SCOTT To the good friend who has ended his final year of service as St. Louis Park Superintendent of Schools, to the man who has inspired us with noble ideals and achievements, Mr. Robert E. Scott, we respectfully dedicate this fourth edition of the Echowan, and wish him much success in his future work. 1932 EC HO WAN A PERSONAL MESSAGE 1. Are you strengthening your character each day? 2. Do you grow hourly in personality? 3. What have you found arc the best aids in developing citizenship in our high school? 4. Have you kept up and improved your scholarship? 5. Arc you keeping physically and mentally fit? The answer to the five questions mentioned above arc very important, especially if each one can l e answered in the affirmative. A consideration of them involves the aims and objectives of a high school education. Each one overlaps the other to such a degree that they arc inseparable. The average hoy and girl in the home is often woefully heedless of good manners. If good manners do not begin at home they will not function 100 per cent in public, at dinner parties, or in the theater. Not enough attention is given to etiquette—etiquette of eating, etiquette on the street, etiquette at dances, etc. Each youth interested in developing personality should inquire of, or watch persons who know, or study the subject from such books as Emily Post's Etiquette Hooks. Dr. Randall J. Condon, the noted educator, says of character and citizenship: “Character is higher than intellect. The supreme end of education and life is the development of fine character and worthy citizenship; the things of the spirit are of the greatest concern in teaching.” A few students finish or leave high school worse than they were when they entered it, but the great majority strengthen their ability to decide for themselves and to choose lhe better things. Most of them arc well trained in honesty and respect for other people’s property. Student participation in school government develops leaders and leadership. The Student Council or I ligh School Senate made up of the leaders in the different classes is of tremendous service in bettering school conditions if the proper leadership is developed. The normal high school student is far ahead of the same aged factory worker or clerk, in character, morals, mentality, and physical fitness. Attendance in high school tends to inspire youths to greater effort, to cleaner living and to higher standards of efficiency. Personality or “it seems to be an inborn quality; at least, the capacity to develop personality seems to be inherited. But on the other hand much can be accomplished by the individual himself to improve his personality. Practice each day on these personal characteristics and you will at once begin to sec improvement in them: First, show every courtesy; second, demonstrate the power of kindness; third, think before speaking; fourth, cultivate the attribute of decision; fifth, show a willingness to do more than you arc expected to do; sixth, keep physical and mental poise; seventh, give generous sympathy in time of need; eighth, take real interest in people; ninth, remember a person’s name and use it; and last, be firm, but not too positive in manner. To keep physically and mentally fit one must not carry on to excess in anything. You must not over eat, over dress, or over-exercise. One should not take poison into the system in any form. He must keep happy, optimistic, and live in harmony with his neighbors, family, and friends. In conclusion, we wish our high school to reach all the children of high school age in our community. We wish to have our vocational guidance function so well that every young person is successfully and happily at work in some life vocation. We desire to give all our high school students definite practice in citizenship. We hope to so present the class work that each pupil becomes familiar with the great masters, the great discoveries, and the great achievements of the world, and we desire, finally, to present such opportunities to our high school students that they will greatly improve their personality, character, and scholarship. Robert E. Scott, Superintendent of Schools. Page Five N. H. McKAY, PRINCIPAL Senior Class Adviser FOREWORD )UR thought, as we put the Final touches to these pages, is that we have created a book of memories that will be cherished by you among your valued possessions.

You're bound to succeed ” ADMINISTRATION 1932 ECHOWAN A TRIBUTE TO THE UNKNOWN TEACHER JND what of teaching? Ah, there you have the worst paid, and the best re-x. JL warded, of all the vocations. Dare not to enter it unless you love it. For the vast majority of men and women it has no promise of wealth or fame, hut they, to whom it is dear for its own sake, are among the nobility of mankind. I sing the praise of the unknown teacher. Great generals win campaigns, but it is the unknown soldier who wins the war. Famous educators plan new systems of pedagogy, but it is the unknown teacher who delivers and guides the young. He lives in obscurity and contends with hardship. For him no trumpets blare, no chariots wait, no golden decorations are decreed. He keeps the watch along the borders of darkness and makes the attack on the trenches of ignorance and folly. Patient in his daily duty, he strives to conquer the evil powers which are the enemies of youth. He awakens sleeping spirits. He quickens the indolent, encourages the eager, and steadies the unstable. He communicates his own joy in learning and shares with boys and girls the best treasures of his mind. He lights many candles, which in later years, will shine back to cheer him. This is his reward. Knowledge may be gained from books; but the love of knowledge is transmitted only by personal contact. No one has deserved better of the republic than the unknown teacher. No one is more worthy to be enrolled in a democratic aristocracy, “King of Himself and Servant of Mankind. —Henry Van Dyke.

JUNIOR CLASS President - Vice-President Secretary - Treasurer Advisers 4£ THE junior class, composed of 65 members, has been very active in school affairs during the past year. As they are to be seniors next year, the class is striving to raise its standards in athletics, good sportsmanship, scholarship, and everything else necessary to a good all-round class. In football, the juniors made an unusual showing, with Earle Warren, Emmett Chclbcrg, Lewis Tridcn, Jon Whelan, Wesley Felber, and Hector Clark on the first team. The football season would have been a sad affair, had it not l een for these boys. In basketball, Hector Clark, Norman and Sherwood Nelson, Lewis Tridcn, Wesley Felber, and Emmett Chclbcrg were on the team. Among these are some of Park’s best players, and some who were at times high-scorers and outstanding players. It is not surprising that the juniors won the inter-class tournament.

On December 11 and 12, the juniors presented their class play, “Cozy Corners.” The cast worked very hard under the direction of Miss Jessie Miller, and the production was generally admitted to lx the best class play within convenient memory. Earlcnc Ainsworth, junior class protege, thrilled, but failed to surprise, every one by taking second place in the state declamatory contest, for her dramatic selection, “Patsy.” When one considers the fact that she had to win first place in three other contests even to be allowed to compete at the State, one cannot help but feel that she deserves even more recognition than she has received. The juniors elected to the student council this year Emmett Chelbcrg, Lillian Hal vorson, and Howard Samuelson. These, in addition to the former members, Robert Nylander, Wesley Fclbcr, and LaVernc Larsen, comprise an excellent representation. Juniors who were on the Honor Roll this year arc Frances Bruemmer, Gunhild Lindquist, and Emmett Chelberg.

