G. gave his fatherly words of advice. During this time they learned the traditions and rituals of the school such as the collecting of debris, not mentioning from where, for the Annual Homecoming Bonfire. To Webb Schulte goes the honor of discovering “the boy wonder. Lester Jones, commonly known as Joncsy. the only boy in our class to make the football team in his Freshman year. Amid many bumped shins and other places, the girls learned to play Hockey under the supervision of Miss Erdlitz. In our Sophomore year, though some of us were still very undecided as to how to act at social affairs, several leaders blossomed forth, finally leading the rest of us into the spotlight. We got into our social stride during our Junior year, while preparing for the great annual event, the Junior Prom, for which every one got out the old formal dress-up duds. This great event was led by our selection for President, Howard Fenner and his chosen Queen, Genevieve Ross. The Class Picnic might have been a howling success had it not rained. Now we are high and mighty Seniors. Many think us very proud, but why shouldn't we be? We, who have conquered all the hated etmrses. This great Senior Class of 1932 bn: ught forth many outstanding football men. Harry Stafford, Lester Jones, Robert Kitcman, better known as Piney, Bowler Llewellyn. Howard Fenner. William Hewes. the two plunging Christiansen brothers. Lester and Albert. Nevens DeVoy, and last but not least Donald Hessler and Andrew Tully. Many of these same hoys are on the basket Kail team. Marlene Nelson. Editor-in-chief of this great “Delhi, Betty Cameron, Eileen Gage, the dreamer. Val Brown, Vera Utiger and Kendrick Williams, are part of the so-called post-graduates, which we collected to help the class. Although we leave school with regrets, we are comforted by the fact that we are leaving it in better condition than we found it in. We challenge the Juniors to leave such a chapter as ours.

This year, Marlene Nelson, with an average of 93.8, was awarded the honor of valedictorian and was closely followed by Janet Stewart with the average of 93.3. Other Seniors receiving an average of 89l 2 or above were Eileen Gage, Laurel Johnson, Dorothy Biasing, Viola Doebert and Bowler Llewellyn. In a panoramic view of school activities, it was found that these Seniors not only were outstanding in scholastic attainment but in other phases of schixil life and leadership. 119) .IJmu'iuj Directed by Miss Esther Cl rrif. Presented by the Class of J932 at the Delavan Theater, Friday, May 13. The Jonesy of the title is Wilbur Jones, who comes home from college bringing a fraternity brother with him. Engaged to the girl next d«Jor. his vagrant fancy is attracted by the ingenue of a local stock company. His father and mother assume that he is trying to elope with the actress, and try to save him. Before they discover that the girl is the niece of their most influential townsman, the man from whom senior Jones hopes to get a gtxxl job, they have let themselves in for many embarrassing complications. With this matter reasonably adjusted, they make the further discovery that their son has sold the family car to pay his poker debts, and when the father attempts to recover the car he is arrested. Many humorous complications arise that unravel themselves into a happy ending.

Since then, the members of this class have been among the leaders in the athletic, scholastic, and social activities of Delavan High School. The masculine members have Ivcn in the limelight in football and basketball. Among the most outstanding arc Edward (Red) McCullough, Francis Lyons, Edward Boutelle. Robert Winnie. Ernest Mulligan, and Laurence Hollister, who has been elected captain for ’33, and last but not least, the much coveted honor of manager of the squad was captured by our esteemed classmate, Meryln Campbell. The feminine members of the class have also done their bit toward winning honors in the field of athletics. The Junior Class was represented this year by a champion basketball team. They are also champions in hockey, baseball, and volley-ball. D's were received in the Freshman year for track by five girls. The Junior Class has carried the scholastic honors of Senior High. Elinor Dunham, we are proud to say, has had one of the highest averages in Senior High for the past three years. Then. too. as a lasting monument of our scholastic ability, three members of our class, when freshmen, were honored by having their names inscribed on the Delavan High Honor Roll. This year the Juniors had charge of the most important social event of the year. The President of the Class. Eugene Gorraley, with his sister, led the prom. The Juniors worked hard to make this the best prom in the history of Delavan High School. Fi„, row: J. Byrne . II. Yarfon. V. Siwnecr. II. O’Neill. I. I.lewcllvn. X. Bert on. M. Wickcrt . B.

