Football C9425
The 1942 Elkhorn football team was fairly successful although it did not finish high in the
conference standings. Coach Karl Ulichny was in his first year as head coach, and his
assistants were Russell Iaycox and Donald Disrud. The Elks were just below the .500 mark,
as they won three games while losing five. Two of the three wins were at the end of the
season, and thus you can see that the team was at its peak when finishing its schedule.
Elkhorn opened its schedule against Walworth and came out on the short end of a 20-6
score. The locals then traveled to East Troy and easily won by a score of 26-12. The team
next went to Lake Geneva for the first conference tilt and was beaten by a score of 25-13.
The next game was also a conference game and the Elks played their worst game of the
year, being defeated by a score of 40-6. Iefferson was the next stop for the local eleven and
they lost 8-0 to the Rock Valley Champs. Next came the crucial game with Delavan. The
game was fairly even in the first half, but the Comets showed too much power in the second
half and won 19-O. The Whitewater game was to see who was to be in the cellar of the
conference. The Elkhorn boys decided they weren't going to be and played their best
game of the season in defeating the red and white 6-0 in the homecoming game. The final
game of the season was played with the Delavan Deaf, and the Elks won 7-0.

The high spot of the football season
was reached on October 30 with the
gaieties of Homecoming The fun be-
gan on October 29 with the bonfire,
speeches and a snake dance which
ended at the theater
On Friday at two PM the largest
parade ever witnessed by the Elkhorn
Homecoming fans proceeded according
to schedule in a heavy downpour.
The football game with Whitewater
was the keynote of the season, and
even the weather could not dampen
the spirits of the team and spectators.

The game became spectacular dur-
ing the last two minutes when Robert
Nitschke made a touchdown bringing
Elkhorn through on top with a score
of 6-U.
Alumni and students made a great
turnout for the dance that evening
when Don Ellsworth was crowned
Helen's king. Don had been chosen
in the locker room by the football boys
after the game because of his brilliant

Athletic Program
This year in Elkhorn we have an athletic council which rules over all major sports.
This council is composed of the coaches of the sports, an elected member from each class,
and the principal. Its duties include awarding of letters, making and enforcing training
rules, and bettering the athletic program of the school.
Elkhorn now has a thoroughly developed athletic program, taking in the grade school
and the high school. Boys from the third grade up are taught the fundamentals of the various
sports. This plan makes it much easier for the high school coaches, as the boys are already
partially trained.
In the high school there are four major sports in which the boys participate. These
are football, basketball, baseball, and tennis. A boy rnust participate in one-third of the
quarters, innings, or sets of football, basketball, baseball, and tennis to earn a letter.

Future hunters and Annie Oakleys are getting the
fundamentals of sharp-shooting from Mr. Tall. These
students are learning the do's and don't's which are
necessary to know when one is handling a rifle. They
develop their aim in a subterranean rifle range located
beneath the new high school building.
These boys and girls, as a result of their careful
study and instruction, will be more careful and skill-
ful marksmen.

1943 Basketball IF J
Elkhorn High School's 1942-43 basketball season is
now history. The team was eliminated from the Elkhorn
Regional tournament when they were defeated by Milton
Union by a score of 25-22.
The Elks finished in the cellar of the Southern State
Conference with two wins and six losses.
The season, however, did have its high spots. On the
night of December llth the Elks defeated the mighty
Comets from Delavan. It was the first time in seven years
that Elkhorn had been able to lick its keen rival. The
game was won in the last few minutes of play when the
Elks put on the pressure.
The team had one of the strongest outfits in this part
of the state, but lost many games in the last half by close
scores. The season ended with four wins and thirteen
losses. The Elks scored 399 points to 477 for the oppon-
ents. Ioe Walters was high scorer for the season with
115 points. Sorenson followed with 82, Iones 73, and
Belknap 55.

The Pros and Cons of all contemporary problems
are brought up and discussed by Mr. Uh1's debaters
during the half-hour club periods. Fiery remarks are
directed at the opposition, and tempers are aroused
as the negative and affirmative struggle with this
year's question: Resolved--That a Federal World Gov-
ernment Should Be Established.
These students, through their experience in debate
work, have acquired the technique of argumentation
and have developed an alertness for current issues.

Declamatory and Oratory
Those students taking part in serious, and humorous declamation, and
oratory have received their training from Miss Ieanne Bennett and Mr.
Paul Uhl.
Through their experience in forensic Work, they have become better
acquainted with good literature. The study of diction and pronunciation have
aided the group in presenting their readings.
Audience-contact and self-control have been developed in the after-school
classes at which time all of their training has taken place.

