Now more than ever before, in the present crisis we should appreciate and guard these free- doms.

DEDICATION Realizing now, more than ever before, the fact that education may mean the difference between success and failure to the students, the members of the board of education are constantly working to improve the quality of our school system. They de- vote a great deal of time establishing the policies of the school, planning the courses to be taught, and directing the general management; these are but a few of their many jobs. To the members of the Board of Education, the class of 1951, being fully conscious of the debt of gratitude it owes them, dedicates this Gleaner with deep appreciation and a very sincere thank you. Conferring together are Mr. Normington and Mr. Olson. Are they planning an assembly program or discussing a student problem? Mr. Normington's work extends over many tasks as superintendent of our school system. Advising students; making out reports; visiting classes; helping teachers, parents, and stu- dents with their problems; meeting salesmen; and attending school board meetings keep him busy through the day. As freshmen, we met him during announcements in the assem- bly. Later we came to know him as a friend who gave counsel and vocational guidance to the students. In any Democracy there is a need for re- sponsible leaders. As our principal and friend, Mr. Olson is busy from day to day keeping track of high school students, checking up on make-up cards, and doing various other tasks about our school. Besides all this, Mr. Olson teaches chemistry _ and has charge of the ex- tension courses given. As principal, he con- siders it his responsibility to see that things in general function smoothly for both the stu- dents and the faculty. Patient, understanding, and friendly, Mr. Olson is always ready to lend a helping hand. Dear Seniors; Go ahead with your plans! It is true that these are days when it is not al- ways easy to keep your chin up and your upper lip stiff, but the test of an individual's character is in his ability to accept adversities and discourage- ment. So proceed with your plans; don't let your worries get you down; have faith in God and in yourselves; and do your part to make tomorrow better. Sincerely 4 Administra tion These are the office girls, Mary Jane Kosack and Bernice Moyes. Bernice is always busy acting as general receptionist, bookkeeper, and Mr. Norming- ton's secretary. Besides these duties, she does extra errands in the office for both the students and the teachers. Students admire Bernice for her cheer- fulness and her friendship toward them when they need her help. Mary is remembered for the passports and make-up cards she handed out to us with a smile. R.H.S. students marvel at Mary's stability and her loyalty to her work. However, it remains a mystery to us to understand her patience and friendliness to all the students. The part Mary and Bernice took in our school life will always be treasured. :LARENCE BITTNER. B.S. Oshkosh State Teachers College Physic� , Algebra. Geometry. Football ELEANOR BOWDEN. B.E.

After be- ing made very aware of the fact that the years ahead would be difficult but happy years, they accepted the challenge willingly and began the long trek forward. It was a pleasant experience to discover the many opportunities offered to students of our high school. During their first day in school, everyone was interested in seeing the freshmen and the new members of the faculty passing through the halls as unnoticed as they could, considering the handicap of two different kinds of shoes and their hair parted in the mid- dle. Who was responsible for this? Why the bold, mighty, courageous seniors. of course. In spite of the rather unusual initiation, they adapted themselves very rapidly and well to their classes. They were well represented on the football field with many of them showing prom- ise of being future stars. The freshman class also contributed several able members to the chorus, band, and other extra-curricular activities. FRESHMEN CLASS OFFICERS Row 1 Rita Horkan. Loyalty representative.

Sophomores By this time the class of 1953 has discovered the extra o in soph-o-more. The responsibility of remembering this was only one of the many new ones they met as they stepped out of their freshman daze into this phase of their high school progress. These sophomores found through last year's experience that participating in extra-curri- cular activities is really fun. Two of the boys won football letters, a real honor for sophomores. Con- tributing several able members to the B-team, the class was also ably represented on the bas- ketball court. Athletics were only part of the many things these eager beavers took part in. Band, orchestra, chorus, and choir along with the other extra-curricular activities attracted their attention. The sophomores added two Loyalty points to their laurels by winning the skit division of Homecoming with a very clever scene in an operating room. The patient, a warrior from Wis- consin Dells, met an untimely end in spite of— or rather due to — the expert medical attention of Dr. Whackencut and Nurse Plasma. Together with their general good record this put them squarely in the Loyalty race. SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Row 1 Joyce Retzlaff. Loyally representative.

