This book contains many of those seconds, seconds which highlight the activities and gaiety, the troubles and accomplishments of three hundred seventy-five American high school students during a year which opened a new decade, seated another president, watched Castro’s clamor for power, and raucously advanced the Space Age. It was a year which saw the earth become even smaller because of the increasing use of commercial jet airliners. They made it possible to fly from New York to Los Angeles in less time than it took a Buf-ferin to enter the bloodstream. It was a year which saw the earth become lighter as tons of steel were hurled into infinite space in the form of satellites and missiles. It was a year that pointed out to the earth's people that either they live with faith and trust in each other, or they would t live at all. And it was a year that saw fifty-five seniors graduated from a yo.ung bo+ growing high school in the valley. When the satellite Sputnik was successfully launched by the Russians, a new type of international game began: a game that lost a famed diplomatic kibitzer named Dulles, a game in which the United States foresaw its most prosperous year in history though crippled by a I 16-day steel strike, a game which saw the United States and Russia begin a cultural exchange program that dented the Iron Curtain, a game that heard statesmen from many countries cry for peace, a game that saw Russia take pictures of the dark side of the moon simultaneously making faces in the Pentagon turn white, a game that had ferocity, tension, excitement, and color, a game that only brilliant minds could play and win. valley high These were the issues the fifty-five read about, talked about, learned about. Valley High had become a training center,” a preliminary workshop for this game in which some day these Valleyites would be the principal players. Every time a book was read, an experiment conquered, an algebraic equation solved, or a sentence translated, these students were learning the game. But the training wasn't entirely reading, conquering, solving, and translating. It also involved a lighter side of life: acting in a class play, listening to the latest jazz release, savoring a pizza, or displaying the newest fad. Artistry, competition, fashion, and leisure, as well as the conquering and solving experiments of learning, are the expressions highlighted in this book. Therefore, as the world expressed itself in many ways, sometimes with the loud thunderous roar of an ICBM, sometimes with the quiet hand that wrote Dulles' obituary, so did Golden Valley High School express itself in many ways, sometimes with a loud, colorful voice and sometimes with a quiet pen. 4 frames an array of expressions 5 expressions of Enrollment numbered 375 individuals, each intent on reaching some goal, each with an opportunity to express himself, whether in the chemistry lab, on the basketball court, or behind the rostrum. Every student had an opportunity to make use of the 4300 volumes in the school library, to belong to many of the extracurricular organizations, or to benefit from the services of a full-time guidance counsellor, offered for the first time this year. 1959 saw establishment of the first journalism, French I, Spanish III, and German III courses. All classes were small, enabling teachers to devote time to the needs of the individual. Techniques made use of lectures, visual aids, magazines, records, maps, and opaque projectors. Tape recordings of native speakers were used in language courses, and practice on machines of future voca- tions was offered in business classes, home economics, and industrial arts. Students saw the why? by diagraming a sentence, decomposing ammonium carbonate, or dissecting a frog. The average senior managed to take part in three extracurricular activities; many students were active in six or more. These activities took place during a short period before 9 a.m. at the beginning of each day. but few students managed to escape through the solid blue doors at 3:22 in the afternoon, as work on such class and club projects often continued into the night. The school work day consisted of six class hours. In the middle of the schedule one half hour was set aside permitting some 340 student gourmets to savor 75 pounds of ground beef. 30 pounds of bread, 15 pounds of carrots, . . . on a typical day. TOM DAHL, YOU’RE ALL WET! Leonard Langley emphatically remarks during a discussion in the 6th hour Modern Problems class. These discussions never fail to produce mixed emotions from this class of seniors. The two sections are taught by Mrs. Anita Stall and Frank Farrell. 6 learning FOUR HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE!

Small Valley High was a boon for the sports enthusiast. No cliques made students strangers to each other. Players, too. were more than just passing acquaintances. Whatever the outcome of the game, students usually departed in an amiable mood, perhaps attributed to a plurality of pals. The male population participated in competition ranging from debate to track, from football to speed typing. A program was initiated to give youngsters as low as the fourth grade a supervised program of athletic competition. With GAA, music, speech activities, and cheerleading, the feminine population often spent one or two hours on a special project before treading the asphalt homeward. A true competitor must have the desire, a willingness to work hard and to do a job at the height of his ability. In basketball, for instance, the team practiced ten hours a week just to spend an hour and a half on Friday evening looking sharp, capable, and elated—or perhaps disorganized, incapable, and dishearted. But competition wasn't always against a fellow man. In writing articles for the paper or a research theme for English, students competed with themselves to do the best possible job. Competition was expressed at school in many ways. Miss Mary Netzinger coached an eight-man debate squad. Although the first string debaters were mostly blatant upperclassmen, the team also included four freshmen who were learning the rules of ranting and raving from the ground up. To the conference music contests Valley sent 90 choir members, 44 band members, and 25 soloists and ensembles. They competed in the regionals among groups from nine schools, the entrants totaling a whopping 1,325. In summary, however, the most competitive, the most challenging battle of them all, was the struggle to convince the teaching staff of the student's superiority in all details of all phases of everything. 8 expressions of competition DEBATE TAKES CONCENTRATION. Argumentators Mary Giebenhain, Marnie Mallbarg. and Judy Koch listen attentively while Lailia Mitchell explains a new point of their current subject. ONE DOWN. TWO TO GO?

