In our school, gossip and the news of a party spread quickly and it was not long before everyone knew what was supposed to be kept quiet. But. whether we knew it or not. news was a part of our lives. While we thought that earth-shaking events were the only things that made up the news, we in Park made the news in the things we did too. In this book, we will see ourselves as the focus of the news. We will see ourselves in our every day existence: the activities, the sports and the people that made up the 1978-79 school year. “And now we interrupt this regular broadcast to bring you the following Special Report:” To Dote Si I weekend update Things to do for. . .

October 1978 . . .Up until seven months ago school spirit at Park was bottled up. Then, the Orange Crush frenzy of the Boys State Basketball Tournament shook up our school until the spirit exploded — we had figuratively. popped our cork. We had surprised the media, the community and even ourselves that our seemingly apathetic school could overflow with so much spirit. After that. Park was never quite the same. The tournaments ended and the cork was put back on the bottle, but the ingredients remained active. Memories of Orange Crush lingered on, and Orange Power was added to our vocabulary. Spirit was not confined to wearing Orange and Black and cheering at games — it existed in the behind the scenes efforts that made activities successful. Students spent their M.E.A. break building sets, they drilled for soccer in 90° heat and members of the KDXL staff were at school and ready to broadcast by 6:30 a.m. Never before had so many people participated in Homecoming activities. Activity buses were full, since being involved was the ‘'in thing to do. The enthusiasm and desire to make St. Louis Park 1 in everything was there. We were just waiting for some special event that would shake up the brew and make our school spirit explode once more. AO©0 tlMJc Coming Up Shortly...

Acfmfiei Division: 10 11 AN INSIDE VIEW Standing here now I can remember what it was like. Except for the people everything is the same, the oohs and ahs. the traditional walk and all the feelings. I tried to be calm but the jitters began as the first name was announced. I wondered if I would trip and if I would remember to curtsey at the right time. I hoped my escort would take my hand — especially since everyone seemed to be watching me. Now the lights are dimming and the music is starting. I can feel the tension increase as the candidates begin their procession. They look beautiful in their formals and suits. They walk up the steps and bow to David and me. I could burst. What a secret! I can't wait to pass the crown over their heads. How long should I wait before I put it on Sara's head? They all look anxious standing there, trying not to show it. David has already begun the crowning. There it goes. Dick looks stunned. Now it’s my turn. Very slowly I'll move the crown back and forth over their heads ... Let the anticipation grow. Listen to the audience squeal. Sara, congratulations! I'm so happy for you. The robe looks like it was made for you. Up Front They look so excited walking back down the aisle. I didn’t realize there was music as we walked down the aisle. I wonder if Dick and Sara noticed? Everyone is congratulating them. They look genuinely happy though the candidates must feel a little sad. I'm sad too. But, all the memories will last forever in many ways. Opposite: Top Left: CROWN AND SCEPTOR BEARERS: B Strauman.

Homecoming 78 didn't begin with a pebble, a stone, or a rock, but with a prehistoric boulder featuring the Flintstones. From Monday, Up Front September 25, through Friday the 29. the Flintstones popped up in every corner uncovering what was in store. For one week of the year there was something happening every night at Park. Monday night, the Flintstones witnessed the first annual volleyball tournaments which CeCe Krelitz and Mimi Winger, chairpersons, had helped to promote. The crowd could watch six different games in progress with over 150 participants. The Tuesday night Pie-Eating Contest had the biggest crowd in its seven year history, everyone agreeing that the contest was a smashing success. Excitement built toward Coronation, with the question of, Who will be crowned King and Queen? The answer came on Wednesday night as Richard Maas and Sara Bonde emerged as the new royal couple. On the agenda for Thursday night was the soccer game with Park losing a close game by 3-1 to Edina West. Varsity Show entertainment during Friday's pep fest put the students in an enthusiastic mood for the night’s game. As game time grew closer, the stands started to fill with football fanatics, parade watchers and loyal fans. he loss. 7-0 to Edina West, left e crowd disappointed because, super plays.

We knew it would be a good day when we could bounce out of bed at the first ring of our alarm or when we found our breakfast ready for us. Having the answer that nobody else knew, or getting a note from a secret admirer made us feel good. When we were happy everything seemed to be better. However I In Front Sad and Grumpy Down in the Dumpy . . . Ah yes, those school day blues. Many days we woke up and didn’t even want to get out of bed. The prospect of facing a test-filled day or knowing we wouldn’t be home until after 6:00 p.m. put a damper on our good spirits. To top it all off, we missed the last activity bus. When we finally sank into bed, we hoped that the next morning would start out right. SodHoppy: 16 17 k Link to Power With the beginning of a new school year came a new Student Council with ambitious ideas. Some members attended the high school Regional Student Council convention in Osseo and came back with improvements such as parliamentary procedures. Goals were set to carry out students, faculty and the council’s own wishes. For one thing Council helped the student body fight for equal use of the parking lot. Vandalism and the food issues were brought to the council by the Faculty Senate for their view point. To help students having trouble in class, Student Council instigated a student aide program. The budget cuts were often a part of the agenda. Working with the different groups gave the council an insight into what is involved in the government. Top Lett: Sophomores: Bottom Row: L. Rotman.

Trying to make people want to come out and root for the team is one thing, but succeeding is another. The cheerleaders formed a very special family consisting of 40 boys and girls. One goal of the cheerleading squad was to get everyone involved in some sort of school activity. Sponsoring and raising money for a Sadie Hawkins Dance, and selling Park Spirit” t-shirts, was their way of starting off the year. They dotted the school in their orange and black uniforms reminding people of a game to be played later that day. Painting signs to inform people of the week ahead and cheering at pep tests were other ways that they instilled a sense of Park spirit in all. Early one morning, the cheerleaders T.P.'d the boys locker room, which they later paid for by having to clean their mess up, upon the order of Assistant Principal Miller. Practicing three times a week helped to perfect their cheers. The boy cheerleaders used their gymnastic abilities to form unique pyramids. It also gave them time to create a variety of entertainment for pepfests with the help of their new adviser, Anita. Always keeping the cheers loud and alive they often drowned out the other teams’ cheerleaders. “After some of the games it takes me a whole night to settle down . . Up Front The “We've got spirit ...” cheer has never tost out for Park. Going far above what is expected of them, cheering in the rain. hail, and freezing temperatures showed how dedicated they were to the school.

Being a Parkette meant becoming a part of a tradition which began as a girl entered Parkettes the summer before her sophomore year. As the youngest, she had much to learn — shorts for the Viking games, dances for the basketball games, and numbers for the big spring trip. She had little to say about what went on in Parkettes. Her junior year she had a little more responsibility. She became the teacher. Finally, her senior year came. She was the Up From oldest and most experienced. This was the year to make improvements. to be a unit leader; she had worked hard to earn senior privileges. She had hated it and loved it; yet. her last year made it all worthwhile. This was all part of the tradition. One tradition that did change was the Parkettes' costume.

Some of the teams were composed of people in an organized group, but many of the teams were made up of friends. There was no limit to the number of players on a team as long as during play the correct people were on the floor. Like A Pro Why join intermurals? The main reason was for something to do on a Monday night. Others joined because they liked to play but weren’t good enough or didn’t want the discipline involved in an inter-scholastic team. Yes. The last night of the volleyball tournament when it came time for the playoffs, one of the teams had gone home. The game was rescheduled for the next Monday night and the tournament was finished. Up Front Who are they? Top Left: Eric Lincoln. Top Right: Greg Gray and Dave Thomas. Bottom Left: John Murakami and Dave Strombeck. Bottom Right: John Murakami and Al Wachutka. Who was in charge? The intramural program was sponsored by the Athletic Department. Anita Silbert was present at all the games to make sure things ran smoothly. She was also in charge of getting people to sign up and of arranging the tournaments. Was it too competitive? There were two views on the competitiveness of intramurals. Some thought that it got too competitive and quit, while others thought it wasn’t enough competition. It all depended on whether you were playing to win or whether you were playing for fun. What intramurals were offered? There was volleyball, basketball, and broomball. Volleyball and broomball were on Monday nights and basketball was on Wednesday nights. There was also soccer and softball intramurals but the first three were the most popular.

There were nine members in the club. Five of these nine competed with area schools in the Tuesday meets. The other players substituted when needed.

One of the scariest things about the first day. is going into class and knowing you won’t know anyone. These problems faced the students that entered Park in 1978-79. To help these students feel more at ease, the Welcome Committee provided guides. The guides were responsible for showing new students around school, explaining school prodecures, and introducing them to other students. But this was all the committee could afford to do. Lack of money was the reason there were no parties for the students this fall. Dick Ashley, adviser, wanted to do more and hoped the Student Council would finance the committee and provide student leadership in future years. However, in 1978-79, the committee assisted in “welcoming” between 65 and 70 new students. Top: WELCOME COMMITTEE: Bottom Row: J. Mcknight, L. Yaeger. K. Anderson. B. Griwac. K. Wesemann. J. Pierce.

Maybe if Norman would get involved in an activity he would learn how to act with other people (a smart man). DAY 3: Norman decides to make his first bid into the social world. A teacher named Joel Tormoen seems to understand Norman's problem and thinks that student council would do him good. Norman does well academically and finds the meetings intriguing. He appears to be happier now (but, I wonder why the desks by him are empty) DAY 4: Norman, now meeting many people want to learn some self- confidence. He decides to try dramatics. Mr. DeClercq listens to Norman's experience and talents. He decides to give him a part in the new play. Norman learns much about self-expression on or off the stage. He has a good memory and learns his lines quickly. He gets along well with the rest of the cast. They respect him for doing so well on the play. (I was surprised. He was quite impressive) DAY 5: Norman, now feeling very confident, decides to improve himself physically as well as mentally. He tells Scott Aaseng that he would like to be on the Cheerleading squad. DAY 6: Norman looks totally content and is well accepted by his peers. CONCLUSION: Norman has become a new person. Being with people in a school activity has made a big difference. He has learned a lot about being with people Norman has changed from an introvert to an outgoing student.

