YW' ,hvml Class History I. HE LARGEST class to graduate from the Menomonee Falls High School gf entered in the year 1920, with an enrollment of thirty ambitious and talented members. im T On the morning of September 8, 1920, when the clang of the nine o'clock bell was heard, an awe-stricken group of poor little freshmen were seen standing at the door of the Colonial Hall, wondering what the future four years held in store for them. This frightened group was patiently waiting for some member to pick up sufficient courage to lead the crowd into the building: but sad to say, no one came, and the poor Freshmen were beginning to despair, when up piped a supposed-to-be modest little, Veronica Held, of course, Aw, come on, maybe it ain't so bad after all. The most that they can do is to kill us. With her skillful leadership the Freshmen shyly entered the unknown with twenty-six strong, or, more truth'fully, twenty-six weak, judging by their manner, they crept up the stairs, making hardly a sound. They entered the Assembly. The hum and confusion suddenly ceased, and all the upper classmen gazed down on them: It was then that the heart of every Freshman dropped down, down, down, until it must have settled somewhere between the sole of his shoe and the floor. When the second bell rang there was a general scramble for seats. Spying a few vacant ones in the corner, the Freshmen dashed for them, running into the upper classmen, but finally succeeding in their great effort. After finding seats and recovering from the initiations we began to look for a motto to look up to, which was, Fit-Via-Vi fEnergy Wins the Wayl. Athletics seemed to be our taste for all through the battles we held up our end. A few members of the Freshmen class dropped out, either to enter the business world or to remain at home. Those to leave us were Marie Schuster, Harvey Schultz, Arnold Droese, Wilson Baer and Erna Kuphall. The Sophomore year proved to be more successful for now'all were acquainted with high school methods of instruction, and, more important, there was no longer the fear of upper classmen. During this year fame came to those who entered contest work. Some took part in athletics and club work. This year our class was in- creased with five new members, Saraphina Scopp, Ruby Muzzy, Esther and Stella Worth, and Vera Holmes. We also lost Hve members: Norma Haaschke, LeRoy Obermann, Lavera Leicht and Marion Uebele. When that memorable year came to a close, each Sophomore felt that he had earned a vacation and the right to be called a Junior. At the beginning of the Junior year, the trial of becoming accustomed to new teachers was not presented to us for they all had returned.: Three were welcomed to this lively group, namely, Franz Schneider, John Harmon, and Edward Unger. We also lost a member during this session, who was Edna Jensen. The Juniors felt that they were real society men and women at one of the well-remembered events, the Junior-Senior banquet. They began to assume more dignity at the close of this year, for were they not soon to be Seniors. On the morning of the opening day of school, September ll, 1923, a very happy group of Seniors were assembled in the corridors relating to their friends their pleasures. When the last bell had rung the Seniors proudly occupied the seats of the former Senior classes and they sincerely tried to act the part of dignified Seniors. Of course, it is left to the rest of the school as to whetherlor not they were success- ful in this attempt. Although we lost five members: Ruby Muzzy. Lorraine Zessin, Daela Buczkowski. Esther and Stella Worth, we also welcomed one new member, Irene Klug. Page Tlwrnly 3
