The Student Council, a group consisting of three students from each class under the leadership of Mr. Horn, directed many noon-hour activities. Officers for the year were Marie Wartick, President; Bill Klix, Vice Pres- ident; and Pat Ward, Secretary Treasurer. The homecoming parade with prizes for the best floats and windows, and the dance in the evening was one of the council's projects. The council also arranged the details of the party for the students and faculty before Christmas vacation. After three years of hard mental struggle, twenty of us reached the goal of success, this goal being the National Honor Society. The twenty new members were welcomed into the club by the remaining old members. Bob Schroeder, Joyce Fraser, Jean Moore, Alice Brandemuehl, Don Hinz, and Lois von Dahlen. Members of the society must show ability in leadership, character, scholarship and service to the school and must have a scholastic average of 90 or over. After the new members were inducted, Benny Petersen was elected President; Lucille Evanger, Vice-President; and Doris Gloyd, Secretary. Miss Farrington acted as Treasurer and advisor of the club.

Freshman girls joined the club by passing their initiation trials. The initiates wore the same skirts, socks, and blouses for a week and were not allowed to wash their faces or put up their hair during that time. On Friday night the girls were led around school blindfolded and were then taken down town to do their assigned stunts. Jayne Schuyler was President of the club; Pat Ward, Vice-President; Eunice Sayer, Secretary; and Phyllis Martin, Treasurer. Under the supervision of Miss Moen, the L.T.L. girls assisted with the Homecoming Dance and sponsored a Christmas formal which was called Mistletoe Time. Hi-Y The Mukwonago Chapter of the Hi-Y under the leadership of Mr. Clarence Brown has a membership of 59 boys. This is one of the largest clubs in the county. At a meeting held early in the fall, Benny Petersen was elected prudent; Don Rintelman, vice-president; Francis Coats, secretary-treasurer; and Jim Crittenden, chaplain. Mr. John Telfer, a minister, spoke at one of the meetings about his ex- periences in Berlin, Germany. The trip to Chicago, which was enjoyed by many students, was sponsored by the club. Plans for a bigger club are being made. Back Bow—F. Ruppert. P. Neumann. D. Hollister. J. Beardsley, P. Horn, J. Ludwig. J. Bourdo. W. Leverenz, G. Abel, R. Hill. Fourth Bow—R. Underberg. D.

Smart, E. Winkelmann. H. Porter. Baseball After two weeks of spring practice our boys were ready to combine their talents and meet their foes for the season ahead. With five regulars back from the past season, the future looked bright. Nine of the boys; D. Pett, B. Smart, B. Rolfe. B. Hinz, R. Zamorski, D. Shan- non, J. Money, L. Rolfe, and D. Oberholtzer displayed their skill with a 17 to 3 victory over East Troy in the season opener. After this fast game, our boys were cooled off by Wilmot and Waterford with scores of 2 to 0 and 10 to 0. With two setbacks in a row the team bounced back to take two games from Union Grove and Rochester respectively. The Union Grove game was another sluggers' delight with Mukwonago on top. The score was 12 to 9. Dave Pett showed his pitching brilliance against Rochester with a 7 to 2 win for Mukwonago. The final game of the season was a 7 to 1 defeat for the team by Norris Foundation. Lett to Right—B. Petersen, B. Bailey, R. Muehls, S. Krimmer, R. Zamorski, D. Ulrikson, B. Rolfe, L. Pagel, J. Crittenden. Senior Lettermen Football, basketball, and baseball throughout four years of high school brought out the skill and sportsmanship of nine senior boys. Benny Petersen, Jim Crittenden and Lee Pagel received letters for basket- ball; Sy Krimmer, Buzz Muehls and Lee Pagel for football; Bob Zamorski and Bill Rolfe for baseball; and Bob Bailey and Don Ulrikson for managing the football team.
