Hopkins High School - Warrior Yearbook (Minnetonka, MN)

Text from Pages 1 - 70 of the 1941 volume:

Our 194 1 Echoes records for school and community a years events. The senior class of 41 proudly pre- sents this book as a sincere attempt to accur- ately and interestingly review two semesters of happenings. The Whole effort of the senior class with Jimmy Manchester, editor, Paul Steiner, managing editor, Bob Aspelin, busi- ness manager, and many others, went into this yearbook. Where agriculture and industry meet, the Hopkins community stands unique. Murals in the post office portray the quietness of rural middle America, While but two blocks away a huge industrial enterprise stirs With all the power of the machine. Only a school, democratic and free, could possibly be strong enough to fuse two such strong factors into a progressive, yet sound community life. p- As A Purpose throughout the entire book we pre- sent the school as the hub about which the community life revolves. It is a training center preparing youth for the workshop of life. It is a recre- ational center to which the commun- ity turns through much of the year. It is an intellectual center in which the highest ideals of democracy take root. As guides through the Echoes, you will have two typical students, a boy and a girl, to introduce each section. So, lets enter the Hopkins high school of 1940-41. Our guides suggest that you refer to These Contents Looking in on Classes. Here you meet all the students who attended Hopkins high school from the ninth grade up. Class by class they move on. What Goes On. Hard work, yet pleasant is the part of the day in which the students participated in activities outside of classroom supervision. Playing for Fun and Health. Hundreds turn daily for relaxation in the gym. A section of this yearbook is devoted to boys athletics in a typical setting. We Present this edition of the Echoes to our athletic director and coach. His record of Wins in his 12 years at Hopkins is one of the best in the state. During that period this school has won more football and basketball titles in the Lake conference than any other school. To such a record much honor is due. But more than that, Butzy has inculcated a love of playing, a desire for fairness, and ambi- tions for competent work in every athlete. And in addition- Russell S. Maetzold For His Contributions to life in this community we offer our re- spects. With the introduction of night foot- ball, the Hopkins schools encouraged more people to witness the gridiron contests. Crowds of two to three thousand fans. have not been disappointed with the efforts of Mr. Maetzold to produce consistently strong com- petitors. The 1937 eleven gained state-wide recognition With a perfect record of no losses, no ties, and no points scored against it. Long winter months are broken With many basketball games to Which thousands may also come. An enthusiastic fandom has fol- lowed Maetzold-coached cagers to the Uni- versity fieldhouse several times to see them Win from other district champions. Butzy, please accept our congrats! S. C. Gustafson Mrs. S. C. Guernsey Milton A. GeerOx , d W I sit . For School Leadership there can be no substitute for a faculty which is well-prepared and capable. In the years of high school work the students of Hopkins have found the teachers to be willing counselors and sincere friends in work and play. We salute the teachers! There are the three Gis in the administration of the school. The Iirst is Mr. S. C. Gustafson, superin- tendent of the elementary and high schools of Dist- rict 19, Who is now completing his fourth year in that capacity. Supreme in the senior high is Principal Milton A. Geer. With his crew of assistants in the office, he must direct all the details. Mrs. S. C. Guernsey as principal of the junior high school finds time to guide in the difficult but interesting years of early high school. With the ever-increasing expansion of the curri- culum, the faculty saw fit this year to introduce a guidance program Which called for a meeting each Monday morning and additional counseling individ- ually by a teacher trained in personnel work. From the study of the rench classics to that of home economics by the boys may seem a long way, but that's what the faculty of Hopkins high offers. So varied are the courses offered by the teachers as well as their individual interests that no classiflcation can easily be made. Meet the English Teachers! In the junior high is Mary Turner, director of the junior class play, while in the upper classes Lohva Wakefield coaches the senior play and other speech activities. Girls physical education and direction of senior class activities are the duties of Helen Arduser and Rose Macemon, respectively. Ellen di Giambattista teaches the modern languages and supefvises junior class functions. Many teachers are given so-called spe- cial departments. In commercial work we find Agnes Koehler, adviser to the honor society, and M. W. Zipoy, business super- visor of the Hi-Crier. Eva Antonelli heads the home economics department while Charles Selden directs a large industrial arts iield. Band and orchestra, together with assistantts work in the shop, are the duties of Armand Christiansen. In the special field of agriculture is Hugh Firmage. Russell Maetzold directs all boys physical education and heads the coaching staff in football, basketball, and track. Stella Thompson directs the high school glee club. Library supervision has been under the direction of Elizabeth Bowing who has been assisted through part of this year by Olive Perry. Science, social studies, and mathematics complete the offering of subjects of the school. Student Council adviser Donald Holcher teaches modern and American history and assists with basketball and track coaching. Yearbook and Hi-Crier supervision are extra-curricular duties of Ardy H. Johnson who teaches journalism, American history and social science. The school day of Julia Larson is filled with mathematics and modern history classes, and she advises the sophomore class. Teaching chemistry, physics, and biology are classroom activities of Vern Armstrong, who assists in football. Hildred Oberg teaches junior high science, while Vivian Humphrey, part-time guidance director, teaches mathematics to freshmen. Out-of-school hours' linds the stalf in community activities of various kinds. Some hold membership of local Rotary and Lions clubs or in the commercial club of Hopkins. Others assist in religious and music activities which help to inspire to a better community life. All are an accepted part of Hopkins.