The first week passed rapidly, but during the second week, school lxx� ks cried out in vain; everyone was too busy eating hot dogs and riding on the merry-go round at the County Fair to study. We all enjoyed the ftx tball games in the fall, and at the Homecoming we made our debut into High School Society. December 6 is a day to he long remembered. Dick Rice passed his Latin test and June Van Veher got a zero in Algebra. But still the day was not complete, because Allyn Coming failed to ask one question in Latin, and Leonard Kaiser came to school without a hag of candy. No Freshman will ever forget January' 22 we passed into Senior High. Unfortunately only half of the class received coveted seats in the big assembly, because the ’’nine semester students just couldn't bear to leave the old torture chamber.” The week following our class officers were elected. Now our President and Secretary-Treasurer carry on many serious discussions, hut we all know that they are not talking “class business. In the spring, we all ttxik part in the many social activities of the school and to our enjoyment many of our delightful couples had the opportunity of attending the prom. Our first chapter is almost ended, hut before writing finis it must he added that Marjorie Derby, of our class, had the honor of receiving first place in the 1932 Declamatory contest. 1241 Artiintirs 1251 Fir t row: M.

True to custom many successful social and educational programs were promoted during the year. In addition to exchanging meetings with clubs of neighboring towns, the Hi Y sponsored a carnival to earn money for the Community Chest Fund. A dance was also given, trips to Racine and Janesville were taken, and several feeds were enjoyed. The club was active in athletics, having a kitten ball team and a championship basketball team. The Hi Y believes in four-square development; physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually. The square is also expressive of the Hi Y platform: Clean Speech, Clean Sportsmanship.

The girls studied many units among which were hospitality, interior decoration, and home management. By selling hot dogs at the home football games and candy at the basketball games, the group earned enough money for two pewter tea sets and a pewter bowl, which were presented to the Home Economics Department of the School. An interesting course in Advanced Clothing was again offered this year. The beginning of the semester was devoted to the study of costume designing and clothing selection. Many lovely garments were made, and the spring style-show exhibited the efforts of the girls. 135] Annual School Exhibit Hlanual Arts In 1930, because of the increase in the Manual Training Department, the shop was moved into the old gym.

The second semester, the Clubs concentrated on music for the Southern Wisconsin Music Festival held at Janesville, April 29. A spring concert was given in May, in which all participated. The last event of the year was the music for Commencement and Baccalaureate.

