the JUNIOR class play

You will see from the front page of the program that the play was at the "zcbj hall." That would be the table rock hall, which was in what we now call the opera house. it was the zcbj hall from about 1920-1960.

the official class picture

Thank you to members Tim Nord and Merilee Stehlik for this picture of the Class of 1934. Merilee's mom, Nettie Karas Stehlik is in the picture, 2nd row, on the right. Joe Tomek is pretty recognizable at the very bottom. I don't have the other names yet, but the Class f 1934 had more people than are in the picture. There are 14 students here, and the Alumni Association lists 22.

graduation

what did the diploma look like? like this, and with a list of the graduates to one side!

Thank you to Wayne Knippelmeyer for a copy of the diploma of his mother, Gladys Miller Knippelmeyer. The superintendent was H. G. Patterson and the principal was Lottie Hudson. President of the board of education was B. F. Muscheites, and board member Dr. James Plihal also signed it.

And here is Gladys herself, in 1935, out at Goat Hill ("the rocks"). Note the class motto set forth on the graduation certificate. "Climb through the rocks. Be rugged." Looks like she took the motto to heart, high heels and all!
