FILMS KEPT THEM BUSY PHOTOGRAPHERS CLUB: L. Olson, T. Hovde, R. Duffy, J. Mishler, D. SEATED: B. Offerdahl, T. Crosgrove, B. Stamp, Weidenbach, E. Blackstad. D. Davis, C. Owens. STANDING: B. Nelson, When we enter a classroom and see a projector setting on a desk, we know that we will have an interesting hour. Will the film demonstrate an Eng- lish lesson? or will it be biology? or history? This is an interesting extra-curricular activity for boys. They leam how to run the tape recorders, movie projectors, and slide projectors. Without the work and time of these boys our visual aids department could not function smoothly. Our hats are off to this group of boys and Mr. Widmark, their adviser, for giving so much of their time for our benefit. Have you ever wondered where the pictures of events came from? Well, these are the photographers hard at work. Most of us do not realize how much work these boys really did during their free periods and their spare time. The pictures you are looking at right now are the product of the hard-working photography staff. The informal pictures usually were the most fun, especially when someone was found sleeping in class. Also they were on hand at all the sports events taking pictures for the paper. Without these boys there would be no pictures for the annual for the Saints Reporter, no pictorial record to whet your memory. Thanks to Mr. Stoesz for advising them in a difficult task. PROJECTIONISTS CLUB: SEATED: M. Nelson, L. Koenig, Mr. Widmark, D. Roxin. STANDING: H. Peyton, E. Johnson, L. Arnold, G. Johnson, K. Bjerke, L. Larson, K. Mollenhauer.

“HALF-NELSONS,” AND VICTORIES B Team Wrestlers: ROW 1: L. Seig, R. Helling, Jamieson, W. Kuper, A. Firchau. ROW 3: Manager E. Melheim, M. Ayres, L. Olson. ROW 2: G. Sand- A. Witherall, Asst. Coach Auringer, Coach Sponberg, meyer, T. Lastine, L. Christianson, B. Sands, D. Manager B. Thomas. The St. James B wrestling squad, coached by Mr. Auringer, finished the season with a perfect rec- ord. The team tallied 423 team points to their opponents 74. From such an impressive record, it would seem that St. James will have a winning A squad for years to come. Only underclassmen are allowed to wrestle on the B squad, since the purpose of the group is primarily to gain experience for later A team contests. The St. James B's started by tromping Waseca, 38-5. They went on to skunk the next three teams, clobbering Lake Crystal, 58-0; Madelia, 54-0; and Windom, 58-0. These scores are exceptionally good because the highest possible wrestling score is 60-0, and the B's missed it by only two points! ABOVE: Rognlie displays championship form by pinning his opponent. St. Peter crumbled, 32-14; after which the reserves pounded the Madelia matmen a second time, by a score of 45-8. Even though their A teams were victorious, Blue Earth (31-19), Redwood Falls (30-17), and Mankato (40-10), were vanquished by the Junior Saints. The B's wound up the season with a victory, jinxing Worthington 37-11. ABOVE: Olson (Standing) tries valiantly for a take-down.

Carol Running became vice- president; Gail Wagner, secretary; and Carol Strom, treasurer. Our Shuffleboard float in the Homecoming parade did not win a prize but we all hope to win as freshmen. The annual Halloween party with the seventh grade was a lot of fun. We were proud of Carol Strom, our queen and David Moody, our King. Representing the other sections were: Mary Kay Johnson, Owen Sletta, Kathy Christenson, David Gruis. Keith Anderson, and Charles Zender. We had a hula-hoop contest along with a talent show and a pinata for enter- tainment. A memorable night for our football boys was October 22. They played under the lights in the first annual Junior High Jamboree. Many of our classmates participated in the Christ- mas concert. Mr. Langr, our advisor, planned a dancing party for us. We can hardly wait for our freshman year when we can go to the dances all the time. Hardly wait! Why exams are over! We are freshmen! We, the eighth grade, came back for our second year in high school feeling much older, and very superior. Our class of 118 elected David Gtuis to lead us ROW 1: N. Geiger, G. Jensen, J. Nelson, J.
