'- , 3=- mascoutin 1951 volume number thirty-four berlin high school berlin, Wisconsin for long and The Mascoutin Staff of Berlin High School is proud to dedicate the 1951 Mascoutin to Clay D. Lamberton who has served the school and the city for 31 years. During those 31 years Mr. Lamberton has given out 2,097 High School Diplomas. In 1920 the school board was looking for a man with a fine educational background and one who could handle a tough disciplinary problem. The school board decided Mr. Lamberton was the man for the job. During that time high schools were preparing their students for col- lege. Mr. Lamberton realized that only a small percentage of our students went on to college. He put forth a plan to have our school prepare students for college as well as to prepare those who did not go on to college for other work. He recommended that our vocational subjects be expanded. During the 1930's, when our nation was experiencing its worst eco- nomic depression, dollars were scarce. Many schools were forced to cut down and eliminate extra curriculum. However, Mr. Lamberton, seeing the need and importance of Physical Education, Home Economics, and Manual Arts, maintained them during this difficult time. He is to be con- gratulated for his excellent management of the Berlin Public schools during this critical period. Realizing that Berlin was the center of a large farm trading area, Mr. Lamberton introduced the farm agriculture course into our schools. By doing this he has made the schools serve the city by increasing its trade. Today, Berlin High School's Agriculture course is one of the best in the state. During the 1940’s Mr. Lamberton insisted on maintaining a good school. In order to do this he had to teach an almost full time schedule plus the administration of school problems. Mr. Lamberton is a graduate of Milwaukee State Teachers College. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Ripon College and received his Master of Arts degree from Northwestern. He has attended and taught many college summer school sessions. Mr. Lamberton is very well known for his public speaking and as a writer. This is only a brief sketch of the many valuable services that Mr. Lam- berton has rendered to the school and the community. We are sure that everyone who has attended Berlin High school is proud of the service this great man has given to us. The Mascoutin wishes to extend sincere wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Lam- berton for a long and happy period of retirement. faithful service C. D. LAMBERTON -3- dedication recognition of service To Miss Agnes Heaney, who has given over forty years of her life to teaching boys and girls in the Primary Depart- ment of both the Washington and Lincoln schools in Berlin, we pay tribute and extend our sincere gratitude. The Mascoutin wishes Miss Heaney many years of hap- piness and we say with a great educator: A task in life well done needs no words to give it a fitting reward -4- co-editors nan bachkal tom bombinski school board MR.

WOLF In these trying times, when the American idea is being so severely chal- lenged, the schools loom as a bulwark of strength to preserve and improve our way of life. The responsibility of the school today is to do an even more skillful job of explaining the democratic way to its younger generations. We hope that the graduates of 1951 will measure up to the great challenges and opportu- nities of this atomic age. We know that they will always cherish the years spent in Berlin High School. May this volume of the Mascoutin not only remind them of the pleasant social experiences, but also of the ideals of citizenship and personal character set up as goals to strive for in later life. — C. R. Wolf, Superintendent new directors C. F. SHAW In education lies the strength of democracy. Berlin High school is set up to give to its students a rich background in the American way of life. Our courses in government, science, English, mathematics, health and vocations help to provide a better basis for living in our complex society. Our club work, music, recreation, and sports program add enrichment to our daily living. Those of us who are in the teaching profession hope that our students will sense their responsibility in equipping themselves with the necessary tools to maintain the American tradition of freedom. — C.

It serves as a means of keeping up with news and social functions for the students. Belonging to the staff, not only provides a worthwhile activity, but also provides a means for students to demonstrate their writing ability. In addition to establishing writing talent, the Red ’n Green encourages students with artistic ability to join the staff to serve as cartoonists and mem- bers of the art department. sleuth A division of the staff, which is worthy of recognition is the commercial department. Here, after the paper has been completed, it is typed and mimeographed. This involves a tremendous amount of work and requires the effort of a re- liable group. Work is not the only factor which is connect- ed with publishing of our paper. A lot of fun is involved. Finding out the “scoops”, writing the gossip page and working together to turn out an edition of the paper enables the entire staff to feel they have accomplished something worthy of recognition. 33- ----------top picture------------- bock row: M.

