Our metamorphosis was a gradual yet (onstant proc ess. Individual growth tom hed all facets of our lives — emotional, physical social and academic We learned from both succ cssful and unsuc cessful etn ounters, and gained new wisdom whi h enabled us to modify our behaviors to meet our ever-c hanging needs. Them - • 3 •• 4 • Theme divERsifiEd hiqhs Pep tests, Homecoming. Prom and graduat ion seemed the highlights of high school to junior high kids caught in the throes of puberty. Then we craved to submit ourselves to pie-eating contests, basketball games and Friday night dances. We were right and wrong. We rarely stayed home and sometimes went to . school functions, but they were not our sole means of enjoying ourselves. An ECHOWAN random-sample survey of TOO students, a sample large enough to give a statistically accurate impression of the entire school body, revealed that some of our highs came from illegal sources usually considered immoral and improper bv our parents. The Evil Weed was smoked by 77 per cent of the sample. Changing the state minimum drinking age to 19 did not keep alcohol away from Park students as % per cent of our sample conceded that they had used alcohol and 72 per cent had visited bars. ECHOWAN'S survey also found that 91 per cent of the sample journeyed into the world o f da t ing. Wh il( dating was probably defined by many as having met a member of the opposite sex at a party, 28 per cent had — nostalgically phrased — gone steady. Theme • 5 Outgrown We began our metamorphosis as energetic, imaginative children molded by our teachers' and parents' demands. We followed our parents' religious and moral beliefs. We obeyed orders to bring out the garbage and be in bed by nine. Grade school teachers commanded us to stay in line and to be quiet. Our innocence shielded us 6 • Theme from the Vietnam conflict and the 60's drug culture, but adolescence pushed us into the world. We had to start making decisions for ourselves. Should have purchased a new stereo or put the money away for college? Should I have gone to the football game or written the English paper? It was then that we, the once vigorous children, knew we could decide our own futures. boundaries Tl____ From empty Ix'giqnings our person )I experiences made us unique individuals Theme • 9 Inescapable pain and rejer lion w ere pari ot life's transitions. We went through stages ot boredom and depression much too often Distinct, anguished moments pressed themselves into our memories: breaking-up, being humiliated, experiencing someone's death, failing a driver's test, wailing unnoticed at the dance. Often, our depression resulted in devouring the refrigerator's contents, takings 14-hour nap or burying our brains in a scandalous novel. At especially bad times we needed triends, but it was then that they seemed to ignore us. Warming the bench, lonely Friday nights, or just Irving bummed out epitomized our deject ion. Indeed these were the melancholy days ot tears and aspirin. Theme • 11 Snare hing for friendship and acknow ledgement, we reached out for people. Recognition and popularity w eren't all that we sought, for as w e merged into the high sc hool environment we gained a different insight into ourselves and our cohabitants. We learned that the depth of our relationships was more important than the breadth. Many of us learned to count on a few close friends who we could trust and w ho gave us the understanding we yearned tor to pull us through identity crises and semester finals. Our bond with these special friends provided us with an extra bit of confidence Hello l hear you and a grow ing tolling of self-worth.

So, we searched for a cubicle I in which to grow. Many of us found our I niche in involvement. For some it was I participation in the cultural and academic spectrum. | For others it was the relaxed atmosphere of the sandlot leagues. Through often painfull experimentations, we found thaV bur ventures were more V of a struggle than most of us ever anticipated. But for all who participated there was an inner satisfaction because we realized that each of us had become an integral part of an ever changing picture. We made Park a place that was uniquely ours. Activities taught us responsibility. But, more importantly, they gave us a chance to count, to matter, to make a difference. o Subdivision • 15 Coronation ends long, hard week The busy week of rehearsing, last minute shopping and useless attempts at homework was ending. For 54 regal seniors, it was a week of excitement — for some, a dream come true. The anticipated moment finally arrived. Pulses raced as Ross and Amy were crowned Homecoming King and Queen.

