We, the Senior Class of 1958, officially dedicate this book to our
class advisor, Mr. Bucci, in appreciation of all the help and understanding he has so unselfishly given to us.
He became our advisor at the beginning of our Junior year and
has earned the respect and admiration of every member of our class.
As we finish our sojourning "THROUGH THESE DOORS" he
will always stand out in our memory as a friend to whom we are very
much indebted.

THROUGH THESE DOORS
Since earliest times a (;door" has been the means of separating
the warmth and comfort of "indoors" from the cold and misery of
"outdoors." But somewhere in our culture it has become more than
that. It has become the symbol for entrance into new and exciting
experiences, or opportunities. \V e hope that the contents of our
yearbook will be a reminder to all who may read it of the many
privileges and opportunities we enjoy at Wilmot High as we spend
four years in passing "THROUGH THESE DOORS."

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

We would like to use this medium for the expression of our thanks
and appreciation to our High School Principal, !VIr. Schnurr, because of
his never-ending interest and concern in each of us.
His wise council has given us a sense of responsibility that will help
us in assuming a position of leadership in the society which a waits us
as we make our last exit as Seniors "THROUGH THESE DOORS" at
Wilmot High.

Schnurr, Principal; and Mr. Al Fisher.
To provide the necessary facilities and equipment for the operation of a school requires many hours
of deliberation and planning. The members of our Board of Education have unselfishly given of their time
in order that we might lack nothing essential to our education and well-being here.

SENIORS
On September third, fifty members of
the Class of '58 enrolled for their final
year at Wilmot. By the end of the year
we had only forty-four of the fifty members left.
At our first class meeting we elected the
following officers: Marv Vinvent, President; Al Smith, Vice-President; Donna
Minnis, Secretary-Treasurer; and Wen dell
Schenning, Student Council Representative.
Mr. Bucci is our advisor for the second
term.
We elected Al Smith as our Homecoming
King to represent us on October third, with
Charlene Thebault as his queen. The other
senior attendants were Dick Mayo and
Gloria Schneider. The dance was a big
success and we were all very proud of our
royalty and courtiers.
On January eighteenth we had our Senior Dance, "A \Vinter's Dream." It was
held instead of a Winter Formal as the sen-

iors have always had in the past and it
turned out to be quite a success. The decorations were unique and different than any
we have had in the past.
The senior girls won the intramural basketball tournaments again this year making us champions for two years in a row
and we were all very happy about this.
Our class play, "Papa Was A Preacher,"
was presented on April eighteenth. We
wish to thank Mrs. Weinstein for all the
help and guidance she gave us in presenting it and making it a success.
\Ve are looking forward to our Senior
Banquet which is to be held on May twentieth, and also to our graduation on May
twenty-eighth.
Now as we leave for the last time
"Through These Doors" we wish to thank
Mr. Schnurr, the faculty, and Mr. Bucci
for all the things they have done for us in
the last four years.

On September 2, 1957, sixty-seven eager
and excited students enrolled as Juniors.
Of these sixty-seven, thirty-five were girls
and thirty-two were boys.
At our first class meeting we were
pleased to have Mrs. Firchow named as our
class advisor. We elected Wally Partenheimer as Class President; Harold Marcussen as Vice-President; Karen Richards was
elected Secretary-Treasurer; and Leroy
Norstrom was chosen to represent us on the
Student Council. Leroy left during the year
and we chose Bob Horton to replace him.
Our class was represented in the Homecoming by Bob Horton and Robin Young.
Everyone who went to the dance found it
very enjoyable and we were proud of our
"royal" representatives.
On November 6, we put on our junior
class play. Because of the fine directing
of Mrs. Weinstein, we cherish its memory

and list it as one of the many exciting and
successful events which took place during
our junior year.
Our class rings arrived around Christmas
time and we were really thrilled with this
Christmas present.
The junior boys won the inter-class basketball tournament making us the champions for two years in a row.
The Junior "Prom" is probably "tops"
of all our beautiful memories as we look
back over the year. The theme of the
"Prom" was "On the Riviera." Carole J o
Ness was Queen, escorted by Dick Tilton,
the King.
We shall always remember our third
year at Wilmot as a very pleasant and
profitable one and hope that in our next
and final year \Ve may have many more
wonderful experiences to remember as our
lives continue at W. H. S.

