Qlwippe-Wm - ,s1.1,.+.... L M- O IQ 43 Sho-Man 4 194.2 Back row-Coach H. B. Meyer, Teddy Ross, Ernest Ranum, Chester Olsen, Ellsworth Thompson, Ellwood Wollan, May- rard Dahlseng. Front row-Norman Benson, Jerome Otteson, Harold Ran- um, Arnold Danielson, Harris Larson. Handicapped by one week of practice the local foot- ball gridders began their 1942 campaign at Alberta. Six lettermen returned, namely, Chester Olsen, Ells- worth Thompson, Ernest Ranum, Maynard Dahlseng, Teddy Ross, Ellwood Wollan and Harris Larson. Al- though there was a letterman for every position re- placements were few and even the starting lineup was lacking in experience. Graduation of last year's entire backfield left our backfeild of unknown strength. Fif- teen candidates reported for practice to H. B. Meyer, our new coach. Chester Olsen and Ellsworth Thompson were elected co-captains of the team. ALBERTA 38s STARBUCK 29 Under threatening clouds the Bucks dropped anchor for their first entanglement of the season on the grid- iron of the Alberta High School. The game was play- ed under the most adverse weather conditions, with cold rain falling from kickoff to final whistle. Unable to pass or gain consistently through the heavy Alberta line the Maroon and Gold had to resort to speed which was cut down considerably by the muddy field. The entire team played well and kept the game close with their never say die spirit. Wollan and Dahlseng ac- counted for the scores. ASHBY 0: STARBUCK 13 On October 6 the Bucks brought their won-lost led- ger to a balance by defeating a rangy Ashby team by a score of 13 to 0. All the scoring was done in the first half with Wollan and Dahlseng going over. After the first touchdown a short pass resulted in a conversion: the second attempt failed. The tough Starbuck de- fense proved too much of an obstacle for the Ashby six to score upon although they had the Bucks befuddled several times with a foxy reverse. ASI-IBY 7: STARBUCK 54 On October 13 the Starbuck team made their first home appearance winning a decisive victory over the same Ashby team. In this game we had the misfor- tune of losing our fullback, Maynard Dahlseng, due to a leg injury in the first minute of play disabling him for the remaining part of the season. The Bucks took the lead in the first quarter and never relin- quished it. Norman Benson, in at end to replace the injured Dahlseng, did not weaken the line play in any respect. The entire second team started the third quarter and played most of the remainder of the game. BELGRADE 18: STARBUCK 44 In October the Bucks completed a four-game sea- son by trouncing Belgrade 44 to 18 at Belgrade. This victory made it three straight. The only loss was to Alberta on a wet, rainy field. This is the only school which has ever defeated any Starbuck 6-man team. Completing their High School careers were Ches- ter Olsen, Ellsworth Thompson, Ernest Ranum, Ted- dy Ross, Harris Larson, Harold Ranum, Arnold Dan- ielson, Norman Benson and Ellwood Wollan. All played sterling ball during the season and the loss will be keenly felt next year. We Seniors who will play no more football for Starbuck High School extend to further teams our test wishes for success. C205

Strehlo on April 9, 1943. It 'vas a great success. The music between acts was furnished by an instru- mental group directed by Mr. R. S. Forde. Norma's mother, the famous Martha Drake, dies mysteriously at a week end party she is giving and Norma, not satisfied with the doctor's decision that her death was caused by heart failure. invites all those who were present the night of her death up to their cottage hoping to uncover the murderer. By means of an automatic phonograph she has her mother's voice ccme at them out of thin air thinking that the mur- derer will give himself away, but someone discovers and destroys the phonograph which upsets all Norma's plans. Later during a seance being conducted by Mr. Majundahr, a Hindu mystic, the voice is heard again, much to the amazement of Kenneth and Norma. Then a figure bathed in a green light appears on the stairs as the ghost of Martha and accuses Ken of the murder. Every one except the Negro maid Ruby has a motive for killing Martha, but Norma can't believe Ken is guilty. Finally things come to a point and, thanks to Erifget, everything is cleared up Martha had dis- covered that Madam Wilma Grunn was a Nazi spy and Wilma killed her to keep her from telling. Each one confesses his secret and Madam Grunn drowns when her car plunges into the lake. The play ends with a laugh when Ruby Lee, who has been hiding under the Cavenport, loses her skirt while being pulled out and runs off stage displaying her pantalettes.
