Accomplishment was the watchword of the Juniors this | ast year. Where would the football team have been without them? juniors were the backbone of the basketball team; their showings in swimming and other athletics were gratifying. Hoys and girls alike made an enviable record in the Glee Club, German Club, and Dramatic Club; Juniors had capable representatives on the Breeze, Senate, Bisbila, and numerous other activities. ’Mid soft lights and melodious music, the J. S., the most important social function of the year, culminated a successful social season. Based on the record of achievement of the past year, it is highly probable that the juniors will be able to maintain the high standards set by departed and departing Seniors in scholastic and athletic achievements.

Great interest was taken in athletics among the girls; tennis, ping-pong, and golf seemed to be top-ranking. In the Glee Club’s presentation. “The Mikado, the class had the distinction of furnishing a lead and an understudy, as well as many members of the chorus. Through the efforts of the president and secretary, the class had many fine parties. At the home of Elaine Halstead, a very enjoyable scavenger hunt was given. tatcr a ski party was held at Eaton’s Ranch. This was, perhaps, more painful for some, but just as much fun. In May the class had a pow-wow at Kelley’s Farm. This was the final party of an especially active and successful social season.

Carl Cummins won his letter playing in the high school games; John Donovan and Carl Cummins won places on the second team in basketball and the other boys were in an intra-mural tournament. Some boys entered wrestling meets. Spring quarter attracted the bays to baseball and track. The girls swam, played basketball, tennis, and golf, while a few girls were members of the tumbling team that performed at the carnival. Ninth graders taking a language belonged to the French, German, or Latin Club. Students who had musical talents joined the Music Club, others band or orchestra, and the rest Glee Club. Some members of the class worked with puppets in the Puppet Club. Many of the boys joined the newly formed Hi-Y Club; others did a small business with the Camera Club. The girls were all active in the Junior High Girls’ Club, giving a Sunlight which was 3 great success. A Mothers’ Tea was given and enjoyed by everyone.

Many eighth graders attended the sparkling Sunlight dance. There have been two very successful class meetings. The eighth grade went on many interesting trips as part of the unified curriculum. They visited the state capitol. Armour’s packing plant, the Minneapolis Tribune, the Minneapolis Telephone Company, and many stores.

One activity which especially interested members was the production of a puppet show, “Romeo and Juliet, for which students constructed the stage, lighting, etc. This was done in connection with the Puppet Club. Other members of the class have taken pan in intra-mural athletics, music, and other activities.

HP HERE were many features to make this year s “Breeze an outstanding one. Successful editorial cam-paigns were waged for a typing class for U Highitcs, a school carnival, and one for safe driving. A new headline schedule featuring ragged heads was perfected, greatly adding to the appearance of the paper. Students enjoyed reading the series of interviews by Anne Cullen and Jean Lcvich; they laughed with Hclgcborg Bjornsdattcr (Rosemary Jcmne) in her column of comment on school affairs; they learned with the aid of Will o’ The Whisper, whose identity remains secret, what was going on “behind the headlines' at U. High. A book column, a column of “Fadabouts and a series by guest columnists made the feature page an interesting one. Besides all this, this year’s “Breeze is the first one in several years to “break even” financially. That they have produced a good “Breeze” and kept it out of the red are two things of which this year’s staff is very proud. The “Breeze” received a first class honor rating in the National Scholastic Press Association judging.

It also planned and took charge of two lunch rooms. In these lunch rooms milk and orangeade were sold to the students. This year for the first time the Senate sent three representatives to the convention of the Northwest Federation of Student Councils, which was held in St. Cloud, Minnesota.

The Boys’ U” Club President - Kiciiard Van Bergen Vice-President..............................................................Arthur Seder Secretary...................................................................Grandel Jones Advisor...................................................................Mr. J. E. Curtis ONE of the most versatile and vivacious groups of students at University High School is the Boys’ “U” Club. During the past year the club has influenced and been responsible for many worth while projects and accomplishments in school athletics. Mr. Curtis, the advisor of the club from the first to the present time, is quoted as saying that the members of the organization arc from the “cream of the crop.” A glance back over the past season’s athletic records will indicate that one of the prime purposes of the Boys’ “U” Club, that of arousing interest in athletic contests, has been well achieved. Among the other purposes of the club was the desire to encourage a feeling of camaraderie among the members. This desire was chiefly attained by the monthly dinners meetings, at which time the reports of committees were made, and business transacted. In the way of social activities the “U” Club sponsored the highly successful Nile Club at the All-School Carnival, and gave a dinner dance late in the Spring Quarter. The membership of the ”U” Club is composed of boys who have won a major sports letter for the participation in track, football, basketball, or swimming at U. High. These requirements promote all-round good fellowship among the active and athletically-minded boys of the school. It may be well said that the “U” Club has just completed one of the most successful seasons since its founding. This has no doubt been accomplished through the untiring efforts of the club’s friend and leader, Mr. James E. Curtis. THE 1937 PACE 27 L B I S B I L A BACK ROW Quail, ftHowt. Gilman. Heneman.

