After two weeks of getting used to high school, the soph- omores took time out to initiate their interiors, the fresh- men. They smeared us with lipstick and every time we met a sophomore we had to how, but the biggest part of the ini- tiation and most horrible was when we all had to wear big green crepe paper ribbons. From the large group of boys in our freshmen class, only three of them reported for football. They all showed great promises for future team members. Five more re-o ported for basketball and showed prospects for the years to follow. During our freshmen year, three of our class dropped out; Vera Smith, Fred Ryan, and Earl Williams. Esther Bakken came to Black Earth from Mount Horeb, adding one to our class. . In the beginning of our sophomore year we found our class lacking four more of its members. Those missing were Mary Brunner who went to Edgewood at Madison; Harvey Duessler moved to Marshall; Esther Ripp and Ger: main Faust went to Middleton. Later in the fall Esther Baku ken moved to Middleton but was replaced by Audrey Schwartz, who quit later in the year. Our Junior Year was the big year, presenting th commun- ity with the class play entitled Girl Shy , under the direction of Mrs. Bussewitz. Later in the spring, on April twenty-sixth came the big event of the year, the Junior Prom. The theme was Paper moon and music was furnished by Norm Kingsley and his orchestra. John Aeschlimann was king, choosing Betty Schulenberg as queen to reighn with him. Mary Ellen Ryan quit school to help at home and Marion Cushman moved to Barneveld. All that finished their Junior year returned in the fall of 1946 to finish their last year of high school life. In the month of November 1946, we presented our class play, HThe Groom Said No with Bussewitz directing. On December twenty- seventh, the Senior class put on the uSenior Ball: The theme for this was White Christmasi'. Norm Kingsley and his or- chestra again furnished the music. The class President, Betty Handel and her escart, Michael Borman led the Grand March. Betty Handel John Ae schlimann Dick Bardsley Lyle Bar sne s 5 Don Bergum Mary Ann Bollig Alan Fesenfeld Class of '47 Now if you don't mind a rhyme or two. Weill present a few to -day to you. Weill tell of the seventeen in our class Of the beauty and wisdom of each lad and lass. Some are good looking -- some are not. But on the whole we're a fair looking lot. Weill apologize and do it gladly. The president of our class is Betty. When things turn up she's always ready. Although her studies may be hard, She always has good marks on her card. Johnny Aeschlimann is next we see, When he finished high school a mechanic he'll be. His eyes are blue, his hair is brown-- If you want him he'll be in Cross Plains town. Richard Bardsley is next we view, Any question he'll argue through. His athletic ability is alright; But in bookkeeping he sure is a. fright. Deanies that short, curly haired lad - Don't you think he looks a lot like his dad? He bothers the teachers and has great fun, If they scold, he laughs at what he has done Donald Bergum--the pride of our class He's smarter than any lad or lass. When it comes to athletics he's good no doubt And he's never seen to wear a pout. Mary Ann isn't one of the bashful sort Except in class or giving a report. She has blue eyes and light brown hair And seldom refuses to take a dare. Fezz. is the guy with the five by five style, When something comes up, he helps all the while He's running around from morning 'til night But always is working when a teacher's in sight. Roland Kading Lurlene Kahl Vivian Lee Willis Power 5 Eddie Punswick Lorene Sale Anna Thony J ane Urban Lois Obright Gladys Ander son Next, we see is Roland Kading In most of his studies he has a fine rating. In classes he doesn't have much to say But he can answer a question any day. Lurlene is the girl with the big blue eyes As she walks to her clas how often she sighs, She has a loud voice with plenty to say And she holds her own in most every way. Although Vivian is very small . His knowledge isn't proportional at all He never speaks loud or distinct He does much better with pen and ink. Weive still another little short lad But Billy never seems to be sad. He has a keen expression; with dimpleless grin That he wears all the time -- whether out or in. Eddie is one of great independence He comes to school with irregular attendance He too--1ike a great many more of the boys Likes to argue and make a whole lot of noise. Lorene is the girl with the curly hair With large brown eyes that warn Beware She's also one of great independence But she comes to school with regular attendance. Annags the girl with dark brown hair She has dancing brown eyes and skin very fair. She goes with a guy from Arena; named Frankie Anna's quiet as a mouse and never gets crankie. The girl who likes to read is Jane A telephone operator sheill be itis plain, Her brown hair is bound to curl She's about as quiet as any girl. Lois is the girl with the long dark hair When eyer you need her she'll be there She thinks the paratroopers are really grand Especially Herbie----Ohhh that man! Andy's the girl with the big bright smile To get what she wants she'll walk a mile. On a dance floor she's quick and sharp as a razor As far as men go there's no sex that's crazier. Now don't you think we're a pretty fair lot? A group who'll be always on the dot? We have struggled hard with the fond desire To finish together: else we'll surely expire.

