Our engineer for the first year proved to be Mr. Manchester, the conductor, Mrs. Welchman, and the brakeman being Mrs. Miller. The second year, Mr. Belken became our engineer. Miss Knutson, the conductor, and Mrs. Miller the brakeman. That year we picked up a new passenger, Harold Belken, and one of the passengers, Darlene Huebner, switched from the Grafton Streamliner and went Rochester bound to finish her high school career. The third year of our journey we once more changed trainmen. Miss Christenson was our engineer, Mrs. Casey was the conductor, and Mr. Hardy, the switchman. The second lap Mr. Tannatt stepped on to take the place of the con- ductor and the switchman. Mrs. Miller remained as our brakeman. Before we finished the year, Marilyn Schmidt jumped off the train to become the wife of a farmer. The fourth and last lap we finished our journey with six very tired passen- gers. Again.our crew line changed, Miss Christenson continued engineering, Mrs. Cota stepped in to be our conductor, Mrs. Miller stayed on as brakeman. At the station we also picked up Mr. Grant as our switchman. Six stayed on the train and continued the journey. The first seat of our coach is occupied by Glenn Schultz, who is known as “Spoof.” He spends most of his time studying. His favorite subject is history. In the nekt seat we have Maxine Greiner. She is a very quiet sort of girl. She does not go out for any kind of sports. Ever since she moved up by Glenn there is a buzzing up there all the time. Her favorite pastime is reading. Richard Navratil, who occupies the third seat, is a tall six foot lad who hails from the country. He plays center position on the basketball team and also plays baseball. He is better known as Dick. Next is Or land Walk the smallest boy of our group. He is known for his mischievous ways. He also likes to tease Bonnie about Clarence. Marjorie White who sits behind Orland is one of those gals that can have a good time wherever she is or goes. Her favorite nickname is Margie. She lives on a farm and really enjoys getting on the bus at seven fifteen every morning. In the last seat we find Lois Krueger, she is the swiftest forward on the basketball team. One of her hobbies is giggling in history class. If it was not for one of the senior boys, Lois just would not come to school. I'll bet when you first started To read this you thought that it Was a poem. Isn’t it funny how people go on Reading anyway when they know they are being fooled? Monday Morning Blues Speak gently to me, teacher, It's so hard to concentrate When it’s the morning after the night before, And I stayed out way too late. But I’ll buckle down this week, teacher, Though I confess I can hardly wait, For a night before a morning after When I stay out way too late. ”1 know I’m not really much to look at,” admitted Elroy. “Oh, well,” Joyce said, “You’ll be at the garage most of the time.” “A modern girl doesn’t chase a man. But then a mousetrap doesn't chase a mouse, either.” SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY As we gaze into professor Ish Kabibble’s crystal ball we see the class of 1947 twenty years hence. The greatest share of the class have worked diligently and climbed the ladder of success. Glenn Schultz our industrious student, has a million dollar jewelry business in the heart of Bolan. He has a store that equals “Tiffany’s in elegance. His speciality is exquisitely cut blue diamonds. Maxine Greiner’s only ambition was to secure a husband. Despite many flirtations it was not until last year that she finally succeeded. The striving couple are farming near the county home. Looking again into our crystal ball we see, away out in Colorado, Richard Navratil on a tiny twenty acre ranch. His only desire when he was in high school was to hear the rattle of the saddle so we think he must be very happy. Looking more closely, near Richard, we see Orland Walk. Orland often dreamed of finding his fortune in a store, and of all things we find him selling salt in his own store in Salt Lake City. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY (Cont.) It has been Marjorie White’s wish to lure a husband. She is now living on a farm near Toeterville. It is quite a problem for her to try to get her thirteen children in a Model A coupe, when she goes to town to do her shopping. You might know what a time she has when they are all like their mother. Lois Krueger is last but not least. She speeded through school because she liked to hear the clatter of the city. She is now working in the National Tea Food Store selling men’s shoes in the ladies hosiery department. SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the members of the Senior Class of 1947, being in good health and of sane mind and memory, and about to leave our place as the superior class in Grafton High, do make public and decree this to be our last will and testament. To the Juniors: We leave all of our senior privileges and good times. To the Sophomores: We leave our intelligence and trials. To the Freshmen: We leave our troubles and heartaches. I, Glenn Schultz, will my drawing ability to Mario Flo, my ability to do my history to Gene Kuntz, and my long hair to Keith Bork. I, Maxine Greiner, will my loud voice to Marcella Krueger, my speed to Bonnie Schultz, and my ability to make good grades to my brother Ellsworth. I, Richard Navratil, will to Jack Kuehn my boots, my height to Jack Bork, and my willingness to work to Richard Kuehn. I, Or land Walk, will my Breir pipe to Gene Kuntz, my tough ability to Keith Bork, and my ability to talk back to teachers to Lowell Schultz. I, Marjorie White, will Mary Ann Buechele my ability to be teacher’s pet, my weight to Dorothy Rademaker, and my guarding power to Joyce Nitcher— “Can she use it? ’ I, Lois Krueger, will my ability of jumping out of windows to Uralee Walk, to be high point girl on the basketball team to Maxine Nitcher and to elude men to Elaine Bublitz. Roses are rea Vio-lets are blue I copied your answer And I flunked too. Mary, Mary, quite contrary How does your homework go? With radio singing and telephone ringing No wonder your grades are so low. Maxine Greiner had a little lamp She filled it with benzine She went to light her little lamp And hasn’t since benzine.

JUNIORS Mary Ann Buechele Vice-President Ilene Klrehgatter Junior Class History ‘Twas September the year 1944 Time again to open the school door For ten green freshmen to enter in Four years of studious work to begin. But two left us before our sophomore year drew nigh And another left us before our junior year passed by Namely, Ilene Kirchgatter, who discontinued school life To become a Grafton trucker’s wife. I’ll introduce those remaining One by one There are only seven So I’ll soon be done. First, Gene Kuntz, a big husky farm lad Who is always happy and never sad We know this when we hear him sing His songs and yodeling, gladness doth bring. Next we have a fellow by the name of Jack Bork Hunting and fishing to him are a great sport He’s not so tall, but Oh, the actionII To win an argument is his greatest satisfaction. Mario Flo, better known as Mully” He is lean and lanky and never sulky He belongs to 4H and has plenty to do Still he finds time to go to Bolan too. Joyce Nitcher, who in spare time in Walk’s Store is employed A past time which we all thought she enjoyed Along came a boy her heart his way did sway So now we think she’ll marry a mechanic someday. Bonnie Mae Schultz, on our list we have next Who is very disinterested in the opposite sex And for her blushing she is known And thoroughly enjoys to stay at home. Mary Ann Buechele, the smallest of the class But for being active she’s hard to surpass She plays the piano and saxaphone too And likes Plymouth cars especially if new. Dorothy Rademaker, who now we will meet To her, driving a tractor makes life complete Course there are other talents she has got For she believes in keeping Grafton-Manly line RED hot. FRESHMEN Elaine Bub lit SOPHOMORES Sigrid Becker Jack Kuehn Maxine Nitcher Mary Lifka Lowell Schultz Shirley May Kieth Bork Marcella Krueger Wm. Nack Dorothy Diedrich Sophomore History As we look upon the sophomore class of 1947, we see nine, bright, happy and intelligent faces beaming at us. Heading the list we see Mary Lifka, a maiden from the country. She came from the country school in the fall of 1945 to join our class. She is interes- ted mostly in home economics and boys. Behind her sits that handsome mechanically minded lad, Lowell (Ole) Schultz. He came from the country school in 1939 to join