We have seen our campus undergo many physical changes and no doubt in future years we shall return to note many more. We, as future citizens, must realize that life is always a changing problem. ln order to meet these changes, we should use our experience at school as guideposts along the road to success. Through our extra-curricular activities and classroom teachings we have learned to accept responsibilities and to face problems as they come. May we live to be assured that our school and state will be proud of their citizens who now are known as: The Class of l955. Marvin L. Green, Editor 2 We, the Class of 1955, wish to give recognition to you for having so well provided for our com- fort by your capable handling of our physical plant. In addition to your diligence as supervising engineer, we appreciate your guidance in the classroom, and the appropriate humorous stories that have high-lighted the lessons you have taught. We have learned from you to appreciate and to apply the principles of engineering in our daily lives. We have appreciated your assistance and guidance in the various school activities such as Key Club, freshman football, and class adviser. In recognition of all that you have done for us, Mr. Leslie K. Lindor, we are happy and honored to dedicate the 1955 Moccasin to you. fgggjygsz... S 4 Dedication 757 W,A,.gf1, 3 In Memoriam Superintendent of the West Central School of Agriculture from l9l7 to l938. In memory of Mr. Paul E. Miller whose death occurred on l Thursday, October Qi, l954. L As stood the sturdy elm among its peers ip Along West Central's campus square, L Not yet mature for cutting ' Though well along in years, i Its green boughs reaching toward the stars ' As if it felt the urge to grow l That it might fill a greater spot, ' So this man remained, friend of the student, Wise counselor to know. But sudden squall has laid this giant low: Now toward the earth its massive trunk will bend, The tree that weathered many a gust, Pride of our campus and our friend. - T. S. Long - Q 7 l 1 4 IF' The year 1954-55 will be a memorable one for the West Central School ot Agriculture. It will mark the completion ot the new Home Economics building tor which the Minnesota Legislature in T953 appro- priated a quarter of a million dollars. The Board of Regents on June I3 authorized the employment of Bernard J. Hein at Albert Lea as the architect of this proiect. Temporary quarters tor classes were established in the basement of the Girls' Dormitory and Ag Hall. The equipment was moved out during the last days ot March l954 in preparation tor the next school year. The old building soon disappeared and work on the new commenced in May. This struc- ture will be fully completed and the laboratories equipped and furnished by the fall of 1955. Planned as a laboratory for modern homemaking, the facilities will include unit kitchens, laundry, living-dining area, child-care area, art and home furnishing workshop, clothing construction and grooming area, reference center and lecture rooms. May the girls who will participate in the many activities that this department will undertake in its new home have experiences that will prepare them for gracious, wholesome family living.

Reminiscences of the Class of 1955 1951-1952. With Miss Wempner and Mr. Croom as our advisers, we as a class pitched in and participated in all school activities. Just to prove we weren't as green as we looked, we defeated the sophomores at the annual Fresh- man-Sophomore Field Day. Our first assembly program revealed the talent of the class of 1955. 1952-1953. Our faithful advisers from the previous year guided us through our second year of school. Don Monk was our President. As sophomores we again won the Freshman-Sophomore Field Day. This was the year the Bas- ketball B Squad was composed of all but two sophomore boys. 1953-1954. Marvin Green was chosen to lead our class during our junior year. Miss Nelson and Mr. Croom were elected our advisers. We all had an extra Christmas surprise, for our class rings came iust before we went home for vacation. This was the year three talented people from our class, Virginia Fahlin, Bob Torkelson, and Richard Sivertson started a school orchestra and played for all our class dances. Under the superb direction of Mr. Long we presented the play Glamour Boy . Carol Howard, Virginia Fahlin, Werner Goerke, and Richard Sivertson were selected from our class as delegates to Curtis, Nebraska. With the co-operation of all our class and the guidance and encouragement of our advisers, we put on the Junior-Senior Prom, using Oriental Gardens as our theme. 1954-1955. Our last year and what a year! Ramona Wolff was elected to be our last President. The ten members from our class worked hard to publish the 1955 Moccasin. Our Homecoming King and Queen were JoAnn Mil- ler and Dave Arneson. Their attendants were Janice Berg, Carol Howard, Marv Green and Lyle Nelson. This was the year our football team brought back Ozzie from Crookston. The cross country team also kept Cleo for the fourth year. The Curtis, Nebraska exchange students visited us for a week, and all the Senior Class went to Itasca for a day. We, the Class of 1955, leave behind all these cherished memories and many more with the hope that our pre- sence here has produced equally cherished memories for those who have known us.

