A litrlc learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring: There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain. And drinking largely sobers 11s again. —ALKXANDER POPE. 1990 9ckmi PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1940 OF HOPKINS HIGH SCHOOL, HOPKINS, MINNESOTA Mike McMahon..............................Editor-in-Chief Wally Lundahi............................Managing Editor Dick Hagen...............................Business Manager It is for meritorious service, helpful guidance, and unceasing cooperation in every activity, in school or elsewhere, that we dedicate this the 1940 Echoes, to Mr. Armond Christiansen, capable director of the musical organizations of our school. Air. Christiansen has ever been willing to assist at any occasion that warranted a musical background — at football games, class plays, pep fests and many more other such intrinsic activities of normal school life. It has been this willingness to help that has made Mr. Christiansen a very necessary part of the Hopkins educative system. 4 As the graduating class of 1940, we have published this book, not to honor and glorify ourselves, but rather, to record and preserve a small part of our life — the part of our life that we have been repeatedly told would remain as the happiest days of our existence. It is with faint misgivings that we have begun to realize that this is only too true. The preparation of this year’s F.choes has added further strengthening to the thorns in the bed of roses” theory. W'e feel, however, as every annual staff unfailingly docs, that all obstacles have been met to the l est of our ability. Our only hope at present is that, though we have made many mistakes and have been guilty of several weird ideas, sonic of which have never culminated, we will profit by our frequent missteps and miscalculations and gain confidence by any success we may have achieved, even though accidentally. fyosiewosuH It would lie an untruth to state that the three fellows pictured above arc laboring on the annual, for Mr. Johnson, adviser, tried several rimes and never once found them working. However they did achieve a profound air in this picture as they discussed heatedly the moot question.

Taking a quick glance from left to right let's scrutinize a little closer the leaders of the es-tccmablc seniors. Ralph Beversdorf is first and his claim to distinction is the honor of being the 1939 captain of the Warriors. Bever, as he is called most frequently, is an all conference choice in both basketball and football but he doesn’t let that interfere with his job as secretary of the class. Next fellow, who is slightly on the lengthy side, is Robert I fart and a very fine basketball player is Bobby. Bob is the man with the purse strings in the case of I lopkins; he's the treasurer of the outfit. The young man with the downcast air is the president of the class and answers to the name of Walter Lundahl. Wally has proved to be an excellent executive. The fellow that the only hat in the picture is wearing is none other than Richard Hagen, vice president, who is rightly called the “Professor. Dick takes his job with a great deal of nonchalance, but even so he never objects to a fanfare. Now that we have introduced von to the head boys on our ream let’s read some of our past history.

A...................dog racer extraordinary .... able assistant to public addressers at basketball games........ Time Marches On! Thus tersely, verbose Time magazine might well record our four years in high school. In Timcstylc let us bring to mind highlights in the past high school years. Laughing, jovial, chatting freshman crowded into the scar-lined assembly for the traditional election of class officers. Silence prevailed as the presiding pundit, Richard Hagen, accepted nominations. Ballots were cast, votes counted and talkative, brownhaired, Fred Stevens was acclaimed the new president.

Kenneth Hodek won the vice presidency, while modernminded, tall, Walter Lundahl was secretary-treasurer. Flic two newly-elected councilmen were Richard Hagen and Paul Jorgensen. What will the frosh team do in the way of athletics? This was the question on the lips of every athletic-minded frosh, but not for long. The longstriding team walked over all and sundry until the semi-finals; there the wolf in the guise of Excelsior swallowed them. Tradition called for a party but mild spring days begged for a picnic. 9 Cloudless skies and cheery Excelsior atmosphere made the first frosh class picnic an unqualified success. Older, wiser, sophomores filed into the sunny assembly, a replica of the one they walked into the year before. To elect their officers was their purpose. Scholarly, chemistry - minded, dependable, Richard Hagen accepted the presidency. Frosh secretary-treasurer Walter Lundahl was re-elected for the sophomore year. Janet la-kousky, James Soulcn, Robert Hart were new councilmcn. Earnest, hardworking juniors walked into the same assembly to fill Joseph Havlik .... musician of mention .... sent to Hopkins from Howells, Nebraska .... pet hobby is girls in general .... Duanf.

