The old scientist with several assistants was about to put the materials together for his last great contribution to science. He represented the class as a whole. The materials he used in his crucible were bits of class history. When all the history had been told—LO! there was an explosion. When the smoke and noise had died away, he found his results in the class prophecy, acted out in pantomime by each class member. The class will was represented as those materials which he did not use and those with which he was through. The history, prophecy and will in brief were: Freshman Year Max Knudsen....................

As a solution for this the Student Activities Association has been used successfully for two years. We made one important change in our plan. Last year the Student Manager had complete charge of all the work but this year it is divided between a Student Manager and a Student Secretary. The activities which were offered last year were all football and basket ball games, all issues of the Maroon, track meets. Misner Players, Dramatic club plays declamatory contest, magician entertainment and the Cloud Smith entertainment. A greater number participated last year including 45 seniors, 33 juniors. 54 sophomores. 38 freshmen. 16 teachers and 53 from the grammar department or a total of 239 active members. A few of these dropped out before the close of the year. After all debts had been paid it was found that they had $82.37 left to start out the new year. At the first of this year there were 156 students and 9 teachers participating, or a total of 165. Of this number 28 were Seniors. 47 Juniors, 23 Sophomores, 35 Freshmen. 9 teachers and 23 from the seventh and eighth grades. At present there are 138 active members. The events staged and the admission charged to non-members are: Three football games --------------------------------------- $1.50 Seven basket ball games ----------------------------------------2.80 Track meet _____________________________________________________ -35 Misner Players---------------------------------------------------- 40 Three Dramatic Club plays -------------------------------------- 105 Three Chrismas plays .............-.............................. -35 Two plays by Albion students ------------------------------------- -35 Two musical programs .............................. -..............70 Declamatory Contest...............-........-.................... -35 Beaver .................-------------------------------------- 1-25 $9.10 This $9.10 worth of entertainment was given to the students for 10c a week or a total of $3.60. The one big feature included in our plan this year is the Beaver. This was not included in the plan last year. It is hoped that in the future every activity of the high school will be included. tH ifumor- Senior SSanqitrt On May 7, the Junior Class with Miss Condell as sponsor entertained the Class of ’31 and faculty members at a delightful “Night in Venice.” At 6:30 o’clock the guests assembled in the reception room which had been converted into a model living room. Donald Armes, the Junior president, led the party into a charming Venetian flower garden. White lattice covered the walls on which red climbing roses and blue wistaria grew in profusion. Moonlight lighting effect was used, and a large crescent moon was just peaking over the garden wall. The guests were seated at foursome tables. The centerpieces were red roses in crystal bud vases. The speakers’ table was cleverly centered by a gondola floating on a crystal lake. The gondola was finished in red and blue, the Senior colors, and festooned with red roses and tulle. Place cards were butterflies asleep on the backs of the chairs. Favors were miniature mandolins which also served as nut cups. The programs were blue crescent moons. The Sophomore girls in Italian peasant costumes served the delicious menu which the mothers of the Junior class members prepared.

Approximately fifty girls and boys turned out for practice at the beginning of the year of whom a large per cent remained.

The All State Award i? a real honor of which any girl might well be proud, and offers a splendid incentive for each girl. The activities in which the class participated this season were baseball, basket ball, volley ball and archery. During the basket ball season the girls entered the free throw contest”. Lucy Stevens was our local winner, her score being thirty-five goals out of fifty shots. This has been a jolly season, which the girls have enjoyed under the sponsorship of Miss Condell. Those who received the second year local awards are: Mary Anderson, Feme Potter, Marcella Hirsch, Edna Brunk, and Odetta Kennedy.

Putting our high school paper in the Advance each week has proved more successful and interesting to everyone. It has enabled more people to read the Marocn because the Advance including the usual news and the Maroon is sold at the same price as before. This way the news is not stale (as we say) when published but is always new. The method we carried out in preceding years is unsatisfactory because the paper was only published once a month. Although it has been much more work under the new plan, the staff has been faithful throughout the year. IH Back row. left to right—Mr. Martin, Irene Shaffer, Alan Wake. Eugene Wheeler.

