In this period of time he has accomplished a great deal as director of the school. His fondest hope has finally become realized, and it is a familiar sight to see him carrying the blue prints of what will eventually be the new University High School building. Frederick P. Abel, a new addition to the administration is assistant principal. His job is the students: their activities and discipline. He is in charge of passes, excuses and scheduling of classes, acts as a liaison with the University for arranging demonstration classes and advises the Senate, their student government. William Carlson has helped supply answers to U-Hi boys’ personal and educational problems. He is also advisor to National Honor Society. Besides being Girls' Counselor, Miss Charlotte Farm is the faculty advisor to Pep Club, Acme, and the annual Mothers' Teas. If you have cuts and bruises, the person to see is Marjorie Lewis.

Ed Smith? He’s the spirit of U-High and six, because of six different grades. They were all anxious to start the new school year off with a bang. To help them along the juniors sponsored the football homecoming dance and queen campaign. The older Eds were a little jealous of football captain, Kenny Mohn as they watched him kiss queen Diddie Odlund. Her attendants were the other candidates: Barbara Barrows, Connie Muehlbach, and Sue Smilow. 12 UN day, and Ed rode on the standard of the flag all the way to the assembly. That day he also had fun watching the various language initiations. Ed got his first taste of the theater, when the second-year speech class gave “The Class Menagerie. The beginning of winter came with skating parties and sleigh-rides. Several Eds froze their toes, but not so badly that they couldn't attend the annual Holiday Hop. With this dance, came the end of fall quarter. El tu. Brut Billy the Kid I do � wear to . • • Praying for rain 13 Winter, supposedly the dead time of the year, brought more exciting times. Ed showed up at every basketball game, to cheer the team on. To celebrate the basketball homecoming, Ed sat on Kenny Mohn’s shoulder as he crowned Mary Ann Davison queen, and announced her attendants, Sherry Evans and Kalitsa Mavroulis. February found Ed at the Mardi Gras unsuccessfully trying to guess the Mystery Lady. He found out later she was Carole Bouthilet. Music for this party was by Two B's and a Bop, the U-High jazz trio. Smile pretty Watch out. Grab le Beers and Bromo Seltzer and the score is . . 14 To add some fun to his education, Ed went to see “Charley’s Aunt. He sat in the back row of 210 and laughed himself sick and he almost missed Sixth Hour class. He had to stay up late too, with John McHardy and John Harris as they worked hard developing pictures for the forthcoming yearbook, the Bisbila. March 21 was the first day of spring and it was nearly vacation. Ed was happy as he cleaned out his locker, following instructions, but one look at the seventy-four inches of snow and he groaned “This is RIDICULOUS! 15 Spring vacation may have been a rest for five of the Ed Smiths, but the Ed of '51 was busily engaged in senior class play rehearsal which he watched from a vantage point under Mr. Ballet’s chin. When the “School for Scandal'' was given in April, Ed was very proud. Other rehearsals, this time for H.M.S. Pinafore, were climaxed at a performance for the Unified Arts Festival. Edress (Ed's female counterpart) supervised the Mother-Daughter Banquet, and reported that everything went as scheduled. 16 The big night finally arrived and Ed, dressed in white tie and tails spirited into the Main Ballroom of Coffman Union to watch the J. S. He saw Harriet Wolkoff, junior class president, lead the grand march. The senior assembly and the senior picnic started the final rush of activities for the Ed Smith of '51. The evening of June 12 was the saddest and most exciting in Ed’s six years. As the last senior received his diploma, Ed choked back a tear and went to join the Ed Smith alumni club.

With the help of their advisor, Mr. Ellsworth Erickson, they spend much of their spare time dashing off copy and inventing new and unusual layouts to delight the reader. This year an Editorial Board was founded to govern Bisbila activities, composed of the Editors-in-Chief, Art, Copy, and Picture Editors. The members of the journalism class edited and published “The Campus Breeze,” the school paper that appeared in your lockers monthly. This winter all would-be editors and reporters attended a class taught by the staff and their advisor, Mr. Ramon Heimerl, where they learned how to make layouts and present news accurately.

