BISBILA 4 5 PUBLISHED BY THE CLASS DF 1345 OF UNIVERSITY HIGH SCHOOL MINNEAPOLIS MINNESOTA � “ I How many of us, at one time at least, have thought how nice it would be to have a wonderful new U. High? A beautiful, spacious, modern building with maybe (though we don’t wish to raise any false hopes) a water fountain that doesn't double for a shower bath nine-tenths of the time. Ah, dreamers, aren't we? But did you know that while not as yet in the blueprint stage, a new building is actually on the way? The old, familiar, green tiered walls we seniors have loved so well will soon be a thing of the past. As important as a new building seems to all of us. we. the seniors, have begun to realize now that another kind of building is more important — the building of a brighter, better World of Tomorrow. We know we'll not plan that world, not build it, but we do know that we. along with a lot of other people, must have a little part in the kind of world we shall have. DEDICATION The seniors of 1945 dedicate this Bisbila to Mr. Gordon M. A. Mork. University High School's new assistant director. Mr. Mork. who was our science teacher last year, has not only served as principal but has retained the chairmanship of the science department and has even on occasion pinch-hit as director of our band and choir. The senior class is grateful to him for making its graduation year one of great accomplishment and happy memories. Our Bisbila, marking as it does the completion of our first big job, might help remind us of the big jobs in which we must share in the future. 3 Here’s Where to Find It Faculty........................

Lester Anderson has been with us at U-High for four years now. In that time, he has made himself known to all of us as a man to look up to and respect. As the director of U-High, he is always ready to praise our accomplishments and is patient and understanding with all of our problems. Our director was born in Nebraska, but he received his graduate education in two different states. He went first to the Colorado State College of Education where he received his Master's Degree. From there he went to the University of Minnesota where he got his Ph.D. Dr. Anderson is one of those helping to plan the new U-High building which will be built after the war. He has many duties as a member of the University faculty. One of them is teaching classes for the College of Education. He is the director of student teaching, and he has charge of all the student teachers we have in our classes each quarter. He has served on many committees on the campus and has edited several books. He is also kept quite busy writing articles and making speeches. However his most important job is in connection with U-High. where he has charge of the U-High staff and students. The fact that he has done his job well is being proved to us every day. Personnel Do you have a problem? Mr. Clayton Gjerde. director of student personnel, is the man to help you. He gives individual consultation to any student who has a problem whether it be educational. social, personal, or vocational. Ever since December 7. 1941. Mr. G|erde has been indispensable to the boys who planned to enter the service. He helps the boys decide which branch of the service offers the best opportunities for their chosen occupation, what the advantages and disadvantages of each are. and any general information which they might need. When a prospective employer, college, or the armed forces ask for a recommendation of you. Mr. Gjerde gives it. The fall entrance examinations are under his supervision, end he has charge of the registration of new students. Mr. Gjerde is also one of the twelfth grade advisers. Mrs. Lois Turner is the girls' Mr. Anthony. Besides aiding them with any problem they might have, she has been particularly helpful in getting new girls adjusted to a different school and students. This year the Senior High Girls' Club has tried to help the girls decide upon a chosen profession. Mrs. Turner, as co-adviser, has arranged for speakers from the various fields to address the girls. Her friendliness would give her A in school spirit. This is reflected in the members of the Pep Club, of which she is adviser. It was with great disappointment that we learned that she was leaving at the end of winter quarter. She went to an excellent position as Dean of Women at the Winona State Teachers College. 6 Math Department Mrs. Lois Turner is known throughout the school as the teacher of that famous trig class. In addition to this, she is known to all through her work in the girls’ organizations of the school. She's the one who cheers the loudest at all the games, keeping up our school spirit. Miss Olive Prine, who came to us two years ago from the Minnesota Braille school, has shown her students the mysteries of geometry. She is co-adviser to the eleventh grade. Mr. George McCutcheon teaches the junior high school students how to become financial successes. Besides this, he acts as adviser to the Senate. He sponsors the Chess club and is the assistant coach to the football team. He also plays the snare drum, a talent not often exhibited to U High students. Mr. Donovan Johnson is the new member of the Math Department this year. Before he came to U-High he taught at a naval training school for electricians mates for two years. He got his Bachelors' and Masters' degrees at the University of Minnesota. He teaches algebra, aviation, and fusion physical science, and he is the co-adviser to the eleventh grade. Incidentally, notice the new mural which forms the background for the Math Department picture. This was designed and painted by members of the Art classes last spring. Science Department Mr. Gordon Mork, who is the assistant director at U-High, is also the head of the Science Department. Last year he taught biology and general science, and he is now the co-adviser to Dragomen, and assistant adviser to the ninth grade. Mr. Kenneth Anderson came to us from Askov. Minnesota, where he was the superintendent of schools. He teaches biology and general science to eighth and ninth graders. Besides all this, he coached the hard-playing basketball team. He showed great interest in the boys, helping Mr. Nagel advise the U-Club. He is also one of the advisers for the tenth grade class. He is a good hunter, and we hear he plays a mean game of golf or tennis. Science comes naturally to Mr. Morton J. Keston who teaches both the chemistry and physics classes here at U-High. In addition to these, he teaches general science to the seventh grade. Mr. Keston is a brilliant pianist with a record of concert performances; we've heard his skill demonstrated at various school functions. He directs the weekly music appreciation classes for both junior and senior high school music lovers. Mr. Donovan Johnson is a new member of both the math and science departments. He teaches some of the ninth grade algebra classes, and pre-flight aviation for the math department. For the science department, he teaches a large class in fusion sciences. As adviser to the A.V.O.C., he has done a good job of guiding the boys through another active year. He is also one of the eleventh grade advisers. MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT—Mr. McCutchton.

Every day that we've been here has made all of us more worldly, more wise and much more wonderful, n est-ce pas? Remember the football games last fall? Some times it was so exciting we nearly died but win or lose, the team was always great. And how about those times over in the Music Auditorium when we were all smeared with make-up or buried under props, and the final night when everything turned out perfectly anyway? Then that wonderful spring snow storm when the bus was only 3 hours late, and all those lovely girls with their fresh spring dresses, and all those maddening boys who were oblivious to spring fever. We are all sad at the thought of leaving and we II always remember you. We hope you won't forget any of us. THE SENIORS OF '45 19 SENIOR CLASS RlAy—TOP PICTURE: Las ' , Bartholdi. 2nd PICTURE.

