SCHOLARSHIPS In the past several years, individuals and local organizations have presented scholarships to members of our graduating classes. The students of Berlin High School are deeply grateful to the following, who in the past few years, have set up scholarships: Mr. and Mrs. Charles Boettge, Berlin, Wis. In memory of their son John. Mr. Charles Lewin, New Bedford, Mass. In memory of his mother. The Berlin High School Alumni Association. The Berlin Lions Club. The Berlin Rotary Club. IN MEMORIAM We would like to honor the memory of Miss Eleanor Harrington. A graduate of Berlin High School, she devoted many years to teaching. In her will she remembered Berlin High School with a bequest. In her honor the school will equip a room to be used by the Homemaking Department to stress the art of family living. ★ ★ ★ ★ Berlin High School lost one of its most loyal supporters when Archie Shonat passed away. Mr. Shonat was on the school board from May 1935 through May 1949 and served as president of the board from 1942-1947. Mr. Shonat saw Berlin High School grow from less than 250 students to over 500 students and also saw the Berlin football championships in 1945, 1953, 1954 and basketball championship in 1945. Though Mr. Shonat promoted a sound academic program for the school, it was the athletic program which drew his greatest attention. Few people can forget the experience of sitting next to Archie at a football or basketball game. Berlin High School salutes you. Your memory will long live on in the minds of past and future graduates.

Editorial Berlin High School is not just a place where knowledge is gained from books. It is more than that. It is the center of civic and community activity in the city of Berlin and throughout the surrounding area. A great many opportunities also lie within the reach of the student body. For the students desiring to further their education by entering college, and those entering the armed forces, the school obtains information and arranges interviews with repre- sentatives. The students desiring to work after graduation are aided by the testing program for job placement, and any further assistance needed is given them. The organizations of Berlin High are many, and they provide a wide range of interests for the entire student enrollment. Our music department offers excellent instru- mental and vocal training. Much of the entertainment for public and civic functions originates here. A successful club is the Future Farmers of America who are celebrating their 20th anniversary this year. Many fine farmers are coming from this chapter, equipped with the proper training to benefit the region. We at Berlin High are deeply indebted to many people for their interest in us. Besides the major civic clubs which continue to show an active interest in us, there are several organizations to which we would like to express our gratitude. Just this year the Berlin Chapman Company presented us with a golf backstop. This is greatly appreciated by everyone in school, especially the golf enthusiasts. I'd also like to give grateful recognition to the Berlin Journal for allowing us to us the Journal to inform you of the events which take place in school. In that way we are able to give you the information you deserve because of your interest in us. In these past few years we have grown immensely, not only in activity but in student representation. Since 1953, ten school districts have been attached to us. I sincerely hope that this year the MASCOUTIN will succeed in its effort to show you that Berlin High School is no longer just a city system of class rooms, but that it is truly the center of activity of a large area.
