Rabin CO-EDITORS . . . LOIS BEAUCHAINE AND JOANN COOPER ROBBINSDALE HIGH SCHOOL ROBBINSDALE, MINNESOTA ''Jive Gaunt 11 111 Hear Ye! We, the graduating class of 1946, present ourselves for trial. Upon unfolding the following pages, and glancing into the courtroom, your eyes will first rest upon our judges. As they sound the gavel for order, we come to attention before our superintendent and principal. Looking into the familiar faces, we see a sympathetic, yet firm manner, which commands our respect. Close at hand, the jurors, who have faithfully taught and guided us through three years, wait to pronounce the sentence. Excitedly, we look further. Lined up before the witness stand are more familiar faces, which confuse us with their differing voices, opinions, and ideas. But they are no different from sophomores and juniors of other years, and their sight brings many eventful memories to mind. As the senior class steps to the defendants' stand, high school days pass in review before our eyes. The to- morrows of those days are gone now, but as we face our new lives, we take those yesterdays with us in our hearts and minds. That is why we, as defendants, take our stand thoughtfully; waiting for the decision of the court. Before the decision can be made, the judges must see the evidence, so we present to them our school activities. The witnesses and defendants work together in this section, to exhibit our daily, well-balanced routine. As your eyes meet snatches of each of the numerous activities, proof is furnished that the seniors are ambitious and industrious. The once tense courtroom relaxes as the verdict is pictured in the last section of this book. We, the class of 1946, sincerely hope the courtroom is as you wish it, and as we step out over the threshold, with diplomas in hand, the voices in our memories will speak forever of the days spent within. Gome to OnAen. Hear Ye! Section I JUDGES AND JURORS Close at hand, the jurors, who have faithfully taught and guided us through three years, wait to pronounce the sentence. Section II WITNESSES Lined up before the witness stand are more familiar faces, who confuse us with their differing voices, ideas, and opinions. Section III DEFENDANTS That is why we, as defendants, take our stand thoughtfully; waiting for the decision of the court. Section IV EVIDENCE The witnesses and defendants work together in this section to exhibit our daily, well-balanced routine. Section V VERDICT The once tense courtroom relaxes as the verdict is pictured casually in the last section of this book. THROUGH THESE PORTALS . . . we pass, the class of '46, for the last time. For some of us it means finding our place in the world of business. For a few more it means entering college. Whatever it is that we plan to do, we will have to find something to fill the void left from leaving high school. School for us was a job and social life all in one. It was our business to have a good time. School was the place and the time to do both. Years from now we will probably be paging through this yearbook and trying to imagine how our friends are getting along. Our school is still young. Its graduates have not yet had time to make names for themselves. Perhaps one of our number will become a great leader in government, economics, or literature. Maybe one of your friends will be this leader. Maybe this leader will be you. While attending school you have been judged by the faculty members on the basis of your habits, good or bad. These have been our formative years. We have formed our mode of living while attending school. How we have acted, succeeded, and failed has all been observed by our teachers and principals. Unless strong will power is exerted by us to change them, these habits will be ours for the rest of our lives. Whatever we have gotten out of school has been up to us. No person could make us learn or enjoy ourselves while doing it. No matter how much we blame our teachers for our failures and mistakes, that old axiom still stands, We got out of it what we put into it. Most of us are leaving with a touch of regret. Others say that they are glad to go. But they will soon learn that they have closed the door on a phase of life that can never be brought back, adolescence. A part of life when our fondest ambition was to be considered witty and clever. It was in high school that the opposite sex became suddenly apparent. We became conscious of the fact that we are individuals and that no two of us are alike. Ahead of us is a new life. Striving and hard work are in store for us, but the reward of success and security is too much to pass up. Yes, through these portals we, the class of '46, pass for the last time into the portals of a new life. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★★★★★ In iHrmnrtam To the boys of Robbinsdale High School who gave their lives in defense of their country, this book is reverently dedicated.

