DEDICATION Dr. Peter Langenfeld was bom in Theresa in 1878. He attend- ed high school in Beaver Dam, and graduated from Northwestern Medical School in 1903. He married Leona Quandt in 1912, and in 1914 Gregory Langenfeld, who has followed in his father’s footsteps, was bom. It is with a spirit of gratitude for all he has done for our community in his 45 years of practice, that we dedicate this Milestone to Dr. Teter Langenfeld.

Early in the school year the High School students organized the Student Council for the purpose of being the link between the faculty and the students. We elected Patricia Bintzler as the council president. The students from each class met to decide which boy and girl should represent them in the council.Quentin Lamers and Kathleen Walsh represent the freshman class and Ken- neth Bodden and Nancy Allarding represent the sophomores. SCHOOL PATROL Shortly before Christmas Miss MaudeGriffin organized the school Safety Patrol. On our Open-House day, November 18, the patrol- men, lieutenants and captains were installed by Officer A1 Gur- ske. The duties of the patrol are to maintain safety and order in our school. They have done an excellent job Carnival October 29, 1949, was the date of our carnival, but for several weeks before we were very busy making prizes and getting things ready. The carnival was a huge success and we wish to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped to make this possible. HIGH SCHOOL STEW Take one high school student. Soak in ordinary school routine from morning until late afternoon. Add at various intervals during the day a couple of failing grades, a scolding and some wasted time. At three- thirty drain and soak for an hour in a detention solu- tion. Drain and add candy or a sundae from Foti's and then a hasty supper. Season with a little fussing, some movies and perhaps another sundae. Serve at once with bad dream's. Most people think this stew delicious while others do not, but it depends upon whether they are participants or spectators. Ivy, Nancy, and Earl PRESHIES The freshmen differ from most things no matter where they1re found. They re like the frog the croaks and sings, and green the whole year 'round.

We have just come into the building of the New York Times. Going into the office, whom should we see but Nancy Allard- ing and Patricia Bentzler as copy girls, typing away. A.s we walk farther, we see at the editor's desk none other than Earl Lichtenberg, and conversing with him is his assistant editor. Silverius Polster, our number one reporter, comes rushing in with the story that Carol Leichtle,the new Broad- way star, is to marry Clifford Dogs, the latest discovery of the New York Yankees. After we get over that shock, Kenneth Bodden comes in with a few pictures of David Hartman who is the director of one of the biggest animal hospitals around here. As we come back home again we find we have missed Ivy who is now living on a farm near home. Ohl We also forgot our big- gest fellow student, Ralph Giese, who has now taken over his dad's trucking business. We wish you all the best of luck in the future. Ivy, Nancy, and Earl CAN YOU PICTURE?

Ivy, Nancy, and Earl ENTERTAINMENT Our entertainment year started with the initiation party which the sophomores gave the freshmen. On the morning of September 24, a day which the freshmen shall never forget, the girls came dressed in bib-top overalls, knee boots, woolen shirts, a bow for each leg, a man’s felt hat, a necktie, a suitcase, and a mouthful of paraffin. The boys came clad in a girl’s robe with a pillow pinned in back to resemble a bustle,one bare leg and one stock- inged, one high-heeled shoe, a bow on each leg,a corsage of beautiful vegetables, a clothespin necklace, and last but not least, a suitcase and a paraffin-filled mouth. All day long we were subject to sophomore hazing. IXiring the noon hour the sophomores paraded us about town. Then they gave us whisk brooms and toothbrushes with which we had to sweep and scrub the sidewalks. As we were troop- ing back to school, Constable Lawrence Steger arrested the whole freshman class for disturbing the peace. Later we found he was only joking. In the evening we were given a horror-provoking trip through the torture chamber. The evening was concluded with a wonderful lunch. We invited the last year’s soph- omores back for our Hallowe’en party. We enjoyed our- selves by playing games and finishing off the evening with an appetizing lunch. We spent the first two hours of our Christmas party go- ing caroling. Then we came back to school for games, lunch, and our gifts. Ted and Quentin T. H. S.

After it got too cold to play outside, we started go- ing to the village hall to learn to play basketball. This spring we hope to organize a softball team so we oan play a few games. Nancy BASKETBALL This year our team lost two starting players of last year s squad. Nevertheless, there is quite a large squad. It consists of Tom Foti, Clifford Dogs, Leo- nard Wagner, Kenneth Bodden, Dennis Frings, Quentin Lamers, David Hartmann, Silverius Polster, Ralph Giese, and Roger Krueger. Our first game was against Lowell which we won 20 to 18. Another game was play- ed with. Lowell at the Mayville gym which we lost 23- 24. We hope to have some more games this season.
