Sharon Wolfe was our first elected representative to student council as secretary. LaVay’s dancing classes brought back the “roaring twenties with “CharlestonOur dancing skill was demonstrated at our Soph Ball. This dance was only one of many which we could attend as senior high students. Bud Ondich. as our president, led our class of ’53 to the winning of the little yellow jug for the best conduct during Participation Week. Our sophomore year really established us in senior high. You’re a master of all you survey. “Oh, What a Beautiful Morning - Now as juniors we could look down at the new sophomores and laugh as we thought how long it seemed since we had felt the same way. We started off with a bang — banging of our knuckles on doors as our magazine drive got under way. An “Academy Award” was the result of our next project, the choosing of class rings. When they were delivered, we were thrilled to death and pleased to punch. “The corn was as high as an elephant's eye” during this gay, happy period of our school life. Barbara Obenauf and Denny Stedman eagerly awaited the coming summer when they would have their first taste of the mechanics of government as Girls’ and Boys’ State representatives. We carried on the precedent that we had set the year before by winning the yellow jug during Participation Week. The Junior-Senior Prom was enjoyed by all who attended. The student council elections wound up the year in a feverish finish, and Lefty Wright was elected to the post of student council president. We felt that our class had had a very successful year under the fine leadership of class president. Dick Riebe. — “We had a beautiful feeling, everything had gone our way “We're Sitting on Top of the World” — We’re seniors, the ones who are looked up to by underclassmen. This important year started out with the excitement of Homecoming. There was a great feeling of suspense until Jacquc Kobs was named queen to rule over the festivities. To supplement our class treasury, we again became salesmen, this time of Christmas cards. Wc started the new year by trading class pictures. A.C.E. tests were our next big worry, hut we managed to jump this hurdle. Although many of us were “Undecided as to careers and colleges, we did some deep thinking and made many decisions about these subjects as our last year progressed. With the arrival of Class Night, the realization that “This Was the Beginning of the End, came to mind. “May the Good Lord Bless and Keep You was in our thoughts as Baccalaureate made us serious and future-wise. Commencement Day was started with the senior breakfast in the morning. At Last the all-important evening arrived, and we found ourselves humming “Turn Back the Hands of Time for “Now Is the Hour When We Must Say Goodbye. We knew that we would always remember our high school experiences as Unforgettable.” Our last words as we left school for the last time were “Thanks for the Memories.” 19 VOGEL ALBINSON Work and play—that's Bozo’s way.

Our class has always been very enthusiastic, and our magazine drive was no exception. At this time we set a new sales record of $3400. We were really elated just before Christmas when the Golden Knights, our class rings, were delivered. In January we were seen struggling through A.C.E. tests along with the seniors. The giving of A.C.E. tests to juniors was a new wrinkle; however, we think it a great one. Now the juniors can use the whole senior year to make for “smoother sailing” upon graduation. The election of representatives to Girls’ and Boys’ State and next year’s student council officers required some deep thinking. This seriousness didn’t last, however, because before long it was May 15th, and Prom time excitement reigned as the big night approached. Now we are eagerly anticipating our senior year. It will be great to be the leaders to whom the underclassmen look for leadership; however, we sincerely hope that we shall be worthy of that leadership and that we shall succeed in leading to a bigger and brighter St. Louis Park High School.

At first the score confused us, but it wasn’t long before we learned our part and were playing in perfect tune and rhythm to contribute our part to the pleasing harmony of senior high. “Spreading the News,” the first sophomore play, Kay Jaglo’s writing the council minutes, the Soph Ball, and our first senior high auditorium programs, provided an excellent sound track as background for a year we’ll never forget.

Freshman Class “We’re looking at the world through rose colored glasses.” As Freshmen we were the leaders of the junior high. Linda Levitt was president of the junior high student council. We occupied the front center sections of the auditorium, and at the end of each program we heard, “you are now excused, Freshman first!” When basketball season rolled around, we saw six of our classmates leading cheers for the “B” squad. With the end of January, came the new challenge of Freshmen A.C.E. tests. In the spring we had our first taste of senior high dances as the guests of honor at the Tropical Canteen. We wound up this wonderful year with the election of next year’s senior high council secretary. “Everything looks rosy now.” John Duck, ninth grade class president, along with Steve Hegedus, vice president; Jane Friedlund, treasurer, aid Sue Bergan, secretary, in recording the first place victory of their Homecoming float.

Eighth Grade “Lucky, Lucky, Lucky Us” expressed our feelings as we came hack to school last fall. Our biggest project was Just-Us. This is the junior high newspaper published by the eighth grade. It was our job to gather and to write-up the news. Another big event was the annual Leadership Clinic. We had several canteens throughout the year at which we had lots of fun as we became better acquainted with the other members of our eighth grade class. The biggest thrill of the year was the Spring Concert in which we participated for the first time. LEFT TO RIGHT Standing: W. Johnson. Vice-President; Karen Glander, Secretary; Richard Olson.

