TREASURER W. F. DRAKE - H. D. McKAY C. A. EGGEN FOREWORD Fifty years ago Rushford High School presented its first class for graduation. Half a century of educational service has passed, and, with the presentation of the class of 1932 as the fiftieth graduating class, we offer this Anniversary edition of The Valley Legend, humbly hoping that, in the eyes of our patrons, it will uphold the high standard of workmanship established by the first edition. We hope, too, that its interest will not wane with the years, but continue to be a source of pleasure, and that, in the long pathway of life, it will serve to keep bright the memories of our high school days. DEDICATION TO SUPERINTENDENT Joseph T. Hanson under whose guidance we have worked for the past three years, and to whose tireless labors and patient efforts we and the school owe so much, we, the class of 1932 respectfully and affectionately dedicate this second edition of THE VALLEY LEGEND fable of Contents Frontispiece _ Page 2 Foreword - - Page 3 Dedication ... - - Page 4 Editors .... - - Page 6 Faculty . - _ Page 7 Seniors ....

May the dreams of Air class soon come true; We have beauty and wit. And much courage and grit. As you’ll see. when we pass in review. Now John M. is the first in our line. And his nature is hard to define: He will not look for fun When there’s work to be done. And you’ll find him in bed before nine. When basketball we wish to learn To Captain John Peter we turn; He can toss in a ball With no trouble at all ; For such skill his opponents do yearn. Here comes Iver to join our brigade; The class money he guards underpaid. He is quiet and studious. Never makes himself ludicrous. Ami through plenty of work he can wade. There is Helen, a lively brunette: What she wants, she will usually get. She is comely, attractive. Energetic and active: She’s a class mate we will not forget. Then there’s Esther who’s one of our crew That has hair of a soft flaxen hue. And we find every day She is merry and gay. Yet at times she is serious too. A cornetist of no little fame. Is a young man, Donald, by name Whose one greatest joy I the ’’American Boy,” And to read it way through is his aim. Our great typist is next of our tribe. So now Florence I’ll vrv to describe. She can jingle the keys With remarkable ea e. And her shorthand can swiftly transcribe. Val's a type that can not be defined; She’s a student, but never a grind ; Outdoor sports she adores. There’s no game she abhors. And no troubles rest long on her mind. Next Arthur Iatumb comes into sight. His greatest asset is his height : He sneaks up or. the ball And can make quite a haul. When at basketball Arthur does fight. Our Ruth I.aumb is a girl that’s most fair With that beautiful, wavy, gold hair. She is graceful and neat. And her smile is a treat; One might think she had never a caro Florence Manion is one of our gang ; She comes in or goes out with a bang. But she pulls out a puff, And her hair she does ‘luff. Then she uses a little bit slang. � I ♦ : ♦ i f � ♦ � � ♦ i ♦ i � t i i Brown-eyed Bernice we won’t leave behind. For she’s affable, friendly, and kind; Though she's quiet and demure One can always be sure That she’ll be in good frame of mind. Now a certain miss comes into view. It is Georgia who has eyes of blue; She’s persistent, veracious. And sincere and sagacious. And she works at a task till she’s through. From the hall come giggles and laughter. And our Gyda is sure to come after; Though she’s small as to size. She is quite a surprise. She’s a worker, but never a grafter. Next comes Asmund. who cannot Ik downed. For his judgment is usually sound. The sports news he does edit. And each player gets credit; On the front page the write-up is found. Then our Gladys, at tasks won’t demur. Around problems, she doesn’t detour; She has plenty of grit. Ami her work she won’t quit. Then she won’t need to guess, she is sure. And now Truman makes his appearance With confidence, pride, and assurance; He is handsome and clever. And will always endeavor Not to leave things to fate or to chance. And then Lorna next joins our parade. Now of work she is never afraid; Many things she does know. And with pride she can show Good results, when her work is displayed. There is Clifford, who's one of the clan Whom we find is a camera club fan. And we know that he's one Who likes to have fun. He is quite an exceptional man. Now there is young fellow named Paul And his motto— Why study at all? But when tooting the sax. He is not so lax : His music sounds fine we recall. Next comes