Admi1'1iStrat10g X 5 A XX X xx X X X A ' f xx X' MR. McKEAN As superintendent of our school for twenty-seven years he has proven himself exceptionally capable and worthy of his position. We all owe a great deal to Mr. McKean for his excellent leadership and guidance in making our school system what it is today. BOARD OF EDUCATION Left to right: Mr. F. Drew, Mr. C. Hemsey, Mr. A. Fick, Dr. H. L. Syverson, Mr. E. Long MR. CRANE Our very efficient assistant superintendent, Mr. Crane, is highly respected here at Tomah and is ever ready with a hearty chuckle or a mischievous twinkle in his eye to help all students with perplexing problems. OFFICE GIRLS Virginia Zastoupil Marian Dohlin MISS MCADAMS 1 The name of Miss McAdams represents to all students a likeable personality and an extremely able helper to all who come in contact with her. Her initials M.M.M. probably constitute the best known signature at Tomah High. We all will remember our teachers as the backbone of our education. As the ones who gave us that extra little push when pushing was necessaryg and the ones who were always helpful and understanding when things came up which called for such. Of course we all had our moments, but all in all I'm sure we will remember the experiences with our teach- ers as being very pleasant ones. Down through the years, poets, authors, and composers, have tried to prove to the world, that teachers are actually human. I'm sure that any student in THS doesn't have to be given written facts to prove this point, at least not about Tomah teachers. In living and working with them day by day they have proved over and over not only to be the guiding hand, but friends and fellow funmakers as well.

As we enter the office, familiar things spring up into our minds, cafeteria, tickets, tardy slips, excuses, bus tickets, and then of course many of us remember those times we were summoned to the office over the public address system. We find Vir- ginia and Marion busy as bees getting out their daily work. Marion tells us she really enjoys her new job. But let's go in and visit Mr. Crane. By the merry little tune we hear, we surmise he is his usual cheery self. We will always remember Mr. Crane by his ever-ready quick smile and his understanding and calm nature. We hear the rattling of keys and are certain we are about to meet Mr. McKean. The wise, judicious, fair and just Mr. McKean, who has always been the under- standing counselor to students with perplexing problems. As we leave the office we notice someone sitting at the hall table. Of course it's none other than Miss McAdams. The make up cards stacked before her bring back memories to all of us. Tomah High wouldn't be the same if we didn't have Miss McAdams to help us. As we go on walking down the hall we meet Mr. Rayment hurrying out of his room. He seems to be in a great rush, probably to see one of his debators. But he does have time to stop and talk with us for awhile. He says he really has a good U.S. history class this year, and that even dogs seem to be interested in his course. One day Mr. Rayment entered Block F history to find a little cocker spaniel sitting very pertly in his chair. But let's go on and sto in and see how Miss Green is coming with her civics class. She says she has enjoyed her first year at Tomah very much, but there is one thing that bothers her: being mistaken for a student. As we leave we see Mr. Roemer coming out of the Study hall with the attendance slip. What is that we see tucked neatly under one wma: t. , t, rlr.. .r . . arm? Aha! Comic books!! I wonder who it was this time. Going up the North stairs to the third floor we are greeted by a terrible odor. As we near Room 308 we understand what the smell is. Block C chemistry students must have been at work again. Mr. Nelson greets us with an un- usually cheerful smile, he explains he is always happy around this time of day, because the next period is his favorite class, Block F. Well we will leave Mr. Nelson with his prospective joy and go across the hall to visit Mrs. Krueger. We are greeted by the clatter of typewriters, and we understand that Mrs. Krueger is giving tests today. Mr. Nielson comes in just as we are about to leaveg it seems he has some typing to do. Must be shorthand or bookkeeping classes are going to get another one of those nice little tests. But let's go on down the hall and visit Miss Milliren. As we enter we find her busily caring for one of her ' many plants. We hear about l poor Willy and also about the joy the advanced math class gets every week, out of cleaning the animal cages. As we leave, we see Miss Schuelke and Miss Sandvig standing near the hall table, it seems they're discussing a certain mouse, deposited by a person who has a Keene Sense Of humor.

