Stuemke. Some people call them Fuzz Of the two Career Explorer posts in St. Louis Park, Police Explorers were the most active. While learning basic career techniques, they served the community. During Christmas, the group gave a party to cheer children at Methodist Hospital. Throughout the year, members patrolled exhibits in the city as well as at Expo ’74 in the spring. On-the-job training involved riding with patrolmen once a month, learning to use weapons safely, callibrating speedometers and administering first aid to the injured. Not fuzz. Not pigs. Friends. Teamwork, nerve and accuracy come first in rescuing a car-accident victim during the mock pile up at the Explorers' five-state convention. 23

Land of ten thousand hobbies Parkites’ attention turned to skiing along forested paths around Lake Minnetonka, hunting pheasants in northern swamps or just cooling off in spring-fed lakes. Others searched to express themselves by creating pewter jewelry, composing music or a piece of literature or collecting nostalgia such as Sha Na Na records. Observers did their thing by becoming cultured at the Guthrie, Minnesota Youth Symphony or a Johnny Winter Concert. Whatever their bag, energy wasn't lost, only converted to new forms. With the fierce competition for fuel, Katie Kroehling combats winter transportation problems by donning her snowshoes and bearing the cold. Motorcycling in winter! Crazy? Not to Robert Kramer as he revs up his Yamaha for a spin around the block. 22 Trotting across a field of snow, Lora Berg finds that riding her horse on weekends is a great way to forget pressures brought on by school.

Neil Alexander portrays the banker Nathan Rothschild, as he offers a proposition of marriage to Cathi Orkin. Barenbaum players Dave Abermon and Marc Cohen lead the play as Andy Bau-mel sweeps left. The effort was in vain as E. S. lippmon captured the AZA title. Spiritual sharing, pew to picnic In the beginning, God created the earth and people to occupy it. What came next? Organizations to occupy people's time. Young Life, BBYO and USY were three of the most popular religious youth organizations. Good communication and a zest for life established the foundation for these groups, where Christian or Jewish ethics prevailed, everywhere from car washes to canoes. 24 Joan Hanson and Linda Vann find that good communication is the key to success in Young Life. They willingly listen to other opinions in a small-group discussion.
