J4ll'f One for All may be the motto of the Girl Reserve Clubg at least, it certainly is one for which it strives. The Girl Reserves are recognized by everyone as a loyal happy and faithful group and is easily the outstanding girls' or- ganization in Spencer High School. One of the main reasons for Girl Reserve success is their code which is, Gracious in mannerg Impartial in judgmentg Ready for serviceg Loyal to friendsg Reaching towards the bestg Ever dependable: Seeing the beautifulg Eager for knowledgeg Reverent to Godg Earnest in purpose. As usual, one of the most beautiful and most impressive meetings of the year was held last fall at the Spencer High School Auditorium when the new members were initiated by the cabinet in the sacred and solemn candle lighting ser- vice. It is at this service that the new members of the G. R. are given the blue triangles and lighted candles as a symbol of their loyalty to the organization. The Christmas Service this year again swung back to the old form, a Vesper Service. Many long hours were spent under the direction of Miss Blanche Williams. But in the end, they were rewarded with a very effective cantata, The Childe Jesus. Dr. Paul Poponoe, leader of family relations at the In- stitute of Public Relations in Los Angeles, California, was brouglvt to Spencer during the year. by the Girl Reserves with the help of other civic organizations. He seemed to be enjoyed very much by the audience. Another highlight of the year, sponsored by the Girl Reserve Club, was the visit of another famous person, Rabbi David A. Goldstein. His talk on world affairs was met with great approval. This organization sponsored a Youth-Adult Confer- ence jointly with the Hi-Y. The meeting was held in March and was attended by such distant schools as Vermillion, South Dakota, and Worthington, Minnesota. This confer- ence was definitely one of the most successful undertakings of the year. One of the cleverest themes of many years was carried out this year in relation to the G. R. bi-weekly meetings. The entire theme was centered around YOU , Aside from these meetings, special craft classes were introduced to the girls for the first time. Again, the most active part of G. R. was the cabinet, which this year added two new offices, that of historian and corresponding secretary. They had potluck suppers, teas, and meetings with surrounding towns. According to the annual custom of the club, baskets were again given to the unfortunate families at Thanksgiv- ing and Christmas. It is all these things which give the Girl Reserves their many friends and their ability to get along with others. And it is with great pleasure that every girl strives to live up to theye standards. vacious GV6I'l91f 321 ust' fke CZ- 6 Traits 'n Techniques, the commercial club which made its debut in Spencer High School in 1938 has proved very beneficial to those students who are actually interest- ed in going into offices. Businesslike traits and techniques, which will prove most valuable in later life in the business world, were the goals toward which every member of the club has aimed. As a result of joining T 'n T the students have a better and broader knowledge of what is wanted in the business world, because they have become better ac- quainted with the needs of business. Plays and skits, speeches, book reports on subjects of interest to the club, discussion meetings, unusual contests, outside speakers from Chamber of Commerce, Business and Professional Women's Club, and business houses in town, have made a varied, interesting and educational year. Several parties added to the social life of its members. The Hallowe'en party which was held in the Homemaking rooms was thrilling from the scarey entrance and ghost sto- ries to the refreshments. The Christmas party consisted of a dinner prepared by the members of the Commercial Club. Each member drew a slip to find what work they were to do toward preparation of the dinner. The banquet was eat- en in the light of the Christmas tree and candles. After the dinner, presents were distributed to all. Marceliene Garnjobst, president, presided at the regu- lar meetings, conducted the informal discussion groups, and called the executive meetings. The vice-president, Mary Frances Boyle, was chairman of the program committee Marjorie Louter, secretary, and Audrey Patton, treasurer, heiped to put some skills into practice. Miss Ruth Loomis and Miss Irene VVarner, sponsors, have contributed a great deal to the success and popularity of the club. The committees have played a very important part in the club. The publicity committee, with Mary Byers acting as chairman, has done a very nice job of keeping up the T 'n T scrapbook. Mildred Mai, chairman of the recreation committee, was responsible for the good times had at the parties this year. The Tournament of Typist's, the second annual con- test for all typing students, was again sponsored by the club. Frances Kolb, an active member of the club, won the plaque, and Joan Borchard was given an engraved cup for winning in the consolation group. A follow-up study of graduates was started in the Com- mercial'Department a year ago, and the present T 'n T members have gathered the data from last year's graduates and brought the study up to a point where it is of much value to them.

