WHO WE ARE II _WHAT WE DO This yearbook is edited and published by the students of the Senior High School, Robbinsdale, Minnesota Misj Skoglund folks over next year's work with Audrey Bork. Dean of Girls Registering all the girls in senior high is a task to stagger the bravest, but it was one cheerfully undertaken by Miss Alice Skoglund. girls’ adviser. Shall I take geometry to become an interior decorator? questioned one puzzled sophomore. Will typing be an asset to a nurse? was the query of another student. The questions flew thick and fast, and the answers came sympathetically from an understanding and patient adviser as Miss Skoglund consulted charts, pamphlets, and other sources of information. Miss Skoglund came here last fall to take over tho position as dean of girls. She has acted as general chairman of advisers of all classes, and has taken over supervision of all social functions of the school. In addition to her extra-curricular duties, she is a mathematics instructor. 'foleivobd The pages of this yearbook will try to express our sincere appreciation to the school board, the enterprising business men, and all who helped to make it possible for Robbinsdale to have its new model high school. Pdse 5 SUPT. E. J. COOPER Mr. Cooper Perhaps one of the most deciding factors in procuring a high school for Robbinsdale was Mr. Cooper's persistent effort. Mr. Cooper has had a wide experience in high school supervision and came here well equipped to guide a young school into wider channels. He taught and coached at Fort Sumner, New Mexico, 'n 1920. was principal at Fayette, Iowa, from 1922 to 1923, and was superintendent of schools at Gutenberg. Iowa, from 1923 to 1927. For several years, he served as superintendent at Monona, Iowa, and then, in 1930, came to Robbinsdale. His scholastic training brought him to Upper Iowa University, the University of Illinois, and the University of Minnesota. He was awarded his bachelor of arts degree and also his degree as master of arts. He is a member of Phi Delta Kappa, national honorary education fraternity. V Any school's main standard should be scholarship , he urges, but at the same time, Mr. Cooper believes that leisure time activities should be prevalent. He is very much interested in the welfare of students, and is active in promoting the creative arts, such as music, dramatics and writing, as well as athletics. Pa3e 6 DR. HENRY E. HARTIG Dedication In a world in which education plays an increasingly important part, what civic enterprise could be more valuable to a community than the erection of a modern school? Education, which a philosopher has termed man's greatest armor, took an upward turn when the school board, backed by an enthusiastic clan of townspeople, voted in the proposed project. It was declared that a new high school would bring opportunity to the doorstep of many students who would otherwise be deprived of the chance to continue their studies. Adequate facilities for furthering laboratory and project courses, in addition to the housing of the standbys of readin', writin', and ’rithmetic , would help to round out the educational program. To you. the School Board of Robbinsdale, we dedicate this book. We feel that you are most worthy of such a tribute, and hope you will understand the gratitude with which we make use of everything which has been provided for us. Thank you for everything—a beautiful building, large well-equipped rooms, recreational centers, dramatic, vocational, and sports facilities, and a spacious auditorium. We appreciate your efforts.

The Class of January, 1939 Just a sprinkling of girls and a handful of boys are listed on the rostrum of the second and final mid-year graduating class, which numbers just 33. John Leland heads the class this year, with Glenn Stoffel as vice-president and Margaret Dale as secretary-treasurer. Together with the present graduating group, the 12-B class was host at a junior and senior party-dance honoring the graduates of January. 1938. A Christmas motif was carried out with red and green streamers, red-covered lights, holly leaf dance programs, and a sprinkling of mistletoe. Santa Claus Court was a feature of the evening. Guests found amusement dancing, or playing shuffleboard, darts, or ping-pong. A grand march which was led by officers of the three groups opened the evening. The group boasts a high scholastic rating, placing an average of 20% of its members on the honor roll each six weeks. Three members. Helen Sahly, Donald Hollsten, and Charles Mooney were elected to the National Honor Society. The Thespians of the class are Margaret Dale. Margery Batson, and Edmund Schroeder; Charles Mooney was recently elected to membership in Quill and Scroll, national honorary journalism fraternity. At the conclusion of their ninth grade year, these students presented the school with the double-faced clocks which are stationed centrally in both the lower and upper halls.

