Sc6ooC '' . . . means many things to the many students who yearly traverse the corridors of Forest Lake. To some, life revolves about studies almost exclusively, while to others, myriad activities are crowded into each day along with studies. Indeed, with the phenomenal growth of our school, have come the wider interests of an active student body. But life at FLHS is not even composed solely of books, clubs, athletics and music—though these are staples of our lives. Vivid memories of chilly bus route rides on blustery days, remembrances of drenched classrooms in the new section, the thought of the fast walks home after basketball games on cold nights, all come home to us as we look back. Miss Hanley9 dean of women, is also one of the Freshman Class advisors. Here Wanda Donovan and Renee Wyman inquire about class party regulations. Mrs. Boben, dramatic coach, explains the set to Seniors Rod Tuttle, Jean Hawkinson. Beverly Anderson, and Jerry Dupre as they start preparations for “Yes and No.” Sc ogC . .. 6 4 eta Uy6t i 4tde (44 76e 7oe 604(4 o te ck friactcce Halfback Bert Evgen practices booting points after touchdown while quarterback Jim Trudeau does the holding for him. ,, , (6tettc4 c tea t4 4cxcou4 fcsuxctcce 4C44COK4 (oof Sc6aoC -£t£e . , .

FFA s4cUnieuA ititco t ? zcctC t Responsibility for the effective management of an entire school sys- tem encompassing nearly 200 square miles, and providing facilities, teach- ers, supplies, and policy for some 1800 students falls squarely on the shoulders of the Board of Education of the Forest Lake Area Schools and its executive, J. A. Hughes, superin- tendent of schools. The present sprawling network has been the result of years of planning, and now, as new horizons open, addi- tional changes being brought about by the student “bulge” are in the planning stage.

There are many facets to the operation of a school. Among these are the services required to make it function. Often unnoticed and unthanked are the bus drivers and the members of the kitchen and custodial staffs. 28 29 1956 Homecoming royalty are: princesses Bev Anderson, Becky Arundel, Mary Ekblad, Queen Bernice White and princess Charlene Tolzmann.

Bernice White was crowned Homecoming Queen during the half by Bill Volkmann and John Skoglund. (Because of a tie in voting between co-captains Bill Volkmann and John Skoglund, both were “Mr. Football.”) All the students had the school spirit long before Homecoming. Teachers and students worked hard to get the school spirit back to the Alumni. After defeating Pine City, the team and spectators danced to the music of the “Fifth Hour Five” to put a climax to a Beauti- ful day, a day never to be for- gotten by the seniors of 57. 30 “Puce Defeat. . . . and t£e Sand PCayed u Newly-crowned Queen Bernice White was driven around the field after the half-time crowning cere- monies in the royal convertible.

TVe 7 � Christmas festivities at FLHS began with caroling in the gym three days preced- ing Christmas vacation. The whole student body, with Mr. Hebl directing and Miss Beulke at the Hammond organ rented by the school for the Christmas activities, sang all the favorite carols such as “Silent Night” and “Joy to the World.” The choir also went caroling through the main streets of Forest Lake. at “Why the Chimes Rang” was the play chosen for this year’s traditional pageant which was presented to the PTA on December 20 and to the students on December 21. The pageant was directed by Mrs. Boben and Mr. Hebl. This is the story of the cathedral’s chimes that hadn’t rung for many years. All the kings and wealthy people offered their riches to the Christchild hoping to make the chimes ring, but they rang only when a small boy offered his pennies, an act of true love and self sacrifice. 7 n Highlight of their junior year for the class of ’57 was the production of ‘Ram- shackle Inn’, a three-act mystery-farce by George Batson. ‘Ramshackle Inn’ was a tumble-down hotel with a still in the basement when Belinda Pryde, an ex-librar- ian from East Ipswich, and Commodore Towser, her boy friend of 20 years arrived to assume ownership. In her efforts to uncover the liquor smuggling gang using her basement as headquarters she encounters considerable trouble. Mr. Patton, the smuggling janitor, doesn’t like her and tries to “do her in.” Belinda isn’t as dumb as she looks and acts, however, and at the end of the play she succeeds in capturing the whole gang and receives a $5,000 reward for her trouble. All in all, the play provided a lot of fun and laughs for everyone, audience, cast, and crew. 34 Top photo: Mary Ekblad as Belinda Pryde, Chester Hapka as Commodore Towser, Be' Anderson as Gail Russell, Betty Ciesielski as Mary Temple, Darryl Sawyer as Constable Small, Ted Olson as Mr. Patton, and Charlene Tolzmann as Mathilda Janeway, alias Joyce Rogers.

