Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1941 volume:

c Jke Himteen PUBLISHED BY THE GRADUATING CLASS OF THE UNIVERSITY HIGH SCHOOL, UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA. MINNEAPOLIS between ClaAAeA V. View. Why does a student keep a notebook? To record what he has seen, heard, and done, and be able to recall it by looking through his notebook. That is why we, the seniors of 1941, have made this notebook for all the students to keep: to help them remember what they have seen, heard, and done during the school year. The school year is full of happenings worth remembering. We hope that this BISBILA will help you recall your school life: your friends and classes, your interests and accomplishments. 1 aide QcudenU For the faculty we sweat and slave.....................5 Hardworkers, comics, and great kids — our seniors . . II With the accent on youth..........................23 Where we worked and played........................29 Workouts and training.............................41 And now comes the fun.............................53 Remember our advertisers 63 To the underclassmen this Bisbila will brins back memories of this school year which is typical and yet in many ways so different from other years. But especially to the seniors, who are leaving U. High's halls with feelings of gladness mingled with regret, this book will be meaningful. Life at U. High, day after day. week after week, if completely recorded would fill volumes. Even one day of a typical student would make an interesting story. It would bring a chuckle here and sympathy there along with many memories, for to each student the typical story would recall his own days at U. High. The unexpected doily excitements that make life so much fun. the clubs’ activities, the football games, the noon hour dances, and the special school functions all spell U. High to the students. So. seniors, in future years read this book and remember, for this Bisbila is to commemorate your life at U. High for both you and the underclassmen. By them and the faculty — you. the class of 1941, will not be forgotten. R I R r II U II n 9 tf si the faculty, we dwecd and dlaue — the denote we obey — hut what would we do without them . . . 1 V I R II II u n q i q q q a q fl q w q q Mr. William S. Carlton, Director Mr. James E. Curtis, Assistant Director To the Seniors of 1941 University High School solutes you as you leave her halls. She has given you of her best, and we hope that she has been successful in passing to you something of her imperishable spirit. That you may wont to pursue serious scholarship as an avocation, if not as a vocation, is a wish we offer you most sincerely. Be not deceived by the lure of little, cheap, immediate rewards which you may detect in the immediate future. You will find that an honest job, honestly done, is essential to full self-respect. But. in seeking your life work, do not fail to fix your mind on the more distant horizon. on the things of larger import, the things which will affect the welfare of your generation, and of your country. In a few short years you will be ready to meet the great adventure of life. We trust that you will meet it os men and women — loyal, honorable, unafraid. 'William £. CadUon The gravity of the present world crisis has made our faculty especially critical of our new curriculum in light of the unpredictable problems our graduates will face. Formal education in itself is not enough. We hove constantly endeavored to extend the program of U. High beyond the so called traditional. The success of our undertakings as a secondary school can not be measured by aims and objectives os we state them, but rather in your success os graduates in meeting the problems of the future. We hope that your high school preparation has been stimulating and challenging, and will serve as a solid foundation for the varying programs you are now to follow. Congratulations and best wishes.

Senate The organization that lays down the laws at University High School is the student governing body, commonly known as the Senate. The representatives from each of the classes meet during the lunch hour to discuss the various student problems which come up during the year. This year s president, elected by the entire student body, was John Geist. He was heartily backed up by John Marvin, vice-president: Marjorie Boberg. secretary: and Fred Clapp, treasurer. With Mr. Virgil Walker, the adviser, keeping his careful eye on them, the worthy senators have many accomplishments to their credit this year. University High School is now in complete control of the Cafeteria in Shevlin Hall during the lunch hour, so the Senate rolled up its sleeves and planned recreational activities for the students. Dancing to the music of a phonograph was the most popular of those furnished. The efforts of the Senate to present a successful Homecoming Dance were well rewarded, for the annual event was much appreciated. The Senate ■’chambers were filled with an air of the North Woods and the clash of axes as the members pondered over the advice they gave as the advisory board to the Carnival Board in planning Paul Bunyan's Fun Frolic. A new law was passed and enforced by the Senate when it was announced that each club and organization must have an official charter given out with the approval of the Senate committee. The plan attempts to recognize only the clubs and organizations which are beneficial to the school and eliminates those which are of no value. This year for the first time University High was host to a convention of the Northwest Federation of Student Councils. The Senate entertained the delegates with a dance held at the Coffman Memorial Union.

