WE HAVE TRIED IN OUR BOOK TO PRESENT TWO A8PECT8 OF OUR LIFE. ONE. A RECORD OF OUR DAY8 AT MINNETONKA HIGH SCHOOL AND. TWO. A PICTORIAL RECORD OF AREAS WHICH WE WILL LONG REMEMBER. 3 WE, THE STUDENTS OF MINNETONKA WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS OUR APPRECIATION OF MR. DUFF DEDICATION MR. NICHOLAS DUFF Mr. Duff, a well known teacher at Minnetonka, has a long and interesting past history. After graduating from Blake School, he attended Yale College, where he received his B.A. degree. He then canted his master’s degree at the University of Minnesota. With social studies as his teaching subject. Mr. Duff began his career in Pueblo, Colorado. Moving into the Minnetonka school district, he taught at Excelsior High School (now the Junior High) until the construction of Minnetonka High School nine years ago (1952). Mr. Duff has held nearly all the posts of importance in the professional field, including Minnetonka Teacher Association president, president of the Hennepin division of the M.E.A., and chairman of the State Teacher’s Ethics committee. Here at Minnetonka, where he teaches world history, he is chairman of the social studies department. In appreciation of the friendliness and help he has given us, we, the students of Minnetonka, dedicate this book to Nicholas Duff. Drephftvcti docking area Elmer Kane and William Nilscn concentrate on the district schools and curriculum. MINNETONKA'S EFFICIENT ADMINISTRATION We as students do not fully realize the amount of behind-the-scenes work done by our administration. It is up to the superintendent, William O. Nilsen, to direct die school district in conformity with the adopted policies of the School Board and with state law. Besides being the executive officer of the Board of Education, he develops administrative procedures and gives constant appraisal of all policies originated with the school board. Dr. Elmer Kane, the assistant superintendent, aids Mr. Nilsen by administering the instructional program of all grades in the school district. He supervises all certified personnel in the district except the business manager, selects desirable staff members, and supervises a program of continuous curriculum improvement. The responsibility of formulating policies for the general management of the schools in this district is that of the Board of Education. It has the authority to promote, dismiss, and assign all employees upon the recommendation of the superintendent. The Board can accept, modify, or reject the recommendations of the superintendent or call for new ones. Board member Kruger Libbey, Robert Rcutiman, Eugene Larson, Mr. Greene (architect), John Thompson, Jr., and William From me confer on possible rites for new schools required by the district Not pictured: Lloyd McBumey. PRINCIPAL Harold I. Larson is responsible for all organization, administration, and supervision within the school. He carries through policies adopted by the Board of Education and keeps the administration informed about educational and physical conditions of the school. He also works with the teachers for the interests of the students. ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL Eugene Bristol aids Mr. Larson in much of his work. Development of desirable student-faculty relationships with emphasis on strong student leadership is a major part of Mr. Bristol’s job. He assists the principal in programming and curriculum, and supervises the clerical activities. THE COUNSELOR’S job is to help students develop their own realistic plans for the future, to arrive at their own decisions and to learn responsibility. It is to help students learn to adjust to new and changing conditions and to help them become mature, happy and educated citizens. 9 Adeline Haag, Russell Thomsen RUBEN LOKKEN Biology RONALD OLSEN Higher Algebra ALFRED GNIFFKE Chemistry, Physics WAYNE MILLARD Senior Math MARTIN THAMES Chemistry LYNN KRAFVE Plane Geometry, Trig., Solid Geometry AUNE LAUHALA Biology RICHARD HOLMBERG Higher Algebra Many different mathematics courses are available to students.

These office workers handle correspondence, the public address system, student records, and many other vital details that arc so important to a smoothly-run school.