Soon he was fast asleep and he had the most-interesting dream, that start- ed with a familiar figure. I wonder who it could be. It looks like Donald Bergum but he appears to be years older. Just look at the calendar showing the year --1957. But what is Don doing? He seems to be helping crippled people. I've got it.' Don has be- come a chiropractor and a successful one by the appearance or several patients who are being greeted by an attractive blonde girl who looks 1ike--why, it is: Mary Ann Bollig . So she is Don's receptionist and by all appearances, she's wearing a wedding ring. But that wasn't such a surprise. What is this coming to the door. An exquisitely dressed woman with a beautiful hair -do. It's Gladys Anderson: she's a beauty culturist now. She certainly has gone places?! Now dreams traveled out on the buSy section of town--the street: iWhat a surprise greets our eyes: Fesenfeld's Garage with -- what's that on the window? i There's a Ford in your future. I always thought Alan was interested in Chevrolets. He evident- ly has changed his mind--but hwo is this coming down the street? It looks like a school teacher, and it is'. It's Lois Obright who is just going home after a trying day at the school. I hear this younger generation is a difficult group to teach. Well, I think I'lIbuy my wife a present for her birthday. Entering the store, I see a familiar clerk who resembles Lorene Sale, she's just as short as always but she makes a wonderful clerk. Standing in the store and looking across the street, I can see the telephone office and answering the calls is Jane Urban, talking just as fast as ever. She used to say more in two minutes than most people could say in ten. Another character has entered the scene and to my surprise, it's Anna Thony Un'rs. Frankie Ingoldi and her two little boys, Frankie, Jr. and Johnnie. I hear she and her husband are running a farm. A great life, no doubt. As I approached the street there whizzed past a large trnck pulling a semi-trailor. But that driver looked like someone I should know. Of course, itis .Tohn Aeschliman. Never did I think he would be a truck driver. Walking farther on and entering a doctor's office, I am greeted by a familiar blond girl who seems to be a nurse and well experienced. It's Betty Handel, who always said she wanted to be a nurse or stenographer rather.than get married. Apparently she said the truth by the looks of her third finger,on her left hand. While sitting in the doctor's office, a woman come in and is greeted by Betty, Hi, Lurlene, how's the sick boy? She must have married her Mazo man after all. And I always thought she en- joyed taking over as a teacher. This is a surprise!.' So, as I started down the street again, a sign in the window attracts my attention and what did it say? ? ? Have your Photo taken. PHOTO STUDIO, PROP. Roland Kading. He had taken up photography instead of being disappointed in love, a nice occupation. tphotographerJ What's this? ? '? I'm moving out into the country, that sure is a nice chicken farm over there. But what's this name on the mailbox? Edward Punswick. It couldn't be. He and his wife aren't running a chicken farm? And traveling to the neighboring farm another familiar name is seen. Vivian Lee. I suppose he's just as bashful as he used to be. But I must be getting back so I guess I'll take a plane. After all I've gone a long way. 'Upon entering the ticket office, a familiar voice speaks my name and there keeping books is -- YOUiD never guess it! Dick Bardsley. I wonder if he's on the job like he was in his school days ? ? ? ? ? Climbing aboard the plane, I glanced at the fellow who is going to be my pilot and to my surprise, it's Lyle Barsness who was always so interested in planes that they came before history eny day. Well, I still feel safe. So now in returning to Black Earth, It glance out of the plane window and see smoke rising from the chimney of a. familiar house. The Powers household is all asleep, but itls almost time to milk the cows, Bill ---------- Mr. Bronson suddenly awoke ----- Ah! .' .' .'