For recreation in the fall quarter an outdoor get-together in the form of a pow-wow was sponsored by the class. Everyone had such a good time that the tenth graders plan to have the same kind of entertainment every year. Miss Margaret Day, the amiable adviser to the class, says that she thinks it a good idea. At Paul Bunyan's Fun Frolic the class took over the selling of that all-around favorite, ice cream. As candidates for Queen of Paul Bunyan's Carnival, the sophomores nominated Jane Gaver and Janet Anderson. The Mothers’ Tea Committee was headed by Barbara King.

Breezy Journalists Friday is the deadline for all Breeze assignments.' This familiar phrase rang insistently in the ears of our journalism students who work as reporters on the Campus Breeze. Under the supervision of Miss Bertha Handlan, Co-editors Corinne Holt and Warren Ernst, Associate Editor Jim Henly, Feature Editor Beverly Feldmann, Sports Editor John Geist, and News Editors Ruth Davis and Virginia Weyl have combined their efforts in an attempt to streamline the makeup and vary it in each issue. Other staff members were: Dick Noland, advertising manager; Ray Shannon, business manager; Pat English, exchange editor; Margaret Dunn and Fred McNee, art editors; Elinor Healy and Jim Christensen, rewrite editors. In addition to their regular jobs, the Breeze and Bisbila staffs, led by their brave and sarcastic editors, took some time off purely for feudin' purposes. Peaceful joint-occupation of the journalism office was achieved, however, after hostilities ceased. We're Responsible The staff of the Bisbila was headed this year by Sam Lewis, editor-in-chief. Jane Stinchfield and Pat English were senior editors, and Florence Bouthilet was in charge of the faculty section. Katherine Girton and Marjorie Rosenberg were feature editors. Jean Ferrin and Bob Sage handled the sports, and Eugenie Sampson and James Christensen edited the organization section. Margaret Dunn, as art editor, was responsible for the makeup, engraving pasteup, division pages, and cover design. Karin Wiese, business manager, kept the budgets and finance straight, and Ruth Davis handled the advertising. To help the staff along when the going was tough. Mrs. Claude Merideth acted as adviser. Merits should be given to juniors Gardner, Hart, Hartnett, Montonna, Norris. Power, Rhodes, Rydell, Strouse, Wells, and Watson, to typist Myers, and to student photographers Leaf and Cairns.

