Y pa J 21.3, J We the senior class of 1952 have reached one of the goals along our road of life. Such an education as we have received has been the result of the work of men who have served faithfully on our board of education and administration. We dedicate this Hectorian 1952 to August Jung. His many years of service provided the foundation of the heritage of the education we now hold dear.

It is the first time a senior class has been able to include all the activities of the year, from the day of registration through to graduation and the class trip to Wash- ington, D.C. May this Hectorian always be a source of pleasant memories for you. A y 1 ' administration administrative leaders aided by their efficient secretaries TO THE SENIORS OF 1952: You, the 53rd class to graduate from Hector High School may think you have the most hopeless situation before you. It is true. you have a challenging position with war, communism, and a general lack of respect for authority lurking about you. However, there are no hopeless situations, There are only men who have grown hopeless about them. l suggest you take r the uplook if the outlook is bad. This is your commencement of adulthood. Put away childish things and make your life count for God, country, fellowmen and yourself. Wgffraffs A. P. BERGEE - Superintendent f -4? O I I - J Qu-A ,Au .....,,,, . MARCELLA NELSON.

American Extension University of Minnesota Superintendent The youth of today go forth from high school facing chal- lenges and opportunities unparalleled in history. We must look beyond the world tensions of today to catch the real vision of what lies beyond the threshold upon which the Class of l952 finds itself. Our world has shrunk rapidly and is continuing to do so. Commercial air travel at the speed of sound will soon be common- place. Airplanes have opened up areas for development and settlement that have been inacessible to train, boat, or truck. Progress in medicine, chemistry, and the utilization of atomic energy suggest swiftly changing practices throughout the world. New nations, seeking self-determination, are flexing their muscles and lifting their heads, striving to catch a glimpse of the New Era. Each year opens up new vistas to those who are iust start- ing to build their future on a foundation of vision, tolerance and understanding, and guided by a Faith that honors the individual worth and brotherhood of man.

The first really big event of the year came when the iuniors presented their play, Seventeenth Summer , on November 'I6 and l7. Orville Hable, a sophomore, accepted a part in the play to fill a last minute vacancy. When Harriet Hogg became ill, it was necessary to get .loan Fosland, who played the same part in the Bird Island play, to fill in for her. Through the direction of Miss Shirley George and the assistance of many others, the play was successful. Another exciting event for the iuniors was the choosing of class rings. After much discussion, planning, and anticipation, the iuniors entertained the seniors in Minneapolis at the annual banquet and prom on May 3. Their iunior year will be long remembered as an eventful and happy one. A iunior class party in the gym. CLASS OFFICERS SITTING, :eff 1 - M, L I mgljirea HarrietoHdlgZ.

Their class advisers were Mrs. Bergee and Mr. Dietz. The sophomores decorated the gymnasium for Homecoming with a Fall theme. Across the center of the gym was strung the word, Home- coming , in gold letters. One corner was set apart from the gym by a trellis as an eating place. The gym itself was decorated in fall colors. The float they entered had the slogan, Stew 'em up and pass the mustard. In the center of the float was a big stew pot with a buffalo head in it. The buffalo head was to represent Buffalo Lake in the stew, our opponents for the Home- coming game. For their class trip they went to the Twin Cities to visit some of the important buildings and industries. The sophomore homecoming float.

