L_______________________________Jt We dedicate this book to Miss Hanson, who has been our class sponsor for the last two years, and has done a great deal in creating a desire among the members of the class to better themselves in all of their undertakings of later 7)- ROBERT E. SCOTT SL. 1930 O W A N THE SCHOOL AS A SHOCK . ‘k, ' KBE.' ZF the motoring is rough, it is the road, not the car. If young people ot a community do not measure up on conduct or otherwise to as many different standards as there arc people, it could not lie any negative influence in the community, it is the schools. If the youth of the community, bubbling over with life and energy, display more pep than we can recall possessing when we were young, it is the fault of the disciplinary methods of the school. If there is a wave of crime or petty thievery in a community, it is the fault of education. If the scholarship of the young people of a community is low, it cannot lx- a dozen distracting influences that make concentration on school work difficult, it is the fault of the school instruction. If homework is assigned to keep less energetic students up to grade, the schools arc driving the young people too hard and impairing health. If school costs are high, school officials arc extravagant. If costs are low, with a resulting lower standard of education, the ofTcials lack vision. It a superintendent exercises authority within his sphere, he is autocratic. If he docs not, he is held inefficient and lacking the courage of his convictions. It is a strange paradox that people know more about how a school system should lx conducted than any other single project. Being public institutions supported by public moneys, they hold public interest and attention. It is right that they should. A school system bears much the same relation to a community as the only child ot a family does to its near relatives. Many a child has been deprived of its initiative and its opportunity for development because it has been subjected to too much guidance by many interested relatives. The school system is the one child of the community and it should be accorded every opportunity tor growth. The school is concerned with the scholastic accomplishments of the young people. It is concerned with their conduct in and out of school. It is concerned with their physical well-being. It is concerned with their moral standards. It alone cannot lx- expected to overcome all negative influences. It cannot make void hereditary influences. It cannot furnish ability where ability does not exist. It cannot detect all personal characteristics where mass education is necessary. It cannot eliminate evil tendencies strongly embedded through heredity, environment, or unwholesome influences. It can be a party to remedying these situations. It cannot lx- held responsible for hazards but it can reduce their effects to a minimum. It can lx and is a shock absorber for the ills of a community. In order to keep up efficiency in morals, character education, physical well being, health and scholarship, the physical equipment must be adequate. Our elementary schools have sufficient room to do excellent work. The vacant rooms are fast disappearing. Next year there will lx one vacant at Brookside and Fern Mill and none at Lincoln, Lenox, Eliot and Oak Mill. The crowded condition at the High School building is becoming unbearable. It takes at least a year after a building is started before it can lx occupied. The prosjx ct for next year is that with 35 graduating and 115 entering the eighth grade we will have a net gain in the High School building of 80. This means two more teachers at least for the High School building. It means also a condition as crowded as before the seventh grade was taken to Lincoln last Christmas. In order for our school system to maintain its past high position for efficiency a new building must be voted to give us the necessary room for present and future growth. 17] Robert E. Scott, Superintendent. • a FOREWORD STORY shows us that a study of the past triages clearer the way of the future. Feeling this to be true and knowing that a knowledge of what others have done acts as a spur to mental effort and originality by pointing the way to future opportunity, we are leaving this record of our triumphs and failures. In thumbing through its pages may memories of pleasant events and friendly faces make it as dear to your heart as are the memories it recalls. 1930 ECHOWAN Back Row (left lo right)—Flatten.

ECHOWAN STAFF T'HIS year the second edition of the Echowan is presented to the school by the class of 1930. The Echowan is a senior class undertaking made possible by the co-operation of the stall and the advisers. Pearce Chell and Andrew Hobart are to be given credit for the clever work that has been put into the snap-shot pages. Joy Polley as business manager, Robert Pilcher as circulating manager, and Margaret Boostrom as advertising manager, have been responsible for the collection of the money which was needed to publish this book. Mrs. Wegner, Miss Hanson, and Mr. McKay have been our advisers and have done a great deal to help the entire staff with its work. The class extends its thanks to Corrine Johnson, the art editor, and to all those who have worked so diligently in helping us put out our annual and make it a success. We hope that this book will recall many fond and pleasant memories of the times spent together in Park High. m ECHO WA N 1930 Eva Grant Music. Orchestra Be the Best of what ever you are.

