Russia’s pompous Premier Khrushchev played havoc with a United Nations assembly in New York and was joined by Cuba’s tatterdemalion, Fidel Castro, in a dissonant duet that grated the ears of all countries seeking peaceful coexistence. Africa’s Congo spliced in a contrapuntal movement of violence as rights and mights met in an ethical tangle. Even the weather blasted off-key in a series of crescendoes landing on the Eastern seaboard. World peace did not appear to be in the score. Up above things were getting complex too! The stars blinked twice as Russia’s dog-piloted space ship barked by and as America’s balloon-satelloon whizzed visibly around the cosmos causing many a stiff neck in earth folk craning for a look-see. Down under, a fantastic submarine, the Polaris, disgorged deadly missiles from the briny deep, and the question arose . . . what in the world was left? Wide World Photos Khrushchev and Castro at U.N.

Minneapolis Star Photos This was a year of discoveries, problems, and progress. It was also the year of the presidential election and the campaigners adopted modern methods of barnstorming. The flick of a switch and the twist of a dial brought the chicken-salad circuit into every living room via the Nixon-Kennedy television debates. Americans watched and listened to the closest two-man race since 1884 and earnestly prayed that the man who replaced Dwight D. Eisenhower would be the right man to let freedom continue to ring—in the sweet land of liberty, the United States of America. 8 Ike dedicates Red Wing bridge. Voters pack RHS polls.

E. J. Cooper COOPER SERVES THREE DECADES The dynamic overseer of one of Minnesota’s largest and fastest-growing suburban areas has served District 281 for thirty-one years. His administration has developed it from the one-building stage to the present seventeen plant operation providing educational opportunities for over 15,000 students. During the fall of 1960 Mr. Cooper spearheaded a bond issue drive for still another elementary and junior high school, as well as the district’s first swimming pool and new athletic field for the Senior High. The best in resources and facilities arc insured by this devoted leader. 12 School Board Members, FRONT ROW: Dr. F. C. Hosterman, R. Elster, L. Eide, and Director of Business Affairs. A Newell.

VVe feel that we have met the challenge by giving the best in school buildings, qualified teachers, and the many special sendees needed to make it a top school. We will continue to improve and to keep that same quality of education in the future.” Senior High School Principals: 14 SOUND POLICIES Future Student Needs This remark by Mr. Mielke, now in his thirty-second year as principal at Robbinsdale, characterized his devotion and understanding to the problems involved in providing education to the ever increasing number of suburban students. The population of RHS had mushroomed from 900 in 1929 to the present enrollment of 2175. Mr. Ulrich and Mr. Hill provided strong assistance to insure sound administrative policies at Robbinsdale Senior High School. CLV JaxcxQ- XV,. kjvTe KV Mr. Ulrich, Mr. Hill, and Mr. Mielke.

Assisting 2175 students to achieve their potential as individuals was the service performed by the Guidance Staff. Through programming, testing, and evaluating, the need for positive direction in scholastic efforts was emphasized by the counsellors. Students’ interests and abilities were recognized and progress noted on cumulative records for future reference. Senior conferences and the annual College Information Night aided in determining higher education plans and vocational choices for all Robin students. Mrs. Springer Seniors Get Special Help Scholarship grants, offered by numerous colleges and universities, were expertly handled by Miss Mickelson, left. Consulting services in reading, special education, and psychology augmented the readily available ones of the Guidance Office.

Having opened fascinating avenues of procedure in experimental schools, the potential of such machines had also intrigued the personnel at Rob-binsdale. Faculty committees re-evaluated time-worn methodologies and researched the space-age innovations to determine their ramifications and adaptable-ncss to locally extant programs. The electronics laboratory constructed in 1960 in Room 308 and pioneered by foreign language instructors was now scrutinized by other subject teachers. FEATURES MACHINE AIDS in Experimental Schools Across the Country. The possibilities seemed immense. Exciting new concepts flickered in the minds of creative educators as television, tape recorded lessons, master and team teaching all of these appeared to precipitate a renaissance in the learning processes now existing to prepare citizens for the future world. Time proven methods notwithstanding, educational prognosticators were making their mark. Spurred by last year’s success with IBM reporting, local administrators were foreseeing radical developments in school operations. The classroom of tomorrow was nearing, and Rob-binsdale was going to have it.