When we looked around the Echo room at the beginning of the year we discovered an unusual thing. With the exception of one junior, all the staff members were seniors. Because we wanted to have a staff to whom we could turn over the paper after we graduated, one of our main projects of the year became the training of juniors and sophomores. The first job we undertook was the soliciting of subscriptions for the paper. Although the results of this campaign fell far short of our expectations, we proceeded with the publication of the eighteen issues, with some apprehension about our financial status. We gathered much worthwhile information when we attended journalism clinics sponsored by the University and the Star and Tribune. At Christmas time, we conducted the sale of T.B. seals to all students. This year also marked a “first” for us when we sponsored a clinic for our own students. With all these activities, we still had an issue going to press every two weeks. ECHO REPORTERS Left-right: Top Row: P. Tirdemann, S. Rosen, C. Bissell, C. Cartwright, J. Smith, N. Rauher, M.

Our staff, headed by co-editors Jackie Hjermstad and Mary Toensing, was announced early in the season by Anne Isacson. Echowan advisor. We began our duties immediately and established Tuesday as our regular meeting days. We seniors decided to make our book vivid and radiant and chose red as the color for its cover. This, along with the divisional pages, was designed by the art staff, headed by Sandy Benna, with David Blais and Shirlee Clark. “See the birdie!” Top photographer Roger Dale and his assistant, Noel Taylor, could be seen taking and developing pictures during the first half of the year; while our copy staff worked laboriously writing both prose and poetry. The feature copy staff was headed by Lois A. Johnson and consists of Carol Nolen, Arden Froemming. Connie Marcus, and Sarah Jacobson. The layout staff, consisting of Sharon Wolfe, and headed by Marilyn Solle, went to work early laying out the senior section of the Echowan. “Cut and paste” were familiar words in our vocabulary at this time, and we hoped that “Someday” the glue could be washed from our fingers. Part by part the Echowan of 1953 was sent to press. The senior section, underclassmen’s pictures, class activities, and sports divisions all passed through our yearbook staff’s hands. Girl’s sports, written by Claudette Selness, and boy’s sports, headed by Paul Herman and assisted by Brian Olson, contributed to a major part of the annual. Throughout the year our typists worked diligently to make the print come into being. Together with chairman LaVaughn Solberg, — Joanie Ohm, Sandre Hutchinson, Sue Sprague, and Nancy Rauber tapped the typewriter’s keys to mak our book the best ever. Business manager, Dawn Blumberg, with Barb Borchart. Bob Browne and Dick Riebe solicited courtesy ads to help support Park’s yearbook. “Oh, Happy Day” were the words we uttered when all of the Echowan was at the printers, but we staff members were secretly sorry to be through with our venture into the unknown. We will look back and say “Because You’re Mine we enjoyed every minute of you and your success. 64 Student Council Top: C. Gust. 0. Westerdahl, M. I.ang lon, J. Hjcrmstad, J. Kobs. P. Ohm, L.

Paterson. “Lead kindly light” might well he the theme song of one of our organizations which is looked up to and respected by all of the students. This organization is our student council. Although we are sometimes inclined to take life for granted and expect everything to be handed to us on a silver platter, it is never very long before we become aware of our duties and responsibilities, and everyone pitches in to help. One of our biggest projects for the year is Parkticipation Week. At this time school spirit is reawakened in every Park student. Since we do respect our council so much, we have learned to co-operate with them and follow the rules they make. This way we can walk down the halls knowing that we won’t be trampled upon any second, or we can walk around outside without fear of becoming the target for a bombardment of snowballs. It is due to the leadership of our council that St. Louis Park is the outstan 'ing school it is today. We have earned a good reputation for Park through our leadership representation. The 1952-1953 council has been most successful under the guiding spirit of president Gene Wright, assisted by Mark Rubin, vice president; Denny Stedman, treasurer; and Kay Jaglo, secretary. 65 All School Blue Tri Cabinet Top row: S.

She has been head spinner of Blue Tri records ever since we can remember. We feel that it will be almost impossible to find another jockey with such versatility, so it behooves us to acknowledge her leadership here. Mrs. Deanovic has been assisted this year by engineers Shirley Owens as President, La Vaughn Solberg as Vice President, Phyllis Ohm as Secretary, and Barb Lofrano as Treasurer. And now for the annual reports from the presidents of our branch recording stations throughout the country. “This is Carol Nolen speaking from station Z-E-T-A. First on the platter for this year was our joint Christmas Party with Dux.

Our first get-together from this branch was an introduction to the art of recording, including voting and rules. Having visited the Chicago members of the YWCA (Young Women Choral Arrangers) I reported the news of my trip to our local members. Getting away from all the work, we decided on a party with Adelphi. At Christmas time we made stuffed animal records.” “This is station R-E-G-A, Delores Keller reporting. First on our agenda for this year was a joint record ramble with Sigma called ‘Soda Session.’ At Christmas time music included ‘Slumber Time’ with Zeta Tri.

