LEAHY In dedicating this issue of the Sauk Log to the teachers of our school, past and present, our staff is paying tribute to a group of people most worthy of recognition. Teaching school is notan easy task. Few people are qualified to do the job well. Those who are. should be given the recognition they so richly deserve so that others with similar talents may be encouraged to enter this nob el profession and in so doing guar- antee to future generations of Americans the preservation of our cherished heritage.

Plans for our Junior Prom were started just before Christ- mas. and we were busy as we anxiously prepared for the big night of May 10th. Many of the Juniors took part in various extracurricular activities offered by the school. Everyone profited by belong- ing to these organizations and enjoyed them as well. We are looking forward to our last year with the hopes that the guidance we receive will better us for our future careers. Sponsor: QUALITY CLEANERS SOPHOMORES Fifty-one former freshmen returned to Sauk High as sophomores with great expectations of the school year ahead. Their activities during the past year indicated how much enthusiasm they really had. Initiation sponsored by the class for the freshmen in the latter part of September was a big success. The freshmen proved to be good sports by giving a return “Sadie Hawkins’’ dance. All the sophomores seemed to haveprofited from the new schedule started this past year. As summer vacation nears the sophomores look forward to their junior year in the hope that it will be as successful as their past year.

The Future Homemakers of America is an organization which promotes the values of home- making. The mono “Toward New Horizons” expresses the purpose of the organization. The emblem of the F.H.A., which is centered around a house supported by two hands, symbolizes that the future homes of America are in the hands of its youth. The F.H.A. colors are red and white, and the flower is a red rose. The main goal is learning to live better today in order that the home- making pupils’ lives and those of their families may be bener tomorrow. Any pupil enrolled in the secondary school who is taking or has taken a homemaking course may become a member. Girls may earn degrees of achievement; these include Junior Home- maker, Chapter Homemaker, and State Homemaker. Most of our activity this year has been centered around the organization of our chapter. Our big even for the year is the installation of our officers by the Lodi F.HLA. chapter. The Sauk City officers for this year are: Roselynn Barbian, President; Wylina Kippley, Vice-President; Florence Marzolf, Secretary; Nancy Jenewein, Treasurer; Caroline Schauer, Program Chairman; Nancy Frey, Student Council Representative; Joyce Kirchstein, Editor; Mildred Ballweg, Parliamentarian; Esther Virnig, Historian; and Miss Hanson, Advisor.

A DAY AT SAUK HIGH” PLAYING r 'XI October 19, Homecoming Day at Sauk City, was a nice warm fall day. Our band did some fancy steps as they led the afternoon parade of King Jerry Preston and Queen Jo Ann Maier, their court, and the floats of the classes and various organizations. Evening activities began with a snake dance, with students going through the main part of town and ending at the ballpark where the bonfire was held. The band and cheerleaders got everyone in the mood for the big game. Kick-off time was at 7:30. King Jerry and CXieen JoAnn were presented during the half-time ceremonies. The fighting Cardinals then had a score of 41-0 and kept scoring the second half, with the game ending 62-6. Canadian Sunset was the theme of the Homecoming Dance. Scenes with a setting sun decorated the walls. The gym resembled a Canadian scene with trees, fences, sleds, ducks, mountains, and other outdoor objects used to make it realistic. The music was furnished by Larry and His Rhythm Masters. The court of honor included Marilyn Crapser, Tom Schmit, Karen Bongard, Larry Breunig, Bernie Frey, Stan Frosch, Andy Lee Montgomery, Jack Breunig, Sheila Grauvogl, Daryl Sorg, Patsy Frey, Eddy Miller, Bev Schara, and Tom Endres. Dan Bruenig crowned Jerry as King, and he in turn crowned JoAnn as his CXieen.
