We will now switch you to the first grade station. Miss Judy Soma is the mistress of ceremonies. Under her direction we present our first group of students—Bonnie Anderson, Jane Anderson, Marcia Bartel, Lloyd Jensen, Bussell Lienau, Shirley O’Brien, and Janet Saettre. You have probably noticed how sad this group of first graders look. This is because Miss Soma is not here to hand them their final report cards to promote them into second grade,where Dolores Vail and Thomas Beaver will join them.Perhaps the most memorable scene at this station is the time one of the boys tickled Miss Brodin's toes while she was reading the class a story. How we quickly switch past the third and fourth grades to the fifth grade, where we pick up Connie Pox. A bad accident has just occurred on our sixth grade TV station. Itfs around Christmas time and Miss Sorenson has Just broken her hip. As the sixth graders and their two new students, Delores Dahle and Joanne Sheppard, talk amongst themselves wondering who will take Miss Soren- son's place it is announced that Mrs. Aimer Ottemess is the new teacher. The seventh grade TV station is a completely new station, with Eleanore Punk and Alfred Hedge sitting in. New cast members added to the eighth grade station include Olenda ElLingson, Margaret Bartel, Plorence Keller, Harold Ness, and Leslie Thronson. Maggie and Jiggs are starred as the initiation king and queen of the freshman TV station. In the background you can see the new green freshman-Eileen Hanson, Thomas Larson, Arvid Boyun, Phyllis Kent, and Shirley Saxton. If you look hard as we hurry past the sophomore station you will see that a number of sophomores are staying after school nights convalescing from that well-known disease—zkipitis. Mr. Butterworth is our first scene on the junior TV station. That man behind the stage pulling his hair is the world famous director and producer, Mr. Bernard Schultz. The right back corner of the city hall is vibrating because the silent messenger boy and the star of the play, Violet, are back there trying to shake off their nervousness. Those screwed-up faces the cast is making is not their make-up; it's only from the lemons they are chewing on. Our next scene is at Diamond Jim's Tavern for the Junior-Senior Prom where the two classes and the faculty members are having a Gay Ninety time. No dance follows the banquet, so we will switch to the senior TV station while the Juniors and seniors go their separate ways tfter the banquet. By the way, those two new characters on the junior scene were Doris Lyke and Base Hanf • That pretty girl in the center of your television screen right now is the Homecoming Queen, Dolores Vail. Next to Dolores are her senior attendants, Bonnie Anderwon and Jane Anderson. The Homecoming dance tonight is a big success regardless of the fact that the football game was lost to G odhue this afternoon. If there is a little smoke rising from your television set now don't become alarmed and call your repairman because it's only from the heated argument being held between the Democrats and the Republicans and the •Undecideds during the national election. Now as the smoke slowly settles you will see that the arguing has been brought to a conclusion by the school election and everything is slowly calming down. This senior TV station i6 not yet completed,but there is a feeling of optimism in .the air. The seniors are looking forward to the end of May with happiness, tinged with a fesling of regret about leaving K.H.S. 10 SZHIOR CLASS PROPHECY Although we were very happy at our home on the moon, we were very forcibly persuaded to take a trip to the earth, by the rocket ace, Lloyd Jensen.After arranging our solar affair we embarked on our Journey The charming stewardess, who turned out to be Margaret Bartel,gave us some gun to keep the pressure out of our ears. The Less-Press Gum invented by her was marvelous When we landed at the Kasson Jetport,we saw a poster advertising a wrestling match, star- ring a well known local man, Russ Lienau We couldn't miss the show after we found that out In the middle of it we heard some damsel yell, Come on, Russ A glance at the woman in the luscious furs told us it was Florence Keller We were quite hungry after the match; so we stopped at a small cafe across the street from the auditorium The proprietress of Rosie's Snack Shop turned out to be Rose Hanf While we ate our lunch we watched a show on TV When we tuned in the newscaster was saying At this minute a brave woman foreign diplomat is at the Kremlin telling Stalin what we Americans stand for; this woman's name is Janet Saettre. Other news was about a hunter in deepest Mars, Harold Ness. Then a football game came on.with A1 Hodge, All-American playing quarterback for the Greenbay Packers As we went souvenir shopping, we couldn't resist buying some of the unique Norwegian embroidery done by Kileen Hanson When we came out of the shop, we took a cab down to the newspaper office. As we were driving down the street we noticed a truck with this sign on it; Tiny Tots Laundry Joanne Sheppard Proprietress When we finally arrived at the paper office we immediately asked to see the editor Were we surprised when Dolores Vail stepped forward and introduced herself as the editor in chief of the Kasson Daily Prom Dolores we found out that another friend of ours Phyliss Kent was in Alaska filling out income tax forms for the Eskimos After leaving Kasson we started on a tour of the country We stopped in Chicago long enou£i to see