We were as proud as punch of our freshman orchid queen, Jane Ann Riebe. The feelings of importance and belonging swelled within us as we vowed to make the best of our high school days. Electing Susie Robbins as secretary of the Student Council, we were off to a good start. Change is constant . . . As sophomores, we gladly welcomed the split schedule for it cut the school day by two hours. This and the fact that we were now a definite part of the senior high called for many adiustments. Studies became harder, but we accepted them on the basis of their being a part of grow- ing up. The social part of our new life impressed us as we particpated in every activity for which we found time. We were completely awed by the Anniversary Ball. The decorations, the orchestra music, and the quiet gaiety of the atmosphere made this dance one to remain forever in our memories. The Soph Ball, a special dance of our own, brought our class closer together. Sports drew our attention and enlivened our spirits. Carefully, we followed every event as our sophomore boys conditioned for the time when they would have to lead the teams. With the election of class officers and of Buzz Johnson as Stu- dent Council vice-president, our sophomore days ended. Change is constant . . . The class ring which we selected with care reflected the modern age of which we are a part. At this time, we realized the shortness of our high school years. A lot of learning had to be packed into this time, and studying became a necessary part of our preparation for those all important ACE tests. Homecoming was a big social event of the year. We planned laboriously to make Autumn Leaves the best homecoming dance ever. All of us were out to watch our team tie Hopkins. Dancing to Jerry Dibble's music formed a perfect ending to the festivities. Open house became the motto after the games. Junior boys proved to be worthy of top positions on our basketball team. With great delight, we backed them to the Region finals where we were beaten only by the state champs. Amid the excite- ment of basketball, we changed from bermudas and knee-highs to billowy formals and again attended the A Ball. Honors began to fall on members of our class. Kathy Starkey and Todd Davidson were chosen to represent us at Girls' and Boys' state. Buzz Johnson was the lucky fellow winning the U.N. Pilgrimage trip, and Jay Sargeant was our A.F'.S. student to spend the summer abroad. With Career Day came the realization that plans must be made for the future. Parents accepted their children as being on the threshold of adulthood as the Junior-Senior Prom approached, Planning and finally enioying the Prom brought our Junior year to a close, but even greater things were ahead of us. Change is constant . . . With cries of isn't it fabulous and l'm lost, we started our most important year in the new senior high building. Senior's first became the cry as we left assemblies. The responsi- bility of the new Student Council fell under the leadership of John Keating as president and Susie Robbins as treasurer. Election of Nancy Zavodsky and Rog Plantikow as homecoming co-chairmen got planning under way for our very last homecoming. Hoping and dreaming, ten senior girls were nominated for homecoming queen. The final vote showed Sonia Steenson as queen with Mary Kay Bach, Sharry Bigalke, Belva Pearson, and Jane Ann Riebe as her attendants. The game with Robbinsdale was lost, but school spirit prevailed, and The Royal Knight was a roaring success. At the youth conference, we approved the Teen Age Code which remained a topic for discussion long afterward. A casual look of pigtails, freckles, and gunny sacks was evident at the Sadie Hawkins dance where Babe Peterson and Dick Griffin were chosen as Daisy Mae and Little Abner. Budding Actors and actresses staged One Foot in Heaven, our senior class play. We all agreed that it was the greatest performance ever, but we were a little prejudiced. Christmas brought more than the usual excitement when canteen sponsored a formal dance preceding vacation. Soon planning was being done by Judy Pehle and John McHugh in preparation for the spring Talent.Show. Both hockey and basketball got off to G1 good start. As the basketball team won important games, the state tournament became the dream of our class. Class ratings along with the announcements of the Valedictorian, the Salutatorian, and the National Honor Socety became our main interest. Early in May we began to realize that our days at Park were drawing to a close. The Tropical, Prom, and the Senior Assembly were soon to become a thing of the past. Baccalaureate . . . commencement . . . class night . . . senior caravan . . . last farewells . . . these were the closing thoughts of our memorable life at Park. 19 CHARLES ADAMS Those obstinate teachers, why can't I convince them?

This group has had a well-rounded training. They have learned both scholastic ability, leadership qualities, cooperation, and loyalty in all that they do. Without this group of willing workers, the machinery of the school would be less efficient. Keeping the many school organizations running smoothly takes a great deal of ability in organizing. This group makes the social life of the student body more varied and interesting. The school, in order to show their appreciation for the work these leaders have accomplished, select them for membership to the National Honor Society. Leading the class of 1957 in scholastic ability were John Keating and Kathy Starkey, valedictorian and salutatorian. These two. outstanding students together with nineteen other seniors were selected for the coveted membership to the National Honor Society. This select group represents the fine qualities that leaders must possess. To them, the class of '57 expresses their heartiest congratulations on iobs well done. Top row: H. Hofstrand, R. Shank, J.

LA, gh f4,,,w,.w Wwdwwf Juniors Headed by Bob Erickson, Mary Ann Evans, Mary Youngblood, and Jim Williams, we started our year off by fall- ing right in step with our new surround- ings and by setting our goals high. The beautiful new school with its many pos- sibilities provided us with a background for The Royal Knight, our 1956 home- coming dance. The new gym took on a glorious air as we danced to the music of Dick and Don Mow's Band after our game with Robbinsdale. Even though we were defeated by Robbinsdale, the spirit of Louie reigned over our dance with Queen Sonia. The choosing of our class ring was a difficult task. We at last decided on the Starfire, and all of us knew that there could never be another so grand. With the preparation for ACE tests, we all agreed that it would be a good idea to make full use of the extensive facilities of this new school. The class la Our Town was a lot of work, but it was also at P Y great success. Excitement swept through our class as elections took place. Representatives to Girls'and Boys State'and to the ULN. Pilgrimage were chosen. We surveyed our class for possible potential leaders, and then we carefully elected our Student Council president and treasurer and our Senior Class officers. Various other iobs around school began to fall into our hands. Canteen co-chairmen were disclosed, Echo editors were named, and the 1958 Echowan Staff was formed. Again, we were drawn from our studies as anticipation and wonder filled our beings. After planning the Prom, our efforts were rewarded withanihttb b d ' ' ' g o e remem ere always. As we look to the future, we are filled with pride to think that soon we will be the leaders of this magnificent school. A r Mary Ann Evans Sis Youngblood Bob Erickson Jim Williams Secretary V.

Sophomores Vern Strand Judy Rowe Dick President Secretary Treasurer formal, and we all agreed later that it was even better than unity was increased as we sophomores had more year was nearing its end, we wanted to would be as enioyable as this one had been. our Student Council officers. Looking back on As sophomores we became an important part of the greatly talked about new St. Louis Park High School. Vern Strand, Judy Row, and Dick Tuthill were chosen to guide us on our new adventure. Our first problem was that of getting acquainted with the new school and with new re- sponsibilities. This was a challenge to us, and one we were happy to accept. We re- solved to put all of our efforts into making this a year to be proud of and to be re- membered as one of the best. On the bright side of our school lives were the numerous senior high activities. The gala festivities of Homecoming finally rid us of any feeling of homesickness which we may have had, and we settled right down to make our home here. Christmas came upon us before we knew it, and preparations for the Christmas formal were being made. The cafeteria changed overnight into a fes- tive ballroom, and girls turned to angels in decorative formals while the boys looked on in wonder. This was our first senior high we had imagined. Our own class spirit and the time of our lives at the annual Soph Ball. As our sopho- make sure that each of our following years in high school To lead us to this victory, we elected our Junior Class and our sohopmare year as a whole, we feel that we have suc- ceeded in making the most of our new school, surroundings, and responsbilities. The best part of this is that we have had a great time while doing it. Row II: L. Bick, M. Aronson, G. Anderson, J. Bender, D. Avery, J. Angier, J. Bix, D. Benson, N. Berthe, M. Asker- man, C.