Looking in on Classes from the outside, we observe a busy educa- tional plant. One class, that of 86 seniors, in the last stages of the high school assembly line is about to be graduated. Three other classes are ready to move along. In the laboratory, the students perform experiments Which come the closest to actual life that the school can oITer. Yet, whether itts the test tube, the English reading, the social studies argument, or the exercise in a typing class, the student must realize that it is only by improving that any joy comes to achievement. Democracy rules the classroom. There is only the superiority of those WhO are Willing to learn. Prejudice sinks to naught where the Brens, the Schmeidels, the Smetanas, the Olsens, the De Veaus, and the Rogers are Americans all. kJ Esther Anderson, Dorothy Arlt, Robert Aspelin, Hazel Beers, Myrtle Benson, Dorothy Block, Eugene Bredeson, Sybelle Burns, Myrtle Bye, Dorothy Cerveny, Robert Christison, Catherine Coyne. . 9 Wallace Dean, James DeVeau, Helen Dianish, Grace Dumke, Clarence Dunn, Lorraine Dvorak, Jack Empanger, Dorothy Ender, Paul Erickson, Lucille Fahlstrom,f Louis Faucher, Robert 811 er.

Young democracy received its first training and its first actual application in everyday school life. Education is like home lifeethe most is done With a friendly home group. Tastes vary and so do talents. The organi- zations found in the high school are com- posed of most of the students chosen to the various groups by democratic means. For more fellowship, there was born this year a local chapter of the Hi-Y. For practical ap- plication of the principals learned in journal- ism come the two publications. For artistic development you can Iind the musical organizations. School spirit! What it is and Where, is determined mainly by the activity of clubs and informal groups. The Pep club and H-club are only leaders in spirit. Each organ- ization is only a community organization in miniature. Back row: Paul Steiner, Jeanette Swanson, Robert Teply, Gerald Kloss. Front row: Louis Faucher, Margaret Jerdee, Mr. Holcher, Marion Hagen, Harold Faucher.

The council consists of nine mem- bers. The president of each class automatically be- comes a member. If the president is a boy, the other member chosen is a girl, and vice versa. The other three members are elected at large from and by the student body. The principal and one faculty mem- ber act as advisers. The Student Council has the following ofiicers: Paul Steiner, president; Betty Porte, treasurer; and Harold Faucher, secretary. Mr. Holcher is adviser of the Hopkins student council. The student council is really the government of the school. It may grant charters to clubs and or- ganizations and take them away. The council makes and enforces laws necessary for the betterment of the school, and it regulates extra-curricular activities . of the school organizations. Some of the programs presented by the Council this year were as follows: the Ritz Trumpeteers; Crime Does Not Pay , a movie; Parkinson En- semble; the exchange program with Wayzata; and Stanley Osborne, a lecturer who spoke about Australia.

