Mielke has been involved in every phase of life at Robbinsdale High School since its founding. This short, jovial, man who seems always to be hurrying, knows everything there is to know about RHS. He feels that he has grown up along with the school district and its problems. Mr. Mielke has seen Robbinsdale grow from a district without even one high school to a district which is now contemplating its third one. Adapting easily to this growth in education, he has helped RHS to become one of the finest schools in the state. Students have changed a great deal since 1929, says Mr. Mielke. Their viewpoint has matured and they do more of their own thinking. Teen-agers today are more philosophical, and can take responsibility without regimentation. He has always believed that the Administration should support the faculty. Throughout his years as a principal, Mr. Mielke has always been very loyal to his teachers. Any member of the faculty would agree with that, said one teacher. Students, caught up in the excitement of a project, have sometimes felt that Mr. Mielke was unyielding, even obstinate. But, as one poetic Junior said, Mr. Mielke will support you to the end, if you have a cause which you can admirably defend. To this man who has devoted so many years to making Robbinsdale High School outstanding, we dedicate ROBIN '68. We have argued with you, Mr. Mielke, and usually lost. But, like you, we hold no grudges. Good luck with your hunting and fishing! 7 Signs of Involvement We show with our actions that we are involved .. .

We applaud as one audience for other students who perform for us. We attend a party, and dance alike to one song. In the beginning, we meet our teachers as one critical student. We leave the school for a favorite place, the favorite of all of us as one. We are involved as one among others. 17 Masses Reign Supreme at RHS As First Day of School Arrives Noise, masses, end confusion all were a part of Sophomore orientation as the class of 70 prepared for the big day—September 5, 1967! Over 700 Sophomores crowded info the RHS auditorium on August 23 to hear Student Council President Bob Boeck's welcoming address. Then, with the aid of tour guides, they found their classrooms, the library, and the labs. In the lunchroom representatives from the various RHS clubs introduced the new Robins to their organizations. They began to feel at home. The first day of school again brought the noise, masses, and confusion, but this time for new and old alike. With RHS enrollment topping 2700, crowded halls, odd lunch periods, and shared lockers were unavoidable for all Robbinsdale students. That big day brought problems for teachers too: the extra student, a misplaced seating chart, no chalk, and 150 new names to learn. But what would the first day of school have been like without the noise ... the masses ... the inescapable confusion? INVOLVEMENT in an RHS club begins as a future teacher signs up for FTA. AMID CONFUSION in the lunchroom, sophomores look over the organizations and get information from juniors and seniors seeking new members. PROMOTING THESPIANS, Bruce Docpko strums his guitar to attract sophomores to the club. NEW SHOES and polished floors shine in anticipation of the '67-'68 school year.

Pompons, Pins, and Pepfest Proclaim Homecoming ’67 Enthusiasm, color, and just plain bedlam filled the Homecoming day of 1967. German Club's pepfest began festivities bright and early in the morning. At noon, cheerleaders led cheers in the foyer where they were helped by boy cheerleaders. Latin citizens in togas, Spanish amigos, German Frauleins in dirndls, and French coquettes displayed the costumes of the countries promoted by their clubs. Pompons, beanies, and buttons adorned the majority of students. The girls in the Homecoming court dressed with more sophistication, but their faces revealed their inner emotions. That morning was the forerunner of the day's explosive events, and the beginning of a memorable RHS Homecoming. 20 Who? was the question that ran like an electric shock through the crowd. Tension was unbearable until, after a few minutes of indecision by the football tri-captains, Karen Pederson was chosen Homecoming Queen. A rousing program followed this, after which there was a parade into Robbinsdale. Floats had been a matter of concern the night before, but students said, It was worth it! Judges awarded first prize to German Club's float. That evening to the cheers of the students and old grads alike, the team was victorious. After the game many students entered the Tahitian Twilight of the homecoming dance. Strobescopic lights and tropical palms were all a part of the magic of that night. NERVOUSLY AWAITING presentation at the Homecoming auditorium are the top 16 queen candidate!: front row: J. Erickson, T. Ewald, M. Lindquist, K. Sims, G. Siverson, B. Spurrier, I. Larson, C.

WPA Invites Students To Rediscover Storyland Little Red Riding Hood hustled the Wolf and Peter Pumpkin Eater made his wife stay in her pumpkin as the band played on. These and other striking costumes depicted the theme of Robbinsdale's 1967 WPA dance, Storybook Land. Imitating courtesies such as opening doors and asking for dances, the girls caught on quickly in their roles as boys. A little known fact is that Timothy Game-lin, now a teacher at Gustavus Adolphus, was responsible for beginning WPA. In 1959, he moved here from Austin where they already had a form of WPA. Elected to student council, he proposed a similar plan. All the lucky girls who got their guys wish to say, Thanks, Mr. Gamelin! 25 Fall Play, ‘Inherit the Wind,' Battles Complacency and Injustice Fiery speeches, deep thoughts and mind probing evidence pointed out the themo of Robbinsdale's Fall play, Inherit the Wind directed by Mr. Frank Pluf. Is the Bible truthful if it is taken word for word? This question was the base of the debated issue. When defense attorney Drummond stated as his belief, An idea is a greater monument than a cathedral , Brady, prosecuting attorney, retorted that the Bible was the word of God. The play's purpose was not to prove Darwin's evolutionary theory but to expose people's unwillingness to question old ideas. Presenting these opposing views proved a challenge to both Mr. Pluf and one of the largest casts in RHS play history. A fixed set was constructed depicting the town which eliminated the need for set changes. The town loomed in back of the court scene as if to suggest that Hillsboro itself was on trial.

Robbinsdale's contest one act, taken from Thurber's Carnival, revolved around this reversed epigram. Intense competition was the cause of the cast's overwrought nerves as they watched the rival plays. Surmounting their anxieties, Mr. Bruce McLean and the first cast that he had directed at RHS won the district contest, went on to the regionals and secured a triple A rating and ranked as first alternate to St. Louis Park. Looking back. Senior Jeff Jones commented, In spite of the hard work, we got involved in the play and had a lot of fun with it. The cast profited from many technical experiences. SENIOR BRUCE DOEPKE provides willing labor 10 prepare the truck for tot trantportation to different contest location , alnce the catf it responsible for mott technical phase of the play.

Door decorations ranged from the tiniest, pink angel to the prize-winning sister and brother . Carols were played over Muzak, corsages appeared on coats, and seasonal greetings were exchanged between old and new friends alike, while a Yuletide atmosphere reigned throughout the halls. Select Choir gave their annual Christmas concert to the students, and seniors of the choir caroled past classrooms the day before Christmas vacation. The first day of Snow Week, during the January thaw, brought a pepfest in the foyer, wintry signs and decor, and introduction of King and Queen candidates in the auditorium, ending with nighttime tobogganing. A week filled with winter time festivities had officially begun. A SOFT QUALITY OF SOLITUDE AND BEAUTY is portrayed by a Christmas tree at RHS even during the rush of Yuletide activities.

Unlike other years, the Snow Week King and Queen candidates reigned as Snow princes and princesses until Friday night's dance coronation when John Wood and Merrilyn Lindquist were crowned King and Queen. Rivalry between the sexes, intensified through the Boy-Girl Hockey Game, brought cheering fans to the RHS ice rink after school. Crystal Lake, utilized by loyal subjects, was the scene of after dinner ice skating complete with a crackling bonfire. Regal Robins truly did Sleigh the Sno despite the early thaw.

UPON BEING found mysteriously under the table, Mimi nonsensically announces I am a dear little white rose. DIRTY JOE, Eddie Schellenbach, and Stinker hold a rousing gangster meeting. Airy and Light, ‘Mrs. McThing’ Enlivens RHS Drama Schedule Mrs. McThing, the light and ludicrous winter play, proved to be a refreshing change of pace for the Robbinsdale drama department. Miss Winnifred Larson, director of the comedietta, chose the play primarily to balance the '67-'68 drama program, and because it was educational. According to both experienced and inexperienced cast members, Mrs. McThing encouraged individual imagination in developing unusual characters. As the play progressed, leading actors often played double character roles to accentuate Mrs. McThing's sorcerous behavior. Howay, played by Howard Weinstein, portrayed both the loveable stick-boy and the challenging all-American brat. Other novel personalities were three infantile gangsters, a social snob, an inquisitive chef, and a lummox bodyguard. Spirited characters added humor to the airy, captivating Mrs. McThing. Presentation of ‘Table for Two' Opens Drama Season at RHS Is a man who persistently nudges a lady in a movie theatre guilty of a moral sin? This question was aroused in Robbins-dale's production of Table for Two. Directed by Mr. Neal Luebke, the play was designed to explore the question of morality and provide experience for beginner actors and stagehands. The sophisticated revival of the one-act play series, brought varied comments— Too dramatic , Good acting , Drawn out , Nice character portrayal . Action centered around a domineering mother, her 33 year old daughter and a retired army officer in their search for an unconquerable love to fill their empty lives.

Alice in Wonderland, this year's children's play, presented a fantasy for its technical crew as well as the audience. The make-up crew employed blue, green, white, and yellow body paint, glitter, and sequins to create capricious characters. Costumers were constantly on the go-wiring Humpty Dumpty with a crystal mike, getting the tortoise in and out of her shell, and tracking down lost whiskers. Although set construction was simple in design, the psychedelic lighting resembled an avant-garde theatre, as one viewer noted. Children young and old were caught in the spell of Wonderland. 37 Voluntary After-School Pepfests Accent Robin Rooters’ Loyalty Have you got that spirit? Yeah, man! Robbinsdale students had-and kept that spirit, judging from the crowds at the voluntary pepfests this year. The idea of students volunteering to attend pepfests was initiated to boost the morale of the teams. Football Coach Nerdahl said, This is the first pepfest that I've really wanted to attend because I know everyone else wants to be here, too. Amid the excitement, were times when Robins had to stow the spirit and start the studies, but they did both diligently. There were hectic disturbances in the atmosphere such as Iowa tests and speeches in front of a class; but these always gave way to calmer, more everyday procedures. Their future goals kept the students hitting the books and their loyalty kept the spirit at RHS moving. SPILLED COKES, GREASY POPCORN, AND MOBS cause confusion at tho concession stand at Robbinsdalc. TRY AS SHE MIGHT, some day Junior Debbie Seward, as well as oilier students, just can't make ii to homeroom on time. CROWOS AND NOISE are characteristic of RHS pepfests.

