Members of that class were: Dorothy Amundson, Earl Anondson, Viv- ian Aslagson, Warren Baukol, Doris Berg, El- dora Berg, Bernice Berge, Arlane Brandvold, Helen Brenden, Mildred Christenson, Clarmont Dahlseng, Clarice Elie, Edna Engen, Ellen Erickson, Arthur Finstad, Norman Gorder, Marvin Hagen, Luverne Hanson, Gerhard Hol- en, Sylvia Kamrud, Jeannette Kjera, Lester Lorvig, John Merrill, Brenten Myking, John Nelson, Ruth Nelson, Adeline Nodland, Bernice Nordaune, Howard Noyes, Lucille Overson, Lila Pederson, Laura Peterson, Robert Peterson, Al- Verna Thompson, Sylvia Tharaldson, Andrew Thorstad, Otto Voigt, Bertha Wollan, and Da- vid Wollan. The first class meeting was held and Brenten Myking was elected president: Bernice Berge, vice presidentg Adeline Nod- land, secretaryg Lila Pederson, treasurer. Miss Lilian Charlesworth was chosen as class advis- or. We survived initiation Cas well as could be expectedl, and to show our gratitude we tend- ered the sophomores with a return party. The candidate from our class, Dorothy Amundson, was crowned Queen of the High School Carni- val for the year 1934-1935. The girl's basket- ball team won the championship in the girl's division and thus ended our first year in Star- buck High. After three months vacation we again as- cended the stairs of the Starbuck High School, but this time, as sophomores. This year, Lor- raine Aaberg, Dorothy Evans, Gladys Gorder, Emmett Herbst, and Raymond Pederson joined our ranks, but nevertheless our numbers were lessened when Earl Anondson, Eldora Berg, Gerhard Holen, Lester Lorvig, Ruth Nelson, Howard Noyes, Lucille Overson, Laura Peter- son, and Andrew Thorstad did not return. At our first class meeting Clarice Elie was elected presidentg John Merrill, vice president, Helen Brenden, secretaryg and David Wollan, treasur- er. Mr. F. V. Nygaard, by a unanimous vote of the class, was chosen as our class advisor. This year the sophomore class had the distinction of having two of their fellow members on the bas- ketball team-Brenten Myking playing regular forward and John Merrill regular center. This year, as initiation had been forbidden by the school board, we gave the oncoming freshmen a party. After nine months of strenuous work our sophomore year ended, which proved very successful under the genial leadership of Mr. Nygaard. Finally we entered our third year in Star- buck High School. This year our ranks were depleted when Otto Voigt, Luverne Hanson, Bertha Wollan, and David Wollan did not re- turn and Robert Peterson left us before the year was over but Casper Ronnie joined our ranks. 'At our first class meeting the follow- ing .officers were elected: Brenten Myking, president, Adeline Nodland, vice president: Gladys Gorder, secretary, and John Merrill, treasurer. Miss Schendel was chosen as our class advisor. On Dec. 3 members of our class gave the play, The Poor Rich, under the able direction of Mr. John Ronhovde, which proved a success in every way. On May 28, we gave the customary Junior-Senior banquet, carried out in Dutch style. Helen Brenden was crown- ed as Carnival Queen for the year 1936-1937. The girl's basketball team was again victorious in carrying off the championship. With great pride we entered upon our fourth and final year in S. H. S. Our numbers were neither depleted nor increased as John Nelson failed to return and Paul Boening joined us. At the beginning of the year we elected the fol- lowing officers: president, Brenten Mykingg vice president, Helen Brenden, secretary, Clar- ic Elieg treasurer, Lorraine Aaberg, Supt. W. A. Peterson was chosen as class advisor. In the annual class basketball tournament, both the boy's and girl's teams won first in their re- spective division. Lila Pederson won honors in the humorous division in declamation. Lila received first in the sub-district contest and se- cond in the district contest. The Senior class didn't know that they had such a great humor- ist among them. Clarice Elie was crowned Queen of the carnival for the year 1937-1938, this being the third year a member of our class has received this noteworthy prize. The class play Hearts and Hats , was very well given under the able leadership of Miss Lilian Charlesworth. In May, we were enter- tained at a banquet given by the Junior Class. As we enter the school of life, though our tasks may be different from those which we did in High School, we