COOPER Mr. Cooper is the superintendent, and thus the Chief Justice, of Robbinsdale High School. By his wise counsel, and just rulings, he has won the respect and admiration of all the students (innocent and otherwise) who have taken the stand. Chief Justice Cooper has charge of both the Senior High Court and the Junior High (or Juvenile) Court. We can all be sure that just as long as Mr. Cooper rules, every appeal will be considered, and the school's record will continue to be kept “clean . By These We Are Judged MR. M. M. MIELKE Mr. Mielke, our principal, keeps the senior high students in line. He is always ready with pertinent and timely advice. His job is to keep everyone happy (yes, even you!). When jurisdiction is wanted or permission to be obtained, Mr. Mielke is the one to see. He is always willing to listen to your testimony and to weigh each side of the question before rendering a just decision in true judicial style. Mr. Mielke is National Honor Society adviser. These Jurors Stern and True Miss Sinnott and Miss Setterberg together have passed judgment on all the dramatic crimes of the year, and without their help some of them probably would have been criminal. Miss Sinnott, aside from teaching her junior English classes, is in charge of Thespians, Masquers, and the junior and senior class plays. Miss Setterberg, although a newcomer this year, has very successfully pulled the seniors through their fourth year of English, and devoted a great deal of her time to supervising the declamation contest. Miss Setterberg was formerly a teacher at Windom, Minnesota. Throughout the year she has proved herself an efficient, wise, and unprejudiced juror. Ah, dear English class! How we have loved you! And, possibly excluding some grammar lessons, spelling, and writing of themes, we have enjoyed it. We all have thrilled to Silas Marner , Thornton Wilder's Our Town , and Macbeth , each in turn. That multitude of five-minute talks as juniors; how we conquered our shyness (there are students in this school that are shy) and told all. We learned how to talk, and as polished seniors we recited poetry and gave convincing scenes from Macbeth! Along with learning why ain't ain't correct, we acquired a poise in public speaking that will hold us in good stead for years to come. Miss Ahles and Miss Snabbi are the jurors that start the sophomores on their long road through senior high English. Miss Snabbi is one of the many new teachers this year, but already has proved her worth. She has guided her classes while they studied and learned, and now they are ready to become juniors. They know they are qualified for the task. Besides being associated with the sophomore class, Miss Ahles also has become known and liked by the senior class through her work as adviser for the annual. Her ambition is to help us produce an annual that will achieve a high rating. Mist Bess Sinnott. Misa Josephine Setterberg English class Miss Mary Ahles. Miss Grace Snabbi 9 FACULTY Mr. Nerdahl and Mr. Hagemeister are trying to turn the tables on their students. It is usually the students who are trying to blow up the teachers. These jurors consider the technical side of the evidence, being proficient in both chemistry and physics. Mr. Hagemeister teaches both chemistry classes and physics classes. In his spare time he delights in describing intricate plans for destroying the school; then explaining why they wouldn't work. Mr. Nerdahl teaches both chemistry and mathematics classes. When he is not on jury duty he works at improving our football team. He is a busy man! It is through these portals that gruesome stories, and even more gruesome smells drift out into the halls. But from these shuddering, choking students will come our future doctors, nurses, and scientists. Perhaps this is what carries our teachers through, especially in science classes. Having a lot of fiendish students playing around with all the necessary ingredients for nitroglycerin is not exactly a restful situation, but perhaps Mr. Hagemeister is looking forward to the day he can announce that his second hour physics class has discovered the counter-weapon for the atomic bomb! But we've all lived through another year, with nothing but a few pounds lost. Miss Anderson and Miss Nutting teach two sciences to the students of Robbinsdale High School; from Miss Anderson we learn mathematics, and from Miss Nutting we learn biology. Both of them are new teachers this year, but they have already made themselves essential to school activities, and have made many a student grateful by their helpful suggestions. Miss Nutting is one of the advisers of the Auditorium Club (in charge of auditorium programs) and Miss Anderson is the adviser of the Pep Club (in charge of pep fests). You can see they are likely to be kept just as busy after jury duty as while court is in session! Mr. Irvin Nerdahl Biology class Miss Alice Anderson. Miss Doris Nutting. FACULTY Mr. Alden, Mr. Ward, and Mr. Hawk are the men on our jury to turn to for our case history. For information about our own offenses, ask Mr. Hawk, personnel adviser. He teaches social studies, and gives advice to all students who ask for it. He helped the seniors a great deal in deciding which college to attend. Mr. Alden goes into more ancient crimes, and teaches World History to the sophomores. He also is busy as a coach for the athletic he-men of Rob-binsdale High. Mr. Ward returned from the wars this year to tell his junior history classes all about it. He also coached the wrestlers and put them through their paces. Here you see pictured a history class, one of the many where we toiled and slaved under the watchful eyes of our instructors. In our sophomore year we delved into the deep, deep, deep, dark history of the world from the cave man on through today. In our junior year we went into our own deep dark history, from 1492 (the year of Columbus' discovery, you know. You do know, don't you?) up to the present day. Then we are ready in our senior year to study the complex wonders of social studies. We learn how to deal with the future problems of economics in our country. These two women jurors, Miss Michelson and Miss Forchas, share the same trial over students who ask, Why do we have to study this? Miss Michelson tries to answer seniors who ask this question in their social studies classes, while Miss Forchas is teaching American History to some struggling juniors. However they may struggle, Miss Forchas manages to graduate students who know their American History, and the answer to Why do we have to study this? Miss Michelson also serves as an adviser of the Girls' Club. She and Mr. Ward were appointed to direct the senior high Student Senate. FACULTY The artistic witnesses have not been forgotten, for Mrs. Rust is teaching the students to appreciate the finer side of life. Mrs. Rust is new this year, and is doing a good job of taking Miss Katter's place. She has given great help to the students who have chosen art for their future careers. Some of the things her classes have been studying are apartment designing, painting, and face sketching. The posters for our dances, plays, and paper sales have had their origin in the classes of Mrs. Rust. Carrying out the instructions of their teachers is sometimes hard to do, especially when they have to get the right results. However, these future housewives of America are now learning the tricks of the trade in their home economics classes. Whether their experiences need a knowledge of cooking, sewing, or the planning of a lovely home, the girls who have studied under these teachers will be well equipped to meet with any problem which might arise. Miss Fox, one of our home economics teachers, taught school in Siam before coming to Robbinsdale. She has given many enjoyable talks on her experiences there in numerous auditoriums and club meetings. She brought back many clothes and articles which are symbolic of Siam and have been exhibited by her during her lectures. The reason for all of the feminine witnesses looking so pretty is the expert guidance of Miss Paulson, Miss Carlson, and Miss Fox, our home economics instructors. All of these teachers, although new this year, have done a good job of teaching their respective phases of home economics. The students have learned how to make delicious meals, to keep up their vitality during the trial, and to plan a cozy and lovely home for their future husbands. Mrs. Gladys Rust Miss Elsa Carlson. Miss Lois Fox. Miss Eva Paulson Homo economics class FACULTY Teaching the more masculine witnesses to use their brawn as well as their brain, so they can further their abilities, would seem to be a hard job, but not for our shop teachers, Mr. Wilcox, Mr. Kraft, and Mr. Klatt. Many boys have started their careers as draftsmen, architects, and builders in the classes of these teachers. With their instructions students have learned to use their hands skillfully in drawing plans for homes and buildings. In the world which will develop now that the peace has come, engineers of all types will be very important and the boys studying under these teachers are qualifying themselves to take their place in that industrial world. Noise to be sure, but in this case the noise of industry and production. The clatter that comes from our shop rooms is proof that the future of America's industry is bright. Many of the boys who are now just beginning will grow up to be our future builders. The boys who are taking shop now, are learning about the designing of homes and buildings along with the tricks in making many useful tools. Let it never be said that we are not in tip-top physical condition to help carry us through the years of our trial. For the work of Miss Skartvedt and Mr. Wrucke is to see to just that. In the classes of these two teachers, we have been helped to develop ourselves into good, sound, and healthy American boys and girls. Such sports as baseball, football, basketball, wrestling, track, and other sports have been taught the boys by our gym master, Mr. Wrucke. Sports taught by Miss Skartvedt to the girls are basketball, volleyball, endball, and numerous others. Miss Skartvedt and Mr. Wrucke have also headed many gymnastic activities during the course of the years. Mr. Maurice Klatt. Mr. Harold Krait. Mr. Jay Wilcox Shop class Mr. Marvin Wrucke. Miss Valborg Skartvedt 13 FACULTY Senorita Kettleson could serve as the court translator for a Spaniard, a Frenchman, or even a Norwegian! Our Spanish teacher, Miss Gladys Kettle-son, strives so that her second-year students will graduate fully equipped to travel to Mexico and be able to talk like a native. As Girls' Club adviser she has really had an active year. Many innovations and improvements have been made in the organization this year, under her expert guidance. Miss Kettleson also found time to put on a Spanish program as the Spanish Club's contribution to auditorium entertainment, more or less singlehanded. The program was a huge success, greatly due to her careful organizing of the varied and sundry talents hidden in her first and second-year Spanish classes. They began with, “Hey there Char-ly! Buy a hot tamale! Hey there Benny! We ain't got too many!'' The scene for the program was a “Hot dog stand on the highway to Mexico City. With Jose Gonzales (Jerry Hacken- mueller) as the master of ceremonies, how could the program have been anything but a success. It had everything. A quartet of senior senores, including a Spanish Frank Sinatra with a guitar, a trio of senoritas, some dancers, a special Spanish band, and last, but not least . . . Carmen Miranda! . . . complete with ski-boots. Then they bade you a happy “Adios!'' Very capable jurors in the musical field are Mrs. Steinbach and Mr. Aft-reth, directors of the choir and band, respectively. The beautiful performances of the choir in auditoriums and musical festivities have proved that Mrs. Steinbach has a deep appreciation for music and the ability to transmit that appreciation to her listeners. Without the many enjoyable performances of the Robbinsdale senior band, the three years of our trial would have been very dull. Mr. Aftreth, the bandmaster, has started many students on the road to a musical career. The precision in music of our band is due to his tireless efforts. r FACULTY Here we have the two efficient, dependable clerks of the court. Miss Nella Peterson and Miss Alyce Gross have instructed students carefully in shorthand and typing. Perhaps some of their students will be future clerks and typists in real courts as a result of this training. The Misses Peterson and Gross carry their business training through to extra-curricular activities by taking charge of the business angles of numerous propositions. Another contribution, that we may not be quite thankful for, but is even more necessary, is their help in turning out the tests. People just keep pouring into the duplication room all day. By three o'clock the doors are bursting. This room is the headquarters of three important school activities. There are always girls at the duplicating machine, turning out tests, or at the mimeographing machine rolling out programs. Around the end of the six weeks' period, when tests are flying thick and fast, you need a priority to use either machine. Of course, that is where Miss Fox has her desk, and the Robins Tale is practically produced within these walls. Last but not least, our own dear annual was born here. So, if you're equipped with a football helmet and elbow guards, take off your glasses and come on in. Miss Patterson, we think, is on our side in this trial. She has helped us to find books, and information of every kind, to use for proving our case. Whenever there was an English report or a history report to be given, there would be a shelf of appropriate books just waiting for us. Miss Patterson has, however, at many times wanted to pronounce the verdict guilty. The lost books, the books long overdue, were quite conclusive evidence. But she has decided to forgive us, and hope for more careful students next year. Clerks: Margaret Johnson. Mable Johnson. Marian Fedor Caiotoria and Book Room Manager Verle Thompson Keeping the record of the testimony during our trial would be tedious for someone not competent enough to do it right, but it has proven otherwise for our clerks of the court, Mrs. Mable Johnson, Miss Margaret Johnson, and Miss Marian Fedor. With their help we were able to keep an accurate account of our achievements during the years. Mrs. Verle Thompson worked as manager of the school cafeteria and bookroom. Insuring the health of all of the witnesses during the year of the trial was our nurse, Mrs. Lucile Franzen. She also headed all of the dental and physical health activities. Much thanks is due to our janitors, Mr. Mike Jacobs, Mr. George Gibben-heim, and Mr. Mike Grandner, for the help they have given us during the past years. Our auditoriums, games, and other festivities would not have been possible without their able help. 16 Nurse: Lucile Franzen Janitors: Mike Grandner. George Gibbenheim.

