SAINTONIAN 1962 PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF SAINT JAMES SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL, SAINT JAMES, MINNESOTA. SHIRLEY BLACKSTAD, EDITOR. MILTON S. WETZEL, ADVISER. Here I stand--Newly created, the product of man's ingenuity, de- signed to keep the torch of knowledge burn- ing brightly in the minds of humans yet to make my halls hallowed. 1 have no traditions, no successes or failures, no graduates of prominence, but within my limits of steel and concrete will soon bom die thoughts and knowledge from which freedom is made. I will longer be inanimate, but will be a pulsing segment of die community which created me. BUILDING OUR Minds..................4—29 Talents. . . Bodies........... . .30—43 Social Life 44-61 62-82 Index 83-84 EFFICIENT PERFORMANCE OF EXECUTIVE DUTIES Of course you aspire to the living of a great life. We all do. You hope and long for some means of attain- ing the heights of human success, we believe you can live great lives. Just remember: the quickest path to success is to sit at the feet of great people to learn of them, then stand on their shoulders to reach higher. The easiest thing is to get bitter on life. It doesn't pay! It takes strength of character to be sweet in face of disappointments and discouraging circumstances. But it pays! It has been a pleasure to work with all of you. There have been ups and downs. There are ups and downs in all types of work every day. The association of students and faculty in high school work is a fine experience for teachers and students. St. James, young people, looks with hope toward you as you go forth from high school to carve your mark on the calendar of time. Tomorrow and tomorrow are the days which will guide your destiny. We wait to read the story they shall record of your activities after you have left St. James High School. All of us want our lives to be significant. It is my hope that yours will be. Sincerely yours, A. J. Cole, Superintendent John Dewey said, What the best and wisest parent wants for his own child, that must the entire com- munity want for its children. The new school build- ings are evidences of the faith in youth and education of the people of the St. James district. The oppor- tunity to take advantage of education comes once to children and time does not wait. The primary concern of American education today is--to cultivate in the largest number of our future citizens an appreciation of the responsibilities and the benefits which come to them because they are American and free. Man has plumed the far reaches of the infinite, yet he is not always at peace with his neighbor and sometimes not even with himself. He is finding out about outer space but understands little more about what goes on in his heart. Human history is becoming a race between education and catas- trophe . To the class of 1962, may this be your motto, You entered to learn, now go forward to serve. Sincerely, R. T. Madson, Principal 2 EVOKES OUR INTENSE, INDEBTED APPRECIATION ABOVE: Pat Olseth and Mrs. Jean Crowley, secretaries to Mr. Cole and Mr. Madson respectively, are shown performing their functions in the brand new surroundings of the administrative suite of offices.

Standing are Vaughn Kuyper, Eldon Stroschein, and Marion Gaalswyk. 3 BUILDING My walls will soon be pulsating with the hum of the machinery of the mind. Its product--good citizens. OUR MINDS THE KNOWLEDGE GIVEN TO US BY THE FACULTY ABOVE; Mr. Erickson observes these quiet boys who are absorbed in their library books. We are proud of our new library which, at present, boasts more shelves than there are books to fill them, but not for long! In our ultra-modem home ec. room we see Helen Knaak preparing a sew- ing project while Mrs. Moody helps Sharon Bowers adjust a pattern to the cloth.

Much new equipment has been added to our science department, items which make the task of learning easier, but learning can be disagreeable say Gwen Sletta and Mary Warner! NOT ONLY INFORMATION GAINED FROM BOOKS Mr. Veglahn acts as lifeguard for these sophomore boys as they frolic in the swim- ming pool, a most welcome addition to the Physical Education department, as well as to the whole community. FACULTY: ROW 1; Miss Chalupa, Mrs. McCuskey, Miss Estesen, Mr. Dalen. ROW 2; Mr. Ball, Mr. Klaseus, Mr. Sohn. MARIE CHALUP A - - Mankato State, B.S., Typing, Shorthand, Office Practice.

