NOTE:
The materials herein were contributed by Western Kenosha County Historical
Society which wishes that the history they have in their collection is made
available to those of future generations.
The original books will not withstand regular library use. These pages, instead,
are being made available to protect the original books. As time continues, the
images in these books may be scanned and made available to researchers and
interested parties thru the archive.
Wilmot Union High School did not publish each year. It could be that no books
were published in the years that are absent in this collection.
We included images of pages that had signatures on them. First the images of a
clean book (if available) were made followed by random pages with sayings and
signatures. If you are looking for your relatives penmanship, perhaps you will find
it as you view the booklets. Good luck!
Researchers should also refer to the Digital archives at the SALEM
COMMUNITY LIBRARY for more images in this collection or digital images of
items photocopied in this booklet or related to the topic.
Copies were made with the constant and dependable help of A. Kenjar

There is one who has made our school life more
happy through his understanding and fair consideration
of the pupils' viewpoint, his honesty and sincerity in
dealing with us, and his good fellowship at all .times.

Be·

cause of the spirit of progress, which dominates him to
the degree that self is forgotten, he has striven to give us
the advantages of modern methods in an educational system;
by so doing he has placed our school in a foremost position
among others of its size.
This one is MARLIN M. ScHNURR, who has served
the Union Free High School for several years, first as
teacher and later as o•Jr principaL To him we appreciatively
dedicate this EcHo of 1935.

In accordance with the precedent of issuing a book
every fourth year, reflecting life in the Union Free High
School, we are again publishing the EcHo.
To review the events of the year 193+35 and to
serve as an echo of the past when this year has become
but a memory -

this is the earnest desire and motive of

the staff in compiling this book so that coming years may
be enriched by fond memories as we leaf through the pages
of the EcHo of 1935.

"It's qu~tlity, not quantity, tl:at makes the man."

It would be impossible to tell about all of the plea,sant events of the class of
nineteen hundred and thirty-Eve, so I will give a brief sketch of the more important ones.
On September eighth, nineteen hundred and thirty-one, thirty-three timid little
"freshies" entered Union Free High School. Of course, the sophomores did all th0y
could to peste1· them, but they all lived through it and since proved that they were
capable of doing good work.
Several of them made the honor roll. Several of the boys went out for baseb;,H
and basketball. Most of the girls joined the Girls' Athletic Association and the Girls'
Dramatic Club. A few members of the class took forensic ·work.
\Vhen the class returned in nineteen hundred and thirty-two, we found that our
numbe1· was reduced to thirty people. We had several new members, but many of the
old number had dropped ottt. S;!veral members of this class took up forensic work. A
few of the boys made the first team in athletics. Several of the students again succeedo.!d
in getting on the honor roll.
The Junior roll call of nineteen hundred and thirty-three found twenty-nine
members. This year proved very eventful to the class. Quite a sum of money w:1s
earned by the sale of candy, popcorn, etc. at the basketball games. The class rings were
selected and proved quite satisfactory to the majority of the class.
The class sponsored two one-act plays-"Nancy Orr's Day" and "Thanks
Awfully." Every Junior took some part in the event-either a part in the play or a
part in a special number. The plays were very successful and netted the class a considerable amount of money.
The Junior cla'Ss ended their year with a very successful prom. The gymnasium
was decorated to represent a Dutch scene. Boxes filled with gayly colored tulips were
placed in every corner. The punch well was built to represent a Dutch mill. Th~
punch girls were dressed as girls from Holland. The ceiling was interwoven with light
and dark blue crepe paper. The balcony was decorated in like style for the spectators.
The Juniors decorated the stage for the senior commencement.
ated to represent the motto: "Climb though the rocks be rugged."

It was decor-

When they came back in nineteen hundred and thirty-four for their last year,
there were twenty-seven members in the class.

One of the important events of this year was the Carnival sponsored by tho.!
Boys' Athletic Association. The senior class presented the "Magic Pill" at this Carniv.1l.
It was a humorous little skit and brought in quite a profit for the Boys' Athletic Association.
All in all the class of nineteen hundred and thirty-five was very successful.
great deal of this success was due to Miss Thomas who is our class adviser.

As the year draws to a close, the seniors regret that they must leave Union Fn~c
High School with all its teachers and schoolmates who have helped them enjoy their four
years of high school life.
Every senior feels that these four years were spent as a great benefit to themselves and hope that Union Free High School will always remember them.

THE ECHO

Junior Class History
It was a great day in September for some 30 Freshmah girls and boys that were
about to enter the \Vilmot Union Free High School. Their first few da}tS, when they
were very timid and bashful, were spent in getting accustomed to rhe different rooms,
teachers, and classmates, which they seemed to enjoy very much. But Jfter a bad initiation this small group settled down to do some hard work.

Some of the boys in the class immediately participated in basketball and football.
Among these were John Nelson, Donald Robers, Norman Lischka, Howard Lovestead,
and Arthur Schultz. The girls also found recreation in the Girls' Chorus and th~
Girls' Athletic Association.
We elected for President Lawrence Hansen; for Secr;tary and Treasurer, Dorothy Buckley; for members of the Student Council, Olene Smalfeldt and Norman Lischb..
In our first year we had a little longer and a little more tragic Christmas Yacation than we had expected. Our old school building had burned to the ground. Only
after a week or two the gym was remodeled and used fOr a school-house-which served
the purpose very well. Thus in this queer looking school building v.'e ended our first
year of high school.
Coming back to school again the following fall, we were delighted to find th:tt
a new school building was nearing completion. This time we were not disappointd
to go back to the gym for a few months, and immediately settled down to work.
This year we elected Josephine Larwin as President; Harley Shodiff, Secretary
and Treasurer; and Olene Smaifeldt and Howard Lovestead as representatives for the
Student CounciL
.
Our Sophomore class was badly in need of money, so in order to raise the much
needed money we decided on giving a class minstreL With the help of our class adviser and with the cooperation of the entire class, we were able to have our first big
project a success.
Our third year in high school was to be a big one for most of us. We were
looking forward to putting on a class play, the Junior Prom, and helping the publishing of the Echo.
The first project :md success was the Junior Play, With the excellent help of
Miss Thomas and the cooperation of the best actors we were able to m3ke enough money
to pull our class out of the red. This was only a prediction of the Prom, for this was
also a huge success. One more thing was very important in our Junior year-the purchasing of class rings, and we were very glad that most everybody in the class could
purchase one. With this event we ended our largest year in high school.
\o/ith success crowning our efforts in every way we know that we shall also succeed in our fourth year of high school.

We entered as green freshmen, and took our front seats with everyone stat·ing
at us and snickering, in September 1933, with a total number of thlny-one. We sdl
don't know if we were such a funny looking bunch or what it was that nude everyone
look at us so much. In a few weeks two more pupils enrolled. This made a total of
thirty-three.
At our first class meeting we elected our class officers as follows: President,
Robert Blood; Vice President, Mildred Zmrzly; Secretary, Mary Runyard; Reprcsenutives on the Swdent Council, Jeanette and Melvin Wertz, ,vith Mr. Lieske as our cbss
adviser.
,.
Two of our boys made the second basketball team, some joined the Agrin1lture
Club, several girls joined the Dramatic Club, and some the Athletic Association.
Quite a number joined the boys' and girls' chorus and the band and orchestra.
We were initiated in October by the people, now Juniors, in a most terrifying
manner. During the day we had to write a theme, ''What I Think of Initiation." \We
had to pick up rubbish on the lawn, carry books, and do almost anything the sophomores
asked us to for fear of a worse punishment that night. In the evening we all thought
we were going to our own funeral, but two in our midst found it to be their wedding.
We were forced to walk on bottle caps, ride in a wheelbarrow over a ladder blindfoldeJ,
and many other interesting things.
Three persons, Mildred Zmrzly, Robert Lois, and Charles Groff dropped out
during the course of the year .
We entered as -sophomores chis fall a little more dignified and a lot more confident than the year before with a total number o'f twenty-seven. Now it was our turn
to laugh at the green freshies, and watch every move they made.
Our class officers were elected as follows: President, Robert Dean; Vice President,
Robert Richter; Secretary, Marie Mark; and Representatives on the Student Council,
Lillian Robers and Robert Scott.
The honor of initiating the freshmen was ours! How it rang in our ears, and
how we took advantage of it. In the daytime they had to go up and down stairs backwards, not speak unless spoken to, the boys had to curl their hair, wear girls' shoes while
the girls had to wear boys' stockings, ·wear their dresses backwards and wear a tie. .'\t

On September 4, 193+, twenty-five shy, green "freshies" crept into the assembly.
Each of us almost feared to move, afraid that all the upper classmen would mock us
should we make a mistake. On the following day we kne·w each other a little bett~r
and became well acquainted with the daily routine of class work. After a fev.' more
days, we were still becter acquainted and felt more free.
In a short time we heard of the nrious orgn.nizatio~s, and we decided to join
some of them. Several members of our class joined the Boys' Athletic Association, the
Girls' Athletic Association, the Girls' Dramatic Club and the Future Farmers of Amdica. Only a few joined the Commercial Club. Joe Rausch and Harvey Beaster nude

Mooney and Betty Galtiart feeding each other molasses and the class officers singing a
song. All of us had to climb a stairs and tumble off. Then they made us walk over

THE ECHO

School History
It seems only fitting and proper that a brief history of our high school be preserved in our Echo, so that when years have passed and memories have grown dim we
may be able to look back and read again the history of Union Free High School, Wilmot.

The ground on which the school is located was donated to the village by Mr.
Benham for a park and schoolground. Since the village at that time needed a school, in
eighteen thirty-five, through the efforts of the people, one was built, C()nsisting of one
upstairs room and two rooms downstairs.
In the year 1879 the school was enlarged to accommodate the increased number
of pupils.
In 1904 the school became a common district high schooL The first high
school class to finish its work was the class of 1905, which consisted of ten members.
The school remained under the direction o£ two teachers until 1912. To ml!et
the needs of the people parts of the townships of Salem, Randall, and Wheatland were
concluded into a Union Free High School District.
In 1918 another wing comprising two rooms was added to the building. The
same time this construction was taking place a modern hot air heating system was
installed.
In 1922 a petition for a gymnasium was circulated by Mr. R. S. Ihlenfeldt and
Miss Ermine Carey. With the aid of a great many others in the community a gymnasium was erected. In 1924 a heating system which complied with the state requirements was installed.
Further improvement on the building was made in 1929 when a class room and
boys• and girls' rest rooms were added.
On the memorable New Year's morning of the year 1933 the high school building was completely destroyed by fire. Throughout the surrounding vicinity the loss
was deeply felt. High School classes were conducted in the gymnasium, which was
converted into temporary classrooms to accommodate the pupils.
Various plans were advanced relative to construction of the new building. Special rneetings of both the High School District and Joint District No. 9 were held, and
it was finally decided to place the new building on the same grounds. Construction
was started in May, 1933. During that summer we watched with interest the progre':is
of the building. It was completed in early fall and classes made their entry on the 30th
of October, 1933. Landscaping of the grounds and laying out of playgrounds and athletic field are at present under way.
Dedication of the building was held on November 30th, with John Calahan,
State Superintendent of Schools) as the speaker. Members of the district had every
reason to be extremely proud of the new high school building.
Progress is a reflection of unselfish interests and sacrifice of the members of the
community. We hopti this brief history of the struggle to make adequate education2l
facilities for the children of the community will be an inspiration and guiding star in
the future.

One of the problems of the music department of the Union Free High School
w;1s to organize a Boys' Chorus. ln 1932 Miss Bufton stimulated sufficient interest
among the boys to begin a class in vocal instruction"

That spring the boys assisted in the production of th~ operetta "Bon Voyage.''
Those rhat participated believed that their efforts were well spent. The following year,
the old members and new memb2rs joined the class with much more enthusiasm. The
new class was greatly improved b~cause of the added interest taken, They were combined wi[h the Girls' Chorus to sing several numbers at the Patrons' Club. Later a
scxrette was picked to sing at other publi~ entertainments. Again th~t year the chorus
rook part in the operetta "Ask the Professor." This also was a success.
This third year of rhe existence of the Boys' Chorus has brought forth mauy
more activities. They are now working on the operetta "And It Rained."
The success of the chorus is due largely to the efforts of Miss Bufton, who l1as

At the present time there are twenty-seven pieces in the orchestra-four cornets,
five saxophones, two drums, two trombones, two bass horns, six clarinets, one flute, one
piano, and four violins. Each player has had one or more years of experience,

Within the past four years the orchestra has played at school entertainmentssuch as class plays, operettas, minstrels, and commencements. A concert which W;:tS
given in the high school assembly was enjoyed very much by the students,

It has gained experience through the past several years because of many hours of

Under the able leadership of Miss Bufton a band was organized in 1932, The
music students who had played in the orchestra under the direction of Mr. Aldrich
offered good material with which to start the band.

