Thus, personalities, classes, activities, and many other phases of scholastic life are brought out in this volume, in an effort to preserve the memory of the trials and hardships, joys and successes, which characterize those happy years. -The Class of 1944.

The following year Mr. Larson was a student in attendance at the Eau Claire State Teachers College and competed here, also, in the same sports-football, basketball, and baseball. A traveling salesman, selling school supplies and class rings, was his occupation for the subsequent year. Returning to Eau Claire Teachers College, Mr. C. P.

CLASS OFFICERS President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Harold Teck William Morien lack loubert Bruce Lercher Freshman Class The crop of freshmen harvested in the fall of 1943 proved to be of bumper proportions. One hundred and forty-eight strong, these stary-cyed lrosh enrolled to set a new high for dear old Washington High. These Frosh gave to us many illustrious personalities who proved to be outstanding figures in school life. The so-called youngsters were well represented in all phases of school life, particularly in athletics and in music. We really must give credit where credit is due: the Frosh certainly have a lot of pep and school spirit, which was shown by the Freshmen float taking first place in the Homecom- ing parade with Victory Weds New London. We pay homage to the Freshmen because they have so successfully passed the test. They came through with flying colors. They've passed the days of anguish in which they didn't know their locker coms and how to find their next class with the least possible diffi- culty. They really did Uenter to learn and having done so they now enter the realm of the upper-classmen. May they do as much for the school in succeeding years as they have in the past. 1 1 T ag g gg Page Sixteen TDI' I'II l'l'RI'I I5Al'I1 ROW: G. I lu11k1-1', ll. I 1'itz, I . IIl'2lII1IOI', A.

H. S. The Sophomore class has a very high scholastic ability proved by the large number of students on the honor roll. ln addition to being a scholastic group, they are well represent- ed in athletics and all other extra-curricular activities, not excluding the Top Hats. Among the ranks of our gallant Sophs we have numerous speech students. These ener- getic persons spend their time attempting to learn how to argue the shirt off a Scotchman's back. Then, too, this up and coming class turned out a very good performance in their one-act play, entitled, An Eye For Business. This class has now passed through the horrors of algebra and biology and the girls now utter a prayer of thanks that their gym days are over. And so good-bye to the underclass- men days and hurrah for the Iuniorsl i Pag. Eighteen TOP I'li l'l'RlC BACK ROXY mln-fl In riuhtj: 'l'. l 1'in-Ixxlmgn-x', IC. ISii1xk,'I'.Gul1p4Ix, II. frznin, C.

Early last fall the football season brought out such athletes as: Bob Ioubert, Carl Bellile. Maryin Dent, Wallace Bergmann, Ercel McPeak, and Bob Frank. Then, too, the following were donated for the basketball season: Ercel McPeak, Bob Ioubert, Iack Lemke, Clifford Gerndt, and Edward Iagoditsch. The Iuniors also did their best in dramatics and Forensics. lim Cristy and Margorie Breitung making up a debate team. Three Iuniors were initiated into Dramatics. Last, but not least, the music department was favored with: lim Cristy, Neva Kuppernus, Lois Linberg, Gloria Fisher, Delores Smith, Gordon Rusch, Iack Lemke, Vernon Voltz, Ioyce Krause, Maxine Gaddis, Eugene Krause, and Valois Krueger. As in previous years, the problem was the prom. After much discussion they finally came up with the theme Apple Blossom Time. Many hours were spent making apple blossoms and painting a picket fence. Harold Ferrons orchestra was engaged for the prom. Because of a slight deficiency in the treasury, the Iuniors sponsored a Sadie Hawkins Day Dance with the added feature of a basketball game between the faculty and the Iuniors. We can truthfully say the Iuniors did 'Enter to Learn', and will 'Go forth to serve'. Page Twenty ww TOI' PII'TI'Rl'l BACK ROW: U. Iiellilo, M. Dent, VV. Ii4'l'J.YIYl2lI1I1, G. Allen, J, Fristy, H.

Ruth Wainer The Thespians is the National Honorary Dramatic Society for high schools. The aim of the Thespians is to create a spirit of active and intelligent interest in dramatics among boys and girls of the secondary schools. The Thespian Troupe of our school, Troupe 119, guided during the past two years by Miss Schielke, is an organization of which we can be proud. On February 24th this chapter presented their annual three-act play, entitled Papa Is All. The one-act play con- test in which all four classes participated, also was sponsored by this organization. One of the highlights of the activities of the Thespians this year was a beautiful and very impressive formal initiation, held in December, in which thirteen new members were admitted to the Troupe. May the traditions of the Thespians live on in years to come and may all future mem- bers succeed in upholding the Thespian motto- Act well your partfTherein all honor lies.

