To you, Mr. Cooper, and to you, Mr. Mielke, we dedicate this book, with full recognition, that youth enjoying a democracy expects, accepts, and respects good leadership. This you have given, by encouraging us to put emphasis on a thorough mastery of fundamental subjects- physical.training-special studies-and other activities-so that we will be enabled to serve more usefully both in the war effort directly and indirectly in other related pursuits.

We,ve walked to our school dances, donated our scrap metal and silk stockings, saved every extra cent for defense stamps, made an effort to keep physically fit, and have given some of our boys to the armed services. VVelve changed from that day three years ago when we came to school fun-loving, carefree sophomores. Our only worry then was whether dad would let us have the car for the Cotton Ball or whether we could stretch our money for a new outfit for the Sweater Hop. We turned all our class duties over to Phyliss Dallman, president; Themeo Ellis, vice-presi- dent; and Bill Kranz, secretary-treasurer. During our junior year the full impact of war burst upon us. We were deeply affected by it as we saw our brothers and friends go 03 to join the services but as yet we werenlt conscious of the part we were to play in it. We had fun at homecoming and we were thrilled at the prospect of our first prom when Themeo Ellis as president, Einer Lindquist as vice-president, once Ostlund as secretary, and Don Emmans as treasurer led the grand march. It was through the course of our senior year that we began to realize that we as the future soldiers and citizens of America must play a definite part in the war. Our first gesture was electing Bill OlReilly, president; Twoie Condon, vice-president; Mary Anne Dueval, seeretary-treasurer, who immediately took action on the formation of a Victory Corps. Through this organization we realized the necessity of gaining a thorough mastery of fundamental subjectsM-physical training, special studies and other activities. These have taught us to serve more usefully after graduation, both in the war effort directly and in the peace after the war. SENIORS OF 1943 i, W , ., E3: . v. , .

REPRESENTATIVE I UNIORS Every American wants most of all to know where and how and when he can best put his shoulder to the wheel. Certainly every high school student wants to know where and how and when his abilities can best be put to use in the war effort. This is the general aim of the Victory Corps which was launched just this year by our President. Its machinery is successfully under way. Because Victory Corps was inaugurated after class pro grams had been in effect for some time, the seniors have not been able to play as extensive a part in the Victory Corps as the juniors have and will. Early in the year, the juniors signed up in the English classes for the branch of service which their talents, studies, and activities made them best fitted. All were eligible for general membership. In order to join the specialized branches juniors discovered that they would have to alter their programs in such a way as to assure credits in technical courses-especially science and mathe- matics. In addition to this they are expected to fulfill requirements in physical fitness and par- ticipate in various community and production services.

Reichert. Bill Beach, Art Reichert Charlotte Howe JUNIORS The Junior Class has progressed in the past year. Through their ready participation in all school and extra-curricular activities, they have made themselves known to their schoolmates. Heading the class are Bill Beach as President, Art Reichert as Vice-President, and Charlotte Howe as Secretary-Treasurer. The juniors are not without scholastic ability, for ten of the members of their class wear the coveted National Honor Society pin. They are well represented in athletics for juniors participated in football, basketball, baseball, wres- tling and track. The efforts of the Junior Class in their play, TiSky Roadf, were enjoyed by all. Com- bining their talents with an excellent supporting cast were Renee Frees and Bill Beach. Journalism has not been neglected by the juniors either. There are twenty-two members on the paper-staff and two on TTThe Robinh staff. Musical ability was made evident by their particia pation in band, orchestra, and choir. Florence Richtefs talent is, of course, outstanding. There are juniors in Thespians, Quill and Scroll, and Auditorium Club. In fact, there are juniors in every activity. This class has been a capable class. From their past record it seems evident that they are ready to take over next year. .. A r-u- '12 A A V i : E. S 2 V Shop, Row 1-0. Schutte, W. E. Olson, B. Brown, Mr. Lundman, C. Ducvcl D.