With this goal in mind, Blue Tri makes is possible for every member to experience companionship in a group and to develop self-confidence. The organization helps to promote the cooperation and friendliness of all the girls. During the spring previous to the 1956-57 school year, a work- shop was held at Lyman Lodge for the new cabinet. The obiect of the weekend was to get acquainted with the purposes and goals of Blue Tri. Suggestions and ideas for the coming year were discussed. This get-together gave the cabinet a chance to have a good time and to experience the actual feelings of Blue Tri. When the girls left Lyman, they were eager to start the new year. With the opening of school, came the membership drive. At this meeting, the new members were told about the goals and purposes of the club. A few weeks later the mothers were also given a chance to learn about the activity. Soon the chapter officers were off to spend a weekend at Lyman Lodge where they enioyed themselves and discussed their various responsibilities. Plans were made for the recognition service which was held in our new cafeteria. The seriousness and serenity of the candle- lighting ceremony left with both the old and new members a deep, vivid impression. Bob Nolte provided the group with some thought- filled words. With the bang of a shotgun and a cry of Let's get married! Park girls caught themselves a date and went to the Sadie Hawkins' Day Dance. Another big social event was the Barn Dance held at Eaton's Ranch. Chapter meetings were made interesting and informative by activities such as skating, swimming, speakers from different voca- tional areas, joint meetings with other Blue Tri or Hi-Y clubs, and by numerous service proiects. The outstanding all school meeting was a panel discussion on boy-girl relations. Ambition was the evident characteristic of the girls as they worked hard to sell over 1,000 iars of ielly which was more than any other school sold in the Minneapolis area. The International Fair held on March 12 called for a great deal of cooperation between the various Park chapters. Each group was held responsible for a separate phase of the booth on the country of England which was assigned to Park. English imports, tea, and crumpets provided a delightful atmosphere. Under the fine leadership of Barb Ziegenhagen, all school presi- dent, Jane Riebe, vice president, Sally Jones, secretary, Nancy Christiansen, treasurer, and Mary Ann Evans, l.C.C. representative, this year was a tremendous success for Blue Tri members because it helped them to gain knowledge, friends, and enioyment in a good Christian environment.

' 5.1- fgff 4. l 's du Q Create, maintain, and extend are the vows of a Hi-Y boy. With these vows in mind Hi-Y clubs of 1956-57 provided programs for many worthy causes. All school Hi-Y president, Jay Sargent, vice president, Gordy Simons, Secretary, Kent Nichols, and treasurer, Jim Stedman'. with Fred Hammel as chaplin, strived to promote activities which would bring together all Hi-Y members. A new plan to maintain a permanent cabinet for the coming year was adopted. This meant that there would not be the annual semester election as had been carried out in past years. In September, Hi-Y chapters got together for a discussion about the armed forces. Representatives from the Navy and R.O.T.C. spoke to the boys about the various aspects of service life. With October came the induction of new members. More than fifty boys entered Hi-Y in a service attended by parents to acquaint them with what goes on in the club. An all-school meeting was held in November with religion as the topic of the evening. The purpose of this program was to acquaint the boys with the different faiths and the various beliefs of today. They discussed such things as Life After Death and the ceremonies churches and synagogues have today. In February, came the Snow Day which meant skating, skiing, tobog- ganing, and dancing from early morning till far into the evening. For a while it looked as if there wouldn't be any snow, but on February 21 the countryside was completely covered with it. Students took off for a day of fun at Kingswood Lodge. The enthusiasm of the chapters was displayed by the various service proiects which they sponsored. Adelphi helped make many families happy with the annual canned food drive. Dux, besides filling their year with other money-raising proiects, launched the March of Dimes Drive. Fidelis and Iota, along with the other chapters, participated in the selling of Y's Men Christ- mas trees. Novi sponsored the annual Heart Fund Drive which was very successful, and Ortho took charge of the Easter Seal Drive. Supero used the Jiffy Car Wash to raise money for the Cerebal Palsy Drive during the year. The Rex Ramble and the Lumber Jack Dance sponsored by Adelphi were enioyed by all Park High students. As the year drew to a close, every Hi-Y boy looked with anticipation toward the May Banquet. A great deal of work had been accomplished, and close friends had been found. lt was with a feeling of sadness that seniors bid farewell to their years of Hi-Y activities. Underclassmen inter- mlngled with their sad farewells the satisfaction of knowing that next year would present even greater opportunities for growth and companionship. XX 2.

National Scholastic Press Association issues All-American ratings to outstanding high school papers in the United States. The only paper in Hennepin county to receive the TB rating, the Echo has won awards for ten consecutive years. ECHO CLINIC After attending a clinic sponsored by the Star and Tribune in the fall, the stat? conducted a training session for prospective journalists with future Echo personnel in mind. Margaret Morris, by-line reporter on the Minneapolis Star, was the principal speaker. Group sessions, to discuss different secions of the paper, were a main part of the clinic. MONEY-RAISING PROJECT Financial problems of putting out a paper were eased by money-raising proiects. Planning a dance after the first football game and selling adult tickets to Hamlet were responsibilities of the staff. Orange and black booster buttons increased school spirit, as well as the Echo treasury. CLASSES IN JOURNALISM Journalism classes, a new addition to the curriculum, provided reporters who knew the necessary points of gathering news and writing stories. Constructive criticism was made use of as staff mem- bers kept in mind ratings given by the Columbia Scholas- lic Press Association and National Scholastic Press Asso- ciaticn. 3 Second Page Editors J, 3 .sf Y ,ie ,. ... fe Editors Third Page Editors P.

The page heads planned a layout and selected mate- rial for stories. These stories, including editorials, fea- tures, news stories and sport stories were next assigned to reporters. When finished material was handed in, page editors held press nights. During this evening, stories were re- written and polished, and headlines were written. After checking and rechecking copy with Hazel Moffat, Echo adviser, pages were sent to the printers. Three proofs of each page were seen before the presses were locked. On these proofs, page heads cor- rected spelling and punctuation errors and cut or added to stories. Following the final check of the proofs, they were returned to the printers. After delivery to the school, the Echoes were put in the hands of eager Park students. Then the same routine began again. QUALITY COVERAGE Striving to maintain the good qualities of an all-school paper, the staff, under the direction of Co-Editors Carol Erickson and Susie Robbins and Managing Editor Judy Havstad, covered events of interest to Parkites, faculty, and the community. From a stockpile of resources came news about school activities, plays, assemblies, honors, and sports. Featuring holidays, dances, foreign students, and personalities added special interest to the paper. Editorials enlightened students on issues important to them and their participation in school events. Although expended energy was a part of meeting every deadline, staff members enioyed their experience and regretfully turned over their duties to next year's staff, with Mary Enestvedt and Dave Hildebrand as co- editors and Joan Bissel as managing editor. These stu- dents, with a year of experience on this year's staff coupled with the additional training acquired in their iournalism class, published two cub issues on May 8 and May 23 to learn exactly how to carry out their future responsibilities. cv Top row: D.

