C ASS HISTCRY In the fall of 1946, Sid Moore, Eddie Mclntyre, George Whalin, Richard Skala, Dale Edberg, Steve Lowe, Merrill Mason, Brian Ramsdell, Linda Reed, Nancy Bidwell, and Shirley Walton entered kindergar- ten. We played in our sandpile and sang songs. George Whalin had to sit in the corner for throwing water at the girls. Miss Cooper was our teacher. Mrs. Smith was our first grade teacher. We learned Dick and Jane. Sid Moore, George Whalin and Eddie McIntyre learned how to make paper airplanes and became good pilots. Second grade brought two new pupils, Wayne H alupnik and Pauline Flowers. Steve Lowe was the pride of the class with his curly hair and knee cut pants. Wayne Halupnik crawled out the window and was not missed for over an hour. Miss Judas was our teacher. Miss Hassebrock was our third grade teacher, Keith Nagle was a new pupil. We learned our multipli- cation tables and Steve Lowe was one of the first to complete these. We gave a party with real food and everyone had a chance to be host or hostess. We made Christmas presents for parents -- a plaster paper weight horse for our fathers and a wall plaque for our mothers. Miss Vorba was our fourth grade teacher. Joyce Zenor joined our future class of '59 that year. We divided into groups and drew pictures of the discovery of America. Dale Edberg's group drew the best pic- ture. Pauline Flowers fainted during the Pledge of Allegiance. Mrs. Cawelti was our fifth grade teacher. We made yule logs and candy houses out of sugar cubes. Not one of us in that class can forget Ed McIntyre's despair when Mrs. Cawelti told him he was going to the superintendent's office for hitting a boy in the eye with a spitwad. Ed grabbed the railing along the blackboard and yelled, Pm not going. This would be his second trip and he knew what lay ahead. It took all of Mrs. Cawe1ti's strength to force him to let go of the railing. Mrs. Ruth Smith was our sixth grade teacher. We gave Christmas plays for our mothers that year. Denny Kaisand portrayed a boy who had a bellyache from eating too much candy. In seventh grade we had a big political election with campaigning signs and all the trimmings. We gave a radio play for the P.T.A. We attended and gave our first dance. Miss McDonaugh was our teacher. Mrs. Ruth Smith followed us to eighth grade to be junior high principal. That year we moved into the new junior high section, which had just been completed. George Whalin gave Mrs. Smith quite a surprise when she insisted on seeing what was in his desk -- a mud puppy. The next fall we entered high school. Everything went fine until initiation. We looked quite cute in our upside down skirts and gunny sacks. We were well represented in athletics, music, speech, and all other activities. In our sophomore year we had a hay ride and a dance. Butch Kucera was crowned King of the Sweet- heart Ball. We attended Career Day at Grinnell in our junior year. We gave our play in November, The Re- markable lncident at Carson's Corners. The play was a tremendous success. We gave the J unior-S enior Prom in the gym, in early May, with the theme, Aloha, In our senior year we spent Skip Day touring the city of Milwaukee. In the morning we toured the city and went through the War Memorial Building. In the afternoon, one group went to the zoo, the other went to the Milwaukee-Pittsburg baseball game. Early in October, Joyce Zenor and Bob Powers were crowned Queen and King of Homecoming. Wegave our class play on April 10, Pure as the Driven Snow, and it was such a success that it was given again on May 1 by popular demand. On May 8, the juniors gave their prom, 'Southern Hospitality. The seniors were very grateful to the juniors for their hard work. The class chose, blue and white for their colors, rose for their flower, and for their motto: We have opened the door, the world lies before us.

When she stands, take a look, I most earnestly beg. There's no reason why Carol C. should be called Spatsy Legs ? Dale Edberg conquered Lit. by means of osmosis - Ihope he stays awake long enuff to hear this. When Chef Muckler yells loudly Go get me Moore. We aren't surprised to see Marsha come thru the door. He's at the controls - now comes the count down. With the speed of a rocket, Leonard tears out of town. Connie sparkles and bubbles like a glass of champagne. But the touch of her hand will sooth many a pain. This egghead will argue from morning to night. Denny Kaisand will argue, if he's wrong or he's right. A look at this blue -eyed blonde is all that you need, To know Violet Joahnnsen could be called the class Swede. Papule Steve Lowe you'll agree is a card. You'll also agree he buys his shoes by the yard. Eddie Mc throws spit wads and he once made home brew, Tho it was potent and strong, it was really taboo. When Pauline was asked if she likes mutton or ham, She smiled and she winked and she said, I'll take Lamb. On his way home perhaps Castro Benner should stop At the place we all know as Jones' Barber Shop. There's nothing reserved about this debonair chap. Romeo Frisbie is a wolf all the girls want to trap. Angeline Sebetka is a quiet girl from the farm. Oft we'l1 think of her blonde curls and her soft-spoken charm. Judy Brones seems real quiet and has little to say, But I'll bet she's not quiet riding in that coupe. Joyce Zenor is narrow where a gal should be narrowg ls that why to her classmates she is known as Sparrow? Dave's enigmatical smiles suggest he's quite shy, But at chasing Clutier cowgirls he's really quite sly. She's a rock 'n roll fan . , a cool cat to the core. Pat E, soulfully sighs: Tommy Sands I adore. Wayne H. is long in more ways than one. From his feet to his head - but not when there 's work to be done Kathleen Karkosh is a girl who's full of giggles and jokes, True Romances keep her happy and also quite broke. She's blue-eyed and loquacious and is called Dorie Mae. She'll argue and argue even tho she has nothing to say. Jim Bryant it would seem to a harem does aspire. It's easy to believe for he sets hearts afire. Ihear a low rumble and I look to be sure, It's Merrill Mason and his Ford taking off with a roar. The gal with red hair we know can't be Topsy, So it must be the one the kids all call Potsy. There are many as nice and many as neat, But I'm sure it's Loretta D, who's especially sweet, Larry Y. and Dennis Zeman make an incomparable pair, Now argue that statement if you think that you dare. It is quiet Fred McDowell who is last on our list. With his diligent ways he is sure to be missed.
