The Gleaner Presents R. H. S. Traditions - Book I, Loyalty FOREWORD ... Loyalty is a tradition not only of Reeds- burg High School, but a tradition of the class of ’55. We, as Seniors, have chosen- Loyalty as the theme of our Gleaner because we feel that Loyalty is the foundation upon which our school is built. During World War I loyalty to our nation was stressed continually. Through the years that followed new phases of loyalty were taking form. In addition to loyalty to our country, loyalty to our school, our families, our church, our community, and most of all to ourselves, was emphasized. This tradition has been present in R. H. S. for thirty-seven years and will continue through future years. The essence of Loyalty is to develop school spirit by encouraging activity participation, scholarship, and citizenship. The Loyalty program also promotes class competition, as well as developing in the student the ability to work with others. We, as seniors, will soon be entering a new world. We will not enter as mere grad- uates of Reedsburg High but as well-rounded individuals ready to accept the challenges of a rising generation and meet responsibilities as loyal American citizens.

The dedication of the 1955 Gleaner has been made to an outstanding teacher of R.H.S. — Mr. Schein. One of his greatest interests has been the welfare of the Senior Class. In the role of advisor for all four years, Mr. Schein has been the inspiration behind the class, working with it on all the major projects in- cluding the Loyalty banquets and the winter prom. In and out of school he is known as a good friend. Deeply appreciated is the work he has done and long remembered will be the traditions he has helped establish for the class of ’55. ROY T. NORM1NGTON B.Ed.; At.A.; Lawrence College, Columbia University, Stevens Point College Dear Seniors— Congratulations to you, members of the Class of ’55, for a splendid record of achievement. As this is written it is not known whether you will set an all- time record of winning Loyalty for three consecutive years, but I shall be surprised if you do not. During your attendance at R.H.S. we have tried at all times to make the school a place where democracy is experienced through practice, to give you experi- ences in democratic living, and to make you deeply loyal to democratic ideals. Your record is an indication that you have learned your lessons well, that you appreciate and love the ideals of Loyalty, and that you see a vision of a future community, nation, and world, better than any we have ever known, to be attained through the de- voted consecration of each citizen to the basic ideals and values of American life.

Donnie, our friend and classmate, was accidentally killed while squirrel hunting in a woods near Plain. We find it hard to understand that Donnie is gone; and we all remember him as our football- manager, cheering the team on as they won and backing them when they lost. That was Donnie! He enjoyed being out-of-doors and found pleasure in nearly every sport. On our baseball team, Donnie was tops. We miss Donnie, on the football field, on the baseball diamond, in our class rooms, and in our hearts. ROW 1: J. Broum, B. Cassity, M. Harper, M. All, V. Bryant, E. Lehmann, P. Brady, K. Erickson, C.

JUNIOR OFFICERS JUNIOR HISTORY The enthusiastic Junior class got into the Loyal- ty race at the beginning of the year by taking top honors for their clever Homecoming skit and cheer. Their important decision on class rings was reached in early October, and finally one snowy day during December shiny new rings were being flashed on the skating rink and at the local hang- out by the proud owners. The climax of the year was their colorful Spring Prom held on the balmy evening of April 22, and the couples of R.H.S. danced in the tropical make- believe land of the South Pacific.” L. Droes, A. Gall. M. Scoon, E. Schulenburg, J. Blakedee. SOPHOMORE OFFICERS P. Schyvinck, R. Gundrum, L. Olson. T. Meyer, F. Peper, J. Bil FRESHMAN HISTORY Last September opened a new door in the lives of all Freshmen. We looked forward to initiation because we had heard about it in past years. Late October the Seniors finally informed us they were the sturdy oaks” while the Freshmen were small nuts.” We remembered our school Loyalty and obliged the Seniors by carrying out their orders. At Homecoming our float took second place, but we were not discouraged and just resolved to try harder next year. This year the Freshmen are sec- ond, only to the Seniors, in citizenship having had two selected for the good citizenship award. Sev- eral Freshmen participate in band, chorus, foot- ball, basketball, and forensics. We are proud of our Freshman A” team cheerleader who en- courages our attendance and loyalty to our team. As our class of 1958 goes on through our high school years we realize loyalty will lead us on to the achievements and the honors we are seeking. SOPHOMORE HISTORY The Sophomores have certainly set an example at school participation under the Loyalty System to be envied by other classes. They demonstrated their musical and athletic ability by the large number of Sophomores par- ticipating in band, football and basketball. They claim three of our A” cheerleaders and four of the majorettes. On November 19 they provided an evening of entertainment by sponsoring a dance for the stu- dent body. During intermission two talented Sophomores provided pantomimes much to the enjoyment of all. FRESHMAN OFFICERS R. Brandi, R. Kasiska, L. Rjtzer, G. Merkel, P. Lalbrope, G. DeBeir. RO W 1: V.

