Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1954 volume:

Hail Vocational “Hail, Old Vocational, Mail to thy name! Long may we honor Thy glory and fame . . . These words cl our familiar school song were composed over thirty years ago. Mr. Fcrnald Painter, their author, was a member of the Vocational faculty as an English teacher between 1921 and 1929. Although he had never taken lessons, Mr. Painter loved to play the piano. He also enjoyed composing pieces of his own. Mr. Painter created one which he played frequently, and for this he wrote words to accompany it. Because he had never studied harmony. Mr. Painter was unable to put his music on paper. Mrs. Evelyn Dixon, who taught the needle arts trade, also was a musician. After listening intently to his music, she was able to play the tune. Mrs. Dixon and Miss Ellen Perkins, who taught music at Vocational, decided to put down on paper, Mr. Painter’s words and music and arrange them in song form. Note by note, and chord by chord, they labored long hours until they had completed the composition. The result is now our cherished school song which has remained unchanged since that time. Here in this year book, you will sec how beautifully our song ties in with the many subjects and activities enjoyed at Vocational. 954 Tradewind THE MINNEAPOLIS VOCATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL and TECHNICAL INSTITUTE 3rd Avenue and 11th Street Minneapolis, Minnesota 3 MHC 374,47 IjS 6 I 4 � 4 'Wife o- 6- m 4 - ' TABLE OF CONTENTS OPENING SECTION.............................1 ADMINISTRATION..............................6 CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS....................14 UNDERGRADS.................................22 SENIORS....................................56 SPORTS.....................................74 5 AFTER HOURS 86 ddmihiA tratich Hail.

In spite of our childish antics, the jokes we thought were smart, and the blank responses that often met your serious lectures, deep down, we are grateful to you. We arc grateful to you for: Teaching us our trades. Because of your patience and skill, each one of Vocational’s students is equipped to earn his own living. Therefore, because of you, he is prepared to stand on his own feet—to make his own way. Opening up our minds. Because of you, we have become more conscious of the world in which we live, its problems, and the part we play in solving them. But most of all, you have revealed to us the real worth of ourselves and our abilities. As you survey each graduating class, your thoughts must wander back to the day when the seniors first entered Vocational. They came as untried and untrained tenth graders. Three years later, these same students leave Vocational with hands and minds trained by you. They go into the community prepared to serve. They go as good citizens. As each graduate leaves, he carries with him ideas and ideals molded by his teachers—by Vocational. So each one takes with him always, wherever he my go, a part of his school. Dear teachers, we owe you much. We have tried to tell you how we feel about it—what is in our hearts. Please accept our gratitude for everything—for your guidance, training, and your friendship. Sincerely, The Student Body of Vocational High School C NORMAN JENSEN Assistant lo the Principal MARGARET THOMSON Assistant Principal CO - ORDINATORS HENRY BERTELSEN GRACE KENNYON JANE LEWIS HAZEL SCHMIDT ROYALSTON JENNINGS We would like to: Welcome: Miss Margaret Christensen, our new nurse. We know you’ll enjoy your duties at Vocational. We hope that the students’ headaches don’t give you one of your own. Bid Farewell to: Mr. Bruschwciler, cooking teacher at Vocational for the past six years and to Mrs. Bruschwciler, our former school nurse who saw through our many schemes for taking the day off.” Mrs. Evelyn Dixon, head of the sewing department, who left us this year to carry on plans of her own in California. Have fun. Mrs. Dixon, stitching your way to fortune and fame! Mr. Stinchficld who will retire after thirty-three years of guiding students through the mazes of electricity. Cood luck, Mr. Stinchficld. P. S. We’ll miss your popcorn! 9 OFFICE STAFF: lohnny N’.i lun«l, Patty Mann. Margaret llummcll, Alice McLaughlin, MiMrc l Heir, Moreen Stichm.