Senior Class Play Age old tradition was broken this year when the senior class decided to present their class play during the winter quarter, instead of in the spring. This change enabled the seniors to participate in many more of the spring quarter activities which, in former years, they were forced to give up because play rehearsals occupied too much of their time. A committee composed of class members and under the supervision of the class advisers, Mr. Gjerde and Miss West, and the dramatics teacher. Mr. Brink, was appointed to choose the play to be given. They decided on Growing Pains”, an amusing three act play concerning the troubles of a family with two teen-aged youngsters. The call for tryout was well answered, but because only eighteen persons were needed to fill the cast, many future actors and actresses were turned down. For three weeks room 210 was the scene of rehearsals every afternoon at 3:15. At the end of these seemingly short weeks. Growing Pains” was presented at the Music Auditorium on Saturday, March seventeenth. The audience s enthusiastic applause and praise proved it ranked as one of the best senior class plays performed at U. High. Credit for the tremendous success of the play goes not only to the cast members but also to the director. Mr. Brink, and to the hardworking committees who planned and completed backstage and business preparations.

The eleventh grade has been active in school events this year and its members have proved to be very able leaders. They took the responsibility of being juniors quite seriously, carrying out successfully their traditional activities. The most important of these, of course, and one of the main events of the year, was the J. S. The junior-senior prom took a lot of planning and cooperation. but it was one of the best U. High has ever had. There was a class party, too. The sleigh ride was a huge success and the party turned out to be loads of fun for all. It was held on February 25. at the Farm Campus. After the sleigh ride the hospitality of the Riglers was enjoyed and appreciated by everyone. The junior girls have cheered the teams (on which the junior boys were well represented) on to victory all through the fall and winter. As for the athletes- in the class, they have done a bang-up job in football, basketball. and wrestling. Next year s teams should profit from the experience these boys have obtained. Some fine talent in other lines is displayed in the class of 46. In fact, one of the leads in Seven Sisters' went to Nancy Rigler. Other eleventh graders also played in this school production, and when Highlites rolled around, many juniors were found in the cast! When the U. Highlites rolled around the juniors went all out. The stage crew was made up of juniors almost exclusively, and junior talent was not lacking behind the footlights. The voices of Jo French. Donna Daniels, Carol Macey. and Lorand Tritter really helped to put the show over, not to mention the grand job Alan Rice did on the piano. The Mothers’ Tea was a big event for the girls. It gave them all a chance to show off their mothers as well as their new clothes. An international theme was used. The mothers were given name tags of miniature flags and the centerpiece was a group of international flags. Yes. the juniors of 1944-1945 have done wonderful work and are looking forward to a successful senior year. Howard Lorberbaum Ray Harri .... Dave Fleming . . . Stan Gabay . . .

Adviter 22 Class of 47 Though only five of the members of the original seventh grade class remain, the sophomore class is full of that old U. High spirit. Mrs. Gayne. who also teaches tenth grade English, and Mr. Anderson, who teaches biology, were co-advisers. The class chose Bob Setzer and Joyce Tanlcenoff to represent them in the Senate as regular members, with Steve Wolff and Henry Reedy as alternates. Joyce Tanlcenoff and Helen Buchta were the class representatives to the Girls' Club Cabinet and Council. One main interest of the class seemed to be dramatics, judging from the large number of sophomores in the Senior Dramatic Club. The Class of 47 was well represented in the cost of Seven Sisters , the all-school ploy presented during foil quarter, and in the spring quarter U. Highlites. Near the beginning of the year President Bob Setzer appointed a committee to plan programs for the entertainment of the class after each class meeting. Records, movies, and other types of entertainment were provided by the enterprising committee. On the social side, the sophomores also excelled. They won't soon forget the class sleigh ride, held on the Farm Campus. The whole class appreciated the Buchta hospitality, where they were invited afterwards for refreshments. Another important social event of the year was the sophomore Mothers' Tea. on February 28th. As general chairman of the tea. Helen Buchta appropriately chose the theme of the lion and the lamb, symbols of the month of March so close at hand. The mothers were entertained with a program of musical talent planned by Joan Conrad. Doris Allen gave a piano solo. Jim Marvin a saxophone solo, and Pat Hunt sang Summertime. A girls' choral group sang, and Jonne Martin entertained with a dance. Bob Setzer................ John Hendrickson . . . . Natalie Clark............. Henry Reedy...............

Class of ’48 During the winter quarter, cries of We want another senator echoed down the school halls, at assemblies, and almost any place where an irate ninth grader could campaign the issue. Because this class is the largest in the school, the freshmen felt it only right that they should have another senator. Everyone remembers the campaign that was carried on in assembly and the voting that came afterwards — well, the ninth grade got their senator by a majority vote. The ninth graders succeeded in arousing the entire school's interest in their other activities, too. Their candidate for homecoming queen. Joan Hunter, was tops among the queens. She led in votes a large part of the time, keeping the other classes on their toes and the dollars rolling into the coffers of the Red Cross. The halls were plastered with posters proclaiming the merits of the freshman choice for queen. With all their enthusiasm. this class has an excellent chance to steal the Homecoming crown from the upper classmen next year. The girls of the Class of 48 played a major part in organizing the Junior High Girls' Club, and in carrying on its program of activities. St. Patrick's Day was the theme for the freshman Mothers Tea, which was given in March. George Tangen . . Tom Ohrbeck . . . Janet Nelson . . . Tom Hoctgcr . . .

Class of ’50 Being the youngest class in the school could be a handicap. but the seventh grade of 44- 45 has come out way ahead of most other classes. They also have a larger class than U. High is accustomed to see in the seventh grade. Parties are a necessary part of every class program and the seventh grade was not lacking in this respect. They gave some very successful parties during the year. One was a party in the fall on the river banks. The other, a big event for everybody, was the Mothers’ Tea given in cooperation with the eighth grade. The theme was Valentine s Day and so the mothers were given name tags in the form of hearts. Some of the members of the class were active in aiding the Red Cross in making checkerboards for the boys in service. Yes. wherever the seventh grade goes their presence is enthusiastically proclaimed. U. High has every right to be proud of this group. Class of ’49 The eighth graders seemed to have enjoyed one another's company very much this past year, for they had more parties than any other class in school. Mrs. McCart, their adviser, helped plan the first one which was a picnic on the river flats, with entertainment in the form of a treasure hunt. When Halloween came along, so did another party: this time it was held at the school. The Christmas spirit inspired them to get together again to exchange gifts and holiday wishes. The snow provided wonderful possibilities for a get-together in January, and then around Valentine's Day more cookies were devoured at another party. The class of 49 has really grown in membership since last year — from ten smiling faces to twenty-two. Fall quarter they had a lot of fun giving a radio skit patterned after Hobby-Lobby.

High is that student-governing body known as the Senate At the close of each year representatives from each of the classes are chosen to serve as Senators during the following year. After an entertaining week, concluded by an assembly at which campaign speeches are given for each candidate, the officers are elected by a popular vote of the entire student body. This year's officers were: Bede Clapp, who served as president; George Blake, whose vice-presidential manners were above reproach; Gerry Mc-Meekin. who kept accurate accounts of the meetings as secretary; and Ray Harris, whose duties as treasurer occupied a good share of his time. Mr. McCutcheon. the faculty adviser, helped the Senators to keep up their outstanding record as a student governing body. Again this year, as in others past, the Senate has been in charge of both the Hi-lites and Homecoming. The latter event, celebrating Daisy Mae. 'Lil Abner, and their Dogpatch customs, was well attended and enjoyed. To aid in the war effort, one of the many jobs of the Senate this year was to fingerprint all the members of the school. As in former years, the Senate sponsored all of the assemblies; some featured school talent, while some presented guest speakers, and other outside entertainment. SENATE—TOP ROW: S. Wolff. Rtmn .

