PRINCIPAL
I am indeed pleased to see this publication dedicated
to the "Spirit of Progress." We cannot go backward, we
cannot stand still, but we must ever move onward. The
pioneer blood of our forefathers still runs in our veins.
We are pushing into new territory alive with the spiri
adventure and keen for the chance to match our
against our problems. If the students of the Union F
High School take to heart the message carried in the
dedication, I am sure that honor and happiness await them
in future life.

BOARD OF EDUCATION
Mr. George Dean
Bassett, Wisconsin
Treasurer

Mr. Otto Schenning
Fox River, Wisconsin
·President

Mr. R. C. Shotliff
Wilmot, Wisconsin
Clerk

The personnel of the Board of Education is too well known to need further
introduction.

Their long tenure of office expresses the confidence which the

members of the Union Free High School District have in their· ability.

The

development of the local school is in no small part due to the leadership and
guidance of these men.

Again the students and faculty wish to express their

sincere appreciation.

FACULTY
MISS MILDRED M. BERGER
Wlien not correcting . the tests and
themes of her English classes, Miss
Thomas spends much of her time en·
joying good music and plays, or read·
ing interesting books. Besides teaching
English and Latin, Miss Thomas is one
of the advisors of the Girls' Dramatic
Club. Planning dramatic activities and
coaching numerous plays keeps her
busy. Golf also hath charm for her.
She left West Salem to attend the University of Wisconsin, from which she
holds a B. A. degree.

Shorthand and typing she knew full
well, and sparec! not to impart all she
knew. Miss Berger's musical ability
finds an outlet in the High School .Orchestra, and she is the pianist for the
Girls' Chorus. She finds much pleas·
ure in collecting rare coins and stamps.
Since she took charge of the Commercial Department, the room is a source
of keen delight to anyone interested in
famous sayings. Whitewater State
Teachers' College is her Alma Mater
and Genoa City her home.
MISS ALICE S. KUENZLI
It is Miss Kuenzli who keeps our library in A No. 1 condition and teaches
History and the Social Sciences. She
takes an active interest in the Girls'
Dramatic Club and other activities,
among which is the development of an
interesting gym class, for which the
girls are decidedly grateful. Golf and
ice skating are her favorite sports. Living in Waukesha, she took advantage
of the opportunity offered by Carroll
College and received a B. A. degree
from same.

MR. WILLIAM V. LIESKE
The intricacies of numbers and the
deep mysteries of pure facts enticed
Mr. Lieske to be a teacher of Mathematics>and Science. Athletics, particularly baseball and basketball, are his
chief diversions. Lose or win, the boys
coached by Mr. Lieske keep plugging
and plugging. In his spare time one
finds him experimenting with all sorts
of chemicals and devices. His home is
at Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and he is an
alumnus of the Eau Claire State
Teachers' College.

MARK, ELVA
"A friend in need is a friend indeed." No truer
saying would characterize "Marks." Her pleasing personality was contagious to all those about
her. She was an active member of the Girls' Dramatic Club and the Girls' Chorus. We have
been reliably informed that if she can evade the
bonds of matrimony she will dedicate all of her
talents to become an outstanding kindergarten
teacher.
PEPPER, RUTH
"Looks are deceiving." Could one but look behind the quiet smile on Ruthie's face, what an
active, busy mind would be seen. Much of her
energy was used in the Girls' Dramatic Club
and the Girls' Chorus. The card catalogue of
the library held great fascination for her. Her
capability in Latin was an indication of her ambition which was to be a teacher of foreign
languages.
SCHOLD, HAZEL
Willingness, cheer, and a heart overflowing
with tenderness made up Hazel Schold. She will
always be remembered for her thorough work as
editor of the Echo. She was also a member of
the Girls' Dramatic Club and the Girls' Chorus.
To be an efficient city librarian was one of her
dreams. And fortunate indeed will be the library which will be the recipient of all her talents.

STOCKWELL, MILDRED
The queer twistings and twirlings of shorthand
fascinated Mildred. Perhaps it was because she
wanted to be a stenographer. The merry rattle
of a typewriter was music to her ears. Whoever
is fortunate enough to obtain the services of
Mildred will find in her neatness, accuracy and
industry.
VAN LIERE, MARJORIE
Music hath char;,_s, and so hath the musrctan.
Marjorie was a lover of music, her ability being
shown both in the High School orchestra and
the Girls' Chorus. She was very popular, which
was indicated by her being chosen president of
her class and of the Girls' Dramatic Club in her
Senior year. Her ambition was to become a
J!Urse.

VINCEN;:J:', CLAUDIA
t(Leave a smile where once there was a tear,"

seems to characterize Claudia. Her sunny disposition and ready smile combined with that rare
tactfulness which is found in few persons made
her one of the corner-stones of the Senior class.
She added much to the Girls' Dramatic Club
and the Girls' Chorus. The future will find
Claudia a teacher or a 4-H Club leader, perhaps both.

