Then there were those traditions that never died. The football team continued for the fifth decade, practicing at 2:45 with the predictability of the rising and setting of the sun. The idea of abolishing homecoming was overridden by strong homecoming spirit. Unadventurous students settled for the old stand bys — Ridgedale and Poppin' Fresh, while others got involved in keeping Interim alive and planning “the Rip off” dance. This year, as always, faculty members tried to do away with the annual illegal “stinking” by new members for initiation into sorori ties and fraternities. We were pressured with the decisions of which traditions were to be rejected and which ones were to be continued. . . SUPERINTENDENT ASS'T S DIR. OF ELEMENTARY EDUC. INFORMATION OVERLOAD = “In general our lives consist of trying to make sense out of nonsense and order out of chaos ...” From womb to tomb we seldom view things as they really are. From the beginning there is too much coming at us too fast. We feel attacked, we feel threatened, we feel alone. The poet, the artist, the mathematician, each and every one of us fights this information overload with the fool proof defense mechanism of pattern recognition. We have to be able to call everyone and everything by a name. We channel all of our emotions into oceans of charts, graphs, poems and songs. We join political parties so that we can say we believe in something. We have titles so that we can say we’ve become something. We join teams and clubs so that we can say we belong to something. As Will Rogers tells it, “Two nuts can't go out to lunch together three times without one of them saying, ‘Let's form a club.' Three men can’t meet nowadays without one of them getting a gavel and the other two drawing up a constitu- tion and by-laws. I am going to be the founder of one club that is one with a purpose. Our purpose will be to take a dying oath to murder every club member we meet. Then when we have thoroughly killed every member and there are no other members left, to commit suicide ourselves and give the world a new start. It’s being ‘clubbed’ to death.” A Ph.D. degree tells us that a person really knows something and no degree tells us, of course, that a person 4 5 • Them© PATTERN RECOGNITION - O l SO mi: really knows nothing at all. Our chemists tell us that everything, that even our hearts, are made up of atoms which look exactly like the models we build of them. In general, our lives consist of trying to make sense out of nonsense and order out of chaos. But something tells us that this in itself is. too much. The way we deal with our information overload is in itself an overload. We realize we've over categorized and oversimplified. Too many undefina- bles have been defined. Suddenly it’s apparent that, although convenient, pattern recognition takes the magic out of our lives. When we can transcend pattern recognition we have our moments of greatness. These are the times we understand that there are things we’ll never understand and that there is beauty in those things. When we have no boundaries we can truly master our information overload. “A man,” says Oliver Cromwell, “never rises so high as when he knows not whither he is going. But, we’re told to always know where we are going, and we honestly feel safer when do. The world can be digested far more easily when we package it in doses that we can swallow. Things move so quickly that pattern recognition is the only way for us to cope. . . . to be continued . x tfmmtfitv cet v� $ '« «• it SJJW§ xtv9 H turtvS ogUvtv; fcvcg, iffotv i© $ piCfoe, o e 5itcc 6 7 • Theme f m forcvir.'Tfo sun rt$oSr ifo isc$.

Our daily routines helped to guide our lives, they were a part of every day. With only minor changes, every day was a playback of the day before, a preview of the day ahead; we associated with the same friends and used our regular shampoo. Our “rituals” became a part of us and we found them hard to part with. They fulfilled a basic human need; they provided a sense of security, we were safe. We needn't feel rejection, we’d done it before. Wake Wash. Eat Study Eat We didn't need to think, our actions became automatic. If we wanted, we could move through our daily cycles without ever making any real effort. However, our routines did keep our lives organized, so we could spend our time and energy on important things and interests. Being organized helped us to use our time well, and if we were lucky, time to relax. Within our daily lives, routines were intertwined to help create our daily cycles.

Putting ourselves in the environment, whether by hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, fishing, backpacking, or just relaxing It Lake of the Isles, the lapse of time and the daily pressures we all experienced seemed practically nonexistent. We took trips to Taylors Falls and the Boundary Waters to escape from the tumult of city life and spend our vacation time peacefully and leisurely. Some of us chose to try Outward Bound, an adventure program where we were actually isolated in the wilderness. Our concepts of nature's wonders were shallow. Somehow, it's mystery attracted, yet eluded us. By taking our place in nature, our environment allowed us to view ourselves in a somewhat more humble and vulnerable way. | p M|l| 1 . to be continued . . .

France had King Louis, rock had Elvis, Wonderland the Queen of Hearts, and England — Elizabeth. The tradition of kings and queens has lived since the beginning of time, and it was continued once again this year at Park High. The pageantry on Wednesday night, October twelfth, enabled much of Park’s kingdom to behold the crowning of King David Rosen-gren, and Queen Debra Pavek, the newest royalty at Saint Louis Park Senior High School. 16 17 • Coronation Opposite: Top: HOMECOMING CORONATION: King David Rosengren and Queen Debra Pavek.

Hollywood - Homecoming Happenings “With Shirley Temple tapping her way across the gymnasium . . . Hollywood brought back memories and so would our Hollywood Homecoming.” The Golden Days were here again. October 10th through the 14th, buttons and t-shirts were our way of saying Park’s Hollywood Homecoming was well on its way. Through those days, with the first quarter ending and spirits high. Homecoming chairpersons Pam Ortman, Jane Pratt and Dan McQuaid, along with the rest of their crew, put on a show to lift spirits even higher. With behind the scene troubles, frustration and crazy moments with rescheduling, the backstage practices became reality before our eyes. This captivating week began with coronation on October 12th. The crowns and robes were worn by Debbie Pavek and David Rosengren, our King and Queen stars for 1977. The props for the next scene presented were lemon, chocolate, and cream pies. 100 anxious eaters joined together in the cafeteria and the contest began. With pie covered faces, the swim team became the stars. As the series came to a close, a varsity show was set before our eyes. With Shirley Temple tapping her way across the gymnasium, the Andrew Sisters singing Boogie Woogy Bugle Boy, and the Marx Brothers doing their comedy routine, Hollywood brought back old time memories and so would our Hollywood Homecoming. That evening was the football battle with the Minnetonka Skippers. As the Homecoming button promised, the Skippers did “see stars.” With the game on the barely completed field, and the fans at full attention, the score of 23-0 was a fitting finale. Thus ended our entertainment for our Hollywood Homecoming, but the memories will remain. Opposite Page: Center Left: HOMECOMING CHAIRPERSONS: J. Theros, K. Polley, J. Pratt, D. McQuaid, P. Ortman.

