Eight score and six years ago, our fathers
brought forth on this continent a new nation,
conceived in liberty, and dedi.cated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we
are engaged in a great world war, testing
whether that nation, or any nation so conceived
and so dedicated, can long endure. We are
drawn together in a common effort. We have
come to dedicate this book to that spirit of liberty which has prompted our boys to join in the
great task of preserving freedom. It is altoge:ther fitting and proper that we should do this.
Our brave boys, struggling there, are expressing
this spirit far above our present power to add
or detract. The world will little note nor long
remember what is written here, but it can never
forget what they are doing there.

EDUCATION IN A DEMOCRAC'
SIX

""' ~ERITAGE
We hold these truths to be self-evident: That
all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable
rights; that among these are l.ife, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these
rights, education has been instituted among
men, deriving its just power from the effectiveness of its work; that, whenever any method of
education becomes destructive of these ends, it
is the right of the people to alter or to abolish
it, and to institute a new organization, laying its
foundation on such principles, and organizing
its purview in such forms as to them shall seem
most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

)F DEMOCRATIC LIVING
To serve one's fellowmen without regard for self is
one of man's noblest achievements. A truly great school
board member has the welfare of the student foremost in
mind at all times.
Students of this school, parents, and the community
at large are fortunate to have such men on the Board of
Education of the Union Free High School.

VVe are proud of our record in
baseball. For ten years VVilmot has
held the Southeastern VVisconsin
Conference championship, sharing
that championship but once. Mr.
Schnurr is managing the boys this
spring as our book goes to press.
VV e may be a little shaky around
the "rubber," but we bel.ieve we'll
report another championship next
year.

Last year we lost several of our
best players from our football team,
but because of the inspiring leadership of former Coach Frey, we finished the season having lost two,
won two, and tied one.
On January 12, we elected Mickey Robers, our hard blocking back,
to be Captain. VV e are looking forward to next fall, when we hope to
come out with honors for VVilmot
High.

This year's VVilmot team was one
of the youngest in the conference.
It was made up of two Freshmen,
four Sophomores, three Juniors,
and only one Senior. The team
looked better against strong teams
than weaker teams. Of the games
lost, most of them were by a few
points. Our coach, Mr. Frey, left
us toward the end of the year, but
Mr. Schnurr did an excellent job in
handling the team for the remainder of the year.
VVith all the other teams being
hit hard by graduation, VVilmot will
be a favorite to capture the title in
the coming year.

G. A. A.
The Girls Athletic Association is
composed of a group of girls interested in athletics, who are organized to stimulate, among other girls,
an interest in sports.
G. A. A. meetings are ordinarily
held once each month. During basketball season meetings are also
held after school once a week. The
group is divided into teams and a
series of games are run off.
By participating in various sports,
both in t:chool and out, members of
this club can earn points to get letters and pins. Then, at the end of
the year, the girls who have made
sufficient points receive awards.
W CLUB
Each year the boys who show
their athletic ability and play in
football and basketball receive
"W's." These letters are highly regarded and appreciated by the boys
who earn them. A "W" can also
be received after playing a certain
number of innings of baseball.
The "W" Club is open to boys
who have received a school letter.
Election to it is a high athletic
honor.
B. A. A.
The B. A. A. is one of the largest
organizations in the school. It is
composed of athletically-minded
boys who are interested in football,
basketball, or baseball. Intramural
sports as well as competitive s.ports
in the Southeastern Wisconsin Conference provide exercise and fun
for all boys in the organization.
Gym classes also furnish recreation
for boys not active in the organized
sports.

Our department boasts of four
major musical organizations..
Although the band lost nineteen
members through graduation, transfers, and other causes, it now numbers forty-five members. That is an
increase of two over last year. This
year we shall lose only five members thru graduation so the future
looks "rosy." A junior band has
also been organized to give those
people who have not had sufficient
training to play in the senior band
an opportunity to acquire band experience at the earliest possible
time. In connection with the senior band is the pep band which consists of a picked group who play
for the pre-game rallies. This year
we plan to enter the concert in class
C at the Tournament. Last year
the band won two second places
and a third.
Last year the girls' chorus gave
us reason to be proud of them by
coming home with a second place
the first time they were ever entered
in a contest. As this is our second
year we hope to reverse the order
and come home with a first the second year of competition.
The }Joys' chorus has not entered
into competition, but we have been
learning to read music and just singing for the fun of singing.
Our A Cappella has placed first
for the last three years and we hope
to continue the record. This year it
will prove to be a severe task.
For the past two years Wilmot
has placed at least two baton twirlers in the highest ratings. The two
senior twirlers are gone, but we
have a junior and three freshmen of
whom we expect to hear much in
the following year.

