AMONG OUR SOUVENIRS
There's much left for us
Of days that used to be.
We live in memories
Among Our Souvenirs.
, The Annual that relives the days that flew,
A photograph or two,
Of things we used to do
Are Here Among Our Souvenirs.
· ·A few more tokens rest
Within our treasure chest,
And Tho'they do their best
To give us consolation;
We count them all a part
As we look over days gone by
And find so many happy times
Among Our Souvenirs.
And when those Wilmot High boys fall in line,
We're going to sing for them another time;
It's for the school that we all love so well,
We're going to yell, and yell, and yell, and yell,
and yell, and yell ;
And then we'll fight, fight, fight, for everyone,
Until all of our games are won;
And then we'll sing, sing, sing, sing, sing again,
sing again

And all thellong day through

That make ~s all feel blue .

They pile oiil lessons; OH! it is a scream
They have~'t any pity on us Seniors, Oh! no,
Isn't it terrible they treat us so ?

We seniors iha ve gone through thick and thin;
A better band we couldn't have been
No one else jcould have taken those slams
But we shur up like little lamps.
Now I mustl end my queer little rhyme;
And feel I l).aven't at all wasted my time.
I must not l~nger any longer, there is much to do
For there a~e many things I want to place "Among My Souvenirs."

CLASS PROPHECY
The story yo;::· are about to hear is fictitious,
the names have remained the same to reveal the
lives and futures of all concerned.
My name is "Sergeant Dicklin."
It was May 30, 19·67, and the clock was just
about to strike 7:45 when "Lieutenant Schilz" called
me down to the office. He had a big case for me
to solve, .and he wanted it done quickly,
It was 7:50 when I arrived at the office where
I met my partner "Sergeant Jo Posch." "Lieutenant Schilz" gave me the facts and the nearest thing
he. could figure out was that someone had something
against the school. The only clues the Lieutenant
could give me were that the initials of the guilty
person were D. M.
I began following my only clue and my first
stop was at a popular Tea Room next to the school.
I asked for the owner. and was soon introduced to
a man by the name of "Mr . .Ed Sattersten." I gave
him the reason for my .being there and started questioning him.
I didn't learn much, the only thing he could say
was that only one person had seen the crime and
that I could find her at the Burlington hospital.
This wasn't much help, but it was at least another
fact to consider. I began at once to follow this
clue, with my partner close at my heels.
My next stop was Burlington Memorial hospital
where I met "'Miss Judy Kleeb" just coming out of
surgery, swinging a wicked looking knife. She lead
me and my partner, Jo, to her office and immediately began giving me the facts. She had inside information from someone but I couldn't lay my finger
on just who.
The first point of interest I found out was that
"Roger Allen" .and "Dutch Haase" were in the "Big
time" now. I wasnt sure of their reason for this
but the nearest .clue was that their giggling act was
paralizing thousands. They were using previous
experience-English 4.
Judy went on to say in a friendly manner that
she knew of a floor-walker at a big department
store by the name of "Ed Zima." He had been
using the. experience he got in training for track
while in high school to get around QUick and if anybody could help he could. Maybe there had been
more than just one witness after all. Someone was
holding back the facts ·and I wanted them all.
It was 10:22 when I arrived on the spot and it
took little time to find my suspect. Before I could
catch my breath I was. standing in a small room,
namely the boiler room. ,Just as Ed began talking
the door flew open and in walked a guy by the name
of "Irv Partenheimer." I later found out that he
was the janitor and his favorite job was "sitting"
in the boiler room.
Mr. Zima began talking in a hurried fashion
and I had little chance to catch the facts, just the
facts, straight facts. He had noticed a woman coming down the street at the time the crime had been
committed. The one strange thing about the whole
affair was that she was being followed by five little
girls that looked just like her. He saw them get
into a car and then heard a man shouting, "Hey,
Miss Schwartz," which was her maiden name.
It was 11:22 whc;~ Jo and I started on our way
out. We had wasted another. hour without getting
any information.
J o and I stopped for lunch at a .place called
"Clever Suz.'.' We learned the proprietor's last
name was Rausch and she was featuring "Franz'~
Hot Shots" for enter-tainment along with a side
show of Can-Can Dancers that was put on by "Jones
and Smith, Inc." As the show started the first
thing that attracted my attention was a sign that
was carried on to the stage saying, "If You Can~Can,
We Can-Can."
As we left I asked J o if she thought it was
worth the trouble to look up Miss Schwartz. Her
answer was, "No harm in trying, only thing we've
got to go on." I agreed.
Miss Schwartz liv.ed in the better part of town,
about seven minutes away from "Clever Suz."
It was 12:5·6 when a.girl of about eight opened
the door. I asked for Miss Schwartz. The girl
looked at me rauher skeptically and called, "Mommy." This brought a woman in her middle twenties
to the door.
·
I gave her the facts and she answered the
questions the best she could. 'She had been on the
block when the school was robbed all right. But
she hadn't .seen much. J o glanced at me Tather
strangely .and I knew what she meant. We both
headed for the door.
"Oh, wait!
Schwartz.
I did notice one thing," said Miss
"Yes Mam, What?"
"There was a truck parked in front of the school
with a 'Jacobs Trucking Company' sign on it, but
there was nothing phony looking about it to me."
"Thanks Mam," I said, and left.
Outside Jo asked, "W.ell, what now Sergeant?"
