Too, we have gained knowledge which we know must be had as a prerequisite to future success and happiness. But this, too, is very minute. Most of us have a conviction of omniscience after these four years of learn- ing. But this we will soon forget as we ponder problems of life which shall seem insurmountable. It is then that we will rely on the real lessons which we have learned, We have confidence as we leave Ashland I-Iigh School. We do not have fear of the awful orgy of war. Instead we step into an era that beats with the pulse of peace. For this we are thankful, and that we have been given this opportunity to live and be taught. ,i I , ffm- :v, MAIN BUILDING 1 g .. 7 -L g rf, a I sith Y .fafimm 3 ' fbacfcf -our-0' Hbsb.

Ruling Bda, The 1947 Student Council consisted ot elected repre- sentatives irom each advisory group who met each Monday to discuss affairs ot the High School. The Council made huge strides in moving steadily to- ward its goal ot possessing genuine power and authority in the administration of the school. The Council this year created a committee to settle the troublesome problem of school sweatersg campaigned suc- cessfully to stop ru'nning in the halls and general discourteous- nessg sponsored various school dances, and produced, through its program committee, an all-student stage show to supplement the school's limited convocation series. They also revised the constitution which now incorporates new methods ot electing council representatives and class ot- ticers, and which enlarges the Student Council to include the class Presidents.

The club is composed of thirty members, half of which are supposed to be seniors and the other half juniors. This year the balance of power shifted to one extra junior. The new members, always juniors, are elected on the basis of their support for the organization. The traditional mysterious initiation follows. The Sub Debs sponsor various dances and social functions throughout the year. Of these, one is the banguet for the football and basketball members. This was adopted in l945 and is now taken to be traditional of the group. A banquet was also held at the Menard Hotel for the organization's former members as well as its present ones. This has been a high-light of the organization's social calendar. Two girls have charge ot each weekly meeting. Many helpful and interesting topics are discussed and debated. Advice is given to the girls on popular hair-dos, makeup, clothes, and personality. The girls benefit much by this, and become increasingly interested in Poise, Personality, and Charm. This year's officers are: Mary Lou Tohnson, Presi- dent, Marg Clock, Vice-President, Beverly Gehr- man, Secretary, and Ioyce Carlson, Treasurer. Page 31 ow How Row 4: B. Grahek, S, Iensen: P.

Our officers for this year are: Ellen Enright, President: Marie Peters, Vice-President, Mary Alice Ashmun, Secre- tary: Alice Coole, Treasurer.

She has con- tinued, by her inspiring per- sonality, to guide us toward the ultimate goal of social suc- cess. We therefore give to her our heartiest thanks, THANKS Miss Clauson. The Ashland Chapter of the Future Farmers of America comprised the largest and possibly the most active organization in Ashland l-ligh. Under- going its seventh successful year under the present guidance of George Kinney, High School teacher, the group has continued to be increasingly active in school and regional affairs. Being so active, the group is at present and as usual planning many things for the betterment of the all-important farmer. This year's officers elect are: Myron Anderson, hard driving senior Presi- dentg Earl lohnson, Vice Presidentg Kenneth Lindguist, Secretaryg Robert Beebe, Treasurer, William Sandstrom, Reporter. The F. F. A. also organized their tradi- tional basketball team, and encountered the AHS B team in their first tilt, only to lose by a large margin. Gther accomplishments of the chapter were the sending of its officers to the District F. F. A. meeting at Shell Lake, for the purpose of studying the farmer's conditions in the world. They also nomi- nated a committee to handle the con- cessions during the basketball games. vazmaymesau The F. F.

Over in the corner, sprawled on the desk, we find Tom Zee, sports editor, Working on the next sport page. There's I an Fossum, our editor in chief, creating some good layouts for the WAWATA. That's Dave Mackie and Ellen Enright, our associate editors, arguing over an article for the dear old annual. But what is that maze of equipment stacked in yonder corner? We folks kind of imagine it is lohn, alias Buck, Bockeloh, con- centrating on the new photo exposure meter. Yes, as we look back, one can plainly see that these lournalism classes have been an inspiring success. ln addition to putting out this book, they have managed and edited theP Sl G news- paper. Aside from this they are also taking a course in lournalistic writing and reading. Credit should be extended to Mr. McRae whose constant coaching and inspiring wit, has managed to mould from a group of students, ignorant in the way of lournalistic life, a class capable of producing a creation which could receive high honors easily.

