OUR AUTOBIOGRAPHY By — The Seniors On September 4, 1945, we, as thirty-six energetic Freshmen, enrolled in Dorchester High School. During this first year, we took part in all the curricular activities, one of which was the carnival. Our popularity candidates, James Herman and Jeannine Mertens, received second place. Our Sophomore year with Mr. Carnahan as class advisor had us thinking of the future, so here we were selling different articles to raise money. The popularity candidates at the carnival were Robert Schumacher and Helen Peissig. They received third place. The Junior year was a busy one, with the annual fall carnival taking place. Danny Kramer and Joyce Ortlieb lead the grand march as first place was received. Our Junior Prom, on April 16, 1948, with Robert Schumacher and Betty Beck reign- ing as king and queen, was a success. The hall was decorated to the theme of “Serenade of the Bells. The year was completed with a class picnic on May 27th. Our trip took us up to Copperfalls, Wisconsin and up to the bay of Lake Superior at Ashland. At last we have arrived at our Senior year! The programs of many of us were crowded with responsibilities, other than class particiaption. Marvin Busse, after a September class meeting, found himself President of the class: Danny Kramer became Vice-President, Joyce Ortlieb, Secretary, Roland Larson, Treasurer, and Robert Schumacher, Class Reporter. The Senior Ball was held on November 13, 1948 with Leaves Come Tumbling Down as the theme. The Varsity Boys furnished the music. The grand march was lead by Marvin Busse and Joyce Ortlieb who reigned as king and queen. Out on a Limb was the name of the class play presented in April. During all four years, our class has participated in the activities and our basketball boys have been champions for four years at the inter-class tournaments. The motto chosen by the class is The Way is Hard, but the Prize is Great. Our class colors are maroon and silver and our flower is the white rose. On May 26, 1949, in maroon caps and gowns, all twenty-two seniors received their diplomas at the evening commencement exercises held at the Recreation Hall. 13