Thespian Play PAPA IS ALL The play, chosen by Miss Scheilke, the director and troupe sponsor, was one of tre- mendous originality. lt was of a typ: which had never been presented on our stage before. and we must give credit to the cast for the fine job they did with it. There were only six characters in the entire play, thus giving major roles to every member, which they portray- ed with perfection. The play was written entirely in Pennsylvania Dutch dialect. It was the story of a family which was ruled by the iron-hand of Papa . Kept from modern in- ventions and their own personal freedom, they grew rebellious. Papa is accidently killed , but in the third act mysteriously returns to the dismay of all. The Upoleece-man , comes to the rescue of the family and takes Papa OH' to jail, so all is well with the Aukamps . Suninr Blass Play NINE GIRLS After wceks of screaching their lungs out, hitting each other with stove-pokers, and opening closet doors concealing dead bodies, the all-girl cast was finally ready, due to the coaching of their director, Miss Thompson, to give their final productiongof a blood-curdl- ing drama, Nine Girls . The cast was a most unusual one, but one of extreme ability. The story centered around a girl of an unfortunate background and who had been taken camping with some of her sorority sisters of considerable wealth. Murder stalks the cabin and the climax was one very surprising to an audience of nearly 700 people. The cast of characters for Nine Girls is pictured on the next page.

Adleman I-lll Snhnnl Play 'revere since Eva The curtain was drawn, March 30, to reveal a newly constructed office of a high school newspaper, The Penguin. The plot evolves around the typical example of an editor of such a paper. I-le and the rest of the masculine staff are oblivious to the whims of the weaker sex, but not to those of a Southern Belle who is a new arrival at their school. However, as the story deepens and the difficulties expand, the fair femmes are found to be the most reliable. Outside of an epidemic of measles, and illegally operated pin-ball ma- chines, everything turned out to the best advantage of everyone concerned. Between the second and third acts, flowers were presented by the cast to the director, Miss Thompson. Nine Girls Left to Right: R. Wainer, G. Murphy, M. Maxted, M. Hartquist, I. Gaddis, E. I.

While the soloists worried over their tone quality and pitch, the rest of the Chorus practiced their harmonious chords until the thirty- seven voices blended as one. An outstanding event in the year's activities was the presenta- tion of the Christmas Concert which was held December 14. At the beginning of the second semester the Girls' Glee Club was organized to carry the work begun by the Mixed Chorus to a successful close. Girls' lilac Illuh H. Freeman. Miclclli' Row: Y.

When winter threatened the soccer field, things began to happen on the basketball court, with shoot and steps becoming the passwords. Soon bowling got under way, with a well-balanced diet of strikes and gutterballs. The evening of April 21, found many of the girls doing a fine job of displaying their talents in Gym Night. Balmy spring breezes brought several teams onto the softball Held, where a very successful season was brought to an end.

Debate The successful season of the Washiiigtoil High School Debaters was brought to a close at the State debate tournament held at Madison in the Capitol building, March 9, 10, and ll, at which New London won third place honors. Due to the tireless efforts of the stu- dents and their coach, W. E. Donnelly, 7576 of all debates for both HA and B teams, werei won. The debaters lost only 13 out of the 52 contest debates in which they particiu pate . The squads started the season off in true fashion by taking first place at De Pere, win- ning ll out of l2 debates. Later, at Merrill, they tied for first place. Next, at the tourna- ment held at Wisconsin Rapids, they repeated their tournament success by again tying for first place. At the elimination contest at Menasha they won district honors, thus mak- ing them eligible for the State tournament at which they took third place. Perhaps the most outstanding piece of work accomplished was at the State N.F.L. tournament held at Mar-- quette University, Milwaukee, at which the teams tied for Hrst place, something New London had never achieved before.

Schnnl-Ilaze The School-Daze is the bi-monthly publication of the high school journalism class. under the direction of Miss Krueger. The School-Daze is edited by Dorothy Giebel and George Hanlon, and some of those amusing cartoons found in the various copies this past year were drawn by Bonnie Lercher. Copies of the paper are distributed throughout the school through the energetic efforts of the members of the staff. This organization has proved very beneficial to the school in that it has brought our students in contact with the activities of other schools through the exchange system em- ployed, and has improved the morale of the servicemen by the copies sent to them. May the School-Daze continue it good work and produce many budding young lournalistsn in the future. I Page Thirty-seven Ki....1f'T ...ELM 'f W 'FOI' PM 'l'l'RIC A W Iv -G 7 - . .... ..... .-Q-.... .

