McKAY • Change is synonymous with progress and a vital attribute of democracy. We are preparing for one of the most momentous steps forward in educational offerings in the history of our schools in St. Louis Park. Our new building, which will be capable of housing 600 pupils, will furnish that much needed space for socialized activities such as recreational facilities for young and old, a community center that should give impetus to an adult educational program, expansion of vocational and homemaking courses, and permit better emotional and aesthetic adjustments of our boys and girls so vital to their well-being. These added facilities will provide more adequate means for the adjustment of the offerings of the curriculum to the individual personality needs of each and every pupil. Supt. N. H.

We do not think, however, that we have lowered the standards of the school during our four-year stay here. (But who are we to say?) We don’t know what the school will do when we’re gone, but it will probably take a definite turn for the better or the worse. Time alone will tell. We have submitted our contributions to the athletic activities in all their variations as well as to the dramatic field in the form of two class plays. We have delved into literature through the publication of a high school paper (with the help of others) and this year book. (So help us!) Our social life has been rounded out by participation in two proms. Need we say more?

They gave the first Barn Dance ever to be held in good old Park, with plenty of corn stalks and hay for a jolly good time. Miss Earlene Ainsworth produced one of the finest Junior Class plays ever to be given. It was a three-act mystery farce— “Black Magic.” I he theme of the Junior-Seniot Prom was carried out in Dutch style. For the night Holland prevailed, and it was acclaimed one of the most successful Proms ever to be sponsored at Park. I he girls held office this year and did an efficient and praiseworthy job. Miss Wharton, Miss Lampman and Miss Glen-denning were most competent advisors, and we extend our sincere gratitude for their work. 1938 ECHO WAN SOPHOMORE CLASS The Sophomore Class of 1937-38 has an enrollment of one hundred two.

ECHOWAN 1938 Anita Jknsen IN MEMORIAM WHEN EARTH’S LAST When Earth's last picture is painted And the tubes are twisted and dried, When the oldest colors have jaded, And the youngest critic has died. We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need it— Lie down for an eeon or two, Till the Master of All Good Workmen Shall put us to work anew. PICTURE IS PAINTED And those that were good shall be happy: They shall sit in a golden chair; They shall splash at a ten-league canvas With brushes of comets' hair. They shall find real saints to draw from— Magdalene, Peter, and Paid; They shall work for an age at a sitting And never be tired at all! And only The Master shall praise us. And only The Master shall blame; A nd no one shall work for money, And no one shall work for fame, But each for the joy of the working, A nd each, in his separate star. Shall draw the Thing as he sees It For the God of Things as They Are! —Rudyard Kipi.ino Quiet in spirit, faithful in pursuing her task, finding interest and happiness in arts and aesthetics, Anita Jensen journeyed her life up almost to the end of her high school course. Thus, she lived quietly, peacefully, and beautifully. Surely it could be said of her as it has been said of others that when her life went out, another light was kindled in the firmament.

This society is national in scope, and has been in existence throughout the United States since 1921. Eligibility for membership is based upon scholarship, leadership, service and character. Only Seniors are qualified to become active members. The four objectives may be defined as follows: Service is a willingness to render any service to the school whenever called upon, willingness to do any assigned service, and maintain a loyal school attitude. Leadership is showing initiative in classroom activities, in promoting any high school activity, successfully holding school offices and other positions of responsibility. Character means meeting individual obligations to the school promptly and completely, demonstrating an honest spirit in class, actively helping rid the school of bad influences and by constantly demonstrating such qualities of personality, honesty, reliability, promptness, achievement, and morality as are indispensable to the finest young manhood and womanhood. In scholarship a B average must be maintained. The committee which wrote the Constitution of the National Honor Society said, “The purpose of this organization shall be to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character in the students of the American secondary schools.