TROMBONISTS John Bockman and Steve Sahly are reaching for seventh position while practicing the climax of Moussorgsky's Great Gate of Kiev. 10 This was the year capacity audiences across the United States thrilled to the music and dance of the Russian and Polish state ballet companies. At Golden Valley this year the Valleyettes, a modern dance group, was formed under the direction of Mrs. Frances Finch, physical education instructor. Mr. William Anderson, Mrs. Bernette Engquist, and Mrs. Finch directed the combined elementary and high schools of the district in a Christmas pageant spectacular, aided by the high school's 44-member band and 90-member choir. This was the year Leonard Langley, after accumulating 32 national awards, was given second place honors in the National Accordion Olympics, the most demanding accordion contest in the United States. As a combined effort the shop boys built a complete. scaled model of a contemporary home designed by Steve Lanak. The home economics girls expressed their creativity through culinary masterpieces and well-set tables. Seven senior girls, including accompanist Mary Johnson, formed a sextet this year. Tri-Tones Joy Andersen, Judie Carlson, Jean Ericson. Mary Fisher, Sandy Greenfield, and Kathy Wilson sang at many school affairs. A junior high group deftly constructed assorted papier mache figures. Screaming students reported one of the reptiles winked, but Mr. David Baker, art director, biting his fingernails, offered no credence to the rumors. An advanced art class project, the colorful mosaic clock on the east wall of the foyer, was constructed with the aid of funds presented by the first graduating class. Art is sometimes a demanding thing, agreed Valley Viewer editors Lowell Gomsrud and Janice Latsha, as they racked their brains while attempting to find the perfect words for headlines in the six issues published this year. Senior Karen Johnston has been practicing artistry on ice for the past nine years, winning several medals in contests and skating in annual shows. Drama is art. A successfully interpreted play, such as the tale of the Ten Little Indians, may leave the viewer with just as vivid an impression as received from a painting by Picasso, who this year began work on an illustration of biblical history to be unveiled in 1962. Golden Valley flourished with artistry, from the basic structure of the school and its curriculum to the cry of a cat at the Beatnik Dance. Move over on the bongos, man, I gotta express myself. IN A PENSIVE MOOD, Ari I student Sharon Kulen-kamp sketches a Valley landscape from a point west of the high school. Subdued, muted, hazy, murky, or just plain dirty green was the color of the year. The gentlemen of I960 preferred wool slacks with a bulky sweater and print, paisley, or oxford shirt. Mademoiselle's skirts were somewhat shorter, or, depending on how you look at it, legs were longer. Shoe-boots, reminiscent of Robin Hood’s footwear. were favorite among the ladies. The wide tops, however, made them somewhat uncomfortable on rainy days. All shoes featured the pointed-toe look, dangerous in crowded halls. A G.V. girl was seen with her hair pixie-style one day and in a long shimmering pony tail the next. How so? Hair wigs. A G.V. male was protected from the elements in a car coat, suburban coat, hero jacket, or trench coat topped off by a Tyrolean-style hat. complete with brush and ski medals. For the girls, raccoon coats were revived from the twenties. Six seniors wore contact lenses. Sometimes the illusive plastic wonders would pop out and frantic was the search for the wearer’s eyes. This year also saw squash heels, continental suits, box pleated skirts, French rolls, tier blouses, blazers, crew-necks, boat-necks, shawl collars, vests, and chinos. Bustle sales were definitely down for the year, as was the sale of three-cornered hats. 12 CARS AND COATS REFLECT THE TRENDS OF 60 as Pat Johnson. in a raCcoon collarad coat, and Peta Prestegaard, in a trench coat, climb into a compact Valiant.

At 3:22 key-chain wielding students dashed to the parking lot and fired up their engines, the sound testifying the rage of the day was dual exhausts. America's chrome dragons were being replaced by the compacts. Corvair, Falcon. Lark, Valiant, and Rambler. Hobbies varied from Tom Dahl's flying lessons to ham radio operation by Keith Smith, Bob Hanson. and Neal Greenberg. Friday evening, following the game, there was usually a crowd of Valleyites at McDonald's, home of the 15-cent hamburger. Rock 'n' Roll, with Fabian the king, was still the favorite in dance music. For listening. Belafonte’s calypso and progressive jazz were popular. Carnegie Hall resounded with the Caribbean beat of Matilda. and Minneapolitans packed the auditorium to see the Kingston Trio give its second concert of folk music here. Twenty-four seniors owned stereos. Doubling was the fashion in dating. $4.50 the average date cost. After a show or dance, Valleyites visited Beek’s. the Pizza Cellar, or the Cafe Espresso for pizza. Valley seniors named A Summer Place their favorite movie, and teenagers Sandra Dee and Troy Donahue top stars. When some TV quiz shows were found to be fraudulent, the sophisticated western, designed to be watched by adults, really kids at heart, became the rage. Valleyites chuckled over plans of pokerplaying Maverick brothers on Sunday and stayed up late to watch the unrehearsed Jack Parr Show. expressions of leisure LEISURE DOESN’T START WHEN THE FINAL SCHOOL BELL RINGS!

