We. the Senior Class are grateful beyond words for the many sacri- fices which our parents have made to prepare us for our role as leaders and parents in tomorrow's world. It is with deep appreciation for their sacrifices, guidance, and en- couragement that we dedicate this edition of the SAINTONIAN to them. 3 PARENTS VISIT, THEN RETURN FOR CLASSES. Our parents had their usual opportunity this year during the American Education Week open House to attend our classes and visit with our teachers. Shown at the left are Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Warling, parents of Russell, leaving the bus which Russell takes to school every day. Their next stop was to obtain Russell's schedule of classes from Future Teacher Sharon Peterson and proceed on their way to class. (Left Center) Some liked school so well that they decided to take advantage of the Adult Education Courses offered during the year. One course offered was beginning golf, taught by Miss Joan Garvin. 1959 runnerup to the State Amateur golf champion. Miss Garvin is shown (Right Center) checking the grips of her students. Some parents also wanted to know more about mechanical drawing, so Mr. Wills is showing Peter Krause. Sr. just what is to be done while Richard Gay works out his own problem. (Bottom) 4 FACULTY RESPONSIBILITY FOR SCHOOL POLICY Every pupil is his own most important teacher. He is the only one who knows what he really accepts and what he really thinks. Since you are your own most important teacher, try to do the best you can for yourself. Remember, life gives the final examinations--the ones that really count. And remember, you are often being examined when you have no idea of it. People are watching you. Life is the candid camera that does not wait for you to pose. Set your goal now. You can change later on but start out for some certain place--don't be just driving around. We have just opened the door into the limitless reaches of the universe and we can see just far enough ahead to know that man is at the threshold of a momentous area. Here is opportunity, challenge, adventure so tremen- dous as to exceed anything which gone before. With so many talented young men and women in this year's graduating class we can be sure that America will continue to be great in this limitless frontier because you will take up the challenge and be the wanted leaders of tomor- row-leaders who will have wisdom which knowledge and understanding may bring. It is my hope that at St. James we have helped you grow into the broadest, deepest, most vital person possible with a heightened insight that has made you see more clearly what the world is about, and how you can fit into it creatively and significantly and do your part to help create a better world. I shall miss you, but I am proud to call you my students. Sincerely, A. J. Cole, Superintendent Select objectives--thoughtfully. Choose your associates--wisely. Develop your attitudes--conscientiously. Plan to be something--wholeheartedly. With these goals in mind and having confidence in yourself, you will become a first rate citizen. Congratulations and best wishes. Richard Madson, Principal — FALLS ON THESE EFFICIENT PEOPLE Pat Olseth Our school board, under the leadership of its president Mr. Ander- son, is now in the process of working out details for our new school. The job involved is a large one, and we are sure that the board and Mr. Cole, our Superintendent, will have a new High School built that we as well as all in the community can be very proud of. Marge Vogt The school secretaries, Marge and Pat (Mr. Cole) and Nancy (Mr. Madson) are almost as well known to us as our teachers and class- mates, for not one of us hasn't had to dear with them in one way or another. Nancy is responsible for our absence slips, and we are all familiar with the voices of Marge and Pat as they give us the day’s announcements over the public address system.

FOOTBALL TEAMS BLENDED DETERMINATION Poor footing, caused by constant rain, caused Steve Strommen to fall before his Madelia opponents could do the job. Fashions in raincoats highlighted football '59, for old man weather was a deciding factor in all but three games of the season. In spite of rain, the Jims made an impressive record of 3 wins, 2 losses, and 2 ties. They were a team to be respected each time they took to the field as their foes found out. Madelia won't forget the 4 touch-down 4th quarter, nor will Worthington, our Chinese Bandit 2nd unit which licked them. Ground the Eagles is just what we did to New Ulm for homecoming, (it didn't rain! !!) St. Peter, the state champs will also remember their narrow squeek before winning in the closing seconds.

OUTDOOR SPORTS RLOSSOMED WITH THE FIRST Since our annual goes to press before the end of the season, final results of the spring sports are not possible, but some general comments can be made. Because of the moisture this spring, sports have been somewhat handicapped since the members were limited in their activity. that piles up second, third, and fourth places while someone else gets first. At this writing, dual meets with Madelia and Butter- field had been won; and a fifth place recorded at the Estherville Relays. With eight more meets to go, it would appear that our tracksters have their job cut out for them. The tracksters had a busy schedule, led by Captain Jerry Spitzner, who was a pole vaulter. Once again, Coach Renner’s men had strength in depth, the kind The baseball team is also off to a good start, winning its first three games from Mankato, Madelia, and Windom.

