were sophomores and big things are expected of them in the next two years. This season they won three and lost five contest-s, many of the wins by lopsided scores. In the annual Clay County Tournament, the boys made a remarkable showing, even with their lack of height. ln the first game they tangled with the previously highly touted Peterson Quintet, which had lost one game during the season and that by a one-point margin. The Little Tigers showed a surprising attack and were never headed by the fellows from Southern Clay. In the second round they walked all over Royal, using subs all t-he last half of the game. But the Little Tigers missed innumerable set-ups in the semi-final Dickens game, and although they led most of the time, they were nosed out in the last few minutes by a one point margin. You will recall that is precisely what the Dickens Quintet did the year before, also. The Baby Bengals didn't lose their fighting spirit however. They came back strong in the evening to sound- ly trounce Rossie and capture the new tournament ball as token of their third place rating. This, a successful season ended, all of the fellows will be eager to do more big things for Spencer high next- season. The starting lineup for the seconds was usually, Pudgy Bjornstad, and Morrie Preston at guards. Don Sondergaard at the center post, while Dunce Verner and Don DeWall held down the forward positions. Verner was selected for a position on the all County First' Team for his ability to sink long shots and for playing an excellent floor game.

But it was not without a deadly encounter with the last year's champions, the juniors. In the final game the count stood 23 with but a minute to play, when Marilyn Remer, the senior's star forward, changed her method of playing and made a basket to win the game and the championship for the Senior Class. In the first games the seniors whipped the sophomores 25-13, while the juniors barely nosed out the freshmen 27-2. As the second games roll- ed around the juniors beat the sophomores and the seniors beat the fresh- men. That gave the seniors and juniors the honor of clashing in the final for the championship. Many athletic amazons were discovered in the race for the coveted positions on the first teams. It would be hard to say who was outstand- ing to say the least. But here are the stars for the girls class basketball teams: SOPHOMORES: Helen Kabrick, forwardg Geraldine Rehfield, for- wardg Ruth Ann Swallum, center.

At- the start of the season the weather did not permit the boys to go down to Leach Field so they had their muscle limbering excersises in the gymnasium. Th ey go through various and sundry set- ting up exercises to loosen in much unused muscles. This is the most undesirable part- of the track season for the fellows as they have to train hard and get into the spirit of the thing. This season there were only two lettermen returning for the current schedule. These boys were Jack Hugunin and Melvin Tuttle. They both ran in the middle distance lengths. Around these two fellows Coach Nelson built a promising squad. In the first meet at Estherville, the boys made a poor showing as far as points were concerned but that was of small import- ance considering the competi- tion they were up against and the comparative inexperience of the fellows as a whole. Another week and another track meet. In this one held at Emmetsburg, Spencer did some- what better by finishing a strong second. Being beaten out by the veteran Irish squad. The third party in the meet was Spirit Lake who were several points in the rear. In this meet- Dewall was outstanding, gar- nering slightly over twenty points all together. Don won the pole vault and the high jump and took seconds in hur- dle races and middle distance runs. Verner took second in the pole vault and Loomer took a third in the high jump. In the broad jump Enderson and Goy- ette placed fourth and second respectively. Goyette also placed in the 100 yard sprint. Spencer got several of its points in the relays. i High Jump Relay Hurdles 440-Yard Dash Javelin, Pole Vault page 53 PUBLICATIONS CLUBS Cla Ullfach cwlaqic Black Magic very well describes many of the activities of the Roger Bacon Science Club, for President Tommy Tuttle prepared unusual demon- strations of magic for each meeting of the group. Thorrell Fest, sponsor, assisted the officers in pre- paring programs for the year. The initiation service was more difficult to pass this year then ever before and the thirty new mem- bers experienced moments of terror and inadequate knowledge when such questions as Einstein's theory of relativity were put before them. Outside speakers on the subjects of palmistry, mental telephathy, and the making of cellophane and rayon, were introduced at various meetings. The members this year were very interested in science and were ready to cooperate and tell their ideas on the subject. The Junior Academy of Science's annual meeting was held in Sioux City, at which Don Morgan was elected state president. Through the year the mem- bers had been working on projects to take to the meet. A four-inch reflecting telescope, which was begun last year, was successfully completed this year. Also a model refrigeration plant, frog skele- tons and a model fish hatchery were taken to the meet. This year the club was very successful be- cause all the members had such an active interest in all fields of science. Upper left. Biology holds their interest.

