Nou put the foundations under them.” —HENRY DAVID THOREAU Ground-breaking ceremonies for our new auditorium, held on April 14, 1955, began another chapter in our history. The first chapter was written by a valiant and faithful lady—the founder of Vocational High School. Today Vocational is outstanding among the nation s trade schools, and every stride forward is a reminder of her dream and its realization. May all Vocational's sons and daughters likewise have courage to be dreamers as well as builders of dreams. Our Red Letter Day—the pleased expressions of Mr. Nord, Barbara Peterson, Lewis Holm, and the expectant faces of students and faculty mirror their vision of the new structure that will rise from the dust where they stand. And here, in comprehensive form, is a front page record of the Craftsman issue which commemorated the prog'ess of this dream . . . ______________________________________________________________________________________[ The Craftsman Vocormrad H h School.

NORMAN JENSEN Assistant to the Principal MR. RAYMOND V. NORD Principal u , . . T administration The dream expands — Vocational High School, this year celebrating the fortieth anniversary of its founding, late in spring began listening to the ear-shattering sounds of drill and hammer, and by-passing its usual routes to lunchroom and barber shop. This new activity seems to underline and emphasize the activity which has always been present—the activity of thousands of students pursuing their private dreams. Located as it is in the heart of our mid-town area. Vocational seems to pulsate with the varied life and purpose of 1,500 high school students. 250 veterans, and 3.500 adult evening school students. In serving the many needs and dreams of these groups, our administration continually keeps two objectives in mind, as stated by Mr. Nord, our Principal: One—To train people in a trade so they will have a saleable skill: Two—To give students the experiences and that information which they need to enable them to take their places as good citizens in the community, city, nation, and the world. In their long and patient effort to achieve these fine objectives, Mr. Nord and his assistants have shown kindness, tolerance, and firmness, and have thereby gained the respect of the student body. It is from such roots that a real school spirit' grows. CO-ORDINATORS MR. 8ERTELSEN MR. JENNINGS MISS LEWIS MRS. KENYON MRS. SCHMIDT OUR CO-ORDINATORS check closely the progress of students in their departments. In counseling individual students the Co-ordinators cooperate with homeroom advisers, visiting teacher, nurse, department heads, and employers participating in the co-op program. OUR OFFICE STAFF is a genial and efficient group—-one which is alertly geared to the intricate machinery of our Vocational School. An immense amount of clerical work in the form of attendance and class records, bookkeeping, and switchboard are handled daily by these workers. Mr . Helen Brophey, Mr .

Our English teachers feel that, while the Vocational student needs practical English to equip him for earning a place in business and industry, he also needs to develop a cultural background which will help him to live more fully and understandingly . . . Retail training teachers emphasize merchandising skills and practical experience in human relations . . . The needle wielders and those in the textiles field give their students many opportunities while in school to make products for school use or for school store sale . . .

Given valuable training by experienced teachers, many cosmetology graduates secure positions in leading beauty shops, or open shops of their own. after satisfactorily completing 1,500 hours in cosmetology and passing the state board examination . . . Our Social Studies teachers aim is to make all students —whatever their trade—alert to their responsibilities as thinking citizens in an expanding world community.

STRATEGY If good marks you want to get, Just become the teacher's pet. Bring an apple, or maybe a pear— Just to show you really care. And if you use the right technique. You’ll find your marks can be unique. Starting the Day Right! C133 An Apple for the Teacher . . . Seriously, all thought of the old apple polish aside, we think a lot of our teachers. Many of them will stand out in our memories:a few of them will be remembered for their wit and humor, some for their exacting discipline, some for their human understanding, some for their ability to inspire the best in us, and most of them for their conscientious desire to help us fulfill our ambitions. We think of Mr. Dickey, his teasing remarks and his loud bow ties: Mr. Booth and his beanie, singing at our pep fest: and Mr. Arent and his patient kindness with the flag twirlers. Everyone thinks Mrs. Rice is nice and Mrs. Turkington is fun. and Miss Kean is a friend to everyone. Mr. Thomas B. Cooley at work. Too often, in our workaday world, we forget the beauty and harmony afforded by music, but programs in which the band and choir participate serve to remind us that we do not live by bread alone. Mr. Thomas Cooley leads these organizations, and Mrs. Elsie Kwakkernaat. besides teaching music and heading our large club organization, each music season takes many students to Northrop Auditorium for the student symphony concerts . . .

