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

Class Prophecy By George Grant After ten gruelling years with the Quality Printing of Racine, Wisconsin, decided in September, 1961, to take a tour of the United States. 1 packed my needs in my atomicmobile which could travel either on the road or in the air and was powered by atomic pills. As soon I had driven from Racine to New York City, I got a newspaper from a slot machine, I found that there would be a wrestling match at Madison Square Garden that night. At the Garden, the Masked Marvel was wrestling with the World Champion. Most of the specators were for the hooded grap-pler who got a hold on the champ and won the bout The manager of the Garden announced that the wrestlers' identity would soon be revealed. I was amazed to hear that he was David Carlson, former Gal-laudet wrestling star. I noticed a girl who looked familiar to me, sitting with a man not far from me so I went over. To my surprise, it was Ruth Tuinstra, a former classmate, and her escort was Leonard Peacock, then a teacher and coach at Western Pennsylvania. Then I decided to spend one month in California before returning to my home state. In December I attended the basketball game at the Cow Palace between the 1960 N. B. A. champions, the Sheboygan Redskins and the famed. Red Heads. In the program, I discovered Lesetta Ten Eyck's name. I was quite proud as she had scored 39 points to win 106-58. After the game we planned the silver anniversary celebration of our graduation for 1976, the year we also will celebrate the 200th birthday of our country’s independence. Class Will By Lesetta Ten Eyck We, the Class of 1951, of the Wisconsin School for the Deaf at Delavan, being aware of the short time left of our school life, do hereby make establish and declare this to be our last will and testment. Before any bequests arc made we request that our just debt of gratitude to our beloved superintendent, for the many nice plans be has made for us and to his helpers for their interest in us, be paid. A8 a class we bequeath to the class of 1952 all the good times and honors which come to seniors, to say nothing about the hard work on the '‘Tattler” and the responsibilities which come our way. The following individual bequeste we wish to make to some of the students who will follow in our footsteps: George Grant leaves his interest in sports writing for the Times to Cloyd Porter; his skill in handling girls to Milton Lee; his ability in using his eyes to Violet Erickson; his knowledge of history to Allen Black-more; his taste in clothes to Marvin Anderson; and his interest in printing to James Perhai. Lesetta Ten Eyck wills her beautiful handwriting to Donna Mae Milton; her leadership in cheering to Catherine Schara; her interest in being a monitor to Gloria Perhai; her clearness in signing to Janet Kluck; and her good English to Betty Sanderson. Ruth Tuinstra leaves her ability in sports to Mardene Berlin; her faithful work habits to Alice Riegert; her slenderness to Saimi Bakkila; her neatness to Pat Kohler; and her love of fudge to Joan Szejna. In witness Whereof, we hereunto set our hand on this day of June 1951. Page 30
