These rugged men of the wilderness opened up our area for further civilization. Their spirit of inquisitiveness, self-reliance, and desire to explore the unknown is reflected still in the things we do. With them in mind, our yearbook was named VOYAGEUR. ku , I.'.-'.-'' i.V ■ V tal hofflazdtd fc v • 7'AvUS hJli Q yilVTUt iJ jatfitTA y 4 U. cJc lucA ahofrfr k a C v X U)A S (wrff £ 44CC JI f yi pK jv7 pedfaMy DeJicat i t 62 K ■ Ajts. WMfolw O. NifiS6 i All of us know Mr. Nilsen, but few of us ore familiar with his past. He did his undergraduate work at Saint Olaf College, majoring in chemistry and economics. Later he received his M.A. from the University of Minnesota. Mr. Nilsen began his career as principal at Buffalo Lake, Minnesota. Next he taught science and coached at Browns Valley. His first superintendent position came at Holmen, Wisconsin. He has held similar positions at Spring Grove and Excelsior before the construction of Minnetonka High School in 1952. Voyageur could have justifiably been dedicated to Mr. Nilsen any year. We feel this year is particularly appropriate because of his efforts on behalf of the recent bond issue. His leadership in coordinating the efforts of the Board of Education and the various citizen committees was indispensi-ble in its passage on December 12, 1961. Through him we hope to thank all those who made this event possible. 4 •w . fck, JUfVL •p - r -uJ c.L sr -, 0- y - ■''— S,. £Mi ' ' 0 3t P yc x Couitods Acd-sta ucs . .

Nilsen, Superintendent of Schools, has the difficult and complex task of coordinating the diverse activities of District 276. This entails directing the Board of Education, appraisal of Board decisions, and setting administrative procedures. Mr. Eugene Bristol, a familiar face at Tonka, has this year been elevated to the position of Director of Secondary Education. In this role he is responsible for the development of curriculum and instruction in the senior and junior high schools. The various depart- ments, through the respective department heads, work through the Director of Secondary Education. The Board of Education, whose job it is to formulate the general of the district, has had a trying year. The defeat of a bond issue in the spring of 1961 was a disappointment to the members. Part of this year's agenda has been spent listening to various citizen committees on a new bond issue. This issue has aroused much public interest. Board chairman Eugene Larson clarifies a point in question during vote. William Nilsen, William Frommes, Robert Reutiman, Eugene the final meeting before the December bond issue is presented for the Larson, Kruger Libbey, and Arthur Bell. oJb tJi Tbp Harold I. Larson, principal, leads our faculty and student body on to another worthwhile year. He supervises faculty-student relationships, keeps the public informed of present school conditions, and puts into effect the policies set by the board. Mr. James Cabalka, new Assistant Principal, has become acquainted with the student body this year. He assists Mr. Larson in matters concerning programing and curriculum, and also is in charge of those who have been absent. The counseling staff has been bolstered this year by the return of Mr. Bolmeier from graduate study in the East. We come into direct contact with the counselors through matters such as curriculum, testing, college preparation, and vocational planning. We appreciate their advice and assistance in the decisions we must make. Mitt Haag, Mr. Bolmeier, Mr. Thomson.

The science student has ample opportunity to familiarize himself with various laboratory procedures which are essential to the further study of any science. Here as in many other fields of instruction at Minnetonka, the student has the opportunity to utilize the science department for his future educational and coeducational plans.

The respective departments are headed by Einer Anderson, Earl Christ, and Milo Fowler. Driver Training gives the student behind-the-wheel training and classroom instruction. As an extra aid, a new car was purchased this year. Physical Education is required for sophomores and is elective and non-credit for juniors and seniors. Students get training in major sports and a good deal of exercise. Health class is also required for sophomores. Industrial Arts include woodworking, drawing, and advanced metals. These courses are a part of the vocational training courses offered in Tonka's curriculum. Ken at the forge and Gory welding ore typicol of o day's activity in shop class. 15 Richard Fuller Inez Thorsen Business Education Tonka offers many courses which prepare a student for a vocation.