Six foot, slow-motioned, debonair, Jennings Pcrcler found himself president; while Walter Lundahi w as vice president. Attractive Bernice Meyer was elected treasurer. The comical class play “Almost Eighteen” proved that the life of one almost 18 is not all milk and honey. As irrepressible, mischievous, natural, Eddie Barrie, James Soulen gave a conscientious performance. Bernice Meyer played the difficult role of his adoring mother and Robert Liset portrayed his absentminded father. The play centered around irascible Eddie who got himself into plenty of trouble, but cvervthing ends happily. 11 Michael McMahon .... Irish .... greatly concerned about the Hi-Crier . . . .

The seniors give it for the juniors. In return the class of 1940 gave them a prom. Amid a northwoodsccnc in the fragrance of tamarack and fir, the prom for the seniors closed a tempestuous year. Venerable, w orldly, modern seniors strut for the last time into the ageless assembly for their last election. Nominations were made and balloting was started. Votes w ere counted, 19-20.

The air bristled with excitement. Campaign speeches were made on the side, as hurriedly new ballots were prepared. Ballots came in and the votes were counted. Amid cheers Walter Lundahl accepts the presidency. Automatically Richard Hagen became vice-president. Lanky Robert Hart and athletic Ralph Beversdorf accepted the councilmcn’s posts. Lollipops serve as appropriate prizes at the kids’ party, seniors gave for the 13 Ethkl Smerdon .... came here from Deephaven .... goes by the unlovely name of “Waffle” ....

Cocky, Irish Mike McMahon won the boy’s prize for the most fetching boy’s costume, while petite Helen Dianish won the girl’s prize. “Tons of Money,’’ a three-act comedy, proved competent entertainment, as everyone who attended will agree. The juniors gave the seniors a prom carrying out a wishing-well scheme. Tough finals, hilarious class day, moving baccalaureate, and saddening graduation day ended happy school careers. 14 Time Marches On! QlaMei Keeping the business conditions of classes with a membership of almost one hundred students, on the straight and narrow for nine months is bv no means an easy job. I low-cvcr, for each class, juniors, sophomores and freshmen, there is a group of unsung heroes that have the burden of conducting the routine machinations of class administration.

In the American Legion parade in Minneapolis, it won second prize among high school marching bands and was awarded $ 5- The band played at a benefit band concert in Shakopce, given to raise funds for uniforms for the Shakopce band. The band mothers club purchased new purple coats and caps for the band last year and this year the school board purchased new trousers for the group. The trousers are sand gray wool whipcord with a purple and gold stripe down the side of each pant leg. The band wore their complete uniforms for the first time in their annual concert February 29. At the district music contest at Anoka, April 18 the band was awarded an “A” rating for its rendition of the “Niobe” overture bv Dc Rubertis.

After the September issue came out dressed practically the same way as the last years’ papers, the October I li-Crier hit the street in a new dress which was rated the best 5-column front page makeup at the M. H. S. P. convention this spring. Four new faculty members were honored by having their pictures in this issue, with a headline as follows: Hopkins Welcomes New Members to Faculty. Mr. Morgan. Miss Eversull, Miss Avery and Miss Sher-ven arc the new members. The readers of the Hi-Cricr had a big surprise when the October issue came dressed in green paper and black type. Everyone agreed that it brought life to the paper, and showed up the headlines the members of the staff work hard to make perfect. Cupid took his bow in the November issue and warned the male students of leap year. The new sport section of this year appeared with headlines as fellows: Bcvcrs-dorf, Chastck in Top Ranks, meaning, these two stars of the Hopkins football team were chosen for the All-Conference team. The spirit of Christmas was in more than just the hearts of the students. The December Hi-Crier came all decked out in its Christmas “duds. Besides the green paper, corresponding green ink was used. Also, a large stocking appeared with students wishes for special Christmas presents. A Hi-Cricr quiz began in the January issue and some simple questions were asked. Yet, when students began these quizzes, they found them far from simple. The members of the Hopkins Board of Education were introduced to those not yet familiar to their names, and a little his tor)’ of each member was given. To end the suspense of many, the highest awards of the senior class were finally disclosed. The valcdictorianship was awarded to Lorraine Lapic and the salutatorianship to Dick Hagen. eJH-G UeA.

