THE 1968 VALLEY LEGEND Volume XXXVIII Rushford, Minnesota DEDICATION We, the Senior Class of 1968, wish to dedicate this year book to Mr. Odin Bratland. Not only has he added to the pleasant atmosphere of our school through his duties as school maintenance engineer, but he has also been a friend to those who have come in contact with him through his past 25 years of service. We wish to honor him in this small way, that we might always remember him as our Trojan Horse. 2 Student Life .....38 Academics. .... 66 Seniors . . .

Co-editors Kathi M., Linda O. and Valencia P. confer with advisor Mr. Harmon on certain layout designs. Deadlines Beat by Valley Legend Staff The commercial room never seems to find peace as one annual deadline continually seems to collide with another. This year was no exception. This Year’s yearbook originated from a well organized staff formulated in the beginning of the school year with division editors and assistants in charge of the different divisions of the book. There were three editors at the beginning of the year to help coordinate the material for the book. Much work and many hours went into the makeup of the annual. The staff feels it has been worthwhile and is very proud of the Valley Legend this year. WORKING AGAINST TIME . . . Sharon T. begins transferring the ideas from the dummy layout to the final spread.

Trojans Control Root River Crown The football team enjoyed another successful year in 1967 coac' ed by Gaven Grob,as they took their fifth consecutive Root River Championship and rolled up an 8-1 record. The team had a little trouble getting off on the right foot as they lost their first game to a tough Chatfield team, but the Trojans bounced back in the second non-conference game and squeezed by Lanesboro. In the first conference game against Houston, the players showed that they were a power to be reckoned with and then proceeded to pick up another overwhelming victory over arch-rival Peterson. Caledonia posed the next problem but after a real battle, the Trojans came through and continued their domination with victories over Mable-Canton in the Homecoming game and also over Lewiston and Spring Grove. The last game with La Crescent proved to be the game of the year as it decided whether or not the Trojans would share the crown with the Lancers. The team showed that they were made of real championship material when they came back from a 7-6 deficit to a 20-7 victory and the undisputed championship. Season Record WE THEY 0 27 . . . . . .

NO PLACE TO GO ... A Lanesboro guard finds tough going against the Trojan defense. (Courtesy of LaCrosse |” q j Q S Q p t U P G Second Straight Root River Crown The mighty Trojans began the 1967-68 season with an overwhelming 85-60 victory over the Preston Bluejays. The Trojans went on to a near perfect season, winning 16 out of the next 17 regular season games. The Trojan’s only defeat came at the hands of a fired-up Peterson team. The Trojans defeated the Lanesboro Burros 78-52 in their first tournament game. This victory advanced them to the Mayo Civic Auditorium to play the Preston Blue-jays. The Trojans defeated the Jays 67-57 in a hard-fought contest. The stage was now set for a rematch between Chatfield and Rushford for the district championship. Both teams being near equal in strength, the final game went into overtime. With three seconds remaining on the clock, a Chatfield guard took a last second 35 foot jump shot, which proved to be the final margin of victory. The final score being 69-67 in favor of Chatfield. The Trojans, in a highly successful season, ended with a 19 and 2 record. 40 In picture to left Mike Miller warns Caledonia players to stay clear. (Below) BLOCKED SHOT...

Grapplers Show Improvement This year’s wrestling team compiled a better record than any other of the previous RHS squads. Although a 4-8 record is not overly impressive it shows that wrestling is becoming more popular in Rushford. The varsity squad was led by Terry Kelly, who was undefeated in the regular season, Richard Schmidt, Maynard LaFleur, and Clark Anderson. The efforts of these boys enabled Rushford to enjoy its best wrestling year yet. Three Trojans did quite well in district wrestling. Terry Kelly and Richard Schmidt, by placing first and second, qualified for the regional meet. Maynard LaFleur finished a strong fourth in the district meet. Terry and Richard rounded off the wrestling year by making strong showings in the regional meet. WHEN IT ALL BEGAN. . .M.
