THE ASSEMBLY
Our FacJity takes turns watching assembly in
their free period~. It is nat an easy jab for anyone due
ta the extremely:. crowded conditions in our school. We
have an enrollm'ent of about 325 pupils in 160 seats
when we are in: general assembly. We hope that this
condition may be remedied soon.

Mr. Brice-"The Watchful Eye"

Seventh Period Assembly-"A Busy One"

1950

The Echo (Union Free High School yearbook) of 1931 contains this dedication:
' "To the Spirit of Progress-Onward we march together' has guided us
through our high school days. May it ever serve as o beacon light throughout
our future until we reach our ideal in life-Honor and Happiness".
To this dedication was added o statement by our Principal, Mr. Schnurr. These ore
his words in port: "I om indeed pleased to see this publication dedicated to the 'Spirit of
Progress'. We cannot go backward, we conrot stand still, but we must ever move onward".
To prove these words prophetic, the graduating class of 1950 wishes to dedicate
this book to this some spirit of progress and to rededicate us all in our quest for Honor and
Happiness.

Mr. Neumann, too, is a part of our dedication as a symbol of those
traditions which have become dear to us at Wilmot.

"Gus"

is

more

a

"friend" than a servant in our halls and friendship at Wilmot is traditional.

B,OARD, 'Of EDUCATION
Our board of education has done us a great service in securing the
proper educational facilities and efficient teachers. They have also given
the students of Wilmot a progressive program of education.
The members of the present board are Glenn Pacey, Alfred Oetting,
and Sam Sorenson.
We also pay tribute to a board of education that was in service here
for so many years. These hard-working men are Otto Schenning, the late
George Dean and R. C. Shotliff who were in charge of the destiny of this
school over a period of some twenty-five years.

Fifty-eight Seniors began their lost eventful year at \.Yilmot High on September
6, 1949.
The purpose of the first class meeting was to elect the officers shown above, for
the ensuing year. Mr. Bucci remained as our class advisor.
As has been the tradition of the school for many years, a contest was staged to see
which class candidates would reign at the Carnival as King and Queen. After being second two previous years, we finally came through on top and King Lowell Pitts and Queen
Joyce Stoxen were crowned.
The annual, another great tradition, has been one of our chief projects of the year
with Elmer Kophengst and Annette Huntoon as editor and assistant and Gail Gillmore
and Joan Gleason as business manager and assistant.
A new tradition, the Winter Formal was the next big school event and was the first
formal of the year.
Lost year two of our classmates, Chuck Clendening and Tom Martin, left for the
service. This year at the end of the first semester two more of our classmates, Neil Skillings and Bruce Payton, left for Uncle Sam's services. Wilma Wahl moved to a form near
Sharon, Wis. They were o::tive in class projects and were greatly missed by all of us.
We took on active port in inrromurols and class tournaments. The Seniors won the
football, basketball, and dartboll championships in intramurals. Our class tournament
captains were Phil Brehm and Gail Gillmore.
"Mother was a Freshman/' our class play, was presented May 5, under the direction of Miss Peardon. It was a great success.
As we are sending this annual to press, we ore planning the traditional class night
and graduation exercises. Upon graduation, we will leave these portals, some seeking f.Jrther education, some seeking employment, but each cherishing fond memories of our four
eventful and profitable years spent at W. H. S.
Now the Class of the Mid Century bids farewell to W. H. S., and to the faculty,
underclassmen, and others who have helped make our education possible. Like all who
enter and leave here, we shall carry on with all the grads of our school in the hope that we
may be true to her tradition and ideals.

