Willie Krueger, our janitor, was born in Frankfort, Germany in 1902, and came to this country in 1920. He is well known to all Reedsburg High School students, but few of them actually realize the countless jobs he has. In the summer time he supervises all school repairs, which include mending the roof, painting the rooms and sanding the desk tops. When fall comes, Willie can be seen raking leaves, checking winter supplies, and issuing text books to the teachers. During the winter there is always snow to shovel and the school to keep warm but never-the-less he always has time for a friendly smile and a hi for everyone who goes by. We appreciate the many things Willie has done for our school in the thirty-one years he has been here. In recognition of his service and never ending good humor, we, the Seniors, dedicate our Gleaner to Willie.

It might very well be Friends. Wide friendships enrich character. Form a few selected friends among people wiser than you. In youth we have friends among older people; in later years, young friends. Youth has need of age and age has need of youth. Choose your friends with care. Prefer people for what they are, not what they have. One tends to become like his friends and to be judged by them. Avoid attaching to yourself as friends, persons who are intemper- ate, avaricious, extravagant, or ungrateful. Our friends are a part of our larger selves. We identi- fy ourselves with their happiness and seek to be worthy of their friendship. These higher loyalties make life significant. They ennoble life and fur- nish comfort and happy memories for our later years. In the years ahead I trust that you will always remember that happiness is an achievement, not an accident, and that the greatest ideal of all the ages — the brotherhood of man — is based on friendship. Sincerely, 1. 1£ IN MEMORIAM . . . Mrs. Quimby was born April 1 1, 1882 in Sleepy Eye, Minn. She obtained her B.S. and M.S. degrees from the University of Minnesota, graduating in 1902. She came to Reedsburg as a science teacher in 1906. Mrs. Ouimby studied law and English by correspondence from the University of Wisconsin. Mrs. Quimby served on the Reedsburg Public School Board for sixteen years, retiring from the presidency last June, 1952. She served twenty-six years as president of the Library Board. Because of ill health she resigned from the Freda Nishan Scholarship Committee of which she was secretary. On August 13, 1952, Mrs. Quimby died at her home in Reedsburg. On the evening of her death she planned to attend a meeting of the School Board. In tribute, contribu- tions were made to a memorial Scholarship Fund. ARLENE ROLOFF, BARBARA PAFFORD, ARDEL KREY, BERNICE MOYES, MARY EMERY Office Girls . . . It is a familiar sound to all R.H.S. students when they hear, “May I have your attention?” over the pub- lic address system. It is either Ber- nice Moyes or Arlene Roloff. Ber- nice is Mr. Normington’s secretary; she takes care of the high school business so it runs smoothly. Arlene is usually taking care of everyday matters such as typing up reports, and doing daily duties in the office. Bernice and Arlene greet the stu- dents in the morning and through- out the day with a friendly smile when you get your make-up cards or passes. If someone calls for you or would like a report about you, they have a very orderly system so you, or the report, can be found immediately. Bernice and Arlene help to make up a part of the friendly and helpful atmosphere of Reedsburg High School.

