As we flip the switch we are a- ware of a queer sensation. As we get our bearings, we are back at the be- ginning of our Freshman year, and the sensation was pure fright. The suspense finally ended when the Juniors made us bona fide members of B.H.S. Tom Duesler was elected as our president and got our class off to a good start. We were very active in extra-curricular activities such as band, chorus, ath- letics, forensics, and newspaper work. Margreth Hosking was elected Home- coming representative. Pete Trainor represented us on the Student Council. Three cheerleaders were chosen from our class: Norita Eveland, Margreth Hosking, and Shirley Ash. As was a custom, we put on the annual Christ- mas party for the rest of the students with the aid of our advisor, Mr. But- teris. Once again we return to the laboratory time machine and this time we flip the switch marked 1952 that whirls us back to our Sophomore year. Our membership has depreciated from 33 to 32, with the loss of Leatrice Retrum and Peter Thompson to Hollandale and the gain of Allan Hixon. We have Tom Clerkin leading us this year with the aid of our advisor, Mr. Schaefer. This year, feeling more at home we are even more active in school activi- ties. From our class we have seven boys on the football team, ten on the basketball team, and eight taking part in forensics. Four of the eight school cheerleaders, Shirley Ash, Norita Eveland, Margreth Hosking, and Helen Zepplin, were elected from our class. Jerry Blaser was our Student Council representative. Mary Ann Ryan was chosen to represent us on the Home- coming court of honor.. On October 16, 1952, we sponsored a hayride for the entire school. When we press the button to 1953, things really begin to happen. Proud- ly we are now known as upper classmen. Our number has decreased again, this time to 29, with the loss of Tom Watkins to Beaver Dam, Allan Hixon to Monroe, Evelyn Meili to Dodgeville, and Ethel Erickson and Arnold Nelson at home. We are joined by Mary Enloe from Mt. Horeb and Allen Henry from Dodgeville. This year we have seven lettermen and six cheerleaders in our midst, not to mention all the Juniors in band, chorus, newspaper work, ahd forensics. Lucille Peterson represented us at Homecoming and Tom Cler- kin on the Student Council. Bill Brennan was elected president of the class and Mrs. Punzel was our advisor. One of the highlights of the year was initiating the Freshmen which turn- ed out to be lots of fun. Next came our class play Glamor Boy' which with the help of Mrs. Collins and Mr. Smith was a huge success. It was a great day, too, when our long awaited class rings arrived.The biggest thrill of all was presenting our Prom. Monty Hacker furnished the music. Bill Brennan and Arbutus Bohle reigned as king and queen to the theme Apple Blossom Time’. Now, rather sadly, we come to the last button marked 1954. It represents our last year at B.H.S. Pete Trainor was elected class president and Mr. Smith was our class advisor. This was really a big year for us withan annual to put out, class pictures class play, Homecoming, and all the activities that go with graduating. Home- coming was held January 8, with music by Dan Garson. Audrey Owens and Gerald Cork reigned as royal couple, and Shirley Ash represented the senior class on the court of honor. Our class play, Beauty and the Beef , was presented April 29, and with the help of Mrs. Wittenwyler, was a success. And so ends our trip in the time machine and also our school days at B.H.S. but although our school days are ended, there are still all these Mem- ories and many more that will not be soon forgotten by the graduating class of 1954 as they travel on the highways of life. Dick Moyer and Margreth Hosking CLASS WILL We, the members of the Senior Class of Barneveld High School of 1954, having been thoroughly examined and tested by capable psychiatrists and brain specialists and pronounced reasonably sane and able to negotiate such an important and vital document, do hereby execute and declare this to be our last will and testament.

