Jt $c gc m This school district has no reason to exist. In that self-effacing manner, Supt. Howard Casmey started the 1969-70 school year at Golden Valley High School. The first half of the year was low-key, even by the school's traditional standard of apathy. Comatose took a firm hold in an atmosphere of disinterest and loose organization. Soc-hops were discontinued due to lack of attendance. The Valley Viewer staff shrunk until the masthead of some copies listed less than ten people. The Art Club disbanded before Christmas. Pepfests became voluntary. Customary Christmas, Snow Week and Valentine's Day dances were cancelled for fear of losing money on the band and decoration costs. The Letterman's Club had only one meeting all year. The two-year old Teen Age Republican's Club never bothered to reorganize and disbanded. In general, club's scheduled few activities, and school-sponsored events, with the exception of sports, seemed to be losing favor. M the beginning of the school year, assistant principal Dr. Henry Snyder noted a lack of student awareness and concern for events and issues outside the school community. His observation may have been true at the time, but it was an anti-thesis of the resulting year at GVHS. When many students showed a lack of concern for events within the school community, it first appeared that many students didn't have other activities. Howev er, beneath the facade of indifference, student interest ap a thy (ap'e thi), n., pi. -thies. 1. lack of feeling; absence or suppression of passion, emotion, or excitement. 2. lack of interest in things which others find moving or exciting, (t. L: m. s. apathia. t. Gk.: ra. apatheia insensibility) -Ant. 1. ardor.- was simply diversifying, i Time was used for less organized pursuits. Informal I touch football games would be organized whenever some guys felt like playing. Changing the sign on the it short-lived yellow florescent marquee was done by students, whenever someone thought of a good message. Students produced two plays without the aid of an advisor. A few became interested in the Up with People program, while others discovered the simple pleasures of the U. of M. west bank. 8 i nnT r f in hi IP Mil CJ V- J 1' IMIO M y v r vuik, « • MU Hell no UJi vJori'j‘c|o! 5$ A The students activities became more obvious as the year progressed. Student concern for environmental controls prompted the administration sponsored Ecology Day program. Classes were replaced with seminars and demonstrations concerning pollution and ecology. Taking time from regular classes for special programs had become common during the school year, taking an entire day was the next logical step. The old form of soc-hops, pep clubs and yo-yo spinning was confronted by informal diversions, ecology and the Vietcong flag. The result was the dessimination of student attitudes, and the disintegration of the GVHS produced, sterotyped, All-American bore. The extent with which the school had altered its standards was reflected in the administration's response to the students actions against the U.S. intervention into Cambodia. 9 The U.S. intervention into Cambodia in the spring of 1970 caused the undeclared Vietnam War to become the Southeast Asian War, bringing fear of continued and widening participation by U.S. troops. Student reaction against President Nixon's decision to widen and win the war took the form of student strikes. Over 400 universities and colleges were closed as students attended teach-ins and other forms of demonstration against the government's actions. At Kent State U. in Ohio, four students were slain by National Guardsmen who opened fire on a demonstration. First reactions at GVHS came from U. of M. and St. Louis Park High students, who used lunch hours to give soapbox orations that appeared to be more of an ego trip than sincere commitment. The Student Council was at first content to sponsor an assembly, presenting the pros and cons of the intervention. It was held Monday, May 11, but limited to one hour, ending with the matter unresolved. After the assembly the Student Council held a special meeting and asked for a day of introspection concerning the war. The administration agreed to let any student 10 with parental permission attend seminars around the U. of M. campus or attend a teach-in at Natchez Park (by the school), in place of regular classes. Over 100 students took advantage of the day, though 19 didn't bother with a permission slip and were suspended. The teach-in at Natchez Park was completed by noon. Although one of the guest speakers announced that the strike committee at the U. wanted high school kids to go back to their schools, few of the students present agreed with the committee and went to university demonstrations instead. That morning both the band and choir left on a two day concert tour so by the afternoon less that 200 students were left in school. With enameled lapel flags clashing with flags made into pockets, and concern for a C note contrasted with concern for Cambodia — GV students created a decidedly different and diversified education than had been the case in more placid eras. it ACADEMICS THE BOARD OF EDUCATION: Howard F.

ADMINISTRATION Welcome to T I E S time sharing. Dr. Henry Snyder, replete with bell bottom pants and a Corvette, appointed as assistant principal and director of Ties Computer Program. $3.2 million bond issue put before voters on Nov. 3. To be used for a middle-high school addition, air conditioning, a 600 seat auditorium and repairs to Meadow-brook, it failed 712 to 578. In Jan., Superintendent Howard B. Casmey was ap pointed State Commissioner of Education. Robert Johnston, previously Assistant Superintendent and M.S. Principal, became head administrator. Bond issue divided into three sections and resubmitted to voters in March. Only basic additions were approved. FACULTY Times change and we change with them, wrote British chronicler Raphael Holinshed. The times were changing with space exploration and student involvement, the GV faculty was also changing. It had more students to teach, more audio-visual equipment to teach with and less space available during free periods. Teachers were the first to feel the burden of GV's crowded conditions. When large class sizes resulted in an impersonal education the faculty avidly supported the bond issue. Teachers examined blueprints and gave design suggestions. On several evenings the faculty educated parents on the issue at open houses. When to their dismay the first bond issue failed, teachers campaigned for the improvements with increasing vigor. Faculty members even helped pay for the printing of bumper stickers urging a yes vote from taxpayers. The teachers not only influenced change from the exterior but also tried to improve GV's system of education from the interior. 17 William Anderson • 8and • Choir Harold Flolid • Biology • Physiology • Head Football Coach • Sophomore Class Advisor James Huble • Drama • logic • Poetry •Speech • Spelling • Writing About Literature • Drama Director Robert Lockwood • Geometry • Mathematics Dept., Chairman • Baseball Coach • Junior High Football Coach Bradley Nuorala • Art 1,11,111.

The secretaries had the aid of the computer. When tapes were erased and the infallible computer erred at the complexity of Golden Valley's scheduling problems, the secretaries frantically put the school back in order. As the population exploded, so the cooks found more ravenous mouths to feed. The cooks assumed a maternal role towards students, giving out extra helpings with kind smiles and lunch line anecdotes. It was the fate of Sisyphus to push a rock up a mountain only to have it roll down again. The GV custodians encountered a similar fate, they purged the school of its filth only to have pupils along with harsh weather ruin the nights cleansing. And like Sisyphus, the custodians went on mopping and scrubbing acknowledging the benign indifference of the universe. 1 Camus, Albert, The Stranger. Alfred A.