STUDENT COUNCIL • Members of the Student Council are the elected officers of each Home Room. They serve as the Home Room representatives in pupil participation in the affairs of the school. Their objectives are: 1. To promote the general welfare of the school. 2. To arouse school spirit. 3. To provide opportunity for student cooperation and participation in the management of school affairs. 4. To establish better understanding, better spirit, and cooperation between students and faculty. 5. To develop intelligent leadership. 6. To provide for pupil expression. The Student Council elected in the fall serves the first semester and is eligible for re-election. A total of thirty-one students served as Student Council members this year. Among Student Council accomplishments for the year arc: 1. Planning and conducting a successful Homecoming Program in October. 2. Formulation of a Student Council Constitution to be put into effect next year. 3. Fostering school spirit through sales and talks in Home Rooms. 4. Keeping students informed on school events. 5. Encouraging and being responsible for constructive and worthwhile noon activity.

It holds its meetings every week on Tuesday evening at the members’ respective homes. The I li-Y is mostly a social club, conducted much along the plan of a fraternity. The club also believes it should do its share in bettering the school and community. The Hi-Y has given dances and distributed handbills for the school throughout the year. It has helped the Community Fund by raising money and goods at Christmas time. It has donated from its treasury, money for the Y. M. C. A. fund and has worked on many other worthwhile projects. The nine senior members which leave the club this year wish the Hi-Y an even more successful year in 1939. ECHOWAN 1938 Fifth Row—Johnson, Wintcrfcld, Nelson, Dilger, Erickson, Drcchslcr, Kihlman.

VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE CLUB President..................................Ruth Dcarstyne Vice President.............................Virginia Brown Secretary-Treasurer.....................Katherine Finnegan • The Vocational Guidance Club was organized last November, under the guidance of Miss Wharton. It was created with the hope and intention of acquainting its members with the various vocations open, and in this way aiding them in ending the turmoil in their own minds as to “what to do.” The club has had many speakers, among whom have been: Miss Baston, who spoke on Teaching; Mrs. Kildow, Assistant Director of the National Press Association, who spoke on Journalism; Miss Jones, on the vocation of the Medical Technician; Miss Bettie Isett, on Kindergarten work; Miss Hankce and Miss Dudding on Art; Miss Osterberg, on Music; Miss Lundquist, on Physical Education; and Miss Owstoen, on Nursing. These people have given the members a general description of the field, listed present opportunities for employment, given qualifications necessary to enter the work, discussed all the advantages and disadvantages that enter into the field, mentioned the different branches that could possibly be considered, and then went into the more economic side of it. The members were very enthusiastic about the club, and sacrificed their free time during their lunch hours to hear these speakers. They explained to each speaker that because of lack of time it was necessary to eat during the talk. Both speaker and club members cooperated, and the plan was very satisfactory. 1938 ECHOWAN Fifth Row—Byers, Hildreth, K. Johnson, Laidlaw, Conley, Fylling, Neitzel Fourth Row—Smith, B.

THE CAMERA CLUB President ..................................Thomas Renner Secretary and Treasurer ..................Charlotte Furher During the school year of 1937-38 a veritable epidemic of popular interest in candid photography broke out all over the United States. New magazines appeared on newsstands with no contents other than pictures. The nation became camera conscious and one attempted to outdo the other in shooting unique and interesting pictures. Due to this stimulus there was organized a camera club with Thomas Renner as president and Charlotte Furher as secretary and treasurer. The purposes of this club were many. Some of these were a newer appreciation of the camera, not only as a source of recreation, but as a scientific tool, a study of lenses of various speeds, developing and fixing solutions for laboratory study, making home-made devices for enlarging pictures and finally attempting to color or to tint pictures. The results of this organization were interesting. In some cases members constructed small dark rooms in their home basements and this stimulated further experimentation. Others who had previously sent their negatives to professionals for development and printing, began to do that work themselves. Others found new interest outlets in Graflex cameras and cameras of Furopean make, such as English and German makes. Thus, the purposes of this extracurricular activity were satisfying and one of the more interesting results of the work was the enlarged space given to candid photography in the Echowan.