The club, which was organized in 1929, has given its support and services to the high school for another term. The club has supported the teams faithfully under the leadership of two enthusiastic and inspiring yell leaders, Leo Hall and Frank Keeshan. The Maroon Pepsters were efficiently sponsored by Mr. Martin. One of the many services rendered by the Pepsters was the sponsoring of the (Elir Hramatir Club The St. Edward Dramatic Club under the leadership of Mis Wright has really accomplished something this year. Each member of the club has taken part in two or more plays, and has received much actual experience along the line of dramatics. At the beginning of the year the club took up the study cf a beck called, “Educational Dramatics”, in which they learned much cf the hi tcry and origin of theaters and the different parts and properties cf the stage. The club members also studied the various types of make-up and practiced by making up each other. Two members were given a chance to direct a play in which other members took part. The Dramatic club gave the play “Confessional” at the Little Theatre Tournament at Fremont on April 24th.

Silver Creek At the first call for football material about twenty-four men reported to Coach France. Ten of these were letter men. But a jinx seemed to pick out the Maroons to hang his troubles on, for several of the men who were counted on most received injuries early in the season and were unable to give their services. Besides this, interest was lacking so that only about fifteen men were reporting at the close of the season. For this reason the first team could get no actual scrimmage, a fact which told in the games. The first game of the season was at Greeley on Sept. 19. Because it was an early season game both teams were in crude form. After four quarters of this the Maroons trotted off the field on the long end of a 26-0 score. E5 ra STlt iffootball § a0Ott, (£mtf The next week the Maroons faced a tough assignment when they journeyed to Albion. They were still in preseason form while Albion, with much material to pick from had rounded into a fast team. The Maroons fought a losing battle all the way and lost 26 - 0. Two weeks later Fullerton came to St. Edward and a stiff battle ensued. Neither team had any advantage over the other. Wake gave St. Edward the victory when he intercepted a pass and scored a touchdown. Fullerton gave the St. Edward team and fans heart failure when, late in the game, they got possession of the ball and had advanced to the Maroons’ ten yard line when the final whistle ended the affair. The next game was with Osceola on the latter’s field. On the first play of the game Bennett reeled off 60 yards for a touchdown and added the extra point by a pass to Knudsen. In the second quarter another seven points were added in the same way. The half ended 14-0 in favor of St. Edward. In the second half Osceola opened up a desperate passing attack and came within one point of evening up the score. The next week the Maroons traveled to Genoa. The latter, with wide end runs, caught St. Edward napping and scored four touchdowns with three extra points. The Maroons’ two points came when Knudsen fell on the ball back of their opponents goal line. The game with Cedar Rapids on the home grounds was just a good practice game for the Maroons. In the first half they made three touchdowns and added all the points. In the second half they scored another seven points to run the total up to 28-0. On Armistice day the Maroons battled the Genoa Indians. At first the Indians tried rushing but the Maroons were able to hold them in the pinches. The Indians then took to the air and scored four touchdowns and three of the tries for an extra counter. The Indians had a great advantage in that they had many fresh substitutes to put in during the game while the St. Ed players had to play the iron man stunt and stick through the whole game. The game with Leigh was very hotly contested' although the score would not indicate it. Each team gained about the same number of yards and first downs but the Maroons always lacked the punch to put the ball over when in scoring distance while the Leigh eleven strung their first downs out in serial fashion. The .last game of the season, on Turkey Day, was with Silver Creek. Silver Creek went through the entire season undefeated and until the game with St. Edward had never been scored upon. In the first half the Maroons far outplayed their opponents. Each team scored six points in this period of play. Silver Creek's came on a break in the first quarter while the Maroons marched the ball fifty yards on line plunges to their touchdown. In the second half the element of luck beamed upon Silver Creek three more times to enable them to score three more touchdowns and one added point. Eighteen men lettered this season; among them are two freshmen. Nelson and Saunders. Seniors who will be missed next year are: Knudsen, Anderson, Wilson, Jacobson, Peterson and Greig. jlEU.