Tha lights went down, the curtain came up and the Carousel began to turn.” In June the cast was picked, but September came, and many of the members quit. It was a new and different cast that got the play under way. Tedious hours were spent practicing after school and at home in front of mirrors. Then after ten weeks it was opening night. The lights went down, the curtain came up and the Carousel began to turn. Under the direction of Roger Declercq, June was busting out in November with St. Louis 20 21 • Carooiel Park Drama Department’s production of Carousel. The story revolved around Billy Bigelow “a bum with no money,” who eventually married and whose tragic life ended in suicide. The Rogers and Hammerstein musical was performed by 27 Carousel cast members and was an economical production. The plot was a merry-go-round of acting, song and dance, which intrigued audiences during five performances.

Balloonman threatens her life but she is able to defeat him . . . Thank heaven for little girls.” The children’s play The Hide and Seek Odyssey of Madeline Gimple required more than learning lines and putting up routine sets. Director Barb Eck’s second play at Park was selected for its intriguing title. The fifteen person cast helped build all the sets so that they could feel more involved with the production. For three weeks the auditorium was filled with their trials and tribulations. There were magic tricks and special props to work with. These skills had to be mastered in order for the play’s message to get across to the Bal-loonmen, Littermen and Madelines in the audience. Madeline is sure her stay at the Orphanage is temporary. There she meets Balloonman, who represents our fears and Litterman, representing protection from laws and grownups. Balloonman threatens her life but she is able to defeat him in the end.

Parkettesi a different kind of team “A Parkette was a team member who worked in harmony with the other girls to achieve perfection.” The image of a Parkette seen by audiences at the State Fair, home Viking games. Park basketball games, and many other events was one of a polished, showy, smiling girl dressed in sequins. In reality, every Parkette went through hours of preparation before being able to perform. Practices were long, hot and discouraging. They often resulted in pulled muscles and hard feelings. Girls were coached in the art of kicking high, watching weight. dancing full-out and getting along with their peers. A Parkette was a team member who worked in har mony with the other girls to achieve perfection. Their multita tented coach, Toni Swiggum worked hard to create group unit,1 as well as quality. Filled with the satisfaction of a successful year, the Parkettes took off for a vaca tion to sunny Waikiki Beach, Hawaii, where the senior Park ettes danced together for one las • time.

Committee members and their adviser, George Olsen, were determined to overcome the problems which caused the cancellation of the previous year’s interim. Planning two school dances and a car wash helped to raise money to hire professionals, pay for transportation and many other expenses. With choices from learning the basics of beekeeping to rappelling at Taylor’s Falls, the majority of students found something new and unique that they enjoyed taking part in.

Park cheerleaders were always on the spot, smiling and cheering Park teams to victory. When they weren’t showing their energies on the field, their energies were visible on Park's famous brown paper signs, with never a disheartening word. The signs were a constant reminder for Park students to attend after-school activities and keep Park spirit at a maximum. The tradition of t.p.ing the soccer players homes, making football players football cakes, decorating the locker rooms before games, an annual fund raiser, and Sadie Hawkins were also kept alive during the year. With the inspiration of coach Joel Anderson, and special instruction from members of the University of Minnesota cheerleading squad.

KDXL Goes FM i “KDXL evolved from garbled music and static in the cafeteria, to a diverse FM radio station.” After three years of treading through bureaucracy, KDXL became the first high school-community FM radio station in the metropolitan area. While veterans on the staff broadcasted on the radio, new members ran the lunchroom station. KDXL dropped the popular music format of KSLP and switched to a more well-rounded style. They broadcasted classical and popular music, radio drama, news, weather and sports. Scott Sklenar, Director of Programming, planned the station’s format to be mainly top 40-progressive, but he was willing to switch until he found a style that most people liked. KDXL was more than just a school radio station. Pete Peterson, the Station Adviser, realized that it was a community radio station, but made sure it was run by Park’s students, while still servicing Community Education, classes that concerned broadcasting and students who ran the station.

Park’s Rowing Team captured the state championship virtually unchallenged under the powerful leadership of co-captains Scott Saunders and Scott Horwitz. They spent seemingly endless hours in the rowing room planning strategy. Their hard work paid off as they consistently turned upsets into routs. Morale was high, despite the lack of returning let-termen. However, attendance to practices dropped during subzero weather, much to the chagrin of Coach Russell Christensen. The crew had planned to build an official lake on the school grounds, however, the School Board failed to come up with the needed funds, so the project was called off. The all junior team was thwarted again, as the cancellation of the Homecoming parade forced the spirited team to dismantle their unused float.

This year’s Mandala staff had a tough act to follow, as the ’77 Mandala won numerous awards. Co-editors Janet Gummeson and Peggy .Orenstein were confident that this year's Mandala would carry on Mandala’s prestigious reputation. After soliciting photography, art work, prose and poetry, the staff started sorting, judging and put ting entries into the confidential Redbook. All staff members wer then given a week to |udge th Redbook, but the contents sti remained a secret to the rest the school. The final decision wa made, but the work was not ove The magazine had to be compile and the layouts complete Though putting the Manda together was the staff's ma duty, they also had to subsidize The annual coffeehouse and se ing lollipops kept the price bear ble for most students.