Another program centered around the problem of Keeping Your Bedroom in Step with 1939. Several girls used their bedroon s as examples and the members decided on th, best arrangement of furniture and the combin- ation of colors for that particular bedroom con- sidering the location of the windows and thu si7e. Many xarious and interesting hobbies wer' exhibited at one meeting. Among them were a collection of perfume bottles, souvenirs mark- ed with the names of various cities, and a col- lection of pottery heads. OVMCWQA 461 5 During the winter the club decided to have a theater party. A special committee met with the president, Mary Jane Estes, to choose a movie. They selected the very appropriate pro- duction, That Certain Age. Christmas brought the customary Christ- mas party, a very special event in the social ac- tivities of the Homemaking Club. Inexpensive gifts were exchanged. A pot luck supper before the game was suggested during the basketball season, and the plans were carried out the following Tues! day. The sponsors, Miss Lucille Tigges, Miss Es- ther Nelson, Mrs. Harold Williams, and Mrs. Helen Mann helped to plan and attended many of the programs. The club consisted of about fifty members. The girls packed the picnic basket once more for the grand, annual, Homemaking Club picnic held at the lakes which ended a very full year of club activities. 4 LA1enb your sreecb .ai 'KH-le, est if wwav yous' ovfunes-- -Shakespeare These words might easily have been he slogan of the 1938-39 ex- tempore speaking group under the successful guidance of Thorrell B. Fest. As an extra curricular activity the group met twice a week at which time discussions of current topics were given. In addition to the extemp contests, panel discussions found favor with many of the stu- dents as did informal conversation. All four classes were well rep-- resented in this year's extemp group including Pat Murphy, sen- ior veteran with four years exper- ienceg Grace Redmond and Fran- ces Dickinson, active juniors with two years of speech work, Jerry Campbell, a junior who was a new- comer this yearg Betty Ann Erick- son, only sophomore representative with one season of active work, and a host of freshmen including Bill Fais, Dick Doudna, Jim Bul- lock, Carol Beck, Jo Hamilton, and Eugene Dickinson, Storm Lake acted as host to Spencer at an extemp contest, Pe- terson and Spencer had a dual meet, and at Algona two groups, one extemp and one panel discus- sion were held. Spencer then held a tournament in which Laurens, Pe- terson, Algona, and Spencer par- ticipated in the panel discussion group or one of the two extemp groups. In each of the meets, Spen- cer has ranked well. Each year since its initial start, the group has increased both in size and interest. At the annual dist- rict extemp contest held in Spen- cer, our representative, Pat Mur- phy, ranked fourth, and next year Mr. Fest has hopes of adding new laurels to the speech department as well as increasing the members of individuals participating in the activity.

Since its beginning, it has experienced a tremendous growth. It now has over 120,000 members and operates in the United States and the Hawaiian Islands. The first year boys of the organization are known as green- handsf' They enjoy the same privileges as the older members of the organization, except they cannot hold an office. After greenhands have taken a year of vocational argriculture, completed a satisfactory supervised project, and made and deposited or productively invested 332500, they are promoted to the Future Farmer degree. VVhen they have completed two years of vocational agriculture with high grades and have invested 325000, they may become Iowa Farmers. The American Farmer, however, is the highest rank to which a Future Farmer may climb. The motto of the Future Farmers ot' America is Learning to do, doing to learn, earning to live, living to serve. Although the club greatly felt the absence of Mr. Wesley Seymour when he left in the middle of the year, he was abley replaced by Mr. VVilliam M. Wichelmann. f givls cj4t-klehc ssocwshon The G. A.

