SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Duke Olson, vice-president; Barb K. Nelson, secretary; Don Streufert, president, and Jim Honigschmidt, treasurer. RHS NOTES LAST GROUP OF “WAR BABIES” TO COMPLETE HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION In 1950 or 1951, just a few years affcy- World War II, this year's seniors trooped to school for the first time. Twelve years and many experiences later, the class of 1963 made its debut info the adult world. The process of education was gradual, but new knowledge was added daily, and eventually a crop of five and six-year old finger-painters and construction-paper-users were transformed into mature seniors nearly ready to tackle jobs or college. The last year was hectic and was filled with fun— the senior party, homecoming, and the prom. But it was also a year of work and accomplishments, as seniors won awards for academic achievements— scholarships and recognition for top test scores. 10

FOR 1962-63 SCHOOL YEAR When Robbinsdale opened its doors for the '62 fall term, the administration had acquired a new assistant principal, Mr. Lyle Mottinger. Through the co-ordinated efforts of Mr. Mottinger and the other assistant principals, Mr. John Thiede and Mr. Russell Hill, the 1962 school year began without the principal, Mr. Mielke. However, he recovered quickly from his illness. Returning to his task, he supervised the education of more than 2,500 students, the largest student body ever in the senior high. Despite the size of the school enrollment and the many complications which arose, Mr. Mielke, with the help of his three assistants, again met the challenge of education. Meeting this challenge has been a task Mr. Mielke has undertaken during the last thirty-four years. These men are not only looking forward to next year with anticipation, but toward the day when the second senior high school with its greater educational opportunities will be open to the growing student population. Robbinsdale welcomed Mr. Mottinger os a new assistant principal. Mr. Hill encourages more student spirit and participation in school activities. 9