She has a sweet personality, and is friendly with Carolyn and company. President Ray Kurosad has a secret love for the erasers in second hour English. Ho likes to build “leaky boats in his spare time. SOPHOMORES We, the sophomore class of 1946, as one of the key witnesses in this trial to judge if the senior class is worthy to be set free from the crimes they have committed during their three years in high school, “do solemnly swear on our honor to tell the truth so help us God ' What we have seen the senior class do during their last year in school would be reason enough to set them free. We were asked by various people whose names are withheld, because everyone knows them, to spy on the defendants in all their school activities. To do this we had to work jointly with them. We participated in activities like football, basketball, baseball, track, wrestling, boxing, hockey, Hi-Y, Masquers, Pep Club, Girls' Club, and G.A.A., so that we might know them better. At the beginning of the year we chose our class leaders to help us through this year and these activities. We felt that Ray Kurosad would serve as a good president, Ralph De Jarlis a vice-president, and Billie Alexander as secretary-treasurer. We have all been very loyal to our school by making up a share of the cheering sections at football, basketball, and all other sports, and part of the audience for the plays and auditoriums that have been held at the school this year. We hereby make the statement that we solemnly feel that the senior class is worthy and should be set free. We believe that all other classes will do the same things when they are in their final year. 18 SOPHOMORE WITNESSES Butterflies was the feeling in the pit of our stomachs on the memorable day of September fourth when we entered senior high as the little sophomore class with a big job ahead of us. Our biggest task was getting acquainted with the ways of the senior class. For the first few weeks we all had fears of doing something wrong that the upper classmen would hold against us for the rest of the long tedious year which was before us. As the weeks and months went on, we adjusted ourselves to the new way, and grew bold enough to mix with the upper classmen. By Christmas we found ourselves to be one big happy family, because by this time we found out that the seniors weren't as stern as they seemed to be. Now as the year comes to an end, wc look back with a smile of fond remembrance on those happy days while we think of ways we can frighten the oncoming class. 213 Row 1: B. Seaberg, D. Sundbcrg. M.