The royal court was proclaimed at “Ye old pep fest the week before. Two hundred students acknowledged dress-up day wearing their new Homecoming t-shirts only to be surpassed by Park's Maid Marions and Friar Tucks. Oriole athletes were robbed of victory in soccer, gymnastics and football during the week. With anticipated emotion, Ross Levin and Amy Hollowell were crowned King and Queen. Braving the early snow.

Homecoming • 9 Lumberjack Days attempt winter relief With winter blahs and senior slump permeating the student body, lumberjack Days attempted to boost spirit at Park. The week began with a sparsely attended Dudley Riggs performances Springtime carnations attempted to thaw out record cold winter. Park's hockey team boosted the week's momentum with a four to three victory over Osseo, but everything slowed to a crawl when Co-chairpersons Chris Gray and Donna Creamer cancelled King and Queen Coronation due to the lack of interest. Lumberjack Days closed with Brent Siegel's Broomball team winning a hotly-contested Tournament.

Cheers like that were heard for the first time this year at Park, and our newest cheerleading squad wasn't composed of the usual Saturday night dates for the football team. Instead, eight boys drilled for hours under the coaching of Joel Anderson. In order to learn the basics, the boy cheerleaders had a workshop with the University of Minnesota squad. Then, they were on their own in trying to lift school spirit. Students responded well to the boys' array of twists and flips during the action of the athletic events. Boy cheerleaders were pioneers, treading where few had dared before. They helped to make Park unique in the Lake Conference. Chicalaca boomalaca siss boom bah.

Yet, they planned Sadie Hawkins, sponsored a summer carwash and spent an hour every Wednesday afternoon perfecting cheers until they appeared deceptively simple. Girl Cheerleaders Parkettes; smiles well earned With sequined smiles, Parkettes roused the crowd with cheers for the Vikings, performed for the public at the State Fair, and danced for the Orioles at pep festsand football and basketball games. These 37 professionals worked for their glory, practicing Tuesdays and Fridays to perfect each step.

However, for the 24 girls who joined Surf Belles, warmth and friendship found while shivering in the pool far outweighed the endless hours of work. Added to that was the pride of putting on a high caliber water ballet show which they choreographed and costumed themselves.

Even 362 years after its debut, the play's incomparable wit and style allowed us to wallow in the rare pleasure of laughing at ourselves.

Free moments were spent drilling eight dance numbers choreographed by Kerri Casserly.

Unfamiliar territory left us f uncomfortable. At first, duties outweighed pay-offs slowly we got a taste of wh« had to do. Carefully unwrapping our thoughts, we made our decision and dove into our project hoping to overcome obstacles by facing them head on. 40 • Tootsie Pop temptation to quickly bite inrough to the sweetness that we hoped to find was great. Some gave in, but most savored every moment. The goal was finally within our reach. All that was needed was last minute refinements. Anticipation mounted as we realized our job was ending. Our task was complete. The taste of satisfaction remained as we discovered that our efforts had been worthwhile. We had reached our goal. Tootsie Pop • 41 ST. LOUIS PARK ECU© Amy Hollowell is the Editor in Chief of the ECHO. On her falls the final responsibility for making the ECHO as polished a publication as possible. To accomplish this, Amy makes a series of trips to the printer for each issue, making sure that the final product meets her own high standards. ORIOLE COOKIES Neal Karlen is the ECHO'S nifty ace reporter and originator of Oriole Cookies. His award winning writing talents lend themselves mostly to features stories which means that his work appears primarily on pages two and four. Managing Editor Howie Milstein makes the final decisions as to which stories will be included in each ECHO. Once this is done, he assigns stories to reporters, making sure that each staff member gets a chance to write everything from straight news stories to Oriole Cookies. Margie Stein, as Page One Editor, is responsible for the straight news of the ECHO. Therefore, she faces a unique problem. Timeliness is the major element of any straight news story. However, since the ECHO only comes out every other week, it is close to impossible for page one's news to be strictly up-to-date. Morley Sobol, Sports Editor, with the help of his assistant Jeanie Meyers, has to reduce more than two weeks of sports activities into less than one page. Many times this means that there is not enough room on the sports page for his column Sobol from the Sidelines or for extra pictures. ST.

