Yes, there were about 140 freshman students and we were out to show how to run a school. Mr . Harvey and Mr . Nesheim were to watch over our noisy class meetings. At our first class meeting we elected Denny Moore as president; Camilla Lund as vice-president; and Bob Tepley to take the minutes and hold the purse strings. Our main contribution to SPHS that year was the biggest and best bonfire ever. We also contributed a float to the homecoming parade in which we TRIED to follow the slogan Reign Over the Redbirds. Our year of preparation for senior high passed all too quickly. As we began our sophomore year we realized that we were now official members of the senior high and to help us struggle through this year were Mrs. Olsen, Mr . Kurseth, and Mr . McPherson. Elected to preside over us that year were Tom Edwards as president; Rich Lambert as vice-president; and Beth Klocow as secretary- treasurer . We Scalded the Baldies to put a final touch on our first homecoming dance. The cutest one-act play was given that year--THE FIRST MRS. PARIS. The Valentine's Dance with the theme Hearts and Roses was a big success missed by few. As we entered school for our junior year, we all realized what a big and exciting year we had before us. To guide us along the road to success we had Mr. Schaible and Miss Bergjord. Class officers were Greg Mead, president; Louise Gillham, vice- president; Linda Warning, secretary; and Rosie Schmit, treasurer. We Fleagled the Eagles while Elaine Huse and Judy Reid served as our junior attendants. Our Christmas Dance centered around the theme Santa Claus is Coming to Town and we had a real Santa there to pass out candy canes! Our class play, PILLOW TALK, was our really big step in dramatics. It was a smashing success with standing room only! We switched from dramatics to the world of art to produce the best prom ever, EVENING IN ATHENS. Many hours of hard, but happy work were put into it to make it a huge success. Everyone enjoyed the music of Marv Tenhoff and his orchestra. The happy day finally arrived toward the end of the school year, and everyone raced down to the jewelers to get their long awaited class rings. How proud we were! In September, 1964, we finally occupied the driver's seat. To guide us on our final journey we had Mrs . Chillstrom and Mrs . Zimmerman as class advisors . Rush Lind presided over us with Steve Ziegler assisting him. Lee Ann Lurth kept the notes while John Headlee collected the money. In our senior year we were very proud to have as our foreign exchange student, the charming Claudette Pickering. We are all better for having known her . Tim Bloomquist presided over the student body. Embalm New Ulm became our homecoming cry as New Ulm invaded St. Peter for homecoming. Our class produced the sweetest homecoming queen ever as Queen Joy reigned over the homecoming activities. Her stately princesses were Elaine Huse and Lee Ann Lurth. Our senior class play, THE PEOPLE VERSUS MAXINE LOWE, was an eye-opener. We worked hard and were proud of the favorable comments that it received. Soon after Easter we were guests at the prom and banquet put on for us by the juniors. Skip Day was a ball never to be forgotten by the happy and carefree seniors. Our last days at SPHS were busy ones. As we leave, our class motto voices our last request. 16 Leaders of the Class CLASS COLORS Gold and White RUSH LIND He thinks like a philosopher and acts like a king.

Many will have to admit it was a success. The biggest aim of the council this year was to promote school spirit, strengthen the power of the Student Council, and to make the student body of St. Peter High School realize that the little rules made for them must be inforced to make St. Peter High School a leader among other schools. Even though the Student Council has not per- fected nor reached all of its goals, it started a path for councils in years to come. S. Lund; Vice President; T. Bloomquist, Presi- dent; D.

First of all I would like to say a special thank you to my foster A- merican family who:have done everything to make my stay here a memorable one. To my teachers who have been very unded standing and kind, I will always remember the looks of surprise on their faces when the heard about my hom T. To the students who have all made me feel at home, especially close friends who will not forget the very e- ventful December 12, and to the other citizen of St. Peter7it was just a pleasure meeting you all. Thanks bless you all having me. May God tte A.

