FENGER MEMORIES
from the
45th REUNION BOOK
Janet Boelcke: I met my future husband Ken while going to the forest preserve to collect leaves for biology class. We were going steady three weeks later; the rest is history. We will celebrate our 42nd anniversary on September 9, 2003. We're still very much in love.
Wilma Compton: I always smile remembering the lovely tank suits we used to wear for swimming and the ladies, with a sense of humor, handing out a size 12 swim suit to a size 5 girl.
Les Beckman: I have several memories of Fenger to share: Mr. Koedyker always rocked back in his chair when talking to the geometry class. One day he tumbled over backwards.
"Little" Danny Smith (Kohn) hit the ball on the lunchroom roof during Senior baseball game, the day before graduation.
A Mr. Rudner quote: "Even cold water kills germs. So wash your hands!"
In Miss Forqueran's Division we set all the sewing machines running.
After cutting, Miss Connors yelled at me before I had a chance to try out my excuse.
Coach Palmer told our health class about his tomahawk scar, and, "I know you guys wish he had hit me harder."
One day, Mr. Fisher hosed down his car in the rain.
Helene Buis: I remember the wonderful green PE suits we had to wear as well as the swim suits that never fit. We were real Beauties!
Al Busin: Enjoying football games at Gately Stadium, serving coffee and rolls to fellow students while working at Stratton's Book Store, swimming "bare ass" in swim class are all favorite memories.
(Why didn't the girls have to go B.A.? Must have been a shortage of men's swim trunks in the fifties or were they trying to make some guys feel inadequate?)
Sonia Carli: I remember spending a lot of time in DeHaan's office.
Connie Chiappori: Two favorite memories are waking Mrs. Tharp at 6:30 AM and driving her to school for early morning water ballet practice and the birthday sundaes served in large wooden salad bowls created by Chris Stratton.
Jim Compton: The whole four years were/are memorable: good friends and good memories.
Louise Halajian: I remember when all my friends got together and had everyone vote me in as May Queen.
Gerry Dalle: I can't forget Mrs. White (Biology) wearing the same dress for four years.
Fred Fallin: I started the first violin book in the Fenger orchestra with Gladys Zirbel, which was continued fun and joy because of her wonderful sense of humor and great musical talent.
I represented Fenger in a small group Wackadoo Revue, a 1958 stage production, aswell as in other small groups outside of school. I also remember winning a dance contest and performing on WGN's Club 9 on Fenger High School Day.
Warren Den Dekker: I enjoyed the football games at Gately Stadium—especially against those punks from CVS. Go Titans!
Lisa Bretz: Meeting Glenn Peterson in Mrs. Town's biology class was quite memorable.
Glenn Peterson: Spending as much time as I could with Elisabeth Bretz in addition, of course, to graduating were my senior goals.
Beverly Ellison: Football games at Gately were special. Our local high school in Rock Island has played in the playoffs there, and my son has gone to see the games. (Rock Island lost.)
Janet Eng: During football playoffs in our championship season Freshman year, I accidentally dropped my cowbell in the toilet at Soldier Field.
Carole Fanizzo: Fenger taught fashion sense by requiring female students to wear shapeless, sick-green gym suits with bloomers; large, stretchy, red tank suits for swimming; outlandish and embarrassing costumes for club initiations; and something called "GAA Bop-Bows."
Fenger taught speed by allowing three minutes between classes and scheduling swimming in the basement on the south side of the building followed by a class on the third floor of the north wing.
Fenger taught restraint by mandating proper behavior before, during, and after football games. This included screaming at the top of your lungs until you lost your voice about Fenger's invincible team—wherever you happened to be on game day.
Pearl Golden: Had I not been tardy twice for first period, I would have had perfect attendance for all four years.
Lottie Hanek: I enjoyed singing in Girls' Glee Club and having hallguard duty across from the pool when the boys had swimming.
Donald Fitch: Sock hops, Gately Stadium and games with CVS, Art's Drive In, Prom with GeGe, and my '49 Nash Ambassador (The Tank) are all favorite memories.
David Gross: The variety shows were memorable for me. If it wasn't my magic with silk scarves and arm choppers, it was my lipsyncing to a 1920's tune in flapper style—or both.
