Text from Pages 1 - 106 of the 1938 volume:

Published by the SENIOR Clu.SS LUSK FORD I IGII SCl.OOL RUSHFORD, L'INNESO'L. Our experiences in high schocl are memories now, to bo cherished by us always. These years form a considerable pert of the background of our lives. This annual will remind us in the future of the he.pay days to which we are saying goodbye. The yours vfe've had. together remind us that Music, when soft voices die, Vibr..tos in the memory; Odors, when sw et violets vic’.ron. Live within the sense they quicken. In nil ages and at all tines, there are those who seek new lands and break now trails. Centuries ago, the urge to find those lands and to blaze such trails brought to tho shores of our hoir.isphere an intrepid explorer. His venture, rated a failure at tho time, marked tho boginning of a mighty pioneering migration which was destined to achievo great things. Tho ronnr.tic story of tho explorer, tho missionary, tho trader, and the sottlor—our forefathers is a natter of history now. In tho human forgo of their experiences wc.3 shaped a certain irdomitcblo spirit vrhosc watchword was freedom. Such is the American tradition and heritage. To those courageous pioneers, seekers after now lands and breakers of now trails, wo, tho Senior Class of Rushford High School, do humbly dedicate this publication, the Valloy Legend of 1930. Spirit, that made those heroes dare To dio, and Ica-.'c their children free Eid Tine and Nature gently spare The present school yc r has been without doubt the busiest cno in tho history of Itushford high School.

Since the year of 1938 is the eightieth birthday of Minnesota's statehood. The Valley Legend, published by the Senior Class of 1938 is dedicated to the pioneers. Therefore we feel that it is most fitting and proper to include in our publication, some of the early events of Rushford’s history. For the items appearing below, we are indebted to Stevens Memorial Library, The Rushford State Bank, and Mrs. Mary Manley Layne. Most of the accounts were written by T. H. Everts (Rushford Star, 1873) and Mary I. Cameron West. The first white man who seems to have appreciated and became enamoured of the precise spot where the Rushford of today is built, was E. K. Dyer, a native of Amorica and a sea-captain from the state of Maino— 'a Konebee Coaster'. Mr. Dyer, his wifo, and one child come to LaCrosse in August of 1852. In September they went to Houston by flat-boat where they made a olaim and lived about two weeks in a shanty made of brush covered and banked with clay, Mr. Dyer soon sold the claim and in November moved farther up tho Valley to what is now Cushing's Peak, namod after the first claimant and in whoso house tho two families lived during the winter. Mr. Dyer made another claim near the Peak, but in the spring of 1853 sold it and moved westward to what is now the city of Rushford. Here he made a claim, built a rail shanty, broke up a small piece of ground, and cut and put up hay. In the fall he returned to Houston and, with his family, went into the timber to live in a shanty to get out black walnut logs About the first part of March, 1854, they heard from the Indians that their claim at Rushford was in danger of being jumped, so they packed up their goods and on the following morning started west with an ox-team and reached their destination before sun-down. Luckily, they were able to get across the river on the thin ice. Here they lived in a rail shanty until they built their log-house. (The location of this house was at the west end of the prepent city park, and northeast of the present Guild House. It stood on land that is now usod as a street.) They were comfortable but lonely at first with no human beings to be soon except the Indians, who roamed up and down the Valloy and who made froquont calls in quest of food which they shared liberally with them’1 Early in the spring of 1854 another ’voyager' upon the great tide of emigration, riding its most advanced northwestern wave, driftod into this charming Valley, and being a man of sense, he concluded there was no better place to stop forever. Joseph Otis, the second man who located upon the town sito of Rushford, come afoot and alone from LaCrosse whore he had been working for two years as a millwright. Mr. Otis ’located1 on a claim adjoining Dyer land. The government survey, though begun, was not yet porfoctod at this point, and there was some guessing about the lines, but the Creek served to separate them in a general way, Otis taking the east, and Dyer the west side, In the month of June, two families arrived from 'Wisconsin, those of Duncan Cameron and Roderick McLeod, who settled on farms in Rush Creek valloy near and north of the present city0, When Mr. Otis returned to LaCrosse he gave such glowing accounts of the- Root River Valley that his brother-xn-law, S. S. Stebbins (Mrs. Stebbins and Mrs. Otis wore sisters), who was operating a store there, decided to sell his business and accompany Mr. Otis to investigate the Upper Forks as it was then called. V In July, Otis and Stebbins on horseback reached ushford whore Mr. StobLins bought a claim from Mr. Dyer for $75. This claim Mr, Dyer profossed to be holding for a friend, and on it he had built a cabin. The cabin on this land stood on tho corner of Grove and Mill strocts. This cabin was next to the first dwelling-houso in Rushford, the first hotel, first meeting-house, first store, and