Our position has remained constant, but our direction has shifted. We’ve come about” with a change of direction, attained fulfillment in our attitude, activities, and our daily actions. New programs such as the Senior and Sophomore Executive Boards, the new sports conference, and new additions around the school itself (the weight room, a new track, and soundproof music rooms) have contributed to more work and opportunities for everyone in all areas of study. This year marked the beginning of many of these new programs, ideas, and improvements. Now that we’ve “come about” again, we are looking forward to the inevitable changes to come in the future. 1 PAGE 2: 1: Tim Malooly lakes advantage of the new soundproof practice rooms. 2: The newly founded Senior and Sophomore Executive Boards help with the planning of activities like Homecoming.

Opening 3 Many students discovered that as we came about, the sailing wasn’t always smooth. Sometimes “hiking-out” (the action of leaning out to counteract the force of the wind in order to stabilize the boat) was required to steady us when the wind was strong. At MHS, the students that “hiked-out” seemed to stabilize our school. Groups like SWAS, Mini-school, and Vo-Tech met all peoples’ needs and still created this stability. It took courage to risk hiking-out just as it took courage to risk rock-climbing, taking accelerated chemistry or skipping a class. We know we had to take these risks as did the sailor. By hiking-out, the sailor is meeting a challenge that he must face. We met our challenges of passing math, meeting sports obligations and getting past John Burns in the parking lot. We weren’t always ready for the consequences just as it wasn’t always clear sailing for the sailor. But, we frequently had the option to hike-out” without fear of capsizing. l ■1 Opening Section PAGE 4: 1: A SWAS student takes a great risk while rock climbing at Taylors Falls.

Opening Section 5 The Hull We begin our sailboat by building the hull. The hull or frame of a ship furnishes buoyancy and supports the other parts of the boat. We, the student body at Minnetonka, form the hull of our ship, “MHS”. The decisions we make and how strong we are directly affect the rudder (academics), main sail (sports), jib (organizations), and the mast (student life) of “MHS”. We decide which clubs to join, which sports to support and which subjects to take. All our actions, whether major or minor, affect our school in some way. Students are the basis of our school. Just as a sailboat could not remain afloat without its hull, our school could not function without its students. PAGE 6: 1: Courtney Work grins.

At Minnetonka, a tenth grader was only in his first year, definitely considered a lower classman. “It’s like getting a swirly every day of your life.” said Paul Stiller, half seriously and half jokingly. ‘‘Being a sophomore is like being cut down from the race.” he added. Julie Flaskerud went right to the [joint, “It's the pits! It's boring and I hate being the youngest!” Being a sophomore at MHS is even worse when you have an older brother or sister. “It’s like being a fine young fawn nibbling on clovers and grass, when all of a sudden, you choke on a hunk of slug, and die.” Tim Prague wittily contributed. Dave Lund even made up a limerick: “There once was a sophomore who stated; Seniors are cloned, not created. The senior class after his-------, and now his body is deflated. Being a sophomore is not bad. Renae Olson said. “It’s fun, meet all kinds of people and there are a lot of clubs for every interest imaginable offered. Diane Wakefield was a little lukewarm about the good reasons for being a tenth grader, but she added. At least it’s better than being in Junior High. “The only good thing, Michele Milstead said, is that you can't be blamed for anything. You’re sup-jjosed to be a ‘dumb’ Sophomore ’ All in all, everyone agreed that they couldn’t wait until next year when they could pick on SOPHOMORES!

Quickly you reach in and grab a piece of lemon candy. That was the hard way to get a treat at MHS. Many teachers would hand out candy as often as assignments. Such as when you were assigned to the sweat shop to take a test and relied on Mrs. Titsworth’s treats to get you through. Those great suckers, that Mr. Skoy found excuses to give out: birthdays, a girl’s basketball victory, or just because it was Tuesday. When it became unbearably hot, Mr. Skoy would provide popsicles to cool his English classes. Of course, the science wing had their share of confections. Thanksgiving turned chemistry into Thames’s Candy Shop, which smelled of wintergreen, cinnamon, and licorice. Then around Christmas, chemistry classes transformed into old fashioned ice cream parlors. These suckers, ice cream, lemon drops provided the kind of encouragement we thrived on. 1.

The result, a four-lane highway, will be a great convenience to the growing city of Minnetonka, but the process is an inconvenience. The task of reaching the 7-Hi shopping center, or the high school, for that matter, was more like an obstacle course than a drive. Once you have maneuvered through the road blocks, weaved past the dump truck, and avoided the smokescreen of dust and dirt blocking your windshield, the path was clear. Unless, of course, you happen to hit a cone, an oncoming car, or a construction worker. They tell us, Highway 101 should be completed sometime in 1979, but that does not help when you have to get a tow truck to pull you out of the mud. 1: A familiar sight to thoae living in Minnetonka.

MePariln Many sophomores became obsessed with going out to lunch every day. Daily stops at Taco Shop or Mac Dons made a real dent in the pocket book, and the weekly lunch allowance from mom or dad lasted at the mast two days. This, however, was not the big problem, it was getting there in the first place. The really fortunate kids were the older ones in their class with their licenses. And even that did not matter unless they had a car. If a kid had all of these and a tolerable personality, he or she was popular. Not too many 79 sophs had cars and the ones that did could have been lucky or not as fifteen kids packed their bodies into their car without an invitation. As if this wasn’t enough of a hassle, they were also faced with sneaking past that good old parking lot attendant. (J.B.), not at all an easy task, especially when assorted limbs were soon falling out your windows. Among driving sophomores were Mike Moe and Tom Kingston and though often going somewhere meant a discomfort, it was worth it to many sophomores and is one of the memorable things about the sophomore class. I: .-kingoff to grab a quick one at Wendy's is not as easy as it seems. Squished into a Honda are, Susie Severson. Bill Wilder and other sophs in the back seat. _ Sophomores Lo-Mi V Moody K .Venn R Moons J. Morten H. Mueller M. Mullen T. Myers J.Neogele .. ... D. Nelson G Nelson K Nelson L Nelson T.

Well, there are many different opinions. “Being a junior is like lreing in the middle of an Oreo cookie, Dave Larson says sarcastically, “you’re being pushed from the upper classmen and by the lower classmen. It feels like being the middle sister in the family of three girls. You don’t get any attention anymore. You can’t be rowdy like the sophomores, but yet you can't Ik sophisticated ! ccause that’s supposed to l e the seniors' bag. But some other juniors think lieing a junior is suave, sophisticated, debon-naire and they rule the world. It’s Jello,” says Chris Theilan, but it sure is better than being a sophomore!” Hal Claque puts in his two cents worth, Being a junior is finding sophomore girls in the guy’s can, writing on the walls.” “It is really a farce. It's like the best of both worlds, you can go out with the sophomore girls and the senior girls. murmured Dave Stanoch. “But you don’t go out with either, ha, ha, ha, adds Linda Seifert. Well, overall, it seems everyone had interesting opinions, but one thing they all agreed on was that it was definitely belter than being a sophomore.

The girls, of course, were constantly on a diet (at least during school). We all knew that as soon as many of them stepped into their front doors after school the next door they opened was the one attached to the refrigerator. After chowing down some of the most accessible munchies, they decided to take their coats off and stay awhile and really get down to some serious eating. Many of the individuals engaging in this particular diet plan known as “start tomorrow” found the bathroom scale needle either remaining in the same spot or advancing in an unfavorable direction. Wrestlers, on the other hand, had no choice but to lose weight before a weighing in on the day of a match. Often times a wrestler could l)e seen trying to make the very most of a stick of gum. At any rate, dieting was a way of life for some and a necessity for others. S AiPiUii J.Addbon J.Anwrn K.Airuworth L Ain worth B. Allen T. Alknaworth J.Amann G. Anderson M.

L Mnrywn What can a dollar buy? Not much, it all depended on how well you spent your money. At best, you could buy five packs of your favorite gum; one hot chocolate and four glazed doughnuts from the a la carte room, or a ticket to a high school sports event with twenty-five cents left to spend on something you don’t really need. For many, it seemed that the more money they made the more reasons they could think of for spending it. Many kids found themselves working for a car, and other things. In any case, money was an important thing in many lives just as it has Ijeen and probably always will l e.