Will we ever get it done? These questions troubled our anxious co-editors Belva Pearson and Margie Blackburn as they scampered about getting information. Above these two muffled voices you could hear, Don't forget Echowan tonight. How many times did we hear that - as though we could forget those deadlines! Our spacious new Echowan room became a popular hangout for the staff, and also for our spying fellow classmates. We were proud of the secrets we kept. We'll never for- get the shouts of What! No padded cover? We fooled you, didn't we? Also, we were proud of our choice in colors as they were a change from anything used previously. Not having to look far for a theme was a help, for our beautiful new school provided the only, and perfect, choice. One of our hardest projects was finding sayings for all of the seniors. .We were about to iunk the whole idea, but knowing we'd be sorry, we deligently plowed forward and hoped that all would be pleased with what they read about themselves. We hope you have as much fun laughing over our expertly drawn character cartoons as we've had. If you think they're exaggerated, you should have seen what we cut out! ln February our big project was getting people to buy the best Echowan yet. Shouts of S3.50! Highway robbery! were heard. But honestly now, where else could you get a book so full of memories for only 5350? , As each deadline drew nearer, the cries of where's this and where's that grew louder. What we would have done without that miraculous gift to an Echowan staff - rubber cement glue - we'll never know. We were about to throw every typewriter in the place out our many windows whenever we'd hear4, this is misspelled, do it over. Even through our griping, we knew our adviser, Miss lsacson, was right, and so we'd calmly pick up our pages and type them over, and probably over and over again. We bet Jack Porter often wondered if he shouldn have been called our taxi-man instead of our pho- tographer. The many times we asked for rides home were too numerable to count. The Friday nights we stayed and worked until game time stand out in our memories. We had hot dogs and pop, a nourishing dinner. The, custodians must wonder what those empty pop bottles are doing in our closet. Then there was the time we looked out the door and behold, we noticed a visitor - the cutest gray kitten. We thought he'd make a nice mascot, so someone got a bright idea and locked him in the closet. From the noise we knew that would never do, so sadly we let him go. The year progressed faster than we thought possible, and our many cries of we won't be caught rushed at the last minute were in vain, for like many other staffs before us, we were rushed. Even though there were many times we'd swear we were quitting from lack of physical stamina, each member of the staff was sad as the last deadline was reached and all of our rushing was behind us. We also felt a tinge of pride when we saw our completed book. Wondering about your reactions, we weren't sure if we should stick around to find out. But, whatever happens - happy Echowan reading from your 1957 hardwork- ing staff. 76 X P,!,,.

Student Council The last meeting of the 1956-57 St. Louis Park High Student Council was called to order by our president, John Keating. We reviewed the success of our past year as the governing body of the students of St. Louis Park High. Susie Rob- bins served as treasurer while Ross Legrand acted as vice president, and Bruce Siewert took our minutes. We began our discussion by listing the various committees that have made school life around here run so smoothly. First of all, the Hall and Building Committee, headed by Buzz Johnson and John Biornstad, has' done a fine iob in keeping our corridors in order. Even though the school is so large and conditions have been improved so much, the members of this committee still had a great deal of work to do. ' The Lost and Found Committee, under the supervision of Vern Strand, helped students find lost articles easily by making his headquarters the check room at the front of the school. To Roy Peterson's Safety Committee go our thanks for keeping order at the sports events and also for patroling the parking area. When the members of the Student Council voted to have the Ethics Committee take over the detention classes, John Keating, the chairman, along with his members played another important role in the school. This program worked very smoothly, and it certainly was a relief to the teachers. The Welcoming Committee did exceptionally well in making new students feel at home in Park by working with them and helping them to get into activities. This committee, under the leadership of Jane Ann Riebe, did its best to promote a friendly atmosphere for the new students. Again, the profits received from the magazine sale were put into the Student Faculty Fund. Chuck Heinecke and Lois Youngren acted as co-chairmen of the group and worked industriously to secure the Hi Fi set which the students had long awaited. Kay Knudson's Public Relations Committee took on the new responsibility of doing the typing for the council, the receptionists, under the supervision of Belva Pearson, made sure that visitors found their way around our beau- tiful new school, and Jay Sargent, acting for the Flag Committee, looked into the purchase of flags for the building. 5 sg ' 'WC ig- c ,..,... , .....

We concluded from our discussion on the committees that they had all done an excellent iob in every respect and that they were a big factor in the success of our school life. The subject of our year's activities was then brought up. A discussion of Homecoming, Talent Show, and Participa- tion Week followed. It was evident that Nancy Zavodsky and Roger Plantikow worked hard to present the students with an exciting, festive Homecoming. Rather than renting the crown and robe this year, the council voted to buy them as a perma- nent addition to the school. The coronation of Sonia Steenson as reigning queen was spectacular in the new gym. The pep fest, parade, and dance was magnificent. Judy Pehle and John McHugh were chosen by the council to organize acts for the annual Talent Show. New York set the scene for an enioyable two evening run. Under the able leadership of Vaughn Walker and Chuck Heinecke, Participation Week achieved its purpose of acquainting the student body with the achievements they can make by actively participating in many phases of school life. The eventful week ended with an assembly devoted to talks by Kathy Starkey as Girls State delegate, and by Buzz Johnson, the United Nations Pilgrimage representative. The yellow iug was presented to the senior class making Buzz Johnson and Jane Ann Riebe our Parkticipation king and queen. We all agreed that these activities had been handled extremely well and that the school as a whole had made them everything we hoped them to be. Next, we listed other items which we felt were significant. We had revised our whole governing constitution, Canteen had been made a club, foreign exchange students were made permanent members of the council, the car wash had made a huge profit, and the state convention had been a success. As the end of the year was nearing, we, the members of the Student Council, knew we had fulfilled our pur- pose. We were ready to delegate the iob of carrying on the duties of the council to the 1957-58 officers and members. A motion to adiourn the meeting was made and seconded. With reluctance and with a certain amount of pride, we adiourned the meeting of our eventful year as members of the 'I956-57 St. Louis Park Student Council. Top row: R. Shank, J. Sargent, R.

Canteen Soft blue lights, the rustle of billowing formals, and the faint fragrance of flowers set the atmos- phere for Canteen's first formal Christmas Ball, December 22. Canteen members spent the entire day deco-rating. When finished, everything from the darkest corner of the cafeteria to the newly planted ever- green tree in the patio was bedeckd in gay Christmas trimmings. February found co-chairmen Luanne Waldock and Dick Olson and the Executive Board busily work- ing on plans for a dance to be held March 30. Many new problems were presented: what the name of the dance would be, since changing the date to avoid the height of the basketball season and tourna- ments forced abandonment of the traditional Anniversary Ball date and theme, the decoration of the huge new gym, the type of dress to be worn, the entertainment for the evening, and the pressing need for new and clever publicity. With all our problems behind us, Fantasia was presented to the Parkites 'midst glittering stardust, soft pastels, bright confetti and a multitude of balloons. A good time was had by all as they whirled gracefully to the music of the Blue Notes. Freshmen Welcomed was the main part of the invitation Canteen extended to the iunior high sev- eral weeks before the Tropical, May 18. The annual dance which featured calypso music and tropical island theme, gave the freshmen a chance to get acquainted with the upperclassmen. Highlighting the evening was the crowning of a freshman and a senior high Orchid Queen and the traditional Freshman Lei Dance. All too soon, Dick and Lu relinquished their positions to the newly announced 1957-58 co- chairmen. The Canteen Roundup helped close the year successfully for 150 Canteen Members. Everyone agreed that the year and its three big dances had been gay, exciting, and a lot of hard, but fun, work. B. Paske, Treas., C. Carlberg, Sec., B. Ziegenhagen, V. Pres., D. Olson, Pres. Glee Club With excitement and anticipation, we entered our new music room and eagerly began working on numbers for the dedication service of our new building. Strains from Beautiful Savior and Lord I Cry Unto Thee filled the gymnasium as our new building was dedicated to educating the youth of our com- munity. On November 'l3, our school proudly accepted several plaques from the nationally known Freedom Train. Taking part in the program, we sang the Star Spangled Banner and Battle Hymn of the- Re- public. Time marched on and as the Christmas season came upon us, we began planning our Christmas pro- gram. Expressing our spirit in the Nutcracker Suite by Tschaikovsky, and Song of Christmas, a Fred Waring arrangement, we gave an invitational concert over at the University of Minnesota. As Christ- mas finally arrived, we presented the same concert in the evening on December 19, for the public and for the student body the following day. Both of these programs were climaxed with two massed chorus selections from Handel's Messiah. Time for registration for next year came very soon, and it was decided that we should publicize the Glee Club more to the junior high. We all hiked over and gave a concert to the future senior high students. In addition to this, we gave follow-up concerts at Elliot, Fern Hill, and Brookside schools. We all agreed that we'd done nothing quite as hard in a long time as giving these three concerts all in one morning. A warm reception and beaming faces told us, however, that they were well worth the effort. On February 27, as has been traditionally favored, the Hopkins Glee Club came over to rehearse with us for the Lake District Festival. On March 25 and 26, the Lake District Festival was held at Hopkins High School. After a long practice session with the guest director, we presented Elijah along with the other schools in the Lake Conference. , Thinking in terms of spring, we began to plan for our annual spring trip and concert, Brainerd and Duluth became the destination for our adventure on April 30 and May l. South Pacific sang in our hearts as we gave our concert on May 24. Climaxing the year, the Glee Club sang at the Baccalaureate service for the graduating seniors. This was the last time the Glee Club sang together as a group. 81 -i' Fourth row: B. Torodor, L. Druskin, E. Husney, R. Klimmek, J. Schueler, N. Alderson, J. Pollock, B. Liebo, L. Flagg T. Vezina.

