They began by touring the United States and Landed on a small Island, which bears the name of Cape Breton Island north of Nova Scotia, where the two raving beauties acquired a swanky summer resort. They have been doing a real Job of entertaining eligible bachelors. JUNE 1965 . Glancing further into the future Huebner the former Elaine Bublitz, out Montana, where she has settled down Pure-Bred horses. She is an excellent we find Mrs. Kermit on the vast ranges of to a life of raising performer on a horse, Csun back dresses you of course she prefers riding bareback, knowi. She also spends much of her time with her family. We see her one dream came true Cshe spoke of it often in High-Schooli. She has three adorable youngsters, which keeps her time occupied. We find our charming adorable Mary Ann Nevratil buyer for Younkers of New York in the lingerie department. She spends very little time in New York as she is always looking for new fads and fashions in thin materials and pretty colors. Here's a tip from her when you are on your honeymoon please take light pinks and blues, but if you go to the mountains you had better take a pair of long, red flannel underwear. As the nights are might cold up nin dem dose hills'. As far as her love life she is still on the loose, but has quite honorable prospect, maybe there is a reason for always to be giving speeches on the radio, perhaps an announcer has caught her eye. I'm sure we will find out with in a few months how close we are to being right on the beam. Q 4 4 + 4 Q Q 4 i A young boy had been going to school about a week. One morning he announced, 'I'm tired of school, dadg I think I'll Stop.W 'But why don't you like school?0 asked the amazed father. W0h, it's all right,' conceded the boy, 'but it breaks up your day so.n 'I'm sorry to hear that your mother's il1,' said the sympa- thetic teacher to one of her small pupils. 'Is she sick a-bed?H Wwell, not exactly,' said the child. 'So far she's just sick a-sofa.' 4 EE I ..

Keith progressed rapidly as he took a little jump from first grade to third. Leaving two students remaining. In the year 1959 Donald Bruesewitz entered our grade while Lois Schultz left for Waverly, making it still two. These two didn't remain long as in the fifth grade Namio left us, leaving only one, that being Donald Bruesewitz. he struggled along for one semester and ln the sixth year Sigrid ecker entered this school from yuttenburg. n the second semester of the seventh year Elaine Bublitz entered, making the class total of three Mary Ann Navratil entered this school in the eight grade, switching from a country school. When these four reached eighth grade they graduated into High School, becoming Freshman. Four other students enrolled as Freshmen and they are as follows: Uralee Walk, Bonnie Bartz, Max Love and Carl Love making the class increase to eight. We all dreaded to here the word initiation day 'mentioned, but it wasn't at all bad. It seemed quite fun after it was over. The girls had to wear overalls with sacks for shirts. Our hair on one side was to be pinned up in pin curls while the other had to be composed of tiny braids with ribbons on each one. We were to wear high heeled shoes which were very difficult to walk in but now it would be different as we are more experienced in walking in diem. It certainly was a thrilling day for the Freshman. In the second semester of the Sophomore year lax and Carl Love moved away and entered High School in Ventura, leaving five lonely girls. Bonnie Bartz left shortly after to become a house wife. Our class certainly diminished by the beginning of the Junior Hear as Sigrid Becker entered High School in Waterloo and ralee Walk entered in Manly. So now there are only two seniors remaining to graduate but they sure are a happy-go-lucky pair. Elaine Bublitz, whose main ambition is to enter in a home cooking school and live on a farm after she graduates. Mary Ann Navratil's ambition is to become a secretary and type letters sitting on her boss's lap. Tv f f .f f-r7-rv f ,Y r v ,f fr f Y.'7'Y ' .-' ,f Y fi' .1',L' 'Y P'fIfT'L.ZQfl-pal...

