Center right: The structure of Minnetonka never seems to change, but the atmosphere inside the walls is unique and reflects what a year we had! a student publication Voyageur Friendly, unique, growing in our own way; living the way we were brought up and loving the place we live in. We know what it's like to escape on the water, being alone under the setting sun, watching, waiting, listening and thinking about the things we hold. It’s different here at Minnetonka, in both living and learning. We live unique lives and the will to learn is very tremendous. The things we do. we do well, and it’s experiences that make us grow. The beautiful waters of Minnetonka outline many of the lives here. They provide entertainment, study material, and most of all pleasure. We make the best of our time, knowing that there are many things from which we can benefit. There are many things we work for, both as individuals and as groups, and we try to reach for the top. Sometimes we receive praise, such as in State Titles, and other times we’re working for self gratification. Not only the things at Minnetonka are special, but the people are, too. Many of the people we live with and learn from are our parents, teachers and friends, who also find life in Minnetonka rewarding. We feel lucky here at Minnetonka because of all the things that are special and are ours alone. We enjoy living for good things, and life in Minnetonka makes it easy to . . . live. 2 Cpenmg Section what to try for, and what to pass up.

Opening Section 3 4 Opening Section Faces new places The first day of Senior High School finally arrived, and all the sophomores got to check out a new and different lifestyle. They had always heard so much about the high school, and at last they could check it out themselves. With schedules in hand, some pretty skeptical faces were seen coming off the buses. They all tried to look so calm and collected, not realizing that everyone knew they were terrified! One thing for sure, a good number of sophomores were familiar with the essentials after a very short time. The a la carte room, jock hall, attendance area and the crisis room were among the first to it was a living, learning experience be discovered. Many were amazed to find a place designated for smoking. The sophomores, with bewildered faces, noticed that everyone else looked so distinguished and experienced. They all soon had their crushes on the senior hunks, and the boys were quickly catching on to things. With lots of spirit and enthusiasm, along with the will to learn, it didn't take the sophomores long to adjust. It was good to have them a part of M.H.S.__________________________ PAGE 4 — Center left: A new problem at Minnetonka: 40 minutes of waiting finally results in a ride home.

Opening Section 5 [’ 6 Opening Section it's more than leaps and bounds What’s Some people’s idea of a “Skipper’' |is one who misses all their classes, others immediately think of someone who moves in light leaps and bounds, while still others believe it is a person who stands by the shores of Lake Minnetonka tossing flat rocks across the water. It's about time that people find out what a Minnetonka Skipper really is! One thing that's true is that many of :hem can be found either in, on, or around Lake Minnetonka. Minnetonka Skippers can be seen everywhere doing what they love most. Some do things in groups, in pairs or by themselves; but there is something to do for everyone. Tennis, sailing, hiking, eating, cruising, laughing, parties, and friends are some of the favorites; ... others are as individual as the person himself. Each person makes of life what they want — and the juniors are well on their way. They still have time for fun before college preparations are to be started, and this is a great time to take last plunges into things. The juniors made it through their first two years, and now they’re going for three, attempting things they always wanted to do, but were afraid to try. The juniors will be fantastic leaders in years to come.

Opening Section 7 8 Opening Section So far so fast tomorrows oecome today At last we were Seniors, the oldest and the wisest; but where did time go? Only yesterday we came through the doors for the first time — well mannered, inquisitive and easy to get along with. We earned our reputation and accomplished our goal — graduation! From this day forward when we go through the doors of it will never be the same as it was before. The change was gradual. The once “free” hours became decision times concerning the future. The once “fun money was set aside for college or the future. We are now a product of our experiences as we leave Minnetonka's doors to see what other doors we can open. In our shadow will be the close friends we made, and the good times we shared, and all the things we want never to be forgotten. To be a senior was something we always dreamed about, now it’s time for others to dream, as we leave only memories behind. Perhaps, the thought of graduating is full of mixed feelings, but one thing for sure is that high school will be remembered by all.

Homecoming is a time for the reuniting of old friends, familiar faces, friendly smiles and maybe even a teardrop or two. But not rain. When the alumni returned to Minnetonka for the big game they found their plans to be somehwat disappointing. Everyone was fired up for the 1977 Homecoming but the weather was obviously not on Tonka’s side. This year’s Homecoming was different from any Homecoming 13 other year in the past. For the first time our Queen had a King by her side to escort her. Both royalties were selected by the student body after voting and revoting for the candidates of their choice.

Many devoted people contributed hours to creating slogans that showed each group had unlimited school spirit. But due to unsuitable weather conditions, the v__________________________________ usual Excelsior parade had to be eliminated. It ended with each group feeling that their creation had gone unnoticed and left out. A week after Homecoming was over many floats were still sitting in garages waiting for the day when they would be discovered. It’s too bad that the soggy weather had to spoil Tonka’s ’77 Homecoming school spirit. The senior float never made it out of Kris Ratliff’s driveway. Washed cut Wednesday night at the Coronation, the process of crowning the Queen and King seemed so simple. Except for the fact that last year’s Queen was delayed and the band entertained the audience by playing on and on, waiting for her arrival. Before the game on Friday a parade is annually held through Excelsior and halftime festivities are held on the track. But the rescheduling and cancelling of the parade because of weather had everyone describing it as being “All washed out! The rain clouds and soggy field caused the game to be postponed until the following Saturday, where dark clouds and sprinkles still hovered over the small but dedicated group of fans. No balloons or frisbees were sold but the Skippers still held their spirit and “Sailed over the Tigers successfully with a Saturday victory. On Saturday night many couples Homecoming 15 attended small dinner parties or went out to eat at nice restaurants, before they went to the dance. Many found their Stairway to Heaven,” which was the theme this year. With a variety of good music and endless energy, they danced and danced. Homecoming of 'll was not a total wash out. In fact the deluge was forgotten and the memories are something which will long be remembered. PAGE 14 — Lower left: Billy Piwnica, No. 10, kept the team above the mud.

The students of M.H.S. began celebrating the minute the snow melted off the trees. But the majority of the seniors found time to spend with their class mates, for that “One last fling!” The 1977 Prom was a formal event that attracted many to the Lafayette Club, but not to the after prom, which had been cancelled because of lack of participation. We can’t forget Graduation. The day that all of the seniors had been waiting for twelve long years, finally came. Relief, happiness, excitement and fear were felt by the new graduates. All of these were a part of ’77 Graduation. So were honors. Students earned recognition for their outstanding abilities. A special night was devoted to these people, where they received honors and respect from the audience and M.H.S. So, you can see, when the snow starts melting away again, the seniors of Minnetonka High School begin to get the disease known as “Spring Fever.” Once it sets in, they seek new horizons and prepare for the many tomorrows.

The most challenging musical ever produced by MHS students and definitely one of the most rewarding, defines the 1977 spring musical entitled Where’s Charley. As experiences pass us by, memories tend to fade. But those of Where’s Charley will not soon be forgotten. Total dedication to a cause is what makes perfection, and those that know what it means to give Your All could possibly Musical 19 identify with the feelings that cast and crew shared during those twelve weeks of practicing and polishing. Backstage, on every one of the six nights of performance, excitement of listening for that first downbeat of the ovation, and encouragement at all times were the things that held them together. Times of sadness accompanied closing night, as trying to hold on to things passing by never works. Saying good-bye to Brian Halleen, and trying to make this last play” something both he, Joan Larson, and Reed Peterson could be proud of was a goal never misplaced. As the curtain closed for the last time, tears came to everyone but as it opened once again, they turned to tears of joy, for the audience in the auditorium of MHS was standing and the applause was a very special thank you to those who had given so much.

This year, gaining experience in that interesting area was Jeff Johnson with assistance from Eric Holmgren who cast “The Death and Life of Sneaky Fitch,” and Scott Korzenowski and David Williams were put in charge of “A Thurber Carnival.” Once it was decided who was going to be whom, the rest began. Those who have never had the opportunity to be in a play may not realize that there is more to putting on a show than just getting out there on opening night and playing “make-believe” for a couple of hours. A sense of humor was definitely a requirement, as being able to laugh at your mistakes to improve the show. In every show there was always a certain amount of “Trial and Tribulations” the directors and cast members were forced to wade through, if only to laugh at later. There was always Jim Ross tossing peanut shells all over the stage, as well as the time the music stopped when it wasn't supposed to! For many students at Minnetonka having the opportunity to be in the cast of one or more of the plays was an experience they would not have traded for anything! That feeling of being out there on the stage, creating a character is one that they could describe perfectly. And given the chance, they could probably tell you a whole lot more!

Well, starting with a gradual eye opener, the next step is to get ready for a day at M.H.S. During the day, much of her time is spent studying, eating, laughing and perhaps even a little gossiping. Shopping at Ridgedale, Wayzata or even a venture Downtown supplies them with fashionable clothes and keeps them busy after school and on weekends, spending money. Many of the girls hold part time jobs, which tend to be somewhat of a demand on their time. With some variations the high school girl finds herself doing close to the same things, day after day. Even though their personalities and lifestyles are different. Out of bed, into the shower, at last awake. Guys usually can get ready for school faster than girls, which gives them a little more time to eat! Next, it’s out to their cars to burn a little rubber around the school grounds and barely making it to their first hour classes. With car at hand, every spare moment is used wisely to calculate the time it would take them to get to Taco Shoppe and back during their 35 minute lunch period. Maybe two school lunches or a bag lunch from home would satisfy his appetite instead. After school the a 7.CC ■ : � M i :3C Day in the Life of; 23 day in the life f: bus schedule conflicts caused the sport activities to start later in the afternoon.

Everybody needs somebody sometime and it’s good to know that you have someone to depend on. It’s not only couples that can have relationships, but teammates and classmates as well. Relationships are rewarding as well as comforting. People become close by learning and exploring things together and therefore getting satisfaction out of the same things. It feels good to know that someone can experience mutual joy with you. To have a relationship with someone is to be willing to share feelings with one another. It is two or more people that hurt, smile and relate with one another. Everything seems to go a little easier with someone by your side and just knowing that someone is close by makes things look brighter.

People generally liked to get involved and cheer for their school, but there were those who showed no interest. How many people knew the words to the school song, or even wanted to know? Did people support the athletes that competed all year? Each year the spirit is different, determined by the student body and their attitudes toward the school. In most cases, it has been the juniors and seniors with all the spirit, but during the 77-78 school year, the sophomores proved the past to be wrong. They formed a spirit committee and attempted to be recognized b' holding regular meetings to organize plans and to accomplish what they had set out to do. Buttons displaying the great class cf 1980 were sold outside of the commons, generally just trying to ge everyone involved. At the beginnin j of the year, there were those w io may have asked: “What’s a sophomore?”, but as the year progressed, they realized that the sophomores were the ones who really knew how to show that they cared.

