HufWijefc. THE 1940 WAYAKO published by the SENIOR CLASS Wayzata High School Foreword As the class of 1940 prepares to enter the outside world, each member of the class will go on his separate way. ‘The Wayako” stands as our last work as a group. As we turn these pages in years to come, our four years of high school will again unfold before us. To every member of the class the pictures and the stories in this annual will bring back the good times we have had during our high school careers. And, as we graduate, we leave “The Wayako” behind us to remind others, who will be the seniors of tomorrow, of the class of 1940. THE WAYAKO The present school building was erected in 1921. Built in a pueblo style of architecture, it is the most picturesque school in this vicinity. Another feature that adds to its beauty is the location over-looking Lake Minnetonka. Recently crowded quarters necessitated a twelve-room addition to the school which was put into use in the fall of 1939. In 1936 a football field, especially designed to give the best service, was dedicated. In 1938 lights were added to the field. These added features, together with additions in the curriculum, have given Wayzata an up-to-date, progressive type of education. Page 3 THE WAYAKO We, the class of 1940, wish to dedicate our annual to the faculty, who during the past four years have devoted their time and knowledge to help us to face more clearly our future problems. To them, and especially to Mr. Heinemann and to Miss Bruce, we do hereby dedicate this work in order to express our thanks to them and to hope that in its small way the 1940 edition of The Wayako” may be accepted as a token of our appreciation.

Aaron Slick Students selected from the entire high school made up the cast of Aaron Slick. the old time melodrama presented February 2 and 3 under the direction of Mr. Einar Ryden. The plot concerns itself with the attempts of Wilbur Merridew to get Mrs. Berry's farm away from her. Mr. Merridew has found oil on the property and is anxious to get it for as little as possible. Sis Riggs overhears the conversation between Mr. Merridew and his niece. Gladys May. She gets some of the oil and shows it to Aaron Slick, who reveals after the others have left that he had dumped several barrels of oil in the spring a few days earlier. Mrs. Berry and Sis Riggs move to the city to spend the money. When Aaron comes to visit Mrs. Berry, the Girl in Red gets the better of him — almost. Aaron offers Mr. Merridew a sum of money to settle out of court, but Clarence Green, detective, enters and drags Mr. Merridew off to jail for a deal pulled in Iowa a few years previously. With everything settled. Aaron finally proposes to Mrs. Berry who accepts, and they all return to the farm.

Beginner's Luck “Beginner’s Luck,” the junior class play, was presented February 22 under the direction of Miss lone McGee. The entire action took place in the living room of a studio apartment in Greenwich Village, New York City, which was occupied by four girls who called themselves the Clover Club. The four girls were Jean, who was going to write the great American novel; Gail, whose soprano voice was destined to send a thrill up every spine in the Metropolitan Opera House; Meg, who was going to drag painting bodily into a new Renaissance, and Pat, who was about to set the world aflame a la Sarah Bernhardt. The actresses for the above mentioned parts were Arlawyen Vickerman, Joan Hocking. Rosa Locke, and Dorothy Gramer respectively. The girls wrote an enthusiastic letter to their parents about their good fortune, which was non-existent. To their surprise and dismay they received a note from Birdie Brown, society editor of the home town paper, in which she stated that she would come to visit them. Harriet Spates played the part of Birdie Brown. Jean hit upon the idea of having their friends masquerade as influential people visiting them. Paul Hanford or Charles Nolte becomes an art critic; Chris Murray or David Munns. a literary agent; Tony Donato or Victor Buchanan, a Metropolitan conductor; and Bramwell Booth or Clark Peterson, a play producer. While they were entertaining Birdie Brown with these friends, four authentic persons: Marilyn Ellis as Mm. Hunperdinck of the Metropolitan; Robert Frick as Clarence Coy of the Madison Art Gallery; Patty Quay as Lucy Riggs, a literary agent; and John Birong as Boris Borislavsky, a Russian theatrical director, arrived through the kindly efforts of the mysterious Mr. X. played by Don Cameron. Everything was finally settled in a satisfactory manner, and the girls’ rosiest dreams came true. Page 17 THE WAYAKO Back Row—Virgil Holst. Nell Hur� h. Kcrmlt Eistnger. Hibbert Sidnam.