shall never forget the good times we had at Starbuck High. 1938 -THE l' Senior Class Will We, the Senior Class of 1938 of the Starbuck High School, being of noble mind and unsur- passed memory, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament. To the faculty-our good behavior, our in- dustrious habits and our original ideas. To the Juniors-our titles of Seniors and all our privileges. To the Sophomores-our personal character- istics and trust they will not misuse them. To the Freshmen-our brains and warning to be careful of their actions while in school. To Boyd Opheim-Brenten Myking wills his seat on A. T. Sanvik's doorstep. He also wills his dollar and a quarter dancing shoes to Wally Hoium. John Merrill wills his bedroom slippers to Vernon Larson. fWe thought John was wear- ing the boxes they came in the first couple of days.D Lorraine Aaberg wills her favorite booth in all cafes to Bertha Wollan. Norman Gorder wills his admiration of'teach- ers to the freshmen. Vivian Aslagson wills her flashing smile to anyone who can make use of it. Adeline Nodland wills her love for Basket Ball to John Anderson. Art Finstad wills his cunning wit to Ort- mand Disrud. Ray Pederson wills his Crosby voice and lungs to some bashful freshman boy on a moonlight night. Mildred Christenson wills her maiden name to any nice boy that wants it-of course she comes with it. Bernice Berge wills her promptness for all things to Ralph Skinner. Clarmont Dahlseng wills his pull with the girls to Henry Nodland Jr. Warren Baukol wills his stature to Aldred Opheim. Clarice Elie wills her pass to the Morris Armory to Ernie Hoium. Marvin Hagen-studiousness and good marks to his kid brother, Norman. Sylvia Tharaldson--not willing anything. She's keeping it all to herself. Doris Berg--her seat in the Merchants Hotel at Morris to Mr. Lunstad. Gladys Gorder-her gracefulness to Archie Otteson. Lila Pederson--her seriousness and aptitude for studying to Kermit Hanson. She remarked, I certainly hope he makes use of it. I'd like to see Kermit make good. HIPPEWAN- Pgge 5 Sylvia Kamrud-her knowledge of mathema- tics to Robert Ronnie. Q Dorothy Amundson-her blush to Alvin Branch. Emmett Herbst-his eye for shooting tin cans and making them jump into the air at 80 paces on sunny Friday afternoons to David Wollan. Paul Boening wills his deep voice to Lilian Stadsvold and Pearl Eidberg. Dorothy Evans-her pull with the Minne- apolis boys to Dellora Hidem. Edna Engen and Ellen Erickson-neither are willing anything and they won't give us a rea- son. Jeannette Kjera-her English XII and Social Science books to Prof. Peterson. AlVerna Thompson-her Senior dignity and any wads of Dentyne gum on the bottom of her assembly seat to Betty Evenson. Bernice Nordaune-her knack for getting flustered in class and her silent laugh to Mil- dred Ronnie. Casper Ronnie-his love for long book re- ports in English class to Ralph Norland. Helen Brenden leaves to Archie Otteson her lovely French voice that he may conquer the heart of some poor little bashful girl-Archie always has been so bashful. Signed-Recording Lawyer, Emmett Herbst v Class Prophecy Living in seclusion as we do in our little old cottage it seems strange that we Should find out so much about all the members of the class of 1938. On June 2, 1955, the anniversary ot our graduation from high school, our curiosity that had been growing all these years, became a determination to find out where all of them really were. From that time it seemed that Fate had decided to satisfy our curiosity. Of course we alreadfy knew the whereabouts of quite a few of our classmates. Ellen Erickson is the only one who returned to S. H. S. She is an efficient teacher in the Science Department of our Alma Mater, which now has an enrollment of 1,101. Dorothy Amundson has realized her musical ambitions. She is a talented pianist and solo- ist. We often hear her broadcasts over our radio. Our friends, Sylvia Kamrud and Jeannette Kjera, are editors of the famous column, Wierd Whispers. We greatly enjoy reading these original ghost stories. C Continued on Page 61 Page 6 -'PHE CHIPPEWAN- 1 9 3 R Prophecy Continued Norman Gorder with his long stride has put the Texas Ranger in the shade by his croonings in Cyrus, Minnesota. Helen Brenden is the wife of a noted sur- geon in Wheaton, Minnesota. Nice going, Helen! Occasionally we receive a letter with a Nor- wegian