His dreams were great, and they were made of the stuff of reality. He believed that good teaching must use the techniques and practices based on findings of modern scientific research For him the laboratory schools on the campus of the University of Minnesota were to play a large roll in these theories. He wanted these schools to be appropriately housed in buildings of the finest design. The first step in the realization of this became a reality on May 16, 1951, when ground was broken for the first building of the education group — University High School. One can never put into words the long record of the essential greatness and humbleness of our Dean. Although the pressures of each day were great, he found time to visit with both staff and students. With him every man felt that his own problem was the most important in the world, and so it was until if was satisfactorily worked out. It was this intimacy and sensitivity which endeared him to his fellow men. These qualities and many others within him made it possible for us to understand clearly the characteristics of a mature citizen of the world. Now that he has left us, let us continue his work by carrying the torch of man's humanity to men in all that we do at University High School. 4 editors-mchief ort editors assistant copy editor assistant picture editor photographers activity editors feature editor soorts editor assistant class editors senior editors foculty advisor john corrigon — judy dotson betsy iohonsen — craig stout ken nighman charlotte thiele barbaro nimmer gail muelhbach don backstrom — bill johnsfon leo mornssey — |ack wiison ludy Steinberg bill Hunt barbaro ok mow judy chnstensen — carol miller pat ketchum — esther paulsen ellsworth b erickson Committees. Each of least one of Social, and Student Teacher member of the staff served on these committees. At the end of winter quarter, the Curriculum Committee, headed by Dr. Emmo Birkmaier, took o poll of the entire senior high. Students were osked to list their comments concerning the curriculum. Recommendations to change next year's schedule were mode from the poll. PICTURES CLOCKWISE - PRINCIPAL - Minord W.

Dr. Stout was chairman of the Executive Committee, which was composed of the heads of the deportments. Its main function was to determine policy for the school and, when a controversial issue arose, to be the judge.

Our new Spanish teacher, Madeline Cooke, came here from Mexico City where she had taught English and Latin for two years. The Science and Mathematics Departments, spearheaded respectively by Dr. Clarence Boeck and Dr. Donovan Johnson, offered advanced classes in their fields. Several new faces appear in this year's picture of the English Department. They belong to English teochers Stanley Kegler, seventh and eighth grade, Mrs. Joyce Stewart, freshmen, and Mrs. Christine Brieland, juniors. Our new librarian is Ruth Marfell. The familiar faces are those of the sophomore English Instructor John Bens, speech teacher Art Ballet, and senior English teacher and department head. Dr. Dwight Burton. Although the occupants of the English office have changed somewhat, the rather homey atmosphere has not. The U High staff this year gained another Ph.D. which belongs to Edith West, senior social studies teacher. Dr. West is the permanent department head. In order to have students who know a little about a lot of things, the Unified Arts Department, headed by W. Carlisle Anderson, teaches art, home economics, music, and shop to the junior high, one subject at a time, for six week periods. Senior high students can learn more in these fields by choosing the separate courses as electives. Marjorie Swanson supervises the Business Department, which consists of two teachers. The other is Ramon Heimerl, who advises the BREEZE and teaches Consumers' Problems. Gareth Olson is the new coach and boys Phy Ed teacher. The girls'Phy Ed instructor, Mrs. Mary Lampe, returned this year from New York, after a leave of absence. 11 $ CLOCKWISE—LEFT TO RIGHT - COUNSELORS—Chorlotte Form Johnion, Williom Corl-ton OFFICE - Edith Nyquitt, Lilia Eokint, Polricia Brown CUSTODIAN - William Carr NURSES - Celio Coveney, Alice Demp-toy U High's counselors engaged in several activities ofhec than helping students in selecting their colleges or occupations, or straightening out personal problems.

Williom Carlson, the department head, supervised the vast testing program and set up the class schedule. In THE offices were Edith Nyquist and Mrs. Lilia Eakins. Also on the office staff, but in one of her own, was Mrs. Patricia Brown, who acted as Dr. Stout's secretory and took care of the school's finances. The two ladies-in-woiting who helped students with their health problems were the two nurses, Alice Dempsey and Celia Coveney. William Carr, the custodian, was found washing his hands of the whole affair. HEALTH COUNSELING OffICE MAINTENANCE SENATE MINUTES Schoolyeor, 1951-1952 The meetings were called to order every Wednesday by President Jack Wilson. Mr. Abel advised. This year a motion was made and seconded that the doors between the faculty and students be opened wider. The motion was carried unanimously. Gail Muehlbach, vice-president reported the new by-laws for the assembly committee. Charters were presented for approval by Hertha Schulze, charter and publicity committee.

