Dedication The 1957 Voyageur is dedicated to Mrs. Mary Kay Petersen, who left our school system this year to devote full time to her family. The girls in her physical education classes found her a friendly person, full of fun, and one who was very understanding. So we say a thanks to Mary Kay for all the help and guidance she has given to the students of this school, especially the girls, and who, like so many other teachers, receives in payment only the satisfaction of having helped another person in some way.

As the year progressed, we grew to know them better and appreciate them more. They gave us challenges and encouraged us in our personal interests as well as in our academic studies. After we have graduated, we will appreciate even more the help they have given us. MR. WILLIAM NILSEN Superintendent ADMINISTRATION Minnetonka students are lucky to have the guidance of Mr. William 0. Nilsen, our superintendent; Mr. Harold Larson, our principal; and the six members of our school hoard. In co-operation with the faculty and the students, they have made Minnetonka one of the more progressive schools in the state, with high academic standards, varied curriculum. and well organized school activities. They are the ones who formulate our school policies, plan the budget, and perform all the important, and at times, tedious jobs required to make our school run smoothly and successfully. MR. HAROLD LARSON Principal Mr. Kruger Libby, Mr. William Nilsen, Mr. Kern Fontaii Robert Reutiman, Mr. William Frommes. ine, Mr. Eugene Larson, Mr. John Thompson, Mr. 8 Mr. Gerald Bolmeier, counselor; Miss Evelyn Mo, assistant principal, Latin; and Mrs. Barbara Drolet, speech therapist. PMNClPfll FACULTY Us. Mildred Nelson, English, Spanish; Miss Olg° Huebner, English; Mr. John Raymond, English, speech; Mis. Margaret Heinen, nglish, Latin; Miss Mary Phelan, English, journal! ™; Mr. Ernest DeSantis, English; Mrs. Eloise F.ck, Engl.sh, French. All of us know Miss Mo. If we haven't been in her Latin class we've been in her office at least one morning to have her sign an absence blank. Mr. Bolmier’s office is next to Miss Mo’s; that’s where all of us had counseling when we needed advice on school problems or future plans. Some of us also had extra help from our new speech therapist. Mrs. Drolet. Also new this year were two English teachers. Miss Heinen and Mr. DeSantis. Students in senior English this year couldn’t possibly forget Macbeth, especially when they had to memorize lines and in w several instances, scenes, which were presented in full costume on stage to the rest of the class. It wasn’t too long before the juniors began quoting lines from the “Thanntopsis,” and the sophomores had their first taste of memorizing “Idylls of the King.” Besides memorizing, we also read books, gave speeches, and wrote research papers. Miss Huebner's sophomores wrote notebooks containing figures of speech, granynar, and pronunciation snags; and Mrs. Pick's seniors compiled a notebook of essays, themes, and original contributions, together with the material covered in class. 9 Mr. Harry Baker, history; Mr. social problems; Mr. Nelson Andrus. history; Mr. Roger Leak, history; Miss Florence Buschow, history. 4 J All of us, by the time we graduate, will have aV taken history and “soc. This year's courses were « V’ full of projects and term papers, and so was the library full the day before the projects were due. Besides affecting the library, the term papers also affected the typing classes, because many of the typing students typed term papers for seniors. This year a new system was originated when there were two history courses offered to juniors, a world history course for those going on to college and a world problems course for those who will be through with their education when they graduate. Venturing into the art room after school some night in December, you probably would have found Mr. Grimes busy making programs for the chorus’ Christmas concert. Making these programs shows how the music and art departments work together. Mr. Burton Grimet, art; Mr. Raymond Mr. Wayno Millard, mathematic ; Mr. lawayne Morseth, plane geometry, highor algebra; Mr. Eugono t � ol, highor algebra, lolid geometry, trigonometry; Mr. Ruben lokken, biology; Mr. Alfrod Gniffkc nemistry, physic ; Mr. Richard Hinkloy, plane geometry, chomistry.

With the chemistry classes trying to blow up the school, the biology classes disecting frogs and taking nature hikes, and the trig, classes surveying the school grounds, we found enough things of interest in our science and math departments to keep us busy. These departments have grown so much that this year a new teacher, Mr. Hinkley, taught the overflow of chemistry and plane geometry students, and Mr. Morseth acquired higher algebra students for the first time. Mr. Bristol was kept busy with his two algebra and two solid geometry classes. For those who didn’t go on to solid geometry and trig., there was senior math from Mr. Millard to struggle with. Phy. ed. always had been fun. Although it is required for sophomores, many upper classmen took it as an extra subject. They did the usual things this year, including combined classes with the boys and girls during the dancing units. In the fall, they went outside and could be seen from the windows doing exercises and playing soccer, and in the spring they could be seen shooting at targets during their archery period. 11 Some of the classes that were the most fun were home economics for the girls, and the shop classes for the boys. Some boys in wood shop made lamps from wood, while others in metal shop made wrought iron rails and utensils. Driver training was another fun class. The driver training car took a lot of punishment from hopeful future drivers, but it still was running at the end of the year. Mr. Milo Fowler, shop; Mr. Finer Anderson, driver training; Mr. Orion Peik, biology, wood shop. Mrs. Corrie Ober, secretary to the principal; Mrs. Ruby Barnes, secretary to the principal. Often we had been in the office, either getting passes, writing announcements in the bulletins, or giving club funds to Mrs. Ober for depositing. If we ever wanted to find someone, the office was usually the first place we went to. Or. if we needed supplies of some kind, they usually could be found there. 12 Mrs. Patricia Board, secretary to the superintendent; Mr. Robert Haig, business monager; Mrs. Harriet Gleason, secretary to the superintendent. Mr. Georgo - koch, supervising engineer; Mr. Orville Neutgens, engineering stoff; Mr. John Collins, engineering staff; Mr. Rudolph Kokesh, engineering staff. Mrs. Mary Geise, district nurse; Mrs. Margaret Nelson, secretary to the nurse. NOT PICTURED: Mrs. Christenson, district nurse. We have always been very dependent on the cooks and the janitors. We’ve especially realized the importance of the cooks third or fourth hour right before lunch, when we were the hungriest. Whenever we were locked out of a room, or whenever our lockers were jammed, the janitors were always there ready to help us. In the fall of the year we had histoplasmosis tests, and later on in the year we were given the usual diphtheria-tetanus and smallpox shots, if we needed them. The nurse plays an important part in our school, keeping detailed health reports on each student and arranging good health programs for us.