In the past four years the band has increased in number from nineteen to thirtyfive instruments. As the band progressed, it was called upon to play :at many schooi
functions, and many good concerts were given.
Several members of the band were selected to present musical numbers at many
neighboring school entertainments.

The band assisted greatly in advertising the school carnival which was held in
November. A trip was made through all towns in the vicinity. Many peppy numbers
were played, which created a very enthusiastic response from the residents.
This organization offers opportunity to any student in sc.hool wishing to play

non~conference games, and last year both of our defeats were handed to us by Mukwonago. Our ream h:ts suffered the loss of several good players, such as: Leonard

The h1skerball season was quire successful, due to the fact that we had four d
last year's players on the team. Those who came back were: Maves, center; Runyard
(co-captain), forward; Nelson, forward; Mecklenburg (co-captain), guard; Robers,
anot:hcr guard, was on the second team last year.

Ward, Arthur Hartman, and Dick De Bell the first year; Alfred Oetting and Lyle
Neumann the se~ond year; and last year we lost Floyd Zarnstorff, who was a mainstay
on our team for pitching and hitting, All these men have been replaced by others
who have shown that they also have ability to play the game and have shown it in the
past four years.

This team had several potential scoring threats but did not always click. Runprd led the team throughout the year.

The first year we started our winning streak, the only team we were beaten by
was Waterford by a score of 5 to 3. This was played at Waterford; of course, it was
a thorn in our flesh, because the one team we wanted to beat was Waterford.
The second year we were at: the top again without any defeatsj Waterford again
gave a tight game, bur we beat them by a score of 5 ro 3. Hartman and Zarnstor.ff
~hared the pitching duties.
Last year, 1934, our baseball team was as good as ever. They won another
championship and suffered only two defeats ali year, both of them by Mukwonago.
Our players had an idea that the Mukwonago pitcher was too good, and we were unable
to hit his pitching. We played the final play off at Burlington against Palmyra, the
northeastern champions, We were the winners at the long efld by a score of 14 to 3.
The game was easily ours right from the first inning. Thls ended our baseball year.
For the third consecutive year we had won; here's hoping we win for many more
seasons to come.

Maves improved as he went along. At the beginning of the year he had more
trouble handling himself than the opposition. Toward the end of the year he beg:tn

Runyard played a consistent game through most of the year. He had an

Meetings are held each month in the form of some athletic competition. The
different forms of exercise may be ping-pong, basketball, or roller skating. Girls
usually obtain roller skates and skate in the school basement. Teams for basketball
are organized, and a great deal of rivalry is shown.
During the first semester of school a ping-pong series was sp~msored by the
organization for students. Pupils had their choice of playing singles or doubles,
which were played off during the noon houro
Members of this organization held a roller skating party at Fox River G.u·dens. Some of the girls who had never been on skates were very frightened at first,
but gradually they became accustomed to the heavy weights at their feet, and no
serious accidents resulted.
For the school Carnival that was held November 16, the Girls' Athletic Association put on a style show. Many old-fashioned dresses and capes were modeled.
Modern hats, coats, and dresses were displayed also.
The main object of this organization is to keep the girls interested in outdoor
and indoor recreation, which promotes better sportsmanship. For different forms oi
recreation, if a certain number of points are obra.ined, the girls are presented letters.

what might he the funniest thing about this section would be a picture of the humor

-of how you are the best exercise of the world is laughing-so put your feet upon the
kitchen table, chase the cat out the back door, open to these pages, and get your exercise. In addition, if what follows isn't funny to you call on the humor editors and

Could You Imagine---

Humor

Joe Schlax not having anything to

In this country gangsters get away with murder every day, but they get into battle ·when they
forget to pay their income tax. 'We are a patient

just won 'r stand for.

A SCHOOL PROBLEM
Our precious little ·willie

Is failing in his studies.
We don't know what's the trouble;
It may be it's his buddies,
Or it may be his teacher)
Or it may be the weather,
Or it may be the building
Or all of them together;

Miss K.: ~'hat do you mean by saying that
Benedict Arnold was a janitor?
Joe S.: The book says rhat after his exile he
spent the rest of his life in abasement.

Or it may be the system,
Or it may be the season,
Or it may be the lighting
That constitutes the reason,
Or it may be the textbooks
(Some of them do seem silly),
Or it may be the grading

F. L.: Say, I went to college, stupid.
V. R.: Ye_s, and you came back stupid.

E. V.: Is that a dray horse you have there?
D. R.: No, its a brown horse, and stop your

-Clarmce Edwiu Flyun.
A class in English was given the task of writing
four lines of dramatic poetry. The results were
various, and selecting the verse of a usually bright
boy (Floyd Lubeno) the teacher read"A boy was walking down the track,
The train was coming fast,
The boy stepped off the railroad track,
To let the train go past."
"This verse is verv well done," said Miss
Thomas, "but it lacks drama. Try again, Floyd,
and make it more dramatic." Whereupon, in a
surprisingly short time, Floyd produced the following verse:
"A boy was walking down the track,
The train was coming fast,
The train jumped off the railroad track
To let the boy go past."

Scotchmen live such good lives so they won't
have to p1y for th~ir sins.

Floyd Lubeno: "Space is where that

anyway, I got it in my head."

Don Robers wears spats because he has
only one sock.
Charles G.:

My brother can't plow

a straight furrow.

Mr. Lieske: ~'The sun will cure all
our internal ailments."
Tyler: "Well, what good will that
do us? Do you hang your liver out on
the line?"

Don P, Why, I heard he learned to
plow a straight furrow when he was a
child.
Charles G.: He did, but since then
he learned to drink apple cider.

We heard that John Nelson does his
ice skating where he should do his horse
back riding.

A little Boy
The only way I have to know

She says that some day I'll be a man
With a wife and lots of land,
And maybe if I study hard,
And behave myself in school,
Some day I might be president
\'\rich the United States to rule.
But just the same I surely hate
When April comes around,
When the fish are coming do"'n,
And the palm of my hand begins ro itch
For the feel of the old basebalL
And a sneak to the creek
For a dip in the deep
Of our old swimming hole.
And pretty soon the flowers peep

And there are beautiful birds galore,
And once in a while a green apple or tv.ro
Which makes my stomach •ore.
And then in days when th~re is rain
And the mud is all around,
I take a short cut through the lane
And of course I would fall down!
And then I go home all muddy like
And try sneaking in the door,
Pa by accident is coming outNow, more than my feet are sore.
But just the same it's lots of fun
To be a little boy.
I love my teacher, yes I do
And believe whatever she says,
But I am going to stay a little boy
And let some dumb bell be the pres.

Knowledge may be gained from books but the love
of knowledge is transmitted only by personal contact.
Long after the facts we have learned fade from our memory there will still remain the inspirations we have gained

through knowing someone.

Ruth Thomas will always live in the memory of the
students who have attended and graduated from this

school in recent years, not only as an excellent teacher,
but :as a true and sympathetic friend.
lr is a real privilege to dedicate this book to her.

GenerallY speaking, the American people believe in
public education, but there is some disagreement as to
wh::tt fields it should cover and the extent to which they
should be invcsrig:1ted. Education costs money; every
added department, course, activity, and piece of equipment costs money, but, in the long run, this amount is
usually small when compared to the price paid for ignorance. Such matters as more complete offerings in courses,
adult education, further developments in drama, music,
athletics, and library are all within our reach. These and
other problems deserve serious consideration.
All of 11s may well feel proud of our past accom~
plishments. The future development depends very much
upon community interest and enthusiasm.

The school board can make a large contribution to the
success of our schools. The election of school board
members of fine chancter and intelligence, devoid of partisanship and self-interest. devoted to the interest of our
school is vital to American education. We are fortunate

\Vith the passing- of years, memories of our high school will inevitably
grow dim. Because of this, we wish to prcsen'c in our Echo a brief history

of Union Free High School, \Vilmot.

I

The ground on which the school is located was donated to the village
by Mr. Benham for a park and school g-round. Since the village at that time
needed ;1 school, in eighteen thirty-five, through the efforts of the people, one
was built, consisting of one upstairs room and two rooms downstairs.
In the year 18 79 the school was cnbrged to accommodate the increased
numb~r of pupils.

In 1904 the school bec:~me a common district high school. The first
hi.~h school class to finish its work was the class of 1905, which consisted of
ten members.

The school remained under the direction of two teachers until 1912.
To meet the needs 0f the neople pans o-f the townships of Salem, Randall, and
\Vheatland were included into a Union Free High School district.
In 1918, another wing, comprising two roams, was added to the building. The same time this construction was taking place :~. modern hot air heating system was installed.

In 1922 a petition for a gymnasium was circul..:tted by Mr. R. S. Ihlenfeldt and Miss Ermine Carey. With the aid of a great many others in the
community a gymnasium was erected. In 1924 a heating system which com-plied with the stare requirements was installed.
Further improvement on the building was made in 1929, when a class
room and boys' and girls' rest rooms were added.

On the memorable New Year's morning of the year 1933 the high
school building ·was completely destroyed by fire. Throughout the surrounding vicinity the loss was deeply felt. High school classes were conducted in
the gymnasium, which was converted into temporary classrooms to accornmo·
date the pupils.
Various plans were adv;1nced reLHi\'~ to construction of the new building. Special meetings of both the hi~h school district and Joint District No.
9 we.re held, ;1nd it was finally decided to place the ne"\v building on the snme
grounds. Construction was started in May, 1933. During that summer we
watched with interest tln progress of the building. It was completed in early
fall, and classes made their entry on the 30th day of October, 1933. Landscaping of the grounds and laying out of playgrounds and athletic field took
place the fo1lowing ye:u,
In the fall of 1937 the Home Economics room, which contained a
kitchen and sewing room was completed. It added a new field of study to our
schooL
The enrollment has steadily incrc:-~sed from around one hundred, when we
entered our new building, to the present number of one hundred and eighty.
\\7e have come a long way since 1904, and e'i"en now plans are being
made which, when t~ey materialize, will make another step in the growth of
our school.

SCHOOL. SONG
(Tune~\Vashington

Lee Swing Song)

And when those \'Vilmot High boys fall in line,
\Ve're going to sing Jor them another time,
It's for the school that we all love so well\'Ve'rc going to 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.

for this year wa<; Miss Thomas, who helped us carry out many of our undertakings. The big event of this year was our Junior Prom, which was a great
St!cccss. An ocean scene was the plan. The walls were decorated with waves,
·with boat.~ :md anchors resting on their crest. There were many different colored b:1nners hanging overhead. Our refreshment center took the form of a
life-saver. It was during: this year that we presented our Junior Class play,
''Guess Again." The pby was a comedy and really kept the audience guess··
in g. Our efforts ·were rewarded with much success.
The hst year arrived. We presented the play, "The Eyes of Tlaloc."
lt was a mystery pby cent-~ring everyone's attention around a mural painting
of tbe Aztec god, Tlaloc. Many interesting and exciting moments were developed, keeping the audience wide awake all the time. \'Vc were also very
.<.atisficd with the results of our performance. During this year the school
voted to publish the annual every year instead of once in four years as before.
This year the Senior class decided to publish the Echo. All the staff members
·were cooperative, everyone wishing it to be a success.
Our Senior class as a whole feels that the four years that we have spent
at high school have been a great benefit to us, and it is with regret that we look
forward to the day of graduation when we will have to leave many of our

schoolmates and teachers.

Life is <1 bit dull without some sort of humor ;md fun. It does a lac of good to
hugh, so \Vl' hope you at lc;olst grin when you read this section.
Down through the ages people ha\'e pulled pnctic:ll jokes on one another, so it
w~1s decided to pull ;l Lst one on you rc;tders.
P•:rhaps a picture cf tlS would ..tdd to
your enjoyment while reading this book, but so many would b~ affli::tcd by laughing
sickness, it would be a tragedy to open the Echo to the humor section.
Ne\'crtheless, we fed rh.a you'll enjoy this section, and w~:'ll be only too glad to
hear .1 feVI' compliments or complaints.
Please send ;tll renurks to Frigidaire, Iceland. We think that's br enough awJy.

THE type of men elected to a school board have a great influence on the efficiency with which the school is conducted. Each post requires a man who
is highly respected and who has no selfish interest in the position.
Actions shall always be interpreted in the light of what is best for the
school as a whole, and individual desires must be sulnnerged for the benefit
of all.
Fortunately, our Board of Education recognized these essentials for sue·
cessful school operation. As in all other fields, experience adds to the value
of the service one can render. These men have serve<! for many years and their
efforts are sincerely appreciated.