After discovering that bowing to Seniors and saluting Juniors was not mandatory we went to work and elected the following class officers: President, Jim Seamans: Vice-President, Sue Johnson; Secretary, Kathy Deaton; Treasurer, Bill Miller; and Historian, Renee LeTen-dre. We joined clubs, provided the B-squad cheerleaders — Bunny Nelson, Karen Albrecht, Marlys Smieja, Grctchen Shafer, Sue Johnson, and Margaret Bristol — attended canteens and welcomed the next year’s Sophomores with the traditional party and dance. To show our increasing self-confidence as Juniors we elected Jim Seamans to a second term as President and then Grctchen Shafer, Renee LcTendre, Margaret Bristol and Dave Soucy as Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Historian, respectively. After setting a $7,500 goal for the magazine sale we almost ran aground, but were able to provide, in the words of Senior Bill Naegle, “the most terrific banquet,’’ and an equally superior Prom. The class play, “Our Hearts Were Young and Gay,’’ with Molli Reay and Holly McIntosh as the leads, was well received. Under the auspices of the A.F.S. we sent Jane Wieman to Japan. Jeffery Strickler to Austria and Kathy Triden to Bavaria. Then we were Seniors! It was with an unprecedented amount of thought that we elected our officers — President, Steve Scholle: Vice-President, Don Anderson; Secretary, Virginia Rovainen; Treasurer, Kathy Deaton; and Historian, Shyla Dickson. After this had been done we organized committees of every nature for Homecoming. The honor of queen went to Marlys Smieja and we danced in the “Autumn Reign.” Our last two months was a mad whirl of term papers, the Banquet and Prom given by the Juniors, and finals, all culminating with Commencement. 18 ARE OVER KIRBY ACHESON 16835 Patricia Lane, Hopkins An all around guy who’s fun to be with.” “M Club 1,2,3, Baseball 1,2,3, Basketball 1,2,3, Golf 1.

Jeff Stricklcr, Gretchen Shafer and Bv Miller represented Minnetonka at GIRL AND BOYS’ STATE held in St Paul d i ing the summer. “In Norway the cats have two legs, we drink only horse milk, the wives arc paid for with cows, and everyone is very blond.” To justify his dark hair Jon explains sincerely, “Of course, all Norwegians are blond. The ones that aren’t, we send to Italy or America. Consequently, I dyed my hair.” Jon Lauglo is from Tronhcim, Norway, where his father runs a farm that has been in their family for centuries. He is living with the John Savages in Dcephaven. “Beaver” is very interested in politics and was glad that he had the opportunity to visit the U.S. during election year. When he returns to Norway, he will complete his high school education before entering the university. From Istanbul, Turkey, the only city in the world in both Europe and Asia, has come our A.F.S. student, Nuran Ozdeniz. Nuran has lived in Istanbul all her life and to her, city life is a wonderful way of living. She enjoys shopping in big cities and also seeing American movies. Nuran’s sister is also here on a two year NATO scholarship and is living in Kentucky. When Nuran returns home this year after her tour of the United States, she hopes to attend college and then she would like to work for a tourist company, guiding people around Istanbul. Nuran’s stay at Minnetonka has been a wonderful experience for everyone and she will always be remembered. Nuran lives with the Everett Clausen family in Excelsior. Jon catches up on American current events. Nuran’s bright smile brightens the day for all of us. . . . AND FROM ABROAD Sue, Nuran, Ann, and Jon amuse themselves with a little music.

