THE WINNEB Time Marches Oil Class History September 1943—a day to remember. Twenty-six boys and girls assembled in Winnebago High School. For most of them the place was new and it was indeed a very confusing day. After our first party which was the traditional freshmen initiation in which the seniors beamed with pride, we all began to feel at home. When we began to know one another we electd our officers for the first semester. They were President, Bob Peterson; Vice President, Martin McDonald; Secretary, Mary Tritle; and Treasurer, Bob Gilbert. Mrs. Davis, our adviser, accompanied us on the parties that we held during the year. Our second semester officers were President, Martin McDonald; Vice President, Mary Tritle; Secretary, Elizabeth Ferro; Treasurer, Charlotte Null and Student Council members, Audrey Hassel and John Statdfield. September 1944—Our sophomore year began with Miss Carlson as our adviser. Feeling better acquainted with the school, many of us joined girls' and boys' chorus, mixed chorus, sextet, quartet, Quill Staff, clubs, and some of the boys went out for ath- letics. Our officers were President, Helen Polkowski; Vice President, Doris Christen; Secretary-Treasurer, Mary Tritle; and Student Council members, Helen Polkowski and David Newman. We held a bake sale which was the beginning of our money earning ideas. September 1945—The beginning of the third successful year of high school. We were fortunate in having Mrs. Cornish as our adviser. Our chief aim for the year was the Junior-Senior prom and banquet. Money for the prom was made by selling maga- zine subscriptions and selling candy and pop at the home games. A Christmas dance was held in December. The theme for the prom was A Flower Garden and the gym was decorated in blue and white with a false ceiling. The Chansonettes provided music for dancing. Our rings were selected with the understanding that we would receive them when Seniors. Our officers for the year were President, Rodney Clinite; Vice President, Myrtle Smith; Secretary-Treasurer, Mary Tritle; and the Student Council members, Lois Poppen and Rodney Clinite. September 1947—At last we reached the close of our four years of high school. Officers elected were President, Henry Strakeljahn; Vice President, Shirley Gustafson; Secretary-Treasurer, Helen Polkowski; and Student Council members, Elizabeth Ferro, Henry Strakeljahn, and Bruce Hodges. With the patience of our adviser, Mrs. Kasch, we have produced for you the 47 Winneb which we have tried to make better than any before. Our class motto is From a little spark may burst a mighty flame.” Our class colors are maroon and white and our class flowers are white roses and wine carnations. Much praise should be given to our D.A.R. winner. Myrtle Smith; our vocalist, Lois Poppen; our athletes, Martin McDonald and John Statdfield; our Quill and Winneb editor, Helen Polkowski; our president, Henry Strakeljahn and most of all to Mrs. Kasch, our adviser, for these people have made our class outstanding. Our four years of hard work have reached a climax and it has come time to say farewell to our schoolmates and teachers for we are leaving the Winnebago school where we have just begun our education for the future. Before leaving let us say Thank you to the school board, faculty, janitors and to the mothers and fathers of the 47” class, for these people have made our graduation possible. With the guidance of our Lord let each and everyone of us prove worthy receivers of our diplomas. As we go out into a new world today let us all strive in our chosen profession to make a brighter tomorrow.