LET'S stop ofi first at Mr. Schnurr's office. We unde1·stand he has somethin!(
to tell us concerning the publication of our annual.
We present, Mr. Schnurr:
The publication of this annual marks a departure from a custom which
has been in existence for many years. Previously the annual was published
every four years, a vote of the student body indicated overwhelming sentiment
in favor of producing the hook each year. This represents the first book of
the yearly series.
The staff is to he congratulated in that it has been able to present a fine
hook at a greatly reduced eost. This $aving in turn was passed on in reducing
the cost to sponsors. It is hoped that the policy will he continued and that
eventually the hook will become entirely self.supporting.
The philosophy of our school is built around two words: education and
service. Thus, if this hook is to find its place it must add to the education of
those producing it and must provide a service for the student hody and com·
nmnity. Exactly how these aims are to he completely realized is not known
hut through conscientious effort and thought and helpful suggestions, the goal
will gradually he reached.

J
THE Faculty of Wilmot High is very happy to
greet the friends of our school. We believe that
education is a part of life and that life should be
full. In accordance with our philosophy, we offer
as hroafl and vat·ied a curricuhnn as is possible in
a school of Wilmot's proportions while recognizing
that experience has taught our society that there are
eertain fundmnentals of educational experience nee~
essary to the development of every individual in a
detnocratically organized society.

WE believe that edneation is essentially of a two·
fold nature. It is the inherent privilege aiHI
1luty of every individual to he a producer. This
entails the mastery of techniques and skills, of hahits
and attitudes, as fundaJnental to the 8Uccessful accomplishment of this end in our society. No less
irnportant. in a society of 1nass production aiHl resultant leisure time activity is the place of every individual as a consu1ner. Wise constnnption is no
less important than adequate production. Couse·
quently it is our aim not only to teach the work
hahits necessary to production hut the soeial habits

HE Wilmot High School was built in 1835 on ground donated by Mr. Benham.
It consisted of one upstairs room and two rooms downstairs. In 1879 the school
was enlarged. In 1904 it became a common district high school and, in 1905, there
'vere ten graduates.
In 1922 a petition for a gymnasium was circulated~ and a
gymnasium was erected. A heating system for this was installed in 1924.
In 1912 parts of the townships of Salem, Randall, and Wheatland, were included
in the high school district. Two 1nore rooms were added in 1918, and a modern hot
air heating systen1 was installed.
On New Year's morning in 1933 the high school building was completely destroyed
by fire. The loss was deeply felt and classes had to be conducted in the gymnasium.
After some discussion it was finally decided to place the new building on the
same ground. Construction began in May, 1933, and the building was completed
in early fall. Landscaping and laying out of playgrounds and the at'lletic field took
place the folowing year.
In the fall of 1937 the Home Economics room was completed. In the fall of
1939 a new Agriculture room was built and also a public library was started by
the P. T.A.
The enrollment of the school has steadily increased to nearly two hundred
students. If the enrollment continues to increase it will soon be necessary to take
another step in enlarging the school.

The S E N I 0 R S Tell Their Story
GRADUATION, as it must to all seniors, has beckoned to the class of '40.
Four exciting years of school life will end soon, ami so we leave this brief
history of our school life ann goorl times.
The story begins on a bright fall day in 1936. About forty-five freshmen,
a little bewildered, enteretl the higher threshoM of learning at Wilmot High.
At our first election we chose Norma Schlax, high keeper of the Frosh. llarrly
Schmalfeldt played second fidrlle to her. Art Scott was elected secretary and
also given the keys to the treasury while Don Vander Zee was the student conn·
cil representative. Another highlight in this year was when Lorraine Robers
was elected queen of the Carnival.
The second year came; the Sophomore Class held another election. We
decreed Don Vander Zee, president. That mental luminary, Art Scott, presided
in the vice-presidency. Manette Runge wielded a wicked pencil while secretary
and Hardy Sclunalfeldt became student council representative. We were <JUite
busy putting on our minstrel which turned out to be a success.
The third year came up like a thunder-bolt, when again the students exercised their suffrage and sagaciously reelected Don Vander Zee. Hardy Schmal·
feldt became Vice-President. Norma Schlax carried every precinct and became secretary while Manette Runge ably represented us in the Sturlent Conn·
cil. We were quite busy for a while getting ready for our class play called
"Apron String Revolt." Everyone enjoyed it and declarer} it a success. Spring
soon rolled around and we began preparing for our prom. We finally decided
on a Hawaiian elfect and quite laboriously began making palm trees, monkeys
and leis.
The fourth year soon rolled around and again we held our election. Hardy
Schmalfeldt, a man with varierl abilities, became president. Art Scott, vicepresident, Dorothy Bergholz, secretary, and Lorraine Richards, student council
representative. We were very proud when Hardy Schmalfeldt was elected king
of the Carnival. After this, we dug in and began working on the annual and
also selected "Meet the Millionaire" to be our Senior Class play. We naturally
are quite busy now getting ready for class night and commencement which will

be soon.
Now that it is almost all over, we begin to look back on four years of study
ami social activities with pleasure, we wish we coulrl relive them again.

DoROTHY SMITH

oN September 7, 1937, there appeared at the Wilmot Union Free High School,
a group of somewhat bewildered young boys and girls. This group was
the present self-assured Junior Class.
The first opportunity for this group to assemble as one body was at its
first class meeting. From its ranks, the members chose Bob Elverman, Lloyd
Baysinger, and Evelyn Sarhacker officers to lead us, the present members, down
the somewhat obscure by-path of our year as "greenies."
The major event to take place in our lives as freshmen was initiation by
the Sophomores. As a whole our class stood up well under the taunts and jokes
of the upper classmen, taking "it" in good humor. Returning good for evil,
we gave a party for the Sophomores.
A goodly number of us were musically inclined, to Mr. Ende's delight, and
went out for the hand. Also we had members who made their bids in the field
of athletics to uphold the prestige of Wilmot High. Spring arrived before we
knew it bringing our first year at Wilmot to a close.
The following fall found our class once more hack on the trail with high
hopes and ambitions for the coming year. We were no longer green "freshies"
but were now mighty sophomores with a new group of freshmen to ridicule.
That year we elected Earl Richter, Elaine Vander Zee, Ardys Hegeman, all(l
Bill Davis as officers.
Instead of initiation we took pity on the Freshmen and gave a party for
them.
The first repl. chance our class had to work and cooperate together as a
body .was in the ~roduction of the minstrel which we gave in March. In the
.ticket <:ampaign, the- boys were pitted against the girls with the losing side
·giving piwty for the winning side. As the girls overwhelmed the boys in the
number of tickets sold, the boys were to give the party duly and legally held
in. tl'ie Coiiritf"Piil·k in May.
· · June soon ~oil!'d around bringing our sophomore year to a close.
::· . ... . ;•. The .summer v~·cation went swiftly and September came. We were now
:~. '•.t' · "·;~~niors ·a~d looked down on the lower classmen with a full measure of scorn.
,. In· the fall of 1939, we elected Bob Elverman, Johnnie Hefner, Herb Kol·
mos, and Dorothy Smith as our officers to nphold the prestige of the class in
the coming year.
Our class was now playing an important part in the functions of the school.
We were well representetl first on the athletic teams, music groups, and other
organizations.
One of the most important events of the year was the Junior Class Play.
The-play, "Relatives By .Affection," was given March 8th before a goodly crowd.
We' iiow turned our attention to the presentation of our assembly prob<ram.
Membe~s ~f onr class ha~ing talent offered their services for the common cause.
We are·'TIO'Iriouk:int- forward to the "prom" which we hope to make a
huge success.

THE following will concern the chronicles of the Sophomore Class of 1940:
In September, 1938, fifty unfamiliar "greenhorns'" known as Freshmen en·

Mr. Frank and Miss Berger were our faculty advisors. By j>Opular vote
Marge W ange was elected as class president; Evelyn Evans was elected vicepresident; Janet Fiesel was elected secretary-treasurer; and Arthur Carpenter
was chosen as student council representative. These officers proYed to he very
efficient in their class administration. The candidates for carnival king and
queen were Dick Robers and Edna Hansen. The Sophomores welcomed the
Freshmen with a dance, hut no initiation was hel<l.
When spring came, the class presented its assembly program. The pro·
gram was put over with a "bang" and we dare say it was the best assembly program given.
The year closed quietly and until September the Wilmot Union Free High
School was quiet again.
When September of 1939 arrived there were several missing from the ranks
of the present Sophomore Class, but there also were several new additions. At
the first class meeting, class officers were elected. Dick Robers was elected president; Edna Hansen, vice-president; Evelyn Evans, secretary-treasurer; and
Andy Anderson was elected student council representative. Mr. Duffy was to
be our class advisor. Andy Anderson and Marge W ange were elected as candidates for carnival king and queen.
Initiation for the newly arrived freshmen was held and on the evening
of the same day a dance was given in honor of the Freshmen.
The second task was putting on a show for the Carnival. Mr. Duffy worked
hard to make it a success and he was richly rewarder!.
The third and biggest task was to put on a minstrel. The class decided
to substitute a musical comedy called "Apoplexy for the Teacher" for the tra·
ditional minstrel. A committee of four students, Miss Dake and Miss Barnes,
and Mr. Ende worked out a very successful play.
When the Sophomore Class presented its assembly program, it J'epeated
its last year's triumph with a big success, a German hand farce-comedy.
The assembly program was the last big class undertaking for the Sopho·
mores. As we go to press the class is helping to put out this annual and after
that we will just wait for ol<l "Father Time" to convert us into juniors.

THERE was a great tumult ol). Sept~b!;r 5, 1939 in Wilmot High SchooL
It was the first day of school. Fifty:thr~e freshmen entered the school on
that day. We were very "green" and some of us were just a bit frightened.
After the first bell rang and all was quiet we heard those haflling rules and
Then there was registration
and we went to some of our classes. All through the day we listened with awe
to our new teachers and also to son1e very superior upper classnten.
re~ulations which we were to hear so ofte-n later.

But such was not to be our life for long. We elected Phyllis Taylor as class
president and .John Sokolski as secretary-treasurer. We also elected Lenard
Fischer as our representative to the student council. Our class members joined
B. A., G. A. A., The Future Farmers, and the Home Economics Club. Many
of them took p~rt in musical activities, including hand, girls' chorus and boys'
chorus.
At one of our first class meetings a sophomore class member cam¢.;with a
message. On a certain day we were to come to school dressed in queef',clothes
and prepared for the worst. It wall>: initiation! As the Freshmen were brave
fellows, they survived the day and by night were quite ready for the dance'
given in their honor. On February 16 we repaid the Sophomores with a dance
given in their honor.
~
When the time for the school carnival arrived, the Freshmen ga~J·~he~ir
wholehearted cooperation. Competition in selling tickets was keen, hut on
the night of the carnival we had the honor of having our candidate, Phyllis
Taylor, crowned queen of the carnival. Our candidate for king, _Frank Derlet·,
~erved as gentlenu1n in waiting. The carnivai'w,fls a real succ~~s.
Later in the year we welcomed four more freshmen to our class.
their help we put on a very successful assembly program.

With

And so, as we, "the Glass of '43" leave the Freshman class to become sophomores, we will always remember our freshman year as one of hard work, fine
achievements, and lots of fun.

When the season started, our chances did not look so good
inasmuch as there were only four lettermen back fron1 the
previous year. Under the coaching of Coach Frey and the
assistance of Coach Duffy, the squad quickly rounded up
into a good team. Our start was poor, for we lost our
first game and to make matters worse one of our regular
ends was put out for the rest of the season with an operation. However, in our next game we did what no Wilmot
High School team had done before, beat Mukwanago. We
played two games under lights. This was Wilmot's first
experience with night games. We thought it was a great
success.
The team will lose seven regular players by graduation:
Art Wellman, Warren Pohlman, Aaron Merten, Art Scott,
Don Vander Zee, Glen Hollister and Chet Boyington are
leaving.
At the start of the season of basketball there was a squad
of inexperienced players with only three lettermen from
the previous year. The team shaped up rapidly under
Coach Frey. The team was strong on defense but weak
on oft'ense. Although the scoring record of the tean1 was
not high, it played a clean game and was always considered a threat.
We look forward to a much better season next year because
it takes time to ,;et used to the style of ball coached and
the boys back for next year will be used to the style coached
by Manney Frey. So keep your attention on next years
fighting basketball team and we do not think you will be
disappointed.
We regret the losing of the four seniors on the team and
wish they were back next year. The seniors are Don Vando- Zee, Art Scott, Hardy Scbmalfeldt, and Glen Hollister.
The spring found us headed for another baseball championship under the direction of Coach Duffy. To start us off,
Skeets Oetting pitched a no-hit game against our traditional
rival, Waterford. We won the conference championship.
Our success was due to the competitive spirit of the players
and the good cooperation at all times, although the individual skill of some of the players helped us over the tough
spots.
Merlin Jahns, Ken Scbenning, Don Burmeister, and Charles
Goff are regulars who will not return next season. However, we have a goodly squad of players coming back and
we need not be weak in any position. We are hoping for
another championship next season.
Look! There is another W. What is a W? How do you
get one? What do they mean to person owning one?
A HW"' is the prize offered for athletic achievement and
anyone winning a letter. is eligible to joint the organization
honoring lettermen, the W Club. But the last question asked
is "What do they mean the wearer?" Well, to answer that
you will have to earn a letter yourself and be eligible for the
W Club to know the thrill and keen feeling of self-pride
which comes with the earning of a letter or W.