PUBLIC PERFORMANCE~
BATON TWIRLERS
Wilmot is proud of its smart
looking baton corps, and so we are
happy to present Kay Schlax, Pat
Carey, Ruth Vogel, and Colleen
Andrews.
A CAPPELLA
The A Cappella Choir is composed of a select group of students
numbering. approximately twentyfive. The choir is under the direction of Mr. Engel and rehearsals are
held every Monday, Wednesday
and Friday. This year we have
added both modern and old Russian music to our repertoire.
CHEER LEADING
Early in the year, cheer leaders
are selected. This year the group
met every Tuesday night after
school. It is the duty of the Senior
cheer leaders to teach the Freshmen
who are interested. After a year of
practice, two Freshmen are picked
and when they return the next year
as Sophomores, they receive uniforms. This year was the first in
which all cheer leaders, except
Freshmen, appeared at away-fromhome games; previously only Seniors had had this privilege.
Assembly meetings are under the
direction of the Seniors. This year,
we are proud to say that the cheer
leaders received honorable mention
for their work at the district tournament held at East Troy.
Miss Berger acts as the organization's advisor. We are extraordinarily proud of this year's group.

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB
The Home Economics Club was
organized in 1939. The purpose of
this club is to give the girls ideas
and information on social. development.
Our club has voted to become affiliated with the State F. H. A.,
which stands for Future Homemakers of America.
The club has a meeting once a
month. Entert::>.inment and lunches
are worked out informally for our
monthly get-togethers.
COMMERCIAL CLUB
The· Commercial Club was organized about thirteen years ago to influence and aid people in commer·
cial abilities.
This year, besides putting out the
school paper we have organized
committees to handle the sale of defense stamps. We feel this is a good
way to help our country.
Our school paper is the source of
our greatest income for our club.
The a warding of typing pins is
made possible by our club each
year.
DRAMATIC CLUB
The Dramatic Club has been reorganized this year for the purpose
of fostering interest in play acting,
pantomime and the art of make-up.
Our business meetings, have been
led by George Fait, Pres.; Doris
Sarbacker, V. Pres., and Evelyn Evans, Sec. The club is open to members of all classes.
The program for the year has
been varied. We presented a oneact melodrama for the carnival, a
Christmas pageant for the P. T. A.,
and carried the make-up work for
the Junior and Senior class plays.

STUDENT COUNCIL
The purpose of the Student Council is to settle problems that arise
during the school year. It is its duty
to set dates for dances, plays, and
so forth. It also chooses assembly
programs which are to be put on
the next year.
The mPmbers of this body are
representatives from each class and
organization. Our advisor is Mr.
Schnurr.

F. F. A.
The national organization of the
Future Farmers of America is an
organization meant to benefit American farm youth. Members are required to carry projects so as to
gain experience and maybe a little
spending money.
This past year a number of boys
carried baby beef projects and all
were well rewarded. The animals
were marketed at auction and
brought top prices.

JUDGING TEAM
The Judging Team is formed to
see what boys know about certain
things, such as meats, animals, dairy products, garden vegetables, and
other agricultural products. Each
year boys from every district in Kenosha County go to Madison to
judge these products.
The best tearri gets a free trip.
"Superior" and "Good" teams get
certificates giving their rankings.

PAPER STAFF
One of the most awaited for momt:nts around school is the publication of the monthly school paper. In
it is found news of classes, organizations, sports, and last but not least,
the best gossip of the month.
The paper staff is selected by the
Commercial Club officers, from the
other members in the organization.
It is their job to see that the paper
rolls off the presses on time once
each month.
LIBRARY CLUB
The Library Club was organized
this year and has twenty-three members. The duties of the club are to
check out and take care of the
books, papers, and magazines, and
to keep up the bulletin board in the
back of the assembly. It has done
much to improve the attractiveness
of the assembly.
We have had two candy sales
this year and a Valentine's party.
The club is working on a scrap book
of school activities.
DANCING CLASS
Miss Barnes continued her classes
in ballroom dancing this year and
was very pleased to find so much
interest shown by the Freshman
class. On March 28 Miss Barnes
sponsored an Easter dance for the
class with music by Klemme's orchestra and entertainment numbers
furnished by her tap and acrobatic
pupils. The Virginia reel and other
group dances were enjoyed by all.
Unfortunately all members of
the class weren't present for this
picture. We are glad to report that
there is an increasing interest in
dancing instruction.

