CLASS HISTORY One bright sunny day th1s spring I decided to make a vlsit to the Wisconsin Hall of Fame at Madison I felt very inspired as I entered the bullding and saw pictures of famous people I hardly knew where to beg1n look1ng I chose a small room 1h one of the darkened corners I passed many pictures that meant llttle or nothing to me and I saw just about to le ve when way down in a lower corner I sp1ed a fam1l1ar looking picture I realized lt was none other than our class as it looked when we started first grade twelve years ago I remember how very excited all of us were as we started to school that year Mrs vred Nlckel, nee Helen Capper, was our teacher She taught us readin', writ1n', and 'rithmetic and tr1ed very hard to break us of the delightful little hablt of whispering Many were the times when we had to spend time after school for speaking to our neighbor across the aisle The next room I entered had an even larger number of pictures There I found another picture of personal interest to me. It was taken in 1939 of the second grade class of rrairie du Sac A few new faces appeared among the group who had returned for thelr second year of school On each slde of the students were our teachers, Mrs John Cole who taught our class 1n the mornlng, and Miss Capper our afternoon teacher. As I went on through the next room I found larger plctures of our class as it looked in our third, fourth, and fifth gr de years Standlng falthfully by our side was Miss Sather The sweet smile of our teacher and her expresslon of interest ln each one of us made me stop and look back to those three years added more difflcult studies to our daily work How well I can reme ber one of our most lmportant activities of that per1od It was the operetta 'Hansel and Grettel Jeanette Saxer played the part of Grettel and playlng opposlte her was Mllton Trautmann How proud we all were to be 1n that operetta' As I stood looklng at that picture a more unpleasant thought entered my m1nd Our country was at war then and even our class had felt its effects All the beaut ful farms of our prairie had been taken down and 1n their places was the B dger Ordnance Works Our class, along with all the others, took 1D many new students help wlth the sprlng work in place of the older members of the famlly who were in the service Another very good picture was that of our slxth grade class Ah, wh t a year that was' We were all in the tuFm011 caused by the war Everythlng was 15 a state of confusion We started the year off here at the h gh school classes were dlvided between Miss Smlth and M1ss Hu mel who tr1ed to do the1r best under very crowded cond1t1ons When the second s1x weeks rolled around the doors of our hlgh school were bulging so that our class had to be moved to the park pav1l1on Mrs Jack Kennedy of Sauk C1ty was glven the Job of educating us for the rest of the year The daily enrollment grew unt1l by the mlddle of the year we made our last move We were placed up in the old K P Hall bu1ld1ng The memorles of those days are still very v1v1dly portrayed 1n my mind we loved to roller skate around all the desks, throw a baseball over the roof until one day lt did not go qulte hlgh enough and went through a wlndow instead, or swing on the front rail1ng until the whole thlng collapsed Some days we had five to ten new classmates whlle at other times we would lose that many students or even more. I almost mlssed one very famlliar p1cture, 1HSCT1b6d 'The Jun1or H1gh School Students of 1946 and 1947n There was our seventh grade teacher, Mlss Helen Kirley We were now back at the high school and were settled down to a more qu1et life Yes, there on our right s1de stood our elghth grade teacher, Mrs Clarence Khhnau, nee Clara Gruber We really felt as if we were a part of high school and that year was so 1mportant to all of us as it marked the las+ step of our grade school educatlon O 0 . . . . 0 - . 3 .