Weirdly they shriek and howl Like some strange fiend or ghoul Through the God’s palaces. Sounds as it spirits move. What brave will try to prove It is but fancy? Spirits in trailing robes Hurry about in droves Calling with voices weird To one another. Thunder with deafening roar. Lightning the mountain tore; Stabbed they the black of night, Tore back the mists with might To show a castle. High on a crag it stood, Seemed o’er the world to brood. Mighty the picture. One more great crash of thunder. Like earth was rent asunder. Then fell the quiet. And slowly ’fore our very eyes We see the banquet hall arise At first all filled with misty vapors Sucked up slowly by flickering tapers. Around a table long and narrow Sit spirits wavering in the light. Slowly they grow clear and clearer The Muses arc the first and nearer. Sung in ancient song and story, Nine in number full of glory. Spirits ancients never knew From out the mists still clearer grew Called up by business needs today. One o'er Business has full sway. Capital and labor arc under his control. The Spirit of Healing then unfolds. She takes care of nurses Who keep folks from hearses. Diane next at the festive board. Goddess of Chases and all outdoors. Jupiter, too, the mighty king. Has full charge of political things. Creative Genius is here, too. And mighty things can this spirit do. Venus, goddess of all beauty, Waits to claim her students truly. The Goddess of Justice next we see; She has charge of the jury. And Psyche, goddess of the mind. Waits with look deep and refined. Mercury, spirit of the air. Slowly folds his wings so fair. The Wizard of Light And the Sou! of Sight End our list of jkxts. Why this mistic spirit council? Why this gathering strange and weird? List! the leader now is speaking, ’Tis the Spirit of Success. “We are come, my fellow spirits, At the honored call of youth. In the paths of fame and fortune Ti$ our duty them to guide. We gather now, my friends to a senior class assign In the mighty occupations ’Tis their lot in Life to find. And to give them to the spirit Who must rule their work in life. We will take this class in order. This fine class of twenty-nine And the mighty year of thirty Also comes at this great time.” The Spirit of Big Business Named the following people so “Anna Sundblad, tall and slim, Many a tale in type will spin. Helen Nordin, her dearest friend. Will her days in an office spend. Margaret Smith will keep the books. Genevieve Flatten after files will look. Alvf.ra at her side will Ik To help her with the A’s and B’s. And Elinor as secretary Will be their friend and never weary. Jane M rtin will be her assistant trusty. Bernice will use a telegraph And be the highest on the staff. Robert Pilcher, businesslike. As President of a big concern, And Pearce Ciiell will teach his son The rules good scouts must follow. f 18 1 1930 ECHOWAN Herbert Applequist near will be just to keep them company. Ward Simmons I claim tor real estate— These claims are all I wish to make.” And then he took his seat. The Soul of Light next rose to speak, “Klayton Blodgett alone I want As an optician he shall he taught.” Creative Genius spoke up next; Constructive engineering was his text. “Andrew 1 Iobart fame will gain In mechanical engineering he will be trained. And Kenneth Mii.bert, tall and dark. As a mechanic will take engines apart. Leonard Bjorklund, tall and blonde To constructive engineering will be won. Acre Stiknstra, his assistant true. Will, with zeal, do the work of two. John Burke will never Ik- known to shirk In his Aeronautical Engineering work.” The Wizard of Light spoke quickly next, “|oe Benninghoff I here do claim, In Electrical Engineering to win fame. Dwight Hokbnson, so tall and thin. Will surely with electricity win.” Diana stood up straight and tall, In gym work Margaret Lauer lair Shall build new bodies and old repair. Margaret Boostrom with her too. Shall coo|K-rate, that work to do.” The Goddess of Justice with her scale Chose Joy in Sleuth work to prevail. The Spirit of Healing softly spoke, “Barbara Whitfield I will take And Carolyn Campbell to Ik- her mate. Vance Rorbach will Ik- the doctor The girls he'll hire as trained nurses To care for the sick and the badly wounded.” Venus, in beauty next did rise, “Elizabeth Whalen at my side Shall learn the art of beauty culture.” The Muses next spoke up. “Dorothy King on a clarinet Shall make the Genius of nations fret. Dorothy Wilder, an artist famed, Will paint immortal master pieces. And Ruby Holmes small children teaches Dorothy Lindquist will surely be A journalist oi high degree. Mercury, the winged god. Chose Lawrence McFarland, high to fly Up in clouds death to defy. Morris Findsted, flier too. Will cut new trails across the blue.” Jupiter, king oi them all, Chose only Carroll for government work. Then Psyche, Goddess of the Mind, Chose 11 v .el Ray her work to find In Psychology, study of the mind. The leader rose and asked them all If there were any more to call. Then from the back a spectre rose. Unwanted guest; their spirits froze. “Aye, Spirit of Failure, though I Ik. Still, 1 shall choose all those Who cannot stay within your folds.” Then it faded as it came. And dimmer grew the hall. But as it faded from our sight, A crash, a flash, and cross the sky The lightning seared the words.

