1939 THE nb ROBIN FOREWORD We, the seniors of 1939, are on the air! It is the hope and wish of the staff that this broadcast will he well received. Our school is like a radio: you, the students are the receiving set, the faculty is at the controls, and we are sponsored by the school board. The purpose of an annual is to depict school life so our annual too, is like a broadcasting studio. We hope you enjoy the program. STAFF Advisor: Mr. K. C. Reichert Editor: Kmzabeth Youssi Business Manager: Jeanette Hughes QuU)j ‘ vu OA o l o— ■ -4a xa-CJ Sy jt teJ JX-- -vr) Ll J Av ) iAA -� CXslX C - -P LfC' cSLfc) — (Sbfi- a_ C -v- ---- V vJL •aw Vv4 DEDICATION “We’re on the air!” with the 1939 “Robin.” As you twist your dial to station R.H.S., and tune in to the following pages, perhaps you will wonder why radio was chosen as a theme. We based our book on that idea because Rohhinsdale was one of the first schools in the Northwest to have a broadcasting system; and because radio is a fitting representation of progress—progress in educational methods—in the scope of educational subjects—in educational equipment. Accordingly, we wish to dedicate our book to those teachers of our school who have seen this transition from the old to the new—from yesterday’s school to today’s. They have not only seen the change, but have helped to make it. They have grown, even as radio has grown from the old-fashioned crystal sets to a modern, efficient mechanism, with the school. We dedicate our annual to the following: E. J. Cooper M. M. Mielke S. E. Ainsworth P. E. Johnson Emily Kotter Esther Loe Mabel Patterson Bess Sinnott Thekla Thote Ken Williams BOARD OF EDUCATION E.

STUDENT COUNCIL Through the student council the administration is brought to a closer understanding of the students and their problems. I bis year the student council sent five members to the convention at Marshall High School. The student council aided in the Homecoming celebration and the Christmas decoration. The officers are: president, John Meyer; vice president, Allan Wilson; secretary, Grace Gagne, and treasurer. Boh Rosenwald. One student is elected from each home room to the council and the class officers are also members. There are a total of 25 in the council this year. Mr. Cooper advises the group. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The National Honor Society is composed of thirty-five members, twenty-two of which were admitted this year. Kntrance to the society is based on Scholarship. Leadership, Character and Service. Scholarship is judged by the candidate's rank in his class; Character by a vote of teachers who know the candidate; Service according to points earned for participation in activities; and Leadership by a vote of a group of students—members of the Honor Society for seniors, and the eligible group for juniors. The Robbinsdale chapter was founded in 1937 with twelve charter members. To date fifty students have been inducted into the society. This year a ritual was worked out for the initiation service which rook place at an all school assembly. The society has also sponsored a purpose assembly and engaged in several social activities. Mr. E. C. Reichert is the advisor of the group. Page 26 GIRLS' CLUB The purpose of the Girls’ Club is to create a greater feeling of friendliness among the girls; to develop character, leadership, and personality; to render service; and to promote a high standard of ideals for themselves and the school. Misses Valborg, Skartvedt and Alice Skoglund are the advisors of the club. They are assisted by Misses Inga Johnson, Mary Howell, and Alice Gcarty. Officers for 1938 were Betty Moore, president; Margery Batson, vice-president; and Geraldine Kranz, secretary and treasurer. The 1939 officers are Margaret Wincek, president; Pat Barrett, vice-president; and Geraldine Kranz, secretary and treasurer. The club sponsors hiking, badminton, archery, golf, tennis, and other athletic activities. Hack row: W. Miner, R. Rosen Wald, J. Levine. Mr. Ainsworth. J. Levine. A. Jonc . K. Larson. Second row: H.

It has as its purpose the increase of intelligent interest in, and respect for, the customs and ideals of the French people. The club accomplishes this by programs consisting of movies, slides, reports by students, and talks given by people who have travelled in France. Practice in speaking and understanding the French language is also afforded at meetings by dramatizations and the playing of French games. The French Club is directed by Miss Tuve. The officers this year are Tom Roddy, president; Kenneth Malmborg, vice-president; Beverly Stelzer, secretary-treasurer. GERMAN CLUB Radio has long been considered one of the important peace promoters for, by sponsoring Travel Talks and programs such as “Americans All—Immigrants All,” it has helped to establish a better international understanding and a feeling of good will among the nations of the world. Robbinsdale’s German Club is like radio in this one respect—it, too, is trying to establish better relations with a foreign nation; for its purpose is to develop an interest and understanding in the cultural background of the German language. Singing German songs, eating German foods, playing German games, and corresponding with German students are the ways in which the club has tried to fulfill its purpose. Three movies on life in Germany, a travel talk by Miss Katter, who visited Germany last year, and pictures of Germany have played an important part on the program of the club this year. Miss Celia Thoma is the originator and supervisor of the group. Verna Anderson was elected president of the Deutchers this year with Dave Hartig as the vice-president, and Juanita Vos serving as the secretary-treasurer. Page 28 Standing: J. Lane. M. Works. D.

