SeMatHmti This year, we, the seniors of Jefferson High School, wish to dedicate our year book to Miss Ellen Marshall. Through the years she has patiently given her time and understanding lo help prepare us for a better future. We shall long- remember her interest, willingness to help, and her kindness. MR. RICHARD MARSHALL Superintendent of Schools Central State Teachers College, B. E. LaCrosse State Teachers College University of Wisconsin, M. Ph. MR. CARL HAGER Principal University of Wisconsin Whitewater State Teachers College Industrial Arts for Boys As you leave Jefferson High, pause a moment and look back. Can you say that your school days were a “glorious adventure”? Being in high school is a real thrill. Just being part of the every day life of four hundred of your kind is something to talk about. Surely the days in school are “the golden days”. No one can know just how much of it was searching for new ideas, working hard, having fun, studying or just killing time. While it was different for each of you, everyone had the opportunity to develop socially, morally, mentally and physically. Your measure of satisfaction will be proportional to the effort you gave forth to lake advantage of the tine stall' of teachers and the physical plant the people of Jefferson have provided for you. Young people, however, should look ahead. Life with its wonderful opportunities lies before you. There are new adventures, new joys and new experiences ahead for you. Tilt up your chin. Tell the world that even though she may he upset and troubled just now, that you are not afraid. Say to yourself, “I will succeed; I have the courage; my classmates and school will be proud of me yet.” Richard Marshall. MR. HAROLD DAVIES Principal of Grade School Wisconsin State Teachers College Whitewater Teachers College, B. E. Eighth Grade MISS JOAN YARN Secretary to Superintendent For four years, you have been a vital part of Jefferson High School. As a member of this school you have derived benefits. You have made contributions and have profited by receiving the contributions of others. As you have grown, so tiad the total enrollment of Jefferson high school grown, by 25%; and too, our accredited rating has also hit a new high for recent years. You have been a part of this growth. Your unselfish enthusiasm left little time to crowd much more into your High School life. Your future and your plans for the future will reflect the record which you made in your high school years. May you always have courage, enthusiasm, and industry in the new adventures and careers which you are about to face. Carl Hager. 23 oar ft of cfrttreHon _ MR. SIDNEY CHURCH President MR.

The smiling faces yon see above belong to the Senior Glass of 1053. Most of these people have wandered the halls of Jefferson High for the past three years and now. in this last year, they recall all the wonderful experiences of their school career. Early in the school year, the senior class advisor. Mr. Bronkalla, called a meeting of the seniors so that they could elect the class officers. The officers elected were as follows: president, Ron Kostroski; vice-president, Joe Schiferl; secretary-treasurer, Marian Bass. One of the most important events of the school year, the Midwinter Formal, was successful because of the combined efforts of the senior class and the annual staff. Many seniors will regret leaving the familiar faces of their classmates and friends. Of course, all the seniors will miss the friendly and cooperative teaching staff of the Jefferson High School. The seniors who are successful, and there will be many, will have Jefferson High School to thank for their positions.

Karly in the fall a group of confident new juniors climbed the steps of Jefferson High School. We were at last upperclassmen. We were determined to show everyone that we, as juniors, were going to do something. So we started tlie year at a fast pace by sponsoring the “Harvest Hop” which was one of the most successful dances of the year. Juniors are well represented in all school organizations, extracurricular events and sports. Although we didn’t do so well as far as honor students are concerned, we did begin to steadily improve. After the first quarter, things really began to fly for us. First, our class rings arrived. Next, we began preparations for our class play, which was a huge success. Then prom plans were in the air. Other years went fast for us, but our junior year seemed to fly much too rapidly. We 11 miss the patient help of Miss Rankin, our class advisor, but now we 11 say farewell to a very successful year.

How time does fly. It seems like only yesterday when we walked into J. li. S. as bewildered freshmen. It hardly seems possible that next year we’ll he coming back as upper-classmen. Although we are looking forward to the coming year, we will never forget our sophomore year with Miss Lei11 as our class advisor. Our class was well represented in all sports events. Not only did we have many players on the “11” teams, but many of them made the “A” teams. The “B” team players were cheered on by our six cheerleaders. We’re proud of our class for doing such a tine job of backing up the teams, not only as players and cheerleaders, but also as fans. Everyone feels we picked fine class officers and student council representatives. Extra curricular activities played an important part in making our social life more interesting and enjoyable. The many school dances were very popular throughout this year. £ The first half of our high school life has been most enjoyable and we hope to make the second half even more profitable.

