THE MIRROR OF 1954 Mondovi, Wisconsin Editor Jerry Bollinger Ass'S Editor Donno Show In presenting the 1954 Mirror, we hope it shall be to you a review of this school year. We hope it shall bring bock, in years to come, memories of days spent in work and pleasure. Dedication and On iTlemoUam Excerpt From the Funeral Service For Chester L. Dodge April 14,1953. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me,Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them. (Revelation 14:13) No greater tribute could be given to Chester L. Dodge than this, that his works do follow him, that thirty-three years of devotion and labor, of kindness and wisdom, follow him in this world as he has gone on to the next. Few men have been so well-qualified for the leadership of the young as he. His work as superintendent, principal, and teacher must often have been demanding as he sought to work out personal relationships, and irksome in the long-hours required over minute details. Yet he never lost his boundless enthusiasm for his profession; he never let his long years of service slip into work of official routine; but he kept fresh and vital his genuine love for children, his deep concern for the welfare of his teachers, and his selfless interest in the well-being of his community. Not only in his work, but in his personal life, he was a leader and inspiration for youth. He believed in and practiced a wholesome way of living. The excellence of his own personal habits and high quality of his character have been a strong influence on the generations of young people who were priviledg-ed to pass under his care and guidance. There are few men who have been so universally respected and loved as he was. Soldier, teacher, husband, citizen, principal, and superintendent, he was held in the highest regard by others in his profession and was an inspiration to all with whom he came in close contact. He became a symbol for the community in which he lived. As he loved Mondovi so did Mondovi love him and shared in his enthusiasm for our schools and their activities in building a strong educational and moral basis for our youth. 3 By Rev. J. M.

We have enjoyed having her with us and we hope that she has enjoyed her school year at Mondovi High School. Silver Bells, was the theme at the Christmas Ball. Our King and ieen were Robert Wulff and Kay Seyforth. Our Senior Skit placed second at the pep Rally. The officers are: Pres. Karen Lee, V. Free. Marge Lumdal, Sec. Yvonne John son, Treas. Lois Nyre. 1. to r.i Miss C iarberg, L. Nyre, M. Lumdal, K. Lee, Y. Johnson 14 The two of us were talking about the Class of 1954 and what fate may have brought them. A rocket ship around the world would just be the answer: As our ship banked sharply to the East and we were flying low over Germany, we saw Traudie teaching the Bunny Hop to her class at the German branch of the Arthur Murray Dance Studio under the direction of Gary Johnson. Finding ourselves over Paris, we landed on the Eiffel Tower to discover Jerry Bollinger operating the elevator while Yvonne Zabrocki was entertaining the sight seeing group. We thumbed down an antique cab and mucfw to our surprise discovered Donna Barney as the hack. We stopped at the Space Bubbles Bar ana who should be sliding us a foamy A Bomb but Herman Dehnke. Soft music and the floor show began with Joyce Thalacker and Betty Olson who had rocketed in from a previous engagement on the Moon. We enjoyed our stay and again took off for the Orient not realizing our pilot is Ruth Berg. An emergency stop in India requiring another fuel pill for our tank, found Carol Forthun playing the clarinet for Colleen Ryan, the snake charmer. We threw pennies and walked off the see Sue Erickson doing her universal famous dance of the Seven Veils. We were fortunate to avoid the raid on the place led by Space Chief Patrolman Claflin. In the air enroute to the Orient we passed George Robinson chasing butterflies in the clouds. Parking our space ship in an air block we found transportation with a jet propelled rickshaw mastered by Melvin Becker to the Blumhardt Arms Hotel located on the water front with the aged Mickey Spillane in partnership.Ushered to our room by the bellhop, Victor Jordet, we settled back and relaxed as the videoscope set views to us Dorothy Brantner playing the past famous Marilyn Monroe. Her leading man was the newest sensation, Merle Fitzgerald. Here in Tokeyo we visited the Universal Museum and found a crowd gathered around Lynette Brantner's famous landscape entitled Blue Hawaii . The International Documents shewed us some of Dale Rustad's English themes. We enjoyed our stay, but time passed swiftly and Australia was next on our agenda. Our trip was pleasant and the water blue, cm the way we encountered Franny Stamm swimming the Pacific Ocean. The air strip at Sidney revealed Ralph Wood as a flag swinger. We stopped at the information booth and asked Gerry Meyer where to find the former Karen Woodhull who was reportedly in partnership with her husband operating a famous kangaroo ranch. Along the road on the way to the ranch we came upon Dallas Beck who was making a livlihood f selling peanuts. We attended a basketball game between the Mirror Lakers and Australian Crawlers. To our surprise we saw Bill Lieberman, George Benning, Robert Wulff Frannie Weisenbeck, and others making up the eager's tdam. Having decided’on stopping in Mexico, we met Lois Odegard teaching Latin and told her of seeing Bonnie Nelson in Hawaii who was bootlegging pineapple juice. We left our space ship in Mexico and departed to San Francisco in a jetmobile. The traffic had not slackened even with the aid of Karen Lee, the mounted police woman who was directing traffic. Scanning the newspaper, the now married Mary Evenson was entertaining the popular detective Bonnie Gooderaote at her penthouse. A style show was in progress at the Top of the Mark which was now in joint ownership of Donald Passow and Eldon Davis. Some top models were Kay Seyforth, Lois Nyre, and Clarice Larson. We were served cocktails by Shirley Helwig who is now a resident of San Francisco. Starting across country, traveling towards New York, in the Rocky Mountains we flashed by Phil Anibas riding a donkey. Montana boasts a famous cattle rancher, maybe you remember her as our own Lois Brenn. Here we certainly enjoyed an old fashioned hoedown starring the Johnson Sisters with Yvonne. In Nevada we heard of a famed casino called the Red Head Haven operated by Joan Wulff, Marge Lumdal, and Leigh Heck. The dance team showing recently was John Rohrscheib and Bernard Gruber. Riding hard in Texas for a big rancher was Marge Ness, who we saw when meandering towards New Orleans where at the Mardi Gras we found Grace Moats, a popular opera vocalist. Our jetmobile was in need of repairs so we scooted to Detroit where Norm George, a mechanic, tuned our motor to perfection and assured us of a safe trip to New York. Larry Crawford, a fuel pill station owner, fueled the tank in Pennsylvania. One of the first persons we saw in New York was Betty Bloom washing windows in the United Nations Building. A session was taking place and the first woman president, Elaine Otteson, was speaking to her advisor, Harold Isaacson, about the new amendment brought up by statesman Arnold Risler. We both felt the trip would not be complete without a visit to the Hall of Fame which was conducted by an excellent cultural personality, Elizabeth Hovey. We inspected a bust of Mr. Punk who died in pieces because of his mad chemists. Ann McSorley, who wrote the revised version of Mickey Spillane's top selling book, was next to Mr. Lambert and his good deeds. Even Mr. Deetz was there keeping law and order as he did long ago in Study Hall.