Fully conscious of the responsibilities which the
democratic way of life imposes upon its members, the youth of America is preparing to defend the legacy of those who have gone before.
American schools are filled with youth clamoring for action and eagerly seeking sound
leadership in the grim days which lie ahead.
American society is proud of its youth. It is
proud of their bodies developed through work
and play, of their minds developed through
tough verbal combat one with the other, and,
above all, it is proud of their spirit universally
expressing faith in the-ir own ability to achieve
peace on earth and universal good will among
men.

*VISION
Diligent application and creative thought give
insight into and devotion for the democratic
processes which create a vast gulf between the
fullness of the democratic way of life and the
spiritual vacuum characteristic of totalitarianism. Only in these terms can be understood the
inspired and courageous stand of MacArthur.
Wilmot is proud to have one of its graduates
among his men.

Never before has life been so challenging; not
in all human history has there been more call for
energy, for dynamism, for all those qualities which
make American youth the great hope that mankind
will extricate itself from the muck of its own stupidity. The call to service and to duty has never been
stronger than it is in this year called 1942.
Already four of our number have gone forth to
meet the challenge of manly duty in the service of
our country and its way of life. These boys typify
the spirit of courage and forthrightness. which are
the hope of America in this year of crisis. Society
is eagerly calling for all of us to assume places of
dignity and responsibility among our fellows in
order that we can stand with our elders supplying
the energy, the determination, and the sincerity
which they have lacked in their efforts to cope with
the problems of the modern world.

THIHTY-l<'OFR

Our world is a world of change. Wilmot ha.l
made us aware of the constancy of change. Our success will depend upon our ability to feel out the
undertows, the cross-currents, and the rapids. of the
maelstrom and collectively to guide them into a
mighty stream which will wash away the present
era of march and counter-march.
Our sanity, our power to think to the heart of
the problems of a disordered world and a disunited
mankind, and our imagination are the tools with
which we shall do the job lying before us as young
Americans. When these pages have yellowed with
age, we believe that we, acting with millions of other
young Americans, shall have carried mankind to a
higher plane and that we shall look with pride upon
our years spent at Wilmot as well-springs of enthusiasm and hope which shall not have failed.

;TORY
Attention! Forward March! Here comes our Senior Class of
'42 passing in quick review along the road to Victory!
In the fall of 1938, fifty rookies enlisted and gave their services to Wilmot High School. vVe rookies were just as green and
shy as all rookies are during their first year of service. ;The upperclassmen tried to down us but we proved our calibre and survived.
Mies Berger and Mr. Frank were at the head of our division
with Marge W ange, E.velyn Evans, Jeanette Fiesel, and Art Carpenter as our officers to guide us where'er we went during our
first year.
Everyone will always remember our assembly program, "Corn
Fed Babies," as an enjoyable occasion.
When June came around we were given notice that we could
have a three month's furlough.
On September 4th, 1939, we came back experienced in the
Sophomores Division. On September 3rd, war had been declared
in Europe, but it "didn't hold a candle"' to the one we declared on
the Freshmen when we initiated them. Our officers were Dick
Robers, Edna Hansen, Evelyn Evans, and Andy Anderson. Mr.
Duffy was our superior officer. The musical comedy, "Apoplexy
for the Teacher," which we presented instead of a minstrel, had
'em in the aisles--laughing!
In 1940, with ever decreasing ranks, we returned one rung
higher up the military ladder. With Andy Anderson, Pete Wilde,
Marie Richter, and Tom Appel as commanding officers we -vvere
assured of success. We climaxed our season of basketball by taking the inter-class championship. To prove our further ability, we
tackled the staff officers for a game. In the spring we became dramatically and socially minded and presented "Spring Fever" and a
"Southern Plantation" prom. We concluded our third season and
made big plans for a sweeping victory the following year.
In 1941, we began our last year of basic training. Andy Anderson, Dick Robers, Anna Gillmore, and Gloria Peterson were
chosen for promotion in the ranks. In October we faced a barrage
of cameras in order to have a reminder of our happy days in camp.
In the spring we launched another dramatic success, "America
First."
Now it seems that our four educational and enjoyable years of
training are over. We have been excellently taught and physically
trained. We are now able-bodied American citizens who are capable of helping America through the greatest crisis of her time.
After graduation, as cadets of Democracy, we will step into a
troubled world. As Columbus discovered America in 1492, America wil.l discover us in 1942.

