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.

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.

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.