Gridiron Review About the thirteenth of September most of the last year's lettermen and a few top sophomore prospects came back for early practice. The fellows worked hard to get in condition and organize a successful team. This year for the first time, they set up and followed certain rules pertaining to their condition and training methods. A sports- man-like conduct and a will to win proved to be the needed accessories of a winning team. With the season completed, the squad won three games, tied one and lost only one game. This year our team was the victor over Crookston in the Conference, the most important game of the season. This was our first conference victory since l95l and we brought the team mascot, Ozzie , home with us. This year the team used a different plan of attack known as the Split T . This form of play proved to be most effective this year, because we had better than average linemen and a very fast backfield. Both of these factors are very important in making the Split T form of play successful. There will be eleven lettermen to start next season. Two of the indi- viduals who will be out to have a winning team next year are Mark Trygstad and Roger Furgeson, the coecaptains for the year, A Squad FIRST ROW: Student Manoger Peter Torvik, Kenneth Nelson, Gordon Swenson, Milo Moons, Arlon Zimmerman, Dennis Moe.

Glenn Daniels Ralph Smivh ww 4 5, ,wr 4' Co- Captains Dave Arrieson and Loren Maahs Wrestling A pre-season glance at the wrestling squad and their prospects for a successful season would have likely proved to be discouraging, as only two members of last yearfs championship team were back for another season on the mat. Mr. Lie, our coach, surveyed the thirty or forty boys who were out to learn to wrestle and began making plans to mold the raw material into a winning group. As the season progressed, the members ofthe squad worked hard to achieve perfection in the various wrestling procedures such as take downs, break aways and pin holds. Several weight classes had many aspirants and at times competition was heavy for a chance to wrestle in a meet, In addition to learning procedures, many boys had to work extra hard to take off weight in order to be safely within the weight limits for their groups. C Student manager for the year was Larry Soliah and his work in the wrestling room made it more cornfor' table and easier for the team members and the coach. Quarters for the past year were in the basement of Senior l-lall. The sport of wrestling requires, in addition to strength, speed and agility, a quick mind and proficiency in the use of holds and methods, The exercises used to warm up and develop the body are very beneficial to the stu- dents participating. ln addition, since wrestling is an individual sport, the pitting of man against man tends to develop the competitive spirit of the contestants. Wrestling is one of the finest sports at West Central. Squad Members FIRST ROW: Loren Maahs, Daryl Krahling, Clifford Volkmann, Denis Weeding, Richard Thorson.

There are about forty members in this club at the present time who meet on the first and third Mon- day of the month. At these meetings they discuss and work on various ways to make athletics at West Cen- tral an activity of interest and value to all concerned. The Lettermen's Club does many things to raise money for athletic equipment. As we now go to press they have plans for a school carnival which will raise funds for athletic goods. The Lettermen's Club is also responsible for taking orders for letter sweaters and school jackets. Because the lettermen are in charge of the lunch- room, the profits from this enterprise are another source of funds which are taken care of by the Letter- men's Club.

Tea At Girl's Dormitory West Central Oct. 24-29 About eleven o'clock we arrived at our destination under sunny skies. Immediately when we arrived everyone abandoned the cars and ran about to explore this scenic place. At noon our lunch was served by the faculty. After lunch everyone drove Through the park visiting places of interest. Among the things vve saw were the mouth of the Mississippi, buffalo, the look-out tower, and many beautiful, towering trees. XNe returned home at about six o'clock tired, but still thrilled over our wonderful trip, On Thursday our guests visited farms near Chokio, to get a better idea hovv we farm in this area. Friday morning our guests left for Nebraska via Waseca. We were sorry to see them depart because many of us had gained them for friends. We hope this exchange of visits will be continued, because it is helpful and interest- ing to become familiar with the purposes and personnel of another School of Agriculture.