It was hard for the people cast in both of the plays to memorize all the lines and to keep them with the right play. There were sets to be made and help to be given backstage while the other play was being run. The plays traded nights for two weekends giving each a total of four performances. Pete Peterson directed both plays. He felt the reason for two plays was that if any of the cast went on to somewhere like the Guthrie what they had learnec from doing two plays could help them. Both plays were put on with great success and were wel, received by their audiences. Top: AN ITALIAN STRAW HAT: Front Row: D. Preston. L. Wexler. J. Thomas C. Heise. M Levin. A. Schwartz. L.

The Kino and I. performed four nights in November, was the story of a king, played by Paul McQuaid, and his love for his country, Siam. The cast brought the audience back to the 1800’s a time of many changes for Siam. Many people thought his country barbaric and in need of change. He hired an English school mistress to teach his children of modern and scientific” ways of living. The king was surprised at this independent woman. She brought many ideas with her of western morals such as monogamy and just punishments for the guilty. She also found the eastern mannerism of bowing to the floor before the king very degrading to his subjects. The king was a chauvinistic man and refused to admit Anna was right. Having ten wives he thought he knew all about women until he met Anna. He found a special warmth in this dominant woman different from any other women. In the broadway musical, singing was a major part of the play. Park’s cast chose to feature dancing with Julie Rappa-port anu Dave Anderson as leads. The audience responded with Up From smiles, laughter and some had tears in their eyes as the curtain went down on Siam, the end of the king’s generation and the beginning of a new Siam.

Free To Be You And Me , directed by Pete Peterson, was a celebration of the fact that every boy and every girl is free to be whomever or whatever he or she wants to be. The cast, thirty strong, worked hard to show the audiences that those myths about people just aren't true. Girls can be firemen while boys can be cocktail waiters; boys can cry and not be called sissies while girls can climb trees and not be called tomboys. The cast, calling themselves the Trunk and Trailer Theatre Group , took the play to all the St. Louis Park grade schools. The reactions to the play were varied. Some children were terrified of those strange people who sat and sang to them; yet some were eager to get up and sing with them. The message they spread was that people should do what they want to and not what others tell them to do. Each actor got to practice that philosophy in the performances. This meant ad-libbing lines and creating their own expressions for each skit. This [made the play different each time it was put on. Yet. no matter how different the performances were, the goal was still the same: To make sure nobody lost the little bit of free spirit they still possessed. Opposite: Top Row: Stacey Dinner.

Changes came partly because of the paper’s 50th anniversary. For many students it was their initial contact with a school newspaper. The staff wanted to fill the paper with news and entertaining stories. The paper included articles on how to select a college, course changes, student council goals and the political races of '78. On the lighter side (or page four) there were the “Vegetarian Restaurant reviews. Dudley Riggs comedy and Park’s very own “Profiles . ECHO members were never satisfied with the paper as it was. They rearranged, changed and added sections in order to present an up-to-date paper. Oriole Cookies and People. Places and Things were changed to No Strings Attached and Park Here . No Strings Attached had no single mold or style and Park Here gave brief statements about news and people within the school. A new logo was added to give the paper a fresh look. It had to be happening now and have a slant of prominence for the school. Sometimes, stories such as the one on sororities became controversial. but freedom of the press was the golden rule. The staff worked long and hard to present a new. informative and interest-arousing student newspaper.

MANDALA, the literary arts magazine, gave students the chance to exhibit their talents. MANDALA was offered as a class this year for the first time since its start 11 years ago. With the creation of the course, more was expected from its members. Each staff member was taught techniques in the art of judging the different kinds of entries. Submissions started during the week of March 3. In order to raise money, “Mandala-grams” were sold for Valentine's Day and Guthrie season tickets were sold. Any sophomore, junior, or senior, was eligible to submit poems, short stories, photographs, or art work. Each submission was judged by the 16 student staff members and Sharon Warner, their advisor. There was also judging help from teachers in the school. The MANDALA was the school's book, composed by students for students. J. Ondich, senior, editor. The MANDALA staff members do various jobs.

Such talk would seem like a foreign language to many Park Students, but to members of Junior Achievement it was their second language. Each Monday night members of JA became part of the business world. The three companies, Wood World, Cuddly Critter and JAPPCO. were self-run businesses, setting their own sales goals, buying their own stock, keeping their own records, and at the end of the year, liquidating the companies. Though membership fell from 80 to 50. the enthusiasm did not diminish. Many weeks the demand for their products exceeded what the companies could produce. Under the supervision of Jack Holmberg and advisers from the sponsoring companies. they worked extra hours to try to meet those demands. Along with the hard work, there were also social activities. Hayrides, lockins at the Y.M.C.A., and conventions were other ways JA members from all over the state could meet each other and share business news while starting new friendships.

(Minnesota Office Education Association) was a little known group to most Park High students, it was very important to those involved in it. Like the other work programs, they had a one hour class in the morning dealing with things that would be helpful in their jobs. In the afternoon they went out to work for anyone in need of some part-time secretarial help. Their work consisted mostly of typing, filing, answering phones, making appointments and taking dictation. Skills were not the only things emphasized. Relationships with the employers and co-workers were also stressed. For some, the money they earned would be used to go to business college, while others planned on staying in their present job working for a promotion later on. Top: M.O.E.A. OFFICERS: Bottom Row: C.

A Chance To Try D.E.C.A. — Distributive Education Clubs of America gave the chance to practice what was learned. D.E.C.A. members went to an hour long class in the morning and in the afternoon went out and worked for local companies. Each student earned two full credits for the course. The students were not only earning money but were working at improving employer employee relationships. Students worked mostly in merchandising and sales fields. But what the D.E.C.A. organization was most famous for was the store it operated in the foyer. In the store they sold Class of 79 t-shirts, gym clothes, calendars, and scarves. One of the favorite activities of the D.E.C.A. club was the party given during the holidays for all the children at the Phyllis Wheatley Day Care Center.

They were all involved in the plan: cowboys, saloon girls, gunfighters and, of course, the innocent by-standers. Western dress-up day costumes varied from cowboy hats and plaid shirts to a few rhinestone cowboy outfits, spurt included. The week broke a few records for all-time low temperatures, but several Park cowhands could be found on the ice running after a ball at the broomball tournament. Sophomores broke a tradition by defeating both the junior and senior broomball teams. It was a close game, ending finally with a shootout. The Parkettes added a bit of the old west with a country dance at the Western Days pepfest. A band called Cabin Fever finished the week with a shindig held at school. Like the pioneers going west, those who went to the Western Days activities found fun and excitement; many who stayed home regretted it when they found out what they had missed. Top: Bottom Row: S.

Because of the school's financial problems the Backgammon Club was totally independent of school financial aid. Jeff Fink and Steve Rice, seniors, began the club on their own. They started with two members and their weekly roster grew to eight in a few months. The members enjoyed getting together: for some, to learn the game for others, to challenge each other in tournaments. They hoped to expand to interscholastic tournaments when Backgammon Clubs were formed in other schools. According to Dave Linne. advisor. “Backgammon is definitely a game of the future. “Some came to learn, some to sit and watch. I was the one who just sat.” Western Doy� Bockgammon: 52 53 . . to chew gum: Never have more than one piece of gum in your mouth at a time unless you want to be referred to as a cow by everyone that you happen to slobber on. Chew your gum with your mouth shut using slow motions as if you are enjoying the piece of gum immensely. Don't try to be sexy. It never works.

Walk with your head erect, your motions smooth and easy, knowing but not caring that the entire class is watching you. Don’t cause the class to pause for you; simply place the tardy slip on the teacher's desk and head for your own place in the room without looking around. Never act scared or nervous.

The 80 students in Concert Band knew these words and actions as well. At 8:00 in the morning a jumbled sound of horns, woodwinds and drums could be heard echoing down the halls. All of the noise miraculously fell into place with the first sound of the chord played in unison. That note represented the beginning of practice. The Band practiced for six various concerts to be performed throughout the year. They began with Open House in October and ended with a tour in May. This year’s tour took the band to Columbia Heights High School and the St. Cloud Veterans Hospital. Eleven outstanding saxophone players and a tuba solo by John Humphry, senior, were featured at these performances. Before the year was over Concert Band, under the direction of Ger-ald Rood, in his sixth year, mastered more than 50 selections. For romance the band played muse such as “Scheherazade” by Rini-sky-Korsakoff, and for more contemporary music they played “MacArthur Park” using a disco Up Front beat. After practicing for 160 mornings, satisfaction came with the opportunity to perform what they had worked so hard to perfect. Opposite: Top: CONCERT BAND: Row One: J. Berman. L. Anderson, M Riley. 0.

Oriole Band and Orchestra strove for musical professionalism by practicing long hours and learning to play difficult pieces. Jerome Rood, Oriole Band director, encouraged his students to learn new musical skills which enabled them to advance in their instrumental ability. Orchestra students were groomed for the many concerts they presented during the year. George Chlebecek, Orchestra director, felt that the Orchestra had developed into a unit pursuing a common goal of presenting the best concert possible. The Orchestra played mostly classical music while the Oriole Band played more contemporary works. In both cases all the musicians developed musical skills and grew in learning during the year.