Wilharm Junior Sc-Wi Tough” was the best expression crosscountry ski coach Jerry Wilke could think of to describe the ’78 all girl team. 1978 being the first year that there was such a team, the girls didn’t have much experience going for them. The team was made up of twelve girls, ten of whom were on the varsity team, and a few unofficial boys. The girls made up a strong team because many of them had been in fall sports preceding the cross-country ski season and that competitive Minnetonka attitude prevailed. Whether they were good or not, they looked like it in their new, tight, and sexy” (Wilkes said) uniforms. Many kids also, were able to invest in ski package for a minimal price. A set course was five kilometers and meets usually took place at Cleary Lake Park and Highland Park. Three kilometer relays were also a part of the competition. Technique was the main thing that had to be worked on but sophomore Disa Larson seemed to l e born with it. She had the best time on the team and Wilkes felt that she couldn’t be beaten! Looking ahead it appears as though the progression of the girls cross-country ski team will be up hill. PAGE 27: ROW 1: Jill Warner, Tracy Ann Oconasck. BACK ROW: Amy Grade, Disa Larson, Tracy Smith.

You become the top of the heap, the oldest and wisest” the creme de la creme. It was also finding yourself a k credit short during 4th quarter. And how could we ever forget the experience of being turned down by our favorite college? How could we leave all this behind? This was our last year to knock around like a total fool with all our friends, who next year will be scattered all over the country. It was a time to make the most of because soon it was over and just a thing of the past. It wasn’t all peaches and cream, but we had a good time doing the things we did. It seemed like for so long we looked forward to senior year and graduation with such anticipation, but as the time drew near to leave, then we felt sadness at losing all the good things we’ve had. There will always be so many little memories we will remember and carry with us long after we leave the hallowed halls of MHS and live our lives in the real world. We'll be remembered for what we did, good or bad. but we were what we were, the class of ’79 and finally we can say bon voyage. PAGE 28:2: Debra Bundc puls on n sparkling performance.

Most of the students who took these two college admissions tests experience at least a small feeling of fear. What, might you ask, does ACT and SAT stand for? SAT stands for Standard Aptitude Test, and ACT means American College Tests. SATs cover two areas, math and English. ACTs cover math, English, History, and natural sciences. Both tests are designed to determine the student’s ability to do college work. It was hard to study for these tests, since they covered everything you had learned since day one.

Mark BarthePs SWAS advisor. “He could judge his work objectively and sincerely as to how far he was and how far he had to go. Mark worked first with wood and brought his talent to public attention. His last works included an ashtray for the faculty lounge and a set of dishes in clay. Mr. Myers, his art instructor, attributed his talent to manual dexterity” and “a good feel for wood and clay. He was an independent student who liked to make and correct his own mistakes without being steered. And he spent more time in the pottery room than could be required. Mark also built a following of students who liken! his work and would watch him. He would not accept the minimum and he went to school for what he could get from it. Mark Barthel, a senior at MHS, was killed December, 1978, in a snowmobile accident. Many will remember Mark for his diligent work at his pottery wheel and for his easygoing attitude.

It was equipped with a computer, many books and counselors. So, when mom and dad started getting on our cases about Harvard and Yale, we remembered the career center.

But when they thought of the U.S. these same people thought of home, opportunity, Minnetonka, and friends. However, to Yamini Kanasabai, Karin Siljedahl and other exchange students going to MHS, America meant something else. Everything from the food to weather conditions contrasted with these lands. Here at MHS, seniors were worrying about what they were going to do after high school. They considered college, careers, and marriage. Whatever the choiceexchange students found they had a lot in common with MHS students once they adjusted to the differences. As Yamini said, “The worst part about being in America is missing home but most of the time it is fun. PAGE 34: Exchange student, Lotta Stendahl.

Greg had a rare talent that set him apart. By simply listening to a song, he could play it without the aid of written music. Greg had been playing the piano ever since the age of two. He never took lessons, talent and dedication alone put him where he was. Greg carried a cassette tape recorded with him on which he recorded music. Later he would play it back and listen to the melody and tones. After listening to it for about a week, he could sit down at a key board and let his “Magic fingers” do the rest. Greg not only played for his own enjoyment, but he also accompanied small singing groups, and participated in the variety show. Who knows what lies ahead for Greg Foote?

Most of us found ourselves in this situation quite a few times during our years at M HS. Homework piled up fast when you ignored it, you couldn't go anywhere until it was done, and it caused numerous headaches. The mornings after were the worst. You showed signs of a “homework hangover”; throbbing head, baggy eyes, and dragging feet. One could always tell the people at school who were suffering under the strains of “homework hangovers . They were the ones who fell asleep in the front row of classes, and roamed the halls like zombies until hour 4-5. It seemed that homework would remain with us always, a necessary evil and a chronic pain in the brain. PAGE 37: Betsy Holt.

MHS students began to consider this problem their senior year. But sophomore year more important things arose such as how to pay for dates, gas, clothes, and most of all, food. Most students answer to this problem was employment. When you were trying not to be seen on Saturday morning or other ugly moments you didn’t risk going into K-Mart, Perkins 7-Hi, Bacon Drug, or Burger King, ’cause you knew you couldn’t avoid an MHS employee. Lots of students were employed by their fathers and neighboring shopping centers. Working gave MHS students responsibility and a chance to meet people, but most of all it gave them money.

Kick’s games were a real big hit among Minnetonka students. As spring rolled around, kids headed out to the stadium for a little soccer action. But the tailgating was what really drew them in. Grilling hamburgers, playing fris-bee and sociali2ing were all activities seen in that parking lot. Most of the time, people spent more time in the parking lot than watching the game.

Some of the more original laughs heard around MHS belonged to Kathy Jarcho, Cid Waldo, Julie Schrupp and many others. Seniors laughed at a wide variety of subjects. These laughs ranged from remembering the unexpected events that happened at Homecoming and Sadie to dirty jokes. However, the seniors, favorite target was, and always will lie, the sophomores. Other thoughts that brought moments filled with mirth were the “hilarious” ABUF and C-squad skits at pepfests and the embarassing days of the B-squad initiation. Laughing got us through each day.

At MHS, the seniors decided that, because of the cold halls, the radiators would have to do the job. Many students rushed through lunch or skipped it altogether during winter, just to grab the hot radiator before someone else did. And they usually got there just in time for the hall monitor to tell them to socialize in some other place. It was hard to believe that a sweater, a shirt and a turtleneck weren’t warm enough. But in addition to heat the radiators provided a good place for conversation and l eing with friends. PAGE 47: Shirley Johnson and Jim Calgrcn.

All these symptoms were sure signs of “senior slump.” “Senior slump” was not a disease, but a state of mind. It began about the time colleges sent out acceptances. Once accepted a “why try” attitude took over. Then, skipping classes and not turning in work became routine. In the spring “senior slump was further aggravated by “spring fever” and the need to be outside increased. Since many seniors were eighteen, notes were no problem. They were “absent”. When did the slump end? For some, not until it was replaced by freshman fears but for others participating in pre-graduation activities, attending prom, the senior breakfast, and watching graduation exercies was enough to bring them out of the “senior slump”.

People went to Florida to swim, waterski, deep-sea dive, sunbathe and to play at Disneyworld. But, yet at Colorado there was downhill skiing, mountain climbing, snow shoeing and cross country skiing. It’s too bad we could not discover a new state and maybe call it “Colorida, it would have saved a lot of time and gas. You could have killed two birds with one stone. But those are called the long vacation spots. Over the little workshop breaks it seemed many other seniors were looking at colleges such as St. Olaf, M aka to, U.M.D., and others.

It’s also a place to get lost, wear freshman beanies, hit the books, and go to frat parties — Animal House style. We in Minnesota are lucky to have many good state universities. Each year, many MHS graduates go to study at one of these state schools. Universities offer you the time and facilities to prepare for the career you chose to continue after you graduate.

Yes, it was true, we all knew that sophomores were rowdy, but even upperclassmen were active in this zoo. The classrooms were the cages, where trapped students paced around, waiting to be given a chance to be released into the exercise allies — the halls. As the hour neared the end, all eyes focused on the clock, muscles tensed and nerves twitched, then class was dismissed! The stampede started! The halls between classes seemed like they were crowded with a herd of buffalo. One had to be careful not to be trampled in the midst of thousands of their fellow students. With exercise completed, it was lunch; feeding time. Many tables somewhat resembled feeding time at Monkey Island. But the fear of John Burns on the prowl kept rowdy students in check. End of the day was like setting all the animals in the zoo free. Run for Cover! Stampede! Students rushed to the parking lot in droves. The cars scattered in all directions, only to return again the next day for another day at the zoo. PAGE 52:1: Paul Smith relaxes in gym.

