PEARSON 1892-1949 _ 9n oricitn We, the 1949 Senior ANTLER staff, do dedicate this yearbook, to the memory of our own beloved Professor Pearson, hi a largct and more complete sense, however, he was not ours but God's: this made us love him all the more. Had he been ours we would have kept him until, steadily decreasing with age, his physical condition would have prevented his proper execution of the musii he loved But Prof belonged to God. whose wisdom is far beyond anything man can ever fathom, and for that reason Prof was taken home when his musical and spiritual influence were at their height. Yes, God has taken Prof, but we shall always have Christ, “the Friend that sticketh closer than a brother. The faith in God and in His Son Jesus which was the backbone of Prof's life must become the focal point of our lives if they are to count in any way for time or for eternity. When our futures are put into the hands of the One who seeth the beginning from the end, then— and only then— can we expect to be a fraction of the blessing which God gave us through Prof. Whether or not we were in a musical group, it was apparent to all that Profs love for religious music was not something superficial but something that grew out of a heart in which the Lord reigned supreme. ‘The twinkle in his eye was noticeable even from the last row in chapel as he often introduced to us the speaker of the morning. Both parties felt at ease because each knew Prof and all three knew the Lord Jesus. More often, though, when Prof was behind the pulpit it was because the weekly music day had arrived and we were to spend the half-hour in joyous singing. Inevitably the Professor would give the brass ensemble a rest and have everyone sing one stanza of a hymn a capella. Everyone picked out some part to sing as we joined in praise to our God. Often ensembles sang for the first time in public before us on the day Prof had charge. Many nervous trios and quartets were invited to step into my office and after carefully singing for him, they were told that they would be singing in chapel the next day. Profs musical instructions will long be remembered, but the deep spiritual life he gave us will go on into eternity. To those of us who knew him intimately and to those who had only a casual acquaintance with him, the fact that he was interested in the welfare of our souls was always evident. Minnehaha has lost a music director and a spiritual director in Professor Pearson's death, but through his memory we can better pattern our lives after Jesus Christ who died that we might have life and have it more abundantly. —DOUGLAS DAHLQUIST, Editor Page Seven Our President . . . REVEREND CLARENCE A. NELSON To us as students of Minnehaha Academy, Reverend Nelson has meant much in the way of spiritual guidance anti help. His untiring work on the ADVANCE has made our new gymnasium possible. We Seniors shall also long remember his heart-searching chapel messages. Page Eight Youth Meets Truth 3107 Forty-Seventh Avenue South Minneapolis 6, Minnesota OHice of the President SPRING 1949 Members of the Class of '49: In the selection of your motif for the Antler you have also ohosen wisely a motivation for your future life. Years ago a strong, yet poetic, lad of the Judean countryside gave expression to a truth that has since been heard round the world . This fact was stated in the language of his experience, and though the terminology differs from that of our urban moderns with their scientific jargon, yet the reality that it expresses remains unchanged. It might appear at first sight that up-to-date high school graduates of the mechanised twentieth century would be entirely unaware of the heart throb of an Old Testament shepherd boy. 3ut that is not the case. And the reason is not far to seek. Whatever century one's lot is cast in, and whatever cultural and vocational setting life may have, still the basic human traits are similar and the needs perennial. It is the voice of these underlying characteristics that speaks throughout all of history. The Lord is ray shepherd is life's crowning endowment. No one can ever advance beyond that reality, and to come short of it is to shrivel life. By this personal and vital relationship with God the believer finds his soul restored, his courage adequate to the valley of gloom, his cup of joy running over, his days surrounded with goodness and mercy, and at length his eternal abode in the house of the Lord. What more can anyone want? My dear young friends, as you leave the campus of Minnehaha Academy it is a rich assurance to those of us who remain in its halls to know that you are shepherded in the unseen future by the Good Shepherd. We will follow your path throughout the years, with a sincere prayer for the Master's daily blessings. And should some of us reach the house of many mansions before you arrive, we will be thrilled to bid you welcome into the unlimited discoveries awaiting us in God's own school. From that we should never be graduated: there will be no Alumni. As you strike out from your high school days you carry with you the very best wishes of your teachers and schoolmates. We wish for you lives that are significant in every area of endeavor through unswerving commitment to the Lord. We pray that He may be honored through you always. AN ACCREDITED, FOUR-YEAR HIGH SCHOOL, WITH A CHRISTIAN EMPHASIS Our Principal . . . MISS ANNA L. FELLROTH A sincere interest in the students’ scholastic, social, and spiritual progress is the force that motivates our Principal’s labors of love. A never-failing friend. Miss Fcllroth continues to influence for Christ the lives of the many students who pass through Minnehaha’s halls. Page Ten that liheu isc eaven over otic cn teth, more and nine just ed no repent- —Luke 15:7 Ordinarily administration has to do primarily with the planning and over-all operation of our school—the ordinary everyday things that most of us ta!{c for granted and appreciate so little. Courses of study are planned, classes scheduled, money secured, and bills paid; yet there is more. Yes, something far more. Our Lord has expressed it so well and so beautifully in the parable of the lost sheep. Only those who have had the experience of bringing to the “good shepherd the lone, lost sheep can kjtow the joy and rejoicing of which He spokje. We praise God for an administration that is not only exceptionally capable of directing the path of the flockbut that is also alert and able to find the wanderer and direct him to the “Lamb of God ' —J.

Mr. Bcngtson is responsible for a large part in the job of keeping the school running smoothly. Besides teaching several classes, he fulfills his duties as the assistant principal—and docs them well. Working with the Student Council, he has helped to make the lunch hour more enjoyable for all by having games organized in the gym; the lunchroom, too. has taken on a neater appearance under his watchful eye. Our assistant principal is always on the job. and especially so this year—for on February 11 he took unto himself an assistant. Miss Helen Nelson ... so now there’s a “Mrs. B.” The Class of ’49 wishes to thank Mr. Bcngtson for the fine way in which he has helped us along and for his interest in making Minnehaha a better school.