The entire English curriculum was revamped with the one course a year system being replaced by thirty-one electives, each lasting one quarter. It had been planned to use the TIES computer to unscramble the scheduling difficulties such a system would involve, however, the computer broke down and the English instructors were faced with the individual problems of each student's schedule. Indecisive students added additional grief by causing constant schedule changes. Teachers found the new system challenging as they seldom taught the same course twice in one day. Students were delighted with the diversity of courses and some took as many as eight or nine quarters of English. Many of the courses were open to all four grades, a new experience that proved interesting, if not optimal. The English department felt that grades were not a proper incentive in highly subjective classes and were reluctant to give marks. Humanities in the Western World, the only full-year English class was not graded until the end of the year, in Mr. Mossberg's mini-crusade against grades. 23 e) Enveloped in the sounds pleasurable of music Mr. Mossberg and his humanities class sit back and listen. MATHEMATICS Math instructors proved to students that there is a fun and practical side to math, bringing a little relaxation to the tribulations of computation. Donald Hagberg's gifts of candy and freedom from strict discipline allowed advanced math students to have informal and questioning class sessions. Algebra II students were fed a diet of graphing radicals, logarithms and trigonometric functions from Homer Moeller. Each student created a bulletin board explaining some aspect of math in an entertaining way. The heights of buildings and trees provided challenges for new found skills in trigonometry. Robert Lockwood's geometry classes provided amusement as students modeled space figures and learned how to make curves from straight lines. Freshmen who had received their Algebra I training in eighth grade proved to be tough competitors in every way except geometric size. Algebra I scholars discovered that solving problems neccesitated a large supply of paper and erasers. Mr. Moeller's General Math explored the use of mathematics in everyday life. a) Imitating Bob Lockwood. Cary Herstein makes fun with fellow conspirator Mark Jaffe. bj Bill Bfonigan and John Hass consult Mr. Moeller as Jim Omans struggles alone. c) Dave Larson fakes to the board to complete an algebraic equation. d) Mr. Lockwood uses his hall monitor — conference period to help Mike LaMofte with geometric figures. 2 4 25 j) fuily Kleinman apprehensively follows a lab manual's instructions. b) It takes a delicate dexterity to get a scale lo read what it is supposed to, Karen Weit will testify to that. c] Mr. Rannells asks, Would the owner of this Botany-Zoology paper please stand up? I 26 SCIENCE Golden Valley science classes shunned their stereotype of being automated and dehumanized as personality and warmth pervaded the scientific atmosphere. Due to lack of space, a middle school storage room served as the clubhouse for the secret order of physics students. The theory of limits in applied calculus was conceptualized with the funny chart as the ratio of Donald Hagberg's good to bad jokes approached zero. A new book, the obligations of the candy bowl, tough tests and the constant threat of the squirt bottle and the rubber hose kept Uncle Don one step ahead of his wary students. Harold Flolid's physiology students cut up everything from sharks to crayfish; even human fingers were pierced in order to take blood samples. Junior chemists in David Rude's classes became skillful with the experimental method of trial and error. Analogies gave chemistry a figurative, almost poetic, quality. Tenth graders learned about meiosis and mitosis, explored the microscopic world and investigated frogs and pigs with scalpels. Sophomores also became acquainted with diurnal lepidoplerous insects through their butterfly collections. With new curriculum, equipment and experiments, David Rude and Arnold Hermanson combined the mysteries of chemistry and physics into ninth grade science. d) Nancy Dale deftly points out the location and use of muscles to her e) Mr. Hagbcrg, too lazy to hide in the lavatory, lights up a candy ciga-physiology class. rette in class. f Rather than experiment with LSD. Sue Kirchbaum expands her mind with science. 27 SOCIAL STUDIES Politics, the new-found diversion of youth, created an environment conducive to helping young minds realize the death of traditional social studies. Dates and geography were replaced with comparisons of government, fiscal systems and the search for the good life. Richard Purrier introduced the freshmen to a political science course covering leadership, decision making, ideology, institutions and citizenship. The human mind is our fundamental resource. With this philosophy, Walter Kimble sought to build a foundation of American History in the sophomoric minds. Daily lectures, films, panel discussions, assorted gems, Kimble cliches and Afro-American studies gave students the background of our society. Taking the conceptual viewpoint of past events was Tom Benepe in World History. Students completed reports investigating various historical aspects of civilizations, relating these to current world conditions. The complex social and political problems of our time were dealt with by Peter Simonson's Modern Problems class, exposing seniors to the dilemmas of society. 28 a) Merry Bohn searches the resources of the library for information pertaining to her term paper. b) A demonstration of the Cop-ernican theory, this World History report reaches theatrical proportions. The earth played by Alan Witebsky, and Venus, Steve Crews, revolve around the son brilliantly portrayed by Mark Stephenson. Kick Hellwig commentates. c) Mr. Benepe makes sure the video tape machine is operating correctly before recording his students' reports. d) Mr. Kimble helping Gail Wold increase her ever expanding file. e) Marty Mastel, Stephanie Dur-da, Scott Eales and George Wcfel enlighten their fellow students with research on the American communist party. f) Brian Weist and David Schumacher study an important Supreme Court case. 29 FOREIGN LANGUAGES German students of all levels ploughed through endless pages of work and songsheets, practicing grammatical skills and folk songs. The German V class memorized poems during a unit on lyric poetry and learned other aspects of the German culture. They also prepared and ate a very sticky cheese fondue. All German students practiced their speaking skills with prepared and impromptu speeches. The lusty singing of the German classes was often heard throughout the school. After an unsuccessful attempt at dancing the polka during German Club initiation, Mrs. Wivell spent one day teaching her classes to polka rather than gallop. 'Tiens, Tiens, Zut!' was an often used phrase by French students as they grappled with preceding direct objects and participle agreement; however, French class was never a drudgery as students ate French cheeses, bread and omelets with slugs of cider in order to gain an appreciation of French lifestyle. French III and IV classes visited the art institute during a unit on impressionism and listened to several guest speakers. Vocabulary was learned with “original art drawn on the overhead projector. Once into the elite French IV class, the great philosophic and literary heritage of France could be explored and discussed in French, of course. a) Mil vielen Austruck urges Frau Wivell,as Ken Rholl, Dee Langley, Lisa Bergquisl, Nancy Leonard and Randy Ewald dramatize a German III conversation. bl 8rian Weist, Bob Serr and Martin Paisner sit through another session with the language lab. c) French class learns lazily in the afternoon sun. 30 MUSIC Es spirit de corps, belonging, to be part of a whole working for the common cause is a need that must be satisfied. Aristotle said that man is basically a social animal, organizing into groupings to politic, pray or make music. The band and choir seemed to fulfill this gregarious desire. The band's repertoire included a wide variety of renditions from the Russian Sailor's Dance and Strauss' Eighth Symphony to Hey Look Me Over and The Stripper. The all-boy chorus line was resurrected for the Halloween concerts and like its predecessors in years gone by, stole the show. William Anderson sought to give band and choir new images as the choir abandon their robes in favor of Halloween costumes or ski outfits for their performances. The band changed their usual concert routine by marching into the cafeteria and around the audience. 31 g) Lee Prchal cautions Mark Stephenson about disturbing Mr. Anderson while he is studying a score. To instill in his students a basic appreciation for craftsmanship and precision, Leland Gillogly chose a variety of means. Industrial Arts class had each student designing and constructing a model of a two-bedroom lake cabin. In Auto and Power Mechanics the students revamped lawnmowers to their peak performance. Architectural Drafting III people designed suburban homes that they would someday like to live in. They then built the homes in scale proportion. All of Golden Valley was taken on as a joint design project by the Architectural Drafting IV and V classes Special attention was paid to the problem area of Win netka and the Golden Valley shopping center. a) Prospective homemaker Mark Oakland, one of three boys to take home economics, puts away his electric mixer while his female classmates are still preparing their assignment. b) Ron Nelson finds mechanics to his liking as he refurbishes a Toro. c) Greg Mellberg sands his invention of a winter skateboard. INDUSTRIAL ARTS 32 HOME ECONOMICS Between the startling discovery of bugs in the flour and frantic searches for pot holders, the girls in Home Economics 1 managed to learn the basic concepts of kitchen and time management. The class centered around luncheons, breads, salads and simple desserts. They also experimented with cake decorating. The course also included beginning sewing instruction and a unit on interior decorating. In the spring the students were able to enjoy barbecueing on the new gas grill. Advanced Home Economics was divided into two classes, foods and clothing, which allowed for a more detailed study of each. The girls in clothing could sew any project of their own choosing. An interesting variety of styles and materials were chosen for suits, winter coats, dresses and slacks. Some of the girls experimented sewing lingerie. The foods class was infiltrated by three males who came up with at least one interesting delicacy, rattle-snake meat. The course was based on dinners preluded by the study of breads, salads, meats and fancy desserts. Near the end of the year, a unit in home and family living, which included preparation for marriage, was offered. d) Colleen Falkers puls her motherly instincts to use with sewing. e) Future architect Wes Melander tears off a sheet of Vellum paper. 33 BUSINESS D.O. LLLeeeaaarrrnnniiinnnggg to type is important for students, space, return carriage; the skills developed in shorthand can provide job opportunities. With these thoughts in mind, Stanley Hanson employed his fast tongue and timer to insure speed and accuracy from shorthand and typing students. Business math students investigated the nou-ances of high finance, gaining experience with bookkeeping and practical applications of math. The Marketing and Merchandising course attempted to clarify the complex theories and practices of a free enterprises system for its pupils. Speakers and field trips to local firms helped illuminate the behind the counter subject. Don't knock it, if you haven't tried it was the attitude of the Diversified Occupations class. D. O. students were required to hold a job during the school year, working a minimum of fifteen hours per week. Their occupational experiences proved helpful in determining or eliminating career choices. a) In the midst of a last minute shopping spree proprietor, Dana Hedtke, waits on her customers. b) Bob Sargent observes the fine typing technique of John Schimdt and Tom Christenson before attempting to hit the keyboard. c) Marketing and merchandising class added a realistic touch, students created their own display window. 34 ART Coming from Superior, Wise. Bradley Noura-la, often mistakenly called Mr. Norelco, began his GV teaching career. It was Mr. Nourala's philosophy that budding young artists should have a strong background in the elements of design. The five art classes saw many movies and spent many hours drawing the assemblage, a conglomeration of bottles, baskets, a female mannequin, a stuffed rabbit, a skull and other odds and ends. Individuals, encouraged to creativity, experimented with new ideas and developed unique aggregates of rug hooking, sprockets and electrical combing. Students brought records to lend a creative atmosphere and at times witnessed a little soft shoe: Mr. Nourala couldn't resist the urge to dance. When the aesthetic values of the movement to remove lunch room paintings arose, the art classes provided original substitutes. Foyers became everchanging galleries of student art, so the student body was exposed more than ever before to the artist's conception. d) Dave Campbell in a slate of transcendental creativity, concentrates on the assemblage. e) Mr. Nourala gives Larry Sullivan a helpful hint on the rudiments of sketching. f) Kay Sargent assumes an artist's pose while transferring her aesthetic impressions to the canvas. 35 PHY. ED. Although physical education was not an accredited subject, its educational stimulus was ever present. Locker room conversation varied from getting the previous hour's test questions to profound but mainly profane dissertations. Sluffing off evolved into a fine art as adroit phy. eders. would feign daily exercises. Psychologically speaking, phy. ed. provided an outlet for frustrations and hostilities. One could vent his aggressive tendencies and build his ego by wrestling, bombarding or playing soccer. More passive activities, such as volleyball, archery and swimming, gave freshmen and sophomores an opportunity for some good old fun. a) Frosh girls partake in furious deck tennis competition, Lydia MacDonald leaps and misses the ring and Patty Babcock backs her up, teammates Jenni Berg and Susan Kirschbaum look on. b) The sophomore boys show the various positions of doing pushups, Positional; knees on floor. Position = 2; ass elevated. Position st3; the orthodox method. 36 c) Dan Lutz's braille books occupy the shelves of his library hideaway. d) Scott Rubin mans the videotape machine and intensly watches the replay to perfect his focus on basketball action. e) Mrs. Stiegler and her students pause from mirroring difficult sounds and smile for the camera. SPECIAL EDUCATION AUDIO VISUAL Rolling one's tongue and making weird sounds might seem to be unusual activities but for lone Stiegler's speech theory classes such exercises were instrumental for the perfection of r, s or th sounds. As a sort of test the speech class would speak before a group and discuss the stuttering problem, giving the speakers an opportunity to use their instruction and audiences gained an understanding of the stutterer. The boob tube was viewed by many students as the video tape machine underwent frequent use. The system allowed speakers to be taped for latter use by GV classes. Students and teachers could see the effectiveness of their presentations by reviewing a tape. The school took part in an experimental program with KTCA-TV whereby academic short subjects could be ordered by phone. The programs would be sent through a coding device to the school's videotape machine that night. The next day a tape would be ready for showing. 37 ORGANIZATIONS CORNF.TS AND TRUMPETS ROW ONE: Julio Cavanaugh, Judd Omens, Stove Kramz, Dee Langley; ROW TWO: Dan Nord, Mike Durda, Mike Pilgram, Ralph Shapiro, Dave Campbell.