Gander—Cosmetol- ogy Miss Hazel B. Brown—Hospital. Pre-Nursing Mr. Fred Stinchfield—Electricity Mr. Lloyd Stowell—Architectural Drafting Mr. Edward Skibness—Science Mr. and Mrs. William Bruschweiler —Restaurant Training, School Nurse Miss Burneice Stalcke—Restaurant Training As we go to press in 1955, the only retiring teacher we know of is Mrs. Ethel DeMars who taught History. We Seniors, who have reached one milestone, honor you who have reached another, and hope that your years of retirement may be filled with fond memories. ■ LL . f underclassmen Vocational welcomes all those students who seek to fulfill their dreams of finding a worthy place in the community. All of us can recall our childhood dreams of being cowboys or supermen, bareback riders or jungle girls: or later on, our secret eighth grade passion to be TV stars or great scientists. But as our formative years go on. we become a little more practical. Each year, Vocational swings wide its hospitable doors to hundreds of students entering the Sophomore class from junior high schools all over the city and its suburbs. These new students are eagerly seizing the opportunity offered them to put the foundations under their castles in the air. And the Juniors, after a year of orientation and application. would probably agree that '7 is the first of all problems for a man to find out what kind of work he is likely to do in the universe—Thomas Carlyle.

Sharon Lifgren, Senior Class Treasurer, looking firm about financial problems presented by Phillip Hedwall, Vice-President; Dick Lancello, President; and Carol Tienter, Secretary. seniors As the never-ending waves of the sea, each succeeding school year washes up a new deposit of Big Wheels, or Seniors. We of the 1955 wave have had our day as sophisticated Seniors, only to become freshmen again in the much larger and sterner school of the competitive world. Most of us are ready to meet this challenge, however. because we have confidence that our vocational training and related academic work have fitted us for ever-widening responsibilities in the kind of world we want to build. With Greetings, then, to the Seniors of 1956, and a fond farewell to our school, we go out to build the foundations for our dreams, too. Our Senior Class advisors have launched another class . . . MRS. SARAH JANE LEMKE MR. THOMAS 8. COOLEY This good-humored pair, Mr. Cooley and Mrs. Lcmke. are indispensable advisors to the Senior class each year. Everything—the Senior parties, the banquet, the picnic, the prom, as well as the more humdrum routine of class business—is the result of their efficient direction.

While we weren't often on the winning side, we think the following pages will show with what zest and spirit we played the game. Football Follies CART. FRANK WHITNEY With our hard hitting line and fast running back-field. Vocational opened its season by meeting Washburn. only to bow 40 to 0. Still confident of a good season, we moved against Henry only to suffer another loss 19 to 0. Recovering from these defeats, we went into our Homecoming game with Southwest. Confident of victory, this time we ran into what some have called a Homecoming jinx and a 19 to 7 beating. Again our old spark glowed as we battled North to a 7 to 6 decision, but one missed conversion cost us that one. This was the Volts' best game of the season with outstanding play by Mingo. Traczyk, Mancini, and many others. This year Coach Cappy Jones retired from his coaching job. and Jerry Cady took over as head coach. Although we re soing to lose ten or more of our A squad members through graduation, we look forward to an impressive season next year with many fine Sophomores and Juniors who all turned in outstanding performances this season.

