This 1928 publication of the Echo marks
the twenty-fifth year of the commencement
of the Wilmot Union Free High School. Year
by year, step by step, from 1903 to 1928, this
school and its reputation have grown. Year
by year, step by step, each class has added
traditions, has established records, that should
stand forever as memorials and inspirations to
future classes. Lest these treasured happenings be forgotten, we have attempted to
record them in this publication.
ITo all of you who peruse these pages, we
invoke the spirit of by-gone days to come
upon you and recall to you the pleasant
memories of your schoolmates and the happy
remembrances of your school life which are
revealed to you in the pages of this book.
The staff wishes to thank those who have
co-operated and who have helped to make this
project-the Alumni number-a success.

I see a great forest of beautiful trees;
Trees that were made by God.
I see a road winding through the trees,
And bushes and goldenrod.
The trees are men successful in life;
The bushes arc men that have failed;
The flowers are friendships that give us the fight
To follow the lonely trail.
The lives of the trees are guides on the way;
The road is the means to the goal;
Without flowers and trees and bushes that sway
The way would be hard to unfold.
The name of the road is "Character;"
By it we pass safely among men,
But guidance can never be given by flowers,
If lost-we're dependent on them.
Let's learn a lesson from the forest and road
Let's develop the road and grow!
Of the flowers and bushes it's well to know,
But Nature will care for her own.

For efficient and careful management to insure a successful school, a primary
prerequisite is a capable school board. In Mr. Otto Schenning, Mr. R. C. Shotliff, postmaster, and Mr. George Dean, hardware merchant, the Wilmot Union Free High School
has been fortunate in having a board which fulfills all the qualifications to the letter.
By their splendid interest in the school, ever-ready cooperation, and untiring efforts
they have done much to make the school stand out as one of the best. To them the
students and teachers extend their most grateful appreciation.

Through the many laboring hours spent by the members of the staff and the
faculty in attempting to produce a true portrayal of the life and activities of Union Free
High School, we have succeeded in turning out this edition, the 1928 Echo.
Each officer of the staff was selected according to ability and fitness for that
position. Each one has tried to do his best in his certain section of the book in order
that every reader might feel that he had taken part in the various undertakings of the
school rather than to have merely read them.
I take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to all contributors
and helpers.

Should a complete history of the hundreds of activities of the Class of 1928
during their four year sojourn within the Union Free High School be written, it would
include a volume of happy events, too innumerable to mention. In. only a small way
can a few of these be included in this story.
In the fall of 1924 there appeared for enrollment the largest class ever to enter the Wilmot school. They numbered twenty-seven in all, and not unlike other Freshmen, they were clumsy, awkward, frightened, and as green as Erin. Gradually they
made themselves a part of the school. After three weeks of continuous but harmless
maltreatmnt at the hands of a merciless group of sophomores, these timid yearlings had
imbibed enough class spirit to decorate a float which carried off third honors at the West
Kenosha County Fair. As freshmen do, they spent a great amount of time in study. In
fact, some studied so diligently that at the end of this year fourteen decided that they
had become saturated with knowledge, and failed to return the following semester.
As sophomores, these surviving thirteen shook off the bonds of timidity, and
whenever they were not too much preoccuiped with their daily tasks, gleefully administered punishment upon the incoming freshmen. Thirteen proved to be an unlucky number for them, since they were forced to be content once more with a third prize float at
the fair. Among the highlights of the year was a most successful party for the purpose
of initiating their inferiors, the freshmen. They also admitted a small increase in knowledge during the year.
Junior roll-call brought forth a brighter outlook with the appearance of two
newcomers, Berneice Harm and Wylanta Haggerty. A more serious attitude prevailed
among the classmates now, which was manifest in a first honor float, representing the
class motto, "Rowing, not drifting." Climaxing a brilliant year was a most successful
Junior Prom, with a beautifully decorated gym, and music by Millar's Orchestra of
Woodstock.
All too soon did the fourth year come and go. Only then did the classmates
of four years begin to look forward with regret to the closing of their high school days.
They completed their careers in a fitting manner, by staging very successfully the class
play, "What Happened to Jones."

