 Globi Pnofdi cif . I. „ now the year 1940. I am walking through the streets of Stewartville. Minnesota, after ten y ears of absence The firstling I can s els a new sign up by the Standard Service Station. It reads ean,es Standa Serv, CouWtha be broadcasting the baseball game they haven’t lost a game7 Upon that I leave Wayne to tend to h,s fllhng.Utfonbu, wa.t -1 am alm,!st run down by a flashy 1959 Lincoln Convertible. ‘Hey. why don’t you look where vou re going’’ Well if it isn’t Roger Simpson. Whai’s youi hurry Rog? Did you see a pretty girl or something? Roger answers No I have to get to W.sconsin in a hurry. You see I left my popcorn stand with a new man and I am worried he w.Tnot be able to handle all the business alone. ” Good old Rog. He always did know how to pop the com! Heavens Sakes! Look at that hen-pecked man over there carrying all the kids and groceries, and1 his vjife strutting carefree along beside him. Say. he looks sort of familiar to me. I think 111 go over and see if I know them. We i bless my ui i. lt ,sn t Maw and Paw Goldberg—better known to all of us as Jean and Sonny. Oh. and there is .he regular auction sign in the window. Say. it looks like Robert Nelson is selling his farm in Rock Dell. It seems he ha: inherited the Engel ranch west of Stewarlville. „ , . . . . .. Mmmmmmm look at that swanky restaurant over there. Feeling a little hungry 1 walked in and was welcomed by the sight of a beautiful waitress, silk table cloths, fresh flowers, and a wonderful orchestra. What else could the name of this building be but Oogies Joint. The orchestra s featured singer is Miss Dorothy Lyman, who has beer, carried over by popular demand for the third consecutive year. As I was delving into my food, I was startled by a giggle from the next table. As I looked up I saw it was none other than Marilyn Brownell. She is just taking time out from het- new play. Jane Eyre, in which she has the starring role. Marilvn and I had quite a talk. She said that she was in the Clinic the other day and she saw Merlin Halstead operating an elevator. My. he sure has had his ups and downs. She also said that Audrey Bennett was a medical secretary up there Having (finished my chat with Marilyn. I went up to pay my check and as I was leaving I ran into a cute little chick whom I recognized as Marilyn Tolstead. What was her hurry? She is head waitress in Oogies Joint,” and she is almost late On recovering my senses I can hear the church bells ringing, telling the people that tomonow is Sunday. I understand that they have a new minister. I believe that his name is Re erend Kvam. Walking down further I see a sign that points to a beauty salon. Why the name is Ellen's Beauty Parlor. Must be she is quite a success as I just see the famous movie star. Miss Josnne Renken, leaving after her beauty treatments. I can also hear the little newsboy on the corner shouting in the loudest voice. World's Richest Farmer to Wed After Long. Exciting Courtship.” Elman Hanken finally consents tc marry Margie Prokasky. Anxious to find out more about this. I hurried over to buy a paper. As I glanced quickly through the headlines. I am amazed. The cause of the surprise was the heading, Mr. And Mrs. Wesley Glover Celebrate Their Fifth Wedding Anniver- sary Sunday.” It seems that Mary Ann Boeder is a one-mar girl. As I turned to the sports section, whose name should I see first but Ronald Ferson. It seems his pitching arm has won anothei baseball season for the New York Giants. Net only tr.at. but Robert Rud has just won the lightweight Championship at Madison Square Garden. The human interest section shows in big letters The Park Board Proudly Announces The Dedication Of The New Statue Of Norbert Schroedei. The title of tnis masterpiece is The Man Behind The Plow.” Alse I notice that Robert Carson just purchased the Judy Canova show and now accompanies her with his accordian; and Audrey Buchholz is now chief joke writer for Bernie Lust at K R.O.C The society page shows Doris Kath has just married again. She just married Zeke McCoy, leader of the Hillbillies in the Ozarks. Well, enough of that. What in that slow procession of cars coming down the street? It looks like a funeral. Oh, it is a funeral. I guess I’d better ask that man over there what it is all about. Oh. he says that Ulysses S. V. Updyck has just passed away leaving to his grieving wife. Georgia Weber, an estate