John 8:12 5 WE DEDICATE 6 LAWRENCE H. BENGTSON Administrator We, the 1951 Senior ANTLER Staff, do humbly dedicate this annual to MR. LAWRENCE H. BENGTSON, our Assistant Principal and understanding friend. His tireless efforts to keep our school running smoothly, and his good sportsmanship in all of M.A.'s activities will long be remembered by all of us. We sincerely thank him for his genuine heartfelt interest in our senior class, and in each of us as individuals. We have felt that we could take any problem to him and always find a willing listener and a wise counsellor. His consistent Christian life has been a source of inspiration to us as we have worked with him. May God continue to bless and use him in his important service here at school. 7 OUR PRESIDENT 8 REV. ARTHUR W. ANDERSON FROM THE PRESIDENT'S DESK: Graduates of 1951 — you are being set out on an uncharted journey! It is not only your calling; it is also your right and privilege. Your path will be well-worn at spots, but much of it will be through thorny thickets. At times the path will lead over sun-kissed plateaus when freedom and joy will seem as natural as the summer sun. Again it will lead through clouded valleys when steps become heavy and meaningless. Remember that the sun which shone before will shine again. Sometimes we will run into dead-end pathways. When life seems to lead nowhere, we can be assured that our frustrations have a way of fulfilling a larger purpose God has in mind for us. You will see rugged climbs ahead, too. Some of you will be tempted to say it isn't worth the effort and take an easier way Others will join in the excitement of the climb but quit when the adventure of it is passed. Education is such a climb. Developing character in the midst of modern moral perplexities is another height. All the values of earth come by way of discipline. I hope you will catch the vision on the heights and never lose it when the years pass. Wherever the unknown way leads keep your eye on the star. Do not succumb to the cry of moderns who have already lost the vision We've got to be practical. These times make the future even more uncertain than it would normally be. For the Christian young person, however, the uncharted way is a sure way for he knows Him who said, I am the light of the World. May that Light guide you in all your waysl That is my wish for the year 1951 and onwards. 9 Rev. Arthur W.

Chivalry Is not dead as we con see here. And by the job these fall semester officers have done we can see that the senior class was kept alive too. These gallant knights and foir ladies performed an excellent job ruling in the courts of the senior class. They also helped make Sno-day ond Homecoming gala affairs for the reigning royalty and their subjects. Eggs, flour, milk and the sugar, please Mr. President. We must make this batter worth something. In the mixture the recipe called for each senior to have a full measure of fun. The final products; Skip Day, Class Night, Cop and Gown Day, Baccalaureate, and Commencement turned out perfect and will long be remembered by the 51'ers.