Again this year, as for many years before, the Freshmen invaded Jefferson High with tlie largest class. Not only were we the largest class, but we probably had the distinction of being the noisiest class also. At the beginning of the year we had our class election and chose Fanny Mullens as our president. Mike Sucharski for vice-president and Evelyn Gottschalk as secretary-treasurer. Our class advisor was Mr. Frank. The “Freshies” not only invaded the school hut clubs and sports as well. The G.A.A. claimed the largest number of freshmen recruits. Following close behind this came F.H.A., F.F.A., football, basketball, Pen Staff, Band, Pep Band and Pep Club. On the whole all the freshmen of 1952-53 will agree that it’s been much fun to be a student at Jefferson High School, witli its classes, games, activities and work. We’ll all be glad to be able to call someone else “Green Freshies” next year when we will be sophomores.

The Annual Staff, under the supervision of Miss Farnsworth, again undertook the production of an Annual. The staff was headed by Anne Mueller. Editor, and Ron Kostroski, Business Manager. It contained members from the junior and senior classes, primarily.. Plans were barely laid for the Annual when preparations for Homecoming activities began. The staff, which sponsored this, worked hard to prepare an extra-special weekend for Jefferson High School. Then plans for a cover design, dedication, picture-taking, engraver's deadlines and finally the date with the printer kept the staff working busily until the Mid-winter formal. This event, sponsored by the staff, was one of the most successful in years. Finally pictures were in, copy was typed and the year book completed. Good luck to next year’s Editor, Bob Green, and Business Manager, Sharon Maxwell, who were elected by staff members early in the year. |Jrti 'taff FIRST ROW: Jean Schuld, Donna Berkley, Janis Sterling, Evon Brychell, Betty Ladien, Pat Wilier, Dixie Dum- mer.

Mr. Palmer, after seven years as the advisor of the Jefferson High School Student Council, was presented with a wrist watch from the Student Council before his departure at the end of the first semester. The Student Council greatly appreciated the fine guidance he had given us in helping us to make better representatives of the student body. Mr. Mullen was our new advisor for the second semester. For a majority of the year we sold candy. We sponsored a talent show which turned out to be successful and finally attended the tri-city meeting held at Heaver Dam on March 19. We feel we have helped to unite the school into a more democratic body during our work this year. FIRST ROW: Merrill Monogue, Bob Seitz, Jon Hotter, Ronnie Sinclair, Ed Quale, Allie Haas, Jerry Endl.