Everyone agree's they have been a real asset to our ischool. After completing their Freshmen year at Black Earth, Beverly Wherle and Allen Stoppleworth transferred to other schools. This vacancy was filled by Flora Belle Hauge and Alfred Brunner. Five Junio'rs participate in band and seven have added their melodious voices to the chorus. Two boys take part in athletics, Eugene Berman. and Bill Parrell. We must not leave out the two Junior girls, Gerry Knowlee and Betty Schulenburg who are our cheerleaders. Flora Belle Hauge. Gerry Knowles, Mable Hoffman, and Betty Schulenburg participate in forensics.

Two members, William Ryan and Maynard Johnson, failed to return to high school this year, bringing the total number of. sophomores down to twenty-six. After about a month of school, two of the boys, Wendell Ander- son and Bernard Bergum, had the misfortune of bein seriously stricken with polio, which forced them to withdraw their names from the class enrollment. Twenty-four are left to represent their class until the return of these two boys. This class is especially active in school activities. Ten ambitious boys reported for football and eight of them for bas- ketball. Fifteen of the twenty -four students have added their voices to the chorus, while only two are in the band. Seven of the girls contributed their talents to the forensic contest.

THE FRESHNIEN On September 2, 1946. twenty-two pupils entered the little house of learning, and irxunediately acquired the title of Green Freshmen. They all looked frightened and very queer to us at first, but after a couple of weeks they be- came acquainted with everyone and it seemed as though they had always been in Black Earth ?oh School. On Friday the 13th of September, the little green Fresh- men were initiated by the Sophomores. They came into the assembly on their knees. The boys came as girls wearing their mothers dresses and stockings. They wore overshoes, had a scarf tied around their heads and wore make -up. Everyone seemed to think that they made better girls than boys. The girls wore gunny sacks a'nd straw hats, and wore no make-up. This gave everyone a chance to see how the girls look when they get up in the morning. Wow: .' This sure is a small world. That night the sophomores gave the freshmen a party. Almost everyone attended. One member of the class, Florian Handel, dropped out of school. leaving a total of twenty-one students, seventeen of the twenty-one boys and girls are in the chorus. One member is in the beginners band. Three boys took part in football , six went out for basketball, and four members participater' in forensics.

FOOTBALL September 2. 1946. twenty -four hopeful boys reported to coach Harvey Bronson to compose the football squad. A fairly successful season was expected, due to the fact that the first team averaged about 150 pounds. Last years team averaged 130 pounds. Only two games were played, however, when our first team cen- ter tBernard Bergumt and half backtWendall AndersorQ respectively were stricken with polio. Due to this fact all remaining games were cancelled. The remainder of the team was quarantined for two weeks. The opening game of the season was played with our beloved neigh- bor Mazomanie at Mazomanie under the lights. The Black Earth grid- ders were edged out 26-13. It was, however. a well played game, but Mazo being a little faster end heavier had a decided edge. Our second and final game of a very short season was played against De Forest at De Forest under the lights. De Forest as usual had some big boys. Their strategy in the first half was a ground at- tack. 1n the second half they took to the air and played beautifully. The big boys proved to be too much for the Earthmen and they were snowed under 27 -6. These two games would probably have been the toughe st of the whole season. Undoubtedly the team would have had an excellent season as they were improving by leaps and bounds. Left to right: Front Row: R. Goderstad, G. Barman, H. Lurtch, D. Bergum, G.

