SAINTONIAN 1965 PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF SAINT JAMES SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL, SAINT JAMES, MINNESOTA EDITOR-IN-CHIEF... LAY-OUT EDITOR... LITERARY EDITOR.. TYPING EDITOR..... BUSINESS EDITORS JUNEKUEHL JUDYJOHNSON DIANE STERNBERG LORNANOREN RUTH BOHM DAVID WARNER DEDICATION Mr. A. J. Cole, our Superintendent for the last nine- teen years is retiring. Half of his service to education was in our school system. During those years Mr. Cole has been responsible for so many improvements that we cannot mention all of them. When he came to St. James it was only a city school. Now it is a consoli- dated district more than three times as large. With this growth came added opportunities for students, such as the Agriculture, Guidance, and full time Music Departments. More courses could be offered because more facilities and teachers became available, such as the hot lunch program, the farm shop, and swimming pool. His active participation in community and state affairs is also extensive. We cannot put into words how deeply greatful to Mr. Cole all of us are for this service, and we hope that by dedicating the 1965 SAINTONIAN to him it will in a small way show this appreciation. Good fishing, Mr. Cole. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Physics and chemistry classes, which include lab sessions, always are good bets for interesting shots. Mr. Litchy watches as two students ponder over a problem. FACULTY Since Mr. Cole became Superintendent 19 years ago, the faculty of St. James school system has grown from 36 to 86 members. During this time he has seen built a new wing for the elementary school and a complete new high school, first used in 1961. He has given many pep talks and words of inspiration during the 38 years of his administra- tive leadership, such as that pictured at the left. Before coming to St. James, Mr. Cole was in the Janesville, Canton, and Truman school systems. Many hours of work go into the parent-teacher conferences held in December each year. Mr. Richard Madson is our principal. It is up to him to see that the school is run smoothly, and that school policy is respected. Our secretaries do an excellent job of maintaining all school records. Mrs. Crowley is Mr. Madson's secretary, and Mrs. Heller is Mr. Cole's. School Board: Eldon Stroschein, Richard Bolin, Superintendent A. J. Cole, President of the board Vaughn Kuyper, Hans Behrens, Harvey Voth, and Everett Westman. MEMBERS OF THE FACULTY STRIVED MRS.

The band embarked on April 1 to spend the next three days on their first tour out of the state since 1957. After much trying the band had gained permission from the school board on the condition that they earned their own trip and took no more than two school days. Once the school year had started, the band went to work selling school patches, (which were new this year), the annual birthday calendars, and collaborated with the concert choir in giving a Harvest Holiday Harvest Pop Concert to the public. Activity hour was well filled for band members who blew and drummed to perfection. 18 GAVE MEMBERS AMPLE OPPORTUNITY ROW 1: S. Schiller, J. Shelley, P. Neuman, G. Engelking. ROW 2: R. Mays, P.

On into Canada went the band for its last concert at The Fort William Collegiate Institute, in Fort William, Canada. The band was further honored this year by being selected to play at the State School Board Convention in January. Our band director, Mr. Sorensen (right). 19 TO DISPLAY THEIR VARIOUS TALENTS These boys gathered energy after a long bus ride and two sleepless nights. Rick seems to be saying ’’Act calm and they won't know the difference. Going through Customs was a new experience for many. One interesting, but scary, experience was the trip on the ski lift. 20 AS WELL AS A CHANCE TO TRAVEL Sax duet members Pat Anderson and Jeanne Noren won a star rating at the State Music Contest. Drummers Kent Martinson, Shirley Miest, and Sandra Ost- berg survived competition of the district contest and went on to the State to win a star rating. Danny Olson, Jeff Scholar, Larry Shelley, and Bruce Torkelson formed the Trom- bone Quartet and were awarded stars at the State Music Con- test. Members of the Swing Band: J. Hartman, L.

