Mrs. Miriam Butler Kirchefer Sponsor Class History The high school history of the class of “46” began four years ago, September 4, 1942, when a host of children, sixty-four strong, set out to conquer the world of higher learning. We were green, of course, but since only the green things grow, we felt fortified to endure the various experiences that were certain to come upon us. Because of high I. Q. ratings, we were soon referred to as the exceptionally-intelligent Freshmen. The first class officers of the august group were Mervin Bauman, President; Milton Ochsner, Vice President; Doris Woods, Secretary; Billy Dickson, Treasurer; and Miss Weber, Sponsor. Blue and Gold were selected as class colors. Many mixers'were sponsored by various groups, but the climax of all of them was May 14, 1943, when the Freshmen entertained the upperclassmen with a dance, music for which was furnished by the Harvard A. F. Bombadier Orchestra. The class was complimented for giving the most successful mixer in years. The grand finale to the first year was a picnic at Carney’s Pasture. Among minor incidents was that Arlis Serr broke her collar bone. The fall of 1943 found us bold and ready to tackle any task set before us--we were Sophomores I Sixty-three experienced Sophomores I How grand that sounded after being called “Freshies” for nine long months. The first important step was to elect Kendall Ham, President; Gene Bauer, Vice President; Doris Woods Secretary; Tom Engelehardt, Treasurer; Regina Sheridan and Milton Ochsner Student Council; and Mrs. Elvin Schulte, Sponsor. One of the heart breakers to every Student was this notice: “No Russian Seeds are to be eaten in the auditorium at any special entertainment. It is considered discourteous and unsanitary to scatter these on the floors.” Throughout the year, the class enjoyed many festivities, such as class parties, mixers, sports, musical concerts, G. R. Carnival and Banquets. At the Junior-Senior Banquet on May 6, 1944, sixteen of the prominent Sophomores served. The girls wore pastal colored dresses with dainty, white lace aprons; the boys wore light colored trousers with sport jackets. Servers included R. Landenberg, R. Sheridan, J. Ilultine, A. Serr, D. Brown, J. Ham D. Ham, and S. Vauck; G. Bauer L. Barbee, M. Ochsner, T. Engelehardt, M. Barnell, R. Hcrnbacker, H. Brauning and M. Bauman. This, our second successful year, came to an end when we enjoyed at the city park an all school picnic, after which each of us went different ways expecting to see one another again the next school term. After a peaceful sojourn, fifty-six Juniors, feeling quite dignified, came back to school on September 5, 1944 when we were allowed to sit next to the Seniors. In organizing we chose Delores Brown, President; Eileen ronin, Vice President; Jeannine liultine, Secretary; Regina Sheridan, Treasurer. This, being a heavy burden year, we elected two sponsors, Mrs. Kirchhefer and Mr. Schultz. Among activities that took place was choosing an emblem, the class ring, a most attractive oval shaped gold ring with a letter “S” acros: the face. This unusual design was admired by many, and we as Juniors, were proud to wear them. Next was our first attempt at play production; on January 11, 194b, w presented me of the outstanding performances of the year a comedy “The Mad datters,” a play long to be remembered because of excellence performance. Senior Sneak Day proved to be another victory for our class.. At b:00 a.m., nine half awe • faithful Juniors got up to greet the Seniors, who were so very, very, happy and proud to have us escort them four miles toward their destination at a speed of nine miles per hour. The preceding night and the remainder of the day, was spent defending our class colors which decorated the assembly and class rooms very attractively and beautifully. To assist the financial problems for Banqueting the Seniors, the class sold pop, apples, hot dogs, and candy bars at football and basketball games. Every classmate was credited for his co-operation of making this project a success. The climax of this prosperous year was reached when we were hosts at a formal Banquet to the Seniors, faculty and other guests, who assembled at the auditorium, May 5, 1945, to find they had been transported to the island of Hawaii land of tropical flowers, moonlight and palm trees. Ladies of the Methodist church served a most delicious dinner of baked ham and sweet potatoes and the trimming. The evening, spent dancing, was indeed a huge success. We bade farewell to our Junior year by attending an all school picnic at the city park playing soft ball and enjoying an appetizing picnic lunch. At last, the class of high and mighties reached their climax, with a class-roll of fifty industrious Seniors, now considered the rulers of the roost by everyone but the teachers. As our leaders for the year, we selected Eileen Cronin, President; Regina Sheridan, Vice President; Larry Barbee, Secretary; Doris Woods, Treasurer. We were fortunate in having Mrs. Kirchhefer and Mr. Schultz for our advisors again. “Life Is- A Picture So Paint It Well” was chosen as our class motto and “Yellow Rose,” class flower. During the past four years, four boys have been inducted in Uncle Sam's Armed Forces: Donald Lytle , Charles Lohmeier, Paul Jackson and Clayton Houts. During February, the Senior class attended the Memorial Services for Don Lytle. Don, who was killed in action, was a friendly boy and admired by all of his classmates and friends. One of the first important tasks was selecting our apnouncements and name cards. A few unoccupied nights were at hand, so Supt. Krantz honored the