A pilgrim, going a lone highway Came at evening, cold and gray To a chasm, deep and vast and wide. The old man crossed in the twilight dim. The chasm held no fears for him But he paused when he reached the other side And built a bridge to span the tide. Old Man. said a fellow pilgrim near. Why waste your time in building here? Your journey ends with the close of day You never again will pass this way. You've crossed the chasm deep and wide Why build ye here at eventide? The pilgrim raised his old gray head. My friend, in the path I've come. he said. There followeth after me today A fair haired youth who must pass this way. The chasm which held no fears for me To the fair haired youth may a pitfall be. He. too, must cross in the twilight dim. My friend, I am building this bridge for him. Will A. Dromgoole Mr. Robert H. Claston. Principal: Mr. Albert Halley. Atiiitant to the Principal. To the Graduating Class of 1953 An important stage in your lives has been reached. High School graduation marks one of the top rungs of the ladder that carries you from youth to young adulthood. Where you go from here will be determined by what you have done in the past as well as by what you determine to do in the future. Life ahead should be regarded as the task of making the most of yourselves, and success will come to those of you who regard your lives as something to create rather than to find. Existence is what we find. The important business of making a successful life involves taking that existence and organizing it around careful plans and definite purposes. R. H.

The people who put in these long hours are the office clerks, the kitchen, and janitorial staffs. The busy clerks have spent much time going over, and scheduling programs, making out attendance records, and helping in any way that they can. The delicious peanut butter cookies that the kitchen staff prepares are only one of the many tasty desserts that arc served with the plate lunches. Bright and early every morning the cooks can be seen in the kitchen starting their daily routine, and it is midafternoon before they are through with the dishes and other duties. The janitorial staff hums with activity; sweeping the halls, shoveling the walks, cleaning the baskets, and mowing the lawn. To these people who do so much in making our school a better place goes our utmost appreciation. OFFICE CLERKSâMu. Ma'garct Carlton, Mr . V.olo Drecttcn. M.tt Elaine Srandager. KITCHEN STAFFâMarv A.

Their classes were new and exciting. Their organizations, the Hi-Y and newly organized freshmen clubs, drew many members. Besides having a lot of fun they did many useful things.

While sports and Hi-Y took up most of the time of the boys, the sophomore girls were busy with their four clubs. This year their project was to help needy families at Christmas, by raising money, selling candy, and baked goods. NOT PICTURED Ayers. Leo Bcirstcin, Carol Bielland.

James Wentworth, Colyer Class of 1954 1952-53 has been a successful year for the ambitious junior class. A party and an auditorium were planned and were accepted enthusiastically by the class. The outcome of the election for boys' and girls' State representatives was as follows: Paula Ewald and Jerry McNcal, with Rhea Gass and Bob Christenson, their alternates. Being well organized, with a junior council and officers, the class has a promising start for next year. The slogan the juniors have chosen is We'll do more in '54. Alberti.

The editors were heavily burdened by a number of troubles, such as: meeting deadlines, cutting and pasting boards, getting pictures taken, dreaming up new copy, and the eternal problem of financing. The selling of book covers, pictures, and Homecoming buttons, and the sponsoring of the first and biggest dance of the season, the Football Opener, helped solve these financial problems. Hard work and persistence helped overcome the other obstacles and what was once a dream is now a reality. One of the highlights of the year was the Arrow-Annual Banquet which was held at the Rainbow on May 20. The combined staffs had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed exchanging quips. The 1953 Wagistanian staff would like to thank Miss Neison, their advisor, whose helpful suggestions and criticisms were indispensable. Also: Mrs. Robertson and Mr. Segal of the Bureau of Engraving: Mr. Carlson of the Lund Press; the lundgren Studios: and the Minneapolis Star and Tribune for their much appreciated help. The editors, together with the staff and their advisor, take great pride in presenting to you the 1953 Wagistanian. STAFF_S)ttin9- Maiy Machula Dona Ofdal, Ihleen Wold. Ann Morgan.