The magazine sale succeeded in draining dry the pockets of citizens of the community for banquet money. The all school ploy, The Man Who Came to Dinner, saw juniors Jerry Palmer and Alson Toavs ably representing our class. The junior class play, The Miser, helped raise money for our class while giving the community much enjoyment. All efforts added up to a very successful Banquet and Prom in May. With renewed vigor, the class of '62 entered the doors of Minnetonka, greeting the sophomores and juniors with an air of experience and confidence. The election of class officers was immediately taken care of. Selected were: Mark Scholle, president; Art Johnson, vice-president; George Hallin, secretary; Bill Sage, treasurer; and Judi Richards, historian. Showing Edina's Mourningside was an unrealized goal, but the hard work and planning were well worth the effort, as was shown in a successful evening of Moments to Remember. Second only in importance to graduation itself were the Prom and Banquet, put on by the juniors in May. All this, of course, was only a prelude to the final climactic events — Baccalaureate and Commencement. 20 BARBARA ABEL 430 Lafayette Avo., Excolsior Never too busy to be friendly Vcyogour 3; Chorus 1,3; Operetta 1,3; F.H.A. 3; Rousers 3; G.A.A. 1,2,3; Y-Teens 1,2,3.

Not pictured: Chari Heninger, Secretary. TfiA CJms off 1963 With a year of experience under their belts, last year's sophomores returned as juniors, with new confidence and enthusiasm for the events of the coming school year. The first business put before the juniors was the choice of class officers to lead them in the year ahead. The selections were: Doug Bevis, presi-ident; Bruce Triden, vice-president; Chari Heninger, secretary; Alan Fletcher, treasurer; and John Purdy, historian. Next on the agenda was the raising of money for the prom and banquet. Under the leadership of the class officers and junior home room representatives, the sale turned out to be profitable, but not quite up to the optimistic expectations. Selling the most boxes of candy was the lunch room, under the direction of Ginni Favre and Mr. Peik. Three juniors were selected as finalists for this year's A.F.S. program. They were Cathy Mahin, Steve Pouliot, and Mark Laidig. During the school year, the juniors were able to purchase class rings. Final selection of style was made by a vote on three different types. Choice of size and stone were left to the individual. All are worn with pride. The highlight of the junior social calendar wos the junior-senior prom, held in the spring. Juniors and seniors alike had a wonderful time. After their junior year, the class of '63 could be proud of the year behind, and look forward, with added confidence, to the year ahead. 4! S.

The halls were larger, the lunchroom bigger, but very soon we felt a part of a big organization. Soon everybody was in the swing of things. New friends were being made, more clubs and activities to join and we quickly discovered that school wasn't all work. Many of the boys went out for football, while the girls were busy trying out for Rousers and cheerleading. Still others were working on the all school play. We were all kept busy having fun. Due to an energetic class, we progressed steadily; taking the first order of business which was electing class officers. The officers are Jerry Brown, President; Keith Johnson, Vice President; Jeff Carlson, Treasurer; Ruth Humleker, Secretary; and Pat Carmony, Historian. Before we knew it, homecoming was upon us and our Sophomore float was under construction. We didn't win first prize, but we still have two more years. We were all excited about our first homecoming dance and it proved to be all we had hoped for. The days passed and winter sports began. We took part in basketball, hockey, wrestling, and the traditional Sno-Day. Spring come and so did the last days of school; but before we closed up shop we performed our last and final function,- the Freshman-Sophomore Canteen. When school ended we felt that we could look back on a worthwhile, fun-filled year and say, Well done class of 1964. 48 C. Alexander J. Allen V. Allen V. Alsfead G. Anderson G. Anderson J.

Yet as time passed, they came to relish the portages, for at the end of each was a new lake and a new challenge. AjOtnhj Excitement reigned supreme at the afternoon pep fest. Everyone enthusiastically joined in the cheering led by the band and the cheerleaders. However there was an undercurrent of tenseness os everyone anxiously awaited the big moment.