In Photo Club the members were taught to take good shots of their subjects ond develop their pictures. They were being prepared for senior high photographic assignments. The main project of the club this year was to follow photographically the construction progress of the new University High School building. Emoting lines, dashing paint on sets, trees, ond furniture and assistant directing, Thespians worked hard this year to open the stage doors to a successful play season. Mr. Ballet directed the Thespians — outstanding workers in the U High theater. Major roles in the club were president — John Corrigan, vice-president — Leo Morrissey, secretory — Hertha Schulze, treasurer — Pat Ketchum, ond program director — Carol Cromer. Moliere's Physician in Spite of Himself was the riotously serious comedy first on the U High playbill ond wos put on by the senior speech class. The all-school, high school ploy, What A Life by Clifford Goldsmith, was next on the program. Thespians were the 'angels' behind the seventh and eighth grade presentation Huck Finn by Frank Whiting. The sentimental tragedy, Our Town by Thornton Wilder, wound up the season.

Da boys rushed the P.A. system, phono graph, projectors and tape recorder through the doors of Room 202 to every school event, from banquets and teas to pep fests and games. Byron Olsen was the AVOC member delegated to head the All-School-Record selection committee. AVOC will take care of the records. New members were ushered through the doors early in the spring and were trained the remainder of the year by their advisor, Mr. Whitinger, and the revered old timers. They displayed their culinary talents at the annual picnic, the club's only social event of the year. LEFT TO RIGHT - John Osterberg, Mike Prkhord, John Wilson, Ron Rensfeld.

Le Cerde Francois, Der Deutsche Verein, La Liga Pan Americana, and Pyccknn Klyb united as a Federation to sponsor the United Nations initiations, the Christmas Holiday Hop, and the Mardi Gras merrymaking. Officers of the four foreign languages were the voting members of Federation, and comprised the Board of Directors, which Judy Dotson chair-manned and for which Charlotte Thiele took minutes — in English. Miss Birkmaier, Miss Cooke, Mr. Schleppegrell and Mr. Stark alternated as advisors. CLUfl When Coffman Union Bowling alleys opened their doors to U High last winter, balls bounced their way to many splits and sixty enthusiastic U High keglers skidded up to and over the foul line. Bowling Club volunteers found pinsetting a quiet job at the beginning of the season.. Roger Johnson drummed up interest in the club, through BREEZE articles; and became its first president. Mr. Stark, advisor, and other officers — Eugene Carlsen, vice-president and Judy Nighman, secretary, set up leagues and handicaps with Roger. When the Bowling Alley doors closed for the season, deliveries were smooth and strikes were many. 20 LEFT TO RIGHT — SITTING — Kallitta Mavroulit, Jackie Jaenisch, Joy Goldberg, Jim Awado, Dick Montfield STANDING — June McGovern, Koy Klinkcrfuet, Carol Chriitmot, Diane Peterion, Bob Tema 'campus breeze ALL AMERICAN RATING 1937-1951 UNIVERSITY HIGH SCHOOL, MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA PUBLISHED MONTHLY OCTOBER THROUGH MAY: BUZZ BOOK AND APRIL FOOL ISSUE PUBLISHED ANNUALLY: BLITZ CLASS, TO TRAIN NEW STAFF, HELD YEARLY DURING WINTER QUARTER EDITOR-IN-CHIEF - - - Hertha Schulze COPY EDITOR ....

Having exposed the films, they hurried them to the darkroom and developed and printed them for the BISBILA and BREEZE. Head cameromon of the gro jp was Bill Johnston. Don Bockstrom, vice-president, carried a camera wherever he went, and Joy Goldberg, secretary, sow to it that assignments reached the right people for the occasion designated. All members of this small club were required to have some knowledge of photography. Mr. Erickson, advisor, and an ex-commercial photographer, gave them many pointers on good picture-taking and Mr. Bob Smith, a student teacher, helped him.

The sound of hurried voices ond slamming Biz room doors from the second-floor northeast corner of TNUH indicated that BISBILA was once again being rushed to the printers. This year the deadlines were-met at the doors of Jones Press, a Minneapolis printer.