Pat Hansen: The only memory that stands out is the first time I cut school. There were five of us, and we all went to Brenda Soderholm's house even though Brenda didn't cut that day. She lived right across from the main entrance of Fenger. Her mom was working, but we didn't know her mom's insurance man would be coming over. We were hiding by crawling around on the floor because we thought it was someone from school at the door. Turned out to be one bad day, and I never cut school again.
Marcia Heidmeyer: My future husband (from CVS) kissed me in the hall, and we were sent to the principal's office.
Elouise Miller: Mr. Musick's art class was memorable.
Anita Herdina: I have a lot of good memories of Fenger High School and my classmates. Thank you all for being a part of my life.
Richard Hendricks: Those frigid Fridays at the Titans' football games were memorable, but seeing our math teacher Mr. Schroeder's face when he found all the points on his pencils broken was priceless.
Lois Hills: At Senior Sing, we were in trouble with Mrs. Rupprecht because we sang Margie at Mr. Kehoe's request. They were dating, I guess; and Margie was his deceased wife's name.
Saturday Night Socials, "Y" dances, lovely gym and tank suits, "Uncle Holly's" civics class, and water ballet shows were all special.
Arlene Holody: In my sophomore year, I had surgery for appendicitis and a week later I had a cystectomy. My classmates sent cards which filled a scrapbook. I'll never forget that. Thank you!
Carole Hultsch: I remember meeting in the hall between classes to make plans for later, going to Sheldon's after school, and trying out for cheerleading, though I was never lucky enough to be chosen.
Pat Hyry: Sitting in Sheldon's during lunch and listening to the old tunes and walking down 103
Bruce Laverman: As a stage crew member I met and shined the spotlight on Mantovani, Arthur Fiedler of the Boston Pops, Tony Bennet, and many others.
Karen Johnson: I enjoyed dancing the Charleston with Fred Fallin at Friday Night Socials and the singing of Maxine Patarini and Nancy Payne.
Bobby Jean Maginel: Cheering on Connie as she drag-raced, going to the LL field our Senior year, and attending all the swim meets with Nezzy and Connie are fun memories. Connie and Nez taking me to Ken and Dick's for my 18
Joanne Kahme: Football High School Championship Game at Soldier Field: we lost in the last three minutes due to a fumble. What a disappointment!
Carole Kassay: My fondest memory of Fenger is the two years that I was part of the Fenger News staff. I made a lot of friends, had tons of fun, and learned a lot about people.
Elaine Messal: In order to obtain G.A.A. points, I had to walk two continuous miles a specific number of times plus many other activities. From my home to Fenger was one mile, and the perimeter of Palmer Park was a mile. I would walk home and around the park which totaled two miles. It was excellent exercise, invigorating, scenic; and it didn't cost a cent.
Vern Lemke: Fenger football team beating Mt. Carmel in the Prep Bowl before a capacity Soldier Field crowd is a great memory.
Dolores Kruszinski: Prom—it was very special.
Tom Murawski: There are so many that I hesitate to state only one, and there isn't enough time or space to tell all. However, let me share how I almost killed one of our teachers.
Pete Kopp and I entered the annual Chicago Science Fair in our Senior year. We chose to write the mathematical and scientific calculations to launch a satellite—you do remember Sputnik, don't you? I can't recall how long it took us to compute and prove our calculations, but I vividly remember that transferring our work onto two large poster boards took two days.
Finally finished, we proudly brought our entry in to Mr. Pollyea's class to be forwarded to the Fair. He accepted the boards, placed them on the chalk tray, took two steps backwards, placed his hand on his chin, and within a matter of seconds found, and boldly circled in red the omission of a scientific notation!
The omitted sign could have been easily inserted, but now the entire board had to be completely rewritten. He stated that he couldn't give us anymore time.
While I don't think that a jury of our peers would have found me guilty, he did teach me a lesson that I (obviously) never forgot.
George Mullen: My memory is shot!
Pat Nemesnyik: Our entire Senior year was fun: Prom, Senior Breakfast—which was only the second time I was in the school cafeteria—Senior Sing, etc. The 50's were great and so was Fenger!
