In every area tbe importance of understanding and friendliness between nations and individuals was made tbe responsibi lity of eacb of us. Tbrougb student organizations our school lias promoted these goals. Edina-Morningside progressed further by instituting an annual International Day Program. This year it invited high school students from foreign countries to spend one year among us. Every young person today is faced with tremendous responsibilities and many problems. Because our school lias taken such an active interest in preparing us to meet these crises as future citizens, we are more mature individuals. Web elieve this has been an important part of our education and so have selected Elands Across tbe Sea” as tbe theme for tbe 1954 Whigrean. 9 J joouas hSm awsSi v- -ft ' 2 3TT ' . (Dedication We, tlie Senior Class, dedicate this yearbook to the search for world peace. All men meet and join company on the common journey toward this id eal. Although there are many tensions and misunderstandings throughout the world today, we feel that universal peace is possible. We realize our flight to th is destination is not undirected hut follows an established course, a course determined by tolerance and friendliness, sincerity and honesty, among nations and individuals. Guiding our flight is leadership—leadership of integrity and vision. We, as young people, are moving toward a spiritual and practical maturity, that we may provide the leadership in gaining world peace.

Strengthens School Since the parents, the students, and the faculty make up the complex framework of our school's operation, it is imperative that there is a favorable co-ordination of their individual interests. Our high school Parent-Teachers Association has made great strides toward this goal since our school was first opened in 1948. At their four yearly meetings, the P. T. A. presents various programs with the intent of not only stresing the importance of a good student-teacher relationship but also showing the individual accomplishments that the students had made up to that time. Participants at each of these programs are students from the high school. Parents had an opportunity to visit the students' classrooms and meet the students' teachers at the open house held last fall. This open house gave parents a chance to confidentially discuss problems concerning their children with the teachers and to see the results of the daily work produced by the students. At the second meeting, the Music Department of the high school presented their annual Christmas program. As a result of many hours of work, the junior and senior high school bands and choruses exhibited the progress that the Music Department had made during the first half of the year. The Art, Dramatic, and Speech Departments presented the February meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association. Art students from grades seven through twelve, under the direction of Miss Beryle Christesen, head of the Art Department, displayed their best work. After the cast of the mid-winter play presented excerpts from Our Town, Mr. Delmar Fredrickson, drama coach, gave a short talk on the importance of high school dramatics. Because it emphasized the importance of making a class interesting as well as productive, this meeting was especially beneficial. Various new projects were suggested at the last meeting of the year, which was devoted mainly to the transaction of business. Following the business meeting, parents and teachers were served refreshments in the high school lunchroom. At this time they discussed the possibilities of these new ideas and projects. Mr. Charles Webster, Mrs. Ray Beim, Mr. E. Lawrence Swandby, president; Miss Ingrid Miller, Mr. Harold Berglund Page 10 First Row: Charles S. Hoyt, Mrs. J. F. Richards, Norman Terwilliger. Second Row: Charles McGarraogh, Paul Keller, A. C. Buffington, Milton Kuhlmon Sell ool Board Is Nucleus o f Ed i ma Formulating and carrying through plans for the improvement of the school system has been the important function of our school board which serves as the link between the taxpayers and administration. A group that gives graciously of their time and ability, the board runs with great skill and efficiency. In addition to the regular monthly meetings, special meetings are often necessary, especially in the planning of new school buildings. This year endless hours have been spent by the board in drawing up the final plans for a new junior high school building and an addition to the newly built Concord Elementary School. With the vast increase in enrollment in the Edina-Morningside school system, it is definitely necessary to expand the educational facilities in order to provide an adequate education for every student. If all plans are carried out on schedule, the proposed junior high school will conduct its first classes in the fall of 1955. The school board also hopes to acquire more land on which another elementary school can be built. With the completion of these buildings, the Edina-Morningside campus will certainly be an outstanding asset to the community. It must be realized that voting bond issues for such construction is only the beginning of the school board's duties. It is also their responsibility to see that the work is done as well and inexpensively as possible, and that any needed equipment for the care of the building is obtained. Establishing the policy under which the school is to be maintained is a third important undertaking. Arriving at a suitable budget for the year is a difficult task of the school board, for the salaries of all employees, cafeteria expenses, new equipment and other miscellaneous details must be included. Elected as representatives from each location of District 17, the school board members are Charles S. Hoyt, A. C. Buffington, Norman Terwilliger, Paul Keller, Charles McGarraugh, Mrs. James F. Richards, and Milton Kuhlman, acting chairman. Set up to have a rotating membership, two members are elected each year, and after their three-year terms are completed, members may be re-elected to the board. Sincerity and clear thinking by the taxpayers at voting time assures the community of a stable school system, run by an efficient school board. It is impossible to over emphasize its importance for an effective school system is dependent upon its board of education. Page 11 Kulil man Coordinates School System To Mr. Kuhlman can be attributed the functioning of our school system. He not only supervises an efficient staff and financial matters, but he also keeps the public informed on school progress. Mr. Kuhlman, who received his Bachelor of Science degree from South Dakota State University and Master of Arts degree from the University of Minnesota, obtained his first position in Watertown, South Dakota. However, he soon became principal at Stillwater, Minnesota and later at St. Louis Park. Coming to Edina in 1949 as principal, he was promoted to superintendent in 1950. Our superintendent is kept busy through membership in local, state, and national educational and administrative organizations, the American Legion, and the Lion's club. Mr. Kuhlman is listed in Leaders in Education and Who's Who in the Midwest. Page 12 Miss Harriet Kelsey Mrs. Thelma Nelson Fick Invaluable to Our School In his twelfth year with our school system, Mr. Leo Pick has been principal of Edina for two years. After receiving his Bachelor's degree from iHe St. Cloud Teacher's College in 1935, he in-udted mathematics and science at Marietta, nesota. In 1946, succeeding his principalship licollet, Minnesota, he obtained his Master's Iree from the University of Minnesota. Mr. taught in Austin, Minnesota, preceding months. Another one of his obligations is coordinating the activities and events curriculum with each department head. He is also assistant to Mr. Kuhlman in the high school teaching staff. Supplementary to this, Mr. Fick serves as the advisor for students of the Senior High Council. Conscientious in regard to his work, Mr. Fick belongs to several educational organizations. Aside from his activities at school, he is an avid sports enthusiast and seldom misses an Edina athletic event. Mrs. Margaret McKeand Page 13 Able Assistant Guides Students Consuming much time both in and out of school, the position of assistant principal is a difficult one. As assistant principal, Mr. Roland Ring handles all disciplinary problems which directly concern our school. He also has the additional responsibility of supervising the attendance and tardiness records. Moreover, Mr. Ring admits the absent students and checks others out on the presentation of an excuse. Most problems, whether they concern dis- Mrs. Natalie Jacobson cipline, attendance, or tardiness, eventually go through him, either for his approval or advice. These are only a few of the duties of our assistant principal. Not to be forgotten is his job of handling registration of new students. When he is not occupied with one or more of these activities Mr. Ring may be found conferring with Mr. Fick on general school policies. Following his graduation from South High School in Minneapolis, Mr. Ring attended the University of Minnesota where he received a Bachelor of Science degree. Upon graduation, he served as Chief Petty Officer in the United States Coast Guard. By attending summer school at the University of Minesota, he was able to receive his Master of Arts degree. Prior to coming to Edina in 1950, Mr. Ring held a teaching position at Hutchinson, Minnesota, where he also coached football. Teaching Social Problems and aiding our varsity football coach were his responsibilities before he took on his new position of assistant principal. In addition to his membership in several state and national organizations pertaining to education, Mr. Ring has the honor of being chairman of the Lake Conference Principals Association. An avid sports fan, he is a member of the M Club at the University of Minnesota. Page 14 Jensen, Schmidt Counsel Students Mr. Schmidt Mr. Rodney Schmidt holds the position of counselor to the junior high students. Having been established this year for the first time in our school system, this office is responsible for initiating a program which will allow students, particularly the new seventh graders, to successfully adjust to high school life. If parents have any questions about their children, they are directed to Mr. Schmidt. In addition, he along with Miss Jensen has charge of the testing program for the school which includes the A. C. E. and the Iowa Achievement Tests. Mr. Schmidt also has academic duties and teaches two classes of seventh grade geography. Attending Macalester College and the University of Minnesota, he received his Bachelor and Master of Arts degrees. Before coming to Edina, he was in the navy. Preceding this time in the service, he taught at Hastings High School, Hastings, Minnesota. Miss Jensen Counseling senior high students is the job of Miss Marilyn Jensen. To aid in her interviews with students, she keeps a complete file of college and vocational training catalogues; she then arranges for representatives from various schools to speak to the students. Because it takes a great deal of thought and consideration to make decisions about vocations and colleges, the students welcome her advice. Both new students wishing to make arrangements for their class schedules and students desiring to change their present schedules consult with Miss Jensen. Along with Mr. Schmidt, she plans testing programs. Another of her diversified jobs is counseling all-school Y-Teens and co-ordinating the activities of the individual chapters. These duties contribute to her heavy program. After attending the University of Minnesota, where she received her Bachelor of Science and Master of Arts degrees. Miss Jensen taught senior English in Austin, Minnesota. Page 15 NURSE ESSENTIAL TO SCHOOL SIMPSON MANAGES SCHOOL BUSINESS At one time or another, all business transactions made by the school system pass through the office of Mr. William L. Simpson, business manager. This man, who pays all the bills contracted by the school, manages the payroll, and supervises all the bookkeeping, came to Edina in 1950. Mr. Simpson's job grows more difficult with each year of our ever-expanding enrollment and building programs. Constantly confronted with problems, he is concerned about all the facets of business and accounting. However, because he is widely experienced in such matters, his efficiency is a large factor contributing to the welfare of our school. Unlike most other professions of nursing, the job of Mrs. Lois Moore, our nurse who graduated with a Master's degree in public health from the University of Minnesota, is not primarily to take care of the sick but to protect the healthy. Annual eye and ear tests and preventive shots are given to maintain our high standard of health. Of course first aid is also another important part of her job. Although Mrs. Moore's school work takes up the majority of her time, visiting homes upon request to confer with parents confronted by particular problems is another of her services. MILLER HEADS LIBRARY Miss Ingrid Miller, our head librarian, has a larger job than many students realize. Not only in charge of ordering all new books and magazines, she is also responsible for the maintenance of all material in the library. This particular job includes the repairing of any school books upon request of the students or teachers. Yet Miss Miller still finds time to familiarize classes with the functions of the library and is always willing to give her time in order to help a student. Having graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Minnesota, Miss Miller went into library work at Mount Clemens, Michigan, before coming to Edina in 1948. Page Kadlec, Islcer Are New Supervisors The Edina-Morningside school district is fortunate in having Mr. Edward Kadlac as part of its administration. Acting as superintendent of the buildings and grounds, with twenty-seven employees under his supervision, he has charge of the maintenance of all five schools. This includes such things as the playgrounds, athletic fields, and buses. In her first year at Edina, Mrs. Rose Isker has token over Mrs. Aamodt's former position of cafeteria director. Mrs. Isker, along with the aid of the kitchen staff, plans, prepares, and serves the daily meals for the faculty and student body of all five schools in the Edina-Morningside district. Kitchen Staff Essential to School The kitchen staff, consisting of seven women, cooks daily for over five hundred students as well as fifty teachers. Under the supervision of Mrs. Rose Isker, cafeteria director, the kitchen staff plans the daily menus, handles all financial transactions, prepares the food, and takes care of the countless details in managing a cafeteria, n addition to the noon meals, the kitchen staff always has a supply of coffee ready for the acuity and helps in the preparation of some of ie banquets held at the school. The kitchen taff is definitely an indispensable part of the .chool system. Men Behind, the Scenes The custodians, a group that attains little recognition, are an invaluable part of our school system. Playing a very important role in the maintenance of our high school, they often ignore the traditional eight-hour day and work much longer. Included in their many duties are sweeping the halls three times a day, cleaning all the classrooms at the termination of each school day, and the other numerous jobs that are essential in the upkeep of a high school. It is due to the hard work of these men behind the scenes, our custodians, that our school presents a bright and shining face to all.

