It is the aim of the 1°47 Valley Legend to offer a yearbook, which will be keot and cherished by e-ch student for years to come. The Valley Legend has attempted to synthesize every ohase of school activity in its rages; it hones to oresent an informal view of the various features of school life and become a living monument of Jhappy school days. We, the seniors of 1947, take great pride in dedicating our annual to Mrs. Cyrus Hatleli. In the fall of 1944, Mrs. Hatleli returned to her duties on the faculty of R. H. S. She has been a very influential personality in steering us to higher goals. As our English instructor, she has brought a hidden rare quality to all of our work, enabling us to better understand the detailed aspects of the great literary artists. In our grammar, too, we shall always be deeply indebted to Mrs. Hatleli. Furthermore, we shall never forget the indelible memories we experienced while working with her in the Senior Class Play, in our declamation work, and in the Christmas Programs. But wait! Before turning the page, we hope, in our postgraduate years, to follow her superb motto, Hitch your wagon to a star, and dont worry about the impossible! D. T. Rollefson J. B. Jensen R. Lewis R.

FLOUJER HUE ROSE ! i t I I PATH OPE Hello, folks] This is the third time I have had to write a little something about myself. I think I will write a summary of my short, eventful life. As everyone knows, I was almost drowned last fall. I was in a dirty, old sack down by the river with my brothers and sisters. Some mean boys had thrown us over the bridge with the intention of drowning us. It must have been Pate, for we landed on the bank of the river. I was on the top when we landed so I didn't get hurt, but my little brothers nd sisters were killed. I felt as though my heart would break. I lay on the cold, damp ground crying for my mother, but she did not hear me. Presently I heard footsteps. They came closer and closer. My cries for help had been heard. A boy had come to help us. He licked me up — oh, so gently — and brought me to school with him. The members of the class play took such good care of me that night. They fed me milk through a straw, and they put some old clothes in the garbage can cover so I could go to sleep. The next day a nice lady brought a bottle and nipple for me. Everybody was good to me. The senior class liked me very much; they even took turns taking care of me. They adopted me as their. Senior Mascot and named me Tiger after the class play. Tiger House. How I am seven months old; I am a big little dog. One day I had company. Two senior girls came to take my picture. Was I ever excited] ’’ hen they had finished, they promised to come to see me again. I hope they remember to come. Please, don't ever forget me] From the shadow of the majestic old 08k trees, Rises the intellectual core of our town; And we've journeyed there though the wind he strong, To read of masterpieces renown. For the gains of life always lead Back: to our kindly, stone school; For like innocent little goldfish, In a beautiful rippling pool, Y.'e learned the do's and don1 ts of life We learned the Golden Rule! he learned to resoect our faculty, Although we thought them cruel— _____ And now, if we forget their' tfords 'Twill be only ourselves we fool! There was in our Senior Play, A flapper, named Peg Van 3ss, Delores R. played this oart With intensive thoroughness! An exciting, lively blond she is; And of canine blood she's fond One could almost see Irene G. as Prourietess of a dog pound. He puffs his way to glory On a mammoth sousaphone. One day Mr. C. cslled a halt— But Shelby pumped on---alone. Helen I. has gorgeous heir, All other it does surpass; And she is the only redhead In the entire Senior Class. This summer Lila went to Minneapolis To get a job in the Forum; She replied,—when asked about her likes— Why men of course!-------1 adore 'em. Ardis C. once had a plan where 'Ujf She'd become an expert cook; And she's following out this plan so well That now she uses nary a book. One cloudy day, I stgej on t e street And watched a body come toning by---- A cloud lid move—I shaded ray eye, There stood La Verne against the sky. A girl i-'ith beautiful fingernails, Deserves some special attention; Agnes says there should be a week Of fingernail biting prevention.

Suzman n $can $ a The Senior Class of 47 was born on September 3, 1935 at 9 A. M. On this date a group of twenty-three entered the world of learning. They left behind them the haven of childhood and delved into the realm of knowledge. This small band of eager students began its work under the supervision of Kiss Harriet Bendickson. The first grade seats were filled by the following twenty-three: Jarvis Anderson, Beverly Bendel, Car- men Benson, Ardis Colbenson, Keith Colbenson, Dale Christensen, Carol Bock, Donald Evenson, Mavis Evenson, Arthur Gresh, Doris Hatleli, Helen Iverson, Lila Jacobson,Alice Jensen, ’Yesley Johnson, Walter Lee, Herbert Parnow, Charlene Schonsby, Bill Turek, Phyllis Virock, Dean Thompson, George Hovland, and Paul Stevens. The Class of 47 had as its first extra-curricular activity— Rythmn Band. Since that time the students have maintained their record of having a high percentage of participation in all out-of-class school activities. At the termination of our first eight years the class had fluctuated in membership from year to year, but it reached its climax in 1944 when its members became freshmen and numbered forty-eight. Throughout all four years of high school the class did have its ups and downs yet it continued to retain its unity and consideration for its fellow-menbers. Today we are about to depart from the halls ofRushford High with the purpose in mind of .applying the knowledge have gained throughout our twelve years. The Class of '47 will now relinquish its seats to the members of the Class of '48. Y ) ■' v v I -t •' ■A v •- J Time.; Late afternoon in the year 1957. 'lace: New York's Fifth Avenue.

