lass Hi tory . L We entered Oconto Falls High School in 1947, a crew of green Freshies beginning our high school career. Our class officers for this -new year were:President, Jerry BramschreibergVice-President, Connie Sherman, Secretary, Eileen Elliott, Treasurer, Ted Hornick. ff We ran around school trying to get to the right class at the right time while the upperclassmen just laughed at us. The first important thing we ran across was Homecoming. We played Sturgeon Bay. The slogan of our float was Make Them Wfhjine. We were entertained at a Freshman-Sophomore party, given for us bythe Sophs. At the end of the year, we had a class picnic at Kelly Lake We had a nice time and just about everyone went swimming fwith their clothes on, even if they'didn't plan on it. Our officers during our Sophomore year were: President, Ted Hornickg Vice-President, Dan Wessleyg Secretary, Jerry Bramschreiberg Treasurer, John Knudson. We were supposed to welcome the new Freshmen by giving them a party, but isome- how or other, we never got around to it. Homecoming. this year was really special be- cause we played our rivals, Oconto. Our float in the Homecoming parade was Oconto Falls is the Best Man . We ordered our class rings this year. - The class election results in our Junior year were: President, John Knudsong Vice- President, Pat Plain, Secretary, Eileen Elliott, Treasurer, Dan Wessley. First we received our class rings, and then came Homecoming. It was very success- ful for we tied Sturgeon Bay 7 to 7 and won first prize on our Queen's float for beauty and first prize on our class float, The Bay's Waggin' Behind the Falls for origniality. We were really surprised to win aprize on our class float as we didn't have any idea of what to use until the day of the parade. We sponsored the Homecoming Dance for which Paul Peterson furnished the music. The main event of theyear was the Junior Prom. Cliff Hoene was contracted for the music and the theme was An Enchanted Evening. Reigning over the dance were Dan Wessley and Betty Lue Carriveau. We finally reached the top. Our Senior officers were: President, JerryBramschreiberg Vice-President, Dan Wessleyg Secretary, Betty Lue Carriveau, Treasurer, Norene An- derson. - Our last year began with a mad rush. Our class float for Homecoming, Let's Trap Those Wolvesz, won second prize. The game was against Algornag Dan Wessley was Home- coming King and Susie Grosse, a Junior, was chosen Queen. It was just one exciting event after another toward the close of our Senior year. Sen- ior Skip Day was loads of ,I fun for us and for the teachers we left behind. Our Senior Rtrip to Chicago was something we will always remember. It was even more fun than we A fp had hoped. All of us who worked on the Panther felt a IF surge of triumph when we saw the finished product. The I LQ girls had an introduction into society when they attended X sl the Senior Tea. And then came the most wonderful event . ti 1 of all--graduation. 17