The first event to be recorded here took place in early September, 1947, with ninety-one bright-eyed and bewildered freshmen attending the class mixer. We were soon acquainted with the other classmen who had invented the humorous initiations. In a short time any fears that we had were soon dispelled. The teachers were not slave-drivers. We found that they and the administration were very understanding and interested in all phases of our development. In the fall Miss Berg's freshman civics classes went on a trip through the Minneapolis Courthouse. Gary Anderson presided over a mock court trial in an actual court room. The remainder of the class took over other jobs and duties of court room procedure. They also visited City Council chambers and enjoyed a short rest in the councilmen's overstuffed and very comfortable chairs. Now that the members of the class of '51 were better acquainted, they elected their first class officers. Dave Jones was elected to the honored office of class president. The first big social event of the year was held at Ordemann's skating rink. After roller-skating, they went across the street to Salem Covenant Church for refreshments. Along with the football season came homecoming, over which Queen Geraldine Swedburg reigned. The football team won a 40-0 game with Osseo which was topped off with a very good supper and an excellent program. A long winning streak was started that year even though the over-all record was four wins and four losses. The cold and snow soon came and along with it. Snow Day and semester tests. Joanne Milton and Bill Ingman ruled over the day of play in the white blanket of snow. At the beginning of the new semester Paul A. Swanson was elected president of the illustrious class of '51. About this time Marty Nelson startled the school when his fire extinguisher, a science project, exploded. At their second class party the members of the class had a very good time playing in the water under Minnehaha Falls. Now that the first school year was over, everyone bade fond farewells, anxious to return in the fall. Our sophomore year opened with the usual hustle and bustle for books and completion of schedules. Everyone was delighted to see the new annex between the two buildings in place of the old green house. Kenneth Carlson was elected President of our class for this first semester of our sophomore year. This year we were thrilled to see our football team go undefeated with a final 14-7 homecoming victory over Dawson. Betty Swan was our Queen for this very successful homecoming. The Student Advance Campaign started in January. All the classes responded whole-heartedly, and by the thirteenth the building committee had given the go-ahead. This day was saddened, though, because in the afternoon, at a special assembly, we learned that Prof Pearson had passed away. Though our acquaintance with him was comparatively brief, we loved him dearly and his passing saddened each one of us. After we, the class of '51, elected Esther Burgess Class President, we saw King Dan Dickhart and Queen Margie Hill crowned at our second Snow Day. This was climaxed by food and a thrilling victory over Shattuck. 27 This year proved to be Minnehaha's biggest year in sports with an undefeated football team, a co-champion basketball team, and finally the M.P.L.S. baseball title. This truly was a big year in the major sports, and in building advancement. All was new to everyone as we juniors returned to school and found halls where rooms had been and rooms where halls had been. Minnehaha's new face-lifting had been completed. We were confused but we were also happy. Dick Klawitter was elected Class President and our big-Junior year was underway. Shortly another Homecoming was here and Donna Dahlgren was Queen for that grand day. A new rivalry was started with North Park Academy of Chicago, to which we also lost our President, Rev. Clarence Nelson. At the football banquet Bud Busse and John Hallsten passed the torch to the next year's captains, Paul R. Swanson and Dave Nasby. Snow, victories, Rosella Dennison and Jack Albinson made our third Snow Day at Minnehaha a really big and eventful day. Wesley Bodin played an important part in Minnehaha's winning the Minnesota Private School League Tournament. A new addition to our class, Stan Beckman, was also outstanding in the tournament. As the year progressed, soon the snow began to melt, small buds appeared on the trees, birds began to sing, and the thoughts of the juniors soon turned to the coming Junior-Senior Banquet. There were many plans and preparations, table decorations to be made, the program to be planned, automobiles to be polished, and dinner jackets to be fitted. We, the class of '51, as the year drew to a close, began to realize that next year would be our last at dear old M.A., and that soon we would be the all-powerful seniors. We began our senior year by electing Stan Beckman to the position of class president. He spearheaded the drive to raise funds to bring a refugee mother and her daughter to Minneapolis to live. The whole school participated in this drive. The first party of our grand senior year was a mixer, enjoyed by all who attended. Nicollet Ball Park was the scene of the Homecoming football game, over which Queen Mary Skanse and her attendants Phyllis Johnstone and Bonnie Olson, reigned. The motto for the homecoming game was Pulverize Park . However, the wrong school was pulverized, much to our dismay. Nevertheless it was one of Minnehaha's best homecomings. Next came the F.B.I. party, when we each came as a sleuth for an evening . This very original program was cleverly planned and executed (this wasn't a dead party, though) in a very efficient manner. Queen Lois Anderson, attended by Janet Sandberg and LaVerne Ostlund; and King Stan Beckman, aided by Wes Bodin and Paul R. Swanson, reigned over Snow Day. The coronation and hockey game at the Minneapolis Arena were followed by a program and basketball game at school. Dave Dybvig was elected President of our last semester. As Dave led us through our remaining days at Minnehaha, Class Night, Skip Day, Cap and Gown Day, Baccalaureate, and finally Commencement came and went. Looking back over our four years at Minnehaha, we think of the light we saw through our studies and of the light-hearted good times we enjoyed. But the most outstanding light was that which was shed on our Savior's face through Bible classes, prayer meetings, chapel services, and especially Christian teaching. We can say with deep sincerity that at Minnehaha Academy, we youth have met truth. WE BEQUEATH Stan Beckman, Master of Ceremonies: In honor of the twentieth anniversary of the partnership of our friends, Domholdt, Thomas, Birkebak, and Birkebak, attorneys at law, we, the class of 1951, hold this banquet. We rejoice with you over your years of success and we wish you many more. Besides congratulating our four classmates this evening, we want to renew old acquaintances and remember the good old days. Why, I recall when-----------------(a half hour of reminiscing) And now let's have a greeting from our honored guests. We'll first call on Mr. Neil Thomas. Neil Thomas: Master of Ceremonies, friends and fellow classmates of '51, I express my hearty thanks for your recognition of our achievement. I will speak on behalf of the Birkebak brothers, who ore suffering from laryngitis, and also on behalf of Mr. Domholdt, who recently had a wisdom tooth pulled. Just yesterday when my secretary.

We the class of 1951, being of good character and sound body, do not mind publishing this, our last will and testament.