Homecoming, 1964. Queen candidates, pos- ters, discussions” on tradition, and buttons led up to the big weekend. Books were some- how forgotten in the frenzy of preparations. By Thursday afternoon the tension was high. The votes were in and counted. Who won? The freshmen were busy tidying up the surrounding area by collecting junk to be burned at the bon- fire. The enthusiasm was mounting. After the energetic pep fest on Thursday night, Sandy Witty and Pat Dowling regained their composure for a brief rehearsal in the gym. Final prepa- rations were made on the stage. A few more napkins and it was time for sleep at last! It was surprizing how many details needed finishing on Friday. By two o'clock all was ready for the coronation. Who was queen? Our student body president, Tim Bloomquist, show- ed his ability to ham up at every opportunity. Even faculty members were on the edge of their chairs when he finally crowned Joy Bab- cock, Homecoming Queen, 1964. An inter- esting addition was added to the coronation this year--that of having a former Homecoming Queen as speaker. Scooter” Johnson, Home- coming Queen, 1961, proved a regal and fas- cinating speaker. The game with New Ulm on Friday night colored the scene as SPHS began its second night of celebration. After an exciting game, the Alumni Tea and Homecoming Dance cli- maxed the weekend. 49 Kathy Keller, Queen Joy Babcock, Miss Iowa: Carol Scooter Johnson. The prom of 1964 brought to all who attended an Evening in Athens. Miss Bergjord and Mr. Schaible--our class advisors-- helped us to recreate ancient Greece through an elegant banquet, complete with ancient Greek dress, served dinner and ushered. The gym was transformed into Greece itself, with a gold statue of a Greek god, and flowered vines winding around stately, chalk- white pillars. Marv Tennhov and his band supplied music throughout the evening. The Prom—1964 The Parthenon 50 Under the guidance and supervision of Miss Wilharber, along with her sound ad- vice and her sense of humor, the Pep Club achieved something this past year. First on the Pep Club agenda was the weekly Wednesday night meetings. At these meetings posters were made. What kind of posters? The beautiful posters with the cute little sayings that decorated the classroom bulletin boards, and sometimes the walls. These posters were to encourage teams and to boost the school spirit. Pep Club members also assisted the Student Council in stuffing napkins in the backdrop for homecoming. This year Sadie Hawkins went modern. The annual turn about affair was called Beatnik Bop. Modern art, including paintings, sculptures, and a huge mobile decor- ated the village” for the dance. Refreshments were served and a good time was had by all who attended. To top off the dance, Connectin'Clyde” and Partin'Pete were present to hitch and unhitch the numerous couples. Buttons were sold this past year to try to get the club out of the red after pur- chasing new sweaters for the A-squad cheerleaders. Not much luck was had but all those who did buy a button will treasure them for years to come--we're sure. The Pep Club members made their appearance at the games and usually yelled themselves hoarse. The Girls' Athletic Association started off with a bang this year, - -a volley ball net dropped. Our sportsminded females engaged in volley ball, bowling, swimming, basketball, and individual sports (weight lifting?) The casualties included sprained fingers (from too tight bowling balls), singed eyelashes (from hot hair dryers), and broken finger nails (from puncturing volley balls.) All in all though, the girls had a very enjoyable and successful year. SENIORS: FIRST ROW: M. Gasta, S. Andrews, B. Drantel, S. Babcock, S. Hammond, B. Damrow, K. Erickson, M. Johnson, S. Johnson, C.

