A monument to the belief that America’s future depends upon the education of her children Forest Lake High School TABLE OF CONTENTS SCHOOL STAFF Page 7 GRADUATES Page 23 ACTIVITIES Page 41 SPORTS Page 57 UNDERCLASSMEN Page 67 s c H O O L A word from the Superintendent In the opinion of many older people, high school days are the happiest period of life. They sigh gustily with Omar Khayyam, “Yet Ah, that Spring should vanish with the Rose! ‘That Youth's sweet-scented manuscript should closer They nod wise agreement with Herrick’s, “That age is best which is the first, “When youth and blood are warmer; “But being spent the worse and worst “Times still succeed the former99 Young people almost unanimously disagree. They can hardly wait to get “out of school life into life’s school.” Life will really begin, they feel, the day after Commencement. It will be a sad day if the time ever comes when young people cease to believe that the happiest days still lie ahead. The visions of youth are not always realized—probably are never fully realized; but these visions have been responsible for much of man’s progress. It would be sad, too, if older people should somehow lose their nostalgic longing for the days “when you and I were young, Maggie.” Out of it come sympathy and understanding, an urge to help young people to realize some of those golden dreams. Out of it come the very real sacrifices of time and energy and money which are willingly made by many older people in the best interests of the younger generation. To the young men and women of the classes of 1952 and 1953, congratulations and every good wish for the realization of your particular version of the Great American Dream! I hope that this latest edition of the Forester has come close to your hopes and ambitions to make it the best ever, for that would be a hope- ful augury of the success of other even more important projects. In any event, I know' that it will mean more to you in years to come than it does now. May it bring back happy memories of days you will then concede to have been, let us not say the happiest, but next to the happiest days of your lives. —J. A.

Besides teaching ju- nior and senior English. Miss De Groodt also heads and directs all speech activities. Fred Schreiber, our librarian, has a big job. Along with super- vising the student librarians he also teaches Latin and English. Violet Hanson stimulates the in- terest of her English students when she reads poetry to them Under her guidance students re- alize abilities they never realized they had. 10 Floyd Cohoes, principal, in ad- dition to his administrative du- ties teaches senior social science. Acting as counselor to high school students, but officially des- ignated as assistant principal is Erwin Davis, who also teaches so- cial science and English. A newcomer to our school this year, Mrs. Joan Dick is well liked by her history classes and the members of the high school choir which she directs. 11 A newcomer this year, Forrest Ray teaches driver training and in- dustrial arts. He is also an ad- viser to the senior class. Under the supervision of Russel Hammond, many fine articles are turned out by the students in his shop classes. New at Forest Lake this year is Colleen Medinnus. An instructor in seventh grade English and ninth grade math, she has helped with the makeup in the senior class play and in the operetta. 12 Another math instructor is Rob- ert Gray. He is shown here, con- structing a triangle for plane ge- ometry. As dean of girls. Miss Lois Hanly is well known by many students. Along with teaching math and su pervising activities she is student council adviser. Keith Markuson is readily be- coming well known around Forest Lake. A teacher in general sci- ence and biology, he also has taught many of the boys to operate the audio-visual aid machines. 13 A familiar face is that of Mrs. Solveig Hammond. She has taught many of the juniors and se- niors in her business relations class. Instructing future stenograph- ers and typists is the job of Mr. Fred Bujold, commercial teacher. He knows what he’s doing so it shouldn’t blow up. Harold Manley is shown demonstrating an experi- ment to his chemistry class. He also teaches higher algebra. 14 An active personality around our school is Rollin Nelson. Along with teaching history, Mr. Nelson also directs FLHS’s snappy band. Peter Roman is a busy man as adviser to the BREEZE and FOR- ESTER. Besides these tasks he teaches economic geography and English. Things are always humming in the ag room when Lee Sandager is teaching. Sold on the idea of in- telligent farming, Mr. Sandager passes on his knowledge to future farmers. 15 Fortunate indeed are the girls of FLHS to have Miss Ellen Keefe teach them sewing and the import- ant phases of homemaking. An athlete teaching what she knows to others is Mrs. Iva Keach- er. Along with teaching girls’ phy ed she supervises GAA. tumbling, and cheerleading. James Pinky'' Boyd spends a full day in the halls of FLHS where he teaches boys’ phy ed classes and coaches football, base- ball and basketball. 16 Taking an important part in school ac- tivities is the Parent-Teacher Association. Intended to bring the school and the com- munity closer together, the PTA sponsors various activities at FLHS, the biggest be- ing the annual Hallowe'en party. One of the big projects of the group this year was to help promote school district re- organization. Their efforts were worth while and FLHS now has a bigger school district. At left above, J. A. Hughes explains some of the advantages or reorganization to the membership. Above right, Roy Prentis, of the Bureau of Field Studies and Surveys, University of Minnesota, also speaks on re- organization.