His major problem is creating a balance between page four's editorial function and more flippant features such as Oriole Cookies which are printed purely for their entertainment value. While most staff members are concerned only with their own page. Copy Production Editor Judy Could must view the whole ECHO. Before an ECHO goes to the printer, Judy checks each story for errors. It is her responsibility to see that the corrections are made.

ECHO • 4 i ECHOWAN: toil, turmoil, triumph When ECHOWAN began on the first day of school, a December first deadline seemed years away. As it drew closer, grease pencils mysteriously disappeared and staffers regularly skipped classes. On ECHOWAN Fridays, gifts and goodies replaced copy and layouts. When Major Staff crept into the backroom to check proof, 21 dejected souls grimaced at the thought of what they were missing. While ECHOWAN's tradition of keeping staff secrets was frustrating, it added to the excitement of deadlines. As distribution approached, excitement and pride combined with fears of student disapproval, but the staff's enthusiasm prevailed the night of the staff banquet when the product was finally unveiled.

Mandala mirrors Park's creativity Mandala, Park's award winning literary magazine, provided those with photographic, artistic or literary talent a showcase in which to display their work. The 21 staff members had the job of sorting through over 700 submissions to find the 40 or 50 that would be published. In order to fund the magazine, this year's staff had to raise much of the printing cost themselves. Money was made by selling suckers, sponsoring a dance and holding the annual Mandala Coffeehouse. When the Mandala was distributed it was clear that this year's staff had harnessed Park's creativity. 46 • Mandala TOP LEFT: POETRY: N. Dinner. T. Sloul, P. Orenstein, A. Nerburn.

DECA 55 Experience main aorta of HEART HEART, The Home Economics and Related Training Program, involved 36 Park High students. Covering fields such as-child care, interior design and food services, the students learned to function in the roles which they one day would probably have to fill. Early dismissal each day from school enabled them to explore and work in different environments such as the Learning Tree, Popp in' Fresh and Cork and Cleaver. They volunteered their time to prepare Thanksgiving baskets for needy families in St. Louis Park. Exploring their fields of interest, HEART students prepared themselves for the future.

Their 114 voices echoed from their special retreat, in the corner of the basement. Here they found security from the everyday hassle and hustle of high school life. However, under the direction of Gordon Griebenow, its members ventured out to perform many area concerts. Major appearances included caroling at the Mall, Ridgedale and Southdale. The Chorus ended the winter by combining with Lindbergh's choir to perform Handel's Messiah. TOP: Wondering when to begin, Debbie Froehlig waits for her cue.

Neuter, non-required courses allowed students to expand skills. Eggs were surrogate children for Child Development students, impressing upon them the responsibilities they might one day face as parents. Aspiring Hank Meadows and Julia Childs loaded their class schedules with Modern Foods, Food Specialties and Foreign Foods and sharpened their culinary artistry with everything from tea cakes to enchiladas. Industrial Artists expanded their junior high welding and electrical skills. Students of Graphic Arts prepared the paper work that carried most of us through our year of school. Woodworkers started with breadboards but polished their skills by refurnishing the teachers' lounge. Mostly, those courses gave students skills that would last a lifetime.

Due to rising interest in these concoctions, three part-time teachers were added to the staff. Through the aid of foreign films, cooking native foods and playing familiar games, such as Monopoly, students assimilated cultures different from ours. Active use of the language' lab improved pronunciation and extended vocabulary. As in the past, spring and summer trips took Park's students throughout Europe. Combining these' ingredients, students found that a once strange language could become familiar.