That's the formula Richard and Roland Birkebak use, and judging from the results already, they're on their way to great achievement. Personality and vital interest in everybody makes these kids best all around . For sincerity, friendliness, and good fun, Lois Anderson and Dave Dybvig are tops. On the upbeat? These three words suggest our musical two-some, Phyllis Johnstone and Roger Bjorklund. Their long hours of practice have enabled them to say it with music.' Take it from our cutest couple —Arlene Freedholm and Bruce Swedien— two are better than one and a lot more fun. They tell us it's a fact. Looking onto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. Carol LeVahn and Paul R. Swanson represent the religious life of our school. We feel they are typical Christian young people and leaders in our class. If you want the answers to this and other brainstrainers, just consult Audrey Larson and Lowell Domholdt. For scholarship ability, they really rate high honors) Get up-and-go is what it takes to be an athlete. To Joan Carlin and Wes Bodin, though, it's just as much fun os work, cuz they're only doing what comes natcherly. Ha Ha . . . There's fun in store when Mary Anderson or Gary Anderson (huh-uh no relation) come around the corner. That's why we say they're two of the FUNniest people we know. Thinking up a way to encourage teamwork — oh, what a problem! But we specialize in getting the gang going, say Esther Burgess and Stan Beckman, our class leaders, and they know their business, too! WE FORTELL The wind howled and screeched as it chased itself around three old buildings that tried to huddle closer together. All was dark except for a tiny light coming from a closet on the fifth floor of the first building. Inside the closet an old, gnarled man was hunched over some books and muttering to himself. Three and four are five and six more makes eight or is it seven? Oh well. I'll make it nine. Carry the two and subtract eight which makes forty. The old man slammed the books together and cackled in his flowing white beard. Aha, you've done it again, Arthur. You've balanced the books for Minnehaha Academy again for this year of 1975. It was more difficult this year though. Now we're all set for 1976 except for THE PROBLEM. Something must be done. I'll call a meeting of the Board tomorrow to decide what to do. The Board met the next day in a secret meeting behind locked doors. All the members which included Mayor Bill Stuart, Sheriff Marlys Malm-sten. Fire Chief Marion Swanson , Governor Dorothe Carlson and Chief of Police Lynette Dahlgren, sat around the square mahogany table which had been a gift from Fakir Don Rhodes of India. After chairman Arlene Freed-holm had read the President's message about THE PROBLEM all was quiet. They realized it was one of the gravest problems to come to the Academy. Minnehaha must not become a backward school. It must keep up its standards but from where was money going to come to meet this situation? Everyone put on their most intelligent expressions and tried to look as if they were thinking. Suddenly Chief of the Sanitation Department Mark Anderson spoke up, Why not ask the most outstanding of all classes to bring Minnehaha Academy out of this dilemma. Naturally, you know I'm speaking of the class of '51. That class will solve your PROBLEM. This suggestion was passed unanimously, and it was agreed that any type of contribution would be accepted. Mr. Lawrence Bengtson was elected chairman of this mighty effort by the board. Work began. In two months the necessary money must be raised. The editor ot the Minneapolis Star Journal, Barbara Hauge, began a campaign in her newspaper. Jean Ziebarth, the well known news commentator, mentioned it in her program. Even Maren Winchell Jensen devoted a paragraph in her nationally read column to the undertaking of her class. The Morstad Mail Messengers, headed by Captain Bev Widen, sent the news to the North. The Pangburn Pigeons relayed it to the Southern (sections of the world. Rickers Roaring Railroad and the Ahl-quist Airlines brought the news to the eastern and western countries. The class of '51 would save the school. Headquarters for the receiving of contributions were set up on the sixth floor of the school next to the indoor roller skating rink where Joan Carlin coached skating. Soon the contributions began to arrive from all over the globe. Poor Jessie Hanson and Vivian Seburg almost broke their backs carrying the money and other types of contributions. The elevator man Lennart Nelson was simply exhausted at the day's end. Telephone operator Bonnie Olson was busy twenty-six hours of the day, and now knew why her job is not called a profession but a calling. Many varied gifts began coming in, such as an ostrich feather from Dorothy Helsing's Exclusive Shop in Africa; two lemurs from Madagascar were sent by wild game hunter Dave Bury; a baby kangaroo was shipped from Australia from rancher Steve Spier and five dozen pair of chop sticks were sent by Betty Greene, chief rice grower in Japan. Mr. Bengtson was kept busy day and night opening and reading (if he could) the many letters of which the following are a very few: 34 Sahara Desert Dear Sir: The news was just brought to us by Swomi Grace Vatsaas, and we hasten to comply with your wishes. Workman Carol Neubauer, chief surveyor Evangelyn Johanson, water tester Cal Petersen, date grower Janet Sandberg, and the cook Marge Erickson decided to sent the 10,000 you wanted. The sand is on the way. Bob loge-fiel, nationally known golf pro cannot be consulted at the present time because he is too busy trying to get out of a sand trap in the Sahara. Foremen Marilyn Haglund and Joyce Hedwall are bringing it to Grunewald Gulch through which the Ryden Racing Rocket comes once a month. We regret that the communication service in this section of the Sahara is not as regular as it should be. (Signed) P. A. Swanson and N. Thomas Water Supply Co. Motto: Roses are wonderful, Violets are grand. We don't have any water. But we have lots of sand. ★ Dear Mr. Bengston, The Lindstedt, Nuquist, and Gustafson Wrecking Company, the construction experts, just received your letter. The cement mixer, Joy Sullivan, carpenters Donna Sommerfield and Ruth Wallberg, and Barbara Nelson, chief brick layer, are calling a meeting of the workers tomorrow to decide on the donation. Our company has been very busy lately wrecking the Brandenburg Bubble Gum Company that blew up last Saturday. Upon finishing this project, we will notify you as to our decision. As Ever, Robert Goodrich President ★ The Y.O.M.A.A.A.G.G. Club (Ye Old Minnehaha Academy All Alumni Girls Glee Club) is very happy to help our class of '51 in a small way. The Director David Nasby and his cabinet consisting of chief pitch pipe blower Bev Bailer, keeper of the Smelling Salts Roger Bjorklund, and strong men John Fulton and John Carlson, who carry out fainting girls, decided that our club should hold a circus starring '51 alumni. Ticket sellers Barbara Benjamin and Priscilla Hen-slin have reported that the whole house was sold out. The refreshment committee, Leone Wal-strom, and Joan Soderholm were overwhelmed. Our wild animal act was a great success Bonne Anderson and Audrey Larson were such fierce lions that they even frightened the ring master, Dauntless Dave Dybvig. Tiger Torn-quist and Leopardess Howe started to fight in the middle of their act but were quickly subdued. The other special events were thrilling. Acro-bets Joan Burns, and Betty