H.esnewile.'i ldJUe i W7 Published by the Senior Class of Siewartville High School Stewart ville, Minnesota bedicxiiixut . . We, the Class of 1947, dedicate this annual to the memory of those boys who gave their lives in the last war that we might live in a better world. Their hopes and ambitions will never be realized and ours will be fulfilled only by the maintenance of those ideals for which they fought and died. May we devote our best efforts towards being good Americans, living the Four Freedoms, and with the help of God; thereby, securing a just and lasting peace. PAGE 2 Qold StciSL Jle ioeA . . .

This Page Soonsored By Will's Red Owl Ila F. Burke In September. 1935, a scrub team of 19 members attended the first practice Stewartville Public School. Our first coach was Miss Esther Benedict. For the ne.xi six years we practiced the fundamentals of blocking and tackling reading, writing and arithmetic. But this team also had its brighter moments at picnics and parties In September, 1941, the team advanced up the steps of gridiron fame to seventh grade. Our first scrimmage came when we put on our first assembly program. Om geography state board examination nearly downed us and became our first defeat but we weathered the storm and came through with a victory. The team was toughened by a strenuous work-out of the seventh and eighth grades. In 1943 about eighteen players arrived to strengthen our team and we advanced to the first squad. Lynn Cooper was e ected captain with Phyllis House as co- captain, Patricia Griffin as quarterback, and Joan Sandte as fullback. Mr. Bing- ham was our coach. Our student managers were Marvin Betcher and Mary Ann Kerich. The high-light of this season was our initiation game. Our team was weak- ened by the loss of these promising players: Donald Ellinghuysen. Donald Christen- son, Phyllis Currier, Philip Stoltenburg and Lois Feldt. Rested and raring to go after our summer vacation we started out on another successful season with Miss Byram as our coach, Mary Ann Kerich as captain. Dick Kennedy at co-captain, Patricia Griffin as quarterback, and Doris Jacobson as fullback. Our student managers were Dick Kennedy, Doris Jacobson, Patricia Griffin .and Mary Ann Kerich. Leon Vogt and Ann Burton left our team. To offset our class we gained Russell Heins who supported our team with courage. Patricia Griffin and Mary Ann Kerich cheered our team on to victory and so we ended our tenth season. The kick-off for our eleventh season was on September 2, 1945. Our team was led by the same players as in the tenth season with Mrs. Kelly as coach. Our student managers were Doris Jacobson, Russell Heins, Marvin Betcher and Mary Ann Kerich. David Ewald joined our team and proved himself an able player. Our first major game of the year was our class play, “Calamity Kids.’ We came through with a collosal victory. Our most important game of all our seasons was the Junior- Senior Prom, “Lure of the Woodland.” We spent many weeks in scrimmage and in learning new plays in preparation for this game. It was the most successful prom and banquet in years. We tackled our first game of the 1946 season in the form of an annual. This has been our main project for the year. This year Elaine Cole was our captain: Lynn Cooper, co-captain; Evelyn Kidd, quarterback; and Doris Jacobson, fullback. Mrs. Kelly was again our coach. Marvin Betcher, Mary Ann Kerich, Elaine Cole. Doris Jacobson and Russell Heins were our student managers. We are looking forward to the following games: the class play, class day and night, the prom, and our pic- nic. The high-light of the season will be our graduation, after which the individual members of the team will join various professional teams. We are confident that we will end this season unscored on, undefeated, and untied. PAGE 6 This Page Sponsored By Stoyke's. Meat Groceries. Cold Storage Lockers EeniosU . . .

