The Seniors proved they had what it takes when it came to Intramurals, winning the touch
football championship, and taking both the boys' and girls' basketball tournaments, the girls for the
second year. Our captains were "Snuffy'' Johnson and Alma Jean Longbons.
One of the year's major projects was the publication of the Annual, for this work we chose
as Editor Genevieve Shuart and Billy Richter as Business Manager, Ralph Ludwig and Joanne Schnurr
were chosen as their assistants.
The Senior class play, "George Washington Slept Here," was presented the last week in April
and was a huge success.
We have arrived at the ·end our our high school career and we now leave to choose our various
vocations. No matter where we may go or how we are separated we will always remember the four
happy and profitable years we spent at Wilmot High.
To the faculty and underi classmen we bict a fond farewell and best wishes for their future
years.

When Carnival time rolled around we put forth our best efforts, determined to come m
first, but we lost out to the Seniors in the last round. We placed second, our candidates being
Norman Marzahl and Annette Huntoon. Our skit was entitled "Cool Water" and was well received.
We received our class rings jus·t before Christmas and everyone was greatly pleased with
them.
As our class play we chose "The Man Who Came to Dinner," directed by Miss Arlene Hammetter . It was very well received and we would like to thank everyone who helped to make it a success.
We are now working on plans for our Junior Prom, the theme of it is a big secret and is under
the supervision of Mrs. Albright. We have elected Phil Brehm as our King and as we go to press the
big question of the Queen is still known only by Phil, and maybe he hasn't de,cided yet.
We Juniors are proud of the members of our class participating in music and sports and next
year we will be back to fill the shoes of the mighty Seniors, continuing our search for better and
brighter horizons.

"Ever Forward"
On the first day of school this year, sixty-seven Sophomores returned to Wilmot High School.
We felt quite grown-up and "sorta" looked down upon the Freshmen but we did all we could to make
them feel at home.
At our first class meeting we elected our officers and Mr. Alby was appointed as our class
advisor.
We took part in the annual Carnival contest, our candidates being Irene Paddock and Bob
Meredith. Our class skit was entitled "The Hero to the Rescue" starring "Frankenpuss."
We are proud of vhe members of our class who participated in Music and went to Mass Chorus
and also those who played instrumental solos at Whitewater.
We are also proud of the fact that five of our class mates received letters for football and we
had three members a£ our class on the "A" squad basketball team.
Next year we will return as Juniors, continuing our quest for knowledge and adding to our
prestige.

The largest Freshman class ever to enter Wilmot High enrolled on the -seventh day of September, 1948. High School was something new to us but we -soon adapted ourselves to our new surround~
ings.
At our first class meeting we elected officers, and Jlr1r. Brice was appointed as our advisor.
He helped us to become used to our new responsibili-ties.
On November 13th, we t~k part in the annual carnival race and are proud to report that we
came in third; Our candidates were Donna Hansen and Bob Kominiak. For our class skit we depicted a "typical" school day at Wilmot High. It was enjoyed by everyone.
The Freshmen held their own in intramurals, the boys' football team finished second: For the
first time in the history of the school we had a Freshman basketball team which played oth_er schools.
This gave us valuable experience which will help us to take our place on the varsity ":4en the time
comes.
We are proud of our ·freshman class and hope that all of us may return each of the next
three years to complete our work at Wilmot High.

