THE 1939 BISBILR PUBLISHED BY THE SEDIOR CLASS OF UI1IVERSITY HIGH SCHOOL minnEflPOLis, minnESOTti DR. tUILLIflm S. CflRLSOn, DIRECTOR £ Dr. William S. (Carlson knows his stones — in fact, Stone is probably his middle name. He earned a Doctor of Philosophy degree at Michigan with a thesis in geology and was chosen as a member of an expedition sponsored by the University of Michigan to make an aerolo ical and geological survey in Greenland, an expedition which lasted fourteen months. Later he went on another expedition to Greenland sponsored by the I niversity of Michigan and Carnegie Institute. He studied some more geology at the University at Copenhagen but University High School owes its good fortune in having him Director to the fact that he has been absorbed also in the study of the science of education — at Michigan and Columbia, lie has held teaching posts at the University of Michigan and has been principal of schools at Wakefield and East Lansing. Michigan. I he Explorer's Club has made him a member, and the American Scandinavian Foundation has honored him with a Fellowship. With all his honors Dr. Carlson is still a young man ami is obviously destined for greater things to come. The members of the (.lass of 1939 have every reason to be proud of their distinguished director. JfifllES E. CURTIS, DEfln OF BOYS To Mr. James E. Curtis, Dean of Boys and Coach of Athletics, the Senior Class dedicates the 1939 Bisbila. Mr. Curtis was himself a graduate of the University High School and of the University of Minnesota. Mis Master of Arts degree he received at the University of Wisconsin, and at present he is working for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, the requirements for which he has almost completely fulfilled. After being graduated from the University, Mr. Curtis filled for two years the position of Athletic Director and Coach at the State Teachers’ College of Madison, South Dakota. It was in the following year. 1931, that he came to this school, where for eight years he has played a most important role, that of directing and guiding the boys in their athletic activities and of coaching all sports. Last year an additional duty was imposed upon him — a new office in the school — that of Dean of Boys. In addition to his official obligations, Mr. Curtis enjoys greatly hunting, fishing, and, of course, all kinds of sports. FACULTY Babcock, Gladys W. -Boudkye. Mason R.

The school's newly instituted policy of home-room interested the seventh-graders greatly, and they planned many interesting programs, obtaining speakers from the senior high school to inform them about prominent school activities in which they might look forward to participating in the future. Enjoyable social activities were also planned by this enterprising class, including a skating party in February. Eighth Grade AT the class meetings of the eighth grade it was attempted to give each member an enjoyable time. Varied programs were held, which included a joke court, interesting talks, and plays given by members of the class. The class of 1944 went democratic and chose to be governed by a congress.

Advanced Archery and an Individual activity class were offered as alternatives. This individual activity class was an experiment this year and included such sports as tumbling, rope-climbing, badminton, bowling, and shuffleboard. The stars in the basketball section were Betty Heneman, Jane Goodsill, Jeanne Groth, Frances Glockler, and Barbara Kosenholtz. Baseball, Archery and Riflery were the best activities offered in the spring quarter. Although Baseball was the most popular this spring. Riflery was a very valuable course to have.

An enjoyable afternoon was spent by the girls with the various competitive games. A Ski d rain was promoted in the winter which gave the snow-minded individuals a chance to show their skill. At the Carnival, a successful popcorn-ball concession was held by the feminine I ” Club.

Bill Clapp, who was to have played Psmith, was taken ill with a temperature of 103— whereupon Mr. Voelkcr lost his mind and started tearing out his hair by the handful. Then, like a Hash he knew! He went to work and feverishly began to train Fred Klawon. who was originally scheduled to appear as the Lift Man. Fred came through in fine style and really gave an excellent performance. Two of the high spots of the whole thing were when W ashburn and U. High reciprocated dress rehearsal visits. Our theatrical rivals. Washburn, also presented “Leave it to Psmith'' by P. G.. etc., and on the same night as our exhibition, mind you! They really saw us at our most humorous moments. Quote Mr. Yoel-ker; (before Washburn’s arrival) “If we don't give Washburn anything else we ll give them a few laughs. I nquote—how true, how true. The actors had to call upon their agility to sidestep all falling scaffolding, flying paint, plus or minus brushes. Hying people, etc., during the rehearsal. Another high point in every rehearsal was when Marge Boquist and Nancy Shadbolt lunged at each other with that fierce gleam of determination in their eyes. Then work ceased while loud gales of laughter echoed from every corner of the theater. It brought down the house every time! Due to Bill’s temporary incapacitation, Fred stepped out of the Lift Man’s shoes, leaving some empty shoes walking around the stage, which looks pretty silly if you've ever seen it. Ah. woe ... ah. misery .. . when lo and behold who should walk through the door but Pete Temple (class of ’38) to climb into the shoes, which he did very well. Some of the best fun that was ever had in all history was had during rehearsals and at the play. Here’s to the show!!!! B I S B I LA PACE 49 Swing Vocabulary Alligator—Swing addict.

