THE SENIORS OF 1964 PRESENT Behind the Scenes with BLACK BLACKDUCK BLACKDUCK, t h e QUILL HIGH SCHOOL MINNESOTA FOREWORD To us, Blackduck High School means progress— a symbol of happy hours spent in study, work, activities, and joyful associations; this is where we learn to live, and live to learn. To others, this Black Quill is intended to give a conception of our lives at Blackduck High School—how we work, study, and play. To preserve a record of these moments and the countless other experiences of you and your classmates, this annual strives to capture eyes and mind of the scholarship, the leadership, the activities, and the character of Blackduck High School. Therefore, the yearbook staff sincerely hopes that this ex- posure to our school living will serve as a basis for enjoyment and appreciation in later years and will serve to broaden us as indi- viduals in the modern world. Appropriately, this year's Black Quill has chosen as its theme—Behind the Scenes at BHS.

We are lucky to have so many students willing to work hard and we wish them success. They also perforn for P.T.A., at concerts, and for the student body. Leusche, Gorden STAGE BAND Sitting! Thorbrogger, Baltes, V. Goltz, Palmer, Gulseth, Lien, Standing: Jensen, Lindquist, Lueck, Lausche, V istey, J. Goltz, Gladen The Stage Band , a non-profit organization, has played for many of the high school dances Mr. Hanson started this group last year having only nine mem- bers at that time. The Stage Band has grown to thirteen. David Palmer and Larry Gulseth play cornets; Janis Thorbrogger, Judy Baltes and Verna Goltz play clarinets; Jean Jensen and Janis Lindquist play soprano sax; Gary Lueck on the tenor sax; Barry Wistey and Jim Goltz play trombones; Dave Lausche on the bass horn; Helen Gladen is the accompanist; with Herbie Lien on the drums. They performed at the Squaw Lake PTA in January and were invited to play at a Jaycee sponsored dance at Walker, Minnesota on February 14, 1964« There are various types of music that they play, but most of it is fast- moving. Playing in the group is indeed an honor and it enables the players to associ- ate with students in other schools. Row Is Manthei, Cox, Swanson, Beier, Christenson, Engberg, E. Cross, P.

The Band has added a tenor saxophone this year and plan to secure more instruments in the future. Two money-making events that the students work on are the Pishing Derby and the Magazine Drive. The Fishing Derby, held on Blackduck Lake January 19th this year, was very successful. The Band Parents helped in the Derby along with the students. 3y getting a cut of one-third net gain, the Band has an added incentive to work hard on the Magazine Drive. The members sell nationally known publications to the towns people and people from the surrounding areas. The Band puts on many concerts throughout the year, plays at the football and basketball games, and marches in the annual Blackduck parades. CLARINET SOLOISTS Spencer, Thorbrogger, Baltes Row 1: T.

Anderson JUNIOR HIGH BAND The Junior High Chorus met every Tuesday and Thursday noons this year, under the direction of Mrs. Fillbrandt. These young people sang at concerts and participated in the annual Christmas program. One main purpose of this group is to prepare good singers for the Senior High Chorus. Once a week, Wednesday noon, there were amny varied sounds that emerged from the band room. Mr. Hanson was showing new techniques to the Junior High Band. The goal for these members was to become good enough to join the Con- cert Band and through this session they were able to practice with their fel- low players. They have performed in several concerts throughout the year. Directors: Mr. Hanson and Mrs. Fillbrandt BEHIND THE SCENES with ACTIVITIES 1963 1964 Seated: Jensen, S.

Seitz, Kroeger, Burk, Gorden, Spencer, Cross, Gladen, Rudquist STUDENT COUNCIL HOSTS CONVENTION Student Councils are fundamentally important to the secondary schools of our nation, and they are important for compelling reasons The prime purpose of American education is to train for citizenship—and the development of good citizens requires a direct relation between knowledge and practice It makes little sense to study the theory of effective citizenship without actual experience which illustrates and supports the theory. The Student Council is to a student of citizenship what a laboratory i3 to a student of chemistry. The Blackduck Student Council began the 1o6$-6b school year by electing to the offices of President, David Palmer; Vice-president, Lee Simmons; Secretary, Wes Seitz; and Treasurer, Neil Anderson. The Council immediately began to prepare the program for the northern Divi- sion of Student Councils Convention, which was held in Blackduck on September 28, 19 5« Blackduck was elected to the President post and site school of the Northern Division two years ago at the last Convention in Demidji. 31ackduck!s big event involved twenty-six Minnesota schools and two hundred students and advisors. The following was the program for the Convention: 9:00-10:00 Registration and social hour 10:00-10:50 First general session 10:50-11:15 Talent show 11:15-12:15 Discussion groups 12:15- 1:00 Dinner 1:00- 2:00 Discussion groups 2:00- 5:00 Second general session During the business meeting Thief River Falls was elected to be the President school of the Northern Division for the 198 —65 season. Because of the co-operation shown by Blackduck Council members and students, the Blackduck Convention was termed a huge success by the Stu- dent Council advisor Lloyd Cox. The Northern Division Convention generated great interest among Blackduck students and provided them with an excellent opportunity for learning more about their Student Council13 purposes and activities.

