Text from Pages 1 - 98 of the 1931 volume:

PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF ST. LOUIS PARK HIGH SCHOOL ST. LOUIS PARK, MINN. ±=i DEDICATION In this, the third Echowan, we have attempted to embody some of the ideals and traits of character to be found in our steadfast friend and adviser, Mr. N. H. McKay. We speak of truth, loyalty and fair play. DEDICATION To the molder of men and the maker of character and champion football teams, we dedicate this 1931 Echowan to Coach Nemec, and to the Lake District Champions. MR. ROBERT E. SCOTT Superintendent of Schools T HE 19 3 1 EC H O W A N ACHIEVEMENT HIS class has won distinction for itself, its members, and the high school. They have excelled any former class in speech, dramatics, and declamation. Five of the senior class starred in our champion football team. Theirs has been a spirit of cooperation, friendliness, and success. The class motto, “100% in Everything” has been a fine aim. No member expected to reach this goal but the attempts to reach it have been stimulating and worth while. Events, difficulties, and examinations of this school year will seem like child’s play when looked back upon by these same class members in the future. But this excellent book will always remind the students of the interesting friendships and happenings occurring this year. Each individual member of this class of 1931 owes it to himself to succeed in his chosen line. Thus, will achievement and worthy praise come to our beloved school and community. It is true that for some villages or communities it is a regular thing for its young people to go to college, to enter upon higher and more important achievements. From these communities come our noted men and women. They are the doers and achievers. Other communities are always backward; the people seem to have no bright hopes or high aspirations for themselves or their children. The point is for all the class to carry on with the class motto, “100% in Everything” and it will finally bring success, honor, and happiness, individually and collectively. There is work of service for each one to do. The sooner each class member finds his chosen niche, the happier he will be. The results will then begin to pile up in favor of the individual and community and the state. Congratulations and success to all. Robert E. Scott, Superintendent. FOREWORD THE hope foremost in our minds as we labored on this, the third annual Echowan was that you will enjoy this book many years hence. School days, as you look back upon them, will always be your happiest memories, and for that reason we have attempted in this book, to embody pictures and stories of 1931, which you will cherish most.

Through their efforts we have been able to hear several prominent speakers during the year. As in years before, the council has sponsored various programs, such as “Courtesy Week. The Student Council has worked out a plan which will eliminate a large share of the expenses of the school year for the students who arc interested in social activities. This will be accomplished through a so-called “Student Activity 1 icket. With Mr. McKay as its sponsor, the Student Council is a very worth-while institution. 133 | THE 1931 ECHO WAN Front Row—Simmons, Mr. McKay, Appleby, Anderson.

THE ECHO STAFF THE second year of the school paper in printed form, brought many changes. One of the first adjustments was the change of the name of “The Echo” to that of “The Park Echo.” It is agreed that this made the paper a more distinctive organ. The second change was the creation of various definite departments, with reporters to cover each. The third step toward improvement was the acceptance of the paper into the National Scholastic Press Association, which offers free criticism to all school papers. The editor availed herself often of the opportunity of consulting this bureau. The paper was successfully carried on under the capable direction of the editor.

The purpose of the organization has been to promote interests in the commercial field. The qualifications of the modern business girl in regard to training, manners, and dress, have been studied. One of the projects sponsored by the club, this year, was a typewriting contest.

Everybody reported a good time. On May S, Avon Lees entertained at his home. The club did expect refreshments but were delightfully surprised by being served a real meal. Such a party will long be remembered by the club. Dayton Amundson has also invited the club to his home for a dinner May 22nd. Another good time is in store. During the latter part of this year Mr. Schrader has acted as adviser in place of Mr. Wing, who resigned.

