' JUNIORS The climactic year of a high school course is the eventful Iunior year that everyone looks forward to. The first thought of a Iunior is Prom. This year the Iunior Class had good luck in raising their money early through the lunch counter and sales during football and basketball. In November they presented a very well received comedy, Ianuary Thaw. The Iuniors were outstanding in music this year. Many of them were soloists and members of ensembles. Others were distinguished in basketball, track, debate, Tiger Tempos, H1-Y, Y-teens, Spencer- ian, Camera Club and other organizations. The class of '50 should be able to lead well next year. --.-13-- TOP GROUP Top Row: Ronald Barnes, Roger Falline, Keith Erickson, Lloyd Eissner, Keith Emrich, Don De Koster, Laverne Bleeker, Glen Chenhall, Tom Anderson.

Of course there was that traditional dread of tenth grade autobiographies, but the students wrote some ex- cellent and clever ones. The Sophomores broke the tradition in which underclassmen have presented two one-act plays and presented an enjoyable three act comedy, A Case of Springtime. As proof of their enthusiasm, the Sophomores won the March-of-Dimes yard- stick race in school and earned the privilege of electing the Valentine Queen of Spencer High from their class. ..15..

FRESHMEN While the usual greenhorn jokes bothered the Freshmen at the beginning of the year. this class seemed unusually advanced. Ninth graders were able to fit into the schedule and new routine of high school remarkably well: and more than one upper classman found him- self saying, Oh, are you a freshman? Though there is not a great deal for the Freshman Class to do in school activities, since a freshman is kept quite busy getting used to high school and the homework of those first year subjects. Nonetheless, large numbers of the class have made it outstanding in some activities, particlarly choir, band. Tiger Tempos, Y-teens, and Hi-Y. Two delightful comedies of one-act each were presented by this students. It is easy to say this class has a fine start in High School. ..17.... f Q N-WN 41 4 J Ly x L , .A ,X Q f 'Q is 1 if 225 ,.