Newspaper Article (1962)
Last night the class of '42, graduates of \Vilmot High School,
had a reunion in the new, modern gymnasium on the campus of
Wilmot Union Free High. It was a highly festive occasion and
nearly everyone of the "Class of' 42" was present. ·The ceremonies
included a banquet, several speeches, and a shin-cracking session.
Leroy Anderson, known as the famous demonstrator on "How
to Wiggle Your Ears in Six Easy Lessons," was the toastmaster.
Ann Gillmore, better known as One-Way Gillmore, who never
strikes twice in the same place, read the report of the last meeting.
The salesmen and saleswomen of the class were trying to sell
their products to other members of the class. Shirley Axtell was
trying to interest the class in buying springs for spring chickens.
Bob Robinson sold quite a few Fuller brushes. Letty Church was
an excellent advertiser for her water from the "Fountain of Laughter." Patsy Boyington tried to interest the women in her "Spinster
Haven." Connie Merten asked everyone to donate some money to
help take care of her homeless fleas. Everyone decided to buy one
of Lorraine Hollencamp's one-way ticket-one way to Mars. Tom
Appel demonstrated his Little Daisy steam rollers but they couldn't
excel Ray Vogel's hinges for false teeth and "Built-in" nut crackers. John Elsey saw a firefly and he insisted that he should equip
it with a fire alarm and extinguisher. Juanita Young is really quite
a model for that new dimple cream which she sold a lot of. Number One Playboy Maleski made quite a display when he entered
with a debutante on each arm. The only man to have seen Yehudi,
Dick Robers, told his classmates what he looked like.
The entertainment was very well received. Penny Serenader,
Vincent, who is now playing in Times Square, was first.
Frank
Sheahan showed the fundamental steps in ballet dancing. Lor-

raine Roanhaus is the girl who appears regularly on Bob Hope's
program. Helen Schenk and Rose Mary Sarbacker (Crenda and
Bobina to you) have a very funny skit. Oetting, a famous chemist,
explained how to get butter out of butterflies, his newest discovery.
Doris Neumann is now singing with Joe Kyser's two-piece
band at 4:30 every morning except Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,
W ednes.day, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and sang us a song.
Bob Walker demonstrated his technique for winning .the transcontinental tricycle race.
J o Van Slochteren was next on the program. She gave
some advice to the lovelorn. The program was interrupted at this
point because of Lyle Nelson. He delivered one of his singing telegrams to the toastmaster. As the last number on the program Ev
Evans gave an Orphan Annie skit. Betty Stoxen, who usually
cooks for Iitsy Bitsy Dog Biscuits, served a very pleasing lunch.
Throughout the program and sales talks, Ethel J oerndt took
notes for the newspaper. She holds the record for being the shortest shorthand writer in the world. Ray Hirschmiller arrived late
with his pet, a lion, which he captured at Brookfield Zoo. Lucille
Scott and Catherine Schenning were unable to pe present because
they were afraid that during their absence the nightingales, which
they feed in Berkley Square, would starve. Ed. Retzinger could
not get permission to leave his vvork of digging graves on Devil's
Island, and Ruth Elfers felt that she couldn't afford to leave her
cotton picking in Georgia. Marie Richter and Doris Sarbacker
were out on a special case-they are at present nurses under the
guidance of Dr. Pepper. Schwartz and Wilde are still in the Air
Corps and Marines and could not get leave of absence. Everyone
had to leave the reunion at nine because Gloria Peterson rolled up
the sidewalks of Wilmot and put out the lights.

The Junior Class organized in
September, 1941. By hook, crook,
and dint of hard labor, we managed
to bring laurels to Velma Richards
and George Fait, our candidates for
carnival king and queen.
Selection of class ringR was one
of the thrills of the year.
In March we gave "Anne of
Green Gables," which was a great
success. We wish to thank Miss
Winans for her hard work in putting it over.
For our Junior finale, we are giving the Prom on May 22. Next year
we plan to be Seniors and will look
back on the first three years of high
school with happy remembrances.

Everyone of our forty-three members welcomed the beginning of
school this September. We all felt
capable of taking on the responsibilities of Sophomores.
Our first responsibility being the
Freshmen, we initiated them soon
after school opened. How we enjoyed it, but they were good sports
about the whole thing.
In December we presented our
Sophomore show under the direction of Miss Dake. It was the combination of a play and specialty
acts which brought out some surprising hidden talent in our classmen.
As this school year draws to an
end we will be ready to take up our
duties as the new Junior class of

*
September second, 1941, was a
big day for the newcomers in Wilmot High School. This was the first
day of high school.
Fifty-nine
Freshmen started down the path to
knowledge. We heard the regulations that day and we saw our
teachers in classes for the first time.
At our first class meeting, officers
were elected and we heard of a
dreadful day coming. It was initiation, September 26th! We had fun
that day and at night we attended
the dance given in our honor. Later,
in March, we repaid the Sophomores with a dance.
When carnival time came the
Freshmen co-operated in the competition of selling tickets. On the
final night our candidates served as
lady and gentleman in waiting.
And so we, as "the Class of '45,"
hope to come back next year and
become Sophomores.