Their wide variety of subjects include physiology. child care, psychology, dietetics and the study of the aged. Also in their course of study arc the proper ways to make up a hospital bed with a patient in or out of it and the bathing and feeding of the bed patient. The girls practice these techniques on each other in order to obtain the necessary skills. Actual experience is acquired while the students work for nine-weeks at the Vocational Nursing Home and spend another nine weeks at nursery schools supported by the city's settlement houses. Mrs. Evelyn Beatty and Miss Gladys Budd. both professionally trained nurses and teachers, have charge of this course at Vocational. LUNCHROOM PREPARES LUNCH FOR STUDENT BODY. 12 A Tribute To The Janitors How’d you like to keep 191 rooms clean? Wash 800 windows? Walk an average of eight miles each day, cleaning up after 1500 students and 110 teachers? This is only a fraction of the work done by Vocational's janitorial staff of 21 people headed by Mr. Johnson, Chief Engineer. On any hot summer day, one can find the force hard at work, scrubbing floors and desks, washing windows, and completely “overhauling each room in the building, preparing for another year of wear and tear. So to our fine janitorial staff for their excellent service to Vocational, we say. “Thank you. EDDY STOKES THE FURNACE. JANITORS Row 1: Edward Lee, Mabel Smith, Charles luhnson, Stanley Dahl.

As you stop for a moment to look at the Social Dancing Club in action, your cars catch strains of Jealousy floating down the hall from the Community Sing Club. Pecking into room KM, the clickety-clack of knitting needles arouses in you visions of gaily colored sweaters and mittens. If sketching is your dish, step into room 301 and watch the artists supreme” draw one another.

They’re a serious bunch and arc out to win.” Possibly your dad has qualms about letting you drive the family car. But the instructions and the movies offered you in Safe Drivers’ Club will pul his mind at case. With Photo Coloring, Football, Red Cross, Radio, Y-Tcens, B.A.A., and Bowling. Vocational provides the largest and most interesting program of its kind offered in any high school in the city. ORGANIZATIONS Our organizations at Vocational play a very important part in the everyday school life of the students and faculty. What would school be like without such groups as: Student Council—Never is a problem brought to the Student Council without its being carefully studied and answered one way or another. Without the Student Council to organize, promote, and carry-out the plans, there would be no dances, parties, pep fests or Homecoming activities. Radio Workshop—Wednesday and Friday mornings arc high-lighted with the informative and entertaining programs that this group provides for us. The Craftsman—Our school paper always keeps us up-to-date on news, sports, and chatter hot off the printing press. Choir—At Christmastime, Eastertime, and Commencement, our hearts arc filled with the beautiful singing of the choir. Band—With rousing “Hail, Vocational! the band lifts our spirits high at the pep fests and games. Senior Service—Goodwill ambassadors for Vocational, the. seniors serving in this group courteously guide our many visitors about Vocational's halls and busy classrooms. 16 RED CROSS “Wc Care — We Share.” The 1954 Red Cross slogan is aptly proven in the actions of Vocational's Red Cross Club. This group consists of twenty-five members. Their work is varied, ranging from stuffing toys for gift boxes for children’s hospitals to knitting afghans and socks. The students also make favors and scrapbooks for the sick and aged, decorate boxes to hold the personal belongings of bedridden persons, and a host of other things. During the Christmas season, the members work doubly hard filling gift boxes to Ik- sent overseas to needy countries. In responding so generously to this year’s fund-raising drive. Vocational proved again that We care—we share.” THE CHOIR SINGS Every day during the sixth period, our hardworking choir of forty students meets to warble away under the direction of Mr. Thomas Cooley. Each member works for the welfare of the whole group and disregards personal glory. Among the first of the events for which the choir sang was our Thanksgiving Day Program. No sooner was that over, than the group began to rehearse in collaboration with the Radio workshop, the Song of Christmas” by Fret! Waring. At Easter time they sang “An Angel Said to Mary, and the lovely “Sheep and Lambs,” as well as “To Thee We Sing. May 21st the choir and band, under Mr. Cooley's direction, presented us with the Spring Music Festival. The songs ranged from spirituals to jazz. But the high light of the year comes when the choir’s finest efforts in beautiful singing arc heard in the commencement program. Although Mr. Cooley’s patience is sometimes worn thin, he is loved by all his students, and is affectionately known as “Bruce. Thank you. Bruce, wc mean . . . Mr. Cooley, for sjK-nding so many hours with our musical organizations. Because of this, our choir has made a success of Vocational's many line programs. Volume XXIX llte G’lalt'iman Vocational High School, Minneapolis, Minnesota, June 14, 1954 No. 15 I am The Craftsman. Vocational's newspaper, and one of the most itn-portant agencies of the school. 1 supply the latest dope, gossip, anil school news every two weeks. The Latest Dope: Sports news for the hoys. You can tell by the expressions on the faces of my readers whether we won or lost our most recent football or basketball games. Hoy, was I glad to report our victory over Roosevelt in football! Kids gathered in bunches along the halls to read me then. Gossip: Everyone gets a bang out of my “Lois and Lcnorc column. Here I tell of things like the sparrow that almost got eaten alive by Eilenc Savage. 'Hie poor scared thing then flew around the school halls for a while trying to find a way to get out. Through this column students read of in and after school activities. They learn here of the embarrassing scores of our after-school bowlers. During the Yulctidc season. I wrote a letter to Santa telling him of who wants what for Christmas. School News: This section on our former graduates tells of who gets married, who goes into service and of who is successful in business. 1 tell of social occasions such as the Scholastic Day luncheon and awards given to students —the art awards and sports awards. The most important news that I’ve carried this year arc the many articles on our long awaited auditorium. If there is any luck, maybe my great, great, grandchildren may live to report its completion. Darryl Zempel, my editor-in-chief has a bi-monthly headache from trying to get me out on time. Each student on the staff has to scurry around looking for scoops to fill my hungry pages. Then after all the hard work is done, under the supervision of Miss Fisk, I am put to bed—the presses to you. Throughout the United States, I am exchanged with approximately one hundred and fifty other schools. Our alumni pay a small fee to get me. I am always in there pitching when a contest comes along but as for rating, well . . . I've never taken any prize but I'm usually close to the top. Anyway, my readers arc satisfied with me the way I am. I can tell that by the way they grab for me the minute I come out. So, I wouldn’t change for the world!

