We stood on the ' h threshold of our education in September, 1938, in t e l f a new gymnasium' therefore our kindergarten porta s o , U days with Miss Kliner were happy ones indeed. We all became interested in music and many hours were spent playing concert music with our own little band. ln lst grade we became the charges of Miss Kuhefuss. We learned to read, Run Dick Run and to print our homework. The Mother Goose Operetta we presented, combined with the kindergarten and 2nd grade, will also be one of the highlights of our grade school days. In 2nd grade, with Miss Kingelin, we started writing, and learned, much to our amazement, that trees were made up of 'many more colors than brown and green. Pat Swan joined us in 3rd grade where we learned to read the newspaper, and practiced air raids with Mrs. Cherdron. The next year Renatli Grob and Joan Baumann joined the ranks. That year, too, we major excursion away from school, when Miss Brill took us to the Milwaukee museum and to the zoo. We had two teachers in Sth grade, for when Miss Hansen became ill, Mrs. Justus Lauterbach took over her made our first duties. We had a visitor from Hawaii in 6th grade, who, much to the girls annoyance, stole all the boys' hearts. Miss Goethe was our teacher this year. Miss Thomas was our 7th grade teacher. This is the year love started to come into our young lives, when Audrey Rappold and Howard Buenting went steady . Art Viesselmann thought these were the dark ages g he was always spending time under the teacher's desk. We reached 8th grade in good form. Mr. Webster was our teacher, ably assisted by Miss Congielliere, our music teacher, who taught us English also. This year we took another excursiong this was to the filtration plant on the shores of Lake Michigan. On this trip we enjoyed most the samples we were given at the coke and ice cream plants. Audrey Lueders and Jim Liesener were sweethearts that year. We entered high school as freshmen in the fall of 1947, and got acquainted at the initiation dance spon- sored by the Juniors and Seniors. Miss Baldwin, our Phy. Ed. teacher, became the ideal of every red-blooded American girl at C. H. S. ln out sophomore year, we were joined by Franklin Friede, Sally Kleckner and Ken Wolff. This is the year that some of us had the honor to be in the one-act play Last Flight Over , that went to the state contest. This was also the year when all hem lines went down. In our Junior year the Luck of the Irish left us in the form of Mr. Gaffney and Pat Shaw. Nola Wastrack, Judy Lytle and Barbara Merlet also left, but Ethan Davies' coming helped make up for their loss. Our Junior Prom, April in Paris , was a huge success, and Joan Baumann and Jim Frank made a king and queen worthy of all the applause they received. We got our class rings in the fall of our senior year, and at the same time had our Senior Class pictures taken. We received them just in time to use as Christ- mas presents. We also had another welcome addition to our class, Del Swanson. Out Christmas formal, Winter Whir1 , had an added attraction. For the first time we chose a sno-king and queen, Audrey Rappold and Howard Buenting. We all felt bad when Bill Penkwitz left us to join the Marines. Soon the excitement of our class play, Too Many Dates , kept us busy. Jim Liesener and Carol Gollnick had the leading roles. Our play, directed by Mrs. Wehmhoff, played to full houses on both nights. --ee- XXX In February, Catherine Oberheu won second place in the district pie baking contest and was also chosen the D. A. R. winner. In March we held a student amateur program. Of the 10 entries, Howard Fischer and Pat Swan received first and second places. Last scene of all that ends this strange eventful his- tory was our graduation, on June 1, 1951. lass Etnpbttp One bright and sunny June day in the year 1970, I was walking through the old city park in Cedarburg when whom should I meet but two of my old friends whom I immediately recognized as Joan Baumann and Jessie Lahmann. You can imagine what a joyous re- union this was, for we had not seen each other since we had graduated from dear old C. H. S. After a round of firing questions and answers we simrnered down, and I took them through the park to show them some of the improvements that had been made. We walked along for some time reminiscing, when Jessie stumbled over a small rock. To our surprise from behind the rock jumped a startled little fairy. She was very upset that her hideout had been discovered. She then told us that she would grant us a wish, if we promised never to tell a soul about her hideout. After a brief discussion the three of us agreed that the thing all of us wanted most was to find out what had happened to the mem- bers of the Class of '51. This sweet little fairy said that this was the most wonderful wish she had ever been asked to grant. Before we could say-C. H. S. here we come-we were off in a little iet plane piloted by the fairy. Since Jessie wanted most of all to see her old friend Joyce Mutz, we headed towards Thiensville