tyold IReuA £cUtio«t ANNUAL PUBLICATION OF SOUTHWEST HIGH SCHOOL MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA Prologue In 1849, the year of the California Gold Rush, many small towns sprang up over night. These towns were independent of one another and functioned within themselves. Have you ever stopped to think that the school forms a community in itself? Now, in 1949, the community of Southwest is a small town in reality. Just as the miners in 1849 had to work together to have a good town, we. in 1949, have to work together to have a good school, one we can enjoy attending for four years. Competent leadership is necessary. The school is self-governing through its Student Council as the mining town was through its officers. The town consisted of people of many types, many creeds, and many personalities, as our school community does. We have chosen Jack as a typical high school boy of 1949 and Clem as a young The Law . .Administration 4-7 The Foremen . . Faculty 8-1 1 Prospectors . . . . Underclassmen 12-23 Greenhorns . .

As Clem came to the mining town young and inexperienced, new to the West and eager to learn. . . . Jack, our Freshman, came to Southwest. Come along with us and follow their progress. SEE THE PARALLEL BETWEEN 1849 and 1949! The Low Both our friends found that no matter where they went, law and order had to be maintained, and that every worthwhile community had to have a governing body. Clem found the leadership in his town, Indian Junction, consisted of the sheriff and a town marshal. These two officers were sorely taxed to enforce the law. Gamblers, exconvicts. rustlers, and desperadoes crowded the West. Often it was kill or be killed. With the passing of time, however, the citizens and the government became more stable and progressive. Of course, the school community does not have such serious problems as those of Indian Junction, but there are times when student spirit goes out of bounds and must be controlled. Jack discovered Southwest has a Principal and Faculty to guide the life of the school to the advantage of the greatest number. For in a democracy, the majority rules. m C. C.

The Foremen Clem, inexperienced and incompetent. knew he could never learn all there was to know about prospecting alone, so he enlisted the aid of his friend, Uncle Bill, a veteran miner with a head full of tales about the wild west and a touch for human understanding. Just as Uncle Bill trained Clem in the art of panning gold, our teachers supply us with the tools for acquiring knowledge. They, too, must understand their pupils in order to 3'ive them a truly helpful preparation for living. FACULTY COUNCIL row: M,„ Williams. M.ss Walkup. Mr. Mm,v. Mis, Kc.ta Mrs. Z.r.lrmaa.

He was amazed at the activity and determination of the citizens in this booming area. As a tenderfoot, he had to prove his honesty, stamina, and courage before he was accepted. Freshmen are the tenderfeet of the high school community. They seek, not gold as Clem did, but book learning and social confidence. Jack came to Southwest in September and found a little community very new and strange to him. He marveled at the many people, their talk and clothes. In a short time he sensed a different spirit in this high school. Here, as in the West, there was a definite goal and a constant striving to attain it. He shyly attended the Freshman-Sophomore party and sat in his corner, afraid to ask a girl to dance, or else played cards with his boy friends all evening. He went to his first football game and sat quietly. By the second quarter he found himself cheering as loudly for the Purple and White as any senior. Now he noticed that working and playing bound the older students together with unbreakable ties. Gradually his desire grew to become a useful member of this hard-working and friendly community.

Both feel themselves old members. They fit into the routine of life. Though they may not be the most important nor the most popular persons in their communities, each has his own niche in the group and his part to play in the community life.

They are still striving for success. They find that they have more work to do each year. As they become more mature, new responsibilities are placed upon them. They shoulder these responsibilities well and continue striving towards their respective goals.

Vigilantes Clem had little time to spend in organizations, and even if he had had the time it was doubtful if there would be a sroup to suit his interests. He might join a Vigilante chapter or a miners' association. The western women could join sewing circles or temperance movements. Jack is more fortunate. He has his choice of numerous fine groups: Latin Club, Christian Fellowship, Hi-Y groups, lunchroom monitors, V.A.C., and many others. In these organizations he has the opportunity to meet people and make new friends. These groups give him the chance to improve his personality. Jack s sister may join Blue or Silver Tri, G.A.A., or serve as a library and office helper. These organizations help the school to mold the students into good leaders and make them better citizens of their community. L 24] PAR-0 Hl-y Row I: Mr. Pearson. Charles Howard.

