Text from Pages 1 - 92 of the 1930 volume:

S . 1 f ' ft - ■' � The BEAVER Nineteen Hundred Thirty l jFnrnuord EACH member of the Staff of the 1930 Beaver has put forth his best effort and worked hard to paint in writing and in pictures School Life at the St. Edward High School. Through this volume we have attempted to show our readers just what we have accomplished and enjoyed during this most successful school year. We hope that you will enjoy the Beaver at least half as much as we have the things that are revealed within its pages. “Good Luck to all our readers.” —The Staff. HriUrattmt TO PRINCIPAL F. A. Martin. An untiring worker, a sincere friend to all, and a most excellent adviser. To him, because he has given us his best, we respectfully dedicate this, the seventh volume of the Beaver. -aJ a aTLol ET ©hr iFarultij NOT A LITTLE of the credit for the splendid progress made by the St. Edward schools belongs to the members of the faculty. Their fine mental equipment, their leadership qualities and their lofty ideals have combined to instill in the student body the urge for scholastic attainment and the desire to achieve a high measure of success in the varied activities of the school. Actuated at all times by the desire to lay well the foundations of citizenship of those under their supervision, they sought by precept and example, at work or at play, to exert those influences that go to build rugged qualities of body, mind and soul.

This was the beginning of a class which was to become famous for its pep, originality and determination—the class of ’30. We shall never forget that never-to-be-forgotten day when we entered the St. Ed. high as Freshmen. After the usual week of bickering and dilly-dallying about, we settled down to a year of diligent study. The first class meeting was held in September. Our class profited in getting Miss Hageman to sponsor us. Officers elected for the year were: Anna Nelson, president; Erma Apple, vice-president. Green and White were chosen as our class colors and our pennant and colors stand for us in every respect. The white for our clear record and the green for our strength and vigor in boosting for S. E. H. S. The year was pleasantly interrupted by class parties and a picnic held at the Big Cut near the end of the term. We shall long remember our dear old Freshmen days. At the beginning of our Sophomore year we were brought under the leadership of Mr. Gradoville, our class sponsor. Class officers were. Kenneth Matzen, president; Mildred Jenson, vice-president; Vernon Nelson, secretary-treasurer. We began the year as a peppy class of forty-five, determined to prove our worth. We fulfilled our $50 pledge to the Athletic fund and completed our Beaver contract. Three members represented the class in the local Declamatory contest, one of whom received a first place and four were in the Dramatic club, under Miss Tracy’s supervision. We will all remember our Sophomore year as one of our successful terms and recall many of our social parties and our enjoyable trip to Fullerton, ending our second year in the St. Edward High School. September soon rolled around again and here we were Juniors. Realizing our heavy responsibility for the year we took due care in electing our class officers: Kenneth Matzen, president; Mildred Jenson, vice-president; Ruby Jensen, secretary-treasurer and Miss Scriven, sponsor. We started the term with more serious attitudes and put on our dignified look and went to work. The Maroon Peosters were organized under Mr. Martin’s supervision, in which several of the class were represented. We played our part in the athletics of the year such as football, basketball and track; a’so other activities as Maroon contest, Beaver contest (we shall never forget the worried look of the Seniors in the close race for winners), the Carnival, Declamatory contest and others. The Junior play, “The Eyes of Love,” was presented at the High School Auditorium, October 26 and 27, which proved a great success. The Junior-Senior Banquet was held May 2, in the Methodist church basement, displaying our artistic work. Commencement of the Seniors caused us to realize the nearness of our Senior year. It seemed no time until we were back aga;n in full swing for our final year. Yes, we were now Seniors! Miss Scriven again took the responsibility of sponsorship and the class officers were: Ei Gordon Neal, president; Mildred Jenson, vice-president, Ruby Jensen, secretary-treasurer. We set our goal to win the scholastic contest which took in a wide territory. Our Senior class play, “The Thirteenth Chair,” was given at the High School Auditorium April 18 and 19, which proved very successful under Miss Wright’s sponsorship, with the help of various members of the faculty. We were a proud group when we received our class rings the latter part of March. Our last memorial event was Commencement May 16, starting forty-three afresh out into this world to shift for themselves. Class PrnphrBi; Would you, O, my Senior brothers, Catch a glimmer of the future, Like a firefly in the twilight That enshrouds the summer evening?— When the trail shall lie behind you, Who shall faint beneath its hardships, Who shall stumble on undaunted, Where the journey’s end shall find you, What shall be your new surroundings, Who shall be your new companion Which of your St. Edward comrades Shall be with you when your travels Are successfully concluded Harken, then, my Senior brothers, To the auguries of Chaska. Look! I see a trail before you, Verging into the horizon, In a far-off, clouded glory: Near at hand the way is rugged, Stony, steep, beset with prickles, Danger crouches in the thickets; Thus by turns, by others pleasant, Velvety beneath the footfall, Sunny skies and feasts of landscape, Now and then some friendly converse. Can I pierce the haze, obscuring All the questions you would have my Powerful medicine answer? Listen— John shall go across the ocean That the little Father told us Lies beyond the region lifeward— There to