A Credit to the School Headed by Ruth Davis as president, and Corinne Holt as secretary-treasurer, the members of Acme, the girls’ honorary society, have been very active during the past year. Serving at P. T. A. meetings, discussing possible solutions for student problems, and aiding the Red Cross have been some of the ways the members have made themselves of service. Bertha Handlan and Miss Mary McCracken acted as advisers. Members elected in the winter quarter, not pictured. are Pat English, Eugenie Sampson. Betty Chreiman, Marion Harvey, Peggy Shannon, and Katie Washburn. Monthly meetings of Dragomen, the boys' honorary society, were devoted this year to discussion of student problems at University High. President Fred Clapp. Vice-president Roy Pieper, and Secretary-treasurer Fred McNee were assisted by Adviser James E. Curtis in leading a campaign to build up a spirit of cooperation and responsibility among the student body. New members were presented with Dragomen keys at the banquet held at the Minnesota Union. Members elected too late to be included in the picture were: Seniors. Don Fraser and Warren Ernst; Juniors, Jerry Friedell and Bill Emmons. These industrious looking students are members of Quill and Scroll, national high school journalistic honor society. The students are U. High's top ranking journalists from the senior and junior classes. The annual selection of members is based on high scholarship and outstanding work on the two school publications: Campus Breeze, the school’s monthly paper, and Bisbila, the school’s year book. High scholarship at University High is rewarded by membership in the National Honor Society. About five per cent of each year's junior class qualify for election while approximately fifteen per cent of the senior class become members. Results of the elections are announced each year at Commencement exercises, where the new junior members customarily serve as ushers. P«gc Thirty-two Conversationalists The members of U. High's Speech Club opened their activities for the school year of 1940-41 with a speech festival. Events in debate, extemporaneous speaking, oratory, and interpretative reading took place in regular classrooms during the two days. The festival directed by Margaret Dunn, chairman: Marjorie Colman, president: Frayda Myers, vice-president-treasurer: and Katherine Girton, secretary was attended by representatives from Minneapolis and Lake District schools. All the speech members this year participated in many contests. The debaters took an active part in many contests during the year; North, South. West, Blake. Cretin, Bloomington Highs, and Minnehaha Academy were among those that were met in verbal combat. The other divisions of the club entered the district meet held in Bloomington and were all rated Excellent,'' and as a result they competed in the regional meet at St. Cloud. With Mr. Gerald Voelker and Mr. Ray Kehl as advisers, members of the declamation, debate, and radio groups of the Speech Club have worked to improve their techniques. Learned Librarians How do you find an item in the Reader's Guide?'' How do you use the card catalogue?' Where are the back-number Time magazines kept? The answers to these and many other questions are common knowledge to the members of the library board. This organization takes care of much of the mechanical end of running the library. There are three librarians for each period. Each one of these persons has a different job assigned to him. One of the jobs is to help students find back-number magazines in the old magazine section. At the reserve desk, the second librarian checks in and out books that can be kept only one period. The third job is at the circulation desk where all other books in the library are checked. The head librarian, Miss Mabel Jack-man. and her assistant. Miss Alice Domier. teach the students how to use the facilities in our library. TOP: RADIO: BACK ROW: K. Sexton, Harding, Hart, Ferret.

P I P P P P Parisian Style When your best beau asks. Voulez-vous prome-ner avec moi ce soir? instead of his usual How about a stroll tonight, Hona Chile? , don't be too disturbed. It's only the remarkable influence of the French enthusiasts at U. High. Anyone who is taking French at the present time or who has taken it in the past is eligible for membership in the French Club. The officers for this year were: Ann Hannigan. president; Virginia Weyl. vice-president; Jane Gaver. secretary: and Elizabeth Thomas, treasurer. They planned, among other activities, the traditional French Club Christmas party. Every member looked forward to this gala affair where Perc Noel distributed gifts: after games and carol singing, refreshments were served. The Night Club concessions were very enthusi- astically received. The entertainment included a troupe of beautiful can-can dancers, Sampson and Halstead in their famous Conga number, and, as a special attraction, a dramatization of Salomie and the Lion. In this skit, Leo, the raging lion, gracefully succumbed to the charms of the heroic and masterful Hindu Prince. Miss Mery Jo Walker, the club's adviser, doesn't recommend that you try this unless you're an old hand at training wild animals. At their bi-monthly meetings, the club had many interesting programs — for example, a talk on South America given by a student teacher of Spanish who had spent many years in Panama. With these varied activities the U. High French students balanced their year's program of work, study, and fun. P P P P P R R R Page Thirty-four R B U 0 0 8 a a Real Romans To those persons who have wondered where the renowned cake that was raffled off at carnival time came from, we now introduce the Latin Club and its adviser, Miss Eleanor Marlowe. Miss Marlowe's cakes have become an important tradition at carnival time and have bolstered the club's finances. A fish-pond sponsored by the Romans at Paul Bunyan's Fun Frolic was also a benefit. With the help of the money made at the carnival and from club dues, the traditional Latin Club Banquet was held again this year in May. The members tried to act as much like authentic Romans as possible with Roman food in Roman style. Entertainment for this banquet is traditionally supplied by speeches, movies, or Latin students themselves, and the banquet is always regarded as a big affair. One of the time honored institutions of U. High, the Latin Club, was started to present to the students phases of the language and of Roman life that weren't included in the classwork. Every person who takes Latin automatically is a member of the club, which entitles him to come to the fourth hour meetings and to wear a Latin Club pin. Programs on such subjects as Roman houses. Roman children, parties and dress in old Rome were given at these meetings, and in the regular class periods. Sometimes Roman games or games built on the use of Latin words were played by club members. Phyllis Jesness as president. Dick Noland as vice-president. Betty Kuehn as secretary, and Florence Bouthilet as treasurer guided the programs and activities of the club this year. a a a 8 8 TOP: 3rd ROW: C. Brown. Moberg. John Allen, Huttlcby, Noah. Fancy.