Cl 77 ' T 1 econb Team 4 ooflwsll Second team Coach Austin Shearer, soon whipped the Cubs into good shape and found them to be a very aggressive team. The backfield was very light and Coach Shearer found that line bucks and end runs did not gain thoe precious yards to the goal for them, so they resorted to the next best thing which was an aerial attack. Bob Barrett, playing at half back, was found to be most invaluable as the ball slinger for the Cubs. With Barrett passing and the lanky ends Verner and DeWall at the receiving end, they found victory smiling upon them most of the time. However, Emmetsburg, a much heavier team, got the breaks and defeated the local eleven twice. Milford proved to be an easy foil and fell victim to the Cubs' baff- fling aerial attacks along with Spirit Lake and Estherville. Bob Asher piloted the team while Dick Metier and Knox Campbell did most of the ball carying. In the line, Myron Scfhwarck, Ted Carpenter, Wayne Tatman, along with Bob Verner and Don DeWall stood out. They all may be commended for playing the kind of football their record shows, and will undoubtedly see action on the Senior Tiger squad. As they had no weight to depend upon, they were forced to resort to air paths for victory. Before the end of the season, they became so proficient at the act that they soon became the most feared second team in the Conference. They will undoubtedly give the first team a lot of valuable aid when it comes to making it toward the goal through the air next year. Mr. Shearer can well be proud of the product he turned out this season. His teaching of the game will show up to good advantage when the Tigers' first squad begins practice next fall. Spencer High can truthfully look forward to a successful season next year when the boys from this squad are added to the varsity team. Coach Austin Shearer, displays much power in his coaching ability. Teaching the fundamentals of the game to the underclassmen falls on his shoulders and he does it very capably. His teams stand out both in their ability to play a game and in displaying .a fine brand of sports- mnship which is characteristic of him. 1467 V25 944051 Obf' A Coach Harold Booth whose Job lt IS to make a team out of the freshmen found that he had a blg task and a ht tle team About twenty boys reported for the freshman team and all seemed to be ln the class wlth the m1dg6tS Th frosh found themselves outweighed by twenty pounds 1n ev ery contest and found lt very d1ff1cult to be vlctorlous ovel a heavler opponent Thelr bltterest r1val the Junlor hlgh were even a b1t too much for them and defeated them m two dlfferent games The freshmen played a short schedule of games Wlth surround1ng freshman teams and though they were handwapped they scored on thelr heav1er opponents many tlmes who played quarterbck and represented most of the brams though not much brawn Howard Gannon full back on the team d1d most of the ball carrylng along Wlth B111 Fa1 who all look hke good Tlger materlal 1n years o come D1c c Doudna ably fllled the other half back pos1t1on The l1ne though very hght may be commended fo stoppmg many of lts foes and w1ll someday represent a very good varslty team U1 147 .75 9 35 L ll In th freshman backfield we have, Eugene Dickinson, F ' ,t ' l l l Captain Summers ....

