To Mr. Stokes, who has been our adviser and ever ready helper during our last two years in University High, we, the Senior Class, wish to express our thanks. Pane i SENIORS’! 19 2 9 THE BISBILA 19 2 9 Seniors SENIORS—how much the name implies! Three years of ambitious striving; three years of undaunted courage; and then the longed-for goal! One year of unquestioned leadership among school fellows, one year to be distinguished in the high counsels and the organizations of the school, then commencement! After that, freshmen in college, or freshmen in life, or both. The Seniors of 1929 have striven unflinchingly, have held their place of honor worthily, and have left University High School a better place for having worked, played, and served there. But, in leaving, they take a part of University High with them—ideals, lessons learned, friendships made, and memories to cheer their way. As they go forth from her halls, may they prosper in the work they undertake, and serve their fellowmen as they are given strength to serve.

All were waiting for the judge to announce the next trial. As he rose, the audience recognized him as Dr. Boardman of the University High School. He began: You, the class of 1929, are charged with being the finest ‘all-around’ class that ever was graduated from University High School. You are charged by the faculty of said school of having always worked as a united group for the betterment of the school and for having committed other similar acts. Have the defendants anything to say for themselves?” Not a person came forward to speak a good word for the class of 1929, but some one in the rear of the room rose to gain recognition. Miss Dora V. Smith, do you wish to offer yourself as a witness for the school? If so, please come forward and take the oath,” thundered the Judge as he settled his nose glasses a little more firmly. Your Honor,” Miss Smith began, I clearly remember how in 1925 a crowd of frightened children flocked to the friendly portals of University High School. They were children when they fell in with the ranks of the school and took their own places in the affairs of the school. Donald Rieck guided them through their first year. They even went so far as to publish a newspaper, ‘The Freshman Evergreen,’ whose editor was Kieth Barrons.” Why didn’t they have any parties or social affairs?” questioned the judge. Oh, indeed they did,” went on Miss Smith. Not only did they attend the school sunlights, but they had class parties which were the envy of all the other classes. I knew this class best when they were freshmen for I was their first adviser, but I have heard many rumors of their powers in journalism, music, athletics, and scholarship.” The voice quavered a trifle and then stopped entirely. The Judge chuckled as he heard the evidence piling up against the fated class of 1929. Are there other witnesses?” he questioned, If so, please take the oath and give your testimony.” I do not wish to heap any more coals on the head of this class,” began a person whom by her dimples the Judge recognized as Miss Margaret McGuire, but it is my duty. When they were sophomores,—for Page 19 19 2 9 THE BISBILA 19 2 9 that is the year I knew them best—they proved that they were going to be the finest class we had ever had by the spirit they showed in getting into the swing of the school. A number of the boys reported to Pete” for football and the girls almost got the soccer championship. The class party was conceded to be the most successful sophomore party that had ever been given. In the spring, true to form, this class broke all the traditions of the school and elected a girl, Albertine Arth, president of the class for the junior year. The class was well governed when they were sophomores too, George Miller was president and Helen Metcalf vice-president. Oh dear, I m afraid I’m not a very good witness, dimpled Miss McGuire as she left the stand. Ahem! I know a great deal of evidence against this class, and I shall produce proof of their deeds in University High School.” Who are you, and what right have you to testify against the class of 1929?” interrupted the Judge. I am Claude N. Stokes, Ph. D. of the Mathematics department of University High School, and I have been the adviser of this class for two years, and feel it my duty to expose the accomplishments of the said class.” Continue Mr. Stokes.” Everyone rather expected the experiment of having a girl for president of the class to be a failure, which it was not! Even though the class was far from wealthy at the beginning of the year they collected money enough from somewhere to entertain the lofty seniors at a prom that went down in the social register of U. High in red ink. The school debating team was made up of juniors with two exceptions, and they won third place in the Minneapolis league. With a foundation as firm as the one this class has made for itself in three years, its fourth year could be nothing but a success. The Breeze, Homecoming, the football team, the Vaudeville, all the other activities of the school have been at their heights this year. Of course all the credit for their success does not belong to the class of 1929, but at least the greater share of it does, for they were the ones who managed the various affairs. Frankly speaking, I do not believe that University High School will ever be able to shake off the influence of this class.” The Judge turned to the Jury to give a verdict, but before he could say a word the jury rose as one man and reported Guilty.” Page ) I 19 2 9 THE BISBILA 19 2 9 Other Classes JUST as infallible as the law of succession in nature, is the law of succession in school. When the seniors have passed out of the ranks of the high school through graduation, the other classes move up each in order and the vacancy is filled—juniors become seniors, sophomores become juniors, and so on down through the classes. The Juniors of University High School, through their record of achievement and their manifest interest in their school and its activities, give promise of being worthy successors of the departing Seniors and of being capable torch-bearers in U. H. S. The Sophomores have an enviable record at their early stage in the game and will undoubtedly add to the laurels of the school and thus leave their footprints on the sands of time.” In the following pages these classes are presented together with an account of their achievements and interests. Page it 19 2 9 THE B I $ B I L A 19 2 9 Junior Class History OFFICERS Albert Killeen - President Elizabeth Grobe - Vice President Lois Williams - Secretary Robert Upton - Treasurer NOW7 that we have reached the end of our Junior year, our thoughts go back to the accomplishments, the trials, and the tribulations of the past months—and forward to the deeds still to be accomplished. In the various branches of athletics our boys showed their skill and desire to help the school win honors. What would a football game have been without Bert Sherman and his trusty Junior ’'henchmen”? In basket-ball our class did its part to uphold the school honor. We are proud to say that the Junior class contributed one third of the school swimming team; and they helped to win several victories for U” High. Then we had a great deal of talent along dramatic lines. The parts of leading man and lady, in Daddy Long Legs,” were taken by Juniors —Durand Maher and Lois Williams. Our class also had many representatives in the minor parts. When vaudeville time came around and the Dramatic Club presented Pot Pourri,” the Junior class once more showed its ability. Will any of us ever forget how John Corneveaux looked as best man” in The Wedding” when he discovered that he had lost the ring? And, above all, what a sweet bride Elizabeth Grobe made? There were quite a few of our number in the ranks of the Glee Club; thus aiding in several important events of the year—the Mid-Year Concert, The Operetta, and the Music Contest. Our standing so far has only been shown in the athletic and social field—we must not forget the scholastic side of our life! The Honor Roll” had a great many Juniors on its regular roll call, and many who appeared quite frequently. We are very proud to be able to say that one of our members has been on the All A’s,” with very few exceptions, ever since our Freshman year. The individuality of the class was shown in the unique plan of government which was adopted by our illustrious president with the approval of Mr. Garlough, our able adviser. Eleven members from the class were selected to act as a cabinet. These eleven, with the aid of Albert Killeen, the president; Elizabeth Grobe, vice-president; Lois Williams, secretary; and Robert Upton, treasurer, carried on the business of the class.

