TRACK Starbuck High School had its first track team last spring. In the meet between the students to determine who should go to the district meet at Herman, Olaf Wollan, Kermit Wollan, Franklin Noyes, Howard Jorgenson, Melvin and Rueben Olmeim and Robert Merrill won these rights. At the district meet only three contestants from Starbuck placed. Olaf received third place in the discus throw, Franklin took third place in the hundred yard dash and Howard took second place in the pole vault. These three participated at the regional tournament in Moorhead but did not place. In the class meet Olaf Wollan received a gold medal for the highest number of points, Kermit Wollan received a silver medal for second high- est and Franklin Noyes received a bronze medal for a third place. Although track is young at Starbuck we know future teams will progress rapidly and be a credit to our school. DECLAMATION Three contestants were chosen to represent each division by a prelim- inary contest held in the high school assembly. They were: Jeanette Ing- varson, Mable Nelson and Geneva Larson in the dramatic division, Ebba Swenson, Clara Aasen and Gerhard Wold in the humorous division, Arthur Barsness, Eldred Nelson and Torben Brenden in the oratorical division. The contest was held in the high school auditorium. Geneva Larson, Ebba Swenson and Torben Brenden were the winners. They went to Ben- son to compete with declaimers of Morris, Benson, Hancock and Cyrus. Here Torben received second place and Geneva and Ebba placed third. JUNIOR'SENIOR BANQUET 1931 The school auditorium represented a fascinating Pirate Ship when the juniors entertained the seniors and the high school faculty at a recep- tion Friday evening, May 15. A canopy of crepe paper streamers skillfully attached to a rostrum gave the appearance of a ship's deck which was entered by a gang plank. Colored lanterns, rustic chairs, fur robes, kegs, sawdust and treasure chests, made the scene a veritable deck. In the banquet hall immediately adjoining the ship's deck the tables were decorated with items symbolic of pirates, such as pirate dolls for place cards and treasure chests for nut cups. Eight junior boys, dressed as pirates, deftly waited on the banqueteers. Ralph Swenson, the toastmaster, as Captain Kidd, cleverly introduced the following numbers on the program: Winds , played by the Junior Class Orchestra, a toast Galleons by Kermit Wollan, a toast Cross- bones by George Auneg a song 'We Are a Reckless Band by the Pirates Bold, a toast The Crew by Supt. Peterson, a toast Gang Plank by Marian Nelson, a song Sailing Along by the Mermaids. As a final num- ber each one drew for his Hidden Treasure, which was found to be a pre- diction of the future of each senior. . I I Much of the success of this banquet is attributed to Miss Foss, Junior class advisor, and to the Minnewaska Ladies Aid, who catered willingly and efficiently to the rovers. The event has ended but the pleasant memory lingers on.