Teen-age discos began popping up for younger crowds all over the cities. Discotrek,” a take-off on Star Wars, was built in f.agan right around the time that Saturday Night Fever” hit the movie screens, and it was just what the kids seemed to need. For once, trying to get into Uncle Sam’s with a phony I.D., was no longer necessary. Disco music drifted over into school sponsored dances as well. The Christmas dance was a disco first at M.H.S., when we danced to records instead of a band. Clothes created by disco-goers gave meaning to the old saying: Imitation is the best form of flattery. You wouldn’t dream of going out on the town to boogie in a pair of Levis and a sweater. Instead, clothing manufacturers created disco-wear for up and coming disco maniacs, consisting of silky, satiny dresses worn with high thin heeled shoes and three piece vested suits, all of which were supposedly to make you appear to be right in the height of fashion. It used to be that Homecoming and Prom were slow PAGE 28 — Top left: The band •‘Ryzer played at a few of the school dances.

Satisfied for the moment, classes were bearable and at times enjoyable, until visions of Quesadillas began to dance in our heads, and we could hardly wait for chemistry to end, so we could get down to the basic ‘elements' of lunch, and head for the Taco Shoppe. Not going “out for lunch, actually was one of those rules we were suppose to abide by, but we were blissful in our ignorance and broke it whenever we just couldn’t Food is just one of those things — it's always on the brain! It seemed as though we were continuously hungry, from our waking moments until we fell into bed at night. With these common feelings of compatible starvation, Mtka. ala carte room ladies did all that they could to keep the edge off that gnawing ache for milk and a Hostess cherry pie, by keeping those shelves well-stocked.

With parties, trips, and friends — Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and Spring Vacation were some of the highlights of the year. Halloween was celebrated with costume parties and disguised faces. It was fun to see all the people involved and willing to participate. One of the parties was at Stratford Wood. Packing all the dressed-up bodies into a room full of food and music turned out to be a great and wild night, only to be shortened when the boy’s bathroom door was knocked down. Christmas was brought on with the traditional colors, songs and decorations. There were some caroling parties and people got together to exchange gifts. It was good to get away from school for awhile, and following the Christmas parties were the New Year’s parties — bringing in the great 78! Valentines Day arrived on schedule. Pinks, reds, and whites were the abundant colors seen through the hall. But an occasional hot purple carnation, which meant passion, was seen by a few. It was the day to remember the people you love and ask them to be your Valentine. Spring Vacation — it went too fast. Using this week to catch up on things or maybe leave Minnesota, it is generally the best time of the year. Everyone was sick of school and needed a break to get away for awhile. One good thing about being a senior was being able to go on vacations without mom or dad. Many seniors took advantage of this by escaping to such places as Mexico, Jamaica, Arizona, California, Colorado and the ever popular Florida! Maybe it was the holidays that kept a lot of people going throughout the year. Holidaze 33 F GE 32 — Top left: Santa, our own Doc • nith, and his helpers John Burns and C. J. iderson.

Where did all the money go? Take for instance, concerts. Everyone liked a concert now and then, and some more than others. During the year there were a good number of concerts to choose from. Hall and Oates, Doobie Brothers, Crosby-Stills and Nash, Earth-Wind-and-Fire, Kiss, Shawn Phillips and Neil Diamond were just a few of the concerts that attracted Minnetonka fans. Everyone seemed to be talking about the concerts the next day and exchanging opinions, that is if they made it to school. Parties were also a big thing around Minnetonka. On Friday nights everyone wanted to know who was having a party. People were daring to have parties because they could expect to find half the school at their house, not to mention the fact that they would probably lose many things. Everyone liked to see and meet new people, and who could think of a better place than at a party. Some of them were strictly invitational, or at least that’s the way they started out. The majority of the parties were composed of sophomores, juniors and seniors alike. There were also some holiday parties which helped to celebrate Christmas and Halloween. Whenever there was a Kicks or Vikings game, people immediately thought of tailgating. People spent almost as much time in the parking lot as they did in the stadium. Besides eating, people did their own thing, like playing soccer, throwing the football around and tossing the frisbees. But who danced? Everyone did now and then. Whether it was at a school canteen or a drive to the Paradise Ballroom. People danced by themselves, in pairs and in groups. There were many different dances at the school wrist action Weekends 35 that ranged from the rock scene to the 50's style. Some didn’t like to dance. But for those who did, they knew where to find it. And if nothing could be found to do at all, well, they tried another school district. They cruised Hopkins.

This is very important, but then again so are the events of national news which helped create a nostalgic atmosphere. Since most students were interested in the entertainment world, we must remember that 1977 brought us the unforgettable movie “Star Wars,” which was the biggest money-maker of all times. It is because of this spectacular movie the “force” is with us and will be for a long time. For the comedy fans, Steve Martin seemed to start a new fad with his winning way. Laverne and Shirley became the biggest T.V. show so that probably explains what Tonka students spent their time doing on Tuesday nights instead of studying like they should have been. Andy Gibb reached the top of the charts with his single — “I Just Want to be Your Everything but we can’t forget how Debbie Boone lit up our lives with her hit “You Light Up My Life.” Seven million copies of posters with the most famous face in America were sold with the royalties going to the fallen angel Farrah Fawcett.” Meanwhile, Fleetwood Mac climbed the charts for half the year and sold millions of their popular album “Rumors.” Another new fad got its beginning in America in 1977, when “punk rock” was introduced. As you can see 77-78 sure added a lot to the entertainment of the public. But the year also brought loss of many important people, such as Freddie Prinze, the much loved and truly admired Bing Crosby, and our State senator Hubert Humphrey. But we all will remember 1977 as the year that Elvis Presley died. The “King” was gone and the whole world was in mourning over this tragedy. How about the news of Anita Bryant and her fight against the gay liberation. Son of Sam was the forty-five caliber killer and the mystery of his case seemed to terrify the whole nation. The star of the “Exorcist” Linda Blair was busted on a cocaine charge, which makes us all wonder if the making of the movie might PAGE 36 — Top: The “Spy Who Loved Me another James Bond 007 movie.

President Carter promised to communicate with the public, which he seemed to do with his fireside talks. The year also brought to an end the tedious job of building the Alaskan pipeline. Sadat, president of Egypt, was voted man of the year by ‘'Time magazine for proposing peace agreements between the Arabs and the Isralies. In July of 1977, New York experienced a black-out that had effects on the whole state. Rod Carew, of the Minnesota Twins, was voted baseball’s best hitter of the year. The dreadful plane crash in the Canary Islands left scars that will never be erased. A year to remember. That’s 1977-78, all the tears and all the laughter — that’s how we’ll remember the years.

Aja 40 Fads and Fashions Tonka’s DC’S dcirts Fads and Fashions 41 In the Tonka society, how we looked played an awful important role. It seems that every year styles change and the popular trends of ’77-’78 tended to show themselves all through the halls at MHS. The most comfortable and most worn seemed to be Lee cords, jeans, turtlenecks, oxford shirts, docksiders, tennis shoes, painter pants, khaki pants, and flannel shirts, but some, more often than not, were in the mood to dress up. Girls favored bow blouses and plaid skirts, blazers, stickpins, dressy pants, jumpers and ribbons, while you could see the guys wearing tucked-in shirts and vests, many times out-dressing the girls! A good number of the people considered outer-wear as important as every day indoor attire. Down jackets and vests were seen in every color, but there was also always a good share of guys in letter jackets and caps, too. Fads were things that caught on quickly and stuck around for a fairly short time. Movies, diets, broomball, on Saturday nights, and foosball were just a few of the most popular. The majority of the school found their fashion niche, whatever it happened to be, whether it was what we wore or what we did, and gained a bit of individuality for our efforts. Modeling '77'78 fashions are; PAGE 40 — Top left: Skipper Wyre and Rick Mills. Top right: Linda Seifert. Lower left: Carolyn Arndt, Karen Hickey, Jeff Larson, and Mary Dyste. Lower right: Gerry Asp.

Wear what you're comfortable in — pick your favorite shoe. The pants of the year? Khakis from the Foursome were a definite trademark at Tonka. 42 Sadie Hawkins Grab in partner women’s lib prevails On Friday, February 17th, there was a turn around at M.H.S. Early in the week, many girls found themselves planning for Sadie Hawkins. It was the girls turn to pay for the evening out, and whether they were taking their regular boyfriends, pals or propositions they wanted to make it a fun night. The rousers planned the Sadie Hawkins dance which attracted many people in their overalls, some with pigtalis, bandanas, and freckles. Other couples skipped the dance completely and dressed up to go to a fancy restaurant for the evening. Then there were those who planned to go to the dance, but never got there for some reason or another. When planning Sadie Hawkins 43 for Sadie, some girls wanted to keep things casual. Cate DiNapoli, or dinner parties were a good setting for the night. Many girls had their favorites. They chose to bring their dates to places like Anchor Inn, T. Butcherblock, Lord Fletchers, Pracnaon-main, Amalgamated and Steak and Ale. Some went as far and as high as the 50th floor of the I.D.S., dining at the Orion Room. It turned out to be an exciting night for most. After all, how many guys wouldn’t love a night out on the town, free? PAGE 42 — Top left: Some people got into the beat of a square dance.

Since September we had watched summer turn into fall, and eventually the snow signalled winter. Amidst homework and school five days a week — all without a break (with the exception of a few long weekends thrown in to keep the ‘'natives” from getting restless!). There were those of us who loved the prospect of two weeks with nothing to do except catch up on the soaps, partying PAGE 44 — Lower left: In the winter Lake Minnewashta offers the freedom of wide open spaces to race full out and to go wherever you please. Bill Macklin takes off. Middle: Steve Segner glides along over the snow enjoying a sport that has gained much popularity in the past few years.