Cold weather in November initiated chairpeople Cheryl Hotter, Theresa Wellens and Terri Durkin’s start in the eventtul Sno-Daze. This year’s goal was to overcome the obstacles that hampered success in the past. Buttons, announcements and committees all helped to create the warm atmosphere in Park’s hallways. During these cold days, mittens, scarves, hats and coats were all a part ot students’ daily attire as they trudged through the snow to participate in the Sno-Daze activities. To begin the “Daze”, sophomores, juniors and seniors joined together to display their spirit and witness the randomly chosen candidates for Sno-Daze prince and princess. Onward the students plowed to play broomball against their fellow friends. The winners knew their success would lead them to the faculty-student broomball game.

Park students as a whole were indifferent to the functioning of Student Council. Taking care of business The Student Council’s many returning members discovered that Park students as a whole were indifferent to the functioning of Student Council. The students complained again about being misread and misrepresented, but when handed questionaires asking for our suggestions on issues to be dealt with responses showed that few had made an effort to give honest answers. The meetings were open to everyone but not even elected members showed up every time. As a resul. the council was confined to trad tional roles.

Office Skills Learned “MOEA was more than just another class, it was a busy extracurricular activity.” Working as secretaries for half of the day and as students the other half, MOEA (Minnesota Office Education Association) participants earned money as well as high school credits. However, MOEA was more than just another class, it was a busy extra-curricular activity. They raised money to send people to conventions and competitions by selling candles. Happenings books and holding the annual Homecoming Balloon drift. In addition to raising money, MOEA collected gifts to send to striking miners on the Iron Range, to help brighten up their holiday season. Fora final program MOEA hosted an employer-employee banquet for the people who hired the students as secretaries.

Their occupations ranged from pumping gas to selling optic lenses. The students were evaluated by their employers not only on selling techniques and tactics but more on their appearance, promptness and ability to relate with customers. The students took their required credits in the morning, one of which was distributive education. Here they learned marketing, merchandising and math. DECA provided each student with a unique job experience so that every weekday afternoon they were out in the working world. Top Left: Wondering where their DECA Balloon drift cards had landed.

Mr. Ringsrud was the proud new adviser of the flourishing group. This year there were five boards added for competition in the new junior varsity team. The competitive atmosphere produced by the wits against wits philosophy of the members made for an exciting season. The team spent their time on the road figuring out ways to psyche themselves up and their opponents out. This was the third year Park had a chess team and because of the interest shown it became another tradition at Park. The success was aided by the constant enlisting of new sophomores.

Many students arrived when school was well underway. They received only a quick tour of the complex floors before having to face the multitudes already lurking in the halls.

The season started off with many new faces showing up at the first meeting, but most of the perspective new members lost interest when they realized the amount of time and work involved. However, the lack of new members didn't tarnish the enthusiasm of the handful of avid debaters, as they began the job of researching. The dedicated few spent after school and even week ends developing cases and prac ticing them.

Camera Club was a busy extracur ricular activity lor many St. Louis Park students. The actual number of photographers varied from meeting to meeting, but the total membership of the group was at times twenty people. Reasons varied for joining Camera Club; some joined because they wanted to learn about photography, while other more experienced photogra phers joined just to use the equipment. The group itself was as div erse as the reasons for joining. Students of photography classes, former students and ECHOWAN staff members made up most of the club, but many other people also decided to join. Gordon Gun lock, adviser, said that Camera Club was a little disorganized; everytime that the club mentioned electing officers, they dropped the idea so they could get right down to working on their pictures.

Our behavior was a confusion of both. Some of us were still fascinated by the magic of soap bubbles, while others found their enjoyment by indulg ing in an adult-rated movie. People told us that we were too old to have food fights during lunch. They told us that we were too young to go to bars and discos. But we did what we wanted to. Whether it was acting like a row die child or a mature adult, we managed to stay away from the teenager’' image. It was sometimes difficult to make that transition from child to adult. But even so, we still had fun enjoying our growing moments between our hours of homework and paying jobs. Our optimism and fears remained a part of our childhood as we continued to mature into responsible adults. 56 57 • Feature . . . to be continued . . .

On Monday nights during the fall season, the gym was filled with laughing and shouting players as Ort’s Snorts and Theros’ Angels as well as other volleyball teams battled for the championship. Poor attendance on the part of some players was a common problem usually overcome with a switch in line-ups. Boys’ intramural basketball proved to be more competitive while broomball was more recreational. Anita supervised the games and kept track of the winning teams.

Come on, admit it — there were times in our lives when we thought that our teachers were somehow, something more than human; that they worked, ate and slept in the classroom. As we grew older, the truth became known. We came to realize that teachers were once children that grew to be high school students just like us. They liked and disliked many of the same things we did, and were curious about similar things — romance, making their first steps into the world and what their future years would hold for them. Most didn't spend their school days preparing to become teachers, but in the end, they found themselves in front of a classroom of students. And thus, the well-known myths began: 1. Teachers were perfect. 2. Teachers’ lives revolved solely around the school. 3. Teachers were to be put upon a pedestal. But when we embarked upon our high school days, we found differently. We saw that our teachers were not perfect. They lost their patience, made mistakes and yelled too often. They had good and bad days and much to our surprise, were not always overjoyed to return to school every morning. We discovered that they did not confine their lives to the four walls of our school, that they too had a family and a social life. Most of all, we found that, just like us, teachers wanted to be respected for who and what they were. 72 73 Feature . . . to be continued . . .

The seven member counseling team performed many functions vital to the students. This year they had the awesome responsibility of helping 2,000 students. The counselors' office at Park was not a disciplinarian office, but a place where students could go for a sympathetic ear, helpful ideas and information. The counselors were responsible for administering and interpreting the forever frustrating intelligence and college entrance exams. Many seniors came to them for college and career advice. Serving as a liaison between students, parents and teachers was yet another job of the counseling team, and the list went on . . .

