The junior class play, LOVE THY NEIGHBOB, was a great success, By ordering their class rings, electing the new Girls' Club ollicers, and break- ing in a new paper stall they have been busily preparing for their role as the luture senior class ol Bobioinsdale High School, During the past year the juniors chosen to lead their class have been Harlan Snietzer, president, Adron Pitiiion, viceepresident, Barbara Hinchclitf, secretary, and Pat Klise, treasurer THE 1948 ROBIN 0Pll0 IIRES The year 1948 has shown us a typical Sophomore Class. The first few weeks were a bit difficult for these new members of the high school as they were not quite sure of themselves. lt did not take them long, however, to get into The Swing of Things and by the end of the school year they had become a permanent part of our student body. The Sophomore boys were well represented in the field of sports, such as basket- ball, football, wrestling, and track. The girls showed enthusiasm for Girls' Club and G.A.A. The sophomore class ranked high on the all-year honor roll. They also par- ticipated in band, choir, and declamation. Although these Sophomore members are glad that school is over, we know they are looking forward to being luniors next year, They have set a fine record for them- selves and are really a top-notch class.

The Thespian Society was es- tablished in the spring of 1929 by a group ot teachers and stu- dents interested in the advance- ment of dramatic arts in the high schools, The aims of the society LOVE THY NEIGHBOR are two-fold: to establish and promote standards oi excellence in all phases of dramatic arts, and to create an active and intelligent interest in dramatic arts among students. The society, sponsored by the teachers and students, this year selected Love Thy Neighbor as their junior class play. Hin't that the irony for you.

GIRLS, CL B ln 1938, under the leadership of Miss Skart- vedt, thirty-tive girls organized G.A.A. to spon- sor athletic functions. Out of this organization grew our present-day Girls' Club so that girls interested in athletics would have experience in social activities and girls interested in social activities could develop an interest in athletics. Its main purpose is to create a greater feeling of friendship among the girls, to develop char- acter, leadership, and personality, to render service, and to promote a high standard ot ideals for themselves and the school. Each Marlene and Gerry member of Girls' Club takes the following pledge ff l now promise to accept and to fol- low the blue light of character, the yellow light of wisdom, the red light of health, the lavender light of beauty, the green light of service. ln joining this club, l promise to be guided by this rainbow of virtues in the conscientious ful- fillment of my pledge. Girls' Club today is under the sponsorship of Mrs. Beverly Kissell, Miss Kalma Mickelson, and Miss Valborg Skartvedt. PIIEXY The Girls' Club, which was founded to pro- mote friendship and understanding among Rl-l.S. girls, is the largest, and one of the most active clubs in school. The past president, Gerry Hommes, has turned over her responsi- bilities to Marlene Eiden who will carry on next year.

DECLAMATIO The memorizing and delivering of speeches or parts of speeches that are Writ- ten by others is known as declamation. Sometimes the memorizing of poetry is also referred to as declamation. It is an ancient method of learning to speak and read in public. At times it has been abused and is still abused. In spite of the abuses of declamation it is, if properly used, a highly useful Way of learning to master the finer points of delivering speeches and inter- preting reading. First, it entails careful reading and re- reading of the selection chosen-in a day when too much reading is hasty and care- less--in order to master the thought and 34 feeling of the selection. Second, in prepar- ing the declamation a student has the op- portunity to practice many of the finer points of communicating thought, effective action of the Whole body, correct breath- ing, voice, placement, quality, inflection, strength, and resonance, pronunciation, phrasing, emphasis, tempo, and articula- tion.

This honor repre- sents the fundamental objectives for which schools are instituted and gives recognition to those who have attained most nearly the desired ends, these ends being Scholar- ship, Leadership, Service, and Character. Other honors at the disposal of the school are only partial in the sense that they recognize specialized ability, skill or talent, but this Society looks upon education as a total product measured by these tour di- mensions ot lite.

