Class History On September 8, 1953, Wabasha High School was plagued with the worst epidemic ever seen in its history. Yes, you’ve guessed it! Twenty-four green, but confident Freshmen entered the portals of Wabasha High. They were Suzanne Blatter, Rich ard Counter, Eugene Dammann, Nancy Gilbert, Nancy Glynn, Bernard Gosse, Leigh Johnson, David Kennebeck, Mary Klas, Sharon Malone, John McDonald, Christine Ridgeway and John Zierdt, all of whom were originals and have been with us since kindergarten. Others who joined us in later years and were with us when we were initiated into the big Freshman class were Clifford Blattner, Dan Cliff, Charles Dornack, Herman Gander, Lester Hansch, Mary Longley, Richard Meurer, Robert Meurer, Bernard Roemer, Janice Rupkalvis and Wayne Wirth. All were frightened at first but few realized what fame the “Class of ’57” would bring to the halls of Wabasha High. Once the dreaded “Freshman Initiation was over we all began to feel a little mere at home. For class officers that year we elected Herman Gander as president; Wayne Erdmann as vice president; Janice Rupkalvis as secretary; and Ronnie Erdmann as treasurer. On September 7, 1954, we returned to the now familiar halls as silly Sophomores, only to find each day a little more exciting and enjoyable than the previous ones. We elected the following officers: president, Herman Gander; vice president, Leigh Johnson; secretary, Jack Zierdt; and treasurer, John McDonald. We found that Virginia Anding, Joanne Herbst, Barbara Hoops, Bradley Jensen, Darlene Luhmann and Loa Wiebusch were trying their hardest to add some intelligence to our class. The next year on September 6, 1955, we returned to find that Joyce Hermundson, Dennis Lichtblau, Darlene Schumacher and Judy Tiede-mann had joined our ranks. The following officers were elected for our big eventful Junior year: presi- dent, Sharon Malone; vice president, Bradley Jensen; secretary, Leigh Johnson, and treasurer, John McDonald. This was a very busy year for us. We ordered our idolized class rings. Everyone was very pleased with our choice. “Pennies From Heaven”, (the Junior Prom) added to our being busy. Finally after continuous work the decorating was completed. It was one of the nicest proms ever put on at Wabasha High. That year we also put on the annual Junior Class Play, “Line of Scrimmage”, which also turned out to be a huge success. In looking back on our Junior year, I can’t forget to mention our Little Bongo Band furnished by certain Junior beys, (names withheld in case of incrimination). Oh, well, boys, it all added to a good year’s fun. On September 4, 1956. we returned as dignified Seniors. Joe Fredrickson, Rose Marie Johnson, Loretta Leisen and Carol Schouweiler had joined us to later become graduates of Wabasha High School. Class officers were elected as follows: Charles Dornack, president; Rich Counter, vice president; Dan Cliff, secretary; and Herman Gander, treasurer. During that year, we were stricken with a terrible tragedy. George Billings, who was one of the class originals, was killed in a car accident. We all pray to God that nothing as terrible as this will ever have to happen to any member of any class in future years. We published the 1957 Warrior and put on oud Senior Class Play during this year. “Green Valley” was the title of the play which proved to be quite successful. Graduation now ends the school history of the Class of 1957, but its fame will increase in years to come. n 15
