THE SENIOR CLASS OF STEWART- VILLE HIGH SCHOOL (Seal) l I x 5 « % % t ■ i GIgAA P iojxUexuf. Listen, all you men and women, youths and maiden? of Stewartville! Listen! Listen to the words of wisdom from your prophets, who now speak to you of what ha.' Veen revealed to them. It has been given unto us. .h? chosen numbers of this great class of 1939, the power to see strange visions into the future of each and every member, of this most honorable class. A .» we look into the land :f the Future, we can see the Familiar shapes of the boys and girls who are our classmates. Our first vision, is that of a crowded high school g mmsium. and a.? we look clos:r. we rec gnize the school to be that of our beloved S. H. S . ! A large crowd has gathered to see a bisketbill game which is between the Lodal Girls' Team, and the Internaliorally known Galloping Globe Girls! How surprised we were to see Flor- enco Larson and Ruth Lawson, now known as the Flvfng F rwarand that wonderful biU-handler. Captain Rachel Gathje. Other nr embers were Isabel Buchholz, Geraldine Rhoten, and Gladys Ellinghuysen, who are guards, just as they were tn the Senior team of ’39. Our v . on is lading, but before it s too dim. we can see the Gallopers making record baskets. As we look again, we see a dimly lighted ballroom, with on all-girls’ orchestra directed by Miss Bernaaine Bernard, featuring a little blues’ • nger. whose voice was that f M’?s Shirley McMoran. Introducing a new dance at the ballioom was that bM!et teicher. Miss Virginia Reed. The dance, called the ’’Glamor Glide,” was very gracefully done. We woula have liked to watch longer, but the picture had faded. A3 we looked again, we .«jaw a bespectacled, serious-?ct;ng professor, Mr. Emmett K’tmm He was addressing a civics class in a well-known college. Before we lost sight :f this .school, we watched the college basketball team practice as they were directed by Coach Verne Ewing, who has coached them through an undefeated season Again our vision grows dim and we see a young lady busily writing at a desk ir a .small printing shop. This we are surprised to find is Marjorie King, who is now a fam us story writer. She created that fictitious ha-acter. of western drama known as Wild Joe.” We have all read the story. “Wild Joe’s Last Ride,” but we never had recognized the writer as she writes under the name of Marjorie Weyh. Some of her best stories have been printed in the home-town paper, the Stewartville Gazette” the rival of- the Stewartville Star”. This paper is edited by Mr. William T wey. one cf the best publishers of small-town ne v?’p-rs in the state. As we elance around this office, we look over a copy of this snappy lit. le paper. The comic section is one of the best w? have ever seen. We enjoyed one carto:n s. s drawings especially. It was called Sully Sillies,” drawn by our own Bud” Sullivan. In our next vision, we are stiU in Stewartville, but in a very swanky beauty calon owned by Evelyn Markham and Victor Betcher. Thto is an ultra-modern shop where the customers are en’ertained by motion pictures wiile they are drying their hair. We did not see how the women could hear what the actors are saying, but as the vision became more clear to us, we could see that the dryers were run without any noise whatsoever. This was an invention of Victor Batcher's. Besides being an This Page is sponsored by Professional Friends 7