After the election of directors and other business, Mr. George Selke, former Chancellor of the University of Nfiontana, delivered the main address of the program which followed. This year the donors of Caleb Dorr Scholarships and Sears Roebuck Scholarships requested that the scholar- ships be awarded to freshman students who were interested in attending this school but who wouldn't be able to do it without financial assistance. Six freshman boys and three freshman girls were awarded this scholarship at the beginning of the school year. Besides the nine freshman students receiving schola'ships, Mr. Croom presented Elaine Aswege of Grace- ville the Caleb Dorr Scholarship for a senior girl, Recipient of the Sears Roebuck Scholarship awarded to a sen- ior boy was Don Buth of Rothsay.

The chorus is composed of approximately sixty members and is under the fine direction of Miss Laree McNeal, The chorus presented two numbers at Parents' Day and also participated in the Music Assembly programs. On a beautiful Sunday December twelfth, this group presented the Christmas Cons cert, The setting for the chorus was a large scene of Bethlehem painted on a backdrop of shaded blues. From heaven above to earth I come , was proclaimed in many of the selections sung by the chorus. Part of the program was sung antiphonally and the second part of the program was sung before the audience. Other groups taking part in the Christmas Concert, were the Girls' Trio, Boys' Quartet, Girls' Quartet, and the freshman girls' choir. Accompanists were Marcella Knapp and Miss Moen. Much inspira- tion has been given by the choir through songs sung at Vespers, Baccalaureate and Commencement.

The operetta, The Fortune Teller, a comedy, written by Victor Herbert vvas selected, This is the first time in several years that an operetta has been presented at West Central. The setting of this operetta is the terrace of Count Berezovvskfs Chateau in Livonia, a small European kingdom, l-le has invited the Grand Opera Ballet to his Chateau be- cause he is trying to locate a lottery ticket vvhich belongs to King Gustaf, Count Bere- zovvski believes that the ballet girl, lrma, has the ticket so he tries every trick to get it. l-le is ready to marry her, but she has different plans, she loves Captain Ladislaus. She is then told that her brother, Fedor has deserted the army and that to save him, she must marry the Count, lt is finally revealed that her brother has not deserted and that it vvas only a plot of Count Berezovvski's to marry her and get the ticlcet. She is then free to marry Captain Ladislaus. The ticlcet is found but has no more significance so the Count has no alternative, but to be content with Madam Pompon, the Prima Donna of the Grand Opera.

Home Management House Mix together in one houset four or five girls, all the spare time they have, all the humor they can squeeze into each day, the successes and failures of a homemaker, and let simmer for six weeks. Results? Six credits and the Home Management House. This year the senior girls were divided into four groups, each residing in the House for six weeks. Each girl in her turn performs duties as second cleaner, first cleaner, second cook, first cook, and finally manager. Here the girls learn the big jobs of homemaking, as well as another important lesson of life, that of working with others. Mrs. Fern Johnson has again been the resident instructor this year. Life in the House would not be the same without her, for her helpful and understanding ways are all a part of life there. We, of WCSA, are fortunate in having an opportunity to train young homemakers in this manner. To our knowledge we are the only school in this area where a girl may receive this training onthe high school level. FRONT: Carol Dewey, Janice Oakstrom, Lucille Hensch.

