r Anchors Aweigh inventor, Victor is also one of The best feminine hair stylists in the world, and Stew- artville is proud to have him in its large city. In a workshop near Racine, we see Dewane Brueske putting the finishing touches on a talking clock for tardy scholars. Upon awaking in the morning, the pupil is told the time, and at 5-minute intervals, the clock calls off the minutes left to reach the schoolhouse. Tnis invention is sure to be successful. And as we watch t.iis vision fade, we see a large .vkyscarper in the city of Rochester, known as the Rochester Rocket Center Co. Tnis is where plans for new designs in aii planes are made. Mr. Lawrence Halls is the manager of this organiza- tion. He has hundreds of helpers under his bidding in this business of modeling air- planes. We could see many model planes on his desk, which made us think of the time in English class, when Lawrence told us about his hobby of making model air- planes. In this large building, there is a school for aviators and stewardesses. A new graduate stewardess, who was praised for her courage and daring on solo flights, is Miss Ruth Nelson. We thought Ruth would become a bookkeeper, but we think this is a much more exciting occupation. We are surprised to find cur next vision takes us to a strange town, which after- wards we recognize as New York. Our attention is attracted by a slender well-dress- ed young man woo is quite bald. His walk seems To be familiar. He goes into a large building, which we see is the stock exchange. A large man, with a boxer’s muscles, seems to be foll:win.g him. Yes, that we recognize to be Robert S ckett, who must be this well-dressed fellow’s bodyguard. Soon t.iey enter an office, on the door of which is printed, VERNON JACOBSON, PRESIDENT STOCK EXCHANGE. We see now why Vern.n needs a bodyguard. He Is a wealthy broker, and if he is as he used to be in old S. H. S.. he needs protection from the many New York girls. We see he is very safe, though, as besides a bodyguard he has as his business and heart affairs' manager. Miss Maxine Janssen. S.ie receives high wages, too. Our next picture is in a church. It is a very Tashionable south-side wedding, with all the pomp and ceremony possible. Mil.on Janssen id giving the couple directions, so he must ba the minister. When he gives the signal for the ceremony ta start, we are somewhat surprised to recognize the (beaming groom as Joyce Johnson. His little bride is surely a beauty. We were very sorry the vision faded so soon from this happy sight. vv’e new seem to be in that part of New York known as Radio City. We are in the audition room of Station ZXDG. Suddenly the catchy rythem of a dance band is heard. Tae Vision Lv clearer, and we see Lie director of the band seated at the piana. We hear the announcer say: “Let me introduce to you, ladies and gentle- men, the second Eddie Duchin Mr. DUNANE YUST. As that vision fades we are in another part of the station, and a young lady is reading recipes over the Cookery Hour. She is Betty Crocker’s rival and' we recognize her to be our former classmate—Harriet Glover! As the vision faded, we are sur- prised t find Mat we are still in the same radio station, but there is a different program being broadcast. It is called the Wide-Awake program, and we see Curtney Brueske telling the listeners how to do early-morning exercises. It was very amusing to see him go through the motions and to hear him count: 1-2, l -2,1-2; but the vision fades, and we see in our next picture, the White House at Washington. We visit the Congress to see the Speaker of the House, Hon. William Bleifuss. This is not sur- prising as he was our class Valedictorian in ’39. We now see a lady lawyer, Lorraine Schultz, defending the accused in a large courtroom. She is the best criminal lawyer in the United States, and famous for her wit and ability to get the judge on her side. In our next vision, we see the sign in big. black letters. “SWENSON CHICK FARM! ’ This we find to be a large farm with 40.000 chickens, owned and operated by Dorothy Swenson. Her love of chickens and tne farmer’s life make her farm the successful place we see. In our new vision, we are in a large Orphans’ Home. We recognize the woman in charge as Clarice Clement, who is the Head Matron. Before the vision fades, we can see the love and respect with which she is treated by the little children. There are only a few of our classmates left whose future we have not seen, but t.ie vision fades once again to briffg forth a new picture. It is in the old Hayloft in Chicago at the National Barn Dance. We cannot imagine who of our many class- mates could be there, but as we watch the pr:gram, we hear the beloved name of Rosella Sullivan, who is going to sing one of her popular Yodeling Songs. We are now in the Mayo Auditorium at Rochester, a large circus is being held. Donald Skyhawk is the owner of the show, in which we see the following feat- ure attractions: A real Snake Charmer directly from India, Ray Stiles; The Fattest Midget, Francis Squires; The Girl Who Can Juggle 200 golf balls at ONE time, Yolanda Wallner. We watch her act, which is one of the best in circus history. In another part of the famous Mayo Auditorium, we see a large group listening to an interesting speaker, who is Miss Louise Schultz, world-famous worker for the temperance cause. Unlike most lecturers on temperance, her talks are both educat- ional and interesting. All too s on the vision fades and we are in the wilds of Africa. In the very thickest part of the jungle we find John Lenton and Owen Erichsen capturing fierce animals to be used in motion pictures. While we watch, we see Bring ’Em Back Alive Papooski in the act of trapping a ferocious tiger. He walks slowly up to the tiger, grits his teeth, and the tiger after one look, walks docily into the cage, while John closes the do:r. We have never seen such a clever system as this, and we know these boys have become very rich in this particular work. This Page is Sponsored By Parent-Teachers Association of Stewartville

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
