COBB Superintendent of Brainerd Public Schools We desire to express our sincerest appreciation to Mr. Cobb for the manner in which he has ¢o- operated with us in all our undertakings during the past year. There has been nothing, if it was possible to get it, whether equipment for athletics, permission for entertainments, or just plain advice, that he has refused to sanction. When ever we had problems we took them to Mr. Cobb, and we always came away feeling that every thing was being done to help us. This has proved beyond a doubt that he has the interest of the students at heart and we shall not soon forget the many favors he has shown us.

By old Mississippi’s waters, Brainerd High, Brainerd High, Gather Brainerd’s sons and daughters, Brainerd High, Brainerd High, There’s a whisper through the trees, And an echo on each breeze, That thy fairest flowers are these, Brainerd High, Brainerd High, That thy fairest flowers are these, Brainerd High! Years we’ve gathered at thy calling, Brainerd High, Brainerd High, Now sad tears are almost falling, Brainerd High, Brainerd High, Happy school days here are o’er, But the school of life before Beckons as we leave thy door, Brainerd High, Brainerd High, Beckons as we leave thy door, Brainerd High! Many lessons thou hast taught us, Brainerd High, Brainerd High, And much knowledge thou hast brought us, Brainerd High, Brainerd High. Throughout all the coming years, Where so e’er thy name appears, We shall greet it with our cheers, Brainerd High, Brainerd High! We shall greet it with our cheers, - Brainerd High! In a world of great endeavor, Brainerd High, Brainerd High, We would loyal be forever, Brainerd High, Brainerd High! And in playing life’s great game, We would magnify thy name, And add something to thy fame, Brainerd High, Brainerd High, And add something to thy fame, Brainerd High! —MISS LOU BARRETT. Sn t Page Twen ty-five ( a i The Brainonian CThe Senior Basserinos oa HOLSTROM, McCAFFREY, HURLEY AND CLOSTERMAN A close-up of the famous Senior Quartette whose illustrious performances | before large assembly audiences have rocked the old school house. Page Twenty-six Some of our most interesting class members began ir happy and eventful careers in the Mixed ude. They say they remember the first question ed them by their teacher was “How many of this s are Irish?” There weren’t many volunteers , this personal touch was the means of a happy n between Miss Quinn and the Mixed Graders they all lived happily ever after. here was a taffy pull that was the cause of some the now “stuck up” seniors. I guess the people en’t the only stuck up things. A few of us, | am y to say a very few of us, have vivid recollections scrubbing everything from the uditorium down to Domestic Science seats. len there was a sleigh ride at which one boy tht such a cold that he was sick fro a week, and girl lying in bed with the “Flu” nearly died of oken heart when she heard the crowd drive off ring “Cheer, cheer, the gang’s all here.” ien too there were wienie roasts and marshmal- oasts at which every one te buns and pickles. entually we all became Freshmen. We entered vest door, thinking to start this part of our life | by coming in the front door. “With solemn ; and slow,” and a look on our face like Otto kkennine’s the day of the Freshman-Sophomore ram in that re-union play, we were herded up to second floor where in due time they “got our ber,” and we got a few impressions of—vwell, ything’. Freshman we distinguished ourselves by our ty to give banquets at our one and only party. ie Guin also distinguished herself as the greatest an cake eater, her capacity at that time being m pieces. The only thing that prevented her | accomplishing more, was lack of material to ¢ with. sater things have since partly wiped out the of the St. Patrick’s Day party, except that ecorations were carried out in our class colors. were green and white. And a few of us gained special privilege of washing dishes until eleven sn, as now, we had a large honor roll, which s that we have always been noted for our bril- 7. We were a good deal quieter and very many meeker than we now are and surely we can be das A- for Mr. Scherick never resorted to zy us “Bolsheviks” more than a dozen or so r Sophomore year opened with a great many ies in our ranks. A few could not bear to fond farewell to the Freshman class so soon, ngered still another year. The great scramble History of C[he Class of 1922. and diligence with which we all worked, had tired not a few, but we were still a large class. We be- came somewhat familiar with our surroundings and grew bold and bad enough to chew gum, eat candy and flop pennies as recreation from spurts of en- thusiasm, directly caused by a teacher standing over ts while watching the assembly. We had real parties this year. There was a picnic down on the river flats. For “particulars and de- tails” I’ll refer you to Earle Fitzsimmons, who was then our class president and who still, no doubt, re- tains vivid recollections of the same, as he and a member of the now Junior class led the parade home. Then too, there was the Sophomore Hallowe’en party. It was a masquerade for which we were teased, coxed, goaded and threatened for one long month to “Pay your dues so we can have a Hallow- e’en party in the K. of C. hall.” But one never really realized what great, wonder- ful sport school is, until he becomes a Junior. It begins to compensate for all the timidity, foolish mistakes and hard work of the other two years. I’m not saying we didn’t work. We did. And we all be- came better acquainted and became real comrades, with more in common. There was a Junior-Senior Hallowe’en party at which were executed modern versions of Grand Opera and charming dances. And then there was our “Kid Valentine party.” Miss Tornstrom, and recently Miss Oldenberg have told us time and time again that we act just like little kids. Undoubtedly we became so fascinated with the idea that we found it inconvenient to change so often. Besides, the role of a child is a pleasing one. Short skirts, bobbed har, and a tendency “to be heard and not seen.” We got Valentines that night, we did and it was just as much fun as Santa Claus on Christmas because we never knew where they came from. The Junior candy sale was about the biggest star in the crown of our class. We made so much money that the hotel keepers at Rocky Point were able to start a large bank account with the money we gave them for the banquet they prepared for the graduat- ing class of ’21 and ourselves. Oh yes!