CLASS HI TURY We started our high school careers four years ago as frightened and yet hopeful and curious Freshmen with forty-two members. Our advisors were Mr. Hoover and Mr. Blomeke, and our officers were president, Marilyn Burkhart, vice president, Anthony Muehlfeld, secretary-treas- urer, Carolyn Casebere, student council, Bart Kosier. The sophomores welcomed us with a party and we in turn thanked them with another. We didn't think too much about money making this year, although we did have a bake sale and our dues amounted to 25 cents a month. As freshmen some of us joined F.F.A., F.H.A., band, chorus, and some of the boys made the baseball and basketball teams. During this year we lost six members and gained two. We started our sophomore year with thirty-eight members. Our advisor this year was Mr. Shoup, and our officers were president, Elsie Irwin, vice president, Phyllis Goebel, secretary-treasurer, Marilyn Trausch, student council, Jim Free. As money making projects we had another bakesale and sold Christmas cards. Our dues again amounted to 25 cents a month. We were now eligible to join Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y and some of us were accepted as members. Some of us were honored to be chosen to serve the junior-senior banquet. Several of our more studious members qualified as probationary members of the National Honor Society. Thirty-six of us returned to Edgerton High School in our junior year. Mr. Stauffer and Mr. Koenn were our sponsors. As officers we elected Elizabeth Knecht, president, Marilyn Trausch, vice president, Margaret Herman, secretary, Virginia Reinhart, treasurer, Don Hug, student council. The following twelve students were formally inducted Z6

Our theme was the Mardi Gras and was carried out with crepe paper, balloons, masks, and every colorful thing we could find. Everyone liked it, especially the surprised seniors . Pat Kissinger and Leo Muehlfeld were chosen to crown the King and Queen of the Mardi Gras - Jim Free and Donna Wagner. Six of our members were enrolled in the National Honor Society. Representing our class were Jerry Tucker, Marilyn Snyder, Tom Knecht, Roberta Lee, Joe Miller, and Gail Mast. Juniors on the scholarship team this year were Jerry Tucker in advanced algebra, Gail Bauer in American history, Lora Smith in English, Carolyn Schimmel in Latin ll, and Charlotte Norrick in beginning bookkeeping. At the closing of the year we all bade the seniors goodbye with the idea that next year we would be taking their places in Edgerton High School. Z5 1'QtL'Pa ' ,fi 'tfiiifiiss

HAROLD FLEGAL -- A little man. JAMES FREE -- The best way to get something done is to do it. EUGENE GALLANT -- Dig that gal I BEVERLY GOEBEL -- The only way you can be rich in this world CLASS HI TURY in the National Honor Society: Carolyn Casebere, Juanita Emanuel, Phyllis Goebel, Sharon Henricks, Margaret Herman, Elsie Irwin, Elizabeth Knecht, Sharon Thomas, Marilyn Trausch, Virginia Reinhart, Duane Miller, and Anthony Muehlfeld. We were very proud of our beautiful class rings which we received this year. Earning money began in earnest. Our dues were 51.00 a month. We had a bake sale, a car wash, and also presented our class play The Campbells are Coming directed by Mr. Koenn. The theme for the Junior-Senior banquet was Moonlight and Roses. We had a dance afterward for the students and their dates. Our senior year again found us with thirty-six members. Mr. Anderson sponsored us this year and our elected officers were Anthony Muehlfeld, president, Junior Whitney, vice president, Sharon Henricks, secretary, Virginia Reinhart, treasurer, Marilyn Trausch, student coun- cil . Our senior pictures were taken and we received them in time for use as Christmas presents. Our dues were SI0.00 this year. We sold magazines, operated the concession stand for ball games and presented our class play Desperate Ambrose under the direction of Mr. Koenn. Our class was the first class here to sell over SISOO worth of magazines. We feel we owe that success to the wonderful cooperation our class has had through high school. During the second semester some of our more studious members took scholarship exams. Also we selected as our class motto Life is What You Make It. Our class colors were maroon and gray and our class flower the white carnation. Two boys in our class, Don Hug and Bart Kosier, ioined the armed services during the year and that left us with thirty-four graduates. The class did not get to take their annual skip day. Grades were averaged and Marilyn Trausch was named as valedictorian, Juanita Emanuel as salutatorian, and Carolyn Casebere as historian.
