I can stand at the foot of the hill, looking up At my abandoned castle, and watch The setting sun repeating itself in the windows, Each one sparkling like a priceless jewel, Making my castle appear like pirates' contraband. Those were happy years that blessed my occupancy- Carefree, hurried years- Crowded years. Again I saw the football games and smelt the lovely autumn Weather, And the Homecoming dance In its green and gold splendor, and the alumni there. The parties, the sleigh rides, the dances, the school girl quarrels and piques- The Prom- Sweetpeas, roses, orchids, Swishing taffeta accentuating the rhythms of the music, And the murmur of the dancers Sweeter than the music. The school paper, the Sauraphian, is pleasant to recall, Writing articles, pasting, counting headlines. The end of four years Which began as we filed past the words Enter to Learn! And cautioning us as we leave our castle for the last time To Depart to Serve! Each to serve in his own way The way he knows best. And to come back again to the foot of the hill looking up At the abandoned castle, and watch The setting sun repeating itself on the windows, Each sparkling like a priceless jewel Making the castle look like pirates' contraband. -Marjorie Lawrence Page Five Foreword Never in the troubled history of mankind has the future of our world been more uncertain than it is to- day. To the query Whither goest thou? we can give no certain reply, but wherever we go we shall cherish the memories we hope we have graphically set forth in this printed record of our high school days and joys and the friends with whom we have shared them. wllfflqr' ,Yixf Dedication - - - To our Superintendent and friend, Mr. K. L. Haivorson, without whose guidance and co-operation this book would not have materialized, we dedicate this, the first issue of the SARAHI. His philosophy of education can be summed up in his own Words, Teach the student, not the subject matter. And we hope that our future record of achievement will justify his trust in us. . P1120 SI'1'PlI Board of Education - - N Inconspicuously working in the background, always for the good of the school, and the community has been this group of men. Heavy though their tasks have been and thankless though their many achievements, they have continued to serve loyally with no thought of personal gain except as expressed in the product of the ,institution they serve. Reading from left to right, the members of the board are: Kenneth L. Halvorson, Ernest J. Sodergren, Clinton F. Hill, Bernard F. Fagerman, Wm. Wlousky, Oscar Krieg, and Ed Salk. Itwrr lfigln' 1 I f -an-L ' . f U f 7 ' 'fl' . s,' TED BOHM High school principal. Mr. Ted Bohm, is a native of St. Cloud, where he attended the Lincoln school and graduated from Technical high school. He took his bachelor's degree from the State Teachers' Col- leg-e at St. Cloud and did graduate Work at the Col- lege of Education, Greeley, Colorado. Before coming to Sauk Rapids, Mr, Bohm taught in District 23 and at Littlefork High school. During the war he was with the Coast Guard for three and one-half 'ears, returning here in 1945. To the Class of '48, Mr, Bohm says, Ny aplvi.: to graduates is: Ccntinue your fdcacation in an iri- eituation of higher learning. The present trend i-5 tim ward further education and those who can gain this additional training will have an advantage over those who are not so fortunatef, .kfci MR. KENNETH L. HALVORSON Superintendent of Schools, Mr. K. L. Halvorson, was born in Spicer, Minnesota. After completing high school, he worked for four years in a general store. In 1929 he enrolled at Concordia College at Moorhead, graduating in 1933. The following y-ear he worked as a field representative at Waldorf college and in 15311 became principal at Gary. After two years at the position and a summer at the University of Washington, Mr. Halvorson re- turned to the state Where he served as superintendent at Middle River for seven years. In 1941 he received his Master of Arts degree at the University of North Dakota, and was first welcomed by Sauk Rapids in 1943. His message to graduating seniors is.