Oh, what a trial it is to be a junior! What are the provisions of the Missouri Compromise? Is Mr. Feuerstein giving another history test? I didn't have time to study because we just had to get those prom decorations done. These prob- lems which seemed so important then were tackled with enthusiasm by the junior class. Their goal was to prove to their R.H.S. class- mates that they were not to be overlooked, espe- cially in the race for the Loyalty trophy. The juniors started a new system for electing class officers by choosing a nominating committee composed of students from each home room. This committee in turn selected the candidates for the offices. Each junior voted for his choice on the ballot in the manner of a national elec- tion. While cheering for the basketball team, we noticed that it was composed mainly of juniors. The passing, tackling, and running of nine jun- ior football lettermen proved the motto of the class, that though the chips were down, their spirits ran high.

On April 6 amid the spring setting of April Showers, King Jerry Hutch- ens and Queen Alma Schaefer marched to the umbrella which served as a throne for this year's Junior Prom. The gayly decorated gym gave the im- pression of spring with its pastel flowers, ruffled umbrellas, a pool, and murals on the walls. The couples passed under a flower-covered trellis and onto the floor. The dancers were covered by a crepe-paper ceiling as they danced to the strains of Jerry Billington's orchestra. Jerry Hutchens and Mary Warren were general chairmen, and Miss Finnegan was the prom adviser. 22 Row 1: Martin Alwin. vice president; Jack Lucht, Loyalty representative; Duane Kraemer.

Senior Class History As timid freshmen we were initiated into the activities of R.H.S. by the class of 1948 at their hardtime party. Our talents were not long hid- den under the timid exteriors. At homecoming, the first big event of the year, we carried off top honors for our homecoming skit, and a float from one of our homerooms won the the- ater party while Arnold Brylla and Jack Lucht carried off first and second places in the hobo parade. The officers were Connie Baumgar- ten, president; Herman Schroeder, vice-presi- dent; Jim Goodman, secretary-treasurer; and Dick Skinner, Loyalty representative. Our class was unique as it was the first class in many years to have a freshman class party. As our theme, we chose April Showers and featured as intermission entertainment, a spring fashion show with masculine models. Returning as assured sophomores we sudden- ly became aware of the meekness of the fresh- men and wondered if we had been the same. Our leaders for this year were Lyle Holtz, pres- ident; Duane Kraemer, vice-president; Helen Gade, secretary-treasurer; and Jack Lucht, Loyalty representative. Amid icy fingers and crawling spiders, Black Magic cast its spell upon the dancers at our sophomore party. Attending the state basketball tournament in 24 which our team played also made our sopho- more year a very memorable one. As con- fident juniors we elected Annabelle Phillips, Loyalty representative; John Prange, secre- tary-treasurer; Jerry Gant, vice-president; and Orlin Hasse, president; this also made him prom king. To reign as queen over our Dreamers Holiday prom. King Orlin chose Connie Baumgarten. Vince Warren's orchestra of Dubuque played for this superb affair. We held another very successful class party, the Harvest Moon Hop. Two other outstanding people that year were John Prange and De- lores Hasse who were selected to attend the 1950 Badger Boys and Girls State. Strutting in as bold, courageous seniors, we soon had the situation well in hand and immediately com- menced to plan a week of initiation for the frosh which was climaxed by the Greenhorn Ball. For our final year we elected John Prange, president; Martin Alwin, vice-presi- dent; Carrie Greenwood, secretary-treasurer; and for the Loyalty Council, Connie Baumgar- ten, Jack Lucht, and Duane Kraemer. Virginia Lathrope was chosen by the seniors and the faculty to receive the DAR award. We hope that these four years of high school training will enable us to assume the roles of active citizens and continue the American Way of Life. 25 MARTIN A.

After the snappy pep meeting, speeches were given by former football players, Max Ninman, Bill Bern- ing, Herb Gates, and Bob Bill. The sophomores received Loyalty points for the top skit, and home- room No. 13 won first prize in the floats. After the thrilling game with the Dells, which we won 13-7, Homecoming King Jim Lutz and Queen Bessie Howard were crowned at the dance.