Mini-School was a two-hour break from conventional teaching methods. Teachers Lynne Larson and John Merrill emphasized individual approaches to English and Social Studies. Mini-School members came together as a group for projects which included caring for pet gerbils, preparing Thanksgiving dinner in their own kitchen and attempting to grow plants. Although there were no real walls around Mini-School, the rest of the student body rarely entered this area. Mini-School was an important program in our school, allowing many students to graduate who otherwise might not. Mini-School •117 A different route Some students found that a four-year college was not the only path to a successful, satisfying career. They wanted the immediately relevant training which could only be found at Hennepin Vocational Technical Center.

While seeking the exhilaration of winning, athletes survived daily practices which left them with weary biceps, chlorinated eyes, wheezing lungs and blistered heels. They learned to cope with pre-game jitters, crucial last seconds of competition and post game blues. Throughout the season coaches worked to transform individuals into teams. Though they often succeeded, individuals did not lose their identities. 120 • Athletics Introduction Fall Athletics 121 Separate goals weaken Oriole Soccer Team A team is a group of individuals working toward a common goal. When that goal was winning a soccer game, the individuals included Captain Tom Stout, All-State Team member and voted Most Valuable Offensive and Overall Player, and jim Barnett, voted Most Valuable Defensive Player and named Most Improved Player by Coach Drangeid. Everyone combined their talents to overpower Armstrong in the season's first game, 5-1. However, as the season progressed, the players concentrated on their own personal goals instead of team goals, thus the record faltered. Near the season's end, the Orioles outscored Lindbergh and Wayzata ten goals to one, but the momentum did not carry them past the first Region 6AA match where the team lost to Benilde, 3-0.

But, as daily training intensified and confidence rose, the team fired out a six meet winning streak before losing to the state's number one ranked team, Armstrong, in its last conference competition. Along with a second place team finish at the regional meet, six Park gymnasts qualified for advancement to state competition. All-Conference honors were given to Co-Captains Tom Anderson and Ion Klaverkamp, Paul Brey and Kurt Morse for their outstanding performances on the pommel horse, parallel bars, high bar and still rings, respectively. Breaking the Park record in pommel horse competition, placing fourth in state in that same event and receiving All-Regional honors, Tom Anderson was voted the team's most valuable performer. Advancing to A-squad in his first year of gymnastic competition, Rick Bateson was voted the team's most improved performer. Boys' Gymnastics • 129 Season of firsts Girls' Volleyball was highlighted by a series of firsts. New Assistant Coach Ruth Rounds helped Coach Dallas Skaug organize and inspire the team. Having grown steadily stronger since its inception four years ago, the team was invited to its first tournament at Columbia Heights. As skills improved, positive attitudes grew. Enthusiasm was especially evident within the bumper crop of sophomores dominated by Lucy Buchite, Susan Kragseth and Linda Peterson. However, regular season play ended with a disappointing 7-9 record. In their first regional play-off game Park's netters were matched against the Lindbergh Flyers. After a shocking 16 point loss in the first game, Park took the match with scores of 18-12, 18-16 for the team's first play-off victory ever.

The result: Mary Stevens and Todd Wilson both placed fifth in Regions in Slalom; Scott Winer and Pat Cannon jumped to sixth and seventh in Regions; Rocky Racette had the best individual record for the season and placed eighth in the Region Cross-Country Meet. The relaxed mood of the team did not result in successful team standings, but the experience of being on Park's Ski Team more than compensated.

Catcher Mike Hope received All-Conference honors and was voted most improved performer by is teammates. Hope dominated Park's final batting statistics with a .390 average, just ahead of shortstop Bill Bosley's .320.

Early unexpected losses to Richfield and Cooper hurt the team's chances of a third place or better finish, but strong determination and an abundance of veterans produced a successful season for Park's tennis team. Park's two top players. Captain Judd Larson and Dave Atlas, led the squad to a tie for fourth place in the Conference standings with an 8-5 record. Finishing the season with five consecutive wins. Park opened the Region 6AA playoffs with a 5-0 win over Jefferson. However, a narrow loss to Armstrong ended Park's hope of a state tournament berth. Larson, Park's All Conference first singles award winner, finished the season with a 21-5 overall record.