stamp. Adeline Nodland never returned from her trip. She found romance in the Land of the Midnight Sun. Edna Engen is also well-known. She is cap- tain of the only Women's Globe Trotters bas- ketball team. We all remember what a swell guard Edna was on our class team. However, information concerning our re- maining classmates had not yet reached us. Nevertheless, newspapers are truly wonderful, for they brought us reports of the activities of many of our friends. Vivian Aslagson won the Women's 100-yard dash at the National Olympics last year. She left behind her only a cloud of dust when im- mediately before the race she was informed that an L. C. Smith typewriter was at the end of the stretch. Warren Baukol is a well-to-do farmer in North Dakota. He has found a successful remedy for sheep scabies and hog cholera. AlVerna Thompson and Doris Berg are the world's champion hitch-hikers. They are the only persons who have hitch-hiked around the world without getting their feet wet. There are often advertisements in the paper illustrating expensive silk hose, hand-made by Gladys Gorder. We hear that her mother in- sisted that she devote herself to this, saying that, perhaps it would make her truly appreci- ate silk stockings. There was a long column one day in the so- ciety news concerning the debut of the titian- haired daughter of one of the socially elite of New York City. The column stated that she was the daughter of none other than Mrs. Per- cival Van Swank Knee Bernice Nordaunel. Ber- nice is the wife of a wealthy broker. Arthur Finstad has entered the political world. He tours the country making speeches for the candidate who seems to be losing, but who always wins in the end. Lorraine Aaberg and Clarice Elie have in- vented a new type of dancing shoe. It's popu- larity is due to the fact that it keeps you float- ing and you can come down to earth when and if you want to. One day under the most unusual circum- stances one of Tabby-cat's youngest died of heart failure and the rest of our felines were terrified. An airplane landed in a field nearby our cabin and to our surprise the pilot was Em- mett Herbst. He has become famous along the line of aviation. Emmett knew the whereabouts of two of our classmates. John Merrill is a jeweler. He chose this profession because ever since his watch flew apart in American History class, he has been determined to find out what made it tick. We were astonished to learn that Brenten Mv- king has become a quiet and serious man. He is burdened with a large family and is often heard to remark, Yep, it's us poor taxpayers that have to fill the gaps. Raymond Pederson has reached his goal and has replaced Bing Crosby who passed on. We saw Raymond in the musical production, Dime Dates, playing opposite another of our class- mates, Dorothy Evans. She also accompanies him in his broadcasts on her slide trombone. One night this summer we attended a night club and heard a famous hot-cha orchestra un- der the direction of Casper Ronnei. His inter- pretations are truly expressive. Sylvia Tharald- son is a featured dancer with his orchestra. They deny being that way about each other, but there are authentic rumors. We were not surprised one day when we heard a knock at our door, but we were sur- prised when we saw Marvin Hagen standing outside. Marvin, through the use of the pro- duct which he was selling, has become a mus- cular giant-6 feet, 8 inches tall. His product is a device which seizes the victim by the legs and then in turn by the head and stretches him to the desired length. From Marvin we gained information concern- ing the rest of our class. Clarmont Dahlseng, it seems, because of his speed of action, has be- come a skilled bull fighter in the Yucatan re- gion in Mexico. One of the enthusiastic rooters in the bleachers is his wife, Mildred Christen- son. Paul Boening has joined the Navy to see the world. We wonder if Paul will come back to greet some girl upon the village green, and if the lucky girl will be in Starbuck. Lila Pederson and Bernice Berge, as you have probably guessed by this time, are happi- ly content in their old-maid cottage by Lake Minnewaska. People often call us the pixil- lated spinsters . As yet we haven't found out what Upixillated means, but we hope there's no offense meant. 1938 Senior Class of LORRAIN E AABERG l don't care how tall I be All the world looks up to me.