“ We Juniors hailed customers a mile or so away.” . The picnic at Rocky Point was the entertainment we gave the Seniors last year. It was an ideal day and me measured our plans accordingly. Some of us got there a little late for the first part but stayed to take a last long lingering gaze at the scene of our devastation, and then departed, gleefully singing tunes all of which we were manfully murdering, by singing in a b natural key or, I should say, frame of mind. Page Twenty-seven 8 The last height of real happiness was reached when the Senior class of ’21 invited us to go on a picnic to Gilbert Lake. I couldn’t go and after read- ing over the menu I’ve been desperately sorry. That class knew the value of real food in plenty, and en- tertained us royally. But the exams didn’t enter- tain us so royally. In many cases they were an un- limited source of amusement to the teachers. That Junior year was just wonderful. It was just “Thrills, thrills, thrills.” We began our Senior year just as we ended our Junior year. As they say in Shakespeare, “enter with a flourish.” We left a few behind but they worked like troopers and caught up with us at Christmas time, when they were duly sworn in and initiated. They enjoyed the process immensely, they tell us. We know they were particularly glad to see us because they each went down the aisle and shook hands with each and every one of us. Heartily at first, later methodically,and then the act distinguish- ed itself by its pump handle effect. Page Twenty-eight The Brainonian =, Taking the class as a whole, we are a peaceful, docile class even though Georgia and Bobby still fight as they did in “Clarence,” and Lester Clark knows now that Leo’s specialty is bugs and not wo- men or piano tuning. Mere mention of the class play does not do that production justice. It was the greatest and best ac- complishment of our whole career. Leo proved him- self very adaptable. We don’t know whether his heart was in it or not, he had so many occupations, and Lester claims, to this day, he can’t bear to hear anyone tune a piano. Georgia and Bobby’s part simply couldn’t have been done so well by any one | else in the class. And Maurice and Hazel are on speaking terms again so Maurice doesn’t have to carry a bird around to tell his troubles to. Donald still has worries, but they aren’t governesses and of- fice work. Helen still loves saxophone music the same as she did the night of the play, and Alice says she loves the duties of a governess but the position necessitates shouldering a lot of responsibility when her subjects are such as Georgia and Bobby. Class Prophec — SUE By Alice Regina Jchnson Curiosity took breath, bit her lips, and with an attempt at a courageous appearance, knocked at the door of Fate. Upon admittance she was ush- ered to the throne of Fate herself—the fascinating all-knowing one. Directly she knelt before her ob- ject and said: “To me has been given the pleasure of attending the alumni banquet of Brainerd High students in only a few days. The class of ’22 will especially want to know about each other. Does it please Your Highness to reveal to me your records?” Fate was pleased. She drew back her head haughtily; allowed a patronizing smile to play upon her lips. Then clasping her robes more closely about her, she answered: “T shall see to it, myself. carefully these twenty years. To such as you, my records are closed. Let rather their occupations and places in life be revealed in their eyes and words that evening. It is my command.” Sudly Curiosity retreated, not to be satisfied un- til the twentieth reunion of the class of ’22. There did Fate keep her promise for among the first ones to appear at the banqvet was Erna Mack- aben, her Lilliputian self easily recognizable. Words flowed from her lips like honey. Her great experi- ence with words in her life of poetry and dreams made her interesting, especially when she proceeded to give the details of her engagement by the Litr- ary Digst to replace their former blank verse. Com- plaints of Mary Tornstrom on this score had reached the office. Lawrence Johnson sauntered in, according to his youthful fashion, and complained of how distressing the chair was in which he had flung himself. His most recent design in porch furniture and the one which afforded him the most pleasure, he said, was a combination-chair which as soon as one shifted his weight upon it, would magically change into a bed, with even little balls dangling on each side for the occupation of nervous, idle hands. A high-pitched laugh sounded from the doorway. A young woman with a springy walk entered, hum- ming a tune, as if she were totally oblivious to her surroundings. The same carefree Georgia as for- merly—at least, up to her study of chemistry. Business was good, she said. Business? Oh yes, ‘she was sole owner of a sauer-kraut and wiener jeint half-way between Crosby and Brainerd— The Half-Way Inn.” Didn’t you know? While Georgia was still exchanging greetings, the door opened quietly and in came Erna Marohn and Mabel Stanley. They happened to be on the I have watched them same train from New York, so came together. Erna was quite as fastidious as ever and decidedly at- tractive. She carried a radio-phone in her bag tc which she constantly resorted. It seemed New York depended on her to set the fads. If she had each finger painter a different color, so did New York. Her every whim became a fad. By radiophone she kept them posted on her various fancies, even tho’ she was far away. Her latest one was to wear a circular piece of court plaster on the tip of her nose. Her originality was that far drained! Mabel Stanley was very reticent, but by gradual bits of information it was learned that she was of the Milady Shop in London, a large dress designers’ establishment. So far, Mabel only hooked and un- hooked for the models, but she said she expected very soon to be doing designing herself. Later came Walter Larson. He paints smoke- stacks on U. S. battleships and says his work is very fascinating. It must be! Who would ever have guessed that