Class officers: Ronnie Bill, Floyd Harris, Nancy Ready, Bob Scbroeder Senior Class flistor!).. ♦ To graduate or not to graduate, that is the question.” (Please pardon the parody, Mr. Shakespeare). Yes, that is the question that has been lurking for the last four years in the minds of 124 members of the senior class. Although this thought has been a very prominent factor in our school life, we have really mixed a lot of fun with our work. On September 21, 1945, green hats marked us as green horns at our initiation into the freshman class. As officers that year we chose Ralph Johansen as president, Paul Pawlisch, as vice-president, Jackie Wolter as secretary-treasurer, and Ralph Volk as Loyalty representative. Our honor students were Betty Montgomery, Caroline Kruse, and Joyce Hulburt. All of us were pretty proud when Jim Arenz made varsity in basketball. Although we received first in song and skit, we turned up in fourth place at Loyalty. As sophomores we added Bob Schroeder, Don Schroe-der, and Ralph Johansen to our list of athletic greats. Caroline, Joyce, and Betty pulled through again as honor students. Class officers were Joyce Hulburt as president, Joan Mayfield as vice-president, Floyd Harris as secretary-treasurer, and Betty Montgomery as Loyalty-representative. On February 15 we entertained the student body at a highly successful Heart Hop. September 2, 1947, marked the first day of a very successful year for our R. H. S. We elected Ralph Heiser as president, Olive Curtin as vice-president, Betty Montgomery as secretary-treasurer, and Victor McDermott as Loyalty representative. As juniors we added Bill Frazier, Evan Schenkat, and Ralph Volk to our athletic hall of fame. We were really proud of our boys as they battled to a co-championship rating in both football and basketball. Many students slipped back into the good, old days as we entertained them at our Junior Gay Nineties party. On the evening of February 6 King Ralph Heiser and Queen Olive Curtin reigned over a Winter Wonderland Prom of glistening snowflakes, snowbanks, a little log cabin and tall and stately diamond-encrusted pines. In one comer stood a jaunty snowman sagely surveying the enchanting scene, while silvery stars peeped shyly from the stage curtains. Students, teachers, and guests danced to the music (?) of Gary Gray ’s orchestra. Betty Montgomery, Jeneane Dar-gel, Joyce Hulbert, Ralph Heiser, Amy Gade, Mavis Blank, and Marie Braun walked off with scholastic honors. We suffered a heart-breaking defeat in Loyalty after a very close contest with the seniors, but second place wasn’t so bad after all. Why, one that rode to his execution, man, could never go so slow. (Thank you, Mr. Shakespeare). Who could this fit any better than it did the freshmen as they anticipated initiation at our hands? The Senior Fanta’ sea” was a maze of clams, sharks, sea horses, and snails as favors; freshmen trying to dance the Sailors Hornpipe; rowing down the floor in boxes; swabbing the decks with toothpicks and cotton; and self-consciously singing Row, Row, Row Your Boat.” Ronnie Bill as King Neptune put them through their paces. Overlooking this whole strange scene was a stranger audience consisting of mermaids, whales, schools of rainbow-colored fish, and Oscar the Octopus with his long tangling arms and baleful eyes. As our leaders we chose Bob Schroeder as president, Floyd Harris as vice-president, Ronald Bill as secretary-treasurer, and Nancy Ready as Loyalty representative. Our class advisor w'as Miss Piquette. In football this year our boys won five out of the eight games. We won our Homecoming game from Portage 14-0. King Ralph Johansen and Queen Janice Krueger reigned over a very successful Homecoming dance. Our basketball team was absolutely tops. Not everyone goes to state. The class play Stranger in the Night” was produced on April 1st in the South School Auditorium. As this busy year swings briskly to a close, we pause and take a lingering look back on the full happy years we have spent in Reedsburg High School. We know w-hat we are but we know not what we may be.” And as we pursue our different ambitions in life, we will realize what a firm foundation R.H.S. has been. 10