Class election was held September 25, with Benjamin Brown acting as chairman. The sophomores were well represented in football. (Jail Simmons, Gerard King, James Harrington, William McAdams, Henry Milbcrt, Robert Stevens, Benjamin Brown, John Cooper, George Cory, Earl Forsberg, and Donald Christianson were among those who made an enviable record this year and received valuable training for next year’s team. The class also has had representation on the honor roll; the students who have achieved this distinction include Harold Applequist, Dorothy Ycates, Charles Anthony, Carol Doyle, and William Michel. Several sophomore boys also turned out for basketball, one of whom, Gail Simmons, was taken to the tournament. Others were Kermit Lundecn, David Michelson, Gerard King, Henry Milbcrt. Benjamin Brown, William McAdams, and John Cooper. In girls’ sports, many sophomores participated.

The girls’ basketball team composed of sophomores defeated the freshmen, but lost to the juniors, thus taking second place, Girls who participated in various sports were: Doris Dahlquist, Dorothy Yeates, Eleanor Holmgren, Grace Blodgett, Reta Dean, Kathryn Sewall, Marian Sorenson, Marian Renner, Georgia Potts, Dorothy Koelfgen, Hetty Peterson, Inez DeVore, Edith Johnson, Joyce Prall, Kathryn Dunn, Pauline Rude, Rena Dean, and Irene Langford. Many sophomore girls are members of the Girls' Glee Club, and several boys are in the Boys’ Glee Club. Others are in the band and orchestra. There are also members of the class on the Echo Staff, and there arc five sophomore members of the Student Council, elected by the class. They arc Ruth Hilbelink, Harold Applcquist, Charles Anthony, Joyce Prall, and Benjamin Brown. In January the sophomores sponsored a pep fest. Mr. Johnson of the Minneapolis Park Hoard, spoke on “Sportsmanship.” This talk was very much appreciated, and spurred the team on to better playing, and the students to better sportsmanship. In February, the sophomores took a vote on the cap and gown question, when the juniors and seniors voted on the same thing. The sophomores voted almost unanimously in favor of the adoption of caps and gowns as the regulation graduation dress. The sophomores indulged in deep mental concentration when they endeavored to find a way of making money, but finally managed to raise the funds necessary for their Echowan pictures. After this very successful year, the sophomores will be ready to take up the strenuous activities of their junior year.

Large representations in athletics, literature, music, scholarship, society, and everything else which makes up high school life, seemed well furnished with eager, intelligent freshmen, prepared to get going with a bang. Many freshmen boys reported for football. They were Velman Fitch, Cliff Code, Dave Wiest, Roy Whipps, Don Graff, Rob Felbcr, Jack McAdams, Rud Harper, A1 Arnc-son, Dick Rates, Rill Johnson, and Sidney and Henry Jensen. This strong showing will make a fine team after more training and experience. They were defeated, however, this year in a game with Wayzata freshmen by a score of 6-0. Their basketball team consisted of many of the same group: Jack McAdams, Cliff Code, Velman Fitch, Rob Felbcr, A1 Arneson, Rill Johnson, Henry and Sidney Jensen, Dick Rates, and Don Graff. Their basketball games were won and lost as follows: Juniors 16, Freshmen, 4; Sophomores second team, 12, Freshmen, 24; Sophomores second team, 8, Freshmen, 16; Fortyniners, 32, Freshmen, 10.

Besides basketball and volleyball, they organized with Miss Lundquist a Tumbling Club, which performed several times. The freshman girls’ volleyball team won third place among the classes, after defeating the sophomores. Their basketball team lost to both sophomores and seniors, but made an excellent showing, and has high hopes for future improvement. The freshmen put on a remarkable little skit in their pep meeting, which will be remembered long after its production. The fine acting by Elaine Kaeding, Jack McAdams, Douglese Swanson, and Arden Van Horsscn will not soon be forgotten. Freshmen on the honor roll were William Pinney, Richard Rebmann, Douglese Swanson, David Wiest, Joan Anderson, Clifford Code, Robert Felbcr, Doris Ferrell, Lucille Larson, Lorraine Lauer, La Varre Norris, Dorothy Berdan, and I onald Hendrickson. The freshmen found honor in the rise of Donald Morton, a newcomer, to the post of head cheer leader and have had good reason to be proud of their classmate, who approaches perfection in this capacity. A masquerade party on the evening of April Fool’s Day afforded the social background for the class. Every one enjoyed games and dancing. New freshmen members of the Student Council were elected in January. They were Henry Jensen, La Varre Norris, and Robert Felbcr. In addition, the class was represented by Jack McAdams, Lucille Larsen, and Marjorie Rainey, whose terms were lengthened to cover the rest of the year. As well as the freshmen chorus, to which all the boys and girls belong, many of the girls have received excellent additional training in the Freshman Girls’ Glee Club. Many of the freshmen arc in the band and orchestra.

STUDENT COUNCIL David Hobart Wesley Fei.ber Alice Mitchell La Verne Larsen Mr. McKay President Vice-President Secretary T reasurer Adviser THE Student Council has had as its main objective this year, the successful launching of the Student Activity Ticket plan. In addition to this, the council has sponsored and procured assembly entertainments, taken charge of ticket taking at programs and athletic events, promoted the cap and gown issue, and advanced other ideas for the benefit of the school. Until February, the organization was composed of twelve members, with Mr. McKay as its adviser. At that time more members, three from each of the lower three classes, were chosen, and Miss Hanson and Miss Lundquist were selected as additional advisers. All the old members remained in the council. The Student Activity Tickets were sold for $3.00 to sophomores, juniors, and seniors, and for $2.25 to 7th and 8th graders and freshmen. The ticket admitted the owner to football and basketball games, assembly programs, junior and senior class plays, debates and declamatory contests here at school, and entitled him to a school annual, and the school paper. About 200 tickets were sold. The fund maintained by the council from these tickets was divided on a basis of a certain amount for each activity in the case of junior and senior class plays and the school annual. For the other activities, the money was distributed as needed rather than according to any set amount. A dinner served by the Home Management class to the council after its first meeting with the new members was the only social event of the year.