Walter would rise to such an ele- vated position? Behold, Robert Gemmell, Ph. D.; L.L.D.; B.A., ete. of the University of Missouri! He teaches French Lit. He acquired prominence by his latest book— “Hints on the Mastery of French.” Too bad the book wasn’t written by someone years ago so Robert could have had the use of it! Myrtle Johnson had to- take a long trip to be at the reunion for she’s in San Francisco, connected with the “Meetchathere” Club. Curious position too! It is her, task to escort home the boys in their teens who are afraid (to go home.) Ruth Gustafson was as calm and placid as was her want. The story of her career was very inter- esting! She accidentally concocted some kind of a new pickle. Lovers fell for it. It is in every cook- book put out by the Risem Baking Powder Co., and Ruth has gone into retirement to spend her royal- ties. George Wendt—can you imagine him a guide at Nia gara Falls? Even there George made good in a unique way. He has the honor of possessing the longest list of girl’s names without knowing them of any man in the United States. George said when asked if he was married, said he knew he COULD have been several times if he cared to, but yet he hadn’t met the girl after his heart. Poor George! Andrene Gendron entertained the bunch with a number of monologs. Said she loved to do it. Of course we had all heard her before on Brunswick records at home. Page Twenty-nine The Brainonian | Dorothy Fisher has gone deeply and enthusiasti- cally into the study of astronomy. She is special- izing in the relative position of the morning stars —that is: about three o’clock in the morning. For this reason she never goes to bed at night but rath. er sleeps in the day time. Lester Bredenberg owns a jewelry store in West Brainerd—a very ordinary kind of a jewelry store but for one thing. His sign over the door states: “All kinds of jewelry except wedding rings.” Know- ing Lester’s customary conscientiousness as his classmates, it is easy to believe he is sincere when he says he feels it sinful to sell a ring for marriage purposes to a man contemplating nuptials. He class- es them with imbeciles. Ruth McCabe couldn’t come, Gordon said. In her letter, she was bubbling over with happiness. De Mantelean had chosen her as model for his painting “The Age of Innocence” and it had teen placed in the Louvre. Virginia Casey is the only girl in the class who is teaching school. She is at Loerch, leading her pro- teges along the flowery realms of knowledge. Her exquisite taste in the matter of clothes puts her in constant demand by the village swains, but she pre- fers no strong attachments, it seems. Edna Kamrath is the “Snappy Stories” magazine company’s most cherished agent in the northern part of Minnesota. She takes subscriptions, prefer- ably in clubs of three, at $1.50 for three months for the “Snappy Stories,’ “Today’s Housewife” and “War Cry.” She reports business good. Esther Claus was as jolly and good-looking as she used to be. She was so enthusiastic about “my girls’ and spoke so glowingly of them, that the au- dience had fully decided she must be the mother of a large family, when she mentioned being dean at Radcliffe College. Her love of her classmates had bro’t her from Mt. Chester, Massachusetts to be with them. Gordon McPherson is what Middle West people call “well-off.” And it all come about by whistles. You see, Gordon made some kind of a whistle which could be made cheaply, and was very appealing to children. Turned one way it sounded like an alarm clock; the other way it was curfew. Since it was decidedly useful to parents, all the ten-cent stores grappled onto a big stock immediately and hence, big returns for Gordon. Leslie Croswell, newly elected mayor of Brainerd, gave a heart-rending speech, first of welcome and then expressed his delight at seeing his old friends again. He challenged Lawrence to a fight, and as Lawrence never could resist a few punches at Cros- Page Thirty by, they “laid it on,” hot and heavy. It was keenly stggestive of ancient noon-hour tussles in the senior room! The Society for the Curtailing of the privileges of Lap Dogs was originated by Irene Brose. As governess in the home of the idle rich for a while, she became sensitive to the great cruelty thus in- flicted upon the “deah little things,” as she calls them. She conducts her meetings on the street corners. Her most successful place is at the corner of Fifth and Front Streets. At one inspiring meet- ing, some three hundred shaggy poodles were lib- erated. With the spirit of the great out-of-doors upon her, came Ruth Everest. Her eyes lit up with the gleam of hope almost realized as she told of her obscure little cabin near Lake Vermilion. She has become an adherent of the back-to-nature move- ment. Says she’s positively getting fat on moun- tain-ash berries. She is sure the divine urge is al- most materialized now. When it does she knows she will startle the world in some way. One of the first things Alfrieda Eggen did after graduation was to get married—and to a doctor! She has three adorable little girls, she said, and ins:sts that they must all become nurses some day. Alfrieda always was wild about nursing, someway! Edith De Rocher distributed circulars immediate- ly upon her arrival. We hastily read them. They stated as follows: Saxaphone lessons by Mail! No musical ability necessary (only breath) Learn to play any tune from “Tipperary” to “Send Out Thy Light.” Edith kindly played for us later and reminded certain ones of lessons taken twenty years ago dur- ing “Clarence” rehearsals. Mayme Britton couldn’t be persuaded to come to the reunion. She asked if boys would be there and upon being answered in the affirmative, hastily sent her regrets. She lives in Pillager, rather two miles from that city. There she stays in utmost seclu- sion. Her habitual solitude even gives her enough confidence in herself to be able to say quite con- vincingly that she never could tolerate a man! We were glad to see that Oliver Cook came any- way. We would have hated not to have seen him just because of a possible little misunderstanding. Nor were we surprised to know that he is singing on the Orpheum circuit. It happened, too, that Carle Holmstrom gave us a few little side-lights as to what kind of a man Oliver is to work with.