BUDS OF SPRING, AS NEW GOIFERS APPEAR. cause of an experienced squad, with high hopes also for next season, since only three members will be lost to graduation. There are five conference games to be played plus the District Tourney, so the baseball team will also be very busy the last weeks of school. As an experiment, tennis was a fall sport with the tournaments held at that time. The Jims were second to Fairmont in the conference and lost to Mankato Up - - - and over! ! Gary Mays may look as though he is headless, but it's just his western roll as he clears the high jump bar in the meet with Madelia. in the District Tournament. Next year tennis will again be a spring sport. There are, however, four matches this spring, and the squad pictured above works out every day in prep- aration for them. Golf is a new sport at St. James, and therefore there isn’t too much to be said, except that they won their first match with Madelia. It will take time to build a team, and if its prospects come through, golf should be a strong sport also. Gil Veith doesn't seem to be in a hurry to get to the net. Could it be that Rog Peterson hit the net with that backhand return of his??? 21 VARSITY WRESTLING TEAM. FRONT ROW: Willie Zarn, Larry Drake, Ted Anderson, Curt Sorenson.

Mankato for the district crown. However, Spitzner was busy with the Westinghouse Scholarship, and didn't compete. St. James will lose heavily due to graduation, but next year's team will still be tough if the B squad record is any indication.

Cliff Anderson, Don Anderson, Mike Zender, Mike The Jim basketball season started rather dismally this year with only 1 win in the first 10 games. Playing with members that were much shorter than the opponents, they none-the-less ran most games right to the final second before losing by the narrowest of margins. Captain Bob Freisen, with his ball hawking, and Steve Strommen, with his accurate shooting kept most opponents ‘’honest.” Losing by such narrow margins would have dis- heartened most boys, but Saints kept plugging away, and managed to come through with wins in 5 of the last 8 games, and they lost to Mankato in the District 6 finals.

This season proves that desire can compensate for this disadvantage. losing only to Fairmont and Jackson in the season's play. Playing with only Sophomores and Freshmen, our Bs demonstrated that they will furnish next year’s A squad with some more hot shooting to help out Conference scoring champ Steve Strommen.

Sports around St. James High School keep not only boys busy, but also ten girls. The cheerleaders, both A and B, spent considerable time throughout the year in keeping up the school spirit, and as usual did a great job at all of the sports events this year. They also had charge of all of the pep fests. There was one pep fest every other week. Each time a different organization put on a skit. The cheerleaders spend a lot of time practicing and perfecting old yells and introducing new ones. Our thanks to each one for time and effort spent on helping to improve the school spirit.

The Annual staff may be compared to a machine with four parts. Each part is made of many cogs, working to- gether to make a final product. Each individual cooperates with others to make the Annual. Supervising the machine” our adviser, Mr. Wetzel (left), is responsible for keeping its parts operating efficiently. The literary staff composes stories, checks pictures, and proofreads all copy. The layout staff is responsible for making each page pleasing to see by way of picture and story placement. LITERARY STAFF.

Miss Chalupa and Mrs. Sedlacek (left) were the advisers to this year’s edition of the school's news medium. A new column was added to give the student body an opportunity to express its opinions on a variety of con- troversial items from the Russian situation to going steady. Humorous articles on page two kept us amused. These among other features were added to the existing paper in which were found the usual school items from the latest happenings in school to the sports page, where the athletic progress of our teams was kept up to date. Since ours is a bi-weekly paper, every other Monday was assignment day for reporters.

The fun we had on Thursday is something we won’t forget soon, as the page heads and reporters sometimes stayed until the wee small hours working (??) on story heads. Saturday was ’’Press day” as the paper was finally put to bed,” to be distributed the following Monday by the busi- ness staff, much to the relief of all members, especially Carmen Broughton (right), our editor. Besides the work there was fun, the Limelight Ball for instance, where next year’s staff was announced.

New at this game of dramatics, the Juniors however did themselves proud in their Spring play. Displaying much poise for novices on the boards they presented their work of six weeks on May 11, to a very receptive audience. Director Jon Paulson can feel satisfied that when their turn again comes in the Fall as Seniors they will once more show this same poise. With State Declam Champ Doug Marsden leading the way, the Seniors of '61 are bound to be outstanding. RIGHT: It takes more than actors to make a play a success.

Seated are Dorothy Stradtman--memorized oratory, and Susy Wagner--original oratory. Standing are Joanell Sletta--extemporaneous speaking and Margaret Behrends--original oratory. There were 60 students working on declam this year, and it was a big job for the English teachers to weed out those who weren't ready for com- petition. They did a good job, for 8 survived the sub-district contest at Garden City. DECLAM CREATES POISE AND CONFIDENCE. DISCUSSION: Michael Sandberg and Joel Renner. ONE-ACT PLAY: Tom Running, Sandy Wette- stad, Bob Stamp. Also rating a superior at Garden City was the One-Act Play, The Shoemaker's Wife, but Madelia's play was chosen to go on. Pictured left, advising Beverly Ekstrom in her pantomime are Joanne Kuehl--humorous declam, Marlene Larson--State alternate winner in the Regional contest in serious declam, Kay Freisen-- humorous, and Chris Cole--serious. Declam is something in which experience pays off, and if numbers are any indication, our school should be well represented in the advanced con- tests in later years. 37 ABOVE: TUMBLING TEAM: SEATED are S.

