Russy our tall basketball center has always believed an the Good Nexghbor Policy How ever the junior Senior Banquet of 1949 and his trip to Redwood Falls with Lucille proved to be quite mterestmg Lately his interests have been centered In the Freshman Class with none other than joan Engelsen Keith Olson s lovelife is probably the most eventful of all Wtndom has been the focusing point with Sherry Gustafson one of his first interests His mterests have also shifted to Westbrook and Lamberton and now back to Storden where Lucille is the main attraction And then there is Bob Stahl We don t know too much about Bob s romances in his Freshman and Sophomore years as he spent them in Westbrook But as for his junior and Semor years his little hikes to Bunker Hill have proved to be quite interestmg Since the junior Class play his interests have also shifted to Wxndom where the attractxon is none other than Marion Tassler Little Arla is the quxetest Semor and therefore hasn t revealed her lovelife That leaves us to guessing that maybe she and Waverly have a silent romance After all they attended country school together We will always remember Arla when she appeared in red underwear 1n the Senior Class play Currie and jeffers have seemed to occupy his time john wxll always be remembered for his hearty laugh The fameless saying heard when a good joke is told to john is that the joke registered because he always responds with a laugh Myrtle Oleson is the most unpredictable of the Seniors Her interests have been scattered from Lamberton Worthington Westbrook and Storden ln her Freshman year Cliffs trucking business was the mam attraction Myrtle doesn t like window peekers but she says if they have to look whe wished they would wait until after she had flxed her hair At least that s what Myrtle relates in her story of what happened at the State Basketball Tournaments in 1949 Everyone is wondering what Waverly does during the nine months that Nancy is at her home in Little Falls Horses are better than girls anyway aren t they Wave? ?
