Q jr, aa U an . . . CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1931, a train of the Hamtramck Public School line puffed into the station at the suburban city of Hamtramck. About a thousand stu- dents boarded the train. There were some seriously bent on acquiring know- ledge, others had musical talents, still others were destined to be popular ath- letes and orators. There were tall and short students, broad and thin students -all equal on that train-all with the same purpose imbedded in mind. All aboard 1 shouted the school principal, E. M. Conklin, and the train pulled out of the station. flt must be said at this point that since then we have never heard Mr. Conklin shout.J It took but a short time for the pas- sengers to become acquainted with their new surroundings and the many un- familiar faces. Some of the students were prepared for study at the outset of the journey and the number was increased as time passed. The recreation car became a favorite haunt of Al Sosnowski, Marion Thompson and Stanley Si- kora, in particular. By this time, the passengers began to display marked tendencies in cer- tain lines. Mitchell Chojnowski strived to become a business man. Edwin Pezda's ideal involved athletics. Sabina Kisielewski aspired to become a school teacher. Ignatius Pupka, in spite of unfavorable indications, vowed to place his name among the immortal lawyers of the country. Casimir Klewicki became popularly known as Casey and felt a keen urge to displace his brother from the sport spotlight. Then, without warning, came the frightful bank crisis in Michigan. Stan- ley Sikora lost his dime bank and Harry Demesko has only recently recovered from the shock of losing the tremendous amount of eighty cents! The locomo- tive puffed on, however, tugging its valuable cargo. It passsed through a ten- below-zero wave in the February of 1933 and the following month Theodore Matey walked off with the school honors in declamation. At Junior Class Junction, a few more students departed, but this number was considerably less than before. With half of the important trip completed, the passengers prepared themselves for a busy social season. Efforts at class organization found Edwin Pezda president and Mr. Alex. Mentlikowski sponsor. Plans for the first social function were drawn up and on November 18, 1933, a most enjoyable and successful J-Hop was held. Rosalie Redlin was granted a stop-over permit to relate her Michigan Tuberculosis Society essay over WMBC to win third place in the state. -SQ.
