Some of our parents knew the Fosston of yesterday - we know the Fosston of today - but no one knows the Fosston of tomorrow ..., To. the students who in the future years will carry on the traditions of our school and help to keep its place of distinction among educational institutions - to those students we respectfully dedicate the Talis- man of 1948. This year the Talisman staff has worked hard to put out the biggest and best annual so far. VVe're trusting that it will live up, more than ever before, to its true meaning, a charm. We hope that as you read this annual you will get a better inside story of life at good old Fosston High. Page 4 Left to right: T. H. Megorden, W. Schon, M. Hillestad, A. K. Magelssen, H. Johnson, M.

The Greyhounds this year played mostly out of the T formation. The team was as heavy as most of their opponents, but didn't play the consistent ball that is necessary to winning games. The Grey- hounds lost the first four games. Then they tied Warren. A pass from Knudson to Nienaber ac- counted for Fosston's , touchdown. The top performance of the year was against Red Lake Falls. Trailing 7-6 at halftime, a deter- mined Fosston team scored in the last four min- utes on a pass from Orley Bakken to Allen Erick- son. The iinal score was 13-7. Eastlund and Norgaard played an outstanding game on the line. The Greyhounds then went down to Mc- Intosh to beat the Cardinals 19-7. Donald Bak- ken, this year's captain, scored all touchdowns for Fosston. They closed the season with two close losses and a tie, losing to Bagley 19-13 and McIntosh 14-12, and tying the Crookston.Aggies 0-0.

Returning lettermen were Captain Richard Wynne, Glenn Whaley, Donald Bakken, Iames Mittun, Alvin Hagen, Iames Wogsland, and Charles Larson. The center position was filled by Iames Mittun and Alvin Hagen. The forward positions were held by Whaley and Larson with Allen Erick- son and Wogsland also starting many of the games.

During the year a Christmas concert and a spring concert were given, appear- ances were also made at spring festivals. In the fall Miss Hole tried out various voices in order to organize small groups. Sonic of these were the boys' octette, senior girls' trio, and the girls' sextette. These groups took part in many social functions and also appeared in the spring festivals. Officers for the year were: President . . . . .,.,. Bill Krohg Recorder . . ..

May every thought and deed be given To this our school so Hneg For in our hearts dear memories Will deepest hopes enshrine. And as our team lights bravely on With courage and spirit new, We all with ringing cheers will be To our dear Alma Mater true. So may our song down through the years AHirrn our loyalty. This lasting light gleams gently on Our faith and love for thee. Minneapolis born, Truman Rickard, the composer of our beautiful Alma Mater, attended the old East High and then graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1904. Twenty years later he wrote the inspiring t'Minncsota, Hail to Thee, which is now the official state song. Two 1942 Fosston graduates, Ann Oien and Sue Olson, presented him with the words for a school song to which he wrote the lovely music. Mr. Harris arranged it for band and Miss Hole has arranged it for chorus. Page 40 Flrsi raw, Isl! to right: W. Rambol, Il. Halliday, Min Arla, E. Euilund. R. Larson, 0 Bnkken Second row: G.