Dahlstrom, tied them- selves in knots and as a grand finale stood on their noses and twinkled their toeses. (This almost seems impossible.) Trapeze artist Ronnie Johnson thrilled the crowd when he hung just by his little toe from a pole 150 feet in the air. Lois Anderson made us all hold our breath when she did her tight rope act. I was sure the wire would break, but it was Weymouths Unbreakable Wire, so naturally it didn't. We were proud to have os our main attraction the tallest midget in the world, none other than Wes Bodin. The proceeds from this circus are being sent to you by way of the Amundson Armored Autos. Captain David Jones and Sergeant Fredericks have promised to guard it with their lives. Richard Klawitter, President ★ Mon Chere Monsieur Bengtson, The Minnehaha Marvelous Musicians had just arrived at our rooms in the Taj Mahal in Gay Paree when the bellhop, Mamselle JoAn Peterson brought us news of the great PROBLEM that our class has undertaken. Unfortunately we are in extremely strait condtions at the moment so will not be able to donate, but we would greatly appreciate being remembered when you are distributing the surplus. The company is presenting the great opera, L'Souri Michel (Mickey Mouse) by none other than Mary Skanse. The stars of the presentation are Mademoiselle Phy-lees Johnstone and her magic guitar with Monsieur Swedien accompanying her on the spinet. The musical critic Lois Johnson of the Engseth Editorial reports that there has never been anything like it. (That I can believe.) The other newspapers say nothing because they don't understand good music. Marge Olson, our boss vocalist, had thought she would have trouble with her French, but she didn't (only the French people did.) I saw Ambassador Don Lucius the other day, and he told me that Bob Herman is the coach of the Olympic Women's Swimming Team. Also, he said, that the Birkebaks have become great successes. They invented a Norwegian car called the Fjord. Esther Burgess stopped me on the street yesterday. She was vacationing in Paris after making a million in Africa selling heat lamps to the natives. She had come over on the U.S.S. Rush City, captained by Darlene Shogren. Our organization certainly hos traveled a lot. We've even been to all, nearly all, well, about half the places our suit case labels say we have been. Not only did we go up the Rhine but climbed to the top. Occarina player Sylvia Papke, even filled her pen in the Black Sea. Carol Petersen wants you to tell Mr. Lindberg that she has finally learned that laissez-faire are not lazy French women. Carl Palmberg expresses how we 35 all feel when he says, I'll certainly be glad to get back to America and put my feet on her vice versa. (See, I still remember my Latin, Miss Sandberg.) Au Reservor (As they say it in French) Gary Anderson ★ To Our Chairman, The people of Many Giggle Much (Minnehaha in old English) Village have banded together to help their old Alma Mater with the Problem. Our donation, I hope, will add some to your fund. As you know already our village is made up of '51 graduates of ye old Minnehaho. I thought you would be interested in hearing the latest news. The Nancy Prechtel and Mary Eckblad Clinic has become famous. They invented a new disease called the clothes sickness. Duane Swed-berg was the first victim. His symptoms? His breath came in pants, and his tongue was coated. Speaking of clincs, Stanley Holmes has just set up a chiropractic clinic. Next to this clinic is the Day Drug Store, Open All Night . Mary Anderson was just promoted to head fiz-zician in the soda fountain. She sends her greetings to you. The Gulbransons Garage just had a new sign put up: It said, Let us fix your car, you'll never know it. Marty Nelson has been very successful in his job as mattress tester of the Mattson Mattress Manufacturers. Jerry Holmer and John Holm just began a Nursery School and seem to be doing very well. You've heard of our thriving diamond business. Ruth Kallman, and Jo Olson are managing it right now, and more people probably will be joining the firm before the year is ended. Our town is known for its very outstanding police department headed by Eleanor Aus, with Lieutenant John Dahlquist and deputies Janice Reinhardt and Harold Peterson. Some of the towns people have become famous. Carl Lindell is now the personal secretary to Stalin, and John Werner accepted an invitation from Antal Dorati to become harpist in the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra. We're very proud of Lowell Domholdt who has invented the eighth wonder of the world, nothing else but a soundless radio without noise. The Village Council ★ After reading these letters, the Chairman rested by looking at TV on the twelve foot screen that had been donated to the school by Barbara Johnson, the noted television artist. Just as cowboy hero Hopalong Williams with her great horse, Archibald, rescued the wounded hero from the bandits, Mr. Bengtson's secretary, Virginia Barg, came dashing in. Come quickly, someone is trying to send you a message, she said. Very reluctantly he went to the window to see what all the commotion was about. Way off to the west he could see three puffs of smoke ascending. After a few minutes three more puffs ascended. Interpreter, LaVerne Ostlund was called in and translated the message. It said, ★ Fellow Chief, Will help brother with Heap Big Problem. In two moons, brave Clayton Berglund will bring wampum and antlers from heap big deer. Chief Carol LeVahn of the Itchy Gumy Tribe ★ Just as poor Mr. Bengtson was sitting down to view his favorite program, Gab Fest, he was interrupted again. Messenger Miriam Tapper of the Tell-All-Service brought in a delayed telegram. It read: Have just begun new business that will revolutionize the world stop We use holes in doughnuts to stuff macaroni stop Will send you first month's profit stop Gerald Lee and LeRoy Sandberg Enterprise ★ He had just digested this startling bit of information when Meteor Messenger Betty Millar brought in this moongram: Cheese business very sharp. Am sending three tons of limburger cheese made by our best cheese maker, Arlene Lundberg, as my donation. Kenny Carlson President of the Moon Cheese Co. ★ As a final attempt to gain the goal, an auction with Stan Beckman as auctioneer was held to sell the various contributions that had arrived from all over the universe. Paul R. Swanson, Minnehaha's custodian, found himself the proud possessor of the three tons of the cheese he loves the best, limburger. June Nelson brought the lemurs for her zoo in St. Paul. Kay King rushed up at the last minute to buy the chop sticks. It was just what she wanted for her Kay King's Khow House in Chinatown, San Francisco. The two months were over. All the world waited in suspense as Rev. Anderson .gd Mr. Bengtson struggled to tally the donations. At twenty minutes and fifteen seconds past one A.M., Mr. Bengtson slowly walked to the school's radio studio and announced over station CKFI„ Because of the Class of '51, Minnehaha Academy will be able to keep its high standards. With their donations it will be made possible to purchase automatic locker lights that switch on as soon as the locker opens. Thus THE PROBLEM is solved 36 • . -.••••• _________________________________________.. y y gwa inr iiiiiiii i nfm inr i — T ' ££££ Neither do men light a candle, and utm s f put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto ...-.,-K ‘;;':?all that are it , the house. ■• ' 4J 'e' Matthew 5:15 Standing: J.