Frieda so full of alacrity. Vitality, vim. and vivacity; A cheer leader of ckill. Who can cheer with a will. And thus help our team fight to capacity. | PAGE TWELVE ] 19 3 2 THE VALLEY LEGEND Then is Lotah, a most perfect blond. Of a basket ball name, she is fond: She is pleasant to meet. For she’s always :o sweet Whether jersty or silk she has donned. When we gaze on our Margaret so bright. Through smoked glasses we see with delight One who never will ihirk From most arduous work : Such ambition routs tasks out of sight. When soft strains from the fiddle we hear. We all know tha Ruth Richards is near: She has « urly light hair. A dependable air. And with skill a car she can steer. Oh our Harriet surely can sing: Blues, jazz, ragtime, and most anything. When we hear that clear voice We an alway� rejoice For won’t music charm even a king? There is Betty who strives for the best, And he.- studies she doesn’t detest. She is jolly and frank— One on whom we can bank. To our cla j« she adds zeal anil zest. Of myself. I have little to say. I am known ;o my ia; mates as Ray. To describe one’s re!f right 1 a ta-k that’s not light So I’ll leave that to friends to jiortray. We will cherish our high school days ’r rou rh the years in a great many ways. We are sail to depart But so glad for a start To success which brings glory and praise. I ! In that memorable fall of 192S, little did we realize when we entered high school that We were then becoming members of the select minority of the country, nor did we know that there Jay ahead of us four years of education not commonly given to most of our people. The thirty entrants who came fearlessly into the assembly that bright September morning were: Doris Ahern. John M. Anderson. John Peter Anderson. Ruth Bagley. Helen Kkern. Ksther Engrav, Bernice Erickson. Georgia Erickson, Rachel Fris-vold. Martha Himlie, Asmund Highum. Donald Hoegh, Gladys Honsey. Gordon James. Florence Johnson. Valborg Julsrud, Arthur Laumb, Ruth I.auntb. Florence Manion. Elfrieda Markegard. Truman Markegard. Clifford Olstad, Paul Parish. Frieda Peterson. Lelah Peterson. Margaret Peterson. Harriet Rislove. Elmer Rislove, Telona Tor-gerson. and Phyllis Sloan. Introductions to vhe following teachers were made: Miss Urbatch. Miss Van Ornum. Miss Nelson. Miss Hoppe. Mr. I oos. Mr. Bostrum. Mrs. Stehly. principal, and Mr. Rodin, superintendent. At last the unpleasantness of being the lowest class was over. We moved southward toward the windows into our Sophomore year. Doris Ahern left us this year, and Ruth Bagley remained with us only until March. Gyda Hulling, Lorna Marker. Ruth Richards. Norman Chilson. and Bennett Larson joined our ranks. Mr. Rohweder replaced Mr. Loos on the faculty, while Mr. Hanson replaced Mr. Bodin. Mr. Hedlund became our history teacher for the second semester. After a brief vacation we came back to resume our studies as Juniors. We acquiree! only one new member this year. Iver Bakken. while Norman Chilson and Bennett Larson failed to come hack. This year Miss Turnacliff. Miss Penschuck. and Mr. Erlanson aided us in our struggle for achievement. They took the places cf Miss Urbatch. Miss Nelson, and Miss Hoppe, respectively. Last but not least came the final year of triumph. We became seniors, and moved to the seats next to the windows. We entered twenty-nine strong. Eliza 1m-th Shirven having joined Us. and nil but two of that number are graduating. The only changes in the faculty for this memorable year were Miss Holsinger. who replaced Miss Van Ornum. and Mr. Johnson, who was Mr. Hedlund’s successor. Mrs. Smaby was appointed to direct the musical festivities. Events which helped to keep us busy during the last month were numerous. Among them ranked our class play. Climbing Roses which we believe we can call a succc ss. It was given May 5 and 6. A delightful entertainment at a banquet was given us by the Juniors on May 20. Our class day exercises were held May 23. Baccalaureate services will Ik held in the Presbyterian Church on May 29. Arthur T. French will deliver the address on our commencement day. June 3. Graduation means that we have concluded our educational career in Rushford. In the future we must look elsewhere, for we know a successful futur is of great importance to everyone. Consequently, we are looking forward to other activities of an educational nature. Our education is not the end of life’s ambition, but the nieanrf of attaining that end. This is brought fe-th in our class motto. Not the end but on the way. ! ♦ i � l ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ I � I ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ I : ♦ ♦ : ♦ i 19 3 2 [ PAGE THIRTEEN 1 THE VALLEY LEGEND On June 3, 1957, a former commercial teacher of Rushford High School sat beside her radio to spend a quiet evening;. At eight o’clock p. m., she heard the voice of a new announcer. She knew that this program would be of interest to many, so she made use of the shorthand which she had taught to the class of ’32, and as each new voice came over the air, she wrote down in neat notes all that each said. She transcribes her notes as follows: You are listening to station RHVL, the Rushford High School Valley Legend station, with studios in the new and spacious auditorium located in Rushford, Minnesota. Your announcer is Arthur Laumb. This twenty-fifth anniversary program of the class of 1532 has been arranged especially for friends and classmates of the fiftieth graduating class of the famous Root River Valley High School. Through the untiring efforts of the former class president, Margaret Peterson, and through the cooperation of this broadcasting station, this program is made possible. Fortunately we are able to present on the program, or to give recent information regarding every member of the class of 1932 with the exception of Paul Parish. No word has been heard of him during the past five years, although every possible means of locating him has been used. He was last heard of on board a cruising yacht in the South Sea in company with his club members whose motto was “Long Live the Single Man.” It is believed that they were shipwrecked and that at present they are living on a small island. The attention of the United States is centered today on the national tour of the new and largest dirigible in the world. It was built by the United States t 9 [ PAGE FOURTEEN ] Navy and is being piloted by Clifford Olstad, a graduate of the Naval Academy at Annapolis and of the International School for Aviators in Paris. Aboard the same air liner is another alumnus, class of 1932. For the first time in the history of air craft the position of chief mechanic is held by a woman, one who early in school life showed mechanical tendencies. The holder of this exalted position is Florence Manion. A third member of the same class aboard the giant ship is Lorna Marker, who because of her discovery of concentrated food in tablet form, is employed as dietitian by the government. The No-Squirt Pickle Manufacturing Company is on the air. Pickles from this company are guaranteed not to squirt. Buy pickles from this company, and if they are not satisfactory in any way your money will be refunded. The company is sponsoring a million dollar contest, the prize going to the person who can write the best reason for using no-squirt pickles. The rules of the contest are simple. All you need to do is to write one hundred words—no more—no less. Each word must be printed on the cover taken from a no-squirt pickle jar. Then send the covers to Iver Bakken, manager, or to Gladys Honsey, sales manager. The next number on the program is a song by a quartet of girls who graduated in 1932. Although the'T sing together, they are many miles apart geographically. Frieda Peterson will sing from a landing field in the Pacific Ocean where she is stationed as dishwasher in a hot dog stand. Elizabeth Shirven, the second member of the quartet, is singing from the Rushford Studio since she owns and operates the local municipal gas and heating plant. Lelah Peterson, who is now a Senator 3 2 _ THE VALLEY LEGEM) : i in Congress, is singing from Washington, D. C., where she has spent the past fifteen years on an investigating committee in an attempt to determine the effect of the 1930-1931 depression on the sale of gum to high school students. The last member of the quartet, Harriet Rislove, will sing from her farm home near Hart to which she has recently retired after having won the title of “sweetheart of the air” because of her radio singing. It is of great interest to Rushfordites and especially to alumni of R. H. S. to learn that girls’ basketball has taken a prominent place in athletics since the construction of the new million dollar athletic field and gymnasium. The Rush-ford girls’ team won the 1957 state championships in both track and basketball. Their coach who is the head of the girls’ physical education department, is the popular Miss Georgia Erickson, class of 1932. Prominent in Rushford athletics, also, is the son of Asmund Highum, who inherited his father’s nickname, so is popularly