Conscience: The still small voice that makes you feel still smaller. The third year we changed leadership with Mr. Belken at the wheel, Mrs. Miller co-pilot, and Miss Knutson as the stewardess. Y.’e also picked up three new passengers, D-ris Belken, John Lifka and Gerald Schotanus. Doris Belken also abandoned the ship and bearded that of another name the next year. On our last span, we again changed leadership, with Miss Christenson the pilot, Mrs. Miller the co-pilot while Mrs. Casey served us the first lap and Mr. Tannatt the last. Y e succeeded our journey with twelve tired crew members. As they step off the gangplank of the Education we find them as follows: At the head of the line is Donald Dalluge, namely Fritz He is rather short built but has maintained the title of man- ager on the boys and girls basketball team and also of the baseball team. Following is James Macken, a handsome husky lad. He is better known as Mike . He is one of the star guard’s on the basketball team and plays third base on the baseball team. Elmer Schultz is next in line, sometimes called all state . He is a star as forward on the basketball team and shortstop on the baseball team. He is noted for his temper. James V.’agner widely known as Butch is now marked off the list. Another one of our star basketball guards and also baseball catcher. His hobby is going to shows at Manly. Hunting and fishing also add to his collection. Next there is Dale Huebner star pitcher of the Grafton baseball team and a forward on the basketball team. He is known around as Skinny . He likes sports, mainlv ..unting and fishing. I ' . i: .V: ■ mtm John Lifka comes next, better known as nBudn or just plain John. A one tirr baseball catcher, and good supporter of the team. He goes out mostly for girls. To record our trip we have Marilyn Schultz, Mary for short. She is an admirer of music and plays forward on the basketball team. She is well known for fast talking and for the twitching of her left eyebrow for some pecular reason. Next we have Lois May, a rather quiet type of girl, who has red hair and a temper to go with it, but she always comes out smiling. She is a sub on the basketball team and likes kittenball too. Her nickname is Red . Arlene Krueger, known as Matie to all, now steps off. She is interested in music and plays the piano. She is guard on the basketball team and likes kittenball among other things. Russel Schultz, the husky farm boy, is better known as Russ . He plays short and second in baseball although he doesn’t go out for basketball. He is rather quiet and friendly, but get him started and look out. He says he doesn’t get around much anymore. A deep base voice steps out next. It is Roger Hackbart, the tall 6’ lad from the country. Ticky is a familiar nick- name he responds to. He is star center on the basketball team and plays first base on the baseball team. Very talkative. Last we have Gerald Schotanus, another tall young fellow who is a star history student. He doesn’t care much to part- icipate in sports but really supports the team. His nickname is Jerry . The great Elmer Hicks who boarded a taxicab at Grand Central Station was so obviously a hayseed that the unscrupulous driver saw a chance for a bonanza. The Biltmore Hotel, said the fare. The Biltmore is only a half block away, but the driver took a circuitous route. At the end of the ride the meter read $14.35. The hayseed’s face flushed with anger. You can’t play me for a sucker! he yelled angrily. I been driven to this hotel once before from Grand Central and the last time the fare was only $12.60. A successful city businessman, (Donald Dalluge) took up farming as a side line. After two years a friend asked him how things were going. Well, I made $10,000 on the farm last year, the businessman said. $10,000? repeated the friend incredulously. Yes, sir, said the businessman firmly. I lost onlv $22,000. The first year I lost $32,000. roof Poise: The art of raising the eyebrows instead of the ★ X Marilyn Schultz Girl Reserves -44 Basketball -44-45-46 Junior Class Play-44-45 Senior Class Play-44-46 School Paper Staff44 Annual Staff -46 Secretary -43 -46 Lois May