The Night of January 16th found Pete Kennedy and Al-son Toavs as lawyers, struggling for the jury's favor in the high school auditorium. Witnesses came forth from the audience to give their accounts of Karen Andre's (Carmy Carmony) actions concerning the death of Nancy Faulkner's husband. (Karen Dittberner). On both nights the play was presented, the juries found Karen not guilty. Witnesses for the defense included Gai Stuart as the handwriting expert, Bernie Tschumi as the medical examiner, Mrs. Hutchins, played by Mary Lou Palm, Jerry Palmer as the policeman, Jeff Lindquist as the detective, and Richard Gerberding as Sigurd Junquist. Witnesses for the state were Nancy Faulkner the widow and her father, played by Dave Kimball. Steve Pouliot was seen as Larry Regan a gangster in love with Karen Andre. 64 Dwpito frustrations of practices, tight scheduling, and bad snow storms, the large turnout for the Prince of Pilsen helpod the chorus put on another successful operetta. By Catyutg Actmq Once again the sound of music rings from the auditorium as the chorus presents the annual operetta. The story this year is The Prince of Pilsen. As are most operettas, if is the story of mistaken identities and romance. The cast is headed this year by Jerry Palmer, the prince,- Sue Anderson, as Jean Boomer from Texas; Mr. Gopher Gulch himself; Jake Boomer, played by Mike Czock; and Nancy Adams, a girl from Miss Crocker's (Carolyn Gallagher) finishing school, played by Sue Troxell. In addition, Kareen Schroeder plays Sidone, Miss Crocker's maid,- Myron Schiesman plays the role of Francois, Mike Garaghty and Lynn Hammond playing Wilbert and Dilberf, and the chorus in parts varying from American co-eds to German students.

This change came in the form of white, fluffy snow. Y-Teens and Hi-Y groups went joyously about their planned activities. Girls had their yearly chance to beat each other's brains out by playing broom hockey. Spectators' shouts could be heard throughout the school as girls slipped, fell, and broke their brooms. For the first time in many a Sno Day there was a cross country ski course and also sliding and skating. For those not inclined to participation in sports there were ski movies shown in the V.A. room. Dinner was served by the Y-Teens before the boys met Bloomington for the basketball game. There was a wrestling meet at Park for all avid wrestling fans. Finally, to end a perfect day, there was the dance in the gym. Reigning over all these activities were King Jay Peirsol and Queen Pam Ruff from the senior class.

Minnetonka welcomed Gai Stuart from Sydney, Australia, and Bernard Tschumi, from Lausanne, Switzerland, in exchange for Penny Bevis who was sent to Bremen, Germany, on the APS summer program. Penny sailed for Europe several days before school let out last spring. She spent two months with a family of four in Bremen, Germany. After going to a girls' school near Sydney, in southeastern Australia, Gai had a glimpse of the public school system in the United States. Her American family included a sister, Donna, with whom she went to school, an older brother, Tom, and a younger brother, John. Gai enjoys music and most sports, participating in swimming and tennis. Her dislikes include reading, and that mainstay of the American teenager's meal — the hamburger. Bernie Tschumi, from Lausanne, Switzerland, was Minnetonka's other AFS student. Bernie stayed with Dick Engebretson and his family. His English was far from perfect when he arrived, but he picked it up quickly and was soon speaking idiomatic English. Bernie was known for his smile and his guitar. Not infrequently, one might find Bernie walking through the halls with this guitar. He was very active in school affairs, belonging to ABUF, French Club and Latin Club. Bernie tries one of the American cuts. 68 Peony prepore for a talk on her trip to Germany. merican Field Service Increasing friendship and understanding among the peoples of the world is the purpose of the American Field Service.

Oh well, it's only twenty below. We give up so much for our education. By eight it's off to first hour. After sleeping halfway through first hour, second and third don't seem so bad. Then comes four hour and confusion. Some of us are down eating to get the courage to go fourth hour. while others are suffering through class. Bells ring, and positions are reversed. Only two hours left. At 2:47, the whole school is poised in anticipation. Then the bell rings and the once silent halls are filled with sighs of, Oh, I have so much homework! and Well, I botched this day completely. The busses wait to carry most of the students home. The others manage to find some reason to stay after. 70 LEFT: They're coming out the windows! om L pUtftWy ft's Ov t During this activities period, many of the off-beat incidents occur that make school worth the effort.

Its members were chosen for their leadership, character, high scholarship, and service to the school. By the end of each school year, 15% of the graduating seniors had been chosen for membership in the society by the faculty and the preceding year's senior members. The year's officers were Bill Reutiman, president; Grant Beise, vice-president; and Sue Dixon, secretary-treasurer. Under their direction a reunion of the society's old and present members was held in December. Prospective members of the THESPIAN HONOR SOCIETY earn points toward membership and are admitted as a reward for excellence of performance. Under the direction of Miss Margaret Heinen, the Thespians in conjunction with the drama department, presented A Night of One Acts. Spreading the News was given at the district play festival in March. The members sponsored a candy sale to provide funds for the staging of their various productions.

