No idleness, no lazi- ness, no procrastination,- never put off til tomorrow what you can do to- day. —Chesterfield In school, as in life, the hands of time are ever moving at a constant pace. They know no favorites; they turn at the same speed for all people and for all occasions. There is no more time to enjoy the golden moment of a football victory over an arch school rival than there is any less time before the teacher announces dismissal from a difficult sem- ester exam. The presence of one seemingly impor- tant event soon fades away into the dim past, and our thoughts turn to what the future holds in store for us. Vet Ihe present seems so important in the busy world within these school walls. It is a busy, bustling world of activities that hinge so much on time. Each of us is daily reminded that our school life is geared to the movements of the clocks that look down at us in every room. Those who know the true value of time grasp the many op- portunities offered by Redwood High. They not only savor the enthusiasm and excitement of the fleeting now, but use those moments to prepare for the all-important future.

Limburg, who has faithfully served our school and community for 28 years, the Senior Class dedi- cates the 1956 Cardinal. As music director Lindy has helped Redwood High School gain prominence in musical circles. Through his leadership our band has repeatedly been one of the top ten bands in the state. Products of his thorough training in musical fundamentals have distin- guished themselves in college and higher levels. Where- ever musical activities are going on, Lindy is always there to lend his enthusiasm, leadership and skill. His subtle, dry sens of humor is characteristic of his informal relationship wit the students. Mr. Limburg is truly de- serving of recog :on for service in behalf of music and education. 4 Administrators turn A precision watch needs a main- spring to regulate its many minute parts This is the role played by Reede Gray, the Superintendent of School, and the Board of Education, composed of Wm. Schottenbauer, A. G. Seifert, M. A. Ehlers, D. P. Tiffany, former members, and Mrs. Harold Niemann and John Hoepner, both new members. During the past school year they have guided the school successfully through problems occasioned by their highest enrollment in the history of the school. Under their leadership our school has maintained consistently high scholastic standards. Both students and community appreciate greatly the services that these public servants have rendered to the education of tomorrow's citizens. Reede Gray, Carleton, B.A.; University of Minnesota, M.

It is they whp are responsible for the fine programs offered during the year, for a good athletic schedule, and for a com- plete and well-planned series of studeni dances, student government day, and many other student activities. Those who have worked with these men in planning these events have come to realize that they are genuinely interested in studeni problems and are always responsive to the wishes of the students.

For the seniors time moved very swiftly. It seemed like only yesterday that we first entered grade school and then got our first glimpse of high school life upon entering seventh grade. From seventh grade on the days flew by as we gained not only knowledge from books, but knowledge of everyday living by learning to cooperate and get along with our classmates in the classroom and various activities. As our senior year began we could hardly believe we were on our last lap and looked for- ward to if with eagerness along with sadness. First of all, the long awaited day arrived when we received our class rings. Then we moved on into the thrilling activities of Homecoming and watched our senior sportsmen make their final appearances in football. Our class sponsored several concessions and dances throughout the year to add to our financial status, then we swung along into basketball season. The final games held a touch of sadness for us as it marked the near end of high school sports we'd be see- ing. In the spring rehearsals for class play began with excitement and confusion reigning until the last curtain fell with huge applause for our efforts. We then realized the fun we'd had in putting our play together and knew it was some- thing we'd never forget. Then our thoughts turned to graduation and many of us were eager, but a little frightened, too, at what lay beyond. We busied ourselves selecting our announcements and preparing for the big day. So we come to the end of our school days, which will be remembered and cherished forever by the class of 1956. Girl's And Boy's State Each year one girl and one boy are selected from the Junior Class to attend Girl's and Boy's State which is held on the Uni- versity of Minnesota campus in June. They must be leaders in their class and must also have a high scholastic average. The American Legion Auxiliary and the American Legion sponsor these projects in order to better acquaint these students with their local, county, and federal government by actually living it for one week. They hold offices and take part in sessions in the State Capitol. 18 Sandra Olson and James Kuelbs 1st row: Emily Jordon, Glenna Bengtson, Twiyla Egle, Avis Huhnerkoch, Lucille Fidler, Loretta Hansen, De- loris Altmann, Joyce Gronholz, Ramona Becker, Sondra Fletcher, Kathleen Corbett, Karen Matlock. 2nd row: Norma Jensen, Forest Leith, William Davis, Alois Hammerschmidt, Janet Kohler, Karen Davis, Joyce Jensen, Tedda Matson, Gordon Green, James Mann, Rosalie Becker, Toni Kickul. 3rd row: Myrna Drogosch, Scott Cairns, Carleton Bjerke, Darrel Lindstrom, Burlyn Barnes, Myron Hilbert, Robert Bell, Audrey Bliss, Jane Hewett, Marian Anderson, JoAnn Lehmkuhl, Dorothy Hopman. 4th row: Dennis Knigge, Paul Cox, Melvin Liebl, J ? Dwyer, Gordon Gray, Robert Drogosch, Tyrone Berg, David Garvin, Peter Limburg, Jay Hornbacher, Norman Eilers, Tom Helgeson. Through responsibility, co-operation, and willingness to work, we juniors feel ready to fill the positions at the top—that of being seniors. Our junior year has contained a whirl of activities. In the fall we sponsored a very successful homecoming dance and presented the class play. During the winter we took on the project of shovel- ing snow. We also sponsored various other money raising projects, always working for our one goal-----------a class trip next year. By ambition, leadership, and eagerness our goal will be a realily next year.

