Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1961 volume:

In the fifty years during which students have se- cured their education and received their diplomas from FLHS, revolutionary changes have been brought about in the school and the community of which this school is a part. From 1912 when some of the first automobiles were being placed on the market until 1961 when a man in space seemed close to being a reality, fifty classes of students have graduated from FLHS. The school had its beginnings in 1909, when the first building was dedicated and classes were held for the first time. In 1912 the first class, con- sisting of one, George Simmons, graduated from the high school. In 1936 when the silver anniversary of the school was celebrated, there were 56 students in the senior class. The class which graduates in 1961 will contain 125 students. To accommodate this con- tinuing increase in enrollment, planning has been geared to the future and building programs have expanded the school to considerable size. Now FLHS again looks ahead to the future and the class of 1966, which numbers about 210 students, as the ground is broken for another new addition. But, as the date of the fiftieth graduation from FLHS draws closer, permit us to look back and offer our salute to a great fifty years. — The Editors r X OREST Lake gains many things from the beautiful lakes around which it is built. Even the name of the town, itself, comes from these lakes. The cold of winter makes the lakes a frozen wonderland of ice and snow. Children take advantage of this as they bring out their skates and skis to begin the winter sports season. The lakes become large villages as adults take up ice fishing and the annual fishing contest is held. The long-awaited summer season finally arrives and the people move to the lakes to take part in the various summer sports. As the crispness of autumn fills the air, and the colorful leaves fall from the trees, this scene becomes commonplace in the homes surrounding the lakes. The last chore of the fall season is always that of beaching the boat.

Administration, Board Guide Plans for New Facilities Responsibility for the effective management of the sprawling Forest Lake School System falls on the shoulders of the Board of Education and the school administrators. These policy-makers work tediously long hours to keep things running smoothly throughout the year. The members of the school board, who are elected by the people of school district 831 for a three-year term, have the authority to hire new teachers, accept bids for school services or development, and generally act as representatives of the people. Though the managing of the school's business details falls on Mr. Hughes and the Board of Education, the cur- riculum planning and general managing of the daily operation of the school are the responsibili- ties of the principals. These various operations of business management, teacher assignments, cur- riculum planning, and scheduling, when put to- gether, constitute the organization that is known as the Forest Lake School.

The freedom of an individual to worship as he pleases is evident for at least nine different religious denomina- tions are represented by the students at- tending Forest Lake High School. Conflicts often occur in the schedules of the school and various church groups. To help eliminate this the school has traditionally left Wednes- day night free for church activities. Stu- dents are faced with many problems in their years in high school and turn often to their church and to their God for help. The strength and unity of faith reflects itself in the strength and unity of today's student body and tomorrow's world. The 1961 FORESTER respectfully salutes the churches of this area. FLHS Students Active in Them A HE businesses of Forest Lake have to play the dual role of supplying the basic needs to both suburban home owners and rural farm families. This can be pointed out by the fact that FL has as many agricultural implement dealers as it does apparel stores, as many feed dealers as furniture markets. During the first 75 years of growth, population and business expansion were slow but steady. After WWII Forest Lake experienced a business boom which is still magnifying the business development each year. The attitude of the community is very favorable toward new business and therefore almost every year has seen the constructing of a new service or trade. The existing busi- nesses do a more than adequate job of providing the people who come to them from within a several-mile radius with whatever commodities they desire. The fine merchandise and friendly service they extend have be- come an accepted part of our community. The 1961 FORESTER wishes to salute the businesses of the Forest Lake area. Businesses Are Integral Part of Community In These Fifty Years — Agriculture Has Played Major Role In Area’s Development In the fifty years in which FLHS has been sending students on to other pursuits, it has seen many of these students become affected in some manner by the most important economic force in our area, agri- culture. Many students have furthered their education in the agricultural field and have become farmers. Active Future Farmers of the local chapter engage in programs to train members in modern farm man- agement. FLHS has included an agricultural program within its curriculum for many years past. And perhaps no facet of rural life has seen greater development in fifty years than that of edu- cating the student of the farm areas and enabling him to receive the benefits of education which are available to a child of a city home. No longer is a student denied the privilege of a high school edu- cation because he lives fifteen miles from the school, for now our bus transportation network has ex- panded to include an area of nearly 200 square miles. An agricultural training program has also been enlarged to accommodate those students who plan to devote their lives to the production of the neces- sities of life. Students specializing in this area of study have the opportunity to learn modern methods and techniques of farming and apply them on the farm which is maintained by the school. Many stu- dents from these programs are now operating farms in the rolling hills of Washington and Chisago coun- ties, and on the flat lands in the western portions of District 831. The 1961 Fiftieth Anniversary edition of the FORESTER salutes the farmers and subsidiary in- dustries of the area.

