I’m on my way to lead the Parade of Hits through Vocational's Tradewind. Well view the highlights and high jinks of the past year. Yours for happy reading, OPS V, f St AFTER HOURSjgr' TSJPi CLUBS Vocational Serves the Community Minneapolis Vocational High School and Technical Institute is one of the largest and most complete of all the community service organizations in the Northwest. It provides a source of learning for anyone desiring to extend his knowledge, obtain a high school education, or become a skilled craftsman in a specialized field. Because of these opportunities, the people who take advantage of them are prepared to benefit the community. Vocational serves its community in innumerable ways. Aside from offering a general high school educational course, it meets the needs of Minneapolis and adjoining territory by remaining in operation fourteen hours at a time for day and evening classes. Special technical programs, not offered in any other secondary school, may be taken at Vocational. About 1500 day and 3500 evening students work harmoniously with I 16 qualified teachers. A Veteran's Rehabilitation Program, sponsored by the G.l. Bill, has met with great success here at Vocational. A rapidly growing Tech-high program is under way which allows regular high school students to come to Vocational for part of the day to learn a trade of their choice. A post-graduate course is also offered: Any high school graduate under twenty years of age may attend for one year, tuition free. The school itself accommodates the public in many ways. All shops, including a tearoom, barber and beauty shops, shoe shop, and retail store, are open to benefit the community. Services are offered by various departments to repair such ob- jccts as radio:-, toasters, watches, autos, footwear and other necessary articles. Vocational furnishes the city's citizens with rooms for public meetings. It also is a voting center for two precincts. Because of part-time work and co-op schedules, employers are enabled to look over end select desired personnel for full time employment upon graduation. These people welcome Vocational graduates because they are willing to work, are trained, and prepared to contribute their skills and knowledge to answer the needs of the community. Students and graduates from numerous trades answer community needs as cooks in hotels, technical craftsmen in defense plants, mechanics for airlines and super stations, clerks in stores, assistant nurses in hospitals, office workers, secretaries, commercial artists, and in many other capacities. Students entering the armed forces are better able to benefit their country because of their specialized training for definite technical |obs. Vocational's services are felt and used in many places. The printing department produces all of the printed matter, such as report cards, passes, forms, and commencement programs, that is issued through the school board. A widely distributed catalogue is busy advertising Vocational throughout the Upper Midwest and has gone to such places as Cuba and Chile. The school paper, The Craftsman, has submitted both information and photographic art to large newspapers such as the Minneapolis Star. Our year book, The Tradewind, is sent overseas to be studied and enjoyed by peoples of many countries. The community we serve, an ever widening territory, may look to the Vocational High School and Technical Institute for students who with educated minds, skilled hands, and good citizenship, can meet its needs. Rue'. Parade of Seniors Shirley Sutherland, Clair Nelson, George Lucas, Charlotte Batdorf. Dear Readers, We have the honor of introducing to you the officers of the senior class of 1952. These students were elected by the graduating class to conduct their meetings and plan the senior activities for the year. George Lucas, the class president, steps into the spotlight first. He has done a fine job of conducting the senior meetings. Vice-president. Clair Nelson, has always been present at the meetings and ready to take over when needed. Our very capable secretary, Shirley Sutherland, has been kept busy writing reports at senior and committee meetings. Charlotte Batdorf, no doubt, has had the most difficult job: getting seniors to part with their money in order to pay dues. As this important year of 1952 comes to an end, we wish to thank our fine staff of officers for doing a grand job for our senior class. Yours truly, Frances cm Copacabana Club 1364 Whitney Boulevard Hollywood Hills Los Angeles. California July 18. I960 Dear Bettilou. It was fun to get your letter chuck full of news about our old senior class of '52 at Vocational. So you own your own beauty shop in New York! It must really be a beautiful place if Barbara Mason, leading interior decorator of today, did the job. What a wonderful corps of girls you have working for you with Evelyn Nelson as receptionist and Bonnie Lynch, the world-famous hair-stylist. You say that Kelly Merritt and Leora Thompson are working for Gooney Tunes Picture Studios. I hear they are making that new comedy. How Many Flat Tires on a Vacation? Sort of fits them, don't you think? You must have felt honored when the Great All-American Star, John Schable came into your shop to get a manicure. And was I surprised to hear that Adelpho Williams is being considered for the presidency of Columbia University! I've news for you, too. In my Copacabana Club, here in Los Angeles. I have a chance to meet thousands of people and among them are old Voca-tionalites. Don Nybo stopped in for a visit on his way from a photo studio where he had a passport picture taken. He is planning on going to Europe where he will visit George Lucas, the U. S. ambassador to Transylvania. Don said that Nels Christenson, the class clown, owned the studio. Donna Lane was there, posing for pictures which she is to submit to Metro-Goldwyn Studios. We are holding a special banquet this weekend for Mr. and Mrs. America, our King and Queen of 1952, Dick Herald and Pat Simso. One of our special acts for that night is The Vagabonds . America's most talked about quartet: Roosevelt McDuffie. Phil Johnson, Russ Scott, and John Napue. I've hired three extra entertainers for that occasion: Pat Cota. Harpist. Delores Cauton. the puppeteer, and the new western singing sensation. Owen Spah. For the ban- quet John Huyck, Larry Lorenson, and Norm Olson, my cooks, have prepared a special lobster dinner. The head waiter, Kenny Holgate, draws loads of feminine patrons. He was one of Voc's biggest flirts. Remember? Roger Columbus brought a group of friends up here for a party, Saturday. Included were Ronnie Gibson. Claudette Beiisle. Bud Willner. Monnie Cramer. Ralph Juris, Gwen Dahl and. of course, the blue-eyed Pat Lockadell. The club's Cuban band won top honors at R.K.O. last week. Its members. Rod Neison. Bob Wetherall. and Don Harrer, thank Voc for their start. Barbara Mason designs the costumes for all my entertainers and the band’s too. You should see the club now. I just had it redecorated by Honorine Barth. Her staff, headed by Marie Manikowski. designed the draperies. Charles Grisby and Clifford Marity upholstered the new love seats in the lounge. Joe Zych is responsible for the repairs on all T.V. sets in the place. My secretary, Shirley Sutherland, makes all the arrangements for the parties and entertainers. Her hard work as senior class secretary is paying off now. This afternoon Earl Holland, Carl Klevin, and Roger Barclay stopped in on their way to the air force base. They looked mighty fine in their new uniforms. Shirley St. Marie, who is running for state senator out here, dropped in the other evening with Daryl Borneman. He is head of a big publishing house in San Francisco. Gary Colby is his assistant. Frances Lepeska came in with Fred Bones. She has a wonderful job as editor on the Woman's House Companion. Well—Bettilou. I wish you great success with your shop. The best of wishes to you and any of our former classmates you may see. Sincerely yours, AL C 12 3 ANDERSON. ARLINE: Russian . Printing.