Athletics! What an important part they play and should play in school life. If you were to consider athletics as a study, you would find that no other subject taught in school would surpass it in value to the student. Latin, English, Mathematics, Science—train the pupil’s mind. They increase his intellect and his reasoning powers. But athletics develop the player’s mind, character and body. If athletics only benefited the body, they would still be very valuable. Athletics, as a developer of the body needs no explanation, but it is seldom thought of as a mind and character builder. An athlete is trained to he alert, to be ready to seize any opportunity and to make the most of it. He is taught the value of teamwork and cooperation, two qualities most necessary to learn if one is to obtain success in any enterprise. Players and spectators alike are taught to appreciate sportsmanship. Everyone surely agrees that the boys have obtained the qualities that are listed above—right? 5 A A V- At tlie end of school last year the following officers were elected: Evonne Brychell, president; Lois Westerman, vice-president; Helen Woodward, secretary-treasurer; Donna Lucas and Shirley Linder, pointkeepers; and Betty Tessman, Marilyn Mertens, and Margaret Schroeder, sportheads. This year the girls that signed up for G.A.A. helped to make this organization the largest in school. Initiation of the G.A.A. girls, a traditional event, was |uite different ttiis year. Instead of the regular initiation, the girls planned a “Help Nite” to raise money for a fund to help the injured athletes and physical education classmates. The G.A.A. members also attended two playdays, one at the University of Wisconsin and the other at Whitewater College High. They also held a big playday of their own on February 14. Bowling was added to the sport list which also included basketball. volleyball, and softball. The girls went all out for the sports available this year. We want to thank Miss Jasiorkowski for making our G.A.A a more successful organization. Chilt A crowded gym, packed bleachers, a fighting team, winning or losing the game, there was always an unbeatable spirit shown by the Pep Club. Whether our Alma Mater was in victory or defeat tlie Pep Club was always on band to cheer our team on. Our pep club, being the largest in Jefferson High School’s history, has certainly proved to be an active organization. For the Fort game, the girls formed a gauntlet from the locker room door to the middle of the football field to honor our football team. A different group of girls, at each game, sold candy at home basketball games. They sponsored a Hard Times dance after the Fort game which was indeed a success. You girls and fellows, both, who carry on with Jefferson High School's best sports tradition; we think you’ve done a splendid job. Much of the success of this year’s activities go to the officers: Dixie Dununer, president; Joyce Freidel, vice president; Barbara Blank, secretary-treasurer, and Miss Jasiorkowski, advisor. 3f. W . A The home and its influence is the strength of the nation. The purpose of our organization: “Learning to live better today in order that our lives and those of our families may he better tomorrow,” expresses this goal. Our motto is: “Toward New Horizons.” F. H.A., The Future Home Makers of America, had an enrollment of 71 members in the Fall of 1952. Mrs. Helen Barnes, the home economics teacher was the advisor. The officers for the year were: Beverly Probst, president; Eva Xiemer, vice president; Susan Reul, secretary; Shirley Haldi, treasurer; Dorothy Fischer, reporter and historian; and Darlene Filenius, sonar leader. In March, we took part in the demonstration contest. The winners from our local demonstration contest participated in the district and sectional contest. This was one of our most interesting events of the year. Many of our members are looking forward to attending the State F. H. A. camp at Green Lake in June. We hope to see many new members next year to. make our organization even a bigger success.

I hey have the ability to decide the best time for work: the best time tor play. To be an honor student one must have a rating ol at least 3.1? or above. Of course, there are several who have 4.0 but all ol these people are to be congratulated. Extra-curricular work also plays a part in these ratings and most of those students are active in one or more extra-curricular subjects. These people deserve the tribute offered to Him.

There have been innumerable students, not librarians who have aided Miss Ellen Marshall in preparing books for the shelves, cataloguing, typing, reading shelf list, dusting, and putting up bulletin boards. And so our library has been a co-operative organization attempting to meet the needs of the students and faculty. 3lmtinr Clnss 3JIan Jl m FIRST ROW: Joyce Friedel, Carol Puerner, Betty Schuff.

In their snappy maroon and tan uniforms the band always added color to the bleachers and put pep into the football and basketball games. 'I’lie students also enjoyed pep assemblies, and especially the marches that sent blood rushing through the veins of every full blooded Jefferson student. band officers elected for the year were Gerald Matters, president; Evon Brychell, vice president, and Anne Mueller, secretary-treasurer. This year as in other years our band has increased in number. The freshmen are getting along tine and are looking forward to higher seats in their sections. After the Christmas Concert was over everyone was looking forward to Mass Band. Mass Band was held at Pewaukee. Even though it was a long drive many of the parents were there.

This was done through exchange concerts with Milton. Lake Mills, and Kdgerton. As in previous years, we were entered into the Choir Contest. This was also held in Whitewater on May 16th. This year, we again gave our annual Spring Concert. The spotlight of this event was shared with the Hand and Glee Club.

With the beginning of the new Badger Conference, Coach Ralph Frank’s Eagles began working ont during the last two weeks of August. During the first week of practice, two promising candidates, Butch Krueger and Bill Aumann were injured and were inactive tlie rest of the season. Taking these setbacks in stride, the Eagles continued their strenuous drill. The first important encounter was with a strong Cambridge team. After a well played first half, the Eagles faltered in the second, and went on to lose the game. The first conference game was played with Edgerton and the Eagles came out with a decisive victory to start them out on a very successful season. Jefferson scored their second consecutive victory over a confident hut not strong enough Lake Mills team. The Eagles continued their fine play throughout the season defeating Wisconsin High, Fort Atkinson, and Beloit. The Eagles proved to be a fighting team when they held first place Stoughton to a tie.