This was a question Ieouldn't answer.
We weren't getting very far but there was
nothing to lose in going to see Mr. Jacobs. We
found out from "Darold Callow" the owner of the
gas station, that Jacobs ran a trucking company
located on the outskirts of town.
It was 1:15 when we arrived at a large trucking
company where "Miss Hauri" the secretary greeted
us. She told us that Mr. Jacobs would be back from
Page Twenty-five
lunch soon and we could wait i£ we wished to.
At 1:23 Mr. Jacobs returned and asked us into
his office. He was more than willing to give us all
the help he could. He told us that as far as the
robbery was conce·rned there wasn't much to tell.
He was able to give us more clues and a few name·s
of people that we might look up.
There had been graduation exercises. that night
and the main speaker, "Mr. Kaiser," a professor
from the University of Wisconsin, was leaving the
building at the time the robber entered, at least as
near as he could figure out.
Lieutenant if it would be possible to have a couple
of plain clothesmen case the joint. He agreed and
then called "Sandra Meehan" and "Elaine Brady"
into his office and then turned them over to me.
I gave them the facts, just he facts, straight fact~.
They shook their heads and left. They knew what
I wanted and they weren't going to waste any time
in getting it.
Mr. Jacobs handed me a card with the saying,
"Why walk around half dead when we can bury you
for only $49.50." As I took t'he card I noticed the
name of a funeral home on it. "W orr ells, The Last
Stop." This figured.
At 10:15 the office boy brought in the lab report
and the morning newspaper. The Rosell Gazette,
edited 'by my close friend "Rosella Schaff." She'd.
covered a lot of my stories since I became a Sergeant. Glancing at the paper the headline caught
my attention, "WEA,V:ER INCITES RIOT." I was
about to read on a little further when Jo came back
with some coffee·. I asked her if she had heard any ..
thing about the riot and she said that "Miss Weaver" had cac;·sed the riot by getting people all enthused about women running for President. "You
know how it is, Serge•ant Dicklin. The men can't
see it and the women are fighting for the privilege.
Just one constant riot."
We made one last stop before heading back to
headquarters. This was at the station lab. I gave
the technician "Miss Pat Kaskin" the card and told
her to get the finger prints from it and any other
evidence she could find out that might be of some
help.
Just as I began laughing the door burst open
and "Sandra" and "Elaine" .came in. They had the
facts all right, just the facts, straight facts, nothing
but the facts. What they knew was enough to convict anyone.
J o looked at me and said, "That's one way of
.getting into the building without being noticed."
She'd sure put her thumb on a fact there.
Back at headquarters I asked Lieutenant Schilz
if anyone had checked at the school. He said, "Yes,
and it sure was a clever robbery. No e·vidence whatsoever." He told Jo and I both to go home and
sleep on the subject and if anything turned up he'd
let us know.
On my way home I stopped at a new bakery
by the name of "Wendys Goody Shop," that had
been built just re·cently by, "Schick's Construction
Company" and the interior had been decorated by
a famous woman by the name of "Beverly Rasch."
'1\he place had been there only a month and all ready
it was known nation-wide.
I did my best to relax that night by watching
the Braves game and then a murder mystery~ The
Braves won, naturally. With "Ed Skora" for their
manager how could they go wrong.
At 8:02 I checked into the office the next day
and L,iuetenant Schilz said nothing had turned up.
Then I met Jo on the corner of 56th street. I told
her I had a hunch, just a hunch, but it was worth
following.
It was 9:15 when we walked past a bar at the
corner of 22nd and Holsten avenue. I told J o .that
I had heard that a group of gangsters could be
found at the place and as long as we were in the
neighborhood we might just as well kill two birds
with one stone. The owners name was, "Mousy
Mueller" and as I approached him he looked around
quickly giving me the impression that he was looking for someone. I also noticed as I talked to him
he was a little fidgedy. This whole place looked
like a fake to me and I had a hunch about the place,
just a hunch.
I went back to headquarters and asked the
They had discovered that "Mousy Mueller" was
carrying on illegal gambling and that he was using
the bar as a cover up. 'They also knew 'chat he was
wanted in two states for the .same crime. During
the time they had been there they had noticed a fellow come up and talk to Mueller in a low voice and
as he left they heard Mueller say, "Nice work,
Chas." This guy was behind the whole works. He
was the brains of the gang and "Douglas Mathews"
was th,e play-hoy.
"One more thing Sergeant."
"Yes, what is it?"
"If you're wondering why Miss Judy Kleeb
didn't tell any more and seemed anxious to tell what
she knew it's because she was being blackmailed by
a guy by the name of 'Dave Faerber.' The cops are
on their way to pick him up now.''
I told Sandra and Elaine they had .done a good
job and it might possibly get them a promotion.
This was the story just as it happened. In a
moment the results of the trial.
Trial was held in the Municipal Court of salCi
County at the county courthouse, on the 5th day
of May, 1967, at 10:00 o'clock in the forenoon. The
judge presiding the court was "Agnes Kraemer,"
with "Joan Glade" as the lawyer for the defendant
and "Dick Timmer" the attorney for prosecution.
The jury consisted of:
Sandra Davis-A famous New York model.
Wayne Larsen-A dentist from California.
Ralph Kerkman-A noted pilot for T.W.A.
Dick Bruenning'-A National President of the
Y.M.C.A. His opinion is that the younger generation is going to the dogs,