On the 6th of September seventy eager Juniors entered the halls of education to
start another year of school. Our first assignment was to elect capable officers to carry
us through the year. The officers elected were as follows: Bob Meredith, President;
Norman Benedict/ Vice President; Max Richter Secretary-Treasurer; and Dick Brehm to
represent us on the Student Council. We were again honored by having Mr. Alby appointed as our class advisor.
1

When carnival time came near/ we chose Earl Hennessey and Marie Barhyte for our
candidates. The mighty Juniors fought hard and won the poster contest with flying
colors. However/ the Seniors won the ticket sales/ putting the Juniors in second place.
Just before Christmas we received our class rings/ which were welcomed by all.
The Junior class is very proud of our athletes as well as of the people in the musical
field. This year the students have really shown some enthusiasm in competition in the
various activities of the school what will it be next year when we are Seniors?
1

//The Inner Will/ 1 1 our class play, produced March 10/ was a howling success. We
wish to thank Miss Peardon as well as everyone else who made our play acceptable.
Our next assignment is the Junior Prom. The date of the Prom is May 19, and the
plans are in the hands of Mrs. Burdick.
Next year we will all be back with plans for our last year in Wilmot High.

Closs Colors: Green and Silver
Motto: Be sharp, be natural, but never be flat.

On September 6, 1949, the Sophomore class convened for the second year of school
at Wilmot. The classical values of algebra, biology, typing, home economics, and agriculture were discussed at our first meeting. Mr. Brice, our class advisor, presided at the
meeting until George Hildebrant was elected President. Walter Glassman was elected
Vice-President while Jean ~eynolds took care of the Sec. Treas. tasks.
We joyously prepared for one of the most traditional of school events here as
we made plans for the annual carnival. The class chose Warren Meredith and Dorothy
Reiter as our candidates for king and queen of the carnival. We presented a play entitled
"Ty Tower Comes to Wilmot" which was enthusiastically received by the large crowds at
the carnival.
·
·
The next big event of the year was the Christmas Party and we were as glad to
see Santa as any of the stt;.~dents here. Every one had a big time at the party.
After Christmas vacotion we came back to be confronted with the Semester Exams. Even though visions of doom were before our eyes most of the class did very well in
this annual ordeal.
To give our dramati~ students experience, Miss Peardon directed a play called
''Three's a Crowd." The cast, was composed of two girls and three boys with the help of a
prompter and student director. The performances of Donna Hansen, Jean Reynolds, Malcomb Evers, Don Grulich, a'?d Warren Meredith were appreciated by the student audience.
The Sophomores are well represented in the extra curricular activities too. We
take part in the activities of; B. A A, G. A A, F. H. A, F. F. A, not to mention Camera
Club and Dramatic Club.
Sophomore committees are preparing for such events as field meets, class tournaments and final examinations as this is written and all of us are looking forward to the
vacation to follow the school picnic on June ninth.
Next September the class will return for the third year here at Wilmot with high
hopes for a successful Junior Year.

This year's Freshman class of 1950 entered school with an enrollment exceeding one hundred.
At our first class meeting we elected the officers who were to have
charge of the class affairs for the year. Our advisor is Miss Peardon, and
we all appreciate the work she has done for our class.
When Carnival time came around we learned how exciting this traditional bout between the classes could be. We were last in line this year but
by next year we will have acquired enough experience to do a better job.
We have learned through the various events of the year what will
be expected of us in the coming three years.
We hope to be active in all the activities of the school and become
successful students of Wilmot High School.

FO·O'TBALL
Winning teams are traditional at Wilmot; but it has
been a long time since any team from our school so completely
out-classed their conference opponents as did our football team
this year as we gained the undisputed conference championship
again, and placed Phil Brehm on the all-state high school teams
listed by the press. We opened the season with a loss at Elkhorn
to a team that had been highly advertised to be the best from·~ ·
that school for many a year. We lost in the final minutes of
play .and had dominated the field operations during three quarters of the game. A long aerial did the trick for Elkhorn, however. This loss seemed to be just what our boys needed as they
proceeded to "take" all the rest in a very businesslike manner.
A great many words of praise were spoken by the opponents as
well as by Wilmot fans.
While three Senior boys; Wally Skora, Phil Brehm, and
Captain Watson Hubbard were particularly outstanding in
their consistent performances many other· boys were equally
consistent and di_d outstanding work in both line and backfield.
"Hal" Andrews, Dan Servellas, and Joe Kominiak at ends, Dick
Brehm, and Bob Meredith, and Bob Kominiak at guards. Milner,
Jerde, Griffiths, Pitts and Wickman at tackles, Scott, Reindenbach, Hennessey, and Norm Epping at backs, Arnold Dahl and
Norm Marzahl as centers, all did stellar work in their positions
and are deserving of as much credit as were their senior teammates. A good many of these boys are underclassmen and will
be back as the nucleus for a good team next year. The class of
1950 wishes for them every success as they carry the school
colors and traditions to further triumphs.

