Bloomington High School - Bear Yearbook (Bloomington, MN)

Text from Pages 1 - 68 of the 1950 volume:

DEDICATION The 1950 graduation class of Bloomington hereby dedicates its first yearbook to John Kolesar. Mr. Kolesar, who was a teacher and coach at Bloomington for 19 years, passed away December 11, 1949, after months of illness. During his coaching career at Bloomington Mr. Kolesar had championship teams in football in 1938, '40, '44, and '46, and in baseball in 1945 and '47. His basketball teams, although not always winners, had a fighting spirit that was hard to match. His fun-loving character won him friends among all the students that knew him. Although Mr. Kolesar will bd missed, we feel sure his memory will linger on with the qualities he instilled into the hearts of all of us. 1 2 hcul ry L. H.

CHAMPIONS! BLOOMINGTON CAPTURES VALLEY CONFERENCE CROWN After a very successful season the boys emerged with an undefeated, untied record, to be the first team in Bloomington history to achieve this honor. The conference honored Bloomington by placing five men on the All-Conference team. It consisted of Charles Cummings, Ross Olson, Pat McDonald, Tom Mann, and Neal Johnson. Shakopee and University High, strong rivals for the valley crown, finished the season in second and third places respectively. The coaching position left vacant by the illness of Mr. Kolesar was filled very efficiently by Mr. Molosky, a graduate and freshman coach for two years at St. Thomas college. Although the team will be losing eleven seniors next year's team may be fairly good. 29 light Wins In Eight Starts NO. ... OSSEO 52 - 0 The Osseo game started a season of play under our new coach. After a grueling pre-season practice the boys were ready to commence with an undefeated season and began by “Laying the Wood” to Osseo 52-0. NO. 2... UNIVERSITY HIGH 14-7 This game started out with Bloomington scoring on a pass from Cummings to Amell. University High tallied one and converted, but the stronq line and backfield of Bloomington care through and won 14-7. NO. 3... DEEPHAVEN 39-0 The Deephaven game was played at Excelsior and the Bloomington eleven again came through with a marginal victory. The game was sparked with the drive of Chuck Cummings at the full back position. NO. 4... WACONIA 27- 12 Bloomington came through with its third conference win. The lack of reserve strength was evident in this game. Coach Molosky let the second team play, but had to return the first sauad to the field to quell the Waconia rally. The first team's hard hitting in the line brought the game through to victory. NO. 5... WATERTOWN 68 - 0 This game was played on the Shakopee field. It was the tune-up for the championship battle the following week with Shakopee. The Bears were an aggressice group that night and Watertown became an easy win. NO. 6... HOMECOMING, SHAKOPEE 13-0 On October 14. 1949. Shakopee played the Bears fo rthe championship. It was the biggest event in Bloomington High School athletics. Everyone who saw the game will never forget it. The Bears had gone along winning every game. Shakopee had done the same in league play, but had one tie with a non-conference team. These two school who are traditional rivals were to meet for the second time in a battle for glory. Last year Shakopee had emerged the victor but the tide was to change. Johnny Kolesar, Bloomington's previous coach was ill but was given permission to attend. The feeling of the school was win for two great guys: Mr. Kolesar and Mr. Molosky.” The tension was at its peak, and the game that was to follow was later described by Mr. Molosky as one of the hardest hitting high school games he had ever seen. Shakopee lost five players by injuries as the boys hit hard and fair. Many came to the game with the idea of seeing a rough and tumble game but the clockwork by which it went off should have shown the superiority of the Bloomington eleven. The first score was made when Cummings face-kicked and scored and the game was clinched when Ondich scored on a pass, the final attempt to convert was good and the final score stood 13-0. NO. 7... CHASKA 24 - 6 This was to be the final game of the conference. Only non-conference Edina was left unplayed. It was caining and a miserable day for play. The boys were still tired from the hard game with Shakopee and a definite let down could be noticed. Chaska. who was playing their homecoming, fought val-iently but the final score showed them behind 24-6. NO. 8... EDINA 32-0 This was the last game the senior boys were to play together. The boys had the urge to really have fun. The spirit that was missing the week before was back. Edina, even under the influence of playing their homecoming game, was no match for the hard-hitting line and fast stepping back-field of the Bears. Edina, a new team to the district. was supposed to give Bloomington a hard game, but it was easy to tell who was superior when Bloomington came through winning 32-0. 30 Bob Kobs Pat McDonald Ross Olson Dwayne Wise Dick Wagaman Tom Mann Chuck Cummings George Cummings Coach Molosky Neal Johnson CHAMPIONS!

BEARS WIN MINNESOTA VALLEY CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP The Bloomington 1949-50 basketball season turned out very successfully as the Bears’ came through with 13 wins and one loss record in conference play. The Bears” lost one non-conference qame to St. Paul Washington 43-41, and in conference play a greatly improved Deephaven five upset them 39-36 in the second game between them of the season. The highest scorer was Pat McDonald with 209 points. Pat also had the best game average which was 10.5. Three of the players were given allconference honors. They were Pat McDonald, forward; Chuck Cummings, guard; and Tom Mann, guard. Ross Olson acquired the honor of the most valuable player. Bob Kobs, center, will be the only member back from the starting five. Second place in the Valley Conference was taken by Chaska and third place by Eden Prairie. In the district playoffs. Bloomington edged Mound 48-47 in the first qame and in the second game. Hopkins dominated an 39-31 victory over the Bears” which ended the very successful season. The highest individual scoring in one game was 23 points which was accomplished by Chuck Cummings. Tom Mann scored the most free-throws in one game and set a new conference record of 13 straight. There are six seniors graduating from the squad, so next year's team will be rather unpredictable. The second team, which lost but one game, will help build another team. 35 Bob Kobs Pot McDonald THE FIRST FIVE Chuck Cummings Ross Olson Tom Mann 36 B” squad—Top row—Phil Johnson. Gene Wise.