To this end all the members of the staff worked faithfully and diligently. Although the annual was not built on a true theme, it has an art motif of fantastic birds which undoubtedly surpasses any work in the past. The book itself is 16 pages larger than formerly, and contains more snapshots and other various features than before. It has been the effort of the staff to combine the good points of other year books, both from St. Louis Park High School and from others, with pleasing original ideas to make a book that its owners may truly enjoy.

This is the third year there has been a printed Echo. The stall has done more of its own work than in former years. The editor and her assistant went to the Review office, where the paper was printed, every month, and set up the paper, read proof, and wrote headlines. The policy of the Par Echo is to present accounts of events in direct fashion and to be a lively paper which the students will enjoy reading. The stafT for next year was chosen in the latter part of March. Headed by Margaret Folsom, as Editor-in-Chicf, Howard Samuelson, as Press Editor, and Merrill Prall, as Business Manager, it published the last issue of the Echo this year.

DELTA EPSILON Irma Simmons Ethan Hird -Alice Mitchell Cyrus Krake Mr. Haynes President 17 ice-President Secretary T teasurer Adviser THE Delta Epsilon Club originated as a class club in the freshman year of the class of 32, and it will be discontinued in the school with the graduation of the same class this year. The aim of the club has been to promote sportsmanship, friendship, and scholarship in the high school. An average of C-f- on report card grades is a requirement for membership, and every new member took the oath of the club at the time of his initiation, pledging friendship and sportsmanship to the school and his fellow students. In their junior year, the club members put out the first printed hand-book in the history of the high school. This book contained school rules, talks on sportsmanship, and pep songs and yells. These books were sold for what it cost to print them. During its senior year the club has sponsored several pep fests and purchased two megaphones for the use of the school cheer leaders. Mrs. Haynes was elected an honorary member this year, and she now attends the meetings and social gatherings. Club parties have been rather numerous, quite amusing, and exceedingly enjoyable. The club is composed of lively members anti has been one of the most active and beneficial clubs in the high school for several years leading all other organizations in service toward the school and pleasures within itself.

BERPLUNDERSON BROTHERHOOD Brother Asplund............................Grand Exalted Ruler Brother Hurd.......................................... Vice-Ruler Brother Henderson..........................Executive Secretary Brother Hobart..........................................Treasurer THE Berplunderson Brotherhood was formally organized March 25, 1931. Election of officers was not such a simple matter as it first appeared. Four meetings were held on the subject, and then it became evident that all choices were unanimous, so Mr. Asplund became the Grand Exalted Ruler, Mr. Krake the secretary, and Mr. Hobart, the treasurer. The positions of Vice-Rulcrship were occupied by Brothers Dale, Brown, Norris, Piepho, Berdan, and I lenderson, in respective order. Several wise and just by-laws were made, and the Brotherhood became an active force in the school. All this occurred in the spring of 1931, which has often appeared to be the finest and most fruitful period of the Brotherhood’s existence. Attendance at the first baseball game, weiner roasts and blow-outs, the Berpie Chambers, the organization of the Berpie band, important legislation, abolition of the Board of Directors, consisting of all original members, the charity football game in the field of mud, the successful basketball games, the anniversary banquet, and finally, the publication of the “Berplunderson Tribunal,” occupied their attentions. This association organized without constructive aim and purpose, save that of good fellowship and fun, developed in spite of itself to paramount importance, not only to its members, but also to the entire school. r Page Thirty-Seven 1932 ECHOWAN � Fourth Row—Stevens, Brown, Hurd, Asplund, Olson, Reilly.

BAND Lloyd Wessling -Margaret Folsom James Henderson Mr. Roder President 0 Librarians Director 77ACH year as the departing seniors graduate, they leave the band in a deflated condi-M j tion. Of the nineteen members this year, seven are seniors. Most of these seven have had from four to six years experience with the band, and their loss will be keenly felt, especially as there is a decided lack of material to be expected from the grades. Considering the handicaps presented him, Mr. Roder has made this small band worth while. The players practiced every Tuesday and Thursday during the club period. Two public appearances were made this year. The first was on Open Night, November 10, when a very commendable piece of work was done. The second was at the Indoor Carnival held at the Riding Academy March 8. The band did not enter the contest this year because of the small membership and imperfect balance of parts, but the prospects for next year are fairly good.

ORCHESTRA Earle Warren Walleska Eva no fi- | Mary Rita Johnson Miss Glendenning President Librarians Director rHE orchestra has received much favorable comment this year as it has improved from former years under Miss Glcndenning's able direction this year and last. The players have undertaken the playing of many more difficult selections, hitherto not attempted. The orchestra played on Open Night, November 10, alone, and several members accompanied singers from the glee clubs. Weekly and bi-weekly rehearsals were held throughout the year, and the players improved immensely as to harmony and technique. In spite of the fact that a number of excellent musicians went with last year’s graduating class, the ability of the members as individuals increased so noticeably that the orchestra as a unit was much improved. The orchestra accomplished a fine work, not only by educating the members, as it did very well, but also by pleasing a great number of persons, who heard it several times throughout the year.

Although there have been very few public appearances, the girls have been doing beautiful work and at the same time learning a great deal about music from Miss Osterberg. The glee club sang for Open Night, November 10, and also at the junior class play, “Cozy Corners.” From Christmas until the middle of March, its efforts were directed toward the production of “Pinafore,” in which it united with the Boys’ Glee Club. The Girls' Glee Club was scheduled to enter the district music contest in the latter part of April. First place was taken by the girls, giving them the right to compete in the state contest, May 6. Glee club work will always be of interest in this school, and it is predicted that there will be another fine club next year.

It is composed entirely of freshmen. The girls meet every Wednesday the second period, and they have gained much valuable knowledge and experience which will make them useful in the high school glee club next year. The girls first participated in the Open Night program, during which they sang as a part of the large Junior High Chorus of 300 voices. The club also sang carols in the Park at Christmas time. A selected group sang for the freshman pep test given in January. Twenty of the girls competed in the district music contest held April 23, and took second place. The girls have shown a remarkable interest in this work. They themselves desired the organization of such a club, the high school club being too large to admit any more.

