STUDENT SENATE Where would we be without our Student Senate? What 0 state of affairs We'd be in! iOr would wegi Seventeen is the total membership of the Senate. Everyone from football heroes to homecoming queens is represented. The first business of the year was the election of officers. Pounding the gavel was Jim Larson, with Ronald Welde acting as vice president. Marian Brunsell rapidly pushed the pencil as secretary and Pat Kivisto, treasurer, collected the hard-eorned money. Earning money for choir risers, bond instruments, and amplifiers for community room dancing kept this year's student council busy. As an added attraction they sponsored the annual magazine drive. Each home room showed its Christmas spirit by filling a Christmas basket for needy families of Robbinsdale. Again the Student Senate representatives took charge. Lets see now, when do we play Mound? Yes, the Senate knew we needed some reminder, so to help us out ior was it to replenish their treasury?i they sold gold basketball pencils. The when and where of each game was listed. Grades were improved and homework almost did itself for those students who owned these magic pencils. iWeII, that's what they told us over the IoudspeakerJ Better student conduct is of course a year-round project for the Senate. They not only promote better conduct in the halls, lunchroom, and auditorium, but better conduct outside of school as well. Perhaps not every aim was achieved, but those ful- filled were c1 great help. Anyway, hats off to you, members of the Student Senate. Student Council Officers R. Welde, J. Larson, Mr. Woodward, M.

The usher walks doan the aisle and stops by your row calling out your name. You iump to your feet, Who, me? A great honor has been bestowed upon you. Your knees start to shake as you walk down the aisle. When you are up on the stage of the auditorium and are taking the member- ship oath, you suddenly realize just what the National Honor Society means. The Society stands for much more than just wearing a pin. It stands for scholarship, character, leader- ship, pleasing personality and many other traits. You are proud to be a member and you hold your head high. Think of all those nights that were spent studying when you thought you would never get through with your homework. But look back, wasn't it worth it? Being a National Honor Society member means that you are a good citizen, among other traits. You can be an athlete, Homecoming Queen, outstanding scholar, or all three combined but Officers if you are a National Honor Society member, no one A. Doane, V. Merrick, Mr. Mielke, J. Hanlon, C. Seils questions your ability. National Honor is an ideal that has been upheld by Robbinsdale and all other schools throughout the entire world. May there always be a National Honor Society and members that will represent its true meaning. The officers for this year are Judy Hanlon-presi- dent, Carmen Seils-vice- president, Vonnie Merrick- secretary, and Adra Doane-treasurer. GAY SENIORITAS Row 1: J. Reynolds, J. Klise, D. Lund, B.

Over in 213, gay, romantic plans have been laid, and many carried out-plans for dances with a Spanish flavor; for club meetings with Spanish- American speakers,- for an amusing ploy given for the school; even plans for a vacation trip to Mexico. e Under the guidance ot Miss Sias, Carlos Dorn, Jose Lovelace, Vincente Bursch, and Ricardo Lund, the Spanish Club has been an active organization in R.

THE ADMIRABLE CRICHTON Presented by the Junior Class After weeks of rehearsing, hunting for Ieading-man Engen, digging up props, painting palm trees, and piling stones on a wagon, the 1950 Junior Class play was presented on November 16 and 17. James M. Barrie,s amusing story of an English butler who takes command after the aristocratic family is ship-wrecked on a lonely island was done with all the bright lights, make-up, broken zippers, bitten fingernails, and endless congratulations that go with every fine performance. Jerry Engen, as butler Crichton, was ably supported by Dave Cadwell, Janice Peterson, Barbara Foss, Nancy Gustafson, Wayne Adams, Janice Lundberg, and many of the other iuniors. Student director Pat Cook and director Miss Sinnott deserve much credit for this drama within a drama. GIVE MY REGARDS TO BROADWAY Row 1: J. Honsey, 5. Hastings, D. Lovelace, J. Longaecker, C.

During the three years that Mr. Adams has been at Robbinsdaie he has built up the choir to one hundred and thirty members, eighty of which belong to the select A Capella Choir. This latter group is mostly composed of iuniors and seniors. The choir holds an annual election of officers. This year they chose Joyce Pearson as president, Jacqueline Swanson as vice president and secretary, and Geraldine Dellwo as treasurer. The choir also selected section leaders to act as straw bosses and serve as a check on each particular section. 43 a 3:: an 33:33 33333 3:3: :33 333! $g333 3:33:33 W333 33333333333 W 3333 3333? $3333: $233 :3333 33:33:: 3:33:33 C$HE ROBIN,5 VACE F3333 ,WW 33355:; Melst3r, Mr. Zimmer- Campbell.

