This class is very enthusiastic about basketball. Jack Carroll. Bill and Sonny Johnson, proved to be invaluable players. The girls also excelled in basketball, and OF COURSE they won the class championship. Oh. we re an up-and-coming class and we'll get there some day.

Student Council President.......................................Doyle Clay Secretary.............................. - Peg McAdams This past year the Student Council has been one of the most active organizations in the school. They were organized early in the fall so as to start the school activities by setting the dates of the social events and activities which were to occur during the school term. Student Activity ticket sales were sponsored by the Student Counci . The puroose of these tickeis was to reduce expenses per student end also to get mo'o students interested in school functions. Several programs have been sponsored by the Council. These consisted of outside speakers, and home talent. The student body appreciated these programs and felt they were very entertaining. The Student Council is formed so that the pupils will have a part in the government of the school. All the members of the past year have felt a true interest in this work and feel it is very necessary that it be kept up next year. Twenty-fire Tor Row: Svobo.ia, Chris, Shall man.

Echowan Staff Editor-in-Chief.......................Jacquelyn Hitchcock Assistant Editor...............................Helen Attwooll Business Manager..............................Warren Chance Advertising Manager............................Russell Sewall Origin of Name Josephine Thomas, a graduate in 1929 of our high school, originated the name Echowan for the first annual published by St. Louis Park High School. Her explanation and reason for choosing this name is as follows: Within the pages of this annual we are putting the best that is in us. the highest loyalty, the finest school spirit, the cleanest sportsmanship. We want our annual to be an active memory to those who follow us: we wont to pass on to coming students of St. Louis Park the spirit of our high school. For twenty-two years our school paper has echooJ our acrivities in the Echo. The spirit of the Echo will live on in the Echowan (Echo-on). Our echoes will roll From soul to soul And grow forever And forever in— The Echowan. T ucnty-six Tor Row: McAdams, Seeliger, Henderson, Stevens, Sctcall, Rlanchard.

Echo The Echo, which has been the school paper for the past twenty-two years, has seen many new improvements under the guiding hands of Maurine Moldestad, this year's editor. This year the Echo has contained each time a feature article or story which was added to its pages for the entertainment and education of its readers. It has always had editorials, society, class notes, and humor pages. The Echo Staff is suffering a great many losses this year: The editor—Maurine Moldestad: mimeographers—Earl Seeliger and Russell Sewall: humor editor—Thomas Henderson: society editor—Beatrice Maylone: artists—Robert Lundy, Lenore Krake and Margaret Ludwig: rewrite—Betty Ann Harris: Senior reporter—Patsy Thompson; typists—Lenore Krake, Adelle Dunn.

Those of the staff who are graduating this year extend the best of wishes to those who will fill their places for they know the long hours of weary labor necessary to putting out a really good school paper.

J Girls Athletic Association President -Vice President Secretary Treasurer -Adviser Edith Rebmann Margaret Fornell Winifred Lundy Helen Attwooll Miss Lundquist The Girls' Athletic Association has been one of the most active organizations in the school. Their motive is not only to promote girls' athletics, but also to create throughout the school a spirit of loyalty and sportsmanship. The association sponsored several social functions during the past year. One of the most important to the girls was the annual Mother-Daughter Banquet held in November. This was a grand success. The annual G. A. A. gym party, given for all the girls of the high school, was held in February. The Seniors were the high scorers for the games and therefore received the cup for the fourth consecutive year. Last, but not least, the girls sponsored all the activities such as girls’ basketball, volleyball, track, and soccer. Many went out for each sport and the teams were well organized.

Orchestra President - Richard Johnson Librarian..............................................Patricia Bradley The St. Louis Parle orchestra has proved its ability on numerous occasions during the past year. The credit for the success of the orchestra is due chiefly to its director. Miss Mildred Glendenning. who has developed the organization to its present height. The orchestra added greatly to the attractiveness of the Commencement services. Christmas programs, and Parents and Teachers meetings.

Beyond Reason, was presented in the High School Auditorium April 17, 1936. under the direction of Miss N. Olson. It was a mystery, with the weird setting, Wildwood Sanatorium. The success of the play can be directly credited to the competent coaching o' Miss Olson, the cooperation of the cast, and the efficient work done by the committees.

Peptimists Leader........................................Henrietta Stone Secretary-Treasurer............................Celia King What could be of more benefit to a school than to have an organization which encourages pep, sportsmanship, and loyalty such as the work of the peptimists? The peptimists were organized in 1932 by Joyce Prall. who deserves much credit for her splendid work. She led the organization through performances for two years and then it was left in the hands of Ruby Nelson. Ruby did an efficient piece of work, as has our present leader, Henrietta Stone. This year the organization purchased new uniforms, consisting of bright orange sweaters and black skirts. They made a very colorful showing at all the football and basketball games. We only hope that the peptimists will continue to extend their loyal support to the school activities as they have been doing in the past.

Hi-Y Robert Hull Harry Warner Thomas Henderson Trevor Stevens Mr. Martinson President Vice President -Secretary -Treasurer Adviser In the fall of 1934 a group of boys perpetuated the St. Louis Park Hi-Y Club. There are twenty members and Mr. Martinson is adviser, although the members decide their program for themselves. The aim and purpose of the club is simple and direct. It aims to start the boys on the right path in life, and its purpose is to prepare the boys for the problems to be confronted in the future. The boys have visited industries about the city, and studied other various topics. During the last year their meetings have been devoted to speakers, who have spoken on subjects both interesting and educational. The boys feel the organization has been a distinct benefit. They have profited by the knowledge and spiritual influence of the Hi-Y. The senior members who are being graduated this year hope the club will continue and prosper. The best luck to you, Hi-Y.

Football During this year’s football season, although not so successful, we had a great team headed by the powerhouse Captain Bill Finnegan. He was supported by a strong group of senior boys, including Reggin. Clay. Nylander. Shank. Korsmoe. Stromer. Henderson and Kuhnley. Reggin and Finnegan were placed on the All-District with honors. Our new field was dedicated by the school board before the Excelsior game. The biggest event during the football season was our homecoming game with Hopkins. Although it ended in a defeat, it was grand fun. The student body elected the homecoming queen, who was Jane Mason. The boys always played with good sportsmanship and loyalty. This was the aim of the entire team. Don Nemec is the coach that deserves the credit for the team.
