These are our faithful cleaner-uppers who because of our many Moments of cheerful carelessness have had to toil many long hours, sweeping dust covered floors, picking up wee pieces of paper, candy wrappers, orange peelings, and remnants of what was once pencils and ink spattered floors. Then there were those pet mice that had to be herded and corralled. We sincerely hope that the above will find it within their power to forgive us for our thoughtlessness and taking-things-for-granted.

SENIOR CLASS WILL

Ladies and gentlemen, Board of Education, Superintendents, Teachers and friends. Upon behalf of my client, the class of 1941 of Hartland High School of the City of Hartland, State of North Dakota, USA, I have called you together upon this solemn and serious occasion to listen to her last will and testament, and to receive from her dying hand the few gifts she has to bestow in her last moments. We have tried to be very generous and impartial, so everyone will receive a small gift. Listen then, one and all, while I read the document as duly drawn up and sworn to:

We the class of 1941, in six individual and distinct parts, being of about to pass out of this sphere of education, in full possession of crammed mind, well trained memory, and almost super human understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills or promises made by us.

There are certain debts which our class owes. First of all we owe our teachers a great deal of thanks for cramming our minds with foolish ideas, and next we owe thanks to our parents who have sent us to school.

Article I -- To the juniors we leave our desks and request that they share with their tacks the honor of filling them; also, to this unworthy herd, we leave our position by the windows so that they will take more panes with their work, our orderly class meetings and our unique individuality.

Article II -- In addition to these generous gifts, we give to the other students our individual offerings. Marlowe Erickson wills to Roy Assels the ability to keep quiet; he also wills his ability in basketball to Selmer Norgard (He needs IT). Yvonne McKenzie gives her good looks and pleasing personality to Gail Solem and Violet Vedvig. Grace Norgard leaves to Mae Johnson her many giggles, hoping she will take care of them. Grace would also like to will the position of valedictorian to Mabel Vangsness. Inez Skinningsrud gives to Richard Norgard her big, beautiful, blue eyes and her position of being the shortest on in the class. Glenn Vangsness wills to Floyd Stockdill and Ralph 13

Kolloen and to Selmer Norgard he gives his pleasing personality. Lloyd Peterson wills to Gerald Norgard his extra sense which enables him to get by with all his mischief. He also gives to Loren Kolloen his ability to get along with the girls without getting his face slapped.

Having given away all these treasures which we will no longer need, we affix the seal on this twenty-ninth day of May in the year of 1941. Signed, SENIOR CLASS

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY

In the early part of September in the 1937, seven young enthusiastic and excited freshmen entered this institution to receive knowledge and wisdom. And as they did enter this institution of learning they were received with much welcoming with which the sophomores were very generous. This class together with the others and long-suffering teachers lead them through the first slippery way along the by-ways of. In the fall of 1938, we entered school with a brighter outlook and with the sincere intentions of studying. The boys as well as the girls took part in extra-curricular activities and go well grounded in the rules and regulations of the school. The junior year rolled around --- and of course we must give a play. After we had the books, and the first act learned, we decided on a basket social instead. The proceeds from this highly successful venture were used in playing hosts to the seniors on a trip to Bismarck. Nuf said! At the beginning of the fourth and last year, they found that they had been finally honored with the title Seniors. They again found a change in teachers, and lost one of their classmates, Lorraine Buttedahl, who moved to Seattle, Washington. This year we did present the play, Look Out, Lizzie, which people who saw it said was good. At the basketball tournament, two of our class brought honors to us Lloyd

14

Peterson winning the free-throw contest, and Marlowe Erickson being chosen as an AllStar player. We went to Bismarck again this year for our Skip Day trip, but we did have some new experiences over last year; such as, going up for our first airplane ride, talking over the radio, visiting the Truax-Traer coal mine at Velva, the old Ft. Lincoln, and the Bad Lands on our return. All in all Hartland High School is losing a wonderful class when they graduate the Senior Class of 1941, and no one realizes it quite as much as we. Besides the many accomplishments of the members so far, we all have latent talents which we hope will be developed in the near future.

