The Junior high attendance fell to the lowest of any of the combined senior and junior high schools of Minneapolis. Roosevelt will be an all-senior high in a year and a half. The total number of junior high students is five hundred forty-two. This includes 8A. 9B. and 9A pupils. Last year Roosevelt hod all Junior high and all senior high with a total junior high attendance of 1,137. Thus a decrease of five hundred seventy-five Is shown. Roosevelt was the only school affected by the opening of Folwell Junior high. The largest attendance In the combined Junior and senior high schools this yenr is recorded at Edison with 2,589 displacing Roosevelt which led last year.

Model Stage Therefrom Dumps and junk piles around Thirty-sixth street and Twentieth avenue S. are almost bereft of old bed springs, tin cans auto parts and what not. Folwell junior high school has a new lake scene backdrop for its stage and four new woodland wings. Those two facts are very closely' related. Folwell, being a very new school, had little or no equipment to aid musical or dramatic presentations on Its stage. The board of education. being short of funds, could do little about It. There's where the Junk piles came in. They Get on the Job Students in the industrial department of the school were determined the stage would no longer be lifeless for school presentations. Scenery was necessary, and to make the scenery, certain equipment had to be made. They began making Informal calls on the nearby dumps. In one. they found an old cream separator. They took lta motor. In another, they located an old air pump on an ancient automobile. They took that, too. Another antique vehicle gave up a gas light tnnk. An old bed spring was brought Into use. Some More Resourcefulness By sawing out the middle of the gas' tank and soldering the two ends together, attaching the air pump and the cream separator motor. 8 fairly good paint spray gun was made. Long strips of muslin were purchased. borrowed and found. Boards. some new and some old. were brought into use. Merchants who sold linoleum were called upon and the long cardboard tubing from rolls of the floor covering were donated. The tubes were split and folded one upon the other until a long roll of eight thicknesses was made. And Girls Do Their Kit The muslin was sewed together by the girls In their sewing classes. It was tacked to the roll and to a top ridge-pole. The boards were nailed into wing frames and the muslin was posted to them. The spray gun and paint brushes came into play—and there stood a brand new lake and woodland scene to add atmosphere to all Folwell stage doings.” All of the work was done by the sewing and industrial classes under the supervision of O. E. Olson and W. E. Hamstreet, industrial instructors. 21 School Bulletin 1-27-30 FOLWELL WING READY MONDAY New Addition Has New Type Music Rooms, Workrooms for Social Studies, Bike Parking Rooms Folwell junior high school’s $175,000 addition is expected to be ready for occupancy with the start of the new semester next Monday, E. H. Enger, Board of Education architectural engineer, reported this week. Meanwhile, the Folwell Parent-Teacher association- and the school are proceeding jointly with plans for a celebration February 18 of the completion of the now wing, which will make Folwell a Minneapolis standard junior high school plant. There will be a dinner, auditorium program and open house. Has Unusual Features “In plan and use of materials, the building has several features which are ••ather unusual,” Mr. Enger said. For instance, the two band and orchestra rooms in the basement have been provided with circular amphitheater seat platforms. The rooms will accommodate from 80 to 90 pupils each. Accoustical requirements determined the selection of materials for floors and ceilings. Each of the practice rooms has four individual practice rooms. Another unusual feature from an educational standpoint is the provision of a rather large joint workroom between two classrooms on each of the three floors. These rooms will be used for history, community life problem and geography classes. The workrooms are provided with filing cabinets and tables. There also will be other class rooms in the new wing.” No Federal Aid The addition is being built with Board of Education municipal bond funds, under contract, and without WPA or PWA aid. Work was started in July and all construction is practically concluded now. Installation of furniture started Monday. All the latest ideas have been incorporated into the new em library at Folwell Junior high school. Pupils will be able to work with a minimum of distraction from noise, for the ceiling, floors and walls are sound-proof. This is a firanch of the Public library. The new wing opens for occupancy tyonday. OPEN HOUSE To help celebrate the dedication of the new wing, the parents are invited to attend the open house at Folwell on February 18. At six o’clock a dinner will be served by the domestic science teachers, members of the cafeteria, and mothers of the district. It will be followed by a program in the auditorium. Later every one is permitted to go through the various parts of the building and visit with the teachers. L. R. Oberg is the general chairman for the dedication. hp may wheel his bicycle Into a Peclal room conutrorted in the basement at Kolwrll Junior high school for hou inc hicyelea.