With Miss Lois Hanly and Mr. Keith Markuson their advisers leading them on, the 1952 graduat- ing class of Forest Lake entered its hallowed hall as an enthusiastic freshman group in the fall of 1948. As sophomores in 1950 this same group began to enter into many school activities. Being upperclassmen in their junior year was a real accomplishment, but the biggest accomplish- ment of all came in 1952 when as seniors they marched into the auditorium for commencement exercises. On the pages following are pictured the grad- uates of 1952 and 1953. 23 • BARBARA MARY ABRESS Blue-green eyes, peaches and cream complexion, and a sparkling smile framed by jet black hair describe this hust- ling 5 1 senior. Steno is her favorite subject and office work will be her immediate career. Once you really get her laugh- ing, she'll end up in tears. • IRENE ANCKE A former enthusiastic Latin student declares that Go For Broke was her favorite movie, and that hot fudge sundaes are tops. This blue-eyed blonde comes from Scandia and plans in the future to become a nurse • CAROL ANN ANDERSON You are sure to find Carol eating chow mein or collecting stamps if she is not on the trail astride her favorite horse, Pepper Her friendly personal- ity will be an asset to her as she seeks her fortune as a re- ceptionist. • DORIS MAY ANDERSON Doris' attractive appearance and pretty red hair will cause many an admiring glance as this shy young lady continues in the secretarial field. Shy or no. the twinkle in the eye of this member of the twelve years at Forest Lake club lets you know that she's really full of fun. Her favorite out of school activities are ice skat- ing and movie going. O •EVADNE ANDERSON This dill pickle fiend loves stenography which she will use in the business field after attending Minnesota Bible Col- lege this fall If she can t go on a camping trip or roller skating you will find her at home reading or sewing. In her senior year she was an ac- tive member of BREEZE. • LOIS ANDERSON After twelve years of Forest Lake school, Lois still thinks it's tops. Her favorite movie was Mrs. Mike . Lois, a small blonde with twinkling ha- zel eyes has been in 4-H for seven years and thinks this ex- perience with people will aid her in her future bookkeeping career. • ION CHARLES BARROTT An active student council member, Jon says physics and M Manley are his favorite subject and teacher, and that eighth grade was his best school year. Ion's wisecracks should live as long as his hunting and fishing tales. Aft- er completing his term as vice president of the senior class, he will enter college and prob- ably study to become an en- gineer. • CAROL BELLAND As she plans to attend a medical college, it is easy to see why biology was Carol's favorite subject Carol who likes to collect letters from friends, is active in 4-H club work. This retiring young miss says that her sophomore year was her best school year. 24 • JAMES COLLEN Don't ever dare this fellow, he loves to take a dare An en- thusiastic discussion leader, he does his best in that subject. If 6' 5 isn't dribbling a basket ball around the gym floor, you will find him reading a book. We will remember Jim s FFA lamb as a mascot on our sopo- more float. • MARION DORN Wherever there is dance mu- sic you are likely to find a light-footed and graceful home- coming Queen candidate who will answer to the name of Marion. Dancing is her fa- vorite pastime, and after grad- uation she would like to be a dancing instructor, but Marion still finds time for a much quieter hobby — a scrapbook. Along with the rhythm from dancing comes a knack for writing rhymes • JEANETTE DUNCAN Jeanette's chuckle and viva- cious personality enabled her to twice play the part of a southern gal in our two pro- ductions, Oh Doctor and You Can’t Take It With You . Her hobby is sewing, and she spends much time reading or writing letters. After gradua- ton she may go to school to become an occupational the- rapist. ANNA MAE DUPRE A future dentist's assistant, Anna Mae will probably use her shorthand ability and agreeable personality to greai advantage. Her favorite pas time she says, are dates, a good show, or a lively dance