Qllass Jlrnp4£tt!
Twenty-five years had elapsed since I left the U. F. H. S., and this year on my
annual vacation, I planned to return to my old haunts. I walked into a waiting-room on
New York's busy thoroughfares to inform my pilot that I was ready to leave. The
pilot was the inventor of a combination weed-cutter and airplane which would rise
directly into the air from the street. His next ambition was to cross the Pacific. His
son, Bernard, who accompanied him, sent my thoughts back to a girl in the Junior class
of 1928.
Resting easily in my private compartment, I took by chance a book from the
library, entitled "How to Attain Beauty," written by none other than Ruth Stoxen.
Tiring of reading, I gazed down at the land, and saw a farm with fields of
yellow flowers. It was a beautiful sight, and I instructed my pilot to drop at once.
Health-giving sunflowers were raised by this progressive farmer, Mr. John Memler. As
I chatted with him, who should drive up but Mr. Schnurr, looking the same as ever, except that he now drove a Chevrolet sedan.
As we were ascending again, I saw on a bill poster that Esther Kanis was a
candidate for Register of Deeds. I knew that she would be successful in her work because of the experience gained in the U. F. H. S. as recorder of attendance.
On our next stop at Trevor, I recognized in a tall man with a valise, making
his way down the street, the village physician, Dr. Runyard. Rumor said he was applying for his third divorce. I quickly left for \Vilmot, where I found the U. F. H. S. unchanged. Entering the gym I heard the coach, George Richter, venting his wrath on a
a slim youth in baseball togs. The youth bore a faint resemblance to Mr. Mulder.
"Revenge is sweet," said George.
George said much of our mutual acquaintances of other days. Miss Hansen,
though married, was still a commercial teacher. Leroy Madden was having remarkable
mccess as a ladies' barber. He never failed to talk of his two sons who were competing
for the same guard position on the basketball team, and also for catcher on the baseball
team. Emerson Schmalfeldt was a great political leader, rivalling the power once held
by LaFollette. He and his wife and children, Oswald and Henrietta, were now visiting
relatives in Twin Lakes.
On my return to New York, I stopped at the Herrick Engineering Company
in Chicago to see my little chum of 192 8, Alice McDougall. She had become married
through the Matrimonial Bureau of Gertrude Gauger. After a most pleasant visit, I
reached New York in time to see those stage celebrities, Bassett and Reynolds, and recalled a vocational topic written several years before in Civics class.

After much deliberation, the three act comedy, "What Happened to Jones,"
was selected as the Class Play in 1928. As usual, the gymnasium was taxed to capacity
for the occasion, and the play was presented with a high degree of success.
The story is laid in the home of Ebenezer Goodly, who with his wife, is preparing to entertain his brother, the Bishop of Ballarat, from Australia. On the evening
preceding the arrival of the bishop, Mr. Goodly and Richard Heatherly, who is engaged
to Goodly's daughter, Marjorie, attend a boxing match. The illegal performance is
raided by the police, but the above two escape by sliding down a rain spout.
A man named Jones escaped with them into Mr. Goodly's home. When the
police follow him there, he assumes the role of the bishop, and stays for the night. He
is presented to Goodly's wife, daughters, and ward as the bishop, and immediately falls
in love with Cissy, the ward. Humorous situations prevail when Jones attempts to explain conditions in Australia, and more complications arrive when the real bishop and an
escaped lunatic arrive. These three have a difficult time proving their identity, but the
play ends to the general satisfaction of all concerned.

