JOHN OLINGER SENIORS Being chosen a class officer for the past three years shows how John’s classmates feel about him. He was a member of the starting five on the Crusader basketball team and was also the star pitcher on the baseball team. A straight A student, John plans to go to college next year. MARY ANN OSER This little lassie is known by her many friends as ‘'Annie. As a member of the pep club and in any other activity she showed her loyal spirit. She was a faithful member of the yearbook staff and put forth earnest effort--such as should prove her a valuable member of society. f 3 I BERNARD PUND Though not a farmer by birth, Bernard is greatly interested in agriculture and in raising poultry. He is one of the initial members of the boys’ glee club and also sings in the men’s choir of the parish. He intends to leave for the Army almost immediately after graduation. ANNA MARIE RAHMAN When looking for this tall dark-headed young lady, one can usually find her in the library, indulging in her favorite pas- time; namely, reading. She is noted for her smile and the “hi” she has for everyone. Other than her reading interests, she enjoys the lady-like art of baking.

SENIORS RICHARD LEE SANDRA LEINENBACH Sandy, as she is known by all her schoolmates, can-not be overlooked. Her 52 Dodge, “Sadie,” parked at a slant, will always be remembered as one of the familiar sights at the high schooL As a Sophomore, Sandy held two offices; namely, that of class treasurer and President of the Marylike Homemakers Club. Richard is a very active member of the class. Besides being student-manager of both the basketball and baseball team, he sings in the glee club and also any other time he has a chance. Dick’s future is rather uncertain. NORMAN LUEKEN Nothing is too much of a favor to ask of this young man. It can readily be understood why he’s everyone's friend. As a sax- ophone player he has won six awards in music competition. Fellows like Norman are few and far between. PAUL MEHLING Paul is the witty fellow in our class. General knowledge is where he shines, but he is also interested in mechanics. Everyone agrees that his varied talents and his ability to get along with people are sure to bring him success.

SENIORS PATRICK RECKER Pat is usually kept busy on his dad’s turkey farm. For a while he sported a yellow Plymouth that all of a sudden converted to a nice-looking blue and white Dodge. What happened? Only the poor yellow Plymouth knows. He was a part-time Senior, leaving school at noon for work. Dennis is Jake’s constant companion and fellow mischief maker. He is very quiet and doesn’t have the bad habit of talking in his sleep; therefore, he doesn’t have much to say in class. Farming is what he will probably take up after graduation. EDWARD RUHE If anyone wished to find Eddie, he would look for the boy with the bandages. Purely by accident, he and the other two musketeers, Kenny and Dennis, accompanied by Kenny’s auto- mobile, just missed the bridge but hit the ditch. He’s a regular fellow who helped make our high school days jolly ones. DENNIS SCHAEFFER This young gentleman is the pride and joy of our school glee club, having sung a solo at the state music contest. He is a good worker and is often called on to do various odd jobs. Girls are his main interest in life and teasing them is his favorite pastime.