The annual German Club party for parents and students was one of the high spots of the year and was enthusiastically attended. This year, 1936-1937, introduced a new feature into the list of German Club interests—that of awarding a scholarship to the most outstanding German student, chosen from the point of scholarship, leadership, and fellowship as well as interest in things German. This scholarship covers one quarter’s tutition at University High School. This award is made by the principal at Commencement. This year’s winner was Janet Mogilner. The German Club membership includes all members of German classes, and since there arc no dues, the funds in the treasury arc raised by bi-weekly hot dog sales. The club was ably directed by Miss Lucy Will, head of the German Department. THE 1937 B I S B I L A PAGE 28 NIMH ROW—-Lewit, Lotion. Chatham. David ion. Men. God bout. Hovde. Hunt.

The meetings have been held twice every quarter with interesting and educational entertainment. Picture slides of the “Voyages of Aeneas were shown at one meeting. The club gave a Roman banquet on May 5th at the Minnesota Union and food was served in true Roman style. Professor Marbury B. Ogle, head of the Latin Department at the University was the guest speaker. The club dues arc fifty cents or fifty cookies. The cookies have served a double purpose: to stave oil starvation in the morning Latin classes and to earn money for the club. The proceeds arc being used to purchase some slides for the school. Last year, before the club was organized, the Latin classes earned enough money to buy the Roman Life Charts in Room 112. The purpose of the club is to promote an interest in Latin and to encourage the students to continue the study of Latin beyond the first or second years.

Its purpose is to slim ulatc interest in France. Any senior high school student who is taking one year of French is entitled to become a member. The club’s first party was a Christmas party in the French fashion. Each guest was asked to remove his shoe in order to receive his gift in his sabot.” The junior high French students presented a playlet, and the party ended with the singing of French carols. The French Club’s concession at the County Fair was called the “Boulevards of Paris. The show, complete with apache dancers, torch singers, and a fan dancer, turned out to lie a great success from the standpoint of both amusement and money making. Most of the money which the club made came from the sale of caramelcd apples during the fall and winter quarters. The money made this way is to buy a gift for future French clubs in U. High.

Many new members were admitted after demonstrating their acting ability in tryouts. There arc now almost sixty students in the Dramatic Club. The high point in the club's program of the year was its annual play production. I bis year the junior high group presented Hot Biscuits while the senior high club presented two one-act plays, “Sparkin’ and “The First Dress Suit. The constant aim of the club this year has been to establish correct parliamentary procedure during the meetings, hoping to raise its standard as well as to accomplish more during meetings. The club has adopted its own constitution and elected a parliamentarian to assist the president in carrying on the business of the meeting. Meetings were held twice a quarter; skits or original performances were given by the members. The club was fortunate this year in having Miss Wolfe as advisor. Because of her experience in dramatic work, she was able to give the club many excellent suggestions and do fine work in directing the plays.

Library Board O INCE its organization in 1927 the Library Hoard has functioned as an integral part of U. 1 ligh activities. Compiling bibliographies, helping students with reference questions, placing books on reserve, charging books, shelving them, checking attendance, preparing new books for the shelves, checking files of old magazines, tiling catalog cards, sending out fine notices, and keeping our records straight—these and a host of others arc the tasks devolving upon the thirty members of the Library Hoard, tasks which no librarian could do without their help. In addition to their regular routine duties, members of the Library Hoard have this year given the library such services as helping with the making of the pamphlet tile, cooperating in such studies as the one being made by the University of Chicago on the use of the Encyclopedias, and tabulating information from the Reading Diaries. This year the librarians, Miss Torkelscn and Miss Smith, with the help of Mrs. Wcttlcson, chose the members of the Hoard from the list of applicants last fall, considering in this selection scholarship, sincere desire to help, and the possible value of each person to the library. With service to U. High the primary purpose of such an organization, the members of the Library Hoard have gained much in learning how to use the library, in a thorough familiarity with our hooks and magazines, and consequently in achieving a feeling of “at-homcncss” in what can be the most attractive room in any school.