BAND Nothing spectacular occured for the band as it continued as one of the largest and most time-consuming extracurricular activities. It was a mundane year with a few highpoints scattered among uneventful practice sessions under Mr. A's relaxed leadership. Showing an unexpected tinge of radicalism, the band's first memorable event was shouting gore-filled cheers at the Homecoming game, mocking violence-oriented cheers. The Christmas concert, held after the initial defeat of the bond issue was used as a form of subtle protest. The concert was held in the gym, with no decorations but the bare gym floor to stress the holiday spirit and the school's need for an auditorium. A spring concert, held in April, was the biggest production of the year, featuring a fountain, side-walk cafes for reserved seating and a huge crepe paper gazebo. Band trip plans diminished from talk of St. Louis to a two-day junket to southern Minnesota. Three stars, signifying superior rating, were won by the band on both a district and state level. Mr. Anderson was especially pleased because the band contained an unusually large number of underclassmen. 40 PERCUSSION ROW ONE: Jane Hogan, Lynn Worwa; ROW TWO: Kevin Swanson, Gary Herstein.

A question raised Caused careful consideration. Truly amazed. The unprepared sank into hasty deliberation. Hollow men Found this not their place For then The quick of wit set the pace. The truth was sought. And, brandishing swords of reason. Students fought. In spring, fall or any other season. When time came To end discussion of the poem They all did the same: Refusing to mourn, they went home. a) As a member's dog strolls through an informal poetry dub session Mr. Borgerding and Rusty Rockier listen to a record of Emily Dickenson. b) The Think by (ill Green framed the industrial shape of Steve Dritsas. c Utilizing Mr. Nuorala's offer of Saturday morning workshops, John Lindcman works on an acrylic composition as Gary Westeen awaits an artistic inspiration. 4 2 ART CLUB The art club faced the problems that affected other GV clubs: apathy andjimited funds. Its initial goals were ambitious, to attend at least one local art exhibit per month. The year's excitement would culminate with a trip to Chicago. To help finance the costly Chicago excursion, a sale of student art was to take place. Members were reluctant to part with their aesthetic creations and the art sale, along with Chicago hopes failed. Only a few members attended the Rembrandt and cubist exhibits at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. The avant-garde Gallery 12 got a similar response. By February, even officers admitted the original club's demise. GV art lovers then turned their interests from viewing art to creating it. Bradley Nourala, art instructor, made the school's art facilities available to any student wishing to drop by on Saturday mornings.

A smaller than usual, close-knii band Of students, taking their music in hand, formed a choir. II. At Chistmas time they carolled for The optimists and at the banker's door in Robbinsdale. III. Two pop concerts put on with the band Were presented by the choir in the fall and spring of the year. IV. With bags packed for a one-night stay The choir got in a Greyhound and went away with the band. 43 DEUTSCHE VEREIN Die Einfiihrung das Deutschen Vereins fand in spat September statt. Das gab den Anfanger eine Gelegenheit, ihre Talente zu zeigen. Sie wurden in grosse Gruppen eingeteilt, einen Theme gegeben, und in Zehn Minuten mussten sie Skizze dar-aus machen. Zum Beispiel, „Ein Besuch zum Zahnarzt , „Zehn Leute in einem VW und „Eine Reise zum Mond. Schuler in der Gruppe, die die schlechteste Skizze gemacht haben, mussten das lange Wort zur Strafe sagen — Das Gewissenlos-merkwurdigkeitundaufhaltsamworwursfreiunumschranktberu-hmtglaubensbekenninis. Die armen Anfanger wurden zuErfris-chungen eingeladen. Alle tranken Apfelsaft und assen Platzch-en. Spater sangen sie viele Lieder und tanzten die Polka. Am dreiundzwangzigsten Oktober hatte der deutsche Ver-ein eine Halloween Partie mit dem franzosischen Verein. Alle Leute kamen in Kostiimen alter Art. Keith Anderson, der wie ein Vagabond gekleidet war, hatte den ersten Preis gewonnen. Dann hatten die vielen Hexen und Geister Kurbisse geschnit-ten. Alles war durcheinander aber es gab viele Kunstwerke. Die Schuler in der fiinften Klasse lehrten alien das Lied „Peter$ Brunelle. Nach den Erfrischungen (Platzchen und Apfelsaft) sprangen alle wie Pferde im Saal herum. In Wirklichkeit soil das die Lichtensteiner Polka gewesen sein. Die Weihnachts Partie am neunten Dezember wurde mit den A.F.S. und franzosisch Vereinen gefeiert. Jeder musste eine Weihnachlsbaumverzierung als Eintrittspfand bringen. Viele Leute kamen und unser Tannenbaum war sehr schon. Als die „Pinata gebrochen wurde, haben alle Leute nach den Siis-sigkeiten gegriffen. Die Erfrischungen bestanden aus einem kalten Getrank mit Platzchen. Alle haben Weihnachtsm-annpapiertiiten fiir Kinder im Krankenhaus gemacht.

LECERCLE FRANCAIS Dans sa douzieme annee, le cercle francais essayait, comme loutes les autres annees, de devenir ires grand et int£ressant. L'annee a commence avec beaucoup d'-enthousiasme et plusieurs plans. On a diminue les redevances d'un dollar 3 vingt-cinq sous, et on a change le costume a quelque chose plussemblable aux costumes tradition-aux de provinces. Beaucoup de personnes ont dit que les jeunes filles ressemblaient aux blanchisseusses. La premiere activity a ete I'initiation des nouveaux members. Pour leurs tortures, les inities ont du manger des omelettes avaient du colorant vert, beaucoup de sel et de poivre, ou des decorations de gateau. Pendant que les vieux assistants faisaient cuire des omelettes, les inities inventaient des parodies impromptues. Le groupe de Dennis Wal-laker a gagnt? le prix en flanant parmi les assistants, en battant les mains aux rythmes varies, et en disant, “Que je suis betel lls ont fini leur acte en formant une pyramide. A cause d'une manque d'argent le cercle francais s'est joint avec le club allemand et le club d'AFS pour les deux activites suivantes. La soiree d'Halloween a ete avec le club allemand. Les assistants ont eu un concours des chansons, et ils ont sculpte des citrouilles. Le meilleur parmi elles a et£ le prix. Pour la soiree de Noel, les clubs ont casse des pinatas qui versaient des bonbons pur tout le monde. lls ont decore des cornets et ont apporte des cadeaux pour les enfants de Cambridge.