The popularity and value of this practice has caused it to become an American tradition. In fact, giving awards has extended into all fields of effort. Industry, service clubs, civic groups, and communities all over our land reward their members for outstanding performances. The government of the United States recognizes difficult and hazardous feats in battle by awarding outstanding soldiers with the highest honors our country can bestow upon them. From kindergarten through the twelfth grade and on into higher schools of education, outstanding accomplishment has been recognized by awards. The parade of awards at Vocational has expanded to include high scholastic standing, ability in the various fields of sports, the school paper and the year book, art, good citizenship, as well as other fields of endeavor. The awards that have been accepted by the Vocational High School faculty and enjoyed by the students are: The Boys State , sponsored by the American Legion of Minnesota.

Our diplomas are on the same level as other secondary schools and our graduates, too, may enter the university or colleges of their choice. Among the academic subjects taught at Vocational are English, history, modern problems, science, Spanish, math, and music. Elective subjects are also offered at Vocational such as creative writing, radio workshop, and journalism—writing for the school paper. Besides teaching the fundamental techniques of their subjects, the teachers of English, history, and modern problems classes prepare their students for good citizenship. Due to a constantly changing world, it is necessary to gain a clearer knowledge, not only of our own country but of the different forms of government and cultures of other lands. Understanding, to an extent, other peoples of the world is one more step towards peace. Classes that are especially important in their relation to the trades are science and math. Students are taught the basic fundamentals of these subjects as well as their relationship to the different trades. A knowledge of related subjects makes for more intelligent workers in the trade classes. The graduates of Vocational High School are prepared to take their places in the community, not only as skilled workers, but as good citizens through the knowledge gained in the academic work.

If America's youth arc to contribute successfully to their communities, they must fulfill these requirements. Because Vocational is primarily a trade school, the emphasis for the students is on meeting this challenge. It is done here by offering a wide range of trades, counseling in the selection of a suitable trade for the individual, instruction in the fundamentals and skills of the crafts, and teaching the proper trade relations between employee and employer. Vocational is more strongly related to in- dustry than are the academic high schools. This is due largely to the part-time cooperative program set up by the State Department of Education. The plan provides practical on-the-job training for seniors in the trades in which they have had two years of instruction. Thus they become acquainted with shop and business rules before they begin their apprenticeships. This provides industry with low labor turnover, and a chance to choose the right individuals for suitable jobs. As a result of this training in the trade classes. Vocational's students are better prepared to serve their communities as proficient workers and educated citizens.

Led by co-captains, Roger Frazier and Don Nybo. and sparked by Peter Chido and John Schable, the team shocked Marshall with a defeat. This was our most outstanding game. At the end of the season the team elected John Schable as the most valuable player. In his first year as football coach at Vocational, Cappy Jones has won a warm place in the heart of every student with his excellent coaching and best possible efforts to better our team.