Yes indeed and a very im- portant one for it is the emblem of the loyal, happy, and faith- ful Girl Rescrvcs in Spencer high, who during the year enter- tained outside speakers and gave several educational programs within their own membership. One of the irost impressive meetings of the year was held last fall at the Congregational Church when the new members were initiated by the cabinet in the beautiful and solemn candle lighting ceremony. At this meeting the new members were given the blue triangles and lighted candles as a symbol of their faithfulness to the G. R. organization. A new Christmas Service was given, rather than the an- nual Vesper Service, at Christmas time. All the girls practiced long hours, under the direction of Miss Blanche W illiams, to be rewarded with a very effective cantata, The King of Christ- mas, Miss Hazel Strayer, dramatic instructor at Iowa State Teachers' College was brought to Spencer by this organiza- tion and the meeting was opened to the public. Her character sketches and skits were very well done and the entire audi- ence enjoyed and appreciated them very much. Perhaps the year was climaxed by another famous artist's visit later in the year when Mrs. Helen Adelle Leache Miller, the sculptress, came to Spencer. In the evening she modeled faces of people in the audience and the following day all the girls in G. R. were given a character analysis. When the joint G. R. and Hi-Y Conference was held at Storm Lake in March the entire cabinet of G. R. attended and several gave short speeches or led discussions. Along with the outside talent, the girls had monthly meet- ings at which they themselves provided the program. Such educational programs as discussing the ten most famous women in the United States and book reviews were appreci- ated. At Hallowe'en the Hi-Y and G. R. organizations has a masquerade party which, of, course, was very popular. The most active part of G. R. this year was the cabinet, which included as town sponsors, Mrs. L. W. Phelps, Mrs. Randall Tuttle, and Mrs. J. A. Cummings and Miss Ruth Crouse, Miss Marguerite Russell, and Miss Johanna Pokorny as faculty sponsors. They had teas, potluck suppers with the cabinets from surrounding towns, and organized a District Girl Reserve Council to plan joint activities. The Spencer girls on this council were: Grace Redmond, vice-president, and Joyce Mickelsen, corresponding secretary. During the summer the Girl Reserves gave many of the Spencer people an opportunity to learn to play tennis by repairing the tennis courts at the North School, and during the winter aided in the construction of a skating pond. An important phase of Girl Reserve work is social welfare. At Thanksgiving time, baskets were prepared and delivered to unfortunate families. Christmas gifts were donated, wrapped and delivered to poor children by Girl Reserve members. During the coldest months, milk was furnished to families with children who would have been without it. The Girl Reserve organization stands for loyalty, friend- ship, faithfulness, finding the best, and reverence to God. Their activities bring them together with many girls and make new friends, and prepare them with the ability to make friends. It is these principles that maintain the triangle eternal in our school life. Top Row: Miss Strayer, Wrapping gifts, Christmas Contata. Lower Row: G. R.