Our first happy face is that of Phyllis Trettin, the 'shy' one of the class. Phyllis likes basketball, anyway when the games are at Manly---did I say shy?TT Next we have Ramona Nach, better known as 'Sparky'. She is ite 'lechanioal Hinded , anyway when the subject is Axe1s?T?uHamona holds down a forward position on the basket- ball team and holds it well!!! Back of Ramona we find lardell lay---doing what? What else but thinking of 'Toots1e'?T7 Yessirf if that rink d1d'nt do anything else it brought fortune to Mardell. She plays guard on the basketball team and is always there when needed. Now we skip a few seats and whom do we find but Phyllis Boeset. Everybody envies Phyllis for her ability to go with 'The Three Sons . Keep it up Boeset---you might be the vocalist someday!!! Phil is vice-president of our class and we eould'nt have gotten far without her. ' In the next seat we find Harriet fWoo2Woo!l Uhristalns. Next to school, boys are her main interest: right Harriet? Lets all hope that she stays on at Grafton High for the coming year and does not transfer to 'Columbia Military Academy for Boys'. Across the aisle we find Lucille Schultz, better known as 'Lucy'. She seems to like the idea of taking care of kids---We haven't found out if 1t's practice, fun, or the visitors that go with the job!!! Lucy is known for her ability to have blond hair one day and green the next. Last but not least Cby fsr!!!5 me behold Dick Kuehn! The Dick Kuehn!

Presenting than to you, we have first: Betty Bartz, in school she seems so quit and shy, but I wonder if she reallu is. She spends quite a bit of her time over at Ebmer and Bonnies's. Could it be that she wanted to see someone next door? Lois Kuntz, one of Betty's companions, enjoys school so much, that she hardly has time to think of anything else. Except when she gets a letter from Ohio, she is entirely set on further education. Dale Trettin is one of the three boys we have in our class. Nb one knows just which hobby likes best, but I think he has quite a few. Kathryn Trettin, the All-American basketball guard is next on our list. She had a little accident with her foot during the basketball season, but was able to play the last few games, doing very well. Marilyn Hannaman sits behind Kathryn. They spend alot of time together. Marilyn spends alot of time with some- one else too. It used to be a Nchevyn, but row its going to be a Studebaker, isn't it Marilyn? Earl Backhaus, a great basketball player, is a lover of sports. Dale and HB get along fine, Especially when they are both thinking of baseball. Marlene Dailey is another one of our very good basket- ball guards. Her best subject is World History. Her best hobby is skating. If we asked her which of the two she liked best, I think she would say skating. Wouldn't you Marlene? 1 ' Tom wagner has his heart set on the opening of roller- skating season. That see s to be one of his hobbies. The others are sports and-L--well, he'll have another one in a couple of years if not sooner! Mary Ann Rademaker, better known as WMsry,W as much as she hates it, is usally a jolly person. She gets in a quite a few arguments but they usally end up in a laughing spell. Last of all is Delores Huebner a forward on the basket- ball team. She had the misfortune to break her foot inthe first game, but got to play in the last few games. Sh also gets a few laughing spells. Could they be catching? Getting caught talking to a certain junior boy in the assembly is her favorite hobby. .N - :XR X K ix fm X, . WN. PN 'fx siwsa .:g. ,-K Rxx 1 ' Q - , L -fag' 7 f L... g A f 2 A Fg?SiS5'M Sk m5?. Ki.

