Class History The second of September, 1946, was a gala day for nineteen radiant and hopeful girls and boys as they climbed the stairs of knowledge to the Nelson High School. The first year was a daring one involving new ideas, new undertakings and new surroundings. First came the great ordeal of initiation. After that was over they really felt as if they were a part of Nelson High. Who wouldn't after they had had a day of torture by the Seniors: Upon their return the second year they realized they had lost three classmates: Clara Rathbun and Claire Serum, who were working, and Mary Lynn DeMars who had moved to Eau Claire. The Sophomore and Junior years were not especially significant. By this time they were used to high school life. Counting noses at the beginning of the Junior year they found several more classmates missing. Alvern Quarberg was now working at home and Joyce Schamaun had transferred to Alma High School. Daring the Junior year they sponsored the annual prom, the theme for which was Suddenly It's Spring . Pat Tiffany was elected prom king and he chose Virgal Weisenbeck as queen. Returning to school in the fall of 1949 meant something different. This was their last year of high school. Just around the corner waited their future careers. There were just twelve in the class now due to the fact that Robert Reinhardt had remained at home to work and Muriel Keenlyne was attending Durand High School. Before the end of the first semester they lost another member, Patricia Weisenbeck, who became the bride of Theodore Reinhardt, Jr. Nothing could induce the rest of the class to leave, as they were using Nelson High School as a stepping stone to the greater and better things in life.
