SENIGRS Mm-A On September 6, 1946, a class of freshmen numbcring sixty-six entered City High School. The offi- cers chosen under the guidance of Miss Krause and Mr. Wyse were Ralph Frisco, president, Rusty Fero, vice-president, and Donna Cooper, secretary-treasurer. Many of our number were found in extra-curricular activities. A new organization known as the junior Cheerleading Club was made up almost entirely of freshmen girls. Ray Steck became a senior cheerleader. Our sophomore year found us with the reputation of the do nothingn class. At our first class meet- ing we chose Jack Platner as president: Bud Ardelt, vice-president, and Ernie Regelein, as secretary- treasurer. We did manage to enter a float in the Homecoming parade, but it was agreed that it would win only a booby prize. As we began one of our most important years in high school Miss Kanable was appointed to serve as adviser, along with Mr. Wyse. Ernie Regelein was elected president, with Bud Ardelt as vice-president and Lucille Nowak as secretary-treasurer. Our first big thrill was selecting class rings. The junior class was active in athletics, band, choir, G.A.A., F.F.A., Hi-Y, forensics, newspaper and debate. Pat Pie- per and Shirley Elphick did their share of keeping the cheerleading going. The class sponsored several mixers, among them a novelty, the Soc Hop. In April came the annual Junior Prom. the biggest event of the year. The theme, Stairway to the Starsji was effectively carried out, with King Ernie Regelein and Queen Lucille Nowak reigning over the event. Dorothy Hill and Bud Ardelt were presented spoon and spade respectively, by the class of 1949. Dorothy Hill attended Badger Girls' State at Madison, while Ray Steck attended Badger Boys' State at Ripon. Finally the last and most important year arrived, with Mr. Hall as class adviser. Jerry Liden, Eloice Loughead, and Red Markham were elected class officers. To the tune of Let's Take an Old Fashioned Walk King Bud Ardelt crowned Dorothy Hill as queen of the 1949 Homecoming. A winter formal, A Dreameris Holiday, was sponsored by the senior class in january. A good time was had by all who attended. Under the direction of Mrs. Gertrude Kuehn, the senior class presented the play, Junior Miss, Judy, junior miss, was ably characterized by Yvonne Enright. The D.A.R. Good Citizen award was given to Edith Rye. The senior class, ardent supporters of the student council, did much toward its organization. The representatives of the class to the council were Edith Rye, Jerry Liden, and Bud, Ardelt, with the latter elected president of the organization. As graduation time drew near, we, the members of the senior class felt a deep regret in leaving the school where we had spent four of the most pleasant years of our lives. Page Sev 011