The band is of fifty-two pieces and is playing its first year
in Class C classification. Last year the band won a first
division award in concert and marching. It sight read in
a higher c1assification and won a second award.
Many solo and ensemble players entered the festival from
the band and fared very well last year. Many band members can proudly display a chestful of medals.
The band is proud of the new uniforms and is always trying
to improve the magnificent picture it presents when playing
and marching.
The band makes many appearances during the school year
at football and basketaball games, pep rallies, class plays,
the -:nnua] concert, and a trip to some school. (Custer,
April 5, 1940.)
·
The band has progressed very much the last few years. A
full compliment of instruments is the goal of our band and
money is being raised to get them and replace old, wornout
ones now in use.
The Concert Chorus is a group of people who have special
singing ability from the boys and girls choruses and also
a desire to do advanced work in concert singing for their
own enjoyment and for bettering the quality of vocal work
in the school and vicinity.
The chorus was organized in January of 1939 by popular
demand from students who wanted an advanced type of
singing over that which had been traditional in the school.
The enrollment was small but the spirit was great and that
was all that was necessary to get a basic chorus. Rehearsals
were scheduled for once a month but we worked in several
extra ~essions. That group won a second division award
at the music festival at Milton.
The enrollment in the chorus is now forty-eight or almost
twice that of last year. Again we are planning to enter the
music festival, but in the accompanied chorus classification.

The Girls Chorus is just a group of girls who wish to sing
for the fun of singing. Mr. Ende is the director. A main
function is to help the Boys Chorus put on an operetta in
the spring of the year.
At the beginning of the year it sang optional songs and
exercises. After Christmas it started working on the operetta. After this the group will study music theory.

The Boys Chorus is a group of boys singing for the fun
and enjoyment they get from singing. Their director is
Mr. Ende.
With the help of the Girls Chorus, they put on an operetta.
All may partake in this event sponsored to put some money
in the music treasury.
It has rehearsals once a week. Optional songs and exercises
are sung as part of the work. After the operetta the group
studies music theory as applied to singing.

JUDGING

JUDGING TEAM . . .

Part of the work of the department of agriculture is the
development of judging teams which compete in the state
contest in Madison. Various types and classes of farm
animals and agricultural products are included in the contest ,thereby providing a wide range of experience.
During the trip, time is provided to visit many places of
interest in Madison and attend a Big Ten football game.
Thus this trip proves to be a pleasing combination of business and pleasure. Many of the boys plan on making this
trip several times during their four years in school.

COMMERCIAL CLUB . . .

The Commercial Club was organized in 1929 for the purpose
of creating more interest in and furthering ability in commercial abilities. The club has always had a good membership and has always been very active, We are proud to
say that our club has usually more money on hand than
any other organization.
Our greatest accomplishment and perhaps the greatest source
of our money has been the sponsoring of the school paper.
An issue is presented each month. Besides all the very interesting articles in the paper as the editorials, class news 1
special articles, sports page, and the funny page, there is the
popular "Gossip Page." Our editor of the school paper this
year is Dorothy Bergholz.
The awarding of the typing pins each year is sponsored by
our club. Our most recent accomplishment is the purchase
of an adding machine to be used by all students.

The Future Farmers is a national organization with state
and local chapters. The members of our local chapter have
shown much enthusiasm in project work, pest eradication,
judging team work, and social events.
Each member of the organization has a farm practice program. This gives him an opportunity to put into practice
what he has learned in agriculture.
Every winter a pest eradication contest is conducted by the
F. F, A. Prizes for the winners are donated by business
men of the community.
We have one monthly meeting for business and one monthly
meeting for ~ducation and 1 ecreation.

Last year, the c1ub sponsm·ed a banquet for the county

The G. A. A. is an all girls club organized for the purpose
of furthering interest in athletics. All freshmen are invited to join the club and at the first social meeting are
initiated by the old members.
It has been a social, as well as an athletic club. The monthly
n1eetings have consisted of sleighrides, rollerskating, hiking,
swilnming and silnilar activities. Refreshments are usually
served and son1etimes we have dancing after that, if it is
not too late.
Members of the club may earn school letters by participation in athletic events of all types. We have a point
syste1n by which each event or activity in swimming or
skating is given so many points for as many hours of activity. When we have earned our required points we m·e
awarded a letter.
The Boys Athletic Association is open to all the boys in
the school who wish to be members. The objectives of
the group are: to provide a complete program of athletics
from the beginning of the school year to the end; to give
every boy an opportunity to participate in some form of
athletics. We sponsor these major sports: Football, Basketball, and Baseball, and help to develop a physical-education program. We have had a successful season; and
the plays as outlined for next year by Coach Frey provide:
The development of A and B squads in each sport, and a
more complete intramural program for those who are not
and do not wish to become members of such squads. Our
association stands for teams that fight to win, that play
clean, that live right, that know how to lose; but always
remember, they represent Wilmot High School.

a purpose.
In 1929 the Dranw.tics Club was organiz2d for the purpos::of furthering interest and ability in dramatics. Although
it has not stuck so very closely to its purpose, but has become more of a social affair, we have at each of our n1eetings some little procedure to try to improve our abilities
and knowledge of dramatics. Some of us are hesitant in
doing some things we are asked to do, but really it is fun.
Our biggest feature is the play we present each year at
the carnivaL They are usually quite a success, and we try
to have something different each year.
At our meetings, after the business and entertainment is
finished, we dance for a while and then are served refreshments. Apparently everyone enjoys our meetings and is
glad when the next one comes.

the group and six best twirlers will enter the
twirling contest at the music festival.
At present the twirlers do not have uniforms,
but it is hoped that six special drum-majorette outfits will be purchased.
The group has twirled at football and basketball games, and also for concerts.
It is hoped that the school will see more of
this worthy group in the future.

The newest organization in the high school campus is the
French Club of about fifteen members. ft was established
through the enthusiasm of a group of girls in school and
through the wiling help of Miss Thomas.
The purpose is to learn to speak French. They have arranged to correspond with girls in France. The letters we
receive are written in French, and the fun is trying to
translate them.
The club is new and has a very good start: In the coming
years we hope to become a large group and really know
our French.

DANCING CLASS
In October of 1939, Miss Bessie Barnes began
her work as a dancing instructor at Wilmot.
Miss Barnes teaches many types of dancing
and as her work is popular many of us have
learned new steps, and the Freshmen have
been privileged to learn how to dance before
they become seniors! In order that all might
put to use their know ledge of dancing, Miss
Barnes has sponsored a number of dances in
the school gym. To one of the dances the

whole school was invited and another time
the Dramatics Club was invited. We were
privileged to have Ross Whitmire, of Montana,
who taught us how to square dance.
The dancing class has been represented in the
junior and freshman assembly programs and
also played a big part in the Operetta. All
in all the class has been successful and we
are sure it will continue to be.

CHEER

BATON TWIRLERS
A new active group in school is the Baton
Twirling Club of eighteen members, who are
really artists of dizzy fingers as they gyrate
their silver sticks in beauteous formations and
tricky, complicated stunts. The twirling club
was organized in September, 1939, by Mr.
Ende, and has practiced Thursday after school.
The group is a spectacular group and adds to
any program in which it appears.
A drum-major for the band is chosen from

CHEER

LEADERS

At the beginning of the year a large number
came out for cheerleading. They were drilled
for each game. They all would cheer at the
games but a few each time would put on a
pep meeting.
This pep meeting was held before each home
game to arouse some school spirit. The cheerleaders always arranged it.
This year, some of the cheerleaders received
uniforms. Each class elected two cheerleaders. Both senior and junior cheerleaders received uniforms but only one sophomore
cheerleader received a uniform. The fresh-

men were just drilled for the following year.
Each cheerleader made her own uniform. It
was made of red wool flannel, lined with
white. The uniforms are similar to skating
outfits.
The uniforms gave the cheerleaders more
confidence for cheering. Every cheerleader
has an atiractive uniform to work for from
now on.
A letter is given for cheerleading. This year
the cheerleaders have worked very hard to
reach their goal. They hope to continue.

Our pdncipal, ML Schnurr, is known throughout the country and surrounding communities for his work in education and vocational agriculture;
in the lattel' field his jnftuence has spread, also, into various parts of the
state. He has been at the head cf our school for the past twelve years, and
during this time he has developed it into one of the finest High Schools of
its size in the state.
The fact that Mr. Schnurr has always had at heart the welfare of us
students, and has been largely responsible not only for our material comforts and advantages, but, also, for much of our character development. He
is never so busy but what he takes time to talk with us about our problems
and help us solve them.
Some of the most pleasant memories which we shall have of Olll' high
school days will be those associated with our personal contacts with Mr.
Schnurr.

No citizen can render a public duty
more vital to the community than
through serving as a me1nber of the
board of education. The comn1unity,
being an integral part of the nation,
it follows, too, that the service rendered to a locality means a contribution to the welfare and stability of
the country as a whole. The one great
compensation which comes to a school
board member n1ust be found in the
consciousness that he makes a contribution to his time and generation.
And thus, quietly and efficiently,
these men are rendering a public
service of the greatest value, guided
by the sincere desil·e to provide the
best educational opportunity to the
youth of the con1munity.

HAT which makes the difference between one
T man
and another, between the weak and the
powerful, the great and the insignificant--is energy, invincible determination, intelligence, capacity,
and understanding. The man who is successful is
the man who is usefuL
Such a man is Mr. Frank. The students of Wilmot High School are deeply grateful for having had
the opportunity to know this man of many virtues
and gratefully dedicate this Echo of 1941 to him.

WE SALUTE

This annual, like all other annuals, attempts to
depict the workings of a school. We hope that as
you thumb through the pages rou will want to become more thoroughly acquainted with the school,
and that this brief introduction will lead to more
intimate contacts. ~r e hope that grade school youngsters will find some challenge in the high school
story. \Ve hope that parents will find some satisfaction in knowing that school still calmly goe8 on
having faith in the future even though the world
echoes "New Order."
The Echool, as a corner stone of civilization, will
go on .providing opportunity to learn, opportunity to
think, opportunity to do. Politicians will always
create emergencies, but through it all the school will
survive and the light of learning will lead the way.

THE S~NIORS
Speak ~ !, <Jkwt ~~ .at 'k/dmoi

On September seventh, 1907, there flocked into the wide portals of Wilmot Union Free High School a group of 45 shy
"freshies"-therc to begin four years of intensive intellectual
preparation for the years which still lie ahead of the class of
'41. To give us a good boost along our way we elected Robert
Elverman, Lloyd Baysinger, Evelyn Sarbacker, and Dick Schenning- to guide us through the first difficult year. Mr. Ende and
Miss Dake served a~ class advisors. One of our cherished menlories of the first year is that of initiation. in which we as un·~
sophisticated .,freshies" found ourselves in the clutches of a
heavy handed sophomore class. To show the quality of our
spirit we gave our sophomore oppressors a party.
The dawn of our sophomore year saw 50 members enrolled
in our class. Earl Richter) Elaine Van Der Zee, Ardys Hegeman,
and Bill Davis were selected as our executive staff. Remembering our sore spots from the year before we reversed the procedure of 1937 and gave the freshics a party instead of an initiation. The sophomore minstrel was our outstanding artistic
production. June made its debut and ou1· happy sophomore year
ended with a sig·h.
The fall of '3D found our numbers increased by three. It
vvas ou1· junior year and our hopes reached a higher tilt as we
regarded the lo\ver classmen. To prove our elass we elected

Bob Elverrnan, Johnnie Hefner, Herby Kolmos, and Dorothy
Smith to our executive positions. This year was marked by the
selection of class rings and setting of new standards of excellence in organizational and athletic activibes" In the spring
field day we won the right to have 1941 carved on the cup. The
spring was also marked by the successful production of Relatives by Affection and the prom, set to the sc9ne of 'Vinter
Wonderland.
The fall found us back as cocks-of-the-walk. The final
grind was started. To guide us on our last and most difficult
yeai· we selected Ray Ne,vbury, Ken Jeffds, Elaine Van Der Zee,
and Harry Swenson as office1·s. Class meetings assumed a new
and more business like tone with Mr. Schnurr as pilot. It was
the year to present our profiles to the photographer. Christmas
proved a suitable time to dispose of our photos to relatives and
friends. The annual production of the HEcho') was undertaken
by an agg1·essive staff. Work started and continues unabated at
this Wl'iting. The class has begun work on our senior play, the
comedy Foot Loose, which will undoubtedly reach a new peak in
artistic excellence. Senior athletes, musicians and all dry a tear
as our days of triumph and despair are drawing to a close at
Wilmot High. We have many ren1iniscences of the grand times
experienced tog·ether within the walls of our alma mater. Farewell, Wilmot; memories of you shall forever be cherished.