In the fall of 1925 twenty-three excited and eager Freshies entered the portals
of the dear, old U. F. H. S. They were a very bright looking group, and, perhaps it would
be well to mention, very sure of themselves. Yes, they were very sure of themselves
until they came into the assembly, where all the upper classmen were awaiting them.
The first day of school was short, and they were not bothered much, but as the days
wore on, how those Seniors and Sophomores harassed them.
After they were in school for about a month, their principal, Mr. Mulder, announced that they would soon have initiation. Worried looks passed over many of their
faces but Mr. Mulder made them feel better by saying that very few had been killed
the year before, so they might have a chance of escaping.
After initiation, school began to be more organized and they became accustomed to the routine, swiftly adopting the tricks of the upper classmen.
There were many students in the class who possessed talent in music and
athletics. Some of the girls joined the Glee Club and kept it up when they' were
Sophomores. This year it is a mixed Glee Club, and some of the boys have joined.
Arthur Bloss, Lester Bufton, Winsor Madden, Dean Loftus and Norman, Jedele showed
remarkable ability in playing basket-ball. They have worked hard and Arthur, Lester
and Winsor have attained, in their Junior year, a place upon the first team. Deane led
the second team to numerous victories, and the classmates of these boys are justly proud
of them.
They returned the initiation with a very successful party for the Sophs, and
they were entertained at a party, given by the Seniors. This year they are working' on
the Prom and mean to make it a success.
When the Pepper Club was organized, many of the girls joined and helped to
bring about a spirit of cooperation and friendliness.
The Class of '29 has gained many scholastic honors. Many of the students
have repeatedly carried five subjects and succeeded in getting upon the Honor Roll.
The Latin Class is largely composed of Juniors, which is a rribute to the class, as it is a
very hard subject. The boys also have made splendid records in Agriculture. They
went to Madison to enter into contests, and their work was highly praised.
A few of the students have fallen along the roadside, but the majority of them
are still striving for their goal, although their faithful teachers have given up hope for
them many times.
They are planning a very busy and eventful Senior year, and though each and
every one of them will regret to part from the school where their happiest days were
spent, they will have the satisfaction of knowing that they have accomplished the task
which was set before them.

The Class of 1930 entered the Union Free High School as one of the smallest
groups in years, numbering only eighteen. But among the group were some who were
by no means small physically, and the sight of these strapping youths must have brought
joy to the heart of the basketball coach on the first day of school.
A particularly aggressive sophomore class made life miserable for the new-comers for several weeks. It was a thoroughly frightened group of freshmen who assembled in the gymnasium one Friday evening for the purpose of being initiated, but
with the exception of a few broken necks and four or five fractured skulls, all escaped
sadder but wiser.
The new class became immediatelv active in school activities. Several of the
girls attached themselves to the newly org<~nized Pepper Club, and others became associated with the Glee Club. Three of the boys aspired for the basketball squad, and
Kermit Schreck, a husky lad who had been a member of the second squad while still a
grade student, performed with such capability that he earned a letter in his first year.
A glance at the records will show that this feat has been accomplished but very few
times previously. Ervin Rasch won a regular berth on the second team.
The class was very success£ ul in offering a Christmas Party in honor of the
sophomores. The gymnasium was very prettily decorated, presents were given to all,
and games and dancing furnished entertainment.
Unfortunately the ranks of the class were thinned out even more at the beginning of the second year, and the sophomores now have distinction of being the smallest class in years.
Most of the boys became charter members of the Hi-Y Club, and the girls
continued their activities in the Pepper Club and the newly formed mixed Glee Club.
Basketball again claimed three of the members, Kermit Schreck winning a regular berth
as right forward, and performing consistently well all season. Next year he will be a star.
Late in the season Ervin Rasch was added to the first squad, and participated in a number of games. Ervin is looked upon as the regular center next season.
In the spring baseball claimed the attention of the same two boys, Rasch playing unusually well at first base. His long hits brought joy to his classmates. Schreck
was a regular outfielder.
The fine spirit of the class was largely aided by the careful and capable guidance of Miss Hansen, who acted as class adviser. The members have set a high standard
of achievement for the coming two years, and are eagerly looking forward to that happy
day when they will hear the glad words, "Congratulations, Class of 1930! Well done!''