BOYS GLEE CLUB Hector Clark..................................................President Emmett Chelberg.............................................- Secretary Lloyd Wessling................................................Librarian Miss Osterberg.................................................Director THE Boys’ Glee Club has been unusually small this year, and has especially lacked first tenor singers. There are also very few second tenors, most of the club being composed of first and second basses. The boys, however, have worked hard to improve the quality and quantity of the club. The Boys’ Glee Club sang for the Open Night, and several of them sang with a few girls on that occasion. Aside from this appearance, none other has been made. When the boys’ and girls' clubs united in the production of “Pinafore,” Herbert Applequist, a post graduate, was asked to take the boys’ lead. At that time, David Hobart, John Asplund, and Arthur Erickson also joined the club to aid in the chorus work for the opera. The boys did not enter the contest because of the lack of good balance in the voices. It is hoped that a much greater interest will be shown by boys of the high school next year.

It was decided that the name “Pi Beta Gamma (Park Business (iirls) should be used another year. After Christmas, speakers explained various occupations in which the girls were interested. Mrs. Falconer, of the Loretta Smith Shoppe, gave a most interesting talk, in which she outlined the work in a beauty parlor. Mr. McKay gave a brief talk, in which he spoke of the jobs for women in a bank. Miss Caldwell of the St. Andrew’s Hospital, discussed at length nursing as an occupation. Miss Ersted of the Sales Training Department of Powers Mercantile Company, gave an enjoyable talk on the types of work for girls in a department store.

The 4-H Club attempts to train girls in four important things, to which they pledge themselves: their heads, their hearts, their hands, and their health. Miss Luebner is doing much to make the 4-H work popular. This year she was presented a gold pin by the county 4-H Agent, for her five years of leadership in the 4-H Club. This is the sixth year that 4-H Club has been in existence here. During the past five years the girls have received their gold seals, which means that they have received one hundred per cent in the finishing of their projects. In this club the girls are divided in three classes in their projects. There are a cake project, a bread project, and first, second and third years of sewing offered. “Make the best better,” is the motto to which all the 4-H girls try to live up.

Trips were planned to poultry plants, a chick hatchery, a fur farm and rabbitry, and a greenhouse and plant nursery. Fifteen members of the club raised an average of fifty baby chicks each. About fifty rabbits were also raised. Hoys who went in for gardening planned to assist their families during the summer with a supply of fresh vegetables. In addition to their projects, the club members expect to exhibit their products at the County fair in the fall. The 4-H club of the United States is the largest young people’s club in the world. Its pledge explains the four h’s: head, heart, hand, and health, and gives some conception of its aim. Pledge: “I pledge my head to clearer thinking, my heart to greater loyalty, my hands to larger service, and my health to better living, for my club, my community, and my country.” Page Forty-Five 1932 ECHO WAN Si. co n'd Row—Renner, Die kin ton, H'estling, Ainsworth.

DECLAMATION Miss Nease Coach CONSIDERABLE interest was shown this year in declamatory work, due to the fac that this was the second year St. Louis Park had contestants in the regional, interregional, and state contests. At the school contest, of the six contestants entered, Ethan Hurd, the only oratorical speaker, was given first, reading “The Fifth Horseman”; Ear-Iene Ainsworth, first in the dramatic section, with the selection “Patsy, and Lloyd Wess-ling, first in the humorous section, giving “Over the Radio. These students entered the sub-district contest at Hopkins February 18, where all three were awarded first places by a unanimous decision of the judges. The district contest was held at Chaska February 24, where Earlcne and Lloyd received first, and Ethan second. At the regional contest at Wayzata March 1, Earlene took first, and Lloyd, second, and at the inter regional at St. Cloud, March 8, Earlene was again victorious. It was only at the state contest, held at the Y. W. C. A. in Minneapolis, that she met defeat, placing second, and then only by a margin of one point. Other entrants in the dramatic division in the school competition were Alyce Cuvellicr and Evelyn Dickinson. Marian Renner was the other contestant in the humorous section. Miss Nease, the able declamatory coach, deserves much credit for her splendid and untiring work. The results of her efforts have been very apparent in the results of contests both this year and last.

DEBATE Mr. Haynes Coach DEBATING on the question, “Resolved, That the Several States Enact Legislation Providing for Compulsory Unemployment Insurance,” the St. Louis Park teams debated with several local forensic teams this year. The opponents were from Bloomington and Chaska. The outcome of this season's contests was due largely to the fact that the notice of debate work and contests was given out so late that the members of the teams who were almost entirely inexperienced had little time for preparation. The results were: Park negative I, Bloomington affirmative, 2; Chaska negative, 2, Park affirmative, 1; Chaska negative, 2, Park affirmative, 1. Graduations of last year dissolved a well-organized team, but by hard work, under the direction of Mr. Haynes, the two teams managed to present good contests. In proportion to the amount of time spent in athletics and other activities and the benefit derived by participants and spectators from them, there is too little interest shown in forensics for the amount of time and study necessary previous to deliverance. The subject used this year for debates according to many judges and authorities was the hardest topic for discussion in the history of Minnesota debate work. The negative team was composed of Ethan Hurd, Lloyd Wessling, and Merrill Prall, with Gunhild Lindquist as alternative, and the affirmative team of Alycc Cuvellier, Ruth Darr, and Evangeline Ulrich, with Margaret Folsom as alternative.

The vice-president of the organization acts as program chairman, and prepares an entertainment for each meeting. The program consists of readings by members or visitors. At one of the meetings, Miss Jessie Miller gave a very interesting lecture on makeup, demonstrated the proper street makeup, and also the makeup she used when playing a role in “The Vagabond King.” At another meeting the club discussed schools of expression and the branches of speech training offered at these schools. The members of the Paint and Patches Club presented a series of tableaus at Christmas time, aided by singers of the girls’ glee club and some boys who played the masculine parts. These tableaus were given at a P. T. A. meeting, and later for the school Christmas party. Page Forty-Eight 1932 ECHO WAN Fourth Row—Filch, Ferry, Johnson, Havens. Johansen, TownscnJ.