known as “Sonny.” He is to participate in the 1957 Olympic games to be held this summer . Asmund, Sr., is still connected with the local High School in the capacity of Business Manager of The Valley Legend, the high school annual. Because of his record in that field in 1932, all classes since have employed him. During his leisure time, he has been attempting to discover a method by which a Studebaker car would have an endless supply of gasoline. Buy at John Peter Anderson’s department store where service and quality abound. Ladies, see our line of beautiful new dresses which are being modeled by the well known Gyda Hailing. A piece of Anderson merchandise is truly worth twice that of any other store. We are pleased to present Miss Ruth Richards in a violin number which she is playing from her Berlin studio where she is a famous teacher. Within the next week this vicinity will have an opportunity to see Ringling Brothers Circus as it has included Rush-ford in its circuit. The community is especially interested in one feature of the circus in which a magician accomplishes the transformation of nickels into quarters. Although the magician travels under an assumed name ne will be recognized here as Truman Markegard. A news item of world-wide importance is the trans-Atlantic non-stop swimming contest in which the class of 1932 is represented by Bernice Erickson whose home is in Paris. There she is known as a countess. We had hoped to present on this program a member of the 1932 graduating class who has succeeded in becoming the most popular crooner in the world. Because of so many other demands on his time, we were unable to secure John M. Anderson. Due to the generosity of two members of our class, this studio has been fully equipped. After teaching for many vears in Whalan, Valborg Julsrud and Rachel Frisvold travelled in Norway where they married and are now living on adjoining farms. A news item from the evening Tri-County Record tells of the fashionable wedding of Ruth Laumb which took place yesterday in Pilot Mound on the estate of her husband where they will make their home. Before her marriage, she supervised a training school for nurses. The book store of Wilson is offering two very special bargains this week in putting on the market two new books written by former members of the Class of 1932. The owner of the store, Margaret Peterson, also of the class of 1932, makes the announcement that two books are of special interest to both educators and students. Miss Florence Johnson, who is head of the Bureau of Research for High Schools in the nation’s capital, has written one of the books which deals with the problem of how to get through high school with the least possible effort. Before writing this book. Miss Johnson made a survey of all high school graduates in connection with this subject, so the book is considered to be very reliable. The second book, written by the editor of The American Boy, Donald Hoegh, treats of the problem of the overworked high school boy and remedies for such students. 19 3 2 I PAGE FIFTEEN I THE VALLEY LEGEM) : : i CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 11132, be'ng of sound mini and body and desirous of properly caring for the disposition of our worldy possessions while there is yet time and opportunity, do hereby make and execute this, our last will and testament. We fully realize that satisfactory disposition of such goods as we now possess is well nigh impossible, but we earnestly hope that such disposition as we make will not become cause for strife and ill will among our successors, nor that our earnest wish that our bequests be beneficial be disregarded. We have made our selections and distributions carefully and have in all cases attempted to fit the bequest to the heir. We earnestly hope that all will receive them thankfully and use them religiously.

I, MARGARET PETERSON, do will and bequeath my dignity to Marjorie Ferguson. My scholarship I leave to Conrad Shipstead. And last but not least, my interest in Studebaker cars to my sister Orvilda, being loath to see such valuable material leave the family circle. I, HARRIET ItlSLOVE, do will and bequeath my discursive personality to Mildred Betz and sincerely hope that she continues to keep it so. My talkative ways I leave to one already capable—Evelyn Peterson. I, ELIZABETH SHIRVEN, do will and bequeath my harmonious laughter to Sygne Jaastad; also my ability to blush on necessary occasions to Thora Johnson. i i i i i i j i i i i i i t i i • j i i i 19 3 2 I TAGE SEVENTEEN ] !

