They will walk with Joe, a typical student, as he wanders through our halls, sometimes to classes, other times aimlessly, but always having a good time and finally graduating with the knowledge that he has gained a real foundation for his later life as a first class American citizen. Joe and his fellow workers, the 1954 Bear staff, hope that this volume will accurately picture their brief stay at Bloomington High School. 4 The Senior Class of 1954 takes this occa dedicate the current Bear to Art Coop thirty-two years friend and neighbor to pupils in Bloomington High School. Cooper, the class wishes the finest------ always be on Hand to greet us when we re tt High School Annuals serve to record the events of high school days for enjoyment following graduation. The Bear is no exception and what is gratifying to me is its constant improvement. The 1954 annual staff is to be congratulated on a job well done. May all of our students learn to treasure the 1954 Bear. Many a half-forgotten pleasantry of bygone high school days is brought vividly to mind by a perusal of the yearbook. Congratulations to those who toiled diligently so that this book might store for us some of the charm of school year '53 and '54. « %w__________ Mrs. Betty Nasstrom Mrs. Joyce Meredith Mrs. Dorothy Johnson MARILYN BANGSTON LAURA BARTHELME St. Cloud Teachers’ College College of St. Catherine Speech, Forensics Commercial American History IRIS BAUERMEISTER University of Minnesota Vocal Music VIOLA BENGSTON Stout Institute Home Economics RAY HANSON GERALDINE GITS U. of Minnesota, Macalester University of Minnesota Chemistry, Geometry, Librarian Annual, Audio-Visual MARJORIE JERPBAK St. Olaf College English LEONA JOHNSON University of Minnesota English, Senior Class Play GERALD ORR U. of Minnesota Industrial Arts CHARLES PETERSON St. Thomas College Biology, Physics DUANE L.

Double trouble! ■ra Football The 1953-54 Bloomington Bears, under the coaching of Jerry Molosky, didn’t prove to be the Champions of bygone years. This year was generally accepted as one of rebuilding for the future. Although the Bears were beaten badly in their first three attempts they continued to fight and bettered their record. The first game of the season was a non-conference tilt with Edina. The Bears went into the game as green as the pants they wore, and the final score proved it. Not on the schedule was a conference game with Watertown. The Bears just couldn’t get the offense rolling, and again they went down in defeat. Shakopee.the Bears next foe, was the pre-season conference, Championship team picked by the players. The Bears were plagued by a scoreless offense and injuries, so they again admitted defeat. The tide changed in the game with Chaska. Offensively and defensively the boys went wild. The Bears racked up forty six points to Chaska's thirteen. Thus the Bears stood two losses, one win in valley competition. Norwood invaded Bloomington next, but Bloomington took control of the game. Passing was the Bears main offensive weapon. Rock and sock line play added immeasureably to the win. The last home game of the season was the one game that the Bears really wanted. It was Home- Front Row, Lett to Right: George Hanson, Jack Vande Waa, Dean Nelson. Carl Jensen, Leon Wise, Frances Koch, George Thomas, Henning Rossebo. Barry Bormon, Davie Mikkelson, Gerry Swenson.

After the illustrious bon fire and variety show that started the annual Bloomington Homecom -ing celebration, the Bears really hated to lose to University High. The Bears played their hearts out to hold a scoreless first half. Mistakes and inability to score on many occasions put the victory securely in U. High's hands. This was one of Bloomingtons main troubles through the season. The opponents always seemed to get more points than they. After the heart-breaking loss to U. High the Bears went out and completely clouted the boys from Orono. Orono, high in the standings, couldn't quite get over the Bears surging offensive power and defensive strength. Again passing was a strong factor in the win. Toclose the season the Bears travels out to Waconia. This game proved to be the hardest fought of the year. It showed that the boys were typical of Bloomington's hard fighting squad. Coach Molosky’s squad always makes a name for itself with its rock and sock 'em type of ball playing. They’re building for another year and another trophy. 36 Mainstays Heading a list of mainstays on the 53 squad was EdKamleiter, Leon Wise and Fran Koch, all pictured at the top of the page. Second from the top are Claude Guptill, Dean Nelson, and Jack Vande Waa. Carl Jensen, John Keely, and Bill Rooney pictured in the third shot, took a major part on the gridiron. One of the toughest jobs in the squad goes to Bob Miles and George Hanson, managers of the Bloomington Bears. First squad members worked hard to keep up traditions built by their predecessors. Foremost on the team were these eighteen members. Henning Ros-sebo, top left, is a Sophomore who carried a lot of weight in his second year of playing offensive'tackle and defensive guard. Leon Wise, senior, put four years of experience to use in his rough and tough style and according to Coach Molosky was one of the finest players he has worked with. Dave Mik-kelson started as a full back, later switching to offensive right end. He has lots of speed and good change of direction. Francis Koch played left end and as a senior was the favored pass receiver, led in yardage gains by passing, played defensive half back. George Thomas, combination quarterback and fullback, makes up for his lack of speed with hard hitting and deceptive running and turned in one of Bloomington’s outstanding passing games. Light, hard hitting John Keely rounded out his senior year as defensive line backer with a hard hitting record. Promising George Stott is given acclaim as the fastest man on the field, plays halfback in this, his Sophomore year, while Barry Borman, junior, turned in a top job in his position as a rangy end. Merlin Brant and Jack Maxson came a long way to get into first string action this year. Both are juniors and have a hard hitting reputation. Bill Rooney was on the scene as a halfback, one of our most promising and speedier ones, according to his coaches, while Carl Jensen played defensive line backer and was used as a utility” man to fill any hard pressed vacancy, particularly at fullback and offensive tackle and guard jobs. Claude Guptill. a senior, took over in this last year of school to play defensive positions. Dean Nelson, also a senior, held down some responsible spots at crucial moments. Jack Vande Waa put his bulk at openings where he could be used at an advantage along with Ed Kamleiter who often teamed up with Wise at offensive guard. Short and stocky, he saw lots of action. Chuck Barnes on the opposite page and Lee Johnson proved to be promising players with real futures promised them with the Bears in their next years. Barnes played center and defensive end. He is a Sophomore. Johnson, a Junior, was used to advantage at center. Homecoming ’53 In the eyes of the ’54 class Yvonne and Leon made the perfect king and queen. Homecoming will always be one of our most treasured memories, even though we lost the game. 38 V.

