Junior-Senior Banquet On the evening of April 21, 1939 at 7:00 o'clock the Seniors, invited by their fellow-Juniors, traveled to the land ol' the Midnight Sun. Here Alaskan hospitali- ty was bestowed generously upon them. At the summoning of a native, the Seniors were seated at tables midst softly falling snow and dim lights. Miniature penguins served as place cards and nut cups. The program and menu could be seen between ice blue tinted covers. Boy and girl Icelanders dressed in white served the .following menu: Eskimo Delight, Icebergs and Silt, Stuffed Seal, Al- askan Nuggets, Pebbles and Shells on Moss, Northern Lights, Rolling Breakers, Igloo Special, and Life Savers.

Ullere Comes Charlie, a farce-comedy in three acts written by Jay Tobias, was given by the Junior Class, .l rirlay, November 24th. The play was coached by Miss Ellen Pakola. The following is a synopsis of the play: Larry Elli- ott. young broker, thinking he is becoming guardian of a small boy, is jolted to find he has taken a girl to raise, seventeen and pretty. Charlotte is called Char- lie. hence the error. Why the jolt? Well, Larry is en- gaged to the imperious Vivian Smythe-Kersey and is further hen-ridden by a snobbish aunt. To have an- other female in the house delights him not. Neither does it delight Vivian and the aunt. Charlie arrives from Arkansas accompanied by Uncle Aleck Twiggs. She starts calling Larry, Papa, After several mis- uncleistandings, Charlie leaves Larry to enter a finish- ing school and in a few months changes from an un- cultured hill-billy to a clever young Woman. Mean- while l.arry is surprised to find himself in love with his fosterehild, and as soon as she returns, they marry. CAST OF CHARACTERS Nora Malone . , , Lenora Berg Ufticer Tim McGrill , ..

1940 CHIPPEWAN Page28 MUSIC DEPARTMENT g We are especially proud of our musical organiza- tions: this year. i We received five superior ratings at the District Festival and four B ratings at the State Contest. We appreciate the cooperation of the school board :nd faculty in allowing us to enter the state contest. Mr. Forde is to be congratulated on his splendid work in making music an outstanding activity in the ftnrbuck High School. Q CLARINET QUARTETTE The clarinet quartette of the Starbuck High School consists of Henry Nodland, Carsten Gorder, Herbert Nordstrom and Perry Berg This group is under the direction of R. S. Forde. These musicians have ap- peared on various programs during the year and at the District Music Festival at Glenwood. At the District Festival the quartette received a Usuperiorl' rating. They played Argentine by Bennett. The quartette also entered the State Music Contest and there received a B rating. STRING ENSEMBLE The String Ensemble was not organized until the second semester of this school year. The members of this group were Ruth Larson and Paul Samuelson, first violinistsg Leonora Berg, second violinist, Alva Bloomquist, and Naomi Foss, third violinistsg Dellora Hidem and Margaret Sanvik, cellistsg Lilian Stads- vold, bass. This group, under the direction of Mrs. R. S. Fcrde, played a selection composed of two German dances. at the Spring Music Contest, but this group was too large to enter the District Music Contest, so a group composed of Ruth Larson, as first violinist, Leo- nora Berg as second violinist, Dellora Hidem and Mar- garet Sanvik as cellists, Lilian Stadsvold, bass and Ar- dis Skoglund, at the piano, participated in the Music Festival on April 26. This string ensemble received a C rating at the district music festival at Glenwood. ILECLAMATION Starbuck was represented in only the oratorical de- clamation division this year. There was no local con- test held but Arden Brenden, Robert Schroeder and Herbert Nordstrom represented Starbuck at the sub- district speech festival at Benson on February 28, 1940. Arden Brenden received a superior'l rating there. The district contest was held at Gra-ceville, March 2, 1940. There were eight representatives in this divi- sion and only two superior ratings were given. Our local representative, Arden Brenden received superi- or rating as did an orator from Breckenridge. Arden Brenden, who represented Starbuck high school in the regional speech festival held at Staples on March 5, 1940, received a very good rating from the -critic judge, Dr. Rarig, of the Department of Speech at the University of Minnesota. Only one representative was given superior rating in the oratorical declama- tion division. I. COMM ENCEMENT EXERCISES MAY 30, 1940 SCHOOL AUDITORIUM Processional ...... .................
