In September 1932 a band of gypsies entered high school as freshmen. Marjorie Eppard was chosen the gypsy queen to lead the band of thirty-three; Earl Bratrud was her assistant, and Miss Legvold was selected as guide. During the initiation the gypsies were forced to set aside their native costumes and to don garments most unbecoming. The call of the wild was fulfilled in numerous weiner roasts. The gypsies also entertained at an all high school party. Because gypsies are naturally musical, many of them were active in the Music Department. Earl Bratrud, John Logan, and Raymond Rhoten were members ol the Boys’ Glee Club. Frances Braksiek, Marjorie Eppard, Allene Henke, Laura Kendail, Anita Lenton, Arlene Mundstock, Ellen Rud, Lila Schrceder, and Marcella Mayou were members of the Girls' Glee Club. Earl Bratrud, Marjorie Eppard, Derwood Howe, Anita Lenton, John Logan, Glenn Sullivan, and Gordon Sullivan were members of the band. Marjorie Eppard, Anita Lenton, Ivadean Groen, and Glenn Sullivan were mem- bers of the orchestra. At the campfire meetings of the Girl Reserves were found Laura Kendall, Mar- jorie Eppard, Anita Lenton, Annie Peterson, and Adeline Myhre. Marjorie Eppard, Laura Kendall, and Ivadean Groen tried their skill in declama- tory. The gypsy boys proved to be fine athletes. Derwood Howe was a member of the football team. Derwood and Glenn were members of the basketball team. This page is sponsored by FARMER’S ELEVATOR COMPANY, Stewsfctville, Minn.

» THE TIMES OF 3 5 She loves them, and she leaves them For someone that is new. Maxine Crowley tries awfully hard To get to school on time, But sometimes she doesn't make it Until it’s nearly nine. Work wouldn't bother Charles If it were stacked in a heap, He could lie right down beside it And go to sleep. Phyllis works with a will And never complains, Though her work may be hard She endures its pains. Are there ladies in distress? “I’ll help them if I can,” Of course, you all know Kenneth Schield Who is the ladies’ man. She comes from the country This little Irish lass, Everyone knows Margaret Kelly The pride of the Senior class. Look ! What is this I see? Dorothy coming down the aisle, Now, I almost thought it was Garbo Throwing on the style. Rose Mary works diligently At all her tasks, Give her a square deal And that is all she’ll ask. Girls ! Stop, Look, and Listen ! Wayne’s coming down the street, He’s putting on a show for you That’s why he looks so neat. The life of the party, The leader in sports, Marie will enjoy herself Wherever she ports. If red hair is an advantage “Squeak” has the world for the choosing, And I think we may fairly say He has little chance of losing. Ask Marion Reese whom she likes best And if she doesn’t answer, You’ll know she hasn’t decided yet Who was the better dancer. “There are so many girls In this world,” said Sonny O., “It’s pretty hard to make a choice With which one I shall go.” By a cute little brogue LaVonne’s won her many friends, So she’s taking this opportunity Her best wishes to extend. The world goes too fast Is Herbert’s impression, “I’ll lie down and sleep until We're out of this depression.” “Give me a mit, a bat, and ball,” Said Mary Kelly one day, She’s keeping in training for you, That’s why she looks so gay. Always dignified and intelligent Sometimes she’s serene, We know it’s Jean Burrington The pride of Racine. Carmen Struve’s slogan is “I love to play and I love to win, If giggling would reduce me I surely would get thin.” Norbert Sullivan comes from the country But he has city ways, He likes to go riding On nice sunshiny days. Margaret O. likes good books She reads all she can find That’s why she’s so intelligent And still so very kind. She’s studious and industrious But never a grind, Of course, it’s Eleanore Luehmann The best president we could find Let us all get busy and work When that is done we can play, It will surely get you places For it’s Lucille Wood’s way. When cars are made To jump through spaces, It will be safe for Homer To run in the races. Now who is that tall stately girl Who runs around with “Zeke,” If you don’t know, just look and see Who has the reddest cheeks. We have a blue-eyed Agnes Who’s shy as the Irish rose, She is every bit a lady From her head down to her toes. Richard has a friendly smile Or a fitting word of cheer, For every classmate, friend or foe, Who happens to be near. We have a little Violet In our Senior class, That is sweeter than any That grow in the grass. Among all these folks You will probably agree, There are doctors and lawyers Of every kind and degree. There are cooks and mechanics And those fitted for dramatics, There are stenographers auu teachers And maybe some preachers. But in which channel of life Each of us will travel, We must have patience and await What the future will unravel. This page is sponsored by A. O. HAGEN. D. D. S.

THE TIMES OF 35 The roving nature of a few of the gypsies caused them to leave the little band and we lost Lydia Bakker, Irene Byrne, Emily and Ivadean Groen, Lucille Gronert, and Esther Kath. In September 1933, the little band again gathered after roaming for three months. Laura Kendall was chosen queen and her assistants were Anita Lenton and Adeline Myhre. Mr. Jorgensen acted as guide. New members that joined the band were Leroy Kramer, Raymond Rhoten, Phyllis Pratt, Marie King, John Runkle, and Marion Clarke. The usual round of parties served as sufficient diversion for people of gypsy blood. All the gypsies that were in the Glee Clubs the preceding year again took part. Leroy Kramer, Lorris Kuchntopp, Norbert Towey, and Marion Clarke became new members of the glee clubs. Adeline Myhre and Marcella Mayou were new members of the band. Marjorie Eppard and Earl BratrUd took part in Declamatory work. Miriam Slight and Ellen Rud joined their gypsy classmates as Girl Reserves. The gypsies furnished new athletes this year—Elmer Reich, Leroy Kramer, and Earl Bratrud. John Runkle, Marie King, and Marion Clarke wandered to other trails. In September 1934, the little band of gypsies was increased by six new members: Laurence Steffens, Bertha Balcom, Phyllis Meschke, Audrie Greene, Belva Haas, and Walter Koebke. Miss Tuohy was chosen guide and Laura Kendall was again elected queen; Anita Lenton and Norbert Towey were assistants. New members in the Glee Clubs were Audrie Greene, Walter Koebke, Belva Haas, and Annie Peterson. Bertha Balcom joined gypsy campfires of the Girl Reserves. The gypsies again furnished new athletes this year: Lorris Kuehntopp and Howard Schield. The entire gypsy band took part in declamatory work. In addition to their regular work a group of gypsies presented the play, “Girl Shy;” those taking part were Derwood Howe, Glenn Sullivan, Earl Bratrud, Anita Lenton, Belva Haas, Alta Mae Erickson, Raymond Rhoten, Laura Kendall, Marjorie Eppard, Lorris Kuehntopp, Annie Peterson, and Leroy Kramer. The gypsies regretted losing two of their members, Marcella Mayou and Alta Mae Erickson. On May 18, the gypsies entertained the Seniors at a farewell banquet. The gymnasium was decorated to represent a camp. Gypsy songs were sung around the campfire. The fortune teller predicted bright futures for the members of the Senior Class. After a festive gypsy dinner and program, an orchestra furnished music for dancing. The gypsies wished their fellow comrades a cheery good-bye reluctant to see them leave their school. And thus our band reached the third turning and we saw before us the last stretch of road. The end in sight, we will push on in the coming year still more eagerly, and we have every expectation of successfully completing our pilgrimage.
