M. Erikson tolls R. Noble he is a finalist for W.S.D. King. Teds, having a brief vacation from the books and recovering from semester finals, relaxed and enjoyed the events of Winter Sports Day, 1962. Some homerooms had an early breakfast together, but first on the school-wide agenda, planned by co-chairmen Marilynn Erikson and John Totushek, was the morning auditorium. The Rockettes and their counterpart, the Rockheads, performed and were followed by other entertainment. The candidates for king were then interviewed and combined their hidden musical talent to form a combo. School was dismissed early and excited students paraded down to Sibley Field for the coronation and other activities. Thoroughly chilled after rides in convertibles, the candidates took their places alongside the ice throne which one of them was soon to occupy. Aquatennial Princesses then crowned King Gordy Howe to rule the remainder of the day. The 1962 Winter Sports Day candidates from top to bottom: Mickey Norton, Gordy Howe, Ron Noble, Kurt Jensen, and Mike Chadwick. W.S.D. Was a Welcome After a display of the Rockheads' skating ability, students rushed onto the ice to participate in the competition between classes this year. The tug of war was declared a tie between the seniors and sophomores when the rope broke. The attention then shifted to the hockey rink for the broom hockey game. After a rough and tumble battle, the Silver Tri defeated the Blue Tri by 1 to 0. The last event was a Bunny Hop on the ice, a challenge to the agility and footing of all. Students, after returning home and warming up, prepared for the evening activities. Spirits were dampened somewhat when the cagers stumbled against Marshall. However, the hockey team triumphed over St. Paul Monroe with King Gordy scoring the deciding goal. Meanwhile, back at school, to the beat of the dance band, Teddies danced and participated in a Twist contest. The Ice Fantasy brought the long day of festivities to a close. 22