This year they have started the con- struction of a badly needed athletic field, hired a teacher for re- medial reading and speech throughout the system, planned curriculum revision, and installed fluorescent lighting in several of the buildings including the Lunch Room of the High School. MR. SALISBURY Everyone in Spencer High School will agree that Mr. Salisbury is by far one of the very best friends and teachers that he or she has ever had. The seniors feel that Mr. Salisbury especially be- longs to them since he came to Spen- cer High the same year that they did. alll MR. IOHNSON Mr. Iohnson has proved himself to be a very popular administrator. The stu- dents of the Spencer schools are grate- ful to him for his interest in increasing their educational opportunities. - --- Robert Dean Gladys Grabe Claire Powell Daniel Podoll William Eells Lewis Iones Derwin Myhr Cora Sorensen Floy Akin Kenneth Griffin Austin Shearer L. Floyd Tate THE FACULTY Let's take a tour through our school. We've been here nine months, and it is rather nice to remember just what is going on in each room in the building. On the first floor We find Supt. Iohnson's office where we can get books and supplies from Miss Flint. On the same floor are the two homemaking rooms in which Miss Sorensen and Miss Grabe teach. Mr. Shearer has his wood and metal shops on this floor also. In the auditorium Mr. Scott and Mr. Dean hold their choir and band practices. On the second floor we go past Miss Bryan's room. During school she teaches Latin, Spanish, Senior English, and after school advises the Tiger Tempos staff. In Miss Knudsen's room we see circles on the blackboard. She teaches Algebra and General Math, and is the adviser for the Science Club. Miss Hudson is the sophomore English instructor and also coached their play this year. Mr. Podoll teaches Govern- ment, Sociology, Commercial Law, and American History. He has helped the Sen- iors by advising them in various ways. We stop off at the office. Mr. Salisbury. our principal, and Mrs. Speer are there. Mr. Sal- isbury also has a Senior English Class. In the new portion of the building Miss Mar- teney is teaching American History and Geography. She is also an adviser for the annual. Miss Powell, who teaches World History and Iunior English, is the sponsor for the Y-teens. In the speech room Mr. Fon- kert teaches Iunior English and Speech. He is also the director of the forensic and dra- matic activities. On the third floor we hear 122- 1 s Mary Hudson Helen Knudsen Adeline Langrock Iohn Fonkert Arnold Beckman Winnifred Marteney typewriters and students reciting their short- hand lessons in unison to Miss Steuck, their instructor. She is also an adviser for the annual. Mr. Rice, our Ass't. Principal explains all the mysteries of the stuffed animals and growing plants in the biology room. Miss Akin has been teaching the Freshmen the fundamentals of English and was the di- rector of their class plays. Mr. Griffin, who is a new teacher this year, is the next down the hall. In the Commercial rooms he teaches Salesmanship and Bookkeeping. In the Gen- eral Science room We find three different teachers during the day. They are Miss Sor- ensen, Mr. Myhr, and Mr. Bice. Mr. Rice also presides over the Camera Club in this room. Mr. Myhr's rooms contain test tubes, ma- chines and other scientific equipment. He teaches Chemistry, Physics and Driving. Mr. Appleby teaches Geometry, Triginometry, and Advanced Algebra to the mathemati- cally minded students. Next We shall go to George Appleby Lucille Bryan LuVella Steuck Glenn Scott L. A. Rice Mrs. Audrey Speer the basement and into the gym. There Miss Langrock and Mr. Tate hold their classes. Mr. Shearer, Mr. Griffin, and Mr. Appleby also are coaches. Mr. Beckman discusses farm problems with his EEA. boys in the Agriculture rooms. We have two teachers in the Iunior High Building. They are Mr. Iones, who teaches the Freshman Industrial Arts classes, and Mr. Eells, another new teacher who gives art lessons. We have now com- pleted a tour of our school house and all the various rooms. Each room seems to hold something new each day and quite a bit of knowlege is gained in this school with the help of our efficient teachers. Each year a new course is added or an old one improved. We have a radio broadcast from our school every Tuesday and various departments have demonstrated their progress over the air. With the guidance of all these teachers our school is one of the very best. FEW - 'f5' 'E . 50' 1 ' 1 if F 1, WA Ni ,Ki . as 1 Q is 'H , ' ' w W :AAQTWTM . ff 'A ' 3332 'F ' fig..

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council is composed of the Student Body President, each class president, and representatives from the four classes, six from the seniors, four from the juniors, three from the sophomores, and two from the freshmen. Offi- cers of the Student Council this year were Richard Mann, president, Francis Tuttle, vice president, Betty Iverson, secretary-treasurer. The Student Council takes care of the assemblies and the various important dances during the year. They also sponsor the annual Clay County Career Day. This year the Coun- cil proposed an amendment to their constitution in which members for the next year should be chosen in May instead of September with the exception of the new freshmen. This would make it possible for the council to begin their work the first Week of the new year. -26- Standing: lean Barber, Amelia Summers, Carole Anderson.

Y-TEENS The Y-Teens started out their school year with the annual big and little sister picnic held in the homemctking room and gym. Efforts to bring together all the girls in Spencer High resulted in pairing juniors and sophomores together, and seniors and freshmen as big and little sisters. In October the annual Mother-Daughter Tea was held at the Methodist Church, preceded by a beautiful candlelight installation. ..2g..

Y-TEENS At the beginning of the second semester small groups were organized within the large one, and during each club period they met individually to work on projects. Arts and crafts, knitting, folk dancing, pen pals, and dramatics were the activities of these various groups. The climax of the year was the big Northwest District Conference held in Spencer in which the Y-Teens joined with the Hi-Y in being hosts to a day's youth program for delegates from Northwest Iowa, Minnesota, and South Dakota. 129.-.

