The Curious Savage is the delightful story of Hrs. Savage and her friends in nThe Cloistersn, a home for people who are not quite balanced yet are not to be considered crazy. Hrs. Savage is a very happy-go-lucky person who is the owner of a vast estate. Her children, Titus, Samuel, and Lily Belle, are supposedly sane, but actually the inmates of 'The Cloistere', Jeff, Fairy Mae, Mrs. Paddy, Hannibal, and Florence, are more sane than they are. Cf course such a large sum of money brings about a crisis involving a teddy bear and a fire in Mrs. Paddy's bathtub. All these problmns, however, lead to a very happy ending, show- ing the inmates as they believe they actually are. IUNIOR-SENIOR PROM AND BANQUET PROM TROPICANA On this gay and festive evening, at 6:30, the juniors and seniors presented them- selves in gay attire at the banquet. Everyone enjoyed the love- ly dinner served by the wait- resses and waiters. The juniors presented every- one with colorful leis and program cards. After the banquet, Dick Grathwohl gave the Junior Welcome to which lla Lin- delien gave the Senior Re- sponse. Kathy Lauridsen read the Senior Prophecy and Becky Michaelsen read the Senior Class Will. After a short inter- mission, the dance began with the music of Roy Sher- iden. A very lovely even- ing was enjoyed by all. Thank you, juniors, for a good dinner, an enjoyable dance, and the beautiful decorations. QQ T C.

Her Homecoming Queen's crown is the symbol of her wide- spread popularity. Always active in school activities Iavonne has been a cheerleader for four years. Vonnie was alw ys the silliest when she got tiredg just ask anyone who was at a slumber party with her. Dixie Lee Benson Whenever the girls get together for a basketball bout, you can count on Dixie being right in the middle of things. Dixie was always ready for a good time, but her seriousness won her the right to go to Girl's State and the presidency of the Student Council. Lester Herman B rings Better known as Iss, you can be sure that whenever he was around someone was being teased, especially if that someone was a girl. Wonder where Les spent his evenings while in high school? He must have gotten in quite late because by the tim English class rolled around he was pretty sleepyg Mr. Knutson will vouch for that. Joan Katherine Calkins Thero's never a dull moment when Josie's around. Whenever the red and white Ford goes by, you can be sure it's packed full of kids having a good time with Jo in the pilot's seat. There has been ample op- portunity to hear Joan's laugh, for no matter how 2 dry the joke, she's sure to give it her due appreciation Marlys Charlene Clark Whenever things get boring, you can count on Marlys to liven up the situation with her well-known giggle. Marlys' love of music is expressed through her ac- cordian. All her practicing has really made her an expert. Ruth Roberta Collins If it's anything to do with music, Ruth can be counted on to lend her talent on the piano. Huth's black, wavy hair and sparkling brown eyes helped her in be- coming a Homecoming attendant. Ruth was sure to be enrolled in each and every science course as she hopes to become a nurse someday. Robert Duane Ewing Better known as Huey, he decided to stay in Grand Mea- dow to finish high school although his folks moved to Iowa. Robert is one of the many fellows in the senior class who drives a souped-up Ford. Robert greatly enjoys teasing someone or playing a practi- cal joke. Mavis Ann Fruth Mavis' schoolwork was always the m st important thing to her. She really has outstanding ability in business courses, which will aid her in becoming a good secretary. The yearbook staff could always depend on her to finish up all the odds and ends of advertising. Larry Travis Glynn 'Live fast, love hard, and die young' about sums up the character of Larry. Larry has been attending the Navy Reserves during summer months, so his immediate future is all cut out for him. A wise- crack at a serious m ment is very typical of Larry. Lang .1 Jeanette Elaine Grams Host people would think of Jeanette as one of the more serious senior girls owing to the fact that her work is always done neatly and correctly. Jeanette should 't have any trouble finding secretarial work when she