Honor, Labofs Reward, can well be the mottoes of the Na- tional Honor society above and the Quill and Scroll group pictured to the right. The National Honor society was founded in 1903 to stimulate and re- cognize scholarship in the secondary schools of the country. Each year twelve seniors are chosen for membership in this society by the faculty or a committee selected from the faculty by the principal. To be eligible for membership, one must be in the upper one-fourth of his re- spective class in scholarship. Charac- ter, leadership, and service are also considered in the selection of the members. For honors in a special held the school holds membership in the Quill and Scroll, national scholastic writers society. High scholastic stand- ings and general ability and proflci- ency in writing are entrance require- ments. Paul Steiner was also eligible to this society this year but he de- Top row: Alice Jurisch, Jeannette Petrak, Mable 'd d t t . .n Vollrath.

The Hi-Crier is the most complete record of the Hopkins high school. It informs the students about school activities, promotes school projects, and teaches students the principles of journalism. Leaders on this years publication include Alice Jurisch, editor; Paul Steiner, news editor; J eannette Petrak, exchanges; Phyllis J aps, and Mabel Vollrath, organizations; Harold Nelson and Junior Skoglund. sports; Margaret Jerdee, features; Roland Peteler, business manager; and John Kraemer, circulating manager. Mr. Ardy H. Johnson is literary adviser and Mr. M. W. Zipoy is business adviser. The Hi-Crier has seen a great improvement since the introduction of the journalism class two years ago. This class studies the makings of a iirst rate paper and applies What it learns on the Hi-Crier.

Those are the feelings of the ones who have had to carry most of the re- sponsibility of this, the fifth Echoes, of Hopkins high. You are stuck with it, dear people, and all we want now is to balance the-you guessed it-budget. Much of the toil for this thing fell on the should- ers of Paul Steiner and Jimmy Manchester, manag- ing editor and editor, respectively. Bob Aspelin helped plenty on hnances. Photographers Don Hagen and Carrell Kucera did heavy work on preparing the panels, as assistant editors. John Kraemer and Roland Peteler helped chase ads, while Lillian Homola, Dick Swanson, and Marlys Hagman chased everyone for subscriptions.

The Band Played On,5 22 and ttBeat Me Dimitritt were seasonal hits through the winter months of 1941 as more serious things concerned the high school band. Playing for pep fests, concerts, and parades, the band under the direction of Mr. Armond Christian- sen, contributed its part in school life. They marched in the Raspberry Day, Harvest Festival, and Aqua- tennial parades. At Robbinsdale, April 18, the band played the contest piece, ttEroico by Beethoven. Seniors graduating are Eugene Bredeson, bass horn; Heln Dianish, trumpet; Lillian Homola, French horn; Jimmy Manchester, bassoon; Milas Quigley, trumpet; Shirley Sundquist, clarinet; and Theodore Vasko, trombone. Band officers are Carrell Kucera, president; Russell Soulen, vice-president; Gilmond Jenstad, secretary; and James Weyhe, treasurer. Ten schools came to Hopkins April 10 to take part in the annual music festival sponsored by the Hennepin County Council of Parent-Teacher associ-- ations. After numbers by various choruses and a massed band, all the singers joined the bands in the song, 11The Land of Hope and Glory. A11 sang from the gym-stage of the auditorium.