The council was also instrumental in giving the high school the opportunity of hearing many educational and interesting speakers. Mr. Race told us about “New Orleans. Mr. Odland, a famous author and speaker, gave us an interesting talk on “Minneapolis Pioneer Life. Dr. Day brought us closer to our national hero, Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Mecklenburg, a very learned man, and speaker, pictured very vividly, “Alaska. “Friendship” was the subject of a beneficial talk, given by Mr. Coomby of the University of Minnesota. The Echo, the school paper, was published by the council. The students were transferred from home rooms to the assembly room by the efforts of the council members.

The purpose in making a printed issue, was for the sole betterment of our sch(K)i paper, and to make it up and coming. It is a vast improvement over the mimeographed paper which lias been produced for so many years. Through a printed paper, a great many cares of our old paper have been lessened, and a burden lifted from our Commercial Department. Although the first issues of the year were hut an experiment, they met with such favor and approval, and kept growing more and more popular with each issue, that this type of school paper will appear again next year. 130] E C H O VV A N 1930 Back Row (left to right)—Rost, ’.

This club, as its name indicates, is made up of students enrolled in the Commercial Department who are planning on entering some phase of the business world. The club meets in Miss Wharton’s room every other Tuesday at which time either a general meeting is held to discuss various problems, or a speaker is present who presents the club with some particular type of work. The club has been very fortunate in procuring a number of excellent speakers. This club plans to resume its present program next fall, and it is hoped that it will prove advantageous to those students who are planning to enter the business world.

All boys who have earned a letter in some athletic sport arc members. There is an enrollment of about twenty boys at present. Mr. Nemec, the adviser, has done a great deal toward the progress of the club. New interest has been instilled among the boys of the lower classes who are eager to become active in all athletics so that they may earn a letter and belong to the Letter Club. The members of the club this year sponsored a sunlight dance which was a big success. Other activities have taken place which have also been successful.

It meets every two weeks with its sponsor, Miss Hanson. The time is divided between business and entertainment. The executive staff appoints a committee of three who make a programme plan which can be developed and carried through for one semester. The girls in charge of each programme plan something informational, a stunt, and last, but not always least, a surprise. At Christmas time every member either redecorated a worn out toy or doll of a younger sister or brother or purchased a new toy. These were brought to the Sunshine Society in order to make some poor children happy. Officers are elected at the beginning of every semester. This gives a greater number of the members an opportunity to hold office and the experience of conducting a business meeting where parliamentary procedure is observed. 134 1 1930 ECHOWAN Back Row (left to right)—Miller.

The first undertaking was the making of favors, place cards, and nut cups arranged in a notebook with other suggestions such as menus for special days throughout the year. There was then a need for posters for school activities and this was accomplished through the efforts of the members. Much assistance was given Miss Smith by the club in making scenery for the operetta. The largest social activity of the year was the luncheon sponsored by the club on December 20. Their guest was Miss Mary Nease. Next year it is planned to work more successfully the notebooks and have complete party suggestions to aid the hostess.

The three sides of the triangle stand for Sportsmanship, Friendship, and Scholarship, while the “E” represents excellency in all three of these attributes. The size of the club has steadily increased since its organization. Initiations have been held twice at the home of Mr. Haynes, and several other parties have taken place. The club sponsored a dance which occurred after a high school basketball game. Two interesting tests on how to choose friends, how to be a friend, and how to improve your personality, were taken by all the members.