Well, here we ore the onnuol Football Banquet held each year at the end of the football and cross country seasons. It is November 18 and everyone is excited to get this banquet underway. Along with the usual festive gaiety, everyone has a special feeling about this evening because it is the last banquet Cappy will attend as coach of our football team. Mr. Jensen, who is Master of Ceremonies, will review the year's football games and then introduce Mr. Sween, Cross Country Coach. Here is Mr. Sween now. After introducing his cross country boys, who in turn introduce their fathers. Mr. Sween reports that in the State Cross Country we placed ninth out of thirty-five teams. Following a farewell speech. Cappy introduces each member of the football team, who then introduce their dads. The highlight of the banquet is coming now. Frank Whitney, speaking on behalf of the team presents Cappy with a golf caddy. Cappy has only one reply. OH! Well, it looks as if the banquet is coming to a close. But wait! The cheerleaders have something to say. They are presenting Cappy with handkerchiefs suitable to each stanza of a poem which Mrs. Sarah Jane Lemke has written, as follows: Here is a hanky and also a wish: May naught but the finest of fine be your dish. Here is a hanky—when games are a bust You'll find a good blower an absolute MUST. Here is a hanky—you’ll need a good spare When visions of Rose Bowls fade into thin air. Here is a hanky to mop your brow Aren't you glad Cady's coaching now? Here is a hanky in which to giggle When you watch the other coaches squirm and wiggle. And here is a hanky for your lovely Bea Won't she be happy—now that you're free! Here is a hanky—it's king size and strong— Just right for a crying towel when the season's gone wrong. •THE YEARS HAVE FLOWN— FOR ME??' C 70 3 B TEAM Top row: Daniel Erickson, Ronald Edwards.

Lacking height, but not fighting spirit, the team ended its season with one win and nine losses, to finish in tenth place. Our only victory came in an overtime period playing Southwest, with Vocational winning 41-39. This year our team was sparked with six seniors who have put away their uniforms for the last time: Bob Traczyk, Frank Whitney. Jim Verbrugge. Jack Bartlett. Brian Norris, and Ron Cole. Coach Tom Withrow expects to have a good team with many well developed Juniors and Sophomores next season. Both the team and student body are grateful to Tom Withrow and Vern Fiedler for their excellent coaching job. 1721 IT'S UP AND IN FOR 2 MORE! Left to right: John Hacked. Myron Humphries. Ronald Cole.

The annual benefit basketball same given by the Varsity and Faculty raised a nice sum for the Red Cross Drive. Faculty players were Budish, Karbo. Cady, Rodde, Nelson and Voss. The lineup for the Varsity was Traczyk. Norris. Ver-brugge. Bartlett, and Cole. . . . The result? The Faculty won 57 to 52. The teams were both in there pitching and they seemed to enjoy it. It was a sood cause and a lot of fun. They're All Wet—But Can They Swim! WHO IS IT? FROGMEN IN ACTION Our swimming team, which consists of ten boys, fought its way to the end of the season, coming up with a record of two wins and seven losses. Members of the team were Bill Bungert. Maurice Hobbs. Chuck Kuester, Eugene Latourneau, John Monahan. Roger Olson, John Miller. John Pasma, Jerry Sterzinger, Roy Tyer. George Zelenak. Outstanding were Olson, Latourneau, and Kuester. The Vocational victories were from Edison 43-32, and South 45-30. Mr. Voss predicts an excellent season for the next year if eight undergrads return to the swimming team. Won 2 Lost 7 READY? ... GO!

Vocational, with thirty-eight team members hoping for a knock-out season, opened its '55 Hockey season at the Minneapolis Arena on January 4. They battled with Edison to a scoreless first period. At the opening of the second period. Dave Olson scored for Edison, giving them a one to nothing lead. Then with 10:38 left in the second period, John DeRoy scored for Vocational, tying the score one to one. With one minute remaining in the second period. Jim Rasling scored what appeared to be the winning goal for Edison. Both teams played a furious third period with no score developing, giving Edison a two to one victory over Vocational. This first game was typical of every game: the boys played their hearts out. but due to lack of experience they ran into misfortune, although their spirits never died. Retiring seniors on the team were Bob O'Brien, Captain Shorty Liychik. Eugene Hof-stede. and goalie Curtis Magnuson. Next year Coach Karbo expects a stronger team. COME ON. SHORTY-BOY! TWO DOWN C76] On the Mats — LARRY NYBERG APPLIES A HEADLOCK TO BILL DOUGLAS BACKFIELD IN MOTION! Wrestling is a new sport at Vocational. Although it was dropped some years ago it has recently been revived. This year's team lacked balance, which kept it from being a city champ. Our team had many fine wrestlers, the outstanding boys being Marlin Wharton. Dale Schmidt. Larry Nyberg and Jack Erickson. Next year only Jack Erickson is returning from these four. 1956 looks like a year of rebuilding but we should always be presentable enough, since Coach Cady seems to have plenty of available brawn among the student body. Our team had a fine season record of 10 wins and 4 losses and City Conference record of 7 wins and 2 losses. WRESTLING TEAM Pint row, Lei to right: Bob Newell.

