V F ' 7 I J f ' f s R f ff - ' . l 0 U I O CS K f 'ur an How fortunate we are to have such an expert director for our drama as Mr. Norming- ton. We certainly agree that What Mr. Olson doesn't know about students Mr. Normington does. Always kind, sympathetic and understanding, untiring in his efforts to help us to get our parts well in hand, recognize our cues, build our ideals of what a good actor should be when he appears in O Brave New World, Mr. Normington is, we feel, one in a million. An able assistant director of our play is Mr. Olson. So many are his duties that we won- der how he can keep track of them all. But any member of our cast at R. H. S. who thinks he can get by without handing in his make-up card or coming late for curtain soon finds that Mr. Olson knows all and sees all. But he possesses to a marked degree those qualities which make a good director. He knows how to get along with teachers and students and inspires all to do better work. W'e like him and have the feeling that he likes us too. DEAR SENIORS: You have been preparing yourselves these past four years for the parts you will play in life. Your forefathers with great sacrifice laid the foundations for a nation in which the people would rule themselres and would make the laws which would gorern their common life. Each succeeding generation has held to this ideal of democracy as the nation has spread over a great continent. Now, as you take your places on the stage of this BRAVE NEW' IVORLD. a world that is brought closer and closer together by modern communication and transportation, and a world of races with different ideals, religions, customs and languages, your, part will be to carry on the creative thinking and courageous action of your forefathers. These wider inter- ests must in some way be brought into harmony. As the drama unfolds l know that you will take your places with confidence and optimism. , 7 DIRECTORS In any play, there are people behind the scenes whose names are never emblazoned in the lights but who are, nevertheless, essential to a successful opening night. Bernice Moyes and Arlene Roloff, our of- fice girls, fit in this category. They know the rare art of winning friends and in- fluencing people. Efficient, kindly, al- ways ready with friendly smiles and cheerful greetings, they put timid stu- dents at their ease, and, by some magic formula, solve problem after problem for teacher and student as the day pro- gresses. ciministmtion .

Senior Class History . . . Now we are ready for opening night and in a short time we will be real troopers. These final months of rehearsal have been hectic in a way but lots of fune too. It would be hard to recognize in our confident and hardworking cast of seniors, the lowly freshmen who entered R.H.S. in September, 1949. They were officially accepted as members of the cast in the Senior Fanta Sea with King Neptune leading initiation. The actors who led them through the first year in the new setting were jim Roloff, presidentg Bill Roewer, vice president, june Piskey, sec'y-treasurer, Bill Varnes, loyalty representative. Many students showed their acting abilities, by participating in band, choir 81 athletics. To prove they are a hard-working, energetic group, they placed 3rd in loyalty. Ushering them in as sophomores, Gene Reynolds took the lead, acting as president. His capable assistants were Mary Schaffitzel as vice president, Betty Schirm- ang, sec'y-treasurer, 8: Pat Byrnes as loyalty representative. Along with hard work there muSt be some fun too, so they entertained the entire student body at the Cottonrail Hop. Displaying atheltic ability, jim Roloff, Lowell Darrow, Erwin Hissey, john Gschwind, and Gene Rey- nolds brought sophomores fame on the varsity basketball squad, Again this year, Paula Krue- ger and Mary VUarren were A-squad cheerleaders. Placing second in Loyalty was quite a feat for the class of '52. They continued their steps toward higher honors by a new election sys- tem and by electing a separate prom king. jerry Hutchens and Alma Schaefer reigned over the junior prom at which jerry Billington's orchestra carried out the theme April Showers. The critics gave high reviews of the beautiful April prom. Mary VC'arren was selected by the performers to guide their class through a very successful year. Bud Harmeyer as vice presi- dent, Mary Schaffitzel as secretary treasurer, Lois Thies, junior Doro and Jerry Hutchens as loyalty representatives helped her to prepare the class for their dress-rehearsal. Miss Finnegan directed the class of '52 through the first three years. john Gschwind, who attended Badger Boys State, and Lois Theis, who attended Badger Girls State, received information which will prove helpful in facing the audience. Nine boys received R's for football and the varsity bas- ketball squad was centered around the juniors. Now we see them just before the Opening curtain. The Big Y'C'heels opened the year by initiating the lowly frosh at Captain Kidd's Brawl. Leading parts were given to Bob Rindfleisch who was portrayed as the president, Darrell Blank, vice-president, Diane Stoeckman, secretary-treasurer, Bonnie Berning, David Burmester and jerry Kelly as loyalty representatives. Music and athletics played a major role during their last year with many seniors performing. Mrs. Laper helped in directing them be- fore curtain call. The senior class play Take Care of My Little Girl proved helpful in pre- paring them for facing the final audience. When the final curtain is drawn, the critics will give the class of '52 an excellent review. jtfk if 429,143 HONOR STUDENTS Rau' 1: E. Meyer, M. Scbaffitzel, D. Kutzbarls, L. Tbies, M. Wfarren, C.