Girl Reserves -44 Basketball -46 Junior Class Play -45 Senior Class Play -46 Annual Staff -46 Arlene Krueger Girl Reserves -43-44 One Act Play -43 Junior Class Play-44-45 Senior Class Play -46 School Paper Staff44 Annual Staff -46 Basketball -43-44-45-46 Roger Hackbart Basketball -43-44-45-46 Baseball -43-44-45-46 One Act Play -43 • Junior Class Play-44-45 Senior Class Play -46 President -43 -45 School Paper Staff44 Annual Staff -46 Elmer Schultz Basketball -43-44-45-46 Baseball -43-44-45-46 One Act Play -43 Junior Class Play-44 Senior Class Play -46 School Paper Staff44 Annual Staff “46 Dale Huebner Basketball -43-44-45-46 Baseball -43-44-45-46 One Act Play -43 Junior Class Play-44 -4 Senior Class Play -46 School Paper Staff44 Annual Staff -46 President Donald Dalluge Athletic Manager One Act Play -43 Junior Class Play -45 Senior Class Play -46 Annual Staff -46 Basketball -46 Russel Schultz Baseball -45-46 One Act Play -43 School Paper Staff -44 Annual Staff -46 Junior Play Manager -44 James Macken Baseball -43-44-45-46 Basketball -43-44-45-46 One Act Play -43 Junior Class Play -44 Senior Class Play -46 School Paper Staff- -44 Annual Staff -46 Vice President -45 Treasurer -46 James Wagner Baseball Basketball One Act Play Junior Class Play Senior Class Play School Paper Staff Annual Staff Vice President Gerald Schotanus Senior Play Manager John Lifka Baseball Football -41-42 Softball -41-42 Junior Class Play Senior Class Play -43-44-45-46 -43-44-45-46 -43 -44- •45 -46 -44 -46 -46 -46 -45 -45 -46 a CLASS PROPHECY As we gaze into Professor Onzo Gonzo's crystal ball, we see what we are doing twenty years hence. The greatest shr.re of the class has climbed the ladder to success. The saddest and most Jolting thing we see is the passing away of James Macken. He always predicted he would not live to be of age. He always looked healthy but it was a certain girl who smashed r.is heart. (Joyce Nitcher). Next we see Marilyn Schultz who is now residing on a farm east of Grafton. Very prosperous I would say. They sure have their fun but they really work. They have no children. Aha. Strike 1 urn out Skinny old boy. Yes sir, here we see the former pitcher of the Grafton High School hurling for the New York Yankees. He is in there pitching to support his family. He has attained the ripe old age of thirty eight and still can throw a baseball as if he were sixteen. Here comes Russel Schultz with all the muscle still exercising them with old farm labor. It looks as if Clarence got sick of working and turned the big ranch to Russel and Arlene, the whole one hundred eighty acres, rnindja. Russel didn't take a wife, but Arlene makes a pretty good cook. Arlene Krueger, who never likes to go avay• She always used to say she liked to stay hone as long as she could, but now she is residing near Hanlontown on a farm. She really , nabbed a big husky fellow. It was a high school romance. Donald Dalluge has become the manager of the Webb Auto Co. of Mason City. He sure is a little fellow but has the height of success. Gerald Schotanus that talljdark, handsome lad has gone on to college and practiced law. He is the Judge in the Worth County Court House. By the way most of his cases are divorce cases. He tries to marry them after having granted divorces. He accomplished his purpose and lives in Northwood at this time. Jo-un Lifka we see is now in Hollywood and is a movie actor. He ranks with many of the best stars. Must be an exciting life with all the movie stars around. James Vagner is the President of the Standard 0 1 Co., Indianapolis, Indiana. He has settled down with a very attractive young lady who hailed from Manly. Good for him. The only red head in the class, Lois May, has united in holy matrimony with Y.’aldo Flo. Every one knows Y.'aldo and how fond he is of redheads. They really have some nice looking children, all redheads. Ye see Elmer Schultz, not advanced so much in height, but greatly advanced in ambition and ideas. He is now the owner of one of the cattle ranches of Texas. Last but not least the studious lad Roger Hackbart has entered the teaching profession and has moved to Could it be that Belken girl?