splash in diplomatics. Ellen is doomed to clatter dishes In a pan of foaming soapsuds, But her soul shall soar above them, Plotting our scenarios. Pearl shall seek the movie magnates And attain anon to stardom. Leda, if she sacrifices, If she does not frizz nor frivol, Shall embrace the boon she covets— To appeal to J. M. Ellis. Numbers still shall bother Mel After he has left St. Edward, Both the number in mathematics And the number of his in-laws. Vera needs no seer to tell her That her fate smiles in her dimples. Walt shall be a plump policeman A friend to speeding comrades. Ruth shortly shall discover Paint that can’t be told from nature; When she puts it on the market. She can cloth herself in purple. Want shall be the lot of Dorothy Not of money—but of a husband. Roy by Mildred shall be jilted, Broken-hearted he shall wonder For two long and lonesome evenings Then in Anne he shall find solace. Doris in her school house red Will teach the small ones till she’s dead. Oscar is to plow and spring tooth, Sow and garner bumper harvest, Be an up-and-coming farmer. Donald shall mingle with the muses, Spouting anapests and dactyls. Varyl shall smirk across the counter. As he wraps up thread and buttons. George is doomed a photographer While Gordon’s great experiments Sha'l work wonders with Anna’s rheumatism. Mary Anne shall be head waitress In the home of Dick and Dornie. Myrtle sits in a gigantic Cathedral in Spain Playing a pipe-organ upon which she acquired fame. On the banks of Rio De Janeiro Grace will sell her wares of cookery. Vaughn shall be the Colliers’ artist Kathleen and Audrey will pose as models. For “Shin” whose nose was always in the air Makes a non-stop flight with his famous glider. His friend, Kenneth Matzen, learns the art of speaking And is now' an instructor in the college of Harvard. Some say that “Pat” New'ton who joined the ranks, Is captain of a team excelling the Yanks. Harold Miller received a patent on his “Golden Glint” And so all the ladies give their hair a lustrous tint. Albert decided that he needed a rest So boarded a train for the great Northwest. IH Frank Apgar is a lawyer In a city in the East. Clarisa goes to foreign lands And becomes a missionary to China and Japan. Vera W. works in fields of grain Shocking wheat and raising cain. Gertrude now, Gertrude ever------ Flaherty now, but not forever----?? Margaret has entered an American Business College But meets her Prince Charming and fails to return. The three Ruby’s go to college tut only two return For Ruby Cumming vamped her teacher Her hobby when in St. Ed. High. Anna shall sign her letters Mrs. Lester Eugene Kealy. Class Will While we lingered in St. Edward, In the sunny Land of Learning, We acquired some few possessions, We amassed some strings of knowledge For the soil is black and fertile— E’en the laziest must prosper, A.nd we Seniors are not lazy. On this eve of our departure Down the long, long trail to lifeward, In a pile we have collected All the choicest of our treasures To take with us on the journey; But we find they are too heavy— Slow, too slow would be our progress, If we carried half this burden; So, except for bits of knowledge We have gathered in St. Edward And the bulky pack of memories Of old days, old friends, old frolics, We must leave our wealth behind us, All our treasures and possessions. Lest there be unseemly discord O’er the spoils when we have vanished, Over who should have this keepsake And to whom should go that relic, Aided by the Little Father, We have made a will in writing, To divide our riches fairly. Listen while I read its clauses— You may find yourself remembered. We the Seniors of St. Edward, Being in our usual senses— Which, mayhaps, you think means nothing— Being on the point of going From the sunny Land of Learning, Never to return among you, Do bequeath to our inferiors, Otherwise known as our schoolmates, Do bequeath to our superiors, Otherwise known as our teachers, All the riches we are seized of On this evening of departure, Saving such as we so cherish That we never can relinquish. ITEM 1: To the Board of Education, all my power of seeing through a stone wall; that power which, in time past, has made my course in life so spectacular, and the lack of which has brought my career to an ignominious failure. My legacy to the Board of Education, the power of seeing through a stone wall, is given in order to save the legatee from future serious disaster, and because it is evident that said legatee is expected by the community at large to possess this great gift. ITEM II: To the faculty of the St. Edward high school. I give and bequeath and devise my visions, all in good and unhampered condition. By this gift they will be enabled to depict the future of all the girls and boys under their charge, and so wisely to arrange their lives from day to day. By the use of this gift. I know, they will avoid all mistakes to which all ordinary members of the human family are subject. ITEM III: To the Juniors, who will soon become Seniors, I bequeath all the mistakes, blunders, inaccuracies, and lapses committed by me during the last exciting year of my most exciting life. Mistakes seem to be the natural portion of youth, and by acquiring the mistakes of another, which never hurt so much as one’s own, the recipient may be spared making so many himself. ITEM IV: To the Freshmen and Sophomores, collectively and individually. I convey my power of saying the wrong thing in the right place, or the right thing in the wrong place. Just how this is accomplished I am not able to say. Each one- will need to work the matter out for himself or herself. There is no doubt that much benefit will result from the effort. Our large castles and estates in Spain, I give to anyone who cares to exercise the squatter’s privileges and take possession. While the habitations are now in fine repair, they must be occupied at the entire risk of the legatee. No accidents, whatever, may be made an excuse for demands upon any other beneficiary.