Farms visited were Richard Willaert's, Gary Hayer's, and Darwin Gunderson's with lunch being served there. In August, the St. Peter chapter was invited to a softball game, joint meeting, and watermelon feed by the Cleveland F.F.A. chapter. St. Peter emerged victorious in the game and also closed the joint meeting. During Capital Days, the chapter presented the F.F.A. Sweetheart, Donna Os- borne, in the Capitol Days parade. Steve Ziegler stayed at the State Fair Boy's Camp as a usher in the grandstand and was elected back as honor captain. The chapter won the Swine Herdmanship plaque with David Boys winning Reserve Champion with his Duroc boar in the Swine Show. The District 13 Leadership meeting was held on Sep- tember 21, 1964, at Waconia. Mike Stoffregen as District Vice-President and Steve Ziegler as District Treasurer along with delegates from the chapter attended the meeting. The District passed a resolution which in effect revised the State F.F.A. contest awards. The St. Peter chapter won the bid for the District Banquet held at Gustavus Adolphus College. Elections were held in the October meeting for chapter officers for 1965. The fol- lowing were elected: President--Ronald Pherson, Vice -President--Gary Hayer, Secre- tary--Ronald Ernsting, Treasurer--David Mogenson, Reporter--Richard Willaert, Sentinel--David Boys and Historian--Larry Seitzer. In the November meeting, the new Chapter farmers were installed. Jackie Davis, a freshman, and Ronald Pherson, a junior, won the District Soil Conservation Speaking Contest in their respective divisions. The chapter contributed $250 to Camp Courage in this month. During December the chapter completed its calendar program with the First National Bank of St. Peter. Newly elected officers were installed along with the Greenhands during the January meeting. Mr. Sauer, the school counsellor, spoke to the chapter on career opportunities. The eighth--graders and their parents attended this meeting.

At the District meeting this year, the St. Peter chapter received an award, a set of songbooks, for gain- ing the most new members of any chapter in our district. Posters were designed to promote good eating manners in the lunchroom. The Christmas party was enjoyed by all, with Barney Livingston as our Santa to pass out the gifts. A Christmas gift was given to an anonymous stu- dent, and the chapter has learned that the gift was very much appre- ciated. Claudette's delicious Barba- does coconut bread and other home- made goodies were made and sold to the faculty and a later sale brought these available to others. Four grad- uating members were awarded their F.H.A. pins, which they achieved last year but were unable to receive until this fall. They are Karen Dev- laeminck, Karen Erickson, Darlene Davis, and Mary Trnka. The present active members will achieve their pins or respective degrees by work- ing a number of hours on chapter, State, and National projects and by passing a special homemaking test. Mrs. Dorothy LoFstrom is advisor to the homemaking group. 57 Biology--J. Emerson, M. Colin, W. Block, R. Anderson, C. Hamrum, E. Holz, J. Boettcher, S. Greenig, D. Hyduke, J. Kurseth, Advisor: Mr. Kurseth. Science Club Although our many young scientists have failed to discover anything new, they are discovering the joys of research. The research facilities are excellent and the advisors will gladly help you get star- ted on a project of your choice. In fact, if you have a hard time choosing, they will gladly start you on a project of their choice. You may work in three areas. The biology room, under the supervision of Mr. Kurseth, is well stocked with microscopes and dissecting tools. It has a wide range of possibilities for those interested in nature. The chemistry room, supervised by Mr. Erickson, is for those more interested in chemical reactions or physical properties of matter. If you prefer burned fingers to the smell of formaldehyde, this is the room for you. The photographers meet in the darkroom to develop pictures? Here you may learn the art of arranging fudge factors so that they cancel each other out! Science—D. Runkle, T. Bloomquist,C. Aslesen, S. Lund, C. Peterson, S. Davis, S. Hawkes, L. Hanson, M. Rol- lins, C. Anderson, D. Nickle, Advisor: Mr. Erickson. 58 Lettermen''s Club The Letterman's Club met every other Monday morning in the Little Theater. The advisor, Mr. Hillger, and the officers; President, John Headlee; Vice-President, Sam Lund; and Secretary, Whitey Pehrson, led the group. This year the club bought a new camera and pic- tures were taken at many of the games. The con- cession stand was run by the non-participating Letter- men at the football games, basketball games, and wrestling meets. 59 Library Club This year the Library Club consisted of twelve members of the Junior and Senior classes. Directed by Mrs. Tur- ritin, they shelved books, collected fines, and tried to keep the students in order. They are to be commended for doing a fine job. A THLETICS The 1964 Football Season was a season of inexperience, disappointments, and an occasional feeling of satisfaction. The 1964 football record does not reveal the en- thusiasm and spirit that the team revealed throughout the season. Surely no member of the squad can forget those long, hot summer practices. On the boards, drive, dri--i--ive and you're walkin! were all emphatic, memorable phrases that every member of the 1964 squad will remember. Although the old statement, It matters not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game may be true; the squad, felt that it would have been a lot better season if they had won a few more games. In the years to come, the young players of last year’s squad under the fine coach- ing of Mr. Thompson, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Nesheim and Mr. Brunger will win their share of football games.