Mr. Sween, history teacher, has been our Track Coach for the fifteen years he has been at Voc: in 1949 he also became our Cross Country Coach. Voc did pretty well in Cross Country, with a 3-3 record. In the State Meet, with 35 teams represented. LeRoy Apsley placed 28th for Voc: in the City Meet he placed I 7th. At the date this copy is being written, it is too early to guess what our runners will do in the Spring Track meets. Someone on the team ventured to predict 3 wins for Voc this season, on the basis that we have few stars, but a lot of depth and experience. Fourteen meets were scheduled for this year.

(But don't ask us why the picture above shows boys only: maybe the girls were too busy practicing to have their pictures taken.) Golfing students receive free instruction and weekly practice at the University of Minnesota's indoor golf range. A spring picnic is the social event of the season. BASEBALL: With the exception of Bob Traczyk, Senior, our Baseball squad this season was made up of Sophomores and Juniors. Coach Fiedler hopes that the experience they gained this year will build them into a fine ball club for next year. The team played eight conference games this year.

Our Sophomore Basketball team, coached by Vern Fiedler, got off to a slow start this season. As the season progressed, there was much improvement. The team ended the season with 4 wins and 7 losses. Next year four members from this team will be joining the A squad. Will they be the great oaks of their senior squad? Only time can tell. CHEERLEADERS Gazing from the parapet above our Dust Bowl.' Do they zee a shining new audetorium. or future basketball champs? The Girls Are Active, Too! The 9irls at Vocational take an active part in sports, too. Tennis, golf, basketball are popular pastimes in the Girls' Athletic Association. Highlight of the season was the badminton tournament, with Donna Boniarczyk and Philip Hedwall representing Voc at the city-wide mixed doubles games. Donna and Phil went as far as the semi-finals, where they were defeated by Edison. Top: Badminton match in guls’ gym. Bottom: Janice Holt. Into the fading past go sand-filled shoes and wistful spectators. activities We wait, while the dream secretly unfolds— When this picture was taken in the fall of 1954. no one knew that, in a few short months, the ground we were standing on—the old Dust Bowl—would soon be just a memory: or did Mrs. Turkington and Mr. Haynes have inside information? They seem to be tickled about something. It was a thrill for all of us to witness the groundbreaking ceremony. The cheer that greeted Mr. Nord as he ascended the platform to speak was evidence of this. He spoke for all of us when he said. I am looking forward to the many pleasant experiences the student body and the staff members will have when we can all assemble in one room to enjoy the profit from programs which will be possible when we have an auditorium. As several of our thoughtful speakers reminded us, there are those in the past whose unselfish dreams have opened a way for us to follow, and we in our turn can show our gratitude for having received so much. In the words of the current popular song, as Mrs. John W. Gruner of the Citizens Committee told us— If your heart is full of gladness Pass it on!” Were You There When • • • We Crowned Our King and Queen— There was a different feer about Homecoming this year. Suspense was in the air. for no one was sure which of the candidates would be chosen King and Queen. The strain was pretty tough—especially for the candidates—when Bob Long and Nancy Killerlain, Student Council prexies, walked around the waiting candidates during the ceremony as though enjoying their power. When a light kiss landed on the cheek of John Gillquist, and a somewhat heavier one descended on the cheek of Nan Roe, the secret was out! Long live King John and Queen Nan! Even losing our game 19-0 to Southwest didn't dampen our spirits—especially when the Royal Party drove around the field at the half. Waving and smiling from an assortment of beautiful cars were queen candidates Lorraine Anderson. Shirley Namie. Dorene Robert, and Nan Roe: looking pleased and proud were king candidates Mike Kenny, Paul Nordstrom. Brian Norris, and John Gillquist. Junior attendants were Barbara Peterson and Jerry Wrubel; Sophomore attendants were Mary Cunningham and Vernon Cook. All of the excitement was heightened by the show put on by the Band and the Flag Twirlers. Jerry Dibble's orchestra played for the Homecoming dance that evening, and in a lovely ceremony Miss Thomson pinned a red carnation on John, and Mr. Nord presented Nanette with a bouquet of red roses. P.S.—All the rest of us commoners had a good time, too. JOHN GILLQUIST Our Homecoming King NANETTE ROE Our Homccomins Queen BAND Our band, under the direction of Thomas B. Cooley, played for many events, and for some of our special programs at Homecoming. Christmas, and Easter. Their presentations lend color and movement to all these events. In one program the band took a musical tour of America, with such songs as Let Me Go. Lover,” Hold My Hand.” and Naughty Lady of Shady Lane.” Bill McDonald was narrator in a skit presented by Mr. Haynes' Radio Workshop group. Serenade to an Insomniac.” EIRoy Forss played the nerve-frazzled sleepless one. CHOIR In the beginning of the school year, our Choir had only fourteen members but as the months passed, membership increased to sixty-eight under the tutelage of Mr. Cooley and Mrs. Kwakkernaat. When Christmas week arrived, the Choir sang the traditional inspiring series of concerts and. for twenty-five lovely minutes each morning, their voices rose up the stairway from the first-floor entry. For the fourth consecutive season, also, they sang at Farmers and Mechanics Bank. At Easter time they presented The Seven Last Words of Christ” by DuBois in an assembly program. Their new royal blue robes were worn for the first time at our Commencement exercises. CRAFTSMAN B«ck Row Standing: Jerry Olson, Dave Whitmer, Wayne Schmidt, 3rd page editor: Bob Lepora, B 1 T mm.

