My ain't that something how our kids get a ride to school everyday? Does this conversation sound fa- miliar? lf it does, then you, along with your parents, will be interested to learn the following facts about the bus transportation to Senior High. The school buses cover the towns of Berlin, Maine, Stettin, Rib Mountain, Wausau, Texas, Easton, and Hewitt. These buses are driven by very competent driv- ers who are genuinely interested in their work of trans- porting students. There is a total of fourteen drivers, plus one or two substitutes for each operator. Eight of these drivers have had the vocational driver training course. The drivers who have had this training are the following: Ervin Hieronimus, Al Mielke, John Anklam, R. H. Gohdes, lyle Weeden, Ben Moser, Dennis Bliese, and Marcus Lemke. ln addition to this Marcus Lemke, who owns five of the fourteen buses, holds a tive-year no accident Driver Award from the state motor vehicle department and a four-year card from the National Safety Council. The main requirement for a school bus driver is that he must be a competent driver and be twenty-one years of age. At the present time 626 stu- dents are transported daily with the buses covering a total of 886 miles per day within a 25 mile radius. So in the future, when Ma or Pa makes some com- ment about How lucky you kids are to get a ride to school everyday, you will be able to reply, We know, and we are thankful to all of the people con- cerned.

,-as 'D Lynn Manicke, Norman Marks, Tom Kellboch, Mr. Woods. Hi, Seniors, lt's been a long but a short three years, hasn't it? Remember when we, as Sophomores, entered this huge building with its long corridors, hard-to-find cafeteria rooms and its strange faces? Remember how all the other students were bigger, more confi- dent, and thoroughly entertained by the little green Sophomores? And ofcourse, don't forget the words of encouragement that were designed to make us up on the shelf feel more comfortable. lt was not too long, however, before we too be- came a part of the big family housed by Wausau Senior High. As Juniors we took part, whole-heart- edly, in all school activities. Don't forget the Junior SENIORS CLASS OFFICERS Secretary-Treasurer ........ Lynn Manicke Vice President . . . . Norman Marks President .... . . Tom Kellbach Advisor . . . . Mr. Woods Girls' Formal and the Junior Prom plus all the mem- orable experiences that constitute one's iunior year in high school. Then, as if overnight, we found ourselves Seniors and toiled harder than ever to make our Senior Class Play, The School for Scandal, the best play ever. We worked hard to raise our grades and at- tain the high level of achievement everyone desires. At one time, we as Seniors, thought of high school life as a thing of the future or a thing of the present. Now it is a thing of the past. All of us will always possess a feeling of pride, warmth, and gratitude as we remember when we were students at Wausau Senior High.