Homework and part-time jobs kept most Robins busy during the week. Jobs varied from dishwashing at Glenwood Hospital to clerking at Brookdale. Weekends proved to be as busy as the week itself—dancing lessons, music lessons, babysitting, Sunday school, and homework. Two favorite recreational spots were the new teenage nightclub, Someplace Else, and Brave New Workshop. An occasional Saturday night was spent at Tyrone Guthrie Theater or listening to the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra. Sunday afternoon found Robins visiting art centers or just spending the day with a favorite friend. All in all, the year was more than books, books, books. 40 lounge FOR AN AFTER-THE-SHOW snack or Just for social, izlng many students, like Senior Bob Villars and Sophomore Steve Jones, gather at the Robin's Nest.

We accept the challenge, hoping to be first, but settling for having tried our hardest. We pit ourselves against our opponents, but only for the sport. We try to hold no grudges because we represent Robbinsdaie and we want to maintain our image. We want to know that by involving ourselves it is possible to command respect in victory or defeat. 43 OFF WITH THE SHOT, Robin runners are out to break the standing records. CAPTAIN JOHN HOPKO pours on the steam in the last yards of a grueling twomilo run to come in first. TIMES ARE CHECKED to tho doMlt fraction of a second by Coach Stephen Thompson before a new team record is verified. 44 Hopko Breaks Two-Mile Record, Team Ends 4th in Conference A two-mile jaunt around Crystal Lake and down the hills of Lakeview Park doesn't sound too inviting, but it was a typical meet for RHS's cross country team. Besides that, each boy accumulated over 180 miles of practice running enough to have carried him to Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and back. But all that practice mileage paid off. The team placed fourth in the conference, led by Captain John Hopko, who topped off his perfect season by setting a now school record of 9.54 minutes in the two-mile run at Nokomis. Besides their regular meets, the team made a trip to Duluth for the Swain Invi-tational, ran in the Anoka Invitational, and sponsored a Robin Invitational. The team had a new coach this year, Mr. Stephen Thompson, who hoped to give the team a really big buildup, but despite cooperation from the Robin's Tale, who gave them long writeups in every issue, people couldn't seem to find Lakeview Park. The coach said, If was too bad. 8ut many nervous members were relieved not to be in the spotlight.

But once the season was underway it was clear that they would go far beyond expectations. Standing-room-only crowds saw the Robins win game after game which they had been predicted to lose. Fighting an uphill battle all the way, the team went on to finish the season 8-1. As tri-captain Kem-nitz said, We really wanted to win! A victory over Richfield, then ranked first in state, highlighted early season play. The Robins scored early in the second period, and again in the third on a forty-yard pass from Morgan to Yackel. Robin defense held Richfield scoreless until the fourth quarter, when the Spartans scored on a touchdown pass, and then made an apparent touchdown in the last second of the game. But officials ruled that time had already run out, and the Robins won 13-6, changing many early opinions.

The promise came true as the Robins downed Edina for the first time in eight years, in the first game ever played on the newly renamed Mielke field. The Robins took the lead in the second quarter on a plunge by Morgan, but the Hornets tied it up with only three minutes remaining before the half. Then the Robins got possession of the ball, and regained the lead on a touchdown pass made in the last second before the quarter end. After a scoreless third quarter and with time running out, Petroski kicked a field goal to insure the 17-7 victory, and Morgan's promise.

But the season was not all victory. The team also knew the agony of defeat. The undefeated Robins lost their last game of the season to Hopkins with a score of 13-18, and settled for sharing the Lake Conference title with Richfield. Hopkins scored in the early minutes of the first quarter, and though the Robins scored two touchdowns, once on an 87 yard punt return by Morgan, the Warriors came back after each tally and also scored two more touchdowns, winning the game that upset the conference football race. Yet the team's uphill drive still ended at the top. For the second year in a row the title had been split; last year RHS shared with Edina. 48 VICTORY ON HOMECOMING bring cheerleader onto the field to congratulate the team.

The intramural program was established mainly as a conditioning for boys from all grades who were ineligible for team sports, with a secondary aim towards recreation. One intramural man added, It's a great place to come and mess around with the guys. Lots of boys agreed with this. Weight lifting proved popular, but part-time cagers far outnumbered muscle men. The intramural basketball tournament in January involved some 100 boys, enough to form two leagues, including teams like Axel and His Dogs and Kraemer's Com-mancheros. Coaches volunteered their time because they felt it was a worthwhile effort towards widening the scope of RHS's athletic program.

Led by Dave Kundla, who was consistently in double figures, they came from behind to win several of their games. But they were known to let opponents eat up as much as twenty points advantage, and lose the game. Their early season record of 5-1 tied them for second place. Then, beleaguered by injuries to starters, including co-captain Greg Shish, they settled into a slump and dropped into fifth place with a 6-6 record. One-basket decisions were the Robin's downfall. These came as they beat Kennedy by a scant two points, after letting the Eagles close a 19-point gap. One week later they were ahead by 20 points, but by the end of the game were tied 62-62. It looked like it should go into overtime, but Hopkins stole the ball and scored as the final buzzer blew. They lost their next game by one point in an overtime. But, they came back to deal a fen-point blow to Cooper finishing the season with a winning streak.

The Junior Varsity and B-Squad teams were made up of boys with enough potential to play Varsity, but without enough experience. The JV team was pitted against ten other JV squads, all from Lake Conference schools. They were also considered to be members of the Varsity squad, and suited up for every A game. A completely Sophomore group, the B-Squad basketball team began their season with a bang by beating Richfield's B team in an overtime. They went on to complete a 20 game schedule and came out with more wins than losses. The team travelled with Varsity and played their games just before A games. After B-Squad games the team would observe from the bleachers as Varsity played with the polish they were all working to achieve.

But these were only a part of the price paid in tieing for number one. With a minimum amount of experienced wrestlers to depend upon, the Robins had to rely on talent and just plain hard work to gain success. A small squad that did not give the appearance of champion wrestlers, proved that looks can be deceiving when they walked off with the conference trophy and momentarily forgot hunger and sore muscles. Hopkins gave the Robin matmen their toughest battle. Both teams were determined to remain undefeated. The lead see-sawed until, going into the heavyweight match, the Robins were losing 18-20. It was up to Senior Greg Stewart to win. As the last second of the match drained away, each man had earned two points. Time ran out; everyone in the deathly silent gymnasium was on his feet. Then, calmly, the ref walked over and raised Stewart's hand in victory. The crowd went wild. Meets like this made wrestling the best-supported winter sport.

The enthusiasm it created inspired so many team hopefuls that coaches created history and cut the squad. The only team the Robins beat during regular season's meets was Lincoln. However, they also downed a total of six teams at invitational, including Stillwater, a team which held the number one swimmers in their conference. Ironically, many swimmers turned in their year's best time, not in the meets they won, but in the Cooper meet where they were defeated.

And when it finally came, they were ready to begin defeating their opponents. Students in homerooms began hearing things like, Congratulations to the Robins for skiing off with top honors at their meet yesterday. With a coach who really went all out for us this year, a team which was loyal to rigid practice schedules, and a hard working manager, Robbinsdale was able to defeat every school in the Lake Conference. While the jumpers were sailing over Wirth Park, and the cross country team was sliding through practice on Miekle Field, the slalom team was whipping between poles and taking icy spills at Highland Hills. As a result the team only met as a whole on their out-of-town practice trips. Although they competed on different days, the season was a victory for the skiers as a whole. Points accumulated at individual meets were totaled towards each triumph. Earning the title was a true team victory.

They had to start with simple stunts like somersaults, but by the end of the season they were performing complete sets. The fact that over 30 sophomores turned out encouraged coach Dan Cragg to the point of near elation. Even though he drove to RHS from Sandburg Junior High every day, he was rewarded by the great practices. The abundance of boys proved to be a problem because of the lack of practice space and apparatus, but this didn't discourage them. Many strenuous hours of hard work were put in by each gymnast in the hopes of making A-squad. A member of the team summed up the year with, Even though we started out inexperienced, we worked hard to gain skill and confidence. But with all the hard work came satisfaction. 69 Desire to Finish Near the Top Nets Second Place for Pucksters He says he loves me second ... He loves hockey first, moaned one hockey player's girl friend. She was well aware of the typical devotion every Robin puck-ster had for his sport. For them hockey fever began long before the season, and lasted months after it was over. When they couldn't be found at practice, they were probably observing a professional hockey game. From the start they had but one goal in mind: to be the best hockey team Robbinsdale had ever seen. After seeing them play, hopes ran high among fans that they had a very good chance of succeeding. But they were outdone by Edina, and finished second. A fantastic growing interest in the sport was displayed as more and more students, as well as proud parents, flocked to Braemar, braving the chills of the ice arena to cheer the team on. Going into the second Edina game, the Robins and the Hornets were tied for the number one position. Both defenses held tight through the first two periods, until with four minutes left the Hornets found a chance to score. As Edina raised hockey sticks above their heads, hopes sank for the Robins. Though they outshot, out-skated, outpassed, and outgoaled Edina, Robbinsdale was defeated by a team who was able to make one less mistake. A-SQUAD HOCKEY TEAM: Front row: B. Younghans, S. Moc, K.

Besides pushing pep at games as often as five nights a week, they planned pepfests and cheered at formerly ignored sports such as cross-country, swimming, and track, thereby setting new traditions. They also held a clinic for ten non-conference cheerleading squads. Coach Nerdahl summed up his admiration for the group by saying, You can't have champion teams without champion cheerleaders. Sacrifices of time and energy created a more enthusiastically sports-minded student body. Seniors Terri Thompson and her alternate, Linda Gleason were the forces behind the great bird, otherwise known as the Robin mascot. In addition to cheering, the Robin did acrobatics on the field. Fans in the stands sometimes wondered whether or not it would get its beak caught in the ground. B-Squad cheerleaders, after practicing all summer under the watchful eye of A-Squad, stepped into the year, passed the awkwardness of their first game, and learned to display the polished spirit inherent to cheerleading. They acquired a genuine devotion to the school's sports. AFTER AN ACTIVE SEASON, Junior Kathy Blais collapse in a pit of pompon .

