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 The lurking shadows have shamefully withdrawn.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.

„ THE VALLEY LEGEND NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Scholarship Character Leadership Service THIS NATIONWIDE organization is for the recognition of the best achievements attained in high school, and is without question the greatest honor that can be offered to any high school student. 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. This year the following students were elected: Seniors: RACHEL FRISVOLD VALBORG JULSRUD FLORENCE JOHNSON ASMUND HIGHUM Juniors: ORVILDA PETERSON SYGNE JAASTAD 19 3 2 I PACK TWENTY-FIVE )