Due to its large size a whole group project was almost impossible to achieve. They have taken an interest in rifle shooting and at noon many of the boys would venture over to the shop and fire rounds of shells into the movable target made by the shop boys. Another project is the tree planting program students and makes their courses fun and excit- ing. The purpose of the Science Club is to experiment and probe in the fields of science and biology. Projects in botany, zoology and astronomy were planned at the beginning of the year. The meetings are held the second Tuesday of the month and current problems of science are discussed and talked over by the members. With the coming of spring, plans for hikes were made and wild flowers and animal life were discovered. This club works hand in hand with the biology performed by the club to conserve and restore the forests of Wisconsin. -34- -----------top picture---------- D. Domohoski, B. Reese, J. Seberl, K.

Art projects and plans for the future were made at this introductory meeting. Many times after school. Freshmen could be seen carving on large bars of soap, creating a new and different type of art. Charles Olsen and John Sebert made the most creative car- vings. The girls took an interest in painting figurines. The two outstanding in this group were Cynthia Engelbracht and Betty Reese. double exposure This little group of shutter - happy students formed an active group that has worked all year with the photography department of the Mas- coutin. With these two groups working, the darkroom was kept busy most of the time. The Photography Club kept the darkroom clean and at their meetings new developments in photography were discussed. Early in March, plans for a photography con- test were drawn up, rules were made, and a photography hike was planned so the members would all have a chance to get some interesting shots. At the time this book went to press the winners had not been announced. -35- ----------- top picture ---------- G. Werch, L. Eldred, D. Arveson, W. Drecktrah, T. Fortnum, C. Knutzen, G. Kafer, V.

The boys learned to make Bar-B-Q’s, pudding and pies this year. All the chefs claim the food they turn out is most deli- cious. We hope that what they learned in Chef’s Club will come in handy some day when Mama is on a vacation. -36- homecoming — fop left — Don Klein, senior class president handing the tomahawk, a traditional homecoming ceremony, to the Junior Class officers, H.

Each class makes a float which is judged in the homecoming parade on Thursday night. The theme of the floats is to defeat the football team playing Berlin on homecoming night. The floats are judged on looks, originality, and theme. The students all enjoy this part of the school year because of the fun it creates for every student. -37- a football team back row: D.

The accident occurred early in the second quarter when West Bend was returning a punt. Tom, sophomore quarterback, tackled and stopped the West Bend runner, but the crowd, by this time standing, soon realized that all was not well on the field. The quarterback was apparently unconscious. An ambulance sped him to the hospital at Berlin where it was dis- covered that he was suffering from a broken vertebrae. The following Tuesday Tom was moved to the Wisconsin General Hospital at Madison for treatment. Out of respect for Tom, all Homecoming ac- tivities save the game and dance were canceled. The Berlin buttons were sold as usual, but the money was used to defray some of the expenses of Tom's care. This was the first of many bene- fits sponsored for him, both by the students of the high school and the local townspeople. Victor Hansen was chosen Junior Dairy- man for 1951 out of 3,000 F.F.A. youths from all over the state, who worked on dairy pro- jects. In order to obtain this honor Victor worked in competition with other dairy students, and had to get all 1st place ratings. For his pro- ject Victor worked on his father's herd of 28 head plus his own herd of three Guernsey purebreds. Part of his project work was testing milk and keeping records by which he could plan selective breeding, culling, and proper feed- ing programs. Victor has been a very active F.F.A. stu- dent. Last year he won the State Farmer Degree and other honors at the local and district contests. He won the district public speaking contest at Montello. Victor is seriously thinking of doing dairy farming after graduation.