The building is a simplified type of modern school architecture with many special features. The two-way public address system, community room, recessed lockers, recreation room, and library are among the finest in the state. There are fourteen classrooms and thirteen special rooms, including music, art, commercial, home economics rooms, and shops. Th gymnasium equipment is sufficient to suit the needs of every student. Extra storage space is also provided throughout the building. A large auditorium with remote control lighting and complete stage facilities provide background for plays and assemblies.

Thespians The national Thespian dramatic honor society for high schools is a strictly non-secret, non-social, nonprofiting organization devoted exclusively to the interests of educational dramatics. It serves as a strong and wholesome incentive for greater participation in educational dramatics, as a use of leisure time. Thespian membership is only the beginning of serious work in dramatics and not the end. Robbinsdale was accepted as a member of the national society last fall and a charter for installation of Thespian Troupe No. 352 was granted. Charter members include Marjorie Batson, Louis Gallagher, Dorothy Howe, Jack Levine. John Mueller. Delores Patnode, Warner Peterson, Betty Schoff, Juanita Vos, Ogden Wiklund. Roberta Worden, Elizabeth Youssi. Miss Bess Sinnott is troupe sponsor. Why The Chimes Rang , His First Girl . His First Shave , Orchids For Marie , and Love in Bloom were the one-act plays produced by this organization. Remember The Day , a three-act comedy, was staged April 7 and 8. Several Thespians also appeared in Young Lincoln , the all school play. Student Council The student council serves as the link between the students and the administration. Any new policies which the students feel should be incorporated into the schedule of students’ activities are discussed in the student council before being presented to the administration. The student council sent two representatives to a convention at Stillwater and was in charge of homecoming arrangements in the fall. Page 29 First row: V. Langmado, M. Rasmussen. I. Westby. D. Howe.

National Honor Society The Robbinsdale branch of the National Honor Society was founded in the fall of 1937. This organization has an outstanding purpose. It recognizes scholarship, character, service, and leadership. The people who are eligible are the upper one-third of each class. Five per cent of each for the last three semesters have been selected. The chapter was installed in the fall by Washburn high school of Minneapolis. There are over 2.000 chapters in the United States. New members are installed with a tapping ceremony. Scholarship is judged by class rank, character, by the teacher's ranking, service by activities participated in, and leadership by vote of the eligible group themselves. Each member receives a pin and an engraved card. The Student Life magazine is available to all the members who subscribe for it. There is a National Ho ior Society Revolving College loan fund for students who wish to borrow money with which to attend college. Its return is payable to the fund upon receipt of a position. The honor society now has 28 members. Mr. Reichert is the sponsor. New members who were installed after the picture was taken are Audrie Howe, Audrey Robinson, John Mueller, Lloyd Refsell, and Florence Race of the 12A class, Helen Sahly, Charles Mooney, and Don Hollsten of the I2B class, and Dorothy Arnold, Ward Gronfield, Mary Kable, Beverly Stelzer, Elizabeth Youssi, Arthur Jones. Mary Jane Williams, and Geraldine Hanson of the eleventh grade. Hi-Y Hi-Y was organized in the spring of 1937 with Robert Headley as the first president and Mr. Hagemeister as the faculty adviser. Don Grant was the first leader. The other officers were Howard Nicol, vice-president; Bill Henney, treasurer: Lawrence Mason, secretary. The new officers are Jack Levine, president: Don Forrey, secretary; Bill Henney. treasurer; Wallace Miner, vice-president. Bill Reitzke is the new leader. He is the leader of the North Side Y. M. C. A. Meetings are held every Thursday evenina in the old school lunch room. Members discuss current problems in their meetings and participate in many active sports.

French Club The French Club, Le Cercle Francais , aims to comprehend and enjoy the ideals and customs of French people; and the entertainment at each meeting has a primary interest in the achievement of this aim. A clear understanding of the French people helps the club members to gain a better interest in the study of French. Le Cercle Francais was organized in 1937 under the direction of Miss Tuve. It is composed of five departments, each of which has the responsibility of entertaining the club at its bi-monthly meetings. Mr. Sheets of the University of Minnesota, who has traveled extensively throughout France, gave an interesting informal talk on his experiences while abroad. He also exhibited sketches of the French people and scenes. German Club The German Club is made up of students who have completed one year of German. The meetings are held at regular intervals, and the programs are varied. Many outside speakers are invited and German foods are served. The members of the club carry on correspondence with students in Germany. Through this correspondence they have obtained interesting facts concerning German life and customs. The members also exchange pictures, magazines, and little gifts with their foreign friends. Audrey Howe is president of the club, David Hartig is vice-president, and Lorraine Neff is secretary-treasurer. Page 31 Left to Right. First row: Angela Stinchfield.