Midst shouts of derision and cries of ridicule, eighteen freshmen shyly found
places in the assembly on the first school day of September, nineteen twentyseven. And what a day it was! For the timid eighteen found seats in the proper section
of the room, and remained in them, fearing that each false move would bring forth
mockery from the horrid upper-classmen.
Registration was an ordeal, for each student was required to make his way
down the aisle, over books and feet purposely placed as obstacles, to the next room. A
single misstep brought forth a volley of terrible shouts. And in the next room sat three
grim-visaged pedagogues who demanded in solemn tones the names, ages, color, height,
weight, and outstanding characteristics of each individual. At length the terrible day
drew to a close, and the thoroughly frightened freshmen looked forward to better times.
Gradually the punishment lessened, and school became a matter of routine
which was more pleasing and satisfactory. In a very short period the new class absorbed
a sense of school and class loyalty, which was early shown in the class election. ' There
followed that annual classic, the parade of the West Kenosha County Fair. Aided and
advised by Mr. M. M. Schnurr, the infant class secured third prize on a float, which was
a source of great satisfaction, since the reward came at the expense of their taunting
"superiors," the sophomores.
Becoming now thoroughly acclimated to high school, the freshmen began
eagerly to participate in extra-curricular activities. With the first call for basketball
candidates, four of the class appeared and continued on the second squad throughout the
season. One, William Bernhoft, played regularly on the second team, and showed
enough ability to be taken as a member of the first squad on a number of occasions.
The same four boys competed in baseball, and William Bernhoft earned a regular berth
on the first team as an infielder and utility pitcher.
The girls of the class turned their attention to the Pepper Club, and became
very active in that organization, especially at the party given in honor of the faculty.
The close of the year found them a class which has given promise of being
capable and industrious. The scholastic record is very high, and the class spirit is excellent. The members of the class are looking forward to an even more successful
sophomore year.

MISS RUBY BICE, Principal.
September, 1927, found thirty-four pupils to be seated in the upper grade
room with seating room for only thirty-three. Mr. Vincent soon came to the rescue,
and as a result one little sixth grader was treated to a desk and a chair placed
against the back wall. Fortunately no new members have been added to the happy
family.
The fifth grade has the distinction of being the smallest class in number as
well as in size. lt.is composed of but five members, Raymond Schold, Ella Grinder,
Ruby Memler, Vera Frank and Louis Hartman.
There are several reasons why the sixth grade should receive special mention.
They are the largest class in this department, twelve in number. One member
earned the autographed picture of Colleen Moore for being the girl in Kenosha County
who sold the largest number of Christmas seals. They have shown their ability anJ
initiative by the attractive programs they have put on in the Literary Society. Fern
McDougall, Irva Blood, Louis Gandt, Arthur Holtdorf, Ruth Holtdorf, Dorothy Kanis,
Melvin Lake, Corene Lake, Dorothy \Vohlhart, Harold Gauger, Glen Pacey and
Gertrude Nett form their ranks.
The seventh grade must not be slighted in the honorable mention column.
They are the only class in which the boys out-number the girls, and they have the best
average attendance for the year. In their line up, one finds, Thomas Elison, Norman
Rasch, Lloyd Rush, Floyd Memler, John Sutcliffe, Ethel Blood, Ethelyn Albrecht, Susie
Rausch and Mary Schold.
Last but not least comes the eighth grade. Four of this class, Helen Loftus
Hazel Madden, Ruth Shotliff and Tom Brownell entered the fifth grade from the
primary room. Olive Grinder enrolled from the Kenosha city schools while they were
sixth graders and Leonard \V ard from Peotone, Illinois, the same year. Louie Rausch
entered in the seventh year from a Bristol rural school, while Arthur Hartman came
from East St. Louis, Illinois, in September 1927. When the yearly achievement and intelligent tests were given all 8th graders in the county, six of the eight ranked near
the top of the county list.
Here is hoping that each one will be found enrolled. upstairs next September
and that they will prove to be a real addition to the freshman class.