Both find' time to advise student . and John Beckman by encouraged by administrators According to Superintendent Lucille Rosenow, Recognizing and developing the potential individuality of every student is the standard we wish to achieve in education at Golden Valley. An understanding teacher-student relationship is a major factor in the effectiveness of any school program: As we grow and mature, we believe this will be happening to an ever-increasing degree. Miss Rosenow was honored in October. 1959, by the Minnesota Education Association for her services to the elementary school principals and presented with a plaque. She was also awarded an honorary life membership in the National Department of Elementary School Principals by the Twin City Elementary Principals and Supervisors Association at the Knights and Ladies of the Hickory Stick Banquet. Along with his regular duties as principal. Dewey Breisch attended a one-week convention of the National Association of Secondary School principals in Portland. Oregon, and a one-week workshop of Minnesota principals in Bemidji. He was elected secretary-treasurer of the Minnesota Valley Conference. an organization of administrators and department heads in the Valley Conference, and is a member of the local Optimist Club. There wasn't a student who didn’t have an opportunity to confer with Frank Farrell. Valley's first guidance counsellor. In fact, a few had fifteen interviews which may have lasted from fifteen min- utes to three hours. In determining aptitude, ability, and interest he administered tests including the Lorge-Thorndike Intelligence Test, Differential Aptitude Test, ninth grade Co-operative Battery Test, sophomore Iowa Educational Development Test, and the senior Iowa Test, in addition to individual IQ tests. Under the direction of Leland Gillogly. president, members of the Golden Valley Educational Association continued promoting quality education. gathering for seven meetings in their third year. Distinguished reporter, lecturer, and Golden Valley resident Carl Rowan spoke to the Association on Is Our American Family Decaying?’ Fostering Healthy Student-Teacher-Parent Relationship and foreign study were discussed at other meetings. Although Valley teachers are frantically busy during the school day. there was always occasion to advise and give time to extra-curricular school functions. Leisure time for instructors, however, is limited, though Miss Mary Netzinger found time to bowl a line between correcting tests and devising lesson plans for senior English. Bob Lockwood allowed no indecision behind the plate as umpire for the Valley Little League. Mrs. Armi Nelson planted her garden. Mrs. Ella Lindberg practiced the piano and Tom Benepe shot 69 on the golf links. Mr. Gillogly spent his summer vacation as Deputy Assessor for the Village of Golden Valley.

It takes a mountain of food to satisfy 375 appetites daily. In order to master the menu and meet the time schedule, three cooks use a giant 20-gallon mixer, a 200-pound capacity steam table, two monstrous stoves, a 38 by 54 inch oven, and an electric potato peeler, whicn en-. ables two people to peel and eye potatoes for one GV meal in two hours. After handing out tardy passes to students every day for three years ana supervising lunch ticket sales, Mrs. Esther Berglund. secretary to Mr. Breisch, left GV for a secretarial position at Orono high school. Sharing these official duties is Miss Rose-now’s secretary, Mrs. Margaret Sperry, who also handles school financial accounting. WE KNEW YOU WERE COMING so we baited a cake. Mrs. Dorothy Elmquist, Mrs. Florence Hauschildt, and Mrs. Hazel Dawson, cooks, use the 20-gallon mixer in making one of this year's 160 school lunches. Cooking one lunch for nearly 400 people means beginning meal preparations at 7:30 a.m., before students arrive for school. 27 It all began back in 1942. Thirty bouncing baby boys and twenty-five irresistible girls were born completely unaware and uninterested in the fact that in seventeen short years they would be together as a senior class plunging through that last year. It wasn't so long ago that they bundled up and marched off for kindergarten at Lafayette and Bryn Mawr. Then they frolicked back to Golden Valley's Meadowbrook Elementary School. These were the gay and giddy years of Are you on the girls' side or the boys'? I'm gonna report you to the principal! and Tommy's got a girl friend! Those superior years of the 7th and 8th grades included the first dance for which they spent a whole week’s class time preparing: learning how to dance; the hot campaigns for student council offices, which displayed banners like Stay under the lofty Elm, (Jim Elmquist): and the sober graduation ceremony when all the girls cried. Then off they plowed to Minneapolis’ Jefferson Junior High, where they enjoyed a year of education in a slightly different atmosphere. But the bell rang back in the new Golden Valley High School.