Page 18 A practical application of the fundamentals of the English language is a necessity. At Edina rningside High School, we are fortunate in aving some of the most outstanding teachers n the state of Minnesota. Each grade usually covers the mechanics of nglish: sentence structure, parts of speech, and ritten themes. Pupils are also encouraged to express their deas through original works. All the teachers are willing to aid their students both in class-work and outside activities. Through creative ork, many students have discovered latent in-erests and talents, and all have benefited by eveloping more organized thinking and more ffective expression. Students on the senior high level with par-icular interest in the field of creative writing re encouraged to enter various independently ponsored contests. On the junior high level, the ighth graders have formed a club for aspiring oung authors. This year the eleventh and twelfth grade Eng-ish Department set a precedent by dividing nto two sections, consisting of Standard and Accelerated English. Emphasizing a more comprehensive study, the Accelerated English course is especially designed for pupils intending to enter college. Although the Standard English course covers basically the same material, the work is ot as extensive. The English Department is one of the most mportant and active in the school, and its in-uence is felt in literary, journalistic, speech, nd dramatic fields.

Also included in this study is a driver's training course in which the students learn the fundamentals of driving, rules of the road, and the mechanism of the car itself. Biology, offered in the senior high, covers plant and animal life in the world. The structure and function of the plants and animals are studied. It is the first specialized science course offered and also the first course in which the students perform experiments. Chemistry and Physics, electives offered in the junior and senior years at Edina, have attracted a growing number of students. These courses acquaint the students with problems in matter and energy. The subjects investigated are many and varied and include such fields as the following: fluids, solids, mechanics, heat, light, sound, electricity, and magnetism. With the increasing prominence of science and its discoveries, it is becoming more important, even on the high school level, for one to have a basic knowledge of science. In an endeavor to satisfy this need, the Department offers courses in various scientific fields.

MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT—Left to right: Mr. Greer, Mr. Chapman, Mrs. Letvin, Miss Doering, Mr. Bowman, Mr. Ironsides, Mr. Engen. Page 24 Mathematics The study of mathematics is a valuable asset to one's education. A required subject for seventh and eighth graders and an elective for ninth graders. General Math provides a solid foundation to which more advanced courses can be added. The first of these subjects is the freshmen elective, Algebra, which concentrates on the basic fundamentals of linear equations and elementary geometry. Plane Geometry, offered to senior high students, familiarizes them with useful axioms, postulates, and theorems. Students of the Advanced Algebra classes work with linear, quadratic, and cubic numbers and symbols to facilitate the solving of various types of equations. Lastly, Solid Geometry, the study of three dimensional figures and Trigonometry, a deeper examination of triangles, are semester units combined to form the most advanced mathematical course. Through these progressing series, students not only increase their skill in mathematics, but they also promote the use of logic and reasoning in thinking. Mr. Robert Bowman instructs the sophomores and juniors in both Plane Geometry and General Mathematics.

Pkysical Education Striving to improve both sportsmanship and athletic ability, the Physical Education Department plays a highly important role in the development of the students. The major part of the boys' gym class is devoted to football, basketball, softball, and soccer. Through these various team sports, students increase their sense of co-operation, fair play, and competitive spirit. Besides learning to work efficiently within a group, the boys may also participate in the individual sports: track, tumbling, and gymnastics. Fundamental skills gained through these activities provide background and experience necessary for outstanding athletic achievement. Because of the large number of girls, each gym class is separated into three groups under the supervision of individual instructors. To broaden their interests, the activities familiarize the girls with a variety of sports. On the junior high level, team participation in volleyball, soccer, basketball, and softball is emphasized, while in the senior high classes, individual and dual activities such as archery, golf, ping-pong, shuffleboard, and badminton are popular. Winter sports, particularly skating, are activities of both the upper and lower classmen. Physical Education is a worthwhile asset and a prelude to future pastimes. Interest and participation in it further healthy attitudes and physical fitness. Mr. Warren Beson, who received his Masters degree in Education at the University of Minnesota, is an instructor of Physical Education. Best known for the success he has helped to bring us as head football coach, he is also the baseball and assistant basketball coach. Supplements to his schedule are the advisorship of a Hi-Y chapter, E Club, and the Civil Service committee. Mrs. Bonnie Bergman, new at Edina this year, directs many of the large Physical Education classes for girls in grades seven through eleven. Under her promotion, the Girls Athletic Association has risen to popularity. From Gustavus Adolphus College, Mrs. Bergman obtained a Bachelor of Science degree. Mr. Ted Downs, who has been on Edina's Physical Education staff for two years, serves as head basketball, track, and assistant football coach. In addition to his sports activities, he advises an active Hi-Y chapter. His Master of Science degree was earned at the University of Wisconsin.

At the University of Valparaiso in Indiana, Miss Graebner attained a Bachelor of Arts degree; at the University of Washington, a Master of Science degree. Mrs. Murial Hoplin conducts classes in Physical Education for girls. Participating in several extra-curricular activities, she nevertheless devotes much time to her many hobbies.

Keith Lindgren has achieved an outstanding record of accomplishment and has set the highest standards of scholarship for the Class of 1954. Discovering his integrity, Keith's classmates elected him vice-president and president in his sophomore and junior year, culminated by his election to Boys' State. Qualities of leadership were evident as he held offices in Hi-Y, attended our Leadership Conferences, and was a member of National Honor Society. Interested in student government, Keith gained experience from the role he has taken in Student Council. On the athletic field, Keith began football practice as the varsity co-captain and also devoted his time to hockey. In addition to his distinguished scholastic leadership, Keith has contributed much to the school. He has displayed character, tempered with modesty and respect. Valedictorian, Salutatorian Selected ROGER KIRCHNER, SALUTATORIAN Roger Kirchner can be proud of his fine record of scholastic achievement for he has been on the Honor Roll for three years. Besides his excellent scholastic ability Roger has demonstrated his talents in extra-curricular activities. Few realize the many hours needed to establish a high rating within the Edina band, in which he remained an outstanding member for three years. Through Roger's participation in Hi-Y, his leadership qualities have resulted in several offices with this organization and his attendance at the Leadership Conferences. These special achievements have enabled him to receive membership in National Honor Society during his junior and senior year. Roger's ability to maintain high grades and still give of himself to other activities could only be possible by his development of self-discipline. The Class of 1954 will long remember their salutatorian, Roger Kirchner. Page 34 Row 1: C. Carpenter, M. Whitney, J. Kirschner, A. Bcrge, C. Wells, J. Bcim. Row 2: P. Powers, J. Johnson, M.

Seniors Complete Why is it that everyone looks forward to their senior year? The answer can never be fully explained until one is a senior. Then every small event takes on new meaning. You suddenly realize that this is your last year, and you strive to make every English class, Y-Teen meeting, and football game unforgettable. Our last and busiest year would not have been so successful without the invaluable aid of our advisers, Mr. Raymond Bechtle, Mr. Delmar Fredrickson, Mrs. Joan George, Mr. Ted Greer, Miss Ardyce La Pray, and Miss LaVonne Mag-nuson. The year began with great spirit as our boys moved on to capture the Lake Conference football championship for the second consecutive year. Before each football game we girls got together for a potluck supper and did a yogi to further the team's luck. Many of us eagerly accepted positions as editors or staff members on our two fine publications, the Buzzette and the Whigrean. The seniors lent much strength to our basketball, wrestling, and hockey teams as they had successful seasons, with the hockey team also tied for the Lake Conference title. Decorating on the valentine theme, we presented the annual senior dance, Sweetheart's Swirl, in February. In April dramatic talent was displayed as members of our class presented The Man Who Came to Dinner, this year's senior class play. Highlighting the year was our first field trip Successful Year in seven years to the banks of Minneapolis. Being well-rounded, our athletic teams made a fine showing in the spring sports of baseball, golf, tennis, and track. With our last year drawing to a close, we produced class night, a reminiscence of our school days. The finale of the year was Commencement. Here in one short evening, the seniors recalled the wonderful memories of high school life. We realize that although graduation was the closing of one phase of life, it was also the opening night of a new and entirely different phase, that of living and working in adult life. It is a challenge and we accept it solemnly. Seated: Mr. Greer, Mrs. George, Miss LaPray. Standing: Mr. Fredrickson, Mr. Bechtle, Miss Magnuson.

When not engaged in his vice-presidential duties. Brad Zimmerman participated in activities such as the concert band. Keeping track of the money in the rapidly expanding treasury was the job of Gordon Jensen, capable class treasurer. Mary Crawford, who diligently recorded business of the class meetings, was responsible for handling the clerical jobs this year. Gordon Jensen, Mary Crawford, Chip Allen, Brad Zimmerman. Class of Nineteen Fifty-five When students reach their junior year, they have gained enough experience from their participation in school activities to receive important positions in the areas having responsibility in each respective field. The juniors of '54 actively helped to organize many school events. Recognizing their duty of sponsoring the annual Junior-Senior Prom, all the juniors helped by planning or participating in money-raising projects, to undertake the task of obtaining sufficient funds. A foundation for the junior treasury was first established when the juniors sold novelties and won first place in the float contest at Homecoming. The co-sponsorship of the magazine sale with the Whigrean, which was a financial success, proved their characteristics of organization and cooperation. Father of the Bride, which evidenced the junior dramatic abilities, was presented by the class in February to supplement the already stable class funds. The unrelenting work of the juniors throughout the year was witnessed on May 28, when the Prom, entitled Rhapsody in Blue, was held at the Automobile Club. Mr. Lundquist, Mrs. Lotvon, Mr. Belk, Mrs. Hagemeister, Miss Breckheimer. JUNIOR CLASS ADVISERS Without the encouragement and aid given by the junior advisers, the numerous activities which were undertaken by the junior class this year could not have been as smoothly and capably carried out. Headed by Mr. John Belk, the faculty members were always willing to devote their time and energy for the benefit of the class. Besides helping to co-ordinate the plans made for their many group projects, the advisers served as counselors for various committees.