Echoing over the gates of Northrop Field and through the doors of Williams Arena, the Pep Club members followed the cheerleaders through their zesty yells, and had plenty of vocal energy left for wild cheering in between, accomplishing the cheer-at-games, good sportsmanship, understanding-the-game purposes of Pep Club. Split into three parts for meeting convenience, Pep Club had officers from each division. From the senior high Pep Club, Harriett Wolkoff, president, Sherry Evans, vice-president, Barbara Nim-mer, secretary, Sigrid Tracht, treasurer, and Betsy Johansen, publicity chairman worked with the ninth grade president, Cathy Tracht, and the seventh and eighth grade Pep Club prexy, Ronnie Robison. f HA Thanksgiving baskets for Holiday Service, Inc., stuffed animals for Save The Children Federation, quarterly suppers for German teachers, and Daddy's Day for dads, of course — Future Homemakers of America whipped through these and other doors to decorate the roomful of their purposes and aims with real success in homemaking. Blending the members' abundant ideas with good meeting procedure was President Sherry Evans. Judy Steinberg chairmonned Daddy's Day as part of her duties as vice-president, and Jean Bohne took minutes of the informally dignified meetings. Hertha Schulze doled out and took in FHA funds as treosurer. FHA members entertained themselves most graciously at a banquet, late in April, in Coffman Union. Several weeks later they held a getting-new-members-inferested tea, at which the real meaning of FHA was brought out to these pros-oective homemakers. This tea ended a year of bustling and good work by FHA. 24 PICTURES CLOCKWISE — LEFT TO RIGHT - B SQUAD CHEERLEADERS - Barbara Johnson, Ginger Romnes, Marilyn Johnson, Esther Paulsen, Jockie Jaenisch A SQUAD CHEERLEADERS— Kallitso Mavroulis, Judy Dotson, Diane Peterson, Pat Ketchum, Carol Cromer EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE — Harriett Wolkoff, Sherry Evans, Betsy Johansen, Sigrid Tracht, Cathy Tracht, Ronnie Robison LEFT TO RIGHT—FRONT ROW—lory Polmer, Win Moll.

The philatelists assembled bi-weekly to peruse on the subject and reciprocote stamps in order to enrich their collections. The executive committee consisted of Win Mott as president, Steve Howard as vice-president and secretary-treasurer Lory Palmer. Mr. Ten Brinke was appointed chief consultanj. Approaching the portals of greater knowledge of philately, the kids had a tremendous time. CHESS CLUB Checkmate! Battle cries emitted from Chess Club as the knights advanced on the pawns and queens jumped from the front line. The gentlemen in charge d'affaires were recruited by Win Mott, present secretary, two years ago when he founded the club. Francis Whittington, president, led the brigade through the doors of room 207 to their clashes on the chessboard. Because partners and instructors in chess are so few and far between.

One awards assembly was held in Spring Quarter, instead of the traditional one per quarter, and all sports were represented. In place of an all-day initiation, just a dance for old and new members of U Club was held, at the suggestion of club advisor Gary Olson. He sug- gested that participation in practice and the games was enough ordeal for the lettermen. U Club Banquet was held Spring Quarter. The banquet hall doors were opened by President Bill Hunt, and Own Plauda. secretary-treasurer, collected admission. 26 PLAN OF THE DAY Daily Bulletin: February 14, 15, 16 ALL SCHOOL: Mr. Bradley (Byron Olsen) and Mr. Nelson (Bill Tucker) remind you that What A Life ; by Clifford Goldsmith, begins today.

Pa! Kctchum, and Judy Dotson, queen candidates 1951 A completely new routine for Football Homecoming Festivities came into effect this year. Homecoming week began Monday, October 1st, when the U High walls were plastered with posters—advertising queen candidates selected by the junior class, the Homecoming game, and the dance. The queens' campaigns came to an end when an assembly was held on Thursday, where candidates Judy Dotson, Sherry Evans, Pat Ketch-urn, and Diane Peterson presented their skits. Elections for queen were held that noon, and Friday's assembly saw Sherry Evans crowned 1951 Homecoming Queen. Sherry reigned at the game that afternoon against Norwood-Young America and at the big dance Friday night in Coffman Union. Jimmy Awada, as junior class vice-president, coordinated the events.