Not long after Folwell was built, paper sales were organized as fund raisers. There was competition to see who would get the most paper between boys and girls, between homerooms, and between grades. The group that collected the most paper got to get out of class to see a movie or go on a field trip. Ex-Mayor Charles Stenvig said, “We got half a day off school for a trip or something, Couldn’t have been very good, I don’t remember anything.” The kids went around to houses and stores and collected paper to sell to a recycling plant. It was always easier for girls to get paper. Paper sales ended because of lack of participation and the fact that kids stole papers from one another.

They were divided into 2 groups, the 7A’s and 7B’s. The 7th graders that came in September were 7A’s and were promoted into 8th next September, the 7th graders that came in February were 7B‘s and were promoted the next February. They had generally the same classes as we do now. but they also took part in many clubs, some of the most popular ones were the Red Cross Club. Bachelors Club and Drama Club. The Red Cross Club did such things as sewing baby diapers, knitting afghans and cleaning tooth paste tubes. Their hobbies were generally the same as now: building models, reading, singing, playing an instrument, collecting things, ping-pong and girls. So being a 7th grader has always been pretty much the same. Adams, Aldean Al-Najim, Scott Allen. Kenneth Anderson, Lisa Anderson.

James 34 The Way We Think . . When this school opened it was like a new experience for the neighborhood. Jimmy Preafer It was proably very strict and tough in 1931. Joe LaCoursiere It was probably more strict about what you were and what you did.

I was wrong; everyone has helped us, and I find being a new-comer and called “Seven Beezer” is a part of the fun of being here. We aim to bring our 7B group to Folwell’s high ideals and standards, which we know are the best in the world. Draper. Michelle Drift. Michael Dubose. Brian Dudero, Sandra Duncan, Bryon Dyke.

Travis Forbes, Richard Forster, Angela Foster, Amy Bill, the Seventh Grader, says: I never did like school but since I came to Folwell a few weeks ago, things are so interesting I am beginning to enjoy school.” volunteered one boy. 1 think math is one of the easiest subjects to catch on to,” replied one girl. Math just comes easy to me. “I wish I could have all my classes on first floor first and then work up to third floor instead of having them all jumbled up, commented one. Lunch should be added as a special class because most boys like that best. The penny movies could be included. Folwell students couldn't get along without the splendid auditoriums, said one boy. My favorite subject is geography, remarked one girl, “because we do more work there. Some think the school is pretty dull. They had better wait until they get in eigth or ninth grade before they make that remark. 37 F'oster, Denise Franxman, Norbert Freund, James Frost, Rachel Gamec, Kenneth Harrison, Scott Hart, Jason Hawley.

His grandmother, Elsie Johnson was here from 1932-1935. When they were interviewed, here are some of the comments they gave. I wouldn’t have wanted to go here when my mom and grandmother did because it would have been too strict and they didn’t have some of the things we have now.

Her name is Renee Oldenborg. Her grandmother, Mrs. Lila Thompson was a student here from 1933 to 1936. Renee’s mother, Mrs. Sharon Oldenborg, was a student here from 1952 to 1955. Mrs. Thompson’s last name while attending school was Kasseth ana Mrs. Oldenborg’s last name was Thompson. In the 1930’s the students were allowed to go outside for lunch. Mrs. Thompson would often walk to Sibley Park with some friends to eat. During lunch special activities were offered to the students, such as cooking classes, sewing clubs, and a guilting club in which Mrs. Thompson was a member for a year. In the 50’s things were much stricter. Such as they weren't allowed to go out of the school for lunch, and they didn’t have many activities. Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. Oldenborg both had to wear skirts or dresses during all school hours except at Football games or when the temperature was below zero. trottier, Stacey Vanlaanen, Kimberly Vixayvong, Sithiphonesack Walker, David Walker, Joel Wallman, Theodore Weimer, Shawn Wenell, Paula My favorite thing about Folwell is the yearbook. - Jeff Williams Weasel, Barbara Wetherholt, Tanya Weydert, Melanie Wiens, Keith Williams, Jeffrey Wmge, Lisa Wright, Jonathan Wynsteker, Robert Yeazle, Shirley Folwell, Morris Renee’s Grandmother - Lila Kasseth Graduated from Folwell in 1936.

