We Soon settlee down to the ways of the school when Jacksbn Krueger,a$ecid1ng that school life wasn't for him, drOpped out, making the Same number of students as we started out with. Having lost two pupils in this year you may be wondering how this could happen, well, it hanpencd this way--.

Our two weeks of brutal punishment were terminated by a rollicking party on a wierd, ghostly night in September with the seniors as hosts. We chose as our officers, Robert General Lee, president; and Leland Trinrud, secretaryntreasurer. After Christmas Melvin Baboook left, leaving our number a lonesome eighteen, but after the first semeste: Richard Peterson made us happy again by enrolling with r us. Lorraine Hoover went to sunny California, mud afteL? many mathematical calculations you will find that that still leaves us with eighteen members.

He scored the most points per season t94 in conference eompetitionl, had the high average per game, tied Gertch of the team of 57 for the most points in a single game ' and had the most field goals in both the season and in a single game. As a team this year's Vikings won only one of ten con- ference games played, although it may be pointed out in their behalf that they had some close ones, 25-21, 20-19. Failure to win the close ones was due te the fact that the team as a unit could not keep their heads when the game was tight. However the team was a young team. There were two Sophmores, one Freshman, one Junior, and one Senior on the starting five so the Vikings of next year and the year to come should prove to be teams of great strength. This year's team lined up with Kip Trinrud at one forward post taverege per gameu9.81, Ken Trinrud at the other t1.21, Paul Larson at center t1.751, Dick Peterson st guard i0;11 and Lee at the other guard spot t5.61 Only Lee is a Senior, the rest will be back along with Bucky Carr, Sylvan Evenson, and a host of other players who did not quite make the first string this year. Though our team lost, lot it never be said they were poor sports about it. They were a great gang!

Thanks for your cooperation. We've had our moments of triumph, our moments of defeat. I hope we've learned lessons from each. W hat I say to the basketball and baseball boys goes for the whole student body as well. You've all played the game whole heartedly, whether it was on the ' athletic field, in the stands, or in the class room. I can't believe that I'll ever find a group of boys and girls like you. My hope is that I may. Good luck and best wishes. I!f lhl6' ??

Win one, lose two in short season; Playing a new wartime schedule on only three conference games per season the Vikings did not have the higting to wage a highly successful campaign, but they did salvage one game in three attempts. Our lack of success may also be attributed to some costly defensive errors in the clutch for the opposition tallied seventeen runs on only sixteen hits. Misplays under the high pressure were probably due to the fact that the team was young and lacked experience for there were only two seniors on the starting nine. Next year the same team will be out to win, losing only Lee, pitcher, and Gjerteon and Sannee, outfielders. SUMMARY OF THE SEASON The feeble hopes of successfully defending last years Southern Half championship were dimmed in the initial game of the season when Wittenberg invaded the Viking lair and walked over our boys by-a lOuZ count. Lack of hittingvathe Vikee got the small sum of three hiteur and erratic fielding were costly. The Vikings next dropped a 5-2 decision to Rosholt. The hitting was even worse this time, only two safeties were collected off Colrud,'Rosholt hurler. The boys rolled into high gear in the last game of the Season, taming the Tigers of Tigerton 7-2, Seven hits were pounded out and the team refused to bite at bed pitches with the result that they were issued nine bases on balls.

When a girl reads too many romances what chance has a mere man to win her? iRosemary wanted a lover like the one in Hearts Aflame and she had no time for Tom. Her admiring maid, Poppy, felt the same waytin fact, she read the same romancesl, and poop Alec, the gardener, was in despair over Poppy's sudden coldness. Then the author of the romantic books'appears. She's a maiden lady with a kind heart and shb sets about repairing the damage her books have done. Under the direction of Jane, Tom and Alec are soon spouting romantic speeches and making a hit with the girls. There are very funny scenes as Tom is coached on lovemaking. It's still funnier - when he makes the speeches he's been coached on. Two fluttery spineters from the neighborhood keep a thrilled eye on the romantic goinge-on, and even Rosemary's bachelor uncle begins to notice the good qualities of the author he is entertaining unaware. The finale comes with an elepement in which everybody takes a hand. and Aleshand Peppy play a good comic scene for all it's wort . l a smh v The Junior Class Production The junior class can thank Mr. Gordon, their advisor, for the sucCess of the Junior Class Production. For it was he who concluded that the Juniors were not capable ' of presenting a play to raise money to give the seniors a picnic as the preceding classes had done. Thus it was that he concocted what was called The Junior Class Production . The program consisted of a variety of entertain- ment. Some of the participants were not juniors, but they had to draw upon the talent from the other classes. The program was as follows: Trumpet duet, 0ver The Waves ;..C. Dean and B. Lee Serious Deolamation,?TheVWheels-of-T1me M.Knutson Girl's wuartet,Mar1e Knutson, Dorothy Sannes,Norma Otterson, Helene howe, sang a combination of Solomon Levi and A Spanish Cavalier ; also ., Neopolitan Nights . a accordian numbers ..... . ......... ..LaVerne Anderson Humorous Dec.