Academic Life of School Revolves Around Its Large ROGER DEMING Science DONALD DENNISON Science MARVIN FURHMAN Science HERBERT HARPER Science Mathematics Interest in Math, A continued interest prevailed in the math and science fields this year. The importance of having qualified scientists for fu- ture years encouraged many students to avail themselves of the opportunities to achieve success in this field. Science and math courses are available in all grades. Junior high students are taught basic mathematics and natural science. Freshmen may also study algebra, as a preparation for higher algebra, a senior high elective. Lines, angles, and circles be- come common things to those enrolled in plane geometry. Higher algebra students vary their studies from basic signed numbers to logarithms. An advanced combination of these courses is offered in solid geometry. Biology, a science dealing with all forms of plant and animal life, is a favorite with all science-minded students. The sixth annual wildlife dinner was sponsored by this year's biology students. 18 IT'S EDIBLE, BUT WHAT IS IT - Sandy Ashbach. Science Remains High WITH THE AID OF HIS EVER-PRESENT BLACKBOARD, MR.

HIS JUNIOR HIGH CLASS. 19 Students Adjust to Science Following the trend established by many other schools, FLHS has made a change in this year's curriculum. Previously, physics has been considered a junior subject and chemistry was taken in the senior year. Because chemistry is an impor- tant prerequisite to an understanding of physics, chemistry will now be considered a junior subject. Physics will then be taken by next year's seniors. Due to this change, enrollment in chemistry classes increased as a large number of both juniors and seniors registered for this course. The composition of matter and the changes it un- dergoes became a prime concern to these students. After be- ginning their study with an understanding of the periodic table and a general knowledge of all the elements, chemis- try students continued their studies by learning of the various elements and their structures. The modern, well-equipped laboratory gave students the opportunity to experiment in the many phases of chemistry and put their knowledge to a practical test. For those who do not plan to continue their scientific studies, but wish to have some knowledge of mathematics and its use in their daily life, FLHS offers a course in consumers' mathematics.

Junior Accelerated English Added in Language Arts Perhaps most basic to living in the years ahead is a thorough understanding of our language. Thus English is the course required of all students. By adding an accelerated English class for juniors to this year's curriculum, FLHS has again given students a chance to prepare themselves for college. This advanced Eng- lish course has worked especially on creative writings and literary works, placing emphasis on poetry and drama. The junior and senior accelerated English courses attempt to create a near college level course so that students will be prepared particularly for the composition skills required of them as college students. Speech includes not only the learning of speech skills, but also the study of history and presentation of drama. Highlighting this course is an extension of the speech project making it more detailed, and including a term paper and a lecture by each student. WITH THE AID OF THESE AMBITIOUS STUDENTS, MRS.

Al- though Latin is no longer a spoken language, students have found it especially helpful in understanding English. Classes in Spanish were held this year on both first and second year levels. Besides learn- ing the basic fundamentals of the Spanish language, Spanish students study the culture of their adopted country. Classes are often- times conducted in Spanish, and a Spanish dinner highlights the course.

