I A • Winters can be long and cold in the North Star state, but—they can be beautiful as well. Here the same scene clothed in hoar frost. Foreword This has been an eventful year. Our new building has meant change —a whole new way of (school) life. Habits and customs have been up-rooted. New problems have presented themselves. Only the traditional Hopkins spirit remains the same. We believe problems were meant for testing and solving. They presented a challenge, and with the help of our faculty friends, we met the challenge — solved most of the problems. Another year will be easier, but we're glad our class had the opportunity to help set the pattern for the new life. In the pages that follow, we of the Warrior staff have recorded in word and picture, highlights of this new life. The sensitive reader will be aware of joy and sorrow, frivolity and dead seriousness, excitement and apathy — extremes of which the modern student is a part. And through it all we hope you will find the golden thread which is the Hopkins spirit. We invite you to re-live with us the past school year. 5 A new is ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ building born A building is more than bricks and mortar. Particularly is this true of a school building. It must be the expression of an idea. It is the product of the planning of many minds, the dreams of practical visionaries, the work of many artisans. It must be the cradle for great ideas, fertile ground for seeds of serious thought, a playground for lighter moments. A paradox? No, for such is the high school student of today, and the building must fit him and his many facets. He loves institutions and their stability. He revels in custom and tradition, and his school building must be one that will nurture such. This we have in our new building — the theme of our book. The need for a new senior high became evident some years ago. A bond election was held and passed; but before the idea got entirely through the planning stage, it became evident the District would need elementary, classrooms in a hurry. Schoolplanning leadership was in good hands. Superintendent Tanglen was more aware of the upsurge of births in his District than were the parents themselves, the rush to the suburbs of city-tired families with school-age kids. He counted school census when other wakeful executives counted sheep. Thus it is with men who know their jobs. Fortunate indeed is a superintendent with a top-quality board like that in District 225. With one eye to District-ability-to-pay-for and the other visioning the type of school program a modern, fast-growing suburb needed, this cooperating team achieved a nice balance in the ideas given to the planning architects. These ideas came alive on creative drawing boards and the contractors went to work. We, they, and the community, are proud of the result. It is one of the finest, most complete — and without frills — educational plants in the country. We are proud to be the first senior class in it. The year has been a real experience. Supt. L. H. Tanglen And so, our building has grown from an idea, conceived and nurtured by an educational leader and his education-visioned board. In like manner, our formal education, only an idea a few short years ago, has taken form and been given purpose by the faculty — our good friends, We are grateful to our school and the communities which make up District 225.

TESAR Dedication — To you — who have given so much of yourself in service to our school and our community. To you — who have worked to improve your organization and yourself, with so much success, throughout your years at Hopkins. To you — whose patience with the many sour notes has not overshadowed your insistence for correct ones. To you — whom we all love and respect, we dedicate the 1956 Warrior. 7 John Tesar • In a new building full of dramatic contrasts with points in the old senior high, perhaps the library is the most obvious. Roomy and light, its atmosphere is conducive to both curricular and pleasure reading. In a school whose educational philosophy demands extensive and varied reading, it is an indispensable tool.

MARIE 1937-1955 DENNIS NOVY 1938-1954 Senior class officers Larry Bartels, treasurer and Jim Lund, president, are looking over Clarice Heeler's shoulders at her minutes book. They find the office a good place to get together. Absent was Lyle Wan-drei, vice president. Another unforgettable highlight was the receiving of our class rings, and the honor placed on one of our fellow classmates. Gordon Mork. who was chosen first all-school president, and Dwight Hoffman as vice president. This year's plans, under the direction of the class president Gordon Mork, were realized as our banquet with the chosen theme “20.000 Leagues Under the Sea” and our “American in Paris Prom were successful and accomplished. We also had the privilege of sending the first four exchange students, Gordon Mork , Barbara Anderson, Glen O'Brien and Carol Johnson to Germany. Then this year we entered the new building, feeling pride that we would be the first class to graduate from this beautiful building. This was to become the biggest and best year yet. We began with the excitement of choosing our first football Homecoming Queen, Catherine Miller, and her two charming attendants, Karen Gronli and Daneen Anderson. And during these homecoming activities we put on the Alumni Tea. Merry Ellen Peterson got to the regional Voice of Democracy contest and Linda Huffman was chosen Our three years have been eventful As we seniors receive our diplomas on Graduation day, June 6, many of us will be thinking about the many experiences, activities, knowledge and the counselling we received through the years to make this important day of our lives possible. Thinking back, it seems unlikely that three years ago we entered the old old senior high building just a little fearful of what was ahead. Slowly we made the adjustments under the leadership of our sophomore class president Jimmy Lund. We became a part of the school as we chose our first lovely football attendant. Mary Kay Chamberlin and decorated our first float for the half-time program. Many of us attended our first formal the night of the Winter Sno Swirl, and later attended our first class party. New events seemed always to be happening, with us taking an active part in them and as such, we chose our basketball attendant, Roxie Hackett, and later cheered our basketball team on while it became I ake Conference champions. This new and lively year was climaxed by the Sophomore girls and boys serving at the Junior-Senior banquet and the excitement of the breaking of ground for our new high school building, in which we would be the first class to graduate. Upon returning from our summer vacation, we as juniors began to realize that if our sophomore year had been hectic, our junior year would hold iwicc the activities and duties. We spent many hours working and planning for the important prom and banquet. In order to finance these two projects all of us helped at baked sales, paper drives, dances and concessions at games. Intermingled in this planning was the important choosing of our football homecoming attendant Marcia Thorson. Hopkins Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow. Then the senior class had charge of the Sno Days Coronation ceremony with our exchange student, Kaija Komsi, chosen as our queen with Doris Bla-ger and Demaris Dernier the senior attendents. We were all very proud of our basketball team which became take Conference Champions. It seemed to mean so much more to us. The Banquet and Prom climaxed this year but the administration, teachers, advisers and classmates all helped to make our years unforgettable.