Last fall at the Recognition Service ninety-eight freshmen and sophomore girls were officially recognized as members of Silver Tri. Our speaker that night was from the Y.W.C.A. It has certainly been wonderful, thanks to the leadership of our advisers. Miss Bramel, Mrs Peterson, and our All-School president, Camille Meisscr. Their able assistants were Nancy Keyt. vice president; Carol Obenauf. secretary; and Paula Ravine, treasurer. Besides our all-school meetings we also had chapter meetings. For our first project in Arnica Tri we helped the new seventh graders find their rooms on the first day of school. Arnica Tri Top row: P. Ropers. P. Dona. D. Rudecn. G. Currie, D. Turner. C. Johnson.

Mrs. Anderson was our adviser for the first semester and Mrs. Grijak finished the year with us. Our president was Marion Shervey. Ramona Syverson was vice president, Mary Rollins was secretary, and Judy Grunzke was treasurer. In Poca Tri we got our service project out of the way early in the year with the filling of a Thanksgiving basket for a needy family. For Friendship Week we were in charge of the senior high assembly. The Telephone Company was the destination of our field trip.

With Miss Hallquist as our adviser and Beryl Honsey as president assisted by Linda Levitt as vice president, Susan Lavine as secretary, and Eileen Olson as treasurer; Prima Tri also had a successful year. Our service projects included the making of yarn dolls for servicemen, the making of dominoes for children in hospitals, and the filling of a Thanksgiving basket. This year in Risa Tri we sent money to the Holiday Bureau for a Christmas basket. For Friendship Week we put on a daylight dance for the junior high. We also had a bowling party and a speaker from the juvenile court. Our adviser, Miss Anderson; and our president, Georgiana Christman with the other officers, Marlene Knutson, vice presidents; Pat MacFarlane, secretary; and Janet Woldsdale, treasurer; helped a great deal to make this such a wonderful year.

HI-Y “Stouthearted Men”—The Hi-Y program at Park offers to us many fine opportunities for participating in recreation, fellowship, and learning with hoys our own age. We are very fortunate in having the privilege of joining these clubs and developing our characters and personalities under the guidance of our fine advisors. We attended one all school meeting a month and at these meetings we enjoyed many fine programs. The topics we discussed during the first semester were “Religion” and “Sportsmanship,” and during the second semester we talked about “Teen-Age Morals” and “Spare-Time Rcrcation. Our leaders for the first semester were Larry Youngblood, president; Dick Riebe, vice-president; Bill Westerdahl, secretary; Noel DeCambaliza. treasurer; and Tony Gerber, chaplain. Cordon Griebenow was our advisor for the year. These boys started out the year by attending an officers training session at Camp Ihduhapi. The second semester officers received their training at the mid-winter training session which was held at Portland Avenue Christian Church. At these meetings, “Y” leaders taught the officers how to handle their various positions. The new year ushered in a new All School cabinet as well as new chapter cabinets, when we held our regular mid-year elections. The results were Bill Westerdahl, president; Bud Ondich, vice-president; Charles Tyler, secretary; Jerry Norbury, treasurer; Dewey Cedarblade, chaplain. For recreation, we held a basketball tournament during this season. This was an elimination contest played between the members of the various chapters. Our biggest recreation activity of the year was the Snow Party which we held at Camp Ihduhapi on February 12. All of us and our dates had a great day tobaggan-ning. skiing, and skating until we were worn out. Lunch was provided by our dates, but we treated the girls to dinner served by the camp management. This party was considered very successful by all of us. We finished up our year with our final banquet at which next year’s officers were introduced. We had an excellent speaker, and a skit was presented by each chapter. As we bade farewell to our retiring officers and welcomed our new ones, we felt thankful that we had such a wonderful activity as Hi-Y to participate in. We Adelphi men elected our officers for the first semester early in the fall. These leaders were Bruce Smith, president; Doug Sweet, vice-president; Ralph Rydland. secretary; Dave Rekdahl, treasurer; and Steve Schodde, chaplain. John Little served as our advisor. These boys led us through the first eighteen weeks with good results. Members of our chapter helped serve at the annual Halloween dance. We sponsored a canned food drive during the two weeks before Christmas vacation. The results of this drive, approximately 1.000 cans, were given to needy families in St. Louis Park. After Christmas we started out the year with our new cabinet consisting of Chet Davis, president: Dave Rekdahl, vice-president; Cappy Ware, secretary; Jim Patterson, treasurer; and Don Ronard, chaplain. Our big project of the year came next with our sponsoring of the annual Lumberjack Day on January 23. Highlights of this day were the beard growing contests won by Noel DeCambaliza and the log sawing contest won by Dale Johnson and John McMasters who sawed their log faster than any of the other would-be lumberjacks. 72 Adelphi Hi-Y Front row: V.

This dance featured the Adortho mystery man whose identity remained unknown until three girls won the contest correctly guessing him to he Don Waldeland. We “Dukes” of Dux began our year with Dick Norris as president, John Steinhelber as vice president, Denny Ostlund as secretary, Lea Hill as treasurer, and Dewey Cedarblade as chaplain. In November we swam in the Y.M.C.A. pool to keep in shape for summer. Mr. Ang, an exchange student from Burma, provided us with an interesting program when he spoke to us on his life in Burma. We then formed a bowling team with Dick Norris, Bob Heimerl, Roger Dale, Dave Ranallo, and Noel Taylor as the top five bowlers. We confidently challenged both boy and girl teams.