Miss Russell refs an enthausiastic GAA basketball game in one comer of the spacious new gym. 7 BUT ALSO FROM THEIR PERSONAL EXPERIENCES Pictured above is one of the ten swimming classes for adults held during the year. This is Mr. Wetzel's beginning swimming. Our pool was a tremendous success, averaging nearly 3500 persons per month. This did not count the Phy. Ed. and G.A.A. classes during the day. Other guards included Miss Russell, Mrs. Curtis, Mrs. Edgar Anderson, Ellen Carstenson, and Mrs. Lowell Koch. This welding class was but one of many classes offered adults during the year. Everything from survival preparedness to blueprint reading attracted several hundred adults. The lights of STJHS burned often and late.

There were other things we had to wait for also—shop tools, bleachers, and other equipment. 8 WILL PROVE TO BE HELPFUL IN LATER LIFE CUSTODIANS; Carl Arnold, George Anacker, Don Heller, and Don Anderson.

Ted Mays—Vice-Pres., Peggy Sedam--Pres., Nancy Awiszus-- Treas., and Donna Johnson--Sec. Down at the bottom of the ladder again! Maybe thatfs how the sophomores felt this year, since they were the youngest in the new Senior High. But that didn't bother them as they have gotten off to a good start. They won second prize on their Homecoming float and enthusiastically at- tended the Homecoming dance. This year the sophomores had their own band and choir, that well represented the school in various concerts. They also had a part in the Prom, for ten girls were chosen as waitresses. iHm SOPHOMORES: ROW 1; R. Madson, P. Bowen, T. Smith, J. Askevold, D. Heller, D. Peters, G. Fischer, A. Lehman. ROW 2; W.

THE COMPLEXITY OF OUR SENIOR HIGH YEARS, We were very well-backed by the sophomore participation in athletics. Maybe, due to the pep of their cheer- leaders, Donna Johnson, Bonnie Lar- son, Peggy Sedam, and Peggy Strom. This has been a wonderful year for them and they are eagerly looking forward to the next, when they will be juniors. For as they whole-heartedly say: Look out! Here we come! A study in concentration. This picture, taken in the darkened little theatre during a World History film, shows a variety of expressions on the faces of these Sophomores. ABOVE: SOPHOMORES; ROW 1: M. Smith, M. An- derson, B.

Just ask Jannette Frederickson or Lola Rae Miller! Mr. Crosgrove, Guidance Counsellor, talks over the future with sophomore Ron Haynes. Some students would die if they didn't see their friends in the mornings before school. They haven't seen one another for 12 hours!! Bob Leubben, Don Trickel, and Dick Daemke have become confused in our big new school, and have to ask for directions to the swimming pool from Mr. Strommen, athletic director. 12 AS ENTERPRISING JUNIORS, WE SHOW INITIATIVE; JUNIOR CLASS: ROW 1: M.

Well here we are, Juniors already! But that isn't all, we are the first Juniors of the new St. James Senior High. There have been many new and exciting events that have challenged us, but we per - formed them with ever-increasing eager- ness . As it has always been the custom of the Juniors to sponsor the Junior- Senior Prom, we were especially anxious to make it a success because it was the first to be held in the beautiful new gym- nasium which presented a decorating chal- lenge.

We were also proud to receive first place on our Homecoming float. Our class was proficiently led by the fol- lowing officers: President, Ted Anderson, Vice President, Dave Gruis, Secretary, Carol Running, and Treasurer, Kathy Christenson. The Junior Class officers take time off from a Prom committee meeting for their pic- tures. Carol Running, Kathy Christensen, Dave Gruis, and STANDING Ted Anderson.

Co-captains Clarence St. John and A1 Graupman led the Saints to their first un- defeated football season since 1957. The Saints also captured the South Central Conference Championship. Their 9-0 sea- son record extended Coach Gunderson's personal win streak to thirty one games, the longest in the state. Several of the games were squeakers, but when they were threatened, the Saints dug in and showed their opponents and invulnerable defense, a part of which was Terry Domino, who was name to WCCO Radio's Prep Team of the Week. The St. John brother combination, together with Al Graupman's running decided sev- eral games. In the final game of the sea- son, Al ran 250 yards. The team spirit was helped tremendously by the support given by the students and the entire com- munity . The Bombers, coached by Mr. Auringer copied the varsity by also having an un- defeated season, six wins and no losses. With several bright prospects from the bombers and the return of the lettermen next year, the Saints can be sure of another fine season. Two Jimmies close in to stop an opponents advance- ment.

