Promotes Greater Understanding The American Field Service exists for the purpose of creating greater understanding between peoples of the world, by bringing students from abroad to live and study in American towns. Rushford has its fourth student, Emilio Vargas from Costa Rica, living with the George Woll family. The Rushford Chapter has submitted a candidate for the Americans Abroad Program--Sue Leuch-tenberg. The local A. F. S. program is made up of representatives from the community, school faculty, and high school student body. Emilio is our first A. F. S. student to come from a farm.

The editorial staff begins work in the fall and continues work throughout the year. They do a vast amount of work which few students realize. Co-editors, BarbAnderson, Diane Helleland, and Cheryl Bremseth led the staff in the organization of this year's book. The group worked diligently creating layouts, planning and taking pictures, and writing the literary ma -terial.

Judy Feine, editor, is explaining to Susan Post, a reporter how the 325 Christmas Ripples are to be assembled. Under the supervision of our advisor, Mrs. Lacher, the Ripples had a very successful year. Each Monday the staff held their weekly meeting at which they received their article assignments. These assignments were to be completed by Wednesday of each week and handed over to the typists so that they could have the articles typed and ready for editing by after school on Friday. The first issue of the Ripples came out in September. It included such write-ups as an editorial, a gossip column, interviews of seniors and new teachers, and all the latest news pertaining to school activities and s sports events. The highlight of the year was the publication of the annual Christmas Ripples in December, of which a total of 325 copies were sold. SEVENTH HOUR ON FRIDAY. . .

At tire beginning of the year each member is given an assignment to a specific teacher of his choice. The whole objective of F. T. A. is to act as a student teacher and help the students. This is carried out by reading to them, assisting them with arithmetic or other problems, teaching music, or just observing the actions of the children. It has been the responsibility of the F. T. A. organization to maintain a bulletin board on teaching or some important goal or objective. A special fun and fund-raising activity was held in December when the F. T. A. sponsored a school dance.

Band Receives “Superior” Rating The 1966-67 Concert Band, composed of 76 members under the direction of Mr. Charles Sands, have compiled a very impressive record by receiving an A rating at the district and state regional music contests. The band's busy schedule began last summer when they marched at Winona Steamboat Days, Mabel Steam Engine Days, the LaCrescent and Spring Grove Rodeo Days, and The Apple Festival Parade. In addition, they performed at our football and basketball games, attended Band Days at the University of Minnesota and Mankato State. Of the 18 entries in the District Solo and Ensemble Contest, 15 received A's. Three who received A's on their solos were selected to attend the Dorion Music Festival in March. They were Judy Feme, Ron Haugen, and Richard Loerch. A banquet was held on May 27 to recognize the achievements of the band members. ARE WE ACTUALLY HAPPY?. . .

The first highlight of the year was the fall concert. Another major function involved preparation for the district and state music contests in which the Mixed Chorus, Girl's Glee Club, Triple Trio, Small Mixed Chorus, a trio, duet, and two solos participated. The Chorus presented a spring concert for the P. T. A. and also took an active part in the Pop Concert in affiliation with the Band and Home Ec. departments. In spite of a large amount of work, there was still much time devoted to minor activities. The choir members could be heard singing in the A. F. S. Show, at the Good Shepherd Rest Home, at a pep fest, or just serenading the good ol' halls of R. H. S. Many of the members attended a special vocal festival at Caledonia. All of these activities plus a useful amount of basic training under the direction of Mrs. Rislove contributed to a very funfilled and worthwhile year for the R. H. S. Choral Department. 48 PARTICIPANTS IN THE LOCAL CONTEST. . . were Row 1: Mrs. Lucille Anderson, advisor; T. Hatleli, M. Peterson, M. Miller, B. Anderson, R. Feine, M. Bremseth, T. DeBoer, D.

Emphasis was placed on the physical display of emotion; and casting proved very difficult for Mrs. Anderson, co-ordina-tor and director of the plays. The cast selection completed, rehearsals commenced immediately. One of the two plays, Patterns, was a love story depicting a young girl’s wait for her sweetheart away at war. Upon learning that he has been killed in battle, the young girl approaches madness in her sorrow. The other play, The Slave With Two Faces illustrates a philosophical viewpoint of life. Two girls await the arrival of a personified Life . One is wise and insists that Life obey her wishes. The other, less wise, stoops to his flattery, loses control, and becomes Life's slave. Special recognition goes to the following members of the technical staff; Vicki Bunke, MaryHolger, Debra Nelson, Barbara Anderson, Cheryl Bremseth, Valencia Peterson, Sharon Johnson, Peggi Schueler, John Post, Jim Anderson, Carl Holger, Pam Bakken, Sandra Rye, Susan Post, and Jane Prudoehl.

