. s' i 1 MASCOUTIN VOLUME NUMBER THIRTY-THREE BERLIN HIGH SCHOOL, BERLIN WISCONSIN INDUSTRIAL ARTS BUILDING 2 we honor MISS AUDREY BENFER Whitewater State Teachers’ College, B.E. Library, English, Dramatics MRS. P. E. HAMRE Lawrence College, B.A. English, Public Speaking, Girls’ League, Dramatics Dean of Girls MISS NONA O'CONNOR MRS. W. SEDARSKI Oshkosh State Teachers' Milton College, B.A. College, B.S., University Mathematics, Girls’ League of Chicago Library, English, Dramatics Life means little without progress. Youth mature physically with the aid of their parents, but the greatest assistance to their mental progress is given by their teachers. After high school we get our first chance to face life alone, so while in high school we are guided with this in mind. We, as students, are deeply grateful to those who help to make this progress possible. This year we dedicate the Mascoutin to Miss Benfer, AArs. Hamre, Miss O'Connor and Mrs. Sedarski. These leading faculty members are terminating their teaching days at Berlin High School. Our gratitude for their cooperation, patience, and fine understanding is most sincere. Miss Benfer will always be remembered for her bright personality, and her fine service in the library and English department. The spirit in which she faces life since her recent mishap is remarkable and gallant. Mrs. Hamre will long be remembered as Dean of Girls and a fine example she is. Her exceptional cooperation and patience in senior dramatics work plus class room service make us deeply grateful to her. Miss O’Connor has given to us, by rendering much in the English department and library. Her broad knowledge and real life experience has given her students a true education. Mrs. Sedarski's willing and patient work in mathematics truly explains the stu- dents' gratitude to her. She has always exemplified the true character of a teach- er and has fulfilled anyone's yearning to learn. May they have a fine life, for contributing so much to ours. 8 TO RCMEMUCR There is a part of high school life which no words or pictures can fully describe, expressed in the school spirit and anticipation of the under-classmen, and the seniors' sudden pang of realization that these are their last days at good old Berlin High School. This is the spirit that the Mascoutin staff hopes you will regain as you look through this book in years to come. My sincere hope is that this annual will then be a reminder of your golden high school days and that you will gain many enjoyable moments from it. Joan Younglove, Editor. - 4 - PRESENTING BOTH FEET ON THE GROUND Faculty Administration BUCKLING DOWN Classes SADDLE SHOES AND BOBBY SOX Departments Clubs Activities OH, 'DEM GOLDEN SLIPPERS Prom Social Life Homecoming FEET'SURE IN SPORTS Main Sports Athletic Clubs Minor Sports - b - THE NEW LOOK INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION BUILDING Education is progress; progress is educa- tion: Thus, these two go hand in hand. Neither one is possible without the proper facilities. So this year Berlin High has pro- gressed by bringing about the means for a better education and this better education means progress. The new manual arts building is proof positive. Former overcrowded conditions made this type of education both inconveni- ent and inadequate. Today, with space to work in and equipment to use, the boys are learning twice as much and learning it twice as well. 6 THE NEW BUILDING INDUSTRIAL ARTS The new Industrial Arts Buiding is divided into two sections. The western section, which is 40' by 60', is used for drafting, drawing, a cassrooms, machine shop, and is the smaller of the two. Mr. Flanagan’s office is also on this side. The eastern section is 60' by 60'. It is used for farm mechanics, general me- chanics, and welding. Farm mechanics con- sists of a wood shop, sheet metal shop, cold metal shop, and hot metal shop. The build- ing also has a small tool room, paint room, and storage room. 7 8 f££T OH TH£ CttOOHO STEP LIGHTLY Our experiences in the classroom and in the opportunities offered in related school activities develop not only our basic abilities and skills, but also such important attributes as self-control, responsibility, and initiative. Intelligent action is essential . . . knowl- edge alone is not enough. Education for citizenship begins with life in the school. Here in their everyday rela- tions are developed many important charac- teristics so important when we take our place in adult society. 9 SCHOOL BOARD MR. LEONARD KRESAL MR. HUGH SMITH DR. L. J.