When they began to entertain him quite handsomely he simply bought a monocle, a pair of gray trousers, spats, and kept a standing order for gardenias with a florist. He became a typical New Yorker over night. Alice Herman is the idol of the Brainerd teachers. She felt the great lack of home atmosphere during’ her two years mission work in Mexico so when she returned she built a fine big residence on the site of the old playground on 5. Sixth St. and there she “homes” (as she puts it) all the Brainerd teachers. Helen Holden ig head clerk at the ribbon counter at Donaldson’s. Her distinct ideas of leadership doubtless helped her to secure this responsible posi- tion. She said she tried desperately to Set at the organdie counter but couldn’t manage. We’l] hope the adage “Absence makes the heart grow fonder” will have some effect! It was easy enough to imagine Harold Canfield a label designer. He does some selling for the com- pany with which he is connected, too. His specialty is “Strawn’s Cough Syrup for Babies.” He hastened to tell us tho’ that it was also efficient for croup. In Mayme Britton’s last letter from Gladys Peter- son she expressed her keen regret at not being able to attend the reunion, but she felt it was impossible. She is traveling abroad as companion to a very ec- centric woman who is studying archeaology. The day before her letter was written, Gladys said they were visiting some old ruins in Athens when a par- apet fell. Her benefactress was very “in-pressed” so they would probably be in Athens for some time. The O’Gilligan overal] factory in Buttersville, New Jersey, held a contest. All the employees were eligible. Hazel Shew was therefore a candidate, as she had been employed there for some time in the department where the buttons are put on. The con- test was to decide which one of the 10,000 employees had the best smile; and Hazel won out—of course! She says that ever since, her days have been one round of camera men and fashionable dinners. But Hazel isn’t spoiled! Gladys Britton has been organist for a company of evangelistic Singers for several years now. The only thing she ever disliked about the work, accord- ing to Gladys’ own words, was that it meant less powder and more hair. It really didn’t detract from her appearance tho’. “Des” Hurley was eagerly greeted, for his ever- reat popularity has increased rapidly, especially among those who read the Kewpie page in the Pic- torial Review. Desmond’s many love affairs made him thoroughly capable of drawing these little imps. Surely he is an instance of the value of early acquaintance with Cupid! Page Thirty-one The Brainonian 5 When Floring Ziegfield was looking for the girls to make up his revue in 1940, he happened to get May Anderson. Her “taffy-like” hair (as someone once expressed it) made him decide to keep her, so she’s been with him ever since. She has apartments at the Biltmore and she said she even had Persian rugs. About ten years ago Cecile Morrison decided to leave the teaching profession. She was offered the position of superintendent of a huge prune-packing establishment. Fortunately, there was one depart- ment devoted to the cooking of prunes. Cecile im- mediately sent proof of her High School domestic science credit and was put in charge of this depart- ment. She says she never burns them. That sounds good for there were days when she did! Clang!—s-s-h!—Alice Bakkela. Of course she didn’t bring. her “elevated” with her, but told us vividly enough about it. She runs the Oak Park elevated in Chicago and she says she loves her work. She is particularly fond of Lake Street for she can look in all the manufacturers’ windows and see half the world at her feet. Before receiving this position Alice was a cashier at Marshall Field’s but her craving for excitement necessitated a change. Edward Stevens is the millionaire of the class. You remember asa Senior he was peculiarly adqi- ated to weekly trips to Staples, Long Lake and other commercial centers? It seems there was method in his madness, for it resulted in a keen realization of the great waste of natural resources. He bought a great deal of land, grafted wild roses onto tame ones, and consequently Woolworth’s held rose bush sales weekly. Now Ed has a magnificent estate at Tarrytown-on-the-Hudson. After an extended trip abroad, during which time she studied the ladies smoking rooms in particular, Ellen Tervo returned to Brainerd and began a very popular establishment called “The Smoke ’Er.” She said the reason for her choice was that she really felt it was one of the most “refined lines of work open to women, and certainly the one most legislated on!” Sigrid Lund is enjoying her fifth busy season in Pequot. Her occupation is most easily told by the words “social butterfly.” She has been engaged en- tirely in pleasure pursuits and the question of “what-to-do” for twenty years. They are both still far from completion. Norma Hagberg’s “divine urge” led her into the realm of woman’s hair. She felt the greatest serv- ice she could render humanity would be to find some way in which hair-combing to a femalé would imply only one performance a day. At first she bobbed her own and experimented. She finally decided Page Thirty-two upon this style which she employs on ALL her cus- tomers. It is called the “Norma-do.” She lets the hair grow to the shoulders, curls it in front of the ears and lets it hang, and—well, write to her and she’ll tell you all about it! Hiveryone gasped when a young man entered with a graceful walk of ease and and air so entirely born of culture. Kenneth Brackner—of course. He is a pupil of Maurice. He says of all the dances, his favorite is the new “Trombone Slide.’ He proceeded to illustrate it, and everyone agreed that he did honor to his famous teacher. Kenneth expects to open up a school of ball-room dancing. at Nisswa as soon as the town has ten thousand inhabitants. We would hate to waste his time in a small place. Irene Evans is employed by a carnival company. She has the “nigger baby” stand. Her recommen- dations included senior class play “secretary”; mem- ber High School debating team; two years as an agent selling Stoddard’s lectures and other minor qualifications. Before they let her call out her wares tho’ (as she must to hold the job) they sent her away to have her voice softened. Irene resented it very much, but went anyway. Now her voice is very flute-like. Beatrice Guin is stenographer for a real estate man in Minneapolis. She has been watching twenty years with eagle eye for exactly two things: a use for her great knowledge of Latin and—The Right Man. So far, neither have appeared. Her sister, Marie, suggested the best thing to do would be to marry a Latin professor and get both in one swoop. Beatrice is considering this suggestion seriously. As for Marie Guin, she rooms with Beatrice but works in a different place. She bakes all the cakes for Child’s in St. Paul. When she first started there she had quite a time to refrain from tasting each one. At one of the employees’ parties tho’ some- one contested with her to see who could eat the most. Her nearest rival was fifteen pieces. Since then the constant teasing has worn down her apve- tite for cakes. Lester Clark is very favorably known in Mon- tenegro. He is an American attache there. He studied four or five foreign languages before being ‘appointed to the position, and those who have heard� him talk them, especially French, say they go as speedily off his tongue as his English does. And, for more to be wondered at, he occasionally gets angry—only occasionally, of course. Doubtless, Miss Tornstrom would gladly make the trip for the satisfaction of having seen this phenomenon! Esther Nelson’s picture was in the “November (1940)” copy of the American Magazine, designated as ces scl the of dei an the an- bre ing = The Brainonian as being the likeness of the youngest and most suc- cessful owner of a business college in America. The school is located as Lassburg. Young people flock there from everywhere because it is the only school of its kind that eliminates speed tests. Esther evi- dently learned “The quality of mercy is not strained” and applied it to stenography—much to the joy of the victims! -_ La Vera Ascher, like Alfrieda, is a married wom- an—the well-known type that makes waffles for breakfast; employs curlers half-a-day; wears dress- ing-sacks; and parts her little daughter’s hair in ‘the center. La Vera still advocates early marriage because she says “then you get used to what to ex- pect before you get to the place where you expect anything.” Sounds rather deep doesn’t it? She must know what she’s talking about tho’ because she looked happy! Donald Closterman is busily engaged in compiling a dictionary. He started out giving talks on timely topics but found the bribes to keep people awake between each word cost more than he made, so be- gan the d ictionary. He says his course in Commer- cial Correspondence in High School is invaluable to him for he practiced many unusual words on the class besides improving his rhetoric. All of Astrid Olsen’s time is occupied in trying to find a new flavor for peppermints. She has tried many, but says they were all even worse than the original. She has given herself ten more years in which to attain success. If at the end of that time ‘She is still floundering about in the sea of difficulty, she is going to give up, and begin the study of the causes of red hair. Elizabeth Wilson is the highly efficient and aspir- ing critic of the Colliers people. She has made at- tempt after attempt to get some of her own things published but she says she guesses they must be above the heads of the ordinary reader for they aren't popular. Among some of them are: “Tom Carey’s Gun,” “The Last Trump,” “The Murder of Julianne Forchet.” And how bitte-ly she spoke of Zane Grey and Harold Bell Wright. As a composer, Carle Holmstrom is very success- ful. He has succeeded in copying the style of Lange’s “Flower Song,” (which he played by re- quest for Cecile.) He numbers several jazz songs among his compositions, too. His best ane is “I Haven’t Got Very Much of a Voice But How I Can Talk!’ Carle has let his hair grow long and has had a permanent wave put in. He was swagegle! Gladys Benson became such an admirer of Byron during her study of English Lit. that she has thrown conventionality to the winds. She shuns fashions; © hand-shaking; introductions, all rules of etiquette She has a farm near Barrows where she raises guinea hens and well, everything that anyone else does! and peacocks exclusively. There are rumors that she is going to marry an agent of the “Gimme Guinea Incubator Co.” George Sargent is just fabulously wealthy. He is touring from coast to coast, lecturing on several very practical topics. This season he is drawing people to hear him by the thousands. His subject is “The Gentle Art of Arguing About Nothing—My Plan.” George surely started early enough in life to show inclinations on such absorbing matters. Foresight indeed! Audrey Howe couldn’t possibly come to the re- union as she was in Brazil on an exploring expedi- tion after birds. She has a. contract to design the interior of a yacht being fitted out by a wealthy Englishman. He paid her expenses to Brazil with the express provision that she make his yacht the most distinctive among his set. So she is clamber- ing around among the monkeys and cannibals, in search of rare birds to design! Ralph Peterson is janitor of the new High School. His memories of the old building wouldn’t let him leave the school environment. He did have a chance to travel for some company, selling almanacs, but he said being a traveling man entailed too much boldness and uncertainty of good companions. So, in order to keep on the “straight and narrow” he is | heating the school at the will of the teachers! The Shaker settlement in Vermont is the better for having converted Katherine Remmels to their belief. She says religion and conservatism are the great things in