Each class enters into competition for the Loyalty Trophy, so through the school year we find good scholarship and citizenship, as well as participation in different activities, our way of striving for the great honor of winning the trophy. Therefore, our purpose in bringing this book to you is to show the many activities bound into this tradition—Loyalty, so that it may serve as a fond memory of our school days. Initiation of future loyalists 3 OUR LOYALTY BOARD—Dick Skinner, Mr. Coates Maxine Schroedcr, Miss Inman, Victor McDermott, Mr. Rit cnthalcr, Lois Prangc.

ANSEL IUTZENTHALER We beJUcate. No graduating student can leave R. II. S. without many fond memories of games, parties, classes, classmates, and teachers. These memories would not be complete without the name of one who did so much to harmoniously w ave the story into its unforgettable pattern. As instrumental director and assistant Loyalty adviser, he has come into contact with many students who greatly admire him, and he has become endeared to the hearts of any who have ever worked under his willing guidance. It seemed as though he never tired of devoting endless hours to gain the most outstanding opportunities possible for our students and our school. We, the class of 19-18, to show our appreciation for his tireless and unlimited efforts, can think of no one more worthy to dedicate our Gleaner to than our truly beloved instructor and friend, “Rick.” MR. NORMINCTON The efficiency and success of our school is the result of the fine leadership and direction of our superintendent, Mr. Normington. For twelve successful years he has been with us. keeping our school functioning properly. We students know Mr. Normington best as a counselor and adviser, helping students with their problems and giving vocational training. We are very grateful to our superintendent and friend who has done so much to make our high school life a pleasant one. —Pbofo Courtesy of the Harper Studio Left to right: T. J. Merkel, O. V.

Through the years, mention has often been made of his many activities, which seem to increase as years go bv. During the past fall, he had much to do outside of school, for he was kept busy working on the new home in which he now resides. The four chemistry classse to teach . . . the make-up cards to issue . . . the photography supervision of our Gleaner . . . the extension courses to look after . . . the detention slips to be made out . . . these are all familiar duties to Mr. Olson. We students say, “Thank you, Mr. Olson, for all the council, suggestions, and help you have given us.” We won’t soon forget those two smiling faces that greet us whenever we happen into the office. Yes. Bernice Nloyes and Mary Jane Kosack are friends indeed when we are in need of advice or information. We continue to marvel at their efficiency, their untiring ability to keep the office running smoothly, and their complete loyalty to their work. MARY I AM KOSACK 1 guess you all know these office girls. They’re the “busy little office helpers” and they surely come in handy—eh, Mr. Olson? They do everything from running errands to bookwork in the office, and we’re sure their work is fully appreciated. JOAN CORWITH, VILAS W1I1TROCK, ROSELLA HARMS, OLIVE CURTIN 7 LOIS LAPER, M.A., B.S.

After they were informed of the battle of classes for the Loyalty Trophy, they really began to work to win those extra loyalty points. With excellent participation in school activities, those points began to climb. Participating in athletics, Bill Berning and Jerry Faga won top honors in football and basketball with Dick Olson and Phil Craker doing their share in both sports. David Smith, Walter Shedleski, Wayne Farber, and Ruben Albers showed great athletic ability in football this season. In music participation. Irene Reynolds, Charles Brvlla, and Kathryne Haugh showed initiative. It was by no means all work! They began as shy little “frosh” with a “Spring Fiesta.” As sophomores, a little more experienced, they came out with a “Super Sirkus” which had everything from a headless man to a true rubber man who refused to stretch. As juniors they opened the year with a “Junior Jamboree” and concluded it with a successful prom. King Lewis Cade and his Queen, Vonnie Dehler, reigned over a “Sleepy Lagoon.” Palm trees, soft music and moonlight put everyone in the right mood for the evening. Mrs. Laper, advisor, shouldered her share of responsibility in producing a successful evening. In their senior year they came out with a typical “Hard Time Party’ with the initiation of the class of ’51. Then too, there was the very successful class play, “Don’t Take My Penny.” To lead them in their last joyous year, they chose George Melcher, president; Phil Craker, vice-president; Rosella Harms, secretary-treasurer; and Maxine Schroeder, Loyalty representative. During their four years at R.H.S., the seniors have put their best efforts forward and have gone all out with plenty of school spirit as well as Loyalty to their school and their country. Now they leave to make themselves a place in this grand nation ofours. 12 VIVIAN ADAMS Rod” Long of stature, short of speech. Rod and Gun 4; F.F.A. I, 2, 3, 4.