Athletics accounted for a great deal of his extra-curricular time. Helping with the official duties and participating in sports and Latin Club, vice-president Steve Lundgren had an active year. Handling the growing class finances was John Mulliken. His ability to play the banjo was discovered at the sophomore talent show. Secretarial responsibilities were delegated to Sally Chaney who was also a participant in the talent show. John Mulliken, Stove Lundgren, Sally Chaney, Tom Moe. Stilled Actions Recall Memories Completing successfully the transition from junior high to senior high, students of the sophomore class found that participation is the key to enjoyable high school life. They ventured into a variety of activities and not only gained experience, but also contributed their effective vigor to all of them. Notable in athletics, the sophs provided valuable additions for many Edina teams. Outstanding prospects were Larry Johnson, Tom Kelly, and Tom Moe, all of whom attained A-squad positions in two or more sports. Contributing dramatic ability was Barb Sampson who represented her class well as she played Emily, the leading lady, in the Thespian production, Our Town. During the year the efforts of the class were directed toward raising funds for the traditional senior reception held after Commencement. The annual sophomore talent show proved to be an important source of revenue as well as an enjoyable auditorium program. Judging from the fine organization and presentation of this show, the senior reception promises to be a long-remembered event in the minds of its guests. Miss Towler, Mr. Bowman, Miss Bortholot, Miss Gransberg, Miss Costello, Mr. Ehlert. SOPHOMORE CLASS ADVISERS Often during their first year in senior high, students are faced with many adjustments and new responsibilities. This year's class was no exception; however, with the advice and encouragement from their faculty advisers, the sophomores progressed smoothly through the year. New methods for raising funds were introduced when the need was evidenced. Providing the necessary stimulus, the sophomore advisers channeled the collective energy of the class toward fulfillment of their main project, the senior reception.

President Jim Carroll had the job of leading the freshman class this year. Organization and promotion of class projects were on his agenda. Marilyn Carlson, as vice-president, was anxious to help with the presidential duties. A B-squad cheerleader, Marilyn enjoyed displaying her school spirit. Whether depositing or withdrawing money for her class, competent Lynn Kidder was well-occupied as treasurer. Accurate minutes were taken at class meetings by Gale Albrecht who was also an active member of G.A.A. Class o f Nineteen Fifty -seven Unrelenting enthusiasm and school spirit was displayed by the ambitious freshmen througout their last year of junior high school. The junior high Student Council and Red Cross saw active participation from the freshmen, whose leadership was also recognized in other organizations such as Latin Club and Pep Club. Excellent sports potential was displayed by Jim Emerson, John Price, and Jim Carroll, who established themselves as promising performers in varsity hockey and B-squad basketball. With a spirit of co-operation, the freshmen worked together to raise the money for financing their class parties. In February they organized and supported the Bean Feed, a skating and dinner party. The social highlight of the year was the Frosh Dance, their moonlight held in March. By winning the sophomore talent show for the second consecutive year, the students gave evidence of their talent and interest in school events. With Ronald Berglund presiding as Master of Ceremonies, the freshmen ended a year of accomplishments by sponsoring Orientation Day for the sixth graders. FRESHMAN CLASS ADVISERS As leaders of the junior high activities, the freshman class had many responsibilities and frequently called upon the guidance of their class advisers. The faculty members, headed by Mrs. Marilyn Gelhar, were a constant source of inspiration in aiding the direction of activities and class projects which were carried on throughout the year. It was mainly through the efforts of these helpful advisers that the ninth graders were adequately prepared for their future days in senior high. Seated: Miss Holmgren, Miss Doering, Mrs. Golhar.

A sports enthusiast, Jim was active in athletics. Vice-president, Mickey Parrott, displayed interest in school events through active participation in the field of sports. With the establishment of the class treasury, Steve Larson was in charge of financial matters. Steve also gave much of his time to athletics. The secretarial duties were taken care of by Jane McCormick who helped in the organization of class activities. Class of Nineteen Fifty-ei glit Learning the fundamentals of participation and school spirit were important accomplishments of the eighth graders this past year. They gained valuable experience from the parts they took in activities and became aware of the responsibilities they would gain in the coming year as leaders of the junior high. By joining the midget football team in the fall, many of the boys proved their ardent interest in athletics. This enhusiasm was carried over into basketball season as the boys practiced basketball on Saturdays in the gymnasium. With the organization of G.A.A., seventy two energetic girls played volley ball, soccer, and basketball, among other sports, every Tuesday after school. Eighth grade talent was displayed in the sophomore talent show with Dorothy Eidsvold, Susan Chaney, Susan Lowe, and David Beim representing their class. Providing a memorable night full of games and dancing, the first moonlight, held in January, was termed a success by its excited and satisfied guests. Winding up the year by organizing a class picnic, the eighth graders gave further evidence of their class unity. EIGHTH GRADE CLASS ADVISERS Since they had established themselves as individuals in school, it was now the task of the eighth graders to become uni-• fied as a class. Knowing that the students were earnest in their desires and were willing to work toward the fulfillment of this goal, the eighth grade advisers planned the many activities that were carried out by the class. Through the guidance and stimulus of their faculty advisers, the eighth grade has made strides in class development. Page 72 Seated: Mr. Chapman, Mrs. Haugen.

Page 76 The Memorable First Moonlight Seventh Graders Take Part in Class Discussion fUJe.r'ie 0 1 o t i way to4AM uHi lucflte i aclUeoesneiiti Holding the distinction of being the largest class ever enrolled in Edina, the seventh grade, comprised of two hundred and twenty-five students, eagerly began their first year in junior high. Because of its size, the class encountered various problems, and as they arose, the students displayed an important characteristic necessary in their new environment—the ability to co-operate. When the seventh graders were unable to attend auditorium programs due to lack of seating facilities, they provided their own entertainment in the form of sunlights in the gymnasium. Masquerading in original costumes at a Hal- loween party and receiving gifts from Santa Claus at a Christmas sunlight, were entertaining afternoons for the enthusiastic students. Besides taking part in social functions, the seventh graders became successfully adjusted to their classes and studies and displayed scholastic potential by their large representation on the honor roll. Junior high organizations and athletics aroused spirit and interest among the seventh graders as they had opportunities to develop integrated personalities by participating in activities. SEVENTH GRADE CLASS ADVISERS Orientating the seventh graders to the ways of classes, studies, and activities of high school life was the task of the seventh grade advisers. As it was the largest class in the school, the job was not an easy one; but, the advisers worked patiently to help the new students understand and become familiar with their surroundings. By offering their guidance to the entire class, the advisers succeeded in helping each student realize his place in the school. Seated: Mr� . Nordell, Miss Christesen, Mrs. Armstrong.

A A K I I I « I I jy r Forming a link between the students and the faculty, the Student Council discusses and tries to solve problems that arise during the year. In an attempt to keep wasted time and effort at a minimum, the council is divided into various, committees, each being responsible for a certain phase of council work. Committee chairmen for this year were: ethics, Ted Furber and Penn Nelson; civil service, Mary Jo Dondore and George Johnson social, Bobbi Caron; hall and building, Ted Blanch and Bill Larson; and student-teacher, Marie Ruoss and Keith Lindgren. During the year the council planned and supervised Homecoming, settled problems concerning the library, and provided one hundred dollars toward the expense of our visiting foreign students. Their largest project was sponsoring monthly dances, held on Saturday nights. Something new at Edina, these dances, were met with hearty enthusiasm and support by the students. Since it ratifies and organizes many important functions, the Student Council is the essential student body in our school and justly merits the cooperation of the entire school. ounci il D ances Highlight Year Row 1: J.

Junior Council Learns Self Government Under the supervision of Mr. Rollond Ring, assistant principal, the Junior High Student Council strove to make improvements which would benefit the entire school. Throughout the year recommendations for solutions were made concerning such problems as the lunch program, the library, and pep fest attendance. On March 16, with Tom King as master of ceremonies, they sponsored their annual Beat the Clock program which was patterned after the television show of the same name. Providing entertainment for all, there were nearly one hundred participants in the laughter-filled contests, including both students and teachers. Working along with the Senior Council, they helped promote the clothing drive on April 26. The Junior Council also took an active part in the Community Chest Drive and the March of Dimes Campaign. Sending books to Korea was another of their many worthy projects. Officers who worked untiringly to complete their year of accomplishments were Ronald Berglund, president; Pam Clausen, vice-president; Sharon Hamilton, secretary; and Georganna Scoggin, treasurer. Page 85 Red Cross Gains Prestige Multiplying its services to desperate people the world over, Edina's Red Cross Council under the advisorship of Miss Ardis Towler, has grown steadily in prestige and importance. Bob Dehaven realized this when he invited twelve members of the council to appear on his WCCO Good Neighbor Program where he explained the accomplishments and aims of our Red Cross Council. At Christmas, several homerooms wrapped gifts which were given to a children's home, while other homerooms, who made fruit baskets, had the fun of delivering them to an old people's home. A Y-Teen club. Sigma Eta Alpha, also co-operated in the Red Cross Christmas activities by singing carols in a home for the aged. All who participated in these projects felt their time was well spent, and are eager to help again next year. In February several of the council's ambitious members assembled one evening and made Valentine nut cups and tray mats for various hospitals. Later in the month the preparation of gift boxes for children overseas got underway. The innovation of a canoe in the main hall to help raise money for this project aroused the interest and help of many students. Paralleled with this project was the annual construction of a gift chest by the Language Department. With the aid of the Industrial Arts Department, boys from each language class constructed a chest in which were placed many essential as well as luxurious articles. Each year the chest is sent to a different foreign country. The council's eventful year wound up with a successful enrollment drive which was started off with a program that included a movie and guest speakers. Row 1: I. Schutte, K. Dressen, B. Gcbo, A.

Every year Edina's junior high has been a perfect example of participation in Red Cross activities, and this year was no exception. Under the able guidance of their faculty adviser. Miss Tess Doering, the council members had a busy year which was filled with many diversified service projects. Collecting used playing cards for patients at the University Hospital was the first of these. Members of the council also found time to distribute Red Cross posters to the many business establishments in both the communities of Edina and Morningside. Girls in the home economics class created stuffed animals and baby layettes that were remarkably original and attractive. And, as always, our print shop co-operated in making colorful Christmas holiday menu covers for several Minneapolis hospitals and rest homes. One of the most significant and enjoyable activities carried out by the junior council, in conjunction with their senior counterpart, was the annual filling of the all-important gift boxes for the people of Europe less fortunate than we of Edina. Again the boys in the print shop devoted several class hours to the Red Cross for the preparation of one hundred and fifty white scratch pads to be placed in the boxes. Students in their homerooms then worked together and donated numerous educational and entertaining articles which helped fill a good portion of the canoe displayed in the front hall. A one hundred per cent enrollment drive in March concluded the junior high Red Cross council's year of outstanding achievement. Red Cross boxes fill canoe. Page 87 Honor Society Rewards Achievement Membership in the National Honor Society is the highest award a student may receive. Each spring ten per cent of the senior class and five per cent of the junior class are chosen by the junior and senior teachers for membership to this society. To be eligible for selection, which is based on service, scholastic achievement, leadership qualities, and character traits, students must be in the upper one-third of their class. This spring the National Honor Society members who were selected last year presented a school assembly in which the new members were inducted.

Membership to this organization is determined by both the student's scholastic rating and the amount and quality of material he has written for any high school publication. At their initiation, held last spring, each new member received the official pin and a subscription to Quill and Scroll the special publication of the organization. Faculty advisors of Quill and Scroll are Mrs. Rauha Hagemeister and Mr. Elmer Lundgren.

As a UNESCO project, the Thespians produced their annual mid-winter play, Our Town, in conjunction with International Theater Month. Proceeds from the play aided the students selected to go to Europe under the American Field Service Plan. Chris Porterfield presided over the sixteen members of this dramatic society. Others on the executive committee were Ann Hodgson, vice president; Patty Powers, secretary; and Jo Johnson, treasurer. Faculty adviser was Mr. Delmar Fredrickson. National Thespians Row 1: M. King.