THE CLAS9 OF 62 The class of ’62 began its second year at Minnetonka bursting with confidence and enthusiasm; a sharp contrast, to be sure, with the preceding fall when, as Sophomores they entered these halls trembling with nervousness. Anxious to share in what is becoming a Tonka tradition (and also because we were flat broke) we sold magazines in order to raise funds for the prom. The sale, profitable, but not quite up to expectation, was organized by a representative from each home room and by the class officers: Greg Wilhelm, President; Bcv Holtze, Vice-President; Frankie Ciarochi, Secretary; Bill Sage, Treasurer; and Judi Richards, Historian. Top salesmen were Jim Koehncn, Steve Whitney, Ted Drenth, and Martha Moorhead. Mr. Elliot’s home room, under the aggressive direction of Barb Leigh, sold the most subscriptions. To some, a class ring is almost as important as a diploma. Therefore, an important class project was presented and each Junior voted on his or her choice. The class, assisted by die sophomore and Seniors, did its part to promote community culture by offering “The Man Who Came to Dinner.” Our class was well represented in the December 9th production, by Alson Toavs and Jerry Palmer. Two students have been selected to travel under the American Field Service. The interviews were in October, and selected as finalists were Lucy Savage, Susan Schoell, .Mary Lou Palm, Penny Bcvis, Susan Moyle, and John Hoffmeister. The highlight of the year was the prom which was held May 5th at the Wayzata Count! )’ Club. Juniors and Seniors alike had a fabulous time. Our Junior year was great. The Senior year, we anticipate, will be even better. 40 Barbara Abel Rosemary Albrechtson Janet Alexander Deanne Allen Arlene Anderson Darlene Anderson David Anderson James Anderson Karen Anderson Mary Anfinson Jullaine Amell Karen Babatz Sandra Baer Steven Bafto Dave Banker Ronald Bateman Grant Bcisc Bruce Benson Ruth Berg Edith Bevis Robert Bidon Thomas Boice Eleanor Bollis James Boone Mariann Booth Carole J.

THE CLASS OF 63 The school year of 1960-61 started with a record number of new, bewildered faces, roaming the halls of Minnetonka in search of lockers and class rooms. After overcoming these obstacles they settled down to the business before them. The first item on the agenda was the election of student council members. They are James McKinney, Su anne Guth, Bruce Peik. Richard Black. Richard Engebretson, Debbie Ferguson, Jon McCormick, Gary Sundcm, Alice Bristol, Craig Schaefer, and Grant Gustafson. Later on in the year came the selection of the class officers and B-squad cheerleaders. The class officers are President, Richard Gerberding; Vice-President, Bruce Triden; Secretary, Debbie Bolton; Treasurer, Marc Mosiman; and Historian, John Purdy. The girls who cheered the B-squad basketball team to victories were Debby Bolton, Kathy Kiskinen, Jean Simons, Roberta Stacks, Judy Stemy and alternate Janet Crouch. The activities of the Sophomore class got off on the right foot when the Sophomores were awarded the trophy for the best float at the Homecoming. In addition to Homecoming the Sophomores participated in their first Sno Day. The biggest undertaking of the Sophomore class was the Freshman-Sophomore Canteen for the Freshmen of the Dcephaven and Excelsior Junior Highs. Another project of the sophomore class was decorating for the Pre-Commencement and Commencement exercises at the end of the year. When the year came to an end the Sophomore class could look back on a year which they could be proud of and look ahead to the possibilities of a new year. 56 Susan Adomeit Jeanne Adsem Cheryl Ahrendy Jane Alexander Paul Allen Charles Anderson Craig Anderson Diane Anderson Holly Anderson John Anderson Maxine Anderson Neal Anderson Paul Anderson Grace Armstrong Margie Arnold Susan Arnold James Azarski Rae Bachc Kenneth Banker Mary Bauman Sue Bechrlc Andrea Benson Martin Benson Bette Bergstrom Douglas Bcvis Judy Bitting Richard Black Susan Blom Debbie Bolton Bonnie Bravo Alice Bristol Stephen Bruce Carol Burnett Stephen Campbell Sharon Carmichiel James Castle Phyllis Caswell Dan Clark David Cobb Barbara Conright Pamela Couillard Scott Craigic Cathy Crepeau Janet Crouch Laura Cummings Michael Czock Kurt Dahl Judith Date i s n id 57 Mary Davidson Charlotte Davies Gary Davis Walter Davis Katrina Deines Sally Devore Eugene Dix Paula Effertz Larry Ellis Jeanette Emerson Richard Engcbrctson Diane Erickson Rolf Erickson Virginia Favre Deborah Ferguson Paul Finsness Alan Fletcher Faith Followcll Roberta Fontaine Joanne Foty Carolyn Gallagher Barbara Garrison Patricia Gerber Richard Gerberding Bruce Goetz Kenneth Grabow Pamela Graham Sandra Grover Grant Gustafson Suzanne Guth Driver training students attempt their first solo flight.