With a paper to put out every three weeks, the Arrow room is always a place of excitement. Because of crowded quarters, the Staff moved into room 212. Now they have adequate space for all the Staff, and also a blackboard which enables Mrs. Zitt to keep track of her roving reporters. Hard work is rewarded on such occasions as Valentine's Day and Christmas, for Mrs. Zitt always pops up with a nice fresh box of candy and declares a holiday. The Staff has tried hard to put out a good paper. The News Staff agree that if they had their lives to live over, they’d still devote their genius to the Southwest Arrow.

Zittleman C333 Annual Staff A man works from sun to sun, but the annual staff's work is never done, from first hour, when we had the inspiring music of the band until sixth hour when we had the delightful perfume of the gym class to spur us on to greater things, the staff members have been diligently at work behind locked doors. We have struggled with unwilling camera subjects, lubber cement, and sub-zero temperatures . . . but undaunted ... we have always Iwell. almost alwaysf come out on top. One of our biggest headaches has been the problem of finances. To ease this headache, we have sponsored the sale of book covers, held a paper sale, and given a sunlight dance. Being on the annual doesn't mean all work and no play, though. We have had our share of good times. Although it has been hard work, we feel that it has been well worth our effort. The staff of the Gold Rush edition wish to give packets of gold dust to Mrs. Lillian Hastings for her expert advice on our art work, to Mr. Art Segal and Mrs. Byron Robertson of the Bureau of Engraving, to Mr. A. E. Carlson of Lund Press, and to Aagard Studios in appreciation for their co-operation and hard work in helping to make this book possible.

This year it has an outstanding list of achievements to its record. A new project promoted by the council was a Leadership Conference at which outstanding students talked over problems of the school and community. As an outgrowth of this, the council has approved the setting up of a Leadership Club to assist in carrying out school projects. Work on the Save the Children Federation' was continued this year with a clothing drive at Thanksgiving. About a ton of supplies was collected, part of which went to Southwest’s adopted school in Finland. Thank-you letters, snapshots, and water colors were received in return from the school. Two new social events were added to the many which the council annually sponsors. The Holiday Hop at Christmas and a barn dance were held in addition to the regulars—a football opener, a Hallowe'en open house, and a Valentine’s Dance. Southwest parents were given a chance to see student government in action at the demonstration council meeting held at the PTA Open House. Another demonstration meeting was held before the students, and a third for a group of city teachers making a study of democracy in education. The Student Council does not limit its activities to the school. It is an active member of the All-City Council, the Hennepin County Student Council Organization, the State Federation, and the Northwest Federation of Student Councils.

The Ethics Committee, which is set up by the Student Council, acts as a counselling body for students who break the rules of the school. It is composed of two seniors, two juniors, one sophomore, and one freshman. Students are called before the committee for offenses such as loitering in the halls, and not obeying the rules of the lunchroom and study hall. Those required to appear are asked to co-operate in obeying school rules. Their offenses are recorded in the office. C35] Turkey in the Straw The music which Clem loved and sang was influenced by the occupations of the western folk and the condition of the land in that area. He was particularly fond of mining, cowboy and mountaineer songs. Only two instruments were available to the miners at Clem's camp. They were the banjo and piano. The life of a miner was often very lonesome, and the music served as a great help in filling the empty hours. Jack knows many of Clem's songs and he likes them, too: but today's music is diversified. Anything from be-bop to Bach can be appreciated by a Southwest student. Jack has also learned to appreciate foreign folk songs and thus to understand other peoples through their music. Fine music courses are offered in all the schools of today to insure a more rounded education. Glee Club Row I: Ann Christenson. Phyllis Johnson, Nancy McAdams. Connie Gamclgard Marilyn Jensen.

Choir Mr. Dahle gave the downbeat and thus began another successful year for the Southwest Choir. Only through intensive hours of practice can a repertoire be prepared for concert singing. Members of the Choir learn the effectiveness of co-operation and teamwork as quickly as do the boys on the gridiron or the diamond. This year the Choir gave many concerts. They sang at the Grafii Club. National Campers of America. Dayton's presentation of art awards. Rotary Club, dedication of Mount Olivet Church. Hennepin Avenue Methodist Church. University of Life, and at South. Washburn, and Central High Schools. L383 Row I: Ma� gic Pcaiton. Marlene Show. Connie Morch. Susan Jobet Carole Butch. Joanie Hogan Barbaro Bcrglund, 8onnic Olton.