In September of 1944 our present class began its long ascent toward graduation. Our freshman class was com- posed of students from the Lutheran, Catholic, dist- rict and local grammar schools, and at our first meeting the group selected Marvin Blaske to head the class with Mary Lou Lubbesmeier as vice presi- dent and Bob Skinner as secretary-treasurer. A new principal greeted us as we entered the Russel school, Miss Teasel Kennedy, whom we soon came to regard as our friend. The year terminated with its biggest social event, a picnic, held at Municipal Park. The following year, decidedly superior, after climbing the several Hights of stairs to the senior high, we were introduced to such pre-adult delights as Homecoming. Mary Lou Lubbesmeier was our attendant to the queen, and Marjorie Lawrence, Teresa Wingen and Esther Sandquist served as the all-petticoat slate of class officers. The thrill of the year was the winning of a berth in the Region V basketball play-offs by dumping St. Cloud Tech in the district finals. Again our annual picnic wav held at Municipal park, and was an exceedingly damp affair. QContinucd on Page 213 HONOR STUDENTS Teresa Wingen, valedictoriang Donna Cairns, salutatorian.

Blau Jlwlafuf QContinued from Page 145 Dan Coborn was chosen to preside over the junior class and Elaine Larson and Ione Schafer were elected to assist him. Tiny Lois Ann Mendel was our choice for the attendant to the Homecoming Queen of that year. In the busy months that follow- ed, the initiation of the new Varsity club members brought screams of protest from the girls, with Marvin Blaske giving them swoon doses in his role as Tarzanf' The class play, the Daffy Dills proved a suitable production with the cast living up to the title. As they had in the preceding year, the band and glee club displayed their merit by taking high honors in district and regional competition. Follow- ing our picnic, which, this year, took us to Little Rock Lake, we labored through our final exams and waited with crossed fingers for our all-important senior year. In the autumn of 1947 we returned to school determined that this last year of our high school careers would be the happiest of them all. A school newcomer, Dick Barthelemy, was voted class presi- dent while Dan Coborn got the vice presidency and Inette Rogosheske was elected secretary-treasurer. Elaine Larson reigned as queen over a muddy, but gala, Homecoming. Her senior attendants were Lois Ann Mendel and Donna Cairns. The first appear- ance of the new band uniforms gave added color to the celebration. Momentous days were those on which our class rings arrived, on which our pictures came from the National Studios and hysterical laughter rang through the halls, on which the faculty introduced the pink and green slips and students wondered how many more were to come, on which Esther Sand- quist Hconked out on the gym floor. Then the semester ended and the class averages were an- nounced, and the seniors settled down to do nothing effectively for the rest of the year, except to elect Bob Skinner, Snow King, at the informal prom. Easter vacation and the year alarmingly neared its close. The beautiful Junior Prom proved one of the most successful in class history with Miss Linne- man contributing much to the success of the affair. Then the class play Till Death Do Us Part with Gloria Nelson sharing directorial honors with Mr. Ciochetto, and finally the usual hub-bub of Class Day with Mr. Peterson taking charge. With our picture-record The Sarahi ftitle by courtesy of Bernard Schromj to help us, we know that we shall live again, in memory, the profitable and pleasant years in Sauk Rapids High School under the guidance of the faculty, Mr. Halvorson, our superintendent, Mr. Bohm, our principal, and Miss Keppers and Mr. Peterson, our senior advisors. Page Twenty-One Initiating what is hoped will become an annual tradition at Sauk Rapids High, the editorial staff of the year-book decided to include a Hall of Fame. The staff canvassed a group, including the high school faculty and a picked student committee, in order to determine which students, in the opinion of this group, repre- sented the highest type of school citizen. All of the members of the graduating class were considered-qualities looked for were all-around school citizenship, leadership, extra-curricular par- ticipation and adequate scholarship. When the canvass was com-- pleted, the four students shown above were almost unanimous choices for the 1948 HALL OF FAME. Pictured from left to right are: Dan Cohorn, lone Schafer, Ann Baron and Marvin Blaske, Page 'l'1m'f1Ayv'l'11ff1 l f l f f , I' I I I : I 153 K : A- gg, : U7 'f -..-T f X I I-Q THE JUNIOR CLASS CLASS OFFICERS Louis Otto, vice president, Lavonne Hommerding, secretary-treasuier and Dennis Patton. president. GZQ44 Bounding in with high spirits, we, forty-eight willing freshmen, entered the Russell Junior High school. At our class organization meeting we chose, as officers, Dennis Patton, president, Elvin Fleck, vice president, Jurene Soder, secretary, and Vione Koepp, treasurer. Elected to serve on our freshman Student council were Betty Teitz, Mary Ann Kinney, Audrey Trushenski, Janice Wittkowski, Elvin Fleck, and Ken Buerka. With Miss Kennedy and Mrs. Rhoda as advisors, the class worked well together, organizing several active clubs and entertaining at a number of successful parties. Most popular of the parties were those held on Halloween and Christ- mas. Having successfully completed the first high school year, we felt more than ready to enter the senior high school building and take our places as upper-classmen. Elected sophomore leaders were Dale Strong, president, Bob Russell, vice president: and Jurene Soder, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Earl Bohm and Miss Mary Lee Smith were the class MW advisors. Our party-conscious class had to wait until mid-winter for its first gathering and that was in the form of a dance. At least, the girls danced while the boys heckled from the sidelines. Some of the braver of the male sophomores did, however, attempt to shuffle around the floor without doing either them- selves or their partners great bodily harm. The cul- minating event of the school year was the class picnic at Little Rock Lake, and the happenings at that affair served as drug store conversation through-out the summer. Our junior year found us no longer on the lowest rung of the high school social ladder, and it was with a feeling of importance that we organized our class in the fall of 1947. Dennis Patton was chosen class president, Louis Otto, vice president, and Lavonne Hommerding, secretary-treasurer. Class advisors were Mr. Ciochetto, Miss Linneman, and Mr. E. Bohm. fC0i1l.iI'll,lQ': Cl on Next Page!