The 1960 Homecoming activities began with a lively pep fcst on Friday afternoon. Excitement mounted as the student body participated in cheers and various skits. Finally, the big moment arrived when Marty Smieja was announced as Queen. That night Tonka took on the Hopkins’ Warriors in a game that ended in a 20—13 victory' for Tonka. At half-time, the floats which had been the target of much time and effort, were paraded around the field led by the band. Minnetonka got their first glance of Marty and her royal court atop the blue and white crepe paper Queen’s float. Back of Marty was a large blue and white Skipper wheel. As the excitement of the parade died all heads turned to see a group of junior and senior boys clad in trench coats walk on the field. These “Haka” boys attempted to whip up additional enthusiasm in the crowd. Following the victorious game, everyone returned to the gymnasium for the coronation. The announcement that the sophomore float had won brought cheers of approval. Following the entry of attendants Sue Johnson, Renee IxiTendre. Sue Lizec, and Mollic Reay, Queen Marty Smieja was crowned Queen of I960. A perfect end to a wonderful Homecoming came with the dance “Autumn Reigns” held in the beautifully decorated lunchroom. R.

This year’s Sno-day activities were highlighted by the crowning of Queen Bev Holt e and King Grant Boise. Their attendants from the Sophomore class were Charlannc Davies and Mike Czock and from the Senior class Pam Mills and Les Allen. Following the coronation, we were entertained by A.B.U.F. and F.U.B.A., who exerted much effort to lead the Haka yell. The girls’ broom hockey games, although wet and sloppy, lead to many tied scores: 0—0. A victorious wrestling match against Wayzata was followed by a pot luck dinner in the lunchroom. The Skippers played an exciting and close basketball game against Richfield. The final touch to an eventful day was our Sno-day ball in the gym. LEFT: Got a pain or prayin’ for rain? Sno-day sock hop entertains Tonkans. LEFT: Cast of the all-school play. On December 9, 1960, the Tonka dramatics department in conjunction with all three classes presented “The Man Who Came to Dinner.” The plot of this comedy centered around one Sheridan Whiteside, renowned radio orator and lecturer, who has injured himself in a fall. He takes advantage of this by interrupting the household of Ernest Stanley. After attempting to ruin the love life of his secretary and determine the future of the Stanley children, Whiteside finds himself forced to reverse his decisions by the very people he had affected. The irascible Sheridan Whiteside is Dave Bel, senior. Holly McIntosh and Marshall Brand played Maggie Cutler, the secretary, and her lover Mr. Jefferson. The prissy Miss Preen, Whiteside’s nurse was Molly Atwood. The Stanley family consisted of Alson Toavs, Carolyn Gallagher, Jerry Palmer and Cean VanRaemdonk as father, mother, brother and sister. The play was directed by Miss Margaret Heincn with assistance from Bev Johnston and Sally Tedholm. ABOVE: David Bell and Ron Parker make-up for performance.

Harpagon, a notorious miser, planned to arrange the matrimonial affairs of his son and daughter to suit his beloved pockctbook. Several of Harpagon’s acquaintances conspired to pilfer his cashbox, and succeeded in doing so. This act resulted in threatening and cook-chasing, filling the stage with vivid action. Upon a promise of the return of his cashbox, Harpagon consented to the wishes of his children. “The Statuc”listcns in on Harpagon's soliloquy. Elise, Cleante and Marianne discuss the prohlem of Harpagon. Peter Kennedy starred as the miser, supported by Jerry Palmer, who played his son Cleante, and Barb Leigh, cast as his daughter Elise. Elisc loved valet Steve Whitney, while Cleante secretly wooed Marianne, portrayed by Patricia Murphy. The staff was rounded out by Carmaline Carmony, Martha Mase, Mary Lou Palm. Karen Conner, Art Johnscn, Dave Kimball, Bill Rcutiman, Steve Hcnrikson, and Jeff Lindquist. Mr. Chisholm was assisted by Cheryl Dickson. Autumn reigns over Tonka’s victory.