The Torchbearer’s Seat Most of us wish we could live again The years that have passed us by; But all of us know the fates would ordain That we attend University High. Three long, short years have slipped away Since as Freshmen we entered these halls. Three happy years we’ve followed the sway Of Seniors who’ve answered life’s calls. As leaders proudly they went before To guide in the highroad our feet; Now skilled in all their leadership lore They yield us the torchbearer’s seat. ■t Give us strength to perform the work that’s to do Give us power that we may do it well.

To prove and uphold this statement, we shall enumerate a list of the activities which have made us, in spite of the Senior’s jests, a class with a bright and promising future. The efficiency and rapidity with which we conducted the affairs of our class during the last year and a half brought us to the fore. The Senate should be given much credit for its accomplishments throughout this year, and our two representatives worked faithfully and well; one as the secretary of the Senate and the other as publicity agent of that organization. We are very proud to feel that we shall have a chance, in the next (wo years, to fill the newly installed Trophy Case with the fruits of our labors. To gain these fruits we have worked long and hard. During the lovely days and dreary days of fall our men fell in line for football practice, and, as a result, three of them received their letters. How proud we were! And then, during the long winter evenings, our boys reported to the Armory to shoot baskets, and again three received letters. Following the steps of our preceding elders, we placed many of our numbers in the tank team, two-thirds of which consisted of Sophomores. But the boys will not be the sole contributors to the new Trophy Case. Their classmates, the girls, worked with vim and vigor in their athletics, to help insure success to the large gymnasium demonstration, and received honor for having a majority at winter quarter play hours. And so seriously did our Sophomore girls take their swimming course, that we are producing many Gertrude Ederles. Last year we discovered that we had much dramatic talent in our ranks, but being inexperienced, we were not allowed to exercise this talent to a great extent. As an outcome of our suppressed energy and ability, this season we brought our finds to the fore in Daddy Long Legs” and Pot Pourri.” Not only were we talented actors, but we also had vivid imaginations and could express ourselves very well. Three of us served on the Cage 4 19 2 9 THE B I S B I L A 19 2 9 Last, row: Kent, Ross, Lindquist. Haag, Ucngston, Devancy, Allison, Curtis, Stevenson. Cooper. Fifth row: Palmer.

Our girls showed their ability as leaders in helping to give the Girls’ Club one of the most successful years it has ever experienced. Last, but not least, we proved ourselves to be hard-working and illustrious through the fact that twelve of us kept on the Honor Roll throughout the entire year. We are sure that our highest scholastic representatives will win the Faculty Award and the award of the National Honor Society. Although we might go on and list numerous others of our activities, we feel that we might appear as boasters and braggarts; but we did want to show that Sophomores do accomplish something and are very important for the welfare of the school.

Many student interests find outlet and expression in the extracurricular activities of the school, which are directed and advised by faculty members who have interests along the same lines. University High is justly proud of the opportunity it offers to its students for the development and satisfaction of their interests through the wide diversity of its organizations. These organized clubs have done much to foster a spirit of fellowship among the students and so to make the student body of U” High seem like a large school family. An attempt has been made in the following pages to portray the achievements and ideals of the students who make up the membership of each of these organizations and in this way to show the importance of these activities in school life. ‘afie J7 19 2 9 THE BISBILA 19 2 9 Bisbila Staff Cage .'8 George Miller Albertine Arth Lee Loevinger Anne Armstrong Caroline Kittoe Lucetta Alden Margaret Reinardy Helen Metcalf Stephen Harris Kathryn Molzahn Charles Jones Arnold Mueller Harry Cummings Miss Christensen Miss Smythe Mr. Stokes Editor-m-Chief Associate Editor Associate Editor Art Editor Art Editor Art Editor Humor Editor Girls' Athletics Boys' Athletics Album Editor Business Manager Circulation Manager Advertising Manager Ad risers 19 2 9 THE B I S B I L A 19 2 9 Top row: Grates, Kittoc, Perry, Gear, Killeen, Gowen, Miller, Harris.