Several weeks ago Bernice read that a name was wanted for one of the characters in the cartoon. A prize was to bo given for the best name. So she sat down and wroto a letter to Mr. Disney, suggesting a name. Sunday it was announced ’that the name had won first prize, an 18-inch Mickey Mouse doll. Disney also created the character Mickey Mouse,” who also appears in The Tribune and has also gone into the movies. The contest was the first that Bernice has entered, but as a result of her selection the cartoon character has been christened ”Bucky Bug.” A number of other northwest contestants will also receive prizes for names they submitted. Among the winners aro Margaret Graff, Red Wing; Morgan Grams, Zimmerman; Robert Solcm. Windom: Phillip Moor- man. Baudette; Norma Jean Cox, Hankinson. N. D.. Shirley Mahr and “The Duncan Kids” of Minneapolis. Bernice Peterson is a former Folwell student who went here from 1931-1933. “The kids thought it was pretty great that I won Mickey.” “Folwell was a brand new school when I went here.” When Bernice was here girls wore bobby socks and saddle shoes and boys never wore jeans. Many kids wore the same clothes everyday. Most kids tried their best in school because they didn’t want bad news going home to their parents. “It was pretty neat coming to a new clean school. I was a nut for basketball, and rollerskating was also popular. I was in a play and also participated in other activities such as tumbling. At the Nile Theatre it cost only 10c to see a matinee but the theatre than was called the Standish.” Olga Stone was a student at Folwell from 1932-1935. Many things at Folwell have changed since then. Miss Stone took classes in Latin and Penmanship that are no longer taught. Tests were written on the blackboard and then to be copied by the students. When walking to your classes there were certain stairs you had to take if you were going up or down. In the lunchroom there was a boys and a girls side and milk came in bottles instead of cartons for a penny. For one half hour during the day they had clubs. The Bachelors Club was a popular cooking club for boys. After Olga Stone graduated from Folwell and Roosevelt she worked at Roosevelt and Nokomis and came back to Folwell as the head clerk when Nokomis was closed. Miss Stone believed then and still believes now that Folwell is the best school in Minneapolis. First 9th Grade Graduating Class-June 1934 Second 9th Grade Graduating Class-January 1935 b2 Olga Stone, Folwell’s present administrative aide, went to Folwell all three years from 1932 to 1935. OOLr UNNCAPOU 5, 1936 Robert Anderson went to Folwell from 1934-1936. When he was here the lunch period was lVs hours long and some kids even went home for lunch. The boys and girls were in separate gym classes and they had to take showers. Mr. Anderson is married and has one son. He worked here for 16 years as a janitor. He was transferred due to lack of school funds. Before he left a party was held for him by the staff. He was heard to say that This school is the best junior high in the city.” 1943 The former Minneapolis Mayor. Mr. Charles Stenvig attended Folwell from September, 1940 to •June. 1943. Mr. Stenvig’s wife, the former Audrey Thompson also attended Folwell from September, 1942 to June, 1945. During his school years at Folwell, Mr. Stenvig played drums in the band and was also in the choir. Music and band helped me a lot.” Stenvig’s gym teacher, Mr. Kempter was not too popular with him for a while because of strictness. “He helped me with football, track and golf, he helped me grow up. He’s a great guy. He stayed late after school for an intramural program long before teachers were paid. Mr. Stenvig also said, There’s been some good athletes that have come out of Folwell. Sometimes when I think avout it, I wish I had studied harder. Everything you can learn, learn! It’ll help you. I like Folwell. It’s a nice school. 1955 Mr. Richard Ramberg went to Folwell from 1952-1955. He attended a “Sight Saving Class” for the blind which was held at Folwell. He was partially blind at the time. The students attended this class for homeroom or else during study hall; therefore the students participated in all regular classes except gym, which they sat out. Richard played clarinet in the school band and for the P.T.A. talent show. He said the shows really motivated him and gave him a goal. His mother helped him memorize the music or he would listen to it and catch on later. The hang-out after school was the Dairy Queen but Richard attended a United Nations Club in 7th grade. He said, “When I wasn’t at the club, I would shoot baskets at home. I was really good!!’’ He now works for the State Vocational Rehabilitation Council as the director. He also plays his clarinet 2 to 3 times a week in a “Banjo Brass Band.” Last year the yearbook staff went to see him play at Diamond Jims. Mr. Ramberg said. “1 didn’t want to play music for a career, but for fun.” 64 We ate the Albrecht, Pamela Anderson, John Andrusko, James Anhalt, Lawrence Baker, Lawrence Bates, Kiirstin Baumer, Joseph Bear, Roberta Benson, Robert Berglund, Todd Bergren, Eric Bergstrom, Daniel Bobick, Richard Bonesteel, Cheryl Bonesteel, Richard Brandt, Erick Briard, Erin Brooks, Paul Brown.