On September 7, 1948, as freshmen we trooped through the halls to where we met our class advisers, Miss Shirley Lilliestrale and Mr. Wendell Smith. At our first class meeting we elected Harold Witte as president, Malcolm Broderius, vice president, Don Niles, treasurer, and Doris Nelson, secretary. Ruth Hanson represented us on the Student Council. September 28 was the day of our first class party, a hayride to Lake Allie. It was very success- ful, and so were the other parties we had throughout the year. Two girls ioined our class in February, bringing the enrollment to fifty-two. We were proud of our large number. Our sophomore class was very enthusiastic. Everyone co-operated when a new proiect was started. One example was the Soph Sour Notes, our class newspaper. Elaine Olson was elected at the beginning of the year to lead us in all activities, with Jim Rad- loff, Donna Laffen, Martha Hackbarth serving as vice president, secretary, treasurer, respectively. Our class advisers were Miss Shirley Lilliestrale and Mr. Wayne Dietz. For the Homecoming celebration, we decorated the gynmasium for the dance with a Harvest themef Across the gymnasium was strung the word, Homecoming, in brightly colored autumn eaves. On a beautiful spring day, we iourneyed to Minneapolis tosee someoftheimportantbuildingsand Lndustries including the Ford Plant, Star and Tribune Building, WCCO, and a museum of natural istory. Don Niles was elected as president of the junior class with Ted Spreiter to assist and Marilyn Carlson took the minutes with Donna Laffen to take care of financial matters. Martha Hackbarth and Harold Witte were student council representatives. Advice was given by Mrs. Evelyn Estenson and Mr. Wayne Dietz. On November 17 and 18 Moonlight for Herbert, a teen age comedy, was successfully staged by a talented cast. The Junior-Senior Prom was made the biggest event of the year by enthusiastic hard work and effort put up by the class. The theme, Hawaiian Sunset , was carried out by decorating the gym and the orchestra music helped create a lovely atmosphere. The sophomore waitresses and waiters served the meal prepared by our mothers. The beginning of our big year came around on August 28, 1951. We elected Dale Patten as president with Jim Radloff as his assistant. Mary Anne Fredrickson acted as secretary, while Ted Spreiter took charge of the finances. Student council members were Vivian Lund, Wanda Ahl, Dale Dean, and Dale Patten. Advising us through the year were Mr. lngvald Rossing and Mrs. Beverly Loeffers. Our Homecoming celebration, under the direction of the Student Council, was the first big affair of the year. It began on Thursday night, October 18, with a bonfire, snake dance, and coronation. We were proud of our king and queen, Jim Radloff and Donna Laffen, chosen from a group of candidates - Audrey Piehl, Donna Fredrickson, Ruby Clark, Kay Eckerman, Jim Nelson, Ted Spreiter, Malcolm Broderius, and Dick Roker - by the student body. The annual parade was held on Friday afternoon. That night we scored another victory over Buffalo Lake. With Queen Donna and King James reigning, a Homecoming dance was held at the school after the game. Throughout the year, the class worked diligently to earn money for the trip. We served q chicken dinner for the public, and had several food sales. ln February we put on a gala carnival and variet show. Weywere guests of the iuniors at the Dyckman Hotel in Minneapolis on May 3 for the Junior- Senior Banquet and Prom under the theme of Candlelight and Roses . The Senior class play, Mother is a Freshman, became a reality on May 9-10. We graduated on May 22, and left on our class trip to Washington, D. C. and New York on May 24. We returned from this tour on May 30. Through each of our well filled years of high school our class had a large and capable represent- ation in all sports, chorus, glee club, speech, newspaper, and band. 15 -5 K 'af-1 Qf K I WANDA AHL - Band l,2, 3,45 Pep Band l,2,3,45 Chorus 'l,2,3,45 Glee Club 'l,2,35 Newspaper l,2,45 F. l'l.A.

The l95l football season was a fine one from the standpoint of the Bulldogsl They had to settle for second position in the 2l2 Conference, because of a one point loss to Danube, but six wins, two of them non-conference, more than made up for it. The boys demonstrated their love for contact in their process of overwhelming four straight opponents. Renville, Bird Island, and Brownton fell in decisive defeats, 50-I3, 32-0, and 52-l3. In the home opener, Sacred Heart was the victim by a one-sided 38-7 score. Then the following week the critical game with Danube was contested. Danube, the host team, scored the lone extra point for the winning margin in the I3-I2 count. The Bulldogs scored first, followed by a Danube TD, then another one was pushed over by the Bulldogs, only to have the winners go ahead to stay on their last six-pointer. That's how close it was. Homecoming provided a thriller as Buffalo Lake and Hector fought it out for second place. Buffalo Lake, highly keyed up in state of mind, as they are for all Hector clashs, succeeded in holding the Bulldogs to a 6-6 tie with only minutes left on the clock. However, Dale Dean wiped out their hopes when he drove over on fourth down for a I3-6 victory. The Bulldogs found the going rough when Buffalo Lake scored on the opening scrimmage play of the game, but they lust wouldn't settle for a tie. It was a typical example of the fiahting spirit the team had. The Lester Prarire game saw eight seniors bowing out with their Iastvictory. Harold Witte, Jim Radloff, Dale Dean, Ted Spreiter, Jim Nelson, Donald Niles, Harvey Nenow, and Malcolm Broderius hung up their cleats aftera wininfhe old six-man style. These eight helped compile the excellent record Hector hqg held on the girdion in the last half a decade and deserve a big hand. Of these boys, Jim Radloff, Malcolm Broderius, and Ted Spreiter gained Q spot on the All-Conference selections. 22 E7. ax W I I' ' , X ig' ' 'li 3. ': . my 1 .

The record indicates the excellent iob Mr. Dietz did in pre- paring and accustoming the boys to the newly developed style, eight-man football. This resembles the eleven-man game except for the five-man line and the size of the field, which is that of six-man. , X, I Not a chance . . . Paving the way . . .