GIRLST CLUB The Girls' Club was organized in 1938 with the purpose of creating a greater feeling of friendship 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. Almost every girl ioins Girls' Club when she becomes a sophOmore. The first ordeal the prospective member must go through is initiation. If she survives this, she has proven that she is worthy of becoming a member of the club. The Club usually sponsors one big event each month. In September- The Invitation Tea; Octoberelnformal Initiation; November-The Harvest Moon Dance and Formal Initiation; JanuaryeAn outside speaker; February vhSno Fun Dance; Marchelnstallation of New Officers; AprileCotton Bull; MayeHamburger Fry. This latter event winds up the year's activities. A. Doone, D. Lovelace, P. Kivisto, J.

The officers are Patricia KivistOepresident, Donna Lovelace-vice- president, Joyce Pearsonesecretary, and Adra Dooneetreusurer. The Cabinet is made up of Eileen Cavanagh-historian, Ruth RennISeart, Jeanne Dornepublicity, Judy Longaecker and Carmen Seils-G. A. A., Geraldine Dellwo and Beverly Hansen- hostesses, Judy HanloneRed Cross, Mary Gilchrist and Darlene Engeltentertainment, Mary Jane Thompson and Beth Bursche decorations, and Mary Lou Kubec-kitchen chairman. Every year an entire new cabinet and officers are chosen by the present group. Girls' Club is one of the largest and most im- portant clubs at R. H. S. We hope it always lives up to its purpose of creating greater friendship among the R. H. 3. girls. G. A. A. Representatives. I i BLESSED m m READY, WILLING, AND ABLE D. Foss, J. Pearson, M.

The pep club, as you know, is responsible for those rousing M pep tests we enioy before each and every athletic contest. When these overworked pep club members are not in Mr. Mielke's office begging for their weekly fifteen-minute soiourn in the auditorium, they do such things us put on gooey candy sales for the purpose of outfitting the cheer leaders. In addition to keeping the cheer leaders well dressed the pep club members try to teach the student body the true meaning of sportsmanship and fair play. The club was captained this year by Dick Foss, presi- dent; Darlene Engel, vice president; Joyce Pearson, secretary; and Mary Ellen Dooley, treasurer. Faculty advisor was Miss Johnson. IS EVERYBODY HAPPY WELCOME CLUB A friendly ItHi is waiting for all new students at R. H. 5., thanks to the Welcome Club. These ambitious HWelcomers gave a party for the newcomers on the first day of school. An honest effort was made to keep every new student interested in school by pro- viding a friendly atmosphere. In addition to their welcoming duties they also serve as ushers for graduation and baccalaureate. To finance these and other activities, the members made and sold hundreds of holly corsages at Christmas time. Leading this group of HWelcomers in 1951 was president, David Cadwell; vice president, Joy John- son; and secretary-treasurer Janet Bies. Row 1: N. Gustafson, Mr. Woodward, B. Smith, J;Klise.

In the past decade the most ingenious group to come out of Robbinsdale High School is the Student Directory committee. The Student Directory committee was organized in 1947 for the purpose of listing all the names and addresses of the students of Robbins- dale High School. This booklet had a two-fold pur- pose: it aided the teacher in locating that character who had been absent from her class for the past two weeks and it enabled the Romeo to find that certain gan phone number without pouring over the big city directory. If any of you guys and gals think that compiling the above information was an easy task he or she had better talk to one of the kids on the committee. Anyway we all take our hats off to these kids for a iob well done! 49 SPORT HIGHLIGHTS Stretch! State Champs Volley ball AlI-Stars GUACA. Watch the birdie! No, weire not taking pictures. It's the ever popular game of badminton. The girls from R. H. 5. during the past few years have participated in the State Tournament and taken top honors. This year several of the girls entered in the Natlonal Junior Badminton Tournament. Although numerous activities are open to the girls, their interests seem to be most active in these cute- gories: badminton, basketball, archery, and volley- ball. If a girl is a sports enthusiast, she can earn points which will entitle her to an emblem, letter, or pin depending on how ambitious she is. The supervisor and originator of this club is our physical education William Tell? instructor, Miss Skortvedt. Did you know that the Broken Arrow present Girls' Club sprang up from G. A. A.? Well, if you didn't, now you do. The G. A. A. is now the athletic division of the senior high Girls' Club. R.R.R.'S Basketball Team Swing Club A Arms uFREE FOR ALI. L l7 Row 1: E. Cavanagh, J.

