Wabasha Kellogg High School - Warrior Yearbook (Wabasha, MN)

Text from Pages 1 - 58 of the 1960 volume:

FOREWORD ... , As the seniors of I960 go their separate ways, we know that the memory of their high school days will never be com-Ipletely obliterated. In this 1959-60 Warrior we have tried to provide a hand-book of moments which can never quite be recaptured. It is ‘ our desire that, as you leaf through these pages, you will I find snatches of happiness, moments of sorrow, and most of | all an unforgettable memory of these, the best days of you lives. The Warrior 1960 Staff Dedicated to Higher Education The questioning look on a child's face; the gentle patience of a teacher as he guides this child along the pathways of understanding; these are part of the system of education. Every human is born into this world with abilities to do many things, and each human has a mind that craves the knowledge that can coordinate these abilities to make him a useful member of society. Higher education is that process that gives the individual this knowledge to use for the benefit of man. Although the process of learning may at times seem prodigious and never-ending, may we never forget that education is the method by which free society prepares its individuals to take their place in that society. With a profound respect for those who, sincerely believing that higher education is a means to a better world, have devoted their lives to the task of leading the faltering footsteps of youth through the open doors of new and brighter horizons; we dedicate our Warrior 1960 to Higher Education. 3 Table of Contents CLASSES Page 5 Page 9 SENIORS Page 15 Page 21.

In the final year of the Whitewater League our Indians finished in fifth placn, Although the record was lopsided, most of the boys showed a great deal of aggressiveness and desire to win The highlight of the season came when Wabasha defeated a good Mazeppa team in the last five seconds of the game. The score was knotted at 66-66 with seven seconds remaining. The Indians called a time-put to stop the clock. The ball was thrown into Dan Larson, the best shot on the team, and he took a desperation shot from 25 feet out. Wabasha won 68-66. This was one of the most thrilling games ever played in ohr gymnasium. Our Team was well balanced this year with three men doing practically all of the scoring. They were Dan Larson (11.5 average points per game), Gary Hager (10.A), and Ed Malone (9). Terry O'Brien and Jim Webb did fine jobs on defense for Wabasha. Next year's team will miss the height and rebounding of seniors Ed Malone and Gary Wagner. Lettermen for the season were: Ed Malone, Gary Wagner, Bill Hughley, Terry O'Brien, Bill Loechler, Jim Webb, Jon Gilmore, Gary Hager, and Dan Larson. 22 Front Row- P. Zierdt, R. Carr, F.

Meschke, Coach The 1959-60 B squad, which began work in November as an untried unit, proved to be one of the most exciting teams to watch,that Wabasha has seen in recent years. During the 16 game schedule the Junior Indians won 8 and lost 8, In only one of the games that was dropped were the J. V. s ever out of the picture. Two games were won by about 20 points, but with these exceptions practically all of the games were close. In most of the games 4-6 points separated the teams. Out standing players were: Jim Concidine, Leroy Ekstrand, Joe Flies, Jon Gillmore, David Jones, and Fred Meurer. B Team 23 Front row: D. Wilcox, C. Grieves, W. Wagner, D. Jones, W. Bruegger, P.

Baseball In the opening game against Randolph the team went down to defeat 15 to 1 due to 14 errors. After this game, the team showed steady improvement and played some very good baseball. Succeeding games found them beating Mazeppa 19 to 3 and Eyota 7 to 3. This was followed by a heartbreaking 4 to 3 loss in 12 innings to conference champion, Goodhue. In the district play-offs, Wabasha defeated Mazeppa and then lost a well-played game to a very strong Winona team, 2 to 0. The highlight of the season was Terry O'Brien's rapidly improving pitching, which, at one stretch, saw him pitch 12 consecutive innings without allowing a hit.

During the season the team won a dual meet with Plamview, came in third in two quadrangular meets against strong competition, placed second in the conference meet behind Faribault Deaf, and took fifth place in the district which saw 14 schools competing. Individually, Terry O'Brien and Jim Webb were the pace setters. Terry in running the half-mile was not defeated until he reached the regional meet In this meet he placed fourth in the fine time of 2:07.9 seconds. Jim did a fine job in the dashes and the broad jump. In the broad jumps Jim was defeated onlv twice during t e year, one of these times being in the district competition where he placed third. In the conference meet Jim and Terry both set new records. Terry's was the half-mile in a time of 2:10.8 seconds and Jim's was the broad jump at 18' 10 3 4 . 25 Top row: L. Ekstrand, Mgr., W.

