Senior Hlass Jfistary To the Underclassmen of S.I. H. S. : Just a few words to recall our four years at Jakle High which were mixed with both work and fun. Our Freshman year began by electing class officers. They were: President, Richard Wehrleg Vice- President, Edward Petroski, Secretary, Phyllis Blumer, Treasurer, Michael McKinney. Miss Bradney was chosen sponsor. She appointed Kay Becker as class reporter. Mike and Betty Ellis were Student Council members. Other members of the class were: Tillie Arthur, Wayne Frutiger, Edmond Gansmann, Harold Hoenig, Thomas Prange, Mary Raymond, Henry Robards, Robert Schiefer and Wanda Schmidt. At a later meeting the class chose green and white, class colors, gardenia, class flower, Onward and upward to life in the future, class motto. In the late fall of '54, the class was initiated at a party given by the Student Council. We also gave a party for the oncoming Freshmen. We sold candy at the basketball games to raise money. We began our Sophomore year with fourteen members, losing Edward Petroski. The officers who were to guide us during this year were: Tom, President, Richard, Vice -President, Betty, Secretary, Tillie, Treasurer, Kay, Reporter, and Mary and Tom were Student Council members.

On March 12, we lost Richard, who moved to Pocahontas. Wayne took his place as Vice-President. Our Junior year was one of our most exciting as well as busiest years. Once again there were fourteen members. A new member, Jolene Seger from Trenton, joined the class. The officers chosen this year were: Tom, President, Henry, Vice-President, Mary, Secretary, Mike, Treasurer, Kay, Reporter, and Edmond and Wanda were Student Council Representatives. Miss Bradney was our sponsor once again. We sold soda at the games this year, had charge of two soda machines, picked up corn, gave a Halloween party, and decorated for the Christmas Hop. Our Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom was enjoyed by all who attended. The theme was Fantasyland and much hard work was put into it. And then that long awaited year at last. Seniors! !! On August 31, 1957, fifteen proud and eager seniors climbed the steps of Jakie High for their final and most enjoyable year. Mary moved to Tennessee and Paul Seiberlich and Ronald Willman, both from Marine, joined the class. Class officers this year were: President, Tom, Vice-President, Henry, Secretary, Betty, Treasurer, Kay, Reporter, Wanda. Mr. Jensen was our sponsor and Kay and Tom were Student Council members. The class sold magazines, individual pictures, candy, picked up corn, sponsored a box social and a skating party, and had work days to earn money for the trip to Washington, D. C.

Betty, Tillie, Kay, Phyllis, Wanda, Mike, Wayne and Edmond were band members. On May 28, fifteen proud but scared seniors sat in the gym of the, St. Jacob school for the last time - as students - and received their diplomas.