These clubs provided the opportunity for students to develop interests in many areas of science through monthly seminars, projects, and field trips. The seminars were programs of varied topics which featured a speaker from the Twin City area. Representatives from each of the sections made up the governing body of the entire Sci-Tonkans group. As each club took its turn presenting the monthly seminars, its representative was put in charge. The board consisted of: Grayle Leech, Jeff Lindquist, Virginia Moyle, and Speed Thul. The presidents of the various groups were: Sue Moyle, Biology and Future Scientists; Craig Boone, Jets,- and Craig Anderson, Radio. Besides sponsoring the seminars, each group of Sci-Tonkans took part in their separate projects which meant such things as maintaining the animals in the biology room for biology club.

These were only a few of the activities they undertook to accomplish their purpose of promoting the general welfare of Minnetonka's students and faculty, and upholding the high standards of the school. Another of these many projects was promoting Bundle Days which was more than a week of collecting used clothing from the homerooms for needy people. All of these activities acquainted the members with the principles of self-government and community service. The Council was made up of one duly-elected representative from each homeroom plus the represent-ative-at-large, Marcia Timmers. The officers were elected in the spring of the preceding year and were: Dave Anderson, president, Gary Sundem, vice-president; Alice Bristol, secretary; John Hoffmeister, treasurer; and Debbie Bolton, historian.

Their biggest project was sponsoring the annual convention of the Minnesota Junior Classical League which was held at Minnetonka, March 24, because the League's president, Steve Henrikson, came from Minnetonka. Steve Pouliot, JCL historian, was also a Minnetonka student. The Latin Club held a canteen in February to raise money for the convention. Under the guidance of advisor, Miss Evelyn Mo and patroness, Athena, the club officers were elected in true Roman style. They were: Dick Gerberding, consul; John McCormick, secundus consul; Kris Holmberg, scribia; Steve Pouliot, pontifex maxi-mus; Richard Black, censor,- and Dick Engebretson, quaestor.

Debators were chosen on the basis of their ability to represent Tonka at various tournaments during the debate season, which was from September to March. The club met twice a month to transact general, social, or organizational business. In December, during their tournament at the University of Minnesota, the debate team, with advisor, Mr. John Raymond, had dinner at the Waikiki Room of the Nicollet Hotel. At the debate party, the entire club had a Japanese dinner at the Fuja-ya Restaurant in Minneapolis.

They had a part in providing many of the props used in dramatic activities and had to be at the programs and concerts to see that all was well. Headed by senior, Dave Herzog, the group was the largest it had ever been and consisted of four seniors, three juniors, and one sophomore. The boys are recognized with certificates every year on Awards Day and receive a pin for three years of service. Each morning the PROJECTIONIST CREW, Tedd Drenth and Allan Gjerde, took charge of seeing that the projection machines and the films were in the rooms that had requested them. Under the direction of their advisor, Mr. Wayne Millard, the boys were responsible for showing all the films at all-school assemblies and helped train the many room projectionists. fs U.ottO' ofo Groups Many a helping hand has been given by the LIBRARY ASSISTANTS. They volunteered their study halls and extra time to helping Mrs. Klotz in the library. Among their many duties were: working at various checking-out procedures at the charge desk, slipping and shelving books, pulling out and replacing magazines, and going over the book shelves periodically to see that they were in order. The library assistants also helped put up the displays in the library display case, and aid their fellow classmates in finding books and magazines. Although many of their former tasks were taken over this year by a paid clerk, they constituted an indispensable position in the library but received little more recognition than a certificate on Award's Day. The knowledge and experience gained through this activity, however, should be its own reward now and in later years. LIBRARY ASSISTANTS LEFT TO RIGHT: FIRST ROW: E. Petersen, J. Hoc , J. Dittmor, C.

Miss Lorna Sum-berg from the Y.W.C.A. and Miss Inez Thorsen advised the group. - The Y-Teens sponsored a wiener roast at the beginning of the year to welcome the new members. The fire was popular because of the cold weather. In October, they invited their mothers to a candlelight ceremony in which they installed the new members and officers. Tonka's girls enjoyed a style show which the group arranged, and for once the weather cooperated by providing snow for the annual Sno-Day which the Y-Teens sponsored. 84 Y-TEENS LEFT TO RIGHT: FIRST ROW: J.

