PAUL, MINNESOTA MAY 1954 DEDICATICN Q ide C arid 0 . . . . . take great pride in dedicating the first year- book of Sibley High School to Mr. Herbert L. Garlough, superintendent of the West St. Paul schools. Born and raised on the West side, Mr. Garlough became superintendent of schools in District 2, Da- kota County in August of 1929, after holding the position of high school principal for two years in Glascow, Montana. Since then he has seen the system grow from a district of 700 pupils to its present en- rollment of 2400 pupils, plus many more improve- ments and additions to school buildings. Mr. Garlough attributes the growth and improvement of our edu- cational system to the peoples of the District. To you, Mr. Garlough, we give our thanks for your devoted leadership. Sibley High School, to us, is a dream come true. c 154. .ff I 3 is QW' 1 3 .X 1.,fk?-nf-t'?..f1' a A 4 I ' Wg A1 JA Kd. . vp: --.-Q- .f-I up lj 'buf' Y--Q BOARD OF EDUCATION-Seuiedz Carl R, Edsfrom, Clerkg Clarence H.

Monson, for his devoted efforts in establishing Sibley as a full-fledged Minnesota high school. Mr. Monson became principal here at Sibley in the fall of 1952 after holding the same office at Cambridge, Minnesota. He has given his help and approval towards developing self-government, and in organizing school activities and clubs which promote enthusiasm and interest among students. The personal attention he has given each student and his pleasantness and kindness have been appreciated by all of us. To you, Mr. Monson, we give our deep appreciation for your wonderful, enduring services. HONORS if GIVE SPECIAL HONORS TO. Our counselor, Miss Mae L. Nachbar, for her success in develop- ing a strong-spirited senior class here at Sibley. Miss Nachbar came to Sibley in September, 1952. Since then, besides teaching, she has put forth much of her time and effort into guiding and helping seniors to get the necessary background for the vocation of their choosing. This year, she organized a day known to us as Career Day -a day which helped us greatly in making our career and college choices. We'll never forget the great service she performed when she organized and became advisor to our Student Council, one of Sibley's strongest organizations. Of all her services these are only a few. We seniors sincerely thank you, Miss Nachbar, 'For all the help you've given us in the past two years. jaalkg SOCIAL SCIENCE: Mr. John Ramaley, American history, world history, and English, Miss Mao Nachbar, Social Science, Mr. Kenneth Mestad, American history, Mr. Roger Mosvick, world history and speech.

Along with this honor came many problems. There were no traditions to follow, no upper-classmen to get advice from. Our sophomore year was not too difficult be- cause we still felt ourselves to be part of the junior high, but in our iunior year we began to meet real problems. With the aid of Miss Nachbar we organized our class, had our first prom, and ordered class rings. We entered the Suburban League in sports, started the first high school paper, and put on the first Junior Class Play. Most of us remember the difficulty we had in getting a cast for You Can't Take it With You, and the many nights of work and practice put in by Mr. Mosvick, the cast, and the crew. Our basketball team, lacking the advantage of experienced seniors and of a large gym to practice in, entered the Suburban League to compete with teams from well-established schools. The Prom is something most of us will never forget. We had the responsibility of blazing the trail for the classes to follow us. We had to get our parents and the community used to the idea that we were growing into a full high school, and that we wanted the same things that other high schools wanted. We also had trouble with finances. Our class was small and the cost of an orchestra and a room was high. In spite of all our difficulties we man- aged to have our prom, but not without several class meetings, faculty meetings, a parents' meet- ing, and much discussion. During the past year we have published the first yearbook, entered tournament play in sports for the first time, and made plans for the school's first graduation exercises. Now we can look back with pride at our achievements. We have made a way for those who will come after us, and have established pre- cedents and traditions for them to follow. The class selected for its flower the rose, and for its colors, blue and silver.