L- G O The Speech and Drama Department was reestablished this year under the direction of Miss Elaine Casperson. Her aims are to discover and develop individual potentialities, create an appreciation of speech in democracy, teach good relationships with others, and train students for a better living. The first semester of Speech covered work in voice development, interpretive reading, public speak- ing, debate, and panel discussion. The second semester drama course included the acting and producing of plays, art of make-up, and costuming. One of the first projects of the department was the annual school production of the Nativity in December. A more modern trend was followed and many new and different styles were introduced. The choir and orchestra, under the direction of'Mrs. Blanche Fletcher and Miss Carole Hartman assisted in the presenta- tion. Both of the classes planned and presented a pep meeting stunt. Forensic work increased to a great extent and many students outside of the regular classes participated in the contest. The entries included humorous and serious declamations, orations, and extemporaneous reading and speaking. Early in spring a series of one-act plays were staged by the students with the aid of Miss Casperson. The student body and townspeople noted the high standard of k ment when they witnessed th - ' wor that was put forth by this depart- e three act Senior Class play in May. A.-.-1 - 1 MN Xu.

This year a large number of new members were subjected to a vigorous informal initiation, followed by a delicious lunch. The formal candle-light ceremony took place at the next meeting.

K., children, let us pray! lt you step inside the bandroom some sixth period, this is undoubtedly what you would hear from director, Ted Mesang. This is just one ot the many remarks which has made Ted so popular with all the band members and one ot the reasons why he gets such good results. Now let us look back and see what the band has accomplished this year. In the tall, as in all past years, they thrilled the crowds at football games with maneuvers which could stand up to any college band. Then, besides practicing almost daily tor the games, they prepared a concert tor the annual Teachers' Convention and did an excellent job ot it. ln lanuary they played, by spe- cial request, a concert in lron River. The numbers they played there in- cluded most of those that they played in their annual Mid-Winter Concert which was held on February.24. At this Mid-Winter Concert they had the honor ot having Mr. Raymond Dvorak of the University of Wisconsin as guest conductor. Mr. Dvorak directed 5 J l I D. Westbyg B. Haqstromg D. Nyberqg J.

They also had two feature numbers at the concert which included a cornet trio, and a piano solo with the band accompaniment, which is something which has never been done in this region. We wouldn't be complete in relating all these band events if we didn't mention the pep band, which was on hand for every basketball game. They really spurred the team on, and added much to the atmosphere with their peppy marches. ln the spring festival, the group played three numbers in class A and received high ratings and praises from the judges. Many of the members of the band played solos and in ensembles for the festival, also, and some had the fine experience of receiving a t'star and taking in the state music festival at Madison. This band that Mr. Mesang has moulded is an organization which every person in the town should be proud of, and it should receive high praises for the advanced work that it does.

Along with the group singing, there were several soloists which in- clude Rita Sobotka, Ruth Giese, Cynthia Buckland, Faith Porter, and Priscilla Steves. There was also a group of seven girls who sang a cappella and did a re- markably fine job of it. Along with these numbers was a group of three songs rendered by all the boys of the choir. This concert was the first of its kind given for a number of years, and it was greeted very favorably from all the students and adults in the city. During the basketball tournaments held in the Dodd Gym, some of the Choir students sold ice cream bars to raise money for a trip to Madison, which they had hopes for in the spring. This was well worth the effort they put into it, for many of the boys and girls who sang in solos and ensembles at the Regional Music Festival, received 'lstars for their excellent renditions, and travelled to Madison to take in the State Music Festival. The Choir, also, sang three numbers for this spring festival and re- ceived high ratings trom the judges. Page 43 Circle: Accompanists with accomplishment-- Barbara Nyhus and Cyn- thia Buckland.