life. She even ventured to dance for us. Of course it differed from what Kenneth did, decidedly! She is so devout tho’ that she even refused to speak to Richard Pederson, who tried to quarrel with her as was his want. He succeeded as miserably as heretofore for men are even more dis- tasteful to her now. Hustin Turner is the owner of the large Turner Hotel on Mille Lacs lake. His greatest ambition is realized—to make his place take the place of Gilbert in the minds of High School picnickers. It seems cruel to him to break down one of Brainerd High’s few traditions—for going to Gilbert each year real- ly was one. Still we always were, untraditional— no dress-u-day! no Loch Lomond! Hustin looked just the way he used to—he was just as tall and commanding. Delia Cossette works in the Olympia. When she was asked about the place she said it was very much the same, only sundaes were ten cents now. She Page Thirty-three Se The Brainonian says there are fewer crushes now tho’, hence less High School trade. She gave a reason, the fact-that the floor of the new High School is on rollers and so tete-a-tetes get broken if they last too long by a knock against some classroom door. Marcus Sorenson owns a steel plant in Philadel- phia. He was jovial and good-natured as he told of his meteor-like rise to prominence and then re- viewed the good times he had as a boy when he played Jeff to the other boys. He said his only sympathizer in those days was Hustin Turner who consoled him untiringly. � After graduation Alice R. Johnson flew south with the ducks. She is banging out jazzy chords to would-be buyers in some southern ten-cent store. She chews gum sometimes too, she admitted. Al! these things were simply due to the fact that audi- ences did not seem to relish her interpretation of Chopin. Certainly a hard crash to high aspirations! Leo McCaffrey is adored with hero-worship by the women especially in Twin Bend, Indiana. He is a minister there, rather his headquarters are there. He travels over an alloted territory regularly for the purpose solely of organizing Ladies’ Aids. He is a shark at it for he has two never-failing means. He either combs his hair straight back or parts it in the middle. The young women like it straight back Page Thirty-four for he’s more young looking then. The older ones think he looks more hardened with it parted. He numbers his converts by the thousands. “Millie Germain” At Your Service Inquire within.” Then you inquire and learn thus: “I will give your baby a ride around Gregory Park for five cents a ride. If you wish to go shopping, leave Many with me and I’1ll wheel her till you return.” And Millie is successful at it, too, for her sweet face makes the tiniest babe call her Mumsy! Maurice Stoner, who always did relish being late, was the last one of the class to arrive. His great experience with money in connection with the Sen- ior class pictures made him convinced that money was an interesting thing to handle. Now he is a heavy stockholder in the First National Bank. Some one said that Maurice understood A-M-O to mean “I love” whether it be Latin or Norwegian. I don’t know what that means unless it be wedding bells in June! When Curiosity had carefully caken note of all these things she left the banquet scene as quietly as she -had entered, and the class continued its revelry. | she 3) MR 7 a ee Oe oe = sia to — Will of Senior Class of 1922... —: By Leo McCaffrey We, the Senior Class of 1922, of Brainerd, in the County of Crow Wing and the State of Minnesota, consisting of seventy- distinguished and separate individuals, all being of sound mind and disposing memory; considering the uncertainty of this our last year, being about to separate ourselves from this home of knowledge with a guilty feeling that we know most everything that we should have ab- sorbed in our long four year trip through the B. H. S. do, therefore, make, ordain, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament. First: We order and direct that our executor, hereinafter named shall pay all our just debts and funeral expenses as soon after our decease as con- venience may be. Second: After the payment of such funeral ex- penses and debts, including a wide circle of things, far too numerous to mention, we give, devise an] bequeath, individually as follows: 1, Richard Pedersen, who holds the light heavy- weight title of the class, leaves his chief hobby, that of carrying radio appartus on his person to most any good dray line, and his skill as an operator to the Petersons, in the hope that some one of them may some day get in touch with other planets. 2. George Wendt leaves his seat mate for the fiscal year 1922 to Sir Oliver Lodge for him to con- verse with. We conclude that his seat mate was a ghost or spirit, for he said it never would say any- thing—friendly sort of creature. 3. Ralph Peterson bequests his “Silent Six” to Vanny (Carl) Jepson. We hope that Carl can, by substituting some parts of his iron horse, and with the aid of the necessary amount of goat glands, soon again have old “thunderclap” off for the races. 4. Gladys Britton and Lester Bredenberg, spar- ing partners, give their ability to play Hide and Seek and various other games in the Senior room to the old maids clubs of this institution. Kenneth Brackner leaves his quiet nature and love for the weaker sex to Eugene Hitch who we feel sure will carry on his good work. Marie Guin, the novelist, wishes to give her lat- est work to “Skinny” Nolan which is subtitled, “My Own Book on How to Reduce.’ Leslie Croswell leaves his baby ways and ability to amuse children to Emil Meifert. Lawrence Johnson leaves the quiet part of Rus- sia to Vernon Dieckhaus. The class gives this small token of appreciation to the teachers’ town car in the way of a small sized trailer which can be used for the purpose of carrying Miss Oldenburg’s Saturday Evening Posts in. The class also gives to Doc Turner this pair of short pantaloons to bring back memories of the days when he was young. Richard Beale, the only person in the class who fully appreciates Love Lyrics and Sonnets has wiit- ten one for Mayme and Oliver. Lines composed at church “Well, it’s all over now.” George Sargent, another’ promising poet, his phase being nature, leaves his latest one for your ap- preciation which is entitled, “Why Flowers Die so Young.” Carle Holmstrom, champion horse shoe pitcher of his neighborhood, bequeaths these two symbols of Good Luck to Mr. Dillan and Miss Opsahl. To Miss Oldenburg, who has so tenderly cherished and looked after the Seniors during this our senior year, we bequeath this resembler of a small boiler factory and trust that she will never forget the noisy seniors. To the rest of the gentle faculty we give, devise and bequeath all the new facts, ideas and tricks of learning that we have at one time or another im- parted to°them, which includes a vast number of theories, feeling sure that nothing remains to be told, we trust that they will impart these facts to all new students, for if they were not, these gems of wisdom might be lost to mankind. The only. thing of any real value which we leave to dear old B. H. S. is a magnificent portable piano. All the rest and residue of our property of any nature sort or form, we give and bequeath to our highly systematic principal for her own use abso- lutely. Lastly we make, constitute and appoint our wor- thy and efficient storekeeper, Mrs. M. A. Billings, to be executor of this our last will and testament. In testimony whereof, we have hereunto subscribed our name and affixed our seal this twenty-third day of May, in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred twenty-two. (Seal) CLASS OF 1922.

The teams of the different branches of athletics, although victorious in very few games, certainly showed the mettle they were made of and every mother, father, fellow student and other enthusiast does feel proud of the boys. The year started out with little or very few men returning from last year and the prospects were far from bright. It was the “do and die” spirit of the battlers of the B. H. S. that has won for them a full recognition by all neighboring schools. The members of the different teams wish to thank the student. body as a whole for the hearty support received by them in all the games played in the different branches of Athletics. — Thanks is extended to all business men and all others who have shown an interest throughout the past year. The graduating class of 1922 have among them some of the best Athletes the school has ever had. These boys have won distinction for themselves, their class and their school. Each man is a sports- man; each one conducts himself as a gentleman. The members who are graduating leave behind them very good material for future years and hope that their successors will] “carry on” as they have t ied to do. Wearers of the “B” Senior Boys OUR COACH F. W. ROSEL Mr. Rosel has completed his first year as athletic coach for the Brainerd High School. With men of little or no experience to start the year with, he has, by thorough training and detailed knowledge built up strong teams in all branches of Athletics. Through his personality he has instilled clean sports- manship into every Athlete training under him. It is his greatest hope to have a champion team in baseball, basketball and football next year and with the cooperation of all concerned there is no doubt but he will.

The League was divided into the Northern section, repre- sented by St. Cloud, Little Falls, Crosby-Ironton and Brainerd, while Elk River, Princeton, St. Francis, Monticello and Milaca formed the Southern section. The name decided on was the Central Minnesota High School Baseball League. The first game of the season was played at St. Cloud on Wednesday, April 26th, the local boys meet- ing defeat by an 18 to 7 score. The game was fea- tured by errors on the part of both teams. With the exception of one or two, the Brainerd team was made up of new material.

In the first two innings the Crosby team scored all their runs, but after this the Brainerd High boys tightened up and by hard hitting and superb pitch- ing on the part of Zakarisen, who struck out thir- teen men, the boys came throuh with a 14 to 5 vic- tory.

Bottom row, Graham, Stoner, Capt. Heikkinen, Hukari, Sargent. Football The 1921-22 Athletic year in the Brainerd High School began with a call for football material by President Closterman. Mr. Rosel, an able veteran was coach and a fine turnout of thirty-five or forty promising battlers greatly encouraged him. At the arrival of Mr. Rock, a recent Macalest er football man, the two coaches started whipping the eleven into shape. They had a strictly green team to work with, but everyone went into it with a will and in the course of a few weeks’ training, the first practice game was run off between the first and second strings. This gave the coaches an opportunity to gauge each man and a complete reorganization was made, which proved most effective in the first game with Crosby. The following Saturday the range eleven invaded the locals at Koering field before a multitude of en- thusiastic spectators. Both teams ran neck and Tage Forty neck, Brainerd getting the edge on the visitors, with Capt. Heikkinen featuring as the individual _ star. The last five minutes, the Crosby outfit staged a des- perate aerial attack that nearly won them the game, but when the final whistle blew the score stood 13 to 6 in the favor of the Blue and White. The next week was Brainerd’s turn to visit the Iron City. The team, followed by several hundred ardent supporters, journeyed to Crosby to do their bit for the school. At three o’clock the two teams mixed, see-sawing up and down the gridiron. From the first the range men took advantage of the tally which read 13 to 9 at the close of the last period. With a victory and a defeat, a more experienced squad looked around for a future foe. Immediately their eye fell upon the giant Long Prairie machine, with which a date was finally set.

