Granton High School (1935/1936 – Combined Reunion 1961)

The Classes of 1935 and 1936 had a very enjoyable reunion Saturday night, July 1, at the Granton High School. There were 43 members present, including husbands and wives. The 1935 class had a total of 17, while the 1936 class numbered 22.

After touring the high school building and its new additions, the group gathered in the new school cafeteria for an 8 o’clock dinner.

Joe Davis (’35) was master of ceremonies. He called on a member of each class to read the names of its members. Arlene Lindow Hasz read letters from classmates and teachers who were unable to attend. Tribute was paid to the memory of deceased class members, Mrs. Georgia (Grosnick) Stelloh and Mrs. Lucille (Schlinsog) Burge.

Time was spent in reminiscing, and many of the experiences of the past 25 and 26 years were told.

Prizes were given as follows: traveling the farthest, Mrs. Allen (Evelyn Nonhoff) Moore, of Milwaukee and Mrs. Wilbert (Alvina Foemmel) Korth from FT. Atkinson; youngest child, Lucien Moh and David Anderson, both of Granton; oldest child, Mrs. R.

(Ruth Snyder) Schlinsog and Ray Keuer, Chili; married within the class, Otto Hasz and Arlene Lindow. Other prizes included one for the toastmaster and three door prizes.