During Thanksgiving vacation some of the members took part in the Y.W.C.A.'s tour of several Minnesota and Iowa colleges. Many reported that the highlight of the trip was going through a fraternity house at Iowa State. The Y-Teens also participated in the Hanging of the Greens ceremony or decorating the Y.W.C.A. building for Christmas.

HI-Y was a group of organizations established for the worthwhile development of young men in preparing them for future life. The members had many activities to accomplish these aims and had fun at the same time. There were speakers, parties, and athletic programs. One of their big service projects was planning and organizing the annual Thanksgiving Program which was held before the student body. The program presented Bob Ryan, NBC newscaster as master of ceremonies, student speakers, and the school chorus. The Hi-Y also prepared a basket of food to give to a less fortunate family on Thanksgiving. During Christmas vacation, the group planned a Christmas party for the Phyllis Wheatley Settlement House. Mr. William Newhall from the Y.M.C.A. advised the group. The officers were: Steve Whitney, president; Dave Anderson, vice-president; Carfield Brown, secretary; Jerry Martin, treasurer,- and Dave McCaffrey, chaplain. FTA LEFT TO RIGHT: FIRST ROW: T. Opfer.

The officers were: Susan Oare, president; Cathy Mahin, vice-president; Bonnie Stambaugh, secretary,-Tom Opfer, treasurer,- and Merry Barker, historian and librarian. Each member was installed October 26 at a candlelight ceremony held in the dining hall. In order to earn a pin, the symbol of the club, each member had to earn 30 points. These could be obtained by helping teachers after school or ushering at PTA meetings. Mr. William Nilsen, Superintendent of District 276, and Mr. Diers of Deephaven Junior High spoke to the group during the year. The FTA held a Christmas party where the members brought gifts for Santa Anonymous. Hoping to expand their knowledge of Homemaking beyond the topics learned in the Home Economics class, sixteen girls formed a Minnetonka chapter of the FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA. The officers chosen by the group were: Sue Dixon, president; Jeanette Emerson, vice-president; Linda Johnson, secretary,- Bonnie Hughes, treasurer,- and Bette Kroupa, historian. Mrs. Lessie Feichfinger guided the group through its first year.

Several programs were presented throughout the year: on Armistice Day, during the Christmas season, and in the spring. All the chorus concerts had the backing of the Minnetonka Music Association and the Christmas concert was sponsored by the Minnetonka PTA. Blossoms on the face of many a Tonka student marked the candy sale which was held to raise money for the annual chorus trip. Southern Minnesota was the destination this year. A council of two seniors, two juniors, and one sophomore was chosen to decide the particulars of the chorus trip, organize the candy sale, and take care of the general government of the chorus. The council was composed of: Penny Bevis, Jerry Palmer, Mike Czock, Charlanne Davies, and Richard Bell. Mr. Daniel Geldert, student-teacher from Augsburg, taught the chorus during the first part of the year and directed a few of the songs at the first program.

Mrs. Mary Millard and Mr. Howard Young were the advisors. The typical work-night in which the paper was put together found editors demanding typists and re-writes and the usual last-minute rush. The first page personnel will always remember the time none of its pictures could be found. Getting home after work-nights also presented a problem: how to give ten staff members a ride in one Volkswagon sedan. Besides the busy work-nights, the staff also handled the refreshment stand at football games and put on a canteen in January. VOYAGEUR LEFT TO RIGHT: FIRST ROW: L. Johnson. K. Anderson, A. Toavs, M.

That meant taking pictures and identifying them, writing copy, selling ads and all in time to meet four deadlines scattered throughout the year at inconvenient times. Heading the production were editor-in-chief, Bill Reutiman and assistant editor, Steve Henrikson. Working under them were section editors: Pam Ruff, classes,-Muriel Stoep, student life,- Pat Murphy, organizations,-Chris Laing, sports; Alson Toavs, business manager,-and Dave Lynas, art. Bob Johnson took charge of photography. Besides publishing a yearbook, the Voyageur staff sponsored a canteen: The Seaweed Wiggle, and held a workshop which acquainted all interested in the techniques employed in putting together a yearbook.