Arlene Opyt: The music from that time period always brings back memories of Fenger—now that's generic for ya!
Judy Raimo: The only time I ever cut class, I was caught and kicked out of the Glee Club. But, oh! That day was a lot of fun! If I remember right, it was Mrs. Rupprecht who did the booting.
Roger Reed: I was a tenor in the group that sang The Star Spangled Banner at graduation and was late arriving. Ms. Mulligan was so angry that she wanted to pull me from the group but couldn't because she needed me.
I remember representing Fenger in the Chicago American Newspaper Speech Contest in spite of the fact that Mr. Richardson was against my participation.
Leading the ROTC Drum & Bugle Corp in parades was also memorable.
Kathleen Tanzabel: I remember the Paper Caper's dances on Friday afternoons.
Gail Rock: I thought about the girls hairdos: short in a DA—that was me—long flip, or ponytail. Also, shirt collars were turned up, little white fake collars worn on sweaters were in, and pink was cool for guys.
Barbara Schueler: Biology field trips around Fenger with Miss Stevens to identify trees, football jackets, and Ami's are my favorite memories.
Carol Serczyk: I liked going to the football games, yelling and cheering with the crowd. I also liked the basketball games and watching our team play.
Mr. Stiller was a great Latin teacher, and I enjoyed the Latin Club.
Andy Steinbrecher: I will never forget football season '57 - '58 and our 6-0 loss to Calumet for the public school title.
Barbara Kieken: The day I graduated was my favorite memory; I hated school.
Dorothy Vanderbilt: I loved singing in the Girls' Glee Club. I can't remember the name of the teacher, but I have always loved music and singing.
George Sechrist: Surprisingly, one day a chair I was holding flew out a third floor window.
Probably the most memorable event was when my hair stuck to the end of the diving board. I was doing an inward dive in pike position, more commonly known as a back jackknife. The key to doing this successfully is to push up and slightly out, which keeps you away from the board as you pass it by on the way to the water. I guess I didn't do the "slightly out" part very well since I came smack down on the board with my head—already lacking in hair—and left a tuft of hair on the end of the board where I hit. But, maybe Connie and Pat just made that up.
Jane Vander meer: Football games were especially memorable.
Gary Wallace: A few favorites of mine are: Wodka singing Rock Around the Clock on the bus returning from "away" games, Culbertson kicking Davros out of chemistry class, Kehoe continually pulling up his pants, Coach Palmer insisting that skin wasn't porous, and Chiappori speed writing on her SAT's.
Mary Ann Valente: I remember when we were entertained by Tony Bennett in honor of our football team.
Wayne Witt: I'll never forget when John Heller was pushed off the stage while he played Polonaise.
Ed Wodka: I remember sneaking in the drive-in with Bobby Jean, Nezzy, Connie, etc.: eating some of their lunches during 4th, 5th, 6th periods; eating pizza at Giovanni's with Sticks and other Key Clubbers; getting all my booze taken away by an Indiana State Trooper at the Dunes while my lovely date Sharon McNeely went into shock; and seeing Hyry always with some older guy with a cool car. We had a great class: spirit, cheerleaders, band.
Alice Schraufnagel: I remember having a great group of friends and having only three minutes between classes.
Ron Ballatore: Going to dances at the "Y" and eating pizza afterwards; visiting Bum Town for wine, Italian salami, and cheese with my father; playing Little League baseball with my father and Eddie Wodka; dancing with Nezzy and her crazy friends Pat and Bobby: all are favorite memories.
Ken Vianello (January '58): The quality people I met at Fenger and Kohn and the contribution of their friendship was, and has been, wonderful.

FENGER MEMORIES
from the
50th REUNION BOOK
THE FENGER NEWS: A photographer for the school newspaper, Bruce Laverman smiles and shakes his head when he thinks about the uncertainity of the old GE flashbulbs he used.
FRIDAY NIGHT SOCIALS: Ron Ballatore, Lois Hills, Cynthia Edelmann, Jolane Johnson, Ed Palowski, and Joan Herzog were usually found in Fenger's gym for the dances on Friday night.
WATER BALLET: "I'll never forget those early morning water ballet practices and the fun of creating new routines for our shows," reminisces Lois Hills.
