DL 1946 MOUND BUILDER BROWNS VALLEY MINNESOTA The third mound has been built. Another step has been added to the ladder of activ- ities in Browns Valley High School. The Inter Lochen , published in 1910, was the first school book to appear in Browns Valley. Another annual, The Mound Builder , was produced in 1926, and a third, in 1940, which was also called The Mound Builder . We are continuing in 1945 under the same well- chosen name. When the staff started work, we were pressed for time, but now you have the fin- ished product before you. We hope that you may draw much pleasure and enjoyment from its pages, and in future years recall the days of your career in the halls of Browns Valley High School.

President 3-4 Basketball 2-3 Class Play 3 Newspaper 4 CLASS PROPHECY On June 7th, 1966, Supt. O.S. Swenumson swung the door shut of the newly built plastic school building of Browns Valley, and climbed in beside Mrs. Swen- umson in their atom-propelled auto-gyro. Duchess the 4th barked gleefully from the side compartment as the gyro slowly lifted into the air, starting the Swenum- sons on their world wide tour, which they had planned since 1946. As they were flying east, Mr. Swenumson noticed that the gyro was getting low on atoms, so he made a forced landing in what turned out to be Pennsylvania. While the gyro was being refueled, the Swenumsons decided to tour the famous Nicholas Coal Mines, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Nick Hess, the latter being the form er Doris Nelson. When the gyro was ready, the Swenumsons and Duchess the 4th again started on their way. About dusk they stopped at the Waldorf Astoria in New York and regist- ered for the night. Here they were surprised to see Bill Spotts, chief bell boy, who suggested showing them the town that night after he finished work. Going into the famous Blue Room, they encountered Mary Ann Roerig working as a cigarette girl. Time flew as they talked over old times, and before they real- ized it was time to return to the hotel. Upon their return the Swenumsons discovered Duchess lying on the sidewalk, where she had apparently fallen from the bedroom window. They immediately rushed her to the Belleveue Hospital. While waiting for Duchess they met Audrey Peick- ert, going on duty. She proudly stated she was now hospital technician and prom- ised to take good care of Duchess while they completed their trip. The next morning the Swenumsons resumed their journey. They left the coast at 9 A.M. and flew over the Atlantic to the Emerald Isle. Here they stopped to lunch with Shirley McLane, who had returned to the land of her beloved Irish an- cestors. The next stop was in Ehgland where they had spot of tea with Prof, of Eng- lish literature, W. W. G. Goette at Oxford College. They flew over the channel and made their next stop at Paris, France so Mrs. Swenumson could get her hair set. The Swenumson's walked into the famous Le Jeune Fille Salon, run by none other than Jack Goehring and his wife, the former Verna Jean Sauer. Verna Jean fixed Mrs. Swenumson's hair while Jack was under the dryer set- ting the wave in his hair. When the job was finished the Swenumson's journeyed on to Berlin where they heard a concert by the famous soprano, Mme. Orlou Bigelow. After two weeks of sight-seeing in Europe and Asia, the Swenumsons were once more homeward bound. They were over the South Pacific for sometime without see- ing any land when Mrs. Swenumson spied a tiny strip of land with the binoculars, and told 0. S. to go down and take a look. As the gyro circled the islet, they saw a girl dressed in scanty rags madly waving at them, who was none other than Garnet Dobbs, who had had an unhappy love affair, and was now living alone away from civilization. The California coast soon came into sight, and here they decided to visit Hollywood. Touring through the different studios, the Swenumsons ran into the great movie producer, Mike Medbery. He took them into his office and was talking over the old basketball team with Mr. Swenumson, when Mike's great star, Miss Moore, (Joann, not Constance) came in. Mike invited the Swenumsons to the pre- mier of Joann's latest picture, My Heart Pants For You . Stepping into the next studio, they watched the shooting of Ice Capades of 1966 , starring Alta Krone, who had rocketed to stardom over night. Their last stop in California was at the Douglas Aircraft factory, where they were introduced to the manager of the plant, Harley Douglas. His ' private secretary turned out to be Dorothy Rinken, who was soon to become Mrs. Douglas. After a tour of the factory they got into their auto-gyro and started for home. As they flew over Montana they ran into a storm and had to land on a large field which turned out to be the ranch of Mr. and Mrs. Clement Sykora. Betty told Mrs. Swenumson that Clem and she had gone out there on their honeymoon and had never gone back to old B.V. After an enjoyable visit they started on the last lap of their journey. Upon reaching home they stopped in at the Dan Dee Food Market which Mary Lou Deyo was proprietor. They told her about her old classmates and then went home to get ready for another school year at the good old B.V.School. CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of Browns Valley High School, City of Browns Valle} County of Traverse, State of Minnesota, being of sound mind and memories, not acting under fraud or duress, do hereby maae and declare this to be our last will and testament. Alta Krone leaves her glorious singing voice to Beverly Oliver, and her nat- urally curly hair to Irma Goette, knowing that both girls can use them. Shirley McLane wills her Model T Ford to Irma Goette and Audrey Falkingham so they can have as much fun as she did and also to provide them with a means of getting to basketball games next year. She