SOPHOMORES
The date was September third, the year,
1957. By 8:10 o'clock that morning eightyone Sophomores had entered the doors of
Wilmot High to spend another exciting
year.
Mr. Rockwell remained as our class advisor and conducted our first meeting, until we had elected our officers who are:
Norm Robers, President; Sue Bartels, Vice
President; Carol Ann Schenning, SecretaryTreasurer; and Paul Dicklin, Student Council Representative.
The next big event of the year was football homecoming. We chose Tom Dicklin
as our candidate and he, in turn, chose
Louise Griebel to be his partner in the

homecoming court.
On November fifteenth we gave a welcoming party to the Freshies which was returned on March fourteenth. Both parties
were thoroughly enjoyed by the classes.
In the inter-class tournaments we lost
the championship play-off to the Juniors.
We were very proud to have two of the
girls from our class, Judy Lois and Darlene

FRESHMEN
With the coming of September 3, 1957,
the eighty-five new members of the Freshman Class began their first year at Wilmot.
Mr. Knight was selected to be our class
advisor. The first meeting saw Mike
Gallagher elected as President and Greg
Bush as Vice-President. Billie Lee Bergmark became Secretary-Treasurer, and Bill
Lois was elected Student Council Repretative.
At the homecoming game the freshmen
were well represented on both the playing
field and in the stands. Our homecoming
attendant, Greg Bush, and his date, Rae
Cornell, gave us every reason to be proud
at the dance.

In November the Freshmen-Sophomore
party was attended by a good part of our
class. The dancing and refreshments made
for a wonderful evening and we all enjoyed
it very much.
The greater part of the Freshman girls
took part in the G. A. A. initiation. While
the tests were somewhat difficult, the girls
lasted it out and seemed to enjoy it.
On March fourteenth we hosted the
Sophomores to a return party. Everyone
present seemed to enjoy the affair very
much.
We'll all do our best to make next year's
Sophomore class the best ever to attend our
Alma Mater.

JUNIOR CLASS PLAY
"Night of January 16th" was the title of
the play which the Junior class presented
Nov. 6. The play was unique and different
in that it was a mystery. This was the first
time a play of this type has been presented
at Wilmot.
The entire play took place in the courtroom of the Superior Court of the State of

New York. Karen Andre is being tried for
the murder of a man who she claims is still
alive and hiding out in South America. Miss
Stevens, her attorney, and Mr. Flint, district attorney, cross examine several witnesses trying to obtain the truth. The cast
did a fine job under the direction of Mrs.
Weinstein.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY
On Friday, April 18th, the Senior class
presented "Papa Was a Preacher." This
play, which was both humorous and serious, was certainly successful, for the
audience found it highly entertaining.
The play took place in the living room
of the parsonage in a small Texas town.

The plot consisted of the troubles and problems that confront the family of a preacher.
Each member of the cast played his part
extremely well, which along with the help
of our director, Mrs. Weinstein, made the
play a big success.

The student council each year takes charge of the annual Christmas
Party. This year the members of Spanish club sang, Marv Vincent gave
a humorous reading, the school band played a few selections, and certain students were selected to try to knock down the Spanish "Pinyata."
Following this entertainment a dance was held, and refreshments were
served.

"A WINTER'S DREAM"
This year the Senior Class had an informal dance instead of the
customary winter formal. The decorations were unique and very different from those used here in the past. "The Sentimentals" furnished
the music and a large crowd seemed to have a very enjoyable time.

FOOTBALL
The Wilmot Panthers came up with a
1957 football record of two wins and four
losses with two tie scores thrown in. This
is a somewhat less impressive record than
the one made by the Panthers of 1956, but
the graduation of seven outstanding boys
had left Coaches Bucci and Handke with an
inexperienced team and this inexperience
played a big role in the 1957 outcome as
mistakes were the determining factor in a
big share of the games lost.
In our first game the team left the Antioch "jinx" to be dealt with by some future
Panther team as they were defeated by a
margin of six to nothing. While making a
block in this game, senior tackle, Wen dell
Schenning, suffered a back injury which
hurt our line as he was able to play but
very little during the rest of the season.
One week later the team lifted the spirits
and hopes of its members, the fans, and the
students here as they tied the pre-season
favorite, Mukwonago, six to six. Mukwonago went on to win the conference title.
A freshman, Greg Bush, tossed to LaMeer
for the score in this game. East Troy was
our next opponent and this game also ended
in a stalemate seven to seven. Here again
the lack of experience showed itself. Num-

erous offside penalties near the East Troy
goal stopped Wilmot scores which could
have given us the victory. Baumann went
over for our score.
The remainder of the games during the
whole season was a group of hard-fought
encounters, but not until the final game of
the season against Burlington did the team
really get to moving. We beat the Demons
twenty-seven to nothing. We finished the
year in fifth place in the conference standings.

