Ray Christcscn In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue and created the first chapter of American history. The result of this voyage was studied this year by the means of maps, projects and worksheets. Multi-colored maps traced the movement and development of mankind in world history. Various reports given by the class told important events in history. News reports pointed out that we are making history today. Beside senior term papers done in the “soc” classes, the modern problems discussed have given us a look into the future at type problems we shall be called upon to solve in our adult life.

Sophomores reading Caesar, Silas Marner, and Idylls of the King were anything but idle. Folk songs and quotations from Thanatopsis were commonly heard coming from the juniors. The seniors became well acquainted with vocabulary notebooks, original short stories and lines from Macbeth. John Raymond Charles Scderbcrg Margaret Heinen 9 Mildred Nelson t • Arraugh! This sound coming from man began the form of communication known as the languages. As the languages developed, music and art came into existence. Both of these were used in the language department to study foreign languages. Art students have drawn almost ever)' corner in the building and many products of their art have l ecn seen displayed throughout the halls. Many hours of enjoyment have come from both the band and the chorus at concerts and sports activities. Music and art were also found in the commercial rooms. Fine art was displayed in the notebooks of students taking shorthand and transcription. Music helped typing students to develop speed. l.urenc Miller Raymomi Minklcr Inez Thorscn Burton Crimes Francis Miller 10 But these sides must be equal!

Likewise, the higher algebra and chemistry classes spent their time analyzing problems and synthesizing materials. The idea of the third dimension in solid geometry was conveyed through models. In physics, classes surveyed mathematics, heat, and light. Many erasers were used in math and physical science when figures didn't balance.

Shop classes were busy producing useful and decorative articles for their homes while learning skills. The home economics classes also learned home skills of canning, dressmaking, and meal planning.

The secretaries were always willing to write passes, find needed supplies, deposit club funds, or furnish needed information. The janitors were also sought when ladders, brooms, or dust pans were needed for cleaning-up; or when lockers were jammed. Everyone has appreciated the cooks. This appreciation usually grew very intense the hour before lunch when we were the hungriest. John Collins, Dick Knocrza, Elmer Hlavacck. Rudy Kokesh Adeline Koch. Alma Casclius, Irina Johnson.

After the first few weeks of swabbing the deck they elected five mates as supervisors. They were: chief mopper, A1 Tollefson; vice mopper, Pat Nocton; name scribbler, Judy Russell; penny pincher, Jerry Alstead; and log keeper, Mary Jo Carlson. To cheer our athletic swabbies to many victories Barb Sundene, Judy Russell, Mary Jo Carlson, Pat Nocton, Judy McRae, and Jean Kingsrud were chosen. On their second year at sea the second mates, the first to A1 Tollefson, chief; the second to Gerry Dimon, vice chief; the third to Phyllis Lovrien, recording; the fourth to Roger Johnson, purser, and the fifth, Sandy Beehrle, historian. The first storm they encountered was the magazine sale. Directed by Todd Knutson, they made it through safely with $5,000 worth of cargo. This year wasn't all work for the second mates, as they used the second class talent in putting on the play, Jr. Miss. Two stops were made during the trip, one in April and one in May. They were on a little island off Japan. On the first the first mates were royally fed delicious native food by the second mates. The second was for a Midsummer night’s Prom. During their summer’s leave Judy Tilton and A1 Tollefson attended Girl’s and Boy’s State, while Loreli Morse sailed to Denmark as our A.F.S. representative. The swabbies had worked their way up and by the time of their third voyage had become first mates. They were joined by Marylon Matao, the A.F.S. representative from the Philippines. Homecoming, When the Deep Purple Falls was made a big success when the Skippers football team, under the leadership of Jim Tremann, Harry Gousha, made the Deep Purple Fall. This allowed Homecoming Queen Karen Blombcrg and attendants Sharon Cunningham, Jean Kingsrud, Judy McRae, Pat Nocton, Judy Russell, Barb Sundene to reign in splendor. In April and May the first mates were treated to a Prom and Banquet by the second mates. Steering seniors through their last voyage were: Captain, A1 Tollefson; Co-Captain, Roger Johnson; Secretary. Pat Nocton; Treasurer, Chuck Dixon; Historian, Alice Jean Leigh and Student Council Pres. Dave Leighton. 16 Our senior year was one of last firsts and first lasts.