ROBIN At the beginning of the school year it was decided that the seniors could not have an annual unless they guaranteed to undertake and finance it themselves. The seniors held a class meeting, and with a practically unanimous vote decided to undertake the yearbook. Accordingly Mr. Reichert agreed to supervise the project and selected a staff from those who had signed up as willing to work on the book. Jeanette Hughes was chosen as business manager, and Klizabeth Youssi as editor. After much discussion and violent sifting of ideas Radio was chosen as a suitable theme and the staff went to work. Jack Levine, Tom Roddy and Katherine Cooper solicited advertising from all the merchants in and out of town to help balance the budget. Dorothy Arnold, as the assistant editor, helped with layouts and writing. Ruby Haugen and Keith Havens drew and planned division pages, the cover and special features. The snapshots were taken by Audrey Bork and Bob Bechler. Mary Kahle and Mary Jane Williams had the difficult job of getting the seniors to take pictures and of tagging the pictures after they were taken. Page 29 Standing: R. KnuUon. F. Decker. P. Harris.

Statistics have revealed that the National Scholastic Press Association has given the “Robin’s Tale,” the official newspaper of Robbinsdale High School, a rating of “excellent.” The Editor-in-Chief of the “Robin’s Pale” is Betty Schoff, who has held the position for two years. Her special job is to fill the editorial page and to generally supervise the paper. The Associate Editor, Geraldine Hanson, is the official news gatherer for she must see that the front page is filled. The sports of Robbinsdale get their publicity through the efforts of Clifford St. Cyr; and the fourth page was edited by La Vern Fall. Most of the special cuts and art for the paper are made by Keith Havens, the art editor; and the exchanging of papers with other schools is accomplished by Violet Ayshford, the exchange editor. Four typists, fourteen special reporters, and the journalism class all help in assembling the paper. The “Tale” is supervised by Miss Anna Rice. The business staff of the “ I ale” is headed by Harry St. Cyr, the business manager, who has supervised candy sales and dances in an effort to make the books balance this year, and who has met with a measure of success. Katherine Cooper, the advertising manager, has scoured the cities for advertisements with the assistance of Margaret Wincek. Russell Knutson sees that the subscribers get their copies in due order as befits the circulation manager. Pag? JO Standinp: F. Decker, R. Roscnwnld. N. Cooper, G. Stoffel, K. Haven , T. Roddy.

E. Johnson. The executive officers of the group arc: Ben Miller, Lester Buchholtz, John Hartig and Vernon Spurzem. The club is a member of the N.R.A.

BAND Fifty-five ardent horn blowers and drum beaters make up Robbinsdales first band this year. Under the direction of Mr. Orville B. Aftreth our band rivals any of those that toot their instruments on coast to coast hook ups, for they have proved themselves to be versatile players. Their activities this year have included providing the music for football and basketball games; assembly programs; a clinic and concert with the Minnesota Symphonic band; a political rally; P.T.A. Programs; the Spring Musical; and a trip to Faribault. The contest piece which they played at the district music contest was “ I he Jolly Robbers by F. von Suppe. They were the only band in their division to receive an “A rating. 'Phis year a carnival was sponsored by the band mothers to raise money for new uniforms, so the close of the school year finds Robbinsdale’s band decked out in blue and gold military suits. Dick Armstrong is the president of the band, Donald Forrey the vice-president, Buddy Oleston the secretary, and Robert Sin-nock the treasurer. Page 54 A CAPPELLA CHOIR If a stranger would enter our school in the morning, the first thing he would he greeted by is music, for the A Cappella Choir meets every first period in room 103, and virtually fills the air and the halls with song. Phis organization was begun in 1934, and now has a membership of 64 voices. Miss Martha Hoe has directed the choir in many programs this year, prominent among which are: the Christmas Pageant, a broadcast over W.T.C.N., a spring concert, P.T.A. Program, Baccalaureate, Mound Festival and a Thanksgiving assembly program. In the district music contest which was held at Robbinsdale this year, the choir sang the selection “Bless the Lord” by Michail I. Ivanoff. They received an “A” rating. Being a member of the choir is not all work, however, for the songsters have social activities as well. The annual sleigh ride party is the highlight of the year in this field. Carl Nordgren was the president of the choir, and Margaret Dale the vice-president until January when another election was held. Darrell Murphev replaced Carl and Pat Barrett was elected vice-president. GIRLS' GLEE CLUB Miss Martha Boe is the director of the Girls' Glee Club which meets every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday after school. The club has a membership of thirty girls who are divided into three divisions: the soprano, second soprano, and alto. In the Music Contest which was held in Robbinsdale, the Glee Club sang the “Prayer from Haensel and Gretel” by Fngelbert Humperdinck and received an “A rating. They have also appeared in the Christmas Pageant, a Thanksgiving Assembly, the Spring Concert, and on a P. T.A. program. The president of the club is Ruby Haugen, the vice-president is La Verne Fall, and the secretary-treasurer is Pat Harris. Hark: H. Krueger, M. Sandborn, C. Nordgren. B. Jensen. D. Faber, K. Sahly. O.