Leonard Carroll, Rev. Arthur Anderson. Rev. (Jordon Meyer, Rev. Clarence Nelson. With the competition of the ADVANCE building program for the fall semester 1949 we are re-opening our Minnehaha Bible Institute. This part of our youth ministry was temporarily suspended a few years ago when the young men of our conference were away serving in the armed forces of our country. Then also, the High School Department grew so rapidly that all of our facilities were strained to meet its needs. Now, however, with the expansion program being realized this summer we arc resuming the Bible Institute courses. High school graduates of g xxl Christian character will Ik accepted for enrollment. The course of study will continue for two years and will stress Bible knowledge, as well as practical guidance for Christian workers. The specific studies offered are indicated in the new Bible Institute bulletin published this spring, as are also entrance requirements and other items of interest. We should Ik happy to have some of our ’forty-niners come back to the old campus for this specialized Bible training. Page Fifteen —CLARENCE A. NELSON Mr. William H.

It is an acknowledgment that God is able to supply all that man requires. “Feed his floc{ a shepherd include the guiding of the flock to pasture and water, the entire control and direction of their daily lives. When either ignorantly, carelessly, or deliberately they would go astray, they arc sought out. When in danger, they are rescued. Not alone the regular care, but special care is provided for those in special need. Gently the shepherd binds their wounds, soothes their aching pains, and restores them to the flock, reassuring them of his love and concern. Tenderly he sets his steps to the pace of those who fall behind. Why all this? Because his sheep are his own purchased possession, usually the sole object of his love and care. He spares not himself to provide for their welfare. Toil, danger, and suffering are his lot, but gladly are they so. You recognize the shepherd as your Saviour, for in all these things He abounds. Do you sec, Seniors, another picture—yourselves the sheep, those who willingly and dependently trust the Good Shepherd as guide? Characteristically sheep arc helpless creatures, wholly dependent upon the wisdom and kindness of the shepherd. Except for an affected independence that is not real, you too are in desperate need of a guide. Without one, you will blunder. Will you have to be rescued after being bruised and wounded by sin, or will you enjoy a whole life spent under the gracious and wise guidance of the Good Shepherd of your lives, Christ Jesus? —Erma Chinandcr FALL Pres., Hob Rickers; Vice Pres., Anna Marie Burgess; Secretary, Kay Johnson; Treasurer, I orcnts Flak; Student Council, Howard Pearson. Don’t be deceived. This group of class officers did more than cut paper dolls and primp. They carried their share of the burden of Homecoming and Sno-day and did a good job of it, too. As seniors they took a real part in the Minnehaha Advance and bolstered all of the school’s activites. J of? 49. . .

