SHS Log Tke Good SI S® emor It was in the year of 1939 that our adventurous vessel, freighted with the prospects of a future Senior Class, set out across the unknown seas of school. The crew numbered thirty. During these first few years of adventuring we had very good captains. Each year we changed the name of our ship and had a different captain. This is the way our voyage proceeded. The “First Star with Captain Bene- dict, “The Second Moon commanded by Captain Ny- gaard. “The Third Wave and the Fourth Clipper with- stood the waves with the help and guidance of Captain Zeller. The “Famous Fifth was carried over the rough waters by Captain Carroll, and the Sea-Going Sixth sailed for higher seas with Captain Wilke. It was while we were on the “Lucky Seven that we really gained our sea-legs and were taught the ropes. We sailed from port to port for our classes and came back to the harbor for roll call. We elected our first class captain from the crew of twenty-three. Admiral Stewart helped us on our way. The “Rollicking Eighth was our last ship with a small crew. We numbered twenty-five. Every six weeks we elected a new captain from the crew to run the show . Our class adviser, Admiral Hoselcv, gave us the instructions. The “Knotty Ninth S.H.S. sailed forth in 1948 to conquer more of the unknown seas. We had Captain Wil- liam Mundstock and Admiral Dorothy Jennings with us this time. At initiation the seas were sort of rough. Those Sophomore waves rocked us over with embarrassment. Right at that time we had King Bill Bratrud and Queen Dorothy Rud to show our funniest side. We had a couple of envoys to the Student Council, Captain Mundstock and Lieutenant Heiser. They docked us for the Christmas Dance. We stayed in port long enough to enjoy that very much. The whole crew of fifty-nine came on deck and helped rig the tree, make the candy, and have fun. Our most interesting | ort that year was Whitewater State Park. We mapped the trails and discovered new treas- ures. This w'as our picnic. Captain Dorothy Brownell and Admiral Janell Falling- stad guided Sophomore S.H.S. through safely. We started out with a crew of forty-nine. Lieutenants Richard Heiser. Donald House, and Leona Lee were our envoys to the Student Council together with Captain Brownell. This year it was our turn to rock the Freshmen boat at initiation and we did it with pleasure. At Christ- mas time we again harbored as hosts of the dance. That spring we had to go on board the Junior-Senior Prom and wash dishes, wait tables and serve punch. When we weren’t busy we danced on the stage deck on our old sailor clothes. The “Jolly Junior set sail with a crew of forty-nine, C aptain Leona Lee, and Admiral Dorothy Byram. We started out on the high seas by selecting our class rings. Almost immediately we had to look ahead into the future and see the waves coming up in the form of dollar signs for the prom. So. we were forced to anchor for a few weeks and practice for Enter the Hero our class play. Vice Admiral James Bacon coached us. We rek ased several members of our crew for this production — Richard Heiser, Dorothy Brownell, Joan Chamberlain, Colleen Carr, Donald Kidd, Donald House. Phyllis Lyman, Richard I ravis, and 'Theodore Walters. I he envoys to the Student Council. Donald House, Dorothy Brownell, and Mary Jo Boucsein together with Captain Lee again docked us for the Christmas Dance. It is going to seem unusual when we can’t anchor in S.H.S. for a Christmas Dance any more. It is so much fun to give them. We had a queen again this year, Valentine Queen Lor- etta Golberg. Her attendants were Dorothy Brownell Joan Chamberlain, Phyllis Lyman, and Coleen Carr. The crew was proud of them. Not long after this, we set sail again. For about four months the Jolly Junior followed the stars. On May 20, 1950, we anchored at “ I reasure Island . Here we help a Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. We dined on Gold nuggets, and danced to the “Sailor’s Hornpipe. I he best ship of all, “The Good Ship Senior” set out to sea with a crew of forty-five. Captain Leona Lee and Admiral Lyle Stoefan with Lieutenants Donald House. Dorothy Brownell, and Mary Jo Boucsein as envoys to the Student Council worked together with this crew to make the seas smoother and to prepare us for the rougher seas of life. We lowered the anchor in October to select a Home- coming Queen. Queen Evelyn Engel reigned with Doro- thy Brownell, Colleen Carr. Phyllis Lyman, and Joan Chamberlain as attendants. We presen ted “Miss Jimmy our class play, in November and the Christmas Dance in December. Both were successes so in high spirits we set sail again. On June 1st we leave this ship and start to sail our individual ways of life. We have this motto: “Tonight we launch, w here shall wc anchor? to help us. Ship ahoy! Off we go, pursuing, with some misgivings the long and uncertain passages. The sailing thus far has been full of enjoyable moments and we thank everyone for giving them to us. — 12