graduatesg she has had lots of experience being the class secretary. Robert Otto Grathwohl For a boy, Bob is very active in school organizations He is one of Grand Meadow's star basketball players who musical ability enabled him to play in the newlyb organized dance band. Bob can be counted on to come through with a wise crack whenever there is a lull in the conversation. Robert Wayne Guy Bob is another one of those senior boys who are great Ford fans. Better kno n as Spark, he's al- ways there whenever there is a 'drag.N like most of the Ford fans, Spark has had to replace a few of the essential parts of his car. Audrey Mae Iverson Although Audrey is very quiet, she is always ready to do her share of work for the class. Audrey has always been kno n for her neatlyhkept, long black hair. She must like little children, because she always seems to have some with her, David Adolph Iverson Every school joke seems to fall on Dave's shoulders, but he laughs as hard as anyone else. Dave has al- ways been a good football player and basketball mana- ger. Dave will be long remembered for his quiet manner. ff a is 'lt5?SifZiffgEgQ5fggg fy Q: .. gm., -I 'sv 1 if -v on W ewkigggg ,H can , r . ,x -,Eggs V ,fwivg , 1 9 Q 4 , f f . V If D yi, g c,.

He also enjoys music, which is shown by his participation in band, chorus, dance band, and as an instrumental solist. His popularity is shown throughout his high school years by being attendent to the Homecoming king. Ila Faye Lindelien A very active student, Ila has been on the student council for several years. She also made a very good class president. nGst your dues inn will al- ways be remembered by the seniors as a pet phrase of I1a's. Michael Louis Loebig Mike is well-known for his blush, and has been known to display it on several occasions. Mike's quick wit is a big asset and is sure to draw a laugh from everyone. Mike is noted for his neat appearance. Margaret Ann Merkel You hardly ever see Margaret without a smile on her face. Her friends all call her Muggs. With Margaret in the crowd there is never a dull moment. Her laugh always adds a little spark to the atmosphere. Whenever there is work to be done, Muggs is always ready to do her share, Her fun comes after her work is done. Rebecca Ann Michaelsen Becky has always been our class artist. Whenever there are posters or crowns to make, Becky is elected to do it. She has been very active in all musical activities. A favorite expression of her's is Let ' s Dance . Everett Earl Miller Everett is a very shy person and blushes very much when teased. He is well liked by his fellow classmates and can be depended upson to carry his share of all class projects. F.F.A. is a big part of his extra- curricular work. Callie Rose Milner A quiet girl on the surfaceg Callie has a good sense of humor. Although she is very active in school pro- jects, Callie still finds time to study and sew. Jay Robert Milner It was always nice to have Jay around when the gym ceiling had to be decorated. He seems to be quite at home high in the rafters. Jay appears to every- one to be cheerful and easy-going. Truman Albert Olson Although Truman is very bashful, he is very depend- able when the class undertakes a new project. Tru- man is well-known for his mannerly ways. Claron LaVern Ottman Claron will always be remembered for his pleasing personality and sense of humor. Claron was always ambitious and willing to lend a helping hand. Robert Allen Peterson Robert is one of the more quiet serious boys in class, but this is not necessarily so outside of class. Robert, too, has been attending Navy Reserves during Summer' months. Robert has always been helpful as a stagehand during class play practice as well as on opening night. Kenneth William Rieken One of the more popular boys in the senior class, Ken was captain of both the football and basketball teams. Kenny's likable manners and pleasant personality won him the title of 1956 Homecoming King. Joyce Lee Russell Joyce joined our class during our junior year. She has been quite active in chorus and vocal solos. Joyce, or Russ as she is known as, is one who voices her opinion and sticks up for her rights. She has many original ideas that are very useful. Eugene Sidney Schwemmer Eugene, or