The Craftsman, our much criticized but well-beloved school paper, is one of our major activities. It is produced in a journalism class and published in our own Vocational Print Shop. Staffed this year by seventeen ambitious young men and women, it has conscientiously tried to meet the high standards of the best high school journalism. as evidenced by Pat Gravely's winning second place in Editorial Writing at the Minnesota High School Press Association Conference at the University of Minnesota this spring. High standards in news and sports coverage, in the reflection and highlighting of student opinion, and in the writing of special articles are weighty demands on the abilities of seventeen students, but under Miss Fisk s patient and experienced direction they have produced much that has been valuable and entertaining. Criticism, which very few mortals escape, only spurred them on to better effort. This shows what stuff they are made of and we congratulate them and hope their successors will catch their spirit.

LEADERSHIP COMMITTEE LAyiNG PLANS FOR THE LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE Center foreground. left to right: John Hageman. Evan Stadm. Robin Berg. Marge Paramorc. Ga.land Zanor Diane Nordgren David Fcrch. Glenda Moseman. Dave Whitmer. Barbara Peterton. Let's Face It! This was the theme for the Fifth annual Vocational Leadership Conference which was held on February 16th ahd 17th. Representatives attended from each of our home rooms, and from each of the Minneapolis high schools. The ten students on the planning committee pictured above first attended the All-City Leadership Conference and then began planning our own conference. The purpose of the Vocational High School Conference was to give students an opportunity to dis- cuss mutual problems and experiences. These discussions took place in eight different groups, and concerned topics such as safe driving, drinking, and juvenile delinquency. These topics were keynoted by Mr. Merle Weaver, opening speaker, who reviewed the types of problems faced by teen agers today. Miss Stella Sorum was faculty adviser. The Conference was rounded out with coke sessions and social dancing, and was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. [91 ] When Friday Rolls Around . . Reading counter-elockwije: Senior Dancing, Com munity Singing, Baton and Flaq Twirling. Sketch Club. Sophomore Mixers, Pom-Pom Twirlers, Red Cross Club, L'brary Club. About every other Friday, a period of school time is given over to organized group hobbies, functioning as clubs. Unfortunately, we do not have enough space to show all of these clubs in action . . . Senior Dancing probably claims the largest membership, with 132 boys and 120 girls polishing up their pedal know-how and acquiring social ease at the same time . . . Activities of the Community Singing Club were highlighted by a Talent Show on March I I. Bridget Fragale was mistress of ceremonies, and Mary Jane Addicks, June Kankelfitz and June Walker danced to Bell Bottom Blues while Pat Shea pantomimed. Mrs. Tarnowski hosted at refreshments afterward . . . Room 216 is the scene of the Flag Twirlers' activities. They provide entertainment between halves of games, and club days find them practicing formations. Being on TV this year was one of their highlights . . . The Sketch Club was organized in 1952. When weather permits, students go out of doors near Vocational and draw or paint in any medium they wish. Since the weather often restricts outdoor activity, many club meetings are spent drawing from a posed model or finishing sketches previously begun . . . Members of the Mixers, Sophomore social dancing group, should be mighty suave and sophisticated by the time that Senior year rolls around . . . Pom Pom Twirlers, who traditionally take over the following year's flag twirling, have participated in the Football Preview. Homecoming, and one of our basketball games . . . Without a doubt, the Junior Red Cross Club is the top service organization in our school. It is a branch of the American Red Cross, and participates in two school-wide activities during the year. These are the filling of gift boxes for needy children all over the world, and Red Cross enrollment in the spring . . . And here are the quiet ones : Reading Club. An hour of quiet browsing among books is often appreciated by many of us whose busy lives afford little time for thinking and reading. All that's missing here are green trees and a running brook.