HI-Y COUNCIL The Hi-Y Council plans the program for the year, and it supervises the Hi-Y activities. At the beginning of the year several of the boys attended the officers training conference in Sioux City. There was also a Co-ed Con- ference in Spencer this spring. The Hi-Y obtained money for new furniture through the combined efforts of a Christmas card sale and a spring Hi-Y dance. The speakers that the council asked to come to their meetings talked on topics of particular interest to these members. Dr. Marsh talked to the Hi-Y and Y-teens on his tour of Europe, mostly England. Mayor Charles Curtis told the boys about the city government. Carroll Lewis, Y.M.C.A. secretary, made frequent visits to these meetings and reported about the Y. M. C. A.'s work. The officers of the council are Francis Tuttle, president: Vincent Barton, vice- president: Lee Iames, secretary-treasurer: and Ray Anderson, house com- mittee. Mr. Salisbury and Mr. Rice are the sponsors of the Hi-Y. ...32, Back Row: Bob Ellis, Roger Speedling, Rich Mann, Don Gray, Don Rose.

SPENCERIAN STAFF Let's look behind the scenes in an annual pro- ducton. The first step is to organize the staff and to give assignments. It was the job of the student pho- tographers to snap pictures which they did all year. The editor was busy setting up the lay out and figur- ing the proportionate sizes of the pictures and cuts. The business managers and their staff were kept busy raising money for the production. They did this in various ways: by selling ads in the yearbook, on the bulletin boards in the gym, and by the sale of scampering about annuals. Staff members were finishing their write ups on the various sections for which they were responsible. Before long the time came when the proofs were back from, theengravers, meaning it was time to begin work on the dummy. Now the long hours began and were spent pasting proofs, typing the write ups, and proof reading. At long last the dummy was sent the to the printers with only the final proofreading left before the yearbook was a finished product.

THE SPENCER The Spencer High School band under the direction of Robert Dean has increased its number of pieces to one hundred and two. The band received superior ratings in the State Contest held in Spencer. The performances given by these musicians in their annual Winter and Spring Band Shows were Very outstanding. Several more uniforms were added to the new stock purchased last year by the Band Boosters. These uniforms were displayed for the first time on our football field last fall. Four beautiful, new flags were carried by the color guards in the spring parade. The band participated in the Clay County Festival here last Ianu- ary. An outstanding invitation was extended to the band to join the parade at Veisha in Ames on May 14.

SPENCER'S The Spencer High School a cappella choir of eighty voices presented several distinguished concerts during the year.

The paper was edited independ- ently instead of the single sheet of high school news in the Daily Reporter. This new paper was smaller in size but con- tained twelve pages of news and pictures. It seemed more exclusively ours, but was, TIGER TEMPOS GOES TO PRESS -33- perhaps, a little more work. The paper devoted one page to each of the import- ant activities-sports, music, clubs, and just around-the-school news. There were two pages of photographs, and the Iunior High also had their own staff who edited two pages for this new Tiger Tempos. The Tasty Tales page was added by popular demand. It included the bits of gossip around school. Miss Bryan, the ad- viser, and Charlotte Belshe, the editor, spent many hours after school getting the write-ups all rounded up and ready for the press.

Fourteen of the varsity members were seniors. lack North in his column in the Des Moines Register placed Buzz Tuttle on his fifth and Rich Mann on his third all- state teams. Bob Ellis received honorable mention. In the Lakes Conference teams Willis Steffen, tackle. Buzz Tuttle, end, Rich Mann, back, and Bob Ellis. guard, received positions. Honorable mention was given to Iim Dickeson, center, and Karl Knowles, back. Coach Tate paid this tribute to the team, The entire squad was the best squad, by far, that I have ever coached, and I have been coaching since 1936. These boys gave me very few headaches.

SPENCER 23-ESTHERVILLE O Another victory for the Tatemen after their previous victory over LeMars was the de- feat of the Midgets. Mann and Knowles in the backfield plus fine performances by Tuttle, Thompson, Dickeson, and Schumann kept the enemy guessing. l SPENCER 33-SIBLEY 0 Playing their first home game of the sea- son, Spencer displayed a perfectly balanced team as they went up and down the field almost at will.