At least I never fall asleep,” contributes Christa Cunningham. Diversions are still welcome though, “Like the day the lights went out,” Jodie Hunter comments, “Everyone grabbed me because it was dark! Just kidding,” she adds with a laugh. “Its good because we got to stop doing reactions, which I hate,” Lori Larson states. Reading, writing, reacting and expressing are the mainstays of the English curriculum. For a change of pace, classes go to plays. There’s also been a couple of switches in teachers. Mr. Garneau is teaching in south Minneapolis and Mr. Schell is teaching here and Mr. Halleen is back from a sabbatical. Mrs. Spiegel traveled in Israel and England while her students had to stay and study. The heart of the foreign language departments are dialogues, stories, drills, exercises and a language lab, where people can listen to tapes, songs and put on plays or skits. There’s a lot of fun and interesting things going on loo. An Amity aide names Adam from Switzerland is here to help in the classes and do research work. “He’s really neat to have,” says Madame Eide. He and other people who use foreign languages in their jobs were here to talk to the students on Career Day. Parties celebrating foreign holidays and their customs included the Day of the Dead and breaking the pihata. Further excursions were to movies and L’hotel de France. Art is another class that offers many opportunities. “It’s the most exciting department,” Mr. Cunningham admits. “About the only one that’s still growing,” he adds. Projects ranging from jewelry to photography are some of the various ways to express oneself. Besides being creative, art class is also a fun class. Michelle Pierce even goes as far as saying, “It's a riot.” One reason art is such an enjoyable elective is because the people choose it.

Field trips and seminars were all part of the S.W.A.S., or school within a school, experience offered to M.H.S. students. The S.W.A.S. program founded in 1970, was an alternative to the mainstream program, and offered a broader learning environment. Students in the program, or in the contracts had a minimum of five credits, (either in S.W.A.S. contracted projects or in the combination with mainstream), on a pass no credit system. To check on each student’s progress they would meet with their advisors once a week. The objectives for the S.W.A.S. students were the same as those in mainstream, but the approach was different. Approximately the same percentage of S.W.A.S. students apply for and enter college, trade school, or work as mainstream students. One approach S.W.A.S. used was group activities: rock climbing trips, a bike trip to southern Minnesota, cross country ski trips, and hiking excursions. Another was seminars: current events, calligraphy, and simple living.

S.W.A.S. 61 Analyzing How many times have you had to rush to chemistry passing the new painting in the science wing that you wish you could stop to examine for one minute, just to get there before the door locks? It seems unfair, but it happens. This year MHS has been blessed with artwork in many departments including math, science, and social studies. The students don’t realize how lucky they are, but try to imagine a blase school with plain yellow walls. The new-painting in the science stair-w-ell was painted by Jim Maertens in the spring of 1978. It is a perfect picture of most students’ image of a scientist with subtle jokes hidden so well that even science teachers have yet to find them. Although social studies often seems like an endless routine of taking notes, reading and tests, the monotony has been lost w-ith the new artwork. Mr. Duff and Mr. Rogness both have paintings in their rooms painted by last year’s graduate 62 Math Scienoe Social Studies Katie Grathwol. The paintings illustrate pictures of boats. The one in Mr. Duff’s room is helpful because it corresponds to his class, “Minnetonka Story.” The math department has something slightly different from painting. Mr. Dicdrich has hung his annual posters of quotations on the walls. The students like them and it keeps his classes alive. Jack Fyock likes them “because whenever I’m confused or bored, I just read a quote. It's a relief.” It’s nice to have cheery math rooms, especially since math itself isn’t always fun. Classes aren’t always exciting.

W Bands Through our music program, MHS can share with the community so that |H ople can see what our school is like, says .loan Larson. The music program at MHS includes three choirs and four hands along with many extra small groups of each. The 270 students that participated in hand wore either in Wind Knsemhle, Symphonic Band, Concert Band or Varsity Band, and each of them put in an hour of hand each day along with practicing alone to perform. Much hard work was exerted by each memlH'r so that the four annual concerts could Ik given with | erfoclinn. The Marching Band, directed by Ken Hallman, w;is an extra band organized and necessary for fall football games. Although any band mcmltcr could volunteer for the band, the student had to be willing to stay after school every day and l� e able to survive through every football game. Minnetonka’s renowned Jazz Knsemhle, directed by Dan Geldert, consisted of only 20 |XK plc. This fall, they were proud to host the famous Woody Herman for an evening at MHS. And, as usual, they were invited hack to play during half-time at a Viking’s game on Deccmltor third. As a social treat, the Wind Knsemhle and Symphonic Bands travelled to Washington, D.C., performing many concerts during their stay. The hand trips have always highlighted the school year for band students who strived together for excellence and at the same time developed deep friendships.

The students practiced five hours a week along with sectionals and individual work. This year the choirs performed many special concerts, Itcsides the usual four. At Christmas time they sang carols at Ridgedale and went caroling through the halls of MHS. As usual, the Concert and Treble Choirs travelled to Chicago, in the spring for a fun break that curved spring fever. And in the State Choir Contest, Sue Stiller qualified its Minnetonka’s first All State Choir member. Although many students put a lot of hard work into music at MHS, the hard work wasn't in vain. The concerts and special events that our choirs and bands participated in were the culminating effect of the students’ hard work. PAGE 68:1: Treble Choir. 2: Varsity Choir.

Desks were replaced by couches and chairs, and bathrooms were converted into the “munchie room” and storage room for the trip equipment. All together there were four classrooms and all were designed to create a more relaxed atmosphere for both teachers and students. Students were also given the option to address teachers by their first names. All of this seemed to put everyone on the same level and created a more informal education which Mini-kids were more willing to participate in. Trips were the main attraction of Minischool ranging from cross-country skiing in Wyoming to attending jazz concerts in New Orleans. It is obvious that Minischool has taken a different approach to education and, said junior Mark Gettelman, “For many students, it is the only approach that works.” PAGE 70:1: Russel Rossing puts the finishing touches on an assignment. 2: Kelly Fisher and Lisa Isaacson work together on a class project. 3: Malt Ruddy catches a few winks of sleep during first hour. 4: Joe Garner and Joe Sparman, on the Gunflint Trail.

Where did the aroma of the food come from while you were trying to concentrate on your science project? Chances are it came from down the hall in the home-ec. department. Students had a chance to express themselves creatively by cooking and sewing. Students saved money by making their own down vests, backpacks, and clothing. Cooking gave students a chance to experiment with different foods and even though things did not turn out every time, students had fun learning how to become future gourmets. The health department was one of the excellent programs this year at Tonka. In fact, the state of Minn, selected our health program as a model for other high schools in the state. Teacher Gary Schmidt described the course as teaching the students to “learn about the balance between the physical, emotional, and mental parts of life.” Unusual seminars and field trips were also a part of the programs. Trips were taken to nursing homes, and funeral homes, and a blind | er-son spoke to classes. A playschool for 3-5 year olds was also held; where students observed the actions of children. Students in the Industrial Arts program got the chance for some hands on experience. The program was open to girls as well as guys. This program included the areas of wood, graphics, metals, drafting, and electronics. Each student chose the direction he or she wanted to go. From then on the student chose the direction of their creativity to design a workable project. Students had the chance to exhibit their products at the Southtown Craftsmen Fair. Some even went to the State Fair. These three departments provided the students with an opportunity to learn through self expressions.

Students were provided bus transportation to commute from MHS to the Hennepin Technical South Campus at 9:30 and 11:30 daily. Three credits were received for one course. The courses offered in ’78 ranged from Horse Care, Auto Mechanics, Building Trades and Cooking. There was something for everyone. Environmental Chemical Technology was a new addition to the offered courses this year. The sole purpose of vocational education during high school was to provide students with an extension of high school curriculum in courses that the high school itself could not offer.

Added to the already extensive phy-ed program was an independent study program for juniors and seniors. The program allowed students to assist in teaching elementary and junior high phy-ed. Cross country skiing and soccer for girls were other added attractions. Several physical changes occurred in the phy-ed part of school too. The weight room and track were the two major changes and improvements were made on the baseball fields. Plans for the future included locker the north wing meant typing and by that knowledge, many of us avoided the area. No matter how frustrating typing was for many, it could be called nothing less than a beneficial course. What typing along with other courses in the business education program offered to students were, 1) preparation for the life of a consumer, 2) provided them with courses that they could use in further schooling and 3) gave them on the job training through the Career Exploration work program.

Student life acts as the mast between the student body (hull) and sports and organizations (main sail and jib). If the mast is not strong it cannot support the sails. And, if we as students are not supportive of our school and don’t actively participate in sports and other extracurricular activities they would slowly disappear from lack of support. Our student life provides this support just as the mast does. PAGE 82: 1: Steve Carmaker takes time out to sit in his trunk.