Cathy Gorlin, Mike LaMotte, Gary Juster. FTA With the state and district YDFL's falling apart in an off election year, GV's chapter of the young democrats sought to maintain its relevance. YDFL sponsored issue oriented speakers and presentations which would give Golden Valley students an awareness of world problems, their complexity and possible solutions. Foremost among the issues were race relations, war and ecology. Speakers from both the Indian and Black communities examined the racial question. Movies and slide presentations helped express the opposing viewpoints on the Vietnam war, academic freedom, life in Cuba and prison reform to mention only a few of the many areas probed by YDFL inquiries. Discussion was always opened to the floor at some point during a meeting. Poignant questions often aroused heated debates as students shed their traditional apathy and became involved. The primary purpose of GV's YDFL was thus accomplished. Future Teachers of America has had the reputation of being a blas£ organization. FTA seems to have undergone a reformation with the new decade. Provocative meetings about controversial didactic issues have subsidized the usual GV faculty lectures on the teaching profession. Following its belief that the school is deeply involved with social issues, FTA co-sponsored meetings with YDFL. Educational reform, civil liberties and Indian culture were some of the diverse topics. Visiting the Mon-tessori school and student exchange programs exposed members to a variety of teaching philosophies. FTAers also promoted education within GV. They corrected tests and tape recorded a library of reading material enabling students to gain proficiency by reading and listening to a literary work simultaneously. d) FTA; KNEELING; Pres.

Gene Berg spent a summer abroad and Caroline Polak studied a year at GV. Caroline, who came from Holland, fit easily into GV life with a ready smile and a fine command of the English language. She participated in many American activities such as Halloween parties and the Sadie Hawkins dance. She also captained the GV girls tennis team. After a crash course in Japanese, Gene Berg spent his summer in Kaisuyama, Japan. His Japanese experiences provided him with many cultural observations and comparisons. Gene participated in Japanese activities ranging from baths to judo. AFS club began the year with a tea to meet Caroline. For Christmas, the all-girl club joined French and German club members in making Santa Claus bags for needy children, breaking pinatas and pampering their stomachs. To create good will, the club also caroled at Yuletide. Their house to house trek was usually rewarded with Christmas goodies. The club year could thus be summed up as a year of dine, women and song.

Viking chiefs-of-staff, Gene Berg and John Anderson led a valiant crusade for a spring book, only to be thwarted in their campaign to have the book available to seniors at graduation by missed deadlines. Over a month late with their first deadline, the copy-reading two-some fought a losing battle with the calendar. They were often to be seen in Room 103 — after school, holidays, weekends, whenever time was to be had — pen in hand, busily writing and or laying out. But in the yearbook game, diligence does not always insure victory. If victory was denied them, it is only because John and Gene were seriously hindered in their effort by a lack of support from back home. There were some loyal followers of the cause — Laurie Amundson, Jill Green and Debby Frenzel — but for the most part, they were fighting an unpopular war. Often, the editors themselves were forced to do the work of their non-existant subordinates. They could be seen reconnoitering, camera in hand, at student council meetings, or even on the front at football games and the like. At times they were discouraged. They considered troop withdrawal. But motivated by a sense of duty they stuck it out to the end. Thus, from the perspective of history, although the battle was lost, the war was won and the 1970 Viking emerged victorious. a) Viking co-editors. Gene Berg and john Anderson, pound out their yearbook. b) After finally completing paste-ups editor Flum and Cathy Gorlin release tension by assembling a MacDonald's straw aqueduct from the drinking fountain to the journalism room. c) Tired out from long hours of hard work, Jill Green restfully designs a yearbook division page. d) Mr. Saunders consults Paul Flum on the paper's police story while staffers Julie Noren and Laurie Moses react to Paul's plight. SO THE VALLEY VIEWER The insidious threat of communism reared its ugly head amid the halls of GV, as a prolific cell spread the word from Room 103. Published about once a month under the direction of cell leader Paul Flum, Flum's Paper, alias the Valley Viewer, attacked all that decent folk hold dear. In a calculated plan to destroy American tradition, the publication nearly ignored Homecoming, tossing it aside with a one-liner brief. Then, the paper had the blatant nerve to question the activities of the patriotic men of the GV police force. It questioned their attendance at GV football games with a story and a viscious caricature. The effete snobs then mentioned that the police were notoriously racist. Thanks only to the fast action of Principal Saunders, the student body was protected from the Viewer's next act of un-Americanism. He confiscated the Viewer's Christmas ad supplement, saving virgin eyes from the questionable tastes of some student-produced ads. No doubt the paper had hoped to expose the students to the degradation that the commies know will hasten the country's demise. e) The Viewer brain trust: editors Stu Gitis, Julie Noren, Cathy Gorlin and Gwen Kastor (missing Ralph Flum) with the camera-conscious leader Paul Flum. Finally exposing itself as a vile instrument of destruction, the publication questioned respect for the wisdom of elders. In an editorial about the confrontation between a plastic tommy-gun wielding junior and an instructor, the paper suggested that they might have been equally to blame, though only the student had been punished. Near the end of the year, the Valley Viewer was awarded an All-American rating by the High School Press Association. Little did they know of that cell's true purpose. f) Deep in the dank darkroom, Fred Serr evokes images Jrom his lilm. j) fakiriR the council to the people, only diehard stick out an alter school meeting. b) With the tools of her trade, Dana Hedkte, combines materials and experience on her D.O. vocation.

STUDENT COUNCIL Armed with a policy of activism, the student council involved itself in many activities ignored in previous years. After endless debates, CV's student government managed to institute some mundane changes such as boosting the price of ice cream and installing vending machines. Ethereal changes were also suggested. Cafeteria paintings were replaced with some having more aesthetic value and music was offered as an alternative to school bells. The by-word of the council became appoint a committee as numerous committees did the council's gut work. Scandal and controversy, essentials of any political sys- tem, were aroused with the threatened impeachment of several council members for their support of a motion to abolish the honor roll. However, the council pacified GVers with its most effective piece of legislation, an independent study program designed to overcome GV's limited curriculum. '69 election speeches professed that GVers lived a narrow existence which could be expanded. The council followed up those promises through the work of the assembly committee which treated GV to a stimulating program of concerts and speakers. A thrice-stolen suggestion box was made available to students with constructive ideas. Although a smoking lounge seemed to be the most persistent suggestion, the box exemplified the council's attempts to hear and act upon the grumblings of the masses.

Regular meetings were held during class time and officers were elected each quarter to give everyone a chance at leadership development. Parlimentary procedures and the development of the ability to conduct meetings and handle business were stressed. Highlights of the club year included the state and national competitive events in the Distributive Education Clubs of America, the Vocational and Industrial Clubs of America and the Office Education Clubs of America, where students competed in activities such as marketing terminology, retail selling, advertising, typing, short hand, mechanical dexterity and small engine repair. When DECA held its national convention in Minneapolis this year, GV students helped host some 5,000 conventioneers from around the United States. DRIVERS COUNCIL Cold, snow, vicious owners and hidden windshield wipers were the causes of concern for the advisor appointed Traffic Safety Council. The Coun-‘cil's main purpose was dispensing parking stickers and warnings to those who failed to obtain them. The Council also attempted to increase student awareness of safety rules with posters on the Student Council bulletin board and a spring safety assembly. At one meeting, the eight members discussed ways of bettering police-student relationships. After deciding that the bad relations were as much the fault of the police as that of the students, no further action was taken. An additional responsibility of the Council was deciding the fate of students who were seen driving recklessly on the school roads, as they were able to suspend driving privileges for various periods. Hl-Y Notoriously known for their boozers, CV's Hi-Y organizations attempted to change their reputation or at least establish a facade. The program was represented by a club from each grade; The Rising Sons, The Syndicate, The Clan and The Y's Guys. With refrains of all riiiiight and gaudy purple hockey jerseys, the clubs gained group identification. Led by seniors who held three offices in COPS, the executive board of GV Hi-Ys, clubs were active sponsoring speakers, a Snow Day, joint sessions with Y-Teens, their female counterparts, and overnights at the YMCA. Following in an old tradition passed down from one Hi-Y generation to another, The Rising Sons combined humor with erotica at a pepfest skit, satirizing Homecoming fans. The Y's Guys staged an encore featuring Bruce Meland's see-through gym shorts. The clubs also participated in community service projects ranging in scope from working on the Goodwill clothing drive to cutting down on their smoking. a) The freshmen Hi-Y, half of them in drag, mock GV swimming and smooching techniques. b) THE CLAN; SITTING: Ralph Flum, Gary Halvorson, Doug Karon; ROW TWO: Greg Mel-berg, Louie Binder, Dan Myers, Andre Blanc, Brad Erickson, Kurt Kueffner, Jim Kleinman. c) THE Y'S GUYS; ROW ONE: Kirby Jones, Steve Blonigan, Jim Hass, Mark Mastel, Mark Mills, Kurt Meyers, Mark Eggleston.

