The Rams were then stopped by Roland 12 to 5 but not before sending seven men to bat and scoring 3 runs in the last inning. Then did they bow out. They kept up that never say die spirit until the last out was made. This spirit is what kept Ruthven in the game and entitled them to go as far as they did. Bill Whiting did most of the pitching with Frank Mason in on the stop jobs. The Rams went to the finals of sub-state in the summer. They were beaten by Algona.

Whom should Before we left the camp ground, a loud noise in the sky drew our attention. Patricia Taylor, Aerialist, and her pilot, Avonelle Simonson. were demonstratin som fth ' d -d ' ' two would do anything that dangerous. g e o err are evil stunts. Somehow we never figured those We proceeded further and came to the main part of Ruthven. Noticing a nice hotel, we stopped to freshen u a b't. I h h ' ' ' p 1 n t e otel we noticed they were having a banquet for Writers and Newspapermen. Dave Hermanson who was now editor of the Ruthven Free Press was the guest speaker. We also saw that Beverly Miller was to give a talk on writing short stories. How we ever got the impression thatshe was better at tellin the th ' ' h g m an writing t em is beyond us. Dave and Bev told us that Frank Mason was running the town barbershop. It's a wonder he didn't get some bright idea about shaving someone's head. Somehow it didn'tseem as ifwe had seen all our old classmates. We found we hadn't seenjo Ann Simington. The reason: she went to Hollywood to be a movie star after winning the Miss Iowa Corney contest.