We are satisfied, though, when the task has been completed. We find our participation rewarding and involvement worthwhile. 75 Robins Serve RHS In Varied Ways Wc serve in varied ways ... as leaders and followers. We work to become an intricate and important part of each school day. Instead of just coming at 8:00 and leaving at 2:40, we care enough to get involved. We want to improve Robbins-dale, make its name stand for something, and its standards the highest. So we give of our time and talents to serve as officers, as student council representatives, or as assistants to the administration. We may be criticized for what we do, but we stand proud. We try to do what is right and meaningful. The inexplicable feeling we have for Robbinsdale is expressed by us in our service. Council Fights for Rights Amid Praise and Criticism Despite many stabbing criticisms the student council of '67-'68 attempted to get more students involved in its many activities and new programs. A campaign to stop school vandalism, an improved Toys for Tots drive, and a Safety Committee that did more than put salt on the sidewalks, were the council's responses to complaints that it was a meaningless organization. To make a stronger organization, the executive board in a show up or go move dismissed members who were not working. The Council also sponsored the traditional Homecoming, WPA, and Hootenjazzy, along with the bookstore, and student directories. Accompanied by their own jolly Santa Claus, some members went to the Cambridge State Mental Hospital to sing carols for the patients.

Oop—don't forget your program, and I hope you enjoy the show. Members of Usher Club were kept busy this year stumbling over feet in the dark at the plays, the musical, concerts, and helping at PTA Back to School Night. These girls handed out programs and showed people to their proper seats before each performance. If was fun and besides that we got to see the shows free, commented one member. Joan Austin was president of the club and Mr. Geisler was their advisor. Slamming doors, loud laughter, directions of where to meet after school, and bits of gossip were just some of the sounds heard by the 101 RHS Hall guides this year. Students with iron nerves and a good set of ear plugs who wished to become hall guides had to sign up at the beginning of the year. Seniors who had survived serving their junior year were given priority. Hall guides met no requirements except that they be responsible. Because of the many applications, hall guides were picked at random by the advisor, Mr. Alden. At the close of the school year the hall guides were awarded certificates of recognition from the office. USHER CLUB member arc 8ack row: 0. Aho, B. Thorud. B. Johnson, C. Finke, M. Peterson, N.

Tangled in Equipment, A-V Works Endlessly Assorted cameras, projectors, recorders, and phonographs cluttered the office where the A-V crew worked. Daily they distributed equipment and serviced the language lab supervised by Mr. Norman Juliot. After school and in the mornings they took pictures for the annual and the newspaper. This year the entire staff toured Cooper's A-V department and a television studio, and those on the photo crew also visited a color processing lab.

As Richard Stuefer was changing The Bat's cage, the little vampire flew out and landed on Richard’s head. He whisked it off. The mad chase began. The bat was finally trapped. He died soon after, probably of overexertion. Students who had an interest in biology, as well as in bats, gave time to help biology teachers with lab preparations. BIOLOGY LAB ASSISTANT Senior LaRayne Roman analyze the element of en experiment. Her partner, Senior Katie Catey, studies a slide he ha made, prepared from the solution, and wonder ju� t exactly what tho� e little-green spot are. HELPERS Senior Kri Wilton and Senior Sandy Poison roll equipment to Mr. Larson's students, who ere about to indulge in a microscopic experiment—which just may end in disaster. ATTENTIVELY, Seniors Richard Stuefer and Julie Leslie transfer a homemade solution (actually, coffee) over the sink where wet dishes wait to be dried. TAXIDERMISTS? No, they are only biology lab assistants Richard Huskey, Allen Kuperman, and Alexa Thornton replacing their pets after a thorough cleaning of the crowded labroom. Test Tubes, Beakers, Bunsen Burners, Solutions Submerge Lab Assistants Chemistry lab assistants mixed solutions (very carefully, for it can be a dangerous business), pre-tested experiments (again, with caution), and corrected papers, corrected papers, and corrected papers. Due to the precision and accuracy with which the lab assistants measured chemicals, the chemistry department did not have a blow-up. When they volunteered to work in cooperation with chemistry teachers, the lab assistants knew their jobs would involve many tasks, including routine and menial duties, but the excitement of working with explosives was too great to resist. Most of them are good science students. The important thing is that they prepare the lab. There wouldn't be any chemistry lab v ithout them, commented Mr. Yang, chemistry teacher.

We use our talents working and struggling to reach the high goals we have set for ourselves of precision, beauty, and quality. We come to school early, stay after late, rehearse, practice and sweat, to give of ourselves only the best. As we watch our friends and peers perform, we feel an inexplicable pride and wonderment in what our bodies, minds and hands are capable of doing. Robbins-dale gives the world the future Radio City Rockettes, Truman Capotes, Richard Burtons, and Julie Christies. The world of entertainment holds a certain appeal to us. We become involved. Select Band, Flag Twirlers Rate ‘A’ with Robbinsdale Tweet! went the whistle. BoomBocm-Boom, went the d r u m. Robbinsdale Flag Twirlers Darla Bedbury, Margaret En-gen, Jan Ingman, Merrilyn Lindquist, Debbie Moen, and Jeanette Rosslund marched down the field twirling their flags in unison. They practiced routines after school to prepare to perform at football games. Advised by Mr. Roger Thompson, those girls were affiliated with RHS marching band. They will participate in a national marching contest in Dallas, Texas, this summer, along with select and concert bands. Juniors and seniors who had excelled all through the school year in band and who had passed two auditions were chosen as the 74 members who comprised Select Band. The band played at con-- certs, auditoriums and participated in contests. They combined with other band members to play at basketball games, and to form the marching band, which played at football games. Select band won trophies at the district and state contests. They received a superior performance rating at the state contest for the third consecutive year. President Richard Skoglund headed Select Band. 84 ...

The bass fiddles boomed out a beat. The cellos rang out with their mellow tones. The 1967-68 Robbinsdale High School Orchestra was about to begin one of its concerts. The fifty-two musicians were directed by Mr. James Berg. Expanding their interests this year they played everything from light pop to classical. A newly founded orchestra treasury was supplemented by a performance at the Pick-Nicollet Hotel and the annual dual concert with Cooper. Their special attraction this season was being host to one of the foremost violinists in the world, Andre Granat. The violinist was winner of the Brussels Violin Competition and is assistant concertmaster of the Cleveland Symphony. He appeared with RHS' Orchestra in its May 2 concert. A special opportunity for orchestra members was to play for the musical. BEETHOVEN'S VIOIIN CONCERTO fills the orchestra room as violinists Jill Sandstrom and Susan Swanson rehear o.

The Sound of Music brightened the RHS auditorium as Glee Club, B-Choir, Sophomore Choir, and Select Choir practiced from Sunrise, Sunset for their concerts. With the Money they earned selling candy, the members caught the Last Train to Clarksville to give their Spring Concert to other schools in the Minnesota area. Keeping the tradition alive. Select Choir caroled to Robbinsdale students. Also at Christmas time, twenty-four Angels from the Realms of Glory sang for patients at University Hospital. In the twentieth year of RHS' entertaining the patients, choir members went on a Sentimental Journey with the alumni who came back to sing with the RHS carolers.

In their original routines they combined beauty and grace while dancing to contemporary music such as Georgy Girl, and 'Thoroughly Modern Millie. Displaying these skills they took second place in an allcity danceline contest sponsored by a downtown department store. Each girl gave up many hours to practice during the summer and in the mornings before school. On the Fridays that they danced, the Robinaires wore special outfits-gold jumpers with blue monogrammed sweaters—which added to the color of game days and identified the dancers.

Working strenuously for two hours a week in the winter and at least four hours a week in the spring, these girls prepared themselves for their annual spring swim show. Continental Cruise was the theme of this 1968 show where the blue-clad Aqua Robins displayed their graceful synchronized skills. The show included Hawaiian babes, French can-can girls, a comedy featuring Polacks, a gymnast and a folk singing group. Pinching their pennies, the girls saved for underwater speakers and more music. The group is comprised of students from both Robbinsdale and Cooper. Girls with outstanding swimming ability competed in special meets. AQUA ROBINS: Front tow: J. Johnson. P. Malone, V. Anderson, N.

Each of the students was assigned a coach. Mrs. Sandra Albert, one of these teachers, said, This is the first time I've been a coach, but I'm enjoying myself. Student personality is involved; students become people just as teachers become people. After thorough preparation, students participated in contests ranging from school to state. Local winners were awarded pins by RHS, and medals were awarded by Minnesota State High League. TO MAKE THE REAL MEANING come through, you have to make sure the phrasing it right. Now thit spot ...

IF ANYONE among them saw a wolf, he was immediately to jump on to a rock or a high mound, and shout 'Wolfl Wolf!' AND FOLLOWING THE WOLF, camo all the pack, running and leaping. They ate up as many as they wanted ... Imitating the wolves' expression of hunger, Kris gestures ferociously. WOLF! WOLFI WOLF! sounded after them, in a perfect shriek of terror. Kris finishes with tho moral that, if folks cry 'Wolf' for shadows, nobody will hurry when a real wolf comes along. 92 Thespians Present “Green Room” To Robbinsdale’s Four Directors The audience: old and new Thespians. The action: two of the advisors, Mr. Frank Plut and Miss Winnifred Larson performing a scene from Thurber's Carnival. The occasion: Thespian Induction Ceremony. The set: the new Green Room, where busy Thespians, between frequent rehearsals, had spent much time converting this backstage area into a very colorful and clean place. Besides playing part-time painters, Thespians seemed to always be busy—from fall to spring—on the stage or behind it. The eighteen new members of this dramatic honor society, had earned at least fifteen acting points or twenty-five technical points.

It grew and grew until the whole school was on fire with pride, feeling, and support. We cheered our teams on to victory. Proudly we stood up to be counted. We were envied. The fingly feeling that went through our bodies when we heard the school song: we knew we had something great. Our teachers praised us. They felt it, too. The pulse beat fast and strong. We were vibrantly alive and excited. We smiled and laughed and sometimes cried. It was worth if. We gave of our time and ourselves to deserve this feeling. We were apart y e t come together as one, to be involved. Yelling and Selling Spark Pep Club’s ‘Action Year’ It was action year for 1967-68 Pep Club.