It swings into its sophomore year with 190 eager, but confused members who chose LeRoy Foote to be their president; Bill Pye, vice president; Bob Naegele, secretary; Jim Olds, treasurer; and Sally Sevey, historian. The class's tasks were relatively few, the most important being that of adapting to the new situation. This was followed in the spring by the sponsorship of the freshman canteen and a rash of homeroom candy sales. Through the effort involved in the two latter activities, the class was able to start its junior year with a seed in its treasury. After selecting Jim Olds, president; Ron Johnson, vice president; Pauline Matson, secretary; Bill Pye, treasurer; and Judy McGuire, historian in its junior year, the class was immediately faced with the awesome task of raising enough money to finance the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet. The class set an all-time record for the magazine sales by selling $4,700 worth of magazine subscriptions. Ron Johnsen won the class award as top salesman. The class play, which also drew a record attendance, was a comedy in thre.t acts entitled “You Can't Kiss Caroline. Sandy Peterson and Jerry Hansen held the leading roles. A precedent was set when the class decided to hold the prom in the school gym, which was decorated in a Hawaiian theme, “Evening in Waikiki.” The formal dance was followed by four open houses and picnics the next day. At the end of the year, the class chose Karen Olson and Karen Hilstad. AI Tilton and Bob Naegele as representatives to Girls and Boys state. Karen Hilstad and A1 Tilton were selected by the American Field Service to be summer foreign exchange students in Europe; Karen stayed with a family in Sweden, and A1 stayed with a family in Paris. This year Michael Camus was the A.F.S. student from Paris who remained here for a year, going to school, and becoming a part of the community. The Excelsior Rotary club selected Ruth Anderson and Jim Olds to attend the Junior United Nations in Winnipeg, Canada, and Judy Nelson was selected for the D.A.R. Award. Homecoming was the biggest class activity in the fall of the year for the seniors, now totaling 160. Queen Judy Nelson reigned over the activities with her attendants Pauline Matson. Betty Joswick, Judy McGuire, and Barb Towler. The general theme “Peel the Orange” was carried out in the bonfire and parade and “Blue Moon” was the theme of the dance. Homecoming was a wonderful success although we didn’t quite “Peel the Orange.” After the senior class play, all that was left for the seniors to present was class night, which came right before baccalaureate and commencement. 16 SENIORS Judith Abbott Judith Aldritt Susan Alcxandor Virginia Anderson Ruth Anderson Williom Anderson Dexter Bacon Stowe Badenoch David Bauman Mary Beise High school now is just a memory SENIORS Carol Burko Laurence Caldwell Michael Camus John Carlson Neil Carlson Mary Chowen Robert Cone George Cranbrook Susan Crozior Lawrence Dahl Our future goals beckon us . . .

JUNIORS September fourth greeted the juniors of Minnetonka High with a full year’s activities, leading up to the Junior-Senior prom. The class entrusted the leadership of these activities to president, Ken Hampton; vice-president, Mike Jerabeck; secretary, John Knowlton; treasurer. Sharon Hennek; and historian, Sue Swanson. The first money raising project that confronted the class was the magazine subscription sales. To reach the goal of five thousand dollars, the juniors decided on a twenty-eight dollar sales limit for each student. Judy Lokken was chosen to head the drive. For his achievement of top sales. Bill Ackerman received a clock radio. Runners-up Sue Swenson, Barb Morlan, Jon Seirup, and John Knowlton were awarded with gifts which they selected. To promote the selling drive, money prizes were given every day to juniors who had sold ten dollars worth. The money was collected in the history classes and Mr. Duff's fifth hour received a party as their reward for first place. Although they did not quite reach their goal on the sales, they started preparing for the class play, a three-act comedy. “The Divine Flora’’ was produced under the direction of Mr. Ernest DeSantis. Bonnie Elmblad. Tom Kollmeycr. David Taylor, Connie Bergee. and Orrin Thompson took the leading roles. Committees headed by Claria Lehmeyer, Shelley Ostlund, and Dave Martin supported this cast and the junior class play proved entertaining and added another credit to the junior class. Planning the Junior-Senior prom and banquet began in December. The people chosen as heads of the committees were: Bill Ackermann and Karen Tisdel, decorations: Dave Robinson, equipment; Connie Bergee, invitations; Mary Wagner, program: and Norma Waneck and Tom Kollmeyer, hospitality. May ninth was the date of the banquet; then May tenth was the long anticipated Prom. 'Hie theme was Gaiete Parisienne. This Prom will long be remembered by the junior class as the climax to a year of hard work and a lot of fun. 28 Bill Ackerman Peter Adomeit Cynthia Ahlers Frances Allenburg Sandra Ames Richard Anderson Robert Anding Howard Apple Richard Arbogast Toni Armstrong Barbara Azarski Edward Bauman Thomas Bergstrom Connio Bergee Thomas Bcstler Rosemary Blackowiak Scott Boice Derwin Brown Bruce Bunting Carol Carmichael Mary Lou Carney James Clawson Mary Colby John Cranbrook Dennis Crowe David Crozier Walter Cutler Marna Daily Carol DeGrote Bill Demo Janet Donovan Ronald Duenow Bonnie Elmblad Sharon Ernst Gordon Ess Gerald Fahlstrom Robert Feldman Roy Finden Lynn Frantz Ronald Frozee Roberta Frederickson Carol Fries James Fronius Terry Froyd Phil Garaghty Larry Gardner Sharon Gerber James Gilbert 29 rs' lonne Gobel Annabella Gonzalez Gary Gustafson Sharalyn Habeck Ken Hampton Bonnie Hansen Sharalyn Hanson Don Hanus Tom Hardin Ralph Hatch Carol Hovlik Guy Hager Barbara Heimerl Sharon Hennck Helen Hono Craig Hermann Jean Hermann Fred Herzog Norman Holcomb Bob Holden Dale Holmgren Mary Jo Huber Doan Jacobsen Mike Jerabek Donald Johnson Janet Johnson Sharon Johnson Shirley Johnson Sharon Kelly Jon Kleinheksel John Knowlton Elaine Koch LcRoy Koohnon Tom Kollmeyer Judy Langva Larry Larson Claria Lchmeyer Shirley Libor Judy Lokken Gerald Lund Fronk MacFarlane Miko Maher Dave Martin Sharon McClees Susan McCrea Pat McKenzie Linda Mclony John Morrian 30 Sharon Miller Charles Mohan Paul Mohlin Barbara Morion Carl Morse Diana Nelson Joan Nolson Marilyn Nelson Robert Nelson Anne Neumann Lee Newcomb Jack Oberg Jean Oberg James Olson Michelle Ostlund Pat Packer Peggy Parks Kathy Paselk Barbara Paulson John Peterson Richard Platt James Potter Douglas Ramstad Lcland Rank Elizabeth Raymer Ronald Reiland David Robinson Georgia Rodum Carl Rovainon Gail Runge Dec Sampson Karen Sather Glen Souer Richard Schmidt Roger Schmidt Roger Schneider Craig Scholle Pat Schwartz Jon Scirup Roger Shay Joan Shied Kay Sievers Douglas Sjoquist Jim Smith Ann Sorensen Jeanette Spandel Tom Staska Jill Steinkamp 31 Rachel Stevens Arlene Stewart James Stewart Virginia Sullivan John Swanson Susan Swanson Susan Swenson David Taylor Violet Terlindon Robert Thiede Orrin Thompson Richord Thompson Karen Tisdcl Bonnie Totushok John Tremann Don Twiford Mary Lynn Twiford Ronald Vieths Mary Wagner Norma Wanek Judy Ware Ray Wendlandt Ann Whowell Aria Wistrand Janet Wolfe Roger Wright Delores Matson THOSE NOT PICTURED Karen Anderson Jay Baker Charles Goldenman Dean Hormanson Jerry Kristenson Jean Scheid The junior class discusses how to spend their deficit finances.