As time went by students and teachers became accustomed to the regular routine. Our football team started the season on the l2th with a loss to Crookston. oanne Wynne reigned as homecoming queen on the 26t . Evergone enjoyed the three plays presented by the University layers. OCTOBER As the month of witches and black cats rolled around an evening program was plresented by Emil Liers and his tame otters. Football was t e reigning sport of the evening. NOVEMBER Harry VVhite visited Fosston with an interesting and in- formative lecture on minerals. A highli ht of the season was a basket social given to raise money Ear band uniforms. Bolts and Nuts was presented by the junior class on the 14th. The basketball season opened with a BANG!!! as we de- feated Ada. All were so sorry to see the doors of F.H.S. close for Thanksgiving. DECEMBER Back to school after a lon weekend to see the Cole Marionettes on the 10th. Botl? grade and high schools en- joyed the play they presented. The 17th saw the annual performance of the Christmas concert. For days afterward people could be heard gaily singing We Wish You a Merry Christmas. It was a merry day indeed on the 19th as the junior High School English department presented A Son Is Born. This was followed by class parties. Everyone said good-bye to the school for two weeks. JANUARY Did you see all the ha py faces on the Sth? Well, no, neither did I - it was badlc to school again. The basketball boys were lucky as they had a chance to go to Minneapolis, On the 29th a program was given in the auditorium for the March of Dimes at which time students and faculty con- tributed toward the campaign. Page 50 FEBRUARY . On February l the coaches in the district played a benefit basketball ame for the March of Dimes. Even though the south sub-district won, a member of the north got most of the applause. Mr. Bohnsack was the favorite o the crowd seeing it was com rised mostly of Fosstonites. Fosston fans were disappointedn when they were unable to see Coach Seebach play because of illness. The sub-district tournament was held in our gym the 26th through the 28th. MARCH With the district tournament on the 4th and Sth and the state tournament March 18-19-20 the basketball season drew to a close. Those long awaited band uniforms arrived. Everyone had spring fever and welcomed the arrival of Easter vacation. APRIL That vacation just wasn't long enough to cure the spring fever and time slowly passed he ped a ong by the Regiona Speech contest and the district music festival. MAY ln the very merry month of May -that month we seniors have been waiting for - the senior class play was given on Rural Day. Regional music festivals were held this month also. This was a busy month for us what with Class Day, class picnics, and practicing for Baccalaureate and Com- mencement. The juniors feted the graduates at the annual Iunior-Senior prom and so another group of seniors bade farewell to Fosston High School and embarked on life's wide sea.

