Seventy-five years ago on December 16, 1886, an election was held to incorporate a small portion of the western outskirts of Minneapolis info the Village of Golden Valley. In the History of Hennepin County (1895), Golden Valley was called a paradise for dairymen. Just after the turn of the century, a dairyman bought 950 acres of land in the Valley which today includes Theodore Wirth Golf Course. This man, Christ Ewald, left a growing firm plus several generations of sons to carry on the family name. Three great-grandsons give Golden Valley High School a living image of this history and keep the school well supplied with milk. As part of the international cultural exchange program, the Twin City area hosted one performance of the Russian Ukrainian ballet troupe. Golden Valley High School began its own cultural exchange with Russia through the visit of Boris Yusov, Moscow art instructor. After studying state government in 9th grade civics classes, Sandra Carlson wrote Governor Anderson asking for more information for a project. The reply took the form of a personal interview with the Governor. And so the school and the community became more closely related, the products of the school eventually becoming the lifeblood of the community. 1C ONLY mo CLOSED 4-4-4 Gnodub QijSt im tfr b BinpftcHjPji Uv .UMSOtOu’S FUst fiAlidh Gckool; D XMbni dcjAq Will I nXft fei AQAPIABLBWUEi' EDuamoMat PROVING- GROUND FOOD FOR THOUGHT—Principal Dewey Breisch and Chrissy Peterson reward Morgan Nelson at an honor roll Ice-Cream Social after grade reports.

Passed by village voters in 1961 and following groundbreaking ceremonies in August, 1962, Golden Valley's Middle School is scheduled for completion by September, 1963. Employing a 4-4-4 grade plan, the Middle School would adopt grades 5 and 6 from Meadow-brook and 7 and 8 from the high school. Prime subscriber and defender of the We're small, but ... society of schools. Golden Valley for the first time boasted an achievement few schools, comparable in population, can claim: four valedictorians. The quartet, Tom Ylvisaker, Gail Skyberg, Margie Hoines, and Anne Knickerbocker, has maintained consistent 4.0 grade averages. Holding the fifth place in her class with a 3.8 average, Christine Peterson staked claim on saluta-torian honors. As specialization has come to other white collar fields, departmentalization will be initiated at Golden Valley in the '62-'63 school season. Department heads, Roman Borgerding, English; Tom Benepe, social science; and Bob Lockwood, mathematics, constitute a beginning for future specialized staffs. The trio is intended to be a triple tonic to reorganize some of Valley's departmental areas, to keep instructors informed in their respective fields, and to attempt to keep Valley abreast with advancement in education. 7 Ghtuiij, Ckofyohto D CHmiM rib '€ ] -'62 Scena FOOD, RfflDS FURNISH FUN For weeks Mill City residents were not quite sure of what was happening throughout the world, as employees went on strike at Minneapolis Star and Tribune for the first time in history. News-hungry citizens had only to look about, however, to see that the world was not standing still. Construction crews were tearing down the eyesores of lower Minneapolis and, sometimes, a local monument, as in the case of the Metropolitan Building. 1961-62 was the year Jack Paar went off the air, Ernest Hem- ingway's life ended, and liquid diets became the answer to excess eating. Indonesia moved closer to Golden Valley when exchange student Go Sien Nio added Oriental spice to GV. With wigs as coiffures, the feminine fashion-conscious looked to Rome and saw the Cleopatra trends, but the masculine set looked in the mirror and saw only familiar patterns. Weather-wise, the unusually cold Minneapolis temperatures didn't hamper the record-breaking 88 inches of snow dumped throughout the state. Steele, Jean Gulstrand, and Jean Thomas had a choice of seven flavors. Chocolate chip was the biggest seller. FOUR SUPPORTERS of the Student Council ice cream machine congregate on the foyer heater. Suzy Crowder, Anne 8 TEEN BOARD TREND TIPPERS, Linda O'Dell, Powers; Leslie Korsh, Dayton's; Christine Peterson, Donaldson's,- and Cathie Finch, Harolds, display costumes that please high school consumers. RELAXING in a senior seminar, Steve Woehrle, Bill Morris, Wayne Meinzer, Ronald Wolff, and Donald Swanstrom mix the conversation with car and date trivia, as well as issues of world importance. 9 VALLEY captures the Cleopatra craze when Leslie Korsh applies exotic eye strokes, jewels, and raven wig. 10 Millions of Americans, with annual periodicity, drop their brooms and brief cases to celebrate a holiday. In like manner, youthful GV spirits are given a chance to depart from daily routine by events like Sadie Hawkins and the Prom. John Glenn's space flight probably had a greater impact than any other event of the year. Thousands watched the historic trip in New York's Grand Central Station; Valley teachers discarded lesson plans to join their pupils before the idiot boxes. Requiring the energy, if not the precision, of a rocket takeoff were the contortions and cavort-ings of the Twist. The 88 inches of precipitation that fell caused many a sagging roof, and impassable driveway, but juniors made use of it as a class play advertisement—a gargantuan snowman. As White House audiences harkened to sweet strains of cellist Pablo Casals and lithe movements of a modern dance group, GV was visited by a Rodgers and Hammerstein Quartet.

There are also events which only the individual remembers— the receiving of a first athletic award or a quiet tiptoe to the kitchen to put the first withering gardenia corsage in the icebox. These events will still be special when trips to the moon are commonplace. HER FIRST CORSAGE—Demure Cheryl Lesch finds a gardenia with pink rose buds to accent her white brocade gown. The special event was the Valentine Dance. LILAC PRINCESS Dana Steiner was one of six Valley seniors who vied with nine others for a Lilac title. Dahlberg Company sponsored Dana. LET'S TWIST! Leslie Korsh and Bob Larson gyrate to the music of Steve Peer and his band at the Christmas Dance, Winterland by Night. QUEENLY REACTIONS, displayed Peg Lindberg fashion, took effect after her announcement as Homecoming Queen at the October 5 pep fest. A congratulatory hug was offered by Cathie Finch. VIKING WRESTLERS, Jon Lang and Brian Croteau, meet U of M grappling coach Wally Johnson at the fifth Athletic Banquet. Jon won the Conference 95 pound title. While sports fans around the state followed the fortunes of the Minnesota football Vikings, people in the valley found that another band of Vikings, Golden Valley style, were making a strong bid for the MVC pennant. At about the same time the Minnesota Gophers accepted an invitation to play in the Rose Bowl, Tom Benepe's GV team cinched a tie for the league title with a 30-0 victory over Waconia. Meanwhile, back at the Bowl, the Gophers bombed UCLA 2-3. Valley senior Jay Martin trekked to Steamboat Springs, Colorado, and soared to the National Junior Ski-Jumping Championship with leaps of 179 and 181 feet. GV wrestlers jelled in the Conference meet for a hard-earned championship. Whitey Johnson's bucketmen rolled to second in the MVC— highest finish in school's annals. While the United States figure skating team made a comeback in Poland after last year's disastrous plane crash, the pride of Golden Valley rinks, Sophomore John Kulenkamp, placed fourth in the Regional figure-skating championships in Denver. Rookie Rich Rollins and Bernie Allen sparked the Minnesota baseball Twins to the rarified atmosphere of the American League's first division in early season, while Valley's baseball team made a dash for the crown and fell one game short. As the Twins had Camilc Pas-cual, the Valley Vikings had Rick Carlson. The senior righthander posted the top earned run average in the League, winning seven of eight games. 12 (Cey notes EvtuAb IMkS DIVERSfTV MARKS SPORTS BILL LETTERMEN CLUB'S emblems posed a prickly problem to athletes, Tom Ylvisaker and Clint Ewald. As spring rolled into Valley High, Vikings found a discus thrower in trackman Skip Hall. Hall disrupted Lake Conference superiority in District 18 with discus and shot put championships, took the Region discus title, and finished fourth in the state. Meanwhile, the rest of the squad raced to a solid second place finish in the MVC. FOOTBALL championship resulted in a clean-up of the Conference and Coach Benepe.