Extemporaneous Speaking and Reading
Mr. Paul Uhl heads the extemporaneous speaking group this year, and
Miss Ieanne Bennett is in charge of the reading group.
With the help of Mr. Uhl, the students have gathered much information
on various subjects of current importance, which will be used as background
material for their extemporaneous speeches.
Not being able to prepare a definite speech ahead of time, the students,
therefore, have become a well-read group on international affairs.
Miss Bennett's readers have worked toward mastery in reading inter-
pretation with emphasis this year on current news.

Pep Club
Yells and songs led by the cheer leaders echo cmd re-echo throughout the school
building during the weekly meetings of the Pep Club. These girls maintain the quality
of the school spirit, which is the essence of school life.
Some of the club's activities have included the writing of several new pep songs and
yells, which were later introduced to the student body during the pep rallies.
Tumbling and modern dancing are also included in the second semester program.

The Girls' Athletic Association
The Girls' Athletic Association was founded by our former coach, Iack Beattie in 1940.
A point system was established whereby the girls were given a definite number of
points for participating in the various sports activities. Upon reaching the total of points
required the girls receive a G.A.A. letter. The senior girls are required to have 900 points
before receiving a letter and 1500 points for a medal. All members ot the other classes have
to accumulate 1500 points for an "E" and 2000 points for a medal.
Points are awarded for participation in soccer, volley ball, basketball, baseball, and
bowling. The girls on the winning team receive 25 extra points plus the 100 points given for
taking part in the sport. The 2nd place winners receive 20 extra points, members of the
third team 15 extra points, and players in the fourth place group receive 10 extra points.
Points are also awarded for participation in any of the other G.A.A. activities, such as
hikes, ice skating, and tobogganing. I

placing in division one in marching, sight reading, and concert.
At present, there are fifty members in the senior band, which rehearses twice a week.
There are private lessons given by Mr. Steidl.
Mr. L. Steidl took over the duties of band director in Feb. when Mr. Robert Schroeder
was called to service in the U. S. Navy.
Throughout the course of the year four concerts were given by this high school musical
group.

Vocal Music
The vocal organizations of 1943 have carried on the tradition of good music in Elkhorn
High.
The A Cappella choir is the largest group consisting of forty-six members. The group
has appeared very successfully in four concert performances.
Miss Torhorst also has the direction of the Girls' Chorus. This group has been given rec-
ognition for excellent tournament and concert performances. A smaller organization, in pre-
paration for members in the choir and chorus, was formed this year.
In order to give the boys and equal chance with the girls, a new organization, the Boys'
Chorus, was started this year with assistance from Mr. Robert Schroeder. After Mr. Schroed-
er left for naval duties, Mr. Lawrence Steidl took over the group. Although they did not
go to the tournament they turned in several fine local performances.
Time, effort, and talent combined have resulted in excellent vocal demonstrations.

International Club
Miss Bennett, organizer ot the
International Club, realized the
necessity of closer contact with
our foreign neighbors. Those be-
longing to this educational club
indulge in a study ot the different
customs, sports, foods, and types
of products typical of each indi-
vidual nation, and people of for-
eign lands.
One of the chief aims of the
club is to stimulate interest in the
South American countries.
Librarians
The management ot our school
library depends upon the capable
work of our librarians.
Perched upon their stools be-
hind the counter, they charge the
students with the many fine books
and magazines our library posses-
ses.
Behind the closed door of the
library, the librarians are kept
busy recording new books and
keeping the old ones in repair.
Library science is being studied
by several of the girls for credit
towards graduation.
The others work in the library
during their free periods.

School behind the school practicing up on

bow and six arrows during the course of
the year. This work is carried on when
the archers are not able to be out-of-doors.
The
Tennis Team
Coach Karl Ulichny has
charge ot the 1943 tennis
squad.

frey and Elzy Cooper are

the team this year.
Last season was the
first time Elkhorn has tak-
en part in tennis competi-
tion, however, the boys
had a fairly successful
record. With lettermen
returning again this year
the boys should be able to
hold their own.
Practice sets are played
on the courts behind the
school between members
of the squad to keep them
in condition for the games
with Geneva, Delavan,
and Whitewater.

Conservation
Club
An increased knowledge of
soil, forests, and wild life is
sought after by the conserva-
tion-minded students in our
school.
Miss Turner has secured in-
formation regarding the work
of our state and national gov-
e r n m e n t conservation pro-
grams, which has contributed
to the students research pro-
jects.
During the course of their
study, several hikes have been
enjoyed by the group. Actual
contact with nature has made
the club more conscious of the
need for conservation in Wis-
consin and the entire world.
