What a year . . . our class has worked to one end, the junior-Senior Prom and Banquet. We breezed into our junior year by sponsoring the winning candidate in the Homecoming Celebration. A quick look in our Treasury revealed that it was mighty low and so, racking our brains for new ideas to hll the mint, we used our super-salesmfanship and ingenuity to sell basketball pencils and autograph books . . . one look at our bulging balance proved the fact that we had pulled our Treasury on its feet again. Still not satisfied we ventured further into the financial field which included pop corn selling, and a very successful bake sale. Let us not forget our trials and tribulations over the school paper, deadlines to meet, inky noses, advisors' threats, gossip column cut up by censor's scissors, and last minute corrections till at last Papers Out! Along toward the middle of the year our energetic, athletic girls coped with the Seniors and the Sophomores to come up with the much-prized basketball trophy. After a heated discussion and a few ruffled tempers the class chose the comedy play, Here Comes Charlie, well-fitted to our class and designed to give our still insecure financial position the push to put on the Prom and Banquet. On the nights of the twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth of April, we presented the junior Class play- Here Comes Charlie. judging from the reaction of the audience and the ringing of the till, the play was a minor success. The goal toward which we had all been working came on May fifth when the Junior Senior Banquet was given. The banquet was a typical junior venture, all in all being a tremendous success. Following came the Prom on the tenth of May. Vfhat a brilliant show of splendor. The juniors really proved their worth in this undertaking. The gym was decorated exactly the way any junior would be proud to know was our Prom. Following this we could relax and look forward to being Seniors and putting out the Annual. N. 3 ' ' an-wav i.

PRUPHECY The year is 1962, The Grand Marais class of 1952 is holding its reunion in the new Grand Marais High School. This was the last class to graduate from the old school down town, so it marks an important day for the class of 1952. As we walk into the large auditorium, we see some of our classmates already here. There is JIM the corner. He has a repu- late for anything. He really the world. In the past ten BLACKXWELL over in tation for never being worked himself up in years, he has become a millionaire executive. JEROME BRANDT has come down out of the woods for this big occasion. He is the owner of the Brandt Fur Market. With him is his assist- ant, JOHN SCHUPPEL, who knows all about trapping and hunting. Vile see JACK NYLUND and DICK BERG- LUND, ace detectives, enter the door. They saved their money for ten years to buy themselves a little gun and shoulder holster, Wfith them is their private secretary, SHIRLEY HENDRICKSON. I hear that she earns quite a bit of money in the detective business. Here comes another early bird. DIANE JOHN- SON is merchandiser for a big dress firm in Florida. Right behind her is CAROL OLSON, who is a famous dress designer. Both are dressed to the height of fashion. Now the nurses are entering in a group. They are: GLADYS NELSON, FLORENCE XWILLIAM- SON, JO ANN BRAZELL, ELIZABETH BACK- LLTND, BETTY JANE BACKLUND. and SONJA JENTOFT. They have all become full-fledged members of the Bed Pan Brigade. It took them ten years to obtain this high honor. Gladys is soon to become the wife of an Isle Royale fisherman, so will quit the nursing profession. Jo Ann is still going with a sailor, yust as she was back in 1952. Even though the weather is fine. VIRGINIA NELSON walks in wearing ski-togs. She just flew in for the reunion from Sun Valley where she is employed as ski-bum. NEIL McGIVERIN just came in the door. He is an instructor on square dancing in the thriv- ing metropolis of Beaver Bay. GLADYS CREECH, who is the commercial teacher in the new school, is coming in the door. I believe she left her husband at home with the twelve children. In 1952, l.er husband was in the Navy. With Gladys is DELORES CROFT, who teaches the first grade in the new school. You would be amazed at how much Delores has grown in the past ten years. She has now obtained the height of five feet, eight inches. GERRY NELSON and CHARLES BACKLUND are now entering. Gerry repairs all the television sets for the new school, and Charles is the master plumber. They came in their work clothes. BOB SUTHERLAND just slinked in the door. I hear from reports that he married a whale of a woman, and now is the most henpecl-:ed man in town. I7 What are all these children doing here? Oh, they must belong to MELVA SMITH. Her husband is out playing basketball, so she had to bring them with her. Here come two men in uniform. My goodness! It is JIM HILL and GERALD PEDERSEN. I hear by the grapevine that they have remained buck privates for the past ten years. PALMER BERGLLTND, of the Berglund Truckers just came in. It is hard to get him away from that new truck of his. He is walking over toward the darkest corner. What is he doing! Just like old times, he leans on a desk and falls asleep. JOE JOHNSON, in his Captain's uniform, iust came in. He has been working on the Great Lakes since the St. Lawrcnce Seaway came in. We see he is chewing a match as usual. SHARON PETERSON, the world famous traveler has gust returned from her tour of Africa where she collected many specimens which she has agreed to display at the meeting. Her safari party was made up of members of the 1952 Finland Air Base. BEATRICE JOHNSON, who teaches Beaver Bay, just tip-toes in the door. She has been ballet in teaching ballet and tap dancing for the past ten years. JIM WALKER gust flounced in. As usual, he heads for the corner where Florence is standing. Jim is now a mechanic for the taconite plant in Beaver Bay. JOE HUSSEY, the famous basketball 1952, is now a well known lawyer. Joe still isn't married, and we are beginning to wonder if he ever will. RONALD OLSON just flew in from his re- sort in Alaska. He went up there originally for a vacation, but had so much fun hunting and fishing that he decided to stay and open a resort. After the reunion, many of the group are flying up to his resort for a vacation. GLENN CLEMONS, who is a mechanic in the Army, lust came in wearing his uniform of a certainly worked himself up in a player of General. He hurry. Maybe he has a girl waiting for him. DONALD took over his lionaire. The LINDQLTIST is now entering. He service station and now is a mil- gas station really paid off, I hear. Here comes a lumberiack. My goodness! I didn't recognize GERALD PARENT behind that beard. He looks like he hasnt shaved for the past ten years. Here comes Kate. nine years, KATHY gre-e in Psychography the Swish-Swish Soap bing demonstrator. This brings to a close the reunion of the Class of 1952. It appears that the thirty-five seniors of 1952 have done quite well for themselves. As we leave them, they are busy planning another re- union for the year 1972. After going to school for KENNA received her de- and is now employed with Company as a floor scrub-
