We LooKed in Early '30 Class History By Ruth Tuinttra Three young people are completing their high school work in the class of 1951 although nine entered high school. Lesctta and Ruth have “pulled together since the fourth grade, and George Grant joined them the next year. Lesctta Ten Eyck, slender, freckled and auburn-haired, made her appearance on the campus in 1940. Red” had attended Brodhead Public School and Lapham Day School before she attended this school at the age of eight. Because of her good English, she has been secretary of almost every girls' organization. She cannot be ruahed, but takes time for every thing she does. Although she learned to sign at home, she is a very good lip-reader and usually speaks instead of signing. She has been cheerleader for four years. In her junior year she was Homecoming Queen. George Grant of Racine came to us from St. Johns' Institute for the Deaf. He was a mischcvious fellow with no end of ideas and interests. He has, slowly but surely, become a very fine young man. He has been active in football and basketball and has been an outstanding sports writer for ‘The Wisconsin Times . This year George was Prom King. Ruth Tuinstra also hailed from Racine. She has always loved her school, her teachers and her friends. As a child Ruth was delicate and was not allowed to take part in rough play. As she grew up, she became very active in sports and has gone all out” for volley ball, basketball, baseball, etc. She was Prom Queen this year. We shall always remember our school days here, and we feel very grateful to those who have done so much for us. Page 29
