CLASS ? «OTTO Finished, Yet Beginning Burgundy and White CUSS FLOWER White Rose CUSS COLORS Class History After World War II, the world repaired and prepared itself for the coming generation. But we doubt if it ever prepared itself for the Senior Class of '66. We entered the world in the year of 1948, and we have been here ever since. We were forty-one in number when we entered our freshman year. Yvor.ne His gun joined our class then. Dale Eggers was our president, Mary Hansen our vice-president, and Connie Duffield our secretary-treasurer. Me lanie Schley represented us in the Student Council. Carol Rowland was chosen as our queen representative for the Carnival. For Homecoming, Jan Haugland and Dale Eggers represented us as attendants. In the fall of 1963, our class decreased to thirty-six after Ron Torgerson, Yvonne Hisgun, Silas Ortley, Marcie Schueller, and Alvin Bretzke left. It then increased by one when Janet Al- berts from Britton, South Dakota, joined us. In November Dale Eggers also left for Rosholt, South Dakota. For class officers we elected .Melanie Schley as president, Jerome Appel as vice, and Pat- ty Johnson as secretary-treasurer. We chose Christy Bailly and Jan Haugland to represent us in Student Council. Jan Haugland and Jerome Appel were our attendants for Homecoming. We could say that our junior year was our biggest year since we started school. That was the year that we sold magazines to help finance our Prom and Banquet, the year we put on our first play called Dino , which was directed by none other than Mr. Welch. It was the year that we ord- ered our class rings, the year Jan Haugland and Jerome Appel were selected to represent Browns Valley as Girl and Boy Staters, the year that we had Connie Duffield represent us in All-State Or- chestra as in previous year, the year we sponsored the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet with the theme Evening in Paris , and the year that we started to realize that our high school years were almost over and that it was time to plan for the future. Melanie Schley, Jan Haugland, and Connie Duffield were our class president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer, respectively. Jerome Appel and Jan Haugland were Homecoming attendants. Carol Rowland and Kiffy Anderson represented us in Student Council. Having lost one member of our class (Christy Bailly, who moved to Wheaton), v.e, the Seniors of 1966 calmly entered our last year of school. During our final year, Theresa Lureen left us, but we were joined by Tom and David Gibson of Willow River, Minnesota. The class officers were as follows: Richard Butala, president; Cheryl Haggerty, vice-president; Mary Hansen, secretary- treasurer. Jerome Appel was elected president of the Student Council, and Carol Rowland served as its secretary. Queen candidates for Homecoming were Julie Smith, Cheryl Haggerty, and Cindy Med- bery. King candidates were Philip Piechowski, Richard Butala, and David Miller. The student body of Browns Valley High School selected Cheryl as their queen and Doc as king. Jerome Appel was chosen for All-Conference football for the second time. On May 27, thirty-five Seniors sit up the stage--sad, yet happy; sorry, yet glad; nervous, yet calm. Most of all, they are satisfied that they have left behind the twelve best years of their lives. Because they leave high school does not mean that they are through. Quite the contrary! Now they shall strive to conquer what- ever goal is set for them. They are not only tomorrow’s leaders, but they are also today’s adults. 14

CLASS PROPHECY The setting for our prophecy is one of a chain of elaborately decorated eateries called Edith's Edibles. Edith Foren has built up this business from scratch after having bought what was formerly known as Dan's in Browns Valley, Vinn. She has hired one of the best known bands in the land to provide the entertainment. They travel from one restaurant to another, performing only as Lurch's Larks could! Jim Bierscnbach is the director and lead drummer for the rroup, which also incJudes Allen Eldridge Richard Lehrke, ’elanie Schley, and Julie Smith. Kathy Reed has just cone in and is pleasantly surprised by all of her forner classmates, who are having a •'arty for her. She is hone on a leave after re-enlisting for another tour of duty. She has made the ocean her life by becoming a V’.A.V.L. Cary Klern and Clenn filler, cc-cvT.ers of the V.’hite Earle Night Club in a neighboring town are here, as well as Chevrolet Votor Co. executive, Richard Butala and Dave Yosberp, noi. a wrest- ling coach at the University of Minnesota. Don Andrews, a big game hunter in Africa, shows up long enough to greet everyone and talk to Philip Tiechowski, a professor of psychiatry. Don would like to know how to hypnotize some of those aninals so they wouldn't be so hard to get. Sitting at a table on one side, are Kenny Vollners, test driver for Harley Davidson ‘ tor- cycle Co., and Richard Johnson, stock car driver. They are telling Darlene Reed and Janet Alberts how NOT to drive. “Terry Kallstron, who finally became a biologist, is still laughing about a joke that someone told him on graduation day. He never forgets things like that. Karen Roark's plane from Washington was a little late; she had some last-minute dictation to take and no one, not even his private secretary, tries to hurry the President of the United States. Joan Byman and Cheryl Haggerty are now performing for us -- their latest ballet routine is out of this world. The turkey which we are being served was donated by Alice Kallstrom.'s turkey farm. Coring over to wait on us is Yvonne Hoffman. She fills us in on all of the latest information about sore of the others. Ke learn that Vary Hansen has been promoted to editor of the f’inneapolis Star and Tribune, and that Dave Tiller has opened his own beauty salon -- for ren only. She also tells us that Tom and Dave Gibson have now completed their latest real estate transaction, which means they are now farming the whole state of South Dakota. Jerome Appl only has tine to come in for something to eat, as he runs the service station across the street. He says his station is open all night for people who run out of gas. The former Carol Rowland is busy showing everyone pictures of her family, all brunettes and red-heads! Right now she's showing then to Cindy Yedbery and Patty Johnson. They are operating their own nursing home -- a beautiful place overlooking the Valley. Since salesmen rake this their regular place to eat, Jan Haugland is trying to sell Carol Foster the latest in Fords — without a muffler. Carol says that she is more interested in a Vustang right now to cover her Texas ranch with. Overhearing this, Connie Duffield says she would like a ustang too -- the four-legged kind -- to add to her growing herd at Puffield's • ony Farm, Oh, here comes Xiffy, sometimes known as Sniffy, Anderson. He has just received a promotion to chief sniffer at the Limburger Cheese Factory in Sisseton. After having a gala evening, reminiscing and remembering the good old days' , the party must core to a close with each ore going his own way and hoping tc meet again. 16