Membership is, however, more then an honor; it carries with it a responsibility and should be considered the beginning of an obligation, not merely the successful culmination of an effort to achieve recognition and honor. Once selected for membership, a student is singled out. He should not only continue to de- monstrate those outstanding qualities which brought about his selection, but he should also exert a new influence to improve conditions about him and promote those qualities, Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service, for which the National Honor Society stands. Character: Good character, perhaps the most important prerequisite of an intelligent, well- rounded citizen, may be defined as the combination of qualities favorably distinquishing any particular individual. In other words, how one acts as well as feels, on such issues as mor- als and honesty determine, to a very large extent, one's character. Strength of character has a great influence over the weaker-willed, and those who have this quality are not adverse to criticism, but to the contrary, welcome it as an opportunity to overcome their own faults. Character is the quality that makes great men famous, because in the end they are judged by what they are more than what they should have done. Scholarship: Scholarship is the love of learning, the search for truth. Mixed with wisdom and understanding it is one path leading toward world peace. Nothing so much as an earnest endeavor to learn opens the way to the knowledge and wisdom of others, to an understanding appreciation of the efforts, the mistakes, the joys, and the sorrows of mankind. Scholarship is within the reach of everyone, but he who desires it must earn it by putting forth hard and tireless effort. But the time and money spent in obtaining an education v ill return with manifold blessings. Leadership: Leadership, in order to benefit mankind, must preceed from unselfish motives, from strong character, and from a self-informed mind. It requires constant denial of self, a genuine affection for mankind, and an abiding trust in God. The peace and prosperity of the world, and the salvation of mankind from itself, are in the leader's hands. In, youth, the leaders of our own world today, lies the hope of the world's tomorrow along the Pathway to Peace. Service: In traveling down this last pathway toward our goal of peace, it becomes necessary to give a part of oneself in Service. To live the fullest life we cannot live for ourselves alone. Good Scholarship, fine Character, and inspiring Leadership may each find itself lack- ing in some small part if Service is not added to them. Nov is the time when we need men and women who can rise above everyday matters and serve both God and man unselfishly. Upper Right: David Palmer, Ann McNeil, and Janis Thorbrogger were elected to the Society in their Junior year, 1962- 65. Center Right: Jim Goltz, Lee Simmons, Christy Anderson, and Judy Shingler were elected in their Senior year, 1965-64« Lower Right: Juniors elected in the I965-64 school year were Jean Costello, Donovan Graham, Helen Gladen, and Diane Goodwin. We salute these students who have dis- tinguished themselves in the eyes of their fellowmen. May they ever live up to the four ideals - Character, Scholar- ship, Leadership, and Service - for which they were recognized in high school through election to membership in the National Honor Society Seated: Shaw, Falk, C.

