VV: Y MUSIC EVENTS FOR 1955 -1956 scHooL ymla The activities of the past year started with a very busy sum er parade and concert season. The first parade of the season was the Miss Minnesota Pageant in Austin. The band won a trophy as second prize in this parade. During June and July the band took part in parades at the G. M. Memorial Day Service, the State Lion's Convention, District Legion Convention, State !iremen's Convention, State Moose Convention, and the Blooming Prairie Soybean festival. Also during this time the regular Wednesday night concerts were held and exchange concerts were play- ed at Spring Valley and Bayfield. n July 19, the band held its first band picnic at the park in Bed Ying. In August the band marched at the State Legion Convention, the Mower County lair, the County lair at Rochester, and in two parades on Labor Day - one in Rochester and one in Brownsdale. The school year started with preparations for football season and on September QU, the band went to the Band Day football game at the U. of I. The annual magazine selling drive also took place ln September. Homecoming was held October lu, and the band put on an elaborate half-time show. Following this the band and chorus were kept busy preparing for the Christmas Concert on December 12. After vacation Ruth Collins, Carol Lockwood, and Ruth Neilson attended the Luther College Vocal Iestlval on January ll-12. The top magazine salesmen decided to see Cinnerama for their award trip on January 17. On lebruary 8-9, Luther College held another music festival this time for bands and G.M. was represented by Kathy Lauridsen and Donna Hoff. lebruary and March were spent in getting ready for the Easter vocal concert April 5, and the spring music contests, in which both the band and chorus received 'L' ratings. Due to a conflict with the Prom, neither group was able to go on to the regional. Kathy Lauridsen, Ruth Collins, and Art Hamilton got 'A' ratings in the district solo contest, and Tom Jacobson, Darlene Holland, like Wakefield, Joyce Russell, Carol Lockwood, and Gerry Seavey also took part, all getting 'B' ratings We were entertained during April by the Austin Jr. College chorus and the Winona !.C. swing band, The band presented its Spring Concert May 18 with Jr. band, Sr. band, and soloists. The school year closed with the chorus and the Jr. High Glee Club doing a fine Job of singing for commence- ment. Much credit is due Ruth Collins, Carol Lockwood, and Sharon Ankeny for their work as accompanists all through the year. N 5 , N, fi X, , E .-.1 LJ SQ A .

The students all had a joyous time running around town, eventually terminating at the football field. There the Freshmen were build- ing the bonfire and getting ready te throw the Le Roy dummy in. Down at the fire we had a few pep talks from mem- bers of the student body and various teachers and alumni. The cheerleaders headed the student body yells. We all were tired from running and yelling, se we turned in for the night hoping that our game and dance would be as success- ful as the snake dance and the pep fest had been. On Friday morning all the classes were busily working on their floats getting ready for the parade. The day was windy, nonetheless, the parade was a huge success. In the evening, at the half of the Homecoming game, the coronatlon took place. The king, Douglas Seavey, was crowned by the Student Council presl- dent, lla Lindelien. Then in turn Doug crowned Ruth Nielsen as the 1956 Home- coming queen. Queen B th's attendants were Sylvia Stier and Jeannine Olson. The king, queen, and attendants reigned over the Homecoming dance held at the school after the game. sim Q I fl ' uf! lg I U . 0.1 O 'S A X7 if Jw J x.,, 6 , 'A 9 9 1 I 11.14 YF ,TW iii sg Q Syst: fi! ggi fb if M-J Q X PROM and BA QUET M , ,f x On the evening of Nay 5, the Juniors en- tertained the Seniors at the Junior - Senior Banquet, followed by the Prom.

Knutson. It is the story of a railroad and similar to an old time melodrama movie. Prudence KDorothy Merkell and her mother, Mrs. Hopewelllbonnie Durhmanl hold the franchise to the Walker Valley, Pine Bush and Pacific Railroad which the villians, Simon Darkway QBerlyn Teigl and Dirk Sneath QRoger Lorsnzenj want to buy. When the Hope- vells' refuse to sell, the villians proceed with violence. The hero, Truman Pendennis Ularold Iuhnl tries to help but is deterred from his purpose by Carlotta CLois Kellsyi. Truman arrives in the 'nick of t1me', of course and with the help of Prudence, 'the railroad runs age.in'.