Writing letters is her most in- teresting hobby. • MARGARET BEZEK Another newcomer to FLHS in her senior year is Maggie who transferred here from Ed- ison in Minneapolis This brown-eyed, brunette, 5 4 miss has done well here be- cause of her friendly smile and disposition. Interested in all sports, she especially enjoys swimming and skating if it is followed by a meal of chicken chow mein • CLEITUS CHARLES BRACHT Cleitus, who believes Uncle Sam will take care of his fu- ture plans immediately after graduation, now divides his time between helping his fath- er on their Stacy farm and hunting. His senior year and Showboat are tops with this fellow who becomes one year older every September 10. • JOHN JERRY BRISSON This popular senior was elected Homecoming king by his fellow football olayers and is well known by all in scio.I. having participated in all to.’ school sports besides playing hockey for Soderville. Any sports magazine or sports book will hold his interest, as h:s job choice of coaching will in the future In addition to sports. Jay has held class of- fices in two former years and shop rates high with him now • JACK BUSKE Auto magazines seem to Jack the best way to spend an idle moment if he has one when he is not hunting for anything from small game to a sleek deer. His hobby is tak- ing care of guns and fixing up engines, while tuning in to cowboy or folk tunes on the radio. All his knowledge on cars and guns will undoubt- edly be of aid to him when he becomes a mechanic. 25 • LLOYD DURAINE Lloyd, one of the lew seni- ors on the 1951-52 lootball team, declares his hobby is milking cows, which gives you a good idea of his sense of humor. The Twin City Speed- way races would lose a regu- lar Ian if some Sunday he should eat too much pineapple up-side-down cake His plans for the future include animal husbandry. • RICHARD EKBLAD Dick, a fellow with a quiet sense of humor, once you get to know him, will always keep you laughing. Dick's grin and his bright blue eyes are popu- lar in most science and mathe- matics classes. This boy state representative from the senior class plays trombone in the school band and spends the rest of his time daydreaming and eating. • GLADYS ELLIOTT This dark haired girl with twinkling blue eyes is an avid roller skating, dancing, ice skating, and swimming fan Al- ways full of fun, and with plenty of good ideas, this for- mer student council member, has been active on most deco- ration and food committees. • • THOMAS ENGQUIST Tommy, another busy senior, excels in the field of music by being student director of both band and choir, playing in the German band, dance band, clarinet ensemble, and singing in three choirs. Acting in the class operetta, class play, and one act play enabled him to become a two star member of the Thespians The future will find him teaching music some place. • DAVID PETER ENSRUD Dave” who will be remem- bered as Ed, the glockenspiel player and mad printer in the class play, plays first clarinet in the school band and the German Band. One of the four who took the FFA trip to Kan- sas City last fall, he says that he likes movies, but that swim- ming and loafing are his fa- vorite pastimes. Shop is his best liked class Senior year has been his best, and the fu- ture will find him as a member of the Navy. • DONALD PAUL ENSRUD Don loves music and can olten be found bolstering the choir's bass section, or at home practicing on his accordion. If by then you still haven't found him, he is playing somewhere with the German Band. An ac- tive FFA member Don was one of the boys to win a trip to Kansas City last fall. If he isn't in the Armed Forces after graduation, you surely will find him some place in the music world. • ROBERT FRENNING Math highlights Bob's high school schedule and he enjoys shop classes, too, either of which may help him in his fu- ture career as a surveyor or construction worker. This squir- rel hunter and fisherman fur- thers his interest in music by singing in the choir. • CAROL FULKS It is easy to see where this little gal acquires the nickname of Squirt or ’Imp” since she is a mere 4' 11 4 tall. A session of roller skating, eat- ing chow mein, and listening to the tune Slowpoke is an ideal setup for Carol. Her in- terest and ability in shorthand should aid her considerably in her future work in the secreta- rial field. 