Don Rose played an outstanding game. SPENCER 20-ALGONA 7 This was another non-conference game. The Tiger blocking was at its peak during this contest. The Tiger line continually had its heavier opponents back on their heels. Along with this and the terrific running of Karl Knowles and Eldon Crowe, there was no doubt as to which was the better team. SPENCER 20-SPIRIT LAKE 0 This was the traditional Armistice Day game between these two teams. With our victory over Spirit Lake, the Tigers won the Lakes Conference.

They had a strong line offense and a good line on defense. Don Conlon, Lowell Hitch- cock, Bob Iones, and Mervin Roggow were starters in the back field in most of the games, and Rich McVey, Orlyn Steffen, Vernon Blaue, Bob Carpen- ter, Max Van Buren, Bill Doyle, Melvin Williams, Don DeKoster, and Buzz Curry were on the line.

SPENCER VS. CHEROKEE 44-25 The Tigers went all out for this one. With Rose sidelined because of an ankle injury, Ennis took over the center spot and played brilliantly, scoring 16 points. The rest of the team played heads-up ball and the Braves never came close. SPENCER VS. SHELDON 47-45 This game was a thiller all the way, with the fans greatly excited. Spencer led by one point at halftime. Going into the fourth quarter Spen- cer was ahead one basket with one minute to go. They stalled out the remainder of the game. SPENCER VS. SHELDON 42-44 This was a hard game for the Tig- ers to lose because it helped them drop the the conference. This game was much like the first Sheldon game with the gym packed to capacity. SPENCER VS. ESTHERVILLE 30-37 Spencer led for three quarters, and then they seemed to fall apart. This game dropped Spencer to third place in conference. SPENCER VS.

SPIRIT LAKE 36-33 The boys from Spirit Yake kept an uncomfortable distance behind most of the game, but later advanced to within 3 points. SPENCER VS. SIBLEY 47-33 In this game many subs partici- pated. None of the regular players fouled out, and Spencer controlled most of the rebounds. SPENCER VS. EMMETSBURG 47-30 This game was of particular inter- est to Coach Tate because Spencer drew the E-Hawks again in the Iowa High School Boys' Tourney. SPENCER VS. CHEROKEE 47-37 Vogt was high point man followed by Tuttle. With the help of Don Rose. Bob Ennis, the Tigers were able to have things their own way. SPENCER WINS SECTIONAL 53-28 The Tigers were not to be denied the ticket to the district play offs. They handled the E-Hawks with ease. ALBERT CITY DEFEATS SPENCER 51-37 The Tigers were just a little on edge with their meeting with Albert City, the favored team, in the district contest. Albert City gained an early lead in scoring, and although the Tigers kept up with them in scoring they were unable to overcome that early lead.

Betty Iverson, Pat Sprong, Grace Riepma, and Wayne Zahrt were elected at this time. Marge Metier and Iean Barber tied for the fifth cheerleader's position. These two traded off at every game until basket- ball season when Wayne played with the team. The cheerleaders, with Miss Sorensen as faculty adviser, planned a pep assembly before each game. They led two pep rallies on rnain street, and the big bonfire and snake dance before Homecoming. They also sold balloons during foot- ball season to help pay for the uniforms. Betty Iverson was the leader of the squad as she had been a cheerleader the year before. Carol Van Buren was the substitute. These six people led us in cheers for our victorious teams. ...61.. On December 1, 1948, the people of Spencer were treated to a new type of entertainment. At this time the Girls' Athletic Association under the direction of Miss Adeline Langrock presented a demonstration which was divided into five parts-calisthenics, folk dancing, rope jumping, stunts, and creative dancing. All the girls were outstanding in their parts. The money from this presentation was used to buy new equipment for the girls' physical education depart- ment. The members of G.A.A. participate in many sports such as archery, tennis, badminton, ping pong. tumbling and volleyball. Basketball is by far the most popular sport. For this reason the G.A.A. spon- sors intramural basketball tournaments each year. Each class has two teams participating in the tour- ney. This year the two Senior teams, captained by Shirley Olhausen and Rosemary Edge, battled it out for first place. Olhausen's team won by a one point margin. gg y G. A. A.

