Rushford High School - Valley Legend Yearbook (Rushford, MN)

Text from Pages 1 - 106 of the 1952 volume:

DEDICATION We, The Senior Class of 1952, dedicate this edition of The Valley Legend to our athletic coach, Wilbur Winblad. Mr. Winblad came to Rushford in 1949 to fill the coaching position left by Curt Jacobson. His fine coaching ability has been indicated by the winning teams he has built during the last two years. He has taught American History, general business training 9, social studies 7, and has also been our driver training instructor. We would like to express a little of our gratitude for Mr. Winblad’s work by dedicating this annual to him. ivnmv SJVJIV ANNUAL STAFF Co-Editors—Donna and Doris High'.un Art Editors—Dick Borg and Donald Grover Photographic Editor--Donna Dubbs Photographers—Donald Dahl and Lyle Culhane Business Managers—Bruco Larson, Earl Sorum, Richard Holle, Byron Otis Head Typists—Delaine Feine, Linda Olstad Dedication—David Medhaug Seniors Our Bequests--Jane Tolfram Poem—Nels Jacobson Prophecy—Bruce Larson Donald Dahl Class Play—Jean Lewis Senior Activities—Marian Luedtke Classes Juniors—Verna Klungtvedt, Dick Smaby Sophomores—Merlin Helgemoe, Diane Larson Freshmen—Vernon Carlson, Arlene Riegel Music Band—Roberta Boehmke Ensembles and solos—Roherta Boehmke Mixed Chorus—Janice Dahl Boy's Chorus—Janice Dahl Girl's Chorus—Janice Dahl Sports Football—Roger Burke Basketball—Carroll Kjos Baseball—Harold Thompson Lettermen's— Tillard Tarnken Activities F.