In 1951 the curtains of the U High stage whipped open for the first U High production of this sparkling satire on the medical profession. Fairly dancing through the witty, astute repartee and riotous business, the players from the advanced speech class gave this play in a modified arena style, with the audience surrounding the players on three sides. This circle type theatre added to the Commedia dell'Arte effect and provided more space for the cavorting of the actors. John Corrigan played the leading role of Sgan-arelle in a 17th century Groucho Marx manner, and the period flavor was carried out in the costumes and settings. A crown of yellow carnations and a gold basketball bracelet, the symbols of the basketball homecoming queen this year, were presented to Queen Charlotte Thiele by basketball captain Tubby Pyle. Charlotte and her attendants, Val Pink and Linda Kienitz, were crowned between the A and B team games on February 8th. The attendants received yellow and white wrist corsages from Eddie Brown and Jon Lokensgard, mid-season high scorers. Pep Club, in sponsoring the gala affair, introduced a new type of school party in place of the traditional Basket Ball after the game with Shak-opee—an Open House in the Great Hall of the YMCA, the biggest open house of the year. Sherry Evans, vice president of Pep Club and chairman of the Open House, directed the committees in plans for the merriment. Students and faculty alike stomped and danced to the melodious strains of the AVOC records. OMfCOM J PICTURES LEFT TO RIGHT - OPPOSITE PAGE - Dancing to the molodiou strain of THE AVOC records . . .

Kill 'OUR I Through the imaginary doors of the homes in Our Town , as playwright Thornton Wilder saw it, the senior class went about the hum-drum, everyday life of the Gibbses and the Webbs and their neighbors. From the signal system set up to help each other with homework, through the soda shop scene to their eventual marriage and Emily's death, Hertha Schulze and Paul Zietlow played the poignant roles of Emily Webb and George Gibbs. The editor of the Chronicle , Mr. Webb, and his wife, Myrtle, were portrayed by Jon Lokensgard and Marilyn Mears. Ernie Gellhorn and Margie Cohen were teamed as Doc Gibbs, the beloved town doctor who went about treating his patients from dawn to dusk, and his romantically-inclined wife. Wally Webb—Bob Kuhl, and Rebecca Gibbs— Esther Paulsen, tagged along after their sister and brother as youngsters, and shared the experiences of the simple life of a typical New England town with the rest of the cast, and the narrator and Stage Manager, John Corrigan. Again Mr. Ballet directed the difficult opening of the imaginary doors to reality, and this time Pat Ketchum assisted him.

In the Region 5 tournament the mat team placed second and acclaimed three individual champions in Fred Dryg at 133 pounds and co-captains Bill Hunt and Don Meyers at 120 and 138 pounds, respectively. These boys thus qualified for the State Tournament. They put forth a fine showing as Don Meyers won the stote championship, Bill Hunt won second place, and Fred Dryg won fourth place in their weights. As a result, U High landed in 5th place in the state as a team. The only lop-sided scores against the Gophers were recorded by Wayzata and Mound. However, Wayzata was the powerhouse of the state as they went undefeated in dual meets and copped the state team title for the second straight year and Mound placed third as a team. Nick Lovdjieff held the job of coaching the U High team and was helped by Neil Ofsthun, star U of M boxer. Although half of the vorsily wrestlers are graduating, there will be a big turnout of boys from the lower grades who gained know-how and experience during the post season and will be the backbone of the '52-'53 team. Within two years, another oustanding team should be produced. 46 SWIMM U Compiling a record of which any team can be proud, the U High mermen met eight of the top teams in the stote ond finished the season with a four won—six lost record. Team members represented every grade: seniors Dick Franzen, backstroker, Leonard Kane, breosfstroker, and Gene Carlson, junior diver and crawl man comprised the list of returning veterans. Two sophomores could be counted on to turn in sparkling performances in every meet. Dick Weisbrod consistently took firsts in the 50 and 100-yard free style events and went on to place third in the YMCA Invitational, Winter Carnival Championships, and the All-State Tournament. Fletcher Davis racked up points os diver and 200-yard freestyler throughout the season. Sophomore and freshman boy's won the remaining spots to round out a stalwart team. Roger Montgomery, Joey Lund, and Steve Howard showed exceptionally good promise for next yeor.

Every man on the team gave outstanding performances but the whole team found it difficult to all be at its best for the same game. The team lost many close and discouraging games. At Deephaven, playing without injured Jon Lokens-gard, the team almost upset the Wolves. U High led all the way, but six Little Gophers fouled out during the contest, which left them quite handicapped. U High lost a heartbreaker to Waconia 55-54. Ed Brown hit 29 points that night, the individual high for the year. Many other games were decided by a margin of only one to four points. The team was led by Captain Roger Pyle. Ed Brown was honored by being voted the most valuable ployer on the team and was also among the elite when he was placed on the All-Conference team. Five regulars on the team were seniors so Coach Olson will have to start training all new material, with but few exceptions. He has good prospects in centers Bob Henry and Bill Harris, guards Jimmy Awada, Mickey Mills, John Levine, and Leroy Odland, forward Dick Walker, and other returning sophomores and freshmen. Although the B team finished the season with six wins and eight losses, the season was much more successful than the record indicates. In five of the eight games lost, the difference between U High and their opponent was only two points. The highpoint of the B season was a 23-27 victory over Bloomington on the Bears' home court. High scorers for the B team this year were Bob Henry, John Levine, Toby White, and Rolf Engel.

