SENIOR CLASS Dear Seniors, That wonderful day, graduation, has come at last and never again as an Alex High student will you roam those halls, cheer at a game, or leave that homework to a never, never tomorrow. Looking back I see you as freshmen, leaders in the junior high, working hard on your spring party. How proud you were of the Variety, the junior high newspaper you started. And oh so soon you were sophomores. The boys were gallantly evading (at least they were supposed to be) the girls for the Sadie Hawkins Dance. Next came Christmas and you were planning your first big senior high dance. New dresses, snowflakes, and mistletoe for the Winter Wonderland of the Christmas Dance. There should have been a contest to see how many of you could spell S-O-P-H-O-M-O-R-E right at those senior high auditorium periods. The work of the 1951-52 junior class can be summed up by the following activities; Sadie Hawkins, complete with newspaper streamers, dogpatch characters, and "defeated men"; "Old Doc" the junior class play; and the prom. The Old South was transplanted for the Junior-Senior Prom and Spring Party, one of the most memorable events of your high school days. You’ll never forget that corsage, new suit or formal. As the class of '52 marched up I'm sure I saw a tear or two, no one quite knew what next year would be like. Senior activities began early with graduation pictures taken August. You were kept so busy publish- ing the Alex Hi Times, meeting Alexian deadlines, planning the Youth Conference, welcoming the alumni back at Homecoming, and doing school work that the fall just slipped by. You were full fledge seniors complete with rings, pictures, and calling cards. Winter flew by with band and choir concerts, class plays, and fun. Yes, this year you were guests of the juniors at the prom, another one you'll never forget. Too soon came the senior banquet, honor night, baccalaureate, and the last day that did not seem so wonder- ful after all. Commencement. You've done a lot and you’ve done it well, but best of all you've had fun doing it. Sincerely yours, 14 I 1 C An interested observerERLYNNE ALDOUS Ambition: To be a successful and professional ice skater.

JUNIOR CLASS The Junior Class, guided by their advisor, Mr. Morrison, started out their successful year by electing class officers. Bill Tobaben ably led the class as president, Raymon Hill as vice presi- dent, and June Johnson as secretary-treasurer. The Junior Class play, "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court," was presented on Jan- uary 12 and 13. Before our Junior Year, we didn't imagine that we would take part in the days of King Arthur. Among the other projects of the class were the Sadie Hawkins Dance and a float in the Homecoming Parade. Our biggest event of the year was the Junior- Senior Prom and the Spring Party. Everyone there seemed to enjoy themselves and the class had a lot of fun putting on this successful prom and party. The whole class agreed that their Junior Year went too fast, but all hope that their Senior Year will hold as many memories as their Junior Year did. 30ROW 1, Left-Right: L. Alcott, M. Anderson, P.

How often these words have been repeated to us! This was our first year in senior high and now we were permitted to go to the senior high auditorium periods and dances. We have done many things during the past year including the making of a float for the homecoming parade. We sponsored the Christmas Dance which turned out successfully. In the spring we were in charge of the senior banquet. Gary Susag was elected as our president with Bob Flaig and Roger Engstrom assisting as vice president and secretary-treasurer. Miss Haggi, the art teacher, was our advisor. We hope our junior and senior years will hold as many memories as our sophomore year has. 34ROW 1, Left-right: J. Barnack, E. Bolstad, R. Anderson, E.

The freshmen class of '53 with it's 201 members made its first important step by electing our stu- dent council members. With Roger Ogren as presi- dent, Nancy Simonson as vice president, Bernard Rooney as secretary, and Mary Perreton as treas- urer, the junior high student council has had a very rewarding year. The Variety, our junior high paper, had a suc- cessful year under the able leadership of our edi- tor, Robert Stemsrud, and assistant editor, Kay Seimssen. Miss E. Graepp served as our advisor. Next year we'll be in the senior high. We'll be proud, we know, but we hope that the next three years will be as memorable as the past three years have been. 38ROW 1, Left-right: H. Botzet, N.

The Cardinals lost their first game in the district playoffs and it happened again when they lost a 1-0 heartbreaker at Osakis in the Lake Region playoffs. Vernon Duenow was the Cardinals most effective hurler, although Jackie Botzet was not far behind with his ability to turn in a needed victory. This year's team will miss only two seniors when the season rolls around again, those being Jack Botzet and Herbie Olson. The lose of these boys will be felt greatly but with ability and experience behind the remain- ing boys, Tom Connor can look forward to a very interesting season. TRACK This year's track team participated in three track and field meets. They placed in two of them, taking fourth in the conference meet and fifth in the district meet. At the St. John's meet. Merlin Ekman came in fourth in the shot put event for Alexandria's only counter. Don Johnson and Romaine Thornton ran the mile for the Smilinich coached boys; both placing in the District and Conference events. Dewayne Soderholm gathered points by heaving the shot put. .... With Thornton and Ekman around for another season, and a lot of other prospects, Steve Smilinich can look toward a very successful season. 68LEFT TO RIGHT: R. Hill, M. Ekman, L. Grosenick, L.

Melrose broke the winning streak, but the Cards recovered to defeat Long Prairie, Breckenridge, Sauk Center, Osakis. St. Cloud Cathedral and Detroit Lakes proved too difficult and were chalked off as losses. The thriller of the year was the Cards last-half spurt to defeat Melrose 72-61 after losing 7 consecutive games to them. The season finished with victories over Sauk Center, Fergus Falls and Moorhead, and a loss to Granite Falls. The graduating seniors are Merlin Ekman, Leigh Grosenick, Mark Movold, and Bill Martin.

When the season closed for the "B" team this year they found themselves with a very fine record of 11 wins and 4 losses. This team set a "B" team scoring record when it hit the nets to the tune of 41.3 points per game. Ron Anderson was captain of the squad coached by Steve Smilanich. In order to be captain of a group of boys, you must possess both scholastic and leadership ability. The co-captains for this year's basketball team pos- sessed these qualities and many more. It was mainly through the efforts of these two boys that the Alexandria team set such a startling record.Jeanie McKay, Nona Patrick , Betty Patrick, Rae Iverson Congratulations girls on a job well done.