without their efforts the directory would not have been so nearly complete. We
also wish to apologize for our inability to ascertain the whereabouts of every Alumnus,
but such was an impossible task. Time has scattered them far and wide; each has found
his own station in life. If errors have been made, we shall be pleased if you will correct
them by notifying the high school office.
The Alumni Editors.

~n ~drosp£d
To Wilmot High-and may she never die;
But as the years go by, and her grads increase,
And all are scattered far and wide,
May each one's heart be filled with mem'ries
They can ne'er forget;
Their Alma Mater calls them-Wilmot High.
Just twenty-five years ago, through the efforts of several enterprising men of
the community, occurred the establishment of the Wilmot Union Free High School. Of
course it was a very small high school, with but two teachers, but, at least it was a
school of which everyone was proud. Mr. A. P. Minsart was the first principal, and
and Miss Perdu was his assistant. Incidentally, Mr. Minsart returned again as principal
~everal years later, but at the present time has forsaken administrative work to become the head of the science department of Wausau High School.
In 1912 it was decided to enlarge the school and reduce the burden of taxation
by increasing the size of the district, which was made to include parts of Salem, Randall,
and Wheatland townships, its present boundaries. Two new teachers were added to the
faculty.
The Wilmot school has enjoyed a steady, substantial growth, with few intermissions. Occasionally changes were made for the better, until today the curriculum is as
comprehensive and useful as that of any small school in the state. At first only academic subjects were offered, but under Principal Squires occurred the installation of a four
year agriculture course. During the principalship of R. S. Ihlenfeldt, the agriculture
course received an added impetus by being qualified under the Smith-Hughes law,
whereby the school receives a considerable amount of financial aid from the state.
In 1918 a home economics course was introduced and capably organized by
Miss Ermine Carey. This proved a most popular and practical course, but was dropped
in 1926 because of a lack of interest, which was undoubtedly due to the installation of a
four year commercial course. This was organized by Miss Minnie Hansen.

(Continued)
The curriculum now offers a good opportunity for a selection of studies by
students. Four years of English, two of mathematics, three of science, one of civics,
and two of history, are required for graduation. The four year courses in both agriculture and commercial work offer all the vocational work that is allowed a graduate for
college entrance. In addition a student may elect work in the social sciences, advanced
mathematics, and Latin.
That one feature of the school which represents its biggest element of growth
is the gymnasium. Most everyone is familiar with the ways in which money was secured
to build this structure. A complete story appeared in the 192 5 Echo. The building
will be a lasting memorial to the untiring efforts of the man who did most to bring
about the edifice, Mr. R. S. Ihlenfeldt, former principal of the school. Nor can the
splendid cooperation of all who helped be forgorten;-mmely, those who circulated the
first petitions, those public spirited citizens who so willingly loaned their money without
interest, those fine women who labored so unselfishly each year of the fair and donated
the proceeds to the gym, the high school organizations which gave entertainments, and a
host of other people who did their bit,-to all these is the Wilmot gymnasium a monument. To say that the gym has satisfied is incomplete, for scarcely a week passes in
which it is not put to use for a worthy purpose. It is not an unusual happening to
find several hundred people gathering within it for some wholesome entertainment.
Thus, after twenty-five years of slow but uninterrupted progress stands the
Union Free High School of 1928. Could the old walls of the school building talk, what
a host of prized traditions they would send forth. For each class that has gone out has
left its records, its indelible mark in history, a goal for future classes. Tradition is that
intangible something that makes one proud of associations, that makes one proud to be a
graduate of the school. And scattered far and wide are \Vilmot graduates, each of
whom carries forever a tender thought for Alma Mater.
Each of the graduates has found his own station in life, a worthy one. Many
are still in the community, improving it by their presence, some of them have even
come back to do for others the same as their teachers did for them. A few have become well known, wealthy, even famous, but most are quietly engaged in their daily
tasks. All are kind and courteous, and a credit to their school. All are willing to exchange a few words about the happy days spent in high school.
Unfortunately the activities of the Alumni Association have ceased. Business
associations and life itself make impossible frequent meetings of an organization of this
kind. What a gala day it would be if all could return some day, or even if there could
be representatives of at least each graduating class. At any rate, there should be an
active and interested Alumni organization in the school.