The color “lavender” is the newest thing in a range of bright colors that go from orange to green. It is seen in skirts, blouses and sweaters. Belted tunics arc also the rage. The movie that is “big” this year is “Exodus” and Tonkans see not only the movie but read the book and buy the sound track. “Peanuts,” like the past three years, is widely read at Tonka, either nightly in the newspaper or in paper-back editions. “Peanuts” fans can also obtain information on Linus and his blanket by listening to radio-station KDYVB which gives a day-by-day run down each night. Compact cars, which arc “the thing to drive” save money on gas, but they can’t compare to station wagons for taking many kids to a game. On television adventure scries are replacing the long familiar westerns, and such shows as Surf side 6, Hawaiian Eye, Hong Kong, The American, and Adventures in Paradise are watched weekly by Tonkans. 80 . . .

A meeting of members, past and present, was held December 29, at which pictures were shown, refreshments, served, and a general “gab-fest” held. The talented hams (not edible) are the stars of the NATIONAL THESPIAN SOCIETY. Qualifications for “try-outs” arc points earned by participating in dramatic activities by acting, working on play committees, or taking part in speech activities. On opening nights THESPIANS were found in such productions as “A Night of One Acts,” which they co-sponsored. FIRST ROW: Left to Right: B. Johnston, R. Lc-Tendre, B. Floyd. SECOND ROW: B. Hladky, K.

THEY MARK THE TRAILS . . . Bill offers Barb and Ivar a Buz Book — for a price. Signs such as: “Buy Your Buz Books” and “Composers Unite for an All-Conference Song” posted in the halls demonstrate the numerous projects the STUDENT COUNCIL initiates. Besides selling the student directories and encouraging Lake Conference projects, the school governing body sells book covers and holds the annual clothing drive for the “Save the Children Federation.” Guy Blessing, Bill Miller, and Lucy Savage represent our school at the Lake Conference Student Council held at Hopkins this year. Vince Anderson and Pete Kennedy are Minnetonka’s delegates to the State Convention of Student Councils. Working with advisor, Mr. Eugene Bristol, in leading the Student Council are officers: Vince Anderson, President; Mark Schollc, Vice-president; Gretchen Schaefer. Secretary; Bunny Nelson, Treasurer; and Anne Savage, Historian. The purpose of the Student Council is to be a representative of the student body and try to carry out improvements for them. “The Good Fortune of America” was the theme of the annual Thanksgiving program sponsored by the Hi-Y. Working toward their goal of helping themselves by helping others, the Minnetonka branch of HI-Y becomes a worthwhile organization giving spiritual and mental gains to the lx ys enrolled. The Hi-Y is divided into three clubs or chapters at Minnetonka. They arc: the Alpha Beta Chi with Steve Whitney as head, the Kappa lead by Mark Scholle, and the Phi Omicron Beta with its president, Joe Prouse. The individual group meetings of each chapter are held weekly except once a month when the all-school club meeting takes place. Each Chapter may take trips, see movies, or have speakers come to its individual group. In the summer, the allschool group takes a canoe trip to Canada. Leading the all-school Hi-Y are officers: President, Chuck Tremann: Vice-president, Walter Swanson: Secretary, Mark Scholle: and Chaplain. Glen Whitesell. Mr. Davenport advises the group. . . .

Y-TEEN8 The Tonka Y-Teens, which are affiliated with the Y.W.C.A, share in the activity of their older sisters. Divided into committees, instead of the former chapters, they differ in construction from former Y-Teens. These committees arc; Program Committee, in charge of advertising the various activities, Service Committee, whose duties include obtaining food for needy families; and the special Events Committee, which takes care of such things as Sno-day. The purpose of Y-Teens is to strive “to Build a fellowship of women and girls devoted to the task of realizing in their common life those ideals of personal and social living to which they are committed by their faith as Christians.” IT'S THE Y-TEEN WAY . . .