Hawkins tumbled in the snow to rest after an exhausting night of tobagganing. PAGE 45 — Orono Golf Course is one of the best places around Minnetonka to slide in the winter. The long steep hills are the most popular around. B. Burton, T. Holmgren, B. Fisher, J. Moser, H. Carisch, and D. Lee spent a Friday night there sliding until they had to quit because of the freezing temperature. Afterwards they went to Perkin’s to warm up. away the nights, and heading for the slopes when we got ski-mania. The falling of snow and the celebration atmosphere each flake brought with it, usually was just what was needed to get our skis out of hibernation. Then into the shops to get waxed, all in anticipation of that first chair lift ride to the top of the run, jumping off and heading for the bottom, only to get in line once again. Other people, instead of breaking out the skis, broke out the sleds and headed for the hills at Orono Golf continued Winter Activities 45 46 Sno Days flaky continued _______snowy days__________ Course for the ride of their life. Snow also brought in snowmen as well as Sno Days. Although spring fever was familiar to most, Minnetonka had its own technique for capturing that same feeling in the dull winter months. Sno Days was a time to escape the winter doldrums and release that energy that had been stored much too long. The faculty also got into the spirit of things during the faculty contest for dressing 50’s, all two of them! Many activities were planned for the week of Sno Days. Sno king and queen nominations went smoothly, ending with the traditional crowning ceremony which took place at “Snofest ’78.” Friday was the most fun. It was set aside for Blue and White Day. It was then that those who had school spirit were recognized merely by the color of the clothes they had on. Competitive games of broomball followed the Snofest for those who dared to forge out into the bitter cold with only an old broom to protect themselves. Sno Days just wouldn’t have been the same without the greased back hair, bobby socks, leather jackets, and pleated skirts that arrived at the dance. Contests of swallowing anything from root beer to goldfish highlighted the hop but for the spectators, the dance contest was No. 1. The week of Sno Days ’78 at Minnetonka appeared to be the cure for the winter blues. PAGE 46 — Left: Kathy Howell and John Pendelton were named king and queen of 1978.

Others were, 10th Jamie Ginther, Ann Hawkins, Jeff Seeger, 11 th Eric Peterson, Brad Erickson, 12th Kim Churchill, Rosann Hagen, Jeff Sears and Casey Kruger. Each candidate wore his or her version of the 50's. Skateboarding Sailing Riding It’s not only a fun hobby, it’s transportation as well. Sophomore Steve Klein got into skateboarding two years ago and is still with it. He tried out some banks at an old warehouse and went as far as Edina to skateboard at the indoor park. He tries to practice as much as possible but it’s a long way out to Edina. Someday, if Steve gets good enough, he hopes to enter in tournaments. But at present he just plans to improve on the talents that he has and keep skateboarding for fun. Jimmy Gluek was a junior this year. Ever since his brother introduced sailing to him. Lake Minnetonka has been Jimmy's home away from home. Jimmy has owned a boat since he was ten and, along with the rest of his family, loves to race and participate in the many regattas. In his biggest race, the Inland regatta, he placed high. His racing has taken him throughout the Midwest and I’m sure we will be seeing more of him out on the lake. Ask Heidi Carish what she does 3-4 hours every other day and most of the weekend. She’ll answer “riding my horse,’’ but it’s more than just riding. She was a State Champ! Heidi, being a sophomore, got an early start with horses, and won State in ’76. Her horse, Domino, won the State Championship in ’77. It’s quite a drive to Maple Plain, where she rides at Leawood Farms and gets Domino ready for showing during the summers, but Heidi enjoys the long drive and the diligent practicing, because it pays off. Ballet, Jazz, disco, and Latin American — Carmen Brooks dances them all and she loves it. Carmen was a very outgoing sophomore and to say the least, an excellent dancer. Before she dances in public. Carmen practices at home in front of her large bedroom mirror. This allows her to see her movements, and correct them if necessary. Besides practicing on her own, she attends dance classes whenever she can. Christy Robertson is No. 1. Both of her parents helped her a lot with her studies, which more than likely had something to do with her class rank. Christy was 1 academically in her junior class of 78. She is not yet sure about her future, but one of her favorite classes in 78 was chemistry. When she got sick of studying, she simply quit. Contrary to what many people may think, Christy did not spend all of her time studying. She belonged to the 4H club, marching band, worked at Fox Herfurth’s at 7-Hi. Tony Woitalla and Doug Bright were two sophomores active in the Children’s Theatre this year. They provided their own transportation and commuted from MHS to the theatre school on a daily basis. Their class consisted of thirty kids from all over the cities. The areas of study were pantomime, movements, singing and gymnastics. Both of the boys have high hopes of pursuing a career in acting. When asked why, they replied, “It gives you a feeling of accomplishment and a personal victory.” Dancing Brains Theatre 50 Afjdeniu:s Academics 51 52 Art Faculty A-G Picture it! DOUBLE TAKE Artist: Rick Phillips The art work of Rick Phillips seemed to become more familiar each day. His particular style was one that was appreciated and admired by all. Rick said that he enjoys all forms of art. Why was he so interested in art? It made not only himself feel good, but also those around him. Drama is another area that Rick is very interested in. He was in many plays during his three years at Mtka. He is hoping the future will hold for him a good education at a fine art school and then a successful career in the arts. L. fevChtingc K.

Scott Fitzgerald. Creativity moved the year to an end, day by day, idea by idea. Mtka. art courses gave students opportunities to express how they felt about things, and how the world was viewed through their eyes. It gave us the chance to discover beauty and rewarded us with both success and failure. The learning process went along at a consistent pace, each student able to work for what they wanted, at a rate comfortable for that person. Paintings on the walls, graphic designs for play promotions, and so much more, all was contributed by dedicated Art students, anxious to help make anything more original and artistic.

You could find them all around, below stairs in the locker rooms, up on the hill playing touch football or soccer, or collapsed in the commons drinking hot chocolate, convinced that a 1 st hour gym class wasn’t exactly the highlight of their day. Seniors have done it for years. Procrastinating until their 3rd year at M.H.S., when suddenly they discovered that diplomas weren't handed out to those who hadn’t fulfilled their half credit Phys. Ed. requirement. And, often as not, those of us that kept putting it off wound up with classes that would get us out of bed at 6 a.m., only to get dressed, and 30 minutes later undressed and into shorts and a t-shirt heading for the gym with a volleyball in hand. Because of a unique Physical Education program existing here, representatives from Mtka. were invited to the Governor’s Physical Fitness Council. About 2 years ago, the Board of Education declared that all Phys. Ed. classes in J. Raymond I Rj id 0 0 Ringtlad t Woodr, K rot, all schools, would be taught to both sexes. But we didn’t have to change our system, for we had been operating that way for 5 years, with complete arrival from Tonka students.

Though a broken leg seems like a novelty to those who have never had one, it is hardly that to those who have. “It is definitely not worth the attention ’ says mini bike victim. It’s not worth having people carry your books and getting your lunch. At first it’s kind of fun having people ask you what happened, but when the fiftieth inquirer comes along, you’ve just about had enough. The worst thing is you can’t do a lot of the things you want to do. So, the next time you find yourself envying one of those unfortunate crutch-clutching hop-alongs, catch yourself and be grateful that you’re not in their position.

That was us. A group of kids living beyond our years? Maybe. Or rather a group of people who seemed to know it all and had nothing to learn. Either way we looked at ourselves, we saw attitudes and opinions about life that were far from new. The faces had changed and the situations were new to those who had never faced them. The problems encountered growing up were just as important to us as they were to those who had made it through before us. Would there ever be a time when images and reputations weren't as important as they seemed to be at the moment? High School brought about situations that left you with ultimatums. Either you belonged, so you thought, or you didn't. It was as simple as that, and just about as painful. But the hard part was the question of whether you were content with yourself, or if others were satisfied with what they expected of you. We were thrust forward to the year 2000 before we had a chance to experience 1978. Sometimes it seemed as though the worst thing that could happen was that someone was talking about our actions or words, hastily said and too often regrettable. Other times it became essential that we didn't step out of line at all, or the group” wouldn’t approve. Either families were great or we fought with frustration because they were too old fashioned.” Maybe they just didn’t understand” us, not realizing that they probably understood more than we imagined. Homework became a drag at times, and an empty wallet when the car needed a fill-up, were problems that we knew were just a preview of life ahead, but we maybe weren’t quite prepared to face. Worrying about grades was a headache. Constantly struggling to make a passing mark became a chore, that usually was forgotten by partying the nights away. Downing a little booze, socializing and letting go of everything for a while became a weekend pastime. It probably wasn't as bad as we made it, in fact, more than likely, there would be those who would argue the fact that we had it better than anyone before us. Maybe in time we’ll agree. But, growing up was at times a painful, hurting experience. We all found solace in different ways. Working at being a success, laughing through it smiling at ourselves, or bumming out over everything. Each was a personal way of dealing with the package life had handed us to hold — for a while, anyway.

The watchful eyes and turned-in ears of the librarians at the desk kept us under control, most of the time. We couldn't seem to get away with too much, anyway. Those that seemed to be without an I.D. and need a book anyway, usually got caught at the gate when they casually tried to stroll out un-noticed. With books under arms, many were unaware that they were about to be beeped at by the buzzer. All heads in the library would turn to see who had got caught. The library was a good place to be when you needed to get some studying done. It was a sort of peaceful thinking place, where you could lean back in a chair by the windows. Whatever your purpose was for heading to the library, most of the time you could get what you needed. Whether it was with your own I.D. or your friend’s.

It possibly created better concentration atmosphere, but more than likely just made the rooms darker. Actually it wasn’t all bad. Many M.H.S. graduates will probably end up being successful accountants, teachers, or in some other math related careers. Credit is due to those teachers who have actually made it through year after year with students as blase’ as we were, and whose dispositions have remained fairly good-natured through it all. Hours spent over bunsen burners, scales and bubblina concoctions tended to numbers relate in every subject “10th hour math . . .what a drag.” A common complaint. Some managed to live through 3 years of it (no doubt in total misery), some with 2 years and some with 1. And there were those who, when given a choice, skipped it all together, even if they were enrolled in a specific course. Formulas and more formulas, frustration upon frustration all led up to a degree or two of patience and perseverence. And if those weren’t the results maybe you learned the fine arts of ing with open leave one exasperated, confused, and even utterly annoyed at times. The Tonka Science Department taught the students how to relate scientific theories to everyday living, and in most cases it seemed to work. Although some students could be seen turning white as a ghost when they realized the only answer they knew on a test was where to put their name! One of the many benefits we got from the science classes was the interesting facts that will stick in our minds hereafter. For example, when swimming in a pond the average person probably wouldn’t realize how many microorganisms were surrounding him, but the Tonka student, emerging Sophomores For-Gre Math Science 61 from one long year of biology, would of course be aware of this!

Dedicated students, those that stuck with it since 7th grade, were glad they did. This year, as in the past, groups from M.H.S. set off for foreign countries to actively use what they had learned. If you happened to accidentally walk into a Spanish class, you might have seen friends sitting around, engaged in games of Spanish monopoly, cards or working on acts for a talent show. Whatever foreign speaking class it might have been, you were able to get a taste of being somewhere besides in the halls of Tonka. Those belonging to the English department, in other words, those people that have lifelong access to the hallowed office, are among the groups of educators known as: unique! The whole English wing participated in the action. Students and teachers took trips to the Guthrie, while students labored over compositions, struggled through books, and discussed subjects throughout the year. Always, in any direction you turned was an M.H.S. sophomore, junior or senior, book in hand or unfinished paper in their folder. Sitting in the library or the commons, they would try to finish their paper before their next hour English class started. Frustrated students would down cokes when unable to figure something out, but those upstairs in the office apparently switched to tea, along with a comfortable chair, when classes and conflicts became too much.