We first sold St. Louis Park High School pennants. Then we held a successful cake sale. Our next project was a dance which we put on, and last we had a concession at the Hopkins basketball game. In addition to our regular business meetings, we had one joint meeting with a Blue Tri chapter. Our chapter, Iota, was one of two new chapters formed toward the end of the first semester. Our first set of officers was Keith Mason, president; Gordy Gonion, vice president; Dale Dunham, secretary; Alden Kendal, treasurer; and Tom Viitala, chaplain. At Christmas time, we were very busy spreading the cheer of the season. We sold Christmas wrappings at this time. We also sold tickets for Christmas trees at the Y’s men’s lot at 50th and Drew, and then we helped sell the trees themselves. The project which did our hearts good was the giving of a complete turkey Christinas dinner to a needy Park family. Iota Hi-Y Front row: J. Hyatt, D. Dunham. J. Enghauser, adviser Mr. Haligrcn. W.

Horskorta NOVI HI-Y started out the year with a small membership, so we were limited to a few activities. For a fellowship meeting we played a volleyball game with Rex Hi-Y. At a joint meeting with Ortho we had as our guest speaker Vern Mikkelson whom we enjoyed very much. We made plans for our big Thanksgiving dance at which we planned to give away a live turkey, but the first big snowstorm of the year canceled our festivities. We fellows from Ortho began our year with the election of our president, Gordy Knudson; vice president, Paul Herman; secretary, Don Brown; treasurer, Gary Weyrauch; and chaplain, Emil Zonne. A big project which extended from September through December was the sale of our orange and black Park High tee-shirts. At Christmas time, we provide a meal with all the trimmings for a needy family in the Park. When the year changed, we did too, at least with officers. The elections found Dick Riebe as president, Gordy Knudson, vice president; Paul Herman, secretary; Stan Sable, treasurer; and Don Brown, chaplain. Ortho Hi-Y Front row: E. Zonne, D. Riebe, G.

Lefty Wright, our first semester president, combined with Jim Hand, vice president; Don Maltby, secretary; and Ned Stone, treasurer, were our guides through our first semester projects. We sponsored an old clothes drive this year to help unfortunates. Supero was the name we chose for our chapter which was one of two new ones formed by the overflow from the other groups. We didn’t have too many projects because we were busy organizing our club so that it could become as smoothly running a club as the other long-established chapters. At Christmas time we went into the sales business when we offered Christmas tree tickets and gift wrapping. Supero Hi-Y Front row: T. Gordon. R. von Lorenz. I). Blais, adviser .Mr. Langen, W.

Senior Red Cross “Love thy neighbor,” the theme of our organization, inspired us to plan and execute successfully our first project of the year—a gift box drive for children in foreign countries. With the enthusiastic help of the senior home rooms, we filled 250 boxes and, with a warm glow in our hearts, sent them on their way to these children who are so much less fortunate than we.

We served as the rhythm section at all Park games. We're not only the nucleus of the St. Louis Park orchestra, but very often you’ll hear some of our own solos. For instance, Pep Club started out the Symphony of ’53 by sponsoring the First Football at which Ellen Gray and Warren Jeppeson reigned as King and Queen Football. Of the many floats seen in the Homecoming Parade, Pep Club was the proud owner of one. At the Homecoming game each member gaily waved her orange and black shakers in time with the peppy cheerleaders. The performance is held each game night under the direction of Jean Fast, president, and her assistants—Sandra Benna, vice-president; Julie Bramwell, secretary-treasurer; and Mary Waldeland, recorder. Our soloists were the cheerleaders, Diane Bartholome, Lois Gifts, Jackie Hjermstad, Marilyn MacDonald. Sue Quarness. and Marlys Tschimperle. Front row: B. Fox, L. Giffis, M. MacDonald, M.

We were eager to start our round of activities, and we did just that by presenting one of the first dances of the year. This was our third annual “Lettermen's Leap” on October 23. “Peanuts, popcorn” we called as we operated the concession stand for five home football games. $300 was raised by these efforts for the athletic benefit fund. We also distributed football posters to business establishments throughout the Park. We did it again when we raised $300 more for the fund by the selling of popcorn for the ten home basketball games. Throughout the year, we gave $500 to injured athletes. Our meetings were held every month in the band room with Mr. Lloyd Holm and Mr. Peter Zanna as advisers. With the excellent guidance of our president, Don Sullivan assisted by Bozo Albinson, vice president, Jerry Norbury, secretary, and Peter Lindberg, treasurer, we had a very successful year.