The class of ’31 is distinguished by several characteristics among which is their ability to do many th'ngs well. They are well represented in all the various activities of the school. When the student becomes a Junior he can see a definite aim and prupose in school and begins to work more seriously toward it. The high average of scholarship maintained in this class is ample proof of this earnestness. The Juniors have reason to congratulate themselves on their choice of sponsor, Miss Wright, who accepted the responsibility willingly and has worked hard all year assisting the class. She helped to make the social activities enjoyable and other affairs undertaken by the class successful. i As the Juniors go into the Senior year, they will go not as those leaving behind joys and responsibilities, but as those going to a bigger and fuller realization of those joys and responsibilities.

At the beginning of the year the sophomores elected the following capable officers: Ernest Nelson, president; Norman Peterson, vice-president; Mary Anderson, secretary; Frances Rockey, treasurer. The Sophomores have a great deal of musical and dramatic talent in their class as well as sending the majority out for athletics, of whom six won football letters. They also bad a good representation on the track team. Some of the girls represented the class in Glee Club and Physical Training. Five members of their class are Maroon Pepsters.

Many times during the preparation of this book the staff found itself faced with some puzzling situation with no background of experience to aid in its solution. Nevertheless the memlers have done their very best and hope that the completed annual will compare favorably with those of other years. Factors which have a’ded them and which they duly appreciate include the splendid co-operation given by the student body during the campaign for subscriptions, the hearty support of townspeople and espe-cia’lv the advertisers who have made outside advertisements unnecessary. Also they appreciate the advantageous contracts and the co-operation of both the photographer, Mr. Wilson, and Mr. Cramer, the printer. The Beaver staff has endeavored, with what success you may judge, to edit a book equal to, or better, than those cf previous years. They have striven to make the 1930 Beaver representative and to preserve within the covers of the book true history of the life of St. Edward high school. F.

The Club, under the leadership of Miss Wright, has had a very busy and successful year. This is the third year it has been functioning. Gesture, body control, pantomimes and other phases of dramatic art have been studied in the meetings. The Club meets every two weeks. In December it held a public meeting at which two one-act plays, “The Governor’s Shoes,” and “Fiat Lux,” were presented. The members also gave a one-act play before the assembly at Christmas time, “The Beau of Bath.” In the spring the club sponsored the ‘ Valiant,” which was entered in the “Little Theatre Tournament” at Fremont, April 11. The cast was awarded fourth place in the contest and Rose Nelson was the winner of the one hundred dollar scholarship to Midland College, for the best individual acting.