Hanson, Superintendent and Coach BOYS’ BASKETBALL IN THE FALL of 19.31, invisible figures were lurking in the shadows near the R. H. S. They haunted every hiding place; trailed the pupils to and from school; and at night, danced around the building to give vent to the joy that evil scheming was bringing to them. On their scowling faces was an evil, satisfied gleam which seemed to forebode disaster for the school. They thought that the athletic fame of the R. H. S. was to become a thing of the past. They did not think that a basketball team could be built around the regular veteran back from last year, Captain John Peter Anderson. This explains the presence of these sinister apparitions. They were waiting to pounce upon the throats of their victims as soon as the R. H. S. showed signs of giving up basketball. However, they were due for a very disappointing surprise. Mr. Hanson perched himself up by Mrs. Stehly’s desk and called out in a booming voice which resounded through the assembly. Mr. Hanson was calling his warriors— telling them that they must assemble and meet the enemy in order to protect the honor and integrity of their Domain. Out of the group of inexperienced though valiant young men who responded, a creditable team was chosen. Captain John P. Anderson, Walter Quarve, and Gordon James were the only letter-men back. I I PACK TWENTY-TWO J 19 3 2 THE VALLEY LEGEND I In their first encounter on November 25. Rushford emerged victorious over Mabel by a 19 to 16 score. On December 4, Rushford lost a close and exciting game by a 14 to 15 count at Spring Grove. Next, on December 11, Lanesboro came here and left with a hard earned 14 to 17 victory to their credit. The Winona Business College came here on December 18 and was handed a 17 to 12 drubbing by the local quint. Rushford defeated the Alumni by an 18 to 14 tally on December 29. The Alumni team was limited to the ’30 and ’31 graduates. On January 7, after a holiday rest, Houston invaded Rushford and left with a 17 to 14 victory. Preston duplicated Houston’s accomplishment on January 14 and went home with a 21 to 11 victory. Rushford invaded Peterson on January 29 and, in spite of the racket created by their vicious, old time rivals, came home with the spoils. The score was 22 to 18. In the following encounter, Rushford was turned back at Preston on February 5 by a 12 to 34 score. In a return game on February 9 Rushford invaded Houston and met the defense with an attack that reversed the score of their previous game and Rushford went home with a 17 to 14 victory. On February 11, Rushford again found revenge in defeating the invading Spring Grove team 22 to 21. On February 16 the Green and Gold sent the visiting Mabel quint home with a 27 to 20 defeat. The local boys came back from Lanes-boro on February 19 after losing to them by a 19 to 25 score. Peterson was turned back on February 23, by a 27 to 18 tally in a return game at Rushford. In the next bout on February 24, Rushford threatened the Chatfield stronghold, but was turned back by a 25 to 19 count. On February 25 Chatfield came to Rushford and their attempt to repeat their performance of February 24 came to naught. Rushford’s counter-attack sent Coach Johnson’s team home with a 13 to 11 defeat. In their first tournament game on March 4, the local quint lost to the strong Preston five by a 10 to 31 score. Thus the enemy was repulsed. Peace and quietness again reigns in our pleasant valley. The lurking shadows have shamefully withdrawn. With regret in their hearts, they realize that they had underestimated the recuperative powers of their prey. They have left Rushford forever and can be seen disappearing on the distant horizon in search of easier victims. The local aggregation has proven themselves deserving of praise, not only because of their victories, for that is not all that counts in the make up of a successful team, but also because of the feeling of loyalty and cooperation that has been manifest throughout the season. Lettermen are as follows—Captain John P. Anderson, Walter Quarve, Gordon James, Donald Johns, Arthur Laumb, Donald Johnson, Paul Parish, Donald Hoegh, George Thomson and Rees Johnson.

In order to qualify for election, a student must rank in the upper one-third of his class in scholarship. Character, leadership, and service to the school are equally considered in giving the honors. Elections in the Senior Class are limited to fifteen percent of the class, and in the Junior Class to five percent, each year. The National Honor Society emblem is a very beautiful key, which is obtained either as a pin or as a watch charm. Last year, Rushford’s Chapter of this organization initiated Margaret Peterson, who was selected from the Junior Class. During the past year, she has been president of the Rushford Chapter. Elections were made by a Faculty Committee on Honors, composed of five members of the high school faculty.