An assistant is a red suit among many blue suits, a friend to many and a despised teacher to others. He is loyal, sacrificing a study hall to supervise swimming pool activities when he could diligently be doing homework. A water safety assistant is friendly, devoting Saturday mornings to teaching children, some of whom are more adroit than he, how to swim. A WSAer is brave since his class has the perpetual urge to push him into the pool. WSAers gained several useful qualities from their experiences, a creative intellect to devise excuses for truancy, the ability to reach the high school ir. record time and a reason to enter the air-conditioned Middle School on hot days.

The decision to take only one overnight trip coupled with the restrictions and fines due to misbehavior on last year's trips were factors that contributed to a deficiency of juniors and seniors. A ski club soc hop was cancelled and an equipment sale failed when only eight items were donated and a fewer number of browsers attended. However, trips to Hardscrabble, Mt. Telemark and Sugar Hills towed good attendance and allowed some members to improve their wedlen turns. Over Spring vacation, the GV shussboomers graduated from hills to mountains, sojourning to Red Lodge, Mont. GV ski bum, Beth Segal, felt that despite all of the club's shortcomings, the Montana trip compensated with great skiing. AQUATIC ARTISTS The spirit of Esther Williams lives in the form of the GV Aquatic Artists. Starting early in the school year, the group practiced for their spring performance of water ballet this year using a theme of signs of the zodiac. The girls spent more time in the water than in previous years, hoping to eliminate the weeknight and weekend practices that were necessary with the 1969 show. Mrs. Jensen and Miss Minelli, the group's directors, also felt that the girls would then be able to try more difficult stunts and moves. One of the group's more novel acts included a human mill wheel which circled perpendicularily to the water-line, keeping the members under water a great deal. 57 PF.P CLUB; ROW ONE: P. Kahn, M.

Comprised mostly of freshmen and sophomore girls, the Club dedicated itself to spreading school spirit at athletic functions. The cheerleaders channeled the group's raw enthusiasm by teaching the girls a variety of school cheers. Required to attend all GV football games, a boisterous Pep Club bleacher section developed. During the winter and spring seasons a girl could choose her favorite sport to support, but potential club hacks and hangers-on were discouraged by the strict taking of attendance at all activities. Members continued to show their talents and artistic abilities by performing skits at pepfests and making signs advertising athletic contests. LETTERMEN GV's lettermen formed a seemingly clandestine club. Nothing was seen nor heard of them throughout the year, until the jungle wire (the telephone chain) had it that there would be a banquet honoring notorious individuals of the organization. Members of any gang know the value placed upon loyalty and guest speaker, professional football player Aaron Brown of the Kansas City Chiefs reiterated the importance of dedication. After their convention the group once again returned to the silence of the underground. NHS; ROW ONE: M. Johnson, pros. J. Leonard, M.Paisnor, C. Hvass, R. Flum; ROW TWO: J. Dicrson, R. Herstand, C.

NHS Usually dubbed as a quiet do nothing organization, the National Honor Society attempted to increase its impact on GVHS. Aside from manning the school book store. Professor Mulford Q. Sibley, Robert T. Smith and Professor Robert Poor were invited to speak on civil disobedience, journalism and art. When GV was confronted with an excessively qualified group of seniors, the fifteen percent senior class membership quota was removed. Thus permittng all seniors with the required 3.4 grade point average and the necessary leadership, character and service qualities to belong. Another change was the elimination of the traditionally inspiring candlelight induction ceremony. Instead initiates were requested several days in advance to join in the society's annual banquet. The twenty-two new members were initiated at McCarthy's restaurant before parents, teachers and friends. Several routine meetings aroused controversy and criticism concerning the value of NHS honor roll parties. Feeling that the parties provided educational incentives the festivities were maintained. a) Gelling down lo the essence o the evening, Marlin Pjisner, surrounded by bread and drink, savors the banquet. b) Anticipating her role in the induction ceremony, Julie N'oren and her father wait her introduction. c) Finished with the suspense of her induction, Dobby Barlow and her proud parents sit down to a relaxing meal. d) The National Honor Society caught at an after school meeting to discuss the values of honor roll parties and forthcoming speakers. 59 DECLAMATION TEAM; Coach Mossberg, Gene Berg, Cathy Gorlin, Laurie Os-trow. (missing Herb Pieper and Mark laffe). DECLAMATION Governed by the same strict rules as athletes, an unheralded five set upon a crusade for laurel and glory in the name of Golden Valley High School. The highly specialized GV declamation delegation participated in only two of the eight speaking categories. Herb Pieper, the only veteran declamer, and Gene Berg explicated Minnesota's pollution problem in group discussion. Laurie Ostrow, Cathy Gorlin and Mark Jaffe read selections from Cannery Row, The Grapes of Wrath and The Zoo Story respectively in the serious nterpretation of poetry and prose division. The team's success was limited as declamation was a new experience for most, but at the MVC speech contest Berg and Jaffe were awarded A ratings for their endeavors. The entire team emerged victorious at the sub-district competitions and proceeded to the district where they were all eliminated. .)) Reading an excerpt from Steinbeck's GRAPES OF WRATH, Cathy Gorlin also reads the reaction of her audience. bl Negative debaters Gene Berg and David Borchert hastily sort through their debate box for the information necessary to expose the fallacious arguments of their opponents. c) After svinning an honorable mention and a tsvo and a half hour drive from Morris, Minn., Coach Simonson and his taciturn team ravenously dig into a well-earned meal. d) I loved the dog now and I wanted him to love me,” emphasized Mark laffe in his reading of Jerry and the Dog. THE FORENSIC SOCIETY The forensic society survived long, early-morning car rides and Coach Simonson's smoking to win an honorable mention in the Morris tournament and to narrowly miss a berth in the regional debates. The affirmative speakers, Marc Herstand and James Clark, contended that 1) the power of the president was dangerously out of proportion with that of Congress and 2) that military intervention was self-defeating, illegal and unjust. They therefore stood resolved that: Congress should prohibit unilateral U.S. military intervention in foreign countries. Arguing the other side of the resolution were negative speakers David Borchert and Gene Berg. It was their contention that unilateral military intervention (UMI) was a viable policy option and that the diplomatic philosophy of communist containment was the rationalization for the misuses of UMI. The negative team moved that rather than prohibit UMI it should be redirected. Lack of experience caused an exasperating season as the team lost close decisions and could not put their victories together to bring home a trophy. However, the team gained eloquence and finished their last three tournaments with more wins than losses.

FOOTBALL A TRYING SEASON For the 1969 football season, seventy boys sacrificed two weeks of vacation for the gruelling degradations of calisthenics and getting into shape. However, camaraderie and a jocular spirit held the Vikings together. Frustrations continued into the season as the Vikes would march from one twenty-yard marker to the other and still not score. A fumble or a penalty at opportune moments often severed their momentum. With lots of hard work and the patience of GV's five coaches, the team acquired a tough defense, a potent passing attack and crunching blockers. Together with some hard-hard nosed running and some key grabs the scrappy team accumulated a 5-4 season. Captains Dan Trustem and John McCracken, along with Greg Meland, who picked up the most defensive points, made the All-Conference team. Aside from their fine football abilities, the good nature of captains Trustem and McCracken deserved commendation as they tolerated numerous pranks topped off with the climactic last-practice stripping. Considering the large number of bad breaks and the small number of returning lettermen, Head Coach Harold Flolid concluded, We had an exceptionally good season. 64 Croce Northfield Shakopee Buffalo St. Anthony Eden Prairie Orono Chaska Waconia STANDINGS Orono Shakopee Eden Prairie GOLDEN VAllEY St. Anthony Buffalo Waconia Chaska a) Quarterback Dave Bohlinescrambles. b) The Golden Valley line of John Mariucci, John McCracken, Jim Mills and Andre Blanc await their prey. c) There are only three ways to take down Dan Trustem. d) Golden Valley coaches fire up tired Vikings. 65 b STANDINGS of the FINAL MVC MEET St. Anthony 35 Chaska 60 Shakopee 84 Buffalo 88 Orono 112 GV 148 Eden Prairie 176 ROW ONE: Richard Gulstrand, Bob Anderson, Tom McAdam; ROW' TWO: Coach Purrier, Kevin Hume, Doug Svenkerud, Scott Loomis, Bill Blonigan. CROSS COUNTRY Aesop's maxim that there is always someone worse off then yourself was most applicable in the '69 cross country season. The six man team went through the entire season without placing last in any of its meets. Led by sophomore Richard Gulstrand, who finished seventeenth individually, GV runners placed sixth out of seven ranks in the conference meet. In their five other meets, the Vikes placed in positions, close to, but never dead last. Coaching his first year of cross country, Richard Purrier, felt that, even though no medals were won, much progress was made towards individual improvement. CHEERLEADERS GV cheerleaders were girls dedicated to promoting school spirit. With even such creative devices as skits, balloons, signs, a megaphone and a spirit jug, they sometimes found it difficult to keep smiling. Pretending to ignore jeers and criticisms they did their best to instill zest and spirit in an inappreciative student body. The varsity leaders, chosen in the spring, practiced over the summer.