PROPHECY This year, 1962, brings many changes and check-ups. One check up •'•e would like to make is to find the whereabouts of the members of the class of 52 of the Rushford High School. From magazines, TTho1 s vfho, and newspaper articles, we discovered what each one has been doing during these ten years. Two Ton Tony, the late champion wrestler, was defeated last night by Dirty Dick Berg, former Rushford scholar. He is now No. 1 cookie of the mu t me n . Elaine Berge, who received her primary driving instruction at the Rushford High School under the direction of Mr. Tinblad, has won every race that she entered for the past three years including the 500 Mile Memorial Day Classic at Indianapolis. Elaine says, The racing isn't half as exciting as driving that Ford around Rushford. Betty Boehmke, whose greatest ambition all through her life was to make Rushford a big city, has finally achieved her goal She was the cause of a gold rush to the bluffs of Rushford. Ho gold was found, but the thousands who came liked the town so well they all stayed. Roberta Boehmke has established her school of music. She has a very fine group of students and a teaching staff consisting of her own offspring, LaVina Boynton, who has nov; revolutionized the rhumba in America by adding an extra wiggle here and there, is now on her way to Hawaii where she is going to introduce her new version to the Hawaiians. There has been many questions about why there are so many holes in the Tam O'Shanter Golf Course in Chicago, The answer is that Rog Burke has not been shooting too well lately. It is no serious problem, because he has developed a machine to follow him and transplant grass plants. Flash! Lyle Culhane won the nation-wide Handicap Vfheelbarrow Wheeling Contest. Of course he had a easy win. His route was all down hill. He is the big wheel of the Culhane vftieel Company. Flash! All-international center Donald E. Dahl of the Green Bay Backers last night celebrated disabling his ninety-ninth opponent in the last nine games. Because of this outstanding work the Backers have conquered the Great Ten football title this year. Donna Dahl, president of the Lonesome Heart Club, has found her new job fascinating and enjoyable. Donna does not expect to be president muoh longer because she plans to snag someone soon. Janice Dahl has refrained from using her automatic hair comber. She intended to use it in her beauty parlor. Instead of combing the hair of a well-known socialite, it combed her hair roots. Donna Dubbs, famous girl scout who claims that she has never been lost, had hundreds of searcher looking for her last week. Two days later when she reached civilization, she still claimed that record. Donna savs that she wasn't lost; it only took her a couple of days to find her way out. Lorraine Dggert, famous tennis plaver, has not lost a game since she began her tennis tour of the Antarctic. This might be due to the fact that all of her opponents have been penguins who have never Played the game. Delores Dvenson, retired medical secretary is devoting her time as a congressional reporter. Her latest record in spe d writing, 125 words per minute, topped the world's record. Senator Foghorn Feine (S. Minn.) is campaigning against the proposed St. Lawrence Seaway. Delaine says that if they construct this seawav, it will drain the Great Lakes. Donald Grover, one time drummer of the Rushford Hi Pep Band, has been recently employed by wechumcchieo, South African witch doctor, to to drum up some business. Donna Highum, editor of The Daily Gripe of New York City, has invented a new kind of ink to be used in her newspapers. It contains a deodorant that prevents that fishv odor you got when you wrap fish in a newspaper. Donna expects a large increase in sales along the waterfront. Doris Highum, famous economist, has won high favor with half of the world (the female half) with her new financial theory of marriage. She says it should be a 50-50 proposition—he makes it and she spends it. • Richard Hollo, a former baseball commentator and sports writer, has .just won the P.G.A. Golf Tournament (Poor Golf rs of America). He onl had ten clubs left when he finished; the rest wrr wrapped around trees. Nels Jacobson, head of the Jacobson Candy Tasting School, has invented a nochanical candy taster. His own just wore out. Carroll Kjos was just appointed Secretary of Agriculture. His appointment camo because of his outstanding invention of a remote controlled tractor. Ho can sit in bis home all day and do his work by these controls. Harold Thompson, head of Thompson and Son Interior Decorating Corporation, has developed a luminous plaster that makes the room glow in the dark, therefore eliminating light bulbs. Norma Kopperud has just returned from the North Pole where she has spent the last ton years studying the weather conditions. Her only comment when she come back was, Brrl It was cold up there. John Kryzor-has just been chosen turnip king by the T.G.A.A. (Turnip Growers Association of America). He was-chosen turnip king because he has been able to raise the biggest and best turnips in the wprld. John says that his turnips are good roasted, toasted, boiled, broiled, fried, baked, poached; stewed, and raw. Jack Landsvork has just bought the Rushford Bottling Company. He is building twenty-three new pop shops all over the nation and'plans to sell pop frcm Kalamgoo to Timluklo.

The record d.oes not look too iirroressive, but when one takes into consideration the fact that the team did not olar one game without some olayers being sidelined with injuries, and that they olayed the four ton teams in the conference, it was not such a bad season after all.

STUD3NT COUNCIL vo have had a very successful Student Council' session during the •oast school year. One of.the first things wo did after school opened last fall was to issue activity letter award forms to every student in grades 9 through 12. This was an accomplishment because it had never been tried before. Next we began on the long road to refill our treasury. ,,Te started with a balance of approximately $0, and tnrough our numerous programs we have about $60 in it this sprint. Because of our low treasury fund homecoming .was quite a problem, but after many debates we decided on our homecoming arrangements. Usually the Student Council sponsors a Christmas party, but thi-s year the' Commercial Club sponsored it. This also helped our funds. During the'last part of February the older council members and Mr. Sonsteng attended the Southern Minnesota Student Council Convention in St. Charles and returned with many helpful ideas. Soon after the convention the council sponsored the movie, i-acbeth. They also invited Lanesboro High School to the movie. During the past school year the council has helped sponsor University road shows. The Winona ‘'tatc Teachers' College contracted the council for permission to present the play, The Marriage 'Proposal . At the tine of this publication. Plans arc under way for the school award day and pifcnic. OFFICDRS President: Dari R.