Knudsen Miss Van Winkle Members of Homemaking Club in various activities. page 63 A Stitch in ima Leaving the trials and troubles of home- making behind them the members of t-he home- making club based their activities of the year around improving their personalities. The four sponsors, Miss Helda McMillan, Miss Lucille Tigges, Mrs. Helen Mann and Miss Alberta Green planned the programs of the club with the purpose of developing personality in the girls. The girls had the opportunity of giv- ing various types of entertainment such as parties, pot luck suppers and a picnic along with their regular monthly meetings. Remembering the ways of developing the personality they invited outside speakers in to speak on the various subjects. As personal appearance is very important business women were invited to visit the club and discuss with them the care of hands, hair, and complexion and clothes for the school girl. In order to give the girls a chance to de- velop personality by appearing before audi- ences talent programs were given such as a Christmas play, amateur hour, and the fresh- men a one act play, Stars and Groceries. One entire meeting was devoted to a poetry hour, so the girls could learn to appreciate the finer arts. The one large project of the club this year was making and furnishing the curtains for the new lunch room. This was a very nice gift to the school and t-he girls took much time in preparing them. Any girl that takes homemaking is eligible for the club and this year they had seventy members, led by Marjory Rubis. Ffheufne C-Vi.0'C Clgz-:A Cwlen Mr, Chairman: The meetings were called to order by our student body president, Wally Tripp, and the various committees reported. The committees for the year were: program, publicity, locker, halls, lights, trophy case, li- brary, and dance. Contrary to public opinion the members of Student Council do speak their minds and are not merely yes-men. At every meeting some time was given to planning the school dances, securing parents as chaperones, and also improving the general conduct of the student body. Outstanding work was done by the publi- city committee, under the leadership of Miss Irene Warner. The committee met every morn- ing at eight o'clock and prepared posters, an- nouncements and items of interest for the bul- ietin boards. Miss Do1'a Jensen was the advisor for the program committee, which secured the talent for we-kly assemblies. These programs were put on by the home rooms, outside talent, and paid assemblies. The library and locker committees, under Miss Marcella Colburn, both did outstanding work this year. In the past there has been considerable trouble making these committees function properly, but this year they were very successful. t In the fall the annual Student Council Conference was held at Storm Lake and here the councils discussed the possible solutions to their school problems. In the spring, represen- tatives attended a conference at Ames where the State Student Council Conference was held. The last meeting of the year was adjourn- ed in May. Commencicdt Cflub CT. 'n Traits 'n Techniques was the name as well as the theme of Spencer high's dynamic commercial club. The suitability of this theme was very evident in the pep and vivacity shown by this or- ganization throughout the year. In this way the dynamite idea was carried out. On the other hand perfect traits and techniques were the goal toward which every commercial student aimed. To have traits which will prove most valuable in later life in the business world was only one of the advantages received from membership in this club. Of course, one cannot be successful in a career if one has not mastered traits as well as techniques. During the past year the programs have been varied and inter- esting. They had plays and skits, speeches and a demonstration of a dictap-hone, which proved especially interest-ing and informative be- cause it is the new and coming thing in business. Typewriters, add- ing machines, and check writers of course were equally appropriate. Reports on commercial books, law debates, plays, outside speakers, typing notebooks, and several parties were more of their delightful programs. Among these parties were a Christmas party, out-side party, and several others. This flourishing club was started this year as a beginner in Spencer High School. The conditions under which a student Could belong were only that he had to be taking one or more commercial subjects and later planned to major in business. The business men of Spencer seemed to be very interested in this unusual enterprise. They had approximately seventy-five members most of whom attend- ed all of the meetings which were held the third week in every month. Top Row Officers and board, Friedricksen, T'nT Play. Lower Row: Gannon and Heckert, T'nT party, Rost and M. Schuldt. Members of T,nT The commit-tees which assisted in the year's work were as follows: Publicity Committee, whose peppy, original, and snappy publicity was commented on, Recreation Committee, who had excellent results in the planning of the parties, Pro' gram Committee, whose programs were so outstanding, Fi- nance Committee, whose job it was to collect and keep the dues and other money earned throughout the year. The boy who really set off the dynamite was the presi- dent, Duane Rost. The other officers, some of whom gradu- ated after the first semester also ably assisted. All of the club including the two sponsors, Miss Irene Warner and Miss Marguerite Russell aided in the writing of the constitution. All the rules were stated, and enforced un- less they were repealed by a two-thirds vote. This prominent club, T 'n T, had as their goal-that through membership in this organization the students might have been aided in their search for success in the business world. The fact that this organization was so outstanding dur- ing the year is especially remarkable because it was the club's initial year. Every member of Traits 'n Techniques vows that the club will lose none of its pep but will continue to be one of Spencer high's assets. page 6 Top Row: Testing cream is part of their work, selecting seed corn, Red takes it easy.