The Eyes of Tlaloc On May 10 the seniors presented “The Eyes of Tlaloc,” a mystery, which was directed by Miss lone McGee. Amanda and Ezra Simpkins are the New England caretakers of the ranch in Arizona owned by John Wayne. While they are waiting for Pudge Rogers, a sage brush taxi driver, the professor arrives closely followed by Tommy Tinker. As they sit together, they discuss the idol. Tlaloc, whose mural hangs on the wall. Nancy. John Wayne’s niece, arrives accompanied by Virginia and Pat. Nancy becomes angry when Nawa tells her that Tlaloc has caused the disappearance of Wayne. Salvado del Santos, a Mexican gentleman, and Pepita, his sister, appear to find Wayne, the man Pepita claims she married. The mixup is settled in the end when the professor turns out to be Wayne’s cousin who married Pepita using Wayne’s name. The wail of Tlaloc is heard through the entire play, and the ugly idol casts a mysterious atmosphere over the action.

High School Chorus During the past year outstanding accomplishments can be credited to the high school a cappela chorus which numbers seventy voices. The extensive repertoire of this organization includes both religious and secular arrangements. Last October the chorus presented the colorful gypsy operetta Chonila. At Christmas time the choir furnished the musical background for the beautiful pageant Why the Chimes Rang. On February sixth the chorus led the community singing of patriotic songs at the monthly meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association. On April fifth the Wayzata Chorus took part in the second annual Hennepin County Music Festival which was held at the St. Louis Park High School. The event that every chorus member anticipates with joy and feeling of accomplishment is the annual concert. This was presented jointly with the band on April tenth in the school auditorium. Several smaller vocal groups were formed within the chorus. The octet included Shirley Braden. Virginia Lewis. Lorrayn Dumas. Patty Quay. Allan Gotten, Paul Luttio. John Hughart, and Virgil Holst; they sang at the junior class play and many other events. The quartette included Lowell Lin-man, Larry Day. Philip Luttio. and Lew Stemmer. This group presented an especially entertaining act at the melodrama Aaron Slick. The soloists were Virginia Lewis, Shirley Braden, and Lorrayn Dumas. The accompanist was Shirley Braden. Paul Luttio, president, and Virginia Lewis, secretary, were the officers of the chorus. The chorus finishes the current year in a blaze of glory in their appearance at the Baccalaureate and the Commencement Exercises. Miss Selvig is the capable director of this organization.

High School Band The school band, which was organized in 1931, had accomplished very little until this year. However, as a result of the hard work of Mr. A. J. Nornberg, the director, and Mr. Thomas Harding, assistant director, the band was reorganized last fall and developed into a fine organization. Special practices were held whenever the director deemed it necessary and every Monday evening. Individual lessons wre given to beginners and to students interested in joining the band. These lessons were given during study periods convenient to the director and student. The band appeared at all the pep fests and at almost all the home football and basketball games. On March sixteenth this group performed at the Twin City Milk Producers' Association Conference. On April tenth the band presented a well-received co-concert with the chorus. The band was represented at the Saint Louis Park Music Festival on April fifth. The representatives were Nellie Boomhower, saxophone; Philip Luttio, clarinet; and Hibbert Sidnam. trumpet. These members took part in the mass band formed by the various lake district schools. The present band consists mostly of junior high school people. They all have proved capable of good work. They are being developed to the point where Wayzata will have a band that it can justly be proud of in the future. Page 20 THE WAYAKO Back Row—Doan Lin man, Vlrgtl Holst, Charles Nolte.

Student Council To provide a means of student government, to develop good citizenship, and to promote a spirit of co-operation between students and faculty—these are the purposes of the Wayzata High School Student Council which was officially accepted by the student body in 1933. A homecoming celebration each fall is the outstanding council activity. It also sponsors a student police force to enforce council regulations in the school building and on the grounds; noon activities of dancing, games, and a study room during the winter months; an all-school party in the spring; and an eighth grade day for the purpose of acquainting outside students and Wayzata eighth graders with the operation of our high school. This year, for the first time, the council gave dances after home basket ball games and gave lessons in ballroom dancing for beginners. Presidents for the year 1939-40 were Neil Hursh and David Munns. vice presidents were Charles Nolte and Mary O'Keefe, Virgil Holst was treasurer, and Anne Brunsdale was secretary. Miss Marie Bruce and Mr. F. E. Heinemann are the council advisers. Page 21 THE WAYAKO Back Row—Lorraine Meyer. Virgil Holst. Ray Anderson. Hermit Eistngcr. John Hughart. Sally Sowle.