Commercial Classes Added LEROY STANG The commercial department at FLHS was expanded this year to accommodate the increasing number of students interested in entering business as a career. By adding a half a year of typing in the freshman business course, each student learns the basic skills of typewriting. Typing is also offered as a one year elective. After taking typing, a student may enroll in office practices. This course gives the student an idea of the modern-day business office and acquaints him with the operation of various business machines. Shorthand, a two year course, builds up the speed and accuracy that are so vitally needed as a stenographer. POPCORN ANYONE? JUST SEE MR.

Social Studies Highlight Election Year Whether it be the maneuvers of a World War II battle or the difficulty of keeping a sound economy, each stu- dent of social studies gains a greater understanding of the events of yesterday, the situations of today, and the problems of tomorrow. Seventh graders begin courses in the social studies field with a course on American history and government. The geography of the world is pursued in the eighth grade. Sophomores again concern themselves with the history of their country. An increased number of students again enrolled in the world history and affairs course. This course varies in nature from the bureaucracy of the ancient Chinese to the appointees of the new President. Seniors turn their thoughts to solving the problems of an American democracy. Problems range from personal problems to international problems as great as the containment of Communism. Procedures varied from the ordinary this year in all social studies classes, as students turned their attention to the 1960 Presidential election. Student interest ran high as they pledged their support to the various can- didates with slogans, posters, and campaign buttons. Also of special interest was the fifteenth annual meeting of the United Nations General Assembly. As a whole, the social studies courses prepare students to face the challenges of the world which awaits them when they finish high school. These courses do their best to aid the citizens of tomorrow in forming the ideals by which they will live. For the ideals of tommorow's leaders depend upon the preparation of today's stu- dents.

Triangulation, glue joints, proper dimensioning, and linoleum block printing become second nature to the 413 boys enrolled in shop programs at FLHS. Beginning in seventh grade when industrial arts is required, the students work in drawing, crafts, leather, plastics, and metal tooling. Special projects include such things as key cases, pen holders, and placques of tooled metal. Eighth graders specialize further in draw- ing, wood work, and crafts, and work with electricity is included for the first time. Freshmen enrolled in in- dustrial arts spend one semester working with wood and larger pieces of furniture and learn proper use of power machines. A second semester is spent in electrical work. Students in this course make their own radio re- ceiver and wire a bell system for use in a house. They also become familiar with the use of currents and learn JOHN SCHUMACHER RUSSEL HAMMOND Industrial Arts Industrial Arts Athletics to figure voltage and amperes. Senior-high students are offered a variety of shop courses. A course in general metals is open to all senior high boys. After becoming familiar with the use and function of many machines, the students go on to practice various types of welding. This course also in- volves an art project with metal, and work with drafting on sheet metal. Drawing courses vary from a general drawing course to architectural drawing. Students in the latter course actually draw a scale model of their dream home. Elementary and advanced cabinet work are also offered. Students can learn to build furniture for use in their homes. These industrial art courses give students training necessary to prepare for vocations or avocations.

Sewing, Cooking, Decorating Taught in Home Economics DOROTHY ARFSTROM Home Economics ROSEMARY RIGGS Home Economics Preparing the homemakers of tomorrow to face the task which awaits them is the job of FLHS's Home Economics Department. Seventh and eighth graders in home economics classes started the year with a unit on good grooming. The girls learned to choose and care for their clothing properly and to improve their own appearance. Sewing was a new experience for many, as the girls made pleated skirts and worked on dusters or pajamas. While the eighth grade prepared foods for luncheons, the seventh graders used the theme, A Good Breakfast Makes A Good Day ' The Freshman Class began the year with a course on family relations which included dating and understanding themselves. After this they began to prepare for their guest dinner by making rolls, preparing meats, and planning budget dinners. The freshman and advanced home economics classes had units on color, texture, and line, after which they made dresses or wool clothing. Home economics is not all work, but it is fun also. While a cooking class was busy making tunafish salad without the tuna, one girl in sewing was putting her sleeves in backwards. 30 Ag Department Is Center Of Area Farm Activity In the many years that the Agriculture Department has been a part of this school, it has helped both students and adults. Since 1955, Forest Lake's two-man Agriculture Depart- ment has been located in the converted bus garage. Facilities in this building included the offices for both teachers and a conference room, together with a classroom, a laboratory, and a farm shop where students and adults learn farm mechanic skills. The department serves the entire area with an educational program for high school students and adult farmers. Adult education includes classroom instruction and management service for the farmers in the area, and also aids in consider- able community service. Students are classified in groups according to their grade. In Ag I, the farming program plans are included. Students have projects to be completed and also study the fundamen- tals of livestock management. Ag II consists of the science of animal nutrition, composition of feed, and feeding of live- stock. In Ag III and IV farm management is a major topic. Agricultural projects range from dairy cattle and hogs to such things as bees. These projects are an important part of class work and certainly help the boys become better and more successful farmers.