SOPHOMORE MIXERS CLUB SOPHOMORE MIXERS CLUB FLAG TWIRLERS Leadership Conference “Today’s Youth-Tomorrow’s Leaders —this was the stimulating theme for Vocational’s Leadership Conference held February 17 and 18. Delegates from other city high schools, who attended shared their views on problems of vital teen-age interest. For further enlightenment on these problems, a guest speaker was invited. Alter stating the purpose of the meeting as well as the conference theme, Carol Digaloff, Chairman, introduced Mr. Wes Fcslcr who spoke on leadership. F.nthusiastic delegates were greatly inspired by Mr. Feslcr’s speech and the group discussions. They left the conference feeling that many more get-togethers would lie very beneficial to both adults and youth. For behind lines planning and success of the conference, the students arc grateful to Miss Sorum and Mr. Jensen as well as the resource leaders. Row I: Karen New. Maynard Skrivicth, Carol l)i .iloff.

CARTOON CLUB MOVIE CLUB ETHICS COMMITTEE ETHICS COMMITTEE Every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday mornings at 8 o’clock sharp, Francis Noonan calls the Ethics Committee to order. 'litis group reviews eases of skipping from classes or school. Students judged guilty arc penalized with a seventh hour period. The Ethics Committee consists of students from the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. From a list of qualified hoys and girls recommended by their teachers, the president of the Student Council appoints those with fine scholastic and attendance records. Then, of course, good judgment on the part of these students is important. They must also be able to take the ribbing of the student body. It seems to be the price one pays for this job. It is rumored, that due to the work of the Ethics Committee, skipping cases have become far less numerous. VOCATIONAL’S BAND CREATIVE WRITING MRS. KWAKKERNAAT, CLUB ADVISOR THE TRADEWIND Wav back, months ago—in fact ages ago—during three hot, sultry, sticky days in August of 'S3, the ideas for this year's Tradewind were born. There at the U. of M. the members of your staff learned that a yearbook is nurtured with care and raised on hours of toil and affection. The Tradewind staff came back to school in September full of dreams and plans for this brainchild of ours. We fed it on photos of exciting sports, lighthearted students, helpful faculty, and memorable events. It was then clothed in words: verse, essays, and descriptions of life here at Vocational. Now at last, with our blessings, we arc sending the Tradewind out to meet you—its public. Treat our efforts tenderly. It's your baby now!