SHOWCASES If, on your way through the upstairs ball during various hours of the day, you are obliged to leap over decorating paper unrolled across your path, avoid glass shelves lying 0n the floor, and pick your way around various piles of clippings, pictures, or art objects, donit feel that this is an impossible mess. Take a look at this same place in about an hour, and you will find that our capable showcase committee has created another attractive display. Four senior girls took care of these showcases this year. They were Marilyn Anderson, Jo Eaton, Ruth Rennie, and Betty Champlain. Of course, if you were the one going through the hall while they were at work, you were most likely drafted to hold this poster while I fasten it, or 'istand back and tell me if this lettering is straight. It takes a lot of work and a lot of initiative to make up a display for each case, and the committee this year has done a splendid iob. B. Champlain, J. Eaton, R. M. Anderson. AUDITORIUM CLUB To start off the school year with flying colors, the Auditorium Club of R. H. 5. did sort of a house-clean- ing iob and rewrote their constitution. Most of this workm was done over at Eileen Cavanagh's house. From that time on, things have been going full swing. First, was the Armistice Day program, which went off without a hitch. Next came one of the most successful programs ever put on by a club at Robbinsdale High School. This was the Talent Show. Every bit of talent participating was excellent and Denny Nelson played the part of Uncle Milty to a 'T'! I might even go as far as to say that Milton Berle could start looking for a new iob. il swore I'll get killed for thisU Officers this year were as follows: president, Patty Kivisto; vice president, Jean Walagoski; secretary, Eileen Cavanagh; and treasurer, Jackie Swanson. Mr. Alden was faculty advisor. All in all, the club has done a very fine iob of plan- ning a year of different auditoriums for our enioy- ment. I know we have appreciated every last one of them. J Rennie, Mrs. Mitchell, gl uTOUGH ASSIGNMENT STAGE CREW Did you ever stop to wonder who was responsible for the terrific lighting and sound effects we have enioyed at our inumerousi auditoriums? Well, in case you haven't noticed, we have an efficient crew of behind the scene lads who work hard and long to give us iust the right details. If you have also won- dered why the microphone suddenly goes on the blink, it's iust one of the gang tripping on the wire as they go through their many tasks back stage. In all seriousness, these boys, who have done so much to make our plays, concerts, etc., a success are well deserving of the praise of everyone. H. Ziegelman, N. Pervier, P. Persson, R. Ryan. !I I; I; ANNOUNCERS D. Bott, D. Cadwell, D. Foss. The voice that lets us know where to be and when, is pretty important around R. H. S. It is heard at the end of fifth hour, and belongs to either Dick Foss or Dick Bott. iCould it be that the reason they wanted to become announcers was so that they could get out of their fifth hour class earlygi They do a fine iob, for all the headaches we give them. They manage to read our hastily scribbled an- nouncements, and they put up with our special announcements, such as campaigners who sing during class-election time. Dick Bott also had the iob of announcing at football games and Dave Cadwell at the basketball games. These boys have helped a great deal to make activities run smoothly. RTHEY DID THEIR BEST COMMERCIAL CLUB Here are a group of gals who do all the so-called dirty work at Robb'msdale High. During their spare time, they duplicate tests, make out the daily ab- sentee lists, and mimeograph class play programs. If they don't finish during their free periods, they have even been known to stay after school. tThat last part, of course, is the hardestlt At present the club is comparatively small, consisting of a duke,s mixture of iunior and senior girls. For being so small in size, however, the gals manage to get the work done. When you are pondering over that next English or social test, remember it was through the initiative of these pals? that the tests were forced upon us. Row 1: D. Miller, B.

As part of the organized, humanitarian program of the Red Cross, it offers its members an opportunity to serve others, both at home and abroad, in peace and war, through adapt- able channels that are correlated with school activities. Thus it forms a link between the schools and the broadening circle of local, national, and international society. The obiective of Junior Red Cross is to give youngsters in schools a chance to carry cut their motto, I Serve, through a plan to vitalize and supplement the regular school work and make citizenship teaching, health education more effective and to give experience and training in national and international citizenship which makes for world friendship and understanding.

The original club consisted of sixteen members, all of whom were chosen for their artistic ability and scholastic stand- ing. After the club drew up a constitution the mem- bers felt that the club should be enlarged. Try-outs were held after Christmas vacation and new mem- bers were admitted. By being so active the present club has set a fine beginning for future years.