In this first game of the year, Blackduck gained 220 yards rushing. Berg, Palmer, and C. Simmons, who had two TD’s, scored for the Drakes. Scoring 1J points in each of the third and fourth quarters, the Blackduck Drakes recorded their second victory of the year with a 26-0 victory over the Xelliher Dragons Again the Drakes gained 220 yards on the ground with Thorbrogger get- ting 100 of the yards. A touchdown apiece by Palmer and C. Simmons; and two by Thorbrogger were all the Drakes needed. The Drakes captured their first victory in the Northern Lites Conference with a 14-0 conquest of the Walker Warriors. D. Anderson and Thorbrogger scored the Drakes touchdowns. Blackduck took their fourth straight victory with a 20-0 thrashing of the Pine River Tigers. This victory helped the team's morale, as Pine River had defeated the Drakes 40-0 the year before. Jim Steinberg blocked a punt in the end zone for one score, and Thorbrogger and C. Simmons each had one. Blackduck had their running shoes on in their fifth contest of the year, a3 they shellacked the Cass Lake Panthers, J4-0. The Drakes gained 5 4 yards on the ground, led by Thorbrogger s 188 and Steinberg’s 68 total yards. Thorbrogger crossed the final stripe three times, Palmer once, and Larry Gulseth sophomore, had one Blackduck overwhelmed the Pequot Lake Indians 21-6 in a conference game. The touchdown that the Indians scored on the Drakes was the first one that anyone had scored on Blackduck. Gulseth ran a punt back for 80 yards and one score, Thorbrogger and Palmer had the other two. Blackduck was defeated by the Littlefork-Big Falls Vikings 40-6 for the Drakes first setback of the year. The Vikings dominated the game in the first quarter and were off and running before Blackduck could start moving. Steinberg scored the Drakes only tally The Clearbrook Hornets defeated the Blackduck Drakes in a major upset in the Northern Lites with a 6-0 triumph. Clearbrook scored early in the first period for their only score; and when the Drakes were on the move, time ran out on them. The Drakes won their last game of the year with a 26-6 victory over arch-rival Northome. This victory gave the Drakes a 5-2 conference record and 7-2 overall. KING FRANKIE QUEEN MA RIL TN HOMECOMING ROYALTY King Frankie and Queen Marilyn Retiring Queen Ksthy and King Darry Seated: Fellows, Page, Shingler Standing: Thorbrogger, Mistic, Seitz Friday, September 20, being the chosen Homecoming date, was a day of bustling activity throughout the school halls. In the afternoon the cheerleaders staged an hour long pep fest. The gym walls carried the slogan Cage the Tigers , and a large, stuffed tiger in a cage was suspended from the ceil- ing. The sophomores opened the traditional skits with their cand- idates, Susan Page and Frankie Mistic. Following them were the juniors, represented by Marilyn Fellows and Bob Thor- brogger. The last skit was given by the seniors, backing Judy Shingler and David Palmer. Wes Seitz the original king candidate had to drop out due to conflict with his part-time job. A beautiful fall night set the scene for our Homecoming game against Pine River, as the Drakes rolled into play undefeat- ed. They remained this way, overpoewering the Tigers 20-0. The victorious night was topped off by a dance in the gym, which was decorated in our school colors - maroon and gold, and the cornation ceremony. It proved a surprising evening as a spilt vote showed Marilyn Fellows, Junior, crowned Queen and Sophomore Frankie Mistic crowned King of the I963- 64 school year. Their crowns are displayed along with gold name tags in the trophy case throughout the school year.

There are 15 lettemen com- ing back for another good year. Coach George Thorbrogger 3aid, Our pitching problems will be lessened (we hope) with the addition of Tom Kroeger. This was the weak point of the team last year. And the catching problem may be solved with Bobby Hengtes behind the plate. Other new possibilities are Frankie Mistic and Tom Moon. The team's returning veterans are last year's captain Bobby Thorbrogger, Conrad Berg, Dave Hansen, Darry Anderson, Dick Jacobson, Larry Gulseth, Lee Simmons, Chuck Simmons, Jim Swanson, Dave Lausche, Jim Steinberg, Jim Gorden, and Dennis Grace. The schedule will be drawn up according to the weather, but with the new baseball diamond the possibilities of starting practice early will be much better. SHERRY SWANSON ANN MeNEIL CHEERLEADERS NITA SWANSON Mrs. Lindberg, girls' physical education instructor and cheerleader advisor, seleoted the five A team and four B team cheerleaders. Sherry Swanson was picked as the cheerleading captain and Kathleen Huffman as secretary. Ann McNeil, Diane Goodwin, and Nita Swanson were the other A team cheerleaders chosen. The cheerleaders sponsored the Homecoming Dance, which was decorated with maroon and gold streamers. The theme wasi 'Cage the Tigers', because a stuffed tiger in a cage was hang- ing from the ceiling to represent the defeated Pine River team. The cheerleaders decided to buy Homecoming King and Queen crowns this year and place them in the trophy case with the name of the King and Queen engraved on small gold plackets. The cheerleaders were also busy selling popcorn as one of their money making projects to pay for the B team cheerleaders uniforms. The Black Quill Staff wishes to commend the cheerleaders on their performances.

Plans were under way for the Junior Class Play, One Foot In Heaven, by Hartzell Spence. Gary Ashley was the student director with Jim Gregg as his assistant. Mr. Stephani, a Junior class advisor, produced the play. Later in the year the Juniors plan to give a melodrama. It will be: The Farmer s Daughter or Sally and the Villian, with Jean Costello as Sally It seems that the Juniors have an uncanny tact for maintaining their class as royalty. In the past they have had several carnival princesses; Kathleen Huffman, seventh grade; Pam Vohs, eighth grade; and Marilyn Fellows, ninth grade. In their sophmore year Sandy Bower was the Carnival Queen. But the Juniors didn t stop there. Darry Anderson was chosen Homecoming King that same year. Last fall Marilyn Fellows was Homecoming Queen, of 1965. At the Sweetheart Ball Bob Thorbrogger and Marilyn Fellows were elected the Sweetheart King and Queen. The Seniors of 1964 extend their warmest wishes to the Juniors and remind them th? t tneir school years are the best years of their lives. Good luck, kids! Row 1: B.