The 1964-65 St. Peter High School Basketball Team was termed inexpe- rienced. The year before the squad was composed mostly of seniors, not leaving much room for experience for the others. Some people would call it a growing year. The team was composed of four seniors, five jun- iors, and three sophomores. Al- though they were a young team, they played as well as could be expected. The season's schedule was high- lighted by the Holiday Tournament at Janesville. The Saints came out of that tournament champions, defeat- ing Waterville in their first game and Janesville in the championship round. They placed two members on the all-tournament team--Ed Waltman and Greg Mead. They were coached fervently by Mr . Arlan Burmeister, whom all members regard- ed with high esteem.

Wrestling This year's expectations of the wrestling team did not run high because eight members of the 1964 squad graduated. However, the four returning underclassmen provided a stable framework around which a team was built. High praise must not only be given to the team members, but also to the molders of the team, the coaches. The value of the time, energy and advice which Mr. Schaible and Mr. Nelson have given to the wrestlers can never be measured. Their relationship to the team was more than coach to athlete; they were friends and advisors of maturing young men. B SQUAD M. Lambert 127 B. Kockow 145 E. Johnson 175 J. Headlee 127 T.

Three of last year's top players were gradutated and our conference has always produced fine tennis players. There was no reason to believe that the caliber of confer- ence competition would lessen. They had to assemble all of their skills to procure a standing for the year. Under the guidance of Mr. Sipes, the coach, they had to smooth over the rough spots in each individual's playing for singles. Then they had to match two players who could play well together consistently for the teams doubles. Golf The golf team, under the direction of Mr. Aanonson, is looking forward to a winning year. Only one member of the 1964 team was graduated, leaving six returning lettermen: Frank Burg, John Headlee, Gary Aslesen, Brad Burch, Ken Headlee, and Don Lorhammer. The team expects to play Le Sueur and New Prague twice, in our conference, and other surrounding school teams. Many think of golf as an exciting and difficult sport; the members need good timing and they strive for perfection. They were unable to play for three-fourths of a year and must practice diligently when the season opens. Our golf team usually does well and we wish them luck in the future. The St. Peter High track team has won the district championship for five years running and was expected to add to this record this year. The team participated in several new meets during the 1965 season including the Bloomington Track O'Rama and an indoor meet at Mankato. Both the district and conference meets were scheduled to be held in St. Peter, with every indication of a strong showing in both by Saint trackmen, coached by Mr. Braun - ger. The team was led by a number of returning lettermen and several promising underclassmen. Track FIRST ROW--S. Ziegler, E. Weber, R. Wright, W. Pehrson, R. Anderson, B. Wolfe, R.

Baseball The 1965 Baseball Team, despite a low record from last year, had a good outlook for the season. The coaches, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Neshiem, along with the team, had a lot of spirit and eagerness. The returning lettermen were; first baseman, Greg Mead; second baseman, Jerry Pehrson; third baseman, John McClellan; outfielder, Denny Koch; pitcher, Tom Her- gert; and catcher, Bob Lutz. The team was expecting some help from the Sophomores to make the squad complete. FRONT—J. Reule, P. Wright, S. Applin, D. Hyduke, J. Keogh, M. Paul, R. Weise. SECOND--W. Zimmerman, S. Johnson, G.

The cheerleaders have a big responsibil- ity in arousing school spirit and good sportsmanship. It is their responsibility to instill in the students a strong sense of loyalty and devotion to their school, by in- creasing attendance at games and obtaining the cooperation and respect of the students. Certainly the cheerleaders, both A and B squads, share in the groundwork for all these things. They have succeeded in help- ing the teams strive for victory. A big thanks goes to Miss Wiharber for her help and advice. Cheerleading B SQUAD: BACK; J. Anderson, K. Hoffman, M. Klockow, D. Haney. FRONT; R. Erickson, L. Martell. A SQUAD: 1. to r.; A.