The scenery and costuming, that were made by the Manual Training and Home Economics Departments, respectively, made the setting for the Dutch operetta very quaint. A nice sum of money was realized, with which the robes for the Glee Club were purchased. The cast included: Robert Boardman, Eugene Gormley, Ncvens Dcvoy, Lois Van Matre, Bowler Llewellyn, Robert Davis, Dolores Howard. Marion Gundry, Lloyd Helves, Howard Fenner. The choruses consisted of: Dutch girls, Dutch boys, the Queen's court ladies, nurses, sailors, and soldiers on the guard. 1401 iwial 141) On Thursday, October 29th. a thundering horde, apparently tramps earnestly obtaining material for the bonfire that preceded the ilhfated homecoming foot ha 1' game and dance on October JOth. was seen all over town. The traditional snake dance, starting from Phoenix park and winding its hilarious way through the main street, was led by the prideful football stars and the hoarse, hut still courageous cheer leaders. It stopped at ThirJ street and Walworth Avenue, and gave several zippy yells to the amazement of the bystanders. At the bonfire the “dancers ' again added much pep to our rituals” by following the three cheer leaders who made up for their lack of voice by increase of movement. In spite of our lamentable defeat by Walworth, the homecoming dance, in our gymnasium, was a huge success, due to the big turnout of high school students and alumni, to the beautiful and original blue and gold decorations, and to “Bud” Spaights' Orchestra. 21 flrnmpna r Season The most anticipated event of the year, the Junior Promenade, was held on May 21. Eugene Gormlcy and his sister, Helen, who is a student at the University of Wisconsin, led the grand march. The dancers were received into a Spanish Garden enclosed by a stone wall covered by moss, and flower gardens were tucked away in little corners. A big yellow moon, a sky of midnight blue with little twinkling stars made one feel like “In a Little Spanish Town twas on a Night Like This. In one corner of the garden, there was a little raised balcony from which two girls, dressed in Spanish costume, served punch to quench the thirst ot the dancers. The tango was done to the music of Harry Fitzgerald and his orchestra of Rockford. Superintendent and Mrs. Edward G. Lange. Messrs, and Mmes. R D Lowe, W. S. Dupre, D. E. La Bar. and Miss Louise Jacobson, were in the receiving line with Eugene Gormlcy, Helen Gormlcy. Bowler Llewellyn and Marion Gundry. H31 Mortal Artimtirs The Senior class, having the new faculty members as guests, threw a big dance on October 8th. The people attending this dance were mostly students from our high school, but there were a few alumni present, who weren't quite used to the idea of not being high school students. The music was thumped out by the Olson Joy-Boys. Everyone who attended the dance reported a very good time. Some of the Junior class members were seen flying about making the preparations for the dance to be held in our gymnasium on November 25th. The dance was well attended by both high school students and alumni, among whom were Evadna Jane Burgett, Clifford Liddle. Arthur Jackson, and Charles Hciss of Beloit College; Norma Jean Sturtevant, Mary Kuglicsch, “Joe” Sturtevant, and Gertrude Gam of White-water Teachers College, who were home for the Thanksgiving vacation. Saturday, December 19th, the members of the lesser-half of the Senior class were hosts and hostesses at a dance for the alumni who were home for the Christmas holidays. The gymnasium was decorated in holly, pme trees, and red and green paper giving the place a Christmasy atmosphere. Haase and his Merry-Makers were the inspiration of the evening. The Junior class sponsored a dance to commemorate the bicentennial of Washington s birthday, on February 20th. The gymnasium was decorated in red, white and blue, and several girls were seen wearing the patriotic colors. Ken Robinson's Aces were exceptionally good that evening, so that everyone fell like dancing. Mr. and Mrs. Lange, Misses Currie, Hargis, Fulkerson, Jacobson, and McCoy, Messrs. Schultz and Browne were the chaperons for the evening. AtliUtira COACH WEBB SCHULTZ Coach Webb Schultz came to Dclavan m 1925 and immediately started to build up champion teams. When he came, the material was ragged, but a team was built up. that won five out of seven games the first year. In 1926 Deiav.m won six out of seven games, and in 1927, Coach Schultz had his first 1000% team, which won seven out of the seven games played, and in 1928 Delavan was again undefeated, winning seven out of seven games played. The season of 1929 the “Schultz-men” held their opponents scoreless, while they themselves piled up 159 points in six games. In 1930 the squad had lost many veterans and was handicapped by the lack of experience; however, the team, winning the Southern Five League, won five out of seven games. This year, 1931, Coach Schultz was probably more seriously handicapped by the lack of seasoned players and by a smaller squad than any other year of his coaching career at Delavan. Injuries or ineligibility to first string players meant that he had to substitute men with little experience or ability in handling their positions. In the four years the Southern Five Conference has been organized, Delavan has won two championships, and tied for one. Coach Schultz won a place in the hearts of all Delavan students and friends. His ability and policy for clean athletics has earned the respect which he now commands. I)..null! O’Neill, Robert Winters John llyrnes 1461 F«i t C. Pnlnujirr, I . I.lcwdivn, L. HnllUter. I..

Captain-elect 160 pound Tackle. “Holly” was chosen to lead the 1952 team because of the aggressiveness and fight which he displayed this season. Hollister was a stone wall on defense, a strong blocker and opened some nice holes on offense. He was one of the largest men on the team and very shifty. He has two more years of competition. Lester Jones 125 pound Quarterback. Les” was probably the smallest man on the squad, and in the league, but was a hardy consistent fighter. Jones specialised m running Kick punts for long gains.

This was “Wax's” second year at tackle and he filled the bill in fine shape. He got across the line quickly, broke up many plays before they got under way, was down under punts rapidly, and often nailed his man in his tracks. Injuries kept him out of later games. MSI George Reed H ? pound End. “Rod” played end and was a fighter from beginning to end. He was a good blocker, strong on defense, and was down under punts in line shape. Few gains were made around him. Robert Winnie 130 pound Guard. “Bob was one of the scrappiest men on the squad. Aggressiveness and fight characterized his play at all times. Because he was a good tackier, he could usually Iv found .it the bottom of the pile-up. He was also an accurate passer and performed well from the pivot position. Edward Boutelle I4f pound Fullback- Boutclle, a fast stepping fullback who made a name as a dash man on the track, took his speed with him on the football field and showed a clean pair of heels to more than one opponent. “Ebbo . before finishing at Delavan, will be Kick on deck next fall for another season. Lester Christiansen 210 pound Guard. “Pete substituted for both tackle and guard. He was a hard worker and was especially good at stopping enemy charges. He was the largest man on the team.

Howard Fenner MO pound Quarterback Fenner was one of the best blockers on the team. He handled the ball suitably and was especially strong on quarterback sneaks. For interference he was a hardy hitter and a valuable man. Francis Lyons ISO pound Full and Halfback “Franny” showed real worth at half and fullback positions. In addition of being a good plunger and hard driver, he is a fast and shifty runner. When they report for practice next fall he will be back into his position. William Heaves 16$ pound Center.

