Sauk City High School - Sauk Log Yearbook (Sauk City, WI)

Page 25 text:

during our first three years of high school, while our country was at war, our class ranked first in the sale of defense stamps and bonds. This year we have an enrollment of 28 seniors, who, no longer bashful, are active in practically all of the activities in school. At Christmas time we produced a play called “Feudin' in the Hills at Christmas” which was enjoyed by the whole school. The editor and assistant editor of the Pen and Quill Club are seniors, and other seniors are also members of the club. Paul Loy, a senior, is president of the student council. In the fall of the year every senior boy was out for football, most of them on the regular squad. We also have a good participation in band and chorus. Now as we are preparing to leave, we want to thank all the teachers, the principal, and everyone who has helped prepare us for the greatest school of all — “the school of life.