A five direction compass, with North, Historian Carolyn Garwood; South, Treasurer Terry Bryce; East, Secretary Caddy Reily; West, Vice-President Lynn Peterson; and Moon, President Bill Naegele. The first bad weather they hit was the magazine sale, but Bill Tcska saw the direction the compass was pointing and guided his fellow mates. The result was that sales went moonward and almost orbited when $6,000 was obtained. Bill Naegele, Laurel Whitney, Jack Honkey, and Charles Henrickson were the high selling mates. Mr. Sederbcrg’s 6th cabin was high and received a party as a reward for their efforts. In September home room cabins selected their Council members. They were Bill Nubson, Percy Lord, Brad Dyer, Joe Garaghty, Steve Workman, Sue Kendrick, Charles Henrickson, Dotty Bacon, Bryan Stamp, and Diane Luke. It wasn’t long before the second mates were able to help entertain the fellow shipmen on the long voyage. Susan Lehmeyer, Percy Lord, and Caddy Reily were among the first to display their talent by helping to cheer the football team to its most successful season. A little bad weather gave way to the sunlight as the Prom and Bancjuet for the departing mates was a success. Looking ahead we see nothing but clear sailing. 42 •I FIRST ROW: G. Austin. C. Ruche.

The Sophomore Class of ’58-’59 was launched by the arrival of 262 recruits joining the crew of Skippers. They set to work immediately learning the ropes. To insure safe passage and clear sailing they charted their course under Chief, Jim Seamans; Vice-Chief, Sue Johnson; Log Keeper, Kathy Deaton; Purser, Bill Miller; and Recorder, Renee Lc-Tendre. Captain Harry Baker assisted by Miss Heubner, Mr. Lokken, Mr. Christesen, Mr. Anderson, and Miss Hagg served as top brass” during the maiden voyage. During the first few weeks on board the cabins chose the following to represent them on the Student Council: Beverly Johnson, Anne Savage. Richard Walton, Bill Thomas. Sue Cole, Jackie White, Steve Friede, Sandy Solcy, Melvin Pittel, and Diane Schallberg. Anne was also chosen as recorder. A couple of months later B-squad cheerleaders were chosen to cheer our basketball team on to victory. These were: Bunny Nelson, Karen Albrecht, Mariyas Smieja, Gretchcn Schafer, Sue Johnson, and Margaret Bristol. The new recruits didn’t hesitate in joining the ship’s many activities. Soon they were in G.A.A., Y-Teens, Hi-Y, Pep Club and other activities. By the middle of the year the midshipmen were sailing along at a fast clip. They were at the games, pep fests, canteens, and other school functions with the ships mates Near the end of their sail the sophomores, in keeping with tradition, gave a welcoming party and dance for the next years recruits. The purpose was to acquaint them with the S.S. Tonka and its crew. The biggest job the recruits had was decorating for the pre-commencement and commencement of their midshipmen. With the year ended the crew looks back on a successful voyage and another next year. 46 FIRST ROW: M. Blackowiak. D. Boudreau. S. Baird. G. Asp SECOND ROW: S. Bicrlcin. S. Blom. R. Aretz, J.

This was a busy year for Minnetonka's Chorus, under the direction of Mr. Minkler. The first program was given for Thanksgiving. In keeping with tradition, the Chorus sang its annual Christmas Concert on Sunday, December 14. Included in the program were Christmas Carols, parts from the Messiah and in closing, the Choral Benediction. Their annual ojxrretta was given in the spring. The Chorus also participated in the Lake Conference Mass Chorus which sang Handel's Messiah. This year the Chorus had a soloist, Joyce Boyd, soprano, and a group of girls who sang for Homecoming ceremonies. As the year’s finale, the Chorus sang for Pre-Commencement and Commencement. 53 7 e tcuufa i eve • 'Dean, Treaty My years at Tonka sure were fun—meeting all those new kids and getting to know them so well in classes and after school. The classes were even fun: they were sure hard to find at first, though. Setting my schedule up with Mr. Bolmeier helped me to choose my subjects for my sophomore year; English with Silas Marner and various verbs, American history, phy. ed. with its mixed classes, plane geometry with the “improvable — provable” theorems, and study halls. My junior year didn’t seem quite as hectic. School seemed more routine than it had the first year, with fewer new students and teachers. It still presented a challenge, however, when the representatives from the various colleges told us to “keep those grades up!” English didn’t seem quite as difficult; history even seemed interesting, even the maps; chemistry finally made sense; higher algebra seemed to sink in; I could even say a few words in Francois. Finally I reached my last year at Tonka. College loomed much closer; requests for grade transcripts gave us the needed push to study along with our fun. Term papers forged ahead even as we were memorizing lines from Shakespeare and other authors. Trying to draw three dimensional figures on paper for solid geometry classes; the French students spoke the language with increasing fluidity; graduation day came, ending our high school studying. All our time wasn’t spent studying, though. Many hours after school were spent on our extracurricular activities. Rousers, Skippercttes, Hi-Y, Y-Tecns, Breezes, Voyagetir, Thespians, Ski club, FTA, Spanish, French, Latin clubs, Debate—so many to choose from. Many clubs had many restrictions, but still we managed to get into many clubs. By the time we were juniors, we realized that we would have to choose which ones we really wanted to be in. 54 All our fun wasn’t limited to school, though. After many “away” games there were open houses. I'll never forget all the noisy, unorganized fun we had at them. There was always plenty to drink (punch and milk, that is) to celebrate our victories. Records gave the more ambitious ones a chance to dance while the lazier ones just sat and talked and watched TV. 55 omM ec a but hear V°u knocki - can, Kvcr happcn io you?- , , , t tnouy i t e cfear i SCHOOL SONG Go Skippers go. light for victory.