The highlights of the year, however, were the programs the Choir gave on the home stage. Fred Waring's Song of Christmas was beautifully staged with some assistance from the Speech classes. The annual Spring Concert was another great success with guest conductors from all over the city. The Choir also took part in the Spring Revue as the principals and chorus in the Southwest production of Showboat. The Choir and Mr. Dahle deserve a great deal of credit and appreciation from the entire Southwest student body for the citywide good will directed at Southwest through them. 1 1 SJS S r a Bronco Busters The sports of the gold miners and of the whole West were much the same as their occupations. There were riding, roping, and bronco busting. Clem is active in all these sports because he knows there is more to be gained from life than just panning gold. He realizes the value of being physically alert and gaining new interests for mental health. Jack has a wider variety of sports to choose from. Football, basketball, track, swimming, hockey, golf, tennis, cross country, and baseball help our boys to develop alert minds and healthy bodies so that they may be better prepared to take an active part in their community life. They learn teamwork and co-operation. They gain the true meaning of sportsmanship. It teaches them that, although, they cannot always win, they are achieving the purpose of the sport by playing fair and to the utmost of their ability. C oj Top: State Champions Bottom: City Champion Capt. Jim Hancock Cross Country Minneapolis Southwest has always been a name to be feared in state cross country circles, but never so much as this year. From excellent material. Coach Halley molded the finest team the state has ever seen. They defeated West 17-45; Roosevelt 20-35: Henry 20-42; Washburn and Edison in a triangular 21-48-64; and Duluth Central 15-46. Coach Halley took six boys to Duluth to defeat Duluth Denfield's Hunters 2l, 2 35l 2. for the high light dual meet of the season. In the city meet, by the efforts of Jim Hancock, Dave Wilson. Bob Darr. Allen Latham, and next year's captain. Dick Hancock, all of whom finished in the first eight, the Indians ran up the low score of 22 points, breaking the old city record by 15 seconds. Coach Halley's charges reached their peak in the state meet, turning back all comers, with 41 points. Jim Hancock ran the 1.8 mile course in 9 minutes. 1.7 seconds, shattering the old record time by 35 seconds. Dave Wilson in fourth place. Jerry Thomas in ninth. Dick Hancock in thirteenth, and Allen Latham in fourteenth gave the Indians their third straight state crown. Row I: 8ob Lee, Franci Gucrtin Bob Darr.

Football The Southwest Gridsters. under Coach Jerry Sullivan got off to a slow start in the 1948-49 football season, bowing to a speedy Henry eleven 26-0 at Pershing field. This setback, however, did not dampen the spirits of the Indians as they bounced back the following week to tie a favored Washburn team 6-6. The score of this game does not adequately tell the story of the Indian's amazing drive. They continually outplayed and outfought Washburn showing what fine work the Southwest eleven could do. In the thi'd game of the season Marshall, proving too strong for the Purple and White, won by a 26-7 margin. The next week the Indians were idle as the result of a malicious prank by unknown persons. This resulted in the cancellation of most of Central's homecoming activities. The following week our homecoming was curtailed to the same extent. Swinging back into action, the Indian gridders met North s Polars as part of Southwest's homecoming festivities. In a thrilling struggle for the pigskin, the Indians were forced to a 12-7 loss. The only win of the season was a 26-13 victory over Vocational. In this game, sparked by John Ederer's touchdowns and Dick Schillinger $ drive, the Purple and White took revenge for past defeats. In the last game of the season the Indians fell by the way-side as they were defeated by South 15-7 in a steady downpour. Gold dust should be awarded to outstanding players John Ederer, Dick Schillinger. Bob Zerban, and Al Hitch who gave the team its drive: nuggets go to DuWayne Deitz. Irv Cornwall, Jack Bredt, and Art Hill who really sparked the defense. Not to be forgotten are Russ Ordway and Bill Pierson, who helped make the 1948 season a good one.