. . . . . . . . . . Winsor Madden

Athletics in Wilmot High School took a sudden spurt in the spring of 1924
when Mr. Mulder became coach. Previously teams were very poorly equipped, and outside interest in school teams was passive. Today, athletics is an institution which is not
only self-supporting, but embraces the policy of "Athletics for All." Community interest is at its height, and on many occasions have three hundred excited fans packed
the gym for a basketball game.
The real sponsor of school sports is the Boys' Athletic Association. Membership is open to any boy in school, and for the past three years, every boy has seen fit to
become a member. Officers, elected yearly, are responsible for carrying on all business
and booking all games, with the assistance of the coach. The basketball manager,
Emerson Schmalfeldt, schedules games, and has charge of all equipment. He receives an official letter for his efforts. The constitution defines all rules of eligibility,
and impowers the athletic council, composed of all the officers of the club, with voting
letters to those who have earned them.
To create interest in other sports, the organization has sponsored several tournaments in boxing, volley ball and track. The boxing tournament aroused considerable
enthusiasm. Contestants were divided into four classes according to weight, a champion
being declared in each group.
The Jungle Volleyball League was decidedly successful. A schedule of sixteen games was played by four teams: the Alligators, Giraffes, Kangaroos, and Hyenas,
captained respectively by Lyle Pacey, Norton Bassett, Ernest Schatteen, and John
Freeman. The last named aggregation, by virtue of losing only a single game, was
crowned champion.
A class track meet was held for the first time in the history of the school in
the spring of 1926. The necessary equipment was purchased by the athletic association,
and after weeks of training the meet was held. The Juniors were easy victors, 'scoring a
majority of first places, and scoring in every event. Lyle McDougall and Norton Bassett excelled in the dashes; Leo Leiting, Fred Forster, Charles Jurevick, and Donald
Tyler were the best distance runners; high and broad jumpers were led by Frank and
Memler; Frank and Dix, a freshman, in the pole vault, while Tyler and Forster won the
weights.
BASKETBALL
No game has grown more in favor in the past decade than basketball. The
\X1ilmot teams have always been among the best in their class, and seldom have been
the years when they have failed to win at least half of their games. At present
the teams are as well equipped as any for miles distant, the suits being made of the very
best material, and each player is equipped with a cozy warming-up suit.
With the improvement in equipment has come improvement in the style of
play. When Mr. Mulder saw that Wilmot teams were decidedly lacking in size, he decided to make up for this handicap with speed and accurate handling of the ball. At
least six weeks early in the season were spent in long and tedious drills on the fundamentals of the game;-passing, dribbling, shooting, and pivoting. As a result, the
speedy little men were polished players, whose clever skill was always pleasing to
the fans. A rigid five man defense has formed no small part of the Wilmot success.