students, parents, and guests with “Nigh School.” Such an occasion happened during National Education Week, November 13, 1945. Everyone agreed it was new, different, exciting, and were in favor of having more. Early in January we attended a roller skating party at Aurora, going as a sponsored group, and having an enjoyable time. Another skating party occurred in P’ebruary but because of complications in the office, we were an unsponsored group. Hm-m-m-m. From now on your imagination takes over. February 18, the day set aside for Mr. Haberman to take our Senior pictures, found everyone spruced up in. their best bibs and tuckers. This dress parade made i vt ryono realise what a nice looking group of boys and girls were in the class of “46.” Our class play, “Laughing Gas,” was given May 3, 1946, the latest date on record for a Senior play in Sutton High. But from the compliments we heard after the play, it was well worth our time and effort. One of the great undertakings of tii-• year was publishing of the Annual. The class of “47“ gave a lovely Banquet in our honor. Jest and jollity ruled. As a fitting close to a busy year, we enjoyed :51 ouch Day, Class Day, and Pneak Day. The four most important years of our life came to a close on the nights of Baccalaureate, May 12, 1946, and Commencement, May 16, lt'46. We the class of “46“ are proud for having the largest number participating in the following activities: Atheletics, 18; Pep Club, 15; Band, 16; and Orchf ;;tra, 15. Tin Alumni Banquet ended our four wonderful years of High School with nothing to rogr- t. hi spite of our many mistakes, we have successfully completed ur high school course. We express our deepest appreciation to our instruct-rs wh ■ huv so patiently help-. 1 us reach this goal. E ch one of us is inspired with longing to go forth into this wi i- world and make good for the sake of Sutton High. CLASS WILL Fellow students and friends, since the time has arrived for our great class of 1946 to leave this institution of higher learning, while we are still in sound mind and in the good graces of our teachers and still dearly loved by our underclassmen, we do hereby solemnly swear this our last will and testament. To the Junior Class we bequeath all of our Senior privileges and unusual talent to be able to accomplish anything set before us.

In witness whereof we the class of 1946 have, to this our last will and testament, subscribed our names and affixed our seal on this last day of May, one thousand nine hundred and forty-six. Frank Sinatra Bing Crosby CLASS PROPHECY A progressive advancement has taken place in our future social and economic life, due largely to the great and noble deeds of the 1946 class of Sutton High School. I feel I have an advantage over the past prophecy writers because today I am taking a trip to the moon on my new atom-power strato grazer. But my dear patient listeners, please wait just a second longer while the two greatest scientists of all History, Darlene MacDonald and Gene Bauer, make the final check on my machine. Upon the day of graduating from Physics class, they guaranteed their work and have gathered together their knowledge and natural ability into one happy union. . Before starting on my trip, I will introduce my sponsor, Miss Eileen Cronin, who has made possible my trip to the moon. One of the outstanding persons of the W'estern Hempisphere, she is noted for drawing blue prints of this magnificent, powerful machine. , Upon arriving at the air port, I was somewhat nervous, until I found confidence and satisfaction in the pilot, none other than Homer.Brauning, with Jack Arp beside him. The rest of the crew consisted of Kendall Ham, navigator; Leonard Lytle, Mechanic; and Shirley Vauck, stewardess. Mr. Brauning contacted the button and --whish--like a crack lightning, I was off to my new destination. And here I am, millions of miles from nowhere, on this strange, new and different planet. Not knowing which way to go, I immediately called for a taxi. When I heard the intense voice say “Where to, Miss?” I at once receognized Elden Plettner’s deep bass. Still being a single man, Elden asked to take me to lunch. Practically-starved, I instantly accepted his offer, and we drove to the nearest restaurant. I thought my menu was for a large t-bone steak, but when the waitress, Norma Leitner, brought my order, I found but a small pill, my food condensed. Elden’s order consisted of lemon juice; as he said, “I am compelled to watch my figure.” This new and different type of food didn’t agree with me too well, so--I haunted the streets, in hopes of finding a doctor’s office. Finally I saw the neon lights “Ochsner's Clinic--‘Let’s hear your ails, we never fail’.” I ran to the nearest elevator and asked for the 30th floor. Wilma Milroy, the elevator girl, made a fast trip, and in no time I was in the doctor’s office. The sign on the door read “The doctor is in, please relax,” so I sat down, deciding to wait my turn. After sometime, the door opened and the nurse, Betty Ann VanTrump, calmly said “You’re next!” Having the afternoon free, I attended the football game between Mars and Jupiter. Using my field glasses, I noticed two of the outstanding players on the field--Dean Dohmeier was playing with Mars and Mervin Bauman with Jupiter. Just then I heard two familiar voices yelled, “Rah! Rah! Rah! Team.” Turning around I saw Regina Sheridan yelling for one team and Delores Brown for the other, each dressed in their school’s smart colors. Rivalry had finally parted their friendship. Next I heard the loud, harsh voice of Alonzo Roemick yelling, “Peanuts, crackerjacks; two-bits a sack.” Accompaning