As John Anderson, our last president, took office, a revised form of student government was enacted. Penalties were placed on pupils with unlocked lockers, monitors prowled the halls, and unruly students were brought before the Discipline Committee. Now, as we look uj on our remaining days at Minnehaha, we see that everything is in readiness for our commencement. Pictures have been taken, announcements and cards have been ordered, and all details have been attended to. And so, as we the class of 47 depart, building materials arc being ordered with which to repair the damage done by this, the greatest of all Minnehaha graduating classes. Pogo TwonJy-fiv©

smasher for the first semester. In his administration the class elected to change their style of rings. Another noteworthy incident was the commission of the quartet formed last year, as the King’s Messengers. Pete, John, Dayle, anti Danny were kept in constant demand throughout the school year. It was quite a year for the music department with the Singers engaged for several out of town concerts. Mr. Pearson was kept busy during the year explaining to audiences the significance of the many-colored bow tics. Tile Alumni outdid themselves at homecoming with booths, rides, and eats all combined into a smooth running event. Our class was represented in the royalty by Arloa and Corinne who attended Queen Lois Peterson. Powderhorn Park once again felt the brunt of this class when they took to the ice one sub-zero Friday night. Bill Peterson, Buss, and Woody helped park the basketball team to second place honors in the conference. After dumping Pills-bury in the first game of the tournament they were defeated at the hands of a superior Shattuck five. Danny Pearson was chosen to lead our class the last half of the school year. The main event of this spring semester was our first J. S. Without a doubt, it was the most successful one ever put on. Led by toastmaster Park the program moved along smoothly. The King's Messengers and a picked octette furnished music for the evening. Blessings wished on the Junior class by C. Lindstrom were followed by the handing down of the shoes. The banquet closed with singing of the first ten stanzas of the school song. From there the mob headed for Excelsior with E. Nicols in the lead. DEAR DIARY: September 6, 1946 We've reached our Zenith!! We have ceased to count by years and now think of the proximity of graduation in terms of days. This year introduced eleven man football to our gridiron. Could anyone ever forget the first game? Eleven red-clad warriors from the city ground an inexperienced Zumbrota team into their newly tilled field. Entertainment was Pog« Tw«nty-four furnished at the half by Zumbrota’s Corn Band. This was followed by several defeats. Tlic mixer was sparked by Stuart Anderson’s marriage of Joy CIcnck to Mr. Mooney. Oz Black, guest artist, caricatured members of the faculty and student body; refreshments followed. This year, 1946, marked the formulation of the Minnehaha Advance. The Singers gave added momentum to the Advance by their one week's tour o! Minnesota and Wisconsin. Because of their experiences with farm life during the trip. Bcttic I ou and Otlie” determined that this should be their life vocations. The student body played an important part in this program with the contribution of more than $700. Under President Virgil Johnson, the senior class contributed a goodly share toward the new gymnasium. Virgil together with the student council, also planned a snow day carnival which was held in place of our annual homecoming. An afternoon of tobogganing anti skating was climaxed by a hockey game with St. Paul’s Murray team and a basketball game with the alumni. King Elwood and Queen Marge reigned during the festivities and were crowned in an evening program. The King’s Messengers, who provided music for the evening, were mimicked beautifully by a girls’ quartet. I lowcvcr, the highlight of our senior year was the formation of a new activity, proudly named by starry eyed members, the Young Married Couples Club, leaders of this select group arc Buss Peterson and Paul Perkins, the latter being tricked into the position.
