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.

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