Debate Squad HE Debate Squad's membership was the largest since debating was introduced at U. High. The debat- ers rapidly absorbed good speaking technique under the able guidance and supervision of Miss Clara Vivian, a student teacher in social science. Miss Vivian used the most modern methods in coaching the group, only one member of which had ever participated in a debate before. The question chosen by all Minnesota high schools was, “Resolved: That all electric utilities Ik gov-crnmcntally owned and operated. The squad followed the procedure of reading informative material upon the subject privately and then collectively making a general brief or outline of the ease. The debaters quickly fell into line and from their pro and con opinions upon the question joined either the negative or affirmative side. Debaters consisted of Burton Biklc anil Alan Hall, who took part in all the U. High negative debates; Don Reilly, Christian Rondcstvedt, Owen Cort, and Arthur Anderson shared in the affirmative portion of the debates. The main event which the debaters took part in was the Minneapolis High School Tournament. In this. Burton Biklc and Alan Hall were defeated by a scant margin by teams that later were victorious in the Northwest Tournament at Omaha. Don Reilly, U. High's only veteran debater, and his less experi-cnccd colleague, Arthur Anderson, won against fair opposition. Owen Cort and Christian Rondcstvedt, though they worked hard, ran up against more experienced opponents and were defeated. All in all, it may Ik stated that considering its inexperience the squad had a successful season. Although they had not always won, the general sentiment was that they had gained valuable training and had enjoyed themselves doing it. THE 1937 B I S B I L A .

Addis T T NIVERSITY HIGH’S first year in the Minneapolis high school chess league was the result of this year’s renewed strenuous activity over the gaming hoards. After a slight decline in members last year, the club, under the helpful advisorship of Mr. Addis, attracted the largest enrollment in its history. With plenty of equipment available, the enlarged enrollment was kept interested. The club’s meetings every Wednesday during fourth hour were occupied in playing, first, a round robin tournament, and second, an elimination tournament. Members of the regular team were picked as a result of these matches. TEAM Li i t tu Rk.iit—Isighton, G. Shaw, Hall, Hally, MacGihhon, Mr. Adiht, Parrish, Rondetredt.

The club grew from the necessity of having some way of organizing the growing interest in candid cameras. Last October, a group of students who were interested in photography but who had very little practical knowledge met to discuss and show their paltry knowledge and to try to learn more about photography together. The club was organized with the expert assistance of Mr. Vaurio, activities became more numerous, and the club gained momentum. By January the club membership had tripled, and the club had already equipped the Physics Laboratory, its meeting place, with a dark room and acquainted the members with the use of it. Several of the members contributed their photographic apparatus to the club and from the club dues chemicals and paper were bought which could be used freely by the members. During the “County Fair” the club managed a photo studio, where pictures were taken and sold. The purposes of the Camera Club arc to acquaint anti educate the members in the use of photographic equipment, to stimulate interest in taking pictures and in the development of various photographic techniques, and, generally, to enable them to take more interesting and life-like photographs.

The aim of the club was to promote more pronounced school spirit. To do this the club drew up a constitution and then later initiated a few more members who they felt could and would help the club. These members were: Art Anderson, Bob Barnum, Lcs Venables, Bob Mann, Bob Lathrop, and Bill Walker. This brought the total membership to eighteen. The full quota set by the constitution is twenty-five, with the stipulation that the members arc to be willing, capable, and liked by all before being asked to join. The first social event will long be remembered by those who participated. It was the sleigh ride at Eaton’s ranch, to which guests were invited. Important later activities were the safety drive and distribution of booklets on the “Next War” by Alexander Woollcott. THE 1937 PACE 39 B I S B I L A Tiimo Row—Fraser. Williams, Sager. Kelsey. R.