About fifty-five gay, gallant, and good-looking Sophomores entered the doors of their beloved school in
September, 1940.
Their first official act as Sophomores was initiation
of those "green" Freshmen. They took it good-naturedly
and we all had fun. Following initiation was a dance
that night in their honor.
Then came carnival time! Harriet Sakalowski and
Lennard Fischer were selected as our representatives for
king and queen. We worked very h:ird and our efforts
were rewarded by having both king and queen crowned.
Before we knew it, it was time to put on either a minstrel or musical. The class decided on a musical and so
a committee of five assisted by Miss Dake and Miss
Barnes worked out a very effective group of vaudeville
acts.
·
Soon it will be time for our assembly program and
we all have a feeling it will be the best one given. And
from that time we will be looking forward to walking out
of the school doors on the last day of school-as Juniors.

On September third, 1940, the Freshmen began
their pursuit of higher education. We were initiated
and repaid the Sophomores in February with a party
given in their honor. Later in the ye.ar we welcomed
two more Fteshmen into our class. ·A noon dancing
class was organized under the supervision of Miss
Barnes. Now the Freshman class is eagerly looking
forward to becoming the Sophomore class.

Wilmot won a conference co-championship this season. The
team was a hard fighting, aggressive €Ieven who, except for the
Mukwonago game, showed drive and spirit in its championship
bid. It crowned its season by drubbing a McHenry eleven severely
in the homecoming game.

BASKETBALL
This year's team developed rapidly, for it had had experience
in Coach Frey's system of play. The squad had a reasonably successful season, although the hope of a co-championship went glimmering because of the loss of the last two conference games. Wilmot showed unusual strength against conference leaders, but fell
before weaker teams.
At the Walworth tournament they wer·:o turned back by Williams Bay, but came through on the second night to beat Waterford
in two overtime periods. Union Grove defeated them in the consolation play-off.
The squad loses Pepper, Fait, Kolmos, Hefner, Reyer, and
Swenson.

Mannie Frey's coaching and hard team work, slid into home plate
standing on their feet with the Southeastern Conference Championship. This is the third consecutive season that Wilmot has captured

B. A. A.

The B. A. A. is a group comprised of boys interested in athletics. The Boys' Athletic Association sponsors three major sports;
namely, football, basketball, and baseball, offering a complete
athletic program. Physical education classes conducted under the
i.nstructing eye of Coach Frey provide healthful fun and exercise.
The main purpose of the B. A. A. is to build up the body as well as
the mind by combat on the field of sports. Intramural groups give
splendid opportunities for those not engaging in sports representing Wilmot in conference combat.

G. A. A. meetings are held once a month, and one night a week
we form basketball teams, during the basketball season, to play in
the gym. Each year we also have a between-class basketball tournament, during which a great deal of rivalry is shown.
Club members may also earn pins or letters by participating
in a number of sports, gaining points for each sport. At the close of
the year, if a certain amount of points are obtained, the girls are
presented their awards.

A CAPPELLA
The A Cappella or Concert Chorus is a group of boys and girls
who are interested in part singing. One must prove his ability before he can become a member. The chorus was organized in 1939
with a large enrollment, but as the work this year has advanced to
a higher level, the entrance requirements have also advanced and
the result has been an even more select group. Last year the group
won first place at the tournament, and the group made the trip to
Fort Atkinson this year, where the tournament was held in ApriL

The Commercial Club originated in 1929, with the thought in
mind of creating interest and aiding in commercial abilities. The
club has always had good membership and has always been active.
Our greatest accomplishment is the school paper and it is our
greatest source of income. Our paper consists of editorials, class
news, special articles, sports, humor, and the "gossip page." We
issue one paper each month. Our editor this year is Eleanore
Forster.
We also sponsor the awarding of typing pins each year.

The Future Farmers organization is a national organization
which was organized to benefit farm youth by training them to become better farmers. All members of this organization are required to carry some farm project. They may make a little profit
on their project, besides getting valuable experience.

Members of the department of agriculture are entitled to join
the judging team. They form different teams to judge various types
and classes of livestock and agricultural products. We go to Madison on our judging trip and take in a Wisconsin Big Ten football
game while there. We have quite a bit of fun as well as gaining
valuable experience in the judging of farm livestock and produce.

CHEERLEADING CLUB
A school has to have Cheer Leaders in order to hold pep meetings to create enthusiasm and school spirit. Consequently, we have
organized a Cheerleading Club in which two from each class can
participate.

The Assembly

In 1940 the Cheer Leaders received snappy red wool flannel
uniforms inner-lined with white.
If a Cheer Leader works hard and reaches this goal, he is
awarded with a Win his Senior Year.

Eleanore Forster and Dorothy Smith have been our Senior
leaders; all Cheer Leaders have done -good work and we are proud
of them.

local clubs and P. T. A. groups, including a home talent show held
at the Wilmot gym.
At the present writing a dancing party for members of the
class is being planned for the latter part of April.

It is nearly time to close our little book ; how-

ever, we hope that you, our readers, will appreciate,
as we do, the co-operation of those who have made
the publication of the 1941 Echo possible.
We could not publish our book without the cooperation of those who are our patrons. Their loyal
support is appreciated, not only by our staff, we
know, but also by the entire school community.

Eight score and six years ago, our fathers
brought forth on this continent a new nation,
conceived in liberty, and dedi.cated to the propcoition that all men are created equal. Now we
are engaged in a great world war testing
whether that nation, or any nation so conceived
and so dedicated, can long endure. We are
drawn together in a common effort. We have
come to dedicate this book to that spirit of liberty which has prompted our boys to join in the
great task of preserving freedom. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
Ou1· brave boys, struggling there, are expressing
this spirit far above our present power to add
or detract. The world will little note nor long
remember what is written here, but it can never
forget what they are doing there.

We hold these truths to be self-evident: That
all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable
rights; that among these are l.ife, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these
rights, education has been instituted among
men, deriving its just power from the effectiveness of its work; that, whenever any method of
education becomes destructive of these ends, it
is the right of the people to alter or to abolish
it, and to institute a new organization, laying its

The Girls Athletic Association is
composed of a group of girls interested in athletics, who are organized to stimulate, among other girls,
an interest in sports.
G. A. A. meetings are ordinarily
held once each month. During basketball season meetings are also
held after school once a week. The
group is divided into teams and a
series of games are run off.
By participating in various sports,
both in rchool and out, members of
this club can earn points to get letters and pins. Then, at the end of
the year, the girls who have made
sufficient points receive awards.
WCLUB
Each year the boys who show
their athletic ability and play in
football and basketball receive
"W's." These letters are highly regarded and appreciated by the boys
who earn them. A "W" can also
be received after playing a certain
number of innings of basebalL
The "W" Club is open to boys
who have received a school letter.
Election to it is a high athletic
honor.
B. A. A.
The B. A. A. is one of the largest
organizations in the schooL It is
composed of athletically-minded
boys who are interested in football,
basketball, or basebalL Intramural
sports as well as competitive sports
in the Southeastern Wisconsin Conference provide exercise and fun
for all boys in the organization.
Gym classes also furnish recreation
for boys not active in the organized
sports.

bodies to respond with originality and discipline
in order that when the time comes for them to
assume the burden of the unfinished work which
they who are on the battlefronts of life are now
so nobly advancing that they will be able to
bear forward this great work

held the Southeastern Wisconsin
Conference championship, sharing
that champiouship but once. Mr.

Last year we lost several of our
best players from our football team,
but because of the inspiring leadership of former Coach Frey, we finished the season having lost two,
won two, and tied one.
On January 12, we elected Mickey Robers, our hard blocking back.
to be Captain. We are looking fo~­
ward to next fall, when we hope to
come out with honors for Wilmot
High.

This year's Wilmot team was one
of the youngest in the conference.
It was made up of two Freshmen
four Sophomores. three Juniors.
and only one Senior. The tean1
looked better against strong teams
than weaker teams. Of the games
lost, most of them were by a few
points. Our coach, Mr. Frey, left
us toward the end of the year, but
Mr. Schnurr did an excellent job in
handling the team for the remainder of the year.
With all the other teams being
hit hard by graduation, Wilmot will
be a favorite to capture the title in
the coming year"

Fully conscious of the responsibilities which the
democratic way of life imposes upon its mem··
hers, the youth of America is preparing to defend the legacy of those who have gone before.
American schools are filled with youth clamoring for action and eagerly seeking sound
leadership in the grim days which lie ahead.
American society is proud of its youth. It is
proud of their bodies developed through work
and play, of their minds developed through
tough verbal combat one with the other, and,
above all, it is proud of their spirit universally
expressing faith in the-ir own ability to achieve
peace on earth and universal good will among

men.

Diligent application and creative thought give
insight into and devotion for the democratic
processes which create a vast gulf between the
fullness of the democratic way of life and the
spiritual vacuum characteristic of totalitarianism. Only in these terms can be understood the
inspired and courageous stand of MacArthur.
Wilmot is proud to have one of its graduates
among his men.

AJe~

~SENIORS

Never before has life been so challenging; not
in all human history has there been more call for
energy, for d>'namism, for all those qualities which
make American youth the great hope that mankind
will extricate itself from the muck of its own stupidity. The call to service and to duty has never been
stronger than it is in this year called 1942,
Already four of our number have gone forth to
meet the cha !lenge of manly duty in the service of
our country and its way of lifeo These boys typify
the spirit of courage and forthrightness which are
the hope of Arnerica in this year of crisis, Society
is eagerly calling for all of us to assume places of
dignity and responsibility among our fello\vs in
order that we can stand \Vith our elders supplying
the energy, the determination, and the sincerit?
which they have lacked in their efforts to cope with
the problems of the modern world,

THJI:'I'Y··FOI'H

Our world is a world of change. ¥lilmot ha,,
made us aware of the constanc~r of change. Our success will depend upon our ability to feel out the
undertows, the cros,c;:-currents. and the rapids of the
maelstrom and collectively to guide them into a
mighty stream which \viii \Vash away the present
era of march and counter-n1archo
Our sanity. our power to think to the heart of
the problems of a disordered world and a disunited
mankind, and our imagination are the tools with
which we shall do the job lying before us as )'otmg
Americans. When these pages have yellowed \vith
age, we believe that we, acting \Vith millions of other
young Americans, shall have carried mankind to a
higher plane and that we shall look with pride upon
our years spent at Wilmot as we!J,springs of enthusiasm and hope which shall not have failed.

Newspaper Article (1962)
Last night the class of '42, graduates of Wilmot High School,
had a reunion in the new, modern gymnasium on the campus of
Wilmot Union Free High. It was a highly festive occasion and
nearly everyone of the "Class of '43" was present. The ceremonies
included a banquet, several speeches, and a shin-cracking session.
Leroy Anderson, kno\\rn as the famous demonstrator on "How
to Wiggle Your Ears in Six Easy Lessons," was the toastmaster.
Ann Gillmore~ better known as One-VVay Gillmore, who never
strikes twice in the same place, read the report of the last meeting.