first postofficc . When Mr. Otis and Mr. Stobbins wore returning from LaCrosse to thoir claims in August, 1854, they met a party of eight men on a land-seeking tour from Onalaska, Wisconsin. After reaching here by a long circuitous route, all the Onalaska men except two decided that they had scon enough to Minnesota and returned to thoir homos. Hiram Walker, one of the men was a very enterprising and progressive person who saw tho possibilities of starting a town here . After Mr. Walker had boon up with a hired man named Meacham and put up the walls of a house, he returned to Onalaska again, and sot out with Roswoll Valentine and Joseph Poase in a canoe to explore Root River, and determine its navigability as far as the Upper Forks . I ir. Walker soon utilizod the water power on the land which ho como to possess. By tho spring of 1855 he had a saw-mill in operation. Ho also built a grist-mill which he bogan to run in 1857. Some years later he built a woolen mill and foundry . In tho month of May, 1855, throe inoro homo-sookors arrived—W. i. Snell, Solomon tVost, and Goorge West--from Massachusetts. In tho spring of � 56 Mr. G. G. Stevens arrived from St. Charles, Illinois. During tho same summer several families arrived from the oast, The first religious meeting held after Mr. Snell's arrival was a prayer-meeting at the home of Duncan Cameron, near the city cemetery. The house was of logs, sod-covered, with earth for a floor and hay for a carpet to kneel upon. The prayers offered up were in two languages, the Scotch Gaelic and English. On the following Sunday, he held religious services at the house of Mr. Stebbins. One of the first religious organizations in Rush-ford was that of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Reverend David Tice organized it in 1860, and it flourished for some thirty years. The church building was constructed in the same year that the church was organized, and is still standing, but it has long since been converted into a dwelling-houso. (it is known as the Eide house, and is now owned by the 0. H. haasaruds.) There were a good many of the Methodist faith in the early days of Rushford. During the most active period of this church, the Reverend M. 0. liacNiff was the pastor. The Presbyterian Church bell is not only Rushford's oldest boll, but it is said to bo the first bell metal brought west of the Mississippi River. The Reverend Mr. Snell, thor. nastor of the church (it was of Congregational denomination then) took the small sum that had been raised by the Ladies' Aid Society, collected some more from the citizens hero, and went east whore he succeeded in raising sufficient funds to buy the bell. 'William Cullen Bryant, tho American author, was one of the contributors. The bell was bought in Massachusetts, and shipped to aCrosso. It was brought from there by team by Reuben YJhittemore, my brother-in-law (by Mary Cameron Tfest). Hugh Lampuian rang the bell for tho first time on Christmas Eve in 1860. Mr. Lampman had built the belfry. The Luthern Church parish was organized in 1855 and was incorporated in 1861. Reverend Jensen, tho first pastor, served from 1859 to 1868 . The first school district organized in the town was in the spring of 57 and is now known as the Tenborg school. This school was taught by Miss Martha Emery in the basement of her father's house. There were fourteen scholars in attendance. The first school in the city in the winter of '57-8 was a private one of half-day session, taught by Mrs. Henry Mead in her home. The house stood where the Presbyterian parsonage now stands. The next school term was a term of three months in the spring of '58, taught by Miss Jane Waters in a slab claim-shanty owned by a widow, Mrs. Nims. She taught for the Magnificent sum of $15 per month, and boarded with her cousin, Mrs. Snell, whom she assisted with house-work to pay for her board. In the summer of '58, the first school-house was built in this city, a part of which is now the Lloyd Crandall residence. Miss Waters was engaged to teach the school during the winters of '58 and '59. The seats were long benches on either side of the room, and without desks. The boys sat on one side and the girls on the other. The following twenty-four scholars were in attendance: Thomas Snell, Fremont and Edelbert Phibriek, Frank Hulbert, Myron Walker, Albert Woodworth, George Otis, Gamaliel Nowcomb, Eric Iverson, Byron Knapp, John Lenvig, John McLeod, Duncan and Mary Cameron, Hattie Stebbins, Eva Walker, Josephine and Emma McAdams, May Stevens, Mary Otis, Elizabeth and Martha Blanchfield, Louisa Woodworth, and Mathilda Peterson. We had some very severe storms that winter, and I have a kind recollection of Mr. Stevens sending his man and team to take the scholars to their homes at such times . (By Mary Cameron West) Our first blacksmith and plow-maker was Isaac Anderson who settled on the north side of Rush Creek in the fall of 54. He brought the first horse. G. S. West brought the first buggy in the fall of '54, and it was the first vehicle driven over the territorial road to Chatfield after the survey . The first frame house was b iilt by E. B. Vnalrath for S. S. Btcnnons and is now occupied by George James and family. The old Walker house was the second one, and stands oast of the John Filler home. C. G. Hulbert was Rushford1s first postmaster under Prosident Buchanan. He was removed by President Lincoln and Hiram