Impromptu pantomimes were part of Speech II activities. privileges mark senior role BOB HANSON AND MITCH RAND are probably considering going back to 8th grade math as they tediously figure out a problem the easy way. How are seniors different? First, seniors must set good examples as leaders in the classroom and activity areas and establish good social standards for underclassmen to follow. The seniors initiate school spirit, extra-curricular participation and general interest in school and school work. As a reward for their endeavors, special honors and events are set aside to go exclusively with the role of being seniors. To the seniors go most of the high positions on publication staffs and academic clubs. They are honored annually by underclassmen at the spring prom, and to them goes the coveted privilege of going first in the lunch line. Being different is once again an advantage as the entire senior class enjoys a day away from the rigors of classes, homework, and school activities. This special day is usually celebrated with a picnic by a peaceful lake followed by a rip-it-up class party. Professional portraits, usually involving many retakes and appointments at the beauty salon are posed to show the seniors at their dignified best. But the climax of being seniors comes on graduation night when they are spotlighted and honored both as individuals and as a group. The last mark of difference leaves the halls of Golden Valley quiet. They lack the familiar hum of these busy people, when, at the year's end, seniors are excused a week earlier than the underclassmen. 31 What constitutes the frosting of the educational cake? The after school activities: the combined effort of faculty and student body working toward goals such as winning athletic squads, top-rate publications, an enriching musical program, and rewarding academic clubs. This year seniors, underclassmen, and advisers have spent countless hours burning the night lights to meet deadlines. Some of the main time consumers were the senior class play, putting the Valley Viewer to bed.” and getting Viking sections to the publisher on time. It was not uncommon to find students at school as late as midnight. Eighty per cent of the senior boys participated in football, basketball, baseball, wrestling, or track. For the girls there was fencing, bowling, tennis, badminton, or swimming. Golden Valley was fortunate to be host to the 500 choir members of the Valley Conference schools for the annual choir contest on April 6. Debate and forensics took speakers to Duluth. St. Paul, Hopkins, and Bloomington. The seniors decided early in January to sponsor a carnival to foot the expenses of their Chicaqo trip. The beforehand preparations included : building 13 booths, paintinq 20-yard banners, selling tickets, and solicitinq prize donations. It was these long hours and hard work that made the 1959-60 year an especially busy, exciting, productive. and happy one for the seniors. seniors toil as night KAREN JOHNSTON inform Denny Miller, You too can be a potter painter!

Most college-bound seniors sent applications to two or three schools. make college plans Decisions faced the 55 who were graduated. What to do? Seniors knew long hours of study, training, and work lay ahead of them as they passed through the school doors for the last time. Work? Military service? Business or technical school? College, and if so. large og small? And what courses to take? Over 80 per cent of the seniors planned to continue their education in a college, trade school, or other institution of learning. Twenty-three of the 55 directed their steps toward advanced education at the University of Minnesota. Another 9 of the college-bound favored small schools. The seniors spent some of their valuable time frowning over college boards, civil service, and ACT college entrance tests, and laboriously filling out application blanks. College majors were a headache. I guess I'll decide my major after I've been there awhile.'1 For many, military service would have to wait. For others. Maybe I II join ROTC when I get to college. And still others, said The service is a valuable opportunity for learning.'' 35 It was the night for corncobs, hay bales, and pun -kins: it was the night the girls turned the tables on the boys: it was the night the seniors brought Dog-patch to Golden Valley. More than 100 students danced to the music of Elvis Presley, Bill Haley, and Johnny Mathis from 8 to I 1:30 p.m. on November 6. Between dances they drank pop and ate various kinds of cookies made by the senior girls. Tom Dahl, chosen by the class to act the role of Marryin' Sam. was kept busy all evening and brought nearly 100 per cent of the Dogpatch couples to the altar. The winners of the prize for the best costume were decided by means of a clapping vote after the judges. Tom Benepe and Frank Farrell, selected six couples to compete. A two-way corncob pipe was awarded to Sheriff Bouley. Jan Bouley, and Bummy, Denny Miller. The close of the dance found seniors carrying the pumpkins, hay bales, and empty pop bottles to their proper places. All was cleaned in twenty minutes, and Dogpatch County vanished until time for its reappearance next year. C'MON. MITCH, ASK HER. She wont bit !

Why do I work? I need the money, that's why! Many a senior spent after school hours and weekend days to raise money to be used for dates, clothes, cars, and college. Of the 55 seniors. 27 held part-time jobs as nurses' aides, filling-station attendants, secretaries, clerks, and salesmen. Money, however, was not always the main reason for seeking employment. Boredom, need for experience, and pure pleasure were other reasons. To the question, Doesn't working interfere with schoolwork and activities? most students answered an emphatic No! The average week totaled between 15 and 25 after-school and week-end hours, and left plenty of time for homework. Working did not seem to interfere with activities, although activities did seem to interfere with working! With many seniors, automobiles were a big expense. Fifteen seniors owned cars and many more had frequent use of the family car. Another big expense for the boys was trying to scrape up enough money for week-end dates. As one senior boy exclaimed, Even my car doesn't cost as much as this dating business! college, clothes, and cars EIGHT OF THE FELLAS crowd around Joey George's car after school. Tom Dahl, Pete Schroth. Jim Denneson, Jim Elmquist, and Boyd Lester circumambulate the Chev, which is typical of the transportation seniors own and drive. 39 A wealth of time consuming projects, assigned by the faculty, was undertaken by the seniors. The Science Fair, supervised by Walton Welna, kept senior physics students busy winding wires and drawing diagrams. Early spring was a busy time for the seniors, for most scholastic orojects were assigned then. Miss Mary Netzinger, senior English instructor, al-loted her students six seemingly short weeks for the research and completion of their term papers. In journalism class Mrs. Jo Ann Herring assigned her students a critical analysis of an outstanding metropolitan newspaper. This involved the readinq of seven issues of a daily paper, as the New York Times, and reviewing its writing and typography styles. The final quarter also found bookkeeping students setting up complete books for an imaginary company, and the continuous hum of sewing machines signified that the senior girls were busy working on their garments. With the long hours required by these projects, staying up late became quite the fad. WHERE'S THAT SANDWICH?