We’re orange and black, Park High . . . everybody in our school sings this song from time to time but few live it like the members of the Varsity Band. Even when they didn’t have their uniforms on, we could still pick them out from their cheering in that northeast section of the bleachers in the gym or the spot behind the 50-yard line on the athletic field. They had a tradition: spirit, and this year's band lived up to it well. Everyday in the fall during mod 10, the Band would be on the field practicing its marching formations, even in September when the temperature hit 95°. Students in classrooms could hear bits of music floating through the air. The flag girls, with their new uniforms, were a visible part of the Band this year. The many hours of hard work they put in on their complex routines earned them letters. The group’s npi.-it got them jobs outside the school too. They were chosen to kick-off the Jubilee Sale at Daytons in Ridgedale and the United Fund Drive of the Twin Cities at Orchestra Hall. Besides keeping things lively with their marching and cheering the Band brought enjoyment to Park through concerts. Along with other music groups in school, they participated in the Music Festival. All grade school and junior high students were invited to see and hear what senior high music was all about. In the Pops Concert, members of the Band got to show off their other talents such as dancing, singing and comic acting. They played serious music in the formal Spring Concert.

Both students and custodians wondered what the sounds were, who was making them and why they were made. Depending on the time of night, passersby might have heard a blues number by Count Basie, a Zappa ballad or a chart by Strickland. If they decided to venture into the room, they saw 20 musicians from Park cooking and jamming to the scats and shouts of director Lance Strickland. Much of the hard work was in preparation for performances at the elementary schools and junior highs as well as for the Jazz Fest in the spring. Members of Jazz Ensemble practiced primarily to learn more of what jazz was all about and to learn to “cruise” with the music. Top: JAZZ ENSEMBLE MEMBERS: Bottom Row: A. Rosenauer, L.

Both the Mixed Chorus and the Select Choir were regular classes with one credit given for the year. Mixed Chorale was an extra-curricular activity requiring much time and talent from its members. All the choirs performed for the annual Winter Music Festival. the Winter Concert, two performances of The Creation, and the Spring Concert. The choirs did other things besides concerts. In September a Homecoming float was entered in the parade. November came and with it the annual Goggin’s candy sale. Right before winter vacation members c the choir sang on the Mall.

A senior is one who knows not. and knows not that he knows not. One would think that seniors would be the most capable of defining themselves. Not true. In fact, seniors were the most confused of those surveyed: My senior year is going too fast. This year is dragging. Being a senior is just like everyone tells you it will be. Nothing anybody tells you about being a senior is true. We are the ones with all the problems. Seniors have it easy. Almost time for the real world, isn't it?

One by one, challengers were defeated, or truces were called, and sometimes, failure was inevitable. Often, when it seemed that victory was near, obstacles put a freeze on the play. Fouls were called: an application was received too late, the test score was not high enough, seniors’ expectations had been too high, last minute decisions had to be screened by careful calculations. The strength of the challengers could not be forgotten. A knock down was necessary for victory, but only possible if seniors remained completely confident of themselves. As individual players, seniors had to consider themselves best for the job, for the college. and for the title. After all known challengers were put before the anxious seniors and into perspective, new, more difficult challengers appeared. Challenger: to be satisfied with title attained.

As the photographer experimented with different head tilts and various body angles, smiling became increasingly difficult. The mouth tended to smile sideways and the cheeks became indented as the photographer moved the head. Visions of seniors in pretzel-shaped haunted the minds of some. Was this for initiation into the Senior Class? Or was it purely for the entertainment of the photographer? Oh well. . . it was all part of being a senior.

This was more than any other high school in Minnesota and five times the national average. To qualify as semifinalists, seniors had to receive a high score on the PSAT NMSQT test. National Merit Scholarships were sponsored and financed by corporations, charitable foundations, professional associations, and universities. The dollar amount of the scholarships awarded was determined by the college choice, financial need, scholastic test scores and school records. One semifinalist endorsed the competition saying, Many colleges will approach Merit Scholars for enrollment and financial help that they would not otherwise receive.” In whatever scholarships they received of decisions about their future, their diligence anj achievement paid off.

Monica Gouvea did not once utter, I'm sick of this school. Katrina Jonason never reminisced about last year's basketball tournament, and Martin Martensson was never heard griping about the new final exam schedule. It was not because Gouvea wanted to stay in high school forever that she did not say those familiar words. Jonason does like basketball, and Martensson does not enjoy final exams. So why the strange behavior? These seniors were subject to a circumstance that the majority of Park’s seniors could never imagine. Gouvea, Jonason. and Martensson were the foreign exchange seniors of 1978-79. They became the victims of such things as not knowing who or where their American ‘‘family would be until the day of departure. They were constantly reminded of their unfamiliarity. Jonason once asked what slang words meant on a t-shirt, and regretted it soon after. Brazilian Gouvea has to adjust to the bland school lunches, much different from the spicy food of her native country.

Thinking about the question for a second, the child replied with the common answers, a nurse, a teacher, a fireman, or a policeman . As the child grew older, answers to the question varied and took more thought. Then the senior year arrived and the childhood fantasies of careers disappeared. The classes they were taking influenced their decisions. New fields were introduced through sociology. psychology, and economics classes. The question was no longer an easy one to answer. Numerous decisions had to be made before answering the old question. Should one go to sone kind of school or join the army or the. navy in order to pursue a career? For those not ready to co on to school, would traveling for a year be more beneficial? (After a I. they did have thirteen years of school behind them.)

Fid-dler was Raymond’s third show at Chanhassen. After being involved with the Minneapolis Children’s Theater Company for eight years, Raymond also made tapes called industrials, in which she portrayed teenagers with problems. These tapes were used for educational purposes. For her work, Raymonc received from $100 week to $135 an hour.

However, this year things had changed and seniors found they had to start over again. They finally thought they figured out the lunch procedure when suddenly seniors were embarrassed by having to leave their trays behind to get a ticket. The teachers were tightening up on the skipping rules and sent notes home faithfully. Report cards told more than grades. They recorded the absences for each class and included a comment from each teacher. By the time things became routine again it was time to graduate. Top: Extra information is not an asset t the student owning this report card Opposite: Bottom: Another thing tha had changed was that teachers had des ignated parking spaces.

Is it a pair of slacks, a beautiful woman on Charlie’s Angels, or a model on a poster? In our minds all of us perceive the same objects in many different ways. This also held true of different people’s perception of seniors. A ninth grader observed seniors with awe and some fear. After all, these were the people with the power, the oldest in the high school. The librarians saw seniors as working harder, really bound to their books and knowing how to research and study, especially those who wor- ried about graduating in June. When the principals were asked, they perceived seniors to have gained confidence from their three high school years. The sophomores saw seniors as having more privileges and freedom than they felt seniors deserved, but found themselves really looking forward to becoming seniors. The counselors remarked that they enjoyed working with the seniors most because of their level of maturity and growth. While teachers found seniors anxious to try something new, yet often suffering from “senioritis”. The hall monitor at Park High observed seniors as impatient to leave, whether for the day or forever. And far differen: from others’ perceptions of seniors was the view seniors had of themselves. They tried to look sophisticated, confident, sell assured and superior to all. Thus every view of the senior was differ ent depending on people's age occupation, or their personal con tact with seniors. Whose view wa right? No one can answer tha question.

But the results were rot always pleasant. Seniors t ecame confused when the tech-r ques did not work, as in the fol-k wing situation: Senior: Boy, you look depressed! Want to talk about it? Innocent by-stander: No, I don't want to talk about my problems, I don’t even have any problems, and I happen to be having a great day! Who do you think you are going around accusing people of being depressed? Leave me alone! After such experiences seniors had to exhibit self-control, and spent more time analyzing themselves for fear of losing their remaining friends. In 1989 at the ten year reunion of the senior class, it will be interesting to see how many of these aspiring Freuds do, indeed, become psychologists.

All had their special dreams and goals set for themselves, whether it was climbing Mt. McKinley, as Mark Ede wished he could do, or being a professional golfer as Dave Thomas fantasized for himself. For others, traveling was their hope for that special some day. Seniors realized that they probably couldn’t fulfill some of their dreams so they had other ambitions set for themselves. Julie Gold dreamed of becoming a child psychologist but thought she’d end up becoming a bookkeeper. Janet Kleinbaum thought being a drummer in a large rock band would be exciting but believed that she’d end up in some sort of social work Thus seniors had their goals planned out to some degree. But whether they were realistic or idealistic here are some of the facts that would affect their dreams they had.

FACT: More and more of the elderly will continue to work after the age of 65 instead of retiring. Facts were constantly changing to fit the times. These facts helped to determine the fate of the dreams of the people in the class of '79. Bottom: Checking out one of his future dreams.

Friends stuck together for one last year... It hit seniors hard to hear, “Try to keep in touch.” In their minds, seniors knew they might not do so.

They marked the end of the 70’s. When last year's seniors were in third grade they experienced a change in the voting age which enabled many of them to vote in the 78 elections. Three years later, when the senior class was in sixth grade, they witnessed the end of the Vietnam War. Then, during their seventh grade year, they observed the Watergate scandal which later ended Nixon's administration. Along with milestones, seniors experienced the fads of the 70’s. A large part of the fads was the distinct change in music. The music had a strong beat and was primarily dance music which made disco the most popular nev music of the decade. The popula movies of the 70's that cause much discussion and attentioi were movies like Love Story. Exor cist and more recently Star Wars The dress code also changed a Ic in the 70's. The seniors wen dressed more casually with mini skirts “out and Calvin Klein jean; “in . Another big change of the 70’s existed right within the stu dent body of Park High.

A teacher from the math lepartment said that the 60’s were i stressful period because of the Vietnam War and seniors are much more relaxed and down to earth now. Another teacher who taught 12th grade social studies responded that they have become more conservative and that it is easier to teach now because of a more open communication between seniors and teachers. Finally, another teacher from the English department said that the responsibilities are now more on the seniors which creates much unsureness within them about the future. All those changes that existed in the 70’s: changes within the government, changes of popular fads, or changes right within Park High, influenced the class of 1979. They will always be remembered.