THE SENIOR CLASS HISTORY
All the innumerable happy events which the class of Nineteen Hundred
and Thirty-one has experienced would fill volumes. Only a few of the past
experiences can be related here.
The first school day in September in the fall of 1927, eighteen frightened
freshmen found their way to the assembly.
The sophomore class made life miserable for the newcomers for several
weeks, but all survived. It was a great satisfaction for the poor mistreated freshmen to secure third prize on their float in the parade at the West Kenosha County
Fair, with the aggressive sophomores receiving fourth.
Soon the new class became active in school activities. Several of the girls
affiliated with the Pepper Club and others with the Glee Club. When the call
for basketball came, four of the boys in the class appeared on the second squad.
The same four boys competed in baseball.
The class of 1931 has gained many scholastic honors. Many of the students
succeeded in getting on the honor roll. Three of the boys went to Madison the
first year because of their splendid records in agriculture.
At the beginning of the sophomore year four students were missing, and
one new student entered. The fine spirit of co-operation and friendliness of the
class was largely aided by Mr. Schnurr, who was our class advisor for the first two
years.
Junior rollcall showed that the class had the unlucky number of thirteen,
but during the course of events throughout the year it proved to be the opposite.
We welcomed Miss Thomas as our class advisor to take the place of Mr. Schnurr,
who now became principal. It was with her assistance that we won first on our
float at the fair.
Climaxing the year, was a most successful Junior Prom. The plan for the
decoration of the Gymnasium was an "Old Fashioned Moonlight Garden." On
the white latticed fence around the side were clusters of various colored hollyhocks.
The entry was decorated with pine boughs. The garden was entered through a
white gate swinging through an arch. The sky was of blue and orchid crepe paper.
The garden plan was again carried out when the Juniors decorated the stage
for Commencement. A small rock garden and banks of flowers formed the
decorations.
The last year came, and as it draws to a close the classmates look forward
with regret to the days when they will leave \'Vilmot High School and the teachers
and school mates, who added so much to their happiness during the past four
years.
During the time that the class was in school, it showed it was wide awake in
all ways, leaving behind an excellent and enviable scholastic and activity record.
Every member of the Senior class feels that each one has advantageously spent his
time, and know their havingbeen in this school will prove an everlasting benefit to
themselves and hope that their Alma Mater will ever be proud of them.

the good ship of '32 through many a

Silver Lake.

Being custodian of the records and
funds of the class of '32 is no small
job, It is rumored that a certain motor
cop affords her protection in many instances when d an g e r lurked just
around the corner. Her favorite form
of recreation was dancing.

·KAVANAGH, JACK, Vice President

To MISS ALICE KUENZLI, Advisor

Because the president has never been
absent, Jack never had a chance to
hancile the affairs, but we are sure he
would be a success. Jack is a cartoonist
of note and a dancer of unusual grace.
For particula~s apply to a certain Sen·
ior girl.

The Junior Class is decidedly grate·
ful for the advice 'and counsel offered
us by you, Miss Kuenzli, especially in
making our Junior Prom a success.
Your interest and enthusiasm in all the
activities of the cfass was a stimulant
to all its ID.embers.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY
'Twas a day in September in the fall of 1928 that an expectant, eager group
of thirty students entered the Union Free High School to begin their high school
career. The first few days were .spent in registration, introductions to teachers, as
well as~friends and surroundings. After the much dreaded initiation, the "freshies"
settled down to hard work.
·
Some of the boys, Leonard Ward, Ernest Oberhofer, Donald Schmalfeldt,
.Richard De Bell, and Jack Kavanagh, joined the Hi-Y, while most of·the girls took
a place in the chorus.
• Towards the end of the school year rumors of a school picnic floated about
and soon. turned into a reality. One bright afternoon the members of thed:lass, together with two members of the faculty, Mrs. Olsen and Mr. Weigel, motored to
Paddock's Lake; where a pleasant afternoon was spent. To complete it, the class attended a movie, "The Desert Song," at the Kenosh~ Theater. So we ended the first
year of high school, and we must admit it was enjoyed very nmck
·
The second year found the same group of young people, this time as Sophomor,es, .ready for another year of hard work, This year proved a lucky one for' us,
·for two of our number, Mariel.Dean and "Richard De Bell, won medals. in thb
oratorical and declamatory contests, while two of the boys; Arthur Hahtrian 3.n(l
Richard De Bell, won positions as. well as letters.on the first basketball squad.
,:
The organization of the Girls' Dramatic Club under the leadership of Miss
Thiessen and Miss Thomas also took place, and many of the girls j~ined.
In the fall of 1930 the same group with a few exceptions took up their work
as Juniors. With the organization of the school orchestra some of the class joined,
while work in the Dramatic Club and Hi-Y was also resumed. Helen Loftus was
elected Secretary and Treasurer of the Dramatic Club as well as Assistant Treas, urer of the school.
·
According to custom, the students in their Junior year choose a class ring.
Such was the task of the Juniors about the middle of the first semester. And what
a task it was! After debating for several days, a ring was finally decided upon, and
everyone was well pleased with the choice.

•
·"'

··;~·(

The Junior Class decided to take half the responsibility of publishing the
1931 Echo with many of our number receiving responsible positions on the staff.
Gwendolyn Shotton was selected associate editor and Richard De Bell, business
manager. Again several members of our class received letter awards in basketball,
and more received positions on the baseball team.
It is the task of the Junior Class to give a Prom, an event of importance and
interest to every student, and the members of the class promise their support in
making it a big success.
As Seniors we hope to complete a task that was begun three years before
and we are sure that success will crown our efforts.

As the president of the largest class
in high school, Dick has quite a task,
but he is very capable of holding the

officers.

To MR. WILLIAM LIESKE, Advisor
For two years we have had suggestions and help from you, Mr. Lieske,
in working out our class problems. To
say that we,are thankful for your help
wo~J.ld be putting it mild. Again ·we
wish to express our sincere appreciation.