PUZZLE CLUB Donn Driver ------ President (First Semester) Ethan Huri ....................President (Second Semester) Franklin Pilcher.......................Secretary-Treasurer Bernice Mellstkom....................................Score peeper Mrs. Larson........................................Adviser THE Puzzle Club was organized February 5, 1929. The original purpose was to solve mathematical puzzles. This year, the club had a second purpose—that of making geometric designs. The club aims to solve at least one puzzle at each meeting. The member who is able to solve the puzzle scores three points. If no one can solve the puzzle, the one who contributes the puzzle presents it to the class giving the correct solution and scores one point. A reward to the one receiving the highest score will be given at the end of the year. Any senior high school student is eligible. Fourteen members have enrolled this year. At the election of officers, Donn Driver and Ethan Hurd tied for president. In order to split the tie, Donn Driver served as president the first semester and Ethan Hurd the second semester—filling the office of vice-president in reverse order. Franklin Pilcher was elected as Secretary-Treasurer and Bernice Mellstrom as score-keeper. A constitution was also adopted. One must be a member of the club in order to understand the emblem which is embossed on the club pins. February 11, the club had a sleighride party to which each member invited a guest. After the ride the club was royally entertained at the home of Marian Hobart. One outstanding feature of the evening long to be remembered, was the solving of puzzles prepared by David Hobart. 138 1 193 0 E C H OWA.N • Rack Row (left to right)—Kinser, Erickson, 'osier, Johnson, Clark, Morion.

STAMP CLUB Ward Simmons - President Pearce Chell.........................Secretary-Treasurer Mr. N. H. McKay..................................Adviser r7“1HIS club was organized for the benefit of the boys interested in stamps. A goodly number attended the first meeting but a fewer number who were really interested in becoming members attended the second meeting. The club, under sponsorship of Mr. N. H. McKay, elected officers as soon as there was a suitable number to constitute a club. The stamp collection fever spread from the high school to Lincoln, where the seventh grade boys organized a club, electing Sidney Jensen president. '1 hey decided to attend the high school meetings every two weeks. The club period being too short to allow time for swapping, trading, buying, or selling stamps, the boys decided to meet Tuesday and Thursday noon in addition to regular meetings. A committee was appointed to inspect albums; this being the only way to prove a collector's interest. If the album was satisfactory the owner became a rightful member. Because of the earnestness of some collectors, large, neat, and valuable collections have been made, ranging in catalogue value from five dollars to three hundred dollars. Ward Simmons, originator of the club, has the largest collection of any member and as the result of over five years collecting, he has a collection of about six thousand mounted stamps. 139] ECHOWAN 1930 Hack Row (left to right)—ITavis R.

Every other Tuesday the club meets during the club period. Betterment of the conditions of the school and themselves are only a few of the topics discussed during the meetings. This year the class has taken trips to the hospital for the insane at Anoka, the institution for Feeble Minded at Faribault, and the State penitentiary at Stillwater. All the members enjoyed these trips and much knowledge was gained from them. To pay for these trips we voted on dues, the small amount of 50c per year. Hi I ECHOWAN 19 3 0 Back Row (left to ripht)—E.

CAMPFIRE GIRLS Helen Anderson Katherine Bowser Ruth Swanson Marjorie Dirks -Mrs. Wegner President Vice President Secretary - Treasurer - Adviser THE Campfire Girls Organization is an outgrowth of the Girls Reserves Club. Because of the limited membership allowed in the Campfire Club, the troop now has twelve members. Honors may be won in eight different fields of work called “crafts.” They consist of the following crafts: home, health, camp, hand, nature, business, citizenship and patriotism, and education. A school letter is to be awarded to each girl who attains a required number of honors or points within a definite time. Each girl is busy working on her honors in order that she may win the much desired letter. Funds for the club were raised by the sales of home-made pics, Eskimo pies, and candy. A party given for the Campfire Chris by their sponsor, Mrs. Wegner, was held at her home on Saturday, March 15, 1930. Long will it be remembered for its games and refreshments. The interest shown by the girls in their Campfire work makes us look forward to an even happier and more successful club next year. 142 1 1930 ECHOWAN Hack Row (left to right)—Lien, I.arson. K.