Getting out of his electrotram, Mitch Hofstedt, who had just arrived, was filled with excitement, anticipation, and even nervous jitters. Mitch tried to keep his cool, as he made his way to the room where his 20 year class reunion was to be held. It had been two decades since he had seen or heard from many of his classmates. There would surely be many changes that had occurred since the Senior All-Night Party. The party was a dim image in Mitch’s mind as he stepped onto the escalator. Soon, flashes of the All-Night Party were obscured by questions that flooded into his head: Who would be gray? Who would be bald? Which high school sweet-hearts had endured the years? How many children did people have? Wha-kind of occupations had people decided on during college? Were they the same careers they hac tried so hard to decide on in thei senior year?

No, it was just the juniors doing their class yell. No other class has ever yelled the juniors say we’re going to win like the juniors of 78-79. They helped to make crowds come alive during games and pep tests. The juniors proved it wasn’t just the players that made a winning season but also the fan support. They came prepared to every game with all their excitement: they screamed cheers at the top of their lungs, clapped till their hands were beet red, and yelled till they had no voices left. Some said they were a class with too much rowdiness but to their thinking no one can ever have too much spirit.

Many students solved this problem by developing an expertise at cheating. Here are some of their methods: 1. When making up a test in a resource center, students had friends nonchalantly walk in. sit by them, and read off notes. 2. Students wrote down notes in places they could see during a test: their hands, desks, arms, pencils, the bottom of shoes, or inside glasses. 3. Students that had older brothers or sisters who went to Park How They Got Away With It found their old tests and memorized them. 4. In biology lab tests when questions asked for the identification of a slide, the label on the slide was covered by a slip of paper so students couldn't see it. They removed the paper, read the label, and told the teacher that the paper had been off before. 5. Students had friends call the office and leave a message timing it so that they would have to leave class during a test to pick up the message. On the way to the office, the student stopped by their lockers to look at their notes. Another form of cheating was communication: getting an answer from another person, but remembering to get it from someone smart. There were several meth- ods to this form too. 1. During math tests, students communicated with calculators. They punched in the number of the question they needed, then handed it to a friend who punched in the answer and handed it back. 2. Students learned sign language, especially good for multiple choice problems. 3. Students sat by each other when taking tests in language labs. They recorded answers on tape then switched headphones. 4. Also, there was one-way-communication: copying someone’s paper. With so many methods for cheating, anyone that failed deserved it!

I am a junior at Park High and have the biggest crush on a boy in my fourth hour chemistry class. It seems he doesn't even know I’m alive. He is really popular, a jock, and one of the top students in our class. I. on the other hand, am shy and not involved in any school activities. Every day I wait until my fourth hour to see my Mr. X. After my third hour I race down the hall to the chemistry rooms to be thr first in class to get the best view o Mr. X as he walks in. Day after da} I tell myself I will walk right up tc him and start a conversation abou the great job he did in the basket ball game the day before. I lose m} nerve and walk away. I really wan to get to know this guy but I don' know how to go about it. I neec your help really soon before I die of a broken heart. — Hopelessly in Love — Clot Up Krueger. Valene Kruzei.

I would recommend you become a little more friendly and outgoing with people. Another thing, don’t be the first one in your chemistry class. Walk in late so the whole class has to wait for you to take your seat. Instead of you having the best view of Mr. X, let him have the best view of you. Then find out his class schedule so you can be in the halls of his classes. Constantly walk down the hall where his locker is. You’ll have to get involved in school activities. Join the girls’ basketball team. That way you’ll have something in common to talk about. Make arrangements to shoot free throws after school when you know he'll be in the gym. If he doesn’t get the message by now he's not worth the sweat. Remember that loves conquers all. — Abby — Opposite: Center: Jan Nerenberg, junior. dreams that her Mr. X might one day ask her out.

Suzanne This is Only A Test Terms like multiple choice and True-False were a common, yet never comfortable, part of our students’ vocabulary. True-False was always a 50-50 chance, while multiple choice could easily be renamed multiple guess. Tests were said to determine a level of success, yet tests were not an accurate way to evaluate a person's abilities. All had learned to face cold Minnesota winters and a flat tire on the way to school. But when it came to one of Mr. Smith's essay tests even the toughest seemed to avoid it at any cost. So they would write chemistry formulas on their hands, while others would spend hours memorizing their math tables. The inevitable essay question was dreaded by al and completion was no joy either And then it came, that lone dreaded and feared final. No more time for cramming, no more time to review.

All directions are written on the top of your test. Someone was always sharpening a pencil as everyone began. Suddenly the test takers couldn't remember where, or who they were. Oblivious to all surrounding distractions, most lost themselves in their tests, and reawoke when the period was over.

Most pranks happened in the classroom. Because of the chemicals and bunsen burners available. chemistry rooms were excellent breeding places for mischief. Chemistry students often made explosions and violent reactions. Or they would experiment with different objects including other people's pencils, books, brushes anc papers to see what would burr and what would melt. On cold win ter days, hot chocolate anc marshmallows were cooked over i bunsen burner flame. Language labs were another place fo pranks. Students recorded mes sages to each other on tapes.

One was to erase words in a textbook so that whoever got it the next year couldn’t understand what the book said. Another was the ever-popular tack or gum on a chair. Outside the classroom, most jokes were conducted at lockers. Toilet paper was stuffed inside, paint was smeared on the door, shaving cream was sprayed on the lock, and eggs were cracked all over lockers. The law didn’t stop some pranksters. Occasionally a person pulled a fire alarm during classtime and the entire school had to evacuate the building. (Or someone brought snowballs inside.) Once in awhile a window was broken or an audio-visual bulb was unscrewed. Although some were harmful and destructive, most pranks were fun and provided a break in everyday school routines.

From the beginning of the school year, students carefully counted down the 75 days till winter vacation. Oh. the joy of sleeping late, of not having to do homework and not having to worry about classes! Park students wanted to enjoy their vacation as much as they could. Taking advantage of Minnesota’s weather was a way many students spent their time: A cabin by the Boundary Waters, crosscountry skiing through the woods in the morning, and ice fishing in the afternoon — a perfect way t) relax! Then, there were those pec • pie who felt they had had enoug � of the Minnesota cold.

Or people saw the J. Geils Band at the Civic Center. Many went to see their hero in the movie Superman. Also, there was an opportunity to spend time with families. ‘‘During school I see my father so little that I forgot what he looks like,” said one Park student. Some families visited out of town relatives, especially during the holiday season. By the time students had become used to going out at night, sleeping late, and relaxing, school started again, and students started counting down the 62 days till spring vacation.

Before they even had a chance to get a ‘‘feel for Park High, they were asked to write their first impressions of being a sophomore. The result was a collection of comments. One comment was repeated by almost all the sophomores: ‘‘This is the year we get our drivers' licenses! Many other comments were optimistic. This year we're freer. New people — New friends, However, most of the comments conveyed a sense o insecurity. The mere size of th building seemed to intimidate tenth graders who felt . . lost ir a building of bricks. ‘‘I can't fine my classes in this maze.

After a while at Park, sophomores’ ideas changed. (They were more relaxed and weren’t afraid of juniors and seniors anymore.) Even though they were the newest people in the building, they felt as much a part of Park as the upperclassmen. They had begun to live down the name “sophomore” which means wise fool.” Opposite: Center: Bill Upham, and Bruce Goldfarb. sophomores, would rather spend their time playing cards than doing homework.

When he finally got most of the class’s attention, he rose and started to walk to the front of the room where the teacher was. On the way up he tripped on a book and went sliding into the teacher knocking them both down. The class was hysterical, but I guess you had to be there.

Fernando neath the classroom window. They set it up during the teacher’s lunch break so when she came back it would all be ready. The two boys in the classroom stuck the pants outside the window still holding onto the bottom of the legs so it looked like the boy was hanging upside down out the window. When the teacher walked in and saw this, she got all excited and started to yell. As planned, the boys upstairs let go of the pants. As the pants were falling towards the ground, the boy outside let out a scream of pain. The teacher went for help while the boys stood there crying because they were laughing so hard. Luckily the boys got away with their little gag. When the teacher returned and found there wasn’t anybody there, she felt that it was time for another vacation.

Sophomores were the lowest on the ladder of school rank. Their setbacks all started when they first enrolled in Park High. Choices of classes depended on what classes were left over by the juniors and seniors. On orientation day. sophomores found out what type of problems they were in for. They received the lockers (28.1904) that were in the far cor ners of the school. Some packe lunches to keep from starvation 01 the way to their lockers during th day. They had to take all thei books with them to avoid goinc back to their lockers. Sophomore also found out what problem could occur when they couldn' drive and get to places easily.

At the end of their sophomore year, many tried out for the paper and yearbook. They got their recommendations and went through their interviews and sweat to belong to the group. The sophomores were left out not only in school groups but also in sports. Not many sophomores got to know the feeling of playing var- sity instead of J.V. or sophomore positions. They also had a hard time trying to letter. The competition was rougher than in junior high. Even outside of school they felt deprived: they weren’t allowed to go to any ’R’ rated movies such as Magic: sitting through The Res-cuers bv Walt Disney wasn't the best for that special date. Their sophomore year was one of many setbacks. It all seemed to be part of the traditional way of Park. They were glad it was only one year.

They had completed the required American History classes, and Health, yet classes, like Echowan, Art of Cinema and Economics were still thought of as classes only older brothers and sisters took. Still sophomores gained some new opportunities such as jobs, licensed driving, and a new type of night life. Along with new opporti nities came problems. Because c budget cuts more classes tha ever before were cut and sophc mores had to develop a know ho to get into the classes the wanted. This was a difficult skill t develop because seniors and jui iors had priority. These budg cuts not only caused schedulir problems, but problems like lin ited supplies, larger class size, ar J faculty cuts. Come registration Clot Up Upham. William Udstrarxj. Paul Vassaiio.

Because of budget jts sophomores felt dissatisfac-! � n more often than satisfaction, jnsidering these problems and hers, the sophomore’s year uld no longer be thought of as i easy one. Sophomores were jddenly faced with more prob-ms. questions, and decisions than ever before. They wondered if their favorite teacher would be cut, and whether classes signed up for would even be offered. Sophomores also faced decisions about taking college prep courses, trying vocational training, and getting a part time job. All these things were part of a sophomore’s year. The sophomores of 1979 were truly the beginning of a new era for St. Louis Park High School.