HARM, AMY, Vice President
To aid the president as well as presiding over the meeting to which he is
absent is the task of Amy, but she has
more than proved her. capability. She
found it quite pleasant working with
someone whom she understands so well

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY
Like other young freshman classes entering Wilmot Union Free High
School, the class of 1933 was composed of bashful girls and boys-thirty-three in
number. Although a few of this number had merely to think of climbing the stairs
to a new class room, the majority of us had to become acquainted with new surl'Oundings and faces. Having been informed by the upper classmen that the seats
near the door were reserved tor the "freshies," we immediately settled down. Soon
after the bell rang, we felt a bit more at ease until each of us was asked to pass
into the library and register. Nervously, and yet proudly, we paraded into the
adjoining room one by one. This, of course, was a very difficult task, since we
were hot accustomed to seeing so many eyes staring at us. Then, too, every once
in a while we could hear a witty remark about us passed to a neighbor of the
"superior classmen" on the other side of the room.
The teachers, however, proved to be very sympathetic, and we soon gained
courage. Directly after registration our class advisor, Mr. William Lieske, was
assigned to us. We met with him in the mathematics room. He discussed high
school customs and activities with us, and already we began to feel that sophisticated air which high school students are said to possess. Class officers, motto, and
colors were chosen;
During the next few days of school we were busily engaged with studies.
Soon, however, the freshmen were asked to prepare a float to be entered in the
West Kenosha County Fair parade. Each of us worked hard on this, our first
important task outside of our studies at the high school. The result of our hard
work after school hours was very gratifying, since our float received third place.
Not only did the float decorating provide an excellent opportunity for us to
become familiar with the true school spirit of co-operation, but it also gave us
time to become acquainted with our fellow classmates.
After the county fair, our class returned with a greater enthusiasm for high
school life. Most of the girls became members of the Glee Club and the newly
organized Dramatic Club. Many of the boys joined the Hi-Y. Some showed
excellent ability in athletics; Richard Hansen, Alfred Oetting, and Floyd Memler
winning letters in their Freshman year, which is very excellent.
Thirty-one boys and girls enrolled in our sophomore class this last
September. Three of this number were newcomers-Doris Gillmore, Georgiana
Naylor, and Richard Aylward. Again, our class proved very active in extracurricular activities. In addition to continuing their membership in the organizations of the past year, many sophomores joined the high school orchestra. We are
also extremely proud of our scholastic record, as several members of our class
appeared regularly on the Honor Roll.
Soon we shall have completed the first half of our journey. Within two
more years, we hope to attain additional knowledge as well as enjoy school life, and
arrive at the gate to success-Commencement.

In Bob the freshmen found one interested as well as capable of doing the

him in more than one instance.

HOCKNEY, JUNE, Vice President.

To MISS MILDRED BERGER,
Advisor

June has had no chances to preside
over the class meetings, but we know
she is capable of it. Dancing holds
much charm for her, and when not
looking to this as a form of recreation,
June takes hikes to <.>ne of the largest
farms in western Kenosha County.

The life of a freshman is full of
doubts, fears, and uncertainties. We
found,,you, Miss Berger, always willing
to gi.ve us your time and counsel on the
problems which confronted our class.
Without you, the class of '34 would be
like a ship without a sail.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY

A day in September in the fall of 1930 found thirty-two freshmen wartmg
eagerly to gain admittance to the Union Free High SchooL However, after entering
the building and finding unfamiliar surroundings and faces, they lost much of
their confidence and became just the least bit nervous and excited. The upper classmen added to their fears by taunting and teasing them.
Then came the introductions to the teachers and registration, which took up
the greater part of the morning. In the afternoon short classes were held to enable
the teachers and students to become better acquainted and give the students an idea
of what was expected of them. So ended the first day of high school, and even
though it was a rather unpleasant one for the freshies, they were delighted in relating to friends the proceedings of the day.
In the following days the freshmen .were forced to contend with the continual razzing of the upper classmen, but they were able to bear up wonderfully well
under the trying ordeal. Then came the spreading of the word "initiation" about
the school. Even the green "freshies," for such the other students referred to them,
knew the meaning of the word, and their hearts were once more filled with fear.
The ensuing days held everlasting terrors for them as they visualized the
stunts which the upper classmen woud play on them. At last the memorable night
of initiation arrived, and the freshmen hesitatingly filed into the gym. More razzing and playing of jokes, and it was over with.
The freshmen now felt more a part of the school, since they had been initiated. Some of the boys joined the Hi-Y Club and the girls the chorus and the
Dramatic Club. The organization of an orchestra captured the interests of many
members of the class.
At the beginning of basketball season, petitions were circulated for nominees
for cheer-leaders. After try-outs, the election followed. Lucile "Beanie" Weaver
was elected first cheer-leader and Fern McDougall as her assistant. The choice has
not been regretted, for they have proved themselves very capable.
We are exceptionally proud of our scholastic record made thus far, as many
of our members are consistently found on the Honor Roll. Several boys have regularly turned out for basketball practice, and we are sure they will eventually find
their place on the first squad.
The end of the year came around too soon to suit the freshmen, but they
are all looking forward to adding more laurels to their class in future years.

Again-we present Mr. Vincent. You may
call him the janitor, but all students and teachers of the Union Free High School for the last
eleven years call him their life long friend.
Perhaps the greatest tribute we can pay Mr.
Vincent is expressed in the words of an alumnus of this school when he said, "The reason
Mr. Vincent has so many friends among Wilmot High School alumni, teachers, and students is because he has always been a friend
to them."

MR. ELMER VINCENT

'THE MODERN HIGH SCHOOL
The modern high school is a complex institution. It is a community in itself;
a center of culture, cooperation, and service; where youth spends his four most
impressionable years in condensed living, meeting the problems of life under competent direction; cooperating and competing with those of his own generation; developing his abilities; forming proper tastes, prejudices and habits; becoming acquainted with the best that has been thought, said or done through all the ages;
acquiring his heritage of traditions and knowledge bequeathed by all mankindi';
gaining an understanding of life and the natural laws that influence it; growing in
self-confidence, self-control and self-respect; finding his possibilities and limitations; discriminating between culture and coarseness; enjoying the beautiful in
natural phenomena and human endeavor; exercising driving power in attacking
worth while problems; experiencing the joy in striving and the pleasure that comes
from doing good works; and building into his personality ideals, aims and purposes to lead him on to the best expression of himself and the greatest service to
mankind.
-Illinois High School Athlete.