Class of ’53 presents Arsenic and Old Lace” Teddy Roosevelt takes tea. Policemen make arrest. Excellent casting Helped convey the mystery and humor of Arsenic and Old Lace which was presented in April last year by the senior class of '53. In a delightful manner, Judy Veilleux and Artise Egulf portrayed Martha and Abbie Brewster, the quaint ladies who had a hobby of indiscriminately poisoning gentlemen callers with their home made elderberry wine. The subplot involved the romance of Mortimer Brewster, Ab-bie's and Martha's nephew and Elaine Harper. Both realizing the unlawful acts of these two women, Mortimer and Elaine aid in placing the sisters in a mental home. Eccentric Teddy Brewster, enacted by Bill Kelly, added comedy to the play with his cries of charge! Suspense was introduced by the appearance of the sisters' nephew, Jonathan Brewster, played by Garry Butterfield, and his partner. Dr. Herman Einstein, portrayed by Tom Joas, whose voice had a close resemblance to that of Peter Lorre, and added a weird tone to the scene. Bill Kelly and Judy Veilleux received Edina Oscar awards for their superior performances in this play. Still considered by many as the most outstanding comedy presented at Edina, this play has proven to be a lasting success. Abbie Brewster .... Martha Brewster ....

Juniors star in Father of tlie Bride” One of the most entertaining events of the year was the presentation of Father of the Bride by the junior class on November 19th and 20th. Revolving around the coming marriage of Kay Banks to Buckley Dunstan, the plot brought out the trials and tribulations of their wedding. Mrs. Banks was able to keep her composure throughout the trying period, but Mr. Banks became quite harassed before the final marriage vows were made. The antics of Kay's younger brother. Tommy, the Bank's maid, Delilah, and Mr. Massoula and his assistants from Buckingham Caterers added confusion to the wedding preparations, but without them the play would not have been as humorous. One of the most dramatic moments occurred when Miss Bellamy, Mr. Bank's secretary, resigned rendering a fiery quotation from Abraham Lincoln. Kay's other brother, Ben, and the girl next door, Peggy Swift, added a romantic sub-plot to the play. Much of the credit for the success of this play goes to Mr. Delmar Fredrickson, director of the play. Then too, the efficient work of the various committees was very beneficial to the smooth production.

Let me see too! Page 91 Our Town” Presented by Tbespians Sponsored by Notional Thespians and directed by Delmar Fredrickson, Our Town captivated audiences on March 4 and 6. The absence of props and scenery was unnoticed as the superb performance of the cast was spotlighted. Taking place in Grover's Corner, New Hampshire, the play depicts three phases of life: dally life, love and marriage, and death. Narration and continuity were furnished by the outstanding performance of Ted Furber in the role of stage manager. Proceeds were given to the four students winning scholarships to Europe.

Stars of Our Town lie Man Wk o Came to Dinner presented by Seniors You know why. Dad. A furor resulted in a small Ohio town, when Mr. Whiteside, a renowned orator, arrived on a lecture tour. Mrs. Stanley, the town's social climber immediately issued a dinner invitation to him, which was accepted with great condescension. That night the catastrophe occurred when he slipped and broke his hip on the Stanley doorstep. At first overjoyed by the sudden addition to their family, the Stanleys soon lamented over the complete domination of their arrogant guest. Their unusual tribulations along with the ironic ending made the play a hilarious success. Tom C. remains unconvinced. Mrs. Ernest W. Stanley.........................

Spring Festival Culminates Year Choir ensemble This year the Senior Choir was again directed by Mr. Lyle Gilbert, who has headed the Vocal Music Department for five years. Under his capable leadership, the choir was able to put on an excellent array of programs during the past year. Making their first public appearance, the choir presented Fred Waring's Song of Christmas at their fifth annual Christmas music concert. Consisting of five solo and two quartet parts, the program gave many students an opportunity to perform befdre a large audience. Soon after the Christmas vacation, the choir began preparing for the Lake Conference Vocal Music Festival, held at Minnetonka High School on April 7. At this festival, each school in the Lake Conference presented the songs they had prepared. Then all the choirs joined together in a mass chorus conducted by Leland B. Sateren, director of the Augsburg College Music Department. In order to create more interest among the student body, the choir sang well-known songs from the latest musical shows at their spring concert, which ended another successful year. The choir members found that besides being fun, their year under Mr. Gilbert was very beneficial toward the development of their music abilities. Page 94 Row 1 left to Right: D. Rusiol, S. Holter, C.

Enthusiasm Is Keynote of Junior Choir Music hath charm, and the seventy-eight members of the Junior Choir did a commendable job of exhibiting this charm at their various performances. At the fifth annual Christmas concert, their first performance, the choir entertained audiences with melodies in the holiday vein. Songs which filled the student body and P. T. A. with Christmas spirit included Joy to the World, A Joyous Christmas Song and Winter Wonderland. To finish the year of 1953-54, the Junior Choir participated in the high school's spring musical program. Supplementing novelty songs, were selections from several famous musical comedies. The audience warmed to these numbers from Kismet and Me anc’ Juliet as did the members of the choir. Acquaintance with different types of musical selections was provided by the variety of music. Providing incentive, inspiration, and instruction for all choir accomplishments was Mr. Lyle Gilbert who worked with the Junior Choir one hour every day. To further their understanding of music, Mr. Gilbert taught the choir many new musical terms which also aided them in preparing for musical programs. Activity and enjoyment highlighted a year which likewise provided the choir with a substantial musical background needed to join the Senior Choir. Of prime importance, however, is a quality that they gained probably unknowingly. Never to be lost or perhaps not even realized till later in life, is the appreciation of music which was instilled in the choir members. Page 95 Band practices daily. Senior Band Sets Precedents In preparation for its long calendar of events, the band began enthusiastic practice in September under the guidance of their new director, Mr. Butler Eitel. Jointly with the choir, the band gave their first performance at the 5th annual Christmas concert of December 15th. In both the afternoon and evening performances, the band played an array of Christmas songs including Winter Wonderland and Sleighride. Consisting of band parents and other interested adults, the newly organized Band Booster Club was responsible for the band's appearance at a Laker basketball game. The concert of light music that was presented for the student body on March 10th was received so well that it is sure to become an annual event. Band members showed their versatility by playing semi-classical, popular, and jazz numbers which featured solos by Bud Brisbois, Roger Kirschner, Winnie Feirke, and Dick Siebert. Row 1: C.

Sandra Lofgren and Arnold Coppe played a drum duet, John Hardisty and Marilyn Laughlin played a flute duet and Winnie Feirke and Chris Porterfield played a clarinet duet. The band was well represented in both the district and state music contests claiming many A ratings. Following these contests, the band left for the annual spring tour. In addition to new friendships and fun, the band also gained experience from this tour, which was successful in all respects. Likely to become a tradition is their band banquet sponsored this year by the Band Booster Club. At this dinner, deserving band members received letters, contest awards were distributed, and a plaque engraved with the names of the most outstanding members was presented. Mr. Eitel, through his tireless efforts, has instilled in the members of the band the quality of hard work which has been responsible for the band's distinct improvement throughout the year. Marching Band performs during half. Mr. Eitel directs band. Under the supervision of its new director, Butler R. Eitel, this year's Marching Band introduced several new routines and attractions for the entertainment of the large crowds that turned out for the home games. On the first day of school the band prepared for the opening game only four days away. This initial show featured a HELLO facing the visitors and an E for Edina facing the home stand. Mr. Eitel brought with him many new formations which the old members had to learn while forgetting those learned in previous years. During the games the cornet section could be heard rendering several new fight fanfares which were enthusiastically received by the crowds. New cap-lights brought many comments when they appeared in the homecoming crown, the American flag, and on the toes of the senior band in the Dark Town Strutters Ball dance routine of the pre-game show. In keeping with the popular trend of th year, Edina proved no exception in the presentations of shows built around popular theme songs, such as Dragnet called Saint George and the Drag-onette. This plot, taken from the old legend about the patron saint of England, was modernized as if happening in the present day of efficient law-enforcing agencies. In a dance show the favorite Bunnyhop was performed by members of the Junior Band to the music of the Senior Band. Perhaps the highlight of the season was the presentation Hats Off to Football featuring the most familiar identifying symbols associated with the athletic staff. To conclude the show, the band formed the shrinking dollar sign to indicate the rising cost of supporting a football team. Well rewarded for their tiring work, the one hundred and twenty-five regulars and alternates of the Marching Band had a very effective and successful year. Page 97 Junior Band Fulfills Aspirations Junior Band practices As a result of a vigorous band recruiting program in the grade school, the junior band has increased in size and ability. This growth has meant more and keener competition among band members for section leadership and for entrance into the senior band. Many members of the junior band participated in small ensembles or played solos for the junior high band contest at St. Louis Park. At the mid-year, three students, John Engstrom, Sharon Karizon, and Delores Kinney completed requirements and were promoted to the senior band. This year, much of the work in the junior band was done on an individual basis. Each member follows a chart of requirements known as the Prescott System. After completing these requirements the student may advance into the senior band. During the year the junior band presented selections in the Christmas pageant and Spring concert. In these programs they exhibited the progress that they had made since school started. This progress could not have been possible without the indefatiguable efforts of Mr. Butler Eitel, Edina Band Director, and the unsurpassed enthusiasm of the junior high band members. Row 1: G.

Page 98 Language Clubs Sponsor Fetes” Composed of fifty-five students, the French Club is an organization as eager for work as it is for fun. Last fall, the French II students staged a French play, Blanche Neige or, in English, Snow White. Students of French I planned the second meeting at which four students from University High, who had been abroad, appeared as guest speakers. With the aid of colored films, these visitors enriched the members' knowledge of France. Each year students look forward to the Beaux Arts Ball, the French clubbers' number one project. Through cooperation between adviser. Miss Ardyce LaPray, and members, presided over by Dave Beal, another year was successfully completed. Ubi ignis est? is one question that all Latin students will long remember. The answer might well be in the Latin Club. Sparked by president Steve Lundgren and serving as a method of stimulating interest in Roman culture and background, the Latin Club arranges various programs for its members. The Roman Banquet, their biggest event of the year, is unusual because guests dress in Roman costumes and eat traditional food in the old Roman style. Entertainment is provided after the meal, and prizes are awarded for the best costumes. Officers of the Latin Club are: president, Steve Lundgren; vice-president. Bob Engstrom; secretary, Mary Crawford; and treasurer, Tom Moe. Miss Verdella Holmgren is the adviser. Page 99 Evelyn Kaufmann, Co-editor Row 1: A. Allivato, P. Froyen, J. Bolduc, M. Short. Row 2: K.

If anyone walked into room 105 after school he would find the industrious Buzzette staff writing stories, inventing new moneymaking projects, or doing the numerous other tasks involved in publishing a school paper. So many people forget the countless hours of work devoted to a publication and merely receive it without ever knowing what goes on behind the scenes. The entire staff is to be congraulated for the exceptional job they did in keeping the students informed on school happenings. Co-editors, chosen to head the entire paper this year, were Barbara Anderson and Evelyn Kaufmann. Always willing to help them solve any problems or to give them suggestions on improvements was Mrs. Rauha Hagemeister, who has been the Buzzette adviser for five years. Several section editors in charge of various pages or parts of the paper also contributed to its success. Tom C. Nelson and Karen Dreessen, the second page editors, wrote the humor column, editorials, and miscellaneous news. Articles about Hi-Y and Y-Teens plus small news bits were found on page three, under Patty Foy and Sandra Irizarry. As responsible sports editors, Ed Koch and Bob Buffington found there was never a dull moment. Jean Bolduc, art editor, was in charge of cutting linoleum blocks to illustrate the second page editorials. The job of exchange editors Row 1: R. Cole, M. Sommers, S. Hanson, J. Joas. Row 2: J.

