ea T H E L O G FJ Class History Well, we are at last the progressive class of 1948. Who would think to look at us now, that four years ago we were green Freshies entering the Portals of Higher Education. Today we are polished young men and women. When we entered in September, 1944, we were all looking forward to the new opportunities that higher learning would give us. The members of our class that year were: William Anderson, Roland Bakemeyer, Florence Behn Rita Beller, Sallv Birkholz, Thomas Brown, Jean Buck, Orlando Chada. Donna Eschenbauch, Edith Gehrke, Willard' Hagstrom, Bernice Haling, Donald Harris, Robert Kassien, Robert Knapstein, Paul Knickelbein, Carol Melang, Norris Oxley, Doris Rudolph, llarjorie Sawyer, Patsy Schuman, Janet Stewart, Velna Yocum, Jean Young. When we chose our class oHicers we thought we were very much grown up as it was the first thing of any importance that We had undertaken, and our first step toward being adults. Our officers were: President, Norris Oxley, Vice President, Robert Kassien, Secretary, Rita Beller, Treasurer, Orlando Chada, Student Council, Thomas Brown and Jean Young. In 1945 we were the great Sophomore class. A few of our classmates left us that year. Jean Buck, Patsy Schuman, Roland Bakemeyer, Jean Young, and Orlando Chada. The new members who came to join our ranks were Betty Hartman from New Paris, Ohio and Opal Fellenz from VVest Bend, Wisconsin. We again elected class officers. This time they were: President. Sally Birkholz, Vice Presi- dent, Thomas Brown, Secretary, Norris Oxley, Treasurer, Carol hlelang, Student Council, Janet Stewart, and Robert Knapstein. When we became Juniors in 1946 we were very enthused over getting our class rings and preparing ourselves for the following year when we were to become Seniors. There were more new students who entered our class that year than left it. In fact there were six new members and only two left us. The new students were: Dorothy Swanson and Eris Ochmann from Chicago, Marioti Urewsen from Wisconsin Rapids, Theodore Kuehl from the Navy, Anita Lehman from Rhinelander, and Verdaine Sosseur. Orlando Chada again returned to our Claw and left at the end of the year. Those who left us were: Bernice Haling and Florence Behn. Our class officers that year were: President, VVilliam Anderson, Vice President, Robert Knap- stein, Secretary, Norris Oxley, Treasurer, Carol hlelang, Student Council, Sally Birkholz and Thomas Brown. In the fall of 1947 after three years of hard work we had obtained our goal and had become the Senior class of AV-W. P This year three of our classmates left us, they were: Anita l.ehman, who went to llilwau- kee to go to school, Verdaine Sosseur, and Velna Yoeutn. The new students to join us were: hlarilyn Sass, from Milwfaukee and Jayne lVlargitan from Park Falls. Marilyn left after the first semester of our Senior year. When we began our Senior year we knew this would he our last. Also we knew we were the ones to initiate the Freshmen class, and initiate them we did. When we started in the fall we looked forward to eonnneneernent day, but as it drew nearer there were those among us who were not so anxious to have it come. Page Tfwwnty-lfwo

mf' THE LOG WJ For the last time we elected our class officers who were: President, Norris Oxley, Vice President, Robert Knapstein, Secretary Jayne Margitan, Treasurer, Dorothy Swanson, Student Coun- cil, Sally Birkholz and Thomas Brown. We had only three of our classmen in the football squad this year, but we are proud of them. They were Thomas Brown, Norris Oxley, and Robert Knapstein. Two of our Classmates, Dorothy Swanson and Thomas Brown, were chosen for the Pepsi- Cola Scholarship tests. There are twenty-two students leaving AV-W this spring, to go out to different walks of Iifeg some of us are going on to college, some to good jobs, we hope. There may be some who will enter into happy wedlock. The members of our class are: William Anderson, Rita Beller, Sally Birkholz, Thomas Brown, Marion Drewsen, Donna Eschenbauch, Opal Fellenz, Edith Gehrke, Wil- lard I-Iagstrom, Betty Hartman, Robert Kassien, Robert Knapstein, Paul Knickelbein, Theodore Kuehl, Eris Ochmann, Norris Oxley, Jayne Margitan, Carol Melang, Doris Rudolph, Marjorie Sawyer, Dorothy Swanson, and Janet Stewart. We may be leaving AV-W, but our hearts and minds will always be with our school. We all want to thank our estimable teachers and our fine principal, for the patience and fortitude they have shown with us. Whatever we may become, we can thank AV-W. BH Class Prophec One cool, windy night, when the moon was peering out between low, scudding clouds down through the branches of the ghostly trees, I became lost in an old woods. As I stumbled through the tangled undergrowth, I seemed to hear a faint, eerie voice calling me on. I Hnally arrived at an old cave which I timidly entered. In the center of the cave there was an old cauldron which was half filled with water and the eerie voice told me to ask what I desired. So I asked the cauldron what it could tell me about the futures of the class of WIS . As I asked the question, the water in the cauldron began to glimmer and boil, and I gazed into the future. The first news is sad. Paul Knickelbein and Bolz Knapstein are only fond memories. They have shot each other in an argument over who had short-changed the most customers for that week. Another bit of sad news is the death of Bill Anzlerron. A box of Wheaties fell off the shelf at the Woodruff Mercantile and crushed him to death. Some of the class has been more fortunate. Norris Oxley is president of the large grocery concern known as Oxley, Oxley, and Oxley Inc. One of their biggest customers is lllfzrion Drewsen who owns and operates the largest string of resorts in the north woods. Her chief hostess is Opal Fellenz who has surprised everyone by losing her timidity. Rim Beller is now living in Chicago where she operates the Beller Meat Packing Plant. Ac- cording to the society column written by Eris Ochnmnn, Miss Beller is about to announce her third engagement to Tom Brown who is head bartender at Ted Kuelzlk The Longest Bar in the Worldw night club. One of Ted's most colorful waitresses is Doris Rudolph who dishes out quite a line to the cash customers. Dorothy Swanson has opened a beauty shop where she practices on Carol lllelang and Janet Stewart, the two leaders of society. Another up-and-coming business man is Willard Hfzgstrom who has taken over the Fuller Brush Company. One of his salesmen, Bob Kossien, was recently acclaimed the perfect example of a Fuller Brush salesman. Page Tfwfnty-three