Others found meaning in a season that had passed too quickly but had lott them with triendships and with increased individual strengths. Athletics C6nclusion • I $3 Bicentenn ial m inutes and world-wide press coverage marked America's emergence into our third century. Record inflation and unemployment along with the Nixon pardon cast a shadow over the presidency and re-election campaign oi Gerald ford, limmy Carter's primary wins gave him the Democratic presidential nomination and a 30 point lead in opinion polls, but on election day the race was too close to call. Traditional party philosophies of both candidates indicated America's desire to put the confusion of past years behind and resume business as usual. We continued our detente policy with the U.S.S.R. and our acceptance of Arab oil policies. Olympic athletes Nadia Comaneci, Bruce Jenner and Sugar Ray Leonard glittered for a moment only. Our insatiable appetite for sports led to an average N.B.A. salary of $109,000 — over ten times the median American income. President Ford approved record high defense spending but vetoed health, education and welfare bills in a futile attempt to balance the budget. Medical science anticipated a swine flu epidemic with a nationw ide vaccination program. We all watched as crops were destroyed by the worst drought of the century. While America did not fail, neither did it prosper. Interlude • 165 Whether we wanted to notice or not, state and school environments were making transitions to deal with the future. Senator Walter Mondale became Vice President and Governor Wendell Anderson appointed himself to fill the vacant Senate seat. Lieutenant Governor Rudy Perpich was elevated to the governorship, becoming the first non-Scandinavian in 67 years and the first Catholic ever to fill that post. Minnesota led the nation at the polls with a 75 per cent turnout and gave the majority of their votes to Democrats in all levels of government. Volunteers and professionals battled drought, forest fires and Dutch elm disease in hopes that Minnesota could be saved from economic and environmental ruin. Morally uncertain state legislators decrim in a! ized ma rijuana while raising the drink ing age from 18 to 19. With an aging community, only 30 per cent of Park's families had children in the school system. Due to declining enrollments, mature staffs and the alleged Minnesota miracle, Dr. Micheal Hickey spent his first full year as Park's superintendent dealing with budget cuts. These reductions became a top priority as teachers, elective courses and extracurricular activities led threatened existences. Interlude • 167 However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is me. This is authentic and represents where I am at that moment in time. When I review later how I looked and sounded, what I said and did, and how I thought and felt, some parts turn out to be unfitting. I can discard that which is unfitting, and keep that which proved fitting, and invent something new for that which I discarded. I can see, hear, feel, think, say and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me. I own me, and therefore I can engineer me. I am me and I am okay. Virginia Satir 168 • Interlude On our own 170 •Interlude A school week seemed to last months while a weekend swished by in what seemed hours. Often our lives revolved around finding something new and hopefully exciting to do. Dozens of concerts came to the cities. For $7-$10 we could hear our favorite music group and find both refuge and release. Melissa Manchester's lyrics put our thoughts into words and made us feel better. Exotic floor shows drew us to Alice Cooper while Hall and Oates made us mellow. Peter Frampton Comes Alive sold 2.5 million copies to surpass all previous record sales. Flutist Tim Weisberg put us in touch with the present, while Bach and Tschaikovsky put us in touch with the past. We found that savory crepes at the Magic Fan and fountain treats from the Malt Shop added variety to the Perkins' or Poppin' Fresh syndrome. It was hard to decide which bad movie to go to, so we resorted to televised oldies but goodies with the first television showing of Gone With the Wind capturing 77 per cent of the American viewing audience. The disco beat grabbed us, but our suburban soul came from Arthur Murray's or from cool friends. In such a bland era, there weren't big events to excite us, so we had to learn to get enjoyment out of the little things rather than wait for exciting activities to come to us. Interlude • 171 UItra chic In spite of our adolescence, ignorance, acne, idealism and innocence, we strove to create the facade of sophistication. Seemingly chic, our ideal was an over-18 image. Donning the latest denim outfit, complemented by new leather boots, one boogied down to the disco. Or, slipping into the Haberdashery unnoticed, we ordered an illicit strawberry daiquiri. Discussing the meaning of life with our best friends until three in the morning brought about such startling revelations as, The difference between sex and love is monumental, or, There really is life after high school. Listening to the mellow vibes emanating from our 172 • Interlude stereos, we shuddered to remember the bubble gum music of younger days. Shelling out $6.50 in the name of culture, we went to the Guthrie to hear New York's great new singer whom everyone had heard of but whom no one had heard. Trying to create our pseudo-adulthood never really worked, because we could see through ourselves. However, it was worth a try. We had nothing to lose. 174 • People Aaron, Joel Aaseng, Scott Abernalhy, Kathleen Addington, Linda Adelman, Julie Ahmed, Zaitun It'S obvious — they're sophomores Where am I going? was a phrase often heard from bewildered sophomores roaming about the school.