After thirty hours of study and demonstration and a successful examination the girls received their merit badges at the Minneapolis Court of Awards. In May, an over-night hike, filled with thrilling experiences, was spent at Fridley, Minnesota. The biggest event of the year will be a week at camp.

The Tears and Tatters promise: On my honor I promise to do my best to ma!{c the Pears and Patters Club a success.'' Motto: “To help make life a happy song, To read, or sing, or dance along.” The members have become familiar with parliamentary rules in their business meetings. They have composed two club songs, several yells, and have planned interesting programs. Did you see “Everybody Happy, their Xmas play? Marian Renner was a true enough Santa Claus and Kathryn Mallory as Fairy won everybody’s heart. Last fall a very pretty party was planned and enjoyed by the girls. T heir colors, blue and gold, were especially attractive as used in the dining room. A formal initiation for two new members was carried out amid terrible moans and groans. The sleigh ride ending at Lucille Larson’s proved the happiest time of the year. The day was ideal, crisp, and cold. The roads were like glass. Everyone had a jolly time. 1.9 3 0 ECHOWAN Back Row (left to right)— osier, llrondson, Raihtkt, Thomas, Xelson, Johnson, McCormick. Sf.co.nd Row—Peterson, Fayerstrom, Lea, Mitchell.

We do this by means of imaginary trips, the person or persons taking the trip looks for all the material on the country he can get from the library and by means of pictures and Travel Information, makes the trip more interesting. Our club meets every second Tuesday during the regular club period. Interesting stories and movies about other countries are reported at the club meetings. The present roll of the club is twenty-five. On March 25, 1930, the club had a program at 3:30 p. m. Marion Renner and Betty Peterson of the high sch x l entertained us with readings. Billy Pinney, Clarence Morton, Floyd Whipple, and Alden Vosler played two musical selections, and Russel Kadlec, a solo on the saxophone. The Lincoln Junior High teachers were guests. After the program the club members, guests, and the Lincoln faculty went to the lunch room where ice cream and wafers were served.

The first part of the year was spent in getting organized. Then we set to work making things of interest and doing kind things for others. The club ended its activities for the year by going on a picnic. H7) ECHOWAN 19 3 0 Back Row (left to right (— '. Johnson, ('.lurk, Hanson, Glasgow, II. Jensen, Dahh nisl, I). Johnson.

About fifteen boys raise poultry, five breed rabbits, ten arc in gardening and home beautification. The club attended the National Flower Show in Minneapolis in April. They also took a trip to the Minnetonka Baby Chick Hatchery to study the new methods of incubation of eggs. Plans are being made to continue meetings throughout the summer.

HAPPY HOUR CLUB Gerard King -Woodrow Harper Harold Johanson Esther Larson Miss Krueger - President Irice President Secretary T teasurer Adviser A FTER many delays and interruptions the Happy Hour Club, which was or-Zjl ganized in January, 1929, succeeded in having its first fall meeting in November with a membership of twenty-five pupils. Officers were elected and work for the year mapped out to some extent. Pledge: “I wish to create happiness, therefore, 1 shall try to do something worth while. 1 wish to be happy, therefore, I shall always aim to do the right thing. Hoping to live up to our pledge, we got busy. A few days before Christmas the results of our pleasant tasks appeared in the form of pretty dolls, aeroplanes, scrapbooks, and puzzles to gladden the hearts of lonely children. A Christmas tree, nicely decorated, appeared in Miss Krueger’s room to awaken a happy Yule tide spirit. Our meetings were conducted in business like manner. Several were of a social nature, some members providing the entertainment, others preparing the goodies. As a means of earning money, we had cake and pic and Eskimo pie sales. 149] ECHOWAN 19 3 0 Standing (left to right)—Reilley, Olson, Holasek, A. Hobart, Mr. Roder, Simmons, Clark, M.