The A club sang the Brahms Lullaby at the Open House Program, and a small group from both sections took part in the Christmas program. On April 24, the glee clubs, the band and orchestra, siring quartet and other special groups, presented a Musicale. On May 2 the girls participated in the district Music Contest held at St. Paul. The girls were awarded second prize. H6 1 THE 1931 ECHO W A N Front Row—Applr' uisl, Hcndcrson, Chelherg, Edwards, Miss Osterberg, Warren, Wood fill, Wetsling, Harper, Prall. SECOND Row—Pilcher, .V.

The Boys’ Glee Club has participated in many programs during the sch(x l year. This year as an added feature, Miss Osterberg has a Boys’ Octet. They have entertained us at various times, and they have done surprisingly well. The boys were entered in the contest held at St. Paul, and they also helped to present the Musicale. r 471 THE 1931 ECHO WAN Front Row— arrington, Rudr, ). Hobart, Prall, Wood fill. Wing, Clark, C.

THE BAND OINCE the time the band was organized its membership has doubled. The vj pupils come to practice regularly two times a week and by Mr. Roder’s guidance they have improved a hundred per cent. This year they played for the Hennepin County P. T. A. at Bloomington and also for the Hennepin County Council held at this school. They appeared at a few basketball games and at the Ice Carnival given by the High School P. T. A. They also took part in the Musicale which was given this spring but Mr. Roder did not feel that they had had enough practice to enter the music contest. Through the cooperation of the school board, the school was able to supply members with instruments they wished. Owing to the fact that the band will be minus some of its soloists next year, we hope there will be many more musicians who will enter the band.

THE ORCHESTRA OUR high school Orchestra has advanced rapidly this year under the leadership of Miss Glendenning. There are twenty-three members in this organization of which there are eight who play violins, two, violas, two, cornets, six, reed instruments, one, trombone, one, cello, one, bass viol, and one drum. Elizabeth Bullard plays the piano. There arc several beginning students in the Orchestra. It is hoped that due to the instruction in Instrument Classes, there will be many more new members next year. The Orchestra entered the district music contest and placed second. This was very good considering the fact that the other orchestras were older and larger organizations. [49] THE 19 3 1 ECHO WAN FRIENDSHIP A SINCERE desire to do for others, Is to what friendship clings, The pleasure of doing an act of fondness, Is in the happy smile it brings. True friends prove themselves by word and deed, Being a friend merits the trust of all, Believing in one for what he is, Faithfully answers friendship’s call. —Cora Louise Appleby.

THE BASKETBALL SQUAD rHE basketball team this year did not emerge as victorious as the football scjuad. Taking into consideration, however, the strenuous season of grid work the boys put in, it is thought that they did very well. Paul Sorenson, who earned for himself the name of the “Flash,” captained the team, which fought hard and clean throughout the entire season. Excellent sportsmanship characterized every game that was played. The team next year will be made wholly of second team recruits with the exception of Triden, Felber, Chelberg, Thomas, Erickson, Williams, ('lark and Norris. The graduating members are Robert Wilcox, Ralph Woodfill, Burton Koelfgen, Thomas Whalen and Paul Sorenson. Although the team will feel the loss of these star players they expect to have an equally fine team next year. 1511 THE 1 9 .3 1 E C H O W A N REVIEW OF REVIEWS Paul Sorenson played right halfback and what a nice job of it he did. Through his offensive work he was placed on the All-District Second Team. Ralph Woodfill at first played end. He was shifted to blocking fullback which position he filled extremely well. It is the blockers like Ralph that college coaches want. Earle Warren played right tackle and through his work the Parks were able to run up a big score against Excelsior. He was rewarded by being placed on the All-District Second Team. Charles Humason played right guard with Warren. The two were the best linemen on our team. We expect much of these two boys next year. Charles was also placed on the All-District Second Team. Burton Koelfgen played left tackle and guard. Burt always gave the best he had and he always made a good showing. George Williams played left end holding up his side well enough to receive All-District Honors. Thomas Whalen was the team's quarterback who threw the passes. He played his position so well that he ranked on the All-District First Team. Robert Wilcox with Hector Clark played right end. Robert made two touchdowns this year and was a good open field tackier. Herbert Brown played left tackle. His work in the offensive field was very well done. Charles Berdan played left guard and many a time the Park rooters saw Charles cut down a runner. Manley Norris played left halfback except in the Excelsior game when he played fullback. Manley was a credit to his team. Lloyd Wessling played center with Lewis Triden. Lloyd showed some fine work in the Mound game. Hector Clark also played an excellent game in the position of right end. Lewis Triden usually started at center and gave all he had for his school,— which was plenty. Wesley Felber gave promise of a brilliant football record for the year but he was injured early in the game thus putting him out for practically the entire year. Arthur Erickson played his best in the game with Bloomington as utility end. Carl Erickson’s work as tackle and guard can be well appreciated in his game with Excelsior. Fred Triden displayed fine tackle work in the games with Hopkins and University High. Ray Milbert contributed some fine work on the defensive in the University High game. Merrill Prall played utility guard and gave Mound’s guard some tough opposition.

