As mayor of Wrightstown he invited me to the huge oarade and reunion of the Class of 52 . Yes, we have been out of school for nine¬ teen years, but fond memories remain. I immediately phoned DARLENE BROWN, who was also in New York running a modeling school, and we made plans to go- back home together. We left New York by olane at 11:40 a.m. and arrived in Milwaukee at 3:30 p.m. We immediately went to the deoot and boarded the train for Wrightstown. To our surprise we recognized another former classmate on the train—none other than TERRY BRICK v ho was also going to the reunion. We had a very nice chat and he told us that ' he is still single and is coaching football at a small high school near Milwaukee, and that he enjoys it very much. Before we knew it, we were in Wrightstown. As we stepped off the train we couldn ' t help seeing the banners hanging across the street saying, WELCOME HOME—GOVERNOR DUESCHER. 3ob was Just elected Governor and was coming home for the reunion. We started on down the street and passed a lady I thought I recognized, so I stopped and found that it was another one of our classmates, the former EVELYN BRITTNACHER. She told me she has been married to TOM KUSSOW for seventeen years and they now have five children—the oldest is in high school. As we hadn ' t eaten since we left Mew York, we stopoed at a restaurant by the name of Carol ' s Kitchen. To our surprise it was operated by a former classmate CAROL LAMERS. We chatted for a while and she told me that DELORIS VERHEYEN and her husband have gone to visit their son at West Point, but expect to be back for the reunion tomorrow. While we were eating two other classmates strolled in for a bite. ROSANNE VAN LANEN who is now head nurse at Wisconsin General Hospital in Madison, and DOROTHY LAMERS who is President of the Green Bay Badger Business College. Dolly said that she is still looking the field over, and is in no hurry to get married. The three of us decided to go riding, so we headed towards Asketon, which made me think of JOHN FINNEGAN. They said they would take me to see him. We arrived at St. Patrick ' s Church in Asketon and Dolly told me that John is now a priest there, and the oeople like him very much because he is a full-blooded Irishman and has such a sense of humor. It took a few minutes to get over the shock and then we had a nice visit with John and continued on our Journey. We passed a big dairy farm with many cattle in the field, and I was told it belonged to LOREE BAUMGARTENER and his wife, the former ENOLA HUNTINGTON. They said they were very happy especially Enola after waiting ten years to get him. We returned home and re¬ tired, for the next morning was the big parade. The governor and the first lady, PAT SMITH DUESCHER rode at the head of the parade. The principal of Wrightstown High School was also in the parade and was none other than LLOYD GUSSERT. I had a chance to speak with Lloyd and he told me that he is now trying to get half days of school, but the Superintendent of Schools in Brown County, ROLAND ARNOLDUSSEN is against it. Lloyd says it seems so funny to teach children of his former classmates, and is beginning to feel old. The reunion was that same evening and there was one hundred percent attendance. (Just like the old days in Wrightstown High). While chatting with CAROLINE SPIETZ I found that she was Queen of the Bareback Riders but touring the country with the rodeo became too monotonous, so five years ago she married Ronny. -12- LOIS G-ERONDALE was at the reunion with her husband and she told me that she and Billy are running a suoer-market in Holland- town. She also gives dancing lessons on the s5de. I moved on to the next table and I recognized DR. ROLAND RUNNOE. He told me that he is a Psychologist in the Combined Locks, where he lives with his wife and family. I saw a lady with a notebook and I thought she was a reporter, but I looked a-little closer and saw that It was DARLENE VAN DYKE. Darlene told me that she is the Society Editor for the Wrightstown Times. The reunion was a big success, and it gave each one of us a chance to renew old acctuain- tances. The next day, I, ZITA VERHASSELT, boarded a olane bound for Nev York where I had to start in the grind again as Press Editor of the Seventeen magazine. CLASS HISTORY It was during the sunny days of September 19 8 , that these twenty-four excited and strangely bold Freshmen entered that re¬ nowned place of learning, Wrightstown High School. Under the leadership of Mrs. Smith, they soon exerted importance by their first political venture the election of class officers, President, Ken Aerts, Vice-President, Rosanne Van Lanen, Secretary-Treasurer, Bob Duescher. Then they faced their first big ordeal—Initiation, under which they stood up remarkably well. During this year many of the class participated in F.H.A., F.F.A., band, basketball, football, and forensics. After a small sample of freedom, they v ere again called to return to their abode of knowledge. Being veterans of one full year, they possessed new confidence, and so without hesitation, elected Rosanne Van Lanen, President, Zita Verhasselt, Vice-Pres¬ ident, and Dorothy Laners, Secretary-Treasurer. This year with only twenty-two members and under the supervision of Mr. Y estman they got revenge—they initiated the Freshmen. The rest of the year found them busy accomplishing many things and continuing their activities. Determined to make the last two years of their Journey as successful as the first two, the class of 52 elected John Fin- nigan as President, Dorothy Laners, Vice-President, and Evelyn Brittnacher as Secretary-Treasurer. Class advisors for the year were Mr. Westman and Kiss Youniss. The main event of the year was the Junior Prom which took place on April 11. The theme of the prom was By the Light of the Silvery Moon. Terry Brick and Dorothy Larners reigned as King and Queen and we re followed by the royal court of honor which consisted of Deloris Verheyen, Zita Verhasselt, Lois G-eron ale, and Carol Laniers and their escorts. On April 29 the play Aunt Minnie from Minnesota was put on by the Junior Class. On August 29 the doors of Yv.H.S. opened for the last year for the Glass of 52 . To guide them in many things they had to accomplish, they elected Bob Duescher as President, Evelyn Britt¬ nacher as Vice-President, and Rosanne Van Lanen, Secretary-Trea¬ surer. At the end of the football season the W Club had a Homecoming game and dance at which Bob Duescher and Zita Verhas¬ selt reigned as King and Queen. The class play which was Ghost of a Chance proved to be a big success under the direction of Miss Giese and Mr. Knox. The Senior Class is looking forward to receiving diplomas, but will look back on Wrightstown High School with fond memories of their High School days. -13- CALENDAR 2 ? 26 29 15 Oct. 21 23 11 12 19 25 26 Nov.
