Senior Oa$5 Wislorq Only three of the original six first graders have re- mained In Grafton to complete all twelve years of education. Many have been In and out of our class since that first year but as we reach the ninth grade we found eleven pupils. That year Paul Qalluge left here to continue his schooling at Rlcevllle. Orland Bartz found the country air to be more suitable than the atmosphere of the classroom. We continued our class with ten until our Junior year when Marcus Dobel Joined us. Both Marcus Bud and Marilyn Hannaman deserted us at the end of the Junior year to leave a graduating class of nine. To describe each member of this class we shall present them to you as they have sat In their respective places. Lois Kuntz occupied the front seat. She has really en- joyed her last year of school, and though she did not parti- cipate In any sports, she worked hard at her subjects. The only change In the class of '52' was that of the name of a student. She left school for two weeks to get mar- ried to a lucky soldier. So now the former Betty Bartz grad- uates with us as Mrs. Edwin Jordan. Marlene Dailey, the next In the row, has spent her years in high school well. She has played basketball as guard for five years, likes all sports, has a good brain and has proved It by her grades. She has great hopes for a nursing career and we all know she'll make a wonderful nurse. Kathryn Trettln has amazed everyone by the way she came to us In the freshmen year without any experience In basket- ball and worked herself up to be a wonderful guard, helping us win many games. She likes bookkeeping and will probably keep this In mind when she chooses her vocation. Behind Kathryn we find Earl Backhaus, the all American sportsman. He will miss the basketball games, but his life at home on the farm probably will occupy his time. Lizzie will also be helping him. Following Earl Is Tom Wagner, who has his eyes focused on the medical world. Tom has many Interests. He can't decide which one for his life work, Delores Huebner, whose favorite class was Physiology has been pretty hard to talk with. Everytlme we mentioned food she Insisted on telling about the digestive system, etc. By this example you can see she would like to be a nurse, op- erate on people and see what Is Inside of them. Dee also has played basketball for five years and says she will miss school very much because of this. Mary Ann Rademaker was the most promising bride-to-be of the whole class. She has played basketball for four years.