Yialker was appointed in his stead. The office for a good many years was kept in Mr. Walker's house which still stands and is now S, Jaastad’s home. When the long-awaited railroad was built in 1867 to Rushford, it ran through what was then a portion of Georgo Steven's cornfield. In 1867, the first newspaper, the Rushford Gazette, made its appearance. S. J. Brown was the editor, and S. S. Stebbins later became a partner. The paper changed hands several times and lived about a year. The Rushford Era was started in 1869 by Frank H. Stout who moved to Kansas in 1870. Then the Journal was in existence from 1871 to 1873, and was edited by Willis Osborne. The first store was built by Otis Bathrick in the early spring of 1856. Another was built a little later by T. G. Fladeland. The first carpenters were Joshua Emery and Enock Walworth who settled here in '56. The first shoe-maker was John Iverson who did business in '58-9 in a little shop west of the Presbyterian Parsonage on the land now owned by C. C. Jenson. The first stone-mason was Edward Blanchfield . Soon after Christman Mr. Dyer was appointed Justice of the Peace and performed a marriage for a Mr. Halvor Sennes and the lady ho chose for his partner in life. The first marriage by a minister of the gospel was in tho spring of '60 when the Rov, Vi. W, Snoll united in marriage Charles W. Gore and Martha Bartley, the second marriage by Rev. Snell was that of George West and Mary I. Cameron in July, 1860. '03d About the first of July, 1854, it began to rain and on the 5th there was one of the greatest floods in the recollection of the older Indians. It swept everything bofore it. After the flood, the odor from decaying vegotation was almost intolerable. Typhoid fever and ague raged among the settlers in tho Valley. In the lattor part of August, typhoid fevor in its most malignant form onterod Mr. Dyer's home taking first a little girl whom they had adopted the spring before. She was sick about a week. The night she died, their son was taken sick and Mr. Dyer was feeling so poorly that he had to go to bed, so with sickness and death Mrs. Dyer was alone until daylight when Mr. Dyer managed to go to their nearest neighbor, Mrs. Cameron, who came and prepared the little girl for burial. Mr. Dyer went to the south side of the river and found a man who made a coffin and assisted him in burying her. She died on a Saturday night, and on the next Thursday night, little Wallace died. He was buried the next night at midnight. The funeral procession consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Dyer, Mrs. Webster, and two Norwegian men who helped them with the burial. A prayer was offered up in Norwegian by one of the grave-diggers which was comforting to the mourners, although they couldn't understand a word of it. They walked to and from the graves which are on a little hill wrest of the present city of Rushford. During the fall of '54, the question rose as to naming the places and several names were suggested but none decided on until Christmas when Mrs. Dyer made a Christmas supper, December 25, 1854, and invited the whole population. Then and there they decided the name. Mr. Dyer proposed Pomfrct (the Dyers cone from Pomfret, Maine), Mrs. Walker, Rushford for the abundance of rushes that grew along the creek and ford for the ford crossing of tho river. On the back of this page is a copy of the original document made at the time that Rushford was named. The names of the people present at this function appear there except those of Mr. and Mrs. Clark Johnson who went home early on account of a very young baby whom they didn't wish to koep up too late. The babies' name was Charles, and, at present, he is living with his son, Ambrose Johnson, a short distance west of town. (This information was supplied to us by Mrs. Ed. Lampman, a sister of Charles Johnson.) Oco----------------------Ji )■ t A. A But To-day well-lived Kakes every Yesterday A Dream of Happiness, And every To-morrow a Vision of Hope.

It was in September, 1926, that twenty-eight wee six-year olds began the study of the three R's under tho supervision of Miss Elsie Magelssen Those who began their school careers at that time were: Carl Lyle Anderson Harry Arnold Charlotte Blanchfield Mary Bodin Richard Rrunnor Bertram ChiIson Abigail Clayton Hubert Cordos Holen Cummings Hattie Mao Ebner James Prisvold Gertrude Hanson Marian Haugan Meredith Highum Henry Hoiland Elna Jelborg Judith Johnson Otto Julsrud Francis Johnson Holen Lee Ernost Overland Wilton Poterson Robort Rislovo Phyllis Skarstad John Stensing Margaret Stonsing Ralph Swcningson Raymond Tesch Aftor seven yoars of study wo finally reached the eighth grade. By this time we had lost twelve mombors: Harry Arnold Mary Bodin Richard Brunnor Bubort Cordos Helen Cummings Marian Haugan Henry Hoiland Ernest Overland John Stonsing Margaret Stensing Ralph Sweningson Raymond Tesch Earl Bladino David Boyum Norman Ebncr Claronco Eskolson Vornon James Walter Johnson Tilman Woxland Maxino Larson Irvin Laumb Adelaide Marker Bruce Skarstad Doris Vignoss La Vaughn Worra Miss Thora Magolsson guided us in our work through this grade, our last in olemontary school. After a brief vacation wo oamo back fifty-four strong to enter high school as Freshmen in the fall of 1934, We were proud thon because vro had the honor of boing the largest class which is a rocord that wo havo maintained oven to graduation.