ORCHESTRA: The orchestra under the direction of Mr. Neil Tremble proved to be a wonderful experience for Freddy Fallin. He played 1st violin in all 4 of his Fenger years.
BASKETBALL: Ray Kotwicki remembers being confronted by Basketball Coach Barder and asked if he'd ever played the game. His reply was, "Yes, once." The delighted coach then said, "Good. You're on the team." Ray guesses that his 6 foot 6 inch frame captured the coach's attention.
DRESS CODE: Janet Eng observes that the girls of the day wore so many petticoats, or crinolines, under their skirts that they resembled mushrooms.
BAND: Tim Anderson appreciates being part of a band that repeatedly captured top honors against Chicago's other high school bands. He credits the direction and dedication of Mr. Andrew Lumbrazo as being responsible for the successful pattern.
SENIOR PROM: Charlene Daudt and Jim Boscardin both wrote about the wonderful atmosphere and music during their Senior Prom in the Grand Ballroom of Chicago's Palmer House Hotel. The scoop is, however, that Charlene's date later married one of her best friends.
BIOLOGY PROJECT: While in the forest preserve collecting leaves for biology class, Janet Boelcke met her future husband. After 47 years of wedded bliss, she's not sure what her grade was but she's very glad she took the class.
FRIENDSHIPS: In their reminisces of Roseland days, many of our classmates mention special friendships that began at Fenger, 50 years or more ago, and continue to the present.

Please help with identifications!
Along with identifications, Bev De Young Ahnell sends info that the Washington trip was called The Dean Student Tour since a few Morgan Park High School students were included. (Mr. Dean's daughter went to Morgan Park.) The name proved to be a sore spot with Fenger students because all of the other cars on the train had their school name on the outside while ours had to say "Dean Student Tour."

INTRODUCTION
(Stein Song)
Here's a toast to Fenger High. Shout 'til the rafters ring;
Stand and give a toast once again. Let every loyal Fengerite sing.
Then sing of all the happy hours. Sing of the careless days.
Sing to days of youth and gladness, the High School of our hearts always.

CLASS SPONSOR
(Margie)
Our dear friend, Mary, we're always thinking of you, Mary.
We'll tell the world about you, of your kindness to all of us.
We have learned a lot, and we appreciate our Mary.
You've been our inspiration. Days are always gay.
After all is said and don, there is really only one,
Oh Mary! Mrs. Flynn! It's you!
PRINCIPAL
(Down by the Riverside)
Mr. Richardson, we met you
Here at Fenger High,
Here at Fenger High,
Here at Fenger High.
You tried to lead us the best you could
Here at Fenger High,
Here at Fenger High.
You were patient and guided us
Mr. Richardson,
Mr. Richardson,
Mr. Richardson.
So now we are singing yor praise,
Mr. Richardson,
From the '58 class.
Oh Mr. Richardson, it's true. We surely will miss you.
You've had a long hard fight
To try and make us understand our role in this great land.
But, we will prove that you are right
You'll be proud of the greatest class to leave old Fenger High
Dear old Fenger High,
Dear oldFenger High'
Fine old Fenger High.
You really were swell to us all
Mr. Richardson,
Mr. Richardson.
ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL TAYLOR
(Davy Crockett)
She makes the bulletin every day
And tells us what to do or say.
She speeds us on our merry way.
Yes sir, she really is okay.
Milly, Milly Taylor, Queen of the Faculty.
Her friends are many as you can tell
And all through school she's been so swell.
We sure will miss her when we go
Because these facts are really so.
Milly, Milly Taylor, Queen of the Faculty.

DIVISION TEACHERS
(Teacher's Pet)
Division teachers, we love our division teachers:
McClive, McMahon, Stiller, Koranda, Mumford, Carrigan, Janovic.
Division teachers, we can't forget Raguso, O'Sullivan, Forqueran. They're ours!
We've always had them at our side.
We tried to learn all that they could teach us: to cut class without a pass;
But in just a little while, we were in trouble too.
Division Teachers, those wonderful division teachers.
We'll be so sorry to leave them. We thank them for their helping hand.