Our attack, which was centered around passing and a wide open style of play was definitely hindered by this bad weather. Our first game, which was with Alma, was played on the home field. Through an inability on our part to get the attack clicking , Alma won 6-0. Our next opponent was Lima. The entire team played a terrific game and we won 20-0. The next five games were losses. The scores were: St. Charles 30-0; Lewiston 33-7(through an infraction of the Minnesota High School Code; this game was later forfeited to us.); Plainview 40-14; Stewartville 21-0; and Eyota 6-0. Although we lost more games than we should have this year, the spirit of the team never lagged. 26 First row: K. Curdue, L. Boots, M. Quesenberry. Second row: D. Larson, M. Schuth, B. Burkhardfc, S.

Here, at any hour of the day or night, could come people who are quiet and sensible on the surface, but who are stormy and violent on the inside. In the Bell School they could let their feelings run ri0t Dr. Bell used freely the techniques of group dynamics and psychodrama, helping his students to talk out and act out their frustrations and disappointment. Psychologist Bell had a personal stake in the proceedings, too. His daughter Merry was fond of a university student, Melvin Stoddard. Under the influence of the school, Melvin threw off his inhibitions and reverted to his childhood urges. Melvin's aunt, Kaye Ryan, finally trapped the elusive psychologist in his own sickbed psychomotor drama. The play was presented on April 7, 1960, by the Senior class. The cast included : Merry Bell...........Carol Klas Mrs. Kaye Ryan. .Diane Timmsen Eadie Setzer- -Merraine Peters Dr. Solomon Bell- John Rollins Melvin Stoddard • -Robert Carr Beaver Williams -Roger Jones Greta Jones - • - • Alice Klas John Bedford Judson -Jim Meyer Velvet Skinner. . .

Their episodes with the twins, the cop on the beat, the neighbors, and door-to-door salesmen made an already confused household sheer bedlam. These glimpses of utter confusion added up to an enjoyable evening of entertainment, a good play, and a well-done job by our zany Junior class. The cast was as follows: Julie Butler. . . .

Penny played havoc with the family routine her boyfriend s intentions, and the all important tennia tournament which she was supposed to enter with Kerry, Greg, and Joanna. When Kerry and Greg plotted to disillusion Penny, the result was a rollicking comedy well worth seeing. The cast included: Sally.............................Ann Hammer Norman Porter ................

Coaches Ayotte and Meschke also shared a few well chosen words with us. Friday night the score of the football game with Plainview was 40 to 14 in Plain-view favor. Immediately following the game, coronation ceremonies were held in the high school auditorium. Robbie Carr presided as Master of Ceremonies as the Queen candidates walked down the aisle with their escorts--Eleanor Guethlein with Jim Meyer, Deloris Graner with Jan Carr, Shirley Anding with Gary Wagner, Shirley Lichtblau with Ed Malone, and Carol Klas with Rodney Rabe. The Queen, Shirley Lichtblau, was crowned by her sister Gerri Lichtblau, the 1958 Homecoming Queen, and was presented with a bouquet of red roses and a bracelet by her escort Ed Malone.