One of our members serves each hour as supervisor in the office. Me is in charge of seeing that each class has the right film and a projector at the right time and place. The girls in our club are also active, but they have a different kind of job to do. While we are helping with the running of projectors, the girls stayed in the Visual Aid office and worked as typists and general office secretaries. Camera Club “You Oughta Be in Pictures” is what we said to anyone patient enough to pose for us while we tried to apply the picture-taking techniques we learned in Camera Club. We started the year with an election of officers. The results showed that Noel Taylor was our president. Don Lane served as vice-president and Chet Davis was our secretary-treasurer. Mr. Schutte, our adviser, helped us to obtain several film strips which were shown at our meetings. Front row: R. Albertson, N. Taylor, D. Love, advisor Mr. Shutte, C. Davis, D. Janes; Center row: R.

The purpose of our club is to foster an interest in debate with particular emphasis on being able to think and speak on ones feet. This year wc participated in tournaments at Mankato. Carleton. Gustavus Adolphus, as well as the Regional tournament at Southwest High School and the Augsburg College tournament. Lloyd Becroft and Dave Ziegenhagen upheld the affirmative. Tom Crowley and Steve Shoddc upheld the negative. Declamation “Make Me Know It was our feverish last minute thought as the day of the declamation meet drew near, but we discovered later that wc didn't need to worry after all. Bonnie Rollins and Tony Gerber represented Park in the manuscript reading division. Our orators were James Archer, Dewey Cedarblade. Stanley Doerr. and John Havstad. Janna Lee Gale and Paul Herman gave humorous readings, while Gloria Johnson's and Ruth Windsor’s readings were serious.

The Halloween Dance, the Anniversary Ball, and the Tropical Canteen were our major projects. Another big job was making the Christmas transparencies for the hall windows. Library Club w “It’s in the Book” is what we library club members say when we help other students in the library. We each spend approximately two hours a week working at the circulation desk checking books at the doer, or taking care of such duties as arise in the course of the day. We have learned much about the library by our practical experience in this club. Our officers for the year are: Sandra Gow. president; Jerry Aamodt. vice-president; and Sally Aker, secretary-treasurer. Our helpful adviser was Miss Johnson, librarian. Front row: J. Bauer. J.

On meeting days of the National Thespian Society troupe 1078, wc were seen wearing our blue and gold beanies. Our programs and projects were all concerned in some way with dramatics, a subject in which we were all vitally interested. Play Casts “Curtain Time” was always a mad rush as we dashed to our places and made frenzied effort to remember our lines. Instead of class plays, we gave all-school plays this year. Mr. DeClercq directed “The Night of January 16th, our fall play. The part of Karen Andre, who was on trial, was played by Gloria Johnson; Paul Herman was Flint, the prosecuting attorney; and Dewey Cedarblade was Stevens, the defending attorney. In March we presented the comedy, “George Washington Slept here” under the direction of Mr. Alwin. Dewey Cedarblade, Stanley Doerr, Tony Gerber, Nancy Janes, Rochelle Margulas, and Birdie Thies were members of the cast. Mr. DeClercq directed us in the production of our most serious play of the year, William Shakespeare’s “Macbeth.” Larry Youngblood was starred as Macbeth with Diane Devore as Lady Macbeth. The three witches were played by Jackie Hjermstad, Ruth Windsor, and Carol Nolen. Chess Club Bottom row: M. Silverman. D. Joy, A. Simons, adviser Mr. Loegering. M. Carpenter, B. Crystal. J. Aainodt.

Just-Us, which we put out each month. Another of our jobs was the typing out of tests for teachers. Leaflets for the Women's Club, programs, ballots and circulars for school organizations were among our other tasks. Front row: J. Ruedy. A. Froemming. K. Sanders, B. Miller. P.

His associate workers were Steve Shodde. vice president; Jackie Skorey, secretary; and Hugo Meisser, treasurer. Our adviser was Mrs. Deanovic. Biology Club “Shine Little Glow Worm” could be our theme song; although we didn't study any glow worms this year in Biology Club, we did have a lot of fun under the leadership of our officers—Cathy Cartwright, president; Nancy Heller, vice president; Sharon Bain, secretary, and Judy Rornian, treasurer—and our adviser, Mr. Hayden. Our most interesting project was our heart scrapbook which we made after careful study and experimentation. Our major project, however, was to take pictures of biology movies. Front row: G.

Under the leadership of Mrs. Adkisson, Mrs. Deanovic, and Mr. Griebenow, the clinic was a huge success. It had its beginning at a conference at the Y.W.C.A. Ten delegates represented Hark at the conference along with students from other schools. Birdie Thies and Dave Ziegenhagen were chosen from the ten as co-chairmen. The rest of the committte served as chairmen of the various committees in our own Leadership Clinic. Dewey Ccdarblade was in charge of entertainment. Donny Brown, Dick Riebe, and Barbara Obenauf planned group discussions. The table decorations were made under the artistic ability of Nancy Janes. Shirley Owens was in charge of selecting delegates for the clinic. To start the clinic with a bang we had square dancing in the junior high gym. We proceeded to the auditorium where we had singing with Ted Shirley. “Pardon, Mister, Is Your Leadership Showing?” was the main speech of the day, given by Tom Hodgson, a prominent lawyer from Edina. We then proceeded to our Crackerbarrcl discussion groups. The five topics under discussion were: “Member of a Family,” “Citizen in a Democracy,” “An Active Member of a Community, “Leader in a School Community,” and “Choosing a Vocation.” Each of the groups had a very successful discussion on its topic. To climax the clinic we had dinner. “Closer relationship between school and school board, parent, and community,” was stressed by Mr. Plantikow one of our school board members who was the speaker of the evening. e e G 1 1st row: M.