MpU. Star Photo. 100 The 1961 Graduates found themselves on the brink of a New Frontier” — a term adopted by President Kennedy and his White House Administration. Paralleling the history hooks'account of the hope and promise of The Opening of the West,” another frontier — outer space — now beckoned for discovery, claim, and development. The galaxy of opportunity ahead belonged to the youths of today. The ground-work had been laid solidly AT THE HOME OF THE ROBINS. This story of THE LEGACY OF AMERICAN YOUTH has no end. Time changes the world, and youth is gone — but the legacy is theirs forever. 101 Underclasses For the child, fascinated by prints and maps, The universe and his hunger are of a size. How big the world is under the bright lamps! But how small the world when seen by memory's eyes! 103 BAUDELAIRE JUNIOR CLASS RANKS IN SIZE Six hundred and ninety students up enrollment The largest class of Juniors to matriculate in the school’s history accepted the patrimonial dividends of RHS by energetically participating in the academic and extra curricular activities. Loyal and hard-working students made the transition from mere underclassmen of the previous year to top-notch leaders, scholars, and responsible citizens. Bejcweled in early Fall with the arrival of sparkling class rings, the Juniors attacked, with gusto, new arenas of interest. The play “Pygmalion” was sponsored to assist in paying class dues and the effective ticket sales campaign so successfully directed that the house was filled for the run of the play. The year was capped socially by the JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM. HOMEROOM 107 FRONT ROW: T. Abe, J. Bailey. B. Anderson, B. Beadle, B. Barrett, L. Bcntilla. SECOND ROW: B. Bauer, B. Bcllenap, J.

Olsen is reeipieni of Outstanding Senior Girl Award by DAR chapter of Robbinsdale. Seniors receive recognition Fourteen seniors at Robbinsdale received formal letters of commendation from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation for outstanding performances on the Merit Scholarship Qualifying test. Less than two percent of all high school seniors taking this test receive this marked distinction. Although twelve of these seniors did not achieve the status of semi-finalists, they were singled out for recognition by the Merit board for their superior ability. Two senior boys, however, Allen Lindquist and Gary Maltzen, did reach the finals on the results of further tests and upon recommendation from their school. Merit Scholarships were four year awards and carried a stipend that ranged from $100 to $1500 per year. Each award was determined on the basis of need. Family resources, summer earnings, and college costs were taken into consideration. MERIT TEST MARKS ACHIEVEMENT S. Graflfunder, K. Weihe, C. Ducat, and L. Gustafson receive letters of commendation on National Merit Test showing. 128 Lindquist and Maltzen reach Merit finals. Carol Gray receives Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow Award in 1961. A.

Robbinsdale’s Debate team entered state competition for the first time in the school's history. Coached by Mr. Norton, the squad of four members challenged teams from central and west central Minnesota as well as Lake Conference schools during the season. The team defeated Kcrkovcn, North, St. Cloud, and Willmar which enabled them to be one of four area schools represented in the state finals at the University on Feb. 18. The 1961 debate topic related to the powers invested with the United Nations. A Junior Great Books Club was organized to stimulate critical and careful reading. First year selections dealt with man’s relation to the state and followed the National club’s reading list for first year members. Club advisors were Mr. Norton and Mr. Hill.

This democratic procedure allowed every student the opportunity to express views on policies directly affecting the student body by reporting them to the member, who in turn discussed them with the entire council at regular monthly meetings. The representatives aimed for strong participation in school activities, and improvement throughout the school by greater responsibility placed on the students in conducting their activities.

