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
Wilmot High, U! Rah! Rah!

Page One
1957-1958
In school we hear a lot about character building, personality development, physical growth, and other forms of just plain "Growing Up." For this reason, we have chosen "growing up" as the theme of this yearbook in the hope that its pages may reflect
our sincere appreciation for the splendid environment that has been ours during these
four very formative years in our lives.
1958-1959
Page Three
We were indeed fortunate in obtaining Mrs. Firchow as our class
advisor at the beginning of our Junior year. Her radiant personality
and wise council have shown us that she not only excels in the Fine Arts,
which she teaches, but also understands a great deal about the equally
fine art of "growing up." We are also indebted to her for many good
times together and are proud to offer this special recognition in repayment for the many fine things that she has done for us.
Page Four
MR. SCHNURR
As our school grows and develops, administrative duties become
more and more extended. For this reason the Board of Education elected Mr. Knight as Assistant Principal to Mr. Schnurr in the planning
and operation of the school plant and curriculum. The Class of '59 is
appreciative to both for the help which we have received from them in
the selection of our courses of study and for the guide posts which have
been given to us in the choice of a vocation for the years that lie ahead.
We have learned that "going to the office" is invariably a very profitable experience.
MR. KNIGHT

Union Free High at Wilmot, like other schools, is continually expanding
its facilities for better education as well as expanding the plant to accommodate the ever-increasing school population. A new addition to the building,
increased faculty, and better equipment is a part of the program under study
at this time and is a matter of direct concern for the Board of Education, pictured here. From left to right: Mr. Richter, Attorney; Mr. Rasch, Mr. Lake,
Mr. Stoxen, Treasurer; Mr. Bierdz, President; Mr. Rausch, Secretary; Mr.
Badger, Mr. Schnurr, Principal; and Mr. Fischer.
Here we find the representatives of all classes and organizations studying
matters of importance in the government and conduct of students in our
school. Mr. Schnurr is the Advisor, Peg Timmer is President, and Carol Schenning is the Secretary-Treasurer.

Mrs. Ehlert and Mrs. Zarnstorff, pictured above, are in charge of the serving
of the noon day lunch each day. They are aided by pupils who are hired to work
in the kitchen and the program is directed by Mrs. Miller, home economics instructor.
Mr. Frank, Mr. Tilton, and Mr. Neumann are in charge
of the building and grounds' maintenance. Mr. Tilton is
new on the staff.

FRESHMEN
On September 2, 1958, eighty-eight frightened freshmen entered
Wilmot High School in high anticipation of spending nine months of
each of the next four years here.
At our organization meeting we learned that Mr. Dongarra had
been appointed as our class advisor and we elected the following officers: Joe LaFlamn, President; Ray Cates, Vice-President; Pete Gwizdala, Secretary-Treasurer; and Raymond Zirzow as our Student Council Representative.
During the fall we were entertained at a "get acquainted" party
by the Sophomores and we returned the party by giving one for them
during March.
We think that our class has made a fine record at Wilmot: Beverly
Arnold, Sandy Shepanek and Don Yuknis having made the honor roll;
Skip Zirzow, Pete Gwizdala, Lynn Thornton, James Dunford, Ray Cates
and Don Yuknis look like future athletes; and Charles Stohr sold more
magazines in the contest than any other student in school.
We are all hoping for promotion and are looking forward to a
big year as Sophomores.

SOPHOMORES
On September 8, 1958, eighty-six enthusiastic students returned
to begin their Sophomore year at Wilmot High.
Mr. Knight opened our first class meeting of the year and was in
charge until the following officers were elected: Glenn Rasch, President; Bill Lois, Vice-President; Jean Bloss, Secretary-Treasurer; and
Ron May, Student Council Representative.
Our Sophomore Attendant at the Homecoming activities this year
was Tim Gwizdala who chose Judy Rasch as his date in the Homecoming
Court.
Our class was very proud to have Rae Cornell and Betty Ann Rosentreter chosen as "A" team cheerleaders this year and wish them a
lot of luck in the future.
We were also proud to have several Sophomore boys active on the
Varsity team in .sports this year. If they keep up their good work, I am
sure we can look forward to having some outstanding players in the
future.
On November 1, the Sophomores gave a welcoming party for the
Freshmen to help the students to get better acquainted. On March 20,
a return party was given by the Freshmen and enjoyed by our classmen.
I am sure all the Sophomores enjoyed this year very much and are
looking forward to a more enjoyable year as upper classmen and to
taking part in the different activities of the Junior year.