A new position this year, the personality editor, was held by Nancy Bell, who kept a record of every student's name that appeared in an issue of the paper. Approximately twenty-five other staff members, besides these different editors, reported special stories and news bits. Rime-light, which told in rhymes something about four seniors each issue, was a novice to the '53-54 Buzzette. Special features this year were the Homecoming issue which contained an inserted page listing all Edina alumni and what they were doing, and a graduation section in the final May paper revealing each senior's name, address, and choice of college or work. Because there was only a limited amount of money to spend in publishing our paper, which is free to all students and teachers, the staff had several money making projects thereby enabling the paper to have extra cuts, pictures, insert pages, and an April Fools issue. Getting out the papers means work, and lots of it. In the estimation of the Buzzette staff, however, the result was well worth the labor, for nothing is more gratifying than putting out a superior paper. Back Row: J. Parker, D. Hyde, D. Sicbcrl.

And, though its burden sometimes seemed discouraging, the adventure, the fun, and the result tied together into a wonderful experience. With their first meeting in July, the new staff began the prodigious undertaking of publishing the 1954 yearbook. Ideas were weighed and formulated at this meeting. Then materialized the first dummy. When school convened the pub room became the scene of concentrated activity. With advertising and subscription staffs, the business manager successfully carried the responsibility of financing the book. At this time, too, began the huge job of the staff photographer whose obligations lasted throughout the entire year. With the taking of pictures and filling out of activity questionnaires, the senior section began to take shape. Responsibilities of the classes section increased this year with the innovation of separate pictures of each underclassman. Work on the faculty division included compiling information about and taking formal pictures of the entire faculty. Row 1: C. Wells, B. Bosard, B. Larson, J. Forrest. Row 2: D. Willson, D.

The activities section worked hard to keep abreast of the wide variety of activities, such as school clubs, plays, and councils. Arranging and obtaining the descriptions and pictures of all the sports in which Edina students took part were the duties of the sports staff. The student life section staff mounted and added witty captions to the candid shots chosen to go into the section. Copy written by each section was turned over to the copy staff who fitted, corrected, typed, and proofread the stories for the printer. In charge of the artwork throughout the book was the art staff. Section editors co-operated under the guidance of Lois Leiv-estad and Bev Beckman, the tireless co-editors who gave their time and energy unhesitatingly. Also, a great amount of credit and appreciation goes to our superb adviser, Mr. Lundgren, who has worked with the type of enthusiasm and interest that left nothing to be desired. To those who read this book in the years after graduation, the Whigrean staff wishes good luck. Compiling a record of the past, we hope that our good wishes will be remembered in the future.

Cabinet Links Y-leen Clubs Edina's Y-Teens has given girls in the senior high an opportunity for fun and fellowship, and at the same time it has served as a place for development of leadership. An impressive induction ceremony, at which lighting of candles from one light symbolizing the purpose of Y-Teens, was held at the central branch. Y-Teeners were proud of the football championship won by the team but, not to be outdone, they took to our field in a football game entitled The Powderbowl where they proved their ability as athletes. Valentine Sunday found Karen Pittelkow playing hostess to the girls at their annual silver tea for which Louis Johnson and his band provided music. February 24, was the big International Fair at the YWCA which was attended by over four hundred people. To help the Minneapolis Y earn its World Fellowship pledge of $3,000 which was sent to Korea, Edina Y-Teens, representing America, sponsored a pie and bingo booth. The cabinet, meeting bi-monthly with their adviser Marilyn Jensen, served as coordinator between the chapters and the all school club. Heading it were the officers: Ginny Burris, president; Sandra Irizarry, vice-president; Barb Tennis, secretary; and Lois Leivestad, treasurer. President Ginny Burris and ICC representative Lois Leivestad represented Edina at the Upper Midwest Conference held at Carleton College last fall. Based on the theme A World to Share, many wonderful suggestions in leading their individual Y-Teens groups were given to the girls. Climaxing the year was the Senior Farewell Banquet at which a wonderful dinner was served, followed by a program and installation of officers. Y-Teen cabinet meeting Page 104 Sponsoring the second annual hayride provided a successful beginning for the Aeda Theta's. A worthwhile project which kept every girl busy was making tray favors and presenting them to patients of the Sister Kenny Hospital. To make this project more interesting, the club had a representative from Sister Kenny come out and talk to them before they toured the hospital. In April, the club was in charge of the April all-school meeting. Row 1: A. Flower, trees.; G. Burris, v. pres.; M. Aske, pres.; S. Bergren, sec. Row 2: B. Kirk, D. Hageman, J. Mattson, J.

In December the club sang Christmas carols at an old peoples' home. After Christmas, a guest speaker who was a model gave the club members hints on modeling. To supplement their treasury, the Tri U's sold cake during lunch. As an added activity, members played volleyball and basketball in the high school gym. Row Is L. Noville, secretary; J.

The active members of this group were guests of a Hi-Y club from Washburn at a combined meeting and later, hostesses to the same club. Further in the year, regular meetings featured interesting and enlightening discussions. QUATRE RAISONS Quatre Raisons Y-Teen chapter had an interesting as well as worthwhile year. Besides working actively on large projects like the YWCA International Fair, Quatre Raisons sponsored many projects of their own. Tray favors were made and sent to the University Children's ward, while oil cloth toys and story books were sent to other children. The club obtained their much-needed funds through cake and cheerio sales. Page 106 IXIONS Through their many diversified activities, Ixions completed a year of success. Their various service projects such as making Thanksgiving tray favors, sending Christmas gifts through Santa Anonymous to needy children throughout Minnesota, and collecting books for the Red Cross, gave members the satisfaction of helping others. Speakers, panel discussions, and parties held with Hi-Y clubs from other schools contributed to many enjoyable meetings. RHO DELTA THETA Beginning a year of successful projects, Rho Delja Theta sent representatives to the YWCA to decorate the front entrance for the Hanging of the Greens Ceremony at Christmas time. Highlighted by the appearance of Oz Black, local artist and humorist, the club sponsored the February meeting of all-school Y-Teens. For the March Y-Teen International Fair, members baked pies and called bingo numbers. Row 1: M. Sommers, treasurer; A. Stafford, vice president; M. Willson, president; P. Kulp, secretary. Row 2: S.

Cabinet Promotes Diversified Activities Edina-Morningside's Hi-Y, under the supervision of Mr. John Ehlert and the leadership of the all-school officers, provides Edina Hi-Y boys with extra-curricular activities, besides giving them a chance to develop leadership and good character. These traits are upheld by complying to the Hi-Y creed which is to create, maintain, and extend high standards of Christian character throughout the home, school, and community. All-school Hi-Y cabinet attempts to fulfill all the needs of the individual clubs. Bob Allen, serving as president of the cabinet, more than provided for these needs through his hard work and tireless efforts. Working diligently with Bob to plan programs and arrange for all-school meetings were Pete Pirsch, vice-president; Bob Buffington, secretary; Penn Nelson, treasurer; and Chris Porterfield, chaplain. These boys met and discussed all problems relative to the successful unification of the Hi-Y chapters. First among their many activities was the induction ceremony which opened the way for all senior high boys wishing to become members of Hi-Y. Volunteer speakers were provided by the Edina Hi-Y to introduce the Community Chest Drive in the Minneapolis churches. December heralded the annual Hi-Y Christmas formal and the Y's Men's Christmas tree sale in which boys from all the various Hi-Y clubs sold Christmas tree tickets and spent much of their time working in the Y's Men's lot. At the beginning of the second semester was the election of new chapter officers and many all-school sponsored programs including activities such as basketball and volley ball games held in the school gymnasium to help Hi-Y boys learn sportsmanship. The annual Palm Sunday breakfast and the senior farewell banquet brought a close to a most successful year. A Hi-Y chapter meeting Page 108 DEI GRATIA TRI-ALPHA Tri-Alpha Hi-Y had an active year of athletic activities, social events, lectures on subjects such as crime prevention, and discussions. Members were occupied by playing basketball in the high school gymnasium, working on the annual Hi-Y Christmas Formal, and presenting a Christmas dinner to a needy family.

Page 110 Pep Club Arouses Student Enthusiasm Lively is the word for our Pep club, the organization of girls in grades nine through twelve which has been promoting school spirit and good sportsmanship since 1950. The club's ever-growing membership now stands at one-hundred and fifty, a sizeable cheering section for any teaml In co-operation with the cheerleaders, this organization has originated and introduced several new cheers and songs at pep-fests, where members have also presented skits designed to arouse interest and enthusiasm among the student body. Attending all football and basketball games as a group. Pep club has proved invaluable in boosting the morale of the team and the spirit of the spectators. Edina boasts a Girls Athletic Association as the newest addition to its long list of extra-curricular activities. Promotion of good sportsmanship through actual participation in various sports is this active group's purpose. The junior high section met on Tuesday afternoons while the senior high met on Thursday. As spring came, the winter sports of paddle-minton and volleyball gave way to softball, golf, and tennis. With the accumulation of five-hundred points, members become eligible to receive a letter; however, all girls may buy their official sweatshirt with the hornet emblem enfixed upon it. Page 111 C. Horris, C. Well , B. Caron, J. Egulf, C. Veith. Sek ool Spirit Boosted by Cheerleaders An enthusiastic addition to our school, Edina's cheerleaders worked hard at the football and basketball games boosting the spirit of both team and crowd. In November the A squad and its adviser. Miss Phyllis Graebner, attended an annual Lake Conference cheerleader's meeting held at Mound High School. From their discussion, this peppy group received many ideas for new cheers which they worked out at their practices and presented at the weekly pep-fests. B squad cheerleaders, who also took part in the pep-fests, were the promoters behind the attendance and support of B squad games. In recognition of their time and effort, Edina tips its hat to this group of livewires who did so much to spark our school spirit. C. Johnson, D. Hunter, J. Balfany, M. Carlson, J. Rossiter. Page 112 E Club Draws Sportsmen Since the role of the combined forces of athletes in a school influences student body morale, the lettermen of Edina have assembled into the E Club. The club, functioning under a constitution which stresses the athlete's responsibility of service toward the school, has endeavored to maintain a high standard of achievement in the projects which it has undertaken. Supplementing the equipment bought by the athletic department, this group has done much to aid in the financing of various articles. A whirlpool bath, a machine used in releasing pain from pulled or bruised muscles, was consequently purchased this year. Since the spring sports have no way of supporting themselves, the club also donates a considerable amount of money to buy their equipment. In order to maintain a treasury capable of supporting these projects, the E Club must manage such activities as Tag Day, student-faculty basketball and baseball games, and Winter Sports Day. Lack of snow did not dampen the enthusiasm of the club or the students at the third annual sports day. King Bill Larson, Queen Nancy Bell, Knight Albert Schultz, and all of their sub- jects enjoyed this day which was highlighted by various games, a dinner, and dance. Other social events sponsored by the E Club included a toboggan party held at Theodore Wirth Park early in January and the annual spring dance. The Big E , on April 7. Officers are Larry Wilson, president; Bill Larson, vice-president; Ross Humphrey, secretary; and Tom Simpson, treasurer.

