mSS HISTORY During the sunny month of September, 1949, forty-one shy freshmen entered Wrightstown High School destined to be the Class of M 53 n . We were off to a good start under the supervision of our class advisor, Mr. Fox. At the first class meeting election of officers was held. Those elected were: President, Dick Geyso; Vice-President, Peter Beno; Secretary, Elaine Keyser; Treas¬ urer, Betty Brown. Then came the big day--Initiation. A party was given the sophomores in return for the initiation.party. The class was represented in such organizations as band, chorus, FHA, FFA, football, basketball, and cheerleading. After three months of freedom, thirty-four ambitious students returned in the fall of 1950. Under the leadership of Mr. Ruelke and the class officers, President, Helene Lorenz; Vice-Presi¬ dent, Jack Hopfensperger; Secretary, Shirley Klister; Treasurer, Bob Buechler; we were guided through the year. Soon it was our turn to initiate the freshmen. For the remainder of the year, we continued our activities as our shyness began to disappear. Determined to make the last two years as successful as the first two, the class accomplished many more things under the direction of our advisors, Miss Youniss and Mr. Kosnar. The class elected Vincent Meulemans, President; Jack Hopfensper ger, Vice-President; Audrey Brittnacher, Secretary; Shirley Klister, Treasurer. The main event of the year was the Junior Prom dec¬ orated to the theme Candyland’ 1 . Vincent Meulemans and Aud¬ rey Brittnacher reigned as King and Queen followed by the court of honor which consisted of Betty Schreurs, Shirley Klister, Ruth Ver Hagen and their escorts. The junior class play, That ' s My Boy M , was another successful event during the year. Before we knew it, it was time to start our Senior year. With Mrs. Straus and Mr. Knox as our advisors everything was soon underway. Officers elected for the last year of our high school days were President, Alice Broeren; Vice-President, Shirley Klister; Secretary, Bob Buechler; and Treasurer, Audrey Britt¬ nacher. Everyone wanted to make the last year successful by co¬ operating in producing the High-Lite and organizing articles for the annual, Reflector ' 1 , As the football season was coming to a close, everyone was excited about the big game--Homecoming. The homecoming game was played against Winneconne and was a success for Wrights¬ town, In the evening a dance was held, sponsored by the senior class and the football squad. Jack Hopfensper ger reigned as King and chose Helen Nelessen as his Queen. The court of honor con¬ sisted of Audrey Brittnacher and Vincent Meulemans, Betty Schreurs and Rusty Titel. In February the class play, ' Finders Creepers, n was given under the direction of Mr. Knox, and was a big success. It was a three-act mystery comedy by Donald Payton, Finally, on May 28 came the biggest day of all--Graduation. The class of 53 will look back upon Wrightstown High School with fond thoughts and memories.