John I'msscr only in the company of his dug. finds it east to do his South Pacific 2 Minnetonka is known for giving professional looking shows, and South Pacific “was no exception,” says director Joan Larson. In the spring of 1978,49 actors and actresses of MHS worked five hours a day or nine weeks. The outcome six top-notch performances of “South Pacific” and real satisfaction. But the production consisted of more than just 49 | erformers. The show couldn’t have gone on without the director Joan Larson and student director, Dave Williams along with their assistants Jeff Johnson and Ann Maple. They put the show together. Bloody Mary, played by Laura Burton, had to spend approximately an hour each night ratting and painting her hair. Although she was apprehensive, it was necessary for her part of the play. When she was on stage, her stiff, coal black hair stuck out at least five inches. Sue Groth, who played Nellie Forbush, also had to tamper with her hair. During one of the songs, “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair,” she actually had to wash her hair on stage, and it had to be dry within 15 minutes for the next appearance. 86 1978 Musical Besides changing their hair, everyone had to step into a different character. Scott Korzenowski however, really switched when he portrayed a girl in the scene of the variety show. The fact that these jxirform-ers could put on a terrific show and attract a full house each performance night explains why Joan Larson feels that the show specifically worked with the exceptional musical talent at Minnetonka.” PAGE 86: I: During the variety show that the marines pul on, the sailors get to watch the girls . . . 2: Sue Groth and Rob King were the two main characters in South Pacific. 3: The chorus girls accompany Sue Groth in the scene “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair. 4: The guys of the U.S. Marine Core sing “There Is Nothing Like a Dame. 5: Eric Holmgren, Mitch Dann, Scott Korcnowski.

Dances have become more than just a place to meet the sophomores. Dances are a place to sit and talk over the loud music, dance with your favorite girl, make up a group dance or practice your disco moves. Most of the dances have been welcome breaks from the regular school schedule. This year the disco craze has really set in. The music along with the dancing has changed. There isn’t as much hard rock. Most of the music is more rhythmic with a boogie beat. The dancing has changed to a style with more bumping, arm movement and swinging of the hips. Group dances are a real hit. With one dance a month, the students of MHS are given a good chance to “boogie”. The first dance given by the yearbook was so hot that only the real discoers could survive more than two songs before they felt like swimming. But by the time of the Christmas dance given by the Skipj erettes, jkjo-ple had forgotten the hot weather and enjoyed the only semi-formal dance of the year. Since most of the people who have gone to our school dances have had a good time, a favorite song is that invites you to C’mon and dance with me.” SS Dances PAGK 88: 1: Amy Larson an l Gregg Nelson fin l a comfortable place to rest between songs. 2: Anders Knutzen exhibits the Hustle. 3: Sani Glenn and Guy Parish boogie at one of the many canteens. 1: Sue Chatfield displaying a new disco move. 2: Maggie Schwarz, in the heat at the; year! took canteen. 3: I.auric Simeon gets down to the music of A.

Dances 89 Minnetonka presents Minnetonka’s first production of the year was Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Earnest” This play, reputed to be the funniest play in the English language, concerns itself with the plan of Algernon Moncrieff (Eric Holmgren) and Jack Worthing (Steve Goodwillie) to adopt the name of “Ernest” in order to please their sweethearts, Cecily Cardew (Tracy Nic-cum) and Gwendolen Fairfax (Pam LaBerge). The engagements of these two couples is blocked by Gwendolen’s mother Lady Bracknell (Sue Stiller) and Cecily’s tutor, Miss Prism (Karen Anderson). Steve Gamn, as Canon Chasuble attempts to win the affections of Miss Prism, thereby adding another romance to the plot. The play performed on November 16, 17 and 18, was directed by Mr. Brian Halleen who returned to Minnetonka after spending last year on a sabbatical leave. All who were connected with the play should be congratulated on the fine job they did. The Wisdom of Eve — February 8, 9, 10. “The Wisdom of Eve” as the story of Eve 2 Harrington (Kelly Anderson) and her rise to stardom. The deviousness of her character is shown when she tricks Karen Roberts (Lisa Feay) into introducing her to the broad way actress, Margo Crane (Sue Stiller). Eve works her way into becoming the secretary, understudy, and eventually the replacement for Margo. Her selfish motives and unscrupulous manuevers result in her using people to achieve what she wants. Among these used are Margo’s husband, Clement Howell (Eric Holmgren); Karen’s husband, Lloyd Roberts (Jeff Quam); Margo’s agent, Bert Hinkle (Mike Gingerella); and Tally-Ho Thompson, a sneaky reporter (Steve Goodwillie). Others in the cast include Karen Anderson as Margo’s maid; Colleen Christensen as a struggling actress; Karla Konrad as a dresser; Ann Fredricks, Janet Dann, and John Morris. Due to the difficults of this play, the performances were cancelled at the request of the cast, done well. PAGE 90: 1: The cast of “The Importance of Being Earnest”.

Delivered on Thursday by the choirs they ranged from obscene to inside jokes. Like “Michille My Bell” sent to Michelle Milstead, by an unknown admirer. The tension heightened 10th hour as each broomball team conspired to sweep the opposition off their feel. One team consisted of experienced junior males (a team of male skipperettes chickened out) and the other team consisted mainly of females. Any obvious pregame predictions were probably correct. The latter team lost by a landslide. Jan. 26: Sock Hop In traditional 50’s style everyone arrived in poodle skirts, rolled jeans, letter sweaters, bobbie socks, ponytails and D.A.S.

The history of 1978 began with Muriel Humphrey’s temporary occupation of her late husband’s senatorial seat. Then, in the first election since Humphrey’s death, independent republicans: A1 Quie, Rudy Boschwitz and Dave Durenburger, gained positions formerly held by the Democrats. President Carter stepped in, to attempt to negotiate peace between the mid-east countries Israel and Egypt. The Camp David talks between Begin, Sadat and Carter ended with favorable results and hopes of a treaty signed December 16, however, it was not accomplished by that date. Both mid-east rulers were awarded Nobel Peace prizes. Another negotiation resulting in our favor was the opening of relations with China on January 1. In general it enabled the U.S. and China to recognize each other’s existence in the commercial world. Other events that dominated te news involved religion. First and foremost was the death of Pope Paul I, unfortunately, the reign of this Pope ended shortly after his death leaving the position open. The ceremonies were repeated once again and the result this time was the coronation of Pope John Paul II, from Poland, ending the Italian dominance of the position. Another religious disaster occurred in Jonestown, Guyana involving the suicides of nearly one thousand members of a religious cult led by Reverend Jim Jones. The victims were told by their leader to drink a poison consisting of a mixture of a kool-aid and cyanide which caused their deaths within five minutes. Many of the victims had come from the People’s Temple Cult in San Francisco, California. In attempt to find out what was going on in Jonestown, a Democratic representative of California, Leo Ryan and his group flew there. Five including Ryan, were shot while boarding the plane home. It could very well be the most horrifying mass suicide that ever occurred. Another tragedy faced by San Francisco, was the assassination of two political leaders George Mosconi and aide Harvey Milk, shortly after Guyana. Whether political or religious many astounding events occurred in 1978. It was history in the making. PAGE 94: 1: Guyana suicide victims. 2: Peace talks at Camp David.

Homecoming is always a favorite celebration, but this year MHS was filled with a special spirit. Everyone seemed to find something to smile al out. Whether it was being a queen candidate or seeing an old friend who came back for the festivities. Even the weather pulled through, for once it didn’t rain. The week began with a lucky break for the students, no school on Monday, which was a perfect opportunity for the powderpuff football game. Although the senior Savages skunked the cheerleaders and Skipperettes, everyone had a blast, especially the male cheerleaders. With Eric Peterson’s jumps they could have been mistaken for B-squad cheerleaders. “Pep fest today, no Bio!” Everyone was relieved to miss class for the Homecoming Pep Fest on Tuesday, which was the first organi' .cd one MHS has seen in a long time. As usual. The Skipperettes cheerleaders, C-Squad, and ABUF gave their shows, yet the announcement of the King and Queen candidates along with the great Male Ski| -perettes” highlighted the pepfest. The royal tea was a sj ecial event for the candidates and their mothers. It was a great time for them to discuss their amazement and excitement. Wednesday was the big day — the day the Homecoming King and Queen were crowned. 3 Homecoming 101 102 Homecoming Each of the candidates was dressed in their best formal wear and smile. The biggest smiles, however, were worn by the chosen king and queen, Amy Munger and Phil Bowman. Despite the cold weather, the annual parade in Excelsior was carried through and participants were successful in hiding their chills. Everything turned out great! The football game was the climax with an unexpected victory over Richfield, the first in years. As Allan Kelly, and many others thought. “The dance was a riot!” “Bluer than Blue. But rather than depression, it symbolized pride in our school colors. The Homecoming dance was a success, too bad it was so short. Like previous years, Homecoming 78 was a special time, but because of the great amount of time and coo] eration put into the planning of the festivities, everything went more smoothly than usual.

