TtJkm n.dU'LL THE 1955 MIRROR Editor — Donna Shaw Assistant Editor — Dave Nelson mV I'l'l I I) Business Manager — Pat Werlein Advisor — Mrs. Rosier w Dedication We, the Mirror Staff of 1955, dedicate our Mirror to the early pioneers who settled in this our city of Mondovi. Through their hard work and determined efforts, they founded the city which this year celebrates its first one hundred years of progress. Few people realize the hardships suffered by these early pioneers in establishing a new community. It is our hope that we have gained some of their incentive for advancement and that we might add our share in the growth of Mondovi in its next one hundred years. LYDA CLINE B.S.

SENIORS END HIGH SCHOOL CAREER Excitement ran high as graduation time drew near and the seniors were completing their final days in M.H.S. With mixed emotions we received our diplomas on Wednesday, May 25, 1955. During that last busy year the seniors sponsored the annual Christmas Ball, presented a class play, and went on their senior class trip. There were numerous other activities and events, too, that we participated in. As we walked out the doors of MHS for the last time as students, we thought back on the many memories we had gathered during those four years, and knew it would be a long time before those memories faded.

They were fairly successful in adding to their prom fund. The ones selling the most enjoyed a trip to Minneapolis as a reward for their endeavors. The Juniors were again successful as they captured first prize with both their skit and float entries during homecoming. All in all, the Junior class members found the year full of fun and hard work as they put on a class play and also sponsored the prom in the spring. J. Silverness C. Lehman B. Hart M. Hill M.

Feeney SOPHOMORE INITIATE FROSH At last the day came they had been waiting for. With gleams in their eyes, the Sophomores eagerly sought out the bedecked Freshmen and had them perform for them. A strange sight it was to see students standing on their heads and fellows walking around with aprons and ribbons. That is, it would have been strange for any other day, but this was Freshman initiation. Every year the Sophomore class has the honor of initiating the Freshmen students into the routines and ways of M.H.S. Despite the denials, the Freshmen enjoyed doing the stunts as much as the Sophomores enjoyed watching them. M. Robinson L. Lindsay J. Sather C. Rutchow J. Wi It iams L. Magadance N. Diller D.

Bentley E. Risler M. Ulness FRESHMEN WRITE AUTOBIOGRAPHIES One of the main projects in English I, an autobiography, seemed to stump most of the Freshmen. This meant bringing to light many unheard of incidents such as that first childhood date with the boy next door, and the time that he hid from Mom because he didn’t want to go to the dentist. Then, too, there were all the little happenings in grade school like the time her shoe was hidden by some member in the class. On through their first days in high school, friends, hobbies, and plans for the future, these autobiographies grew. The large Freshman class was well represented on the basketball team the pastyear for most of the “B team squad was composed of Freshmen. They also had a large turn-out for membership in the many other school organizations. CLASS LEADERS EIGHTH GRADE, FIRST ROW: G. Show, J. Bloss, R. Waste, B. Nelson, M. Peterson, M. Hedberg, A.

BADGER HISTORY CLUB ORGANIZED The Mondovi Junior High had a 100% membership in the Badger History Club of Wisconsin. The eighth grade called itself the Chester L. Dodge Chapter while the seventh grade’s chapter was the Buffalo Badger History Club. Monthly meetings were held to discuss interesting topics on Wisconsin. They also took part in purchasing defense saving stamps. Each Wednesday was set aside as Stamp Day. They participated in the. Homecoming celebration by entering both a skit and a float for judging. They won second prize for their float. The Junior High, too, had a football team and a well-organized group of boys met and defeated Eau Claire Junior High by a score of 19-0.

The Buffalo Story The Buffaloes, under the instruction of our new coach, Robert Batchelder, ended the 1954 football season with a record of two wins and five losses in the Mississippi Valley Conference. Mondovi started off the season by dropping its first game to Cadott in a non-conference tilt. Last year’s champions. Black River Falls, won over us in the conference opener. Then again, the Buffaloes suffered defeat at the hands of Durand, an old arch rival, and Galesville, both games being lost by a slim margin. Following these series of losses, we won a narrow victory over Arcadia by a score of 13—12. Homecoming proved to be a very disappointing event as Augusta defeated us during a drenching downpour. We again were denied a victory as Osseo, 1954 conference co-champions, ran up a high score against us. The Buffaloes ended the season on a cheerful note, however, as they trampled over the Whitehall Vikings by a score of 42—0. This game climaxed twelve senior boys’ football careers at Mondovi High. The season proved more successful than the record showed, however, as the boys gained valuable experience and enjoyed playing, win or lose. FIRST ROW: Mr. Anderson, K. Helwig, N. Nelson, R.

The four losses were divided between Black River falls, 1954-55 conference champions, and Durand who tied us for the second place standing. One of our losses to Black River came after an overtime period. Black River, having a 10-0 record in conference play at that time, overcame a four-point lead, held by Mondovi, in less than a minute to tie the game 67—67 at the end of regulation time. The Buffaloes failed to score in the overtime period and lost, 67-73. After a slow start, winning only two of their first seven games, the Buffaloes, under the instruction of Mr. Batchelder, steadily improved and finished the season with an over-all record of eleven wins and nine losses. Osseo grabs the ball The squad faced a number of non-conference teams during the season. After winning over Menomonie in a home game, the Buffaloes dropped its second contest to the Indians at Menomonie in an overtime battle. Going into the second half with a ten point deficit, Menomonie came from behind and posted a 73—71 victory in overtime play. Three members of the A squad surpassed the 200 point mark in scoring, and one exceeded 300 points.

TRACK AND BASEBALL REVIEW The 1954 baseball season was fairly successful even though the record was not too impressive. The Mondovi Nine competed in the district tournament at Augusta, winning over Durand, then losing to the host, Augusta. The return of five lettermen promises a fair season for the 1955 team. Comprising these lettermen are two outfielders, LaMoine Park-hurst and “Buzz Parkhurst, and three infielders, Dave Nelson, Ron Dutter, and Allen Urness. FIRST ROW: A. Urness, V. Jordet, B.

Some of these events are the pole vault, broad jump, discus dashes, and the low and high hurdles. Track prospects for 1955 are fair and a lot will depend upon the underclassmen. The only returning lettermen are: Dick Machmeier, Rod Nelson and Mick Parker. Three lettermen gained places in the Little Olympics. They are N. George who placed third in the pole vault, R. Wulff who placed third in the half-mile run and R. Machmeier who placed fourth in the 200-yard dash. Other boys who received letters in their particular events are A. Parker in the 440-yard run, P.

INTERMEDIATE BAND TUMBLERS This group consisting of seventh and eighth grade students, Freshmen and Sophomores, was very fortunate this past year to be able to take part in the Homecoming Parade. They gave a fine showing for their first time in a marching exhibition. The music played by the group consists mainly of marches and overtures. In all there are approximately thirty-two members under the direction of Mr. LaUasse. Because of the large number of students that turned out for tumbling, they were divided into two groups this year, the beginners and the more advanced. Under the direction of Mr. Miles, these tumblers provided half-time entertainment for the home basketball games and tournaments. Much practice went into planning new and different routines for these exhibitions. FIRST ROW: J. Sather, K. Dowden, J. Paulson, S. Urness, J� Amundson, N. Nyre, D. Goss, M. Paulson, Mr. Miles.