With these students to help take care of such duties as shelving books and keeping statistics on library materials, efficiency and smoothness has increased considerably. The library helpers were willing to assist any student who was unable to find a publication or to understand the various library procedures. D. Lang, D. Norn , E. Howe, M. Milter, D. Houston, D.

Every hour there were at least three students working in the office helpfully collecting and tabulating attendance slips, calling the homes of the absentees, formulating and distributing the tardy lists, and showing ors around the school. Students that work in the office have rendered a limitless service to the school and have proved themselves to be indispensable. w,°r .V - .B; McCrea, W. May, J. Holcombe. Row 2: M. Strecker, J.

In white formals, the queen candidates—Judy Beim escorted by Mauritz Mortenson, Nancy Bell by Ted Blanch, Bobbi Caron by Ted Furber, Mary Jo Dondore by Bud Bonn, and Beverly Feldhake by Bill Larson—took their places on the stage. Keith Lindgren and Peter Pirsch finely broke the suspense by announcing as Homecoming Queen Mary Jo Dondore. Holding red roses from the football team, she read the royal proclamation. Master of ceremonies Peter Purdy soon announced skits by the royal subjects: a take-off on Dragnet by the freshmen girls, a portrayal of homecomings in the past by the faculty, and an international interpretation of our school song by the senior girls. During the game's half-time, three shiny convertibles carrying the queen and her attendants slowly circled the track surrounding the football field amid the cheers of the crowd. Queen Mary Jo welcomed her loyal subjects and invited them to the dance after the game. Each senior high homeroom entered a float. Built by the junior class, the winning float featured a guillotine de-tailing robins, in keeping with the slogan De-tail Robbinsdale. After the game, the dance, which was held in the gymnasium, was based on the theme of welcoming Edina alumni. Due to the combined efforts of the many committees under the direction of co-chairmen Vicki Moore and Ted Furber, the 1953 Homecoming will long be remembered as one of our best.

Page 119 Students Drawn to Christmas Formal Candidates for Hi-Y Sweetheart. Sandy Welsh proclaimed Sweetheart. Students enjoy council dance. Decorated with gigantic snowflakes and heavenly blue and white balloons, our gymnasium was converted by the Hi-Y organization into a Winter Wonderland. As couples drifted in, the music of Dick Maw and his band enhanced the atmosphere. During the intermission, which was handled by Dick Anderson and Tom Nelson, Hi-Y Sweetheart candidates Judy Beim, Judy Byers, Beverly Feldhake, Roxanne Rosendahl, and Sandy Welsh anxiously awaited the decision. Sandy Welsh was proclaimed Hi-Y Sweetheart and given a dozen red roses. Party-goers then made their way to the refreshment table. Under the direction of co-chairmen John Ston-house and Squeak Mortenson, all the chapters were coordinated and integrated, thereby making the dance a great success. Tom Nelson entertains. Page 120 Wind threatens royal aplomb. Winter Sports Day provided an opportunity for the whole school to participate in a wide variety of games and events which were organized by the determined efforts of the members of the E Club. The coronation of the snow king and queen started the day's events. Many students gathered around the throne to witness the ceremony in which Nancy Bell and Bill Larson were crowned queen and king and Albert Schultz, knight. Highlighted by the broom hockey games which attracted teams of both boys and girls, the day furnished spectators as well as participants with action and fun. A dinner and dance, held in the cafeteria and community room, concluded the day's activities. Winter Sports Day also proved to be successful in that the profits were sufficient to supplement the E Club's fund for purchasing the much needed whirlpool. Queen Nancy and King Bill are crowned by coronation chairman. Olson, Schultz, and Blanch pose as court jesters, I dub thee knight. Sir Schultz. Mr. C. Assimacopoulos locates Greece. Ted Blanch greets Carl T. Rowan, guest speaker. Edina's sincere interest in the world's people was again exhibited on March 26, our fourth annual International Day. When the students had eagerly assembled in the auditorium for the morning program, the choir keynoted the day with an appropriate selection of songs for this special occasion. We were privileged to have an outstanding speaker, Mr. Carl Rowan, the nationally known journalist who delivered an inspiring address, The United Nations' Living—A Personal Conviction. At the conclusion of his talk, the students departed for their various classroom seminars at which twelve foreign students from the University and our neighboring high schools presided. The Ashig Ali of Pakistan answers student questions. Page 122 leaders represented France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Nigeria, India, Turkey, Pakistan and Greece. The groups were rotated so that each student had an opportunity to hold informal discussions with six of these panelists. By afternoon everyone was refreshed and ready to enjoy the motion picture, The Boy With Green Hair. A fitting conclusion to the day's activities, this was a most memorable film which combined fact with fancy in a plea for abolition of intolerance and war. International Day is observed to give our students a feeling of oneness with foreign people, thus bettering understanding between America and her neighbors. Foreign guests and faculty converse over coffee. Ganiyu Jawondo describes life in Nigeria. Umit Cakmur discusses strategic Turkey. Page 123 Moonlight and Roses” Theme of Prom Like a panorama of pastel colors, the formally dressed couples were seen dancing to the music of Bruce Dybvig at the Interlachen Country Club, which was cleverly decorated to carry out the theme of Moonlight and Roses. A finale to the many dances held throughout the year, the 1953 J. S. provided all who attended with a memorable evening. Congratulations Squeak! As the end of the school year approached, the juniors were busy preparing for the Junior-Senior Prom. Led by co-chairmen Bud Bonn and Bobbi Caron, the prom committees spread enthusiasm and aroused the interest of both the junior and senior classes. Highlighting the dance was the announcement of the 1954 senior class officers during the intermission. Chaperones enjoy dance too. Intermission Riff Do the Bunny Hop! Students await refreshments. Page 124 Commencement Activities Thrill Seniors The members of the class of '53, having received their diplomas and attended the sophomore reception, went to the parent-sponsored Coronation Ball held at the Concord School. After a grand march and coronation of each senior, the party-goers danced, enjoyed a baby-picture-guessing contest, played table games, and huddled to have their fortunes told. Soon it was time for the song-and-dance performance by the Schiek Sextet, after which was served delicious chicken salad, sandwiches, and ice cream. Drawings for prizes were then held until each senior had won one prize. When the party ended at two-thirty, many graduates went to various open houses held by the parents. Festivities were concluded by a parent-sponsored breakfast at the Country Club. Song fest at graduation party. Page 125 School royalty.

BLOOMINGTON Starting the season with the disadvantage of having lost twenty-six letter men, the Edina Hornets were not favored to repeat as Lake Conference Champions. Our team was rewarded for its long, hard hours of practice during the weeks prior to the opening game by a smashing 65-0 victory over Bloomington. With the tremendous blocking and tackling of their teammates, Ted Blanch, Tom Fritz, Bill Larson, Bob Johnson, Dave North, and Bill Hibbs all carried the pigskin over the goal. Bud Bonn's placements also boosted the score. The first victory helped explode the myth that the Hornets would be only an also ran in football. Fritz stiff-arms potential tackier. EDINA VS. WAYZATA Edina stretched its winning streak to twelve by downing Wayzata. Aided by his teammates, Ted Blanch bowled over for the first touchdown, and Bud Bonn kicked the extra point in the first two minutes of play. Wayzata then earned two points by catching Edina behind its goal. The third quarter put the Trojans back to their own four yard line, and on a fourth down Edina's Tom Fritz fell on the pigskin in the end zone for a second touchdown. In the fourth quarter, Dave North's key block let Blanch over center and enabled him to run 64 yards for our last touchdown. Bonn's kick was good, making the final score 20-2. Page 130 EDINA-MOUKO The Hornets made it thirteen straight by defeating Mound 39-0. Mohawk fumbles set up the first two Edina tallies, with Ted Blanch running for one and throwing to Bill Larson for the other. Bud Bonn added the extra point. Edina capitalized on another fumble by driving over from the 19. As the first half ended, Tom Moe grabbed Bob Johnson's pass and ran for the third touchdown, and Fritz followed by plowing over with Bob Johnson kicking the extra points. In addition to a powerful offense, the well-coached Besonites displayed a foolproof defense, with Glen Nelson, Bill Hibbs, and Tom Fritz doing outstanding jobs. Blanch meets opponent with hungry look. EDINA-HOPKINS The Hornets invaded Warriorville for the clash of the two undefeated teams that could easily be rated the best football game of the season. After Glen Nelson recovered a Hopkins fumble, the Hornets drove down to the two yard line to score. Bob Johnson converted. In the third quarter Dave North tallied the winning touchdown when he returned a punt 63 yards behind some beautiful blocking. Then Hopkins, on a continued drive from their own 35, scored over right tackle. The closing minutes found the Warriors valiantly trying to pass for the tying or winning touchdown, but the Hornets stood firm and defeated the Warriors 13-7. Thus, Edina entered the home-stretch of the season as the only undefeated team in the Lake Conference.

EDINA-ROBBINSDALE Top to Bottom: Tod Berlin, Dick Ettner, Ed Honien, George Honwn, Albert Schultz, Al Kruger. Edina knew that Robbinsdale had a strong aggregation with the idea of spoiling our Homecoming. The Hornets' key play in their initial effort was Bob Johnson's pass to Dick Willson. Johnson then hit Tom Moe for six points. Less than five minutes later, a 64-yard Blanch-to-Larson pass produced the second marker. Johnson's placement was good. The first play of the second half saw the Robins' Denny Taylor break loose for 73 yards and a touchdown. Angered at this attack, the Besonites drove the length of the field with Blanch scoring. A late drive by Robbinsdale netted six points. However, Edina then held the ball till the end, defeating Robbinsdale 19-13. EDINA-MINNETONKA Edina clinched at least a tie in the Lake Conference race by crushing Minnetonka 40-0. Again the defensive play wers outstanding, with Tom Fritz, Pete Pirsch, Bill Larson, Jack Barnes, and Larry Johnson leading the way. After a Minnetonka punt was blocked, Blanch dashed over from the 20, and Fritz followed later with a scoring drive from the 14. In the second quarter. Bob Johnson heaved a long pass to Larson, who went all the way for another score. Fritz then followed good blocking to make it 27-0 at the end of the first half. In the final half, Pirsch and Larry Johnson both recovered fumbles ahd plunged ove to score, with Bud Bonn making the conversions. Page 132 EDINA-COLUMBIA HEIGHTS Taking a rest from conference play, Edina was host to Columbia Heights. Blanch dashed 25 yards for the only score of the first period. In the second quarter, after Dave North's long punt return and several plunges by Tom Fritz, Blanch scored again. Later, Tom Moe and Bill Larson chalked up two more touchdowns on passes. Larson opened the third quarter attack with a short sprint to paydirt. Intercepting a pass, John Burr ran 46 yards to set up North's counter. The final score was made on a pass play from Bob Johnson to Bud Bonn. When the players left the field, the Hornets had added another victory to their long train by rolling over Columbia Heights 46-0. EDINA-ST. LOUIS PARK Title-bent, the Hornets continued their winning streak by downing St. Louis Park 33-7 to capture the Lake Conference crown. After sustained attempts, the Edina line men cleared the way for Blanch to score. Soon after another touchdown by Blanch, Jack Barnes scooped up a Park fumble and went for the third touchdown. MacMasters ran 49 yards for the Orioles' only score of the game. A 55-yard pass to Larson netted the first tally of the second half. Then Keith Lindgren intercepted a pass, and the Hornets marched to the Park one yard line, only to be stopped there by a stout Oriole defense. Two plays later, Pirsch grabbed a Park fumble and scampered over for the last score. It was a bitterly contested game and a great victory for Warren Beson and the Hornets, climaxing a perfect season.

