The days are numbered until this school loses another senior class. It will be a great loss to us, but a great gain to the world. Those of us who remain behind, who can’t engage in this new venture of yours, sincerely hope that we shall not lose your friendship, your interest, and most of all, your visits. You are about to complete the most wonderful years of your lives. This new adventure of life will present, along with great opportunities, many perplexing problems, and perhaps even some heartaches. Meet them head on always with a stiff protruding chin. There have been times when you have felt that your teachers have been unfair, dogmatic, and unreasonable. Perhaps they have been, at times, but this much is certain—they have always done what they believed best for you. My fervent hope is that we may so have numbered our days that we may apply our hearts to wisdom. There is still a struggle in the world between the forces of wisdom and the forces of ignorance. You as seniors are charged with the responsibility of carrying the campaign for learning and wisdom into the world with you. It is a trust placed in you. We know that you will be true to that trust. If our days together have made the words, “Apply our hearts to wisdom” our prayer, then our life together has been worthwhile and our friendships everlasting. All this and very much more is the wish of your sincere friend— ROBERT P. MOSER, Superintendent.

The gym was gaily decorated to the scenes of “the land of the Midnight Sun,” and the crowd enjoyed dancing to the smooth tones of Duke Janda and his orchestra. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the Snow Queen, Marilyn Dietz, by her chosen king, Eddie Rozman, who later led the couples in the grand march. 10 Herbert Baier “Herbie”—Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Drama Club 2; Honor Society 3; Dancing 4; Journalism 3,4; Prom Committee 3; Senior Ball Committee 3; Forensics 3,4; Art Club 3, 4. “A wise old owl sat in an old oak, the more he heard the less he spoke, the less he spoke the more he heard, why can’t we all be like that old bird?” Laura Baltz “Dickie”—F.H.A. 1, 2; G.A.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Journalism 4; Prom Committee 3; Prom Court 3; Cheer Leader 4; Class President 1; Forensics 3, 4. “Just one darn thing after another.” Donald Bessert ‘Don”—Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Mixed Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4; Honor Society 1, 2, 3, 4; Softball 1, 2, 3, 4; Class President 4.

Though they may not have done so many big things this year, it’s the little things that count. When school began, we found about seventy juniors ready for another good year! As the weeks passed, football activities began, with many of our boys out front: Ronald Olbrich, Richard Rady, Vernon Skarke, Arno Bruckner, George Phillips, Roland Schaff, Roger Kraus, Donald Schleh, and Gregor Wenig. Then the basketball season started, and we had Dexter Schaubs, Vernon Skarke, Ronald Olbrich, Donald Schleh, and George Phillips rolling up the scores. The forensic season brought many juniors into the limelight, with Eunice Aebischer and Elaine Buhl as dramatic declaimers, Louise Schmahl as a humorous declaimer, Tom Horst as an extemporaneous reader, Helen King and Barbara Hei mann as orators, and Cecil Arenz as an extemporaneous speaker. Time passed on—January, February, March, April, May—did I say May? My goodness, that was the most exciting month of all. Our Junior Prom was held on May 9, and reigning as king for a night was Gregor Wenig. It was to the music of Tony Winters in the gayly decorated gym that another prom was chalked on the list. After the prom our worries about final exams absorbed us for the rest of the school year. Then Summer, Fall — and that means our Senior year. 22 JUNIOR CLASS Front row: (left to right) P. Voigt, D.

Don’t the freshies look green? We weren’t that bad, I’m sure.” That’s what the sophs said, as they surveyed their new classmates. By the way, the freshies are the only ones we can look down on. In October we sophs gave the freshmen their first high school dance, and initiated them the same evening. Then when homecoming came, a group of sophomores decorated the gym for the dance. The boys showed their spirit by going out for basketball and football and doing very well. They were Donald Hoffmann, Jerry Schomisch, Robert Reif, and Donald Keuler. Four Sophomores cheered at every game, keeping up the spirit of the school. These were Califern Tyrrell, Delores Nachtwey, Lorraine Salm, and Donna Groeschel. Some sophs represented our class by appearing in the all-school play, “Aunt Tillie Goes to Town.” They were Jerome Schomisch, Lorraine Salm, and Donna Groeschel. Some of the class members also took part in the forensic contest. These speakers were Adeline Meyers, Califern Tyrrell, Lorraine Salm, Roger Wenzel and Delores Ecker. We were well represented in F. H. A., F. F. A., Art club, Glee club, and Band. Some took solos in both Band and Glee club. I guess that’s all we’ll say for the sophs for now (don’t think we couldn’t say more), but we’ll be back next year. 24 SOPHOMORE CLASS Front row: (left to right) C. Voigt, C. Keuler, R. Price, D.