These were the main issues that the 1977-78 School Board dealt with. Enrollment in the St. Louis Park school system was even lower than anticipated, going down 8.4% from last year. Decisions had to be reached as to where budget cuts should be made. Closing schools, cutting teachers, dropping courses and athletics were all measures under consideration. Protecting the rights of the faculty and working with the School Board on some major issues was the job of the Faculty Senate. Each senate member was in charge of a group of constituents and was responsible to air their grievances and suggestions.

The word '‘literature brings to mind thoughts of dusty, old books that hold the masterpieces of great writers and philosophers. Since society demanded that we become knowledgeable in the works of literature in order to gc on to college and out into the world, our studies took us in various directions. We studied the classics and the contemporaries, world and American authors. We explored science fiction, short sto- 76 77 • Literature r es, imaginative literature and pondered over the values and c uestions that have puzzled men t iroughout history. The horizons c literature were broadened even f irther for those of us who ven-t ired on to Advanced Placement i nglish, in hopes of receiving pos-i ble college credits.

The Boss Knew Best . . writing ... a tool we would use time and time again throughout our lives.” We needed an administrative push to motivate us to enter into the realm of the English writing courses. Standards required that each of us take at least one English writing course before we graduated from Park. Teachers told us how important it was that we understood the basics of good writing techniques. Writing, they told us, when managed well, was but another name for conversation. So, with graduation in mind, we began to select the course which would hand us the key to our future. The faculty tried to make it as pleasant as possible by giving us a variety of courses from which to choose, each designed to suit every one of our needs and desires. Among the most popular courses was Moffett, for the poet in us all. If we were interested in a more structured writing technique, Composition I and II were the classes to take. Through Journalism, some of us sought the opportunity to learn skills of news writ- 78 79 • English Writing ing, and we were able to use our skills on school publications such as the ECHO and ECHOWAN. In all writing courses, the goal was to use writing to get our message across effectively. Although it was hard to admit that the administration knew best, we saw we were being well taught in the ways of using a tool that we would use time and time again throughout our lives.

Understanding Communication Mediums “we all had a common goal — to . . . understand communication mediums and to express ourselves more clearly.“ We spent a large part of our time communicating. The way we expressed our ideas was very important. How we spoke made the difference in getting a job, being persuasive, influential and in making good impressions. With the importance of communication in mind. Park offered us eleven communication choices. We could explore the world of communication through films, radio, television, theater, literature, informal, formal speaking, group discussion and debate. Electric Humani- ties covered the broad subject of mass media. We could also take classes dealing with a specific part of the media. Those of us taking informal speech were able to air our radio dramas on KDXL. Whether talking to audiences, participating in group discussions or reading aloud, there was a class for all of our interests. Although there was a variety of classes, in taking them we all had a common goal — to better understand communication mediums and to express ourselves more clearly.

America: Fellow Teenager “America was a two hundred and two year old teenager.” American History students did not take a course on memorizing dates and battlefields, but rather a course on a country that was very similar to themselves. America was a two hundred and two year old teenager. Students looked back on their country’s life and saw that it had the same task of selecting its values for the sake of others. They understood that for a successful future they had to work laboriously, as in the factories of yesteryear, or the long search for a solution to the energy shortage. America had progressive years, just as students had fantastic days when they received A's on their history tests. American also had its depression years, like students had their terrible days when they received F’s on their semester finals. America was at war with its sister and brother countries, as students were in arguments with their sis ters and brothers.

Under the direction of Jerome Rood, they improved their musical talents and most importantly, their ability to work together. However, the entire year wasn't spent in the classroom; they performed at the Winter Music Festival, the Pops Concert and several basketball games with the Varsity Band.

Down in the basement, in their own corner, was the orchestra. Every morning talented musicians proceeded to room 7, and created their special music. This routine was led by George Chlebecek. For all of their practices, the musicians were rewarded through concerts and field trips. In October, the orchestra had the honor to observe a Minnesota Orchestra rehearsal. With their concertos, they performed for the bubblegum elementary students, the rock ’n roll junior high students, the classic lovers of the Augsburg String Invitational and of course, the disco crazed Park students. The orchestra was a success no matter if they were alone as strings, together with the woodwinds, or soloists and ensembles. For the orchestra came out of their corner and scaled new heights.

Was a large part of what made our years at Park special.” Select Choir was soon coming to an end. Looking back, it seemed so long ago that we had sauntered into room four and were initiated into Chorus. Our initiation began with attempts at deciphering our music, for it was a rare occasion when Mr. Griebenow would pound out the melody for us on the piano. Three weeks after classes began, warm ups consisting of “do-re-mi and tra-la-las” were routine. We spent many days preparing for our concerts, especially for the Oratorio in May. Report cards came and we looked for tha “B” grade that was our ticket intc Select Choir. Shipments of Gog gin’s candies came in and we sol; over $2000 worth; we went Chris: mas caroling on the mall ar: showed off our many talents r class talent shows. In Sele: Choir, our performances becan almost as routine as our war r ups. Even though certain days d ; not stand out in our minds, voc i music was a large part of wh made our years at Park special. 108 109 • Mixed Chorale Select Choir Chorus opposite: Top Left: Director of vocal nusic at Park for over thirty years, Gordon Griebenow conducts one of his last loliday season concerts before he e ires.

A Perfect Pit . . a time in the day for us to rest our minds and get those “sit in the desk all day” aches out.” In gym and health we truly had a physical education. Gym was a time in the day for us to rest our minds and get those sit in the desk all day aches out. Different parts of our bodies were used when it came to gym class. Feet came in handy for kicking the ball in soccer, gliding on cross country skis or in social and square dancing. Leg muscles were strengthened by pushing weights in Individual Conditioning. Biceps were enlarged by pulling the bowstring in archery, swinging the club properly in golf and hitting homer uns in slow pitch. Skills wert acquired by making the scon deuce and by throwing the touch down pass (the quarterback possi bly being the opposite sex of th receiver). In gym our minds wen not completely dormant, for w learned to cooperate in teams ant to be independent in individua sports. For those of us who too1 Leadership Training, the respon sibility of leading a group wa learned. The state laws were fol lowed by the health classes.

