Written by Merry Helm May 24, 2021 - When school let out on this date in 1986, People magazine had already been to McLeod, in Ransom County, to cover the story. There were only 14 one-room schoolhouses still operating in the state, and McLeodâs was closing its doors. Of the three students still attending in 1986, two would be moving up to seventh grade, and there was no way to keep the school running for the youngest remaining child. The story of the Salund School was used as the lead âUp Frontâ story in People and was ten pages long. It was the first time the magazine led an issue with a feature story told only through photographs and captions. That was probably due to extra care taken by photographer, Barry Staver, who considered the assignment one of his most personally rewarding. He recalled visiting the classroom in February â it was 18 below when the kids went outside for recess.
On May 26, 1920, baby Norma Egstrom was born in Jamestown, North Dakota. Better known by her stage name Peggy Lee, this child went on to forge a successful and fulfilling career as an internationally renowned, world-class singer and songwriter. This year, May 26th marks her 101st birthday. Peggy Lee attended public school in Wimbledon, where her father was stationed as an agent for the Midland Continental Railroad. During her high school years, she performed with a small band, sang nights at a Valley City restaurant and secured her first âprofessionalâ appearance when she performed on the radio at KOVC, Valley City, in November 1936. A month later, she performed live at the Valley City Eagles Club during their New Yearâs Eve celebration and not after that was given a 15-minute radio show at the station by manager Robert Ingstad.