Mary O'Keefe, was assisted by Charles Nolte, associate editorial: Eugene Ogin. sports editor; and Marian Larsen, business manager. Miss Dorothy Ramsland is the faculty adviser. The Wayzatan is a member of the National Scholastic Press Association and in the last year won first class honor rating. Staff members attend the Minnesota High School Press Association Convention each year. The paper aims to publicize and to promote school events, to interest students in activities, and to familiarize outside readers with the aims and practices of modern education. It is financed by selling advertising space to local merchants, by paper sales, and by subscription. The staff picnic every spring, with the traditional strawberry ice-cream dessert, is one of the highlights of the year for staff members. Page 23 THE WAYAKO Back Row--Buck Buchanan. Don Manning.

Dramatic Club Since its organization in 1933 the Dramatic Club, under the flawless guidance of Mr. Einar Ryden, has proved to be one of the most popular clubs with the students of Wayzata High School. Students who tried out and were accepted as members of the club must maintain a “C average or better at all times, attend club meetings, be willing to serve on committees, and take an interest in all of the club’s productions. During the past few years, when the club was not in the midst of a production, several of the club members would take charge of supplying entertainment: such as skits, readings, and humorous sayings at the regular weekly meetings. Because this committee consisted of different individuals each week, each member was given an opportunity to exert his most convincing dramatic ability. This year the Dramatic Club presented Aaron Slick from Punkin Crick.” a melodrama, which proved to be an unusual success. The receipts from this presentation were placed in the athletic fund to help pay for the flood lights on our football field. A yearly function of the Dramatic Club is its production of a Christmas play, the musical talent of which is supplied by the high school chorus. This year, the club gave the traditional Why the Chimes Rang,” which has been presented during the past several years. Page 24 THE VA YA KO Back Row—Magdalen Schmitz. Marian Larsen. David Munns.

National Honor Society The Wayzata Chapter of the National Honor Society of Secondary Schools was established in 1934 in recognition of those students who have excelled in scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Through the selection of fifteen per cent of the senior class and five per cent of the junior class each year. Wayzata is well represented in the society by a group of excellent honor students who have been elected by the high school faculty. This organization is headed by a president, vice president, secretary and treasurer. Upon their election into the society, each member receives a gold pin on which is the raised emblem of a flaming torch. These new members are initiated at a spring banquet held by the society. The following were elected last spring: Mary O'Keefe Virginia Lewis Marian Jackson The following were elected this spring: SENIORS Jean Nixon Irene Striebel Sally Sowle Marian Larsen Magdalen Schmitz Jane Mattson Viola Hanson JUNIORS Margaret Johnson Charles Nolte David Munns Page 25 THE WAYAKO Back Row—Marilyn Sheridan.

Cheerleaders- Marian Jackson. Mary O'Keefe. Rosa Locke. Betty Grey. Pep Club The Pep Club is a girls’ organization formed for the purpose of extending school spirit and fostering high standards of sportmanship. This year the club members, under the guidance of Miss Barbara Harding, took charge of preparing skits for pep fests, crowning of the homecoming queen, decorating the queen's float for the homecoming parade, and sponsoring a contest to acquire a few new yells to be used at football and basketball games. The four cheer leaders were Marian Jackson, Mary O’Keefe. Rosa Locke, and Betty Grey. The club officers for the past year were Rosa Locke, president; Jeanne Crahan. vice president; Joanne Fortin, secretary; and Marian Larsen, treasurer. Because of the faithful service Marian Jackson had given as cheer leader during her four years of high school, the members of the Pep Club presented her with a silver charm, in the form of a megaphone, at the last pep fest of the basketball season.

Hobby Club In 1936 a group of our high school boys who were interested in the construction of model airplanes formed a club, which at that time was called the Model Airplane Club. Since many of the boys wanted a greater variety in the things they could make as members of the club, they changed the name to the Hobby Club. At present there are no restrictions relative to the types of articles made. The members are free to make such things as model airplanes, hunting knives, picture frames, wooden gun models, miniature houses, and book racks. The club consists of about forty active members who meet to work on their hobbies during home room periods on Mondays and Wednesdays. The club has as its supervisor Mr. V. A. Johnson, who is also the industrial arts instructor. The officers of the Hobby Club for the past year were Curtis Quady, president; Frank Andrews, vice president; and Paul Johnston, secretary-treasurer. Page 27 THE WAYAKO Back Rok—Orlo Eisingor.