SENIOR CLASS PHOPHECY

As I resting from my days work on a park bench I was surprised to see lying on the ground the Hartland Daily News, dated July 30,1951. To my surprise and amazement the headlines were: Nuts from the Nuthouse voted the most popular radio program.This headline puzzled me until I read the rest of it. Lloyd Peterson and Glenn Vangsness, my inseparable classmates of Hartland High School, had developed their friendship into a business proposition, a radio program. Glenn pilots his own plane and Lloyd is his mechanic. Glenns hobbies are taking candid pictures of Lloyd and his many girl friends. As I glanced on page two of the Hartland News, I noticed my boat friend, Inez Skinningsrud, had fulfilled her wish of owning a cattle ranch in New Mexico. She enjoys cooking for the cowboys and her hobbies are collecting rattles from Rattle snakes and breaking wild horses. I was surprised to see that Marlowe Erickson had won the Oscar award for being the best actor in Hollywood. I never would have thought that bashful Marlowe would win such an honor. His hobbies are sailing in his yacht and visiting the zoo. Grace Norgard lives in a penthouse in New York City on Fifth Avenue. She enjoys giving parties and balls for charity. In private life she is the script writer for the Amos n Andy program. Her hobbies are visiting the night clubs and raising frog legs for her society friends.

15

Yvonne McKenzie is an air stewardess on the Northwest Airlines. She makes a round trip to Liverpool, England to San Francisco in twenty-four hours. She has quite a profitable hobby, collecting gold from old false teeth. She spends her vacations on Inezs cattle ranch. I really am thankful I happened to see that newspaper, because now I know the future of my classmates of 1941. **************

But as all good mellodramers end, he turned up to prove himself the hero instead of the villain, making possible two happy marriages and a comfortable existence for the old folks, who might live happily ever after on the homestead mortgage-free. 17

JUNIOR HISTORY
On a bright September morn in 1938, eight lettuce-colored freshmen entered Hartland High, bashfully grinning at the smirking upper classmen. Of the first year initiation week stands cut clearest in our minds with its visions of stuffed overalls, paddles, and walking backwards to classes. In our second year Gladys Arneson left us to go to Sidney, Montana and Allyn Larson to Minot. Our sophomore year brought us a new faculty consisting of Miss Pauline Olson and Mr. Archie Mehus. We spent this year listening to tall stories and torturing the freshmen. Here we are as juniors, only five of us left after Jerold Rostad left us for Carpio. We are eagerly awaiting that coveted station in life which is known as seniorhood, although the memories of our junior year in Hartland High will ever remain with us as having one of our most enjoyable of our life so far.

THE PATTERN
Every worker in the quarry has his part in lifes great plan; Lifts his blocks in the mosaic when he plays his part as man. Cleansing sod or drawing water, all are working toward a goal; Putting all the best thats in them to the making of a soul. Weaving hope and praise and service with the labor of their hands; If theyre faithful to the Pattern, that is all that God demands. Not just work with costly fabrics! Crushing stone or cutting sod, Man can glorify whats lowly when he does it as to God! Lemley.

SOPHOMORE HISTORY
A group of seven green freshies entered Hartland High School in the year of 1930, consisting of five boys and two girls. Although having to endure many hardships and difficult study, the class enjoyed its first year immensely. At the beginning of the year we elected our class officers and held meetings regularly throughout the year. When the school year was well under way and we were becoming better acquainted with our upper-classmen, the sappy sophomores got the bright idea of initiating us. We pulled through initiation better than our superiors expected, and then we were full-fledged high school students. As sophomores we feel as though were as important as any of our upper classmen. One of our beloved class members has left us, however, the ever-smiling chap, Ralph Hagen. At the present time he is enrolled in a CCC camp in Minnesota. The sophomores play an active part in the school activities. They are popular members of the glee club, pep squad, basketball and kittenball teams. Little by Little theyre making themselves indispensable ****************

HAPPINESS
Who seeks afar for happiness will find it not. It stands a guest unheeded at the very door today. Open thine eyes to see, thine ears to hear Thy heart to feel

The call for touch of human sympathy; In answering this there enters and close beside thee sits The guest though soughtest in vain afar.

FRESHMAN HISTORY
In September the freshman class went from a class of seven to six jolly fellows. Before initiation class membership dwindled down to three girls, Eveline Rostad moved to Carpio where she enrolled, Clarence Struckness moved to Berthold, quit school and joined the Gs, was Loren Thompson frightened by being the only boy left among three females, he dropped out and is now helping at home. Initiation week the freshman came to school just as happy and full of mischief as ever. Everyone laughed at their overalls worn back-to-front and accessories to match. It became quite a temptation to the juicy potato tied around their neck, and by the time the week was over, the potato had been previously devoured. We have never quite recovered from the wearing gobs of paint the wrong way. The three freshmen girls have maintained their exuberant reputation all through the nine months of school as the most quiet and obedient class in Hartland history this has been copied word for word from history without complementary distance.

