Miss O'Donnell never lost her sense of humor, but brought to her work a cheeriness which those who knew her shall never forget. The influences of her sunny disposition, her bits of friendly philosophy, and her splendid character will long be reflected in the community through the many whom she taught. “Like a vase in which roses have once been distilled— You may break, you may shatter the vase if you will, But the scent of the roses clings round it still. ,i',ho community, .n this Wl WII. lur DIO iltv members were able U ycor' e homes, understand me Bowl,n« and swimming head the ity in which they are work- list hcr vorite hobbies.

Vice President SEHLIN LEADS CLASS OF '48 BEVENSEE, SUNDT GAIN SCHOLASTIC HONORS The class of '48, under the leadership of Art Sehlin, assisted by the other class officers. John Kuntz. JoAnne Olson, and Peggy Woodward, has finally arrived at its ultimate goal, after three years of fun and hard work. In our sophomore year, many of us were new to Park, and all of us were new to the confusion of high school. That was the year we learned to dance, and also learned to know each other. Our junior year was even more exciting. We presented our class play Dulcy,” sold magazines, and attended our first Junior-Senior prom. Last, but not least, we became seniors. We opened the year with the smash hit comedy Arsenic and Old Lace” as our Senior Class Play. With the money from our junior year and the additional money ROBERT BEVENSEE from the play, we Valedictorian were able to join with the class of '47 in presenting the school with a new basketball scoreboard. Now, graduation has come, with its Senior Prom, its class night, and senior breakfast, and finally Baccalaureate and Commencement. We're going to miss Park, but we will never forget it. The senior class is indeed proud of its two highest ranking members for 1948. Bob Bevensee, valedictorian, has been active as a debater, class play member and Hi-Y president. His scholastic rating was 3.848. Dick Sundt, salutatorian, rated a close second to Bob in rank with a rating of 3.783. Dick is the editor of the Echowan and was also a senior class play member. Congratulations go to these two boys and to the others who have ranked high in the class of '48. D. A. R. AWARD WINNER Mary Dow, one of the most active seniors at Park, was chosen by her fellow seniors and the faculty to receive the ’ coveted D. A. R. award this year. Each year one senior girl is picked for this honor. She attends a banquet with girls selected from other Minnesota schools, at which banquet one girl is selected to attend the national banquet at Washington, D. C.

COUNCIL GOVERNS STUDENT BODY Studont government became more effective in 1947-48 than ever before at St. Louis Park. Through the student council and its committees, students took a wider interest in school affairs. The student council's main projects consisted of Homecoming. Park-ticipation Week, and Student Government Day. Homecoming was once again a success with its gala coronation, parade, dance, and game. Park-ticipation was a new idea, inaugurated to encourage student participation and cooperation in school affairs. Student government day also put into action the student participation thoory. Committoes of the council proved very effective in conducting school activities. The Hall and Building Committee handled hall traffic and lunch hour problems with efficiency. Tho Health and Welfare Committee saw to it that absentees were not forgotten and that conditions throughout the school remainod sanitary. Planning the year's programs was the job of tho Auditorium Committee, while the Safety Committee abolished risks in the parking lot and around the school. The Talont Committee wont out searching for talent and found enough to include in three fine talent shows. One show consisted of Senior high talent, ono of Junior high talent, and the third show, with Codric Adams as master of ceremonies, was an amalgamation of the two previous shows. The Flag Committee kept our flags in good condition, and the Cheer Committee saw to it that school spirit was at high tide. All unclaimed articles were turned over to the Rod Cross by the Lost and Found Committee, while tho nowly organized Concession Committee handled the sale of soft drinks and ice cream at basketball gamos. The studont council this year has served as a medium of cooperation betwoen students, faculty, and the administration. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY ROW 3. R. Kuhlman. A. Sohlin. R. G. Peterson. L. Nadasdy.