SOPHOMORES This year found 200 sophomores at Minnetonka wondering what everything was all about as they stood off in the corners of the school consulting their schedules on where they should be at what time. After a couple of weeks they settled into the routine of things here at Tonka. They started the ball rolling by electing their class officers: Alan Tollefson, president; Pat Nocton, vice president; Judy Russell, secretary; Jerry Alstead, treasurer; and Mary Jo Carlson, historian. The following were chosen to help lead their fellow classmates through the student council: David Hanson, Karen Soderholm, Jim Lundquist, Nancy Palm, Loreli Morse, Judy Tilton, and Vernon Carlson. Halfway through the year the student body chose the “B” squad cheerleaders. Those leading the cheers were: Pat Nocton, Jean Kingsrud, Barb Sundene, Judy Russell, Judy McCrae, and Mary Jo Carlson. The sophomores soon became active in the club and activity life of school after getting to know the school and faculty. They joined the various activities such as pep club, drama club. Y-Teens and Hi-Y, the publications and the athletic activities. They even managed to place officers on the club cabinets. The boys went all out for sports with Harry Gousha and Dave Larson winning their letters in football, and Bill Blackowiak. Dean Haley, Dave Larson, Jim Lundquist and Gary Peterson showing a lot of action on the “B” squad basketball team. The sophomores took a big part in skits at school programs and pep fests and they loyally supported the teams at both home and away games. Planning ahead to when they would be juniors faced with the project of planning Prom, the class decided on money raising projects in order to have a small nest egg in their treasury for next year. At the end of the year, the sophomores were in charge of the last canteen of the year, which welcomed next year’s incoming sophomores. 33 Chrystal Allen Karen Allen Jerry Alstead Jean Andorjon Dave Arbogast Janice Arnold Harold Arntz Marilyn Asp June Balderston Mary Banker Mary Ann Beardsley Karon Beebe Sandy Beohrle Bill Blackowiak Frances Blair Keith Blatzhoim Elaine Blombcrg Karon Blomberg Jean Bolton Lynn Bolton Linda Boughton Gordon Bowers Dave Brackett Judy Branch Carolyn Bratberg Kathy Bruce Nancy Broste Sandra Bunting Bob Burke Mary Jo Carlson Dick Carlson Roger Carlson Vernon Carlson Ann Christ Jerry Clark Joff Cochrane Peter Cone Mary Cordell Bill Cravens Sharon Cunningham Janico Dahmen Ken Dalbcc Joe DcGuiso Bob Delaney Dave Deters Gerald Dimon Charles Dixon Louis DuCharme 34 Carole Dyer Paul Eklund Sharon Ess Marge Ferguson Douglas Flllbrandt Michael Fitzimons Robert Force Patricia Foty Shirley French Suo Fricde Dennis Frisch Tom Gabbert Jim Gager Duwanc Gebhard Roberta Gern Marguorito Gibb Harry Gousha Judy Grabow Henry Graef Sandy Guth Linda Haakinson Tom Hafner Dean Haley Kathryn Hallin Karen Halverson Sue Handy John Hanily Chuck Hanner David Hanson Judy Haselhuhn Peto Hondy Kathleen Henke Elsie Hlavacek Leon Hudlow David Hughes Ronnie Hughes Barbara Hulsc Dean Hustad Ingrid Jacobson Patricia Jakubec Jano Jerzierski Burton Johnson Cal Johnson Carl Johnson Carole Johnson Paul Johnson Richard Johnson Roger Johnson 35 David Johnston Richard Johnston Bruce Johnstone Kathy Kasper Keith Kelley Jacklyn Kimmel Jean Kingsrud Todd Knutson Ronnie Knutson Peter Koupal Sue Kremor Nancy lallak David Larson John Lattorner Sharon Lavis Rose Mary Lee Alida Lehmoyer Alice Jean Leigh David Leighton Sandy Lent Linda Lillie Phyllis Lovrien James Lundquist Mary Mackey James Mahonoy Karen Mairson Diano McClure Bruce McLeod Judy McRae Marlene Mcllingen Craig Miller James Moore Richard Mooro Loreli Morse Jerry Nelson Joyce Nelson Kenneth Nelson Russel Nelson Arlynne Nesheim David Neutgens Tamara Niomeyer Pat Nocton Dolores Nustad Nancy Nylondcr Eleanor Oare Roger Olson Gary Ophaug Nancy Palm 36 Peter Palm Helen Pederson Janet Pedersen Charles Perisian Gary Peterson Mary Peterson Darleen Plttsley Susan Pye Robert Ranstad Carl Randall Beverly Raymer James Raymond Diana Rife James Rippetoe Gloria Ristow Judy Robinson Richard Robinson Judy Russell Jo Ann Robert Ryan Sackrison Robert Sathre Janice Schmid Charles Schmidt Theresa Schmidt Joanne Schutrop Martha Setnom Ronnie Sharp Ann Shaughnessy Carole Simcox Kay Simons Lynn Smith Karen Soderholm Nancy Soley Owen Spannaus Ronald Stanehfield Roland Stanehfield Mary Stark Terry Steinkamp Rolland Stemland Pot Sterny Sandra Stevenson Ed Sullivan Barbara Sundone James Sutton Ronaele Swedlund John Tendall DuWayne Terlinden Gloria Terlinden 37 Joyce Thompson Aria Thorkelson Judy Tilton Sara Timmers Alon Tollefson Lee Tomlinson Joel Totushek Dick Towler James Tromann Karon Triden Diane Truman Jerelien Uptagrafft Margo Uran Gary Vik Michael Walker Richard Walker Lois Wang Daryl Wedan Gail Welck Gregg Westigard Judy Wilds Nancy Williams David Wilson Janet Wimmor John Winter Robert Wolter Bill Wyman Carl Zieman Doreen Zieman Lloyd Zimmermann NOT PICTURED Gale Brauer Barbara Carney Sheila Drenth David Hage Paul LeFeore Gaile Libor Jacquclino Moore Janet Newquist Gerald Olson Virginia Peterson Jim Stanck Robert Wiost Notice the sparkling eyes and animated expressions of these sophomores at 8:05 Monday morning. 38 ’ li t i y i j vX $ $A- M Ft ' 7PnQ ' x ic y (y A sr r t T j ® V -s £ r n WWw -firT vtiJ' f v , j r _ A ,jf Minnetonka students have kept a high academic standard for their school and still have participated extensively in clubs and organizations at the same time. Through these activities we have learned to accept responsibilities, cultivate our interests, and have fun and recreation at the same time. One of the reasons that our school has accomplished so much has been the enthusiasm of the students in the various organizations. Bottom Row: B. Joswick, S. Kelley, J. Bolton, J. Kimmel, M.

