SENIOR HISTORY On a sunny September morning in 1943 a bright, eager class of Freshmen came racing through the Capron High School- doors. Since then they have come a long way. Some of them have left us and others have joined us but we still live on. Let us look back and see what has happened in these four years. The frightened, bashful, ones who came in 1943 were as follows: Mildred Black, Frank Bauer, Linay Burge, Richard Bue, Irene Cordray, Lloyd Carmichael, Virginia Colcord, Rodney Frietag, LaVerne Hazelwood, George Hove, Harold Howland, Marion Hammond, Donald Johnson, Lillian Jones, Richard Jacobson, Clyde Masear, Donald Murphy, Arlene Nelson, Evelyn Olson, Allan Peters, Arlene PiPGI',, Harold Pufahl, Anker Rasmussen, Edward Pavlack, Darrell Samuelson, Norman Siebert, Ruth Smith, Marilyn Smith, Dorothy Stevens, Jo- han Storez, Betty Taylor, Lois Traver, Patricia Keefe, Robert Lambert, Shirley Lawler, Joyce Main, Thelma Weems, Wayne Ward, and Herman Zick. They all Survived their initiation and got along fine during the rest of the year. Our Sophomore year we lost a large number of our classmates. Donald Murphy went to Chicago to live. Eddie Pavlack went to Belvidere. Richard Bue decided he liked farming better than school. Norman Siebert went to Sharon and became their dream man. Rodney Frietag moved to Woodstock and kept up his good work to become Valedictorian of Woodstock this year. Mildred Black went to Rockford to work and Marion Hammond moved there to live. We' were joined by Duane Conley from Harvard. During our Sopho- more year we had the pleasure of initiating the Freshmen. Arlene Nelson left us in March of her Junior year and moved to Belvidere. Irene Cordray - moved to Woodstock and Duane Conley went back to Harvard, Richard Jacobson went to Belvidere. Roger Ruebeck joined us for about three weeks and then quit. Lorin Dopke came from Chicago. Lucille White came from California and Helen King from Rockton. The Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet was the main event of the year. The class. also put on the play Alibi Bill which was directed by Mrs. Dunker. Finally the Senior year came up. Harold Pufahl and Lillian Jones did not return. Mary Smith went one semester and quit. Johan Storez went to Rock- ton. Thelma Weems went down to Salem to finish her schooling. New mem- bers of the class were Russell Bremer and Robert Courtney from Poplar Grove, Vivian Meyer from Woodstock, and Steve Bonne from Genoa. The class again put on a play. We also put out an annual with the help of the other classes. A class trip was planned. Graduation is something that all the sen- iors are dreaming about. We hope that all the classes have.as much fun and hard work in school as we have had.

SENIOR PRO PHE CY Ah, here it is 1967 and we see the right honorable senator, who is is none other than Linay Burge from Illinois. He is the greatest since Claghorn. And who is this chasing men of all kinds 'P Why, it's Lois Traver, the Vera Vague of today. As we pass through Tennessee, who is this we hear singing Rye Whiskey but Robert Courtney He is now a spy for Milwaukee Brewery trying to swipe the formula for atornic moonshine. There's a pleasant farm on the right, basketball court and all. This is where Russell and Mrs. Bremer now coach their own little team. As we stroll down the streets of Capron we hear that Lorin Dopke was beaten by his wife in the last school board election 580 to 2. Here's little Arlene Piper trying to prove women can run faster than men. She practices on her way to and from her bank president's job. We hear an explosion from next door, but it's iust Ioyce Main, head chemist for Goodyear, trying to find a way to take the stretch out of rubber. And new we move to Indiana where we find Veterinary Allan Peters has just bought 30 horses to practice on. Whcfs that reclining on three feather beds behind a copy of the Constitution but Steve Bonne. He is now a Supreme Court justice and the greatest dissenter since Cliver Wendell Holmes.