Some of the projects discussed and acted upon during the past year have been: conducting tire drills in the various dormitories in order to acquaint the inhabitants with the correct procedure in the event ot a real tire, planning the vocational guidance day tor the senior classes at our school and the high schools ol the surrounding areas, the purchasing ot markers tor Miller Field, which is our football field, named in honor ot the late P. E. Miller, the construction of a large waste paper receptical to help keep our campus neater. The Key Club has in the past year continued to maintain a iukebox in the lunchroom and to sell pop and candy at the home basketball games. This year, tor the first time, several meetings were held in which the boys had the opportunity ot bring- ing to the meeting the ladies ot their choice. These Ladies' Nights were much enioyed by all as a special program was arranged for the occasion. Six members, Duane Anderson, Marvin Green, Richard Sivertson, Stan Weeding, Larry Sterzinger, and Den- nis Heitner attended the District Officers Meeting at St. Paul with their expenses paid by the Key Club. Thirty boys make up this organization. They are elected by the members themselves: six from the sophomore class, ten from the junior class and tourteen tram the senior class. Our adviser tor the past year was Mr. Croom, but because ot his many duties and responsibilities as principal, he was unable to act as our adviser. Mr. Lindor very effectively took over the job, and his advice and guidance were appreciated by all members at the club. Green.

To represent the students on the council this year the classes elected: Virginia Fahlin, president, Howard McAloney, vice-president, Elyvon Olson, secretary, Jackie Hervey, Beverly Banken, Sharilyn Chapman and Michael Bach, Miss Stevens, faculty adviser. At 9 o'clock every Monday evening the council met in the library to consider carefully any suggestions or complaint submitted by the students. Action was taken to make improvements whenever possible. Some results of the councils activity were the use of the public address system for assembly announcements so that all might hear them, steps were taken to make the dinner line more orderly, Many other minor improve- ments were made around the campus, This year the council attempted by means of posters and assembly announcements to reach all students and learn their wishes. The Council used its influence to make the Wednesday night dances more enjoyable. it swift. ,Q-v::+.,w5 ' . Changes or ammendments to school life start here. 63 V' Bertel Jensen Last .lune a resolute young Dane named Bertel Jensen arrived on our campus, Less 'nan twa weeks before, he had left his native Rorbaek, Denmark, determined to see America and learn as much as he could about the operation of the West Central School of Agriculture. During the intervening months he has visited twenty-four states, worked for three months as a gardener, attended class at West Central for six months, and had other cos varying from arritor in Senior Hall to pa.nter. Bertel was an instructor at the Naesgaord Agricultural School vihere he taught dairying, plant diseases, and insect control. He has also been employed at the Askov Denmark Experiment Station both before and after his graduation from the Royal 'x'c-tc-itnarian and Agriculture College of Copennagen. When asked to compare schools of agriculture in Denmark with the West Central School of Agriculture Bertel replied that one of the main differences is the age of the student body Danish agriculture students are often 20 to 25 years old. Courses are more concentrated there, and most students attend only one or two winters. Bertel likes our system of free education and the fact that our school has a four year course. He believes a boarding school is an excellent place to develop oneself socially He believes a boarding school is an excellent place to develop oneself socially. He says that all students should consider it a privilege to attend here and to do their utmost to preserve the beauty of the campus and to help maintain excellent facilities. What are his plans for the future? Bertel will return to Denmark this spring and hopes once more to teach agriculture. He is happy that Dean Penske, during his trip to Denmark in l953, told him about West Central and helped arrange his trip here. lncidentally, Bertel has extended an invitation to any of his West Central friends to visit Denmark He promises them the trip would be interesting and Because of the enthusiasm aroused during the trip to Nebraska concerning the possibility of organizing a worthwhile successful Car Club, the present Club was initiated this year under Mr, Edson's direction. The main objective ofthe Car Club is to provide students with the use of their cars for transportation between school and their homes. This year a new plan for driving on weekends was proposed. This plan allows students to drive their cars during week- ends providing they drive only when necessary and do not violate the rules of the Club. The organization has a membership of about thirty individuals. Every member is required to have his license on record and must abide by all rules and regulations set up by the Club. Officers selected for this year are Werner Goerke, President, and Fred Forcier, Secretary-treasurer. As we go to press, we may say that, so far, this year has been a good one for the members.