Introductions to the following teachors were made: Miss Holsingor Miss Somingson Mr, Bohmlor Mr, Hanson Miss Turnacliff Mr, Rohwoder Mrs. Stohly After wo had been in school about two wooks, tho Seniors took ovor their responsibility of initiating us. How comical it looked to see tho girls wearing thoir drosses back-side front and abovo thoir knoes and also largo grocn ribbons in their hair, or to see the boys wearing thoir shirts back-sido front. Tho boys also polished the shoos of tho boys of tho upper classos, Tho Soniors also insisted that wc saluto thorn whenever wo met thorn. That was difficult bocauso we didn't knew just who were Seniors, Wo became tired of doing thoae things for tho Soniors sc we abolishod them. facos while the boys walkod barefooted for the afternoon In this unbecoming attire wo wore forcod to march into tho assembly through the front door to our respoctivo seats That was our punishment. Then came tho initiation party at which wo put on a style show for the upper classmon. Bruce Skarstad impersonated a junglo man and received first prize while Hattie Mao Ebnor, as Mae Wost, rocoived second prize. Wo really onjcyod this part of tho initiation. In spite cf tho fact that tho Seniors had initiated us, wo gave them a return party later in fall. At tho end of tho year we had a class picnic at Myric Park at LaCrosse. At last tho unpleasantness of being freshmen was over. We ontorod school as sophomores tho following fall Miss Siobcrt, Miss Brohaugh, Miss Lund, Mr Cochran, Mr Goli, Mr. Santlcman raplacod Miss Hol-singor. Miss Turnacliff, Miss Somingson, Mr. Rohwodor and Mr. Behmlor We now lookod curiously at tho Freshman for we regardod ourselves as uppor-classmon. Orville Anderson Phyllis Johns Emma Engrav Maxine Larson Clifford Hatlovig Neil McManimon A This year wo again hold our class picnic at Myric Park in LaCrosse. That seems to be a favorite spot with us I don't know whether it's becauso wo liko to watch tho antics of the members of tho zoo, or bocauso the monkies like to watch us. Timo wont by quickly and before we realized it we were back in school «.ftor the summer as Juniors. Miss Orfiold roplacod Miss Siobort on the faculty. We missed tho following olass members in tho fall: Bernice Anderson Hattie Mae Ebner Agnes Hagen Charlotte Hool Elna Jelberg Helen Johns Irvin Laumb Phyllis Skarstad Adelaide Marker Henry Smith of 'Woodstock, Illinois, decided to cast “his lot with us during the first semester and Elida Bratland also joined our ranks. At tho end of this year we not only attended but gave tho first reception hold in tho new school auditorium, the occasion being tho Junior-Senior Prom. This reception really is something to bo rememborod by all who wore present. The theme used was Swing. It is tho first time that high-school studnots danced at a school function. Tho music was furnished by Rob Reishus' orchestra. Everyone seoned to enjoy tho evening. Our class enjoyed its annual picnic in Winona. I'm sure the inmatos of the Myric Park Zoo missed us this year. Last fall wo entered tho assembly as honored and important Seniors. At last, we were the loading class and could sit by the windows. Walter Johnson, Eldious Schiobstad and Bruce Skatstad doserted us this year. Miss Kramer, Miss Knnno, and Mr, Carlson replaced Miss Brohaugh, Miss Lund and Mr. Ooli as teachers. The activities of our last year have kept us all busy. On March 26 we motored to Lonosboro in the school bus and had our pictures taken. We tried to mkc this a picnic, oven though we had to face the camera. Wo did learn from this experience that Meredith Highum is a cake-bakar and David Boyum a salad-maker, and that both are salnd-oators. As a class flower we choso tho Ophelia rose, our class colors are yollow and white, and our motto is Wo Finish to Bogin. Wo had the usual discussion regarding invitations and cards. Clarence , as our class play, was presented to a large audienco on the evening of April 29. Our Senior Day wo decided to take on May 12. Tho school bus carriod us t o tho campus of Luther Collogo where wo along with many other Seniors from surrounding schools wore ontertainod by Luther College iii r. fine fashion. The only thing that marred a perfect day was tho worry that we had over whether Olive Mindrum would return with us or not. Wo havo boon invited to nttond tho Junior-Senior Prom on May 21. We understand that Snow-White and Tho Seven Dwarfs is to bo the theme. Wo anticipate a royal ontertainment as tho Juniors have boon saving ponnios for throo years and havo boon working for wooks. Instead of tho regular Class Day Program this year, wo decided to havo our class day oxorcises as an assembly program. Tho spring’s activities have boon so numerous that most of us welcome tho change. Baccalauroato services will bo held on tho evening of May 29 in tho School Auditorium. Revorond Georgo Stanley, the local Presbyterian minister, will doliver tho somoru Music will bo furnished by local school organizations. After taking our examinations, all thirty-five of us hopo to receive our diplomas on the evening of Juno 3. Dr. Waltor Anglund, tho scerotary of tho Minnesota Educational Association, will bo the Commencement speakor. With this last activity, the Class of 1938 which is tho fifty-sixth to gradunto frem Rushford High School, must say Farowoll to high-school clays. tVe the Senior Class of 1938, Rushford High School, being of disposing mind and joyous memory do hereby improvise and ordain this, our first will, and devise as sincerely as is seniorically possible to dispose of' our personal interests and belongings to the succeeding beneficiaries.