The more determined the effort, the farther they sank into the ooze of defeat. The team had only three returning lettermen: Captain Dave Campbell, Pat Drewelovv and John Hass. They led the team in rebounds, scoring and free throws, respectively. Our team is rather inexperienced, but with hard work and a little luck we may finish high in the standings, predicted Coach Arnie Femrite at the season's start. This optimism began to haunt Coach Femrite with the traditional game that portends the future: GV vs. Benilde. In the past, GV exhibited less ability than Ben-ilde, but this year a lot less as the Vikings lost resoundingly 88-34. Undaunted by the significance of their nonconference loss, the Vikes threw out their chests along with their fathers' advice, and prepared for new confrontations. An exasperating season followed with eleven losses and one meager victory. Discouraged, yet loyal, fans sensing the tone of the season, began betting on the number of points GV cagers would give up. But these results caused the team to work even harder. They could be seen on Saturdays and over winter break shooting and dribbling. Yes, people remember many great moments in history such as the day they put that first box of Tide in the Maytag automatic. There is now one more date which will be written indelibly into the minds of GV sports fans — February, Friday the 13th, 1970. There was some speculation about the role of the supernatural on that day when GV's Vikings beat Shakopee (the team tied for second place) by a score of 45-43. When the buzzer sounded and bookmakers were busily counting their profits, the victorious team was swarmed by dazed, but jubilant, GVers. Many fans sympathized with the hapless team throughout the year. At the season's conclusion several parties were thrown in order to reward the players for their earnest endeavors and possibly to offer them an escape from reality.

WRESTLING A Season of Unforgettable Moments Inspired by Coach Hanson's famous words, Ya gotta go out there from the word go, the '69-70 GV wrestlers couldn't help but win. Honors and victories were numerous as the Vikes wrestled their way to the runner-up spot in the MVC. Mike Chambers, Mark and Mike Stephenson, Dave Bohline, Greg Meland, John Mariucci and Dave Dresser were selected to the all-conference team. The matmen continued in their winning ways in the post season tournaments. Mariucci, Dresser and Bohline took honors in the District 18 and Region 5 wrestle-offs, proceeding to the State Tourney. When winning matches became routine, grapplers devised the fastest pin competition to alleviate their drudgery. But Dave Dresser's startling twelve second pin quickly ended the contest and boredom set in once again. Another unforgettable moment was The Great Peaches Scandal at the Mound match. After the nights endeavors, grapplers, delerious from famine and fatigue, discovered an oasis of peaches. Tipped off by a janitor's clue, Sherlock Stan apprehended the reivers and turned over the loot. 1%9-70 Wrestling Scores GV 31 Southwest 16 GV 32 Blake 12 GV 37 £den Prairie 9 GV 34 Orono 11 GV 16 St. Anthony 22 GV 33 (Mound 9 GV 31 Chaska 13 GV 27 P £ o 17 GV 36 Waconia 6 GV 37 Lakeville 9 GV 28 Shakopee 16 71 SWIMMING No. 2 Swimmers Tried Harder Since there were no seniors on the squad, many questioned Coach Miller's prediction that GV swimmers could finish as well as the year before (fourth in the state). The GV swim team, the youngest and hardest working in GV's four year swimming history, surprised everyone by accumlating a 12-1 dual meet record and a second place in the prestigious state meet. Goaded by slavedriver Bill Miller, the tankmen worked out strenuously, swimming over 8,000 yards a day, lifting weights and pulling exer-genies. The hard work paid off as the Vikings defeated every Lake Conference team except the invincible state champion Hopkins. Fan support was fantastic throughout the season and the stands were packed for the season's most exciting meet in which GV defeated Edina 58-37. The Hornets had handed GV their only loss in the '68-69 season and the revenge was sweet. The crowd literally went wild, as did the team which tossed Coach Miller, Manager Juster and many of the Bill's Girls timers into the pool. It was at the state meet where GV displayed its plumage. The combined talents of Scott Ross, Al Beach, Jere Ellis and Riff Yeager took a second in the opening medley relay with a 1:45.2. Dan Myers placed third in the 200 individual medley. The brown and gold was well represented in the 400 freestyle with T. R. Lundquist and Bob Lee taking second and third respectively. Gary Hvass, Greg Dueval and Mark Pearson added to team totals with strong showings in other events. When the points were tallied, the Vikings held an undisputed second place. The spirit of the squad was exemplified on the way to Cooke Hall. When a late bus broke down, it appeared that the team wouldn't make it to the state meet, and a year of travail would have been in vain. But GV swimmers changed into their suits risking indecent exposure charges, arrived and made their presence known. It was dedication and excitement like this that made the '69-70 season the best yet for the young Vikings. SWIM TEAM; PARTIALLY SUBMERGED: Gary Halvorson, Paul Myers. Scott Ross; SITTING: Scot!

GV seemingly had its own chapter of the emancipated women in its girls' sports program. In their first confrontation with the world of oppressive males, the girls protested a lack of proper practice facilities and were conceded the gym for one day a week. Still unsatisfied, they continued to protest inequities while making the best with what they had. Softball, tennis, volleyball, basketball, field hockey and archery were some of the activities included in the expanded girls athletic program. The women of other schools seemed unable to overcome prejudices, however, as GV girls found opponents scarce. Having no more than two matches in each sport, the girls were undefeated in every activity except field hockey in which they lost 1-0. Ironically, the girls still maintained the image of being the fairer sex. With their typical sense of etiquette, the girls indulged in cookies, milk and gossip with their fees after every contest. SPECIAL EVENTS V HOMECOMING Homecoming is a tradition of alumni, a bonfire, a football game and a dance. The school newspaper ran a total of two lines concerning the event because it is no longer relevant. The bonfire was hot as an effigy of an Eden Prairie player was thrown to the top of the pile. The cheerleaders had special cheers for the occasion. Sixty-eight couples were atrracted to the dance which featured The Hot Half Dozen. A few of last year's seniors showed up and though the Vikings played hard, Eden Prairie won the football game by 12 points. Football co-captain Dan Trustem and cheerleader Kris Meland were crowned king and queen at a Homecoming assembly. During the game's halftime, the band formed designs such as a rocket, a baseball bat, a circle and a half moon, presenting the potpourri in the form of a newscast. During the second half of the game, band members amused themselves by creating original cheers such as, Rip off an arm, rip off a leg, Put'um in the trophy case and Rip, gouge, maim, tear; Come on Vikings, don't play fair. Members of the school's neo-Maoist and hippy radical elements added their own decorations to the queen's convertible in the form of phallic symbols and dirty adjectives. Homecoming is a tradition. 78 a) The queen Kri-s Meland and her attendants Barb Bormann, Colleen Falkers, Pat Behounek, Judy Kleinman, Barb Cook, and Jenny Hamlin applaud the Vikings on to greater glory. b) Les Mouser and Colleen Falkers move to the music of “The Hot Half Dozen. c) The Homecoming bonfire provides a heyday for Golden Valley pyromaniacs. d) An Eden Prairie guy (Dave Bohline) sits next to hisGV woman (John Roiseh) during the Homecoming skit. e) Capt. John McCracken busts through the hoop before busting up Homecoming opposition. 79 MATRIMONIAL MERRIMENT Making merry on the subject of matrimony, three one-act plays were combined under the title “Matrimonial Merriment. The plays were performed by a twelve member cast on Nov. 13,14 and 15. “The Romancers, a Romeo and Juliet farce, called for various clumsy movements and falls by the young lover played by Keith Cal-va. Extra slapstick humor was added for Friday's performance by spontaneous falls, trips and clumsy motions on the part of all the cast members. The slip-ups were considered favorable, but the cast was unable to duplicate their unusual timing for the final performance. Anton Chekov's The Proposal was the second offering. The play presented the comic side of the problems a stubborn young couple experience in becoming engaged. Adopted from Neil Simon's three-act play, “Plaza Suite, “The Wedding completed the evening's theme of couples coming together. The plot centered around a reluctant bride. It was presented from the viewpoint of her nervous parents. The bride, played by Heidi Lynch, didn't appear from her bathroom fortress until the end of the play. “The Wedding was plagued by technical difficulties, forcing its actors to contrive a means of adjusting to new situations. Dennis Wallaker, as the father of the bride, added a few appropriate words when he couldn't open a troublesome door. His coat tails then refused to rip on cue during an exit out a window. The stage crew evoked the wrath of the director during dress rehearsals. Annoyance evolved into rage when Mr. Huble jerked aside a misplaced ladder and doused himself with a can of misplaced yellow paint as it descended from an upper rung. a) Romancers Julie Noren and Keith Calva strike up a conversation. b) Gwen Kastor revives a startled and water-doused Fred Serr. c) Two of the notorious stage crew members dip into their work. d) Bill Gary finds he has to check his lines a second time. e) The revengeful elders of the Romancers families discover that they might have common interests. Q Z o' □ Z O u _i With an original script by GV students, a combination of Lewis Carrolls' Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass was presented April 2,3 and 4. The play consisted of many short scenes of Alice with different characters. Keith Calva, Julie Noren, Martin Paisner and drama advisor James Huble helped with a script to make a clear transition from scene to scene. In the new script some lines are taken from one character and given to another; lines from the White Queen were made the Duchess'. Dennis Wallaker wrote and performed the music used in the production. Choreography was done by Gwen Kastor. Linda Hausman was in charge of make-up. The major roles were Alice — Dana Fili-povich, the Queen of Hearts — Gwen Kastor, the King of Hearts — Martin Paisner, the Duchess — Laurie Moses, the White Rabbit — Karen Weitz, the Cheshire Cat — Dee Langley, the Mock Turtle — Keith Calva, Humpty Dumpty — Jim Mills, Tweedle Dee — Karen Schleske and Tweedle Dum — Barry Paisner. a) The Mad Hatter's tea guests respond to a dissertation. b) The King Of Hearts squits as Alice points out a messenger down the road. c) Alice joins Tweedledum and Tweedle-dee in a dance. d) Alice explains her predicament as the Queen of Hearts scowls in disgust. e) Alice confronts the hookah-smoking Caterpillar. f) The Cook liberally dumps pepper into her soup, to Alice’s dismay.