Senior Chorus Our Senior Chorus this year was made up of girls with a great interest in learning more about the techniques of music. Soon after the first days of school, we elected officers. Joan Bissel was chosen as president with Linda Johnson as vice-presiclent. Recording the minutes of each meeting was the iob of Mary Kay Bach while Abetta Savran was elected to take care of the debts and credits. Early in the fall, we began to work on the Christmas program. As the weeks went by, the pro- gram seemed to take on a touch of perfection. When the initial work was finished, our thoughts turned to our appearance. From the many suggestions of wearing apparel, we decided on white or black blazers which we frantically begged and borrowed from our friends or relatives. Hopes were fulfilled as we realized that the program was a success. One of our most enjoyable activities took place the Friday before Christmas vacation. We walked through the halls of the school singing favorite Christmas carols. Soon it was time for the posting of the list of girls who would be honored by a transfer into Park's renowned Glee Club next year. After breathlessly waiting with a great deal of anticipation, we learned the results. A few were disappointed, but many were overioyed. The Lake District Music Festival took place in March, and we spent weeks preparing for it. On March 26, our Senior Chorus and the Glee Club met with glee clubs from all of the Lake Conference schools to present Eliiah. As one combined chorus, the music was extremely impressive. Certainly, this will long be remembered by all of us. With the arrival of balmy spring breezes, we began to prepare gay and lively' songs for our annual Spring Concert. With mixed emotions of ioy and tears, we viewed our final presentations. Having worked industriously to make this last performance a memorable one, our efforts were rewarded with a truly magnificent program. 84 D. Griffin, Pres., C. Erickson, Treas., J. Pehle, Sec., B. Erickson, V. Pres. Band Another year has passed for the senior band. A new room with special features to enhance our performance and catch flaws before concerts enabled us to play numbers better than ever before. Football season once more found our band on hand to entertain at half-time. Aided by our twirlers, Nancy Christ- iansen, Betsy Blegen, Gail Johnson, and Barb O'Neil, we marched through some snappy routines. The best-remembered one took place on Homecoming night. In honor of our queen, Sonia, a band member herself, we formed a heart and serenaded her as she traversed the oval. Increased size of the band made it necessary to alternate between Pep Band I and Pep Band Il at home basketball games. Tournament time found us at Williams Arena tooting and yelling our team on to victory. Because of the annual lack of sufficient funds to finance our spring tour, we turned to the selling of Christmas cards. Each person was responsible for selling at least ten boxes of cards and more if possible. Orders came in, boxes were delivered, and enough money was collected to cover future expenses. Our spring tour was changed somewhat this year from last. Rather than spend money on hotel bills, we made an arrangement with the Owatonna band whereby they would play a concert here, stay in our homes, and we would do the same. In addition to a concert in Owatonna, we played before the Rochester High School students and then returned home after two never to be forgotten, fun-filled days. April rolled around bringing with it the District and State contests. About forty of our members participated and many returned with honors bestowed upon them for their playing ability. Our band performed as its ever matchless self in the numerous concerts which were presented at school. The last and by far the best was our annual Spring Concert on May 'l0th. Under the direction of Mr. Bohn with additional help from officers Dick Griffin, president, Bob Erickson, vice president, Judy Pehle, secretary, and Carol Erickson, treasurer, our year came to a triumphant finish with memories of past performances fondly tucked away. 5 8 '.Mshw-'.. .-.'N '-MM..

Red Cross inspired to help those less fortunate than ourselves, the Red Cross members began working on their first project of the year - filling six school chests for needy foreign classrooms. Two chests were com- pleted by each class. The club was grateful to the shop classes for constructing these wooden chests and to the Brush and Palette Club for their diligent work in decorating the interior with scenes depicting the life in our school and our community. Each homeroom was assigned their share of items to fill the six chests. Balls, pencils, towels, tablets, toothbrushes and many other items an average classroom could use were put into the chests. We were thankful for the enthusiastic' response that was shown by the whole school in this year's undertaking. With the able assistance and guidance of our teacher sponsor, Miss Engan, and the leadership of our officers: Judy Havstad, president, Henry Chazankin, vice president, Donna Syverson, secretary, and JoAnne Anderson, treasurer, we held the March drive from 'l'l to 15. Funds gained from this drive go mainly to the Junior Red Cross fund to be allocated to those in need of money because of fire, flood, hurricane, and earthquakes. Some of the money also helps needy students in our school in the way of providing glasses, dental work, and health checkups. Other projects of the year included work on the correspondence album and varied homeroom projects conducted in the interest of crippled or underprivileged children and the aged. 88 ?.J Top row: E.

Palette Striving for greater membership and participation, Brush and Palette began the year's activity with a picnic near Christmas Lake. The following meetings were devoted to work on Christmas cards, the an- nual project. Three designs were finally perfected and much time and effort was spent printing and selling the cards. December's first meeting found members in the Christmas spirit creating their own tree decorations for display in the show case. Trips to sculpture exhibits at Walker Art Center and a guided tour of the Minneapolis Art Institute increased members' appreciation of art, while a meeting of work with various art media under expert super- vision gave members a chance to dabble with new materials.

Audio-Visual Audio Visual is undoubtedly one of the busiest organizations in our school for these students keep the proiectors, tape recorders, and phonographs in good condition. They help to arrange the movies and film strips in their proper order so that when students or teachers come to pick them up, there is no fuss or bother. Checking and mending must be done on any breaks in the films before they are returned to the rental agency. With the ever growing visual aid approach, the members who volunteer their time and efforts for the benefit of students and teachers by helping in this capacity are giving a most valuable service to their school. Camera Club Camera Club members will remember the i956-57 school year as a busy and interesting one. At each of our meetings there was a discussion on and a demonstration of some phase of photography. First, we learned what makes up a good picture and how to plan it before hand so that we would have more than just a snapshot. Soon afterwards, we learned how to develop and print our pictures. By the time we got around to discussing the basic camera, most of us were working in our wonderful new darkroom. We finished the year with meetings featuring information about photoflood lighting, enlarg- ing, fiash photography, color slides, and special effects. Top row: B. Christiansen, G. Cardinal, T.

The set is put in order, and the stage crew is making last minute corrections in the lighting. Then it's time. The hours of work and practice are forgotten, and one is concerned only with the present. Gone are the memories of the time put into building the set and arranging the lighting properly. The house lights dim, the curtain opens, the play begins. At the beginning everyone is tense, but as time passes, things begin to relax. All goes well as the actors skillfully go through the play. Just as skillfully, the boys up in the lighting control booth make the lights grow brighter or dimmer as needed. Even after the final curtain, there is work to do. The set is taken down, the stage is swept clean, and all equip- ment is put away. The lights are taken down, and the new dimmer board is locked up for the night. Here's to the stage crew for a Iob well donel o Library Club The Library Club is made up of students who are deeply interested in knowing more about the functions of the library. The members work a minimum of two periods a week in the library to give the students good service. Besides working behind the desk, they prepare new books for circulation, file cards in the card catalogue, replace books on the shelves, work as pages to look up magazines, and plan interesting displays for the showcases in the hall. While these students gain a great deal of knowledge from their work, they also prove to be a big help to the librarians and an important asset to the school. it .Q wi' 'L is A Top row: T.