They planned homecoming, Christmas festivities, and Snow Day, among others. A special project of the fall council was to arrange for two German displaced persons to come to Minneapolis. The spring council worked with field day and tickets for the C.W.A. concerts. There were problems enough to keep them all occupied. To the council members and advisers we owe all the credit for a grand job! Our Religious Council has worked hard organizing fellowship meetings, Christian Service Activities, and morning prayer meetings. The first semester council led by John Fulton, arranged Thanksgiving and Christmas prayer services, set up the Christian Service Club, and planned fellowship meetings. The spring council, with Miriam Tapper presiding, had charge of the Lenten and Easter observances, and the chapel messages during Christian Emphasis Week. Through these efforts, all of us have benefitted, and the religious life of our school has been greatly enriched. R E L c 1 0 G u 1 N 0 c u 1 s L Standing: K. Markve, D. Dybvig. A. Johnson, R.

The gridders completed the season with the same record, of two wins and two losses, in the conference and nonconference contests. The pre-conference games, against St. Agnes and Augustana Academy, were good exhibitions of football. St. Agnes was turned back decisively in a night game in Central Stadium, St. Paul, by the score of 20-0. The team play stood out as four players hit pay dirt. Following the same pattern the Indians turned back a fighting Augustana Academy eleven 26-6. Concordia, on a day of rain and mud, stopped several long Indian marches to hold Minnehaha scoreless. Halfback Carl Petzke scored the lone touchdown enabling Concordia to win 6-0. Against defending champion Shattuck, the Indians suffered their second conference defeat, but only after putting up a good fight. The first half ended scoreless with the line play on both teams outstanding. Minnehaha fumbled away their chances to score in the second half. Shattuck capitalized twice in the fourth quarter to win 12-0. Minnehaha's homecoming was darkened by a 25-13 defeat at the hands of on excellent North Pork team. Many observers thought this contest was the best of the year for the fighting Indians. The game featured the running of Porker Halfback Jacks who scored four T.D.'s. Chief ground gainers for Minnehaha were Nasby and Herman. Against Pillsbury the fired Indian eleven exploded to cross the goal line five times in the second half after scoring only once in a nip and fuck first half. In this first conference victory eight Indians scored to make the final tally 42-0. Under the lights at White Bear the Redmen suffered their second non-conference defeat, 19-6. Minnehaha's lono touchdown came on a Johnson to Haugen pass. Finishing the season with a victory over a scrappy Breck team, Minnehaha gained an even split in conference play. The Indians were handicapped by the loss of Nasby and Day due to injuries. The outcome of this thriller was in doubt until Haugen streaked for the deciding points. Special recognition should be extended to Dave Nasby. For the second time in two years he was selected on the All-Conference team. Winning honorable mention were Wes Bodin, Paul R. Swanson, Stan Beckman, and Jerry Weins. Co-captains — Paul R. Swonson and Dave Nosby. EVEN ThirtdHhree to the left on the two count. Reinertson, R. Herman Andersort, U. Weins, W.