Immediately after the organization of the Kchowan staff, it was agreed to incorporate this year in the “KCHOWAN” a number of new features. Briefly, these are as follows: a more prevailing tone of informality, a larger number of pages devoted to candid photography, a greater degree of compactness, making the book correspondingly richer in material, “bleeding-off the larger pictures to the edge of the page, and devoting a greater number of pages to extra-curricular activities, all of which is meant to give a more detailed and a more accurate picture of school life. The Kchowan staff hopes that at least in part these ambitions have been realized. A larger advertising section has been secured, thereby increasing one of the important sources of revenue, which in turn helps to make for a larger and a better book. 1938 ECHOWAN Fifth Row—M.

A three column paper has been instituted, printed in elite type on a better grade of paper, 1 he aim has been to have a school paper of interest to all. Phe staff has worked under difficulties, having to use equipment in both buildings, but they are to be congratulated on having coped with these difficulties well. Thanks to our new buildings and greater facilities for next year, the ECHO should go ahead—to be a still better school paper.

The purpose of the club is “To find and give the best,” and the slogan is “To face life squarely.” With these two ideals in mind, the girls have gained the right spirit and we are sure that the school will benefit by their activities in the future. 1938 ECHOWAN THE GLEE CLUB President ......Ruth Dearstyne Vice President....Vernon Olson Secretary Treasurer } ..Lorraine Drechsler This organization has done a considerable amount of work this year. It has sung a few times before the assembly; once for Thanksgiving, singing Geoffry’s “Hymn of Praise”; and for Christmas. In February 1938, the Glee Club journeyed to Northrop Auditorium to sing for the Music Clinic. It was one of the few Glee Clubs in the state which had this honor. On April seventh and eighth, an operetta entitled, “The Count and the Coed,” was presented. It had two casts, one playing one night and the other the second night, and in each case a very generous reception was accorded. On April twenty-second, a trip to North St. Paul was made in the interest of the state Music Contest. Fifth Row—Henningsen, II. Dale, Scoville, R. Carlstrom, R. Johnson, Standal, Dirks. fourth Row—V.

THE BAND President ........................................Alan Justad Secretary ........................................James Smith Treasurer........................................Melvin Conley • The band made great progress this year under the leadership of Mr. Finer Martinson. An election of officers was held in the Fall. They are as follows: President, Alan Justad; secretary, James Smith; treasurer, Melvin Conley. The St. Louis Park band capes were used as uniforms when the band performed. Practices were held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings in the music room of the Junior High School. The band played at the home football games and the game at Mound. It also played at basketball games in the beginning of the year, but there wasn't room for the band so it had to be discontinued. Many assembly programs and pep meetings were enlivened by the music of the band. The band had concessions at several games and sponsored a dance to make money for music emblems. These emblems are to be awarded to regular band members at the end of the year. Mr. Martinson organized a junior band that will join the senior band next year. This band is composed of junior high pupils. He also gave private lessons to any student who wished them. The band played and marched with the Hopkins band during the dedication of the new athletic field. 1938 ECHOWAN OPERETTA The operetta “ The Count and the Co-ed,” given April 7 and 8 by the Glee Club was a howling success. The production contains a double cast of the principals and a well-coached chorus. The scene of “The Count and the Co-ed” was laid on the campus of Marden College. The production was staged under the capable guidance ol Miss Miller and Miss Osterberg, to whom much of the credit for its success is due. Marjorie ..............................

LENA RIVERS In spite of unusually temperamental weather, the Senior class play was given to a capacity crowd in the Junior High School Auditorium. The play was exceedingly well interpreted, for each one of the cast gave an accurate portrayal of his part. The splendid coaching on the part of Miss Miller, formerly with the Bain-bridge Players, was evident throughout. The cast, because of the manner of their acting, was more suggestive of a troupe of professionals than a group of amateurs.

I hroughout the entire play the audience was kept on the edge of their seats due to the excellent portrayal of the characters by the students.