What more could one ask for or want’ Athletically minded with a line as long as a mile. Norbcrt Reichert, as president, has held this role for two straight years. Football, wrestling, baseball, etc. . . . you name it and he's in it. ''Nubs'’ to his friends. Howard Jordot. secrotary, is sandy haired, and up and coming athlete, and has a decided devilish glint in his blue eyes. JUNIORS Studious, ambitious, and co-operative characterize the students that compose the junior class of 1945-46. On trial for the past two years, they are finally given a sigh of relief as they enter their third and last year of judgment. Through their sophomore and junior years they have been led through their trials and tribulations by some very capable leaders. This year the junior class officers are dominated by boys. Norbert Reichert, who was elected president of his class this year, was also vice-president of his sophomore class. He is not only known for his good work in class duties, but is well-known for his ability on the football field. His duties as class president include: conducting the class meetings, choosing a committee for the selection of class rings, and heading the long-awaited Junior-Senior Prom. He is accompanied by Bob Schreyer, who is vice-president, and by Howard Jordet, who holds the position of secretary. One of the big moments of the juniors was the production of their class play. This was the opportunity when their talent, willing co-operation, and helpfulness was revealed. The play was one of the first big undertakings to which they ever had a chance to commit themselves. The memorable success was called ‘The Fighting Littles . The Littles were a family with a temperamental father and a teen-aged daughter. Donna Mielke and Elaine Skytte succeeded in making Goody, the daughter, a hit. Ham Ellers, a boy friend of Goody, was performed by Wayne Pitman and Ray Rasmussen. The father was portrayed by Dean Johnson and Jack Dibble. The consoling mother was played by JoAnn Gibson and Barbara Johnston. Under Miss Sinnott's clever direction, The Fighting Littles proved to be a glittering and successful performance. 21 JUNIOR WITNESSES The juniors have been well represented in every activity. Thespians has an enrollment of twenty-nine. A large percentage are on the honor roll. The greatest honor of all bestowed upon the juniors is their being selected to the National Honor Society. Here again the junior class is well represented with ten students wearing the traditional pin. Bob Baldwin, Norbert Reichert, Katherine Condon, Gene Purcell, and Donna Mielke are doing a wonderful job on the student council. Three cheers are given for their guidance during the past year. Ready to be judged as to whether they have passed all the qualifications to go on, the juniors think of the severe year of tests they have gone through. Past all the hard studying and the examinations they think of the exciting times at the football and basketball games, and the dances afterwards. How exciting it was when they were called down to the auditorium for selecting their class rings. This made them feel more like juniors achieving seniorhood. 207 Row 1: D. Mielke. J. Meister. P.

Black curly hair covers the brain which thinks football, music, and women all need improvement! Jerry Hackenmueller. treasurer, fills his spare time with Spanish, the new Red River Valley quartet and a certain miss from Southwest High School. Known around for his dry wit and active sense of humor. Houston Ahl. as vice-president, is heard singing “Sioux City Sue from morning till dusk. Track and football rank ahead of other sports as well as a certain redhead living on Scott Avenue. Jack Wincok. secretary, is seen journeying to Northfield every other week-end. Muscles, body beautiful, and under all that brawn there are some brains. He's funny, too. Me arm, me arm, ya broke my little arm!! SENIORS With a formal rap of his mallet upon his desk, the judge calls the court to order. The trial is about to begin. The seniors will be tried to see whether they have worked hard enough for three long years to merit participation in the graduation exercises. The senior class, assisted by John Cooper, president; Houston Ahl, vice-president; Jerry Hackenmueller, treasurer; and Jack Wincek, secretary, has proved itself very successful under the capable leadership of these four boys. “Janie, the class play which was given in their junior year, is still said to be the best play that Miss Sinnott has ever produced. That surely is evidence in favor of our senior class. Many of the seniors were active in Thespians, Masquers, and declamation under the supervision of Miss Sinnott and Miss Setterberg. National Honor Society has again opened its doors and twenty-seven more seniors were chosen for their outstanding characteristics of leadership, scholarship, service, and character. This is an honor that is highly regarded by all seniors. As for the girls, most of them belonged to Girls' Club, which is the largest organization in the school. It was the aim of every senior girl to develop character, leadership, and personality, so that she might meet the challenge that awaited her after commencement. Hi-Y, which is the popular boys' club, also helped to create, maintain, and extend high standards of Christian character. Just to have mentioned a few of the activities that the seniors have taken part in is sufficient proof to let the jury make the crucial decision which will affect each and every one of the seniors. The verdict has been received by the judge and the senior class is released on good behavior, leadership, and character. 26 SENIORS HOUSTON AHL—“Athletic chap and a likeable one; A lot of ambition and lots of fun.

While sports writers were telling of a post-war boom in sports, Coach Irvin Nerdahl was herding his charges onto the local gridiron to whip up a strong conference contender. The job of polishing off dummies came first, followed by sham battles with Columbia Heights and Patrick Henry. The Robins then swung into conference competition with a decision over Mound. They then lost the hardest fought game of the year to Hopkins by one point. Victories over Blake, U. High, and Excelsior preceded the less of the homecoming game to St. Louis Park. The conference schedule was finished with a win over Wayzata which tallied for third place in the conference race. Such were the highlights and general game action of the 1945 football season. Coach Nerdahl talks it over with co-captains. Fabe Blonigen and Michael Gill. 38 Football Successful football teams are composed of sweating young men pulling together for the team's benefit. Rob-binsdale's team was no exception to the standard rule. This group of boys did not succeed in capturing the championship trophy, but they did work for their record and played for the fun of playing together. Co-captain Mike Gill, all-conference end, was the outstanding pass-snatcher in the loop. Fellow co-captain, Fabe Blonigen, halfback, led the Robins in scoring, and also rated an all-conference berth. Kenny Olson, tackle, and Jack Dobbs, center, were hard-fighting play-breakers, and proved their worth when selected for the conference second team. Guards Cooper and Lidholm showed opponents not to estimate power by size. Wincek and Johnson at tackles picked up ball carriers and threw them at their blockers. Ahl, Purcell, and Reichert were ball carriers who broke into the open for scores. The team's power twins were fullbacks: Dick Wachtler and Chuck Elmer. Many charging linemen still remember their driving plunges signaled by Bob Schnozzle Schreyer at quarterback. Heartily supporting these boys were the B-squad members from whose ranks will come the boys who will shine in the years to come. Blonigen. Quarterback Gill. End Wincek. Tackle Fall. End Dobbs.