Those eager, competent actors rushing madly about are - you guessed it - the juniors, who are getting ready for dress re- hearsal. To get a play on the boards there are so many important last minute things to do. They sponsor one of the biggest events of the year, the Prom, which, they claim, was the Prom of Proms. At the Hob Goblin Dance, their October frolic, they ably dem- onstrated their ability at scenic art. Their realistic black bats, corn shocks and witches on broom sticks made the gym frightfully spooky, But everybody had fun! Leading the Juniors in their rehearsal, with Mr. Nis- wander as director, is Don Reinfeldt as pres- identg Marcia Mason as vice president, lone Meyer as secretary-treasurer, and Myron Noth, Norman Zimmerman, and Patricia Gallagher as loyalty representatives.

Vfatch those sophomores! Unusually tal- ented and ambitious, these performers have been winning many coveted honors. Not only did they win first place with their Homecoming yell and their float entitled Beavers Swat Hornets, but also took first place in the clothing drive. Their so called Shadow Dance, despite its name, served to put them still more in the limelight. As far as VC'orld History goes, they are Eager Beavers, and are assimulating knowledge of the history of other races and peoples, their customs and traditions, so essential for all players who will have a part in the re- shaping of the world. To help the sopho- mores interpret their roles Melvin Licht was chosen president, Gloria Laufenberg, vice- presidentg Yvonne Schutz, secretary-treasun er, and Patricia Ziech, Margaret Lathrope, and Dick Jewell as loyalty representatives.

Then they were considered full-fledged members of the cast after the Captain Kidd Brawl spon- sored by the Seniors. These actors and actress- es displayed their fine ability by taking first place in the Homecoming skit. On November 50, they sponsored a very successful record dance.

How often we hear the familiar strains of our school song ring across the football field or through the gymnasium. The band, under the able direction of Mr. Hammel, helps to add color, as well as zest- ful music, to the many big scenes throughout the year. This year, for the first time, the band elected a council of three members - Ken- neth Parkhurst, Mary XY'arren, and VC illiam Giese. This group is super- vised by Mr. Hammel, Some of its duties are to settle disputes, take any suggestions of the students to Mr. Hammel, and decide which mem- bers are eligible for band letters. Of course, the Music Festival. is the biggest moment of the year, but the band also performs at Commence- ment, basketball and football games, and many social events.

Sixth hour on Mondays and Tuesday the Gleaner staff has attempted to record for the students of R.H.S. their efforts here at school to prepare for the challenging new world that awaits them after graduation. Each editor and her assistants worked on their various assignments to get them com- pleted before the deadline. Miss Bowden and Mrs. Desmond, our advisors, worked with Virginia Cor- with, editor, and Catherine Sullivan, assistant edi- tor, to plan the arrangement of the book. Our business manager, Karen Tuhus, and assistant, Gerry XY'ischman, took charge of the senior pages and other business matters connected with the pub- lication of the Gleaner. This year the business manager and assistants also sponsored the sale of personal graduation cards to help finance the Gleaner. Kathryn Franzen edited all the copy, and Mr. Westerman was in charge of the photo- graphy. ROW' 1: Mr. Westerman, M. Noth, K. Tuhus, V. Corwith, C. Sullivan, D. Schroeder, Miss Bowden. ROW' Z: D.

