Another brg event was the choosing of a class ring. We A G L REACHED It seems only a short time ago that we entered high school and now we are graduating Four grand and glorious years have sped by filled with work and fun hopes and ideals for tomorrow When entering high school in September 1944 our class had all the characteristics of freshmen We were green and confused But not too green to elect good class officers They were president Richard Larson vice president Lou Ann Schloemer and secretary treasurer Pat Kaempfer Our candidate for vice president of the Student Council Tom Thorson was elected after vigor ous campaigning September 1945 found us no longer new to the school routine now we were sophomores Our class officers this year were president Darwin juech vice president George Sherman and secretary treasurer Fred Eickman As sophomores we were active in sports some of our boys being on the football team We were also active in clubs and on the Clipper staff Two of our class Lou Ann Schloemer and Richard Larson were instrumental in bringing the debate championship of the Little Ten back to West Bend High We were very proud of our c ass September 1946 We were upperclassmen now with president Darwin Iuech vice president ohn Falter and secretary treasurer Ken Pauer to guide us Again Lou Ann and Richard helped bring the debate championship home and also reached second place in the National Forensic League and state contests oanne Dewey won first place in the American Legion Essay Contest The girls elected to attend Badger Girls State were oanne Dewey Ann Kreckhafer Iris Riley Dorothy Gumm Pat Kaempfer Mary Lhotka Betty Anderson and Lou Ann Schloemer We were more active in sports this year Many junior boys were on the football team and active in baseball basketball track and nearly every other sport And we can t forget the girls in G A A and the cheerleaders junior fioats placed in the homecoming parade and we had a junior for queen Evelyn Kudek chose a ring called the Royal Crown and wore it proud- ly. The biggest event of the entire year was of course the prom. We chose Black Magic as the theme. Reign- ing over the prom were King Darwin uech and ueen Arlette Mehlos who together with the court made the affair a beautiful and never-to-be-forgotten night. The one event saddening our junior year was the death of Roger Wiedmeyer who died during the sum- mer of his junior year. Everyone who knew him misses rm. Then came September 1947 and there was no class above us now. A year busy with pictures, the Bend the class play, and commencement sped us along. After a lot of hard work, our class play, Best Foot Forward Suv' john Falter President ftopj Arlette Mehlos Secretary treasurer Vernon Schwichtenberg Vice president Senior Honor Roll Anderson Betty Bauer Clifford Bolhalter June Callres Quinton Dewey Joanne Falter ohn onas Marilyn Koch Jacqueline Iarson Richard Martin Laverne Phrlippi Edward Ruefenacht Ronald Schloemer Lou Ann was successfully presented. This year we won the ofhce of president of the student senate electing jack Wen- inger to represent the seniors. Our class officers this year were president john Fal- ter' vice-president Vernon Schwichtenberg' secretary- treasurer Arlette Mehlos. Again we were active in sports clubs and forensics. Chosen as D.A.R. girl of West Bend High was Betty Anderson. In just a few days now we will be graduates and have only pleasant memories of our high school days. Some of us will be going to college, and some of us will not. Nevertheless, as each one of us receives his diploma, he will look forward to a happy life in a better tomorrow.