BAND Dorothy King Ralph Woodfill Mr. Roder President Secretary-Treasurer Director THE high school band has functioned at all the main events of the school. Last year they took part in the State Music Contest and represented the school very honorably. The purpose of the organization is to sponsor the seven pearls of music: Citizenship, Health, Character, Skill, Vocational Efficiency, Love of Home, and Improvement of Leisure Time. The new uniforms are one of the added features of the band this year. The organization has maintained a continual growth since last spring. The membership having grown from eleven to thirty members. After weeks of hard work, they have improved greatly. During this coming summer they will give concerts at the Park. As a few of the present members arc to be graduated, we hope to have many new members join the band in the fall. May many other students realize the general cultural education derived from this club and make the most of the hours spent for practice; also the dollars spent for lessons.

T he violins are played by Marjorie Christianson, Vivian Carlslrom,. Pauline Rude, Auke Stienstra, and K. lay ton Blodgett. The viola is played by Betty jane Gray, while the cello and bass are played by Betty Berdan and Deborah Wing. In the brass section Herbert Brown and Dorothy King are our trumpet players, Lloyd Wessling performs very well on the slide trombone, Vance Rorhach and Norman Clark, saxophones. Our wood wind section is small, the two clarinets being played by James Henderson and David Hobart. Jack Bolduc furnishes plenty of rhythm with his snare and bass drums. Instrument work has been started in the grade schools this year and will be continued next year. This will give us some more material and we hope to increase the membership in the high school orchestra next fall. f 51 ) ECHOWAN 1930 SENIOR HIGH BOYS’GLEE GEUB Back Row (left to right)—Blymyer, Fintlad.

GLEE CLUBS THE Cilcc Clubs were re-organized in September, 1929, under the direction of Miss Grant. The boys and girls met separately and functioned as two clubs. After voices were tested, 48 girls and about 60 boys, including 26 senior high students and 34 junior high, were accepted. Work was immediately begun on songs, many of them seasonal. After Christmas, the junior high boys’ glee club disbanded because the seventh graders were moved to Lincoln. During the months of February, March and April, the boys and girls worked together learning the songs and dances for the operetta. Under Miss Grant’s direction and with the help of Mrs. Moffat, Miss Smith, Miss Nease, and Miss Miller, three successful } erformanccs were given on April 10 and 11. 153] « a At night tlie school is dark and dim; 1 lie rooms are great resounding caverns A ghostly silence fills tlie empty lialls; Strange spirits pass along tlie walls, Spirits of failures come again To ask spirit teacliers for anotlicr chance, A cl lance to do tliat weighty sum, A cliance to make tliat mark upscore, A cliance to lie again so young.

'This game was the most thrilling one for some time and will not soon he forgotten. It certainly showed what school and community loyalty will do to help a team win. A large crowd attended this game and with the help of the cheering of the rooters, the boys won hv a score of 19-0. The three beautiful touchdowns were made with only a few minutes left to play. As hard luck is always bound to come the boys lost several games. Over-confidence was the cause for a few of the defeats. The Park hoys put up a great fight throughout the season and made the opponents feel that St. Louis Park was not to be easily defeated. The game with U High was perhaps the most evenly matched game of the season. Although the Park boys had the ball in U High’s territory practically all of the time, the U High boys won by a score of 2-0. Both teams arc to be given credit for a hard fight. Mr. Nemec, the coach, was determined to put out a winning team. The Excelsior game showed such a great improvement over the games of the first part ol the season that if the improvement continues next year, as it has this, the boys will have a fine chance for the 1930 championship. 15S1 E C H O W A N 19 3 0 I 56 | 1930 ECHOWAN Back Row (left to right)—TriJen, Bmnin hof}, Williams, Applequitt, l 'ooi fitl.