Trojans Make It Four Straight Rushford went undefeated in the Root River Conference to claim their fourth straight championship. After an opening loss to Chatfield, the Trojans won eight straight games. Tom Hatleli's touchdown with 35 seconds remaining gave the Trojan's its first victory of the season, at Lanesboro. Mike Woll's two touchdowns paced the Trojans to a conference victory over Peterson. Caledonia fell to the improving Trojans buy only at a high cost. David Colbenson was lost for the season with a broken leg. Rushford continued its surge towards the top by disposing the title contender Mabel, behind the passing of Dean Carlson and the running of Mike Woll. The next Trojan victory came over non-conference foe, Blooming Prairie. Due to torential rains Rushford's homecomign game had to be postponed until Saturday afternoon. Although the glamor of the event was gone, the determined Trojans marched to conclusive victory over Spring Grove. Butch Iverson's 40 yard touchdown psss reception capped the Trojan dominated game. Thefollowing Wednesdaynightthe Trojans invaded the also undefeated Lancers at LaCrescent. After falling behind the explosive Lancers 13-0, Senior defensives and Jim Woll engulfed an off the mark Lancer pass and bounded 55 yards for the Trojans first score. Minutes later Dean Carlson connected with Butch Iverson for a 55 yard pass play. Tom Hatleli plunged in to tie the score at half-time. After receiving the second half kick off the Trojans marched 65 yards and hit paydirt on Mike Woll's2 yard plunge behind a key block by Gerald Meyer. Jeff Bunke's PAT capped the scoring 20-13. Rush-ford's tough defense, led by defensive guards Roy Feine and Jim Oldendorf, held the Lancers scoreless the last three quarters.

Homecoming Successful, DespiteWeather Preparations for the 1966 Homecoming began shortly after school started with each class selecting a theme for a float. The Student Council promoted the Homecoming by selling Homecoming buttons which said, I'm For The TROJANS All The Way . Although it rained almost all day Thursday, the seventh and eighth graders were able to gather enough dry material for the traditional Homecoming Bonfire to be held at the American Legion Baseball Field. A large crowd was on hand to watch the captains, Paul Erickson, Dan Froiland, and Jim Woll, ignite the bonfire thus officially starting the Homecoming activities. Finally the moment came that everyone had been waiting for, the announcement of the Homecoming Royalty. After the Bonfire, the Youth Center sponsored a dance while a final football practice was held in preparation for the big game. The Homecoming Parade was held on Friday afternoon followed by a pep rally on the school playground. A pep talk was given by our royalty Jim, Tom, and Dave. After school was dismissed on Friday, it began to rain and it continued to rain throughout most of the evening. Because of the bad weather the Homecoming Game was temporarily halted; however, the Homecoming Dance went on as scheduled. The freshman class had decorated the gym using the theme Over the Rainbow which was played when Johnny Dollar from WDGY presented the Homecoming Royalty. The 1965 Homecoming King and Wueen, Leroy Humble and Gayle Himlie, were present to crown the new royalty. The crown-bearers were Michael Eb-ner and Karen Halvorson. After the Crowning, Johnny Dollar presented each of the royalty with an album--compliments of WDGY. Then King Jim and Queen Mary led the grand march to the music Somewhere My Love. Spring Grove was the opponent and on October 15, a cold and windy Saturday afternoon, the trojans defeated the Vikings, 25-0. It will always be remembered as being a very successful and memorable event. ANYBODY FOR ROASTED WEINERS? . . . A group of students stand anxiously awaiting the bonfire's ignition. LET'S DANCE. . .

