Class AdvisersMarie Ruth FastWilliam BarronTo the Seniors of 1945:Pause just a moment in the midst of the ceremony, bustle, and excitementwhich is a fitting climax to the eager, joyous activity of your years atNorthwest School pause to consider these our greetings and congratulations.When we think of you, we shall remember the zest, the determination,and the idealism that is characteristic of youth but peculiarly you. Just asyou have distributed your energies and abilities for the honor of our school,so may your labors and your loyalties be just as sincerely and generouslybestowed in the richer, productive, adult life to which you are passing. Justas you have dedicated your annual to the men and women of NorthwestSchool who serve in behalf of the highest ideals of our country, so may youdedicate yourselves to the noblest ideals that are in you and that this schoolhas only challenged and developed.As a class you are saying to the world, “Before us lies the timber; letus build”. The foundation is there. Have faith in it: your homes and yourschool have made it secure. Now we charge you to “build more statelymansions”. Out of the warmth and sincerity of our regard for you we wishyou Godspeed.Marie Ruth FastWilliam Barron18

Senior Class HistoryOctober 5, 1942, was a great day in the history of Northwest School for on that dayone hundred hopeful students first registered to become freshmen members of the classof '45. This was the seed that was furnished the Northwest School for the sowing seasonof '42 and the harvest of '45. At the first freshman class meeting Miss Marian Frykmanand Mr. William Barron were chosen as class advisers to see them through the vicissitudesof their growing season.Early in their high school career their enthusiastic spirit and determined strugglewon them third place in the annual outdoor festival. Later in the year they gave evidenceof good sportsmanship and athletic ability by placing third in the inter-class field meet.In March of 1943 a number of freshmen assisted the juniors with the banquet by servingas waiters and waitresses at the junior-senior banquet.The summer vacation passed quickly and with high spirits and renewed vigor onehundredfour students returned as juniors. Another season of careful preparation, whichwas not without frolicking, had begun. Having participated the past year in almost allof the annual observances of their school, such as the song contest and Parents' Day andmany others, they were now a part of the Northwest School tradition.Miss Frykman answered a service call to Red Cross work and so Miss Martha JeanTrengove was chosen to take her place as class adviser. Mr. Barron, however, was stillthere and he has stood with them throughout their determined and sometimes strugglingcareer, as staunch, sympathetic and spirited a guide as ever a class could desire.That year the class tied for first place with the seniors in the outdoor festival. Theyear's major project of putting on the junior-senior banquet and prom required the cooperationand enthusiasm of all members. The Dutch theme was ingeniously followed indecorations and program and the gala occasion was acclaimed an all-around success.Another achievement of our junior year was the winning of first place in the field meet.October 1944 came and the prospects for a good crop looked promising with ninetysixstudents returning wtih more gayety, more unconscious earnestness and a greatercapacity for using and appreciating the benefits of their progressing education--they wereseniors!A hard won and therefore all the more appreciated triumph of the senior year wasthe first place in the song contest. The publication of the annual has been the chiefconcern of the class in this the all-important year for it is a project worthy of and demandingpainstaking effort and it, more than anything else, represents all the satisfactions anddelights of our high school days.The harvest is not yet here. Many events such as the class play, field meet, andsenior day, are yet to come which shall hold for us values in the experiences themselvesand which shall be preserved in our memories with ensuing pleasure. Even when theharvest has come and Commencement Day is past, we will not have fulfilled our purposefor it is our destiny to yield again and again. We leave behind us this AGGIE as one ofthe fruits of our labors and as a happy remembrance of what you and we have mutuallycontributed to and derived from our school days.CLASS MOTTOCLASS COLORSCLASSFLOWERBEFORE US LIES THE TIMBER; LET US BUILDRED, WHITE, AND BLUELILY OFTHEVALLEYCLASS OFFICERSPRESIDENTVICE PRESIDENTSECRETARYTREASURERHAROLD YOUNGGRENPATRICIA KURTZANNA MAE ECKLUNDGENEVA IVERSONSERGEANT-AT-ARMS - - - - - RUSSELL EVJEADVISERSMISS FASTMR.

We arenot simply the advanced class: we are also the ADVANCE class, for it isour purpose and determination that we shall advance into the places of trust,of honor and of responsibility that our communities and the demanding worldare leaving for us to fill. The world crisis and the sufferings of many peopleare a challenge to those who have courage, world-wide sympathies, preparationand the God-given strength and freedom to work, and work hard, for thecause of justice and peace. We are leaving now the dear old campus of ourglorious, youthful high school days to pass into an adult world in which ourproblems will be more difficult in the solving and will be of greater consequencein the balances.

