On a most awe-inspiring morning early in September 1933, thirty-five of us entered the building above whose portal is written “Stewartville High School ’ Our first exciting day was the cne in which we dressed according to the dictates of the Sophomores, paraded around the assembly, spoke pieces, sang songs, and per- formed stunts. Yes, it was initiation day. How excited we were when we heard that Marjorie Sackett, Vailey Petersen, Eleene Collins, Jean Ballard, Ruth Skare, Evelyn Born, Henrietta Brown, Mildred Betcher, Johnabell Peterson. Frances Bartholomew, Dorothy Fleshner. Adelaide Priebe, Catherine Lamp, Helen LaBare, Evelyn Howe, Berkley Myhre, Vernon House, Maynard Gordy, and Dale Reese were to be in the Glee Clubs. And then the band began to meet and send forth its notes and those of our group who helped were Vernon House, Jean Ballard, Adelaide Priebe, Helen LaBare, Mildred Betcher, Vailey Peterson, Harold Prescher, and Robert Christofferson. The athletes, Vernon House, Harold Prescher, George Weiland, Majnard Gordy, Fahy Bernard, and Raymond Christofferson, carried high our banner into fray both in football and basketball. The personnel of our class has changed somewhat. Those who have left us are Lucille Gronert, Joseph Gronert, Floyd Taylor, Miriam Slight, Alvin Flint, Barbara King, Clara Erickson, Bernice Erickson, and George O’Donnel. We are looking forward with much enthusiasm to that portion of our high school career that yet lies before us. This page is sponsored by LAWLERS’, Cleaners, Dyers, Furrier’s—Rochester, Minn.

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.