It increased with five new members coming from the country. This gave us a class of thirteen members. In about two weeks two students decided they would enjoy farming better so dropped out leav- ing our class a total of eleven. Later Cordelia Seegars joined our freshman class. After a short time Dorothy White left for Colorado but is now back with us. First in line we find Dorothy White, one of our new members.She was anxious for the roller skating rink to open. laybe she is thinking of the Saint Ansgar gang. How about it Dorothy? Second in line is Donald Boeset usually called Hunts. He is interested in a seventh grade girl. Next is Gene Wilde, another new comer, the girl teaser of our class. He has a great interest in riding the bus, of course just to sit by a few girls. Fourth is Darlene Berding, also a new classmate. She likes very much to keep a conversation going. Fifth in line is Jack Schotanus, better known as nBash- ful Jackn, but yet a very handsome lad. After Jack we find Doris Wilde she is one of the shiest girls in the freshman class. She has an interest in basket- ba . Seventh in line comes Doris Schultz. Doris likes very much to sit on the floor during basketball practice and give everyone a big smileg she's a very good guard. Well look who's next, Rose Marie Navratil the Wwhizzu of the class. Her main ambition is to become a nHot Shot Forwardn on the basketball team. How about it Rosie? After Rosie comes Robert wack better known as 'Emiln. The girls all go for the teasing he does, nKeep it up Bob.n Next in line comes Jack Dailey better known as npeten. He is our second Frankie Sinatra, because of his fine voice quality. After Jack comes Eugene Bartz, better known as uHerman.' He is interested in a certain eight grade girl. CH1 Lizzyl Last but not least is Cordelia Seegers who is interested very much in boys, plus getting fan mail from her home town. Initiation was a thrilling day for all we Freshman. All day we were dressed very odd, with our faces painted everyway possible. At night we had a party at the school house which brought some very embarrassing moments, especially when we had to parade through the Roller Skating Rink and have people watch us. The girls had to either dress in curtains or gunny sacks, wearing a high heeled shoe on one foot and a flat heel on the other. Dorothy and Rose larie had an all day Job, as wherever they went Dorothy would draw a circle on the floor around her feet and Rose Marie had to go behind with a tooth brush and clean it up. Some of the other pupils carried their books in pails and others in different ways, so we were all kept very busy. ' The boys were dressed in many different kinds of clothes. Some were dressed as women, and some wore clothes representing characters in the funny paper, while the others dressed as bums. Speeches were given by each member of the class after dinner. A few hard topics were selected but seemed quite interesting even if they didn't have much to say about them. Cordelia Seegers who came after Initiation day missed all our fun. This ends our Freshmen History, we hope we'll be together again next year. ACTIVITIES Senior 'Qs iuiui 55, lilf' Mn iiiii R ff ll vs L2 fl, at i A - Junior Class Play Since the senior class this year is too small in numbers to be able to present a play, all of the juniors participated., and one sophomore. The play was put on in a' period of three weeks. 'Which One Shall He Marr-y', is a three act comedy with plenty of action and humor. Dick was to inherit two million dollars from his grandfather if he selected the right girl from the Randolph family as his wife. The mother and the four 'talented' Rirls made a vigorous effort to interest him, but it was the youngest, plain Mary Jane, who had been his p:randfather's favorite, and who became D1ok's choice.