THE SUCCESS OF THE JIMMIES WAS ACHIEVED The Saints came up with another outstanding season with a record of 18 wins and 4 losses. In regular season play, St. James tied for the Conference Championship with Hutchinson and Waseca, who had been defeated by the Saints during the season. The first annual Holiday Tournament was held in St. James this year, and the Saints emmerged as champs, with victories over Mankato and Luveme. Owatonna was the other participant in the tournament. St. James crushed both Mankato and Lake Crystal by 30 point margins to repeat as District champs. In the opening game of the Region tournament, the Saints bowed to a good Wells team who went on to place third in the State Tournament. With the larger facilities of the new gym, there was room for the large number of fans from the community who followed the Saints in each home game. There was also a tremendous number of fans who followed the team, all of which helped the team do the fine job they did. Do you recognize Mr. Basketball'’?

BY THEIR DETERMINATION AND SCHOOL SPIRIT. With first year coach Teig at the helm of the Bomber team, another successful season was completed. They ended the season with 15 wins and 1 loss, that being to Mountain Lake. There were several very close games but the team showed very good poise in the tight spots . Good balanced scoring’and defense by the Bombers always kept the opponents working. With their fine record, it looks like there will be another good season next year . B BASKETBALL, Clockwise: D.

DETERMINATION AND CONCENTRATION An impressive 8-2 season record, a South Central Conference Champion- ship title and second place in the District meet tell the story for our varsity wrestlers. Five returning lettermen provided the backbone of the squad. Our two loses were chalked up when two of the state's powerhouses --Blue Earth and Tracy ranked 2nd and 4th in the state's respectively-met and beat us in some rough and tough matches. Saints wrestlers did a fine job in avenging Blue Earth by upsetting them in the Conference meet and grabbing the title. Plagued by bad breaks, we had to settle for second place in the District Meet where Mankato nosed us out of the top title. - Co-captains Jerry Bowers and Merle Ayres led the wrestling squad.

New coach, John Greenslit, and the Saints had a very good season, losing only one duel cross country meet. There were several highlights in the 1961 season. Bruce Friesen set a new course record, breaking the previous record set by him last year. Friesen and Gordon Frisch qualified for the Region meet held in St. James, with Friesen advancing to the state meet. In the State contest, he placed thirty-second out of 300 runners. There are nine lettermen, four of which will be returning next year. Frisch and Friesen were named co-captains for 1962, following Gary Mays, the 1961 captain. Cross Country: ROW 1; C. Ostberg, D.

RAIN MANAGE TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL SEASON Coaches Greenslit and Klaseus, in their first year of coaching in St. James, put the Saints track team through heavy work-outs in the rain, snow, and cold to get them in shape for the season. So far this spring season the Saints have done very well. In the first outdoor meet, the team topped every event and won by a large margin. In the second meet, the Saints again won with a very good edge and Terry Domino set a new school shotput record.

The baseball team, under coach Veghlan, started the season by trouncing Mankato with a score of 9-1. The next game ended in a rather unhappy way with Springfield beating the Saints by 7-2. The Saints came right back and won over Waseca in the first South Central Conference game. Bad weather had prevented much practice outdoors and had caused the postponement of a game, but it didn’t dampen the spirit of the players at all. The team is hoping that, with continued fine play, they will be able to add to the already numerous honors won by the other athletic teams . 39 ABOVE: Inside and low!