WE. 36 Left, a candid shot of a table of bag-lunchers in the new cafeteria. Through the windows at the rear we see the snow-covered slope of Oak Ridge. An ambitious, hardworking junior class got off to a flying start this year with one goal in mind — the banquet and prom. Bake sales, dances, a pancake supper and concessions were a few of the activities the juniors sponsored this year in an effort to raise funds for these events. I ndcr the direction of advisers Roger Petersen and Delores Schwartzwald, the class chose it's officers. which included: Marlene Andersen, president: Warren Stepanek, vice president; Irene Barton, secretary; and William Miller, treasurer. 'Flic juniors will have pleasant memories to recall as they remember Jean Berge representing them as football homecoming attendant and Marlene Andersen as Sno-Daze attendant. Dave Dragotis, Kent Kucera and Steve Hamilton will be remembered for their prominence in football and basketball, while Warren Stepanek added his talents in football and swimming. Other events of primary importance such as the prom and banquet. will linger in the juniors’ minds long after this year is Finished. The sophomore class entered our new senior high school with the same wide-eyed expression and eagerness as did every other class. They have had enough enthusiasm for two classes. Warren Stepanek creates a crazy droodle for junior class president Marlene Andersen and her fellow officers Irene Barton and Buster Miller. Marlene, at the right, explained the drawing as a proposed prom decoration plan. The underclassmen have a busy year Waiting for a school bus at 3:05 are, left to right, sophomore class prexy Bill North, Janet Bursch, Delores Dvorak and Ken Soltis, fellow officers. Led by their adviser. Mr. Stally, and their president, Bill North, they have carried on a number of activities. They started the year off by sponsoring a successful dance after one of our football games. Selling Winter Sno Daze buttons was another of their projects. It not only turned out to be a lot of fun. but resulted in considerable profit. They proved their originality by their decorations at the big Winter Sno Daze formal. They turned the lunchroom into a beautiful blue and white wonderland. Not only have they contributed to our school in these respects, but many of them have participated in one or more of the various sports that are carried on in our school. Some belong to the band and others to the chorus. On the more glamorous side, the sophomores chose Ruth Crussing as their football homecoming attendant. Sharon Andre was chosen to represent the class as the Sno Queen’s attendant. And now. as the sophomores look back on this year, they find it a little trying at times, but it has left them with some wonderful memories which will be treasured in their hearts forever. 37 A. E. Edstrom, Principal graduate work. A number are doing private research. A large number engage'in related practical work during the summer, proving that the theories they teach can he put to work to earn a living. All are active in local, state, and national professional organizations, many on special committees, and some serve as officers. Subject area organizations are liberally supported and professional reading— and writing — are at a high level. During the past two years the faculty has wprked on an evaluation of the school and its program preparatory to making application for membership in the North Central Association. Hours of study and after school and evening committee meetings paved the way for the visitation in January. We had critical visitors in all our classes for three days. Many of us were interviewed too. Through the grapevine we heard many nice things said about our school and faculty. A certificate in the office shows that the teachers association (HKA) has a gold seal charter from the Minnesota and National Kducation Associations. We understand that this is good evidence of professional spirit. Two years ago the HKA formed its No log-sitters—our faculty An old Greek philospher said that if be had a student sitting at one end of a bent log and he was on the other end, he had. a school and was in business. No log-sitters they, the Hopkins faculty nevertheless presents an imposing professional picture. Nor is it solely professional. Viewed individually, it presents a cross-section of community civic, social and spiritual life and service. Faculty members are found on the rolls of almost every church in the community and a number are serving on official governing boards and activity committees, choirs (two directors), Sunday School teaching staffs, organists. Civically the participation is equally active. Lions. Hotary and Optimists number teachers among their good members. President of the latter service group is a teacher. Teachers arc: PTA officers and committee members; active in political groups, League of Women Voters, Scout Troop committees and counselor groups; members of library boards, community Human Kelations committees, City Charter Commission. AAUW. executive secretary of the Hopkins Raspberry Festival is a faculty memlier. Another serves as Squadron Commander of the Civil Air Patrol. Active as they are in civic and church circles, it is professionally where they really shine — and this is properly so. Among the forty-odd teachers, twenty have masters degrees or beyond in preparation in subject-matter field. All have done or are doing LeRoy Holden, Assistant Principal own credit union and annually sponsors the American Kducation Week observance. Its sponsorship of an active FTA chapter also includes an annual scholarship for some senior going into the teaching field. Individually and as a group, we count them as friends. More than seldom they have proved their willingness to go the second mile with us. In the classroom, clubroom. field and court they have 38 measured up to what we might expect from Master Teachers. We count ourselves fortunate in the quality of our faculty. Above, Roger Peterson, Earl Breault and Shirley Russell gather around a teaching tool all three use in their social studies work.

