H. W. THOMPSON PRIN. C. C. WEINERTH VERA E. MITCHELL FRANK M. MARTIN EMMA J. HAGEMAN MARY K. CLEVENGER High School Faculty Naturally we are proud of our school; and since a school is just as good as its faculty, we are justly proud of our faculty. We believe it to be true in every sense that every member of our faculty has given himself whole-heartedly and unreservedly to the best interests of the school. No matter how great is the ability of each individual member of the faculty—no school can be a success without strong, capable leadership, and Mr. Thompson’s two years service as superintendent has proven beyond a doubt, his superior ability as a leader of pupils and teachers. The effect of the example he sets for manliness is too great to be even estimated. His influence throughout just nine months of association, enables and enriches the life time of all who come in contact with him. His work is the type that lives and grows. The office of Principal of the High School requires a combination of varied qualities. The Principal must set the standards in management, instruction, and in enthusiasm and effort. He must be popular enough to secure the cooperation of the student body and community in all High School activities, and firm and tactful enough to overcome inevitable obstacles which arise in connection with these undertakings. These qualities our Principal, Mr. Weinerth, possesses in an unusual degree. Because of his untiring and efficient service he has won the respect and admiration of the student body, associates, and the community. A wise man once said, “Trifles make perfection, but perfection is no trifle”. In a’l her work Miss Hageman has striven for perfection; whether it be in a class recitation, a Junior-Senior Banquet, or the Beaver, not the perfection achieved by slavery to detail, but that attained by high purpose and faithful effort. This quality is responsible for the success which has characterized all of Miss Hageman’s work. We have come to regard Miss Mitchell as a ‘sine qua non' factor in the success of our High School. In whatever capacity she is called upon to serve—and she has been called upon frequently and has been found ever willing, she has achieved a high degree of excellence. The Junior Class play, the Junior-Senior banquet, the Faculty play, her popularity at parties, and not the least of all, her excellence in classroom instruction, are eloquent evidence of her ability, and the explanation of our high regard for her. Every day seems to be a day of sunshine for Miss Clevenger. Such perennial pleasantness as she possesses is rare as it is gratifying. Her cheerfulness, her great interest in all our activities, her enthusiasm in work and play, and her ability have brought success to whatever undertaking she has been connected with. Our Commercial department has made splendid progress under the direction of Mr. Martin. His earnestness is inspiring, and his high standards of accomplishment commands our respect and our best efforts. But it is not alone for his achievements in the schoolroom that we appreciate him. He carries his sincerity into every other phase of our High School life; into his part in the general activities, and into his friendliness with associates and pupils. Qrade Teachers We are justly proud of these instructors who have had charge of the primary and intermediate departments of our school. In the matter of instruction and partici pation in the general activities of the school they have contributed largely to the success of this year. They have conducted the work of their respective departments in a manner that has been highly gratifying to the patrons of the school and have merited great praise for the results that they have obtained. Moreover they have entered into various community activities, indicating their interest in those organizations and influences which make for a better community. We wish to express our appreciation to these teachers especially for their enthusiastic interest and support of our High School activities. They have been loyal in their cooperation with our efforts in connection with our High School publications, our plays, our parties, and our athletic contests. We thank them for their valued assistance in presenting the Faculty play for the benefit of this annual. A special word of appreciation we are glad to express to Miss Hehnke, the Principal of our Grammar Department, who for many years has directed the education of our students through the intermediate years of their course. We know that her helpful interest is with us from the time we enter the first grades of the school until we have graduated, and then follows us in whatever course we may pursue after graduation. We appreciate her true friendship. High School Song I. Faithful and true hearted, Let us boast for our “Old High”, We revere her and defend her, And her colors proudly fly. We will stand for her, united, Of her deeds we gladly tell, Her colors streaming Glad faces beaming, So here’s a cheer for her we all love so well. II. Honors she has taken, On the track and with the ball. May she always rank the highest, May her colors never fall; There’s no other that can match her, When her team is on the field. Her boy’s the fleetest, Her girl’s the sweetest, Then here’s a cheer for her, for her who ne’er will yield. CHORUS Joyous and ever loyal, Let us boost our “Old High.” Let every heart sing, Let every voice ring, There’s no time to grieve or sigh. It’s ever onward, our course pursuing, May defeat ne’er our ardor cool. But united, we will boost for her, our Old High School. Freshmen FIRST ROW:—A. Anderson, M. Arney, L.

