JAYGTTE EDITORS: CHERYL HOLTBERG BALKE TURNER ASSISTANT EDITORS: GINNY SHANAHAN JERRY MALLEY ARTIST AND PHOTOGRAPHER: STEVE MORSE PRESTO HIGH SCHOOL. PftfSToW MlMPJesoTA EDITORS NOTE: As the occasion presents itself, we as co-editors are proud to dedicate our annual to Mr. Froemming, our superintendent. The time that he has spent in influencing our lives can never be guaged in dollars and cents. This may be regarded as his most rewarding hour in surveying his past: he can see the progress and the accomplishments that Preston is providing today compared to that of yesterday. SUPERINTENDENT FROEMMING SURVEYS PAST Possibly more changes have taken place in the last fourteen years in the Preston schools than had taken place in the twenty-five years before 1951 and will take place in the next twenty-five. These changes conformed with the general changes of the time. One outstanding change of the district was the enlargement of nine square miles to a little over one hundred square miles. The addition of many rural districts added the need for transporting over 375 students at the cost of over $38, 000.00. The enrollment has also increase greatly from 453 students in 1951-52 to 766 students in 1963-64. This increase in enrollment necessitated an increase in the faculty from 13 to 21. Two new well equipped buildings with athletic fields were added to the present fa- cilities of the district at the cost of approximately $975, 000. The most important feature of the progress of the school is the addition of new sub- jects to the curriculum. New classes in subjects of mathematics, industrial arts, ag- riculture, health, Spanish, drivers training and vocal music were added because of the increase in students and faculty. Kindergarten classes are held year around and the librarian no longer teaches classes. Finally the extra-curricular activities have been enlarged to include wrestling as a major high school sport. I would say that of my forty-one years as a teacher and superintendent the last fourteen here at Preston have been the most pleasant and rewarding. My best wishes to my successor, the school board, and the students of this district. Most sincerely Harry B.

Naturally we evidenced many weaknesses we cannot say that this was the best class ever to be graduated from Preston High - such judgment is beyond our limits. But we have accepted our challenge and ex- erted a definite drive forward - each in his chosen realm. As freshmen and now seniors we represent a variety in poten- tial and in fulfillment. The evolution of specific talents - this was the course of our human history. We would be remem- bered then as strivers. CLASS OFFICERS JON ARNOLD Every inch is packed with dynamite.

The season was high- lighted by victories over Canton, Harmony, Wy- koff, and Spring Valley. They fought to 0-0 tie with the Chatfield Gophers. A win in this game would have meant a tie for the conference title with Lanesboro. Jim Shanahan led the team both offensively and defensively. He scored the most points, gained the most yards, and made the most tackles.

Homecoming festivities began October 8, when King Jim Shanahan crowned Rita Rustad Queen. Flower girl was Laurie Jas- zewski, daughter of our coach, and crown bearer was Daniel Christianson. Following the coronation was a pep fest and bon fire. The juniors and eighth graders had the winning floats with such slogans as Gopher Goulash and Grill the Gophers . The game with Chatfield, ending in a 0-0 tie, was the highlight of the evening. The homecoming festivities drew to an end with the music of the Mustangs at our homecoming dance. The float made by the Eighth grade copped first place in the Junior High Division The Junior's float won first place in the Senior High Division. 41 CHEERLEADERS ENCOURAGE SCHOOL SPIRIT Faythe Vander Woude, Jeanne Walsh, Terrie Rustad, Ginny Shanahan, Cindy Gunderson.

In addition to a fall concert in December, midwinter concert in February, spring concert in April, dis- trict small groups contest in Spring Grove in March, and large group contests in Chatfield in April, band and chorus music carnival, it had an exchange con- cert with Spring Grove. The band has been playing a widely assorted selection of music this year. It has varied from classical music to the popular modern music which has become the trend of selection of many colleges and high schools.

They were the Christmas Concert, Midwinter Con- cert, Spring Concert, and an exchange concert with the Spring Grove music depart- ment. We also participated in the ensemble contest at Spring Grove and the large group contest at Chatfield. A boys' barber shop quartet, triple trio, and several soloists sang at school and public events throughout the year. With our aim being to strive for better performances musically, the choir ended the year successfully. 50 DIRECTOR ACCOMPANISTS Miss Kitchell • Carston Slostad, Patty Staupe ROW 1: P. Matson, R.

These phrases were very well used in addition to many other frantic cries by annual staff members. Hurrying at the close of our deadline dates was not all we did as an annual staff. There are duties galore for which I'm sure the members of the staff will vouch. Other than collecting ads from Rochester, Preston, Fountain, and Greenleafton, selling yearbooks to the junior and senior high school students; putting on dances to earn money; and preparing the book itself, there was not too much to do on the annual staff. Our staff has been increased from six to sixteen members. This increase has been an improve- ment in the efficiency and productivity of the annual as a whole. Our annual this year has been enlarged from sixty to sixty-four pages which we hope will increase your reading enjoyment. On these four pages we have included such added attractions as the feature on Mr. Froemming, the Home Economics style show, and more wrestling. We as co-editors wish to thank our advisor, Mrs. Husom, the school Photographer and Artist: administration, and our fellow staff members for a year's work well done S. Morse. with due cooperation.

The Christmas season came early this year at Preston High School. The occasion was a style show with the theme Gift Wrapped Fashions. In appreciation of Miss Greeley's guidance and help the students of the home economics classes presented her a corsage. Narrators of the program were Corrine Grover and Dorothy VanderWoude, who are senior home economics students. The style show was very suc- cessful and greatly enjoyed by the parents and guests invited by the students. A delicious lunch was prepared and served by the freshmen girls. Seniors (left bottom) and Juniors (right bottom) modeled their wool dress and suit fashions. I wish those kids would write Now the way I look at it. English. BACK to the Democrats.

The Council meets throughout the year to handle any problem which is within the scope of the Council's jurisdiction. Among the problems which have received atten- tion are: lunchline problems, parking lot arrangements, and Pfep Fest schedules. SEATED: J. Lindorff, J. Anderson, B. Mangan, G. Christopherson.

JET AGE JAYS PROMOTE INTEREST IN SCIENCE SCIENCE?? The Preston Science Club (The Jet Age Jays) meets regularly on the second Thursday evening of each month and also after school the last Friday of the month. The Science Club is organized to inspire and assist those students that have scientific interests. It is a proving ground for the dis- covery and cultivation of skills and talents based on science. It is a place to prepare for careers and hobbies in science. Every individual member is encouraged to carry one or more projects. Once a member has experienced the satisfaction of working out experiments and projects for himself he seldom has time enough to do all he would like to try. SITTING: R. Rustad, M. Fishbaugher, C.

The lettermen's club is an organization designed to encourage boys to participate in athletics of some type. The membership is open to all boys out for some sport for at least 4 years in high school. A boy must join the club no later than his sophomore year. Freshmen may join if they so desire. The purpose of the club is to promote athletics through participation and various other activities. One of the activities the club is involved in is the purchase of film to be used for developing better techniques of play and helping in the instruction of each individual. The club also tries to help out each sport in some way they feel is worth while, such as the purchase of spe- cial equipment and the like. Mr. Denny, Adviser. KNEELING: D. Arnold, B.Turner, S.