We are leaving Robbinsdale High School and some of us may be separated for a long time. As it is customary to hold a class reunion. let's swing ahead to 1960. where the almost forgotten class of '48 is having its first banquet and get together . President El Gorman. now the crooner sensation of the Universe. has rocketed down from the moon to preside. He introduces a few of the honored guests . . . let's listen in . . . fPresident Gorman speaks:l Many of our fellow classmates have gone far in the way of success since we last met. and I would like to call attention to a few of them. Maybe I'll ask for a word or two from those more prominent. Our class roll call is truly a star line group. Who would have thought that our lackie Schmock would be on Broadway today? It certainly shows that Dramatics pays off. Then of course. there is the pheno- menal success of Alfred Malbon and Ed Dooley. whose physical culture school is doing an unheard of business. In fact. I was there yesterday when who should drop in but Donna Grenell. She had iust received news that she had been named Star Woman Basketball Player for this year and that once again Ruth Howe was chosen as the All- Round Woman Athlete of the Solar System for 'S0. Things haven't really changed as much as I thought they had. I know that many of our fellows will be glad to know that our '47 Homecoming Queen has promised to come to- night. She may be late due to poor rocket conditions be- tween here and Mars. where she has been modeling. tFor those of you who didn't know. she's Held through thick and thin and is on the road to success as a professional model.l tTime out for a commercial.l While we are on the subiect of modeling. I want to say that Ierry Fischer is opening a new modeling school soon and I hope that every- one will give him a boost when he starts. I understand that loe Tillman is going to lend Ierry some of his Varga models for a start. Ioe is certainly giving Petty and Varga some good competition! It is surprising how many of the class are in other parts of the country. I think that they should get Hollywood. now living special mention for making the iunket. From we have Iesse Katz and Harold Iorgenson. Iesse is out there taking television pictures and Harold is doing script writing for M.P.M. Down from Grand Rapids for the event is lack Menth whose farm is doing well. I didn't think that he was farming. but the notes say something about Little Stalls . so that must be what it means. The Three Musketeers. Ralph. Ray. and Gus iust pulled up in their new Sky Cruiser and I want to congratulate them here and now on starting Birch Bump . the night spot that is giving Oak Ridge at Crooked Lake such a lot of competi- tion. Here is something that I completely forgot te say at the beginning of the dinner. so I'll pass it along now. We have a baby nursery up in good old 20l. so those of you that that didn't know. can take the kiddies up there. I'll bet Hank never thought that his quarters would be tumed into a nurseryl I am happy to announce the arrival of the lflth Gausling. meaning of course. that new lack has only one more to go for his own football squad. Now is a good time to pause for some music by Vaughn Tiedmand and his band. then we'll continue with our cele- brity review. Take it away, Vaughnl This is strictly off the record. but I have it on good ac- count. that Dolores Topel is Miss Hush on the latest series. I understand that she may get the iob permanently. I hope that everyone noticed the beautiful flowers that we have here tonight. They are through the courtesy of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Devaney. the Flory-ists. It's too bad that. of all things, we haven't got a private- eye in the lot. because they say that Dick Bonneville is still looking for his Baby Blue Eye note. I must say. though. it wouldn't take a detective very long to spot the Fossmo family now that Marie and Bob have outfitted their tribe with those cute little red bowling shoes. Well. well. we really have a celebrity here tonightl The Prime Minister of Ireland. none other than our own Dennis Madden. If you've been following the politics of the Old Sod. you know that he has iust replaced DeValera. Congratulations. Dennis. Through the years. all of us have improved in many ways but I feel that we should name Shirley Champlain as the gal who has Schon the most improvement. Of course. we have runners-up, such as Gene Ren: who. we are in- tormed. has just finished another Hot Copy novel. Con- cerning novels. Donna Cronin and Dale Camegie have a new book on the stands now. Our Personality Gal. Donna is now letting others in on her secret formula. Civic advancement should always get attention. so I think that we should all pay tribute to Den Lusian. Lawrence Knobel. and Iohn Gleason for starting the new Robbinsdale Chapter of Alcoholics Anonymous. It has amazing mem- bership out here and is pushing none other than New York City for the largest number of subscribers. With such a turnout. it would have been a terrific iob to handle the crowd if it hadn't been for Tom Watson. who now owns the Alvin and is used to holding and handling mobs. See what a little ushering iob can lead to??? Those of you who are worried that Iunior is not behav- ing himself upstairs. have no qualms. We've got Neil Of- sthun. the champion boxer, with Wally Roles and Deets Schmidt. the famous wrestlers. as Sitters . Helen and Swede Swenson looked shocked just then. but I assure you that Little Swede and Little Helen. your twins. will get the best of care. For such Technical Advice as may be need- ed. Ted and Valeria Allison are up there to help. I had hoped that Pat Thompson would be here in time to say a word or two. but I guess that his duties as new head of the I. C. Penney-Thompson Store are going to detain him. Really. I'm surprised how many of us have gone into private business. Virginia and George of course. have their I-Iomburger shop. and new I have word that Curt Dallman and Donna Sundberg have a fool-proof frec - hin shop. More power to all of you. eres a note here that says. Come to Ierry's to get Clothes for the Classy Cos- mopolitan . which naturally means Ierry Hansen's shop down next to Dayton's. Rumor has it that Ierry has finally agreed to allow them to merge with him. ' n u wish to urry home. tl-Especially Gene Kurtz who is speeding to Shakopee. Yes. he's still doing itll As I said. we've had a wonderful time together and I feel that all of us will feel closer te- gether after this re-acquaintance. so until we meet again. good-bye. good luck and God speed. . . 41 SENIUR LEISURE 1 I 'I 5' lf' Deeta and his Cadillac.