He was known for his fast breaks and dead eye accur- acy at the basket. Bob Verner- Dunce, a tricky ball hand- ler and an excellent shot at the basket. Dunce will be back in the forward spot again next year cheering the team with his devil-may- care attitude. Eugene Richards- Gene, a small boy but a very good ball handler as well as an ex- cellent basket shooter. Eugene will also be one to refill his guard spot again next year. Morry Preston- Mut, a midget with plenty of speed and fighting courage, will again serve as the team's dynamite in the year to come. Don Sondergaard- Jens, a center and the tallest man on the squad. He was valuable for his handling and recovering abilities. Jens will join the rest in the crusade back to the hardwood next fall. Wallly Bjornstad- Chub, his Weight held down his speed but this was more than out balanced by is ball handling abilities at forward position. He too will be back next year. Don Dewall-- Rusty, a tall boy playing at center position with all the points of a top notch ball handler. Gene Fox- Gene, too small to do a great deal, was one of the fastest men on the squad. Gene will graduate this year and will be missed a great deal. i ivsf ' cam gaslcet-Lal' The Tiger powerhouse rolled up an impressive record this season of which we all may be proud. Coach Irvin Nelson built the team around Swede Summers, the only veteran regular. Having only one regular to start with the team naturally got off to a slow start. After two or three games, the boys settled down to winning the greater share of the games played. Had it not been for the two conference losses at the beginning of the season to Emmetsburg, and to Sibley, tlf.e conference champions, Spencer would have won the Lakes Conference title this year. As it turned out, we captured second in the race. The boys on the team after the first two losses worked very efficiently as the records show. Much of this improvement is due to the fine showing against Em- metsburg at the first of the season. The team lost by one point but the opponent was one of the toughest teams in the Conference. After Spencer lost to the experienced Sibley Generals in our first conference game, the boys turned their back on a return en- gagement as they did also to Emmetsburg. With graduation this year no regulars will leave. Undoubtedly Spencer will have an advantage next season as these boys have worked together a season a.ready. Much credit can be given to the coaches who have spent long hours with the team, rounding it in- to championship material. Their invaluable aid has made the team what it is today. Graduation will, however, mean the loss of Gene Fox, speedy little utility man who fit very well into all positions, also Lawrence McEntee and Dick Stebbins, rangy boys who saw action last season. Again, however, Spencer will retain its big six. These include: Webster Summers, Maurice Preston. Bob Verner, Don Sondergard, Gene Richards, and Don DeWall. Webster Summers and Maurice will graduate at the mid-semester term and their loss will undoubtedly be greatly felt. All of these boys helped Spencer go farther in competition than for several years. The Tigers cap- tured the Sectional Tournment from Milford, earn-- ing the right to go into the district. There they were defeated by Sibley, who was in turn defeated by Sac City. With nearly all of the boys returning next year the prospects look the brightest in years. These boys have gone far this year and certainly will continue strong next season. DeWall over the pole .

Team lgaslceftwsll The second team sharpshooters under the able direction of Assist- ant Coach Austin Shearer displayed throughout the season a brand of ball that shows promise of powerful Tiger teams for several years to come. These boys, the leftovers from Coach Nelson's varsity squad. showed that next year they would be right in there battling for a berth on the senior tiger squad. Lacking in height, these midgets depended nearly always on fast ball handling and smooth, consistent floor play. This was a dominating feature throughout the season, and in more than half of the games this factor spelled the margin between victory and defeat. Another factor which should be treated as a bright spot is the prow- ficiency which all of the boys seemed to possess. This is particularly outstanding because they were so evenly matched. Coach Shearer sub- stituted freely throughout the season, and had no fear that if he took any one man out, that the opposition would pile up a big score. In this record it is impossible to say who were the outstand- ing players, but these boys will be likely to see action next year on the first team, Gus Freeburg, Virgil Jones, Jack Adair, Knox Campbell, Ralph Runkle, Bruce Billings, Darrel Werts, Jiggs Prather, Bob Erickson, Bob Anderson, and Ed Tuttle. Coach Shearer can well be proud of the product he has turned out this season and can feel sure that these boys have a much greater amount of basketball knowledge through his efforts. 09441915 K4 5 1 ies man as cel' A Harold J Booth freshman basketball mentor wa again given the tough 1ob of rounding into shape the fresh man basketball pro pects 1938 did not bring any giants which are hoped for each year around to the frosh prac tices Being very short Mr Booth pounded into them the essential fundamentals needed to be able to play the game intelligently This was worked on the greater part of the season bunch of Junior high lads under Mr Walter Bloom In thc first two games in which the two teams met the freshmen were narrowly beaten by their younger foes Thev some what avenged this situation later when on a third meetin they emerged victorious These boys stood out during the season in all round play Nook Redmond Dick Doudna B111 Parks Bob Mack ey and Jiggs Sondergaard Others who vxill no doubt see a lot of service next year include Eugene Dickinson B111 Bov. ers Roger DeKoster Shorty O Hara Kay Hugunin Kenn England Dick Metier Alvin Longemen Jim Bullock Bill Boxwell Howard Gannon Byron Boxwell Donovan W11 cox Archie Erickson B111 Fais and Ted Cate The e boys certainly will show up next year due to the knowledge of fundamentals and a summers growth They should look good in the second team next yeai 151 C' l -.J -16 ,, Y T - 2 lil . yy I , . . , ' 5 S . . . . 1, , - . l Y , . l 1 ' 1 They were given their chance against a very classy 7 5 .