where Joyce was running a home for handsome Bachelors. We had chatted with her for awhile when she asked us whether we had seen Mrs. Don Rennicke's C the former BCUY Kathhauser'sJ little bungalow, which she had planned in Senior Home Economics. Since we hadn't seen it, we got into our jet once more and soon we landed in the Rennickes' backyard. Betty told us that Marianne and Chuck and June and Harold also lived on this so called Lover's Lane. After being served a cooling refreshment, which Betty said she had puf- chased at Ethan Davis' Super Market, we hegded for our next destination. As we zoomed along, the little fairy informed us that our very good friends, Dorothy Lederer, Mary Louise Durfee and Barbara Woltring, were operating a beauty salon for the elite. It seems that Fred Schille, valet to The Gorgeous Leroy Mueller, the famous wrestler, had finally persuaded his boss to be glarnorized at this smart establishment. The fairy then called our attention to a huge factory below. She told us that she had a surprise for us, so she landed the plane. The president of this factory rushed out to meet us. As he approached us, we recognized him as our old friend John Zarling. He told us he would take us on a tour of his magnificent steel factory. Our first stop was at the laboratory where 'the renowned

1 lass ijBrupIJrtp chemist Lester Steffen, was developing some transparent steel. Lester told us that this was a rush order to be used for the new rocket ship designed by Tom Frank. After having said good-bye to Lester, we left him to his Bunsen Burner and test tubes and followed John down through the factory. As we walked along, he told us that Tom Frank and Jerry Zdrojek were both in the designing business, Tom designing rocket ships and Jerry designing women's fashions. Their company name had become quite famous and was on the lips of thousands, especially during the Xmas season. The company name-why Tom and Jerry of course! By this time we were as the door leading into John's extremely modern office. It was here that we met Betty Hillmann, Harrier Hespe, and Eleanor Schoessow, who were playing a song- The Typewriter Blues fcomposed by Marlyn Hofmann? on the typewriter ke s. ,Joan and Jessie looked at their Gilow watches and told me that it was near 12:00 noon. Upon hearing this, John suggested that we ride with him in his new Francie roadster Cmanufactured by the James Frank, Kenneth Antholt and Ardell Dobberpuhl Corporationj, to the Hamburger Haven for lunch. Much to our de- light, Anita, wife of the proprietor, Harold Wood- worth, came to take our order. After a wonderful meal, we said good-bye. As we stepped out of the restaurant, we were con- fronted by a lad who was yelling- Fredrick Rappold, 'chief filabusterer' in Congress runs out of breath and is required to take his seat--Read all about it in the 'Nosey Neighbors Newspaper'. Remembering Fredrick as such a quiet lad at school, we immediately gave the newspaper boy a nickel so that we could get more de- tails. Upon further reading, we discovered that Senator Howard Buenting had been trying to pass a law stating that all graduates of C. H. S. of the class of '52 and thereafter would receive an increase in old-age pension. Fredrick, being very concerned about himself and all his former classmates, felt that this increase should also be granted to the class of '51 and therefore put his foot down. Another headline informed us that Art Viessel- mann had been chosen as captain of the Green Buck All-Stars football team and was now the highest paid man living in the U. S. A. We also read an interesting article by Jimmy Liesener, which was entitled What Women Mean to Me . Two whole pages of the paper were covered with side splitting comics by Merrit Paul. By the way, the editor of this newspaper was none other than the former Joyce Butt. We then stepped into John's Frando and headed back for his plant. On our way back we saw Edmund Suelflow putting up a new billboard. Since we were all movie fans, we stopped to look at the sign. The coming attraction was the Shakesperian play Romeo and Juliet with Doug Keehn as Romeo. We com- mented that Doug certainly was a Romeo off stage as well as on stage. We also noticed that Marion Neff was director of the play and that Pat Swan was singing torch songs between acts. Our curiosity having been satisfied we continued our ride back. John turned on the radio and we heard a familiar voice. We asked John if he knew who this woman announcer was. He informed us that it was Sarah Kleckner, who had just recently taken over the job of Walter Winchell. After this very startling news report by Sarah, we heard a commercial on the Bode Brothers Cough Drops. Soon we were back at the plant, said so long to John, got into our jet and our little fairy took us to some of our other friends. For our next surprise she landed the jet on Ralph Clausing's prize farm. Ralph showed us his world- famous cattle. He remarked that his prize cow was at present in an animal hospital, and that he was on his way over to see