Throughout the year the council handled busi- ness such as hall monitors, pop sales at school activities, development of the Ethics Committee, and sponsored several dances. They also sent seven members to a Student Council Convention at Forest Lake, at which they were Vice-President at the meetings, and they took care of any business the students brought before them. All the students and the members of the Council wish to give their thanks to Miss Mae Nachbar, without whose help the Student Council would never have been start- ed. Although Miss Nachbar had a full schedule as Social Science teacher and as Senior Advisor, she gave her extra time to lead the Student govern- ment to what turned out to be a very successful year during which the Council firmly implanted itself in the school as an effective government to handle the students' problems.

They ended the season with one win, five losses, and a tie. Although their record was not too impressive, the boys never gave up, and their strength surprised some of the top teams. In their opening game the Warriors gave the league cham- pion, Stillwater, quite a scare before they lost 14-6. They came back to beat Roseville 34-0 in a non-conference game. The War- riors also dropped games to White Bear, Anoka, Hastings, and Columbia Heights. The game with South St. Paul ended in a scoreless tie. The team came close to winning this game, but time ran out when the Warriors were on South St. Paul's two- yard line. Tom Thomas, Warrior tackle, won a place on the All-Sub- urban Team. Glenn Smith and Ken Haley were chosen on the second team. With the valuable experience gained this year, the team stands a good chance of doing a lot better next year.

The season resulted in 6 wins K4 conferencel and 'I6 losses U3 conferencel. The first two games of the season were dropped to Humboldt and White Bear. ln the thriller of the season, West St. Paul played host to Stillwater, losing in a double-overtime game. The Warriors lost to Anoka, giving Sibley their fourth loss be- fore going to the range to win over Gilbert and to bow out to Eveleth. The next two games were lost to Hastings and South St. Paul. Then in a great comeback, the Warriors came up with four straight wins, beating Ramsey, Humboldt, Columbia Heights, and White Bear. ln the last half of the season they won only one game, defeating a vic- Tho team at the half, in deep thought! tory-seeking Ramsey team. It was a tough season, but the West St. Paul Warriors fought hard all the way. ln the Sub-district playoffs, the Warriors pulled two hot games out of the fire. The first game was with Mahtomedi, 63-34, and the second from a tough St. Paul Park team, 4'l-39. This victory en- tered West St. Paul in the District 'I4 playoffs. The Warriors gained the title of Sub-district champs when they beat Farmington in a close champion- ship game, 57-54. The game gave the school its first athletic trophy. Although the Warriors lost to Stillwater in the first game of the District playoffs, their stirring finish gave their first season of state conference play a touch of glory. Now get this boys!

They com- peted in three meets-the Carleton Relays, the Sub- urban Meet, and a dual meet with South St. Paul. No one placed at Carleton, Staeheli and Morgan placed at the Suburban meet, and the team came in second in the dual meet. The boys lacked ex- perience, but for a first year, they did well. Coach George Stielow is hoping for a more successful season in 1954. FRONT ROW: Dick Morgan, Dan Bryan, Rag Delange, Tom Thomas, Don Ireland, Butch Beihl, Dave Kios.

SIBLEY'S LETTERMEN Sibley's Lettermen's Club was started in 'I945 in the Junior High School. The club is headed by coaches Charles Matson and George Stielow. For every member who has earned a letter in sports, a special meeting is held and a secret initiation takes place. This year the Lettermen helped the cheer- leaders sponsor a dance to pay for their cheering jackets. They are also planning special proiects through which the boys may earn money enough to buy themselves letter iackets. INTRAMURAL SPORTS Intramural Sports, a new activity at Sibley, is a sports program for boys who meet Tuesday and Friday noons. This year four basketball teams have been playing-two senior teams, Herzog's Grum- blers and Gitzen's Hasbeens, and four sophomore teams, Roeller's Bears, Eberspacher's Wildcats, De- Valerio's Globetrotters, and Staeheli's Clowns. Next year a much broader program will be planned in- cluding touch tootball and other sports. FRONT: Larry Gitzen, Joe Herzog.