Basketball The Southwest cagers of 1949 fought an uphill battle through an extremely tough high school basketball league and managed to pull out only two wins in eight starts. The Indians got off to a spectacular start by upsetting North, last year s city champs, to the close score of 28-27. Jerry Connolly was the star of this tilt as he dropped the winning free throw in the closing seconds of the game. For the next straight six games, the Southwest basketballers failed to scratch the winning column. They faced Roosevelt and Marshall in rapid succession; losing 33-44 and 40-45 respectively. Edison’s rough-and-ready cagers handed the Indians their third loss of the season to the tune of 33-20. During the next three weeks. Central overpowered the Indians 26-35: West followed suit 42-47; and the Volts shorted the Redmen 43-37. In the last game of the season. Southwest outfought the Henry Patriots and came through with a 52-49 victory. Don Dosen and Jack Bredt, both playing beautiful ball, supplied the needed scoring punch. Coach Bill Adams' outstanding players were Biil Rawlings, center, who supplied a good number of the points: Jerry Connolly, forward, who added speed and polish to the team: and Don Dosen, a scrappy player who furnished the necessary spark for his teammates. Other outstanding boys were Dick Lesch. Jack Bredt, Allen Hitch, Bill Daly and John Myers. B SQUAD—Row I: Ronnie Carmichael. Ronald Weit. Ed Clay. John Rosiiter, Mario Santriro .

Chuck Brace George Nugent and Jim Hogan Swimming For the first time in the history of Southwest High School, the swimming team has been out of the top three places in final city standings. The mermen dropped six and won four, to land in seventh place. Close meets were lost to both West and Marshall as the Indians lacked individual stars. Next year's team looks strong, but it will sorely miss outstanding lettermen Glenn Lewis, George Nugent, and Jim Hogan. Newton Bowers proved himself beyond all doubt the outstanding paddler of the team. He swam the longest race in city competition, the 220 yard free style, and was the most consistent winner. Newt was elected next year's captain. Row I: Newton Bowers. Don HuKord. Jim Strawn, Mr. Pederson. Jim Ru9S Earl Strciti Mike Ha9berg. Row 2: Jim Hogan. Chuck Guthrie. Dick Schillingcr, Jack Lacy.

Hockey Although not as powerful as preseason dope indicated, the Indian hockey squad was not to be trifled with. They dumped Blake in the only non-conference game. 2-1. However, the Indians could not keep up this pace, and lost the next three conference battles. With hard work and a revamping of the lineup. Southwest managed to finish the season with one win and two ties, a respectable showing. Captain Bob Pratscher did an exceptional job as goalie for the Indians. He was aided by the fine playing of Bob Passolt, both on offense and defense. It must be remembered, however, that it takes six men to put a team on ice and the other boys deserve as much credit as the two mentioned. Capt.

Track Southwest's track prospects seemed indeed bright, as nine lettermen returned from a 1948 team that placed third in the city and fourth in the state. There was John Ederer who, by virtue of his being Carleton champion in both hurdles and the discus, undoubtedly could be called the best trackman in the state. Coach Halley considered Bob Zerban a better shot prospect than Byrl Thompson, and he was among the very best in the dashes and discus. Jim Hancock was one of the state s better milers. Bob Darr was up there in the half. All those who had ever bested Kent Nielsen in the 440 had graduated. In addition to these top men. there were veterans Chuck Purdy. Bill Daly, and Russ Ordway in the hurdles. Jack Silburn, Art Hili, Mike Devine, and Ron Shirk were back in the dashes, while the experienced distance men were Dick Hancock. Allen Latham, Bob Lee. Dave Wilson, and Don Meter. To help out in the weights were DuWayne Dietz and Harry Santrizos, while Don Dosen and Ron Carmichael vaulted. People began to wonder if anyone could beat this track team. Then the injuries set in. Ederer developed a chronic hip ailment that kept him from hurdling the first few meets of this season, and even longer from throwing the discus. In the Washburn dual, Zerban pulled a muscle in his leg which kept him from his starring roles in the dashes. Nielsen broke his arm and was out the entire season. Hancock was hurt in a skiing accident in late February which hospitalized him for two weeks, but he came back much faster than anyone expected. In the first meet of the season, a dual with Northfield. the Indians were victorious by the score of 67, 2-27i 2. Double wins were registered by Purdy and Zerban, one of the latter's coming on a herculean 50 foot effort in the shot. In the Metropolitan meet, Zerban, Purdy. Darr. and the 880-yard relay team combined to give the Purple 16 points, good for second place. The only Indian first was Zerban in the shot. The Indians were nosed out in the all-important dual with Washburn by the close score of 59-54. Washburn's strength in the hurdles, jumps, and dashes had neutralized the Indian superiority in the distances and the weights when the meet was temporarily halted by a cloudburst, with the score 54-all. Then the Orange-clad men copped the 880-yard relay and walked off with the meet. Southwest gained partial revenge by defeating Washburn and Roosevelt in a triangular relay meet by 88-64-47. No team used its full strength as all were saving it for the City Relays three days hence. Early in May, it is clear that Coach Hailey will again furnish Southwest with a track team that it never need be ashamed of. Capt. John and his flying saucer.