We had two parties this year, the Valentine Party and the Mothers Day Party. At the first the pupils each brought something for lunch and the seventh and eighth graders passed out the valentines. The Mothers Day Party was given with the lower grade room. All the mothers were invited, a program was given especially for them, and lunch was served by Mr. Anderson and Miss Runningen. This year Joyce Tollefsrud, Garnet Vedvig, and Delores Evenson took part in declaration. Delores represented the room at the Declaration festival last fall in Minot and got a rating of B. Several of our group belonged to the Tonette band organized this year by Supt. Fossum as an introductory course in learning to read notes, keep time, and accustomed to fingering an instrument. The Tonette band received an A rating at the Spring Festival in Minot. They also entered the Amateur Contest at Carpio and appeared several times at various programs at the school. They wore red capes and red and white sashes. The sixth, seventh, and eight grade girls were members of the glee club, which met regularly on Mondays and Wednesdays throughout the year. Ruth Tollefsrud, Delores Evenson, and Esther Vangsness participated in the high school girls basketball activities, serving as substitutes at the games. The boys had an active basketball team this year, playing games with several outside teams, winning a majority of them. Those on the team were: Gerald Norgard, capt., Marvin Peterson, Paul Skinningsrud, Virgil Evenson, Duane Vedvig, and Walter Norgard. For the last semester of the year Mr. Anderson appointed three committees for keeping the room decorated. The persons on the committee which was voted as the best each received a ten cent treat at the end of the year. Each committee tried to outdo the other and as a result the room really looked lovely. The committees were as follows: No. 1--Delores E., Esther V., Gerald N., Paul S., Ione M., Lois P., Ila R.; No. 2---Ruth T., Delores E., Marvin P, Duane V., Joyce T., Walter N., Donna Mae E.; No. 3000Carol H., Margaret E., Virgil E., Robert D., Mavis T., Joan E., Raymond H., Garnet V., Loren W. Esther Vangsness and Delores Evenson played clarinets in the school orchestra.

The honor students---those who had almost an A average---are: Marlene Hovland and Pauline Kinsella Dale Norgard and Dolores Ann Erickson had the most perfect attendance in the room, each having missed only one day. One of the nicest projects carried on by the room, that is; the first and second graders, was the making of the American flag out of small squares of paper folded so as to give a waffly effect. During the course of the year we lost two students and gained one. Adele Mae Lawson moved away and Herbert Norgard returned to his home in South Dakota, while Delores Ann Erickson moved into Hartland from the school west of town. The total number in the room the greater part of the year was thirteen.

This year a basketball session was marked by definite success, even though our team placed third in the tournaments. All games were well fought, with a fine display of basketball knowledge throughout. Regardless of gains or losses, the team worked with fine spirit through out the year, and a great deal of credit is due the coach, Mr. Anderson. Marlowe Erickson, one of the outstanding players on the team, was unable to play in a greater share of the games because of an attack of pneumonia early in the year which left him in a weakened condition for about two months. However, he was able to play in the tournament, and together with Loren Kolloen, was chosen as anal Star player. Lloyd Peterson won the free-throw contest at the tournament, sinking 20 out of 26 throws.

The Pep Club is an organization whose membership consists of all of the girls in the high school. The purpose is to go to the basketball games played by the boys and cheer them on to victory, this past season they were present at every game played, which is the reason why our basketball team was such a success. The girls organized in the fall at the opening of the basketball season and continue their activities until all

the games were over. They obtained money for transportation by selling lunch at the home games and this year sponsoring, with the boys, a basket social. Their president was Yvonne McKenzie and their treasurer, Violet Vedvig. Grace Norgard served as secretary. Violet and Gail were cheer leaders the first half of the season, Yvonne and Inez the last half. The girls had a bit of trouble deciding on uniforms but they finally agreed on blue corduroy skirts, red crew-necked sweater, white shirts, and red campus socks. Outside of their regular yelling activities, the girls performed at one of the home games by a flashlight drill, which was really colorful. Everyone was proud of this fine organization and the girls themselves had a lot of fun belonging. 38