Science The annual issues of The Mascoutin present interesting records of the steps which take the members of each graduating class in turn to the close of their high school days. Many of the steps recorded for the Class of 1950 during their four years of high school were man-size strides in their progress toward leadership and achievement. The best wishes of their teachers and school- mates go with the Seniors as they step off on their own toward their distant goals. - 11 - — C. D. Lamberton FACULTY MR. C. R.

GEOMETRY NOTEBOOKS One of the most interesting projects of this year's geometry class was the making of note- books pertaining to the use of geometry in various vocations. The notebooks handed in by the students were not only interesting but also very colorful. This project covered a wide field ranging The Senior English work was made more comprehensive this year by the purchase of new English books. They are very invest- ing, as well as educational. We read litera- ture from countries in ail parts of the world. from pottery, to the construction of geometri- cal figures in wood. By making these book- lets, the students proved to themselves that geometry is not just a school subject, but it is used in many types of work throughout the world. —Jean Mix The new book aso coniained Macbeth”. The class found Macbeth” so fascinating that they ordered the movie. This movie proved to be just as interesting as the play. - 24 - MARCHING AHEAD FAITH WEIS JEAN MIX NAN BACHKAL MERLE KRUEGER The best way to learn good citizenship and democracy is by actually putting our ideas into practice.

POT POURRI 1. Good Old Days 2. You Don’t Say 1. Big Boy 2. Domestically Inclined 1. Come and Get It 2. Prim and Proper The assembly programs we have had this year were really wonderful. They were en- tertaining as well as educational. The two out- standing ones in my opinion were Hobbies are My Business” and the musical show pre- sented by four “lovely ladies of song . I know the students of Berlin High School really appreciated the efforts of the faculty to bring these programs to us. — Lucille Sobieski Each year as school begins and we become accustomed to our work, our thoughts turn to other activities outside of the classroom. It is these other interests and hobbies that make our days in school more fun. Many clubs and organizations give the students an op- portunity to bring these hidden talents to light for future use. - 33 - - 34 - SAbOte SHOES- ncmy sox A great deal of time is spent by the stu- dents of Berlin High in club activities. New talents and ambitions are discovered all the time as the groups gather together to work and play in their meetings. As students we appreciate the many op- ortunities available to us by our various or- ganizations and their co-operative advisors. Those interested in music find lots of fun working with Mr. Franz. Our art students, nature lovers, those with domestic interests, athletes, hobby lovers, actors, and many oth- ers find provisions in Berlin High which en- courage them as well as gives them enjoy- ment. — G.

The music department did very well by receiving five ratings of first and one of second. No one was more pleased than Mr. Franz. - 37 - WITH A SONG IN OUR HEARTS MIXED CHORUS GIRLS: Jane Anderson, Kathryn Arneson, Nan Bachkal, Joyce Bartol, Norene Bartol, Betty Besaw, Virginia Boyson, Mary Ellen Brown, Carol Bush, Marilee Cate, Patsy Cross, Dolores Dehn, Mary Jane Domask, Jeannette Ewald, Donna Flan- agan, Nancy Flanagan, Lorraine Gallert, Ade Mae Gallup, Ervella Gallup, Joan Helmuth, Mary Ellen Janes, Carol Jen- sen, Judy Jensen, Dolores Kasuboski, Dorothy Kasuboski, Carol Kreuger, Merle Krueger, Mary Kujawa, Diane Kwidzinski, Mary Kathryn Lewis, Mary Lou Liese, Ruth Liese, Beatrice Markofski, Irene Markofski, Jean Mix, Carol Meverden, Jeannette Moldenhauer, Marilyn Moldenhauer, Mary Ellen Morrissey, Phyllis Morrow, Beverly Mosher, Jackie Nicolet, Gloria Noebel, Nancy Polakowski, Donna Resop, Lucille Sobieski, Mary Ellen Stahoviak, Elaine Stevensen, Carmen Taylor, Beverly Walkush, Faith Wais, Janet Weis, Karlyn Weiske, Gloria Werch, Lorrelle Ann Wood, Joan Younglove, Yvonne Zamzow.