Despite a total of sixty-eight boys and a nucleus of twelve lettermen, new coach Gary Olson's team ended up in the cellar of the Valley Conference. The first game with Shakopee ended with the Gophers on the short end of a 25-0 score. After the loss to Shakopee, the team came bock to fie Chaska. The score was 0-0. At the kick-off, U High pushed some sixty yards to the Chaska five yard-line, but failed to score. Following this, neither team came close to the goal. On the following Friday afternoon, the Little Gophers traveled to Bloomington. Early in the first quarter, Bloomington scored twice and kept their lead throughout the rest of the game. They added another touchdown later in the game to make the final score 20-0. The team lost the services of two regular backfield men for the remainder of the season as a result of injuries suffered in this game. An afternoon game with Norwood-Young America marked the Homecoming celebration. A re-oeat of the Chaska first quarter was played by the U High team. Again, the Gophers marched to the opponents' fhree-yord-line and failed to push across. A defensive duel followed this, with U High yielding with only two minutes to play in the final quarter. The extra point was good, and Norwood won 7-0. An extremely cold night saw U High invading Waconio. The Indians scored three times in the first half and U High once, to make the halftime score 20-6. In the second half Waconia's power proved too much and they crossed the goal-line two more times for a final score of 34-6. In the last game of the season, Watertown and U High fought for two quarters to a score of 0-0. Then early in the second half Watertown scored. The score remained 7-0 until late in the final quarter when Watertown scored again for a final 14-0. CLOCKWISE FROM UPPER LEFT-Ernie Gelt horn, Jock WiUon, Roger Pylo, Irv Bloom, Jerry Flufh.

Edina won out by a score of 3-2, St. Louis Park, 4-2, and Deephaven, the same score. The district tournament at Robbinsdale found four U High men entered.

Jimmy Ellis, Jock Evans A new and different approach to the door of good government was made by the class with a large and full key-ring Trying every key to all of the locked doors which they encountered, they discarded the traditional four officers, and the class council system which they had last year, for the new key of two officers—Don Fogelberg, president, and Marlys Evans, secretory-treasurer. They necessarily went traditional by electing one Senator and an alternate from each homeroom to Senate. The section advised by Mr. Bens delegated Mike Prichard and alternate, Don Fogelberg. Diane Sterner and her alternate, Pat Thompson, went from Mr. Kellogg's room, and Mr. Stark's homeroom sent Wally Hunt and Steve Nieman, alternate. The sophomore's exploration of the closed areas behind the door of senior high activities was very successful, due to their ability to work hard, produce good results, and enjoy themselves all the while. Besides participating in What A Life, sports, and other all-school activities, they held many projects and parties of their own. Judy Helper headed the Mothers' Tea, which was a February Birthday party. Senior Farewell, an all-school affair given in honor of the seniors, was the final splurge of their talented work as sophomores. LEFT TO RIGHT—TOP ROW-Bob Kleinhon . Lorry Lorn.

When the keys didn't quite turn, the three advisors, Mrs. Brieland, Mr. Knox, and Mr. Schlep-pegrell were ready to help. Senators were Gail Humphrey, Ken Nighman, and Barbara Nimmer, with alternates Judy Christensen, Roger Johnson, and Bill Tucker. Homecoming was the first big project undertaken by the Juniors, and they did a fine job. Jimmy Awada was general chairman. The class gave Queen Sherry a locket as a remembrance of her reign. An appropriate theme, Off to Work We Go, was chosen by the Junior girls for their Mothers' Tea, which was headed by Carolyn Campbell. In fall, the class sponsored a hayride, with on open house afterward. At Christmastime, Jackie Jaenisch invited the entire class to a party. Admission was charged, the proceeds were turned over to the treosury to help finance the J.S. The Junior-Senior Prom took place May 17. This magical night terminated a year full of plans and planning, not only for the co-chairmen Jack Goldberg and Barbara Nimmer, but for the whole class, its many interests, and activities. o ft $ f.