School was not a part time job; few Valleyites ever experienced the exhilaration of flippantly tossing a stack of books in a locker at 3:20 and forgetting them. After pressing homework, out-of-school activities often claimed the other 18 hours of the day. Record-o-dak machines at the library spun like one-armed bandits as students weighed out research material by the pound. Education's labyrinth maps many avenues and hallways, all eventually leading to a common goal of knowledge. In school: Classroom confabs and co-curricular events both totaled to form the product, a more liberally intelligent individual. Beehives of ideas found encouraging expression in the fine arts, and creativity revealed her exciting face. At home: A toe tappin' transistorized beat was sole companion in project work, while deadlines and approaching due dates required intense personal concentration. Through abstruse generalization, students surveyed courses for later specialization.

Frank Farrell, guidance counsellor, discusses college costs, scholarships, and admission requirements with both parents and students. Each senior has a minimum of four conferences. Detective, employment director, publisher—all of these is Frank Farrell, counsellor. The non-college graduate considers him a direct line to Minnesota Employment office and a job. A married alumnus looks upon him as the one who puts out an alumni newspaper. A mother regards the counsellor as a type of detective who can tell her whom her son took to a dance. A teacher consults him when a student is having a problem other than one concerning discipline. To the average student in a school where 82 per cent of the student body applies for college entrance, the counsellor is the one who helps the college-bound students on their way. In his eleven-month working year Mr. Farrell finds the average senior in his office six times.

I passed Latin because my teacher was also my track coach. As superintendent, Dr. Kane carries the responsibility of coordinating the school district activities so that each Golden Val- ley student can get the maximum benefit from his education. Mr. Breisch tackles the responsibilities attached to heading two families, educational and domestic. To guide, direct, and perpetuate the learning of each of his sons and daughters is the duty of the principal, head of the educational family. The second of Mr. Breisch's families, housed in somewhat smaller quarters, accommodates only two girls and two boys. PRINCIPAL Dewey R. Breisch and Superintendent Elmer R.

Qtudetd Council fiAakto Wodttfo, Pi FACULTY AND GROUPS L£AD GV In matters of intellectual leadership, government, social life and in classroom activities faculty leaders shared with and transferred their leadership to two groups in particular—the Student Council and National Honor Society. A beard, a top hat and tails, and the Confederate flag cinched the election of Steve Woehrle as Student Council president in the 1961 campaign. Each class is represented by two people on the council, with one remaining for a second year in order to grow familiar with the proceedings. I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream chanted the melodious members of the senior council the day the ice cream freezer arrived. The coffers felt the presence of the new addition with a nickel profit on each bar. The council also sponsored 5 weeks of 50-cent dance lessons taught by John Kafkas. Net gains made possible a school stereo.

At the current growth rate, an addition of approximately 175 names in twenty-five years is the space limit of the Society plaque that hangs above the trophy case. When the aroma of lemon cupcakes, sugar cookies, and chocolate date bars filled the cafetor-ium during the last day of each nine-week quarter, it wasn't a trial run of the Betty Crocker Bake-Off, but an honor roll party. Re- freshments were furnished by members during sixth period to promote the proper care and feeding of A and B students and inspire other sweet-toothed individuals to better work. Peak attendance is reached in the second quarter when the greatest number attained honor roll status. Gaily colored bulletin boards informed the student body of honor roll parties. Society happenings, and the need for scholastic excellence. Boy-girl combinations decorated the boards monthly.

WALLS DIVIDED Valley classrooms, but through departmental cooperation, classroom activities were coordinated. Roman Borgerding (English 10, 12, Journalism I, II, Valley Viewer adviser) charts an image from Macbeth that Waugeath, wulf-hleath, win-dinocasses, confronted and confounded senior English students. An Anglo-Saxon birthright wasn't necessary to pass, but it certainly would have helped. New at Golden Valley this year, Roman Borgerding taught the seniors to treat literature as an art. Like painting, music, sculpture, and ballet, literature is an expression of a vision of reality. Besides posing as contemporary Chaucers and Shakespeares, students discussed topics running the gamut from love and religion to television programs and progressive education. Among the visions examined by seniors were representative writings of various historical periods in English literature—from Anglo-Saxon Beowulf to modern day My Fair Lady. Literature of the United States was presented to the juniors chronologically first, to show a relationship between the authors and the history which created them; then, students further studied intensively a number of Masters of American Literature, varying in scope from the realism of Mark Twain to the romanticism of Irving. You are all sinners! accused Jim Miller as he gave an encore in Miss Patricia Neill's speech class of a sermon first delivered by Reverend Jonathan Edwards in 1741. Topical speeches delved into suicide, The Sport That Offers No Future, and highways, Open Air Slaughterhouses. Students rose to frequent points of order as they explored the complex world of par-liamentar procedure, and later displayed their theatrical talents while studying drama. Class members also assumed the daily PA announcement chores. 22 % Duncan's virtues metaphorically plead like angels.

Anne Steele, Linda O'Dell, and Jan Hammermeister impersonate witches to get into the spirit of Macbeth. UNCLE PAUL ENGHAUSER, with an air of Aunt Jemima, whips up a batch of hot cakes in speech class. With his pancake chatter and sizzling platter, he had classmates literally clamoring for seconds.