FORENSIC Speech work at Berlin High is becoming a very popular activity and is gaining mo- mentum year after year. Better facilities have brought about better student interest. Berlin has been very successful in Forensic contests that are held annually. This year Berlin was host to the Little Ten Fresh. - Soph. meet. Next year we will be host to the League Forensic Contest. At these meets students engage in the finest competition offered. They meet new friends and receive rewards for work well done. A student also learns and lives sports- manship. Forensic training is very education- al. It teaches one to speak in front of a group with confidence. It gives a person a sense of security. Those two elements alone, confidence and security, will make the road to success shorter. More students, however, are urged to par- ticipate in a speech activity. You have every- thing to gain and nothing to lose. If more people could get results with their voice we would be living in a better world. ----- LIBRARY ASSISTANTS --------- STANDING: P.

The most interesting was the comparison of the types of soils on a nearby farm. The club is found to be enjoyed by both boys and girls. You learn many interesting things about your natural environment and how to replenish soil fertility. HOMEMAKING The Home-making Club is an organization open to any girl who has had at least one year of Home Economics. The girls give par- ties and teas, sponsor dances, put on style shows, and have many other activities. It is a club where everyone takes part in activities and one that provides a lot of fun and en- joyment. Miss Steuber is the club advisor who offers any help and suggestions we want. We like to encourage girls to join the club, because what they learn here will be of great value to them in later years. — Gloria Werch F.F.A. OFFICERS President, Gloria Werch; Vice President, Gretchen Viertel; Secretary, Judy Doro; Treasurer, Beverlee Walkush; Historian, Doris Bednarek; Editor, Lucille Sobieski; Parliamentarian, Dolores Lesniak. MENDING OUR WAYS HOMEMAKING Homemaking is a course which most girls find interesting if they like to cook, sew and know home economics. It is advisable for each girl to have at least one year of home- making. During the school year she will learn the basics of sewing, cooking, and general knowledge of the home. She will also learn good manners and personal care. In ad- vanced homemaking we learn about food preservation, sewing of a complicated gar- ment, child study, and preservation of foods. In the final year of homemaking we learn about the necessities in making a happy home. We learn flower arrangement and the construction of a woolen outfit. Interior de- corating is the highlight of third year home- making. Homemaking is very interesting and also very useful to every girl, as it can always be used, regardless of age or choice of ca- reer. — Doris Bednarek A GOOD BOOK I HAVE READ I read Rabble in Arms by Kenneth Roberts. many historians, is shown to have been one It is an exciting story of the American Revo- of our ablest leaders.

The F.F.A. gives the farm boys an oppor- lunity to show what they can do along many lines of work in connection with agriculture, it carries with it great responsibilities, espe- cally for the officers, committee chairmen, and chairmen of special events. The Farm Skills Contest gave us a chance to demonstrate some of the modern farm ma- chinery in the form of contests, and to show skill in plowing under cornstalks. Other events included the Parent and Son Banquet, a Pub- lic Speaking Contest, and F.F.A. sports, which include basketball and horse-shoe. A number of field trips were taken throughout the year, many of them being class activities. A seven and one-half day tour of southwestern Wis- consin and Iowa will wind up this school year’s activities. It proves to be very educa- tional as well as a lot of fun. The newly completed agriculture depart- ment will offer students in the future a better chance to carry on the activities of the F.F.A. All the activities of the year take considerable planning on the part of all and if they are well planned, usually turn out successfully. — Darrel Rodencal In building a house a strong foundation is needed or it will crumble and fall.

Most of this surplus comes from soil depleting crops. Let's cut down on these crops and turn to grassland farming which will give us a surplus of organic matter and other plant food elements. By doing this we not only get rid of the problem of surplus grains but we are getting a surplus of soil fertility instead, which can easily be stored for future use. Yes, there is a definite need for grassland farming today. A need great enough to cause our own state Testing is one activity in the Agriculture De- partment which every boy can take advan- tage of. The advantages received through testing are quite profitable in many instances. Several of the advantages received through testing are weeding, feeding, and breeding of the dairy herd. Without testing the dairy herd it is impossible to improve the herd to a great extent, because the farmer does not know which cows are the best producers.