Under the able direction of Mr. R. S. Forde the students of this group have had the opportunity to study some of the finest choral music and to become familiar with many great composers. The chorus has met once a week for rehearsals. This group has appeared on various programs throughout the school year and has helped make these events enjoy- able. While we are enjoying the results of their musical training and talent, those individuals who are participating are learning to appreciate music, and to provide themselves with an in- valuable source of entertainment and pleasure. The chorus received an A rating at the dis- trict contest. Vllll' 14 -'PHE l'llll I'EVVAN-- l El ZZ x GIRLS' GLEE CLUB i Front Row-llvlvii l.orVip.:'. Esther Berg, Martha lizirson, Dorothy Evans CR.

This or- ganization has appeared on several outside pro- grams as well as being a prominent home talent feature in the various school entertainments. The group attributes its success to its able di- recor, R. S. Forde, under Whom the group has practiced very conscientiously every Tuesday. The Glee Club was richly rewarded for its ef- forts when it was given an A rating at the District Music Contest at Glenwood. Members of the Glee Club went to Minneapolis for the State Music Contest and received a B rating. At the State Contest 25 schools were entered in our division and only three schools received A ratings, so Starbuck feels justly proud of its accomplishment. 1 fl il S -'PHE l'lllPI'l'lWVAN-' I-up-,. 15 SCHOOL BA D Q First Row--Paul Johnshoy, llenry Nodland, Carsten tlorder, Herbert Nordstrom, Gladys tlorder, Helen Brenden, Randolph Sanvilc, Clifford Shippey, Walter Nelson, Ver- nal l.:indm:1rk: Betty Mae Forde.

This year the school has purchas- ed many instruments which have improved the instrumentation of the band a great deal. The band played a number of excellent selec- tions at the scho0l's Christmas concert and at the Spring Music Concert. This year the band participated in the District Music Contest at Glenwood and received a B rating for their rendition of the selection 'The Heavens Are Telling by Haydn. This gave them second place in their division. We are very proud of this band, which has improved considerably during the last year un- der the able direction of Mr. R. S. Forde and we look forward to an even finer organization next year. l'ill-1 Hi -'lllll-I 1'llIl'I'I4lX5'.lN- 1 zu : s BASKEBALL H937-1938 Front Row-tt'oas-li lf.

Another year whizzed by, and Coach Nygaard issued his second call for basketeers. Respond- ing to this call were 30 boys, eager for a chance to show their real blood. Of these three lettermen returned, namely, Brenten Myking, Andrew Thorstad and John Merrill, to carry the greater part of the bur- den for building a winning team. After several weeks of constant practice, Coach Nygaard as- signed berths to Archie Otteson, Brenten My- king, John Merrill, Vernon Larson and Boyd Opheim for pulling strings with Osakis, who invaded our domain, eager for revenge of last year's defeat. The two teams lined up for the tip-off, then the shrill of the referee's whistle and basketball season was in full swing. A close hard-fought battle followed, which led up a thrilling climax. We were leading by the nar- row margin of one point with about five se- conds to play and to our advantage, we had possession of the ball. A bum pass gave our op- ponents the edge with one second remaining and they scored. The ball was in the air when the gun went off, taking all the spoils for which we were craving. They gave us our first lesson and most necessary lesson of the season: need of cooperation. The team showed that it had all the necessary elements for building a winning team. We were downed by Glenwood in our next game, 20 to 26, but came back to whip Morris for our first win of the season, Ill to 19. ln :1 fast, hard-fought engagement with Benson, we were defeated for the second time by a margin of one point. We lead our opponents at the half by a two point margin and at the end ot' the third quarter by a five point margin, but we were shoved out of the picture in the last, few moments of play by a score of 19 to 20. We went through the same nerve strain when we played Wheaton, there, and were defeated 21 to 22, completing our pre-Christmas schedule. ll El Il X ,THE Q' On December 29, we played the Alumni, com- posed of veterans of the last three year's grad- uates, in a more real basketball match than ever. After 28 minutes of play, the high school emerged victors, making the wins and loses, five all. When the new year rolled around, we began to chalk up the victories for ourselves. Chokio fell as our first victim, by a score of 35 to 22. Next Hancock bowed in one of the cleanest games ever played between the two schools. Wheaton came here for a return meet, confi- dent of victory because of their wonderful