E. H. S. We have the largest class in high school and the largest amount of brains and pep. Junior class parties are nothing to be sneezed at. More fun and good times are had there than any other place. We also did our share in putting the Maroon and Beaver contests way over the top. We have the distinction of having one of the best plays ever given in St. Edward. We’re going strong this year! We’ll be even stronger next year. Speed Limit—90 per. We break it!

Inspite of some of the “greenish” actions, laughs of the Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors, and the jokes they played on us at our initiation, we survived and had a fine time on our first journey through knowledge. Well do we remember the first picnic held at the Sand Pit and the parties that followed. With Miss Kokjer as our faithful sponsor we began to enjoy life. Officers were: President, Florence Johnson; Vice-President, Alice Fitch; Secretary-Treasurer, James Westlake. The choosing of our class colors, Black and Orange, and hanging our banner on the front wall of assembly made us feel that we had really become a part of S. E. H. S. The class of ’26 is noted for winning contests, each year having a winner in the Declamatory Contest, taking first honors in the Senior year at the District contest. We soon found ourselves back in dear old S. E. H. S. for our second journey. It was our turn to help initiate Freshies and that we surely did, they looked greenov than we ever did. We were fortunate in having Miss Kokjer as our sponsor again. The class officers chosen were: President, Leslie Shaffer; Vice-President, Gerald DeVore; Secretary-Treasurer, Herman Ronnquist. On this journey we started winning contests, and we kept it up. For a contest, held for the Beaver, we received a pennant in Maroon and White, our High School colors. A good time we remember best of all was our fourth holiday which we won in a Maroon Contest, spent at Fullerton Bluffs. And all the parties at Albion Bluffs, John Anderson’s, Verna’s, Ada’s and the little secret party held at Della’s? ? ? Before we hardly realized it, we had started on our third journey. New members entered our class this year much to our benefit. Miss Kokjer did not come back, so Miss Hageman was chosen to fill her place. At class election, Leslie was again appointed President, having proved efficient the year before. Roy Smith was chosen Vice-President, and Ella Skanderup, Secretary and Treasurer. This journey was a very busy one and in February we presented, “Welcome Home Jimmy” our Junior Class play one of the most successful ever given in S. E. H. S. Of equal success was our Junior-Senior banquet. Two fourth holidays we won from the Maroon and Beaver contests, one was spent at Fullerton Bluffs. We did not make use of the other one. The parties held at Royal’s and Weldon’s were surely full of pep. Then in the twinkling of an eye it seemed we were Seniors. Twenty-eight returned to complete the last journey together. Miss Hageman again took the responsibility of sponsorship and class officers were: Roy Smith, President; Ella Scanderup, Vice-President; Verna Jenson, Secretary-Treasurer. A half holiday we won was spent at Columbus. Will Miss Hageman ever let us go so far away again with our unchangeable luck? Another half holiday was spent at Albion. Our Senior Class play “Mother Mine” was given in May. This journey brought much happiness and pleasure to us, and then, too, sadness fell on our pathway when we realized that graduation was so near. The innumerable good times spent together on our journays through S. E. H. S. are very dear to us. The last memorable event was the Commencement of ’28, and we are now ready to go out upon the new pathways of life.

This year our subscription list numbers three hundred sixty five. It has been self supporting. Orchestra The St. Edward High School Orchestra is in its second year since organization. Though handicapped by the loss of leading instruments through last years graduation, the orchestra built upon the foundation laid the first year, endeavoring to produce an advanced type of work. In this they were very successful, handling with good effect some of the standard compositions of well known composers. In public performance the orchestra played for the High School assembly, the Junior Class play, and the Parent-Teacher association. The personnel of the orchestra follows: H. W. Thompson, Clarinetist and Director Violinists Ella Skanderup Bertha Truelove Genevieve Rominger Opal Birkby Saxophonists John Anderson Max Knudsen Lester Schafer Donald Schafer, Cornetist Ernest Gorr, Trombonist Aubrey Allen, Drums Eva Miller, Pianist Faculty Play “THE LADY FROM OKLAHOMA’’ THE CAST Miss Ruth Herrick Editor of “The Woman’s Friend” Miss Hageman “Tim,” her office boy .....