Livestock JudgingR. Davids, D. Steinhauer, E. Peterson, K. Miller, R. Schneider, K. Johnson Mr. Kiser.Because careful appraisal of livestock is so vital to successful farming,boys at the Northwest School find Livestock Judging worthy of the time andeffort they put forth. The boys, under the skillful direction of Mr. O. M.Kiser, learn to judge various kinds of livestock for the market and breeding.The livestock judging squad this year consists of Robert Davids, WilliamGeddes, Kenneth Johnson, Kenneth Miller, Edmond Pederson, RobertSchneider, and Donald Steinhauer. From these Mr. Kiser will select threeto represent the Aggies at the annual Winter Shows in Crookston wherethey will compete with other student judges. These three boys will eachreceive a gold “A” medal.52

Crops JudgingC. Davids, G. Ross, P. Shirrick, Mr. Dunham, J. Wiger. A. EgtvetThe crops judging team, consisting of three men and an alternate, wasselected from the group of seven students registered in this activity.Thisteam annually represents the school at the Winter Shows.The period before the contest is spent in meticulous study of weed seedsand plants, small grains, diseases, grasses, legumes and potatoes so they maybe identified and appraised. The team also judges six classes of crops, distinguishesthe good from the bad, and rates them according to relative merit.Crops judging is an extra-curricular pursuit that is fascinating and ofgreat value to those interested in agriculture. The success of this team isin a measure due to the enthusiasm and industry which the able CoachDunham has inspired and encouraged.53

Advanced DayAfter trudging through four long years of unrelenting activity the advancedclass finally came into its glory and reigned supreme on the fourteenthof March, 1944. The Gay Nineties supplied the theme for the traditionallyobserved day. To mark the festive day as their own, the girls wore whiteblouses and dark skirts, and the boys white shirts, dark trousers and bow ties.The main event of the day was the assembly program of clever entertainmentin which all members of the class took part. The class skit continuedthe Gay Nineties theme. The presentation of the class key was made by theadvanced class president, Robert Phillips.As a grand finale to the program class royalty were presented to theaudience with due ceremony. Lowell Bjella, the master of ceremonies,crowned Bill Raymond and Angeline Quantock as class king and queen. Theattendants were Shirley Winkler, Maynard Skeie, Myrtle Smith, RobertPhillips, Marjorie Ofstedahl, and Donald Boutain.The merrymaking continued throughout the evening. A special dinnerhonored the class and several members of the faculty who were guests.Quite appropriately the great day came to a merry and breathless close withgames and dancing in the Aggie Inn, grown familiar and dear with memoriesof four great years.59

The ides of March having passed without any dire consequences andthe following day being a good one for the seniors of '44 to muster a lotof pep and enthusiasm, the great day finally came and came very early inthe morning. While other students were still fast asleep, the wide-awakeseniors began their observance of Senior Day on March 17 with a tractordrawnhay-ride.At 11:40 the honored class sponsored the traditional Senior Dayassembly and attracted favorable attention with all its members uniformlyclothed in a gay costume of dark shirts or trousers, white shirts, red, whiteand blue broad suspenders and jaunty little caps. At this time the Key ofKnowledge was presented to John Lapp, junior class president, by KennethPrice, senior class president. The class will and prophecy were read.The dining hall was patriotically decorated with the class colors. Theday's festivities were brought to a memorable close with a class revelry inthe Aggie Inn.60

Losse.One of the most engaging sports among the many outdoor enthusiasts atNorthwest School is that speedy game of hockey which is in its seventh yearand still growing in popularity. Mr. Barron, this year’s coach, is doing afine job of improving technique and lending zest to their playing.The team got off to a flying start with a large number of players whochose Harold Younggren as their able captain.The Aggie pucksters met the Cathedral team for a scrimmage in whichthe Aggies were defeated by a margin of 8-0. Their second game was playedwith Hallock and they were again defeated by a score of 3-1. More gamesare scheduled whose stories of skill and success are yet to be told.The Aggie lineup is:Roy Greene, Orrin Madson, Calmer Johnson, Harold Younggren (captain),Richard Nisbet, Ray Baumgartner. Other boys out for hockey are:Wayne Cameron, Curtis Simmons, Harold Walters, Everett Fuller, HarleyYounggren, Ray Johnson, Robert Davids, Wilbur Clow, Glen Craigmile, NeilCraigmile, and Donald Grenier.64

D. Anderson.Although this year’s swimming squad was handicapped by the loss ofseveral lettermen, it has made progress with a number of replacements.Under the leadership of Coach Blatchford, they have developed into a teamwith good prospects.The returning lettermen are: Co-captains Allan Nesland and RichardBonner, and Richard Wahlstrom. There are many others who are capableof earning their letters this season.In the meet with Central High, the Aggie squad was defeated 37-15.Two meets with Fargo and two with Morris are scheduled. Those swimmersparticipating in the meets are awarded “A’s” and service bars.PERSONNELRICHARD BONNER DUANE BOLME MARVILLE MAGNUSSONALLAN NESLAND MELVIN CAPISTRAN KEITH VEITOREDWARD ANDERSON WAYNE GRAY MORRIS WEBSTERMAURICE BERGBERNARD YUTRZENKA65

