We ' the class of 1955 dedicate this yearbook, the last memoir of our high school days, to Konrad Weniger who thought enough of our country while visiting here to become an American citizen The class first met Konrad n11950 when he came to school and joined us in our freshman year. He had come from Germanyudth some other German students to stay here in the United States for about a year and then return home. He lived on a farm in Perry Township where he helped with the farm work. He also learned some more about farming in school in agriculture classes. The time passed quickly for him and he had to return to Ger- many. He had made some friends here even though his English wasn't the best and he d1dn't relish the thought of leaving. He decided he would try to become a citizen of the United Statesas he told the school before he left. He said he would be willing to Join the United States Army if there was no other way to be- come a citizen. However, this was not necessary. Today he is back in this country and is on his way toward becoming a good American citizen. Soon after he came back to America he was married and just recently his family has increased to three. He is still interested in agricultural work and is employed by the state as a milk tester. We, the class of '5k, would like to take this opportunity to wish him success and hap- piness as an American citizen and we hope he will have fond mem- ories of the friends and acquaintances he made at Perry.