ECHO-ETTE Co- Editors I Nancy Reid ) Audrey Shank The Echo-Ette, the junior high school paper, was published for the first time in October, 1936. Although the staff had had no previous training, the members were clever and industrious and soon were turning out a magazine which was enjoyed by all junior high school pupils. The first edition was mimeographed, printed on one side, and clipped together. Throughout the first year of its existence, it remained in its original magazine form. This year the editors and staff have been experimenting constantly, making many changes. The most important of these has been the graduation of the Echo-Ette from a magazine to a newspaper. The second in importance is the enlargement of the staff. The addition of two or more pupils was made with each publication until the membership has now reached about twenty-seven. This year the Echo-Ette has become a member of the National Exchange for school newspapers produced by the mimeograph process. Insets have been received denoting membership in the Exchange. This membership entitles us to exchange newspapers from all over the United States which are made by this process. With the support of the faculty, the assistance of Mrs. Moffat, the help of Miss Schultz, the use of Mr. Nemec's office, the whole-hearted co-operation and loyalty of the student-body, we have made a paper which St. Louis Park Junior High may well be proud of. 1938 ECHOWAN ECHO WAN 1938 HALL OF FAME (Boy) Loyd Peterson ......

He led his team to the state championship in his senior year and became all-state guard. He also went to the University of Minnesota annd received three letters in basketball. He was captain of the Minnesota co-champions of the Big Ten last year and is given much credit for the victories because of his ability to keep the opposition’s star from scoring. In his senior year in the University, he was also elected president of the senior class. Mr. Seebach teaches history and coaches basketball, tennis and baseball. Mr. Hanson • Mr. Hanson hails from Mound High School, where he was awarded nine letters in basketball, football and track. He was all-district for three years in football, in three different positions. From Mound he went to the University of Minnesota and played for three years in the center position with the Golden Gophers. In wrestling he took third place in the Big fen in the 165-pound class. He was also high point man for the squad. Mr. Hanson is an instructor in general science and coaches football, wrestling and track. 1938 ECHO WAN Fifth Row—Hcdwall, McCarthy, Scwall, Duggan, Anderson, V., Ralles, Millcss.

The teams first foe was De La Salle. Because of a blocked punt, Park lost, 7 to 6. ‘Then along came Way-zata, and Park downed them with a 12 to 6 victory. In the final quarter of the Kxcelsior game, Park came from behind to take them by 6 to 2. The following week the Parkers went to Mound to meet defeat by the score of 12 to 0. The boys didn’t seem to click very well, partly because a few of them were at new positions, and also because of previous injuries. At the night game at University High the squad gained three yards to every one of their foe. However, University High was able to hold Park to a scoreless tie. The last conference game of the year found Park playing their homecoming game against Hopkins before the largest crowd of the season. 'The team failed to stop the speedy Hopkins backs, who ran up the score of 39 points to the Parkers 0. Kven after a heavy loss to the varsity squad because of injuries, the Parkers were still able to avenge the last year’s defeat against Stillwater by running over them by the score of 7 to 0. In the final game of the year the team were able to hold the over-confident Robbinsdale team to only two touchdowns. In this game only six regulars were suited up, the other five being pretty badly crippled. 1938 ECHOWAN The lake district coaches placed Ray Christy on the all-district squad as tackle, and Elwood Graham, John Dale annd Tom Renner were chosen as halfback, end and guard respectively, on the alternate team. I he new football held was dedicated by Mr. C. L. Hurd, president of the School Booard, with such notables as Frank McCormick, Bert Baston and Babe LeVoir present. We wish to thank Mr. C. E. Christy and Mr. Ralph Yeager for their generosity in donating the scoreboard. It was a help to the players as well as the spectators when there was only one or two minutes of the fourth quarter to play. FOOTBALL GAME SCHEDULE.

Although the team was small, they were fast and showed very good team work on the floor. They lost two games by one point to Excelsior, thus showing that “Lady Luck” was not with them. Led by Lyman Anderson, the honorary captain and all-district second team center, the team was able to offer strong opposition for their foes. Charles Slavin and Lyman Anderson were the top scorers of the team. The team will be diminished by graduation, losing eight men. BASKETBALL GAME SCHEDULE.

