Gfass Jfisiory 1961 Four years ago, early one morning on the twenty-eighth day of August, 1957, as the faculty of Sacred Heart High School were strolling through the corridors, chatting about the just ended vacation and wondering whether there would be any startling changes in their work during the coming year, they made a discovery. Just inside the front door, huddled together in embarrassment and anxiety, were the members of our class of 1961. To the casual eye, we perhaps seemed merely a group of ordinary boys and girls, but to the trained eyes of our faculty we seemed distinct and widely separated individuals, each possessing aptitudes and talents, deficiencies and capabilities decidedly worth finding out. We were divided into different groups and assigned to different classes. We were given the name Freshmen and thus became a part of the life of the school. During the first month of this year we suffered much from inconvenience because of our unfamiliarity with the high school. We were forever taking the wrong turns, finding ourselves in the wrong classrooms, and thus ending up late for class. Before the end of the first month we became familiar with the topography of the school building and were often in the right place at the right time. We were permitted to form a class club which we named the Crusader's Club, and elected the following officers, all of whom fulfilled their duties well: Jeanette Muller, president: Marjorie Schoech, vice president; Karen Endres, secretary; and Betty Ann Dangelmayr, treasurer. We started early on our project by collecting and selling newspapers. With the money we made we purchased a demonstration table for the chemistry classroom. With our sponsor and general science teacher, Sister M. Barbara, we made an educational field trip to Denison Dam and to the telephone office in Gainesville. We became interested in different activities and sports, such as, basketball for the girls, and basketball, baseball and football for the boys. As our football queen candidate that year we elected Marjorie Schoech. With the coming of the next August, we received a new name - Sophomores. The routine of the classroom was now familiar and we found studying easier than before. We found that we had lost some members of our class. To take their places were Veronica Hess and Roger Taylor who both returned to Sacred Heart. Our class organization this year was led by Teddy Miller as president; Roger Taylor, vice president; Jane Endres, secretary; and Betty Ann Dangelmayr, treasurer. As sophomores many of us were active in Mission work, 4-H and C. Y.C. work. Sister M. There-sina was our sophomore sponsor. Betty Ann Dangelmayr was chosen as our football queen candidate.

Gfass History 1961 (Gontinued) In the third year, owing to an old custom, we became juniors. We welcomed to our ranks Shirley Reiter and Mr. Adam Wolf as our sponsor. This year wc elected Marjorie Schoech as president; Anthony Knabe, vice president; Veronica Hess, secretary; and Betty Ann Dangelmayr, treasurer. This was a year of hard work, as most of us took four, five, and six subjects. We also sponsored the junior-senior banquet. And now we come to the fourth and the greatest year in the history of our class. We automatically became seniors in August and with the gaining of this title, we began to take ourselves more seriously than ever before. The organization of the senior class was noteworthy with the following in charge: Roger Taylor, president; Thomas Vogel, vice president; Karen Endres, secretary; and Betty Ann Dangelmayr, treasurer. Our sponsor was Sister M. Celine. We eagerly looked forward to the wearing of our senior rings. Social events most worthy of note were as follows: the homecoming dance; the Christmas party; and our senior play, Murder Takes the Veil. Our social activities were climaxed by the junior-senior banquet and prom. Karen Endres won first place in the Catholic Daughter's poem contest. She was also valedictorian of the class. As president of C. Y.C., Karen had the privilege of crowning the statue of the Blessed Virgin. For this event the senior girls formed a court of honor and the senior boys carried Our Lady’s statue in procession. Salutatorian of our class was Jane Endres. Jeanette Muller, our football queen candidate, won second place in the queen’s contest. Jane Endres, Betty Ann Dangelmayr, and Marjorie Schoech served as senior cheerleaders. Our girls' basketball team, with Mr. Wolf as coach, won three trophies. Girls who lettered were Betty Ann Dangelmayr, Della Hartman, Karen Endres, and Dolly Otto. Among the boys, Anthony Knabe lettered in football, basketball, and baseball. Teddy Miller lettered in football and baseball, while James Fuhrmann lettered in football. May 9, 10, and 11 were three delightful days that were spent on our senior trip to Carlsbad Caverns. With the reception of our diplomas on Friday, May 19, from the Most Reverend Michael Lensing our days at Sacred Heart will come to a close.