The poultry judging team of last year placed 13th out of 36 teams in the National contest in Kansas City. Shown below are Herb Anderson, Bob Hoppe, and Lowell Koenig, the team which made the trip. To finance the Chapter, magazine sales were again held with success to the tune of $900 profit. Under the guidance of Gene Bonzer and Emory Krech, the Chapter is one of the most active in southern Minnesota. The Chapter also voted for one of its Senior members as the most deserving, to attend the National Live- stock Exposition in Chicago as the guest of the Junior Chamber of Commerce. The honor went to Cliff Anderson, shown below with advisers Bonzer and Krech. A moment of long-awaited expectations and joys came to a reality for the Juniors, May 2, when A1 Firchau and Karen Nelson led the grand march into Blue Hawaii. For the seniors, it was also a night of gaiety but it left a few tears in the eyes of many as they realized that this, too, was another Last. The decor was done completely in the various shades of blue with the orchestra pit made to re- semble a thatch-hut. BELOW: Decorating for the prom is just as much fun as it is work.

The projectionists are responsible for the visual aids equipment, its scheduling, and care. They see that the films are at the right place at the right time. No one knows any more than the Annual staff how important the photographers’ work is, for without it there could be no Annual, nor could there be pictures for the SAINTS REPORTER. In spite of our nagging to get those pictures out on time, we of the SAINTONIAN staff are very grateful to this group for their part in presenting each publication of our yearbook to the students of our high school.

Twenty of the best choir members formed a group known as the Bach Singers. This group provided variety for our musical programs. There is no need to state just how important the job of the accompanist is, and our choir had the best. No choir would be complete without soloists, and here again we can be proud of our own.

One of the biggest days in the life of a seventh grader is his first day in junior high school. So many strange and interesting things happen, like getting lost, meeting new friends, moving from class to class, participating in all activities. Starting out the year was the election of officers, followed in quick order by float building for Home- coming, the Halloween party with King Wayne Johnson and Queen Diane Jamieson. All senior high athletics were also practiced in junior high. Football had its intra-squad Jamboree Day, and in basketball, the junior high won three games. The girls also participated in G.A.A. and cheerleading. The next step is eighth grade, but never will experiences be so new and exciting as those of this year. A fountain break helps to relax between classes. 7th GRADE. FRONT ROW: Mary Ayres, Susie Nelson, Patsy Firchau, Billy Daemke.

We have finally completed a second step on our high school ladder. We have many things to remem- ber from our eighth grade year. We started our year with the election of officers. Under the direction of our new officers, we started working on our float for homecoming. We were very proud when we won third prize on it. Halloween came and with it a party. The king and queen, Richard Gaalswayck and Peggy Sedam represented our class. Many of the boys went out for sports. The wres- tlers got a chance to wrestle the junior high boys at Madelia and Mankato. The basketball team also made a good showing, as they played against several neighboring towns. We hope we will have good teams as we get older too. We had lots of fun in our eighth grade year but we are still looking forward with great eagerness to our year as freshmen.

Our last year in Jr. High got off to a start with the election of class officers. It seemed almost as soon as school started, Homecoming came. We were very proud of class representatives. Brian Butzlaff and Judy Lunz. Unfortunately Brian became sick, but Dave Moody took his place. We won second prize for our float. We have had many boys in sports. Chuck Bowers wrestled on the A” team and others were on the B teams for many sports. Our class was also represented by Annie Strom as a B team cheerleader. They've all done a wonderful job! We had a Halloween party and a party at the end of the year. All of a sudden spring came and with it came finals. We studied hard and long. One day we walked in the back door waving report cards and calling, Hey Mom, look Mom--I’m a Sophomore. A last minute gab-fest in the 9th grade hall before school starts. 9th GRADE, FRONT ROW: Martin Westman, Sharon Bowers, Mary Teill, Richard Riesenberg, Gary Janovsky, Mary Kay Johnson, Lansing Olson, Dick Downs, Dennis Olson, Susan Ouren, Lynn Clausen.

We’ve elected officers, chosen homecoming attendants Judy Vee and Sheldon Hage. we have joined the Annual and Sts. Reporter staffs, and participated in many more sports than before. We cleaned up after the Halloween dance, the usual Sophomore initiation chore, and came up smiling. Our float managed to break the Sophomore record for winning first prize by losing! This incidentally kept our own record for losing alive also! The FFA poultry judging team (all Sophs) won the regional contest, and the magnificence of the Sopho- more chorus cannot be doubted! We’ve had it--9th graders, you're next! BELOW: Sophs Sellstedt, Nelson, and Ibeling emote in a pep meeting skit.