Center Lettermen Fitting here and there in the pattern of every football season are numerous crazy incidents originated by moronic numbskulls and varying natural circumstances. Things like a coach falling over a bike, while fading back to teach a beginner how to throw a pass, stick out like sore thumbs. Water fights in the shower room also help to drive managers and janitors stark raving mad. Then there are the rainy days with mud blocking, mud tackling, and black boy accents flying around with a very mean football. Toward the end of the season the boys traditionally dump the managers unceremoniously in the showers for a week straight. The showers are all right, but using their shirts for towels doesn't quite meet with satisfaction. The season ends with everyone from the athletic director to the principal loudly yelling for jerseys! 40 ROBBINSDALE HOOPSTERS 1. Blonigcn has trouble getting his shot off. 2. Gill jumps high to take the tip from Wayzata. 3. Joe's having a little eye trouble. Basketball at Robbinsdale High 1946 was highlighted by a hot and cold home team. High and low times intermingled as the local quintet won fifteen and lost eight, a .652 average. The Robin basketeers opened the season by tipping favored Hopkins on the opponents' floor. Shortly after they went into a three-game slump, being defeated by Mound, Park, and Glen-wood during that time. They then built up a seven-game winning streak which Park ended; also ending conference hopes at the same time. Following the Park game, Mound and Excelsior took the Robins' scalp, after which the Robins outpointed Wayzata twice. The season ended with our Robins losing a one-point district game to Deephaven; later district champions. 4. Hemmed ini by Wayzata. 5. Rudrud using a football bloc. 6. Varsity talks it ovor. When conference championships and tournament trophies were considered, the '46 squad didn't succeed in capturing either. Final standings in the Lake Conference found the local club in fourth place. Deephaven squeezed a one-point victory from the Robins in the first round of the district tournament after the Robins had taken the measure of Wayzata in the sub-district. The conference race featured the twin licking given Hopkins by our team, the '46 squad being the first to turn the trick. Park and Mound each took the Robins twice, although three of the games were last-minute victories. Tit-for-tat was delivered where Deephaven was concerned, as the home team won a midseason overtime verdict from them. 41 Row 1: Mr. Aldon. Coach; Rudrud. F; Co-captains Blonigen and Gill. G; Gamble.

Though he had no help with his charges, he gained everyone's respect by throwing many upsets into the dope bucket. To him must be given the credit for carrying on when war caused a shortage of coaches. As was the case in football, the basketball squad elected Fabe Blonigen and Mike Gill co-captains to lead them through the season. Lead them they did by coming in fifth and ninth respectively in conference scoring. Mike and Fabe have played together through four years of Robbinsdale athletics, so it was indeed appropriate that they were chosen to finish their high school careers as co-captains of the football and basketball teams. Only one member of the '46 basketball Robins won individual honors, that member being Fabe Blonigen. Fabe was chosen for both the honorary all-conference and all-district teams for the second time. 42 Forward! Guards! Centers! Forward! guard! center! Who filled these positions on the basketball team? Five seniors and five juniors split the honors in holding down these places. • Seniors were co-captain guards. Gill and Blonigen, who threw the ball to center, Fuller; forward, Havens, and fellow guard, Rudrud. Men returning next year are forwards, Schreyer and Schroeder; center, Palmer, and guards, Gamble and Baldwin. “B squad men who promise to strengthen next year's squad are Gorman, Elmer, Dale, and Linderholm. Christmas vacation recorded a trip north by the team during which they beat Paynesville and lost to Glen wood. Other business included coach Les Alden playing poker for fun and nearly cleaning the experts on the team. An interesting sidelight concerns the fact that any team member will swear he never ate so much in so short a time. Then there's the survey on northern girls taken by the boys while en route. Ah ,for a short trip north! Warriors Scalped! Friday, January 25, 1946, may have been just an ordinary day as far as the rest of the world is concerned but any loyal Robinite will testify this was a great day in the 1946 basketball season. It was on this day our Robins smashed the Hopkins Warriors for a second time in one season to be the first team to attain this mark. Following a 33-27 opening date victory they delivered the final to the famous one-two punch with a 34-23 wallop to set the Warriors on their heels permanently. With center, Joe Fuller, and guard, Mike Gill, leading the scoring way, the Robins turned in a near-perfect defensive game to hold Hopkins to their lowest point total of the year. Another factor in the victory was Gill's fine defensive work in holding Hopkins' ace, Bruce McQueen, to three points. Yes, sir! Friday, January 25, was indeed an important Robin basketball day!

Coached by Loren Ward and led by Captain Bob Panchyshyn, they hung up a record of fourteen dual victories against zero defeats. Beside the state championship, they added the conference and regional titles to their laurels as well as placing second place in the NWAAU meet. The boys who won gold medals in the state tournament were Ofsthun, Shumate, Wingard, Panchyshyn, and Engel. An oddity in this concerns the fact that Engel came in third in the regional tournament. Don Shumate, 145 pound specialist, won his second straight state crown while hard-working Ronnie Raskob lost to Rice of U. High for the second time in state competition. In winning the seventh title, our grapplers had little trouble as testified by a twenty-two point team margin above the others competing. This is the way in which the 1946 schedule was carried out and the glorious finish with Loit to Right: D. Schmidt. R. Schmidt. C. Wingard. R. Raskob. D. Shumate. which our team topped off their season. They have left a record yet to be topped. This year's wrestling team was ably coached by Loren Ward, who returned from Army service to resume his prewar duties. “Corky Ward stepped in Vick. Anoka Wingard. Anoka Schmidt.

Winner of eighteen matches during the season, his record was in- dicative of the remainder of the squad's previous and present record. Competition during the regular wrestling season found our wrestlers capturing fourteen straight matches. Conference or non-conference, it made no difference, as they overpowered all opponents to extend their string of dual victories to thirty-seven straight wins. Ofsthun and Vick, both under-classmen, handled the 103 pound division. Other men not graduating this year are Dibble, 133 pounds; Cooper, 120 pounds, and Dick Schmidt, 112 pounds. Seniors filled in the remainder of the team. Boys like Roger Schmidt, Raskob, Shumate, Wingard, Panchyshyn, and Engel finished their high school wrestling careers. All but Curt Wingard are double letter winners while Raskob, Shumate, and Panchyshyn have participated in two state tournaments. These men will leave vacancies hard to fill next season. Good wrestling teams will come again but the '46 squad will be recorded as one of the greatest. Members of this year's team will fondle their medals in the coming years and reminisce of the good old days when they were members and helped make a state championship team. Panchyshyn. Anoka Engle.

As defending district and conference champions they had a tough job cut out for themselves to retain their titles. Returning veterans were infielders Blonigen, Schreyer, Johnson, and Baldwin, who supported the batting brothers, Wayne and Adrian Pitman. The remaining positions were filled by Havens, Davis, Gamble, and Heath. Mr. Wrucke coached the tracksters who were led by Captain John Cooper and five other returning lettermen. Mainstays among the trackmen were Cooper, 440 and relay; Rudrud, hurdles and high jump; Carlson, 220; Ahl, 100, and Johnson, 440.