1926-27 SEASON

In 1926-27 Wilmot had what was enthusiastically declared to be the best
team in the history of the school by many fans. Starting slowly until the fundamentals were mastered, the team developed into a smooth-working machine which won nine
consecutive games, tasting defeat only once at the hands of a Wisconsin high school.
Some of the most impressive victories were over Genoa City, Waterford, and Williams
Ray, each of which went down to defeat twice at the hands of Wilmot.
This fast team was composed of Lyle McDougall, captain, and Eugene Frank,
forwards, John Memler and Charles Jurevick, guards, and Leo Leiting center. Eugene
Frank, a veteran of three years, led the scoring with 178 points in IJ games, and was
undoubtedly the greatest forward the school has ever known. His scoring efforts were
greatly aided by the fine passwork of McDougall and Leiting. Memler and Jurevick
were a classy pair of guards whose work was a delight to behold, but who wreaked
havoc upon the opponents' offensive attempts. George Richter was an able substitute
forward.
1927-28

With but one veteran, Captain Memler, left from the great team, Mr. Mulder
built the new team from reserve material of the previous year. In the same methodical
way, the boys mastered the fundamentals of the game, and flashed an offensive' which
was at times more brilliant than that of their predecessors. Too often it was lack of
stamina which spelled defeat for them in the closing minutes of play.
Regular forwards were Richter, Schreck, and Bufton; center, Runyard;
guards, Memler, Roy and Winsor Madden. Bloss was a utility player who alternated at
guard and forward. The regular season resulted in an even break, with eight victories,
and as many defeats. At times the team rose to great heights, as was manifested in two
Llecisive victories over Waterford. George Richter and Chester Runyard tied for scoring
honors with 108 points each. Schreck was third and Captain Memler fourth.
Four regulars graduate, leaving Bufton, W'insor Madden, Schreck, and Bloss,
as a nucleus for next fall. Bernhoft, Rasch, and Jedele are men who will also be considered before a selection is made.
A word of commendation should be given to the second team, whose only reward is experience. Working faithfully amid jeers and hard knocks, they made the first
team what it was. Theirs is a true school spirit. The personnel of the second team was;
-Rasch, center; Bernhoft and Schmalfeldt, forwards; Loftus and Jedele, guards.
THE WATERFORD TOURNAMENT
After having packed away their suits in moth balls, and enjoyed two weeks of
freedom from training rules, the team accepted a last minute call to fill in a gap in the
Waterford Supplementary tournament. Finding it impossible to return to mid-season
form, the boys entered the tournament only as a shell of their former team. They lost
a hard game to the fast and husky Walworth aggregation, came back on the second day
to trounce Union Grove, but lost a heart-breaker to Menominee Falls, 18-17, on Saturday afternoon. Without doubt the boys would have defeated this team easily had they
been in condition. Incidentally, Waterford, a team which had been twice defeated by
\Vilmot, won second place.

BASEBALL
Baseball has long been one of the major sports of the school. Competition is
keen for places on the team, for there is usually a wealth of material, and almost all ot
the boys turn out for America's favorite pastime. Games are usually played with Genoa
City, Richmond, and Williams Bay.
The 1927 team was very successful, winning all except one of its games. Led
by "Shubert" Frank, who pitched, the lineup was as follows: catchers, Roy Madden and
Charles Jurevick; infielders, Runyard, Bufton, Memler, Leiting, and Richter; outfielders,
McDougall, Jurevick, and Schmalfeldt.
The first game in 1928 was lost to Genoa by a score of 4-2. The team proved
to be fast fielding, but not so strong with the bat. George Richter was the pitcher,
others were:-Captain Roy Madden, catcher; Rasch, first base; Bufton, second base;
Schmalfeldt, short stop; Memler, third base; Dix, Bloss, Runyard, Bernhoft, Jedele,
Winsor Madden, and Schreck outfielders.