It is certain, however, that the team doesn’t feel the season a total loss, because of the valuable experience they gained. This was the first year of actual play for most of the team with very few experienced players. These boys were responsible for much of the good work in games this year. Next year U-High will be missing five seniors from the team, including captain Kenny Mohn. This loss will be felt next fall, but will be offset by the many boys who gained experience this year. The first game of the season was at Chaska. The kickoff was made with the Little Gophers receiving the ball on their 30-yard line, and going for a 70-yard touchdown drive. After this, Chaska scored four times in the game, bringing the score to 26-6. Next week the team met Bloomington at home. Their playing was much improved, but despite the team's efforts, they lost, 19-6. A wet afternoon game with Norwood-Young America ended in the Little Gophers' defeat. The score was 0-1 2, after a scoreless first half. At Deephaven the U-High gridders suffered the worst defeat of the season. Deepheaven scored six times, making the score 38-0. U-High 6-26 U-High 6-19 U-High 0-12. . Norwood Y-A U-High 0-38 Deephaven U-High 12-19 Waconia U-High 0-38 U-High 0-25. . Shakopee Spirits soared before the Waconia game. Waconia scored twice, but the Gophers tied the score in the second half. Then the opposition made another touchdown and the heartbreaking game ended with U-High on the losing side, 19-12. Our Homecoming game with Watertown found U-High unable to get within 35 yards of the goal during any part of the game. The game ended at 38-0. 33 Top row Leroy Odland, Larry Mooney, John Lokenigard, Ernejt Gelhorn, John Wilson.

Although the 1950-51 basketball team at U-High was much improved over last year, the cagers once again failed to break .500. Led by captain Kenny Mohn, who scored 125 points and was made all-conference, the Little Gophers won only five games and lost eleven. Aided by senior veterans Darrell Gisvold and Larry Mooney the team picked up speed and spirit. Although the tram will lose three of its top men this year they will still be able to rely on starters Rog Pyle, Ed. Brown, and Craig Stout. With steady coaching and plenty of scrimmage outside of school it may be possible to have a good team next year. 34 Larry Mooney Ed Brown Darrell Gijvold Roger Pyle U-High 37-41 Eden Prairie U-High 30-23 Shakopee U-High 47-56 Bloomington U-High 38-36 Waconia U-High 43—44 U-High 40-52 Eden Prairie U-High 31-51 . ... .Deephaven U-High 27-48 Shakopee U-High 34-29 .

Craig Stout with a lot of good work behind him shows promise. There will also be veterans such as Jon Lokensgaard, Ernie Gellhorn, John Wilson, Roger Pyle, and Eddy Brown. Many of these boys played “A squad basketball this year, so they will be the mainstays of next year’s team. Bock row, left to right: Bryer, Skovron, Ploudo, Swonscn, Boker, Cooch Wojnick.

The 1950-1951 wrestling team did not do too well in the dual meets, winning only two matches. However, the two matches that they did win were decisive victories for the mat-men, St. Paul Central and Edina being the losers. Captain Bill Hunt was U-High’s best individual wrestler, as he placed second in the regionals, and fourth in the state. Bill was this year’s captain. Don Meyers and Jim Ellis also stood out by winning most of their matches. Some of the other wrestlers were Ken Baker, Warren Ellis, Don Heintzman, Owen Plauda and Jerry Line. Graduation will only claim Jerry Line, Bud Fuhrman, and Jim McDaniel, so next year’s team can look forward to a very successful season. 36 Kolton, J. Lund, F. Davi , J. Harris, J. Soliterman, L.

The record of four losses and two wins cannot start to show the determination and spirit that the mermen displayed. After dropping the first four meets to Minneapolis Central, West, Roosevelt, and St. Paul Central, the little gopher mermen splashed back to victory in their last two meets against St. Paul Murray and Humboldt. With the help of returning swimmers Dick Franzen, Leonard Kane and Eugene Carlson, the little gophers may hope for a more successful season next year. John Harris, Terry Hagen, Paul Curtis and John Wolf contributed much to the teams' experiences and sportsmanship. Dick Franzen was this year’s captain. 37 Proposed New University H H mVv'iV Ml' , WWJ WW), A.