39

SCHOOL CARNIVAL This attraction for the purpose of raising funds for school activities and equipment was a great success. A program consisting of an orchestra number, a few short skits, the rhythm band and the girls Glee Club was first presented. Then the annual carnival attractions such as booths, popcorn and candy, funny hats, bingo, hot dogs, pie and coffee followed. Proceeds were used for purchasing the duplicator which made this annual possible, and for paying part of the cost of a new set of Comptons encyclopedias. BASKET SOCIAL This social sponsored by the girls Pep Squad and the boys basketball team was well attended. After the short program came something of interest to all the basket auction, with our indispensable Kenneth Johnson as auctioneer. The triple basket belonging to Gail, Grace, and Violet won first prize as being the nicest decorated. The proceeds helped transport the girls to the games and to buy warming jackets for the team. INITIATION Almost fruitless was the long search carried on by the blood thirsty sophs for the timorous freshie girls the night of initiation. Not able to hold out against the threats screamed into the darkness by their superiors they finally consented to go through with the ordeal. After a fast ride down the stairs culminating on the gym floor with a plunge bare feet first into an icy pan of water, the girls were led on the delicacies created according to the wild recipes of the sophomore boys. When led into the center of a circle of spectators they nobly put on a little program of their own. When the sophs decided to grant mercy they brought on some really fine vittles and everyone went home tired from games and full from overeating. (By the way, the freshies had a bit of company in their misery, because this also happened to b the night of Kenny and Emmas chivari and they were brought in to partake of the punishment with the girls).

40

AMATEUR HOUR The Amateur Hour was sponsored by the juniors to raise money to play hosts to the seniors on Skip Day. Unfortunately, the weather man decided that this was the day for rain with the result that the roads were muddy and kept many people away. There were eight numbers on the program, six of which were vocal solos. First prize went to Richard Norgard for his song, Soldier Boy. Second and third prizes went to the Carpio Baton Twirlers and Arlene Larson, respectively. Participation in games and lunch followed. And last of allsomething all enjoyedthe Grand March, led by Supt. Riebs and Mrs. Rieb of Carpio. PTA The Parent Teachers Association met regularly every month in the school building, with Mrs. Selmer Hovland presiding as president. This year this group affiliated with themselves with the national organization. The objects of the association are: to promote the welfare of children and youth, to raise the standards of home life, to secure adequate laws for the protection and care of youth, and to bring into closer relation the home and the school. As a project of material benefit to the school, the PTA this year helped pay for the new set of encyclopedias. The final formal meeting of the year resulted in a re-election of Mrs. Hovland as president, Mrs. Archie Thompson vice-president, and Lois Young secretary-treasurer. The picnic which concludes the school year is under the auspices of the local PTA, also. SKIP DAY Six senior, five juniors, three teachers, and a wife went skipping to Bismarck May 9 and 10. The first stop was the Truax-Traer mine at Velva, where the party was shown around the entire mine by a most gracious guide. Covered with coal dust, they arrived at the Capitol City in time to eat lunch at the Capitol Cafeteria. The other events of the day included a thorough sight-seeing tour of the capitol, museum, penitentiary, and Ft. Lincoln. The seniors treated themselves to their first airplane ride, while everyone enjoyed inspecting the big bomber, and the passenger planes which landed while they were at the field. Supper outdoors at the cabins and a show ended Friday. Saturday they visited the bakery, old Ft. Lincoln, and the Training School, coming home via Richardson, Elbowwoods and north. Oh, I forgotseveral of the students talked over the radio thrilling the home folks with their wit. All in all it was a plenty grand experience for every participant.

The project of publishing was a novel undertaking and at first, even after tasks were assigned and the staff thoroughly organized, we had only a hazy idea of the work involved.

Any success that may be due this annual is to be credited to the tolerant advisors, cooperative staff, and the people outside of school who have helped in any way. 45

GRADE REPRESENTATIVE STUDENTS

Back Row: Esther Vangsness, Mavis Thompson, Lois Peterson, Gerald Norgard. Front Row: Tarley Mehus, Paulina Kinsella, Marlene Hovland, Mary Ellen Runglin

Another new feature was introduced into school life this year with the selection of representative students from each grade. The entire room voted for a candidate from each grade. Then two who had received the highest number of votes were voted on gain by the entire room, the one receiving the simple majority being chosen as the representative. The results were as follows: Eighth grade---Gerald Norgard; seventh---Esther Vangsness; sixth--Mavis Thompson; fifth---Lois Peterson; fourth---Tarley Mehus; third---Mary Ellen Runglin; second---Pauline Kinsella; first---Marlene Hovland.

