Heis devoted his life, very nobly, to books and is trying to encourage the human tand inhumani race in this interest. With Tom's aid we start through What's That ill 1966'. Behold: Professor B. Peter Piper Pepper Bren'. He's heading the recent expe- dition to the upper part of Lower Gorgonzolia searching for bigger and better ice mice. Isn't that wonderful? His life's ambition has been fulfilled: Look who's in politics: W.W.D. is running for president, Honorable Willy's platform is Banish Railroads'. Bring back the stage coach'. Willyis opponent is Calamity Jane' Gens. Her platform is Bigger and better pool halls for our juvenile delinquents. Sir Bertram Ackermanio has broken all records for his numerous performances at the Metropolitan Opera House. He won his way to fame with that classical selection You Blacked My Blue Eyes Once Too Often. Marc LeSueur has received the M0st Dynamic Salesman of the Decade award given by the Better Caves and Garbage magazine. He's about to leave for Africa where he will begin the greatest campaign of his career selling maps of Mars to the native tribesmen. Dorothy Ciskovsky has just received the Nobel Prize for her work in first aid for mosquito bites in Antarctica. Tom Balfanz has started a hospital for mentally handicapped horses. Arlene Lohr is top-psychiatrist. Gene Kormylo has just returned from Africa with the latest material for his book How -t-o Shrink Heads Ln- Nine Easy Lessons and One Hard One. Educators are eagerly awaiting its publication so it may be used as a textbook in our modern schools of today. Delores Bren is the world's most famous big game hunter. She stalks her prey in the heart of New York City. Dellos Kopesky is prominent in the scientific world for his work in untwisting pretzels. Mr. Kopesky says. A distorted pretzel is no pretzel at all. This class seems to excel in almost every field. In drama we find Dave Pavelka has taken: the place 01 Ollie 1n nukla, Fran, and 0111.6. Dave's hobby off-stage is putting tooth paste back in the tube. We stand in awe as Tom replaces the book. We Juniors hope that we may tread in the hoofprints of this famous Senior Class of '55-'56. 13 14 Class History As the seniors of 1955-1956 sit arcund a roaring bonfire, their little minds drift back to their former years at old E.P. Going back twelve years, they recall seventeen bright-eyed youngster who composed the first-grade class of Eden Prairie. They were Tom Anderson, Bruce Bren, Dellos Kopesky, Edward Good, Jack Childs, Violet Coleman, Patricia De Vries, Ramona Jones, Ronald Kasper, Patricia. Kinnard, Sharron Klegin, Joseph Langer, Robert Penney, Beverly Tobias, Dorothy Ciskovsky, Verlin Torgerson, Kenneth Waller and Kenneth Westphal. In the second grade, the class lost Jack Childs, Violet Coleman, Patricia De Vries, Ramona Jones, Sharron Klegin, Kenneth Waller. The only new member was Bernard Torgerson. In the third grade four new students were gained. They were Roy Kinkle. Arlene Lohr, David Pavelka, and Rolland Schnacky. No one left. James Becker and Delores Bren were the only new members of the class in the fourth grade. Ronald Kasper, Joseph Longer, Bernard Torgerson, and Kenneth Westphal left. After pausing to add more fuel to the jolly bonfire, the members of the class of 1956 think of their former classmates. In the fifth grade they gained William Dredge, Marc LeSueur, and Mary Helen Peterson. Patty Kinnard was the only one to leave. The sixth grade gained five new members. They were Robert Shaver, William Strant, Rosalie Pollack, Caryl Owen, and Wilma. Penney. Mary Helen Peterson and Rolland Schnacky left to go to school elsewhere. Joan Larson was the only new member in the seventh grade. William Strant and Robert Shaver left. The eighth grade gained three new members. Jane Gens, Gene Korrnylo, and Gary Kostecka were the lucky people. Caryl Owen was the only absentee. The Fresh- man Class gained Valerie Bowyer, Burt Ackerman, and Marion Lubrant. No one was lost. No new members were gained in the sophomore year. Gary Kostecka left. The Junior Class retained the members of the sophomore year, with the exception of Beverly Tobias, who dropped during the middle of the year. Wilma Penney, Marion Lubrant, and Edward Good left in the first semester of the senior year. Students sruviving twelve years of hard study at E.P. were Torn Anders on, Bruce Bren, Dorothy C'is'kovsky, and Dellos Kopesky. The other seniors who graduated at E.P..Were Burt Ackerman, Torn Balfanz, Delores Bren, Jane Gens, Gene Kormylo, Marc LeSueur, William Dredge, David Pavelka, and Arlene Lohr. As the reminiscing ends, fire trucks roll up to put out the bonfire. But it is too late. Eden Prairie stands no more. The Will Burt Ackerman - I will my job as senior class president to any junior next year; Torn Anderson - I will my job as Student Council vice-president to anyone that likes Student Council meetings. And my being late every morning to anyone who can get away with it. Tom Balfanz - I will my job of vice-president of the senior class 'to Wayne C., and . hope he works as hard as I did.