Page Twenty-six OUR CLASS HISTORY As ninety individuals came to Minnehaha to register as freshmen in 1945, they became as threads in the hands of the Master Weaver whose loom was Minnehaha. As the activity-filled days passed by, the threads were woven together to become a fabric of rare worth. But wait with us; let us watch as this fabric is woven to see how the threads are used. The process was begun when we were told to elect a president for our great class, and of course it seemed the natural thing to do to choose Gary Zimmerman. Wc were full of energy and pep, and the Minnehaha faculty soon realized that they were going to have a real job trying to keep us 49’ers in line. As freshmen should, wc made life interesting for the upperclassmen by showing off our ignorance, but we had a good time doing it. Wc were the victims of the Mixer, but even if we do say so ourselves, we played the part very well. There was a lot of talk about a class party, but sorry to say, it never got past the talking stage. That wasn’t hard to understand, however, because wc made a party out of everyday school experiences. To many who were as yet a little unfamiliar with making Christianity a part of everyday life, September 19 will never be forgotten. Because many found Christ as Savior that day, their entire outlook on life was changed. Char Tapper was called upon to lead our noble tribe in the spring semester; she probably never will recover. After all, it takes a lot of power to out-shout eighty-nine hearty voices. As we stood back and looked at what had been woven that first year, we saw a small pattern; but it was only a beginning for we knew that it would take three more years for its completion. Wc came back to Minnehaha bringing a little additional wisdom. As fifty new students joined our class, they were eagerly accepted because they provided variety which our Weaver could use for enriching the pattern of our masterpiece. We came to the Mixer this year feeling considerably more at ease and very proud that we had gotten past the stage of being freshmen. When we looked at some of our fellows though, wc wondered if they’d ever get past that stage! When Chet Star, our class president, left us to attend another school, Cleora Rust took over and the remaining class meetings of the fall semester found her presiding. Several from our class were made a part of the Singers this year and found that besides being a lot of work, Singers was fun and a real inspiration. As the Minnehaha Advance got underway, the Singers made a tour of Minnesota and Wisconsin in November. The bus drivers turned out to be good sports; they had to be in order to survive a week with us. Whenever we hear the game “Concentration” mentioned, there’s only one thing we can think of: our time spent on the bus that week. There was, always something to break the monotony of any day, and Steve’s “removable teeth” served that purjx sc more than once. A new tradition was begun when Marge Anderson was crowned Snow Queen of 1947. Snow Day was held between the fall and spring semesters. The main event of the day, a basketball game, was preceded by an afternoon of tobogganing, skiing, and a hockey game. Under the capable leadership of one of our new classmates, Dan Dickhart, our class went forward. Wc had a weiner roast at Minnehaha Falls. As if going back a few years in life, wc played “drop-thc-handkerchief” and other such childhood games. Maylx the most amusing thing was to see Miss Dybvig running hand-in-hand with Lorentz Flak as wc played “last couple out”. As wc gathered around a bonfire and closed our fun by singing choruses, all of us were deeply grateful for the privilege of being able to have a good time together as young Christians. It was with a great deal of pride that wc returned to Minnehaha this time—wc were now upperclassmen! This year was begun in a big way. Before the routine of school life had a chance to get underway, we had our Mixer. Maybe “Mixup” would have been a better name for it, but as usual we had our fun. Page Twenty-trim Our slogan “Outgoal Ossco” proved very effective as we rolled over Ossco 40-0 at our Homecoming game. Two of our junior girls, Bette Swan and Mavis Peterson, had the honor of serving as attendants to the Homecoming Queen. With John Gronvall as our new president we had another class party. This time it was in the form of a sleigh ride. A good time was had by all, especially some of the more privileged ones who were called before the Educational Council because they drove cars out to Eatons. Oh well, it happens in the best of families, even in President Nelson’s. It seemed that it was the consensus of opinion that something just hail to be done to add a little spice to the American history class. To the amazement of many, Gilmore Granat did a very effective job of feigning a faint. But that was just one of the many times that we were the cause of Mrs. Anderson’s headaches. As we look back upon the basketball season of our junior year, we do so with a great deal of pride. Not only were we triumphantly able to take a place second to none by emerging as the champions of the M.P.S.L., but we as a junior class didn’t let the seniors outdo us when it came to producing regular aces in the game. Our own Wayne Holte found himself holding the honor of being termed the most valuable player in the conference, and we were justly proud of him. Minnehaha was indeed fortunate to lx able to have Dr. Peter Person, more commonly referred to as “Uncle Peter”, on our campus for a week. As we all considered the practical side of Christianity, we were challenged to take the Christ of youth with us as we journeyed on the highway of life. It was at the unheard of hour of 5:(X) a.m. on April 5 that the Singers began their tour of Illinois and Iowa. It is needless to say that the highlight of the entire tour was our concert given at Lane Technical High School in Chicago. Chicago also taught us a lesson: it isn’t easy to “see the town” one night and give a concert the next. Could that be the reason for the new rule: all must lx in Ixd by 11:00 o’clock ? As a class we invaded Hidden Falls and let some of our fellows show off their ability to fry hamburgers. Herb Gustafson proved himself a very efficient master-chef. Maybe it did take a while to get the fire going, but we dare say no one went home hungry. We worked long and hard to carry out our ideas: some undoubtedly saw flowers and picket fences in their dreams, but on May 1 we proved that our efforts had not been in vain as we played the part of host to the senior class at the Junior-Senior Banquet. Because our class president, Dan Dickhart, was nervously playing the part of Master-of-Ceremonies, our vice-president, Doug Dahlquist, received the traditional class shoes. Things were now happening at such a rapid pace that wc weren’t able to follow the shuttles prepared by the Master, but we left the care of the loom in His hands, knowing that some day we would be able to see clearly the pattern that was being woven. Before school was begun this year we had a meeting at Bethlehem Covenant Church, and so with a truly spiritual emphasis we came hack to Minnehaha as seniors determined to make life different, and have everything we did bigger and better. True “school spirit” was behind our football team as they came through an undefeated season. As they came back the victors each time, the student body let them know that we were all for them. The athletic standards at M. A. have been raised high and wc challenge all future M. A. students to keep them waving. The climax of the football season came when wc “Dazed Dawson” at our homecoming game. Bette Swan was chosen to reign as our queen, while Mavis Peterson and Char Tapper very ably served as attendants. Our football players never seemed to be satisfied. As if having three banquets given in their honor weren’t enough, they gave one for themselves one noon in the dining hall. Now all wc ask is that they “get over it”. The words of wisdom which “Dad Elliot” spoke to us will always lx remembered. We know that the week which he sjxnt on our campus will bear fruit not only for now, but for eternity. Wc waited—and waited! At last the big day P !nr Tu 'rnty-eight arrived and with it Karen Sue. Mr. Lind berg was one proud papa, and to show him that we were glad with him, his Modern Problem classes had a shower for him. Details are best left undiscussed! The Singers left once more for a weekend tour of Minnesota the first part of November. Several members of the group were thankful for the little things—even tea and bouillon cubes. We won’t soon forget when we were asked to “stop the bus” either. There was one day when we didn't give Mr. Mooney a chance to tell us to “cut the chatter”. Doug Dahlquist told him that we were going to take over the class, and we did just that. At any rate we hope he had a happy birthday! As the call for help in the Minnehaha-Advance rang forth, the student Ixxly met the challenge and went out to go “Over the Top.” With the school divided into two teams, the spirit of competition was so keen that under the very able leadership of John Gronvall, our commander-in-chief, the Student Advance solicited $22,(KX). As Rev. Nelson made the an nouncement that the Board had given the “go-ahead” signal, the students broke forth in cheers—a true evidence of the desire which had been burned deep within the heart of each of the students—a desire to see Minnehaha truly Advance. No, we don’t know why the Master moves as He does, but yet we know that God always has a purpose. Such was the case when God chose to call our beloved “Prof” Pearson to be at home with Him on January 13, 1949. This had a tremendous effect upon the entire student body because of the imprint which “Prof's” life had made on all of our lives. The moments during the funeral and also the memorial service here at school were truly made sacred to us because we felt the G xl “Prof” loved so very near. Suspense reigned quite supremely on Snow Day in this our last year. Breathless were the moments as Howard Pearson, the chairman of the Student Council, crowned Dan Dickhart king, and he in turn crowned Margie Hill as our queen. Snow Day was a big day with a hockey game, two basketball games, a supper, and a program of “Plantation Melodies.” Soon we were looking forward to some of the biggest days in our lives—days such as Senior skip day, class night, baccalaureate, and finally graduation. Now our days at M. A. are over. Often we weren’t able to see why things went as they did when we could see no purpose in the way which the threads for our piece of weaving were handled; but now that we have been able to turn the fabric, we see that each seam and each dark place did have a purpose in the design of the Master. We are truly thankful that we let Him have His way because, as always, “He knew best”. THE LOOM OF LIFE Children of yesterday, heirs of tomorrow, What are you weaving? Labor and sorrow? Look to your looms again; faster and faster Fly the great shuttles prepared by the Master. Life’s in the loom. Room for it! Room! Children of yesterday, heirs of tomorrow. IJghten the labor and sweeten the sorrow; Now while the shuttles fly faster and faster, Up and be at itI At work with the Master. He stands at your loom. Room for Him! Room! Children of yesterday, heirs of tomorrow. Look at your fabric of labor and sorrow, Seamy and dark with despair and disaster, Turn it, and lo! the design of the Master. The Lords' at the loom. Room for Him! Room! —A nth or U nk.no wn Vitjir Tnrrity• nine OUR CLASS It’s the year 1976, and the famous Broberg-Barvillc Faircus is just now opening its summer season in the metropolitan city of Castor-villc. Crowds are expected to reach an all time peak because of its highly publicized and featured performers. As you enter the outer gate guarded by Merle Grudem dressed in a flashy red uniform with the same big Ixxjts he wore back in ‘48, you are immediately confronted by Roland Opsahl, who is vainly trying to sell his latest invention, an automatic alibi. Before you get too far, you see a balloon festooned pop-corn stand with Bev lohnson officiating. However she is constantly bothered by Noble Han son, who turned extremely mischievous in the past ten years and keeps trying to break her balloons. Once you get by them and Flag's Flashy Candy Shop, you can enter the midway. Of course the biggest thing there is Weilcrs Wheels, a modern takeoff on the outdated Ferris Wheel. The merry-go-round has not been outdated