In it we find humor, strong characterization, dramatic appeal, and real life artistically portrayed.

Her heart has remained warm and youthful through the years, always in perfect sympathy and understanding with the joys and sorrows of young people. She now wishes for a son. Jerry MacDonnell, a city outcast of about seventeen years of age, breaks into her home and in doing so, falls and twists his ankle. Miranda gives him food and shelter for the night and asks him to stay with her on the farm. In this she sees an answer to her prayers. How she brings out the finer side of his nature affords an absorbing story.

The sub-district contest was held at Albion, April 9, winners from Neligh, Tilden, Albion and St. Edward participating. The scores this evening proved Isabel Greig winner in the Humorous class and Leslie Shaffer winner in the Oratorical class. This is the finest showing St. Edward ever made in the sub-district contest. We sent winners to Wayne, April 23, to the District Contest, Isabel received third place. Leslie Shaffer, winner of the District Contest The orator from St. Edward carried off the honors at Wayne and entered the State Contest. “S. E. Club At last our high school supports an organization which has been needed for many years. It is known as the “S. E.” Club. At present its membership is limited to student managers and basketball men. After this organization has been established on a firm basis, we are expecting to broaden the field of eligibility. The basketball squad of this year makes up the present membership: This includes: Kenneth Carter John Miller Harlan Nelson Marvin Nelson Gerald DeVore Hilbert Hazlitt Marion Buck The officers for this term are: Alumni Representative.. Gerald DeVore Sec.-Treas.........................Kenneth Carter Vice-Pres. ..................Marion Buck President. .........................Harlan Nelson Junior-Senior Banquet The Junior-Senior Banquet given May 13, in the basement of the M. E. Church was a very picturesque scene. The scheme was an old-fashioned garden, successfully carried out by the many things suggestive of those good old days. With the orange and black of the Seniors used for streamers and the scarlet and cream of the Juniors used for roses, together with the multicolored hollyhocks, the colors were arranged in pleasing fashion. An old-fashioned well with an old oaken bucket stood in one comer of the fascinating little garden.

T. A. Organization The school and community take a great deal of pride in the Parent-Teacher Association organized this year. Starting with a charter membership of sixty-two the club has grown steadily. It is the purpose of the organization to stimulate interest on the part of the patrons and the community at large in those things which shall make for the welfare of the school. The organization serves as probably the best single means of securing the greatest degree of understanding and co-operation between parents and teachers. Here they meet on common ground with the pupii the chief concern of each. The resulting understanding and good-will is a potent influence in the making of a good school. The meetings of the Association have been prepared with the idea of yielding information regarding the possibilities of the organization, and of providing suggestions in harmony with the aims of the Association. These meetings have varied considerably in content, but they have been uniformly worthwhile and beneficial. The first meeting held in November was devoted to the details of organization. Mrs. J. E. Davis, the president of the Albion Association and a district officer, addressed the assembly of interested patrons and assisted in the organization. In the December meeting a miscellaneous program of entertainment was presented. Mrs. Armitage of Albion addressed the Association at the January meeting. At this time also a mens’ chorus from Albion entertained with several musical numbers. In February the Mothers presented a historical pageant in celebration of the founding of the National Association. This pageant represented the achievements of the P. T. A. during its history. The men of the organization were made responsible for the program of the March meeting, and secured Rev. C. E. Buch, of Genoa, to address the Association. In the April meeting after a program of entertainment featuring Mr. Nelson’s orchestra, and a class demonstration by the Third Grade, Rev. Frank addressed the Association. The final meeting of the year will be held in May. The officers of the Parent-Teacher Association have done efficient service in making the organization successful. They are to be commended in giving this progressive institution a most favorable beginning. The officers for this year, and re-eleceted for next year, are here given: Mrs. Joe Schafer President Mi-. H. W. Thompson ______________ 1st Vice-President Miss Hettie Hehnke 2nd Vice-President Mrs. H. P. Knudsen .. Recording Secretary Mrs. C. J. Shaffer Recording Secretary Mr. E. C. DeVore ...................... Treasurer Mrs. Nellie Cross Chairman Program Committee Mr. Verne Case Chairman Membership Committee Mrs. Arnold Hasselbalch Chairman Hospitality Committee Mrs. J. A. Lister Chairman Publicity Committee DEPARTMENTS Social Sciences Our Social Science Course includes General History in the Tenth Grade, Civics in the Eleventh Grade, and American History in the Eleventh Grade, and