Whether it was a month or an hour before an assignment was due, those who felt the need had to find a place to get something done. Discrete corners, under stairwells, back stairways, and the ever-popular library. These were just a few places where people could go to get some thinking done. Everyone needed at least a few minutes once in a while by themselves just to think or to do some serious studying for once. Working on school work at home was a drag for most, possibly because being at school and near friends was always more exciting than just keeping company with a bunch of books. For many, privacy meant time to get hold of yourself, listen to some albums, and solve any problems that needed sorting out in your head. Finding a place to be alone wasn't too bad, but finding time to do it was something else. The stairwell was a popular place to find privacy. Here Katie Roberts studies for one of her classes. Mini-School 67 A way forward alternate program aimed at success The main reason kids participate in the mini-school program at M.H.S. is because they are looking for a learning alternative to the mainstream program. Mini-school classes were held in the morning with several other educational options offered in the afternoon. One of the learning experiences the program offered this year was the Outdoor Survival Education Curriculum. Here the students and staff shared the experiences of stress and excitement in surviving foreign environments, such as: BWCA trips and rock climbing. Also hiking in the Grand Canyon or Appalachia, bicycle trips, and extended winter camping and climbing. Programs like these allow students and teachers to relate to each other on a less formal level than in the classroom situation. Some students believed this encouraged them to put more into the program and also get more out of it. Mini-school continued to put out its own newspaper entitled Com-mini-cations. It consisted of trip summaries, poems, mainstream polls, how kids felt about minischool and miscellaneous things. Attendance requirements were made more strict this year.

Most had no jackets or personal belongings, as they thought it was just a routine drill. Expecting the O.K. to go back inside, the signal the students were waiting for seemed to take longer than normal. Rumors then began to spread and finally the announcement came that a bomb had exploded, and that classes had been called off for the remainder of the day. 900 students gathered on the school lawns, then scattered in all directions, taking immediate advantage of an unexpected “vacation.” Fire trucks and police, as well as newspapers and T.V. cameras, were there within minutes, and remained until it was announced that no one had been injured and everything was under control. Minor inconveniences, such as cars forced to stay on the lot, because one couldn't enter the school until the next day, was just one of the prices we paid for an explosion occurring on Halloween. V “Fortunately nobody was hurt,”says Smith. ___________________________________________ t •� { ''« J 0 Ljfvjo H Ufion T Ur ton R Urton J laughl-n T LM 0 l« S B lew C lehnVKin A I M l«roM S Irti 1 ir C Iron R Leoft� tdo 0 J l-C R I'.ingvon C I ocli wood Sophomores Mag-Mer Skipping 69 Wlial rules we lose out in the end Eighteen seemed to be the magic age. And, if not magic, at least when that birthday rolled around, asking mom or dad (not to mention friends) to write you a note to excuse you from a missed class, became a thing of the past. Now it was legal to say “Please excuse me from class, sign your name, and walk out, without even giving a reason! But amidst that lucky minority who were fortunate enough to be legal, the majority was still skipping now and then, each time inventing new excuses and scrawls to B.S. their way back into class. Some were just determined to break the rules, and ever so often, trying to beat the system would backfire, and before we knew it, we were spending time in the crisis room. Staring at the four walls (which at one time could be known as windows), thinking about the terrible crime we had just committed, and how we were going to perfect it the next time, so we wouldn't get caught. The threat of being sent there kept some of us in line, though, as it seemed to hang over us like a big black cloud. It was the incentive that sent some students rushing to their classes in order to be on time and it kept the smokers outside even when the temps dropped below zero. Intimidating the substitute teachers gave them good reason to send us there, or when a roving eye would be caught when taking a test. We were sure to “do some time.

Only in the past few years has Women's Lib really taken any serious meaning. Starting with women getting the vote and progressing on and on, the social studies department got into the act when they gained two ladies to teach Tonka students this year. But along with the new trends of equality, the old trends of classes continued. C tt� sse« D. MNrton S Nttvx Sophomores NelO’ne Business Ed. Soc. Studies 71 Students despaired over economic problems, tried to relate Eastern Europe to Western Europe, and struggled to get the order of which President came first organized in their minds. Sometimes it may have seemed so useless to get through it all, but studying and studying finally got results. Not only did the year eventually come to an end, but we came out of it with a better understanding and an ability to know how to think and sort through a lot of jumbled thoughts and to make them all make sense. The business department, involving the basic information on business, was to give the students an understanding of how the system works. Bookkeeping, investments, stocks, interest, loans and many other parts that involved you, the learner, to better understand the business world. Their main objective was to prepare the students for vocations. Hours spent pounding away on typewriter keys, studying for law tests and on the job training, gave many people the opportunity they needed to experience what it was like to be a part of the world outside of Minnetonka High School.

For some, like senior Jeff Kaufmann, whose goal is to pursue careers in politics and business, the mainstream program just didn’t suffice. School within a school (SWAS) was an open approach to an education. It gave the students an opportunity to design their own learning objectives. SWAS used the community as a resource for learning, having the kids learn outside of school. They key to successful results in the program were self-motivation, discipline and initiative. The students’ approval of the SWAS program, which originated nineteen years ago, grew as their given independence grew with them. PAGE 72 — Left: During the year, SWAS took many bike trips.

Because, you see, at one time windows were a reality. Now they’re practically non existent. They covered them up with plaster, shutting out the sunlight, but holding in any heat that happened to be on. That was the purpose, anyway. Many of us, who staunchly believed in staring out of those panes of glass when a lecture was going on, were torn back to the reality of being in school much too quickly. One day they were there, and the next, they weren’t. Workmen changed it all around over the ’77 summer months, in hopes of saving some energy when winter came again. So, Mtka. cut down on heat loss, but we also lost the light.

They usually wound up getting both. An assortment of anything from the most fattening of foods to stuff for the weight-conscious were available. People would wait hungrily outside the doors, anxious for them to open. The ladies behind the counters would run frantically around, trying to locate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on rye, instead of white. Also, making change out of a dollar bill so we could run to the pop machine before it became Out of order, or worse yet, out of ice!

Making our lockers personal and individual was a way that M.H.S. students could make it feel a little bit more like home. We put pictures, stickers, bulletin boards, and whatever else we could think of, up inside. Anything to cover that dull tan-colored metal. For girls, mirrors were one of the biggest things that could be put up. Checking out their appearances between classes was a necessity that these little items took care of. More often than not, somebody’s locker got stuck way out in the boons, which turned out to be a huge inconvenience. Although it was easily solved by Moving in” with one of your friends. It became the common practice when this type of situation became a hassle for making it to your classes on time. But these weren’t the only homes some of us had. Lots of M.H.S. people had not one, but two lockers, one being below-stairs in the locker rooms. All the “Jock lockers” were located down there holding many different types of things. There were no dog eared math books shoved in the corners of those lockers! Rather, it was sweat pants, socks, tennis shoes, and gear for whatever sport the person happened to be involved in. Some lockers just changed with the seasons, going from shorts and t-shirts to long pants and warm sweatshirt jackets. But whatever was tucked away in there, it was bound to show some aspect of the owner’s personality — bad or good!

Her reasons for becoming one are: She loves animals, it is healthier than eating preservative-filled meats and the grains that are used to feed livestock could be used to feed starving people in other nations. Unlike more strict vegetarians, Heidi allows herself to eat fish occasionally. To get the protein she needs, she eats eggs, cheese, and nuts. She plans to continue her life as a vegetarian because, she says, “It’s good for your body.” Fill Prir ever eat a pine tree likai a ml All of us were familiar with those girls who were either always on a diet or going to start one tomorrow. Tonka wrestlers also found the need to diet. Unlike the girls, they didn’t want to lose weight for glamourous reasons. Fasting before weighing-in on the day of a wrestling match was not uncommon among wrestlers. PHRKJNG SCRUNCH There were many students who chose to drive a car to school for various reasons. Finding a convenient parking space wasn't an easy task at times, especially if they arrived at school after second hour. Most students agreed that the price of the sticker wasn’t worth the hassle, like having to park in the muddy parking lot by the science wing or having to park a half of a mile away from the school. The ones who avoided buying a sticker usually paid for it by having their cars towed away. However, ’78 seniors said that compared to previous years the parking regulations weren’t as strict this year. But, when ninth hour finally rolled around, the parking lot became chaotic. People began to stream out of school and rush to his or her car. The other half that had to ride the bus usually tried to find a kind soul with extra room in their car. The parking scrunch was always present. l’EEVES PESTER PEOPLE Nobody at M.H.S. was totally undisturbed this year. The main disturbance usually involved another person. For instance, when asked, What is something that really bothers you? Billy Piwinica replied, “My mom.” Mary Magnuson answered, When people beg me for food.” Mrs. Garneau said, When people lie to me.” Colleen Lynch replied, Math everyday.” Annonymous male stated, People who ask me stupid questions in the hall!