Mr. Rust, are you sure the class wouldn't benefit more if I just handed my report to you instead of taking precious class time for an oral recitation? Quite sure, was teacher Clyde Rust's reply. Nervous as they are, junior high English students find they will have to face the facts and the class. Five to seven-minute talks, reports, and demonstrations, assisted by notecards, accustomed students to oral performances. Creative writing was introduced in paragraphs and progressed to larger compositions. An example of a theme follows: Many of those memorable, yet laughable, incidents in my life, which everyone seems to have experienced, have been produced innocently by my pet. Last night, for instance, was a good example. Coming into the room I was just in time to see my cat, who is so dreadfully afraid of water, taking a jack-knife dive into a bathtub full of it. All fours outstretched, he was paralyzed for a few slight seconds. Then, as his comprehension returned, one word registered in the shocked confusion of his brain: 'water!' I watched dumbfounded, witnessing the first animal helicopter make its take-off and go whirling out of the water and roaring toward the ceiling. As he slowed down, I could see he was using the frog-kick. Although I respected his knowledge of the stroke, I was doubtful that this was the purpose anticipated in its invention. Such written work, plus oral presentations, was stressed along with the traditional grammar and spelling, which is present in every English class. 24 I COME HERE, DR. WATSON, I WANT YOU.

The 91-letter monstrosity was invented by Mark Twain to express his criticism of German, which adds numerous adjectives directly to nouns. GERMAN SING ALONG with Frau Wivell combines learning and fun for Janet Boschee and Jerry Peterson. Mark Twain once remarked German words are so long that they have perspective. Der Deutsche Verein attempts to give its members a better understanding of the country and people. Wearing of German costumes on meeting days, dining at the annual Alumni Brunch, visiting a German church service, and attending the year-end banquet all aimed toward this goal. Ending study of German on a serious note, four year students examined immortal Faust. 26 Each day one of every four students is involved in book traffic. Valleyites utilize the 5070 volumes in the library since 100 are checked out daily. The chief aim of the library is to have 15 books per pupil, though, if money was no object, the aim would be increased to 20, commented librarian Evelyn Arends. Of the 1200 books purchased last year. Mistress of Mel-lyn has become most popular for relaxation reading. Reading is learning and learning is knowledge could well be the motto of the Dewey Decimals, Golden Valley's library club. Each regular meeting, held every other Tuesday, consists of learning library usage, performance of librarian's duties, familiarization with famous authors and works, and presenting oral book reports. Although not a requirement, Decimals read an average of two books per month. Members recommend books ordered for junior high reading and help with processing.

It was the sound of Mrs. Ele-nora Conrad's French classes, polishing up their nasal accents and tongue-twisting French vowels. For French I students bewilderment was common. Mastery of basic French pronunciation and memorization of irregular verbs was further frustrated by puzzling all-French directions. Second year students had the joy of writing research papers, one in English and one in French, on memorable French figures. Renditions of La Marseillaise and Sur le Pont that would have curled the hair of a Gallic head served to break the tension of second year students' arduous schedule.

Sfxuudi iARED WOUSIACWE’ TICKLES SPANISH RAY READERS El burro sabe mas que tu. The burro knows more than you. Spanish students have been jokingly reprimanded with this phrase by their professor de espanol, Mrs. Eleonora Conrad. Among other facts, first year Spanish students learned all about el tenis, el futbol, and el beisbol and how to greet each other politely at any time. Second year students took a tour of Cuba, via Professor Cun-eo, member of the University of Minnesota Spanish department, in his book Visitas. La Muela del Juicio and El Bigote Rubio, or Wisdom Teeth and Red Moustache, were two of the subjects of the plays and short stories read in Spanish by third year estudien-tes. Small gold sombreros were pinned on sweaters and shirts of Spanish Club members on meeting days, as el club de espa?fol initiated the use of pins. To match the Deutsch Club's lusty singing of the Germanized When the Saints Go Marchin' In, two ambitious espanol III students translated the tune into Spanish, adding maracas and shakers for a new rhythm. In order to help bring foreign exchange students to Golden Valley High again next year, the Spanish Club participated in the American Field Service International Festival. A brimming treasure chest of second-hand jewelry was guarded by members, but its contents were surrendered when customers cross their palms with coins. Sore feet and aching backs were representative of the day's work, but a glimpse in the cash-box worked better than a bottle of Bufferin. Raffling off a radio and camera brought the Spanish room a larger profit than any other display room. 29 tufJcoifCof ll COPY-CRAZED, CAPTION-COUNTING, journalism students Peggy Lindberg, sports co-editor, and Teri Gomsrud, assistant second page editor, wield a smart pica stick and type a fast pace as the Viewer deadline nears.

Fifteen staffers from both publications journeyed to the Windy City to participate in the nationwide event. Editors Maury Christensen, Gail Skyberg and Margie Hoines were asked to represent Golden Valley at the Chicago convention by Fred L. Kildow, director of the National Scholastic Press Association. The three panelists discussed pictorial advertising, which was a feature of the '61 book. Another convention which heralded Valley press men was the Minneapolis Star and Tribune Clinic where the Valley Viewer was analyzed and found to be one of the best high school newspapers at the workshop in years. Writing weekly sports features for the Suburban Press, Golden Valley's community paper, was an important job for Jerry Bos-chee, editor of the Valley Viewer. Jerry was honored with a trophy for his outstanding coverage of the 1961 summer baseball finals. Together, the Viking and the Valley Viewer infiltrate 90 per cent of Valley's student body.

He must be kidding! Sixty seniors thought so in September, but soon discovered that instructor Tom Benepe was a man of his word and that they were destined to spend many harried nights in the race to fill the dictated quota. Writer's cramp was relieved by panel discussions, which ranged in topic from the pitfalls of early marriage to the psycho-socioeconomic influences of the television set upon the family. They proved so absorbing that arguments spilled out into the halls and even other classrooms after the period. Those who don't know history are condemned to repeat it, warned instructor Walter Kimble. Knowledge was gained through lecture sessions, informal classroom discussion periods, and the inevitable research papers in his social studies classes. Juniors concentrated on 'the rise and fall of world civilizations, while sophomores turned their efforts toward the comprehension of their American heritage. Field trips to traffic court, city hall, and school board meetings gave instructor Gerald Peterson's ninth grade civics students direct insight into the workings of their society. Taking a slightly different approach than is standard to geography, Mr. Peterson's classes studied the world by means of its activities, such as agriculture and industry, rather than by separate countries. ULNA, metacarpals—beginning a bone count-down is Tom Benepe (Modern Problems, Biology, Track and Football Coach). A HOT POTATO is measured for radioactivity.

JURVDUIY CALLS 24 TO COURT We do solemnly swear . . . to judge fairly . . intoned 24 GV students while serving as jurors for a moot trial at Mitchell School of Law in St. Paul. Divided into a pair of juries, Valleyites considered a settlement claim pitting Henry Logan against the Great Northern Railway, an actual 1911 case. Unaware of the original court decision, the juries delivered verdicts of much the same character, awarding Logan $20,000. The 1911 decision was also in favor of the plaintiff, although the Supreme Court later reversed the decision.