Emil, a favorite nickname, will certainly be remembered for his work with the violin during senior class play practice. Eugene appears to be very quiet, but those who know him well realize that looks really are deceiving. Geraldine Kaye Seavey Gerry should have lots of experience when she gets married, thanks to all the baby-sitting during her school days. Gerry was always nice to have around at concert time to sing a solo in her beautiful so- prano voice. Although Gerry has her serious side, she loves to dance and have a good time with the Sang- ., ,gi 1 . W K ' , innate. -u ufa::fs1w f so K esvmf:-was K weasel ge Se1x-:Je Larry Neil Smith With all the Larrys in the senior class, everyone seems to prefer to call Larry merely Smith to aviod confusion. Everyone has noticed the change in Larry during his last year of school. He has taken a big interest in all social events. Larry is always willing to promote any and all class projects. James Edward Smrkovski A very studious lad he is. Jim was the first Boy's State delegate from this school. If you hear someone babbling in the halls in a foreign language, it is Jim practicing. Jim has been studying foreign languages during his spare time. All his work has paid offg Jim is the 1957 Valedictorian. James Elvin Stiles 'Anything with a beat , suits Jim very well. Jim loves music and plays a mean drum in the dance band. Jim is one of Grand Meadows star stheletes, also. Everyone will remember what a good job Jim did in the senior class play. Darwin Clarence Sween Although Dar has his serious moments, he will be remembered mostly for his wisecracks and sense of humor. Darwin engoys participating in both music and atheletic activities. Larry Douglas Wyatt Larry first came to Grand Meadow during his junior year, then moved to Algona, Iowa, and returned to finish his senior year here in Grand Meadow. The other seniors were very glad to. have Larry back with them to enjoy the rest of their school days. Larry seems very bashful but actually isn't so bashful as he appears. SENIOR CLASS WILL Every year there comes a time when suddenly the seniors become very generous and decide to will some little momento to some poor, unsuspecting junior. This year lla starts the ball rolling by giving her persuasive ways to Mike Wakefield in hopes that he will be able to get his cows milked in time for play practice next year. It seems that this year play practice was delayed every night because of those darned cows. gig Smrkovski wills his geometry book to Faith Kried so she can how far it is to the west side of town. figure out Jeanette Grams, in behalf of the entire senior class, decided to will the senior class debts to Norma Peterson in hopes that the juniors will gain a deeper appreciation of their upperclassmen. LaVonne Anderson very reluctantly passes her Physics book on to will take it, and her Homecoming crown to some lucky junior girl. Q29 Grathwohl wills his bookkeeping text to gl Durhman in hopes make better use of it. CLike making paper airplanes instead of spit the pages., Lgster Burigga generously gives his love for the play nMacbethn Iverson in hopes that he will gain a deeper appreciation of English. anyone who that he will wads from to Ronnie Ruth Collins wills her piano playing in chorus to Dick Grathwohl to keep him from singing. Darwin Sween donates his report card tc Faye Kried to help her get on the honor roll next year. Geraldine Seavey wills her singing ability to Cleo Anderson so she'll have something to do if the radio goes bad in the station wagon. Callie Milner wills her promptness to Ronnie Wyatt in hopes that he will never be late to school. Everett Millgg wills his quiet ways to Qtag Kirchner down so much in Mr. Hennessey's study hall. Qgag Calkins wills her brown eyes to gobggt Esigg to 25531 Qlynn gives his tattoos and uniforms to Lingeg set for the Navy. so he won't get called flirt with. Berning so he will be all gggggy Iverson wills her wavy hair to Kathy Lauridsen to give Dale a change of scenery. 