Every school year is unique. Of course, the main thing affecting a given year is the attitude, spirit and personality, of the student Ixnly and the way he or she dresses. This year’s fashions were new and different, although the old familiar ones were not forgotten. New fashions this year included sheik, tight-fitting French jeans, usually cuffed-up and worn with a tunic or some short collared blouse with a tie at the neck. At the foot of the fashion scene, the Bass shoe became a popular item along with clogs, l� oots, and Famalores. The skirt length was longer this year than it has been in the past, hanging midway between the knee and the ankle. When out to dinner, most guys could be seen in their prep-pie blue sports coats and khakis. The familiar casuals such as wool, cable knit pullovers and cardigans were worn over a plain buttondown shirt, Cords, khakis, and, of course, jeans, were naturally worn along with the usual Tretorns, Docksiders and clogs.

In 1952 M.H.S. was just beginning and the students realized they should decide on a name for their sports team. At that time, just as now, the l oauti-ful, neighboring, Lake Minnetonka provided kids with recreation, sailing ! eing a major activity. The sophomore student body voted on the name “Skippers”, and they selected ice blue and navy as our school colors, which later became our present day white and navy, also relating to the lake. Of course, we all know our school song. But. how many of us really knew anything about what we were singing at those second hour pep fests? Twenty-six years ago, Mrs. Einer Anderson, a gym teacher at the time, organized a pep-club consisting of l olh students and adults. At one of their first meetings the problem of a school song came up. The brain storming began and the lyrics for our familiar old alma mater were born. Then, a few years later the Rouser’s created our friend and school mascot, “Oscar” the Octopus. All this represents Mtka. What could be associated more with Mtka than the capital M”? But the “M” that went unnoticed by many was the one inlayed on the floor of the main entrance. At one time it was the sacred property of the seniors, and the duty of the senior guys was to protect it from the underclassmen. Thru the years many individuals and organizations have contributed to the development and personality of M.H.S. We have played our part in the growth of Minnetonka by keeping in touch, through our symlx ls, activities, students, with the communities’ rapid expansion. time. Rah! Rah! Rah!

Wind helps, but to capture it for the boat’s use it must have sails. The primary sail is the main sail, then the jib. The main sail is sports. It provides the strength to weather rough winds, just as the athletes are strong to weather physical injury and mental defeat. Even when the wind is good the main sail must work to continue the smooth sailing. So the athletes continue to practice during winning streaks to finish as smoothly as they started. And like the mast supports the main sail, the fans support Tonka. PAGE 112: 1: Shirley Johnson routinely tapes Carol Van Tassel before each soccer game.

Don’t be disillusioned, besides the fun, track was agonizing and grueling. “Interval days were the pits,” remarked Ann Ocenasek. On those days many runners experienced riggy”, an inside joke, that we will now reveal. Riggy is like rigormortis (stiffening of the muscles after death). The runners had many other miserable moments. They’ll remember the 6:00 am practices for boys, after school the girls joined them in the bubble, where oxygen soon became scarce. “Practices were really rough,” says Jon Ahern. Sparrow road was the worst to run, because of the hills.” Not saying the teams didn’t have their high points. They did. Records were broken by Diane Schmidt, Cheryl Sikorski, Deb Benson, and Eva Ljungstrum, a foreign exchange student. Outstanding boys were K. Kruell, Steve Grunewald, V. Rodrigue, T. Stambaugh, D. Dorrow, and J. Hoopes. The two teams were like one big happy family. Everyone was full of spirit and support for their teammates. All families have heads, and the coach of the girls’ team was Bob Rog-ness, with Martha Robinson assisting. The boys “hog” (Weightmen) coach was Joe Lane. Gary Schmitt was responsible for the distance runners, and Jerry Hovland had charge of sprinters. Was it worth the pain and agony? After thinking for a while, Scott Angle said, “Yeah, it was worth it, after track season is over you’re in shape for anything.” PAGE 114: 1: Juli Larson goes up and over the high bar. 2: Brad Angle strives for his hand-off man. 3: Tom Kooy struggles for the finish line. 4: Judy Dirks displays her starting form.

Boys'and Girls'Track 115 3M MS We were a young team, but we were good, says shortstop Bill Piwnica. Youth appeared to be no handicap to the team as they finished the season with nine losses making them fourth in the league. They led the conference in batting average though they lost in the first round of the play-offs. Every day practicing tended to get a little tiring, but Ken Smith spoke for the team when he said, “it was worth it. The girls had to practice, but did they complain? For the second year that Tonka has girls’ softball, they only had three seniors in the starting line and one sophomore, Lisa Brown. They had finished the season with a record of eleven wins and eight losses. Captains Jeanie Burnett and Rosie Coons had the highest batting average on the team and they provided a good foundation for a strong team. The team reached the semifinals at region but were defeated The girls had fun and also agree that, “it was worth it” PAGE 116: 1: Lisa Brown waits for the ball to cross the plate. 2: Jill Robertson shows her form pitching PAGE 117: 1: During Tonkas big win over Fridley John Lcisz bangs another big hit 2: Mark Brand shouts some encouragement to Mike Hazard at a close play at first base. 3: Kathy Hartman waits for the ball at a close at first base. 4: Marcia Gyorfi prepares to bang out another big hit 5: As the innings roll on.

A party, a concert, or just a night of cruising Hopkins. Well, you’re wrong! What really followed was a challenging varsity tennis team match. That’s the way some of our tennis team gets psyched up. They had a record of 14 wins and 1 loss. They made it all the way to state sectionals where they lost their first and only meet to Edina East. Our best meet was probably the one against Edina where we met one of our closest matches. “But tennis racquets 1 11$ Golf and Boys’ Tennis weren't the only thing swinging last spring. Our golf team was out there swinging their clubs. They had a record of 7 wins and 3 losses. Our most enjoyable meet was the Edinville Invitational,” says Jeff Quam. We all got along well together and we were all pulling together,” and the golf team’s good record proved this.

Golf and Boys'Tennis 119 Earwac and Snort were the captains of the 78 football team. Otherwise known as Eric Peterson and Tim Mortensen, they provided a good foundation for the team. Their goal was to have a good season, and with the help of coaches Soukup, Lane, Josephson, and Parks, they met their goal. However, four wins and five losses were not accomplished by eating “Whcatics” alone. Practices began in the summer and when school began were held at 4:00 a.m., or after school. They lasted up to three hours, included weekends, and were usually followed by locker room fun and follies, which were too gross to mention. The team started off their season optimistically. Their 30-12 victory over Edina-West, the team predicted to take the state AA championship title, was nothing less than motivating. Tonka’s Homecoming victory was also very impressive, as it was the first time in Minnetonka history we had beaten Richfield. Fuzybear Quam, Minz Pwinica, Boofoo Radzeij, Flash Flaskerude, Oodie, Kuz, and the rest really had a special kind of personality this year. This personality was displayed in “jock-hall” and also shone through in the Powderpuff football game, where they switched roles with the cheerleaders. That’s a sight we will never forget. The team was also a superstitious one, and often engaged in ceremonial sacrifices with flies, ants, and spiders. On the day of the last game of the year, they even went as far as to paint themselves with war paint.

It means “we look like pros! exclaimed the soccer players. Minnetonka’s first girls’ soccer team did look like pros. However, the girls weren’t lucky enough to win more than one game throughout their season. It was hard on the team to lose, but we still had lots of fun,” said team co-captain, Wendy Halverson. Each time the team lost they were disappointed, but they never gave up, and they kept working hard. Minnetonka was the only new team in the Lake Conference so it was especially difficult. Other teams had been working together for a number of years. Minnetonka’s only previous experience was the girls’ soccer intramural program. Conference games are also a lot rougher than intramural games — this proved to keep the girls motivated. Although they weren’t winning, the players never lost sight of their new goal; winning a conference game. And when they finally did it by beating the top team, Jefferson, 1-0 they were elated. “It was the best game! We deserved to win,” said Shirley Johnson, and we knew we could do it!” PAGE 122: 1: Katie Conklin worries about the oppositions position. 2: Discouraged soccer women at half time listen attentively to a positive.

Minnetonka was treated to its 6th season of boys varsity soccer this year, more exciting and competitive than ever. On Tuesday nights, the MHS field was the scene of these fast-paced games. The team steadily improved during the season to finish with a 6-5-4 record. All the members of the varsity team this year were seniors, leaving some promising juniors in JV to be brought up for next season. Fans enjoyed a team with some outstanding players, such as Russ Jersak, Ben Ziegler, Kurt Schmid and Mark Johnson, along with many others. Individual accomplishments and talents were evident such as Jersak’s record of scoring the most goals in a single season. Dependence between players helped to win games for Tonka, although many times games resulted in heartbreaking overtime losses. “We could have gone to state except for some bad breaks,” said coach Nelson, ‘‘but we played many games during the season that showed our skill.” In games such as those against Burnsville and Kennedy. One unusual situation occurred this year when the rivalry game against Edina-East was called on account of lighting. Tonka players took pride in their wins. Wins took good coaching, dedication, and long practice hours. The team was coached again this year by Randy Nelson, with help from John Ettinier, who was described as “irreplaceable.” The 78-79 soccer season was a very exciting and worthwhile year. The season had its ups and downs as in any sport but we are certainly glad that Tonka had such a talented and enthusiastic team to represent our school.