The sales:men and .sale.swon1en of the class ·were trying to sell
their products to other members of the class. Shirley Axtell wac;
trying to interest the cla.ss in buying springs for spring chickens.
Bob Robinson sold quite a few Fuller brushes. Letty Church was
an excellent advertiser for her \Vater from the "Fountain of Laughter." Patsy Boyington tried to interest the ·women in her "Spinster
Haven." Connie Merten asked everyone to donate some money to
help take care of her homeless fleas. Everyone decided to buy one
of Lorraine Hollencamp's one--..:~:ay ticket--one way to lVIars. Tom
Appel demonstrated his Little Daisy steam rollers but they couldn't
excel Ray Vogel's hinges for false teeth and "Built-in" nut crackers. John Elsey saw a firefly and he insisted that he should equip
it with a fire alarm and extingui8her. Juanita Young is really quit.;~
a model for that new dimple cream which she sold a lot of. Number One Playhoy Maleski made quite a display when he entered
with a debutante on each arm. The only man to have seen Yehudi,
Dick Robers, told his classmates what he looked like.
The entertainn1ent vvas very well received. Penny Serenader,
Vincent, who is now pla;ving in 'Times Square, was first.
Frank
Sheahan showed the fundamental steps in ballet dancing. Lor-

FOR~S~E

raine Roanhaus is the girl who appears regularly on Bob Hope's
program. Helen Schenk and Rose Mary Sarbacker (Crenda and
Bobina to you) have a very funny skit. Oetting, a famous chemist)
explained how -tO get butter out of butterflies, his newest discovery.
Doris Neumann is now singing with Joe Kyser)s two-piece
band at 4:30 every morning except Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and sang \IS a song.
Bob Walker demonstrated his technique for winning the transcontinental tricycle race.
Jo Van Slochteren was next on the program. She gave
some advice to the lovelorn. The program was interrupted at this
point because of Lyle Nelson. He delivered one of his singing telegrams to the toastmaster. As the last number on the program Ev
Evans gave an Orphan Annie skit. Betty Stoxen, who usually
cooks for Iitsy Bitsy Dog Biscuits, served a very pleasing lunch.
Throughout the program and sales talks, Ethel Joerndt took
notes for the newspaper. She holds the record for being the shortest shorthand writer in the world. Ray Hirschmiller anived late
with his pet, a lion, which he captured at Brookfield Zoo. Lucille
Scott and Catherine Schei1ning vvere unable to Pe present because
they were afraid that during their absence the nightingales, which
they feed in Berkley Square, would starve. Ed. Retzinger could
not get permission to leave his \York of digging graves on Devil's
Island, and Ruth Elfers felt that she couldn't afford to leave her
cotton picking in Georgia. Marie Richter and Doris Sarbacker
were out on a special case-they are at present nurses under the
guidance of Dr. Pepper. Schwartz and Wilde are still in the Air
Corps and Marines and could not get leave of absence. Everyone
had to leave the reunion at nine because Gloria Peterson rolled up
the sidewalks of Wilmot and put out the lights.

The Junior Class organized in
September, 1941. By hook, crook,
and dint of hard lab01, we managed
bJ bring laurels to Velma Richards,
and George Fait, our candidates for
carnival king and queen.
Selection of class ringR \VaS one
of the thrills of the year.
In March we gave "Anne of
Green Gables," which was a great
success. We wish to thar:k Miss
Winans for her hard work in putting it over.
For our Junior finale, we are giving the Prom on May 22. Next year
we plan to be Seniors and will look
back on the first three years of high
school with happy remembrances.

Everyone of our forty-three members welcomed the beginning of
school this September. We all felt
capable of taking on the rel:'lponsibilities of Sophomores.
Our ftrst responsibility being the
Freshmen, we initiated them soon
after school opened. How we enjoyed it, but they were good sports
about the whole thing.
In December we presented our
Sophomore show under the direction of Miss Dake. It was the combination of a play and specialty
acts which brought out some surprising hidden talent in our classmen.
As this school year draws to an
end we will be ready to take up our
duties as the new Junior class of
1943.

September second, 1941, was a
big da~r for the newcomer;:, in WiJ!YIOt High School. This was the first
day of high school.
Fifty-nine
Freshmen started down the path tu
knowledge. We heard the regula·~
tions that day and we saw our
teach~:rs in classes for the first time.
At our first class meeting, officers
were elected and we heard of a
dreadful day coming. It was initiation, September 26th! We had fun
that day and at night we attended
the dance given in our honor. Later,
in March, we repaid the Sophomores with a dance.
When camival time came the
Freshmen co-operated in the competition of selling tickets. On the
final night our candidates served as
lady and gentleman in waiting.
And so we, as "the Class of ' 145, p
hope to come back next year and
become Sophomores.

SCHOOL HISTORY reveals development
of student government

In the years to come, when our clays spent at Union Free High
School have faded into the past, it will be possible for us to reopen thiB
book and read once again of our school. For this reason \Ve deem it
fitting to preserve that memory by writing of its history,
The village first thought of building a school on this site in 1835,
when Mr. Benham donated the ground to the village for use as a park
and schoolgrouncl, A school was badly needed and through sacrifices
on the part of the people, a building consisting of three rooms was built
and later enlarged to cope with the problem of a greater enrollment,

~

In 19,04, the school became a public high school and in 1905 the
first class of ten members was graduated,

on! The gymnasium was converted temporarily into class rooms and
life resumed as near to normal as possible.
After consideration of various plans relative to the construction of

During the school histms, student government has developed by
degrees, In 1931, Mr. Schnurr organized the Student Council, composed of students from the different classes and one member elected
from each officially recognized club, to present and discuss pi'Oblems of
the students from their viewpoint. Today the Council meets regularly

We began our careers as Juniors by
registering. We entered our classes and
soon became accustomed to the new routine which was so different from the three
month vacation we had just enjoyed. Then,
just as everything was running smoothly,
along came six weeks tests and with them,
report cards. Even when you're a Junior
and have been through it many times before, the first exams of the year seem just
a little frightening. However, we pulled
through with a minimum of casualties and
proceeded on our way.
In the meantime, we had selected the
class officers who, with the aid of our excellent advisor, Miss Kolar, were to guide
us through the year. Mickey Robers became president; Pat McCarthy, vice president; Marvin Richter, secretary and treasurer, and Arlene Sheen, Student Council.

Junior (or-Freshman, Sophomore, or Senior, either) can forget those exams. We
spent many an anxious hour worrying
aboiit how hard the exams would be and
just what the report cards would look like:
But when it was all over, we decided it
really wasn't so bad after all.
With the new semester came our new
physical education program-5 hours a
week for the boys and 4 for the girls, of
vigorous exercise. At first our muscles objected to the unaccustomed strain imposed
on them, but soon the daily exercise became a routine matter and discomfort was
a thing of the past.
About the same time, Nick Engler, the
Crowell magazine man, carne along with
his sales slips and class quotas to be filled.
The Juniors got to work and won the magazine sales contest for the third consecvtive
year. Those victories on the magazine sales
contest have been quite a feather in our
caps and we hope to keep up the good
work.
Soon spring arrived and brought spring
fever with it. But we overcame our lethargy long enough to put on our class play,
"Ever Since Eve." It was a great success,
and we all know that we owe much of that
success to Miss Winans, who directed the
play.

Soon Carnival time rolled around, so we
got busy selling tickets. Our candidates for
Carnival King and Carnival Queen were
nominated. The candidate for king was
Eugene Robers, while Pat McCarthy was
the candidate for queen. Despite our failure to elect them king and queen, we all
worked hard to get votes for them. We
also put on the class entertainment for the
Carnival. This year we decided on a Gay
Nineties Review and we were assisted by
Miss Weiler. The review was complete
with songs and costumes of the Gay Nineties and a "bicycle built for two."

Now we are looking forward to the
Junio1· Prom, which we hope to be able to
have in spite of wartime restrictions.
Then the final exams will come, and
after them, another three months of vacation. When we go back to school next fall,
we'll all be full fledged Seniors, but we'll
remember our days as Juniors as very
happy ones.

Along about the middle of the year
came the semester exams. Certainly no

IN

September, 1942, a regiment of sophomores entered the portals of Wilmot High
School. We were earnest and our aim was
to get the most out of our education. With
all the rationing and tire shortages, time•
are rather tough, but that didn't stop us.
We could hear that call-Attention! Right
Face! Forward! March! So, with heads
high and hearts free, we entered school for
a second year of training-a more difficult
training, at that.

of our students. Singing and dancing were
added to the colorful attraction of the
Ehow. It was under the direction of Miss
Piper.
During the year many of our girls
joined the G. A. A. and most of the boys
took part in the many active sports. We
were also represented in the several music
activities, Dramatics Club, B. A. A., and
Cemmercial Club. The class basketball
games went on as scheduled in March. Our
girls' team didn't come out on top, but they
tried their best. And we must give credit
to the boys' team, too. In their first game
they were defeated, but the second game
proved them the winner, which gave them
third place. They're a sporting company
and next year they hope to come in the
lead.
Everyone has been undergoing training and it seems as though there is stiffness
in the ranks. The new physical fitness
program may have caused this; but there
was no groaning and we all survived. (As
you can see!)
Everything has gone smoothly throughout the year. There has been a loss of two
men from the regiment but the rest of us
are carrying on. We hope to be back next
year with flying colors and undertake another year of traini,ng as Juniors.

Our first maneuver was "Registration
Day." And that was some day. It was
found that we had 47 students in the regiment-no more and no less. We were no
longer "green." (In fact, we turned "blue"
with the thought of having three more
years of strenuous training left!) But our
test as freshmen was passed 100 •;;, and we
proudly took the title of spohomores.
Under the aid and command of our
advisor, Miss Dake, our class has been ably
guided. In the fall, when Carnival time
came, we chose our Hedy Lamarr and Robert Taylor as candidates for king and
queen. They were Marge Epping and Jack
Berry. We took a whole-hearted part in
the Carnival and managed to do quite well.
For our carnival show we put on the smash
hit, "Basin Street," with the co-operation

Several Freshmen went out for band

In General Science class we have studied a branch of the army air corps. We
made model airplanes for recruits to study
in different parts of the country. We only
hope that this will help bring about a
speedier victory for the United States. This
same class made miniature model homeR

We started a. new club called the "Stu ..

the aim of this club to make more model

boys from Muwonago completed a good
percentage of their-s. These passes proved
to be the turning point in the game. Wilmot scored on the third play of the game,
but Mukwonago made up this deficit and
continued until the final gun sounded.
The game between Rochester and Wilmot proved to be one of the best battles
ever staged on Wilmot's gridiron. Each
member of the team played with all the
vim and vigor he possessed. The line play
of such stars as DeBell, Roanhaus, Mitchell,
Shwhan was noticed by everyone who attended the game. Each team scored one
touchdown, but the most i.mportant play of
the game was the successful point after
touchdown kick by center Dick Schmidt.
Rochester scored their lone touchdown in
the final minutes of play, but the strong

line play of Wilmot prevented their try for
the extra point.
·
T,he season ended in a blaze of glory
with "Wilmot defeating a tough eleven from
Walworth by the score of 6-0. Wilmot was
deprived of a touchdown in the second
quarter when the officials didn't allow a
touchdown made by Captain Mickey
Robers, who ran 70 yards after intercepting
a Walworth pass. Several times during the
game Wilmot stopped Walworth from
scoring by holding them on their one and
two yard lines. This game completed one of
Wilmot's most successful seasons.
The team loses the following stars by
graduation. Al DeBell, Bob Sheahan,
George Fait, Irv Wilson, Jim Mitchell,
Frank Anderson, and Willard Bryant.
Marv Richter, triple-threat halfback, has
been elected to captain next year's team.