292 Jacobson wills his roving eyes to Ellen gggg in hopes that she will catch Claron's eye. Margaret Eggkgl wills her 2932 ways to Lglang Alger to strengthen Minnesota and keep it marching on. Egbert Ewing wills his speedmobile to QQESEUEQEQEE so he can beat anyone on the road--anyone who is walking, that is. Magis Eggth wills her height to les gush so he won't have to jump so high on the basketball court. Qagig Iverson gives up his endless stamina, his bursting ambition, and his magnificent athletic ability to Qigk Qggpgg in hopes that he will make better use of it and won't have to sleep in class so much. Therefs a lot left over because Qggg, it seems, was very conservative when it came to using up his energy. Rebecca Michaelsen wills her truck to Qhglby Eggklg to haul all the corn stocks away after the Prom. nike Lggbig wills his straight pipes to Qian to keep Bertha awake at night. gig Qtilgs wills his wavy hair to E152 Wakefield in hopes that he'll play with that instead of making so much noise with his pencil during class. Larry Qmith gives his long hair to 295 51225 to keep his ears warm on his trips north of town. Eggene Schwemmer wills his blushing smile to Ronnie Hoffman to help him catch one of those little Austin girls. gay Qilngg wills his height and paint brushes to Leslie Qhaw so he can paint water towers this summer. gggman Qlggg gives his.bashful ways to 52333 Anderson in hopes that she will quit flirting so much. Claron Ottman gives his Charles Atlas physique to Glenn Peterson so he can make out better in Austin. Joyce Russell wills her ability to fight back to Egg Twitchell so that Harv won't get the best of her. Robert Peterson wills his talent at the pool table to Merian DeRaad so he won't lose so much in Dexter. Bob Qu! wills his sharp Ford to Ronnie Weiss in hopes that he will have better luck with his 'rearends.' Dixie Benson wills Gir1's State and all the fu she's had this year to Egg. Margys Clark wills her accordian to Bertha Dahlke to drown out Stan's singing Larry Wygtt wills his quiet ways to Barbara Sorum in hopes that she will give the teachers more of a chance to get a word in edgewise. We, the seniors of 1957, will our good behavior to the sophomores and give them the courage to nstick it outn until your graduation. To the freshmen we merely say, nHave as much fun as we have, but try to stay out of trouble while doing it. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Year : 2000 Place: Grandfather's living room GRANDFATHER: If you children will settle down and stop all this noise, I'll tell you a story. It's about the day the seniors of '57 had their class re- union. They held it at the Bear Creek Wild Life Refuge and Park. I was just a young whipper-snapper working at the refuge as an oversesrer. This particular day every thing was going good when all of a sudden I heard an ,explosion that sounded like a rocket. With a spray of gravel and a screech of brakes, one of those new rocket jet Fords came to a halt. As the dust cleared away I saw it was Mike Loebig, the famous hot-rod driver and owner of Mike's Thrill-Cade. With Mike was his wife and two boys who are following in their dad'e footsteps. Behind Mike was Miss Dixie Benson who became the dean of Steven's Women College. Dixie was overjoyed to see her old friend, ggbgggg Michaelsen who was a make-up artist for M-G-M. with Egg!! was her husband and Tom Jacobson. Tom became a great orchestra leader. He plays the hottest trum- 525 in town. with Tom was Marlyg Clark. Marlyg became the greatest accordian player Lawrence Welk ever had. Marlys did alright for herself. She married Lawrsnce's son Larry and raised four little accordian players of her own. The biggest car there belonged to gig Smrkovski. gig signed with 20th Century Fox right after graduation. gig became the biggest movie star Holly-wood ever had. They say he never married because so many rich women were after him and he cou1dn't make up his mind. gig brought with him Geraldine Seavey. She became the star of the Metropolitan Opera. Gergyjdid take time out from singing to raise three little canarys of her own. Lester Buringa was the next one to join thas group. He was known in the boxing field as 'H g Lesn. Les was discovered on a fanm north of Grand Meadow. After he left the fanm he became the heavy weight champion of the world and was never defeated. L22 is retired now. He smokes big 50 cent cigars and takes life easy. This was always Les's motive in life. Evegett