The staff under the able leadership of Miss Mabel Holmbcrg deserved a great deal of credit for this achievement. The paper aroused a widespread interest as was shown by the many subscriptions to it, not only by U High students, but by “alums” who are scattered throughout the country. Our business manager, Keith Barrons, and our advertising manager, Milton Fisher, advised by Mr. Johnson, set a record in the business history of the Campus Breeze, because for the first time the Breeze actually paid for itself. Perhaps another reason for the popularity of the Breeze is the excellent organization of its staff. The publication of the paper was taken over at the beginning of the year by an English Journalism class, taught by Miss Holmberg. Cartoons, another innovation to the paper, were in charge of Caroline Kittoe. This touch of humor stimulated interest in the articles.

The Senate was formed with the purpose of permitting student participation in solving school problems, and to foster a better sportsmanship in all school activities. The members of the Senate are elected by the students, making it the only body representative of the entire school. The Senate had charge of Homecoming, raising money for the new trophy-case, and has presented a new point-system to the student body to regulate student participation in extra-curricular activities. The Senate has also aided in helping solve the many problems that constantly arise during the school year. Fane jo 19 2 9 THE BISBILA 19 2 9 Tof row. Brooks. Hynes. Front row: Armstrong, Gold. Myers.

It is their aim as a group to render constructive service to the school. The organization may be considered as an honorary club, but it is also an active one. During the fall quarter the small number of girls elected in the spring of 1928 carried on a Community Chest campaign in U” High. At Thanksgiving this club, together with the Hi Y Club, collected student donations and provided five poor families with holiday dinners. Acme pledges were initiated in January, which enlarged the active membership to eleven. During the winter quarter their main project was raising funds for the trophy case. This was done primarily by selling apples at noon. Beside that, however, the girls of the club sponsored an all-school valentine box, and sold valentine stamps to both faculty and students. Several social events were scheduled for the spring quarter, including the annul kid party, the alumnae banquet, and the house party. Miss Gold, who is Acme adviser, has proved an invaluable helpmate throughout the year.

S. girl possessing sufficient athletic ability is eligible to election in the Girls’ U” Club. In order to become a member, a girl must earn 180 points from the point system. At least 30 points must have been earned by playing on teams, and 5 5 points must be won from the hygiene group. In addition to these points she must have had 75% attendance at play hour, a B average in gym, a C average in scholarship, and finally a 75% vote of the members in 'U” Club. Once a member she must be loyal to the club by increasing and advancing its interest in athletics and live up to the rules of good sportsmanship. The program of U” Club for the year has been successfully carried out. The routine of the usual demonstration was varied this year by the addition of swimming. One successful innovation of the year was the Maroon and Gold Hop” given February second. Bids were sold to girls, non-members, to interest them and show them the fun U” Club has. The lasting associations and friendships formed by girls as members of U” Club indicate th? value of this organization on the high school campus.

Girl’s Club OFFICERS Delphine Brooks - - President Margaret Oehler - - Vice-President Iantha Powrie - Secretary Anne Armstrong - Treasurer Ad visers DURING the year of 1928-29 the Girls Club of University High under the guidance of their new adviser, Miss Olin, endeavored to bind the girls of the school closer together by making each girl feel personally responsible for the success of the club. To accomplish this goal an effort was made to include every member at least once in the special programs given during the year. Also the girls were urged to express their preference of committees on which they preferred to serve. Much effort was expended on refurnishing the club room this year. We realized the dream of having our own telephone to say nothing of new chairs, tables, bright cushions, and cheery pictures. Perhaps the greatest achievement of 1928-29 was that of sponsoring a Junior High Girls’ Club which promises to be an influential organization in the Junior High. However, these arc only a few scattered examples of what a Girls’ Club working as a united body can accomplish. The Girls’ Club prides itself on being able to carry out successfully anything it attempts. Never yet has it been disappointed. Now in the sixth year of its life the Girls’ Club has reached a height of undreamed of influence and power; furthermore, there is every reason to believe that the club will go onward, upward, and outward, always guided by the sentiment: Not their club, Not my club, Not your club, But Our club.

Secretary THE Library Board is a comparatively new organization in University High School. It came into existence in the Fall of 1927 through the suggestion and advice of Miss Ruth Ann Condon, the librarian at that time. Its primary purpose was to assist the librarian by checking the roll, charging books, answering questions, and taking care of disciplinary matters. It was composed of upper-classmen chosen by the principal, the librarian, and the president of the Senate. The work of the Board proved so successful that the plan was continued this year, and a number of innovations were added. These are the establishment of an executive committee, which is composed of students who were members of the original Board; a definite time for meetings; the giving of credit for the work; and the appointment of a committee to take charge of the bulletin boards. In serious cases of discipline, the offender is brought before the executive committee, which decides upon the punishment. The students on the Board this year have added to their duties the putting of books on reserve and taking them off, thus gaining valuable experience in library methods. l'azc 19 2 9 THE B I S B I L A 19 2 9 Top row: Brown, Boss, Roscndahl, Gortncr, Mueller, Ricck, Fischer, Sherman, Alway, Corncveaux.

Dramatic Club Durand Maher Albert Killeen Gertrude Lawton Elizabeth Grobe President Vice-President Secretary T reasurer AMONG the various organizations of U High there is, perhaps, not one which has had a more interesting or successful year than the Dramatic Club. In the dim, dark ages of our history, some aspiring soul undertook the organizing of a club in which those who were interested in dramatic art might become acquainted and have an opportunity to foster and develop their talent. As a result of his pioneering efforts, enthusiasm, and perseverance, we have our Dramatic Club. The group was reorganized in 1927, and the results ever since have been entirely commendable. Remembering that worth is shown by deeds,” we suggest that you recall the performances of Daddy Long Legs,” Dust of the Road,” and Pot Pourri” which were all very successful; as were also those other plays which added so creditably to our regular meetings. The officers, and above all Mrs. Nethercott, deserve great credit for the ambitious undertakings of the club. Altogether, these events have given the Dramatic Club an assured place among the organizations, but— No epilogue, I pray you, for your play needs no excuse.” Fane 19 2 9 THE BISBILA 19 2 9 ' ’ row: Kittclson, Short, Williams, Stalhcim, Erickson, Bloomquist, Ebert.