It is the lunch that is bought most often, although there are plenty of snacks and bag lunches eaten. Lunchtime means many different things to many different people. Some people talk and visit with their friends, while other people yell and play tag. Believe it or not, most people eat.

At the beginning there were only 10 students in the program because the general public wasn't used to having students work. This year found WECEP with 25 students doing various jobs like selling and cooking at restaurants, carry out and general help at grocery stores, office help, and other kinds of jobs.

An annual book produced by students to save school spirit - “help!” The Folwell Yearbook started in 1964 with 8 pages and contained only the homeroom pictures of 9th grade students. The Yearbook could only get better and more interesting as the years went by. In 1971 the Hall of Fame was started and all students were pictured individually. More events and activities were included each year and finally color was used in the book and 1980 saw color photographs on the cover. It started in 1964 with 8 pages and now in 1981 it is 128 pages with color and art galore. A great way to celebrate Folwell’s 50th birthday! The work on the 1981 Yearbook actually started the second semester of the 1979-80 school year. A yearbook class of mixed 8th and 9th grade students researched the history of our school and interviewed many former students and retired teachers. 104 This year there were two Yearbook classes -1st and 6th periods.

This was the day that Folwell’s 11th Winterim took place. The only bad luck was that Winterim was only a half day and crosscountry skiing was canceled. All students, except the seven who signed up for cross-country skiing, got their first choice of activities with students choosing roller skating, downhill skiing, bowling, ice skating, the movie and basketball — in that order. 2§ d tfc usm Jfoyfcocfb 69 I9yi THqe Qooi ol’ aerial was £ 0 «sur£. uniaue i ui rv) jJ trt flash is at H3s peak.

Fifty years ago the newspaper was called the Folwell Ariel. The Ariel was different from our Flash today. It was put out mostly by the faculty, with the help of the students’ poems, riddles, publicity and circulation. There was also the Room News, which told something special that was going on in each homeroom. 112 The Folwell Flash is published monthly by students of Folwell Junior High as a part of the Challenge Program.

It is very different from the Ariel in many ways. It is put out totally by the students who write all the articles and design their own layout with the supervision of Mrs. Westby. Some of the favorite features in each issue are, “As Folwell Turns,” “Teacher Feature,” and “Athlete of the Month.” 113 This year Willie decided he wanted to join the Ski Club. Ski Club is one of the many clubs here at Folwell. Mr. Stenerson and Mr. Moren are in charge of it. They have planned to take four trips throughout the season. Willie soon discovered that he preferred riding the chair-lifts rather then tumbling down the slopes. 114 Q Ski.