A new arrangement of band and choir rehearsals gave Mr. Nelson an opportunity to give special help to students in B band during two homeroom periods. These homerooms were then left free for Mr. Rose to conduct soprano-alto and bass-tenor sectionals. SINGING IS HARD WORK AS MR.

As part of a state-wide program, FLHS placed special emphasis on body conditioning exercises. Such emphasis on tumbling and con- ditioning exercises by each individual has re- placed to a large extent a previous plan of var- ious team sports. This type of program puts each individual on his own so that he can no longer rely on other team members to carry him along. Also included in this expanding phys- ical education program is a further attempt to interest high school students in continuing their studies in this field and pursuing carerrs in phys- ical education. To aid students in deciding if this should be their field of study, Mrs. Stang has given senior high girls the chance to act as stu- dent teachers in her classes. Besides being respon- sible for an active participation in physical sports, students are expected to know the rules and procedures followed in each sport. MR.

For this reason, an increasing number of special services is now being offered at FLHS. The guidance department, only three years in operation, has expanded into a large scale coun- seling program. A varitty of aptitude, achieve- ment, and interest tests provide the basis for individual counselor-student conferences. These conferences help students choose future classes and vocations. Students with special problems in reading or mathematics are helped by another special serv- ice of FLHS, the remedial reading and math- ematics classes. A new feature begun this year, under the direction of Mrs. Volkmann, gives spe- cial attention to the exceptional child.

NELSON, OUR BAND IS AGAIN LIVING UP TO THE REPU- TATION OF BEING AMONG THE BEST. MUCH OF THE BUSY PAPER WORK IS GIVEN OVER TO THE SECRETARY, SANDY PETERSON, AS SHE PREPARES BAND LISTS, ISSUES UNIFORMS, HANDS OUT MUSIC, AND ACTS AS MR. NELSON'S RIGHT HAND MAN. Band Elated Over Long-Awaited Uniforms Proudly donning their newly acquired uniforms, the high school band made their initial public appearance in a winter concert presented in December. The new uniforms may be easily changed from a formal concert uniform to a more dazzling uni- form for marching. For concerts the band is dressed in an all-black uniform with accents of gold and white. Marching brings on a new spark- ling look to the eye of the viewer, as gold fronts and backs accented with maroon letters are added. Playing at the Christmas Concert, pepfests, parades, the annual district contest and a special appearance on WCCO's Prep Parade gave the band many opportunities to appear before the public. Under the direction of Mr. Nelson, plans are being made to include an increased number of parades in the summer schedule.