though, and Loren Ahlstrand has a thriving business. Also scattered about is Malone's Moon Rocket, Lundbergs Loop-dc-Loop, anti Westerdahl’s Whip, to say nothing of the other contraptions guaranteed to produce goose pimples. Sideshows, however, arc always more interesting and this faircus is no exception. There's a big string of them, and you can just go on down the line. Next, ironically enough, is .Inna Marie Burgess—fat woman at 755 pounds. Who would have guessed it? Very interesting is the next exhibit featuring Madame Ling-rand, the lady who turned to stone. Too bad; she was so active! But the next is really unusual—it's Alice Gjesdahl who handles snakes without a qualm. She really ought to go in partnership with Gilmore Granat, who has just returned from Ceylon with a collection of unusual flies and hugs. Same old Gilmore! Rhoda .Armstrong really look her name to heart—she’s a weight-lifter and docs well at that. Ronny Hinn worked in a drug store until he got a lew pills mixed, took the wrong ones, and now is the feature man for the midgets. Ron is two feet six inches and is larger only than Bob Hart c at two feet even. Don’t ask me how he did it. Louise Ijirson mothers the group. This about brings you to the big tent, so here goes. You no more than get in under the flap and get a scat when Evelyn Payne comes around trying to sell chameleons. That starts a parade of salesmen, and soon you’ve bought a striped balloon from Fdaine PROPHECY llonn, pickled grasshoppers from Betty Dillon (who still lives in her dream of biology), a silver baton from Lowell lohnson, have eaten salted peanuts sold by Vivian Living, and ha c drunk four cokes sold by the lx Vahn cousins. By this time the show is ready to start and. as Fred Carlson lifts his baton tq direct the band, Marilyn Tunnel comes forward to lead the audience in singing the “Star Spangled Banner . Directly afterward the parade begins, Dwight Thorshov. the drum major, leads the procession. Since the theme of the parade is Candy Land”, he is followed by Marty Lou Anderson, Doris Adams, Muriel Nelson, Barb Turn-bull, and a host of others dressed as peppermint sticks. They, in turn, arc followed hy Juliana Undell, Esther Jorgenson, and Donna Mae Furseth, who make the cutest lollipops. On a float behind them arc Mavis Peterson and Char Tapper, who represent kisses, and for some reason or other. Wayne llolte, Jim Dahlberg, Ed HaUsten, and Don Holm are chasing madly behind. Doug Dahlquist comes next, supposedly looking like a huge chocolate drop. Julian Olson and Iui Vern Edson represent divinity and arc walking close behind with Dave Dahlstrom and Bob Staurseth, who arc peanut brittle. Last of all comes the queen of the candies, the fudge, nobly represented by Ruby lohnson, Dorothy Hill, Marilyn Sandberg. and Carol Ann Swanson. Now the show starts. First of all comes the lion training exhibition, Don Dillon being the trainer. Don gives the audience quite a thrill until his most famous cat. !m Verne Drange, threatens to claw him. This causes such an uproar that the crowd isn’t silenced until Rich Johnston comes out with his broom and separates them. Next comes a three-ring circus. Day’s Dog occupies one ring; Russ Brandt is featured in the middle ring, boxing with a kangaroo; and Kay lohnson and Lorna lui Pointe do a bicycle riding leal in the third ring. When they have Anally trouped off, Vernon Larson and Elizabeth Carlson draw attention to their duo act on the high wires. Margie Hill finally made good, practical use of her long thick hair and now earns quite a bit of money by hanging by her hair nightly to thrill spectators. Dashing Mary Ijou Haugen and Diane Killian have paired up with Gordon Evans and Walter Martin to Page Thirty present a spectacular trapeze act. To case the strain on the necks of the crowd, the spotlight is lowered to the middle ring where Cleome and Clcora Rust are doing a bareback riding act; John Lindholm owns the horses, by the way. The only other horses in the show arc Rydell's ring trained ponies. Clowning with his act is a monkey called Craig Nelson. Another three ring circus comes next. In the first ring, Janice Anderson amazes the audience by her ability to balance a ball on her nose; in the middle ring, Jim Hanson juggles milk bottles; and in the third, Hetty Hempel does acrobatic stunts. During the entire performance Phillip Johnson gives the audience a thrill by cavorting around in his ancient ’49 Cadillac. DicJ{hart's clown troupe, including Duane Amt-son. John Fenderson. and l arry Undstrom, also give the crowd a few tummy ticklers. The spotlight heads toward the ceiling again to follow Margie S (og to the ground as she is slowly let down on a rope while hanging on by her teeth. Also very startling is Roger luirson who performs atop a fifty foot bending steel | ole. Ruth Graven proves herself very agile as she rides a bicycle across a wire 150 feet above the ground. Helen HawJ(inson sits on the handle bars the second time across. To make it really interesting, Bonnie Tapelt sits on Ruth's shoulders, or Field is standing by as emergency man in ease of a fall. The show is interrupted at this point by Barb Safely, who comes shouting out to say that ini Bragg. hoopist, won the election—what election? Things come to order again as Ruthe Uchtenburger and F.loise Westerdahl “traipse out to do a tap dance routine. They don’t hold the attention of the entire crowd though for in one ring Alice Uen and Verlaine Larson arc combining their efforts in magic to make Bill Johnstone disappear; in the other ring Herb Gustafson is trying to rid himself of his sister. Carol Ann. The Marilyn Andersons decided to call it quits and arc now convincing people that they arc the same person by means of a little sleight of hand. Up near the ceiling once more you see Arles Road-Jeldt riding a big balloon with Howard Fcarson and Keith Davis, fire and police clowns, frantically trying to puncture it by clumsily shooting arrows. The screaming audience nearly collapses when the balloon breaks and reveals that Arles is suspended from the ceiling by a rof)c. The performance ends when Oliver Vick. shoots Damans Olson out of a cannon. Back outside again you can visit a motorcycle daredevil act put on by Barb Olander and Audrey Nelson, and Bob Richer s tent houses a collection of |x r-cupincs that interests quite a few. There arc quite a few booths scattered around, too. Carol Bachman is putting her brains to use by guessing people’s weights. )ohn Gronvall’s was so illusive that he won three kcwpic dolls, and a flashy cane. Most people get a big bang out of a booth run by Ardelle Nordeen, where Lowell Nordling sits on a precariously balanced shelf. One hit with a tennis ball thrown by a spectator will knock him into a tank of water. Ardis StadsJ(lev is doing her best to hit the bull’s eye. Joe Cleary and Eunice Johnson have formed a partnership, and their nut house is thriving. The exhibit halls are always a boon to sightseers. Most of the fellows like to tour the livestock barns. Dainty Phyllis Elmquist forgot her nature and evidently took to raising pigs, as the prize porker belongs to her. Chickens were the choice of Chuck Dahlgren. though his fowls brought only a few prizes. Jim Peterson decided to live the cheap way, and he’s raising rabbits. So much for the barn. Anyone would, however, be interested in the hall of famous exhibits and people. Most prominent display of the year is the scalp of Clijj Smith who didn’t get a sports story in on time. A plaque is mounted in one corner in the honor of luturel Norman, who was the first woman to run for President, but she picked the wrong party. Mary Stevens was nominated for the Vice Presidential chair. Clarice Warme holds the honor of being the only woman to win a hot rod race. A picture of her with her grease monkey, Joann Thorecn. hangs on the south wall. I lonor also goes to Lorraine Johnson, who proves her interest and intelligence in sports by coaching the 1962 Minnesota football team to a Hose Bowl victory. Ardis Anderson won s|xxial recognition, too, for her service as mayor of Minneapolis. Kxperts have compared her administration with that of Humphrey’s. It seems there is a cat and dog show featured at the faircus this year. Shirley Wilson is general manager. Top honors go to the cats raised by Donald Opsahl. Dorothy Undblom has suddenly turned romantic and now runs the Ye Old Mill or Tunnel of Ia vc. Grace Swanson runs around as an On-thc-strcct interviewer for WCCO. Soft-voiced Naomi Fredrickson occupies a booth in the center of things and is demonstrating how to dress a chicken. Next is a Iwoth housing Jocelyn Carlson, who is selling kisses. The candy is made by Clarice Bernston and Rhoda Strand. The army-navy show is certainly well attended; Colonel Mary Lee Johnson and Rear Admiral Betty lohnson arc in charge. Marilyn Hanson didn’t get to be anything higher than a buck private; she’s taking tickets. Climaxing it all is Marjory Winter, who stands at the “out gate issuing aspirin. Page Thirty-one Our Sno’ King and Queen, Dan DicJ(-hart and Marjorie Hill, were very appropriately chosen by their classmates as the best looking boy and girl in the class of ’49. Where there’s LaVeme Drange, there’s Don Dillon—the cutest couple of our Senior class. ’Nutf said. There are two in every class, and Bev Johnson and Sam Bragg fit well the title of the “funniest.” Their senses of humor have pulled us out of many a tight spot; we couldn’t do without them. Credit is really due Doug Dahlquist and Margie S og who are outstanding in scholastic ability. Not only do they pull down numerous As, but they are also very active in many of our school activities. Most likely to succeed are Craig Nelson, Jody LeVahn, and Anna Marie Burgess. A way of persistently prodding forward has marked them as sure material for successful individuals. It is a well known fact that the Class of '49 has an abundance of talent, but the most outstanding abilities arc found in our favorite piano player, Mavis Peterson, and in the voice and acting ability of our very own “temperamental tenor,” Home Pearson. Everyone knows Betty Hem pel and Ed Hallsten, Chosen by their classmates as the outstanding spiritual leaders, they are known for their sincere Christian testimonies and that shining light that comes from only those who have given their all to Christ. Pep! Drive! ! Enthusiasm! ! ! These words clearly describe Carol Ann Gustafson and John Giron vail. To their unusual ability as leaders goes the credit for the success of nearly all of our school drives and programs. The most athletic? There's no question hut that it’s Wayne Holte and Ionise Larson that fill this score. When you'd think that they had run out of energy long ago, they still have pep to give more. Bill Johnstone, Kay Johnson, and Betty Dillon slant! for “personality-plus.” Three all-around students, they're a real honor to our class. HEAR YE!! HEAR YE!! The scene is tense, future tense, —for The time is 1976, —and The place is the Grand Auditorium at Minnehaha Academy. The auditorium is getting crowded, and an air of expectancy hangs heavily over the gathering. So does a monstrous chandelier covered with 293 lights that was donated to the school by millionaire Howard Pearson. Many prominent people have entered, including President Vernon Larson, president of the Purple Suspender Club, that is, and The Herbert Gustafson ami The “Big Red Hinn who graduated “Skipitorian ami “Magna Cum Heaviness” way back in 1949. But that is neither here nor there for the audience has now hushed and all is still. The spotlight from the ceiling focuses on a small, noble figure, draped in black, standing on the platform. In his arms he bears a large, gold box which he carefully places on the table before him. He bows, and a mighty cheer arises from the crowd. Then, stepping forward, he says, “Cut the chatter, kids, we have a lot to cover tonight!” And we know the man to be none other than our beloved Mr. Mooney. The occasion? Why the grand opening of the golden box, submerged in the mighty Mississippi twenty-seven years ago by the class of ’49 to be opened in the year of 1976. Lifting the golden lid, Richard Clay Mooney clears his throat, yawns, and reads from the scroll he has discovered within the chest. “We, the class of one thousand nine hundred and forty-nine, king of sound body and partly sound mind, do hereby will our most precious articles to those lucky ones who follow us: I, Dorothy Darlene I lill, do leave my cute laugh to George Bauman.