Page 44 The group's tirst public performance came when they con- tributed a number ot pieces to the Christmas Nativity. They opened the performance with an overture, Christmas Fantasy, and throughout the play they rendered several Christmas carols. Their next appearance came in a joint recital with the Choir. Here tour tine numbers were rendered, which include: Russian Qverturef' Meadowlands, Valse Basque, and a Mendelssohn March. ln the Spring Festival the orchestra played three selections which received high ratings from the judges.

The lunior Band is an organization which many schools cannot boast ot. I-lere the younger students, mostly eighth graders, are prepared tor advancement into the senior band. Mr. Mesang works with these students in much the same manner as he does with the senior band and the results he gets are worth a lot ot praise. This year the group played only in the Spring Festival, but the fine job they did in it proved how they worked during the year. This year's Girls' Glee Club is the first ot its kind in a number of years. The group inet twice a week, and worked up some beautiful songs which they presented in two concerts. I-lere they rendered three songs which include: ulnto The Woods My Master Went, HLet All My Lite Be Music, and The Cuckoo Clock. Mrs. Blanche Fletcher deserves a lot ot credit tor the tine job she has done with this group. Row 4 G. Wickrnari: I. Iohnson: F. Maiewskl: C. Schubert: I. Gilberison: I. Watson: I. Kulbaitki: H.

It was a perfectly moulded machine that outplayed all op' ponents with perfectly coordinated tactics. lt was a great team because it was composed of a group of boys who did not possess outstanding ability as individual football players. But the story of success was written on the practice field. These boys wanted to win: they strove unceasingly to obtain their objective. They had the intense desire to play foot- ball and win. By strict attention to details, they made themselves into good football players. This team reaped the full benefits of athletic competition. They had their moments of greatness, when the allepowerful Wausau aggregation fell to them. Defeat was also taken in stride when they were downed by the Superior Central Vikings. lf future Ashland teams can grasp the flaming spirit of this team, we need not fear the future.

