QlaAdu It was only one hundred years from the time of the California gold rush that we, the freshmen of '49 began our flight with destination graduation, in what seemed a far off '53. It seems as though we flew at jet plane speed through those four years, and now as we approach this day of graduation, we suddenly pause to wonder what happened in these last four years. What did we accomplish, just what did we do? Remember our freshman year? Joining our class to make 44, were seven students from Westhope; William Behrmann, Ervin Hastedt, Donald Hoops, Ruth Meienburg, Gloria Thurston, Howard Ward, and Marian Yungmann. Jerry Straley from Belmore, and Vernon Panning also joined us. With Miss Martha Kahle as our advisor, we elected the following officers to help us through the rough year. Pres................Richard Bertz Sec...............Sharon Dubbs Vice Pres.........Gloria Thurston Treas.........Marian Yungmann The big event for us that year was the day the Sophomores initiated us. By the time they were through with us, we looked a mess and felt likewise; although we all survived the ordeal. Katherine Ann Ziegler left us after the first semester, and Sandra Firman at the end of the year. Our Sophomore year we started out 43 strong, to continue on to graduation. Mr. John Homze was selected as our class advisor, and the following officers were elected. Pres..................Richard Papoi Sec.......................Kenneth Scholl Vice Pres...............Howard Ward Treas.....................Richard Bertz During our Sophomore year, Tom Knoke and Pauline Cox joined us; and Betty and Fred Brit-enriker moved away. Early in the fall we had the privilege of welcoming into the high school, the freshmen class. Games and contests provided fun at the Memorial Field. In May we ordered our class rings which arrived late in the summer. For our Junior year we elected: Pres................Howard Ward Sec.........Virginia Koppenhofer Vice Pres.........Gloria Thurston Treas..........Marian Yungmann With Mr. John Homze, our class advisor and play director, we presented It's A Great Life , which after many practices and a lot of fun proved a big success. After much planning and preparation, that day of days, which fell this year on the first of May, was here—our Junior-Senior Banquet. Quite fittingly it was patterned after May Day . In the center of our elaborately decorated ballroom (the auditorium) was a May Pole and on the stage a fountain. After the banquet we spent the evening dancing to the music of Klaus-ing's orchestra. At twelve we went to the Star Theater, and after seeing, Saturday's Hero, came back to the school for a breakfast. Of our high school days, this banquet will no doubt remain our pride and joy. At last! Although it seemed incredible our long awaited, last year of school finally arrived. To man the controls through this year of years we elected as our class officers: Pres .................Tom Knoke Sec...............Virginia Ruskey Vice Pres............Ervin Hastedt Treas.............Ruth Meienburg With Mr. Burke and Miss Kindt, our class advisors, we began almost immediately our long hard struggle to finance a five-day trip to Washington, D.C. Early in the fall the class went to Dicken's Studio at Fostoria and had their individual pictures taken. On January 26, the group pictures within the school were taken for the Annual. In February we began working and practicing on our play, Desperate Ambrose , which we presented on March 27, in the high school auditorium. This too was a rootin', tootin', hilarious success. On March 29, with most of our projects completed and our business in order, Mr. and Mrs. Smykil chaperoned us on that well deserved trip to Washington, D.C. And so it was on May 21, that 37 remaining seniors, making up the class of '53, proudly received their diplomas.
