STUDENT COUNCIL The jobs of the student council are many and varied. Although the activities of the council are accomplished behind the scenes, its work deserves great praise and attention. The council supervised the annual Christmas stocking fund, the Traffic Board Commission, the homecoming events and the awarding of citizenship medals to the most outstanding senior boy and girl. The council consists of two representatives of each cless, the sponsors of each class, the president, and Mr. Holyoke. They meet every other Thursday, at which time, general problems of running the school are brought up and discussed. The officers this year were James Forbes, President; Dan Teehan, Vice President; Jane Anderson, Secretary; and Jacqueline Treloar, Treasurer. Deserved recognition and praise were well-earned by the student council of 1949-50 for the work they accomplished throughout the year. HOMECOMIN Q MARGARET ANGLIKER . . .

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Just as an airplane must have a smooth runway to insure a safe takeoff, so a people must have a runway of knowledge to attain the heights for which they strive. The class of 1950 always seemed to be eager for this education, for many times throughout its four years in high school, it has led the honor roll. Twenty-one students received scholarships in 1948 and thirty-one in 1949. Special mention should go to Margaret Angliker Lois Burgy, Mildred Cotherman, Mildred Krauss and Barbara Kundert because they have maintained a straight A average through high school. After bailing out of Jr. High, we landed safely at what was to be our of operations for the next three years. Francis Thorpe, Gwendolyn Shaffer Marilyn Lanz, and Karl Schillinger received the rank of president veep, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. Student Council representa-t'ves were James Forbes and Alan Prisk. In the briefing room at the Angle, our Youth Council members were Karen Bender, James Forbes Carol Schindler and William Schmitz. Ted Falk president, ably assisted by Mildred Krauss, Joann Meyer, and Ruth Johnson, were elected to see us through our Junior Year—with its Operation Prom! Because business comes before pleasure, we began in the fall to raise the necessary funds for the highlight of the year. This was accomplished by magazine sales and profits from the hot dog stand. Voicing opinions in the Student Council were James Forbes and Gwendolyn Shaffer, while at the Youth Center we were represented by Sybil Blumer, James Forbes, Carol Schindler, and Lewis Shelton. Outstanding in Forensics, our class was represented in three fields: extemporaneous reading, oratory, and serious declamations. Lois Burgy, Mildred Cotherman, and Donna Wenger went to the State contest.with their respective selections. The latter received an A rating on her declam Joan of Lorraine. In track and field, Richard Maurer and Donald Ethridge excelled. Dick broke the shot put record and Don the broad jump. Robert Rieder led the Southern Ten conference in free throw scoring during the basketball season. The year progressed and soon-the long awaited moment arrived. It was May and Prom Time. King Virgil Pick chose Marian Niffenegger to reign with him at the beautiful southern plantation. The orchestra played from the deck of a docked showboat while couples danced on the veranda and lawn in front of the huge white pillared mansion. That summer, Mildred Cotherman and Tom Goetz went to Badger State to study our state and national government In the fall, 1 17 seniors found themselves again in the cockpit—this time Operation Graduation. Piloted by Bob Wells and co-pilots Marilyn Lanz, Judy Madden and Sybil Blumer, we set our sights for the first stop, that of Homecoming. Reigning over the victorious game and dance were Gwendolyn Shaffer and attendants Marilyn Lanz and Barbara Schultz. Co-chairmen of Homecoming events were Sybil Blumer and Francis Thorpe. As in her junior year, Donna Wenger was cheerleader, with Donald Timm the other senior squad member. James Forbes was elected president of the Student Council, and Eugene Masshardt and Jacqueline Treloar were chosen as Council representatives. Carol Schindler was again president of the Angle. Our other Angle council members were Sybil Blumer, James Forbes and Francfs Thorpe. The Bulletin was successfully published under the co-editorship of Sybil Blumer and Carol Schindler. Mrs. Gruenewald was the advisor. Our plane needed no radar to see what was in store. Time was flying by and carried with it responsibilities for the M-Book, our class play The Male Animal by James Thurber and Elliot Nugent, and of course, the end of the flight— Operation Graduation. Mildred Cotherman was chosen to edit the Annual under the guidance of Miss Roehl ,along with help from the various department editors and their staffs. R. W. Witt directed the class play The Male Animal, with the cast including: Cathy Hartman, Carol Schindler, Francis Thorpe, Thomas Goetz, Lois Burgy, David Ruehlman, Mildred Cotherman, Gordon Orians, Mildred Krauss, William Schmitz, Joel Solomon, James Hardell and Hollean Schilt. Nathan Marti was chosen as business manager. The class voted for the red rose as its flower, with crimson and silver as class colors. The class motto: Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising everytime we fall. With this in mind, the class of 1950 prepared to emerge into a new and unfamiliar world. The unfailing help and interest of three outstanding teachers, Mr. Anderson, Mr. Colder and Miss Jones has sustained us throughout our years in M.H.S. 24 CLASS WILL We, the class of '50, being of sound minds and firm characters, do hereby bequeath the following: MARIANNE DITTMER wills her interests in Company K to any under classman who has the same interests.