P P P n H H Der Deutsche Verein The average person s conversation in German is usually confined to Gesundheit!' and Danke-shon!.‘ but the members of the German Club, influenced by Jack Geist. president: Jack Wallis, vice-president: Betty Koalska, secretary-treasurer: and Miss Lucy Will, adviser, have improved their powers immensely this year. The purpose of the club is to foster a feeling of fellowship among the students enrolled in German and its aim seems to have been accomplished. Every German student automatically becomes a member and there are no dues, which makes the German Club one of the larger organizations in the school. The all important money situation was solved this year by the sale of hot dogs and confetti at Paul Bunyan's Fun Frolic. The Camivalites were in the mood for the treasury showed a marked profit. Most of the proceeds of the German Club's business deals are used for the scholarships which are awarded each year at Commencement. The principal. members of the personnel department, and Fraulein Will decide on the students to whom the awards are to be given on the basis of exceptional ability in German and leadership in school activities. Each scholarship amounts to fifteen dollars, or one quarter's tuition at U. High, and it is required that the student take German while enjoying the scholarship. Chief Justice John P. Devaney has made the awards official by affixing the documents with the seal of the State of Minnesota. The German Club also sponsors annually a large get-together in the form of a party or picnic. This is open to all U. High students and is famous for its good food and enjoyable entertainment. P P P R P n n n Page Thirty- R 9 II a a H a a TO : 4th HOW: K. Sciton, Colmjn. Erick-ton, Learned, R.

High's aspiring Sarah Bernhardts and John Barrymores head straight for the Dramatic Club where they hope that maybe a talent scout might see them and send them off to stardom. Seriously, however, the University High School Dramatic Club is beneficial to students who wish to develop their dramatic abilities. Tryouts are held at the beginning of each year, and the results allow only those who show some dramatic ability to become members. El II I The numerous meetings held during the year were devoted mainly to business and entertainment furnished by the members themselves. The officers elected this year were: Carol Lowe, president; Marjorie Dumas, vice-president; and John Marvin, secretary-treasurer. Adviser Voelker was able to give the club members many excellent suggestions and did fine work in directing the plays. Several times this year the Dramatic Club presented one act Behind the Footlights plays as entertainment at the all-school assemblies, and at the Carnival, club members entertained students and patrons with a one act play. The Rock Bench. The high point of the Club's program of the year was the production of its annual play, Hay Fever, a comedy by Noel Coward; this event took place toward the end of the fall quarter. To allow a greater number of the members to participate in the biggest production of the year, the play had different casts on the two nights that it was given. Playing important roles were Gwendolyn Cerney. John Menz, Marjorie Dumas, Bill Appel. Sally Davidson, James Henly. Connie Matovitz, Marilyn Stoven. Jim Christensen. Isabel Hyams, Jane Parks. Corinne Holt. Shirley Henderson, and Phyllis Firestone. The Dramatic Club was well repaid for its efforts by the attendance and applause with which Hay Fever was received.

High has had in years. A Christmas festival concert at the Music Auditorium highlighted the fall activities of the group in which Herman Seibert is president and Patricia Robbins is vice-president. As spring rolled around, the state choir contest furnished an incentive for the organization's efforts. CARNIVAL BOARD — BOTTOM: Left to right: Briggs, S. Taylor, D.

With Margaret Dunn, president; Ruth Davis, vice-president; Dorothy Watson, secretary; and Katie Washburn, treasurer, the club sponsored a fall assembly presenting Mr. Hoff, creator of the column Hawf and Hawf, who gave one of his entertaining chalk-talks. Many members of the club used the art room to work on extra-curricular projects, and several worked on decorations for the carnival. Mr. Laging, club adviser, says that talent, appreciation, and interest in art are the criteria for membership; members need not be enrolled in art classes.

