President.......................... R. Geisthardt Secretary ............ History is both in the making and made with us. We started out as Freshmen “green in the gills.” Fifteen members were in the class. Our losses started the same time school did. Betty Schrauth, Orin, and Alfred Nit-schke left us but were partially replaced by Jean Nummerdor, Jean Norenberg, and Norman Buell. Our class officers were: President, Lowell Horning; vice-president, Rosemary Dejardin; and secretary-treasurer, Dorothy Wachendorf. We had four members in the band. After vacation we came back not quite so green. Our officers were: President, Rosemary Dejardin; vice president, Ethel Dille; secretary-treasurer, Alvin Briggs. Not much out of the ordinary happened this year. Eleven members remained. When we entered our Junior year our class was cut in half. Those who left were Alvin Briggs, Jean Norenberg, Dorothy McKnight, Dorothy Wachendorf, Roland Steinke, and Lowell Horning. ELTON KAUL - Kaul “Still waters run deep” Boys' Club, 2-3-4; Student Council, 4; Vice President, 4. DONALD HILL - “Don “I’m in the Army now” Donald, a member of the class of 1943, was drafted into the Army in January, and we have been unable to get a picture of him. In accordance with the State Law, Donald will receive his diploma this spring. Vice President E. Kaul —........... W. Reents Colors: Blue and Gold The officers were: President, Rosemary Dejardin; vice president, Rolland Geisthardt; secretary-treasurer, Ethel Dille. They also represented us on the Student Council and played in the band. Elton Kaul and Bill Reents joined the Boys’ Club. Rosemary and Ethel belonged to the G. A. A. That year we took second place in the class basketball tournament. Bill also took part in the Forensic contest and received second place. We gave a Senior Dance instead of a Junior Prom, which was a great success. This year as Seniors we took part in about everything four boys could. The class officers were: Rolland, president; Elton, vice president; Bill, secretary-treasurer. We were all on the Student Council, Rolland was president; later Elton was elected. Donald Hill was school treasurer until he left for the Army. Bill was appointed to fill the vacancy. Rolland and Bill were on the football team, and Rolland on the basketball team. Bill also took part in Forensics. Motto: Great Oaks From Little Acorns Grow Flower: Forget-me-not Class History Page 3
