Section, ‘ftyiotoncf N September 1, 1943, about 140 new students from Oak Knoll, St. Joseph’s, Minnetonka Mills, Glen Lake, and Hopkins gathered in the Junior High Assembly at 8:30. We were then known as Freshmen. John Archambo was elected our first class president as we entered high school. The class of '47 was the oldest class and they took advantage of being upper-classmen— even though it was in the Junior High. 1 think everyone remembers the day in Miss Oln.Tg's science class when we all held hands and she gave us a little shock and also how we had to explain the Diesel engine (and a few other contraptions just like it). Then of course to end our year we went on our annual picnic to Excelsior. And thus passed the first year for our seniors. In September, 1944, last year’s Freshmen and upper-classmen in the Junior High became sophomores and underclassmen in the senior high. Mary Martin was elected president this year. The Tri-Y was formed and five sophs were chosen as members. Our present seniors were very interested in extra-curricular activi- ties: as the day Mrs. Bangh said anyone who wanted to join the chorus, come to the Junior High Auditorium fourth period Monday—and what an enormous turnout she did get! Only a few lucky sophs got in. Also on the athletic field, many of the hoys took their places alongside many of the upperclassmen. This year our class did not have a party, hut still had an enjoyable and successful first year in the Senior High. The next September found our class slightly smaller, hut still many of the old familiar faces were hack at school. This time the class no longer had home rooms but found each a place in the study hall. In October the Juniors chose “Thin Ice’’ as the class play. It was a huge success, despite the unexpected snow storm on the night it was given. Miss Ludwig was the director (and received her first orchid from the class play cast). Tom Myhr was elected president of the class. The Junior ('lass gave a talent show, that really showed the talent the class possessed, (with Harasyn and Archambo as M.C.’s) to make more money for the Prom.

The class tried repeatedly to get the Prom out of school, but to no avail, as it was held in the gym to close the school year. It was called “The Stardust Prom, quite appropriate in ease you saw the millions of stars and planets all over the auditorium. This ended their last year as underclassmen. This select class has finally reached its goal of being upperclassmen. Miss Macemon served as adviser of the class and Johnny Archambo was elected president. Before we knew it, it was time to hand in our term papers for English. Then the Warriors had an undefeated season in basketball, in the Conference winning all twelve games and placing three players on the All-Conference team. They also won the District title by beating Shakopee and our famed old rival—Park. Then on to the Region— the Warriors beat St. Cloud in the first game and lost a heartbreaking game to Minneapolis Marshall 26-25 in the final game. We had two assembly meetings honoring our gallant band of Warriors. The class of 47 had a veteran in the class in the presence of Warren Schnabel. The chorus festival was held at Hopkins this year, and the senior chorus sang better than ever. The class presented “Rebecca as its class play, under the direction of Mr. Sifferle. And on May 3, the Junior-Senior Prom was held. Then on that great day in May, the 29th, the class of ’47 received its diplomas and thereby ended the four years so well spent at Hopkins High School. Cross-cut of life in Hopkins High: Homecoming parade. Parade. Pep Club skit, potential scientists, football captains bear up under the Queen. 7th hour study, relaxing. 18 1947 ECHOES