Witnesses: Mary Ann Ryan, Helen Zepplin Alice Campbell-Attorney at Law CLASS PROPHECY It was a very nice, sunny May 21, 1964, and I was going to work at the corner of Fifth and Main Street. A Newsboy came up to me and asked me if 1 wouldn't like to buy a paper. This is an extra special edition he said. It has a special article written in it by the Barneveld Daily Drovers Journal Pick-up man about the Senior Class of 1954. When I heard this, I immediately bought one and started to read the article. This is what it said: Tom Clerkin is married and living down at Belleville where he is head Basketball Coach at the high school. He said he had a fine bunch of boys and the way the season was going he thought they would be playing in the State Tournament. Harvey Theobald is running the farm with his dad and still trying to make it from Barneveld to Riley to pick up Audrey in record time. He says he likes to go to dances at Club 18. Mary Ann Ryan is marr- ied and living on a farm down in Jonesvalley just above the Jonesvalley School Mary Ann said it didn't seem like home without the patter of little feet around the house, so Tom bought her a little pup. Tom Duesler is backfield coach of the Los Angeles Rams football team. He flies back to Barneveld on week ends and while there he spends much of his time on the outskirts of Barneveld. Jerry Blaser and Ronald Bunbury are the co-owners of Club 18, Club 14, and Club 51 in Wisconsin and now they have left for Las Vegas, Nevada, to invest some of their savings and drum up a little more business. Gerald Cork is now Captain Cork in the Air Na- tional Guard. He is trying awful hard to get a few more recruits for the Food Service Department. He says he gets a kick out of teaching the boys how to peel potatoes. Frank Erickson is farming down by Black Earth. He has to batch it right now but he says it won’t be long now until he has a housekeeper. Helen Zepplin has continued to keep on with music and she is now teach- ing some of the concert players a few tricks. Reginald Brattlie is president of the First National Bank in Madison and really handling the money. Mar- greth Hosking is in Chicago where she is a cover girl for Woman's Home Companion and a model for Sears Roebuck. Douglas Carden has left for Africa with his private airplane where he plans to do elephant hunting Shir- ley Moyer is working for the ROSCO Appliances Company in Madison and she is still trying to get that guy from Arena. Tom Frame is in Alaska where he is a fur trapper and a geat bear hunger. Donna Walstead is married and living on an Arneson farm south of Barn- eveld Lucille Peterson is working in Madison at Thorpe Financing Company but she still has much time for dancing and visits from Hollandale. Mary En- loe now lives on a neat little farm at Blue Mounds. There were several small children playing in the yard '■he day the pick-up man was there so it looks like Mary and her husband will have plenty of help in the future. Anna Mae Arndt is at home, still qoing with that guy from Arena. She is seriously thinking about making her permanent residence there. Dale Olson is running his dad's farm down at Walnut Hollow. He just can t seem to find a su table housekeeper though. Bill Brennan is teaching Chemistry at Mt. Hor- eb now and a few of the students were giving him a rough time (Like he used to do at Barneveld) Helen Meyer is working in Madison at the Tenny Building and still looking for that certain guy. Dick Moyer has bought out the Jack Benny television show and has his own jokes and comedy programs. Alice Campbell is an English teacher in Barneveld High School. She says the students haven’t improved a bit. Allen Henry has retired and is living in his mansion in Milwaukee. Peter Trainor has just taken over the job as depot agent in Barneveld now. He plans to convert the building into a Bus terminal later. Norita Eveland is married and she and her husband are living in Platteville, as her husband is a Professor there. Audrey Owens is a gym class teacher in Barneveld and we hear she made a big hit with the guys at the University and is still trying to decide which one it will be. Shirley Ash is a secretary in Madison. She is married and her husband is also employed in Madison. Fred Segebrecht has finished a short course in Ag. at the University and is now married and running a farm of his own. When I was finished reading this article I was quite sure that the Class of 1954 was every bit as good as the people thought they were. Fred Segebrecht Lucille Peterson PROM AND HOMECOMING Our 1953 Junior prom was held on April 28, in the High School Gym. King Bill Brennan and Queen Arbutus Bohle led the Grand March followed by David Arnold and Evelyn Meili, Reginald Brattlie and Carol Jean Burreson, and Doug Carden and Donna Varcoe. Music was provided by Monty Hacker’s orchestra. The setting was an apple orchard. The theme, “Apple Blossom Time’’. The colors were pink and white. The gym was decorated with pink and white apple blossoms, with a ceiling of pink and white balloons. Our 1954 Homecoming was held on January 8. The Dan Garson orchestra furnished the music. Our Queen was Audrey Owens escorted by King Gerald Cork. The Court of Honor consisted of Shirley Ash and Jerry Blaser, Mary Arnold and Pete Trainor. Avis Poast and Reginald Brattlie, Marilyn Paulson and Jim Erickson. Vicky Tilley and Bobby Cork carried the crown and our 1953 Homecoming Queen, Magie Grimstad, crowned the queen.

JUNIOR CLASS We returned to Barneveld High on September 1, 1953, to find that our class enrollment was down to fifteen. We lost Norene Reuter to Spring Green Eugene Budd to Hollandale. and Walter Evans is at Home, while Harold Thorpe came from Mineral Point. Being the smallest class in school, the Juniors were very active in extra- curricular activities as well as academic achievements. We had six boys on the football squad, six boys on the basketball team and a total of four Let- ter Men in our class. Three girls were cheerleaders and several students are in band, chorus, and on the newspaper staff. Mary Arnold was chosen to re- present our class on the court of honor for Homecoming this year. One of the Highlights this year was the initiating of those beloved fresh- men. We all had a lot of fun and believe it or not, although they had a pretty rough time, they all came out of it alive. Next came our class play Finders Creepers' which was a big success. Then that long waited day ar- rived when we received our class rings, our last and greatest highlight came on May 8, when we presented our prom with music by Dan Garson and his orchestra.

They were awarded a trip to the Green Lake State F.F.A. Convention. The F.F.A. speaking contest was held in Dodgeville this year.