Led by our nine lettermen, of last year's undefeated team, our boys .came here for their first
practice on August 25th with the spirit and fire that is in every Wilmot ~quad. After the conditioning practices were over the 1948 squad looked exceptionally good. Our seven game schedule opened
with the skirmish against a strong Kenosha Junior Varsity. Much to the st\rprise of many of the fans
from our neighboring city, Wilmot proved to be too much for Kenosha's s~conds. The final score was
Wilmot 12, Kenosha 6. The Panthers looked very good as ·they came from behind to take the victory.
The touchdowns were made by Captain Bill Richter and Wally Skora. Jerde missed both o.f his attempts. for extra points. With this game won the Panthers increased Wilmot's prestige by extend·
ing our string of victories over 2 years.
Wilmot was erased from the list of last year's undefeated teams who were still undefeated in
our state by a determined team from East Troy in our second game of the: season. Troy scored in the
first half as did Wilmot. The Trojans made their try for point, however, and we did not, so the score
at half time was Troy 7, and Wilmot 6. In the last frame our boys were u'nable to score but the passing
combination of Verick and Metzke was good for another touchdown for Troy as we went down to a
14 to 6 defeat at their ha~ds. Our only touchdown in this game was made by Claude Epping a quarterback.
Next the tea:rn journeyed to Rochest·er where they took on the boys of Waterford in a conference game .on the Rochester gridiron. The results of the game were .very encouraging as our Panthers looked very much improved over the team which lost to East Troy. Wilmot scored in the first half
with Epping making the touchdown and Phil Brehm carrying for ~he a~ded point. Almost immediately on receiving the ball in the second half Wally Skora took the ball o'\fer their leit tackle and went
at least 45 yards for a touchdown. This time the try for. point was not good and the score remained
13 to 0 a·t the end of the game. The Waterford boys never ceased to be
threat and i£ their receivers
had been as apt at taking passes as their passer was at tossing them the sci>re would have been different.

The homecoming game with Walworth was packed with thrills for the largest homecoming
crowd ever. The old graduates joined the present students in cheering our Panthers o-n ·to a 20 to 0
win. The touchdowns were made by Captain Bill Richter, Wally Skora and Wats-on Hubbard, who
received a pass from Skora. There was no scoring in the first quarter but in about the middle of the
second quarter the pass combination Skora to Hub bard started to click firs·t for about 3 0 yards, then
a few plays later for a touchdown. Skora made the extra points to make the score 7 to 0. This score
s·tood until late in the last quarter when Captain Bil1 Richter scored, making it 13 to 0. The extra
point was made by Skora. Early in the fourth quarter Wally Skora scored but the extra point was
missed.
Next cam/Union Grove, a hard blocking team unbeaten in their first three starts. In the
first quarter Capt. Bill Richter made the first tally of the game, but Wilmot £ailed to m1ke the extra
point. Then Union Grove recovered a fumble and hurled a 30 yard pass to Bruisana fo·r a touchdown.
They converted the extra point to make the score 7 and 6 in the Gmvers' favor. Soon after Union
Grove. plunged six for another marker. .The extra point was also made. Wilmot came back and
Claude Epping scored another touchdown. The half ended 14 to 13 in favor of the Grovers. In the
third quarter Phil Brehm notched a TD on a quarterback sneak culminating a long over land drive. Wally
Skora ran the ball over for the extra point. Again, in the last quarter, Claude Epping and Harold
Andrews coliaborated on one of tihe touchdowns. Brehm annexed the extra point. Brehm then made
another tally and Eugene Jerde converted to make the final score 3 3 to 14.
A large throng of fans watched the Wilmot Panthers settle for a 7 to 7 deadlock with the Racine County Aggies. In the first half, Rochester broke in and McCarthy hurled a long pass to Taylor.
The Aggies converted. Wilmot plunged back and Claude Epping bolted over from the six yard line.
Wally Skora made the extra point to tie the score at 7 to 7. This score remained the same throughout
the game. Wilmot had two touchdowns cancelled on offside plays, and was left on the five yard line
as time ran out.
The Panthers then had a rest before having to travel to Mukwonago. The last. game of the
season had arrived and for the Senior boys it was the last game--period. The day was cold and it was
raining as our left halfback Wally Skora went over first on an end run. Later, at the beginning of
the second period, Jerry Sorenson made a touchdown, taking a pass from Epping. Another touchdown was made before the half, making the score 2 0-0, but two plays be£ ore the half ended 'our
reserve fullback, Chuch Clendening, had the misfortune of breaking a leg. On the opening kickoff
of the second half, Captain Bill Richter reversed his field and ran for a touchdown. The Seniors then
stayed in till another touchdown was made early in the fourth period with Phil Brehm ploughing over.
Everything considered our Panthers of '49 did weU, winning the inaugural against Kenosha
and recuperating sufficiently after a loss to East Troy to go on undefeated. the remainder of the season.