Place: World’s Fair held in Stewartville the suburb of the Twin Cities, the air-hub of the world. We find Donnie Appel attending the fair as a cameraman for “Life.” He was taking photographs of all tut changes that have been made here in Stewartville since 1947. He says he is shocked at the difference years has made. I was just over to the big circus tent and saw Ruth Ballinger as the head snake charmer. I don't know h- v Ruth does it. but she really has control of those snakes. Is S.H.S. still in existance? I hear Janet Beach is the new principal with David Ewald as superintendent David and Janet were married last year. The poor kids. When we saw the show at the grandstand we were entertained by a very pleasant voiced singer. W, liked him so well that we asked for his real name other than his stage name. And can you imagine, it was none other than Marvin Betcher. Isn’t that wonderful? I wonder where Verna is? I haven’t seen her for a long time. The last time I saw' her was six years ago at her new home in Iowa. Lynn Cooper is the new' coach at the Racine School. I hear his team hasn’t won a game yet. Elaine Cole is in charge of the S H Dept. Store In Stewartville along with Chuck. We had a glimpse of Patricia with some good looking man running in the direction of the ‘Tunnel o' Love.’’ Still at it I guess. Fern Hotopp and Dorothea Krahn are the head secretaries for the “Dick Kennedy Construction Company.' : Dick has gone to town with his new' business. Last year he built a new dam twice the size of Boulder Dam o- the Root River. Phyllis House plays French Horn in her new orchestra she started last year. It took her a long time to get started, but she’s well on her way to success. Oh, and incidentally, her husband plays in it too—that’s probabh why it took her so long. Doris Jacobson and Muriel Thompson are welfare workers on the Olmsted County Welfare Board. We found Glenn and Betty Jo trying to find their way out of the “Glass House.” I see their friendshii still exists. As I was in a hurry, I didn’t get a chance to talk to them. It will be a long time before they get out, no doubt. Oh! look over there. I believe that looks like Mary Ann. I hear she is a trained nurse now. Ervin Erichsen was in the big tent too. You guessed it. He is the world’s tallest man He’s 9 feet 9 inches and still growing. What’s going on over there? Oh. there’s been an accident. It’s Ervie again. He must have forgotten to duck when he went under the gate to the Poultry Yard. Evelyn Kidd is Air Hostess on the main air flight between Stewartville and Racine. As we went by the Merry Go Round we saw Margie getting off with her three little tots that looked just like her. She looked so busy and happy that we didn’t delay her. Ardith Rud is running an old maids’ home on Wooldridge Street. Maxine and Joan go down to visit her while LaVaine is working in his super-market grocery store. Joan Sandte finally settled down to one man. She married LaVaine Shoden and they live on a combination farm and grocery store in Pleasant Grove. I guess she gets up at five o’clock every morning and milks thi cows and feeds the chickens. Maxine Sievertson has taken over the Kate Smith program on the radio. Just tune in every Friday night at 8:00 and you 11 be sure to hear her. Maxine Thorson is still leading lady on the dance floor at Racine, the world’s largest ballroom for old- time music. RusseH Hems finally passed the pepsi cola test after studying for these past ten years. I guess Janis Poesche got him a little inside information though. She is head bottle washer in the Stewartville Pepsi Cola bottlin.� . Sponsored by Co-op. Oil Service Station.

When it comes to art, Ruth Ballinger Is really a challenger Third in line is Janet Beach At portraying old women she's a peach. Then there's that boy Marvin Betcher If he wants a girl he sure can catch her. Verna Christie is really shy But don’t think she hasn’t got a guy. Elaine Cole really worked hard to get to the top And now she’s there, she’s never going to be a flop. Lynn Cooper is really a jolly lad You can be sure you’ll never see him looking sad. If you see someone coming the last minute into the hall Of course—it’s Ervin Erichsen. Boy, Is he tall! The one from the class who is most fun of all Is the one and only David Ewald. Patricia Griffin really helped to cheer the Stewie team Gee; Can she scream! The boy from the senior class who’s so bright he shines Is none other than Russell Hines. Fern Hotopp doesn’t say much But still she has a friendly touch. Phyllis House is planning a career She’s starting college next year. Doris Jacobson is the intelligent one in our class And she really is a sweet and friendly lass. In sports Glenn Kemmer is really a whiz He’s about the best runner there is. The guy who always keeps his butch haircut slick Is the Kennedy of the class, of course. Dick. Mary Ann Kerich is a girl who’s really bright But when you poke her in the back she’s ready to fight Evelyn Kidd really is a nice gal She works hard to be everyone’s pal. Dorothea Krahn. a secretary wants to be So she can sit on her boss’s knee. Janis Poeschel should record her giggle and sneeze On records that are locked together w ith golden keys. Margie Prokasky is quite a dish To be a beauty operator is her w?ish. The girl with the hearty laugh is Ardith Rud She really puts everyone in a good mood. Joan Sandte is one of our prettiest girls. She really has some beautiful curls. LaVaine Shoden didn’t come here until last fall But still he has made friends with all. The gal wrho’s really ‘on the beam’ Is Maxine Sievertson, from Racine. Betty Jo Stoyke once tried to drive a car And ended up in a tree with a terrible jar. Muriel Thompson is another class beauty She’s always ready for fun. but never shirks her duty. The girl who’s really cute from Racine, Is the Thorson girl, of course. Maxine.