This is the cry frequently heard from the News ' room. The reason for this is that the 1953 Arrow staff is no different from any previous staff with respect to raising plants. Aside from this, however, they have been very busy. This year's Arrows have been bigger and better than ever. There has only been one four page paper, with most Arrows averaging six pages. The staff feels that this is quite an accomplishment and are very proud of it. In order to have more money on hand for these bigger papers, the staff has sold pennants and bells at Homecoming, and collected money for ads. The majority of their finances come from the dues collected at the beginning of the semesters. Over the Thanksgiving vacation Judy Nelson. Evelyn Scheftel. and Janet Mikelson went to the National Press Conference in Chicago. They attended meetings and brought back many helpful hints which have aided the staff in putting out better papers. Upon question-ing. the girls will go into a long dissertation about the many things which they learned. Many sounds can be heard coming from the Arrow room on the day preceding a deadline. As the staff frantically tries to get their copy ready for the printer they create a rather wild bedlam. Although this occurs frequently the deadline is always met and the papers continue to come through better than ever. The efficiency of the staff and the helpfulness of their advisor, Mrs. Zittleman, are prime factors in this year's Arrows. EDITORSâSeated: Janet Mikelson.

Jerry McNeal Achievement is, without doubt, the most popular word in the Southwest Student Council vocabulary. The many achievements of this year included: concession sales at football games: the raising of money for CARE: a clothing drive for the Save the Children Federation : and the annual Washburn-Southwest Leadership Conference. On the lighter side such events as Homecoming, an exchange dance with Washburn, and a Match-Me Hop were planned by the council and accepted by the student body with great enthusiasm. Some of the outstanding leaders were Tom Kass-mir, who was elected Vice President of the All State Student Council, and Ihleen Wold and Howie Cam-mack. who represented Southwest in the all-city student council. Southwest students wish to congratulate President Jay Dregni and advisor. Mr. Evan Haaheim. for the splendid 10b done in promoting activities for the general welfare of the school. â˘ottom DxireJ,LoSk,eM V ⢠s Will,Row 2: TÂŤd Colbum jerry Tom SMIma- Rob- -.cU Mu, Hume Row J: Tom Wendland.

Southwest may once again boast the best in cheerleaders. As in previous years, this Student Council sponsored group has put pep and bounce into the many hockey, football, and basketball games. These girls, led by captain, Barbara Heller, have been cheerful and exuberant whether the team was winning or losing. As a reward for the cheerleadersâ efforts and hard work, the Student Council is looking into the possibility of getting new uniforms for the girls. A committee, composed of Howie Cammack and two non-cheerleaders, was appointed to look into the problem. It is hoped that by next year, the Southwest cheerleaders will have uniforms as nice as those of any school. After two years of service, cheerleaders are awarded a letter, given in their senior year. Shirley Hoit received a letter and Barbara Heller a star, this year. Tryouts, which were held in May, found competent girls and boys to take the place of the graduation seniors, and it looks like the 53-54 squad will be extremely capable. Flag Twirlers The presence of flag twirlers highlighted many athletic events in 1952. Twirling at Southwest hasnât been attempted since 1949. During the summer, several girls were having a social get together and during their conversation came upon the idea of renewing flag twirling. They spoke to Mr. Mendenhall and he willingly agreed to coach them. After practicing many long hours during the summer months, their thoughts turned to uniforms. Purple and white in the form of pedal pushers and sweaters was adopted. These they made themselves. After they graduate, the girls plan to give the uniforms to the school, in hopes that flag twirling will become a tradition at Southwest.

Because of the large enrollment the group split into four chapters, each chapter having thirty members. The year was a big success with such social events as a picnic at Lyman Lodge, a fashion show with girls from Silver Tri modeling, and a recognition dinner. This latter was held at Southwest and its purpose was to honor old and new members and to acquaint the new members with the organization. In the early spring a panel to discuss dating problems was formed for one of the meetings. The panelists, who were two boys from each Southwest class, made a big hit and gave the girls much to talk about. To raise money. Silver Tri sponsored two dances: the Valentine dance with the help of the Hi-Y. and a Freshmen-Sophomore frolic. The officers. President. Barbara Telander; Vice President. Maxine Reynolds; Secretary. Sue Scott: Treasurer. Sandy Prieve. did a wonderful job in keeping the organization going and in helping the members have such wonderful times together that they agree it was the grandest year ever.