The biology students also chased Lepidoptera with nets fashioned from cheesecloth and broomsticks, weilded their scapels to discover the aortic arches in a worm, and learned the function of the deltoid. Senior high chemistry class, taught by William Cordiner, balanced equations after studying valences and energy of reactions. Crystal growing and hydrogen collecting were two of the experiments performed in lab to illustrate principles. With the periodic and valence charts on opposite walls, heads swiveled and eyes spun. To combat this, students prepared ozone, a refreshing isotope of oxygen. Scholars seen racing up and down the stairs early last fall were not practicing for track. They were merely physics students computing the horsepower it took to run up stairs based on the incline of the stairs, the weight of the runner, and the time it took him to reach the top. The problem of measuring the height of a single molecule also challenged sixth period physicists. Physics exams were made easier by cheat-sheets a half piece of paper crammed with facts and formulas, barely discernible to the human eye. Experimentation in ninth grade general science class, directed by Harold Flolid, found that the perfect answer to the snooze alarm is an alarm clock placed under a vacuum bell jar which completely prevents the sound from being carried. Seventh and eighth grade junior scientists, taught by Mrs. Marjorie Drager, studied subjects ranging from orthropods to the zinc in dry cells, generated oxygen and hydrogen, tested kindling temperatures of various materials, distilled water, and made an air thermometer.

LOOPS, CURVES, DASHES, circles whirl through Judy Volkenant's head as she attempts to convert her thinking to shorthand terms while taking dictation from Mrs. Armi Nelson (Business, Viking adviser). Business ms STRIVE FOR SPEED If you remember those first feeble strokes you penned back in grade school or the ineptness you suffered learning how to tie your shoes, you can appreciate the feeling experienced by students in beginning shorthand and typing classes. By the end of the year, fingers darted over the once slippery keys at rates from 50-70 words per minute, and shorthand experts ate up notebook pages at speeds reaching 120 words a minute. Bookkeeping” was the way Mrs. Armi Nelson's business principles class was tabbed on report cards, but scope extended beyond the traditional debits and credits. Required reading broadened insights in fields of labor, investments, management, and personal economics. The growing importance of the European Economic Community was recognized by junior executives in the writing of research papers on this topic. Room 105's assets skyrocketed one afternoon as Underwood-Olivetti Corporation loaned the business department 13 Divi-summa 24 calculators costing roughly $600 apiece. Deviating from the seven basic bookkeeping steps, students participated as jurors in moot court trial held at William Mitchell Law School. 36 FEMALE SEWEr ADDS SFARfcLE TO 7RJO, SOUD NEAL HARRIS fingers the slide rule as Mrs. Ella Lindberg (mathematics. Red Cross adviser) instructs him. Unique problems converted second year algebra students into coffee mixing and sidewalk construction experts. Added to the computation of squate and circle areas, the enigma of odd-shaped triangles, the plane geometry class was introduced to the curiosities of cosines, sines, and tangents. This year found a new crew of tutors at the helm, headed by Mr. Homer Moeller. Femininity plus figures did not prove a problem but a pleasure for the sixteen males in this year's solid geometry and trigonometry class. The six girl mathematicians set a new enrollment for this branch of advanced mathematics at Golden Valley. Solid geometry students constructed polyhedrons and truncated cylinders. HOW TO SOLVE a problem in nine (or ten, or eleven) easy steps is demonstrated by detective Barb Niles, who unravels the Mystery of the Four Triangles for the benefit of Kathie Mikucki and Tim Ewald in Homer Moeller's geometry class. MANIPULATING A REGULAR isoscahedron, Homer Moeller (Plane and Solid Geometry, Algebra II, and Trigonometry) informs students, A thorough training in solid geometry is especially helpful in learning about spacial relations. 37 SELF-EXPRESSION tey TO ARTISTIC SUCCESS; CRAFtS UEN CREATE 200 FILINGS FLY as Bob Merwin works to finish his enamel relief.

Spattered on in various forms of self-expression, more than 80 pounds of paint found its way onto the canvasses of Mr. Baker's art pupils. Grounded in the fundamentals but experimenting with the unique, students ventured into the worlds of wax paintings and foam glass sculpture. Though work with the 1600° F. kiln was quite heated, soft music occasionally provided an atmosphere of relaxation. 38 Grating, whining, screeching, and sometimes purring sounds penetrate to the outside world from that strictly masculine domain, the shop. The department is a large room occupied by a circle saw, oxyacetylene welders, a panbrake, drawing boards, and an engine called the “Viking Streak. It is here that boys in grades 7-12 receive instruction in the ten fields of Industrial Education, beginning in the seventh grade with wood technology, leather craft, and applied metals, and proceeding to basic and advanced mechanical drawing, applied electricity, electronics, and advanced wood technology in upper grades. Designing and building scale models of their dream homes proved an intriguing assignment for seniors. Requirements stipulate upper class projects must be of original design. Hi-fi cabinets and tables were popular projects. PLENTY of paper, a surplus of wheat-paste, a few feathers were tools of the trade for 7th and 8th grade papier mache menageries.

HO UES FURNISHED EVHO UEECII Holey wrestling uniforms, drooping hems, and hanging buttons are some of the curious mending jobs confronting Mrs. Lorna Erdahl, home economics teacher, throughout the year. Becoming familiar with the different types of meals, and cooking everything from steaks to frappes led senior girls to the preparation of a complete dinner in the spring. STRAIGHT SEWING, CUTTING, AND THINKING are necessary qualities for successful sewers like Jane Ulstrom. An extensive home furnishings unit including style of furnishing, types of homes, and colors also challenged the home economics II class. After studying color selection in relation to complexion tones, eighth graders sewed skirts and blouses from a common pattern and produced suprisingly different costumes. Fruit-laden and egg-filled dishes were prepared by eighth graders as they studied the importance of a good meal. HEMLINES GO UP, UP, UP! With the rewards of a completed garment in mind, Patty Parlin and Mrs. Lorna Erdahl put finishing touches on a dress and comply with fashion's heightened hemlines. Favorite creations in the senior class were plain or plaid winter wool coordinates. TWO CAPFULS OR TWO CUPFULS?-led to a soapy situation.

Three of five freshmen see more dances as the main difference between junior and senior high school. From a teacher's viewpoint differences in classroom behavior are more evident. Substitute days are special days when junior high students befuddle their temporary teachers by switching seats and having lapses of memory about assignments.