This was it. what school was really all about. The classes, the studying. the tests and the homework. Some of us knew it in grade school; others learned it in high school, when college requirements turned out to be tougher than we d ever imagined Oh. sure, there were always sports and activities, but they only served as complements to school, they didn't jefme it the way academics did. Of course, many of the things we earned in school were soon forgot-en. Things like trigonometry ratios, ates in American history and phys- ics problems just didn't seem to stick with us for very long What we did remember, however, were all the things that made our school years special. The time we got caught calling each other in sick from school so we could spend the day at Lake Harriet. The shaky speeches, the hidden report card with the two D's and all the assignments we put off doing until we had to stay up until 2 a m. the night before to finish. The failed tests that didn't seem so bad when we shared them with our friends, and phy-ed's infamous 12-minute run. We remembered the good times as well The substitute who got a big laugh by imitating the regular economics teacher, or the closeness of a class when JoAnne's” whereabouts was questioned. And of course we remembered graduation night, when those 13 long years finally seemed worth it. These were the things we kept with us long after the chemistry equations were forgotten. Because they were what made our school years special years, years we would never forget. A odemi t Subdivision: 140 141 Getting Out and About It was easy to label the administrators as just a bunch of pencil-scratching. paper-rustling bureaucrats. True, their jobs required that time-consuming “busy work , but the favorite times were those spent with others. Dr. Hickey spent a day at Susan Lindgren teaching music to a kindergarten class. Wainio often could be seen as a substitute teacher. Mr. Leonhardi. new to Park High this year, made a point of personally meeting all the teachers. They all helped out with morning announcements, chatted with faculty members and greeted familiar faces in the halls. The administrators acted as go-between when students’ ideas of attendance conflicted with the teacher’s concepts. Administrators did important jobs, and they proved that desk work wasn't always the only way to get things done. Bottom: Frank Miller. Assistant Principal, quickly eats his lunch while working.

Principal RE: Secretaries, Para-Profession-als, Librarians, Nurse, Learning Center Teachers This is to inform you of the duties of the above-mentioned high school staffs during the courses of one day in 1978-79. The office secretaries answered the constantly ringing phones, recording parent’s messages saying that their child would be absent that day. After 10:00, the secretaries typed the absentee lists. When students or parents needed to make an appointment with one of the principals, the secretaries were the people they turned to Another duty of the office secretaries was filing school records and papers. The counselor secretaries helped them register for PSAT and SAT tests and fill out applications for college. They were also responsible for makirg “get-acquainted” appointmen $ with counselors along with the regular appointments that st -dents requested. The para-profe -sionals were in each resource center to help students win assignments, make-up tests, ar j films for review and research.

They were the people who, almost invisibly, kept our school running. If students took time to look, they would notice the important people they had missed. Many of them could have been found in the cafe. With puzzled glances they walked into the cafe on the first day of school. It looked different. A week later they finally realized it had been painted. The smell of pretzels and other freshly cooked foods filled the air. Hungry students crowded into lunch lines and ate food made by unseen cooks. As they made their way through the crowds and sat down, they heard loud voices of rowdy students. Occasionally, they wouid have to duck a flying milk carton But one voice could be hea d above the others, and seemincly came from nowhere. It was the voice of Maddie Banwell, cafe monitor, trying to control studen s There didn’t seem to be as mu h garbage throwing as before, tjt enough to keep the janitors ho )• ping.

It was Anita Silbert, hall monitor. She was carrying Orange Power t-shirts and running to tables trying to sell them. Her voice was demanding and full of spirit, so a lot of students bought them. The last few bites of lunch were eaten and everyone hurried away from the fading sounds of Park’s sometimes forgotten, but always important, auxiliary staff. Opposite: Top Right: COOKS: M. Nelson, J.

Paul Peteraon: You are free to do whatever yc j like You need only lace the consequences '’ Advocates Aid All How were the Counselors, Faculty Senate, and the Department Heads alike? They were all advocates. The counselors were advo- cates for the students, helping them find their interests, helping them to make decisions about their futures, providing them with individual and group counseling. The counselors found it was a lot more practical to let students change their own schedules, before the school year had begun. Thus, counselors were freed to help the students who really needed them, while others didn’t have to wait for hours for an appointment just to drop or add a class. Counselors also found that students were more concerned with higher achievement on tes s and better grades than in rece it years. One thing counselors we e concerned with was the decrea -ing flexibility for students o change classes. Since there h d been so many teachers cut. tl e classes became much larger Because of filled classes, studerts found it difficult to add anoth?r class once the school year hid begun. Counselors felt their jobs had variety and usefulness. Like counselors working for students, there were two advocate groups working for teachers. One was the Gov Up ichard Qialaaon: As individuals we are all .ponsibie lor our own decisions '' Gerald Thompson: Why don't you do the things you want to do?” acuity Senate, a group of nine lected faculty members. All Sente members were assigned a roup of constituents whom they let with to discuss any problems ney felt existed in the school. Two iajor problems brought to the ienate were the parking lots and ;oncern for the condition of the building. The other advocate group for teachers was the Department Heads. Representing 17 departments, they handled curriculum and academics. One of their concerns was the plans for the addition of the ninth grade to the Senior High in 1980-81. Another was the new final test schedule. All three advocate groups served a necessary purpose: to give people a voice in things that affected them. Opposite: Right: Decisions! Decisions!

Five minutes left before it’s time to leave for home. Someone from the back of the bus yells, Come on Leadfoot, let's go! Finally, as the bus lurches forward, I see three students come running out of school.

Jerome Rood: Love of music, I guess Hitting the High Notes Basic “pencil and paper” classes weren't the only courses offered at Park in 1978-79. With all the time spent in music over the years, students felt they needed to continue on. Many took one. two. and even three different music classes as credits towards graduation. Back in fifth grade, students chose the instrument that sounded best or the one that their older brothers or sisters had played. Some students couldn’t play what they wanted to because of short fingers or a mouth full of braces Now. after years of practice and physical growth, the large band practice was a part of their senior high curriculum. Although some students practiced during the weekends, many were not as dedicated. Some students decided to go further in music and met this challenge by forming their own bands. Others were successful at learning to play new instruments because they could read notes and knew the basic fingerings. Many other students strove to reach the top and make it into Concert Band or Orchestra. Reaching that goal, students aimed at becoming “first chair’’, the greatest honor. Of course, it was always fun to take out old fifth grade music books and laugh at the simple fingering exercises, remembering how hard they used to be.

Because of staff cuts, all the English teachers taught writing courses for the first time since the start of the elective program in 1970. This year the department offered 26 courses. English 10 Core was the only required class, but a sample of literature. writing and communication courses were necessary for graduation. While different courses appealed to different people. favorites emerged. Literature was the largest phase of the three, with American Authors being the favorite course. The most popular writing course was Moffett. In the communication phase, Art of the Cinema had the heaviest enrollment. Because class cuts for next year seemed certain, students tried to make the most of their choices.

Longuoge Artt: 152 153 So Much to Learn--So Little Time Free from graduation requirements, students chose electives from the English phase they liked best. One of these was communications. Talking in front of a class was tough at first, but it became easier as the year went on. Students of formal and informal speech classes learned to talk in front of groups without shaking. For those who enjoyed conveying their thoughts on paper, writing classes were not as scary as speech, because talking in front of a class wasn’t required. There was still another phase for those who wanted to read famous authors. The literature phase consisted of reading books, watching films, and analyzing them afterwards. Thoreau and other famous authors were studied individually. With the wide variety of English classes offered, three years just didn't seem to be enough time to learn it all.

No, they were high school students on their way to the vocational-technical school in Brooklyn Park. The often-told myth that vo-tech students were looking for easy, unstructured credits was totally false. People enrolled in vo-tech were there to take an individually-paced course for 12 to 14 months. Many courses boasted of 100% job placement after graduation. Rules were strict; students were only allowed three absences a quarter. After that, all absences counted against their grade. The small classes offered students the extra attention they needed for the special training they wanted. The Park students at vo-tech gained valuable career training without attending college.

The ns program was C.E.T.A., a national ?. program funded by the federal government. The initials stood for Wrt-the Comprehensive Educational Training Act. This year the program was in full swing at Park. Because C.E.T.A. was a work program it could be compared to other work programs in our school. Although people seldom knew they belonged to C.E.T.A . the members were highly visible. For unlike other work program students. a high percentage of members were employed within our school. Jobs such as custodians and library aides were taken on by the students, while a few had jobs outside the school. Students worked four days a week, then attended their 'World of Work' workshops every Wednesday afternoon, receiving pay for five days’ work. Topics covered in the workshops dealt with the jobs available and the basics of holding a job, like having interviews. With greater publicity of their successes. the little ripples became waves.

Kennedy died in 1963, but how many knew that Lenin died in 1924? World Studies set a different pace for students. They had studied the history of America but now began learning the history of other countries. This year juniors had their choice of two out of three courses. Many decided to learn about the U.S.S.R.; they studied the Russian Revolution and the political structure of Russia. Students found themselves going home and checking for newspaper articles to summarize and bring to class. Others who wanted to learn about their western heritage took Western Ways. A new class, Non-Western World, studied the development of Asia and Africa and how modernization was changing these countries’ lifestyles. Some students took Anthropology or World Religions. By studying other countries, students better understood what was really happening in the world. Top: Peggy Huber, junior, debates whether or not to do her homework.