The Glee Club OFFICERS Arnold Mueller - President Beatrice Barwise - Secretary-Treasurer UNDER the direction of Mr. Jones, the University Senior High School Glee Club was changed during the winter quarter to the more modern organization of an a capella chorus. As such the Midyear Concert was presented to an enthusiastic audience in the Music Auditorium. This chorus was afforded a wonderful opportunity, when, in connection with three hundred other picked voices, it presented the complete Messiah with the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra at the Auditorium. Twice this U” High School chorus sang at Simpson Methodist church, offering the first time, selections from the Messiah, and the second occasion, presenting a short concert of negro spirituals in honor of Lincoln’s birthday. A thirty-minute recital was also given at Central Park Methodist Church in St. Paul. Besides a number of assembly programs, the chorus presented an operetta, College Daze,” or Carrie comes to College” which proved to be a complete success. The chorus spent many hours of diligent practice in preparation for competition in the B” class of the District and State Music Contest which was held in May.

One of the most significant things the club did during the past year was to form an athletic publicity board composed of three members. It is the duty of this board to supervise all pep fests, athletic assemblies, and to see that athletics at University High get the proper publicity in the Twin City newspapers. The U” Club also assisted the Senate in raising money for the new trophy case. To win the much prized honor of membership to the U” Club a boy must first win a U” by participation in some interscholastic athletics. When a boy wins his first letter he automatically becomes a member of the club. Care 3$ 19 2 9 THE B I S B I L A 19 2 9 Top roxo: Mcnz, Fischer, Ricck. Kosendahl, Upton.

During the past few years, the Hi Y Club has functioned exceedingly well under the able direction of Mr. Christianson, better known as Sig,” and Dr. Boardman. Throughout this year, with Mr. Jones as faculty adviser, many things have been accomplished. The boys aided the Acme Club in its drive for Thanksgiving baskets. They sponsored the Fathers’ and Sons’ Banquet, contributed toward the Trophy Case, and furnished candy and peanuts for sale at the basket-ball games. The meetings of this organization are held every Wednesday at 4:00 P. M. at the Southeast branch of the University Y. M. C. A. Dr. Boardman and Mr. Jones have repeatedly earned the gratitude cf the club by their able assistance and willing cooperation.

The one thing that the orchestra tried to make a point of this year was to have better book material to work with. Last year there was quite a shortage of music so that the orchestra had to take almost anything that could be found which was fit for a high school orchestra and that the University could spare. This year, the class has been provided with a new set of selections which will give it sufficient work and pleasure for quite some time. With the production of Daddy Long Legs” on November the twenty-third, came an opportunity to play and also at the presentation of the Messiah.” There was room for much improvement when it first started practices with the glee club for this production, because the music was more difficult than anything that had been undertaken before and the orchestra is handicapped by the lack of variety of instruments. But with a few University students supplementing, the performance went over very well. Tone 40 junior men 19 2 9 THE B I S B I L A 19 2 9 The Junior High School A SUCCESSFUL innovation was made in the organization of University High School the past year—provisions were made for the addition of the seventh and eighth grades which, together with the ninth grade, constitute the Junior High School. The three upper classes make up the Senior High School. The Junior High School has been organized in much the same manner as the Senior group: they have their organizations, their Senate, and their assemblies. Only occasionally are the two groups brought together in joint assemblies and in the support of contests to uphold the honor of U. H. S. The Junior High School pupils have taken a commendable interest in the activities pertaining to the High School as a whole. They have loyally supported athletic contests, dramatic presentations, and social events; and they have not been outdone by the upperclassmen in subscribing to school publications. This section is, therefore, gladly set aside for the presentation of the Junior High School classes and student activities, together with accounts of their progress and interests.

Our natural vivacity was not long in asserting itself, however, chiefly due to the unusual kindness of the sophomores, juniors, and seniors, and that of the equally green seventh and eighth graders. About the time we had collected our wits and started to know some of our classmates, the first class meeting was called. Mr. Johnson presided, in spite of us, until the officers had been elected. At the second conclave, the dues were decided upon, not without numerous arguments, however. Ever since that day, the treasurer has led a harassed life. Since then we have met two times, and the results have been fifteen dollars voted to the Trophy Case Fund, and a sleigh ride party. That party! Will we ever forget it? Everyone is still arguing about the number of times Mr. Johnson’s face was washed. We can’t give you material proof, unless you’ve been bumped into in our wild race for knowledge, but I know everyone will agree that we’re the noisiest, peppiest class in U. High.

The Seventh Grade Betty Boyd..............................President Dorothy Stark - Vice-President Carrol Turnacliff - Secretary John Hedback - Treasurer WE CAME to University High as eighteen frightened boys and girls, wondering whether we could find our way home—if we could navigate through the throngs of Juniors and Seniors, intermingled with other eighth and ninth grade freshmen” such as ourselves. Miss Stokes, who had been appointed our adviser, came to our rescue and helped us get our bearings” the first few days. As the days went by and we had a few parties, we came to know one another better, also to lose some of our awe of the upperclassmen. Then clubs were organized, and our own senate was selected—so all in all, we came to feel that we had always been here, and that we had a definite place in the High School. Probably because we were the first seventh grade to inhabit University High, we had to accustom ourselves to being called the babies on the campus” and hearing jokes about being stepped on.” Consequently we are looking forward to being Eighth graders next year and being able to enjoy the worries of the seventh graders who succeed us.