With approximately ten members reporting for the band last fall, the prospect was not very bright, but with everyone in the band on a membership drive, the band swelled rapidly to the present high of thirty-two members. The band gave both the Junior and senior high students a chance to see it in action by playing at football and basketball games and presenting concerts to junior and senior assemblies. On March to the band gave a Pop Concert which really was popular. The proceeds of this concert were used to purchase equipment of which the band was badly in need. Assisting Mr. Anfinson this year were the two managers, Cunningham Chatham and James Kelsey. Besides the senior band there is a junior band, which is growing in interest and which is training members to take the places of seniors in the senior band.

The Little (lophers finished ■ - • what might Ik called a disastrous season without winning a game. In fairness to the team, however, it may he said that in no game did the opposing team hold a great advantage over U. High. The team fought hard and was never out of the running, hut the occasional touchdown of an opjsoncnt cost U. High several victories. In only one game was it defeated by a decisive score, which proves that the team made up what it lacked in strength in fighting spirit to hold down its adversaries. At the beginning of the season the team showed good prospects, hopefulness, and anticipated a good season. The players carried this spirit with them when they opened their schedule against Stillwater. The start of the game featured a U. High march down the field for a touchdown, but the fates decreed that this touchdown Ik called back for some minor reason. This caused a complete reversal of U. I ligh’s form and took some of their fighting spirit away from them, which eventually meant Stillwater’s victory. Perhaps if that touchdown had been allowed, U. High would have continued to win that game and maybe others. This, however, is only a theory and we leave it to the team of 1937 to regain U. High’s reputation as a strong football team.

THE 1937 PACE AS B I S B I L A The Season s Record Stillwater UNIVERSITY HIGH opened its season playing the Stillwater eleven on the Prison City's field. The Little Gophers started out to make quick work of their opponents hut were stopped several times inside the opponents' ten yard marker. Although U. High outplayed the Prison City eleven they bowed to a 14-0 defeat. WAYZATA Still feeling the sting of defeat from the week before, the Little Gophers exhibited a fine brand of football against Way ata and scored a touchdown early in the second period but failed to make the conversion. The opponents soon scored a counter and succeeded in scoring the extra point, making the score 7-6 and managing to keep the lead the remainder of the game. Excelsior U. High, overconfident, and with no idea of losing to a team which had not defeated them in the past five seasons, found a much stronger team than they had anticipated. The Excelsior eleven scored three touchdowns and one conversion to U. High’s single counter and the game ended 19-7 for Excelsior. Mound The team journeyed to Mound in high hopes but again failed to break its losing streak. The Mound gridders scored thirteen points in the first half, and during the second half a slight drizzle hindered the handling of the ball, making it impossible for either team to score, and the game ended 13-0. Hopkins The Little Gophers, playing their last home game of the season, were again defeated by a fast stepping Hopkins team which opened up with two counters anti a safety resulting in a 16-0 score. Although unable to score, the home team played a fine game and had to play the entire second half without the aid of Capt. MaeGibbon who had been injured. St. Louis Park Playing in a blinding dirt storm, the gridders were again defeated 25-6. The high point of the game came in the second quarter with three minutes to play when Van Bergen received a kickolT to run eighty yards for a touchdown. Neither team was able to score in the second half. All Star Game This year a new custom was inaugurated in the l-akc Conference. This consists of a post-season football game played between the conference champions and four players from each of the other schools in the conference. Capt. John MaeGibbon, Dick Van Bergen, Art McNce and Bill McKonc represented U. High in this first game, which the “All Stars won by three touchdowns. Jack Gaver was voted the most valuable player by his teammates and was presented an award by the Minneapolis Star. THE 1937 B I S B I L A PACE 46 Hack How—Coach Curti , luithrop. Scott, llarton.

Basketball r | A HE 1937 University High basketball team upset all precedents and captured the first I-akc Conference championship the school has ever had. Officially, University High tied with Hopkins, but U. High beat Hopkins in the District Tournament to win the unofficial playoff for the title. Although losing two conference games, University High enjoyed beating every team in the league twice, for they met and defeated Excelsior (who had previously defeated them), in the sub-district tournament. Led by Captain Jones, one of the most outstanding players this school has produced, the team swept through its schedule playing consistently good ball, having only one letdown when they were beaten by Excelsior. Unfortunately, however, they had one bad night in the District meet which meant that they were eliminated, but this did not greatly mar their fine record. Next year’s squad proves that it will also be a potential factor in the conference race, with four returning lcttcrmcn. Cranny Jones, Captain, and outstanding performer for the U. High basketball team, was chosen on the all conference team unanimously for the second time in the same number of years. Jones also was chosen on the all district team. Art Seder was honored on the conference second team. THE 1937 Tkam—Pagenltopl, MacCiihhon, Jones, Seder, Utile. PACE 47 B I S B I L A Back Row—Coach Curtis. Pagenkopf. Karats. Wortham. Wietho(J.

