September, l‘H4 found 102 students with the newly acquired tide of juniors trooping b; to 'I e Olde Hopkins High. This time, they f to climb two flights of steps to get to the place they would call home for the next two years. No sooner had they settled down than Miss Ludwig called for tryouts for the junior class play, Never 1 x Late, which, like every thing else attempted by this class, was a huge success. 'I his year the juniors were not only well represented in athletics, hut also on the cheering squad—all six cheerleaders were juniors. History-making events continued to happen — the Tri-Y was founded and the Hi-Y started its scholarship. Chuck Hall served his second term as president. School that year wasn’t all study. In connection with their American history the juniors made a trip to the Capitol. Using the money earned from the class play the juniors gave the seniors a prom, the best ever given, they thought. The theme was Davy Jones Locker (mermaids and fish were floating around for weeks afterward). Finally in the fall of l‘M5, they reached the senior high school. The S( seniors missed the fourteen meml ers of their class who w e r e away doing .t heir duty for Uncle Sam. The Hall administration was re-elected to serve a third term. Even before senior privileges were gotten used to, the class was off on another trip. This time to Faribault and St. Peter, to visit the homes for the blind, the deaf, and the insane. The athletes who had shown such promise a couple of years back made Coach’s dreams come true by winning Lake Conference championships in both basketball and football. Under the capable direction of Mrs. Peterson the seniors gave Sing for Your Supper for their class play. No sooner was the “stardust” prom over than graduation was upon the veteran students, who such a short time before had entered good old HHS as green frosh. Soon they will take their places in the world with high school days just a memory—never to be forgotten. Left to right . . . The Pauly slaters—Kay and Chnr . . Jean Nordqulat—cute Isn't she. Donn? .

NE September clay back in 1942, Mrs. Guernsey surveyed her new freshmen class and optimistically wondered if they were going to he better behaved than their predecessors. The 136 frosh from Glen Lake, Burwell, Oak Knoll, Clear Springs and, of course, Hopkins, all took Eng--lish and general science. The one memory of general science which will probably always stick in their minds took place the day Miss Oberg had everyone line up and hold hands while she turned the handle of her little hand generator. The freshmen had their first experience in politics when they elected Ed Prochas-ka president, and Sylvia Swanson secretary-treasurer. Not to be outdone by previous classes they tried their hand at play acting for the benefit of the Junior Red Cross. Finishing up a year ACTION which passed all too quickly, was the annual picnic at Excelsior. T he next fall the 112 remaining members of the class of 1946 changed buildings. In the senior high they soon found out what the term “underclassmen means. Chuck Hall reigned as sophomore class president and strangely enough the class had very few meetings. That was the year when HHS got its new loyalty song and the mixed chorus was started. The soph athletes, who began to take their places alongside the upperclass let-termcn on field and floor, showed promise. The climax of the year was (in their estimation, as good as the prom) the sophomore class party which set a record for the number of cokes guzzled. Left to right . . .

Warriors share in 1945 championship BY OBSERVING the final standings for the 1945 Lake Conference football season, it can be readily seen that the Warriors under Coach Maetzold had a successful season in taking a share in the championship with St. Louis Park. This is the fifth straight year they have won it, and the tenth in the 14 years Mr. Maetzold has been here. Seven of these 10 championships have been undisputed. 24-7—With Dick Hilsen as captain and leader, the Warriors moved into their first encounter, a practice game with Chaska. Led by halfback Neal Abraham and fullback Doug Arndt they trounced the Valley team 24-7. Though not very impressive looking in the opener, the team gained valuable experience. 7-6—The Conference schedule got under way September 21, as the high-flying Robins from Robbinsdale invaded the home field. Dick Hilsen proved to be the winning factor in the Warriors’ victory, as he placekickcd the deciding point. After Robbinsdale fumbled on their own 30 yard line in the second period, Hopkins tcx)k advantage of the break and drove to the seven yard line where Abraham raced over for the score. The Robins’ score came in the third period. 26-0—On a pretty, crisp, Friday evening, September 28, the Excelsior Blue Jays entertained the locals, but they were turned back to the tune of 26-0. Doug Arndt and Neal Abraham each scored twice to pace the Warriors, but Gerry Slavin, playing equally as well, had two scores called back because of penalties. A bright spot was the improvement of Owens and Empanger in the line on defense, and Culshaw and Slavin in the backficld. The reserves got a good chance to gain experience. 13-0—Neal Abraham scored both of Hopkins' touchdowns against U High, as the Warriors won on their own field 13-0, October 5. U High had a good line and a rugged back field, but actually were outplayed more than the score indicated. Hilsen, Hall, Luther, Myhr, and Larson all showed vast improvement in fundamentals to help mould a team victory. The second half was scoreless, but a new passing combination Matteson to McQueen clicked twice in the last im Echoes — 21