Park Home makers Industrialize “With the future in mind, students found that they could get a back ground in a variety of fields.” The whirr of sewing machines and printing presses, the buzz saws, the clang of pots and pans and the aroma of cooking were all sounds and smells created by Home-Ec and Industrial Art students. Taking these courses gave students respect for each other. “Shop regulars” learned that it was not easy to bake a perfect cake and “Suzy Homemakers” realized that making a table was not easy either. With the future in mind, students found that they could get a background in a variety of fields. To some, Home-Ec and Industrial Arts was a way of saving money by making what they could not buy.

Industrial Arts Very Special People In room 259, students who had learning disabilities were the important ones.” In the atmosphere of Park, it tended to seem like the only students who were special were those who excelled academically. In room 259, students who had learning disabilities were the important ones. Through the SLBP (Special Learning and Behavior Problems) program, students received assistance with any difficulties that they had with their schoolwork. This course was taken as an elective or as a replacement of a required course, for each individual had their own needs. Some outsiders of SLBP may have thought these students were “slow ; this definitely was a falsehood! These students were intelligent and just like the rest of the students, they were very special.

This was the key to unlock the doors of their working future. For two hours a day, five days a week, these students attended the Vocational Technical Center’s north campus in Brooklyn Park. There they received school credits for working and learning about themselves for themselves. They had assistance from Park’s Vo-Tech coordinator, Robert McKay and Counselor Darwin Kelley. At Vo-Tech students had the choice of becoming tomorrow’s builders, bankers, secretaries, commercial artists and much more. At Park, they had similar courses to the rest of its students, but they had a head start for the future, by attending the Vocational Center.

The ECHO attempted to explain the concepts behind mini-school, but we still had difficulty understanding just what the purpose was or what took place there. Like the rest of the school, mini-school had set their priorities. Mini-school offered its students an alternative to the traditional Social Studies and English programs. They studied subjects such as current events, social values and legal questions, wrote journals, read popular literature and discussed any topic they felt was relevant to them. We knew mini-school did not consist entirely of work and we often envied the varied opportunities they had. They learned to ski, carved pumpkins on Halloween for charity, cooked — and when time permitted, played football or soccer in the snow. Most of all, what we did not realize was that mini-school gave students a sense of confidence and belonging; something they did not always experience in the regular classes. Top: Working and discussing together plays a vital role in mini-school. Right: Lynne Larson finds that searching for resources can be a learning experience for her.

History Athletic Coordinator Throughout our school years we seemed to take our teachers for granted. It was a rare occasion when we showed appreciation for them — we skipped classes; handed in our assignments late and expected them to be sympathetic; and Monday mornings there was a struggle for our attention as we thought only of our weekend. It never crossed our minds that teachers gave homework for our benefit or that tests had any other purpose besides satisfying their need to correct papers. Think of the time that they spent planning lessons (although we insisted that they needn’t bother). They gave us their time and energy — helping us with our papers or spending time after school coaching our teams. . . . to be continued . . .

The 1977 Orioles boys’ soccer team didn't have the most victorious season in the Blue Lake division, but the area in which they excelled most was attitude. Not being able to play at their home field until the last game, a lack of fans and afternoon games didn’t stop Co-Captains Don Griwac and Matt Storm’s constant determination to keep up the team's morale. With Coach Augie Schmidt’s strong encouragement and inspirational sense of humor, the boys became a closely knit group, growing not only as athletes, but individuals as well. Not only was attitude a stronghold for the Oriole kickers, but their defense proved to be a challenge to all opponents. Demonstrating his “Yukon style, goal tender Kevin Wyman blocked many shots with two consecutive shut-out games against Eisenhower and Robbins-dale. Along with being given All-Conference honors, senior John Passolt was elected the most valu 124 125 • Boys'Soccer able player and best defenseman by his teammates. What plagued the Park soccer team was its inability to put together a combina-t on of players who could win consistently.

The ability to contain spikes and block shots became a plus during the season. The height in the front lines, which helped these abilities to show through, was provided by juniors Sue Kragseth and Linda Peterson. Together they combined power and talent to obtain a total of 89 spikes. As the levels of skills increased and the importance to hustle became evident, sophomores Monica Schmitz and Cheryl Larson were always there to make it happen. Both girls were named most improved players. When reg ular season play came to an end Coach Dallas Skaug’s Cowgirls had established a record of 6-7. Still to come were the Regional games. Twelve girls created the tournament squad. Among these were co-captain Cindy Yanagite 126 127 • Volleyball who earned the second highest point score average.

The bone chilling effects of one of Minnesota’s coldest winters did not hamper our diligent trekkers. Besides lacking warmth, the teams were lacking funds. But, things were held together by two new coaches, Pat Allar and Lyle Santelman. They also offered expert instruction to this year's larger teams of almost thirty members. Spirit was used as an anti freeze. Captains Cynthia Yanagita and Mark Chatterton made sure plenty of this natural elixir was always available when a team member was in need of encouragement.

This year’s Girls' Basketball team had the tallest girls, but a main drawback for the team was the lack of experience that was shown. The team was young and was trying to pull loose ends together. Diane Peterson, being one of the only three seniors on the Varsity squad, tried to give all she had learned on pre- vious years’ teams.