The Purple Banner staff at work FOOTBALL . . Head Coach NICK HOLMES The fifth game of the season found Reedsburg against their traditional rivals, Baraboo. The team was after this game not only to spoil the Thunderbirds homecoming, but to win it for one of their fellow teammates, Joe Kosack, who was hurt in an accident early in the summer and unable to take his place as a starting guard. The scores came from a beautiful 65 yard run by LeMoine after he had intercepted a pass and an eight yard drive by Don Mayfield. These backfield drives were helped by key blocks thrown by Dick Mylrea and Mick Krohn. Final score was 13-6. In our own Homecoming game the Beavers bowed to Portage 6-0. The fine defensive team again showed up as they held the Warriors when they were deep in Reeds- burg territory, but the offensive team failed to produce the needed scores. The last two games again found Reedsburg on the short end, but nevertheless showed the fine determination of the team as the scores indicate. Richland Center 6, Reeds- burg, 0. Wisconsin Dells 7, Reedsburg, 6. The season ended with a record of 4-4. Excellent ex- perience was gained by all the team members and four boys made conference teams.

The opening game saw Reedsburg battling with Dar lington in a non-conference game. The boys pulled a 7-0 victory by a touchdown scored late in the fourth quarter by Fred Harmeyer. On a muddy gridiron Reedsburg ground out a 7-0 victory over Viroqua in the first conference game. The lone touchdown was scored by Mick Krohn on a thirty- three yard pass play. Outstanding defensive play by Eugene Wilcox helped the team score this victory. In the next game against Mauston the Beavers ran over their opponent by an outrageous score of 41-0. Touchdowns were scored in every period, but in the second quarter the fans were brought to their feet as Fullback Lyle LeMoine dashed 94 yards to score. Tomah handed Reedsburg its first defeat of the season The boys settled for a 25-12 loss even though they out- played the victors statistically. Assistant Coach NORMA V SCHF.IN ROW 1: D.

Our Baraboo. We succeeded in winning by a guys lost the first three games but with the confidence and backing of our school body our basketball team started their climb to success. • We won the next few games and the scores at the end gave a sign of the close games that had preceded. We won the Richland Center game by the score of 57-55 in an exciting overtime. Dick Baumgarten came through in the last three seconds with a brilliant shot that saved the game. The next evening at Nekoosa we won 48-42 in a double overtime. The closeness of these games was matched only by the excellent spirit displayed by the students. Jim Bedessem sure helped us win by stealing the ball which enabled us to upset the game-winning Nekoosa. One big disappointment was our defeat to Baraboo by the score of 52-65. Our team never gave up even though we were behind. The game with Wisconsin Dells was an exceptional game. We won by quite a large margin. Mick Krohn showed the mettle that helped him win the title of South Central High Scorer. At Portage we continued our winning streak. Phil Schweke helped us by stealing the ball in the last ten seconds of play and making a basket. At Mauston we won by a three point margin. This game was the turning point for our team because the other teams lost. This left us in uncontested first place. The next game we had our chance to get even with At Portage our team had another close call but we managed to pull this one out of the fire. Charlie Kohlmeyer helped us win our last game against Portage by sinking seven straight free-throws, ending up with a night's record of ten for thirteen. Unfortunately, our team lost their last three games of the season. In spite of this, everyone felt we had a successful season. The tournament was held at Wisconsin Dells this year in their new gym. Our first game was against Baraboo. We lost, but the next evening we played the Dells to come through win- ning 78-72. Madison Central was our last game of the year— climaxing a truly successful season. Near the end of the season Ron Owen, Terry Meyer, and Jim Bill were really helping our team by playing good ball when they were used as substitutes. Meyer looked his best in the game against Tomah, whereas, the other two certainly displayed their skill in the tourna- ment. Haefer and Droes substituted consistently throughout the year also. And then there is one person who was vitally con- cerned with our basketball team and was sometimes forgotten. That was our manager, Larry Lichte. He real- ly helped the guys and gave them the added enthusi- asm they needed to win so many games. ROW 1. M. Krohn, J. Bedes sem, P. Scbweke, C. Kohlmeyer, D. Baumgarten. ROW 2: Couch Holmes, L.