Bor 1, Last season the Edina football team, attaining its goal, won the Lake Conference title and placed third in the state. Out of the few returning lettermen and the other enthusiastic players, Warren Beson, assisted by Ted Downs, perfected a smoothly-operating football machine. All the boys were commended for the fine spirit and hard work displayed throughout the season, and an extra vote of congratulations went to those selected for the All-Conference team: Tom Fritz, Ted Blanch, Bill Larson, Tom Simpson, Pete Pirsch, Keith Lindgren, and Ted Furber. Because he was outstanding both offensively and defensively, the team selected Tom Fritz as their most valuable player. Also rewarded was Bill Larson by the retirement of his jersey. At the annual football banquet honoring our conference champion, Glen Nelson and George Hansen were announced co-captains of next year's team, succeeding Pete Pirsch and Keith Lindgren.

BV’ Look 1 o Future Under the direction of Mr. Krez, the B squad not only matched their skill against the varsity, but also took on a full schedule of six games. Losing to Hopkins, Mound, and Park by slim margins, the BV' snatched victories away from Minnetonka, Robbinsdale and Columbia Heights. In a three way game with Robbinsdale and Columbia Heights, the Hornets displayed their potential by defeating both the opponents by generous scores. This game, the last of the season, was a good sign of what to expect in the future. In the years to come, the B's expect to be composed only of sophomores. This is the first step in trying to promote an all-sophomore football conference. Since the B squad prepares the boys for varsity football, every boy gains in experience and in knowledge of the fundamentals, necessary elements in achieving championship teams.

Junior Varsity Has Successful Season The junior varsity ended its season in third place, just behind Robbinsdale and St. Louis Park. Scheduled for eight games, the J. V.'s won four, lost three, and tied one. The J. V.'s, led by co-captains Walt Sirene and Jim Carroll, came close to conquering both their superiors. Leading 13-0 in the first half of the Park game, the Hornets relinquished their hold on the Orioles which resulted in a tie ball game. The two games with Robbinsdale were also thrillers. Midgets Go Last season the midget team, consisting of forty-seven boys, played a rugged but successful schedule of six games, winning five and tieing one. Both the seventh and eighth grade squads agreed that the greatest challenges were the Blake games. Also in their program were three intra-squad games. Tough competition resulted as the midgets split themselves into groups of equal strength. Elmer Halverson and Elmer Stolte developed the midgets into a well-rounded and well-coordinated team. According to the coaches, the with the best performance being turned in by end Tom King, fullback Fred Aschenbrenner, and linebacker John Cooper. At the annual football banquet, Jim Carroll received the most valuable award for his superb play and all players were commended for their hard work. Coaches Ted Greer and Dave Carlson saw great potential in many of their boys and predicted the conference championship for Edina again in the near future. Undefeated all-star game on November 3 ended a season which was successful from several different views: participation, co-operation, sportsman-ship, team spirit, and eagerness to learn the game. At the annual football banquet, backs Joey Schoffman and Micky Parrott were announced most valuable from the seventh and eighth grades respectively. With the advent of boys like these, the future holds many more championship teams. Row 3: Coach Elmer Halvorson, J. Flaten, P. Chaput, J. Ebbert, P. Crook, R. Me-Veety, C. Adams, S. Noran, B.

With the return of lettermen Dave North and Bill Larson, plus promising seniors Bob Johnson, Conrad Hoigaard, John Stonhouse, and Squeak Mortenson, Edina began its fifth season by solidly defeating St. Paul Murray 52-40. De La Salle presented itself as a stumbling block to the men from Hornetville as they were defeated 70-40. This loss was not as discouraging as the score might indicate, for the boys' floor play showed vast improvement. The Hornets met Robbinsdale officially inaugurating our new floor to the first full year of conference play. Co-captains-elect, Larson and North, displayed sharp shooting as Edina triumphed 48-42. Mound's Mohawks were stiff competition for the green and white, as they stole a victory from the Hornets in the fourth period, 38-34. The final whistle of the Edina-Minnetonka game, one of the most exciting of the season, found our Hornets sinking the Skippers 40-38. Making it two straight, the green tide of Edina engulfed Wayzata. Bob Johnson and Mert Thompson hit double figures, and Bill Larson and Dave North turned in their usual stellar floor game. Arch rival St. Louis Park, avenged their gridiron defeat at the hands of Edina by solidly blasting the Downsmen 42-30. Bill Larson was high scorer for Edina, but was unable to match Page 138 Most valuable goes into the air. Co-captain Bill Larson sinks a set shot. Bob Johnson eludes Pork opponent.

Edina took an early lead in the Howard Lake game and controlled the backboards during most of the evening. Tom Moe and Bob Johnson contributed high scoring efforts to the 67-42 victory. State champion Hopkins, seemed destined for an unbeaten season once again as the Warriors rolled over the green and white 61-29. Our quintet was stymied by the Hopkin's defense which proved to be an impenetrable barrier. The second game with Robbinsdale spelled victory for Edina who, smothering a late rally by the Robins, won 48-41. Edina was host to Mound for the second meeting of the two clubs as our Hornets once again suffered a four point defeat at the hands of the Mohawks. Minnetonka came roaring back from their early season defeat to whip the Hornets 47-33. Edina rebounded from the Minnetonka setback to take Wayzata in one of their better games of the year. The Hornets' flawless play was outstanding with Connie Hoigaard, Dave North and Tom Moe scoring in double figures. Hindered not only by the Orioles' size, but also by the absence of guard Bill Larson, our fighting five was routed 67-45 by St. Louis Pork. Dave North and Bill Larson contributed the scoring punch to the second Edina-Hopkins contest which, although a defeat, was cited by Coach Downs as one of the best games of the season. Edina was host to the Lake Conference for the sub-district tournament in which the Hornets drew Mound and avenged two previous defeats, with a 51 to 50 victory. The quarter finals of the district tournament found Edina matched with Shakopee, champions of the Minnesota Valley League. At half time the Hornets trailed 15 to 22, but at the outset of the third quarter, four quick buckets, two by Hoigaard and one each by Moe and Pertl, put the Hornets ahead. Never losing this lead, our buck-eteers downed the Indians 42 to 32, with Dave North, high point man, playing a spectacular floor game. St. Louis Park was Edina's opponent in the semifinals of the district tourney. It was the third meeting of the two clubs and Park again proved the stronger, winning 60 to 45. Dave North, Edina's most valuable player, contributed 14 points to the losing cause. At the end of the district tournament, Dave was selected to the All-District team for the second consecutive year. Considering our team's success in post-conference games, a highly prosperous season is anticipated next year.

B's” Look To Future Junior Varsity Has Successful Season Despite the loss of three sophomores to the varsity team, the B squad proved themselves able competitors as they won seven of sixteen games. However, what the figures fail to indicate is that four of the defeats were closely contested games being lost by very slim margins. Under coach Warren Beson, the B squad, through their hard work and determination, showed steady improvement over the year. Well balanced scoring and consistent efforts on the part of the entire team provided spectators with some very exciting action. Cited as the teams most constant point getter was Bob Engstrom while Bill Hibbs was the most adept on the boards. Two freshmen, Jim Carroll and John Price, played with the B's this year. Since these two boys with their valuable experience are returning, the squad and Warren Beson are looking forward to a prosperous season next year. Mentored by Dave Carlson, the junior varsity basketball team divided their 12 game season into 5 wins and 7 losses. Home court seemed to hold a jinx for the Jay Vees as they lost all their games here at Hornet High; defeat of these same rivals on their own courts was the paradox! Coach Carlson cited the Blake game as the outstanding contest of the season. Winning 40 to 27, the J. V. team came close to reaching their potential, both in the basic fundamentals and in team cooperation. This game capped the performances of eighth grader Tom King and freshman Ronnie Berglund who were noted by Coach Carlson as the best shots on the team. Many eighth graders played with the junior varsity to supplement those ninth graders who played with the B squad and with the support of these boys, the J. V. squad should prosper in the future.

Bonn, Coach Elmer Halvorson. Wrestlers’ Future Is Promising Captained by Bud Bonn and Doug Walker, the 1953-54 wrestling squad showed a great deal of improvement over previous seasons. Having only four lettermen back from last year, the squad was short on experience. Returning lettermen were Doug Walker, last year's high point man, Dave Mitchell, Bud Bonn, and Noel Johnson. As in previous years. Coach Elmer Halvorson devoted a great deal of time and effort to the wrestling squad. Through his outstanding job of coaching, several boys who were new to the sport this year made a good showing against opponents with far more experience. Since the squad was lacking wrestlers in some weight divisions, Edina often had to forfeit points in their matches. This problem was particularly evident in the lighter weight wrestlers who were further hampered by injuries. Edina made a fair showing in the Sub-Regional Wrestling Tournament. Doug Walker, Noel Johnson, and Bud Bonn took fourth place in the 112, 127, and 165 pound classes respectively, while Dave Mitchell, taking third place in the 138 pound class, became an alternate to the Regional Tournament. High point men for this season were Doug Walker, with fifty-eight points; Noel Johnson, with thirty-two points; and Dave Mitchell, with thirty-one points. Each of these received a letter for putting forth his best effort to make the wrestling season successful: Bud Bonn, Doug Walker, Dave Mitchell, Noel Johnson, Dave Bros, Dick Kruse, Tom Garrison, Joe Hartzell, Mike McCormick, and Floyd Harris. With only two lettermen. Bud Bonn and Dave Bros, graduating this year. Coach Halvorson is looking forward to the 1954-55 season with great hopes. Many of next year's wrestlers have gained valuable experience this season, and boys coming up from the junior high also bring a brighter light to the wrestling squad's future.

Pucksters Tie for Lake Championship The newly founded Lake Conference Hockey League proved to be very profitable to the Greer men who finished the most successful season in the history of our high school. A share in the Conference Championship with St. Louis Park rewarded the team for their endless hours of practice. Coached by Ted Greer and captained by Tom Simpson, the Edina pucksters seemed unhindered by the unusually mild weather. To get in good physical condition and to brush up on the basic fundamentals, the Hornets played hockey in the form of soccer on the tennis courts until the weather turned sufficiently cold. The season's opener was played with Southwest, who tipped Edina on their home ice by a score of 3-1. Keyed up by this first loss to Southwest, the Edinamites downed West to the tune of 4-3. After two tough losses to Blake and Henry, Edina started off on the long road to success, edging out Wayzata, 2-1. The next three games all spelled victory for the Hornets as they out-iced Minnetonka 10-1, St. Cloud Tech 8-2, and Robbinsdale 9-1. Inspired by these conquests, the icemen defeated St. Louis Park 3-2. Edina then traveled over to Wayzata, who came out of nowhere to subdue the Hornets 2-1 in a close overtime contest. Counteracting this defeat, Edina won over Minnetonka 10-0. With improvements on the skating ice, our Hornets had little trouble in winning the next three games by fairly large scores. After going into a double overtime with Park, Edina tied the Orioles in one of the most exciting games of the season. For our last victory, Edina defeated St. Paul Academy under the lights in the preliminary to the Minnesota-North Dakota hockey game. In the final game of the season, Wayzata pushed Edina out of the sub-districts by a score of 5-1. When the season ended, the records showed 11 wins, 6 losses and 1 tie for Edina. Awards were handed out during the annual hockey banquet held at the home of Dave Sommers, at which time Tom Simpson was elected Most Valuable Player. After the hockey figures were gone over, Tom led in high scoring, with Larry Johnson and Dave Sommers close behind. Under the guidance of next year's co-captains, Murray MacPherson and Arvid Anderson, the team is looking forward to continued success.