To start off the day the freshman will all remember, they had to report to l-lealth Service for shots. The weather was all but pleasant, as it rained off and on all day. ln spite of the weather, the freshman still were clad in their strange costumes which the sophomores required them to wear. The boys wore their ieans and shirts inside out, plus rolling their jeans to the knees. They also wore a large man's work shoe on one foot and one of their own on the other. To complete their outfit they wore a gunny sack over their shirt, plus red fingernail polish on every other fingernail. The girls wore mens' bib overalls, one wool sock, and a man's work shoe plus one of their own. Their hair was worn pulled to the top of their heads and a man's hat. They wore lipstick around their lips only. The relays, which were the first among many contests held, put the sophomores ahead by a good margin. The onnual sophomore-freshman cross-country meet was held next. Again the sophomores defeated the freshmen. The boys played a game of touch football which ended in a tie. The freshman girls won the annual softball game. Soft- ball and cross-country counted TOO points for the winning side. The final score was 210 for the freshmen and 490 for the sophomores. 76 Aanerud Dayld I4I Aanerud James I Aanerud Lls LI A Ield Bonnte 2 Ahlsten George IQI Abertson Allen 3 Anderson Andrea 3I Anderson Anderson Anderson Anderson Anderson Anderson Irell DavId 2 Duane 4 Geraldlne I nlce I Martin 3 Arneson Davrd I4 Aswege Armand 2 Aswege El Ine 4 ac Darrell Bac Mtchael I Bakko Orval I4 Banken Beverly I2 Banken Nancy 4 Banken Becker Becker Bedow Bedow 7'Berg Berg Berger Berger Berger 'X Berger Theo 4I Edward I James Roger R nald I Janrce I4I P rIcIa I Dwatne I2 een II Jerry 4 Berger LaVonne ll Ver ell I3I Getchell Davld 2 Beyer Beyer Beyer Beyer Davld l4I Milton Phyllus Ronald I2l KBISVIHQET Robert 4I Blorgan Kenneth I2I Boelsen Rrchard II Borowskl James BrIdel Howard I3 Brlnk Larry l2I Brink Marlyn Brown Rlchard C2 Donnelly Donnelly Donnelly Rothsay Vancouver Wash Foxhome OrtonvIlle Montevldeo Herman Fergus Falls Donnelly Donnelly Foxhome Glenwood G acevllle Gracevllle Danvers Grantte Falls Sedan Appleton Appleton Appleton Farwell Farwell Arco Arco Chokro Choklo Norcross Norcross Norcross Norcross Norcross Holloway Morrls Hancock Appleton Sauk Centre Appleton Holloway Fergus Falls DeGraff Brooten Brooten Appleton Bruce Peggy 3I Whtte Rock S Dak Bruehl Charles III Brunner Ph lltp I3 Burg James l4I Buth Don l4I CarrIer Margaret l2I Carrter Merle l4I C apln Luvern III Chapman Mavis 41 Chapman Sharllyn III D Iey D ms lll Danrelson Lornell l2I DePesteI Lorrame I2I Dewane Joseph ISI Dewey Carol l4I Dourna Orlyn I2I MInneapolIs Granite Falls Browns Valley Rothsay Kenstngton KensIngton Slsseton Donnelly Donnelly Prpestone Correll Porter Morrrs Campbell Blomkest Directory Dueker Denis A en Robert 2 Eggers Eggers Eggum Marvel Eggum T uman I Ellxngson Alden 3 Elvecrog Dean 2 Enger Warren I Englund DeloIes 4 Erdman Norman