Literature plays an important part each year and in every pupil's life, from the reading of their medieval novel in the ninth grade to the research that goes into the senior's Knglish research paper. All teachers encourage their students to do outside reading and all teach proper usage of our library. Writing that students learn, includes many things: grammar, correct spelling, punctuation and themes. These all help us to better express ourselves. Further practice can l c had in taking our journalism course. Speaking and listening are woven into each class day, but for those who need special confidence in themselves Hopkins offers speech and debate. Junior high Knglish provides the background in fundamentals that each pupil will need in the senior high school. SOCIAL STUDIES Realization that every student of today will lx tomorrow's citizen helps the social studies teachers plan their year's course to prepare each student for his important place in life. Ninth grade civics and the important study of the workings of our government are closely related to the senior high course in modern problems, which helps every senior to lx?tter understand economics. existing social problems and government. World history, taken by all tenth grades, starts out with the loginning of civilization and proceeds The counseling program in Hopkins is an important part of graduation preparation. School program? Job or college? Personal problem? They all find sympathetic ears here. Joan Trygstad seems happy for the simplicity of her problem. At least Mr. Soldahl seems to make it so. right down to our important international problems of today. K!e enth grade students, while taking American history, learn how the United States lias grown politically, economically and socially. Intermingled w ith the lessons are the great human stories of patriotism and love for one's country, that every student enjoys reading. So through textbooks, reports, lectures, movies and outside speakers, each student in grades ten through twelve grows a little more each year toward lx tter understanding of democracy and citizenship. Below, it's easier to understand Shakespeare and the plan of his plays when you see his theatre. Rudy Vraspir and Marvin Kuchera exhibit the model they made for senior English. 43 As easy as reading big print, says Mr. Krogfus in math class. Bewildered Bartels says, Sure thing. It offers a wide course variety BUSINESS AND AGRICULTURE Variety of business courses now available to students makes it easier for a pupil to secure a job right after high school or helps him decide what further business courses to take in college. Girls can now learn the fundamental steps in becoming an experienced and efficient secretary by-taking shorthand I and II and clerical office practice. Typing, consumer business education and bookkeeping are also offered to anyone interested in any of these fields. Primary aim of vocational agriculture is to train present and prospective farmers for proficiency in farming and there are four such courses offered. Also, senior students may take occupational relations, where the student secures a job and works for a year on the half-day basis. No better training could be given pupils who wish to go straight from high school into the business field. SPECIAL SERVICES Many times through the course of a school year a student may need special help and guidance. To meet these needs special services are available to students. Counselors help solve and give advice on the problems of our pupils, whether it be a problem concerning college, employment, or a personal one. Top right, Lyle Wandrei puts the finishing touches on his coffee table with an electric sender in wood shop. You can't see Mr. Olson, the instructor, but he's beaming from the right. Below, home and family living includes about everything to be done in the home. Even the homely job of making gravy comes in for its share of importance. Carol Auld and Mariann (Jens) Jensen find it fun to work with the modern facilities in the home ec kitchen. T he duty of the school health nurse is watching the health of the students, checking each pupil's eyes and seeing that everyone has an X-ray each year. Reading classes are also a special service helpful to students finding difficulty in reading. The knowledge that we have these special services creates a more secure, helpful and healthy student body and school atmosphere. Ronald Larson makes a point of interest for Nancy Lord and Carol Satterlund on the French bulletin board. This is a bit of relaxation from the fast-flying conversation usual in French class. 44 Members of the cooperative training program get plenty of practical work in class too. Here Robert Christensen is untangling an income tax problem for Tryg. With something SCIENCE AND MATH The great importance of science and math in today's world seems to be accepted and realized by our students. A large percentage of pupils sign up for one or more of the many courses offered in these fields in the junior and senior high school. Math courses begin with general mathematics re-quired of all seventh and eighth graders. Next comes algebra. This course is a study of formulas, the equation and the graph. This subject is needed for an advance study in mathematics. Geometry is offered in the senior high to any students wishing to take it. Those already having ninth grade algebra and with a C average or better for each student are eligible to take advanced algebra. Students wanting to round out courses in math or who arc planning on going into the engineering field will want to take a half-year of solid geometry and a half- ear of trigonometry. Students begin their science in the course required of all ninth graders but so many pupils today enjoy it. that biology, the study of all living things, has become a very popular course in senior high. Physics, scientific study of the physical happenings in the world, and chemistry, study of the composition of matter and changes which it undergoes, arc the two other elective science courses open to students in tin senior high. Our students realize that a well-balanced schedule can ordy he achieved by taking some subjects in the fields of science ami math. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Development of the body is equally important in our school as the development of the mind. This is accomplished in the physical education classes re-ouired of .students in grades seven through ten. In the eleventh and twelfth grades, gym can be taken as an elective course. A gym course is divided mainly into three units: health education, swimming and physical activities in the gym or on the playground. Some of the indoor sports include basketball, volley-hull. tumbling, and other team games which stress the importance of team co-operation and fair play. Top left, Kelly (of all the nicknames for a Scandinavian!) Throdahl is pointing out to Todd Emmings, the country of her forefathers. Maps are important teaching tools in world history and students early learn to associate geography with historical periods. Below, practical is the word for all ag classes. Here a class doing a soil-testing experiment with Mr. Firm-age looking on. Students from left to right are Carl Schreiber, Bill Smetana, Henry Scherer, Dick Sandberg, Don Loven, Dave Magnuson. 45 Above, Don Loven points with pride to his typing speed table. His classmate is not far behind. Competition works for good results here. ARTS AND LANGUAGES Homemaking is offered so that all girls can later take their places in life as future homemakers. Home economics can be taken by girls in grades seven through twelve. Industrial arts students this year had the opportunity to use some of the l csl equipment available. The woodworking, mechanical drawing, metals and architectural drawing classes combined on certain projects. This made it possible for more complex projects and gave the boys a chance to sec and understand all the steps in the manufacture of a complete product. Art department offers courses from those of a very general nature right on through to the more specialized ones which include advertising, advanced lettering, layout, fashion and illustration. Junior and senior high choral clubs and the Beginners, Junior and Senior bands add much to the music schedule offered. There is also a harmony course, and a new girls Glee Club open to anyone who likes to sing. With conditions as they are today there is a great demand for people who have a reading and speaking knowledge of some foreign language. For that reason Hopkins offers complete language courses in French I and II, Latin I and II. and Spanish I and II.

Seitz, Robertson, Peterson. Council is governing body The Student Council's main objective is to create and maintain a more democratic school life. The council knows the importance of unity and cooperation among the pupils and the faculty. Its members try to provide a means of adequate government and management of all school activities, whether they bo curricular or extra-curricular. This, however, is not all that our Student Council tries h accomplish. They also promote the general welfare of the senior high school, to bring about equality and justice for all pupils, and to provide a satisfactory means of carry ing on relations with other schools. The Council has been divided into several committees this year: the Social Affairs Committee, the Concessions Committee, the Ways and Means Committee. the Constitution Committee and the Executive Committee. Every member of the council is on one of these committees. The committcs are worthwhile because they save the Council a lot of time. This year's Council has accomplished a number of things. They have sponsored the Community Chest Drive and the March of Dimes. They have granted concessions and dances throughout the year. Revising the constitution of the Council to better apply to our new building was another of their tasks. Toward the middle of the year, they sponsored a club called the No-Acs Club, which is a club organized to try and prevent accidents. The council has been under the supervision of faculty member, Mr. Holcher.

Honor society is selective National Honor member Merry Ellen Peterson looks over the society emblem with adviser Miss Stenoien in the planning for induction of new members for 1955-56. The National Honor Society is the highest honor organization in school. Scholarship, leadership, character and service are the requirements for entrance into this organization. A member must stand scholastically in the upper one-fourth of his class, readily accept responsibility, hold high ideals, and demonstrate willingness to serve his school and to improve its civic life. Each spring the faculty chooses not more than fifteen per cent of the junior class and ten per cent of the senior class to take places in the Society. Before graduation there is an induction program for the new members. The ceremony is made very impressive by the lighting of large candles which stand for Scholarship. leadership. Character, and Service. Each of the officers then explain these four standards. The last part of the ceremony consists of the lighting of the small candles that each of the new members hold, loiter in the day, the old and new members are entertained at a luncheon given l the Hotary Club. The new members are presented pins at this time. The ten juniors that were chosen last year were Barbara Anderson. Demaris Dcmlcr, Marilyn Drax-ton. Carol Johnson, Mary Ann Kroc, Gordon Mork, Patty Novotny, Glen O’Brien. Merry Ellen Peterson and Connie Tarasar. Miss Stenoien is the adviser. 51 QUILL and SCROLL - ROW 1. left to right: Ide.