GIRLS' SEXTETTE Two broadcasts over W.T.C.N., entrance in the music contest, singing at the spring concert, at Baccalaureate and graduation, the boys’ football banquet, for the Woman's Club, at the Congregational church on Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve, at the Oak Grove Parents and Teachers association, and at various school assemblies has been the busy schedule of the Girls’ Sextette this year. Under the direction of Miss Martha Boe they have practised classical and semi-classical music almost every morning since the group was organized. This is the first year that Robbinsdale has had a Girls’ Sextette. The six girls who make up the musical group are: Pat Harris and Pat Barrett, who sing first soprano; Betty Matthews and Catherine Sahly, the second sopranos; and Ruby Haugen and Elizabeth Youssi, who are the altos. BOYS' QUARTETTE Robbinsdale’s Boys’ Quartette is not like the ordinary barber shop group, for they are both harmonious and cooperative, and they have ably represented our high school in social, church and school affairs ever since they were organized two years ago. With Jack Levine as accompanist and Miss Katter as the director and coach, the boys have sung whenever and wherever requested: Armistice programs, graduations, music festivals—all have made use of their talents. The four boys in the quartette are Roger Gray, Torn Roddy, Arthur Jones, and Glenn Stoffel. Page 36 THESPIAN SOCIETY Radio’s famous theatres of the air have nothing on station R.H.S. for our Thespian Society has proven itself to be quite as versatile as the “Little Theatre off l imes Square” and Orson Welles’ famous group. A total of sixteen short plays have been presented by the society this year; and included among them were two radio plays. Glenn Stoffel was president of the society, Joe Roche the vice-president and Margaret Dale the secretary-treasurer until January when a re-election was held. The present officers are: Juanita Vos, president; Boh Roscnwald, vice-president; and Eileen Murphy, secretary. To gain entrance to the society one must have appeared in either three minor roles, or had one lead in a play or operetta. Participation in declamation, service on the light crew, stage crew, and property and make-up committees also counts. BEGINNING DRAMATIC CLUB The Beginning Dramatic Club is the “training ground for entrance into the Thespian Society. It is composed of students in the tenth and eleventh grades who are interested in dramatics, and meets every Friday to study plays, the principles of good acting, make-up, and everything associated with the stage. The club is divided into two divisions: The Purple Masquers which is headed by Keith Havens, Phyllis Johnson, and Pat Barrett; and the Gold Masquers whose officers are Phyllis Irwin.

Page DECLAMATION Keith Havens brought Robbinsdale first place in the oratorical division of the District Declamation Contest this year. His selection “Bloody Altars was a plea for peace by a minister who had seen the world war. Keith also placed third in the Regional contest. One hundred twelve students registered for declam and 68 were given selections. There are no special requirements for entering and Miss Sin-nott, who is in charge of declamation, recommends it to all who wish to develop confidence and poise in speaking before groups, classes, and at programs. In the all school contest Keith Havens won first in the oratorical division and Wesley Hoar was second with the selection “Human Values. Pat Barrett won first place in the dramatic division with “The Brink of Silence,” a drama that emphasized what the complete silence of the far north does to men. Ruby Haugen who gave “Death on Wings,” was tied for second place with Geraldine Kranz whose selection was “Bishop’s Candlesticks.” Jeanette Hughes copped top honors in the humorous division with her depiction of the last day of school in a country schoolhouse entitled “One Big Happy Family. Wallace Jorgenson was second with “Spelling Down the Master.” Many of the Robbinsdale students participated in declamation festivals at West and Roosevelt, Keith Havens and Ogden Wiklund (“Afraid of the Dark”) captured all “excellent ratings at both schools. MISS SINNOTT Miss Bess Sinnott, who is the dramatic director and coach of declamation, has won renown for Robbinsdale in the past two years. Under her direction the Thespian troupe received second prize of S25.IX) for a picture of the play “Remember the Day” in a contest sponsored by the “High School Thespian,” the official Thespian magazine. “Wings of the Morning, last year’s senior play, received mention in the same magazine, and honorable mention was given to Miss Sinnott for a membership drive. Pictures from “Young Lincoln” which was presented by the group were used as advertisements of the play by the publishing company. Under Miss Sinnott's coaching Keith Havens won first place in the oratorical division of the Sub-District and District Declamation contest. Page 38 Standing: R. Gray. M. Radtke. A. Lindquist. O.

