High's most useful clubs. Ellsworth Erickson, the advisor, informally taught the club members the art of photography. By taking pictures at football games, parties, dances, and all-school events. Photo Service really aided the picture editors of Biz and Breeze. Helping the departments, was another service the club performed. Photo Service could always be called to take pictures for classes and record activities in demonstration groups, thus setting up a visual record. Faculty and student body share equally the benefits of Photo Service. Photo Service is open to any senior high student with an active interest in photography. Bill Johnston was club president and Don Backstrom was secretary-treasurer.

These were familiar words in the Biz room as the staff frantically worked to get the Bisbilo on the press. Layouts were worked out by each section editor. Each editor was helped by the art staff to arrange his or her layouts in an artistic manner. The art staff also designed division pages and drew all the cortoons for the book. Copy was written by each section editor, checked by the copy editor, and retyped on copy sheets for the printer. Deadlines were met at the American Yearbook Company. The Executive Board met and worked personally with the publisher and printer. Their cooperation and constructive suggestions were a great asset in teaching the staff yearbook responsibilities. It was a thrill for the Bisbila staff to see their book rolling off the presses. The dummy soon changed from a rough, crudely drawn plan to a refined, printed yearbook!

The idea has met with great success, and since the membership has grown large enough, it is now possible to forcibly eject kibitzers. The organization has not yet decided, however, what to do with those of its members that insist on singing opera music while playing chess.

FEATURE HUCKLEBERRY FINN Never before hos U. High tried to produce o Junior High ploy, and the results were both enjoyable and nerve-racking. Art Ballet, the director, received his morning and evening exercise by chasing all the little ruffians through 209 and 210, especially Jimmy Whiting alias Huck Finn, who enjoyed play practice for the sole reason of sending Mr. Ballet into a tantrum. Moyne Smith's guitar could be heard with the male quartet of Dick Triemert, a southern slave, John Campbell, the great Duke impostor, Tom Quaid, the romeo Tom Sawyer in blue, and John Darley as the great King. As this was the first production of Huckleberry, adapted by Dr. Whiting, everyone was interested in the results of the production, which were really great. 17 Above: Dick Triemert and Jimmy Whiting.

At an all-school assembly, October 15, skits were given announcing the respective candidates. October 21 each student cost his vote for his favorite candidate. Before the game, at Marshall Field, the crowning assembly was held. When Linda announced the coming of the royalty, they rode on the field in a red convertible amongst the cheers of the crowd.

The robe was placed on the queen and she was presented with two bouquets of flowers. Mike Prichard, Steve Nieman, and John Levine, three members of the team, gave the attendants, Judy Christensen and Janna Broeck each a corsage. Escorted to their seats the royalty reigned in all their splendor over the game. That evening in the Junior Ballroom of Coffman Union the allschool dance was held.

A festive spirit reigned as students, faculty, parents and friends left wishing each other a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

The Little Gophers went into their 1952 football season with a handicap of two seasons without a win. They opened their season September 12th against the strong Watertown team after four weeks of practice. The U High offense made only one first down, but their defense held well. The team ployed better against Shakopee the following week, but their mistakes cost them four touchdowns. Jim Awada made the first Gopher score of the year in the fourth quarter after he faked a pass and was forced to run. Against Chaska, U High showed real power on two long touchdown drives. John Levine and Ken Boker both scored. U High met Bloomington, o definite underdog. but on the Gophers' first play, John Levine took the snap off the T and handed it to Jimmy Ellis, who went 45 yards for the score. Bloomington scored twice in the second quarter and once in the second half. Next week the boys failed to stop Norwood ond scored only in the last quarter when Jim Awada intercepted a pass and ran it for a touchdown. The spirit was high for the Orono game. U High had drubbed Coach Pesonen's team in a 1951 scrimmage and the rivalry ran high. Early in the second quarter, Jim Awada broke away on a reverse run and went 70 yards to the 12. He took a pitchout ond skirted left end for the score. Frank Odland carried over on an option play in the third quarter and threw a long pass to Dick Walker for another score. Confidence was high for the Homecoming game with Waconia, on the Marshall High field, but both teams were nearly stalemated and the game was mostly a defensive contest. Dick Walker wos the only Gopher to gain honors to the all-conference team. Ken Baker was elected captain at the end of the season. U High will have nearly a complete starting team returning for the 1953 season. 29 Mom. I,.., M, ,o m� M, Jim A„od=. Frank Odlond. Dkk Walk.,. Sk.ldan Mill.. J.k U � .

