“HAIL AND FAREWELL”
We, the class of 1940, came to this school in the fall of 1937 meek
and undecided, but equipped with enough determination to orient us to
campus life. There were 127 freshmen in our class. We chose as cur
advisers Miss Meyer and Mr. Kallal whose help and advise were invaluable
in the organization of the class. Throughout our Freshmen and
Junior years we took part in all inter-school activities and learned that
the value of sportsmanship counted more than the glory of victory. Indirectly
we owe much of our success to Miss Meyer who was such an
inspiration to us.
The opening of the fall term of the 1939-40 school year found
112 Seniors back to complete their work. As our advisers of the preceding
year did not return we chose Miss Warne and Mr. Dunham to guide
us. They have capably seen us through our Senior year.
Our year has been very beneficial and enjoyable. We have made
many new friends whom we will always remember. This annual will be
a lasting memory to the very pleasant associations of our Senior year
at the Northwest School.

The Young Women’s and the Young Men’s
Christian Associations were formed twenty-seven
years ago on the Northwest School campus.
Throughout their existence on the campus the two
organizations have always fulfilled their duties
of conducting Bible Classes each Sunday morning
in Robertson Hall for the girls and in Stephens
Hall for the boys. Another responsibility which
this organization has always carried out is the
sponsorship of the weekly Sunday evening services
at which time various pastors from the city
of Crookston have been invited to appear on the
program. At frequent intervals the YW-YM organizations
sponsor student programs at both
morning and evening services.
For the past five years the two organizations
have accepted the responsibility of conducting the
first student get-together program during the
opening week of the fall quarter at which time
all new students are presented to upper-classmen.
Because of the well-planned program at this opening
get-together the school year is given an excellent
start.
The two organizations have been most successful
because of the interest and enthusiasm as well
as leadership shown by the two faculty advisers.

“It Must Be True”
Debate is one of the major activities at the

winter quarter Hill Building is the scene of considerable
argumentation, discussion pro and con.
Is the argument logical ? Is it timely ? Is the source
a reliable one ? Questions and more questions?
Contradictions and more opposition.
The debate question for this year is “Resolved :
That the Federal Government Should Own and
Operate the Railroads.” And what a going over
the railroads get ! Eugene quotes and Wesley disa-
grees; John wades into the argument and Steffie
follows. Julian quotes and the case seems settled.
Leyden seconds Julian’s idea. But “Jake” hasn’t
been heard from yet. And so it goes on!
The debate squad is coached by Mr. E. P.
Wegener. His knowledge of the techniques of debate
and his mastery of argumentation are a great
help to the squad in its preparation for the annual

“Oh, Aggies, Cheer ! Oh, Aggies, Cheer !”
In natty maroon and gold uniforms, and with
lots of pep, the four Northwest School pepsters
have this year raised the vociferous art of cheer
leading and cheering to a new high in achievement.
The introduction of new yells, the adoption
of clever formations, and the calling of
regular practice sessions has produced the best
cheering section in school history. To Elizabeth
Taylor, Camilla Ecklund, Doris Sjostrand, and
Annabelle Jeffrey goes the credit for the display
of pep and enthusiasm at school assemblies and
at athletic events.
A New School Song
Miss Warne
A new pep song, titled “Northwest Aggies Fight” was presented to the school
on Saturday, October 14 by Miss Grace Warne, instructor in English and violin.
At a special assembly program the new song was first presented in a two piano
arrangement by Miss Warne and Miss Marion Frykman. This was followed by a
trumpet arrangement of the song played by Mr. Ben Bakkegaard. As a finale the
two pianos, the trumpet, and a vocal octet combined in the rendition of the song.
Following this introductory ceremony Superintendent McCall accepted the song
for the school and presented Miss Warne with a bouquet. “It is an honor and a
pleasure for me on behalf of the students and faculty of the Northwest School to
formally accept this new song. School songs help build traditions and atmosphere
Miss Warne, you have done much to enrich the spirit of the Northwest School
and I am confident that this stirring song will ever remain among the most popular
of the Northwest School songs.”

ARMISTICE DAY
“In Flanders Fields”
While Europe is again engaged in war
America remembers the first World War
and solemnly observed Armistice Day on
November 11.
The Northwest School observed the day
in traditional manner with an all-school assembly
at which time we honor those who
lost their lives in the first conflict. The
assembly speaker, Attorney Harry Sylvestre
of Crookston, paid tribute to those who
lost their lives and also counseled peace and
better understanding for all mankind. The
American Legion Post of Crookston led
the traditional march to the Soldiers’ Memorial
where Louise Krogstad placed a wreath
on the monument. Eight Northwest School
students lost their lives in the World War
and a total of one hundred sixty students
enlisted.
The Armistice Day observance is one of
the most impressive occasions of the school
year.