At present, there are 48 mem- bers meeting every other Tuesday after school and partaking in activities. Martin Polterock is president of the organ- ization,hSis Youngblood is vice president, Terry Millar is secretary, and Wendy Millen is treasurer. Miss Margaret Ring, a Frenc and Spanish teacher, is the club's adviser. Various activities provided this organization with an eventful year. The first meeting was a ioint party with the Spanish Club. French music provided entertainment for another program. Wendy Millen, our foreign exchange student from England, spoke at one of our meetings about the customs and manners of the people of France. A French pot-luck dinner also proved to be loads of fun. It is evident that the first year was a grand success. EI Espanol' Eighty students headed by Kent Nichols made up the newly organized Spanish Club. This organization's meetings have consisted of varied activities of interest along with the usual business. A party on January 3, proved to be quite a surprise for the club's adviser, Mrs. Elstad, because she was the feature of a This ls Your Life program. At different times, the students also listened to records in Spanish and played the game of scrabble in the foreign language. A banquet brought this first and lively year to a delightful close.

' Latin Club Looking forward to a bigger, better year in the new senior high, the Latin Club elected officers for 'I956-57 at a gala picnic in the spring of '56, Soon after school started, we met and decided to hold meetings every other Tuesday. Members took turns speaking to the club on subiects pertaining to Rome, ancient and modern. Throughout the year, our officers met with Richfield, Edina, and Washburn Latin Clubs, and we extended invi- tations to their officers. in the spring, we sponsored a banquet to which iunior high students were invited. Roman food and costumes lended an exciting atmosphere, creating a great deal of interest at this final event of the year. Chess Club The Chess Club, under the guidance of Mr. Loegering, has completed a very successful and worthwhile year. The beginners have received instructions, while the advanced chess players have worked at perfecting their game. A chess league was formed including North, Hopkins, De La Salle, Bloomington, and St. Louis Park High Schools. We gained valuable experience and had a great deal of fun at our various matches. We have also had a tourna- ment among Park players. Bob Wernick proved to be the champion chess player. Our business meetings were marked with informality.

Chemistry Club Every Monday afternoon anyone who passed the chemistry room could see a group of eager young scientists performing experiments and discussing topics of scientific interest. The club, composed of students who are inter- ested in furthering their knowledge of chemistry, completed many fine proiects for the Science Fair. Food analyses, a hydrogen demonstration, and other interesting experiments and discussions were on the program. The business meet- ings were conducted by Clay Christensen, presidentp Tom Martin, vice president: John Pollock, secretary: and Robert LaPerriere, treasurer. Under the guidance of Mrs. Johnson, the Chemistry Club completed a successful year as it provided activity beyond the classroom. Physics Club The Physics Club meetings have consisted of a business meeting followed by a discussion or demonstration. En- tertainment and knowledge were gained this year by many interesting programs and excursions. We have had demon- strations and talks on hi-fi, model airplanes, cosmology, the hydromatic transmission and many more interesting topics. We also took a field trip to study the manufacture of ice and toured through the stage and saw its light- ing. Working on our physics proiects occupied many of our meetings. With the help of Mr. Lokensgard, adviser and instructorp Clay Christensen, president, Arlon Hunt, vice president: Carol Guderian, secretary: and Nancy Witstine, treasurer, we gained excellent experience as we developed our scientific interests.

Resolved: That the federal government should sustain maior agricultural products at not less than 90010 parity ' was the question that was discussed by the debate team this year. The varsity squad consisted of: Henry Chazankih, Jim Robertson, Robert Wernick, Elaine Karol, and Don Chenoweth. This year's activities included debates at the following colleges: Gustavus, Carleton, Augsburg, Macalester, and also a debate ot Cambridge High School. Park with five wins and one loss, placed second in the regional debate tournament, thus qualifying for the state tournament. The state meet was held at Macalester, where Park tied for sixth place with four wins and two losses. Throughout the year exceptional debate ratings were presented to Henry Chazankin and Jim Robertson. Debate coach, George Olson, 'l2th grade social problems instructor, is eagerly looking forward to next year when most of the debate team will return. Declamation Students were selected from the speech and dramatic arts classes to participate in declamation. This group put in many hours of hard work to prepare and perfect their speech presentations. The Parkites' efforts were greatly rewarded at the District 'l8 contest which was held March 'I3 at Edina High School. Eight superior ratings were won which means these students ventured on to the regional contest at Buffalo High School on March 27. Outstanding ratings were given to Sharon Schein and Wendy Millen for their dramatic readings, Marty Pol- terock for his original oratory, Marcia Kendall for her memorized oratory,. Harold Korsh 'For his pantomime, and Sharry Bigalke for her manuscript readings. The contest one-act play, Cavalleria Rusticana, was also honored by a superior award. Gail Gaiser, Ellen Fitzgerald, Phyllis Schertzer, Elaine Karol, Don Chenoweth, Henry Chazankin, and Pam Miethe were the other contestants in the District 18 meet. This year's declamation participants did a fine iob of representing the student body of St. Louis Park High. i . Top row: W. Millen, S. Schein, H. Korsh, D. Chenoweth, J. Sargent, B. Dean, D.

This was the cry of co-chairmen Judy Pehle and John McHugh as they searched for acts to be pre- sented in Park's annual variety show on May 'l6th and l7th. Plans for the performance began to take form last fall and progressed throughout the school year for the committee wanted the 1957 show to be the greatest ever. New York City was to be the setting for the play and Marty Fowler prepared set designs which de- picted favorite places such as Broadway and Central Park. Radio City Music Hall became the background for the number featuring twelve senior girls known as the Rockettes. These girls worked hard and long to perfect their numerous routines which were used to open and close the show. Their costumes consisting of black shorts and black blouses accented by white cummerbunds were very striking, and their platinum blo-nd hair provided the- glamorous touch. Two clever twirlers provided unusual entertainment as they displayed their expertly-timed acts using lighted batons to add to their art. Music highlighted the show - music in many forms. There were musical pantomimes, colorful vocal- ists, and peppy combos providing interesting variety. The Four Lasses, well-known performers at Park, gave that special touch for which they are famous. Wendy Millen, our exchange student from England, entertained with a group of old familiar Scottish, Welsh, and English folk songs entwined with a story. Park's recognized Parkettes added something new by changing to tap routines, dancing to that ever popular Alexander's Ragtime Band. Attired in black leotards trimmed in pink sequins and black net, they added a very colorful touch to the evening's entertainment. A combo' with its accent on jazz had the audience tapping their feet in time with the beat, calling for more. A special feature on the second night was the Stardusters, an instrumental group who teamed with two dancing pairs to exhibit the cha-cha and the iitterbug. Following the final performance on May 'l7th, a dance was held in the cafeteria at which time this group again featured their rhythm for all dancers to enjoy. Our new stage, equipped with the latest in lighting facilities, provided an opportunity to play some color tricks which served as an added attraction. A great round of applause rang forth to the very busy co-chairmen and their obliging adviser, Mr. Griebenow, who made possible this successful talent show. The proceeds replenish the Student Council treasury each year making it possible to defray the expenses of our officers to both the state and na- tional conventions of student councils. 96 .3 xl ea.