. '"\"'l"

~ ·"*--

We wish too, to recognize the fine work of Coach Bucci
and his assistant Mr Brice in training and directing our athletes
here at Wilmot. We feel that a great part of our success in
winning conference and state honors is due to their work and
skill.

. BASKETBA.LL
The enthusiasm which permeated the school beca'use of the undisputed championship in football carried over into the basketball season and
what was ceded to be just another basketball team went on to an impressive
co-championship. We had no really tall men to control the rebounds and
to make tip-ins under the basket and our boys found it necessary to make
up this deficiency by finesse and fighting spirit. Undaunted by the height
of their rivals, they are to be complimented on the splendid record which
they have written into the history of our school. The editors and staff of this
book are happy to publish it.
A great deal of credit must be given to the fine work of our basketball coaches, Mr. Bucci head coach, and Mr. Brice, who works with the "B"
squad. They have earned the respect and admiration not only of the boys
who participate in sports but also of the entire student body.
Statistics make dry reading but it is necessary to intlude a great deal
of this sort of material when making a record of this kirid. The Panthers
rolled up a total score of 714 points while limiting their opponents to a total
of 605 points. This record includes all games-conference, non-conference,
alumni, and tournament. Captain Walter Skora led his teammates in scoring
with an individual total of 208. Max Richter followed with a total of 147.
Some of the other individual totals were: Phil Brehm, 89; Hal Andrews, 63;
Dick Brehm, 54; Dan Survillas, 47; Dick Scott, 38; Earl Hennessey, 24; and
Bob Meredith, 17.
The season's record shows that the Panthers won eleven games and
lost five. Only two of the losses were conference games; one was to the
Alumni and two were in the tournament at Beloit.
Nine men earned the coveted "W" for their contribution to the success of the team and to the school, they are: Captain Wal,ly Skora, Hal Andrews, and Phil Brehm, SENIORS; Dan Survillas, Earl Hennessey, Bob Meredith, Max Richter, and Dick Brehm, JUNIORS; and Dick Scott, SOPHOMORE.
As can be seen from the above, Coach Bucci will: have a complete
five from the juniors of this year and one sophomore letter-man around
which to build for next year's champions. Best of luck td coach and team
from the class of '50!

This group of boys are interested in playing on the varsity but need experience.
They play "B" teams from other schools immediately p~eceding the regular games.

FRESH'MAN 'S,QUAD
Our athletic program has grown so that it is necessary to have a freshman team
so that more boys may have an opportunity to compete for places on the "A" and "B"
teams. This is the second year that our Freshmen have played a regular schedule with
other schools.
·

The Panthers of 1949 won the undisputed championship of the Southeastern Wisconsin Conference by winning
all conference games and with a season's record of 9 wins
and 2 defeats, and one tie. The record of wins and losses
appears on the bottom of this page. The boys played in the
tournament at Elkhorn and lost to Delavan in the second
game, having won the starter from Elkhorn by a 11-2 score.
And so Coach Bucci and his Panthers add another conference
championship to our large collection, and another trophy is
placed in our trophy-case.

