_In.NIa.y,.trvo.o.ne-act plays rt'ere presented in the auditorium. "The 1'ampered. Darling",.in which Harold Gangneth, Helen Stock, Roy Spilman, and \\riniired Kinne had the leading^parts, was a very interesting .o.t edy of modern times. "Ten N{inutes By the clock", inwhichBarbara Burnap and Ruth Lien took the leading parts,. was a take-off on convention loving people.
Among the bo-ys in the class who are outstanding in athletics lve fincl Orville I)umholt, Robert Boen, and \!'illard Jarvinen in basketball ; Carl Larsen, \\rillarcl Jarvinen,. and orville Dumholt in football; and Junior' Foss and'willard Jarvinen in track.
__- ouls_t?.nding vocalists o{ this class included Robert Boen, Lucille Dunlap, \\ralter Hellekson, Co.rinne Johnson, and Barbara Burnap.
The class wa-" well represenled in the music department by Katherine combaker, George 41_y*"r't, Lou.ise Boyum, Robert Boin, and Jean Bopp.
. Pramatij ability was discovered in syh,ia Kilde, Robeit Boen,'Helen R1.an, and Harolcl Gangneth.
Thus the Freshman class has demonstrated its talent and abilitl. by rvhich it hopes to hold up the traditions of Fergus l-a1ls High School.

NCRIiASED interest rvas shown in declamatory r,vork this year. over 160 students in the senior high school enrolled for training, and participated in the first elimination programs from which a11 except ten rvere eliminated.
A final elimination contest was held on January 30. N{ary Lee, r,vho read ,,The coward" won first place in the dramatic group; Ruth N,,{oe placed first in the humorous division with the selection "Tipping off the Teacher;,, Raymond \'Ieyer placed first in the oratorical group with the reading ,,I Am Innocent of this B1ood." Each of the winners w.as awarded a 1oving cup.
In the sub-district contest held at Fergus Falls, N,Iary Lee placed first in the dramatic section, and Raymond N{eyer, first in the oratorical section. These winners again represented Fergus Falls at the District Contest at Halr,lel. on I"ebruary 25.
Because the contest element in speech work is detrimental, it is very possible that the traditional contest will be replaced next year by the speech festival of extempore speeches, one-act plays, poetry readings, and declamations.
The Junior and Senior high schools have acquired this year a large collectiol of readings which are duplicated and catalogued so as to alTorcl to each student a rvide selection' Each Senior high student was allolr.ed this 1,ear to cl'roose his orvn coach from among the members of the facultr..

The play rras gir.-.,-, under the capable direction of N'liss Helen Frankoviz, coach and \Ir. \laurice Norby, stage and business manager.
The play had all the beautl'and appeal of "smilin'Thru" presented herc several )rears ago.

Her erstr'vhile lover,-Jonathan Nlills, has purchased her house arrd upon his lvife's death adopted Rose Dreardon, Nfignonette's great niece. The pioblem in the plaf is Jonathan's disapproval of Rose's love for Justin Holliday, a penr-riless \-oung artist. But after a visitation from \Iignonette (rvho co-es to lifc i1 her portrait) the old man lr.ipes the bitterness from his heert lnJ all cncls n'ell.

o{ '35 u.ere made up of bo1's r'vho u-ere almost made a good shorn'ing from the beginning against
'fhe season opened u.ith three decisive victories for the Otters, over Barnesvillc, Glenrvood, and Elbow Lake. A loss to the hot Breckenridge Cor.r,bo)-s because of an unusuallv large floor rvas follon,ed b1. t,,vo victories; one o','er the undefeated Detroit Lakes' quint in a most exciiing game, and another over Barnesville. The Otters, after losing a hard, close game to \\,-adena, experienced a shooting slump which rvas broken at Glenrvood by superior plal.in* ,nO floorw'ork. The team, though plal-ing determined basketball, r'r.as defeated b1thc veteran \\,'ahpeton team and b1- the smooth lvorking Fargo unit. After losing games to \l-adena and Pelican by close scores, the Otters, har-ing regained their old form, came through to conquer l'airmount's tall cagcrs. A thrilling game rvith Pelican in u,hich team p1a}. was outstanding rvas lost to our opponents b1' a last minute score. In the last home game, our men took a defeat from North Dakota's best team, \\'ahpeton.
In thc District Tournament at Detroit Lakes, Fergus out-pla1-ed Hitterdahl's squad of lettermen, u,inning b1- a close score. In the semi-fina1s, thc Otters lr,erc eliminated by the Nloorhead team lvhich they held to a lorv score.
The outlook {or follorving }.ears is extremelv bright as on1r. three out of the first eight men r.r,ill be lost and three r'vill be back for two more years.
The lettermen are Butler, Charlson, Gale, Glorvigen. Kroll, Ri1e1., Strand, and Tomhave.