'Arms and the Man' Arms and the Man, a three act comedy written by George Bernard Shaw, was presented Decem- ber l0th and 'llth under the direction of Lyle Gerard. One reason for choosing this drama was that the hundredth anniversary of Shaw's birth is being commemorated this year. The setting of the play was 1885 in a small Bulgarian town where a Swiss soldier, fleeing after de- feat, took refuge in the chambers of a young Bulgarian lady's bedroom, the enemy. Shaw's brilliant wit makes fun of such varied topics as: pretentions of culture, servant-master relations, military glory, and war. Jay Sargent, playing Sergis, Bulgarian hero and suitor ofthe girl who saved the Swiss officer, pre- sented an accurate and dramatic portrayal of a dashing, haughty soldier given to noble statements and heroic poses. The part of Bluntschi, the Swiss chocolate soldier, a realistic, unromantic, slightly sarcastic wan- derer, was played with a deft touch by Dave Vickerman. Members of the Petkoff family, who thought themselves far superior to any other in Bulgaria were portrayed by Janet Lien, as Raina, Pat Krueger, as her mother, and Wally Krake, as Major PetkoFF. Two servants, Louka, Gail Gaiser, and Nicola, Dick Hartmann, added an extra touch of humor and romance. Ellen Fitzgerald acted as student director of the production. 97 Top row: M. Swenberger, M.

This unusual play was produced by Mr. Jack Alwin in a method new to Park. For two weeks, the cast familiarized themselves with the play, and then did not rehearse for one week while memorizing lines. Then, with only two weeks until production night, they rehearsed steadily. Conventional ways of doing things seem to have little charm for the author, and this is evident in Our Town. This originality is seen when the stage manager, portrayed by Kent Nichols, is moved out before the audience and made a performer in the drama, he becomes an on-stage director who can shift time back and forth as easily as he shifts the scene with a wave of his hand and a couple of sentences. The background of this production consists of bare stage walls, and only a few simple obiects are used as properties. The plot revolves around a young boy and girl, Emily and George, and their families. Emily's family, the Webbs were portrayed by Gail Johnson, as Mrs. Webb, Dave Hildebrand as Mr. Webb, and Mike Swenberger as Emily's brother, Wally. George's family consisted of Carol Erickson as Mrs. Gibbs, Marty Polterock as Dr. Gibbs, and Careen Carlberg as Rebecca, George's younger sister. The large number of incidental characters afforded an opportunity for stage experience for more students. One of the more memorable lines was did you sleep well, dear? as Juniors toiled and were rewarded by a production well done. l Top row: R. Aksteter, T. McNellis, M. Brown, R. Selander, M. Gepner.

The comedy, under the direction of Roger DeClercq and student director Bev Rein, concerned Rev. William Spence, played by Mike Brown, and his family following their move to the small town. When the Spence family arrived in Laketon, a run-down parsonage and a congregation that was anything but unified provided a rather dismal welcome. With the aid of several of the town's young people, Rev. Spence, his wife, Hope, Margie Blackburn, and their daughter and son, Eileen and Hartzell, Sharry Bigalke and Mike Gepner, worked to eliminate prejudices of the church members. Chief obstacles in their path were provided by Mrs. Sandow, Vaughn Walker, and Maior Cooper, Ron Selander. Both were narrow-minded and preiudiced and Mrs. Sandow controlled the church's purse strings. Hartzell and Eileen's friendship with Maria, Andrea Kirschbaum, a-Mexican girl, resulted in Mrs. San- dow's leaving the church. Charges of heresy were brought against Rev. Spence when he defended his children. The climax was reached when Bishop Sherwood, played by Mike Edwins, came to the Spence home to hear both sides of the issue. The Bishop acquitted the pastor of the charges after hearing the case, so to speak. With the Maior's help, a new church and parsonage were built. The day of the dedication found Mrs. Sandow repenting her mistakes and making friends with Maria. Top row: D. Dahl, D. Stall, D. Chenoweth, R. Selander, N. Dahlen, K. Nichols, M. Polterock, J.

Hamlet In April came the presentation of the Shakespearean tragedy entitled Hamlet, produced under the direction of Roger DeClercq, speech and dramatic arts teacher and student directors, Judy Kommerstad and Connie Glander. This climaxed the theatrical activities of St. Louis Park High School for this year. Many months of preparation went into this production with casting beginning in December. The noise of sew- ing machines and the buzz of saws were heard shortly after the first of the year as the designers began their assignments. Letters publicizing the play were sent to all city and suburban high schools, to the University of Minnesota, and to surrounding colleges. Letters were also sent to dignitaries of both the state and the nation, and to Sir Lawrence Olivier and Jean Simmons. The tragedy tells the story of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, played by Dick Griffin. In the play, return- ing home for King Hamlet's funeral, Prince Hamlet finds his mother Gertrude, Sharon Schein, remarried and her new husband, the late King's brother Claudius, Mike Brown, on the throne. Informed by his father's ghost that the death was not natural, but murder by Claudius, Hamlet plans retribution. He devises a trick, through the uselof visiting players or actors, by which he may catch the conscience of the King. The King's councillor Polonius, Fred Hammel, thinks Hamlet is mad for love of his daughter Ophelia, played by Sharry Bigalke, whom he and Claudius try to use as a decoy to discover Hamlet's thoughts. Claudius' guilt is revealed through the player's acting, and Hamlet wrings his mother's heart with his reproaches, until, hearing a noise behind the arras, he stabs through it and kills the listening Polonius. Ophelia, broken by the strain, goes mad, and drowns herself. Polonius' son Laertes,Jay Sargent, returns to avenge these deaths. Claudius turns Laertes against Hamlet, and gets Laertes and Hamlet to engage in a duel. Laertes has a poison-tipped sword. For double assurance, Claudius prepares a poisoned drink for the Prince. As a consequence, the Queen, Laertes, the King, and Hamlet, die. l I i Top row: T. Stone, D. Dahl, W. Krueger, H. Owens. Bottom row: N. Lies, R. Carlson, Mr. DeClercq, K. Brigham, C. Glander. Ethel and Albert' The Ethel and Albert One Acts consisted of three scripts that appeared on the Ethel and Albert series. These three scripts were: Dutch Treat, Fool's Paradise, and The lncome Tax. The actors and actresses presented these one acts out of interest in dramatics. They were given in the dramatic arts room in the evening to interested friends and parents of the cast members. The main purpose of these presen- tations was to give more opportunity for acting to those people of the dramatic arts and speech classes who were interested in the field. The presenting of these acts was postponed from the original date to a later part of April. All those included thought the experience worthwhile and rewarding. This annual presentation of one acts is just another example of the opportunities open to the students of Park that are active in the field of dramatics. Contest One Act Play H ln the District Speech Contest on March 13, Park presented a one-act Sicilian melodrama, entitled Cavalleria Rusticana by Giovanni Verga, winning a superior rating. The title meaning rustic chivalry suggests a rugged and tumultuous play. A young Sicilian soldier, Turiddu Macca, played by James Kiewel, becomes deeply involved with a young girl named Santuzza, portrayed by Madeline Hocking. Soon after he falls in love with Lola, Sharon Schein, the beautiful wife of Alfio di Licodiano, Henry Chazankin, a traveling merchant Alfio discovering the affair .between his wife and Turiddu, challenges him to a duel as was the custom of the time. Turridu dies, leaving his first love Santuzza in the care of his mother. i On March 27, this one act received an alternate superior rating, losing to Litchfield which became the region entry in the state one-act play contest.