A visit from seven foreign exchange students from other Lake Conference students climaxed RHS' new excitement-charged AFS Week. Using the point system, establishing an executive board, and raising $2250 were also firsts for AFS. To raise this amount, the club also depended upon Slave Day, a few donations. Penny Wednesday, and coat check to push them nearer their goal. Robbinsdale's AFS students Bjorn Wejk-ner, Dominique Aguignier, and Angeline Iturriza, plus AFS students from other schools, spoke of life in their native lands at club meetings. AFS' cabinet occasionally met with other AFS officers from the Lake Conference. Patrice Anderson and Roberta Lensink were chosen as Robbinsdale AFS students to be sent as exchange students to foreign lands.

The largest group of girls at RHS sold everything from carnations to cookies to calendars. With the funds thus earned, they served their community and strove to live up to their goal—stressing human relations. At the height of their social year, each chapter had a joint with a Hi-Y group and had many interesting speakers, including those on judo, handwriting analysis, cosmetology, and fortune telling. Their enrollment at 650 topped all other years. The orphan girl that Y-Teens had supported for so many years finally grew up. Now that she is able to support herself, they have discontinued sponsoring her. ALL-SCHOOL Y-TEENS officer are Front row.- Sheri Young, leanne lerton. Cary McClellan.

Personal enrichment and accomplishment, pleasure and enjoyment, leadership and friendship—all are by-products received by those of us who joined clubs which foster special interests. We learned that we must give to get anything in return. We enlarged our minds and satisfied our craving for a good time . All of us had our extracurricular interests, whether they were languages, journalism, chess, or otherwise. We took advantage of the opportunities that our school offers. We knew each of us became important; we made up a part of Robbinsdale High School. We helped to make our school what it is, and what it will be remembered as. Journalistic Students Earn Quill and Scroll Award Quill and Scroll is an international honor society for students who have done outstanding v ork in some field of journalism. These students must have been in the upper third of their class and also must have been recommended by their advisor or principal. They were installed at a candlelight ceremony at the district publications banquet, in the spring. This year Robbinsdale's members were Debbie Olsen, editor-in-chief of the Robin, Marc Dorenfeld, editor-in-chief of the Tale, Jan Erickson, feature editor of the Tale and Marilee Grygelko, editorial editor of the Tale. These four sponsored the Lake Conference Journalism Conference in February. Their sponsors are Mrs. Olson, advisor of the Robin, and Miss Mona, advisor of the Tale. MR.

This cheery tune composed and sung by Senior Bruce Doepke started NHS's Induction Banquet off to a musical start. Guest speaker Mrs. Grace Miesbauer injected a note of seriousness and thought for the future. Students from all fields were represented-drama, sports, journalism, science, music. A cross-section of Robbins-dales' best made up one of the largest chapters in the state with 177 members. Newly-inducted members were immediately set to work selling candy. Springtime brought a picnic for all members, and April 6-10 were the magic days of the New York-Washington plane trip for 50 NHS members. Riots in Washington prevented students from touring the city.

French Club Works To Achieve Motto.- ‘Vive Le Cercle Francois’ Vive le Cercle Frangais! Translation: Long live French club! Efforts were made this year to rejuvenate French club. To make this motto come true, initiation featured new members rolling grapes with their noses, bobbing for apples, designing a fashion of newspaper, and running the obstacle course. French AFS student Dominique Aguiginier spoke of teenage life in France compared to that in America at a potluck supper held in her honor. For the first time, Russian club members infiltrated the annual French-Spanish Christmas party. The year's climax was reached at the club's banquet held at Chateau de Paris.

Robin Matador ‘Spears’ Second Place With Float Spanish Club's Robin Matador speared a bear and also speared second place in Robbinsdale's Homecoming float competition. Success continued for Spanish club as its car wash yielded fifty-five dollars, and numerous raffle tickets were sold on a pink stuffed elephant named Elfie. Culture of the Latin American countries became real for Spanish club as foreign exchange students Bob Anderson and Beth Hoffman spoke at a mass meeting held with German, Spanish, French, and Russian clubs. A dinner with two other Lake Conference schools was planned in the spring, but failed to materialize. TO SET THE MOOD for Spanish dub' Activities, Advisor and teacher Ml Caro!

In fact, they contributed a good share to Home-coming activities, opening up all the festivities with their traditional German pepfest and folk dancing. Being the largest language club in school, they had really elaborate campaigns for their club officers. Throughout the school the walls were plastered with signs stating such slogans as DDV Braucht Bill Meyer! or just Wahlt Tom Egan. DDV members on a cold morning before Christmas made their way to the annual German Breakfast and program that included an enactment of the Nativity and an explanation of Hanukkah. It ended as members sang Auf Wiedersehen. 104 Latin, Russian Clubs Scrutinize Glory of Rome; Revolt of 1917 Kooks wearing sheets roamed the halls at RHS this fall, much to the bewilderment of the student body. They were harmless, however, being initiates of Latin club. An Initiation party, Saturnalia Banquet, and auction of slaves (sale of first-year Latin students to second-year students) were included in the club's activities. President Joseph Grcar, Vice President Karen Pederson, Treasurer Peggy K r i e s e r, and Secretary Sandra Dombroske were the club's officers. Mr. Kremer was the advisor. The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming . They have arrived at Rob-binsdale, and have a club to prove it. After starting off their social season with a get-acquainted party, members of the club later attended cultural activities associated with Russia. President Howard Gerfz headed t h e group. The organization, advised by Mr. Kremer, was described like this by a member: It's smaller than most clubs, but we make up for our lack of members by our wholehearted participation and enthusiasm.

As the year progressed students participating in the discussions had the opportunities to air their opinions on such topics a$: Should Johnson run in '68?, or What should the U.S. do about the War in Vietnam? Ghabel Abdulraman, an Egyptian student, spoke to the club in the early fall on the controversial Arab-Israeli War.

The 19-member team won a bare two-thirds of the meets entered. Mr. Blore was good at cheering us up, though! remarked a debater. Ten mem-bers achieved membership in the National Forensic League through competition this season. Debaters also entered the American Legion Oratory Contest where Marc Dorenfeld placed first for the third year.

A King was attacked by a pawn and Chess Club found itself battling, not a medieval war on the battlefield, but another kind of maneuver. Twenty men strong. Chess Club competed against their Northwestern Division of the Twin City High School League and won first place. A special award went to Junior Bill Cashin who won top honors in his age division at the St. Paul Winter Carnival Tournament. Mondays were reserved for the team's practices, and hard two-hour workouts as well as patience, went into perfecting this delicate game. Tuesdays were the days for the real events.

Are there any questions about the pigskin? With this opening question, guest speaker Mr. Irv Nerdahl, Robbinsdale's football coach, gave girl gridders of GAA a few pointers. The girls not only played football, but participated in many other sports including archery, volleyball, tennis, bowling, skiing, badminton, basketball and track. Because of increased emphasis on gymnastics this year, a regular team was formed. Advisors Mrs. Dorothy Jacobson and Miss Jacqueline Christensen and GAA sponsored a wiener roast for prospective members. Later, they celebrated winter with a Ski-Day.

To us Robbinsdale is only the beginning. Leaving it behind, we become involved in that enticing world of adults, business, labor, and management. We grow up. We set out as new persons, directed and resolved. The future is tangible as we learn about business. Journalism, music, office skills, nursing. It's a wide world, and opportunities are many. Robbinsdale becomes the provider. Feeling our way, we gain experience for that special day when we get a job to call our own. As we leave RHS behind we know that if gave us the very best opportunities and education. Future Nurses Stuff Toys To Delight Small Patients The future Florence Nightingales o f Robbinsdale High School form the Nurses' Club. This organization, based on a common ambition, helped these girls to further their interests in nursing. Starting already to take pride in their career, the girls made stuffed animals which they brought to children at a local Robbinsdale hospital. Under the advisement of the Robin's school nurse, Mrs. Dorothy Flosseth, the club had a registered nurse as a speaker at one of its meetings and raised its funds by selling mints to cover all their costs. Members of the club were awarded pins in the spring of the year for service. MEMBERS of Nonet' Clob heed for the snacks. NURSES' CLUB MEMBERS: From row: B. Sieverf, I. Armstrong, M. Munson. J.

PREPARING TO BE a future teacher, John Hanson learns skills from Mr. Julio!. GOOD QUALIFICATIONS for the Future Teacher is the topic on which Mr. James Andress, District 281 director of personnel, speaks at an FTA meeting. After suffering through dull lectures, loads of homework, and teachers who just don't understand, some Robbinsdale students STILL wanted to go into the teaching profession. FTA members had many programs concerning this interest, including one by foreign exchange students, who talked on their countrys' educational systems. Social events of the year for the future teachers included a teachers' tea, a spring banquet, and a hayride. They also sent their senior officers to a state convention in St. Cloud. Ill Lucky DE, OE Students Change Knowledge and Skills Into Cash You mean you get paid for the half day you're not in school? Yes, but my boss grades me, too! Distributive ed students spent the first half of the day in school, and the second on a job. It's true the money is nice but the important thing was gaining the practical experience, they said. These 25 students worked in almost every type of store, including department, grocery, hardware, specialty stores, advertising and related business. From medical offices to insurance companies, Office Education students worked for half the school day. In a program similar to that of Distributive Education, they received training in business skills and occupational information. The student's job provided opportunities to practice skills, and acquire new ones. A set-up like this gives a student a chance to see what keeps an office in business, said an employer who participated in the program. 112 OFFICE EDUCATION MEMBERS are Front row: T. Krickle, B.