Trumpets blow! A triumphant chord was struck, and our lovely queen candidates came slowly down the aisle between two rows of football players. As everyone stood breathless, Dave Nasby and Paul R. Swanson, the co-captains, crowned Mary Skanse, queen over homecoming. Reigning with her as her attendants were Phyllis Johnstone and Bonnie Olson. After filling our tummies with spaghetti and meat balls, we all sat back to enjoy the program. The professor (Gary) reminisced about past homecomings at Minehaha. The football team of that day (the Miriams) was coached by Terry Denley. There wero even some peppy cheerleaders, (the K.M.'s) No homecoming would be complete without a queen, so levely (?) Dick Tornquist was chosen. I'm too fall! Following the program everyone went out to watch the mammoth bonfire. The huge flames lit up the campus and took some of the briskness out of the night. The first day of homecoming was over, and everyone looked forward to tho next night. Early Saturday evening the alumni gathered in our gaily decorated dining hall for dinnor and a program. Thoy had a fine time talking about the good old days and enjoying reunion. Homecoming this year featured something new and different. Our game with North Park Acadomy was played under the lights at Nicollet Field. The game was a thriller, for every team member did his best. Our band played for the cheer loadors, and during the half they accompanied Joanie Carlin as she did bends in every direction. Her performance kept tho fans spollbound. Our queen ond her attendants came to sit on tho fifty yard lino to help cheer the team on. Although we didn't win, the team played a beautiful game. We felt that it per- fectly topped off another festive homecoming. Believe it or not? Down By tho Old Mill Stream Tho Minnehaha-North Park rivalry was continued in both football and basketball again this year. The Parkers traveled to Minneapolis to challenge the Indians in a night football game at Nicollet Park, which ended the homecoming festivities. Proving the trip not to be in vain. North Park caused Minnehaha no end of trouble on the gridiron. Led by hard running backs and a fast charging line the Parkers emerged the victors even though the Indians reached their season's peak in drive and fight. Continuing the series, Minnehaha took over traveling duties arriving at North Park in Chicago after a tiring eighteen-hour bus ride. Welcomed by loyal M.A. students and alumni the Indians were more determinca than ever to avenge the football defeat. The following evening, at Roosevelt gym, the Indians scoring was evenly divided between Bodin, Beckman, Reinertson, and Modson, creating a highly effective offense. The defense stopped everyone but Dave Elia, high scoring guard. This Indian win was the first victory in either basketball or football for Minnehaha over North Park in this two yoar series.

Defending champion Minnehaha and runner-up Shattuck were again the preseason favorites for the coming M.P.S.l. season. Showing indications of this the Indians started fast by winning their first five non-conference tilts. Entoring conference play against Breck the Indians were lod by Bodin, Beckman, and Reinertson, who tallied a total of forty-nine points. The outcome, Minnehaha 56-Breck 42, was never in doubt after the early stages of the game. The second contest also in Minnehaha's favor as the undermanned Breck team 76-54. With a 22-21 halftime score Minnehoho found trouble in a scrappy Concordia team. However, Reinertson and Bodin led the Indians to a strong finish resulting in a 51 to 34 victory. The next Minnehaha-Concordia contest followed the samo pattern. Behind at the first quarter, the Indians gradually worked back into the lead which grew until fatal to the fighting Comets. Outplaying, outshooting, and outscoring the Pillsbury five, the Indians gained two decisive triumphs, 69-33 and 73-29. Reserves played an important part in both performances. An oil junior lineup started the second contest and played exceptional ball. As was predicted the Minnehaha-Shattuck struggles decided the championship. The Shad, by winning both games, replaced the Indians as M.P.S.l. Champions, while M.A. gained an undisputed second-placo. The contests were very close, the first tilt ended 37 to 33. Free throws were the deciding factor in the second gamo. Minnehaha outscored the Shads from the field but droppd their second conference game of the season 44-41. The M.P.S.L. tournament played on the Minnehaha hord court climaxed a so for up and down season for the Indians. Although slightly disrupted by the weather, this spectacle lost no interest and color for the schools involved. Minnehaha and Breck met in the tourney opener Saturday March third. With Reinortson and Bodin paving tho way the Indions were in control throughout the contest. The reserves again saw considerable action with nine playors crashing tho scoring column for a 50-28 win. An underdog Concordia team upset Shattuck tho following Monday in a 36-33 thriller, putting them in the championship game the following evoning. led by Bodin reaching his offensive peak of twenty-three points, the Indians had little trouble with the fighting Concordia five. By this 54-35 victory Minnehaha was crowned M.P.S.l. Tournament Champions for tho second successive year. Bodin, Beckman, Reinertson, and Haugen were placed on the All-Conference team. Also on the All-Tournament team were Bodin ond Reinertson with Bodin being voted Most Valuable Player of the Tournament.