This astronomical phenomenon occurred at approximately 12:00 midnight, and only on warm nights during the summer months. These moons remained Unidentified Skinny Dipping Objects” —(USDO). V T€€TK Lots of kids attending M.H.S. wore braces. Braces are a conglomeration of stainless steel and clamps with the sole purpose of straightening crooked teeth. Many unpleasant effects such as cutting your lips when you smiled, being paranoid that people might see food caught between them, and finding a comfortable way to sleep in head gear. However, most wearers of braces said that they would have rather worn braces than go througfvtheir lives with crooked teeth. Why don’t elephants smoke? Just read some of the graffiti on the walls of M.H.S. and find out. Graffiti is as old as the carrols and the bathroom walls. Wouldn’t it really look empty without all the mess. The 77-78 collection consisted of many new cliches, feelings, etc. Some of the most loved: God loves you,” I love Robert Redford,” Debbie 474-8075,” Write to dear Sally in the 5th stall, What a drag, etc. For some seniors, the vision of their class heading down the hill of the football field to grab their diplomas in June, was something that was just too hard to handle for the whole year. So we resorted to some assistance, on the weekends. Then as the bottles emptied, it didn't seem too hard to believe, and it really didn’t matter anyway. There once was a class that graduated, leaving behind a motto of Where’s the party?” The class of ’78 didn’t have to ask! Seeing double? No, that’s Sheri and Sharon Thompson, seniors. Sharon said if she would’ve had her choice, she wouldn’t have been a twin. They had different hair styles and some people said Sharon could be identified by her smile, but there still was confusion. So to avoid the mistake, people just started to call them Share.” It’s hard to be an individual,” said Sharon. People are always comparing us.” They always had each other and they had lots of good times. However, they are looking forward to their individual futures. IWMIMI 78 Home Ec. Industrial Arts Sophomores Ru-See how do we weld these together? The distinct sound of saws and other such machinery told passers-by that students enrolled in Industrial Education at Mtka were learning new skills and possibly perfecting old ones. Major changes were taking place throughout the 77-78 school year. Among them the fact that two hour class blocks were introduced to students used to 50 minute periods. With “creative atmospheres” in mind, this turn around in scheduling brought about uninterrupted working and learning time. To learn the technical parts of education was the goal of both students and the educators. With the numerous equipment available in Industrial Education, those who wished to could fulfill all that they wanted. The delicious aroma of fresly baked food seemed to linger near the second floor for months on end. The scents drifted down the stairs, filtered into the math rooms, and crept into the science wing, only to frustrate the teachers because their students weren’t concentrating on anything but eating. But although we would have liked it, cooking meals wasn’t the only purpose Tonka’s Home Ec. Department had. Sophomores Sei-Spe Industrial Arts Home Ec. 79 Students enrolled in the many offered courses, dealing with the practical side of living, as well as what their future would hold for them. Whether it was college, marriage, or a career, something could be found that satisfied all. Problems relating to children, family and single living were discussed. Questions were solved in order to prepare us for the days ahead, which possibly wouldn’t be as secure as we had once known. Sew what ?

The secretaries, cooks and custodians are some of the most important people that are needed. The custodians are always in demand, cleaning, fixing, and helping out by opening rooms when in desperate need.

The choices ranged from a street bum to the President of the United States. For an estimated five percent of kids that enrolled in M.H.S., Vocational Education helped to provide an answer. While Vo-Tech did not educate kids for either of these extreme occupations, it did offer many of those that are located in between. The programs offered were amongst many, banking, arts, food service occupations and health careers. M.H.S. students commuted to the Hennepin Tech. South Campus by bus in two shifts, the first left at 9:30 and returned at 12:20, the second from 11:30 to 2:20. The purpose of high school participation in Vo-Tech education was to educate the student for jobs that are needed and will be available to him her. It pre educated them for further experience in more complex occupations. The program has been in effect for years and according to Mr. Sudbeck, “It really works.” So, many young adults who were searching in hopes of discovering their niche in life, Vocational Education marked the end of their journey.

The job required a specific amount of journalism or photography talent, pizzazz, and a pinch of sarcasm and spice. Once these traits were acquired, you became a member for life. Putting out four issues yearly, Breezes was known for embarrassing jokes about sophomores (which made the rest of us laugh!), letters to the Editor and also from the Editor, and above all, the utmost confidence in their abilities to produce quality journalism. For years, dedicated workers have toiled under pressure as deadlines drew near, and have gone with no credit, save that of our appreciation. Soon, all that will have changed. Those working for Breezes will, in the future be able to receive credits toward graduation, depending on what position they hold on the staff. But, ’77-'78 showed that, credit or not. Breezes was something to be proud of. All the issues were witty, informative, and enjoyable, put together by a bunch of very talented sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Through them, we became informed, and stayed informed on items around us, and affecting us. Let’s hear it for Breezes . . . clap.

They outdid themselves to make the A.F.S. students feel comfortable and at ease in surroundings that were very different from what they were used to. The Minnetonka A.F.S. club consisting of 65 members, was composed of sophomores, juniors, and seniors. They were more active and participated in more activities than any other year. A.F.S. exchange students were accompanied to games, concerts, and dances by club members, to show what typical American teenagers were like, and to introduce them to customs and actions familiar to us, but very strange to those from countries halfway across the world. Club members raised money by holding a remnant sale, and had fun by having a cookout at Carver Park, going on a hayride, organizing short-term exchange programs, having a Christmas party and a sleighride, and attending an International weekend. Headed by President, Nancy Willette, A.F.S. was an active, hardworking club which helped promote experiences of traveling, to many deserving students. PAGE 90 — Top center: A.F.S.'s weekly meeting.

Groups of Tonka students hopped on planes, taking off to study the language first hand. What better way to learn than by being in the midst of the culture and its people. You could experience all the differences, and finally all those things that had seemed so far away when you read them in the books, were actually real.

With the team of Dave Williams and Scott Korzenowski, the day just couldn’t have gone wrong. Their news was something else — informative and interesting. When Dave and Scott were asked why they did the Third Hour Annoucements, they answered, “So we didn’t have to listen to them!” They went on to say who invented the idea of doing the honors, Dave said without hesitation, “Me!” Did they ever have any embarrassing moments? Scott answered, “When I said the sexual six Girl’s Tennis team instead of section six.” If you slept in the library, only to be awakened by the T.H.A., you probably will remember them for a long time to come. Aloha! “Microphone!” bleep. “Get rid of that feedback.” Sound like the beginning of every assembly? Probably not, unless you’re on Stage Crew. Who was Stage Crew? They were the unseen heroes of the pep fests, assemblies, etc. They are the reason the lights shine, microphones work, and plays click. Thanks to advisor Ed Grimm and the crew, Stan Flink, Craig Humason and Tim Myers, everything ran very smoothly. PAGE 92 — Top: Tom Kooy stops typing as T.H.A. provides a welcome break from routines.

To describe ABUF, or for that matter, C-squad, to anyone not belonging to Mtka, would be next to impossible. You just had to see it to believe it. No where else would you expect to see cut-off overalls displaying an M on anyone, or a bunch of guys made unrecognizable. Their overcoats, glasses, hats, or whatever else imaginable covered them completely. They were the undying parties of the school, getting together at just about anytime to celebrate just about anything. Doc Smith likes us, said one ABUFer. As far as that went, ABUF skits were banned a long time ago for unmentionable reasons. But C-squad was out there faithfully at every pep fest, doing something and embarrassing someone each time. Anyhow, the administration appreciated them and their support, even if they weren’t allowed to show it in their own way. Most of the time they couldn’t complain, though. The school liked them, the teachers (at least some) liked them, and they always seemed to have a good time, all the time. PAGE 94 — Top: The classic ABUF truck and its members.

Having practices on Mondays and Thursdays, Anne and Paula would teach the danceline the new dance they had spent four to six hours making up, working on kicks and splits, dance, dance, dancing, and even a little goofing off. With a long season from August to April, the twenty girls not only dedicated themselves to dance, but also had Pot Luck suppers, early morning breakfasts (6:30), and slumber parties. This helped them to get to know each other better, and to keep the spirit high. MHS was proud to such a group of hard working, skilled girls with pointed toes, straight legs, determination, and smiling faces to represent their school.

The honor societies were designed to continue interest in foreign affairs and encourage academic excellence. Membership requirements were an A average in a foreign language, and a B in other areas of study. The German club was one of the most active clubs at MHS. They participated in bicycle trips, a ski-weekend up north with a costumed, “Krankamvel” party, a German dinner at the Black Forest Inn, and a study travel program. They also had a morning of German dance and music at the St. Paul Civic Center. The Spanish Club is open to anyone who speaks the language, so are the German and French clubs. The Spanish National Honor Society consists of people interested in the hispanic culture. Activities consist of meetings, field trips to concerts, restaurants, movie seminars, fund drives, and international weekends. The French Club went to the “La Hotel Soffitel,” where they had lunch in the Cafe.” The French Society has many activities similar to the other Honor Societies. All three societies are designed to give the students better knowledge of the culture as well as the languages. •N I PAGE 99 — Upper: Row 1: R. Larson, E. Anderson, C. Christensen, T. Crump.

The group was started by Pam Pugh, a former teacher at East Junior High. FCA had an average of twenty-five enthusiastic people who learned and laughed together. Pam and her husband, Tom, really enjoyed working with the kids from MHS. At the first meeting M.A. Isleib and Tim Donlin were elected co-captains of the huddle and Dan Livily was the treasurer. The planning committee consisted of Rhondi Larson and Ann Ocenasek and Debbie Elwood. They planned such events as a progressive dinner and a sleigh ride. The group met the first and third Sunday nights of each month at different members homes. The group was growing and had many good plans for the future. Did you ever want to be a corporate executive? Junior Achievement was a program designed to set up their own businesses. But along with the business, came the headaches of rent, taxes, production, and promotion. Minnetonka was represented in marketing by the Booters, who were sponsored by Holiday stores. The Booters chose to market personalized matchbook covers. Their techniques included going door-to-door and to shopping malls. Unfortunately, before the profit came the cost, rent, taxes, etc What do you get when you put together five guys in funny hats, a deck of cards, and large amounts of spaghetti? Answer: The German Hearts Club! The club originated on a German ski trip where, in their strange attire, they played hearts until 4 am. What’s next on the agenda? Will we ever know? The answer lies ahead. A love of tea, crumpets, tobacco, and Sherlock Holmes, could gain you membership in the Dying Detectives. “We make tapes of Sherlock Holmes’ Adventures,’’ says Jim Maertens. The Dying Detectives also have their own “constitution stating the rules and rituals of the club. One such ritual is the Sherlockian banquet, on May 21. However, a bylaw states that May 21 Vi may come at any time of the year. Another project was based in Jay Vollmer’s basement. It involved reconstruction of a Holmes novel. The Dying Detectives are not dead yet! Did you realize that the winter sun can keep you warm, even when it’s 20 degrees outside? The Minnetonka Industrial Education Solar Energy Team accomplished that feat last year. The “team, consisted of twelve students and two staff coordinators, who designed, built, and operated solar heat collection. It was strictly a demonstration unit to allow students and teachers to see the applied uses of solar energy. The Collector is made up of a series of old offset printing plates rolled and painted black to absorb heat. “When the heat in the box goes through the box and the plates, then returns to the building as heated air. . The project which began in mid-November was completed four months later. As to future plans, Mr. Moon and Mr. Anderson remarked, we plan to experiment with alternative energy sources.