The way the founders, under the leadership of President John Hastings, Treasurer Dick Nelson, and Secretary Peggy Field, went about organizing the club, writing its constitution. and engaging in the new activities demonstrated that it will be a permanent institution at U. High. According to Mr. Micheels. adviser, activities carried out this year included building many stick model planes and a few gas models.

Feminine Socialites Members of the Senior and Junior High Girls' Club Cabinets and Councils are installed annually at the Mothers' and Daughters' Banquet in the spring quarter. In 1940 those given the ruling powers were Nancy Arntsen, president: Peg Shannon, vice-president; Jane Gaver. secretary; and Elinor Healy, treasurer, from the senior high; and Demie Englebcrt. president; Jeanne Bouthilet. vice-president: Imogene Boberg. secretary; and Mary Emslie, treasurer, from the junior high. Filling Thanksgiving baskets and wrapping dolls at Christmas, sponsoring the new and different stag dances.' planning a Halloween Party, making posters, sending flowers and cards to the sick, and arranging interesting business meetings constituted the activities of the Social Service. Ways and Means. Entertainment, Publicity, Friendship, and Program committees, respectively. Around carnival time the senior high lassies sold buttons as part of the publicity for U. High's Pauls and Paulettes. — Remember those four extra buttons you bought? A really unique and practical idea struck the junior high girls when they thought of selling those gay corsages as their part in the carnival. These same girls frolicked at several parties and held business meetings. At one of these, a student from the University Nursing School talked to them about opportunities for girls in this field. Major events of the year included the Mothers' Teas, and the Mothers and Daughters Banquet. Each class choose its various committees and its chairman to arrange the teas. The adviser, Miss Mary McCracken, assisted in planning these teas and the banquet, which was held at the Coffman Memorial Union on May 17.

H H Page Forty-four H Nineteen-Forty Season Storting the 1940 football season on Friday the 13th, the Little Gophers were halted by a stubborn Murray Team 6-0. After a hard fought first quarter, Bob Lee of Murray recovered a fumble behind the U. High goal line for a touchdown in the second quarter. The try for the extra point was partially blocked, and the score remained at 6-0. Later in the second half, the Little Gophers battled to within ten yards of a touchdown, but here their long drive was stopped. Scoring two counters early in the game, the Parkers defeated U. High 13-0. Jack Beaulieu of Park chalked up all 13 pointers. When few seconds remained in the first half a pass from Frank Booth to Bud Shannon connected to place the pigskin on Park's five yard marker; however, the gun spoiled any chance of a Little Gopher score. For U. High Dick Ohrbeck, Dutch Geist. and Captain Bob Sage starred on defense, while Fred McNee's punting also stood out. University High School was defeated by a small but shifty Excelsior team with a score of 16-0. Excelsior ran up their first points on a fumble behind the Maroon and Gold goal line. The ball was recovered by Fred McNee, but Excelsior was given two points. The Little Gophers showed power, but not enough to stop the shifty plays of the opposition, who soon added their first touchdown to make the score 9-0 at the end of the quarter. The scoring ended with an Excelsior touchdown and a true conversion in the third quarter bringing the points to 16-0. Smashing and plunging at the Robbinsdale gridders, U. High played their best football this season against the Lake District Champs for 1940. It was necessary for the Robbins to come from behind in the last few minutes of play to tie the ball game at 6-6. The Little Gophers returned the kick off. only to lose it on the Robbinsdale five yard line. The ball see-sawed in a nip and tuck battle until in the second half, when Captain Bob Sage blocked a punt and Fred McNee fell on the pigskin for the only U. High tally. In the few remaining minutes of the game. Robbinsdale pushed over the Maroon and Gold line making the tie 6-6. Led by Bud Shannon, U. High trampled a weak Wayzata squad 26-6 in a contest played under the lights at Northrop Field. Frank Booth broke loose and streaked 25 yards for the first U. High counter. The conversion split the poles and the score stood at 7-0. A pass combination from Shannon to Geist clicked for the second U. High touchdown. Wayzata turned the tables and snared their only touchdown through a pass attack. After a series of power plays, Shannon raced 25 yards for another U. High tally. With about three minutes left to play. Fred Clapp, the Little Gopher center, intercepted a pass and galloped 65 yards for the final touchdown. In spite of a strong start in the first half of the Hopkins game, the Little Gophers were weakened by many injuries and overpowered by Hopkin’s superior strength and shifty halfback. Bud Dunn. Except for a startling kick-off return for a ninety yard touchdown by Bud Shannon, U. High halfback. the Little Gophers were the trailers in a score 33-6. Because of injuries. McNee was unable to perform, and Shannon was eliminated for the rest of the season. Although the score of the last game of the season was 0-0, the Little Gophers gained twice the yardage of their opponents and netted ten first downs to Mound’s four. The team-mates fought their hardest but were held within the goal lines. Roy Pieper battered through the Mound offense, and Jerry Friedell smashed through the Mound defense. This was the lest University High School football game for thirteen graduating seniors. The season ended with a total of one win. two ties, and four losses. Hats off to a scrappy Little Gopher team.