There is a strong association between the words money and May. Perhaps it's because the girls get that old prom feeling about that time. The big splurge comes one unexpected day when Betty trips merrily to town with big dreams of pink lace and white ermine. Shop after shop is turned inside out, discussion of color, style, and price becomes dismal; prospects fade. Discouraged. Betty stumbles home with nothing but a pair of aching feet. It takes her two weeks to finally find the perfect dress. But this is only the beginning! Gloves, heels, tinted nylons, jewelry, and an evening bag play an important part in this ensemble. She's just about set for a wonderful evening . . . now to find a date! Good old Betty can sure turn on the charm when there's $55 at stake! It isn’t long before that bashful, blubbering, baseball water-boy blurts out his invitation, and Betty accepts. Who cares what he looks like? He drives a Cadillac convert! The big day arrives, and bashful Billy is about to pick her up. Let's see—got a haircut, washed the car, found a lovely corsage (always did like snapdragons), rented a tux, got money for dinner afterwards. Oops! Forgot to brush his teeth! All the way over to pick her up. Bill keeps wondering if she's worth the $40 he's spending on her. Oh well, it’s dad’s money anyway. She comes to the door after being recreated at the hairdresser's, another $6. He swallows hard, takes her hand, and leads her to the waiting carriage. He is the prince, she is Cinderella, and they're off to the ball. 43 $1800 was blown by the seniors in just three days when they climaxed the year with a trip to Chicago. Throughout the year they worked toward this goal. The Sadie Hawkins Dance provided them with $44.25. to give the treasury its first boost. Decorations in the Dogpatch motif were available at low cost, so expenses were low. For the nominal sum of 25 cents Dogpatch couples could be married— until 12 o'clock at least. More wampum, to the beat of $187.66 beads, was brought in by Ten Little Indians,’ favorite braves of the senior class. Chiefs tickets for the class play could be had for a dollar and tickets for papooses were available at fifty cents. As a service to the school, Carole of the Bells'' was sponsored by the seniors. The Christmas dance netted $9.58. The big money-maker of the year was the spring carnival, which brought in over $1500 and provided a full day of fun for youngsters, oldsters, and seniors. too.

The annual magazine sale held priority on the money-malcing projects. Held in October, it grossed about $350. The first homecoming for Golden Valley students and alumni was sponsored October 8, 1959, by the junior class. Establishing a tradition at Valley required long hours devoted to preparation for this event. Pennants and homecoming buttons were sold, the cafetorium was lavishly decorated in thrown and gold, a live band was hired, and a formal coronation planned. Football games found the class frantically dispensing popcorn, pop. and candy to the hungry crowd to add to the till. January Thaw. a comedy directed by Mrs. Jo Ann Herring, was presented by the junior class on April 5. I960. Total amount derived from the production was $175, enough to complete the prom treasury and give the class a sufficient start for the coming senior year. The biggest event of the year was the thousand-dollar junior-senior prom, Lilac Rhapsody, held on Friday, the 13th of May. The efforts of the entire class brought an old southern atmosphere to the Wayzata Country Club, predominately carried out with lilacs. Dinner was served and dancing began at 8:30 to the mood music of William Peterson's band.

These are remarks heard often in typical sophomore biology and geometry classes. Rare is the dissecting day without a few screams from the biology room. Bob Lockwood's appropriate cartoon sketches on the Friday quizzes highlight geometry class. The sophomore class of 1959-60 sponsored its first dance. Cupid's Capers. on February II. To highlight the evening. Cupid's Couple and the King and Queen of Hearts were chosen. With a profit of $23, this venture proved a successful one. They had a toboggan party at Theodore Wirth Park in early January. Attended by approximately forty people, the party was chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Bob Lockwood and Mr. and Mrs. James Herring. They took a bus from the school, toboggans and all, over to the snowy Wirth slopes. Everybody seemed to have the time of his life, including the chaperons. After the tobogganing, all returned to school for hot cocoa and informal dancing. The third activity of the class, sponsoring four concession stands during the basketball season, proved worthwhile, with a profit of $84.05. These projects, together with the dues of the class members, helped the. sophomores prepare for next year, when their major concern becomes the annual spring prom. Clinton Ewald .

This ambitious class has saved $275 for future use. To help organize their money-malcing activities they had the willing and strong assistance of their thrifty advisers, Mrs. Armi Nelson and Clark Kaplan, as well as the able leadership of their class officers. Two bake sales were among these activities. Woven around the last victorious basketball game were a freshman-sponsored pep fest and sock hop. All work and no play would certainly make a class dull, so they conducted a Beatnik Party to express their inner spirits. Later, they had a normal party to please their normal classmates. The members of the freshman class also believe in working toward hiqh academic goals. Three of their members, Leslie Mitchell. Marnie Mellberg, and Judy Koch, received red ribbons signifying honorable mention at the Regional Science Fair.

