Se U n One bright autumn day of 1946, a new class of freshmen eagerly advanced upon Cudahy High School. Too bad we didn't have the new look to cover up those shaky knees as we gingerly groped our way through a maze of halls and a million doors. Yes, we were the greenies , and it stuck out all over. With Mel Zemplinski as our class president, however, we bravely waded through our first year of high school. The beginning of our second year was spent mostly with kidding the new arrival of freshmen with no mercy. We were the sophomores . . . practically upper classmen! Leona Jagodzinski and Bill Vatter reigned over our big social event of the year, the Post Prom. Now, solidly cast into the important role of getting an education, we again chose Mel Zemplinski to head our class. Now we were juniors, regular big wheels. To help us through this year, we chose Ralph Oelke as our class president. We were so proud of our lovely homecoming queen, Angie Vetrano. What did it matter to us if we lost our homecoming game? A mere detail! Remember the unusually long junior class play Our Hearts Were Young and Gay ? Weren't Lois Ziebell, Elaine Dugan, and .their safety pockets funny? They certainly had their troubles. The highlight of our high school career, the Junior Prom, was really something to remember. With Blue Hawaii as the theme, King Jerry Bowe and Queen Fran Sajdak led the grand march in regal splendor. We'll all remember the palm trees and other decorations we worked so hard on. Finally we had arrived. Our senior year—1950—and we got to sit downstairs for assemblies! Neil Szabrowicz was elected senior class president and Ralph Hingiss president of the Student Council. Margie Kreier was elected Homecoming Queen. Dick Cheke, Mel Zemplinski, and Bob Nessler made the all-suburban football team. On November I, the school seemed to be invaded with kiddies . Why? Pigtail Day of course, and didn't Jeanne Drexler and Bill Vatter make a cute King and Queen? One Mad Night , our senior class play certainly had well-suited characters, and we do mean Ken Lanke and Charlie Miller. Gypsy Tea Room was the theme of the Hop. Queen Lorraine Kroll chose Bob Nessler as her king. And ... last but not least... all the last days of school. The senior banquet, senior day and the senior assembly found us looking back over our high school days with fond memories. Once more we found our knees knocking as we went forward to receive our hard-earned diplomas. We leave Cudahy High School in body, yes, but not in mind. All our wonderful memories of our high school days will remain forever among our most cherished memories. is