' . . . ff D1' 150014 HSBC 561 H fx-ilce 1-be ganbp To the stirring steps of On the Fold, on the Floor, Spencer High's band marched through the school year in a very colorful and triumphant way. To begin with, the band cheered on our football heroes at most of the home games, and also added a brilliant touch to the field as they paraded up and down in their purple and gold uniforms. Concert after concert was performed by the musicians incorpo- rated in this group, and each performance formed a stirring 'tribute to the abilities of each member of the band and, even more so, to the unbounded abilities of the director, Mr. Harold Reckseen. The coming state music contest served as the goal for this group. and its leader throughout the entire year. In order to attend any of these contests it was necessary that money be raised for transportation, eating and sleeping accommoda- tions. With this problem confronting them, the organization decided to sponsor the Ames College Band, one of the finest college bands in the country, thereby raising the necessary money by selling tickets tc a concert to be given by the band. The Spencer band was assisted by the chorus in this venture, and through their combined efforts, the needed money was obtained. With the money on hand, the contest finally hove in sight. As a very concrete reward for their diligence in practicing and unending work the band received a first division in the initial contest they en- tered, this contest being called the Sub-District and being held at Milford. The first division entitled the group to competition in thc state wide contest at Carroll, Iowa, during the first part of May. When the time for the long awaited state series rolled around the band was in the best of shape and also the best of spirits. Among top competi- tion the Spencer High Band received an excellent rating. In closing the current year, the band showed its loyalty to the Class of '39, and very especially to those in the '39 class that were members of the band, in their final concert, which was played during the graduation ceremonies. fgoloisfs Spencer High was most ably represented at the various music fes- tivals this spring by eleven soloists. Every entrant, because of much practice and hard work, did a creditable job and should be congratu- lated for the honors won. The first round opened in Milford at the sub-district contest. Those making their first appearance were Coyla Chaney, contralto, receiv- ing a first division ratingg Gail Jones, bass, also winning first, Bob Cum- mings, saxaphone, firstg Betty Evans, clarinet, first, Joe Carroll, trombone, first, and Darrell Werts, baritone, receiving a second rating. Soloists making their second or third appearance included Wayne Winslow, cornetg Lawrence Fatheree, tuba, Raejean Gould, soprano, Jim Doudna, drum, and Gwen Peterson, flute. All of these entries received first at Milford. Seven of these soloists came through the district contest at Shel- don with first ivisions. These were Lawrence Fatheree, Jim Doudna, Wayne Winslow, Coyla Chaney, Raejean Gould, Bob Cummings and Gail Jones. However, the state festival at Carroll proved to be very difficult, and the only entry that was able to go on to the national con- test at Minneapolis was Jim Doudna. Besides working for the various contests, these soloists were kept busy throughout the year appearing in assembly programs, women's club meetings and various church organizations. It was indeed an honor to Spencer to have so many entries go as far as the state contest, and although many of these soloists will grad- uate, the rest still have more time to go on further, and in the next four years it is expected that Spencer may be able to win more honors in solo entries in the contests than in past years because of the valuable experience many of the underclassmen have received this Past year. 583 Mal Much emphasis was placed upon the larger vocal groups this year. The four main ones organized in the fall of the year were the Mixed Chorus, Girls' Glee Club, Girls' Small Vocal Group and the Boys' Glee Club. Two of these, the Mixed Chorus and Girls' Glee Club were entered in contest. Both received first division ratings at sub-district and district and then received seconds at sttate. The Boys' Glee Club and Girls' Small Vocal Group were lost in the rush to find time for rehearsing the chorus for contest. Nevertheless, they were the source of many an entertaining program througout the first semester. Both the girls of the Mixed Chorus and the Girls, Glee Club assisted the Girl