One of the first things we did was to elect ou class officers. Dick Schroeder was elected President; Phil Kerich, Vice President Dorothy McClintock, Secretary; and Leroy Swygman, Treasurer. Our Advisor wa Mr. Page the first month and Mr. Blowers for the remainder of the year. A coup months after school started, our President quit school. Phil Kerich became Pres dent then, and Mary Kennedy. Vice President. Our student council members wi Phil Kerich and Mary Kennedy. The next hi-lite in our freshman year was initiation. Oh, what trials and tribu- lations! Then came the homecoming football game and we elected Ellen Cooper to be our Homecoming Queen. When May rolled around we became forty-one sophomores—the other member- of our class either quitting school or moving away. September 1945 and forty sophomores took up their books and prepared for another year of school. We elected Ronald Chamberlain, President of the class. Mar Kennedy was Vice President, Dorothy McClintock was Secretary, and Leroy Swyg man was Treasurer. Miss Phelps was our Advisor. Student Council members were Ronald Chamberlain, Dorothy McClintock, Leroy Swygman, and Mary Kennedy. This time the tables had turned and we were the ones to initiate instead of being initiated. It was around this time that the school house was filled with the smell of limburger cheese. Betty Jo Collins was our Homecoming Queen this year. Our class had diminished to thirty-eight members by the end of the year. Now we are forty-three juniors. Robert Egen is our President. John Brown our Vice President, Dorothy McClintock our Secretary, and Charles Heiser our Treasurer. Mr. Kohlmeyer is our Advisor this year. Our representatives on the Student Council are Robert Egen.

During the halves of football games the band performed intricate maneuvers and added to the enthusiasm of the basketball season by playing at all the home games and at the tournament. At the district contest at Chatfield last year the band received a “B” rating..This year the district contest which was April 17, was preceded by a local elimination contest or April 10. Every member of the band participated in this contest either in an ensemble or as a solo. Tradition- ally the band played at the junior and senior class plays and at the Commencement exercises. The members of the band also do ensemble and solo work. This year two members played with the All State Band at M.E.A. Several members also attended the annual band clinic at Rochester. The 46 members of the glee club with Mary Lee Wilson as their accompaniest sang at the Christmas pro- gram. speech contest. Mothers’ and Daughters’ Banquet, Baccalaureate, and Commencement. The recently organized mixed chorus working without an accompaniest was not able to achieve the stand- ards of perfection required for public performance. The time was spent in studying singing methods to lav a foundation for next year’s work. A boy’s glee club was organized in the middle of the year. The spirit of the twenty boys of this group has made it possible for them to quickly obtain a high standard of musical ability. They sang “Down the Open Road” for the contest. The girls sextet has sung at the football banquet. Legion speech contest, dance, and music contests. This year the girls sang “O’er The Tarn’s Unruffled Mirror” at the local contest. The mixed octette is another group which has sung on many occasions. Last year it went to the regional contest at Austin. This year it sang with the All State Chorus at M.E.A. A class for majorettes was held by Miss Phelps after school hours. Twelve girls competed to lead the band when it marched. About seven majorettes marched with the band and participated in the maneuvers at football games. This year the swing band was organized and it played for several dances.