Football for Physical Fitness
APPROXIMATELY twenty-five men answered the call of our new coach, Mr.
Frank, for football candidates. Many veterans from last year's team returned to tht•
practice field, accompanied by newcomerc,
who came out to try to earn the coveted
"W ." This year's squad was under the
capable leadership of Mickey Robers, who
was selected to captain this year's team by
last year's lettermen. After four weeks of
hard, strenuous practice the team \vas in
excellent shape to take on their first opponents, East Troy.
East Troy was able to hold Wilmot
scoreless in the first half, while chalking up
six points for themselves. During the half,
Coach Frank gave the boys a pep talk that
added that certain something that brought
them their only touchdown of the game.
East Troy then forged ahead again on a
line plunge from the 3 yard line. This second score was sufficient to win the game by

a 12 to 6 margin. The game was filled with
0xcitement and thrills up until the final gun
sounded.
Our next conference game was with
Waterford. The Wilmot boys did not get
rolling until after the first half was completed. The second half was filled with
much excitement as Wilmot hung up three
touchdowns in rapid succession. The superb
lin£ play of our boys held the Green and
White clad team scoreless and enabled our
backfield men to make many sizeable
gains. Dutch Haase, "Tud" Burmeister,
Mickey Robers. and Marv Richter again
proved to be the main offensive threats
during the entire game. The final score
was Wi.lmot 18, Waterford 0.
The third game of the season was
played against a powerful team from Mukwonago. It was a nip and tuck battle from
start to finish, with the score ending in a
19-19 deadlock. Wilmot's passing attack

Wilmot 51-East Troy 15
One of the highest scoring contests of the 1942~
43 season was in the East Troy game. The passing
and team~work was beginning to improve rapidly.
Captain Fischer led the Wilmot scoring with 21
points while Richards co~starred with 14.
Wilmot 27-Rochester 25
The second round found Wilmot keeping their
victory stl'ing intact. Their first victims were the
Aggies from Rochester. The game was a close one
from start to finish, but the Red and White cagers
never lost the lead they built up in the early stages
of the game.
Wilmot •lO-Mukwonago 30
The next assignment for the Wilmot boys was
to take on Mukwonago. The offensive power of the
team was great during the first part of the game,
with Wilmot scoring 21 points in the first quarter.
Wilmot 37-Waterford 27
Wilmot avenged an earlier defeat at the hands
of Waterford by topping them when they played here
in the return game. The Wilmot cagers made 13
out of 14 of their free throws. This consistency and
fine defensive work gave Wilmot the lead.
Wilmot 45-Norris Farm 36
Wilmot traveled to Norris Farm for their next
D. Allen

encounter. The lead exchanged hands many times
throuA·hout the contest, but a scoring spell in the last
few seconds of play enabled the ·boys to come out on
the Ion~ end of the score.
Wilmot 40-Union Grove 24
Homecoming at Wilmot was a huge success this
year. The sharpshooting of the team and the fine
defensive wo1·k displayed gave the crowd a real thrill.
This victory was the eleventh straight for the eage1·s.
Wilmot 48-East Troy 24
The final game of the regular season was played
at East Troy. It was necessary to win the game to
take possession of the championship. East Troy put
up a hard fight, but it was not enough to knock us
out of a championship.
Tourney Facts
Witmot won the opening contest by defeating
Walworth 27~20, but lost in the finals, in an overtime,
to Rochester by a score of 32-28.
Wilmot ended their most successful season in
the history of the school, books showing that they
had won 17 games in 19 attempts.
This year's team suffers the loss of Captain Len
FiScher, George Fait, regular guard, Dick Allen and
Ken Hackbarth, substitute forwards. Don Richa1·ds
is to captain next year's team, which hopes to fill
the positions left by the graduating Seniors.

Basketball Team Cops Championship
After an interval of ten years Wilmot again produced a champion basketball team.
Under the guidance of Coach Frank, the team progressed until they were considered the
team that would take the conference championship.
After winning three non-conference games, we played the following conference
game.s:
ruling deprived Wilmot of a win and also of a clear
conference record.

Wilmot 33--Rochester 30
Ac.cu1·acy from the free throw line provided the
margin of victory for the Red and White over a
strong Rochester quintet.. This game was one of the
season's outstanding games. Marvin Richter, star
Junior f01·ward, led the Wilmot attack with 14 points.

Wilmot 36-Norris Farm 25
After the loss to Waterford the boys played
Non-is Farm. The boys from the foundation put up
a good fight but were not equal to the cagers from
Wilmot.

·wilmot 29-M ukwonago 21
Our first home game was played against Muk~
wonago. The team seemed to be working more as a
unit for this game, and at the final whistle, Wilmot
was found on the long end of the score.

Wilmot 39-Union Groye 25
A first half scoring splurge proved to ,be the
margin of victory over a stJ.·ong quintet from Union
Grove. Our offensive power slackened in the second
half, but the wide margin obtained in the first half
proved to be sufficient to win the fourth consecutive
victory of the year. Richards and Richter were the
main scoring cogs in Wilmot's offense. Ri~hards
scored 10 points while Richter had 16 to his credit.

Wilmot IS-Waterford 19
The only loss suffered by our team this year was
at the hands of Waterford. A last basket by Fischer
was nullified when the officials ruled traveling. This

Baseball Champs for 1942
THE Wilmot High School baseball team
emerged from the 1942 season with another championship chalked up for them. By
winning the confe1·ence championship this
season the boys made it eleven consecutive
seasons in which they have won the championship, sharing it only once during these
years. This year's team was. under the
capable leadership of Principal Schnurr,
who capably filled the place of Mannie
Frey, our former coach, who left for the
navy. Mr. Schnurr proved his ability as
manager and coach of the team of
champs.
.
The team was composed of many veteram; from last year's championship team
and was greatly bolstered by some first
class newcomers. Some of the veterans
from last year's team were: Andy Anderson, second base; Dick Robers, left field;
Len Fischer, third base; Mickey Robers,
catcher; Norm Schwartz, pitcher; Pete
Wilde, catcher, and Don Richurds, pitcher.
Some of the newcomers who proved their

merit were: Dutch Haase, Marv. Richter,
AI DeBell, and Gaylord Maleski.
The team produced here at Wilmot this
year was probably one of the drongest ever
formed by this school. Each position on the
field was ably taken care of by the regulars
with able substitutes ready to replace at all
times. The hitting and fielding of the
team as a whole raised percentages formed
by last year's championship team.
Wilmot played a total of seven games
this year. Five of which were conference
games, while two were against a non-conf<orence rival from Zion, Illinois. During
these seven games Wi:mot suffered only
one setback. This was in the final game of
our home series with Zion. This one loss
was the first· suffered by our team in the
last five years of competition. Wilmot
avenged this only loss by giving Zion a
beating in the second game here at Wilmot.
The five conference games this year were
played against Waterford, Rochester, East
Troy, Mukwonago, and Norris F'iarm.

Last fall a group of ardent girl enthusiasts formed the Girls' Athletic Association.
Their main purpose was to carry out a
sports program for health and entertainment. While weather permitted, the girls
enjoyed baseball one night a week after
school. Later basketball came into the
spotlight.
In co-operation with the national effort
to promote physical education to "build
up" the youths of the nation, the G. A. A.
received permission from the Student Council and Office to hold meetings at noon on
Wednesdays and also to make it possible
for the members who wish to participate
to be excused at 11 :45.
To show our appreciation for the
Championship Basketball Team, we entertained the A and B squads at a dinner, followed by games and dancing.

Every year since this organization was
firat started the officers, membe~s, and faculty advisors have been trying to get more
of the boys attending school to take part
in the various sports and activities. Taking
part in such sports as basketball, baseball,
and football, not only builds a person's
body, but also improves the character of a
person.
This organization is open to all boys
who attend .;chool. The main aim is to increase the athletic program so that more of
the boys may take part and enjoy the thrill
of representing Wilmot in one of the major
sports. This year we had a very successful
season in all sports, producing champions
in both basketball and baseball.

Cheerleaders Cheer
for Vidory

Before a person can wear the coveted
W" on a sweater or jacket. he must have
proven himself worthy of it. Each member of this club does not join by merely
signing his name on a sheet of paper. He
must work diligently and faithfully in the
sport in which he partakes, before he can
become an honorarY member.
The "W" isn't just another something
that is e:ewed on a sweater, but something
that the wearer is very proud of. The "W's"
worn by the different fellows around
school tell the pupils that he has done
something good for which he has been re\Varded. So the next time you see a HW"
on a jacket, think of it as something symbolizing a job well done.

In September, 1942, the cheerleaders
fell in line for inspection. In the ranks we
sighted five regulars, two of whom are
ceniors, Ruth Richter and Ruth Vogel; two
more are juniors, Pat McCarthy and Virginia Peterson, and one sophomore, Phyllis Richards. The others are representatives of the freshman and sophomore
classes.

10

This year the cheerleaders were
a warded for their excellent work with two
new uniforms, which are worn by the seniors. The new uniforms are red and white
satin and are made in military fashion.
The cheerleaders are proud to say that
we saw both the football and basketball
teams through a successful season. It was
our honor to be able to cheer for our team
at the District Basketball Tournament.

~~A-ale

The Library Club is an organization
open to all girls who are interested in gaining greater knowledge and new enjoyment
in the world of books. With Miss Kolar to
guide us and the election of Grace Waldo,
Frances Dix, and Shirley J effris as her assistants we marched forward to take
charge of the library. Each period of the
day, librarians assist those who want books,
and straighten the library and magazine
rack. This gives the girls experience which
may prove useful in later life.
This year, renewed interest has been
shown in the fields of aviation and mechanics. To accomn1odate those readers who
are interested, \Ve have replenished our
shelves with many new practical and fundamental books. We also have a new
supply of non-fiction and fiction books.

With the beginning of a new year the
Dramatics Club again opened its doors to
all would-be actors, actresses, and grease
paint artists.
The new staff of officers elected included Grace Waldo, president; Dick Allen,
vice president; Frances Dix, secretary and
treasurer; and George Fait, Student Council representative. Miss Winans acts as our
faculty advisor.
Our program of meetings was begun
with a demonstration on the application of
stage make-up. We sponsor the sale of
War Savings Stamps in school. So far the
sales have been quite successfully conducted. The student body is back of the sale
and we feel we are doing our bit to win the
war.
With the advent of gas rationing, our
meetings were discontinued and our activities limited to make-up and work on
class plays.

The Commercial Club, which was
founded about fourteen years ago, has survived "not'1er echool term. The Club's
chief purpose is to aid those whose ambition is to embmk some day upon the eommercie.l world. It also furthers the inclination that some students have toward Journalism, as the members of this organization elect the chosen few who dutifully put
out the monthly school paper. This is the
CJ.ub's chief source of income, which enabies it to present the hard-earned typing
pins to honored students each year.
Mr. Frank, the club advisor, has done
a splendid job, even though the activities
have been few this year. We are proud o£
our accomplishments as members of this
club and we hope to continue our work
next year.

The most awaited moment here a.t Wilmot is the publishing of our monthly paper.
In this paper is found not only the news of
various units of the school but also the
lateet and best gossip of the month. Prior
to the actual issuing of the paper there is
a frenzied rush to make the deadline. Then
from. the first writings till the final issue is
produced is a long story of hard work and
fruitless toil.
Behind this cyclone of energy let loose
in the Commercial Room during publication is the steady guiding hand of Mr.
Frank. Because of his worthy advice, un~
derstanding, and helpfulness our school
paper has appeared each month to help
brighten our days at Wilmot High.

Girls' Chorus

Dancing Class

IIHUV~Jca~

~.,u,~

In these times of great stress and turmoil it is up to our women and girls to back
our working and fighting men with a song,
a smile, and a prayer.
Our Girls' Chorus is an organization
formed for girls who like to sing. Our songs
vary from lusty patriotic songs to real classical pieces. The girls gain a background
in music which is valuable when they enter
the a Cappella Choir. They learn to sing
for the joy of singing.
Our group is only a small part of a
greater group of lusty voices throughout
the nation who join together to "Keep
America Singing."

During the last few years there has
been increased enthusiasm shown in dancing. Miss Barnes has become a great favorite with the students because she teaches
all the modern dance steps, including
waltzes, jitterbugging, rhumbas and tangos.
This year, fifty-seven students take
their lessons on Tuesday during their free
periods. At noon everyone gathers for
practical experience and fun-dancing to
the music provided by the record machine
and Miss Barnes' piano accordion.
We are looking forward with great anticipation to our "Hill Billy Hop" on April
9, featuring a complete orchestra and real
old fashioned square dancing. Other dance
divertissements will be furnished by visiting dancers who are students of Miss
Barnes.

Band

A Capella Choir

~Jtujpu

~~d.

During the past year our band has survived several setbacks. Soon after our organization, Uncle Sam called our first director, Mr. Fritz.
We then welcomed Miss Piper. Through
her influence, many new numbers were
added to our repertoire. Then we heard
more staggering news. We were to lose
Miss Piper!
We sent out an S. 0. S. Answering our
call for help, Mrs. Schmalfeldt returned to
her old haunts and soon the sounds of a
typical band crashed at her eardrums.
We will not be entered as a classical
band in this year's tournament, but only as
a marching band. We feel sure that, with
our experience in band and with that
gained through our gym exercises, we
should be a first class organization.

The High School A Cappella, although
suffering the same setbacks as the band,
has come through with flying colors. Everyone seemed to be interested in this, the
school's most popular music organization.
In the past year, under the directions of
Mr. Fritz, Miss Piper, and Mrs. Schmalfeldt, we gained the fundamental knowledge of music and set forth our ability to
learn how to sing.
New songs which were destined to become our favorites, included "Listen to the
Lambs" and "Venetian Love Song." Two
other new pieces, "Rain and the River" and
"The Glory of God in Nature," were ~hosen
for our tournament numbers.
It is our hope that the A Cappella will
Iive up to its past record and come home
from the tournament with another first
place.

