SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In 1943 Grafton High School’s Train of Education left the depot and started down the tracks with eight new freshmen aboard. 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.
