{'to Uf JJapfUf 2) Of of these tiny in the near future, we shall hear of a ' QuyH carrying her off. 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.