While other students were enjoying their summer vacation, the A-SQUAD CHEERLEADERS got together to plan a strategy that would lead Tonka's athletes to victory. Thirteen girls were chosen in the spring and divided into two squads. Leading cheers for the basketball and wrestling teams were seniors: Mary Hallberg, Bev Holtze, and Jayne Lokken; juniors: Debby Bolton and Roberta Staska; and alternates: Judy Sterny and Jean Simons. The football and hockey players were cheered toward victory by seniors: Dana Knutson, Martha Mase, and Karen Nelson; juniors: Janet Crouch, Rita Ridin-ger, and Laura Cummings, alternate. The duties of a Tonka cheerleader demanded more than just cheering at the games once or twice a week. With the help of their advisor. Miss Frances Wiitala, the girls also planned the Friday pepfests, sold tickets for the away games during lunch hours, and engineered a canteen, Frosty's Frolic, held in December. They attended a cheerleading clinic at Willmar where they learned new cheers and showed the delegates from other schools one of Tonka's cheers.

BELOW the Rousers ond Oscar offer Minnetonka's victory over Edino, 48—41. Colorful displays in the main hall every week were the work of Minnetonka's pep group, the ROUSERS. Besides the displays, the girls made additional posters announcing up-coming games and took chorge of a pepfest which preceded a Tonka win in basketball. During the fall they sponsored an all-school drive for old nylons which they used to stuff Oscar, the school mascot. Then, in tip-top shape, he attended all of the home games and cheered on the teams. The Rousers also orranged for buses which brought the fans to the Faribault tournaments in which the basketball team played during Christmas vacation. Leading the organization were officers: Linda Cunningham, president; Kathy Libbey, vice-president; Betsy Schwartz, secretary,- and Debbie Ferguson, treasurer. Kathy Mclnerny, Kathy Kiskinen, and Patty Lawson were special representatives of the senior, junior, and sophomore classes respectively. Nineteen girls from each class were chosen by writing papers on What I promise to do as a Tonka Rouser, and by the pep and enthusiasm they displayed. Initiation included a come-as-you-are breakfast party at Sue Lund's, and a day os a Rouser slave culminated by a dressing race at a fall pepfast. LEFT: SKIPPERETTES LEFT TO RIGHT: S. Felbor. J.

The group was organized to entertain the faculty and students which they did by performing original dances during half-time at football and basketball games. Members gained in poise and the ability to work as a unit. Try-outs were held in the spring for the first time this year in order to give the dancers additional time to practice during the summer months. Besides holding try-outs at Minnetonka, the judges went to the junior highs to inspect the up-coming sophomores on their dancing ability, poise, appearance, and enthusiasm. Junior, Bonnie Bravo acted as head choreographer. In addition, other members were encouraged to work up new routines and teach them to the group. Standouts in this year's repertoire were: Hot 'N' Tot and When My Baby Smiles at Me. Mrs. Mary Donovan advised the group. Preparing for numbers meant practice in precision kicks, steps, and acrobats.

The M-CLUB was a group of lettermen who organized to promote athletics within Minnetonka and establish closer relations between the lettermen and the student body. This meant the faculty-varsity and the inter-team basketball games, the Yule Yump canteen, and working toward the purchasing of a camera for the athletic department.

SKI-CLUB finally got a break. For the first time in five years there was enough snow for skiing regularly. Many of the members took advantage of the reduced rates at Moon Valley in Shakopee and went skiing several Thursdays. During Christmas vacation some of the Ski-Club members took part in a day of skiing at Mount Telemark in Wisconsin. In charge of the year's events were officers-. Lucy Savage, president; John Briggs, vice-president; and Pam Ruff, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Nicholas Duff was the enthusiastic advisor. In the fall, Mr. Gyre, the owner of Tatra's Ski Shop, showed the club films of his skiing trip in Colorado. Later in the year he arranged for the Ski-Club to take a trip to Colorado and try the skiing facilities itself. The big event of the year was the ski trip fo Colorodo and it  now.

Football during 1961, had the most ups and downs in the history of the sport at Minnetonka. The five-won, four-lost record demonstrates the season accurately. One week the team could not be beat; the week following the tables were reversed. Minnetonka had probably the smallest team, as far as size was concerned, in the conference. The starting line, averaging about 190 pounds, had good speed but it just couldn't hold up under some of the other lines in the conference. Both the line and backfield were plagued by injuries throughout the season which served to add to the team's problems. Minnetonka can definitely look forward to a fine season next year. With Bruce Peik and Jim Wilson back as captains, a strong contingent of juniors, and promising sophomores, coach Christesen can look forward to being a title contender.