It also was Senate that was responsible for the campaign held to clean up Shev-lin cafeteria and the halls of the U. High building. After making the students conscious of the condition through posters and notices in the daily bulletin a definite improvement was noted. Because of the success of the Senate on this project the administration gave them the power to start student governed study halls. A committee met concerning this throughout the spring quarter in hopes that their plans may be put into effect at the beginning of the next school year. A committee chosen at the beginning of fall quarter, and headed by Mary Goep-fert, has been working on a new constitution. Because the Senate has acquired broader powers, a definite need has arisen for a new statement of its powers and duties. This new constitution was presented to the student body for discussion and adoption at an assembly held during the spring quarter. 26 Honor Societies Students who belong to National Honor Society can be rightfully proud of their achievement. Only five percent of the juniors and fifteen percent of the seniors are selected for membership. Requirements for membership include scholarship, leadership, character, and school service.

Band Peppier pep fests were made possible this year by the new U. High band, under the direction of Mr. Nickerson, U. High's music director. The group, whose membership now exceeds thirty, is quartered in a new. soundproof room, recently equipped with instrument lockers designed to fit each instrument. The largest sections are the clarinets, cornets, and the percussion, but along with these the bassoon, bass fiddle, saxophone, trombone. French horn, baritone, and flute are represented. In addition to the regular members there are about twelve other students who work with Mr. Nickerson in preparation for the band. Besides playing for several pep rallies throughout the year, the band played for one assembly, and furnished solo talent on several occasions, including the Christmas Program. Band awards, in the form of a letter and certificate, are presented to regular members who meet special qualifications. Choir ' Let’s have a little more support from the tenor section. was Mr. Nickerson s frequent remark this past year. Because of the majority of girls in choir, the tenor section was carried by the members of the fairer sex. The annual Christmas program, was presented by the Choir, at the Music Auditorium. The program featured, besides the Choir, a number of solos and songs of different countries. This year Nick took the Choir and Band on a tour. They went by streetcar to the fair metropolis of Robbinsdale. where they attended the 18th District Music Conference. All schools in the Lake Conference attended. The object of the conference was not competition, but to get helpful criticism. During the winter quarter. Mr. Mork directed the choir on Mondays. On Fridays, the members were fortunate in having an hour of music appreciation, featuring records arranged by the students and Mr. Nickerson. 28 BISBILA BOARD—TOP ROW. Abr«h«m� on.

Bisbila With nothing but the good of the yearbook at heart the busy Bisbila Board began probing, magnifying glass, camera, and notebook in hand, into the private and public lives of students and faculty of U. High. The |ob proved to be an around-the-clock affair, with deadlines looming ever nearer. However, the faculty soon got used to seeing pupils snooze off to sleep in their classes. Without asking they knew it was a Bisbila worker. This year Kathleen Quigley was editor-in-chief, and Mrs. Merideth served as faculty adviser. The full editors. seen above, were greatly assisted by the following: Norma Legler, Elizabeth Lamberton. Natalie Clark, Jeanne Lauer. Helen Buchta. Jo Liebenberg. Jo French. Janet Rylander, Joan Endress. Marge Firth, and Ted Rauen. Mr. Laging gave special help to the art staff. Because of war rationing, materials were cut considerably: however, every club is well represented. Breeze Advertisements lead us to believe that four out of five people read Life , but there is no doubt about the fact that everyone reads the Breeze. With Mr. Carlsen as adviser, this year's staff put out a number of issues, all of which have been of lasting interest to students and faculty. The chief editor was Joanne Bouthilet. and working under her: Virginia Hiniker. front page: Lil Rumble, feature: Nancy Rigler. back page: Dick Herreid, sports. Thanks to Jo Liebenberg, art editor, and Roger Merrill, photographer, the Breeze has been well supplied with linoleum blocks and current pictures. Milton Tinker, exchange editor, and Dorothy Levy, copy editor, rounded out the staff which kept the student body well informed. The Breeze printed articles to promote interest in war drives. Timely editorials dealing with student problems, have also been a special feature of the year. 29 TYPING CLUB—STANDING: H«l orien. Rumble, M.u Oehlin. SITTING: Tildcn, Btdd ll, G'ccnitcm, Levy.

Typing Club One of the newest organizations within the school is the Typing Club, formed to serve teachers, students, and school organizations by doing all the typing that is needed. All students enrolled in typing class are eligible to become members of the club. This year the typing club has a new adviser. Miss Riley. The meetings were held on Thursdays during the activity hour, in room 209. Typing that needed to be done was given to Miss Riley, and with the competent help of the club, it was neatly and quickly turned out. The club has done a helpful and efficient job. and each member deserves recognition for service given. We hope that next year's club can come up to the standards set this year. Senior Dramatics The Dramatic Club, which is one of the largest ond also one of the oldest in the school, is open for membership to any student in Senior High who is interested in dramatics. However the members don't have to be young actors or actresses, or even interested solely in dramatics for many other sides of the theater are discussed at club meetings. Short plays, readings, discussions of entertainers in the theater world, and talks on the different aspects of the theater entertained club members during their weekly sessions. The members elected Carolyn Rondestvedt as president of their group, and Steve Wolff as vice-president. Helen Buchta served as secretary, and Jim Marvin handled the financial end of the club. Dramatic Club was larger this past year than it has been for several years. The boys were a definite minority. with only six boys as regular members. One of the main projects of the year was the rewriting of the constitution. According to custom, the Dramatic Club again presented an all-school play during the fall quarter. This year's production was Seven Sisters. a comedy in three acts concerning the troubles of a Hungarian widow and her seven daughters. The members of the club made the settings for the play as well as working on lighting and other properties. Mr. L. L. Brink. U. High's new dramatic and speech director, served as adviser of the group. 30 Photo Service The Photo Service Club was organized under the guidance of Mr. Laging to teach the students interested in photography how to take, develop, and print pictures. The most important work of this organization is that of taking pictures for the Bisbila and the Campus Breeze. The pictures that are not used by either of these organizations are displayed on the school bulletin board. Club officers this year were: pres., Garrett Gruner; vice-pres., Charlotte Abrahamson; and sec.-treas.. Mary Goepfert. A. V. O. C. The Audio Visual Operators Club goes out to maintain its high degree of efficient service to the school. The A. V. O. C. performs many duties: its most important are showing movies, playing records, and operating the public address system. Their extra-curricular services include playing records for noon-hour dancing and parties. Mr. Johnson is the club's adviser, with Dick Herreid and Tom Joseph, co-presidents. Each member must pass a test and get experience in running the equipment before admission. U. Club Membership in the U. Club is extended to all boys who win major letters in any major sports: football, basketball, swimming, wrestling, and track. The main objectives of the club are to create, maintain, and foster interest in athletics and to develop closer friendships among athletically-minded boys. Much of the success of this group is due to the helpful assistance of Mr. Anderson, the basketball coach, and Mr. Nagel, the football coach. New members are taken into the club twice a year, in the fall and in the spring. Each spring the club sponsors an athletic banquet for all boys who have won letters during the year. Officers were: pres.. Jack Tjossem: vice-pres.. Dick Herreid: sec.. Bede Clapp: and treas., Larry Gage. PHOTO SERVICE CLUB-STANDING: R. Merrill. Grgner D. Ludwig. SITTING: Rauer .