re- cord compared to ours. Victory was our cue, and we rolled over them by a comfortable mar- gin of fourteen points. Herman and Alberta were the next ones on the list to be put away, but these victories were spoiled when Herman upset us on their home floor. Chokio, Hancock, Alberta, and Elbow Lake were wins, and Ben- son took us on their floor. In the middle of the third quarter of the Benson game, all the reg- ulars had committed three fouls except Otteson, making it difficult to play the regular style of ball. The last game of the season with Glen- wood was being looked forward to by everyone with the hope of victory. The gym was packed to capacity and the crowd was satisfied to ex- pectations. Glenwood led us 17 to 18 at the half but we took the upper hand in the second half and walked away with the bacon by giving Glenwood the worst defeat ever been given to them by the S. H. S. Hancock put us out of the picture in tlze first game of the sub-district tourna- ment in an exciting, overtime combat. In the first quarter we outscored them 7 to 3, but lost that lead in the third quarter of two points and the fourth proved to be a thriller. We were trailing by three points with but 20 seconds to go. Myking sank a gift shot and Merrill a long one which was still in the air when the gun went off. An overtime period resulted, but old lady luck seemed to be against us for we re- ceived shot after shot and missed, so Hancock look advantage of this to receive the right of further play in the tournaments. Benson should- ered the sub-district honors but was defeated by Breckenridge in the district. The team felt themselves going into a slump because of the lack of routine instruction dur- ing Mr. Nygaard's illness, which kept him away from directing the team for almost a month in the middle of the season. Mr. Lunstad super- vised practice during this critical period, but he was handicapped by not knowing how Mr. Ny- gaard carried on his practices. The regulars won 11 out of 18 games for a sef1son's percentage of .611. The B team Won 10 out of 17 games for a season's percentage of .588. HIPPEWAN.. Page 17 The regulars lost four games by a one point margin. These were Benson twice, Wheaton and Osakis. Other defeats were Clara City, Glenwood and Herman. .The B team lost to Glenwood twice, tied with Morris, lost one game to Benson, one to Wheaton, one to Villard, one to Herman, one to Elbow Lake. The regulars scored a total of 486 points for the season, excluding the alumni game and the tournament. This is an average of 27 points per game. The opponents scored a total of 403 points, for an average of 22 points per game. The B team scored a total of 320 points or an average of 18 points per game. The oppon- ents scored a total of 278 points or an average of 16 points per game. We played 10 home games and 8 out-of-town games this season. The receipts at practically all these games were very gratifying. Elbow Lake and Morris were added to our schedule this year and Hoffman was dropped. Clara City, the team which is coached by Ovid Smedstad, gave us another defeat not included in the regular schedule. This was a fast game ending in a overtime period. The final score was 32-30. It hardly seems possible that the senior players will never carry on again for the Star- buck High School and their alma mater. It is a very difficult task to check in one's suit for the last time, never to have the chance to don it again. So to all those who still have the chance to wear a suit, don't pass it up for petty griev- ancesg and use the privilege the best way you know how. To future basketball we wish the best of luck!

Glenwood here BOYS' CLASS TOURNAMENTS Having been defeated the three previous years in the tournaments, we the seniors took it upon ourselves to turn the tables on our fellow class teams. In the first game against a small but deter- mined Sophomore team we emerged victorious. The next game was to be played with the Juni- ors who had defeated the Freshmen the night before fdespite the fact that the Freshmen felt assured of the tournamentj By means of a petition the losers of the first two games demanded that the two games be forfeited. A general discussion among the mem- bers of the teams gave much heat and little light, so an arbitration committtee consisting of two representatives from each class, coaches, and class advisors met to settle the differences between the classes. At this meeting the teams were evened up by letting only those who had seen little action, if any, during the season and previous seasons, play. The next week we again defeated the Sopho- mores and met the Freshmen fwho finally de- feated the Juniorsl the next evening. This game proved very interesting and each class received splendid support from their remaining classmates. We finally came through with a victory and the championship by downing