Captains Beise and Maass; coaches Christesen and Bo-sackcr. 104 B Cqutd The post few seasons, Minnetonka's B-Squad has done quite well, while the resulting varsity team has often been a disappointment. This year, however, a successful varsity for '64 should result, according to the season's record of one win against six losses. The value of the B-Squad cannot be underestimated, of course. Without it and the Junior Varsity, started this year, Minnetonka would be fielding teams which were raw and unexperienced. No one can say how many varsity victories the program has brought to our school. Perhaps a little more support is due these future gridiron greats. f , P 'J k' •c.'V s k s r t i a p vV V y y f{y r • y f t t, PfM V  V H 1,-1 f'V b h w r v- (l r Season’s Qco j Tonka ... ... 7 Wayzata .. 13 Tonka ... ... 0 Robbinsdale . . . . ... 6 Tonka ... . . . 6 Hopkins . . 7 Tonka ... ... 19 Bloomington . . . . .. 6 Tonka ... . . . 6 Richfield ... 16 Tonka ... ... 13 Edina .. 19 Tonka . . . ... 14 St. Louis Park . . . ...39 tr H f BACK ROW; Kon Johnson, M.

Cmi 's Twist, Coach Christ reviews his strotcgy. The Skipper's basketball team had a tough season. The team had experience in five returning starters, but they suffered from lack of height. There was a lot of individual ability but the boys had trouble working os a team. They did play some fine ball and win some exciting games. One highlight was the one point victory over Robbinsdale in the first game of the season. Leadership was supplied by Tom Christ and George Hallin, co-captains. These boys along with Grant Beise, John Hoffmeister, Alan Comer, Mike Garaghty, and junior Gary Sundem played hard every game and showed a lot of ability. The scoring was evenly balanced between all the fellows. There was no one Star to single out as ability was comparatively even throughout the team. The B-Squad, too, had its ups and downs. They scored, among others, two fine wins over Bloomington,- the second coming before a capacity crowd on Sno-Day. The Varsity is coached by Earl Christ and the B-Squad coach is Einar Anderson. These were the highlights of a season offering promise for the future. 106 Two points for Tonko os we roll over Edino! but Ufts k George ond Tom combine on o fast break effort. Tonka . . .

The season began in early November with early morning practices at the Ice Center and the Thanksgiving Day game with Roosevelt. The conference schedule opened with a win over Robbinsdale. The team's fourth place tie with Bloomington with in final standings was highlighted by ties with Richfield, conference champs, and Edina, the runner-up. There was fine spirit and effort put forth throughout the team for the entire year. Additional leadership was provided by cocaptains, Bill Woodley and Bob Leaf. When, toward the end of the season. Bob and Dave Bowers were awarded all-conference honors, each member felt as though it were conferred upon him also. Next year, coach Roger Leak and assistant John Elliot con look forward to another successful season with the return Craig Schaeffer, Jeff Carlson, and Butch Heger. These boys are some of the fruits of the midget program organized several years ago. Bob and Georg© out-hustle Trojan opponent. 109 Qu yce sfjub Qm ow Proctice mokes perfect. no Tonka .. .

Tonka's wrestling team enjoyed a successful season under the able leadership of A and B squad coaches Ray Christesen and Chuck Bosacker. Co-captains Bob Ramstead and Bill Sage spirited the team to decisive victories marred by consecutive losses to state champion Robbinsdale, Hopkins and St. Louis Park. Co-captain Sage was unable to participate in several matches because of a knee injury, but Ramstead's predicted prowess on the mat provided some compensation for Sage's loss. Other injury incurred by Craig Egge and Jim Wilson failed to stop Tonka in its most decisive conference victory of the season, a 50 to 7 slaughter of Wayzata. Doug Bevis, Vance Mikkelson, John Oakley and Jim Wilson were important contributors to Tonka's victory column. The B squad, although not quite as successful as its senior organization, includes some promising young wrestlers. Those prominent in junior mat play were Mike Mallard, Ken Smith and Jerry Wheeler. These boys combined with increasing popularity and attendance are good insurance for a successful wrestling future at Tonka.