CHORUS This year was another busy one for the 1. H. S. chorus. Under the direction of Mr. Raymond Minkler, the chorus sang for a P.T.A. program and the school Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter programs. As in past years, the chorus presented an afternoon Christmas concert, which included many selections from the Messiah, and many favorite Christmas carols. As the year rolled on, we found the chorus giving their annual carnival on March 30, to produce money for the year’s expenses. Immediately following this event, came their tour, which took them to Armstrong and Swea City. Iowa, where they performed for each of these schools. In addition to this, they presented an operetta on May 2, and also participated in the Lake Conference vocal contest in the spring. To complete the year, the chorus appeared at the baccalaureate and commencement exercises. Each year the chorus features two ensemble groups: the Girls’ Triple Trio, and the Boys’ Octette. The triple trio appeared at a Civic and Commerce meeting in early January, and both groups also performed with the chorus in their concerts throughout the year, and also appeared during their spring tour.

BAND The band started out the year with a nest egg of $500, which the Junior Chamber of Commerce gave them for playing at the Excelsior Progress Celebration. The band council members: Dan Graham. Jim Olds. Judy Lokken, Mike Jerabek, and Paul Johnson, investigated the possibilities of where they could invest the money. They finally decided on buying a tape recorder, which has proven especially valuable in analyzing concerts and correcting mistakes during rehearsals. The band played two types of music. In the fall drum major Marilyn Olson took the band through half-time shows at football games and led them in parades. The rest of the year, the band concentrated on concert music. Kay Simons was the student director who led them during basketball games and pepfests. Bottom Row: J. Lokken, P. Sterny, J. Herrmon, A. Neumann, A. Wistrand, K. Mairson, K. Soderholm, K. Henke.

Minnetonka's student government, was comprised of representatives from each homeroom and major organization. They met at least once a month, unless the need arose for more meetings. The school’s problems were discussed and brought back to the homerooms to get the student’s opinions. One major discussion of the council was whether the school should adopt a dress code or not. Student council officers were George Grodahl, president; Jim Olson, vice president; Lutecia Gozalez, secretary; Ralph Niel. treasurer; and Loreli Morse, historian. Miss Mo was the faculty advisor. The winter formal called “Moonlight in Vermont” was sponsored by the council on December 21. Besides the formal the council sponsored a money drive for the school in Finland which our high school supports. They also supported the polio drive, of which one method of raising funds was a faculty-student basketball game. The four-way test of the Rotary International was circulated by members to promote good character among all students. The Save the Children Federation clothing drive was a major project of the council and was a source of competition and rivalry among homerooms to see who would win the prize of a traveling stuffed doll for giving the most pounds of clothes. The clothing that was received was sent to Arkansas and other states throughout the nation. The student council strived to maintain good student-faculty relationships, and to maintain good conduct in the lunchroom and at games, and as representatives of the student body, they represented views of students and tried to carry out improvements for them.

