DEDICATION We, the Senior Class of '55, dedicate this annual to our faithful custodian, Otto Danielson; and to our community. Mr. Danielson has beena servant of the Community for seventeen years and during that time has been a decided credit to the Clear Lake School system. It is an impossible task to express in such limited space the genuine appreciation felt by the Clear Lake students for the service, the assistance, and the kindly advice of both Mr. Danielson and the Community. To you, Mr. Danielson and our Community, our heartfelt thanks. 2 FACULTY MEMBERS F. C. LUNDBERG Bachelcjr of Science Eau Claire State College Principal JACK B.

CLASS POEM We are the class of '55, And upon our graduation We'll leave our high school days behind, For an unknown destination. There are several school events We wish to commemorate; And, since there are so many things, Well, let's elaborate. As Freshmen we were subjected, to the qualms of initiation; But the next year as the Sophomore class, We reversed the situation. As Juniors, we expended time, For the Junior activities And then came our Senior year. And our fitting epithet. For, That All = May Know, Is a motto with suggestion; And as we bid goodbye to school, We'd like to ask a question. As we put away our text-books, And the hours of care-free fun, Has our education ended, Or, really just begun? 15 ROBERT W1TTHOFT Bashful and shy. Oh, what a lie.

He calls his butler, Paul Lange, and his maid, Mildred Edwards, and asks them to look up the rest of the class. They decide to hold the reunion at the Clear Lake Country Club, managed by Jack Steinberger. The Melodiers are playing here and feature Ray Schultze and Miles Schustedt. Marlene Frohreich, a great opera singer in New York, agrees to appear with the band. Paul and Mildred start the search for the missing classmates and find them all over the world. The first one they contact is Edgar DeBoer, the president of a pillow manufacturing firm in Clear Lake. He introduces his secretary, Margaret Mara. She volunteers to help us in our search. She tells us that Ralph Hawkins is a pillow tester in the basement bedroom and rings the alarm clock to awaken him. He is overjoyed to know of the reunion and agrees to come. Margaret then tells us of her three friends, Mary Ann Gleboff, world renowned artist; Rosie Frank, a bathing suit model in Hollywood; and Mildred Fouks, owner of Mildred's Jewelry Store in Las Vegas, Nevada. Margaret promises to let them know of the reunion. Mary Ann Haima, an author of children's books, resides in Australia; Wendell Klatt, a designer of women's hats, makes his home in Paris, France; Frank -lyn Leisz, center on the Globetrotters Basketball team, is now appearing in Ipswich, England; Robert Peterson, a weightlifter traveling with Barnum and Bailey's Circus, is now working in London, England; Paul Streif, a missionary of great esteem, is just preparing to return to the United States from the deepest jungles of Africa; Myrna Smith, third richest woman in the world, is living on the Riviera; and Suzanne Swanson has fullfilled her ambition to travel. She is a Foreign Relations Agent now Austria. These people are all notified and their trips back to Clear Lake are arranged by Shirlee Edwards, Airlines Receptionist at the International Skyways Airline. Strangely enough, Marlin Hahn is the pilot to whom they are intrusted. Several of the class members can be found in Who's Who. Richard Rivard, Academy Award winner for his performance in Our Town; Senator La-Vern Wallberg, known for his ability to filibuster, and Allen Wienke, All-American Guard at the University of Clear Lake in the years of '58 and '59. Other classmates that Paul and Mildred have to look up are Allen Anderson, dancing school proprietor; Oveila Emerson, elementary teacher at the University of Clear Lake Practice school; Maxine Hansen, Instructor of Music at West Point; Marlin Klatt, lecturer on world topics; William Kuhn, tester of automobiles at the proving grounds he has built up to the largest in the world; Duane Olson, major league pitcher for the Clear Lake Warriors, World Series winners for the past five years; Joanne Paulson, a psychiatrist, and Gwen Martin, a chiropractor, are proprietors of the Memorial Clinic; and Maynard Newville, a wealthy playwright, is apatient of Joanne's. Marlene Hansen, a cattle rancher in Wyoming, is also contacted. These people all arrive at Clear Lake one fine sunny day in June. Dennis Paulson, owner of a taxi cab company has volunteered to drive them to the hotel owned by Russell Christensen. When they arrive at the country club, built by Bob Witthoft and decorated by Shirley Paulson, they are greeted by Lowell and Shirley Nelson, owners of a fleet of trucks; Herbie Josephson, the owner of the largest dairy farm in Wisconsin; Marvin Newville, an insurance salesman, and Carol Hemauer who is married and living in Clear Lake. With all these prosperous people present, the affair was widely publicized. The pictures for publication were taken by Gaylord Pittman, famous photographer of babies. The weekend was spent discussing schooldays, and the ten years they have been separated, renewing old friendships, and enjoying a vacation. Plans were made to have another reunion in ten years, so it was plainly visible that everyone enjoyed themselves. 17 WILL I, Allen Anderson, will my safe driving to Marilyn Krebs.