The Club is divided into the fo’lowing groups: first soprano, alto and baritone. Among the songs they have worked on are the Volga Boatman’s songs, “Morning,” “Trade Winds,” and the ‘ Pilgrims Chorus.” The Club has practiced two nights each week. Altogether there are 23 members. Dorothy Webb is the accompanist. The value of glee club training to the student is incalculable inasmuch as it broadens his appreciation for good music and affords him an opportunity to express himself in a way in which otherwise he could not.

Kumor Class Plai; “The Girl Who Forgot”—a three-act comedy drama produced by the Junior class November 22 and 23. The play was a complication of youth and romance struggling against the temptations of crime. Max Knudsen gave an excellent portrayal of the leading masculine role while Rose Nelson played the part of the little blind girl in a charming and effective manner. Sarah Lister enacted the part of the “girl who forgot” with much talent. Irene Shaffer and Clifford Anderson provoked many a laugh with their Swedish dialect and outlandish clothes. Elaine Ellis and Maynard Wilson ably depicted the villianous characters and a sparkling flirtation was easy for Odetta Thompson and Eugene Fonda. The play was well received, the audience both nights responding admirably to the tense dramatic moments of the play and equally well to the humorous incidents. The play was directed by Miss Wright. Odetta Kennedy was business manager and the stage effects were in charge of the following committee: Gordon Neal, chairman. Anne Keeshan, Anna Nelson, Mildred Jensen, Vaughn Anderson, Robert Moore.

In this class, under the supervision of Mr. Helt, the students applied practical use the knowledge obtained. A more attractive makeup, better feature stories, improved news stories and better English are among the improvements noted. The Public Speaking class, under the direction of Miss Wright, edited the paper the second semester. As a result of the instruction received in these two classes the paper has been put on a higher journalistic basis and has been edited more systematically. The Maroon is financed through the student activities fund. The cost of the nine issues is one hundred and five dollars. Advertising pays half the expense. The circulation is about 300. In April a booster edition was published in place of the regular issue. This issue was largely devoted to stories featuring departments, data regarding the growth of the school and an outline of the plans for the future. The staff has been shifted during the year a great deal to give the students experience in the different departments. Dona’d Wake has been editor for most issues and Sarah Lister has been assistant. Other members of the staff are: Rose Nelson, Odetta Kennedy, Anna Nelson, Harold Mil'er, June Ellis, Irene Shaffer, Maynard Wilson, Kenneth Matzen, Anne Keeshan, Ruth Wathen, Gordon Neal, and Walter Koop. jlTU. Utaroott JJepstrre ‘Team, team, ray, ray, Team, team, ray, ray, Who ray, who ray? Team! Team! Team!” Pep in their name, pep in their yells, pep shining out all over them, that’s the “Maroon Pepsters.” As a two year old organization, this year the pep club certainly has flourished and given service to the school. The Club was organized in the fall of 1929 in order to create more pep among the student body and to assume responsibility for pep programs at the athletic contests. They have been under the efficient leadership of Principal Martin. The members of the Club are elected each year by the student body. They purchased, early in the year, maroon trousers, white shirts and maroon tarns which made their drills and programs picturesque. Besides enthusiastically supporting the teams at all times, the Pepsters have undertaken library supervision and accomplished other valuable services about the school. A Pepster award was given to each member at the end of the year. The award is shaped like a beaver and worked out in maroon and white. The yell leaders, an essential part in any pep club, were Kathleen McCay and Leo Hall, who at all times were faithful and inspiring leaders. ft Ohrist R.

The purpose of the Club is to develop more efficient teachers and to prepare the girls for the teaching profession. The meetings were held every first and third Tusday of each month at the homes of the members. At each meeting experienced teachers gave a talk. Among our own teachers who have given talks at the meetings are Misses Leckey, Smith, Lawrence and Hehnke. Others who have been on the programs are Mrs. Finch and Miss Oma Thompson. Miss Lawrence has helped us to make a toy orchestra and paint pictures. Each month the girls decorate the Normal Training room as the one room rural school should be decorated. They have been handicapped in this respect because the room must be used as a class room for other subjects. This year they sponsored the second “All Girls” Hallowe’en party, which proved to be a great success. rnuir (Class JJlaij “The Thirteenth Chair,” given Friday and Saturday, April 18 and 19.