World Studies; 160- 161 History Repeats Itself! After seventh grade, students thought they’d never see a history book again. How wrong they were. America’s history didn't end with the Civil War. Sophomores once again found themselves using history books. Students felt more a part of history this time because they were shown more video tapes, such as “Tora. Tora. Tora. Thus, they came to a better understanding of America’s past. Then, as seniors, America was looked at through a new perspective. Political Behavior explained the political process of our government. Speakers such as Freeman and Frenzel came to class to discuss issues in the 78 election. Economics dealt with how the government and private enterprise handled such problems as inflation and unemployment, Sociology showed students how society influenced their lifestyles and Psychology helped them to learn about themselves. By the end of high school, students realized that American study never ends. Lett: Jerry Gozola. sophomore, works on an essay for his history test Top Right: Waiting to see a history film.

Students selected the classes they thought would suit their present or future needs. If interested in any kind of office work, typing was the necessary course. For better paying employment, a wise decision was either Forkner or Gregg Shorthand. Upon completion of these courses, students were ready for a job in business. Bookkeeping focused on writing checks, making bank deposits, and preparing income tax returns. Business Law specialized in legal problems, wills, owning property, criminal law and the court system. To have a better idea on how to take out a loan, buy or rent a house, and make important buying decisions; whatever students do in the future, a business education course could only help.

It seemed puzzling how teachers could whip up a masterpiece within minutes during a demonstration. In order for students to do this, the teachers worked with them throughout the semester slowly shaping them into young artists. The art class with the highest enrollment was Basic Design. Students that enrolled in this class were taught the basic techniques of pottery making, sculpting, jewelry making, painting. drawing and commercial art. The more advanced levels required more patience, time and dedication in order to create realistic projects with a more professional quality. By taking a semester of art, students were indirectly being taught to have determination and patience along with being taught art. Photo essay starting from Top Right: In her Basic Design class.

The alphabet and numbers were taught. Names of foods like apple — pomme: meat — came: and cheese — Kase were learned by visiting restaurants such as La Casa Coronada and La Chouette or by having food bazaars. Levels II III — Tapes and records were used more to practice listening and comprehension skills. The basics of verb tenses like to eat — comer, to love — aimer, and to die — sterben were learned. Monopoly, Mille Bornes, Scrabble and card games were played in each specific language class. Level IV — Articles of magazines like Blanco y Negro were read and discussed. Slang words and phrases such as out of sight — macanudo. and far out —c’est formidable were learned. Level V — There was more emphasis on literature in this level. Short stories like Le Petit Prince and ‘‘Martin Fierro were read. Fridays were conversation days where only speaking in a foreign language was allowed. Students would talk to each other about tests they had taken and dates they had been on the previous week.

What would you rather do — dissect a frog, learn about chemical bonds and their reactions, or make a self-propelled vehicle? When students entered the Senior High, they had a choice of which science to take, such as biology, chemistry, or physics. At the beginning of biology, students were found peering into microscopes looking at plants and microorganisms. Genetics and population were studied, and this year College Prep Biology tried something new by having students make a family tree to learn about Gordon Weihrauch: I think people will have more concern lor their physical health and be in better shape because they are more informed their own genetic heredity. Dissecting a cat in Advanced Biology was new to students. Some found it fascinating while others couldn't bear to take that first step of opening a once living creature. In chemistry, juniors and seniois once again found themselves learning the metric system. Oth- r days they listened to lectures c i atomic theory and chemic I bonds. They looked forward to le ) days when they would test cherr cals to see if precipitates wei a formed or if hydrogen or gas weia present.

Oo « Up It All Adds Up Mathematics was an important part of everyone's education. All students learned their own tricks to figure out problems. Some students had worn down erasers or pencil-covered desk tops and some even had wandering eyes if their neighbor seemed smart. But when our teachers were looking over us. we were forced to do our own work on scratch paper. Here at Park in 1978-79. we could throw away our scratch paper and take out our calculators. We were required to take at least one credit of math during our three years of high school. This year, there were 16 semester classes and four full-year. For students who had trouble with basic math computations, there were courses such as Math Explorations and Elementary Algebra as well as courses like Geometry and Trigonometry for average students. Accelerated Math 10.11 and Calculus were available to the advanced students and there were also courses for those interested in the computer. Whatever we wanted to learn in math, Park could help us learn it. Opposite: Center Left: Don Wright, senior. figures out the puzzle .

A young boy was pushed under water one too many times when goofing around in a lake with some friends. Water got into his lungs and he passed out. What should have been done? That was a situation that could happen in everyday life. Without the first aid that was learned in tenth grade health, such a situation would have been hopeless. First aid was only one of the units taught in health. Cardio-pulmonary-resusci-tation, (C.P.R.) was a separate unit that taught students how-to dislodge something from someone's throat. In mental health, the favorite unit of most sophomores, problems of schizophrenia and mental retardation were discussed. A short unit on nutrition was also taught: students were asked to make a chart of their ordinary intake of food and compare it to a balanced diet. Because it was felt that more emphasis should be put on health, the classes were made one semester long. Thus, there was more time to learn for the health of it.

Running such long distances was not a favorite pastime of some of the sophomores, but it was an exhausting running event that they were all asked to participate in for the individual conditioning unit in tenth grade physical education. Three weeks of individual conditioning was a required unit, along with three weeks of a team sport, three weeks of an individual sport and three weeks of swimming. After these requirements were out of the way, the remaining six weeks of the semester could be spent participating in the two favorite units of each individual. Tennis, broomball, basketball and soccer were among the most popular choices. For those students that were less fit than they gave themselves credit for, the three musclestraining days that were set aside for the Marine Physical Fitness Tests were the days that were followed by stiff arm and leg muscles. No matter how fit or unfit the sophomores seemed to be. they were on their way to becoming stronger and more fit seniors.

The Easy(?) Life We all looked for ways to get out of school, usually for as long a time as possible. The people involved in Mini-School or the Work Program found beneficial ways to do just that, even though their methods varied. In the Work Program, students earned school credits by participating in a class designed to help them get more out of their jobs than just spending money. After class the students were dismissed from school early to go to work. Everyone in the program chose which area they wanted to be involved with, whether it was Work Experienct 01 one of the four work-orien 3C clubs — VICA, DECA, MOEA 01 HEART.

In the downtowns ol the nation, millions of people lined up to see movies such as Grease, strring the teenage idol, John Travolta, who popularized the disco. The disco craze remained in style but the Toga Party, made famous by Animal House, made its mark upon college campuses. The silver screen was colorful and dramatic but it was expensive (up to 54 a show) and it could not give us the live coverage that television could Through TV we had the opportunity to watch such miracles as Bjorn Borg take his third championship at Wimbledon. Muham-med Ali in his victory over Leon Spinks and the Yanks go on to win their second World Series title over the Dodgers. P a-T Update World and Nation Ups and Downs Throughout history, man has tried to master the art of flying, most of them unsuccessfully. Like Charles Lindbergh and the Spirit of St. Louis in 1927. the Double Eagle II and its crew made the first successful transatlantic flight. Two planes collided in San Diego causing the worst aviation disaster in U.S. history and resulted in the death of 137 people. All over the world, inflation took its toll on the worth of the American Dollar causing it to fall to a record low. To bolster its value President Carter, in his Phase II speech, proposed that the government tighten its budget. Although his plans did shed some light on the problem, they did not stop the cost of the Hershey bar from rising up to 25 cents. In the near future, postal officials anticipate an inflation in zip codes rising up to nine digits. After the 95th Congress let out. the Energy Crisis, and how to solve the problem were still much in the air. With the adoption of Proposition 13, inflation and taxes became major issues of Campaign 78. Anita Bryant, orange juice queen and anti-gay activist, slipped into a quieter existence after her earlier crusades. Also on the line was ERA.