Athletes and writers honored Our school has long been proud of our two publications, the Hi-Cricr and the Warrior. And in recognition of the students who arc responsible for the excellence of our publications, the school elects them to the Quill and Scroll Society. The Quill and Scroll Society is an international honorary society. Its purpose is to give recognition to the students who have made significant contributions to either the yearbook or the newspaper. To qualify for membership in the Society, a student must be a junior or senior. Scholastically, he must be in the upper third of his class. He must have done superior work in writing, editing, or business management. To become a member of the Society, a student must be recommended for membership by his school principal or publications adviser. All memberships must be approved by the Executive Secretary of the Society. A key, signifying membership, is awarded to each member. One of the highest honors an athlete at Hopkins high school can receive is to he elected a member of the National Athletic Scholarship Society. The National Athletic Scholarship Society is a nation wide honorary society. Its purpose is to honor deserving high school athletes. To qualify for membership in the Society, a boy must win a varsity letter in a major or minor sport. He must be a junior or a senior, and his scholastic average for the preceding three semesters must lie equal to or higher than the school average. Society members are elected by the faculty in the spring. They are installed as members of the Society at the l eginning of the next school year the following fall. Members arc awarded cards and certificates to signify their membership. Also, as a token of achievement, the Hopkins Lions Club presents a pin to each member of the Society.

Cavaliers has grown from a group of 20 boys to its present size of 50. Advised by Mr. Soldahl, the Cavaliers provide a wealth of fun and activity for all senior high boys who wish to join. The only requirements for membership is attendance at monthly meetings and the selling of 15 football homecoming pins. At a special meeting new members are inducted and membership cards are passed out. New members pledge at this meeting to further fellowship sportsmanship, and clean living in Hopkins schools — the prime objective of the Cavaliers. Highlights of the year were joint meetings with the Cavalettes and Pep Club and movies of the Minnesota-Michigan football game shown by Phil Brain, University photographer. Featured in the first joint meeting with Cavalettes was Hal Mush and “The 61- cent Question with guest Herbert Crumleft. At the Washington Birthday meeting the Pep Club fed the Cavaliers cherry pie and ice cream. After everyone thoroughly stuffed themselves on pie and ice cream, they enjoyed the dance that followed. I ed by president Glen O’Brien, the Cavaliers sold refreshments at a basketball game, sold over nine hundred football homecoming pins, a new school record for the number of pins sold, and sold ballpoint pens to finance a $150 scholarship given jointly with the Cavalettes annually to some worthy senior. These sales also serve to defray the cost of the spring picnic. Cavalier member (and president) Dwight Hoffman and adviser Mr. Soldahl look over the ball point pens (Purple Warrior) the club sold to raise money for the annual scholarship. The Cavaliers initiated a new program of giving a ten dollar award this year for the best design and slogan submitted for use on the Homecoming pins. Through these and many other minor activities, the Cavaliers have gained the reputation of being one of the most active clubs in the Hopkins senior high.

Hopkins bus drivers are well prepared in many fields. Good sportsmanship and good game attendance are prerequisites for joining Pen Club. Thirty nominees with the highest points from these two prerequisites obtain membership into the club each year. The club consists of junior and senior girls. The goal of this group is to encourage and maintain good sportsmanship within our school and to boost school spirit. The Pep Club attempts to do this by promoting sports attendance, right conduct and fair judgement. Sponsoring money-making schemes such as a bake sale, selling pennants and concessions, making “Pom-pom shakers and pep posters, planning and presenting the football homecoming coronation and dance, and sponsoring a style show, have kept the members busy. Profits from money-making activities were used to buy the cheerleaders their sweaters, purchase “PC” letters for the new members and to present the school with a permanent coronation robe. One of the most remembered events of the year is the initiation of the new members. It lakes place in the spring of the year. The officers of the Pep Club for 1955-1956 are: president. Helen Atcas; secretary, Marlene Anderson and treasurer, Patty Novotny. Miss Schwartz-wald is the adviser. 56 HI CRIER STAFF — ROW 1: Schroedcr, McCreody, Grime . Berg- Mr .

Many planning sessions of the Board took place after school hours, resulting in the final decision on a theme and the general plan of the book. Meanwhile, the Business Board went to work on subscriptions and advertising sponsorships. Final writing assignments were given and the whole staff went into action. The final checking of pages, retaking of poor pictures, and catching oversights took two weeks. The book went to press in early April. Christian activities stimulated The purpose of the Youth Fellowship Club is to provide an opportunity for Christian young people to join in fellowship together. This year YFC has been under the supervision of Miss Stevenson and direction of president. Jerry Oas. The club was organized in 1950 by a group of students who were interested in stimulating an interest in Christian activities. The club has been undergoing many changes this year. Among them being the changing of their name from the Hi- Crusaders to YFC (Youth Fellowship Club). They have also moved from the school. The club will no longer be a school activity. However, the club will still be organized in the school even though no meetings will be held there. With Jerry Oas as president, the club has accomplished many things this year. Their regular meetings include discussions, speakers, quizzes, and singing. The Youth Fellowship Club has also had a musical program, a Billy Graham film program, and after game get-togethers. Their evening meetings have included films, games, and refreshments and lots of fun. Many people have mistaken the club as a closed club. However, it is not. The club is open to everyone both in membership and participation. There are approximately twenty-six denominations represented at every meeting. The only requirement of being a member of the Youth Fellowship Club is attendance. Above, Paul Peterson, senior, leads in morning devotions. Hl-C — ROW 1: Mallery.