Jon was working on an artificial intelligence program, which would enable conversation with the computer. For the laymen, a program is a series of commands broken down into a mathematical language the computer will understand. It may not sound like fun to the majority, but they did have various forms of recreation. The most popular was games, of which Star Trek was the most frequently played. The computer understood and printed out questions of tactical moves for the operator. Future projects in this area included Star Wars and Dungeons and Dragons, a medieval fantasy. Sitting down takes away nerves, remarked Richard McGinnis, but I'd have been petrified if I had had to stand up. If you had tuned into a show called High School Bowl, you found it was not a bowling tournament. In fact it was not a sports show at all, but a battle of DOUBLE ______________TAKE _____a long drag____ Last year the faculty of Minnetonka tried something new. 55 minute class periods were the invention. To the staff, five minutes more didn’t seem very long, but to the students it seemed like an eternity. Rumors of reasons for lengthening the day were spread throughout the school, but the real cause for the change began when the science department complained that they didn’t have enough time for labs. The school day had formerly ended at 2:30, but 77-78 year, students were seen wits, each contestant was a specialist in their field. David Quam, math; Richard McGinnis, economics, social sciences, foreign language and general trivia; Susan Hough, literature, history, foreign language and general trivia; and Peter Holthe, social sciences. With the varied subjects, studying was nearly impossible. There is no real way to study for a show of this type, it is accumulated knowledge, remarked Mr. Soderholm, adviser. There is a lot of work, however, with strategy meetings, running through practice questions and knowing each other’s strong and weak points. Before taping they were briefed on rules and a practice round was played. A sample question was, What were the name of Peter Rabbit’s sisters?” Which of course everyone knew.

Those who were lucky enough to not have a class following ninth hour were able to catch the first bus home. Those unfortunate ones that were stuck with a 10th hour waited anywhere from 15 minutes to 45 minutes before their bus appeared. The school board talked about alternatives at meeting after meeting, in early Fall. It finally came around to the fact that the 78-79 school year will see the problem solved. In the meantime, the graduating seniors had to put up with a little bit of inconvenience. 104 Music Department Music Department 105 Do you hear what I hear ? mtka’s music excels again PAGE 104 — Top left: Darla Zahnow and Chris Noren dominate the saxophone section.

They added spirit and color to the football games. Joining the groups on the field at half time to perform for the fans that were watching. They were greatly appreciated. They practiced after school to get their timing right and patterns synchronized. They were rewarded by routines that were smooth and together and by clapping from the fans. Sue Thome. Patty Weis.

Many new things occurred over the course of the year, including the arrival of a new director. Ken Kahlman, joining Dan Geldert to work with a number of very fine musicians. Mr. Kahlman took over the direction of the Marching Band, which for the first year was on a totally voluntary basis. Taking hours of time, during as well as after-school. Students practiced their music as well as some fancy footwork. It all began paying off as soon as the football games started and the half times rolled around. The Jazz Ensemble was once again honored by being asked to play at the Viking play off game, and also at the Music Educators weekend in February. It was an outstanding year for M.H.S. music, and they could boast proudly of having Dr. Henery Charles Smith for an evening in the Fall. He played trombone and directed the band as well, leaving behind an impression that the band members, as well as the audience, will remember about his talent with music. If someone could invent a way to properly describe Minnetonka's Choir department, they would have to search pretty far to find the right words. To be a member of any small ensemble group, is an honor that those involved wouldn't give up for anything. Joan Larson, the head director, and friend to all members, was the whirlwind on stage, and behind the scenes. ‘'Can’t” is a word that just wasn't in her vocabulary. She, and her choirs, have proved it again and again. Constantly preparing for four concerts yearly, choir members trooped in faithfully every day, to work out that one rough spot in a piece, or to perfect that last passage, and loved it all the while they did it. It was always, always, something. Girl’s Chorus and the Concert Choir turned into salesmen PAGE 106 — Top: The Sophomore Choir, under the direction of Mrs. Larson, brought the “Sound of Music” to the Christmas Concert Center: The Male Quartet: Andy McDougal, Jeff Quam, Bob Clifford and Steve Goodwills.

Concert choir was to head to Chicago, and Girl’s Chorus to travel in Minnesota. Finishing up the money end, and preparing for the Winter Concert was a huge job for everyone. On that evening, the Sophomore Choir impressed the audience by proving how talented they were. The Girl’s Chorus presented the Nutcracker Suite, and Concert Choir performed Songs of Christmas, along with the quartets, ensembles, and small groups, creating a memory of a good concert. The small groups worked hours to prepare for performances, and many times presented programs at places other than M.H.S. Rehearsals were scheduled regularly, on after school time, so that they could be at their very best every time. Individual voice lessons went on all year to enable all students in Choir to improve their talents and abilities, and also to prepare them for state voice contests in the spring. Girl’s Choir hosted the Annual Girl’s Choir Festival in May, and the Concert Choir and Sophomore Choir prepared for the Spring Concert. Seniors, when they sang for the last time at the Graduation ceremonies, were seen crying as they sang, not as anxious to leave as they had thought. Especially to leave a Choir experience that had been so rewarding and fun.

Kris Ratliff became the newly elected president along with Jeff Sears as vice-president and Tyler Middleton as secretary treasurer. Working together to improve the student participation and spirit, the year turned out to be a good one. The biggest effort was to get an anchor for the front of MHS, that would be cemented down, so Eisenhower couldn't steal it. Along with this came the hard work on Homecoming, Snow-week, Senior Breakfast, and the drive for Service Award letters. Usually, once a week. Student Government would get together in room 300 and discuss present affairs, as well as plan for the future activities. This year for the first time Student Government went to the Junior Highs and encouraged them to elect officers for the coming year. PAGE 110 — Top left: J. Sears, T. Middleton and L.

These three special organizations serve purposes that best fit each individuals needs. Although DECA, MOEA and VICA’s main objectives concern the career life of the students, many social events were included. The biggest event is the Employer Appreciation Banquet. This annual event is given by the students to show their gratitude for their cooperation. Between the competition and ‘‘Student of the Month ’ students are always striving to do their best in whichever field they're involved in. DECA, MOEA and VICA are clubs that make the students proud to be a part of the community and its surrounding business. DECA is designed for students who want to be involved in “on the job training.“MOEA is for those interested in office education. And VICA is related to trade and industry. PAGE 112 — Top: Row one: T.

Woodey who gathered every Monday after school with interested students and discussed words and their meanings. The dictionary club was expected to have a big turn out at the beginning of the season, but found themselves usually hosting 2-3 participants. The all time record was somewhere between 6-8. For those who seemed devoted, they had a great time on Mondays. With Ray Soderholm directing the crew, Debate had a pretty good season. Richard McGinnis, the only senior, worked with sophs, Mary Buffington, Mike Thompson, Les Moeller, Mike Bassett and Steve Leslie to win the New Ulm and St. Cloud tournaments. There were two sides to the Debate team, one affirmative and the other negative. Both sides would argue for or against the year's topic. The topic was The Federal Government should guarantee comprehensive medical care for all citizens in the U.S. The season started the first week of school, training and teaching rules, later developing the cases, and finally working on strengths and weaknesses.

Although each school seemed to have their own slang terms, those at M.H.S. would agree that we had the greatest. Words have always played an important role in helping to get the point across, and we sure got the point across even if it was in our own unique way. If someone would have walked down the halls they probably would have heard — That’s really the pits! or Are you bumming? Now if they hadn't been around they might have thought that we were totally crazy, but in only a matter of days they'd be saying Oh for sure right along with us. After a few weeks they might even begin saying Catch you later or It's been real. It’s strange how you can feel the meanings of certain words. Take Pork out for instance, you couldn’t possibly realize what that meant unless you’ve experienced it. Many things were labeled as Choice” or The best, while others muttered Love it under their breath. Left: Bob Opheim and Joe Cafarella find a way to waste their time in the halls. Right: Dan Lively shows the typical attitude after a long day, bummed out. nw 116 Varsity Cheerleaders Lets get rowdy they’re all a little crazy It wasn't unusual throughout the school year to see bubbly girls dressed in blue and white in an attempt to spread school spirit and remind everyone of where the game was going to take place that night. The purpose of cheerleaders was to boost the spirit of the spectators so they, in turn, would do the same for the players. A victory made 2 bus ride home a lot more pleasant. Making-up cheers and remembering oranges and cookies for the guys were some (f the additional duties. Among these menial jobs was the enormous job of making locker tags. Hours upon hours were spent on those tricky little sayings, with the intention of raising the guys' spirit. It couldn't help but be questioned whether this extra effort was all in vain. The tags were ripped off lockers, thrown on the floor, and left lying there framing someone’s footprint, only to be swept up at the end of the day by a school custodian. At any rate, the guys did appreciate them. And, if they got to them before those vandalistic passers-by did, they usually expressed their appreciation by sticking them up in their lockers.

When you entered Minnetonka as a tenth grader, you were automatically categorized as a rowdy, crazy, “sophomorish” type person. Most of the time you didn’t mind the jokes, or the questions yelled at the pep tests asking What’s a sophomore? because it meant that you could be as weird as you felt like being, without anyone thinking or saying anything besides — on that's gotta be a sophomore! B-squaders were classic, because they really fit the mold. They were extremely rowdy, energetic and fun, where ever they were or whatever game they were cheering at. They were hassled a lot, but lived through it by laughing and spreading more spirit than any of the rest of us had. Sophomore B-squaders were forced to do embarrassing things all day, constantly drawing attention to themselves by their clothes, and their faces covered with lipstick, and most wearing sandwich signs saying something about one of the senior guys. Getting a feeling of spirit spread throughout the school was the purpose of another group of rowdy girls. The Rousers were the organization consisting of a whole bunch of girls, that completely arranged Homecoming and all its festivities. You could find them all over, from Doc Smith’s office to te commons, working out plans and ideas to make 1977’s Homecoming the best ever. And it was, for all of us, despite the rain that poured down all weekend. The hours that Rousers had put in paid off as people came to the dance and enjoyed themselves by boogying to the music. Spirit groups were essential to a school the size of M.H.S. and both Rousers and B squad cheerleaders did their best to bring a little excitement and spirit to the rest of the school.

This year’s annual could correctly be entitled “unusual” in comparison to the 25 other volumes preceding it, and the staff consisting of. Editor-in-chief, Kay Musech and company is probably the best reason for it. In 26 years it had never been approached quite the way it was in '78. It’s a known fact that it’s not an easy task to come up with new and original ideas for an annual. The attitude has pretty much always been, “If you’ve seen one yearbook you’ve seen ’em all. The '78 staff worked hard to make their year an exception, and are proud to say they succeeded. Yearbook class was anything but an easy credit. There was always something that had to be done and never a dull moment. However, procrastination was not unheard of. During an average day, staffers could be seen running in and out of room 128 during hour 4 5. The constant chatting noises created by voyageurs usually drowned out the radio, which is an essential to be able to work. Those demanding deadline dates looming ahead of us reallv brought out the weirdness in the staff. The rush usually started about 2 days before the deadline. During this time it wasn’t unusual to hear a somewhat louder and harsher tone of voice being used. The tension could have been cut with a knife. It was all in an effort to design neat layouts, catchy headlines, interesting copy and good pictures. All of this was in an effort to make a better yearbook. Lots of extra time was put into the yearbook, ranging from time taken from Imaginative writng class to Friday nights and Saturday mornings. It was hard work, but it was fun. Love it or leave it!