How many plays have you seen that have started the same way in all three acts? Unusual as it may seem, it was true of “Yes and No,” the play presented by the Senior Class on Nov- ember 9. The action starts when the Jarrow fam- ily is paid a visit by Adrian Marsh who, they assume, is com- ing to propose to Jo. In the first act he proposes to her and she says yes. In the second act he proposes to her and she says no. In the third act is told what really happened; Adrian proposed to Sally, Jo’s sister, and the curtain came down on a love scene between Jo and Bags, who has been engaged to Sally throughout the play.

Three performances were given; one on Thursday, March 7, and two on Friday, March 8, for the pre- schoolers and their parents.

Much of the credit for this successful season can be given to pitcher Jerry Pepin, who hurled five one-hit games. In the District finale Forest Lake took Hinckley 14-1 and in the final game of play beat Lindstrom 8-0. This entitled the Ranger team to travel to Hinckley where they participated in the Regional meet. In the first game Forest Lake edged out Eveleth with a 1-0 score. In the final game they were beaten by Hibbing 7-1. The leading hitters of the season were Ron Dupre and Dean Weiss. Standing, left to right: Coach Hanson, Gale Berggren, Forrest Sexson, Gary Houle, Richard Moorehouse, Bob Cronk, Darryl Bradford, Cecil Rogers, Ivars Kauls, and Coach Hubal. Second row: Hermann Kauls, Zigurds Kauls, Norman Grubb, Norman Laschinger, Gerald Muller, Kenneth Skoglund, John Skoglund, Alan Robinson, David LeVesseur, Harold Carr. The Ranger track squad, under the able coaching of Vic Hubal and Ken Hanson, won the first Region 7 title for a Ranger squad in twenty years. After being edged out in District 25 by one point the four qualifiers for the region tournament went to Colerane and pulled the Ranger sport surprise of the year as they walked away with the crown. The four-man relay team consisted of Ivars Kauls, John Skoglund, Bob Cronk, and Norm Grubbs. From there, Ivars Kauls went on to the state tournament and came out fourth in the 220 yard dash. Trackman Gary Houle hurls the discus in a practice session.

COACH HANSON With comparatively few returning lettermen, the ’56 Ranger football squad, headed by co-captains Bill Volkmann and John Skoglund, took on and were nipped 13-7 in the season’s opener by the powerful St. Paul Park team that was destined to shut out every other team in the Little Six Confer- ence. For their second non-con tilt, the local eleven traveled to Chisago City and emerged on the long end of a 21-14 score. The Homecoming contest found the team de- lighting all the students and grads as they over- powered Pine City 28-6. A string of three away games was next for the Rangers and they lengthened their winning streak to four with victories over North Branch (26-6), 42 Rush City (31-7), and Moose Lake (25-6). On October 22, Lindstrom-Center City and Forest Lake, both undefeated in conference play, met for the championship. The Bulldogs tallied early in the first quarter, but the Rangers were scoreless until the fourth when Trudeau threw a touchdown pass to Dean Weiss and tied the score. With about two minutes remaining, Trudeau again passed, this time to John Skoglund who made a left handed catch and sprinted over for the score, giving Forest Lake a 13-7 win and the East Central Conference crown. As the finish to an almost perfect season, the Rangers routed Mahtomedi, 25-0, the following week.