That night the first French Club meeting was held. The membership totaled about fif'.N students of French I and French II classes, plus those who a I read) had completed two years of French. The first meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Fick. the club’s advisor. At this meeting the organization of the club was determined and this year's officers were elected. They were: Hon Johnsen. president; Lutecia Gonzalez, vice president; Mike Camus, treasurer; and Barb Morlan, secretary Program and food committee chairmen were Mike Maher and Karen Hilstad. A constitution committee under the chairmanship of Judie Abbott devised the constitution for the new club. Meetings were held in the various members' homes once a month. The purpose of “La Clube Francais” was to encourage the speaking of French and to learn more about the people and customs of France. Throughout the year interesting programs were planned such as: a luncheon, a Christmas party, a Mardi Gras, movies and slides from France, and talks by Mike Camus, our French foreign exchange student. One of the meetings was a surprise birthday party for Mike. Here the French club members let their advisoj, Mrs. Fick. wash the dishes after a meeting at one of the members’ homes.

Hi-Y and Y-Teens when next year’s officers were installed. They finished the year with Senior Farewell and an overnight at Lyman Lodge. Elvin Tilton and Ron Johnsen represented the Hi-Y as all-school presidents. There were three clubs: Phi Omicron Beta, which was newly organized this year, the Kappa Club and the Alpha Chi Beta club. For one of their money making projects the boys sold Christmas trees for the YMCA. As one of their projects the clubs studied different religions including Jewish and Protestant faiths. They had speakers of different faiths and on one occasion the boys visited a Jewish synagogue in Minneapolis. At other meetings they had movies and discussions on boy-girl relationships. Hi-Y, the boys’ club, and Y-Teens. the girls’ club, are affiliated with the YMCA and the YWCA. The two clubs worked together in planning Sno-Day, with the boys taking over the outdoor sports and the girls taking care of indoor games and movies, and preparing the dinner. Pat Schwartz was president of the Y-Teens Blue Triangle, and Miss Thorsen was the advisor. The main money making project of the year was selling syrup and jelly at Christmas time. The Y-Teens turned French for a day while taking over the country of France at the International Fair held at the YWCA in Minneapolis. At their weekly meetings they had talks on hair styling and sororities, and in the spring a mother-daughter tea was held Busy Y-Teenere in the kitchen after Sno- lay.

BREEZES The monthly student publication of Minnetonka High is the “Minnetonka Breezes. This year the Breezes were headed by editor, Jim Olds. Staff editors were Al Tilton, first page; Judie Abbott, second page; Barit Blesi. third page; and Tom Kollmeyer and Duane Johnson, sports page. Miss Phelan and Mr. Duff, the faculty advisors, made certain that deadlines were made and that advertising was in on time. There were nine issues of the Breezes this year, including a cub edition in which the 1958 staff took over the head positions, and a senior edition, which carried the class will and prophecy. In order to publish the Breezes, staff members sold concessions during football games and student subscriptions for the Breezes. Local firms supported the paper by advertising in it. To help publication expenses the “Breezes Bombshell” was put on after one of the football games. The four pages of the Breezes allow coverage of sports, recent school events and various feature writing. Editorials to strengthen school spirit and to promote good sportsmanship were also included. VOYAGEUR Long hours in the darkroom and many hours of writing and making layouts finally were completed with the publication of the Voyageur. In the fall, the first task the staff had to accomplish was financing the annual by asking sponsors for donations and selling subscriptions to the student body. The other jobs the annual undertook to raise money were sponsoring two canteens, “The Beachcombers Party” and “Out Of This World,” with Bernie the Beachcomber and his gang present at the first one, and little Martians and their spaceships present at the second one. The staff also raised money by-having the concessions at two basketball games. With Mr. Grimes as advisor and Karen Hilstad as editor, the staff began to write copy identify and caption pictures, and make layouts for the deadlines. A photographer was present at all school functions to provide pictures and Deloris Matson worked on the cover design and the art work of the book. During the first part of April the yearbook was completed, and the staff members anxiously awaited their finished product. Janet Russell practices her keyboard on yearbook copy. Bottom Row: P.

THESPIANS Thespians is the national honor society for high school students. Minnetonka’s chapter has been organized for two years and is advised by Miss Janice Engleson. The Thespians this year tried something new by presenting two serious dramas for the student body. These two plays, “The Valiant” and “Sorry. Wrong Number” provided an opportunity for the students to participate in the mechanics of producing a play. “The Valiant” was also performed in the District 18 Speech Festival. Students in Thespians earned points by participating in plays, by student directing, or by working on crews or committees essential to a play’s production. Meetings were held every other week at which the members discussed the various aspects of the theater. Jerry Hanson was president of the group. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETIES Bottom Row: H. Gousho, H.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Minnetonka’s chapter of the National Honor Society, the Galpin Burton chapter, elected twenty-six new members from the junior and senior classes this year. A total of fifteen per cent of the graduating seniors have been elected to the society by the faculty and present society members. Five per cent of these were chosen in their junior year. A student must have had a “B” average and must have shown exceptional character, service, scholarship and leadership. Each year the members of the society sponsor a reunion for the graduate members. This reunion was held during Christmas vacation and was attended by most of the graduates who were home for the holidays. A formal initiation was held in the spring for the new members. QUILL AND SCROLL Quill and Scroll is a national journalistic honor society for outstanding high school journalists. To qualify for the society a student must be in the upper one-third of the junior or senior class and must have done outstanding work in either the Voyageur or the Breezes. The advisors of the publications, Miss Phelan of the Breezes and Mr. Grimes of the Voyageur, chose the students on the basis of the work they had done. This work may have been in the various fields of journalism such as editing, art work, writing, advertising, or business management. Quill and Scroll is the highest attainment a high school student can earn for his journalistic work. First Row: G. Shogren, D. Matson, B. Morion, J. Abbott, S. Sevey, J. Russell, M. Camus.

JUNIOR CLASS PLAY The junior class was successful when it presented “The Divine Flora.” The cast of twenty-six was headed by Bonnie Elmblad as Flora, Tom Kollmeyer as Handy, and Dave Taylor as Buzz. Orrin Thompson and Connie Bergee played Randy's parents. Flora was a rather unkempt girl who was showered with the attentions of Randy and Buzz, who aspired to hold jobs in her father's firm. This attention the boys gave her had a lasting effect, however, for through their attention and the subtle help from her father. Flora became a changed girl. As a result of their “publicity campaign,” Flora was linked romantically with a handsome Texan band leader, and their efforts to clear themselves of this scandal made the play hilarious. It ended on a note of laughter when Buzz and Randy found themselves with the job of transforming into glamour girls the two daughters of a business partner of Flora's father. “The Divine Flora was not unlike other plays in the fact that it had its share of telephones not ringing and other props not working at the right time. But no mistakes were visible to the audience, which unanimously agreed the play was a great success for the junior class. Mr. DeSantis, the director, did a fine job of working with such a large cast. “The Divine Flora'' was chosen for presentation mainly because it included so many cast members. Other members of the class not in the play made up the various committees which were essential to its presentation. First Row: S. Picper, L. Gonzalez, S. Peterson, G. Peterson, V. Johnson.