THE NEW GYM Deep in the nature of every person is the desire to belong somewhere, to something or someone. Unless he finds this, he is “lost” in more ways than one. Will he seek it in the passing parade of life in the world? Affinity to this world of sight is contingent upon such temporary values as health, money, position, and power. Even friends arc tempted to forget when these values glide out of our grasp. If home is where the heart is, we must find a bigger house than the world. Writes the Psalmist: “Thou hast set eternity in the heart.” God has made us of such stature that we are not ultimately content until we arc at home in the world of spiritual realities. Isn't that what St. Augustine meant when he prayed “Thou hast made us for thyself and our hearts are restless until they find rest in thee.” Small as the average man may be in the eyes of the world, God always greets him with dignity and personal attention. His heart bleeds for the homeless, way-faring, sin-blinded man. No human can stoop too low to be unsought by His mercy. This unquenchable love of God makes sin all the more tragic. Christ, the Good Shepherd, lets us know that for those who put faith in Him there will always be in the heavens a friendly eye which “know mine own.” The Shepherd of the Sky, fesus Christ, knows my way, forgives my sins, and sees my future! —Rev.

The Community Chest Drive, World Relief Drive, and a very successful Homecoming followed in rapid succession. Then, after Christmas, the Council sponsored Sno' Day which will long be remembered, and the not-to-be-forgotten ADVANCE Drive in which our students cooperated excellently in raising $23,000 for the new gym. After a very busy and equal- ly successful semester, this group of class representatives was succeeded by the spring group. John Gronvall, who was voted the chairman for the spring semester, skillfully guided the Student Council in the Red Cross Drive, Field Day, and all of the other spring activities. Congratulations, Student Council members! All in all, this year has been a good one and your efforts are much appreciated. Page Thirty-seven CLASS OF '50 . . . George Busse ...