MR. AND MRS. NORTH The Senior Class of 1948 presented the play, Mr. and Mrs. North, on April 23, 1948. The cast included Mr. North, Ierry Twetten: Bruno, the janitor, Iohn Tyrrell: Mrs. North, Sue Tyson: Clair Brent, Gretchen Mor- gan: Louis Berex, Francis Tyrrell: lane Wil- son, Pat Ackland: Ben Wilson, Bud Mc- Tigue: Clinton Edwards, Bob Olhausen: Cooper, a policeman, Leo Steffen: Mrs. Brooks, Sally Hickey: Mr. Brooks, Glen Carl- strom: Lt.

The play was under the capable direction of Iohn Fonkert. It took place in the North's apartment on Greenwich Place, New York City. Mr. and Mrs. North are frequently sur- prised when corpses fall from their closets. The play proved to be cr Very interesting mystery and the portrayals were very good.

JANUARY THAW Even though a small blizzard had been raging the day of November 19, 1948, a large audience turned out to see the Iunior Class Play, Ianuary Thaw, that evening. There were thirteen characters in this presentation and they were as follows: Freida, Sally Sackett: Herbert Gage, Ronald Roskens: Sarah Gage, Patsy McDowell: Paulla Gage, Colleen Wood: Marge Gage, Myra Rowley: Barbara Gage, Audrey Keohnk: George Husted, Tom Prechel: Ionathan Rockwood, Wayne Zahrt: Mathilda Rockwood. Nancy Mann: Mr. Loomis, Iim Shaw, Uncle Walter, Merrill Arnold: Matt Rockwood, Dean Iames: Carson, Roger Speedling. The Gage family went to the country to seek peace and seclusion. Little did they realize that the house they had bought was legally owned by Jonathan and Mathilda Rockwood, an old-fashioned couple. An en- lopement and a blizzard add to the troubles. The Gages are forced to eat Wheaties and molasses with olives. This play was a de- lightful comedy and its humor was enjoyed by all. Family Discussion Talking about Chinchillas Bob and Ioan The P.T.A. ladies look on lust before school. A CASE OF SPRINGTIME On April 1, 1949, the Sophomore Class presented a three act play entitled, A Case of Springtime. The humorous plot centered around Bob, the high school boy, whose best intentions all backfired. Bob's magic tricks which were meant to impress his best girl, Ioan, all brought in more complications. Little brother Dickie's dynamic tension aided in the trouble along with the booby traps he set which by mistake snared the P.T.A. ladies. Dickie's school- mate, Gwen, showed a profound admiration for him by keeping him supplied with spearmint leaves, by stopping for him on the way to school and carrying his books. Bob used the formal dress coat of Ioan's father, the high school principal: and it was dyed with the curtains .... a bright yellow. Somehow everything ended happily when Bob's little rabbits proved to be chinchillas, not stolen property from the zoo: and Bob became sort of engaged to Ioan. The cast included Bob Parker, Lee Iames: Mr. Parker, Lloyd Eissner: Mrs. Parker, Mary Wilson: Betty Parker, Marge Metier: Dickie Parker, Don Con- lon: Ioan, Io Chapman: Mr. Abernaker, Don De Kos- ter: Eddie Abernaker, lim Iensen: Louella, Carole Anderson: Gwen Anderson, Barbara Youde: The P.T.A. ladies, Amelia Summers, Leila Springer and Donna Horan: the private detective, Glen Chenhall: and Miss Bright from the zoo, Sue Barber. FRESHMEN PRESENTATION The plays presented by the freshman class on February 16 were two comedies of youth. The cur- tain for Who's Afraid opened in the living room of the Martin home. Mr. and Mrs. Martin CCarl Stef- fen and Maureen Doylel went out of town on an overnight trip. Their daughter, Penny CSally Olsonl, invited two girl friends CMarilyn Miller and Susann Sonnerl to stay all night with her. Penny's brother. Bud CDick Filerl, and his adventuresome side-kick. Dick CPercy VerHoefD, were scheming to frigthen the girls by pretending to be burglars: but girls being girls, Penny, Marge, and Iane learned about it. Of course, when the burglar came through the window, the girls expected it to be one of boys and gave him a jolly welcome, quite a surprise to Dick Parks, the prowler. With the help of the policemen. Bill Doyle and Raymond Anderson, the genuine prowler was brought to justice and all ended well. Antic Spring was a delightful pantomime comedy telling of the picnic of six teen-agers, Ginger, Robert. Blossom, Elbert, Gwendolyn, and Sam, tLynn Ander- son, Tom Mann, Ruth Heald, Don Humphrey, Donna Valdahl, and Bob Barton.l This was very well pre- sented in a novel manner without the use of props. Robert was the artistic type who quoted Shelley throughout the play. Sam and Gwendolyn were busy counter-changing their tokens of affection according to their moods. Elbert, the pest, was being pursued by Blossom, who contrary to everyone else was having more fun. Ginger drove the troupe home amid ain which was a suitable ending to their disap- pointing afternoon. 1 6 e e in er Q5 9. ho lk inf! Whicli prowler?