GAA girls meet for enjoyment and for gaining new athletic skills . During the fall they practised up on volleyball to get themselves back in the swing of activity. Later, a series of indoor games, such as ping pong, shuffle- board, badminton, and deck tennis were played followed by the basketball season. Swimming was introduced to the members by a GAA party and lessons were given to those who wanted to acquire new skills . A new group of advanced swimmers was started for practising water acrobatics . For acquiring a GAA letter, a point system was developed in which a member must receive a certain num- ber of points . Too all those concerned, it was an enjoyable and educating year. The championship G.A.A. basketball team consisted of N. Bryant, N. Awzisies, J. Needham, C. Riihl, D. Durheim, D. Bentall, S. Stradtman, D. Bowen, and captains C. Raymond and K. Neuman. CHEERS AND HALFTIME ENTERTAINMENT Barb Schutz, Bonnie Wettestad, Annie Strom, Mary Jane Collins, Donna Johnson, Peggy Sedam, Peggy Strom, Bonnie Larson. Yea, Saints! That's the way the Cheer- leaders of Saint James High sum up their experiences of the past year. After attend- ing a cheerleaders' clinic at Lakefield, where a clinician from Texas added a few suggestions to the pooled cheers and songs of the district, enthusiasm and ideas flew thick and fast. Working steadily through football and finally basketball and wrestling, our heroines succeeded in boosting the school spirit to a feverish pitch just be- fore our Jimmies were defeated by Wells. They gave us some experiences that we will connect forever with our high school days . They, along with the rest of us, would like to extend our thanks to all co- workers helping promote a real top-notch school.

After be- coming familiar with the room, they were ready to settle down to the work and fun of perfecting new music. One of their more interesting pieces was the modern arrangement of Study in Steel written by a Minnesota composer, which depicted a blast furnace, nail mill, and open hearth. They performed this number along with several other at a student concert, the So. Central Music Festival, and Spring Concert. Earlier in the year they had participated in the Harvest Holiday and Christmas Concerts.

With the aid of Mr. Auringer, their supervisor, this efficient team of boys has worked throughout the year, attending all manner of activity to snap both candid and posed shots of our student body at work and play. Pictorial illustrations of their fine work can be found in our school news- paper and yearbook.

A lot °f WOrk and e£f°rt WaS PUt f°rth bV each member of the staff to produce our bi-weekly paper. The stories and reports assigned on Monday were proofread and typed on Friday. The following Thursday heads were made, the galleys were proof- read, and the pages were layed out. Also on Thursday nights, to avoid the old say- ing, all work and no play makes Mike a dull boy, second page held its famous parties which left everyone bulging at the belts. All this work lead to the publishing of the paper at eight o'clock on Saturday morning at the Plaindealer Office which seemed like the crack of dawn to the staff members. On the next Monday morning papers were distributed to the students by the business staff. TYPISTS: Clockwise; D. Noren, M. Gnekow, M. War- ling, K. Ruhland, W. Nelson, J. Vee. PAGE ONE: SEATED--B.

Besides the direct work on the paper, this staff was active in other places, to earn money to help pay for the paper, members of the staff worked in the concession stand at many of our home games.

BOOKCOVERS, POPCORN, AND CANDY HELP This year's SAINTONLAN staff was faced with some very challenging situations, which normally would not have to be faced. But they were welcome challenges, for they pertained mainly to the new school. The budget was the biggest problem, for the number of pages in the book is largely determined by the number of subscriptions expected. The staff sincerely hopes that it has covered all phases of the year as well as showing our new school to its best advantage. We are in- deed proud of it. LAYOUT STAFF, CLOCK- WISE: M. Revne, M.