Robbinsdalc’s branch of the Future Teachers of America broadened its program during 1961 to provide the opportunity for practical study of the teaching profession. Club members assisted teachers with correcting papers and putting-up bulletin board displays and attended the annual student workshop at St. Cloud State College. Merit points were earned for these services and pins awarded to those receiving a total of fifty. Additional knowledge was gained through interviews with instructors and reports on books dealing with outstanding teachers and new methods of teaching.

In the interpretive selections were serious, humorous, and externporaneous. In public speaking, the divisions were: original or non original oratory and extemporaneous. Story telling, a new form in declamation, replaced pantomime. Students participating practiced weekly with faculty coaches: Mr. Drolson. Misses Larson, Morrow. Peterson, Kromer. and Mrs. Worlc.

PERKY DANCERS SWING ROBINS Now in its third year as a recognized organization, THE ROBINAIRES added glamour along with precision dancing to numerous school functions including: half-time programs during the football and basketball season, special auditorium presentations at Homecoming and Snow Week, and school dance entertainment. Sharon Phillips, senior, was choreog- rapher for the group consisting of twenty-four dancers, five alternates, and two managers. The girls designed and paid for the costumes worn in their routines, practiced weekly, before and after school hours, wherever space was available, and perfonned without renumeration. Setting high standards for beauty and character, the 1961 Robinaires kept RHS swinging. 140 Girls with pompoms enhance Homecoming parade. Minneapolis Star Photo.

Not until the thrilling coronation ceremony on October 18 did any of the Robbinsdale student body know for certain who the 1960 Queen would be. The vote tally was a well-kept secret and when Jo Ann Thorson, 1959 Queen, reached for the hand of Sue Blank the jam-packed auditorium audience exploded with applause for the new, lovely ruler of Robin Royalty. Miss Thorson broke precedent at the school by assisting the football co-captains, Card Suplick and Jack Ellison, right, in the elaborate and formal ceremony.

'KING AND I’ BRIGHTENS STAGE A lavish production of Rodgers and Hammcrstcin’s “The King and I” illumined the school stage on March 10,11,16,17, and 18. The tender musical dramatization of an English widow brought to Siam in the 1860’s to tutor the wives and children of a proud monarch was the result of three months dedicated labor by two hundred Robbinsdale students. The story of conflicting ideas, a battle of the sexes, and the collision of races was effected in glittering performances. The combined efforts of the Fine Arts Departments were staged by Dale Swanson and John Adams. Technical direction was by Roger Robinson with choreography by Jeanne Herrick. Nancy Richter was student director. King, S. Sizer, introduce Anna to Lady Thiang, S. Glazcr, and Tuptim, J. Felix. Property girls prepare dancers for presentation to the King of Siam.

Robbinsdale’s literary magazine, FOCUS, was in its third year of publication in 1961. Originated to give students an opportunity to exhibit their creative writing talents to the student body and the public, the magazine contained short stories, essays, and poems. All English and Journalism students were encouraged to submit articles for consideration by the staff lead by Diane Johnson and Kathy Burke. The thirty-two page collection was sold during the month of April at a cost of fifty cents. Mrs. Lindskog, journalism teacher, aided the twelve member, all-girl staff in choosing material suitable for publication and of interest to students. Designed to stimulate writing interests by seeing the efforts in print, FOCUS gave opportunity to the thoughtfully-inventive and talented, the expressive, and the humorists at Robbinsdale. K.

DER DEUTSCH VEREIN SPANS ORB Students of German lent efforts to not only learn language structure, but also to understand the country, the people, and its history. Celebrating German Week, a tradition for this club, reflected the genuine interest of the members to accomplish this endeavor. The fall initiation, the building of a foyer display for Homecoming, opposite page, a skating party, caroling in the halls, and the annual Christmas Breakfast at the Curtis Hotel on December 24, were activities in which Der Deutsch Verein students participated wholeheartedly. 100 Enterprise begins with cardboard scraps.