IN MEMORIAM On Thursday, August 28, the Seniors lost one of their well liked classmates. August Peper, while en- route to the county fair to care for stock he was exhibiting, was fatally injured when the cor he was driving struck a concrete culvert. August was on active member of the Reedsburg Future Farmers of America Chapter and of the Reedsburg High School football squad. We hove missed August during our Senior year and will not forget him in years to come. A nrYuudb tdi OtWjdb Jthsu A ujcAxv : SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Soon after entering R. H. $., we lowly freshmen were initiated by the seniors. The Luck o' the Irish was wished on us as we kissed the Blarney Stone at the Wearing of the Green Initiation Party. To lead us through our lucky and eventful year we elected Nor- man Zimmerman, president; Pat Doyle, vice-presi- dent; Jessie Howard, secretary-treasurer; and Pat Byrnes, Loyalty representative. Louise Wirth and our Irishman Dwight Cowan were the freshman Home- coming royalty. Our luck ran out, however, for at the end of the year, we took fourth place in Loyalty. In our sophomore year, our twins shared top class office posts. Herman Kramer was president, and Helen was secretary-treasurer. Other leaders of the year were Ed Schuette, vice-president; and Joyce Retzlaff, Myron Noth, and Charles Douglas, Loyalty representatives. Homecoming found Pat Gallagher and Charles Douglas as sophomore royalty. The day before school was out. Bill Mahr died. Everyone has greatly missed Billie's happy personality. Our Jun- ior year was indeed a busy one. At the beginning of the year, Don Reinfeldt was elected president of the class with Marcia Mason filling the post of vice-presi- dent, lone Meyer, secretary-treasurer; and Pat Gal- lagher, Myron Noth, and Norman Zimmerman Loyal- ty representatives. Donna Steinhorst and Larry Foss resided in the junior spot for Homecoming royalty this year. Soon after Homecoming, we sponsored a Hob Goblin dance for Halloween. Black and orange streamers draped the gym and a black silhouette of an old witch on her broom festooned the curtain be- hind the orchestra. Tragedy struck our class when death claimed another of our number; Johnny Frie- bel was killed December 1, when the truck he was driving rolled over. We felt as if we were really up- per classmen when we got our class rings the last part of January. April 18 the Stairway to the Stars Prom was presented with Pat Doyle and Larry Foss reigning. Various sized stars were so arranged that they formed a sky over the gym floor, and the throne was placed on the stage in a prominent position near the stairway. Pat Gallagher and Myron Noth were chosen to attend Badger Girls' and Boys’ State at Madison and Ripon. This.our senior year, has been about the most eventful of all four. Early in the year, Mike Gschwind was elected class president with Jim Roever as vice-president, Ruth Krueger, sec- retary-treasurer, and Carol Daniels, Don Lichte, and Myron Noth on the Loyalty Council; Myron also be- ing Loyalty Council president. We all miss August Peper who was fatally injured in a traffic accident last summer. The Baby Sitter's Ball was given Sept- ember 12 to initiate the new freshmen into R. H. S. life. October 17 was Homecoming with Yvonne Cour- tier and Gene Berning on the throne. In February, lone Meyer was selected D. A. R. candidate by the seniors and faculty. The comedy Meet Corliss Ar- cher was given by the Senior class in April, and was a great success. Throughout our four years, many in our class have been outstanding in sports, music, and other extra-curricular activities in which great honors have been brought to our school. Per- haps someday, many of us will travel throughout the world making new friends in all lands and races, and thus promoting world peace.

Next year our leading competitors will be this year’s juniors. The juniors have always shown great talent in most of the things which they have under- taken. This class has contributed many of the boys who have been active in sports and from this group there are many lettermen. The girls have also gone out for the different activities. The band has ab- sorbed many of the juniors, and two of its high step- ping majorettes come from this ambitious class. In the vocal section one will find the juniors, too. The girls have shown their pep and vigor with all the varsity cheerleaders coming from this eleventh grade. There were six in the beginning, but during the middle of the year one of these talented girls, Gloria Laufenberg, moved to Waukesha. Much credit must be given to these girls who have helped greatly in the victories of the basketball and football teams; for their cheers and high spirits have been something which the team and fans alike have always known they could depend on. One of the big high lights of the junior class is its prom. This year they have de- cided to have the best prom possible and went ahead to try and reach this goal by electing Melvin Licht as their prom king. After careful planning, they an- nounced to the rest of the school that their theme was going to be April in Paris. Seeing that this is an up and coming class, they chose ambitious offi- cers. Their president is Bill Giese; vice president is Margaret Lathrope; secretary-treasurer is Patricia Ziech; and the Loyalty Representatives are Dick Jewell, Anna Haugh, and Dana Curtin. ...JUNIORS CLASS OFFICERS Top Row: DANA CURTIN, DICK JEWELL, ANNA HAUGH, Loyalty Representatives.

Everyone has their eyes on the sophomores, who have proven to be one of the best classes. They, with the help of Mr. Schien, their class advisor, have led the school during the first semester in loyalty points. It seems that this is a class that has great teamwork, for everyone worked very hard for their dance, “The Soph- omore Hop, which was given after the Portage game, February 6. During the intermission Jim Roever gave his version of pantomines for the entertainment of the dancers. They also showed good judgment in their choice of officers, who are as follows: president Dick Gant, vice president Marvin Leppert, secretary-treasurer Margaret Meyer, and the Loyalty Representatives Con- nie Merkel, Dorothy Mueller, and Virginia Arvold. They also have shown their ability by winning two loyalty points for being the best salesmen in the magazine cam- paign. Their musical ability is proven by the great turnout in chorus and band. One of the talented soph- omores is our leading majorette, Gail Farwell, who adds a bit of color to the band. It is not hard to guess that in the coming years they will be an excelling class in sports and other activities taking the place of out go- ing classes. The other classes have a difficult time keeping up with the sophomores’ pep and wish they would slow down, but the sophomores never seem to tire. As it is the desire of every class, they want to try and be the best class, and I believe they have a good start. Well, Erie, I have tried to tell you some of the interesting facts about the sophomore class. Is it much different from yours? Be sure and include the tenth grade in your letter when you write.

