Emkby Bray 1876-1060 ...Dedication With a deep sense of gratitude for the love and devotion tendered this school by the late Mr. T. Emery Bray, the class of 1060 wishes to dedicate this Tattler to him. He served thr school os its chief executive longer than any other superintendent in its history, his administration beginning in 1018 and ending in li� 42. The difficult tasks and problems confronting him he met courageously. The following four lines express his philosophy: Shoulder to shoulder, raeh one in liis place. Shoulder to shoulder and round about face; HV'rc a duty to do ere we prow a day older. And the way we eun do it is shoulder to shoulder. This inspired n unity felt by all members of the school family. His loyalty to the school and efficiency in attending to every detail connected with his office won for him honor, respect and success. After his resignation his frequent visits to the school showed that his keen interest in its welfare and his love for the deaf children had not waned. At his passing we lost a true friend. May the influence of his good work live on. [3] Administration... William M. Milligan, Suprrintrndmt [4] s .ctV -’.o Seated, left to right—Mrs. Esther Burchnm, It.

[ 10] Our Class History By Nicolinu Pcrri Thn tix members of thin claw of 10 0 have for only three years been climbing m� together tn the summit we have now reached, graduation. The climb ha seemed pretty •deep, and several have forsaken it, but we arc glad that we hud the courage to go on. The first one In the claw to In? welcomed at the school wik a chubby little fellow with a round face and wide d|Min eyes. It WM the foil of 1037 when his parents, Mr. md Mrs. Harry Long of Beloit, brought him here. More fortunate than the other little ones entering that year, he understood the sign language, his parents, u brother and two sisters bring deaf. Entering school was no trial for James (Jimmie) as he had been woll informed of what to expect; and, too, those in charge of him in the dormitory and at school hail become acquainted with him thmugh the re|mrtn of his brother and sisters, who hud (■receded him in uttending this school. Much had been ■aid about the cute little brother Jimmie thut would some .lay be enrolled ut the school. According to the report of his first teacher, Mr . Thomas, he come up to expectations. Following the midyear examinations, when he was in the seventh grade, he was promoted to our class, which was then eighth grade. He bus made a splendid Word in s|Mirt an«l has been a very valuable member of the class in journalism, us his copy, owing to his fine penmanship, have always been the most legible. For some time hr has been employed during shop hours at the Republican printing office in Ddavan. Recently, because of his trips to California and Florida we have been calling him the Globe Trotter. The October of thut same year, 1937, a little bluck-eyed Italian girl with jet black hair appeared. It was I, Nicolina (Nickte) Ferri, As my parents, who had brought me hen? by car from Kenosha, were leaving the dormitory, my hoart sank. 1 thought I would never see them again. The older girls and the supervisors tried their last to dry my tears and quiet my crying, which could easily be heard a block away; hut the more they tried, the louder I screamed, and the harder I kicked. And they say I used my teeth for my defense, too. 1 om ashamed of it now. When my parents appeared the next Friday to take mo borne for the week-end, I realized that ! was not separated from them forever. Frequently I s|� ent weekends at home; and when Dad brought me l� ack, a group of little girls always hovered around us to get the candy and gum Pud had brought them. Before coming here. I attended the Krnoahn Pay School for n short time. Mr . 1‘ynn was my first teacher here. My school days have been very happy ones, and I am not glud they are over. A little girl with a turned up nose and freckle was brought here by her purents the Junuury of 1940. Thit was Pori Wiedmcyer. She had been attending public school for two years as she is n hard of hearing girl, hut did not have sufficient hearing to progress. Mrs. Fynn was then teaching first grade mid Poris was p!ac«d in her class. I ori was a quiet shy little miss, and it took her some time to get acquainted. In the dormitory her supreme interest was in her dolly and most of her leisure time was spent making doll clothes. Occasionally when Poris was not around, the other youngster would have fun dressing up her dolly in it numerous costumes, which she hod designed; and upon her return, she would find things not us she left them. This seemed like a sad world to Ikiris then. She still likes to wield the needle, and she is fond of cooking, too. Whenever a question on fanning has arisen in clous, l ori has always been on hand with the right answer. Her courtesy, friendliness, and faim«’ fi have made her a good monitor. In 1940, also, a shy young, hard of hearing, formrr boy, bearing the name. Wayne White, was introduced to W. S. I . Having been unable to hear the teachers and other pupil in the country school, which he had been attending, he hod accomplished little in hi academic studies. Here ways were new to him, hands were Hying, and he could not seem to catch on. So when spring came, thoughts of home, of the spring plowing and seeding just couldn’t be brushed aside. He threatened to pack his trunk and go home, hut school was out early that year so he remained to the end. His interest in learning Imd Ihh'ii amused. At home he road, wrote and made n sincere effort to overcome his great weakness, misspelling words. Th -n the war broke out, ami he was needed on the farm. Not until 1946 did he return. He became a member of our class in the ninth grade. No one else in the class has equaled him in earnestness and effort. This time he learned the sign language and has made u great success at I wing monitor of the boy . I.o t fall for the first time in his life hr shot a buck. Through his thoughtfulness and the kindness of Mrs. Milligan, we seniors with our advisor. Miss Matteson, were served u luscious venison dinner. His shy manner are still with him. To prove this just tell him how good, looking he is and see him blush. We have always thouht that fanning was his forte, but he now informs us that he is going to make a change. In the full of 1944 when we were in the seventh grade, a pretty girl with light hair, all dolled up in pretty tog appeared. It was Athleen Dahl, who had left the Apple-ton Pay School to join us. She lost her hearing when she was five and a half yean old and can speak very well. She is also a whit at lip-reading. One day soon after she arrived, somronc stepped, by accident, on her pretty new shoes, and we found out that Miss Athleen wouldn't stand for any such performance as that. The girls were very careful thereafter not to do anything to mar her pretty thing . Whenever she has taken part in a program, Ivor mother has shown much interest in her and what she was doing by sending her the needed costume . This has always been very much appreciated. Athleen declare she will go on with typing after she leuve school, hut we surmise she will be keeping house. More than once we have seen her tuck away something in her hope chest. In the fall of 1937 Mrs. AM Jones, who was then field-worker for W. S. l „ walked into it country school near Markeaan. The expression on her face showed plainly that she was looking for someone. The teacher callrd up to her u chubby, shy little nine-year old girl, who was hnrd of hearing. Yes, this was Catherine Ziek, and she knew full and well what lay ahead of her us her sister Ruth hud been attending W. S. P. for u short time. Very soon ufter this Catherine was enrolled at the school, l.ikc Mary's little lamb she kept at the hinds of her sister.