The spirited fall initiation found first year students bowing to the practiced perfection of second tenners, as the latter put the neophytes through a fun-filled “grueling” program of indoctrination. Club members blended talents to construct a float for the Homecoming parade and took second prize. The Christmas party followed French tradition as students lined their shoes against walls, to be filled with gifts from Pere Noel. Cakes served contained surprises and the one with almonds titled the eater to reign as king or queen of the evening. French Club is directed by Miss Anderson.

STUDENTS Los Espanolcs Alegres joined with the other language clubs at Robbinsdale in sjx nsoring a program to bring foreign exchange students to spend a year as a local student. To assist the American Field Service in this endeavor, the club participated in fund raising activities such as: the dance at the Prom Ballroom on November 10, the checkroom facilities in the high school building, charging ten cents a garment, and Penny Wednesdays during the year when odd change was collected in homerooms. Club members particularly enjoyed the character sketches employed by the Spanish teachers to facilitate the learning of conversational vernacular along with the “rote” method in the classroom. Advisors for the active espanolcs were Mrs. Wilbright, graduate of the University of Puerto Rico, and Mr. Daly. Mrs. Wilbright’s Spanish background offers first-hand knowledge of language. 184 Spanish Club officers, B. Wold, S. McCullagh, L. Peterson. M. Lazarus, and J.

Two goals set by Robbinsdale’s chapters of Y-Teens were: to promote friendly relations among the high school girls and to gain a philosophy of religious understanding. The Christian emphasis was stressed through the bi-weekly worship services held jointly with the I li-Y at the Church of the Open Door. One of the most satisfying accomplishments for members of the organization was the adoption of an orphaned child. All of the individual eighteen chapters performed charitable sendees during the school year. Food was collected for indigent families. and visitations were made by the girls to children’s homes at the Holiday seasons. Socially the chapters sponsored a Christmas Dance, a Fathers and Daughters Square Dance, the Cotton Ball, and a Mothers and Daughters Tea. Miss Hoving, adviser, M. Walden, and J.

Operating as a companion club to Y-Tcens, the boys attended the same bi-weekly worship services at the Church of the Open Door. A College Conference was held at Camp Ihdu-hapi on February 18 whereby members interested in furthering their education after high school were able to gain information on colleges, universities, and vocational institutions. A Sno Day at the camp provided them with outdoor exercise in the way of competitive winter sports.

With only three lettermen returning from last year’s championship squad, 1960 was a building year for the Robin Cross Country Team. Captain Bruce Hopko sparked his fleet-foots, composed mostly of sophomores, to a third place ranking in the conference with a five-win two-defeat record. This marked the first year that a regular schedule had been set-up for the thinclads. Running all local meets at Lake Nokomis, the young team reached its seasonal peak in the triangular meet held on October 4 when it topped Hopkins 21 to 36 and scored a slam against Mound 15 to 42. Hospitalized Coach Zimmerman was replaced by veteran track mentor Marv Wrucke who directed the runners to their final standing, sixth in the Regional Meet on October 17. Conference neighbor, Edina, took the regional title with Park second. 216 1960 CROSS COUNTRY SCHEDULE We They Sept. 19 St. L.ouis Park 39 19 Sept. 22 Bloomington 23 37 Minnetonka 22 2 35 2 Sept. 26 Richfield 24 32 Edina 37 19 Oct. 1 Swain Invitational (at Duluth) Tenth Oct. 4 Hopkins 21 36 Mound 15 42 Oct. 12 District Third Oct. 18 Regional Sixth Conference meets arc held at Nokoinis.

Coach Zimmerman started the training of his inexperienced prospects two weeks prior to the opening of the school year in September. The indefatigable spirit of a handful of candidates led to the remarkable showing in tri-meets during the season. Only two graduate losses, B. Hopko and T.