Anderson, J. Wettestad, D. Westman, H. Stark. BACK; D. Meier, T. Sturm, D. Devens, M. Wiken, Mr. Barduson. Winners at the FFA Crop Show this year were Dennis Meier, Reserve Champion and Tom Posch, Grand Champion. Members of the FFA held a business meeting on the third Monday of each month. Correct parliamentary procedure was used during all meetings, and the official team placed second in the district contest. The officers elected for the '64-'65 season were: Delroy West- man, pres.; Gary Miest, v. pres.; Wayne Anderson, sec.; Jim Wettestad, treas.; Tom Posch, reporter; Gerry Linn, sentinel; and Larry Wolle, supply. The year's activities included a Crop Show, held on November 21, and the State Judging contests and State FFA convention, both May 3-4. To raise sufficient funds, the profits from the corn plot and magazine sales were put into the treasury. Of this, $100 was given, as a donation, to Camp Courage for a speech-clinic. Advisers for our very ac- tive FFA group were Emery Krech and Odell Bardu- son. The boys who lead the FFA this year were (front row, second from the left) J. Wettestad, Treas.; D. Westman, Pres.; W. Anderson, Sec.; G. Linn, Sentinel; and T. Posch, Reporter. 23 FARMING IS STILL A PROFITABLE, Wayne Anderson, Tom Sturm, Gary Siem and Mark Kuehl made up the trophy-winning soil judging team. Members of the Poultry Judging Team were Larry Siem, Randy Siem, and Delroy Westman. Terry Sturm, Herb Stark, and Dale Harbitz were on the Meat Judging Team. Peter Revne and Herb Stark display the Corn for Camp Courage the FFA collect- ed. Ag. Department Secretaries are Judy John- son, Karol Joblinske, Pat Tighe, and Wyona Klose. 24 REWARDING OCCUPATION FOR MANY Caught swinging through one of the dances at the FFA-FHA Party were Mr. Barduson and Donna Bayer- kohler. After at least two months of work, six FFA judging teams, a record number, entered the stiff competition at the State FFA Convention held in St. Paul on May 3-4. Ours was the only school to have two state champions, the Poultry Judging Team and Farm Mechanics Team, which had won first places at the district and regional contests. The Poultry Team will go on to the national con- test. Other gold winners were Meat Judging Team as third in state, and the Crops Judging Team as fourth. The Soil Judging Team was a silver win- ner. These groups all received high ratings pre- viously at the district and region. Outstanding in- dividuals at the state were Randy Siem, Dan Olson Lyle Anderson, Terry Sturm, Delroy Westman, Randy Siem, and Gary Miest. Daniel Olson and Lyle Anderson made up the Mechanics Team. FFA Sweetheart, Monica Burke, paused a moment with Dennis Meier, Gary Miest, and Larry Wolle were the her escorts; Tom Posch, Joel Vogt, Gary Miest, and members of the Crops Team. Ev Wright. SENIORS WERE HIGHLY ACCLAIMED SENIOR CLASS PLAY CAST, Left to Right; R. Zender, V. Peterson, C. Malmgren, G. Dreke, M. Holte, D. War- ner, C. Mausling, D. Devens, L. Fullmer, L. Trowbridge, M. Sturm, P. Newman, J. Geistfeld, S. Ostberg. After months of hard work, Eliza Dolittle emerged as a refined lady at the Embassy Ball. She had changed so greatly that on one realized what a bumpkin she had been. Professor Higgins (D. Warner) and Colonel Pickering (C. Mausling) took on a seemingly hopeless task when they agreed to help Eliza Dolittle (L. Fulmer) become a lady. Eliza was transformed so completely, that even high society accepted her as a princess. 26 IN PRODUCING SHAW’S “ From left to right are Leo Balthazor, Mr. Heilman, and Carole Pietsch. Leo and Carole were selected as stage mana- ger and student director respectively. As an advisor, Mr. Heilman chose the cast members and committees that were responsible for various things. November was a hectic month for all seniors who helped to produce Pygmalion . This particular play was of special interest because it is the original version of the musical, My Fair Lady . Mr. Heilman, the play advisor, selected the cast members . . . Carole Pietsch acted in the capacity of student director, and Leo Balthazor, as stage manager, was assigned to handle the technical as- pects of producing the play. This year for the first time, the play was given on more than one set. With the aid of several props, three small scenes on different sets were given in addition to the acting in the three major settings. Those of us who were involved with moving the tons of furniture, props, and water, will never forget the mad scramble between set changes. The set change after the first scene usually got pretty sloppy because of the genuine downpour of rain. Anyway, we had the fastest moppers and the cleanest stage floor than can be imagined. Pygmalion was performed twice for the students and three times for the public. Members of the promotion com - mittee went from house to house, but ticket sales still weren't as high as we hoped they would be. Despite the crazy things that went on backstage, Pygmalion was a great success. Scene changes were very hectic back stage, but to the audience all went very smoothly. During an early rehearsal, 'Liza (Linda Fullmer) angrily leaves the room following an unsuccessful speech lesson. OUR TOWN” REPRESENTED DAYS OF OUR TOWN had such a large cast that there was a part for nearly everyone who wanted to try their skills on the stage. THE CAST Stage Manager . . .