Coach Lynn Krafve, the team completed the most successful season in Minnetonka's cross country history. Jim Munns stood out as the individual star as he moved to sixth place in the state meet. Cross country is carried on in the fall and run over a 1.8 mile course, providing ample opportunity for conditioning for other sports as well. FENCING at Minnetonka is associated with the American Fencers League of America and is under the supervision of Mr. Paul Dahl. Minnetonka is the only high school in the state with a fencing team and must, therefore, seek matches with anyone willing to participate with them. This has led the team into contests with the Minneapolis YMCA and a University of Minnesota team which they foiled with a 16 to 9 victory. KNEELING: S. Pitfel, J. Kroupa, M. Stoep, F. Moyer, J.

INTRAMURALS had one of its most active years this year at Tonka. Among other accomplishments, the organization and completion of the first successful football season stands out. Basketball activities consisted of two leagues, each playing its own schedule, and a final round-robin tournament between leagues at the end of the season. Advised by Mr. Baker and under direction of the I.M. board, consisting of Jerry Martin, Steve Whitney, Brad Swanson, and Doug Bevis, the group achieved its goal of the promotion of athletics for the benefit of all, regardless of ability. Yes, we will long remember the B.O. Boys and their arch rivals the No Sweats. 116 Teamwork is learned, and victory is the result. The GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION is the only opportunity for the girls of Minnetonka to learn of the benefits derived from athletic participation. They often travel to various schools in the conference which sponsor play days in which girls from different schools get together providing extra competition and enjoyment. Activities included in the program this year were soccer, basketball, swimming, trampoline, volleyball, and softball. The group also teamed up with the cheerleaders to put on an after game canteen. This is the only activity in which a girl may earn a letter besides cheerleading. They are earned by senior girls who compile a certain number of points through participation in group and individual compefion during the after school hours. The adviser for the girls was Miss Wiitala. A lot of competitive spirit is generated in a G.A.A. bosket-boll game. £t io tC| mack FIRST ROW: 0. Johnson, D. Blackowiok, M. Einspohr, J. Shrode, S.

Uncfe t the Under the Magnolias was the theme of the banquet presented to the graduating class of 1962 by the juniors.

After opening speeches were delivered by Doug Bevis, Gary Sundem, Mark Scholle and Reverend Laidig, dinner was served by a precision team of junior belles. Dinner entertainment was provided by The Harry Habata Trio. After-dinner entertainment was also started off by Harry Habata and his accordion plus volunteers from the senior class.

This year the Wayzato Country Club glittered with decorations centered around the theme, 'Twilight Time. Balloons hung from the ceiling along with moons and stars on which each couple's name was printed. Behind the band, the shining Twilight Time completed the scene. Couples began arriving at the Club about nine o'clock. At ten, all the couples lined up for the Grand March. Each couple marched down the center of the room as their names were announced. Following this, the couples continued to dance to the music of the Tony Grise Band. The magic hour of twelve found everyone leaving the dance and heading for the three open houses which were to round out the evening. They were held at Rita Ridinger's, Joan Naegele's, and Leslie Peterson's. At three o'clock all tired couples finally turned toward their homes, cheerfully admitting that the rain had failed to ruin the evening. Morning came extremely early but failed to beat the juniors and seniors for they had been up and were now starting out from home again. The scene was now one of comfortable bermudas or jeans, and the destination was Taylor's Falls, or some other popular picnicing place. Wherever paths headed, the sun was there waiting. Mr. Weatherman pulled through for a perfect ending to a perfect week-end! 135 On June 8, many years of work and preparation came to an end for the senior class. The commencement exercises began with Pomp And Circumstance, played by the MHS Band. The Reverend Wayne Hoyle presented the invocation, followed by, William O. Nilsen, superintendent of schools, who introduced the senior speakers. Peter Kennedy gave the first speech, Developing the Individual, immediately followed by William Reutiman speaking on Don't Fear Failure, and Susan Moyle on Mind and Music. At this point the MHS chorus sang its final numbers of the year. The last speakers were Brian Maass, Meeting the Challenge, John Hoffmeister, Our School's Creative Responsibility, and Susan Schoell, The Importance of the Individual. The Class Memorials were next presented by Mark Scholle. The moment finally came when Harold I. Larson, Principal, presented the class of 1962 and Kruger Libbey, representing the School Board, awarded the diplomas. Commencement exercises came to a close with the benediction by The Reverend Oscar Winzerling and the recessional played by the Minnetonka Band. Mark and Mrs. Larson discuss an organizational dotail concerning commencement while George receives feminine advice from Dana and Pat.