Pep Club We're from Park High, mighty, mighty, Park High. That's the beginning of one of Pep Club's newest cheers. This year has been an active year for all Pep Club members. They've changed their appearance and their actions. The year was off to a grand start with the purchasing of sweaters to be worn on game days. These sweaters replaced the traditional jackets and gave Pep Club a brighter look. Home games took on a new slant, and what a slant, with the card section. You've seen the cards the University Pep Club has. Well, that's what ours are like. The girls hold cards and spell out Hi and letters such as P which stands for Park, and letters representing all of the other Lake Conference schools. Pep Club sponsored the Frosty Frolic which turned out to be fun for all. Toward the middle of the year, they were invited to attend a pot-luck at Richfield given by their Pep Club. This was really a pleasure for it showed the friendship of the schools in the conference even though there was rough competition going on among them. Pep Club cheered our team on to many victories this year. Top row: M. Miller, G. Nelson, S. Weinard, M. Weiss, J. Copeland, P. Penniman, E. Johnson, M. Jorgensen, B Sewell, J. Paulson, K. Whelan.

Through its handling of concessions at football and basketball games, the Lettermen's Club has again contributed to the athletic fund. Supplementing the iniury costs of the athletes is the main function of the fund. ln addition, some of the money goes tolwarcl the purchase of uniforms for many of the teams. Assisting Bob Shank, president, are Vern Strand, ice president, Bob Jas, secretary, and Jim Kum- pula, treasurer. This spring, the St. Louis Park Lion's Club gave its annual banquet for lettermen, their parents, and their coaches. As a result of a vote of the Student Council, the club was allowed to retain its privilege of selling concessions during the fall and winter with the profits replenishing the club's treasury.

Members took advantage ot the magnificent new pool every Wednes- day after school when Miss Ost and Elaine Smedberg supervised the activity. Summer sports were headed by' Carole Warta, basketball was under the leadership of Babe Peterson, and volleyball was put into the hands of Gail Hanson. Activities other than sports events included money raising proiects, such as the sale of beanies, and the sponsor- ing of a dance called the Football. The girls also worked industriously to give their full support to Santa Anony- mous. December 21 was the date of the big play day held at Park. Twenty students from tour other schools in the Lake Conference assembled here for a day of competition and tun. On another important date, March 2, two basket- ball teams, the Redhots and the Zombies, played at the University of Minnesota. Honors were presented to the deserving girls at a bowling championship dinner held on March 28. For each activity the members took part in, they receive a certain number of points. Through this system, they can earn letters. The members of G. A. A. spent many enioyable and worthwhile hours participating in sports this year. The future of this organization looks bright since the new school has so much to offer interested students. Top row: J. Citrowske, L. Carlson, K. Rudquist, S. Blair, M. Atwood, S. Millar, R.

Girls' Swimming The girls have long been in need of additional athletic activities, and Park's new swimming pool pro- vided numerous new and exciting opportunities. Some girls could learn to swim, some could learn to dive, some could work at perfection of their already acquired talents. First-aid and life-saving instruction were also given to any who were interested. Before long, knowing such essentials might well become a re- quirement for all of the students. For those who were already accomplished swimmers, Miss Ost, the girls' swimming instructor, offered synchronized swimming techniques. Early in November these girls, known as the Surf Belles, began conscientious practice, meeting every Thursday night. Later, they supplemented this with a Saturday afternoon practice because they were to become an intermission attraction at the boys' competitive swim- ming meets. Their favorite routines, Palsey Walsey and An Ole Cowhand received much applause each time the girls performed. Perfecting their dolphins, marlin turns, surface dives, and other complex and rigorous routines by many hours of practice, these girls felt well rewarded when they presented their successful Water Show in May. ln addition to synchronized swimming, Miss Ost directed a group of girls who organized a speed swimming team. They practiced on Tuesday evenings, conditioning themselves by swimming thirty laps and by doing other difficult exercises. Although totally inexperienced, these girls entered a Y.W.C.A. Invitational Meet in October, coming through with two silver medals. Park lost to Southwest 60-48, but in the next meet defeated University High by 48-40. Miss Ost and her underclassmen are looking forward to a wonderful future in swimming activities because the girls' enthusiasm coupled with the experience acquired this past year will begin to reap rewards. 106 i Top row: K.

Parkettes The newly formed group, headed by Mrs. Libby, busily chose costumes and started in working on their routines, Hi to Park High, l'm an Old Cowhand, and their favorite The Bop. They helped keep up the spirit of all by performing at games and also at the Parkticipation Week program. Perform- ing at the district and regional games, they represented the student body in the backing of our great basketball team. Parkettes will continue as a part of Park High, adding spirit as well as representing their school. - B Cheerleaders Cheering the basketball B squad on to victory was the assignment of cheerleaders Karen Aarness, Diane Burger, Mary Ann Evans, Judy Row, Margie Skeie, and Mary Youngblood. The cheerleaders attended all B squad games, at home and away, and served as directors of en- thusiasm and spirit. They made Parkites aware of the stars of next year and created an interest in the record compiled by the future bucketeers. New school! New chorus line! D. Burger, M. Youngblood, M. Evans, K.

Basketball Tennis Coaches , Park believes in expanding the athletic program so as to give more boys the opportunities to participate in both inter-school and intra-mural sports. To provide these opportunities there is a very capable staff of well qualified coaches giving unselfishly of their time and energy from early fall into late spring. Mastery of the individual sports is a goal of every coach. However, equally important is the constant stress on the teaching of fine teamwork, sportsmanship, excellent character, and steady achievement. ' Before the opening of school, Coach Hoberg and Assist- ant Coach Bohmbach were hard at work, putting the A squad football boys through many difficult practice drills to have the team in condition for the first game. Immedi- ately after the beginning of the school year, Coaches Ror- man and Zanna began their work of teaching the Sopho- more football squad. Coaches Griiak and Torp were out on the cinder path supervising the Cross Country track team. Coach Holm and Assistant Coach Thompson were, by early fall, mapping the plays for a winning basketball season. Win they did, as Pa-rk went undefeated through the Lake Conference, Sub-district, and District competition. Mid-winter found Coaches Zanna and Langen putting in long hours of practice with the A and B hockey squads in addition to battling elements and keeping the rink in condition. Swimming became an added new attraction at Park this year with the opening of our senior high school swim- ming pool. Coach Wainio found tremendous enthusiasm among both participants and the fans. He felt very en- couraged by the progress made and the achievements attained by the boys. Q With spring came more activity for track enthusiasts as Coaches Griiak and Torp put the cindermen to work at improving their records in the various field and running events. Mid March, Coach Sundberg called his golf squad to- gether so as to get an early start in. a sport which often is handicapped by unfavorable weather. Coach Winter, by now, was eagerly anticipating the opening of the baseball season, hoping that the weather- man would offer only the best in the line of weather, enabling the team to complete the schedule by the end of the year. This year, Park added an equipment manager to the staff in the person of Mr. Little, whose work relieved the coaches of hours of work involved in the issuing of equip- ment. Through the combined efforts of this competent staff, Park chalked up a year of successful athletic activity for those who played and those who watched.

First on the agenda for the Orioles was a week at Bemidji State Teachers College. There, they tough- ened themselves for the coming season, while having some fun and relaxation. They also scrimmaged with Bemidji and Detroit Lakes High Schools. With twelve returning lettermen, and a series of new plays from the single wing, Park began its season by defeating both St. Paul Cretin and Wayzata, 7-0. Mound fell to the Orioles 14-0. Spearheading the long Park drives in that game was Dick Griffin, whose yardage totaled 150. Next Park edged Hopkins 20-14. After recovering a Hopkin's fumble on the enemy's 38-yard line, Park marched with 11 plays to the first touchdown in the game made by Jim Anhorn. The previously undefeated Orioles fell on their home field to Robbinsdale 20-0, which dampened homecoming spirits. Park outscored Minnetonka 15-14. Dick Griffin, halfback, ran 64 yards for Park's first touchdown and also scored the second. Edina upset Park 12-0, though the invaders gained 114 yards compared with Park's 176. The senior gridders: Chuck Adams, Jim Anhorn, John Biornstad, Jay Christiansen, Jim Cotten, Dick Dahlen, Dick GriFfin, John Hiner, Roy Jacobson, Jim Mazzie, Gary Merfield, Tom Scallon, Bob Williams, Tom Wright, and Tom Youngblood, bowed out in glory by capturing second place in the Lake Conference, with a 14-12 victory over Richfield. A 17 yard pass from Don Brose to Tom Wright clicked for the first Oriole touchdown, while Griffin smashed the second touchdown. Visions of next year's football team were seen as the underclassmen traveled to South St. Paul and clung in a 12-12 deadlock.