This has been one of the most important years for the one hundred Sophomore class members of R. F. H. S. It was this year that brought us Ihe distinction of being in the senior high school and of being considered upperclassmen. This year we have had a greater choice in electing our subjects. At last we are preparing for the fields of endeavor we will work in after we have been graduated. Our privileges have multiplied this year and our res- ponsibilities have increased proportionately. We can now attend the high school dances, participate actively in more school organi- zations, and for all assemblies we sit in our own first floor section.

The Freshmen, who are on the threshold of senior high, are proving their ability to cope with the problems and responsi- bilities they will soon have to carry. They had charge of the Homecoming bonfire and have started sponsoring after game dances. Their able handling of the Freshman Day program is also another step forward. These eager prospects for senior high have good partici- pation in band, chorus, and all of the sports. Although the time is fleeting they are keeping stride with the fast changing ideas and new surroundings. 1st row: Gary Hoover, James Hengel, Bitt Johnson, Faith Arndt, Donna Kuglin, Kathryn Berber Sandra Balko, Lorraine Heiling, Madelyn Jensen, Virginia Kletscher, Lois Johnson.

Eighth Grade CLASS OFFICERS 8th—Left to right: David Otto, secretary: Lois Zaske, vice president; Jean Nelson, treasurer, Barbara Cairns, president. We. of the eighth grade, think we have a class to be proud of! In only our second year of junior high already we have readily adjusted ourselves to the routine and accomplished many things. To start our year out with a bang, the float contributed by our class to the Homecoming parade took second place which gave us a lift ® prestige. Our class also had a large representation in the sports de- partment. Many of our boys played B squad footooil this yea. and then went out for basketball and wrestlino. As a whole, the eighth grade has taken an increasing part in our school's extracurricular activities. lst row--left to right: Harvey Benson, Larry Carruth, Dennis Hand, Phillip Cheney, Larry Gilb, Daryl Hilbert, Barbara Beihoffer, Thomas Lindstrom, John Kretsch, Mary Ann Goblish, Nyleen Fennem Janice K1 t- scher, Barbara Cairns, Jerome Boushek, Richard Hansen. 2nd row: Jeffrey Johnson, Robert Hopman, Jean Ahrens, Gerry Canaday, Judith Jensen, Ann King, Renee Berberick, Mary Bronson, Marius Larsen, Thomas Atkins, Judy Burchett, Clifford Hammerschmidt, Elaine Bliss, Robert Knapp. 3rd row: William Geffrey, Myron Krueger, James Beasley, James Kaufenberg, Jane Christopherson, Bev- erly Berg, JoAnn Hengel, Mary Goblish, Pat Jaros, Darlene Dietz.

A new routine and a new name, Junior High. These students bustled around the first week getting lost, but by ihe end of the first six weeks they were well acquainted with every corner of the school It was a new experience for everyone being able to at- tend the sports events, being invited to school dances, and help- ing with a Junior High party for the seventh and eighth grades, which the seventh grade represented well. With enthusiasm and school spirit these students look forward for the year 1961 to come. 1st row—left to right: Thomas Balko, Calvin Jensen, Elmer Dahms, William Gladitsch, Lynn Hess� Gerald Bailey, Dennis Blegen, Nyla Boys, Pauline Hewett, Janice Hasse, John Johnson, James Goblish, Charles Dunlevy. 2nd row: Joan Gladitsch.