This progress largely a result of the very fine work done by Mothers. This hard-working group headed by Hrs. went on an all-out campaign to raise funds for the of uniforms. Starting the year with dollars, the Band Mothers sponsored events, served dinners, lunches, held donations from townspeople and friends aged to raise a total of some thirteen progress has been the Band Steiger, purchase roughly five hundred a number of musical bake sales, solicited of the band and man- hundred dollars with which they have attained a goal long dreamed of. The uniforms in keeping with school tradition, are of royal blue with white trim, and are a great addition to the appearance of the band. The members of the band. The members of the band, and the director, Hr. Latham have endeavored, to support the Band Mothers in these efforts by holding regular rehearsals twice weekly. The results of these rehearsals were displayed at school functions such as basketball games, the annual carnival, the school pot-luck dinner and get-acguainted party, the Christ- mas program, and a concer he d March and repeated in Carpenter March 27. Plans for another such concert are underway, this time with the Kensett, band. We have increased our library with a considerable amount of music including two sets of march books, some modern popular tunes, several arrangements appropriate to Christmas and similar occassions. Until this year, the band had been accustomed to playing little else than tunes coming under the heading of marches, but we have branched out, so to speak, and are now capable of playing not only marches, but also a variety of other types of music. As a result, we are able to offer musical entertainment which will be interest- ing to a much greater percentage of the public. In the department of instrumentation also, we have made some progress, having added a baritone, two basses, another snare drum, and a pair of cymbals to the band. By the addi- tion of these and other instruments and players to the band we have brought the total membership of the band to twenty- six. This is somewhat short of the goal set in the mind of the director, but nevertheless represents a large step in the right direction. We have suffered a few minor setbacks when some players decided to drop out of the band but recovery from these slight difficulties has been rapid and gratifying. Rose Marie Navratll will be the majorette for the band at the music festival in Mason City on June 13. Band members have elected Mary Ann Navratil as their queen, and she will be honored at the music festival. A furture addition to the band takes the form of several baton twiders who will march in the parade with the band. They have been preparing for the music festival in a special baton twirling class coached by Miss Gogg. The band will also take part in a Memorial Day ceremony which is held here each year. It is the purpose of the Band Mothers and the players to continue with the work which has progressed so well this year, and to endeavor to do more each year, and to make the Grafton School Band an organization truly worthy of respect and are and its friends. admiration. The players, Band Mothers, and lr. Latham all sincerely grateful for the support, both financial otherwise, which has been given the band by so many of TALENT SHOW As we neared the end of the school year, a special program was held at the school. This program took the form of a talent show and amateur contest. A great share of the credit for the overwhelming success of this event goesto a group of entertainers composed of Dale Huebner, Bud Huebner, Glen Kronemen, Kermit Huebner, and Harold Boetcher who call themselves the 'Rhythm Five.' Harold also servedes master of cermonies. Among the participants were a number of children and adults from Grafton and surrounding area, plus several from other nearby communities. Prizes were awarded to those who were considered the best performers in the contest portion of in entertainment. The judges were Mrs. RoyBueohele, ehir. Ludwig Wangberg, and hir. Maynard Odden. De- cisions were made on the basis of perform- ance, appearance and audience appeal. The prizes awarded in the junior division were to the following contestantsg Gene Ur- batsch, lstg Clerice Brown, Bndg Sharon lilde, Srd. In the senior division lst grize went to Elizabeth Steiger, and,2nd prize went to Kathryn Trettin. of X The program was put on ff Q by the band mothers for the X e of purchasing band XX TOP: Nr.

There are twenty-odd girls in the -group, taken from eighth grade through the senior year of high school. aarly in the ear we acquired a smell quantity of new music, including YOne Alonep, lSome Enchanted sveningl, iThe san 1 Level, lB1ess this nousei, and several others. An ensemble of five girls, selected from the glee club, appeared between acts at the performance of the play Just sucky, presented by the Luther League. The girls sang old-fashioned Walk. Later in the season, at the Christmas program, the entire glee club appeared and sang a few selections which included lwhite Christmasl and R Yinter Wonderlandl. The glee club as a group was not entered in the state music contest but several soloists entered and returned from the contest tell-satisfied, having made an excellent showing, fThe soloists were Marlene Daily, Kathryn Trettin, and Dorothy white. Kathryn Trettin appeared this spring as a vocal soloist at the annual band concert presented by the Carpenter and Grafton bands, and sponsored by the Band Mothers clubs of the two communities. All in all, we have had a fairly satisfactory year, and have learned to appreciate music as a wonderful experience, and as e fine emotional outlet. Music is the natural expression of joy and happiness, so let's have more of it. ff Aw f ' ' 0... .MM . ..,...4.... L 4... .,.. ..A . :T , f i1-f v ' 'g 1 , ..,:.l. ,..:' , W ' '::L 1 ' -H- '?':.

We invited them over for a roller skating party at our rink in town. It turned out to be quite a cold night so we skated only until 9:50. At the schoolhouse we had lunch, which had been planned by the Juniors and Seniors. After the lunch we danced to some records. After that it was time to go home. I'm sure everyone had a good time.

