 MEMORIES In 1951, 46 green freshmen entered Deshler High with James Weber as our advisor. Eleven new students joined us from Westhope; Betty Nickles, Ruth Swie- bert, Beatrice McMaster, Jean Creager, Carmen Imbrock, Marlene Meyer, Lois Hoops, Marvin Tietje, Ruth Bremer, Marilyn Shively and Janet Robison. Jonis Goller and Jim Diercx and Gene Maas were also new students. We lost two fellow classmates: Shirley Perry and Don Wink. We elected our officers who were Lowell Walthers, Donna Kop- penhofer, Morilyn Johnson, Joann Ruskey, and Vern Tussing. Before we knew it we were entering D. H. S. as Sophomores, with James Weber as our advisor. Betty Betts was our only newcomer and Melva Wink withdrew, leaving Deshler High with 44 experienced Sophomores. We elected Roger Trenkamp, Audrey Hoops, Gene Maas, Jim Dierickx and Beatrice McMoster to head the class for that year. Instead of an initiation we gave the freshmen a party to welcome them into high school. We ordered our class rings in the spring of I 953 and received them the follow- ing September, just in time to start the last half of our high school days. In September of 1953, 46 Juniors enrolled at D. H. S. Rollie Van Pelt, Delores Mahlman, and Charles Moses joined our class and Roselaine Zimmerman withdrew. James Weber was again our advisor and Betty Betts, Gene Maas, Carmen Imbrock, Morion Fintel and Linda Yungmann were our officers. Our Junior Class Play, Where's Laurie, was given October 26, 1954 with Mrs. Adelia Schwiebert and Mr. Robert Bonhardt directing it. The event which we had all been looking forward to was soon upon us, The Junior-Senior Prom, which was to be given May 6. We decided on the theme, Nep- tune's Gardens, which was decorated to resemble the oceon floor, with King Nep- tune reigning over the dance. A large lighted revolving ball was hung from the ceiling to give the effect of rippling waves. The stage was decorated to resemble an aquar- ium and gilted fish were hung from the ceiling. At twelve o'clock we went to the Star Theater to attend a show and then returned to the school for breakfast, to end one of the most important events of our high school days. We entered our last year of high school with 45 students. James Weber and Richard Norton were our advisors. Reggie Meyer joined our class and Paul Gobrogge withdrew. Rollie VanPelt moved awoy. The officers for this year were Gene Maas, Vern Tussing, Linda Yungmann and Marian Fintel. We started raising money for our trip with mogazine drives, Christmas Card Sales, refreshments at bosketboll games and selling candy at noon. Later on in our Senior year we sponsored a car wash, a show at the Star Theater and a fish fry. Another big event was our Senior Class Play, Who Wouldn't Be Crazy, which was given March 25, 1955. The directors were Richard Norton ond Miss Nichols. After a year of hard work, March 27 finally came and we left for Washington. After four days of sightseeing and excitement we re- turned to Deshler. Days flew by and it was soon time for our graduation. Baccalaur- eate Services were on May 15, and graduation on May 20. Farewell to dear old Deshler High.