Otherwise, Al Capp's American institution lived on. Hay was imported from a stable as the cafetorium was outfitted with toilet seats and the other artifacts of back-roads America, including two overhead clotheslines with red long-johns and shirts attached. Dances never prove to be very profitable at GV, even the unique gal-ask-guy Dogpatch ball. The se- nior class added a photographer in the foyer, offering to take color pictures of the couples for a buck apiece, added insurance against the dance going in the red. Dave Campbell, dressed as a hick Janet Hetman, escorted by Janet Hetman, dressed as a hick Dave Campbell, were proclaimed king and queen for their novel costuming. 82 a) No contest is complete without a victory celebration.

HS BOWL Whatever prowess GVHS students lacked on the football field or basketball court was made up for in front of the television camera. As the viewing eyes of America watched, four misguided intellectuals turned in a 3-0 performance on KSTP's High School Bowl quiz show to close the season as undefeated champions. The Viking egg-heads entered the first contest against South St. Paul HS with all the confidence in da woild, according to Fred Serr. At the half they trailed 65-40. During the half-time locker room pep talk, coach John Mossberg told his players to quit being nice guys — nice guys finish last — and put on the full-button press. And press they did, as index fingers streaked, buttons popped, lights flashed and buzzers sounded, the team answered its way to a 125-60 victory. Fortified by their conquest, the squad next faced that perennial HS Bowl power, Hopkins. Pacing the scoring in that game was Paul Fingers Flum. Paul's nimble digit and the team's capacity for bull resulted in a final tally of 160-65. The Vikes trounced the St. Paul Hill delegation in their final Bowl game, 125-65. It was in this encounter that captain Gene Berg demonstrated his vocal talents, which have been described as the wailings of a castrated rooster, in a medley of George M. Cohan tunes. 83 a) Si.

