The Senior Class Presents . . . The 1961 Wayako Wayzata High School, Wayzata, Minnesota “He drew a circle that shut inc out— Heretic rebel, .1 tiling to flout. But love iiiic I had the wit to win: He drew a circle that took him in!” Edwin Markham '‘Outfitted'' Life is made up of circles and spheres, but not just visible circles like a class ring, a basketball, a quarter, or the clock on the wall. There are many invisible circles, too, of varying sizes, yet all complete, that form a person’s life, which in itself is one large circle. The circles of friendships have no beginning or end; they just keep growing stronger and larger as the circle of life grows. The circle of education doesn’t begin with kindergarten or end with graduation, but continues to grow more nearly perfect as life goes on. Our high school life forms a segment of these growing circles. “Circles though small are yet complete” (author unknown), and Wayzata High School, though small, encircles every student. We cannot say that this circle starts with education or ends with sports, because all the little circles of students, teachers, education, athletics, and all organizations and activities form one larger, more perfect circle in our lives. The Class of 1961 presents the Wayako with the hope that the invisible circles of this year may be at least partially preserved and understood.

What makes a teacher great? He must be highly educated and well versed in his subject, but this is not enough. 1 le must be a man who commands rcsjxxt wherever lie goes and in whatever he does. This is the respect won with vitality, sincerity, and friendliness. 'Hie man who has these qualities combined with poise and an outgoing personality is readily accepted by his students and fellow workers. The man who has achieved these goals and has the ability to understand and help students is bound to be successful in his new career as a counselor. We know him as a wonderful teacher whose help and influence on our lives will only be measured by time. Page Five Page Six The top at last, the circle’s finished . . . the class ring, symbol of a class and a spirit which can’t die . . . the prom with all its heartbreak and happiness . . . the diploma heralding the closing of old doors and the opening of new ones . . . although we leave, many of our names, ideas and friendships will remain to fill nitches in other circles, and influ- ence other lives.

Who arc these scholastic leaders? They are the students who give so much to our class, and get so little credit in return. Thev arc the ones who have planned ahead. It was not just in their senior year that they started to work hard and really buckle down. All through high school they have given up some of the fun and free tune that we take for granted in order to keep improving themselves and their grades. Working hard for our class in another way have been our class officers. Iliev are another kind of leader, perhaps more obvious, but still indispensable. This year thev have guided the class through elections, donations, dances, mottos, and all the decisions that a senior class must make. Now we can recognize and honor these leaders who have helped greatly to make our class what it is. Eight of tho top honor student in tho graduating cla� of 1961. Hughes. Bonnie Christians.

As a class, the Juniors worked extremely hard all year, with cake sales, candy sales, a car wash, magazine drive, and a very determined effort to collect all of the class dues.

After becoming acquainted with the halls of our school, the new students joined right in and supported the many activities as Wayzata. As the year progressed, seventh graders were seen rooting school teams on and attending school sponsored parties, reams were organized for seventh graders to join, with the purpose of training and giving the boys a chance to develop their skill. Class officers and student council representatives were elected early in the year and helped sponsor some of these activities. Seventh graders can look forward to high school, after an exciting seventh grade year. Soventh grade homo-room president! — L. to R.: Sandy Ditt-benner. Mark Anderson. Dcbby Roberts. Todd Gobcl.

A column especially reserved for the 1960 graduates appeared regularly throughout the year. An advertising insert sheet was initiated in place of the former ad section. 'This provided more page space and thus more news. Coupled with these new features were countless news and feature stories, polls, pictures and cartoons, all provided to inform and entertain the W.ll.S. readers. Editor-in-chief Judy Hughes, together with Chris Babcock: feature editor. Bruce Johnson; sports editor, Peter Walz; business manager, Carol Larson: distribution editor. Barbara Payton, exchange editor, and many reliable reporters worked to provide the l est paper possible.

It was their job to train Wayzata’s underclassmen for varsity experience in future years. This year’s ”B squad went through the entire conference season without a victory. The team was smaller in number than many of the teams in the past, and it found itself faced with many of the same problems that faced the ‘'A” squad. The junior high teams, however, finished a much more successful season. The freshmen team, coached by Mr. Hanley, lost only one game during the season. Many of these boys will be playing on the varsity squad next year and the experience they gained this year will be very beneficial to them. BACK BOW: Coach Mr. Shear. J SnowberK. K. Deschneau. J.