26 • RAYMOND GATZOW That was a whopper is what Ray's friends say when Ray finishes telling them a sto- ry which may be about any- thing dealing with hunting or fishing or what his imaginary relatives did in Timbuktu Rav continued his clowning as Don- ald. the negro house boy in the class play and brings with him his sense of humor and keen interest to social class. • RONALD ARTHUR GENZ A lot of people wouldn't be heard if it wasn't for this boy s abilities in running the loud- speaker. He also takes charge of the juke box, runs the movie projector, and acts as assist- ant manager on the track team Ronnie has taken sciences and math all the way through high school to help him in his future career the field of engineering • CHARLES HOLTZBAUER Ice cream, any shape or form, at any time, will always interest Chuck, who can be- come engrossed in a good movie or TV program any time. Managing the basket ball team and industrial arts keep Chuck busy around school and after graduation he plans to enter some branch of the military service. • • JOYCE HUMBLE Joyce's favorite subject, ste- nography, will definitely aid this attractive Stacy-ite in finding a job as an office work- er after graduation. Evenings might find this gal either danc- ing or enjoying a leisurely supper of chow mein. Experi- ence for the future was gained assisting in the high school of- fice, and being a room captain in the subscription drive • SHIRLEY HUSNIK Shirl can't keep her fee. still, because whenever there is music playing; she has to be dancing Being the youngest member of her class has been no handicap to her, and she plans to work as a clerk or typist after graduation. Maybe her favorite subject stenog- raphy will come in handy. • HARRIET JENSEN Harriet displays her pep by being a member of Pep club and GAA “King Solomon's Mines' was her favorite show and roller skating remains her favorite pastime Planning to work after graduation, she will probably grab a quick chop suey lunch which is her fa- vorite food. • LINNEA IRENE JOHNSON Linnea, who dislikes being called “Red'' will usually an- swer to the name, like it or not. An avid fan of any type of history, she likes to read and go to the movies of which she declares Showboat is tops Beside portraying the role of Alice in the senior class play. Linnea has acted as sec- retary to both band and the se- nior class. • VERNON CARL JOHNSON This jazzy trumpet player is one of the outstanding seniors in several different lines. First, he is an active president of FFA and choir. Secondly, we find him in the German band, dance band, school band, and many trumpet ensembles A two star member of Thespians. Vern, a blond, acquired gray hair for the part of Mr. Kirby in You Can't Take It With You. 27 • RAYMOND KRECK Alter seeing him as Grandpa in the class play, when Ray finishes his navy career we know he will some day become a distinguished looking grand- father. People who argue are his pet peeves probably be- cause they upset him so he can't enjoy his favorite food, pie. It's No Sin is his top song and his philosophy of life is to have a lot of fun while you are young. • DEAN KUNSHIER Small and dark, Dean smiles as he gives his height as 5 2 and a wicked gleam comes into his eye when he declares driving around in a car is his favorite pastime. Shop is his best liked subject, and the fu- ture will find him building houses. • MARVEL JEAN LARSON “Lars ', a 5 5 blue-eyed blonde from Scandia will long be remembered as the home- coming queen finalist with the black eye. If she isn't reading or sleeping you will probably find her eating Coney Islands with loads of raw onions. Fashion wise, this snappy look- ing hall monitor looks as if she just stepped out of Ma- demoiselle. • THOMAS LICHTSCHEIDL This fellow with the cheer- ful grin probably has devel- oped his keen interest for dramatic movies from watch- ing television shows, but out- side of that he is strictly an outdoor man who likes hunt- ing, skiing, skating, and fish- ing After