Coach Buc.:i's boys, the Panthers of Wilmot, wound up the season's play at the tournament
at Beloit and gave a very good account of themselves there. While we lost to Whitewater in the second
game, the score was close and our boys played a good game all the way. A wild basket which was in
the air as the horn sounded ending the first. haH was probably just the inspiration that Whitewater
needed to carry them to victory. The final score was 33 to 28. In the opening game of the tournament
Milton Union fell a victim to Wilmot by a score of 32 to 29.
Prior to the tournament we had won our last game against Mukwonago to finish with a record
of seven victories to 'five defeats in the conference. This gave us a tie with Rochester for third place.
We had also evened up the score with St. Mary's of Burlington by defeating them on our gym by the
close score of 3 5 to 3 3.
A look at the season's record as a whole shows that we won eleven and lost eight games. One
of these losses was at the hands of the Alumni who are traditionally hard to beat because of the fact that
they are composed o£ the stars of fomer years. The record also shows that we won the holiday roundrobin by defeating Walworth and Williams Bay. The whole picture is a bright one for the 1948 Panthers
and had it not been for the ·fact that East Troy has a very good aggregation composed of big experienced boys, we might have captured the conference title again.
However, such are the hard ·facts in athletics, one team must lose each game if it is to be won
by another so the law of averages catches up with us and we learn to take defeat and like it just as
we enjoy undefeated records. The Panther Staff wishes to congratulate the coach and team.
Letter winners for the 1948-49 basketball season were Capt. Jerry Soren~>on, forward; Dick
Johnson, guard; Jim Gleason, forward; Bob Rudolph, center; and Charles Conrad, forward. Returning
lettermen for next year are Captain Elect Wally Skora, forward; Phil Brehm, guard; Harold Andrews,
center; Max Richter, forward; and Joe Kominiak, center.

Due to the large number of Freshman boys interested in basketball and the limitations of
the "B" squad, for the first time in Wilmot High a Freshman squad has been formed. They play
Fre.~hman teams from other schools and in this way gain valuable experience. This gives mal!y boys

The 1948 Ba,eball season became a success·ful one under the able leadership of Coach Bucci.
Wilmot continued its enviable record by winning another conference Championship.
The season was a successful one in that the boys dropped but one game, that in a one to

The second year of track as a major sport at Wilmot found Mr. Eustice at the helm as track
coach. Many boys turned out for the team and we felt they were well on the way to making track an
important part of the athletic program at Wilmot.
We entered three meets, entering all events possible and made a good showing for ourselves
as we were competing agains·t teams with many ye1rs of experience.
Frank Andrekus was captain of the team and letter winners were Loren Longbons, Dick Van

This year three Seniors and two Juniors were
selected as cheerleaders. They were Lorraine
Willems, Carole Fox, Jim Ellis, Lucille Herr and
Mary Lou Scott.
The job of a cheerleader is to prepare pep
meetings, to inspire the school students, and to
keep up the morale of the .team.
The honor of wearing a "W" in recognition
o£ outstanding contribution to the school's

