Seniors For several years, Neenah High Schooi was gifted with extremely large classes, but in 1948 the class of 51,' arrived, very small in number. XVe made up in ,other Ways what We lacked in number. After the first shock, the Cub Mixer, we really got into the swing of things. To get started, we elected john Cundlach, president, james Shannon, vice-president, Mary Os- borne, secretary, and Carol Berens, treasurer. With these competent officers to lead us, we had a successful first year. We joined the various clubs, the boys went out for sports, and the girls cheered them on. In October, the freshman girls gave a tea for their mothers. It was the first of its kind and started a successful practice. By Christ- mas, we were ready for a vacation to forget our school work and have fun. After Christ- mas, we all enjoyed the CAA Hawaiian Hol- idayv dance with Tony Winters, orchestra. In April, we had a freshman party. Music was provided by ray-cordingf, It really pro- vided a good time for everyone who attended. Many members of our class participated in the annual band tournament in Sheboygan in May where they made a good showing as usual. In june we waded through our first final exams, all the while looking forward to a three months' vacation. We were no longer greenhorns and would be back the next year to gain the prestige we would need as upperclassmen. In fall, we returned to school to resume the activities started during our ,freshman year. . t QL' r Q, ggi gx ight ix ilgim . 'HI Class Officers Robert Schmidt, President, Melvin Blank, Vice Presideni Melba Steen, Secretary, and Georgian Kopvlas Treasui We started by electing some efficient lead- ers who were William Gresenz, president, Dean Wistoff, vice-president, Mary jean Rut- ter, secretaryg and Charleen Brandt, treasurer. We chose wisely and started out for a good year. That year we began to become more active in the various clubs in school. The boys took over the B-squads in sports while the girls gave their loyal support. After basketball games that year, TABS began sponsoring dances at the 'Reef' These proved very en- joyable and became the meeting place after games. The sophomore girls held a tea for their mothers in December. Some of the girls en- tertained by singing or playing musical in- struments with Christmas music being fea- tured on the program. In April, we held an all-school dance the theme of which was April Showers. The gym was transformed to an April day. Every- one had a good time and went home think- ing of April showers and May flowers.