They carried their weight in the Homecoming events, too, so hats off to these officers. You’d have a headache, loo, if you had the J.S. to plan and think about. However, they came through with flying colors. All the Seniors were satisfied and the Junior class was broke but relieved. They didn’t fall down on the rest of their activ itics either, but did their best to keep excrvthing going on an even keel. Page Thiriy eisht UPPER PICTURE Top Row. B. Nelson, L. Nelson, N.

These kids arc starting out the right way—but then don’t all the Freshmen? When everybody was new and strange these students were elected to sort of hold things together anti get people acquainted. They did a good job too and a picnic was planned in short order. The Freshman class made a swell beginning and looks to be off to a good start. hme Forty-two UPPER PICTURE Top Rou : B. Nelson, D.

Daily the entire student body meets to worship God in our chapel period. There we have the privilege of either taking part ourselves or listening to some servant of God. Many great challenges have come to all of during this time. There are, however, many at M.A. who aren’t content with just attending chapel, hut decided that our Christianity can best be ex- pressed by serving. With this in mind, the Christian Service Group meets bi-weekly as a group and faces various vital issues in Christian Service. The Club is subdivided into four groups which held services at various places. Thus, Academy students worship anti serve their God. Page Forty-four SPORTS We are living in a day when little thought is given to Christ’s coming and much less thought to obtaining heavenly crowns and rewards for our efforts here on earth. We are inclined to agree with Dr. Vance Havncr who said that people today arc living for “things. thrills, and theoriesand cannot say with the Apostle Paul For to me to live is Christ ” Truly we have a gracious and loving Saviour who is concerned with our infirmities and failures and is desirous that we grow in our spiritual lives. It matters not into what we have entered, for He is able to strengthen and sustain. Oh that we might realize the importance of letting Christ, the good Shepherd, direct each phase and part of our earthly lives! Athletics play a very important part in the school life of most boys; this typifies our lives here on earth. In athletics a player must put forth his best in order to obtain recognition and come out the winner. The Apostle Paul speaks of a contest into which each Christian is entered—the race that is set before us. The Word refers to six crowns and many rewards which may be obtained in this race. Might each one of us lay aside the weights and sin that beset us and run with patience the race that is set before us, looking not to self, to others, nor to the world, but unto Jesus, our chief Shepherd, the author and finisher of our faith. —Charles Sulack FOOTBALL Top row: Mr. Charles Sulack.

