Travel now with Waginita as she brings you through cscucla.” She will show you the “profesores and the “alumnos. After the school day, she will take you to a “fiesta” or diversion.

Let this MIndice” be your guide............................. On pace 7, Waginita will show you the profesores, your teachers. The alumnos or students are on page 11. Diversion or, as we would say, sports, arc on page 33. Clubs and organizations, here called fiestas, on page 45 will complete your “viaje. We of the annual staff hope that this may Ik a memorable and enjoyable journey. Buen viaje! Cl jejje de lad UtAiad A. B. SCHULTZ To the classes of 1945 Graduation is a lime of anticipation and a time of reflection—anticipation of what may bland reflection over what has been. Such an appraisal will be of little value unless we profit by these experiences and use them for our future betterment. Graduation may temper anticipation and deepen reflection for us as it brings joy and sorrow together when we separate—each to go his different path into the future. The faculty joins with me in desiring for you an eventful and successful life. A. B. Schultz PnajjeAosi i Mr. Ole Kakkc Counselor. Algebra.

This was selected because the postwar woild is going to Ik ours to settle—it is at our fingertips, in our hands. To mold the world into better shape, the boys in our class are fighting to achieve peace. “fancy's One-Track Mind, the play given by the January class, gave Mary Lou Reese and Sam Iordan leading roles while Doug Miller, Bill McPhce, and Ervina Ol-mem led the supporting cast. The class memorial, a spotlight for the auditorium, was purchased from the receipts of the class play. The group went roller skating at Pastime Arena for their class day which was climaxed by a “snack” at Nancy Sherry's home.

Tilt hkst GAMt of the season found Washburn meeting the Indians in a knock-down, drag-out battle with the score ending 0-0. The next week the Indians ventured to St. Cloud to down Tech 6-0. With this win under their belts the gridders met Marshall, who last year downed the Warriors 19-6. Having this in mind, the Indians handed them a 14-6 beating. In the fourth league game of the year, that between the Polars and the Indians, the battle was a see-saw affair, with the final score reading 19-19, for the second tic. The next week at the Southwest homecoming, Vocational tried to dampen our spirits; however, to no avail, for the Indians toppled over the Volts 26-0. The final win for the home tribe was an upset staged on the South gridiron. The local boys were out to avenge B Squad Front Row: Greer Lockhart, John Christiansen, Harry Western berg, Ralph Kdtly.

In the last quarter, after Chuck Lange had snagged a pass and made the South 49, Jim Warner went over his own left side of the line and scampered for the first tally of the game. The extra point was made by a pass from Bob Miller to Tom Peterson, who was waiting in the end zone. South was stunned by the sudden turn of events, but drove their way down the field to score. In a final, desperate hojxr to tic the game, they tried for their extra point, but missed it by inches. The Indians turned the tables in defeating last year’s city champs 7-6. In the last game of the season Southwest was defeated by a strong West squad 20-0. The Indians ended in fifth place in the city league standings with one all-city player, Tom Fehert. 54 Schedule Washburn Marshall Central North Vocational South Wot Opp. 0 6 20 19 6 6 20 1.

One was with St. I-ouis Park 43-40. St. Paul Monroe defeated the cagcrs in the Hamlinc field house by a score of 35-24. In the first city game of the year Southwest met West and was defeated 24-30. The second league game with South was also a defeat, 23-14. Again in the third game the Indians were downed by Washburn who beat the Southwesters to the tune of 37-25. The following week the cagers met a strong Marshall team to bow 33-18. In the next game the Indian five tangled with Patrick Henry, last year’s state champion. The Patriots trimmed the Indians 53-35. The sixth game of the season found Central defeating Southwest 39-30. Second-place Roosevelt found no difficulty in overcoming the Indians 49-30; the Indians met Kdison and were toppled 38-27. In the last two league games of the season Southwest bowed to North 33-34, anil vocational 43-47. Next year the hopes for a title-bound team arc much brighter.

Last year Southwest harriers hail a successful season, and this year they upheld their rank as being one of the best crosscountry teams in the state. Halley's boys had three wins against one defeat in dual meets. They met and defeated St. Paul Johnson twice and West once. Roosevelt, defending city champions, downed the Indians in a close meet. The city meet, which followed, was held at Lake No-komis. In this two mile course the Indians, paced by Captain Jack Thommen, Al Byers, and Dave Snead, placed second to Roosevelt. West was third, followed by North, Henry, F.dison, and South. In the state meet, held at Nokomis, Southwest had eleven entries. Al Byers, next year's captain, took top honors for Southwest by coming in third. Rohewedder of Worthington, who was state mile champion, came in first with a fast time of 9:37.1 to nose out Bill Schrimmcl of Roosevelt. At the end of the season there were six letter winners. Sain Jordan. Phil Lind, Joe Maher, Dave Snead, and Al Byers received their first letters while Jack Thommen received his second.

SWIMMING Another year of success for the Southwest mermen. The team won five out of six dual meets. The only loss handed to the Indians was by West’s strong team. The Washburn meet, which is usually very close, was a comparatively easy mark for the local finmen. The last dual meet of the season was with Blake. The Hill toppers gave the Indians a run but were unable to down the valiant crew. The score was a close 37-38. In the city Byrl Thompson and Arnic Formo led the team to second place by taking the city championship in the 50-y3rd dash and the 100-yard breaststroke, respectively. Southwest qualified only three men and both relays to accomplish this. One week later in the state meet Southwest placed fifth, higher than any other school in the city. Qualifiers for that meet were Byrl Thompson, Arnic Formo, Capt. Jim Brooks, and the relay team. In the Invitational Meet held at the Y, Southwest was able to drown out West to come in first. At the swimming team dinner, which is sponsored by the mothers of the swimmers, Paul Opsahl was elected captain for next year. In the first annual Minnesota National “AAU” swimming championship, Southwest took fifth place. Southwest was the only high school to enter the meet. In the 300-yard individual medley, which is an NAAU event, Arnic Formo took third. He also triumphed in the 100-yard men’s breast stroke with a first place. The Indian relay team came in third. J.