After losing last year’s entire starting five, Coach Hal Haskins was faced with what seemed to be prospects of a rather bleak season. The team immediately started developing its superior speed and displayed it prominently by winning it’s first three non-conference games. COACH HASKINS As conference games began, the Rangers’ inex- perience started to show up when they were de- feated by Rush City, Lindstrom. and Chisago City. Twice Pine City, North Branch and Taylors fell victim to the Rangers, and the close of the regular season found Forest Lake with a 6-6 conference record. In their first sub-district contest, the Rangers easily downed Taylors Falls, 73-59. The Bluejays led twice in the opening minutes, but the Rangers pulled away and held the lead to the final gun. The sub-district championship found Forest Lake meeting Chisago City. Although the Indians had defeated the Rangers twice in conference play, the local five went into the game to win and after Soderlind’s opening set shot gave Chisago the first lead, the Haskinsinen literally ran away with the game to lead by 17 points at the first quarter. In spite of the Indians’ fighting spirit, they could never get closer than seven points, and the Rangers triumphed, 59-45. The following week they took part in the district tourney at Pine City. 47 Co-captains John Skoglund and Butch Van Elsberg receive the Sub-District trophy from superintendent J. A.

Led by Mr. Harold Hebl, the choir has par- ticipated in many events this past year. Mr. Hebl directed a production of “Off the Rec- ords” for a festival of “pop” songs. The choir has also been represented at All-State Choir and MEA in the fall. Last year the choir re- ceived an “A” at District contest and went on to sing at the state. It again took part in District contest this spring. To end the year with solemnity, the choir sang at the bac- calaureate and graduation exercises. 52 MR. HEBL, Director Jeran‘srtanelLefBev Tvler M?

Janice Sahlin and Rick Pepin have done a very able job as this year’s editors. The “Rustling Leaves” column, written each week by Judy Houle, is being done in a different way this year and has proved quite effective. With .Mr. Rafferty as advisor, the BREEZE again was rated by the National Scholastic Press Association. Although it is a great deal of work getting the BREEZE off on time every week, the staff agrees it is very worthwhile, and they won’t ever forget their experiences in it.

Gayle Stokes and Mary Ekblad Work for the 1956-57 edition of the FORESTER began as soon as school did this fall with the appointing of committees for pic- ture taking and subscription sell- ing. Every Wednesday and Thursday after school and many Saturdays you could find the editors and Mr. Rafferty (our guiding light) hard at work, taking or developing pic- tures, counting sales, writing copy, setting up dummy pages, prepar- ing copy for print, and hoping to meet the publisher’s deadlines. The staff truly hopes you will enjoy and treasure this, your 1956-57 FORESTER. to Members of the FORESTER staff, left to right: Darlene Oothoudt, Charlene Tolzmann, Gayle Stokes, Janice Hoglund, and Mary Ekblad. etten ne t Front row, left to right: Greg Pepin, Joe Trepanier, John Skoglund, Bert Evgen, Jirn Heisler.

(2 x«tcent Under the wise, constructive leadership and direction of Mr. Rollin Nelson, our band is a very active school organization. We need not worry about not having the band at pepfests, programs, games, and parades—for “Que Sera, Sera, Whatever Will Be Will Be.’’ And the band will be where it is needed. Whether the weather is cold or hot, icey, rainy, or fair the band is present to add their touch to the festivities. During summer months the band marches in parades on the Fourth of July and Memorial Day and in many other parades in neighboring towns. Summer concerts are also given. While school is in session, the band plays for all pepfests, basketball and football games, the Christmas program, and finally Graduation. A big project of the entire seventy piece band is the contest number. Last year our band received “A” at state, which served as a pleasant reward for the months of practice put in by the band members. 64 MR.