The interpretation of the play was well received by a large audience. The story of the play centers around Clarence , a returned soldier, who is seeking a place for himself in the social and economic reconstruction following the World War. He was taken in, finally, by a Mr. Wheeler, a big business man who also had plenty of domestic problems. In Mr. Wheeler's home, Clarence displayed his versatile abilities to bocome the handy-man about the place. In turn, ho tuned a piano, ran the boss’ typewriter, fixed the heating plant, to say nothing of oiling the domestic machinery of the Wheeler household. Much to the surprise of the family, it is finally dis-closod that Clarence , boforo the war, was an expert entomologist whose special field had won for him recognition in Who's Vfho . Tho incidents and ovonts relating to Clarence being taken into this family, how he won their respect and love, and how he finally made known his idontity form many humorous situations.

Then we joyously marched into the assembly and took our rightful places which wc have since occupied. Our class is well represented in extra-curricular activities.

Dear Seniors: There are some things we should like to tell you about the Freshmen of 1938, the seniors-to-be of 1941, Of course, we know you remember us as we entered forty-one strong, or should we say weak, on September sixth. We dreaded to think of tho initiation of shoe-shining and green-ribbon wearing; but perhaps because you judged all of our sizes by that of Carol Colbenson, tho policy of initiation was altered and we wish to thank you for it. Although v e did have to furnish the program for the party that you gave us, we had an interesting time practicing for it and appreciated the help of Miss Orfield, Mrs. Stehly, and Mr. Cochran in preparing a successful program for the upper classmen. enjoyabla -evening playing group games. In December e a 'in got the party fever, so we gave the return-party. Each class provided a number for the program of entertainment. Since it was the Christmas season, there were two beautifully decorated Christmas trees and of course, Santa Claus gave presents to some of his favorites. it We hope that you have noticed the: numerous Freshmen taking part in school activities. There were three boys who ver awarded letters in athletics, a 1 there were others from the class who participated. Paul Eggen and Irvin Jenson received letters in basket' ball, while Donald Stehly received one in football. Betty Anderson, Vernon Eskelson, and Emma Vig-ness took part in the declamatory contest. We thir they were brave, don’t you? 3esides these special activities, many have been active in G.A.A., Dramatic Club, Glee Clubs, Mixed Chorus, Ripples and Band. We hope that as you Seniors go out into life, you may have the best of luckl We trust that we may do our share, as you have done, to make Rush-ford High School a better plr.co in which to spend four happy years of school-life.

