THE 1956 TATTLER 17 Class History The (1 M of 1956, from the beginning, ho been n very Ivgv on© and, as the years went by, it grew larger and Inrger when students transferred from other schools to our . For this reason, as long as we ran remember, the class has been divided into two sections. Carol Hanson will tell about the history of her section and Helen I.eBel will tell about hers. The first member of Carol's present class to be enrolled was a mischievous, little follow with a round face and blond hair who came In 1940. He felt at home immediately, because he had an older sister here. Chnrles is n good-natured, broad-shouldered lad and u fine athlete, one of our best basketball and football player . There was one time In his early teens when he wished he knew more about plumbing and work in a body shop. Two years later Carol came with the same smile on her chuhby, freckled face that we see today. She seldom got in trouble in the dormitory or in school. Therefore she was deeply hurt one day when Shirley signed Shame! Shame! to her for some reason or other. In a flash she came forth with a right to Shirley's nose. Thi year she has been president of the Senior class and of the O. A. A. and was elected Homecoming Queen. In the fall of 1946 when the other pupils came by K« , car and train, a now lad. a shy, quiet fellow came flying to the Lake l awn airstrip with his father. It was Richard Craikowski who had left the Marshfield Day School after four years there. When he arrived at our school and saw so mnny husky athletic fallows,he was afraid, but he soon learned that he had nothing to fear from the older boys. He ha made much progress here. In the fall of 1947 Linda and Ann Ixiuise arrived and entered Mrs. Stewart’ class. Ann was a tall slender girl with lovely blond hair. She had attended the IotCrosse Day School before her mother decided to send her here. When she saw the big buildings on her arrival, she thought she had come to a college her cousin attended. However, on entering the girls' dormitory and seeing girls of nil ages, she was relieved. She ha l cen a very busy, capable young lady here and was elected prom queen this year. Linda was an nctiv© little miss until T. V. came to WSD. She hnd spent several years at the Lnphnm School in Madison. She will never forget her first night here. Several of the little girls took advantage of the supervisor's absence for a moment and jumped up and down on their beds. They were caught in the act, but all tried to avoid being punished by blaming Linda who was new. This really made Linda nngry and she gave one more good jump before she scrambled under the covers. When Linda l n’t watching T. V., you can find her busy with her stamp collection. In 1952. a tall blond lad from Milwaukee joined the class. Many student took him for John Goetz. He had graduates! from the eighth grade at St John’s School for the Deaf in Milwaukee and wanted to take up high school work here. Like Chnrles. our Joe is an all an all around athlete. The fall of 1953 completed our class when a wavy- haired lad moved to Janesville with hi parent . He hnd formerly lived in lown and atended school at Council Bluffs. Hi name is Leon Klein and he is a quiet chap. When he first came, he wan shocked at the poor condition of xome of the building und is glad to see improvement on the way. Last came Harry. Strangely enough, he hnd never heard of thi school until some of hi schoolmate at Superior decided to make a change. On hi first day here, he went out for football. He was nuprined to nee the children signing and vowed he wouldn’t use the sign language. He' a great reader, a good athlete, an earnest student and an all nround good fellow. Helen was brought to school by her parents, when she wan five. She wan n nhy little lady and wan afraid when the little girls crowded around and watched her no closely. Minn Kinolf wan very fond of Helen and gave her coins sometime . Helen like the idea. So when other girl ’ parents came, she (continued on page 61) Address of Welcome liy Ga ol Aa vio t Mr. Powell, Superintendent Milligan, our teachers, staff members, parents and friends: We, the class of 1956, wish to welcome you to thc»e, the 85th commencement exercises of the Wisconsin for the Deaf. We are very glad that o many of you have joined u on thi day, o important to U(L We senior girl feel ourselves fortunate to have lived in the remodelled Ariadna Hall our last year. All of the room in this building are beautiful, a symphony of color. We arc sure that when the boys’ buildings are completed, they will be as lovely as Ariadna Hall. As building after building is improved, we will be more and more proud of our school. Our class motto. Not finished, just begun.” shows that we wnnt to loam more and more when we leave WSD. We know that we will never top learning, but we feel it is our duty to go onward a fast a we can. It is hard for u to believe that tomorrow we have to go forth to meet life’s buttle . May we all look to God to help us meet the difficulties in our future. Our school days are over and we want to give our sincere thanks for the kindness and patience of our superintendent, teachers and counselors. We wish to express thanks to everyone who has helped u during our school years. We hop© you will all feel that we arc worthwhile young people who will become good citizens. We bid you farewell, but not good-bye forever.