sn it came to pass in the month of September in the 'ear o{ our ,t ./- [, Lord. one thousancl nine hundred thirtr- t."r.o, that certain stuc]ents \/ ' .-ho themse]ves r,r.ere calred Freshmen conformed to the ,,$.earin, o, the greer" and clid likelvise embark on their high schoor career.
And all the mrrltitudc of Freshmen of this time dicl have unto themselr-es remarkablr.- good times at the l'reshmen partr, (at r,vhich numbers of cold shots and cakes r'vere consumed). No,,r. these Freshmen, having conformccl to the "lvearin'o'the green" as has been saicl before, did sprout ih"-r"Ir.", from the acorn into the bab1. oak and proceeded, to the relief of the Freshmen teachers, to make themselr,es unto Sophomores.
Nou'there was great merriment and romance createcr among these sopho_ mores' And in the midst of it arose unto itself a carnir.al at rvhich great sport ['as had by al1' It came to pass that these Sophomores rvere fou.ci to be fillecl u'ith the fruits of ambition. verilr-,r'erily, aspiring to become scribes, they pro_ ceeded to make unto themselr,es an eciition tf ,uh"t is kno*.n as the ,,otter,,, r'vhich, being ,i'ell received by upper classmen, helpecl to ele\.ate the not_too_ scholarly sta.dards of said Sophomores. It so happened, that there being a great amount of clramatic ability in afores:rid class, a sophomore class plal- g.as createcl unto itself for the first time in the a.nals of the rrails of learning.
And so having outgrorvn periods of puppl- ror-e ancl the il,earing of corduro' lt:yr"r:, these disciples of the Sophomore crass did gather trr"-r"i ", u,rt , ,r.,. folds of the junior class--r.r,hither or u,hence br..such facultr.--it shail nevcr be knou n.
It so happened at this periocl of time that an Otter carnival rvas concei.,.ed at r'vhich certai. of our classmates did do themselvcs unto great hor.ror by har-ing to r'r'ash dishes far into the night, *.hat itserf clid seem likc an eternity. _But came then a glorious achievement in the form of "Dacldr. Long Lcgs,,,unparalleled as 1'et in its role of a junior class pray. Be it so srid thel- dii ur.i, themserr.es great justice at the Jurrior-Senior banquet, and manv a light fa.tastic Jur-rior toe was tripped at the prom about r,vhich there r,vas -u.h good ti*".
A.d so it came to pass that a miracre r,r,as performecl--the Juniors at rast emerged themselves unto Se,iors, seemingly someu,hat incongruous on the left side of the assembly; but after a period of time, faculty *"-i.., could at last adjust urrto themselves these once youtr-rful imps,,rorn iur."d into dignifiecl and erudite adults. The Seniors clid then settle unro themselves and performed grcat works making it a class to be remembered. The all_school p1ay, ,,\Iignonette,,, was given much applause by pleased audience, ancl the seniors themselves dicl sholr'' r'vell nigh unto professional abilitv in the senior class p1a1.,,,Big IJearted I{-erbert"' The trophy case foun.l itself grorving in the form of clebate victories. ']'lre Seniors look {orrvard r.vith eager eyes to the prom ancl banquet. The class clid then top o1T their accomplishmcnts bl, editing an Annual of special interest. And so it \vill come to Pass that the Seniors rvill gracluate and rvith a tearful rclicu lur'rr t.\r rr rrl liIc.