OFFICERS President______________ —Beulah Johnson Vice-President—----------------Jack Berg Secretary————————------—Dorothy Larson Treasurer-----————--------------—Betty Anderson Advisors-----------Miss Kanne and Mr. Sand A J good 'f ootb'.ll season this year, After the first few practices everyone was convinced that in spito of tho loss we had some good material left. As our first opponent was a newly-formed team from Caledonia, we expected to he able to defeat them with little difficulty. When we heard the gun announcing the end of the game we were really positive that we had a swell team. Yes, we trounced the Caledonians by the overwhelming score of 47-0. On Saturday, October 2, our boys were supposed to be entertained, or wo might say trampled on, over at Winona, where we were to play Winona High1s second team. Due to weather and other conditions this game was called off, s$ it is hard to distinguish either a win or a loss. October 8 found our boys playing host to the husky bunch of chaps from Lewiston, These boys seemed a bit too tough at the beginning, but before the game was through they had let our boys through their goalline door twice, making a score of 13, while they were allowed to enter our door but once to bring in 7 points. On October 15 the Green and Gold eleven Journeyed to Lanesboro to meet the team that wont through the season without being scored on. This was the first night game in which wo had ever played, and this, together with the immensity of size in the Lanesboro lineup, brought about a blistering defeat of 26-0. Every- ono agreed on the point that the score didn't do justice to the real points of the game. This was a very close-fought tattle. Even Laneshoro admitted that. In a fighting mood our hoys cane hack and trounced our rivals from Chat-field the next vTeek, October 20. ,'.t the half the score stood 6-0 in favor of Chatfield, hut during the last half our hoys marched over twice to make a score of 14-6. On October 29, Kirkehy s hoys from Preston came down to receive a 7-0 defeat from our golden eleven. The game was played on a very warn day thus the hoys didn t push over for very many points. Preston's hoys, it is said, played their host hall of the season on this day, hut our stalwart line and sturdy hackfield could not he moved for a counter. November 5 is a day, in our football memories, that we should all try to forget. On this afternoon the very strong and powerful, undefeated team from Plainview came down to pound out a 25-7 victory over cur treen and Gold. The hoys from Plainview wero a much larger team and had a few hardened and experienced hoys in it to make them a very strong team. Although tho score shows a decided victory for Plainview, we feel that our hoys put up a real battle and we hope that next year we will he able to turn the tables on them. To finish off the season tho way it should he done, our hoys journeyed over to Harmony ivhere they administered a crushing defeat to our rivals. Although it Ww.s . Armistice day, November eleventh, our hoys didn't show much sign of stopping or slowing up the battle, consequently the game ended 19-6 in favor of the good old Green and Gold. As I was digging hack into the du3ty accounts of our 1937 football games and brought out the wins, losses etc. I made a startling discovery. Not only had we won five games, hut the two, which we lost, were played with undefeated teems. This shows that ur team held second place in the district with only Laneshoro out in. front. Although it hurts to see Laneshoro in that position, we I 4 Av f £ must remember that we, in the last few years, have defeated them in every kind of sporting contest, so it is about their turn to win. Of the twenty-three boys who reported regularly for practice throughout the football season, ten are Seniors. Captain James Humble, Clair Katlevig, Duce Chilson, Leslie Hovde, David Boyum, Tupen Johnson, Melvin Dolalie, Earl Blad-ine, Clarence Eskelson, and Robert Overland, Most of these boys were first stringers so we see that next year a new bunch of boys must make their debut. The Juniors also had a good representation, eight in all: Norman Ebner, Joseph Johnson, Rank Holland, Maurice Jahr, Vernon James, Carl Byboth, Bruce Skar-stad, and Warren Aygarn. This group, alone, would make a tough team next year and when we add the Sophomores and Freshmen: Llewellyn Hatleli, Milton Jacobson, Don- ald Stehly and AlQrt Jorgens, we feel that wc should do as well as we did this year. We want to remember that it takes 3pme promising new material and a good coach to make a good team when Our boys started the season off with a tang by dewaini; Fetersen by the score' of 34-9 cn Kowember 30.

The Juniors wero represented by horman Ebnor, hGnry Hoiland, and Bruce Skarstad. iheso beys will give us some fine ball-playing next year we know because they did splendid work this year. The Sophomores contributed to our socond team by adding Milton Jacobson, Fortran Hovland, Styrk Isberg, and Sonny Lco. Those boys arc large enough to mako a big, strong, and powerful teem in the next two years. A The Freshmon had the honor of donating two very able young players who saw quite a little service this yoar and will most likely be regulars next year. Paul Eggon and rvin Jensen wore of groat help all through the season. From the eighth grado we discovered great talent in John Ole Stevens and Sidney Arnold. Those boys • . weren't in the line up at the beginning of tho yoar but when they come out and showed their stuff they —- ' V - N (T sx p , £ I N. 1 d) z) 0o° ' '-f i i' mi. wuru gxvvii i ■'� w — — —o- two boys together with Rod Iverson will make up strong offense on the team noxt yeftr Rod is another good player that made our second team one of the strongest in the district. Lot's have another toast to a great team and a great coach here's to youl . 13 % I 1 1 iEB % QL !_ v flhen Mr. Sand called baseball practice this spring he was greeted by six letter-men and nineteen others.