us in our third year of school. He is a fair athlete and was able to hold down a forward position on the boys basketball quintet. He seems to be most interested in the occupant of the seat in front of him. Occupying the seat in back of him is another country girl, Dorothy Diedrich. She also majors in home economics, and is a very good cook. She joined our class when we were freshmen. Directly behind her sits that ambitious fellow, Keith Bork. He has been with the class all but one year, the first one. He also was able to hold a position on the basketball squad, as a quard. He likes to work best of all, though sleep plays an ir i. ortant part in his daily schedule. The bashful brunette behind him is Shirley May. She hails from the country too, so she joined our class in the freshman year. Besides doing very well in her studies, she was a very able substitute for the girls basketball team. As she is very bashful, she has no boys in her life. (Maybe). Next in line is Marcella Krueger, a tall lean girl from the country. Although from the country she has been with the class from the beginning. She was able to maintain a quard spot on the girls basketball team, and had a very fine record. She wishes she could find out why Mrs. Miller keeps kicking her out of class, as she is very quiet. Maxine Nitcher comes next. She came fromOtranto in 1941 to join us in our fifth year. She is very interested in athletics and had a very successful season as a forward on the girls basketball team. She seems also to be interes- ted in a certain mechanically minded lad. In the next seat we see, reposing peacefully, a dark, handsome lad, John (Jack) Kuehn. He has been part of our class since the first grade. Being a very good athlete, he was a forward on the basketball team and he also pitched and played third base on our baseball team. He seems to be modestly interested in the occupant of the desk ahead of him. Just a passing whim, undoubtedly. Last and least we see that handsome bit of intelligence, William E. Nack, Esq., the boy noted most likely to succeed. We, of the Sophomore class have been honored with his presence since we were organized. He seems to put most of his time and talents into a job as accountant for a certain down-town auto company. His hobby is collecting everything from coins to buggy wheels to caterpillars. Vivian Miller was also with us for a shojt time. She left us in the middle of the freshman year to go to a larger school in Mason City. She is reported to be doing very well there. Freshman History The Freshman Class of '47 is a group of very intelligent students. So we think any way! As we look at them we observe Mary Ann Navratil the first in the row. She joined the class a year ago. She is a forward on the basketball team and hopes to be a “forward” in a certain freshman boys mind. Next we see Carl Love who ’seems to be quite a football fan. This is his first year with the class. His interests are centered on a certain eighth grade girl. She seems to think he isn’t so bad either. As we look on down the line we see Elaine Bublitz. We are happy to have her as the poet in the class. She seems very skilled as it appears fromsome of her notes to the opposite sex. Elaine has been with us a couple of years and we hope she will stay on. Look who is next, Max Love? This is his first year with the class too. His main ambition is to draw although he always borrows his erasers and pencils from the girls. How about that, Max? Next in line is Uralee Walk, who wants to sew for a cereer. She joined the class this year and seems to have been enjoying it quite a bit. It certainly seems strange how she always sits by B. N. in literature and science class, I thought she wanted to be a career girl! Following Uralee is Sigrid Becker, who sits opposite Marcella Krueger. They often have a friendly chat. She has been with the class the longest of any of the present members. Her eyes seem to be moving to the left side of her head. Jack Kuehn, you know! Last, but not least, is Bonnie Bartz, who is also a new member of the class. She hopes to go to college so she can teach algebra. She is very interested in it. Is not that right, Bonnie? So ends our group of freshmen. L hope that they will all be back for the sophomore year of high school.