C24D Blue Tri Turn over a new leaf and join' was the Blue Tri membership slogan for 1952 53. This active organization is part of the Young Women's Christian Association and has clubs in every city high school Through Blue Tri every junior and senior girl has an opportunity to serve her school and community. Mrs. Alice Skinner of the YWCA and Miss Mary Lou Walkup, our librarian, advisors, helped the girls plan a variety of activities beginning with a football refresher, which featured John Donnelly and John Hamilton as speakers. A Christmas tea brought in money to help a needy family have a more enjoyable holiday season. Three of the most successful social projects were the bowling party followed by a spaghetti dinner, a progressive dinner which consisted of fou courses, and a joint picnic with Washburn Hi-Y. A spring style show presented by Daytons and managed by Kay Umheofer gave the girls a preview of spring fashions. The traditional Senior Farewell which was held at Lyman Lodge was packed full of fun and entertainment. The members and their president. Margie Swanson, feel they experienced a very successful year.

G.A.A., the largest active organization in Southwest. started the year with a bang by having a volley ball tournament which began early in September and finished October 20. More than one hundred and fifty girls participated and the competition was extremely keen. Diligent practice by the swimming team paid off. as they were victorious in the city preliminary interscholastic meet. Some of the outstanding swimmers were Ann Sullivan, Barbara Gratton. Alice Benjamin, and Patti Hall. A highlight for many of the girls was the coming of the golf season and the three golf professionals who came to Southwest to teach them some valued techniques. The golf team, captained by Judy Peabody. had a wonderful year. The girls were pretty green when the season began, but midway they looked like a troupe of professionals. The annual badminton tournament featured Sue Scott. Elaine Dyste. Jane Bosch, and Phyllis Rainey as finalists. The girls work under an extreme handicap, because of our lack of gym space, and are to be congratulated on their athletic achievements. Mrs. Elinor Baylon, director of the group, is to be given a hand for her excellent athletic teams and the individual instruction she gives to the members of the Girls Athletic Association. bottom Row: Margie S-antO Ann Sullivan.

The junior council has planned many class activities throughout the year which have added to the success and enjoyment of the class. A highlight of the year was the election of officers. A fall party set spirits off to a good start. The spring party featured folic, square, and social dancing. The lunior class officers helped in planning the JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM. This year's debate team, with Mr. Inglcbrct coaching. was the largest they have ever had. It consists of fifteen debaters who completed against teams in Duluth, Saint Cloud. Eau Claire. Macalester and Concordia Colleges, Mankato, and Northfield. The team took part in 106 debates. The team took part in the region debates and walked off with second place. Members from each homeroom compose the Junior Red Cross Organization whose main job is to raise money for the annual Red Cross Drive. This year the grand total of $171 was collected. Titian. a movie showing the life of Michelangelo, was presented as a reward to the student body for their fine cooperation. Every homeroom was given two boxes which they filled for the needy children in European Schools. Parlez-vous-francais?' That, of course, is Greek, rather French, to most of us. But the members of Entre Nous. Southwest's French Club, know very well that it means, 'Do you speak French?' Every month the members gather at one another's homes speaking French and planning future activities such as a Christmas tea. the viewing of French slides and the playing of French games.

The Athletic Board S Club The Athletic Board is composed of the coaches and captains of the various sports, the faculty manager, equipment manager, and the school principal. The board, with Mr. Halley as chairman, is designed to discuss and supervise all athletic regulations. The coaches recommend those boys who are qualified for an S. The names are brought before the board where the eligibility of the recommended boys is ruled. The S' Club is made up of all the boys who have received their letter in one of the various athletic sports at Southwest. The purpose of the club is to encourage boys to participate in athletics; to advertise athletic contests; to create good fellowship among letter winners; and to help sponsor an athletic banquet each semester. The fall athletic banquet featured Francis (Pug) Lund, former All American football player. At the spring banquet, John Mariucci, University of Minnesota Hockey Coach, spoke to the group.  CLU8âRcw I: Tom Weinberso. mW.9aâ ..v-a.u yammoc . om nostmir j0nn Donnelly.

Dahle, has upheld its reputation as an outstanding choral group. by presenting many excellent and enjoyable concerts throughout the year. The year began with a Thanksgiving program, and during the holiday season the TV cameras reflected the choir as they sang the Song of Christmas. which was also the highlight of the annual Christmas program. Later in the year, a concert was given for the Edina business men, and much hard work was put toward the Elijah. The sponsoring of a dance and carnival helped pay for the memorable and exciting spring concert tour to Chicago. The choir was enthusiastically accepted in Chicago and Lake Forest, Illinois, and in Hammond and Gary. Indiana. They also enjoyed some interesting educational tours between concerts. The choir presented its annual Spring Concert, took part in the Spring Revue. Nautical But Nice, and sang for the Kiwanis Club. This year was concluded by singing in the community program at Lake Harriet Pavilion, and the Senior s Baccalaureate program. Mr. Dahle's outstanding work has helped in developing a choir which has done so much to gain recognition for Southwest High School. Bottom Row: Peabody Nelson, Pratt Bamc Sanders, Aanes, Machula.

