1 9 3 S -THE CHIPPEYVAN- Page 21 unior Class Play JUST COUNTRY FOLKS This play was presented by the Junior Class on Friday, November 19, 1937, under the direc- tion of J. P. Lunstad. 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.

Il 9 3 8 -THE Cl-IIPPEWVAN-.. 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.