For some it meant three hours of hard work, the price of a mediocre shrimp dinner at a familiar lakeside restaurant, or a double album set of the greatest hits by your favorite rock group. However, for the girls at Minnetonka who signed up for a season of interscholastic tennis, it meant a lot more than merely having towel privileges. For more than twenty girls that participated in tennis during the 78 season, it was a learning experience. The two hour practices each day after school gave the girls a chance to develop skills in tennis, such as bettering their serves and building up strength and accuracy in volleying. Even more important, it was a chance to create new friendships with others who were certain to have at least one common interest. At every practice there was a constant strife to be just a little bit better than yesterday. And getting that serve in seemed to be just a bit more crucial when the football team passed the courts on their way to practice. For the first time in the history of Minnetonka, the girls’ tennis team lost two conference meets and was beaten out of a chance to compete in state competition as a team. Part of the reacon was the absence of Heidi Hensel, who quit early in the season to participate in an Oceanics program. None of this seemed to hamper the teams determination. The girls continued practicing daily with hopes of placing in state individual competition. All the effort paid off for Magge Wilder and Heidi Reid when they accepted the title of second place doubles in the state of Minnesota.

The 1978 MHS cross-country team consisted of mainly juniors. After school the team ran seven to ten miles a day. That’s fifty miles a week, 200 miles a month, to sum it up, a pair of jogging shoes had over 800 miles put on them by the end of the season. That’s covering a lot of ground! It’s statistics like that that make people really wonder why anyone would choose to be in such a sport. Senior Julie Schrupp said it was worth it because she liked her teammates, she wanted to keep in shape, and she just plain liked to run. Julie was the most consistent runner on the '78 team. The only senior boy was Todd Bauer; he was considered by coach “Schmitty” to be in the top one percent in the state. Juniors and sophs did not go unnoticed. Juniors Tom Kooy, Brad Angle, Brian Angle, Tracy Timberg, and Donna Hanson provided us with good expectations for next years team, along with an impressive new addition to the team, soph Blake Kruell. The teams fin- ished well, both having 6-2 records. The real test was the region meet at the Hollydale golf course. The weather was cold and windy, and there was an ever present fear of stiff muscles. First the girls ran their two mile course. Julie Schrupp finished first for Tonka, and twenty-third over all, followed by Tracy Timberg. Donna Hanson, and Jill Warner. The boys race followed. It was a tough three miles, with Todd Bauer heading the pack, placing 15lh. Tom Kooy was next for Tonka, then came Blake Kruell and Brad and Brian Angle. Tonka finished third for the second year in a row were beaten out of the chance to compete in the state meet by one place.

Cross-Country 129 While some of us were all bundled up in our coals, mittens, scarves, and boots, or all snuggled up in front of a nice warm fire, our girls swimming team was out building a terrific reputation for Mtka. We really did great this year.” They only lost one meet and the girls came in first at the rcgionals. All of us get along really well because we all pull together.” Some of the events they swim are the medley, 200 free relay, 400 free relay, backstroke and breaststroke. The team practiced at West Jr. High. Most of the girls on the team have swam competively before, some were involved in the A.A.U. program. The peak of the season was going to the state meet. With Staci Huntington diving, and Anne Moser’s last year’s performance, the team was set. We were all expecting Anne to top her performance and she did! She broke the record in the breaststroke. The rest of the team did well too, with Staci Hunting-ton taking 16th in diving, Carolyn McCallum 6th in the 50 yard free, and Sue Thomas with a third and a 4th, the team did well. Even though they didn’t take the state title (they placed fourth) we were all satisfied with their performance.

To the girl's volleyball team it meant a lot of hard work and a great season. They ended their season with a record of 20-5. But besides a good record, they were champions of the Macalaster Tournament for the third consecutive year, second in Lake Conference and second in regionals. With a starting line-up consisting of five seniors and one junior, we were a strong team,” says team co-captain Joan Stoltman. Most of the girls have been playing together for three years, which gives them much experience. The team played their toughest match of the year in regional playoffs against Armstrong. Because of a tie in the first two games 18-12 and 12-18, they had to play a third game. Although the score was close, 18-20, Minnetonka lost and went to take second place. All in all, the Minnetonka girl's volleyball team had a good season. It took more than good players, however. They couldn’t have done it without their coach. Julie Berg.

Girls Volleyball 133 Basketball. . . that is partly the game consisting of a basket and a ball. But there is much more to it. It takes a great deal of talent and coordination. Which is exactly what our basketball team has. The team now had a record of 0 wins and 14 losses, but didn’t lose faith. As Kevin Russeth puts it, “We have a lot of potential, we just haven’t put it together. Five of the games the Tonka team lost were close and only beaten severely twice. The tallest player on the team is John Erickson who stands a hearty 6 feet-5 inches. The Skippers are a short team but have quickness. Minnetonka’s Basketball team is strong in defense. With Dan Goodrich rebounding, Kevin Russeth scoring and Billy Piwinica leading the floor the team can prove strong to its opponents. True, Tonka has not won a game yet but is winning everything or can teams like Tonka learn from their losses. Basketball blues, for this years team, only refers to their winning record. The team had many memorable experiences on and off the field. PAGE 134: 1: Proving his skill at his jump shot.

That is why the women took the time to sing the song before each game. But more than the ENTHUSIASM song, their hard work and team unity brought them through the season. “We arc tough,” said coach Kingsbury, “And everytime we win we win together! The 13 varsity players, consisting mainly of seniors, had to practice everyday from November until March. Their practicing was directed by the coaches Warren Kingsbury and Einer Anderson. “They know the game,” says cocaptain, Mary Alice Isleib, “And they know how we feel.” As a special event, the girl’s basketball team hosted a free-throw contest at every home game. Each organization had the chance to participate through a representative. Not only did it prove to provide thrills, but it also brought more fans to their games. Women in sports has been fairly new to Minnetonka. But women in sports has only proven logical, for their skill is immense.

At the beginning of the season, Coach Mike Larson said, “It’s hard to say how the season will end, but we have a very good team.” The team was young with only eight seniors including Captains Scott Vickerman, Tim Mortenson, and Steve Hommeyer. Scott Pichas and Mike Evans were outstanding juniors that helped round out the team. The team won their first game and the next few were quite close. Senior forward Frank Kuzma said, The team lacked the experience U win those close ones early in the season but we gained a lot as the season wore on.' When asked what he remembered most Frank said, New Years Day wind sprints 138 Hockey The team had practice at 10:00 A.M.!!!” Coach Larson added, “It was a difficult schedule, it was seventeen weeks long, and every team we played, played good hockey. Our team played well, worked hard, and their attitude was excellent.” He finished by saying, “A lot depends on how the puck bounces!” PAGE I: Hockey aclion at MIA. 2: Frank Kuzma is stopped by the goalie only. 3: Andres Knutzen ties up the opponent.

The team started out this year under two new coaches, Pat Little and Dan Larkin. This year’s team consisted of strong returning members from last year’s team, as well as many promising sophomores. Toni Broui-lette, Caroline Millen, Wendy Binger and Kelly Cunningham were just a few of the team’s strong performers. The team had a lot of talent, and it showed throughout the season,” commented Wendy Binger, each meet showed us showing better skills than before.” “Huggable Henry” the stuffed dog mascot was around for good luck, but it was not the dog that won meets for the girls, it was the talent and dedication of the members. This year’s team is smaller than in years past, this helped to create more of a closeness between the members. The girls of ’79 had a season of sped accomplishments and memories that were not soon to be forgotten.

What does it really mean? To a wrestler it showed a real dedication. “Minnetonka has a rich wrestling tradition,” said wrestler Pete Feldmeirer, “and this year we’re keeping it up!” Besides their winning season, the wrestlers participated in several tournaments including the New Prague Tournament in which Minnetonka had 4 individual winners and a team victory. The team’s success was partially due to the closeness of the team. A team prayer in the lockerroom before each match, along w'ith the feeling of “you want to do it for the other guys!” The wrestlers kept going throughout the season.