After two weeks of practice the A squad was cut to twelve men. Coach Olson dressed only fen for each game, however. He also appointed a temporary team captain before each game so that more boys could get the experience of piloting the team. As the season ended, the Little Gophers elected Dick Walker as the honorary captain of the team. In a pre-season scrimmage with Mound, the Little Gophers found themselves on the top side of 35-32 score. However, in the first official tilt of the season the Gophers played Bloomington. Bloomington was heavily favored to pace the conference and the Gophers found themselves on the short end of that game despite a pace setting 28 points by Dick Walker. The next tilt found us against Eden Prairie, a game which we won 50-42. The following three games the Little Gophers lost by close margins. In the first return game of the year we played Watertown. It was also the first game in U. High's new gym. For the first time, the Little Gophers enjoyed a home court in which they can both practice and play their games. The stands were packed that night but at the end the crowd saw Watertown on the top side of a 49-30 score. The Gophers scored a second win over Eden Prairie and a win over Waconia in their last conference game of the year to end the season with three wins and eleven losses. This placed the Gophers sixth in the conference. This year the Little Gophers B squaders ended an impressive season with a 10 win and 4 loss record. Although lost yeor's team was small and entirely sophomores, this year's squad had a big reserve with about twenty 8th, 9th, and 10th groders. Dave Melby, a student at the University, coached the Gophers in their first game, to a win over Bloomington. They won their second of the season over Eden Prairie. However, four consecutive defeats from Chaska, Orono, Shak-opee, and Watertown followed. From the next game, which was with Waconia, to the end of the season, the Little Gopher B squaders were undefeated. Playing on important part in beating every team in the league were four freshmen; Dick Gurtek, Terry Atherton, Bruce Nimmer, and Jeff Gonfield; and two sophomores,- Jock Foker and Shelly Mills. At the beginning of the season the Gophers looked good, however, at the end of the season they were 100% better. 31 WRESTLING Wrestling Scores u HIGH 32 13 Edina U HIGH 9 28 Mound U HIGH 16 28 Anoka U HIGH 12 25 Robbinsdale U HIGH 8 36 Wayzafa U HIGH 31 20 St. Paul Central U HIGH 8 39 Robbinsdale U HIGH 8 33 Mound U HIGH 19 21 St. Paul Central U HIGH 23 24 Edina u HIGH 9 32 Wayzata U HIGH 5 41 Anoka U HIGH 3 40 Hastings U HIGH 20 19 St. Cloud U HIGH 24 16 Minnetonka Front row, loft to rights Wolly Hunt, Jim Ellis.

Interest in wrestling was active at U High and the wrestling teams hove been good. Last year the team took sixth in the state and in previous years the team has done well too. Many of the boys were out trying to make the squad, getting in shape and getting down to weight. There were boys to fill all the ten weights except heavyweight, with younger boys giving the veterans competition. The win-loss column of the dual meets was not impressive, but region 5 is a rugged one and seldom fails to produce the state champion. Wally Hunt, Jim Ellis, and Ken Baker were consistent point getters, winning nearly all their matches. In the sub-regions, Ed Maki and Ken Baker were the only wrestlers to win their matches and took third and fourth places respectively in the regional matches. 32 Left: Happy U High tankiters, Fletcher Davit and John Wolf, throw Coach Anderton in the Cooke Hall pool.

SWIMMING This swimming ‘season proved fo be one of the most successful in the history of the team. Pacing the mermen to a 7 win 5 loss record were Dick Weisbrod, Joey Lund, and John Wolf in the races and Fletcher Davis and Eugene Carlson in the diving. Weisbrod, only a junior, was elected captain at the beginning of the u HIGH 40 Southwest 35 season. u HIGH 37 Washburn 38 The team functioned very well throughout u HIGH 41 Blake 34 the year.

Weisbrod again placed in the 100 yard free style and this time finished fourth with a time of 59.5 seconds, only five seconds off the state record. At the end of the meet the Little Gopher mermen found themselves in 11th place in the state meet with a total of 5 points. Not to be forgotten is coach Robert Anderson, a new faculty member. Coach Anderson was a former Y.M.C.A. swimming instructor. When considering the prospects for next year one can be sure that the Little Gophers will be good.

They worked hard ond participated in several meets: the State Invitational, the Carlton Relays, the Mound Relays and the District. The team had only two dual meets but they had the experience of whipping Bloomington, winning almost all the events except the sprints. Russ Mills came in fourth in the half mile ond Rolf Engle was fifth in the mile. Eighteen boys went out for tennis and all but five participated in some of the matches. The team had matches with schools in both the Lake conference and the Minnesota Volley conference and beot them. U High won five matches during their regular season and dropped only four. The District motches were held at Robbinsdale in May. U High did well by taking third place behind St. Louis Park and Edina. This spring the tennis team will have four returning lettermen and several other enthusiasts competing to make the squad.

During this year they exercised a new type of officiating body Instead of the traditional officers they elected only a president. Then each homeroom elected its own president along with a senator. These two people from each homeroom made up whot they called their council. This type of program worked well and primarily gave a fair representation of all the students. Aside from the very business angle of school our ninth graders also were very active in extra-curricular activities. Winter quarter they organized a sleigh ride which was a really tremendous affair. The annual Mother's Tea was under supervision of Jean Steinberg. It Happens Every Spring was the theme. Representing their homerooms in Senate were John Darley, Margaret Armstrong and John Campbell. Their alternates were Dick Backstrom, Jo Ann Mayeda ond Adele Whitcher. Next year they will be a welcomed class in senior U-High. ft - c 6. Nirmner M. Olm ted J. Oren T. Quaid R. Robiton 8. Rogers G.

The class was divided into three homerooms. Miss Ryan, Miss West, and Mr. Ballet were the advisors. Miss Ryon's homeroom, with Jimmy Awada as president, staged the Senior Assembly. John Osterberg was elected to lead Miss West's homeroom in organizing the Baccalaureate program. The theme was, I am only one, but I am one. So little done, so much to do, quoted from John Cecil Rhodes' book Union of South Africa, was the theme chosen by Russ Mills' homeroom for Commencement. An original script was written, with this theme os its title. Mr. Ballet, homeroom advisor, directed the ploy. Senior class officers were Bill Tucker, President, Ed Brugler, Vice-President, Jockie Joenisch, Secretary, and Kathy Hanson, Treasurer. Senior Senators were Don Backstrom, Don Garland, and Roger Johnson. 1 47 JUDSON HUGH ANDERSON An honest man's word is as good as his bond. Cervantes G. JAMES AWADA No limits but the sky.
