Alarm clocks rang early this year hundreds of teen-agers rolling out time to make a 7 a. m. bus for school. With so many buses, entryways were rather crowded as we eased into the building. 5 Ck i TJl Awir.s, Of the split schedule was spent inleisure hou some.

Perhaps the victory was due in part to the presence of the Homecoming Queen and her attendants.

OLSON Mr. Olson, our superintendent of schools, will be remembered as keeping a capable hand on the helm of the district as it expanded at an unheard of pace. MR. P. ARTHUR HOBLIT Mr. Hoblit, skipper of the high school, kept a taut ship and has placed his name in the annals of our class as advisor and friend of the class of 1955. MRS. JOYCE MEREDITH As an unofficial superintendent, Mrs. Meredith has a reliable hold on affairs of the main office. Her efficient methods leave little to guess and we‘11 go our way missing her business acumen. MRS. BETTY NAASTROM Mrs. Naastrom was with us from the start of the school day until long after our leaving. Her cheerful personality always made make-up slips seem a bit less formidable. MR. JAMES OSTROOT Assistant Superintendent Ostroot was a newcomer this year, but his cheerful smile lightened the southeast corridors. We sincerely hope to see him about for many years. MRS. DOROTHY JOHNSON Finances -- that'sher specialty, and Mrs. Johnson holds a tremendous job as school funds and administrative measures kept her on the job constantly. MRS.

ME CotnmetcvaV OUR LIFE WAS STEERED BY THE STUDENT COUNCIL Keeping more active than ever before, this year's student council instituted the schools first requirement that students must bid for their offices. The resulting group is pictured above following their election to office. Projects came in rapid succession with the group sponsoring a charity movie and looking after the general welfare of members of their student body. Nearly two hundred dollars was handed out to various charities in a series of checks mailed to local organizations. Members of the student council for the year 1954-1955 are Front row, left to right, Meredith Foss, Beverly Johnson, Patricia Quam, Gary Jenson, Laura Kamleiter, Delores Wolf, Martha Lukach, P.

Back row: Ingbert Leypoldt, Douglas Last, Donald Atkinson, Julie Ann Carlson, Sharon Pedersen, Yvonne Edstrom, Delene Maurseth, Ted Mellby. One of the most pleasant tasks of the year for Beve rly Johnson, president of the student council, was to mail out checks to various designated charities. Here, she and Delene Maurseth look over the various letters going to the organizations. MCft| SENIOR CUSS LIFE’S MAJOR ISSUES OF 1955 WERE IN THEIR HANDS Senior class officers started off the year with a heavy load of activities including homecoming, after the game dances, trip to Chicago, selection of cards and announcements and choosing the official photographer for the yearbook. Class sponsor for the year as in the past was Mr. Hoblit, principal of the senior high. The officers worked with a committee of teachers to help plan the homecoming. Starting Thursday with the coronation of the King and Queen with a variety show in her honor. Festivities included a bonfire that night where cheerleaders took charge. Friday night a semi-formal dance was held after the game.

Dependability plus, and in there every time you need him is Dave Mikkelson, top - notch forward. The machine, coolest character this year, goes up for a fast one and usually a 2 point score. BobKunz, a comer for next year is now hitting regularly on the guard position. He's not s w i n g i n g , its a jump shot from the free -throw line. Noleen is a fast flashy guard on the '55 Bears. Jack Maxson completes his senior year in the forward position after playing ball since his Sophomore year. Ted Mellby planned this shot and planned many another during the year as Bloomington's hopes built high for the season. Larry Hill, small but a fast mover, made his mark on the season's scorebook too. Norman Anderson lines up a long one from the corner ashecarrys out his forward position. DickAlery is about to take off in a superman effort to score. In the post mortem report, he made the shot. Jim Pratt isn't quite as slow moving as it appears in this shot, but he made a lasting impression this year. A very familiar pose as the machine scores two more points toward a Bloomington victory. Guard Bill Noleen drives in for another score upping his point total for the year. Ift not a set shot from mid - court, it’s only Thomas shooting a free-throw . . . P.S. He made it. Mikkelson tips it ini ... a very common occurrence durina the season. Don Dale Pitcher Jim Pavlo Catcher Charles Barnes Manager Ted Mellby First Base Bob JKunz Third Base Dick Royle Second Base Dave Mikkelson Outfield George Thomas Shortstop Coach Jensen took over baseball practice for spring practice as a new coach and from the appearance of the current turnout, the season will be a good one. He will have to do without the following members who have indicated since this picture was taken that they will choose track instead: Dave Mikkelson, and Charles Stott. During the past 1954 season the Bloomington Bears finished off a mediocre season with four wins, six losses.

The front row includes: Lee Johnson, Bob Thoma, Coach Molosky, Tom Chadwick, Gary Running, Gary Jensen, Gordon Berthiaume, Bill Brenna, Howard Kyllo, George Hanson, Glen Youmans and Bob Miles. Mr. Workman, coach of the 1955 squad, looked into the coming season and named these fellows as his probable golf squad. Shown left to right are: Don Atkinson, Dennis Zitterow, Tom Bond. Harold Noyes, Warren Mays, Ronnie DeVoldy, Chester Clemmer, Roger Penwell and Mr. Workman. A NEW COACH DROVE HOME SOME POINTERS IN APRIL 56 And on a new court • • • A red hot squad of net men held forth with a new coach and some old standbys. Efforts this spring were redoubled when Coach Cal Strand took over direction of the tennis squad from Mr. White who returned to the junior high school full time. Members of the team who expect to answer the opening call to arms are: Jim Pratt, Coach Strand, Bob Driste, Dale Nelson, Wallace Berthiaume, Doug Last and Ronald Corwine. Cheerleaders played an important part . . . If you're seeing polka dots you're on the ball. Tom Collins, Marilyn Pahl, Dorothy McDonald, Carol Koch, Ellen Johnson, Claudia Fenn and Joann McDonald look on while Center George Thomas adds his autography to the lopsided sphere which has become a fixture about the cage practice sessions. The cheerleading team spent hours in preparation of games, pep fests and other entertainments during the 1955 season. They made life much more simple . . . Just about every task imaginable is handled by this very efficient office task force. They managed to collect many items including the respect of the student body for their consistent work day after day. Shown are:Cherill Borth, Marlene Meincke, Marlene Butzin, Mrs. Naastrom.

Art Cooper heads the staff of custodians at Bloomington high and at the same time heads the group in numberof years service. Thousands of students passing t hr ou gh the building year after year haven't made a dent in his ever ready smile and willingness to help us out. A newcomer thisyear to the senior high school is Ber-nard Larson, whose work from one end of the school to another seems endless, but whose efforts have paid off in a cleaner looking building and a more efficient staff. Many students do not have an opportunity to see much of Arnie Johnson who comes in for the late afternoon session, but many will recall theyearshe spent with the high school in regular session. He's another with a ready chuckle a nd a pleasant way of getting things done when necessary. Youngest member of this hard working clan is Dick Boche. a recent graduate of the school he now serves. Popular with the students and ready before and after school to take part in their activities, Dick has made an i mport ant niche for himself in the life of Bloomington high. 69 Here’s the story at WALSH’S SHOPPING CENTER 9833 Lyndale Ave. So.