With declining enrollment in the public schools, a decision must be made as to which junior high to close. Either Westwood, a cold building designed in an era of machine consciousness, filled with hard lines and glaring colors, or Central, built in a time of gentility, a vine-covered hall of learning. Such a decision, when approached objectively, should prove simple. Imagine first, a closing of the store house of tradition, Central Junior High. In this case, students used to life in its warm passages would be hurled into the frigid environment of Westwood. There the students, as yet malleable youths, would be transformed from upstanding citizens to the spiteful animals that have long inhabited the cage of West-wood. This loss of refinement would be a loss to the community, indeed to the world at large. Imagine, on the other hand, the transference of West-wood captives to Central. There, students conditioned to the dogfighting of their home school would soon absorb the exhilaration of their academic eden and become the gentlefolk they are quite capable of being. There are some who disagree with the obvious selection of Central as the home for our youth. Among these is my Park should Close on Extremely Hot and Cold days « ► ♦ For years this school has operated as though staying open in even the most miserable weather conditions were a primary commitment. Those who equate school with suffering and punishment might still agree, but it seems time for a more humane and logical pro- posal. Simply, schools should be closed in extremely hot or cold weather. Understand, this is not an idle plea for canceling classes just because a thermostat goes on the fritz. When dangerous dew points and wicked windchills make the very act of getting to school hazardous, changes must be made. Why should students have to fear keeling over from heat exhaustion or becoming numb from frostbite while merely coming in from the parking lot? Not only does that seem an unnecessary risk, it's a lousy way to start a day. What is worse is that conditions inside offer no relief. Policy dictates that the building be closed up tight after 3:00 pm on hot days and the temperatures be set back to a crisp 50 degrees on cold ones. This method insures continual, universal discomfort. Only the most callous would remain untouched by the resulting situation. The room smells like an old tennis shoe. Bodies are draped opponent, a woman well-vers j in the works of Marx and Eng Please, my obviously intellige t readers, do, not approach hir article partisan in any wa . Heed not the rumors, nor her lineage: merely read and pa close attention to her arguments. I feel that the schools will speak for themselves. over desks, sticky skin adhering to the wooden surfaces like masking tape. The conscientious few who take notes are trying to get their Bics to write on perspiration soaked paper Teachers spend half the time apologizing for the heat and hrlf worrying about passing oil. Now, I ask, what kind of learnir g is taking place here? The oth r extreme is no better. Shiverir g students wrap themselves in 5 ( jackets and struggle to wr e papers while wearing mitter . Sniffles and sneezes punctue e lectures. Kleenex, the obvio is necessity, isn’t provided; coffe 3, the one salvation is forbiddt r Learning is a burden for ma iy under the best circumstance s. Under these conditions i s hopeless. For too long tl e school has operated as thou; ;h remaining in session were in t le same category as death a id taxes. Being deadly and taxi 10 is not the same thing. A change is necessary. Let weather be the barometer it should be. My opponent, articulate as he is. obviously knows nothing about the junior high schools of our city. His suggestions fairly reek with the dust and mold of an iquated thinking and cob-we obed logic. Westwood Junior Hi )h should not, I repeat, sh uld not be closed while Centre I remains open. To do so wc jld be like resurrecting the dir osaur by using the life blood of he cow — the obsolete create 3 is not worth saving. Central m.' i well be warm and gentility b' d as my opponent suggests, bu in this day and age it's like th« overheated air of a home for Ito elderly, like gentility encap-su ated in the pinkie-lifting, crc ssed ankles of a spinster sit-tin! on a doilied settee sipping tec. My opponent waxes eloquent and misty-eyed on the subject of vine-clad halls of learning. His nostalgia is nau-seatingly uninformed. Any school child knows that vines can only grow over an already crumbling surface. But the most important element in a school system is the students, and that's where our efforts must be directed. The students, after all. are the heart and soul of any school system. Therefore, it is strong hearts and brave souls that we ought to be producing — students who can meet the test of the modern world — the nuclear age. All that Central can give us is another generation of 1940’s replicas. Tradition-filled, yes by all means, but we do not need more people who only know how to can pickles and fox trot. What we need are challenges, new ideas, and new methods. The students of the 70's need to learn to compute — not to count on their toes and fingers. My opponent accuses me (and by implications the supporters of West-wood) of being Marxist in our reading material and, hence, in our thinking. What he doesn't mention is that his own reading appears to be limited to the Hardy Boys mysteries and Dick and Jane readers. I say: Close Central: it's the only way we can possibly get fresh air into our junior high system — even if it sucks out all the hot air in my opponent's overly capacious tungs. Declining Enrollment: Westwood Should not Be closed My worthy adversary is obvi-: u; y a kind-hearted, and well-nt' ntioned but physically and tic ally degenerate sob sister. :o close schools when the ier peratures move up or down 3 ivj notches could only be $u gested by one whose circu-ation and general fitness are those of an 88 year old. Our oung people need to learn some of the most basic values of American life; one of which is that a little suffering to achieve something always makes it worthwhile. To suggest that these children be coddled is insulting to Americans in general and their parents specifically — many of whom walked to school in sleet, snow and scorching sun because they KNEW the value of education. Teachers too should not forget their heritage. It wasn’t so many years ago that that revered figure, the school Maarm, was not only expected to teach pupils the 3-R’s but to tend the fires, pump the water and shovel the walk to the building. She did it gladly. Today we have teachers, many of them youngish, virile males, who can't lift their stomachs off their laps. Which brings me to my final point: such actions kept both teachers and pupils physically fit. The glow of healthy cheeks and the warmth of sturdy bodies are in sharp contrast to the listless, cold-snif- fling generation of the '70’s.

With nine straight championships behind them it was a disappointment to the swimmers to drop the championship. Despite this, the team was one of the strongest in the state. With hard work and healthy competition between team members, the girls defeated opponents by scores such as 53-5 and 52-7. Little recognition and crowd support didn’t deter the girls and they cheered each other on to a 7-2 record. A definite factor in the success of the team was Sally Callahan, coach. A meet equivalent to a state championship was the highlight of the season. Stillwater beat Park and became the new champs. All-conference honors were awarded to Janell Turner, Sandy Kodadek, Jody Smith and Jenna Justus. Top Left: Margaret Dokka, junior, practices every movement before a meet.

It wasn’t an easy challenge. This year to make a list of outstanding performers would be a difficult thing to do. Each player contributed a great deal to the total team effort. Captain Dave Ratner, senior, was an excellent, steady leader who, at one point in the season, even sacrificed his position on the singles team to fill a gap on the doubles team. No performer was offically selected as the most valuable player, but Randy Covin, sophomore, would have to be recognized as the team’s steadiest player. The Boys' Tennis Team placed high in the White Bear Invitational. Stuart Chazin, senior, teamed up for the first time with Dave Ratner, senior, in doubles and took 3rd place. Randy Covir sophomore, captured a 3rd plac in the singles competition. M«ir-Covin, freshman, being th youngest member on the Varsit, squad, showed tremendous ab % and held the 2 position in d i bles with Todd Wilson, senior. J( serious injuries were encounte during the season. Although Sc ot Thorne, junior, was frequer I, troubled by leg problems, he h lc down a strong third seat in the s n gles competition. The team ended its season p a-j with a 7-7 record. All play r Action News improved throughout the season, gaining valuable experience for forming the nucleus of an even stronger 1979 Tennis Team.

Although they averaged six firsts, five seconds and five thirds in each meet, the Girls' Track Team record in 1978 didn’t reflect this kind of accomplishments. In addition, the team improved considerably this year despite its 1-7 record. Brenda Gall ended up with the largest number of total and meet points. She placed many times in the long jump, and the 100 and 200 yard sprints; she was also a part of a winning 880 yard relay team. Debbie and Sue Klinge performed well in the one and two mile runs and the 880 yard run. Mary Boyer, one of the team's three-year letter winners, was constant in earning points in putting the shot and throwing the discus.

The players knew each other, and many of them had played together since Babe Ruth. With nine returning seniors it was for many of them, their last chance at a championship. A feeling of closeness penetrated the team. It was evident in the way that they played. It was the year to win. A late cold spell, however, prevented outdoor practices and the Orioles dropped their first two games. After this disappointing start, Park rallied to win a few but then went back into a losing streak. As Roger Anderson, sophomore coach, said. “In a game like baseball with such a short season once you get into a slump it’s hard to get out. Later in the season however, with the help of power hitters Mike Yohnke and Al Wachutka, the Orioles started getting on track. The pitching al 0 improved with Gregg Pedersci Daryl Grover and Dave Hoov jr leading the squad. The often e was dominated by Bill Bosle . captain, who was elected best offensive player.

Bov boll; 196 197 Softball Success Story Kathy Fraser, coach, worked diligently to get a Girls' Softball Team together for the first time at Park. A cold spring held the girls to many weeks of indoor practices. Fraser had to start from practically nothing, considering that most team members were untrained, and only a few had had the experience of playing fast-pitch ball. The girls were eager to learn, so the hard part was over. The first few games were discouraging losses but the team improved steadily in batting and fielding. Mental and physical errors on the field cost them games early in the season, but by the end of the season they were playing “heads-up” ball. At that point, most of the games they lost were by one or two points They defeated Bloomington Jefferson. who were ranked high er then the Park team in their di i-sion, which helped the girls gen confidence in themselves and n the team as a whole.

Tri-captains, Bob Gaughan, Dale Karlson, and Steve Gabor, seniors, headed the practices along with Thomas Egan as coach. Records were broken and reset as Greg Haywood, sophomore, ran the 100 yard dash in 10 seconds flat, and Jason Griak, junior, broke the two-mile record with a time of 9:26 minutes. Griak’s two-mile time was also a record for the Region 6AA. Strengthening the team were Dale Karlson, Bob Gaughan, seniors, and Kevin Mort- land, junior, in pole vaulting. Jason Griak, junior, in distance and Greg Haywood, sophomore in sprinting. At the end of the season, pole vaulting was the only area in which injuries took their toll, with sprained ankles and torr ligaments. The most memorable o all the meets was the Edina Invita tional, in which every member competed well, setting their owr personal records and makinc many of their best times.

A combination of underclassmen: two freshmen, five sophomores and two juniors created a team that challenged and overpowered older teams. Tournaments were a plus for the season. Park placed fourth in the Eden Praire Thirty-Six Hole Invitational, eighth in the Lake Conference Eighteen Hole Tournament, and fourth in the Region 6AA Eighteen Hole Tournament. Mike Saxon, junior, the oldest on the team, had the most experience in playing the regulation game. The sophomores were a strong asset to the team’s success. In the meet against Lindbergh, it was Benjie Rubin, sophomore, with a score of 58, that broke the 222-222 tie and gave Park the victory. The golfers practiced twice a week and played a match once a week. It was a young team with a lot to offer, the dedication to stick with it and the determination to be the best.

Kevin Mort-land, senior, scored three goals in less than three minutes, sparking a fourth quarter comeback to help the team win the first playoff game against Lindbergh. Mortland and John Murakami, seniors, were co- captains for the 78 season. Mortland scored 14 goals, and played on the All-Lake team.

After a slow start, an improved team competed with growing enthusiasm and team spirit. One reason for the improvement was Elwood Satterval, the team's second coach of the season. Satterval was able to bring the boys out of their slump by motivating them to work harder in order to achieve their goals. The small team was made up of some very hard working, dedicated individuals. Many of the boys were serious enough about gymnastics to go to camp during the summer and work on their routines. Unfor- tunately the team did not ha enough competitors in each eve to pull off a winning season. Frc the beginning of the season t squad came up against rna obstacles. Coaching probler and injuries were a few of 11$ But the potential of the gym ia was always present, and th were able to overcome their c culties and concentrate strengthening the team.

Luckily, the team was able to carry this spirit on into the season and as a result had a successful year. In the beginning of the season the team had some problems adjusting to a new offense, but Kathy Fraser and Fred Swenson, the new coaches, kept the team working, and soon spiking was one of the team’s strong points. The season got off to a great start when the team defeated Mound in their first game. Linda Peterson and Sue Kragseth, senior captains, were real assets to the team all season. Kragseth was namxJ Most Valuable Player by her tea n-mates in addition to receiving || Conference honors for the th d consecutive year. Peterson w is honored by being named be h Most Enthusiastic and Most De i-cated. When the season came o an end. Park had placed fourth in the conference and had won thr e more games than the previo js Action Newi year. But the highlight of the season came when the team defeated Csseo. last year’s state champions. Opposite: Top: VOLLEYBALL TEAM: B ttom Row: D Naaklegeboren. R. Lin-d r. J Shapiro. J. A. Johnson. M.