Page 55 '7!w8'pfwz'm The snow fell deep in the evening, The trees were covered by dawng And the ground like a blanket of feathers Lay still 'round the sleeping town. The trees and the bushes were bending Witlr the load of fallen snowg And the lakes and the ponds were frozen, And the river no more could flow. So the winter came in the evening VVhen the fall was at the bendg And the earth would be covered with snowdrifts Till this season should come to an end. The above poem was written by Leona Solie as a tenth grade English assigmnent. She rewrote it last year for a local poetry contest in which it received a second place rating. As an award she was given a Certihcate of Acceptance and an anthol- ogy of the best poems entered in the National High School Poetry Contest. Page 56 v May 28, 1958 Dear Diary, As I had finished my engagement at the Roxy Theater I decided that I had better return to Hollywood and start reading the script for my new picture, I hailed a taxi and found that I had company for my trip to the station. It was MARION WATNEMO, still seeking employment. All of a sudden I noticed that our driver was none other than DONALD KLASSE. We passed Garb's Theatre operated by DONALD BUNESS where the picture f'Road to Fer- gus starring BILL KROHG, successor to Bing, was running. Right around the corner is the famous New York Cathedral where HOVVARD MEGORDEN is sexton. When we finally got to the railway station I bought my ticket from ORLEY BAKKEN, the ticket agent. As the .train was about to leave and red cap ELMER NOTVEDT brought my bag- gage, I fell prey to the ace reporter, CONNIE LAVOL she had been trying to get an interview for the New York Times the entire time I was on Broadway. It was time for dinner when the train pulled out so I made my way to the diner where I was fortunate to find the former MAUREEN LUB KEN seated alone at a table. She was on her way to meet hubby Ted. Who should be our waitress but neat, efficient MAVIS SHEGGRUD! Fatigued, I retired to my drawing room where I spent the remainder of the trip. When the train reached Chicago I went in search of a good restaurant. On the way I met Dr. ROGER LARSON, noted physician, but he was on his way to an operation and couldn't stop to talk. He recommended an exclusive Russian Cafe operated by EUGENE EASTLUND. Russian ballads were sung by the guest star, ALICE PETERSON. Later in the evening I went to the Stevens Hotel and spent an enjoyable evening with the owners, CHARLOTTE THOMPSON and MARGARET TANGEN. May 29, 1958 Still in bed at 10 o'cl0ck I was awakened by a clamor of women's voices in the hall. To me, it sounded like about ten people, but when I opened the door I saw only two, MARILYN HUSBY and NORMA CLEMENTSON, who are employed as stenographers at the Exquisite Fashion Company owned by ELEANOR LANDSVERK. They invited me to a cocktail party to be held at 3 o'clock this afternoon at Orland's Lounge, owned and operated by ORLAND IOHNSON. After they left I took to ALPHA'S Beauty Shoppe to have my face lifted. I hurried over to the cocktail party where I met many of my old friends among whom were: FRANCES BURT and MARY ANN CARLSTROM now top-ranking MELGREN models, THERESA LAVOI and IUNE LINDAU, fellow movie stars, and LEONA SOLIE, a beautiful model for hair ads. Page 58 AM May 30, 1958 After spending the day in Chicago I decided to take a plane as far as Reno where I want to take a rest. I made a reservation on ARTHUR VIG'S plane. lust before taking off the stewardess came to check the safety belts. To my surprise it was MARDELLA LEIKNESS. When the plane landed a crowd of autograph seekers rushed towards me. I recognized DELO- RES and IDELLA ROTNESS, FERN WAHLIN, HARRIET VOLDEN, BLANCH LEITE, and EMMA PEARSON. As I was walking down First Street, I met MARILYN ERICKSON and ELLEN HALLIDAY, osom buddies in the divorce court. They asked me to have dinner with them at the Taboo Club. To my astonishment, GLEN FISHBECK and his three piece orchestra with CAROL HALVOR- SON as soloist had top billing on the floor show. june 1, 1958. The first stop this morning was at GLENN WHALEY'S drugstore for aspirin. When I returned I asked the desk clerk, MARLYS TORGRIMSON, to send a public secretary to my room. When MARILYN IOHNSON arrived I dictated a letter to NORMAN NESET, the Los Angeles artist who is going to paint my portrait next fall. Incidentally, ROYCE NORGAARD is dishwasher at this hotel, , At ll, I left for Hollywood on CHARLES VIG'S bus. MARGARET NORSTUEN, SHIR- LEY OLSON, and ELAINE PETERSON, school teachers headed for their summer vacation, were also on the bus. We had a long visit talking over old times. At 2:30 p.m. we arrived in Hollywood. CURTIS PAULSON, the window-washer and grease- monkey, brought my Buick to me from the Chevrolet garage owned by DICK WYNNE. When I reached home I was met by my weeping housekeeper, PRISCILLA LUBKEN, with the news that my dog 'fSmoochie was ill. I ordered my maid, MARY ANN LINDFORS, to call a veterinarian. We waited nervously for what seemed like hours when at last Dr. DONALD THORVALD BAKKEN accompanied by his nurse NORMA MAE RUNDELL, finally arrived. After a hasty examination he assured me that there was nothing to worry about and the dog would recover. After dinner I went to look at Smoochie and found him dead. Heartbroken, I called the undertaker, WALLACE RUTKOWSKI. Iune 2, 1958. We buried poor 4'Smoochie this morning. IRENE BERGLUND, my hair-dresser, BERNICE NOREM, my cosmeticiang THELMA BORUD, social secretary, and MARCELLA BLOOMST, my cook were as sorrowful as I was at the loss of our dear pet. After such a trying day I must retire.. . . ' Good night, dear diary, HELEN MAE LARSON. Page 60 The fashion show given by the men of the faculty. David Carlin playing against Erskine.

Laugh and the teacher laughs with you, Laugh and you laugh alone, The Hrst when the ioke's the teacher's, The second when the joke's your own. All the naughty teachers ln this mighty land Make poor seniors hustle 'round And work to beat the band. To Hunk or not to fiunk, that is the question, Whether 'tis better for the mind to suhter The ton ue lashings of outrageous teachers, Or to taie up regular habits of study, And by cramming end them. To grind, to cram No more, and by a grind to find we end Instructors' scoldings and a thousand various jibes A i'lunker's heir tog 'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished. To cram, to grind, To grind, perchance yet fail, aye, there's the rub, For in the last exam what questioning may come, When we have shuffled up the winding stairs, Must give us pause.