Following the coronation, which officially started the Sno-I)ay activities, were the girl's Rroom Hockey games. While movies in the V.A. Room and games in the gym rounded out the afternoon. The smell of food from the Galley brought everyone to the lunchroom for a dinner prepared by Y-Teens. The Tonka vs. Edina game gave the Skippers another victory. Ending the already successful day was a “Sock Hop” in the gym. 65 TKattf Aou 7Hate . Mary Lou Mateo, letter known as Mary Lou, our foreign exchange student, came to us from Nasugbu, Batangas. near Manila in the Philippines. On arriving in the United States, Mary Lou stopped in San Francisco and then on to Chicago, louring the country on her way. In Chicago she met her foster family, the Milton Bondus’s of Tonkawoodcroft.They then brought her to Minneapolis. At Minnetonka. Mary Lou is taking speech, American History, Social Problems, Humanities, English and Typing. She feels that school is easier here and hopes to return in a few years to attend Radcliff. In her spare time Mary Lou likes to read, especially biographies of famous people. She is also active in Girl Scouts and various school activities. During our our cold winter months, Mary Lou found new fun in ice skating. Even though she leaves us in the spring, she will always remain a true friend to all of us at 'Tonka'. U Z, 7 ° A A.

Formal planning for the Formal?' The council changed lunch room conditions, checked coats at Civic Music Concerts, and formed a student reception committee to meet visitors this year. They also sponsored the “Hobgoblins Hobknob Canteen” at Halloween time and provided a University program on snakes. The semi-formal held on January SO was also sponsored by our Student Council. In order to obtain extra money for an additional exchange student next year the council arranged a student faculty basketball game. Two council members were able to attend the State Student Council Convention at Austin, Minnesota, and brought back many new ideas and suggestions for a more successful council. These and many more experiences helped to make this year's Student Council function as effectively as it did. 72 I.cfi 10 light: Barb Sundcne. Mr. Raymond.

They have gone on other various trips this year, and have raised some of their own money to go, by various projects. The officers they chose were: Nancy Palm, Pres., assisted by Barb Sundene, Lee Tomlinson. The club has two teams: the boys team, experiencing their first year of competition and a girls team. Mr. Duff, ski club advisor, has helped out the club considerably by offering advice. This year ski club has been most successful. “That professional look?” Try standing up for a change. Bob.

The cheerleaders’ duties are to promote good sportsmanship and also to encourage school spirit. Due to our cheering crowd, they have helped with the success of our team. This year the cheerleaders have done many interesting things. They have had slumber parties, dinners, and pizza parties with cheerleaders from other schools. They also attended the cheerleading clinic, where they learned new cheers and new cheering methods. The “A” squad cheerleaders for this year are Caddy Reiley, Priscilla Lord, Sue Lchmeyer, Juniors; Barb Sundene, Mary Jo Carlson, Judy Haselhuhn, and Jean Kingsrud (alternate) as Seniors.

'J H cKi de t deadati . . . Minnetonka's mighty Skippers finished the season with a record of 7 wins and 2 losses. This was the best record in Tonka’s History. The climax of the season was when the team rose victorious over Park in the final game. With Park leading 20-fi at the half, chances looked slim. However, determination excelled in the second half and as the gun sounded the Skippers had won 39-26. This victory assured Tonka of a tie for second place in the final conference standings. “Coach of the year,” Ray Christcscn Coach Christesen says . . . “Looking ahead to the 1958 football season, my first reaction was that Minnetonka faced a great challenge in competing in the Lake Conference. “Looking back, 1 feel that the squad met this challenge head on and did an Admirable job. “The one outstanding feature of this team was the spirit that they expressed. T fis spirit,was best illustrated in the season's final; as they defeated Park.” 96 Jim said, “To get anywhere in the conference this year a team had to have the desire to win, combined with hard work. We had these and also the help of the greatest coaches. We put these things together and came up with the best season in the history of Minnetonka ” Harry said, I believe most of the credit for this year's record should be given to the linemen. We knew our success depended upon their de-velopment. However, we can't forget the dependable second and third strings and the job done by Coach Christesen and his staff.