Girls' Gym Because of ihc war, physical fitness is an important part of the school program. Although gym is required in our school, the varied sftccial activities offered make this subject both interesting and educational. At the present time special courses in bowling, hiking, biking, archery, and recreational leadership arc given. However, there is a class of varied sports for those interested in tennis, baseball, badminton, or volley ball. In these classes, that arc directed by Miss Brinley and Mrs. Boylan. the girls of Southwest not only learn to Ik skillful in their field, but also learn the rules for playing, scoring, and teaching. Although it has been difficult to maintain an after-school program because of the lack of available facilities; nevertheless, an extracurricular sports program has been successful. The success of this program was due to the work of the girls' sport club. S.A.G.A. This organization has been important in the development of the girls at Southwest. They have planned the tournaments. and have so conducted them that the participation on the part of the girls has Ikcii excellent. Let's hope that this organization will continue to function each year more successfully than it has during the previous years.

HI-Y The Southwest Hi-Y Cu n consists of six chapters, Hux. Lex, Unx, Sfinx, Stvax, and Tau Stgs. Under the active leadership of Mr. Remund Sandman, Associate Secretary of the West Lake YMCA, they have accomplished much toward the attainment of the Hi-Y purpose: To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. Such activities as joint meetings, intra-school committees, and religious training meetings have kept the members busy. To prepare the newly-elected officers for their duties, the Hi-Y and Girl Reserve organizations at Southwest held a joint Hi-Y-Tri meeting, for the purpose of organizing a coed council. One of the outstanding joint meetings was held in April, when Or. Richard Raines, pastor of I lennepin Avenue Methodist Church, spoke on 'Boys and Girls Together.” Within the school building, Hi-Y have played inter-chapter basketball games, have sponsored an auditorium program at which George Grim spoke, and have assisted with other school activities. In all, Hi-Y at Southwest has had a successful year. Hi-Y Cabinet Front Row: Dave Snra«i, Dick Fried-rick , Ssvend Trefethen. Charlie Ixcr, Mr. R. A. Sandmann. . .

These organizations, which arc a branch of the Y.W.C.A., include freshmen and sophomore girls in Silver Tri. and junior and senior girls in Blue Tri. Among the outstanding events in Blue Tri this year have been the joint training meeting with the Hi-Y, the Mothers' and Daughters’ Tea, the Recognition Service at the Y., and the two senior farewells at Pastime and Lyman. The service projects for this year were: the making of slippers, of scrapbooks, and of valentines for the children of General Hospital, and the keeping of the lost and found at our school.

He has been well assisted in this work by the presidents of the different groups: Mill Shaw, Band; Nettie Larson, Orchestra; and Rosemary Hondlik, Choir. These groups participated in various programs: their work has always been most creditable.

Perhaps the greatest project undertaken by the music department was the production ol “Martha,” an opera with a Viennese setting. Leading roles were played by Marvice Archamho, Shirley Bird, Dave Cheney, Joanne Edwards, Roger Hoffman, Rosemary Hondlik, Mary Riley, Bill Shaw, Eva Taggatz, Ruth Van Duscn, and Markcy Van Lander. Along with this presentation, extra numbers were given by the choir, hand, and swing hand. The West High A Capclla Choir, under the direction of Mr. Peter Tkach, presented an Easter program in our auditorium. In exchange for this, the Southwest Choir and Orchestra took “Martha” to West. Mr. Charles Wohlford has. during the past semester, assisted Mr. Roam by taking over the chorus classes. 11c has done a grand job in preparing the underclassmen for membership in the choir. CHARLES WO� ILKORI Chorus 53 PefuodieoA de. noticiad. Havi you fcVKR dropped into the little annual room off the stage? If so, you'll know what a “mad house it always is. The calls of where is it?” and why isn't it in?” arc only minor distractions to the people who arc working there. On entering the room you arc confronted by the disagreeable odor of rubber cement, which the members of the staff arc carefully pouring over huge cardboards. As the room becomes darker and colder, on account of the approaching storm, you wish it isn’t vacation so that the building can be heated and the switch board working again. The sixteen inch rulers poke your eyes out as the layout staff draws intricate designs. The camera men worry about the shortage of film, and the advertising staff wonder why people won't buy ads even if their business is booming. The business manager calmly adds, “Why pay for the book anyway?” Nevertheless, we really have had a wonderful time assembling this book; we hope you enjoy it!

Onci every month we have a special home room period for the purpose of distributing the Southwest Arrow, the ollicial school publication. lire week before the publication of the paper, room 211 is alive and buzzing with activity. Dashing about the room, haggard editors scream for an unfinished story, the cm ruler, the headline schedule, a certain proof, or their page plans. While unpasted proofs and scraps of paper arc lying on the tables, someone is sure to open the door or the window. This is particularly nerve-wracking for the staff. Soon the editors arc ready to take the paper down to the printers, a duty that is considered a special delight by almost all. After setting type all morning, the group seeks its noon repast at the ever-charming Bix’s. Usually, a trip to some interesting place such as the Armory or the Hennepin County Morgue follows. After the noontime sojourn, the group returns to the printers and sjxmds the afternoon setting type, watching a | agc take shape, and proof-reading completed | agcs. The following day, the paper is distributed and the vicious cycle described above is soon repeated. All in all, being a member of the Arrow staff is an interesting and enjoyable experience.