September 2, 1958 found sixty-eight "upperclassmen" enrolling
at Wilmot High, all of them ready and eager to take part in another
new and exciting school year.
At our first class meeting, we were delighted upon hearing that
Mr. Heigl was to be our advisor. Emil Mravec was chosen President,
Frank Jacobs became Vice-President, Paul Dicklin was selected Student Council Representative for the second year in a row, and Joy Nelson was elected Secretary-Treasurer. Joy left during the year with Sue
Bartels taking her place.
Our Junior Class play, "Rest Assured," was a huge success thanks
to the hard work put in by our cast and stagE: crew and the competent
direction of Mr. Don Garra.
The Juniors were well represented at the homecoming with Sue
Bartels as the queen and Jim Harmon and Tam Gwizdala as our contribution to the royalty. Everyone had a good time and was justly
proud of our representatives.
We received our class rings around Christmas time. I'm sure all
the Juniors will agree that their rings are among their most cherished
possessions.
In the inter-class basketball tourney our boys beat the Freshmen
for third place, and our girls lost to the Seniors to gain second place.
Two of our girls, Judy Lois and Darlene Mikolas, were elected "A"
team cheerleaders for the second straight year.
Our prom was the big highlight for us in our third year at Wilmot.
Bob Greskoviak was selected king and, in turn, chose Bev Hartnell to
be his queen. The theme of the prom was "The South Seas." Everyone
in attendance had a thoroughly enjoyable time.
With not much time left at Wilmot, the Juniors are looking forward to their Senior year when they can continue to "forge the chains
that link them to adulthood."

CLASS WILL
Having been warned by our physician that the disease
with which our class is afflicted as a result of this sudden rush of knowledge to the head, is always fatal, and
that no class in the past has been known to survive its
cancerous effects, the class of 1959 is disposed to declare
and publish this last will and testament before we, too,
pass into history. It is our hope that some of those who
receive our favors may profit from them and that many
of our finer traits and characteristics may remain after
we are gone to remind the people of Wilmot High School

SENIORS
The Senior Class of 1959 has finally finished forging through four
wonderful happy years here at Wilmot. When we entered as Freshmen,
we were considered greenhorns but now we're no longer in that category.
This year has been .filled to the brim for us. At our first class
meeting we elected Bob Horton as president, Sharon Karow as vicepresident, Karen Richards as secretary-treasurer, and Bob Lois to the
student council.
When homecoming rolled around, Jim Elwood became king. He
selected Sue Bartels, a junior, as his queen.
On January 17, we held our mid-term dance, "Winter Nocturne."
Everyone enjoyed dancing to the music of the "Collegiates" from
Whitewater.
On April 10, we put on our class play, "Minick," under the direction
of Mr. Dongarra. It was a huge success and all who viewed it enjoyed
the antics of our Senior cast.
We will soon be leaving Wilmot to go out into the world and continue "growing up" but before doing so we hope to have a wonderful
time at our banquet in May and at our graduation exercises.
We would like to thank all who have aided us during our years
here, especially Mrs. Firchow, who became our class advisor when
Mr. Mammenga left us in our Sophomore year. Also, the very best of
luck to all the future Seniors and may they have as much fun as we
have had at Wilmot High.