High cagers. weakened by the loss of Judd Welliver and by a lack of reserves. lost three straight games to Murray. Hopkins, and Excelsior with scores of 35-19. 42-21. and 37-35. Led by Captain Bob Sprafka and Center Jack Wallis, the Little Gophers gained their lost momentum and defeated Wayzata and Mound 32-27 and 23-19. A polished Park team won over U. High. 36-24. and Robbinsdale. after trailing up to the third quarter, nosed out the Little Gophers. 39-37. Junior Skoglund led Hopkins to victory. 42-29. After winning over Wayzata 31-28, U. High’s sharpshooters lost to Mound in the last seconds of the game, 34-32. Stretch Wallis became the scoring champion of the conference by bucketing 26 points against Excelsior out of a 42-23 victory. Park tipped U. High 29-26, and in the final game of the season, the Little Gopher quint defeated the Robbinsdale cagers 36-29. U. High's record stood at five wins and seven losses to tie Mound for fourth place. The first game in the subdistrict was against Robbinsdale. U. High built up an early lead and the game ended with a score of 29-27. In the district tournament. Chaska eliminated the Little Gophers from further competition by a 30-20 score. Jack Wallis, ace center of the buck-eteers, played brilliant ball and scored high throughout the season. Besides breaking the Lake Conference scoring record, he was rewarded with center position on the all-conference team. Captain Bobby Sprafka was a very effective defenseman and also a high scorer. A scrappy player. Bud Shannon is noted for his accuracy in free throws and baskets, and Big Biil Parrish, chosen for sportsmanship award by the team, is remembered for his long field goals from the middle of the floor. The only returning letterman from the first team was Tony Diehl, who was a steady player at the forward position. Fred Clapp and Dick Rieke, though unable to play for a good part of the season should also be accredited with good work. Other lettermen who turned in good records were Don MacRae and Ed Briggs.

Sp ashmen Shine Having the reputation of swimming against the toughest teams in the state, the Little Gopher swimmers splashed through this year in a highly successful fashion. Opening the season in a dose meet with Rochester. one of the strongest teams in southern Minnesota, the U. High mermen lost by two points. Two meets with Shattuclc followed, but the Shads continued to hold their eternal jinx over the U. High men. To assure victory against Blake School. Don Fraser, John Merrill, Bill Emmons. Jim Bray, and Dick Whitmore captured firsts in their events for a 36-30 lead. In the St. Thomas meet, the Little Gophers won 7 of the 8 firsts. The visiting Austin team outswam our mermen by a small margin in spite of Bray's defeat of their star diver. The highlight of the season was the defeat of Marshall, a top squad in the Minneapolis High School League, and winner in the City Meet. Co-captains Don Fraser and John Merrill were outstanding. Fraser winning the 50 and 100 yard dashes and Merrill the 100 yard back-stroke. Both teams were fast and lacking in second place winners: however. U. High won by a score of 39 to 36. In the Northwest Meet. U. High qualified an unprece dented number of men for the finals. Jim Bray, placing third, is going to be a strong contender for the state championship next year. Dick Whitmore copped a fifth in the breaststroke, and Merrill and Fraser took sixths in their respective events. The medley relay team placed fourth and established a new school record for that event with the time 1:29.6. Three other school records were set by Fraser in the 50 yard dash, :25.l. 220 yard free style. 2:31, and 100 yard breaststroke. 1:12.3.