I r f I 53- 54 SEASON The 1953-54 sports season brought forth six girls and one boy to lead the fans in their school cheers. They worked hard and made up all new cheers. The pep fests held in the new gym showed that the students liked the new yells. The girls' uniforms consisted of red corduroy coulottes, gold corduroy iackets, and red tennis shoes. Bob wore red corduroy slacks, a gold letter-sweater and white tennis shoes. The cheerleaders thank those students who helped support the team at the games. 52- 53 SEASON During Sibley's first year-1952-1953-the cheer- leading was under the sponsorship of the Pep Club. Six girls-Pearl Vitelli, Nancy Johnson, Margie Al- berts, Rosie Degnan, Judy Craige, and Janet Falk- led the school cheers with the help of the club. The advisor was Miss Virginia Flores. Last year's uniforms consisted of long-sleeved gold blouses, red corduroy jumpers with quilted bottoms, and red tennis shoes. At the games the Pep Club performed at half- time dressed in red denim peddle pushers, white blouses, and red and gold ties. B SQUAD: Front row: Liz Eckholm, June Kempe, Mary Ann Grossman, Carol Ribbentropp. Back row: Carol Meese, Judy Wilkus. 'B' SQUAD Sibley's first group of B squad cheerleaders consisted of six girls- four regulars who cheered at all games, and two alternates who cheered at only home games. They met sev- eral times a week and practiced the A squad's cheers. The girls cheered at pep fests and were greatly appreciated when they helped the A squad cheerleaders at the Sub-district games. Their uniforms featured red corduroy coulottes, gold sweaters, red let- ters, and red tennis . shoes. FRONT ROW: P. Meserve, H. Yoerks, P. Lightbourn, secretary, C. Vogstrom, president, R.

The Girls' Athletic Association, better known as GAA, is a somewhat new organization. The girls began playing touch football in the fall. When colder weather set in, they were forced inside and began playing volleyball. When basketball sea- son approached, the girls chose teams. At first' their games were played in the Junior High Gym, but later the girls were given a section of the new Senior High Gym. At that time they alternately used the trampoline and played basketball. Once a month the club sponsors a swimming party for all GAA members at Wilder's. With the return of warm weather, the bats and balls were dragged out and softball was in full swing. A point system has been devised through which girls who earn 500 points by the end of the year receive a GAA letter. These points are earned through participation in actual GAA meetings and in outside sports activities. All members extend a very hearty Thanks! to Mrs. Marilyn Boardman, their advisor. fe H I I .I I M N i A S In Y . i G A A f .45 L rf 2 ' a A Q gg : pf. F . ,Eff-?, A , rv- - : , sa , ' -s -ut.

