MR. EDWARD FOLTMER EDWARD F. FOLTMER MR. PAUL SCHROEDER Assistant Principal Consuming much time both in and out of school, the position of assistant principal is a difficult one. As assistant principal, Mr. Schroeder handles the discipline problems which directly concern our school. Supervision of attendance and tardiness records are also his responsibility. Handling registration of new students and preparing class schedules for these students are all time-consuming tasks. Contacting parents on school problems and disciplinary cases involves patience and understanding. The students will always find Mr. Schroeder ready patiently and constructively to help solve their problems. Mr. Schroeder, as well as Mr. Foltmer, were elevated from the teaching ranks in the Park system: evidence of the excellent work they have done in our school system. A graduate of Luther College in Iowa, Mr. Schroeder hails from the great corn state where men are men and boys take their football seriously. Mr. Schroeder is an avid sports fan; his spirit and enthusiasm has been reflected in the sports of which he has both participated and coached. We hope that he will remain in our school system for many years to come. Principal Sincerity, progressiveness, and efficiency describe Park's principal, Edward Foltmer. During his eleven years as principal, he has built up a great deal of respect from both students and faculty. He has, through his outstanding leadership, kept St. Louis Park's scholastic record one of the best in the state, as well as the nation. Ho has worked hard to make the school what it is today. Mr. Foltmer, as principal, guides the Student Council and directs the students in both curricular and extra-curricular activities. He is always willing to share his valuable time in conferences with faculty members or students. We hope that the excellent guidance shown by Mr. Foltmer will continue many more years and enable us as students to better prepare ourselves for the future. After undergraduate work at St. Cloud Teachers' College, he attended the University of Minnesota where he received his Master's Degree in Education. When not planning the subject programs for the coming year or fulfilling the other responsibilities of his very important office, he generally can be seen at the Friday night games, cheering the Orioles on to victory.

MR. HAROLD ENESTVEDT HAROLD R. ENESTVEDT Superintendent For the past ten years, the St. Louis Park School System has been under the capable direction of Mr. Harold Enestvedt. In this time, he has built up a great deal of respect and admiration from the community, school personnel, and student body. He has had a great responsibility providing for additional school buildings and hiring sufficient staffs to take care of the tremendous growth Park has had in the past few years. Six new schools have been built and three additions have been made since Mr. Enestvedt came here. His intelligence and qualifications are apparent in his Bachelor of Arts Degree from St. Olaf and Masters Degree from the University of Minnesota. Before Mr. Enestvedt came to Park, he was principal at Comfrey and Watson High Schools and superintendent of schools of Sleepy Eye, Sanborn, and Waseca, Minnesota. Outside of school, Mr. Enestvedt is kept busy as he plays on active part in several of the communities' organizations. He is a member of the Lion's Club, Chamber of Commerce, and the Shakespeare Club. He also enjoys fishing and golfing, and is an ardent fan of Park's teams. MR. CLIFFORD ANDERSON Administrative Assistant Working directly under Mr. Enestvedt is Mr. Clifford Anderson, administrative assistant to the superintendent. It is his job to help interview all prospective employees, attend and conduct research for board meetings, and also conduct research on activities of other schools throughout the country by corresponding with them. Mr. Anderson is now preparing the first written policy manual for the Board of Education and he prepares reports for the County Superintendent and the State Department of Education.

He held his first position as superintendent of schools in Pemperton and later transferred to Morgan and Slayton, Minnesota before coming to St. Louis Park. Fishing, hunting, golfing, and a little gardening are hobbies which keep Mr. Anderson very busy outside of school. Sports also interest him, and he is another one of the many fans of the Park Orioles. Besides being a great sportsman, Mr. Anderson is a Shriner, a member of the Rotary Club, and a member of a Masonic Lodge. 11 CLIFFORD E. ANDERSON