him was his wife, Jeannine Monson, who was responsible for developing his weak, soft voice into the one which is now decidedly masculine. Very thirsty, I hailed the tiny water boy, none other than Jonathon Griess. Johnny had acquired round, humped shoulders from carrying the heavy water pail for so long. A muscular physique, he has yet to find. The game finally ended as an even match between Mars and Jupiter. Phishing through the crowd towards the gate, I bumped into John Finnegan and his wife, Donna Nuss. Following them were seven of their offsprings. My, my, how times have changed!! Just outside the gate, I heard music. Upon investigation, I discovered Lee Nelson and Merrill Barnell with their saxaphones, accompanying Tom Frank Sinatra Engelehardt. Frankie was crooning a combination of hillbilly lullabies. I asked him why his knees were shaking and he replied, “Some one told me I should quit singing and my knees were applauding the idea.” Strolling by the church, I heard Mrs. Kirchhefer playing Lohengrin’s Bridal March. A double wedding ceremony was being performed and the Ham cousins were the brides. Donna and Jeannie had kept faithful to their engagement rings and now had acquired the ring to match. The next morning I got up early to polish my strato grader as I was going to glide over the country side. Up “nort by da ribber blue,” I noticed a prosperous field of grain. I landed to examine it and much to my surprise found the farmers of Sutton High, Marvin Mau and Milton Fehr. They were trying to convince Moon Congress they could raise Russian Wheat on the planet. As I left, they were starting their evening chores as they were expecting Doctor Larry Barbee, veterinarian, to come and examine their pet pigeons. On a closeby farm, I visited Mrs. Maxine Johnson Everetts, who married the day following graduation. At present they were inventing a self-roller baby carriage. Hm-m-m. Mrs. Herman Schierman, nee Arlene Kauk, was teaching a rura l school. From the basement, I heard the familiar tune, “Till The End Of Time ’ It’s unbelievable, but when I saw the black, smoked face of the janitor, I realized it was LeRoy Traudt. Elaine Salmen was hired as recreation instructor and Ramona Traudtman as nurse-maid. Just then I saw some shapely legs dangling from the side of the caboose of a nearby passing train. That’s right! You guessed it! Those legs belonged to Batty Jean Kidd, singing “Waiting For The Trains To Come In.” The next morning I set out to roam the streets again. Hearing the old school bells ringing, I followed the co-eds into the school of learning. Remembering the hour I spent each day in American Government, I decided to visit class and refresh my memory. The class room quieted down instantly as the door opened quickly and out walked Prof. Stanley Stienhour, who had taken to teaching, teUing others how to run our government. The next class was Sociology. As I approached the room, Burton WeUs was speaking. ‘ ‘The first question in your daily quiz is:: Define Personality in the exact words as your text states.” Walking down the long halls, I saw a sign on the door “Doris Woods, supervisor of Schools.” I went in to renew old acquaintances and she told me that Rachel Langenberg was teaching vocal music; Doris Bauer, atheletics; and Arlis Serr, dancing. Doris and Rachel were married to wealthy congressmen, while Arlis was still trying to decide which man’s offer to accept. After coming the the conclusion that this institution might bring back too many memories of my dear days of Sutton High, I found myself walking out of the large building. Just around the corner, an excited mob was pushing and pulling at a huge instrument. Getting down on aU fours, I squeezed through the crowd on my hands and knees until I was in the front standing line. “What a queer looking machine” I said to myself. The inventer, standing nearby, told me it was a Raidi-Vise Scope. Being very curuous to look back on my old stamping grounds, the Earth, I purchased a ticket, crawled to the rear of the line on my hands and knees, and with 351 people ahead of me, waited my turn. I was thoroughly exhausted when I again reached the machine to regulate it by myself. Th” Radi-Visa Scope focused immediately on Bixby, Nebraska, where I saw two of my old classmates, Norma Gene Lohmeier and .Norma Wiard. They had a partnership in an expensive dress shop where they were models in a fashion parade. Just then the instrument jerked as Mesdame Ramona Fisher started playing her accordian. She has a 24 year contract with the “Tin Pan Ally Jeeve and Jive Two Step Waltz Co.,” not mentioning the matching diamond rings on her fourth finger, left hand. Across the street I heard Helen Meyer making change in a grocery store. I should have known she’d be working in there as the sign outside read, “Don Ochsner’s Foods.” Glancing down the ally, I saw Fritz Becker, acting as Bixby s official Street-Cleaner. He seemed satisfied as he was laboring so earnestly at his work. A continual buz-z-z-z-z came ringing through the sound effects of the instrument, and when I saw the highly fused lights shine on a figure, namely Phyllis Schinzel, my curosity was again aroused, for she was teaching the deaf and dumb “How To Play The Violin In Nine Easy Lessons. To hear all the squeaks and squils develop out of their violins, reminded me of the two years I held down first chair in orchestra only to get the same results as they did. In fact, I think I’ll fly back to Earth immediately and relearn how to play my violin--not as Jack Benny plays at his--but as Phyllis, arid only Phyllis, can teach me “How To Play The Violin In Nine Easy Lessons.