The organization had its inception from high school boys who were drawn together into local agriculture clubs or Junior Farmers as they were sometimes called. Soon several clubs were coordinated into a state organiza- tion and chose the name Future Farmers of America. Since its beginning the organization has enjoyed a tremendous growth, claims a total membership of over 120,000 farm boys. The Blue Water Chapter of Spencer High School was founded during the winter of 1937 by an original group of 14 boys who saw the opportunity of broadening their training for successful careers in their chosen field and who realized the benefits that such an organization would give both the school and the community. The local chapter now has a total membership of 36 boys, 90 per cent of those enrolled in the Vocational Agriculture Department. To function efficiently, the local chapter makes out its program of work at the beginning of the school year. This provides the members with certain definite goals that they wish to accomplish, both as a group and individually. Blue Water Chapter sponsored the following major proj- ects this year: Hybrid Seed Corn Associationg Swine Improve- ment Associationg Organized Recreation--Summer Camping Trip at Camp Fosterg Parliamentary Procedure Skillg Com- munity Service, etc. With their goals reached come More Blue Ribbons. hn.. M Tiqneaaea The Tigresses of Spencer high really roamed the jun- gles this year. They ripped and roared through many tour- naments during the year. In the fall a kittenball tournament was held, in which many participated. In the winter along came that old fa- vorite, basketball, and keen competit-ion ensued. Of course, ping-pong was an old standby. The Tigresses were many and at the head of the pack was that peppiest pepster of them all, Coyla Chaney. The club planned t0 work for points, which were kept by one person from each of the four classes. The Tigresses also planned to cap-ture one or more awards from t-he state. All awards and points were given for such things as bicycling, walking, skating, basketball, ping-pong, tennis, swimming, and in fact, most any form of at-hletics. One of their best projects of the year was a G. A. A. pot- luck supper. All of the girls in high school were invited and a delicious supper was served. The program consisted of speeches and G. A. A. songs. Yellow and purple ribbons were handed to each girl, and they went en masse to the game. They took the place of the Junior class at the Cherokee game and sold apples, candy, gum, etc., with splendid results. Several playdays were held. The G. A. A. girls from Spencer had one, to which they invited some of the surround- ing towns to join them. Its able sponsor, Miss Helen Meyer, carried the Tigres- ses through one of t-heir most successful years in the his- tory of Spencer high. Girls in Girls' Athletic Association line up around a basketball with their sponsor, Miss Helen Lou Meyer. Besides basketball they play kittenball, volley ball, ping pong and they go on long hikes. page 67 Hi-Yi Members. GUM qon Cnc All For One is the motto of the thriving organization Hi-Y. Year after year its members carry out their motto by helping one another to build a better world. Its projects resembled Y. M. C. A., fwith which organization it is affili- atedl. Many programs, both light and educational have been held during the year. Outside speakers and interesting plans helped to make serious programs popular with the boys. Harold Booth and Lee Campbell, its able sponsors, with the very able assistance of Mr. G. R. Patton, Y. M. C. A. secretary, helped make this year's work a tremendous success. At the beginning of the year a membership contest was held, as usual it was won by the seniors. At some of the more important of the meetings, G. R. and Hi-Y collaborated to provide for more stimulating pro- grams. The District Youth and Adult Conference was attended by a large delegation of Hi-Y boys and was well worthwhile. Several parties were held, and one of the most outstanding, was the annual Hi-Y-G. R. party, on Hallowe'en. There were also potluck suppers which were polished off with gusto. An overnight hike at Camp Foster resulted in a first hand study of nature. Handcraft