Senior Prophecy It is June 4, 1964, and we are about to witness the reunion of the first graduating class of Sibley High School. We are in the magnificent Waldorf Astoria Hotel, owned and managed by Mr. Emer- ald G. Thomas, who has had his entire staff work- ing for days preparing for the great event. He has had the famed Astor Roof completely redecorated by New York's most eminent interior decorator, Madame Virginia Crisman. The main course was planned and prepared under the supervision of Chef Miss Elaine Baker. The tenderloin steaks were supplied by Texas millionaire Raymond Marthaler, and Leonard Perron brought the vegetables in per- son in his sleek Cadillac truck. The pastry queen, Miss Jeanne Colvard, donated her famous brownies for this auspicious occasion. The group now proceeds down Broadway in limousines provided by Edward Kane and Roger Vancore, co-owners of General Motors Corpora- tion. Along the way we pass Mademoiselle Mar- iorie Albert's beauty school whose staff of experts includes Raymond Kuss hair stylist, Beverly Bur- ington beauty consultant, and Elizabeth Strom head manicurist. As we arrive at the Moulin Rouge we are greet- ed by doorman Duane Carlson. Upon entering we meet the owners, Mr. Richard L. Morgan and Mr. Erwin D. Gloss who will escort us to our tables in the Gay Paree Room. Because of the many talent- ed people in the class of 54 the entertainment will be provided by the guests themselves. We have among us, Maestro James D. Chapdelaine, director of his own Jazz Band. Two of his musi- cians are his ex-classmates Walter Foucek on the trombone, and Duane Gott on the trumpet. The M.C., John Flannigan, introduces the first perform- er of the evening, recording star Eddie Niemczyk who sings the Sibley Rouser with the audience ioin- ing him in the second chorus. The next act is a can-can dance performed by the D. S. C's among whose members are Nancy Anderson, Marlene De- muth, Catherine Gruhlke, Monica Healy, Helen Utschinski, Kay Youngquist, Marlene Vick, and Connie Kober. Movie stars Larry Gitzen and Gloria Gunderman did a scene from the picture they are working on, Heaven Only Knows. The program concluded with Charlene Arndt, Leone Burow, Christa Eckert, Janet Ecklund, Kay Thomas, and JoAnn Wohlford singing You'll Never Walk Alone because of their fond memories in Glee Club. Now that the floor show is concluded the guests start to mingle with their old classmates. First we see Sally Bartsch and her husband talking to JoAnn Hoffman, and Audrey Drew. At a ringside table the New York Times ace reporter Miss Sally Shep- ard is taking notes on this, the biggest social event of the season. Let's take a look over her shoulder to get a preview of tomorrow morning's front page story. Miss Shepard's first interview of the evening was with Miss Julie Shoenberger, the most promi- nent social figure in New York City. She is wearing an original creation by Ernest J. Costello fashioned of ice blue velvet with a pearl embroidered bodice. In direct contrast to this style is Miss Betty Heuer's original western creation by Lady Mary Ann Whit- son. Among the celebraties are Carol Vogstrom, the famous horse breeder and co-owner of the Great Northern Kennel, with Lorraine Thomas. At a near-by table we see Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Herzog fthe former Marlene Petersonj and Mr. and Mrs. Edward Harder Cthe former Pearl Vitellit undoubt- edly discussing the Harders' new twins. Another couple recently blessed with a baby girl is the former Nancy Johnson and her husband Howard Unruh. Aside from the crowd at a large table in the corner of the room we see Donna Colburn, Em- ma Lou Connor, Joan Glotzbach, Margaret Hislop, Myla Jump, and Margaret Murphy talking over their high school days. Eavesdropping, we hear Gerald Haider telling Donald Buell, Darryl DuRand, Bruce Fawkner, and Norman Goetzke about the new bowling alley he is having built by contractor Edwin R. Johnson and architect Richard A. LeMay. As Chazz's Jazz Band begins to play, songstress Judy Ruberto gives out with the new hit, Dig That Craaazy Faculty, which was written by Margie Rapp and Audrey Buys. Later on the couples gather on the floor for the last dance of the evening. Pho- tographs are being taken for memory albums of the class of 54 by Dave Nordby and his assist- ant, Jerry Norsby. By this time the party is starting to break up and the guests are leaving for bus depots, cars, train stations, and airports. Among these are Shir- ley Walsh and her husband and Mr. and Mrs. Leighton Westereng Cformer Gerrie Staehelil who are leaving in Tom Sullivan's private plane, pilot- ed by his friend, playboy Chuck Washick. Also go- ing to the airport to take the Northwest Strato- cruiser home are Marline Atkins, Janis Minar, Mar- lene Rahn and Claudia Haggenmiller. Taking their private cars we see the distinguished mortician, Mr. Jack PL Garner and his associate, Mr. Jerome Stelter. At the train depot we see Joan Koza at the switchboard saying goodby to her friends, Charles Schilling, Pat Schneider, George Smith, Ray Kloss and Jim Vogel. Going back to her New York home is organist Gretchen Schlutz. Richard Maser, Darrell Westereng, and Don Tietien stop at the Motero, owned by Richard Maser, to discuss the day's events. And so as the sun rises over the Waldorf Astoria and we have seen the last of the class of 54 leave, we look forward to another reunion with the first graduating class of Sibley Senior High School.
