It Is our aim, therefore, to try to give to you, the students, a true picture of the school life In Rushford High. Being very naval minded, as the staff chose the Navy theme for the 1951 Valley Legend, we hope you will enjoy your pleasure cruise through the memories of the school year of 1950-1951. 3 In grateful appreciation for the work done to raise the standard of music in our school and for the musical direction given to us in the past three years, we, the seniors of 1951, do dedicate this VALLEY LEGEND to Mr. Dale R. Folsom, the director of the high school music department. 4 School Board LEFT TO RIGHT: B. Jensen; C. R. Lewis; D. Rollefson; W. Smaby, Chairman; C. Julsrud; N. Berg; R.