His work, although not of a spectacular type, was marked for its consistency and steadiness. In the line he was a tower of strength. His size and fight, made him one of the best linesmen on the squad. 1501 Nevens DeVoy i ?0 pound Tac lc. A hard driver and a g xxi tackier. “Nebby, in his senior year, earned his letter as a substitute guard and tackle. He played a very commendable game at both positions. Clarence Palmatier 160 pound End. Pomp filled Reed's shoes very nicely when the latter was not in the game. Although this was his first year, he developed into a very dependable end. He started some of the games and will be back for more next year. Ernest Milligan 145 pound Guard. Ernie” played a very favorable game this year as substitute guard. He is an aggressive player and a good defensive man. After having worked seriously as a substitute for two seasons, he earned his letter this year. Edward McCoullough 155 pound Guard. Red, the fifteen year old guard. Stepped into his position in his first year on the team and performed like a veteran. Red is strong and is especially good at opening holes for the ball earners. Many times Red broke through the opponent's line to nail the runner before he even started. Robert Kitzman 145 pound Halfback Pincy was one of the best blockers on the team. On backing up the line he was a tower of strength. He was mighty liard to stop and often eluded would-be tacklers by side steppings. Ineligibility kept him out of the last few games. 1511 Fir a row: P. McSorley, J. Dunwiddfe, J. Dcwhner. Second row: II. Ktulitn . S Browne, J. Byrne . I O'Neill, K. Kle tne. II O'N'dll.

The team was composed of about twenty five boys, among which were a number of good players who should make future varsity material. In the two or three games that they played the High School seconds, the yearlings proved to be a hard-fighting, well-coached outfit. The team was under the direction of T. E. Kilkenny, of the Mathematics Department. It is thought that the freshman football team will do much in developing football players in Delavan. It is difficult to pick out any particular hoys who have been outstanding on the squad, as they arc all players of merit, in each of their respective positions. In the future wc hope to be able to see them in action on the High School team. 1521 iSrstunr of lBaakptball Sraaon 1031 -1932 % MANAGER CAMPBELL The first call for basketball practice brought out thirty-five candidates. Among those returning were four lettermen of last year, Hesslcr, Stafford, Jones and Reed. The prospects of a winning team were average. In a week the squad was cut to twenty men, so basketball practice began earnestly. Keen competition in the Southern Five League was expected, since Burlington and Lake Geneva had veteran teams. Tying with Burlington for the championship in the Southern Five League, Dclavan won six out of eight games. This is the second year Delavan has won the crown, since the league was organized in 11 2 7. Stafford playing guard was the high scorer, followed by Reed and Jones, the two forwards. The team was managed efficiently by Campbell. Delavan won nine games out of fourteen for the season of 1931-1932. Partially through the loss of our star center, Hessler, Janesville eliminated Delavan at the tourna-ment by a close score of 20 to 18. (531 Firm r..w : II. Hiardmnn, K Milhiran, B. Hunt.

Although he was most always busy collect' ing points, he was able to cover his man on the defense. Donald Hhssi.hr Center Header was an unyielding consistent basketball player, and specialized in getting the ball of the backboard. He always could be counted upon to get the jump on the opposing center, and was an excellent player on the defense. Laurence Hollister Guard Hollister had a lot of fight, and proved to be a valuable man, as the season progressed. Singlehanded he broke up opponents plays. Hollister will lx back next year. Harry Stafford Guard Stafford was just as flashy as last year and played a fine game at his guard position. He was a g(x«J man to advance the ball and collected many points. 1551 Forward Gkoroe Reed “Haglc Eye” showed a great deal of improvement over hist year. He came through with several points, and contributed much to the floor work of the team. Great things will be expected of him next year. Irvine Llewellyn Forward “lrv, a very small and clever forward, developed wry rapidly. He was known as Dclavan's man of the minute. His speed was a great factor in confusing enemy-guards. Robert BOARDMAN Center or Forward “Bob” played either position and played them well. Defensive playing is Bob's con-tribution to the team. With this year's experience Boardman should make a good man as part of the nucleus next year. Howard Lerwick Forward Pete,” although handicapped by his size, made up for this in cleverness Hts floor-work was exceptionally good, and he was a very capable offensive man. Francis Lyons Guard “Fran” was one of the scrappiest guards in the conference. Although not flashy, he played a consistent game. He was always ready to play when needed. 1561 Ftr t row: I .