The mighty Volts ended a successful basketball season by setting an all-time scoring record in city competition with 563 points and finishing second place. The former record was 513 points set by Henry in 1945. This, however, was only a start for the Volts. They romped over Henry and Washburn to gain entrance to the final District 17 game with North. At this event Vocational trailed until the last few minutes of the game when a final burst of brilliant playing gave them a victory. This won for Vocational the District 17 championship and a berth in Region Five. In the first game powerful Hopkins finally stopped the Volts and went on to take state championship. Our cagers were inspired by the leadership of Joe Zych as well as the splendid playing of Ralph Juris, Dick Stawski, Jerry Kuchinski, and Ray Kocan. The team and students at Vocational are greatly indebted to Coach Tom Withrow for his excellent coaching that resulted in a very successful season.

Swimming Vocational's swimming coach, Mr. Booth, started the season with a team composed of two seniors and the balance, unexperienced sophomores. After the season was over, Mr. Booth made this statement: The 1952 swimming team is the best Vocational has had for years. If these tenth graders stick together for the next two years, they should develop into a championship team. Tony St. Arnold, an outstanding diver, broke the record for all-city divers with a score of over 73. Vocational participated in the state meet at the end of the season. Although none of the boys placed, it was good experience for our team to compete against seasoned swimmers. Our seniors, such as Dick Thompson and Paul Young, will be hard to replace but with good summer practice, the team should be ready to go places this coming year. CROSS COUNTRY—Front Row; J.

Hockey The 1952 hockey team set an all time record for Vocational by winding up the season among the five top teams in the city. With Chuck Fowler, Don Allen, and Dick Hatcher keeping the ice hot, Roger Warren did an excellent job of guarding the goal. The puck-sters started strong by defeating North and coasting by West. After a defeat from Roose- velt, they came back to win two more from Edison and South, holding second place in city running. A heartbreaking defeat from Southwest, the city champs, followed by another from Washburn, dropped us to 5th place. The Volts, however, came back to tie with Marshall for our most successful season.

Baseball With John Schable the only returning letter-man, the 1952 baseball team didn't look too promising but even Coach Vern Fiedler was surprised when the team won the first three practice games. The boys really started strong and much credit goes to Walter Traczyk on the mound and John Schable, catcher. Other outstanding members on the team are Bob Wojto-wicz. Eugene Chiodo, and Harlo Johnson. Cross Country The Vocational cross country team placed seventh in the city by winning dual meets from Edison and West. Lack of experience was a big handicap to the team, especially in the state meet. Out of 27 teams represented in the state meet, the Volts placed 15th. Mr. Milo Sween, the cross country coach, pointed out Eugene Young, a senior, as the most outstanding runner. Other important team members were Earl Krenz, Ed Bartlett, and Robert Landmark. CS 63 King Richard Herold The 1951 Vocational Homecoming activities started with an exciting contest for king, queen, and their attendants. The results of the election gave us Pat Simso, queen, Richard Herold, king, and Evelyn Shaffer, Bob Scherer, Pat Reynolds, Ken Peters, Mary Lou Osgar, Russell Scott as I Oth, I Ith, and 12th grade attendants for their majesties. A special pep-fest opened the day's festivities. The honor of crowning the king and queen was given to the president of the Student Council, Adelpha Williams. 'Pin the Pioneers was the theme of the afternoon football game played against Central High at the Parade Grounds. Adding to the exciting atmosphere, Vocational's band, in their bright gold and purple uniforms, played the school song and other rousing selections. The cheering of the crowd was stimulated by the enthusiastic leadership of the cheerleaders. During the half-time period, the king and queen with their attendants rode around the field in convertibles. Al Haley led the procession in his brightly festooned Model A Ford. The Homecoming dance that evening added a thrilling climax to the day's activities although the game ended in a defeat for Vocational. The Halloween theme was carried out in the gay decorations of the gym and the costume of the Master of Ceremonies, Nels Christenson. Nels, disguised as an eerie old witch, introduced their majesties and attendants to an enthusiastic audience. Mr. Nord, Vocational's principal, paid tribute to Queen Patricia by presenting her with a bouquet of beautiful red roses. King Richard received a colorful boutonniere as a token of respect from assistant principal, Miss Thomson. The girl attendants wore corsages given them by their homerooms. All-in-all, the Homecoming activities of this year rank among the top in Vocational's history. HOMECOMING 1951 The Royal Mascot.' C90] Homecoming Royalty.' The crowded homecoming dance.

Occorating their Christmas tree, Mrs. Beattys room. Christmas week at Vocational was one filled with excitement, fun, and celebration. The choir sang carols which were heard throughout the building. Halls and rooms were gayly decorated with lighted trees and bright colored streamers. The spirit of Christmas filled the air. The day before vacation, music and laughter echoed in the halls. The various home rooms used their time for Christmas parties. There was pop, ice cream, cookies, and cakes and an exchange of presents. That afternoon, the Radio Workshop pre- sented a beautiful Christmas program over the Vocational Broadcasting System. This added a solemn note to the day and represented the true meaning of Christmas. The grand finale of Christmas week at Vocational was the senior party which was held the last night. Mr. Kaercher played Santa and handed out candy canes to everyone. Al Haley brought his band which added more cheer to the gala event. The conclusion of the dance brought to an end another successful Christmas at Vocational.