Under the leadership of its class officers and advisers, Mrs. Lorna Erdahl and David Baker, the class undertook many activities. The magazine drive was the only money-making project of the year. The students earned a total of $135.38, which completed the drive and even exceeded the sales of the junior class. The students found Operation Skywatch to be the most outstanding activity of the year. The members of Tom Benepe's science class watched the stars at four in the morning, after which they breakfasted at Peter Myhre's house. The class party and the visit to the Grain Exchange by Mrs. Ella Lindberg's math class helped pave the way for future activities of the class.

Locker combinations and split levels proved confusing to the newcomers. Advisers, Mrs. Ella Lind-berg, Clyde Rust, and Gerald Peterson acquainted the students with the hectic schedule of hiqh school life. The beginning of junior high also meant the commencement of participation in extra-curricular activities. The pep fests were special favorites. The first class party of the year was entitled Winter Wonderland.” Seasonal icicles, snowflakes, and dancing snowmen decorated the walls of the cafetorium. An instrumental solo and pantomime acts, performed by members of the class of ’65, supplemented the evening’s activities. Pop and potato chips were enjoyed by all the hungry attendants. The evening's profit of $21.15 will be saved for the junior and senior years.

Rainy weather didn't seem to dampen too many spirits, however, at the other junior-sponsored festivities on October 2. Highlight of Valley High’s first homecoming dance was the crowning of Queen Barbara Hauge and King Dick Ross by Carol Walters and Tom Leach, alumni officers of 1959. M.C. Leonard Langley opened the coronation ceremonies by imperial decree, calling forth the members of the royal family’s court. Homecoming candidates were nominated by the football team and choir; and winners were elected by senior high students. A cardboard Viking head dominated one wail of the brown-and-gold decorated cafetorium to form a backdrop for the 130 students and alumni who attended the dance. Hal Garven's band satisfied requests from the crowd for college rousers. Chairman Wade Turner reported sale of buttons and pennants and dance profits boosted the prom fund to $ 163. 68 seniors sponsor shindig UNDER THE SCRUTINIZING EYE of Dr. Gordon Lester.

Of course there's bound to be friction when the old couple (Doug McNeil and Marilyn Smith) refuse to accept modern inconveniences and Mr. and Mrs. Gage (Wade Turner and Kathy Felt) just as staunchly refuse to change their modern way of life. The juniors found that this situation produced many laughs when they presented the comedy, January Thaw, under the direction of Mrs. Jo Ann Herring and student director, Jan Latsha on April 5. The production netted $150 for the junior class. As the play progressed and incidents mounted, it looked like complete disaster. However, in the ending all is happily solved as both families thaw.

Feathery plastic snow, as it sifted around a tall street lamp, and choir and band members garbed in wool scarves helped change the high school gymnasium into a Winter Wonderland. The Christmas pageant, presented by the grade and high schools on December 10. was viewed by over 1000 spectators. Fifth and sixth graders, led by Mrs. Bernette Engquist. sang two-and three-part music from the Story of Silent Night. Mr. William Anderson, band and choir director, then led his carolers and musicians in favorite Christmas carols. As the musicians performed, the spotlight followed seventh through tenth grade girls, under the direction of Mrs. Frances Finch, as they interpreted the music. Seventh grade girls glided to Skater's Waltz. The eighth grade girls, disguised as reindeer, accompanied the band and choir in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Freshman and sophomore girls danced to Silver Bells and Winter Wonderland. Blue and silver bells sparkled in the high school cafetorium December 12, as sixty couples danced to the music of Darrel Nicholson's five-piece band at Carole of the Bells. The annual semi-formal dance, sponsored by the senior class as a service project, profited $13.50. Senior girls spent the night before over a hot stove preparing holiday sandwiches for the ball. Lime sherbet punch added a touch of seasonal gaiety to the refreshments. A giant replica of his sleigh and eight tiny reindeer driven by a iovial Saint Nick was the dominant feature of the holiday atmosphere. Intermission entertainment was provided by the Tri-Tones. pageant witnessed by 1000 RIVALS OF RUDOLPH. Nancy Lindberg, Betty Frederickson, Janet Boschee. Kathy Mikucki.

The date, Friday the 13th, brought no bad luck, but no lilacs either. Due to an unusually cool Minnesota spring, the flowers had to be flown in from Chicago to interpret the Lilac Rhapsody theme. The Wayzata Country Club set the scene for the $1200 junior-senior affair. The entire clubhouse was rented, permitting guests to roam the grounds and course, if they pleased, or to relax on a large veranda overlooking the swimming pool. Following a buffet dinner of game-hen and strawberry shortcake, the grand march began, led by prom chairman, Wade Turner, and class officers, and followed by eager camera-laden parents. The march circled tne swimming pool and returned to the main ballroom as Willie Peterson's band switched from the Minnesota Rouser to Blue Moon. After trading dinner jackets and formats for ber-mudas. sunglasses, and a quick three hour's sleep, prom-goers headed for Taylor's Falls to spend a sunny day mountain climbing, sunbathing, and . . . perhaps, sleeping.