Making weight count “Trimming off up to twenty pounds in as short a time was just one of the many struggles...” Six minutes — may have seemed like a long time for the clock watcher who was impatiently waiting for the lunch bell to sound, or the student waiting for the bus as snow piled around his ankles. For the wrestler, though, six minutes was even longer, whether on the top or bottom of a pinning combination. Winning took more than determination, dedication and perseverance. Desire, strength, physical conditioning, skill and speed were the ingredients that made up a great Park wrestler. Trimming off up to twenty pounds in as short a time as two weeks was just one of the many struggles an Oriole grappler had to put up with. Adjusting to three different coaches in a three year period was difficult for the Orioles. This year's coach, David Scherer, a for mer World Armed Forces Wrestling Champion, demanded a disciplined squad and rewarded, but did not pamper a winner.

For a few, triumph prevailed by improving personal scores, but for most, there was no feeling of a winning team effort. With only three senior members and no chosen captain, the golfers were left under the direct leadership of their coach, Wayne Sundberg.

Are we robots flowing along with the other robots in our society? How many of us are free to ask controversial questions and remain unconcerned about other’s opinions? It’s an immaculate misconception that we all have to go out on Saturday night. What would someone think if we didn't? What if someone, somewhere, lights up a joint and we don't even pretend to get high. Are we confined to the rock group everyone else listens to? We can’t tell anyone we like Lawrence Welk because we would be laughed at. We often join youth groups to identify with our nationality, a common cause or religion. Here, we are more at ease and fit in quite well. Our lives are not only controlled by our peers, but also by countless numbers. Birth certificates, drivers licenses, credit cards, insurance policies, death certificates, even buying corned beef at the del is done numerically. Cnying when we are sad doesn’t mean we are babies; it means we are emotional. We laugh when we’re happy, don't we? As Josh Billings put it, “It is not only the most difficult thing to know oneself, but the most inconvenient. We need time to be free. Free from our friends, family, and teachers.

We were media-morphosized. The city and its media were constantly changing us. Mass media began as a way to keep society tuned in. However, it has gained tremendous powers of persuasion which have been used both constructively and destructively. By age 17, most of us have seen 15,200 people destroyed on T.V. Switching from one medium to another, we were pulled into a world of data for and about adults” — inflation, crime, bathing beauties and up-to-the minute news reports. The media took it upon themselves to lynch Bert Lance and rocket Star Wars to stardom. Star Wars became so popular that the show and its paraphernalia, from remote control toy robots to Halloween costumes, far surpassed the billion dollar mark. With billboards, commercials and newspaper ads, the advertising media attempted to sway our decisions as to which acne scrub to buy and whether to nosh’’ at the Brothers or the Lincoln Del.

We learned much about the real world' at Park simply by learning about Park. We experienced only a slice of the pie but within that slice was contained all of the ingredients that made the total pie. We had our academians, our sports heroes, our actors, writers and musicians. We dreamed our dreams and thought our thoughts. But what were our thoughts? That the winners would some day be losers and the losers become the envy of all? That somehow, someway, things would be different in the “real world” that was supposed to attack us somewhere in between high school and babies? But deep down, we knew that much of what we were was cemented in us. In many ways we were what we were going to become. Park was a microcosm of the macrocosm. 170 171 •Theme ■ Xc fit :. High School: Fontosy or Reality? “After their first taste, many found that Park wasn’t just a sweet dream, it was reality.” The first day. Many came with dreams of what Park would hold for them. After their first taste, many found that Park wasn’t just a sweet dream, it was reality. Inevitably, a few found themselves trapped in the first floor circle, seconds before class with no escape. Afterwards, when they finally reached class, all that was waiting for them was a weekend’s worth of homework. And yet, getting out of the humdrum routine of junior high was a welcome change. They saw that being at Park had its advantages. They were given the chance to make their own decisions about their school day, from shakes, pizza or a burrito, to whether or not t leave school during their prep time. When all was through, mos left their first year at St. Loui High School realizing it was wel worth the wait. Abel. Mark Abzug, Paul Ahmed, Zaitun Anderson.

Is there life after 2:30? “Unfortunately our after school activities didn’t always live up to our plans.” Many of us realized that school got tedious, and couldn’t wait for mod 16 to end. There were things to be done. The day had been spent making plans to shop or go to the Del for dinner. In reality we did neither of these. Instead we spent our free hours buying candy at Snyder’s and our dinner became one of the Campbell life. Unfortunately our after school activities didn’t always live up to our plans. A day of classes took its toll on our bodies. We had just spent six hours anchored in a desk and we all had a case of mental wipeout. When finally a' home, lying on the couch, Morr would come and yell at us foi being lazy.

For different people failure in certain areas hurt more than in oth- ers. Some of us tried out for cheerleading, auditioned for plays or applied for the Echo or Mandate. If we were rejected from any one of these activities it was a hard knock to our egos. And yet, failing once was not a permanent trend. There was always the opportunity to try again. There were more plays to try out for and P.S.A.T.s could be taken again. No’matter how badly we felt about what we couldn’t do, there was always the chance for success to bring us back up.

Until jr junior year, we weren’t as con-jrned about how the things we id would affect our future. We tay not have realized it, but one o many mistakes on tests meant ie difference between an “A” or ”B;” which in turn made our lass rank fall from the ninetieth lercentile to the seventieth. And yet, our successes far outshined our failures. Our junior year was the year that we finally saw many of our goals materialize. A few of us found a job that started us off in the field of our choice. While others felt a feeling of success at being involved in school activities and broadening our horizons. For many of us, one success at something that was important to us made the fear of failure seem insignificant and easy to overcome.

Our deas of culture differed. Some of js liked the Guthrie while others vent to a park. And some of us vent to both. We were on the erge of breaking our old habits. Sophistication and maturity eplaced the childish qualities we jnce had. At the Guthrie we dis- covered the intensity of culture through the complicated plots and flawless performances. It was there we found the sophistication we yearned for. We also found that our neighborhood park had just as much culture as the theater. It gave us simple beauty in the trees and the openness of space. We cleared our minds in the park. We also grew up. We each found our own kind of culture.