Amid showers of confetti, nominating speeches, and parades for the favorite candidates, FLHS held its first Student Council nominating convention in much the same style as the national Presidential conventions are held. As the officers, class representatives, and commissioners work to use the ideas and programs of the new con- stitution, it may have seemed much like the beginning of a Student Council for the first time. Forest Lake High School's Student Council had its beginning in the school year of 1936-1937 with Grace Forsberg serving as the first Prexie. In the twenty-five years of the council's existence, Forest Lake has been host to two St. Paul district conventions. Many advisors have served the council, and in the past three years, the counselors have served in this capacity. The Student Council is now under the able direction of Mr. Wittig. As the governing body of the students of FLHS, the Student Council has endeavored to promote student interest in the various school functions. Granger the Ranger became the mascot of the Junior Class as an award for the highest activity ticket sales. In further efforts to make Homecoming a more memorable event, the Student Council worked to further interest in it, and conducted a Homecoming poll which gave the students a chance to express their ideas for a more successful Homecoming. The council also sponsored the first dance of the school year and sponsored a school-wide Christmas toy drive for needy children. Throughout the years the programs of the student council have developed to their present form and the Student Council has become a very effective governing body. STUDENT COUNCIL COMMISSIONERS — SEATED — Don Morehouse, Sharon Proulx, Sharon Case, Carole Christensen, Kathy O'Brian, Sandy Kasma, STANDING — Jim Degendorfer, Donna Bond, Tom Stringer, Andy Hauer, Allen Stringer, Ken Quigley. Publications Meet Change, Expansion A quick look into the publications' room will find typewriters, borrowed from various places, in con- stant use, stories being written and rewritten and rewritten, editors frantically working to meet their deadlines and a general atmosphere of confusion. Both of the school's publications have found this year to be one of expansion and change. To assure that the BREEZE will live up to the fine ratings previously achieved and provide complete and accurate coverage of every school activity, news chairmen have been assigned to check for possible stories each week. The new positions of busi- ness manager and news editor were created to assure efficient production. Subscriptions were taken from students who desired to have their own personal copy of the BREEZE each week. The new advisors, Mr. Arneson and Mr. Welshons, never failed to see that their staff always finished in time to meet the press. 1961 marks the school's Golden Anniversary, and to commemorate this, a special FORESTER will include glimpses of years past as well as plans for the future. Since the community plays such an important part in the daily life of the students and their school, the yearbook contains a special tribute to various phases of the community. THE MEMBERS OF THE BREEZE STAFF POOL TALENTS OF WRIT- ING, TYPING, HEADLINING, AND GENERAL RESOURCEFUL- NESS TO MEET EACH WEEKLY DEADLINE.

TO THE MORE THAN 30 FORESTER STAFF MEMBERS ARE ASSIGNED SUCH DUTIES AS COLLECTING SUBSCRIPTIONS, SOLICITING AND DESIGNING ADS, AND WRITING COPY. Singers Perform at F. L.’s Events Under the capable direction of Mr. Russell Rose, the eighty voice choir again completed another successful year. The first performance of the year came at Christmas as the choir together with the dramatics department presented the Christmas story. With the coming of spring, the choir presented their Spring Concert to the public. The program presented in the elementary gym was divided into two parts, the sacred numbers performed in robes and the secular numbers in formal attire. Featured in the concert were the choir's contest numbers and a medley of tunes from the hit Broadway show Kismet. One of the biggest thrills for the choir was the ex- change trip to Lake City High School in Lake City, Minnesota in '59-'60. The choir loaded their robes, as well as formals, into the two chartered buses for the ninety mile trip.

OOOHI ANYONE COULD TELL SHE USES IVORY LIQUIDI 62 Val, Denny Named 1960 HC Royalty A crisp autumn day set the stage for Homecoming, I960, at Forest Lake High School. Amid cheers of approval, last year's royalty, Sharon DeLong and Ken Anderson, chose the new king and queen, Dennis Booren and Valerie Dupre. Following the pepfest and coronation, the entire student body viewed the Homecoming parade. The high school band, the newly-crowned royalty, and the class floats highlighted the parade. In the evening, the Rangers properly Blackened the Blue jays to the tune of 34 to 6. After the game alumni joined students at the annual dance, whose theme this year was, Homecoming in Hawaii. Be- fore the game all alumni were honored guests at a special coffee hour. Thursday evenings events started with a pep rally and bonfire followed by a sock hop. After the intro- duction of the candidates and talks by the football co-captains, the band led a snake-dance back to the gym for the sock-hop. All-in-all, Homecoming, 1960, proved to be a tre- mendous success. AFTER THE BIG MOMENT, VAL AND DENNY FOUND THEMSELVES THE CENTER OF ATTRACTION FOR THE REST OF THE HOMECOMING FES- TIVITIES.