Junior Dramatics In this year s Junior Dramatic Club there are many promising understudies for the Senior Dramatic Clubs of the future. These young dramatic enthusiasts arc making a name for themselves at an early date and at the same time are gaining valuable dramatic experience. Before the club got under way it was found necessary to draw up a new constitution. Regular meetings were then held on every other Monday. In keeping with their purpose, which was to become better acquainted with the theater and the problems of producing a successful play, club members studied lighting, color, make-up. and famous stage personalities. The club worked in conjunction with the Senior Dramatic Club in the production of an original assembly. Mr. Brink. U. High's dramatics director. acted as adviser for the club and it's officers, who were: Sue Hirsch, pres.: Jean En-dress, vice-pres.: Marie Geist, sec.: and Billy Doyle, treas. Music Appreciation The Music Appreciation Hour has been one of the most enjoyable activity periods this year. It was directed by Mr. Keston every Tuesday for students interested in the works of the masters. The programs consisted chiefly of piano concertos. First, the background of the music to be played was discussed. Then, the recording was played, and Mr. Keston analyzed the techniques of the performing artist and talked about the life of the composer. Chess Club It s your move. This is a common phrase heard coming from room 209 on Fridays. You can be sure it's a chess club member prodding his opponent to make the fatal move. This year’s club saved their brains for their difficult mental exercise instead of raising money for a picture. Carl Zietlow performed the job of president and Billy Doyle kept all the necessary minutes. The chief kibitzer this year was Mr. McCutcheon. 32 French Club The smiles on the faces of these mademoiselles should be ample proof of their pride in being members of the French Club. Contrary to the opinion Madame Toman, our pretty new French instructor, might have formed, their knowledge of French is not limited to Je ne sais pas” for at times their fluency is amazing. They say. Je ne comprend pas ce que vous dites.” At their bi-monthly meetings the French Club really takes itself seriously, succeeding very well in fulfilling their prime purpose which is to bring the French students together and parler Francais.' Also, they have presented plays and learned much about French customs. A student has only to be a member of a French class in order to qualify as a member of the French Club. President ............ Gerry McMeekin Vice-president Imogene Boberg Sec.-Treas.. . Janet Nelson Spanish Club This year the Spanish Club has become a member of the Pan American League. The purpose of joining the League was to foster a greater interest in Spanish, and to provide, through entertainment, an opportunity for a better appreciation of Spanish life, language and culture. During the first quarter only members of the second, third, and fourth year classes were allowed to become members. At the beginning of winter quarter first year students were admitted. Miss Trandeff and Miss Birkmaier, who served as advisers, helped to keep up the interest of the club in Latin America. An interesting project of the year was the correspondence between South American and Mexican students and the members of the Spanish Club. Through the League, names and addresses of these neighbors to the south were obtained. At the meetings, held on alternate Fridays, the members enjoyed movies which dealt with views of historic and scenic interest and with the customs of the Spanish people.

The members of the Board are all volunteers who perform many jobs, such as shelving, arranging periodicals, charging books, and keeping records of reserve books. Every member of the board gets a chance at all jobs, because they rotate from one to another. Among the magazines which go out from the desk are American Observer, Time, Life. New Yorker, and Popular Mechanics. Board members have given valuable assistance to the librarian. Miss Smith, but the greatest assistance is to students and faculty in helping to locate books and magazines. During the year, two extra projects were taken on by the library. At one of the front tables the daily newspapers were put out. and students were allowed to read the papers. Another project was that of furnishing the box which held papers from other schools. Pep Club Although Pep Club is a newly founded organization at U. High, it has many enthusiastic members with true school spirit. Under guidance of their sponsor, Mrs. Turner, the members do their best to build up interest in football and basketball games. Pep Club also tries to promote good school spirit generally. We have these clubbers to thank for those swell pep fests. chartered streetcars to the outlying football games, and their part in sponsoring a contest for our new school song. Bede Clapp, a Pep Club member, won the contest and fifteen silver dollars. Gerry McMeekin did a fine job of running the club, while Milton Tinker backed her up as vice-president. George Blake took charge of collecting the dues, while Joan Endress kept all the minutes in order. The Pep Club again held several of these famous before-the-game parties. During winter quarter they held a sleighride, which, from all reports, was really good. 34 GERMAN CLUB-TOR ROW: Ray, L. Hinikar, Sodtl, R. Merrill, Sul liven, Setter, McMil-len. 2nd ROW: J. Seer, 0.

Under the able direction of Fraulein Birkmaier, the club has worked hard to stimulate an interest in the language and customs of the German people. The group arranged an informal gathering which took place every Tuesday during lunch hour, under the name Der Stammtisch. At this time those interested could meet together at a table in Shevlin. on the condition that they speak nothing but German. At the beginning of the year, the members chose George Blake as President: Ed. Oldfield, Vize-Prasident: Mary Goepfert. Sekretar: Jeanne Lauer. Kassiererin. Throughout the year this club had several successful parties. Besides a wiener roast, a sleighride, and their annual Christmas party, the German clubbers helped to foster Christmas spirit again this year by trimming their class room. Upon paying their dues, members received membership cards, especially printed in German. Latin Club The old saying about Latin being a dead language, certainly doesn't hold true at U. High. Every student taking Latin automatically becomes a member of the Latin Club, which meets monthly under the advisership of Miss Marlow. A distinctive feature about the club is that each class meets separately during their regular class hour. Each class is divided into two groups, which alternately take charge of the month's program. At these meetings the other half of the class is entertained by plays, songs, talks dealing with Latin, and games, of which the purpose is to increase the student's interest in and knowledge of the language. The plays are either in Latin or pertain to Roman customs, events, or men. Each member receives a program, which is written in Latin. An added attraction is that refreshments arc served after each program. Jim Marvin served as president. with Marie Geist. vice-president: and secretary-t.easurer.