On the scene arrives a little old queer Irish Lady who says she is a medium. She goes into a trance and questions are asked her with the purpose of fnding the murderer of a family friend. The questions are stopped as the person, (Mr. Wales), occupying the Thirteenth Chair is stabbed. Suspicion is rife. Everyone is accused of the murder of Mr. Wales, even the innocent looking sweetheart, (Miss O’Neil). Until, at last, the conscience of the murderer, Mason, can stand it no longer and he confesses as the knife falls from the ceiling of the room.

Some think it is just a course in farm carpentry while others feel that it is just class work and is not practical. Neither of these ideas are correct. We have a three year course in Agriculture. The first year Crops, the second Animal Husbandry and the third is a combination of Farm Problems both Economic and Social. In each of these courses there is a considerable amount of shop work. This year the boys have made brooder houses, feeders of every kind, hog houses, etc., and a large number of pieces at the forge. Each year each boy must have and keep records on a project. Judging contests also play an important part in the work. This year the boys competed at York, at Albion and in the State Contest at Lincoln. Our dairy team placed second at Lincoln and many of the boys won individual ribbons. Oscar Skanderup won the $100 scholarship offered by the Union Pacific to the Boone County boy with the best project and record book. John Baustert, also of our schol, placed second. jlTLb. ET Arturitif Association One of the most beneficial and efficient plans introduced into the school this year was the Student Activities Association system. Each student belonging to this association either paid $3.25 for a season ticket or else paid 10c a week for thirty-six weeks or a total of $3.60. The students paying bv the week possessed stamp books. The office was open two mornings each week and at this time the students could purchase stamps. As long as the stamp books were paid up to date the student could attend any entertainment under the association’s direction. The activities included in the plan were: The Maroon, Dramatic plays and contests, all athletics and several other fine entertainments put on by outside talent. The association had a very accurate system of bookkeeping and accounting. The expenses were all paid by check so that an accurate account wou'd be available. All checks wrere required to be signed by the Student Manager and the Superintendent. The bookkeeping was done in two sets of books. The one set was an account of the fund as a whole and contained all expense and income as it was incurred in every branch of activity. The other set consisted of every branch of activity as a separate part and all the transactions of each fund were kept separate. This bookkeeping was done by the Student Manager and balanced and compared with the bank balance every month. The accomplishments of the association were very great. It purchased all athletic equipment including $50 worth of track equipment, new basketball suits and equipment amounting to $150, $90 worth of football equipment, all equipment for girls athletics, sent the declamatory contestants to Petersburg and Newman Grove, sent ‘ The Valiant” cast to Fremont, paid royalties on plays, obtained entertainments for the students at a cost of over $100, contributed $25 to the Maroon Pepsters and is still in good financial condition.

ET ra ilumor- fittor Sfonqu t The Junior class of ’31, with Miss Wright as sponsor, was host to the class of ’30 and faculty at a banquet held the first day of May at six thirty o’clock at the Methodist church. The motif was “Byrd’s recent antartic expedition to the south pole.” The guests were received in a large model living room. From there the class presidents, Eugene Fonda and Gordon Neal led them through a low door into an ice igloo. The igloo was made of white crepe paper. Model aeroplanes and a ninteen-thirty model hanger were in the room. The guests found their places at the tables which were arranged in the shape of an aeroplane. They were decorated with snow bushes. Very attractive favors made of green and white, the Senior class colors, were at each plate. The Juniors’ mothers served a marvelous dinner. Music was played while they ate. The program was very effective and well executed. The idea was very original and instructive. The Seniors, represented Commander Byrd, going out into the unknown.