Allen and Richards Provide Visual ~ducation
THE possibility of broadening the field
of education by visits to museums and other educational and interesting spots is very
limited. With the intrvduction of movies
in schools, many experiences otherwise impossible to have or to see are brought to
life. Movies are a new medium of communication that are magnificent in their potentialities and almost unsurpassed in their
broad influence on human behavior.
Limited as it is to two-dimensional
representation, it nevertheless has potentially the elements of color and of sound
that add to the illusion of reality and make
it the most powerful of the pictorial tools
of education that have been devised by
man. Its full possibilities and its most effective use in education remain to be devel~
oped in the future.
Through the efforts of the students and
faculty in putting on last year's carnival,

vire \vere able to purchase a movie camera~
complete with a sound system. This year
the money from the carnival was used to
buy films for the education and entertainment of the entire school. Our first films
were short, educational features, including travelogues and industrial shorts. Later
in the school year, after special arrangements with Universal Pictures we presented our first feature film. The name of the
picture was "Captain Fury" and the student body enjoyed it whole-heartedly. We
hope to have more pictures like this in the
future but because of the uncertainty of
ordering rights we cannot hope to have too
many. The machine was operated by Dick
Allen, a Senior, and Don Richards, a Junior, who will become Senior operator next
fall. Hats off to Mr. Schnurr, the student
council, and the operators for making it
possible to have these pictures.

A..e~tio-4 ..co.~ .the Juiu~z.e
As "ARSembly" sounded September 6,
1939, 53 bev.ildered draftees formed ranks
at Wilmot high. A little green and somewhat frightened they registered and were
ready for candidate school~Phyllis Taylor became Top Sergeant, Kay Carey wao
chosen Corporal, Dick Allen took it upor,
his shoulders to be om· business and financial clerk. Len Fischer represented us in
the Student CounciL Later in the year we
again went to the polls to choose candi·
dates for the Carnival King and Queen.
Phyllis Taylor and Frankie Derler were
elected and Phyllis reigned at the Carnival, w hil€ Frankie served as Gentleman in
Waiting, During this entire drill we were
under the supreme command of Mannie
Frey. Our biggest entertainment was our
assembly program, a melodran1a, spon·
sored by BiJly's Butter Biscuits.
As the next year rolled p,round we find
our buck privates now promoted to the
ranks of Privates First Class. With the new
ranks we chose new commanders. Harriet
Sakalowski took over the position as Top
Kick, Kay Carey resumed her stand as Assistant, Phyllis Taylor filled the position of
business and financial clerk, and we sent
Velma Richards to Student Council with
our complaints. It was our honor in our
second year at Wilmot High to have both
our candidates, Harriet Sakalowski and
Len Fischer, reigning at the CarnivaL We
entertained the other members of this institute of higher learning with a musical
vaudeville which was well received. Also
asP. F. C.'s it became our duty and privilege. to induct at initiation the incoming
rookies, which we did in fine fashion. Captain Frey, In hi.s second year as our Commander in Chief, did a splendid job. During this term we lost about 12 regulars
who transferred to divisions in Kenosha.
Antioch, Milwaukee, and Genoa City.
Promoted again, this time to the rank
of Corporals, we entered the barracks at
Wilmot High in our 3rd year of mental
drilling. The "die was. cast" for officers,
with Curly Wilson taking command as
president, Kay Carey resuming the assistant command (for the 3rd year), Velma
Richards taking the clerical work, and Len
Fischer representing us in Student Council.
Chief inspector of our platoon was Major

Herbert Frank. As has been the custom
in this camp the Junior Division presented
a dramatic enterprise entitled "Ann of
Green Gables," with Ruth Vogel, Grace
Waldo, and Ray Griffin taking the leads.
Before Christmas we received our class
rings which we had eagerly been awaitjng.
For our prom we chose South A1nerican
decorations. The promenade was led by
Platoon President Curly Wilson and his
Queen, Doris Neumann. The Junior Division won the 'Rooster" in the inter-division basketball conference. At the end of
thi.s term we lost several more n1embers.
1

In 1942, as able bodied Sergeants,
about 45 members re-entered Wilmot High
for the LAST (we hope) of 4 years of
strenuous training. Giving orders this year
are Len Fi8cher, as president; George Fait,
a.a vice president; Georgia Vander Zee, as
secretary and treasurer, and Velma Richards as Student Council representative. We
are also under the able guidance of Professor Schnurr. In keeping with the precedG1t made two years ago, ·we elected our
Carnival candidates into the royalty once
again. Our candidates were Bernice ElVHmB.n and Don Joerndt. At the Carnival
our division presented a military musical
program-"A Day at Camp."
Our big
<Went this year is publishing the "Echo."
We elected Georgia Vander Zee, editor;
Grace Waldo, as her assistant; George
Fait, as business manager, and Dick Allen
as his assistant. The Senior Division elected Velma Richards as Wilmot High
School's candidate to the Good Citizenship
Pilgrimage which is sponsored by the
Daughters of the American Revolution.
We lost three regulars this year; also there
are several members of our class now serving in the armed forces of our country.
They are: Curly Wilson, in the army; Willis Freeman, Bill Eichinger, and Herb Bernhaft, in the navy; and Bob Sarbacker, who
left in 1940, in the marines.
Ae we look back on our four years at
Wilmot High School, we feel that we have
in every respect been trained to the best
of the teachers' abilities. We are ready to
step out into the world, and with our educational accomplishments, we feel able to
face the post-war world with confidence.

A Glimps
MY

name is Elmer. I am a rat. For six
years I have lived in Wilmot High School.
The other day, my Grandpa Mort came over
and brought his time machine along. As I sat
gazing into the glass visor, this is what I saw.
First of all I saw myself, old and gray, with a
long beard. I didn't recognize the place where
I was, at first, but gradually I became accustomed to my surroundings. Sure enough, it
was the old gym. It was all decorated with
red, white and blue paper and flags flying everywhere. I turned and asked Grandpa what
the celebration was and this is what he said:
"Grandson, a long '' ar has just ended and
all of these officials are meeting at the gym to
discuss the peace. Watch, Elmer, and tell me
what you see."
Many important looking people were
scurrying up the stairs. The year is 194? and
the gymnasium has been designated as the
place to hold the conference.
The shrill notes of a bugle cut through the
air as Dorothy Waldo blew Assembly on a tin
horn. Dorothy is the only woman in the Cavalry. President Fischer pounded his gavel on
the desk and shouted, "Order, Order!"
Bob Sheahan yelled out, "I'll have a Pepsi, Fish." Bob, as you all undoubtedly know,
has just written a best seller, "How to Drive
Your Teacher Mad in Six Easy Lessons."
After the room quieted down, with the
help of George Fait, ex-M. P., Georgia Vander Zee l"€ad the minutes of our last meeting
and announced our financial embarassment.
Georgia just flew in from Delawm·e, where
she is stationed with the WAFS.
The busine>s meeting opened with a talk
by George Huntoon on the subject, "Future
Peace Terms" or "How to Get Along 'Vith
Your Mother-in-Law." He was followed by
two of Kenosha county's most able farmers,
Milt Schenning and Ken Hackbarth, who
talked on "How to Raise Thoroughbred
Chickens." Myrtle Jerde, now Mrs. Willard
Bailey, took great interest in the speech, as
she and Willard own a farm, where they specialize in raising chickens that won't crow
early in the morning.
1

All of a sudden everyone in the building
turned, so they could see what was causing
the commotion. It was the grand entrance of
Rep. Senator Don Pringle and Acting Governor Warren Kanis. A great cheer went up
(and so did the roof) .
After they had taken their bows, the main
feature began. The curtains parted and the
beautiful strains of "When They Played the
Polka" floated through the air, as the Manning Barefoot Ten made with the corn. The
nimble figures of Richter and Kohout, the
dance team that has been making such a sensational hit at the Chicago theatre, danced,
e.truggled, fell, and finally staggered through
their famous rendition of the polka. A great
round of applause went up from the audience
and the members of the band stood up and
took a bow. I was able to catch a glimpse of
some of the players-Frank Anderson in the
bass section; Ray Griffin, who plays a mean
sax, and Jessie Allen, who gives out with the
jive on the broom and cigar box. Then for a
little specialty, Thelma Jackson, Jessie and
Ruth Vogel, famous trio known as "The Lemon Sisters," sang HHere Comes the Navy.H
Everyone thought that was great and then
Louise Nelson and Fl·ances Dix sang an excerpt from the opera, "Auf Fooder Se Hen."
They 1·eally went over big, especially when
they swung the second chorus.
We were honored with the presence of
Petrovich Retzinger, who plays second fiddle
with the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestm,
and he played us a selection entitled "The
Prelude in P Sharp Major and Minor." The
program was suddenly interrupted when a
blood curdling scream sounded through the
rafters. It was Dorothy Nienhaus.
She
claimed she had seen a man crawling up and
down the aisle. The M. P., George Fait,
rushed to see what caused the disturbance,
and everyone was relieved to find out that it
was only Professor Jimmy Mitchell from the
Sub Normal U. still trying to find out the answer to his most baffling question, "If the
moon is made of green cheese, why doesn't
it stink?"

[ 48 J

Into the Future
Everyone looked up when the roar of a
low flying airplane droned in their ears. AI
DeBell "tore" outside and "tore" back in
again, telling us that it was Herb Bernhoft
and his private secretary, Mary Jane Davis,
coming in "On a Wing and a Prayer." AI, as
I must tell you, has just broken the new world
record in runn;ng the mile in only 3 hours. He
claims that he owes all of his success to right
living, plenty of sleep, and Wheaties 3 times
a day.
From the balcony came the following
shouts: "Peanuts, popcorn, cracker jack,
junk in every box!" Wondering who? None
other than our little vendor, Dick "Scoop"
Allen. He was doing a good business, too.
Jeep Terry sat through all the performances with his bean shooter. It seems that
some one told him one of the actors was going
to do a bubble dance.
I ran down the aisle. I didn't think anyone raw me, but suddenly two soldiers
screamed and jumpe"d upon their chairs.
Pardon me, they weren't soldiers, just
W AACs, Maggie and Grace Waldo. The girls
left their winter homes in Wilmot several
years ago and took up light housekeeping in
the barracks at Fort Des Moines. I quickly
crawled up Mr. Schnurr's pant leg and remained out of sight till the crowd calmed
down.
Woody Bryant and Shirley J effris barged
upon the stage and began a demonstration of
their ability to dance ballet. After the dance,
Lennard asked Woody if it didn't hurt him to
stand on his toes4 "No," he said, "after the
first two hours of banging your toes up
against a brick wall, the rest doesn't matter."
Shirley teaches dancing at Wilmot High.
Just then Jerk J oerndt flew in the room
and announced that he was just done with
K. P. and that he wanted to help us peel out
some peace terms.
The band struck, up some martial music
and in the door walked our returning heroes.
Willie Freeman and Bill Eichinger led the parade, dressed in their uniforms of blue. Curly Wilson, who had just zoomed in on his
motorcycle, followed singing, "Curly Got a

Zero." He had left his mules, and we don't
mean bedroom slippers, tied to the post in
Colorado.
Jonnie Sokolski and June Hartnell were
next on the program. They gave a speech and
demonstration on "How to Find the Best
Seats in a Dark Theatre Without Sitting on
Somebody's Lap." Most of it was old stuff to
the g;ing.
In the audience I saw Charlotte Hollister
and Charlotte Pacey, alias Holly and Queenie.
From latest gossip, I gather that Holly is
eagerly awaiting the return of her marine and
Queenie is a school teacher in Milwaukee.
(Whatever happened to those "wicked"
jokes she could tell?)
Now is the time for me to make my appearance again. I crawled out of Mr.
Schnurr's pant leg and decided to go up front
and sit by Mr. and Mrs. Ray Stoxen. You will
remember Mrs. Stoxen as the former Esther
Merten. They had to leave as soon as I got
there--so they could prepare the refreshments for the crowd. Ray, as you know, owns
and operates the Stoxen Emporium for Sloppy
Sundaes. Esther is his short order clerk. She
inherited the ability from the days when she
used to cook in the cafeteria at High School.
Bernice Elverman and Velma Richards
seem to have enough men around them these
days. And why shouldn't they? They are
Red Cross nurses.
Harriet Sakalowski and Dorothy Nienhaus are now experienced beauticians. They
have just written a book, "Care for Your Hair
for Your Country." It really did look funny
to see them with Heinie haircuts.
The program is now over and President
Fischer arises to make the farewell address.
"We met here to discuss the peace of the
nation. So far we didn't do a thing, but we
all had a darned good time."
Grandpa Mort leaned back in his chair
and lit his pipe and said, "Yes, Elmer, that's
the way things go." Then he put on •his coat
and taking his time machine, wagged his tail
and left me, saying, "I'll be back next year,
Elmer, and we'll look in on the class of '44."