On April 29, the boys defeated Preston by the score of 8-3. Leslie Hovdo showed style on the mound by allowing only four hits while he struck out fourteen men. On May 3, Mabel came to Rushford to receive a beating to the tune of 8-4. Leslie again showed 3kill when he allowed only 6 hits and struck out eight batters. On May 6, the boys .journeyed to Chatfield whore they almost skunked their hosts by the decisive score of 22-2. Again Hovde did some nice work. Chilson, Hatlevig, Boyum, and Skarstad did most of the hitting. On May 10, the boys treked out of town again. This time they played a very close game with TTykoff and ended out on top of a score of 4-3. On May 13, (unlucky Friday), the boys took a beating from Lanesboro, our most hated rivals when they were defeated 5-1. This was the first game played with Lanesboro and we all feel that we'll win tho next one. There are two games to be played yet-ono with Preston on May 20, and the last one of the season will be played with Lanesboro there. Good luck, boysl 1 with the Glee Clubs and Band, presented five school programs.

Necessarily this record is based on five terms of work. By classes the honor-roll students are: FRESHMEN SOPHOMORES Donald Henze Marian Iverson Beulah Johnson Alert Jorgens Grace Nordgaard Betty Peterson Emma Vigness JUNIORS Karl Byboth Bertram Colbenson Catherine Colbenson Opal Johnson Ruth Kjos Helen Colbenson Margorie Himlie Styrk l3berg Joyce Johnson Carol Lee Lillian Otis Bornice aamen Donald Rockne SENIORS David Bo; um Elizabeth Crandall James Frisvold Gertrude Eanson Francis Johnson Ruth Olstad Robert Overland Carolyn Wifall Ruth 01stad Elizabeth Crandall Gertrude Hanson David Boyum Francis Johnson James Frisvold These ranks indicate that Ruth Olstad is Valedictorian and Gertrude Hanson, Salutatorian. RATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY A chapter of the National Honor Society, an organization of national scope, was established in our school during the school year of 1930-1. In order to be eligible to membership a senior must meat the requirements of scholarship, character, service, and leadership for which the Society stands. The election is made by a faculty committee. In past years, it has been the custom to have the initiation into the Society in the Library of our school. This year, however, since several other schools in the district had installed chapters, the superintendents of the schools concerned thought that a joint initiation would be proper. Preston extended an invitation to the other schools to hold an initiation banquet and ceremony. Superintendents, principals, and about fifty students from the represented schools were present. Since the Rushford chapter is the oldest one, Mrs. Stehly was honored by being asked to be the Installing officer. She was assisted by the Principals from the other schools. The members of the Rushford chapter who were initiated at Preston are: David Boyum, Elizabeth Crandall, James Frisvold, Francis Johnson, and Ruth Kjos (Junior member). Ruth Olstad was initiated last year as a Junior. OTHER AWARDS The American Legiop award is given on the same basis as the National Honor Society except that they take into consideration the quality of courage as well as the other four qualities mentioned. This year the awards go to Francis Johnson and Ruth Olstad. The Citizenship award stresses service to the school, and takes into consideration the qualities on which the other awards are based. The two boys who merited the awards this year are: Meredith Highum and Robert Rislove. The Minnesota Colleges Scholarship award is given to the boy and girl who rank highest in the class-Francis Johnson and Ruth Olstad, respectivily. The Reader's Digest magazine offers a year's subscription to the highest ranking student in every graduating class in the U. S. Ruth Olstad is the recipient in Rushford's Class of 1938. The Club meets twice every month for the purpose of stimulating interest in all sports and for the girls to get together socially.