We were now con- sidered as 'high school students' and we thought that we were pretty important. In seventh grade we were introduced to the competitiveness of Blackduck High. The Carnival I We elected Linda Ness as our Princess candidate. We may have lost-but we weren't defeated, yeti Our class officers for that year were Linda Ness, president; Lee Simmons, vice presi- dent; and James Dorr, secretary-treasurer. In eighth grade we elected Ann McNeil as our Car- nival candidate; and, once again, we went down without winning. Our class officers for that year were: Lee Simmons, president; Linda Ness, vice president; Janis Thorbrogger, secretary; and Ann McNeil, treasurer. On out Freshmen year we once again tried for the Carnival crown with Connie Davidson as our Princess candidate. Officers that year were: Linda Ness, presi- dent; Connie Davidson, vice president; Donna Shaw, secretary; and Doug Dexter, treasurer. The Class of 651 gave us our first official party of our high school days; a Masquerade Party. Prizes were given for the best costume, with Sherry Swanson and Willard Shaw winning. We gave the Class of 65 a picnic out at Pine Tree State Park. We shall all remember that cool day I Our Freshmen year was filled with eager anticipation. We elected Chuck Simmons and Linda Ness as our Homecoming candidates. For our skit we illustrated Nursery Rhymes. In our Sophomore year, we had a Scavenger Hunt for the Class of 65 . And the Freshmen in re- turn gave us a picnic. Once agajn it was cold I We elected Janis Thorbrogger as our Carnival Queen and Sherry Swanson and Mike Drown were our Homecoming candidates. Class officers for that year were: Jean Jensen, president; Fatty Swanson, vice president; Sherry Swanson, secretary; and Lee Simmons, treasurer. Ten girls and five boys were chosen to be waitresses and waiters at the Junior-Senior From. Those who served were: Linda Ness, Darlene Crawford, Sherry Swanson, Judy Shingler, Jean Jensen, Christy Anderson, Fat Swanson, Ann McNeil, Jar.is Thorbrogger, Connie Davidson, David Falmer, Parry Wistey, Lee Simmons, Jim Goltz, and Mike Brown. Our class officers were: Janis Thorbrogger, president; Lee Simmons, vice president; Judy Shingler, secretary; and David Palmer, treasurer. Sherry Swanson was our Carnival Queen can- didate and Lee Simmons and Adele Smith were our Homecoming candidates. Vi'e were busy making preparations for the Junior-Senior Prom. The theme was 'The Roaring 20 s.1 To us, we felt that the Prom was a huge success and everyone seemed to.be having a good time. In our Junior year David Palmer and Janis Thorbrogger were chosen to attend the 196? Boys' State and Girls' State respectively. Lee Simmons and Judy Shingler were their alternates. Also that year David Palmer, Janis Thorbrogger, and Ann McNeil became members of the National Honor Society. Under the direction of Mr. J. Graff, our Junior class play was January Thaw . Ann McNeil was the student director. It snowed the night that we presented our play. Our final year is upon us and with much regret we look back on our school days together. We can never forget our teachers, and most of all we cannot forget our classmates. We have been through a lot together and have enjoyed all our good times. As we go out into the competi- tive world we will find life much harder and a little more trying. But with perseverance and a good attitude, each of us will make his mark in society. Wes Seitz heads our class and Barry Wistey is vice president. Judy Shingler is secretary and Lee Simmons is class treasurer. David Palmer and Judy Shingler were our Homecoming candi- dates. Lee Simmons, Judy Shingler, Christy Anderson, and Jim Goltz were elected to the National Honor Society this year. We are all looking forward to graduation; it is then that our high school days together will be over. As we look back over these pages of our Black Quill, we will find much warmth and enlightment. May God continue to bless each of us as we go our seperate ways, and may He lead us in His paths of righteousness. Christ be with you I LOIS OS 1946 - 1962 'tie are missing from this year's graduating class one dear friend - Lois Ostlund. Her untimely death in January of 1962, the year that we were sophomores in high school, greatly shocked us all. One knew when Lois was around; her laughter rang through the halls, and her kind, warm smile appealed to everyone. Her consideration for others, inner glow, and loyalty touched each and everyone of us. Lois' interest in a nursing career showed her willingness to help others. She was closely associated with her church and held the position of President in Luther League. She is greatly missed by those who knew and loved her.
