Moans and Groans Prove Activities Are No t1311ch Matmen and Mermaids Interdepartment cooperation at Jordan has been exemplified by the union of some classes in the two gym departments. Boys and girls learn the first step in rules and techniques of game play. On balmy fall days and bright spring days the field was the play- ground. When the weather grew colder, the boys began team work indoors. Volleyball, basketball, and regular exercises took the spot- light, and champs were the result of competitive rivalry. Health and swimming two days a week was rounded out by a full program of badminton, deck tennis, apparatus work, and ball games where everyone had loads of fun. Messrs. Paasch and Rodeghier, advisers. Moans and groans proved that activities in the girlst department were no hcinch but had their rewards. Sincere preparation preceded routine exercises, kickball, deck tennis, badminton, volleyball, basketball, swimming, and Red Cross certification. These exercises were helpful in coordination and body building. Outside school athletics resulted in championship honors. Basketball play-day at the University of Minnesota, the swimming meet at Bryant Junior High, and dances rounded out the year,s program. Mrs. Katsung and Miss Robin, advisers. Plenty to Do Team Work Has Its Rewards

Whols this? Conversationalists, Bonnie Banks and George Hayes reminiscing? Can that be Darlene Vaughn and Mike Rostamo in the center of that rhythm clapping crowd? Look! Still the best dressed, Virginia Mumm and Iohn Carlson are just entering. They do have that llspecial look,l about them. Congratulations are being showered on Darlene Day and Don Lundstrom who are todayls athletic champs. Above the cheering, Karen Bachman and Curt Lang,s voices distinctly rise over all the rest. Just as peppy as ever. Nostalgically gathering to sing old familiar school songs are Karen Szymanski and David Lindgren. They always did enjoy vocalizing. Hush! Joanne Sturman and Tom Oltman are about to play a new instrumental piece lately arranged by Joanne. Theres Colleen Smith with Bud Schaitberger graciously welcoming former friends. Being helpful just seems to be natural for them. Can we be having a floor show? Susan Nelson and Bernie Kehr are approaching the stage. Time has not changed their figures and physiques. Remember June 12,1958? Surely it wouldn t have been so grand had it not been for our poised Nancy Johnson and George McMurry. Even though most of us were solemn and slightly weepy that day, Elizabeth Hebzynski and Brad St. Mane smiled, ear to ear, all through the procession. Yes, we had fun the year we were ninth graders at Jordan.

Books, Fines, Fun Over and above fines for over-due books, it has been our good fortune to have a library in our own school. Without this source of information many llA,sl, may have been llB,s,,, or ?,1 even Cs . An auditorium kicked OH the Iordanian drive. Then came the llchorel, of taking subscriptions and collecting money. The popularity poll meant tabulating hundreds of names. Looking into the future took time. Picture days found almost everyone in his best and smiling for the camera. In a final rush, the book was proofread and sent off to the printer. June 5 saw a keyed-up staff pouring over the Eu- ished book. Munching cake and ice cream and amid shouts and laughter at the staff party, the books were finally counted out for delivery, June 6. Now the book is yours. We hope you like it. YE SCRIBES THE STAFF OF 1958 Seated: J. Tollefson, M. Driste, N. Johnson, 5. Stanchfleld, recording secretary; K. Szymanski, J. Sturman, editor; G.