Organizations are the jib that helps steady the school and student body. The clubs we join, from ABUF to the Computer Club, help us to relieve the monotony of straight academic work. Along with sports (mainsail), they give us an enjoyable balance. When we slip too far into boredom, the yearbook, Rouscrs, cheerleaders, Skipperettes, and Student Government provide canteens to pull us back. We learn from our experiences with these and many others to create new ideas, and to assume responsibility. Without these organizations our school would not Ik balanced just as without the jib our sailboat could not remain steady. PAGE 156: 1: T. Schuele jumps. PAGE 157: 1: C-Souad toga. 2: H. Woosley, J.

The team’s topic this year dealt with energy. They discussed the reduction of energy and the effects of it. The team practiced on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:00 to 3:30. The people on the team had to do much of the research at home, on their own time. The team did very well this year! In the Metro league, which is the league they compete in, they had a record of fourteen wins and only ten losses. But. Steve Leslie and Mike Basset were the only two members that went to regionals this year.

Hut the foreign language clubs have a lot of fun. Anyone who takes a foreign language can be in a club and a lot of jteople participate. The German club had many exciting activities this year. The highlight was a trip to Germany and following closely behind was the annual winter ski trip up north. The Spanish club was also active, and participated in many Spanish cultured events. Seeing Spanish films and eating at Chi Chi’s were favorites along with Spanish speakers, Spanish plays and the annual trip to Spain. Although the French club doesn’t actually exist, the French classes had many field trips to L'Hotel do France and the Magic Pan. A summer vacation in France is being planned for the active French students. In January, the foreign language students clan-ned together for a special activity centered around foreign language career day.” Spanish. French, and German speakers were present and numerous questions flew. Besides the language clubs, MHS has Foreign National Honor Society of which a qualifier must have an A average in their language and a B average in their other classes. The reward is an award on awards night and a nice addition to college applications. Although a lot of fun is involved the societies are designed to give the students I tetter knowledge of the culture as well as the language. 160 Languages PAGE 160: SPANISH NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY: FRONT: S.

That’s only part of the many stunts and dances our Minnetonka Skipperettes do. ‘‘The cooperation between the girls is pretty good but there are times when there’s a bit of friction between us.” The Skipperettes practice three times a week for about two hours. Captains, Sue Schottler and Sally Lederer make up the dances themselves. ‘‘We listen to the music for about four times then we start making up the dances.” Some people think the dances change from year to year but they really don’t. “We all learn pretty much the same things so they don’t change a great deal.” The music has a very upbeat tempo which makes it more distinct and easier to follow. Tryouts are usually held in May. Last year there were approximately fifty girls who tried out and from that number, twenty girls actually make the danceline. And maybe next year we'll see even more out there.

Skipperettes 163 Are Vou Wild fr Crazy Enough The American Brotherhood of Unwed F'athers was otherwise known as ABUF. The captains of the elite club in 78 were Skipper Wyre and Russell Jersak along with about fifteen other Abufers. The enthusiasm of the club this year surpassed all others and played a major part in guiding school spirit among the student body. This enthusiasm was displayed at pepfests, football games, and just average school days. Their major accomplishment in 78 was a party that lasted for 9 consecutive weekends. The guest list included C-squad, a club which ABUF itself helped to create by judging skits. The moons” shone brightly and the mosquitoes were thick in the small auditorium on tryout night. Overall, the skits were a riot, but just like C-squad; often not as funny to us as they thought they were. Twenty out of thirty girls made it that night and now had to worry about an invitation by captains Cindy Musech, Brooks Chandler and Lisa Lee, which was a whole new story. Together the two clubs helped in many ways to get the school spirited.

To most people it meant a day but to the “Breezes” staff it meant two twenty-four days of lay-out and paste-up. Then they would bring the paper into publisher’s service — “always a high point. Another high point or added incentive was credit. This was the first year for credit in “Breezes.” Each editor received one-half credit, and reporters each received one quarter credit. (Writing for all issues or working in depth on half the issues.) The “Breezes” staff, under the direction of advisor, Mary Kay Pilley, and editor-in-chief Claudia Lustig, devised a new approach to the paper. “A better balance between serious and light, with more coverage of classes and a wider variety of people.” “We’re trying to show what we’re like and what makes us that way instead of talking only about school clubs. Another innovative idea had to do with sports coverage. Making it more personal by talking to the athletes, not about them. They also worked for more issues per year instead of the usual one per quarter. The staff, besides “avoiding each other” in the halls was said to be, “enthusiastic and good natured people who always had fun.” They gave a party-like atmosphere to “Breezes” headquarters. And in spite of everything they got the job done. PAGE 166: 1: FRONT: Mary Kay Pilley. Connie Larsen. Claudia Lustig. Julie Chalmers.

This year’s president was Cindy Strudel, and the vice-president was Terri Sholle. Advisors were Mr. Steely and Ms. Zenk. The visiting students this year were Connie Larsen from Denmark and Yamini Kanagasabai from Sri-lanka. Other foreign students here this year were Julicns Rubulis from Sweden, Mikael Silje-dahl from Sweden, and Karen Andreson from Finland. Language clubs within MHS provided interested students with a chance to have fun with their languages. Active clubs included Spanish, French, and German. Active students made the program click and provided the visiting students with a good taste of what living in America is like. Ah'S activities include a hayride, pot luck dinners, a Christmas party, and a short term exchange weekend. Travel study trips were a way for Tonka students to experience another country and its culture. Trips to many countries were taken throughout the year. Countries visited this year included Germany, Spain, Greece, Japan and England. Sending time with native families, sampling different foods, and learning about the interesting aspects of these foreign excursions. For those involved, these trips were rewarding and long to be rememl ered. PAGE 168: Are: FRONT: R. Livingston. M. Vinge. S. Erickson, H. Haider, D. Kamran, C. Larsen, Y. Kana-gasabai, D. Meyers. T.

There were one hundred students involved. People from prominent companies such as General Mills and IBM were supplied as advisors and helped to set up actual companies. Money for buying materials is obtained from selling stock. The company picks a product, manufactures it and sells the result. JA products have ranged from macrame plant hangers to personalized matchbooks. JA isn’t all work though. It included fun things like dances, sleigh rides and lock-ins. But overall, to most of those involved, JA is a balanced combination of fun and learning. For those with a lot of spirit and who like to have fun there’s Rousers and Rowdies. Rousers was made up of about twenty-five girls. “There was a good turn-out of sophomores,’’ says vice-president Connie Talsoe. Debbie Dcisher is president. Jeff Slater and Pete Mooers led the members of Tonka Rowdies. Rousers and Rowdies were quite a bit similar, however, Rowdies were crazier. At football games they ran out on the field during halftime and jumped and yelled and rolled around. Rousers have a lot more responsibilities than Rowdies. They support Homecoming and Sadie Hawkins. For Homecoming, Rousers took King and Queen ballots and choreographed coronation. During Sadie Hawkins, Lil’ Abner and Daisy Mae look alike nomination were held. Carnation Day was another contribution of Rousers. Basically Rousers and Rowdies were cheering sections. They went to all the games, home and away, from football to basketball. Whether they won or lost they had a great time. PAGE 170: I: Tonka Rowdies: Jeff Slater. Pete School, Eric Peterson.

The aim of this year’s Student Government was to get as many students involved as possible. Letters were sent out over the summer to involve seniors who displayed leadership qualities. They became the senior executive board consisting of over fifty members. During these summer meetings ideas for sophomore orientation, the powder-puff football game, male skipperettes, hall decorating contests, etc. were conceived. At the start of the school year the junior class faced the loss of their president. Vice-president, Mike Thompson, filled the position, but left the vicerpresidency vacant. After a private screening of speeches presented to the council, the jiosition was filled, and with secretary treasurer, Tracy Smith, they formed the Junior class officers. In August, East met West for the first time at the sophomore representatives meeting. They worked on the sale of class rings and the students faculty basketball game (cancelled due to the prevention of varsity players from playing by their coach)! Other activities worked on by the council included the constitution, of which Mike Thompson was instrumental to its ratification. Snow week, January 22 thru the 26, which proved Murphy’s law: “whatever can go wrong will!” The schedule, which was set two weeks in advance and included the highly publicized MHS pageant, was scrambled due to the weather! Snow cancelling the pageant on Monday and a furnace blowup cancelling Wednesday’s broomball game. It was a year mingled with success and failure, but it was also a vear of new ideas, taking chances and extra SPIRIT!