KODAK CLUB Carroll Friegang Jane Attwooll Bernard Moritz Straider Stacke Mr. Nelson President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Adviser rHE object of the Kodak Club is to become better acquainted with the mysteries of the camera. The members learn how to develop and print pictures. Though they are yet amateurs they arc finding it a fascinating experience and an educational hobby. Here they find a valuable as well as interesting pastime. Unfortunately, the developing and printing of films includes a cost which at times grows to unhappy dimensions. One of the club s main problems has been the raising of money, but the difficulty is approaching a solution. The Kodak Club now has its dark room, or laboratory, which they themselves made and equipped, in the control room opposite the Science rooms. This they have equipped with all the fixtures necessary for the developing and printing of pictures, using four solutions and other processes. The Kodak Club has twenty members. As it is so strong in its first year in Park High School, it may be expected to become a very active organization in following years.

GIRL SCOUTS —TROOP 11 Mrs. Moffat -Miss Hanson -Marjorie Christensen Vivian Johnson Gunhild Lindquist Liala Stratton Captain - Lieutenant Patrol leaders DURING the year 1931-32, the Girl Scouts of Troop 11 have been working toward their second and first class badges. The tenderfoot girls have been practicing signalling, gathering material for their nature requirement, and doing many other things necessary to earn the second class badge. The girls working for their first class badges have received instructions about the judging of height and weight of objects, the making of a simple map, review of signalling, and individually making progress on some requirement in leisure time. They also have been attending a class on ‘’International Knowledge” given by Miss Ruth Hanson. This year there have also been added about ten or twelve new scouts to the troop. They have made remarkable progress and they are working toward their second class badge. On April 29, the girls celebrated the fourth birthday of the troop which has grown steadily from year to year, due to the splendid leaders, Mrs. Moffat and Miss Hanson.

CAMPFIRE GIRLS Ann Brown Betty Peterson Kathryn Dunn Carol Doyle -Mrs. Wegner - President Vice-President Secretary T reasurer Adviser THE Wagata Campfire group, under the able leadership of Mrs. Wegner, has completed another very successful year. Some of the Campfire ideas are to give the girls friendship, glorious fun out-of-doors in all kinds ot weather, and in-doors in their own homes at all kinds of parties. The Campfire ideals arc to give a recipe for a happy and useful life; to live up to the Campfire watchword, “Wohclo, which means, “work, health, love ; and to follow the “Desires of the three ranks, “Woodgathcrers,” “Firemakers, and “Torchbcarers. All of which express comradeship of friends, the love of man for Cod, and the desire to share with others the good and beautiful things of the world. For entertainment, the girls have had hikes and luncheons. They have taken a home furnishing course at Donaldson’s so they may be able to compete in the National Contest, which is the decorating of a room in the model home at Donaldson’s.

SLIDE RULE CLUB Benjamin Brown -Harold Applequist Mrs. Larson - President Secretary Adviser THE Slide Rule Club was organized mainly for the purpose of aiding the advanced students of mathematics in learning the fundamental rules and advantages of the slide rule. The students who registered for the club joined solely to obtain information regarding the slide rule which undoubtedly can be used by the individual in his vocation. The work, so far introduced consists of reading numbers, multiplication, division, the finding of percentage, cancellation, square root, square of enumerable figures, and work in finding volume. The slide rule is very complicated if one docs not keep his mind centered entirely on what he has previously learned regarding the many simple rules which amateurs find difficulty in remembering. In future time the club will be of much benefit to its members who enter engineering or mathematical work. rage Fifty-Two 1932 ECHO WAN Thiru Row—Mtllrnry, ( raff, Lupien, Martin, Campbell, Mitchell.

STAMP CLUB Richard Elling Henry Jensen Mr. McKay President Secretary Adviser THE Stamp Club was organized in 1929 tor the benefit of the boys interested in stamps. It spread from the high school to the seventh grade and now the club is composed of seventh and eighth grade and the high school boys. The regular club hour every other Friday being too short to allow time for swapping, trading, buying, or selling stamps, the boys decided to meet every Thursday and Friday club period in addition to the meeting every two weeks. Those who arc extremely interested meet nearly every day at noon. A committee was appointed to inspect albums, this being the only way to prove a collector’s interest. If the album was satisfactory, the owner became a rightful member. Because of the earnestness of some of the collectors, large, neat, and valuable collections have been made. Page Fifty-Three ATHLETICS It’s how you fight, and why you fight. That counts in the battle of life. Not if you won, or suffered defeat, But what you did in the strife. If you play fair, and your thoughts are true, The best things of earth will all cotne to you. ATHLETICS 1932 ECHO WAN ATHLETIC DIRECTORS MISS LUNDQUIST and Mr. Nemec are the athletic directors at Park High, and it is their duty and job to develop the students physically, even as the other teachers develop their intellects. They do this in gym classes, in competitive sports, and in individual help. They coach all the major sports, giving the school a chance in inter-school contests. Miss Lundquist, coach o! all girls’ sports, has instilled a great liking toward herself in the student body. A counselor and adviser to all the girls, she has become their friend and companion as well as able instructor. She has encouraged a new rise of interest in girls’ sports, and produced some excellent teams. Her sphere of activity has extended to the student council, to which she was elected by its members an adviser. Mr. Nemec, who this year gave the school strong teams in basketball and football, as well as an excellent showing in the track and the minor sports, has, in his three years of direction, given this school a sports prestige in its district which it has never before enjoyed. Although the only championship he has given us thus far was the football championship last year, we have had consistently good teams in all sports. However, sports do not comprise the entire scope of Mr. Ncmcc’s work. His gym classes arc receiving the best of education as to exercises and elementary training in the sports. The whole school has faith in Mr. Nemec, and in his ability.

Donald is very adept at this work, and is able to lead the rooters very well. His motions show that he has worked out his plans very carefully. He will be with the school for three more years of service. Irma Simmons, graduating this year, was also elected cheer leader in the contest. Irma was cheer leader when she was a sophomore, and has had considerable experience. She not only can lead a crowd with case and ability in cheering, but also in singing the school songs. Lloyd Wcssling, a senior, was out for cheer leader for the first time this year. Lloyd, also, is particularly adept at cheer leading. He and Donald worked together in many of the cheers. The audience was otten tempted to stop cheering to better watch the boys’ antics. Lloyd was very good in keeping the crowd together. The cheer leaders’ costumes were in orange and black. Megaphones of the same colors were used. Page Fifty-Seven 1932 ECHO WAN f li f f § 5 S « § ■£ £ - _ ■ ® P . f f f A--. % FlKTH Row-----Whelan, Erickson, Clark, Johnson, Cooper, Broun, Warren.

