r , I fill! ' ' X ylll'l I Each year the senior class meets to decide to whom they will dedicate the annual. This year a decision was very promptly reached. The unanimous vote was for Our art instructor, Mrs. Doris Stewart. Mrs. Stewart came to Eden Prairie three years ago and set up our first art program. She encountered many hardships that first year; the most impor- tant one was having no room of her own in which to conduct her classes. Each was held in a different room and between classes she would be seen, loaded down with books and art materials, rushing so that she would not be late. Yet, despite the many handicaps, you would never hear her complain. Besides her regular classes, she helps withseveralextra-curricular activi- ties. The class play scenery has been excellently done for the last three years and the float for Homecoming would not have been nearly as nice without her assistance. She is also the advisor for the art club. Before Mrs. Stewart came to our school she worked as a substitute in sev- eral Minneapolis schools and was,at one time, an interior decorator at Dayton's. She has also been active for many years in Delta Phi Delta, an honorary art fraternity. We wish to express our sincere thanks to you, Mrs. Stewart, for your pa- tience and understanding. We also want you to know that we appreciate your willingness to help us with whatever problems we might have had. The senior class extends their warmest wishes to you for the future and hopes you will always have pleasant memories of your years at Eden Prairie.

PROPHECY When Ayrol Rolf started his Go-Cart business in June, 1970, we immediate ly purchased one for our tour to investigate the pro- gress of the 1961 seniors. Rolt's Go-Cart Manufacturing Company made only one error in the manufacture of their product--that was the failure to print in- structions as to how to run the contraption. To obtain the mechanical advice needed to start the cart we called on Don Frye and Jim Kennedy at their auto shop. Besides receiving instructions we learned that Hoff's Bowling Lanes was located just a block north. Upon our arrival at the bowling center, we had some difficulty in locating Alic pin-setters. After untangling her we learned that the reason she was in such a predic ion bowler, had rolled the ball with such force that it had gotten entangled in the upp trying to get it out. e; it seems she got stuck in the automatic ament was because Bonnie Schmit, a champ- er part of the pin-setter and she had been Upon leaving Alice we decided to travel north. We had read in Bev Koskela's gossip column from a local newspaper in Howdy, Texas, that Nan Benson was living in Alaska. Before we could attempt to travel that far, we had to stop and gas up at Dimler's Service Station. Chuck's lett-hand man, Dave Robertson, waited on us. We pulled out of the station with a screech and a roar and almost ran into Lynda Shultz test-driving a new Valiant. The salesman trying to hand her a big line was Steve Seavall. Heading north up the highway we passed a Northrup King tesnng field. And who do you suppose we saw detasseling corn? None other than Bruce Menge with his able assistant, Mike Schutrop. After talking for a few minutes we went on our merry way. Fin- ally, we arrived at our destination. Our first task was to find a suitable place to stay. The Chamber of Commerce advised us that the best place Ir. town was the Sleep-Tite Motel. Upon our arrival we found it was owned and operated by Barb Shenk and Shirley Baker. Being very tired, we went to bed early, only to be awakened by music, loud shouts, and laughter coming from the next room. Curiosity got the best of us; so, we paraded, in our nightclothes, to the next room to see what all the commotion was about. We Were gaily greeted at the door by HBig Otis, formerly known as Paul Anderson. He asked us to join him at his annual l'Daybreak Party ias you know, they have long nights in Alaskai The first thing we did the next morning was to visit Benson's Spout Stoppers, Inc. Nan's chief job was supervising the manu- facture of whale Spout stoppers. After the stoppers had been completed, it was Bev and Barb Patko's job to install them. There they were, riding whales bareback while stuffing stoppers in their spouts. Another interested spectator was Judy Couper, who had gained fame as an artist by painting pictures of the twins at work. Failing to find any more of the grads of'61 in Alaska, we chartered Wally Moran, his co-pilot, Joe Shidla, and his plane, and took off for Hawaii. After a bouncy, one-point landing, we crawled out of the demolished plane, natives who had witnessed our landing lit you could call it a landingi. Wally and Joe cided to take up permanent residence. We left them behind in the care of two good lo happy- Ieaving our go-cart to the curious , instead of purchasing a new plane, de- oking native girls and we're sure they're From there we went to the nearest taxi stand and took the first taxi we saw. Who shouldbe driving it but Dennis Nesbitt. Beside him he had assembled his gun collection iunloaded, we hapedi. Even though we trusted Dennis,'we only rode one block with him. When we got out, we found ourselves