L.’s First All School Production Is 'Teahouse of the August Moon’ Forest Lake High School's Thespian troupe assumed a greater role in the school this year as they took over the presentation of the school's dramatic productions. Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court became the last of the class plays, which were replaced by the all-school plays spon- sored by the Thespians. Under the direction of dramatics Coach Roland Fischer, the Thespians combined a goat and an army jeep together with cricket cages and an oriental teahouse to present their first production, Teahouse of the August Moon. Medea, a Greek tragedy, was presented as the contest play. A junior high Thespian troupe was or- ganized to aid in presenting these plays and also to train students in dramatic appreciation and presentation. SINCE NO GEISHA GIRL COULD BE COMPLETE WITHOUT A TEAHOUSE, THIS GROUP OF ORIENTAL VILLAGERS AND AN INGENIOUS AMERICAN Gl CONSTRUCTED THE LOVELY TEAHOUSE OF THE AUGUST MOON. A PET GOAT HARDLY SEEMED THE THING TO INCLUDE ON A TRIP TO A NATIVE VILLAGE, BUT WHEN IT CAME TO TESTING THEIR LATEST ENTERPRISE, THIS Gl AND HIS INTERPRETER WERE GLAD TO HAVE HIM AROUND. F. F. A. Again Given National Honors With a total of 65 members, grades 9—12, comprising the FFA chapter, this organization has lived up to its motto, Learning to do, doing to learn, in the classroom, experimental farm, and at home. The members have put this motto to use by earning a gold medal at the national convention last fall. This year Leo Houle, Fran Faymoville, Gene Riopel, Bernard Knauff, and Virgil Springer, together with Advisor Ray Kulbeck rep- resented the chapter at the national FFA convention in Kansas City, Missouri. FFA boys also-take part in public and parliamentary speaking contests, soil and land judging meets, annual parent and son's banquet, and in the lighter phase, recreational meetings with the FHA chapter. This organization has been created especially for boys interested in farming. Throughout the year they have participated in many worthwhile activities all helping to make Forest Lake's FFA chapter one of the top three in the state of Minnesota.

This also marks the last time the Rangers will compete as part of the East Central Conference, for beginning with the 1960-61 basketball sea- son, FLHS will move into a new conference. Next year's Rangers will face much tougher competition as they compete with the teams of the Skyline Conference. Avenging a defeat of the previous season, the Rangers topped Braham 32—14 in the first game of the season. Spring Lake Park shattered Forest Lake's eight-game winning streak with a score of 26—13. The locals then defeated Lindstrom-Center City 40—7 and scored a Flomecoming triumph over Taylors Falls with a 34—6 win. Forest Lake's gridsters then rolled over North Branch 34—13 and kept powerful Rush City score- less at 25—0. They clinched the conference title with a 25—0 win over Chisago City. The Rangers' bid for a second district crown was denied by Barnum's powerful one- man backfield. Barnum tromped over the locals with a 21—6 victory in the district championship game. Forest Lake's powerful grid machine con- cluded the season with a record of six wins and two losses. They also placed four start- ing lettermen on the All-Conference roster. Gary Zak was elected to the end position, Darrell Thurnbeck nailed down the guard spot, and Rudy Olson and Dennis Booren were awarded two of the backfield positions. Confident of continued victories, the FLHS Rangers move into a new conference with a very impressive past record. Even the flying leap of a Rush City Tiger couldn't stop George Vedder from scoring a touchdown. Elected to the 1960 All-Conference footboll team from FLHS were — Gary Zak, Rudy Olson, Dennis Booren, and Darrell Thurnbeck. These four Rangers will testify to the fact that Barnum's Arneson was not an easy match.