A 47-46 loss to Glencoe denied the Hectorites the right to the regionals, but it was a startling finish, despite the disappointer, as two bitter rivals fell in the final drive. Hector was unable to touch Danube and Buffalo Lake during the regular season, but evened the series a bit by scoring 40-30 and 45-43 victories, respectively, in the tourney. ln conference competition, a 7-5 record was posted by the Bulldogs, good for fourth place. The Bulldogs got off to a fast start and won five straight, starting with Renville on the 30th of November. Then, however, the roof fell in momentarily as Dan- ube, Brownton, and Buffalo Lake scored victories in quick suc- cession. The latter game was a double-overtime contest played before a capacity crowd in the Hector auditorium. Renville, again, was the toe-mark of a streak of victories, which was four this time. Renville was the hardest ofthe quartet to get by and lost only 32-27, but it was just a tune-up for the easy wins to come over Sacred Heart, Stewart, and Brownton, 55- , 40, 63-32, and 53-34. im, Danube and Buffalo Lake continued to prove that they had the Bulldogs' number as they beat them 53-36 and 46-36 to com- plete the schedule and set the stage for the Hector upsets in the l'0Ul'I1Gmef1l'. Co-captains Harold Witte and Jim Radloff, demonstrated smart leadership throughout in leading the boys to their desti- nation. Witte's fine play was recognized as he was chosen on the all-conference team. 25 ,,,.-N., ,.,, ,,.,, Senior Cheerleaders Barbara Rueber, Eveline Polesky Darlene Niles. bulldogs capture district runner- up trophy DAVID SPREITER d Guar Guard CO-CAPTAINS JAMES RADLOFF HAROLD WITTE Forward Forward MERN WITTE IAN AHL Forward Guard 1 Q . . wr -va, ll L il-2,524-3 5' TED SPREITER DON NILES JAMES NELSON Guard Center scoreboa rd OPPONENT: HHS OPP.

The boys finally got back into business, again, after a few Xeek? layoff as they reported for baseball and track workouts on pn . The defending District Baseball Champions, minus four lettermen of nine from last year's delegation, played two non-conference games to start off the season. Bird lsland, in the first game, scored three runs in the seventh inning to overcome a one point deficit and win 6-4. Buffalo Lake followed the same technique with two runs in the top of the seventh. ln this May 2 contest the Bulldogs managed to score but one run, that came in the last of the seventh as Buffalo Lake won 2-l. A lack of clutch hits accounted for both defeats. The Bulldogs got only four and five hits, respectively, in the two games, while the opposition did slightly better with six and seven. Brownton played host to the Bulldogs on May 9, and suffered a 2-0 defeat. Both Hector runs were scored in the fourth stanza of the game which saw Hector pounding out eight safeties to but two for Brownton. The first act of the tracksters was the entering of four individuals in the Mankato Relays staged on April 28. Harold Witte, James Radloff, Dale Dean, David Spreiter performed to gain needed ex- perience. Radloff and Spreiter entered the l00 yard dash, Radloff and Dean the shotput, Witte the discus throw and all four teamed together to run the 880 relay. They didn't place in the meet, but it was a new experience against first-class competition. ln the District l2 Track Meet, on May 'l0, James Nelson, Mem Witte, and Gerald Hauer ran with this group. Hector managed to pick up six points as a team as Mern finished third in the mile to account for three points, Radloff placed fifth in the lOO yard and the 220 yard dashs to earn two points and Hauer completed the scoring by running fifth in the 880.

I 37 seventeenth summer enacted by iuniors. iunior class play Seventeenth Summer , a drama- tization by Anne Coulter Martin, was presented by the iunior class on Nov- ember 16 and T7. The play, an account of a summer in the life of a teen-age girl, brought to the stage the Morrow family. Angie, the central character, was played by Harriet Hagg. Pictured is Joan Fos- land, who took Harriet's place, be- cause of last minute illness. Angie was a teen-age girl on the verge of growing up, something that her young- er, sister Kitty fpatricia Taberl, want- ed to prevent. Margaret and Lorraine, Angie's older sisters CHarriet Rueber and Arlene Olsonl, were in favor of the idea of her growing up. The problems of these four were met with amusement and bewilderment by their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Morrow Cl.yle Willhite and Doris Novotnyl. Jack Duluth, who was the best basketball player in the country according to Angie, was played by,Orville Hable. Margie and .lane iDorothy Bauman and Ardyce Lindbergl were jealous girlfriends of Angie's and Fritz, Margie's steady fDouglas Kramerl and Tony CGerald Hauerl who interested .lane when Jack wasn't around, added to the complications.