We have all the necessary equip- ment (class rings, pride, and knowledge) to enter the world of Big Seniors. Under the capable leadership of our class officers, we can chalk up another year of progress. Our class was well represented in all sports, too. Curt Greig and Kathy Sedam were our Homecoming attendants. Our prom was outstanding (naturally). Drama awards were not likely to be given but we thought they could have been. This of course, means our class play and declam participants were also successful. We can sum up this year by one word . . . success. As we prepare for graduation day we will always hold our junior year in highest esteem. Below: Joan Wang, hall monitor, checks the passes of Sherrene Nelson, Diane Olson, and Bruce Nelson.

PARTING IS SUCH SWEET SORROW The night of May 31st was warm and the high school auditorium was packed, as 127 seniors donned caps and gowns to assemble as one group for probably the last time. The dignified grand march began with Nancy Ander- son playing the processional. The welcome address was given by Joanell Sletta and the farewell address by Jerry Spitzner, members of the Honor Ten. Jerry concluded his speech by reminding the seniors that this isn't the end, nor is it the beginning of the end, but rather it is the end of the beginning. Rev. C. Harvey spoke on the youth of today, their fads and fancies, their triumphs and trials, their influence on the world and its influence on them in his speech, Rebels With a Cause. Mr. Madsen presented the class as candidates for graduation to Mr. Edgar Anderson, the president of the school board. The diplomas were awarded, con- gratulations were exchanged, and the class of 1960 left these hallowed halls to journey on to its new horizons. WELCOME: Joanell Sletta SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The night a senior graduates he thinks of many things, but his main thoughts are of the future and the past. Let's remember for awhile the happy things that make high school more than the three R's. As freshmen, we felt pretty grown up. We could now actively participate in Homecoming. Marlene Larson and Jim Warling proved we were old enough to make a good choice for freshman attendants for Homecoming festivities. Many of our boys participated in sports and we had girls on our cheerleading squad too, so we were rep- resented in athletics. This was the first year we were allowed to attend the semi-formal and some of the other dances. We were so proud when those on the new Saints Reporter staff were named. Of course, we weren't too grown up for parties and we had many hard bumps on the roller skating floor, but it was all in fun. We realized even more that when we had to climb that extra flight of stairs when we became sophomores. Our sophomore year brought new responsibilities and more fun. Barb Blackman and Bob Friesen represented our class for the homecoming festivities. More of our boys went out for sports and Julie Bergman, Lois Eckstrom, and Susie Wagner were right there to cheer the teams on to victory. We could choose our own elective subjects now that we were sophomores, so many of us branched off into our favorite fields. While many of us gleefully cut frogs apart, others bisected triangles under Mr. Esse's watchful eye. Along with our junior year came the excitement of being upperclassmen. All of our activities seemed to surround us in a deluge as soon as school started. For homecoming we chose Kathy Johnson and Cliff Anderson to be in the royal party. Our float for the parade took first place, and we were all overjoyed. Class play tryouts were held and soon the lucky few were busy rehearsing January Thaw. Mr. Peterson worked hard with us, and we were all very proud when our dramatic effort realized success. Those of us in band had a chance for another band trip; this time to the Black Hills. No sooner had we returned home than we were hard at work on our prom. Our theme for the prom was Roman Gardens. The decorations were beautiful, especially our genuine fountain in the middle of the dance floor. Spring seemed to follow fall. The year went so fast. All of a sudden we were cramming for finals. Our junior year came to a rushing close and now we are seniors. It didn't really hit us we had finally made the top of the ladder until the first assembly when we took our seats in the coveted middle section. This year there was a slight change in the schedule of the seniors. Rather than have the senior class play in the spring, when we seniors were busiest, we had our class play in the fall. This year under the direc- tion of Mr. Paulson we produced Passing Fancy. This year it was our turn to produce a royal couple. We felt we'd make an excellent choice when we made Carmen Broughton and Bob James our home- coming king and queen. They really made a royal pair. The prom, with the theme we weren't supposed to know, was a big success; everyone enjoyed himself. Senior skip day was the day for which we had all been waiting. Those few extra hours of sleep or fun made the prom extra special. The choir made its exciting trip to Omaha, Ne- braska, Boys' Town, and through Iowa. Things seemed to keep moving at a faster and faster pace. It made our hearts jump a little to realize we had only a few more weeks left until we graduated. After many fittings for gowns and caps the day was here. Now we go out into the brave new world to face life on our own, but will always remember the happy days at St. James High School.