'Q Y A 18 FUIITBALL -.Irvn Again Robbinsdale has succeeded in capturing the l947-48 Lake Crown, making it an impressive two years in a row for likeable coach, lrv Nerdahl. At the beginning of the season, Ralph Linderholm was chosen captain, and he did a fine job leading the defending champions of l946-47 to another championship in 1947-48. Robbinsdale played its first game against Anoka under the lights and battled the Suburban Champions for four hard quarters, only to be edged out 7-6. ln their conference opener, Robbinsdale humbled Excelsior l3-O and then came back to swamp University High School 26-U. ln the games that followed, the Robins bumped off St. Louis Park l4-7 and Wayzata 21-6. Mound was stubborn but the Nerdahlmen were the victors l3-6. ln the last conference game of the year the Robins fought the Hopkins' Warriors to a 5-6 deadlock. Standouts in the line were Seniorsi Deets Schmidt, All-Conference Tackle, lack Gause, Guard, El Gorman, Second All-Conference Guard, and Ralph Linderholm, Right End. Linderholm also placed on the All-Conference Team at Right End. Credit should be given hard working center, Bill Magnuson, scat back, Bob Renz, stellar end, Ade Pitmon, tackle, Bruce Hayhoe. Backfield men were: fullback, Chuck Elmer, Second All-Conference quarterback, Bruce l-lebbe, alternate flanking right halves, Gene Kurtz and Bob Renz, and speed merchant, Gene Renz. Renz also spearheaded the Nerdahl attack with his running and passing, which in turn gained him a berth on the All Lake Team of the Year. The Ne-rdahlmenu did well, and can hold their heads high, as this year can be put down in the books as another very successful football season, 2 7 4 .19 5 ' . 4 SU THE 1948 ROBIN 4 I .A ROW 1: Linderholm, R..

Robbinsdales team spirit could not be matched in the early part of the season. The Robins well-built attack centered around six-toot-seven Don Dale an up and corn' , - - ing sophomore.

Under the efficient coaching of Mr. Mark Woodward, the highly-spirited Robbinsdale wrestling team, led by Co-captains Wally Roles and Don Cooper, took the Lake Conference and Regional Wrestling Championships respectively. Once again the Robin grapplers gained well-earned respect by partici- pating in the state tournament. ' The Robins, however, were nosed out in a close triangular duel between Austin, Litchfield, and Robbinsdale in the final contest. Co-captain Don Cooper and Chuck Ofsthun were the only Robins to take their divisions. Darwin Takkinen and Roger Vick lost two close matches with Takkinen losing on the flip of a coin.

Mr. Wrucke credits this years track success to the fact that the boys worked very hard and went all out for victory. The trackmen elected, all-around athlete, Gene Benz, as their captain. Gene ran the low and high hurdles plus undertaking the broad jump, shot put, and discus events. Outstanding senior letterrnen who will not return for the 1949 season are: Captain Gene Benz, Charles Elmer, Richard LaBelle and El Gorman.

THE 1948 ROBIN MANAGERS The gals behind the guns of GAA. are the managers. Each manager is in charge of a particu- lar sport. Much of the smooth running of the G.A.A. program is due to their supervision, The managers were as follows: Endball- Patsy Miller, Basketballf Donna Crenell, Badmintonnleanette Merrick, Ten- nis Pat Schafer, and Archery, fAuramae Pervier, Buth Howe, the sports representative on the Girls' Club Cabinet, was in charge of GAA. Besides their managerial duties, these girls are all active mem- bers in other GAA. sports. BADMINTON Of all C1.A.A. sports offered at Bob- binsdale badminton is, by far, the favorite.