Never again will we walk its familiar halls; Never again will we know The joys and tribulations Of high school life; Never again will we lx: so young! Thinking over our high school days. We recall the exciting events of The Year Events that will live in our hearts Forever. In September of ’53; We had at last reached our goal! Now we were the high and mighty—the rulers. We were the Seniors! The Homecoming game and dance for us Were joyful, frolicking but tearful. It was our last year for these events. The last time we would cheer our team. It came and went too soon: The parties that we had at school. Dancing the Bunnyhop and the “Creep. Dances we’ll someday remember with laughter. The month of January brought The annual picture taking spree; We sighed, ogglcd, and praised Our classmates’ pictures. The Banquet was here in a moment. The food was delicious. The music touched our hearts. It truly was a king's banquet. With spring the days flew faster; A party livened up the times, The Picnic came and went. It was strange, but days That used to drag their heels Were going much too fast; Suddenly, we woke up to the fact The year was nearly over! The Prom arrived on a lxrautilul June evening— The girls dressed in soft, flowing gowns. The boys in their best. Will you ever forget it. Seniors? And then our final night together— Graduation! The hours passed all too quickly; Nervously, tearfully, we sang our school song For the last time. Goodbye, goodbye, Vocational, our Alma Mater. Always shall you be In memory held dear. 58 Top Row: John Siolkowski, Joyce |ohnvn . |im Miller. Bottom Row: Arlene Hoover, K.iren New. CLASS OFFICERS The Class Officers of 1954 will long be remembered by the senior class. It appreciates their hard work and attention to duty. Our president, Jim Miller, has presided over our well-organized senior activities with ability and dignity. Besides conducting the class meetings. Jim is also active in printing, senior dancing, and radio workshop. He made outstanding records in track and cross country events. Tall John Siolkowski of the Machine Shop Department has always been ready to take over the duties as vice-president. He has lived up to the qualifications for this office. l hc senior class has been fortunate in having blonde Joyce Johnson from Commercial Art as class secretary. Some of her duties in the past year have been writing business letters for the class and taking the minutes at the senior meetings. Because the senior class of 1954 is so large—453 students—two treasurers were needed to handle the finances. Arlene Hoover was elected as one. She is also a member of the Commercial Art Department. It has been her great task to balance the books. Arlene is a member of the Senior Service and has participated in the leadership Conference. She is now on the Tradewind staff. Karen Ness of General Business was also elected as treasurer. Besides keeping the accounts for the senior class in order, she is vice-president of the Student Council. I he class of 1954 thanks these five officers who have so unselfishly given their time and effort for the good of their fellow seniors. 59 HARVEY ADKINS: Machine Shop, Safe Drivers Club.

As lor ability, the Volts have shown their opponents how good they really arc. We have often hit the headlines as spoilers. Although the co-op program keeps many of our students from participating in athletic activities. Vocational, nevertheless, has made fine records in the field of sports. Because of the school spirit aroused by our cheerleaders, our student bod} backed our teams with fine turnouts during the year. Vocational students arc sports minded. They are proud of the teams they cheer. They know that next year’s athletes will carry on with the same winning spirit as they did this season.

FOOTBALL Boasting a hard-hitting line and a fast, smooth-running hackticld, the Vocational Volts bowled over two of the toughest teams in the city prep conference— Roosevelt and Central. Chet Janas , and Walt Traezyk, both All-City linemen. held our hard-hitting line together. They blasted the way for Johnny Patrick. Back of the Week, who rolled up yardage for the Volts. With three wins, three losses, and one tic, we fought our way to 4th place in the standings. Our team started the ball rolling by defeating Marshall, and then the Powerhouse Central eleven. However, North and South jolted our confidence by overwhelming us with two 26-6 losses. Recovering from these defeats, we went into our Homecoming game with West confident of a victory. But two missed conversions cost us that one. Nevertheless, our old spark glowed again when we battled Kdison to a 7-7 standstill. To wind up our gridiron season, the Volts pitted themselves against mighty Roosevelt.

Lacking height but not the fighting spirit and determination, the Volts ended their season with 6 wins and 4 losses to finish in 6th place.

Homecoming Brand the Cowboys roared the crowd of enthusiastic Volts, as they raced for the Parade Stadium on that all important day of October 23, 1953. Homecoming was moving forward in leaps and bounds. This was our day! But our brave little slogan didn't fare so well—West branded us 14 to 12. Nevertheless, we had a record crowd at the dance that night. We will long remember our lovely Queen Sharon I and King David II as they proceeded to their thrones to reign over our gay festivities. Our bruised spirits were soothed by the soft music of Tony Cruise's orchestra as we whirled around the floor. Vocationalites will look fondly back upon that eventful day. It opened with the president of the Student Council crowning our Homecoming king and queen before an eager crowd in the school court. It closed on a high, mellow note of happiness and content. THF.