ing to Mueller to get the necessary funds she needed
to establish the Kennison !;lome for the Crippled.
Barbara Loth-A great scientist. (There are
very few things that Barb doesn't know.)
After the facts were given "Lynn DeBell,"
Cou•rt Reporter read back everything that had been
said and a verdict was soon passed.
Muriel Shannon-More widely known as Miss
Wisconsin.
Jo and I sat in on the trial and the facts were
given-just the facts. There was only one slip-up"Wilma Kennison." She had been renting the build-

SENIORS
The Senior class of 1957 has finally and with
regrets finished their last year at good old Wilmot
High. When they signed in as Freshmen they were
called "the freshies of '57," but these four years
have passed too. quickly.
This year has been a busy one for all the Seniors.
At our first 'class meeting we el!!cted officers with
Miss Gulan presiding until Dick Timmer was reelected President: Joan Glade was elected VicePresident. Susan Rausch as Secretary, and Jo Ann
Posch as Treasurer. Charlie Mathews was elected
to represent our class at student council.
For our homecoming we elected Ed Skora who
chose Kathy Hauri to pe our attendants in the
court with King Jerry Schlitz and his Queen.
Everyone who attended the Senior F'ormal on
December 29, thoroughly enjoyed dancing to Joe
Petrini's music under a sunset in the mountains to
carry out the theme of "Canadian Sunset."
Our own class advisor, Miss Gulan, directed our
Senior class play and we wish to thank her for
making "The Little Dog That Laughed," the success
it was. The play was presented April 5th to a
very impressed audience.
As the days at Wilmot draw to a close we wait
with anticipation for the Senior Banquet which is
in the planning, and the great day of Graduation
itself. We wish to say a sincere thank you to Mr.
Schnurr, all the teachers we have had, and last but
not least to our class advisor, Miss Gulan. We also
would like to wish a good luck to all the Seniors to
be.

JUNIORS
On September 4, 1956, fifty-five students registered as Juniors proud of their new name as "upperclassmen."
We started our Junioryear without a class advisor until Mr. Bucci consented to take us over. At
our first class meeting we elected Jack LaMeer; president; Marlene Ratchek, vice-president; Gloria Schneider, secretary-treasurer; Rosemarie Hegner, student council representative.
Our class play was a big success thanks to our
director, Miss Gulan, who kept us working hard and
earnestly right up to the night of the play, which was
November ninth. We felt that everyone had done a
terrific job in putting on "Our Hearts Were Young
and Gay" as the final curtain dropped.
The Football Homecoming was a very exciting
event for us. We elected John Rausch and Dorothy
Zboja as attendants to represent our class at the
dance.
It seemed like only a short time after the
play that prom time came around. The decorations
fit right into the theme of "Harbor Lights" for
which Mrs. Firchow gave us many ideas for decora. ting. The prom was a big success with everyone
having a fine time. Our king was Gil Amborn and
his queen Gloria Schneider.
Our class rings arr~ved surprisingly early on
November 10, and we began to realize that we were
really getting ~~l'-iW.~~'~f~fr:tlJ00:~ear.
We enjoyed our Junior year to the fullest extent
and we are looking forward to our next year at Wilmot as "The Seniors."