Mary, a former Iowan and very proud of her Iowan heritage, has stood up for her home state ever since she came to Minnesota in her sixth grade. She is an active member of the GAA, for she likes all types of 5Ports. Mary's home is at Ostrander but she liked Grand Meadow, so she stayed here in order to complete her schooling. Robert Edwin Berg Bob went to Grand Meadow school for twelve years. During high school he was one of the stars in basketball as well as football, and enjoys to play very much. He is a quiet guy in the class room. Only sneaks when he is spoken to. Carol Ann Bush Carol's friendliness at all times helped her to win many friends. She kept herself busy on class projects during her high school days, and is always ready to help someone if needed. She plans on taking up social work or nursing after school and we are sure she will do good. She is waiting now, for the day she will meet her 6'4W ideal man. William Charles Calkins William, more known as NB1l1y,' will be remembered for his neat appearance no matter how he was dressed. Bill has participated in football for four years. He enjoys dancing very much and is always ready to have loads of fun. We know he will have success in years to come. Carol Louise DeBoer It is not only Carol's red hair that wins her distinction, but the gracious manner in which she does things. When a task is given her she does it quickly and'accurat1y in her quiet way, She loves to read and prepare themes,essays, and the like. She also did a fine Job in the Jr. class play. Qs CLASS! loel lormen Dettloff lore known to soae as Woody. A quiet guy around school or at least untll you get to know him then he is full of fun. He imromo of our few basketball players who had the height. leel was also one of .the main characters in both the lr. and Jr. class plays and did a fine Job at both. lonnle Jean Durhnan 'always rarlng to go, is a good characteristic of Bonnie, and when she ls around it is always a Jolly time. She has proved to be one of the classes most capable and dependable workers. Have anything for sale? If Bonnie ls around you can rest as- sured that soon it will be sold. She llbes to argue and die- agree with the teachers, but of course, only ln fun. Lawrence Volney Truth Larry's pastime is sleeping and he spends a good deal of tile at lt. He has been in mixed chemo for all tour years of high school. If you see someone walking on the highway at anytime of the day or night it is probably Larry, for he gets to all social functions by walking. David Garlyn Gunderson 'Our boy Flat top. Always considerate of others no matter who they are, and has gotten along so well with everyone ln school. He was on our baseball team ever elnee he came to Grand Meadow from Preston. But this year, due to a 'little' accident was umble to pitch. He was also a star on the bashetball team. Ienne th V. Hamilton 'Xeno' was somewhat of a controversial figure while in high school--his classmates liked him better than his teachers did. H1e.teachers knew he was capable but kept waiting for him to give than some tangible evidence. I0 PI CTU!! AYAILLILI esc:sos Herbert Roger Heffern Has anyone seen 'Herb' or 'halthpint' around? These are only a couple of the many names for Roger. Roger 18 8 Vhil Bt sports of all sorts, and has enJoy6d participating in all of then. He has now completed his fourth year on the Student Council Richard W. Jacobson He has only two loves, his 1955 chevvy, and the 1956 Valediotorian. Donna Mae Jacobson Donna is an H-boib 'under wraps'---just test her under proper conditions. For example, here is a remark made by Donna near the end of her Senior year, 'l've been pretty good all year, I think I have the right to get out of school one afternoon.' Those yearbook ads almost got the best of her before she got the best of them. Mildred Elsie Jeck Although M1ldred's real home is ln Rochester, she has made a second heme here in Grand Meadow in order to 00hp10t0 h0P schooling. Mi1dred's favorite course was home ec, for she enjoys sewing, cooking and all types of needle work. After school she plans to be a telephone operator, that is, until the right man cones along.

