Of course, they were glad to see us come, because the upper-classmen would feel piqued if they didn't have some nice green Freshies to pick on. We carried on though, for we didn’t mind much. The sophomores, of course, initiated us; and in due time we gave them a return party. The next chapter, if less interesting, was by no means dull. We initiated the new Freshmen and. as in the previous year, we took part in the carnival sponsored by the Seniors. Then came another year we could again feel important—for weren't wo to get our class rings? Yes, and an onlooker would have thought that we were the first to ever get any. Since we were then Juniors it was our privilege to give the main show at the carnival, a highly successful play entitled, The Handy Man.” As spring rolled around we started plans on an entirely new idea having a Spring Dance instead of the customary Prom. It was the high point of the year and undoubtedly far more successful than would a Prom have been. But along with all these happy events we had one sad event: the death of a classmate—Lawrence Deitzkow—due to an accidental gun shot wound. What's this? Hurrah! Seniors at last. How we've waited for our chance to rule over the other classes. This was our chance to sponsor the carnival, which proved a success, both socially and financially. The play which we presented was—“This Genius Business.” We had our graduation pictures taken, and as usual no one was satisfied. We are now anxiously waiting May 23, which is graduation day. 5 JANE BURGER Burgie l.ovety I look at. delightful to bnerw.

(Signed) HARRY H. HANSEN. (Signed) ELMER DONOHUE. 9 Class Prophecy It is a warm evening in June of the year 1956; the scene is at the Hansen Estate. Mr. Hansen is sitting out on the lawn thinking that it is about time Punky returned, when suddenly there is a whirl in the air and Punky pulls up in her autogiro. •'Gosh, Dad. says Punky. I hope I didn’t stay too latO. No. Dear, replies Daddy, But corr.e sit by me while I watch the sunset. The beautiful colors began to sink in the west and the scene is peaceful as Punky asks-------- Dad. what ever happened to that class of ’46?” Well. Punky. since I’ve retired I've often wondered what they are up to. Heard tell the other day that Bill Donohue is still in the Navy trying to mni.e admiral rates. Can't say ns I blame him. Admirals get gcod money after they’ve retired. I saw in the paper last night where Eugene Champlne just flew to Hawaii. I suppose he is still chasing the girls. I know he always was in school. Carpenter's store, you remember when they used to own it. Don't you Punky. well, that has been taken over by Eddie Sturzl and he is proving to put out quite a bit of competition. In the literary field Glenn Burger has just published his book. HOW TO BE A BACHELOR. From the critics. I hear it is a success. “Some of the '46 class are still living around town, though. I sec where Germaine Hoenig has given up her home on the north side to live in Riggsville. You know that place they call Siding One, well. Ardena Kendall is the new leader of the Siding One 4-H Boosters now. The love-life, so to speak, turned cut pretty much as I expected. Here it is ten years later and Helen Smith still hasn’t decided if its Kenny Juettcn or Dick DeNoble. I hope she makes up her mind soon. Bill Duff mnrried Marilyn Gieschen. They’re living up in this part of the country. I was talking to him the other day and he’s still threatening to quit peeling bolts: Just like in the spring of ’46. Darrel Deaton has gone to work on the Soo Line and Jane Burger finds it hard to wait until he comes home from work. Rosemarie Ceascr has traveled some distance from the old Alma Mater. You can find her up in Alaska; she must like the climate- or something!!: “I think that takes care of the romantic side of it. Punky. but there are still some members of the class left. I have heard that Mary Lu Hoffman has made good in the Philadelphia Harmonic Symphony Orchestra. Theresa Kalata and Betty Richard meet regularly to exchange bits of gossip at the Argonne Ladies Weekly Social. Guess Betty is the president of the club. I heard the other day how Jerry Plummer fell asleep on the train and it took him all the way across the states. So far he’s gotten back to Nebraska hitch-hiking. Your mother was saying wc should go see that movie Little but Lovable , starring Florence Stern. She sure got a good break in Hollywood. Well now take Ardyce Croncc, the famous New York Model, she was discovered by a model talent scout one day while drinking coke in Marsh’s Drug Store. Yet all the senior girls aren’t celebrities. Lorraine Sparks is private secretary in the “Get Your Man Perfume Factory, owned and operated by Bill Christenson. “Doris Padour is now a laboratory technician at some hospital in San Francisco. Don't know if its the job or the handsome doctor she likes best, but time will tell. Then there is the rumor that Bernard Sheldon is feverishly working on a new invention: he is going to call it the automobile. Of course, he was a little slow in school, wonder if he will get the patent rights? “Of course you know that Margaret Woodbury and Catherine Tupper arc reporters for the gossip column of the Forest Republican. Harriet Plummer has just been named Miss Wisconsin for 1 56. Elaine Ginzl has gone on a pleasure tour of the world. She is traveling incognito . Lydia Gumm is the proprietor of the Mademoisille La Gumm Beauty Salon in downtown New York. She has made quite a name for herself. By this time the sun dissapeared in the west and shadows are beginning to lengthen. Mrs. Hansen calls her family to dinner and Punky and Mr. Hansen both walk away deep in thought. 10 CHS II CHS I.EKT TO RIGHT: Lorraine Me Million Vice President. DanaM Kincaid— President, Hetty Petrick Secretary and Treasurer. Under the faithful supervision of Mrs. O'Donnell and Mr. Elmer Donohue, the forty members of the junior class have led an eventful year. At the first class meeting the following officers were elected: Donald Kincaid, president; Lorraine McMillion, vice president; and Betty Petrick, secretary and treasurer. For three years the juniors have won first prize for having the best float in the homecoming parade. They are proud of their fin© record. It was a gala day for the juniors when their class rings arrived. Three juniors, Peggy Tallier. Lorraine McMillion. and Dorothy Christenson were the school's cheerleaders this year. They are to be congratulated for the vigor and pep which they added to our ball games. On May 3 the juniors gave a semi-formal spring dance for the seniors which proved to be the outstanding social event of the year. The gym was effectively decorated for the occasion. 12 CHS MOW A I .eft to riu! t; Wilmorc Kcitlcy. Ralph Chailraw. J n- Jcfick. Ervin fit-nld, Donald Kin� i)l. John (iravili-r, John Brouillurd.