SO PROUDLY WE SERVE HALL GUIDES Oh! Oh! Back to your posts, kids, here comes Springer! This is a familiar call that echoes in the halls when our faithful hall guides are interrupted in their daily gab fests or lunch raids. Was there ever born a hail guide who wrote down a pass, studied her home- work, sat at her desk t'all hour, or turned out her lights on time? The hall guides' biggest headache is the notorious character who shows her a dilapidated pass that dates back to the last home- coming festival. After she convinces this character to remove his thumb from the teacher's signature at the bottom of the pass, the hall guide finds that the teacher has been gone for a year. But does she report him? Heck, no . . . itis all in a day's work. Row 7: V. Merrick, V. Worden, B. Hoenig- schmidt, Mrs. Springer, A. Valley, 5. Ostrum. Row 2: M. Peck, M. Brunsell, J. Dorn, D. Love- lace, M. Saul, P.

QUEEN MARIAN AND HER ROYAL COURT 1 Aa7EI OBBw-SW; - PEP 95 ' THE SPOKEN WORD DER DEUTSCHE VEREIN Sprechen Sie Deutsch? If you don't, those notes written in German passed around the study hall must have been mighty puzzling. Some twenty-eight Schiiler und Schiilerinnen make up this active new club. President David Cadwell, vice president Lois Moran, and secretary Connie Betlach lead its activities while Nancy Gustafson, historian, keeps close account of activities, pictures, etc. Der Deutsche Verein sponsored its first float in the homecoming parade this year and won second prize. A not-too-German Robin was taking good care of a bedraggled Hopkins player through use of a guillotine blade. These ambitious Schiiler blossomed out with the German version of the homecoming button. The German Club's first guest speaker was Mr. Giinther Volberg, a German student studying in Minneapolis. He took the German Club on a tour through Germany with the aid of colored slides.

Deutsche Verein wished students, teachers, and friends a very Merry Christmas with their Christmas showcase display in the main entrance. Because music is' an important part of German family life, der Deutsche Verein made music on important part of their club program too. German folk songs were sung by a chorus made up of German Club students. In addition the lives of many famous composers were studied in order to gain a better insight into their music. Auf Wiedersehen yead to der Deutsche Verein's first successful DECLAMATION You may think this sounds crazy, but you very likely know a future Milton Berle or Sarah Bernhardt right here in R. H. 5. To you, he or she is only something of a pest who thrusts a script into your hand and begins orating in front of you to see if I know it. A Berle. or Bernhardt is also one who says, I'Can't go up-town tonight. Gotta go see Setterberg. To be very honest, we might continue that this Berle also adds in a worried voice, Gotta practice at least a couple of times before the contest! these industrious students compete against each other for the privilege of taking in the District and Regional Contests. Of course, placing or winning at State is the fondest dream of all. Robbinsdale students have made a splendid showing in all the contests, and everyone who took part has received valu- able experience, as well as had a lot of fun. Row 1: R. Guthals, W. Adams, D.

GOLF Driving, putting and chipping are all in a day's practice for the local Golf Masters. With notables such as lron Driver Bob Millar and Put Artist Tom Shanesy leading the field, Les Aldens par cut- ters still had their work cut out for them. Along with their duel matches they also played in several other tourneys where the expression high man wins was relinquished. R CLUB Led by president Phil Sorenson, a new organization of lettermen, re- placing one which disbanded in 1948, began operation this year. Promotion of athletic interests and providing of wholesome group activi- ties for its members is the stated pur- pose of the club, and it is likely to become an important part of school life. The first meeting in early November resulted in the installation of officers including, in addition to Sorenson; Don Pudwill, vice president; Jim Plumedahl, secretary; and Bob Kubec, treasurer. After that session, the lettermen didn't get together officially again until March 6, when they ratified their new constitution and discussed future activi- ties. Unofficially, however, a group of eight members visited the very successful 5 Club at St. Louis Park and discovered, over gallons of milk and dozens of doughnuts, how enter- taining, useful, and important a letter- men's club can be. TENNIS Capping some of the Spring Sport limelight, Tennis is now recog- nized as a coming sport. Under the watchful eye of coach John Adams, the boys battled it out all season for match positions. John McAndrews, Duane Cleve and Glen Johnson make up the backbone of the team. After completion of the regular season, a District tournament was held to seed a team into the Regional. Row 7: J.