Basketball HA squad In future years, when you are alumni and are looking in retrospect at your high school days. one of the most memorable items will be the success with which the basketball team of '44 met. At the outbreak of the cage season, in November, it was generally accepted in conference circles that New London would finish in the upper division. Few foresaw the culmination of the season at Madison in the State Tournament. The Bulldogs, after breaking even in non-conference play. took the first four conference ball games. Only one of these at Menasha, was close. With a clean slate we were ready to tackle the Shawano Indians. who also boasted no defeats and were favorites for the Slate Tournament, preceding their defeat in the New London Sectional. of course. Fifteen hundred fans went away from the game in low spirits, 500 jubilantly. Shawano had knocked us out of the undefeated ranks. This was not enough to stay the winability of the New London team, however, and they proceeded to add three more conference victories to their already impressive record. Then came one space that leaves a sour taste in our mouth. Everyone figuring on taking Shawano two weeks hence seemed to forget that we had to play Clintonville the week before. The Truckers won by two points. but were the better ball club on the floor that night. The boys, playing their hearts out, were again topped by bhawano but looked the part of the better team. One point was all that kept that contest from going into an extra period. The tournaments were a topic of much conversation. New London, favorites at the Neenah Regional. didnt let anyone down and came through to win a place in our own Sectional tor Sub-Statel meet. Amigo. New London, Stevens Point, and Shawano were the participants. The Bulldogs, really underdogs, displayed sur- prising ball playing in the Championship game with the Point and gained a berth at lVladison. The State Tournament! A Here, as has been stated, the Bulldogs just couldnt get going and were beaten by the Old Alves of ILau Claire. 'I heir last game saw them in their usual form against l'omah in which the Red and VVhite of New London reached the highest heights ever attained, taking consolation honors tThird Illacel in the State Tourney. Yes, we shall long remember the success with which the Basketball team of '44 met. CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM . -.-. tit . I , ' . I. ' 1 J if . if, 'iff A . 9 :-v -.::-:: E : Q X, :- ,.,. .:,. ., Xi .. !

Track and Field The New London tracksters have high expectations for 44 with one letterman, other experienced boys, and the supplement of some good green material . lt will be hard to lill the shoes of such able boys as Don Kringle. Bob Rossey, Leon Graupman, Don Crain, and a host of others who carried the Bulldogs banner on high last year. But with Louie Stern. Carl Bellile, Marv Dent, and lim Bodoh as a nucleus, the outcome should not be down- heartening. There are four meets on the ledger for this year. They are: A dual with Clintonville, a triangular with Watxpaca and Menasha, the conference meet, and the District at Appleton. Maybe some of the boys will be good enough to qualify for the state meet. Track is by far the best body conditioner of all varsity athletics and requires as much, if not more, stamina as any other type of athletic activity. Mr. Cv. M. Charlesworth is coach of track.

President Vicc'-President Secretary Trcasurcr GEORGE HANLON IEAN PRAHL DOROTHY BOEHM SYLVIA RUNGE Seniur Blass The scene was Washington High School in the year 1940, and wide-eyed freshmen were trying frantically to lind the hidden process that would open their lockers. Ahh, how far we have come since that day, four long years ago. Even as frosh we began setting the standard which we have followed during this time, To the astonishment of our elders , the freshmen produce the B team of the debate squad, and took lirst place honors in the one-act play contest. As sophomores. we Contributed 3 large number of men to athletics-men who later excelled in this same Held. It was at this time. too, that the young Romeos and Iuliets began taking part in the major dramatic productions offered by the school. To our great surprise, our class, as Iuniors, took first place among the Homecoming floats. But the spotlight points with pride at the truly spectacular eventmthe Iunior Prom-made especially beautiful by the Statue of Liberty rising above all else, and the large American flag looking down from the ceiling. V Ilow often the scene has changed since that Hrst day in 1940. Now we are seniors, and our class has been slightly depleted by those serving their country. But by this time, we have added a large number of attainments to the rapidly growing list. An excellent debate squad was composed of seniors: the first five on the championship basketball team were seniors: and many of our seniors took high honors in forensics and music during the Spring. Yes, our days have been successful ones, but all too short. It is our fond hope that the Senior Class of 1944 will never be forgotten.