To be crowned champions of the Minnesota Private School League was the goal of the 1948 football team. This dream was eventually realized along with a host of other honors as a great group of fellows turn in an undefeated-season’s record. Those practices in that August sun finally paid off, as the team romped to the record of seven wins and one tie. The team of ‘48 left little to be desired. There was weight aplenty, height, speed, ruggedness and, above all, experience. Of course there were also qualities of determination, team spirit, and never-ending courage. Buffalo, unbeaten champions in two years' play, was given a real welcome in the inauguration of their new field on September 10, as the Indians forced out a win to the tune of 7-0. Bud Busse ran thirty-seven yards to set up the touchdown and then plunged over from the three-yard line. Wayne Holte added the extra point to give the game to the Indians. Next on the parade were the three confer- Pagc Forty-five encc games. Shattuck went down very unwillingly 6-0 with Wayne Holte scoring. Pillsbury was snowed under by the big city team 32-0. I bis game was the entertainer of the year, and the crowd enjoyed it immensely as the linemen stole the show as they scored three times against the backfield's two. Red Hinn, John Hallsten, and Jack Albinson scored on mis-plays of the enemy. Don Dillon and Dave Anderson scored their firsts of the year. Brcck then felt the sting as they fell before the onrushing avalanche 26-12. Dave Anderson proved himself to be a star as he scored all four touchdowns. Minnehaha was scored on twice in this game, and during the entire sea- r; v 'r son the goal line was crossed only once more. St. Paul Academy was beaten for the second straight year, this year’s score being 12-0. A tie with Columbia Heights marred the season’s record in the next hard-fought game. Next, Ossco decided to change to ping-pong after getting crushed 31-0 following last year’s 40-0 shut-out. Dave Anderson made the longest touchdown of the year with an eighty-yard run for his sixth marker of the season. In the grand finale of the season, Minnehaha beat another champion—Dawson. It was our homecoming game. The score was 14-7. Dick Wicks scored once and (yup—you guessed it) Dave Anderson scored also. This win wound up the season for Minnehaha. Our team won 7, lost 0, tied 1, scored 128 points against 19, anil were champs of the Minnesota Private School League. Next year’s team should be as good as this year’s with many lettermen back, and new men coming in. The All-Conference team included Ron Hinn, John Gronvall, Herb Gustafson, Dave Anderson, anil Wayne Holte. This total of five out of twelve (a back field tie) shows the strength of the Reilmcn of 1948. This team will be remembered for a long time as will also the 1948 season.

Handicapjxd by limited experience, lack of height and, in general, a club beaten before they started, the 1948-49 basketball edition surprised everyone by playing good ball and winning eleven out of nineteen games. The Minnesota Private School Leage championship honors were again shared with Shattuck. The final record for the league was seven wins and one loss. Concordia bowed in the league opener to the Indians, 52-39. Then Breck went down to the tune of 25-23. In the last game of the first round, Shattuck was nosed out 38-37 to make a perfect record of four wins for the Redmen. Again Breck lost to the rampaging Indians, and Concordia likewise bowed. In the next game, Minnehaha set all kinds of records as we downed Pillsbury 96-39. Wayne Holtc also set a record when he scored forty-one pointsI Then Shattuck handed the Indians their lone defeat which made a tie for the title between the two schools. This tie was broken in the tournament as Shattuck stopped Minnehaha in the finals. The tournament was held March 4 and 5 at Northwestern Bible School’s new gymnasium. In the non-conference games, perhaps the best was the double-overtime game with Dawson High School. The Indians finally succumbed 35-33, but not before giving Dawson (an undefeated team all season) a tough scrap. I bis rivalry with Dawson is one of the best we have seen in a long time, with the sports-manship on Ixjth sides an outstanding factor. Minnehaha won in a high scoring encounter with South west High School, after losing to the Southsiders in an earlier contest. All in all, it was a grand season with G ach Charles Su-lack anti Assistant Guil Parsons deserving much praise. Likewise Wayne Holte is to be congratulated for being named “Most Valuable in the conference for the second straight year and also for his scoring feats. Minnehaha will probably never see another athlete quite Page forty-nine T our name nt l {e Wayne, tvho scored a total of 1(7 points —an average of 193—in nineteen games and in the league 172 points—an average oj 213—in eight games. These were only two of the many records Wayne set throughout the season. Anti so closes another successful year in basketball for Minnehaha.

Gaining valuable experience for next year, the junior varsity of 194X-49 rolled up a gotxl season record of ten wins in fifteen games. They played each of the teams in the conference twice and came out on top in most of the battles. These games gave a preview of next year’s conference title race, for of course this younger generation are tomorrow's competitors. It appears now that the coming varsity will be comj osed of mainly underclassmen who have been making a good showing recently on the junior varsity. INTRAMURALS Intramurals presented a splendid program this year with six teams open to those who were not engaged in other activities. A regular schedule of ten games was instituted. The winner of this was the Sparkplugs coached by Richard Johnston. In the tournament, the All-Shots, led by Jim Dahlberg nosed out the Whiz Kills, coached by Cliff Smith, by the score of 39-36 in an overtime. The entire season was a brilliant success and much praise is to be given Mr. Lindberg, Mr. Sulack, Mr. Parsons, the teams, and their captains. Next year’s schedule should be even better.

Showing marked improvement from game to game, the hockey team went through its second year of organized hockey with an eye turned toward next year. The final record showed three wins, nine losses, and one tic. The schedule this year proved to be a little more than the Indians could handle. Next year, however, the team should show tremendous improvement as only four are lost through graduation. St. Louis Park, a state tournament team, was tied by the pucksters in a good game, 1-1. Vocational was downed 7-5. In the conference, Minnehaha lost twice to both Shattuck and Breck, although both opponents were held to close scores. Concordia lost to the Indians twice. After being invited to the first Invitational Private School Tockey Tournament, the Indians had the misfortune to draw Cretin in the opening round. Minnehaha lost 8-0. and Cretin went on to win the tournament.

