DEDICATION Out of a feeling of deep respect and admiration for our fighting men everywhere, we, the senior class of ’45 dedicate this book to those members of our class who relinquished the right of gradu- ating with us to become members of a greater class—our country’s armed forces.

First, the photographer came and took pictures of the many organizations in school. From that day on the Seniors really worked on the annual. Typewriters were in use constantly, snapshots were handed in, and records from days gone by were unearthed. Each member of the class was placed on a committee and a member of the staff was in charge of each of these groups.

There are representatives from grade 7 through 12 on the Student Council. These representatives are elected by each class. This year the Council conducted a very successful Courtesy Campaign. The Council also has the responsibility of trying students who are brought before them for breaking the laws of the school. Another job the members had this year was to act as policemen during the pep fests and the inter-class tournaments. The Student Council meets on Monday of every week during the school hours in accordance with the Council Constitution.

In September of 1943 a class of 34 members entered in S. H. S. They elected as their officers the following: Mr. Bingham, Class Adviser; Lynn Cooper, Presi- dent; Phyllis House, Secretary; Joan Sandte, Treas- urer. Mary Ann Kerich and Marvin Betcher were their student council representatives, and Joan Sandte was their candidate for homecoming queen. Kenneth Born, Donald Christenson, Lois Feldt, Darvin Nietz and Philip Stoltenberg quit school their first year, and Phyllis Currier changed to the Pine Island school. After three months vacation they returned in September 1944 to resume their schooling. They were sorry to lose Donald Ellinghuyen and Ralph Kuisle, but heartily welcomed their new members, Page fourteen Margie Prokasky, Clinton Lawson, Ann Burton and Russell Heines. This year they elected as their leaders: Class Adviser, Miss Byram; President, Mary Ann Kerich; Vice President, Phyllis House; Secretary, Patricia Griffin; Treasurer, Doris Jacobson. Their student council representatives were Mary Ann Kerich, Patricia Griffin, Richard Ken- nedy and Doris Jacobson. Patricia Griffin was elected as candidate for Homecoming queen. Clinton Lawson and Ann Burton dropped school and there are 27 members in their class at present. We hope this promising class will go forward together through their remaining two years of high school.

On September 5, 1944, fifty-three students en- rolled in the Stewartville School to begin their Freshmen year. They elected as their leaders: Class Adviser, Mr. Blowers; President, Phil Kerich; Vice President, Dorothy McClintock; Secretary, LeRoy Swygman; Treasurer, Mary Kennedy. The Freshies were legally initiated into high school by the Sophomores on October 6th. Mary Kennedy was freshman candidate for Homecoming queen. During the year eight of these newcomers drop- ped their school activities. They were: Arthur Brandt, Betty Hodge, Richard Schroeder, Alice Shultz, June Sorenson, Raymond Sullivan and Donald Wytaske. We all hope that the remaining forty-five mem- bers will continue and complete their four high school years.

Our first night of practice this year found five teams out, which is a big squad. There were only four seniors out for basketball. The rest of the squad ranged from seventh grade boys to juniors. We got off to a slow start by losing the first three games. The first game we won was with Spring Valley and this was rated as a major upset. After that we set two state records this year. One was making 32 points in one quarter and the other was holding our opponents down to 4 field goals in one game. Our Sub-District Tournament was played on March 1, 2, 3. Because Pine Island, Dodge Center and Stewartville were tied for first place in our con ference we had to draw for the byes. Dodge Center drew first place and we drew second. This meant we would play the winner of the Pine Island-Kasson game in which Pine Island won. We beat Pine Island in a very close game 25-23. In the Cham- pionship game we beat Dodge Center 41-25, which entitled us to the trophy. We entered District 3 Tournament March 7 and played Lake City in which we were upset 33-28.

The Stewartville football team got off to a bad start this year with only 17 men reporting the first night of practice. After coaching ourselves for two weeks, we got under way with the assistance of Ray Page, who was later replaced by Cliff Blowers. Under the fine leadership of Arthur Roeder and Philip Chamberlain as cocaptains, our team did as well as could be expected for the number of men out. There were five lettermen back from last year but most and sophomores.