As a properly suited vehicle for an astute senior class, a committee headed by Miss Lohva Wakefield picked “Tons of Money” as the annual dramatic presentation of the graduating class. Attended by a capacity audience, the play, given May to, proved to be fully as successful as the author vowed it would be. Brief condensation of the plot is: Aubrey Allington (Robert l.isct) falls heir to a fortune amassed by his late brother. Only catch in the situation is the discover)’ that debts will take the largest share of the legacy. Aubrey’s wife (Bernice Meyer) comes to the top with the clever idea that Aubrey should fake a death and thus escape the creditors. Aubrey docs this but finds it necessary to die once again and this time he makes his entrance as George Maitland, next heir, supposedly dead. He finds it expedient to die Se+u i GlaM. Plcuf, for a third time. However, this attempt is thwarted bv Giles (Thomas Lapic) the gardener and Miss Mullet (Fhvllis Maetzold), maiden aunt of the Allingtons. Sprulcs, the butler (Richard Hagen) eavesdrops on several pertinent conversations and decides to enter the conspiracy by having his brother, Henry (Jennings Peteler) show up as George Maitland and claim the money. Sprulcs is aided and abetted in the scheme by Simpson, (Virginia Moore), the maid. In the interim Jean (Marie Hamilton) an old friend of Louise. Aubrey’s wife, appears and proves to be George Maitland's wife. Climax is reached when the real George Maitland (Wally Lundahl) arrives. A quarrel naturally results to sec who will get the coveted money. Final result is supplied by Mr. Chcrstcrman, a lawyer who told them of the death of Aubrey’s brother and the resultant windfall, when he tells them the estate has been annexed by the Mexican Revolutionary Committee. Directorial duties were capably handled by Miss Wakefield. 26 Staxdiko: James DeVeau. William Kimmer, Jeannette Pctrak. Willard Olsen. Robert Feudner. Roland Peteler. Carrell Kucera. Donald Hagen.

The junior class of ’39 presented as their play “Fly Away Home,” a three act comedy by Dorothy Bennett and Irving White. It was given November 24 under the direction of .Miss Turner. The play was based on the jingle, “Lady, Bug, Lady Bug, flv away home, your house is on fire, your children will bum. The story deals with the life situations of the Masters family. James Masters, the father (Roland Peteler), is a serious minded, commonplace man, who believes in child discipline, while his wife Nan (Myrtle Benson), a Hollywood costume designer, believes children should be allowed to govern themselves. The Masters have been separated for i: years and their children, Corey, Linda, Buff and Harmcr, realistically portrayed by William Kimmer, Edna Golden, Marlys Hag-man. and Donald Hagen, respectively, arc very much distressed at their father's return. Things really become very involved when Professor Sloan (Willard Olsen), who plans to marry Nan after her divorce, makes his appearance. Other characters that did a great deal to make the play one of the greatest ever presented were Penny (Jeannette Pctrak), a middle-aged maid who had always taken care of the children, and Tinka (Milas Quigley), Corey’s girl friend. Johnny (James dc Veau), is seriously courting Linda. The cast would not have been complete without the big support from such characters as the Portuguese couple, Maria (Lorraine Dvorak) and Gabriel (Robert Feudner). The taxi driver (Carrell Kucera) added a great deal of humor to the play. Mention must also be given to the understudies who acted as prompters; namely, Helen Dianish, Alice Jurisch, and Marie Well berg. jjusuosi GlcuU Play 27 Tor Row: James Soulen, Roland Pctcler, Jennings Peteler.

I hc 1939-40 glee club is a great improvement over glee clubs of past years. This is due partly to the fact that it is given two school hours a week in which to practice. In previous years, all practice had to he done outside of school hours and attendance was poor. Miss Thompson is director of the Glee club. There arc 42 members in the club, 36 of whom are girls. The glee club sang at the education program, the Christmas program, and the local Apollo club contest. Miss Macemon served as accompanist.