This club, organ-ized to promote a spirit of friendship among the girls, is under the advisership of Mrs. Turner and Mrs.McCart. In the spring of each year, the officers for the coming year are elected. This year Jo Bouthilet served as president: Jeanne Lauer. vice-pres.; Jay Tilden. treas.: and Joyce Tankenoff, sec. Girls Club is headed by a group of girls who serve as Cabinet and Council. Tradition accounts for the two main projects of the year: the Mothers' Teas and the Mother-Daughter Banquet. Girls' Club also sponsored the contest for homecoming queen. The entire proceeds from this went to the Red Cross. At Thanksgiving time, the social service committee collected food to supply several needy families. The girls were entertained at monthly programs by guest speakers, who discussed various vocations. Junior Girls’ Club This year, under the direction of the Senior High Girls' Club, the younger girls at U. High formed a club of their own. It is similar to the senior high organization, and it functions in much the same manner. Under the guidance of Mrs. Maloney, adviser of the group, the girls elected officers, wrote a constitution, and soon became a very active group. Jean Ludwig served as president, while Jean Endress took over in her absence, as vice-president. Cathie Schafer was chosen to keep the minutes in order as secretary, and Lenore Boberg was made responsible for the money matters of the club. The Cabinet and Council worked jointly with that of the Senior High Club to collect food and money during Red Cross and War Chest drives. The club sponsored the Mothers' Teas for the lower grades, at which many of the mothers were introduced to U. High. This group has made a splendid start and plans have been made to continue the organization. 36 FOOTBALL SQUAD—TOP ROW: Mr. Nagel. Mr. McCutcheon W. Doyle, R. Carlton. C. Johmon R. Bell, Ray.

M., September 15. 1944, the season got under way with the Little Gophers losing a thriller to Hopkins on Northrop Field. U. High got off to a bad start by allowing Hopkins two touchdowns and one extra point in the first quarter of play. From that point of the game till the end, U. High worked as a unit and held Hopkins scoreless. Our fighting eleven couldn't push over a score, however, although they got to Hopkins’ one yard line. Hopkins was started on its way to another championship by this 13-0 victory. On the following Friday, U. High traveled to Mound for an afternoon game which we won 13-6. The score does not tell the real story because U. High was a vastly superior outfit. The first part of the game was a punting duel until we recovered a Mound fumble on their FRONT ROW—LEFT TO RIGHT: Ed CUpp, Right End; Walt , Berkman. Right Tackl ; Bill McG««.

High marched to Mound s 13 where Tjossem took a lateral from Parks for a score of 13-0. In the closing seconds of the game, Mound's Dobbs dashed 80 yards against our second team for a touchdown. U. High threatened to score many times but had to be satisfied with a 13-6 count. The most thrilling game of the season was played at St. Louis Park. The entire game was a battle of lines with a break-through a rarity. During the second quarter Tjossem took a lateral from Parks and raced down the sidelines, out-running the entire Park team for a score. Tjossem kicked the extra point for a half time score of 7-0. A greatly inspired Park team came on to Two thousand enthusiastic Robbinsdale Homecoming fans cheered the Robins to a 25-6 victory. October 20. The Robins wasted little time in getting their first and second scores. Jack Tjossem displayed the only brilliant U. High win of the afternoon by a 92 yard run back of an intercepted pass. The two teams left the field at half time with the Robins leading 13-6. The second half was dominated entirely by Robbinsdale. They finished the afternoon with two touchdowns of 55 and 60 yards each. The Robins had satisfied their Homecoming crowd by trouncing us 25-6. The grand finale found the Little Gophers scoring at will against a scrappy Excelsior outfit. Jerry Baer scored once and Jack Tjossem scored twice in the first half.

A few minutes later they crossed our goal line, fortunately missing the extra point for a final score of 7-6. Park threatened to score on different occasions, but a fighting U. High team turned back the would-be invaders. On Friday, October 13th (!) U. High played the revenge game of the year under the Northrop Field lights against a determined Wayzata eleven. It was this eleven that kept U. High from being an undefeated team last year. The first quarter was marred by many fumbles by both squads. U. High received the first break by recovering a Wayzata fumble on its own 27. Tjossem climaxed that drive by plunging over from the 2. On the next drive, again Tjossem scored for a halftime score of 12-0. In the third quarter, fullback Doyle plunged over from the 5 to make the final score 18-0. From then until the end of the game, the second team took over to gain valuable experience for next year's team. This was truly an unlucky Friday the 13th for Wayzata. score. Tjossem opened the second half with a touchdown and extra point. Baer scored his second touchdown in a 60 yard run. Tritter kicked the extra point for a count of 34-0. Excelsior $ only score came on a 91 yard drive. A pass into the end zone to Lunston made the score 34-6. An all senior team finished the 1944 football season by scoring on a pass from Parks to Clapp and a lateral to Tjossem. who raced over for an overwhelming score of 40-6. U. High was honored at the end of the football season when Larry Doyle and Jack Tjossem were placed on the All Lake Conference team. It was a repeat performance for Jack as he made the first team for the second straight year. He also retained his scoring leadership in the conference by tallying 65 points during the season. Larry Doyle's second year at the fullback spot was crowned by his being placed on the second All-Conference Team as the most effective blocker on the team. Larry richly deserved this high honor. 39 Basketball The Little Gophers had a moderately successful season during the school year which has just ended, hitting for an even .500 percentage in an eighteen game schedule. The caging season was marked by two distinct types of play by the U. High Bucketeers. During the first half of the season it can be said that their ball handling, shot making, and defense were as good as any other team in the entire Lake Conference. But during the tag end of the year the team seemed to lose the drive that had carried them to victory in so many early season games. This reaction seemed to set in after the loss of the first St. Louis Park game, which was lost only after a few careless mistakes which presented Park with 12 straight points in the middle of the third quarter. U. High opened the basketball season by dropping a hotly contested contest to Hutchinson in the university fieldhouse, where all of the home games were played, by a score of 20-18. The Little Gophers led at the half by 14-8, but saw their lead wither before the tight-fisted defense put up by the Tigers in the second half. This was the same Hutchinson team which later, as a representative of the third region, took fourth place in the state tournament. Opening the conference schedule. U. High took the measure of Mound and Robbinsdale by scores of 36-30 and 26-25. Jack Tjossem paced both victories by scoring 17 and 14 points in the two games. The Robbinsdale game was an overtime battle in which the Little Gophers had to fight from behind to win. During the Christmas holidays, U. High invaded district 25 and came home with victories over Askov and Sandstone. Dick Herreid went on a scoring spree to net 47 points in these triumphs. The Little Gophers completely dominated play in both contests and won by scores of 30-22 and 71-39. Before school opened for the winter quarter U. High also played Buffalo Lake and came home with a 42-32 victory. In a triumphant return to the fieldhouse, the Little Gophers tipped a fighting Moose Lake five in an overtime battle, 29-27. Moose Lake, another representative of the twenty-fifth district, led most of the way. but Dick Herreid's sixteenth point, scored on a free throw, tied up the game, and Howie Lorberbaum's drive-in shot decided the game in the overtime period. Returning to the conference wars. U. High dropped the decisive contest to St. Louis Park, 37-29. Seeming well on the road to victory midway in the third period, the Little Gophers lost George Petraborg, ace guard with a shoulder injury, and the U. High defense seemed to disintegrate. permitting the Parkers to flash through for 12 straight points, which decided the game. The Little Gophers next dropped a pair of heartbreak- A TEAM BASKETBALL—TOP BOW: Tjoitcm. H«rreid, J. Pctr«bort. G. P«� r«bor9. BOTTOM BOW: Loibcrb«um. JitMH, Do«rm nn.