Page 47 MIKE ANDERSON '47, End-'An unfailing de- fense man, Mike's work improved throughout the season. His spot will be hard to fill. RODNEY ASPLUND '48, End- Wash was a sures fire pass receiver and definite defense threat. With his power he will be invaluable next year. ROBERT BOND '48, Ouar- terback- Milt was a sure fire threat to the op- posing forces when his fine running entered the game. ROBERT HOWARD '47, QuarterbackfBob's fast and flashy ball handling along with his sure passing ability made him one of the finest quarterbacks in the Conference. MARVIN HUNT '47, Guard - Strategy was Marv's middle name as he crashed the enemy line and stopped the onslaught. Many an extra point was garnered by this boy and his educated toe. Page 48 HARRY IOCEWICZ '48, Left Half- Iozz. This spunky fighting junior fought through many a potential enemy tackler for yardage and many a first down. STANLEY KIVELA '47, Tackle-Stan's powerful blocking and overpowerf ing line crashing made up for his lack of speed. A really outstanding player. ROY KLEIN '47, Center- As an experienced pivot man, Roy put the ball into play successfully. His power and drive as a line backer made him the number one center in the Conference. DONALD LARSON '48, End4Doc's good running and pass receiving was a valuable asset to the team. ELWOOD LEHREN '48, Eullback-An all-around player of natural ability, this boy will spark next year's team. WILLIAM OTTMAN '47, Tackle-Bill didn't see much action this year, but he was a good, steady, all- around player. DONALD PETERSON '48, Halfback- Pete was the team's smallest player, but there was a lot of fire and team spirit housed within his powerful body. IOHN SELL '48, Tackleh Many an enemy line was smashed by this boy for successful yardage by his team members. He'll really be an asset to next year's team. DAVID SUMINSKI '49, Tackle - Dave's wide awake Sophomore spirit dropped the enemy run- ners in their tracks, and garnered the all-impor- tant touchdown in the Wausau game. FRED TIDSTROM '47, Full- back- Fritz had the out- standing ability and team spirit to rate him as one of the best fulls in the con- ference. A wonderful run- ning and charging asset. Page 49 KENNETH TIDSTROM '47, EndfKen's ability to take enemy punishment and snatch impossible passes ranked him as one of the outstanding players. DAVID WESTBY '47, Center-Dave was an out- standing line backer and powerful tackler as well as a sure ball handler. CHARLES YDERSTAD '47, Guardf Yder was Ash- land l'Iigh's outstanding linesman and team player, and our only allsstate member. He bounced the opposition around like rubber balls. His play- ing was an awe-inspiring sight. EDWARD ZIOLKOWSKI '47, Right Half-'Ed was one of the outstanding team members this year, and his inspiring courage and determination brought A. H. S. through many a tight spot. TOM ZIOLKOWSKI '47, End - Pooz's natural football ability was very obvious. Besides being outstanding on offense and defense in the line, he also managed one of the back spots when necessary. Un Me dqaaafwaafi The l946 47 basketball season was one ot recon- version, Practically every player ot the past two championship teams was gone, which made it time to rebuild. No championships were Won, but the team did have a lot ot tun and showed steady im- provement throughout the season. A great many boys received valuable experience which will be a great asset to next year's squad. This season was the last in the prep careers ot Captain Bob Howard, Don Olson, Fred Tidstrom, Ken Tidstrom, and Ed Ziolkowski. These boys did a bang-up job for Ash- land High. The season started out tairly well when they took only a 28 29 dete-at trom the powerful Hurley sguad. Throughout the season they took guite a tew defeats, but were in there fighting every minute ot play. They had their ott nights just as all teams have, but most ot the time they played with everything they had and always showed the opponent a good spirited tight. To prove this, they played a beautiful game against one ot the greatest teams Park Falls has ever had, and it was only through an over-time that Park Falls beat them by two points. Another example is when they put a scare into the all-powerful Antigo tive and held them only as a tirst-rate team could do.

'13 '7eanz Ashland High School's junior varsity basketball team completed its 1946-47 season by turning in one of the finest UB team records in the school's history. Coached by Harold Nilssen, the Bees chalked up a whirlwind campaign of fifteen losses to only two de- feats. The first defeat, against Superior Central, was by the slim margin of 26-27, and the second, they were overcome by Hurley only in a scrappy overtime period. These boys won the mythical HB team crown for the Michigan-Wisconsin Conference with seven wins and one loss. These games were all hard-fought and brought out some very promising material for the future A teams of Ashland High. We want to congratulate these boys for their fine season, and'wish them the best of luck in the years to come. The boys scrimmage during one of their practices- Four prep and treshman teams played in the boys' intramural tournament this year. Each year this is awaited eagerly by all the boys, and each tournament proves to be even more exciting than the next.

This team really de- served this honor. Every night each player came out faithfully, and they put their hearts into each game. The sophomores tried everything they knew to beat this team, but the freshmen were too much for them. Coming in in third place were the seniors, and fourth place the juniors. The preps tagged be- hind with fifth place. This year the tournament was a round robin affair, each team playing all the others, and the one with the most wins coming out on top. The freshmen were the only ones with no losses, therefore winning the cham- pionship title. Volleyball has always been a favorite sport for the girls in Ashland High, and is eagerly awaited every season. The Semor5 Lvl! lu Rlqhl Row 2. E, Bloomquxslg I. Meling l. Nelson. Row 1. B.

