Special Guests at our March 15th meeting were representatives of five groups from Minnetonka High School. Dr Don Draayer introduced Dr Dennis Peterson, superintendent of the district, and Ted Schultz, the director of co-curricular activities at the high school. It was the first time many of us had heard Ted talk, and he had the distinct honor of introducing team members from 5 MHS activities which have gained statewide recognition..
Two students were introduced from the State 2nd place MHS boys' Alpine Skiing Team, from the State Champion Girls' Alpine Skiing Team, from the State Champion Boys' Swimming Team, and from the highest award-winning one act play cast. All of the students gave a short talk about themselves and the team experience, and we had a short excerpt from a very powerful play that was the winner in the one act play competition. Four students were present from the girls State Champion Hockey team. They also introduced themselves and talked of the tournament experience. Noted among the hockey players was Don Draayer's granddaughter.