The locals also copped first place in meets with Pine City and Spring Lake Park and placed second in the Skyline Conference championship meet. Bill Cruse led the harriers in their efforts, placing first in nearly all meets entered. His best time on the rugged 1.8 mile course was 9 minutes, 17 seconds. In his final cross-country race of the year, Cruse ran in ninth place out of 175 participants in the state meet. He has already become the best long dis- tance runner in FLHS history. ''After 1.8 miles, only inches to go. Bill Cruse meets the chute first in the first skyline loop championship meet.

Left with only one starter from last year's team and- only several others with any great amount of game experience behind him, Mr. Conley was faced with a momentous rebuilding task. After spending two games with Milaca and Spring Lake Park looking for a winning combination, the Rangers finally settled down to wallop St. Paul Park and St. Francis by one- sided scores. The Christmas lay-off played havoc with the Rangers as they dropped three straight games to St. Paul Wilson, and the two leaders of the Skyling loop, Osseo and Mahtomedi, by wide margins. However, they proved resilient dur- SCORES FL....47 Milaca .............. 59 FL... .46 Spring Lake Park .... 56 FL....73 St. Paul Park.........47 FL.... 69 St Francis........... 57 FL. . 61 Cambridge ........... 80 FL. .. .62 Braham .............. 59 FL. .50 St. Paul Wilson......71 FL. . . .37 Mahtomedi ......... 60 FL.... 59 Osseo ..............64 FL.... 51 Fridley ............. 50 FL....51 Centennial ........ 33 FL. . . .53 Spring Lake Park . 52 FL. . . .77 St. Paul Park ..... 51 FL . .. . 81 St. Francis........ 70 FL.... 63 Osseo...............72 FL....42 Mahtomedi ........... 69 ing the next few weeks as they won four straight over Fridley, Centennial, Spring Lake Park, and St. Francis to take undisputed posses- sion of third place. Then the team lost two more games to Osseo and Mahtomedi, but had a chance to avenge them when they took on Fridley and Centennial. Although they no longer compete in the old East Central Conference, the Rangers will once again take part in the wars of District 25 when they will be seeded into the sub-district's play- offs, beginning on February 27.

For the first time the Forest Lake golf team, coached by Mr. Nyman, competed in the Skyline Conference. Playing each of the five teams once, they advanced to the Skyline Conference Tournaments which were held at Forest Lake during May. Besides playing in the new conference, the team also participated in the District 25 tournaments. Of the eight boys participating in golf, only two are returning lettermen. Under the direction of Mr. Terry and Mr. Matteson, the Forest Lake tennis team also participated in the Skyline Conference. Playing each Mahtomedi and St. Paul Park twice, the team traveled to Proctor for regional tournaments held May 31. With twenty boys out for tennis, only seven play at each match or tournament in three singles and two doubles matches.

Mike Trepanier smashes the ball far into left field, demonstrating fine action which led the team to the District Championship. Diamondmen Annex Loop, District Crowns Last year's Ranger diamond squad cli- maxed a successful season by bringing home two coveted trophies. Their 4—0 record in conference play won them the East Central Conference championship and the right to compete in the district tournament. By squelching the attempts of McGrath and Pine City, the squad also captured the District 25 crown. They were shut out by Coleraine in the first round of the Region 7 tournament. Pitching work-horse of the team was Sen- ior Bill Morehead who finished the season with a 7—2 slate. Other senior squad mem- bers included Duane Boyer, Mike Trepanier, and Ken Anderson. A record of 10 wins and 4 losses topped off a successful season for the Rangers. BASEBALL SQUAD — FRONT ROW — Jerry Gerlich, Mike Trepanier, Bill Morehead, Don Morehead, Donn Johnson, Mr. Stang.