BAND Vincent Kling Director This year’s hand was started last Sep- tember under the direction of Vincent Kling. At the beginning of the year the band consisted of only 26 players, but it has now advanced to 32 players. The band will participate in the music contest which takes places at Chatfield in May. Besides the band, a brass quartette, woodwind quartette, and solos will be en- tered. We are proud of the rapid advance- ment of the band and the wonderful super- vision Mr. Kling has given in making it pos- sible. We’ve enjoyed hearing the band at basketball and football games and are look- ing forward to its annual spring concert and summer band concerts. MAJORETTE At football games during the past two years our band was led by our majorette, Arva Prescher. She has done a splendid job of twirling the baton and leading the band.

During the year the Career Club has sold over $1,202 in stamps and bonds.

JUNIOR CLASS In spite of the fact that the play cast nearly gave the coach, Miss Joan Bultrud, a nervous break- down because they wouldn’t settle down and learn their parts, “Mama’s Baby Boy” was a great success. The play was a hilarious comedy about a widow and a widower who were secretly plotting to marry PLAY OF 1944 each other for money. Each had a teen-age child whom they dressed several years their junior in order to make their parents appear younger. The play ended when the two plotters discovered their efforts had been in vain and that they could find happiness without money.

From the letters we’ve written back and forth and from the newspapers we’ve read, much information has been gathered about our class. We were voted the class most likely not to succeed, but after 10 years this is what we’ve accomplished. Gordon Andreason has really come up in the world. He is now publisher of “Bigger and Better Comic Books.” Donna Bailey has just returned from a trip to Paradise Island where her husband is stationed with the Navy. She has taken her former position as cook at the State Hospital—did I say cook? We found Helen Mae in the windy city of Chicago. She has a studio of her own where she teaches dancing lessons, specializing in the “High- land Fling.” Olive is producing a new play on broad way en- titled “The Man of My Life.” James Slightam is in the starring role. Our student council president Phil is now a Rear Admiral in the Navy. He has been looking forward to a leave with his wife Beverly and chil- dren. Bev has been kept busy taking care of their 100 acre chicken ranch while he is away. Nadine Clement and Lucille Cole are far away from us. They are doing missionary work in the Belgian Congo. Joanne Crowley is kept buzzing all day at the KROC radio station. She is advertising announcer for the 3 and 10 cent stores in Rochester. Gail Dickinson has taken Joan Edward’s place on the Hit Parade. When she and Lawrence Tib- bet sing a duet it really sends you! Willis Drewes and George O’Byrne can sit back and take life easy with the money they’ve received from their book entitled, “How to Stay Single and Like It.” Naaman is just where we expected he’d be He’s Supreme Court Judge. Lucille Hall has an excellent position with M.G.M. in Hollywood. She is head secretary for the whole studio. Mildred Hanken and La Von Podein have man- aged to be with each other all these years. They are both nurses and run a hospital of their own in Arizona. Carmen Johnson has advanced in her position too. She is now head of the reducing department at the largest beauty salon in Minneapolis. Margaret Kemmer is running a day nursery in the ever-growing city of Racine. Tom Kennedy has plenty of girls on his hands. He’s teaching boy’s basketball to the women stud- ents at Vassar. Gloria Kvam is Hollywood’s leading dramatic star of screen and radio. Another girl of our class, Ivah, is also on her way to Hollywood for a screen test after winning the Atlantic City beauty contest. Faith Lucy was running up and down the scale of her clarinet when I saw her one day. She in- formed me she is now 1st clarinet player with the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra. Morris Patten works from dawn ’til dusk on his 10 acre farm. He is married and has two little helpers. I’m afraid we’d have to go up in the sky some- place to find Arva. She takes daily flying lessons from Bob Skyhawk. Kathleen Rime is working for the F.B.I. in Washington, D. C., of which her husband is now the head. Artie Roeder is commanding officer of the S. S. Minnesota. Maryls Eppard is his chief cook and bottle washer. Anita Schroeder is the singing star of her all girl orchestra touring Europe—touring for men. Elizabeth Schroeder has accepted the position as instructor of household mechanics in good old S. H. S. When I last talked with Alline Sievertson she didn’t know whether she would say “yes” to a soldier or a sailor. Tubby and Audrey Woolridge have taken over the Racine Oil Company. When I visited the Ringling Brothers circus one day—who should I see but Dorothy Struve as a barker for the trained monkeys side show. Remem- ber her big mouth? Helen Sullivan’s face was covered with a smile when she told me she was happily married and liv- ing in Rollingstone. The two Rosies of our class are now featured as the “Rosie Posie Chorus Girls.” They are the high spot every evening in the floor show at the Valencia Ballroom. 1 know you’ll all be happy to hear that Tom Tyseling has finally received his first class private stripes in the Army Air Corps. Donna Weatherly sits and chews her gum con- tentedly now. She is president of the Wrigley Chewing Gum Company. This Page Sponsored by Dr. R. J. Kerich, Sfewartville and Alt.