They also presented a performance for the Thespian Alumni during the holidays. The Play, Hillbilly Christ- mas Carol, was a take-off on Dickens Christmas Carol. Joshua Frunheiser, played by Greg Mead, confirmed widower who lacked the Christmas Spirit. Widow Hinkley, Dianne Johnson, with the aid of her two children, Hiram, Tom Edwards, and Cora Belle, Becky Lund, managed to make Joshua her husband. But not without the help of Jolshua's neices and nephew. Minnie Sue, Sandy Leasure, Lizzie Ann, Camilla Lund, and Ozzie, Kay Juberien, put on a mock per- formance dealing with Christmas Past, Christmas Prest, and Christmas Future. The play proved hilarious to both audience and cast members. D. Johnson, B. Lund, S. Leasure, K. Juberian, T. Edwards, C. Lund. Senior Class Play This year the Senior Class Play, THE PEOPLE VERSUS MAXINE LOWE, was pre- sented in the fall of the year. The entire play takes place at the trial of Maxine Lowe, portrayed by Dianne Johnson, who was accused of murdering her husband, Daniel Lowe. She was defended by James Hathaway, a young attorney fresh out of law school, played by Tim Bloomquist. The great and mighty Warren Cass, Tom Edwards, was the Prosecuting Attorney assisted by Sandra Leasure who played Jessalyn Mere- dith the Assistant D.A. Jessalyn later turns out to be the daughter of Maxine by a previous marriage. Jessalyn changes to the defense position and with her aid Maxine is acquitted. Others in the cast included: A. Martens, R. Lind, C. Carlson, D. Moore, J. Dauffenback, L. Gillham, G. Mead, R. Lambert, R. Lund, B. Klowcow, M. Colin, K. Juberian, C. Lund. One-Act Contest Play St. Peter's entry for the District 13 Qne- Act Play Contest, Pink Lemonade For To- morrow. was given in Montgomery, Minne- sota. St. Peter came through with flying colors, receiving an A rating from all three judges. Also, Sandra Leasure was chosen as Best Actress of District 13. The cast consisted of Caroline Ramsey (Sandra Lea- sure), Tod Allen (Greg Mead), Sedonia Di- anne Johnson), and John Huntington Ramsey (Carl Carlson). Camilla Lund was Student Director and Tim Bloomquist was Stage Man- ager . The play rated second in the Region 4 Contest. And Sandra Leasure received Honorary Mention as Best Actress. This touching drama moved many in the audience to tears. And so, closed the sea- son of the 1965 Thespians. Photograph—Eric Foss Junior Class Play The Junior class play, PILLOW TALK, was one of the finest ever presented. There was standing room only on opening night. The cast was composed of some of the more talented members of our class. Jan Morrow, a successful interior decorator was por- trayed by D. Johnson. The male lead, Brad Allen, a song writer, was portrayed by G. Mead. Jonathon Forbes, the best friend of Brad Allen and hopeful lover of Jan Mor- row, was played by T. Edwards. C. Lund played Alma, Jan's maid. Others in the cast included T. Bloomquist, L. Gillham, D. Moore, M. Colin, B. Klockow, S. Lea- ure, J. Dauffenbach, J. Babcock, A. Martens, B. Barnes, K. Juberian, R. Lind, D. Davis, K. Hinnenthal, S. Stotz, R. Lambert, A. Olmanson, andC. Strand. Jan and Brad have to share a party line and Brad is very obnoxious when it comes to sharing the phone equally. In a mutual agreement they arrange a time schedule for the phone. Jonathon wants to marry Jan and tells his friend Brad about her. When Brad discovers who she is, he arranges to date her without her knowing who he really is. It proved to be a very entertaining comedy. And as usual boy gets girl, with Brad falling in love with Jan and later marrying her. DEBATE FIRST ROW: J. McPherson, G. Dummer, L. Weydert, M. O'Brien, M. Gustafson, L. Burke, H. Marso.