the magnificent Hummingbird Nightclub, owned by Doris Lyke Doris ejqplained that next week they would feature the famous tenor of stage, screen and video, Thomas Ia.rson Next, we went to Hew York In reading an issue of the figw Toxic Tia.es we found an interest- ing column by Marcia Bartel, syndicated columnist for that same paper We read an interesting item in her column about Arvid Boyum, winner of the 1963 plow matches In the pictures section of the paper we saw a photo of Lee and Louie —why, it was Lee Thronson, a ventriloquist We also read about Shirley Saxton, a woman lawyer in Philadelphia She had a difficult case Someone had stolen Connie Pox's prise poodle. Hitting the high spots of New York included see- ing a style show where enchanting Jane Anderson modeled the exquisite Delores Originals de- signed by Delores Dahle for Vogue Patterns Attending a concert by the New York Philharmonic, we heard the now famous Baritone Concerto composed by Eleanore Punk During the course of the concert we heard a thrilling clarinet cadenza by Bonnie Anderson We also saw a novelty show where Thomas Beaver, The Master Comedian had the audience of five thousand rolling in the aisles over his antics As we walked down Wall Street,whom should we see but Glenda Ellingscn She told us that she was now an important banker at a large bank there Satisfied that we had had a fine vacation on the earth, we headed for the Jetport. There waiting for a jet to come in was Shirley O'Brien We talked with her awhile and learned that she was a private secretary to Mr Adams of the Atom Research Agency With pleasant memories of the success of the class of '53 in mind we sped toward our crater hone 11 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the senior class of 1953.

Saxton Advisor—Mrs. Otterness WITH THE EDITOR We. the seniors of the KASSON KHOHICAL staff, take this opportunity to welcome the new editor, Beth McCready and all of the other staff reporters. It has been a pleasure working with this group and we want to wish them success during the coning year. Since we have been In charge of the paper we have made a few Improvements such as selling sub- scriptions to help pay for the printing of the KHOHICAL. Of course If everyone In the student body bought a paper or even a subscription. It would encourage the people who spend much time In writing articles for their school paper. We are sure that Beth and her co-workers will find an even better way to improve upon the school paper. Any and all suggestions are welcome. It seems that there are so many who know Just the solution to a better and more interesting paper; yet opinions seem to fade once the reporter starts prying for outstanding material to add zest to the reading. The old gos8lp column has been banished because it is neither flattering nor does it add any- thing to the paper. Perhaps a different approach can be used In order not to have the stuffy John Is still going with Mary type gossip which Is really silly when you stop to think of it. Using feature articles and other light material has been our method of eliminating that empty dissatisfied feeling of being without a gossip column. There has to be snap and sparkle in a stud- ent paper In order to make It sell. In conclusion to this, our last Issue, we want to say thanks to Mrs. Otterness for her patient supervision during our years of working on the Kasson KHOHICAL. Dolores Tail-Editor VOICE OF AMERICA PHOTOGRAPHS K.H.S. The Toice of America picture story of political life In a small mldwestern farm town was In full swing In Kasson the 19th of September. Robert Morttar was the United States Information Service representative for this particular project. Mr. Mottar came to do the Kasson story after he had completed a coverage of the labor situation In Detroit. After taking a series of pictures of the Kasson student body, being addressed by Senator Duff, Mr. Morttar gave a brief impromtu talk to the seniors. Originally, Mr. Morttar came to Dodge County to cover the Plowvllle story. He arrived In Rochester and there he rented a car. While driving to Plowvllle he.passed through our home town and it appealed to him Instantly as the ideal location In a small farming community. After a conversation with Senator Duff and several talks with Mayor Arthur Beaver, the ground work was laid. Mottar aimed for a toted, of twenty pictures to give a comprehensive analysis of politice In The Toice of America is a continuation of the International Information Adminstration which was organised In 19  ? by the U.8. government to off-shoot some of the war programs. The adminstration has seventeen different magaslnes that they own In foreign nations, and Is co-operating with several foreign publications at the present time. The Toice of America serves as an American ambassador abroad. It tries to correct the false Ideas spread by the communists. Its purpose Is to show America as It Is. The pictures that have been taken In Kasson will be made into pamphlets and possibly Into a film strip. However, they will not be used In the United States for fear of government and Internal propaganda. Through the co-operation of Mr. Mottar it Is probable that some pictures will filter back to Kasson, and consquently to our school library. 37 $2 Contributors $5 Contributors Dayntee Laydee Shoppe Farmer’s Co-op Station Culligan Soft Water Dibble Furniture Kasson Dry Cleaner Pietsch Implement Motors Jensen Jewelry (.ostegaard D-S Service Kasson Drug Store Anderson Grocery Hormel and Co.