CLASS COLORS NAVY BLUE AND GOLD CLASS FLOWER RED CARNATION 4 JUNIOR HISTORY Last but net least is Richard Dick Navratil who sry much interested in Bolan. Could it be the one TENTH GRADE In 1944 ten green freshmen started the four year tour through the Grafton High School. At the middle of the first year Ronald Baumanm decided to leave our group and ♦ go to Carpenter. In 1945, we started again having one less girl, Eernadine Harris, who is getting along O.K. in Plymouth. That leaves us with five girls and three boys. At the head of the line is Mario Flo, with the butch hair cut, who takes a great interest in the person across from him. Next we have Jack Bork, the great home-run hitter, who is also very good at arguing with the teachers. Next in line is a big brawny farm boy. Gene Kuntz, whose only ambition is to pass world history. Then Joyce Nitcher who is an ambitious girl and very interested in ex-servicemen. Then we have Ilene Kirchgatter who likes to work in Wahl's Cafe. When she isn't working she spends her time talking to all the boys. Next is Mary Ann Buechele who has decided to give up her idea of .dollege to be a farmers wife. Then Bonnie Schultz who Just loves to have her picture taken by a certain junior boy. Then last but not least is Dorothy Roderaaker who.haja't as yet made up her mind whether she wants to stay in Grafton or move to Rock Falls. NINTH GRADE Early in the month of September of the year of 194.5, ten students entered the Grafton High School. What a sight they were. At the beginning of the row was Vivian Miller, a a red head wlth a violent temper. She left after the first semester. Seated next was Dorothy Diedrich who likes boys as well as she liked World History. That isn’t what a cer- tain seventh grade boy thought. Behind Dorothy sat the greatest of all orators, Marcella Krueger, who once said that she could read the English teachers mind. Maxine Nitcher, the next in line who’s mind wasn’t always at school. Boys you know. Jack Kuehn, who sat behind Maxine always had one ambition. That was to pass Algebra. It might have been a little easier for him if a certain seventh grade girl had co-operated by not keeping him from his work. V.illiam Nack, who didn’t always agree with the Vorld History teacher on what the book said, was always very interested in sports. In the first seat of the second freshman row sat Keith Bork who had all the brains but never used them at the right time. Behind Keith sat Shirley May, who waited patiently every morning for Keith to arrive from three to twenty minutes late. Third in row was Mary Lifka whose favorite subject v.as Vorld History and her favorite pass time was helping with the chores each morning and night. Last but not least, at the end of the row sat Lowell ”01e” Schultz, who day after day always had his lessons done. Initation Party September twenty-eight, a chilly but wonderful autumn day was a day for which the other class men had waited for a long time. It was the one day in the year when the upper class men, feeling their superiority, knew they could dictate to them. The initutes were striking in their colorful garb. The girls were to wear high heeled shoes, rockford socks held up by mens garters, overalls rolled up to the xJiees and a flannel shirt. They were to h:ve their hair piled high upon their heads. The boys were to wear two kinds of socks and shoes, girls shorts and shirts put on back- wards. All were to wear hair ribbons. The freshmen were to respect the other classes by bowing to the seniors, saluting the Juniors, and saying Yes Sir” and Yes Madam” to the sophomores. The day was soon one of the past, and all waited for the evening which was taken up by games and stunts. At the close of the evening after the lunch, the freshmen were expected to wash the dishes and clean up before they would become full pledged High School Students.

FALL BASEBALL SEASON Grafton 9 Carpenter 4 n 7 Plymouth 11 n 11 Carpenter 6 n 1 Kensett 2 « 6 Plymouth 3 n 6 Kensett 4 Total 60 Total 30 We had a .667 percentage last fall in our baseball which isn’t so bad. We started out the season with a decisive win over Carpenter by a score of 9 to 4. The next game was the County Tournament which was held at Fertile. We dropped out in the first round but the Ply- mouth players were getting plenty worried for towards the end of the game we found our batting eye. We pushed across four runs in the last inning which didn’t prove to be enough for we were beaten 11 to 7. We avenged this defeat though for we played them once more and won by a score of 6 to 3. We split games with Kensett, winning one and losing one. The mound chores were carried by Dale Huebner, who did an excellent job. The catching duties were divided between 7 agner and Lifka. First base was ably covered by Hackb rt. At second base we found 0. Walk, who did an excellent job in covering the base. At third was powerful Russel Schultz who did a splendid job in covering the hot spot. Shortstop found Jack Bork, the speed merchant, roaming back and forth in making the outs. The fielding was well done by the following: Elmer Schultz in center, Macken in left, and Flo in right. Coaching duties were ably managed by Harold Boettcher. BASKET BALL Pretty fairl That was how the boys basketball team turned out this year, winning 14 and losing 14« The team was lead in scoring by forward Dale Huebner with 298 points. He was followed by center Roger Hackbart with 245 points. Next in line came forward Elmer Schultz with 103 points. Then came the two guards, James W’agner and James Macken with 28 points and 64 points respectively. Able substitutes were found in Orland Walk, Jack Bork, Richard Navratil, Mario Flo, Keith Bork, and Glenn Schultz. The manager was Donald Dalluge, and the assistant was Lowell Schultz. The scoring wasn’t so high, but the defense the team put up was quite effective for the games were all quite close. The season began with the jamboree at Fertile in which we won the first games by defeating Hanlontown 17 to 11. In the next game of the jamboree we were defeated by Joice 23 to 7. That was the start of the season for us. After this we went out and broke about even, winning half and losing half. In the County Tournament we defeated Manly by a score of 22 to 18. Then we were defeated by Fertile in the second round by a score of 31 to 19. In the Sectional Tournament we lost to Little Cedar by a close decision on a freak basket which made the score 33 to 31 During the basketball season the coaching was divided between George Hardy, and Kenneth Tannatt. Under the direction of these two we obtained a fairly successful year.