Although the combined efforts of the team weren't quite enough to snag the top spot, the locals placed first in three events. Juris Kauls came in first in the 440 yard dash, Bill Cruse topped the field in the 880 yard run, and the mile relay team also gained first place. One highlight of the season came in a dual meet at Stillwater when Juris Kauls won first place in the 440 yard dash with a record-breaking time of 54.2. Bill Cruse also turned in a record-breaking performance as he finished the 880 yard run in 2.04.9 in the Cheng- watanana Invitational.

MATTESON POINTS OUT WRESTLING TECHNIQUES TO POSSIBLE FUTURE WRESTLERS. In it's third year the FLHS wrestling team has again met high competition with other more experienced conference teams. Spurred on to victories by co-captains. Jay Wright and Wayne Gilbertson, a team was formed with the usual con- ditioning and the learning and practicing of skills, which took place every available afternoon. Led by Coaches Tom Matteson, Frank Terry, and Donald Dennison, the wrestling team won four and lost three meets, placing fourth in the conference dual meets, in which there are seven other participating teams. During these regular dual meets, FLHS held a quadrangular match with Orono, St. Croix Falls, Centennial, and Forest Lake teams challenging each other. Forest Lake ranked second with a score of 86 points, following the winning Centennial team which scored 90. Forest Lake High School also played host to the Conference Tournament in which the FLHS team placed fourth, with Spring Lake Park taking high honors. Wrestling Squad Fares Well Against New Loop Foes Cheerleaders Spark School Spirit SENIOR CHEERLEADERS - Val Dupre, Sue Behind the polished appearance of Fl s cheerleaders at pepfests and athletic contests go many hours of practice and preparation. These girls work out once a week throughout the summer months of July and August and continue this routine for the entire school year. While the athletes enjoyed a two week vacation between football and the opening of the basketball and wrestling season, these five girls continued their weekly work-outs in order to keep in shape. Three senior girls, one junior, and one sophomore are represented on the squad. All five are outstanding students and leading school citizens.

F. A. Sweetheart May we present this year's FFA Chapter Sweet- heart, Candy Proulx. Each February the FFA mem- bers have the pleasure of selecting a girl from FHA to represent them during the year. After five candi- dates have been chosen, the final announcement is made at the FFA-FHA square dance and the hon- ored queen is given a white FFA jacket. Sophomore Royalty This year's Sophomore Royalty, Queen Anne Jenuwine and King Jim Preiner, were first presented to their classmates at the sophomore- sponsored Sweetheart Swirl. The Sophomore Class selects the candi- dates for King and Queen of Hearts in early February and the entire school helps make the final decision. 110 4 'Tfote frio , t£e ScU vui . . , We hope you have enjoyed seeing ogain Forest Lake High School, 1961. It has been our privilege to serve as editors of the Forester which commemorates the school's fiftieth anniversary. We have tried to include a salute to the years past and a pre- view of the years to come. May we extend our congratulations to Forest Lake High School on its Golden Anniversary. An annual such as this could not be possible without the help of many people. Each of us could make a long list of people to thank, for even behind each picture we had co-operative sub- jects. A special thank you should be extended to the adminis- tration and faculty for their efforts in helping us obtain accurate information about the First f fty years. The aid we have received from our many staff members has made our job much easier and really pleasant. This year, for the first time, the position of business manager was included as an important part of the FORESTER staff. Being constantly besieged with money and records for subscriptions and ads proved to be quite a job and we were glad that Gayle Lundgren and her staff were able to take care of this so well. Working side by side with her have been Karen Glenn and Betty Hawkinson who were in charge of subscriptions and soliciting advertisements. We are es- pecially proud of Sharon Proulx for the artwork she has done on the opening section. Our thank you's could not be complete without expressing special gratitude to the Johnson Photography Studios for provid- ing us with the many candid shots which appear throughout the book. To Mr. Rafferty, our advisor, who has always been right there ready to pull us through the rough spots and share our excitement over another page finished, a sincere thanks. We hope you enjoy your 1961 Golden Anniversary FORESTER as much as we have enjoyed being its editors.