Focus Sells Students' Talents As Writers, Musicians, Artists Essays on controversial or current issues, snappy short stories, poetic ballads, realistic free verse, art sketches, cartoons, photographs, and even original musical compositions were solicited by Focus staff members from students throughout the year. The most worthwhile material submitted was published in Focus, Robbins-dale's literary magazine. Focus editors, selected from Miss Phyllis lindstrom's creative writing class, frantically rushed to meet their February deadline. The magazine was sold by the retail sales classes. Focus editors could again boast that the magazine was self-supporting and displayed student's creative accomplishments. DEEP in critical thought Senior Mary Bydlon concentrates on examples that sho will use in her own writing. THE ATTENTION of Creative Writing students is held by Senior Pat Fine, who reads to them portions of his original play. FOCUS STAFF are front row: P. Fine, L Strandbcrg, D. Erickson, M. Malone, C.

It's due today! Don't worry—it'll be done! Putting out a paper can be a hectic business. There must be interesting stories the right size to fit the layout, written in time to be checked, re-checked, and sent to the printer. This year's Tale went out on a limb by including a biting editorial on teacher's strikes, promoting a walk-away across Highway 100 and taking a stand on other controversial issues. The All-American Tale was advised by Miss Judy Mona. Editor-in-chief Marc Dorenfeld was assisted by a staff of about twenty. The Tale staff attended the Minnesota High School Press Association convention where the Tale won several awards. Most of the staff also attended the annual National School Press Association in Chicago over Thanksgiving. HERE, there, everywhere. EDITORS Jan Erickson, Paul Forjcborg, Marilcc Grygelko, Sendee Johnson, Mare Dorenfeld, Candy Anderson, gather around unusual story subject, Maureen Malone.

ALWAYS SITTING on the edge of their seats are staffers Carol Ironside, Kay Gilbertson, Barb Elfstrom, Ann Mavis, and Nora Sawicki. Behind them is their home away from home —the annual room. FOR ONCE NEITHER YELLING nor eating, tho fourth hour staffers are at work in the congested annual room. Standing are Sarah Ncslund, Judy Hollander and seated are Gretchen Gustafson, Margie Schwab, Carol Ironside, Sail! Fefercorn, and Ginny Jones.

Look out-you almost ruined that triplicate! Don't spill Coke on these pictures! THINK! It's eleven p.m. Can we leave? What happened to that ruler? Who knows the kid in the third row of this picture? Where's that copy? While the moon shone through the window of the new, smaller, annual room, the staff slaved to finish on time. Despite crowded conditions and mental blocks, the 29-member staff strove to show this year's theme of involvement through clustered captions, mosaic layouts, unusual photography, and a fresh approach to copy. Guided and assisted by advisor Mrs. Helen Olson, the staff managed, between snacks, to meet the exacting demands of editor-in-chief Debbie Olsen. EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Debbie Olsen shows sophomore staffer Roth Johnson, Nancy Wcinacht, Doug Behrens, Karen Shot , and Becky West how to proportion a picture. ROBIN SECTION EDITORS: Nora Sawicki (Underclass), Carol Ironside (Activities). Marge Schwab (Organizations), Debbie Olsen (Editor-inChief), Toni Brandmill (Copy).

And yet, at Robbinsdale, there are probably no two students with the same schedule because of the large variety of subjects offered. Making this possible means a large staff who work very hard planning, teaching, and learning in order to give their classes the education they need in the modern world. Often, instructing goes beyond the classroom and teachers sacrifice evenings, week-ends, and vacations to supervise extra-curricular activities. Each staff member must stimulate students to become involved in the search for knowledge and wisdom. 119 Administrators Urge Third Senior High School To Eliminate Over-Crowded Conditions at RHS New schools, an earth-space center, money problems, and school policy are some of the matters the school board considered this year. A third high school, to be located on Adair Avenue, was proposed to ease crowded conditions at RHS. These tasks fell especially on Dr. Hood, superintendent, and Mr. Boynton, assistant superintendent. The other main governing factor at RHS was the administration, made up of Mr. Mielke, Mr. Thiede, and Mr. Ferrell. Besides deciding on school affairs and disciplining students, they took an active interest in the student activities and organizations throughout the year. 120 EXPRESSING IDEAS for 'ho new high school is Mr. Willis Boynton, assistant superintendent. SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS in District 281, Dr. Leroy Hoed, shows pride in Plymouth Junior High School, now under construction. IN HIS USUAL PLACE after school, Mr. John Thlcdc, assistant principal, explains a school policy to a student. ALONG WITH HIS CHATS with the present students at RHS, Mr. Robert Ferrell, assistant principal, enjoys a jovial visit with an alumna of Robbinsdale. PENSIVELY GAZING out of the window of his office, is principal Milo Mielko thinking of his pest years at RHS. MEMBERS OF SCHOOL BOARD inspect the model of the planned Earth-Space Science Center in New Hope. They arc Mr. Gary DeFrence, Mr. John Holmgren, A r.

ALWAYS EAGER To help the students, the Three librarians, Mrs. Georgas, Mrs. O'Reilly, and A rs. Sherman, offer their suggestion whenever needed. BUT I'M NOT REALLY nearsighted! pleads Senior laRaync Roman to Mrs. Dorothy Flosseth, the school nurse. ROBBINSDALE'S COUNSELING STAFF meets to discuss such areas as students academic problems and vocations. They are Miss Swanie Aalgaard Miss Kalma ALikkclson, Mrs. Marilyn Scholl, Mrs. Mary Ondov, Mr. Kenneth Gorsky, Mr. Donald Hanson, and Mr. Joe Dragsetb. READY FOR THE WORST Senior Marilcc Grygolko accepts a copy of the Kudcr test from counselor ALr. Hanson. THE SPECIAL EDUCATION STAFF consisting of A r. Foloy (psychologist), Mrs. Doherty (special education), ALr. Hogenson (vocational adjustment coordinator), ond Mr. Neely (social worker), leave for other schools in the district after spending part of the day at RHS. A RS. SCHOLL LISTENS sympathetically to Senior Barb Netiinger's college problems. Specialized Staff Helps Students To Face Problems of School Life MSAT and Iowa tests, troubled students, college decisions, and schedule changes took up much of the time of RHS's counselors. The skilled staff of seven guided numerous students to important decisions. One phase of school the average student never thought about was RHS's specialized staff, including Mr. Neely, Mrs. Garey, Mr. Foley, and Mrs. Doherty. Their jobs were to help students individually and in personal ways. In the course of the year, nearly every student was affected in some way by the specialized staff. Traditionally libraries are places of hush, hush. At RHS, however, the library is a place of students discussing research, librarians giving lectures, and, of course, girls getting together to catch up on the latest gossip around school. Despite the buzz of voices, the library does provide an atmosphere conducive to study. Who hasn't been to the nurse at one time or another? Everyone knows Mrs. Flosseth, who bound wounds and freely gave out sympathy. However, no matter how desperately students wailed and begged, she never gave out an aspirin! 123 Versatile Art Students Compete for Recognition; Business Ed. Strives to Develop Young Tycoons From pencil to charcoal to brush to ink to oils and to clay: this was the route followed by many RHS art students. Introduction to Art was the first stop on the road. The next pause was Commercial Arts I or Fine Arts I. The final destination for talented students was Commercial Arts II or Fine Arts II, which allowed students to perfect their techniques. Preparation for life in the business world preoccupied Business Education students this year. Would-be secretaries put typing, stenography, bookkeeping, and recordkeeping to good use, and this year as usual, outsiders found themselves engulfed by eager Homecoming button salesmen from the retail sales class. 124 THREE HOURS OF SCHOOL arc exchanged for practical experience in learning by Distributive Education seniors, Roger Greenly, Kathy Nolan, and Nick Dcnnij. WITH CHEERY SMILES businos education teacher respond to a bright sunny day. They are Mi� � Kathleen Bergman (Stenography, Typing), Mr .