LETTERMEN Robbinsdale's newly formed R Club'' marched through its second year of existence by incorporating new letter-wearing rules and holding special social functions. They raised funds by sponsoring a benefit game with the alumni in a basketball double-header. School officers leading the club through the past school year were Fabe Blonigen, vice-president, and John Cooper, secretary-treasurer. President of this club is alumnus Bob Peterson, last year's football captain. All the R Club activities were carried through under the direction of Mr. Wrucke. PUCKSTERS Hockey competition around the metropolitan area was very stiff last winter; consequently our Robins did drop quite a number of games. The local six was the only operating squad in the Lake Conference, so their schedule consisted primarily of the larger city schools. Co-captains of the 1946 ice-squad were Larry Moran and Boris Salomon while Tex Ahl, Ronnie Johnson, and Dick Remarke were also regulars returning from the '45 team. Coach of last season's pucksters was Mr. Klatt. 47 Robbinsdale's ”B Club discussing business during an informal meeting in 203. GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES Defending the senior girls in the sports field is the G. A. A. adviser, Miss Valborg Skartvedt, and the sports manager, Nancy Jensen. Nancy is cm active member of Girls' Club and is the sports chairman on the Girls' Club cabinet. The girls have participated in activities such as endball, basketball, volleyball, archery, and badminton. The outdoor sports have to be played according to the type of weather, thus leaving the competition in tennis and baseball quite low. For their participation in these sports the girls obtain points. When enough points have been earned, the members are awarded emblems and letters, which are presented on letter day. The testimonies of the defendants stressed that these competitive sports create and stimulate interest in good sportsmanship and physical fitness. Our defense council, in cross-exam-ing the witnesses, revealed that badminton and basketball rates the highest in the opinion of senior members in the club. Play-day, an event in which the junior and senior girls from the Lake District get acquainted, has been one of the biggest highlights in the sports field. These meets have been canceled the last few years because transportation was not available. The history of G. A. A. enters into the summing up of the evidence. This organization was founded by a small group of girls eager to learn the fundamentals of sports and social activities in the year nineteen hundred and thirty-six. The progress of this group was very rapid and in nineteen hundred and thirty-eight they organized what is now known as Girls' Club, one of the largest organizations in the school. We of the defense submit this evidence as proof that by taking part in these events we have earned the right to be free. Top to bottom: Archers -Gathering of the girl athletes Badminton Basketball 4fl “There’s a Cheer from the Stands and the Bleachers” PEP CLUB • A greater desire for a more solid school spirit, and the urge to really back our teams has made the Pep Club one of the most prominent elements in our school. Its enthusiastic and energetic thirty-five members have kept the other students cheering and backing our praisable athletic teams. To keep our teams assured of our patriotism has been their main purpose. . Our club has been led by Gerry Squires, president; Jerry Hackenmuel-ler, vice-president; Marianne Schreyer, secretary; Mary Jo Cavanagh, treasurer. Miss Alice Anderson was the faculty sponsor. The Pep Club has sponsored the colorful and humorous pep fests before most of the games and has provided the students with all the information needed about the games. Never shall we forget the Pep Club dance after the Park game, and we all must agree that it truly was a tremendous season. CHEER LEADERS This time it's our turn to give fifteen cheers for our excellent cheering staff, including Gerry Squires, Beverly Moran, Pat Chase, Corinne Robinson, Gerry Hommes, Ray Rudrud, and Ray Milford. Gerry, Beverly, Pat, and Ray Rudrud are seniors and have contributed evidence towards the good standing of the class. Ray Milford, a ninth grader, shows remarkable promise and will never let his class show poor sportsmanship. Gerry is a sophomore, and Corinne is a junior. They will cheer their classes on to victory next year. Our super new yells were originated by our cheer leaders. With the co-operation of the students we will always have a Pep Club and cheer leaders we are proud of. HI-Y Row 1: M. Hughes, C. Brooks. C. Wingard. D. Shumate. R. Johnson. R. Rudrud. Row 2: B.

The purpose of this organization is to create and maintain high standards of Christian character. Juror Wesley Hawk is the faculty adviser. The organization is made up of three clubs: the Ta De Das, Relmars, and Alter Egoes. Weekly meetings are held at the homes of the various members. Joint meetings held in Robbins-dale High School are supervised by Mr. Waldo Ekstrand, Secretary of the Northside Y, and their own adviser Mr. Hawk. Officers of the club are Curtis Wingard, president; Donald Shumate, vice-president; and Clifford Brooks, secretary-treasurer. MARKSMEN The organization that probably most closely resembles the bailiffs (armed guards) of the court room scene is the Rifle Club. This club's purpose is to develop proficiency in the use of firearms. At the meetings held in the rifle range, the members shoot for National Rifle Association awards. Some of the members have won the rank of marksmen first-class already. First two, then only one meeting a week, has been held throughout the year. The positions that the riflemen shoot from are: off-hand, prone, kneeling, and sitting. Jurist Kelly is the adviser. RIFLE CLUB Row 1: L. Koeligcn. J. Olson. D. Johnson. Mr. Kelly. K. O'Dell. F.

Murphey. ‘The Fighting Littles'' was the young comedy presented by the junior class, under the direction of Miss Sin-nott. It was written by Caroline Franck, with a plot centered around Goody Little, a young girl who is having an extremely difficult time choosing between two young men. Donna Mielke and Elaine Skytte played the part of Goody, who finally decided to say “yes'' to Ham Ellers, a likable, happy-go-lucky fellow, played by Wayne Pitman and Ray Rasmussen, and No to her father's choice, the ambitious young businessman, Norman Peel, portrayed by Tom Plante. Goody's worried father and mother were ably portrayed by Dean Johnson, Jack Dibble, Joann Gibson, and Barbara Johnston. Henriette, a sho-nuff vamp from the South, complicates matters for everyone concerned. She was very vampishly played by Judy Dahl and Margie Gladwin. A lot of amusing by-play was very cleverly done by the rest of the cast and it all added up to a very interesting play. The senior class presented the play that thrills you and chills you while you are laughing hysterically, Arsenic and Old Lace . Miss Sinnott presented another hit when she produced the play with one of the most unusual plots ever conceived. It deals with the poisonous career of two sweet old ladies, Martha and Abby, their distraught young nephew, Mortimer Brewster, another nephew under the illusion he is Teddy Roosevelt, and thirteen innocent old men the aunts poison because they are old and lonely . The funniest moment of the play: a never-to-be-forgotten curtain call. Both the junior class play and the senior class play were examples of Miss Sinnott's fine choice of plays, and of her ability to organize a group of amateur high school students into giving a polished performance.

