IOHN LATUS Elective VVords are the wings of action, Class History IANUARY CLASS, 1941 On February 2, 1937, in a day filled with surprises, Pulaski High School opened its arms to a new class, the class of February, 1941. Remembering that it would take too long to relate the entire history, only the promi- nent factors will be given. This class did not begin to earn its merits until the year 1939 when it elected Norman Hartung as President, Iames Skulan as Vice President, Edward Maruszewski as Treasurer. and Dorothy Krause as Secretary. It was at this time that the feeling of class cooperation came about. This semester brought around the annual prom with Queen Fern Acker- mann, and King Donald Stachowski reigning as royalty. In the February of 1940, Robert Weske was elected President, Ierome Neumann Vice President, Marcella Wutt, Secretaryi, and Iohn Latus, Treasurer. In this semester the class became prominent for on April 12 they play- ed host to the 12A class in the form of a Caper Day. Nineteen hundred forty develop- ed a great deal of the classes talent which proved that among the students theirs was to be a group of destined leaders. The fall of '40 has come and with it another class election. This one was highly. publiciz- ed but ended with just one change and that was in having Genevieve O'Connor elected Secretary. With the last semester came the classes annual play, banquet, exercises and graduation. All their earnest work during four years have proved to every one that only once in a decade or better still once in a life time has there been a class with as many activi- ties as this class engaged in, and the spirit with which they ventured forth with each new project earned the admiration of the facultyp the friendliness, cooperation and en- thusiasm for school activities they displayed made them leaders over all other classes. Gone with onlyi their pictures to remind us of the February 1941 class they can be as- sured that they are forever in our minds- yes, gone but not forgotten by those whom they left behind. IUNE CLASS, 1941 September 5, 1937 saw multitudes of school children throughout the nation returning to their studies once again. Among these many were several boys and girls on the south side of Milwaukee and from the adjacent out- lying districts who, on that singular date, were entering upon a great adventure in their young lives, high school. Some days later that very same group convened and then the class of '41 was born. For its first president it chose Arthur Olszyk and for its vice-president Olive Anderson. The first year was characterized by no un- usual activity, but in the next years it-but that's getting ahead of the story. In the fall of 1938, the sophomore class re- elected Art Olszyk to guide it. A new leader, one who was destined to participate much in class affairs, arose in the person of Nancy Oestreich who occupied the office of vice-president. This year saw the class's purse begin to bulge for many social and profitable affairs were undertakeng among them the noteworthy Valentine dance which so manyz remember. In its junior year the class of '41 really began to move. LaVerne Kneser was the choice for the chief executive and Harleth johnson was chosen to assist her. At this point it is fitting and proper to introduce

Of course the fall of '39 saw Pulaski begin school in its present imposing edifice, and it was the class of '41 that sponsored the premier junior promenade in the new spa- cious gymnasium. Prom King Donald Sta- chowski cmd Queen Fern Ackermann ruled the noteworthy event. In the spring three members of the class, Donald Stachowski, Glenn Petersen, and Rus- sell Mapes were selected to attend Badger Boy's State at Delafield. The September of 1940 came all too soon: and on that fateful day when first the class opened the doors to re-enter for the last year, it felt a hollow sort of feeling deep down inside. How time flies! The class commission was elected to administrate senior affairs. Among this group appear many familiar names: Har- leth Iohnson Chr., Anne Talsky, Milton Nein- hardt, Iames Welsh, Eugene Grams, Russell Mapes, and Ruth Derwort. The spring has seen much activity. The babyi of 1937 has become the mature class of 1941, preparing to face the world. Measurements for caps and gowns are takenp preparations for the banquet, for grad- uation day itself are made. And the Mayball! Queen Anne Talsky and King Milton Mein- hardt wield the imperial scepter on that night of May seventeenth, the date of the Senior May Ball. The operetta, Senior Day with its academic caps and gowns and programg all too soon are these things of the past: memories. We must here mention the most illustrious representatives of the class of '4l: the honor students, Audrey Muehl and Iosephine Pas, the latter of whom won a one year scholar- ship to Marquette University, in an open mathematics competition: Leo Swodzinski, the city champion breast stroke swimmerg Milton Meinhardt, that fleetest of sprinters. And so the class of '4l comes to the close of its high school career to take fond leave of its Alma Mater with tears in its heart if not in its eyes.