LIBRARY ASSISTANTS Coming to the rescue of many a bewildered Tonka student was one of the nineteen LIBRARY ASSISTANTS, who volunteer their studyhalls and before and after school free time one or two times a week to aid librarian, Mrs. Klotz. Their duties are many and varied. They help keep the library clean and neat and also help the library in putting up window displays, but books are their specialty. They check out books, and make sure the books are back in their proper places on the shelves. Through their service in the library these students become better acquainted with the library and the various books. They learn responsibility and efficiency as well as aid their fellow classmates. FROM BEHIND THE SCENES . . . STAGE CREW After class plays, the actors aren’t the only ones who sighed in relief. Tonka’s five STAGE CREW members, in charge of lighting and sound, were also responsible for the success of these school endeavors. They are often seen scurrying around during pep-fests and basketball games where they set up the speaker system. Also on their list of “must do’s” arc providing music for the canteens and the staging for the plays. Advisor, Mr. Milo Fowler, instructed the volunteers in electrical work and the projection machines. To be eligible for participation in stage crew a boy must maintain a “C” average. Each year of completed services brings the members a certificate, while a special stage crew pin is given for three years of service. 100 Left to Right: STANDING: Steele Lovett, Dave Herzog, Richard Williams, John Oarc.

Initiation of new members and the installation of officers started another active year for the Minnetonka Future Teachers of America under the leadership of Betty Floyd, president: Kathy Kuder, vice-president; Cheryl Parmer, secretary; Tom Opfer, treasurer; Kathy Sadek, librarian ; and Linda Johnson, historian. The F.T.A. is mainly an exploratory group whose members are interested in discovering if they want to go into the field of teaching. Interesting plans for the year include invitations to teachers as F.T.A. speakers and running such movies as: “Crowded Out” and “Mike Makes His Mark.” Often on the agenda is a tour of a local college. A Christmas party and a spring picnic keep the future teachers busy while the Christmas Canteen they sponsored provided a good time for everyone. . . . TO THE FORWARD LOOK R. Peterson J. Stone “Resolved: That the United Nations should be significantly strengthened. By debating problems like this, the debators of Minnetonka High School have developed research skills, speaking, writing and analyzing abilities. The eighteen debators became members of the club by participating in three consecutive meetings. The Debate Club officers are Peter Kennedy, president; Susan Moyle, vice-president; Alix Davis, secretary; John McCormick, treasurer; Anna Ciaro-chi, historian.

Clad in their white crew neck sweaters and bright blue pleated skirts, the ROUSERS are easy to spot as they spread their school spirit to the various sports. The group consists of seventy-eight members, each chosen by the executive committee after writing a paper on “What I Promise to do as a Rouser.” The club officers arc: Jeanne Walker, President; Evon Favre, Vice-president; Lucy Savage, Secretary; and Karen Albrecht, Treasurer. To promote school spirit the Rousers have put up a weekly display advertising the upcoming games. Heading the committee responsible for these colorful jjosters is Cean Van Raemdank. Besides attending the football, hockey, and basketball games, and the wrestling matches, the Rousers take part in the pep-fest skits. This year they initiated a new policy of welcoming the pep clubs from the other schools with pins they make themselves. 102 1-2-3-Kick! 1-2-3-Kick! So it goes for the Minnetonka SKIPPERETTES. Under the leadership of their new choreographer, Bonnie Bravo, and assistant, Shcrril Grunsten, they provide half-time entertainment at many of the football and basketball games. The sixteen girls exhibit their many hours of precision practice as they entertain the crowds with timed kicks and steps to the tunes of “7—20 in the Books,” “The March of the River Kwai“String of Pearls,” and others. The Skipperette board, which is responsible for the general governing of the group, includes: Sue Bechrle, Mercedes Bull, Ginny Favre, Arline Moran, Barbara Schendel, and LaVemc Smith.