Coach Handke's "B" team or "hamburgers" had a five- win- one- loss record and
should combine with this year's "A" squad
holdovers to build a good team next year.
Junior end, ·wally Partenheimer, received all-conference honors and junior
guard, Jim Elwood, tied for all-conference
at his position, but since he was a junior
and the other boy a senior he was placed
on the second team. Jim was also named
as player of the year for this area by the
Burlington Standard-Press. Captain Jack
LaMeer, fifth highest scorer in the league,
and senior center, Wally Rosentreter, were
given honorable mention by the sports
writers.

Tilton, Herman Harmon, Dick Mayo, Don Amborn, and Mr. Handke.

BASKETBALL
When the buzzer had announced the end
of the final game of the sub-district tournament here, the general rejoicing on the part
of the local fans evidenced the fact that the
boys on our basketball team and their
coach, Bob Handke, had paid their debt in
full for having lost all conference games
this year. With only one win to their credit,
the team had gone into the tournament as
"just another looser," but they emerged
with a perfect tournament record to the delight of all of us. Sharon, Williams Bay,
and Walworth were beaten in successive
games as the record below shows.
Had the tournament turned out differently, the team and their coach need not
have felt too badly about their record.
They started the season with only two
senior regulars. Gil Amborn was not in
the line-up for several games because of an
injured foot, and Jim Baumann was lost to
the squad early in the season because of a

shoulder injury. They also started with a
squad of only about eight members and
these were supplemented by the addition
of two more seniors, Charles Kist and big
Bob Kramer. Probably no player in the
history of our school began his basketball
career in the middle of his senior year and
made a greater contribution to the team's
success than did Bob Kramer. As the season closed Bob was doing a tremendous job
under the boards on both defense and offense. Charles Kist played in only a few
games, but was a real "work-horse" in
practice sessions. The spirit of these two
boys even in defeat is emblematic of the
spirit of all the squad members as they refused to admit their losses and came on the
floor for each game determined to give the
very best that they had for Wilmot High.
We are proud to salute this spirit of determination and to include the team record here.

THE "B" TEAM
These boys, eight of whom are freshmen,
showed a great deal of promise in winning
five of their nineteen games this year. Greg
Bush and Glenn Rasch played regularly
and will give some of the sophomores a run
for the "A" squad next year. Dicklin, Harmon and Ratchek carried most of the load
for the team and will be ready to advance

next year. Robers and Bostoni also saw a
great deal of action. The sophomore boys
lack height which some of the freshmen
boys will be able to supply in another year.
Coach Bucci will have a nice beginning
for a good "B" team next year in the freshmen who will remain for another year of
seasoning.

who was elected next year's captain.

who pitched all but one game and hit an
astounding .667; junior catcher, Jack LaMeer, who pounded the ball at a .423 clip;
seniors, Bill "Dutch" Haase and Ed Skora;

At the conclusion of the regular season,
the Panthers won their own district tournament by beating Central three to one
and by winning a game from Lake Geneva
on a rainy day by the toss of a coin. The
team's next opponent was Hartland-Arrowhead in the regional tournament and here
we were turned back six to four. With six
of the starters from this team returning,
Wilmot fans and Coach Handke look forward to a very fine 1958 season of baseball.

TRACK
The Panther trackmen of 1957 followed
last year's wonderful record with another
highly successful season. The Wilmot
thinly-clads finished third in the Southern
Lakes conference meet, and ended up with
three champions in five events: Jim Baumann in the mile, Bob Horton in the hal£
mile, and Irv Partenheimer in the shotput,
discus, and the high hurdles. Irv was one
of the best trackmen in Wilmot history, having scored four firsts in one event, against

East Troy. Six men, Irv and Wally Partenheimer, Jim Baumann, Bob Horton, Bill
"Dutch" Haase, and Dick Timmer qualified for the state meet at Madison. Irv
scored a fourth in the high hurdles and
Baumann a fifth in the mile, that high level
of competition.
The Panthers, led by Captain Wally Rosentreter, look to a good 1958 season and
maybe some broken records from two juniors, Bob Horton and \Vallr Partenheimer.