Mixed Chorus CHORAL MUSIC The simultaneous advonts of Mrs. Mendenhall and the five-day practice week in 1948 really brought choral music into its own at Bloomington. The first annual Christmas program and the first annual Spring Serenade, along with appearances at commencement, baccalaureate. Memorial Day services, and award day. marked a very successful year's‘work. Glee Club girls who had been chosen for their voices, reading ability, and conduct, os a nucleus for the Mixed Chorus came back to school with high hopes for the new organization. Tryouts for tho boys were completed ond soon everyone was hard at work on music for the Christmas program—tho group's first public appoarance. The Junior Glee Club, which also made its debut at the Christmas program, was organized in September. 1949, to give eighth and ninth grade girls a chance for an extracurricular activity and an opportunity to learn the ‘funda- mentals of group singing. These girls have only an hour's practice each week and are singinq music which is as difficult as that done by the Senior Gleo Club last year. The members of the Nonetto are Marie Mottson, Mary Savidgo. Carol Skolton, Virginia Charland, Mary Lennon. Virginia Simmons, Muriel Drongeson, Donna Pahl, and Barbara Swenson. Tho members of the Boys' Glee Club are Charles Bungert. Jim Petersen. Jerry Pearson. Delbert May, Joss© Lindall, Fred Faber, Woyne Williams. Charles Trank, Don Simmons. Bob Wilkie. David Maxson. Noel Knudson, Eugone Davidian and Max Dondersgoed. These two groups are the smallest of the choral department. In addition to the Christmas and spring concerts and the other customary public appearances, two radio broadcasts were made. One of these was a half-hour program presented by tho Senior Glee Club, Chorus, Nonette. ond Octette. Because such a large number of the members are soniors, we hopo that better scheduling of classes will permit participation by more students, so that ooch succeeding year will build on the preceding yoar's work. 39 Top row: (Left to right) Robert Brown.

Bloomington High School Band In 1937, with the organization of a school orchestra under the direction of Mr. Melum, began one of Bloomington's most important extra-curricular activities. The band gives two concerts each year in addition to playing at footbal and basketball games, pep fests, and various other ac1ivities. Each year the band plays at the District rmsic festival and in the Massed Band. The ratings have improved from a D in 1940 to an A in 1748. This A rating meant a trip to the state contest where the band also received an A'. One of the most important events in the life of the band was the arrival of new uniforms in 1948. Not only the band members, their parents, and Miss Lehman, but the whole school and community worked hard through paper sales, a magazine drive, and other money-raising projects in order that the band might have real uniforms for the first time in its history. We know that because of the large number of children now participating in the Junior Band, there will be a continued and growing interest in the Band and its activities throughout each succeeding year. 40 Saxophone Quartet (Left to r ghtj: Noel Knudson, Eddio Kuni, Dave Ma«son.

This district tournament was held at Hopkins on February 4th. Fred Faber and Don Campbell made up the negative team and Eugene Davidian and Adrian Gibson were on the affirmative. Individual ratings ran high. Adrian won the highest individual rating with fifty-five points. He was awarded 22 out of a possible 25 points in the third round.

Two newly weds. June and Jimmy Blake, played by Donna Johnson and Eugene Davidian. came to stay at the hotel. Aftor finding it to be haunted, they decided to try to unravel the mystery. Being newly weds, they furnished quite an interesting time. The excitement started when the lights went out, hands appoared from nowhere, and people disappeared completely. With the addition of the lady in blue, the plot thickened. The mystery was finally cleared up with entirely unsuspected people being the cause of it. Mr. and Mrs. Carter, played by Jerry Paul and Barbara Carlisle, -along with their accomplice. Dippy, played by Charles Burrtjert, were placed in jail. Flora Fish and Dr. Meek, played by Eva Deterling and Eddie Kunz. were reunited in their long lost romance. Carole West and Christopher Sullivan, played by Pat Neal and Grant Gilderhus. got together also. Oak Knoll , once more beeamo a respectable hotel and the people involved went back to their regular daily events. Extras ................ - - - Clare Christensen Doris Franklin. Gene Wise. David Matson The play opened with Linda Howard, played by Mary Lennon, worrying whether or not she would become home-coming queen. This all depended on Linda passing her chemistry examination. Betty Warren, played by Carol Skelton, changed Linda's paper to a failing grade, making her ineligible to become queen while, at the same time, making it possible for her to take Linda's place. The scenes following were spent getting Linda to retake her examination and become the college queen. Algernon Higgens. played by Donald Simmons, was engaged to help her. This had to be done in Linda's room since there was no other place. Because it was against the rules to have boys in the girls dormitory, Algernon was dressed up like a girl and almost caught. Betty Warren was exposed and the truth came out. Thanks to Billy Drake, played by Frank Bramhall, and Algernon's quick thinking and acting,' none were expelled from school. Linda became homecoming queen, and Betty received her due punishment both before and after homecoming. 1. Yeh team, Let's go! 2. Get out of the way! 3. Will it make it? 4. Johnny lost the ball. 5.