in front of a department store. There, sleeping in the window, was Rick Ravnholdt. We pounded on the-Window and woke him up. He was surprised to see us and told us he had been testing mattresses since graduation and loved his work. He also told us that if we walked around the corner we would find another surprise. Not knowing what to expect, we proceeded cautiously and found Diane 5trom testing Brand X Cigars. She immediately offered us one but we politely refused. While talking to Diane we heard a click behind us and turned to find ourselves face to face with Kurt Preblick, holding his trusty camera in one hand with his other arm around his beautiful model wife. Kurt asked us if, in our travels, we had ac- quired the addresses of any of the '61 graduates for his ten-year reunion. As you may know, Kurt is the president of Reunions, lnc. After tearing ourselves away from the ever-friendly Kurt, we boarded a sight-seeing bus and were pleased to see that it was driven by Joe Holasek. We seated ourselves and were soon aware of two familiar voices coming from the back of the bus. Glanc- ing over our shoulders we proved our suspicions by recognizing Carole Ackerman and Mike Koberstien busily discussing something. We went back and talked to them to see how they were doing. They told us that they were rehearsing for an unrehearsed debate which was to be televised'the next week. They informed us that it was to be emceed by Gary Thompson, who was another Ed Murrow. We were sorry we would miss the program, but we had made previous arrangements with Martha Listberger, who was a secretary at World-Wide Water Travels. She said she enjoys her job, but she was still waiting for the Air Force to come home. As we would be in Hawaii for a few more days, we decided to make a tour of the movie sets. One movie set was located on the beach We watched the surf'ers for a while and then realized that one of them was Sue Tomlinson. When she reached the shore, we ran over to see what she had been doing since graduation. To our astonishment she told us that she was teaching movie stars to surf and water ski. We could only talk to her for a few minutes as it was getting late and we wanted to get back to our room. On ,our way back we saw Leon Nesbitt and Ken Kopesky standing on the corner watching all the gir ls go by. We went over to them and asked them what they had been doing for the past few years. They told us their occupation was hunting-------- their game --------- girls, natch. l The next morning we set sail for the mainland. The ship's captain came to welcome us at our cabin. We were glad to find that it was Jim Skranka. He informed us that another classmate was working on the ship. It was John Linner, who was the ship's doctor. Between cases he swabs decks. We asked Jim if he knew if any of the-passengers were former Eden Prairie students. He told us he didn't know oft-hand but would give us a list of the passengers on board. Going over this list we found tnat there were three. Walking down the hall we ran into Linda Thresher and Doug Larson. They were on their third world cruise. They invited us to have dinner-with them and we accepted. Up0n arrivingyat the dining room that evening, we found that they had also invited Alan Hiorth. We gathered from the conversation that followed that he was traveling with the Lakers and was very happy with his career. Overioyed that we had managed to see everyone from the 1961 graduating class, we relaxed and enjoyed our trip back to Eden Prairie. CAROLE ACKERMAN: Library 9-12. . . Chorus 9. . . Buzzer11,12. . .

A peptest was held at the school before the game with the Eden Prairie school band providing the music. The cheers were led by our able uA-SquadH cheerleaders. After the giant bonfire had burned lower, John Linner, co- captain of the football team, crowned the 1960 royalty, King Doug Larson and Queen Sue Tomiinson. The King and Queen were attended by Alice Hoff, Linda Thresher, Joe Holasek and Rick Rovnholdt, Senior class; Pot Mon- son and Bill Krisko, Junior class; Judy Moran and Rick Horn, Sophomore class; Karen chle and Jim Johnson, Freshman class; Kathy Hayes and John Nydahl, eighth grade; and Sandra Nesbitt and Fred McDougai, seventh grade. The crownbeurers were Vol Jean Schnabel and Douglas Swanson. Preceding the game held at Chaska's field, Linda Linner and her horse, Dinah, and the band under Mr. Stark, performed. The band also played between quarters. Dur- ingihaIf-time a float, built by the seniors, bearing the 1960 Queen and her attendants; and a convertible bearing the 1959 Queen Rosemary Kopesky, circled the field. These events were announced by the Mistress of Ceremon- ies, Linda Brekke. The game itself began with the Eden Prairie team dashing thr0ugh a huge paper covered hoop depicting an eagle. Unfortunately the Eagles suffered a defeat at the hands of Watertown The following evening, October 19, a dance was held in the old gym which had been decorated by the junior class. Music was provided by the Continentais. King Doug and Queen Sue, with their attendants, led the grand tmarch. Pre-gume Bonfire Grand March Procession 37 Si 5'' Eavesdrops HYes, Sir, That's My Baby!