ADVANCED DAY
“All Hail the King and Queen”
In an impressive ceremony held as a part
of Advanced Class Day the King and Queen
of the class were crowned in the presence
of the entire school at an all school assembly
celebrating the day of days for the fourth
year students.
Using a coronation ceremony patterned
after that of European nobility the program
opened with the march of all members of
the Advanced Class to the auditorium as a
prelude to the presentation of the King
and Queen.
The sound of trumpets announced the
entrance of the Queen of the Advanced
Class who was Delsie Filipi, Angus.
Trumpets again sounded the entrance of
the King whose identity was likewise unknown
to classmates and to the school until
his appearance for the coronation ceremony.
Wilson Radway, Roosevelt, was elected
ing of the class by his classmates at a meeting
held several weeks in advance of this
class day.
With King and Queen as well as the
lords and ladies of the court dressed in

SENIOR DAY
‘Oh, We’re the Happy Seniors’
Clothes worn by dad and mother were
the style on the Northwest School campus
when the annual Senior Day was observed.
Black derbies, brown derbies, ruffles, lace,
high top shoes, all were very much in evidence
even though allowed to only the members
of the Senior Class. It was Senior Day
and Aggie Day. And the Seniors made merriment
as they presented the 1939 Aggie to
the student body.
Senior classes were a panic as boys visited
the Home Management, Sewing and
Nursing classes while girls in turn attended
Farm Management, Blacksmithing, Carpentry
and Motors.
The assembly program presented interesting
skits typical of campus life. Faculty
and student take-offs brought forth many
howls from the audience.
As a climax to the assembly program
and as the highlight of the day, the first
copy of the 1939 Aggie was produced and
presented to the dedicatee, Supperintendent
T. M. McCall. This was followed by the
general distribution to the student body and
the “sign my Aggie” rush was on.

PARENTS’ DAY
“I Want a Girl, Just Like the
Girl That Married Dear
Old Dad”
From early morning sunrise until noontime
the anxious eyes of Northwest School
students were in the direction of the campus
gates. “IS that our car coming?” “Oh, No !”
“Shucks.” “There’s another.” “Yep, that’s
it.” “Hello, Dad Hello, Mom.”
Yes, it is Parents’ Day. More than eight
hundred fathers and mothers join son or
daughter for this very important day on the
campus.
The program begins with a visitation of
classes and dad and mother get first hand
information on how much son or daughter
has learned and what opportunities there are
for learning. Then, there is the dinner in
the Dining Hall; time out for not only feasting
but for sociability with other dads and
mothers. Next comes an inspection of the
student quarters in the dormitories and then
the traditional Parents’ Day program in the
auditorium.
The finale is the Coffee Hour and the
inspection of the Home Project Show in
the gymnasium.
Parents’ Day is the biggest day in the
entire school year.

HOME PROJECTS
“In the Good Old Summertime”
To improve agricultural and home conditions
in the Red River Valley-that is one of
the aims of summer home project work.
Applying their learning of the winter
months, Northwest School students carry on
various agricultural or home economics projects
on the home farm during the summer
months.
Supervisors visit each student and assist
with the work connected with the project. Reports
are checked and filed and credit is given
for satisfactory completion of the project requirements.
Parents’ Day, held on the first Saturday in
November, is the occasion for the exhibit of
certain projects-and awards are given for
outstanding work.
Project work is an important phase of
Northwest School learning.

Cross country. in its third year as a sport at
the Northwest School, is growing in popularity.
The increase in the squad from year to year is
proof that the student body is becoming interested
in this activity.
The 1939 season produced two cross-country
meets. both with St. Paul. It was a home and
home arrangement, the squad journeying to St.
Paul in November ; the campus meet was run off
late in October. Coach McVeety was able to interest
many students in this activity and prospects
for next year are bright.

Swimming is in its second year as a sport at
the Northwest School. By faculty action this
year this activity was made a major sport.
Several inter-school meets were held prior to
the Second Annual Minnesota Schools of Agriculture
Swimming Meet. When this latter event
was held at the Northwest School on Saturday,
March 2, the championship was awarded to our
team.
Swimming promises to become a most popular
activity. Coach Bennett has made a good record
and the future continues to look very good.
Red Cross Life Saving Classes are also a part
of the school curriculum.

Another activity which is in its second year
and which, by faculty action was changed from a
minor to a major activity is wrestling. This sport
attracted a large number of students this year.
Daily practices were held.
Inter-school matches were scheduled with the
North Central Aggies at Grand Rapids and won
by them and two meets with Fosston High School,
both won by the Northwest School squad.
In the Minnesota Agricultural Schools Conference
Meet the Northwest Aggies finished third.
To Coach Bennett goes the credit for the
showing made by the squad and for the great
interest shown in wrestling.