The stage crew had many jobs to do to make sure the play has atmosphere. They build all the sets for the plays. For ‘‘The Importance of Being Earnest” pillars, a door, and a raised step had to be constructed. Furniture also had to be rented or borrowed. One of the benefits the crew got was that they got to see the plays for free! First they went to a couple of the practices so they knew where to move the furniture and finally on the night of the play they changed the sets and made sure everything ran smoothly. However, everything usually doesn’t go as planned. Stage crew members ranged from five people for “The Importance of Being Earnest” to twenty-five for “South Pacific!” Crewing had a lot of little extras. Getting to know the cast well and going to the cast party were some of the good things. The bad things included having to pay for stolen tools at the end of a play. In the words of one crew member, “It’s so fun it doesn’t seem like work at all.” Behind every event that went on at MHS were four people. These students were responsible for setting up the P.A. systems for Homecoming, Pepfests, sporting events and anything that went on in the auditorium. Being part of the stage crew was often quite tragic. Everything from music stopping to microphones not working happened. A side benefit of being on this stage crew was that they got paid. “It’s fun though,” said Tim Myers who along with Ericke Rosquist, Mark Norton and Pat Gerrity were the stage crew “but once you get in you can’t get out. he says jokingly yet serious.

Smithwick. 174 Stage Crew — Drama Who would’ve thought that the innocent reading of a lx ok for Mrs. Skoy’s Lit. class could’ve led to the feverish but creative work of a summer? Certainly not the thirty some people who were involved in this project. The inspiration was all due to Mrs. Skoy! It began quietly enough when another “uninteresting” lxx k was introduced to her class. The book was The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. “It was boring,” said Margaret Grathwol who played Mrs. Winthrop in the play “but Mrs. Skoy made it kind of enjoyable.” After they finished the lx ok most of it faded from their minds until summer came and they all felt a creative urge to do something. Thoughts lingered from The Scarlet Letter liecause of a hilarious 1920’s video they had seen. So one day a group of friends got together and the work l egan. First a screenplay was adapted by Karen Faster and Christopher Gise who was also producer, director, financier, editor and provider of the camera. In other words The Scarlet Letter was a tale of tragedy and Puritan values. The screenplay kept some of these overtones but mostly it turned the story into a comedy. Everything that needed to be done was done by the students themselves. This included many jobs like writing blank cards because it was a silent movie, making or borrowing “realistic looking Puritan clothes, and even putting together a soundtrack. The music was picked to reflect the feelings of the scene and period ranging from Beethoven’s Fifth to the Alan Parson’s Project and from the Archies to Love Story. Comedy was present from the very beginning of the movie. It l egan with a fifties montage which had nothing to do with the Puritan period of the film. All together the production costs were $250. All the money was provided by Chris Gise who said “Besides l eing a lot of fun the movie was accomplishing because of us doing something like that and getting it done on our own! PAGE 174: 2: R.

Stage Crew — Drama 175 Cheerful chick Two bits, four bits, six bits a dollar, all for Tonka, stand up and holler, say hey! The peppy girls garbed in blue and white cheered our teams to victory. As well as fun. each new s| orts season also brought the traditional B-squad initiation. These newcomers were kidnapped in the dark of 176 Varsity Cheerleaders light and carted off to eat at Perkins at 4 i.m. Some were taken to team captains’ louses while they were asleep, and some were packed into small cars and trucked ver to deface Eisenhowers rock. The next lay in school, they were dressed in all kinds f imaginative outfits to say the least! Then they were made to ask team captains embarrassing questions, and kneel down and hail varsity cheerleaders saying “North, South, East, West, Varsity Varsity you’re the l est!” But they took it all in stride and l ecame official “B-squaders.” With all the pranks over the business of cheerleading started. Cheering at the games did not always go totally without incident. For example, one hockey cheerleader tried skating out onto the ice to do a cheer still wearing her skate guards, and fell flat on her face. Oh well, win a few lose a few! But win or lose, it was the cheer- Varsilv Cheerleaders 177 leaders' job to keep the spirit of the team and the fans up. This was not always easy, especially when your team was hopelessly behind. But most of the time, spirit and high hopes prevailed, and the cheerleaders had a good time bringing a little extra excitement to Tonka sj orts events. What did being a cheerleader mean? In the words of some it’s “sore muscles, making cookies for the players, cold legs and sore throats, pizza fights, wearing wool uniforms in 80° heat, alohas, total rowdiness, tryout jitters, spending hours on locker tags, pigging out, but most of all, fun!” When the season ended, each girl could look back and remember the good, the bad, the embarrassing and the memorable times the sea son held. It was a lot of work for a littl megaphone pin but the cheerleader-wouldn't have traded it for anything. 178 B-Squad Cheerleaders PAGE 176: 1: BASKETBALL: K. Milchcllcllc. P. Rami, S. Titsworth, C.

The 1979 Voyageur yearbook may seem a lot like the 1978 lxx k but it’s not. Although we set our own headlines, included a lot of copy and included color again, there are many differences. The fact that the color is in the middle of the book instead of the loginning, for example, is a shot at creativity. Our white cover (a first in Minnetonka history) is also an attempt at being different. We also tried using some new techniques to add some variety to the book; like (excuse the technical language) “duo-tone” color, thermo-colored”, and “art conversion”. Hut the biggest change in the 1979 yearlxwk was adding a theme. We feel our theme (building a sailboat) portrayed Minnetonka as it was. We tried to include things that interested you as a school and a jjart of Minnetonka (which ranged from the cost of prom to Rousers and Rowdies.) Putting all this together required many lost negatives, chocolate chip cookies, harsh words, and a few all-nighters. Although it was often hard to motivate ourselves, somehow when the deadlines hit we had 46 pages ready for the Taylor Publishing Company to print. We all complained about raising money (the car wash, the dance, and the ads) and the unorganization of everything, we cried over our 100 dollar color mistake and re-doing a page because the line wtisn’t on “68” but, the good times out-weighed the bad. As a staff we developed a closeness and had a hidden pride for our book. It seemed an amazing accomplishment to produce a 196 page annual when the editor couldn’t spell and the assistants couldn’t type. We somehow made it through it all. We gave it our best shot. PAGE 192: 1: Sport’s editor Ann Ocenasek used her lowers over John Ixisz. 2: Typing copy and captions kept Wendy Gregerson in room 128 until the wee hours of the night 3: We held a car wash last summer to raise some money to cover the cost of the book; Nancy Lundberg, Morgan Clawson.

It was a time to cast off last year’s apathy for this year’s spirit. At first there were the physical changes; the athletic department got a new track and weight room and the art department got a new dark room. There was a breaking of tradition during the homecoming festivities, and this year not only did ABUT make appearances at pepfests, but they were actually allowed to | erform. Money more than spirit motivated some. The band was known for their diligent work to raise money for their trip to Washington, D.C. They sold everything from pens to the Daisy Dillmun Hand. In January, the student government put on Snow Week. For once we actually had snow on the ground — so much snow that the Mr. MHS Pageant was cancelled. Another tradition was broken on January 24, school was cancelled — not because of snow — the lx iler blew up! In athletics: the football and hockey teams had good seasons, both climaxing in victories over Edina West. Unfortunately, the basketball team did not gain the winning momentum. Added to the girls basketball season was a halftime contest to boost the attendance. Girls swimming made another good showing at the state com|)etition. “Casting off” had its different meanings. For the class of ’80 it meant shedding off the sophomore image and starting to consider life after high school. To the juniors, it meant moving from the middle to the top of the ladder. To the graduating class of '79, it symltolized trading the security of being a senior for the insecurity of a freshman. But whether staying or departing, we must all “cast off”. PAGE 191: 1: Hei li Reid, I aurie Reid, and Pat Howe waved good-bye to their senior friends. 2: Michelle Salo played at one of the home basketball games PAGE 195:1: Heidi Simonson got a friendly hug from M. A. lsleih after she won snow queen. 2: A familiar sight to us all at MHS. 3: Tom Rosequist helped with the many home games. 194 Closing Closing 195 We could have entitled this ‘saving the best for last” and cover our mistake but a more accurate heading would be Taken for Granted.” This was the major problem facing the '78-’79 boy’s swim team. It seemed that some of Tonka’s best teams are often overlooked by fans, administration, and even the yearbook. For example, they didn’t receive warmups until halfway through the season and had to borrow from the boy’s track. But where the fans and administration failed them the team supported each other with their spirit: wearing hats and being generally obnoxious, vocal and sometimes over confident. Both Team Captains Steve Garmaker, Dave Donlin and Mike Miszkiewicz commented on the closeness of the team. We were so close-knit because we had to support ourselves.” The team placed second in state which bummed us out because all season we were expected to win state.” The event which was their downfall occurred in the prelims. They placed seventh in the medly relay. A first or second place in that event would have secured a first place over all for them. But second place (an accomplishment in itself) had another benefit, because they placed ahead of St. Cloud and won a 16 of Michelob. Maintaining their good record however required weight lifting 3 days a week and hours of swimming 6 days a week. They worked hard and supported each other and their second place title in state was a good indicator of their dedication. Credit the photo of Guyana to Frank Johnston and World Wide Photos.