They won twelve out of seventeen games. Thy were greatly handicapped by the small floor, which made long shots impossible. However they made up for this by developing marvelous team work and plenty of fight which alone carried them successfully through several games. HI ra E l}v JBa ket 38 all rasmt, (Kont. The Maroons opened the season with Cedar Rapids. The visitors expected a victory but quickly changed their minds when the Maroons opened up a brand of basket ball they could not handle. Silver Creek came next but did not offer enough competition for the Maroons to even work up a sweat. However the locals w'ere in a good mood so they ran up a big score to please the rooters. The game with Meadow Grove was just another workout in the form of a rout. The visitors were able to ring only one field goal while the Marccns shot them from all angles of the floor. The Maroons played their first out of town game when they journeyed to Genoa. St. Edward was unused to the large floor and allowed their opponents to shoot long shots. A lucky basket in the last minute gave Genoa the victory. Newman Grove came with a threat but were unable to weather the barrage of baskets the Maroons rained at the goal and went home on the losers end of a 20-6 score. St. Edward next engaged Fullerton on the latter's floor. The game was fast and furious with the result always in doubt. At half time Fullerton led 10-9 but the Maroons then got busy and overcame this by two points. The game with Albion was the only loss the Maroons suffered on the home floor. The Maroons got a much wanted revenge when they trounced Genoa in the next game. The game was featured by St. Edward’s remarkable defense. Genoa sinking no field goals after the first quarter. The Maroons next journeyed to Newman Grove. The latter expected an easy win on their own floor and led at the intermission 8-5. But St. Edward came back strong the second half and easily overtook them. Fullerton came seeking revenge, and almost got it. But in the final stanza St. Edward overcame a 12-9 lead to take the honors. Th final game was at Albion. The St. Edward fans turned out in a body to see the game. The Maroons wanted to win badly but fate played against them. In the final canto they overcame Albion’s 19-14 lead and led 20-19 until the last minute when a free toss and a lucky long shot gave Albion the game. PLALOUP TOURNAMENT The first game was with Clarks. The Maroons were hitting in real style and were easily victorious. The second game was with Genoa. The Maroons were able to get through their opponents defense but were unable to make the baskets when they got there. Genoa resorted to long shots and made enough of them to be cn the winner’s end of the count. REGIONAL TOURNAMENT The first game was with Leigh. The Maroons started running up the score early and were never threatened. The count at the end of the first half was 15-6. The Maroons next played Genoa. They were after blood in this game and played just too fast to suit the Genoa five. The boys were working fine and taking advantage of all their chances. St. Edward then met the undefeated Schuyler five, which took the tourney. The Maroons were determined to give their opponents a fight but instead gave them heart failure. They proceeded to make a nip and tuck battle of it and after four quarters the count stood at 18-18. In the extra period Schuyler became lucky and shot baskets from everywhere on the floor. The Maroons wanted to win their last game when they met Columbus to decide the third place winner. They were not disappointed because they played a game that was far superior to that of the Columbus aggregation. Six men lettered this year: Knudsen, Nelscn. Bennett. Westmore, Anderson and Peterson. All but three of these will be back next year. These three seniors are Knudsen, Westmore and Anderson. All indications point toward another successful season next year. I .oft to right—Orville Nelson. Norman Peternon. Donald Schafer. Max Knud sen. Lester Schafer. Glenn Wright. Robert Wake (Hemtis This is the second year that tennis has been on the sport roster for St. Edward high. Although it is not as popular as football and basket ball interest in this sport has increased immensely. At the time of this writing the courts were just being put in shape so it has not been definitely decided who will represent St. Edward in the meets. However there is plenty of experienced material reporting so that a winning team should be developed. Knudsen, the only man to letter last year, is back and will defend his conference singles championship title at the Plaloup Conference meet to be held at Clarks on April 25. Besides this meet there will be several dual meets with neighboring schools. Those reporting for tennis are: Max Knudsen, Norman Peterson, Glenn Wright, Orville Nelson, Robert Wake, Donald Schafer and Lester Schafer. Because there are not enough courts for both boys and girls, the girls will not organize a tennis team this year. iP «. Bark row. left to light—Virgil Greig, Donald Schafer. Coach France.

Stanley Matzcn, Alan Wake (Erarl Interest in track has picked up much this year, with the result that about fifteen men are plugging away every night to develop form and speed. Coach France has changed the events of some of the men so that they are now showing up letter and prospects for a winning team are much brighter than they were at the start of the season. The boys will have plenty of chances to test their skill with other schools this year. On Saturday, April 11, several of the boys are to attend the Hastings relays. On April 17, there is to be a dual meet with Albion at Albion. On April 24th St. Edward will journey to Osceola for the Plaloup Conference meet which was won by Osceola last year. The big event will be the Tri-County track meet at Albion on May 8th. This contest was won last year by Neligh; Meadow Grove was second w'hile St. Edward came third. With these meets to think about, the boys are putting forth extra effort in order to round into shape so as to make a good showing. Letter men w’ho are reporting are Bennett, Fonda and Edw'ards.

The sympathetic conductor noticed her wedding ring. “There now,” he said, “don't let it distress you so to leave your husband.” “I-I-I’m not leaving my husband,” blubbered the girl, “I’m going back to him.” Teeny: “Do you like women who chatter, or the other sort?” Cliff A.: “What other sort?” I.