The game they won was against the senior varsity third team. Their losses included two to Blake and one to Excelsior. However, the team showed some promising prospects for future Park A squads. THE CRIPPLES The boys pictured below were all injured during the season and were unable to finish out the regular schedule of games. Paul Tierney Ralph Corey IT'S HISTORY NOW St. Louis Park started the 1947 football season with ten lettermen and great expectations. Park entertained Stillwater in a practice tilt for the first game, but Park only managed to make a 6 to 6 tie of the game. On their own rain soaked field Park went down in a 12 to 0 defeat to the Wayzata Trojans and their deceptive XYZ formation. For their first away game the Orioles traveled to Mound. They lost this game 21 to 14, Trailing 21 to 0 going into the fourth quarter. Park s will to win” bolstered by Pickett and Olson brought the score to 21 to 14. Hopkins, traditional nemesis of Park, trounced the Orioles 27 to 0 at Park. At Robbinsdale, Park was edged out by the champion Robbins 14 to 7. The Park team, which led 7 to 0 at half time, found itself the victim of two bad breaks in the second half, as Robbinsdale made touchdowns after a blocked Park kick and a Park fumble Park won its game, a homecoming tilt, against Excelsior. This game exemplified the Orioles at their best, as they defeated the Jays 32 to 0.

Drewlow. and Johnson BASKETBALL Once again Hopkins plagued Park as they defeated the Orioles 46 to 36 in the opening game of the season. The lack of height on the Park team was very evident as they trailed 31 to 17 at the end of the half. Jerry Ludvigson netted 19 points as Park lost its second encounter to Robbinsdale 39 to 31. The Orioles finally broke into the winning column with a 31 to 21 victory over U. High. Park played two non-conference games during the season and won both, one against Columbia Heights 50 to 34 and another against Waconia 47 to 40. The Orioles lost a heartbreaker to Excelsior in their next game by the score of 33 to 34. In the winning stride again, Park downed Wayzata 39 to 23. ”Lud'' again saved Park with 21 points. For 31 minutes of a 32 minute game, Park led Hopkins, but in the final minute Hopkins went ahead on a basket by Miller and stayed ahead to win 34 to 32. It was the same old story in the next game. Park led Robbinsdale all of the way until the final quarter. It was the Robbins 6 ft. 7 in. center that turned the tide in the final period and led Robbinsdale to a 30 to 27 victory- Park’s fourth conference win was at the expense of U. High 47 to 28.. Two of Park's starters were ill, and a third was injured duriAg the game, as Park lost to Mound 41 to 47. Jerry Ludvigson received a deep gash over his left eye as he ran into the wall in the third quarter. The Jays jinxed the Orioles again, beating Park 38 to 36. For the fourth time during the year Park lost by two or less points. This time it was Wayzata who defeated Park in the last conference game 35 to 33. It was three times and out for Excelsior, as they lost to the Orioles 33 to 28 in the sub-district. Jack I odds and Jerry Ludvigson each collected 17 points to assure Park's 54 to 44 victory over Deephaven in the district tournament. Mound eliminated Park in the district semi-finals 42 to 23, but Park won the consolation game to take third place in District 18. They defeated Robbinsdale 57 to 40. TOP ROW: Burton. G. Anderson.

Frank . Rue and Mr. Zanna SITTING: Slreech. Tierney. Pickett. Mattson. Guenther, and G assing Under the direction of Peter Zanna, the hockey team had another fine season this year. After a slow start, in which they lost four straight games, the hockey team settled down to win the last five. Minnehaha Academy, although greatly outplayed, came the closest to Park in the last part of the season. Their score was 3 to 2 in favor of Park. Then Park was ceded the Region 3 championship when all the other teams in the district dropped out. In the first game of the state. Park played Warroads and lost 10 to 0. Warroads went on to become second in the state. The consolation game against Harding was not the trouncing that the score of 10 to 0 indicates. Park played fine hockey in that game but just didn't get the breaks.

The first meet was the Minnesota State High School Gymnastics Meet. Park placed ninth in the class C division of this meet with 3,961 points. Five juniors topped the squad in individual points, a good sign for next year's team. Individual points went as follows: Tom Sutton 526, Lloyd Nelson 520, Gordon Smith 506, Russell Olson 499, Neil Johnson 498, Odin Quady 473, Bill Engle-hardt 473, and Dick Tourville 466.