Bob Fore, Arthur Goetzke, and Dean Johnson have remained the steady foundation of our stage crew all year. Students would come and students would go, but they and Mr. Wilcox (their adviser) slaved on forever. The boys have to be on hand for auditoriums of any kind, all of the plays, and anything else where the stage is used. Their lives are spiced with precarious trips up the suicide ladder, and frequent sessions with Mr. Mielke, who sometimes can't understand their antics. They lead a life where every goodbye may be the last. Seriously, they have done a very difficult job very well, and really have put in a great deal of time. But they are noble about it. What if they do have to miss a few hours of school? They are willing to make the sacrifice. The record of their part in the trial has been very creditable, and they have been some of our most helpful witnesses. The Masquers and the Thespian troupes are also under Miss Sinnott's guidance, and work hand in hand in producing the dramatic events of our trial interestingly and well. The Masquers are junior Thespians, in an organization which anyone may join, and from which are chosen the Thespian members. It works on a point system whereby the Masquer receives a certain number of points for work in dramatics. The two organizations put on productions either alone or with the Thespian troupe. One outstanding play that came as the result of a Thespian and Masquer combination was the Christmas play, Good King Wen-ceslaus, with its ancient tradition and beautiful costumes. It was given in the auditorium and also for the Parent-Teachers' Association. But all work and no play makes a Thespian bored stiff, so ... they have a busy social life, too. They have attended many plays at the University Theater, and, of course, no one will forget those memorable initiation banquets. MELODY Time out in the courtroom! We now see the music-makers step from their places on the witnesses' and defendants' stands, and fall briskly into band formation. As we listen to the rousing strains of Sousa's Stars and Stripes Forever, Introduction to the Third Act of Lohengrin, and other compositions, we think of the many activities in which the band has participated. At each home football game of the season, shivers were sent through the grandstand as the shrill whistle of our spirited majorette, Ardelle Wessberg, called the band to attention. Between halves, rank and file, clad in uniforms of blue and gray, stepped in to relieve the tension of football excitement. While the squad fought its football battle, the band kept its place on the side lines playing the school song and cheering our team on to victory. Homecoming festivities were aided by the band throughout the day. The main feature was a pageant presented on the football field. With long hours of rehearsing each week under the able directorship of Mr. O. B. Aftreth, the high-steppers slow down their pace, and put themselves behind the footlights in a unique concert, with varying numbers to please all music lovers. REEDS: J. Schroeder. L. Boauchaino. S.

RHYTHM Featured in the fall concert was the Minneapolis Lion's Club Quartet and our dazzling trumpet trio, and, as blue lights glimmered, strains of Little Rhapsody in Blue” won the heart of every listener. Auditoriums throughout the year are brightened by the band, which each spring, as it has entered the music festivals, has not failed to earn a favorable rating. As basketball season makes its debut, picked members form the pep band. Under a student director, it is always on hand to support the team with rousing tunes and rhythms. While enthusiasm is being poured into each horn with zest and zeal, the team is cheered on to do its best. Once a week the voices of singing strings pour forth from the community room; bringing with them the remembrance of the Christmas program, class plays, and baccalaureate. Our orchestra is not all Strauss and waltzes, but it also brings to you such semiclassics as Begin the Beguine.” Other musical groups within the members of the band are the brass sextet and clarinet quartet. They have appeared from time to time on special occasions throughout Minneapolis and the lake district. They, too, enter the annual district music festival each spring, and reap their share in the harvest of rewards. Many of the members of these groups are music letter winners. Ability, hours of intense practice, and cooperation are the basis for music enjoyed by all. ss Brass Soxtetto ROBIN The A'Cappella choir, under the capable direction of Mrs. Marion Stein-bach, defends and upholds the harmonious session of our R. H. S. trial. Every day the choir starts out right by filling the air and surrounding halls with their melodies. The songs range from Handel's classical Hallelujah Chorus to Dave Rose's semi-classical Deep Purple. The choir was started with only an alto, soprano, and tenor section in 1934. In 1936 the bass section was added and since then the choir has increased from 62 to 88 members. In the past two years, under Mrs. Steinbach's guidance, the choir has given many effective and commendable performances with the concert given for the purpose of raising money for new robes being the most prominent. It was reputedly a great success, as the choir now appears in deep maroon robes with gold collars, which, along with their splendid harmony, makes their appearances even more enjoyable to all. Perhaps the most effective program is the annual Christmas candlelight service given jointly by the choir and the orchestra. Row I: D. Schaale. M. Sturdovant. J. Halvorson. N. Price. E. Smith. L.

Wesley Johnson and Jean Arbuckle, two up-and-coming choir members, gave splendid performances at the Apollo contest sponsored by the Apollo Club this year at our school as well as at North High School. Jean also won the highest award at the district music festival given at Robbinsdale in 1945. Being a member of the choir is not entirely work, however, for along with their practicing ,the songsters mix some pleasure. The choir breakfast, given in the spring of each year, and the Christmas caroling at different rural CHORISTERS schools are some of their many social activities. The first all-choir concert to be given at this school was held March 22. Two new and well-liked ditties, Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” and Pearly Raindrops” were featured at this time. A beautiful garden scene, in which all the feminine members of the choir wore formals, ended the program. Their final performance was given at the Baccalaureate service in the spring. At that time the seniors were through, but all will remember that one of the bright spots in their school careers was the choir. Many more underclassmen will come forth to fill the vacancies left by the seniors and will give the school many joyful hours filled with their music. In the annual district festivals, given each year at different lake schools, the choir has always received high ratings. They received an A rating at the district to go on to the state festival held May 11. For their work in creating amusement and entertainment for others the choir wishes to ask the jury for a pardon. 37 Mrs. Steinbach. Director GIRLS NEW CABINET- ROW i: Mi s Mickclson. M. Gladwin. I.