During the first few weeks, the Glee Club was scarcely more than a group of unorganized voices, but under the patient and hopeful direction of Mr. Jones, it has progressed considerably. Aside from singing at assemblies, it did not undertake to make public appearances, but during the early part of the Spring Quarter, under the direction of Mr. Listiak, the club prepared to compete with several other junior high school glee clubs in the State Music Contest. This was the event of the year in the estimation of the members of the Glee Club. Page 4$ 19 2 9 THE It I $ K I L A 19 2 9 Top row. Younjwuist. Siegel, Comfort. King, Armstrong, I tiirop.

Junior High French Club THE French Club met every day during the fall and winter quarters under the direction of Mrs. Sundeen. The members, eighteen eighth and seventh graders, after mastering the necessary words, were given pictures about which they originated stories in French. An attempt to make use of a combined grammar and story book, formerly used in the city high schools, about a little French boy did not prove to be much of a success because of its difficulty. Some French songs were learned, and a great part of the time was spent in playing interesting games. The object of the club is to simplify the foreign languages for those students beginning a practical study of them in the ninth grade.

Junior High German Club THE inauguration of the German Club in University Junior High began a new and painless process of studying that foreign language. Seventh and eighth graders interested in German were eligible for membership in the club, and meetings were held every day during activities period throughout the fall and winter quarters. No officers were elected since meetings were carried on as a class rather than an organization. Miss Will was in charge of the German Club. By use of wall charts, vocabularies were learned; and during the period all conversation was in German. Games were played, and folk dances to accompany German songs were learned. The club was a success, and in the future it will be attempted to make an arrangement by which credit will be given. '.ise C 19 2 9 THE BISBILA 19 2 9 Top row: Miller, Robinson.

Dramatic Club Gail Peck -Betty Ruth Lawrence Eleanor Lathrop Marjorie Bassett Mrs. Nethercott - President Vice-president Secretary T reasurer Adviser MEETINGS of the Junior High Dramatic Club were held only during the fall and winter quarters, but the work accomplished surprised the entire school by its excellency. The principles of acting were taught through small playlets, and pantomime. However, it was not long before the Dramatic Club was entertaining at assemblies. Perhaps the two best known plays presented were, False Pretenses, by Warren Beck, and The Knave of Hearts, by Louise Saunder. Everyone remembers the small children at the orphan’s home in the play, Daddy Long Legs. All those parts were taken by members of the Junior High Dramatic Club. The big chance came, however, at the time of the vaudeville, when the Junior High Club was asked to present a whole production. The play chosen was Imagination—one to be long remembered not only for its clever plot but its well portrayed characters. During the latter part of the winter quarter, the versatile members of the club even attempted play writing; the result of which, Mrs. Nethercott tells us, may prove that U” High has several geniuses waiting to be discovered.

However, those who joined, eighteen in all, were interested only in crafts; so the science end was dropped, at least for this year. Although all Junior High boys were eligible, sixteen of the eighteen members were ninth graders. The club was organized the first part of the winter quarter. The only officer elected was a president for each quarter. Gillette Elvgren was chosen for the winter quarter; William Yale, for the spring term. It was found that tastes differ, for when the boys were allowed to make what they chose, everything from aeroplanes to boats resulted. A group interested in stage scenery helped the Dramatic Club and greatly added to the properties of a number of high school productions. The trophy case in which the orchestra sat at the Senate’s Trophy Case Dance,” was made by members of the Tech Club. Quite a number who were studying Ivanhoe” were siezed with a knightly impulse and produced wooden shields which were shown at the class demonstration.

Girls’ Club Jane Wilson - President Betty Ruth Lawrence - - Vice-president Anne Boardman - Secretary Marjorie Bassett - - Treasurer Miss Clark - Adviser THE Junior High Girls’ Club, organized by the Senior High Girls’ Club, proved, before the close of its first year of existence, that it was capable of standing on its own feet.” Early in the year, through the Girls’ Club, a party was planned and carried out. The whole Junior High met at the Minnesota Union for an afternoon of games and dancing and for an opportunity to get acquainted. The traditional Mothers’ Teas,” that the Senior High has known so well, have become an institution in the Junior High Girls’ Club as well. A brand new carpet sweeper and dust mop were purchased by the Junior High Girls’ Club for use in the club room. I;or these the members of the Senior Club were very appreciative. The Mothers’ and Daughters’ Banquet was even more of a success because of the aid given by the Junior Club. I’a nr y 19 2 9 THE B I S B I L A 19 2 9 To,r rote: Fruen, Johnson, Johnson, C., Firestone.