Quill and Scroll The advent this year of a regularly printed newspaper and of a year book brought with it the establishment of the national honorary society for high school journalists in Robbinsdale. Quill and Scroll, with a primary membership of seventeen, was organized early in the spring under the advisership of the Misses Rice and Davis. Founded as the national unit was to foster journalism, the local chapter is a fundamental part of the journalism department. It provides wider scope for creative writing than it has been possible to offer in journalism classes. Membership in the unit carries with it the privilege of entering contests conducted by the Scholastic magazine, by the Student Editor, and by Quill and Scroll, the magazine published by the national organization. Standards for membership are kept purposefully high. 1. Candidates must be of junior or senior classification, or post-graduates. 2. They must be in the upper third of their class in general scholarship at the time of their selection. 3. They must have done superior work in writing, editing, or business management. 4. They must be recommended by the supervisor or by the committee governing publications. 5. They must be approved by the national secretary-treasurer. The by-laws, constitutions, ceremony, etc., of the club are contained in the chapter chronicle. Charter members of the chapter are: Mary Bender, Lillian Westby, Florence Race, La Vern Fall, Marjorie George, Angela Stinchfield, Gay Anderson, Margaret Kranz, Geraldine Hanson, Betty Schoff, Berdine Farrington, Howard Nicol. Elizabeth Youssi, Katherine Cooper. Bill MacKay, and John Mueller. Past 32 Reading Left to Right— First row: J. Levine, L. Refscll, L. Wetfby, Miss Davis. M. Bender, J. Sievert, G. Frick, H. Nicol.

Students thrilled at the idea of publishing a yearbook, and immediately decided to dedicate their book to the school-board which had helped to give them their new building. Edited by Mary Bender and Lillian Westby, The Robin endeavored to touch all fields of school activity in its content. Gayle Frick, as business manager, brought the finances through a trying year. The book has been under the supervision of Miss Davis. Architecture' was chosen as a suitable theme, and emphasis was placed on seasonal changes in the appearance of the school, and on special laboratory projects carried on. Extra-curricular activities played an important role in the makeup of the book also. The Robin's Tale Fourteen issues constitute the results of the labor of a diligent staff which edited the first year’s copies of a printed Robin's Tale. Capably edited by Betty Schoff as editor-in-chief, the paper was also under editorial supervision of Geraldine Hanson, Bill MacKay, and Katherine Cooper. Miss Rice is the adviser of the publication. Reporters included members of the journalism class. The paper is published bi-monthly and has a large circulation. An inter-school method of exchange has been responsible for the inclusion of activities in other communities which are of interest here. Pa3e 33 First row: D. Davis, 8. Olson. S. Westphal. D. Boll.

The group was directed by Mr. Hegg. With Mr. Aftreth conducting, the group entered the contest again this year. An overture entitled On the Volga by Ivan Akimenko was this year's composition. With the advent of pepfests and band music, the orchestra suffered a temporary lull which has recently been corrected. The group has appeared on a number of programs, with mid-year graduation, plays, and operettas heading the list. Band Strains of martial music drifting through the corridors daily proclaim the strenuous efforts of band members under the able baton of Mr. Aftreth. In addition to fostering the love of music as its prime motive, the band has enjoyed the privilege of providing stirring backgrounds for pepfests and games. !t has taken pride in appearing in assemblies and other school programs which were open to the public. During the district tournament, held here in March, a pep band of 16 members was chosen from the entire roll to uphold Robbinsdale's musical reputation at all games. The band boasts complete up-to-the-minute equipment. Its most recent addition is a set of tympani, joyfully annexed by the percussion section. The tympani, according to Mr. Aftreth, are the finest obtainable and are pedal tuned. An exchange concert with Hopkins provided musical assemblies for the students of both schools. Several selections named by the district music committee have provided material for recent rehearsals. The contest was held in St. Paul the last week in April. Page 35 Left to Right—First row: W.