Bears had their first practice with thirty-nine candidates out. The Bears played fair ball and tied the supposedly strong Edina. 5-5. The second practice scrimmage was with a powerful Washburn team. They beat the Bears 12-2. The Bears then visited Edina once more and beat them solidly. 11-5. A game with Hopkins was a hard fought battle of pitchers with Hopkins edging out a 4-1 victory. After this defeat the Bears surged ahead to win two conference games at the expense of Waconia. 10-4 and Watertown. 5-2. The next game proved to be the hardest of the season. A strong Shakopee, paced with good pitching, out did the Bears 4-2. With this loss being the first of the season the Bears still were very much in the running for that championship. They proved their desire to win in their next two games against Orono. 14-6 and Eden Prairie. 14-4. It looked like clear sailingahead until the Bears met Chaska. Chaska out hit the Bears 7-4 and capitilized on nine errors to win the contest 5-2. 44 Tennis Returning lettermen for this season’s netters will include these veterans under the tutelage of Mr. White: Dean Nelson, top rear, Elmer Fosseen and Wallace Ber-thiaume. In the foreground, Dick Ellis and Dale Nelson. After a slow season in 1953, Coach White looks forward to these mainstays as well s some newcomers. Ellis was top singles man last year and apparently will continue along that line while Dean will likely play second singles. Fosseen, Berthiaume and Dale are grooming themselves for third singles spots. Proper stance and grip are important fundamentals to beginning tennis players and in this shot. Coach White is demonstrating to Pat Quam the proper placement of fingers. White looks forward to some keen competition for spots on the team in 1954. 45 Track Track team members shown here are Leslie Matteson,Leigh Lund-berg. JimParker. Gerald Adelman.

The ’54 Bandsmen Our band is a very busy group. Last summer it marched at St.Cloud in the V.F.W. parade and in Minneapolis for the Lion's Club parade. At homecoming time, it marched at the bonfire and game. A big project of the band each fall is the magazine sale. This project requires the help of everyone in the band. The profits from the magazine drive are used to buy new instruments. Each spring the band enters the District Music Festival, competing with other bands from the district. Last year an A rating was given our band, allowing it to compete at the State Contest. Nucleus of next year's band are these three band members who set the pace for the group. They are Robert Drisic, Carole Riess and Wayne Parker. 52 Back row: James Hein. Jack Vande Waa. Parsons. James Duncan, Diane Hecker. Darrell Christensen. Second row: Dean Nelson.

Joe, Bloomington high school's typical music student, is a unique sort; just practices away, deep in the heart of the building. You can hear him early in the morning, yet during the school day he seems to hibernate, coming out again in the evenings. But at all costs, he's an important part of our school. Without him we'd be a pretty sad lot. 53 Student Council FRONT ROW, Left to right,--Laura Kamleiter, Howard Kyllo.Jo Anne McDonald, Jim Nelson, Yvonne Pahl, Mr. Hoblit.

Our Hearts Were Young and Gay “Our Hearts Were Young and Gay”, the senior class play, was presented on April 24. A comedy in three acts, the play dealt with the zany antics of two American girls, Cornelia Otis Skinner, played by Alice Hoffman, and her bosom friend, Emily Kimbrough, played by Yvonne llaeg. The girls are traveling alone to Paris, during which they meet two interesting boys, Dick Winters, portrayed by Frank Burg, and Leo McEvoy, portrayed by Doug Moe. The boys, incidentally, were medical students and were also traveling to gay Paree! Humorous, but often times embarrassing, incidents were many, and extremely enjoyable, due mostly to the fine acting of our talented seniors, the fine direction of Mrs. Johnson, and the excellent music of Mr. Shannon and the band.