One hundred forty-two juniors came hack to school this year with the feeling that they would surpass their fourth place Loyalty rating of the year before. To lead them in their struggle for the trophy they chose Ralph Ileiser, president; dice Curtin, vice-president; Betty Montgomery, secretary-treasurer; and Vic McDermott, Loyalty representative. In league with their advisor. Miss Piquette, these four ably directed the functions of the class. Of course, athletic participants win Loyalty credits, so the juniors went all out with Boh Schroeder, Jim Arenz, Ralph Johansen, Floyd Harris, Evan Schenkat, Don Schroeder, John Roediger, Marlen Farber, Bill Frazier, and Norman Hartje, battling gallantly on field and floor as their classmates cheered them from the players’ bench and the bleachers or balcony. The “forty-niners” journeyed hack through time to the Gay Nineties on Saturday, November 22, and showed us a grand time at the junior party. On February 6 we danced to the music of Gary Grays orchestra in a mystic “Winter Wonderland” as King Ralph Ileiser and Queen Olive Curtin reigned over the Junior Prom in the midst of glistening white snow drifts and majestic pines. These are the highlights of an eventful year for a successful class. Pearl, Dolores, and Evelyn caught enjoying the sun. Phil, Steve, Clara, and Keith looking quaint at the Junior Gay Nineties party. 23 SofdtOJH l L My! You’re quite a teacher, Ardel. The class of 50 began their sophomore year in high spirits, determined to make the best of the next three years. Having showed their competitive spirit the year before by winning third place as freshmen, they let the upper classmen know that they had something to worry about. the class chose George Hanusa, president; Doris Oregon , vice president; Francis Metcher, secretary-treasurer; and Lois Prange, Royalty representative to aid the advisor. Miss Felske. Francis moved to Eau Claire in October, leaving a vacancy in her office. Early in December, the class held another election in which Marita O’Brien was chosen to take her place. Great potential athletic stardom seems to be embodied in the class. Tom Ryczek, Don Curtin, Blair Holden, George Johansen, Herb Gates, and Dale Schroeder, at the present, seem to lead the class in the athletic field. We are advising you to keep an eye on this class and watch their progress through the years. Row 1—W. Michalsen, R. Lange, C. Meyer, Miss Nylin, Mrs. Clausen, A. Noth, M. Muchow, A. Lehman, L.

CONNIE BAUMGARTEN President HERMAN SCHROEDER Vice-President JIM GOODMAN Secretary-Treasurer DICK SKINNER Loyalty Representative 26 One hundred twenty-two bashful “Frosh” entered Leedsb.irg High School on September 2, 1947. They became official members at their initiation at the senior class party, September 12. They were soon told about the Loyalty program and how it works. They then began to take an interest in school affairs; taking part in activities, attending games, etc. Miss Meracle, as class advisor. proved a great help to these timid creatures. v.oon everything was in full swing with the election ol class officers, with Connie Baumgarten. president; Herman Schroeder, vice-president; Jim Goodman, secretary-treasurer, and Dick Skinner, Loyalty representative. I hoy really proved their loyalty and initiative by taking first in homemaking skit and float and both first and second in the hobo parade. The force of their initiative is real evidence that they are an asset to their school and there shall be more competition for the Loyalty trophy from these amateurs.

Oh golly, I just can’t remember that line . . . Oh, you can’t remember the plot? Well, we II try to reconstruct it for you. So, hang on, here we go - - - Sixteen-year-old Penny (Gwen Fricbcl) is walking around with a book on her head and a dreamy l x k in her eyes and practicing elocution with her mouth full of pebbles, preparing herself to play the star roll in the movie version of a popular novel. The author is searching the country for his ideal—he’s coming to town tomorrow— and Penny just KNOWS she’ll be chosen! What Penny doesn’t know is that Sally, (Irene Reynolds) the new maid, is a former child movie star, now grown up, whom a clever publicity agent has planted there to be miraculously discovered by the author (David Smith). So Penny ignores Sally and ignores the talent of her quiet, unselfish older sister. Mavis (Joyce Harder) who has small parts in radio. Penny and Joanna (Vonnie Dchler) have their hands full of preparations . . . for they intend to go to Hollywood. They even ignore their boy friends, Greg (Dick Olson) and Kerry (Jerry Faga). Greg and Kerry confer with Gram (Kathrync Haugh) and decide to out- wit Penny and Joanna by posing as the great author and a brunette model. They do—and the girls fall for it! Then the girls decide they need some new outfits in which to wow Hollywood, so Henri (Charles Brylla) the clothes designer, shows off his latest creations on attractive models (l.ila Schneller, Marion Sclle, and Nora Jane Doyle) for Penny to consider). The clothes arc taken care of by the delivery boy, (Eddie Baumgarten). But the disguised Greg and Kerry poke fun at each lovely outfit and finally kick the indignant Henri out the door. Then just as Penny is prepared to say thumbs down on famous authors—Dad (Phil Cracker) shows up with the real author and his publicity agent, (Harry Dobson). But the plan for Sally’s discovery is interrupted, for Sally has fallen in love with Mark (Bill Bcrning), Penny’s older brother. She realizes that having a chicken farm is lots more fun than Hollywood and all its hardships. Amid all the excitement, the author does choose a star for his play, namely Penny’s sister. Mavis. By this time Penny has given up the idea of becoming an actress, and both she and Joanna are back with their bory-friends. And Gram is giving Mother (Gloria Wineckc) a piece of her mind for not caring for her family better. Now, do you remember it? ... . Oh. by the way, if anybody wants any wall papering or painting done, just call on Wayne Farber or Walter Shcdleski. They got plenty of placticc during class play. v Sitting—G. Wineckc, N. Doyle, L.

