SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In 1944 an inexperienced troup, ten to be exact, boarded “The Grafton Skyrocket . The flight started out smoothly under the guidance of Mr. Belken, Miss Knutson, and Mrs. Miller. The years following flew by as follows: Before the second lap of our jouney, we lost two of our passengers. Bernadine Harris and Ronald Baumann, who both boarded planes of a different name. Our pilot for this lap was Miss Christenson and co- pilot was Mrs. Casey but she parachuted out after the first half of the trip and Mr. Tannett replaced her. Mrs. Miller remained stewardess. The third year the same members boarded but we changed co-pilot. Mrs. Cota was now helping the pilot and Mr. Grant was also aboard to see that we didn’t get off out course. Ilene Kirchgatter bailed out and became the wife of a Grafton trucker. We regretted losing Joyce Nitcher (to matrimony) but welcomed Mari- lyn Rosenberg on our last and final lap. Steering our new jet plane was Mr. Plopper, assisted by Mrs. Cota, Miss Bixler, and Miss Johnson (coach). Let's review the tired but happy passengers as they leave “The Grafton Skyrocket . Gene Kuntz, better known as Gene-a, developed into a good athlete his last year. His only amibiton is to own his own car. {ohn Bork, who would rather be called Jack, enjoys sports so much that le claims he could do it all day without getting bored. I wonder'. He also enjoys staying at home! Hm. Mario Flo, is known as Marlie and in the summer is seen with his hair not over an inch long. He enjoys sports and “Life on the Farm’ . Marilyn Rosenberg, “Mary for short, is the glamour girl of the class and enjoys getting letters, especially if they are mailed from the West Coast. Dorothy Rademaker, who is the out-door type, said she has strong neck muscles. Wonder how she developed them? Couldn’t be from turning around all the time! Bonnie Mae Schultz, who wouldn't be hard to distinguish because she blushes so easily, but then, so does one of the seniors besides her. Bonnie is also the nervous type but who wouldn't be if they had to contend with the class of “48 ! Mary Ann Buechele, also goes by the name of “Mary , enjoys anything life brings which includes about everything. This brings us to the end of our passengers but we all want to say that we enjoyed our trip and hate to leave but want to wish all the luck in the world to the undergrads.
