Glenwood City High School - Messenger Yearbook (Glenwood City, WI)

Text from Pages 1 - 68 of the 1953 volume:

THE MESSENGER Published by the SENIOR CLASS of the Glenwood Cipy High School Dedication Outstanding men rarely present themselves in a position whereby they may attain honor. So it is with the greatest of respect and admiration that the Messenger Staff of 1953 dedicates our Annual to Mr. Frederick Johnson. His distinctive style of teaching, his deep understanding of human nature, and his calm and casual mannerisms have made him one of the most esteemed teachers our school has ever had.

Mr. Lee, Mr. Flottum Class History It all began when we were freshmen- Freshmen are scared, insignificant, green, juvenile indi- viduals, who spend their first days knocking their knees together and trying to understand bells In the fall of '49 we seniors of G.C.H.'S. began our four year climb to the hill-top. We were a little mystified at first, but after the sophomore initiation we felt like one of the group. What girl wouldn't after spending a day in itchy men's underwear, work shoes, and no make up! The boys came in dresses and high heels and plenty of make up! Ah! How green, we were going to the wrong classes at the wrong time, doing odds and ends that the upper-classmen left behind. We waited for the chance to get back at the sophomores when we gave them a return party. Finally we were officially members of the G.C.H.:S. 'Our first class officers were: President, David Knops, Vice President, Judy Voskuil, Secretary- Treasurer, Shirley Jeske. Our activities began at homecoming time when we selected Jane Powers as queen candidate. . . . . . . In some way or other the freshman year passed and when September rolled around 61 former green things inherited the title of Soph. we accepted it eagerly. No matter what organization, outside activity, class or individual scholastic record you investigate, the sophomores were well rep- resented. During this year we had the pleasure of dictating the terms for the initiation-to give an ample punishment for the FRlESHME'N. Our officers were: President, David Knops, Vice- Pres- ident, Shirley Nyhus, Secretary, Shirley Jeske, Treasurer, Tom Powers. Judy Voskuil was home- coming candidate for queen. Showing true school spirit Jack Delage, Bill Meulemans, and Judy Voskuil were three of the 'iB team cheerleaders. Sports constituted activity for Jim Schillinger, Ray Butler, Eugene Sand- ers, Richard Hagen, Keith Larson, and Gene Bischel, for they were already fitted with football uni- forms. Majority of the class were enrolled in various extra curricular activities as band, chorus, forensics, F.LH.A., F.F.A., etc. . . . . . So here we are-juniors. Three years have passed since that tragic morning we trudged up the hill to the red brick school house. 'Our junior year will be one of long remembrance. For this busy year, we re-elected David Knops, President, Alta Crosby, Vice President, Helen Davis, Secretary, Wayne Peterson, Treasurer. UDave left us early in the year to leave for the Air Force, he turned his office to the Vice President.J Helen Davis was selected to represent us as queen candidate- for homecoming. One high spot was the production of A Young Man's Fancy under the direction of Miss Phelan, starring Bill Meulemans and Helen Davis. Many new stars were discovered for the stage and movies. The big dance of the year, the Prom, holds another high light in the junior year. We chose Bill Meulemans as king, he chose Shirley Nyhus as his queen. The class selected China Town as our theme. If you rtmember, the gym was elaborately decorated with Chinese decorations. The Black- hawks furnished the music. Already we received our class rings and were admired by all. Then at class day exercises the traditional spade for scholarship, hammer for leadership, and the mirror for personality were given to three juniors: Alta received the spade, Jerry the hammer, and Helen Gast the mirror. . . . . . . Time marches on-the stage is set, the players are in action. At last the time has come when we have actually become that dignified and supreme being-a senior. We are nearing the end of a task begun four years ago. The goal we were seeking through these years arrived, when we as seniors could set the example for all the underclassmen, when we were the envy of all the under-class- men. Class officers were: President, Wayne Peterson, Vice President, Roger Benson, Secretary, Shirley Jeske, Treasurer, Jerry Moe. Our class play Spring Fever under the direction of Mr. Hensey, was a big hit. Alan Canfield and Connie Meacham played leads. Other supporting roles were-: Jerry Moe, Shirley Nyhus, Helen Gast, Louise White, Edith Hoffman, Wayne Peterson, Phil Slama, and Shirley Jeske. Roger Benson was elected President of the Student Council, Louise- White President F.H.A., Wayne Peterson F.F.A., Jim Schillinger President vLetterman's Club, Bob Hinman edtior of Annual Staf. Shirley Nyhus homecoming queen candidate. Jack Delage, John Bischel, Curt Leavitt were on the first ten basketball team this year. Unfortunately things weren't so good! Don James, Phil Slama. and Ray Butler were active in Ag Judging. Yes, these are only a few of the high positions held by the seniors who are the students of today and will be the government of tomorrow for We are going out of the harbor into the sea. We, the seniors of G.C.H.iS. bring our high school days to an end the 20th of May. Some of us have made definite plans for the future, others still undecided, at any rate we fully realize our future is what we make it!