PARK THE football game between Bloomington and the Park took place Tuesday, October 14, at St. Louis Park. The Park team literally ran away with the game. Paul Sorenson, our star half-back made the first touchdown. The cheering section went wild. The third touchdown was also made by Sorenson. He caught a 40-yard pass thrown by Whalen. Whalen scored a touchdown and we received the point by a pass from Whalen to Sorenson, who carried it over the line. The boys’ team work was wonderful. They cooperated in every respect. Every man on the team worked his best to bring about victory for the Park. The game ended with a score of 38-0, in our favor. It was a glorious victory for us and gave our men some real confidence. HOPKINS VS. PARK ON Friday, October 13, the Park rooters and the team dauntlessly ventured out into the cold wind and snow to their ancient opponent’s field to engage in a contest with them. The first quarter of this game was very uneventful. Each team played a very good defensive game. Then in the beginning of the second quarter, Whalen carried the ball. Up the field he dodged, then he plunged over center and we had the first score of the game. The extra point was made by a pass from Whalen to Williams and it was good. This much desired point insured us victory over the Hopkins team. In the third quarter the Hopkins team scored a touchdown but they failed to make the point. No scoring was done in the last quarter. So, for the irst time in years the Parks were victorious over their rival, Hopkins. THE 1931 ECU () W A N EXCELSIOR VS. PARK HIS game was started with high feelings on the Park side. We made an X excellent showing, in fact, it was believed that there were more Park rooters than Excelsior fans at the game, which took place October 1 at Excelsior. The game was a splendid one. Four of our players made touchdowns. They were Wilcox, Tridcn, Whalen and Sorenson. St. Louis Park almost ran away with the game. The field was clear most of the time. The Parks won by a score of 4X-0, which was received with high spirits by the winners, and good sportsmanship by the losers. THE Maroon and Gold, University High team’s hopes for the championship were blasted when St. Louis Park, Orange and Black team, out-scrapped them and vanquished them in the last two minutes of play, with a superb passing attack. The final score was 20-14 in favor of the Parks. At the beginning of the second quarter the small Park team worked down to the 20-yard line only to be held by the large U. line. At the last of the half the smaller team was throwing their opponents for continued losses. In the last half of the first score was on a pass from Whalen to Williams who carried the ball across. The drop kick failed. Then U. High scored and made their point. Then our flashy star, Paul Sorenson, made another touchdown, making the score 13-7. “U” High came back with a spurt and Bcngston went over for a touchdown. The extra point was good. This put “U” High in the lead 14-13. The Park team advanced with a scries of passes from Tom Whalen, and had gained the 17-yard line with only 3 minutes to play. A long pass from Whalen was received by Sorenson over the goal line and the extra point was kicked by Tom, making the score 20-14. Park kicked off and held the U. High team in Park territory. The whistle blew and the Lake District Championship was OURS. The well-beloved team was carried from the field on the shoulders of the Park rooters. UNIVERSITY HIGH VS. ST.