To the boys who played on the teams and to the loyalty of students and friends of the school goes much of the credit. But a good coach is the third ingredient without which no team or school can long be successful, and we have just such a coach. Mr. Lester E. France came to us from Doane College where he had made a name for himself as a school leader and is an ath'ete. He lettered once in football, four times in basketball and four times in track. He captained teams in the latter two sports. His record as a coach is to'd elsewhere in the pages of this book. Under his guidance the school has gained a new and greater prestige and our athletic conquests have just begun. To be a good coach demands in addition to knowing the fine points of the games, a knowledge of men. ability to lead, tireless energy and optimism. He is coming back next year to lead newer and better teams. COACH FRANCE Pahrman Newton Weldon Knudsetl Coach France Ellis A. Wake (ireig Westmore V’. Nelson Jasa Curtis Pearson Moore jlItu. IH IT) STlt iFootbaU §?a0on Too much credit cannot be given to the football men. It takes training, hard work and determination to make a successful football team. At the beginning of the season twenty-four men reported for practice; among them were nine letter men. From this group, Coach France developed a team which was much feared by our opponents. Under the leadership of Captain Walter Koop the Maroons broke even in the percentage column, winning four games, losing four and tieing one. Considering the size of the school and the hard schedule the Maroons had a very successful season. Nineteen men lettered this year, only nine are graduating, which shows another good team will be on the gridiron next year. The football season was opened by a game with Newman Grove. The boys made a fine start by carrying the ball eighty-five yards on the kickoff for a touchdown. The Maroons then became over confident and the next quarter the opponents scored a touch down and extra point. The second half was a “Battle Royal’’ but late in the game a pass was intercepted by Bennett and the winning touchdown was scored. Our second game was with Albion. The Maroons lacked form both on the defense and offense, while the veteran team from Albion was using every advantage. During the first half the Maroons held them to two touchdowns. During the second half Albion ran rampant and scored three more touchdowns. This game showed our weaknesses which they were then able to gain slowly but surely to overcome. Elgin found the Maroons a stubborn, fighting team. The offense and defense of the St. Edward team had been greatly improved since the Albion game. The first half, though ending with no scoring by either team, was decidedly in favor of the Maroons. But during the remaining two quarters two touchdowns were scored by the Maroons due to line plunges. Both afterpoints wrere made by the same style of play and the game ended 14-0 in our favor. Fullerton had played strong teams and had won all their games by convincing scores, only one touchdown having been scored against them. The Maroons decided this record should not stand and their decision was almost carried out. After the game started Fullerton, for the first time of the season, was afraid of losing. At the end of the first half the score was 7-6 in favor of Fullerton but the Maroons had gained more yards and out played them. At the opening of the third quarter Fullerton scored after a series of end runs. St. Edward, though advancing within several yards of the goal line, was unable to score. Fullerton, after intercepting a pass, scored again and the game ended 20-6 in their favor. In the Silvercreek game the Maroons lacked several regulars due to injuries, but the reserve material showed good football ability. Silver-creek used an aerial attack, while the Maroons still clung to line plunging. (Continued in Ad Section) IH i a ket IS all With a host of lettermen to work with, Coach France succeeded in turning out one of the most successful teams St. Edward has experienced. The boys won 8 out of 15 scheduled games and won 3 out of 4 games at the Columbus tournament to take the consolation honors. The players who lettered this season were: Captain Tyler, Rockey, Weed, Nelson Knudsen and Bennett, while Westmore, Ellis and Weldon filled in as subs. Ellis and Weldon received honorary letters as they were Seniors who were deemed worthy of some recognition as faithful standbys. Captain Tyler, guard position, is the only vacancy to be filled for the coming season and although he will be missed there are several willing aspirants to take his place. The Maroons started out with as hard a schedule as they have ever contracted, but it was anticipated by all, that a team equal to the schedule would be produced. The Maroons started practice the first week in December and by the date of their first game, December 19, they were just beginning to come into form. They took their first game with Neligh by a score of 18-9 and displayed a type of defense which was hard for the opposing teams to equal. Osceola was the next victim and proved to be an easy prey. On January 3 much excitement and rivalry was aroused when our traditional foes. Genoa, invaded the local territory to return defeated by a count of 15-14. The boys experienced their first out of town trip as well as their first experience on a large floor when they journeyed to Fullerton. A fast and furious game ensued but the opponents emerged victorious by a score of 6-8. The next two game with