You see, we have shown the other classes that they are going to get a lot of competition from us. We started right out by winning the Homecoming skit and by having the best floats. We were carefully coached in these and other matters by our class advisor, Mr. Lynett. We have only begun, as was proven by our good start in the magazine sales. Being new, of course we were a little slow, but that didn’t hold us back. Our initiation dance, the Green- horn Ball, was one that we will always remember. Af- ter three hilarious days of proving that we were fit to take on the activities of high school days, we became full members of Reedsburg High School. The large number of freshmen in the band and chorus indicates our musical ability. We will be able to take over our share in sports soon with the large number of athletic boys in our class. To help us continue this good start throughout the year, we chose as our class officers, Dawn Lingard, (that’s me!) for president; Donald May- field for vice-president; Delores Grosklaus as secretary- treasurer; and Ronald Owen, Richard Schroeder, and Helen Hamburg as our Loyalty representatives. We “small” freshmen leave one last word with the out- going seniors, “We may be small in appearance, but we are great in competition.” We have shown it so far and will continue to show it to the remaining classes in the years to come. Well, Erie, I have tried to sketch for you our freshman class as it is this year. I will be looking forward to hearing about your school.

The Gleaner editor, lone Meyer, with her able assistant Donna Steinhorst, jun- ior editor, Patricia Zeich, business man- ager, Pat Gallagher, scriptwriter, Mary Roewer and the rest of the members of the Gleaner staff have been working hard all year to put out our annual. “The Gleaner helps us remember some of the events that have happened to us during the past year. Miss Gillis, with the help of Mrs. Schultz, a former teacher at Reeds- burg High School, have been advising the staff on many important decisions. Mr. Westerman, the advisor of the photo- graphy section has shown great patience while taking the Gleaner pictures. This year the staff has sold pictures from the last year's annual to help pay for this year's “Gleaner. They have also spon- sored candy sales from which they got a considerable amount of money. The old year was fast coming to a close so the Gleaner staff decided to take matters in- to their own hands and sponsor a Leap Year Dance after the Richland Center game to give the girls a last chance to get their guys. A photo contest was also sponsored where prizes were given for the best photos brought in. This year's theme is Writing a Letter to a Pen Pal. Dawn Lingard was chosen as the fresh- man to write the letter because she is the president of the freshman class. Audrey Markham's handwriting prevails through- out the book. She was chosen by the staff as having the most appropriate handwriting for the book. The small cari- cature drawings that are seen throughout the book were done by Patricia Zeich. Special pages for this year’s annual were done by Darlene Foss, Patricia Doyle and Margaret lathrope. The black and white committee consisted of the whole Gleaner staff. The three editors worked very hard to get the lay-out all drawn up for this year’s book. GLEANER STAFF AT WORK Purple Banner During the sixth hour on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday the PURPLE BANNER staff meets. Each member meets two out of three days. They are busy working on write-ups, typing copies, and worrying about deadlines. This year’s editor is Bonadean Ol- son; news editor, Mary lichte; make-up editor, Carol Daniels; copy editor, Roselyn Westphal. Mrs. Claus- on typing teacher at Reedsburg High School, is in charge of the staff. On Tuesdays, the sports’ staff meets with Mr. Feuerstein and Mike Gschwind, sports editor. Mr. Westerman helps in taking the PURPLE BANNER pictures. This year’s issues of the PURPLE BANNER were done up in different colors for the special issues. You may have noticed the green is- sues at Christmas time and St. Patrick’s Day. The magazine sales finance the PURPLE BANNER. They originally cost a dime but are now received free of charge. THE PURPLE BANNER comes out eight times during the school year. Every two issues they have a redrawing of runs for assignments. Some of the differ- ent assignments are: activities, classroom notes, mis- cellaneous, humor, editorials and feature articles. On Wednesdays before the paper comes out, all members meet. They have a big dummy sheet and then proceed to glue all the articles that are to ap- pear in the paper on this dummy. After this the whole paper has to be proof-read by Mrs. Clauson and some staff members. After this is completed, it is sent to the Reedsburg Times Press to be printed. The letter to the students and faculty in the PURPLE BANNER that has been written by Hanna Hamster, has been taken over by Busy Beaver after Hanna was called to Hamster Heaven. THE PURPLE BANNER staff exchang- es papers with many schools in Wisconsin and sur- rounding states. Row It N. Gaetzke, R. Westphal, M. Lichte, B. Olson, C. Daniels, A. Krey, P. Ziech. Row 2: S.