Shannon. ers on the fieldhouse floor, the first to Hopkins and the second to Excelsior, by scores of 22-18 and 20-19. Although presented with many opportunities to win both games the cagers seemed to lack the drive needed to pull out a victory in either. Tasting victory for the first time since the Moose Lake game, the Maroon and Gold cagers whipped a weak Wayzata club by 33-24. The score in itself was disappointing, for Wayzata could not manage a win in twelve league starts, finishing a poor last in the conference race. Mound turned the tables on U. High by pulling out a 35-29 upset victory over the Little Gophers. U. High's ex-coach, brought his Mound team along so well from game to game that by the end of the season they were able to upset the fourth place Robbinsdale team and advance into district tournament. Taking two of the worse thumpings suffered by a U. High team since 1942. the Little Gophers were bumped by Excelsior and Hopkins by the overwhelming scores of 40-18 and 42-14. In these two games the U. High defense was practically negligible as both the Bluejays and the Warriors charged up and down the court for basket after basket. Sandwiched in between these two crushing defeats, however, was one of the most startling upsets of the entire conference season, in which U. High, playing without the services of Jack Tjossem. George Petraborg. and Pete Jesness, shocked a heavily favored Robbinsdale team. 36-33. The hot shooting of Dick Herreid and John McCallum, which accounted for 13 and 15 points respectively, and the sterling defensive work turned in by the whole team, made possible this upset victory. U. High closed its regular season with a victory and a defeat, as the team suffered its second setback at the hands of St. Louis Park. 30-24, and again trounced the hapless Trojans from Wayzata. 34-22. This exchange of fortunes gave the Little Gophers a conference record of 5 wins and 7 losses and a position of fifth place in the final standings. Since the drawing pitted the fifth place team against the second place team in the sub-district tournament. U. High faced Excelsior in an effort to qualify for district play at Mound. However, the Little Gophers were turned back in this final bid. and beaten by the Blue-jays. 35-25. The cagers elected Dick Herreid and Jack Tjossem as co-captains. Additional honors came to these boys as Dick was selected to the coaches All-conference Team, while Jack was named to the team selected by the Minneapolis Tribune. When the boys met to determine the most valuable player on the team, the honor fell, for the fourth consecutive year, to Jack Tjossem. who this year wound up a most outstanding career. 41 Wrestling The record of nine defeats and one win is not enoush to judge the merits of the 1944-45 University High wrestling team, for co-captains elect Alan Rice and Ray Harris, and Dave Fleming turned in very admirable seasons. Rice went through the entire season with only one defeat marring his record. Competition opened on December 5th against Washburn High, which defeated the scrappy Gophers 21-14. The following two weeks found U. High dropping meets to Mound and state champion, Robbinsdale. Early season troubles were the lack of experience among the ranks of the team and the services of no coach. The only returning veterans from last years squad were: Captain Larry Gage, Ray Harris. Alan Rice, Dave Fleming, and Bob Dworsky. The team secured the services of Jack Lord as their coach. Coach Lord was an army trainee on the University campus. Mr. Lord whipped a dangerously rugged team into shape for the remaining battles. The team consisted of the five veterans plus George Mahowald. Ron Rosenberg, John McElligott. Ken Newton. Doug Burn, and Jack Dorfman. After winter holidays the grapplers displayed new fight as they took on a strong Anoka outfit which they almost defeated. U. High's lone victory was obtained from Washburn, a great city power. The greatly improved Little Gophers decisively beat the Washburn power 25-15. The following three weeks proved disastrous to the U. High mat-men as they were defeated by Wayzata. Mound, and by the state champion Robbinsdale. The Anoka matmen traveled to U. High the following week. Anoka tangled with a vastly improved maroon and gold outfit and the Anokaites barely eased out a victory. The finish was against a determined Wayzata team, again U. High was defeated. Throughout the latter part of the season U. High was handicapped by injuries. Captain Gage. Bob Dworsky, and Dave Fleming had injuries that prevented them from participating in the later meets and all-important Regional meet. Coach Lord sent several threats to the Regional meet, but Alan Rice was the only one to win the right to wrestle in the State meet, as he won the Regional Championship for his weight class. The other U. High grapplers were in there hustling all the way. Co-captain elect Rice. U. High's lone representative in the State wrestling meet, won the State Championship for the 133 pound division; by doing so U. High placed 9th in the state standing. Robbinsdale and Wayzata. both from our conference, secured the one and two spots, while Mound, another Lake Conference team placed 6th. WRESTLING—TOP ROW: Gag . Coach Lord. 2nd ROW: Dorfman. Dwonky.

High track team completed a successful 44 season by placing second in the Mound Relays, second in the District 18 meet, and third in the Region 5 meet. Hurdler Frank Seidel and High Jumper Ed Clapp placed first in their respective events to pace the cindermen to second place in the annual Mound Relays. Hopkins took the meet with 38 points, while U. High's 3H 2 points were good for second place. In the District 18 meet, Captain Jack Tjossem led the thin clads to the runner-up spot behind Hopkins by taking first places in the pole vault and the broad jump. Clapp and Seidel once again snared firsts in the high jump and high hurdles respectively. Men who placed first, second, or third in the district competition were eligible to compete in the regional event, held the following week at Memorial stadium. On this condition. U. High sent Tjossem. Clapp, and Seidel in the events mentioned above: besides Ralph Nelson in the 440 yard dash, Larry Gage in the low hurdles, Clapp in the 100 yard dash and the broad jump, and the 880 yard relay team. By taking either a first or a second place in the Region 5 meet, where the trackmen as a team finished third, Seidel. Clapp. Nelson, and Tjossem advanced to the state meet, where Clapp was the only point winner, tying for fifth in the high jump. The track season had yet to get under way when the 1945 Bisbilo went to press, but practice sessions had been held in the Fieldhouse since the end of the basketball season. Meets with Robbinsdale and St. Thomas were on the schedule and Wayzata and Mound had been contacted. The prospects were not as promising as those of last year, but plans were going along smoothly for the opening of the track season. U. High, as in past years, will again enter the Carleton Invitational meet, which is held annually at Northfield. This event is scheduled for May 12 this year, and it will be followed by the Mound Relays, the District 18 meet, and the Region 5 meet. The season comes to a climax on June 2, when the Minnesota State Track and Field meet is held in Memorial Stadium on the Campus. Veterans returning to bolster this year's cinder squad are Ed Clapp. Larry Gage, Jerry Petraborg, Jack Tjossem. and Jack Mork. Frank Seidel, one of the outstanding hurdlers in Region 5. was eligible to compete, but the team suffered a severe blow when he entered the Merchant Marine during Spring vacation. Newcomers to the track team who are candidates for competition in the various events include Lyle Haber-land, Dale Johnson, Bob Alexander. Tom Ohrbeck. Tom Joseph, George Blake, Jack Dorfman, Ken Newton. Jim McMillen and Harley Ray. TRACK—TOP ROW: D. Martin, Newton. R. Allen, T. Bell. R. Carlton, McMillen. Shannon. J.