Although playing in the shadew of lestyedr': dub, ' our Robin basketball squad composed of five seniors, six iuniors, and three sophomores battled through a rough season and came up with third place on a record at six wins and six losses. lnexperience V, was an important factor in the defects which kept ' the Robins from going beyond a .500 average. Kae Nelson, the only returning letterman, ,and Phil Sorenson, elected the mast valuable playeihy squad members, were the only seniors on the starting five. After two poor non-conference starts against Blake and Columbia Heights, the Kernan cage machine showed much more life at the beginning of the con- ference season while succumbing t9 Excelsior and breaking into the win coiumn with a ohejpoint decision over Wayzoto. The test of cavchampion Hopkins was ten points too much for the locals; and in a non-con- ference exhibition, the hot and cold pioneers of Minneapolis Central were hot at Robbinsdale to the tune of 53r37. Edina, the Lake Conference's new addition, fell twice 64 to the scrub of this year's aggregation; as did the Mohawk: of Mound. Both Edino games were won by a total of three points, and our favorites took a one-pointer when Mound was the invader. In the return game, the Robins gave a free basketball lesson, passing the test 48-A3 i . A three-point loss to Excelsioris Donlin-led cagers foilowed the first victory over Mound. Wayzuto was stung 54e36 by the Robins who were seeking revenge for the Excelsior heartbreoker. The all- around class of the SmithBrodley-Seaburg and Tschimperle-Porter-Wagner combinations of Park and Hopkins proved to be too much for the home team as they absorbed losses from both of the co- champs. The disappointment of the loss to Mound in the subdistrict was offset by Gary Pygman's selection to the coaches aH-conference team. Although the Robins didn't have a season, they played sound, entertaining basketball spectacular and came up with a good record considering their previous experience. MOST VALUABLE ROBIN PUCKSTERS Under the able coaching of mentor Les Alden, the loss-riddled pucksters were forced to settle with a 2-7-1 record in season competition. Handicapped by the loss of veteran center Tony Willie and Jim Morris through a rink mishap, the difficult schedule arranged proved too predominent for the speedsters. Sparked by the capable leadership of captain Chuck Schultz and flashy wing Gene Chancellor, they managed to gain entrance into the Regional finals against St. Cloud, but lost the nightcap 7 to 4. Being his first year at the post, Tom Shanesy handled the goal- tending tasks very well,- while Dick May, Hctrold Hannay, and Bernie Edstrom proved themselves at wing and defense respectively. With nine returning lettermen the outlook for next year's team seems decidedly better. Row 1: G. Bluem, J. Hamann, J. Morris, G. Chancellor, H. Hannay, T. Shanesy. Row 2.- F. Wahl, G. Johnson, B.

GYMNASTICS Although only in its second year of competie tion, the local gymnasts sparked by High-bar Artist Jerry Stuth and Mat King Chuck Bradley have built up a creditable reputa- tion. Officially only participating in one meet, that being the State, in which they made a very good showing, they also performed during half-time intermissions of basketball games. They gave the fans not only a feature attraction but many added thrills as well. Under the intervening eye and able assist- ance from crew cut coach Simondet, the boys have mastered almost every stunt on the mat, ranging from kips to uhandsprings. They have also learned to build innumerable pyramids, tricks and stunts on the high and parallel bars as well.

In the club, the boys learn the rules and tech- niques of safe and accurate shooting. They also learn to take care of and clean their guns. The boys fire at small targets which are hung on target carriers. The club is chartered and affiliated with the National Rifle association. To qualify, the club fired the N. R. A. Junior Qualification for accuracy. The Association is in conjunction with the army and issues guns of 22 caliber target type and ammunition to the club. To qualify for this assistance, the club must send a report of their activities of the year, along with a record of their firing. TRAC K What, more trophies? It seems that our prominent Cinder Diggers have liking for those big gold-plated trophies and have a habit of collecting them. In the post, the Robins under the excellent mentorship of Marvin Wrucke, have won every coveted title known other than the most cherished State crown. This title is the goal of every track team in the state and our local boys are no exception. They have taken home trophies from such meets as the Invitational St. Johns Meet, the St. Thomas Relays, the annual Carleton Col- lege Meet, the Mound Relays, the District and the Regional Meets. Along with these, how- ever, the tracksters themselves have won medals too numerous to mention. Row 1: L. Johnson, G. Chancellor, Mr. Wrucke, C. Bradley, L.

S. has become a highlight feature in the Spring Sports program. Lake titles in this sport have been floating in and out with the longest series being something like six or seven straight. With coach Ed Kernan at the helm, they have recently completed a fairly successful season. In the past, besides completion of the regular schedule, the Robins, spark-plugged by such prominent sports figures as Kae Nelson, Roger Schultz and Jim Plumerdahl, have par- ticipated in: the Invitational Meet at Carleton and the District Tournament along with numer- ous games with city schools.