Choices were based upon the following points: scholarship, ability in school activities, popularity, achievement, character, sportsmanship, and loyalty.

46

HIGH SCHOOL REPRESENTATIVE STUDENTS

Elaine Mehus, Hazel Mehus, Mabel Vangsness, Lloyd Peterson

The selection of the high school representative students was carried on in the same manner as the grades. One representative being chosen from each class the results were as follows: Freshman---Elaine Mehus; sophomores---Hazel Mehus; Juniors--Mabel Vangsness; seniors---Lloyd Peterson.

Again choices were based upon the following points: scholarship, sportsmanship, loyalty, ability in school activities, popularity, character, and achievement.

SPORTSMANSHIP

Sportsmanship is something that every person should strive for, especially high school students. One can be a good sportsman in the following ways; by always doing as told; being polite to fellow-students and teachers; by being honest at all times; by always doing ones best; by being friendly to everyone; by trying to work all the harder after a failure has been suffered.

Some students are good sportsman while others are not. It usually follows that the students with good sportsmanship receive the high marks, while the poor sportsman receive the low marks.

I believe that some persons are born with certain sportsman like qualities, while others are not. The ones with the poorer sportsmanship should not be forced to do something that seems almost impossible for them to do as they will then become so aware of their inferiority along that certain line that they will develop an intense hatred for that thing. Of course, they should try to overcome their inferiorities, if possible.

We can all try to be polite and attain some success. Above all, whether in work or play, the student should be honest. From childhood to old age this principle is stressed. If everyone were honest, we would not have any need for many reform institutions. We should all try to do our best, especially in school work. We can always try to have our lessons prepared and to be courteous while in class, so as to benefit ourselves by learning more. After we have worked very hard and realize that it is all ended in failure, we should strive all the harder and not give up as many do.

By practicing sportsmanship now, we influence our future careers. In almost every occupation, much good sportsmanship is required. Unless one is willing to do his best and to sacrifice much for the general public, he will not satisfy the people around him, whether in the home or serving as the President of the United States.

DINNERTIME

The noon bell rings. Students throw books into their desks and slam the drawers shut. When the teacher says, youre dismissed theres a mad rush for dinner pails followed by a dash down the stairs to the lunch room. (Do you wonder why everyone is in such a hurry: Ill give you the main reason. For at least a half hour the aroma of vegetable soup has been floating through the air.) Everyone grabs a cup and tries to be the first to get his. Then you hear shouts such as these: Wheres the salt? Pass the pepper, please, and I havent got a spoon! With everyone taken care of temporarily, the room quiets down. The girls usually eat more slowly and quietly, because they havent basketball on their minds as do the boys. Twenty minutes after twelve you hear murmurs of, Oh, Im sooo full! and Gee, that was swell soup. Can I have some more? Such is the everyday occurrence in our school with Alice Mehus as chief disher-upper and bottle (?) washer.

MY LIFE

Fate provided that I should be a mouse. I dont think that any other rodent suffers so many hair-breath escapes.

One warm spring I was born in a dark, damp cellar beneath some dirty sacks with my five brothers. When I was four weeks old, poor papa mouse was killed by an ugly dog, while soon after this mama was caught in a horrible trip. We were two young to realize the depth of our great lose then, but when we had to earn our own living we knew what a hard time our dear parents had had.

Of the terrible experiences I have had, I believe that the most drastic occurred when a large monster known as a cat chased me. When the horrid animal held me under her paw I said my prayers and bade good-bye to this cruel world. But miracles will happen, and to this day, I think that one did then, because I found myself free to scamper into a hole in the plaster-broken wall.

To this day I reside in the same cellar in which I was born waiting for death to call me, as I have lived a long, eventful life. To my many grandchildren I wish as long an escape from the jaws of death as Ive had.

WE, AMERICAN CITIZENS

We, the citizens of the United States, should support our country and be loyal to it. Some of the many ways we can show our loyalty and good citizenship are: be patriotic, know the laws of our country, take part in the voting, uphold our American ideals.

We, American citizens, should be patriotic. We should know the national patriotic songs and the pledge to the flag. But, if is not enough to know these things. We must form the habit of doing these things by practice. Do not be afraid or ashamed to salute the flag or stand when the national anthem is being played. We should be proud that we live in a free country. Why not let everyone know it?

We cannot expect to be loyal American citizens if we do not know the laws of our country. We cannot enforce or abide by the laws when we have not heard of them. We should study books and pamphlets that contain them. We cannot take an active part at the polls if we do not understand the laws. Many people who do not vote kick at the government. These kids of people do not have a right to give their opinions of our government.