Grassland farming is wise farming for today, while at the same time, it is saving soil for posterity. The wise old owl, a time honored symbol of the FFA, would say, fertility is security . Good soil fertility is the most secure investment we can have. Turning to grassland farming will mean more security for the fu- ture . might be able to tell which cows are pro- ducing the quantity of milk, but the quality has a large effect upon it. Through testing, the best producers can be identified and from those your future herd can be taken. Therefore, I believe it would be a good policy for every Agriculture student to add to his Improvement Projects, Testing, which is a big step toward a better farming program. — Richard Bloch - 49 - LIGHTS!

The play, which was mainly a comedy, gave those who par- ticipated in it an opportunity to show their talent in his or her special way. The audience seemed to be well pleased and as a whole the play could be considered a success. Dramatics Clubs are organized to encour- age and stimulate interest for students in act- ing.

Mem- bers in this club have to be either Latin stu- dents or students who have taken Latin pre- viously. The main purpose of the club is for the members to be able to understand better the ways of the ancient Romans. Among the many activities of the Latin Club this year was the Roman Banquet. This ban- quet had been planned thoroughly and was just the way you would have seen it long ago. The Latin Club is the only club that holds its meetings in regular class periods, due to the fact that all of the members, or a majority of them are Latin students. These meetings, held every third week, break the monotonous routine of Latin and make the student enjoy Latin more. — Richard DeHart - 55 - INFORMATION PLEASE J. Moldenhauer, D. Fortnum, J. Mix, P.

RED ’N GREEN Publishing a school paper is one of the most important and biggest school activities. Working on the Red ’n Green staff not only gives the student an opportunity to show his journalistic abilities, but is also lots of fun. During the past year we have strived to produce a better Red ’n Green, with articles of interest to all students. Excellent co-oper- ation was shown by all staff members and by our advisors in helping to publish our school paper.

Originally, the main purpose of a year-book was to record the achievements of the Senior Class. We have come a long way since then. Many more clubs and ac- tivities have evolved and more are being added yearly. This necessitates more responsibility for the individual members of the staff and also consider- able cooperation. Again this year the various English classes contributed by writing short articles on phases of school life. Some students were excused from classes to complete necessary staff work and to en- able the printer to meet the deadline. We hope that all of you who assisted feel that you have taken part in a worth while and beneficial project. — Mr. Hafeman - 57 - SOUP'S ON The Chefs' Club is an organization for senior boys. It is promoted for the purpose of learning how to cook and bake with the idea of having a grand time doing it. I am sure that all boys that participated had lots of fun and enjoyed having Miss Steuber as their supervisor. Why! who knows, maybe in years to come the fellows will have to take over the women’s duties in the kitchen, and we just want to be prepared. — Gavin Weis The Chefs’ Club is made up of a group of senior boys who have become interested in the art of cooking, one of the few things the girls have us out-classed. With the help of Miss Stueber we have learned fast. Now when anything we bake falls on our feet it just gives us a bad bruise instead of break- ing them. We may not be outstanding cooks, but we did manage to sell the fudge ???... even if we didn't get a commission from the hospital. — Jim Ceman - 58 - MODERN MICHEL-ANGELOS TOP ROW.- J. Nicolet, R.

New on the scene this year was an en- thusiastic group of students with an artistic trend. The quarry was the background of an out-door sketching party one Sunday after- noon in September. During the winter, a trip to Fond du Lac to attend the Rural Art Show proved of value to the participants, even though the tempera- ture was sub-zero. Prof. Schiwalbach of the University of Wis- consin Art Dept, was scheduled for an hour assembly demonstration. His lecture was of practical value in the application of art to home decoration. We hope that more time can be found next year and that the membership of the Art Club will expand and progress. Excerpt from Pot Spiczenski's Winning Essay America must obtain an honorable peace for herself and show the world how to secure a just and lasting peace. Communism is advancing on every front, bringing with it strife and riot. The people of the world must be shown that commu- nism will not bring a just and honorable peace. It is he duty of every American to help in this. Education will be the basis for an honorable world peace. The people of America and the world must learn to consider the rights and pri- vileges of their neighbors. We Americans have made a good start towards this. So it is up to America to take the lead and show the world the way to a secure peace”. STANDING: B. Blackbourn, B. Gonyo, D. Arveson, D. Fortnum, B. Buchholz, C. Boyd. SITTING: J. Stearns, P.