These phrases were not recited by five-year olds, but mumbled by junior high music students, as they memorized the lines of the music staff. When students were not preoccupied with hungry cars and fighting animals, the classes studied composers, musical works, and instruments. Highlighting the band year was the selection of the first band uniforms. After four years of waiting, the band received their reward in the form of shiny gold buttons and golden trim. Suiting all sixty band members posed a perplexing problem until Director William Anderson came up with a solution. He, with the aid of twelve students, submitted suggested designs to the school board, who made the final decision. Vikings' musical season was accented by band appearances in Homecoming festivities, the Christmas and spring concerts, assemblies, pepfests, and basketball games. Anything, from excerpts from Hennesey to Spanish Mala-guena appeared on musical stands, as band members displayed a wide range of music appreciation. A regrouping of instrumental voices was devised this year in an effort to achieve better blending. An intermingling of component parts resulted in intriguing coloring by the different instruments. Lending Director William Anderson a helping hand were Jean DeVilliers, Mary Heighstedt, and Alison Coutts, the band aides. Their activities ranged from sorting music to cleaning up the music room to straightening the band members' new ties. 42 SENIOR BAND—Front Row: Swanberg, Kueffner, Wright, Jacobson. Row 2: P.

Eager to display their musical ability outside of the practice room, members have been known to fill the hallways with the opening bars of Hey, Look Me Over, while treading their way to classrooms. With equal spirit, though short of those vibrant male voices, is the all-girl junior chorus. Early in November, the group brought recognition to the school when it attended the Southdale American Education Week Exhibition. As part of the program, the girls presented, by means of creative rhythm patterns, their interpretation of little black cats frolicking over pumpkins. If you cling to your radio in hopes of hearing the Kingston Trio records, stop! Cling no longer, spend no more on countless records, for in Golden Valley High the Kingston Sextet, better known as the Voyageurs, is climbing on its way to success. Another group wishing to demonstrate their talents was formed by Clint Ewald, Bob Larson, Dan McAuliffe, Steve Sahly, Chuck Burnham, Tom Ylvisaker, and Jim Jones. Spirituals make up the main portion of their repertoire, though strains of Bloody Mary have often been heard echoing from the practice room. This year the seventh and eighth grade music classes studied composers from all over the world. One of their enjoyable assignments was attending the symphony. Waconia high school hosted the 8-school Valley Conference music festival in March. Constructive criticism was given by authorities immediately after each school performance. This procedure replaced the former grading system which proved unsatisfactory. After going through reams of music, a state music committee produced a wide selection of numbers from which each school made its individual selection. 45 ATHLETIC COACHES Jerome Holewa (Social Studies 7, 8, Athletic Director, Jr. High Basketball) and Roger Johnson (Physical Education, Assistant Football, Basketball) practice up on some sharp shooting.

The aim of the gym classes alternating with health, is to give Vikings the opportunity to keep in shape mentally and physically. The girls gym classes are varied with sports activities from archery to bounces on the new trampoline. Boys stayed with the routine sport of football in the fall until weather forced them inside. Intergrade competition in basketball and relays determined class champions. Girls aren't really so soft, as was revealed when the state required physical-fitness tests were taken. Girls managed 53 sit-ups while the boys struggled to 59, only six extra sit-ups separating the girls from the boys. In the health classes, the girls study the body in seventh grade, starting with the hands and feet and culminating with investigation into the mind and mental illness. But all is not sweat and tears. Laughter echoed when the girls were dismissed for showers and the clang of the fire bell was heard. Screams resounded as girls pulled up their shorts and lost their skirts on the climb up the stairs.

Giving gifts is the easy way out, but the giving of service is a truly appreciated act. With this philosophy in mind, the Golden Valley Hi-Y and Red Cross Clubs carried through projects serving locally and abroad. Under the guidance of Mr. Norman Falk, the boys of the Golden Valley Hi-Y chapter gave of their service by participating in the United Fund Drive and delivering Thanksgiving baskets to needy families. Meetings were held every Wednesday night at homes of members. Bob Larson, as president of the chapter, also headed the Goodwill drive as city-wide prexy. In December the girls of the Senior Red Cross brought the Christmas spirit to the Valley View rest home where they served homemade cookies, deco- rated the Christmas trees, and filled the air with their carols. The Junior Red Cross, in cooperation with the adult group, filled a chest of toys, school supplies for 24 students, which was scheduled for a needy or disaster-stricken area. Last year's chest was sent to France for future delivery from there. RED CROSS— Front Row: Gore, Nio, Heidelberger; Row 2: O'Dell, M. Mellberg, K. Mikucki. Row 3: Stanton, Gaudette, Yunker.

Everyone recalls the outward pomp of graduation. A few seniors remember the personal pain and trials in trying to make a 36 arm fit a 32 sleeve. Seniors had the best lockers in the house—front lower level, numbers 1-58. Yet even the supreme had to decide if it was to be muddy boots on books or books balanced by boots. Sophomores recall the achievement in passing their driver's tests. But February's record snow fall of 26.5 inches brought doubts concerning necessary passing points and driving ability. Bus rides to and from school were helpful, convenient, and appreciated; but even a moving van would have seemed ineffectual when tagboard maps, lead art work, papier mache animals, portable typewriters, plus pounds of books also needed transportation. Studies, special events, and sports all cut their facets into the individual's personality, but added luster was buffed by daily school life situations.

Two and forty juniors, forming Valley's smallest class, quantity-wise, began a third year of senior high by directing all energies toward big-time prom finances. Clanking cowbells, waving pennants, and flashing buttons urged Viking gridders on, as juniors joyfully scooped up the novelty profits. Sponsoring the Homecoming Dance and waging the magazine drive were two other fruitful efforts which orought the junior treasury to a grand total of $1,200. February found drama competing with the Prom for attention. Over half the tiny class had parts in their first theatrical attempt, The Man Who Came to Dinner. This was a year for considering futures. Some discovered tentative answers in the well-worn pages of college catalogues. Others were able to pinpoint their destinies with the aid of the Kuder Preference Test.

A little late in his departure. Instructor Tom Benepe stepped out of the building just in time to witness a busload of gleeful biologists turn the corner and disappear from view. Fortunately, the bus let the misplaced person aboard as it rounded the block, curdling the hopes of the passengers. It was incidents like these that sustained the sophomores as they moved deeper into the senior high realms of tests and research papers. Class president Peter Myhre led tenth graders into another sphere of high school activities, the organizing of social affairs. In February, busy sophs put their hearts into an all-class project, the annual Valentine's Dance. An even break financially, the dance provided valuable experience for events to be sponsored in the future. The twist hit the class like a bombshell, as it did the entire school. After demonstrating their dancing abilities at a sock hop, Nancy Lindberg and Jim Ewald were rated most twistable. No mishaps were reported.