If there's any strength in numbers, then Tonka should have won all of its sporting events, for the cheerleaders have doubled their forces. The juniors and seniors who form the A-SQUAD, are divided into two groups; one cheering for the football and hockey teams, the other for the basketball and wrestling teams. Cheering for the gritters and puckstcrs arc seniors Grctchcn Shafer and Marty Smieja; and juniors Martha Mase, Dana Knutson, Barb Leigh, and alternate Karen Nelson. The grapplcrs and cagers are spurred on by seniors Margaret Bristol, and Sue Johnson; and juniors Mary Hallberg, Jayne Lokken, and Frankie Ciarochi. Bunny Nelson and Bev Holtze are the alternates. Besides leading the cheers for the major athletic events, the cheerleaders are automatically Rousers and share in their activities. On their own they have slumber parties pre-game dinners with cheerleaders from other schools and with the assistance of Miss Wiitala plan pep fests. FOOTBALL AND HOCKEY LEFT TO RIGHT: G. Shafer, D.

The girls who made the B-SQUAD for this year are Debby Bolton, Kathy Kiskinen, Jean Simons, Roberta Staska, Judy Stcrny and alternate Janet Crouch. Under the coaching of Frances Wiitala, they lead cheers at the B-squad basketball games and at many of the wrestling matches. When they are not cheering, they join their “older sisters ’ in making signs and doing other duties for Rouscrs. From the grasslands of New Zealand From the war-chant of the Mauori, Comes the Haka chant of Tonka — The A.B.U.F. chant for victory.

PUCKSTERS ON ICE . . . Minnetonka’s pneksters exhibited a finer team this year than their won loss record would tend to show. That thin line that separates a ‘great’ team from a ‘fine’ one is the only factor which kept the icemen from league honors. The Skipper's scoring punch was the result of hardshooting captain Steve Schollc and junior Bob Leaf, center and wing respectively. They were backed by second line center Bill Wood-ley, and Dave Bowers, first line forward. Wayne Johnson, along with Joe Ryan, led Minnetonka’s hard-socking defensemen through a rough-and-tumble season. The team's net-minders were spearheaded by varsity goalie Dale Kilpatrik with sophomore George Carlson playing the role of reserve puck-stopper. The HOCKEY TEAM loses co-captains Steve Scholle and Wayne Johnson; also Joe Ryan and Dale Kilpatrik through graduation this year. These vacancies will most likely be filled by a team that is strongly dominated this season by juniors. Mark Scholle, Chris Laing, and Jay Peirsol, along with previously mentioned juniors, are expected to sparkplug next year’s skaters. Cocaptains Wayne Johnson and Steve Scholle with coach Roger Leak. 117 Practice for the big Saturday night game. . . . MAKE GOALS GALORE LEFT TO RIGHT: T. Foster, G. Carlson, 1. Benson, G. Davis, T.

Losing to Robbinsdale and Bloomington, the grapplers came back to top Richfield and St. Louis Park. Under the leadership of coach Ray Christesen and co-captains 'Pom Demo and Steve Bauman, the team shows great improvement. The B-squad, coached by Gordon Lindgren, has piled up four wins and only two losses against stiff competition. Bill Millard, Dan Strot, Jim Wilson show promise of making the A-squad. Wrestling this year is more popular than any previous year at Minnetonka. Eleven out of the thirty-eight wrestlers this year are lettermcn. Greater attendance at the matches has done much to boost the team’s morale. Bevis makes 2 points for a take down. 120 Congrats Tom, and five points for Tonka. Bacon goes for the pin.

In INTRAMURALS all boys have an opportunity to participate in sports. Individual and team games give everyone a chance to vary his activities. Ping pong, tennis, softball, volleyball, and basketball are a few of the sports offered, with basketball being the most popular one. This year, the Vulture League consisted of the Surfsidc Six. Plow Jockeys, B.O. Boys, No Names, and Any-things. The teams on the Buzzard League were the Magnificent Six, Untouchables, Zombies, Bankers, Wee Wads, and Nite Owls. The Intramurals Board, made up of three seniors, three juniors, and three sophomores, drew up the rules and regulations for the various sports. Those elected for the board are Jim Seamans, John Thompson, Ivar Upens, Jerry Martin, Steve Whitney, Myron Schliesman, John Swanson, Doug Bcvis, and William Heinsch. Mr. Harry Baker and Mr. James Dunlop are the advisers. Keep hold of that ball! WHAT’S IN THE WAY . . . Jump ball starts the season. FIRST ROW: K. Kuder, J. Harrington, R. Fontaine. SECOND ROW: P.

