Class Prophecy NEWS MARCHES ON” (with apologies to Walter Winchell) Attention Mr. and Mrs. Mukwonago! Here is some exclusive news of Muk- wonago graduates of 1938, and their activities. Harold Mair has rapidly risen from small town newsboy to circulation manager of the New York Times. As a sideline, he dabbles with scientific gadgets. Of late, he has received a patent on a self-operating smoking pipe. This pipe has already attracted many buyers. Who'd ever have thought, back in 1938, that we had a social worker in our midst. Miss Lucile Lucht is at present engaged in this occupation. From last reports we heard that she was carrying on her work in the hillbilly regions of Kentucky. Earl Red Ruppert has given up his job as pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers and has become a well-known undertaker and funeral director, at last realizing a boy- hood desire. Mme. Helene of Metropolitan Opera fame is giving voice lessons to a group of eager young artists. We used to know Mme. Helene as Helen Dewey. Donald Hembrook, in his modern, new hair-cutting establishment, is giving individualised hair cuts, styled to fit the personality. To each new customer, he gives a sample bottle of hair tonic, guaranteed to safe-guard against baldness. Patty Carroll, in a remarkably short time, has become head nurse in one of Chi- cago s larger hospitals. She seems to be attracting most of the wealthier patients of the Windy City. We doubt that she will long remain in her present capacity. Bob Hardakcr is merrily “trucking er-er we mean truck-gardening his way through life. His better half, formerly Mary Keniston, has relieved him of the re- sponsibility of driving the truck to market every day. We hear very favorable re- ports on their giant muskmelons. Gordon Himebauch has combined architectural designing with contract work. Most of the modern houses around Mukwonago bear his stamp of workmanship. Dr. Robert Parker Mitchell has installed in his dentist's office equipment which enables him to show Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse comedies to his patients. If a movie is included, the extraction is$ 1.50; if the movie is not desired, the extraction is $1.00. In either case, the operation is painless. Marion McAdams finally completed a trip to the altar with Mr. John Peer of East Troy. He patiently waited while she carried out the belief that her career as nurse came first. The popular heart-throb of the silver screen, who is basking in the glory that was once Gable's and Taylor's, is none other than our old high school pal. Merlin King. He is now playing at our local theater as Rhett Butler in Gone With the Wind. At last, they have decided to produce the picture! Flash! Flash! Wilma Schultz is air stewardess on a Pan-American plane piloted by her fiancee, John Van Buren. Their naval base is Pensacola, Florida. Quite a flighty romance, we’d say. From Indianapolis, Indiana, comes word that Warren Arndorfer, an accomplished racer, has entered the Trophy Auto Races. They say he's quite a speed demon, being able to do about 500 miles per hour with his streamlined Ladybird. Professor Frank Thomas teaches advanced Mathematics at Harvard University. His superior intelligence is greatly admired and respected by Ixith the faculty and student body. (Continued on Page 20) Pcrcr© Four THE ARROW

Class History On September 7, 1926, the ship, The First 6 Years, set sail from Mukwonago Graded School with Miss Ellsworth as captain and 23 members in the crew. This crew consisted of Frances Bailey, Dolores Buelo, Patty Carroll, Mary Colwill, Helen Dewey, Donald Hembrook, Betty Horne, Henry Krzymianauski, Marion McAdams, Austine Mair, Harold Mair, Herman Miles, Wm. Peterson, Chester Platner, Harold Powers, Josephine Rich, Frances, John, and Louise Schultz, Joyce and Marion Tess, and Albert Wolf. This ship was bound for good and bad weather, gains and losses, and whatever other obstacles might come into its way. For one year we had smooth sailing. Then came the second year: we lost 12 members of our crew, Dolores Buelo, Betty Horne, Chester Platner, Harold Powers, John, Frances, and Louise Schultz, Herman Miles, Francine Mair, Marion Tess, Josephine Rich, and Henry Krzymianauski and gained Earl Ruppert. The next year we set sail for higher seas having to climb two flights of stairs to 3rd grade. Here we took on 6 new crew members, Eleanore Kromeck, Esther Hime- bauch, Louis Rich, Marjorie Yates, Robert Hardaker, and Vera Barton, and a new captain for higher seas of knowledge. Miss Schmidter. How hard our boat did rock with those multiplication tables, but we never lost a soul at sea. We made another knot our fourth year losing but two sailors, Esther Himebauch and Patty Carroll and gained seven fine sailors, Martha Bingham, Gordon Himebauch, Vilas Wegner, Gladys Sonnenburg, Frank Bradley, Allen Kruse, and Anna Yates. This year we took a rest on the high seas to put on an operetta, “Yanki San.” Another year behind us and a new commander at the helm. Miss Van Epps. My, we were proud to move into another room on our ship! We gained three new members, Patty Carroll, Robert Wanless, and Robert Mitchell. No losses, but how Geography and History did shake us! Our calm journey was now disturbed as we had to prepare to Stop at port, unload our cargo, and take a new boat, The Next 2 Years. On our next journey with Miss Nettie Titus at the helm, we rescued 3 new members, Wallace Hall, Oliver Laatsch, and Ardis Ninabuck, although we lost Marjorie Yates. Miss Titus kept us busy preparing for another boat. Finally we were ready to use our last but best boat, Our High School Days. We felt very proud because we were the first ones to use the new Freshman home room. A new home room, a new High School, and 20 new members! Grace Bernau, Dolores Buelo, Ralph Digman, Michael Dolhun, Inez Fardy, Margaret Faulkner, Vivian John- son, Glen Jones, Ruth Michaelis, Harley Mules, Wesley Olson, Lyle Pellman, Walter Schmocker, Max Stawski, Benjamin Vick, Helen Vick, Dorothy Wambold, Robert Woller, Donald Lekfield, and Lydia Deblitz. We felt very superior this year, though we had to carry the name Green Freshmen,” but with 38 members and faculty advisor, Miss Scheffel, we soon embarked as Sophomores. The Sophomore Sea was rough in places; we lost 7 members, Margaret Faulk- ner, Michael Dolhun, Oliver Laatsch, Lyle Pellman, Max Stawski, Robert Woller, Donald Lekfield, and gained one, Mary Keniston; but we think we did well considering the dangerous shoals of Algebra. Remember, Mr. TetzlafF? The next year we really accomplished much. We decided to make up for our heavy losses, and we certainly did. We lost Ralph Digman, Ben Vick, Wallace Hall, and Inez Fardy of our crew and gained Warren Arndorfer, Evelyn Chapman, Lor- raine Engel, William Harris, Meivyn Kalk, Merlin King, Wilma Schultz, Frank Thomas, and Dick Thomas. We gave a successful class play Mountain Mumps.” With the gym at our disposal, we gave the first Prom ever given in our gym. The gym was transformed into a Hawaiian Island. Our royalty were King Merlin King and Queen Grace Baxter. (Continued on Page 21) NINETEEN THIRTY-EIGHT Page Three