When the Girls' Club leaders and advisers were placed on the witness stand, they revealed the secret doings and main social events that were most prominent during the past school year Early in October the most famed pot-lucks underwent a change. Whereas the meals were formerly served at individual tables, the tables were excluded and the dinners were served buffet style. Each dinner was followed by a business meeting, at which projects were undertaken to improve and strengthen the club and its members. The business meetings were followed by programs which had different themes for each successive month The entertainment usually consisted of a short skit, piano and vocal selection, and various orations in keeping with the theme. The initiation candlelight service in October followed a week of carrying books, opening doors, bowing, coming with hair in pin curls, and wearing dresses inside out for the new members, and a week of leisure and teasing for the old members and especially the cabinet. Dues were collected at this time and upon completion of much intensive study the new members took stiff entrance examinations before they could be formally initiated. The annual all-school Harvest Moon dance was held in November with winking moons, silver stars, and cornstalks adorning the Community Room in the traditional spirit of Hallowe'en. During the Christmas season the girls proved their responsibility by donating gifts to the Red Cross for the unfortunate and needy children. The girls also collected wrap-inwax coupons to obtain funds for Red Cross activities. They have now adopted three children at Glen Lake 58 CLUB RETIRED CABINET- ROW 1: M. I. Cavanagh. F. Jordet.

Sanitorium to whom they send a small gift every month. The mothers' and daughters' tea was held in the Community Room on December sixth. At this time the mothers were introduced to the advisers and presented to their daughters' favorite girl friends and teachers. In February, to the theme of hearts and cupids and in the company of a man, the girls attended the Valentine Dance with its gala decorations and music by the nickelodeon. During the month of March, in the presence of their able advisers, Miss Gladys Kettleson, Miss Kalma Mickle-son, and Miss Valborg Skartvedt, the presiding officers, Frances Jordet, president; Lois Beauchaine, vice-president; and Mary Jo Cavanagh, secretary-treasurer; relinquished their positions to the newly-elected officers, Jacquelyn Utterberg, president; Marjorie Gladwin, vice-president; and Theresa Wyers, secretary-treasurer. The new officers ably conducted their first business meeting at the installation pot-luck supper on March seventh when they stated their plans for the coming term. Crisp, gay spring frocks made their debut when the climax of the social season, the much anticipated and discussed Cotton Ball, was presented. Arrangements for the dance were made by the new cabinet and successfully carried out by the old cabinet. The girls and their escorts danced to the refrains of a well-known orchestra. A calm May morning found the girls in the park enjoying and participating in their final affair, the senior breakfast. Games were played and breakfast was supplied by some of our more accomplished cooks. The Girls' Club hereby submits this evidence and asks the jury to set them free. 59 NATIONAL HONOR Row 1: F.

Each member of this select group has shown outstanding ability in leadership, personal and scholastic achievements. There are thirty-two members, chosen from the junior and senior class for their outstanding characteristics and individual personalities. This society has cared for and kept up to date the service men's honor roll board located in the lower hall just inside the front entrance of the school. The officers of this group are seniors, with Milton Hughes as president; Janet Dumam, secretary-treasurer; and Mr. Milo Mielke as the counselor. REPRESENTATIVES A group which demands the respect and admiration of all, because of its numerous activities and achievements, is our Student Council. It is constantly at work on improvements. The organization has drawn up an entirely new constitution this year. It appropriated money for the Homecoming program and was responsible for the sale of Robbinsdale High School emblems and pennants. The council secured permission for and sponsored many of the dances held after basketball games. There are seventeen members in this group. Officers are: Fabian Blonigen, president; Gene Purcell, vice-president; and Carolyn Nelson, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Ward and Miss Mickelson, the council's advisers, have devoted much conscientious effort toward aiding our student representatives. STUDENT COUNCIL Row 1: C. Nelson. Miss Mickelson. Mr. Ward. F.

Will the declamers of this year be tomorrow's orators? All the mysteries of the duplicating room unfolded to the new members of the Commercial Club at the beginning of this year. It didn't take them long to understand how the mimeograph and duplicating machines operated, under the direction and supervision of Miss Nella Peterson. Each member worked for a faculty member for whom she typed and whom she assisted in any way that she could. She also offered her stenographic services to the office during free hours. All the play programs and announcements were printed by the Commercial Club. It was their aim to prepare themselves for the future so that they might become efficient stenographers and secretaries in the business world. ORATORS With steady voices and trembling knees, those who participated in Declam came bravely before the judges. The brave students found their places in one of the groups. Three new divisions were added this year: Humorous Interpretive, Discussion Panel, and the One-Act Play. Their first appearances were before the teachers and students in the various English classes. Those who received a favorable decision from the teachers had a second trial in the auditorium before parents and friends. With firm determination the contestants brought their cases before able judges in the district contest. Then, with more diligent endeavor, they came victoriously through the regional contest.

Joann Cooper and Lois Beauchaine, co-editors, and their staff succeeded in enlarging this year's book by sixteen pages. After visits to the university and much brain work, the theme, The Court Will Come to Order, was finally decided on. Work got under way after the staff and theme were chosen. First of all a paste-up dummy was made, which was used as an outline in making up the book. Assignments were given out and mounting of pictures began. Long after school hours you could see the two editors slaving (and eating) away in room 204. Copy and picture deadlines had to be met (sometimes they were and sometimes they weren't!) and many trips to printers and engravers were made. The staff sponsored the Christmas Dance to raise more money for the annual. The cover is quite different this year in that it has the picture of our school done in purple ink. There are also many more pictures appearing in the casual section. The jury will now adjourn and bring in the verdict. Mis Mary Ahles. Adviser V. Edling. G. Hosterman, J. Kruogor. F. Blonigen. G.

The purpose of the Auditorium Club is to give entertainment to the defendants for their good behavior throughout their last year. The witnesses of these programs include the tenth and eleventh grade students. This department of our court was under the able guidance of Miss Josephine Setterberg, with Gretchen Hosterman serving as president. Among the entertaining programs sponsored by the Auditorium Club was the very successful George Washington program given over the public address system to the classes. Another very interesting program was Miss Lois Fox's talk about her trip to the Orient to teach the Siamese girls home economics. She also related some of the habits which the people there possess and the customs they practice. The Auditorium Club was very successful in making a planned schedule of programs, in finding outstanding talent, and in making their programs a success during this past year.