OF FUN AND PLAY? Organized to have fun, to develop and practice good sportsmanship and to improve athletic skills, the GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION is the only way that girls have an opportunity to participate in sports, outside of fencing. Moreover, it is the only way that they may earn a letter, other than by chccrleading. Fall and spring sports that can be participated in are archery, soccer, tennis, and softball. Volleyball, basketball and badminton arc the major winter sports. This year’s officers are Jan Harrington, president; Roberta Fontaine, vice-president; Kathy Kuder, secretary; and Kathy Kiskinen, treasurer. Miss Fran Wiitala is the advisor. Don’t just stand there, jump for it Jan. Get that ball Nancy. 123 The count is 3 and 2 for Al. Slide Greg! Minnetonka's BASEBALL nine takes the diamond this spring with six returning lettcrmen, five of whom are seniors. 'Hie lineup is headed by Don Anderson, Tonka’s hard hitting third sacker. Other lettcrmen planning to give him plenty of support arc Jim Seamans, outfielder, and Grant Beisc, Tonka’s varsity catcher from last year. Kirby Achcson, ace hurler from last season, backed by Dick Walton form the nebulous of the pitching staff. Things are looking up for the skipper ball team that should finish no worse than last year’s fourth place tie. DIAMOND DAYS FIRST ROW: T. Christ, D. Anderson. D. Walton, F. Moss. G. Wilhelm.

Minnetonka’s team finished sixth in the district with the help of Bemie Johnson and Pete VanHoosc, who were consistently under ten minutes, and George Thomas who set a school record of 9:35. The close scores in each meet indicate an improvement over previous years. The letterwinners, besides those runners previously mentioned, arc Dave Lynas, Steve Whitney and Fred Prouse. Mr. Krafve summed up the year with, ‘‘Everybody did a good job.” HARD-RUNNING TRACKSTERS The Minnetonka TRACK season begins this year on March 1, 1961. Two records were broken last year by athletes who are competing this year. Vince Anderson set the school 440 record at 52.4 seconds breaking, the old by 2.8. He also placed third in the region and district. JefF Haines broke the 220 school record by 1.1 seconds. setting the record at 22.8 seconds.

The returning lettermen from last year’s team arc juniors George Hallin and Bob Leaf. The other squad members are: Jim Johnson, Pete Kennedy, Bob Olds, Mike Hanily, and George Webster. The home matches are played at the Minnetonka Country Club. After the regular conference matches arc completed, a district, region and state tournament is held at the U. of M. golf course. LEFT TO RIGHT: B. Olds, J. Johnson, G. Webster, P. Kennedy, B. Leaf, G. Hallin. SPRING BRINGS FORTH . . . The FENCING CLUB, now in its fifth year, is organized early in the year so that the fencers have plenty of time to get into condition for the meets. The club meets in the gym every Thursday night for practice and the state meets are held in the spring. Regular meets usually begin after Christmas. At the Thursday night meetings, fencing instruc- tor Paul Dahl gives a short pep talk and then gives individual lessons to the members. Bert Dahl was again elected President of the club, and through elimination, was chosen Minnetonka’s best fencer. Last year he took first place in the Boys’ State Meet. KNEELING: P. Carlson, K.

FOILS AND CLUBS TENNIS at Minnetonka begins early in the fall gets frozen out in the winter, and resumes again during the spring, when all the matches arc held. This year the team faces a stiff lake conference schedule with Edina as the team to beat. Ernie DeSantis, the coach, thinks that with the team’s previous record of wins and with the help of some incoming sophomores, Minnetonka will command good standing among the lake conference teams this spring.