The Wednesday group elected Carol Daniels, president, Gloria Hanusa, vice- president, and Kathy Meyer as secretary-treasurer. The girls really have a lot of fun in these various sports. In the early fall, softball is the main sport. A. A. Later on, during the winter volley-ball and basket- ball are played. Sometimes when less energetic ac- tivities are desired everyone engages in dancing. Some very exciting basketball games have been played between R.H.S. and the Sauk County Nor- mal School with our G.A.A. usually coming up vic- torious. The awards that are given are: freshmen, membership, sophomores, numerals, juniors, G.A.A. emblem, and Seniors, the letter “R. Row 1: N. ligman, R. Westphal, D. Schyvinch, M. Meikut, K. Meyer, C.

Rifle Club Rod and Gun Club The Rifle Club in Reedsburg High School is a fine example Of the sportsmanlike, inter-city competition that is being carried on by many of our organiza- tions. The members practice at least one night a week in their attempts to achieve awards offered by the National Rifleman's Association. In the past few years the Rifle club has to its credit sixteen Expert riflemen and five Distinguished riflemen. The high school gym is used for their practice and they have specially built indoor targets and other equipment for more efficient conditions. The club is taught and supervised by Mr. Lathrope. The officers of the club are: president Don Sharpee, sec'y-treas. Dick Gant. Many students participated in Rod and Gun Club this year. It has been divided into two sections and meets Monday and Tuesday during the sixth hour. The main objectives of the club are our natural re- sources, filling leisure time, and development of hob- bies. There are forty-nine members in the club and Mr. Mayfield is their advisor. Monday officers are Gordon Gade, president; Jerome Vertein, vice-presi- dent; Gordon Baumgarten, secretary-treasurer; and Gerald Elfers, reporter. Tuesday officers are Bill Meyer, president; Arland Schanke, vice-president; Kenneth Schutz, secretary-treasurer; and Harley Wiese, reporter. OW 1. tow 2. tow 3 tow 4 tow 5. Row 6. M. lepert, R.

Library Club Junior Red Cross Every Friday during the sixth hour a group of about twenty-six girls meet in the library to learn how to bind, file, varnish, and check out books. They have an opportunity to help with the various tasks in the library at least once a week during their free periods and are taught and supervised by Miss Al- len. The officers are: president, Shirley Hoege; vice- president, Mildred Gabelt; Doris Shannon, secretary. Help! That's what you could get from this group if you were in need. Nancy Farber is the president, with Eldarene Hoff, vice-president; and Mildred Ga- belt, secretary-treasurer. A dance, collecting for clothing and polio drives, making tray favors, and presenting a program at the County Home have kept club members busy. In addition to this, they gave twenty dollars to a family whose home burned. Row 1. Miss Allen, M. Gabelt, N. Farber, E. Hoff, S. Hoege. Row 2. M. Schiefelbein, E. Rogney, P. Hemberger, J. Meyer, G.

Safety Patrol Each noon during the school week members of the safety patrol, directed by Mr. Mayfield, safeguard our students from the lunch time traffic around Reeds- burg High School. All corners of the school are pa- trolled. Harlan Meyer is the captain of the patrol boys this year. Almost all of the boys belonging to this fine organization are experienced from previous years of service. Movie Operators Club During the first few weeks of the school year Mr. Lathrope instructed a group of boys in the art of operating and setting up of a movie projector and movie screen. When a teacher needs an operator she can select a boy for the hour she wants from a list in the office. A fact you might be interested in is that they visited the outdoor theatre to see the com- plicated mechanics of two movie projectors there. Row 1. R. Bergman, Mr. lothrope, M. Hoofer. Row 2. K.

