indispensable advisor. lndustriaus Ed Andereck was chosen to head the student council of which Gib Kleck- ner and Ruth Discher were our representa- tives. The council was exceptionally active this year. Our most successful informal dance of the year was sponsored by this group and held in the large gym complete with an or- chestra and appropriate Valentine motifs. Motley memories of the student council sponsored Spring Carnival will remain with us always. lt was in our senior year that we exper- ienced one of the most gala Hamecomings in the history of MHS. Amid floats, banners, and cheering music rode our Homecoming queen, Margaret Ann Share, and her two at- tendants, Marleah Prien and Royletta Speich. The words of praise and encouragement given to the team at the half by Margaret Ann rnust have been effective, for our powerful grid- ders provided us with a breath taking game which ended in a glorious victory decided by one triumphant point, Our last year was climaxed by the pro- duction of Our Town a play which would never go over in Monroe but which turned out to be one of the mast outstanding pro- ductions in the history of the high school. lt was later presented in Whitewater at a centennial celebration. Q SENIOR PALS Many members of our class filled key po- sitions in extra-curricular activities. Mary Lu Schillinger and Helen Gruenewald were co-editors of the M BOOK as were Betty Klemm and Mary Ellen Burkhard ofthe BUL- LETIN Roger lsely called FFA meetings to order. John Maurer represented our class in forensics at the district meet in Whitewater. Our senior sportsmen were nothing to sneeze atl Our cagers went to state only ta be stopped by the state championship team, Wauwatosa, by a meager two point margin. Our own Mitchellrnan , Jerry Dwyer, capped the Southern Ten individual scaring record with a total of 206 points. He and Ernie Vogler were picked for the all-state se- cond team. Also ending his amazing athletic career was patent Bill Moon, a four year let- terman. With him went Bob Ableman, Dan Courtney ,and Bill Purcell, each one an oth- lete in the true sense of the word. With the passing of our class, Monroe High School lost one of its most outstanding baton twirlers, Pat Knaack, along with her talented squad members, Gladys Gibbons and Rosemary Gerber. Our four year stay in Monroe High School was inexpressible in wards, only our future actions will determine its true value. We are again ready to launch on a new sea of adventure-our destination this time is unknown. P00 Q?- owl A PILE OF FUN