JUNIOR CLASS PLAY Gleaming eyes in the dark, angry snarls of an enraged beast, the howl of the wind and the rumble of thunder, blue flashes of lightning, screams—thrills—No, this isn't “Gangbusters,” “Lights Out” or any of the other radio thrillers; it is a description of the junior class play, “The Phantom Tiger” which was presented November fourth. Headed by Frances Katsules and Ogden Wiklund the cast played to a good crowd, and rendered a splendid version of Robert St. Clair's play. The other members of the cast were: Maxine Begin, who played Aunt Sophia, a sharp spoken relative with a bad case of nerves and a set of non-dependable false teeth; Forest Decker, the majesty of the law who fainted at the sight of blood; Marlys Radtke, a fast-talking, gum-chewing, energetic shop girl; Roger Gray who played Oswald Kerins, an entomologist who owned a pet bat; Torn Rother had the role of Arthur Hale, an athletic young fellow who met an inglorious end; his wife, Evelyn Hale, was played by Audrey Lindquist; Mary Kuch, Dick Stinchfield, Lucille Engelbrctson, and Wallace Miner completed the cast. The play was directed by Miss Bess Sinnott and was given to raise money for the junior-senior prom. SENIOR CLASS PLAY “Headed for Eden” was presented by the seniors May 12. The cast included: Jack Levine, Elizabeth Youssi, Ruby Haugen, Rita Potter, Shirley O’Laughlin, Eileen Murphy, Harry St. Cyr, Arthur Jones, Grace Gagne, Robert Murray, Audrey Bork, Ward Gronfield, Jack Scott, and Jeanette Hughes. Miss Sinnott directed the play. Page 39 CHRISTMAS PAGEANT Under the direction of Miss Boe, Miss Sinnott, and the grade teachers the Christmas pageant, “A Star in the Night was presented December 20; the pageant was a musical with the A Cappella choir, Glee Club, Orchestra, Girls’ Sextette and Primary and Intermediate choral groups supplying the music. The story was built around a scene in a home on Christmas Eve. Betty Jessen as the mother told her four children the story of the birth of Christ, and, as she related, the tale unfolded in pageant form, on the stage. Character parts were taken by: Wesley Hoar, led Turgeon, and Keith Havens the three shepherds; Leslie Swan, John Hartig, and Gerald Ward, as three wise men; and Ward Gronfield in the part of David. STAGE CREW The stage crew is the backbone of most of the entertainment at school. It is around them that the operettas, plays, declamation contests, speeches, etc. are planned. They hoist the scenery, manage the lights, set stages and guard the properties. They have to appear at all dress rehearsals, and they spend many long hours afterward clearing up the debris, and putting the scenery away. The members of the stage crew are: Robert Rosenwald, Gerald Warde, Alan Wilson, Wallace Miner. Glenn Stoffcl who graduated in January was also a member. Whether the performance is a success or a failure they must do the same amount of work. Wnrde, W. Miner. A. WlUon, Ko cnwal l, T. Turgeon. I). Duepner. J. Hnrtijr. Page 40 ATHLETICS FOOTBALL The varsity record of three wins, four losses and one tie this season was quite a let down from the unblemished record of the previous year. However, the fact that three of our opponents: Faribault, Blake and Willmar finished their schedules undefeated plus the necessity of developing green material indicates that the Robins had a fair season.

Jim Boyett, the captain, was chosen as winner of the sportsmanship award. John Meyer was chosen center of the second all-district team as well as center on the all-conference squad. Meyer was the high point man of the team and was chosen as its most valuable player.

Water Boy! But a student manager has many more duties than carrying water and towels to a perspiring football team. Just ask Wes Ostlund who undertook the job this year. Included in his list of duties were: keeping check of equipment, and seeing that all necessary pieces are on the field before practice starts, and, after practice; seeing to it that the field is marked according to rules and regulations and taking care of equipment on trips. CHEERLEADERS SSSSSSSS BOOM! AH! ROBINS!! And behind or rather in front of every lively yell that issues from the throats of Robbinsdalc students we find our cheerleaders. Handsprings — summersaults—back bends—all are included in the routine of Katherine Carter and Company, and every contortion is guaranteed to raise the roof of even a respectable school house and to turn dignified seniors into the Howling Hundreds.