Debaters are regional champs Debate has become an increasingly popular activity in Hopkins high this year. Under the direction of their coach, Mr. Caruson, thirty students in extra-curricular and curricular debate participated in ten tournaments. The tournaments were held throughout the state at West St. Paul, Duluth, St. Cloud, Macalester, Princeton, Mankato, Blake, Carleton, and Hopkins. Debates were also held for various civic groups in the community. The questioin this year, which gave the debaters a broader outlook on their futures in college, was. Resolved: that the federal government should guarantee a higher education to qualified high school graduates through grants to colleges and universities. Inter-squad debates and those held during class periods provided the debaters with plenty of strong competition and a chance to compete with each other for the “choice” tournaments. February 4, Hopkins played host to the Region 5 Debate Tournament. Through the efforts of Barbara Anderson, Nancy Horner, Bob North, and Gordon Mork, the Hopkins team placed first in the Regional contest over fourteen other schools. The debaters later participated in the State debate tournament. February 18 at Macalester college. There they placed seventh, by winning three, losing three, and tieing one. The debaters that will be back next year arc: Nancy Horner, Pete Schmit, Pete Buchanan, David Norrgard, Rick Wilhoit, Gale Heikkinen, Debbie Moilanen, Brent Palin, Penny Gebert, John Davies, Roy Johnson, Marion Davidson, Jean I azaretti, Judy McDonald, Darlene Sackrason, Carol Throdahl, John Connelly, and other new students. Next year the debate students will be debating “The Farm Problem. They are planning to attend and participate in fourteen major tournaments. There will be a major debate tournament held at Hopkins with Blake and Hopkins as hosts. Also next year the debaters are looking forward to having debate as a separate class.

One of the fund raising projects of this year’s Red Cross was to sponsor the basketball game between the faculty and the senior boys during the membership drive in the month of March. This game proved to be one of the funniest events of the year. The line-up for the “Pumpkins”(the faculty)was: Bouncing Breault, Sockum Stochl, Butsie Butts, Jumping John Tesar, Seedy Pcety Peterson, Highball Kimball, Rollie Olie Olson, Fouling Floyd Knutson and Ready Freddy Stalley. The “Beaver squad (the senior boys) was composed of Hob Besse, Nart Elson, Hight Dwoffman, Form Nilkins, Barry I-artels, Duck Chucharme, Lim Jund, Uim Jram, Rarty Mobertson, Laup Peterson and Horn Tamilton. “The “energetic” (??) cheerleaders of the faculty (Miss McCarthy, Miss Russell, Miss Schwartzwald, Red Cross drive is successful The purpose of the Junior Red Cross is to deal in services for others, tor the country, for the community, for the school and for tatter human relations throughout the world. This year’s president of the Red Cross chapter at Hopkins senior high was Carol Mashek. Marilyn Draxton was the secretary and Holly Drake performed the duties of treasurer. Joan Ncudeckcr was the club’s representative to student council. Miss Russell is the adviser. Every month four delegates were sent to the Hennepin County Red Cross Chapter house in Minneapolis, where students from all the schools in Hennepin county got together and discussed service projects and ways of raising money for these projects. Miss Kotval and Miss Stevenson) led some new cheers while Jerry Oas and Jerry Hall led the cheering with their antics for the senior boys’ team. Some of the proceeds raised from the basketball game and the membership drive will be used to provide help for victims of disaster right in our own county. Another portion of the money will be spent for materials for Red Cross projects and for doctor’s examinations and eye glasses for needy pupils in our Red Cross Chapter area schools. The remainder of the money will be contributed to the Red Cross Children’s Fund which supplies direct material aid to children at times and places of great emergency in the United States and abroad and pays shipping expenses of international service activities.

Band supplied fine musi Instrumental music, under the direction of John F. Tesar, took many steps forward during the past year. Basking in the beautiful new bandroom, the Hopkins musicians kept themselves plenty busy. The football season was first on the list with its marching maneuvers and pep tunes. Chorals for Thanksgiving and carols for Christmas followed in short order, and it was back to pep music again for the basketball season. All the while the band had been rehearsing for the Winter Concert, which was held in February. The band followed the basketball team to the district tournament at Williams Arena, and then turned in their old uniforms, for new ones were due in the spring. Soon the individual bandsmen (and girls tool were burning the midnight oil working on solos and small ensembles, hoping for those A s in the District and State Music Contests. The year climaxed with the Spring Concert given with the Choir, and the never to be forgotten band trip. All the while the Swing Band had been swinging, with varying degrees of accuracy and success. Appearances at various occasions around school, on WHHS, and KEYD-TV, were climaxed by the work with the Judge Wright Show where the band backed singers, dancers, chorus lines, and what have you.

A few of the special things that band members will remember are—The choosing and the fitting of the new uniforms; The music that was played, like the repetitious “In the Mood,” the rough spots in Procession of the Nobles, the jazzy movement of Kiddie Ballet, and the spectacular Oklahoma.

They discuss such things as diction and posture and how they contribute to good acting. To learn more about acting, they attend professional performances and go on other field trips. By acting out plays among themselves the members have a chance to apply what they have learned and to improve their acting skills. “They learn about different kinds of acting and discuss the different styles of drama and how they should be interpreted. Besides acting the members study other essential aspects of play production such as lighting, sound effects, properties, makeup, costumes, and direction. Tryouts for membership in the Club are held in the fall, and all students are eligible. The Club is advised by Mr. Caruson. Miss Ingvaidson, and Miss McCarthy.

These clubs are not only for social purposes but help the students acquire a better understanding of the language, the country, and the people that they are studying about. These clubs meet every two weeks, sometimes to plan social activities with each other. At Christmas time they had a masquerade party. In the spring a picnic was held at which plenty of food and fun was had by all. Every student in the class is automatically a member of the club. Their order of business includes the election of a president and the planning of social and educational activities. This year the language Club has performed on television twice. At Christmas time the Spanish club had a I’inata party. They also taped carols in Spanish. As April 14 is an important day for the Spanish, the cluh put on a Pan American day program for the student body. In learning about people in other countries, the members of tin language Club were able to mix business with pleasure by carrying on correspondence with European and Latin American students. 70 I After an hour-long siege of “Gallia est omnis divisa jn tres partes,” second-year Latin studenls agree that short meetings of the Latin Club, held in class, offer a refreshing change. The club is under the leadership of Mary Kay Chaml crlin, President, Bill North, Vice President, Karen Whitney, Secretary, and Daneen Anderson, Treasurer. Its chief purpose is to study Roman history and customs and this it manages to combine with pleasure. This particular facet of the club can be noted in the plans for a Roman banquet to be held in the Latin club officers shoeing pro ect plans to adviser, Mr. Kimball.

The grand emperor, George Kimball, Latin club adviser, will taste all food before it is served. Stage-fright took over for many members of the club before their performance in a I atin play “Bulla”, presented on the 9-Teens television program January 30. The play went oil, however, in good stead. Against a hack-drop of an old Roman temple, the play depicted the good fortune a bulla, an ornament worn on the neck by Homan children. brought to e ia, a small Roman girl.