Which one of the Seniors could be riding in that? Why, it's that famous basketball coach, Ed Malone. Won't you say a few words to our audience, Ed? What? What did you say? You'd like to but you're stuck? One of you boys help Ed out, will you? Wait a minute, ladies and gentlemen! Someone is crawling out of the trunk! Why, that's Jan Carr. Tell me, Jan, why were you in the trunk? Oh, I see. You are used to pushing people around. Just a second, ladies and gentlemen, I hear sirens! Why, it's a jeep with a police escort! It's that famous Army general, Tim Longley! (For those of you who don't remember, General Long-ley is in charge of the rocket division down at Cape Canaveral.) General, would you tell us some of our latest acheivements? You say the U.S. has just sent a manned rocket to Venus? Tell me, General, who were the men? None other than our own Robbie Carr, Jerry Harney, and Donald Huth? General, why were these men chosen? You 8ay Robbie Carr was always a little high and you didn't think a little more would hurt him? And you say Jerry and Don are the only things we have that Russia didn't claim to have first? What did you say. General? Oh, the famous rocket expert, Roger Jones, said he regrets that he can't attend our reunion? That is too bad. Now pulling up in a shiny black Cadillac is none other than the owner of a chain of candy stores, Ken the candy man Mickow. Tell me, Ken, how is business? Oh, you miss the little set-up in the boy's locker room? Yes, I suppose that does hurt a little. Other than that, how are things going? You say you're having trouble with your hired help, Ronnie Funk, Joe Hille-sheim, and Gary Wagner? You say they are a bunch of dumb clucks? Oh--clerks! What seems to be the trouble? When those two famous bubble dancers, Mar jean Burfeixid and Pat Ferraro, come in, they all drop their work and start flirting? I can't really blame them. Now walking up the walk of their old Alma Mater are Miss Foley's replacements,Shirley Licht-blau and Deloris Graner; and following behind them is the new principal. Bob Jensen. He says he had been in Mr. Boots' office so many times he started to like it--it's a sort of home away from home. Now arriving in helicopter are those stars of television, John Bruegger, John Rollins, and Eugene Marking, better known as the Three Stooges. And speaking of stars, here comes that handsome movie star, Rodney Valentino, better known to his old friends as Rodney Rabe. And following behind him is the world-famous hair stylist, Janet Maiwald. Well, we certainly are meeting a lot of celebrities, here come the stars of the coast-to-coast television show, Keep Talking , Carol Klas, Judy Funk, and Diane Timmsen. They're staying at the home of the wealthy farmer, Merraine Peters Marking. Now coming down the walk are those two inseparable friends, Eleanor Guethlein and JoAnn Lanches. They've got a job in Donald Thoe's Amusement Park as a pair of professional gigglers in the funhouse. Now here comes that famous singing team of Jim Eddy and Loretta McDonald, better known to their friends as Jim Meyer and Loretta Pagel. And finally here comes the famous ballerina, Shirley Andlng. I always said that girl was on her toes. Well, it looks like everyone from the old c}ass of '60 has arrived; so this is your announcer, David Wayne, saying Goodnight and Good.luck. 38 The Last Will And Testament We, the Seniors of 1960, being of sound body and sick mind, do hereby make, declare, and publish this, our Last Will and Testament.

Class History It was in September 1947 that a very special group of children entered the Kindergarten department of Wabasha High School. These were the eight children that made up the original Senior class. They were: John Bruegger, Jan Carr, Robbie Carr, Carol Klas, JcAnn Lanches, Ed Malone, and Gary Wagner. From the very beginning this class strove to be original. One example was the play they presented in the Kindergarten class entitled Billy Goat Gruff . John Bruegger starred in this production as the Bumble Bee. We added a new member to our class in the first grade, the very handsome and debonair Roger Jones. It was that year the student's personalities started to show. Carol Klas would always fall from her chair during reading period. Incidentally, Carol was the class sweetheart. In the second grade, our class again did something original. This was the year we started the Tonette chorus. And again more of the student personalities began to show; Robbie Carr was icanght cheating during a spelling test. In the third grade, our class got a new class sweetheart , Diane Timmsen. (Poor Diane didn't know what she was getting into)• During the fourth grade we kept our noses pretty close to the grindstone. In the fifth grade, three new students Joined our class. They were Eleanor Guethlein, Tim Long Ley, and Pat Ferraro, In the grade school Easter operetta Jim Meyer played the Big Bad Wolf. During the sixth grade year, we started a United Nations Club and were busy memorizing poetry for our Mothers Day program. The next year there was a complete change in everyone. The boys slicked down their hair, and the girls started to wear lipstick. During that year Merraine Peters and Rodney Rabe joined our class of mischief makers. School was fairly normal during the eighth grade. In the ninth grade nine new students joined our class. They were: Shirley Anding, Marjean Burfeind, Ronnie and Judy Funk, Joe Hlllesheim, Dorm aid Huth, Ken Mickow, Loretta Pagel, John Rollins, and David Wayne. These students, plus Deloris Graner, Jerry Harney, Shirley Lichtblan, and Janet Malwald, who came in the tenth grade, just about made up our graduating class. In the fall of our Junior year, Donald Thoe joined; our class was complete. During this year we presented a three-act comedy untitled Don't Take My Penny which proved to be a huge success. In the spring we started to decorate for the Junior-Senior Prom SayonaraV'.' During our final year at good old WHS we brought many new things to our Halls of Ivy ; an uncrowned Homecoming queen, two political parties - Modernists and Futurists , dress-up days, and skits during pep-fests, just to name a few. On June 3 we were officially graduated, and as we accepted our diplomas with mist in our eyes, we looked back through the years to the memories of our school days with fond sadness. Wa all agreed these were the happiest, most care-free days we had ever known. But as we cross over the threshold of our new life , we will always try to remember oar clAss motto, Anything Is Possible to the Willing Mind . 40 Pront row: R. Carr, J. Funk, P. Ferraro, E.
