It has meant the making of A true friends among my fellow students: happy and hectic moments at football, basketball and baseball games: participa- tion in extra-curricular activities: and never-to-be-forgotten jake-box dances. But most of all, as I look back upon this school gear, I realize that may school has given me its best- and I hope that I have given it something in return. -0 ,,2-- ' 194522222222 LAMBDA MU STAFF B.

However, this eagerness soon w,ore off when they realized the trials of school. It wascthis year, as now in our senior year, that milk was served to us each morning with the slight difference that then we were allowed to lie down and rest after drinking it. Since most of us were quite intelligent. we passed with little difficulty into the work of first grade. Joining us that year was Bob Hornickel. Still linding school easy, we advanced upstairs to the second grade. During our sojourn here, the most exciting moments were provided by Mary Wollin's and Jenny Topel's bouts in the feminine art of hair- pulling. i From second grade, we traversed happily to third grade: the girls. however, were the happiest since that year Eddy Rehm enrolled and immediately became the Romeo of the grade. Taking over the Juliet role. Mary Ann Kelch promptly shocked and surprised us by kissing Joe Bump. li Making the change from third to fourth grade, we realized our grown-up status since we were allowed to go to Professor Gordon's Music Festival to sing on the radio. Highlighting that year were Dorothy Wolff's and Kay Lindberg's Snow White and Seven Dwarfs shoes and Roger Sch1ender's transition to Indian. be- cause of his insistence that he was of American blood. Upon entering the fifth grade. we were initiated into the game of monkey. Again we journey to the Music Festival at Madison, but our joy was somewhat dampened because of the fact that the broadcast emanated from the stock pavilion, Our being sixth-graders called for a little more work. Bob Hornickel, Mary Wollin, and Johnny Wainbrough especially discovered this to be true, upon sanding the door because of their carving into it. Enter- ing school this year was Pat Erlanclson, long braids and all. , Joining us in seventh grade, Leo Halverson promptly took over the title of Sheik of the Class from Eddy Rehm and rumor has it that he has never rescinded it. Becoming more grown-up, the girls, very self conscious, experimented with lipstick for the first time, 6-.Jun-vi-n-Ivor' I J L1Lq4L ' i ' CHARLES PRUST Betler to love amiss than nothing to have loved.

Our parents, much to our chagrin, were given an example of our daily school life when they attended a Night School. However. we disappointed them slightly because of our failure to answer correctly in physiology class. That year we chose as our president Mary Wollin. Entering our freshman year, we were joined by many rural pupils. Meeting the initiation with a what- can-we-do-about-it air, we were surprised to find that it wasn't as bad as anticipated. Nevertheless, we re- solved to get revenge the next year, Eddy Rehm, presi- dent: Margo Schultz, vice-president: Kay Lindberg, Secretary: and Connie Engsberg, treasurer, were our class officers. As sophomores we sponsored a very novel sil- houette dance which greatly enlarged our treasury and our self-esteem. At the time of the junior prom, Eddy Rehm tried riding in the dumb waiter, only to step out into the waiting arms of Mr. Fuszard. Officers were Duane Veldhuizen, president: Russell Bergholz. vice-president: Mary Ann Kelch, secretary: and Leo Halverson, treasurer. CLASS 0FFICERS.uux'Mu,hJu.d Q is aauaewpwwwgaw In our junior year, the girls took to politics andm A elected Louise Peters, president: Kay Lindberg, vice- president: Mary Wollin, secretary: and Mary Ann I . M' Kelch, treasurer. The outstanding event that year was our presentation of His Name Was Aunt Nellie. Roger Schlender, who surprised us with his shapely gams, kept us roaring hilariously over his enactment of the title role. Around spring, we juniors frantically pored over joke books. and the result was a very suc- cessful Junior-Senior Banquet. Beginning our senior year somewhat soberly since it was our last year, we elected Charles Prust, presi- dent: Connie Engsberg, vice-president: Mary Hein, secretary: and Robert Hornickel, treasurer. Joining us for the final lap of our twelve-year journey were Janet Pinke and Emrnaline Ruegg. Once again we ventured into dramatics, this time sponsoring Peggy Was Great. The last week of school brought forth those two long-awaited, yet sad, events-baccalaureate and graduation.