All four of them played in tennis competition last year, and did a fine job in all the tennis meets this season, lt is largely on Don Qlson Cextreme left on the picturel that Coach Melvin bases his hopes for a successful tennis season. Doc has won the boys' singles tournaments and gone to Madison for two straight summers, and he also took the men's singles in the city tournament last summer. l-le and Coach Melvin together won the city doubles championship. Bob Howard, Fred Tidstrom, and Howard Lindquist Cin order as they appear on the top of the pagel comprise the rest of the Doclcer squad. These boys have spent a good deal of time during the summer months practicing hard at the sport, and the results showed up in the meets with the different schools. Tennis is a comparatively new sport at Ashland High, but with the new courts, it is hoped that there will be a better turnout in years to come. him-GZG44 B The Inter-Class Basketball tournament wound up with Van Peterson's junior crew coming out on top, having narrowly whipped a freshman outfit led by Stewart Melvin, by a 2Ofl9 count. The new inter-grade titlesholding sguad consists of Peterson, Harvey Tohnson, Charles Hedican, Vernon Meyer, Philip Hanson, and Ardath Peacy. I Both the freshman and junior aggregations entered the finals after grueling elimination battles in the playoffs and semi-finals. The initial playoffs in the class tournament were conducted betigeen teams in the respective classes, and the semi-finals between the champs from each gra e. The champ sophomore team consisted of Keith Hultman, Ronald Hultman, Gordon lohnson, George locewicz, Bob Gustufson, and Bob Gingles. The champ survivors of the senior class are Don Anderson, Martin Van DeBruggen, Myron Anderson, Ronald Fischer, and Bill Butterworth. Page 57 hug Page 58 We Wad Some The Mechanical Drawing classes this year are under the supervision of Mr. Van Ashmun and Carl Ciassen. They have been making plans and drawings and constructing ditterent things troni their drawings. The class has been very successtul this year and proved very interesting to all those boys enrolled in it. The Art class this year was one ot the tinest Ashland High School has ever had. The class consisted ot students from the Freshmen to the Seniors, and, according to Mrs. Durocher, there has never been a class so easy to get along with and who has had so much talent. They have done a number ot various types ot drawings and paintings and many ot the students entered various contests. They also drew beautitul murals and set up a manger scene in the halls tor Christmas. They have drawn any number ot posters tor various activie ties ot the school. A lot ot credit is due this class tor the brilliant work they have done. Future carpenters and mechanics are definitely in the making here in one ot Van Ashmun's Manual Training classes. The boys in these classes have con- structed everything trom ash-trays to turniture. As could be expected, Mr. Ashmun's coaching and vital intormation will have much to do with the tuture success ot these boys. ln this last picture, our photographer caught several tuture Einstiens debating a tough Chemistry problem. Well, work hard at it, boys. The day will come when what you have learned will be invalu- able to you. As usual the classes have been under the supervision ot the experienced eye ot Mr. Gus Ziesmer. lt was through his simple explanation ot supposedly tough problems that the classes managed to learn all that was expected ot them. X' af0m Glafuu The Agriculture class is under the supervision ot Mr. George Kinney. They have been doing most ot their work in the machine shop this year, learning how to solder and repair ditterent farm machinery. They also learned ditterent things about crops and soil, animal husbandry, and farm economics. lt has proved to be popu- lar with the city as well as the country boys. The Commercial courses in Ashland l-hgh have been as popular this year as they always have been. Under the instruc- tions ot Miss lohnson and Mr. Cory, the students have been able to take Shorthand, Typing, Bookkeeping, and Commercial Law. The advanced commercial students have been working in the ottice, and doing guite a bit of typing and mimeographing tor various teachers in the school. Home Economics is under the direction of Miss Parsons and Miss Bishott. These classes include both sewing and cooking. The girls have made many lovely things tor themselves during the year, and they also had the experience ot putting their cooking to actual use when they served the Superior State Teachers' College Band. The English course in Ashland High is probably one ot the largest and most popue lar, lt is reguired for three years, but is ottered tor tour. ln the junior and senior years, besides the regular English courses, lournalism, Speech, and Drama are ole tered. These courses were just added to our curriculum this year and prove to be very popular. The teachers tor these courses are Mrs. Clark, Miss Wilhelm, Miss Sollie, Miss Rohan, Miss Casperson, and Mr. McRae. - vw-.-.aw .. 1.3 SW ifg jf fy ji K A A 9 Mr. Dvorak ieads ihe audience in his own version oi x'Under the Spreading Chesinui Tree.