Both have been active in football during their four years in high school. Don proved himself most valuable to his team mates by gaining 770 yards in this year's play. He was also recognized by every coach in the Badger Ten Conference for bis speed and bis ability to carry the ball. This was proved by Don’s being chosen unanimously as offensive halfback in the Badger Conference. He was also placed on the defensive first team. Those who have seen Don in action know he gave everything he had for the benefit of his team. His teammates knew be had the extra drive when it was needed. Now we’ll switch to another key player on the 1953 squad, Captain Keith Shannon who played football four years. He was also another All-Conference player, offensively and defensively. He missed the unanimous choice offensively by one vote. What Keith lacked in size he made up in team spirit and team play. He was constantly on the ball, and proved this by never giving up. “Skeeter was a good defensive line-backer and you’d always find him at the bottom of the pile. On offensive he played right end where he did a fine job of blocking. He also snagged many a pass. Keith’s career is lighted by the fine quality of leadership which he always displayed.

On November 8th, 1952, basketball practice got under way with only four let-termen returning—Captain Jim Monogue, Paul Rieck, Ron Pick, and Keith Shannon. Merrill Monogue was lost for the season due to an injury received in football. Other members on the “A” squad were Jon Hotter, Ron Biederman, Tom Sault, Bill Schiferl and Larry Mistele. Alternating were: Dick Davies, Tom Lucas, Ron Sinclair, Russel! Richardson and Bob Monogue. The team was small, but being scrappy, it was able to put up a hard fight at all times. The team’s fine work made their lack of height no hinderance. Twenty games were played with the strongest teams in this section, and whether win or lose, the team put forth a fine exhibition. The varsity five defeated Wisconsin High and Kvansville once in single contests against each of them. Cambridge, Oeonomowoe, and Lake Mills were defeated twice and the Eagles split games with Monroe, Milton Union, and Stoughton. They also lost two other games to Fort Atkinson and Middleton, in only one encounter with each of them. The Eagles ended their season with very favorable results.

At tlie beginning of the season. Couches Frank and Feel looked over the basketball material for the coming campaign. After a few practices the “A” squad was selected and the remainder of the boys were placed on the “B” squad. The “B” squad, which is coached by Mr. Peel, had a successful season in the newly organized Badger Conference. Competition proved to be rather tough for the B” team boys, but that didn't bother them any, as they played each game with a great deal of tight, spirit, and determination which made up for their inexperience. Team play and basic fundamentals were stressed this year in preparing the boys for the future Varsity. Those who watched the “B” team play saw excellent team work and sportsmanship. With these boys to depend on, the future of the Varsity Squad looks bright.

The many clubs in school all worked to make it one beautiful line of floats. Ice cubes, girls legs, flowery pianos and many more novel themes made the parade a success. Although much tilin' was spent on the parade, our Annual Staff managed to put on a lovely dance at the Elementary School. The gym was decorated in fall shades of rust, green, and yellow, with leaves, Indians, and corn shocks carrying out the theme, Indian Summer.” Reigning over Homecoming festivities were Queen Anne Mueller and King Merrill Monogue. Putting the finishing touch on the activities were our Eagles who trampled over Wisconsin High. And so another Homecoming came to an end. The lights dimmed on another dance; yet these lights will never fade in the hearts of those who helped to make everything a success. 3fttmor iruui Dancing In A Tropical Garden......... “South Pacific” . . . plans were made . . . committees appointed . . .

There were pretty gowns, corsages, and happy, bright, smiling faces. Amidst the array of tropical splendor, the royalty, Queen Kathy Ott and King, Ken Springob, were crowned. The royalty and court reigned graciously throughout the affair. The couples were sorry to see this evening come to an end, but we are sure that this prom will be remembered by all. iHiii-JBintcr 4f pnrml Our beautiful Mid-Winter Formal opened to the strains of music played by “Bud Wilber’s orchestra. After weeks of hard work the annual stall' transformed the gym into a wonderland following the theme, “Dancing in the Dark.” Streamers of purple, white, and violet Boated from the ceiling. Dancing silhouettes and glittering pink candelabra adorned the walls. The Grand March, led by our beautiful Lady, Lois Westerman and her handsome Lord, Arnie Vogel, followed by the Court, Donna Berkley, Jon Hotter, Fran Jacobs, and Merrill Monogue, came to a climax with the crowning of the Lady by the senior class president, Ron Kostroski.