When you hear strains of a Strauss waltz or the prelude to the third act of Wagneris Lohen- grin coming from the community room on Tuesday mornings it means the orchestra is holding its weekly rehearsal. There are thirty-two members in the orchestra this year. The stringed instruments are played by both junior and senior high school students. Woodwind and brass are supplied by the outstanding members of the high school band. Besides playing for club installations and between acts of plays, the orchestra plays for local organizations and churches. They are available throughout the entire school year. The brass sextet and clarinet quartet are the most active during the Christmas season, when they perform at parties and play carols in the halls. Since there was no music contest this year because of the war, these organizations were free to devote all of their time to providing morale building entertainment. ORCHESTRA, Row I--L. Townsend, P.

We will long remember their rendition of TTIingle Bells,, at the Christ- mas Concert. The double quar- tet is composed of Joe Blonigen, Bud Thorson, Roger Lillehei, Waldo Pierson, Ray Rudrud, Frank Lindvall, Clarence Lind- vall, and Duke McVeigh. DOUBLE TRIO Patriotic, semi - classical, and popular songs have all been de- lightfully rendered by the girls double trio. The talents of the six girls have been greatly in de- mand for assemblies, dances and banquets. The double trio is composed of Beatrice Ahlers, Jacquelyn Nathe, Phyllis Dall- man, Elevia Youssi, Renee Frees and Marilyn Osborne. A'CAPPELLA Under the directorship of Mrs. Muriel Matheson the AiCappella choir with a membership of forty-two students participated in many musical affairs throughout the past school year. In a serious mood they presented a Christmas program of the traditional carols and familiar yuletide songs, and assisted at the tiBond Concertn by singing patriotic numbers. Then changing spirit, they became gypsies and vacationers in their operetta, iiWhen the Moon Rises. Exchanging their dignified choir robes fOr grotesque creations of the imagination, members of the AiCappella and their guests attended the Mascappela, which has become an annual affair and is the choifs outstanding social event of the year.

In both the junior high and the senior high, members for the council are chosen by a majority vote in their respective home rooms. There are 12 members in the junior high council and each member chooses for a two week period a student ocher to assist in the governing of the balls. The foremost project of the senior high student council was a war bond and stamp drive. They also took charge of the lunch room to see that it was kept clean and that perfect conduct reigned. More freedom was given this year to the councils. This brought us a step closer to a much desired student self government. a e f v v5 ; Row 1-P. Chase, F. Warde, L. Engel. Miss Johnson, B. Johnston.

Another football season is over and the equipment is hanging idle in the locker room. The boys fought through a tough schedule to come out runner-up in the conference, second only to the Hopkins gridders. A record of 6 wins, 2 losses, and I tie represents the end of a hard fought season. Captain Ioe Elsen helped defeat Stillwater in the first non-conference battlee scoring all of the localts twenty points, the final score reading 20-0. Well, it looks like they took that one- f 4-, -3: least Bud Sauer seems to Wifk so.

With only five points separating the bucket squad from a first place tie, the Robins five moved onto the second rung of the conference ladder with Hopkins again to the fore. Captain Bill Kranz led the local bucketeers to their first victory taking 3U High 41-20. Excelsior also fell before the home Eve and then came the acid test-leading Hopkins 2346 at the half and then Hopkins rolled to win by a score of 37 to 30. Park upset Hopkins and made it hot for the Robins. Gladwin pulled the boys through with his 16 points to win 40-32. And thcn-another chance at the Maetzoldmen-a chance for a title tie.