There are two girls elected from the Freshman and Sopho- more Class, three from the Junior Class, and four from the Senior Class. The Board sponsors girl’s mixers throughout the year, the Sadie Hawkin’s Dance in the Fall, and the May Dance in the Spring. During the Christmas Season the Board packs boxes for needy families to help make their Christmas more joyous. In addition to these duties, the League helps to keep the school clean. Thus this organization is very important to Berlin High School. -45- on stage everybody Feb. 15, 1951 — 8.00 PM. This year’s Senior class play was about a Mrs. Abigail Abbott who decides the only way to keep her daughter, Susan, in Pointer college is to take advan- tage of a scholarship offered to any one who’s name is Abigail Fortitude. The scholarship hasn’t been used for years and so gobs of money has piled up. Mrs. Abigail has a terrible time convincing her daughter that this is the best thing to do. The fun really starts after Mrs. Abigail Abbott starts college and Professor Michaels falls in love with her. A great deal of credit should go to the English department of Berlin high school who made this play a great success. - 46 - mother is a freshman Mrs. Abigail Abbott Susan ..............

They make blouses and pajamas. They baked muffins and cookies and had a short course in grooming. Sophomore Home Ec. took up canning. Their sewing unit consisted of making a wool skirt, and some knitting. They studied meal planning. They also had a course on etiquette and dating. In choosing materials for our dresses which were completed by Christmas, the Senior Home Ec. class delved into a very unique and interest- ing study of color. We held a Christmas Style Show. We had a course in vocations, and one in family relations. ----- junior - senior homemakers --- This club is made up of Junior and Senior girls who are interested in furthering their do- mestic studies as well as having fun. The club’s meetings were held at noon. During the year we learned how to knit, and also held a Christ- mas party. We sponsored the Valentine's Dance and chose a King and Queen of Hearts to reign at the dance. They were Richard Jorgenson and Elaine Doro. The members all agree the objec- tives of the club were completely fulfilled. -48- the egg and i freshmen ■ sophomore homemakers The Freshman and Sophomore Homemaker's Club has carried on some very interesting activi- ties this year. From knitting to cooking we flew some articles together. In the knitting course some girls had a rough time, while others found it rather easy. In cook- ing, only fudge and cookies were made, and they tasted better than they looked. We also helped put on the Valentine's Dance, which gave us a very good chance to earn some money and cover all of our expenses. Every member. I'm sure, enjoyed all of our activities. They co-operated very well, and the activities were also carried out well. This was the first year of the Homemaker’s Club and we had a membership of about thirty girls. -49- ma and pa kettle sadie hawkins top left: Nancy Doro and Charlie Knuizen.

Every boy had to throw one of his shoes into the center of the gym floor. At the sound of the MC’s whistle the girls scram- bled to get a shoe. When she found the boy to whom the shoe belonged they had to dance the next dance. It was a lot of fun. There were many more forms of entertainment providd at this dance. bottom right: Dick Werch and Nan Bachkai drew the unlucky number and were married by the parson, Don Klein, in a mock wedding. -51 - my dear secretary A riot! That’s our office practice class. Don't get the idea we don’t learn anything. We do! We learn what every secretary should! The Office Practice Class top all classes in the business education course. We operate on a basis such as might be seen in a regular office. The basic skills of typing, shorthand, filing and learning to operate office machines are typical activities practiced. Recently we took a trip to Oshkosh Business School to learn more about secretarial schools. The course is also suppli- mented with movies about business and secre- tarial work. The office practice students are graded ac- cording to their ability to work and to learn. This is a good way to grade, because it gives employers a better chance to determine one’s ability. We are taught to work on our own. This is the best type of training that can be provided in this class. It is a great help for our future work. -52- take a note, miss smith Fun for all and food for all . Although we do not have an official slogan for the commer- cial club, this might well be very fitting for us. Under the management of our officers, vari- ous activities are carry on throughout the year. This year our officers were elected different- ly. We held a regular mock election with parties and campaigns. The Stenocrats and Speed De- mons battled for office. Two successful dances, a weiner roast, and a Christmas party provided social activity. By putting on a basketball pencil sale and selling shorthand notebooks the club was able to meet operating expenses. The club also took a trip to Oshkosh Business College and to Kimberly Clark Paper Co. in Neenah. If anyone wants to learn ways of business and salesmanship, the Comercial Club is the place to do it. This year our annual pencil sale taught us the hard knocks of salesmanship which will be valuable to those interested in business. 53- — top picture — back row: R. DeHart, W. Drecktrah, G. Kafer, J.