Pederson. D. Olson, E. Jensen.“The Fraternal Order of Grunts and Groans” started its 1944-45 seasonwith only one letterman and no one to coach them. It looked like a harrowingseason for the squad, but with his usual determination and courage, CaptainMenford Brekke took over the job of coaching his thirty-seven recruits.As a coach, Menford has succeeded in the true sense of the word. From alarge amount of eager but “green” material, he has formed a gritty, capablesquad of wrestlers who will be able to put up a stiff, heads-up battle againstany opposition.Although no contests have been held as yet, Captain Brekke hopes thatwe may book a meet in the near future. And with the kind of leadership theAggies have, and the kind of scrappy material we have to work with, wethink the Aggies will be a good bet.66

Schirrick, L. Kasprick.Mr. Clark.Those maroon and gold flashes that occasionally flit across your fieldof vision when you look south on the campus beyond the gym are not theeffects of astigmatism from too much studying but they are the fleet membersof our cross country track squad.The return of four members of the 1943 cross country team made theyear’s prospects look good. With Mr. Robert Clark as the new coach andLloyd Kasprick as the new captain, the team participated in two meets withnew vigor.The first meet took place at Morris and was lost to them. The second,the Conference Meet, was run on the Aggie course. Morris again won firstplace, the Northwest Aggies were second and Grand Rapids last.Members winning letters and bars were: Lloyd Kasprick, Peter Schirrick,Richard Nisbet, Donald Steinhauer, Rueben Hanson, Orvin Stubstad,Curtis Brandt and Adolph Hapka.67

Ninety boys turned out for the sport of which fivewere lettermen: Peterson, Price, Scholin, Mykleby, and Brandt.In our first four games, the team was strengthened immeasurably. bythe addition of Bob Selberg, towering cager formerly of Crookston CentralHigh School. When Bob left for the army, the team slumped momentarily,but was borne up again by Captain Glen Holmquist, who returned toschool in January after a semester’s absence. The team has also benefitedby the reassuring presence of John Johnson. ace ball handler transferredfrom Strandquist.The largest share of the credit for the team’s skill and sportsmanshipmust go to Herschel Lysaker, our new coach and athletic director. Underhis capable piloting, the team has set up an outstanding precedent for thecoming years.68

Homecoming festivitieswere observed in connection with the big game of the year, with Morris.The defeat of Morris won for the Northwest School Aggies Ossie, the victorytrophy, and the Conference Championship for another year.70

FootballCo-Captain Kenneth PriceCo-Captain Grant PetersonOctober 14The Aggies opened their football season with a very brief period of practice, alargely inexperienced team but with a spirited enthusiasm and will to play good footballthat made it a game well worth seeing. Their first opposition was the Crookston Cathedralteam. The score stood in Cathedral’s favor but our boys played a good, hard game.October 20East Grand Forks was host to the Aggies in a night game. Although the game waslost due mainly to poor ball handling, the team otherwise showed an improvement.October 24The Aggies played a great, winning game on the home field. Warren’s otherwisecreditable team perhaps was lacking in experience to overcome the proficiency that ourteam was beginning to acquire with more practice and able coaching.October 27Homecoming! The great day in football! The traditional Crookston Aggies vs.Morris Aggies homecoming game was played on our own field. October outdid herself inmaking this the most golden, bright blue and mellow October day that the festive, cheeringaudience had ever seen. The state conference championship and the familiar, highlyprizedtrophy of “Ossie” was at stake so each team played with a will to win. The teamwith the somewhat superior football technique and the greater will to win were the victorsand our Aggies bore both trophies with sportsmanlike triumph.November 3The last game of the season was also, perhaps, the most difficult one. The Aggiessettled down with determination to play a hard-fighting, fast-moving game againstCrookston Central High. The game was played before a large, patriotic crowd on a snowcoveredfield. The opposition proved superior but the Aggies must be given due recognitionfor doing their share to make it a good game.71

Left to right: A. McKibben, G. Nelson, E. Paulsrud, G. Iverson, C. Bjella, E. QuantockAnd here is the team behind the team behind the ball!Energy, unity and graceful and spirited coordination is not a priorityof the boys on the team at the Aggie games, for the Pepsters have their share.There is not a dull moment at the Aggie games or pepfests for this teamkeeps the enthusiasm of the crowd bubbling only to be let loose in a roarwhen the occasion calls for it.The six members are elected on the basis of sportsmanship and leadership.The Pepsters, under the direction of Miss Georgene Hanson keepingalive the spirit of the school, meet once a week for practice and rejuvenation!72

The PondJames Hill looked out across the pondAnd grieved to see its worthlessness.With the wind hard-pressed against his restlessnessHe turned to one a little way beyondAnd called aloud his bitterness,“I have no use for this desolate space.”Then he shrugged and walked apace,And as if regretting his hastinessHe turned again and stood bemused,For he saw the vision of a former dreamBut half-forgotten in the streamOf years; now no longer confusedHe saw where stood the useless wasteA school of vast import and state.-MargaretE.