Not in a Roman theme, however, was the club's Christmas party, held at one of the atin c uh member's homes.

Business students get training The Vocational Training program is a club which trains high school students to get along in the business world. The students in this club go to school for half a day and are then dismissed to go to their jobs for the rest of the day. Elizabeth Strachota and Dick Ulrich behind the counter where sales demonstrations are given before the class. Their subjects include: English, modern problems, occupational relations, and one elective subject. They receive one credit during the school year for being in the Vocational Training program. Only seniors are eligible for membership in this club, however. Many of the members work in different offices and stores in Hopkins: such as the Minneapolis-Moline, the banks, and clothing stores. Some do filing and clerking, while others may work on advertising. They receive the full starting pay, and are usually given two or three raises during the time they are working. '('here are many opportunities for advancement in this club. For instance, one girl in the Vocational Club is a file clerk in Accounts Receivable for the Minneapolis-Moline. Upon graduation the position of bookkeeping awaits her. The places of business work out a “Code of Experience.” This is a plan of training, a student goes through during the year. However, the cluh is not, “all work and no play.” Their main project this year, was to raise funds for the Employer-Employee Banquet, which they sponsored at the Katherine Curren school on February 2B. They are now looking forward to the annual Vocational Training program convention which will Ik held on April 11 and 12 at the Lowry hotel in St. Paul. The officers of the Hopkins chapte this year are as follows: Jim Walton, President; Ken Dumas, Vice-President; and Jeanene Stodolka, Secretary and Treasurer. Jeanene was also elected as Treasurer of the State Club. Mary Bengston is Club correspondent. 74 Many prospective teachers here With Connie Tarasar presiding, the Future Teachers of America met every other Monday evening to learn more about their chosen vocation, teaching. This club is open to all students who wish to investigate the possibility of teaching as a profession and prepare for it. Various speakers attended some of the meetings and talked on subjects such as “College Courses for an Elementary Teacher.” Various schools and colleges were visited, such as an all-day field trip to Gustavus Adolphus College, and many opportunities were also provided for teaching. Most of the junior and senior members had several opportunities to practice teach in the Junior High and elementary schools in the Hopkins school district.

FFA boys do projects, take trips The Future Farmers of America at Hopkins is made up of boys who are interested in agriculture as a vocation and are also vocational agriculture students in high school. Future Farmers of America is a nationally organized club and is open to all schools where agriculture departments meet the standards. The purpose of the Future Farmers of America is to further agriculture in the communities. It helps agriculture by putting it in front of the public and making them conscious of the agricultural problems. Its chief purpose however, is to train young men to be well-equipped modern farmers, using the latest methods and techniques, and also to be the leaders of rural life in the next generation. The Hopkins chapter is just getting started, but under the leadership of its adviser, Mr. Firmage, the organization can be looked upon as an up and coming club. The club’s officers are: Dean Holasek, President; Chuck Beckman, Vice-President; Lon Leinonen, Secretary; and Dave Burt, Treasurer. Every boy must have a project and also take an active part in meetings and activities. Chapter projects were organized, and outings to packing houses, farms, and experimental stations completed the many activities.

Although it was set up for the purpose of guiding the student body to their classes the first week of school, Student Guides were still on the job through the rest of the year, guiding new students, visitors, and special organizations through the school. The Student Guides system was under supervision of Mr. Holcher. LIBRARY ASSISTANTS As Miss Bowing, the Club’s adviser says, the library assistants are very necessary in operating efficiently the new, beautiful, and large library which we now enjoy. The Club enables the assistants to learn the mechanics of running a library and they all are re- quired to obtain additional material for the pamphlet files. They are invaluable in getting the many new books ready for circulation, and in helping classmates find information. Marcia Nelson, senior coop training student, spends afternoons working in the library. 78 Activity clubs prove popular Top left.

Many fellows will long remember the bumps and sore muscles of the first three weeks of practice. The hot weather seemed to slowly drain the strength and the coaches constantly kept everyone on the go. To prepare for the first game, the Warriers held several scrimmages. The Warriors squared off in practice against Columbia Heights, Blake, Roosevelt, Washburn, and Southwest. The Warriors first opponent of the season was Hastings. Hastings, which had most of the previous year’s team hack, prevented Hopkins from getting started. Once the Warriors started to roll, they piled up a 27-0 victory. Hopkins faced Robbinsdale in its first Conference game. The Robbins had fine players at all positions and were a strong team. Hopkins played a standout game on defense and outplayed the Robbins but lost a close 7-6 contest. The next game, against the Skippers of Minnetonka, started out with Hopkins completely dominating the first half. The Warriors led 12-0 at this point. But the Skippers rallied and were leading 13-12 in the final minutes of the quarter when the Warriers intercepted a pass. Hopkins went on a sustained drive that was capped by Mike Mueller’s winning touchdown in the last 20 seconds. Against the Edina Hornets, who proved to be conference champs, the Warriors played a keyed up game but were out-manned and lost a 20-7 ball game. Coach Knutson believes that with a few breaks. Edina could have been beaten. Hopkins’ lone score came on a 70 yard intercepted pass by Charles DuCharme. 1955 SEASON HASTINGS 0 H—27 ROBBINSDALE 7 H- 6 MINNETONKA 13 H—18 EDINA 20 H- 7 ST.

Wayzata, the next opponent, had a good hall club but was no match for the Warriors. Hopkins played a good game and won 13-6. Hopkins played one of its best games against Mound. Jerry Lewis ran wild, gaining big yardage. The Warriors easily won the game 27-0. The last game, homecoming, was played against Rich field. The first half seesawed back and forth and ended in a 0-0 deadlock. During the second half, the Warriors must have had other things on their minds as Richfield won 27-0. After the season ended, several individuals were honored by being placed on the All-Conference squad. Jim Lund was named offensive All-Conference center. On the defensive unit, Jerry Lewis and Jerry Oas were named as line backers. Even though the entire squad was inexperienced with no returning starters, the Warriors made an excellent showing for themselves. The strong Hopkins squad finished third in a powerful and well balanced Lake Conference. Below, Worrior back starts a dash for paydirt.

Add to that the fact that one of the other two games was a tie and you have the complete picture. Only 27 points were scored against Hopkins in the eight games.