Learning to Do Doing to Learn Earning to Live Living to Serve. The above motto, describes accurately the goal for which the 67 members of the Future Farmers of America are striving this year. Boys and girls participating in the work of the Ag. Department study farm mechanics, farm crops and soils, animal husbandry, farm management and marketing. During the four years in the Monroe Agriculture Department, the members are trained in the testing lab, on the farm, and in the classroom. Their individual farm programs consisting of productive projects for the purpose of gaining experience and money, and improvement projects which will increase farm value, are closely related to their class activities. The F.F.A. Chapter and the Agriculture Department are striving together for more progressive Future Farmers of America. ■1 FIRST ROW: K. Norder, J. Davis. SECOND ROW: P. Wenger. J. Mueller, L.

SENIOR GIRLS COOKING As we go through the halls on Tuesday at 3 o'clock, we smell the tantalizing odors of homecooking that float through the air. This reminds us that the 22 senior girls in the homecooking class, under direction of Miss Mildred Sackett, are meeting. Demonstrative cooking is emphasized, although the girls are taught how to concoct any dish they would like to make. D. McGrath, C. Spring, L. Herbert, C. Indergand, K. Faherty, N. Prien.

MONROE PLAYERS 45 1949 PROM 1950 A gay, colorful Southern Plantation gave a beautiful setting for the Junior-Senior prom of 1949-1950. The happy prom couples danced under lights made cheerful by Japanese lanterns. The Spanish moss growing on the trees, the river boat, and plantation moon supplied atmosphere to the setting. King Virgil Pick crowned Queen Marion Niffenegger on the veranda which served as a finishing touch. The seniors will always remember that night of nights-------their first prom. 46 FRONT ROW: D.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY The Senior Class Play of 1950 The Male Animal by James Thurber and Elliott Nugent was presented on the evenings of March 29 and 30. The play, a modern comedy, had as its elements of conflict the academic versus the athletic side of college, and also freedom of expression versus dictation of policy by the administration. Ellen Turner (Carol Schindler) is the wife of Tommy Turner, o college instructor (Francis Thorpe) and the ex-fiancee of Joe Fergusen, former football hero of the college (Tom Goetz). Ellen's younger sister (Lois Burgy) also finds herself between an athletic man, Wally Meyers (Joel Solomon) and an intellectual one, Michael Barnes (David Ruehlman).

For the third consecutive year they received more first places at the State Music Festival at Madison than any other high school in Wisconsin. The large and varied audiences which have come to its concerts have proved that the band has reached its goal, of speaking a universal language through its music. The officers of the band this year were Margaret Angliker, President; Sybil Blumer, Vice President; Barbara Kundert, Secretary; Marilyn Lanz, Treasurer; Mildred Krauss, Student Conductor; Odelle Monte, Manager; and Kenneth Stair, Assistant Manager.

PINAFORE The Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, H.M.S. Pinafore, was presented this year by the Monroe High School Chorus. This two act satire which took place on a British ship was the first operetta to be presented here for eleven years. The cast and chorus rehearsed the gay and fast moving music and dialogue for over a month. As the date for the performance drew near, special rehearsals were held several nights during the week. A preview performance was held on January 27 for the grade school and Junior High School students. On the evening of January 30, a successful performance was given before a large, appreciative audience. The profits were used to purchase new chorus robes. FRONT ROW: R. Blanc, D. Ethridge, V.

BASKETBALL A capable but inexperienced Monroe cage squad, coached by Lee Mitchell ended the '49-50 season with a record of 8 wins and 16 losses. This record gave them undisputed ninth place in the Southern Ten. The Monroe cagers had to play Middleton to get into their own Sub-Regional Tournament. Team play provided them victories over Fort Atkinson and Edgerton in that tournament. They lost the Regional Championship to a powerful Madison West team. Bob Rieder placed fifth in the Southern ten scoring with a total of 168 points. Don Oncken of Stoughton led the Southern ten scoring with 231 points. The team placed ninth in scoring and first in the free throw department. Stoughton ..............12 Wisconsin Dells . . Edgerton ............... 9 Baraboo .......... Fort Atkinson ....

The team, coached by Mr. Simpson and Mr. Gregotich, opened the season with a pair of dual meets, winning one and dropping the other. They held their place in larger meets also, placing third among ten at the Southern Ten Conference. At this meet, Dick Maurer broke the league record in the shot put. Monroe tied for second at the sectional with three boys qualifying for the state meet at Madison. They made a fine showing there with Marlin Cook placing third in the half-mile and Dick Maurer and Fred Buob placing sixth in the shot put and high hurdles respectively. Several Monroe High School records were broken by track team members: Dick Maurer, shot put; Bob Wells, discus; and Don Ethridge in the broad jump and 100 yard dash. The 880 yard relay team also established a new mark. Graduating lettermen were Marlin Cook, Boyd Trickel, Jim Share, Jim Wells, Fred Huber and Henry Speich. We're glad to have letter winners Don Ethridge, Dick Maurer, Fred Buob, Bob Wells, Joel Solomon, Tom Goetz, Doral Ethridge, and Pat Kubly returning for the '50 season. 1949 TRACK RESULTS Meet No. of Monroe's Schools Placing Madison West Relays 22 9 Platteville Dual 2 Stoughton Dual 1 Fort Atkinson Invitational 9 3 Southern Ten Conference 10 3 Fort Atkinson Relays 7 2 Sectional Meet 2 State Meet 19 61 H.

Dick upset Ernie in the conference tournament at Madison. With Dick taking first place and Ernie second, plus plenty of help from Alvin Feldt, Don Timmons, and Bud Pilz, the team repeated as champs.