Ready for the rebound is Rod Johnson. The 1966-67 Trojan basketball season opened with three lettermen returning. They were: Jim Woll, Rod Johnson and Mike Woll. Several Promising players up from the B team made the season look bright. Some of these boys were: Dennis Benson, Dean Carlsnn, Mike Miller, Gary Quarve, Ron Haugen, Paul Ryan, Dennis McCallum, Bruce Carlson, and Brad Anderson. The season started with a rather poor performance. Lanesboro and Preston defeated the Trojans fairly easy. But the following game, against Chatfield, the boys found themselves and beat the Maple Leaf favorites by 15 points. The Trojans were picked as favorites to taee the Root River crown. Through the first five games of the conference, it looked as though they might. But Houston came to town and nipped the Trojans by 3 points. During the second half of the conference schedule, Rush-ford moved along with authority. In the next to the last game of the season, Peterson went down in overtime for the second time. The big game remained with Houston at Houston. Before a jam-packed house at Houston, this young Trojan team played perhaps their finest game of the season. Never trailing and leading by as much as 10 points most of the way, Rushford won by 15 points. The Root River crown belonged to the Trojans. Hopes were high as the tournament trail started. Spring Valley went down 81-51. In the semi-finals of the district at Rochester, Harmony was disposed of by a score of 64-59. The championship game was a rematch with Chatfield. However, the Trojans hit a very cold evening when everything seemed to go against them and they were defeated by the score of 68-54. Thus, the 1966-67 season came to a close. It was an exciting year. The boys progressed tremendously and another championship trophy was added to the trophy case. Prospects for the coming year are bright, with only 3 seniors graduating from the squad. However, these three seniors will be missed and a big gap has to be filled. Their shoes will be hard to fill! 65 VICTORY BOUND. . . Rushford's Dean Carlson shows his determination as he rebounds f or our Trojans. “B” Squad Acquires Skill The B Squad looked promising on the court this year. They were one of the tallest teams in the conference. Kenny Benson was the leading scorer, Jerry Bunke, Jack O'Donnell, Bill Haugen the leading rebounders, and Doug Klin-ski the defensive player. Mark Peterson was playmaker and also helped with the scoring. This team in the future could prove to be very productive. Although they didn't have the best record in the conference, they gained a lot of experience. Most of these boys will be back next year, and the others will be playing varsity basketball.

This year’s wrestling team was the best and most balanced team Rushford has had since 1960 when the sport was first introduced in this school. One of this year's co-captains, Dale Volkman, is the first four-year letterman the sport has had at Rush-ford. Dale's record this year was 7 wins, 3 losses and he placed third in the district. The other co-captain, Tom Hatleli, was a real mainstay for the team and had a 4 win, 5 loss record. Three boys went into regional competition by taking either first or second in the district competition, Dan Froiland, a senior, Terry Kelly, and Maynard La-Fleur, both juniors. Kelly attained the highest of any Rushford wrestler so far by earning third place in the regional competition. Kelly and Froiland's records for this season were8wins, 2 losses; LaFleur'srec-ord was 6 wins, 1 loss, and 3 ties. ROLL HIM OVER. . . Two points for Bob as he tries for a cradle .

