Grams Principal r 1 o -J Peuod ADMINISTRATION j L. W. Telschow Superintendent FACULTY WORKSHOP September 3 1959 found all of the above teachers on hand awaiting last minute Instructions from the Superintendent and Principal before another school campaign began. Mr. Stanley Stassen, President of the Board of Education extended a welcome to the teachers and gave a short address on 'The School and the Teacher. Reports on Special Class, Library, PTA, A-V, and the teacher handbook took up the balance of the day. A trip to the Seaforth School and time to work in classrooms in preparation for the opening of school took up the teacher's time on Friday and so everything was ready for another busy year. All through the year the faculty met as the Wabasso Education Association in a special organization to promote better learning in the community. Pres- ident of this teacher's group was Mrs. Anderson with Mrs. Krengel act- ing as Secretary.

Through rain, sleet, and snow these girls are on the bus every morning and afternoon to check attendance for that day. Another important duty of the bus patrol girl is to keep order in the bus while it is in motion so that the bus driver can keep all his attention on the road.

While studying a unit on the Bakery, we tried our hand at baking bread and later enjoyed eating it. Cutie, a yellow canary, was a welcome addition to our room. He sang while we worked, and started us on a bird unit in which we learned much about birds and their habits.

Some of these games were played during the halves of the high school basketball games. The fifth graders have been enjoying science. They have been carrying on many experiments. They now have a portable silence table in their room and they also have new science books. SIXTH GRADE Mrs. Negaard The sixth graders were moved into the old school building the last part of the school year because the kindergarden class is being taught in their old room. On May 12, 19o0, the sixth graders went by bus to Minnea- polis and St. Paul to view the Capitol Building, the Ford Plant, Como Park, Minneapolis Public Library, Science Mu- seum, and the Minnesota Historical Society.

The paper has justified margins and a great deal more art work. The re- porters have a deadline to meet just like any other newspaper has. But mostly it takes respons- ibility and cooperation by everyone to get the paper out neatly and on time. Left to right: Standing—B. Schaffran, N. Walter, K. Irl- beck, N. Caw, B. Jensen, K.

A comedy, Ever Since Eve -, was presented by the Junior Class on Dec- ember 4 1959. This play was the mirthful story of complications aris- ing in the publishing of the high school paper, 'The Penguin '. A cast of fifteen, under the di- rection of Mrs. Victor Christensen, provided an evening of carefree and light-hearted entertainment.

The last semester they issued Line Bucker’3 Passes to students on the A and A- honor rolls, to the neatest dressed boy and Girl from each class, and to those who received other special honors.

At the beginning of the year, the seventh graaers found high school rather confusing. They had to learn to move from room to room for their classes, do more studying, and operate their locker combinations. 'Within a short time, however, they became familiar with the schedule.

This year the sophomores were kept occupied concentrating on English, American History, biology, health, and physical education; the requirements for graduation. Their other subjects were typing, geometry, advanced algebra, home economics. Industrial arts, and music appreciation. They also took part in band and chorus. Mrs. Smith and Mr. Patterson were their class advisers. JUNIORS Left to Right P. McCorkell----Vice Pres. J. Wetter---—-S. Council M. Kuehn--------Treasurer M. Willhite-----S. Council R.

They had many concession stands at Basketball games to earn money. Then they started planning the Junior-Senior Prom. Next year they will be the lucky ones when they are the guests at the Prom. Barbara Walter and Tom Christensen were graduation honor guards. □ Left to right: Standing—R. Dennistoun, R. Eis, T. Christensen, 0. Fix- sen, R. Bernardy, D. Beerman, G. Davis, J. Magin, N.

In conjunction with the PTA, they are sponsoring a scholarship for a worthy WHS individual who is planning to en teaching field. They also had cake and pie sales to raise money. Their advisors for the year were Mrs. Krengel and Mrs. Arndt. ADULT EDUCATION When You Stop Learning You Stop Living was the motto of the Adult Night Classes of the Wabasso Public High School during the 1959-1960 school year. Wabasso and America are convinced that education is for all. The idea that every community should provide for the continuing education of adults is rapid- ly being accepted. The door has been opened for a program which should grow year by year to meet the needs and desires of the Wabasso area. Classes offered this year included Vocal Music conducted by Mr. Solheim. This particular class formed a choir and sang a variety of songs during the first hour of their weekly two hour meetings. The second hour was spent lis- tening to records in music appreciation. The shop was the scene of a very popular class. Gas and arc welding was the subject, and the two hour sessions were divided into one hour lectures and one hour practice sessions. A general discussion was held at the close of each practice period. Formation of the Wabasso Whirlers came about because of the square dancing class which started in November. Instructions were offered to beginning coupLes, and the two and a half hours of practice soon had everyone swinging in superior fashion. Concluding activity for Adult Education this year was the art class which included sketching, lettering, animated cartooning, water color and oil paint- ing. Local instructors included Mrs. Archie Dennistoun and Mr. Arnold Kramer. We, The Future Homemakers of America... Mary Willhite, District Vice- President, consults her advisor.

The highlight of the year for us was the naming of one of our mem- bers, Mary Willhite, as District Vice- President. State Convention, here we come!

Paul Almjeld played a long season with or for the effort. A look at the season's st much better light. For instance, over the entire season Wabasso was only outscored by 13 fieldgoals and actually attempted more shots from the field than their opposition. Defense, or the lack of it, and poor free throwing proved to be the undoing of the locals. The lack of men because of fouls in late stages of games caused them to drop many close games. All of the Seniors fired for good field goal averages with Lange leading at 39%; Ban- gerter, Schmidt, and Almjeld all at 33 ! and Fennern shooting a good 28% for the year. Returning next year are Siegfried, Dennistoun, Chuck and George Evans, Hauptli, Friedly, Bill, and Werner. All are expected to help out and pros- pects for a rather good year seem in order.

Most people hardly no- ticed the B team, coached by Skip Davis, as they started off each night of basketball entertainment by playing the preliminary game. However, the game was preliminary in name only as the B teamers hustled to a 5 won and 9 lost record by showing great de- sire to play winning basket- ball. The habits, skills, and experience acquired in these games should benefit every player in the future. CHEERLEADERS The cheerleaders en- joyed another year leading the student body and sup- porting our team. They attended the cheerleading clinic In Granite Palls in October and they also were hosts to the Christmas Basket- ball tournament. TEAM Left to right--Standing--J. Fennern; B, Werner, Mascot; C.

BASEBALL Having only two returning letter- men, too much rain and cold weather, and no experienced pitcher proved to be too much for the Rabbits who lost all three games played this year. The Junior High School Team faired much better as they won two of the three games played with Echo and St. Anne's. The experience gained by the younger players, even while losing, should promise a winning season in 1961. J ■ TRACK The I960 track season can be termed as successful. Wabasso High School placed 3rd in the Little Five Con- ference Track Meet, 7th in District 10 Track Meet, and two members of the team won honors to compete in the regional ta ack meet. We feel that the graduating seniors of this year's track team will be hard to replace next year, as they were the leading scorers on the team. BASEBALL TEAM Left to Right; Back Row: R. Pauling, R.

Highlights Included talks by Senator Zwach, Dr. Diessner of Redwood Falls, a trip to Lamberton to hear Elmer L. Andersen, and a visit to a local party caucus. Plans for the 1960-61 year include holding a mock election at school and helping in the actual campaigning. SENIOR CLASS PLAY Left to right: C. Hammersohmldt, B. Montgomery, J. Lovald, 0, Johnson, V.