Lloyd Nelson, who finished second of the outside of the Twin City contestants, led the Orioles with 529.5 points. Tom Sutton was right behind Lloyd with 525 points. The rest of the squad followed in this order: Odin Quady 516, Gordon Smith 512, Bill Englehardt 490.5, Dick Tourville 474, Russ Olson 468, and Neil Johnson 467. GOLF LEFT TO RIGHT: ChrUtonson. Sorenson. Bauor. Nelson, and Ludvigson On May 20 the 1947 Oriole golfers took second place in the district meet to climax their season. A1 Sorenson led the Parkers by blasting out a 76 on the university golf course. Park finished second to U. High, the newly crowned district champs. Park's total of 340 was just five strokes behind U. High's 335. Robbinsdale finished third with 353. They were followed by last year's champs Hopkins, Mound, and Wayzata. The golf team ended the season with a .666 average, winning four and losing two. Bruce Christenson led the Orioles in yearly averages with a 79. The averages of the rest of the squad are as follows: Ludvigson 84, Sorenson 87, Rode 88, Nelson 89, and Bauer 92. Thin-Clads Win District Title Park's track team won the District 18 title by a 1.6 point margin over Hopkins on May 16. The 880 relay, the last event of the day, was the deciding factor of the meet, and Park's team composed of Tierney. Eaton, Bergerud, and Pooler came in third to give Park its victory margin. Park took an early lead in the meet, as Hedges and Eaton took first and second places in the shot put. the first event of the meet. The first running event was the 120 yard high hurdles. In this event Tad Ward of Park finished a close second behind Braatz of Hopkins. Pete Pooler took second and Paul Tierney took fifth in the 100 yard dash. This off-set the Robbins' first in the event which was made by Bob Renz. The 440 yard dash was probably the most exciting event of the day. In the first of two heats, Bob Hill set a breakneck pace for about 420 yards, but in the last twenty yards Larson of Hopkins put on his own burst of speed to win by less than five yards. Stan Roberts of Park v on the second heat and was third in the event to give Park a total of seven points for the quarter mile. In the mile Bob Neal finished fifth to garner more valuable points for Park. Park picked up another second in the 220 as George Gildert finished right on the heels of Renz, who won his second first for Robbinsdale. Duane Sewall won .6 of a point by tying for fourth in the high jump. At this point in the meet there were three events left, and Hopkins was ahead of Park by a mighty large eight points. The Robbins were less than a half point behind the Orioles. The eight points looked almost insurmountable to Coach Krueger and his men because the three events left were the discus, where Park was strong; the broad jump, which was uncertain; and the 880 relay, in which Park had previously been defeated by Hopkins. Gary Schatz took first in the discus, and Art Eaton took third for eight points. Charlie Swanson surprised everyone to win first in the broad jump with Bob Carlson tying for fourth. STANDING: Sewall.

These boys, in the last event of the Mound relays, captured first place in the mile relay to provide a one-sixth of a point edge for Park over Hopkins in the battle for second place, with Robbinsdale cinching first be-fgre the mile relay. Art Eaton took first in the shot-put and Bart Hedges placed third. Eaton threw the shot 44 feet 8 inches. Doug Franks and Pete Pooler placed second and third in the 100 yard dash behind Renz of Robbinsdale. Larry Rue and Duane Sewall each gained .6 of a point in the high jump, one of Park's weak spots. And, of course, the relay team placed third to .give Park its first district track title since 1941.

Dick Dale and A1 Sorenson drove in all of Park's runs. In the next game Excelsior became the victim of fourteen Oriole hits, as they lost to Park 12 to 1. Joe Rode pitched a wonderful game, allowing only one hit. A1 Sorenson hit the first home run of the season. Park dropped the third game 9 to 7 to De La Salle after having an early 3 to 2 lead. Wayzata’s Dave Koch's three-hit pitching downed the Orioles 4 to 2 in a great defensive game. Park's defense was sparked by a first inning double play— Moroni to Kuhlman to Ludvigson. Park won a seesaw game from Mound 17 to 16. The lead changed hands six times during the seven inning game. Don Olson was the winning pitcher. Jerry Adolphson of Park fanned eleven, walked six, and allowed two hits, as the Orioles trounced U. High 16 to 1. The last game of the season v as also the season's thriller. It was an extra inning affair which found Park beating Hopkins 4 to 3. Miller of Hopkins allowed six hits and no walks, and Rode of Park allowed two hits and eight walks.
