last Summer The girls were not outdone in unusual occupations. Shirley Gibbery was a copy girl at the Duluth Herald, and Mardelle Sorum taught accordion. Dorothy George was probably the only girl who had a paper route. Shirley Fistier and June Ely were bus girls at a local hotel. Pat DeWees and Verona Boehm picked berries, while Margaret Rickey, Virginia Horrocks, Margaret Bloomquist, Louise Friedman, and Marilyn Vedder packed, cleaned, and hulled them. Sally Michel, Sylvia Bloom, and Virginia Morris were book- menders. Several ambitious boys held more than one posi- tion. Ed Swanstrom transported cars, stoked coal, and was bellboy at Hotel Duluth. Harry Eelkema farmed, chauffeured, and worked in a defense plant and a grocery store. Directly connected with war work were the twenty- five boys in defense plants, twenty-seven on the rail- roads, and eighteen coal passers and deckhands on the boats. Russell Moore and Jerry Broman worked in the mines on the Range, and nine boys were in construction work. Twenty boys did farm work, and ten girls ioined the Women's Land Army and got their pictures in Life magazine. ln still another way, others did their part, as Norma Johnson and Lona Mae Jeronimous were volunteers in the Office of Civilian Defense, Mardelle Anderson, Mae Tenburg, Mary Lou Bullard, Donna M. Peterson, and Donna Stillwell were nurses' aides, and Don R. Johnson was an orderly in a local hospital. Yes, brother, we had a busy summer! The bashtul, blushing, cowhand, Dick Brown, tenderly carresses his friend the horse. Dick was a cowboy in Montana . . . Now we know what besides the bears were out at Yellowstone Park this summer: Barb Lee and Dode McLeod . . . Yes, this is Eric Sanden, our latest authority on the whims and ways of a cow. Eric worked on a farm in Connecticut. 1 i J 1 - it Fore! Caddies like Beatrice Johnson, Anne Arnold, and Virginia Horrccks made golf a popular game this summer...