CLASS PROPHECY.
The following is a copy of a letter from
Louise Matthies to Kay Cornell and dated
April 30, 1968.
Dear Kay:
No doubt you are surprised to hear :1rom
your old friend Louise Matthies, but I recently had occasion to look up the present
occupation of each of our classmates of ten
years ago, and I thought some of these
might be of interest to you. Let me tell you
what happened.
I now live in Milwaukee and am the
proprietor of an antique shop. There was
to be an exhibit of antiques in Chicago and
I decided that on my way down I would
stop for a day or two in the old ,·illage of
Wilmot.
I started out for Wilmot as planned and
on the way I tuned in my car radio to get
a little music and who should be the disk
j o c k e y but Charles Prange. When I
reached Wilmot, I was simply amazed! It
is no longer the little burg I left in '58, but
a city so large that I had to stop and ask
someone if I was in the right place. I decided the only way I could find my way
around would be to get a map, so I stopped
at the travel bureau and who should be
there but Jack LaMeer buying a ticket for
Arabia. When I asked him why he was
going to Arabia he told me he was going to
visit Stanley Epping who has turned Mohammedan and has 365 wives-one for
each day of the year. Jack's reason for
going is, I believe, obvious. He also told
me that Dave Ezelle is the head of a camel
caravan over there, probably transporting
spices or something stronger. When I asked
Jack if he knew what some of our other
classmates are doing he told me that Wendell Schenning is a policeman in charge of
the town's drag strip, and Wally Rosentreter is a deep sea diver for the Navy.
As I left the bureau I decided to go to
the high school next. Good old Wilmot
isn't so small any more, but five times the
size I remembered it to be. I went into
the Principal's office and who should be
the Principal, But Bob Snarski! Bob told
me that the faculty contained some of our

old classmates. That mathematical wizard, Gil Amborn, is teaching algebra and
geometry, and Jim Bruenning is now teach·
ing his favorite subject, English. Cherene
Siffring is the girl's physical education
teacher and Coach Jim Baumann's basketball team has won the state tournament.
Bob also told me that our old basketball
rival, Central, is being coached by Dick
Mayo who insists on wearing his old Wilmot
letter sweater around school. Just before
I left, he told me that Roger Dankert and
his one-man band had played in Wilmot
the week before for the Junior Prom.
Leaving the high school, I decided to
take a walk downtown. As I walked along
I had quite a few surprises. First I saw an
ambulance go by with the words "Cornell
and Kra1ner's Funeral Service" printed on
the door. As I passed a beauty shop what
should I read but "Charlene Thebault and
Bonnie Snyder Proprietors" and their motto, "If you want to risk it we'll do it." As
I was passing the super-market who should
come out but Darlene Lesner. Darlene told
me some startling facts about some of the
members of our class. It seems Marlene
Ratchek and AI Smith are famous as breeders of off-colored mink, Joyce Probst is
perfume manufacturer, Donna Tilton is a
nurse in a hospital for feeble minded cats,
and Al Scoville trains homing pigeons.
'While we were talking a fire truck went by
and I recognized the driver as Jim Johnson.
Darlene had to get home and fix dinner
for her husband, Frank. She invited me
for supper the next evening and what do
you think she served? Meatballs, of course.
After leaving Darlene, I decided to stop
in the town library and look up some facts
about antiques. I asked the librarian, Lynn
Zaccard, what she knew of our old class.
She told me that Donna Michaelis is a book
binder and that Joy Meloun has just written a book entitled "How to Lose Weight
and Still Snack Between Meals." She also
told me that Joan Gall is now Senator
Charles Kist's new secretary.
After I left the library I had some dinner
and then checked in for the night at the
Wilmot Hotel. The bellboy, John Lovely,

Page Eighty-four

told me that John Zboja is an elevator
operator in the Empire State Building. It
seems also that Ruth Kaiser was a big hit
in her recent Broadway play and that Rosemarie Ziegler just made her debut as a
vocalist in the Metropolitan Opera.
I arrived at my room and was relaxing
with the evening edition of "The Wilmot
Tribune" when I found some more records
in that paper. On the front page was a
picture of Marvin Vincent and his latest
invention, a bee with a je.t propelled stinger. When I reached the entertainment
section of the paper, I discovered that
Donna Minnis, alias Bubbles, is a can-can
dancer and that Naoma Platts is a ballerina.
As I read further the paper announced
that a circus was coming to town and that
two of the stars are Ed Zima on the trampoline and Gloria Schneider, bare-back
rider. Under movies, the academy awardwinning picture, "Kiss Them and Leave
Them," was showing and starring the
Clark Gable of the Sixty's, John Rausch.

In the ad section was one pointing out the
advantages of a new odorless fertilizer
made by Howard Kohlstedt and Co. This
was too much for me so I turned to the
sports section and what should I read but
that Dorothy Zboja is going to pitch on
opening day for the World Champion
Bloomer Girls of Twin Lakes.
I was getting tired of reading so I turned
on the T.V. The first program was "Superman" with Pat Rodney as the new Lois
Lane. After "Superman" came Jim Sheen's
new western series entitled "Sheeny Rides
Again." Following this rip-snorting program came "Twenty-one" with John Venovic returning for his 104th week. After
watching John win three million and some
odd dollars, I decided I had had it for one
day so I went to sleep pondering over all I
had learned, and I hope the whole thing
doesn't turn out to be a bad dream!

LOUISE MATTHIES.