FOOTBALL THE tie game played between the St. Louis Park Football Team and Hopkins ended a successful season, successful in promoting the spirit of good sportsmanship, and successful in upholding that traditional loyalty for the school. The team was first displayed in action on the home field in the game with Excelsior whom they defeated by a score of 26-0. The second game of the season was played on Hamline Field with University High, reputed to have had the strongest team in the district. The first half of the game was uneventful, except for a threat to score when the Parks, by a scries of rushes, planted the hall on the University High 10 yard line. Then the tide changed as University high s captain scored the only touchdown of the game in the third quarter. The extra point was not made. The next game was played with Wayzata, not highly rated, which team rose from obscurity to rally over the Parks by an overwhelming score of 26-0. Hopes of championship were slowly ebbing away. Mound was victorious by a sore of 12-6. Hut the final game of the year revived the temporarily lost fighting spirit. Hopkins was expected to win easily over the Park Team. The rejuvenated eleven twice threatened the Hopkins goals, once on the four-yard line. The game ended in a tie of 0-0 and finished the football careers of several outstanding seniors, including Williams, Dale, Norris, Berdan, Brown, Erickson, Milbert, Johnson, and Hurd. John Whelan was awarded with the position of guard on the mythical all-district second team. The St. Louis Park tootball team has always been respected; opponent teams have expected and received a “tough” clean game. Page Fifty-Eight 1 932 ECHOWAN Foi'hth Row—Dale, ('.lark, Goofier, .S'.

BASKETBALL THE season was opened with a large turnout, consisting of ample material for a strong team. In the opening game the team defeated Mound. Hector Clark played an exceptional game, scoring 12 points. The small floor did not allow long passing, or manuevering but gave excellent chances for individuality. The score was 22-15 in favor of the Park. Following the Mound game was the U. High game on the home floor. The score throughout the game remained about even. U. High won by one point, the score being 14-13. The third game played at Chaska, in which Park met defeat, was fast and well-played. The outstanding game of the year, as far as skillful basketball is concerned was at Columbia Heights. The teams played professionally, breaking fast and playing excellent team work. The score 28-27, in favor of Columbia Heights, shows how evenly matched the teams were. The Park team displayed remarkable team work weaving the ball down the floor, watching for openings and playing conservatively. The most exciting game of the season, that with Hopkins on our floor, aroused much interest. Manley Norris and jack Thomas scored in the final minutes of play and the Park team won, 12 to 11. Another outstanding game was the second Columbia Heights game played on the home floor. The opponents broke loose in the last quarter and scored three consecutive baskets, winning by the score of 28-23. The season closed with decisive victories over Eden Prairie and Mound, and a defeat by Hopkins. In the tournament, held in Chaska, Feb. 27, the Park team lost after a furious battle with Hopkins, coming from behind in the last quarter to put up an excellent fight.

LETTER CLUB George Williams Emmett Ciielberg Manley Norris Mr. Nemec President - Vice-President Seer c tary-T re usurer Adviser THE Letter Club is composed of all the boys who have majored in any athletic activity and received a letter. The total membership is 40, including 14 seniors. The activities of this organization are chiefly football, basketball, and track. This club is sponsored by Mr. Nemec, coach and adviser. The main activity is in the sports themselves. The club does not meet regularly, but only when the occasion arises which necessitates the popular decision on a matter. The aim of the club is to create a desire to engage in the sjx rts, develop physique, and teach true sportsmanship. The minor sports, namely, tennis, golf, and kittenball, have been greatly encouraged by the Letter Club. Through the efforts of the club many boys have taken an active interest in golf and tennis. Many were found eagerly awaiting the tennis season. St. Louis Park High School was represented in the Minneapolis Tennis Championship matches. There were several promising golfers who entered the golf tournament. The Letter Club encourages one to enter all the sports and become a balanced sportsman. Several of the members have received letters in both football and basketball, and others have received as many as three letters. Page Sixty-Two 1932 EC HO WAN Fifth Row—J. Yeats, Olson. Dahlquist, M.

During the year this club has participated in many activities. The first social event which the girls enjoyed was a hike during which, of course, it rained, and everyone got soaked. During the basketball season, a pep hook was put out by the members of the G. A. A. A dance alter the Hopkins-Park basketball game here was also sponsored by the club. A gym party was held for all the girls in the school. At the party, progressive games were played, and when all the games had been completed, the scores were added up and the senior class won the trophy, made of two tin funnels stuck together. The CL A. A. conducted a contest for choosing the school cheer leaders, in which the contestants led the student body in cheering, after which the students cast a vote for the three leaders of their choice. Tournaments were held in different sports throughout the year. The juniors won the championship in both volleyball and basketball. Soccer was practiced, but as this is a new activity, there were not enough girls to hold a tournament. Page Sixty-Three 1932 ECHO WAN Fourth Row—Fust, Swanson, Dahlqu'nt, King, Blodgett, Lenlhauser.

It was originally under Miss Lundquist’s direction, but now Earle Warren, an experienced student tumbler, is teaching the girls many new acrobatic stunts and formations. The club has made three public appearances this year. The first, on Open Night, was enjoyed by a great number of people. The girls also took part in a program at Excelsior, and gave another exhibition for the St. Louis Park P. T. A. at the high school. In the programs, the effect worked for was that of having several different stunts, such as cartwheels, hand springs, head stands, etc., being enacted simultaneously. Each program also included several difficult pyramids and other formations. The Tumbling Club uniform is blue gym suits and tennis shoes.