Reserves in giving their an- nual Christmas cantata at the high school auditorium a few Sundays before Christmas. This cantata featured several duets and small group numbers in addition to the full chorus. The cantata was most ably directed by Miss Blanche Williams, vocal instructor. The acapella chorus received many tributes for its renditions of sacred music. Besides singing at the var- ious contests it appeared before a Sunday School con- vention and numerous assembly programs. Dick Codei served as president of this group. The Hnal performances of these groups were given for the graduating class at Baccalaureate and Com- mencement as the groups were composed of many sen- iors. Their presence will undoubtedly be missed but it is hoped that the vocal department will be equally ll not more successful next year. ,I ff i usic Hafly CTJEAYVV1 X iiii Spencer High was very proud of her Vocal groups this year. Various members of these groups were in demand for numerous pro- grams throughout the school year. The students themselves enjoyed hearing them in different assembly programs. Before going to a contest, these groups were heard at the Clay County Festival and received favorable criticism from the Sioux City music supervisor. All vocal entries went as far as the state contest at Carroll. Thes: group.: included the Mixed Chorus, Girls' Glee Club, Mixed Quartet, Girls' Sextette, and several soloists. Much of the credit for success should be given to Miss Blanche VVilliams, vocal instructor, for her supervision of these groups. Another group that was in great demand the first part of the year was te Boys' Small Vocal Group. They also broke up when the Mixed Chorus needed more time for contest. This group included Rupert Kirkpatrick, Larry Enderson, Dean Walters, Wayne Winslow, Law- rence Fatheree, Jim Bjornstad, Warren Pennington and Gail Jones. NVith all of the experience gained this year through various per-i formances, these groups should be able to do bigger and better things next year. 605 rx , 1 ff VKJKV1 ' 094 Mid Swing and sway with K. K. K. could have been the motto of Spencer High during 1938 and '39 for Knute provided another gala year of dances. Highlights of the Kings were Wayne Winslow with his trumpet and Jim Doudna's slightly modified version of Gene Kruppa on the traps. Other trumpeters were Dale Cole, Dick Doudna and Jerry Campbell. The sweet saxes were played by Betty Evans, Naomi Namur, Bob Cummings and Helen Freeman. Dean VVal- ters and Lawrence Fatheree on their tubas provided the bass clef with the aid ot' the trombones, Joe Carroll and Newell Redmodd. Accompaniment was offered by Gwen Peterson on the piano, Grace Redmond, banjo, and Arlene Noll, accor- dian. Trio vocalizing and solos were added by Joyce Mick- elson, Dorothy Enderson and Kathryn Donnelly. All of the eight dances were held at the Eagle Hall under soft lights, while the orchestra played many of the latest hit tunes, much to the joy of the 'fiitterbugsf' Each dance was accompanied by some specialty, either a floor show or similar entertainment. Invited to attend the dances was every high school student, all ofthe faculty 1-nd special chaperons, who were the parents of students. GAQI .x vom 0 4958 A swirl of gay, bouffant formal frocks, the fragrance of a hundred corsages, the strains of a well-known orches- tra against the tropical loveliness of an Hawaiian setting, piovided a truly beautiful scene for the Junior-Senior Prom of 1938. Spencer's country club was decorated with sil- houettes of the graceful palm trees, a huge tropical moon beamed from behind the orchestra, and low hanging south- ern moss lent an air of mystery. Exotic South Sea Island girls slipped to and fro serv- ing the guests. As every guest entered one of the Leilani's draped a festive lei around his neck. As each lei was num- bered, later in the evening people matched numbers to have new partners. Dance programs were of brown wood paper in the semblance of a guitar. Each dance had its own particular name such as Waikaki VValk, Surfboard Swing, etc. As a specialty of the evening Larry Enderson sang Moon of Manakouran to Barbara Wellmerling garbed in native dress. At any time during the Prom guests could be 1'efresh- ed with bottles of Royal Crown Cola served ice cold, by hula girls. Even the refreshments had an Hawaiian air with de- lightful names such as Monkeys Delight. Some of the tropical fish, a lei or two, and certainly a dance program were lovely souvenirs of that evening with its unforgetable memories. C61 If A x X ' v 1 A Y ' Y J U.