and hobby classes were held for the develop- ment of each boy's individual talent. Thcir ideal was to make a closer relationship between the boys of high school and strive for a better world for the future, All For One. J Pictured above is the band. During their many performances in the au- ditorium they always sit in this arrangement on the stage. Of course, to make the picture com- plete Director Reckseen should be in the center. page 70 fl ,Cove cc CPanac9a I Love a Parade was heard a great many times last year as our school band paraded up and down and in and out for us, at games, pep assem- blies, concerts, contests and everywhere they ap- peared. At many of the games they made us proud of their super-splendid parading. A great va- riet-y of shapes such as circles, double-circles, and, of course, our opponent's letters, were made. This year our band was graced with not one, but two drum majors. Gwen Peterson, was the of- ficial drum major, and Jeanne Peterson, a grade student, assisted some of the figures they made. Several concerts were given during the year by the whole band. These concert-s were well attend- ed and appreciated by everyone who heard them. At several of the assemblies this year the band played in the full dress uniform. Individuals pre- sented solo numbers and were enjoyed to the fullest extent. The band played for outsiders at different times and t-hey gave concerts at the Clay County fair. Again this year they went to Iowa City and brought back high honors to Spencer high. Such a winning band is surely the pride of our school and well it may be to attain such outstanding recog- nition in the state contest. Stcmcl Clllp cmcll Chem Let's stand up and cheer for the outstanding ability of Spencer students and the wonderful way in which they represent the school. A cheer for a sophomore, Gwen Peterson, on her excellent rating for her flute solo, Andalouse. Other baritone players found Noel Champion a very good rival for the laurels in that field of music. The slide of the trombone was skillfully illustrated by Duane Rost. Many were the cheers for the drummer boy, Jim Doudna, whose ability ranked him at the top. Nimble fingers were a nec- essary feature for Bruce Batson when he played his saxophone and won high honors. An excellent rating on a bass solo at the sub- district contest, and a superior rating for student directing at the district were the honors received by one of our representatives at the music contest, Lawrence Fatheree. To the strains of La Mandalinates Wayne Winslow, Spencer high's Ray Eldridge, went soar- ing to success in all contests. Rating superior at the sub-district and district contests Wayne went to the national contest where he received high honors. A Cornet maestro was Tommy Tuttle, who represented Spencer very well as a member of the National School Band and Orchestra at St. Louis, and went to the national contest at Minneapolis. Such outstanding success in the field of instru- mental music to the point that three Spencer stu- dents went to the national contest undoubtedly was a great credit to Harold Reckseen, talented director. It was for these talented musicians that the student body does stand up and cheer.

Many towns people were pleased with the singing peasant girls or the six members of the small vocal group who received a superior rating at the district contest. Negro spiritu- als, religious hymns, and other types of music were sung by the boys' octett-e. Still another small group was formed by nine freshman girls. A mixed quartet added variety to the program of all the performances given. Again Spencer high was represented at the district contest when the Mixed Quartet- won high hon- OTS. ln every program by the vocal groups two acccmpanists, Beth Nielsen and Gwen Peterson, played a very important part as they lent more beauty to the selections with their pianos. Such a successful year as the vocal groups have had has been due to the directing of Miss Blanche Williams. Without her talented lead- ing the vocal groups would not have been so successful. Certainly much has been added to the true sense of appreciation of music of many adult-s and students through the motto of our vocal groups, Say It With Music.

