Our class officers were president, Leroy Maki: vice president, Nancy Barney: secretary, Jean Sunnarborg, treasurer, Richard Richardson. Thirty-one students returned to their sophomore year at Esko High School with Anita Mat- tinen joining us from Minneapolis, Heading our class this year were president, Iames Juntuneng vice president, Don Pykkoneng secretary, Diane Himangog treasurer, Donald Wigingtong and our faithful advisors Miss Jane Wilsey and Mr. Leslie Knuti. It was during our sophomore year that we sponsored a very successful Sok-Hop for the senior high school, We were all eager to begin the series of events that made up our junior year. The top most being the prom-banquet and the junior class play. We found them both to be as enjoyable as we had anticipated, The Phantom Bells a mystery, directed by Miss Marjorie Steil, was pre- sented in the fall of 1951. Together with our advisors Miss Vivian Georgeson, and Mr. Larry Langen, we put on the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom, a project requiring a lot of work but un- animously agreed worth while. Don Pykkonen held the distinguished office of president of the class. Other officers include Nancy Barney, vice-presidentg Jean Sunnarborg, secretary: and Bette Sunnarborg, treasurer. All this and much more concluded a very enjoyable junior year. September 2, 1952 marked the beginning of the last year of our fast closing high school careers. The long awaited time to be Dignified Seniors had finally arrived. Miss Steil and our principal Mr, Duane Converse were elected advisors of the Senior Class., James Hannerlund was elected president ofour class, Those serving under him were, Dale Luokkala, vice-presidentg Yvonne Hennum, secretaryg and Anita Mattinen, treasurer. They greatly helped in making our senior year a very memorable one. Miss Steil did a wonderful job in directing our play No Boys Allowed a three act comedy, This play terminated our acting days. Our only regret as this annual goes to press is that all our yearly events cannot be included in our book, namely the Prom-Banquet, Excursions, Baccalaureate Services, and the most important of all our high school events - The Commencement Exercises, 15 ,fs JUNIOR CLASS FIRST ROW: Viola Johnson, Elaine Mattson, Joan VanValkenburg, Robert Gordon, Donald Johnson, Nancy Hen- num, Sylvia Moilanen, Alice Gallea.

Most of our junior year will be spent raising funds for the junior-senior banquet, with our junior class play being the most important project for raising these funds. As this annual goes to press we, of the junior class, with the help of our ad- visors, Miss Georgesen and Mr. Clarence Johnson, shall be making preparations for the junior-senior banquet and prom which will be held in the spring. 16 SOPHOMORES as ig, 'KKK FIRST ROW: Sharon Ann Bergeman, June Johnson, Joyce Kalli, Richard Smith, Roger Bottila, Donald Rontri, Darwin Bottila,Donald Rowe, SECOND ROW: Raymond Lawson, Alma Granholm, Carol Martin, Edna Pyk- konen, Shirley Mattson, Elvie Kinnunen, Otto Oja, Warner Johnson.

The 1952 Wildlife Identification team fNorman Barney, James Manisto, Ernest Bylkasj placed third in the district contest and in the Red Ribbon Group at St. Paul. The crops team, consisting of James Jun- tunen, James Hammarlund, and Richard Tan placed fourth in the contest at Grand Rapids, Many of the chapter members took part in the 1952 Community Fair by helping with the work and by exhibiting their products, Special credit was given to the cattle exhibitors namely Robert Johnson, Robert Rowe, and Donald Rowe. During the 1952-53 school h year t e club met in groups as part of their class work, Each class had its own set of officers and held separate meetings The cha t ff , p er o icers met regularly to coordinate the work of the classes. In addition to the class meetings the whole club met several evenings during the year and had a recreational period after the regular business meeting, Our officers attended the Leadership Rally at the Arrowhead Lake on September 23rd and the Bean Feed that evening, On September 24, eight greenhands and nine chapter farmers received their degrees during an im- pressive ceremony, Many parents attended this rite conducted by the chapter officers, The sophomore agricultural class sponsored the hot dog sales at the fall football games. Another fall activity was the outdoor br kf ea ast on October 7 when several members braved the chilly weather to eat out doors, Many other activities will take place before the school year is out, Members will have taken part in a radio-program, district judging contests, and the State Convention, These events will have to be included in the next Lincoln log. 32 Harold Berg arllrnatllllld- Gelaxd An 8 ll Guam SPOTHGH T STAFF SEATED I Ia . meS!l1ntunen, Nancy Bar I .

GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Girls' Athletic Association began the 1952 - 53 school year with the initiation of twelve sophomore girls. Altogether there are forty-two members in the G.A.A. Activity nights have been Monday nights from seven to nine. We started off the year playing volley ball. Teams were formed for tournaments with the top team getting ten extra points. The Huskies with Bette Sunnarborg captain, Fighting Finns with Nancy Barney captain, and Junior Jabber Jaws with Pat Van Wave captain, tied for first place, with the Activate and Scarps fcaptains Carol Juntti and Elvie Kinnunen res- pectivelyj close behind them. At Christmas we had a party, which was very much enjoyed. The girls went caroling and exchanged gifts. Onlanuary 10tha Play Day was held, which lasted from nine a.m. to four p.m. Skating started off the day and volley ball, basketball, and dancing were some of the main events. All through the colder months, the girls skated on the school skating rink. Sometimes they spent their activity nights skating, and many extra points were earned this way. Basketball has been one of the G.A.A.'s most ex- citing activities. While the boys were playing in the basketball tournaments in Duluth, the girls were having their own tournaments during activity night. There were never any spectators, but the enthusiasm and noise could be compared to the boys' games. The Maybeys, with Elaine Mattson and Pat Van Wave as co-captains walked off with honors and the extra points. The So- mokse fEskomos backwardsj, Nancy Barney captain, and the Tippy-Ten fAll sophomoresj, June Johnson captain, bottled it up for second place. The only thing the girls complained about was, Where did they get those referees? Bowling trips have also been among the activities of the G.A.A. The girls are taken to Cloquet by bus to bowl. The high scores for the first trip were Mavis Mattson 124 and Carol Juntti 123. This year the officers of the G.A.A. were Nancy Barney, president, Phyllis Bergstedt, vice-president, Carol Juntti,secretary, Diane Himango, treasurer, Ma- vis Mattson, Spotlight and annual reporter, Jean Sunnar- borg, historian, Nancy Gustafson, senior recorder, Pat Van Wave, junior recorder, and Kay Juntunen, sopho- more recorder. We have had a very enjoyable year in G.A.A. and wish to thank our advisor Mrs. Mianowski, for making this possible.