the Freshmen 32 to 28. GIRLS' BASKETBALL Girls' Basketball has been organized to pro- mote an interest in athletics among the high school girls. In the year of 1934 and 1935, we, as Fresh- men, enthusiastically joined the girls' basket- ball team. We practiced twice a week under the able supervision of Miss Olson fMrs. Irving Helgesonl, our Physical Education teacher. In our inter-class tournament, we surprised nearly everyone by beating both the Senior and Jun- ior teams in hard-fought battles and by win- ning the tournament. In the Sophomore year we hoped to make as good a showing as in our Freshmen year, but fate was against us for even though we defeat- ed the Freshmen team, we lost to the Seniors in a close-scoring game. This was a great dis- appointment to our team, but we had to be sat- isfied with second place in the tournament. During the year 1936 and 1937, we practiced two nights a week at four o'clock under a new Physical Education teacher, Miss Mae Schendel, who proved to be of great help in our basketball practices. Our defeat of the previous year had not made us lose all hope of winning the inter- class tournament. We practiced every chance we could and made a resolution to win. Our ef- forts Were rewarded, for we triumphed over the Sophomore and Senior teams by winning championship of 1936-1937. Our last year of high school was at hand, which also meant the last year of basketball playing for our team. We had won the inter- class tourney twice and this was our last chance. Could we win again? Yes, we must! And we all decided to play our best. When the time for the tournament arrived, we were quite ex- cited, but we kept calmg and by really bearing down, we conquered the Freshmen and Sopho- more teams and carried off the 1937-1938 championship. This victory completed a very successful basketball career for our team, for we had received second place one year and won the championship three years. Our high school basketball playing is now over, but we will always remember the many pleasant times we had with our worthy oppon- ents and classmates. l 9 25 N -'l'lllC l'HIl'l'l'IXYAN- l':i:.Le lf' v. . . . ,.-. . liltllll lion-l.estt-1 l,0lXlg',, Martin llap:,en, James l'.l'lt'liSUll, Halter lNelson, Lester Szlnvik, Arvid Sylvester: Arden lirenden, Gordon XYiltse.

Friday, May May Cyrus at Starbuck ccoc, .,.,., W ednesday, May 25 24 27 Baseball practice was begun the first week of May under the direction of Coach Harris En- gebretson. Very cold weather and rain put the damper on regular practice, so it was necessary to sneak in a practice now and then. Due to the irregularity of practice the team was not able to be up to par the first part of the season. Shortly after official practice was begun those out for baseball met to elect their cap- tain. Brenton Myking was elected. The first game of the season with Wheaton ow Friday, May 6 was postponed a day due to tain. On Saturday, May 7 on a cold, bleak day Conch Engebretson took his team to Wheaton. There were many hits and errors on both sides. We were in putrid form that day and fell victim by the score, ll-3. The following Monday, May 9, We journeyed to Brooten. The first three innings found both teams tied, but later Brooten drew away and at the final inning the score stood, 9-3 with Star- buck on the smaller margin. Un May ll we went to Hancock. With grim memories of a heartbreaking defeat by Han- cock in the sub-district basketball tournament we aimed to reverse the story in baseball. Our first victory really was a victory. In the last of the seventh Hancock had as yet failed to count, but in that inning they broke loose with 2 points. Final score 11-2, Starbuck. On May 17, on a cold, drizzling afternoon we engaged Cyrus in a game on the latter's dia- mond. It proved to be a slugger's battle. Four triples and three home runs took the spotlight in hitting. The game was close from start to finish. We led the scoring in the last edition of the final inning, but free trips to the initial bag and errors on our behalf made it possible for Cyrus to emerge the victors, by the slim mar- gin, 13-12. This concludes all the games played thus far. The remainder of the games will not be publish- ed as the annual goes to press at this date. We have four games left, return games with Wheaton, Brooten, Hancock, and Cyrus. We al- so have reasons to believe that the second half tgie season will be more successful than the ll'S . Those out for baseball include the following: Marvin Hagen is the student manager, and Er- nest Hioum is the assistant manager. Pitchers Brenten Myking tcaptaini, Archie Otteson, Norman Hageng catchers, Boyd Opheim, Wal- ter Nelsong Infield, Vernon Larson, Clarmont Dahlseng, Orville Dahlseng, Henry Nodlandg outfield, Marvin Hagen, Lester Lorvig, John Anderson, Arden Brenden, Earl Person, Syd- ney Aslagson, James Erickson, Lester Sanvik, Perry Berg, Arvid Sylvester, Wally Houim and Eldred Opheim. Since the above article was written, two games have been played. One with Brooten, Starbuck emerging as victors by a score of 8 to 43 the other played with Cyrus, Starbuck won by a score of 6 to 4. The game with Han- cock was forfeited so the bucks have another game to add to their victory column. pil?