It's also lots of fun and an interesting organ- ization. the eyes and ears of the world Whenever our classes are supplanted by mo- vies, these boys are on the job.

There are many activities during the year, such as parties, dances and games. The G.A.A. helped sponsor the Homecoming dance plus other dances during the school year. With the money the club earned from dances and other projects they purchased a badminton set and square dance album for the whole school to use. The G.A.A. functions all year 'round, con- ducting different sports each season. The offi- cers and heads of sports for this year are: Jean Mix, president; Dianne Kwidzinski, vice presi- dent; Yvonne Zamzow, secretary-treasurer; Elaine Doro, reporter; Alice Zink, fall sports; Delores Mendleski, winter sports; Barbara Marchenkuski, basketball; Gerry .$loch, volleyball; Mary Lou Liese, spring sports.- With each girl participating in the sports events, the girls are eligible to earn their “B and chevrons throughout the school year. Mrs. Winkel is the advisor for the G.A.A., which is the largest girls’ organization in the school. -56- prompters “What's the matter with the team? Six cheerleaders, one by one, moved out on the field to lead the cheers in honor and in fight for our football team. “Fight, Team, Fight”. Again the cheers, led by the cheerleaders, rang throughout the gym during our basketball season. Cheering, as every cheerleader will tell you is lots of fun, but there are also the times of agony. Rain is dreaded by the cheerleader dur- ing the football season, just as the heat of the gym is during the basketball season. The acti- vity of getting a pep meeting ready is at times rather nerve racking. This year a “B” cheerleaders team, consist- ing of three sophomore or freshmen girls was started. The “A squad consists of six girls who are from any of the four grades. Cheerleading is open to every girl or boy who would wish to join—all are welcome. - 57 - n . a team back row-. J. Stearns, D.

They received five firsts and one second, which is the finest record they have ever attained. The Senior and Junior Bands received firsts in both concert and marching. The Mixed Chorus received a first in its Class B selections, while the Senior Band received a first in concert and marching and a second in sight reading. The Mixed Chorus participated at 1 :30 o’clock in the afternoon when they sang: “To Thee We Sing”, “The Ash Grove”, and “Lifht Thine Eyes”. The Senior Band took part in the evening program. Having heard the results of the previous Berlin contests, they were determined to win another first, which they did. They played “Hall of Fame”, “Sequoia”, and “Rendezvous”. The parade was also a huge success. Both of our bands looked and played well. -66- can't help singing junior - senior members of the girls' glee club first sopranos: M. E. Brown, E. Carpenter, J.

Following the wedding the guests attended the wedding banquet. The betrothal of the bride having been told, the day for the wedding cere- mony arrived. Preceding the ceremony, all the guests followed the wedding procession, which led to the site of the banquet. The banquet was the most enjoyable and relaxing part of the Roman wedding. The food that was served was very delicious. Entertainment was provided before, during, and after the banquet. The student guests agreed that a most enjoyable time was had by all. The Roman wedding and banquet was sponsored by the Latin Club. The preparation was hard work, but fun. It was decided that a banquet was to be had again next year. - 69 - -------------f.f.a. band -------------- top picture: G. Kofer, L. Eldred, E. Meyer, L. Eldred, A.