her. He suggested that we all take a quick spin over to the hospital. Upon arrival, to our surprise, we discovered that Renatli Grob was the head of this hospital. We talked with Renatli and she said that if it had not been for Joan Dineen's Burpo medicine, Ralph's cow would still be suffering from indigestion. After a thorough tout of the hospital we left Renatli and Joan to their animals. On the way back to Ralph's farm he told us that Richard Charmoli was now engaged in the never boring business of picking dead leaves off trees. Since Joan was very thirsty, Ralph took us to a soda fountain. As we got out of Ralph's car, we could see that some sort of celebration was taking place in the town. We asked Ralph if he knew anything about it and he replied that the Funniville Farmer's Association was having a convention, with a big banquet in the evening. The scheduled speaker was Paul Baehman whose topic was How to Raise Eyeless Potatoes . An added attraction for after the banquet was the Wyman Kurtz Jazz Cats. Ralph said that he was anxious to hear them as two of the members were our former classmates, Jean Schoen and Howard Fisher. We then went into the drug store for some soda. Here we saw Delano Swanson, a salesman for Little Joan comic books. Back at Ralph's farm we boarded our jet and sped on. Soon we landed in a little village. Our first stop was a little hat shop. As we stepped inside, we saw that excellent milliner, Delores Sudbrink, designing men's hats. She showed us some of the hats she had designed and added that the most popular hat pur- chased by the men was her very original Cedarburg top hat . The only colors she made it in were orange and black. We walked about a block further to a modeling school. The director of the school was the former Mary Ann Moegenburg. Mary invited us in and we saw a boy and girl modeling. She said that all clothes modeled by her students were exclusive Jerry Zdroiek originals. The boy was wearing a tuxedo which consisted of a boxy jacket and sailor boy trousers. The young lady was wearing the most darling lavender green draw- string formal. Mary suggested that we also go to see Shirley Thierman's Sweet Shop, which was about a block down the street. Shirley was so glad to see us that she gave each one of us a kiss f a candy kiss, of courseb. Our next stop was at the town called Sleepy Hollow. We went immediately to the city office to see where our friends lived. At the office we were greeted by the mayor, Audrey Rappold, who had only one eye open, as she had been out the night before. She said she would be glad to show us the town. First of all we went to a dime store operated by Grace Clausing. Grace Leiter was in one corner of the store, demonstrating and selling Snap Back Bubble Gum, which has that extra pull and is guaranteed to strengthen anyone's jaw. Grace asked us whether we had seen the new book, HOW TO MAKE A MILLION AND KEEP lT by Lois Herrmann. Next, Audrey took us to the Polka Dolls Dance Studio, which was conducted by Lois Bartell and Rose Vey. The pupils danced to the music of Shirley Zieger's concertina. Shirley said that on special occasions Loraine Hillmann accompanied her on the flute. We then went to the Willard Hintz Supper Time Club. The food was served to us by the cutest waitress whom we immediately recognized as Sylvia Graese. During the meal, we were entertained with an alto solo by Carol Gollnick, accompanied by Franklin Friede at the piano. The song she sang had been composed and written by Carol Hoffmann. Wil1ard's cousin Delwin came on the stage next and did a ballet dance. We had six more seniors to visit, so we thanked Audrey for her kindness and dashed to our jet. It was not long before we landed at the White House. We wondered whom we would see here. The fairy took us to the kitchen where we saw Catherine Oberhen baking a cherry pie for the President's dinner. Only a few days before she had been honored by being asked to bake a cherry pie for the ideal wife of the year , who was Audrey fLuedersD Filter. We also went to see Kenneth Wolff, who was now the well-liked private tutor to the White House youngsters. By now we were very tired and were all set to head for Cedarburg. We traveled about 2,000 miles when the fairy had to land the plane at an airport for some gas. To our surprise the owner of the airport was Ronald Schauble. Andrew Armbuster gave us the gas and shined up the plane in a second. .At last we were in Cedarburg again. We told the fairy that words could not express how thankful we were for the wonderful trip she had given us. Suddenly she vanished and we found ourselves alone in the city park. Since it was quite late Joan and Jessie stayed at my house. As we were ready to retire, I, Georgia Nicolaus, told them of some of the experiences which I en- countered as a teacher at the new Cedarburg High School. :They in turn told me of their jobs as airline hostesses. That night all three of us dreamed of that wonderful day when we had seen our old friends again. i IW X 4 ' fs f 1 ff' Q.. ,nfl .. . --Q