Champs SNO-DAY You arc my Sugar Candy Our day of winter sports. Snow Day, was full of fun, frolic, and festivity. It got off to a good start with skating for everyone at the Minneapolis Arena. Early in the afternoon, Minnehaha Indians mot the Comots from Concordia for a snappy hockey game, which turned out 3-0 in our favor. Coronation of the Snow King and Queon was an oxciting event. We could have heard a pin drop as the crowns were brought forward. Stan Beckman and lois Andorson becamo the royal pair, with attendants LaVerne Osllund, Janet Sandberg, Paul Swanson, and Wes Bodin. After the hockey game, we all swarmed out onto the ice again to skate for a while before going to school for the program. This original production was put on in the school's assembly hall. We laughed and sympathized too with poor Hjalmer, a homesick Swedish immigrant, (Paul R. Swanson). The Miriams, the K. D.'s, and the K. M.'s did their bost to cheer him up. Finally Mr. Bongtson happond along and told Hjalmor about all the nice Scandinavians at Minnehaha. So off thoy went togethor — (and overyono lived happily ever after.) Tho last big itom of the day was the baskotball gamo in our own gym. There was plenty of lusty cheering as our team fought hard to beat New Ulm luthor. We came out on the short end, but it was close all the way, (and wero we hoarse the next day!) We were sorry to see the celebration end. If had gone much too quickly, but we all agreed that it couldn't have boon moro fun! 1951 HOCKEY SEASON Standing: J. lin tcdt Mgr., D. Rhodes, J. Roadfeldt, B. Herman, B. Lundquist, Coach Rainbow. Row 1: D. Tornquist, J. Gustafson, B. Goodrich, D. Swenson, B. Shogren, H. Nowquist, R. Bjorklund. With little cooperation from the weatherman together with lack of expecience the Minnehaha hockey team ended the year in third place with three wins and three losses. The Indians were defeated by champion Brock twice, 5-2 and 4-3. With a few more breaks coming their way things might have been different, particularly in the second contest. Two of the three Indian conference victories were against Concordia. Playing on the loser's rink M.A. emerged a 3 to2 victor. At the Minneapolis Arena on Sno-Day the redmen triumphed 3 to 0. The steller performances of the year for the Indian icemen wore vorsus Shottuck. With the Indians visiting, the result was Shattuck 2, Minnehoha 1. The deciding goal came in the third period after Goodrich had scored for M.A. in the second period to knot the score at one all. In the second meeting the Indian puckmen reached their season's best by decisively defeating the Shads 5 to 2. Again led by Goodrich, who tallied twice, Minnehaha defeated Shattuck for the first time in history. Leading the Indian's this season were Copt. Bob Goodrich and Dick Tornquist. With the added experience and only slight losses through graduation, next year promises an even greater season. B SQUAD 56 a BASEBALL Standing: R. Nelson, Manager, R. Carlson, T. Hughes, D.