ROBINS WIN LAKE CHAMPIONSHIP Best Team Since 1950 Gains Title with 16 Wins. Robbinsdale won its first Lake Conference basketball title in eleven years, its third title in the Robin’s twenty-four year history counting a tic with Hopkins in 1949 and an outright win in 1950. “Spirit, intelligence, wonderful balance, and two fine co-captains in Larry Peterson and Gene Billmyrc — that’s how we won!” exclaimed Coach McDonald. Starting the season with three veterans: Peterson, Art Johnson, and Larry Campbell, a transfer from Patrick Henry, the first string was one of the smallest in the league, averaging close to six feet. Size became unimportant as all opposition, except a scrappy Bloomington five, was defeated. Excellent scoring by all members of the team, good rebounding by Ken YVestphal, and playmaking by Johnson and Campbell, plus long-shooting ability contributed to the successful records compiled. 1961 A SQUAD BASKETBALL SCHEDULE We They Dec. 6 Minnetonka....... 39 37 Dec. 9 Hopkins.......... 70 59 Dec. 13 Bloomington...... 50 54 Dec. 16 Richfield.........81 48 Dec. 23 Superior Central ....... 69 44 Jan. 6 .

Showing excellent prospects for next year’s varsity, the buck-etmen overwhelmed opponents with a forty per cent shooting average and gained invaluable experience in the tough Lake Conference. Starting the season with two easy wins, the squad dropped the next two by close scores with Bloomington and Richfield. Bouncing back with seven consecutive wins in rugged conference contests, the young team exhibited poise and confidence. Dick Weikle and Steve Hokanson led in field goal tallies, while Brian Henry and Bob Jewett specialized in rebounding to complement the all around performances of team members. Final standing for the netters showed them third in the conference behind the two teams that beat them, Bloomington and Richfield. 221 FRONT ROW: W. Schyler, R. McCashin, F. Paulson, K. Howe, R.

This was Coach Grygclko’s finest record in his reign at The Home of the Robins. Only five teams scored double figures against the matmen during the year. So powerful and deep were the wrestlers that B Squad members would sjxill the varsity in some matches to give the A members a breather and themselves valuable experience for next season. Not only did the wrestlers handle the top teams in Minnesota, but on January 20 they beat Wisconsin’s 1960 State Champion Team 32 to 8. Going into the Districts on February 17 the leading grapplers compiled these outstanding records: Co- captain Dick Bassett 14—0, Co-captain Dick Timm 13—0—1, Bob McCashin 12—2, Floyd Paulson 13—1, Rick Bracsch 12—2, Rick Evans 13—1, and Bob Bodin LJL —t SENIOR MATMEN: S.

As powerful and full of desire for winning as the A Squad, they also tallied a perfect season. Nearly half of the team was undefeated in its matches as power dealt with power in every contest.

Power against power scores points. 224 TMEN TAKE STATE TITLE On Saturday evening, March 4, at Gustavus Adolpus College, Robbinsdale won its first state championship wrestling title in fifteen years. “We went down to St. Peter determined to take it, and all eight of our entries scored points for us. It paid off to have real athletes and competitors,” said Coach Grygelko in explaining the close contest with Grand Rapids. J. Violctt, F. Paulson, R. Evans, W. Almendingcr, G. Howe, R. Bassett, R. Timm, and S. Rondest-vedt claimed the trophy by showing the same spirit and determination they had all year. Going after the pin in all matches throughout the season accounted for fifty per cent of the team’s wins. Bassett took the 165 pound championship in his senior year having lost out in the state finals in both his sophomore and junior years. Timm dropped a heartbreaker to Mattson of Rapids but scored points to bring the final tally for the team to 54 while Grand Rapids scored 50. B. Bodin forces shoulder to mat for pin. Opponent scorns D. Timm’s reach. 225 Sol melts rink hopes. Minnesota’s unseasonable thawing midwinter weather did the Robins’ home rink little good, as practice was hampered and regular scrimmage curtailed by the soupy ice chips. Co-captains. Dan Cloninger and Jay Syvcrson led their charges to an eight win, two tic record. The senior dominated team gained esprit dc corps late in the season by evening Bloomington, but Richfield was the spoiler, winning two tough ones and bouncing the locals in the district play-ofTs 4 to 1. Earlier, the bladcmen skated to wins against YVayzata, Minnetonka, St. Louis Park, Mound, and Hopkins. Defending District Champion Edina scored wins of 4—0 and 6—0 over the local puckstcrs and again captured the Conference Title.