These are the years when we tend to go so- cial. Not only at parties and dances, but our experiences within the class-room, at the noon period, and at a basketball game—all give us the opportunity to express ourselves in our desire to achieve a personality which is pleas- ing. In a sense we are constantly experiment- ing with our fellow students and teachers in developing social poise. The final result should be a well-balanced individual, aware of his powers and short-comings, but happy in the knowledge of acceptance by a group. - 61 STEPPING ON A CLOUD KING CHARLES KNUTZEN The 1950 Junior Prom is one thing that I will never forget. It was the most exciting experience of my high school career. The music, decorations, and the people were wonderful. The part I liked the most was the grand march. I have never had such a thrill in my life. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER . . . I will always remember the most glorious night of my life thus far. Even though I was tired and uncomfortable because of formal clothing, I will cherish that night. Of course you know by now what night I mean, the night of the annual Junior Prom.

The parade, which preceded the game, helped to add to the nervous tension of it all. The floats were exceptional in quality. High- est honor in the judging was awarded to the Juniors, though all classes deserve recognition for their wonderful work. The night of the game proved to be rainy, but the team's spirit was not dampened. The Seniors will surely hold the 1949-1950 home- coming as one of their dearest memories. - 64 - HAVING FUN One day in April, Berlin High School was honored by an excellent singing group, “The Charm Quartette”. The girls treated us to quartettes, trios, duets, and solos. Some songs were classic, while others were popular, such as the numbers from “Carousel and “South Pacific . This program was greatly enjoyed by the student body. — Bea Markofski - 65 - 'f££T SitftE IN SPORTS ■i — GOOD WILL AND GOOD FUN — Just as important as academic work is de- veloping our bodies through sports. Our aca- demic work in the classroom develops our minds and to equalize this we should have a certain amount of recreation and activity in sports. We have many opportunities for develop- ing and training our bodies in the sports ac- tivities offered here at Berlin High. By par- ticipating we learn to co-operate and to get along with others. This we can apply in later years towards better citizenship. - 67 - RAIN OR SHINE FOOTBALL “A” BACK: W. Alexander, R. Stearns, R. Sternat, J. Ceman, B. Tougher, G. Weis, C. Knutzen, J. Hintz, R.

All day we had hoped and prayed that it wouldn’t rain, and now during the beginning of the first quarter it was drizzling. I remem- ber cheering in the rain and then running back to the umbrella. It was the Homecoming Game, 3rd quarter. It could be anyone’s game. All of a sudden the tables turned, for it was now Waupun’s ball, with about three minutes left to play. The score was 7 to 0 at the end of the game. Credit to the boys who played a well - fought game and a heart- breaker. — Janet Wild When eating your school lunch at Berlin High you must have the talents of a track man, (probably in the 100 yd. dash category), of a scientist at sneaking into line, of an In- dian, that you may squat down when eating on the bleachers, and then you eat, I hope. — Don Klein THEY GOT THEIR FEET IN IT BOTTOM: R.

You don't really know how interesting this game is until you play it and get into some action.

You learn how to cooperate with your fellow players. You learn that if you fail to do your job you may That which I shall always remember is the night of October 14, when the Berlin grid squad invaded the town of Oconomowoc.

CHEER - LEADING This year Berlin High School had a B team cheering squad to help cheer our “B” team to victory. Berlin has not had a “B team squad for four years and definitely I played basketball this year because I think it’s a very interesting game. Without teamwork the team would fall apart, and be- needed one. The cheerleaders sincerely hope that in the future years we will always have a “B team squad to cheer prospective champs on to victory. ing part of an organization like that makes you feel that you're worth something. — Bob Wo If - 72 - LEAVE IT TO US BASKETBALL “B” TEAM BACK: V.

Don’t you want to cheer so our high scorer makes the decisive basket of the game? That's the kind of spirit we have at Berlin High whenever there’s a basketball game. When such spirit is surging you can be sure of winning that game. — Beo Markofski - 73 - CINDERMEN TOP ROW: G. Moldenhauer T. Baehr, B. Bahr, D. Covill, R. Petruschke, J. Reh- bein, F. Hobbs, G.