The be-streamered doors of GV dances were at last opened to them, and a bewildering variety of subjects beckoned as they planned their four-year schedules. Excited freshmen, making their dancing debuts at Homecoming, watched proudly as classmates Sharon Bowman and Bill Crowder led the royal procession. Mushrooming talents enhanced the freshman name, also. Among the musically inclined were Richard Koeneman and Bill Crowder, who, with upperclassmen Steve Whoerle, Fred Hass, Vis Vidins, and Ricki Langley, formed their own dance combo. Experiencing a new awareness to their world around them, civic-minded freshies Joni Lenske, Jim Russell, Sandra Carlson, and Sharon Bowman climbed the steps of the state capital for a personal interview with Governor Anderson. In spite of these'honors, freshmen found the going was a little rough at times.

Having learned to maneuver down a congested hallway, they felt confident enough to peep through the railings to observe and note the inhabitants of the lower levels—the inscrutable members of the senior high. As a result, hair-dos heightened, innovations in make-up appeared, and clothes were worn with a more fashionable flair. Interest in last year's stamp club paled before an attraction that has no com- parison—the opposite sex. Keeping up with the pace of their elders at junior high sock hops, they exhibited their skill at the stomp and the twist; typical of the entertainment was a knock-out performance by yo-yo contestants. Already assuming an important role in high school life, the class of '66 contributed its talents to the band, the audio-visual aids department, the wrestling and the B-squad basketball teams. In their class rooms, eighth graders learned how to measure blood pressure and to use the slide rule and the sextant.

All of the 76 seventh graders felt the excitement in their tread as they entered the noisy cafetorium the first day of school and filled a good one-fifth of the seats. The first few weeks were a period of accelerated adjustment. The new arrivals found barely enough time to pick up their notebooks, pencils, and papers as dismissal resounded and dash to the next class, much less mull over the complexity of schedules and variety of teachers. Like Pavlov's dog, they soon learned the trick of conditioned reflexes. There were now six or seven methods of heading a paper, writing an assignment, or obtaining that coveted A. The average seventh grader needed a mind like a filing cabinet to memorize his activity-crammed schedule. Health and gym met on alternate days of the week, while science and home economics or shop ran for a full semester each. Music, art, and guidance shared a period at intervals of six or nine weeks. As the initial daze wore off, enthusiastic joiners flocked to activities like stamp club, Red Cross, and C-squad basketball.

In order to downshift the classroom's pace, group-sponsored activities, from the soph's Sweetheart Swirl to the Honor Society's Induction formalities, were offered to Valleyites. Some danced away pressures and tensions at senior-planned Winterland by Night. Those left with a spark of rebellion to Valley's Dress Code broke out workshoes, moth-eaten pants, and a color crayon to blacken a few teeth for a hay-day fling. Post-dance activities kept swingers out later than a standard school-day curfew. Following the Christmas Dance six adventurous senior couples tobogganed the snow-covered golf greens at Theodore Wirth Park. Junior and senior plays gave actors a taste of special events that was not pure sociability. Six weeks of practice and propplacing served to bring the class together and release caged expressions. Dances, plays, and other activities did their part in satisfying the social side of school. However, Saturday was one of the best medicines to remedy week-day baching it with the books.

As stomachs were satisfied with international fare, entertainment was provided by four Israeli dancers swirling in bright yellow costumes, a Malayan girl performing her native candle dance, and Valley's accordionist, Ricki Langley. Rooms representing Scandinavia, Germany, the Orient, Spain, and France sold native goods. An array of UN flags, compli- ments of Dayton's, dominated the foyer stairs, while below, two artists from the Minneapolis School of Arts were on hand to sketch portraits in charcoal. An old world atmosphere was created by an Italian organ-grinder and monkey who strolled through the halls playing quaint tunes. A roving rickshaw carried an Oriental flavor into the halls. Japanese trinkets plus hammered brass from India were on sale. Go Sien Nio, foreign exchange student from Indonesia, displayed her native clothing and accessories. SETTING THE STAGE for the tenth showing, AFS Indonesian Exchange Student Go Sien Nio helps Steve Woehrle adjust the slide projector. Steve has shown slides in school and at Walker Art Center, telling about the Swiss people he visited under the AFS program in the summer of '61. CONGENIALITIES ARE EXCHANGED between sovereign and subject before the coronation. Johnny Tourville, in his capacity as custodian of the crown, proudly displays the royal headgear cn a velvet cushion to King Tom Ylvisaker. Blazing flames shot high into the October sky as the Shakopee Indian effigy met its fate at Golden Valley's second annual bonfire. Shakopee's Indians were conquered again the next day by the Vikings, this victory taking place in a 33 to 0 massacre on the football field. Dominating the atmosphere of the 1961 Homecoming Dance was the announcement that Golden Valley had tied for first place in the Conference that afternoon. At 9:30 the dancing stopped and, in a ceremony that i$ becoming traditional at Golden Valley, the coronation commenced with a flourish of trumpets and the reading of the royal decree by Master of Ceremonies, Maury Christensen. Avis Peterson and Bill Kuhlmann, last year's returning Homecoming Queen and King, crowned their successors. Queen Peggy Lindberg and King Tom Ylvisaker.

From the solemn performance, few would have suspected the frantic activity on stage before the annual Honor Society Induction—the hasty pinning of red corsages, a harried search for a stack of missing notecards, and last-minute admonishments like, Now, girls, remember to keep your knees together. Members took a slightly different approach in their speeches this year by discussing the reflections of noted men on the four Honor Society qualities. Speeches included the thoughts of Emerson on character, Plutarch on leadership, and James Russell Lowell on service. After amply sampling culinary delicacies at the reception in the library, brains converged for a soap-suds seminar to tackle cleanup problems.

At the dance, the guests enjoyed a back-woods favorite, apple cider and doughnuts, and were entertained by the Voyag-eurs, the barefoot senior boys who gave original renditions of folk songs, Tijuana Jail and Matilda. At the bewitching hour of ten o'clock preacher Marrin' Sam, alias Steve Woehrle, appeared and hitched the willing females, and sometimes unwilling males, with genwine marriage certificates and gold wedding bands. 92 PLAYING UP slave Bill Crowder's strong qualities are Gregg Parmalee (left) and auctioneer, Tom McAuliffe.

The highest bid of $2.50 went for Linda O'Dell, who proved quite amusing to her masters by winning races and tap dancing. After classes, all slaves were forced to carry mounds of vol- umes from class, to class, to class, while dressed in latest things not to be dressed in.

