Chippewan M - e . -- -- e -- : IQZJ-3 DECLAMATION Declamation was represented by seven contestants from the Starbuck High School this year. An elimination contest was held for local contes- tants February twenty-sixth. Six contestants were chosen to take part in the Sub- district contest held at Starbuck March fourth. They were Ray Johnson, Joan Hagert, Ruth Larson, Clarice Westby, Sylvia Nelson and Nels Forde. Contestants from Morris and Hancock also participated. Miss Probstfield coached the interpretive reading contestants and Mr. Peterson coached the original ora- tory. ' Nels Forde, Ray Johnson and Ruth Larson were gi- ven superior ratings at the sub-district contest by the critic judge, Miss Loseth of the department of speech at Willmar, Minnesota. Nels Forde and Ray Johnson were chosen to parti- cipate in the district contest held at Breckenridge. Ray received a Superior rating in interpretive reading and Nels Forde received Very Good in original ora- tory. The regional speech festival was not held this year due to the war, so Ray Johnson did not have the op- portunity to compete beyond district limits. .lygl LYCEUM NUMBERS October 16, 1942-The Deep River Singers, a star cast from the original Swing Mikado, appeared in our auditorium. The memory that lingers from this pro- gram is the sincerity and humbleness with which these Negros entered into the spirit of the music they pre- sented. October 22, 1942-Russ Charles, a magician, staged one hour of entertainment including magic tricks and illusions. November 4, 1942-We were again this year enter- tained by a Parkinson music ensemble. The solos and group selections on various instruments, besides the story of the history of certain instruments, were much enjoyed. January 28, 1943-Mr. Ford, a ventriloquist, brought Jerry Finnegan, Charlie McCarthy's cousin, to give those who attended a riot of fun and laughs. April 29, 1943-A troupe of magicians, Schutz and Company presented an elaborate program of magic, illusions, and mystery that kept the audience wonder- ing what had happened to their reason. ..lE CARNIVAL The annual High School Carnival was held on Nov- ember 7, 1942. Side shows, concessions and movies furnished the entertainment for both the young and the old. Lunch was served, throughout the entire eve- ning to those who so desired. Later in the evening a fine program was given, af- ter which came the event that was looked forward to most, namely, the crowning of the Carnival King and Queen. The Seniors chose Olive Smedstad and Ells- worth Thompsong the Juniors, Delores Pederson and Allen Paul Norbyg the Sophomores, Gladys Rud and Henrik Sylvesterg and the Freshmen, Patricia Sanvik and Ralph Forde, Jr. All the ticket sellers worked hard to elect their re- spective candidates. The Seniors, however, succeed- ed in electing Ellsworth Thompson and Olive Smed- stad as the 1942 Carnival King and Queen. The Carnival has always been a great success here, both financially and socially. It is sponsored by the High School Athletic Association and the proceeds are used to help defray expenses of athletics, music and declamation. Hard work and cooperation are needed to make a successful carnival, but we have always been repaid in full when the big event is over. .lgl F. F. A. ACTIVITIES The F. F. A. held a meeting once a month last sum- mer and during this school year. On Sunday, July 26, the group went to Glenwood for a roller skating party. The F. F.