GIRLS' DRAMATIC CLUB
On September 29, 1929, twenty-eight peppy girls under the leadership of
Miss Thiessen and Miss Thomas, met and organized a Dramatic Club. They chose
lola Harm, president, Hazel Schold, vice president, Irene Ha.ase, secretary ~n·
zreasurer, and set the second Thursday of the month for the1r regular meetmg ··
date. The purpose of the club is to promote dramatics in our high school and
to engage in activities which will benefit the girls from the standpoint of selfexpression through presenting various entertainments to the public.
During the first year the club co-operated with the Boys' Athletic Association in sponsoring a play, "Come Out of the Kitchen" and also entertained the
students at school parties. With the exception of a few girls who dropped out,
all were highly in favor of continuing the club in 1930.
In 1930 they selected the following officers: president, Marjorie Van Liere;
vice president, Gwendolyn Shotton; secretary and treasurer, Helen Loftus. The
club hopes to make their organization keep growing in the future and to promote
a firm understanding among the girls in our Alma Mater.

GIRLS' CHORUS
Vocal instruction was introduced into the school in 1928 under the direction
..,f Mr. C. E. Nielsen of Kenosha. At first it was attempted to include the entire
.udent body in the work, but this. was found to be impracticable. The climax of
'9e year's work was reached in a successful negro minstrel.
The fall df 1929 again found many students interested in this type of work
and Mr. Nielsen developed what has since been known as the Girls' Chorus.
Under his supervision and with the help of Miss Thiessen an operetta, "The Ghost
of Lollypop Bay" was successfully staged. The Chorus also sang at the class
play and the commencement exercises.
Twenty-six girls joined the Chorus in 1930 and developed a group noted
for its unusual· harmony. Another operetta "The American Girl" was staged and
highly commended. Miss Berger as pianist and Miss Thomas as dramatic coach
assisted in the work. The Chorus has greatly been enjoyed by all those who
participated in its activities and its members greatly appreciate the efforts of Mr.
Nielsen.

HI-Y CLUB
The first activity for the Hi-Y Club in the year 1930-31 was to extend its
membership to those boys in school who wished to join. Under the direction of
Mr. A. C. Nord, Y. M. C. A. Secretary of Racine and Kenosha County; Mr. W. V.
Lieske, local advisor; President, Richard De Bell; Vice President, Richard Hansen;
Secretary and Treasurer, Jack Kavanagh, the new members were admitted to the
club and acquainted with its objectives and ideals,. whi~h are to create, mai?-t~i~;:;
and extend throughout the school and the commumty hrgh standards of Chnstralittj~
character. The motto of the organization is clean speech, clean sports, clean
scholarship, and clean living.
Meetings are held every second Tuesday between twelve and one o'clock.
After the business is transacted, the remaining time is turned over to speakers and
discussion of boys' problems. Some recent topics were maintaining self-control,
question of etiquette and courtesy, selection of vocation, health habits, and value
of athletics.
Physical training is also a part of Hi-Y work. At various intervals during
the year, other HI-Y Clubs are engaged in competitive games of basketball,
which terminate in the annual Hi-Y basketball tournament.

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA
A local chapter of the Future Farmers of America was organized in 1928
under the leadership of Mr. Schnurr. The activities of the organization have
been confined largely to supporting judging teams, sponsoring 4-H club work,
f.nd developing project work.
We are a part· of the state organization, which holds its annual meeting at
the time of the judging contest in Madison. This in turn is part of the national
organization from which our local chapter holds its charter. Several members are
beginning work to compete in the Future Farmers' Oratorical Contest. The
officers of the organization at present are Richard De Bell, president; Richard
Hansen, vice president; George Hockney, secretary and treasurer.
•

It is hoped that in the future this organization will accept more and more
of the responsibility connected with the agricultural program of the school. This
undoubtedly will take several years to accomplish.

JUDGING TEAM
The annual trip to the Judging Contest at Madison is an eagerly anticipated
event by the boys in the Agricultural classes. About September 15th Mr. Schnurr
made plans for the contest, which was to be held on October lOth. Three teams
including Richard Hansen, Floyd Memler, and Alfred Oetting in the Livestock
group; Joe Groff, Louis Winn, and Preston Stoxen in the grain judging group;
George Hockney, Richard De Bell, and 'William Bernhoft on the meat judging team
were chosen. The grain and livestock teams were coached by our agricultural
teacher, Mr. Schnurr, while the meat team received considerable training from~
Mr. Klein. The trip to Madison was made in George Hackney's Ford, being towed
part of the way by Alfred Oetting's Chevrolet. We arrived at Madison at 4:30
and settled in our rooms at, the Park Hotel. ·Curfew rang at 10 o'clock, and it
found us all ready for bed?? Louis Winn had considerable trouble with his
pocket book, and put his money in his shoe.
The next morning the contest took place, some of us working in the
morning and some in the afternoon. Three of the boys, who hated to miss school,
managed to be at East Side High School at dismissal time The next morning we
went to Agriculture Hall to get the returns of Friday's work. After the awards
were given out, we checked out at the hotel and prepared to go to the football
game. The strong Wisconsin eleven defeated Chicago. We returned home after
the game, much happie~ and wiser because of our experiences.