The Future Farmers of America, is a non-profit, non-political firm youth organization of voluntary membership, designed to take its place along with other agencies striving for the development of leadership, the building of a more permanent agriculture, and the improvement of country life. The emblem is made up of the following symbols: the owl is symbolic of wisdom and knowledge; the plow is the symbol of labor and tillage of the soil; the rising sun of progress and a new day to dawn in agriculture when all farmers are trained and learn to cooperate; the cross-section of an ear of corn represents common agricultural interests; and the American eagle is indicative of national scope.

JUNIOR CLASS PLAY “Everybody set? O. K.l Lights I Camera! Curtain! Action!” and a play directed by Miss Marvel Lucas rolls out to the “deaf man in the back row.” A jammed auditorium greeted the cast of “THE MAD HATTERS’ Junior Class Play presented Thursday, January 11, 1945, with the audience high in their praise. The audience if not setting on the edge of their chairs chewing their fingernails, were shaking with laughter, to watch the hilarious comedy play performed by us spectacular Juniors. A wellrSelected cast gave you this outstanding performance of the year in this riotous farce in three acts of a family living off of grandma, Betty Ann Van Trump. If ever a dull moment “Gigi,” Delores Brown, was on her toes to arouse your attention with her muscular athletic ability of jumping rope--OR--“Bunny,” Homer Brauning, was asking people to pose while he snapped their picture —OR--“Pop,” Elden Plettner, was telling fish stories of his fishing trips—OR—“Mug-zie,” Merrill Barnell, was kissing Delores Brown—OR—“Angelica,” Regina Sheridan was tripping the Gypsy Dance--OR--“Grandma” Betty Ann Van Trump was loosing her false teeth. “THE MAD HATTERS” grossed the tidy sum of $209.52. With this amount and the fine compliments we.heard after the play, it made the Juniors feel proud they were Juniors. Each classmate was responsible for the success of our first class play and extra credit was given to the cast who did a remarkable job; our director, Miss Marvel Lucas; student director, Jeannine Hultine; and sponsors, Mrs. M. Kirch-hefer and Mr. Elvin Schultz. Tlu east included: Gigi Hatter................ Bunny Halter............... Joe “Pop” Hatter . .......... Margaret “Maggie” Hatter. . Angelica...................

JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET When the seniors, faculty, and other guests assembled at the auditorium on May 5, 1945, they found they had been transported to the island of Hawaii, land of tropical flowers, moonlight, and palm trees. Guests were greeted with “Aloha” and given a lei of friendship to wear during the banquet. The entrace to the banquet room was decorated with an archway of colorful tropical flowers and the walls of the room were covered with vines of huge flowers. Over-head a sky of blue with gold stars our colors, formed a pretty ceiling for tliis “Aloha Beach Frolic.” On the stage a rich orange moon shone down from between two large palm trees. Scenes of Hawaii flanked the stage. The tables were appointed with green candles decorated with the foliage of the palm trees and small canoes served as nut cups. Each guest received a Memories booklet. Sixteen sophomores were chosen to act as waiters. The boys wore white trousers, colored sashes and about the neck the customary lei. The girls wore leis, grass skirts, colored bras, and were barefooted. Their complexions were darkened to look very much like the natives. Ladies of the Methodist Kensington served a delicious meal of baked ham, sweet potatoes, and all the trimmings. One hundred and five guests were served. Toastmistress for the occasion was Doris Woods who introduced the following toasts and musical numbers: A--Cordial Welcome Jr. Class Prexy, Delores Brown L--eis of Friendship Sr. Class Prexy, Vivian Serr 0--Beautiful Island Milton Ochsner H--awaiian Royal Palms Duane Grove A--t the Crossroads of the Pacific Principal, E.