Time passed, and sophomores' questions changed: Is the Pythagorean theorem applicable to all triangles? Will my grades be high enough for acceptance to a good college?

We apologize for any inconvenience this might have caused. A special thanks ECHOWAN recorded the changes of the year with over 2,400 pictures and 20,000 words. It would not have been possible without the help of the following individuals. RICH We would like to thank Rich Rosch for his hours of editing and thesaurusizing for his fantastic guidance in pulling us through deadlines and jungles of captions, and finally for his moments of angriness and months of friendship which showed us that he cared. PLETSCH We thank Scherling-Pletsch photography studio for supplying us with the film and equipment and last-minute picture developing for which we could never have done without. PARENTS Thanks. ma and pa for supporting us through 8 o'clock dinners and midnight snacks. Your support made ECHOWAN possible. Your loving kid. ANNE We must thank our Tay-lor-connection Anne Mueller. She came flying at the drop of a recorded phone message. MR. ERICKSON Thanks to Bill Erickson Sr., who piloted us around in his big bird for aerial shots. MR. GUN LOCK Thanks to Gordon Gunlock who used his expertise anc gave our photographers advice and a helping hanc when they needed it. Index • 251 In such a largo, formidable environment, it seemed difficult to emerge, to make ourselves visible. But whether by instinct, experience or hard work, barriers were cast aside and our characters were transformed. Our fragmented ideas, emotions and interests were welded together making us distinct individuals. Our metamorphoses were so slow that often we only knew that they had occurred when we looked back to where we had started from. Instead of seeing life as black and white, we began to appreciate its shades of gray. We were like the hour hands on the school clocks that we grew to know so well. 1 ry as hard as we might. We could never see them move. However, after glancing away for what seemed only a moment, the hands had changed and our time in high school was up. 253 Admit it you guys. After surviving deadline stress, insanity outbreaks, Excedrin highs, staff breakfasts. Rich's puns, unrequested insomnia, kinky jokes, procrastination blues. Cooper Golf Fan Club and inherent apathy, ECHOWAN really was fun. We know that creating a yearbook transcends the basics of words and pictures. It is a montage of emotions. An extra colossal thanks goes to the rest of MS, who worked relentlessly on a special Metamorphosis. Sally, for her wide-awake brain that functioned at MS breakfasts, even when the waffle machine was broken. Tom, for “horsing around with the best negatives and for keeping the photographers pure. Craig, for his eclectic choice of words and his lethal purple pen that would annihilate copy without hesitation. Rich, who with his nifty ideas survived his first year of advising and kept us amused with Pookie Fingerman anecdotes. (Is it true that he learned more from Pookie 254 • Flight in high school than from his teachers?) But, the biggest hug of all goes to that covert culprit. The Secret Admirer, whose identity shall remain forever in the catacombs of anonymity. Although everyone probably thought of me as a dictator with a grin who absurdly ranted ECHOWAN or die, I was starkly aware of hours of sleep missed, tears cried, frustrations endured and homework neglected. I won't forget this year, and neither will you. Hugs and kisses.