In the milk booth, the members showed four grades of milk and how they were rated. Rating milk, they explained, is based on taste, sediment rating, capping, and flavor. A poorly ventilated dairy barn was used as an example to show a condition which might give milk an off-flavor. In the cheese section of the show, the mem- bers showed various ratings given cheese. Cheese is judged on flavor, body, texture, color, and finish. In the butter display, visitors learned that butter, to be good, must have a clean, sweet flavor, a delectable aroma and a uniform color. As a direct result of this show, the judging team entered in the State judging contest at Madison and won first place in dairy products judging, with Walter Schmudlach being the high individ- ual judge in the contest. Myrita Rodencal, Elaine Doro, and Diane Kwidzinski were chosen dairy queens to help with the show. -72- back row.- E. Sternat, D. Posorske, V. Kirk, R. Block, J. Kettlewell, K. Kafer, L. Schultz, L.

The noon hour club fur- nishes entertainment for the rural students who have to spend their noon hour at school. Be- sides movies, the club provides amateur talent shows in the assembly. A small fee was charged to cover the cost of some of the movies. The rural students really appreciate the efforts of the noon hour committee. information for future reference A helpful group for any librarian is this group of library assistants. It is fine training as well as fun. The girls learn a great deal about how a library is run. This work is also useful to them in their own reference work. These girls give much assistance to the student body. -73- back row.- M. Nipko, B. Bella, P. Hughes, R. Klasson, E. Sternat, N. Krings. first row-. J. Ewald, A. Zink, J. Doro, N Wolff, C.

The club tries to help the members de- cide if their real interest lies in nursing. It assists the members to learn more about the require- ments, opportunities, and wages in this field. Clubs of this type are a great help to the student members. The future teachers club has the same pur- pose in mind, to help the students in their par- ticular vocational field. This year the club took a trip to Oshkosh State Teachers College on visit- ing day. The members were shown the school and were given some important information about the teaching profession. -74- so proudly we hail Berlin High School students who have won letters or chevrons in football, basketball, track and baseball.

This year Berlin’s students are well-pleased with the baseball results. It seems that there is always a crowd to watch our team play, the shouts and yells to bother them, but yet help them carry on. The familiar shouts of the umpire are heard throughout every baseball game: “You’re out , strike three , it’s a home run”. West Bend 1 1 ............. Berlin 2 Ripon 1 ...................

Mr. Sieloff, the coach, has helped to build a good team. The players all seem to enjoy the game and practice very faithfully. Whenever you pass the tennis court you will be sure to see someone out there practicing his or her game. Tennis is a competitive sport in the Little Ten. dead reckoning We bend down, put the tee in the ground, the ball on the tee, straighten up, and prepare for “dead reckoning”. From then on, the results are plainly told by the score of our game and by the look on our opponents' faces. This past year the Little Ten held one conference meet, which was at Ocon- omowoc. During the golfing season, individual meets were held with schools on an invitational basis. A team of four golfers represents each school. Golf depends upon coordination of the brain and hands and also on whether you have patience. This game you can play all your life . . . and we golfers sincerely hope that you will participate next year. -78- spring snap page J. Wild and M. Kujawa trimming windows. E. Beir is stepping high.

The next time you pass a school, pause a moment to think what that school means to humanity. Recall the long dark centuries when the masses were kept in ignor- ance—when greed and oppression ruled the world with an iron hand. From the very beginning of man's struggle for knowledge, self-respect, and the recognition of his inalienable rights, the school has been his greatest ally. We refer to the school as “common because it belongs to us all; it is ourselves working together in the education of our children. But it is a most uncommon institution. It is relatively new. It is democracy’s greatest gift to civili- zation. Thruout the world, among upward struggling peoples, wherever parents share in the aspiration of their children, the American common school is being copied. Let us cherish and improve our schools. — Joy Elmer Morgan -80-
