Front row: Miss Phillips, Lavelda Stafford, Carita Ogle, Mathilda Turner, Joan Culver, Donna Dethardt, Douglas McLean, Eunice Schrank. This year we had fifteen members of the high school out for forensics. The local contest was held in the high school assembly on March 7, 1947. The judge was Mr. Kranzelberger of Waupun High School. In the local contest we had two orators, Willis Galleske and Ruth Case. Among the four humorous declaimers were: Charlotte Cook, Olive McClain, Lavelda Stafford, and Mathilda Turner. Stanley Bird represented us again in extemporaneous speaking. The extemporaneous readers were: Eunice Schrank, Douglas McLean, Donna Dethardt, and Myra Butler. There were four contestants in the serious declamations. They were: Joan Culver, Carita Ogle, Betty Lovejoy and Myra Butler. Of the above participants Willis Galleske, Stanley Bird, Myra Butler, Donna Dethardt and Lavelda Stafford received A ratings, and represented our school at the league contest at Campbellsport on March 12th. Donna Dethardt received an A rating a Campbellsport and went to Kimberly, where she received a B rating. We are losing two members who have always taken part in forensics and who will be hard to replace next year. Willis Galleske and Stanley Bird will graduate this year. Forensics is definitely a very fine and worth-while activity and we are in hopes that next year a larger representation will be participating from the Freshman and Sophomore classes.

2?aper Staff Back row, left to right: Mary Achterberg, Joseph Luttenberger, Richard Jerabek, Robert Collien, Gerald Geisthardt. Center row: Charlotte Cook, Betty Lovejoy, Olive McClain, Ruth Case, Myra Butler, Joyce Culver, Willis Galleske, Shirley Kaul. Front row: Miss Phillips, Lavelda Stafford, Joan Culver, Donna Dethardt, Stanley Bird, Carita Ogle, Deloris Galleske, Douglas McLean. Af the start of the school year the student body elected Stanley Bird as editor of the school paper and Carita Ogle as assistant editor. In previous years it was customary to elect only an assisting editor at the start of the school year, but circumstances necessitated a deviation from the normal procedure. Inasmuch as the staff was comprised of a large number of new members, it took some time for the staff to become acclimated to its work, but after the first publication, the work became easier and more effectively performed. The following personnel comprised the paper staff during the year: Editor ........................................................Stanley Bird Assistant Editor ..............................................Carita Ogle Reporters......Dick Jerabek, Joyce Culver, Joan Culver, Deloris Galleske Art Editors ..............................Olive McClain, Douglas McLean Society Editor .............................................Lavelda Stafford Humorous Editors .........................Willis Galleske, Joe Luttenberger Sport Editors ............................Gerald Geisthardt, Robert Collien Typists .......................................................Betty Lovejoy Ruth Case, Joyce Culver, Donna Dethardt, Eunice Schrank Circulation Managers .....................Willis Galleske, Lavelda Stafford Advisor .......................................................Miss Phillips Page 17

Student Council Back row (left to right):: Joseph Luttenberger, Roger Ogle, Robert Collien, Gerald Geisthardt, Richard Jerabek, Robert Wellnitz. Front row: Herbert Emerson, Betty Lovejoy, Mathilda Turner, Donald Fisher, David Parduhn, Mr. Vandehey. President, Donald Fisher Secretary-Treasurer, Betty Lovejoy Our Student Council is comprised of four seniors, three juniors, two sophomores, and two freshmen. The council was formed primarily to help establish some of the regulations of the school that were particularly pertinent to students' activities in the school. School policies relative to school parties, disciplinary problems, noon lunches at school, etc., were among some of the problems this group acted upon. A suggestion box was placed in the assembly. Any student having any suggestion for improving any activity or policy of the school would make a written statement to such effect and put it in the box. A few good suggestions were received and acted upon. It seems to have worked out quite well. This year we did not send any representatives to any Student Council meeting, but we hope that it will be possible to do so next year. Page 19