The membership was increased to 62 voices in 1936 when a bass section was added to the organization. Under the capable direction of Miss Katter the choir has given many commendable performances. The Spring Festival of 1935 was the first program to be given by the choir, and it was reputedly a great success. It took place on the school grounds and, with the aid of colored spotlights and microphones, proved to be a spectacular and inviting performance. Perhaps the choirs' most effective program was that given during the Christmas season of 1936. In Old Vienna was the first operetta to be presented in the new high school. Splendid performances were given by Delores Patnode and John Mueller who were assisted by a chorus of forty-five voices. This year's operetta, The Flower of Venezia , also received special recognition. Two junior high girls, Rena Richter and Pat Barrett, carried solo roles as the two daughters of the Doge of Venezia and his haughty wife. The parents were portrayed by John Hartig and Elizabeth Youssi. The seafaring hero of the operetta was Tom Roddy, nephew of the Duke de Bomba, to whom the doge was hopelessly in debt. For the sake of the title, the younger daughter decided to marry the duke and. as an afterthought, saved her father's honor, and the older daughter was then left free to marry her sailor lover. Beautiful costuming, combined with artistic lighting on a stage set built for the occasion, all added to the effectiveness of the presentation. Page 36 R. Swanson, C. Hanson, M.

Snackenburg Clarinet Quartet The smiling foursome of the wood-wind section has been known to the public for the past season as the clarinet quartet, and up to the present time has played only for Mothers' Teas held in the community room. The group entered the district music contest with the selection, Serenade , by Hayden. Boys' Quartet Under the direction of Miss Katter, the boys' quartet with its accompanist, Jack Levine, was organized last fall. All four boys are soloists and, in addition to their quartet activities, have taken leading roles in musical productions. Brass Sextette Six soloists, representing the cream of the instrumental musicians, have joined forces to bring the joys of a brass sextette to the student body. They have played on many occasions such as the Fathers and Sons Banquet, the football banquet, and P. T. A. meetings. The composition, Der Kreishchutz , by C. M. Von Weber was chosen by this group tor its competition in the district meet. Page 37 PRINCIPALS: O. Wiklund. J. Roach, 0. Pat-node, G. Warde, R. Willij, 8. Culhone, L. Gallagher, A. Wilson, E.