The Clear Lake High School Band this year numbers 65 players. It has kept busy throughout the summer months as well as the regular school term by taking part in many varied performances in addition to those listed above. On several occasions, personnel from both the band and the choir furnished music and entertainment for several community events. The German Band also has appeared at many community gatherings. Twenty one graduates will leave the band this year and willindeedbe missed by their younger colleagues. The choir of 94 voices, in addition to having taken part in the performances mentioned above, has also furnished soloists and ensembles for many community events. During the first part of the school year, the choir was divided according to ability, into two groups. Prior to the Christmas concert, the two groups began functioning as one choir. We feel that the group has made fine progress, and toward the end of the school year turned in several fine performances.

We read so many of our nice library books and had quiz games about some of them. On Valentines Day we invited all the little brothers and sisters of preschool age to our party. We had 55 adult visitors during the year. Grades 3-4 -- Mrs. Hawksford We have had a very interesting year. We had nine third graders and seventeen fourth graders. We enjoyed three radio programs: Music Time, Let's Find Out, and Book Trails. In Fine Arts we dramatized four stories. This was lots of fun. We played them for at least one other room. We made attractive clay animals. We painted them many colors. Our Fourth grade wentto the Reeve Locker plant. We learned all about the names and care of the meats we eat. Grades 4-5 -- Miss Olson Some of the highlights of our year included the Christmas operetta, the fourth grade trip to visit the Reeve Locker, and the class trip to St. Paul where we visited the Science Museum, the Capitol, and Como Park. The money for the trip was raised through a club which met once a month and a candy sale. In May each of the students brought his hobby which was put on display. During the year several stories were dramatized, including an original Hill Billy story by the fifth grade. Grade 6 -- Mrs. Vancerhoff Our study of the Solar System in the fall and the study of the spring galaxy of constellations this spring was enjoyed by all of the sixth graders more than any other science unit. Because of the high interest in this unit, we took a trip to the Planetarium in Minneapolis. On the trip we also visited the Taystee Bakery, the Minnesota Historical Museum, the Minnesota State Capitol, the Science Museum, and Como Park. Grade 7 -- Miss Tate The class this year contained thirty-one lively boys and girls, fifteen girls and sixteen boys. As is true of every class, it contained several pupils of tenth and eleventh year standing according to the achievement test given. There are also boys and girls of much ability in leadership and will, I believe, prove valuable citizens of the community in the future. I would be interested in watching them as I have many others during their course through high school, and I surely wish them the best of luck. Grade 8 -- Mr. Whitner The eighth grade this year has been an especially active class in all phases of grade school activities. Socially, there have been several gatherings which include a hayride, a skating and sliding party, wiener roasts, and a combined seventh and eighth grade party for the grade basketball boys. Ithas beena good year scholastically also. Practically all of the class finished the schopl year well above the median for their grade. The last class activity will be a tour through the Minnesota State Capitol, the Ford Plant, and General Mills. 43 Edgewood School Grades 1-4 Mrs. Gorres and Mrs. Pittman Sunnyside School Edgewood School Grades 5-8 Mrs. Junkans Liberty School Mrs. Peterson 4-1 Tri-captains, Jim Gleboff.

Run fast, Richard! Dennis, are you sitting down on the job? FOOTBALL SEASON The 1954 Warrior football team will go down as one of the greatest in school history as did the '53 champions. The fighting Warriors accomplished a fete unmatched in school annals, going undefeated for two straight years and 16 straight victories. No Warrior football team has been defeated since lights have been installed on Grimes Field. Although the Warrior name became feared in Lakeland Conference circles it also was noted for clean, hard, sportsmanlike play, for which we are all proud. When a 40 man squad with only 10 lettermen and 6 regulars reported to Coach Bernardyat the beginning of the year his only comment was, We'll try to build a club that will keep hustling and play good hard football, and try was the word. The boys were familiar with Coach Bernardy's style of football and adherred his teachings with zest. With strong leadership shown by upperclassmen the Warriors gave the fans a pre-conference preview of their prowess with a sound 41-0 victory over a weak Boyceville club. Although the Warriors were not overly impressive they gave the fans hope for things to come. The first thing to come was a victory over Turtle Lake 20-7. This game proved to be the opener for bigger and better things. The game was played on Turtle Lake's muddy field. The Warriors gave their Dads all a thrill on Dad's Night, beating Prairie Farm 21-18. The Warrior's ability to score extra points won this ball game combined with hard-hitting offense and superb defense. The Warriors then went on to beat Cameron 33-7. The Warrior's main punch came in the first half scoring 27 points to take an early lead. Clear Lake trimmed their old rivals, Clayton, 35-0 for the next victory. The Warriors were undefeated as was their next opponent, Weyerhauser. The Warriors came through with a victory over the Wildcats 16-13. The blue-clad boys played one of the best games of the year to beat them. Players and fans will undoubtedly remember this game not only for the victory but of the prevailing weather conditions. The boys were mud from head to toe. Clear Lake sprinted forward winning 27-12 over Shell Lake for the 1954 Homecoming. The Warriors then trampled over the cellar-dwelling New Auburn team 53-0, a game which could have been 153 to nothing. The Clear Lake team not only having the distinction of being unbeaten for its second season was also rated tops for scoring and yardage gained during the season for the Northwest teams by the Eau Claire Leader. We are very proud to mention here that our tri-captains, Jim Gleboff, Marlin Klatt, and Allen Wienke, received honorable mention awards on the Northwest Football Squad. Such an honor has never before been received by a Clear Lake athlete. Congratulations, Seniors, to a job well done. The 1953 aggregation was better defensively, but the 1954 squad must be rated tops in their passing attack. The outlook for next year is very dark indeed. W th practically all the regulars and most of the experienced boys graduating a complete rebuilding job is necessary. The regulars this year were Jim Gleboff, Allen Wienke, Marlin Klatt, Wayne Mork, Richard Rivard, Wendell Klatt, La Vern Wallberg, and Robert Witthoft. Top reserves were Duane Moore, Lowell Nelson, Duane Olson, Dan Smith, Gaylord Pittman, Herbert Josephson, and Dennis Paulson.

