RALLY in Walker, Minnesota
The second annual "Rendezvous at Leech Lake Y' all" (RALLY) will be Monday,
August 5, 1991 . The time is 6:30 - 9:30 p.m. and place is the City Park just
east of downtown Walker along Leech Lake's south shore. Refreshments will be
served.
We expect over 100 alums after the smashing success of last year and the
interest generated for this year. It's a happening and will be the place to be
on August 5.
Last August Arnold Bates '46 was our lost list although he was at home a few
blocks away. On our "Wanted" list for this year is Sheila Grant Moe '55, a full
time resident of nearby Park Rapids. Let's have a large turnout in August at the
"RALLY"!

school, community and business life. AHSAA has awarded Jones the second annual
AHAA scholarship of $500 given to a student exemplifying the best in an all

Then it's off to St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minn. to study Spanish and
international relations.

fellow honor graduates at the honors banquet (see the speech 7 elsewhere in this
issue), editor of the Spirit and staff writer for the Web. She was on junior and
senior senate and student council.
She served on a committee that assisted with
mainstreaming the Willson-Beardshear students into Ames High. Meanwhile she

In addition to our scholarship Jones was i State of Iowa Scholar, won a