Mr. Osferkamp looks over the shoulders of Sophs Wayne Eckberg, Moron Bohncnstingel, Nora Bacon, and Eric De Tuncq at they receive their new books. 126 Government Grant and First Research Papers Provide New Experience for Sophs and Juniors At last Sophomores are envied! A new reading unit began with a relaxing week of humanities films in the auditorium. The next seven weeks were spent in lecture, reading, and discussions. Sophomores also encountered research papers. After weeks of putting it off, they burned the midnight oil and pounded hot typewriter keys to bring these first research papers to a successful conclusion. Was John Brown a fanatic or a hero? A heated debate went on in Junior English classes after seeing 'Harper's Ferry' at the Guthrie, made possible by a government grant. 'Hamlet' also played a large role in the course, as part of tragic structure, a new curriculum. But the traditional American literature was also taught, including authors from the early romanticists to contemporary writers. 127 YECCH! Senior English teachers gather around to touch and shudder at Mr. Young' creepy crawlers. Teachers standing are Mr. Zimmerman, Miss tarson. Miss Lindstrom, Miss Reid, Mrs. Dahlberg, and Mr. Young. Sitting is Mr . Toftc. A SURPRISE shotf story ending doesn't just happen as Senior Jamey Jacobson knows. Miss Lindstrom, the creative writing teacher, points out a possibility as Jamey labors over her work. IT'S GOING TO BE one of those days! says Mrs. Dahlberg as she surveys tho results of incorrectly threading the film projector. However, this is only the beginning of her troubles. She contemplates the tedious task of rewinding all the film by hand. TEACHERS ARE PEOPLE, too! Sophomore Brian Hajdcr discovers this amazing fact as he interviews journalism instructor Miss Mona for a das assignment. He finds Miss Mona give him a perfect interview. THE KING come here tonight. Senior Jan Pearson dramatizes a scene from Shakespeare's Macbeth in which lady Macbeth welcomes King Duncan to Inverness. Macbeth's castle. 128 Students Seek Reality of Society Through Literature and Writing Flappers—out, Hippies—in! Hamlet—out, Macbeth—in! Alfred Lord Tennyson-out, Dylan Thomas—in! Senior English reflected the feelings of the changing times. Study topics varied from the earliest German epic to modern protest groups in America. Seniors also had their first real experience in evaluating and criticizing their own writing in themes. While seniors felt they were unfairly burdened with too many themes, teachers knew that many would be thankful for this preparation in writing next year in college. But students were not the only ones who learned; English teachers went to school, too, participating in workshops and in-service training sessions on transformational grammar and keeping up on latest teaching methods. The teachers found out what it was like to be a student and to struggle with hours of homework. Feverishly looking for news tips at the end of the week was an assignment of the journalism class. They were able to to go on field trips and get behind-the-scenes information from the Minneapolis Star and WCCO televison station. All this experience and talent were put to good use as many journalism students participated in production of the Robin's Tale. In addition to this, students went to elementary schools in the district to find stories for the school page of the North Hennepin Post. Creative writing class brought out the rebel in students as they learned to question their society through writing. Besides studying various writing techniques, the future authors tried their hand at short stories, essays, and poems. They then contributed many of their better works to Focus. 129 Girls Cook Dinners, Stitch Way Into Best-Dressed List of RHS FOR All THE HARD WORK waking a taste is • just reward for such dedicated cooks as these. Cheryl Nordahl and Robin DeYong are caught in the act as they slice ice cream. HOME EC. 1$ THE ONLY PIACE in school where it is legitimate to have a birthday party. Cooking class took advantage of this with Miss Hughes as the center of attention. MRS. DEWOIFE, Mrs. MacCullum. and Miss Hughes take a breather between classes before returning to a normally hectic day of turning high school girls Into experienced homemakers. DURING ONE OF THE PANEl DISCUSSIONS. Seniors Bob Frye and Bruce Doepke, as confirmed experts on the topics of dating and girls. explained some of the finer points to attentive Seniors Barb Gray and Wondie Moore. JUNIOR IINDA FOSS finds that fitting pattern pieces on fabric can be as hard as a jigsaw puzzle. A SEWING ClASS at Robbinsdale resembles a factory production line as girls busily stitch away. Although they may not be rushed off into the arms of a demanding public, these garments arc worn with pride by their creators. 'The spaghetti is burning! was one of the frenzied cries of harassed Home Economics students. They progressed from preparing a quick breakfast of cinnamon rolls to the traditional lunch of soup and sandwiches, and concluded the semester with a chicken dinner. Those who survived the year without too many cooking burns, found themselves in Home Ec. Ill preparing exotic foreign dinners, where not only the taste of the food was emphasized, but also the table setting. Second semester sewing turned the class into a modern day ladies' aid group. Sewing a seam and ripping it out countless times was one of the many frustrations of the class. Contrasting the usual feminine opinions on marriage and dating discussed in the Home Ec. Ill class, informal discussions presented the male point of view as boys expressed their opinions on such topics as pre-maritial sex and teenage marriages. Child care and development study followed this, including a day of entertaining pre-school children in the classroom. Each day four girls were put in charge of ten four-year-olds to supervise and plan activities. 130 SAILBOATS made by the woodworking clast, such as the one Junior Roger John is working on in the janitor's room, arc only one of the many practical things the shop classes make. IN ANTICIPATION of the day he can own and fix his own car, Senior Mark Miller works on one In the auto shop class. IT WAS AN ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE for both sexes when Seniors .Marilyn Howland and Vicki Gragert and Junior Cindy Anderson enrolled in Mr. Raethcr's architectural drawing class. A PIECE of sandpaper and a lot of elbow grease go a long way as Senior Bob Larson and Senior Wayne Archer sand the rust and paint from the fender of a car. DURING a restful break from the noise of the shop classes, Mr. Ritchie tells about the latt ski meet to shop teachers Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Marsh, Mr. Nardinl, Mr. Clark, and Mr. Raethcr. SENIOR JOHN HALLMAN finds that dissecting a car wheol is much different from dissecting a frog in biology. Girls Invade wth Prevail with Skipping school was included in an elective shop course this year. Twenty-four graphic art students were excused during fifth hour to be bussed to Cooper High School where they became involved in the new modular scheduling. Girls are just as good as boys, at least in their drafting ability, said Mr. Raether who also taught Machine Drawing. A female invasion of fourteen girls was welcomed by a predominately male Architectural Drawing class. However, the boys felt stiff competition from the girls whose feminine preciseness proved quite helpful in the course. Planes, Plans; Wheels, Sails Despite the lure of the girls in Architectural Drawing, courses such as Woodworking, Electricity, and General Metals still proved to be the most popular classes. Axle-greased hands were evidence of a hard-working auto shop student. Weeks of work produced surprising results as a junked car changed into something any guy could be proud of. Many mothers were pleasantly surprised with gifts of lamps or end tables. Although much practical knowledge will be applied in future years, shop courses were meant to be exploratory, and not vocational. TONIGHT 8=00 THE HOUSE OF Fine Arts Study Interprets Man In Music, Acting and Speaking Fine arts flourished at tfobbinsdale this year. If one happened to peek into a speech class, he was likely to be confronted with all sorts of strange things. Pantomimes, sales speeches, and storytelling were all a part of being in a speech class. Drama students get some practice in story-telling, too. They also experimented with theatrical make-up, and before the children's play was ready, they spent several class hours painting scenery. Humanities was quite different from either speech or drama. In this class students discovered the arts and their relation to man, besides delving into such abstract topics as justice and love. Two creative projects were done by students on the topics of beauty and modern man. The projects included dances and plays. Stale chocolate bars almost sabotaged the band's money-making project this year. But fresh chocolate came to the rescue and the band made enough to buy uniforms desperately needed for the Dallas Band Contest. In between rehearsals and candy sales, Mr. Thompson planned a music theory course which he will teach next year. An exchange choir concert with two Wisconsin high schools provided the performers with a chance to sing for an audience of someone other than their own friends. An invitation to perform with the RHS orchestra for the State Board of Education gave them a similar opportunity. Governor LeVander was in the audience, and the musicians received a standing ovation from the crowd at the conclusion of their performance. 134 1.1 � • RHS HUMANITIES student were among the crowd at the Guthrio Theater who anxiously awaited the arrival of Mrs. lady Bird Johnson.

Worle (Spanish), Mis Sandstrom (Spanish), Mrs. Miesbauor (German), and Mr. Kremcr (Latin, Russian). STUDENTS EAGERLY FOLLOW the rapid Spanish of Miss Sandstrom's lectures on Spanish culture. PROBLEMS IN TEACHING are discussed by Mr. McCarthy (German) and Mis Andorson (French). 136 Starting Students Ruin Russian, Fracture French, Garble German Guten Morgen. Wie geht's? Bewildered students made up most of the foreign language classes this year. Teachers seemed to babble away in some foreign tongue while students wondered if they would ever catch on. It seemed unbelievable that these students who stumbled through verb tenses, pronouns, and grammar could walk out of class the last day of school, speaking as though they were natives of the foreign country. But they did, thanks to experienced teachers of the languages which included German, Spanish, French, Latin, and Russian. Many students hoped someday to be able to use their knowledge of the language by traveling through a foreign country. Students struggled with packed suitcases and weighted flight bags while anxious mothers shed tears for their Europe-bound sons and daughters. The plane flew out of sight and the foreign language students on board nervously awaited the landing. This began the exciting trip which foreign language students took last summer. Eager to learn about the countries, they toured the places of interest, such as the Eiffel Tower and the Rhine River, while studying the foreign language which they had taken in school. They stayed with families who lived in the countries, learning the cultures of the people. Many expressed the desire to someday return. Mathematics Students Wander Around in Circles Studying Parallelograms, Cubes, and Trapezoids Do not fold, bend, staple, or mutilate. This applied not only to RHS's computer but also to the many budding young mathematicians. The students achieved their proficiency through subjects such as general math, algebra, integrated math, geometry, higher algebra, and trigonometry. Some students took only the one required year of math, but many others continued on to more advanced math, in which a computer was used. RHS math teachers attempted to show each student the applications of math, not just a list of rules. This caused mathematics to become a more rewarding and interesting subject for everyone. To a student taking math, it was not just a frustrating experience of finger and toe counting. Many of this year's math teachers were also sports coaches. Mr. Nerdahl, Mr. Kacheroski, Mr. Moore, and Mr. Tabor helped put the football team into first place in the conference, while Mr. Fredin spurred on the wrestling squad and Mr. Savage coached the basketball team. MR. MOOSE GIEEFUUY CORRECTS Junior Steve Gonnella's tost, but Stove doesn't find it so funny. TWO MATH TEACHERS discussing an algebra problem? Maybo, but moco likely. Mr. Nerdohl is showing Mr. Savage a football play to bo used in Friday's game. EVEN GIANT PROTRACTORS can't help Senior Holgcr Theobald make up a trigonometry test. AFTER-SCHOOL HELP keeps many students upfo-dato in math. Mr. Kadicsky explains a problem to Seniors Kris Erickson and Signe Esposito, who appreciate the extra help. MANY DIFFERENT TEACHING TOOLS are used by RHS math teachers. Gathering to compare uses of the overhead are Mr. Petrovcich, Mr. Tabor, Mr. Hill, Miss Wilhelm, Mr. Frodin, and Mr. Oman. COMPUTERS POSE no problem for Senior Geoff 8uialskl, who sneaks In somo extra practice before class. EXPERIENCE IN STORAGE and retrieval of information is provided for Mr. Van loon's advanced math classes by the table top computer. 139 6.vu d7 | 48 I 49 • mu Cd In Sn THE PERIODICAL ELEMENTS CHART provides an appropriate background for the chemistry teachers, as Mr. Johnson and Mr. Yang watch Mr. Barton carefully examining a molecular model. ALTHOUGH THIS looks like Senior Peggy Kreiser coming in after school for a lesson on her new bicycle, it is really Mr. Hagemeister demonstrating to her how the bicycle wheel is used to show the principle of the gyroscope. PATIENTLY WAITING for the centigram balance scalo to come to its resting place. Junior Tom Fury and Junior Chris Gates colled data for working out a difficult problem in chemistry. Biology Students ‘Cut-up’ in Lab As Chemists Experiment Madly Jars, bottles, test tubes, and assorted other containers cluttered four of t h e rooms on third floor. The rooms were the chemistry and physics classes and t h e jars played a very important part of the experiments. As Mr. Johnson explained, the lab sessions this year leaned more toward practical discovery, such as natural forces and reactions of elements. Even though students studied for hours on end, science still proved to be a difficult subject for many. Some thought it was awful and some thought it was a challenge. But Mr. Barton, one of the teachers, thought it was just a lot of fun. After the fundamentals are mastered, chemistry isn't really as hard as everyone says. Enzymes, cells, and protoplasm opened the world of biology to RHS students. Contrary to popular belief, biology was not a lot of dissecting. There were a lot of basic things to learn like the nitrogen cycle, or the digestive system, and why the leaves fall off the trees in the fall. But biology was no place for squeamish stomachs as students dissected such things as worms, clams, grasshoppers, crayfish, and frogs, ending it all with a fetal pig. The dissections were performed in order to show the students the complexity of life forms. However, the high point of the year came with the day of blood typing. Every student happily gave a drop or two of blood for the cause of biology, even if it did hurt. GERMS AND BACTERIA seen under the microscope seem ro present « problem to Junior Wendy Ulrich who is helped by Mr. Lersen, biology teacher. Meanwhile, Sophomore Cheryl Priam prepares to gaze at her own slide to discover the wonders of the world of science. FOUR MAD SCIENTISTS stay after school to scrub the test tubes until they are sparkling. They are better known as Mr. Bauman, Mr. Hummel, Mr. Wrucke, and Mr. Thompson, who also serve as biology teachers. UNDER THE GENTLE persuasion of Junior Roxanne Murphey, biology teacher Mr. Anderson mixes a deadly potion for his potentially delinquent students. 141 Gym Classes Make Mini-Muscles Things of the Past for Robins So everyone thinks Wonder Bread is the only thing that builds strong bones twelve ways? That surely wasn't so at RHSI Not only did the physical education department at Robbinsdale build strong bones, but it also did wonders for muscles. Although the male students at RHS looked forward to this bone and muscle building, somehow many of the girls didn't relish the thought of blue shorts, white blouses, push-ups, sit-ups, and jumping jacks. One thing that the girls did enjoy was the coeducational classes of volleyball and dancing. Although the boys grumbled about having to learn to waltz, they were assured by Mr. Grygelko that dancing, too, would build up their muscles. t ... 2 ... i ... 2 ... counts Sophomore Jean Herder as she energetically participates in lumping jacks, a part of the physical fitness program. YEARS OF PRACTICE are clearly shown by Senior Candy Anderson as she is helped through a stunt on the balance beam by Mrs. Jacobson. MR. MERRY AND MR.