This new musical organization was formed and directed by Mr. A. Pepinsky of the College of Education. Through it, the Junior High School was provided with music by their own organization for their assemblies and programs. The members deserved commendation for their regular attendance at rehearsal, and the persistence with which they practised. The group made excellent progress, and attained a high degree of skill in orchestral presentation. Ta e si 19 2 9 THE BISBILA 19 2 9 Junior High School Senate Wm. Pagenkoff Donald Robinson Martha Stanfield -Mr. Johnson - President Vice-President Secretary and Treasurer Adviser AT THE first extra-curricular period of this school year, Dr. Board-man met with the members of the Junior High School classes and outlined the needs for, and duties of, a senate. Each class elected representatives as follows: ninth grade—four; eighth grade—two; seventh grade—one. Immediately after organization, officers were elected and work was begun. The senate whose constitution has not yet been completed is following the pattern set by the Senior High. Accomplishments thus far have included consideration of minor disciplinary matters, an excellent party given by the Senate to all Junior High students, a sale of school buttons, the profit of which went toward the trophy case, and the management of one entire Junior High assembly. Page $2 . V m 19 2 9 THE BISBILA 19 2 9 Athletics CAN one imagine a normal high school without athletics? As easily one may imagine boys and girls without energy. Various types of athletic exercises, games, and contests serve as outlets for abundant energy, the development of physical prowess, and the acquisition of all the principles of good sportsmanship. University High in the field of sports offers a wide diversity, so that both boys and girls may enter into the type of athletic activity they prefer. Large numbers availed themselves of the opportunities offered and never did a first team find itself without a second team for opposition in practise. The past year has brought a number of victories and some losses— both of which were accepted with the highest type of sportsmanship, not only by the teams but also by the student supporters of the teams. The girls did not participate in interscholastic events, but developed talents through inter-class contests. The records and results of both boys and girls’ participation in the various sports are herein faithfully recounted. Page ft 19 2 9 THE B I S B I L A 19 2 9 Top row: Peterson.

Football UNDER the tutelage of Coach Peterson and the captaincy of Don Reick, the University Eligh football team completed another successful season during the fall of 1928. With seven lettermen reporting and much other good material, Pete,” as he is called by the boys whom he coaches, built up a strong offensive team. The team succeeded in winning all but one of the district games, finishing in second place in the district. The game which decided the championship between U” High and Mound, went to Mound by the slim margin of a 13 to 12 score. Again at Northfield, the boys put up a hard fight, but Northficld won the game by a decisive count. This year for the first time, the coaches in the Lake District chose an All-Conference Team. Four U” High men, Reick, Erskine, Sherman, and Barrons, were honored with selection for the first team, while two, Menz and Mueller, were given second team positions. As a climax to a very successful season, twenty letters were awarded to as many boys, and a large silver football with the names of the lettermen and the scores of the games engraved on it was presented to the team on behalf of the school.

Basket-Ball WITH only two lcttermen, Sherman and Captain Barrons, Coaches Pfeiffer and Peterson faced a very difficult situation. Also due to the continual loss of games, interest in basket-ball had fallen to a very low point. Therefore it was with the two objectives—of winning the games and renewing interest—that the team was set upon a hard and long schedule. Mound and Wyzata fell before the U” High cagers, and the St. Louis Park game was lost by a narrow margin of less than four points, which indicated the strength of the team this year. The future looks promising because of the array of sophomore talent which should make a championship team in another season. With MacMillan, Bengston, Fitch, Anderson, and Sherman, there should be no difficulty in attaining this goal. Pag M 19 2 9 THE BISBILA 19 2 9 Peterson, Dcvancy, Sherman, Kent, Perry, Giblin, Shaw. Track LAST year, due more to friendly rivalry than desire for a track team, a track delegation went to Mound High School and succeeded in taking second place in the relay meet and won a trophy for the 440 yard relay. Shaw, Sherman, Giblin and Ramar showed off to advantage by bringing to the school its first track trophy. Later the boys went to Hutchinson, and Perry, Captain of the team, qualified for the State Meet. This year, with the announcement that there would be no baseball team, track loomed as a major sport, and, with the tutelage of Edgar Pficffer, the relay team, consisting of Harris, Aldrich, Pagenkopf and Sherman, took first place in the 880 yard relay. A very promising feature about this year’s track team was the large number of underclassmen who came out for practice, and who, in time will be, some predict, among the fastest men in the state. U” High participated in the Carlton, Hamline, and Mound relays, also the District, Regional, Hutchinson, and State meets. 1‘ugc 56 19 2 9 THE B I S B I L A 19 2 9 Top row: Baker. Pouchcr, Mcars, A.

Swimming THE usual success and glory which surrounded the swimming team, was noticeably missing this year, but the boys who are to be the future swimming stars of U” High, made an auspicious beginning by maintaining a 500 J average, which is very good for a team with only two veterans. Tom Sherman and Dick Pouchcr found, on calling the first practice, that there was a great deal of undeveloped talent in the school, and with the help of Joe Osborne, they proceeded to make good use of it, and they came through to win from Humboldt and Johnson High Schools of St. Paul. Arnold Mueller, the only senior on the team, proved a consistent point earner and, in the breast stroke, accounted for himself very well. Donald Oas proved that, with additional experience, he will be a contender of more than ordinary ability. Zon, Sherman, Mueller, Lewis, Oas, Couper, Bjorklund and Captain Poucher received letters this year, and will all return next year, with the exception of Mueller.

There are orthopedics, dancing, gym work, swimming, apparatus work, and a basket-ball game. This year the orthopedics class showed its achievement so far in corrective gymnastics. Then the Senior high school demonstrated dancing in the form of the Highland Fling, also gym work and swimming; leaving the apparatus work for the Junior High School. The program closed with the Sophomores, due to having the largest attendance at practices, playing a basket-ball game.

It is the Medicine Man. With a sweep of his hand he throws on the fire a powder. He chants a charm, and a thick cloud of white smoke arises from the fire. Indefinable at first, gradually forms take shape in the white cloud. The future is being revealed! The first shape that becomes visible is a map of the country. Stretching across the country from Atlantx to Pacific, from the Gulf to the Lakes, is a chain of tea stores; at the head office in New York sit the proprietors; they are Adelheide Meiners, Helen Metcalf, Kathryn Molzahn, and Dorothea Egan. Slowly other shapes materialize; they gradually take the form of human beings. Some of them seem familiar. Ah! now we recognize them, the many familiar figures of our old school-mates.