This year's Junior Class Play, OUR TOWN, by Thornton Wilder, was a great success with the students and general public. Mem- bers of the cast were anxious to find how the audience would react to a play filled with pantomine and no scenery except ladders and tables. Mr. Heilman, the di- rector, and Mr. Udvig, his assistant helped the aspiring actors to perform a Mary Westman was the play's student director and Mr. Heilman directed the play. 28 CONCENTRATED EFFORT BY JUNIORS Breakfast at the Gibbs home. Mrs. Gibbs, George, and Rebecca. show requiring many emotions and pre- cision movements. Their constant guidance helped the cast portray the daily life of common people in an early twentieth century village. The backstage and dressing rooms provided memorable gabfests, conversations, with the Ouija Board, and the feeling of warmth that comes from good teamwork. Mrs. Webb and Mrs. Gibbs are sitting outside Mrs. Webb's home, stringing beans. (Also talking about the furniture man who came to visit Mrs. Gibbs, and numerous other things.) 29 Mrs. Webb, Mrs. Soames, and Mrs. Gibbs comment on how drunk the choir director was at choir practice. George and Emily are in their bedrooms. MANY STUDENTS WITH FINE SPEAKING SERIOUS INTERPRETATION: M. Pictured in this division of declam were extemporaneous readers (seated), L. Kuyper and J. Sorensen. Extemporaneous speakers were R. Peterson, M. Sturm, and L. Fullmer. Swenstad, T. Goree, D. Schwake. Declam work began in earnest during the first week of January. After much diligent effort and long pracrice, the local con- tests were finally held from March 8-12. The two winners and an alternate of each division were allowed to continue their quest, by entering the West Sub-District contest at Rapidan on March 20. The winners then advanced to the District, at Mankato Wilson, and from there it was on to the reginal, held at Winnebago on April 10. The participants in original and non- original oratory were very ably coached by Mr. Ball. Mr. Heilman handled ex- temporaneous speaking and discussion. Storytelling was coached by Mr. Bjorn, and Mrs. McCusky supervised serious interpretation. Humorous interpretation progressed rapidly under Miss Koyen's guidance. The junior high school also had a busy year for declam. Mr. Frost, Miss Hal- vorson, and Mrs. Danger coached these 44 participants in the fine art of speaking. The 39 declam members in the senior high found speech a lot of hard work but well worth the time spent. Hitler's council of war? It could be, but it's really Leo Balthazor, Charles Mausling, Herb Stark, Jeff Scholar, and Mike Sturm in the one act play, Miracle of the Danube. The play was written by Maxwell Anderson and it is a war drama of World War II, con- cerning German policies. The play was rated second in the district. 30 TALENT TRIED OUT FOR DECLAMATION Those students who took part in discussion and storytelling were S. Daemke, B. Daemke, M. Sturm, C. Kennedy, and M. Hau- gen. C. Beck, T. Sturm, and V. Olson were our participants in non-original oratory. Their speeches, although not written by them, had to be memorized. Pictured (below) are the debate participants: seated, M. Sturm, C. Goree, C. Kennedy, and T. Goree; standing, L. Shelly, B. Daemke, J. Gapp. Members of the humorous interpretation division of declam (below) were K. Sorensen, J. Bodin, and C. Bottem. 31 FHA HELPED CREATE BETTER HOMES We aie the Future Homemakers of America. We face the future with warm courage and high hope. Miss Jas- ken, adviser, and President Melva Weidenbach talk over future plans with Treasurer Diane Sternberg and Historian Hiyllis Mathistad. President Melva Weidenbach serves some mothers at the annual mother-daughter tea, which was part of the program of installation of officers for next year. Treasurer Diane Sternberg and her mother host next year's vice-president, Monica Spitzner and her mother at the tea. During the 1964-65 school year the FHA was a very active group of girls. There were many unusual social events which had the girls buzzing. The Bingo party with its valuable prizes (candy bars) the slumber party with everyone in cur- lers and pj's , and of course the mother-daughter tea at year's end. At this tea we also picked our new officers for the coming year and installed them. FHAers received their pins and mothers learned about the purposes and ideals of our organization. - 32 AND IN TURN,A MUCH BETTER WORLD As a group, we held various social and profit-making events. Our annual Twirp Dance which the woman is required to pay, was held on February 26. This was a big hit with the boys, but especially with the girls because they ask their favorite fellows. We held some recreational meetings in which members were able to participate in any sport they desired. Some of our business meetings were devoted to the revising of our point system. We decided it wasn't rigid enough in determining who should be awarded a school letter. A demonstration on meal serving was presented and stu- dents from the Home Ec. 12, Family living class gave a discussion on dating problems. Adjustments in Mar- riage was the topic of another program presented by several adults. Because of the wonderful success of last year's bake sale, we decided to hold another this year. Baked items were provided by the members, each of whom donated a dollar's worth of goodies to be sold. To further agument our funds, we sold cook books and had practical experi- ence as door-to-door saleswomen as well. Most of the profits torn this and the other activities went into the treasury or to our Korean orphan, Jang Bok Soon. Our chapter has supported her for several years and her let- ters have made this seem a very worthwhile project. The girls won again! Their special catches don't mind though. The Twirp Dance again proved to be good boy-bait. The best food in town was sold at the FHA Bake Sale. Baking and selling goodies also provided expe- rience and fun for the girls. Rightj FHA girls snooze at the Slumber Party which was held in the gym. It was supervised by several women of the faculty. The FHA officers were kept busy supervising pro- jects. Diane Sternberg was treasurer, Jeanine Hart- man, secretary, and Linda Kluver, Vice-president. 33 SAINTONIAN MEMBERS SPENT HOURS LITERARY STAFF: C. Kennedy, L. Kluver, J. Johnson (Head). J. Curry, R. Grev, C. Bottem, S. Theissen. Tuesday nights after school were quite well-filled for members of the Saintonian staff. Lay-out members used their imagination to discover new ways of arranging pictures. Members of the literary staff wrote picture captions, page headings, and stories. The typists put their manual dexterity to work by typing up the literary creations. The business staff had the job of promoting and selling annuals and working in the consession stand to cut down on costs. The stand was open for the convenience of the students after school and also at basketball games and wrestling matches. Saints Soar in 64 , the homecoming theme, came to a climax at the dance, following the football game. Our editor June Kuehl and advisor Mr. Wetzel con- sider covers. LAY-OUT STAFF: SEATED: D. Bayerkohler, D. Sternberg (head). STANDING: L. Warling, L. Kuyper, K. Swanson, M. Sternberg. 34 TO KEEP SCHOOL MEMORIES ALIVE Business Staff; SEATED--R. Peterson, P. Sawatzky, J. Rettke; STANDING--C. Soehren, B. Meier, L. Mikkelson, K. Francis, K. Clark, R. Bohm, D. Warner, (co-heads), M. Weidenbach, and D. Kuehl. This last event, which featured the Swing Band, was sponsored by the Saintonian Staff. The evening got off to a good start when Queen Martha, King Laurie, and their attendants started the first dance. The last semester was hectic for the staff because three deadlines had to be met. Snow vacations and the bad Spring floods made us late, but work on the year- book was finally completed and it was sent off to the publisher. A lot of fine effort and hard work went into our saintonian, but the staff, June Kuehl (our editor), and Mr. Wetzel (our advisor), felt that every minute was well invested. Some Staff members choose a cover for the Saintonian. They decided on a red, white, and black color scheme. Annual Staff typists were Barb Anderson, Laurel Einecke, LaRae Hammer, Lorna Noren (head), Gail Harbitz, Jean Noren, and Diane Sturm. 35 STUDENT WERE KEPT UP TO DATE First page staff consisted of (BACK ROW) L. Kuyper, C. Pietch, and C. Kennedy; FRONT ROW, M. Serkland, L. Fullmer, and P. Heger. Adviser for the SAINTS REPORTER was Miss Meyer. The editor, Sharon Olson. Longhaired reporters J. Noren, J. Hartman, P. Mattson, and J. Scholar think second page is way out. Although some students in school believed that the fastest, best source of news was over the grapevine from friends, those of the Saints Reporter felt differently. They learned from practical experience that publishing even a small school paper is not as easy as it might seem. Countless hours went into the ten editions that were put out in the 1964-1965 school year. However, there certainly was fun and gaiety along with all the work! Who'll ever forget that feud of words between the wise old Plato and the sportsminded End ? Christmas is a very special holiday, and the newspaper staff was not to be outdone in announcing it. Extra large, eight page editions were distributed to the stu- dents, hot off the press of the Plaindealer. Reporters and page heads and especially our editor, Sharon Olson, will never forget the cold, wintry Saturday mornings when they had to face the elements to get to the office by 8:00 A.M. in order to proofread the paper! R. Zender and D. Devens were Sports reporters. Third page duties were handled by (seated) S. Johnson, B. Friesen, J. Kuehl, and L. Kluver. BY AN INDUSTRIOUS PAPER STAFF These four smiling girls are the proofreaders. From left to right are L. Warling, R. Grey, J. Johnson, and M. Erickson. The outstanding social event sponsored by the Saints Reporter was the annual Semi-Formal dance. Because, the theme was Valentine Valley, the entire gym was decorated in the appropriate colors; red, pink, and white. In spite of sore muscles and drooping eyelids, the decorating continued. One of the third page reporters managed to get a few choice tree branches. Old Christmas tree stands came out of storage and the branches made perfect Valen- tine trees, complete with sweethearts' names. The climax of the evening came when the 1965-66 Saints Reporter staff was announced. To build up the suspense, all new staffs, heads, and reporters were named before Jeannine Hartman was declared the per- son to take over Sharon's job. Going through their files are P. Mathistad, and J. Miest, members of the exchange staff. Typists, Top: K. Francis, L. Hammer, K. Clark. Bottom: L. Noren, C. Newman, G. Har- bitz, S. Noren. Above are members of the business staff.