DRAMATICS - On November nineteenth our humorous and dramatic plays were presented for an enthusiastic audience at the Community Hall. he serious play, No Greater Love , was a play about people we all know. An interesting pers formance was given by Virginia Christensen, as the weary, heartbroken mother. Her only happiness was in her son, for whose sake she had kept up her Kenn tucky Mountain home since her husband's death, and managed to finance her son's education in medical school by her own patient, drudging toil. Paul Lar- son, our clearuvoioed sophomore, gave us an excellent portrayal of the cocky, self-sufficient young man who obstinately refused to bury himself in the squallid little town that so blindly trusted in this son of the doctor who had given up choice associates and up-toudate equipment to care for the villagers. An aging men, broken in health, watches bitterly while his sister's heart is broken by her son. This pathetic character was vividly brought to life on the stage by Loren Lee. Lorraine Hoover found a place in our hearts as the tender, loving little neighbor girl who waited for years.for the young doctor, only to be ignored by him, Looking on while struggles and heartaches surround her rocking chair is the age ing, sympathetic grandmother who appreciates even her grandson's unreasoning ambition, and who patients ly convinces him that his place is here, with the people who love him and need him. In staging this story of a humble mountain home, Miss Virginia Gar- side did a convincing and effective Job, and for many of us the play pointed to the solution of many of our personal problems. The rollicking comedy, Not Tonight , was stimu ulating entertainment, actually bringing us into a home full of sleepwelkersl Only one person in the house was an exception. The daughter, tMarie Knut- soni did not walk in her sleep, but she was afflic- ted with a fervent desire to get married, and, as she so aptly put it off stage, she was determined to hook herself a MAN or ELSEli With all her ways and wiles, she finally interested her man tKen Trina rudl to the point of proposing. But her careful plans were hilariously interrupted by her father, the sleepwelking admiral tGordon Sannesi reufightsng tcontinuedi vagiwwmar h u r e: i most of history's famous sea battles in a knee- length nightuehirt. He was Joined shortly by his wife tEleanor Huffcuti in her eideueplitting quest for the burglar she let escape years ago. Her search was conducted in her sleep, of course, and when she mistook her daughter's suitor for the bare glar and attempted to convert him, the audience was laughing uproarously. Floating gaily in on the scene tnight-mare to Mariei came the frivolous aunt tDorothy Sannesi to top it off with her sleepwwalk- ing version of Lady Macbeth with a few other much- to-benpitied characters thrown in for good measure. It all came out all right, in the end, of course: i but it was a comedy we won't soon forget, and kept us laughing right up to end: a sleepuwalker's pro- posal, complete with kneeling, gush, and red and . green polkaedotted pyjamas. .

V... $3 I'thKoNG xr CLASS PROPHECY It 1e 1958, ten years after the class of 1943 graduated from Scandinavia High School. My work has carried me Iar irom civilization and I have Just come into poseesion of a copy of the Scandinavia gag and Moon. the first newspaper I have seen in ten years. IgEEve not heard from any of my classmates since graduation. Maybe I can find some news of them here. On the first page I see the name of Norman Larson in large print. Well, will you look at that, he has Just made his name famous in the field of engineering when .the Waupace Bridge, which he built, held together for exactly six hours, thirty-five minutes, and one and twee tenths of a second. A new record! Just below is an advertisement of the Ringling Bro- ther, Barnum and Baily Circus. I see a familiar face. There is Kenneth Peterson hanging from a high flying trapeze by his teeth. Ah, a picture of Gordon Sannee, prominent senator from Wisconsin. Alec 1n the picture I see Arlene Trinrug, Gordon's private secretaryo She has Just made a new typing record of 165 words a minute. Next I turn to the entertainment sectionve-well, a new Tarzan picture, featuring Wayne Bergen and Jean Erickson 1n Tarzan and His Mate . Hmmm! and here we see an article on the outstanding work of Hildegerde Olson, R.N. who has taken off toes without an anesthetic. My,my 'magine that, Herman GJcrteon is to lecture to the National Hog Raisers Con- vention in Chicago. Herman is a well known dirt farmer from Scandinavia. Here in the corner of the page I find an advertise- ment of Virginia's Fifth Avenue Beauty Salon. Last week She coifed the heir of the President's wife. I turn to the sports section where I am greeted by a familiar feee. Here is an article on Loren Lee. He is now a player on the Brooklyn Dodgers; No change in countenance.