Holiday cheer was expressed many ways by high school students. Whether it was the joining of voices in a community Christmas sing or the excited preparation for a holiday dance, Valley-ites celebrated each festive occasion. In a Valentine's hearts and flowers atmosphere, students danced to the music of Jerry Meskan's Mello Notes. Stepping through a door-sized heart made of red, pink, and white carnations, couples were dwarfed by an unusual bit of dance decor—a huge Picasso-type broken heart which sprawled across the west wall. At 9:30 Sweetheart Swirlers watched Bob Larson and Suzy Crowder receive their crowns as King and Queen of Hearts. The Meadowbrook and Golden Valley Music Departments joined forces to produce the Bells of Christmas. The spell was cast as 166 fifth and sixth graders marched into the darkened gym with glowing flashlight candles. After selections were sung by Meadowbrook candlebearers, the Senior Choir presented A Cappel-la versions of As Lately We Watched and Carol of the Bells,- among other pieces, the band played Two Moods. Junior Choir members executed interpretive steps to Waltz from Toy land. The audience joined the band and choirs in singing Christmas favorites. 94 A SNOWFLAKE for your thoughts ' says HARMONIOUS sounds of Carol of the Bells fill the gym as Senior Choir members, Steve Rosholt to Lynn Beliak.

Bringing the outdoors indoors was the task created for the decorations committee when Seniors selected Winterland by Night as the Christmas Dance theme. A shimmering blue, tinsel-laden tree was the center attraction and chief source of light. Tables resembled Christmas packages. Winter's own addition to the festivities—two inches of white flakes—plus the band's closing tune White Christmas, sent Val-leyites home in a holiday spirit. Trading frothy dresses and dark suits for ski pants and heavy parkas, and cars for a toboggan, some adventurous party-goers climaxed the evening by gliding down Theodore Wirth Park slopes. MODERN INTERPRETATIONS of the Christmas spirit are characterized by Junior Choir members, Jane Dresser, Susan Albert, Jennifer Raabe, Jane Ulstrom, Carol Stenborg, Pamela Bradley, and Sharon Brannick. 95 JiuuO'ts Se Atute io LAugld t, Ut “ Ua t Wk Ca t DUute t R££NtC, OLD IACB -R£CJP£ FOR QBNIORy CONCOCTION ARSENIC and Old Lace cast-Seafed: Clint Ewald, Barry Steinman, Jan Hammermeister, RISING TO THE OCCASION, impetuous Banjo (Dary Sheehy) comes, sees, and conquers Whiteside's nurse.

Thirty-six of the 42 junior class members were included in the cast directed by Patricia Neill and Student Director Marnie Mellberg. Seniors, remembering last year's production, reassembled in November to stage Arsenic and Old Lace. Unique characterizations were a Frankenstein maniac and a man who imagined himself to be Teddy Roosevelt. Director Marjorie Drager and Student Director Linda O'Dell led the production. A window seat, the school's lost and found box, was the unusual setting for points of action.

Night and day was the difference between the rush of hot and disheveled juniors and seniors who pushed open the doors of Valley High at 2 o'clock Friday and those who stepped elegantly out of cars into the Way-zata Country Club at 6:30 for the Junior-Senior Prom, Stardust. A flood of rain in a tornadolike storm cut the power in some areas for a short time, giving a few anxious minutes to Prom-goers scurrying to shine shoes or don dresses. Luckily for Jerry Boschee, his automatic garage door was up when the storm hit. Early morning hours found party-goers ordering everything from iced tea to shrimp cocktail in a specially reserved room at the Ambassador Motor Hotel. Later morning hours found the tired, but still very active partying students at Taylor's Falls or at an Annandale Lake cabin. By pulling just one rope Jim Jones managed to give Maury Christensen a big taste of ice water as he completely overturned the sailboat in which AAaury was seated. Maury was joined by half a dozen others to swim and water ski, ending their Prom on a wet note. 99 Btago , Boy Lunches, Of)QaU dm CafxM, OUARTET CAPTURES VALEDIClORy At 7:30 p.m., June 6, they all were seniors. By 9 p.m., 57 new alumni, with tassels turned, were greeting parents and relatives at the post-graduation reception and eagerly awaiting their two-day trip to Chicago by the Burlington Zephyr. Four valedictorians, Margie Hoines, Anne Knickerbocker, Gail Skyberg, and Tom Ylvisaker, and one salutatorian, Chrissy Peterson, shared the commencement podium with school officials. PTA President, Robert McLeod, awarded scholarships to four seniors—Stephen Woehrle, Gail Skyberg, Jan Hammermeister, and Cathy Yunker. Other seniors to receive scholarships were Patty Parlin, Peggy Lindberg, Bill Morris, Margie Hoines, Linda O'Dell, Jay Martin, and Jerry Boschee. Superintendent Elmer R. Kane was presented the class gift— $ 150 to spell out the school's name on the south wall of the building—by Tom Ylvisaker. Following the recessional, seniors attended a sophomore-sponsored reception in the cafeteria, then donned their traveling clothes for the venture en masse to the Windy City. After an all-night train ride, busy with Bingo playing, prize winning, and the consuming of box lunches and pop, sleepless graduates took a seven-hour tour of Chicago. Highlighting the journey was dinner at Berghoff's German restaurant and viewing the theater production, Sound of Music. FOUR YEARS OF COMPETITION are culminated with an orchid-pinning session by Valedictorians, Gail Skyberg, Anne Knickerbocker, and Margie Hoines. SMILING SALUTATORIAN Christine Peterson steps up to the platform to receive her diploma and a congratulatory handshake from GV Board of Education Chairman, Bruce McNeil. 100 A PUNCH TOAST, made by Principal Dewey Breisch, Valedictorian and Ciass President Tom Ylvisaker, and Senior Adviser Tom Benepe, is raised to success.