Hopkins cagers take Conference “I,akc Conference Basketball Champions!” That statement was just a dream last Novemlter, but lie-came a reality when the conference season ended late in February, and found the Warriors holding down first place all alone. This year made 18 chain pionships in the 28 years of I ake Conference action. Few people even dreamed that Hopkins would be a contender, because of no height, and very little experience. Smart coaching paid off. One returning regular, Dave Dragotis, two reserves, Jim Shyman and Mike Mueller, one B-team player, Jerry Lewis, and Steve Hamilton with no experience, combined their talents to win 18 out of 19 games before reaching the District finals in as surprising a season as Hopkins has ever had. Jimmy, Jerry and Dave won positions on the All-District tournament team. It was a case of the Basketball Wizard. Coach Maetzold. pulling another rabbit from his action-filled Stetson. Hopkins 80 — West 45 Shyman and Dragotis led the scoring, but it looked like a poor season ahead. Kucera sprained an ankle. Hopkins 52 — Mound 49 A last minute rally led by Shyman and Dragotis won from a veteran Mound team, in a thriller decided in the final moments. Hopkins 56 — Minnetonka 45 Tied at half-time, Shyman. aided by Lewis, rallied the team. Hamilton saw his first extended service and Kucera was able to play again after being out with his injury. Hopkins 48 — Wayzata 42 Defense again aided our Warriors. Shyman and Lewis were again the only consistent scorers, although Hamilton scored his first field goals of the season. Better team play in spots showed up in this game. Hopkins 57 — St. Louis Pork 69 I .ate in the first half. Park scored in bunches and aided by I t free-throws in the second quarter, ran up a good half-time lead. The W'arriors deserve a lot of credit for outscoring Park in the third and fourth quarters, narrowing the gap. Shyman (23), and Dragotis (19), led the scoring and the boys played a good team game the second half. Hopkins 46 — Edina 43 Kxcellent team defense in the first half gave Hopkins a 23-12 lead. Lew is hit a new high in this game for all-around play, as the entire team showed vast improvement as a unit. Hopkins 64 — Richfield 50 Mueller and Hamilton paced the Warrior play as these two guards scored 25 points. It was Hopkins’ first game at Richfield, and the team found another worthy opponent in the Trojans. Hopkins 71 — Robbinsdole 39 Hopkins played its best game so far and jumped into a 16-4 first quarter lead. Mike did an excellent job in holding down Gorman. Jimmy had the biggest night J his career as he ran wild for 36 points and Louie kept on improving. Hopkins 51 — Mound 50 This game was tighter than the first round. Hopkins led at every quarter but could not pull away to a comfortable lead, keeping hearts in throats to the final second. 88 Hopkins 58 — Minnetonka 42 Behind at the end of the first quarter, Shyman and Lewis sparked the Warriors from then on. Hamilton rebounded very well. Hopkins 58 — Wayzata 51 Behind again at the end of the first quarter, the Warriors spurted in the second and third periods to build up a safe lead, with Shyman the pace-setter. Hopkins 74 — St. Louis Park 52 This return game, televised and sold out weeks before, found Hopkins prepared and they came through with a magnificent team-game. Mueller, in addition to scoring well, was great on defense and Hamilton and Dragotis amazed with their rebounding. Scoring was essential, and Lewis (23) and Shyman (22) led in this department. Louie made 15 out of 15 free-throw attempts as the Warriors led 30-19 at half time. Hopkins 45 — Edina 43 Hopkins had to struggle to eke out this one. Following the Park game came the inevitable let-down .that almost spelled defeat. Hopkins 85 — Richfield 59 Shyman was unstoppable and scored '10 points for a new record. Ten Warriors dented the scoring column. Jimmy scored 26 in the first half. Hopkins 60 — Robbinsdale 59 Poor free-throwing had Hopkins in hot water and their 44-34 three-quarter edge, barely carried them through: but with the win came their sixth straight Conference championship, a testimony to hard work and good coaching. Sub-District Tourney Hopkins 70 — Richfield 45 A strong defense held Richfield to four field goals in the first half. Shyman scored 26 points as the Warriors qualified for the District. District Tourney Hopkins 65 — Eden Prairie 53 Lewis (23) and Dragotis (14) paced the Warriors. Hopkins had trouble with their opponent's height, but finally eliminated their Valley Conference neighbor. Hopkins 50 —Mound 45 Mueller (16) provided the scoring punch in a hard-fought game, typical of the struggles between the two schools this year. Hopkins 56 — St. Louis Park 62 This was nip and tuck all the way. 22-23 at the half. 34-36 at three-quarters. 56-52 with 28 seconds left. Dragotis fouled out in the third quarter and Mueller and Lewis in the fourth quarter. Hamilton turned in his l� est rebounding and 7 for 8 frec-throws. Lewis 119) and Shyman (15) led the scoring.

New sport is on the up-grade The Warrior hockey team, although it had a losing season, played some good hockey at times. The squad was hampered by lack of experience and ice. The new hoards behind the school didn't arrive until after the first of the year. Having tough sledding at first the pucksters won their first game of the season downing Bloomington in a non-conference tilt 3-0, and winning their first conference game two days later against Richfield 3-1. Spurred by these two victories, the hoys almost sprung a big upset ticing the Trojans of Wayzata 2-2. The Warriors then hit a snag losing to the eventual regional winners, Mina, 8-1. They ended the season losing to Minnetonka 3-2. Letters were awarded to four seniors, Bill Boos, Dave Oas, Dwight Yerxa. and Boh Keifer. The eight juniors who received letters were Budy Anderla, Boh La Hue, Mike Badcaux, Howie Olson, Larry Nelson, Tom Greenwood. Ed Forpohl. and Ricky Wilhoit. These eight returning letter winners make prospects look much brighter for next year. The pucksters ended the season with a conference record of ten losses, one win, and one tie.

Showing exceptional strength in the sprints and sprint relay team with good support from the rest of the squad, the Warriors climaxed their successful season as the Number 2 track team in the state. Hopkins won its first (major) victory at the opening of the season by winning the Mankato Relays. During the season the Warriors went uniieaten in a series of dual meets with other I ake Conference schools. The next big victory for Hopkins came at the Faribault Invitational. There the Warrior sprint relay swept the 440 and 880 yard events to assure first place for Hopkins. Rohhinsdale, always a good track school, outmanned the Warrior at the Mound Relays. However. Hopkins won the District 18 title and qualified enough boys to cop the Region 5 track crown. Hopkins second place showing in the state meet was due to the efforts of: Tom Brown, second in the 100 yard dash and third in the 220; Chuck Du Charme second in the 440; Burt Fristedt, second in the discus: and third place for the 880 yard relay team composed of Lewis, Mueller, Onstad and Brown. Besides the second place showing in the state meet, several individual records were set by Hopkins boys. The 880 relay team composed of Brown, Mueller. Lewis and Onstad set a school record of 1:34. Chuck Du Charme set the 440 record in the Conference and Region meets, plus a school record of 51:7. Bert Friestedt tossed the discus 155 feet for another school record.