The officers we elected were: Billy Vi- tense. presidenl: Charles Fischer, vice-president: Elaine Kern, secretary, and John Crump. treasurer. The Junior Prom was our hrst chance to 'show the school what an exceptional class we have. We picked a very original and novel title for this big event: it was called A Night With Neptune. Benny Ehr's orchestra provided exceptionally fine music for the occasion. The class play is always a big problem. In spite of a very large cast. our play, Love Your Neighbor. proved to be quite a hit. Miss Waegli did a wonderful job of directing a difficult play. Q Some of the best athletes in all the high school's sports this year came from the Junior class. Our class participated in football, basketball, baseball, golf, and volleyball. Several boysifrom our classialso went to Madison to enter in the casting tournament at the Sports Show. We only hope that we may do as well next year as We have done this year. ll l7 fpxid' fjfsfi f , , my .I I i 0 Lffqrli' gl 11 , fy, Q if . L li . fi A LY ,li , -. H 'fi' 1 , J,'Ej,..

We immediate- ly became acquainted with several new activities. Among the various school activities we took part in were the school band. first school dance. the stamp sales, assembly programs and magazine sales in which several members of our class won prizes. The Junior High Basketball team which won two tournaments included members of our class. Dur- ing the tournaments, some of the girls acquired ex- perience as cheerleaders. We have held several class meettings throughout the year with our officers, who are: Phillip Crump, president: Joan Sanft, treasurer: Joan Kurtz. vice- president. John Neupert. secretary. Our Advisor was Mrs. Stein. We are hopeful that our next four years will be as pleasant as this year. M ' 1WL522'fffw f'Q'5',,, Wfiff,,i,f MV' VW A ATHLETICS ' ' ww W Jffgffdwyf Jw'-i , 1 1.

Y ' . 1 1 23 LAKE MILLS 20 EDGERTON 6 In the opening game of the season, the Lake dis- played offensive and defensive strength in defeating Ed- gerton 20-6. Although they were trailing 6-O at halftime, Lake Mills roared back to score three touchdowns in the second half to clinch the-victory. LAKE MILLS 19 ELKHORN 7 Despite a water-logged field and a stubborn Elkhorn defense, the Blue and Gold showed remarkable offensive form in winning its second straight game. This game was practically a carbon copy of the Edgerton game a Week before except for the fact that Lake never trailed Elkhorn as it did Edgerton. LAKE MILLS 27 JANESVILLE 6 Avenging their defeat of a year ago at the hands of the Janesville Bluejays, Lake Mills took the measure of the Bluejays 27-6. The Gold linesman ripped large holes in the Janesville line and held the Jays in their own territory the greater share of the game. Running behind the hard charging Gold line, the Lake backield sparked by Petruska and Zade, was practically unstoppable. LAKE MILLS 41 ST. JOHNS 14 The St. John's lightweights provided little opposi- tion in the path of the Lake Mills onslaught. In scoring their fourth straight win of the season the Lake com- pletely overwhelmed St. Johns 41-14. the highest score rolled up by a Lake team since 1940. Soper. who scored three touchdowns, and Petruska, who scored one himself and passed for three more, were outstanding for Lake Mills.