Jim Quinn was elected president, and it became his job to take over the class whenever Mr. Griebenow was absent. The other officers were Marilyn Henderson, vice-president; LaNaughn Solberg. secretary; and Bozo Alhinson. treasurer. We started learning our music right away. However several of our members took some extra time and learned some extra music in order to he in the All-State Chorus of l.(XK) voices at the M.E.A. convention in November. All of us who took part in this project said that it was a wonderful and never-to-be-forgotten experience. Our entire Glee Club held our first concert on December 2, when we sang at the St. Louis Park Woman's Club meeting. The next Saturday, December 5. we were invited to sing at the intermission program of the “UV' Christmas Formal in Coffman Memorial Union. We were very bus) during this period right before Christmas, because we gave an evening program of Christmas music on December 17, and the same program for the students on December 19. In this program we were assisted by junior chorus and girls’ chorus. We sang Fred Waring's arrangement of “The Nutcracker Suite” and “The Song of Christmas” accompanied by Jackie Hjermstad and Lois A. Johnson at the piano. 88 u b 1st row: G. Koeppel. J. Johnson. B.

After Christmas we started working hard on program music again in preparation for our scheduled concerts. On February 11. we were visited by Columbia Heights Choir which presented a fine program. A month later, on March 10. we visited Columbia Heights and delivered a program containing selections ranging from Bach to Waring. Just two weeks after this we presented the concert which was the most impressive and beautiful of the year. “The Seven Last Words of Christ. which was given on March 23 as our Faster offering. After Faster vacation, our second hour music class again buckled down and practiced hard for the Lake District Festival, to which we eagerly looked forward and which was just around the corner. We journeyed to Edina on April 16 for this festival, at which we enjoyed ourselves greatly, singing with many other young people. We soon realized that our marvelous year was almost up when we offered our annual Spring Concert in combination with the other two choruses. Our last public appearance was at Baccalaureate on May 31. when we did our best to add to the lovely service. Many thanks for a wonderful year in music goes to our director and self-appointed baby sitter. Gordon Griebc-now or “Mr. G. Without his firm and able guidance, we feel that our vocal experiences would not have meant as much to us as they did. 89 S e n i o r 1st row: M. Peterson, N. Oslyn. I . Marsha), A. Westenlalil. J.

Most of these were pepfe9ts where we played marches and the Loyalty Song. At football games we were the main attraction at half-time as we went through our formations out on the field. Homecoming came during the football season, too. At this time the band played for the coronation of the queen and led the parade of homeroom floats. Since it would have been impossible to make formations on the floor at basketball games, we had to be satisfied to just play popular songs and marches between the games and let our twirlers furnish the half-time entertainment. Besides our regular majorettes, Jackie Anderson, Pat Brachcr, Dixie Carlson. Pat Franks, Sarah Jacobson. Marjorie Jewell, and Deanna Jones, we also had five flag-swingers this year. They were Dawn Blumbcrg, Joan Burt, Marilyn Henderson. Sandra Hutchinson, and Barbara Pfiefer. While all of these extra things were taking place, we were still rehearsing more serious music for an hour every day and really getting our teeth into the tough spots at sectional rehearsals once a week. This was nothing but preparation for the five concerts we later presented. The first was for all fifth and sixth grade students in St. Louis Park. At this time we concentrated mainly on demonstrating the various instruments to them and the selections we played were chosen accordingly. Then, after more hard work, we went on our annual tour which lasted for two days. Our destination was the western part of the state and we presented concerts at both Fargo and 90 1st row: B.

One was presented during the day for the student body, the other was our yearly Spring Band Concert. This program, held in the evening, also featured numbers by the two junior high school hands. It was attended by many students as well as our parents and many other adults who enjoy good music. Twenty members of our band also participated in the All Conference Band. This group practiced several times with band members from each school in the Lake Conference and later presented a concert. A large number of our band students also participated in the district and state solo and ensemble contests. Mr. Bohm, our adviser and director, was responsible for the arrangement of all these activities. Each of our officers also had a special job this year. Larry Youngblood, our president, acted as general overseer for everything that was going on. Our vice president, Jerry Norbury, spent his second period in the band room every day arranging the chairs and stands in our concert formation. He was also in charge of getting the stage set before concerts. Arden Froemming, secretary, took attendance in class every day Ed Wheeler, treasurer, was in charge of our main money making project—the candy sales during the four lunch periods every day. Joan Anderson, our librarian, kept our music filed in the office and saw to it that everyone had a copy of new pieces. It wasn’t just through the efforts of these people, however; but rather the co-operativeness of each individual band member that this year was such a success. 91 Girls’ Chorus 1st row: G. Lisk, J.