Why the Chimes Rang On the fourteenth of December, the Thespian Society, assisted by the a capella choir, presented a Christmas program in the school auditorium. Following the installation ceremony, the Thespians produced the play, Why the Chimes Rang”, by Elizabeth MacFadden. Supplemental music was furnished by the choir. Members of the cast included Gerald Warde, Allan Wilson, Joe Roche. Margaret Kranz. Louis Gallagher. Arthur Jones. Ogden Wiklund. Delores Patnode. Betty Culhane, Betty Schoff. Richard Willis, and Edmund Schroeder. Growing Pains With both a modern and an old-fashioned slant on unsophisticated youth as it flutters uncertainly on the wings of sixteen, Growing Pains was presented to the public under the direction of Miss Bess Sinnott. Carroll Zable and Betty Schoff enacted leading roles as George and Terry respectively. The plot deals with Terry, who attempts to hold her fiance, regardless of Prudence, an up-to-the-minute siren. Mary Rasmussen was cast as Prudence. Prudence, however, at Terry's party, vamps everybody in the neighborhood, including Terry's brother, George. Climaxing this conquest, Prudence leaves all her boy friends, telling them they are too young. Dorothy Howe and Louis Gallagher aged somewhat to enact the bewildered parents. The entire cast numbered some thirty members. Page 38 Reading Left to Right—G Hanson. M. Roach. L. Davis J. Stolzer. I. Chase. K. Ste phons, R. Willis, J. Vos. O Wildund. G. Andorson, E Schroeder. K. Murphy. E Youssi, R. Worden. R. Hau gen. S. Taylor (on floor). Young Lincoln “Young Lincoln i$ a comedy drama in a prologue, three acts, and an epilogue by Wilbur Braun. The play is historical, and was presented under Miss Sinnott's direction by an all-school cast on January 6. Stanley Taylor had the honor of portraying the boy. Lincoln. Kenneth Stephens enacted Lincoln in his manhood, relating the lizard story for which he became so famous, his nomination to the legislature, and his romance with beautiful Ann Rutledge. Juanita Vos was cast as Ann Rutledge, while Ogen Wiklund and Gay Anderson took the parts of Mr. and Mrs. Rutledge. Ruby Haugen, as a maid in the Rutledge household, was well-chosen for a character role of this type. Other parts in the play were taken by Lucille Davis, Dick Willis, Irene Chase, Geraldine Hanson, Margaret Roche, Jack Stelzer, Keith Murphy, Roberta Worden, Edmund Schroeder. and Elizabeth Youssi. Dealing as it did with the early life of America’s great patriot and emancipator, this play brought a fresh note and contained a stimulating portrait of what may be accomplished in spite of poverty, privation, and self-denial. Abraham Lincoln was portrayed as the very spirit of the nation, the essence of all that is fine and noble in the history of the country. The play's historical background was essentially correct. It depicted Lincoln who, although raised in poverty and suffering from lack of opportunities and advantages, because of his warm heart and his charitable and just nature, rose to the heights of achievement. It pictured his grief at the passing of his adored mother, his arrival in New Salem, and his entry into the Black Hawk Star. The drama is the first of its kind to be presented here, and was honored with the presence of Mr. Lawrence Brings of the Northwestern Press. Mr. Brings found the costuming and setting so well-done that he requested the director to have pictures taken of each scene for use in publishing the play. Page 39 Left to Right— Betty Moore Allan Wilson Lloyd Refsell Declamation A district championship in oratory, and a sub-district title in the humorous division were the honors reaped by the speech department. Lloyd Refsell, senior, with the oration. The Unfinished World , placed first in the local event, in the sub-district contest held at St. Louis Park, and in the district event conducted at Hopkins. He was defeated in the regional contest held at West high school. Allan Wilson, humorous contestant, chose a cutting from Penrod and Sam. It was entitled “In or In , and was awarded top honors in both the local and sub-district events, losing narrowly in the district contest with a second place. Another Spring was the selection chosen by Betty Moore, who was named winner in the dramatic division. Betty placed second in the elimination meet held at St. Louis Park. The local contest was held here in mid-February when seventeen industrious declamation students presented their selections to a few hardy listeners who had braved a blizzard to attend. Contestants in the oratorical division were Donald Kloss. Lloyd Refsell, Edmund Schroeder, Ward Gronfield, John Mueller, and Ogden Wiklund. In the dramatic division were Lee Walch, Audrey Robinson, Dorothy Howe, Helen Kraus, Betty Moore, Catherine Trombley, and Grace Gagne. Geraldine Hanson, Allan Wilson, Jeanette Hughes, and Richard Stinchfield provided the laughs of the evening in their humorous presentations. Page 40 Schoolroom Scone.

Leading roles were carried by Helen Kraus as Nora Trinell, and Joe Roche as Dewey Roberts. Schoolroom scenes and behavior were enacted by a cast which took delight in making the most of every situation. In addition to the schoolroom background, an elaborate floral set, and a home scene were well carried out. Music was under the direction of Mr. Aftreth. Left to Right — First row: Charles Mooney, Gorald Warde. Russell Johanson: second row: Allan Wilson, Glenn Stoffel. Wallace Miner. Bob Rosenwald. Stage Crew Much of the success of plays, assemblies, operettas, and other activities given in the auditorium is due largely to the fact that Robbinsdale boasts an efficient stage crew. The stage force consists of boys who have been working diligently on all productions given on the stage. Gerald Warde heads the crew as manager. The light managers are Allan Wilson and Wallace Miner. Russell Johanson, Glenn Stoffel. and Charles Mooney are stage assistants. John Hartig plays an important role as manager of the public address system. Page 41 Left to Right— First row: D. Arnold, M.

Girls' Athletic Association The Girls’ Athletic Association, organized under the supervision of Miss Skartvedt, has afforded an opportunity for participation in all kinds of sports. It has set up a system by which points are recorded and awards of emblems or letters are made. In contrast to the intramural activities of boys, the chief purpose of competition is to strive for knowledge -and bodily good. Since competition is not keen, good sportsmanship is taken for granted, and skill is considered the most important factor. The association has endeavored to keep as a basis for its existence the following set of rules: compiled by Hugh S. Fullerton. 1. Thou shalt not quit. 2. Thou shalt not alibi. 3. Thou shalt not gloat over winning. 4. Thou shalt not be a rotten loser. 5. Thou shalt not take an unfair advantage. 6. Thou shalt not ask odds thou art unwilling to give. 7. Thou shalt always be ready to give thine opponent the shade. 8. Thou shalt not under-estimate an opponent, nor over-estimate thyself. 9. Remember that the game is the thing and that he who thinketh otherwise is a mucker and no true sportsman. 10. Honor the game thou playest. for he who loseth the game straight and hard wins even when he loses. The executive department of the organization is divided into divisions of sports, with a leader for each sport. These officers are elected by the entire group the first of each year. A recording secretary is chosen to compile points. Quoth Miss Skartvedt. For the student who finds neither the time, inclination, nor ability to specialize in sports, intramural competition as advocated by the girls’ athletic association offers an unparalleled opportunity.

