Cfadd .yidfory One stage of thinking is recollection by means of which the seniors see the ordeals and tribulations through which they had to suffer. We now recall to mind how this famous, first senior class of Westlake High School grew and survived through twelve years. Getting the class off to a good start in the FIRST GRADE were eleven little darlings whose names follow: Don Hopp, Jack Karner, Anne Manke, Jeannette Messeri, Charles Neff, Nancy Nicklas, Florence Simonds, Virginia Thomsen, Evelyn Trapp, Shirley Ulmer, and Charlotte Wheeler. Thinking these were enough to get used to, only Ray Art showed up to bother Miss Shea in the SECOND GRADE. The THIRD GRADE brought Dick Bohland, Helen Kalapis, Larry Krohn, and Dick Overmyer, all of whom added to the mischief and turmoil of this great class. Gertrude Rothkegel was the lone entry to the class in the FOURTH GRADE. The gang was getting gym now. They surely tried hard then. In the FIFTH GRADE were added Martha Teniak and Charles Wesnitzer who became situated in no time at all. This year they had the Army-Navy game. The boys wore blue or brown numbers, while the girls cheered for the best looking players. By the time Ray Meyers came in the SIXTH GRADE there were twenty members in the group. X, Neil Byl and Carl Grolle were the only entries in the SEVENTH GRADE. ' This was the year when the cherubs took advantage of the fact that they 5 wouldn't be reported for running in the halls. Mr. Scott soon changed their minds though. In the EIGHTH GRADE Alf Anderson, Larry Batig and Lynn Roskelly showed up. Somebody had to get an A once in awhile to make the class ' look good. So, for some reason or another, Lynn was picked to represent the class. , I' Wow. Look what happened, twelve new additions for the NINTH GRADE. 'E C3 3 These included Pat Jones, Beatrice and Jean Juergemeier, Marge Kukucka, Donna Stein, Marilyn Surman, Verna Ruprecht, Henry Sohl, Beverly Van ' p Guten, Wilton I-lille, Wayne Koch and Dick Winterich. This was really the year of fun. How the girls cheered when one of the wee freshmen got in one play of a football game. The girls will never forget D.A.C. initiation. For that matter, neither will anyone else. ,- The flashes of red and gray zooming by with something in them were Z the class sweaters, and the things in them, were the proud sophomores. The sweaters were also the first ones to sport a big UW . They had their ,bt first dance this year, which is always quite an event. There has never 1 been anything like the second year Latin class and the stories that Mr. ' Holloway told, especially the one about a wave for was it cave 71. The only new arrival in the TENTH GRADE was Jane Smith. . In the ELEVENTH GRADE the gang finally fatter all these years, be- came conscious of their English, with the addition of Willie Hehs and Tom Fothy. Gretchen Rothfuss arrived that year, too, but no one had , trouble understanding her. This was really the big year. If something would whiz down the hall, it probably was a jimior running after maga- zine or Panorama subscriptions, running after paint for decorating the Junior -Senior Banquet or racing for band-aids after chemistry class. This was also the year the class rings arrived and everyone in the class suddenly got itches on the head which just had to be scratched with the left hand. Some, thinking this was making it rather obvious, just shook hands left handed and waved a little more enthusiastically. its ef certainly halped out a lot in basketball season. This was the year of tests, ' decisions, and memories. Now, last but not least, you are looking ahead to graduation. We,-the rest of the gang at school send along with this Panorama our sincere wishes that your coming years may be as happy and as interesting as your last twelve years at Westlake.