Officers elected for 1939-1940 were Lorraine Lapic. president; Ruth Hcrmanson, vice-president; Janeth Moore, secretary; Hazel Dean, treasurer; Marjorie Lapic, publicity chairman. Miss Richards, our athletic supervisor, serves as instructor. Approximately 45 girls took part in girls’ athletics this past year. This organization was begun under the direction of Miss Carpenter. Any girl from the freshman class to the senior class can become a member if she has earned 100 points through various athletic activities. A passing grade in three subjects is also required. A certain evening each week is devoted to sports. During these evenings the girls play volley-ball, basketball and soccer. A class in archery has also been organized. Several times a vear a social function is held. The girls have enjoyed weincr roasts, parties and a bike-hike. Other members arc Lois Burgan, Evelyn Fredrickson.

In 1953 an organization was formed for the purpose of increasing school spirit and pep for the various athletic contests. This club became known as the Hep club. This club is limited to twenty senior girls. The twenty original senior girls, together with all the junior girls, vote on the twenty girls in that junior class who arc to succeed them. The officers elected for 1939-1940 were Lorraine I.apic, president; Velma Swanson, vice-president; Virginia Moore, secretary-treasurer. Miss Richards is adviser for the Pep club. Other members are Irene Hjort, Annv Kinn, Marjorie Hagman, Charlotte Jorgensen, Betty Jane Nelson, Mac Olson, Joy P p, Club Martinson, Mary Grace Mallcry, Gladys Taylor, Janet Makouskv, Marie Hamilton, Bernice Meyers, Frances Korbichka, Violet Pedersen, Hazel Dean, Ruth Hermanson, and Phyllis Mactzold. A short pep fest, including a skit, numbers by the band, and a talk by some member of the school, is presented by the Pep club before each home football and basketball game. Selling candy at the home games is another duty of this group. For amusement a weiner roast was held last fall. A party is usually held sometime in the spring. But the best time of all is the initiation when new members go through such tortures as having molasses and com flakes smeared over their faces and rolling a peeled onion across the lunchroom floor with their noses. All this is done in a friendly and sportsmanlike fashion. The friendliness and companionship are keynote features of this club. 30 Top How: Orville Aubrecht. Richard Shaw. Robert Bcrjrlund.

One of the best manifestations of vocational guidance in the Hopkins high school is the local chapter of the Future Farmers of America, a national organization of students vitally interested in agriculture as a future livelihood. The Hopkins chapter under the leadership of Hugh Firmage, agricultural department head, is now a permanent part of extra-curricular activities. Main purposes of the F. F. A. arc: development of agricultural leadership, stimulation of interest in farming occupations, encouragement of cooperation, improvement of the farm home and its surroundings, providing needed educational and recreational activities for its members, and encouragement of scientific farming. Administrative heads of the club are Earl Drebcnstedt, president; Robert Olson, vice-president; Darrald Shenk, secretary-treasurer; Arthur Shaw, reporter. Executive committee consists of Earl Drebcnstedt, Darrald Shenk, Robert Olson, Virgil Lcbra, and Richard Shaw. 31 BnaadcaA.teAA, Making use of the public address system, the public speaking class under the direction of Miss Lohva Wakefield, took a new step in the direction of extra-curricular activities bv presenting a radio play.