FEATURES 1 9 3 2 EC HO WAN REPRESENTATIVE STUDENTS RMA SIMMONS and George Williams were selected as the two students who best represent the St. Louis Park High School in all general lines of activity. They were chosen by a popular vote of the student body. The election was primarily for the purpose of selecting representative students rather than the most popular. Irma Simmons has been active in nearly every line of school work—scholarship and extra-curricular. As editor-in-chief of the Echo, president of the Girls’ (dee Club and the Delta Epsilon Club, cheer leader, member of the Echowan staff, participant in girls’ athletics, member of junior and senior play casts, a student ranking in the highest quarter of the graduating class, and one who has shown an interest in forensics and dramatic work, as well as inter-scholastic athletics, Irma has earned this recognition. George Williams has been equally active in a great many various lines. He was captain of both football and basketball teams during his senior year, chosen on the first All-Lake District mythical football team, president of the Letter Club, a member of the Boys’ Glee Club, and of the Delta Epsilon Club, and was prominent in class affairs as class treasurer for two years. Although not a student of high standing, he is known for his diligence in study, and is noted among the students for his courtesy and friendliness. No one will dispute the statement that “Spike” is truly representative of St. Louis Park High School.

The plot consists of the marriage, estrangement, and reconciliation of Clyde Hollister, a young minister at Cozy Corner, and Avis Merrill, popular and famous concert violinist. The sub-plot is concerned with Deacon Pettibone, local crank, his ill-treatment of his daughter, and his reform. At the opening scene, an ice-cream social, arc met some of the church members: Ma Bartlett; her protege, Marietta; her son, Bob; Sophie Anderson, Bob’s young sweetheart; Deacon Pettibone and Edna, his daughter; and Libby and Jane. At subsequent scenes arc presented Amanda Stebbins, crabbed housekeeper for Clyde, and Morris Granby, Avis’ former manager. Morris succeeds in arousing Clyde’s jealousy of Avis’ violin, and after a series of misrepresentations, unfortunate accidents, and incorrectly interpreted signs, Clyde breaks the valuable old violin, and Avis’ love for him lies shattered among the fragments of her beloved violin. She returns to the concert stage, and Clyde, regretting his action, seeks to alleviate his own conscience by sending to her a new and better violin, and attending her concerts. His attitude toward her career is changed, and he is reunited with her by Ma Bartlett, who acts as mediator between the two. The acting and the play both received many compliments, and the production was hailed as one of the outstanding dramatic presentations in the history of the school.

The play necessitated the use of unusual lighting and sound effects, and sliding panels. The story concerns the desires of a monomaniac for some valuable jewels and the steps he took to get them. Erma Lowrie, who has inherited “Mystery Manor” from her Aunt Sylvia, determines to fulfill the terms of the will by living in the house two years. Her guests arc her Aunt Sophia, her cousins, Arthur Hale and Oswald Kerins, and a friend. Peg Van Ess. Mrs. Murdock and Yami arc her servants, and she has engaged as her “boatman” Macintosh, a detective, who is her sweetheart. At once things begin to happen. A secret panel is found, behind which arc people who have disappeared. The mysterious jewels arc located and Arthur is revealed as the instigator of the annoyances and the murderer of Aunt Sylvia. Thompson, a tiger keeper, is his accomplice. The comedy element is added by Aunt Sophia, Oswald Kerins, and Peg Van Ess. Considerable fine acting and careful preparation was shown by all members of the cast; this type of drama was a welcome diversion from the usual kind of production.

PINAFORE” was produced through the united efforts of the hoys’ and I I. girls’ glee clubs, March 11 and 12, under the direction of Miss Alvira Osterberg and Miss Jessie Miller. The personnel of the opera was: Captain Corcoran, of the ship ‘‘H. M. S. Pinafore,” Earle Warren; his daughter Josephine, Luella Eisengracber and Alice Mitchell; Buttercup, Elizabeth Bullard; Sir Joseph Porter, K. C. B., first Lord of the Admiralty, Lloyd Wcssling; his cousin Hebe, Earlenc Ainsworth; Dick Dcadeyc, Herbert Brown: and the Boatswain, Ethan Hurd. The part of Ralph Rackstraw was played by Herbert Apple-quist, a post graduate of the high school. The opera has many fine choruses, which were worked to an advantage by able coaching. Both choruses and principals received much favorable comment. Pinafore” is the story of the proud daughter of the captain of the Pinafore,” who falls in love with a common sailor. The affair is forbidden by the captain, who wishes his daughter to marry Sir Joseph Porter, K. C. B. After resolving to obey her father, Josephine scorns Ralph’s love-making. As he is about to commit suicide, she rushes to his arms, confessing her love for him. The lovers plan an elopement. Their plans are related to Captain Corcoran by Dick Deadcyc, and the elopement is stopped. Buttercup finally reveals that when Ralph and the captain were infants, she mixed them in their cradles, and that Ralph is the real captain of the H. M. S. Pinafore.” It ends happily with wedding bells for Josephine and Ralph, Hebe and Sir Joseph, and Buttercup and Captain Corcoran.

