We at once made our debut into the extra-curricular activities of the schobl. A. Barta, D. Dickinson, J. Champlin, E. Burnstad, J. Rose, D. Moseley, T. Jessen, N. Butterfuss, J. Schedler, M. Frings, R. Jansen, D. Mittness, G. Oswald, D. Foye, and D. Trowbridge were out for football. D. Dickinson, J. Rose, J. Schedler, M. Frings, E. Burnstad, G. Oswald, and V. Quick were out for basketball. Joan Dams and William Carson were in Debate. The musical organisations were also well represented by the sophomore class. We put on a Sophomore Day when our parents came to see their prides and joys in action. The high school parties we sponsored were a success, as everyone seemed to have a good time. We studied English and History under Miss Reiser and Miss Schuelke. l wonder if Miss Schuelke still remembers her Block C History Class? lt doesn't seem possible she could forget so soon! Everyone was ready for the vacation vlhen it came, but we were looking forward to being Juniors. ln the fall of '46, 134 Juniors trudged up the High School hill to begin their studies. This year we were upper classmen and rated almost as high as the Seniors lso we thoughtl. Our class was still well-represented in school activities. We had seven lettermen in the class and John Schedler and Dwight Dickinson were on lhe first team in basketball with Eugene Burnstad, John Rose, and Verne Quick substituting a lot of the time. Juniors were also in debate, music organizations, track, boxing and forensics. es, this was the year the girls of our class had waited for - they could go to Prom this year. nder the leader- ship of Norman Butterfuss, Eugene Burnstad, Marian Dohlin and John Schedler, ur class held the annual Junior Prom. The theme was The Old Lamplighter. The Prom King, Nlarman Butterfuss, chose Arlene Gamerdinger as his queen. We found this year had been iust as successful as the other two and after a struggle with our final exams, school was out, and vacation was in full swing. At last we are Seniors, the class of '48. We. elected our class officers: Johh Schedler, presi- dent, Al Barta, vice-president, Marian Dohlin, secretary-treasurer, and Norman Butterfuss, Ser- geant-at-Arms. We received our class rings, selected the Hamot Staff, and did many other things that make being a senior so much fun. In October a Homecoming was held? and Charmayne Damerow, a Senior girl was chosen as queen. Karyl Moseley, also a Senior, was chosen as one of her attendants. This year as in years gone by, our class was well represented in school activi- ties. Our football team was made up of almost all Seniors. The first five in balketball were all Seniors. Marian Dohlin was chosen to represent Tomah High in the Daughters of the American Revolution Contest this year. High scholastic honors were earned by Joan Dams, Leota Hedding, and Gordon Oswald. Now our high school days are drawing to a close. These four years have been four short years packed full of memories of all the fun we have had. W'hen we come to school for the last time as Seniors, we may shed a few tears, but the memories of all the things we have accomplished should bring a smile to our faces. l i

Standing: Al Barta, John Schedler, Norman Butterfuss. Seated: Marian Dohlin ay M467 Yes, it was a great day way back in September l944, when l5l freshmen began their high school career. It iust wouldn't be right to say we weren't green - well, not very green anyway! However, since we were such a bright l?l class, it didn't take long to shed our green color and get right down to business. At our first class meeting we elected our class officers: Dwight Dickin- son, president, Dean Robinson, vice-president, Arlene Gamerdinger, secretary and Marian Dohlin, treasurer. As we look back over the years, we remember the hopes and disappointments we had in our first year of high school. We did put on a successful Freshman party, and also had members of our class in Band, Debate, Choir and Sports. Another thing we are proud of is that we didn't get lost as much as some of the upper classmen did when we came into the new building. Didn't I tell you we were a bright l?l class. Well, after such a successful freshman year, 148 silly sophomores came back to make an even better showing. For class officers we elected Dwight Dick- inson, pres.,Norman Butterfuss, vice-pres., Marian Dohlin, secy-treas., and Wm. Sowle, Sgt.-at-arms.