Farewell to slamming locker doors, laughing halls, and lunch line rights; all these were a part of senior adieus on June 8. After the final fling for the class of 60, graduation, and the three day fun-time following, few could comprehend an actual end to their dozen years of public school training. In their new mink-colored robes pinned with yellow roses, graduates added an air of urgency to the hesitation step. At the first commencement to be held in the gym, the guests heard Dr. Elmer R. Kane speak on The Challenge of Living Successfully in an Uncertain Future. The reception afterward was presented by the sophomores in a tastefully decorated cafetorium. Many seniors didn't have a chance to attend because the 10:45 train wouldn't wait. A special coach, bingo, all-night parties, a night boat rjde, no sleep, dinner at The Berghoff, a Can-Can performance, less sleep, Don McNeil's Breakfast Club, water-throwing escapades at 4 a.m., utter exhaustion, and a horn-honking welcome home were all part of the longest, yet shortest three days in the class history. The class motto is— Better to strive and climb And never reach the goal, Than to drift along with time An aimless, worthless soul. GRADUATION IS A BITTER-SWEET OCCASION.

According to Coach Tom Benepe, The 1959 football schedule at Golden Valley provided a maximum test each week for a young and inexperienced team. The team had only three regulars returning from last year, Jim Elmquist, Pete Schroth, and Pete Prestegaard. The squad usually started their games with six underclassmen. In most of the games, the Vikings got off to a bad start and were behind by the end of the first half. However, there was one exception to the rule: Against Eden Prairie, the squad struck pay dirt on the first play from scrimmage. It came on a reverse pass from Boyd Lester to Pete Schroth. But the Eagles came back for a 24 to 6 victory. This was the . closest the team came to a win during the season. This year Golden Valley competed for the first time on its own football field. Unfortunately the four games played there still proved to be an uphill grind, both figuratively and literally. The cavity at the west end, in spite of a repair attempt, remained about 3 feet below the rest of the field. Primarily using a single-wing offense, the Valley gridders had trouble mounting an attack. After scoring two touchdowns in the opening game, the team didn't score more than one in any later game.

Sparking crowd enthusiasm for the Viking teams was a job energetically undertaken by four seniors and two juniors, who served as cheerleaders for 1959-60. White sweaters and megaphone necklaces were purchased by the girls to compliment the brown culottes provided by the school. This served as the football ensemble. As basketball season arrived, the girls decided on the traditional brown weskit and pleated skirt with gold tennis shoes for sparkle.

The varsity shot into second place as a result of the quintet of conference wins, but the stay was shortlived. Six consecutive losses occurred before the Chaska triumph in the league final. This netted a 7-9 record which gave the Vilcings fifth place. Included in the seven wins was a thrilling 32 to 30 • game with Orono, won by Christ Kontenakos' 30-foot jump-shot with twelve seconds remaining. Capping the winning streak was a scintillating 54 to 53 win over U-High with Marvin Socher ringing up 27 points. Marvin and Jim Elmquist were the team’s most valuable players. Coach Jim Kimble's championship B-Squad emerged from the season's fracas leading the pack with a 14 win and 2 loss record. They began the season with an overtime loss to U-High and then ran up an eight-game winning streak, moving into first place. One game later, however, the B-Vikings were back in second, caused by a loss to Eden Prairie. From there they went to the last game of the season taking all comers and needing only to beat Chaska to cinch the title. This they did nicely, tying the season up with a brassy bow, winning 36 to 3 I in a thrilling overtime.

Unfortunately, Mr. Breisch was kept out of the race because of five fouls in the first quarter.

A .155 team batting average, and a .583 fielding average, plus a total of sixty men left on bases, added up to a second division finish for Coach Bob Lockwood's nine. Hitting was the principal sore spot. The pitching of Rick Carlson, Marv Socher. and Skip Hall showed great improvement over last year and Marv was elected to the All-Conference team. Although the Vikings had an average of four errors per game, the year's total decreased by one-third from last season's. Persistent demands of Viking matmen brought about the formation of a wrestling team this year, although early season plans had omitted the sport from the schedule. Credit goes to Principal Dewey Breisch, who accepted the coaching position and Assistant Coach Joe Pazandak, local professional wrestler. Highlights of the season were two victories over Southwest, and the advancing of senior Jerry Brademan and junior Bill Kuhlmann into the second round of the district matches.

Cathie Rnch, secretary-treasurer, and Barb Haugo, president, practice a lunge, one of fencing's fundamentals. Fencing on Tuesday, bowling on Wednesday, basketball on Friday, and a little horseback riding, tennis, and golf in between satisfied varied GAA athletic appetites. Golf in two easy lessons was the last spring activity. Instructor Jerry Holewa consented to teach basic fundamentals and correct techniques in the abbreviated sessions. Under the supervision of Mrs. Anne Murray the cafetorium echoed with a now-familiar En guarde and an occasional “Touche’ in retort each Tuesday. Tentative plans are to make the sport competitive in the 1960-61 school year. Barb Hauge and Janet Gulstrand of the Lane Brains topped the five-team league at the Golden Valley Lanes. Ding’s Riding Ranch hosted the spring riding sessions. Arrangements were made each time by Dana Steiner. Adviser Mrs. Frances Finch was assisted in organizational duties by student officers: Barb Hauge. president; Elaine Hart, vice-president, and Cathie Finch, secretary-treasurer. 90 fry finishes fun for fellas A barbecued chicken fry at Roger Quist's lake home, concocted as a going away gift to seniors (by seniors), concluded the year’s activities for the Lettermen's Club.