Ex Libris Club Holger Kent, junior, is this year's president of the Ex Libris or Book Club. During the first semester he was assisted by Lonnie Hoke, vice president; Marilyn Ellis, secretary; and Alice Beardsley, treasurer. Second semester aides were Lonnie Hoke, vice president: Joan Hocking, secretary; and Dorothy Ann Cramer, treasurer. Miss Carol Haywood is the faculty adviser. The club was organized in 1937 to increase student interest in good literature. Each bi-monthly meeting consists of a book review, instruction in the use of the library. or other activities pertaining to literature preceded by the regular business meeting. This year the club visited a printing establishment and a Minneapolis library. During the year they have kept a scrap book of clippings and pictures of club activities, book reviews, and other items of literary interest. They have also had displays of the works of prominent authors, together with interesting facts of their lives. A number of current fiction and non-fiction books have been purchased and placed on a rental shelf in the library. Book Club members have the privilege of reading them without charge. The fee for other students is ten cents a week. A literary tea was given in the fall for parents of the members, the school board, and the faculty. Page 28 THE U'AVAKO Back Row Betty Mollis.

It is open to girls who have taken or are taking home economics. The chief aim of the club is to develop more fully the home economic interest of its members. It also provides social training, promotes democracy, develops teamwork and friendship, and stimulates interest in hobbies for the girls. The girls in the club are kept busy as well as entertained through many activities; such as. skits, teas, service at banquets, and trips to various manufacturing plants of interest to them. The most important feature of the year is their attendance at the Student Club Conference on the campus of the University of Minnesota. During the past year, under the supervision of Miss Eunice Hendrickson succeeded by Mrs. Nedra Rosing, the club was very active. They presented a play and also held a candy sale. Their domestic club work consisted of demonstrations in baking, projects, and knitting. The most important acquisition of the club is its library. The climax of the year's work is the presentation of a gold pin to the senior girl who has been most active in this branch of the National Home Economics Association. The following were officers for the first and the second semesters: I II President ................Elsie Holst Betty Helgerson Vice President.........Mary Toomey Elsie Holst Secretary..............Patricia Hilde Viola Swaningson Treasurer..............Gladys Morris Roberta Risoen Page 29 THE YAYAKO 1. “Try it a ain, now.” 7.

Wrestling Team Wayzata, in its first year of organized wrestling, came through very successfully, as they placed in both the district and state meets. In the final meet of the season they lost to the state champions, Robbinsdale, by 23-17. Chick Johnson, heavyweight, lost out in the finals of the state meet. Coach Jeppesen must be given a great deal of credit for the showing of the wrestlers, as he spent long hours teaching the boys new holds and how to break them. The following were responsible for Wayzata’s success this year: Chick Johnson, hardworking heavyweight, won the majority of his matches and took second in the state meet. Charlie Hensel, 135 pound grappler, won his letter and took most of his matches. John Jordan, 145 pound lad, was a sure winner if not hampered by injuries. Graduating from this year’s squad are Chick Johnson, Roy MacFarland, and Royce Fassler. Page 31 THE WAYAKO Back Row—Donald Cleveland. Lowell Linman, Douglas Tighc. LcRoy Welch, Charles Howe.

Tieing highly rated St. Louis Park and Mound squads and losing to Excelsior and Robbinsdale by single touchdowns. it was not so bad as the record indicates. Leading the play in the line were “Tubby” Johnson and Bud Odell at the guards; Chick Johnson. husky tackle, was a bulwark on defense. In the backfield Berg and Manning carried the defensive work while Hursh and Carmody were outstanding in advancing the ball. Graduating from this year’s squad are Captain Johnson, Odell, B.

Football Team Wayzata's 1939 gridders, after a good start, ran into difficulties as the season progressed and dropped their final games to ruin what had looked like championship possibilities when practice started. Fighting every inch of the way the boys were overwhelmed by superior reserves of the larger schools. In the opening game the Wayzata lads had the game on ice only to have it tied at 12-12 in the last three minutes of play. In the following game with St. Louis Park they fought the favored suburban team to a 6-6 tie. In the next game with Columbia Heights they came off with a 13-0 victory as Hursh, Manning and Carmody played outstanding ball. Tubby” Johnson fighting Wayzata captain, and Odell at the guards led the play in the line for the Blue and Gold. Hursh and Carmody were outstanding in the backfield.