The music department plays a large part in the activities around school.
The music department includes the following groups,, Concert Band, Marching Band, Pep
Band, Majorettes, Girls chorus, Mixed chorus and Boys chorus. All of these groups are under the
direction of Mr. La Valle.
The concert band is made up of members of the band who have learned to play their instruments well enough to qualify to play with the regular band.
The marching band is limited to the number of uniforms available, although in recent years
it has been necessary to issue some of the older uniforms, due to the number of students wishing to
march.
The majorettes appear with the marching band while on parade and also entertain with
twirling numbers during concert appearances. One of the majorettes is chosen as the drum major to
lead the band.
Each year members of the band who wish to do so may play solos, in competition with
other schools at Whitewater. Also, each year the director chooses a number of his more advanced pupils
and they represent the school at the Mass Band Concert which is held in a different place each year
and famous directors from the various Universities are guest directors.
This year the band has had an opportunity to meet four times a week instead of the usual
two. This gives them more of a chance to play different types of music.
The chorus meets twice a week under the direction of Mr. LaValle. During the course of the
year they sing all different types of songs and learn about harmony and group singing. They also
make appearances at Whitewater and sing at the Band Concerts.
.
The boys chorus does not enter competition, so they enjoy themselves singing barbershop
quartets, and group singing.
The members of the chorus also have a chance to sing solos or duets at the music festival and
they too have a Mass Chorus Concert.
The band appears at many of the school functions and also gives an annual concert.
The Pep Band is made up of persons who have played with the band long enough to be capable
of reading music quickly, they appear at all Pep Meetings and as many of the home games as possible
throughout the year.
The music department plays a very importapt part in the school functions and we are very
proud of them.

DRAMATICS CLUB

ON~ ACT PLAY
ACTIVITY
P~~IOD
Changes are continually taking place in the field of education. One of the changes which took
place in our daily schedule in the past year is worth more than just a passing look. It is the introduction of what is known as an Activity Period.
Not so many years ago~, such activities as music, intramural athletics,
club
meetings,
'forensics and dramatics were actually frowned upon by school people and by the general public.
However, as their value became recognized, ·they were permitted to take place in the morning or after
school but never allowed to be held on regular schedule school time. They became known as extra
curricular activities. Their place in the normal development of a High School student has become
increasingly important and today we speak of them as co-curricular activities. The development of
bus transportation eliminated after school time, so it becomes apparent that either many of the
activities would have to be dropped or time arranged -for them during the regular school day.
This year we are experimenting with a thirty minute period each day devoted exclusively to
co-curricular activities. Classes and clubs meet on regular schedule as do intramural athletics, music,
forensics and dramatics. Special committee meetings also take place during this time. Those students
who are not taking part in the program have this time available for make-up work or study.
Our experience thus far indicates that the activity period will work and has a definite place
m the daily schedule of our High schooL Students and faculty members alike are enthusiastic regarding
its development. With careful planning, we feel confident that this period will become one of the
most valuable periods of the school day.

