Rushford High School - Valley Legend Yearbook (Rushford, MN)

CLASSES THE Freshmen class; they did their best, To win success and fame; They surely did create a mess, In writing English themes. The Sophomore class is at its best, When having lots of fun; It must be great to be a Soph, And be considered dumb. The Juniors idolize and mock The Seniors every way. Their great ambition is to be The leading class some day.

— The Valley Legend — m Hi m Hi m it! Hi H Hi I AXEL JAASTAD founded a juvenile court in Rushford where mistreated pupils can find consolation. He had the pleasure of meeting some of the children of former classmates. MYRTLE JAMES is busting bronchos on a Western ranch. She acquired her skill at this profession through her acquaintances with some of her boy friends of 1931. DOROTHY JENSON has chosen to be a horse jockey. Her pet horse, “Prancing Judas,’’ carried her in last in a slow motion race in 1937. She won a $150,000 purse in that race. ESTHER KJOS broke the world’s record at tree sitting in 1936. She became entangled in a huge elm tree in the wilds of Africa, and had to be content to sit there unt'l help arrived, which was forty-four days later. MARTIN KJOS is a baby-tender in a large department store in Chicago. Judging from visions, the babies in Chicago are nearly full grown. They are of the weaker sex, however, so Martin can undoubtedly take care of them. ORRIN MILLIE recently set up a photographer’s studio at Rushford. He has already had the misfortune of destroying several lenses on some of his former classmates. LAWRENCE O’DONNELL lit upon the proposition of farming on sea. His only unsolved problems are transportation and securing enough moisture. MILDRED OTIS married a wealthy broker of New York. She intends to visit Rushford when the roads in this country are made wide enough to allow her new car to pass. NORDAHL OVERLAND is leader of the St. Olaf College Choir. They don’t need a choir as long as Nordahl is able to perform. THEODORE ROBERTON is one of the outstanding figures under bright, shining lights of Broadway. He has been starring for ten years in a musical comedy “Oh! Where, Oh! Where, Has My Little Dog Gone?” LYLE SCHOONOVER is the greatest criminal lawyer of all times. He recently saved Theodore Roberton’s dog from the death chair by proving him insane after he intentionally murdered Dr. Williams’ big police dog. ROBERT SCHOONOVER is a member of the U. S. Senate from Minnesota. He originated the law, whereby teachers cannot sass their pupils. EVELYN SEVERUD is operating the only Huick taxi line in existence. The Buick car has become rather antique by this time, but it still seems to be Evelyn’s main hobby. MILFORD SHELDAHL is the youngest man that ever sat as Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Yesterday, in a decision that will make history, he said, “Any parent who allows his daughter to marry a student, or any other kind ..of loafer, may be compelled to support her. JUSTIN SWIGGUM is manager and owner of a cheese factory at Arendahl. Due to Justin’s influence, Arendahl is now an outstanding city with a population of twenty-!{ five. AH of Minnesota’s representatives in Congress come from there. |j| EVELYN THOMPSON is proprietor of the popular “Root River Hotel,” at Rushford. gja Her cooking is a good answer to the question, “Why do men leave home?” |f| HELEN TRACY has joined the secret service force of the U. S. Beware, ye publfc |x= enemies, for your days of success are over! )■ SIDNEY WOXLAND has chosen the worthwhile profession of teaching the heathens ’ the rights and wrongs of life.