Skiers Establish New T earn Under the mentorship of Robert Bowman, the Edina ski team began its first official year. The first practice was held January 17, at the Edina Country Club. After time trials had been held and the fastest skiers chosen for the team, the first meet was scheduled with St. Louis Park at Theodore Wirth Park. Because of lack of snow, they were able to hold only the slalom races. Edina won this meet by a score of 8-7, Bob McCrea placing first for 5 points, and Dean Akins third for 3 points. Dean Akins, Bob McCrea, and Ted Spear entered the slalom event in the State Ski Tournament held near Duluth, February 13. Out of the 53 high school skiers who took part in this race. Bob McCrea placed tenth. Dean Akins sixteenth, and Ted Spear twentieth. The ski team, since it is mainly composed of jumors, gives us great hopes for next year. Bob McCrea executes a christy.

Baseball Team Sliares Conf ell onterence v nampionsmp 1- Edina had won the football championship . . . now the question in the minds of the Edina sports enthusiasts was whether our boys could cop the baseball crown. With coach Warren Beson at the helm, the 1953 baseball team proved what could be accomplished by long hours of hard work. The Edina nine began its season with a good start by downing the Indians of Southwest 16-0 on our newly completed diamond. The victory, in which seven runs were scored in the first inning, was a no-hitter masterfully pitched by two returning lettermen, Dick Siebert and George Walters. Turning the tables on Edina, Columbia Heights edged the Besonites 2-1. This game was called in the sixth inning, however, because of rain. On the mound for Edina were Bill Larson, Tom Lowe, and George Walters. Cold and rainy weather caused the cancellation of the next two games. Washburn then entertained the Besonites, and Washburn pitchers, Spolum and Sundin, walked off the field with well earned grins after having throttled the Hornets win-machine 2-0. Edina evened it up at the next stop by avenging their previous loss winning over Columbia Heights 10-8. In this contest, the season's first home run was hit, the honor going to first baseman Chuck Webster.

Page 148 by DICK PALEN Concluding a successful pre-season campaign, Edina invaded St. Louis Park determined to add the high flying Orioles to their win slate. This game proved successful for the Edinamites who downed the host team 3-1. Lefty George Walters threw a three hit game against Berset, who, not being able to cope with Edina's offensive attack, allowed seven. Wayzata's Dick Shaver, who proved to be too tough in the clutch, allowed one hit, the Hornets only tally, as the Trojans defeated the Hornets on their first try. The lone marker came in the initial frame as Bill Larson, who was not foiled by Shaver's offerings, singled, stole second and third, and scampered plateward-bound on a pass ball, while Wayzata's two came from Shaver on a home run and a bunt. Edina ventured to the diamond of the Mohawks for their next encounter where Walters hurled a 7-3 victory over Mound. Bob Johnson and Chuck Webster were considered the game's outstanding performers, each blasting a home run and fielding masterfully. Big George Walters, pitching brilliantly, gave up only four hits and struck out fourteen as Edina mowed down the Hopkins nine, 5-1. Dave Tschimperle started on the mound for the Warriors but was taken out after the Hornets had chalked up four runs, one a homer by Walters. The next game again spelled decisive victory for the green and white as they downed Robbins-dale 7-0. Watten, the Robin's starting hurler, gave up only four hits, but his teammates, muffing eight, booted away the victory. The last conference game saw Edina playing host to the Minnetonka Skippers with Walters and crew again winning 3-0. This victory qualified Edina to go to the Regional Tournament along with Wayzata, the other conference representative. In the first game of the tourney, Edina trounced Chaska 18-8. Walters hurled excellent ball and also smacked two triples. Playing on a neutral field at Watertown, big George led Edina to a close 2-1 triumph over the well-manned Wayzata squad, holding them to one hit while striking out twenty-one. In the final game of the season played with St. Cloud Tech, the Hornet men, who could not find their usual spark, were downed 5-1. The Hornet nine, however, brought home another trophy to Edina as they finished the '53 season sharing the conference championship with Wayzata. To the young team go hearty congratulations from the students of Edina for their excellent representation of us in the diamond sport.

Downs Makes Use of Undercl erciassmen A successful season last year brought track into the sports' spotlight at Edina. Much credit goes to coach Downs who spent hours working with inexperienced boys in his first year as head coach. The thinclads opened the 1953 season by entering in the State Invitational Indoor Meet. Jim Joslin captured second place in the 60-yard dash and the shot put. In this meet the team gained valuable experience and several of the boys established themselves as regular entrants for the remainder of the year. For their first outdoor meet, the Hornets journeyed to Mound to participate in the annual Mound Relays. Leading Edina to a third place win in a field of eleven, Joslin, in what was soon to be determined his usual fashion, grabbed off a first in the shot put and second in both the broad jump and 100-yard dash.

Team Grows in Size and Ability Edina's expanding participation in meets was evidenced last year by the team's acceptance of invitations to various state-wide meets. One of these was the Falcon Relays at Faribault. Adverse weather conditions hampered results; however, Joslin, in leading the Hornets to fifth out of eighteen, broke a long-established meet record in the shot put. Downs coaches hurdlers. For the fourth consecutive year Edina took part in the annual Carleton Relays. A driving rainstorm curtailed the day's activities; nevertheless, Joslin brought home trophies in the shot put and discus. The team returned to Hornetville and a triangular meet with Robbinsdale and Hopkins. This being a smaller meet, coach Downs was able to enter more of his charges, and much valuable experience was gained. Joslin captured five firsts with Wally May taking second in the 880, Ted Berlin second in the broad jump, and Ted Blanch second in the 100 and third in the 220. The season was terminated by an excellent team performance in the District 18 meet. Although no one qualified for the regionals, much individual confidence and prestige was derived. Ten boys earned their letters in various divisions: Jim Joslin, weights and dashes; Jim Hedges, weights; Phil Hummel, dashes; John Simpson, mile; George Johnson, quarter-mile; Penn Nelson, quarter-mile; Ted Blanch, dashes; Ed Roberts, hurdles; Wally May, half-mile; and Dick Ettner, high jump. With the return of six lettermen, Edina anticipates a bright season this year. Page 151 T. Burton, B. Buffington, T. Simpson, D. North, C. Hoi-goord, C. Williams, J. Bacon, T. Furber, J. Stonhouse, Coach Greor. Netmen Improve Under Greer's Coaching 1953 was a successful season for the tennis team. With Washburn, Park, and Blake their superiors, the netmen won six games and dropped four. Washburn, a new opponent for the Hornets, outplayed Edina in four of five matches. Conrad Hoigaard and Dave North prevented a shut out by defeating Washburn's number 2 doubles, 6-3 and 6-2. The next five games spelled victory for Edina as we downed Robbinsdale, Bloomington, Southwest, and Minnetonka by decisive scores. In the following game, Edina was downed 3-2 by Blake, one of the team's oldest rivals. Two doubles matches were won quite easily, while three singles matches were lost by slim margins. At the district tournament, Edina captured second place. Ted Burton and John Bacon lost in the doubles finals, and Ted Furber lost to Paul Herman of Park. Ted Furber then went on to the regional tournament as second man, but he lost to the Mankato entry in the semi-finals. When all the season's figures were tabulated, Edina placed second in the Lake-Valley Conference, surpassed only by St. Louis Park.

Linkmen Go Undefeated m Conf erence The Edina linksmen have accomplished quite a feat in the history of golf at Edina. With the record of last year's season they had stretched their winning streak to 13 straight. This was accomplished under the guidance of coach Dave Carlson. On May 3, the Hornets began their season with a decisive 14-4 victory over Wayzata on their home course at Westwood Hills. The turf-diggers then ventured to the grounds of Mound where they were again victorious, 14-4. On May 9 the Hornets played Robbinsdale and took the match 10-8. The next opponent to feel their sting was St. Louis Park, as they were downed 16-2. Playing host to Bloomington on May 15, the linksmen routed them 14-3. Two days later the Hornets had a return engagement with the Robins and defeated them more readily this time 13-5. Edina then went to Blake and took them 16-2. Playing host to Hopkins on May 24 for their final match of the season, the Hornets downed them 15-3. Thus, our team took all eight scheduled matches and finished the '53 season undefeated. On June 2 the district tournament was held at Meadowbrook Golf Course. Edina again fared well and took first place. Jack Sadler, Dick Mans, John Taylor, Merrill Swanson, Gordie Jensen, and Ben Parks representing Edina. Gordie Jensen was the medalist and the Hornets went on to enter the regional tournament, placing second. John Taylor, winning the most points this season with 21, was followed by Jack Sadler's 1516. With the return of lettermen John Taylor, Ben Parks, Gage Davis and Gordie Jensen, the golf team looked forward to the '54 season. Page 153 Coach Davo Carlson, B. Engstrom, J. Taylor, G. Davi , G.

From cheering our teams to attending the annual Junior-Senior Prom, Edina scholars found that student life was fun. Our football team had brought home another championship trophy, and we students liked to feel that our loyal support had helped the team in some small way. School spirit was aroused and displayed at the numerous pre-game picnics and pot luck suppers at which miniature pep-fests and yogis were held. Celebrations after each victory were climaxed by the open house after the last game which furnished a sparkling finale to the successful 1953 football season. You go your way. I'll go mine. Mixed emotions. Page 156 Ed ina Student Life Eighteen straight victories — Still going. Although not many complaints were heard about the mild behavior of old man winter, crestfallen expressions were seen on the faces of ski enthusiasts because of the lack of snow. To overcome this handicap, many students traveled to various resorts where snow and skiing were plentiful. Nor did the mild weather dampen the spirit of the students, as they continued to exhibit school spirit at Edina's athletic and social events. Planned by Hi-Y, Y-Teens, and publication organizations, informal dances were staged in our new activities room. Besides proving lucrative to the treasuries of the sponsoring organizations, the dances provided a good time for all. Future seniors. Student teacher co-operation. Weaker sex???

An epidemic of spring fever had swept the school, and the majority of students were found gazing intently out of glass panes and industriously constructing castles in the air. Students fancies lightly turned to thoughts of the out-of-doors. As a result, many warm sunny days found Edinians enjoying picnics at their favorite camping grounds. Providing an outlet for the abundance of energy that accompanied the arrival of spring were such sports as golf, track, tennis, and baseball. For the non-participants, these sports supplied excitement from mere observance. Page 162 On the social side of the calendar were the several student-sponsored dances which added so much to the school year. Souvenirs had been collected from the various events, but those with the most cherished memories were the ones from the Junior-Senior Prom and the 1954 Commencement.