Basketball Squad The 1939-1940 basketball squad will be long remembered as a team which had several players on the squad able to come through with plenty of points, but who never could get together on one night. No less than six players were individual high scorers on certain nights, but they were able to win only one conference game during the season. Scoring for the season was divided as follows: Kreatz 75. Manning 63. Kent 43. Swaggert 43. Ogin 33. Anderson 27, Gosko 8. Wallin 6.

Basketball Team A Wayzata team made up of four seniors, five juniors and one sophomore was too inexperienced to win many games of the regular schedule, but many of the boys developed into capable and dependable players as the season progressed. With four lettermen graduating. Coach Odanovich will have five lettermen back as a nucleus for next year’s team. Leading the play for the 1939-40 season were: Captain Holger Kent — a high class defensive guard, who was the fastest man on the floor and broke up many opposition plays. Clyde Kreatz — the high scoring center of the Wayzata five, who got half the rebounds and was clearly the most valuable man on the team. Carl Swaggert — long shot ace of the Wayzata team, who was one of the outstanding shooters of the conference. Donald Manning — a great man in getting the rebounds and second high scorer on the squad. Ray Anderson — another great rebound man. who was also a defensive ace. Reserves who played important parts were Ogin. Gosko and Wallin. Kreatz. Swaggert. Anderson and Ogin are graduating from this year’s five. Page 35 THE U' IV IKO Back Row—Coach Nombcrg. Ray Miller. Atwood Larson. Ross Styncr. Richard Lanphcr. Duannc Johnston. Don Cameron.

Hockey Hockey in its first year at Wayzata brought a pleasant surprise, as the pucksters downed both St. Louis Park and Robbinsdale after they had taken an early defeat at the hand of Blake, one of the best prep hockey teams in the state. In the Robbinsdale game they trounced the Robbins 10-1, as Grey and Hursh had a field day. In the Park game Wayzata came out on top 4-2 after both goalies had turned in great defensive games. Quady in the nets for the Wayzata sextet was nearly invincible on some of his stops. Coach Nornberg started practice after Christmas vacation and developed the team until it was one of the most dangerous sextets in the district. Any team who played the Blue and Gold pucksters took a physical beating at the hands of the Wayzata huskies. Leading the Wayzata six were Grey, hard driving forward: Hursh at defense position; and Quady in the nets. Graduating from this year’s six will be Grey. Hursh, Quady, Odell. Crahan. Larson, and Dickey. Page 36 THE WAYAKO Back Row—Robert Rose. Larry Day. John Birorn:. Ray Anderson. Kerimt Eisinger. Kenneth Coyne. George Gosko. Bob Johnson. John Howe. Third Row—Lynn Cornell.

Preliminary workouts were held indoors as the boys jogged through the corridors. To furnish a clue as to the ability of the boys a practice dual meet was held with Hopkins on April nineteenth. The next week Robbinsdale was entertained followed by tne Mound Medley Relays. The district meet was held, for the first time in the history of the Lake Conference, at the University of Minnesota Stadium on May ninth. Only three lettermen returned from the previous year. They were Berg, pole vault; Anderson, hi-low hurdles; and Carmody. hi-low hurdles. The team was bolstered by Kent. Eisinger. Hughart. Gosko. Luttio. Munns, Hursh, Bob Johnson, and Hughes. Golf The 1939-40 golf team of Wayzata High School finished a fairly successful season having participated in several dual meets with other lake district schools.

The Girls' Athletic Association is an organization to promote athletic interests and activities for high school girls and to foster a high standard of sportsmanship. The girls earn points by participating in basketball, soccer, volleyball, and baseball tournaments. This year the tournaments in volleyball and basketball were won by the seniors. Members also get points for every sport in which they participate in and out of school. When a girl secures 75 points, she receives her class numeral. After earning 50 points she receives a G. A. A. emblem. Upon getting 225 points she receives her “W . Senior girls who have earned 275 points are eligible to be chosen the honor athlete by their classmates. The member elected receives a pin.