Graduation posed a dilemma. There we stood in silent confusion as we attempted to unwind and figure out where we were headed. For some of us, college or something similar was the answer. For others of us, school would no longer play a part of our lives. Travelling abroad, or working would satisfy our needs and desires. Still for others of us, it didn’t really matter where our roads led. We lived in mystery, unaware of our future, surviving only upon the present. We all chose a road to build, develop and learn by.

We wanted to eliminate all ignorance; so we ate its fruit. We took from it for twelve years, twelve years of our lives.

Ms. Smigala offered a class AP English, (advanced placement), which challenged a selected number of seniors to a college level English course. The difficulty of the class made the students well aware of their futures at college. The class consisted of three basic parts: discussion, analysis, and writing papers. The students would write their papers before the class discussion in order to enable them to arrive at their own interpretations. In this way, confidence was built upon, for in the discussion, each individual would defend his views At the same time, they learned tc become aware of others’ view and opinions. The class was tough one, but well worth th experience to most of the stu dents. After a year of such intensf study, they were ready for thei series of final exams which cor-sisted of five very difficult test However, the greatest challenge still remained.

In either case, we had no say in the matter as to what we wanted to be. We were juveniles for the first eighteen years and adults from that time on. But what were the advantages and disadvantages of belonging in either category? The advantages of being a juvenile were apparent. We weren't legally responsible for our own actions. so that made it all easier to have a good time. The disadvantages to being a juvenile were also apparent. We had no rights, we always needed parental permission for everything we did. We didn’t have a voice in a lot of the decisions our parents made, and if we did they often said, Well what does he know, he’s just a kid.” The advantages to being an adult seemed to far outweigh the disadvantages. We could vote, make our own decisions, and do just about anything without parental permis- sion. The disadvantages to being an adult were few but monumental.

We laughed and we cried; we hated and we loved. Suddenly a flash of light raced across the room almost as quickly as the twelve years which were behind us. A moment of fear? or perhaps con fusion? No, we knew where we going or at least we had an idea. We knew we would change, but change could only be measured by time. While taking a look at our selves, changes may have been obscure. We were all wrapped up in our individual worlds affected by those who surrounded us. As time passed us by, changes became more apparent. It was clear to us all; time ruled this game. And what about our friends? They too had a world which we all were a part of. Yet their worlds had changed too. To which worlds did we once exist, to which did we now exist, and to which would we continue to exist? Only we could answer that. And so we thought and thought, and upon our realization of how we’d changed, it frightened us to know that twelve years became real again only if we remembered the times we shared together, as the class of ’78. . . . to be continued . .

What forces motivated students to strive for good grades? The reasons for some students excelling in classes varied greatly. The student’s enjoyment of a particular subject resulted in the exertion o' more effort. Realizing the tasks to be done and having the persona drive to complete their academi subjects without letting outsid interests interfere was the key to their success. Their achievements were a result of high academic standards. A previous record of good grades compelled many students to do repeat performances.

Continuing to work was another direction taken by sen-ors. But there was another way to jo; the Armed Forces. The United States Army and Navy were Voices that other seniors decided jpon. Most of them had been 'iterested in these two outfits for at least one year, for some, many ears. Many reasons existed in the Hinds of these seniors for enlist- ing. Learning a specific skill and putting it to use was important to them. Despite physical and mental strain, CHALLENGE was the key word. That word alone had a clear definition, but the special meaning involved made the challenge more worthwhile. Traveling was a way to fulfill many dreams of adventure and a release from restrictive daily routine. A paid vacation of thirty days once a year was another plus. For those individuals who took advantage of the benefits of the service and completed their twenty years, a retirement at such an early age made them the envy of their peers.

A taste, of the. world . . considerably more enlightened as to the economic and political issues. . In our last year at Park High, we were given a choice in the Social Studies Department. We were told that we had to take two classes; one of which was either psychology or sociology. The other was chosen either from economics or political behavior. The main difference between these and other social studies courses that we had previously taken was that these classes were comprised totally of seniors. This was a nice change of pace after being in some classes that had a lot of underclassmen in them. In economics, we learned everything from Gompers and Meaney to supply and demand. We learned of the plight of the migrant worker and farmer. We finally discovered that the old word “inflation” had taken on new meaning, as did the AFl-CIO, preferred stock, corporation, the UMW, John Maynerd Keynes, Federal Reserve, etc. In the political behavior classes, we were learning the roles of political parties, candidates, incumbents, and local politics. We may not have seen the need for taking these classes in the beginning, but in the end most of us were considerably more enlightened as to the economic Scott Sklenar Sue Slattery Paul Smith Patricia Smrt Glen Skrivseth David Smith Iris Smirts Gary Snetsinger Cindy Silverman George Simon Theresa Sheehy Mark Sheidler Saralee Shrell Susan Sigel 238 239 • Seniors and political issues that concerned us.

Stayin' ftlive ‘‘The world was at our feet, and it was up to us to learn to use it to our advantage.’ We all needed something a bit different, and we searched for a way in which we could fulfill this need. It took plenty of creativity, a wise imagination and a positive outlook to be satisfied and content with the lives we led as seniors. By our twelfth year, we realized that high school had given us as much as we could possibly take and knew that it was already too much. School just wasn’t enough to keep us happy. It had provided us with a foundation, but it was up to us to build from there. We sought out our unique characteristics, experimented with our talents, and real- ized that the possibilities were limitless. The world was at our feet, and it was up to us to learn to use it to our advantage. We flew like birds and sailed like fish; never stopping until our dreams came true. We worked hard for what we wanted, and at times we accomplished nothing. Perhaps it was those times which kept us striving for a way to keep our lives exciting. Of course, we shared common interests and hobbies, but we all had something special which added to the individuality of our lives.