OFFICERS OF THE CLUB: President----------------------Fay Habborstad Vice-President---------------------------Anno Ukkestad Socrctary-------------------------------Loris Vigness Treasurer------------------------------Judith Johnson Supervisor—-------------------- Miss Schaum A change in the procedure of publishing the Ripples was affected this year. Formerly, the school news was printed in the local paper. Beginning with the October 5 issue, the school news appeared in mimeographed form, the work being done in our own commercial department. The small charge of one cent a copy to students was made to cover the cost of materials. The paper was made available to subscribers in town at the rate of 25 cents per year. The new Ripples appears on Tuesday of each week, and has been popular both in school and town, STAFF MEMBERS FOR THE YEAR: Editor-----—-----------Elizabeth Crandall Business Editor--- - -Ruth Olrtad Production Editor-------Ruth Kjos Humor Editors----------Fay Habberstad Anne Ukkestad Charlotte Blanchfield Sports Editor---------—Meredith Highum Art Editor-----———Nita Crandall Special reporters: Betty Anderson, David Boyum, Karl Byboth, Bertha Arm Cottrell, Clair Hatlevig, Donald Iverson, Opal Johnson, Ann Meriam, Robert Ris-love, Donald Rockne, Donald Skarstad, Marcella Skar-stad, Doris bigness, Emma Vigness During the school year we had the pleasure of attending a number of school parties. The first one, on October first, was given for the Freshmen by the other three classes. It was an enjoyable party and set an example for following parties. After the party was over it appeared that the Freshmen had really done all the work, but this, no doubt, was proper since the party really was their initiation . They arranged a very entertaining program, the highlight of which was a dancing contest, Llewellyn Hatleli and Helen Lee were judged the best couple. The next party really was given by the Freshmen on December 14, This was the return party. Each class in high school, contributed to the program. The slimax came in the form of Santa Claus (Otto Julsrud) who gave some of the good boys and girls presents. Someone referred to tho next party as, the social success of tho soason, This event took place in February. An impromptu song fost by the boys got ovoryono into the right spirit. This party was given as a reward to the Seniors for soiling tho most basketball tickets. Everyone participated in gomes but whnn the dancing began tho boys all hurried off tho floor. Last, but not least of the nil-high school parties, v;as given on May 13, by all the high school students in honor of oursolvos. Wo played games, danced, drank punch, and had a very good time. A The most important social function of all (at least to us) was given on Saturday evening May 21, when the Juniors entertained tho Seniors at the annual Prom „ Tie knew that tho Juniors had been busy of late, out we had no idea that they hid done so much in the way of decorating, The theme they chose was Snow White and tho Seven Dwarfs . This motif was carried out in ell the faioos and decorations, and in the program It was very well and cleverly done. The toastmaster for the occasion vras Eliot Qualy who seemed very much at ease, Responses were made by Katherine Overlaid, Junior-Glass President, s-erodith Highvan, Senior-Close President, kiss X r.nc, hr. Hammer, and 1-r■ Hansom Aftor the banquet, the tables were cleared end danc:.rg was preceded by a grund march. Games wore played by thoso who did not dance We must all agree that the Juniors treated all royally, and wc shall remember May 21 as one of tho most enjoyable evenings of our Senior year. Wo prevailed upon hiss ncnne to lot us use her toast to tho Seniors, so here it is: Just Dopey has finally learned to talk. And to tho world it's a terrible shock. For something went wrong whon he lcarnod a tongue. It must have boon a cord ho sprun . And ail lie could do was talk in rhyme. And that was off b.at ha'f of the time. Now Dopey gets plenty of funny spoils When he oomos right out and .seniors's secrets tolls And so as he racks his poor little bean Ho tolls us some of the things he lias soon, Iopoy is in a vary questioning mood So let's see whit’s bothering this poor little dudo. These are some of tho things ho hus asked of me: Did you by any chance happen to see? Otto Jv.lsrud without his girl. Or David. Boyum without a curl? Jamos Frisvold without books. Or Charlotte Blanchfield without good looks? y V Molvin Dolalio with a swoot little dame, Or Clarence missing a baseball game? Ruth Olstad without her lesson. Or Jemes Humblo not in on football session? Gortrude Henson without something to say. Or Clair Hatlovig without his Freshman Ray? Abigail blushing with all hor might Vilhon Carlson said, Oh, she'3 all right ? Wilton flunking a typing tost. Or over giving the girls a rest? Gilma Nordness not trying awfully hard. Or Milford 0olbenson giving his lessons the discard? Irono Gilbortson not learning some play part Forgetting that to got lessons would bo smart? But some more it seems there be Whom we have yet failed to seo. So let's go back to days of old. And soe what there is that wo can behold. And hero's whore wo leave our pootic rhyme For to Dopey it soomed to much the sublime But horo again Just Dopoy changed his mind. Ho thought perhaps people likod things of this kind And so Sneczy he asked to give such a blow That things would unfold of the long, long ago Judy played house with hor toddy bear and doll. And Carl Lyle did all the little girls enthrall Elizabeth Crandall was afraid of tho boys. And Loslie Kovdo had tho cutest littlo toys Joo Christopherson was such a littlo shrimp. And Francis Johnson on his lessons would skimp. Helen Hoe was afraid to play with tho boys. And Elida Bratland couldn't make any dumb noise (Typing orror, drum noise ) Carolyn Wifall wore coveralls to play in While Ruth Sandlie learned what to put in a pie-tin Tub could only play on tho linoleum. While Olive Mindrum had to loarn to chew gun. Robert Ovorland his pencil had not. And Earl was such a swoet littlo tot. Rib didn't have a tongue so glib. While Duco used to wear a littlo pink bib. Ruth was without hor little sister Mary, While Katherine Jacobson danced like a fairy And last but not least our little Doris Vigness Hoped that she would get a share of bigness. y D _ D -«.] Schoo' Opens Sept. $ p n football 13 1115 I'l r T V, f fast i fnVT V' Qj S d nJ S ° S I0Y 1 v e bo Co vi«. f r v MAc!
