Senior Class History Every Senior will remember that big day in September, 1949, when we entered C. H. S. as Freshmen. Remember the mad dash tor lockers, and your first look at fellow advisoryites''? The kidding from upper classmen? Remember? We couldn't figure out how they knew we were Freshmen. It took us two weeks to find the right classes. We fell into the routine as football season dug itself in. Then, with Richard Jeffrey as our class president, we were officially represented. P.S. Gals, remember how we quickly began lengthening skirts! Nineteen-fifty brought our revenge on incoming freshies; bubbler passes, eleva- tor routines and all. We re-elected Richard Jeffrey as President of our class, and let the school know that there was plenty of talent coming up. with the Sophomores. Our Post Prom was a big success despite the fact that the Water Ballet was held the same evening. What a run-around we gave Richard Kent's orchestra! We modernized them that night. Someone even tried to bump us all off with chlorine gas that season. The Giant Killers of C. H. S. won the football championship that year. Everyone went to the last game against Wauwatosa, including the band, but couldn't play because the instruments froze. Many loyal fans were hoarse the next morning. As Juniors and upperclassmen. 1951-52, was good to us. Margie Krikelas and Jim Lehrmann reigned over our Junior Prom Pink Fantasy . Fog Island, our first at- tempt at being top rate hams, was a success despite muffed lines. The long awaited year arrived. Seniors at last, we gave the school a run for its money on Pigtail Day with Lois McFall and Dave Melcher as queen and king. Re- member our games at the party that night? With Gloria Suchocki crowned by Jake Zielke as queen of the Homecoming, we made it one of the best celebrations ever. Diane Fowler, Joan Lang, Barbara Kuszewski and Helen Nagy joined in Gloria’s court. Our attempt at a gala Christmas dance, The Senior Snowball was a big success despite the absent orchestra. No one will forget the sherbet punch at that dance, we'll wager. Diane Fowler and Jerry Daniels were chosen as the leading senior couple. February brought our presentation of Hobgoblin House , a humorous comedy, presented by our Senior players, who were hammier than ever. The audience rolled in the aisle (almost) . Rhapsody in Blue , the annual Senior Hop, was presented March 6, with Queen Kathleen Mott and King Robert Aleksy leading the Grand March. It was the most out- standing hop ever held in history and we were proud of it. Our Senior banquet was a huge celebration. Senior Day too! Wasn't that a jazzy assembly we presented? Then before we knew it, our knees were shaking, only much more than the first time when we entered Cudahy High, for this was graduation night. We were leaving, never again to return as students, but only to remember, as alumni. We will miss Cud- ahy High, despite the trials and hard work, and in years to come we will look back on 1949-1953, and remember all the wonderful times we had. We are sure Cudahy will remember us. We have left our mark on this school; desks, lawn, teachers, and all. But we hope to be remembered for our outstanding par- ticipation in extracurricular activities, our scholastic ratings, our citizenship, and leader- ship, and we hope to make Cudahy High proud of us in years to come •when taking on the responsibilities of our chosen life, whatever it may be. We hope and aim to some- day be the outstanding Cudahy alumni. And, finally, we hope that classes following us will always hold their heads high, proud to be a part of the C. H. S. family, ideals, and tradition, continuing to build and strengthen them.