-I0 20 -THE l'Hll'l'l Vl VY- 1 U Il N Senior Class Play HEARTS AND HATS Hearts and Hats, a comedy drama in three acts written by Robert St. Clair, was given by the Senior Class Friday, May 13, 1938, The play was coached bpy Miss Lilian Charlesworth. Because she has very little money, and be- cause she must move out west so her mother may recover from lung trouble, Beatrice Gar- ret opens a small millinery shop in Dusty Bend, Colorado. As an assistant, she takes on Kitty Kirk, a chorus girl who has been stranded when the theatrical company she was with broke up. Justin Garret, Beatrice's brother whom they had given up for dead, unexpectedly arrives, to the great jcpy of his mother, Helen Garret. Bea- trice owes for her rent but Bob Stuart, a for- mer friend of Justin's during the war, steals the money from Willie Hoyden, the town sheik, gives it to Emma Hartman, the landlady, again steals it from her and returns it to Willie. Kit- ty falls in love with Justin who tells her that he has escaped from a Denver Sanitorium where he was placed by his cousin, Harry Hodges. Justin's whereabouts are discovered and people arrive from Denver to take him back. Kitty comes to his rescue by making him stay on the Arizona side of the State line, which runs down through the center of the store. It seems that one who is declared insane in Colorado is con- sidered sane in Arizona until he has been exam- ined in that state. How Justin eludes the law and the reason for his incarceration come out in a most startling manner. Beatrice consents to marry Bob Stuart and makes a success of her business in an unusual manner.

Just Country Folks is a comedy in three acts. Everybody knows that Seth Hemingway, the town's postmaster and model of honesty, never stole Simon Tuthill's two hundred dollars. Yet Simon, the village Shylock, accuses him. So Hezekiah Huckins, the constable, much against his will is obliged to arrest Seth. Never has Elmwood seen anything more exciting than the trial, held in the Hemingway settin' room, be- cause the Odd Feller,s Hall is stacked full of hay. All the town's leading citizens and wid- ders act as witnesses, and Uncle Abner, the oldest resident, presides over the court. A smart young feller from the city acts as Seth's counsel, and the way he shows up Simon's crooked nephew and the nephew's vampish lady accomplice makes the hearts of all Seth's friends jump with joy.

Page DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC The department of music was again this year in charge of Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Forde. One peri- od a day is devoted to learning the rudiments of music. Mr. Forde directs the school band, girls' glee club, mixed chorus and school orches- tra. Mr. Forde gives individual instruction to those who desire special training in woodwind, brass and percussion instruments every day of the week. Mrs. Forde gives individual instruc- tion on stringed instruments two days a week. About 70 pupils in the grades and high school are members of one or more of the musical or- ganizations this year. The groups have appeared on the following programs: Christmas, Spring Festival, District Music Contest, Baccalaureate, Commencement Exercises, Class Plays and for the past three years at the State Music Contest. The music department is developing very rapidly and successfully. Training has been started in the grades. This training holds promise of larger organizations showing keen- er ability and technique in the future. STRING ENSEMBLE AND STRING QUARTETTE The String Ensemble did a great deal of work during the first semester of this school year. Mrs. R. S. Forde directed this group, and her ability was shown by the splendid performance of the Ensemble at their first public appearance. The group played two numbers for the Music Concert at Christmas. There were nine members in this organiza- tion: The first violinists were Clarice Gorder and Dorothy Evansg the second violinists were Ruth Larson and Lenora Bergg and the third violinist was Paul Samuelson. The viola was played by Ardis Skoglund, and Dellora Hidem played the cello. Lilian Stadsvold added a new instrument this year-the string bass which she played very well at the concert. S The Christmas program was the final per- formance of the String Ensemble because this group was too large to enter the Spring Music Contest. Most of those members of the String Ensemble who were not chosen for the String Quartette, continued work on their instruments