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.