Selecting Cheaper By the Dozen as the play to be given by the juniors was a job Mr. Hanna undertook a few weeks after school began. The class of '57 is proud to be his first play cast. Casting a play with sixteen characters is no small task. There were approximately fifteen boys and sixty-five girls who tried out. Although only a small number could be in the play itself, the successful production could never have reached its fame without the cooperation of every member of the committees. Even those who weren't assigned a particular job sold tickets and helped when called upon. Grind, work, grind, were the thoughts, words, and actions of the characters for the next six weeks. Re- hearsals all had a definite purpose. After one or two readings and two business rehearsals the act was mem- orized. Stage managers, understudies, and bit players viewed each practice. There were shouts of louder! react, work on that side play! heard for weeks. The most cooperative member of the crew was Penny, the family dog, belonging to Mary Winter. Even though she came on assembly call when we didn't want her, she be- came a real pro. Days were being crossed off the calendar at a surprising rate of speed. Nine practices, eight seven, six, five, .... The finishing touches were being put on. The first dress rehearsal was the frosting on the cake. Then tragedy struck! One of our main characters, Del Hopp, came down with the mumps. Doctors tried ev- ery miracle drug, but nothing would cure him by matinee time. Everyone was sick at heart and Mr. Hanna was at his wits ends. To the rescue came Gary Otto, a quick understudy who learned his lines in three days. He cer- tainly saved the day for the juniors. Turning his job as sound effects man over to Glenna Bengtson, Gary filled in admirably in the second lead role. Here's hoping this event didn't give Mr. Hanna too many ulcers. Cheaper by the Dozen will long be remembered as the rollicking story of a big happy family. 30 Seated—left to right: Carolyn Simondet, Jean Hillger, Pamela Poynter, Advis- or, Mr. Ramseth, Sandra Olson, Mari Jo Zitzmann, Rose Rau, Jack Knudson.

Student Council: Our Governing Body The Student Council is the student representative governing body of Ihe school. Its purpose is to promote a healthy inter-school spirit and to recognize and fulfill the ideas and desires of the student body. It is composed of five seniors, four juniors and three sophomores, who are elected by their respective class. Rose Rau, foreign exchange student, was made an honorary member of the council this year. The council carries on many projects throughout the year ably guided by Mr. Ramseth, the advisor. It maintains a pop corn machine. Two members of the council, Sandy Olson and Mari Jo Zitzmann, are respon sible for popping corn for all concessions. It sponsors a Father's Night for the fathers of the varsity squad foot ball players and a Mother's Night for the mothers of the A Squad basketball players. Its main project is Homecom- ing. The council elects two of its members to be co-chair- men who are in charge of all Homecoming activities. It also sponsors a Student Government Day and carries on a March of Dimes drive. The council has three standing committees-. Lost and found, Social, and Program. In October, Sandy Olson, Pamela Poynter, Jack Knudson, Ronnie Boys, and Rose Rau attended the South- west District Student Council Convention at Tracy. The officers of the council this year are: President— Sandy Olson Vice-President— Pam Poynter Secretary-Treasurer— Mari Jo Zitzmann 31 Three student council projects in op- eration: Lost and Found (top) Concession stand (middle) Popcorn machine (bottom).

Annual Staffers Record Year's Highlights Burning the midnight oil in order to meet four successive deadlines, the Cardinal staff real- ized early in the year that the job of publishing e yearbook requires patience, imagination, and, above all, lots of hard work. Beginning in the fall with coverage of football and the Homecoming festivities, and concluding in the early spring with the basketball tournaments, track, and declam- ation, nineteen harried staffers gradually met these requirements. They learned that working on a publication such as this brings them into contact with all phases of school life and that it means dealing with many different people, youths as well as adults, including advisors of clubs, the photographers, yearbook company representa- tives and the printers at the Redwood Gazette. This year the Cardinal staff, under the lead- ership of its new advisor, Mr. Bosanko, and ed- itor Norita Register, introduced several changes to make this year's Cardinal more interesting and complete. For neatness and unity the Senior sum- maries are placed in the back. Photography is us- ed for the division pages in order to have more students pictured in the book. The staff has also written descriptions of the activities of all groups and clubs that are represented. More pages are given for school activities, such as dances, ath- letics, and club events. A special division for the music department recognizes the importance of music activities in our high school. The staff hopes that, by portraying the high- lights of the past year, this Cardinal will serve you in the future by bringing past memories into the focus of the present.

The Future Homemakers of America is the national organization of pupils studying homemaking in junior and sen- ior high schools of the United States and Territories. As an integral part of home economics in the schools of America it offers opportunity for the further deve- lopment of pupil initiative in planning and carrying out activities related to homemaking. One of the projects of the Redwood Falls Future Homemakers of America was to start an FHA chapter at Glencoe, Minnesota. It was one of their biggest projects. They also have different degrees which they work for. They are ihe Jun- ior Homemaker Degree, The Chapter Homemaker Degree, and The State Homemaker Degree. Standing left to right—Sonja Galstad.