The Hopkins football team of 1939, led by all-conference stars, Ralph Bcvcrsdorf and George Chastek. continued their string of consecutive victories to 28. despite the fact that there were many newcomers on the stpiad and that other teams in the conference were well supplied with returning lettermen. After shifting the boys around in the various positions, in order to find a suitable starting lineup. Coach Mactzold took his Warriors into one of the toughest conference races in many years. The Purple and Gold started the season against a strong team from Excelsior which had several regulars back in the line-up. The game was closely contested and resulted in a scoreless tic. On September 29. the Mactzold Men traveled to Kobbinsdalc where they met a team which was selected to be a title contender bv the coaches in the I.ake Conference. Kobbinsdalc was leading by a score of 6-0 with a few minutes to play; at this point the Warriors tried a trick plav and scored a touchdown. The conversion was missed and the team had to be satisfied with another tic game. The next game on the schedule was against the Little Gophers of University High. The game was plavcd on the home field and turned out to be a thrilling game, despite the illness of several of the Warriors. The Little Gophers scored their lone V) touchdown in the first quarter and then settled down to play a defensive game. The final score was 7 to o. On Friday, the thirteenth, the team went over to St. Louis Park to battle with another title contender. After playing brilliant ball in the first half the fellows made several costly errors which resulted in defeat after Park got its speedster, Ralles, loose on a 60-yard run for the winning touchdown. The score-. 13 to 7. The following week Mound invaded the Hopkins domain and bumped into a leant that had found new spirit. The Warriors ran the Mound team ragged for two quarters scoring several touchdowns. The final score standing at 20 to 7 in favor of Hopkins. In the final game of the season, Wayzata came to Hopkins with the intention of spoiling the home-coining celebration. The seniors on the team, who had vowed to play their best game, went to work and pushed Wayzata all over the gridiron and after the battle clouds lifted Hopkins was declared the winner, 19 to 6. The seniors on the team were: Shenkyr, Chastek, Beversdorf, Hart, Drebenstedt, . ubrecht, Vhacmcn, Jorgensen, Schmcidcl, Bezener, Stevens, and Vraspir. Only two boys were selected to the all-conference team. They were Ralph Beversdorf, at left end, and George Chastek, right end. Several boys will return next year to bolster the championship hopes once more. Its on y on occasions Y kc this that matter-of-fact Captain Ralph Beversdorf Is up In the air. Yor s fine playing Ralph was selected for the MWonfetewce squad. 31 Pictured below arc the basketball experts of the 1939-40 season with Coaches Mactzold and Holcher.

Hopkins high school’s fighting, but rather inexperienced Warriors ended the past season far ahead of expectations. Coach Mactzold would have been well satisfied if they would have won 50 per cent of their games; instead they won about 75 per cent of them and finished 75 per cent of them and Conference tied with Excelsior. The Warriors started out the campaign by downing last year’s champs. Excelsior, 28-22, at Excelsior. Hopkins led most of the game and the strong performances of some new men looked impressive. Next in line they dumped one of the strong favorites, St. I.ouis Park. 24-20, on the local floor. Hopkins then went out to Mound and swamped them, 38-28. Mound, too, had been a favorite as a result of their decisive victory’ over U. high. But all good things must come to an end and so “Red Sochaki’s spirited Robins upset Hopkins, 31-29. Hopkins missed many good chances although they too fought against some bad breaks. Hopkins next beat U. High. 27-21. on the large Armory floor. The Warriors started the second half of the race bv again downing Excelsior, 35-30. on the floor in a bang-up game that wasn’t decided 38 until the fin.il seconds. Hopkins then fell victim to a nifty Park ream, 33-29, and dropped into second place. Hopkins bear VVay-zata after this. Mound then upset the Warriors, 28-27, and put them out of the race. Hart was outstanding even in defeat. Some members of the squad had been sick just before the game. The Warriors made quick work of Robbinsdale. 56-20. and got revenge for that early season defeat. The Warriors wound up the campaign by beating U. High in a thriller, 31-27. In the sub-district game Hopkins literally swamped U. High, 25-5. In the district play Hopkins lost out in the first round to a tall, experienced Waconia team. FINAL STANDINGS LAKE CONFERENCE, mo Team— W. L. Pet. Opp. I'ts. Pts.

Bob Hart was the best liked player on the team. The reason for that is not because he is treasurer of the Senior class but because he comes under the general heading of “a right guy.” 39 Toi Row: Student Manager. Caswell Zajlcek. Doujrlas Shcnkyr.

The Track team, led by co-captains Ralph Bevcrsdorf and Douglas Shcnkyr made an excellent showing even though seriously handicapped by the lack of a cinder track on which to train. Doug is holder of the school shotput record and Bevcrsdorf is rated as the best all-around athlete at Hopkins. During the track season the team competed in several dual meets, namely with Wayzata, Mound, and other schools. They also competed in the Mound relays and the district and regional meets. tiacJz Last year only one trophy was captured during the track season and that was won in the Mound relays when the two-mile relay team came blazing to the finish line a lap ahead of all competition. The relay team consisted of the following men: Seymour Thimscn, Robert Good. Ralph Bevcrsdorf, and Adrian Arlt. As in years that have passed, the seniors won the annual inter-class tournament by winning points in the special events while the juniors took honors in the sprints. The juniors finished second-best followed by the sophomores and frosh. The Echoes went to press too early to announce results in this year’s track events. However, members of the track team were swinging into a heavy training routine, especially during sixth period every day. Students who had vacant periods worked out in the field below the assembly windows and they were the cynosure of all eyes in the assembly as they did so. 10 1. Bevcr. 2. You-cur. 3. Looey. 4.