TRACK
This was the third year that track has been one of the major sports at Wilmot. Mr.
Brice was a very good coach. There was a number of boys who participated. Our team did
very well considering the experience that they have had. They participated in six meets.
The events they participated in were dashes, hurdles, pole vault, broad jump,
shot put, distance runs, discus, and high jump.
The Senior letter winners were: Ronald Hertlein, Roy Wiberg, Bill Richter, Joe
Fernandez, and Art Schroeder. Other letter winners, Harold Andrews, 1950 Capt., John
Davidson, Watson Hubba~d, Bob Meredith, Bill Koenig, Dick Scott and Bob Kominiak.

CHEERLEADERS
This year saw more cheerleaders on our staff than ever before because of changes in the
manner of their selection.
The job of a cheerleader is to keep up the spirit of the teams as well as to stir up enthusiastic support for the teams on the part of the students of the school. This is done through pep meetings and the leading of the cheers at the athletic contests.
This year the two Senior leaders, Lucille Herr and Mary Lou Scott, had charge of all the work
while under-classmen were being trained to do their part. After a period of training, June Zirbel,
Elaine Rynders, and Janice Krieger were selected as the Junior leaders.
The Sophomores and Freshmen also contributed four cheerleaders who did a great job in
leading the cheers for the "B" teams. These were: Sophomores Nancy Marzahl, Dorothy Reiter,
Marlene VanDerzee and Beverly Frank. Freshmen: Irene Rodis, Judy Schnurr, Romayne Epping, and
~Corsi.

MUSIC DEPAR'f!MENT
The Music Department has come to play an important part in
Wilmot High School. It is traditional here to have some sort of musical
training in the curriculum. Mr. LaValle has charge of all musical direction.
The Department con~ists of several groups comprising. the Concert
Band/ the Marching Band/ the Pep Band/ Majorettes/ Girls Chorus/ Mixed
Chorus and Boys/ Chorus. All of these organizations compete at the annual
Festival at Whitewater excepting the Boys' Chorus.
1

The Concert Band is composed of those students who play an instrument well enough to qualify for band work.
The Marching Band is made upof members of the regular band and
although two new uniforms were purchased this year the number of participants is limited.
The Majorettes appear at concerts and on parade. One is chosen
to be drum major or leader while on the march. Lou Ann Krohn has done a
very fine job as drum majorette this year.
The band meets four times a week and learns to play many types
of music.
Each chorus meets once a week. The members learn the fundamenc
tals of harmony and group singing. They also participate in the annual Band
Concert.
Any member of the Music Department may enter a solo or duet at
the· annual Music Festival at Whitewater. We're proud to be able to say
that several students from Wilmot participate each year.
Every year there is a Mass Band Concert and a Chorus Concert at
Lake Geneva. The director selects his more advanced students and they
participate in these concerts. It gives the students an opportunity to perform
under a well-known director.
The Pep Band plays a large part at the pep meetings which precede
the home games. This band is made up of the more experienced students
who are able to read music well and quickly.
We are proud of what our Music Department has accomplished since
the beginning of the year and we hope this tradition will continue in our
school.

ACT'IVITY PtERIOD
In order that the time we spend at Wilmot High may be more profitable as well as enjoyable,
the school includes a full time activity program in the regular curriculum. A short period of time is
given each day to the various activities of the school. During this period a scheduled program of activi~
ties is carried out. Such clubs as the dramatic club, the camera club, secretary's club, paper staff,
student council, F. F. A., F. H. A., B. A. A., G. A. A., and all of the many organizations in the Music
Department meet on regular days and carry on their activities. The schedule also includes regular
class meetings under the sponsorship of the class advisors and many useful projects are promoted
for the people of the different classes.
The administration and faculty of our school feel that this period has been a very beneficial
one for all students. It has encouraged many of our people to take part in some useful activities who
might not have otherwise had such an opportunity. It has done much to promote a better and more
wholesome school spirit. It has been a healthful divergence from the ordinary grind of the classroom.
The intramural sports programs for both boys and girls have proven to be effective body builders
and have taught many students the meaning and usefulness of good sportsmanship. The members
of gur regular athletic teams do not compete in the intramurals thus giving many other boys a
chance to be members of a team.
For active participation in the intramural girl's sports and the program of G. A. A. the
following senior girls were awarded letters this year by Miss Hanson who is in charge of these events.
Gail Gilmore, Sue Rodis, Joyce Stoxen, Donna Walker, Annette Huntoon, Fay Lane, Dorothy
Zirbel, Lucille Herr, Mary Lou Scott, Eileen Stine, Margaret Schenning, and Charlotte ConnelL
The activity program also includes a fine daily music schedule under the direction of Mr. LaValle. For outstanding work in this department, letters were awarded to the following Seniors of the class of '50: Joyce Stoxen, Annette
Huntoon, Margaret Schenning, Mary Lou Scott, Gail Gilmore, Elmer Kaphegst, Wayne Griffiths, Donna Walker, Florence
Skiba and Arlene Steffen. Awards were also made to the following people for their fine work in the Music Contest at