A slight breeze springs up and begins to distort the smoke visions. Where is Marvin McClure? We look in haste lest the cloud be wholly dissipated. The only trace of him we can find while the visions remain is his name interpreted Marion McClure in the stout women’s gym class at the Y. W. C. A. As we get this farewell glimpse the cloud is dispelled, the charm has departed and we watch the wisps of smoke drift lazily between us and the rising moon. We have been visited with the vision, henceforth we must abide the lot of ordinary mortals. Page 64 19 2 9 THE B I S B I L A 19 2 9 Homecoming-The Best Ever BRIGHT lights—long rows of tables—banqueting—gay laughter— witty and clever speeches—dancing—the Union decorated in mar-roon and gold—crowds of people—all these made up University High’s greatest homecoming. This thrilling climax, topping the football game won by U” High over Excelsior, was held at the Minnesota Union on November seventh. Not only did the students, alumni, and faculty of our school enjoy the wonderful repast and celebration, but the parents also participated in the event. The total number of persons attending was about three hundred and fifty, and with this Homecoming, U” High inaugurated the idea of allowing the parents to join in the annual revelry. As Field Judge,” Al Killeen introduced members of the team, parents, and faculty who spoke metaphorically upon football and all its phases; Miss Gold’s witty remarks kept the entire body in laughter, especially when she referred to Mr. Jones and handsome young men. As a reward for the splendid work of the team this year, a silver trophy was presented to the school with the name of each member of the squad engraved upon it. Due credit should be given to the Senate and to the adviser, Mr. Tohill, who managed the sparkling event with such efficiency. Helping Mr. Tohill were Clifford Menz, general chairman; Margaret Oehler, in charge of the lovely decorations; Delphine Brooks, the responsibility of the programs; Margaret Reinardy, who had charge of the menu; Gertrude Lawton, in the role of advertising manager; Gordon Brown, who kept the game running smoothly; and Stanley Clark and George Miller, who managed the finances and sold the tickets. Everyone expressed great praise of Homecoming and hailed it as the best ever. Field Day Field day is identified as being that hallowed day of the school year when the Bisbila is issued. When faculty members forget to act peda-gogically. When students cast off their Sunday School attitudes. When alumni forget to parade a patronizing air. When parents become people. When seniors get down from their high horse.”--When every- one becomes unnaturally natural. Then the faculty demonstrates its athletic prowess. Then finicality is discarded and thirsty picnickers flop by the spring for a sip of sandy water. Then hands are blistered and voices become hoarse applauding. Then spotless clothes become spotty and dirty and grass-stained. Then writer’s cramp makes its appearance and fountain pens run dry signing Bisbilas-----Whoopee! Page 6s 19 2 9 THE BISBILA 19 2 9 The Senior Class Play DID YOU see Adam and Ev-------------. No, 'Adam and Eva,’ my dear. You thought I meant the Biblical characters? How could you when the air is full of the Senior Class Play? However—perhaps it wasn’t so funny after all; there really is a likeness, don’t you think? The characters really were in the Garden of Eden at first, when the fullness of the Earth was theirs, or should we say the fullness of their father’s bank account? Then they had to leave it to live on a chicken ranch—or was that really the garden to which they went, where they found life more abundantly? Well, I am sure I can’t say which way you’d consider it, but it really was the best class play--every one says so. And did you ever see a play so well cast? Didn’t each one live his or her part? Yes, indeed, I am sure Mrs. Nethercott is a wonderful coach— yes, the pupils all swear by her. It was a lovely pen and pencil set, wasn’t it? You saw the writeup in the City papers, of course?—No, one didn’t need to read that to know it was good when one had been in the audience and seen and felt their reactions. Yes, I should say the stage setting was lovely and complete, and the dresses, my dear, weren’t they lovely? Marion Gold and Miss Holmberg had charge of properties. You didn’t know some of the characters? Let me see—Keith Barrons was Adam; Ruth Burkhard, Eva; Lee Loev-inger, Mr. King, the father; Albertine Arth, Julie DeWitt; Clifford Menz, Clinton DeWitt; Arnold Meuller, Lord Andrew Gordon; George Miller, Dr. Delameter; Margaret Reinhardy, Aunt Abby Rocker; Anne Armstrong, Corinthia, the maid; and Ray Pcpinsky, Horace Pilgrim, the uncle. -----Yes, all were so splendid, weren’t they? I just had to call someone to talk it over; I love to think about it! Yes. Goodbye.” Page 66 19 2 9 THE B1SBILA 19 2 9 Standing: Itjorklund, on, Short, Kittleson, Nethercott, Maher, Williams, Gear, Brackett, Pepinsky, Koaendahl. Seated: Grobe, Nordland.

Daddy Long Legs THE most pretentious undertaking of the dramatic clubs was the presentation of Daddy Long Legs,” by Jean Webster. Members of both the Senior and Junior High School dramatic clubs took part in the production. The characters were well chosen, and the parts unusually well portrayed, from the inmates of the orphanage to the adult characters of the play. The unusual plot and happy ending of the play plus the excellent interpretation by the actors made the performance one long to be remembered and enjoyed by those privileged to see it. To Mrs. Nethercott belongs the credit for the excellence of the production. Page 67 19 2 9 THE B I S B I L A 19 2 9 THE WEDDING Corneveaux, Perry, Von Coin, Fisk, Menz, Sherman, Grobe.

