On the stage was a door which opened into Mother Goose Land. King Glen Abel and Queen Alice Ann Schroeder led the Grand March to the music of Lee Gordon's Orchestra. Homecoming On the afternoon of October 22, 1949 our annual Homecoming celebration began with a parade led by the M.H.S. band. Queen Phyllis Martin and King Earl Wiehl presided at the dance that evening. The gymnasium was decorated with pumpkins, cornstalks and leaves. The music was pro- vided by Cullen Casey's Orchestra.

It was a tough game and Mukwonago came out on the wrong side of a 20-6 score. Our second game, a non-conference game, brought us our first scalp with a 6-0 victory over St. Mary's of Burlington. In our third game we scored another victory with a tally of 24-6. We went on to chalk up another win against the Aggies, 27-12. Our homecoming game was a real heart- breaker since Mukwonago lost to East Troy 12-0. Naturally one good turn deserves another, so, we upset Waterford's home- coming 12-0. Our last game was a 27-0 victory over Walworth, and so we placed third for the season. Earl Wiehl was our Captain this year. Earl Wiehl Back Row D. Barber, F. Luedtke, D. Orgas, G. Pugh, D.

Basketball Captain WILLIAM SMART The Mukwonago quintet began its 1949-50 basketball season by defeating Hartland 36 to 29. The next two games were with Union Grove and East Troy. The final scores were M.H.S. 39, Union Grove 26; M.H.S. 48, East Troy 39. The quintet was then beaten three times in succession by Menomonee Falls 33 to 26; Rochester 48 to 40; and St. Mary's 35 to 31. Waterford, on its own floor, defeated M.H.S. 28 to 21. At Norris Farm we won a lop-sided game by a score of 54 to 31. Walworth was defeated 43 to 38. Menomonee Falls came to M.H.S. and trimmed us 59 to 34. The quintet won the next two games from Union Grove and Wilmot. Final scores were M.H.S. 55, Union Grove 43; M.H.S. 49, Wilmot 41. East Troy avenged an earlier defeat by upsetting the quintet 49 to 42. Finally M.H.S. went to Rochester where we were trimmed 60 to 32. Back flow Mr. Danielson. R. Johnson. R. Behiing. G. Winkslmann.

That is j'ust what the Mukwonago baseball team did in order to win second place in the league. Mukwonago lost the decisive game of the season to Wilmot. At East Troy in the opening game of the district tournament, the M.H.S. Indians defeated Whitewater, but they dropped the second game to East Troy. That brought the 1949 baseball to a close.

Senior Lettermen Sportsmanship and the willingness to work brought success to these senior boys. In recognition of his merits each boy received a letter. The Cheering Squad The cheering squad of this year consisted of Nancy Davis, a freshman; Jeff Beardsley, Junior; Ken Aplin, Senior; and three veteran cheerleaders, Valerie Smith, Sophomore; Carol Stoltz, Junior; and Annette Kaiser, Senior. By com- bining these students with many new yells you can see the results: the peppy cheerleading squad of 1949-50. Eack Row—K. Aplin. J. Beardsley. Front Row—N. Davis. V. Smith, C. Stoltz. A.