The Future Teachers of America was set up for the purpose of introducing high school students to the background and experiences, aiding them in de- termining whether or not they wish to choose teaching as a profession. The members also had the chance to observe teaching for a week in the area of their interest. During the school year mem - bers volunteered to help at different school functions, such as: career day, college night, and parent-teacher conferences. This organization of twenty members was led by the follow- ing officers: President--Jim Moody, Vice President--Ronalda Peterson, Secretary --Mike Sturm, Treasurer-- Martha Erickson, and Historian —Loma T rowbridge. Each year college students form Mankato State College and the University of Minnesota come to practice teach, From Mankato were Ann Stangland, Joyce Streich, and Roland Tadd. Jim Moody, Loma Trow- bridge, and Mike Sturm, who are standing, and Martha Erickson and Ronalda Peterson, seated, were elected by their fellow FTA members to lead the group in their activities during the year. 38 GIRLS STRIVED FOR SPORTSMANSHIP Above, some sophomore girls test their dexterity on the parallel bars. This exercise seems quite simple, but it is one of the most difficult pieces of apparatus to work on. Instead of spring sports, the GAA sport heads and officers were planning skiing and igloo building; Karen and Karol Jablinski, C. Boitnott, P. Heger, B. Hovde, M. Joblinski, and J. Bodin. Not pictured were P. Lofgren and J. Booth. Mondays and Wednesdays were the girls' days in the gym. GAA members played during the noon hour as well as activity period. Earlier in the fall, touch football was played outdoors, but as the weather got colder, the girls retreated to the school building. Volleyball, basketball, and recreational games were played inside. GAA was able to claim one of the largest mem- berships of the school organizations, and all of the girls gained from the experience. Miss Stanton supervised the activities. Basketball appeared to be one of the favorite sports of GAA members. Two games were played at the same time. The faculty cooperated with the GAA in presenting an unusual basketball skit for a pep fest. 39 ALTHOUGH QUITE SMALL IN SIZE, Projectionists: R. Oldenburg, K. Kuehl, D. PHOTOGRAPHERS: S. Harms, K.