This family did anything they wanted to do. and the members of the senior class play cast who portrayed the Sycamores enjoyed very much those parts. “You Can‘t Take It With You was a three-act comedy by Moss Hart and George Kaufman. Grandfather Sycamore, who was played by Jerry Hanson, had quit Wall Street suddenly thirty-five years ago, and now just collected snakes and went to zoos and commencements. His daughter Penny, played by Judie Abbott, wrote plays in order to make use of the typewriter which had been delivered to the house eight years before by mistake. Her daughter, in turn, aspired to be a ballet dancer, and although she was terrible, she continued to take lessons from a temperamental Russian, played by Dave Berg. The other Sycamore daughter. Alice, played by Karen Hilstad. was the only normal person in the family. She was in love with Tony Kirby (Bruce Ferrin l, who came from a very wealthy and socially prominent family. The differences in the families were too much for the young couple, especially when the Kirbys came to the Sycamore bouse for dinner by mistake a day early, finding dancing, painting, and dart throwing going on in full force. To make it worse, Mr. Kirby, played by Bob Nae- Sally Sevey meditates while other members check their roles. gele, was thrown on the floor by the Russian, and everyone was arrested for manufacturing fireworks without a license, the Kirbys included. All the fireworks blew up and everyone spent the night in jail. The next day Alice was ready to leave home. At the last minute, Mr. Kirby realized what he was missing in life, what the Sycamores had that he lacked, and thus Alice and Tony were reunited, and the play ended on a happy note for everyone. 55 Bottom Row: L Lillie, Min Engleson, E.

DRAMA CLUB Jerry Hanson plays the lead in the Thanksgiving play. The two make-up artists working on Connie Bergee are Karen Hilstad and Janet Russell. Members of the drama club got experience in many phases of drama. Among these were acting, directing, and make-up. The drama club presented the school Christmas program with the help of the language classes. Members who worked in the presentations of the club and who accumulated enough points were eligible to join “Thespians,” the national dramatic honor society. This year, drama club won first prize for their Homecoming float. The club was headed by Judie Abbott. Other officers were Dan Graham, Barb Morlan, Jerry Hanson, and Elaine Blomberg. Faculty advisors were Miss Huebner. Miss Nelson, Miss Engleson, and Mr. Raymond. Bottom Row: J. Merriom, Mr. Raymond. Second Row: N: Sutton, C. Rovainen, J. Moyle, T. Kollmeyer. DEBATE The six members of Minnetonka’s debate team entered their second year with a controversial problem familiar to everyone. This formal argument was presented in the form of a resolution: Resolved, that the Federal government should sustain the prices of major agricultural products at not less than 90' r of parity. The two teams, negative and affirmative, did equally well this year, and in addition to the more formal topics they presented debates of general interest. including the teen-age dress code. Some of their major debates were the state meet, and three at Augsburg, Macalester, and Hopkins. F. T. A. Future Teachers of America is a national organization that is organized to further the teaching profession among high school students. At Minnetonka the chapter was headed by president Virginia Anderson. The other officers were Vice President. Claria Leh-meyer: Secretary, Caryl Robbins; Historian, Sherrie Pieper; Librarian, Mary LynnTwiford; and Treasurer, Darlene Olson. Student teaching in the first grades and serving as guides on ‘‘Back to School” night for the P.T.A. were two of the activities of the club.

SCIENCE CLUB This year under the leadership of President Joe Movie; Vice President Carl Kovainen: and Treasurer Sharalyn Hanson, the Science club kept active with projects, experiments, and trips. The projects and field trips were chosen to help in increasing knowledge and interest in science. The projects, which were developed both individually and j the group, were worked on with the idea of taking them to the Science Pair held at Macalestcr College in Minneapolis. Some of these projects included a display on rocket ships and a barometer made of bottles and colored water. During the first semester, tin club visited the Minneapolis Honeywell Company, and during the second semester their major trip was to tin; Minneapolis Mixing and Manufacturing Company. ASSISTANT LIBRARIANS This year Miss Pngleson has been helped in the library by twenty-two assistants. Their jobs included making up fine lists and collecting fines, stamping new magazines as they came in, filing the old magazines in the magazine room, checking in the hooks and shelving them, checking out hooks to students, and signing student passes. The assistant librarians had to he familiar with the Dewey Decimal system and the location of the hooks in the library.

PEP CLUB 7 JjrJA VH The pep club was formed so that there would he an organized cheering group at the games. Members were expected to attend all games, help with skits and canteens, and help develop good school spirit and pep. The cheerleaders met with the club to teach them any new cheers they had. so thaUthe club could lead the student body in cheering. They were also expected to display good sportsmanship at all times. Besides attending all football and basketball games, the girls supported the other athletic events also. In order to identify themselves, they wore blue and white beanies. Minnetonka's pep club was headed this year by president Pauline Matson. Other officers included vice president, Sandy Peterson; secretary. Sue.Swanson; and treasurer. Mary Ann Kasper. Two canteens put on by the club were 'Honky Tonk” and “Let’s Hip It Up.” They also performed skits at most of the pep fests throughout the year. Bottom Row: J. Tilton, A. Lehmeyer, R. Kroc, M.

SKI CLUB The slopes around Minnetonka this year did not have quite enough snow for skiing, but fortunately Tonka ski enthusiasts found that the ski lodges just over the Wisconsin border filled the bill perfectly. There was much excitement around school whenever the ski club planned a trip, for sometimes there were as many as forty participating. Many of the students went on weekend trips, and during the three day weekend over Washington's Birthday, about a dozen traveled to Telemark for a last fling at the slopes before the March thaw came. Ski club this year was headed by Gary Reed, with Mr. Duff as advisor. Making la� i minute arrangements for their trip arc (foreground J. Olds, A. Tollefson. S. Sevey, V Palm, Reed, (background) N.