The autumn found a group of our husky junior boys bolstering the football squad, and a large share of thc credit for the very successful football season must go tc them. It is a known fact, too, that with the exceptioi. of two sophomore girls, it was the feminine section of our class that made most of the morale raising noises on the sidelines. Not by any means a class of blushing violets, we are willing, too, to take much of the credit for the suc- cess of the Homecoming celebration--we are certain that we presented the best of the evening's skits and we are certain, too, that the junior attendants to the queen, Vione Koepp and Mary Ellen Kardash, were the prettiest there. When it came to laughs We were right in there, too, and our memories center especially upon the Junior class play Bachelor's Wife in which Elvin Fleck, Louis Otto, Betty Tietz, Vione Koepp, Mary Ellen Kardash and Bob Russell kept the audience in an uproar. In other speech activities, too, we took back seats to no one, with Mary Ellen Kardash, Dennis Patton, Louis Otto, and Vione Koepp carry- ing the class laurels in this department.

The spring activities found outstanding the Junior prom at which our class entertained the seniors. The affair has been accredited one of the finest of its sort in the history of the school, and was accomplished by a group of student committees under the direction of Miss Linneman. In conclusion, in case it has not been evident throughout this history, we wish to go on record as stating that we are proud of our class and its accomplishments, and despite the fact that the mem- bers of our group acquire more pink and green slips than those of any other class, we are going to be around here next year, hoping to set an all-time senior class accomplishment record.

Z THE SCPHCMORE CLASS CLASS OFFICERS Joe Poepping, vice presidentg Jean Nierengarten, secretary, Marilyn Nelson, president, and Don Leners, treasurer. Glau In September, 1946, seventy-six green but willing freshmen entered the Russell Junior High. At the first class meeting, the group elected the following officers: John Sandquist, president, Art Starr, vice president, Donna Thompson, secretary, and Pat Schuller, treasurer. As our representatives on the junior high student council, we chose Mathilda Retzlaff, Arlys Scheel, Betty Skuza, Joyce Yozamp, Gene Golombeck, Don Leners, David Oltz, and Don Hill. Don Hill served as council president. Advisors for the class were Miss Teasel Kennedy and Mrs. Thora Rhoda. The year's activities were many and varied com- paried to the younger pleasures of the grammar school years. They included a Halloween party, a Christmas party, a St. Valentinels Day party, an Arbor Day celebration, and a class picnic as well as an all-school pageant. Chosen by the students as Valentine Sweethearts were Joyce Yozamp and Vern Tracy. A student election was also held to determine who were the outstanding students in the class, and Marilyn Nelson and Don Hill were voted the honor.