Coach Paul Krueger's 1950 football team represented R.H.S. in the usual aggressive manner. This year's Beavers upheld the tra- dition of a long line of outstanding pigskin pushers and managed to play some interest- ing football. Because of the fighting spirit and ability of these boys, R.H.S. alumni were not disappointed at their homecoming. The super- bly played game in the evening was a fitting climax to the very successful festivities of the afternoon. The Dells Chiefs were outplayed every step of the way in the exciting game which ended with a score 13-7. An even great- er triumph was the 12-0 win over Baraboo when the Beavers upset the undefeated Bara- boo team at their own homecoming. At this time our boys displayed that extra special de- termination which is always shown at a Bara- boo-Reedsburg game. This year, a Southern Ten all-conference team was selected. R.H.S. placed one player, Martin Alwin, as second string tackle. At the end of the season, Jim Lutz was elected to receive the honorary cap- tain star.

During bas- ketball as well as football games, the band pepped up the spectators and added to the spirit of the game.

The chorus took an active part in the Christ- mas program and the Spring Concert this year. String Ensemble Scriiiitch — screeeeetch — scriiiitch!! The strings must be warming up again. This year the orchestra was reduced to a string group, but the organization should be back to its orig- inal size in a few years. Although Mr. Velte was sometimes slightly horrified at the sounds produced, the orchestra improved enough to play for Baccalaureate. 50 Row 1 A. Halvenslebon. J. Groeneweg. L. Thies. J. Retzlaff. D.

Choir Did you hit that high 'A'? Who is flat back in the last row? Sweet music — laugh- ter — shouts of glee. Hearing these sounds as we pass through the upper halls, we know that the choir members are getting ready to go through their favorite song, Tradi Nuka. This organization, under Mr. Velte, gave many pro- grams throughout the year which were a great enjoyment to the student body and all others who heard them. Among these programs we should remember the fine entertainment at the Christmas program, at Baccalaureate, and for the Kiwanis Club. Also, to be remembered is the choir music at the spring concert and at the Music Tournament at Baraboo. Not only do they enjoy giving these programs but they all have a primary interest in this choral group. Some members enjoy these types of music or like to sing, while others wish to cultivate their musical understanding and knowledge of the Great Masters. Still others may reveal a hid- den quality in their voice. 51 Purple Banner editors. Purple Banner Interviewing students — typing madly — worrying about dead-lines — This sounds very much like the Purple Banner Staff. These peo- ple were kept very busy typing the articles up, arranging the articles on the dummy sheet, and proof-reading all the material. This year's staff was headed by editor Gerry Wischman. Other members were Olive Stearns, news edi- tor; Shirley Hanusa, make-up editor; Paula Krueger, copy editor. Eldon Thies, one of the Gleaner photographers, helped the staff by taking pictures for them. Under the direction of Mrs. Clauson, the eager staff put out the high school news in true journalistic fashion. Row I—Mr. Feuerstein. O. Stearns. P. Krueger, G. Wischman, W. Redman, S. Hanusa, I.

The editor, Helen Gade, assisted by Virginia Lathrope and ad- vised by Miss Bowden, planned the entire book and the staff took care of all the write- ups, correct spelling of names, and other de- tails. Joyce Groeneweg had charge of the senior pages, Rita Klippel edited the copy, and Don Ward created the art work for the divi- sion pages. The student photographers who took pictures during programs, pep meetings, and games were Eldon Thies and Jerry Gant and were directed by Mr. Westerman. To make money for the Gleaner, the staff dili- gently tied bows for Bow Day and sponsored several dances. Row 1— M. Harrison. L. Winecke. C. Klipp. D. Hudzinski. M. Vosen. Miss Sheffield.

D. H. 1. A. The long, complicated name of this organi- zation is Dairy Herd Improvement Association. This group is concerned with milk tests, per- centage of butterfat, quantity and quality of milk, and such. From these things, records are made to help the boys find the best money- making cows in the herd. To encourage the fathers to become interested in this program, an annual Father and Son meeting and ban- quet is held. Mr. Lathrope is the adviser of the group. Row 1—R. Horkan, H. Koenecke. D.