high school. Tom plans to be a mechanic. • MARILYN JEAN LONG School would be very quiet if Marilyn, always full ot life, should suddenly leave to go riding horseback which is her favorite hobby. Also, the library would lose one of its habitues, as reading is her fa- vorite pastime. Marilyn sings in choir and at present is tak- ing voice lessons at MacPhai! School of Music. • DENNIS LUTZ Talk about model airplanes and you'll find a willing listen- er in Dennis. Probably they are laying a groundwork lor mechanics, his future vocation. With skiing his favorite pas- time, Dennis' favorite class is shop. When he goes to a movie, he'd rather see army- type pictures than any other. • VIRGINIA MADISON Transferring to Forest Lake in her senior year, Chee Chee, ' as she is often call- ed, likes to play the piano in her spare time. Her ap- preciation of music explains why she is a member ol choir and why she chose as her fa- vorite show ’ American in Par- is '. In the future she would like to attend the Minneapo- lis School of Art and later go into the field of commercial art. • • EILEEN MATHESON Yea, Team' Watching a fast moving basketball or hockey game just can't be topped in Eileen's book She is the only girl in the senior class that has been in both band and choir three years. A capable student in all her classes, she declares that American history was her favorite. This attrac- tive girl with the pretty, long hair and sweet disposition plans to go on to Bible col lege. 28 • LEO MATHESON A lot of fun sometimes comes in little packages This de- scribes Leo, who is seventeen and 5' 5 with brown hair and blue eyes, who plans to larm after graduation. Remember when Jerry Johnson, alumnus, was outsmarted by Leo when he tried to use him as a dummy in one of his ventrilo- quist acts? • NEIL JOHN MATTSON 'Digger'' divides his inter- est into two main channels, which include sciences, domi- nated by radio building and science courses. His other in- terest is music, which explains his favorite pastime, listening to records and his active in- terest in band and German Band. A future Gustavus Adolphus student, Neil says. “King Solomon's Mines' , and chicken and rice can’t he beat. • MARY JOAN McGRATH This amiable Girls' State rep- resentative has made herself well-known in school since she first transferred here in her freshman year from St. Jo- seph’s Academy.

Among these are tumbling and pep club, and she also had a major part in the senior class play People that always complain, beware, because this is Joyce s pet peeve. • JAMES MOODY Jim who loves to tinker witn an old jalopy declares Ex- cuse My Dust was his fa- vorite movie. In his car, this is his favorite expression, too. Sleeping being his favorite pastime explains why he never gets into mischief in Scandia where he hails from. (Ahem!) • HELEN JANE NICHOLAS Helen transferred here in her junior year and helped ii the direction of the senior class play. Her other school activities include band and choir. Helen, who lives on a farm near Hugo, says that rid- ing horseback is her favorite pastime, while collecting stat- ues of horses is her favorite hobby. • ANN NYGREN When asked her future plans, Ann replied that she was planning on being a housewife Although she was probably scared to death, she really enjoyed the movie, “The Thing’ and will long remem- ber it as she will also remem- ber any heart touching story about animals. A choir mem- ber at school, she spends some of her after school hours working at Russell's Dairy. • MURIEL NYGREN Muriel who likes to raise flowers, embroider, and bake cherry pies, asserts that home ec is her favorite subject and plans to further these interests by attending the home eco- nomic school at the University of Minnesota.

With all this music in the air it is easy to see why rudiments and mu- sicals with Dan Dailey, Doris Day, or Mario Lanza capture her interest. Experience gain- ed from being secretary of her class and her lriendly smile will make any employer who hires her as a secretary well pleased. • HARRIET TRUE This high note soprano en- joys a fast game of badminton or a refreshing swim so it is easy to see why she is a GAA member.