The banquet, for which the menu was printed in Dutch, was served at Bill's Fair Grounds Cate. Tulips, windmills, and the tiny wooden shoes with each guest's name on them were placed be- fore the plates. The toast program Was built around the letters WINDMILL: and consisted of toasts by Richard Mann, president of the Iunior Class, Arden Nance, president of the Senior Class, L. A. Rice, Gretchen Morgan, Student Body President, Mrs. Paul Sonner and Charles Toland, and songs by a trio, Lorene Vollrner, Opal Henkel, and Rosemary Edge, and a duet by Ted Jennings and D Iarnes. Following the dinner the guests co tinued the evening by dancing at the Spenc Country club. The girls in their tormals a the boys in their best suits danced to t music of the Westmar College orchestra. T Country Club was decorated with tulips front of the orchestra pit and with but churns with transparent sides hanging lanterns from the yellow and blue crepe p ered ceiling. The Sophomore girls checked the coats wore Dutch costumes floor show was given and the entire eve was very successful. -70...

Everyone anxiously awaits this spring dance which is sponsored by the Y-Teens. The theme was cleverly carried out in Dog- patch. Decorations included corn cob pipes. pigs, and cider jugs in the form of souvenirs with the date's names written on them. One wall of the gym was painted with a mural of Lil Abner and the Wolf Gal. As the Daisy Maes and Lil Abners entered the barn they were greeted with strains of familiar square dances coming from the wood shed . S q u a r e dances as well as social dances were part of the even- ing's fun. At the end of this event, the girls treated their fellas to Kickapoo Ioy Iuice and doughnuts. Every- one had a dandy time. ..71- Homecoming Queen and Attendants-Left to Right: Beverly Maurer, Betty Iverson, Mary Ann Olsen, VY Ruth Hedge, Grace Riepma, Sharon Schoening, Ruth Ann Wade. I-IOMECOMING The ritual of the bonfire and snake dance was presented the night before our Home- coming game with Sheldon. The Tigers won 19-12 amid rain and mud. The Homecoming dance was held at the Masonic Temple after the game. The Queen, Ruth Hedge, was pre- sented with her crown, one dozen roses, and an identification bracelet by Buzz Tuttle. Music for the dance was furnished by Ralph Easton. 1 am FESTIVE OCCASIONS The Christmas dance was brimming full' of entertainment. A melodrama was pre- sented in which lean Farrar, a lovely maiden, and Nancy Mann, her mother were danger- ously near being evicted from their home by Iim Shaw, a heartless villian. David Bezoni. the hero, ended the farce dramatically. lim Higgins and Dick Baldwin gave a short and interesting magician's act. The Girls' Sex- tet sang, All I Want for Christmas -Is My Two Front Teeth. Santa Claus iBen Sandersl came in and gave presents to the girls and boys. Everyone enjoyed dancing. The high-light of the Valentine Dance was the crowing of Avalon Monselle as Valen- tine Queen. She was attended by Kay Tyr- rell. Sue Barber, Io Chapman, and Marge Metier. Mr. Salisbury distributed comic Val- entines to the students. There were dances for nearly every holi- day and event, one of which was the Victory Dance following our championship in the Lakes Conference Football season. The Sen- ior girls had a part in the fun at this dance by dressing as football team and playing on the. dance floor adorned in tin pans as helm- ets and long Snugies as uniforms. We all have a memory from every dance of our 1948-49 year in high school. All of us agree that our year has been