Sophomore Colleen Quinn and Miss Christenson check out the arrows they will use in target practice. READY TO HIT THE BIRDIE sky high, Mr. Grygelko shows his skill and alertness in a game of badminton, played at the faculty fun night. History Opens Sophomores' Eyes To the Heritage of Their Land Was Andrew Jackson really such a great hero? Was there a pattern of action among the Southern leaders of the Civil War? Old illusions were shattered and new opinions formed in American History. Extensively using the library, sophomores discovered traditions and ideals of America as a colony and as a country. A cross-section of the class involved in Project Social Studies did such things as investigating minority groups and re-enacting the Civil War, the Yankees at one end of the room and the Confederates at the other. Some students even tried to change the outcome! COFFEE BRACES American History teacher Mr. Boone and Mr. Christenson for a hectic day of classroom and frustrations. IMPORTANT POINTS made by Mr. Walker require much thoughtful contemplation by Sophomore Malt Bowers. Mr. Walker uses the overhead projector to illustrate his discussion. A SKIT concerning early America, put on by Sophomores Anne Clark and Dale Arntson, portrays the situation of early pioneers. FRIENDLY teecher-to-teacher talks often take place between classes. Meeting together in the hall after homeroom are Mr. Ege, Mr. Huisken, and Mrs. Ennen. sophomore social teachers. 143 World History, Social Problems Stress Understanding of World April 15 should not be a day to dread for Seniors who learned how to file income tax forms in Senior Social Studies. Other Seniors watched the stock market and learned how to invest wisely. The study of sociology included a driver's ability test, a unit on mental health, while American Government classes discussed basic rights. No, if wasn't the Terrace Theater. It was a RHS Project Social Studies class. A film of Doctor Zhivago was used in the study of the Soviet Union. Divided into four parts, the junior area studies dealt with not only history, but effects of it on the world today. Students did much individual researching besides in-depth class discussions on varied topics. AFRICA, it people and customs, is explained to Junior Ken Kirchoff and Kri Goar by Mits Searls. who brought the souvenirs back after living in Africa for jome time. A DIFFICULT TASK of putting together pieces of pottery is attempted by Junior Randy Burg and Miss Vogland. WHILE STUDENTS clean out their locker the World History teachers Mr. Zwach, Mrs. Murphy, Mr, Restitution, and Mrs. Adams straighten out a desk. 144 MR.

Mr. Ferrell will replace Mr. Miclkc, who resigned at the end of this year, marking thirty-nine ycart at an educator In Robbinsdale schools. SENIOR SOCIAL teachers Mr. Hoffc, Mr. Andervon, and Mr. Kachcroski meet together to glance over student reading material used in the study of government. “BUT MR. BLORE, this is economics ' plead Seniors Gary Anderson, Jan Beckcy, and Becky DoJerlait. They use a monopoly game to practice what they have learned in class. A FROWN and a feeling of despair come over Mr. Alden as Senior Rick Ireland futilely searches on a minutely detailed map for a small village in India. 145 Tense World Series Provides Welcome Relief For Robbinsdale's Day and Night Custodial Staff Did RHS students ever notice how dean the floors were, how spotless the desktops were, or that the light bulbs were always replaced on time? A special thanks belongs to the day and night custodians, who kept the school in shape all year long. Armed with brooms and mops they set out to do their duty each day. But work was not the only thing in the custodians' life. There were always the bull sessions in the custodians' room and the tense moments listening to the World Series. TAKING TIME OUT from a busy schedule are the day custodian , laVanno Mcior, Tom Johnson, Harold latvaaho. Ray Eaton, Earl Hahcn, Paul Holmes, Harvey Stuhr, and Wally Ostman.

They were confronted with student questions ranging from Could I have a pass to go to the dentist tomorrow? to Who is the captain of the girl's volleyball team? The Guidance Secretary's job was to assist students in getting appointments to see their counselors. Also they posted current job opportunities on the bulletin board. The hardest job they had to cope with was handling the hundreds of sophomores and juniors registering for next year's classes. October 11, 1967, RHS made the big switch from paper straws to plastic onesl To celebrate the occasion the cooks prepared a lunch of fish sticks, parsley buttered potatoes, mixed vegetables, peanut butter sandwiches, and jello whip. The cooks, facing an extra hard job this year of preparing and serving lunch to 400 more students, kept lunch lines moving quickly and the food constantly ready to be served. Also, RHS wasn't exempt from the inflationary period the country was experiencing. Students found themselves paying five cents more for a lunch. OCCUPIED WITH THE NEEDS of rho students and counselor arc the guidance secretaries Miss Anderson and Mrs. Seminar. WELCOMED WITH A SMI16-students are helped by the office secretaries, Mrs. Jewett, Mrs. Hornstoin, Mrs. Olson, and Mrs. Widstrom. TO CELEBRATE National School Lunch Week the cooks prepared five extra special lunches.

We study in class and also at home, sometimes far into the night. We make friends within the school, perhaps only by seeing the same faces in the hall daily, that may last far beyond our days as students. Besides knowledge and friendship, we gain pride in ourselves, our classmates, our school, and our city. We show by voice and action that we are proud to be aware, concerned, involved. 149 D.

Class President Dennis Riley, along with class officers and cabinet, worked to unite the varied class. From an eight-week developmental reading program, new this year, to the thrill of Homecoming, sophomores found a vast storage of activities awaiting them. Pep-fests, soc-hops, sports, and organizations helped make the Sophomores' year inviting and rewarding. An exciting part of the year was the selection of class rings, which they will receive next fall when they return as Juniors, no longer bewildered or timid.

Perhao Lonnie Duberstoin, Miles Nyland, and Jim Facfclcr will remember swapping jokes with their architectural drawing instructor, Mr. Donald Raether. DURING SENIORS' YEARS at RH$, they work to cam lettermen's jackets and Pep Club tweatert. The effort put into earning them, makes it an honor to wear one. Buttoning on his jacket, a senior leaves school, proud of his ROBIN insignia. WITH A FINAL LOOK In his now-empty locker. Senior Dan Ritten thinks back over three years at RHS. How many memories the locker holds, no one else will ever know—tho hasty dean-outs, the long-overdue library book, the frustration of a forgotten combination. Ho slams the door shut, gives the locker a parting kick, and walks away, never to open it again. PRIDE IN ROBIN TEAMS provokes Pep Club members to paint large signs glorifying squads. Rich Jacobs and Bruce lindholm look at the Pep Club's product and find names of school heroes, long after graduation, memories of successful Robin teams will linger on. PROJECTS, experiments, and panels that give students a chance to participate actively rather than just listen and take notes, have always been highlights of various classes. Memorable prefects have ranged from dissecting a pig in biology to making a boat Baking a cake for her Homo Ec. II class will be a memory for Senior Karen McChesncy. 210 Seniors Will Remember Joy, Pain Of Leaving RHS for New Life Long after the seniors graduate, memories of leaving an old life for a new one will remain. They will remember the day that they discovered the big seniors were themselves. About then they realized that what are you going to do when you grow up? has suddenly become what are you going to do in the fall? They will remember the hopeless feeling they had trying to run clubs, keep up grades, and work. They will also cherish memories of last times they had during the year—times tinged with sadness, as seniors realize there will be no more. They will remember the last time Morgan, Yackel, and Kemnifz performed for the mighty Robins, and the last pepfest, the last time they wore their Pep Club sweater or letter jacket, the last time they finished a class project, the last time they closed a locker they had fought with for three years, and the last time, sometimes for many years, they saw friends that they have seen everyday since kindergarten. It is these moments that they will remember as they attend colleges, fight wars, and even as they watch their grandchildren graduate from high school. 211 Ends of Involvement Ends of involvement may be great or small, tangible or abstract. A flower may be given as a symbol of some worthy accomplishment. The product of service may be a trophy, game ball, or gratitude. Perfecting a skill may mean mistakes, but we learn from these. The reward may be exhaustion resulting in an embarrassing nap. Taking our rewards, we diverge on new paths of involvement . . . 213 Senior Activities AASENG, PATRICIA: Ski Club 11, 12; U� Ker Club 12; Y-Tecn. 12. ACKER, JOAN: Spanish Club 11; Y.