Members of the For- est Breeze newspaper staff, and of the biannual staff, work long hours not only during study periods, but after school, too. Extracurricular activities, the Breeze and Forester carry no school credit, yet the budding journal- ists getting their first taste of meeting deadlines often put more time into their writing and editing than they do into a regular class. More than likely that is the reason the Breeze recently won its twelfth All-American award for high school newspapers from the National Scholastic Press Association. You've guessed it! The picture above shows the backbone of the Breeze staff working late one Monday night rushing to meet Tuesday morning's deadline. Left to right are editor Bernie Elliott, Sopho- more editor and staff photographer Paul Wahlquist, copyreader June LaBelle, asso- ciate editor Judy Andersen, and columnist Lo Ann Janssen.

FOREST LAKE FFA CHAPTER The FFA Chapter, an organization for boys en- rolled in vocational agriculture classes, has a mem- bership of 72 boys. The activities of this active group are of a great variety. Most emphasis is on activities to assist members in learning better farming methods. Other activities train for citi- zenship, leadership, cooperation and community service. Boys have participated in livestock, crops, soils, poultry, and horticulture teams in district and state competition. A parliamentary procedure team and a public speaking contest have offered mem- bers leadership activity. Weekly business meetings are held to plan and discuss the many activities. Recreation meetings are held every other week while social parties are held jointly with the FHA once a month. Climaxing the year’s activities is the Annual Parent and Son Banquet held each spring when over 200 boys, parents and friends meet for an awards program and dinner. Another highlight of the year is the State FFA convention held at the University Farm in May in which members take part. 1951-52 officers heading the FFA are: Jim Le- roux, president; Jack McGrath, vice president; Car- roll Broadbent, secretary; Bob Olson, reporter; Dick Olson, treasurer, and Lee D. Sandager, adviser. 53 Princess Marion Dorn Queen Helen Strecker Princess Joyce Miles Princess Mary Jo McGrath Princess Marvel Larson 54 HOMECOMING With Timber-r-r as their war cry, the Forest Lakers attempted to wrest victory from the North Branch eleven in the 1951 Home- coming game. Festivities began with the day- time parade, followed by the out- door pepfest. Mr. Football was revealed to be Vernon Johnson — as if everyone didn't already know. Helen Strecker, popular cheer- leader, was chosen queen over the festivities, and was crowned be- tween halves of the night game. The Rangers lost the game, but that couldn't diminish the excite- ment and gayety of Homecoming. Above, Homecoming King Jay Brisson crowns the new queen. At right, one of the color- ful floats in the daytime pa- rade. 55 Coach Boyd officiates at a mock wedding skit presented at the junior pepfest preceding the North Branch basketball game. (The Rangers won, by the way.) It's Do-si-do as the eighth graders swing their partners in a rhythm class. Some of the boys look a little uncertain about the whole thing, but just wait until they're seniors! The high school students got a bang out of the Ambassador Quartet pictured at left. In a lyceum program, they sang, clowned, and played the Swiss bells for an appreciative audience. 56 Shown rendering Hep Hep are cheerleaders Helen Strecker, captain, Jun LaBelle, Mary Jo McGrath, and Connie Ostrom. On to Victory Faithful followers of the teams whether in victory or defeat were Forest Lake's peppy cheerleaders. The ever agile four, Helen Streck- er, senior, June LaBelle, junior, Mary Jo McGrath, senior, and Con- nie Ostrom, freshmen, went wher- ever the team was playing, regard- less of weather or means of trans- portation. Their eye catching uniforms were gold sweaters and maroon culottes, made by the girls them- selves. The reason why the cheerlead- ers were always smiling was that good sportsmanship and fighting spirit were always shown by all of FLHS's teams throughout the en- tire year. On the following pages are pictured Forest Lake's athletic heroes. 57 The Vikings spoiled Homecoming by defeating the Rangers 14-6. The Vikings led at the half 7-0, but the Rangers came back with a fiery attack and Winnick carried the pigskin around left end for a touchdown. North Branch scored another touchdown in the fourth quarter to clinch the victory and hand the Rangers their fifth loss of the season.