You're probably wondering why our trophy case is pictured on our Awards page this year .... How often have you admired our trophies? Probably not once! Just because we haven't added any cups to the case lately doesn't mean we should forget our past endeavors, does it? 1954 State Fair Exhibit We did it again! Yes, Vocational High School took first prize with its exhibit at the State Fair. This was the fourth time in the last five years we have won the coveted Blue Ribbon. The scale model was built by the adult drafting class. The cabinet making class assembled the exhibit here at school first, worked on the panels, table, shelves, and mounted the projector. The art department worked on the layout, suggested the various colors, and then built a paper model. For the finishing touch, the adult drafting and the cabinet making classes set up the exhibit at the fair. WINNERS' SMILES! Below: Several member, of the Tradcwmd Staff are enjoying the luncheon in the Woikiki Room at the N.collet Hotel through courtesy of Pritcha'd Studios. „ • TRADEWIND STAFF From Us to You! Producing the school annual is one of the major activities of the Senior Class, but we twenty-four new beginners on the Tradewind Staff had only a faint idea of what is involved in this task. Our adviser eased us in gradually, and before we realized what was happening we were in the middle of our job. After examining representative yearbooks from all over the country at the John Leslie Paper Company. we began work. We made the layout of the book, designed the cover, conducted interviews, wrote preliminary copy, collected pictures, and campaigned for subscriptions. To educate ourselves on yearbook production we attended workshops at Augsburg College and at the Nicollet Hotel. Vocational, with its eight representatives. won a luncheon in the Waikiki Room at the Nicollet following the workshop sponsored by Pritchard Studios. (The Pritchard photo shows us enjoying this honor.) Several members of the staff also attended the Minnesota High School Press Association Conference at the University of Minnesota in the summer of 1954. At the spring MHSPA Conference at the U.. attended by about 14 Seniors and Juniors, the Tradewind won first place in Minnesota for cover design. Sharon Mark received a certificate for this award. Mrs. Byrne, faculty adviser, toiled patiently with us all year, constantly reminding us of our deadlines. Mrs. Kay Johnson. Mr. Kenneth Thompson and Miss Roskilly lent us their aid and advice. Mr. Haga, or one of his assistants, was always there' when we needed pictures. We don't have space enough to list the names of all those who so generously cooperated in helping us to produce and sell the Tradewind. but we are grateful to Mr. Carlson of Lund Press, Mr. Segal of Bureau of Engraving, and homeroom business agents. This book is the result of our labor. If we have made any mistakes, we hope that you Juniors will be able to profit by them when you are producing the 56 Tradewind.'From us to you—here it is!

It seems that September was just yesterday and we were anticipating the school year with glee. Now, the fun of the dances, parties, games, and classes is over for another year. The Seniors are looking back with saddened faces at what has been. They know that never again will their school days return, and never will the same group be together again. The Juniors have had an exciting year too, but they are puzzled as to whether they should look backward or forward. The Sophomores have no problems. They are looking only forward—they think they have lots of time. If only they could know what the Seniors know now!