The organization is composed entirely of senior girls. The Pep club was organized in 1933 for the pur- pose of increasing school spirit and pep for the various athletic contests. Officers for the 1940-1941 Pep club were Dorothy Block, president; Dorothy Johnson, vice president; Jeannette Petrak, secretary- trea surer. Miss Arduser is adviser for the club. There are 20 girls picked in the spring of their junior year by the 20 girls already in the club, together with all the junior girls. The 20 receiving the largest number of votes become the new members. The girls present a short skit, numbers by the band, and a talk by some member of the school, be- fore each home football and basketball game. To make money the girls sell candy at all the home games. With tonsils and bicuspids in evidence the cheerleaders seem to be all awhirl. All six of them led the student body in cheering throughout the year. They are, rotating counter-clockwise, Catherine Coyne, J ohn Kraemer, Dorothy Block, Roland Peteler, Marie Wellberg and Robert Aspelin. tiButzy Maetzoldis letter men? All of iem!

On the gym floor and on the playing field, exercise, relax- ation, and comradeship are sought for. The best-liked athlete is he Who knows the differ- ence between a sportsman and a sport. Hopkinst Warriors have won many glories. This year has been no exception. A near-tie for the football crown and a clear title for the Lake conference cage championship tell the story. But that is only half of it. Interscholastic competition is fun-fun for the players and fun for the cheering students Who catch ttschool spirit for the first time While giving ttFifteen big rahs for the team. 0n the bench.

This year the team finished in third place, with five victories, one being a non-conference tilt With Waconia, one defeat, and one tie. Behind well- timed interfer- ence, Frenchy Faucher, reserve half of last fall's team, makes a formidable bid for yardage in a s c r i m m a g e against Blake 5 c h o o l. T h e Warriors led the conference in scoring with 86 p o in t s a n d showed the best but 20 points. Among those who played their last game last fall for Hopkins high, was Bud Dunn, quarter- back and co-captain, who was one 'of the fastest and shiftiest ball carriers in the conference. Co-captain Louie Faucher, halfback, was the best defensive man on the team. Both Bud and Louie made the All-Conference team announced by Minnesota coach Bernie Bierman at the A11- Lake Conference banquet given by the Hopkins Lions c1ub,December 3. Other seniors included Jack Empanger, a hard-working end'who improved as the season progressed, peppery Engner Johnson, guard. a tireless team player, Merny Pearson, a hustling center at all times, and Paul Erickson, a first string reserve half plenty valuable when a re- placement was necessary. Three other seniors who saw service during their high school career were Ernie Severson, end, Herb Mason, back, and Bob Aspelin, lineman. Robbinsdale won the title with two ties, ope being with Hopkins. Had the Warriors copped that one they would have shared the crowu with Park, the second place winners.

Champions on the Hardwood were the Hopkins cagers who amazed their fol- lowers by establishing one of the best records in the state, winning 17 games before being defeated. They won the Lake Conference title easily, took the district title, and then were runners-up in the regional tourney to Minneapolis Washburn. The Warriors opened the season against a picked alumni team and were beaten, but from here on the Maetzoldmen gave a good account of themselves by going through the conference schedule without a defeat. Hopkins advanced to the district tournament at Mound by virtue of beating Wayzata in the syub-district at Park. In the district, the Warriors advanced to the Iinals by beating Deephaven, and a good Chaska team. The finals found the Maetzoldmen pitted against a tall Waconia team which was the Minnesota Valley conference champion, but the Warriors had 32 Here are the loyal assistants to Mr. Maetzold.

The Warriors entered the region live tournae ment at the Iieldhouse as the district 18 representa- tive being the only undefeated team in the state to advance to the regionals. In the first game the Purple and Gold trounced St. Cloud Tech for their finals berth. Giving all they had the final night the Warriors were defeated by Minneapolis Washburn, 34 to 25, after leading for better than three quarters. Even though the team did not get to the state tourn- ament, they did build up a line record. Many honors were given the boys.

Among the events in Which the tracksters take part are the Metropolitan meet held early in April at the University Iieldhouse, the Mound relays in May, and the regular high school meets for district, regional, and state honors. Because this yearbook must go to press so early very little can be written at u this time on results, but a large number of runners are hard at work as spring returns. Top roweGlynn, Ziegler, J.