The program was opened by the school Band, under the direction of Mr. Latham, playing several short Christmas selections. This was followed by two playlets presented by the kindergarten and first grade room, supervised by Mrs. Plopper. Next on the program a group of Christmas songs was sung by Miss Walter's second and third grade children. Another play, entitled 'The Jolly Cookymen', was presented by the fourth a fifth grades under the direction of Miss Gogg. The girls glee club of the high school sang two songs, Winterland and White Christmas. A dramatic monologue was presented by Marlene Dailey. The final of the evening was a play, written and presented by the sixth and seventh grade students, directed by Mr. Condon. Immediately following their play the entire sixth and seventh grade groups gathered on the stage to lead the audience in community singing of Christmas songs to top off an evening of fine entertainment. BAND CONCERT An event which we hope will become an annual affair we the Grafton-Carpenter Spring Band Concert. This program was presented in the latter part of March, under the sponsorship of the band mothers organizations of the two communities. The program included several selections by the massed bands, including a tribute to the armed forces, and 'The Chi1dren's Prayer' from Hansel a Gretel, among others. Miss Kathryn Trettin of Grafton sang 'He Shall Feed His llocks' from 'The Messiah'. The two bands then separated, each in its turn to present a series of waltzes, marches, and an overture. The Carpenter band presented also a wood- wind quartet. Mr. Clare Nelson a very fine aocordionist of Austin, Minnesota, lent variety to the program with his mod- ern and old-time selections on the accordion. The profits were added to tue band mothers fund for the purpose of buying band uniforms, which, incidentally, have been purchased and delivered adding a great deal to the appearance of our band. 1 , 3 . ,, . 1...-.,..,.... .... ....1 gf .,,lff.L'ILfL ' - Y .f ' ' 'ff' , .-N -vn.K .fv.i:. :gg-f L XVY. ,,,M-,,,, ,....,..,.,. ,, V 7 , , ., M':,,,,,,.,, ...gi.4.-.iL...1TTg.,..-.,..-L2Ig ' f ----+3-3-gg I.

Bedore the stands were opened a group of the high school Students directed by Nr. Condon presented a one-act play. There were also numbers by the band. Ile think our Carnival was a quite a success. we hope the same for next year even though Bingo may be ruled out. SCHOOL IICAIC The day has finally come, some axe probably glad and others may not feel the same way. Its been a wonderful year and we have all had many incidents we like no remember. Un Friday May 25th we had our picnic which is the last thing. We had an enonmous amount of food but it was consu ed in a hurry. Mrs. Steiger, the president of the band mothers, was in charge of the food for the picnic.

I find myself over s barrel for the correct words as did my students for the correct answer. I suppose it is evident to almost everyone espechlly the coach that our loss column bore than balanced our wins but to let 1 win and loss record alone be the judge and proof of what athletics c-rtributes to the student is for getting the prime importance of athletics, that of building e better person physically, intellectually and emotionally. I personally think winniny or losira a game or contest played in e true sportsms: like manner und to the persons utmost capabilities will meer more to that person later in life than ell other factors in athletics. l am especially proud of the swell cooperation of both the boys and girls basketball teams and am looking for beter things for both this coming year. To the senior girls, weUl miss you and thanks a million, here's hoping von make suc- cessful a place in your life from here on as you have in the minds of your fellow student, friends and teachers.

We won our first game play- ing Plymouth but we paid a heavy price for the victory. Our forward, Delores Huebner, broke her foot during the game. The team still kept on and won the next 6 games. We then played Orchard and lost by 3 points. Our next two games were victories played with Fertile and Kensett. While play- ing Kensett we had our second casualty whbn Kathryn Trettin our pivot guard, broke her foot and was unable to play the rest of the season. Our next seven games, were all defeats: but I might add that the girls played under a handicap during the tournaments. With two girls in casts, Harriet Christians pciked this time to develop a case of pneumonia and was unable to play. Although no trophies were won this year we hope to make up for it next year if luck is with us.