ORCHESTRA
The High School Orchestra has gone through periods of flourishment and
depression. In September, 1930, interest in an orchestra was revived, Mr. Aldrich
of Richmond having charge of the newly awakened activity.
A few of the members, who had had some previous experience, were organized into a small group, and the remainder took individual instructions from Mr.
Aldrich. The advanced group is the goal of every member of the orchestra.
On December 17, 1930, the orchestra made its first public appearance in a
dual program with the Girls' Chorus. The reaction of the audience proved highly
complimentary to the work of Mr. Aldrich. The orchestra was asked to play at several other publjc entertainments, including a three-act play put on by the P. T. A.,
the Randall Township Contest, the Operetta entitled "The American Girl," and
the Senior Class play.
We hope that everyone will continue to "back up" our musicians, not only
to help the students, but for social and community betterment as well.

THE ECHO STAFF

After many hours of pleasant labor our task is completed. We have endeavored to present a. true picture of high school life. Each member of the staff has
worked unceasingly and shown unbounded enthusiasm in the preparation of his department.
We hope that when you "browse" through the pages of this 1931 Echo, it will
prove to be a real pleasure and benefit to you. If this is accomplished, we will consider our efforts worthwhile.
I wish again to express my sincere appreciation to everyone who has helped
to make the 1931 Echo a success.

FARM SHOP

Four years of vocational work is offered in both the commercial and agricultural departments. The above pictures show the senior typing class and the farm
shop class, composed of Juniors and Seniors in action. The practicability of these
c:rmrses has made them very popular among the students.
The remaining courses offered in the commercial department are two years of
shorthand, one in bookkeeping, and one of business science, while the agricultural
department offers one year of animal husbandry, one year of plant husbandry, and
one year of rural economics.

CAPTAINS

CHARLES LAKE

ALFRED OETTING

Captain during both his Junior and
Senior year is the tribute of the squad
to him. Many times during his career
he provided the extra points needed
to win games. A hard worker, good
loser, and good winner are the characteristics which will long cause Wilmot
H i g h to remember the deeds of
Charles Lake.

Captain as a freshman is unusual,
but his ability showed he deserved the
honor. Alfred "Fritz" Oetting was
easily the best backstop Wilmot High
has had for several years. This combined with a good arm and the ability
to provide base hits when needed left
nothing to be desired.

ATHLETICS
Athletics are sponsored by the Boys' Athletic Association. This organization is
guided by George Hockney, President; Richard Hansen, vice·president, and Bill
Bernhoft, Business Manager, with Mr. Lieske and· Mr. Schnurr faculty members
of the Executive Committee. The duties of this group are to develop a program of
sports which will reach every boy in school, provide the teams with suitable schedules and equipment, and finance all athletic activities. This constitutes a man"size
job.
We endeavor to reach every individual with our program as is illustrated by
the size of the group participating in basketball. To justify athletics in the school,
they must not only embody the health and physical development but also must add
something to the character of the persons participating, whether it be to win or lose
fairly, to take hard knocks, to work with the group or to give their best at all times.
Our teams have won, and our teams have lost, but we feel that every individual
will be a better man because of having participated. We hope that the Athletic Association will keep up the good work started several years ago and eventually develop to the highest degree the policy of athletics for all 1 and by all, with a definite
plan in the school program.

BASKET BALL
The Wilmot 1930-31 basket ball team with nearly all last year's veterans had
a fairly successful season, but seemed to have a jinx which lost many games by
narrow margins. The team, taken as a whole, was one to be proud of because their
spir;t throughout the year in the face of injuries and sickness was excellent, althot.gh the larger end of more scores would always be welcome. The season started
out well, but in the third game of the year, our star center, Hansen, was injured.
This proved to be a great handicap, and it was not again until near the end of the
seasC'n that the team began to click.
The record of four wins and eight losses does not give a clear picture of the
season. Three of the games lost were lost by one point, and two were played with
crippled lineups. The personnel of the first team consisted of Bernhoft, Oetting,
Forwards; Aylward: Hansen, Centers; De Bell, Lake, Guards with Rasch and Hartman as reserves.
A word should be sal'd about the second team, composed of Anderson as
Center, Berry and Memler as Forwards, and ~toxen and Kavanagh as Guards. The
record of the second team consists of five gaJ;Iles won and three lost.
The teams were coached by Mr. Lieske, who deserves much credit for the
success of the season.

WILMOT, I9-ALLENDALE, 7
This was a hard fought game with a great deal of fouling. Many of the end
runs failed dismally because of imperfect interference.
WILMOT, 20-CLINTON, 9
This, our first conference game was played at Clinton. Hansen was hot and
flopped in six wickets and a free throw. Oetting sunk three field goals.
WILMOT, I6-WILLIAMS BAY, 17
This was a fast and close game; the lead changing hands several times. Our
season jinx put in its appearance when Hansen injured his knee.
WILMOT, I2-KENOSHA VOCATIONALS, 22
The first half ended 7-6 in our favor, but during the second half we were
snowed under. The game was played at Wilmot. Gimmel was Kenosha's big shot.
WILMOT, 4-UNION GROVE, 5
The spectators got their money's worth at this game. The score was tied with
eighteen seconds left to play when Union Grove scored on a free throw, winning
the game.
WILMOT, II-WATERFORD, I7
With Aylward and Hansen both out, it became necessary to shift De Bell to
cente.r. We staged a rally late in the game, but could not overcome Waterford's
lead.
WILMOT, IO-GENOA CITY, I4
Free throws lost this game. Several times we had chances to forge ahead on
gift shots. The boys enjoyed a delicious lunch at Miss Berger's home after the
game.
WILMOT, II-WALWORTH, I8
Walworth had a fast, clever team which showed its best at this game. One free
throw out of ten trys tells the story of this defeat.
WILMOT, 29-CLINTON, 13
With every man breaking into the scoring column, we early defeated Clinton.
Hansen returned to the lineup in this game and gave a good account of himself.
WILMOT, 8-WILLIAMS BAY, 16
This game was tied until the middle of the last quarter, when Williams Bay
broke loose with some long shots. A large delegation of rooters accompanied the
team.
WILMOT, I2-WALWORTH, 13
Leading most of the way, and then to lose out in the last minutes of play is
the story of this game. Personal fouls removed our center from the game during
the first half.
WILMOT, I2-KENOSHA VOCATIONALS, 32
The Vocats showed great improvement over our first conflict with them. They
were easily the best team we met this year. This game was played in Kenosha.
WILMOT, 15-UNION GROVE, I2
Dame Fortune chased our jinx. The end of the game found us on the long end
of the score. Lake sewed the game up with a sensationa! long shot.
WILMOT, I6-WATERFORD, 20
We gave Waterford a scare at their homecoming game. We could not pull the
game out of the fire .. This was our last out of town game of the season.