Oh, yes, they all PRETEND to use you, but really it’s just an excuse to talk to someone at the table on which you arc sitting. Really, Webby, you are much too fat to be popular,” commented Etty. You could stand to use 'Marmoda tablets’ yourself, Etty,” retorted the dictionary in a very sarcastic tone. Well, I am tall and carry it well—but you are almost as fat and wide as you are tall,” came back Etty. People who live in glass houses should---- Should use window-shades, of course,” finished Etty in a triumphant tone, which caused Webby to look quite squelched, and he wiped two big tears out of his optics and muttered something about going where he’d be appreciated. Then Etty started to reminisce. Just the other day Mary Gold was reading me—she read the part telling about how to accept a proposal, she kept muttering with a dangerous glint in her eye, that it didn’t No response. Webby had dozed off. A sharp kick in the shin aroused him and he sat up and muttered, No, no, indeed.” Another well directed kick caused him to say, Yes.” For a few peaceful moments then Webby rubbed the injured part------he felt quite as if a mule had kicked him, only you can kick a mule back. Etty was one of those kind who thought the nickle that had been dropped in her was a quarter, and she aimed to give the money’s worth. She started again saying, It’s so necessary these days to know which piece of silverware to use at the table, Mr. Rulon-- I know how some men get such big vocabularies,” said Webby interrupting her with malice, they marry them.” YOU may be a gambler, but you surely haven’t winning ways,” sputtered Etty. As I was saying,” she continued, Mr. Rulon read chapters and chapters in me. Between you and me, I think it will do him good too. I heard him tell Miss Busian that at a real ritzy dinner one night, he ate his salad with a spoon and then had to drink his soup with a fork. I just know he must have appreciated that, Etty,” remarked Webby. I do so like a well mannered person,” said Etty rather significantly. You’re Irish aren’t you? That’s why you aren’t susceptible to refinement.” Etty loved to make cracks at poor Webby’s nationality. (Personally we think she was jealous.) Now I am Scotch and--------- This time Webby got even. Scotch did you say?” he inquired. Well, don’t boast about it------you’re wasting your breath.” A bell—much noise and confusion. It was time for the first class before Etty had a chance to give Webby an awfully dirty look. Page 70 19 2 9 THE BISBILA 19 2 9 The Detention Class I SUPPOSE I was asked to write about this tender subject because of the numerous times I have sojourned there. There seems to be a subtle sort of sarcasm about that statement, that somehow makes me wonder if I always shall be open to criticism. During the day the Detention room (112......... in case you have not had occasion to learn this) betrays no sign of the double life it leads, but after 3:21 l P:M you can simply feel the air of freedom disappear. My own opinion of this class could not be printed without seriously injuring the minds and morals of the readers. I have learned that if Mr. Stokes is in charge of the room, it is possible to catch up on back math, assignments. Of course that is possible only if Mr. Stokes is in a genial mood (please don’t think that it is every day that I am able to do this). Was it Dickens who wrote about a cheery classroom with smiling, cheery-faced children eagerly doing their school work? Who ever it was, I can only say that he has never seen that detention class. Most of the students fall sound asleep. Of course not all of them do—some of them have insomnia, or else they are next to the window. Every little while there will be a flurry among those fortunate people, and the rest of us learn second-hand that Peggy or Delphine just entered the law-building. At such news I usually crane my neck to see the object of interest--------after which I drowsily resume my former position and soon am pounding my ear” again. When I leave these oak garlanded halls of learning (prolonged snickering from the back of the room) I shall carry two vivid memories with me. The first of these was the time someone turned off all of the hot water in the shower-room, and the second is the peaceful hours I have spent in the arms of Morpheus in the Detention class where I was able to forget all of my cares and worries. —G.

First, we do hereby appoint as our executor with full power and authority to sell, convey, and otherwise dispose of any and all property, real, personal or mixed, wheresoever situated and of whatsoever nature, one Charles W. Boardman (whom we deem to be of an executive nature). Keith Barrons leaves his way with Girls’ Club presidents to Gordon Brown and Fred Rosendahl. Eveleth Blomquist wills her spare time to any good looking young man. Jules Meyer wills his artistic marcel to any of the Junior High girls who may need it. Steve Harris leaves his knowledge of indoor sports” to Bert Sherman and Chuck Giblen and incidentally leaves The Lowdown” in their care. George Miller wills his dignified demeanor and repartee to Charles Ross and Fred Metcalf. Mary Field leaves her knowledge of parliamentary law to Al Killeen. Ruth Burkhard leaves to Lois Williams a paper on How to Become a Successful Stage Lover.” Lee Loevinger bequeaths, with all formality, his power of expression to Jane Dicks, and his mustache to Adelbert Aldrich. Charles Jones and Alberta Fha will be leaving together, much to the disappointment of some of the Freshmen. Dan Grates bequeaths his desire to dance with tall slim girls to Bill Devaney, who can use it. Peggy Ebert wills her way with the gentlemen to Fern Fisk. Conrad Carlson bequeaths some extra inches to Gould Johnson. Mildelon Fischer wills his angelic grin to Eleanor Heck. Elwood Johnson leaves an endowment for chewing gum, to be bought for all history students by Miss Gold. Lastly, the Class of 1929 bequeaths to the Class of 1930 the harrass-ment, expense, worry, and dignity, which is the heritage of seniors, as well as the responsibility for the proper administration of the school, asking in return only several dozen lots of green hats. To the faculty, the Class of 1929 leaves the care of the junior highites, whom the seniors have taken so much care to avoid stepping on. And to the school we leave the well nigh impossible task of selecting sixty persons of as great athletic prowess, as high a standard of intelligence, of as much spirit, initiative, and good looks, as the Class of 1929 has displayed (for we greatly fear lest our place be unworthily filled). In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hand and seal this 13th day of June, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-nine. —SEAL— THE CLASS OF 1929 .