Golf Graduation and service calls have made heavy inroads upon the golf team, but Coach George McCutcheon and his inexperienced group of golfers anxiously await the opening of this years schedule. The team this year will be made up mostly of freshmen and sophomores, so the season will be devoted to building for future years. Matches have been tentatively scheduled with Hopkins and Brcck, and negotiations are under way with other schools for the scheduling of more matches. Gone is State Champion Eddie Briggs and also Tom Parrish, John Amberg, Larry Doyle, and Bud Parks. These men made up the 1944 team, and their loss, of course, will be keenly felt. However, with youngsters like Clayton Johnson, Bill and John Doyle, and Binghan Parks, improving rapidly, it is expected that U. High will return to the prominence that it has held in high school golf circles in the near future. The golfers will defend their District 18 championship when Hopkins plays host to the annual district tournament during the last week in May. On June 4 Coach McCutcheon will select two members of the team to compete in the state tournament at the University golf course. Tennis From a mid-April date line, the tennis squad heads into the 1945 season with the prospects nothing but a big question mark. Matches have been arranged with Wayzata. St. Louis Park, and Deephaven. all of whom are District 18 foes. All of these teams are loaded with veterans, and U. High must be rated a distinct underdog in any matches held with these schools. Blake School and Minnehaha Academy also appear on the schedule, but little is known about these teams except that Blake boasts, in Scott Donaldson, one of the finest young tennis players in the Northwest. Veterans returning from last year's squad include Walter Berkman, Jerry Baer, and Lorand Tritter. These boys took part in meets last year, but none of them encountered outstanding success. However it is upon them, together with a few newcomers, that the success or failure of this year's team depends. The three boys mentioned above, together with Bill McGee and Cy Brown, who graduated last year, made up last year's team. The 1944 season was a very short one. with only three matches being played. Two of these matches were dropped to Deephaven while Wayzata was conquered in the other match. 44 Boys’ Phy Ed The physical education program offered to the boys of U. High, was again as diversified as it has been in past years. The program was supervised by Mr. Nagel, who was assisted by Vern Ojampa and Wayne Williams, the only two practice teachers in the Phy. Ed. department. The variety of sports participated in by the boys changed with the seasons. Mr. Nagel, as a discharged Marine Veteran, recognized the value of calisthenics in any conditioning program, and insisted upon them as the opening phase of each gym class, every day of the year. During the fall quarter the boys played touch football for almost two months, and even managed to secure the field house for games a few times during the winter. Also whenever possible during the fall quarter, swimming in Cooke Hall s two beautiful pools was the order of the day. The pools were available several times a month during the winter and spring quarters and Mr. Ojampa supervised their use at these times. The boys also participated in basketball, volleyball, wrestling, and apparatus work, all during the winter quarter. Relays of all kinds and combat games filled in at various times during the year when equipment from the university equipment cage was not available. Girls’ Phy Ed Three times a week, the seventh, eighth, and tenth grades went over to Norris Gymnasium for Phy. Ed., taught by Miss Birmingham and Miss Sprague. The ninth grade, however, went five days a week. Two days were devoted to a regular, active gym class, while two more were spent in a classroom health program. On the remaining day, Friday, all the classes were permitted to sign up on the bulletin for swimming, badminton, shuffle board and duck pin bowling. During the fall quarter all classes took soccer extensively, at first outside and then, as it began to get colder, inside in the field house. Of course, there still were the Fridays when the girls could take part in any recreational sport they liked. In some of the classes they took a little time out from game sports to indulge in some folk dancing. In winter quarter, the classes were given more choice of what they wanted to do. For the first few weeks, physical fitness was stressed. An extensive program of calisthenics made everyone s joints creak at first. After that basketball held the center of interest, with games between classes to provide the element of competition. Spring quarter came, and as soon as it was warm enough classes rushed outside to play baseball. This is almost the favorite sport of the girls and they had a series of games between the grades. We icgret that because of war time condition the 9 tbila had to go to pret in early April, and data pertaining to Spring port had. of neccstity, to be limited to foretelling of the coming teaton. 45 Coach Anderson The coaching experience of Ken Anderson, U. High's new basketball coach, spans all the seasons, for he has tutored football, hockey, and track, as well as basketball. However, most of his work has been with the administrative side of school life. He acted as principal at Lake Bronson and Tracy, and as Superintendent of Schools at New Prague and Askov. While at New Prague. Mr. Anderson played basketball with the New Prague Independents, who won sixteen straight games that season before losing to the state champion Rock Spring Sparklers. Mr. Anderson is a graduate of the University of Minnesota, Class of 1932, and he received his Master's degree from the same school two years later. Upon returning to the campus last fall, Mr. Anderson started work on his Ph.D. in Education. Starting with a nucleus of only two lettermen, Mr. Anderson has built a team that is a real crowd pleaser, and for this U. High will remember him. Coach Nagel During the past year Ed Nagel has coached the football and track teams, acted as adviser to the wrestling team, and served as the head of the boys physical education department. Mr. Nagel is a graduate of Buffalo Lake High school, where he won letters in three major sports. From there he went to Hamline University, majoring in history and taking a minor in Phy. Ed. He continued with athletics, earning letters in football, basketball, and track. He completed his work in Phy. Ed. at the University of Minnesota. When he came to U. High last fall. Mr. Nagel had a fine record of coaching experience. After nine years as coach at Cambridge. Minnesota, he went to Fergus Falls as athletic director, a post he now holds at U. High on top of his many other activities. From Fergus Falls, Mr. Nagel went into the Marine Amphibious Tank Corps as a machine gunner. After eight months of service, he was given an honorable discharge from the Marines, and accepted his present position at U. High.

