The staff has tried to present it to you in an interesting and informal manner. We hope that as you read these pages in future years you may recall people and events with a very real pleasure and relive the care- free school days of the past. May the future hold for you no problems too hard to solve, no situations too hard to surmount, but even more happiness and success in life than your school days brought you in Brainerd High School. If we have added to your pleasure, our labors have been worth while. va To the citizens of tomorrow we dedicate this book. For all young people the future holds a challenge, and never has that been more true than it is today, for there is no real or fancied security and no one knows what he has to face in the years to come. Yet we feel that as the students leave school for work or for further education they accept this challenge, and with firm determin- ation they are ready for whatever they may meet, glad to serve under their flag in any capacity that may best further the welfare of the country they love.

Bolstad Treasurer—]. Stedman Secretary—L. Gaustad Vice-President—D. Olson Senior Class . . . HILO TORY We, the seniors of ‘41, have reached one rung on the ladder toward success. Our four years in good old B. H. S. have been a good deal of work mixed with an enormous amount of pleasure. ; Worthy of the title as president, Orville Bolstad carried the responsibility of the senior class in a very efficient manner. His able assistants were Donna Jean Olson, Lorraine Gaustad and Jack Stedman. The first social occasion was the traditional Christmas Banquet, at which time Santa Claus dis- tributed gifts to all deserving seniors and, of course, they were all deserving. At the next social gathering the seniors were host and hostess to the Junior Class. This proved a delightful evening for all in attendance On April 2, the class play “Pigs” was skillfully produced under the direction of Mr. John Chalberg. The excellent pig articulations were portrayed by a select group of the faculty and will not soon be forgotten. Class Advisors: Miss Blanche, Mr. Dammann, Mr. Wing Senior Cabinet: D. Fredstrom, J. Nel- son, I. Ritari, R. Godfrey, J. Stedman, C. Harting, S. Stray, M. Behm, D. Olson, D. Croswell, M. Wood, H. Domschot, L. Gaustad, O. Bolstad With spring in the air, seniors’ minds were turned lightly toward the prom, “Dude Ranch”, and the music of Lee Williams. The month of April closed with the Senior Tea sponsored by the Washington P. T. A. With high school days numbered, the month of May brought the annual senior “dress-up day” and its many laughs concluded by a grand old fashioned picnic. Baccalaureate services with Rev. Bolstad as speaker were held on May 25 followed by Com- mencement Exercises on May 30. On this occasion Mr. Christianson gave an excellent talk. Thus high school days were officially ended. With the reader's permission, may we conclude with our class motto. ‘We shall build the ladder by which we shall rise.” page fifteen Meaney eine comet 1 4 aan bed bet bed feed ped pe pe Td = Loo — SALUTATORIAN VALEDICTORIAN 7 Carol pe Ruth = = —_ } — —— | —— | � | page sixteen CAROL JANE ALLISON Salutatorian National Honor Society Honor Graduate ™ = Library Club 2, 3; Jr. Class Play; Brainonian Weekly 2, 3. _ 4 EVERETT ANDERSON j = Stage Crew 2, 3; Hi-Y 2, 3: Annual 2, 3; Prom Commit- . tee 2. “a MYRTLE ANDERSON “Myrt” o Honor Graduate Prom Committee 2; Annual ie Staff 3: G.

Demmers P. Dowling B. Hicks Che Junior Class Yippee!! So can be expressed the atmosphere of the Junior-Senior Prom which took the form of a dude ranch with cowboy and cowgirl murals, a ranch house, chick- ens and horses. Bob Rautus, in his rustic garb, acted as master of ceremonies. Refreshments were served from a chuckwagon while Lee Williams’ orchestrations eman- ated from the confines of a coral. The prom was financed solely by the junior class play (and class dues), and by “Ladies of the Jury,” a humorous court trial, under the direction of Miss Marion Bachelder. The juniors, advised by Miss Lord, Miss Hudson, and Mr. Fisher, were well represented in all school activ- ities. Besides all the high-rated band and choir soloists, special mention should be made of Pat Keith, sports columnist of the Brainonian weekly; Gene Brandt, co- captain of both basketball and football teams; James Halvorson, football co-captain; Donna Koskinen, Com- mercial Club president; Paul Cibuzar who presided over the mock presidential election and who was elected pres- ident of the 1942 Hi-Y; Barbara Kocka, who attained a place on the A honor roll every six weeks; Juanita Clark, Nancy Hitch, and Bonnie Houle who attended the speech festival; Jacquelyn Konshak and Kenneth Hall who car- ried the leads in “Ladies of the Jury; and above all, the junior cabinet and class officers, especially President Duane Arnold who safely steered our barque through all the year’s experience.