Dottie was elected homecoming queen, By the members of this year’s football team. “Goose” works in Cuttings’ and Tom in the drug store, They both can do wonders on a basketball floor. When you hear a giggle pitched quite high, You know that Joanne Crowley is nearby. Chemistry equations are easy for Lucille, To be a nurse is her one ideal. Our blonde bombshell from Racine, Is none other than Rosie Green.

At our head, our ablebodied officers, Vernon Leqve, Betty Ann Rud, and Dick Swenson were commissioned, with Mrs. Hormann and Miss Mooney as com- manders-in-chief. We finally gained a beach-head and settled down to do our best. We suffered a few casualties the first few days but we were not stopped. The casualties were heavy that first year and as we started our next big push in ’42 we found we had lost 12 men. Some of them had gone to other fronts. New officers took command and heading us was Miss Maxwell with a determined staff consist- ing of Tom Kennedy, Dorothy Struve, Gail Dickin- son, and Naaman Glynn. Our correspondent was Arva Prescher; head of Intelligence was Dorothy, Arva, Beverly Markham, and Dick Swenson. To boost our morale we had Dorothy and Gordon An- dreasen. We fought hard with a casualty now and then, but our efforts were well rewarded. We did not meet much resistance and we gained a lot of ground. We then stopped to rest and regroup our forces for another big push. A few new officers were added and some of the same old veterans stayed. At Chief-of-Staff we found Miss Bultrud, a new but determined leader with new ideas. Our Commander was Tom Kennedy, with his staff consisting of Arva, Lucille Hall and Bev. Intelligence found Dorothy, Tom Kennedy, Bev, and Philip Chamberlain at its head and our correspondent was Bev. Back came Dottie and Gordon to cheer us on toward our goal. Our forces had dropped from 49 to 39 but we had what it takes. We encountered stiff resistance in Declams, Class Play, and so on, but everyone gave it all they had and we broke through and another battle was won! Again we stopped to rest and regroup and get set for the biggest and final push; the drive that would see us victorious. Miss Maxwell was once again put in Command with the old veteran now, Tom Kennedy, giving orders. He had Bev, Rosie Towey, and Dorothy to back him up. Intelligence with Phil in Command, and Tom Kennedy, Dorothy, and Bev gave all they had. Lucille Hall took over the job as correspondent and Helen Mae Bratrude, Rosie, and Arva gave us a needed cheer. The enemy was frantic now and gave us everything they had. Pictures taken, Annual, Class Play, Class Day, Commencement Program, the barrage was terrific but nothing could stop us now. Everyone was giving all he had and in Graduation we broke through victorious. Sixty-five had marched onto the battlefield and only thirty-seven emerged from the final battle. The loss was heavy and we give thanks to those who did their part and are not here now. We have achieved a goal that everyone is proud of. Now we can go and look for bigger battles, and no matter how big or hard these battles may be, we will always be thankful for the experi- ence and courage the battle we have now won has given us.