Back, Vernon Johnson, Paul Furrer, Jon Barrott, James Colleen, Dick Houle, and Ray Daninger. BASKETBALL It was 16 straight games for the Rangers in the 1951-52 season as they rolled over all competition in conference and sub-district play. With Paul Furrer leading the scoring, they entered the district finals with high hopes which were dashed by a heartbreaking loss to Chisago City 71-70. Winning the conference and sub district titles was a splendid achievement for the Forest Lake bucketeers, how- ever, and a tribute to the never-say-die spirit of the team and their confidence in coach James Boyd. At left, Ray Daninger goes up high for two more points. 61 Shown above is hard-driving Ranger guard Glen Shodahl going up for a basket. Glen played regular guard along with Vern Johnson. Both are seniors and played on the first five for two years. At the right is Paul Furrer going up for a jump ball along with a North Branch player. Waiting for the tip is Jim Colleen, senior center, who was sec- ond high scorer on the team. Colleen also had the high total for one game, 33 against Chisago City, in the district.

The team was young though, and should have a good year in 1952. Only three lettermen have gradu- ated, and of the three, only one was a regular. Forest Lake started off the sea- son strong by winning their first two games. The Rangers took the measure of Pine City behind the pitching of Alan Solem. Jack Erickson pitched a good game to beat Rush City 4-1. Then Pine City turned back the Rangers 11-7. Coach Boyd used Reick and Olson on the mound, but neither of them could halt the Oregons. Weberg had a big day at the plate by get- ting 3 hits in 4 trips. Chisago City came to town and BASEBALL SCORES FL 7 Pine City 4 FL 4 Rush City 1 FL 7 Pine City 11 FL 1 Chisago City 19 FL 7 Rush City 12 FL 7 Chisago City 2 FL 8 North Branch 3 FL 11 Lindstrom 0 FL 0 Hinckley 20 humiliated the Rangers 19-1. It wasn’t until the seventh inning that the Rangers managed to push across a run. The Rangers then got knocked off by Rush City, but beat the Indians at Chisago behind Solem’s pitching. The Rangers beat North Branch and Lindstrom after school was out to gain a berth in the district. Hinckley drubbed the Rangers and went on to win the district. Because a group picture was not taken, the following lettermen are not pictured: Jack Trudeau, Dick Volkmann, and Jack McGrath. i 64 Dan Olson Stud. Mgr. Vern Johnson Ted Kauls Paul Tyler TRACK Track had a good turnout in mid-April and Coach Man- ley had the squad run down Broadway to Lunzers and later to the end of Broadway. In May, the trackmen trav- eled to Anoka for a meet with Anoka high. Forest Lake made a good showing but couldn't match the depth of Anoka. A quadrangular meet was held at North Branch with Forest Lake, North Branch, Rush City, and Lindstrom. Forest Lake took second while North Branch took first place. The district was held on May 28 at North Branch. The Rangers took fourth place with 43 points. Pine City took first. North Branch second, and Moose Lake third. Those who placed in the district were Patterson in the high hurdles and high jump, Solem in the shot put, discus, and high jump, Kolbow in the 100 and 200 yard dashes, Kauls in the broad jump, and the relay team composed of Jay Brisson, Vern Johnson, Ted Kauls, and Ron Kolbow. Coach Manley is hoping for a good year this season. A lot of young talent was out last year and should be back this year. 65 Pictured above is the FLHS tumbling team. The girls are, from left to right. Row 1: Gretchen Olson, Joyce Miles, Mary Jo McGrath, Rosalie Holl. Row 2: Sally Radtke, Belinda McLean, Doris Palmer and Helen Strecker. Girls’ Tumbling Although there are only eight girls on the tumbling team there are many who would like to be. It requires ability, grace and bal- ance to do the necessary cart- wheels, rolls, flips, backbends, and headstands, etc. Mrs. Iva Keacher directs the girls, who have per- formed at different school activi- ties throughout the year. 66 SOPHOMORES • • Verna Addison, Carolvn Anderson.