Business staff members soon found that newly separated junior and senior high schools can cause a tremendous loss in the number of subscriptions sold and in the amount of working capital collected. With these financial problems facing them, staff members went right to work planning fund raising methods . They sponsored their annual Homecoming Dance for alumni and students, the con- cession stand during the basketball sea- son, and sold an assortment of humorous book covers for textbooks . The layout staff got some new equipment to begin lay- outs with this year. What with hounding the photographers and battling the bad weather conflict, they were kept pretty busy. A newly initiated point system kept literary staff members on their toes and almost eliminated the old tales of late stories and unmet deadlines . This staff was divided into two groups this year, one responsible only for writing stories and the other for identifying and captioning pictures and writing heads . After the stories are typed, the annual is ready to be sent off to the press . 57 THROUGH PERSEVERANCE AND HARD WORK DECLAM Declam students really made a good showing for themselves in all aspects during the sea- son. Many long hours of practice and memori- zation were spent in perfecting the various pieces. Included in the declam department are the humerous, story telling, manuscript read- ing, original oratory, discussion and extempo- raneous reading divisions. A number of the students went to the district and from these four progressed into the Region. From these four there was one person, Linda La Velle, STORYTELLING: Elizabeth Klaras, Marilyn Flohrs, Carol Cunningham, Mary Warner, and Linda La Velle. HUMOROUS INTERPRETATION: Mavis Warling, Michael Hanson, Helen Knaack, Laura Linn, and Charlotte Nelson. NON-ORIGINAL ORIGINAL ORATORY: Shiloy Spiel- man, Kathy Ruhland, Janice Devens, David Drevlow, Pat Nelson, and Kathy Olson. 58 PARTICIPANTS SUCCEED IN VARYING DEGREES who received a superior and competed in the State in the story telling division. All who have participated in the Declam ac- tivities will agree that they have received a great deal of worth from their practice and competition on all stages of development. They have all learned from first hand experience the value of good, clear, concise, and meaningful speech. Our compliments to those who have participated for a very successful year.

When the curtains opened on the former Broadway hit, ASK ANY GIRL, a full house observed the delightful presentation as it came alive before their very eyes. Due to the limited capacity of the Little Theater the play was staged on three different nights . New equipment and staging plus fine acoustics made Meg Wheeler (Margaret An- derson) departure to the big city very effec- tive. The performance ended leaving the audience looking forward with anticipation for next years play. A little dab will do it. K. Ruhland puts the dab on J. Devens.

Prac- tices occupied most of the cast's time during the weeks before the pre- sentation, but they were mostly fun. Kew Gar- dens, Long Island is the setting for the story. Meriam, in a wave of patriotism, wrote to a certain Lieutenant Wil- liam Seawright using her older sister's name. The fun began when Seawright arrived to marry the un- suspecting Ruth.

The committees were supposed to give special topics at the meetings. Working around the topic Traffic Safety, one group sponsored a Safety Dance, where a safety king and queen were crowned. A new candy project was under- taken to finance the chapter's various activities. Top sellers were awarded prizes at a mother-daughter's tea. The finances were to be used partly towards an overseas orphan project which will get underway next year.

Following the traditional coronation ceremonies, our cheerleaders led the snake dance up town followed by the royal couple, Jock and Boni, and also their attendants. The 1961 theme, Cage the Cats, was ably portrayed by the floats in the Homecoming parade before the big game with students and community as spectators. The festivities cli- maxed as our football team, under Mav Gunderson, pushed over the Goliath giant, Hutchinson. After the game, the Homecoming dance was held in the new Senior high school gym, which provided more than adequate facilities. Terry Powell furnished the dance music. The weekend ended (almost regally) in a day opened to dedicate the St. James Senior High School. A1 Graupman turns the comer for a good gain in the Homecoming game with Hutchinson. The Jimmies won 12-6. Junior attendants; Dave Gruis and Mary Ouren. 72 REIGNED SUPREME DURING ALL FESTIVITIES The Royal Family poses informally, and a nice looking family it is, don't you think? As usual, the Annual Staff spon- sored the Homecoming dance and leading off the proceedings once more is the royal family, happy with the fact that their king played an important role in Caging the Cats. Winning out over the many float entries in the Home- coming Parade was this Junior float showing the Saints twisting the tigers tail. 73 SLEEPY GARDEN WALLS AND FLICKERING STARS Junior and Senior class Presidents Ted Anderson and Merle Anderson lead the Grand March with their dates Mary Jane Colins and Janice Wassman respectively. Facing the many new problems of decor- ating the enormous new gymnasium, the Junior class started their plans for the 1962 Junior-Senior Prom. The first task was to divide the Junior class into certain committees . From there the theme com- mittee, using ideas from the students, decided on Deep Purple Dreams as the theme and the other committees took over and made plans accordingly. Royal purple, orchid, and silver crepe paper streamers strung alternatingly across the gymnasium formed the false ceiling. A long garden wall with an archway, ex- tending the full length of the gymnasium, divided the dance floor from the area where the tables were set. Flowers and small evergreen trees decorated the wall. Guy de Leo's orchestra was set up on stage which was decorated for the eve- ning. Participants entered the grand march through a large English gate at the end of the gymnasium and circled the center-piece, which consisted of a swing and a tree, ending with a London-bridge formation that circled the dance floor. The evening's entertainment included the following: Ted Anderson was the Master of Ceremonies, Dave Gruis gave the wel- come followed by Merle Anderson giving the response. James Zender sang the theme song Deep Purple, and the Junior Bous Octette sang a selection. Guy de Leo took over from there and we danced until midnight to the beautiful music. Lunch was served by ten fine waitresses picked from the sophomore class . The menu was chalet cake, garden jubilee and a rainbow of beverages . Being the first class decorating the new gymnasium, it was decided that we try a few things that hadn’t been done other years. One of these was that it was an open prom. Also, the dance programs were handed out earlier on the day of prom so that dances might be lined up ahead of time. We as Juniors hope that it will be a memorable one for the seniors and a foundation for next year's Juniors upon which to build their 1963 Junior-Senior Prom.