This year the customary group of sophomores served at the Junior-Senior Prom. Next year they will try their hand at putting on a “bigger and better’’ prom than ever before. The 1941 sophomores missed out on the “priv- ilege” of being the lower of the underclassmen with the advent of the freshmen into the corridors of Washington High, resuming their position as part of the senior high. ; _The sophomores under the administration of class officers Jack Rankin, James Peterson, Robert Britton and Gene Sundberg, had a class party.

It employed an unusually large cast ot nine players in addition to the jury. The play centers around a jury at a murder trial in which Mrs. Yvette Gordon is accused of murdering her husband. Mr. Jay J. Pressley, the foreman, calls for the verdict so the jury can be dismissed, but Mrs. Crane, a society woman, is the sole holdout. Mrs. Crane wins over the jury one by one until only four, including Mr. Pressley, are left. Mr. Dazey sees the light, and Mrs. Dace col- lapses, but it is not until Mrs. Crane tells Steve Bromm to use drastic measures that a crack on the jaw impresses Mr. Pressley. When he revives, he is told that he attacked Miss Mixter and tried to murder her. After this blackmail and Miss Pratt's change of heart, Mr. Pressley writes the verdict of not guilty and all ends happily. page forty-two -— | ee a a on Pe oe Fe = -te ..5 ¥ | ro. a ee ee | Cast Standing: Clarence Harting (Hector), James Nelson (Mr. Hast- ings), Ardyth Yokie (Prompter), Mildred Behm (Lenore ), Richard Godfrey (Spencer), Dean Warner (Dr. Springer).

The main plot centers around the adoles- cent problems of Junior Atkins, an eighteen year old senior. When he learns of the finan- cial troubles of his parents he’s determined to speculate in a pig proposition. His girl friend, Mildred, becomes very per- plexing and difficult at times. Her main object is to hang on to Junior. His parents don't seem to be much of a help to him and his brother Spencer and his girl friend. . . It's a difficult family. That's not all by far. Junior has a Grand- mother who believes him to be a little scoun- drel. Her favorite son is grouchy and both of them continually pick on Junior, but it’s he who saves the reputation of the family by putting over the “Pig” proposition and getting the money to pay off the mortgage on the farm. page forty-three . _—__————— a po ea —— — “Hector, did you hear me?” ae Girl’s Athletic Association THE GIRL’S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The girl's athletic association this year held their regular meetings on the first Thursday of every month. Here the problems of candy sales, ice cream sales, tournaments, and the like were discussed. The sports chairman and their committees took care of the various tournaments. Every facility was used not only on Friday the regular sports night, but dur- ing homeroom and at noons. A new activity was introduced this year, namely, flag twirling. Brainerd is one of the first cities in Minnesota to sponsor such an activity and the per- forming group received much acclaim at basketball and football games. It is a Swiss art teaching co- , j ' ordintion, balance, rhythm, and poise. Committee Chairman: D. Engel, J. Lee, B. Shoemaker, A badminton team, composed of four members _ M. Anderson, L.

Outstanding for Brainerd were Englert, Saar- inen, Luke, Johnson, and Marshall. Carl Englert set a new district record in the discus. Paul Saar- inen won first in shot and second in discus with Allen Luke winning first in high hurdles and John- son and Marshall placing in dashes and low hur- dles respectively. The outlook for the 1941 cinder men is not par- ticularly bright since Paul Saarinen went with the National Guards and Ed. Marshall is not out for track because of employment.

These boys are: Wosnack, Miller, Warnberg, Madsen, Gardner, Enright, Quanstrom, Hess, Muir, Schier- holtz, Brandt, O’Brien, Johnson, and Foster.