STAGE CREW Whenever there was a play or a concert being performed we could he sure that the members of the stage crew were somewhere behind the scenes. These boys made it possible for the seniors and juniors to put on their class plays and also for the band and chorus to perform their concerts. They were in charge of props, lighting, and pulling the curtains at the right time. They gave their time not only at school performances, but at evening programs and Civic Music as well. PROJECTIONISTS All of the movies that were shown us at assemblies. classes and Sno-day, were shown by the boys who were projectionists. They devoted their study halls and time after school to work on the projectors. Besides being such a help to the school with their services, they were able to gain much experience for themselves with this work. Kneeling: J. Winter, N. Carlton. Standing: D. Robinton, D. Sjoquitt.

The Skippers treated their fans to many exciting thrills; especially in their comeback win over Edina and the hard fight they gave St. Louis Park in our Homecoming game. In the Edina game, the blue and white Skippers were trailing the Hornets 7 to 18. hut in an exciting fourth quarter, our team made several steady marches down the field and smashed the Hornets with a final score of 33 to 26. It’s hard to single out any one or two players pf tire team, hut certainly credit should he given to co-captains Boh Naegele and George Grodahl on their outstanding playing. Their accomplishments did not pass by unnoticed, for both were placed on the All-Lake Conference defensive football team. Boh was given the honor of being selected the most valuable player not only of our team but also of the Lake Conference; he also won a position on the All-State defensive team.

This year's basketball team, led by captain Louie Hesse, completed the season with a record of eight wins and six defeats, to end up in a tic for fourth place with Mound. Starting the season off in the right way. the Skippers ‘ defeated their first five opponents before bowing to Wayzata for their first loss. The beginning game of the year found Minnetonka defeating the Austin Packers. Following up their good performance, the Skippers in rapid succession defeated Hopkins, Mound, Robbinsdale. and Richfield. After a two-week Christmas vacation, the Skippers fell victim to the hard-fighting Wayzata team. Their next opponent, St. Louis Park, was able through superior height and rebounding to hand Tonka their second loss. They then closed the first round of Lake Conference play by beating the Edina Hornets. The second round of play brought to Minnetonka a series of defeats, yet these gantfes were exceptional!) well-played and were lost by very narrow margins. The Skippers lost then to Hopkins, whom they had previously beaten and also lost to Mound by “sudden death” after two overtimes of play. They then rebounded back to beat Robbinsdale and Richfield, and prepared to take on Wayzata and Park again. To put a climax to an exciting and memorable game, the team defeated Edina and then played hosts to their fathers for Dads' Night.

Say “Uncle.” It’s hurting U- High more than it’s hurting us. WRESTLING The wrestling team was able to surpass the standing they made last 'year, and received more support and attendance from the student body than they have in previous years. I nder the direction of coach Andrus, the team steadily improved and gained for itself more importance in the athletic program. This year two wrestlers, juniors Doug Rainstad and Dan Mohlin, remained undefeated throughout the season and wrestled in the state tournament. Doug was rated as one of the top wrestlers in the state. The wrestlers participated in various matches with schools not only in our conference but with schools from the Minneapolis area as well. In the middle of February, Tonka played host to over a hundred matches of the sub-regional tournament. R. Nacgolo, L. Foote, J. Tremann, C. Scholle, G. Peterson, J. Tremonn, D. Leighton, 8.

They put much work into getting the hockey rink in shape: they had to replace posts and move different sections besides spending long nights carefully flooding it. One very needed addition to the rink this year was floodlights, thus enabling the team to practice longer and to have night games. New uniforms were also purchased for the A squad, and the B squad acquired the old uniforms. Most of the games were held in at the Minneapolis Arena. Ten games were played with schools not in the Lake Conference. The A squad finished sixth in the conference with a nine won, nine lost, and four tied record. The B squad did much better with eleven wins and three losses. Three members of the team won special recognition and were either placed or received honorable mention on the conference All-Star team for their outstanding playing. Thirteen boys lettered in this sport: the senior iettermcn were Le Boy Foote, Gary Peterson, Bob Cone, Larrv Watts. Bob Xaegele and Gregg Schramm. Co-captains for the team were Bob Xaegele and Le Roy Foote. Bob Naegelc gets some help from his buddies. Trcmann scores a goal for Tonka during a game with the Hopkins Warriors.

Pat Wilson was rated among the top six milers in the state, for he had won fifty points during the season. Wilson and Berg both qualified for the regionals in the mile run, but Pat was not able to compete. Bill took third place in this meet. Nine of the fifteen letter winners and thirty-five of the forty-seven boys out for track returned this year. Some of the regulars this year were Mike jerabek, pole vault; Bill Berg, mile: Jim Olson and John Tremann, 880; and Chuck Mohan in the dashes. Meets Minnetonka participated in this year were: three triangular meets. St. John’s Invitational, Mound Relays, Faribault Falcon Relays, District Meet. Lake Conference Meet, and the regional meets for those who qualified. Mike Jerabek goes up and over during an Edina track meet held at night.

The overall record was slightly under .500 for fourteen games. One of the games of the season was with the inmates of Stillwater prison, whom we defeated. Outstanding players were Ron Poeschel and Ron Quast. who were elected to the all-conference team. Players who returned this year were George Grodahl. Bob Thiede, Dave Schroeder. Mike Fowler, Ed Zembrycki, Ron Quast. and Fred Fink.

