Mr. Manley With the conclusion of another year of high school activities appears another chapter in the Crandon High School history book. The pages in this year book relate this year’s story of the high school with it’s organizations and activities. The Cardinal serves as a medium for recalling intimate friendships, pleasurable days and valued memories that fade fast with time. To the students and friends of Crandon High School, we present this 1943 Cardinal. We appreciate the efforts of all who have assisted us in making this a success. We especially wish to thank Miss Bowden and Mr. Manley, without whose assistance this annual would not have been possible.

Our class has come to the close of an eventful four years of work and fun. Now, as we are about to leave our school which has given us these memorable years, we'd like to look back on our high school days and think about all the things we have done. On one bright September morning in 1939, sixty-six of us entered Cran-don High to begin our four years of high school. In March, the sophomore class gave us a much delayed initiation party, and in April, we gave a return dance. It Was our first year to participate in the Senior Carnival; and, with the help of Mr. Lambie, our class advisor, we put on a “baby race and hula dance with success. That year, we elected Pete Predeth our class president. As Sophomores, fifty-five of us again enrolled to begin our studies and school life. Under Coach Lambie’s wise counsel and guidance, we emerged victorious from the class basketball tournament, and on Homecoming weekend, we were the winner of the window display. The first dance party of the year was our initiation of the Freshmen. During our sophomore year, Pete Predeth was again our president. Our junior year at C. H. S. was a busy one. It was our year to have the main show at the Senior Carnival, and we presented the play, “The Cat’s Whiskers”, which was very successful. Our Junior Prom was based on the theme song, “Apple Blossom Time . Mona Marvin was president of our class that year. And so we came to the account of our last year. With Pete Predeth ruling as president, our class sponsored the Senior Carnival and also published the annual, “The Cardinal . Hidden talent in our class was brought to light by the presentation of the senior class play, “Gay”. We lost several of our classmates to the service, and felt their loss tremendously. Of course, we are very proud of them! Our last year was made easier and more pleasant by the help and assistance of Mr. Manley who became our class advisor. We want him to know that we realize this and we thank him from the bottom of our hearts! . —G— JACK ABNEY “Bull It isn't the size that counts.

Class play 4 Band 4 —10— ClaAA Pn pJtecy Ojxe fine day after graduation, “Porky McNutt took his fishing outfit and headed for Swamp Creek. Crossing over Sugar Bush Hill, he decided he needed a rest—so he laid himself down under a big, spreading, chestnut tree and fell asleep. The great error in “Porky’s” composition was an insuperable aversion of all kinds of profitable labor. “Porky,” however, was one of those happy mortals of foolish, well-oiled disposition, who took the world easy, ate white bread or brown, whichever could be got with least thought or trouble. On waking, he rubbed his eyes—it was a bright sunny morning. “Surely”, thought Porky, “I have not slept here all night”! Finally, after untangling his beard and looking around he got up and walked toward Crandon. On his way he met Farmer McPherson. They started a conversation which brought about each other’s identity. To his surprise, Porky discovered that 10 years had elapsed while he had slept— it was now 1953. Farmer McPherson got out of his wagon and he and Porky sat under a big shade tree and talked about old times! Porky asked what had happened to all his classmates while he had been sleeping, and Farmer McPherson told him all he knew. “Wal, let’s see now,” began Farmer McPherson, scratching his head. “There’s June Bingham—she’s living down in Florida with her husband, Don White. I hear they’re right happy, too, and have six kids—all boys. Jack Abney is “Buffalo Bill”, riding in the Kentucky Derby; and Paul Campbell is busy running a big dude ranch out West. Mary Carlson is a dancing instructor in Milwaukee—pretty good too, I hear. Howard Elam is still camping at Carter’s cabin. Emily Netzel is working at the ticket office at her father’s theatre—making good at her job, too. Mary Houle is a licensed “dear” hunting guide in the Argonne Reserve. Orlo Tinsman is a manager of a reducing school in Chicago and Christine Hayes is also in the big city—some wealthy fellow’s secretary. Cloma Fraley is teaching school at Siding 1%. Donald Torgerson is in Hollywood, running Clark Gable out of the movies. He’s the odol of American women, I hear. Helen Woline is a hostess at Klass’ Lodge and lone DeHart runs a “shop around the corner” of her own. She’s selling popcorn on a larger scale. Royal Kott is still a jerk—soda, I mean. Robert Zach has just passed his entrance exams for Vassar after years of hard study. Jim Paul gave his first concert in Carnegie Hall—heard that the walls collapsed. Norma Randall is happy once more as “Chocolate” has just come back. Sam Hoenig has joined up with Bob Burns, telling call tales. Wava Georgeson is still waiting for her Garland at Sleepy Hollow—poor little gal! Adelaide Waite runs a beauty shop in Crandon, and the women in town are prettier than ever. Elizabeth Steele is on the radio, competing with Judy Canova. Eugene Cottrell is down in Chicago ' Helping Orlo. Those boys were inseparable. Philip Schmidt is “flash” of the Argonne Forest. Junior Sparks is running his father’s store and the business increasing by leaps and bounds. Charles Sheldon is now proprietor of Schaefer’s store. Georgetta Gumm is midget rivitter at Lockeeck Robert Rowlinson is leader of the “Cubscouts”. Euleta Plummer is flying cadet in the WAACS. Mae Shields is author of the new Shields unabridged dictionary. Elaine Jacobson is owner of a canoe ranch on Mole Lake. Pete Predeth is “glamour puss” in Tarzan films. Elayne Kline is still trying to choose between the three Feucht boys—can’t make up her mind. Donald Chartraw is distributor of reclaimed chewing gum. Bob Carter joined the navy as an air-craft carrier. “Wal, I reckon that about covers everybody. Sure seems too bad that you’ve wasted all these years, sleepin’ like that?’ “Oh, I don’t know,” yawned Porky. “First time I ever got all the sleep I really wanted. Wal, so long. Guess I’ll go home and go to bed. I’m kinda tired.” Gamesia cttujU Jlcui Will A tA rl ita+He+U We the class of 1943 of Union Free High School, City of Crandon, County of Forest, United States of America, being about to leave this institution for the trials and tribulations of a cruel world being sound both physically and mentally, do hereby bequeath on this twenty-seventh day of May the following worthy possessions, characteristics, habits, and what have you, to the following and probably ungrateful, receivers: We, the Seniors in the American History class, give to the Juniors, our history books.