BASEBALL
Baseball, the king of American sports, has for a long time held the interest of
the student body of Wilmot High. The team of 1930 was composed of threefourths inexperienced men, which resulted in their losing their first four ge1mes
and taking the last two. Prospects for next year's team are very promising, as a
majority of the members will be back.
The first game was played at Waterford, e1nd we finished at the short end of
an 11-8 score. We did considerable experimenting on the mound, trying out three
pitchers, Hartman, Schmalfeldt, and Mathews." A rally in the last inning ended with
three men on base.
The second game was played on the home field, the opposition being furnished
by Genoa City. It turned into a sort of a track ~eet as indicated by the high score,
which after several hours of competition showed Genoa City 21, Wilmot 20. Errors
at first base allowed ten of Genoa's runs to cro~s the plate.
Things didn't look much brighter after the third game, the score being Waterford 8, Wilmot 5; at Wilmot. Bernhoft started to pitch, but it was his off day, and
his control was not up to its usual standard, forcing in several runs. Nevertheless,
he looked like a diamond in the rough, and we are expecting great things of him.

The fourth game was lost to Clinton at Clinton with a score of 20-5. Our left
fielder became a victim of "dropsy," and dropped into a ditch twice instead of
catching the ball. This allowed seven runs to cross home plate in the first inning.
Our modest left fielder offered no alibi, but we excused him because the rough
field was really the cause of his spills.
Our first victory was against Genoa City at their home park. The final score
was 17-14. Bernhoft and Mathews shared the pitching burden, while "Duke Cobwebs" Hartman and Captain Oetting supplied the hits which drove in our runs.
Oetting's home run in the last inning with two on was the feature of the game.
The last game of the season was the best. Our games usually last seven frames,
but this called for two more. Bernhoft pitched the entire game and was never in
better form. He accumulated thirteen strikeouts and won his own game with a dean
single in the ninth inning. The final score was 5-4. All members of the team played
"heads up" ball. Incidentally this was the only defeat suffered by Clinton during
the season.

THE HIGH SCHOOL GAME
A high school game has an appeal all its own. It reaches inside of you and
takes hold of your heart and tugs at it.
Perhaps it is because the high school youngsters, both in the stands and on the
field, represent youth at its very best-unspoiled and unsophisticated. They have
not yet reached the point where they are afraid that unfettered enthusiasm may
make them a bit ridiculous.
There is a do-or-die spirit that makes up for all errors. Players and spectators
alike are on fire with energy. The atmosphere is electric.
There is one queer feature about watching a high school game. Before the
thing is over you are apt to find a mist coming into your eyes now and then, a lump
rising to clog your throat.
For the high school kids have something that we older ones have pretty well
lost-something that they themselves will lose in a few years. They have enthusiasm. They are able to make of the crossing of a whitewashed line or the flipping of
a ball into a basket an event as important as the World War. They can scream
themselves into exhaustion simply because a lad named Kozinski is able to run ten
yards without being knocked down, or carrom a ball from a backboard through
the hoop.
Now this youthful enthusiasm is going to be spoiled in a few years. It can't
last. But while it lasts its possibilities are infinite. These youngsters, if they onlv
knew it, have the world in their hands. They could make it over.

FOOTBALL
Football instruction was given during our regular gym periods by Mr. Lieske.
Several of the boys became very enthusiastic after learning something about the
game, with the result that a game was arranged with Fox Lake. About sixteen men
reported for practice and of course some eliminations were made, such as Art
Hoff and "Chink" Mathews, who were constantly being mistaken for the ball.
After a week's practice, we started for Fox Lake with one ball, thirteen players
and three-fourths of a unifonn. The game started at four o'clock and after sixty
minutes of hard, fierce football, Fox Lake had crossed our goal line twice, while
the best we could do was to reach their five-yard line. Coach Lieske was well
pleased with the showing made.
The outstanding men in the line were De Bell, center; Oberhofer and Hansen
at tackle, and Anderson at end. In the back field, Oetting did most of the ball carrying, although Aylward and Bernhoft pulled off some nice runs.
The boys were very enthusiastic about football after their "baptism" of fire.
Considerable talk is heard about the school corridors, relative to having a regular
team next year. Time will tell.
BOXING
Just as surely as spring appears the blood of youth calls for action, fast, furious action. We have discovered an outlet for this superabundance of energy by
holding the annual boxing tournament. Entrants are voluntary, weight matched
against weights, and then as the old saying goes, "The fun begins." The matches
are limited to three one and one-half minute rounds, with one minute between. In
case of a draw, one extra round is allowed; if still a draw, a coin is tossed to decide
the winner.