Fishing! Trips! These things are all a part of the life of the Future Farmers of America. The pigs, barley, and wheat are projects which the boys work on during the year. Durinq the pest contest, mice, rats, sparrows, and other common pests are collected and rewards are given for them. The fishinq trip is held at lag Lake during the sum- mer. Other things the boys enjoy are basket- ball, speech contests, exhibitions at fairs, and educational movies. An annual Father and Son banquet in the spring climaxes the year. The officers are LaVern Kaney, president; Ed Kruse, vice-president; Duane Kraemer, secre- tary; Orlin Hasse, treasurer; Ken Baumgarten, sentinel; Frank Harmeyer, reporter, and Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Lathrope, advisers.

Bachelors Club Over in the corner, a group of three boys stand over a hot stove. What are they doing? Stirring waier!! Sometimes the boys give Miss Hebert and Miss Sheffield a bad time. On the other side of the room, we see another group of boys boiling egg whites. Why? Oh, we're making meringue for our lemon pie! The boys encounter many difficulties but learn many things and have a lot of fun. Safety Patrol Hey there! Back on the sidewalk. No jaywalking! These are the familiar cries of the Safety Patrol boys. Under the direction of Mr. Mayfield, the Safety Patrol meets to stress the need for safety. Each patrol boy is assign- ed a different position at which he is stationed during the noon hour.

They are taught how to shelve books and file magazines, to check out these materials, and to do many other things peculiar to a library. Each hour, one of these girls is present to act as librarian. As Miss Piquette's assistant, she points out references, straightens shelves, and checks out materials. On Friday, their job is to put the library in order for the following week. Movie Operators Would you enjoy operating a motion picture projector? Judging from the popularity of the Movie Operators Club, one would assume that many people do. The members of this club, under the direction of Mr. Lathrope, learn the technicalities of operating and repairing our fine new 16 mm. sound projector. At each meeting an educational or entertaining movie is shown by a member of the club. Many times the boys are asked to show movies for mem- bers of the faculty and businessmen of the city. Row 1—O.

Who plays which position? Can't I play forward for a change? These are some of the many head- aches Miss Kortendick, the adviser of the Girls' Athletic Association, has. These girls have a fun-packed time on Wednesday afternoons and Monday nights. The G.A.A. has many dif- ferent divisions of activities. Some of these are basketball, badminton, bowling, and vol- leyball. The girls elect a captain to head each group. The captains make out the teams and schedules for the games. Last year the girls drew up a constitution which is now in effect for the first time. Each succeeding year after the first one, a girl re- ceives one award. The executive board picks the most outstanding girls who are awarded with chevrons. Row 1—S. Gross, B. Roznos. M. Gavin. C. Greenwood. Miss Kortendick. B. Pugh. M. Breska. C. Daniels. S. Bergman, G.

Loyalty Council The Loyalty Council was reorganized and enlarged this year; it now consists of twelve members instead of four. They operated under a new constitution and elected officers who are Connie Baumgarten, president; Jack Lucht, vice-president; and Lois Thies, secretary-treas- urer. The council took on additional duties as a student council and helped decide on activi- ties that are not under the administration's di- rection. In addition to these duties, they plan- ned the Homecoming activities. The members count game and dance tickets and determine the percentages that are used at the Loyalty banquet. These students select the banquet theme, orchestra, and decorations. A talent show which was a huge success was spon- sored by the council, giving students an op- portunity to display their special abilities. Who's leading? The Seniors? Row 1—J. Roloff. R.

These are the cries of a member of the Rifle Club as he shoots to be- come a pro-marksman and then goes through the remaining stages to become an Expert Rifleman. Many work hard for the highest award which is Distinguished Rifleman, but few achieve this goal. The club competes with other schools by mail order matches or in per- son. Officers are Ed Kruse, president; Melvin Austin, vice-president; Jerry Kelly, secretary- treasurer; and Mr. Lathrope, adviser. R°w 1—Mr. Lathrope, E Kruse. J. Kelly, V. Lathrope, G. Kutz, W.