Mr. Larson served for four years on the board of directors of the Minnesota Schhol Boards Association, and for many years on the Rushford School Board. Mr. Larson was one of Minnesota's strongest believers in public school education and in the best that the public schools of Minnesota could offer the young people. He was a leader in the school district reorganization movement because he believed that every child in the state shoudl be guaranteed at a very minimum the opportunity of a high school education. Mr. Larson contributed much to the Rushford School District. He contributed much to the Minnesota School Boards Association and to public education in Minnesota. The staff on the Minnesota School Boards Association and his many friends in education will long remember his dedication to that vervice he thought was so vital to a great democracy. In Adoration of Rushford High We first met you as children With eager faces And Curious minds. And in these short years you guided us And prepared us for life. You gave us knowledge; You taught us goodness. And in your dwelling we have known joy, Companionship, victory, defeat. Discovery, security, respect, honor. Now our morning has passed. We stand no more in these familiar halls. Yet our appreciation for all you have given us Will never be detained. Our thanks will never end. For the years you have shown us Were our best years. We shall never hold and know them again. But in our youth we have felt them And in our future we will remember them. And when our bodies have turned white with age And our eyes have dimmed, We will yet recall these days in pride. And though the seasons pass in silence The air will still be filled With the immortality of your name. - -Lynn Colbenson The Annual Staff would like to add its sincere and gracious thanks to Mr. Evan Zantow for his advice during the past year, and Mr. Wendell Nordby, and Mr. Joseph Rislove fortheir co-operation in completing some of the photography for the yearbook. Also, a special thanks to Mr. Harmon for his vital assistance in the planning and preparing of our 1967 Valley Legend. 87 Senior Index ALBRECHT, ROY 6,36,52 ANDERSON, BARBARA 6,12,30,35,43,45,46,47,48,49,50,52 53,55 ARNOLD, LETITIA 6,32,35,38,40,41,47,48,50,52,55,71,74 BAKKEN, PAMELA 6,34,35,39,41,47,48,50,52,53,61,62 BAKKUM, MARIE 6,31,35,47,48,52 BRAND, BETTE 6,31,32,33,35,39,41,47,48,49,51,52 BREMSETH, CHERYL 6,30,33,35,39,43,45,47,49,52,62,74 CARLSON, BRUCE 6,31,43,35,52,58,65,70 CARLSON, CHERYL 6,47,48 COLBENSON, DAVID 6,36,37,39,43,44,45,46,52,53,60,62 COLBENSON, LYNN 7,31,32,33,34,35,52,87 CORDES, CAROL 7,52 CULHANE, ROSE MARIE 7,31,34,35,38,41,47,48,52,53,63 74 DEBOER, THOMAS 7,31,36,38,49,52 EKERN, ROGER 7,32,36,37,52 ERDMANN, PAULA 7,31,32,33,35,38,39,52,53 ERICKSON, PAUL 7,31,52,58,68,69 EVENSON, KENNETH 7,52,70 FANN, GARY 7,52,58 FEINE, JUDY 7,31,32,33,35,43,45,46,47,48,52,74 FROILAND, DANIEL 8,12,42,45,48,52,55,58,59,67 GAUSTAD, SHARON 8,30,32,33,35,39,40,41,47,48,51,52 63 HALL, SUSAN 8,32,34,35,41,47,48,52,55 HATLEVIG, RONALD 8,36,52,67 HATLELI, THOMAS 8,12,43,44,45,46,49,52,58,59,60,62 67,69,70 HELLELAND, DIANE 8,30,35,41,47,48,52 HILL, RAYMOND 8,36,52 HOEL, DIANE 8,31,32,35,40,42,45,52 HOILAND, JENNIFER 8,33,35,47,48,52 HOUSKER, LOIS 8,35,47,48,52 HOVLAND, CATHLEEN 9,31,35,39,47,48,49,52,53,74 HUNGERHOLT, SHIRLEY 9,38,47,48,49 IVERSON, PAUL 9,32,52,58,65 IVERSON, ROBERT 9,31,52,58 JOHNSON, DEAN 9,52 JOHNSON, RODNEY 9,30,38,39,42,45,52,53,55,56,64,65 71,74 JOHNSON, SHARON 9,31,35,58,47,48,52 KINGSLEY, CHERYL 9,31,32,33,35,38,52 KLEIST, HOHN 9,36,52 LAUMB, HELEN 9,31,33,35,39,49,52,74 LAUMB, RICHARD 10,52 LEUCHTENBERG, SUSAN 10,12,31,32,33,35,40,45,49,52 53,71 LOKEN, ROBERT 10,36,37,42,45,52,67 LUHMANN, DENNIS 10,36,37,52,55 MANION, GERALD 10,36,37,52,69 MEYER, GERALD 10,36,37,52,58 NELSON, JUNE 10,47,48,49 OVERLAND, JAMES 10,52,58 OVERLAND, PHILIP 10,52 PEDERSON, JENIFER 10,12,35,42,45,47,48,52,55 PETERSEN, JOHN 11,31,43,45,48,52,65 PRUDOEHL, ANN 11,31,32,33,35,47,49,52 RASMUSSEN, DALE 11,33,36,49,52 ROSTVOLD, GARY 11,48,52,55,66,70 RUST AD, JUDY 11,31,32,35,40,42,45,46,48,49,52 SOROM, MARY JO 11,31,32,35,49,52,74 THOMPSON, MARY 11,31,32,34,35,40,41,42,45,49,53,61 62 VARGAS, EMILIO 11,12,13,36,49,52,55 VOLKMAN, DALE 11,52,67 VOLKMAN, JUANITA 11,52 WOLL, JAMES 11,12,13,31,32,43,45,55,58,59,60,62,65,66 70 88