FRESHMAN CLASS NOTES As the members of the class of 1950 (we all hope) look back over our first semester in high school, we remember how seventy-three of us untied ourselves from our mother’s apron strings and entered Chilton High. We well represented ourselves in athletics, Glee club, and Band. Jim Rady distinguished himself as the one freshman in the all-school play. Barbara Landgraf went out for forensics, and several of us made the Honor Roll. It is quite a job, adjusting to high school, as you may recall. However, at the end of the school year, we decided high school wasn’t so bad and plan to come back another year. 26 FRESHMAN CLASS Front row: (left to right) E. Stache, D. Sabel, L. Weninger, J.

He wagered with the owner of Baldpate Inn that he could write a best-selling novel in twenty-four hours. The title of the play denotes the plot; seven keys fit the Baldpate lock. There is also a political plot that involves the crooked mayor of Rueton and many others. One of the funnies characters is Jigg Kennedy, the chief of police of Aesquewan Falls. The play, a mystery melodrama with a surprise ending, was well received by the audience. Those appearing in the play, who are not included in the picture above, are Marie Salm and Phil Roll. 30 FOREN !IC3 First row: (left to right) R. Ninow, H. King, L. Schmahl, E. Buhl, D. Ecker, L.

The other contests followed soon after that, and the league contest was held on March 14. Helen King, Barbara Heimann, and Roger Wenzel participated in the oratory contest. The humorous declaimers were Louis Schmahl, Califern Tyrrell, Barbara Landgraf, Ed. Landgraf, and Adeline Meyers. In the serious declamatory section we had Eunice Aebischer, Laura Baltz, and Lorraine Salm. Ruth Ninow, Joan Woelfel, Tom Horst, Delores Ecker, and Herbie Baier made up the extemporaneous reading group. Mrs. Dempsey, Mr. Freiburger, and Miss Clute were the advisers for the forensic work. 31 C. H. S. BAND Front row: D. Rusch, R. Wenzel. J. Mayer, J. Schomisch, J. Starfeld, M. Hertel, C. Kopf, R.

At one of the concerts, Miss Weber’s grade school tap dancers appeared also. These concerts were given to raise money for the new band uniforms. You loyal football and basketball fans heard the band playing peppy marches at several of the games. The homecoming game, as usual, was when the band was most appreciated by the excited crowd. On February 14 the band traveled to Brillion to appear at the high school there. A concert was given for the city’s grade schools in January. The spring months, of course, were spent in preparation for the tournament. Officers for the year were Jerome Just, Hildegarde Geupel, and Gregor Wenig. 34 LIBRARY CLUB Front row: (left to right) L.

Landgraf was appointed editor for the year. The thirteenth of each month was set as the distribution date for the paper, and it was met successfully each month. Some new color work and shading made the paper more attractive than was possible with the old machine. Cecil Arenz provided us with some fine original drawings to be printed. For several days before each issue of the HILLCREST was given out to the students, the whirring of the mimeograph could be heard, while other hands were busy typing, sorting and banging the stapler. 37 F.

President—Ardis Manderscheid Vice President—Severina Steffes Secretary—Dolores Beyer Treasurer—Dolores Burg Reporter—Dorothy Rusch Historian—Shirley Kuhn Song Leader—Betty Ritzke Adviser—Miss Nickel The F. H. A. has, as usual, been very active this year. The summer activities included a picnic at Columbia park and County Fair work. There were many F. H. A. participants in the dress revue at the Fair, as well as in the demonstration and exhibits held by the club. There was also a Dairy Queen contest at the fair this year, in which Delores Schabach captured the honors. Five girls took part in the Youth Day activities at the Wisconsin State Fair. After school began last fall, Ardis Manderscheid and Delores Heimann were chosen as delegates to the State F. H. A. convention held at Wisconsin Rapids in October. On November 25, new members were admitted to the club, making a total of about sixty active members. The officers very ably performed their duties in the initiation of the new girls, of which there were about twenty-nine. The club colors, red and white, were represented by roses and candles in the initiation. A faculty and board of education Christmas banquet was prepared by the F. H. A. girls, and was considered a great success by all who attended. A knitting club was started in the second semester, with many girls signing up for membership in it. Again this spring. F. H. A. demonstrations were participated in by all the clubs in the state. An F. F. A.-F. H. A. banquet was held in the spring also, to which parents of club members were invited. Another event of the year was the radio program held at Wisconsin Dells in June, the topic of which was “State F. H. A. Convention.” The club members work continually to meet the challenge given them by their motto, “Toward New Horizons.” F. H. A. Creed: We are the Future Homemakers of America. We face the future with warm courage and high hope. For we have the clear consciousness of seeking old precious values. For we are the builders of homes, Homes for America’s future, Homes where living will be the expression of everything That is good and fair. Homes where truth and love and security and faith Will be realities, not dreams. We are the Future Homemakers of America. We face the future with warm courage and high hope. 39 F. F. A.