The winning streak was topped off when the tankers revenged their earlier defeat to Stillwater by trouncing them 47-21. Hopkins took all hut two first places in the meet. Improving steadily through the season, the Tankers' winning streak was broken by Blake Academy in a 44-24 contest.

A moment later, the pyramid crumbles and it's done all over again. Many activities in phy ed program The physical education program with the coming of the new school, new equipment and facilities is in the process of chafiging from a traditional program of touch football, basketball, track and softball to a broad program that fits the needs and abilities of everyone. It is the aim of the physical education department to meet the needs of the individual, help keep the students physically fit, and give them some carryover value that they will be able to use after graduation. Below, two boys in the same weight class demonstrate holds in wrestling, a coming sport. Top right, a girls' phy ed class in the pool under the watchful eyes of instructors Johnson and Stevenson.

This one will feed 500 students at a time. It is light, airy and pleasant. Numerous banquets and dinners are held here, as are also school dances and parties. SCHOOL LIFE School life is important... Students are pretty much the same the country over. It follows that the informal side of school life will be much the same in most schools. We had our highlights: registration in the fall, football homecoming, Thanksgiving program, Christmas preparation, mid-semesters, basketball excitement, winter sports days, colorful tournaments, Easter vacation, cramming for finals. Our camera covered them all. We also had our dances and parties, locker room bull sessions, locker chats between classes, trips to other schools. We recorded fads and fashions, unusual and routine events. Through it all we tried to catch and record the spirit that is typically Hopkins. First chore every morning. Here Melvin Overdick is first in line to buy a lunch chip. About a third of the student body bring bag lunches. All eat in two shifts beginning at 11 a.m. Movies, dances, locker gossip fill out the period. What goes on here? Why, it's siesta time in the study hall. (Photog's note: It was taken during lunch hour, so everything's all right) DeDe Dernier takes time out to smile at the photographer—Barb Johnson is too intent on her work.

It thrives on custom, tradition Mr. Breault, Knight of the Hickory Stick, comes down the hall to meet his first class. Steve Chamberlin hides behind his friend Robert Knutson, as the bulb goes off. A noisy event of the winter in our building was the immunization clinic. Dr. Kucera, long a member of the school board, is about to shoot a protesting patient. Alumni were very much in evidence at the homecoming tea given last fall in the lunchroom. How many do you recognize? Jean Thule and Janice Hollencamp seem pleased over something at the latter's locker. Could it be a favorite class coming up? Or is it the end of the day? 105 It included such events as H Reigning over this year’s football homecoming was Queen Catherine Miller. Helping Cathy rule were her four attendants: Karen Gronli and Daneen Anderson, seniors; Jeanne Berge, junior; and Ruth Grussing. spohomore. The homecoming activities began with a huge bonfire which was sponsored by the Cavaliers and held in hack of the Junior high. Probably the most exciting part of all the homecoming festivities was the coronation, which was planned and decorated by the Pep club. This year’s coronation was based on the television program “This is your life,” and was emceed by Bob North. Who could forget Norm Filkin’s Chinese version of “Yes Sir, That’s My Baby” or the clowning of Jay Jensen and Jerry Hall? Something new was added to the coronation this year. A throne representing a football was made by members of Mr. Olson’s industrial arts classes. Following the coronation there was a parade down Main street in Hopkins, led by the band. The three classes and the Cavalettes and the Cavaliers entered floats in the parade. The junior class captured the prize with their “Rock Richfield” float. The seniors held an open house from 4-6 in the Senior high cafeteria for all the alumni and members of this year’s senior class. The band presented a halftime show during the football game between Hopkins and Richfield while Cathy, her attendants and the floats were driven around the field. After the game all the students and alumni danced to the music of Johnny Renalds and his band. At the top, senior class president Jim Lund escorts homecoming queen Cathy Miller back down the aisle following the impressive and exciting coronation ceremony in the gymnasium. Cathy wears the traditional crown and ermine robe and carries roses and proclamation scroll. She was presented to the crowd between halves at the game in the evening and reigned over the traditional homecoming dance. At the left are the senior attendants Karen Gronli and Daneen Anderson as they rode in the procession between halves. 10 “Sno Daze was the theme of the Winter Sports Days celebration held January 19-21. The events of this festivity began Thursday, in the afternoon when Hopkins played Park in a hockey game at Park. Winter Sports Day buttons were the admission to the swimming meet that evening between Hopkins students and experts from the Y.M.C.A. After the exhibition the student council was host to an hour of dancing and refreshments in the lunchroom. Suspense filled the air as the afternoon of the coronation rolled around. One of the three senior candidates, Doris Blager, Damais Dernier or Kaija Komsi, would be selected as queen. Junior attendant Marlene Anderson, and Sharon Andre, sophomore attendant had already been chosen. When Jim Shy man, who was selected to reign as king by the senior class, unrolled the scroll he found the queen to be lovely Kaija Komsi, our exchange student from Finland. Jerry Oas emceed the coronation for which decorations had been made by the senior class. That night Hopkins faced Robbinsdale on the basketball court. During the halftime, the “Sno Daze” king, queen and court were presented. Saturday night the hockey squad met Richfield at the Minneapolis Arena and later that night the trimmings were placed on the Winter Sports Days celebration by the formal dance sponsored by the sophomore class with music supplied by Rod Aaberg and his band. Bill Boos, hockey co-captain, fastens Kaija's robe after her coronation as King Jim Shyman looks on approvingly. Below, Jerry Hall and Jay Jensen high jinks as Snow Days attendants look on.

It has its large, its small, its smile, its clown, its eyes, it- hair, its l� cst looking, most athletic, most likely to succeed, best dressed and so on.

They would stay in one classroom and the teachers would move around during the day. They might even go home during vacant hours. Here they take five or six subjects—at home up to 12 or 13, but most for only two or three times a week. We have enjoyed having Kay and Jon this year—it has been an interesting experience.