GIRLS' GYM CLASS
If one were to wander into the gym on a Wednesday or Friday afternoon
from 3:15 to 4:00, he would see the girls' gym class in action.
Never before in the history of the school has the girls' enthusiasm been so
great for gymnastics. This is due to the instruction and guidance of Miss Kuenzli.
The girls are very interested as well as delighted in participating in the
weekly basketball games which are run on schedule-the winners playing the winners and the losers playing the losers. This method eventually works down to two
teams which play for the championship.
Not only basketball, but indoor basball, volley ball, dancing, and physical
exercises make the gym class interesting. Although few are yet able to turn cart
wheels or stand on their head, nevertheless everyone is learning fast and with a
little more practice they will be accomplished athletes.

BEYOND ALL THINGS
"He played the game"What finer epitaph can stand?
Or who can earn a fairer fame
When Time at last has called his hand?
Regardless of the mocking roar,
Regardless of the final score,
To fight it out, raw blow for blow,
Until your time has come to go
On out beyond all praise or blame,
Beyond the twilight's purple glow,
Where Fate can write against your
name
This closing line for friend or foe:
"He played the game."
"He played the game"What more is there than one can say?
What other word might add acclaim
To this lone phrase that rules the fray?
Regardless of the breaks of. chance,
Regardless of all circumstance,
To rise above the whims of Fate,
Where dreams at times are desolate,
Where failure seems your final aim
And Disappointment is your mate,
Where Life can write in words of flame
This closing line above the gate:
"He played the game."
-GRANTLAND RICE.

YOUR BEST IN BASKETBALL
Did you miss the goal,
Did the ball bound out,
Tho' you put your soul in the shot?
Did your ears grow hot
With the jeering shout
From the so-called "sports" that were
not?
Did you do your best? That's all I care
No matter if "tin-horns" tear their hair
For the test of the game is the way
you played
And not the number of points you
made
If you kept the code and always were
square,
Your effort was pleasing to God, ac prayer
And victory after all is there,
To ever play fair!
-DANIEL CHASE,

"TEAM WORK"
If you're center on a football team
You do not run the ends.
And the half-backs can't call signals,
But a lot on him depends;
And the tackle doesn't take the ball,
And the ends don't hit the line,
But yet they're all important, and
Their duties intertwine;
For what good is a half-back
If the tackles do not hold?
And the end'll be a detriment
Unless he does as told;
And unless the center snaps the ball
At just the time and place,
The teamwork of the whole is goneA sure sign of disgrace.
And so it is in other things,
Whate'er our job may be.
If major one or minor, where
Results we cannot see,
We do our part and don't complain
Because our praise is less,
We bring on teamwork of the wholeA sure sign of success.
THE CONQUEROR
It's easy to laugh when the skies are
blue
And the sun is shining bright;
Yes, easy to laugh when your friends
are true
And there's happiness in sight;
But when hope has fled and the skies
are gray,
And the friends of the past have
turned away,
Ah, then indeed it's a hero feat
To conjure a smile in the face of defeat.
It's easy to laugh when the battle's
fought
And you know that the victory's
won;

Yes, easy to laugh when the prize you
sought
Is yours when the race is run;
Rnt here's to the man who can laugh
when the blast
Oi adversity blows; he will conque~
at last,
For the hardest man in the world to
beat
Is the man who can laugh in the
face of defeat.

ALUMNI OFFICERS
HARM, BERNEICE, Secretary and
Treasurer

DALTON, CYRIL, President
After. graduating, he attended Whitewater State Teachers' College and is now
teaching mathematics in the Beloit Junior
High School. His address is 1308 Nelson
Avenue, The Alumni Association is fortunate in having him as a guiding hand.
This is his second year as president.

Upon graduatio'h in 1928, she entered
the County Superintendent's office as hi&
stenographer and secretary. Her home address is Spring Grove, Illinois, but mail
will reach her at the Court House, Kenosha, Wisconsin. The records of the Alum·
ni Association are "safe in her capable
hands.

SCHENNING, BERT, Vice President

SWENSON, HERBERT, Business
Manager.

He is ·at present credit manager at Marshall Fields Company in Chicago, his address being 3039 N. California Avenue.
All those who witnessed the enthusiasm
of Bert at last year's alumni banquet know
that we have a real booster for Wilmot
High School.

With the increase in the size of our organization, it wa;· found necessary to form
the new office of Business Manager. Because of his ability in such lines, Herb
Swenson was selected for the position. His
address is 6706 27th Avenue, Kenosha,
Wisconsin.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
The year 1929 marked the rejuvenation of the Alumni Association. Through
the efforts of the parents of the graduating class, cooperating with several alumni
and the High School faculty, an alumni banquet was held at the gym. It was well
attended; many alumni renewing the bonds of friendship which were so dear to
them in their high school days.
In the spring of 1930 through the efforts of the officers of the association,
Cyril Dalton, Rhoda Jedele, and Berneice Harm, an exceptionally enthusiastic
alumni banquet was held. Henry Blim, a graduate of the first class of 1905, was
the toastmaster of the evening.