The title holder contends however, that if it wasnt for Marie Wellbergs hints on diets, he never would be in the shape he is. Her recipes for cakes, which Mr. Rogers ea 5 every day tthe cakes, not the recipest, are a concrete example of that statement. Arthur Shaw is the chief electrician on the Queen Mary. When Arthur was first approached and asked if he wanted to work for the Queen Mary, he said that he wouldn,t work for a woman, but when he found it was a tramp steamer and owned by Junior Skoglund, the job turned out to be what he was look- ing for; something to tinker on, to see if it would run. Delores Schmidt, a strict temperance lady, is deny- ing charges to the effect that among her relations number the family of Schmidtts Beer. Her lawyer, Earl Miller, is digging up the family tree to get at the root of the case.

Clifford slitzke was offered a job as ariist for Munsingwear at $10,000 a year, but declined the offer for unknown reasons. Grace Dumke, well- known designer, flew in from Seattle, Washington, and is now working for $12,000 a year.

The act was successful until the sharp eyes of Helen Rasmussen from a mile up detected a thin Iilm-like diaphram that checked the fall before Jimmy hit the water. The case was taken to the Supreme Court and Elaine Topka, judge over mind and matter, decreed that as no revenue was taken in, the deception was not unlawful.

Just got a letter from my old home town: says that fashion-expert Lillian H'omola has gone back to the farm for inspirations. In taking in the 1961 sports scene we see Hopkins gridders running over Wayzata 43 to 3. Seems like Wallace Dean just doesnt have the material. Junior Skoglund, Jr. is the hottest basketball player in the conference and John Kraemeris youngest is really an outstanding cheerleader no matter how you look at it. Fourth assistant copy boy on the Hopkins Globe, Gene Bredeson, just received a medal for his long- service in that capacity. Helen Dianish claims to have made a finger nail polish more horrible than any other ever manufac- tured previously. Catherine Coyne is permanent cheerleader at Vassar. Rah, Rah, Kate! Alice Jurisch is the only little senior of 41 who stayed home to find her success. She tutors football players at the University of Minnesota to keep them on the team. Laona Johnson got tired of getting lost in the shuffle with all the other Johnsons so she married a Smith! What do you think of the new chain 'of hash shops that are running the White Castle out of business? Itts run by Sybelle Burns. Lorraine Dvorak decided she was descended from Anton of the same name so she began writing music. Joan Hollister takes a trip to Florida to California to Minnesota to Maine every year. She plans to write a series of articles for Travel Magazine about it. Paul Erickson is on the beach at Waikiki looking for brunettes. Marlys Hagman is chief hostess at Camp Dix. Army bomber hostess, you know. Possibly the best isolationist we have seen is Fern Lebra who has gone to live with the pigeons ion Wake Isle. HEREiN THERE MAY 32 1961 Robert Aspelin, Carrel Kucera, Merwin Pearson, and Willard Olsen, are the Wheaties Quartet. They must have improved since ,41, if you can remember. Hazel Beers stopped in the other day. Her ears haven't been frozen since that cold snap in the winter of 41. They say the president is going to appoint Harold Nelson, Secretary of Treasury. He is the only man who can understand government finance since the New Deal raised havoc with it. Of course, Edna Golden has devised systems 'of personal credit and spreading out payments that baiTle even Harold. Roland Peteler and John Kraemer of the food sun- ply commission just returned from Europe.

For a hayl'oft show it has taken in a bigger gate than the average play does in a regular season run. Dorothy Johnson has done an excellent piece of work in the part of Sally Smith which has been rated the most difficult part in any modern play. Playing opposite her is Jack Empanger, a rather 0b- scure actor, who should and most likely will obtain stardom on this show alone. The play itself is the best of its kind in years. Maybe it is because it is a product of Marcella Kucherais famous writing style. It is expected to exceed the widely discussed show tHellzapoppin .
