Many new instruments have been purchased by the school this year. Among these are the tympanies, which were formerly the property of a member of the New York Symphony Orchestra. The band has attended music clinics at Alexandria and Morris. It has also participated in the school's annual Christmas Concert and the Spring Music Festi- val. At the District Music Contest held at Glenwood the band received a B rating for its selection, Sanctu- ary of the Heart by Ketelbey.

The Cecelian Glee Club of 1938-1939 is composed of thirty-one able and efficient members, under the skillful leadership ol' Mr. R. S. Forde. This organiza- tion, which has had only one hour each Week for re- hearsal, received a BU rating at the District Music contest at Glenwood. Duc to the fact that no A's were awarded to any Glee Club in our class, our Glee Club feels truly proud ol' its BH rating. As no A's were given, the Glee Clubs receiving a B rating were entitled to take part in the contest in Minneap- olis, but because of a late notice, our Glee Club did not go, OFFICERS President - ---- - Helen Thompson Vice President - - Sylvia Ramstad Secretary - - Ardis Skoglund T1'0g15U1'01' - ---- - D6ll0I'Zl Hld8lYl Librarians - Verna Landmark, Mildred Olson

1939 CHIPPEWAN Page 15 Basketball 1938-1939 Standing-Mr. Nygaard, coach, Aldrid Opheim, Arden Brenden, James Erickson, Perry Berg, Norris Evjen, Arthur Berg, Noman Hagen, Lester Sanvik. Seated-Ralph Norland, Henry Nodland, Archie Otteson, Boyd Opheim, Vernon Larson, Paul Johnshoy. When Coach Nygaard issued a call for basketeers, about 25 boys, headed by Co-Captains, Archie Otteson and Boyd Opheim, together with Vernon Larson. the third letterman, answered this call. After several weeks of constant practice the boys felt ready 1'or their first game. Coach Nygaard assign- ed berths to Archie Otteson, Boyd Opheim, Vernon Larson, Ralph Norland and Henry Nodland for the first game with Glenwood. A close, hard-fought battle was the result, with the Bucks coming out on the long end of a 27-24 count. In the next game with Osakis, we won by a narrow margin of four points and gained revenge for the one- point victory Osakis scored over us last year. Wheaton and Brooten fell as the next victims by the scores of 33 to 20 and 33 to 18, respectively. In the last game before the Christmas holidays we defeated Benson for our first victory over them since Coach Nygaard took over the coaching duties. On December 21 the annual alumni game was play- ed. The high school emerged victors, making the wins and losses six to five for the high school in the past eleven years. After a rest of two weeks the Bucks again started rolling up victories. The first victim was Alberta. In a close game at Barrett we again won 27 to 25. Han- cock, Chokio, and Elbow Lake fell before the rampag- ing Bucks. Our record of eleven consecutive wins was marred by a defeat at the hands of Wheaton by two points. With their minds still troubled by the defeat by Wheaton, the Bucks outscored and outplayed a strong Benson quintet by a margin of ten points. Now the Bucks took things into their own hands and rolled up five victories by large margins. The victims were Brooten, Barrett, Hancock, Alberta, and Bel- grade. The last game of the regular season was play- ed at Glenwood. The game was fast and rough, with a total of 25 fouls being called. Norland and Opheim left the game in the fourth quarter on fouls. Neither team gained a lead of more than four points through- out the game. Glenwood led 5 to 3 at the end of the first quarter, and 9 to 7 at the half. The Bucks led 17 to 16 at the end of the third quarter but Glenwood outscored the Bucks in the last quarter to win by a score of 23 to 20. The sub-district tournament was held at Morris, March 2 and 3. In the first game against Hancock, the Bucks were forced to play without Larson and Opheim who had been ill with the flu the first part of the week. After a shaky start, the Bucks settled down and soon had a lead. The final score was 23 to ll. Morris defeated Alberta and received the right to play Starbuck in the finals. In the championship game, Starbuck played without Norland, and Larson and Opheim were not strong enough to play true to form for any length of time, so Nodland and Otteson had to carry the greater burden of play. The tall Morris team controlled the rebounds and therefore had control of the ball the greater part