HOME MANAGEMENT EXHIBIT THE sewing and home management classes participated in an exhibit given in the sewing room, December 18. All of the articles in the exhibit were made as the regular work of the two classes. The table that the exhibit was on was covered with black crepe paper and the different articles on it made a very fine display. Two girls in the home management class arranged it. Each article was marked with the name of the person who made it. The home management class displayed hammered pewter ware, including bowls, smoking trays, and plates. Batik work was shown in pillows and scarfs. Plaques of different kinds, and painted animals were very outstanding. Other classes featured aprons, stuffed animals, little picture girls, and powder puff holders. In addition to this work, the girls in the advanced class have prepared and served several dinners, which were given in the following order: for teachers, for parents, for the Student Council, for the school board, and for the Echowan stall. Everything was purchased, prepared, and served by the class. All were acclaimed a great success. This class has many projects, one of which is the making of dresses and suits in class. After they were all completed this year, a style show was presented for the P. T. A. The styles, colors, and materials varied greatly, making an attractive showing. Miss Leubner has presented new and interesting work, which has been a great help to the girls in her classes. Pane Seventy-One 1932 ECHO WAN 1932 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY THE 1932 Senior Class has a record of many achievements for its four years in high school. It has been well represented in all fields of school activities, and the students have made an enviable record in many lines. As freshmen, the class elected as its class officers: Herbert Brown, president; Lloyd Wcssling, vice-president; and Manley Norris, secretary and treasurer. Class colors, ivory and old rose, and a class motto, “Not finished; just begun,” were selected. They put on before the assembly room a pantomime called “The Family Album.” The Delta Epsilon Club was begun by six freshmen, with Mr. Haynes as sponsor. Freshmen entered vigorously into sports; and were also in the Puzzle club, the Rcinchen club, the 4-H clubs, the Spirit of St. Louis Park, club, the glee clubs, and the band and the orchestra. A masquerade was planned, and the teachers and freshmen appeared in unrecognizable disguises. In 1929 the freshmen became sophomores, and at once the difference was easily discerned. The sophomore boys again entered athletics, and several of them played on the school teams. Sophomore class officers were: Betty Jane Gray, president; Irma Simmons, vice-president; Lois Bolmgrcn, secretary; George Williams, treasurer. A valentine-party, for which the auditorium was artistically decorated, was pronounced by every one a success. For most of the first semester the class occupied as its home rooms those of Mr. Haynes and Miss Wharton, the advisers during the class’ second and third years. Mr. Haynes was elected adviser for the senior year, also. The junior year was for the class the happiest and most important it has had. Besides helping to win the District Football Championship, and adding greatly to the strength of the basketball team, they produced their excellent class play, “A Lucky Break,” and with it set a financial record for junior classes and gave the audience a long-remembered enjoyment. Herbert Brown was chosen as class president once more in his junior year. Manley Norris, vice-president; Alice Mitchell, secretary; and George Williams, treasurer, were the other officers. During the course of the year a group of junior boys known as “Berplundcrsons sprang up, and seemingly overran the school. The junior-senior banquet, the central social activity of the year, came in April. The affair was carried out as a royal feast, with elaborate decorations and a delectable menu. The juniors enjoyed a picnic given them in May by the seniors, at Lake Minnetonka. As seniors, the class of 1932 began the year by electing its officers: John Asplund, president; David Hobart, vice-president; Manley Norris, secretary; and Margaret Olson, treasurer, at which election the Berpics ruled supreme. “Tiger House” was presented as the senior class play in April. The play was a mystery, and many unusual effects were achieved. The proceeds were used, together with the junior contribution, for stage curtains, a memorial to the school. The fourth edition of the Echowan was produced by the 1932 class. The book is sixteen pages larger than any former Echowan. The seniors attended the junior-senior prom at the Country Cluh House, which affair may set an example for future classes. It was a beautiful occasion, and a remarkable success. The class, in the last month of school, laid its plans for class night, Baccalaureate, and Commencement. The 1932 class was to wear caps and gowns this year for the latter two services. After these four years of pleasant experiences, the seniors of 1932 graduate leaving a collection of memories, a fine record, and a host of friends. Page Setcniy-Two 1932 ECHO WAN Page Seventy-Three 1932 ECHO WAN CONTEST DAY CONTEST DAY was originated in 1929, with the first Echowan, but was discontinued during the next two years. It was revived, however, this year by the annual stall, for use as one of the features of tins year’s book. The contest was conducted very informally for the purpose of selecting the school “freaks.” Considerable hilarity reigned during the entire contest.

Page Seventy-Eight 1932 ECHO WAN Page Scvcnty-Ntne 1932 ECHO Vi AN POETRY By Maxine Michel FIDELITY Tonight, dear love, if I should watch And wait your coming, where the winds Bring scent of pine and fir to me; Upon that hill, where once we vowed Our compact of fidelity. Would you be true? Would you be true, dear love, if I Should wander from the beaten paths And lose my soul, and fall unknown? Or would you feel that you were free, And never for my sake atone? Would you be true? • A REVERIE Alone! the stars and I Keep watch over the world. 1 see the myriad gleam Of city lights surround me. I feel the caresses of the wind, Cleansing the air with its sweetness. The buildings rise beside me Like benevolent phantoms of darkness. The masts of the ships on the river Raise eerie arms in the starlight; The hush of dawn envelopes me, And startles me from my reverie. SPIRIT OF THE NIGHT I saw her—a ghost in my garden, A vision of ethereal light. She stood ’ncath the moon’s golden radiance, My Spirit of the Night. From her hair rose the perfume of Araby; Her eyes were twin stars in the dark, Her lips of coral were parted. And her voice was the song of the lark. My heart was enthralled by her beauty, My soul all afire at the sight. I gazed and I gazed—she had vanished, My Spirit of the Night. NIGHT With velvet fingers Night gathers her sable curtains— Like a dusky veil Twilight falls. Night’s breath upon the heavens— Tiny stars appear. Night’s but among the fir trees Like the voice of God. GOD God is everywhere; God’s eyes arc the stars Watching—loving us; God’s arms are the seas Embracing the earth; God’s voice is the wind Whispering—entreating; God’s heart Is the heart of the people He loves.

Ruthic: Of course not! Bernard: Well, then, how does it live? A Mexican and an American worked together in a mine. The Mexican often had rabbit for dinner, and shared the delicacy with his working mate. The American one day asked, “Where do you get rabbits, Jose? I can’t find any in this neighborhood.” “My wife, she shoot um,” said Jose. “Every night they come around the house and make noise.” “Rabbits don’t make noise! “Sure,” said the Mexican, “go, ‘meow, meow!’ ” An old Scot purchased a radio set, and his friends came around a short time afterward to inquire how he liked it. “Weel,” said Sandy, “It’s all richt to listen to, but them bulbs are nae so good to read by.” Irma (in tears): I’ve been insulted. Your mother insulted me! Spike: My mother! why she’s miles away! Irma: Yes, but a letter came for you from her, and I read it, and the postscript said, “Dear Irma, don’t forget to give this letter to Spike!” Manley (in hat store): I've just lost a bet and I want a hat, a soft hat. Salesman: This is the softest hat we have. Manley: What I want is something a little more tender. I’ve got to eat it!! Peggy: Dear, tomorrow is our tenth wedding anniversary. Shall I kill the turkey?

Miss Neasc: When I say, “I was handsome,” I am using the past tense; when I say, “I shall be handsome,” I am using the future tense. Now, Jack, tell me what tense I am using when 1 say, “I am handsome”? Jack McAdams: Pretense. “I'm sorry to have to do this,” said Ethan Hurd, as he spread the jam on baby’s face, “but 1 can't have suspicion pointing its finger at me.” Merrill P.: Do you know the difference between a taxi and a trolley? Audrey O.: No. Merrill P.: Well, then, we'll take the trolley. JASPERSON’S DAIRY Quality Products Hopkins, Minn.