American History in the Twelfth Grade. Interest in the General History course has never lagged. From the standpoint of achievement in historical knowledge, understanding, and interpretation we are greatly pleased with the success of the class as a whole. The Civics course stresses political Civics in the first semester. In this the method of instruction included the use of outlines and practical application of the procedures studied where-ever possible. Economic and Social Problems were taken up the second semester. Practical studies and observations were made throughout the course, and theses on selected problems were prepared by each student. A very thorough study was made of the development of democratic institutions and American ideals by the American History class. The general method was that of tracing the development of problems in American life and showing their bearing or application to modern problems. The aims of the Home Economics class this year have been:—to prepare for better home makers; to instill a love for the everyday things of life; to learn the joy obtained by doing for others; the why for success and failures, the need for cleanliness, thoroughness, orderliness, and working schedules, and to show the importance of trained mothers and home makers. The course this year has been devoted to meal plan studies, a few weeks to an intensive study of bread making, pastry, cakes, and other more elaborate dishes. Personal hygiene and health work were brought in during the course of the year. Chemistry is a subject that has development during the last thirty years from a science known by compai-atively few to a science of wide-spread interest. Not only is a knowledge of chemistry necessary to the student of other sciences; but it is useful to men and women in any walk of life. The class this year has devoted its efforts in studying theories and laws, then through practical experiments have worked out its applications. Home and everyday problems were always encouraged. The botany class has devoted its course to an intensive study of the various plant groups. Our aim has been two fold. First, to create an appreciation of the value of plants as a part of life. Second, to cultivate a love for nature to help one enjoy life more fully. General Science, a required subject of all Freshmen is given the first semester of the year. The course was organized in detail under five major topics of air, water, food protection, and the work of the world, presenting under them a series of projects. Each of these, which it attempts to present as worth while to the pupil leads to genera! principles that should be understood by every intelligent man or woman. Great interest was shown in every phase of the study of Agriculture. The mos-was made of the single semester of this science which should receive far more study in the schools of this state than it usually receives. Our study was made as practical as possible by experiments, home projects, and field trips. Home Economics Normal Training The pedagogy class must necessarily take up a variety of kinds of work in preparing teachers. During the first semester, principles of teaching connected with the elementary school subjects are studied. Observations in the grades were made. Then follow the writing of lesson plans, rural school administration and the sanitation and hygiene of rural school buildings. There were thirteen seniors and fifteen juniors in the Normal Training class. The review subjects are alternated1, the same subjects being taken by Seniors and Juniors. This year we studied reading, spelling, grammar and physiology. English Department The English Department boasts of being the largest department in the High School. Eighty-eight percent of the entire High School registration was enrolled in the English Department. Fundamentals and Composition were studied during the first semester in English Nine. A part of each semester has been spent in studying classics—Vision of Sir Launfal, Ancient Mariner, The I ady of the Lake, and Silas Marner. Some attention has also been paid to Modern Discourse. Two semesters of Tenth English has been offered this year. Heretofore, but one semester has been given. Special attention has been given to Oral Composition and letter writing. The Merchant of Venice was studied intensively. Eleventh and Twelfth English have been combined. Fifty-three students comprise this group. American Literature was studied intensively the first semester. The Second semester was given over to Shakespeare’s Hamlet. All through the course the practical side of English has been emphasized. The practical ideal of the department is to graduate individuals who understand letter writing; who can express their thoughts without “sawing the air with their hands”; and who can read good literature and really enjoy it. Manual Training Registration in the Manual Training Department is limited. Our shop will accommodate but ten individuals. Regular instruction is reserved for Freshmen. Several Seniors have done special work during the second semester. One girl took the course. Fourteen constitute the total enrollment. Commercial The Commercial department had enrolled this year forty-one students the first semester and fifty-three the second semester. They were allowed to take work in one or several of the following: subjects: Beginning and Advanced