Under the direction of Mr. Niswander the members wrote radio scripts and tape recorded. Continuing their work with the help of Miss Jonas the group dramatized plays with the hope of broadcasting them over the local radio station WRED. Pep Club At 12:30 p.m. on Thursdays, we hear a mysterious yelling coming from the high school gym. It sounds as if some people are practicing some of the school cheers. We decided to investigate and found it was the Pep Club practicing yells. The cheerleaders and Miss Orvis, along with D. Steinhorst, president, M. O’Brien, vice-president, and D.

Aunt Agnes finds a diary JUNIOR PROM APRIL I N PARIS KING MELVIN LICHT AND QUEEN JUDY RICE This year's Junior class kept the tradition of having an April prom plus the tradition of having a successful prom. The Juniors chose for their theme, April in Paris. It was carried out in their decorations which were small flower carts, the Arch of Triumph, and a gay Paree scene in the background. These were just a few of the decorations, and, of course, to make the decorations complete there was the swishing of beautiful formols, lights, and the Grand March. The couples entered the night of April 17, through the Arch of Triumph. The King, Melvin licht and his Gueen, Julia Rice, led the dance to the music of Eddy Lawrence's orchestra. They chose the President of the class. Bill Giese and his date, Gail Far- well, who were in the Court of Honor to crown the King and Gueen. The rest of the Court of Honor was as follows: Margaret Lathrope, Vice-President; Pat Ziech, Secretary; three boys, Marvin Alt, Pete Montgomery, John Bill, and their dates. The King and Gueen sat on the throne, built in the form of a crown, while, the Court of Honor stood. There were only two committees, the Decoration Com- mittee headed by Barbara Pafford, and the Publicity and Pro- gram Committee headed by Margaret Lathrope. We were thankful for the help of our advisor, Mr. Mayfield and the rest of the Junior advisors who helped to make the prom a success. PRIZE TABLE SOPHS - 1952 The Loyalty program is based on eleven different activities: scholarship, school support, athletic participation, music parti- cipation, Homecoming float and skit, magazine soles, open house, citizenship, forensic participation, school attendance, and the Loyalty banquet.

The first parade of the season was the Cranberry Festival Parade in Wisconsin Rap- ids, September 27. Others were the Reedsburg Dairy Festival Parade, the Homecoming Parade, and the Armistice Day, Music Festival, and Mem- orial Day Parades. Band shows were given be- tween halves of the football games at home and the game at Richland Center. Homecoming night the Wisconsin Dells band was entertained with supper at South School. It later took part in the half-time activities at the game. Concerts were played at Dairy Festival and Old Settlers, and the Spring Concert was given April 1 2.

About thirty band members played solos and in ensem- bles at the Music Festival held at Richland Center, March 27. New white gloves were worn April 25, when the entire band traveled to Richland Center to perform at marching, sight reading, and con- cert playing. Piano solos were also played on this day. Leading the marching band in parades this year were Gail Farwell, head majorette, and Polly Ann Stadel and Bonnie Barkenhagen, a twirling team. These girls did a splendid job and we can look forward to seeing them strutting before the band again next year. Our many new band mem- bers have done a wonderful job and will no doubt develop into fine musicians. DRUM MAJORETTES Bonnie Barkenhagen, Gail Farwell, Polly Stadel. Row 1. I. Tourdot, J. Reimer, P.

Miss Christopherson, giving a lesson The beginning of the year found the choir preparing for the show to be given with the band and chorus for Homecoming in which the formation of a huge stairway and gigantic star was made. The band members wore cap lights and the choir and chorus members carried flashlights to supply the only light on the field as “Stairway to the Stars ' was played and sung. It was said that this was the most impressive show of the foot- ball season. In November a Main Room program was presented consisting of religious, patriotic, and specialty songs. On December 17, familiar carols were incorporated in the theme of the Christmas Program to accompany the pantomine presented by various students. A candle light procession, echo choirs, solos, and a duet made this one of the outstanding events of the year. Music for a radio recording, the Music Festival, and the annual Spring Concert kept the choir very busy the second semester. The many seniors in choir made their last high school appearance when Miss Christopherson, the director, led them in singing their songs at Baccalaureate. Music is said to be the international language, and the sixty some members of the choir are very likely to agree that it is a beautiful medium of understanding. Singing for pleasure or singing prepara- tory to being promoted to choir, the girls in chorus, under the direction of Miss Chris- topher, have a merry time. The girls joined the band and choir to form a huge stairway and star for the half-time festivities of the Homecoming game. The chorus and choir sang the refrain of Stairway to the Stars with band accompaniment. The Christmas Program was greatly benefitted by the se- lections of the chorus which were various carols and a Scandinavian song named A Joyous Christmas Song. Another highlight of the Christmas season was a trip to the County Hospital where a concert was given for the patients. This excursion was enjoyed by both the patients and the girls. The chor- us sang May the Good Lord Bless and Keep You, The Ash Grove, and We Come with Songs of Gladness in the Spring Concert, showing that the choir will really profit by its new additions next year CHORUS.. .