In addition to this, the orchestra has taken part in special school functions. Musical numbers were furnished for the Operetta, “Oh Doctor”, and at the Washington Day celebration. They also provided music for the Class Play, and for the Class Day exercises. A group selected from the orchestra went to the music festival in Spring Grove. The instrumentation of the orchestra this past year is as follows: Violins: Ruth Richards, Lucille Frisvold, Gertrude Woxland, and Thelma Moran; Trumpets: Donald Hoegh, Rees Johnson, and Luther Kjos; Clarinets: Frieda Peterson, Arvid Kjos, and William DuMond; Saxophone: Paul Parish; Alto: Clark DuMond; Trombone: George Thomson; Pianist: Rachel Frisvold. The orchestra has also been assisted this year by Mr. William Smaby, playing a baritone, and Mr. Bennett Larson, drummer. [ PAGE TWENTY-EIGHT ] 19 3 2 _ THE VALLEY LEGEND Operetta “Oh Doctor” A N OPERETTA, “Oh Doctor”, was Riven November 19 and 20 by the Glee Clubs, under the direction of Mrs. Smaby. The play was Riven and was a big success to the Rushford High School. Everyone was pleased with the performance, and it is felt that all the practices and effort put forth were not in vain. The individual parts were excellently taken, and the choruses helped greatly to make the play a success. Mrs. William Smaby was the director of the operetta, and she deserves much credit for her wonderful work. Miss Turnacliff assisted in the dramatic work connected with it, and Miss Holsinger was the dance instructor. Their work added Rreat enjoyment to the performances and made it a better production. Mrs. N. A. Skarstad was the piano accompanist. The business management was taken care of by Miss Penschuck.

This or-J ganization is sub-divided into two clubs, the open club and the closed club. The open club is open to all high school students. Membership to the closed club is restricted to those who have displayed sufficient talent in some public performance. The members of the closed club are: John Peter Anderson, Elsie Brunner, Marjorie Ferguson, Rachel Frisvold, Asmund Highum, Florence Johnson, Valborg Julsrud, Arthur Laumb, Ruth Laumb, Florence Manion, Frieda Peterson, Margaret Peterson, Ruth Richards, and Elizabeth Shirven. Later in the year Olive Fossen, Gordon James, Lelah Peterson, Harriet Rislove, and Frances Tesch were included in the closed club. The purpose of the dramatic club is to obtain self-expression in plays, interpretive readings, debates, and book reviews and also to bring talent to the school. The officers elected for the year were: President, Frieda Peterson; First Vice-President, Florence Johnson; Second Vice-President, John Peter Anderson; Secretary, Asmund Highum; Treasurer and Business Manager, Margaret Peterson; and Historian, Rachel Frisvold. The club at present has 50 members. Meetings are held on Thursdays, twice a month. After the business meetings a program committee presents an entertainment. Last fall, this organization was instrumental in bringing to the High School Mr. Brings of the Northwestern College of Speech who presented a reading of the play, “The Fool.” New members will be initiated into The Dramatic Club this spring and new officers will be elected to carry on the work of the organization next year. | PAGE THIRTY J 19 3 2 THE VALLEY LEGEND Top row—Tonrerson.