Golden arms I got itl With lettermen returning to virtually every post excopt tho outfield positions, Minnehaha will in all probability rank high in the conference again this year. The Defending Champion Indians, under Coach Rainbow, began practicing in the gym and then turned to out-of-doors as tho woathor permitted. With the able pitching of Willie Lundquist and Dale Shellman, backed up by hard hitting Wes Bodin, Scott Henderson, and Paul Swanson, the Indians undertake a schedule of eight conference games and six non-conference games. Pcppor TRACK Standing: L. Tornquisf, J. Swanson, Manager, L. Nelson, R. Johnson, 0. Ostrom, M. Anderson, Coach Sulack, S. Beckman, J. Stam. Kneeling: D. Barvillo, D. Swedberg, D. Mottam, D. Lucius, R. Rikkets, J. Martinson, D. Peterson, B. Herman. Flying high! Even considering the handicap of not having a track of thoir own, the Indians are hoping for a successful season. Tho lack of seasoned votorans is noticeable with only two letter-men, Bob Herman and Stan Beckman, returning. Coach Sulack will therefore have many openings for boys willing to work diligently. Five meets are scheduled this year. These will be dual and triangular contests, except for the league meet to bo held late in May. Up . . . 'n . . . over Determined TENNIS Standing] P. Sandberg, Coach Starr, 8. Shogren. Kneeling: R. Birke-back, I. Domholdt, R. Birkeback. The coming of spring brings into prominence, among other things, the tennis team. The team, composed of three lettermen, Lowell Domholdt, Rich and Roland Birkeback, and several other boys with considerable experience, should prove a strong representative for Minnehaha. Six conferences have been planned to keep the fellows busy. GOLF Standing: D. Voss, A. Olson, D. Bury, B. Conrad, D. Skanse, H. Eclov. Kneeling: G. Anderson, B. logefiel, D. Madsen, D. Rees. As the third year of golf gets under way, the coming season appears to bo the best in Minnehaha's history. Although only one letterman, Copt. Bob Logefiel, is returning, there are several very promising underclassmen. Five conference and five non-conference motches are scheduled with the varsity-faculty game ending the year. 60 BUt if we walk in the light, as ie f is in the light, u;c have fellowship '7 one with another, I John 1:7 CHOIR Feig, P.

And work they didl By November tenth they were ready for their debut at the Missionary Conference at First Covenant. Also in November they sang for the members of the Minnehaha Fellowship. They will long remember two things from the Christmos season. First was the Christmas program and the singing of many familiar carols. The choir joined the Singors in numbers from the Messiah . (Also — remember the giggles when the lights went on and Mrs. Sandberg was still in the box? —) The other event was the party and trip to the Old Soldiers' Home. The Singers song their best that night, and appreciation beamed from the faces of their audience. They workod hard in preparation for their spring concerts. In the meantime thoy sang at various churches throughout the twin cities and also in our chapel services. Listeners and choristers olike were inspired as the Singers, Choir, and Chorus presented Dubois' Seven lost Words of Christ ot First Baptist Church on March sixteenth. The following week the Singers appeared ot the Traffic Club. 62 Top Row: D. Rorvillt, H. Johnson, 0. Nosby, C. Ahlquist, M. Nelson, T. Johnson, W. son, J. VonDrunen, J. Weins. Row 3: C. LoVohn, A.

A week later Myrna Montgomery, vibra-harpist, appeared as guest artist at the Minneapolis concert. Once again it was tour time, corried the Singers to Duluth for rally on Saturday night, April twenty-eighth. Sunday wot spent ot various churches in the morning ond in on afternoon concert ot First Covenant Church in Duluth. In Moy the group traveled to Northfield for St. Olaf's music festival. Vesper services, baccalaureate, ond graduation wound up the year. Every bit of labor hod reaped great reword — not only in fellowship, but also in the joy of working for Christ.

Chapel is a time to stop and think, a time to see Jesus only. Sometimes we have outside speakers, and on certain days the individual home rooms plan the program. Quite often thore are student fellowship meetings, and every Thursday is music day, with Mr. Opol in charge. Regular assembly days give us secular programs of interest. The quality and variety of the chapel programs make chapel one of the high points of the day. CHAPEL MORNING PRAYER MEETING Start the day right — with prayer. This counsel is heeded every morning by those who meet for fellowship and prayer.

Chritrion leadership it our goal. ...SteentuzCd (ZAridtian eadendAifr... When analyzed in termt of personality traits, leadership it largely made up of these five qualities: 1. IDEAS — To be a leader a person needs a large range of information, a skill in meeting new situations, and a resourcefulness in putting ideas together so as to meet a need. The person who knows, and who knows where to find out, has an advantage. It was well said that if God does need human knowledge. He needs human ignorance less. 2. ENTHUSIASM — Genuine enthusiasm for a cause hos a mognetic effect on those around — they are drawn in spite of themselves. Such enthusiasm expressed, not in tempo of speech, but in sincere earnestness and self-giving, has always been a mark of truly Christian leaders. 3. STAMINA — A price of leadership it hord work ond perseverance, full commitment to a couse requires continuity of effort even in the face of hardship. In Christian service, the Lord has only small jobs for fair-weather prophets. 4. CONFIDENCE — The leader needs to be sure of himself, so sure thot he does not need to cover a tense of inferiority with an overbearing attitude. True confidence in God and in one's relationship to Him produce humility and meekness in a personality. 5. CHARACTER — The true leader has integrity and it fully consistent.

Education a a whole of that time had begun to discount the Bible at an authority for the Age of Science and to rebuild upon the sand of human reason. UNPRECEDENTED WORLD PROBLEMS are beating upon the two foundations today. Northwestern's stance is firmer thon ever, but the house upon the sand is shaking, while educators plead for a voice of authority to point the way to a sure foundation. • TO HELP BRIDGE THAT INTELLECTUAL GAP, Northwest-em’s Science Department has initiated a course on the correlation of science and the Bible.