as full as possible of everything, and it has been loads of fun. -73- Mr. Iohn L. Holmes CAREER DAY 348 On April 7, IQ48, Spencer High School was again host to the annual Clay County Career Day. Surrounding towns sent their seniors to this event in order to aid them in finding a 'vocational occupation for later life. The main speaker for the opening and closing sessions was Iohn L. Holmes, Director of the Testing Bureau and Ass't Director of Personnel, Iowa State College. Other discussion leaders were as follows: Paul Clark, Director of Adm., Morningside College, I. M. Holcomb, Ass't. to the Dean of Agri- culture, Iowa State, Raymond N. Miller, Head Dept. of Business, Morningside: Howard Porter, Vice-Pres., American Institute of Business, Des Moines, Dr. A. M. Walling, Spencer Dentist, Dr. Lyle R. Frink, Spencer Physician and Surgeon, L. O. Stewart, I-lead of Dept. of Civil Engineering, Iowa State, Mary Elva Sather, Ass't to the Dean of Home lic., Iowa State, Dale Byrne, Publisher Spencer Daily Reporter, George Williams, Publisher Spencer Times, Vv'ilson Cornwall, Spencer Attorney, Paul MacCollin, Di- rector of Conservatory of Music, Morningside, Nurses, State University of Iowa, Ray Donels, Personnel Director of Physical Education Iowa State, Mason Dixon, KICD, Ernest Saunders, Head of Dept. of Religion, Morningside, Carpll Lewis, Exec. Sec. of Camp Foster, Y.M.C.A., Arnold Steintje, Ass't Professor of Chemistry, Morningside, Guy Wagner, Director of Curriculum Laboratory, Iowa State Teachers, H. A, Riebe, Professor of Edu.. cation, Iowa State Teachers College. These very capable people gave worthwhile and interesting discussions on law, business, dentistry, nursing, radio, music, science, commercial, and col- lege. These well rounded discussions and Mr. Holmes' address on The Personality of Success, were very educational for all the students present. H.- ., 'w ASSEMBLIES The Student Council sponsored many assemblies this year which were very interesting and also edu- cational. Mr. C. E. Iones returned to Spencer this year to talk on Silent Sounds and Nerve Electricity. His many devices had us listening with one ear and then the other. He also tested the brain of Rich- and Mann our Student Body President. Dick and Betty Welsbacker amused us with their program of Ameri- can Folklore in song and story. Dick's inimitable characterizations were all very clever. Edward L. Ieambey presented a program entitled, These Flags Still Fly. He traced the history of our country through flags which led our country to greatness. On Decem- ber 10, the Cleggetts presented a fine musical pro- gram tor us which included selections from Show Boat, Vagabond King, Porgy 6: Bess, and many others. Mr. Cleggett had been the leading baritone singer for the Bloom Light Opera Company of Hol- lywood. Mrs. Cleggett is a concert pianist. Their cos- tumes added color to their presentation. Mr. Glenn Morris gave an interesting demonstration of radios for air transportation entitled, On the Beam. Tom Prechel was the student aviator. Grant Reynard, an American artist, showed slides of his drawings and sketches which were very deeply typical of actual people on the streets and scenes from cities in the United States. There were other assemblies during the year which included vocalists, dramatists, a lec- turer on Alaska, and one from Wales. Assemblies seem to add a great deal of enjoyment to the school year, and education from experience rather than books is a delightful change. A quiet hockey game .... Mary on a Fair Day ....