Z. is a Girl’s Athletic organization which has a membership of forty-seven girls this year. Its purpose is to stimulate interest in outdoor sports. The members partake in such activities as hiking, roller skating, ice skating, bluff climbing, horseback riding, and swimming. The encouraging influence to take part in these sports is a system of points. When a girl has attained a total of five hundred points, she will get an athletic letter, and when one thousand points have been earned, a sweater is awarded her. Twelve girls were the winners of letters this year. Dues of ten cents are paid at each meeting. One-half of this is used for buying the awards and one-half for refreshments. The meetings are held every first and third Monday in the month. The officers elected last September were—Sygne Jaastad, President; Lena Rislove, Treasurer; Mildred Betz, Secretary. The X. Y. Z. Club, which was organized by Miss Van Ornum, has been supervised this past year by Miss Holsinger. I 19 3 2 I PAGE TH1RTY-ONF J THE VALLEY LEGEND RUSHFORD RIPPLES t i i i i T'HE “RUSHFORD RIPPLES” has appeared in the Tri-County Record for two years. Before this time the school column was known as the “R. H. S. Talkies,” with Miss Urbatch as advisor. There were about one and one half columns printed each week, which has since grown to three or four columns. Since the “Ripples” is one of the most important activities in the school, great care was exercised in the selection of the staff. Most of the offices were filled by the most active juniors on last year’s staff. The purpose of the “Ripples” is to bring to the public news of school happenings, to tell of all the school work, and to present the point of view of the school to parents and all others interested in school affairs. Closer cooperation between the home and the school has been one of its chief aims. In attempting to realize this aim such articles as school progress, individual achievements, and class activities have been written. Faithful attendance and high scholarship have been stimulated and encouraged by giving special public recognition to such achievements in the columns of our paper. Occasionally certain school policies have been presented in the form of editorials. The staff that was selected at the beginning of the school year is as follows— Managing Editor, Florence Johnson; Associate Editor, Margaret Peterson; Sports Editor, Asmund Highum; Grade School Editor, Rachel Frisvold; Humorist, Francis McDonald; Feature Writers—Frances Drake, Georgia Erickson; Special Reporters—Valborg Julsrud, Thora Johnson, Doris Pietsch, Torvall Sundvor, Orvilda Peterson, Virginia Otis, Ruth Richards, Martha Hoel; Faculty Advisors—Mr. Johnson and Mr. Rohweder. ' I 'HIS ORGANIZATION is one of the youngest in the High School, being organized A last year. It has been supervised by Mr. Rohweder and Mr. Johnson. This past year nine students have taken part in the Camera Club activities, an increase of two over last year. The members are as follows—William DuMond, Marjorie Ferguson, Asmund Highum, Agnes Holger, Sygne Jaastad, Truman Markegard, Clifford Olstad, Hildegard Paulson, and Thelma Ukkestad. The regular meeting of the club is held on Wednesdays, when new assignments are made for the coming week. History sheets are presented with each picture taken, showing the date the picture was taken, the time of the day, and the position of the sun. The club members have taken a variety of pictures, and the experience they have received has been both interesting and amusing. For one assignment they were told to take their own picture, without the aid of any outside assistance. At another time they were told to produce a fantastic picture, such as a horse with two heads, or a picture of a person pushing himself in a wheelbarrow. Time exposures, snow scenes, and portrait enlargements have also been made as part of their year’s activities. I CAMERA I PAGE THIRTY-TWO ) 19 3 2 THE VALLEY LEGEND “CLIMBING ROSES” Senior Class Play ' N THE evenings of May 5 and 6, the Senior Class Play was given to enthusiastic audiences. It is an excellent comedy and was well interpreted by an energetic cast. It proved a success beyond wildest dreams. The title gives but a faint idea of the cleverness of this enjoyable comedy. It is the story of a young, attractive country girl, Peggy Rose, who, through a deed of kindness to a wealthy man on a hot summer day, inherits a beautiful home in an exclusive city residential district. The intrusion of these rustics, Peggy, Uncle Jim, and Aunt Maggie, was resented in the most positive manner by their snobbish neighbors. In fact, the resentment was so cruel as to spur the Roses to fit themselves to occupy the same place as their high-hatting neighbors. To this end, they hired a combination gardener and instructor in etiquette who brought with him an assistant. They proved to be no other than America’s foremost novelist and his secretary, searching in disguise for material for a new novel. In their effort to help the despondent climbers, they introduce a prince who turns out to be triplets. After this fiasco, they plan another attempt to effect a social elevation for their proteges. Archer plans to use himself as a ladder up which the Roses shall climb to social recognition. Ah, but we have forgotten Peggy Rose, a country girl, it is true, but attractive, honest, ambitious, and—.what more could he ask? The Roses climb to recognition, Archer explains his deception, escapes the clutch of a designing maiden lady, but fails utterly to save himself and his secretary. — THE CAST OF CHARACTERS — PEGGY ROSE, a common little rosebud----------------------Frieda Peterson MAGGIE ROSE, her aunt ...............-......-.........— Elizabeth Shirven HAZEL SOMMERS, who has a fondness for orange blossoms----------------Lelah Peterson PRISCILLA PRENTICE, an unpicked dandelion---------------Florence Manion MRS.