Our first happy (?) school gathering was the Hopkins football game — oh, those wonderful football games! How we loved those damp, cool nights at Northrop Field. We screamed till we were hoarse, and we. the spectators, played the games right along with our wonderful team. Sometimes we lost, but mostly we won — and how we always loved it! Then came the Iowa tests — we'll skip lightly over those and try to forget them. It made school much more interesting and exciting to have an outstanding student like Edgar Smith around. We all loved and respected Edgar, especially Mr. Carlsen. All the old-timers at U. High were quite confused by the sea of new faces suddenly surrounding them, but it wasn’t hard to get used to it. In fact, we all became one big happy family in no time. The great excess of beauty hidden within the green striped walls was soon made apparent by the candidate chosen from each class, for the queen of our Homecoming. And what could have been more perfect than when, the night of the Homecoming dance at the Union, Kathleen Quigley, the lovely Irish lass, was crowned queen of them all. The Homecoming dance itself, on November 6th was just about the most successful dance U. High has seen 48 in many a year, and none of us shall soon forget the swell time we had there — nor at Soderlinds' afterwards. The preliminaries were fun too—REMEMBER the boys screaming through the halls unshaven (!), the strictly Dogpatch’ outfits everyone wore, all the class shelling out all their money for their own queen, and members of the Homecoming committee enthusiastically soliciting those charming door prizes? The national elections were pretty important in our lives this year — more so than ever before because of the small scale campaign and elections we had right in the school. The walls were almost solid with posters for weeks in advance. There were assemblies and speeches and arguments but at last, on November 3rd. everyone voted — or at least everyone who registered, because every detail was just like that of the national elections. U. High didn’t agree with the rest of the nation — we elected Dewey — but it created a lot of interest anyway. Thanksgiving vacations came next — such a welcome relief after all our hard work. Then the basketball games began. The bleachers weren't too crowded, at the games, of course, but to those who were there the games were wonderfully exciting — and what fun it was to cheer the team on. After much diligent work, the cast of Seven Sisters' finally gave a wonderful performance on December 16th. For weeks they had been making scenery, painting. learning lines, and in the end it actually looked like a professional job. At last it came — Christmas vacation! Ill Junior leaders.

Christmas Day, and one wonderful New Year’s Eve, U. Highites tumbled sleepily into their respective carpools. streetcars, bicycles, feet, buses and anything that would take them to ye olde U. High . Nobody felt very peppy after vacation, except the Pep Club which took upon itself to give out with a grand, gala sleighridc, which ended up with a grand slam at Buchta's. People got so peppy that near the end of the party Dick Herreid and others previewed their songs for the song contest which several school organizations sponsored. The judges had a hard time picking the winner from the many good songs turned in. However the winner. Bede Clapp, was finally awarded fifteen silver dollars at a hilarious Pep Rest in February. Twas a great occasion when the BISBILA pictures were taken. Somehow, unaccountably, new and shining faces were seen amongst some of the old. Each club seemed to have taken on many new club members. Many wise treasurers took this most opportune moment to collect their dues. In contrast to the neat Bisbila picture day, came Pan American Club initiation day with prospective members dropping unexpectedly to the floor in all parts of the school. The girls of each class put on a tea for all the mothers 50 of the class. The over-all chairman, senior Nancy Mayall. I’m sure we ll all asrec. did a swell job on them. Time Magazine certainly put out a whopper of a test. As usual, however. U. Highites came out with flying colors. Jerry Baer topped us all with a score of 85. The contest was open to all U. High students and covered current events since September. 1944. After many long hard months of work. Breeze and Bis-bila decided to have a skating party. Mrs. Merideth, Mr. Carlsen, and Miss Handlan shared the honors for cooking an excellent meal for the skaters. Everything was devoured with relish except a pot of baked beans which was raffled off to Helen Buchta for one cent. The appearance of more snow apparently encouraged the German Club and they had a sleighride on the farm campus. The clubbers came back to school afterwards, and, all in all. the party was a success. February was a busy month for all the senior actors and actresses in Growing Pains' . Mr. Brink and his cast could be seen practically every Saturday and Sunday sweating over their lines in room 210. The great production really shook down the house on March 17th. Study hall became the hub of activity for the Senate who decided it was high time U. High got fingerprinted. There might have been a few extra fingerprints on the walls and books that memorable day but the Senate accomplished its purpose and got the fingerprints and weight of everyone in the school. That long awaited time, spring vacation, finally came and ended a long hard winter quarter with a touch of hope for distant summer.

That may be true, but what about April snowstorms? It really wasn't fair. The robins were just getting settled in their nests, lilac bushes were preparing to bloom, there was beautiful green grass growing all around U. High. Then, the blizzard came. Lilacs, robins, spring,— all these were forgotten. Winter coats were de-mothballed. Overshoes appeared. So because of all this, we shall have to do a little crystal ball gazing and see what the rest of spring quarter has in store for U. High. We see the Senior class having a picnic that really is a picnic. The Senior Dramatic Club comes out with a wonderful party, with all the boys' organizations in the school invited. Acme and Dragomen are together again on their annual picnic. A.V.O.C. is trying to use up its treasury and decided to have a party, (probably an educational film or a record session of the Cavalcade of America). Spring fever pushes its way into all the class meetings and each class decides to splurge with a party. Mrs. Turner's going-away party was really rare. Her famed Trig class provided a surprise party which just happened to be on the day of their final exam. Cokes, cake, and presents were enjoyed, especially Mary Goepfert's present to Mrs. T. which we venture to say will be remembered for a long, long time. Some of U. High's spirit and pep has gone with Mrs. Turner. Early in April, the sophomores' talent bloomed out in an assembly. The other classes soon followed suit in a 52 1 big way and topped it off by the last, the senior assembly. It was cap and gown day and everyone scurried about trying to get all the seniors' autographs. The Junior-Senior Prom came, with all its excitement. The orchestra was marvelous and everyone enjoyed it. The juniors had a right to feel proud after working so hard all year. The date was May I I; the place was the Minnesota Union; the time, most of the night. Spring quarter was highlighted by U. High's Highlites. Ed Clapp's and George Blake's committee worked long hours toward the huge success. Orchids to the whole cast. U. High went over the top in its Red Cross Drive with over $300. We did well in the April Bond Drive, too. Following the annual custom. U. High Mothers and Daughters got together in a banquet that was really grand. The program was patterned after an evening at the movies. Seventh graders took part in a Preview of Coming Events. The seniors presented The Passing Parade, but the Mothers were the Main Feature. A yummy chicken dinner rewarded all who came. Summer days leaned temptingly our way. School became hot and bothersome. U. Highites could be seen walking along the river banks or nibbling their sandwiches on the knoll. Baseball was popular at noon hour. And then — trumpets sounded, bands played, as the Bisbila was presented to the eager students. U. High bubbled over with excitement, happiness, and sorrow. It was commencement. Just think, the Seniors said their last good-bye to U. High. The ceremony was simple yet beautiful. Baccalaureate services were held Sunday afternoon before graduation for the parents and friends of all the graduates. Ill (Urge) Those hardworking pages, Goodbye.