The play was presented on December 4 and 5 to a packed audience. Our Miss Brooks, a take-off on the radio script, depicts school-life in its amusing everyday form. The plot consists of the trials and tribulations that students and teachers encounter while trying to cast a senior class play. The main characters are: Miss Brooks, a teacher; Mr. Wadsworth, the principal: Hugo, the coach; and Ted and Jane, senior students. As the curtain opens, we find Ted and Miss Brooks in the midst of a torrid discussion, during the course of which the latter discovers she is to coach the class play. The situations resulting from this discovery provide two hours filled with laughter and teen-age experiences. The play, which is characteristic of school life, was a tremendous success, and Mrs. Boylan, our director, is to be congratulated on her fine work. First Row Seated: Shirley Ho-t.

A vision of endurance is this picture of Pat Aanes, Lois Bishop, and Florelle Miller. These girls are members of Miss Brinleyâs archery class. The fall elections provided much excitement here at Southwest in the form of a mock presidential election, sponsored by the Modern IH2] and Play Problems classes. Eisenhower was the victor and the student body had a riot electing him. We have many talented people in the field of art and their talent is greatly brought out by Mrs. Hastings. Here she and Phyllis VanderVort and Nancy Braden are chatting. The Girls' Glee Club had a very new addition this yearâa beautiful harp and a tremendous harpist. Diane Miller. The girls gather around the harp for a picture, and by the way, Mr. Dahle shot this picture. Chemistry, a chosen senior subject, makes many a scientist out of a budding protege. Mr. Pearson seems to be explaining something to Janet Reed and from the looks of things it might be a bit difficult. The seniors from Mrs. Boylanâs English classes had a difficult, but enjoyable term project. They each had to prepare and report on a world problem. It looks like Harry Young has the attention of all and a good grade is almost guaranteed. Athletics The Gridsters Seated: Tom Kaumir, Oon Berg John Hamilton. Dick Burnt, Bob Chmtionton, Torn Holt.

An underrated Southwest squad, using spirit and determination to combat a lack of depth and size, finished fourth in the city league this year. In the opening game, the Indians, with long runs by Tom Kassmir, ran over Roosevelt 13-0. A week later under the lights at the parade stadium, the gridsters turned in one of their best games of the season by blanking a highly rated Henry squad 12-0. In their next contest. Southwest played a fired-up Washburn rival 14-14. Bouncing back hard, the gridsters spoiled Marshallâs Homecoming 26-6. In their next game the Indians, plagued by costly fumbles, suffered their first defeat to a strong Central team 0-18. In the following game, a well-balanced North squad handed a fighting Southwest team its second defeat 19-33. Finding themselves once again in the final game, the Indians showed superior strength as they romped over Vocational 39-19. Two of Southwest's outstanding players were awarded positions on the All-City Team. They were Tom Kassmir, who captured the title of high scorer in Minneapolis, and who will long be remembered on the Southwest gridiron for his thrilling runs: and Co-Captain John Hamilton, who proved himself at line backer and offensive end. Co-Captain John Donnelly and fullback Don Berg placed on the second All-City Team. Bob Birch showed superb punting, which many times pulled Southwest out of a tight spot. Coaches Jerry Sullivan and Bill Adam are to be congratulated on their fine work with the squad. left lo  h : Coacn 3 111 Adam. John Donnelly. Tom Diet . Larry Johnson, Captain John Reichert.

The Hoopsters Lack of height proved a handicap this year as the hoopsters claimed only two victories in city competition. The boys played hard ball from the beginning, winning a thriller from Henry and staging a terrific comeback to beat Edison. After those two victories the Indians seemed to hit a slump which stayed with them the rest of the season. Standouts on the team were John Hamilton, who was tenth in scoring in the city; Tom Dietz, whose last second free throws won the Henry game; Larry Johnson, who showed his left handed long shot accuracy in many a game; and Captain John Reichert for the fine leadership. Promising juniors include Mel Andrews. Leo Johnson, and Jim Kneen. who should give experience to next year's squad. A very talented group of freshmen and sophomore boys, headed by Dave Myers. Chuck Colby. Ron McCombs. Sherman Stanchfield, Paul Youngdahl. and Roger Olson should also be an asset in the coming years.