CLASS PROPHECY
Dear Barbara:
Well, here I am, sitting in my penthouse on the moon.
I've been up here with my husband, a scientist, for the
past three years. I am now going to tell you just what I've
found out about our classmates of '59.
Diane Ehlert is here and she skiis on the green cheese
and also runs a resort for any and all who like to ski on
green cheese.
Donnie Amborn coaches the basketball team that will
soon compete against the moon team. Other players on
his team are Tom Gaynor, Herman Harmon, and Fred
Cornell. They really work together and usually win.
Carol Thebault is directing and producing Broadway
plays. Her leading lady is Robin Young, who has found
her career in acting. Both gained a lot of valuable experience from the Senior Class Play.
Peggy Timmer is the editor of the "Under the Moon
for Parkers" news and keeps us up to date on all the facts.
Violette Larson is operating a beauty studio with the
help of Carol Mae Nelson as chief maker-upper. Tom
Brandes assists with dying jobs. Their last victim was
Dana Davis, who finally succeeded in bleaching her hair.
Bob Horton is the one from whom I receive most of
the news for he broadcasts from Alaska to the moon every
day at about five thirty to six. From him I learned that
you are the head of the Clinic that is on the other side of
the moon, guess I just don't get around as much as I used
to.
Betty Arnold gave up marriage to take charge of the
Arnold Typing Corporation. She has Sandi Miller and Pat
LaFayette as head secretaries. Some times they really
get engrossed in their jobs??????
Jodine Glasby is also up here and she is raising miniature horses for the moon men to ride.
I hear that Eva Smith is aiding you at the clinic and
is in love with the king of the moon men, who is tall,
dark and green.
Ken Nicpon, Ron Toepper and Bob Switzer formed a
dance band which is almost as good as Lawrence Welk.
They have Sharon Karrow as their star vocalist. I hear
she draws a large crowd. Dennis Steffan is their manager. They have made many appearances at Diane
Bush's night club.
Wally Partenheimer is in charge of Moonheimer's,
Incorporated. This firm sends out circulars to the earth
advertising the moon as the place to go on your honey·
moon. Lee Jeffers, who was once the confirmed bachelor,
is now married and has six little ones.
Gary Kunz and Dick Tilton run the High Moon Tavern where all the kids - 18 and over, go to have a high
time drinking straight moonshine and moonshine on the
rocks and also eating green cheese and crackers.
It will also interest you to know that Jim Coleman
is the one they are all talking about; the one who has been
in orbit in a sputnik for the past three months. He went
to Russia on a vacation and they put him into orbit.
Elaine Dziedzic teaches Moonican to the earth people at Wilmot and Shirley Rasch teaches them how to
typewrite that language.
Rich Bentley is on the earth designing cars while Tom
Anderson is customizing them. It so happens that Bud
Meehan has set up a business to compete with Rich, the
only thing is that Bud is here on the moon and Rich is
still on the earth.
Joyce Heagle tours the country as a soloist on the
coronet.
Dick Sheen and Bob Gehring have joined resources
and established one of Wisconsin's most model farms.
AI Prondzinski has worked up the line at Nash and
is now in charge of the assembly line. Harold Marcussen has moved into that business too, and is one of
their test drivers.
Jim Elwood and Mike Mahoney are all stars on one
of the big ten football teams.
Mike McKee has a ranch in Idaho where he raises
horses for Steve Anderson to sell.
Bob Lois is now a very highly qualified math professor at Madison and one of the teachers he works with
is Sandy Jacobsen, who teaches chemistry.
Mary Komes and Esther Larson are earning high
wages working as stenographers for the navy base in
Florida.
Sandra McNeely is happily married and has two children, a boy, Roger, and a girl, Mary. Living next door
to her is Karen Richards, who is married and who has a
set of twins.
Judy Kerkhoff and Rose Boyd are now the proud
owners of the high fashion ladies' shop in Kenosha. They
were together all through school and it seems they are
inseparable.
I hope that I have covered everyone from the class
of 1959. They certainly have grown up from what they
were in high school. Some have done exactly as they said
they would while others have turned out better or worse.
But in the process of growing up no one knows what can
happen. I hope all is well with you and yours.
Carol Phipps is making a mint repairing teeth that
are ruined by the green cheese.

FOOTBALL
Although the Panther football team of 1959, under the coaching of Frank Bucci, did not
have as good a record as that of previous years they made a very good showing, all things considered. The scores began to look better as the boys gained experience, and we closed the season with
three straight wins.
The Panthers started the season off well by tieing Antioch in their first game. Then they
stepped into the rugged Southern Lakes conference competition. They lost the first four games to
the schools who placed 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in the conference. As the boys gained experience
we started to win. The Panthers ended up the season with three .straight wins, downing Badger,
East Troy, and Burlington.
The Panthers placed 5th in conference play. The Senior boys, who deserve a lot of credit,
are Jim Elwood who was this year's captain, Wally Partenheimer, Bob Horton and AI Prondzinski.
Three Juniors who will play a lot of football next year are: Gary Held, Jim Ratchek, and Jim
Harman. These three boys along with Tim Gwizdala and Greg Bush will carry the big load next
year on the football team.
Wally Partenheimer was voted most valuable player of the year in the Southern Lakes conference. He also placed on the All-Conference football team. AI Prondzinski, another senior,
was placed on the second All-Conference team. Those who received honorable mentions were Jim
Elwood, Jim Ratchek, Gary Held, Greg Bush, and Tim Gwizdala.
The student body joins us in proudly presenting the 1959 record:

BASKETBALL
As the 1959 Panthers left the floor having played their last game of the season,
they left with the proud distinction of having won the "runner-up" spot in the sub-district
tournament played at "Wilmot. The season's record had not been too impressive but each
player was proud to have been a member of the team and the fans never lost their enthusiasm for the games. Many of the lost games had been close and the season had been full
of excitement and thrills for all.
The Panthers .started the season off right by defeating Union Grove, 46 to 44, in
a real thriller. After the alumni game, in which they beat us, Coach Handke's team began the conference schedule by playing Delavan-Darien. We lost this one, 51 to 62, and
then took on Mukwonago, where we lost a real thriller, 51 to 54. The next game was a
non-conference tilt with Walworth Big Foot and we won this one 48 to 31. This was to
be our last win until the tournament as therecord below shows.
The teams taking part in the tournament were: Clinton, Walworth, 'Williams Bay,
Wisconsin School for the Deaf, and Wilmot. We successfully moved into the finals by
eliminating Wisconsin School for the Deaf, 65 to 58, but lost in an overtime period to a
good team from Williams Bay in the finals.
Wally Partenheimer's consistently good play won him an honorable mention on the
All-Conference team and Mike McKee .should receive mention for having transferred
from Genoa City as his 6 foot 2 inches in height helped a great deal under the boards. Tom
Gaynor also did a lot of rebounding for Wilmot.

B TEAM BASKETBALL
This year's "B" team under their new coach, Mr. Stowell, didn't have too much to brag
about from the standpoint of games won, but the boys won .something which is just as important and which can never be taken away from them and that is, experience.
Glenn Rasch played for the "A" squad before basketball season was over, but he
wasn't the only Sophomore to show improvement as Allen Pelz, Bob Lois, Ron May, Dennis
Jeffers, and Joe Rygelski will all benefit from what they have learned, when they become
Juniors and step up to play on the "A" squad. Probably the Freshman who contributed
most to his team was Pete Gwizdala. Pete played in every game but one. Other Freshmen
who will carry a big load next year are Don Yuknis, Lynn Thornton, Tom Alby, Ray
Cates, Bill Horbach, .Raymond Zirzow.
The Senior memb~rs of the
basketball squad this year
were:

BASEBALL
Last year's baseball team didn't do as well as some of our teams in the past, but the
Panthers, led by Gil Amborn, their captain, put up a good battle in every game.
Coach Handke started the season off right by leading the team to a 4 to 3 victory over
St. Mary's of Burlington, but when we played our county rivals our luck left us and we
wound up with an 8-0 defeat. The Panthers had only two more wins, one against Lake Geneva and the other against Whitewater City High.
Recognition should be given to Gil Amborn who was the only Senior on the team.
Much credit must also be given to last year's Juniors because they carried the biggest load.
They were: Jim Schlitz, Fred Cornell and Don Amborn.
The Sophomores of "58" should be proud of their four representatives on the team.
They were: Norm Robers, Dave Van Every, Frank Platts, and Frank Jacobs. The Freshmen
were represented by two players who were Glenn Rasch and Greg Bush. Glenn did a very
fine job.

The 1958 Panther trackmen for the third consecutive year kept the school tradition by placing very high in the state and sectional meets. The Panthers were fourth in Southern Lake conference. Throughout the year they lost only one meet which was a match between three schools, Rochester, Mukwonago, and Wilmot.
Five members of the team placed in the sectional meet along with the 880 relay team.. Three
members of the team then represented us in the State meet. They were: Wally Partenheimer who
placed 4th in the 440; Bob Horton who placed 3rd in the 880; and Jim Bauman who placed 5th in
the low hurdles and 4th in high hurdles. We are proud of the record of these fine athletes.

Terry A very, Louise Griebel and Diane Plunket represented
Wilmot at the district contest at Fort Atkinson. Terry received
an "A" here and thus went on to state.
These are all students who participated in forensics this year.
They were coached by Mr. Bilotti
and from this group we received
a winner up at state. We are very
proud of all these people and hope
that next year we will have as good
a turnout as we had this year.

This year there was only one Senior cheerleader and
she was Mary Komes. She did a fine job and deserves a
lot of credit for her hours spent cheering.
The three Senior captains this year were Wally
Partenheimer for Basketball, Donnie Amborn for
Baseball, and Jim Elwood for Football. These boys
led their teams through the year and each did a fine
job.
