The Meaning Of Matoskan ls Revealed As Theme For I966 Matoskan all White Bear's science department houses precision equipment. Students make a beeline for the Division Street bus caravan. WBHS students have purchased and read annuals for forty-six years. Yet, most students, when questioned about the strange name of their year- book, do not have an answer. After diligent delving and probing, the staff discovered that the word comes from the Sioux Indians and means gray bear who wanders and looks over. Who selected this name is not known, but it was officially adopted in 1927. Yearbooks had formerly been classed the White Bear High School Annual. The gray bear who wandered with us through the school year saw growth, activity and change. In '65-'66 nearly 1600 students filled the halls, the classrooms and the cafeteria. Activity was evident throughout the year. Two additional clubs were organized and an exciting sports season was topped by champion hockey and gymnastics teams. Change was signalled in two forms. A cold lunch cafeteria was established downstairs and the aca- demic circle addition was begun. Come with the gray bear now as he once again begins his journey through the year. The cafeteria--a favorite after-school gathering place. ,. ,,,.. .,,t t.l . EWS fiiliiit .4 at e We , .