After the first touches of homesickness for the old Russell building had worn off, we once more organized ourselves into a class. With Mr. Sam Malkovich and Mrs. Geraldine Seedorf serving as advisors, we held an election meeting and chose for our officers Marilyn Nelson, president, Joe Poepping, vice president, Jean Nier- engarten, secretaryg and Don Leners, treasurer. Participation in the activities of the upper class- men seemed a little strange, at first, but the class had already had a fine tradition of participation behind it with several of its members taking part in varsity athletics while still freshmen. fContinued on Next Pagcj Page Twenty-Nine Row 1-Lorraine Tadych, Margaret Reginek, Rahona Reller, Lloyd Rosa, Jerry Sova, Earl Schriefels, Gloria Petron, Patty Schuller.

As our attendants to the Home- coming Queen we chose Pat Schuller and Joyce Yozamp, and the sophomore skit, a caricature of a high school crowd at a football game, received its full quota of laughs. Our class party was held on January 29 and the entertainment consisted of danc- ing, games and food. The biggest thrills of the year were, however, the football and basketball games and we are looking forward to more of the same next year. We approach our junior year with the confident attitude that our class will be a major factor in the bigger and better things that are to come out of Sauk Rapids high.

Occupying the major brain cells of all of the candidates for graduation this past year, have been such weighty problems as compulsory military training, labor-man- agement relations, and whether or not Sauk Rapids should have a youth center. The course was taught by Miss Linneman. :VMODERN HISTORY . . . The oo' lill sophomores have been working hard to be juniors but Napolean and the Industrial Revolution have been pretty difficult obstacles to surmounf. Despite the patience of Mr. Conlev. the instructor, 1950 still marks the middle of the dark ages and 1914 a telephone number. :PTYPING . . . This study in concentration concerns the fur jug rug. That's Bill Zwick and Mary Ellen Benoit in the foreground demon- strating the proper technique. Dorothy Prom and Joe Poepping, behind them are looking at the keys-they're cheating! Rear center shows Mr. Malkovich being very help'ul. PHYSICS . . . A special crew worked three days and nights to bring this semblance of order to Mr. Peterson's 2nd floor stomping grounds. Dan Coborn and Louis Otto managed to shove themselves up to the foreground in their usual modest style. That thing Mr. Peterson is demonstrating is the successor to the BOMB. lCHEMISTRY . . . When the members of the chemistry class take time out from developing photo- graphs, they pour things together and run for the biology room. Marv Blaske and Floyd Oltz look a little out of place in that group, especially with the three muske- teers-Rene, LaVonne, and J urene around. Note: Rene isn't talking-must be she understands this experiment. JfBIOLOGY . . . Mr. Bohm, with the help of an intricate model, is explaining the human ear to this group of fascinated zoologists. Carl Yilek, in the center rear, looks as though he's not quite sure whether or not he's being spoof- ed, but he's not taking any chances so he looks as though he suspects it's all a joke. Page Thzrly Q61 en Page Thirty-Eight :KGEOGRAPHY . . . Smug in their knowledge of the native habitation of hemp and quebracho, these happy geography students are enjoying their vicarious Hitting to remote corners of the world-logging in New Zealand, vagabonding in the Sahara, eating suet in the Artic, and basking in the sun of the Riviera. Only Gerald Golembeck looks slightly bored by the proceedings. XENGLISH 10 . . . This panoramic view of the 1948 high school coifffure, male and female, was caught by the cameraman as Jean Nieren- garten took over for Miss Linneman on a bulletin board demonstration. Note: By the time this picture was taken, the sopho- more group had not yet lost the bounce that was evident in their last September conduct. XENGLISH 12 . . . In contrast to the usually almost inaudible tones of Mr. Ciochetto, Gloria Bolz holds the attention of the sixth hour senior English class with a loud rendition of some poetry of the Romantic Era. That master- piece of orderliness in the foreground is the annual and press club desk, jointly presided over by Carolyn Skoog and Ione Schafer XSPEECH . . . 