[17] AMERICA’S DAIRYLAND [18] Class Prophecy By James Long It wait on n hot July fourth In Pusadcmi that I first heard of the dropping of the hydrogen bomb which exploded In Chicago and destroyed everything within a radius of ISO mile . From that time 1 received no answer u letter I sent my classmate although they had always -en very prompt. One day in I960, while I wo looking through a UlcMOpf at Mount Wilson Observatory with my friend, a scientist, wo noticed what he thought were people on other planet . To my surprise I saw a young man who looked very much like Wayne White on Mara. I thought that the bomb explosion might have hurled my classmates through space onto other planet . .So I decided to fly to every planet where the members of the 1950 rlaoa might he. I decided to make the trip in a rocket plane which another friend had invented. I went up and up, perhaps 10,000 feet. I then had to stop for gas and lunch At that time air gas stations had been set up on many of the smaller planet . After a short rent. I left for Mar and reached there in ubout a half hour. I landed n«-ar a big town and saw people wearing (Hid clothes. I noticed a stranger coming toward me. He looked familiar to me. I found out that it was Wayne White and I asked hint what he did there? He told me that he had a resort and never worked. I visited hi home. It wo modern in every way and had loud colors in modernistic designs on the walls. He had a jet-car and I met liis wife. She was a beautiful blonde and resembled someone I had known at W S D. hut I couldn't think who. After that I started off for another planet, Jupiter, and stopped there. I had trouble with my ship and a stranger came to help me. I found that he was Donald Reinick and asked him where his wife was. (1 was rather curious to see what had become of his romance of school days). He told me that she managed their dairy farm. I asked if she did the farm work instead of him. He replied that she did, as it was the modem thing to do. After we worked for awhile on my plane, I stayed at their home overnight and the next day I left for Saturn. My ship still gava me a little trouble so I stopped at another air gus station and saw a woman who looked familiar to me. I could not stop to talk with her because I had to work on ray plane. A little later I met her and it was Doris Weidmeyer. I asked her what she was doing there. She told me that her hushund ran the gas •station and also told me that they lived in Saturn and commuted every day on a jet-propelled motorcycle with a side-car. Doris drove the motorcycle and he rode in the Hide-car. At closing time we started off for Saturn and stopped at Doris’ home over night. They hud u strange dog, with u horn on its forehead and two tails. It wax nil unusual breed which thrived only on Saturn. I wished I could hove stayed longer u� Saturn is 730 times larger than the earth and there are many interesting places to visit but my vacation was growing short. After leaving there I went up to Uranus, and it took me a long time to reach that planet because it was about four tunes as fur nwuy os Jupiter. A strange storm come up while I was on the way. Long steel shafts like pencil fell ugainst my ship hut I managed to reach Uranus safely. I landed in the strangest town I had ever seen. The j� cople walked like lightning. As I watched the people dashing hack and forth. I saw a woman coming toward me and I knew she was Nicnlina Perri. She and I talked about the members of our senior class and 1 told her about those whom I had seen and how they were getting along. I asked her where her hushund wan. She told me that she hud u hard time catching him became he uI ways whizzed about. 1 asked her how she finally caught him. She replied that she hud to use a rojie to catch him and that she brought him home and tied him to a chair. After visiting them for several days, I left for the earth. I was very tired from dodging about so that I would not be hit by passershy. Foolishly I started in the wrong direction and crashed into Neptune. I found myself slightly injured in my wrecked ship. I couldn't fix it, so 1 decided to stay on Neptune liecause I like the people there better than those on the other planets. I Stayed there forever. It was there I met Catherine Zick, whose home was not far from mine and with whom I planned a silver anniversary for our das in 1975. Class History (Continued from pan 11) She shed many tears, especially when some older girl insisted that she eat what was on her plate at meal time. She was assigned to Mr . Pynn's class, which was first grade, and continued her school work here up to the ninth grade. That year an offer of a position in a hospital lured her away. When attending the graduation exercises of her das in 1947, a deep-seated desire to finish school came to the front and—when Cathy once make up her mind, things move. The following fall we welcomed her as a member of our cluss. Alas! last fall when we returned to school, we were mt?t with the shocking and saddening nows, Catherine Zick has polio and can’t return to school. The rest of the year we waited anxiously for reports on her condition and April 10 we were happy, indeed. to have her return to graduate with us, proring that where there is a will, there is n way.” And now our school days at W. S. D. are over. Many thank we owe to those who have patiently helped us climb up to the top. We do weep over our many failures and laugh at the remembrance of many happy times together, the games, the parties, the treks, the organization festivities and, most of all, our association with friends, people Interested in our welfare. With hearts full of gratitude we say. “Butina sera. the Italian for good bye.