Girls' Baseball Basketball and baseball are the leading sports of the girls’ intra-mural sports program. The first girls’ baseball team was organized in 1937. It first challenged the faculty, who turned out to overwhelm the girls, but not discourage them. Near the end of the season, an invitation was extended to St. Louis Park to bring its Parkers here for a friendly game. They accepted, with a resulting victory for the Robbinsdale girls. In view of the fact that the team made such a good showing for its first year of participation, it has again been organized for competition. G. A .A. Board The G. A. A. Board is made up of representatives of each sport, together with the officers and the faculty adviser of this organization. These girls discuss problems, and make out the schedules of activities. Intramural programs are planned, for basketball, baseball, volleyball, kickball. and fieldball. Competition between schools is prohibited by their charter. In the fall of 1937, they accepted an invitation to the All City Girls Athletic Meet on the university campus, sponsored by the university students. The girls also competed in a meet at Carleton and Play Day at St. Louis Park in the spring of 1937. The G. A. A. Board has been instrumental in organizing the various teams for intramural competition. Page 43 1937 FOOTBALL TEAM ( A Sauad) Left to Right— First row: E. Baldwin (Student Manager), J, Nafstad, H.

The 1937 Undefeated Eleven Robbinsdale, coached by Ken Williams and Red Sochacki. closed a perfect season with seven victories, no defeats, and one tie. The tie was incurred with Washington high school of St. Paul, which later won the Twin City title. The record for the season: Robbinsdale 0 Washington (St. Paul) 0 Robbinsdale 14 Wayzata 0 Robbinsdale 19 Boys Vocational 0 Robbinsdale 33 Anoka 6 Robbinsdale 24 Columbia Heights 0 Robbinsdale 26 Chaska 0 Robbinsdale 57 Shakopee 0 Robbinsdale 13 St. Louis Park 0 Robbinsdale scored 186 points to their opponents 6. Howard Nicol was high scorer for the season, having a total of 6 touchdowns. Jim Nafstad was voted the most valuable player for the 1937 season. One of the high spots of the term was the 33 to 6 victory over Anoka, champions of their conference. Of the eleven regulars only two men, Johnny Meyers (1938 captain) and Ray Yates, will return next fall, but a fine B squad will fill in the vacancies. 1937 Football Team ( B Squad) The B squad, under the able direction of Coaches Harold Matson and Jens Dale, played but 4 games during the season. Their record: Robbinsdale............... ...... 0 Washburn................................. 7 Robbinsdale............ ........ 12 Patrick Henry............................ 0 Robbinsdale...................... 6 Marshall .............................. 19 Robbinsdale ..................... 0 North ................................ 12 Outstanding members of the team were: G.

Captains As team captains, a small but competent group of boys have led activities in all branches of athletics. Dick Chase and Don DeSomery were co-captains of the 1937 football squad. Howard Nicol, not pictured, was captain of the 1936 eleven. Jim Nafstad captained basketball through last year, while Gladwin led track in 1937 and also the cagers of the 1937-38 campaign. Alden Hanson served as captain of the first golf team, and was an outstanding member of that group. C. Buckley, captain of the 1938 track team, has been named one of the finest dash men on the squad. With the exception of Buckley, who is a sophomore, all captains are seniors. Boxing When Robbinsdale introduced its first boxing tournament last spring, these boys emerged the champions in their respective classes: Christenson, below 85 pounds, defeated Johnson for the championship, while Roche defeated Hendrickson for the 85 to 95 pound class. Bob Chase defeated Baldwin for the 95-1 15 title, and Boyett defeated Mayne for the 115 to 125 pound event. Hartig outpunched Ruffenach for the 125 to 135 pound championship, and in the heavier classification, McPherson downed DeSomery for the 155-165 pound title. Dick Chase overcame Gladwin for the heavyweight title. One champion. Gordon Holscher. is not shown. He won the 145 to 155 pound division by defeating Peyton Boyett.