HOME,COMINC
Each year it has been the custom to hove a
homecoming dance after one of the lost home
football games. This year we triumphed over
Waterford on the field, to make it a victorious as
well as Spirited Homecoming. The B. A A elects
a Senior football player to reign as king for the
night. This year our king was Watson Hubbard
who was also captain of the football team. His
chosen queen was Marlene Vanderzee.

CARNIVAL
One of the more traditional of our school activities is the holding of
an annual school carnival. This event brings a great deal of worth-while
experience as well as a lot of excitement to the whole student body.
Candidates for the King and Queen contest are chosen and the class
selling the greatest number of advance tickets has the honor of seeing its
candidates crowned on the night of the festivities.
This year our Senior candidates, Lowell Pitts and Joyce Stoxen, were
crowned by Marie Barhyte and Earl Hennessey, the Junior candidates. The
Sophomores represented by Dorothy Reiter and Warren Meredith and the
Freshmen, whose candidates were Letty Cheney and George Sinesh, finished
in that order. All of the classes did a very fine job as is attested by the fact
that over two thousand dollars. worth of advance tickets were sold.
A committee composed of representatives of the Student Council
and of faculty members determines how the money taken in at this event
each year shall be spent. This year it was divided among the following organizations: F. F. A.; B. A. A.; Camera Club; Junior Class; Senior Class,
Annual; Dramatics; Assembly programs; Cheerleaders; F. H. A.; and the
Music Department. Oh, yes, the boys athletic teams got some too. What
would we do for spending money if it were not for the annual carnival!

CL.ASS PROPH·ECY
Dear Fay,
1/m so glad you dropped me a letter to tell me about the class reunio!1 next month. r11 surely be there. You say it's to be held at Petryfying
Springs? My it doesn/t seem like five years have passed since the whole
class last met does it?
1

1

l ve been so busy with my family and my nursing/ that I can t quite
find time to do anything else but 1 11 try to give you a rundown on the members of our class.
1

1

1

1

Talking about time reminds me/ I saw Harold and Ruth Andrews
pushing a baby carriage witb the cutest little pair of twins in it down on
main street the other day. And guess who/s in the hospital with me? Paul
Runge! He was trying to make a flying tea-cup to match the flying saucer
when something exploded. He had quite a few visitors. Watson Hubbard/
who is the All-Star end with Notre Dame and then another was Watson/s
brother-in-law/ Duane Halladay/ who has a little farm plus a little family of
his own now.
1

1

Charlotte Connell is working in this hospital with me too. We have
plenty of time to talk over our old school days.
By the way/ Betty Kaskin dropped me a line this week and said she
is still traveling. She also said she met Ernie Bunata in Texas. I guess he/s
still driving cattle with a little jeep.
I read that Joan Gleason and Arlene Steffen ore sti II touring t~e
United States giving demonstrations on //How to make better bread dough
with the Pillsbury woy.
11