I E c son Arlne 4 Erlandson Gary I Erlandson Irene 4 Erlandson Marcus 2 Ernst Wesley ISp Eskelson Harvey 2 Fabtan Peter 2 F In Floyd 4 Fa In Vtrglnla 4 Fehr Leroy 3 Fe r Lloyd I2 remrlte G rvrn 4 Fenner Rlchard 4 Feuchtenberger Wall: Flnberg Jamce 3 Forcler Fredertck 4 Formo Charles Frtgaard Loren Fronnlng Orrls Fronnnng Thllman I Fuerstenberg D vld I Fuhrman Eugene 3 s VIFQII Gades Gerald 3 Gades Walter 3 Gallagher Joseph 2 Glesne Douglas 3 Gltmsdal Stanley 2 Goerke Werner 4 Graff Arnold 2I Graff Wallace II Green MarvIn 4 G einer Roland I West Unlon Ros olt S Dak Rosholt S Dak Dalton Dalton Sunberg Appleton MadIson Rosholt S Dak Holloway Beardsley Fergus Falls Fergus Falls Fergus Falls Alberta Sedan Campbell Kensrngton Kenslngton Morrls Morrrs Lowry Holloway s 3 Morrls Clinton Wheaton Dalton Dalton Fergus Falls Fergus Falls Wrlmont Gracevtlle Donnelly Holloway Holloway Danvers Glenwood Sunburg Appleton Loursburg Donnelly Donnelly Underwood Morrts Gulbrandson Jeannett Dumont Gunderson Alvtn 2 Haarstad Glorla 3 ,Hagen Shlrley H Ordell 3 Hallaway Jackte Sp Hamer Ernest II Hamer Wtlhm Hamersma Verna Hamrlton Lnlace Hammer Arthur Hardy James 2 Hasbargen Jacob 2 Hasbargen Wallace 3 Hedtke James II Hegreberg Larry Helfner Dean 2I 77 Chokro Rothsay Underwood Cottonwood Holloway Lake Benton Lake Benton Florence Schroeder Rothsay Ros olt S Dak Breckenrndge Whnte Rock S Dak Spicer Spicer Rosholt S Dak Helfner Dennls Hennen Roger I Henry Byron I Hensch Edward Hensch Hervey Lu Ille Jackre 3 Rosholt S Dak Morris Madlson Doran Doran Wheaton Hlnterrnelster Kenneth 3 Hoffman James 4 Hoffman Kenneth 2 Hoffman Wesley 3 Horn Roger 4 Hofmann Dale 4 Hormann Jane 3 Howard Hubbard Hubbard Constance DennIs 2 Heubner u Hundeby Carol 4 Shelby Ferg us Falls Danvers Holloway Hancock Underwood Wheaton Wheaton Mont Morrts Morrts Morris Eugene 4 Beardsley Jacobs Dale I Wheaton Jacobs Jrmmre 2 Glenwood Jennen Jules I Fergus Falls Jensen Jensen Jensen Jerome Jensen Marvm Jerpseth Marltn Johannsen James I Johannsen Marlene Johnshoy Herbert 3 Johnson Ardls 3 Johnson Daryl I2 Johnson Dennrs Johnson Dennls G Bertel Sp Rorbek St Denmark Delmer 3 Belgrade DeGraff Kenslngton Madtson P pestone 4 Plpestone Starbuck Lake Benton Fergus Falls Morris Underwood Johnson Johnson Johnson Pau H Richard Tallack JnesNIl3 Westport Kensmgton Sunburg Benson Jorgenson Roger 2 Jorschumb Robert I Juergensen Perry Karels Rtchord 2 Karow Vnctor 4 Kaufman Wayne :ey Dale Klergaard Glenyce I4I Klergaard Nmola I Keesple Arlyn I Knapp C Gordon 2 'Knapp Marcella 3 Knutson Raymond 3 Koel Gerald 4 Koel Kenneth Koehl Rebecca 4 Koosman Harvey 2 Koosman Raymond QI Kosen D vnd I Kosen Donald I2 Kra Img Daryl I4 Kaus Dallas II Kronschnabel August Kudrna David I2I Montevldeo Gracevtlle Morrns Stone S Dak Hoffman Browns Valley Ivanhoe Lake Benton Lake Benton Correll Foxhome Hancock Underwood Hancock Hancock Hancock Holloway Holloway Wood Lake Wood Lake Grove Cnty Rosholt S Dak Pine Rtver Lynd ' o I I I I , II III h , . . , ' , o' I I I I I -