Our baseball outlook was very good this year with last year’s battery returning along with regulars at some positions and promising newcomers at others. Because of the bad weather this spring. Coach Parsons held practice in the gym for over a week. Several practice games were lined up to determine who could Ik- relied upon when conference games started. With John Hallsten and Dale Shcllman as assistants, Wayne Holte, our ace pitcher, received valuable rest between games. The team got off to a fine start in winning their first five conference games. By winning two of the remaining three games, our team is assured of the championship which will give us titles in all three major s)x rts.

Orville Olsen, captain of Augsburg’s championship team, coached the In- dians through an enjoyable season. A round robin schedule was played with each of the five conference schools competing except Pills-bury. ACTIVITIES Surely He “daily loadeth us with His benefits!” As the sheep oj His pastures, we drinks from the waters of God's goodness day after day. Great as arc the unmerited riches affecting our material lives, greater yet are the treasurers which may be ours to lay up in Heaven. Peace of heart is a value immeasurable, coming only when the need for the Saviour has been realized and the forgiveness of sin has been experienced. Our hearts rest only if they rest in the Lord. Then there arc crosses for which we also thanks God. Pity the one who has none. The precious Word and the prayer privilege are ours because of the Lord fesus who is both the greatest Gift and the greatest Giver. He is the life of Life! If our hearts are conformed to His will, the Shepherd can lead us through the activities of the everyday. He has a plan for every life and a life for every plan,” but not until the Holy Spirit does a wor in us can He do a wor through us. For all this, we will show forth thy praise to all generations.” —Evangeline Peterson OUR SINGERS . . . Top Row: L Nor tiling, R. (.arson, V. lohnstonc. C. Nelson, K, H.ilUtcn, I). Thorshov, I).

With shaking knees anti excited hearts, the Minnehaha Singers began their concert year by singing for a chapel service at Northwestern Bible School. This was the only concert given by the Singers before their fall tour, when once again two Greyhound buses whizzed the group to their northern destinations. The first concert was given on Friday night at Brainerd; the concert of the next evening was given at Little Falls. Two concerts were given on Sunday, one in the afternoon at St. Cloud and the other in the evening at Foley. The entire tour was a source in inspiration and blessing for all members of the group. I’he Christmas season was a jubilant one when the Singers and several ensembles sang the praises of Christ’s birth. To Prof. Pearson, however, the highlight of the year was the opportunity for the Singers to present the “Messiah” at a program promoting the ADVANCE. Shortly after this concert, and before we were aware of conditions, our “Prof” laid down his baton and left us to meet his Lord and Master in His Heavenly Home. Though he is no longer with us, he left a song in our hearts that will never lx forgotten. But because the Lord never fails to provide for us. He made it possible for Mr. Harry Opel to take over for “Prof.” Mr. Ojxl has proved to he a very capable director, and under his leadership the Singers have presented several fine concerts. A completely new repertoire of music was presented at the two spring concerts sponsored by the Covenant Wowen’s Auxiliary. The Minneaj olis concert featured Rosa Page Welch, a soprano from Chicago, while the St. Paul concert featured the Singers’ ow'n pianist— Mavis Peterson, and their violinist—Phyllis Johnstone. Again this year the Singers had the privilege of being invited to give the program at the Traffic Club banquet for the Minneapolis-St. Louis Railway. Many other concerts were also given, including those at the baccalaureate and graduation services. The Singers of 1949 have been a real blessing and have in turn received blessings, for which all thanks and praise are given to Him whose praises they sing. Pane Fifty-seven TRUMPET TRIO: R.

After tired campaign managers hail consumed sixteen bottles of aspirin, the great day arrived. Down the aisle and past the honor guard of football players came Char Tapper and Mavis Peterson, attendants, and Bette Swan—our queen. Everyone yelled “Fight team! Fight! —and we won—beating Dawson 14-7 in a real game of football. After all had filled up on chow mein and ice cream, everyone gathered in the gym for the program. Dave Nasbv, our dream boy, caused a lot of excitement with his hilarious and hair raising nightmares. Bang! Bang!! . . . Doughnuts flying through the air . . . The K. Ms’ mustaches and garters . . . Dave's falling out of bed . . . The Misery Waltz . . . Jack in gunny sack . . . Miss Fclroth saves Dave from the terrible ghosts!!! After the audience had recovered from the program—everyone warmed his toes by the big bonfire—and closed the day with the school song. Page Sixty-two Yes, we played at Sno-Day. We left all the fancy trimmings behind, including Sunday suits ami nylons, ami appeared in sno-suits and ski-boots to celebrate our annual day of winter sports. Highlight of the day was the coronation of our Queen Margie Hill and King Dan Dickhart who were attended by Lavernc Drangc, Anna Marie Burgess, Don Dillon and Wayne Holtc. A red-hot basketball game with Shat-tuck warmed even our cold and tired hockey players; our Indians edged out the Cadets by one point. The very satisfying supper that followed kept our spirits up; but those hours of tobogganing, skating and skiing in the morning were beginning to take their toll, and most of us were glad to settle down and listen to the program—a presentation of Negro songs sung by several students who had faces to match. Parson Brown managed to keep things going, and with a few interspersed remarks, the program ran smoothly. After an alumni game, we all turned to the skating rink which was illuminated by a large bonfire—anti then our day was ended. Page Sixty-three OUR QUIVER STAFF Standing• Mi% Armstrong, Adviser; A.

May the memory of his Christian testimony live on and lx an inspiration to others. jU n oivfetltj m en tJ The Antler Staff wishes to express its appreciation to Augsburg Publishing House and to Leo Mero for the use of his picture “The Good Shepherd and the Sheepfold.” Special thanks go to Doris Adam and Alice Gjesdahl, our typists, without whom our yearbook could not have been completed. Miss Phyllis Englund also deserves mention for her help to us in proof reading. A special helper was Gordie LeVahn, one of our photographers. Thanks for a job well done!