Opening their outdoor season against Southwest High School, U. High was held to a 43-43 tie. In the Mound relays. U. High made its usual strong showing as Parrish. Bud Shannon. Frank Booth. Dick Whitmore and Dick Brown led the U. High runners, winning the medley and the mile relays. In defeating Marshall and Murray in a relay meet, the Little Gophers picked off three firsts and a second out of four events. The Little Gopher cindermen won over St. Thomas 53-51, with McNee. Brown. Parrish and the relay team capturing six first places. Again this season the tracksters journeyed to Northfield to take part in the Carleton Invitational Track Meet. Winning several events in their division, the Little Gophers finished high up in comparison to other schools in their division. The district meet followed the Carleton Meet, and U. High sent its usual large squad to compete. Placing several men in the district. U. High had a good representation in the regional track meet. Mr. Bill Schallmo coached this year's squad and turned in a fine job as he moulded an inexperienced team into a powerful aggregation. U.

The matmen were captained by wiry Judd Whitmore, a ninth grader, who placed third in the State Meet last season in the 125 pound division. Bob Cranston was the outstanding member of this year's team: he wrestled in seven meets and won six of them, the seventh being a draw with the state champ. Bob also placed third in the State Meet, in the 95 pound division. Also displaying good work were Dick Breidenbach in the 135 pound class. Bob Sage as a heavyweight, Dick Ohrbeck in the 165 pound class, and George Randolph in the 115 pound class. During the season the grapplers participated in seven meets with Lake Conference teams, winning two. tying one. and losing four. Divot Diggers This year, the U. High golf team, coached by Dr. William S. Carlson, placed well above average in the annual district play offs, with Bill Parrish again leading the team as high point man. Besides the district matches the golfers played Murray. Blake, Wayzata. St. Thomas. St. Louis Park, and Hopkins. That golf is a coming sport at U. High is indicated by the largest turnout in the history of the school — ten men took an active part during the season. Other regulars on the team were Howard Johnson. Ed Briggs. Don MacRae. and John Amberg. Net men Throughout a schedule including matches with Rob-binsdale, Blake. St. Paul Central, and Cretin, the U. High tennis team played a hard, good game. Several of the fellows were entered in the annual district playoffs. With Mr. Castleberry as coach, and John Geist the only veteran from the 1940 season, an unusually large number of men were out for tennis. Many underclassmen got experience in this season's play that should insure a strong net team next year. Page Forty-nine For Future years Kildow's Killer Dillers copped the championship from Amber's Hamburgers in the contest between two six-man football teams last fall. Although Amberg’s six won the first five, the Killer Dillers came from behind to win the remaining seven games and attain the championship. Coached by Bob Fitch of the University of Minnesota. this year s junior high-ites who went out for football had a well planned and executed program to take part in. The squad of eighteen fellows was split into two teams, nine on a team. Practices were held three afternoons a week from two-thirty to three-thirty. Inter-squad games were played on the other afternoons. Larry Clark earned the scoring honors for the season. and Gilbert Friedell and Ralph Nelson were the best passers. Best receivers were Friedell. Bill Kildow. Wright, and Bob Cranston: best blockers: Don Sage, Guy Cleveland. Orrin Stone, and Doug Footh: best centers: Howard Barrows. John Am-berg. and Cyrus Brown: best tacklers: Bob Nelson. Ralph Nelson, and George Randolph: best runners: Ralph Nelson. Bob Cranston and Orrin Stone: and the best messer uppers were Bart Baker. Dick Johnson, and Stuart Reedy. The equipment was all furnished by the players, except shoulder pads, which the school furnished. Small letters were given to the junior high-ites. Boys' Gym Classes Thanks to the work of Mr. Dave Bartelma and his staff of student teachers, this year's junior high and tenth grade gym classes have reached a new high in the variety of sports offered. During the fall quarter activities included football, archery, baseball, and swimming. All boys had a chance to take part in each of these. Classes in physical education met three times per week for one hour a day. Squash, wrestling, handball, swimming, track, and baseball kept the U. High boys busy during the winter quarter. Regular contests were held in each sport and intramural meets were arranged between the grades. Spring quarter brought training in outside track meets, volley ball, and archery. Interclass games were played in an atmosphere of keen rivalry, and the season ended with a combined track meet which included all gym classes. BACK ROW; J. Hcitcy, M. lobttg. King, S. Dunn, J. Alien.

