RUSHFORO, minnESOTfi 7ELUQR Sometime after you have graduated and after you have become well established in your chosen t vocations, perchance you will look through this book. It is the aim of the 1949 Valley Legend that the summaries of the high-lights of our last year will bring back cherished memories. 7fe, the Senior Class of 1949, dedicate this edition of The Valley Legend to our janitors, Odin Bratland and Clarence Carlson. Odin and Clarence have given faithful service to our school for a great many years. They are responsible for keeping the school house clean, keeping it warm during the cold winter months, and keeping everything in working order. Besides being janitors they are also bus drivers. Clarence drives a bus on a route north of town to Hart and Odin's route takes him south to Bratsberg and Choice. PPREClAllOn We seniors wish to thank many people for our education.

I ichael Kuisle I, Bengy, would now like to introduce to you the smallest olass R. H. S., the juniors. Though only twonty-seven in number they are � very active group and outstanding in their music work, sports, and speech work. Likeable, brown-haired Wanda 3 is first to be introduced. Wand« is known for her speech and music work. As a favorite pastime, She spends many weekends visiting a certain patient at St. Mary’s hospital in Rochester. The gal who wields the gavel at our class .meetings is Marilyn.'B. She helped lead cheors at our games A thrilling event for MarilyA this year was winning the Fillmore County Centennial Queen contest. This won her a two-weeks’ trip to the Twin Cities. Marilyn has a very friendly personality which makes her liked by all. Next is dark eyed never a worry Johnny C. John can be seen out on the gridiron in- the fall. Right now he is kept busy during his after school hours and Saturdays working at the bakery and the meat market-, Eere we have the fast talking Norske who comes from Bratsberg Besides having a winsome smile and a pleasing personality, he is known for his ability to got around on the basketball court. This is Truman Dahl. ’Wouldn’t you like to go on a coon hunt? Just ask Larry D. if he won’t take you along sometime, Larry seems to know all the ropes when it comes to hunting and trapping. With his dark hair and sparkling eyes. I’m sure the animals ho hunts aren’t the only ones he has caused' a sleepless night. One needn’t have to ask what this pretty girl from Hart plans to do when she graduates. Just look at the third finger on her left hadl. Isn’t that so, Helen F? This dashing young man who we have next is none other but Kenny F . Kenny, too, comes from Hart, and has an attractive wave and says dozing is his favorite pastime. I',m sure all have seen, at some time or another, a light blue Plymouth go whizzing by. Behind the wheel of this vehicle one would see another of the handsome juniors. (One may also see a certain Oak Ridge gal sitting beside him.) Blonde Llewellyn Fossom also plays the buss horra. Row walking down the line of juniors in our parade, may I introduce to you, Clifford Heiden. Basketball and driving his Oldsmobile are Cliff s favorite pastimes. He especially enjoys the drive out to Bratsberg, What makes .you blush like that? This may well be a question frequently asked Jerry Henze, for he blushes easily and really colors A sv-ell fellow to know, Jerry likes to play basketball and also enjoys his work at the meat market. It is now tine to acquaint you with a student who soends much of his time amusing his fellow classmates. Raymond Loveland will you please step forward? V(e remember Ray also as our outstanding right tackle on the football team. - Starring in football and basketball is Bob Ingram's specialty. He helped to raise the score ir. many games. Bob is the fellow who takes care of t e minutes and money of the junior class. His biggest intesest lies in another member of his class. In fact, she sits behind Wanda. Rome of his other interests include golfing, swimming, Oh yes, here is another student who li es to spend his summer evenings outdoors with the lizards and bugs. To be a groat scientist someday is this wavey-haired junior' ambition. Vie can now see why chemistry and higher algebra rank high on James Jacobs nr e list of favorite subjects. Jim enjoys skiing in the winter are canoeing when the snow melts. Carroll J ; enotho: of the future Farmers in this prominent little class, will bo perfectly happy if.he can just settle down on a cozy little farm wh n he graduates. A hapoy fellow is Carroll and a swell guy to know. You're the new scoutmaster this year, aren't you Ronnie? Folks, let me introduce Ronald Kj;s. Ronnie is one of the top students in the junior class and enjo s almost all summer sports. If you want to make conversation vTith Ronnie, just ask him about the Yillderness Canoe Trip he took in Canada last summer. I was beginning to think there weren't any more girls in this class. ' That a relief to see you step up next Arlene K. Arlene can be remembered by her pretty smile. She also likes singing in the chorus and her work in home economics. A constant companion of Joline D« is Lois M., one of the gals who leads the marching band with her baton. Music in general constitutes her greatest interest. She enjoys spending her Sunday evenings going to a movie. What an arnay of ambitions we have in this class. Now this young man, Stanley Oian, •' .ants to be an insurance salesman. Sounds interesting, doesn't it? I also understand Stan's favorite subject is Biology If any of you would like to see this member of the class in action, stop in at the Home Cafe. There you will see Betty Paulson busily dashing back and forth serving the customers. A student librarian j.s this five-foot, nine-inch junior. His home is in South Rushford. He rides on Red's bus to school. His name?