After winning six dual meets and placing third in a triangle and first in a quad-team meet, the boys advanced to the district, and later the regional meet. At the regional, Ken Bergman set a new record of 8:48. Next year’s squad will be supported by returning lettermen Mike Steiner, Dale Granger, Doug White, and Rod Olson, who will be trying to fill the shoes of seniors Lynn Hammond, Ken Bergman, and Perry Oaks. SKI TEAM In intcrscholastic skiing competition there arc three events in which an athlete may compete. The slalom event requires quick reflexes and rapid turning ability. Good endurance is a prerequisite for the cross-country course. A jumper needs good form and nerve. After five Lake Conference meets, the team went to Duluth for the state meet. Bill Owen won the first of two runs in the slalom event but was disqualified on the second. FIRST ROW: A. lire . G. Thomp on. J. Peter ©n SECOND ROWi J. Motlmon. M. Olund. T. Peder»on THIRD ROW: T.

Minnetonka can expect some good basketball teams in the future judging from spirited cagcrs on the “B” squad. Once again coached by Eincr Anderson, the boys displayed a game by game improvement. An interesting oddity is that on all but t yo occasions, the “B” squad victories and defeats paraded those of the varsity.

VARSITY HOCKEY The interest in hockey skyrocketed this yc r undoubtedly due to Coach Leak’s fine team of icemen representing Minnetonka. With a thirteen man squad, Tonka compiled a pleasing 9—4—3 record. The season was off to a good start with a tally of four wins and no losses until we met Richfield who, like Edina, proved to be a nuisance all season. For several days Minnetonka rested first in the Lake Conference because of a 1—1 tic between Richfield and Edina. Surprisingly, lowly ranked Mound and Wayzata proved strong opposition to the puck-sters. Mound was able to produce a 1 — 1 tic under a mass volley of flying pucks that “just wouldn’t go in.’’ Wayzata proved to be a jinx and we had to settle for two 1 — 1 ties. In the last game of the season, Edina was barely able to escape defeat from Tonka’s determination and hard skating. Bobbie Tietz loses the puck against the boards in a game against Wayzata. 30 FIRST ROW: 8. Alton, T. Cormier, J. Efnler, G. Mo iman. B. Baker. S. Hon-Jon, D. Bower . SECOND ROWi Mgr. J.