If everyone tried to improve and uphold our American ideals, just think of what a better America we would have! But many of the citizens have not heard of our ideals. So many of these kinds of people who indulge in crime and low forms of work are lowering our American standards. Let us, the true Americans, try to rid our America of these evils.

Come on Americans! Let us try to make our country a better land in which to live: a true American, land of OPPORTUNITY!

WHY DID THE CROWD CHEER?

This question is asked first by a person who understands the game, but had not been paying attention. It is answered:

Oh, what a wonderful play! The center forward passed the ball to the left forward and he passed it to the right forward. John made a left-handed shot while he was overguarded by his opponents. It was perfect teamwork! 51

The question is asked by a 1 year old child who doesnt know much about the game but is very interested. It is answered thus:

The man in the green shirt passed the ball to No.5 and he passed it to No.3, who made a basket while the two men in white shirts were watching him so closely that it was almost impossible for him to shoot. Good teamwork is one of the things one should work for, Tommy. One must also be able to think quickly, because much of the success of your playing depends on how quickly one moves.

The same question is asked by one of the mothers who does not understand the game, but came to watch her son play. It is answered:

You see, Mrs. Johnson, the player with No.7 on his suit threw the ball to No.5 and he passed it to your son, who made a basket while the Foxholm players were overguarding him.

Y.M.

THE AUTOBIOGRPHY OF A FLY I was born in a garbage can along with my brothers and sisters. It is lucky for me that the garbage man was lazy that day, because if he werent I wouldnt be here to tell my story.

My childhood stages were uninteresting. In fact, my life didnt really begin until I became a winged fly as you see me now. My daylight activities were mainly hunting for food, which was very difficult because I had to crawl. Now I am able to see the world

very easily. Most of my time is spent flitting about the house. My greatest worry is the fly executor, the swatter.

The biggest amusement I have is riding around on Mr. Jones bald head. It makes me laugh to see him waste so much time and energy trying to shoo me off. Of course, I am always too quick for him. Ive been teasing him for three weeks now and he hasnt caught me yet. Mr. Jones is taking a nap so I am able to rest my weary wings without fear of being disturbed. He is beginning to wake up now and it is time for me to scram. Oh-oh! I didnt move fast enough, and now I am laying crushed and broken, a victim of the swatter.

The following are the minutes of the Admirable Artists Club organized in Speech class for the purpose of learning Parliamentary procedure.

The first meeting of the Admirable Artists Club for the year 1941 was held in Room 2 of the high school on Thursday afternoon, March 20 at 1:45 pm. All members were present. Yvonne McKenzie was elected to serve as temporary chairman and Grace Norgard as temporary secretary. The following were named to serve on the committee to draw up a constitution: Mae Johnson, Inez Skinningsrud, Glenn Vangsness, and Lloyd Peterson. The following points to be included in the constitution were decided upon: That we be known as the Admirable Artists; that all juniors and seniors of Hartland High School over ten years of age be eligible for membership, that each member pay a 2 1/2 cents due this semester to be used for visiting the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, that we have a dictator, and that he rule until our club becomes known all over the world. Miss Young moved that the above points be written in the constitution before Friday afternoon, March 21, at 1:45 p.m. when we were to hold our next meeting. The meeting adjourned at 2:50 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Grace Norgard, Secy

A regular meeting of the Admirable Artists Club was held in Room 2 of the high school Friday afternoon, March 21, at 1:45 p.m. All members were present. President McKenzie called the meeting to order and asked the secretary to read the minutes of the previous meeting. The minutes were read and approved. Ralph Kolloen as chosen to serve as temporary sergeant-at-arms (armed with a club of considerable size). He was to take office at once. The motion was carried that we have a committee for refreshments. It was carried that we meet every school day of the week. It was passed that it be necessary for us to have a majority to amend the constitution and just a majority of those present for transacting other business. We decided to fine anyone on the refreshment committee $1 if he failed to perform his duty. It was also carried that we choose a president instead of a dictator. The meeting adjourned.

Respectfully submitted,

Grace Norgard, Secy.