In one corner stood a jaunty snowman sagely surveying the entire enchanting scene, while silvery stars peeped shyly from the stage curtains. Students, teachers, and guests danced to the music of Gary Gray’s orchestra. The climax of the evening was the crowning of the prom queen, Olive Curtin and king, Ralph Heiser, immediatley followed by the Grand March. Thanks goes to Miss Piquette, Junior class advisor, and to the students who served on various committees and worked hard to make this prom a success. 38 Ron I—D. Schroedcr, L. Krueger, P. Meyer, V.

Things started rolling during the noon hour, and the first thing to take place was the parade of hobos across our high school stage. Judges chose the following as the best hobos - -Arnold Brylla won first prize of three dollars. Donald Ward won second prize of two dollars, and Evelyn Mente won third prize of one dollar. Miss Inman was awarded first prize among the teachers and as a result won two dollars. Second prize of one dollar was given Mr. Feuerstein who won second place. Class skits immediately followed, and the freshmen emerged as the proud winners of first place, followed by the seniors winning second, the juniors third, and the sophomores, fourth. The regular hobo parade then started writh each homeroom displaying a float. Homeroom 10 was judged as having the best float and received a theater party In recognition. As an exciting climax of the day, our team succeeded in “skunking Baraboo by a score of 19-0. This was the incentive to a gay time at our Homecoming Dance, under th? reign of King George Melcher and Queen Lila Schneller. 52 : R “ ' J- 1 m -. nunigor; W. Berning, D. Smith, W. Shcdleski. J.

We suffered only one defeat when we were up against Mauston in the first game of the season. This game convinced our team of the importance of teamwork. As the game was non-conference it carried no weight in the Southern Ten ratings. The next game was fought at home where the Beavers defeated the Tomah Indians, undefeated in 33 games. This game put spirit and fight into the team. Next they traveled to Monroe to beat them 19-0. The following home game was a hard-fought tie between the Beavers and the Richland Center Hornets. Our Homecoming game with Baraboo was one of the finest of the season; the wonderful passes and the terrific line plunges made us the victors. We then played Wisconsin Dells on their field—another hard-fought tie. Things were looking a lot better after we beat Edgerton, for they were considered our toughest oppo nent. This game brought us nearer the coveted championship. The final game at Portage was a clash of th giants, for Portage had a heavy line and a bunch of high-spirited, shifty fellows in the backfield out-fought them by a score of 12-6, thus ending a glorious season for our team. the But the Beavers L.

After the last game had been played we returned triumphant, having won a co-championship with Monroe. Three cheers for our boys of the purple and white! Enthusiasm ran high among the students and townspeople as the boys rolled on to victory. To start the season we met Sparta in a non-conference game — an easy victory. We suffered our first defeat, a non-conference game at Mauston. The return match played here was won by the Beavers. We defeated Wisconsin High, our first conference game, by the one-sided score of 47-19. On December 5th, we journeyed to Monroe where we on a very decisive game by a score of 34-33. Our next opponent was Richland Center, and in another hard-fought battle we came out on top. The Beavers’ last game before the Christmas holidays was with Portage and was a fine game, netting us another victory. During the Christmas vacaiton, Reedsburg played host to Shawano and West De Pere, defeating both teams. On January 6th the Beavers started their conference campaign with an easy victory over Wisconsin Dells. Three days later we beat Stoughton, another good game. Our next opponent was an old rival, Baraboo. The Circus City five couldn’t do much against the sharpshooting Beavers, and the outcome of the game was evident from the beginning. Journeying next to Edgerton, we won another victory. On January 30, a packed house saw the Beavers defeat Fort Atkinson, a highly rated team. Then we played the Dells and defeated them easily. On February 10, we went to Portage where we suffered our first conference defeat, dropping us into a tie for first place with Monroe. Our last home game was with Richland Center. We had to win and we did. Our last conference game was at Baraboo where we defeated them by the large score of 64-38. The sub-regional tournament was again held here, and our first opponent was Portage whom we handed a defeat, thus entitling us to meet Baraboo, the other winner. We defeated Baraboo for the third time this season. Three days later we met Madison Central who proved too strong for us at Columbus; we came out on the short end of a 42-37 score. The Beavers had no individual stars, but all worked together, forming a hard-hitting, fast-stepping team. We are very proud of them, of their fighting coach, and of the splendid record they made. 56 NORMAN IIARTJE, G DICK OLSON, F RALPH JOHANSEN, C flO J SCHROEDER, C k- � . IV Sin - U-RAH-RAH BARA BOO!