Xerrins Jerry is an easy going guy who doesn't worry about anyone but himself. He is known to be the life of every party- H0 1' also good in sports, not only football and baseball but re- ceived the Sportsmanship trophy in boxing. Jerry enjoy! dancing, especially 'Vhoopee John' style. Harold Yilllan Kuhn 'Dip' was quite the attraction on the dance floor. He gave any a girl a whirl. Harold gave up a 'steady' affair in order to play the field. He was outstanding in vocal and instrumental music, athletics and in scholarship. James Kenneth Kvall Jim was very helpful for our class in the line of building. He has worked on almost all bf tho class prggecis. E0 il In oi guy and gets along with all. e a so s ver! :3bitfou:?thoughtfu1 and mannerly. With these characteristics we are sure Jin will have a successfull future. Roger Franklin Lorensen Roger. the sharp shooting boy of our class has won many honors for his keen eyes with a gun. Roger has participated in football, basketball and baseball. le has been a main character in both the Jr. and Sr. class plays. We know Roger will be a successful farmer as he is the III President this year. Dorothy Irene Merkel 'Her heart rules her head.' Dorothy came to Grand Meadow from Iowa during her eighth grade and now, graduat1ng,she recieved the highest honor--Valedictorian. In her years here, she has participated in many activities. She is alert and accomplishes things quickly and in an orderly way. She,be1ng tho first Senior wearing a riHG.fand not a class ringj we wish hor luck. ipsum H671 her' V s was l ps rf gfQsi Lmmi if Q Douglas lllls Seavey 'Skinner' had more than his share of headaches and stomachaches, possibly his romantic escapades were partly the cause. Doug was quite a 'Roneo.' Hs was also quite an athletic competitor. Joyce Marie Sears Joyce, a tall and attractive girl loves to cook and sew and during her hole ec classes has made some very stun- ning clothes. Joyce is another of the many Seniors who came from Iowa, and like most Iowans, still cherishes her native state. She enjoys singing in the mixed chorus which she has been ln for three years. Jeannine Beverly Olson Jeannine really nade work out of her research theme-she lost her first set of notes and had to begin again from scratch. Maybe she put her original notes in the folds of her 'squeeze box.' Many a youngster stands to benefit from Jeann1ne's instruction. B th Ann Nielsen Ruthie would literally 'bubble over.' She would flit her! and there like a humming bird gathering nectar. Her enthusiasm was without bounds. Her popularity was wide- spread as was evidenced by the fact that she was elected 1955 Homecoming Queen. Beverly Ann Nelson A quiet, unassuming girl with a very sweet personality is Bev. This year she was Grand Meadow Ihr: Bureau's cani- date for Dairy Princess of lower County. Beverly's smile has helped her win friends-no eneay does she have. Her very expressive eyes will tell how Beverly feels at the noaent. Her Prize Posssession-her many letters. Glenn lilllan Stien Glenn nlght be known as the class cowboy, for he loves the out-of-doors and horses. Therefore, he is a whiz at crack- ing a whip, lassoing, and riding. But at school he is no disturbance what so ever. 'You can't learn by talking, so I keep quiet.' He enjoys reading and often you will find him interested in a good mystery or a book about the out of doors. Sylvia Mae Stier 'Hey you gas, probably aeans that lyl has another Joke or wlse oraok that just 'has' to be told. Although she's a card at tiles she can really buckle down to business when necessary. She night be known as a leader. Syl has particl- pated in nany school activities--her naln reason--to neet people.

Llthougx he needs a little coaxing to get hln to help, he is always around if necessary. He sports a black Buick and usually has one, if not a group of guys with him. Berlyn Wesley tsig Berlyn had leading parts in both Jr. and Sr. class plays, and although they were altogether different characters, he did a fine Job ln portraying then. Besides acting he was one ofthe '56 football stars. Through the years, the class has been able to depend on Berlyn to get his share of the work done. Joyce Louise Veick 'I was helping non with the washlng.' is one of Joyoes favorite excuses for being absent fron school. But somehow she was able the keep her grades up. Being a good artist, Joyce has cer- tainly done her share on posters and play scenes. Always ready for fun and excitement--and aleost anything she does can get a good laugh. Mfalllllli lllblllllil Many, many years ago, six to be exact, we embarked on a Journey into the dark wilder- ness of 'higher educat1on'. The Journey was made in covered wagons bearing the name of each year e In the 'Sunrise Special' we entered Grand Meadow High School and became acquainted with its way of life. Mr. Slindee proved very helpful as our class advisor. Our next wagon was known as the 'Chuck Wagon'. It was during this year that several pioneers Joined us from country schools. Mr. Hennessy stood by to aid us in all of our problems The 'Coffee Breaker' carried us safely through the trails of initiation, to which we were subjected by the Sophomores. Tor this difficult expedition we had Mr. Slindee's careful guidance. Mr. Severin's watchful eyes saw us through the Sophomore year, traveling in the 'High loon'. It was during this year that we entered the social world of Grand Meadow High School. Members of our class served as waiters and waitresses for the Junior - Senior uet. Banq The next fall we boarded the fifth covered wagon in our high school careers, bearing the name of 'Sunset Coach'. Again Mr. Severin devoted his time and attention to our welfare. With Mrs. Gogate's assistance, we produced our Junior class play, 'I Remember Mama'. We gave a very beautiful banquet and prom for the seniors with the theme, 'Kentucky Gardens'. Tor the last time we changed wagons. Our last one being called 'Evening Star'. Mr, Hglland hglpgd us through all our Senior activities. This year it was Mr. Knutson :ho directed our senior class play, 'Love Rides The lalls'. This year we were guests at t e Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. A very beautiful theme, Stardust in Venice, made our happiness complete. Sylvia Stler began work on the annual and Dorothy Merkel edited the school paper - 'Larks Lingo'. On May 9, 1956 we took a detour to Chicago for our last adventure as a class. lach day we were nearing our destination feeling both happy and sad at the same time. Our hearts seemed to be too large for our chests and the sensation was so queer -- something we had never felt before. On May 20, 1956, came the impressive Baccalaureate service. Then at last, on May 25, 1956, we reached our final destination, graduation. Thus concluding a very eventful and enjoyable Journey through the once unknown. SENIUR PROPHECY Mary .....
