Looking Back N September 1941, 124 bright-looking students made their way into the Hopkins junior high school as the freshman class. Warren Schnabel was elected president of the class with Robert Clausen as vice-president and Glen Larson as secretary-treasurer. That was a great year when the class of ’45 ruled the junior high. Then, too, there was that nice rainy day they picked for the annual frosh picnic at Excelsior. Thus, passed quickly the first high school year for our seniors. In September 1942, only 112 remained to make their timid, inquiring entry into the senior high school as sophomores. Robert Clausen was elected president of the sophs and John Mattcson was secretary-treasurer. The class was green, as people say, but they surely showed the school that they could really take over things, when they sold the most tickets and elected both football and basketball homecoming queens, Delores Wendell and Joyce Moore respectively. One of the highlights of that year was, of course, that super sophomore party. September 1943, Juniors! Only one notch from the top! The enrollment dropped to 99. This was probably due, in a small part, to the war. The juniors showed the seniors the stuff they were made of by again earning the chance to pick the homecoming queens. Audrey Noleen was chosen to reign as queen of the football Class of | T IS interesting to peer into the future, so let’s I try it. First I take a tea leaf from each person of the class of ’45. As I brew this mixture ten years suddenly elapse. I find myself in that great, history making berry metropolis, Hopkins. There seems to be great confusion as if preparing for a big celebration. I step into a bakery shop and find Dorothy Bruhn, the owner, busily decorating a huge cake. She tells me the city is awaiting the arrival of the famous comedian and dramatic actress (two in one), Joyce Moore. I leave the shop and wander down the avenue. In Souba Park, dedicated to the city by the fabulously wealthy Emil Souba, I find Dorothy Mallery and her orchestra practicing for the program. Cliff Wiedman is her featured pianist. n Four Years homecoming, and Dona Christison was chosen as basketball queen. The class put on the annual class play which happened to be, “Anne — What’s Her Name,” a hilarious combination of mystery and comedy. Proceeds from the play financed the Junior-Senior Prom, a gala event of mid-May despite the war. Three intellectual juniors — Virginia Bertrand, Stanley Pelcl, and Eugene Schnabel were inducted into the National Honor Society at an impressive ceremony in the latter part of the year. Ah, at last! Seniors! An enrollment of 94. It seemed pretty lonesome with the class of ’44 gone, at first, but the teachers didn’t give them much time for thinking about anything; instead gave them themes to write and reports to make. Glen Larson was re-elected president, John Mattcson was elected vice-president, and Ethel Nitz was secretary-treasurer. The seniors made history by being the only class ever to have chosen homecoming queens six consecutive times —every year in the senior high. Jeanne Barry and Dorothy Winkler reigned as queens of football and basketball homecomings respectively. Six social science class representatives went to a panel discussion at a Rotary Club luncheon during the fall and others distinguished themselves and our school in a variety of ways that will make our class live long in the memory of the faculty and school tradition. '45 in ’55 John Daniels is gathering material for his speech as mayor of the metropolis. Shirley Hola-sek, president of the humane society, is feeding the squirrels. After visiting with several persons I wander into the Hopkins Crier office. Sitting at the switchboard is Donna Hicks. Dorothea Thompson is head of the typists and lone Marsh has the Love-lorn column. Her daily broadcasts are at 2 p.m. but today celebration ceremonies will be heard instead. Marjorie Nelson is proof reader. (No wonder the corny jokes.) Don Monk has taken over the comic strip Dick Tracy. The editor in chief is none other than Ronny Tschimpcr-le. After a short visit, Ronny takes me into the news room. We hear news of the world. (Continued on page 19)