Marge Jester and Elmer Kophengst hove their own newspaper. They
are still arguing about who is going to be the editor. Sue Rodis is their star
reporter at present/ but in two months she is leaving to accept on offer as
stewardess on Dole Nou/s airline. Dole's motto is/ For easy flying/ fly with
Nou. For he's the guy who really knows hoW. Margaret Schenning has been
flying with him for over a year but when Sue starts work on the Nou line,
Margaret is going to shift to Trans-Atlantic.
11

11

I hear Annette Huntoon and Arnold are getting married next month
and that Donald Faber is building their house. He built houses for Foe Davis
and Connie Schook too. That reminds me/ Foe and George have three children. Connie is still working at the Snack Shack in Twin Lakes. Of course it's a
partnership affair now.
Say what's Norman Marzahl doing? I suppose he has a dairy farm of
his own by now. Did you know that Wally Skora and Gerald Schulz have put
out their latest farming invention? They are raising sunflowers along with
clover so that the cows will give sunshine milk.
Did you read Phydele Hancock/s ad in last weeks paper, 1/We sew
anything that a needle will go through. Anna Lou Hansen is head seamstress for Phydele. Anna Lou and Dick have been married for three long
years.
11

As you know/ all of the members of the class of 1950 are busy. Why
some have even become big stars. Take Lucille Herr for instance. She made

B\~

the headlines the other day. She's a model in New York and I guess she's
really getting offers for movie contracts. Her next role is in "Mario is a
Freshman." And you remember Phil Brehm don't you? Well, he has a movie
contract also. (It's the first time I ever heard of an understudy for Mel
Blank's fictitious characters). Last but not least, we have Florence Skiba
who is making her first appearance in the Philharmonic next week. I hear
she has developed quite an alluring voice.
Have you heard that Lowell Pitts and his wife Joyce are living in
one of the finest houses in New York, since Lowell became a capitalist?
We have our shore of teachers too. I met Joyce Redlin yesterday
and she told me that Gail Gillmore is teaching school near her home.
Last night when I called Phyllis Houtsinger to tell her about the reunion, she told me she is teaching in some New York Academy for boys. She
has more fun! She told me also that Wilma Wahl has an exclusive dress shop
all her own and that she's making plenty of dough selling to the smart set.
Talking about stores reminds me, Bob Mullenbeck runs a school
cafeteria here in New York. He's making his cones a little smaller this year.
I really was surprised when you told me that John Davidson has a
job with one of the biggest photographers in Chicago. And I didn't know that
Ray Pyle is attending Business Administration College. He'll probably be
running for Mayor of Salem before too long.
I guess Joanne Schmidt has quite a job too. Right now she's working
out at Great Lakes Naval Training Station, but I suppose she'll be getting
married soon. Aren't there a lot of the old class getting married? Monica
Sietz and Paul Anderson were married last fall just before Joan Conrad, the
cyte little brunette "jumped off the rock.'' Even Janice Hackert gave up her
stenography for a ring on her left hand.
Have you seen in the paper that Dorothy Zirbel is playing "Left Out"
for the Kenosha Comets? While we're on sports, I'd better tell you about
Donna Walker. She's back at Wilmot teaching Physical Education.
I guess Bill Spiegelhoff and Kenny Lois are having quite a time with
their latest model farm tractor. It runs on atomic energy and imagination.
I also see where Joyce Dix is selling "Perfume by Fraunsdix". Quite
a business.
Bill Podella is working for the government as a foreign correspondent and Oliver Wells is still driving stock cars at the Milwaukee State Fair.
Have you heard from Eileen Stine and Mary Lou Scott?
heard much except that they were both happily married.

I haven't

There is one person in class however, that I lost all track of and that
is Wayne Griffiths. The last time I heard from him, he was over in Russia
trying to sell Stalin a new form of government. Which leaves us Bart Anderson. He's spending all his time teaching his little boy how to fly a kite.
Well Fay, so much for a breakdown on the class of '50. Say hello to
your hubby and to that sweet little girl of yours. I'll see you at the reunion
next month.
As ever,
Lois