The'I rojon Icemen, under the coaching of Ed Miller, finished the sixteen game season with two wins and two ties, placing seventh in the Lake Conference standing. The season’s highlights were Wav-zata’s 3-1 victory over Robbinsdalc and a 3-3 tic with Bloomington. These two games increased the spirit of the team as they became a threat to all the top teams. Outstanding defensive work was again shown this year by three hardworking players. These were John Kallestad and Lyle Day on defense and Jack Etzel in the nets. Lyle Dav for a second year in a row received all-conference honorable mention while jack Etzel kept up his high percentage of stops. The offense was supported by high scorer and center, Fred Mcis-tcr, who teamed with Richard Greig and Bob Frantz. Graduating seniors this year are John Kallestad, Lyle Day, Lloyd Nielsen, joc O’Connell, Richard Greig. Tom Taylor. Jock Etzel, Fred Meistcr and player-manager Steve Wasgatt.

The 1960 61 basketball Trojans, coached by Norm Schroeder, gained valuable experience as they fell before more experienced foes. Although the win-loss record was not impressive, future teams will benefit from their experiences. In the over all season's record the Trojans won only four of their 20 games. Three of these victories were non-conference foes, while only one was against Like Conference competition. The non-conference victims were Orono, South St. Paul and U. Nigh. The highlight of the year was the Trojan’s 55-50 win over Mound, the eventual district champion. In the sub-district playoffs. Wayzata nipped U. High 42-41 before falling to powerful Edina This year's co-captains. Bob Ilagcinan and Colman Condon, were also the mainstays of the squad. Bob led in scoring with 254 points while Colman was the leading rcboundcr. Ilicrc were only six seniors on this year’s team. They included: Colman Condon, Fred bare. Bob Magcman, Mike Lynch. Jim Stowe and Bill Williams. The bomber squad, like the A-squad. did not have a very impressive season, ending with a conference record of three victories and 15 defeats.

All of these teams were ranked among the best in the state. The Troians, however, never gave up in any of these matches. Senior Bill Tillman was the most consistent point getter for the team during the year. Mis regular season record of ten wins, a tie, and a loss made him a strong contender for the state title. A late season injur)- forced Bill to withdraw from the state tournament. Only four other seniors,Larry 1 Ictlcvedt, Chuck Schocn, Dave Gangroth. and Bill Kckblad wrestled on the squad this year.

Kaufman, under the direction of Loyal Farrell, was presented to the junior high on November 16. and to the senior high and public on November 17. The plot revolved around the life of the eccentric Sycamore family. The many peculiarities which this family possessed made this play unusually humorous. Alice Sycamore became interested in Tony Kirby, a wealthy young business executive, but found it quite diffi- cult to adjust to the difference in their family backgrounds. '{Trough Grandpa Sycamore’s scheming, however, a happy solution to the problem was found. For a duration of about six weeks the cast and the various committees put many long hours of work into their play, but all tneir efforts were certainly rewarded during the p lav's three performances.

Page One Hundred and Five Mr. Ralph Thornton Mrs. Jean Mitchell Mr. Salisbury Adams Board of Education, Superintendent Direct District Activities Kvcryone in School District 284 should be very proud of his school board. A more sincere, harder working group of citizens would be difficult to find. Ilic large geographical area of our school district and the diversity of occupations of the residents demands a school board that is repre entative of a variety of interests. Mr. Thornton, board chairman, is a business executive; Mr. Adams, treasurer, is a lawyer; Mrs. Mitchell, clerk, is a homemaker; Mr. Linman is a Wavzata businessman; Mr. Bauer is a farmer; and Dr. Gchmian is a veterinarian. I hcsc people have one of the most trying yet thankless jobs devised for people eager to sene their community. The school board has to form school policy, adopt the school calendar, and establish and supervise the school budget. It is responsible for all official proceedings and legal transactions. This year much of the school board’s work has been concerned with the construction of Wavzata’$ new secondary school. 'The district’s rapidly increasing student population and limited tax base has created a multitude of new problems. As grateful students and future citizens of the community. we salute the dedicated achievement of this group. Mr. Dean Linman Mr. Arthur Bauer Dr. F. W.

Discoveries in energy production, weather modification. world communications, and outer space exploration will be startling but their occurrence is as certain as is their influence upon the lives of poplc in our society. Biological and social innovations are also certain to modify trends as arc new efficiencies in the process of learning. In a national and world culture that is accelerating its rate of change, the school’s task is to help young people-set and maintain a personal pace that is adjusted to the changing pace in society; personalize the educational experience of the student; help the student find mailing in the present and sec the relation between the present and the future. 'Iliosc of us working in the schools have tried to accomplish these goals with and for you. I am in hopes that each of you will continue your education after leaving high school either by going to college or to technical and vocational schools, ft is imperative that each of you view education as a continuous ife process rather than on a terminal basis. It is obvious that we can anticipate that the changes within occupational and professional fields will be more pronounced in the next decade than at any period in our nistory. As a result of viewing education as continuous you will be able to develop the occupational flexibility that will assure you of your personal future success and at the same time you will be providing our nation with the assurance of a ready supply of adaptable manpower which is vital to the future of our country.