Miller was with Lggg he has become such a big and successful farmer that he had Martin Bustad working for him. Everett has his cigars im- ported. Another member of this old gang is Robert Qgy. He is a noted T.V. comedian. He is Bob Cummings, Red Skelton, and Eeorge Gobel all rolled into one. Egg is having fun raising his own little Jokers now. I saw two Navy men with Egg. It was Robert Ewigg and Robert Peterson. They went into the Navy right after graduation. I noted fro all their medals that they are admirals. Callie Milner was the next to join the seniors. Callie married right after grad- uation. She and her husband were quite successful in the bakery business. Callie's twin brother, ggy Milner, was with her. ggy became very successful in the business of painting water towers. Every class raises some career girls. Joan Calkins, Mavis Fruth, and Jeanette Grams became secretaries for big business firms. They also are top-notch mothers. LaVonne Anderson and Egg Grathwohl were the next to join the group. LaVonne is an elementary teacher. She liked small children so well that she got married and started raising a family of her own. Egg became the coach of the Minneapolis Lakers. I saw David Iverson with him. He became the manager of the New York Yankees. Qgggg was always a manager of some sort. David's sister, Audrey Iverson, was there, also. She stayed in Grand Meadow and started a beautican school, which she was the manager of. She also took time out to style a family. Audrey got a lot of practice in both of these fields when she worked for Dorothy Blanchard. Some successful businessmen who stayed in Grand Meadow are Tru- ggg Olson, Larrg Smith, and Darwin Sween. Truman became the manager of-ah I.B.M. plant. Everyone knew Truman would go a long way because of his pleasing personality. igggy has a large chain of hardware stores. Largy taught his son all the tricks of the trade. Darwin has a big, ultra-modern gas station. His hobby is boxing. The taught his sons early in life how to defend them- selves. I noticed Claron Ottman looking the Refuge over very carefully. He is at the head of the Minnesota School of Agriculture. This isn't sur- prising at all because Claron was always an active member of the F.F.A. Eugene Schwemmer was walking around with him. Eugene became a noted violin player. He got his start on the violin during the senior class play. He liked.the violin so well he couldn't lay it down. The acting world's loss was the music world's gain. I was very surprised to see iig Stiles there. iig is the Senator from Minnesota. He was often called on to settle disputes over seas. This is only natural because gig was always talking people into things or talking then out of things. gig finally talked himself into marriage and four little Norweigens. I notice a tall dark women there. It was Ruth Collins. She was a great concert pianist. In fact she was so good when Liberace heard her he turned in his candellabra. There was a little slim blond women with her. It was none other than Margaret Merkel. Margaret was a top-notched broadway dancer. She was a natural for something like this because she danced her way through life. Larqz Glynn and Ila Lindelien were about the last ones to come. Largg became a car salesmen. This was an ideal line for Largy because he always had the gift of gab. Largy always claimed there wasn't anything like a ford. iig became a liver surgeon and could fix anyones liver up. She did have a probl m though, she couldn't take care of her gall-stones. I thought that was the end of them when a plane landed on the river. It was ggggy H2321 and QQXSS Russell. Largy was a pilot of one those big jets. Qgygg was a famous airlin0 hogtesg, That was the biggest and nicest affairs ever held at the park but then that was understandable because they were all such wonderful pgagl36NIOR GLASS . :Wg-: s mawwmaw -: ' w s.: SENIOR ACTIVITIES La Vonne Anderson Band--1-2-3-L Chorus-l-2-3-4 Paper Staff-3 Annual Staff-3-4 Vocal Solo-2 Glee Club--l-2 Cheerleader-l-2-3-4 Prom waitress-3 Homecoming Queen-4 Valentine Candidate--3 Baccalaureate and Graduation Usher-3 Jr. Class Play--3 Drom ani Bugle Corp--2 Horn Solo--l Dixie Benson Band--l-2-3-L Chorus-l-2-3-L Glee Club-1-2-3 Paper Staff-3 G,A.A.