Seniors Seniors 123 124 Seniors Future takes What _______________Singers Bob and Mary Grones Not only Bob and Mary are musical but the whole Grones family as well. With Bob on the guitar and Mary on the piano, they sang by themselves as well as together. Their debut was at the 8th grade graduation, and with Bob appearing at weddings. Together they sang Scarbourgh Fair in Excelsior. Both Bob and Mary were in concert choir and did their own thing, but they always enjoyed getting together to make some music. Holidays are fun when the whole family gathers around to sing, and both agree they would like the opportunity to continue with their music — good luck to them! What a Mechanic ______Rob Gordon Rob first started restoring cars in the 7th grade. He bought a '41 Buick for $125, and on and off restored it, making it look like new once again. He then sold it for $2000. Cars are only a hobby for Rob — and much of his spare time is spent fixing the old and worn out to new and running. During his junior year, he restored a '65 Mustang, and added a sun roof which allowed him to sell for quite a profit. The latest project was during his senior year when he worked on a ’66 Mustang — but it is a long process because some of the Minnesota winters make it impossible to sit out in the cold and scrape rust off old cars. What; Harmonic; Tom Kelley With fingers extended on the electric keyboards and lips the harmonica, Tom Kelley some great musical notes. Tom has played the harmonica since 9th grade and very seldom was seen with less than three in his Seniors 125 I jssession. He liked to wear his larmonica shirt” with all the I ckets to keep them in. Tom ijoys playing alone as well as tting together with other usicians to jam, and it was great len he bought his own electric yboard. He played the - yboards first and is more s rious about them than the h irmonica, but finds both a lot of f n and hopes to continue progressing. What a Sailor Dave Schmitt Dave Schmitt has owned several types of sailboats, and his first big regatta win was on Lake Geneva in the Upper Lake Regatta. It was then that he had the honor to crew in the Nationals on Lake Minnetonka. Dave’s brother started him sailing and he took three years of sailing school. He enjoys it as a hobby, but works hard before competition. Perhaps Dave likes it so much because it’s a challenge and also because of the self-gratification. Hopefully Dave will crew for the same team next year in the Nationals held in New York. From there he wants to race in college and then who knows? What a Musician Mike Paulsen Leading a five piece grougjVlike Paulsen is a fine musician. Mike plays guitar and trombone, which he has played in bands; the Varsity band, the wind ensemble, the jazz ensemble, and his own band. Also he has played with the Minnesota Youth Symphony for 4 years and played at Orchestra Hall and O’Shaughnessy. Recently he was a part of the Minneapolis Trombone Choir which led by Jim feensel. Mike is continuing music, and wants to major in it at the college he is attending — North Texas State. Someday his dreams are to play with a big jazz band or else free-lance in New York City.

Four times a week, Kristen vould work out for the races that vere held Friday, Saturday and Sunday. She would practice at Suck Hill with teammates Pam Sensei, Brooks Chandler, Dave ;arisch. Skipper Wyer, Joe Jparman, Peter Thiss, and Tim )sgood. Even though they ompeted with people from all ver the U.S., they did very well comparing Buck Hill with the mountains. Kristen started racing in 5th grade, and has been competing seriously ever since. She has competed in Colorado, Vermont and New Hampshire against kids from all over the United States. It was just last year that she was in the Nationals in Alaska. She will be on the Middlebury ski team in college. Looking further into the future she hopes to maybe coach someday. am Bartholomay aul Bartsch oug Basile Richard Bastian Brian Batzil David Beatly Paul Becker Nancy Beckman Craig Bednarz George Bedor John Beery Debra Benson Debbie Bentz Magus Berg Terry Berg Terri Bergmann Katherine Bergslien Tom Betcher Sharon Berkey Holly Binger Jenifer Berry Paul Boyer Linda Berscheit Rich Brague 128 Seniors Br-Cat Jay Volmer What an artist Chris Branvold Glen Britzius David Brown Laura Buchner Rick Bueno Jeanne Burnett Laura Burton Steve Burton Dawn Cakebread Kevin Callaghan Chris Campbell Scott Campbell Dave Carisch Rick Carlson Terri Carlson Todd Carmichiel Keith Caro Keith Carpenter Linda Carroll Kim Carrothers Jeff Catotal Wayne Chapman Sue Cherland Chris Child Seniors Ch-Del 129 It was the day that Jay Volmer’s friend said I know you'll be an artist,” that he actually started thinking seriously about it. Jay mostly draws people, which is the ultimate, and it takes the most amount of skill to get personality.

It allows her room for individualism and freedom of expression through choreography. She started out at Andahazy in St. Louis Park, and then moved to the Minnesota Dance Theatre where she is still dancing and taking classes at the university. During her dancing, she played a role in a ballet at O’Shaughnessy, toured seven places with intergenerational musicals at her church, worked a lot on choreography, and directed the Christmas pageant at her church. Heidi combines her musical talent and artistic talent with her dance program, she tapes the piano, and works with that. In the future, Heidi would like to major in Philosophy but plans to always keep her dance as an active interest, along with her continuing involvement in the fine arts. iarey Eue ike Evans Ann Farmer ‘atti Fellows Craig Fevem Rick Fischer Mike Fisher Jeanne Flaherty Denise Fletcher Stan Flink Joy Forsberg Melanie Forseth Linda Forslev Jim Fossen Kregg Fowler Amy Fraasch Larry Fraser Scott Frazee David Freedholm Bill Froberg Brad Frost Patti Furnas Richard Gabler Marge Gerber 132 Seniors Gib-Hag Sue Powers What a politician For only the second time, Minnesota has had a woman for a youth Governor — and Sue Powers was that second time.

Working with clay or throwing started for Dave in 8th grade where he wasn’t too serious and lost his interest until 10th grade. There he picked it up again and self-taught himself. Potting is just a hobby for Dave, but he hopes to buy his own wheel and he also plans to take ceramics in college. During his senior year he made different kinds of pots. He bought his clay from the Minnesota Clay Company for 100 a pound. He also bought his own glaze to create such things as pitchers, vases, and beer steins. One of the most important factors in potting is technique — and through his hobby, he taught himself such things as centering, pinching, pulling up walls and cutting off. Dave has a good future in front of him in the area of potting. Good luck to him. iail Jacobs ari Jakel anet Jenson 'enda Jersak Brad Johnson Dave Johnson Gayle Johnson Gordon Johnson Jennifer Johnson Kirsten Johnson Laura Johnson Mark Johnson Rod Johnson Sandy Johnson Judy Jones Marsha Jones Ann Jordon Chris Jordon Tom Jorssen Patty Jergens Tom Kassberg Barb Kaufman Jon Kaufman Chris Keller 136 Seniors Kel-Kro Rob King What a sin get V'; ' rV. jhjn -v SI ’ vi i 1 1 - - p � U - A j [‘ ,'� fc % • 31 j 1' Charles Kelly Craig Kelly Kim Kelly Michelle Kerber Joni Kettler Bill Kiefer Dan Kilstofte Rob King Leslie Kingman Steve Kingston Gunn Kirkeng Susanne Kitchar Heide Klein Erik Knutson Brian Koehler Scott Koehnen Julie Koester Scott Korzenowski George Krause Shelly Kremers Melissa Krenz Dave Krig James Krueger Jeff Kronholm Seniors KruLer 137 Popular and folk, Rob King sings them all.

I guess it’s because the guys were so equally talented. There wasn’t any competition between the players this year, like in the past years.” Said Coach Soukup. This was proved by, not one, but a long list of this year’s most valuable players. Another factor that made a difference was the capability of all the good players to platoon or play in equal shifts, which made it easier on the team. Tim Dunsmore and Brian Sumpter were the senior captains of this year's team. Sumpter was elected by the team earlier in the season to replace Troy Magnuson, who injured his knee during his second day of contact practice, making him unable to play for the rest of the year. Soukup said he would have been the number one running back, if he hadn’t been injured. The team tried something new this year, they named their defense, “Geronimo’s Raiders.’’ It was invented purely by accident one day at an Eisenhower game, by “Chief Geron,’’ Tim Dunsmore. Everyone on the defense team had the emblem on their helmets. “It’s good for their spirit and motivation, replied Chief Geron. The Skippers seemed to be a lot closer this year. During the games, in the huddle, the Raiders would hold hands for team spirit. The bus rides to the games were always quiet. Winning or losing determined the mood on the way home. They had their good games, like the Edina East game. And they also had their disappointments, like the St. Louis Park game. What was important was that they always gave them a run for their money. They did goofy things like burying “Ike’s” rock and locker room escapades too rowdie to mention. They also ribbed each other about whoever they were going out with and teased Homie” about the hair on his chest. They gave each other nicknames, “Stone Hands” Mike Daum, “Gray Whale” Mike Walsh, “Blue Mule James Benson, “Elf” Jeff Larson, and many more. All this joking around helped them to relax and loosen up before a game. Did you ever wonder what the main topic of conversation in the locker room was? Funny as it may seem, it wasn’t about plays they could use. It’s girls! “The only time I have ever been motivated by a cheerleader is when I went out with one,” replied senior Tim Loftus, guard on M.H.S. football team. Cheerleaders may not motivate the players during games, but what would a football game be without its cheerleaders?

It was a great year. The girls worked hard and it paid off. They made it to state and they played well, but St. Paul Academy played just a little bit better and went home with the first place championship title. Kotsonasand the girls were disappointed about coming so close and losing. This year’s team captains, both seniors, were Pam Hensel and Kristin Traff. They are excellent players and it will hurt the team to lose them. When asked who his most valuable player was, Kotsonas replied, “They are all valuable.

You’ve got to be a pretty tough cookie to be a cross-country runner, and this year 39 athletes proved themselves capable. When the team is training, they practiced running up to 13 miles a day, with an average of 70 to 80 miles per week. All that hard work seemed to pay off when they could say that in the final rating they ranked 6th in the state. “This was the best team that Minnetonka has ever had,” said Schmitt. Tom Stambaugh, one of the team's super-stars, finished the 3 mile stretch with a fantastic time of 15.21 min. Winning all but one of her meets was the exceptional runner Eva Ljungstrom. Her best finish for the 2 mile run was an astonishing 11.34 min. Despite the aching muscles, hard practices, and tension before a race, the team had a very successful season.