Dena Rowan .Krueger, White- water State Teachers College . . We go on further down the hall to the English II room, to find two of the new Eng- lish teachers, Miss Daga, and Miss Barclay helping Miss Reiser with some last minute things for Red Cross. We hear the good nat- ured Miss Daga has gotten pretty disgusted this past year, over a certain window shade and Block E class. But let's go downstairs and stop in to see Miss Rehwinkel. We find her looking over a pile of papers. She explains she is correcting gym tests. And, oh those tests! Across the hall we find Miss Dittmer at the piano. We are told she is playing for one of her contest students. She has certainly done a fine job with the vocal groups this year. As we are listening to Emil's Song of the Open Road, Mr. Mewaldt came in. We have cer- tainly appreciated the fine performances the band has shown at various programs during the year. I'm sure we all agree that the Swing band is certainly hep to the jive. We will leave these two fine music groups to go down and watch the coaches in action for a few minutes. Going down the South stairs we almost bump into Mr. Campbell rushing up the stairs. I wonder where he could be going in such a hurry, it wouldn't be Room 310 would it? We've heard Mr. Campbell had quite a bit Lowell Schettler, B.S., Platte- ville Stale Teachers College . . . Earl Gatzke, B.S., Ripon College . . . Laurel Dickinson B.A., Stout Institute, Univer- sity of Indiana . . . Ieanne Reb- winkel, B.S., La Crosse Stale Teachers College . . . of fun with those cute little dog squeakers one day in Block C. With boxing, track, and baseball in course the gym has really been packed with a multi- tude of eager boys. We enter to find Mr. Dickinson up on the stage, coaching one of his boxers and there is Coach Schettler and Mr. Gatzke leading the boys in calisthenics. Out in the hall again, we suddenly see a pile of books round the corner and walk to- ward us. No - wait! It's Miss Olsen. Must be she's been out to find overciue library books. Mmmmm, what is that wonderful aroma. Let's follow our noses and find out. Of course, it leads to none other than the Home Ec. Dept. We find Miss Wurtz has lucious apple pie waiting for us. As we sit down to have a piece, Mr. Ness comes in to join us. Mr. Ness tells us about the senior Ag. boys new method of fooling the administration. It seems he was gone one day, and Mr. Crane was left with the responsibility of watching the boys. But instead he merely switched on the P.A. system and stayed in his office. But the fellows got wise to that trick and merely tapped a book over the loudspeaker. Hmm, wonder if it worked?? And thus we leave our 1948-49 faculty, hoping to see all of them back next year. 4 1 Nl Seniors. 1 SS 1' U 21 9118 Q5 nm M01 1 14 I Q 111 19-59x N' 5 A Word From The Staff We planned, we worked, we struggled, we argued, we dreamed, we pleaded, we worried, we prayed . . . and here it is . . .

After all was said and done, the following four people were elected officers: Leland Hedding, presidentg Allen Lind, vice-presidentg Doris Bloyer, secretary-treasurerg and James La- Berge, Sergeant-at-arms. Many Juniors are very busy this year participating in debate, music, the various sports and clubs, helping the Seniors get out their Hamot, and working and writing news for the school paper. And no one can deny that Mr. Rayment's tall tales aren't amusing. Back Row: left to right: T. Lowe, R. Miers, G. Paddock, L. Pierre, E. Roeske, A. Lind, A. Legore, P. Mueblenkump. Row 3: E.

All of us trying to live up to the sophisticated sophomore role. When Miss Reiser saw bright shining faces, she thought of what a wonderful year it would be. fWe'll leave it at that.j The first business meeting of the year was held on September 20, when we elected Rex Moseley, presidentg Ar- thur Sowle, vice president, Arlene Chapman, secretary-treasurer, Jack Hess, Sergeant-at-arms.

We participated in many activities, including the Homecoming parade, where we received honorable mention on our float. As we near the end of our Sophomore year we anxiously await the many opportunities that we will be offered as Jolly juniors. We hope our big event of the year the Junior Prom will be as great as those of the past, and so we strive to these ends, as time marches on. F reshm en 'Q M5 X TTU K' 4 Q!