And all me jolly little buddies. Youse keep me from my all important studies. In English I am given lowly marks. Because of last week's batty larks. And now I must study all the harder, For someday I must earn me room and larder, And Mr. Hagen tells me I will get farther In my college boards for Harvard. So leave me with the Latin and the Greek. And. with a studious expression, knowledge let me seek. I lence youse jitter bugs get out of sight. From now on erudition will be my delight. Life is more sublime Far from the solid side of the line! Out of me room, me jesting laddie, I’m gonna be good, me hearte belongs to daddy! I’ll slave and sweat for pa's beloved college. So on your way so I can get some knowledge! —PAXSON GILMAN. B I S B I L A PACE 53 How to De Park Getting the car out of a tight parking place is a very interesting pastime and can he worked into a regular game. In order to indulge successfully in the fun certain requirements are necessary, including: one twelve inch ruler, a crowbar, a completely befuddled victim of drink or two mild alchoholics, a light lunch, a picnic bottle of beer, an insurance policy with a liberal coverage, an ice chopper, a few friends on the police force and some sheets of paper and a pencil with which to make diagrams and take down witnesses. A narrow street on a street car line, preferably in downtown St. Paul, guarantees the proper spirit of congeniality for our dandy little game. There is only one hard anil fast rule in our little funfest. but it in itself is apt to cause a bit of trouble. The maximum distance between you and those unfortunate people who have had the bad luck to park next to you cannot exceed a total of twelve inches. Such a restriction lends a note of frivolity as well as an additional mental hazard to the occasion. Now you are in the mess and this is the routine to get out that you may use to advantage. lid. Note—-We presume to take no responsibility for the damages of those who undertake the insuring procedure). Fake your ruler and check on the bumper to bumper distance of the cars fore and aft. If you think you look funny. just wait. Keep on measuring until a small but sympathetic croud has gathered. Take out the pencil anu paper and record the license numbers of the other cars. This action shows your sympathizers that you mean business. About this time it is customary for a self-styled technical advisor to arrive on the scene and hand out invaluable information free-gratis. Sou can ignore him or not; it is up to you. Personally. I snub them unless he looks like a professional wrestler or someone too tough to handle. Therefore in apparent disdain of our intellectual friend, start the car. gunning the engine furiously in order to further impress the bystanders. However, (if you haven't cheated) you find the wheels are resting squarely on ice. thereby producing merely friction, not motion. Then it is a good idea to get out of the car and survey the situation with an air of affected dignity. That technically inclined individual is probablv sneering at you with that I told you so look. Don't let that ruffle vou. Stare right back with the good old all right wise guy. what are you going to do about it look, offering the spare keys at the same time. If he is the kind of person I have in mind he undoubtedly won't hesitate to take you up. At this point, however, you are careful not to let him steal the whole show. I would advise taking the chopper and clearing away a little of the ice. Then step back with the crowd to enjoy the fun. Kefrain from laughing when he spins the wheels on the ice. but when the wheels suddenly catch on the bare pavement and you hear the sound of grinding metal resulting from the telescopic meeting of your bumper with the rear accessories of the car directly in front, you must act quickly. Open the door with a grim look and gently but firmly dismiss the services of your well-meaning but misguided friend. Now you are ready to proceed by yourself, while the drunk pulls into sight to humor the crowd—After sufficiently mangling the headlights and grill of the car to the rear (let alone your own trunk), take time out for a little snack. Nonchalantly munch a sandwich or two. as you prefer, and guzzle a little beer. Ah! Ah! Careful, save a little of that three point five solution for future use. By all means keep the beer out of sight or the inebriated entertainer may cause additional trouble. (It is to be noted here that if this tipsy character is to be reckoned with, a shot from your radiator is usually sufficient to keep him in good spirits.) If my calculations arc correct, an hour will suffice to get the car into angle from which (after another quick lunch) two or three more turns will send you merrily on your way. providing the drunk hasn't taken it into his head to catch a nap under the car. But don't be optimistic. Nine times out of ten a yellow object approaches swiftly off the port bow which on closer inspection proves to he a street car. (The object not the bow). Close your eyes and hope. Darn it! He hit. but then what's another fender more or less. If your luck runs true to form, the motor will now fail to function. It is useless to enlist the services of any volunteer mechanics. One glance at the gas gauge will show that fuel is lacking A risk run of two blocks and a down deposit will get you the necessary gas. Oh! Oh! What's this? I'he occupants of the adjoining cars have returned. These people are not in a reasonable mood and I would advise against any arguments or disputes. Remember there are more of them and. Lord knows, you're already knee deep in trouble. There is no sense in denying the sad affair. The evidence, mainly that pile of scrap metal, is clearly stacked against you. When the policeman arrives. I'll bet ten to one he isn't the one you know. While you are waiting for the patrol wagon, you might as well offer the officer the rest of your sandwiches. However, use your judgment because nine out of ten lie’ll have indigestion which only complicates matters. Whatever you do. get rid of that beer to avoid further embarrassment in regard to charges of intoxication while driving. These are ail the suggestions I wish to be held responsible for. because getting out of that particular place where you will he parked for the night, will require far more tact and diplomacy than I feel I have at my finger tips.