What would we have done without the projectionists? Students enjoyed a movie at any time, even if it was about history or science! The members of the projec- tionist club, under the supervision of Mr. Fabricius, were ready to leave the study hall at any time to show a movie. Another important club in school activities was the photography club, under the guidance of Mr. Litchy. Everyone loved to have their picture taken for the Saintonian or Saints Reporter, and that became the job of the willing photographers, even though the snows and flooding caused many anxious moments. Advisors for the projectionists and Photography Club are Mr. Fabricius and Mr. Litchy. German Club: J. Kuehl, Sec. J. Hackett, Vice Pres., R. Olson, Pres., Mr. Fabricius, Advisor. ROW 2: K.

The highlight of the 1964-65 Library club was the outing to Cinerama, which was financed by a dance after one of the basket- ball games. Incidentally, the club took in over $46 to break the previous record. Besides the trip to the cities, the Library club also held a Christmas party and a spring picnic for its members and their guests. Mr. Berg is our librarian. This seems to be one of the quieter moments in the li- brary. Could these people be studying for a change?? 41 Spectatore have had much to cheer about in the years of sports at St. James. SPORTS Mr. Cole personally accepts all trophies won by athletic teams on behalf of the school. During Mr. Cole's years at St. Jarpes, its athletes have compiled an enviable record. There have been twenty-four district Champs, thirty-six conference champs, eight re- gional winners, and two state champions, in football and tennis. There have also been several outstanding boys who have gone on to achieve fame at college. Athletes participate in football, cross-country, track, wrestling, baseball, tennis, basketball, and golf. Attempts are also being made to start a swimming team. QUEEN MARTHA ERICKSOIf KING LAURIE BURGER ph.

Attendant VONNIE ROMSPAHL “SAINTS SOAR IN 64 SET THE PACE The first-place float (left) was constructed by the senior class. We asked Mr. A. J. Cole to ride on it and he very graciously consented. Friday night at the football game, we had a chance to show off our creation at half- time. The first major event of the school year is Homecoming weekend. This year it was held on Thursday and Friday, October 8th and 9th. The ex- citement started the week before when the candidates were nominated. Thursday night came and everyone was tense and excited for the coronation. At last the moment came and Don Devens, our master of ceremonies, crowned Laurie as king! He, in turn, crowned Martha. The traditional snake dance and pep fest in the park followed the coronation. That ended Thursday, but another day of festivities was to follow, and many last minute touches had to be made on the floats. Above, the team rushed through an in- tricately formed crepe paper football to begin warm-ups in style. Paper from the decorated goal posts served as good souvenirs after the game. There seemed to be action of all sorts in the St. James-New Ulm game. The final score was 14-7 in our favor; the Saints certainly did Soar in 64 . 45 FOR A SUCCESSFUL HOMECOMING Other activities that went on during the week were campaigning for the candidates and promoting school spirit with posters. While this was going on, other students were work- ing nights to plan and put together class and club floats. Friday classes were held in the morning so that all could attend the parade in the afternoon. The royalty and junior and senior high marching bands participated. Floats from various groups and organizations, built on the theme, Saints Soar in '64 , were also included in the parade. That night at 7:30 the Saints played the New Ulm Eagles in the foot- ball game. During halftime the senior marching band put on a show and the best floats and the royalty were paraded before the spectators. Above, industrious members of the Annual staff work to beautify the gym for the homecoming dance. The students found that working with ribbon is much easier than crepe paper. The big attraction was the net full of balloons which was released during the dance. At the tea, given in honor of them, graduates of St. James High were able to discuss their plans and recall the good old days with classmates and faculty members. The tea was held in the high school cafeteria. 46 Alumni members sign in for the Dance. REIGNED OVER BY THE ROYAL PARTY Old alumni returned to find many sad and happy memories in the familiar surroundings of St. James High. After the game, the Homecoming Dance was held in the senior high gym, sponsored by the annual staff. The gym was decorated in red and pink; a net full of balloons was sus- pended from the ceiling in the center. The dance started when the royalty paraded in and danced the first dance. All senior high students and alumni were invited. Outstretched arms of students eagerly awaited the seizing of colorful balloons with slips for prizes in them. A lot of work went into the centerpiece, and annual members really had a lung-workout blowing up the hundreds of balloons! Lee James and his combo entertained while students and alumni danced after our victory. 47 UNDER NEW COACH, FOOTBALL SAINTS Varsity Football: ROW 1: B. Anderson, G. Linn, J. Moody, B. King, W. Anderson, R. Ronglie, L. Thomas, L. Bur- ger. ROW 2: E. Wright, T. Basmoen, J. Wettestad, R. Truman, P. Schroeder, K. Benson, M. Hoffman, C. Malm- gren, P. Mattson. ROW 3: R. Olson, M. Olson, D. Moe, B. Kline, J. Larson, C. Bottem, B. Johnson, J. Gilling, ROW 4: R. Sawatzky, C. Gjerstad, J. Hackett, M. Demsey, S. Theissen, D. Devens, D. Sands, and R. Anderson. Our St. James gridders had a veteran team that had 6 wins and 3 losses in '63 and should have been able to improve that rec- ord. However, a prediction of coming trouble appeared at the first game when the Saints barely edged Madelia 13-6 in the final seconds of play after a very poor showing. The football coaches for the '64-'65 season were Mr. Boyum, Mr. Schultz, and Mr. Knight. It was the first year as head coach for Mr. Knight. Ken Nelson acted as the team manager, and Bob King and Wayne Anderson were the co-captains. This seemed to set the stage, for our squad never seemed to come around, just when they were on the verge of becoming a really good team. One highlight of the season was the an- nual clash with another team of Saints, from St. Peter. The offensive found three touchdowns, including one of 91 yards, for which fullback and co-cap- tain Wayne Anderson found room behind some solid blocking. He ran all the way for the score on the first play of a series. The story for the season was just about even with 4 victories and 5 defeats. Al- though the team didn't come out on top for the season, the Saints' loyal fans came out in great numbers to give the team a lift. The football boys turned in their uni- forms, and memories of kicking and tackling turned to thoughts of basketball and wrestling. 48 TALLIED FOUR WINS, FIVE LOSSES The excitement was intense on the sidelines as well as on the field, as this picture illustrates. The Jimmie B squad played a six game schedule, win- ning three and losing three. Under the guidance of Coach Klaseus they were the cannon fodder for the A squad, and generally ran plays of the opponent-to-be. Made up almost SCOREBOARD WE THEY entirely of sophomores, they were glad when one of their St. Peter 25 0 number was good enough to make the A team. Even though Blue Earth 12 27 they wanted to win, one major objecitve was to get experi- Lake Crystal 12 6 ence and training for next year.