THE SENIOR CLASS
*
CLASS
P~OP~[CY
Dear Betty:
It sure was nice to hear from you. I've been awfully busy with my paper lately but I think
I'll take trme to drop you a line and let you in on some of the items that have come across my desk
lately ·concerning s-ome of our old classmates.
Genevieve and Joanne are on my staff now. They have a column they call the "S and S."
It's really very interesting. Richard Butrick is our secretary to our Society Editor. He's really very
efficient and seems to like the work.
No doubt you read in the paper about Ronald Hertlein's invention of storing the summer heat
from the sun in thermos bottles and using it in the winter time. I understand Paul Bairstow is on his
neck because, you know, Paul is pre:sident of the steamfitters union and he's afraid it'll ruin his business.
Beth Stohr is an engineer in Ronald's laboratory and Janice Smith is his secretary.
I went to see the Chicago City Series the other day. Jerry Sorenson is pitching for the White
Sox and who do you think should come up to bat but "Snuffy," who is the Cubs' first string catcher.
We stopped for something to eat at a drug store and who should be the owner but Gordon Schmidt. Re-member when he used to dish out sundaes and malteds down at "Em's?"
Dorothy Thomey dropped in with some of the ads she wants in the paper next Sunday. She
just returned from her New York showing, I guess she and Shirlee Schmidt are doing real well with
their exdusive shop. Dorothy tells me Rosemary Hansen was one of the models in New York, and, i£
that wasn't enough of a surprise, when she got on the plane for her return trip Carole Fox was the
hostess and Roy Wiberg the pilot. I guess they really had a lot of fun talking over the old times.
1~
You should see some of the ads that are placed in my paper at different times: "Do you want
cold ice? Remember Conrad's is Coldest"; "Schroeder's Dairy,, the milk with the 'moo' still in it."
"How low can you get? Barhyte can go lower. Barhyte's Deep Sea Diving Co." "The best to eat, is
Muhlenbeck's meat,," Willy Richter and Willy Sokolski send in ads every week, they have a Super
super market, it was Willy's idea, you sit down and everything goes by on a conveyor belt and you pick
off what you want, their motto is "Save your day, Save your pay, Don't get grey, Shop Willy's way."
' Our class seems to have its share of celebrities too. Have you seen any of Pete VanderZee's
movies lately? I guess he kind of made Roy Rogers take a bad( seat! Larry Pflueger is in it too, he's still
looking for his horse. I read reviews of Helen Thompson's debut at vhe "Met" the other day, she seems
to have a bright future. Beverly Gri:Hiths just was re-elected to the Senate for the second time, I
understand she is chairman of the "International Relations Between Planets" committee. Marilyn
Meyer stopped in to see me yesterday, she's with Phil Spitanly's All Girl Orchestra, they have an engagement at the Oriental this week.
I sure was surprised to read in your letter about Doria ba,ck at Wilmot teaching girl's Rhy. Ed.
And Ralph Ludwig teaching Physics, vt seems only yesterday he was in that class himself. Have you
heard anything about Arlo Briet since we graduated or did he really become a hermit like he said he
was going to? You say Margaret Lohaus is chief operator on the Bristol line? And she finally succeeded in getting rid of the party line? I bet she had quite a job doing :that,, what do the people do for
pastime now?
I see by the Sports page that John Dunford is training for the Olympics next year, he's entering the Pole Vauhing competition.
Wayne Krueger paid me a visit Friday,, he's the big shot on the WLIP television station. Jimmy
Gleason is the latter's big s:tar and has signed up, and Lorraine Willems and Carol Rohn have a comedy
skit on Tuesday nights, entitled "My Friend Ermatrude". It's really quite clever. My television set went
on the blink yesterday and Eugene Jerde fixed it. He says Marilyn is feeling fine but her family keeps
her busy.
I was driving down to my office yesterday and a little stream-lined jeep came whizzing by
on the wrong side, that's right, it was Bob Paddock. And guess who drives Taxi here, in Chicago, yes,
Joey Merten.
Oh, here's a clipping I don't want you to miss. It's headed "Local Boy Makes Good." It
seems Jim Ellis is Drum Major of the "VFW" in New York and is making quite a name for himself.
What is Dick Jones doing now? No doubt he has a 1959 Chevvy to drive around. I read in
the paper that Joe Fernandez is one of the designers for General Motors. His latest is a car with a steering wheel in the back seat, which is absolutely of no value in running the car but it keeps "back seat
drivers" from becoming too nervous.
Bob Pringle made t:he news the other day·-it seems he volunteered to see if he could stay
alone in the theater while a horror show was playing, well, naturally, Pringle fell asleep and slept thru
both pictures.
Are Ted Elyea and Henry Cook still running their little place in Salem, called "Ted and
Henry's"? Patsy Barhyte was the waitress last time I was there.
So Bob Anderson is on the farm next to yours-well say hello to him for me and to Beverly
Van Alstine, if you see her. I imagine she has quite a time with her three little ones ! !
Did you know Joyce Carlson is head Librarian here in Chicago? She's manager of the "Book of
Every Four Weeks Club". She just reviewed Doris Golbricht's latest best seller,, entided, "I Love Adventure."
Oh, did you notice this ad in last week's paper, "Bob Banis has switched to El Rupo!" He says
"Their longer length and blacker smoke makes them the cigar for me." You know Bob Rudolph is
down in Cuba raising the tobacco used in Bob's cigars.
I read in the paper of Kenny Fox crashing up on his motor scooter, so I went to see him and
who do you rhink is head nurse at the hospital? Alma Jean Longbons.
Well, Betty, I mus,t get back to my job. Say hello to Claude for me.
Marilyn