A Comedy in three acts, was presented Nov. 5. by the Senior Class of 1946-47, under the supervision of Mrs. Bussewitz. The play was based on the return and immediate marriage of ex-marine Steve Cameron, iEdward Punswicki to Clara Curtis iLQis Obrighty Steve's old high school flame. From the minute the play began until the end, Steve was kept busy finding excuses for not going through with the marriage to Clara. The truth of the matter was Steve had fillen in love with his navy nurse, Lt. Shirley Anderson iMnry AnniBolligL Although Mrs. Cameron iGladys Andersoni was determined that her son must go through with the marriage she and Clara hmi conjured during his absence. Finally Steve defied them with NO! and was helped so little in his decision by his father iDon Bergumi and sister Patty iLorene Salei. Not to be jilted Clara wittingly finds herself another fiance and triumphantly proves to Steve she has not lost her old technique. Mrs . Inez Cameron -------- Patty Cameron ............ Virgie Cameron ----------- Steve Cameron ------------ Mr. Will Cameron --------- Mrs. Sorenson ------------ Bobby Smith .............. Clara Curtis .............. Lt. Shirley Anderson ------- Ed Smith ----------------- THE CAST portrayed by Gladys Anderson was played exceedingly well. as Steve's younger sister, was taken by Lorene Sale who displayed plenty of that old spunk. played by Jane Urban, who was an admirer of Clara, the girl Steve left behind. a recently discharged marine and the center of attention was taken by Edward Punswick. this part was played by Donald Bergum, who took the part as a father very well, and played it as a true father. a nosey neighbor, by Lurlene Kahl, had the crowd roaring. the little boys next door, by Vivian Lee was very good as he tried to figure out how a black cat could have yellow kittens. the girl Steve left behind was superbly acted by Lois Obright. navy nurse Steve fell in love with while he was away, enacted by Mary Ann Bollig. a prosperous chicken rancher. and who Clara used as a last resort to get Steve to marry her, by Dick Bardsley. The crowd went wild at the antics of Willie Williams as they tried to gain a build like Charles Atlas, this s part was excellently portrayed by Lyle Barsness. x Front Row: CLeft to RighQ Mable Hoffmann, Betty Schulenburg, Natalie Lee, Geraldine Knowles, LaVera Garfoot, Shirley Strang, Last Row: Mrs. Bussewitz, Margy Olson, Lurlene Knhl, Lois Obright, Joan Dybdnhl, Gladys Anderson, Flora Belle Hauge.

The light reflecting from a beautiful Christnaes tree in the center of the floor leontrasted. with the red and green crepe paper draped from pillar to pillar. Bells, wreaths, imitation snowdriits, and collnnades added to the attractive decorations. We noticed punch being served by some of the Freshman girls. An eye -cetching Christmas ldesign, which corresponded with the other decorations, covered the serving table. A candle shining m the back of the ballroom drew our attention to the lounge. As we entered through the archways we saw lumps with colored bulbs reflecting on the furniture. As the orchestra. Norm Kingsley, started to play the theme, White Christmas, the grand march proceeded from the archwnys of the lounge toward the beautifully lighted tree where President Betty Handel. who wore a formal of white satin and net, and her es- cort Michael Barman met and so led the march. The first couple was followed by the Vice President. Donald Bergum and his partner Mary Ann Bollig, the Treasurer. Lurlene end her partner Eugene Schultz, and the Secretary, Lorene Sale and her partner Alex Mie- ster. This group was followed by the high school pupils and elnnmi It was a very beautiful scene and will long be remembered. A medium sized crowd attended, 5.11 having an enjoyible time. The dancing ended at 12:00, and all went home. JUJNDEBEQ The Black Earth High School gym was transformed into the scene of a quaint butvhenutiful Old Dutch Garden. In the background loomed a giant windlnill and encircling the gym was a picket fence which was bordered withtulips. Spring flowers and pastel eolored paper compieted the Dutch scenery. The event was the under Prom of 1947 which was held inn May 2, the music being furnished by Jerry Billington. The grand march was led by Eugene Barman and Elsie Howery whom he chose as his queen. In the first hall was located a punch room. the punch being served at the tables that are arranged there. The whole prom was a very successful event, everyone having an enjoyable time.