We were minus Charlie Douglas and it was a very hot af- ternoon, but after the smoke had cleared and the score stood Darlington 45, Reedsburg 14, we all had to ad- mit the whole trouble had been too much Darlington. The following Friday was not scheduled and so the boys had extra time to proctice and scout their next opponent, Viroqua. It all payed off on the evening of September 26th when the Beavers rode over Viroqua 27-0. High points in the game were the hard charging Reedsburg line and a 95-yd touchdown run by Douglas. Next the boys went to Richland Center to spoil their homecoming with a 7-7 tie. Splendid defensive work by the Reedsburg eleven did the trick, and at Richland Cen- ter the boys played their finest game of the year. The Baraboo game on the following Friday was really a heart breaker to lose. The boys played well, but lost several scoring opportunities and failed to pro- duce the needed points. The following week the Beavers battled one of the league leaders, Dells at Reedsburg's Homecoming. Fol- lowing a Reedsburg fumble the Dells scored and the battle was on. The final score gave Wisconsin Dells 27 and Reedsburg 12. Splendid defensive work by Don Lichte and another 95 yard touchdown run by Charlie Douglas plus a real team effort throughout were high- lights of the game. The boys took Mauston a bit too lightly and were barely able to eke out a 13-7 win via a touchdown with less than a minute remaining in the game. Marv lewis and Don Schaefer teamed up to score the first touch- down; Lewis blocking a punt (with his face) and Schae- fer recovering in the end zone. Portage, the last game of the year provided another victory for the Beavers, this time 20-13. The gang was leading 20-0 until the last quarter when Portage sud- denly came to life and scored two touchdowns. Again it was the running of Douglas and this time aided by passing from both Douglas and Varnes with Curtin, Zimmerman, and Bill doing the receiving. Everything considered the boys did a grand job throughout the season and were a highly respected team in the conference. COACH % REFEREE IN ACTION HOLD THAT LINE!

BASKETBALL The season opened with a bang when the Beavers met a deter- mined group of boys from New Lisbon; bent on beating a lorger opponent, they almost succeeded, but in the end fell short after a scorching overtime battle that ended, Beavers 54, New Lisbon 49. On the next Friday the gang was tripped up by Madison Central and defeated Mauston the following week by a lopsided score. The Sparta game, which saw Reedsburg winning once again, pro- vided Pat Byrnes the opportunity to make an outstanding perform- ance. Tomah was slated the team to beot in the conference, and proved to be just that. After a see-saw battle the Beovers finally had to settle for a double overtime 44-42 defeat. A win at this point might well have meant conference victory for the Beavers. Richland Center and Nekoosa fell before the Reedsburg team next, but Baraboo reversed the situation at the local gym. After Christ- mas vacation Wisconsin Dells, Portage, and Mauston were de- feated very easily but again Baraboo proved too much as the Beavers stretch drive fell 6 points short of victory. Then ending the season, four teams. Portage, Viroqua, Wisconsin Dells, and Richland Center were defeated, providing the teams longest vic- tory string of the season. The sub-regional tournament at Reeds- burg provided the greatest basketball thrill of the year. The first night matched Baraboo, victors over Reedsburg twice during the season, against the Beavers for the third time. Reedsburg five decided it wasn't to be three in a row and played the outstanding game of the year to prove it. The Beavers used a pressing defense very effectively and at one time kept Baraboo from crossing the center line with the ball for five minutes straight. The score ended 60-37 in Reedsburg's favor. The following night the Beavers defeated Wis- consin Dells 58-56 and then continued Saturday night with a 56-53 COACH upset victory over Madison Central to cop the regional title. The team lost the first game of the Sectional to Wisconsin High but returned the next night to defeat Campbellsport for consolation honors. 1952-53 SCHEDULE RHS Opp. November 18 ..............New Lisbon 54 49 November 21 ............Madison Central 46 64 November 25 ................ at Mauston 77 49 December 2 ....................at Sparta 57 41 December 5 .......................