If you ever saw Paul Sterns, the girl's swim coach, walking around with his eyes half closed, it was probably due to the fact that he hadn’t slept all night. He, as well as some of the girls, experience up to three weeks of sleepless nights after their regular season, and preceding the state tournament. The team, whose 'll captains were Michelle Schmid and Katie Lundsten, left the State competition with a 1 st place award held by Anne Moser. Anne received it for her record breaking time of 1:10.12 in the 100 yard breast stroke. She said, “I felt as though I had really accomplished something.’’ The team came away with a 3rd in the 200 yard medley relay, another in the 400 yard freestyle relay, with a 4th in the 100 and 200 yard freestyle by Kate Lundsten and in the 500 yard freestyle by Sue Thomas in the 100 yard breast stroke and an 11 th place in the backstroke by Randy Nehrmg. To top it all off, the second place award, in the state, went to Tonka Girls, which was just under Lindbergh’s 1st, which proved exactly how great Tonka’s season was.

This year’s captains were Dave Wells and Steve Dixon. Coach Paul Sterns stated that all the guys on the team were very valuable. He feels that the most important aspect in coaching Tonka’s team is convincing the kids that they can do it. Apparently he practiced what he preached because Tonka had an excellent year. The biggest casualty this year was Mike Miscoss’s broken finger. If not for his injury, he might have had a chance in breaststroke competition at state. The guys practiced hard six days a week from two to three hours a day. The average lap distance at practice was between four and six miles. The diving part of the swim team with coach Nick Jambeck, worked very very hard. Among others, senior Craig Kelly showed much promise as a competitive diver. Even with all their hard work, they still found time for pleasure, such as the Grand Prix held in the West Junior High’s locker room. PAGE 164 — Top: Steve Rippley swims the strenuous butterfly.

The girls on the Minnetonka team did and that’s exactly what the innocent Henry” dog brought. But the team didn’t win the conference title with luck alone. Tonka’s reputation was one that had been established the two previous years by taking second in state both years. That caused the team to strive more than ever for that long sought after state title. Even though gymnastics is sometimes thought of as an individual sport, the Tonka team felt that they could achieve a much better outcome if they worked together as a team. Team songs, secret cupids, and the long, but enthusiastic bus rides after the victories were just a few of the memories that the Minnetonka gymnasts of ’78 will carry with them always. The way that the girls displayed their talents all over the region made the entire student body aware of them and proud to call them our own.

Mike Thomas and Don Dorrow were the leading scorers this year. Those often last efforts to try and make a score became a routine for Tonka’s starting five. The captains were David Hohnson and Tim Donlin. The guys worked hard every day at their 2-3 hour long practices, which at times seemed to be a waste of time. Even though they sweated away their afternoons their record for the season was 2 wins and 16 losses. Many of the games ended up very close and disappointing. Such as the game against Richfield when we lost 51-50. It is true that Tonka did not have the greatest year as far as winning, but most of the guys agreed that it was fun and they enjoyed the friendships during their long hard season. Guard Bill Piwnica said, “Well, we did have super cheerleaders, they did a good job keeping everyone’s spirit going.” One of the best cheers that described the season was: “Charge up! Get going again, don’t ever give up, don’t ever give in. Charge up!” PAGE 170 — Top left: Dave Johnson takes a time out to do some repair work on his shoes.

After three years of building the team’s reputation. Tonka will regret the loss of five seniors who contributed much to the growth of the team.

They worked harder, they had a better attitude, and the team was closer than in the past years.” The captain of the team was Troy Magnuson with alternates Rob Harrington and Rick Carlson. Because of many injuries to some of the players it hurt the team. The biggest accomplishment the team made was their 3-2 victory over Jefferson who, before playing Tonka, were undefeated. The cheerleaders were cute, but the band seemed to do more for the players as for a motivation. No matter how people seemed to feel about hockey as a spectators’ spo t, a good sized crowd of Tonkans always showed up at home games tc do their part to encourage the guy , to win, and it seemed to pay off at least half the time.

There was no competition with other schools in club sports. The idea was to organize enough teams in sports like basketball, soccer, softball and broomball to compete inter-scholastically. The coaches volunteered. If a coach couldn’t be found, the kids coached themselves. A group of senior boys organized their own hockey team which they would like to call a club sport. The group consisted of twenty-two guys. They would get together and play every Saturday at mid night at the Minnetonka Ice Arena. It cost the 22 of them $2.00 each night that they would play. Why did they decide to do it? “For the heck of it,” said one of the members. They divided themselves up into two teams and they enjoyed competing with each other. They both wanted to win and it got kind of rough sometimes, but, “it was great.” Club Sports 177 PAGE 176 — Top left: Pat McCluskey and Mark Rost await another rebound.

Another big bonus for the girls and for the school, was that it was the first year to ever win a Girl’s Track trophy. Bus rides proved to be a great aid to the closeness of the team and the performance in the meets.

Golfers took their clubs out of hibernation, and rackets began to pound tennis balls against the backboards, and soon, even the bubble came down in some readiness for warmer weather. “We had a really good team last year, said golfing coach Norm Garneau. “At Region 6AA, we came in fourth out of 16 teams.” The team could be spotted many days, practicing techniques at Hazeltine, Interlachen, and many other various country clubs, which made their overall efforts successful. And “successful was exactly the word to accurately describe the Boy’s Tennis Team. Their only loss going to Edina-East, made their 1977 season outstanding. At its finish, the team had 1st, 2nd, 3rd, singles in great shape and had a very good year. “Practice,” supposedly, “makes perfect,” and proven by this team of hardworking, goal-directed tennis players, the old saying holds true.

People from Minnetonka would certainly know this was their bubble. The bubble stands 40 feet high and takes up 29,000 square feet. It was put up in the fall of '75. And that same Thanksgiving, collapsed during a blizzard in 60 mile per hour winds. Each fall the bubble is erected and with the first signs of spring, 16 able bodied men are hired to take it down. The tennis bubble is an asset to both the school and the community. The tennis classes get free use under the dome, and during off school hours the community can reserve courts for $8.80 per hour. 182 Baseball, Girls Softball Batter up ! grab your bat, dust off the plate, and swing, BaseballGirl’sSoftballBaseballGirrsSoftballBaseballGirrsSoftballBaseballGir “The locker room was a pigpen, but we had a good team ’ says Baseball Coach Art Johnson. Tonka's handicap was at the bat. They didn’t have too many great hitters last year. Tom Richter held the top with an approximate 355 average. Gigi Brouillette and Mike Burnett were said to have been the team’s inspiration. Gigi really fired the guys up, and the guys respected Burnett, he was a good student and a leader. Mike Burnett and Jeff Crees were the team captains. They got down to four teams in Red Division Regionals, but they got beat out of state. The ’78 team promised to be a good one with players like Russel Jersak, Bill Piwinica, Mike Hazzard, Mike Fisher, Ross Saville, and others helping out. The girls got into the action this year, too. This was the first year MHS had a Girl's Fast Pitch Softball Team. With Coach Julie Berg and captains Kim Niederluecke and Jeanne Burnett, they did pretty good for their first year, in fact, they did great! They won Regionals that were played at Parade Stadium and went on to State where unfortunately, they didn’t place. The ’78 Girls Softball Team remained basically the same, since they only lost three of their last year’s senior players.

Some things were made to happen, and others, well, just did. But nothing inside the year ’77-78 could be xeroxed. The first week of school started out with confusion about the bus Schedules. Waiting a half hour for late buses, seemed to annoy many, but everyone made it through the hassel fine. At the beginning of the year everything was “sophomores, who are they, and what are we going to do with them? As the days progressed it was said that some seniors and juniors were actually talking and associating with them. It was in October that the school was shaken up a bit by the bomb that was setoff, giving the school and the community a scare. The year was an average year for sports with both winning and losing filling the score boards. The spectators were always at their favorite events, whether they made the trip away or stayed for the home matches. Not only did the sports events attract people but the choral and band concerts, plays and talent show, filled the auditorium. Knowing that their fellow students worked hard for their accomplishments, the students at M.H.S. were proud to attend the productions. The winter appeared quickly bringing more cold winds than snow. Skis were waxed, dusted off and tried on to prepare to hit the slopes. Along with the skiing came skating, snowmobiling and the all time favorite — broomball. As anxious as people await the first snowfall, the same applied to the coming of spring.

The tumors — now seniors found new goals, different fads and good times throughout the year. The seniors — now, who knows — maybe famous someday, graduated June 1 st leaving a part of them behind to M.H.S. During the three years at Minnetonka each of the 625 seniors learned something new, that perhaps someday will lead them to their future goals. Many people have different ideas about what a year ’77 ’78 was, and one thing for sure is that time had left all of us a little bit older and a little bit wiser. That’ll be a take alright — let’s wrap it up dances during the year the most loved was Prom. Held in May, it was one of the most memorable events of the year. When the year ended it was only something to look back upon, knowing it would never be again. All in all. it was a great year in the school, community and the nation Some things were better remembered than others, but everything had its reason. The PAGE 206 — Top right: Swimmer.

SPORT EDITOR . STAFF...... ADVISOR...... You may be wondering about a few of the changes in our '78 book, so we’d like to take the opportunity to explain them. We were always saying that it would be a unique and different book, and some of the ideas we came up with and styles we tried hopefully showed you what we meant. First, if you’re curious why we've got color pages in our opening section, it’s because we felt that you wanted something other than the standard, all black and white book. We tried to photograph subjects that would mean something special, especially in color. Second, if you're wondering why our headlines may vary throughout our pages (or why we’ve got headlines at all), it is because we again wanted something that would be described other than “blas6.” We felt that different headline styles and wording expressed the events that happened through the year in a unique way. Each section selected their own style and worked with that on every page they produced. If the headlines look a little crooked, it’s because we hand set them ourselves. Although they may not be straight, we really tried to give you what we thought was best. Thirdly, why are the underclassmen placed at the bottom of pages? It wasn’t to insult anyone, contrary to some opinions. You, in the past, have expressed concern over coverage (and the lack of coverage) and we thought we’d try this year to cover all that we possibly could. Parties were important to you, as were concerts, movies, music and countless other events that placed the underclassmen where they are. This change gave us more space to work with. Finally, you may be TERRI MILSTEAD wondering why we've included more copy than we’ve ever had in the past. It didn't really start out that way, but the more we talked to you, the more we found you had to say. We tried to include as much as possible of what you said and how you felt. After all, we like to hear you, not just see you. And though you may not read all of the copy right away, if you’ve gotten this far, you probably have, and we hope it’s brought back more memories than just the pictures. Whether you like what we’ve done (and we hope you do) or not, we’ve tried to show your year the best way we could. We think this book shows how far we’ve come as a school and how far we've come as a staff. We think it was worth it. Minnetonka High School 1978 Voyageur What a year!
