SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS, L to R.s Earl Hoken»on, president; Bruce Nichols, vice-president; Charlie Burton, treasurer; Merilee Huser, secretary. Class of Nineteen Fifty-Eight The title of a class officer means more than prestige and honor. These titles have behind them a responsibility that must be fulfilled. The seniors of Edina certainly realized this when they elected their class officers. Earl Hokenson presided over our meetings as president and took the position of chairman and organizer for the class projects. Bruce Nichols, vice- president, was given many important duties. Merilee Huser kept the minutes as secretary and lent her support to the class. The dips and rises in the treasury were carefully watched and calculated by Charlie Burton. The class, under enthusiastic leadership and participation, left its mark on the school through leadership, scholarship, and sportsmanship. 10

HISTORY OF A FANTABULOUS CLASS Seventh grade brought to us new faces, new places—a whole new world of knowledge and fun ... the confusion of changing classes in only four minutes ... thrilling participation in our first Homecoming festivities ... Lake Conference Football Champs for the First, but not the last, time ... Mr. Engen's famous math classes ... community room dancing each day during homeroom ... notorious ringleaders rounded up ... unforgettable sunlights ... a once uncertain class looking toward the future with newfound confidence. Our second year of high school brought further adjustment to school life ... De-Tail Robbinsdale ... our boys on the undefeated midget football team ... many sleepless nights at slumber parties ... first memorable moonlights ... boy and girl parties ... unforgettable Country Club dances ... junior high student council's Beat the Clock program ... Junior Buzzettes ... math plus Mr. Chapman's stories ... our talent show in the Sophomore Talent Show entries ... an enthusiastic class looking forward with enthusiasm to the leadership we would gain in the coming year. Ninth grade presented many problems to be met by us—the seniors of the junior high school ... tense moments while taking driver's training ... our tremendous school spirit lent itself to all athletic events—B-squad cheerleading ... only workers at the senior high school's dances ... walking everywhere we went ... Shakespeare and memorization ... speed reading exercises and tired eyes ... the Dixieland Dive with the new look at school dances—the bermuda look ... planning Orientation Day ... our next step—the senior high school. As sophomores, we were finally included in all activities ... our first exciting Homecoming dance ... the first of our three first-place Homecoming skits— Homecoming Through the Ages ... Sophomore Talent Show Boat, complete with mammies and cotton bales, led to a successful Senior Reception ... boosted team membership in all sports showed championship potential ... Miss Hinch and I Can't Breathe ... two new Fords in the English department ... Mr. Scanlon in his flowing toga ... sunlamp fad resulting in many red faces ... thus, another year gone by. We began this year on The Great Big Doorstep to senior responsibilities ... our prize-winning presentation of Homecoming in Foreign Lands ... our monopoly on Sophomore Talent Show winners ... frantic high pressure concession selling brought May, Moonlight, and Memories ... anxious selection of our class rings ... learning the bop ... the first choir operetta — The Mikado ... our open-houses monopolized by seniors ... Mr. Fredrickson's co-operative (?) investigations ... these were our final preparations for the last climb up The Great Big Doorstep to our senior year. Our senior year — the year so long awaited by all of us ... a slight feeling of swelled-headedness the last firsts and first lasts ... senior privileges ... the hilarious men on the street and Hi-Ho, Steverino! our very own Homecoming royalty ... Manhattan at Midnight and its effective New York skyline ... college boards and college talk ... our first state football champs — Pride and Prejudice ... the ordeal of measuring for caps and gowns ... finally commencement — the walk down the aisle, fears, diplomas, and last good-byes.