A large number of alumni and interested people of the community were present to enjoy the beautifully decorated thrones and gymnasium. The basketball game with Chaska started off the evening. The result of the A game was 89 to 53 in favor of Chaska. Chaska won the B game by a score of 21 to 40. The slogan for Homecoming was Bring Down the Hawks. Immediately following the game, the talent show began. Bob Pauley, a freshman, served as Master of Ceremonies. Barbara Bren sang Give Me Love ; Sharon Thompson sang Red Roses and Little White Lies ; and Ricky Ravnholdt followed with a trumpet solo called Whispering. Barbara Raustadt, Beverly Koskela, Joanne Lueck, and Linda Burnham made up the girls' quartet which sang Do Lord. Following this, several second and third graders participated in a square-dance; Sandra Nesbitt sang R OCR and Roll Waltz ; Andrea Ravnholdt did the Charleston dance; and Peggy Balfanz and Patty Dill sang Mr. Sandman. The talent program was concluded by a piano duet The Blue Danube played by Patty and Jerry Nesbitt. Highlighting the festivities was the coronation of the 1956 king and queen, Dellos Kopesky and Jane Gens. 1955's king and queen Burton Sutton and LaVonne Tobias were present to crown Jane and- Dellos. Those attending the king and queen were from grade 12, Arlene Lohr and Bruce Bren; grade 11, Luella Gilbert and Jerome Pomerleau; grade 10, Kathy Lubrant and Bob lKopesky; grade 9, Rachael Sorensen and Steve Roe; grade 8, Rose Mary Kopesky and Roger Brown; and grade 7, Terry Kearney and Paul Anders on.

Brekke, S. Roe. Despite being handicapped by a lack of experience, the B team fought with great spirit and showed improvement as the year progressed. The team compiled a record of one win and thirteen losses. Lead- ing scorers were Harold Duda and Robert Hirt. The outlook for next year's B team is rather optimistic. Height and added experience should boost its strength sufficiently to make the other Valley B teams eye E.P. with respect. The season of 1955-1956 proved to be a little rougher for the Eagles than the preceding year. After a slow start, hOWever, the determination and fighting spirit of the team enabled them to compile a fair record. Marc LeSueur and Dellos Kopesky started as forwards, big Gene Kormylo as center, and Bruce Bren and Jim Simona as guards for the Eagles. Tom Anderson, as the sixth man, contributed greatly to the Eagle cause. Other reserves who saw action during the seas on were David Pavelka, Ben Filipi, Harold Duda, and Robert Hirt. The loss of seniors Bruce Bren, Tom Anderson, Dellos Kopesky, Marc LeSu'eur, Gene Kormylo, and David Pavelkaawill pose a problem in rebuilding next year's team. Returning veteran Jim Simons, the only starter from this year's team, Wayne Chevalier, Ben Filipi, Robert Hirt, and Harold Du'da will form the nucleus of next year's squad. With the help of several B team veterans, next year's team might prove surprising. -' w j u , .
