— THE 1955 ORACLE — THE HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF '55 ' I was August 31, 1942, and somewhat of a special Monday morning in that thirteen classes of youngsters — boys, girls, ladies, and gentlemen — are commencing another nine months in the American institution called school. A senior class has left from the top and a new class has joined on the bottom. The teacher of this new class. Miss Mable Borland, greeted twenty-one anxious but wondering boys and girls on this first Monday morning. Among these disorderly juveniles are such personalities as Greta, (not to be con- fused with Greta) but Greta Anderson. Shirley Rae Graen, Joyce Gruhn, Marlene Hinz, Patricia Maguire, Marsha Olhausen, Jeraldine Roskammer, Delbert Bethel, Gary Boetel, Ronnie Brehmer, Dennis Clausen, Edward Diekmann, Richard Donnelly, Jim Hesse, Keith Hewitt, Clyde Kramme, Cecil Sherman, Jack Stoterau, Gary Swanson, and Roger Tuttle. Two boys. Bob Harrington and Jerry Cooper, and a girl, Virginia Boedeker, later joined the class, but before the year had closed, four pupils had left. They included Greta Anderson, Richard Donnelly, Shirley Rae Graen and Jerry Cooper. A short three months of freedom fluttered by and there were nineteen again greeted by school bells. This time it was on August 30, 1943; their teacher. Miss Doro- thy Witter; their rank, first grade. We had real desks and theie was no more lying on the floor during rest periods. The class acquired Janice Peterson and Junior Wagner, who again left us before the year was finished. Six young scholars, 1 ommy Chrysler. Donald Everson, Ernest Verdoes, Mary Janet Clark, Avis Lorenzen, and Junior Wagner, teamed up with the sprouting class of twenty as second grade commenced on August 28, I 944, under the teaching guidance of Miss Dorothy Quenra. My, but we were going places. We had a class to look down up- on. Looking up seemed like a long way to the top. 1 he class lost only one that year. Clyde Kramme left us. Then came Monday, September 3. 1945, and with it the third graders moved across to the west hall. We had a bad time with the teachers that year; they just couldn't stay with us. Miss Pedelty started out the year. Later Miss Nadine Weber taught us and finally Mrs. Romanowski took over and lasted the remaining months. Thirteen students joined our class that year: Marvel Fredericks, Shirley Gonner- inan, Joyce Philiph, Harlan Will, Alvin Zinn, Joann Frohlich, Philip Kramme, Harold Wills, Gale Bobolz, Michael McAnaily, Barbara Clay, Jerry Schuman and Richard Bremer. We lost three, Pat Maguire, Jack Stoterau, and Donald Everson. However, as the year ended, the class was thirty-five pupils strong. Miss Joan Harmelink greeted us as fourth graders on September 3, I 946, as we continued to climb up in this world. Jack Stoterau returned and three new personalities were added: Greta Anderson, Ruth McCarty, and Ronald Roghair. Mary Janet Clark, Gale Bobolz, Richard Bremer, Keith Hewitt, Harlan Will, Alvin Zinn, and Harold Wills left us. Verdon Vogt and Wayne Bryant joined us as fifth graders on September 2, 1947; our teacher. Miss Eileen Kenyon; our destination, to finish grade school somehow. Joann Frohlich was the only one to leave the class. Next came sixth grade under the direction of Miss Margaret Jones. Pat Maguire returned and others joined including Shirley Dahnke, Mary Krahling. Roges Frick, Or- ville Pippert, and Robert Lappegard. As the year closed, Wayne Bryant and Robert Lappegard left, making us a class of thirty-six. Rage Seventeen