SOPHOMORES
On September 4, seventy-eight students registered as Sophomores at Wilmot. Of this number 33
were girls and 39 were boys. Mr. Mammenga was
in charge of our first class meeting until we elected
the following officers: President, Robin Young; VicePresident, Mary Komes; Secretary-Treasurer, Ronnie Toepper; and Student Council Representative,
LeRoy Norstrom.
In November, we gave the Freshmen a welcoming party. We think it was a big success and that
by the end of the evening we were all acquainted
with the "F'reshies."
Soon after this, the magazine sale was on and
the Sophomores turned in more money than any
other class although we were followed closely by the
Juniors. Don Amborn won a phonograph which was
one of the many prizes won by members of our class.
When Football Homecoming came .around, we
were honored to have a Sophomore, Karen Richards,
chosen as homecoming queen. We selected Kenny
Nicpon and Carole Ness to be her attendants from
our class.
Maybe the biggest thrill of the year came during the inter-class tournament in basketball when
the scoreboard clock stbpped ending the championship game which was won by our Sophomore boys.
We were also very honored to have two Sophomore girls elected to act as "A" team cheerleaders.
They are Dana Davis anq Robin Young. We think
that they did a swell job and are sure that the whole
school is proud of their work.
As we look forward to another year at Wilmot
we can only hope that the next will be as pleasant
and prof'i table for us as this one has been VIT e know
it will be a big thrill to be classed as "upper-classmen."

FRESH1VIEN
Another September rolled around and the doors
of Wilmot High School operied to welcome seventyeight frightened but curious Freshmen who passed
through them to start their four years of work toward a diploma.
To get us off to a good start, Mr. Rockwell was
chosen to be our class advisor and .he took charge
of our first meeting until we had elected the following officers: Tommy Dicklin, President; Marilyn
Bucci, Vice-President; Beverly Baden, Secretary'Treasurer; and Judy Lois, Student Council Represenc
tative.
We all felt proud to be able to take part in the
big bonfire and homecoming dance. We were also
proud of our attendants, Marilyn Bucci and Jim Ratchek.
In November, we were given a "Welcome to
Wilmot" party by the Sophomores. We all enjoyed

school night of March.
Many of us have joined in the school parties and
in the club activities and would like to thank all the
"upper-classmen'' and the members of the school
faculty for making our first year such a pleasant
as well as profitable experience.

The High School Band is, of course, one of
the major activities of the school. The picture above
was taken early in the year and many members have
been added since that time. Agnes Kraemer ·and
Joyce Probst, both majorettes, are not pictured, and
Barbara Caddock, Pat Kaskin, Eric Sattersten, Bill
Van Patten, Don Schick, Enrico Bostone, and Bob
Switzer have all joined this organization during the
year.
The band is active in .the fall as a marching
unit at all home football games and at the half time
interval for our basketball fans. Besides this, they
have entertained twice in the assembly, once for the
people of Southern Colony, Union Grove, and have
taken part in the Massed Band and in the regular
contests. They also entertained at the Christmas
party. The Massed Band concert was held at Lake
Geneva this year. Members of the Music Department placed eight firsts out of eleven entries at the
Whitewater contest. Roger Dankert and Carol Franz
qualified as entries at the state contest at Madison
and. were also our representatives at the Massed
Ba~d. The results of the Whitewater contest are

SENIOR PLAY

"The Little Dog Laughed" as portrayed by the
cast pictured on this page under the direction of
Miss Gulan, was probably the most humorous play
to be put on in our school for many a year. The
members of the cast kept a large audience in almost
continuous laughter from the rising of the. curtain
at 8:15 to the end of the final scene. Sandra Meehan, the star of' the play, enacted the part of a
student of psychology home from college and her
psychanalyzing resulted in the many ridiculous situations which kept the audience "hanging on every
word."
As is always the case, the success of the play
cannot be· attributed to the star alone as every character seemed to be perfectly cast and each one did
a splendid piece of work·in his or her part. The
date of the play was April 5, and the cast follows:

FOOTBALL
Wilmot's 1956 football team engineered
somewhat of a major surprise to the delight
of all its fans;
With only four returning lettermen, the
prospects for a winning season looked very
bleak. Seven positions had to be filled by
boys with very little experience. With this
in· mind, Coach Bucci had the team run
through two practices a day from late August in the hopes of molding the boys into
a smooth-working unit.
· .
The long hours of hard work; perseverance, and the desire to win paid off. The
team compiled a very respectable 6-2 record, its only losses coming in two very
close, hard-fought games.
The first defeat was a 12-6 loss to Antioch-the usual defeat which tends to spur
the team on to greater efforts. The second
defeat came at the hands of Whitewater,
the conference champions;
· The team ended the season in fine fashion, winning the la.st. five games in a row.
Delavan, always a rough. opponent, almost
interrupted this string in a game climaxed
by one of the most exciting finishes in Wilmot's history! With the score tied 7-7, .
Jerry Schilz leaped high into the air to
snag a. last-second, desperation pass from
Dick Timmer. He caught the hall just
inches inside .the end-zone and fell to the
ground with the winning touchdown and
with just 14 seconds remaining in the game!
The time ran out and the final· score re:i:nairied; Wilmot 14, Delavan .7.
It was this type of fighting spirit which
enabled the boys to make the. season a very
successful one-.one which will go into the
books as further credit· to Coach Bucci's
fine record at .Wilmot.
We are very proud of all>the boys who
were out for football Whether. they were on
the first string or on the· ''ha:mburgers:'' No
team can get along \Vithout its "hamburg~
er" and it is these 'boys who will be the
stars of our future teams.
Captain Dick Bruenning and Dick Timmer were selected on the all-conference
team. Bill (Dutch) Haase, Jerry Schilz,
Ed Skora, and Dave Faerber were named
on the second team, and Irving Part.enheimer was .given honorable mention.
Credit is also·· due to Ass't. Coach. Bob
Handke, who ably aided Coach. Bucci as
his backfield coach.

BASKETBALL
The record books will show that Wilmot finished the '56-' 57 season in a fifth
place tie with Delavan on the basis of a
record of five wins and nine losses.
From this and from their 11-10 overall record, it appears that the Panthers enjoyed what, at best, may be termed a very
mediocre.· season, but actually the season
as a whole was quite successful.
Again, as in football, the team was
faced with the problem of inexperience.
Captain Ed Skora and Dick Timmer were
Coach Bob Handke's only returning lettermen. But Jim Bauman, Roger Allen,
"Dutch" Haase, Wally Partenheimer, and
Gil Amborn, all boys whose only previous
experience was B-squadplay, did very commendable work in filling in the vacant positions.
The team won its first four games including a 72-66 win over the Alumni. It
was the first time in approximately eleven
years that a Wilmot team was able to defeat the stars from the ranks of the old
"grads."
Although the 5~9 conference record is
rather unimpressive, it does not give a true
picture of the caliber of the team. In the
opinion of many, the teams of the conference were more evenly balanced than they
had been in a long while. All the teams
were nearly equal in potential. This point
is clE:,arly illustrated by the fact that the
first place team. was beaten by the third
and fifth place teams and was able to beat
our team by only 7 and 5 points respectively in their two meetings. Five of. our nine
losses were .by seven or less points and two
others were by only 10 points.
In a record-breaking scoring duel with
Lake Geneva, Wilmot compiled an amazing total of 103 points while the Re.sorters
totaled 98. The 103 points is a school record, and the 98 points for a loser is also
highest in our history. It was in this game
that Dick Timmer set an individualscoring
record for Wilmot by scoring 39 points, Ed
Skora also had a very good night as he
tallied 31 points.
At the close of the season, Jim Baumann was elected Captain of next year's
squad. Jim, a guard, averaged 7.3 points
per game. Scoring honors went to Dick
Timmer with 24.5 average. Runner~up
was Ed Skora with 16.9 points per game.
Timmer was elected to the all-conference
team and Skora was given honorable .men'cion.

CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS
Continuing in the winning ways that had distinguished our 1956
football and -basketball teams, Wilmot walked off with the Southern
Lakes conference baseball championship also.
After losing the first start (non-conference) to Kenosha High
School, the team swept through their seven conference games without
a defeat. Their 7-0 record gave them possession of the conference
crown and of another trophy for our already well-stocked trophy case. ·
A quartet of experienced pitchers, Don Swartz, Ray Arndt, Everett Benedict, and Dick Timmer provided Wilmot with an .able mound
staff. They were afforded excellent support. at the plate by such boys
as Jack Ellis, Ron Faber, Don Timmer, Ed Skora, and "Dutch'' Haase.
At the tournament at Fox River Park,. however, our power at the
plate was successfully curbed by the brilliant pitching of Salem Central's ace, "Ben" Zeihen, and we lost this contest. So ended another
successful baseball season for Coach Handke's teams.

and Field meet.
This very fine showing at the State culminated a very successful
track season for Coach Bucci's boys and one which climaxed the sports
activities of one of the greatest athletic classes in Wilmot's history. A
number Of Senior track members, who also had been the nucleus of the
football, basketball, and baseball teams, placed very well at the State
meet. Ray Arndt won first place in the 120 yard high hurdles, Don Timmer finished second in the 100 yard dash, Ron Faber, Don Swartz, Don
Timmer, and Dick Timmer mad~ up the 880 yard relay team which also
finished second, and Bill Davis placed in the shot-put. Everett Benedict
in the broad jump and Charles Frank in the 440 failed to place. Sopho"
more Jim Baumann finished fourth in the mile event, and Juniors
"Dutch" Haase and Ed Skora fared well in the pole vault and shot-put
respectively.
Wilmot looks forward to another successful season in trackin 1957
\u.l:l-smuch as several under..:cJassmen looked very good in the conference
ri}e:~~s and should prove to be future winners for Coach Bucci's track
t~a~s.
·
A v~ry rainy spring caused the· cancellation of many meets but in
t11e two ~eets held Wilmot came off victorious as the record below
shows:·

THANNS FOR THE MEMORIES
.:x~ ..¥1M-~ ·.,-::-.·•.1£~
Page Eighty-four
We are proud to include here the' picture of the honor
students in the class of 1957. Top grades entitle Pat
Kaskin, Marjo·rie Weaver, Wendy Bunce, Susan Rau~ch,
and JoAnn Posch to share the scholastic spotlight as
they appear on the commencement program at
graduation.
Here we would like to honor Dick Timmer and Ed
Skora who· were named to membership on the allconference basketball team for their fine work in that
sport and also for their great spirit of sportsmanship.
Judy Jones, Joan Glade, and Sandra Davis have been the nucleus of oJ:r cheerleading staff during the year because of their Senior standing. We are sure that
their fine work in building school and team .spirit has added much to our successful
seaso~ in sports;
·
·
Pictured here with the coaches are the members of the all-conference football team of 1956,
Dick Timmer, who excells in almost anything he takes part in; and Dick Bruenning our all-conference
guard.
At left is the winner of the
Daughter of the American
Revolution award given for
scholastic ability and allround achievement. She is
Diane Lois.
At right is the winner of
Betty Crocker Homemaker's
Award. Agnes Kraemer probably would also have been
among the honor students
ihad she not graduated at
mid-term.
At left is Sandra Meehan
who represented our school
in the State Forensic contests and rated a big "A"
there.
Above are the winners of the spade and spoon awards
by the class of 1956. The awards are given to the boy
and girl who are considered by the preceding class to be
the most representative of the all-round student. They·
are Dick Timmer and JoAnn Posch.
CONGRATULATIONS,
SANDRA.
OLD WILMOT HIGH SCHOOL
Old Wilmot High, we bid you now
A last and fond adieu ;
We're leaving all your spacious halls,
With all your work we're through.
And though we may again come back
You'll never be the same ...
The haughty air of being "tops,"
Can never be reclaimed.
For others soon will take our place
As the days grow into years,
But always in our hearts you'll live,
Among our souvenirs.
For four long years you harbored us
And filled our lives with trials.
You made success laborious
As the trail stretched into miles,
But knowledge now can rise above
The weary clouds of doubt;
And we can see, with hearts of love,
The trails have made us stout.
So now we mourn at leaving you ...
We've got to say "good-bye;"
We feel a tugging at our hearts,
A grief we can't deny.
And always will we long to come
Back to your fold once more
And always will we bear in mind
Those happy days of yore.
We'll ne'er forget the friends we won
Nor the ones we may have lost ...
We wouldn't sell the knowledge gained
From you, at any cost.
Ah! Yes, we'd give a lot to be
Back with you once again
Old Wilmot High, I'm sure we'd find
You just the same as then.