The graduates of the class of 1930 were welcomed into the Alumni Association
by Cyril Dalton, president. The response was given by Adolph Fiegel, president
of that class. Reminiscence of former high school days were given by Bert Schenning, Mrs. Roy Murdock, and Herbert Swenson. Mr. R. S. Ihlenfeldt, former prin•
cipal of this school, also recalled many happy incidents of former days, and Mr.
l\11. M. Schnurr, present principal, issued a standing invitation to all alumnus to
come back whenever possible. After the banquet, the evening was spent in dancing.
It is hoped that the same spirit will prevail in 1931, and that many more graduates
wrll return to the banquet and dance.
We, the alumni editors, wish to thank the alumni and friends of Wilmot High
School for the assistance given us in making this department as complete as possible. The following pages of autographs speak for themselves, as to the interest
you have shown. We found it impossible to reach each alumnus, as many have
drifted to other parts of the country where their business and personal interests
have attracted them. We would, at all times, appreciate a word from you as to your
whys and whereabouts. We have omitted the directory in this department and have
substituted the autograph section, which we felt, while probably not as complete, is
decidely more accurate, as all addresses are less than four months old. Again we
thank you.
CLAUDIA VINCENT, '31.
MYRTLE MICKLE, '32.

IN RETROSPECT
The Union Free High School was established in Wilmot twenty-eight years
ago. When first organized, the school had a faculty of two teachers, which at the
present time has increased to five. The enrollment is the largest in its history, totalling for the year 1930-1931, fifty-four girls and forty-one boys. Indications are
that the growth will continue. The increase in the enrollment has made several additions to the building necessary, the last one being constructed in 192 9. The present building consists of an assembly and five class rooms. This together with the
gymnasium provides our operating space.
The curriculum is. so arranged that every student upon graduation is eligible
to enter without examination any institution of higher learning in the state. However, enough laxity is allowed to provide many choices of courses. The required
courses are four years of English, two of mathematics, three of science, one of
civics and two of History. The remaining four credits necessary for graduation may
be elected from the four year course in agriculture or commercial work, Social
Problems, Economics, Advanced Mathematics, or Latin.

INTRODUCTION
We offer no apologi~s for what appears on the following pages. "Laugh and
the world laughes with you, weep and you weep alone." When you have reached
this section of the book, we want you to put away your cares, open your mouth,
shut your eyes, and laugh. The harder you laugh, the better you feel, and the
better you feel, the harder you'll laugh. Try it and if the results are not satisfactory, call us at our office, 921 Lemon Street, Telephone No. 7635, Restaurant 2841,
and ask for E. M. B. B. If not in, leave a description of your self, stating color,
kind of teeth, married or single, kind of bleach in your hair and your favorite
kind of apple pie. We will then see you at our latest convenience.

If our prescription is a cure for all your ills, please send your remittance parcel
post special. Address all communications to the above street number in care of our
Secretary, Ima Goof. Wrap all parcels securely. C. 0. D.'s will not be accepted.
Respectfully submitted by
The Funny Editors,
Evelyn Meyer
William Bernhoft
Note: One of 983,412 replies received for the above advertisement.
Dear Funny Editors:
After taking twelve bottles of your medicine, I laughed so much that the high
school faculty accused me of associating with J. K. If I were 12 years older I
would be 88 years younger than my grandfather who is 19 years older than his
youngest sister. My color is such that I cannot be distinguished at night. But this
is not of great importance, for what I started out to say is that you are just plain
crazy. I called at the address given, asked your secretary if you were in and found
that no such place existed. This made me so furious that I bit your dog in his left
leg. I am unmarried, and would like to hear from any high school student interested in good home cooking.

I am enclosing $400 in stage money. Please credit my account for same. If
you do not receive this letter, let me know and I'll write another.
Have many other friends interested in your proposition.

"'

Your life-long friend,
OSWALD
Note: The remainder of the letters received are filed alphabetically. Anyone
wishing to see them, may make application at the Public Service Building of the
Humor Staff. This building is located directly across the street from another building. If by chance your dog has fleas, send for our mechanical flea killer. Price,
eighteen cancelled postage stamps.

WILSON RUNYARD'S ESSAY ON NOTHING
Nothing is all you know about something that is nothing. Nothing is what
you have when you take everything away. Nothing is equivalent to zero which is
nothing. But if zero were nothing, why is it that a zero or two will bring down your
mark on your report card? If zero were nothing, it should mean nothing; but a few
zeros in Civics mean plenty to me. What I have written is about nothing, so it
means nothing. Nothing added to nothing equals nothing. If you try and subtract
nothing from nothing you get nothing, because it can't be done. Nothing multiplied
by nothing equals nothing, because how can you ever get anything when you have
nothing? Nothing divided by nothing is nothing, because you can never divide
nothing by nothing without getting nothing. Nothing divided by nothing, added to
nothing, substracted from nothing, multiplied by nothing equals nothing. This is a
very complete and accurate description of nothing.

A cure for laughing-Fern McDougall.
A date-Mildred Stockwell
A girl friend-Charles Lake.

Miss Kuenzli was playing alone. Two
boys kept following her around the
course. At the ninth hole she turned to
the boys and said, "You will never
learn to play watching me." "We're
not watching you," said one of the
boys. "We're going fishing as soon as
you dig up some more worms."
Harold G., August M., John S.,
three timid boys, entered the village
hardware store. The rather gruff pro'
prietor said to the oldest, "What do
you want, August?"

"A dime's worth of BB shot, please."
The old man climbed a ladder,
brought down the shelf box that contained the air-rifle shot, made up the
packet and returned the box to the
· shelf above. Then he asked the second
boy, "What do you want; John?"
"A dime's worth of BB's, please,"
was the meek answer.
"Why didn't you say so before?"
said the old man irritably as he went
for the ladder again. He made up the
packet as before, and then turned to
the third.
"And do you want a dime's worth
of BB' s too?" he demanded.
"No," replied Harold, hesitatingly.
The old man climbed laboriously to
the shelf again and deposited the box
of shot. Then he turned to the counter,
"Well, my boy, what do you want?"
he demanded of Harold.
"A nickel's worth of BB shot," said
Harold.
