Class History Ry Jennie Marino THE first member of this class to enter school was Robert Holmlund. but he did not stay long then as he was ill much of the time. Some time later a small Kiri with big. brown eyes and black bangs, all dolled up in white, came to take her place among the little ones. This was our artist-to-be, Betty Lou Jahn, a shy little miss, who was afraid of the million—so it seemed—faces about her. Betty Lou spent her first summer vaction here with Mr. and Mrs. Bray and their family. Only a tiny tot then, Betty Lou became very fond of Peter, the Bray’s German police dog and Peter was devoted to her too. One day Betty Lou nad a nut that she was unable to crack so she put it into Peter’s mouth and in a moment she had a cracked nut. The fall of 1932 brought four little tots who have remained faithfully through the years. Annette Hering was a freckle-faced little lady who soon acquired the nick-name of “Freckles” which has followed her through the years she has been here. She had many toys and other things which the girls liked to borrow. She was always generous and friendly so she made everyone happy. At first she liked this place very much but later she became homesick and returned to her home and spent one year at the La Crosse Day School. Lawrence Stafford, who now tips the scale at two hundred pounds will be remembered as a “skinny” little fellow who came slowly up the walk in black short pants. His hair was just as curly as it is now, but he was a bit more shy. William Binn came the same day as neatly attired as he is today and perhaps even more quiet. A friendship which began at the sand-pile still continues at the linotype machine and about the campus. Great excitement among the students greeted the coming of redheaded, freckle-faced, peppy, “twin” boys who turned out to be Joe Zinkovich and his younger brother, Fritz. Since they preferred the trout streams of the northwoods to “civilization”, and feared they were leaving the former forever, they made the trip from Medford to Delavan very interesting for Mr. Dunn and their fellow passengers on the train. When Jenny Marino's parents brought her here to school and were leaving the dormitory, Jenny bit the supervisor’s hand and screamed loudly, as she didn’t want the supervisor to hold her. She always wanted to be tall so she decided to ask a doctor for some medicine to make her grow. However, when she entered his office her shyness prevented her from asking for it and she is still nicknamed “Shorty”. In 1936 Elaine Novak, a very mischievous lassie with sparkling brown eyes, came to join the class. It was hard for the supervisors to manage our Elaine at first and she occasionally tried to run away 27