B I S B I L A PACE 50 Girls’ Athletics IRLS at University High School can look back on many interesting hours spent in sports during the year 1936-37. Under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Zimmer! i an extensive program was worked out to suit the inclinations of every girl, and since gym was again a required subject, those inclinations were many and varied. In the fall quarter basketball played the important role. Two classes were held during the fourth hour every Monday and Thursday, one for beginners and one for more experienced players. Games between University High and Derham Hall, played both in the Women's Gym and in the gymnasium of the Hall, added interest to this sport. Despite the fact that U. High players were usually the vanquished they thoroughly enjoyed the games and hope that basketball games between U. High and Derham Hall will become an annual custom. Tap dancing, swimming, indoor archery, and basketball were the classes attended in the winter quarter, with special interest shown in tap dancing. These classes, while not new to U. High, were very enjoyable and served to stimulate interest in gym, which naturally lags during the winter quarter. Also, the basketball games with Derham Hall were continued to the end of the quarter. With spring came an even more varied program of athletic activities; more classes were held outside as the weather became warmer. Golf, tennis, archery, and swimming were the classes attended. The swimming class was held under the direction of Miss Zimincrli, who conducted the class for those girls who were inexperienced swimmers. This was a new class and met with great success. An advanced golf group under Mr. Stan Larson waited until spring so that they could start playing on the University course, while a beginners’ class practiced in the gym and on the field behind it before playing actual games. During the winter quarter the Girls’ U Club became very active. Much interest was stimulated by a point system for membership. Arrangements were made so that girls could spend free hours playing ping-pong, badminton, basketball, and roller skating. Besides getting enjoyment from time spent this way, points toward the 25 needed for U Club membership were gained. Many girls soon became members, and the club grew in size and popularity. A tennis tournament was sponsored by the club during the spring quarter, and a tennis breakfast held in May was well attended. This year, sports for girls at University High School have been more interesting than ever before. The department has developed remarkably and has the sincere interst and support of all U. High girls. THE 1937 PACE 51 B I S B I L A Minor Sports 117 RESTLING was introduced into the state high school league this year. In the first state wrestling meet, held at the University of Minnesota during the winter quarter, U. High placed fourth. Whitmore scored a second in his weight and Bill McKonc placed third in the heavyweight class. U. High was also represented by a golf team this year. Walker. Parrish, Little, I«athrop, Kelley, Pagen-kopf, and George Shaw were the leaders in this sport. Intra-mural Athletics A GAIN this year Mr. Curtis arranged a fine intra-mural athletic program for boys who did not wish to • • engage in varsity competition. However, the interest aroused over some of the sports was so great that varsity men entered, too, playing side by side with the others. In the fall, touch football headlined the activities. In the winter, it was basketball, which was climaxed by a championship game between the best fourth and seventh hour teams. The fourth hour team won the championship. Intramural kittcnhall teams were arranged in the spring quarter gym classes, and a round robin tournament was played. The purpose of intra-mural activities is to give every boy a chance to play in the game he likes best. This purpose was fulfilled to a high degree this year, which means chances for continuing this type of program next year arc very good. THE 1937 Feature Section Dear Bisbilans: The following pages have been intentionally allowed to remain uncut. You arc requested to leave them as such for at least ten years. Then, when you do read the ensuing contents, you will find that they furnish a thread of fond recollection back to the days of your high school past. Remember: How Anne Barnett achieved fame as the only “Breeze” scandal columnist ever to receive a bona fide complaint; some of her gags were really good even if they did come from “Joe Miller’s Joke Book.” The miracle of how Owen Cort’s hobby of tooting his trumpet with one paw and driving his car with t’other never got him into trouble. When Muriel Berkus was the spirit of the Fast American Females (FAF) personified; her typical line, quote, “Oh, please, please. Mister, won’tcha' buy a nice red ticket to the FAF dance?” Hank Doerr’s acrimonious struggle to keep pace with his younger brothers. When Allison Easton, the school's gum chewcris-simo, established by survey how many types of cud” might exist in one drinking fountain.