Junior Chorus is an elective subject for all of us 8th and 9th grade students. President, Kent Albinson, vice president, Judy Garber, secretary, Jerri Goldberg, and treasurer, Jon Bastabic led us through our vocal activities. By means of rhythm training, ear training, and reading of new music, we were prepared for Glee Club. One of our chief aims is cooperation and this year with the enrollment over one hundred, this quality becomes especially necessary. At Christmas time, we made our first public appearance in our program for the holidays. Junior Chorus 1st row: B. Paske, M. Felland, S. Crocker, K. Hoover. M. Weisncr, J. Freiborg, G.

There were so many of them interested in band this year that we organized a new band composed of seventh graders only. We spent one hour a day rehearsing music and learning how to get along together as an organization. Since we were such a new group we didn’t have many appearances; but we did present two concerts in the spring, one for the student body and one for the general public. Several of us also participated in the Junior High Lake Conference Instrumental Solo and Ensemble Festival. Our officers this year were Dick Arndt, president; Judy Gerber, vice-president; Mary Enestveldt, secretary: Bob Huebmer, treasurer. Mr. Rochat was our director and adviser. Seventh Grade 1st row: L.

We played for several of the football and basketball pepfests besides giving several concerts. We presented two of these concerts here at school. One was a daytime concert for the students; the other for the parents was held in the evening. Our exchange concert for the students of Edina High School was the highlight of the year’s activities.

These are the coaches, without whom some 300 participants in interscholastic sports would have no opportunity for competition. In the past ten months St. Louis Park has been represented in two state tournaments, has won a district championship, has had a district runner-up and a conference runner-up. The remarkable success of Park athletics is in large part because of the work that these men have. But the story of interscholastic competition at Park is riot told only by the seasons' records. The athletes, whether they had a winning season or a losing one, always showed fine spirit and determination. The coaches gave tirelessly of their time and effort to inspire this enthusiasm. 10?

Coach Gerry Krueger’s Orioles turned in one of their finest seasons in 1952. mainly because of the experience the team members had had in previous seasons. There were thirteen returning lettermcn. They were: Bozo Albinson. Noel DcCambaliza. Butch Frieborg, Arlan Frocmming. Ken Gustafson, Roger llstrup. captain Tom Johnson, Don Maltby, John McMasters, Larry Nygaard, Judd Smith. Jim Stoltman. and Emil Zonne. The Park eleven, who are perennially slow starters, lost their two opening games to Anoka and Edina. The Orioles were severely handicapped in both games by numerous injuries to key players. Anoka defeated Park 21-0, as our boys just couldn’t seem to get rolling. The Edina game was the championship tussle, although it was the first conference game for both teams. Had Park won that game, the squad would have had an undefeated conference season and a Lake conference championship. Although the Orange and Black outplayed the Edina team, the Hornets came out on the long end of a 14-6 score. As an illustration of Park’s superiority over conference foes, the Orioles outscored league rivals by an aggregated score of 143 to 37, averaging 24 points a game to their opponents’ six.

Included in the wins was a most satisfying victory over Hopkins. which always has one of the top “B squads in this area. C-Squad Basketball Park’s “C squad, coached by Vernon Winter and Roger Thompson, experienced a fine season. The Orange and Black turned in an overall season's record of eleven wins and five losses. This is especially impressive in view of the fact that most of Park's regulars were in eighth grade, while their opponents were usually freshmen. Front row: R. Sorenson. W. Johnson, W. Burkhardt, T.

Park’s 1952-1953 basketball squad was considered a darkborse from the beginning of the season until its conclusion. Coach Lloyd Holm’s Orioles fit the description throughout the campaign, experiencing a wide variety of “ups and downs.” The Park five won six and lost six in league play, giving them a tie for third place in Lake conference standings. The team and its backers felt, though, that with a few more “breaks.” Park could have won another two or three games. Park did well against non-conference opposition, also. The team defeated Washburn, a city league power, and Kau Claire Regis, the defending Wisconsin State Catholic champion. The Orange and Black lost close decisions to Bemidji, one of the best teams in the state, by only one point, and Mechanic Arts, St. Paul runner-up. by two points. The squad did well in tournament play, defeating Wayzata in the sub-district, and Bloomington and Minnetonka in the District 18 tourney. Then the Orioles met Hopkins, the defending state champion, and lost, but this loss came only after the boys reached the district finals. Special honors were heaped upon Don Waldeland and Jim Stoitman. Don was named All-Conference on both the coaches and sportswriters’ teams. He was chosen All-District 18 for his fine play in the tournament, and named Most Valuable player by his teammates. Jim was also selected as an All-District player for the contribution he made toward Park’s fine tournament showing.