Rymanowski and Kranz were elected to the all-conference team. These top Five played heads-up ball throughout the season and gave titleholder Hopkins quite a run for their money-they are: Captain Bill Kranz, Art Reichert, John Gladwin, Ioe Elsen, and iiBaldyi, Ryman- owski. Itis Art Reichert up for a jump ball with lanky Al Nelson ready to snare it for a basket try. Sure-shot Elsen sends one toward the basket with Reichert getting ready to recover in case of a miss. Heading into the Regional tournament for the first time in six years, Coach Sochackits quint defeated dark- horse Willmar 40-24 in a fast and furious tilt. The finals of the Regional found the Robins pitted against the once-beaten Twin City Champs, Edison. It was anybodyts game until the last quarter, with the half-tirne score reading 14-14. Lou Lopatats boys showed a new spirit in the final quarter, however, Which proved too much for the Sochackimen and the Robins bowed out as a state-title possibility 33-21. District and Regional Basketball The District Tournament held at Hopkins provided many surprises. Eden Prairie defeated Wayzata by one pomt to upset the .apple cart and later, after the Robins had run through the Prairieites and favored Hopkins had done away Wlth upset-bound Mound, the biggest upset of all-the Robins snatched the District title from under the Maetzold-menk noses-the final tally reading Robin 37, Hopkins 33. Elsen held Hopkins, star, S oglund, to a four point total. HOCKEY The Robin icemen, with bad weather and the lack of sufficient reserves, ter- minated the 1943 hockey season with a .000 record, having a three game, three loss record. Blake was the first to prove the locals undoing with a 4-0 defeat and a 3-2 win over the locals later. Breck also played havoc with the boys with a hnal 16-0 tally spelling Finis to the local season. Bad ice along with bad weather kept the boys in trouble throughout the en- tire season, with few practices possible. Mr. Klatt succeeded Vern Lennartsen as the blademenis mentor, and the short season handicapped him in his coach ing efforts. this being his first hockey experience. Veterans Clarence Lindvall, Calvin A1- quist and Richard Abendroth kept the team spirit alive out there while goalie Bill Kaiser pulled the bovs out of some tight ones, stopping a lot of those goal- bound pueks. BOXING Local pugilists displayed their talents in our seventh annual boxing tourna- ment with the usual 17 survivors top- ping the heap as champs. Graduation left a few of the ranks open for new crowned heads but most championship material returned from the ,42 cam- paign to defend successfully their titles. With black eyes and bloody noses being liberally passed around. every match was a battle to the finish with no one breezing through, the tourney. Next yeafs ranks will be seriously de- preciated by the armed services and graduation and a lot of crowns. wait to adorn the heads of new pro-material.

Row 4-Mr. Coach Gustav Wagner, taking up his new job as local wrestling mentor, built up quite a record, for his boys came through this years schedule with but two blemishes on their record. Ten wins and one loss comprised the boys dual meet record with Mound pulling a sur- prise on the Wagnerites. The outcome was different, however, in the boys, second en, counter with the Mound grapplers, for they worked up an eight point win. The Moundites upset the locals again in the District tourney when they topped the boys 49-47- A highly successful season closed as the home boys took over the state title with very little trouble. Five Robins emerged from this melee as State wrestling champions: George Siga- foos, Dick Pierson, Ray Freund, and Ierry Westlund gained these championship posiv tions, with Sigafoos, Pierson and Westlund sporting unblemished records for the season. Antiy Windsberger and Gil Roles battled their way to the state Finals only to be de- feated in overtime matchese-second in state. Revenge was the keynote in the Regional meet at Litchfield as the Wagnermen copped this title with no stiff competition. Mound trailed 51-35 in this battle with Litchfield at third with 23 points. Eight Robin matmen fought their way into State Tournament elig- ibility garnering five first place positions and three seconds.

Coach Ernest Klatt took over liRedl, Sochackiis job as the 1943 season came into promi- nence. Vern Gagne succeeded pitcher Clyde Bencher at the mound to hurl the boys out of some tough situations. The uman behind the maskl' did a swell job behind the plate, snaring those foul flies and stopping many runs. A tightly-knit outfield kept all opposition from filling up those bases and many a hit that looked like a homer turned out to be just another out. The boys worked out good on the offensive, too, batting in many runs and keep- ing the opponents, outfield on the run. TRACK With Mr. Nerdahl as the boys new mentor, the 1943 cinder squad embarked on another season with an excellent record of preceding years to live hp to-and they did. This is Mr. Nerdahlls first year as track men- tor, Herdean Bjerke, last year,s coach, having been Hselected as a likely candidate for the armed services? Mr. Nerdahl is a sports- loving athlete, a jack-of-all-sports-and with his knowledge and love for sports instilled in his men, they drove forward for a very suc- cessful season. llBusterl, Harris, Norm Engstrom and Doug Gordon helped carry the purple and gold through the tough going with Don Gabriel- son, Ron Bolier, and llSwedeh Carlson round- ing out the team.
