Vocational (ironp CAR!. MUELLER KRVIN KORTH Nirtnah RICHARD TARKKR Milwaukee Class History The members of the (Mass of 1940 have come from the four corners of the state. They represent seven different nationalities and all but five were born on farms and lived there until of school age. Like true Americans they “were cast into the melting pot” and have come out a tine group in every respect. This class began to make history in 1927 for in that year there came to the Wisconsin School for the Deaf a pink-cheeked, round-eyed boy of seven. This was Raymond Rasmus of Chippewa Falls. Raymond has been a leader among the boys for many years. He says. I have learned that one can progress better if one knows how to carry responsibilities.” In 1931 Ruth Cataract arrived from a public school at Sparta. Ruth found the routine of this school quite different from anything she had ever known. It was not long, however, before she found her place here and then became rather outstanding in swimming and homemnking. Then came Hubert Seidel of Milwaukee. Hubert had been quite a rolling stone before 1933. having attended five different schools. His first years here. Hubert claims, were not the easiest or the happiest of his life, but since he has learned to co-operate with others every thing seems different, and he finds his schoolmates the best in the world. Hubert has worked hard at printing and with great success. No one can be more fond of reading than Hubert. 1935 was a very kind year to the school, for that fall three very interesting young ladies decided to enroll as students. Helen Hockert and Florence Mojack from Rice I.ake day school and Ruth Schmidt from the school at Oshkosh. These fun loving girls have played an important part in the life of the school and will not be quickly forgotten. In 1936 Raymond Kessenich entered the class coming from Madison. Raymond had not been in school long before ho had won quite a name for himself in basketball. In 1938 the roll was completed by the coming of Marcene Schmit of Milwaukee and Gladys Davies of Platteville. Gladys with her sunny smile and Marcene, dreaming of things that some day might be, found the class ready to welcome them and make them feel at home. This has been an interesting class. The class colors are Gold and Brown. The motto. “No Success Without Labor.