WW ...sa BASKETBALL '45-'46 The undefeated Lake Mills football machine hav- ing previously been discussed. we now take honor in presenting to you an equally great team, Coach Downs 1945-19-+6 basketball team, which again walked away with the Rock Valley title. Their record of 13 wins and 5 losses during the regular season is one that they are justly proud of. After the regular season they en- tered the Columbus regional and after defeating Bara- boo in the opening game, they bowed to Madison Central the second night of play. During the league play they were defeated but once and that was to a decidedly weaker Milton team by a one point margin. The other games they won with apparent ease as they completed a Hne record of 7 wins and 1 loss. Again this year. Coach Downs preached to his team that teamwork was the essential law that a great team needed. This law was so well obeyed by NVi1lard XVendt, Conrad Engsberg. Duane Veldhuizen. Robert Petruska. and Richard Soper that these live great stars were the most dreaded players in the Rock Valley as they rolled over their league opponents with extremely great ease. This 1945-1946 team's offensive and defensive records are practically the same as the 1944-1945 team as they compiled 324 points to their opponents 205 as compared with last year's team acquiring -ll 1 points to their opponents 251. This year Lake won its first regional game but lost its second game. They were a team that never knew when to quit and installed with a lot of zip and fire, they proudly upheld the motto Luke Eghlsn as they gave Lake Mills their third straight basketball championship. To give you further information on the five L-Cats. let us look at the scoring of the boys. Bob Peanuts Petruska, the Rock Valley leading scorer and only a junior. led the team in scoring with 83 points. 1-le was followed by Connie Engsberg, senior forward who had 55 points to his credit. The next in line was Willie Wendt, the L-Cats little junior for- ward, who garnered 49 points. The last two, but cer- tainly not the least were Dick Soper. junior guard. and Duane Veldhuizen, big senior center, who had 46 and -+2 points respectively. Of the live regulars. two seniors. Connie Engs- berg and Duane Veldhuizen. will be missed greatly by next year's team. Petruska, Wendt, and Soper as juniors from whom much is expected, will try to give Lake its fourth straight championship when next year's bas- ketball season rolls around. This year's team had a lot of natural ability, but let us not forget our Coach, Ted Downs. whose line personality and patience really brought ottt the great qualities of his boys. I-le installed such a red hot spirit in them. that they'were keyed up at all times, and along with their well-liked coach. they presented to Lake Mills and the school a team that rates tops and one that certainly cannot be forgotten. e. ee lllllliflle -LLL,...l94B BASEBALL First Row: W.

This year, Lake Mills played in the newly organized Lakeland league, to which Ft. Atkinson. Jefferson, Milton. and Edgerton also belong. The thing that the boys no doubt will be looking forward to, is winning the trophy and giving Lake Mills the honor of having three championships in one year.

Going to a State Tournament at the end of the year will show how the Lake golf team can play under real pressure. At the time this article was written the team hoped to take no lower than fourth place in that tourna- ment. The wholc team tried their hardest. -L. ..-. J Crump Coach Graf C Engsbcrg, L. Halverson.

The matches, for which many girls turned out, were played under permitting weather conditions. Three bowling teams were formed of G. A. A. members, and one team of teachers. These teams met on alternate Thursdays at the bowling alleys for many enjoyable hours. Sally's Strikers. Siegel's Eagles, and Speedsters were the names given to the high school teams. The teachers' team went by the name of The Holy Rollers. VL firsl Row: M. Selle. M. Gottschalk. V. Woelffer, C. Bartel. D. Harrington. Miss Forster. B. Strauss. B. Berg, D. Siegel S. Davis, B. Moore.

The three-act comedy, directed by Miss XVacgli, was filled with laughs from the beginning to the end and was rated highly success- ful by the audience. The first two acts of the play were set in the hill- billy home of falokah Lindsay, Robert Hornickel. and his sharp tongued wife, Maria, Winifred Brockhaus. Their good-for-nothing daughter. Catalpa, Kay Lind- berg. and adopted child, Deedee, Pat Jacobs, are always scrapping. The hired hand. Oby, Joe Davis, and a neighbor's maid. Sophy, Mary Ann Kelch. engage in a very humorous love affair. XVhen the car of the wealthy Mr. and Mrs. Gordon, Edwin Rehm and Mary Wollin: breaks down in the neighborhood of the Lindsay home, they spend a day with the Lindsays. They fall in love with Deedee and induce the Lindsays to let them take her to their city home and educate her. They call her Peggy in honor of a daughter they lost years ago. ' The third act is several years later in the Gordon's city home. Many humorous incidents occur when the Lindsays arrive to attend the graduation of Peggy who has been very successful in school. The climax occurs when two lawyers, Arthur Penin and Henry McKay, Roger Schlender and Leo Halverson: announce that Peggy is actually the long lost daughter of the Gorclons.