PRESIDENT—BILL PLUMMER VICE PRESIDENT—DARLEEN GRAVITTER SEC.-TREAS.—PAULINE TAYIX)R The class of 1944 still ranks first in size, as well as in school activities. Some first places that they “walked off” with are the homecoming float. Scrap metal drive, and the class tournament. It was a member of the junior class, Alfred Schmidt, who won first place in the forensic contest. The main show of the Senor Carnival is tradionally in the hand of the junior class. The play that was presented by this year’s Juniors was a smash hit, “Hanging Uncle Henry.” The cast was as follws: Emily Wendell ...........—-..... Pauline Taylor Hobart Wendell ..........—-.......Milton Fannin George Sampson ..............-.....Robert Davis Clara Sims................-....Marion Woodbury The big day of the year for the Juniors is, of course, the Junior Prom. A prom during war times wouldn’t be appropriate unless it followed a patriotic theme—therefore, the class decided to decorate the gymnasium in patriotic style. The Prom took place on May 14, and A1 Wagner and his orchestra furnished the music. The theme of the dance was, “When the Lights Go on Again, All Over the World.” Red, white and blue paper streamers and spruce boughs converted the gymnasium into a place of glory and beauty. The huge “V” in red, white, and blue paper at the back of the stage was a symbol of the hope that is in the heart of every American—the hope of victory. The Juniors had a new class advisor this year, in the person of Mr. Donohue, who has guided them faithfully through all their triumphs anci tribulations. —14— Back row: Donald Kline, Bill 'Plummer, Jesse Derickson, Jack Kunz, Clifford Gerald, Armund Bartz, Mathew Jones, Charles Padour, Homer Rosa, Kenneth Juetten, Melvin iFulk, Alfred Schmidt, Eddie Cronce.

With the theme “We’re sitting on top of the world” the Sophomores won first place in the Homecoming window decoration. Their initiation, featuring stunts by the Freshman, took place in the afternoon with the initiation dance that night. During the class basketball tournament they were beaten in a class game by the Seniors but took third place when they conquered the Freshman. The Sophomore class was well represented in the declamatory contest, having five of their talented members participating. An Easter edition of “Hi Lights” was published and was a great success. The Sophomores again had Miss Bowden as their class advisor. 'I Our Sophomore class has earned our praise They’ve done their best this year. Let’s only hope they keep it.up-.

The hunter mounts his great white horse, The hounds give joyful tongue. They catch the scent and break away; The hunters follow in bright array— Follow the hounds without delay Over the hunting course. The wee red fox does fleetly fly; A sleek red flash in the sun. He knows that he must flee or die, For then the deed is done. I hope, the wee fox will excape; His life, to him, is precious. To men, it’s nothing but a sport, So let’s not be judicious.

