The 1957 Alexandria Cardinal Football squad opened
the season with a successful encounter with the Benson
Braves. The Cardinals, playing on the home gridiron,
came up with a 12 to 0 victory although faced by a fine
opponent.
In the second game of the season and the first Resort
Region Conference game, the Cardinals survived a fine
Moorhead passing attack to gain a 12 to 7 victory over
the Spuds. Alex had to come from behind in the second
half for their first conference victory.
The Willmar Cardinals took advantage of many Alex-
andria mistakes to gain a 14 to 7 victory over the Alex
squad and hand the Cardinals their first defeat of the
season.
The fourth encounter of the season found the Cardinals
putting up a stout defense to defeat the Wadena Indians
by a score of 15 to 0.
The Alexandria squad next traveled to Breckenridge
where they outdistanced the Cowboys 19 to 6 to gain their
second Resort Region Conference victory against no losses.
In the sixth game of the season the Cardinals downed
Glenwood. the age-old rival, by an 18 to 6 score.Summary
In the next gridiron encounter, which was the third
conference game, the Cardinals could do no better than
salvage a 6 to 6 tie with Fergus Falls.
In the annual Homecoming game the Cardinals won
by a score of 20 to 6 over Detroit Lakes, a team which
had not been beaten by an Alex team since 1949. This
game also gave Alexandria an undisputed conference
championship.
In the last game of the season, the Cardinals won easily
from the Wheaton Warriors 32 to 0. This final victory
gave the Cardinals a Resort Region Conference record of
four wins, no losses, and one tie. The overall season rec-
ord saw the Cardinals winning seven, losing one, and
tying one. .
Three Alexandria squad members, Doug Backhaus,
Roger Anderson, and Jack Iverson, were named to the
Resort Region All Conference Team. Doug Backhaus was
named to the Minnesota All State Defensive Team, and
Jack Iverson received the Most Valuable Player award.
Charlie McDonald and Dave Helgeson were elected as

Senior Class Play
The senior class play, under the direction of Mr. Rich-
ard Halverson, chose Shakespeare's 'Taming of the Shrew"
for its swan song production. Patti Hollingsworth and Edena
Goodrich assisted Mr. Halverson with the production.
The story of the shrew opens in the busy Italian city of
Padua,a center of arts. A rich young tourist named Lufcen-
tio arrives with his servant. Katharina, the elder, has such
a violent temper that no one will marry her. Her sister,
Bianca, is so gentle and soft-spoken that she has two ardent
suitors; a young man and an old man. The merchant an-
nounces that he will not allow Bianca to marry until a hus-
band is found for Katharina.
A vigorous young man named Petruchio arrived in town
with only one thought in mind; to marry a rich wife. He
heard about the merchant's daughters, and felt that he was
the one who could tame Katharina, the shrew.
The following cast of players unfolded the very interest-
ing story of 'Taming of the Shrew." Baptista, John Whalen;
Katharina, Carrol Herbert; Bianca, Sharon Lamb; A wealthy
widow, Lynn Stenzel; Petruchio, Bill Unumb; Tranio, Tom

respectively.
The play was held for three nights; March 27,28, and 29
and was very well received by all. The settings were done

Mable Johnson
IN RECOGNITION
It is our rare privilege to give recognition to one who has dis-
tinguished herself throughout the past 40 years as a true friend of the
students and all who are a part of the Alexandria schools and com-
munity. To list the many outstanding qualities which have endeared
Mable Johnson to us all would be too ambitious an undertaking for
one brief statement of dedication, but it must certainly be said that her
devotion to her many responsibilities and her friendly interest in
helping everyone has made for her a special place in the hearts of the
thousands of persons with whom she has been associated throughout the
years.

Juniors
Next year we will begin our last year. It really doesn’t seem possi-
ble that we will be seniors already. The time has gone by so fast, but
the memories of our Junior year will always be close at hand in our
minds.
Our Junior attendant for Homecoming was Gayle Anderson. She
was very lovely.
"Meet Mein St. Louis” was the title of our class play. It was pre-
sented in November, under the direction of Mr. Halverson. It was a
lot of hard work, but proved to be successful.
Planning and sponsoring the Junior-Senior Prom was our major ac-
complishment. Making and putting up the decorations took many hours

70We,the class of 1958, are now gazing toward a long, winding path,
a path called future with its many hopes and opportunities. But first,
we pause to cast a long, backward look, before slowly turning and en-
tering our journey of life and knowledge.
As we glimpse back to our past, our Freshman year stands out for
most of us. The auditorium was over flowing as we did our first class
play. What a thrill it was to be big Freshmen, head of the Junior High!
Our Sophomore year was off with election of class officers and the
Sadie Hawkins dance. It was the night before Sadie Hawkins. Every
Sophomore has visions of Little Abner's dancing in their heads.
Purple Fish without water? Impossible! Not for the Juniors! It was
the Junior-Senior Prom. Our theme was "Neptunes' Court." We had
everything from Neptune's mermaids to a sunken treasure ship. Some-
how that ship adorned with many treasures, symbolized our high school
years, treasures of memories sunken deep in die past.
A lasting tribute, the mighty Senior. This, our last year, started
early widi class pictures and rings. Soon we were busy with the Alexian,
the AlhiTimes, Christmas Concerts, andour class play. We were guests
of the Juniors at the Prom. All too soon came die Senior Banquet, Honor
day, and Baccalaureate.
We walk slowly down the aisle, a mist in our eyes and a diploma in
our hand. The goal has been reached. Good-by, Alex High!