Meet You at “Jeg’s” CANDIES SUNDAES SODAS LUNCHES SCHOOL SUPPLIES JORGENSON BROS. 53 75 YEARS 4 PIONEERING PROGRESS IN THIS modern era of swiftly moving events—of sudden changes and vigorous competition, only those things which possess inherent merit and which qualify as CONSRUCTIVE can hope to endure. Testimony to this obvious truth is the progressive service which for 75 years Minneapolis-Moline has given to the American farmer and to the general development of agriculture. . . In the men who have guided the destinies of this Company and in the engineers who have designed Minneapolis-Moline Farm Machinery, agriculture has found friend, helper, and constant harbinger of the NEW. To improve methods of farm operation and to synchronize the machinery needs of the farmer with the demands of modern markets—these major purposes have animated the history of Minneapolis-Moline. Glimpsing ahead from this, our 75th Anniversary Year, the future looms with potential means of still further lessening manual effort for the farmer, of reducing his production costs, and of injecting greater comfort into ALL machines necessary to his business . . . To the successful unfoldment of these means Minneapolis-Moline dedicates itself. Minneapolis - Moline Power Implement Company Sesota MINNEAPOLIS-MOLINE WISHES TO EXTEND ITS MOST HEARTY GREETINGS AND CONGRATULATIONS TO THE HOPKINS HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATING CLASS OF 1940. 54 Experience is a great teacher. And the 75 year old experience of Minneapolis-Moline in pioneering improvements in farm machines and developing new machines stands MM tractor and implement users in good stead. Minneapolis-Moline has made many notable contributions to agricultural progress in its plows, straddle row cultivators, grain drills, and planters, and more recently in tractors and tractor attached tools and in harvesting machinery. MM Twin City tractors were one of the two first really engineered lines of tractors, and have been built along lines now adopted as standard for three years longer than any tractors of modem design still built. In 1930 MM produced the original quick-on—quick-ofi line of implement attachments, and today each MM Universal Model tractor has available for it a complete line of tilling, planting, and cultivating attachments for greater tractor utility and economy. The MM Harvestor. first introduced in 1934, was the original light weight, high capacity combine for harvesting all crops. A leading seller since its first year. MM Harvestors arc now available in four popular sizes. Minneapolis-Moline offers a complete line of quality implements and machines for animal power and tractor power, for all types of farming and for all soils, and a complete line of farm tractors and industrial tractors and engines. MM modem tractors and machines Increase efficiency of fanning operations and provide greater profits for users and distributors alike. Minneapolis-Moline is noted for its high quality corn Huskors. They do a real thorough job of removing the husks from the ears and leaving clean undamaged com. Farmers who desire to shell their com find that the Model A”, “B' or “D” MM shellers are “BUILT to do the work” in a minimum of time and with ease. MM shellers are simple and durable in construction and they are designed to handle the corn with care. THE MIGHTY MASTER OF ALL CROPS Now Mlnncapoll s-M o J 1 n e Introduces THE HARVESTOR 69'’—Again after years of field testing and research. We say THE HARVESTOR ”69 Is the new Mighty Master of nil crops and that It TOO set a new standard In light weight, high capacity combines that will be hard to match even years from now. We believe that THE HARVESTOR 69 will prove to be the best performer under all combining conditions of any combine anywhere near Its size. Two of the big reasons are the large 48-Inch steel cylinder with forged steel rasps and steel welded concave similar to those used on the original MM HARVESTORS. A look at the HARVESTOR sell-out record year after year Is sufficient proof that the MM type of threshing mechanism does a superior Job under all conditions year-In. year-out—and Is one outstanding reason for MM HARVESTOR success everywhere. THE NEW HARVESTOR 69 has many exclusive features that have been proved in the field to provide better all around performance, and to justify its title, the Mighty Master of All Crops.” Get complete facts NOW! ! !