A. organization, which includes all states in the United States, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. This National Chapter is divided into local chapters, of which Chilton is one. A national convention is held once a year in Kansas City at the time of the Royal Livestock show. James Scholz was our representative this year. Sectional meetings are being held all over the state. Our chapter attended one at Brillion this year. There are four degrees in the F. F. A.: Green-hand, Chapter Farmer, State Farmer, and American Farmer. A greenhand is one who is in the chapter the first year. To be a chapter farmer, he must have earned $25 or more through project work. A state farmer must have earned $250 or more. Our state farmer candidates are Lincoln Klessig, Kenneth Bock, Gerald Burg, Donald Sattler, Gerald Schroeder, Arthur Kopf. The Chilton chapter is advised by Mr. Harold Sheedy. The officers are James Scholz, president; Gregor Wenig, vice president; Lincoln Klessig, secretary; Gerald Schroeder, treasurer; Kenneth Bock. reporter; Gerald Burg, sentinel. One evening meeting is held every month, and special meetings are held when necessary. A program of work is prepared at the beginning of the year, including and listing all chapter projects and the committees to work on them. All members are carrying on a supervised farming program as a follow-up to their school training. Our basketball team played several games with our neighboring chapters. Our quartet entered the singing contest also. F. F. A. chapter purchased more equipment this year with money made from magazine and seed sales. The members also stepped up their project activities to meet some of the food goals set for 1947. One of the main purposes of the chapter is to train the members in best performing the nation’s activities. Last fall many of our chapter boys showed at the Green Bay Livestock show. The Chilton chapter took many of the prizes. They also showed at local and county fairs. Summer plans of the chapter include a picnic and a possible trip. Regular monthly meetings will go on also. 41 LATIN CLUB I c t Front row: (left to right) C. Landgraf, E. Wagner, G. Eldridge, D. Toth, R. Thede, S. Kuhn, R. Ninow, C. Huber, T. Horst, D. Joas, J.

LATIN CLUE Fiat Lux — Let there be light! With this for our motto, the Latin club of Chilton High School was formed three years ago. Our membership then was 17, at the present time it is 30. In the fall of this year, the first work of the club was to initiate ten new members. Although each had to prove himself as strong and courageous as the Roman soldiers, by passing various tests, none withdrew. Each member took the following pledge under the direction of the high priest: We, the Latin students of Chilton High school, in order to gain a more thorough knowledge of Roman life, customs and language, to understand better the practical and cultural value of Latin, and to interest our fellow-students therein, hereby resolve to obey all rules and abide by the constitution of the club and to fulfill the above objectives to the best of our ability. At Christmas the club held its annual party. Gifts were exchanged, games were played and refreshments were served. The spring social activity of the club is a tea to which the eighth graders and high school students who would like to take Latin are invited. At one of our first meetings we elected the following officers: Pontifex Maximus—Shirley Kuhn Tribune—Ray Thede Censor—Ruth Ninow Praetors—Dorothy Toth, Tom Horst Consuls—Georgianna Eldridge, Calvin Huber 43 Front row: (left to right) H.

It is interested in the welfare of all, and therefore, discusses all problems brought up in the school. This year’s council was composed of all class officers of both first and second semester. Pins were worn by members of the organization, as a symbol that they were part of the school government. Mr. Moser opened the first meeting and officers were then elected. Officers were: Valeria Grenzer, president; Roger Kraus, vice president, and Ruth Ninow, secretary. A committee was elected to draw up a constitution. Louise Schmahl was chairman and Delores Nachtwey, Lorraine Salm and Marjorie Hertel were members. Two of the big accomplishments of the council this year were the planing and buying of the ortho-phonic, and conducting of the emblem contest. Also, two seniors were elected to the honor of raising and lowering the school flag. Meetings were held on Tuesdays. 44 BOYS' GLEE CLUB D. E- Wagner SatUer’ E- Steg£r' F- Kartheiser, Miss Marks, J.