SPIRIT WAS RAISED BY CHEERING Normally cheerleaders are seen in very active scenes, but during wrestling matches they are like most fans who twist and go through all sorts of contortions to help the con- testants. Between yells to go, go, go, they sweat it out too. The A team cheerleaders led the stu- dents in yells and did much to keep the spirits up. Jeanine Hartman, Mary Holm, Beverly Gaalswyk, and Prudy Neuman. These girls were responsible for getting a good reaction from the audience at Varsity games and matches. The energetic girls who lead the B team cheers were Monica Burke, Bea Gaalswyk, Julie Hagen (front), and Sandra Ostberg. Their chief task was to keep the spectators as well as the B squad wrestlers and basketball players in good spirits to make that victory easier. The cheerleaders for the ’64-'65 season were selected at try-outs held the year be- fore . Any senior high student was eligible to compete for a position. Much time and effort was spent by both A and B cheer- leaders to keep in shape. Not many people realize that they must practice as well as any other athletic group so that they may act as a coordinated group. In addition to hours of practice they were also respons- ible for the many pep meetings during the year and sponsored several after game dances for the students. Cheering activities began at the first foot- ball game and continued through the year until the last basketball game had come to a close. Miss Stanton supervised the cheer- ing squad, and helped solve any problems that happened to arise. The girls did a fine job, and are certainly to be commended on their fine performance, representing our school body. HARRIERS TOOK CONFERENCE TITLE ROW 1: T. Augustin, J. Geistfeld, L. Ostberg, M.

Co-Captains Jim Geistfeld and Terry Green, together with Roger Schmitz, a transfer from Butterfield, helped run the Cross Country team to an 8-2 season, with a second place in the district and a third in the region. They also ran three perfect scores of fifteen against Madelia, Redwood Falls, and Wells, while losing only to a perennial power, Mankato, and a powerful Richfield. Winging their way around the two-mile cross- country course go barefoot harriers Terry Green and Steve Wolner.

The girls on the tramp and tumbling teams put on three excellent halftime shows. This year, for the first time, double stunts were excuted for the public on the trampoline. The tumblers demonstrated that agility and co- ordination can be developed on a ’’hard” mat as well as in the air. Both teams proved that girls can outshine boys in one field.

Our Tennis Coach Mr. Strommen, and Golf coach Mr. Dalen. WRESTLING SAINTS SENT A RECORD Coaching our wrestlers to victory were Ed Lentz and Paul Krueger. It was up to them to crack the whip and see that the boys developed good wrestling form. They also stressed sports- manship, which is an important part of winning. Team co-captains for the wrestlers were Tom Augustin, Jim Wettestad, and Wayne Anderson. Throughout the season, these boys proved that they really deserved the honor. Keith Benson struggles to keep his man on the mat and pin him at the same time. Tense moments such as this made wrestling one of the favorite sports of spectators. The district and regional winners were (bottom, 1. to r.) Tom Augustin, Jim Wettestad, Wayne An- derson, Mike Wiken, Tom Basmoen, and Keith Benson. ENTRY TO THE STATE TOURNAMENT FIRST ROW: R. Gorman, W. Anderson, J. Wettestad, T. Posch, T. Augustine, D. Westman, C. Frisch, J. Spitzner. SECOND ROW: J. Hackett, L. Thomas, T. Basmoen, K. Benson, E. Wright, M. Wiken, D. Ringen, G. Loudon. THIRD ROW: G. Miest, R. Rognlie, C. Christenson. Once again our wrestlers turned in a fine season, in many respects, the most successful in St. James history. The A squad finished the season with an 8-2 record, losing only to State rated Mankato and Blue Earth. They were Conference Champs, and second in the Invitational, the District and Regional Tournaments. Six of our boys qualified for the State Tourney. The B squad had a fine season also, going undefeated in all dual meets. Coaches Krueger and Lentz look forward to another fine season next year for, even though several are lost to graduation, there are excellent prospects to fill their shoes. FIRST ROW: D. Zender, M.