B Squad Hockey Under the coaching of Mr. Langen, the B squad boys, consisting of senior high second stringers and a scrappy group of iunior high enthusiasts, put in long hours of rugged practice to condition them for a stiff schedule which lay ahead. A scrappy team they were as they battled their way to a record of nine wins and two losses. Victory was indeed the cry as the first seven games ended in Park's favor. Richfield, a new Lake Conference competitor, proved powerful enough to hand Park a 2 to 1 defeat. The call of victory again came forth as Park succeeded in defeating both Hopkins and Edina. Park scored a total of 50 points to their opponents 15, and their string of victories assured them a first place conference tie with Minnetonka. With such an encouraging record and a determination to win, these boys should make for a tremen- dous 1958 hockey season.

Junior Art Patterson, made a new record for the Nokomis course when he whipped through it in 9.16.1. Lazorik was 2nd, Oas, 3rd, Berg, 4th, Quade, 9th, Patterson, 14th, and Rutledge, 22nd. Thrilling the students, the team drew on all of their resources and captured the Region V title on October 18th. Bob Oas, junior, finished 1st for the Orioles and 3rd in the meet. Following close behind him were Rody Lazorik, 4th, Dave Quade, 7th, Art Patterson, 10th, and Charles Berg, 14th. By now, interest, hopes, and anticipation had been cultivated in the students and they were all out to see the team come in 3rd in the state. Only Duluth Central and West High placed before them. Berg tinished the season with a point average of 5.0, Kumpula, 22.5, Lazorik, 6.0, Oas, 4.6, Patterson, 5.1, and Quade, 13.2. Coaches Roy Griiak and Bill Torp said that the prospects for next yeor's squad are excellent. Senior Dave Quade, and sophomore Charles Berg, are the only Park harriers ofthe seven that are not returning. Striving to fill vacancies will be a number of young runners. Among these are freshmen Mike Gorsin, sopho- mores Joe Patterson, Steve Quade, and Fred Underhill, and iuniors Bob Possehl, and Denny Raymond. Graduating team members are Dick Hartert, Chuck Heinecke, Harold Hofstrand, Dave Quade, Lee Rasmussen, and Karlo Waataia. Managers were Marv Shedlov and Fred Hammel. The eFForts of these boys and their able coaches have again brought high honors to Park High. D. Quade, R. Lazorik, J. Kumpula,,C. Berg, A. Patterson, B. Oas, T. Rutledge. 130 1 Top row: F.

Track The track team under Coaches Griiak and Krueger began the season on April 6 and continued straight through June 5. Of the 58 boys who came out for spring track, fifty-two remained in competition until the end of the season. ln all, the boys took part in 12 track meets - local, district, and state. Miler, Charles Berg, quarter-miler, Jim Kumpula, and half-miler, Art Patterson are tops among track prospects of the state. With their help, Park won the State Indoor Track Meet against a field of 35 teams. Also, we placed a strong second place in the Region V Track and Field Meet. Six entries continued into the State Outdoor but failed to place. The 1957 season should be terrific as most of the competitors are underclassmen. 1956 TRACK SEASON Participating Meet Park's Rank Teams State Indoor ....... - ........... --- -- l 35 Park, Edina, Richfield ..,.....,.... l 3 Park, Robbinsdale --. ..... - ...... 2 2 Carleton Relays ......... - ...... 4 21 Edina Invitational ..... 2 4 Mound Relays ............,.........a.-.. -..........-- 2 12 Faribault Relays ,,..... - .... - ....... - .... -- 4 43 Conference Meet .... 2 3 District 18 ...................... 3 12 Region V ,..... - ........ 2 23 131 Top row: J.

Glor- vigen. A Swimming Not to be outdone by other new schools is Park who not only has a swimming pool, but a top flight team to provide stiff competition for the opposition as well. Park's team proved itself to be one loaded with potential. Hard workouts at the beginning of the season conditioned the boys to the rigors of swimming meets and improved their strokes. For having just this year's experience, these boys progressed sufficiently to capture many important meets. Captained by Jim Stedman, the team, whose members number thirty-four, got off to a splashing start. Of these thirty- four, eighteen ended the season as letter winners and high scorers in the crawl, backstroke, and butterfiy. Not to be forgotten, either, are o-ur divers whose skill on the board led many a watchful audience to wondering Oh's and Ah's. lt was quite a profitable season for an inexperienced team in everyone's eyes.

Baseball The 1956 Park baseball team started the year with six returning lettermen, a decided lack of expe- rienced pitchers, but with a great deal of spirit. Newcomers, John Duck and Vern Jarosak, led the mound staff and did at creditable iob. The starting lineup consisted of Loren Thompson, Bob Sorenson, John Duck, Tom MacDonald, Dennie Carlson, Dave Haight, James Batten, Don Brose, and Tim Fitzgerald. Loren Thomp- son achieved all-conference honors, and Tom MacDonald made the second all-conference team. The team record for the year was six wins and nine losses in fifteen games. A conference record of three wins and four losses was good for fourth place. Leading hitters were Loren Thompson, .431, Tim Fitzgerald, .324, and James Batten, .304. John Duck led the pitching staff with five wins and four losses. The prospects for 1957 appeared brighter with eight returning lettermen and a few promising play- ers from the B Squad.

Golf Park's golfers under the coaching of Mr. Sundberg had a very creditable season in conference, dis- trict, and regional play. The team totaled 8 wins in meets with Bloomington, Edina, Hopkins, Mound, Wayzata, and De La Salle, and three losses in meets with Robbinsdale and Stillwater. The Park four-man team won the District 18 Play-offs with a total of 316 points to Edina's second place with a total of 331 points. In individual play, Park took two top positions and tied for a third with Bob Reith's score of 77, Walter Johnson's 78, and Roger Gilles' 79. ln the Regional Tournament, Park with a three-man team won first place honors with a total of 244 strokes. Medalist honors for a second place went to Roger Gilles and third place to Bob Reith. Gilles and Reith advanced into the State Meet finishing 9th and 27th respectively. Letter winners in golf in addition to senior Roger Gilles were three sophomores, Dick Anderson, Elliot Husney, and Bob Reith, and two juniors, Billy Burkhardt, and Walter Johnson. Prospects for the 1957 golf season are indeed promising with such a large number of returning lettermen around which to build. 135 Top row: Mr. Thompson, D. Jacobson, L. Flagg, J. Elsness, R. Mavis, S. Keeley. Bottom row: R. Shank, D. Anderson, J. Truhn. Tennis The Park tennis team won 12 out of 13 meets for a most outstanding season. Some of the strong teams that fell before the Park netmen were Roosevelt city'champion, Central, Blake, and St. Cloud. The lone loss came from the rackets of Edina in the return match. Park and Edina were co-champions in the Lake-Valley Conference with identical won-loss records of 13 and 1. In the District 18 Tournament Jim Elsness was defeated in the singles' finals after winning in three rounds of play. Park's doubles entry of Louie Flagg and Jerry Truhn was nipped by Edina in the Dis- trict finals also. Stan Keeley, the fourth player, narrowly lost to the singles' champion from Edina in the opening round. ln. Region V play Elsness drew the regional number-one player in the first round. The top eight players were so close in ability that to position them would be a problem. This team was the strongest full squad that St. Louis Park has fielded in tennis. Fortunately, five of the players were underclassmen forming the nucleus of the 1957 squad, thereby assuring us of another promising season.
