The Last, The Largest, nd The Best With wide eyes and shaking knees, our class, the largest yet, entered the Senior high to take our places. Under the leadership of our president, Bob Baer, we sold pencils and sweat shirts to build up our treasury. Oratorical honor was brought to our class by Pat Miley and sports began to take its place as Cliff Bloberger started that year as fullback and six other boys wan letters in football. Climaxing the football season was the homecoming, when we selected Ruth Strain as our attendant to Queen Lottie Calvin. With an unequaled record of 47 straight victories it was a great year for Hopkins as they won the State Basketball championship for the second year in a row. Roger Peterson and Jack Hlavacek represented our class on this famous team. Again the fairer sex shared the spotlight when Joie Winge represented us as Queen Betty Wenzel's attendant. As Juniors, 'll of our boys received their football letters. With Jack Hlavacek and Ronnie Spott on the starting basketball five, we stretched our victory string to 65 before the heartbreaking loss to Minneapolis Patrick Henry. We won the football float contest and decorated Mrs. Nelson's room for basketball homecoming. We chose as our attendants, Theresa Hesse and Marilyn Gartner. ln the annual dogpatch election, Janice Schwisow won as Daisy Mae. Tom Onstad, Tom Brown, and Jerry Halverson broke a state record with their SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS: Jon Holseth, Secretary, Janice Weidman, Treasurer, Dave Bakken, Vice-President: CC 0ll NelS0Fl, Pfesldenl' vowel' 'FP ,fi A ,....

The never-to-be-forgotten Cherry Blossom banquet and Rhapsody in Blue prom were the highlights of this year. The last, the largest, and the best. As seniors, we realized we had reached the heights of our school years. To begin the year just right, our football team rose to third in the state and became Lake Conference Champions. Seven men made the All-Conference team and Bert Fristedt was selected all-state. Leading our school as cheerleaders were Sonia Carlson, Dick Jacobsen, Phyllis Kokesh, and Joie Winge. Her royal highness, Judy Dahill and her lovely attendants, Mary O'Brien and Kay Cagley reigned over our football homecoming, As seniors we initiated the alumni open-house and the Winter Sports Appreciation Days. The royal court included Roger Peterson as our king, Phyllis Kokesh, queen, and Barbara Brill and Sonia Carlson as her attendants. Carroll Nelson was our capable president for both our Junior and Senior years. Bob Foster was Li'l Abner of Sadie Hawkins Day. As the last class to graduate from the old Hopkins High School build- ing, we oFfer our thanks to our teachers, advisors, and our classmates for making our school days an experience we will always remember. .lt W J f l. 1 tat l , 3 i