Senior Class Proplhecy SHS Log In ihe ocean liner, “White Roses , in the year 1961, I was looking at the Statue (if Liberty as it grew smaller and smaller, as the ship pulled away from New York, when someone tapped me on the shoulder I turned and to my surprise it was Mary Jo Bouscein and her husband, an oil magnate, from Texas. They were on their way to make a tour of Europe. After a bit I went down below to find Gene and Irene Kunkle; they are now going around the world as the “Toni Twins . Gene just said that Hud Walters is pro- ducing his own moving pictures on the Island of Stromboli. At our first stop we find Ken Mayer, who has nude quite a name for himself since his departure from the I'nited States. Ken has lieen doing experimental farming in Africa. Our liner leaves for the beautiful city of Paris. Look at that little redhead coming this wav; it looks like, yes. Joann Chamberlain. After talking to her we find she is the leading fashion designer in Paris. Madrid, Spain is a nice city with a fiesta on. Well, here is a place that looks like a “Tunnel of Love . I here goes Barb Hale with some good hxiking man in that direc- tion. Still at it I guess. At Stockholm, Sweden we find Marilyn Ballinger re- ceiving the Nobel Prize for outstanding work in chemistry. Our boat docks at the City of London to find the Olympics just finished. Dick Hieser has been proclaimed the world's fastest runner. “Rome— The Vatican City — a voice from behind whispered. I automatically turned to see a beautiful blond sitting on a sailor’s lap. Billy Mundstock pulled his square sailor's cap off his forehead and w ith his free arm waved it at me, “Ahoy! Just as I was going over to talk to Billy I found my train was ready to leave for Naples. Who did I see next but Doris Bredesen, her husband, and three little tots! Doris told me they were touring Italy. We left Italy only to come to Arabia. Here we found Dick Born selling dates! It certainly was a relief to stop traveling and to view the city of Bombay from a night club terrace. There was good entertainment also. An American dancing couple were doing a new step. As we looked at them a little closer, to our surprise, we found it was Donna Oakes and Keith Kemmer! “Ah, this is the life— it's just like heaven—I'm going to come to the .South Sea Islands oftener, a soft voice spoke. As we turned we saw the noise came from none other than Gordon Hansen surrounded by a bevy of beautiful girls. Gordon told us that Ken Francis has been in Aus- tralia for ten years trying to find a way to exterminate rabbits. Our cruiser docks at Yokohoma. Japan, only to find Helen Dalland as chief hair dresser there. We discovered Olivin Renken making good in Alaska as a fur trapper. At Vancouver, Canada, Dorothy Brownell was taking vacation from her hard work as a nurse in Minnesota. In San Francisco, the next city, we visited someone told us that Don House has taken Gene Krupa over on his famous drums and Phyll Lyman sings with his orchestra. Look at that huge airplane factory! Let’s see, it says “Bill Bratrud's Super Flying Factory.” Who would ever think his model airplane hobby would lead to this? We start down the road to Phoenix only to be stopped by a cute little blond on a horse. Why it's none other than Evelyn Engel! We find she is Roy Roger’s leading lady and queen of the cowgirls! By now you have probably guessed that we left ship White Roses,” in Los Angeles and are now traveling by car. Until now it has been a peaceful drive with beautiful scenery', when all at once it was ruined by some women drivers who smashed into us. To our surprise the women drivers were Loretta Goldberg and DeVonne Nelson, traveling the West coast. What’s all this noise here in Salt Lake City—why it’s the all-girl basketball team The American Redheads”. Who is on the team but Audrey Kerich and Mardie Mc- Neal! Looks like Donna Mills and Carol Crowley — what are they doing here? On. yes, they are the nurses for the Redheads when they get hurt playing. I wonder whatever became of Marjorie Ostendorf— the last time I saw her was six years ago in her home town of St. Louis. Here we are back at Rochester, Minnesota. The Mayo Clinic is more famous than ever. I saw Darleen Sinn on the street and she said Vivian Evenson was working with her as a secretary. Oh, yes, Donnie Kidd is one of the elevator boys. My but he certainly does have his ups and downs! Darleen also told me that Leona Lee is one of the leading doctors at the Clinic. We traveled on to Racine to find Doris Osborn as Ra- cine High School’s first woman coach (they haven’t won a game yet). What’s this! Two women hitch-hikers— why it’s Lea Renken and Dorothy Vrieze! We picked them up only to find they are teachers in the same school and while they were home on vacation the buses and trains went on strike so they just had to get back. They told us in their ride that Dick 'Pravis now plays for the Minneapolis Lakers. They also said that I.eVern Lowrie has taken the position as University of Minnesota football coach. Minnesota won the Rose Bow l, you know. The next days passed quickly as we arrived at Wash- ington, D.C. where we found Dick Sackett as Secretary of Agriculture with his wife, the former Belva Sanborn. Belva takes her place in the society of Washington. Lake Success, New York is the home of the I nited Nations and here we find Dwayne Bernard as its president. He told us that Colleen Carr was chosen as Mrs. America of 1960. Bill Woods is just a New York play-boy who collects stamps on the side. Katherine Markham and her husband have a shop in New York in which they sell Chinese jade jewelry. They are fairly dripping with money! Our tour round the world has ended and our reunion w ith the class of 1951 has also ended. 13 —