The officers elected for this year were Marjorie Anderson, president; Marion Harvey, vice-president; Jane Parks, treasurer; and Sally Dunn, secretary. Unlike the Boys’ U. Club, the girls do not become members by earning a letter in some sport. This year a general quiz on athletics was given to all the girls who applied for membership. This quiz and the athletic interests shown by the girls were the basis for admitting members. Seventeen new members from the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades inclusive were admitted, and a week of initiation climaxed by a formal initiation followed the announcement of those to be admitted. Miss Eloise Jaeger was the club s adviser. With the help of Miss Jaeger arrangements were made so the girls could use the women's gym for various sports. During the spring quarter the warmer weather brought about more activities. Horseback riding at Breck School was one activity that was requested by several members. All of the girls were greatly interested in bowling at the new Union. Tennis and baseball were other outdoor sports that were popular with the girls. i Coeducational Recreation Something new—something entirely different was established this year as a part of the five-day gym program. This was the coeducational gym program. One day a week the seventh and eighth grades, the freshmen, and the sophomore boys and girls met together in Shevlin Cafeteria for an hour of fun. Games and dancing were pleasant diversions from the regular gym routine, as were badminton in Cooke Hall and bowling in the new Union. ■ Page Fifty-one Girts in Action This year, more than ever before, the U. High girls have had wonderful opportunities for a varied gym program: for, instead of the regular three-day-a-week physical education program, the girls have had gym five days a week. Each grade, seventh through tenth, was under the supervision of either Miss Eloise Jaeger or Miss Beatrice Baird. On three days of the week the girls took physical education. Two of these days were used for class instruction in the various games that were played. The third day of physical education initiated something new, the intramural day. The classes were divided into teams, and regular tournament games were played in such sports as speedball. volley ball, and baseball. During this intramural day the swimming classes played water games and made water formations. The tenth graders participated in a rifle tournament during the spring quarter. Another day of the week was devoted to health education, which was another new feature of this year's program. Instead of using the gym itself, the teacher and class would meet in a regular room where discussions on health in relation to gym work were held. During the fall quarter posture was discussed, and in relation to this a better carriage contest was sponsored. Sally Jesness was awarded a trophy for having the best posture while Shirley Thorne. Patricia Hardy, Jean Hersey. and Marilyn Stern placed second, third, fourth, and fifth respectively. Time was also spent in these discussions on the functional questions of physical education and on studying the physical examination. The fifth day of the week the girls and the boys got together in Shevlin Cafeteria for some relaxation and fun. Dancing and games were the highlights of this hour, while badminton and bowling were offered outside of Shevlin. Coeducational recreation had never been a part of the school program before this year. Because the many facilities of the Women's Gym are open to U. High students, the activities of physical education classes were varied. Speed-ball and volley ball were played during the fall quarter and basketball and swimming during the winter quarter. In the spring the junior highites played baseball and had rhythm work. The tenth graders were offered archery, tennis, and riflery. During the spring quarter the gym facilities were offered to junior and senior girls who do not usually take physical education. Swimming and modern dancing were the activities that were open to juniors and seniors who had a seventh hour study period.