With the clang of the last dismissal bell, 420 grimy scholars, clutching dog-eared report cards, shook the chalk dust from their feet and spread out like the scattered seeds of a watermelon dropped from a 40-story building. Air travel experienced a new popularity with Valley students. Maury Christensen spent the summer on an Idaho ranch accessible only by plane or horseback. The Finch family piloted themselves to Virginia in their Beechcraft aircraft. Toni Morton outdistanced them both. After flying to New York by jet, she departed for a seven-week trip to Europe. Others found summer employment as clerical workers, salesgirls, junior journalists, or broom- pushers. Nine upperclassmen lent their services to the Village, either as road crew workers or playground supervisors. Among those who will tramp daily through the U of M campus when fall comes are: Bill Morris, Wendy Chappie, Don Swanstrom, Gail Skyberg, Steve Sahly, Dayne Smith, Rick Carlson, Jan Ham-mermeister, Dan McAuliffe, Jerry Boschee, Bob Larson, Dave Garvin, and Margie Hoines. GV alumni will also attend St. Olaf, Macalaster, Mankato, St. Cloud, California Maritime Academy, Bryn Mawr, Purdue, Stevens, the University of Wyoming, Brigham Young University, Christian College, Waldorf, and the National College of Education. 103 104 ATULEnCS 105 Vfcifey OkSy Qckool fa Cok £kCG EflA CfXH hiOitSktf) TWffluj Two Co £££ti Ye ts SPORTS TR1U UPH: no vau-erreaM PtACES UNDER SECOND Any person who participates in sports, as in any endeavor, is out to win. But this is not the ultimate goal of sports. Sports are intended also to spark a sense of sportsmanship and fair play in participants and spectators alike. During the past two years, Golden Valley athletic teams have had better than moderate success, winning three League championships and finishing second three times, but, more important. Valley has received the Minnesota Valley Conference Sportsmanship trophy for two consecutive years. Golden Valley players and fans have displayed the attributes most desired as a result of a sporting program. They have accepted their victories gracefully and their losses calmly to indicate the true intent of sports. The Viking's 1961-1962 sports calendar started off on a winning kick and the script never changed. Coach Tom Benepe's gridders won six straight games to tie Orono for the League championship; Harold Flolid's wrestlers edged University High for the title,- Whitey Johnson's bas-keteers took 11 of 14 games for second place; Flolid's baseball team raced through seven of eight games for second; and Benepe's track team improved steadily through the season to finish second in the Conference. PRACTICE did make perfect Steve Sahly's extra-point kick. Late in the second quarter, his conversion boot provided the final victory margin over Orono. 106 Quarterback Tom Ylvisaker chops off the yards as GV topples Watertown 13-0.

PARENTAL sideline coaching assistants. Mr. and Mrs. Graydon Ewald, question TD or no TD? A lucky thirteen, a set of touchdown twins, an impenetrable defense, and a comeback spirit carried the Vikings to a Conference title. Five Golden Valley players earned positions on the Minnesota Valley All-Conference team.-Left-half Rick Carlson, right-half Chuck Burnham, center Clint E-wald, fullback Skip Hall, and end Bob Bues. But, even with these five, it would have been difficult for the Vikings without a 5' 8 golden-armed quarterback named Jeff McLeod. McLeod's favorite target was 6' 2 Bues. They combined talents for seven touchdowns in the final six games, and Bues added three other TD's to lead GV scorers with 60 points. Carlson escaped for 32, 38, and 42-yard TD romps during the year and had an average of 6.5 yards on 82 carries. Ewald led the nearly-invincible defensive unit to five shutouts to close out the season. He co-cap-tained the Vikings with Vlvisaker to the school's first MVC football championship. Burnham topped the rushers with an 8.2 average on 52 carries, while Hall, a junior, ran 94 times for a 3.9 average and punted 25 times for an astounding high-school average of 36.5 yards. Losing to Breck 20-6 and 7-6 to Chaska, the Vikings came back with a 13-12 victory over Orono. % 108 VARSITY FOOTBALL SQUAD-S f ng: Rosholt, Woehrle, Larson, McLeod, C.

The Spartans, who were destined to finish the year knotted for the title with GV, banged to a touchdown early in the second quarter; but Skip Hall bulled in for a one-yard score and McLeod flipped a short aerial pass to Bues and shoved Valley into a 13-6 lead. Steve Sahly booted the extra point which provided the eventual victory margin. Orono scored again with 1:58 remaining in the final canto, but Steve Rosholt blasted into the Spartan backfield to block the extra-point attempt. GV derailed Watertown 13-0 the following week. Previously beaten Shakopee (3-0) crumbled beneath the Golden Valley powerhouse 33-0 as Burnham scored three times in the third quarter, and winless Eden Prairie had its homecoming spoiled as Bues counted three times, twice on McLeod passes. University High challenged the Vikings through three quarters, but a fourth quarter McLeod-Bues pass wiped out the Gophers' last opportunity. In 1961 's final game, Carlson ignited an explosive 24 point second half by dashing to a 42 yard touchdown in the third quarter. Ylvisaker passed for two TD's to pace GV to a 30-0 triumph. Ewald was elected by his teammates as the most valuable player; Bues secured a place on the Wigwam Wisemen All-American honorable mention high school football team.

But this year's team seemed to have what its predecessors lacked—that extra bit needed to recover from defeats and the refusal to crack under pressure. Steamrolling past five opponents with ease, the Vikings slipped against Watertown, but came back with their fangs sharpened for a record-breaking performance against Shakopee and turned into the home stretch running in second position. Eden Prairie offered little resistance, but Golden Valley had the hard facts of basketball life brought home by Orono before the Vikings snapped out of their complacent lethargy and put on a comeback performance after trailing by nine. Valley continued its steady play with a methodical elimination of Chaska, but University High guillotined the Vikings with a runaway to throw a cloud over GV's title opportunities. The brown-and-gold hatcheted Waconia for its second place standing, but the undefeated Watertown team showed an astounding display of offensive and defensive precision to wrap up the MVC title with an easy conquest of the Vikings. Viking pivotman, Bob Bues, carried on a bitter scoring duel with Al Burtman of Watertown before edging the Royal star 273-269 for the MVC point-making title. For the second consecutive year, Bues was named to the MVC All-Conference unit, while Terry Rosengren's steady performance secured him a position on the All-District 18 team. In the season's annual curtain call, Valley played Hopkins to a standstill during the first half of District 18 action at William's Arena, but a third quarter spurt put the Warriors out of sight. STRAINING EVERY MUSCLE in his favorite lay-up fashion is eager Bob Bues. Bob sank this shot while leading the Vikings to a 62-32 victory over Eden Prairie.

Late in the season the B-squad rebounded into the winner's circle with a five-game streak that began with a 33-29 win over Chaska. The Junior Varsity then beat U-high, Waconia, Water-town, and Shakopee. The Junior Vikings' last-minute streak gave them a final eight-six Conference standing.

The winning cheer was We Got the Gold. During the year they cheered for a team that never came in lower than second place in the Conference.

For the composite efforts, time, and talents of many, the Viking staff of '62 expresses a partial thank you to those involved behind the book. Dan Gleason, representative of Taylor Publishing, has straightened out myriad matters of business contracts and cover colors. Photographer Bill Pletsch of Scherling-Pletsch Studios patiently snapped the shutter over 600 times to set the scenes to editorial specifications. Interrupted by picture schedules and other Viking affairs the teachers and administration of Golden Valley and especially Principal Dewey Breisch deserve a special thank you for understanding the problems of publication. Last of all but first in importance, we and the staffs of the past four years appreciate Adviser Mrs. Armi Nelson's wonderful advice, wit, initiative, and drive and extend a merci beaucoup—a sincere thank you for everything she has done for past and present Vikings.