In the Northwest Open competing against all Minnesota teams, the Robins took a third in Class C and a seventh in Class B. Denny Sullivan paced the matmen in B by taking a first on the parallel bars and a second in “All-around” performance. In Class C, Cal Wright placed sixth on the parallels and Gordy Campbell look a second on the mats. Fairmont proved to be the toughest Robin opponent in all the Invitational Meets. In three meetings the Robins won by double their opponent's score, but at the Fairmont Invitational, the Robins, with only fifteen of their twenty-two member squad present, squeezed a victory by the mere margin of four and a half points. In the Dual Meets, Robbinsdale won once from Patrick Henry, once from Marshall, and twice from Alexander Ramsey. Sullivan, Steve Weisser, Bill Christopherson and Mike Mortcnson paced the team in the Class B. In C Class, Wright, George Invie, Jim Fultz, and Campbell showed fine form, while in Class D, Hal Risely and Grant Wood scored readily. Losing only to North’s team all year, the Robins exhibited extreme depth and power in all | ositions. With slight graduation losses, the prospects for 1962 were bright for Coach Leach’s squad of muscular matmen. FRONT ROW: J. Breck. S. Gamlin, R. Johnson, D. Cragg, R. Ironside, G. Campbell, R.

A new swimming coach, a new crop of promising sophomore candidates, and plans for a district pool to be ready by the fall of 1962 were important events in the swimming schedule at Robbinsdale. Coach Ame Johnson, Gustavus graduate where he captained the swimming team, had a successful building year as he was indoctrinated to the Lake Conference. Co-captains Ric Mahnerd and Ken Olson aided the young squad to finish the season with a seven-won, six-loss record. Don Grant, sophomore, made LC headlines as he remained unbeaten in the breaststroke, breaking all existing times and also took the 200 medley in the conference. Ilis breaststroke although beating state records was not entered having been registered in local competition. The tank men finished fourth in District 18 rankings. On February 18 at Cooke Hall, Grant broke the existing 200 medley record in 2:15.8 and tied the 100 yard breast stroke at 1:07.6. Robbinsdale finished sixth in the state rankings.

The planet Earth completed another cycle and the events of time made their marks on the minds and hearts of men. The space around our world was explored by monkeys and astronauts as ships orbited in ethereal wonder ment. The United States had a new president, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, to direct the new frontier expeditions. Russia launched a rocket ship to Venus, once just a star, now a neighbor. On the ground there was a different kind of excitement as world races collided in ideological skirmishes. Africa was viewed almost like a new-born continent with the probems of the young.

BONAR Wide World ASTRONAUT Alan Shepard. o' A, 250 Through electronic communications, the world saw and heard the United States send a Mercury rocket 115 miles into space. The ship was controlled by a highly-trained astronaut who kept Earthlings informed of his flight and descent — a fantastic feat for a human — and for his country. Three weeks earlier, a Russian, Yuri Gagarin, had orbited the earth and U.S. hopes for space conquest had sagged. Now there was elation. The fifteen minute jaunt had given a much-needed shot in the arm to the prestige of THE SWEET LAND OF LIBERTY. 251 To strengthen his New Frontier President Kennedy made a goodwill visit to European Heads of State and Mr. Khrushchev. Accompanied by his fashionable wife — popularly known as Jackie — JFK sought U.S. friendship with peoples commonly allied in the quest for lasting world peace. On the local frontier the academic year drew to a close. Although summer school courses and library services were available, most students looked forward to a vacation. Jobs were scarce, and it was time to give thought to a future — away from THE HOME OF THE ROBINS. 252 Home of the Robins New York Trip Annual Signing Commencement March Graduation Party Elections Held at RHS.