Minnetonka’s basketball team reached its all-time peak this year when the Skippers won the Lake Conference championship for the second straight year. Led by their captains Gary Peterson, Harry Gousha and Dave Larson, the Skippers won their first fifteen games before falling to Wayzata and St. Louis Park. They then bounced back to defeat Austin before entering the district tournament, which they lost to Edina. Besides the regular starting line, special credit must be given to Coach Christ and the rest of the team members for their fine work. COACH CHRIST SAYS: “This year's team rates, in my opinion, as the best in Minnetonka’s history. By winning the Lake Conference Championship it put itself in a class with the best in the state.

Finer Anderson and his B-squad cagers had a very successful year and concluded the season with a 12-5 record. They followed the regular conference schedule and preceded the A-squad in their games. Bill Miller was the team's high point man and is one of many who shows outstanding promise for future teams. Mr. Elliott and his B-squad puckstcrs broke the ice to complete their season with a 6-2 record. Their victory over Bloomington and their scrimmage with West were high points of the season.

They trailed league leading Richfield by only one point. The Skipper squad almost gained a berth in the State Tournament but lost to Robbinsdale by a score of 5-3 in the final game of region play. Leadership for the team came from senior co-captains Roger Johnson and Dave Leighton. Four members gained All Conference Recognition. They were seniors Gordy Bowers and Dave Leighton who were placed on the first team while juniors Terry Duggan and Bill Naegele were placed on the second and third strings, respectively. The boys had a lot of ‘HUSTLE’ this year,” said Coach Leak, “and they did an admirable job for us.’’ TONKA......... 0 Wayzata......0 TONKA......... 0 Edina ...........2 TONKA....... 5 Robbinsdale ... 3 TONKA ....... 5 Bloomington ... 0 TONKA 11 Mound ........0 TONKA 5 Park ..........1 TOUKA......... 1 Richfield ....1 TONKA......... 6 Hopkins ......1 TONKA........ 5 Wayzata...........0 TONKA........ 2 Edina ............0 TONKA........ 4 Robbinsdale ... 4 TONKA......... 5 Bloomington ...1 TONKA..........9 Mound.........0 TONKA....... 2 Park .........1 TONKA......... 0 Richfield ....2 TONKA......... 3 Hopkins.......0 D.

Each intramural sport lias a full season of play, plus a play-off to select a championship team. This afterschool activity provides a wide range of sports including basketball, volleyball, touch football, and softball. Intramurals are a lot of fun for the boys, as much spirit is created in their games. Don’t worry. Chuck, it'll come down . . . frctt time £'em . . . Minnetonka females have a chance to exercise their brains in classrooms, but when it comes to exercising brains G.A.A. is the organization that gives girls the chance. During the year, we took on such activities as volleyball, basketball, skiing, tennis and badminton, under the supervision of Miss Wiitala. The officers elected to direct the year's schedule were Nancy Palm, Laurel Whitney, Kathy Phillips, and Kathy Kovanian.

'pori you From among the torn dummy pages, half-written copy, jumble of pictures, and poetry books came your 1959 VOYAGEUR. The hard-working staff frantically met deadlines, checked on spelling of names, and tried to keep everyone in the picture. Midst the chattering of typewriters and piles of papers, toiled your VOYAGEUR staff. As we met each deadline the following remarks were uttered: Mary Peterson, a busy editor, always asked, “What have you been doing all the time? Your deadline is tomorrow.” . . . Steve Hallin, picture-editor, calling from the dark room, “How come are these pictures so small?” . . . Nancy Broste, obstinately cried, “Don’t worry, Mary, I’ll finish on time.” . . . Jim Tremann’s only remark was, “I don’t care, I want to be an editor.” Bill Naegele, talking to coaches the nights before deadlines was often heard saying, Yes, now what did you say that that score was?” . . . Staff members soon picked up many French sayings from Sue Hallberg and Alida Lehmcyer, whose favorites were, “Merci and Naturellment.” . . . Bill Thomas only said, “I sure hope we got all those receipts straight and everyone will get his book.” . . . Nancy Palm handled our sponsors and her reassuring reply was, “Well, I guess we’re going to make it.” . . . Mary Bristol was full of new ideas but often said, “I like the old way better.” . . . Marlene Mellingen, our copy editor’s daily complaint was, ‘‘I’ve got too much to do tonight.” . . . The famed cry of the staff as a whole was, “Who’s going to Smack’s for food . . . Senor Grimes, we need your help . . . who did you say this kid was?” We must also extend our thanks to Scherling Studios for the excellent job that they did on our photography, and also to Haga for their co-operation. As we remember all these things, we also remember the loads of fun and hard work and then the reward: your 1959 VOYAGEUR. Co-editors . .