The team line-up consists of catchers Dick Schulz and Fred Bayerle. at first base Bob Pratscher, at second base is Jim Williams, at short stop Bill Pierson, and at third base Stan Palmer and Ernie Blume. The outfield is made up of Bob Passolt. Jack Bredt. John Myers, and Bob Sheplee. The mound duties are to be handled by Jerry Connolly. Fred Hanson, and Dick Anderson. The Indian nine has a full schedule with twenty games to play, including both practice and regular. Strike one! Grin. Andy! C™] Connolly pitches. Toss it. Capt. Bill. Tennis Southwest's tennis team this year is made up largely of new, unseasoned material. For this reason Coach Evan Haahiem says they won't win any championships, but they will win a number of matches. Last year's team, which tied for first in the city, was entirely made up of seniors with the exception of Don Hufford. a sophomore. Therefore. Hufford, the only returning letterman. forms the nucleus around which the 1949 team has been built. George Jackish is this year's captain. C51 □ Hope I hit it.' Cornwall get set. Think it over.

Bernie Thompson, and Don Dosen took the Twin Cities title, also. Competition is going to be very stiff this season as nearly all the schools in the city have outstanding players. The Indian team, comprised of four boys, doesn't look too bad with Capt. Don Dosen the first man and Tom Taylor in the number two spot.

S Club The $ Club is made up of all boys who have received their letter in one of the various athletic sports at Southwest. Although the club was not very active this past year, its purposes are to encourage boys to participate in athletics: to advertise athletic contests: to create good fellowship among letter winners; to regulate the wearing of the $ and to help sponsor an athletic banquet each semester.

Meet your honey and promenade home.' These were familiar words to Clem and his friends. Barn dancing, box lunch socials, hayrides. and church gatherings formed his chief source of social entertainment. Jack, too, sometimes barn dances; but he does not regard it as relaxation. His favorite form of dancing is a slow rhythmic walk of a fast smooth lindy. He has a greater variety of other recreation, too. Of course, hayrides and picnics still are high on his list, but along with these are bowling, swimming. movies, skating, sailing and golf. C 54 3 Beauty on parade! Prize Indians! Temper, temper!

Two cast parties followed the performances, one at Don Sandberg's and the other at Carolyn Blicker's . . . and then the Bums' Brawl where everybody came dressed as hobos. These various class parties showed the friendly spirit that united the class throughout the year. In June came the class banquet with its Centennial theme and old-fashioned garden party . . . and the class day with its gay auditorium . . . and last of all. Commencement, with the seniors walking down the aisle to the familiar strains of Pomp and Circumstance. heads high, looking into the future—one hundred-ninety-seven graduates headed towards the Paths of Tomorrow.

Mrs. Boylan, who was also his English teacher, directed the play. The World Premiere was given on March 24 and 25, 1949. Bob Pratscher, Bunny Whitney, Russ Ordway. and Jane Olson played the leads. The Annual Staff did a little snooping and found this in a diary: None of the cast will ever forget the long six weeks of rehearsals every night after school, Mrs. B. tapping her stick, going over the same line and same scene time after time. DRESS REHEARSAL, putting on grease paint for the first time, and how nervous we were on opening night. Remember how we all had our fingers crossed until the audience started laughing. The play wasn't all work, though. Can we ever forget how Lesch's grease paint turned him yellow, how much trouble Sugar had keeping her padding in the right place. Bredt and Pulver's entrances and original lines, the club scene, the encores, Carlston's clever quip. Look, Bob's blushing, and a proud mother's tears. Remember the best of all: the class play parties, one at Sanberg's house after the opening performance—how glad we all were that the play went off so well. The other at Carolyn Blicker’s on Friday night . . . Beha executing acrobatics, Chappell turning domestic . . . ironing Dick’s shirt on the breadboard. This play party turned out to be a regular senior party. The play was truly a senior class play. Eighty-eight seniors served on committees, and deserve as much credit as the ninety-seven who did the actual acting. The play, which broke the attendance records of all previous years, received approximately one-hundred and eighty laughs. (This figure cannot be definitely relied upon since a biased student was responsible for the counting). FRIDAY CAST Row I: Dave Cailston, Dick Anderson. Row 2: Jeanne 8ccker.