-Oh pardon me, iifs Harvey Peterson, a very pleasant fellow, Jeanette S., a blond and jolly miss who lives out Hart way is known for tho good work she did in speech this year, and playing her trombone in the band. Oh, here we have another of the great outdoorsmen. Handsome John S. is a top student, has very attractive smiles and likes summer sports especially. He also likes playing his baritone but is never happier than when he can be varblin a tune v ith the boys around a hig campfire. Stout, well-built Dave Stevens is now waiting to be introduced Although sports take up much of Duve's time, he still finds enough to have a game of c rds with the fellows quite often . With her attractive smile and manner, Janet T. is sure to be a success in life. Janet tells me she especially likes Biology, Sho lives near Bratsberg and is a prominent member in a 4-H club out there. Reserved, blue-eyed Roger T., who is a v?ry neat and likeable jum ior may frequently be seen with Truman. His main interests are in basketball and plaj ing his saxophone. Transferred from Winona Senior High, Delores T. is a welcome adit-ion to our junior class. She sings in the chorus and says she thinks Rushford is just fine. Now bringing the junior parade to a close we have blonde Esther Tuff. Studious and rather quiet Esther is the one who chalks up the number of rbsoncos in the Junior class.

The eighth year is the last oonnection with the .grades and an introduction to high school. We will look back upon it as a year of excitenent and enjoyment....and study (?). The eighth grade, just entering the teen-age period, have found something cooking” around every corner, due to the many extra-curricular activities such as school parties (both hirh school and grade) which offer exits from the work and worry with school. The eiehth grade carries well over its share of extra curricular activities, having fourteen members in the high school band, three members on the basketball B team, and two of the three junior cheerleaders. This year's science class, instructed by hr. Hanson, has been made more interesting by the experiments performed by him and the class. We have been studying our solar system, sanitation, insect and plant life, weather, and conservation. In English we have had prose and poetry, grammar, spelling twice a week, and on i.ondays library period in which we can read any books we v ant to. This was instructed by our friendly and accommodating teacher, ]j s. Sggon. Our math class, which is instructed by Ir. O'Dea, has been indulging in the formulas for finding volume and surface area of everything from a cube to a sphere, as ’well as ivorking numerous problems on these. During the fall we followed through the election in social studies. We had units on the United States Government, the growth of the nation, the Constitution and amendments, the chapters on each group of states, including our possessions. Once a week we had Junior Review which contains the current news. hr. Xoffron, our well-informed teacher, instructed us in this subject. In home economics the girls have had units on cooking lunches., bedrooms, and cotton clothing. This is instructed by the home economics teacher, I iss Fawcett. In Industrial Arts II this year the boys had units on woodworking, art metal, electricity, and mechanical drawing. From these units have come lamps, magazine holders, shelves, tie racks, bracelets, ash trays, and rings, all made by the boys with the instruction of I!r. Xoffron, who has continually been proving to the boys that there is no such word as can't in shop. This year music has consisted mostly of theory, although we have sung a few three part songs. It is instructed by our music direotor, Mr. Folsom. The girls in physical education have played girls basketball, kickball, and have had tumbling, and of course, efficiency tests, while the boys have been playing basketball, football, softball, volley ball, and sketing, along with physical efficiency tests. All in all, it's been a very enjoyable year, and we hope the freshmen year will be as enjoyable and interesting. SEVEIITH GRADE At the beginning of the year wo elected officers. They are as follows: President—Merlin Helgemoe Vice-Presidont—Shirley Volkman Secrotary--Sharon Hewitt Treasurer—Clinton Bunke Student Council—Donald Hunger We have a great many pupils starting on band instrument instruction in our grade. We think junior high is a great deal different from the grades. The bell rings every hour and we pass to a different class. Everyone helped to contribute food to our skating party. We ate supper in home economics room. After the supper everyone helped with the dish washing. When we finished washing dishes v e skated till 10 o'olock. Everyone had an enjoyable evening. The Student Council has been in operation for seven years. The purpose of the Council is to give students experience in goverment and activity planning and at the same time to provide a medium through which general problems can be adjusted. Lembership of the Council is composed of three seniors, two juniors, tv-o sophomores, and one student from each of tho. junior high school classes. Each of the representatives to the Council is elected by his classmates. The Council sponsored several educational programs. Some of them 'ere Lew Johnson, the snake king, George Delfott, the juggler, Burt Esslinger and his dogs, and Otto Dallman, the sculptor. This year at the annual Christmas party the Council asked for con-tributioris to CARE. The amount collected we $30, which was enough to purchase three CAIB packages.