Dr. Donald Zander, assistant vice-pres. of student affairs at the U.of M. d) Congressman Donald Fraser speaks on the problems of the Vietnam War. a SPEAKER SERIES Providing an oasis from the standard class form, four assemblies were held to present speakers on various social problems. The assemblies were sponsored by the Student Council. Bill Barbeau, treasurer, handled the details of the engagements and introduced the speakers. Congressman Donald Fraser, Fifth district Democrat, spoke Oct. 15 for the Vietnam Moritorium. Fraser expressed strong disapproval of the war, saying that we need to decide to make an orderly and firm disengagment and reduction and withdrawal of our forces. When he had finished speaking, Fraser received long and loud applause, a few people even gave him a standing ovation. Thomas Byrne, former mayor of St. Paul, spoke on urban ills. Specifically, he commented on the problems of balancing city budgets. Dr. Donald Zander, assistant vice-president of student affairs at the U. of M., spoke on the modern problem that he dealt with, student unrest. He appeared to be sympathetic with many of the current student and minority requests. Representative Clark MacGregor, third district. Republican spoke on the national concerns of health, education and welfare. 84 SNOW WEEK A winter night can seem very bleak. So can a Student Council — sponsored Snow Week. Two years ago, the word annual was attached to the publicity of the first Snow Week, necessitating immortality. On these grounds, a committee was appointed, posters made and an agenda was panned. A dance was considered and advertised, but was dropped for lack of ticket buyers. Four events did occur though. Monday, Feb. 16 was set aside for tobogganing at Wirth Park's newly improved hill. A broomball tournament was held on Tuesday. Language clubs, Hi-Y's and miscellaneous juniors assembled under the title of Eddie Carlson's Rat Pack competed for the championship. After a series of playoffs, the Rat Pack emerged victorious. Warming weather made Wednesday's hockey tournament a slushy mess. In direct contrast, Thursday night's wind temperature dropped to -37 degrees and only a handful of diehard hockey nuts showed for a frostbitten game, replacing the planned figure skating. Even with the milder weather at the earlier events, participation was small and the few events seemed bleak. a) Sore legs and sniffles become the symbols of the day for the cold hockey game on Thursday night. Gene Berg takes a short pause to wipe his nose and find the puck. Herb Pieper's leg causes him to take a longer time out, ignoring the game. b) Under the lights and with a temperature-induced fast pace, the game acquires professional aspects. c) Bill McAdam recoups in the warming house. 85 MORITORIUM ‘ Oct. 15,1969, was thought to be a success. Proclaimed a moratorium concerning the Vietnamese conflict, the day involved protest on a scale never experienced before. Massing in Washington to express their doubts, indignation or hostility toward the course of the war, people of many classes and political philosophies united. At GV, eighty students asked for permission to leave in order to attend the demonstrations and speeches at the University of Minnesota. Those who stayed listened to Rep. Donald Fraser come out against the war, stating, I think we have done all the good and all the bad that we can do in Vietnam, and the time has come for us to disengage. Many students wore black arm bands in school as a sign of solidarity with the moratorium. The November Moratorium focused mainly on Washington D.C. and was given little attention by Golden Valley faculty and students. Original plans of the National Moratorium Committee were to stage a moratorium each month for one day longer, until the war was settled. However, because of the announcement of troop withdrawals, and perhaps because the cold, no more moratoriums were held. Interest of students began to turn to other causes, especially ecology, until May 2 when President Nixon announced that troops were being sent from Vietnam to neighboring Cambodia for limited search and destroy missions. The demonstrations, the strikes and the cause resumed, gaining new importance. lorge Photo) Some of the 10,000 demonstrators who assembled at the U. of M. a) Laura Birgal and Cindy Johnson wear their black arm bands to Modern Problems. NVIRONMENTAL CONCERN I DAY BTK Harvey Djerf, organizer of the Environmental Concern Day program, hoped that the delay would enable GV to have additional experts on ecology speak, without having to fight all the other schools for speakers. After a keynote speech by Dr. Charles Carson, professor of Geology at the U. of M., students were free to alreSi the sessions of their choice from among discussions, demonstrations and speeches concerning the various phases qjUhe environmental problem. A favorite attraction was the chemistry room, which had been filled with smoke and fjmes from burning marsh hay. Students were supplied with gas masks before entering the environment. Students were encouraged to walk to school in symbolic protest of auto pollution. With a sunny morning temperature of 60 degrees, compliance with the request was almost complete. Debris that the students collected while walking was deposited under the school's new marquee, a noted for visual pollution itself. Students who had driven to school, caught in the excitement of the day, blockaded the ends of the parking lot with their cars in a symbolic, if hypocritical, a their own. Garbage, of the trash can variety, was added to the debris pile during the as some boys saw a good way to dispose of their empty beer cans. Supt. Robert Johnston, in evaluating the day, observed that while some dents used the free situation as an opportunity for a day off, the majority o dents used the time to good advantage. JR.-SR. PROM With the theme Love is Blue, this year's junior - Senior Prom continued the tradition of costing more than its predecessors and outdid itself in costuming, makeup and design. As a spectacle, it was marred only by the suitcoats of several teachers. Held earlier then usual on April 24, the event was produced at the Lafayette Club in Wayzata. Attendance consisted of 52 seniors, 36 juniors, 3 sophomores, 1 freshman, 31 adults, 8 ushers and usherettes and 28 guests from outside the school. With the Pride and Joy rock group supplying the music, the Prom retained formal trappings down to punch in champagne glasses. The filmed senior highlights, featured Steve Dritsas' tongue exercises and Rocky Mjos as a tennis ball. Refusing to stop at midnight various parties, breakfasts and trips to Taylors Falls, kept many couples going till Saturday evening. 88 a) John Skupny passes a rumor to an attentive Julie Noren. b) Jill Green and John McCracken keep it easy as the dancing continues toward midnight. c) Performing a principal duty, Mr. Saunders attempts to amuse with better success among the elders than the young. d) Jim Faustgen literally shakes a leg but fails to attract his date's attention. e) Rocky Mjos and Debbie Myers give an eye to the main course. f) With head erect and feet in step, Dan Trustem escorts Kris Meland for the Grand March. 89 STUDENTS “if J SENIORS All that was futile. I did not exist to write poems, to preach or to paint, neither I or anyone else. All of that was incidental. Each man had only one genuine vocation — to find the way to himself. He might end up as a poet or madman, as prophet or criminal — that was not his affair, ultimately it was of no concern. His task was to discover his own destiny — not an arbitrary one — and live it out wholly and resolutely within himself. Everything else was only a would-be existence, an attempt at evasion, a flight back to the ideals of masses, conformity and fear of ones own inwardness. The new vision rose up before me, glimpsed a hundred times, possible even expressed before but now experienced for the first time by me. I was an experiment on the part of Nature, a gamble within the unknown, perhaps for a new purpose, perhaps for nothing and my only task was to allow this game on the part of primeval depths to take its course, to feel its will within me and make it wholly mine. That or nothing! On one or several occasions in the course of their lives, even the most harmless people do not altogether escape coming into conflicts with the fine virtues of piety and gratitude. Sooner or later each of us must take the step that seperates him from his father, from his mentors; each of us must have some cruelly — lonely experience — even if most people can not take much of this and soon crawl back. I myself had not parted from my parents and their world, the luminous world in a violent struggle, but had gradually and almost imperceptibly become a stranger. I was sad that it had to be this way and it made for many unpleasant hours during my visits back home, but it did not affect me deeply; it was bearable. But where we have given our love and respect not from habit but of our own free will, where we have been disciples and friends out of our inmost hearts, it is a bitter and horrible moment when we suddenly recognize that the current within us wants to pull us away from what is dearest to us. Then every thought that rejects the friend and mentor turns in our own hearts like a poison barb, then each blow struck in defense flies back in ones own face, the words disloyalty and ingratitude strike the person who feels he was morally sound like cat calls and stigma, and the frightened heart flees back to the charmed valleys of childhood virtues, unable to believe that this break, too, must be made, this bond also broken. Each man's life represents a road toward himself, an attempt at such a road, the intimation of a path. No man has ever been entirely and completely himself. Yet each one strives to become that — one in an awkward, the other in a more intelligent way, each as best he can. Each man carries the vestiges of his birth — the slime and eggshells of his primeval past — with him to the end of his days. Some never become human, remaining frog, lizard, ant. Some are human above the waist, fish below. Each represents a gamble on the part of nature in creation of the human. We all share the same origin, our mothers; all of us come in at the same door. But each of us — experiments of the depths — strives toward his own destiny. We can understand one another; but each of us is able to interpret himself to himself alone.

The search for the elusive dollar led juniors to carwashes, concession stands and a carnival, complete with helium-filled balloons. The energies of the Junior Class were spread in many directions. Concern for College Prep, with its molar quantities, durability of WWI aeroplanes and use of the Shakespearian Concordance, was the driving force for some. Others perfected their social drinking habits. The juniors held three out of four executive positions on the Student Council. Interest in politics was also expressed by their attendance at the University during the Vietnam Moratorium. Even with lunch line status lost, the juniors kept looking up. a) Garbed to fight the establishment Bill Gary stands ready. b) Flying one of his model airplanes, Jeff Cook enjoys a spring day. c) And then I explains Art I student John Skupny. d) Rick Hellweg and Stuart Gitis ignoring the paper airplane study. 108 Aj k- � Stephen Adolfson William Barbeau William Blonigan Laurie Amundson Ann Altman Mark Bauer Leila Bloomquist Allen Beach tc-‘eabcock Merry Bohn Ma-V Ucnkusky Sharon Buffingto n Barry Backman William Berg Patrick Burrell 109 Cindy Carlson Debbie Eggleston Wendy Friede Chris Cavanaugh Ed Carlson Jell Cook Jere Ellis Blair Elliott jean Engstrom John Gilbertson Bill Gary Stuart Gitis Tom Coyne Jon Downs Greg Duevel Steve Crews Dave Dresser Duane Esterly Coby Feikema Debbie Fren el Gravce Faustgen Barb Firth Cathy Gorlin Karl Gronquist Wanda Hammond Steve Greenberg Jill Gunderson 110 Harold Hartwig Leslie Hamre Steve Jacobson Doug Hudson Laura Kohlhase Shari Knollenberg John Hass Royce Jones Connie Koski Kathy Hayes Joyce Jorgenson Steve Krantz Kristi Held Roberta Kahn Donna Kurtz Doug Hellweg Fred Karasov David Larson Cary Herstein Diane Kastor Pat Lawless lulie Fletman Judy Kleinman Scott Loomis Jane Hogan Connie Knaeble Barb Lundgren uiiki: a) Steve Greenberg ponders his existence. b) Steve Greenberg delights in observing the results of his experiment on Chris Cavanaugh. c) Junior girls Debby Frenzel, Jill Gunderson, Chris Cavanaugh and Coby Feikema in a round table discussion. d) The junior section listens attentively to a guest speaker.

A sizeable number of soph's participated at the University during the Vietnam Moritorium, paralleling this, sophomore girls comprised a majority of the newly established Pep Club. Earning money, a problem facing every class was made more difficult by the apathetic student body. Ideas such as soc-hops and the Snow Dance were brought up, but due to poor attendance demonstrated by previous dances, there was a risk of losing money. Even a chance to sponsor a dance at One Groveland, a teen dance center in Minneapolis, was declined at the last moment. Even with a big name band like Showtime I II, the class feared attendance would not be sufficient to produce a profit. Use of class funds for sponsoring the Junior-Senior Prom was questioned by some class members as a frivolous expenditure. However, the majority ruled in favor of continuing it. Agreement could be found among the sophomores on some points though, as mutual contempt was held for tricky driver's license tests, Kimble quotes and seniors. 114 3) The key lo freedom is upper most in the sophomore mind. b) Not noticing that his foot is over the line, Ralph Shapiro keeps his eye on the ball. c) Dennis Wallaker watches as Mark Jaffee prepares to make a pornographic sign upon seeing the camera. d) Sophomore officers sec.

On one hand the ninth grade was a class of followers. The in crowd was firmly established along the guidelines set in previous years and class officers were voted in by popularity. However, the frosh displayed their aptitude with very high grade point averages. One group of ninth graders that had been accelerated in mathematics took sophomore geometry. The freshmen inherited several high school problems such as how to cope with economic term papers, physics lab experiments, green omelettes, nonsensical word initiations and cramped quarters. The installation of the activity bus was a great aid to non-driving freshmen who participated in many extra-curricular events. Lack of school spirit was considered the prevalent attitude at GV but the frosh broke the stereotype by actually singing at pep fests and showing up en masse at athletic contests. Such vivacity, together with the challenge of sticking to high school for four years, made '69-70 an interesting year for the freshman class. Freshman Class Officers a) Vice-pres.