A common score heard by every tennis player. The 1978 Girls’ Tennis Team was a young but experienced team. The team lost many seniors from last year but still maintained quite a strong varsity squad. Because of the declining enrollment, the Girls’ Tennis Team was small compared to other teams in the conference who had up to 50 girls participating in the sport. At the same time it made it hard to build up a young team and excel with the more experienced players. During the summer the girls played in tournaments, at camps, and just for fun. Ellen Daniels, senior captain, played in tournaments sponsored by American Tennis Association and was able to qualify for the quarter and semi-finals. Daniels continued to show her skills throughout the season and was awarded All-Conference honor Julie Onstad, senior, was voted Most Improved player, while L;y Gustilo, sophomore, earned the Sportsmanship award.

Respect — is any respect given to the referee? So often spectators hear angry shouts of hostility from the fans, coaches, and players, directed towards the referee. People rarely see a player congratulating a ref for his quick eye in catching a foul on the other team, but often see a player arguing with the ref for catching a foul on his own team. A referee of a game is like a leader to a country: without them no order could be established. no set laws for a country nor organized play for a team. But, just as a leader makes mistakes about tax cuts, a referee makes mistakes about plays . . Error — NO WAY' IT WASN’T A FOUL ... a familiar phrase heard by almost any referee. Every human makes mistakes. The mistakes for a ref could be misjudged distance or a misrepresented foul. The errors are not made intentionally to favor the other team. The decisions are honest. Friends — In a game, a ref has few friends. Coaches and players are arguing while fans are booing him. The referee is blamed for the touchdown made by the other team and for the foul by the home team. They forget the praise they had given last week, for his great job because they were winning . . . How soon some people forget. Action Newt i uifiiiiiiimiiM) Matmen Maintain Morale Park's 1979 wrestlers proved their endurance by coming through a difficult season with their confidence intact. From the start they were faced with unusual obstacles. Their first concern was keeping their weight down, often as much as twenty pounds below offseason weight. Then there was the problem of developing basic wrestling skills. In this, Park had a unique disadvantage: there was only one senior on the squad, and eight of the team members came from the junior highs. It was this same youth, however, that kept them going in hopes of success in later years. Another of their problems was a lack of fan support; most of the matches were scheduled opposite basketball games. Though they lacked an impressive record, Park’s wrestlers finished their season with confidence. Top: WRESTLING TEAM: Bottom Row: D. Hagg, A. North. D. Danborg, S. Divin-ski. A. Simon, C. Petsoulis.

At the begin- ning of the 1978-79 season, Park knew that life would be rough in the Lake Conference South Division. The team was young and up against such South powers as the two Edinas and the three Bloom-ingtons. The team’s courage showed that they never gave up hope. Their dream was always, “Tonight may be the night to come up with a spectacular performance and a win.” On February 13, 1979 that dream came true. St. Louis Park received its first Lake Conference victory over Richfield with a score of 5-2. John Latterell, senior, scored a hat trick while Ward Wallin, senior, goalie, stopped 47 shots. Averaging about 40 saves a game, Wallin definitely showed that defense was a strong point of the squad. Wallin ranked third in the conference in go ,1 tending. The loss of Todd Ts -chiya, senior, due to a shoulder injury had its effect. The leadir scorers for Park were Dave Hoover, captain. John Lattere . and Don Wright, seniors. Par played many close games, losir g many by only one or two goc s (including the game again Mound when Park lost with a score of 5-4 in overtime.). The St. Louis Park Hockey Team never gave up hope. The members of the team never gave up the dream of victory, though they were in the toughest conference, toughest in the state. Opposite: Top Left: VARSITY BOY’S HOCKEY TEAM: Bottom Row: S.

Kim Crawford, senior co-captain, was in and out of the games because of a sprained knee. The team had a joke going about Slam dunks . (A Slam dunk being when someone stuffs the basketball into the hoop.) Sue Benson, senior, would say, I don't want to waste it; I'll do it in the tournaments! Also when Kim Crawford, 5'2 , would go for a fast break, the team would yell Slam dunk!” It was just a joke considering Crawford would have to jump three feet to do a Slam dunk! , but it kept the team laughing during practices and games.

It was rather large this year with about 30 people on it (compared to about 15 last year.) Slalom skiing is a very exciting sport, racing both against time and an opponent at speeds ranging from 10 to 20 miles per hour, dodging between gates, in temperatures as low as — 25° with a — 50° wind chill. Sue Ribnick and Pete Wagner, senior captains, led the team both in competition and spirit. Captains Beth Mahrer, junior, and Gregg Hedlund, sophomore, also kept this team going in the subzero temperatures. The team practiced and held its meets at Hyland Hills in Bloomington. Judy Gilberstadt, coach, said that the team improved greatly during the season. “They ‘Wooshed’ down the hill and ‘Shooshed’ between the gates.’’ added Gilberstadt.

Most days the team practiced behind the high school. This was required because the team didn't have enough money to take a bus to someplace with more variety of terrain. When the season started, the team was larger than in previous years, but at the same time it was inexperienced. Lyle Santle-man, coach, realized that the only way for the skiers to overcome this was to spend long practices in the cold. Kelli Waalk, Lynn Gallice and Dave Fallek, senior captains, set the pace by clocking some of the fastest times. The team was rewarded for those freezing practices by finishing five places higher than last year in the regions for the girls, and one place higher for the boys.

Underdogs in Region 6AA, the Orioles buried Mound. Bloomington Kennedy, Robbinsdale, and Richfield to defend their Region title. Fans broke out Orange Crush cans and spent hours in line for tickets. On Thursday. March eighth, of tournament weekend. 2300 of them flooded the St. Paul Civic Center as their team, led by Jim Petersen, defeated Winona to advance to the second round. That evening, Petersen was shown on the news of all four television stations, and Friday morning’s Minneapolis Tribune ran an editorial on his hookshot. On Friday. 21 buses carried Park students to view a match-up with undefeated St. Paul Central. Dave Hennessey’s 30 points. John Anderson’s perfect freethrowing, and Al Wachutka's defense carried the game down to the final six seconds, but Central emerged the victor, 66-63. Park returned on Saturday for a final game against yearlong number one ranked Cold Springs-Rocori. Rocori won, but Park had already proven its worth: the players had taken the pressure from fans, from last year’s second place finish, and from themselves. They turned out a performance good enough to make them one of the four best basketball teams in the state. [I Park 59. Mound 50 . . Park 64, Kennedy 55, . . . Park 53. Robbinsdale 35.

D.C. this week, a peace treaty was finally signed between Israel and Egypt President Carter witnessed as Anwar Sadat and Manachem Begin signed the agreement. Although the turmoil in Iran was major news around the world, in our school the topic was not one that overly concerned us or one we enjoyed hearing about The news we liked to hear, was about the things we as students participated in. We were ecstatic upon our victory over Edina-East in a basketball game and upset at all defeats. We might soon forget Nelson Rockefeller's death or the controversy over the building of a domed stadium. But we would not forget the classes, people or activities that made up the year Hall romances, the Saturday night when we sat around with our friends to watch Rosane Rosana Dana and snowball fights in the parking lot are the things likely to be topics of conversation ten years from now. What we did was usually more important to us than any news Walter Cronkite reported because we were the ones who made up the headlines. This has been a SPECIAL REPORT. We now return to the regularly scheduled broadcast, already in progress. Follow Up: 240 241 special report A � - ■ft avv w N' $ -uJOwJ'' . ft.

For each one of you, this year contained unforgettable events, unbelievable news, trying moments and memorable people. This year's ECHOWAN SPECIAL REPORT 1978-1979 has tried to capture some of the events, news and moments in a 248 page memory book. From September 78 to March 79 (due to Taylor Publisher’s infamous deadlines) we, in room 313, were united by a common cause — to record the year. This book was a product of constant cooperative decision making, lots of creativity and bits of insanity. We were faced with moments of helplessness — but we faced them straight on up to the very end. As a 33 member staff, we worked our hardest to give the best special report we knew how. All years develop personalities of their own. Whether it was the Three Mile nuclear plant breakdown or an average Park School day. each made the news in its own way. Whether it was the Blue Ribbon Committee, the New Student Aide project or the endless fake fire drills, each helped to make the year unique. You were the news makers; we saved it for you and we did it through our ECHOWAN SPECIAL REPORT 1978-1979. Ten, fifteen, perhaps forty years from now, you will turn back and reread what took place during your high school years. You will remember fifty ways to leave the lunchroom,” Prom's theme Worlds Away” and Athena award winner Sue Kragseth. You'll see, giving up $12 will seem insignificant for a black and orange book of irreplacable memories. One last word, hold on to this book, its contents are irreplacable. From. The ECHOWAN Editor P.S. We owe many thanks to those who helped with our special report. Anne Mueller — Taylor couldn't have chosen a better representative; Cliff Wilder and Marshall Bank of Bank Studio — Your photographic talents really came in handy — especially when you were so cooperative. The staff of St. Louis Park High School — We needed your understanding authority to get through the many months of excuses, tardinesses and absentees. Nathan Larson — Thanks for patiently cleaning up after us. Gordon Gunlock — Your helpful hints and darkroom space saved our deadlines. Mike Burstein — You made our State Tournament page possible wih your pictures. Dan Wilson — Recording our special reports in cartoon made one-of-a-kind endsheets. Lynn Gallice — With your talent a cover was designed. Sun Newspaper, Rob Genadek and Kevin Moorehead — Your permission permitted us to record even more. Free To Be Inc. — Thanks for giving us permission.