WRESTLING • I he wrestling squad had a very successful season this year, considering the fact that this is the first year that wrestling lias been in the sports program of the school. Under the excellent coaching of Mr. Hanson, Lawrence Holm took first in the Metropolitan meet, with Tom Bates and Ray Christy taking second places. In the State meet, Earl Hastings, Francis Crowfoot and Tom Bates placed third. The team placed sixth. Mr. Hanson was the coach of the first inter-scholastic wrestling team in Minnesota at Marshall High School, in Minneapolis, last year. Upon the formation of this team, squads all over the state were organized. His squad took first place in the State meet, and one of the team members took first place in the Northwest A. A. U. Robbinsdale and St. Louis Park tied in team points at the first meet of the year. In the meets with Osakis and Marshall, the boys lost by a good margin because of the one year’s experience their opponents had over them. The squad went to Edison High School and beat them by almost twenty points. In the last home meet the squad defeated every one of the Washburn wrestlers. Other teams against which the boys competed were: West High School and University High School. Even though the squad will be weakened by the loss of four of the varsity squad through graduation, Mr. Hanson has his eye on the state title next year. ECHOWAN 1938 Back Row—Y).

The Girls' Athletic Association is one of the most active organizations in the school. The year was started with the annual “Pow Wow ' which was held September 15, the purpose being to acquaint the new members with the old. Phis year again the girls couldn't pass up the idea of another Dads’ and Daughters’ party, so on February 3 was held our Dads' and Daughters’ party, a bigger success than the preceding year. “Our Aunt from California, a one act play, was presented bv six members of the G. A. A. The object of the play was to raise money for the Mothers' and Daughters’ dinner. On April 21, our annual Mothers’ and Daughters' dinner was held. Then came class night when each girl who had earned her points received her award, thus ending another year of fun and success for all of us, and four happy years for some of us. GIRLS' SPORTS • The motive of the Girls’ Athletic Association is not only to promote girls’ sports, but also to create throughout the school a spirit of loyalty and sportsmanship. The soccer tournament, the first tournament of the year, was held October 30 and November 2, the Sophomores winning over the Freshmen by a 3 to 2 score and the Seniors defeating the Sophomores by 14 to 2, thus giving the title of “champs” to the Seniors. After soccer was over, volley ball was immediately started. The tournament was held December 13, and again the Seniors came to the top by a 35 to 21 victory over the Sophomores. On March 7 the basketball tournament was held and again we find the Seniors triumphing over the Sophomores, 25 to 16, to attain the title of “champs.” Track, kittenball and archery were started as soon as the weather permitted and there was a big turnout for all of these sports. There are many minor sports which are classified under outdoor sports, such as skiing, tobogganing, hiking, swimming, skating, golf, bicycling and horseback riding. There is a great interest taken in all of these and points are earned the same way they are in any of the major sports. Every year there is a tennis tournament held. This is one of the most interesting tournaments throughout the year, because of the true competitive spirit shown by the individuals partaking in this event. The entire year has been well rounded out in the way of sports. This year seemed to be a victorious one for the Seniors, as they have won the “championship” in every major sport during the year.

Tom Bates Secretary ...................................Bob Carlstrom The Lettermen’s Club is composed of all the boys who have been awarded letters in athletics. The club has been inactive this year, but they expect to participate in school affairs next year. There have been a few issues brought to the attention of the club, one being on the question of letter awarding. It has been decided by the group that the standards of receiving letters and stripes shall be advised to the coaches. This has been done because of the way letters and stripes have been awarded in the past few years. 'The boys feel that the awarding of a letter should mean a higher standard of athletic ability, and that the wearing of too many stripes would necessitate the removal of the offending member from the club. Another issue has been the allowing of alumni lettermen to go to athlethic events at a reduced admission charge. One of the accepted suggestions was to give each alumnus a pin with the Lettermen’s Club insignia upon it, and the alumnus would show this pin when he went to the event. The charge for a pin would include the admission for the year. The next year the pin would be a different color, and this would mean that a different pin would be needed each year to allow the alumni lettermen to go at a reduced rate. The proposed idea is to be developed next year, however, because of lack of time this year. 1938 ECHOWAN ECHOWAN 1938 J.