The regular meeting of the Admirable Artists Club was held in room 2 of the high school on Monday afternoon, March 24, at 1:45 p.m. All members were present. The temporary chairman, Yvonne McKenzie, called for a reading of the Articles and By-Laws of the Constitution prepared by the special committee. It was adopted. Then an election was held, the results being: PresidentGlenn Vangsness; Vice-president-Lloyd Peterson; SecretaryMae Johnson; TreasurerMarlowe Erickson. The motion was made and seconded that we have two members on the refreshment committee. The president, Mr. Vangsness appointed Inez Skinningsrud and Yvonne McKenzie to serve. The meeting adjourned

Respectfully submitted,

Mae Johnson, Secy.

The last meeting of the admirable club opened by a report of the standing refreshment committee, who afraid of the $1 fine, handed out suckers to the members. A motion was made that because of the fine quality of the art belonging to Mr. Floyd Stockdill, he be sent to the art exhibition in Philadelphia to represent our club. Everyone agreed, even to the amendment to the motion that Ralph be sent also to look after our eccentric artist and be sure that he got to his destination. However, a hitch occurred in this admirable proposal when after a report of the treasurer, we found that the treasury was quite dry. Several suggestions for raising money were offered; such as, teaching a class of appreciation of art to our less fortunate underclassmen, and charging a rather high fee for the instruction; Holding an exhibition of the art of the members with an admission charge; selling works of art to the school for decorative purposes. However, nothing came of all the discussion so someone moved that the original motion be laid on the table. The motion was moved, seconded, discussed and carried unanimously, that our club receive recognition in the school yearbook. The meeting was adjourned by the chairman who felt the necessity of along drink of water to wash down the stickiness adhering to the inside of his throat, an after effect of the report of the refreshment committee.

Respectfully submitted,

An interested bystander.

WHY TEACHERS TURN GRAY

The Following is a list compiled by Miss Young of articles with which the students have amused themselves during the school year:

October --- tacks November---dice, funny books December---nothing (Santa wouldnt like it) January---raisens, potatoes, carrots February---suckers, beans, oranges, mouse traps, mirrors March-------whistles, apples, firecrackers, wooden arrows April---------notices pinned on students, BALLOONS, toy pistols May---------???????? Always-----erasers, chalk, ink slinging, matches, knives

MAYBE

Mr. Fossum: Which is the most useful, the sun or the moon? Roy: The moon, of course. Mr. P: Why do you say that: Roy: Well, the moon shines at night when we need the light, and the sun shines in the daytime when we dont need it.

Elaine: Did they find you? Alta: Who? Elaine: The squirrels. They thought you were nuts.

Says the hat to the hatrack, You stay here. Im going on a head.

EO SUCKER

Mr. Fossum: Last week while I was fishing at Lake Darling, I felt a jerk on my line, and when I pulled it out---there was a bass three feet long. Mr. Anderson: Thats nothing. I was fishing in the river and pulled out a lantern that was still burning. Mr. P: Do expect me to believe that one? Mr. Alt: You two back off your fish stories and blow my lantern out. 60

CURRENT ETTIQUETE

In the sophomore English class, Miss Young was discussing etiquette. After the lecture she asked Loren how he would ask a girl for a dance. Loren re plied, Come on worm, squirm.

Socks give way at heel and toe, Shirts fray at the cuff, Pants grow shiny in the seat, Shoes go soon enough.

Underwear disintegrates, Coats cant stand the tests, Yet in twenty winters you Cant wear out a vest.

UNNATURAL HISTORY Floyd: Mr. Fossum, did you ever hear a rabbit bark? Mr. F: Rabbits dont bark. Floyd: Then this biology book is wrong. It sassy that rabbits eat cabbage and bark.

MAYBE ITS FUN

Yvonne: Do like Kipling? Dolores: I dunno. How do you kipple?

Miss Young: Selmer, explain what a hypocrite is. Selmer: A hypocrite is a kid who comes to school with a smile on his face.

SURPRISED

The Speech class was having exercises in coordinating gestures with the spoken word. Yvonne, who had been rather preoccupied, was taken aback when Miss Young dictated this one to her: You get out of here, and I dont care if you never come back. Whereupon Yvonne meekly said, Should I go right now?

61

Some men smile in the face of death While others only frown; But the man worthwhile is the man With a smile When his garters coming down.

Miss Young: Why is it, Floyd, that you always chew gum in school? Floyd: For the simple reason that tobacco stains my teeth.

Earl N.: Late hours are not good for one. Inez: But fine for two.

Ralph: Gee, that rouge looks natural. For a while, I thought it was your skin. Hazel: Well, its the next thing to it.