The Workshop, organized last year, proved an asset in the promotion of co-ordination between councils in the Valley Conference in assisting new councils with organizational problems. Six schools were represented by approximately sixty students. Because of a seemingly over-crowded activity period, the council took upon itself the scheduling of club activities for the next year. Its first step was the formal establishment of the clubs, requiring each organization to write and submit to the council a charter and constitution. Members had numerous opportunities to attend state clinics and meetings. Invitations were accepted in November to the Minnesota Association of Student Councils Convention at Vocational High School and the Minnesota Valley Conference Student Council. In the council-sponsored No-Acs' driving award program, eighteen of twenty-seven entrants re ceived awards from the Minnesota Safety Council for safe driving.

Midnight watches, last-minute editing, and desperate attempts to cut copy proved worthwhile when the Valley Viewer was entered in the National Scholastic Press Association critical rating service competition and received a first class rating. Early in September, the journalism class delved into the mountain of work to be done. Before the first dummy could be laid out, advertising had to be sold. Working in pairs, the first journalism class salesmen sold ad space totaling $885. Stories, which were assigned by the page editors, were usually written by journalism students. Upon completion they were submitted to page editors and their assistants, who placed them on the dummies. Meanwhile, pictures had been planned and snapped and they, too, were placed on these layout plans. If all went well, the paper then went to press. Sale of Christmas ads netted $93 toward purchase of Santa Anonymous toys for neec children. Students purchased space and extended both silly and serious greetings in print. Stories were entered in state competition April 18. Lowell Gomsrud, Keith Smith, Peter Schroth. and Lane Reynolds received honorable mention, while Beth Schwartz placed among the top three ratings in the straight news story division. High school correspondent to the Minneapolis Star and Tribune was Valley Viewer editor Lowell Gomsrud. who kept the Tribune posted on student activities. Without spring vacation and senior week, heads of staff would have missed deadlines for the people and 'special events sections and therefore would have found it necessary to include an unusually generous and curiously placed autograph section. Lost dummies. misplaced photographic wheels, and competition with research papers and carnivalworking seniors at deadline hours lent an additional accent to Viking struggles. Facts on favorite foods, fads, and fun were discovered in a comprehensive senior survey, determining the pulse of the expression of '60. This information was woven into the introductory section. Advertising reduced the actual $6.84 cost per volume to the.$4.50 selling price for three hundred subscribers. A two-day press conference at the University of Minnesota and a one-day session at Augsburg College gave staffers the opportunity to learn professional techniques first hand. National Scholastic Press star awards were presented to co-editors Jean Ericson and Pete Preste-gaard at the annual award assembly; underclassmen Gail Skyberg and Margie Homes were given cub awards for outstanding service.

The challenge of inter-region and interstate tournaments sparked the enthusiasm of the debate squad which racked up a 14 win, 16 loss record for the season. The three seniors and one junior traveled twice to Duluth and Hopkins, and to St. Paul. With a record of victory in five of their six debates in competition with nearly sixty schools, the varsity debaters walked off with fifth place, receiving honorable mention at Hamline. Thirty-six stuffed Der Goldene Vereiners rolled contentedly into Golden Valley after a three-hour lunch of weiner schnitzel, sauerbraten. and hasenp-feffer at the Heidelburg Restaurant, concluding one of their numerous activities. Later in the year, joining five hundred other Korobushka dancers at the Robbinsdale folk dancing festival, the German Club learned polkas and German songs. As a result, several students met every week to continue dancina. Club members were easily identified on meeting days, as they were required to wear suspenders with their Deutsch costumes.

Linda O'Dell brought in $9 for the Red Cross coffers from Fred Bills, and the eight buyers of Barbara Hauge paid $8 for her services. Sharon Kulenkamp served as March fund drive chairman. Among other fun and fund raising activities sponsored by the Junior and Senior Red Cross was sending an afghan and correspondence album to Ireland, sharing school and town experiences with students overseas. The album included pictures of Minnesota scenery, the Southdale shopping center, and school and town sports. A school chest, constructed by the senior boys and painted by the eighth grade class, sent necessary supplies to twenty-four students overseas. Officers Judie Carlson, president: Mary Fisher, vice-president: Karen Johnston, secretary: and Steve Dahl, treasurer, attended city center meetings to work with other students. Golden Valley Red Cross members gained experience in service. This year's chapter was also concerned with strengthening the organization's foundation and student body enthusiasm for future years.

It is to these people we owe our gratitude:—Bill Pletsch, who took photographs of each of our activities at no cost; to Dan Gleason and Taylor Publishing Company for the extra privileges they have extended to us: to David Baker, who designed our contemporary cover: to those non-staff GV students who havo stayed till morning proofreading the last stack of layouts. Our deepest gratitude goes to our adviser. Mrs. Armi Nelson, who has done much more than her title requires. Jean and Pete 128 TAYLOR PUBLISHING COMPANY ' X r' f v