Cheerleaders Bob Eardley was elected maestro of the cheering quintet this year. Robin souvenirs were sold by the cheerleaders in order to purchase their purple and gold uniforms. At the district tournament the boys were outstanding in their arrangement and presentation of the yells. They played an important part in inspiring spirit in the athletic squads, student body, and faculty. The unbeatable Joe Roche and Jerry Ruffenach combination of cheer leading was aided by specialized yells by Willy Ackerman and Lloyd Pugh. A trio of girls, consisting of K. Carter, D. Jensen, and G. Lindsay, also assisted with the cheering. Student Managers The student managers of any sport are very important and necessary to the participants. These managers look after the welfare of the teams. Robert Chase and Joe Roche acted as student managers of Robbinsdale’s first football team. Leonard Sandness and Eldo Pint Baldwin were managers of the undefeated eleven of 1937. Joe Roche and Eugene Larson were student managers of the B football team. Don Ruble and Phil Kuch made up the managers staff of the 1937-38 basketball team. Page 46 Front row: B Squad Coach H.

Basketball As the climax of a busy season, local basketeers were hosts to teams of the eighteenth district at a contest early in March. Emerging from the fray creditably wreathed with second honors, the Robins took pride in re-establishing their record for sportsmanship, and gamely acceded top ranking to Hopkins. Fuzz” Fedora, who concluded a brilliant athletic career with the termination of the district meet, was accorded a post on the coaches' mythical all-district team. His outstanding work guarding Hopkins' pride and joy, Bob Teyro, helped to garner him this position. Bill Gladwin and Dick Chase netted places on the all-district second team. A long difficult season was slated for the defending champions of the district by Coaches Sochacki and Mattson. An impressive overtime game which ended in the new sudden death ruling with North on the long end of a 25-23 score was played during the Christmas recess. Home fans felt this game stamped the Robins as a great team in view of North's later triumph as city champions of Minneapolis and runners-up in the state tournament. A gallant five romped to victory over De La Salle, Catholic cage champions, to a 31-27 tune. The team also scored decisive victories over a reformed Chaska quint and Wayzata in the district tourney. During the regular season, the squad won 14 games and lost 7. Dick Chase was high scorer for the season with 193 total points. On an average per game basis, Robbinsdale averaged 30 points to their opponents' 27. Total points scored by Robbinsdale were 735, while their opponents netted 677. Of the ten tournament squad players, five will return next season. They are John Meyer, Bob Chase, Emmett Mayne, Jim Boyett, and George Klemm. A checkup of activities of the B squad reveals that the team won eleven out of nineteen encounters. The team was coached by Mr. Mattson.

Mound Relays, and the district meet, in 1937. Robbinsdale placed fifth in the district meet with 19 points. Bill Gladwin and Don Ruble were the leading point getters in this meet, with 9 and 4' j points respectively. Others who won letters in track were C. Buckley, W. Ackerman, R. Darsow. H. Jessen, H. Fedora. L. Berg, and R. Yates. Prospects for the 1938 track team, under the direction of Coach Harold Matson, were none too bright as there were only five letter-men who returned. They are C. Buckley. W. Ackerman, R. Darsow, H. Jessen, and R. Yates. About 35 boys turned out for track this year. An interest in track is on the up-grade and no doubt Robbinsdale will begin to take its place among the leaders of track in a year or so. The team entered the Metropolitan Track and Field Meet which was held at the Minnesota fieldhouse, April 2 and 9. Other tentative meets had been scheduled with Anoka, Stillwater. Mound relays. Carleton relays, and district meet. Wrestling The first high school wrestling team participated in I I meets including the Metropolitan meet and state meet. Robbinsdale scored I 501 2 P°'nfs to their opponents' I 301 2 points. The team placed third in the Metropolitan meet. Pineur and Rooney won in their divisions. In the state wrestling meet, they placed fifth. Don Rooney captured the state championship in the 95 pound class. For the first year in wrestling competition the season was a very successful one, according to Coach Williams.