HI-Y CLUB
The Hi-Y was organized in September 1927 under the direction of A. E.
Nord, Y. M. C. A. Secretary of Racine and Kenosha Counties. The club is under the
local leadership of M. M. Schnurr, who, together with the following officers: President,
Bernard Hockney, Vice President William Bernhoft, Secretary Malcolm Dalton, and
Treasurer Lester Bufton, have guided the activities of the club throughout the year.
The purpose of the Hi-Y is divided into two parts; the general aims, some of which are;
to awaken consciousness of civic responsibility, as to facilitate details' of school administration, and to promote a desirable social attitude. Some of the specific aims of the club
are; to develop school spirit, establish scholarship standards, and to promote thrift. The
time given to the work is a half hour every Tuesday with one hour if a speaker is
present. After the business is transacted discussions are held, of which some are; thrift,
cleanliness, clean speech, health habits, and honor in teacher's absence. Besides takin;;
up mental training, physical training is also discussed. A basketball tournament was
held this spring between four of the Hi-Y organizations, Burlington, Rochester, Union
Grove, and Wilmot, of which \Vilmot was victorious.
Although the Hi-Y has been organized for but a short time, great things are
expected of it in the future. Some of the things that remain for the club 'to do are;
provide for the Christian viewpoint, to demonstrate, experiment, and lead out in certain special fields, to integrate school with other life relationships, to train independent
LESTER BUFTON '29
men, and to supplement the school's socializing program.

~umor
with apologies to College Humor, Life, and Whiz Bang.
Dear Reader:
"Laugh, and the world laughs with you
Weep, and you weep alone."
We submit this Humor Department not as a masterpiece of wit; we have merely attempted to jot down
things that struck us as being funny. If you are a grouch,
if you have a face like a pineapple, which would prick
your skin if you attempted to smile, do not read these
pages. You will get more enjoyment from a study of
Sears and Roebuck's catalog. Twenty-five years from
now, as you gaze reminiscently over these words, if there
is anything in the following pages that will bring a smile
to your lips, we shall consider our department a success.
The Humor Editors,
Irene Haase,
Malcolm Dalton.
P. S.
This space was reserved for our pictures, but after
looking at tht:m, we decided not to submit them.

INTRODUCTION
It was a terrible day in the U. F. H. S. Of course, it was no different than
any other day in our school life, but on this particular day we were informed that all
material for the Humor Department must be handed in to our chief. Horrors! We
had been so deeply interested in our daily lessons for months that the idea of a Humor
Department had never entered our minds. As we searched our efficient and well exercised minds for some suitable material, we gave up in vain-almost. For what had
ever happened in school that was humorous? Our teachers had never taught us any, day
<lfter day our minds were so filled with the all important theories of nouns, pronouns,
equations, polygons, and the like that for the life of us we could not think of a single
cause for laughter during the entire year. \Ve sat back in our seat in the study hall and
gazed idly about with a look of blank despair. Suddenly and unconsciously we laughed.
From behind a huge pile of books on the front desk a thin bespectacled face immediately
protruded. A thin voice piped up, "That will do from you. No more privileges this
week." We almost laughed again. For here was humor on all sides. That intellectual
looking countenance peering from behind those books was the funniest thing we had
seen in ages.

We gazed around some more and were rewarded with a sight for sore eyes.
Here a few seats away was a girl. She was a fat girl.
She had always sat there, but

Page Sixty-four

~~k~~~h:~~
never bt'fore had we seen anything to laugh at. But now she took our attention. She
was more than fat. She was huge. And she was having a terrible time with her hair.
First she would make a pretense of studying for very short intervals, and then would
stop impatiently to remove her hair from before her eyes. Then she would gaze about
in a vain attempt to attract the attention of some handsome shiek nearby. This action
was repeated time and again with no success. It was so pathetic it was positively funny.
And what made it still funnier was the fact that it had happened every day all year
and we had never noticed.
Suddenly a bell rang and immediately pandemonium reigned. We thought the
building was coming down, for everyone was making a mad scramble for the door. In
a minute all was quiet. As we walked about the building we found small groups of
students seated here and there, some with their feet up on a table before them. All
were exceedingly busy devouring sandwiches. It seemed they were racing to see who
would finish first. As we opened one door we were met with a bread crust squarely in