Their appreciation was shown by a return dance for the Sophomores, with the new “Melody Aces” furnishing the music. This dance was well attended and everyone had a good time. The Freshman class is proud of the record our football and basketball teams made and their boys who are considered part of them. At the Declamatory Contest Ardena Kendall received the honor of first place in humorous declamations. The Freshmen classes a wide-awake, energetic group, and like a mischievous child, needs a firm hand to lead it. That had this firm but kind hand in their class advisor, Mr. Netzel. Their President, Lorraine Sparks, has also done her share in leading her class through the intricacies of high school activities. Here’s to the gang of Freshmen green, They’re the peppiest you’ve ever seen. We will wager that they’ll go far They’ve hitched their wagon to a star. , . . • . . rf Back row: Curtis Kincaid, Donald Olinger, Lawrence Deitzkow, John Macauley, Robert Purdy, Carl Hanes, Howard Campbell, Charles 'Derickson, Darrel Deaton, Everett Beam, Bill Duff, Marshall Johnson.

The team beat Eagle River in the second game of the season breaking Eagles’ record of 43 straight victories. Another major triumph of the season was breaking the Wabeno “jinx”. It was a tough battle but we won. The team will lose six Seniors that are graduating or have entered the armed forces. At least three Juniors will also be lost to the squad through enlistments and the draft. Nine out of the eleven first team players were placed on the All-Conference teams, three of whom made the 1st team: Juetten, Tinsman and Sam Hoenig. Although Homecoming Day dawned miserably cold and wet it was brightened by the fact that Crandon trounced Minocqua in spite of a muddy field. An acting Captain was picked for each game.

Crandon upset the powerful Rhinelander squad by a score of 35 to 34 in one of the most thrilling games of the year. Another close battle took place when the team fought it out with Laona here at Crandon nosing the Kellys out 26 to 25. Coach Hansen is very pleased with the way the season turned out after losing three of the 1st team players before all the games had been played. The team entered the Rhinelander Tournament on March 5 and played three games in two days, winning 4th place. Schedule November 10—Elcho, .30 to 15. November 13—Eagle River, 31 to 19.

At the first meeting of the C Club, the following officers were elected: Elmer Sparks, president; Joe Klass, vice president; and Robert Carter, secretary-treasurer. When these boys left to join the service, the following officers were elected to take their places: Robert Rowlinson, president; Pete Predeth, vice president; and David Rowlinson, secretary-treasurer. The club took an active part in the Homecoming activities, entering a float in the parade and sponsoring the Homecoming dance which was one of the most successful ones of the school year. After the football and basketball seasons were completed and the championships won, the need arose for more capital to pay for awards for the players, as all awards are bought by the C Club. It was decided to take a collection at the class tournaments to raise a portion of the amount. The C Club wishes to thank all those who contributed to this enterprise. The class tournament began on Wednesday, March 10, with the Freshmen pitted against the Juniors, and the Sophomores against the Seniors. The Juniors and Seniors were victorious the first day, so they played each other in the finals on Friday night. The Juniors defeated the Seniors, putting them in first place and the Seniors in second. The Sophomores ended in third place and the Freshmen in fourth.

She deserts Bobby, her well-mannered boy friend, for Dick Royster, who sneaks the combination to Uncle Warren’s safe and tries to get Gay to elope with him. Dick’s real identity is revealed by Annette just in time to save Gay, who is once more united with Bobby. A pinsetter’s life is hard and steady, You’re always there and you’re always ready. Someone comes in and you’re off with a start. You race to the pits as fast as a dart. You slam in the pins and you set the rack down; They bowl another one and you’re off with a frown. After you set for quite a long time, You wish it were the very last line. You’re tired and you’re sleepy; oh, how your back aches! You dred to think of how long it takes. The game is over and you’re out of the pit. And you hit for the seats and rest a little bit. Well, the night is almost at an end When in come some more around the bend. You’re the only one there so you walk to the pit, This time you couldn’t even rest a little bit. So, do as I say and you’ll never set pins. Or you will die before the day ends. Woline. Director: Miss Groth. 7 4e Pi+vieiteA. Everett Beam. The American flag waving high in the sky Is a symbol of freedom to you and I. Long may it wave O’er the land of the brave And may it never fall , But go on waving for us alL The axis leaders may brag But they’ll never take our flag. For they haven’t the courage For us to discourage And we’ll lick them with ease Whenever we please.