Belgrade and Spalding were relatively easy and two more victories were added to the ever increasing string. On January 24 the boys received their biggest upset of the season when the Genoa Indians turned a basket ball game into a route and piled up a 33-10 score. Albion was the next invader and after a most thrilling game the verdict was pronounced 10-9 in favor of Albion. The boys had seemingly fallen into a slump and on January 31 Fullerton accepted our challenge. Both teams were determined to win but it seemed that the Maroons were still held in the depths of defeat. They led throughout the game only to have victory snatched from them in the last thirty seconds of play when Fullerton sunk a lucky basket. Elgin came next in the running and after being defeated by a two point lead obtained in the closing seconds of play, victory seemed almost hopeless. February 12 rolled around and with it came one of the most desired victories on the schedule. The boys invaded Genoa’s new gymnasium and displayed a brand of basketball that was hard to handle. At half time the locals led by eight points but late in the third canto Genoa caged three baskets from the middle of the floor which made the situation dangerous. The score seesawed back and forth until at the final whistle the score stood 22 all. In an extra period following the Maroons slipped in a nifty basket which meant victory. The boys seemed to be strong on extra period games and allowed Belgrade to defeat them in the next game with an extra period of play. On February 19, the boys found the most desired victory of the season approaching. The game was played at Albion’s gym and everybody and his dog turned out for the I i I). Wake Ellis Curtis Coach France Pahrman Anderson A. Wake Nelson Koop Ttfasiu't U SU'srriu's The Reserves enjoyed a very successful season, winning nine out of ten games played. They were also instrumental in keeping the first team in the best of condition, while the keen comoetition which the first string gave them developed a reserve team that our opponents were unable to stop. The first game was with Osceola reserves. Everything was Maroon. The slaughter ended with a 15-3 score. Genoa juniors played a hard, fast game but the St. Edward Reserves took the game by a score of 10-5. Next the Reserves journeyed to Fullerton. It was their first game on a large floor. They felt rather awkward but easily maintained a lead throughout the game, score 24-18. The Albion Juniors were no match for the towering St. Edward team and the score of 26-14 in favor of the Maroons resulted. Fullerton seconds were a fighting team when they returned the visit (Continued in Ad Section) til jlELb. Ef Ueagite SSasfcrf Sail In order to make a good high school basketball team a Coach cannot have more than about fifteen men reporting for regular practice. To these men most of his time must be devoted. This does not build up our future basketball teams, for exceptionally good players are not developed in a year or two. Also since so few may indulge, the interest which must accompany any sport, in order to make it a success, is not aroused and many “would be” basketball players are lost. During the current season enough class men showed interest so that it was possible to have six teams, with several subs. These men were subject to same conditions as the second team in order to be eligible to compete. A total of six games was played. The teams, in order of their placing in the conference are: “Maroon Basketeers, captained by Alan Wake. “Beaver Valley Dudes,” captained by Roland Pahrman and “Old Ironsides,” captained by Alan Bennett tied for second. “Beaver Valley Coons,” captained by Vernon Nelson and Roughriders,” captained by June Ellis, tied for third. “Whizbangs,” captained by Clifford Anderson, fourth. A tournament at the close of the season was played. “Beaver Valley Coons” and the “Roughriders,” both third in the conference standing, went to the finals. The “Roughriders” won the game after five periods of playing by a score of 5-4, thus winning the tournament. Although the league has suffered this year because of having no convenient time to meet, it has been a success and will be a greater success next year. Plans for next year league are now complete. A more suitable practice schedule will be arranged. All first and second team basketball men will be eliminated to give new material a chance. We hope to be able to buy or receive donations of jerseys for each team. 3femtt0 This is the first year that tennis has appeared as one of the school sports. Though not exactly prominent, a successful year for the beginning of tennis is being predicted. The boys tennis club consists of the following: Donald Schaffer, Lester Schaffer, Max Knudsen, Roland Pahrman, Francis Cross, Glenn Wright, Norman Peterson and Gordon Neal. The elimination tournament has been played. Max Knudsen became the master of the court in this art, while Lester Schaffer was runner-up. A Little Ten Tennis meet is to be held at Clarks, April 26. St. Edward will be represented in the singles by Max Knudsen and in the doubles by Lester and Donald Schaffer. The boys show much ability and we hope that they will come out on top of the meet. The girls have also started a tennis club and though they will not enter the meet at Clarks, much advancement has been made. Next year we are certain to have a number of capable players among the fair sex. Newton Rockey Ellis A. Wake Jensen Peterson Coach France Fielden Swim Weed Koop Edwards Wilson Wathen Pearson V.