Ruth Johnson Typists..........................................Diane Anderson Randi Helgeson Editorial It all started when we chose our theme: Involvement '68. From this came everything. First, the symbol was chosen because circles enclose, go on forever, and interlock, as does involvement at RHS. Then the book was planned, and all we could do was wait for the year to begin. We had doubts, but from the first week we knew that the kids were going to make this year the best, and we knew that our theme fit perfect. We have cried, laughed, worried, and lost sleep trying to make our annual reflect this year. It was a hard job and it never could have been done without the help and concern of everyone involved. Up in the annual room, we had our own circle of involvement, and it drew in many people from many places. Now I can finally thank all of them. My staff, as well as myself, would want our advisor to be the first one we thanked. Her imagination, determination, and kindness were the power behind this book. We wish to thank her family, too, for we stole her from them many nights until very late. Next, I want to thank my staff, who put up with my temper, standards and demands from the middle of last summer until the day this book went to the printers. We also wish to thank the photographers: Mr. George Tokar and Mr. Norm Juliot and his Audio-Visual staff who took and retook pictures for us all year long. The pictures also had to be scheduled and identified and we appreciate all the help from the teachers, coaches, office ladies, and team captains. We especially want to thank Gary Yackel, who did everything but take the football pictures, and the math teachers, who waited for us four times. We wish to thank Mr. Dan Gleason and the Taylor Publishing Company, and Miss Nella Peterson, our business manager. In addition, we wish to thank two people who helped provide stimulus at the University workshop: Mrs. Armi Nelson and Mrs. Kathleen Leabo. We must also thank Ginny Jones who went beyond the call of duty to decorate the door for Christmas, and still met her deadline. Finally, we thank Mr. McLean, our neighbor who put up with all the people who confused our room with his . .. i .o. 224 INVOLVEMENT Spring’s Turbulent Revival Brings Soul-Searching Days The turbulent events of Spring forced seniors to look at life past the school's front doors, parking lot, and Robin's Nest. With graduation they became full-pledged members of a society full of both hope and despair. The assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King in April sparked interest in the newly formed Human Rights Club. The club took up a collection the morning after the assassination and sent it to the Way Youth Center on Plymouth Avenue. The assassination of Senator Robert Kennedy in June bound the nation together in compassion and bewilderment at violence in America. In spite of those few critical days, students still felt the coming of Spring. Leaving their books accidentally on purpose they concentrated on such things as searching for summer jobs, attending ball games, starting their suntans, frolicking in mud puddles, and signing endless seas of annuals. A SUMMER JOB MEANS MONEY to ponniless students. To Tom Larson, grocery boy at Penny's Supermarket, It also means lots,of hard work. SPIRALING SKYWARD, bare trees seem to reach out for life in early Spring. ANNUALS, ANNUALS, and more annuals. The '68 Robin staff has its final get-together to sort the just-arrived books. Between drinking pop, gossiping, giggling, and munching, tho staff managed to correctly count out the 2200 books. IT WAS A DAMP.

GUENEVERE ADVANCES toward the flaming stake as King Arthur and solemn townspeople watch her with remorseful eyes. DEVILISH BUT CHARMING, Morgan le Fay master-minds the building of the invisible wall. ‘Camelot’ Problems Are Fleeting As Cast Basks in Wisp of Glory . . . Once there was a fleeting wisp of glory called Camelot ... Camelot in all its splendor not only brought glory to the cast but also several fleeting problems. Quick scene changes were effectively handled by a tapestry which concealed stagehands during set changes. To achieve the enchanted forest look , a heavy, theatrical gauze curtain called a scrim was used. Costumes caused headaches—especially for the dancers who wore lavishly plumed headdresses, weighing as much as ten pounds apiece. The tender but moving story of King Arthur, Guenevere and Lancelot du Lac starred Seniors Jeff Jones, Mary Lamey, and Larry Bjornstad respectively. Supporting actors consisted of sophomores, juniors, and seniors with varied dancing, acting, and singing talents. Staged and directed by Mr. Neal Luebke, Camelot played before full houses during its entire six-day run in March. Well received, Camelot rated two standing ovations— a true fleeting wisp of glory. Spring Welcomes Active Students Into Host of Energetic Events Spring called to energetic Robins to come out and join in its large field of activities. It was the time of year for the selection of new club officers and team captains, banquets, corsages, and finals. For Drama students, a final competitive scene was due. For Robinaires and cheerleaders, it was tryout time. For all students it was time to bid adieu to Mr. Mielke, RHS' principal who retired after giving 39 years of service. Twinkle-toed Hubert Horatio Huskims and flower-bedecked Tiny Tim' highlighted Spring Sports Week—five days of festivities designated to honor RHS track, golf, baseball, and tennis athletes. Nominated by spring sportsmen, a queen and two attendants were chosen to reign over the week's events. Blue and gold daisies, a sprawling sign in the foyer, and specific sport days were only some of the specialties of the week. All was culminated by the Robin Relays. LINUS (Junior Jim Kalitowski) bashfully sucks his rhumb as Lucy (Junior Barb Granting) sets him in his place in Peanuts, one of the shows directed and produced by Robbinsdale drama students. HARO PRACTICE, correct timing, and much stamina go into Robinaire tryouts. Junior Laurie Murray drills herself on a newly learned dance. AN EXULTANT SMILE ... a cry of utter disbelief... a flow of happy spirits .. . were the different reactions of the 1968 Spring Sports Royalty—Sophomore Princess Debbie Pcndy, Senior Queen Jayne Erickson, and Junior Princess Jackie Kammcrcr. VICTORIOUSLY, a Robin Relay runner brings the baton safely across the finish line. HUBERT HORATIO HUSKIMS, (alias Richard Huskey) is at his best when doing his famous delicate ballet for Robbinsdale students DUBIOUS, YET CURIOUS, Mr. Milo Mielke, retiring principal, surveys the large package he is about to open at the Faculty Testimonial Dinner. X Victorious Baseball, Golf Teams Swing Through Unusual Season Baseball meant more than bubble gum cards to Robbinsdale's ball team as they batted their way to the district finals this year. Beaten by Edina, 5-4, the team had only their memories of one-run losses, unearned runs, and rained out games. In the only shut-out of the season. Pitcher Greg Shish allowed only one hit for a score of 8-0 in the finals with Watertown. Four Lake Conference games were lost by one run and I think this was a main reason for our low Lake Conference standing, commented the baseball coach Charles Tabor. In spite of the misfortunes that plagued the team, he also praised the boys collectively as one of the hardest hitting teams that had ever stormed Rob-binsdale. For the first time since 1960 a Robbinsdale golf team won a Lake Conference championship. We didn't have one outstanding member, but everyone on the team worked together, said Mr. Ken Severud, coach, accounting for the team's success. A few points difference separated most of the scores but the Robins managed to come out with lower totals in all of the matches except Hopkins. Diligent practice by the six boys on their own time and at their own expense contributed to their consistently low scores. VARSITY BASEBALL TEAM: front row.- M. WoW, C. Mitkowk, G. Pendy, B.

Track Team Sets New Records; Netmen Have Uncertain Season Nineteen returning lettermen, under the co-captainship of Donn and Darryl Thor-vilson led the '68 track team to a record-breaking season. The 880 relay team composed of Seniors Donn Thorvilson, Tom Gryniewski, Blake Nyberg and Sophomore Don Kroohn broke school. Lake Conference, district, and regional records. The four boys then went on to capture third place in state competition. An all-out effort by the team helped them to a one-half point victory over St. Cloud Tech and four other teams in the Robin Relays. Coached by Mr. Wrucke, the runners, hurlers, and jumpers took fourth in district competition and ended the season with third place in the Lake Conference meet. Robbinsdale's '68 tennis team proved to be as unpredictable as Minnesota's weather. A 4-1 win one week would be followed by a 5-0 loss the next. On-again, off-again play put the team in fifth place at the end of the season. Movies of the team, taken by Coach John Adams, helped the boys evaluate their performances. After the team had privately viewed the films, one member said, They were ridiculous because everyone was in such bad form.

Traditional corsages, garter gifts, and formal attire played importanl roles that evening. After posing for picture-hungry parents, the couples entered the Leamington Hotel to dance to the music of Stan Haugesaug and his orchestra. Despite the stormy weather, midnight dinners and all-night parties kept festivities flourishing well into the wee hours. Saturday, after Prom, cabins, public lakes, and parks were used for all-day picnics. Their spirits feeling Younger Than Springtime, the couples quickly shed their sophistication and returned to reality. MAY 17, YOUNGER THAN SPRINGTIME . . .

Commencement Brings Plea for World Peace With a prayer for peace and world understanding, Rabbi Marc liebhaber began Robbinsdale's '68 Commencement exercises. Senior Class president Jeff Jones introduced the speakers, and special honors were awarded. Marilee Grygelko and Bruce Doepke received the two Outstanding Senior awards for their dedication to the school. The valedictory addresses were delivered by Judy Cram and Marc Doren-feld. A check for the new patio was presented to Mr. Mielke as a gift from the Senior Class. Because of the 92 degree heat, seniors wore anything from pretty spring dresses to striped swimming trunks under their gowns. Following the exercises they boarded buses to the University of Wisconsin's Student Center for their Senior party. Recreation included three bands, an Olympic size pool, pinball machines, movies, bowling, and Casino gambling with play money. Later radios, records, stuffed animals, and hi-fi sets were auctioned using the play money. At 5:00 a.m. breakfast was served and the buses headed for home. Exhausted but happy, seniors agreed the trip was a fitting climax to their high school careers. NERVOUS AND WIGGLY, member of the 1968 graduating class of Robbinsdale pcrspiringly await their fateful march to tho football field where, at the Commencement exercises, they will become official graduates. ON THE FIELD, Mr. Miclke shakes hand with Senior Class President Jeff Jones, after greeting him as Jonesy in a friendly manner.

He looks anxiously ahead to the future, and looks fondly back on the past, when Robbinsdale High School played a big and important part in hi life. FORWARD MARCH! The seemingly endless line of graduating seniors continues to move out of the school and onto the field, SAD BUT HAPPY, seniors accept their diplomas from the school board, receiving the final proof of their graduation. itft m We observe the changes Spring brings . . .