The tennis squad started out this year’s season with six returning lettermen: four seniors, and one junior and one sophomore. Several freshmen practiced daily with the team, but did not participate in the matches and were ineligible to earn a letter. The team started practicing on the three courts at school late in March; their first match was on April 28. against Mound. They not only played other Lake Conference teams, but teams in the Valley-Con ference as well. Mr. DeSantis took over this year the job of coaching the boys. Working out ore: J. Hanson, J. Olson, J. O'Connell, B. Berg, J. Blodgett. CROSS COUNTRY The season for cross country lasted from the first week in September to the middle of November. The team members worked out by running the 1.8 mile course over fields, through woods, and sometimes even through streams. This year was the first cross country season in which Tonka had a complete team competing against other schools. There were nine boys out for the sport, but at meets the team could consist of only seven runners. Tonka participated in four meets; the first two were against Robbinsdale and the last two were the district and regional meets which were held at Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis. Tonka placed third in the district meet. This year Bill Berg broke the school record by finishing with a 9:39 race. 76 INTRA-MURALS “Intramurals today: Tn-the-Buckets' versus ‘'Ihe Penguins ” This really isn't as silly as it sounds. These were only two of the names given to the boys' intramural teams. Even though the boys weren’t on a varsity squad, they had the chance to enjoy team play and the sportsmanship of interscholastic competition. The different sports offered were: basketball, volleyball, touch football, and softball. Each sport ended the season with a tournament to find the champion. Intramurals has been a lot of fun for the boys, who have created much school interest in their games with such lopsided tournament basketball scores as 56 to 7 and 59 to 11.

They practiced two hours every day. and during the school year they could be found on Wednesdays still practicing long after all the busses had left. In the fall of the year, the cheerleaders sponsored the Turkey-Trot canteen, with disk jockey Jim Rams- berg of the new WDGY playing records and giving them away. The proceeds from this canteen helped to buy new uniforms for the squad. The cheerleaders were present at all games, including hockey games at Williams Arena. This year, our squad was lucky to have the addition of two boys, Dave Schroeder and Bill Berg. B-squad cheerleaders leading the crowd at a Tonka l asketball game. Left to right: J. McRae. J.

During the first part of the year the girls divided into two teams and played soccer and volleyball. After Christmas they started playing basketball, which was their most popular sport. In the spring the girls went outside to enjoy softball, tennis and archery. This year the group had the same point system that they always have had; each girl received two points everytime she put in an hour of activities. At the end of her senior year, if she earned seven hundred and fifty points, she received a Girls Athletic letter. So far there have been seven girls who have received a letter. The sophomores “driving-in” during Tuesday night GAA. 79 The biggest highlights of the year for us have been Homecoming. Sno-Day, and Prom. Who will forget the excitement during the weeks leading up to these events? We see ourselves in class, around school, and at canteens also. This is the way we passed the year, working and having fun at school. QUEEN JUDY NELSON BARBARA TOWLER PAULINE MATSON BETTY JOSWICK JUDY McGUIRE The queen’s float pauses as it circles the football field. Homecoming Festivities Flower girl Beverly Board. The crowd impatiently waited for the ceremony to begin. Finally Queen Judy arrived, preceded by her attendants, and was escorted by the two football captains, George Grodahl and Bob Naegele, to the throne. Little Jimmy Minkler approached the throne with the crown, the two captains placed it on Judy’s head, and the 1956 Homecoming queen was crowned. . This was the climax of much anticipation and excitement throughout Homecoming week. Seniors were very busy planning the parade, gathering wood for the bonfire, selling Homecoming buttons, and planning the pepfest, coronation, aud dance. The slogan for the game against the orange and black St. Louis Park Orioles was “Peel the Orange.v This theme was carried out in the pepfest when the queen was first presented, and also was carried out in many of the floats in the parade that night, which was on the Thursday before the game. That night after the parade, the school assembled to watch the biggest Homecoming bonfire yet seen at Minnetonka. Several hours later, there still were many persons there watching the fire which was now just a mass of burning embers. The next evening Queen Judy presided at the game, and was then crowned before the dance began. The theme of the dance, “Blue Moon.” w-as very evident because of the huge paper mache moon which hung from the center of the ceiling. With the final notes of the last dance, Homecoming ended and became just a memory. 83 of 1956 The first glimpse of the queen! Diane Trick leads the crowd in cheering for the Tonka eleven.

Hi-Y hoys working to remove huge avalanche that descended on the football field just in time for Sno-Day. SNO-DAY And look at the ski tow the boys rigged up for us! As luck would have it, there was no snow for this year's Sno-Day . . . the heavy snow fall came the following Monday. Members of Y-teens and Hi-Y worked hard and were able to produce a very successful Sno-Day anyway. When January 25 arrived, students began arriving early at school carrying besides their hooks, ice skates, brooms, extra clothes, and food for the Y-teens’ supper that evening. The previous day, members of the Hi-Y were fruitlessly and frantically trying to flood the hill by the football field so students could slide on it the next day. Sno-Day officially began when the student body was excused to attend the pepfest and coronation in the auditorium. After the cheerleaders had accidentally knocked the flag pole down, last year’s royalty. Diana Nelson and George Grodahl, crowned Barb Towler and Bruce Ferrin Sno Queen and King of 1957. The rest of the day was filled with activity. There were hilarious broom hockey games that the girls played, regular ice skating, and ping-pong and movies for those less energetic students. Movies of last year’s Sno-Day were also shown, and many students saw themselves suddenly skating, skiing, or walking across the screen. To satisfy the hunger of all the famished and worn out winter enthusiasts, a delicious hot dish supper was served. After everyone had eaten their fill, they went to the gym to watch the Skippers defeat the Edina Hornets. Following the game, soft music and low lights of the soc-hop brought to an end another Minnetonka Sno-Day.

Students were startled at the sight of a big stuffed deer with a broken nose being rolled down the hall by avid mascot enthusiasts. Dennie Grodahl came with his big brother to school wearing his letter sweater just like the other fellows. There also were mascots at school at other times; stray cats and dogs that tender-hearted students had brought in from the cold.

May 4 was the date of the banquet, and following the dinner that evening the guests were entertained by the Dixieland music of Doc Evans and his hand, along with several other fine performers. The next evening was the Prom, with the A1 Noyes band providing the music. The - couples danced among Hawaiian palms and drank Hawaiian punch. The evening was ended with four open houses which were held at the homes of members of the junior and senior class. “An Evening In Waikiki” was the climax of many long months of preparation, but the result of the work produced the highlight of the year, which will be remembered for a long time.