In spite of workouts inside plus other setbacks, our baseball team made an excellent showing, including a no-hitter by Roger Theis (below). Under the able coaching staff and despite foul weather; the saint baseball team posted a 4-3 record for the year. The season included many highlights such as a no-hitter, which was pitched by Rog Theis against Hutchinson, and a 2 -0 win over previously unbeaten New Ulm. The Saints went on to take the District title by defeating Mankato in the first round and Wal- dorf-Pemberton in the second, thus winning a berth in the Region tournament. The B team also had a fine season. Although the prospects for next year don't look as well as they did for this year, they are, neverthe- less, quite promising. Coach Boyum's face mirrors the futility which all spring sports experienced when our bad spring turned the athletic field into a tributary for St. James Lake.

The track squad, under the able leadership of co-captains, Wayne Anderson and Jim Geist- feld, had a slow start this season because of a flooded track and field. However, after the track dried up the Saints began practicing in earnest, and became a capable team. Winning two firsts, one in the Blue Earth In- vitational and the other in the St. James Olympica, were among the major accomplish- ments of the track squad. Because of injuries, the Saints came out with third place in the conference and second in the district. Going to the region on June 5 were: Gary Miest, 1 in the high and low hurdles; Roger Anderson, the 440; Jim Geistfeld, the 880; and Roger Schmitz, in the mile run. The medley relay record was broken by Roger Anderson, Randy Gorman, Gary Miest, and Jim Geistfeld. The school records for the high and low hurdles were also broken by Gary Miest. Randy going over the bar, and Gary into the pit dis play form which carried the track team to impor- tant victories. 57 SAINTS DEFEATED ARCH-ENEMY TWICE A Squad Basketball, left to right: S.

Olson and R. Zender take time out to pose. The Saints outside shooting this year was good, as some of the high scores would indicate. Jump shots from the side were a speciality. 58 BUT SHARED THE CONFERENCE CROWN Something new has been added to the Saints uniforms this year. You can notice the Saints on Bob King's trunks. The basketball squad had a very successful season, being co-cham - pions of the South Central Conference with Fairmont who they de- feated twice during the season. Compiling a 14-2 record for regular season play, the team had a 15-3 record for the year. They defeated Madelia, then lost to Nicollet, an undefeated team, in the District Tournament. The Saints turned into a rather high scoring outfit, several times running up scores in the 70s and 80s. Next year seems to be an unknown quantity since coach Veglahn loses most of the team due to graduation. The B squad posted a 6-10 record seemingly because of their inability to get baskets at the right time. However by the end of the season they were beginning to get the idea. Don Devens seems to have gotten the shot away in spite of pretty close guarding by his opponent. B SQUAD: FRONT: K. Anderson, D. Moe, C. Gjerstad, C. Dettman, D. King, B. Kline. BACK: P.

CLASSES Mr. Cole’s trademarks were not only his pep talks to his teachers, but also to the stu- dent body at various times when the going got rough. Mr . Cole would come through with words of inspiration and en- couragement. His words to the various teams before and during contests will be remem- bered by those who heard. I hope I have made some contributions in the lives of students that have graduated from here, and if I have it would be my richest reward. Rest assured, Mr. Cole, that you have succeeded in your aim.

These five hardy sophomores showed up Wednesday for world history class only to be dismissed, (for the This was, indeed, a year of excitement rest of the week). Back Monday, the students for the sophomores. At last, after nine were a8ain dismissed for three days, years of patient waiting, they became part of the Senior High in the new build- ing. To start the year off right, they elected officers. Bob Kline was elected to the presidency and Allen Peterson became the vice president. Also holding offices were Beatrice Gaalswyk and Doug Moe, treasurer and secretary, respectively. Homecoming came up shortly and be- sides planning a float for the parade the sophs” also had the opportunity of selecting attendants to the king and queen. Vonnie Romsdahl and Doug Moe were chosen by their classmates to represent the class. In the spring, some of the sophomores were included in the prom with the selection of waitresses from their class. 62 EDUCATIONAL, AS THE SOPHOMORES ROW 1: P. Baarson, V. Nibbe, S. Tighe, G.

Now we anxiously await our last year, where we will finally be the cream of the crop. New thrills and excitement kept up our spirits after the failure of our home- coming float. Shortly after homecoming, we met in an assembly to choose our class rings. In April, after a long wait, we finally received them. Other thrills included the planning of the Junior-Senior Prom. Most of the juniors signed up enthusiastically for the com- mittees. DECORATED FOR A BEAUTIFUL PROM, SEATED: M. Westman, D. Sturm, N. Ridenour, L. Elvin, D. Harbitz, M. Holm, M. Swanson, S. Duffy, N.