SI La Vern Wallberg Robert Witthoft BASKETBALL GRADUATES Jim Gleboff Marlin Klatt Allen Wienke Frank Leisz 52 BASKETBALL SEASON The Clear Lake basketball boys followed the tradition of fine basketball teams. With seven returning lettermen Coach Bernardy saw prospects of a fair season. It turned out to be a good season as the Warriors owned a 12-2 record at the three-quarter mark and a 12-5 record going into tournament play. The season got off to a good start as the Warriors defeated the Cameron Comets 48-38. With high spirits Clear Lake traveled to Prairie Farm to receive its first conference loss by a 60-49 count. With one loss in one conference start the conference title which had been in Clear Lake the previous two years looked distant. The Warrior quintet came bouncing back to defeat Centuria 59-45 and win a thriller from Clayton 40-37, to give them a 1-1 conference record. Hopes were again dulled as a fine Roberts team beat Clear Lake by a sound 64-42 score. The Warriors again came thundering back and won nine straight contests. The first was a 72-51 shellacking of Shell Lake in a conference tilt. They then trounced Balsam Lake 70-48 and Cameron 66-50. The conference faVored Turtle Lake Lakers then came to Clear Lake to give the Warriors their third conference victory against one defeat by a score of 57-50. From this point on the Warriors led the loop to the final standings. Clear Lake 62-Roberts 53. This was a sweet victory for the War-rior$ as they avenged an early loss to a Roberts team, considered one of the best in this territory. Bolstered by their previous win, the Warriors reversed another bitter defeat by swamping Prairie Farm 76-53 for their fourth conference victory. The Clear Lake quintet then defeated Balsam Lake 64-49 and Clayton 57-43 but had to go into overtime to defeat Shell Lake 54-49. The Warriors then hit a slump that carried them to defeat at the hands of Centuria by a 66-60 score, Glenwood City 67-41, and Coconference Champs Turtle Lake 64-48. This brought their entire season record to 12-5 and conference record to 6-2. This is the third straight year that the Warriors have been conference champions. Clear Lake then went into tournament play to be upset a second time by Centuria but won the consolation title by trimming Balsam Lake and Webster. The prospects at this time do not look very impressive for the 1955-56 season as all the regulars and two capable reserves will be missing from next year's quintet. Hats off to the graduating seniors who contributed most in accomplishing the third straight conference title for Clear Lake. This is an achievement which has never been accomplished before in the history of basketball at Clear Lake High. The graduating basketball players are Allen Wienke, Marlin Klatt, Wendell Klatt, Jim Gleboff, La Vern Wallberg, Robert Witthoft, and Frank Leisz. 53 Back row; Dan Smith, Edgar De Boer, Marvin Newville, Gaylord Pittman, La Vern Wallberg, Marlin Klatt, Jim Gleboff, Mr. Bernardy.

BASEBALL BASEBALL SEASON Clear Lake's baseball team went undefeated in conference play for championship honors. (There aren't any records of the Warriors ever attaining this title before.) Our opening game with Turtle Lake the Warriors won 10-6. The Warriors then trounced Clayton 24-5. Prairie Farm was next and Clear Lake beat them 9-5. This was one of the hardest teams to beat. The final game saw the Warriors down Shell Lake 12-7. 54 56 Martin’s Service Station Reeve Pure Gas and Oils Frank Martin Prop.