Captain Irene distributes programs These service clubs contribute much to the running of a class and also to the smooth org- anization of extra curricular activities at which the public is invited. The projectionists give their free hours to show movies for grade, junior high, and senior high school classes. The movies are shown in both the Little Theatre and on the stage of the Lincoln gym. Librarians devote their study halls and also noon hours and time after school to work in the Library issuing books and helping Mrs. Sinner, the school librarian. The senior high study hall was partitioned off this year to make the library a more private and easier place to read. Under the advice of Miss Heery the Ushers club works hard at the sport events and musical functions. These girls meet often and try to deve- lop more efficient methods of seating large bo- dies of people. The student body offers hearty congratula- tions to these three worthy clubs. 37 Student librarians: Deloris, Donna, Lu- cille and Audrey, check in books at the main desk. Students At the Mike and On the Air Karen takes requests, as others assist. And now, by special request KLGR Mike Club, a newly organized radio club, advised by Mr. Fox, spent its first year produc- ing and giving radio shows for the local station, KLGR. The club was divided into four commit tees which wrote and recorded its own section If the event couldn't be brought to the statior live, it was tape recorded and used when need ed. The announcers at the station showed each member signals used, ways of using the micro phone and how to develop the best speaking voice. This club developed a new interest anc talent in many students of Redwood High.

Pep Club and Cheerleaders Rouse School Spirit !f you go into the auditorium on a Friday noon you'll usually find the cheerleaders up on the stage cheering in front of a group of about 75 students, both girls and boys. This is a pep club meeting. Probably the cheerleaders are leading the members in a rousing new cheer so they can help lead the student body at the Pep fest later in the afternoon. The Pep Club provides a needed outlet for those students who are more enthusiastic and wish to give some extra spirit to school activities and especially to our athletic learns.

At Home And Abroad The largest musical organization this year was our eighty piece concert band. Under the very able direction of Mr. Lim- burg, the band has been rated among the ten best in the state for the last five years. The band was invited to attend the State Fair again this year and their concert was broadcast. It was also asked to play at the first Minnesota State football game but due to circumstances beyond their control were unable to attend. Mr. Limburg and his band traveled to Will- mar in the fall to hear the Navy band on tour. It was an inspiration to every band member to work diligently as they started to prepare their repe- toire for the spring concerts. They gave two ex- change concerts and also attended the annual music festival held at New Ulm this year. Our band is one organization of which we are very proud.

Pep And Dance Bands Keep The Beat For Sport Ready with music for all school dances is the high school dance band, which has around fifteen members. In the fall of the year the dance band played at Franklin and Bird Island for their home- coming dances. Around prom time in the spring of the year the band always plays in nearby towns. The money which is earned throughout the year is used for buying music and other equipment. The remaining money is divided among the members. Brassy strains of We Represent sound as the students file info the auditorium for a rousing pep fest. Always seated in the pit of the auditorium is the pep band going full blast with it's forty members at all pep fests, basketball games, and wrestling matches.

Under Mr. Grender's able direction, the gradual process of training young voices to concert-per- formance pitch goes on. Long hours of prepar- ation in the fall lead to the chorus' debut in the Christmas Concert, and later another opportun- ity to sing in the Spring Concert.

Eight selected voices from the mixed chorus make up ihe Boys Octet. The students interested in instrumental music join the second band. Sixty boys and girls practice twice a week under the baton of Mr. Limburg. This band display- ed its talents in the homecoming parade, at B-squad basketball games, and at the yearly spring concert.

After changing from the single wing offense to the split T, which was brought to Redwood Falls by Coach Dale Schell, Redwood started the 1955 football season off with a home victory over Olivia. After Olivia, the Cardinals won a hard fought 13-0 battle at Tracy. Plagued by the injury of co-captain Jim Kuelbs, the Cardinals outgained but didn't outscore Glencoe. Home- coming brought another defeat to the Cardinals. Still plagued with injuries, the big, fast moving Hutchinson team was too much for the Card- inals. With the loss of the other co-captain, Gil- bert Kohlhof, an injury ridden Cardinal team bat- tled a weakened New Ulm squad to a 0 to 0 tie. Going to Granite, the Cardinals were able to pick up their third victory of the season. Losing to a hard running Marshall squad on Dad's Night here, the Cardinals record now stood at .500. Paced by the hard running of all-district player Darrel Lindstrom, the Cardinals were able to de- feat a hard fighting Springfield squad. With four injured starters on the bench, the Cardinals lost to Jackson, ninth rated in the state, by a close 28-20 margin. 51 John Lindeman Myrl Barnes Jesse Nolting B Squad First row—left to right—Jay Kessler, Marvin Garnhardt, Keith Parish, Mr. Hollister, Mr. Northey, Willard Luc- as, Jim Gebnne, Dean Gilland, Harold Melges.

Cagers Provide Many Minutes of Thrills Myrl Barnes for Redwood Fans The 1955-56 Cardinal basketball team ap- peared headed for a below .500 season but there were encouraging prospects for the future. At mid-season, only four seniors were on the squad, perhaps foretelling better luck next year when almost all regulars will return. The team lost 11 of its first 14 games but an upset victory over Morton indicated the Card- inals might be tough to handle at tournament time. Football coach Dale Scholl took over basket- ball duties when Bob Greenslit, hired during the summer, was stricken with polio. Coach Green- slit, formerly at Renville, is on a year's leave of absence.