Garland Case— President. The Sophomores storied school with seventy-two confident students. They had a total enrollment of sixty-one at the end of the school year. To start the year off right, they elected the following officers: Garland Case, president; Jerry Cronce, vice president; Juno Robbins, secretary-treasurer. Then came the traditional initiation of the freshies , in which everyone freely participated. It was carried on throughout the day and before an enjoyable dance, which was given in the evening. These energetic Sophomores successfully carried out their part in the Homecoming float and the Senior Carnival. They had a fine record in both football and basketball, having five boys who received letter awards. Three Sophomores went out for forensics. The Sophomore class is grateful to the class advisors. Mrs. Matthews and Mr. G. Donohue, for their guidance and leadership. Marilyn: Do you love me with all your heart and soul? Bill: Uh huh. Marilyn: Do you think I’m the most beautiful girl in all the world? Bill: Yeah. Marilyn: Do you think my lips are like rose petals, my eyes like limpid pools, my hair like silk? Bill Yep. Marilyn: Oh. you say the most beautiful things. 14' CHS ROW 5— Left to Right; Jerry Cronce, Garland Case. Bill Mountain. George Puluhicki Kdwin Kegley. Dee DeMars. Ervin Simandl. Richard Phciffer.

Sixty-two excited Freshmen entered Crandon High School last September full of spirit and hope. During the first semester, seven withdrew or were transferred to other schools. At our first class mooting we elected Gone Robbins as our president, Wallace Bradley as vice president, and Jerry Compton as secretary and treasurer. Activities for the school term started off with the initiation which most of us considered an especially big event. We were all good sports, and everyone had a good time at the initiation dance. Our class has adapted itself very well to high school life. We have taken part in all the school activities, an unusually large number going out for athletics, and forensics, and others participating in the Homecoming Float and the Freshmen game at the Carnival. We wish to thank our class advisors, Mrs. Tupper and Mr. Netzel, for the part they had in making our undertakings successful. 16 ROW 5—Left to Right. Norman Houle. Frank Sturzl. David Otinccr.

It was also announced that Sturzl and Duff were chosen on the all-conference team. Our team was invited to the Antigo tournamont. We were defoatod by Antigo in our first game.

The members shov ed their wise choice in the election of officers. Eddie Sturzl was chosen to lead the club with Ralph Chartraw and Shelby Harris as officers. Their first activity was the boxing matches at the Carnival. Later they sponsored the Homecoming dance. After basketball season the boys sponsored the class tournament.

Chorus Our chorus has had a fin© representation this year. Under the able direction of Mr. G. Donohue and Mrs. O'Donnell, they have advanced from a group of raw recruits to trained singers. Every Wednesday afternoon a period was set aside for choral practice. The chorus has provided amusement for others as well as themselves. They sang between acts at the Senior Class Play and at other school events. Various members and groups made public appearances at the Lion's Club and American Legion meetings. At Christmas time the chorus and band presented a Christmas pageant to which the public was invited. The chorus took an active part in the Spring Music Festival held in May. Six girls and five boys sang individual solos in addition to the numbers by the entire chorus. This vocal training will prove to be invaluable to the chorus members as they go through life. We look forward to hearing more of the chorus next year. 24 ROW S: l.cfi to Right: Roll.uul Schumacher. Wallace Bnulley. Mr. CrraM Donohue. Morton Steele. Jerry Compton, Krvin Simamll, Jayne Burner.

Instruments were hard to obtain, and some of our players were called into service. Nevertheless, this year shows a decided upward climb. To the seventeen members of last year's band, twenty-four new members have been added. During the course of the year, the band has been invited to play at various school and city functions. At the football and basketball games they helped cheer our team both in victory and defeat. Our band was well represented at the district Spring Music Festival which was held in May. They played in class C and marched in the parade. They also entered thirteen solo events. Never before has such enthusiasm been shown. This year the school is offering letters to band students. The band elected Mary Lu Hoffman as their president and Noreen Ison, secretary-treasurer. 25 Characters: Beaumont Blodgett, a tall, lanky boy of 18—Bill Donohue.

She hopes to realize some of her thwarted desires in her children. Raising flowers is George's hobby, and it has never found favor with his wife. He has finally moved into a room back of his hardware store. Aline plans a recital to introduce the children to the public, while Rita Rinaldi, a famous actress, is visiting her. Rita is rather lukewarm in her praise of the children's musical abilities. Instead she finds that Katie has a beautiful, promising voice and plans a music career for her. Aida has an attack of tonsilitis, and young Dr. Oliver's interest in his patient quickly becomes a personal one. This fact, together with Beaumont's Interest in.his father's store, and his lack of concern in the cello, ends Aline's recital plans. With her hopes crushed, she turns to her husband for comfort and companionship. There is a new respect in her heart for George has just sold a dahlia for five thousand dollars. George sees a happy future. with his wife and home restored to him, opportunity to putter around in his flowers. Beau has his business partner, and Aida happily married. The play cast is deeply appreciative of the patien t efforts and skillful direction of Mrs. Marjorie Tupper. LEFT TO RIGHT Ardena Kendall. DnrU Padour. Germain- Koenig. Mr . Tupper, Bill Donohue.
