class NISTZOR In the fall of 1945, eleven of the future graduating class of 1958 trudged their way to kindergarten. The class consisted of Larry Appelgate, Bob Bolt, David Dolash, Larry Konicek, Sandra DuPre, Carla Walker, Judy Hennesy, Carolyn Minard, Carolyn Rebik and their teacher was Miss Eckland. Larry Appel- gate got locked in the toy box while looking for his favorite block. Mrs. Smith was our first grade teacher, and the new pupils were Wayne Edberg, Tom Lyon, Dorothy Podhajsky, and Kenneth Hansen. That year we had a play house in the back of the room. Tom Lyon seemed to be the father most of the time. Helen Clime was our second grade teacher. We spent most of our time playing post office. Letters flew back and forth between Larry Konicek and Dorothy Podhajsky. That year Bob Bolt got his mouth washed out with soap. Sylvia Wroughton, Jo Ann Becker, and Gary Fink were the new students in third grade. We had a grocery store in which everyone contributed something. Mrs. Timm was our teacher that year. Our pictures were taken for Christmas cards in the fourth grade. That was the year the girls thought they were old enough to wear lipstick until they got set back a notch by Miss Vorba, our teacher. Mrs. Cawelti was our teacher in the fifth grade. She really kept us busy. We made yule logs at Christmas, Plaques for Mother's Day and paper mache masks for Halloween. A trial was held in sixth grade convicting Johnny Basham and Wayne Edberg of murder. The victims- our prized gold fish. Mrs. Ruth Smith our teacher had quite a bit of patience to put up with our crazy idea of putting on a play written by the students. Gary Fink had a good role, tipping up the cider jug. Larry Appelgate shook the building with his great fall. Miss McDonaugh and Mr. Hockert were our teachers in the seventh grade. Wayne Edberg's face turned all colors when Mr. Hockert hit him on the head with his grade book. In the spring we went on a picnic with the eighth graders held out in Campbell's field. Mrs. Ruth Smith moved up to the eighth grade with us. That year we prepared ourselves for high school. We presented a radio program for the P.T.A. We also learned the Gettysburg Address. We entered high school and thought we were pretty big until the seniors showed us we weren't at initiation. This year will probably be remembered the most. Especially those green beanies and that piece we had to say. As sophomores we had a hay ride. Our boys started their future basketball squad. Our Junior year found us earning money for the Junior-Senior Prom. We were kept busy that year and had lots of fun decorating. Our prom was held May 10, at the gym, with the theme Stairway to the Stars and we danced to the music of Lowell Dutton's band. Our Junior class play, The Curious Savage, proved to be quite a success. As seniors a three act comedy Lo and Behold was presented by the class under the direction of Mr. Feany. We look back on four happy years, having been well represented in all sports and extra- curricular activities each year. Skip Day, April 18, we toured the Prudential Building, Museum of Science and Industry, hadaboat ride on Lake Michigan, and a tour of Chicago in general, Skid Row, Maxwell Street etc. Later we all ate together at a cafeteria and attended a Cinerama movie. The class chose as their colors, blue and white, the class flower, blue and white carnations, and the motto, What we are is God's gift to usg what we become is our gift to God.