Senior High Principal This book is a record of some of your accomplishments. You can Ik justly proud of your achievement to this mint. However, as you look ahead you need a goal which will make it possible for you to make the greatest possible contribution to society. You must not think only of individual success. In a world characterized by atomic power, rockets, missiles, men in space, newly emerging countries and conflicting ideologies you will have to Ik concerned with many unsolved problems. Our country needs a well educated citizenship dedicated to the basic principles upon which it is founded. You will have to accept responsibilities which will make it possible for our country to retain its position of leadership. lire world presents a tremendous challenge to all good men of faith. May you meet this challenge. Roai.d II. Johnson, Principal Wayzata Senior High School To the Class of 1961: As von look through the pages of this Wayako you will discover the relationship which exists between the students and the school. Iliis relationship begins the moment a student enters in the 7th grade, and grows ever stronger as he looks toward graduation. A portion of this relationship is the responsibility of the school to you. The students expect tlic school to direct them into a progressive curriculum, proper motivations. a conducive environment, and a program of worthwhile activities. To the enhancement of this relationship between the school and the individual, arc the contributions that each student has made in the years at Wayzata Nigh. Your spirit, vitality, and quest for knowledge that each has given constitutes, in part, the success of your high school; and also your willingness to accept the challenge that life holds with its consequences and its goodwill.

The words of Plato inspired his followers. Me needed neither books nor a classroom to accomplish his aim. Today, when facilities for education arc emphasized so greatly, we must remember that it is the teacher who stimulates his student's interest in learning. It is the Anthony Zigneigo Typing Bookkeeping teacher who sets a high moral standard for his students to follow. Many times an instructor can utilize his experience with life and living to guide his students' energies into productive channels. Representative of the highest goals of our cdu rational system, the teacher transforms ideals into actualities.

Marlon Polosky and Greg Wenner Page One Hundred and Nineteen Flowing Cycle of Moods Permeates School Life The main purpose of school is to further our learning, both in books and in those things that are intangible, such as attitudes, and the ability to form careful julgmcnts as we progress in years. But most important arc the many hours we spend in the various classrooms with our teachers. Each course at our school has a purjx� se. Each plays a specific role in Wayzata's educational system. I hc contribution of each individual class can be added to that of other classes and the result is significant. Ihc result is a well-organized, efficient system which promotes all these varied phases of learning. This system is composed of eleven vital departments—social studies. English, science, math, foreign language, commercial, industrial arts, physical education, home economics, music, and art. The Social Studies Department deals with the relations of people to each other and to their surroundings both in the present and in the past. Students learn how to relate jxist happenings to present situations. Through their years with the English Department students learn the rules of grammar and composition. Their introduction to reading with depth leads to an appreciation of literature. An understanding of literature and poetry helps the student understand human nature. One of the functions of the Science Department is to develop the student’s interest in science. While acquiring a usable knowledge of the subject the student develops an appreciation of scientific procedure. The entire process is one of the individual’s becoming acquainted with things foreign to him. Students leant to apply principles to problems in math classes. This involves practice in discipline. A person who is able to organize his thoughts in this manner is better prepared to cope with problems that arise in his daily life. Ihe study of foreign languages also involves discipline of the mind. Students master the formality of the language, the vocabulary. and the idioms. 1'hcn they practice writing and speaking that language. Students also learn the similarities and differences between Latin. Spanish, French and English. The Commercial Department stresses the preparation of students for the business world. Students following the program master the techniques of stenography, lxiokkecping. typing, and office practice. Mechanical drawing, printing, metal work, electricity, and wood work are the courses offeree! by the Industrial Arts Department. Boys connected with this department gain valuable knowledge about these skills. They learn the introductory material necessary for going on in their respective vocations after graduation. 'Ilirough his contact with the Physical Education Department the student learns how to gain or maintain good health. lie develops his physical fitness by class participation while gaining a knowledge of recreational activities which he will be able to use in later life. Page One Hundred and Twenty Girls in the I Ionic Economics Department learn the basic-skills of home-making. Included in the curriculum arc such valuable courses as food preservation, menu planning, cooking, nutrition, sewing, and home planning. All these will be of use to the girls in the future. The Music Department aims at developing a greater appreciation and understanding of music on the part of the student. Students develop their abilities while participating in such activities as chorus or band. Students in the Art Department create original and interesting works. They develop their skill and knowledge of fundamental principles as they work with drawing, painting and crafts of all kinds. As in music, students in this department learn a true appreciation of the subject. Puge One Hundred and Twenty-One lx:ft: A classmate’s suggestion often enhances learning.