SENIORS DINE AT MAY 18 BANQUET 'DIARY’ RECOUNTS NAZI ATROCITIES THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK, dramatized by Goodrich and Hackett, was presented by Robbinsdale’s Senior Class on April 28 and 29. Skillfully directed by Miss Winifred Larson, cast members brought warmth and understanding to their difficult roles. Marti Fredrickson thrilled capacity audiences with her sensitive portrayal of Anne as she shared an attic warehouse with her family and friends for over three years during the Nazi occupation of Holland. Her father, Mr. Frank, played by Pepper Jensen, sought refuge from the Jewish oppressors by bringing his family to the same building where he had conducted his business in peaceful times. THE DIARY recounted a young girl’s hope of survival and ultimate freedom from the anxieties and dictates of warring peoples. DIARY CAST, FRONT ROW: C. Foxworth, Mrs. Van ROW: M. Fredrickson, Anne, H.

Sparkling fountain reflects theme for Prom 1961 Shangri-la. SHANGRI-LA REIGNS SUP Purchasing a spring formal gown and renting a “tux” were foremost in the minds of R.H.S. juniors and seniors as they prepared for the biggest event of the closnig school year — Prom 1961. Preparations were soon under way; the theme chosen by the Junior Class Board was Shangri-la. The decoration committee, headed by juniors Dan Cragg and Sandy Gohr, transformed the gym into a magnificent Japanese tea garden, with glimmering lanterns, exquisite lifelike murals, and a charming Japanese tea house. Couples danced to the tunes of Gary Bloom’s orchestra. Although the weather was quite cool, Prom couples enjoyed picnics, water skiing, tennis, golf, and other outdoor activities the following Sunday. Weary, but happy, students returned to regular school activity on Monday morning afer a fun-filled Prom weekend. REME FOR PROM 1961 Prom Co-Chairmen prepare to cut the cake for the celebration.

Bill- DIAMONDMEN WIN DISTRICT TITLE The 1961 BASEBALL TEAM whizzed through its first six non conference games with pitching and hitting power to spare. With nine returning letter-men and an outstanding transfer pitcher from Henry L. Campbell, Coach Staples anticipated a whirlwind season of successes that found the ROBINS bringing home the District Championship. The diamondmen found conference play a little rougher than the openers and dropped three of the first four games. The resulting four-four record necessitated playoffs with Hopkins which the locals won 6 to 1, and with the Valley Conference Champions, Watertown, which they took 7 to 5. In the second round of elimination the Robins nabbed a close one with Edina by out hustling them 6 to 4, and giving them a spot in the district finals. On May 31, the team reached its peak in the title game against Bloomington. The superiority of the batmen showed through right from the start. The batting power which had faltered at times during the season finally broke loose. B. Buresh brought in six RBIs on a home run and an error on a triple which resulted in a round tripper. R. Roalstad and Captain C. Rapp added their strength and, along with the rest of the team, pelted the Bears with a sound defeat. L. Campbell pitched one of his greatest games striking out eight, walking two, and giving up only five hits. The final scoreboard reading was: Robins 11 Bears 2. Four team members, L. Campbell. R. Roalstad. P. Clements, and B. Buresh, were voted to the ALL DISTRICT TEAM. In Regional Five play the Robins came in second to Washburn in a close 2 to 1 game. myre, W. Lloyd, B. Buresh. L.