To Change Or Dot To Change “Having the courage to make those changes was what psychology was all about.” The psychology class was unique to St. Louis Park, and in turn to seniors. At the beginning of the semester, we formed small groups. These groups played a major role in the class. A particular arrangement such as the groups enabled each of us to get to know each other better. Working as a whole and learning to change as friction developed were specific reasons for these groups. Through group interaction, the goal of positive reinforcement was achieved.

The concepts of psychologists Freud, Skinner, Rogers and Maslow were studied. Given a chance to analyze each of their theories concerning human behavior, we related their philosophies to our own thoughts. Human problems, such as learning disabilities and mental health were other major areas that we studied. Each of us recognized that some aspects of our personalities occasionally needed changing. Having the courage to make those changes was what psychology was all about. Opposite: Top Left: A symbol for a group in Psychology class which represents part of each individual's personality.

There were times during our senior year when we felt completely helpless and confused by how quickly everything was happening, and we wondered how many of the senior activities were planned. What we didn’t know was that behind the scenes, doing most of the planning was the Senior Board. In the final semester of our senior year, we had enough problems and the Senior Board was there to take care of the tasks we didn't have time for. The board was in charge of helping with cap and gown measurements and planning commencement activities. The board's major undertaking was the Senior All-Night Party. They helped organize the all-parent committee and acted as coordinators between the committee and the school. The Senior Board was also instrumental in collecting student donations which were contributed to the Andy Droen Scholarship Fund. The Senior Board's existence wasn't always evident, but they still were a fundamental aspect of our final high school year.

More than 25,000 words were added to explain this year in your lives. It would not have been possible without the support and cooperation of: ANNE Her bright smile followed by constructive criticism kept Echowan “on track.” Anne Mueller of Taylor Publishing Company knew the answers to our questions. We thank her immensely. TAYLOR PUBLISHING COMPANY We must thank the thousands of unknown persons in Dallas, Texas, who took our quad-paks with scribbles and snapshots and made them into this finished product. PLETSCH We thank the Scherling-Pletsch photography studio for always being there when we needed their cameras, and for what seemed at times like an endless warehouse of film and paper. GORDON GUNLOCK Photography is a rare found skill. We thank Gordon Gunlock for aiding us with his extensive knowledge and appreciation of fine photography, always there with the answer when needed. FACULTY We abused you often with our passes signed by “Tormoen.” Thank you for accepting our needs as viable needs, and allowing us the “extra” time to get this book finished. JOEL We thank Joel for his way of calling us together on those few needed occasions, to look us in the eye, tear a picture up and throw it over his shoulder to remind us not to accept second best. M.C. ESCHER A very special thanks to the rights-holders of M.C. Escher’s work “Day and Night” which appears as endsheets in the 1978 Echowan. They granted us the rights for reproduction. OTHER PERMISSIONS Added thanks go to Saturday Review magazine for “The Nine Ages of Man” by Eric Andrews; to Symposium Records for the lyrics from “Childsmiles” by Lonnie Knight, to Combine Music Corporation for the words of “Movin” in the same Circles” by Robert Galbraith; and the Minneapolis Star and Tribune for their cooperation in providing several photographs. 250 251 • Index Andrew Droen zzidi - - f Fffl In his eighteen years at Park High, Andrew Droen earned a reputation as a hard working administrator and as a friend to both students and staff. Mr. Droen, fifty-seven, had been assistant principal since 1959 and principal since 1975. His death of a heart attack on Wednesday, December 14th, prompted an outpouring of sentiment from all who knew him. According to counselor Darwin Kelley, “Education lost a great and humane man when Andrew Droen died. ' “He put total trust in people,” said Eugene Wright, Athletic Director. “His office was always open.” Mr. Droen’s unending desire for a better school system led to many new programs. He is best known for starting Park’s “mod-flex” program. Most gently he set up smoking es for Park students, despite nance that outlawed them. , he implemented a new policy and began the Speaking” newslet-iding concern since ■sta or hfcspareer in 1945 in South Dakota, was always providing students with the best education possible. Mr. Droen also possessed a unique sense of humor that helped to keep everything in perspective. The school system and the community is a better place because of his life and unceasing dedication. • , To my cast of characters. Through it all — and I mean all — you’ve been great! Sometimes I wasn’t positive we’d make it to 1550 W. Mockingbird Lane on time, but we always did, thanks to Federal Express. I'm certain of one simple fact; through it all we gained a better understanding of the word comradery. We couldn’t do it alone, we needed each other. After all, what good is techni-croper without a grease pencil? Despite the arguments, the ruined negatives, the anxiety and the tears, we did it and we did it well besides! Anyone who wandered into 313 could feel it. It was warm and friendly, but it denied words. It was a yearbook in the making. And it was good. To major staff, travel with me back in time past the bicycle wheel end sheets, the immaculate misconceptions back to the Big Mac and to the Scratch ’n Sniffs. Our meetings always fol lowed a pattern, a cycle if you will. They went from bad to worse. To Esther — we didn’t always get along and I’m sorry we didn't. But we did create a theme section to be proud of. To Steve — the only boy I know who could plunge a meeting into total chaos simply by flashing Rick a sly grin. I know now not to let you have a bottle of Liquid Paper and a typewriter before a deadline, or chalk on a Friday afternoon. To Richard — you were by far the most taxing member of MS. You seemed — with the aid of illicit sources of caffeine — to do your theme pages almost overnight. Crawl back in your darkroom and see what develops. To Joel — I’d never disclose our little secret although I have been tempted. You provide a type of leadership and guidance that can never be duplicated, which is a mixed blessing, to be sure. By the way. where did you park your El Cam-mo? Every morning I walk into the ECHOWAN office and I wonder, just for a minute, why we do it. Everything strewn on the floor, tables, etc. And then I know; We’re sadists. But that’s ok. I knew all along we’d do it. It took a little more than we had to give but we did it and made a yearbook besides! Thanks a lot! Congratulations, . . . to be continued . . . a cast of characters Editor.............