Of these units, including staff, board, and students, no member carries the peculiar and important, but often unrecognized responsibility as is carried by that unit to which the maintenance and operation of the building and grounds is entrusted. We, o f Rushford are particularly fortunate in having the maintenance and operation of the building and grounds in the care of a man as skillful, faithful, and efficient as our engineer. Mr. Ship-stead has been with us for 13 years. During this time of uninterrupted and highly satisfactory service, he has maintained the building in the best condition possible, and the grounds in as attractive a manner as time and nature permit. The problems he has had to meet and solve are little understood nor can their difficulty be comprehended, as he speaks but little of these things. We do know, however, that he has constantly attempted to improve an already excellent service of maintenance. We see every day the results of his work in a warm, comfortable, and neatly kept building, and cheerfully rendered assistance whenever asked. We are unable more than to mention these services, but it is our earnest desire to give public recognition to Mr. Shipstead, and to extend publicly to him our sincerest gratitude for his cooperation. RUSHFORD WINS IN DECLAMATION CONTESTS Declamatory work proved a great success for Rushford this year. When the work was started this year many students showed their interest in it by taking part in the first elimination contest. The final elimination contest was held on January 25. Judges were students in advanced dramatic work from the La-Crosse Teachers’ College. In the oratorical section, John P. Anderson received first place with his selection, “The New Beatitude.” Frieda Peterson won first place in the dramatic division with the selection, “The Show Must Go On.” Elizabeth Shirven was awarded first place as humorist, giving the selection, “Jane.” On February 4, these students competed in the sub-district contest held at Peterson. The other schools competing at this contest were Houston, Lanesboro, and Peterson. Frieda received first place at this contest in the dramatic group, Lanesboro won in the oratorical contest, and the representative from Peterson won first place in the humorous division. The district contest was held at Chat-field on February 18. Frieda received second place in this contest. Caledonia won in the humorous division, and Lanesboro in the oratorical. Since many of the contestants in declamatory work will be here again next year, another successful year is looked forward to in this field. f PAGE THIRTY-FOUR ] 19 3 2 THE VALLEY LEGEM) RUSHFORD WINS NEW HONORS IN DISTRICT TYPING CONTEST The District Commercial Contest held at the Winona Senior High School on Saturday, April 16, was a great success to the commercial students this year. Orvilda Peterson won first place in beginning typewriting with a rate of 44.85 words per minhte with ten errors. Harmony received second place with 44.84 words, and Preston was awarded third place with 43.08 wrords. Edythe Iverson received seventh. In advanced typewriting, Spring Valley received first place with a rate of 57 words. Winona received second with 56 words. Rushford received the next two places, Margaret Peterson making 55.94 words, and Florence Johnson making 54.26 words. In advanced shorthand, Florence Johnson won fifth place with a percentage of 95. The highest percentage in this contest was 98. The schools competing were as follows: Chatfield, Lake City, Lewiston, Preston, Red Wing, Spring Valley, St. Charles, Harmony, Winona. Stewart-ville, Wabasha, Caledonia and Rushford. Altogether, we think that the results of the contest are very gratifying, and Rushford is still keeping up the record which she set last year. Miss Helen Penschuck is the instructor of these contest-winning commercial students. FRESHIES AND SENIORS EXCHANGE PARTIES On October 9, the upperclassmen held a party in honor of that lowly class—the Freshies. The freshmen all came chewing gum, that act being requested of them by their hosts and hostesses. Much to their surprise, they were told to take their gum and place it on their nose, and in its place they received a liberal amount of wax. A program was held in the gymnasium, each freshman participating in this program. The freshies served the lunch which was prepared by the sophomores. On January 15, after months of waiting, the freshmen entertained the upperclassmen. They presented a very interesting program, which was as follows: vocal solo by Margaret Budmon; piano solo by Doris Pietsch; songs by a group of nine girls; humorous selection. Mar- | jorie Skarstad; songs by Kenneth Ekern. i After the program, various games ' were played and a lunch was served. | The freshmen proved themselves capable • hosts and hostesses. 1 HUMOR | Mrs. Stehly—What is the most important J organ in the body? , Frank Me.—The teeth.