1947-48 was a busy year for the speech department. Top picture is from the Christmas play Grapes for Dinner in which Marv Blaske and Carolyn Skoog starred and Dennis Patton got the laughsg it was directed by Ardith Hahn and June Skeate. Left center is the debate team-Loren Clepper, Marv Blaske, Ann Baron and Marj Lawrence. Lower left-scene from The Happy Journey, contest play. Right, Vione Koepp and Mary Ellen Kardash render dramatic readings. Page T hirml-Nine Page Fnrty if'BOOKKEE,PING . . . Fifth hour bookkeeping finds everyone hard at work on their sets John Eibon and Hilbert Senczek, the only boys in the class, find the predominance of the gals a little distracting. Miss Keppers, at desk, is putting her John Henry on the suc- cessfully completed papers. That candy bar for after-lunch dessert costs ten cents when eaten in class. WSTENO I.. . Jean Kath is in her usual quandary, she tried to do one of those week-end Steno assignments in five minutes and can't fig- ure out what she has written. The small size of the Steno I class enables Miss Kep- pers to hand out stiffer assignments and the junior girls are not so sure now that they want to be secretaries anyway. iiGEOMETRY . . . The intelligent looks on the faces of these sophomores were donned especially for the camera. Mr. Peterson's theory that Either you know it or you don't,' hasn't kept them from trying. John Sandquist seems more interested in Betty Lezer than equations, and Don Hill is deeply engrossed in sharp- ening a pencil-he is not knitting. BUSINESS LAW . . . Acquainting the student body with the ins and outs of negotiable instruments Qchecks and things like that there to yousej is this panel of business law students. Left to right are Lois Ann Mendel, tending strictly to businessg Basil Mielke, looking quizzicalg Dan Coborn, chairman, looking bossyg Devon The Voice Hackett, doubtingg and Betty Hockert, looking as though she just said something nasty. PHYSICAL EDUCATION . . . On the right below is a snap of Mrs. Seedorf's girls' physical education class braving the wintry blasts of a sub-zero day on the skating rink, while to the left Mr. Conley's bunch of sissies stay inside Where itls warm. lifg c liurzg Um: W3 his KHOME ECONOMICS V . . . :l1HOME ECONOMICE IV . . . Going domestic in a big way, the girls from the upper classes, under the direction of Mrs. Geraldine Seedorf, crochet everything from doilies and pot holders to baby sets and little un- mentionables. HOME ECONOMICS III . . . Freshman girls hard at work on their summer dresses make a good show of ignoring the camera, but you can bet they know Mr. Champa is there. Page Fony-I 'wo Art in home and dress, food and nutrition, and a study of textiles are the weighty problems tackled by this group of future homemakers. Mrs. Seedorf is smiling as though she has a stiff test cooked up. :KHOME ECONOMICS I . . . Hurdling such difficult preliminary steps as the making of hot chocolate, salads, and even a cake or two, this seventh grade group absorbs the fun- damentals of food preparation. INDUSTRIAL ARTS . . . WDrafting . . . The plans for your new home or the design for your 1949 jalopy were made in a room similar to this by an individual who once started out as the boys pictured here. Included in the course are lettering, sheet metal pattern drafting, machine drawing. electrical layouts, project drawing, architectural and other phases of in- dustrial drafting. iFWoodworking . . . After being introduced to the tools and machines used in industry, wood- working students are taught the uses and care of the tools with emphasis placed on Safety Precautions. The students spend many hours in actual operation of each tool and machine, in order to develop individual skills. 2Phases of Industrial Arts . . . 1. Woodworking 2. Drafting 3. Sheet Metal 4.

Due to the fact that the pupils came from so many different schools, the first few weeks were spent in getting acquainted. After that period, the group elected a student council and the class officers fpictured in the regular freshman sectionj. Biggest social event of the year was the Valentine party with Reinhard Hoagland and Bonnie Case ruling over festivities as King and Queen, attended by Dorothy Blaske, Mary Ann Germann, Patricia Gorecki, Laurence Wolter, Norbert Otto, and Maynard Leyk. A girls' glee club and a boys' chorus were organized. These groups sang for assemblies, the Russell school Musical Festival and helped with the pageant To Make Men Free. A large number of the group joined the junior high Press Club and helped with the prepara- tion of the school monthly, Declamatory work proved of interest to the class, and about half of the ninth grade entered some phase of the activity, and the Conserva- tion Essay contest found most of the students entering. The spring exhibit, displaying the best work of the school year, found every student repre- sented. Page Seventy-Four ,fe vw B? 1? uf gay CHAMPA STUDIOS Sarah!