For Seniors, the Prom is the final social event of the year and it marks the beginning of the bustle of the final month before graduation. With the passing of the Prom and its fond memories, many a senior remi- nisces with a wistful yearning and realizes that the long strug- gle is soon over and that a new one is about to begin. Good luck, Seniors, in whatever you do from the Class of 63. Guy DeLeo lends his wonderful music for the evening. 76 ALWAYS MEET, HERE IN OUR DEEP PURPLE DREAMS.

Each of us had our own way of expressing the impres- sions that we had gained from our experiences: The responsibility that each of us had to accept in order to make a success of our concerts and to truly repre- sent our school by acting like adults in manners and appearance gave me a good feeling. To one choir member the tour gave an opportunity to travel. I did not know the city had such tall build- ings. We often fail to realize that some do not have the opportunities that we have. I do not think there was a group more appreciative of our music than the people at the Anoka State Hos- pital. You could see by their eyes sparkling with joy, and by their appreciative applause that our concert meant more than a million dollars to them. Our last concert at Rush City added a climax that will always be remembered. The thrill of doing a good job, the happy faces, the congratulations, and the tears of the choir members and a few in the audience will be remembered forever.

The Class of 1962 is now ready to take its place among the alumni of St. James High School, the product of my first year of operation has led the way in establishing a truly memorable record. No longer are my halls empty, for I now have sounds of the past to store for posterity, and what sounds they are! The largest class in history has gone thru my doors . 133 who will go on to make their mark. The record in Athletics has been excep- tional . My teams , during this school year won 5 of 8 conference championships, 3 district, and 1 regional championship. They finished no lower than second in any sport. The Homecoming was the largest in his- tory (we beat Hutchinson too) with my halls ringing for many days after the weekend open house when nearly 10,000 people saw my facilities. Our band and chorus once more had a memorable year with their concerts and the successful choir tour . Adults also flocked to my rooms for training, over 500 of them. My swimming pool averaged 3500 people per month, without student classes. The Prom at which the juniors honored the seniors was open for the first time and the largest in history. The seniors themselves won many in- dividual honors which proves that they are outstanding. It has been a long haul for the class of '63, but they did their job well. They have established a tradition for winning, an esprit de Corps among students, a code of dress and behavior which is a must in a new school such as I am. So it’s with pride and also with a feeling of regret that I, from which you came, bid you bon-voyage in your new role as citizens. I shall look forward to seeing you at each Homecoming. 82 INDEX SOPHOMORES Anderson, Lee 12 Anderson, Michelle 11-48-41-75-46 Ascndorf, Janet 10-75-43 Askevold, Jon 10 Awiszus, Nancy 10-41 Beck, Jean