Q vesbwaan Class dylan s The Freshman Class presented two plays on the evening of Feb- ruary 24. They were entitled, Beep-beep! Clang-Clangl Boop-oop- a-doop! and Not Quite Such a Goose. Tlie first pfay represented a meeting of the Lone Wolves Club. Jerry, the president, tries to conduct a business meeting in an orderly fashion but along Wih girls and hold-up.: it was a very interrupted meeting. Everything as usual, turned out all right. The second play was a comedy. Albert, seventeen years old, scorns his older sister's interest in her sweetheart. When, however, sister's girl-friend comes, Albert finds-well just different, that's all. CAST- Beep-beep! Clang-Clang! Boop-oop-a-doop ! President of the Lone Wolves Club . .

The membership of the group was filled to its quota of 35 mem- bers, with the new membership consisting this particular year of many freshmen. With Coyla Chaney as program chairman, the club tried to include a varied type of work. Throughout the entire club year, an attempt was made to furnish programs which would appeal and serve as an aid to all in developing dramatic ability and interest. Some of the meetings were conducted as entertainment with every member enacting his part in either a planned or impromptu style. Oth- er Tuesday evenings found the group discussing such subjects as cor- rect stage make-up, poise and ease on the stage, or recent movies and superior acting. Two meetings which proved especially interesting and worthwhile were the ones in which Mrs. O. M. Chaney, an active town Drama Club member, reported on the development of theatre music and the one in which members of Thorrel Fest's extemporaneous group talked before the club. Because of the club's desire to develop the speech department ot' the school, a full-length mirror, to be placed in the dressing room oft' the stage, was presented to the high school by Inez Cornwall. The other major event of the club's activities was the sponsoring of the Spencer Drama Club's superior rated play Rocking Chairs, as a High School Assembly, with Mrs. Zola Anderson, Miss Dora Jensen, and Mrs. Leta Dinges as the popular actresses. 1637 eabes s goof: ,few ag .

The beautiful auditorium was the result of a discussion concernin f the needs of the Spencer schools. Tow nspeop e eated around a table befind a door lettered Board of Education dc-- cidcd that it w as nece tary to build a new grade school. There are few factois that so drastically affect the citizens of this community as the condition of the institutions that their children daily attend. i It is the duty of these seven people to see that fire escapes are accessible, fire drills managed with rapidity, school finances budgeted carefully, not to mention sanitary facilities and the employment ot new instructots. Whenever new problems arise concerning courses and textbook: it is this group of persons who select the most beneficial ones. When grade school children are attending classes in their new building on East Eighth street and when large audiences watch plays from comfortable auditorium seats, they should realize that their thanks go to Mr. Dan Cole, presidentg Mr. John Cory, Mr. Dale Norton, Mr. H. J. Williams, Mrs. Helen Mann, Mr. Floyd Campbell and Miss Lulu Flint.

This organization, through committees, 'takes over the various duties of the school. The weekly meetings were pre- sided over this year by Jim Bjornstad, student body president. Busi- ness meetings consisted mainly of reports given by the committeef, which were: Program, publicity, locker, halls, lights, trophy case. library and dance. The publicity committee. under the supervision of Miss Warner. again deserves credit for doing its usual outstanding work. This com- mittee met each morning at 8:00 to prepare its material for the bulle- tin boards. Another interesting feature, a daily column, was intro- duced to the students this year via the bulletin board. Miss Marcella Colburn was the advisor for the library committee, which has functioned well this year. Never before has this committee been as successful in managing the school library which was due to a new system. Representatives were sent to the Annual Student Conference which was held in Cherokee, and returned to help organize a voca- tional conference for the Spencer students. This had previously been successful in other Lakes Conference schools and proved a worthwhile project wich may become an annual conference in the Spencer curri- culum. The organization concluded its year's activities with its annual party.