Last May for the first time in several years, Reedsburg participated in a program of inter- scholastic baseball. They opened the season with a victory over Portage. On May 6th they defeated Elroy 9-0, due to the outstanding performance on the part of the R.H.S. pitching staff. Mayfield hit 4-4 to lead the Reedsburg hitters that day. The Beavers dropped the last three games of the season but with most of the team coming back this year, we have high hopes for a first place team. VOLLEY BALL . . . ROW' I: F. Austin, D. Snyder, R.

The cham- pionship game was played between Larry Lichte’s and Jim Corwith’s teams. Captain Jim Corwith and his team came out on top to win the top honors of the season. The leading scorer for the season was Dick Sonnenberg. J+ LOYALTY O O R % ' S TOP SCHOLARS ... Scholarship ROW' 1; L. Lins, D. Davis, . Phillips, . Proctor, 5. Booher. ROW7 2: G. Faruell. .

Every two weeks the Loyalty Council chose two students, a girl and a boy as good citizens. To qualify for the award, one must first be nominated by a mem- ber of the faculty. The qualifications on which the nominations are based are: attitude toward school, teach- ers, and fellow students, cooperation, industry, service, . . . GOOD CITIZENS PROGRAM and dependability. As further incentive to achieve this honor, there is d pin for each good citizen. The purpose of our good citizens program is to improve the morale of the school and to give all the students chosen for the award more recognition. 1.

A SALUTE TO JOE ! . . . Our salute is to a very special Joe.” There are a lot of Joes,” and though Joe Must Go,” has been ringing in our ears, it’s strange how different an in- terpretation can be. Joe Kosak to us is synonymous with action, sports. vitality and fun. He deserves special honor and recog- nition for keeping up his spirits and his studies at home. It is our fervent prayer that our Joe can soon get up and go — go — go. IN REVIEW HOMECOMING OF R. H. S. 1. Queen Candidates 5. Lettermen in Jr. Skit 8. Dick Baumgarten 12. Sophomore yell 2.

As Sophomores we really clicked” as a class and our team work was envied by the other classes. The Sophomore Hop was a huge success. Every organization, sport, and music group was penetrated by the Sopho- mores who showed varied talent in many phases of school life. Our pep and enthusi- asm carried us through the year together. On that balmy night in early May we re- ceived credit for a job well done for the Sophomores had won Loyalty! We were proud of our achievements and looked for- SEN I ORS REMEMBER . . . ward to our next year. As the leaves began to fall and students once again filled the halls of R. H. S., we Juniors took our places as upper classmerw Under strong leadership and renewed class spirit we were out to set new records and have fun doing it! This year was to become one of the most exciting and eventful. Thfere was the big decision about class rings to be made. Prom theme to be selected, and Prom King voted upon. Badger Boys’ and Girls’ State were honors bestowed on four of our classmates. Two of the biggest events of the year fell on the same night. As we waltzed over the fairy tale bridge into a Winter Fantasy many new class rings were flashing about. King John Kutzbach and Queen Connie Merkel reigned over a sparkling land of frosty white. Never losing sight of our goal we studied and frolicked through the rest of the year. Participation was wonderful, school support in abundance, debits were few, and grades were high. Once again we claimed the coveted Loyalty trophy. And as Seniors we were no longe ognized frosh of three years ago I ognized leaders. Loyalty is not only tion of R. H.