N ofun Chondl, 03Qeal.n-2 Let's hear your chord, please and so started another rehearsal of the various vocal groups in Spencer high. On November 19th a vocal music program was presented at the Congregational Church. Later, the Christmas assembly program was given on December 17th. The first part of the musical included varied types of selections and the second was devoted to Christmas music with a living Christmas t-ree, depicted by fifteen senior girls. As another activity the girls of the Mixed Chorus and the Girls' Glee Club assisted the Girl Reserves with their Christmas Contata. On April 4th the con- testants for the contests presented a concert in collaberation with the instrumental depart'- ment. Several groups entered the state music contest which were as follows: Girls' Glee Club, Mixed Chorus, Mixed Quartet, Girls' Vocal Group, and soloists Raejean Gould, and Warren Pennington. The latter received a su- perior rating at the sub-district contest. The Girls' Glee Club and Mixed Chorus received superior ratings at the district contest, which entit-led them to attend the national contest at Minneapolis, Minnesota. With many successful programs to their credit, the music groups ended a year of suc- cess. As had started each rehearsal, so end- ed the music year, Let's hear your chord, please.

LOWER ROW: CORONATION CEREMONY, DANCING AT THE PROM. page 74 Jlncll So cTl l.E.l5 'Dancecll And so they danced might easily he the theme of Spencer students, for dancing is part of the fun in high school life. Throughout t-he year numerous dances are held on Friday nights, to celebrate a big game or for no special reason at all-just to dance. The ordinary school dances are sponsored by Student Council and chaperoned by parents. Occasion- ally an out of t-he ordinary dance is sponsored by some organization. However, the annual Junior-Senior Prom has no comparison with school dances. This event- is looked forward to by every underclassman, and it's really an honor to be able to work and plan for the Prom as jun- iors. The dance given in 1937 by this year's seniors carried out the coro- nation theme. Each person in the class worked on a committee for this prom. The committee chairman were: DeEtte Chaney, budget-, Catherine Cuttell, refreshment, Mary Hurd, favors, Leanne Phelps, hostess, Florence Peter- son, decorations, Bruce Batson, feature dance, Ben Larson, time and place, Margaret Wahlstrom, guests, Wilma Jones, orchestra, Beth Niel- sen, specialty, Verne Est-es, programs, Bob Johnson, theme, and Flor- ence Skinner, clean-up. Invitations were royal commands and dance programs carried a royal coat of arms on purple suede. The program was an actual coronation of the president and vice president of the Senior Class. All in all the Cor- onation Prom was an event never to be forgotten! Of course, the spon- sors, Miss Irene Warner and .Harold Booth, along with the Junior Class president, Lester Pullen, are not to be forgotten for their work either. Knute s Koncert Kings in action Swtnq Clahiffthmh Whether vou are partial to the rippling rhythm of Shep Fields, the swing of Benny Goodman, or the torrid trumpet of Louis Armstrong you found the rhythm of the Knute's Konccrt Kings much to your liking The schedule for s hool dances included ten at thc Oll Legion Hall, where the orchestra played on a new ntocleri istic stage, with all the latest dance hits The orchestra included sixteen pieces-colnets, saxo phones, trombones, bass horns, bass voil, French horns violins, drum, piano, and banjo. Leading in the torrid music were the trumpeters-Tommy Tuttle, Wayne Wins low and Dale Cole the soothing and softer music featured Betty Evans, Bruce Batson, and Naomi Namur with their saxophones. In the bass section sat Lawrence Fatheree and Dean Walters, while Margaret Schuldt played the French horn. Other pieces forming the background for the orchestra played fast or slow, loud or soft, were: Duane Rost and Mary Warburton, trombones, supplying the music on the violins were Marjorie Rubis and Virginia Ducharnte. As every orchestra must have an accompanist and a drummer so did the K. K. K. Gwen Peterson sat at the piano and Jim Doudna behind the drums, and Grace Red- mond played a banjo. At many dances of the season a feature dance was held. Dances for which prizes were given or choosing partners by some unique plan, formed a part of the party. These dances were waited from week to week as a chance to learn to dance, and for a few a chance to try the Big Apple. page STUDENT LIFE rrqf' fx 1. Men against the world. 2. Im a hobo hurray. 3.