Marlowe: I can see Im just a pebble in your life. Yvonne: (coyly) Well, you might try to be a little boulder.

Gail: Love gives me a pain in the neck. Grace: Maybe youre too athletic about it.

Hazel: What are Kellys intentions? Violet: Im not sure. Hes been keeping me pretty much in the dark.

Lloyd, muttering in his beard while browsing around for a suitable poem to recite for Speech. Broke out with a bit of verse: Some people are poets, but dont know it, And they dont show it, except by their feet--Theyre Longfellows!

62

HEARD FROM THE HERD By Mickie (the mouse) Alta: Did we have FUN last night! Elaine: Oh yes, I know now. Dolores: He died from his passions. Violet: And I LAUGHED! Hazel: I got so much to tell ya.

Richard: That was Selmer! Selmer: I didnt do anything! Loran: Umm, --umm, umm (the last laff). Roy: I dont care. Mabel: Oh for dumb! Mae: I couldnt get a one of those dumb old problems, and I worked for three hours last night! Floyd: Im gonna tell that un to Pa. (In Sunday School Class). Ralph: I aint got nuthin to do. Gail: OH CATPE! Glenn: Psst! Teacher. Lloyd: Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee. Inez: This old thing? I just hate it!!!! Yvonne: Im gonna give e mot Ma after Ive worn out a little more. Marlo: ??????????????????? (expression) Grace: Oh, I swear so much.

Mr. Fossum: What kind of toothpaste do you use? Loren: Non, My teeth aint loose.

Inez: Will I be able to play the piano when my hands get well, doc? Doc: Yes, certainly. Inez: Gosh, thats funny. I couldnt play one before!

Richard: I think that driver is the ahead must be an old teacher of mine. Alta: What makes you think that? Richard: Because she seems mighty stubborn about letting me pass.

Mr. Anderson: What are the uses of wool? Paul: ????????? Mr. Anderson Now listen. What are your clothes made of?

Paul: Pas old uns? 63

COULD YOU IMAGINE?

Alta McKenzie---not conversing with the boys? Elaine Mehus---not studying? Dolores Kinsella---flirting with the boys? Roy Assels---behaving like a gentleman? Hazel Mehus---weighing 300 pounds? Selmer Norgard---minus his pleasing personality: Richard Norgard---6 feet tall? Violet Vedvig---being short and fat? Mabel Vangsness---wearing glasses? Ralph Kolloen---with black hair and studying? Gail Solem---being in school after a dance? Mae Johnson---minus her laugh? Floyd Stockdill---riding a tricycle? Marlowe Erickson---looking ahead ( not turning around) Yvonne Erickson---without a permanent (beau)? Grace Norgard---gettings 40s and 50s in class work? Glen Vangsness---making Miss Young cry (instead of laugh)? Lloyd Peterson---without his long curly eyelashes?

Inez Skinningsrud---being the best class disciplinarian? Miss Young---Staying angry for more than 10 minutes at a time. Mr. Fossum---losing his temper?

THIS REALLY HAPPENED

Mr. Fossum was discussing in hygiene class the fact that tricycles and bicycles were not allowed on the sidewalks in some towns because of the danger to pedestrians. To illustrate he related a tragedy about which he had heard saying, I once read of a little boy who was riding down the sidewalk on his tricycle and stripped his mother. If this was a tragedy, it didnt have the effect of one on his class for they greeted the statement with peels of laughter. When he recovered from his embarrassment and was able to make himself heard over the din, he explained that his tongue slipped and added an s to the front of the word that he actually intended to say.

64

LIFE Babies are born without any hair, Old mens heads are just as bare, twixt the cradle and the grave, Lies but a haircut and a shave.

I sneezed into the air: It fell to earth, I know not where, But hard and cold were the looks of those In whose vicinity it snoze.

Let poets sing their lilting song, And gaily smite their lyre; Give me the man who whistles when Hes putting on a tire.

THEY ALL ADVERTISE

A hen is not supposed to have Much common sense or tact, Yes every time she lays an egg She cackles forth the fact.

The mule, most despised of all, Has a most persistent way Of letting folks know hes around By his insistent bray.

The busy little bees they buzz, Bulls bellow and cows moo, Watchdogs bark, ganders quack, And doves and pigeons coo.

The peacock spreads his tail and squacks, Pigs squeal and robins sing, And even serpents know enough To hiss before they sting.

But man, the greatest masterpiece That Nature could devise, Will often stop and hesitate Before hell advertise. 66