BASKETBALL rHH season of 1929-1930 has come to an end with a record of victories and defeats which have been gained with a line display of sportsmanship. The wins were taken from Dccphaven, Wayzata, Hopkins, and Bloomington. The games lost were to Columbia Heights (the District and Regional Champions), Excelsior, University High, Mound, and Waconia. The most interesting and valuable part of the season was the development of the team. The team began its games this year severely handicapped because of size. Three regulars of last year’s team, Len Bjorklund, Joe Benningholf, and Tom Whalen, returned to the squad. The other regulars of last year were graduated last June. It was practically a “green team that started the year. The regulars of this year are Tom Whalen, Paul Sorenson, George Williams, Len Bjorklund (captain), Carroll Sorenson, Joe Benningholf, Ralph Woodfill, Herbert Applequist. The team improved consistently throughout the school year, especially in team play. The finest exhibition of team work was in the game with Hopkins, one week before the District Tournament. The game was one of the hardest fought games ever played in the St. Louis Park Auditorium; they played two over time periods which resulted in a glorious victory for the Orange and Black. The sub-district tournament paired Bloomington against the Parks which resulted in an easy victory for the Parks. In the district tournament, Deephavcn showed their usual tournament “spunk but were defeated by the Parks. Wayzata defeated “our boys in a listless game in the semi-finals. Wayzata seemed to be invincible that night, and the next day in the finals they gave Columbia Heights a hard game. Len Bjorklund placed as guard on the All-District team. The Parks arc all very proud of him and the wonderful sportmanship which characterized all his playing, and they also appreciate his good work as captain of the team.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY “PIGS” JT would be scarcely fitting or projKr if wc didn’t take the opportunity in the “Echo-wan to put in a few remarks about the Senior Class Play “Pigs. Here’s what happened: Klayton Blodgett was so engrossed with his pigs, that for a time he forgot entirely about his delightful little helper and fellow conspirator. Margaret Lauer. Vance Rorbach’s laziness acted as an intoxicant to the audience, as a feeling of carcfrcencss could be noticed throughout the crowd. As an old sarcastic, irritable grandma, Hazel Ray portrayed a picture true to life. Leonard Bjorklund’s sudden inspiration to write poetry came as a big surprise to everyone. (Including himself.) Barbara Whitfield and Andrew Hobart were a typical type of a loving husband and wife. Dorothy Wilder’s love scene in the pig pen would indeed be a thrilling experience for any girl. Nobody recognized Joseph BcnninghofT with his whiskers, but as a veterinary, he surely could cure pigs when it came right down to it.

JUNIOR CLASS PLAY “BAB” SERHYL Davis as “Hah took her part exceedingly well. She was a young girl who had become tired of the childish way everyone treated her and decided to make them realize that she had grown up. She proceeded to cause much excitement among the Archibald family by her flirtations with Miss Leila Archibald’s gentleman friend, the dignified Mr. Bercsford, which part was played by Ralph Wood fill. Corrinc Johnson, playing the part of Miss Leila Archibald, Bab’s older sister, portrayed the haughty sister very well. Billy Blymyer, as Carter Brooks, who was in love with Bab, gave a great exhibition of how a true lover should act. Robert Wilcox, playing the part of Guy Grosvener, a friend of Carter Brooks, showed how a real friend comes to the rescue of his pal. John Keeley and Charlotte Rees, as Mr. and Mrs. Archibald, look their parts very well. Gretchcn McCready as Jane, Bab’s best friend, and Monroe Armour as Eddie Perkins, were the comedians. They kept the audience in an uproar. With a servant anti butler like Genevieve Fautsch and Thomas Whalen we are sure that households would have less servant problems. Everything turned out all right when Bab helped Miss Leila and Mr. Bercsford to elope and then she and Carter Brooks were married and everyone was happy.

OPERETTA “TULIP TIME” THE operetta, “Tulip Time, was presented April 10 and II under the direction of Miss Eva Grant, assisted by Mrs. MofTat. The members of the cast were: Irma Simmons, Norman Clark, Earlcne Ainsworth, Norman Olson, Arlene Hendrickson, Klay-ton Blodgett, Vance Rorbach and Lloyd Wessling. The remaining members of the glee club formed the different choruses. A party of botany students under Professor McSpindle go to I lolland to study tulips. Ned and Dick, Americans, fall in love with Christina and Katinka, while McSpindle discovers Aunt Anna, a charming woman. Ned learns that Christina is worried about her sick mother. She needs money and considers selling for a small sum, the valuable stocks her father left. McSpindle allows the two boys no time to make love to Christina and Katinka, so when they find there has been a tulip thief about, they [xrsuade the Professor to dress to fit the description of the thief. Consequently, he is arrested and imprisoned by the Burgomaster. Van Oostcr is exposed by Ned, the real thief is caught, McSpindle is released by Aunt Anna, and the announcements of three engagements are made. The curtain drops over prospects of three marrying jobs for the Burgomaster who says, “Sure, business is business! Ain’t it? But remember it costs double on holidays!