Before there were banks, progress was extremely slow—and it wrould be the same now if we had no banks upon which to build our business and credit structure. Your community bank is your own neighborhood’s instrument of progress. By patronizing it you help to make it a more and more effective instrument. The Smith National Bank St. Edward, Nebr. STOP!

The Elgin Reserves were our match during the regular game but in the extra period St. Edward went on a scoring spree and another victory resulted with a score of 12-6. The Genoa seconds were quite certain of winning when the Maroon Reserves journeyed there for a return game. The Maroons expected a hard game and were not dissappointed for they had to play an extra quarter in order to win by a score of 21-19. Albion seconds came next in line and in that order they joined the list of the defeated. Lacking competition the seconds played a slow game, shooting baskets only when they wanted the score changed. Thus they glided to an easy victory by the tune of 15-6. As the Genoa Indians have a large number attending school the Maroon Reserves expected to play against a good team. The game was fast and interesting, but after playing an even game in the first quarter the Indians uncorked a fast offense and took the lead by several baskets. The second half was a repetition of the first and a 20-6 victory for the Indians resulted. This was the Maroon Reserves’ first and only taste of defeat during the season. The final game of the season was played with Clarks Reserves. Though Clarks played hard they could not stop the Maroon Seconds’ offense nor often penetrate their defense. A victory of 20-8 was added to our splendid record and thus the basketball season for the second team closed. STUDENT ACTIVITY ASSOCIATION D.

Even most of the fellows out for athletics bought tickets. As has been shown by the above chart the plan was of the utmost benefit to the students. It enabled them to see all the activities at less than half price, which also is a great help to the parents. All expenses of the association also had to be passed on by the S. A. A. executive committee. This committee consisted of Dick Tyler, Walter Koop, Mildred Jenson, Audrey Nelson, Donald Wake, Kenneth Matzen, Coach France, Miss Wright, Miss Condell, Mr. Simpson, Mr. Martin and Mr. Helt. Kenneth Matzen was appointed student manager in September and since then has been a capable and dependable worker. To him as well as to the cooperation of the school and the community, is due credit for the success of the plan. His position will be hard to fill. BASKET BALL performance. Albion led at half time by a seven point margin but the boys came back with their old fight and early in the fourth quarter evened the score. In the breath taking minutes that followed each team scored several times, but finally St. Ed. came out on top with a one point margin. The next to the last scheduled game was at the Genoa Indian gym. The boys held their own throughout the first half but the Indians cut lose during the second session and piled up a 47-22 victory. The season ended in a rather glorious way when the boys tripped to Clarks and inflicted a crushing defeat. All eyes now turned to the Columbus tournament which was held the 6th and 7th of March at the Kramer H. S. gym. Their first game wras with Albion and the boys displayed a brand of real basket ball. Albion led at the half by 5 points but St. Edward rallied and the score stood knotted at the end of the fourth quarter. An extra period followed and a gift toss decided the score in our favor. Central City, a tournament favorite was the next victim and after a brilliant game went down to defeat. The boys played Columbus the next morning but were defeated 21-16. This proved to be Columbus’ last barrier and they went thru to take the tournament trophy after winning from David City. The boys were then entitled to play for the Consolation honors in the evening and defeated Bellwood 27-26. This ended a very happy and successful basket ball season.

Before You Buy, See if We Have It THE FOOTBALL SEASON After sighting the goal line several times the Maroons scored two touchdowns, winning the game. Score 14-0. Osceola came on Turkey Day. The day was cold, the snow had been scraped off the field but it was very muddy. The game was very exciting, the teams were of equal caliber, both desiring to end the season with a victory. The first half the Maroons were decidedly the stronger team. Early in the second quarter they were within ten yards of the goal but were unable to score. The next half Osceola brightened up and though the Maroons fought hard a touchdown resulted in the third quarter. Then the game was evenly played until the final whistle had blown with Osceola leading 7-0. This was the last game nine Seniors had the chance to play for S. E. H. S. They were: Newton, guard: I).