We'll recall our division teachers long after school is through.|
SPORTS
(On Wisconsin)
Onward Fenger, onward Fenger, on to victory.
Football, Baseball, and Swimming, high in these were we. Rah! Rah! Rah!
Onward Titans, onward Titans, tops you'll try to be
With our great coaches behind thee.
On Basketball, on Tennis, on ROTC.
Always fighting, always punching. You were hard to beat. Rah! Rah! Rah!
We will always remember all the fun we had,
Don't let us down now, or we'll be real sad.
Repeat 1st verse
PROM
(When You Wish Upon a Star)
Now our Prom is here at last. All our waiting hours have passed.
It's just you and I here at our Prom tonight.
As we dance, dear, through the night, our dreams will turn out just right.
When we wish upon our star as dreamers do.
Now, it's true. I'm at the Prom with you. This night shall always be a special memory.
We shall dance the night away, starry-eyed and always gay.
Oh, we shall remember always this Prom date.
Do you realize that it's here? Come now, darling, not a tear.
You and I share memories of this fantasy.
As the music, soft and low, plays our love song we will know
Wishing on our star has made our Prom come true.
Oh, what fun, and this has just begun
A lifetime memory of this glorious Prom night.
As our star does lead the way, memories of our Prom will stay.
You and I will always know, this night is ours!
FENGER NEWS AND COURIER
(Whistle While You Work)
The Fenger News and Courier just don't pop out of space.
They are created by ingenious work of students who
Just work and slave from day to day and scratch their heads
And try to think what people such as you would like to read.
When asked the secret of success, they blushed and said,
"Oh all we do is find the news and use our fingers and our head and
Whistle while we work. (Whistle)
We got the news but don't abuse the people it's about.
We go about our work. (Whistle)
We do our best to do our best in giving all the facts.
When work piles up too high, we make our fingers fly.
'cause when it's done, there's time for fun, and we can start that everlasting
Whistling while we work. (Whistle)
Come on, join us, and whistle while we work.
143 and 126
(Syncopated Clock)
There were once two rooms which held much dread,
For those who entered might as well be dead.
Those in trouble were in quite a fix with 143 and 126.
The teachers, they all had a rule about what to do with the one
Who, within the classroom liked to talk, and laugh, and have fun.
So slowly, sadly, down you'd go, past the office feeling mighty low.
As you entered through the door, you felt you could crawl through the floor,
And there they sat who held your doom, there within that tiny, little room.
You found that trouble wasn't any fun; in fact, you felt like turning to run.
As years go on, as they surely will; and your mind, with memories slowly will fill;
You'll look back and get laughs and kicks about 143 and 126.
SENIOR SING SPONSOR
(Mickey Mouse)
Who's the teacher of the class who sponsored Senior sing?
U-N-C-L-E H-O-L-L-Y
Hey there, every senior, you're as welcome as can be, by
U-N-C-L-E H-O-L-L-Y
Uncle Holly, Uncle Holly,
Forever we will hold your memory high, high. Hi Uncle Holly!
Through the years we'll all think back to all fond memories, of
U-N-C-L-E H-O-L-L-Y
Uncle Holly, Uncle Holly,
Forever we will hold your memory high!
Now it's time to say goodbye to quite a joking guy,
U-N-C--See you real soon
K-L-E-E--because you're everything--H-O-L-L-Y!
MEMORIES
(Thanks for the Memories)
Thanks for the memories
Of parties, games, and teas
E's instead of D's
Of crowded halls
And stately walls
And tardy slips and pleas,
How lovely it was.
And thanks for the memories
Of football games and cheers
Fun throughtout the years,
Of ditching class
Without a pass
Now graduation nears,
How lovely it was!
We'll say goodbye with a heartache
For each little friendship we must break,
But all the mem'ries, we will take.
For we did have fun, but now it's done.
No matter how far we roam
Away from this home we've known,
We'll never forget the hours we've spent,
And how we love you so farewell, Fenger High!
FAREWELL
(Always)
We'll remember you always
With a love that's true, always.
Years cannot erace
Fenger's charm and grace.
They will hold their place,
Always! Always!
Though we travel far from you
You're our guiding star, Fenger.
Not for just an hour,
Not for just a day,
Not for just a year,
But always.