TBALL as 55 - BOY'S BASKETBALL The 1349-50 basketball season of Grafton High School was not very prosperous at least not for the boys. In fact, we were the only team in our conference who held the title of HUndefeated Champs of the Losing Streak for '49- '50n. We were hindczed by having only four letternen back from last year. The rest of the squad were all Freshmen, most of whom never played on a basketball court in a game before. Under the supervision of coach Max Carter, we advanced a little in basketball ability but not enough to cope with the other teams. Our offensive average to that of our ovponents wrs not very high---22.6 to 42.7---a little better than half of what they got. Our hopes, however, are set on next year's season. It remains to be seen what we will do with them. Those that participated on the '49-'50 basketball team are as follows: Dick Kuehn Earl Backhaus Dale Trettin Thomas Wagner Jack Daily Jack Shotanus Donald Boeset Gene Wilde Gene Bartz Robert Neck Manager was ----- George Nitcher Ka very fine one took TN!

An informal banquet was held at the Hotel Eadmar in Mason City, May 9th, with 30 people present. Our meal was as follows! Fruit Cocktail Swiss Steak Potatoes Tossed Salad Rolls...........Butter Pie Coffee Milk After the banquet one group went to a basketball game and others took in a movie. ....'pEP-- 5 'We5e.07e.v-Qc.

We started out the season by issuing uniforms Cnaturallyb. Next on the schedule was playing Rockfalls which turned out to be really a lolly. The heat wes poored on. The final results---20-O---C their favor . a The reason we did not have many games was that we were willing but rot ready. Here, as in besketball, inexperience was the big handicap. Tho' paced by our ace hurlers, Backhaus and Kuehn, we didn't have exactly the right technique. If we would have had nine diffexent players who knew how to play, I think we really could have gone to town. Those who played on the baseball team are the same as those who played on the basketball team.

History and Civics with Mr. Carter, Reading and epellln with lr. Plc per. Arithmetic with Mrs. Cote, Uuslc eng English with Br. Latham. The eighth grade ls as follows! Shirley Krueger is the busybody of the class and has quigetg time keeping up with Gene. Is it because of that rab Next is Glo Ann Hiller, the only city sllcker of the class. She has quite a time with certain 9th grade boys!! fHow are you coming, Clipfl Here's Elizabeth Ste1ger.----the flirt of the class who takes quite an interest in a certain Sophomore boy and also keeps a conversation with a boy sittin: across from her. Next is Euuene Walk who thinks he can cook but one dey he came to school with e burned hand. Better luck next time, Gene. Then comes Le Vern Corncran the shorty of the class but he seems 'tc like the tall ones. He likes to raise white rabbits too. I wonder why? Here's Wayne Braun the farmer of the class. He's usually very quiet but someday he'l1 find that 7th grade girl waiting. Last of all is Donald Krueger, the pest of the classg but still the girls sigh as he goes by, even the 7th grade girls ere interested. we left our study a few days tc help with the carnival. Near the end of the journey we took e halt dey off and had a picnic at Albert Lea with Hr. Latham. We ended our Journey lay 25th by graduating from eizhth grade and re- ceiving our diplomas. . ,..,....,.-.,W..v.e-,.

One first grader and two kindergarten pupils moved away in March. Birthday parties and special day parties have been the high-lights of the year. At Christmas time the kindergarten pupils gave a uMother Gooseu Christmas play. The first grade gave a play entitled 'Ten Minutes 'till Chr1stmas'. Epidemics of flu, chicken pox, and other sickness slowed up the year's work but the minimum of required work has been completed. The kindergarten completed the reading and number readiness requirements the first semester and read four pre- primers and a reading work book, the second semester. The 'A' class read 5 pre-primers. The first grade has read three primers including one health primer and one social science primer, and two first 'readers with work books. Many of the mothers visited during the year. The suc- cess of the year has been due, in part, to the fine co- operation of the parents. SECOND AND THIRD GRADES In October a Joint Halloween Party was held with Miss Goggs Fourth and Fifth grade. At Christmas there was the annual tree that was trimmml Names were also drawn with the exchange of gifts. Our Valentine Party was held on February 15 instead of the 14 because of a bad storm.