bequeaths her whispery and soft-toned voice to Delores Nigg. Bill Spotts wills to each of the lower Classmen, a portion of his brain to enable them to get as good marks as he. Audrey Peickert bequeaths her horn-rimmed glasses and her bundle of letters from Jerry Preston to Betty Lowry. Jack Goehring leaves his Monday morning head-aches, his ability to get to school late, and his skill in driving to Jerry Essner. Doryce Nelson wills the exotic spelling of her name, D-O-R-Y-C-E, to Jane Dew, in hopes that she will change hers to J-A-Y-N-N-E. Dorothy Rinken gives to Audrey Falxingham her uncanny ability to snag other girls' boy friends. Mike Medbery presents his mustache to Donald Gesterling on the condition that Don taxes good care ot it. He also leaves to Donald Gesterling, his basket- ball talents and captainship of the team. His attractions for blondes, he leaves to Jerry Essner. Orlou Bigelow bequeaths her gift of getting along with the teachers to Max- ine Andrews. Verna Jean Sauer leaves her gorgeous,long, red, hair and her brat personal- ity to dignified Anna Grimli. Mary Ann Roerig leaves her sleepy eyes, and her tall thinness to Marjorie Ziemer. However, her good times in Sisseton are to valuable, and Marjorie will have to do without them. Waldemar Goette wills his knowledge to the Whole' Junior Class. We're sure they'll need it. Mary Lou Deyo bequeaths her job at tne Dan Dee Food Market to Donald Gester- ling in hopes that it will leave him enough funds to entertain all his girl friends. Jack, Mixe, and Bill leave their collection of empty bottles to the Junior boys. Signed and sealed on this twenty-nineth day- of May, nineteen hundred and for ty-six. In witness thereof: Waldemar Goette, Verna Jean Sauer,and Mary Lou Deyo Hereby approved b4 : Bill Spotts, Class President} Verna Jean Sauer, Vice- President. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY It was on a sunny day in September 1942 that the Senior Class of 194-6 ent- ered the assembly of Browns Valley High. They were, at the time, twenty-eight of the greenest and most naive freshmen ever to enter the illustrious halls of learn ing. They were met by the curious Sophomores, the condescending Juniors, and the haughty Seniors. Six weeks after an apprehensive appearance, the Seniors gave us the Woiks . The halls were filled with shrieks of agony on Initiation Day. However, we live- ed through it and became full-fledged members of the high school. At our first class meeting we chose the following officers: (poor things) President, Martin Spotanske; secretary-treasurer, Joan Randall; with Mr. Swenumson as class advisor Our ranks were depleted when at the end of the year Gladys Arndt, Melvin Brynte- sen, Lamoine Ballhagen, Doris Essner, William Lord, Eugene Kennedy, Walter Pei- chowski, Eldon Rollins, Irene Striech, Martin Spotanke, and Donald Ward all left us. In the middle of the year Dorothy Rinken entered, giving our class a total of eighteen members. At the beginning of our Sophomore year Donna Klemn, raised our number to nineteen. Class officers were: President, Mary Lou Deyo; • Secretary—treasurer Mike Medbery. Miss Stellon honored us b„ being our advisor. Student Council re- presentatives were Orlou Bigelow and Garnett Dobbs, who were also two of the cheerleaders. Clem Sykora, Jack Goehring, ana Arving Phillips went out for foot ball, while Clem, Jack, Arving, and Mike Medbery sparked the basketball squad. Waitresses at the Junior-Senior Banquet were Mary Lou Deyo, Verna Jean Sauer. Shirley McLant, Dbrothy Rinken, Orlou Bigelow, and Garnett Dobbs. At the end of the term Joan Randall left to attend school at Graceville and Arving Phillips, at Wilmot. Our good luck charm (Julius 'Knute' Hedrick) entered school and we started our Junior year with eighteen members. Officers elected were: President, Bill Spotts; Vice-President Orlou Bigelow; and secretary-treasurer, Garnett Dobbs. Miss Swenumson was our advisor and directed our play,a mystery-melodrama entitled House of Strangeness . Those who took part were, Mary Lou, Audrey, Dorothy, Donna, Garnett, Orlou, Waldemar, Mixe, Bill, Jack, Clem, and Knute. On May 19 we were hosts to the Seniors and teachers at our annual banquet. It was held in the home economics room which was decorated to represent a Pirates Den . Mike, Clem, Knute, Jack, and Bill were our athletes in Basketball. Mike made the A team and helped to win the championship of Sub-district I. Members of the Stud- ent Council included Mary Lou Deyo, Mike Medbery, and Knute Hedrick. Knute Hed- rick(our good luck charm) and Milton Lubbers left us at the end of the year. Finally we slid into our Senior year. We elected Bill Spotts President, Verna Jean Sauer Vice-President, Alta Krone Secretary-treasurer, and Mr. Flanagan advisor. Orlou Bigelow, Garnett Dobbs, Mary Lou Deyo, Waldemar Goette, Mike Medbery Doryce Nelson, and Audrey Peickert were all that remained from the number now who had started together in the first grade of the Valley School. Student Council members were Waldemar Goette and Mary Lou Deyo. Orlou Bigelow was candidate for queen and was elected. Mary Lou Deyo, Orlou Bigelow, Audrey Peickert, and Dorothy Rinken took speech this year. Orlou and Audrey won in the local contest and went to the Sub-district. Mike and Clem wait out for basketball, both making the A team. The day the Seniors had been waiting for had finally arrived. On May 16 we had our skip day ana wentto Moorhead. We were entertained bj the Juniors at the Junior-Senior Banquet in the Big Top (Home Ec. Room). The year closed with Baccalaureate and Commencement. Baccalaureate was held on Sunday, May 26 and Commencement on May 29. Valedictorian was Waldemar Goette and Salutatory, Mary Lou Deyo. This brings us to the end of our career in Valley High School and we begin our journey through life.