To achieve their aim, the develop- ment of agricultural leadership, cooperation and citizenship, they encourage a variety of edu- cational and recreational activities. They have exhibits at both the county and state fairs, and work together to purchase livestock, grains, potatoes, and trees. A speech contest and a con- test tb destroy farm pests, such as crows, are on their schedule. The boys have softball and bas- ketball teams, plan and conduct the F. H. A. and F. F. A. party and public dances as well as the parent and son banquet, attend the F. F. A. convention at Green Lake and go on a fishing trip to 'lag Lake. So these happy future farm- ers, who work with their advisors, Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Lathrope, are getting readv to make their farms more productive and their commun- ity life more enjoyable.

Homecoming, always a big day in Reedsburg, was this year a particularly heart warming occasion for the grads and students. lt's true the day didn't start out very well, for the weather was against us, cold and windy. But the parade soon brightened spirits. The floats were particular- ly clever, the sophomores, entitled Beavers Swat Hor- nets, winning first place. As groups of alumni got to- gether, there was the customary reminiscing about the good old days when Larry Reuland, who later played on the University team, was halfback, or when Art Krue- ger made a sensational run against Baraboo. Then would come the question, How does this team compare to the great team of - years ago? It's a flashy team all right, but do they have the stuff? Yes, our boys emerged victors after that whirlwind of excitement in the after- noon and proved that they had it. The fact that the first half of the game was a little disappointing, Reedsburg blowing alternately hot and cold, really served to em- phasize the brilliant play in the second half when Reeds- hurg scored twice in the third period, and once in the fourth, topping our guests by one touchdown, 20-15. The smile on fullback Erwin Hissey's face that night as he reigned with his queen Pat Hinz and their court, Larry Foss, Donna Steinhorst, jim Funnell, Patricia Ziech, Dick Gant and Kathryn Holly, over the Victory Dance, was truly inspiring. It was a wonderful day! kkxqf 1 FOOTBALL. .. Our play, O Brave New W'orld, includes a good share of athletic events of all types. This emphasis on sports during our four years we feel pays well in strong bodies and lasting friendships. Our coaches stress fair play and endeavor to develop the ability to take both victory and defeat in stride, very im- portant qualities for actors in this great play. This year, fortunately, we played many winning games losing only to Baraboo, Portage, and NX'isconsin Dells and ending up in sixth place in the Southern Ten. Of the games won on the gridiron the game with Edgerton was probably the hardest fought game of the season, we went in as the underdogs and came out the victors. But it was the Baraboo game that offered thrills and real drama. We were in suspense until the final second after a bad break for us when Baraboo got a safety near the end of the game and led by one point, 8-7, when the final whistle blew. The seniors have been proud this year to have eleven men on the football squad, Bill Varnes, john Gschwind, Erwin Hissey, Gene Reynolds, Lowell Darrow, Bill Roewer, Harlan Behnke, Ted Ninman, Lester Haefer, Dick Pilger, and Bud Harmeyer. Er- win Hissey was leading scorer and received the hon- orary captain's star for his all 'round outstanding play. Don Lichte, john Gschwind, and Erwin Hissey were selected for the first all-conference team, while Gene Reynolds and Harlan Behnke made the second team.

The fast. hard-fighting team combined an alert defense and a well balanced offense to bring them through with an undefeated season. Some of the games were won by a wide margin while others were full of suspense until the end. ln the first of the Center games the B team squeezed out a 25-25 vie- tory. Chez Douglas was the hero of the Baraboo game when he pulled the game out of the fire by dunking a free throw after the final gun had sounded to give the B team their sixteenth and final victory of the year. lilJL'I.li Stoughton , ., 32-18 Baraboo , , , H56-25 Fort Atkinson 34-22 VC'isconsin Dells ,, ,,,, 32-26 Viroqua ,56-28 Portage 56-54 Richland Center 29-27 Baraboo , , , ,, ., -10-59 Row I: Mr. jobtmrzer, B.

Not to be overlooked as suspense-filled scenes are the intramural contests, which give opportun- ity for many stars, though they may not be top- ranking ones, to display their talents. Mr. Bitt- ner's six teams, including two from the F. F. A., captained by Bill Roewer, Harlan Behnke, Gerald Schroeder, Harold Gehrke, Tom Grote, and Les- ter Haefer, played some thrilling games. Roe- wer's team were the champions of the first half of the season and Behnke's of the second half, In the play-off, a hard fought battle, Roewer's team copped the championship.