These two players along with other freshmen and sophomore boys promise a well balanced team in the near future.

During the regular season only Roosevelt and Henry threatened the purple and white by tieing them in two thrilling hard-fought games. In the City play-offs, however, the blademen showed Championship style by out-skating Henry for the third consecutive City Title. 3-0. Meeting St. Paul Johnson for the Twin City Cham- C50] pionship. the pucksters pulled through with a close victory as wingman Duke Thomas tallied in the closing minute to record a 3-2 final score. In the State Tournament the Indians showed superior playing powers and it looked like a sure victory. However, mighty Eveleth once again, proved to be too strong and in the last period the game fell 2-1. Southwest was indeed proud when as a result of superb playmanship, co-captain Pete Passolt received State Honors. Nonchalant Newkiik Kool Kunert? 'Ay Round the Comer also placed on the All City team. Credit should be given to: our goalie and co-captain. Howie Cam-mack. who played heads up hockey in the nets throughout the year; Tom Hall, who convinced everyone that scrap and determination really pay off; Paul Kunert, who was a constant scoring threat; and Jack and Duke Thomas, both of whom were invaluable lettermen and who are returning next year. Mr. Paul Wohlford has every right to be extremely proud of his 1953 hockey team and Southwest has every right to be extremely proud of their wonderful coach. HOCKEy SCORES REGION 8 s.w.

This year proved no exception as the harriers turned in a perfect season, winning all dual meets and topping it off by capturing both city and state championships. From the first day out. the thinclads set a goal and never altered their course. Traveling to Duluth at midseason, the Indians, amidst wind and snow, ran to victory over Duluth Central. Placing four runners in the top five, the harriers swept the city meet, dethroning past champion Roosevelt. Reaching the summit at last, they ran on to state championship honors to finish an undefeated season. Starting stance Happy Harriers Miter McNeal CROSS COUNTRY â SEASON RECORD s.w.

Pacemakers The 1953 Southwest Track Squad, although lacking in potential, made up for this drawback with hard work and enthusiasm. Not once did this group of boys, led by Captain Tom Kassmir, take the field expecting defeat and more often than not they surprised their competitors with a remarkable performance. With such standouts as Tom Kassmir and Don Popovich in the dashes, Jerry McNeal in the mile and Skeets Berg in the pole vault, this year's team placed well in all of their meets.

Valedictorian and salutatorian are the two top scholastic honors in graduating classes. This year Janet Reed and John Donnelly, respectively, received these honors. Both have maintained an A average during their four years at Southwest besides participating in extra curricular activities. To wear gold braid at Commencement is a great honor and only those people with a B-f- average are entitled to this honor. The 1953 graduating class had thirteen people on the Honor Roll. All seniors look eagerly to the time when announcement of service awards is given. This year, as in other years, the awards went to those people with an excellent scholastic record plus outstanding leadership qualities. As the 1953 class marches down the Commencement aisle, these people are the people to whom they look for leadership and for encouragement.

SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Diana Daniel Howard Cammack Sergeant at Arm Tom Kastmir Treaiurer Sharon Hall Secretary There arc many thing that go into making a successful senior class ond one of the most important things is the leadership of that class. In view of the fact that officers are not elected first semester, the class is governed by the senior council. This council s composed of a boy and a girl from each home room. David Bowers was elected chairman of the group and preparations for senior activities began at once. There are many qualities that make a good leader and John Reichert definitely possesses these qualities. The combined forces of John and the other officers were a contributing factor in making the 1953 senior class such a success. Last, but certainly not least, come the committee chairmen who work so hard towards Commencement. Baccalaureate. Senior Banquet, and other social activities. Yes. there arc many thing that go into making a successful senior class and the 1953 graduates have these qualities. SENIOR COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN Seated: Eleanor Sanberg.

The girls are wearing white bux, saddle shoes, and cinch belts, while the boys choose Pendleton shirts, cashmere sweaters, and flannel slacks.