of 10 million dollars. My there seems to be a large crowd gathered around the courthouse. I might as well go in and see what is going on. Why—they are having a trial here today. If I can sneak in I will see who is suing who and why. Well of all things. Lavonne Tjepkes, airline hostess on the T.W.A.. is suing Anne MeNeal for hazardous plane driving. She claims that every time she gets over a certain part of Wisconsin she flies tco low and dips her wrings. Well, I guess they will have to fight that out themselves. I must be by the bus depot now a:, a big Greyhound bus is pulling in. Why look who tne driver is! It's Wayne Denny in person. My. what a big man that is getting on. Why. hr if. coming over to me. Could it be I know him? “Why—Michael Keefe! My but you’ve changed.” What? You say you are just leaving on the bus to attend the Olympics? Well, well. Wond- ers never cease. It seems to me now that I had heard he war the fastest man in the world. In running, that is. I asked him where Mildred Schroeder was. He told me that she runs a lingerie shop, and is still living off the fat of the land. It is late and I better get myself a room at the hotel for the night. I wonder if the Tews Hotel is still here. As I walk in I see little bellboys all over the place. Why look who is behind the desk! Tom Moran. He says his wife is running the place formerly known as the Dutch Kitchen. It is now called Nellie’s Barroom. Poor Arlene. She sure works hard to keep that and her family going. He enlarged the building to fifteen stories to make room for all his little bellboys. Delores Berg decor- ated all the rooms for him. And I might add. she sure did a beautiful job. As I crawl into bed and turn out the light I see a big light glaring in mv room on the 14th floor. It says Queen Tutt.” Who is that working so late in the building? I do believe it looks like Donna Mae Peters, former secretary to the late King Tutt. After he died she became heir to his fortune which he made selling his product. Well, finally she turns o flfthe light. Now for a good nights sleep.

Gla±i . . . Father Time has never had a chance to get acquainted with the class of '49 even though his first contact with us was on a tragic day in September. 1945. On that day forty eager (butgreen) freshmen tripped gayly into the cheerful assembly. Oh happy day! They elected Miss By ram, advisor: Robert Dixon, president; Anne McNcal. vice-president; Donna Peters, secre- tary; and Jean Jordan, treasurer. Then came the great day of Initiation. It was a day that will always be remembered From that day the weeks went by fast, and Father Time soon fell behind. Then we were Sophomores. This time as we entered the assembly it wasn’t quite so cheerful and the gay tripping wasn't so much like tripping but like tripping. However, we had gained two new members. This year coach of our team was Miss Byram; with Roger Kvam as captain, along with Dorothy Lyman, Donna Mae Peters, and Beverly Egen in the back field. All in all the game that year was a successful one. Then came 1947. We were the outstanding class of the year (we said). We elected Mrs. Kelly master of our ship, with Ronnie Gathje guiding us in the wheel position, with some spokes who were Beverly Egen, Donna Mae Peters, and Joan Jordan. We put on two successful class plays which brought in quite a bit of cabbage, (money, that is). With this we put on one of the best proms in the high school history under the direction of Mr. Stoefen, who became class advisor upon Mrs Kelly’s departure. Seniors! We strutted into the assembly with our nose up, as we sneered at the freshmen. Huh! I guess they knew who we were. We were Seniors! We chose Mr. Stoefen to direct our activities, assisted by Ronald Gathje as president. Robe:’. Dixon as vice-president. Donna Mae Peters as secretary, and Jean Jordan as treasurer. This year we had an annual, class play, class day. picnic, commencement and the prom. All are events that are to be looked back on for years to come. We have finished the race with 35 members and we are going forward with Father Time We. the Senior Class of 1949. of Stewartville High School, in the Village of Stewartville, in the County of Olmsted, State of Minnesota, being of 35 memoers, all of sound body and disposing mind and memory and not acting, do make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament before we leave this learned institution.