After a trip beset with every kind of handicaps in the form of tire trouble, engine trouble, etc., the battle field was reached, a late din- ner and a clash with their opponents hardly an hour after their arrival. A great deal of end running and passing was featured by both teams, especially by Sargent, the eminent star for Brainerd, coupled closely with the noble interference given by the fleet Heikkinen. Gradually the lighter squad worked away from their more cumbersome opponents and wound up the combat 13 to 7 in Brainerd’s favor. Now the coaches called their men into camp to train for the Armistice Day battle with the heavy, experienced, Little Falls crowd. Cold weather and snow did not discourage them until the final day, supported by the greater part of the school, they marched against the Red and White contenders, on their own grounds. The Brainerd machine ran smoothly at first, making smashing gains until the The Brainonian CAPTAIN CAPT. “BILL” CARLSON Catcher.

At the close of the season, Brainerd had played four games and came out with a 500 per cent. record. But when we consider that few, if any of the team, had ever played on a regular squad, that they were all young and in every game outweighed by their op- ponents, we feel greatly encouraged, when we realize that a great number of veteran battlers will return next season, and that they will be larger, heavier, and more experienced to uphold their school’s stand- ing. Mr. Rock and Mr. Rosel gave a banquet to the letter men at the Ransford to bid a final farewell to the men they had coached so well. Toasts, reflec- tions, and prophecies were made on the present, past, and future and all joined in a hearty vote of thanks to their valiant gridiron instructors.

The large gap left by the graduating of all members of the first team in the class of ’21, which was filled by inexperienced men was the direct cause of losing most of the games. | Capt. Hess elect, along with George Sargent, were the only men of any experience Coach Rosel had. After one week of hard and consistent practice, the first clash of the season with Aitkin on the home floor resulted in an overwhelming defeat for the home team. | The next two games played at Crosby-Ironton and Aitkin resulted in defeat at the hands of thé local five. The game at Aitkin was one of the closest Page Forty-two games ever witnessed and Aitkin gained a victory only in the last few minutes of play. After the Christmas holidays the locals opened the New Year with a victory over the fast St. Cloud five. This was the break in the line of defeats al- ready taken. In the next game, Crosdy- Ironton, who had de‘feate] the boys on _ their own floor, were doomed to disappointment, when the Blue and White came through with a hard earned victory. The local five dropped the next two games to the fast Little Falls five, winners of the district honors. The boys closed the district season at St. Cloud, meeting defeat after leading the first half by a score of 11 to 5. The attack of the sturdy St. Cloud ath- letes was too much and the game ended with the local five on the small end of the score. a S Although a disappointment in losing most of these games the boys were elated over the record made by the second team, who lost but one game during the entire season and that to the fast Aitkin team on their own floor. , , with stich prospects for the frture, the old B.

SWANSON Alumni Editor and President of Alumni Association What the Alumni Have Accomplished During the Past Year. (By Abner J. Swanson, Alumni Editor.) For years and years there has been going out of Brainerd High School a flow of students into a new and different world—and each year has seen ushered into the portals of immediate learning at Brainerd a new group of uneducated youth. After a few years outside of high school each of us, whether in employments, industry, or hard at work in some college, have recollections of what used to be in the good old Brainerd High Schoo] days from its start in ’87 to the present time. At times in its history the school has had what was termed an Alumni Association, but as the dial of time has changed so have conditions changed and Tage Forty-four a lapse in interest or rather manifested interest on the part of graduate students has been shown. _ For quite a period of time there has been no or- ganization to hold together the school product in friendship and in thought. Yesterday has gone—today is here, and with it a new Brainerd High School Alumni Association or- ganized the first of the current year 1922. What this association will mean to each and every Alumni remains to be seen. It has been a custom the last few years to have some time during the school period, class reunions. For the first one or two years after graduation there is generally a con- siderable amount of interest taken in these individu- al Class reunions, but it seems that with the passing’ of time there goes the passing of interest. As an illustration,—in the past year there was but one class reunion, that of the graduates of ’21. There has been made a merger of the respective graduate classes dated from the beginning of the school. The object of this organization is to form an asso- ciation of graduate members of the high school of Brainerd to engage and promote school friendship, class spirit, education and social intercourse for the graduates. The association will also be interested in the planning, and working out of ideas that will benefit under graduate members of the Brainerd High School. At the first assembly the first part of this year, approximately 150 interested graduates were pres- ent and took part. It was this group that organized the Brainerd High School Alumni Association. Some of them were college students, some professional and some business people. Everything points to a long career for this association. It is planned during the Christmas holidays of 1922-23 to have a Brainerd High School Home Coming and general reunion of friendships between the Alumni.