CHORAL CLUB NOTES The Glee club or Choral club this year had a turnout of forty students, including both boys’ and girls’ selected voices. Three concerts were given—on November 6, December 18, and February 5. The program on December 18 was a Christmas pageant, in which the whole group partook. On February 5, tap dancing groups added to the attractions of the evening. Dexter Schaubs was chairman of the float committee for Homecoming, and the club took third prize in the parade. On October 29, a Glee club party was given for members only. All wore costumes, played games, and had refreshments of apple cider and hot tamales. During the spring, the entire choral group looked anxiously forward to the music contests. Officers of the club were Louise Schmahl, president; Don Bessert, vice president; Dexter Schaubs, secretary-treasurer. 48 Front row: (left to right) E. Pilling, E. Ziegenbein, B. Schwarz, A.

With much help and aid from Miss Gordon, the ninety-three members of the Girls’ Athletic Association really made a go of things this year. “To promote good sportsmanship, fair play, physical development, and wise use of leisure time” is the motto we established at one of the meetings. Representatives from each of the different classes were also chosen. Three girls from each class were to be captains of the different activities. These captains were as follows: Kickball Captains: Delores Heimann ....... senior Myra Schaefer ......... junior Alice Roehrig...... sophomore Eunice Pilling ...... freshman Basketball Captains: Hazel Merten .......... senior Delores Beyer ......... junior Califern Tyrrell .... sophomore Betty Schwartz ...... freshman Volleyball Captains: Valeria Grenzer........ senior Shirley Kuhn .......... junior Gertrude Juckem .. sophomore Ethel Ziegenbein .... freshman The first event of the year was the kickball tournament. It was won by the juniors, who took all three of the games they played. Each of the other three teams lost two games, making them all tied for second place in the final standing. As always, the basketball tournament proved to be the most interesting. The first game results were the seniors beating the freshmen. Then the sophomores won over the freshmen. Then the juniors and seniors battled it out, ending in a two to two tie. Sophomores then beat the juniors, followed by the juniors beating the freshmen. The sophomores were the final victors of the tournament. Following the basketball tournament, the volleyball season opened. Then we closed the year with the softball tournament. One thing never before accomplished was the organization of an out-of-town girls’ basketball game. We played at Stockbridge and won 22 to 16. Stockbridge girls returned the visit, and Chilton again won. Perfect attendance records for tournament games are held by the following girls: Laura Baltz, Phyllis Diedrieh, Theresa Daun, Valeria Grenzer, Romilda Nett, Delores Heimann, Shirley Kuhn, Alice Nilles, Myra Schaefer, Rita Schwarz, Betty Gerner, Eleanor Emery, Kathleen Hoffman, Alice Roehrig, Florence Kampfer, Eunice Pilling, Arlene Reimer, Jeanette Salm, Betty Schwarz, Jacqueline Dernier. The goal of every member is to attain a “C” by the end of the year. These are given to the nine highest, and points are obtained in the following ways: Activity periods, tournament games, noon-hour playing, after school playing, and any outside activities. All juniors and seniors are eligible. 51 Joe Mayer, Ed. Landgraf, Joan Woelfel ALL-SCHOOL PLAY On November 20, the all-school play was presented in the high school gym. The play, under the direction of Miss Clute, was titled “Aunt Tillie Goes to Town.” It was a riotous farce in three acts, and proved very interesting for the cast, as well as the audience. Ruth Ninow acted as the maid of the household, who strived to be beautiful. Joan Woelfel was Aunt Tillie Trask, who was very old-fashioned in her ways. Joseph Mayer was the young man who won Donna Groeschel’s heart, and had quite a time doing it Edward Landgraf was a friend of the family. Louise Schmahl was the young lady who was sent by a Chinese agency to investigate the theft of a piece of jade that had occurred some time before. James Rady portrayed Charlie One-Lung, the Chinese boy who became the cook. Alice Veit made her appearance and caused an uproar by acting as Mrs. Tillie Trask. Dr. Hattie Bing, a chiropractor, portrayed by Arlys Schnell, made a scene by mistaking Joe Mayer for Joan Woelfel. Lorraine Salm also added to the contusion and comedy of the plot. 52!