The girls played twenty games, of this number thirteen games were won. The main team consisted of: Lois Krueger, forward; Maxine Nitcher, forward; Mary Ann Buechele, forward; Marjorie White, guard; Marcella Krueger, guard; Joyce Nitcher, guard; who dropped out after the sectional tour- nament, Dorothy Rademaker, guard. The substitutes consisted of: Harriet Xheiarians, forward; Delores Huebner, forward; Mary Ann Navratil, toward; Elaine Bublitz, forward and guard; Bonnie Schultz, guard and Shirley May, guard. The first game of the county tournament with Hanlontown as opponents was won by 15 points. Winning this game took them into the finals against Kensett. This proved to be a close and exciting game. It finally ended with Kensett winning by one point, 30 to 29. Due to good sportsmanship, the girls took it very nicely taking home the runner-up trophy. The sectional tournament was next on the schedule. Due to very stormy weather it was postponed for one week. Grafton drew a bye the first night then played Elma I. C. defeating them 55 to 9 the second night. Chester the next opponent, was also downed 39 to 19. The final game with Riceville was won by the Grafton girls with a score of 37 to 29. •The happy group of girls then took a jump to the district tournament at Sheffield. Grafton this time drew Meservey and played a tough game. The game started with a bang but the girls lost control of their steadiness in handling the ball and were defeated 35 to 30. This brought them to the consolation round with Rock Falls. They showed their greatest ability, but the game ended Grafton being defeated by the powerful Rock Falls girls by a score of 50 to 48.

BOYS BASKETBALL SEASON The boys started the basketball season with the jamboree playing very well considering the handicap of having the entire main team of 1946 graduate. They started the regular season by winning over Carpenter 33 to 22. They continued the season with their spirits high, despite the fact that they lost the remainder of the season's scheduled games. They showed their greatest competi- tion toward the latter part of the season, especially in the last game played with Plymouth. JackBork, captain of the team, leads the season’s scoring with 110 points. Next in line is Richard Navratil with 80 points. Orland Walk succeed- ed Richard with 55 points. Lowell Schultz having 48 points was followed very closely by Keith Bork with 46 points. Jack Kuehn was next in line with 24 points. The team was ably assisted by Mario Flo, with 7 points, and Glenn Schultz with 5 points.

Members were changed about, position to position to locate the best possible individual player for the team play. Defensively we were weak at critical times. Offensively our hits were scattered. Positions are as follows: Or land Walk No. 6 Shortstop Richard Navratil No. 2 Catcher Glenn Schultz No. 7 Center Field No. 9 Right Field Mario Flo No. 8 Left Field Jack Bork No. 1 Pitcher Jack Kuehn No. 3 First Base No. 5 Third Base Keith Bork No. 5 Third Base No. 7 Center Field Carl Love No. 4 Second Base Max Love No. 9 Right Field Lowell Schultz No. 2 Catcher No. 3 First Base Gene Kuntz No. 3 First Base Grafton 3 Carpenter 7 Grafton 13 Rock Falls 11 Grafton 11 Carpenter 19 Grafton 6 Fertile 12 SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT Grafton 4 Hanlontown 10 The coming of spring brings with it thfe season of baseball. We as a group of individuals cannot see as many games played as desired. A play is a play, an out is an out, and a fly and a throw spells a win or a defeat for either team. But our team is one of quality in spirit, desire, and the love of the game and sport. We have hopes for the best. The school will enter the Sectional Baseball Tournament and plan to play several other games. CARNIVAL. The Grafton School Carnival was held on Friday evening, November 8, 1946. A large crowd attended. Short plays were given by the first to the ninth grades inclusive. Some of these included “School days,’’ “Wedding Way Back, “Such Is Life,” “Family Album,” “Delicatessen Shop,” “Car Trouble,” and “Arithmetic by Professor Rasmus.” Joyce Nitcher was chosen to reign as the 1946-47 Carnival Queen and was crowned the latter part of the evening. The runners-up in the contest were Maxine Nitcher and Mary Ann Navratil, Who served the queen as her attendants. Darlene Wahl was flower girl and Roger Bartz crown bearer. Maxine Nitcher had the honor of crowning the queen. Another interesting contest was held for children under school age. The winner and runner-up were Dennis Boettcher and Sharen Bartz. The carnival proved successful, as over $500 was cleared. The pro- ceeds were used for buying musical instruments and new baseball suits. Freshman: “Please Mama, let me go out tonight.” Sophomore: “May I go out tonight? The show is over at ten. Junior: “I’m going out tonight Dad,” Senior: “Good night, folks. I’ll bring in the milk.