THIRD The Trackmen brought home trophies in three dual and tri meets, the St. John’s Invitational for the eleventh time in thirteen years, the first Robin Relays, and the Distant Medley Conference Championship to place them third in District 18, and fourth in Region 5 standings . At the State Indoor Meet, Bruce Hopko broke the school mile record for the first of five different times during the season. His best time was at the St. Cloud Regional Meet where he was clocked at 4.34.2. Jerry McClces, Fred Snyder, Shelly Gough and Ron Stimson broke the school record for the 880 relays at the Conference Meet with a time of 1.33.2. At St. John’s, the foursome, although handicapped by a muddy track, ran at 1.35.6 to assist the SIXTH CONSECUTIVE TEAM TROPHY. At the MANKATO RELAYS the four scored against defending State Champions, Minneapolis Central, with a 1.34.5 to break the record, but overtiming Edina’s runners by three tenths of a second. Four of Robbinsdalc’s trackmen made the Regional competition: S. Gough placed first in the broad jump and a fifth in the high hurdles; J. McClees a third in the 100 yard dash; and B. Hopko tallied a fourth in the mile. In the trials for the State Meet held on June 5, S. Gough ran the high hurdles at 15.2 and in the finals the low hurdles at 20.2. Stimson’s 20.11 broad jump in the trials did not qualify. The Robin Thinclads were coached by Marv Wrucke and Cal Belden. 265 £3 Twenty-nine Letter in Track BRUCE HOPKO, above, is shown receiving the coveted JOHN COOPER TRACK AWARD for 1961 from Superintendent E.

The senior dominated team was hampered by unfavorable spring weather necessitating indoor gym practice. The Regent Courts were used as the home arena. Final standings listed the ROBINS as fifth in District 18 and sixth in Region 5. Top Player Johnson took third in the district singles competition entering him in the regional play. Against defending champion F. Klcckner of Roosevelt he showed excellent form and power to record a win in the semi finals. Edina’s A. Goddard, injured in the first match, took the championship in the postponed game on May 31, 6—0, 6—1. Coach Adams confers with Captain Johnson. VARSITY SQUAD. FRONT ROW: D. Groth, L. Pitschka, S.

Sullivan, Coach Les Alden looked for a repeat title. Minnesota’s inclement spring weather, however, had its effect on the linksmen. Swaddled in sweaters and jackets to ward-off the cold, wet days, the players got an inauspicious start, dropping the opening match to St. Louis Park on April 17. Against Wayzata on the home course, Golden Valley, the niblick carriers managed a win, but lost the next two to Minnetonka on the Minnetonka Course and to Edina at Interlachen. A tie with Bloomington and two successive wins against Mound and Hopkins left the 1961 team with a 3—3—1 record. Co-Captain Westphal shot the lowest score of the year, a 35. All matches were based on nine hole play and in the district competition the Robins tallied 340 points to give them a third place ranking. Co-captains, K. Westphal and R. Simonscn with Coach L.

WARMATH CITES “Winning is the most important part of a game as long as scores arc kept,” stated University of Minnesota head football coach MURRAY WARMATH at Robbins-dale’s annual Lettermen’s Banquet, May 22. The Tennessee bom grid mentor recalled interesting sidelights of his colorful career to five hundred ROBINS and fans. He emphasized the importance of a strong academic training to an individual, but cited the following four benefits to be derived from participation in a sport: (1) physical development, (2) rest and relaxation from an arduous task, (3) self discipline, and (4) the promotion of a spirit of competition that cannot be learned in the classroom. Warmath stressed that an athlete should abide by the rules of good sportsmanship and always give the best possible to play to win. He favored the team contact sport over the individual participant type because “the spirit of competition and Mr. Murray Warmath Banquet guests: Principal M. M. Miclke, M. Warmath, Sportscaster F. Buetcl, Superintendent E. J. Cooper. WINNING WAYS Minnesota Coach the pressure is greater,” but he asserted that all athletic participation affords the player challenges and provides opportunities to learn values that may be retained and also carried over into the individual’s future life as a permanent part of his philosophy. Mr. Warmath shared the speakers’ platform with several well-known celebraties. Mr. Robert Larsen, Robbinsdale Athletic Director, introduced WTCN sports announcer. Frank Buetcl, who served as master of ceremonies for the program and presented Lettermen to the audience. Verne Gagne, nationally ranked wrestler and alumnus of Robbinsdale. was guest of honor at the banquet. The famous Ewald Bros.
