enior 6141.44 froplzecy It was on February 29 in 1969 that I decided I would like to look up some of my old classmates. Strangely enough, most of them had settled down in a new city which was located in the mid-west, its name was Infinity. I, Carol Boerner, arrived in my Hinky-Dinky roadster manufactured by Peter Albers. The first person I met was Donald Seifert. Donnie, an automo- bile horn manufacturer, was going over to see his chief electrician, Harold Hintz, about some crossed wire. Carl Jahn, chief horn beeper had pressed the wrong button and a new wire designed by a chap call- ed Darkow had dislodged. H Proceeding down the main drag, I saw several stores. One caught my eye, Sudbrink's Fancy Frock Shop! My curiosity aroused, I parked my car, putting my Willis nickel into a Klug parking meter. CThe Willis nickel was rather new and the first coin ever to honor a living person. Mr. Willis was the ninety- seventh senator.J I passed thru the door operated by an electric eye invited by Lynn Paul. Once inside the shop I inquired about Nancy, the clerk, Mildred Klotz, told me that she was out of town trying to secure some Lorraine Helm originals. Having no excuse to linger I headed for a drug- store. There perched on soda stools were Phyllis Pog- genburg and Dorothy Viesselmann sipping chocolate sodas. I ordered the same and the soda girl, Marie Penkwitz, had it before me before I could say Tom Thumb! Still feeling hungry I walked into a- deli- catessen-restaurant managed by Iris Sorweid, a well- known dietitian. After drinking a cup of Sengencof- fee, a special brew guaranteed to do nothing for no- body, I left the establishment. As I went back to my roadster, I saw an Albers special coming down the street. The driver, Glen Seifert, was making an announcement about a show to be held at the auditorium in a few minutes. Drop- ping a few more coins in the parking meter I crossed the street and entered the building with a huge sign on the outside. From it I gathered a mountain of in- formation. - At the switch board I saw none other than Doris Rintelman talking to Lenore Uhlig about the big show. June Beck was listening to a conversation be- tween Frederick Hoffmann and one of his many girl friends. The receptionist, La Verne Helm, appeared busy so I walked across the hall and bought a news- paper from Elva Miske. The editor of the paper, The Infinity Reach , was Louis Vahsholtz and chief heck- ler and photographer was Jack Wiese. On the front page was a picture of Captain Mildred Behling who had just returned from an Air Force Expedition to Mars. The ticket girl, Gladys Scheer, sold me a ticket and after receiving my program from Alice Hilgen- dorf I was ushered to a seat by Florence Holz. The lights dimmed and the drummer, Charles Nieman, started the music with a rumbling roll and the Infinity Blowhards gave out with a tiring selec- tion. The Blowhards were Diana Rathke, Lillian Backhaus, Willie Mueller, Jeanne Herrmann, Marion Gall and Maxine Frank. A newsreel came on after an announcement by the mayor, Charles. Blank, that his body guard, Robert Eickstedt, was in desperate need of a body guard for himself.as he hadvinsultedthe magician, Earl Hadler, and needed immediate protection. Reinhold Reblin applied for the-dangerous task. . The newsreel proved very interesting. Narrator, Jules Clausing,'-announced that Gilbert Boemer had received an award for in- venting a measuring road that would measure the dis- tance of. one plane from .another and,.EdWard Koepke was his chief demonstrator. He also .announced that a new kindergarten teaching method had been de- veloped- by Joycei and Janet Hennings. Betty Boesch and Mary Ann Pipkorn were giving a musical recital at some music hall at New York and their press secre- tary Ruth Kressin announced that Mary Ann would achieve great glory with her violin. A sportsreel about the great basketball player, Larry Carter, showed some of the tricks he employed while playing an important game. Carol Muenchow, who had become Mrs. Carter was very much delighted w'it'h Larry's success. N .HThe newsreel ended with a bri'ef exhibition of typing skill, displayed by Bertha Worden, Fay Zilke, and Marion Hintz, explained by Lucille Anschuetz. The master of ceremonies, Edward Dineen, took over at this point and introduced a quartette led by Alan Erickson. The other three in'the combination were Jack Zwickey, Richard Swan and Riidolph Zar- ling, accompanied by Carol Hubbert. They sang, It Couldn't Happen to a Dog, But It Happens To Me , written by Elroy Knepprath. ' Rudolph Zarling took over after the selection and displayed his comedian talents and was followed by a magician act starring Earl Hadler. At this point I was annoyed by a snore coming from the back of the audi- torium. Roger Krause was sawing a fine cord of wood but was interrupted when usher Margaret Dehling woke him up. Ray Verhaalen came out and read a commercial and then the finale and the crowd began to disperse. When I finally arrived at my car I hadreceived a ticket from policewomen Marion and Martha Wilde. The ticket was a beautiful piece of art work and it was designed by Doris Last of the Brabender Com- mercial Art Designers. I paid my fine and got into my Hinky-Dinky roadster and drove back to the city from where I had come where I taught history.