in the form of individual lessons under the in- struction of Mrs. Forde. The String Quartette consists of Clarice Gor- der, first violin, Ruth Larson, second violin: Ardis Skoglund, violag and Dellora Hidem, cello. The quartette has met one hour each week as a group, and one hour each week is spent by the individuals for individual instruction. Their aim has been to represent Starbuck High School at the Music Contest. The String Quartette attended the District contest at Glenwood on Friday the twenty- ninth of April. They received a CCD rating. CLARINET QUARTETTE The clarinet quartette of the Starbuck High School consists of Paul Johnshoy, Henry Nod- Gorder and Herbert Nordstrom. under the direction of Mr. R. S. land, Carsten This group is Forde. These musicians have appeared on vari- during the year and the district ous programs music contest at Glenwood. At the district con- test they received a C rating. LYCEUM On Wednesday, September 22, the school was entertained with an interesting lecture on Our National Parks given by Max K. Gilstrap. Mr. Gilstrap had the students spellbound with his experiences, beautiful descriptions, imitations of birds and exceptional personality. On October 2, the Parkinson National Music Ensemble again made its appearance. This year the instruments were limited to the clarinet family. An entertainment given by Mr. Van Rees, a magician, on January 18, had most of the stu- dents wondering. The next day we had simple solutions to nearly all of his tricks. A concert given on October 4, by Karl Scheur- er, foremost violinist of the northwest and Henry Williams, the great Welsh-American harpist was deeply appreciated by true music lovers. With the aid of sliding and moving pictures, Chester Scott Howland gave a thrilling lecture on Wednesday, April 6. It showed that hunting whales is adventurous and dangerous. DECLAMATION Since the number of participants in declam- ation was not large this year, no elimination contest was held. This gave all those out for declamation a chance to appear before the public. The home declamation contest was held on Thursday, February 10. In the dramatic divi- sion first and second places were awarded to Bernice Berge and Gladys Gorder respectivelyg in the humorous division Lila Pederson won first and Harriet Thorstad, second, in the ora- torical division, first and second places went to Arden Brenden and Brenten Myking. Bernice, Lila, and Arden represented our school at Hancock in the sub-district contest held Wednesday, February 16. Lila won the highest honors in the humorous division and so was eligible to compete in the district con- test. In the district contest held in Wheaton on Monday, March 7, Lila Pederson placed second. Our class is especially proud of her, since al- though she is a senior, it was her first attempt at high school declamation. Declamation was coached this year by Miss Charlesworth, Mr. Lunstad, and Supt. Peterson. I 1- 4 -'rum CHI JUNIOR SENIOR BANQUET On Friday evening, May 28, 1937 at 6:30 the seniors, as guests of the Junior Class were en- tertained in the picturesque country of Holland across the sea. At the invitation of a Dutch boy and girl they were seated in groups of four at individual tables. Above them was a canopy of blue and white streamers. The tables were decorated with small bouquets of flowers around which danced Dutch children. The place card, menu, and program were in form of a Dutch Windmill. -The nut cups were made attractive with little Dutch figures pasted to them. A little gravel path led across the green lawn up to a quaint Dutch windmill. This was sur- rounded by beds of gay tulips. The waiters and waitresses, Dutch lads and lassies, walked thru the windmill and up the path as they served the guests. The menu was as follows: fruit cock- tail, salad, potatoes, Swiss steak, biscuits, rad- ishes, olives, coffee and ice cream. The following program was given between courses: Welcome - Brenten Myking Vocal Solo - Dorothy Amundson Tulips - Supt. W. A. Peterson l Canals - Vernon Smedstad Wooden Shoes - Aulis Pederson Piano Solo - Jeannette Kjera Dikes - John Merrill Clarinet Duet - Paul Johnshoy, Boyd Opheim The Sea - Clarice Elie The Junior Class advisor was Miss Schendel. HIGH SCHOOL CARNIVAL The High School Carnival of 1937, was a memorable event in Starbuck. On the evening of October 30, guests from the entire country side were greeted by shrill blasts of horns and clouds of confetti. Side shows, concessions, and movies furnish- ed the entertainment for the first part of the evening. After a delightful program, the evening was climaxed by the crowning of the Carnival Queen of 1937-38, Clarice Elie, senior candidate. The Junior candidate was Gladys Smedstadg Sopho- more, Harriette Thorstadg Freshmen, Verna Landmark. Valuable door prizes were given to the per- sons holding the lucky numbers.