Whether it -war. the sign, nv need of lipstick, or the words, Curmie’s Lipstick Salon, which -.ere sprawled across the sign, that caused me to enter the shop, I’ll never know. Put in I went. Once inside, I sauntered up to the ivory covered bar, where blondes, clothed in garments thaf were also various shades of red, quietly waited upon their elite •• stomers. Then it was that 1 heard that familiar voice comi -1 fro:', an cffice somewhere in the background.

Digued, published, and declared by the above named as +heir last will and testament. Witnessed by Miss Por s Sweeney and Mr. . Jilton Salmi. If you were a poor,young girl and suddenly found yourself in possession of a lonely country estate, but by the terms of the will you were obliged to live on it constantly for a period of one year, would you hesit;te to do soTSuppose you were told that the house was haunted by a deceased aunt, and that a phantom tiger appeared at midnight in order to regain possession of a mysterious collar of jewels,would you jump in where fools depart? This is the situation which confronted Erma Lov rio, heroine of the great mystery thriller, Tiger House , which was presented by the senior class on llovember 15, 1946. Erma's cousins, Arthur Hale and Oswald Kerins, her living Aunt Sophia, Peggy Van Ess, a former girl friend, and a Mr. Macintosh were all house guests when this mysterious incident happened. These four, together with a sinister Hindu,a suspicious Mysterious Woman,a superstitious Scotch woman, and an uncultured boatman, attempted to find a solution to the intriguing events that occurred at Mystery Manor. After thrilling encounters with the Tiger , Macintosh seized this uncouth practioner of evil and revealed him as the lamer sympathy-hunter, Art Hale. Mr. Tiger was sent up , presumably for life,his dissipated wife began life anew, and Erma and Mac lived happily ever after. The cast is grateful to Mrs. Hatleli for her untiring efforts in making the play a success and hopes the 1948 senior class enj’oys presenting their play as much as e did.

Ho was greeted by 34 ©layers, including five letternen. From the st-rt the Trojans fashioned themselves a successful season, marred only by a scoreless tie ’vith Soring Grove and a 12--0 defeat by Caledonia, the conference champions. The Trojans had victories over Lanesboro, Harmony, Mabel, Preston, and Leviston. Three of the Trojans roceived th honor of being elected to the All-Conference team. They were Dick Culhane, Eddie liislove and Lyle Busch. The letterr'.en are as follows: Jarvis Anderson Carmen Benson Allan Hess Paul Stevens 3ill Turok Dick Culhane ‘Varren Dubbs Joel Hatleli Stanley Jorde '. alter Lee Paul McManirTon Eddie Rislave Curtis Howe Lyle Busch Dan Culhane Jim Hammer Harold Jacobson David Stevens James Jacobson Diet Blanohfieldd Raymond Hovland The Trojans finished the season's play with 8 triumphs and 11 losses. Considering the loss of 6 lettermen from last year's squad this was a fairly good year. Three lettermen were present for Coach Koffron's call for basketball practice. The Trojans started their season out with a bang by dawning Preston, and went on to win three straight before dropping before the Caledonia five. This started a losing streak that lasted three games before the locals got back on the victory train by handing Lanesboro a defeat after they had dropped us previously. This back and forth playing was characteristic of the District One play as a whole. Mabel won the regular season's championship, but Wycoff copped the district tourney. The Trofans ended the season by going to Minneapolis for the State tournament. Next year should be a good year, for the Trojans who will lose only two seniors due to graduation. Paul Stevens and Jarvis Anderson are the seniors that graduate and the following are lettennen: Walter Lee Edwin Rislove Dick Culhane Arnold Helgemoe BASEBB Joel Hatleli Warren Dubbs Harold Jacobson David Stevens Spring practice for the 1947 baseball season began shortly after the close of the basketball season. This year twenty-four boys turned out for practice under Mr. Salmi's supervision. Among these, there were seven lettermen. At this writing Rushford High School lott its first game to Spring Grove by a score of 16-2. Other games scheduled are with Mabel, Houston, and Caledonia.