P. Lindbrrg. Hockey at Park finally came back into its own. After four years of preparation, under coach Peter Zanna, the team hit the jackpot again, the State Tournament. During the season the team set six new records for Park hockey. Terry Bartholome lead the scoring with 26 goals and 15 assists for 41 points, followed by Bob Owen with 12 goals, 15 assists for 27 points, and Brian Olson with 13 goals, and 8 assists for 21 points. The pucksters scored 77 goals while giving up only 21. Park averaged 4.5 goals per game, while holding opponents to 1.2. Ski Club Park’s 1953 Ski club was run on the same informal basis as the 1952 club. The group, advised by Wayne Sundbcrg, held several meetings, at which they discussed skiing, the object of the club being to study techniques of skiing rather than to participate interscholastically. However, four boys were picked out of the club to comprise a ski team, which had one dual meet, a win over Edina. The four members were John Witt, Tom Viitala, Dave Nordquist, and Tom Tyler.

Both. Mr. Krueger, L. Nygaard, R. Burton. L. Frieborg; Hack row: E. Zonne, V. Albinson, S. Matchan. C. Brown, J. Carlson, B. Newdahl, J. Me Masters, A. Froemming. Coach Gerald Krueger of the track squad, expects a bright season this year. He feels that most of the other schools are now running out of material, and Park is just starting to find it. Though the past seasons have been very successful, this season shows the most promise. This is one of the seasons, Coach Krueger feels, that every department has been well rounded. The weights will be handled by Arlan Froemming, John McMasters, and Bill Westerdahl. Coach Krueger hopes that members of the Cross Country team will run the mile, Emil Zonne the Vfc mile, and Don Brown the x mile. The dashes will be handled by Butch Freiborg and Jerry Carlson. Not only are the weights and running departments in good condition, but polevauit and high jump departments are also looking good. Ronny Burton will do the pole-vaulting and Larry Nygaard the high jump. Cross Country Team Fall, 1952, was the first season that Park fielded a cross-country team. Considering this fact, the Orioles had a successful season. They defeated the Southwest “B” squad 18-37 and lost to North 19-37. However, for an inexperienced group of boys, the squad did well.

Mitchell. J. Archer, R. Olson. J. Tappan. Although there were no returning lettermen, and the golfers had a new coach, they had a fair record of 2 wins and 3 losses. After a couple of rounds of try-out golf, the team was finally made up of 3 juniors, 1 sophomore, and 1 freshman. Jim Archer, Dick Mitchell, and Brian Olson were the juniors, 1 sophomore, and 1 freshman. Jim Archer, Dick Mitchell, and Brian Olson were the juniors, Kenny Shelton the sophomore, and James Otis the freshman. Roger Olson and John Tappan also made the squad and played in a few matches. Tennis Team Coach Roger Thompson’s debut as Park's tennis mentor proved to he a very successful one. The outlook was very dim at the beginning of the season, but the squad lost only three dual meets, while winning five. The season was climaxed by Park's upset victory in the District 18 tourney. It was the second consecutive year Park has won the tourney. Front row: P. Herman. J. Quinn, Mr. Thompson. I). Norris, ft. Yartdal; Back row: J. Lauren, I). Kekdahl. I). Sullivan. J. Sticnhelber, S.

Bartholme. “Take Me Out To The Ball Game,” a song which was sung by the baseball players, turned out to be a hit tune. Under the direction of Coach Vern Winters, the ball club not only took 3rd place in the State Tournament, but put Park on the baseball map of Minnesota. Starting out slowly, Coach Winters worked the hoys into a well-rounded team. Each game that came along the boys got better. The regular league season came to a close with Park in second place, which gave them the right to enter the District play-offs. It didn’t take long before they rolled up two wins against Watertown and Wayzata, and went into the Regional play-offs. Defeating Washburn and Willmar in the regionals, they entered the State Baseball Tournament. Drawing Melrose, the favored club of the tournament, in the first round. Park racked up a very convincing 10 to 5 win. Meeting Halstad, the 1952 tournament winner, in the next round, they were defeated in a closely fought ball game 7 to 4. Graduating lettermen Mike O’Shea, the Orioles leading hitter, Bill Hammel, Lee Mingo, and John Stone the steadiest player on the team, were given great praise by Coach Winters. Coach Winters expects to have a good season this year, l ecause of the experience his team will have. Bob Bersct and Dick Hurt will carry most of the pitching duties, and the fielding department will l e taken by many good boys. Due to the transfer of catcher Judd Smith to California, this happens to be the only troublesome spot, but Coach Winters feels that there are some boys who can take over in fine manner.

In the spring athletic awards are given to those of us who participated most actively in sports, and a special award goes to the girl who displays the finest qualities of sportsmanship, athletics, and scholastic standing. A big, fun-packed softball game was the last “ball” game of the year for the members of our club. Junior High G. A. A. “Be Fair” was our motto this year in Junior High G.A.A. as we learned to be good sports about the outcome of games we watched as well as those in which we participated. With sack lunches, a baseball and a bat, and an abundance of pep and energy, we started the year’s activities with a successful picnic at Oak Hill Park. After school every Thursday afternoon we met in the gym to participate in our favorite indoor sports: volleyball, basketball, badminton, and tumbling. Front row: left to right, J. Shaw, J.