Clan History It was an early September morning in the year 1936, the sun was shining, the birds were singing, everything appeared normal. But this was no ordin- ary day. This was a special day, for this was the day the class of 1949 took its first step in obtaining an education. Under the helpful guidance of the Kinder- garten teacher, Miss Kliner, our education began. At this time we were learning by playing, singing and painting. The toy train and the playhouse afforded many hours of amusement. Our rhythm band put on concerts which will never be equalled. The next year found us in first grade struggling with our readers. All was not work thoughg we spent some time listening to music and developing a sense of rhythm by marching up and down the aisles. Dur- ing this year we produced our version of that theatri- cal classic, Hansel and Gretal . A star was discover- ed in Jack Zwickey who played Hansel. Alan Erick- son was quite a bit ahead of his time. He amused him- self by chasing all the girls and kissing them. In second grade as our learning power increased our ability to get into trouble also increased. Miss Kingelin had a novel way of punishing boys who got their feet wet. They had to wear silk stockings and high heeled shoes till their shoes dried. Here we learned to tell time and write script. Some of our writing still is very similar to this. Third grade saw our class learning the funda- mentals of Americanism from Mrs. Cherdron. We also started our Phy. Ed. course during this year. At Eas- ter time we colored eggsg any chicken would have been proud to possess any of these works of art. Mastering pen and ink was one of the objects of the fourth grade. In many cases the pen and ink mas- tered us. Good thing that ink was washable! We saw some of the rest of the world thru slides shown by Miss Larson. Our ranks were increased by one the next year. A shy little boy by the name of Swan joined our class. Health was stressed in fifth grade. Every morning we did our exercises. Miss Hanson kept a supply of caramels to sooth coughing spells. These became quite common after awhile. Usually the first half-hour of the morning was spent listening to stories. I am sure we are all still familiar with the story of the first steam boat on Lake Titicaca, high in the Andes Moun- tains of Peru. In the sixth grade the question arose whether we were really trying to learn or just trying to drive the teachers crazy. Buying War Bonds and stamps and collecting tin cans were subjects of the seventh grade. Excursions were made to the Milwaukee Museum and Radio City. Phyllis Poggenburg joined our class this yearg she was quite a sensation with the boys. In the eighth grade we were preparing for High School. We staged our own radio program, quite a masterpiece. Several hayrides were held this year. They were quite the thing at this time. Some ro- mancf-TS began springing up around this time. One of the most notable was between Casanova Erickson and Carol Hubbert. In 1945 our class, increased by tuition students, entered Cedarburg High School. At first we were a little green but we gradually learned the ropes. One of our homerooms, led by Dick Swan and Jack Zwick- ey won the cheerleading contest. Willie Mueller's por- trayal of The Milk Pitcher in an assembly skit put on by the Freshman English Class was really high class comedy. Pantomines put on in English class reached the height of drama. As sophomores we looked down on the lowly freshmen. We were right in the swing of things now. Our class was livened up by Earl Hadler, Jack Wiese, the Hennings twins and several others who trans- ferred from Thiensville. In mentioning new students we cannot overlook Kirchayn's gift to the nation, Rudolph Zarling. The Prom was the highlight of our Junior year. Dick Swan was chairmang he chose Dorothy Viessel- mann as his queen. Jack Zwickey, Phyllis Poggen- burg, Alan Erickson, Carol Hubbert, Jack Wiese and Nancy Sudbrink made up the court. Stardust serv- ed as the theme. We tried something new. Two or- chestras. This was one of the things which made our Prom the biggest and best in C.H.S. history. After much discussion our class selected its rings. We also won the intramural tournaments during our Junior year, humbling the mighty seniors. This brings us up to 1948, when we started our final step in high school. The fall was highlighted by the undefeated, unscored on, championship football team. The successful Christmas Formal was the big event of the winter. The music was by Ray Block and the theme was the Carolers' Ball. Our class again won the intramural. The senior homeroom led by chief cheerleader Earl Hadler won the cheerleading contest unanimously. With hard work and co-operation Maxine Frank, Carol Muenchow, Willie Mueller and the rest of the cast and stage hands made our class play, Off a Pewter Platter, a huge success. Soon graduation will bring our class history to a close. But these days, our school life, will never be forgotten.