ADULTS IMPROVED THEIR MINDS AND During the course of the year our school was a very busy place not only for the students, but for parents and other adults also. Those in- terested in seeking more education as well as learning skills which would help them to enjoy life more, were able to take a variety of adult education courses ranging from be- ginning German and physics to social dancing and swimming. A course in civil defense was also offered. The adult farm classes, which are run in connection with the vocational agriculture department the year around were very popular, along with social dancing and swimming. With the exception of the physics class, which was for college credit, and taught by an instructor from Mankato State College, the other courses were taught by members of the St. James faculty. An extension course in physics was offered by Mankato State College, and was attended primarily by teachers working for degrees. With Spring very late this year, beginning golf students eagerly awaited the chance to try their new skills. Mr. Renner is shown demonstrating a Geiger counter to his civil defense class members. 70 BODIES ATTENDING NIGHT CLASSES Above is the men's beginning swimming class. There were also women's classes, which seemed to be even more popular, for every time they were offered, which was several times during the year, there was usually more than enough to have a class. Men's recreation proved to be just what the busy men in the community needed to help them keep in trim. Besides volleyball, several other indoor games were played. The adult farm classes covered a large variety of subjects. At the session below, the farmers were learning about how best to plant corn with new methods.

June Kuehl, our editor, and her date pause for a moment during an evening of Shangri-la. Couples danced through the mystic land of Shangri- la. Chinese pagoda and an oriental garden en- tranced one and all. Miniature Chinese lanterns graced the students tables where they could eat and watch the dancers. The public was entranced as handsome couples paraded around the gym floor in the Grand March. Freddy Frederick and his orchestra provided fine dance music for stu- dents and faculty adding to the hypnotic atmos- phere. This land of Buddha and the Goddess Sivi, ribbon and glitter was designed and constructed by the hardworking Juniors for the departing Seniors. Here are Brad Holland and his date Phyllis Mathistad as they arrive for an evening of dancing. 88 A PLACE FOR NEVER GROWING OLD Mark Krause sang Shangri-La, appropriate for the theme of the Prom. Cecelia Goree, Darlene Hoffman, and Patricia Anderson sang Some En- chanted Evening for the program on Prom night. Many couples wandered up to the serving counter to get their lunch of: Cake, ice cream, and pop or coffee. Led by Senior President Mike Peterson and Junior Presi- dent Keith Benson, their dates Ronalda Peterson and Bonnie Johnson the Prom got off to a fine start. BUDDHA’S MEMORIES OLD AND NEW Freddy Fredericks and his orchestra provided enchanting music for dancing couples. Refreshments were served from the con- cessions stand in the lobby by waitressess adorned in Chinese costumes. Buffet and blue plate service were used to serve ice cream, cake, punch, and coffee. In the lobby, couples met with friends and registered their dance programs. Decorating before prom night was really quite fun for all of the juniors who partici- pated . Many times decorations were taken down and improved by these wide awake kids. After a night without any sleep, rol- ling ribbons seemed an awful big job. Tired juniors found out it was fun to frolic but hard to stay awake and work the next day. While discussing the prom, Mr. and Mrs. McCus- ky and Mr. and Mrs. Crosgrove admired the creatively constructed oriental temple. Juniors worked hard decorating the gym in an atmosphere of Shangri-la. 90 OF SHANGRI-LA IN GOLD AND BLUE Much time was saved when Dave Kuehl manufactur- ed a gadget for rolling ribbon from the decorations, a much appreciated item since juniors usually aren't in very good shape the next day. Mr. Veglahn and his wife display dancing ability acquir- ed from many former proms. Bound feet and kimonos ornamented sophomores waitresses; J. Holte, S. Finnestad, J. Raymond, D. Hanson, N. Monsen, and D. Lofgren. STANDING: J. Hagen, D. Eickhoff, J. Hoffman, J. Curry, P. Bayerkohler, B. Wassman, S. Wolner, M. Spitzner, M. Ball. 91 AS SENIORS REMEMBERED THE PAST THE HONOR TEN: June Kuehl, Ronalda Peterson, Judy Johnson, Tom Sturm, Sandy Johnson, Martha Erickson, Dave Warner, Pete Mattson, Mike Sturm, Bill Crowley. The Baccalaureate address was given by Rev. Calvin Berg. 92 THEY LOOKED AHEAD TO THE FUTURE The Commencement Welcome address was given by Peter Mattson. The featured speaker of the evening was Dr. George W. Anderson, of Gustavus Adolphus College, who spoke on Time--A Puzzle and a Challenge. The Seniors took time out of exercises to sing one last time with the choir. The Farewell address was given by Michael Sturm. 93 “I'M PART OF ALL THAT I’VE MET People often say that they wish they had been born into an age of conquest and ex- ploration; many say there's nothing left to discover or invent. Nothing could be farther from the truth. We live in an age of discrimination and want as well as prosperity and knowledge. For those wil- ling to seek, there's much to do. We are the future lifeblood of a great, pulsating nation. Are we going to let our country down? The answer is a firm, resounding No. Fads and wild dances are nothing new; they were around when our grandparents were young and will be here for posterity. They are not neces- sarily representative of a degenerating young society but are, in most cases, merely a stage of development on the road to responsible adulthood. If a high school education has instilled in us the ideas that we still have much to learn and that graduation is not an end but a new starting point, it will have accomplished one of its main purposes. And so another class graduates from St. James High. Some of us will succeed; others will fail. But no matter where our varied paths lead us, everything we did here will always be a part of us. Let us hope that the side of us that we present to the world always reflects the highest ideas and attitudes that we have developed at St. James High.