It was decided to hold meetings every other Monday evening at. school. Members of the club this year included representatives from each class: Don Jodar. freshman; Califern Tyrrell and Adeline Meyers, sophomores; Eunice Aebischer and Vernon Skarke, juniors, and Ruth Ninow, Joe Mayer, Herbert Baier, Edward Landgraf, and Joan Woelfel, seniors. Each member concentrated on the field of his own choosing. Among the projects worked on were charcoal pencil sketching, poster painting, and water coloring. 54 LETTERMEN'S CLUB Front row: (left to right) K. Knauf, C. Dingeldein, E. Schoenborn, P. Bruckner.

BASKETBALL This year’s basketball season held many disappointments, after getting off to a good start. The first team was coached by Mr. Cuisinier. His boy chalked up victories over Kiel, twice; Elkhart Lake, twice; and New Holstein, once. Chilton finished in sixth place in both conferences. Eastern Wisconsin and Mid-Valley. High scorer for the team was Curt Dingeldein, followed by Ed. Rozman, Bob Keuler, and Donald Schleh. Letter winners were Dingeldein, Rozman, Keuler, Schleh, Schaubs, Olbrich, Nennig, Skarke and Phillips. Schoenborn was also on the first team. The team is hopeful for next year with five lettermen returning. The second team, under Mr. Drone, had a fine year. They turned in victories over West De Pere, Plymouth, and many other tough teams. Several of these boys will be promoted to the first team next year. CHEER LEADERS (Left to right) M. Salm, L. Baltz, L. Schmitz, C. Tyrrell, D. Groeschel, D. Nachtwey, L.

FOOTBALL As Sept. 1 rolled around this year, 32 enthusiastic Chilton boys appeared for practice. Never before in its history had Chilton faced a tougher year. They were scheduled to play 7 games in two conferences. The Eastern Wisconsin and Mid-Valley conference rank close to the top, as most sports-minded people know. The four horsemen and seven mules of Chilton galloped 70 miles into the brush on Sept. 20 for their first game with Bonduel. At the end of the first half they trailed 7-0. Then they started a drive headed by Bob “Horsehips” Keuler, marching 10 yards at a time until Leslie “Samson” Zahn ran it over for a 7-7 score. The following week they were scheduled to grapple with West De Pere. It was a ducky day— wet, that is. At the end of the first half the score was 6-0 in favor of the battered and bleeding De-Pere team. As the second half started, Chilton spirits rose and they tied the score; but as the end drew near, De Pere scored again, to the tune of 12-6. On October 9 the team again went north, this time to Pulaski, where cabbages and Polocks grow big. With the score at 6 up, the boys were booted out by a late game field goal. At Plymouth on October 11, Chilton got a fast start with a touchdown march in the first quarter, but after a hard-fought contest, the golden clad gridders let an extra point sneak through in the last half that tossed the game, to a very happy Plymouth homecoming. After a tough wrestle with a big Seymour team, Chilton went on to lay into Kiel with all they had; which is as follows: The Seven Mules LE Curt “Bonerack” Dingeldein LT Fat “Meatball” Weninger LG Ivor “Dutch” Schultz C Vernon “Slushbrain” Skarke RG Eddie “Leatherneck” Rozman RT Phil “Ski-Foot” Roll RE Don “Hutson” Keuler The Four Horsemen QB Jerry “Twinkle-Toe” Kobriger RH Ken “Crazy-Legs” Knauf LH Leslie “Samson” Zahn FB Bob “Horse-Hips” Keuler Everybody, including two linemen, chalked up touchdowns with a resulting 37-0 triumph. — Oh, Man! The last game (?) of the season—Kimberly. One dozen graduating seniors will never forget this one. Stormy Weather! — Boarding their LST’s and sailing up Highway 151, the Chilton amphibious football squad hit Operation—Kimberly, the last, but most feared opponents, on November 11. The mud was so thick it looked like chocolate pudding; but as eleven men will testify, it certainly didn’t taste like it. It was so muddy the cheerleaders wore hip boots, and passes were tossed underhand. At the end of the first half, Chilton was 3 yards from a touchdown, and may have been closer in the second half. However, the goal line was shortened because of the weather. After the game the boys were glad to take a shower with their suits on.
