It has been through your hard work and constant effort that you have reached this achievement. I know that the good habits of industry, loyalty and punctuality will make you good citizens. The faculty and staff join me in wishing for you health, wealth, and hap pines. bexHicatian MRS. DORA 1.0WK The Class of 1953 wishes to dedicate this issue of The Tattler to our beloved and motherly, Mrs. Dora Lowe, who has been principal here for twenty-two years and during all i.ur school years except the last. We cannot any how sorry we were to have her retire as we feel that ordinary expressions of regret seem cold and conventional. Mrs. Lowe was always glad to help the pupils with their problems and was a born teacher with a deep understanding of the deaf. In appreciation of her years of service ami what it has meant to us we dedicate the 1953 Tattler. State Idminid'uUian hox. Walter j. kohlkr. jr Governor FRANK V. POWELL Pi HECTOR.

Since the CIkm. one year, number?1 seven-teen, we might say “hotter hy the dozen”. How-over, iomi of the room in Walker Hall have been quite Inadequate for the twelve of us thin year. Oura is the largest claa to graduate from W. S. P. for mnny year . The member of the Clxut . Itukl from all |� a� 1 of Wisconsin and hove entered school at various time . Milton Lee and Hetty Sanderson have traveled along together foi thi' longest period of time, from thsf -econd grnde on. I.uciltc Maser was the first to enroll nt Ute school. She entered when hr was very young. She had fr� m the fnmott chcrse-mulelng region. Green County; and at one time she gave u the oppot tuntity of finding out how delirious Wisconsin Chcaae really is, by bringing u hie wedge of Wi • evn in Swim Cheese fur u to .ample. it teemed to take Lurillc sometime to feel nt home nt W. S. I). At fin� t she had crying ■pell’ I'he find few yo.tr hen', oho made a doily trip to the hospital for a cla. of milk and u nap a he Most of the time she has been in a manual cla« and for � m« time wo the only girl in her da.« Her hobby la fishing, and her fl h tories beat even Jdr. Neesnm’s. Yet, holier it or not, ho never cal fiait. Buford Hunter, who i a hunter by n n-.e and nature, was the next one to enter. He also wan a member of a manual das for vora1 year . During the deer hunting Maun Buford ho Urged a week off with the promise that he would bring us bo me venison if he hogged a deer. We are •till waiting for the venison. When one doeen’t know how to turn lights on nr off in Hannan H:.ll, if something almost anywhere needs fixing, or if a tittptrvfaior needs help with the little boy , the cry gat out. “Where Buford?” He In W.

Both ho and Lucid joined oui ornl twelfth grade In September of thlr In 11 38 Betty GorkoWikJ, Jean Jenkins, and Violet Krickson appeared on the none.

She has been employed at the same home in Pdavan on Saturday for five years which apeak well of her ability in Imu-cheeping. So far «he seem to have no irpc.-ia! interest in boya, but we shall just wait and nee. The spring heforo Jean Jenkins entered, hi i folk brought her hen' for a v«it; and h- Ixti: Irmdlv to the place; no when she wo enrolled in tha fall, she won quite reconciled to her new quartern. A.i her home in in Waukesha, she hn frequent-iy gone home for week-end . Jean i always in n hurry; and now that alie has learned C� drive u ear, her speed halt increased. No douht she will soon be driving a jet. Nobody know just why � he is in •urh a hurry. It muni ho that she ho caught the spirit of the time . Violet Krirkson has won her way into thn hearl.i of many with her sweet «nn!e, twinklirif; eyre and thoughtfulrir of other . After � he had been at Pay School, but returnd hero in 1047. At our get-together he in n-unity the life of the party. She Jj now president nf the Clnt and president of the Ariadna Society. When the eouvrUnatlon runn to Aperts, he exclaims, “OhI if I were only a boy!” ami we wager that if she were, we would win more often In football and basketball. In the summer of IStigf a family in Dawning were considering sending their little deaf boy t the Kou Claire Day Sch.ml. when Mm Jones, then Mb William , dropped in and told them about thi . chnnl. The decision was made and the fallowing fill. Milton Lee was enrolled. He say the iron Jenrc around the campus distressed him. It gnw him a feeling of being imprisourd.

In the fall of 1946 the school welcomed fan el Kluck, who hud been attending the Marshfield Day School. Mina Kinolf often said ihe “had a little soad-ow that ran In and out with her . It was the listie snapping, black-eyed Janet. She hu been a shining light in physical education and has trained the reputation of beinjc ii very good and swift worker. Hut how she love to tease! In September, 1948, Ann Marie Mania enrolled. She transferred from the laiphnm Day School in her home city. Madison. Her good speech, ability to read lips, and eagerness to learn delighted the teachers, and her friendliness captured the admiration of u« all. She soon won the interest and affection of one special one; and we are guessing that Ann will not he single very long. The other day we overheard someone say, “Ann I a dandy girl , nnd we agree. She has been elected from Queen for this year. In November of that same year, 1948, all ayes were turned on an attractive new girl with a pretty face nnd n business like air. It s Mnrdene Merlin from the Marshfield Day School , was the report that quickly spread. Her gruious manner won friends among both the ! oys and the girls at once. No other girl looks more graceful on the dance floor than Mardene, and on n horse «he ha a stately appearance. In 1949 imind-faced, kinky-hnired Gilbert Meyer left the fuul Dinner School in Milwaukee to join the ranks of W. S. D. He has served iu a guard in basketball and well deserves his W . He is quite hard of hearing, but has been able to get reports of games over the radio and T. V. arid has interpreted them, much to the satisfaction of the boys. He will be greatly missed. The latest arrival is Marlene Schroeder. who came in January, 1950. She was very soon promoted from eighth grade to ninth. Before enrolling here, she hud attended the Day School for the Deaf in Fond du Lac and Oshkosh. Her modest, retiring ways, her willingness to serve and her painstaking and accuracy have paved the way, we feel -ure, for a successful future. She was crowned homecoming queen in 1952. Now. very soon we hull be traveling in a dozen different ways. Fond memories of the part we played in preparations for the Junior Prom and Junior-Senior Banquet of 1962, of the literary society ami assembly programs, of the enjoyable and In tractive trips, and of counties-, other pleasurable activities nil through the years will go with us to brighten our paths. Oh! no, we are not forgetting the hard knocks, nor those whose untiring efforts have enabled us to reach this goal. Our hearts are filled with gratitude for these, too. We feel we are fortified to meet the harder problms ahead. We ask God’s guilance for ourselves, nnd for the school and its staff, that we are leaving behind. • • • GlaAA P vajiltec By fyioict C ichitMi 1‘ortlmui. Orofcon Dear Joy.