Shorthand, Be- ginning or Advanced Typing, Commercial Arithmetic, Commercial Law and Bookkeeping. One can estimate the value of this department by asking the students who took this course and by examining some of the work. Some of the students have made it their aim to fit themselves for office work while others are only preparing for a general business education. Mathematics The Freshman Algebra class has tried the double-period plan, recitation followed by preparation—in other words, supervised study. The results have been even better than hoped for. At the close of the term they will have completed quadratics, and ratio and proportion. The Plane Geometry classes will have completed the five books of their text, also some supplementary topics, original problems and practical applications in determining distances, surfaces, volumes and angular measures. We have had very large classes in Advanced Algebra and Solid Geometry. They completed the courses as outlined by the Course of Study, and also some supplementary work, such as logarithms and elementary trigonometry. Mr. Weinerth’s wonderful personality, sportmanship, and great coaching ability, developed out of a new basketball squad, a team that will never be forgotten in the S. E. H. S. history. Mr. Weinerth’s way of coaching gets the best there is out of every individual on the squad. COACH C. C. WEINERTH CAPT. NELSON, M. 176 lbs. Marvin has played his fourth and last year for S. E. H. S. He is a “mean” floor man and he hits baskets with surprising accuracy. “Munn” is the leading scorer of the season. Only a real man can fill his place. CAPT. MARVIN NELSON HAZLIETT 120 lbs. This is Hazliett’s first year on the team. He is a Sophomore and plays a guard position. “Chick” is especially clever with the ball. His dribbling and coolness were instrumental in his team’s success. MILLER 135 lbs. Miller is a Senior. He plays guard. Although a first year man, John was, at all times, the “fire” of the team. He was always the one to “talk it up.” Only a good man can fill Miller’s place next year. BUCK 128 lbs. Buck is our diminutive forward. In reality “Tig” is not a veteran—he just plays like one. He is a dribbler with ability. Buck is dependable. He returns next year. DeVORE 130 lbs. This is DeVore’s first year on the squad. Jerry is shifty and heady. One can always depend on him to give his best. He is a Senior. NELSON, H. 143 lbs. Harlan joined the squad during the second semester. He played forward and center. His natural ability is a credit to any team. He is a Junior and will be with us next year. CARTER 162 lbs. “Bill” is always the same. He is always that hard-working back guard. He was handicapped by a bad foot for part of the season. He is a Junior and will be one of the veterans to return. Boys’ Basketball A squad of about twenty men turned out for practice. Nelson and Carter were the only lettermen in the group. The new material was unusually light, but speedy. A short-passing and pivoting offensive machine was construeed. The five-man defence was used throughout the season. The season was a very successful one, we winning fourteen of twenty-three games. Among our opponents were the strongest teams in this section. We were placed in Class E at the State Tournament. In the first round we defeated Newman Grove. The Curtis Aggies, winners of the class, eliminated us in the second round.

At the end of the season all were playing like veterans. We feel that all has been well in spite of the score book. We owe much to our capable coach, Miss Clevenger, whose untiring efforts has placed her high in the estimation of all who came in contact with her. CAPT. E. NELSON—GUARD Capt. Nelson is a fighter from the first whistle. Her weight combined with her sticktuitiveness and natural ability makes her a valuable asset to any team. DELLA NELSON—FORWARD AND GUARD Could Della have played all positions our team would have soared to greater heights in the athletic world. Della solved any defense and was the dread of opposing forwards. Now. the sad part—Della is a Senior. MARION DeVORE—GUARD Marion has been one of the most faithful members of the team. At all times she has given her best—no one can do any more. Marion is a Senior which means that S. E. H. S. loses a good all around girl as well as basketball player. ADA LIGHTNER—GUARD She’s another Senior and also has other good qualities. This was Ada’s first year on the team. She is a fitting mate to Captain Nelson when it comes to checking any offensive advance. ESTHER LANDEN—CENTER “Give it to “Essie”. She was the chief offensive cog. Her short field goals featured most games. Applied to her, the time worn expression “A shifty and rangy center” is no figure of speech. Esther is a Senior. LULU NELSON—FORWARD AND GUARD Lulu was the only Freshman on the squad. She displayed natural ability and plenty of fight. With three years to go, and already a veteran, just watch her. MEL JACKSON—GUARD Mel is the Soph’s only representative. Mel’s accomplishments on the basketball court spell St. Ed. spirit. Her floor game is heady and fast. A veteran now, and two years to go. MARY K. CLEVENGER—COACH She is the one who made them. Her efforts were in a true sense, devotional. Two veterans were the foundation upon which she built one of the most successful teams our high school has ever placed in competition. Miss Clevenger will be here next year.