On December 9, 1948, at 2:00 P.M., the Freshmen Day at Tomah High school. Many parents assembled in the auditorium to wit- ness the program which was directed by Miss Green and Miss Rehwinkel. The program was opened by the class president, Dick Shutter. An inspiring Christmas pageant which con- sisted of the Shepherd scene, the manger scene, and the wise men scene brought out the true Yuletide spirit. The readers of the Christmas story were Donna Gray and Donna Warnke. William Krueger brought the Christmas pageant to an impressive climax with his solo, O Holy Night. Miss McAdams, closed the program with a very inspiring talk. Following the program, freshmen ushers ushered their parents to the cleverly decorated cafeteria, which was directed by Miss Barclay, for re- freshments. A huge tree ornamented the cafe- teria with its lovely Christmas trimmings. Pine branches decorated the windows, and among the branches colorful Christmas ornaments could be seen here and there. Refreshments, planned by Miss Wurtz consisted of Christmas cookies, mints, nuts and coffee. An enjoyable afternoon was had by all. Back Row: left to sight: M. Alwell, R. Mare, H. Goff, T.

N EW LISBON 6 In a nlon-conference game during a heavy rain, Tomah High school opened their 1948 football sched- ule by defeating a surprisingly tough New Lisbon team by the score of 18-6. The Indians played good ball considering it the first game of the season. Rlfhard Wilson, right halfback accounted for two of the three touchdowns, while Bob Shutter scored the other on a pass in the first four minutes. TOMAH o ...,.................. v1RoQUA 6 A very good Viroqua football team defeated the Indians by a 6-0 margin in the first West-Central conference game of the season for the Tomah eleven. Aside from the one touchdown the game was played onleven terms throughout most of the game. Again Wilson made some good runs, one of 60 yards which was the longest of the game. TOMAH 7 .................. MAUSTON 12 A greatly improved Tomah eleven fought Maus- ton through four periods of grueling football before bowing 12 to 7 in a West-Central conference game. Insecure ball-handling beginning ,early in the game, and occurring quite often throughout was, in part, the cause of the defeat. The linemen played very good ball and held the Mauston backfield in check throughout the game. Dave Pier was the outstanding player of the game for the Indians. a North-Central conference game by a score of 12-0. Chippewa scored twice in the first half and held off the Indians for the remainder of the game. Although the hard charging Chippewa team was in charge most of the game, the high spirited Indians kept on trying. TOMAH 0 ....,,................ NEKOOSA 7 Before the smallest crowd to attend a game here since the new lighted field was built, the Nekoosa Papermakers defeated the Indians by a score of 7-0. Nekoosa had a fast, rugged team but the Indians held them to 7 points. Tomah had many opportunities to score, but fumbles and a good Nekoosa defense stopped them. TOMAH 0, LA CROSSE CENTRAL 58 Central High school rolled to victory over the Indians, scorin in every quarter. In the fourth quar- ter Tomah mage three first downs in a series of pass plays, but could not shove the ball across the goal. Richard Hubert starred for the Indians making a large share of the tackles. TOMAH 0 .......................... SPARTA 20 Outweighed by the big Sparta eleven the Tomah Indians closed the 1948 football season with a 20-0 set back. The Indians tried to score in the last few minutes with passes but time ran out before they could cross the goal. So ended a not too successful season as far as wins were concerned, but a lot of experience and morals were gained by every boy on the team. Coaches Schettler, Gatzke, and Dickinson did a fine job and should be praised for their work.

Basketball . Now that the football season is over, the athletic interests are on the exciting sport of basketball. With but two returning lettermen the 1948-49 squad will 'be greatly inexperi- enced. Basketball has been a very successful sport for Tomah in the past five years. Every year from 1943 to 1947, Tomah has been rep- resented at the state tournament at Madison. In 1949 the hopes for a state contender were high. It is true that the squad was inexperi- enced but they were hard fighters. But once again Tomah was beat out in the first game of the regional tournament. This year only three seniors will be lost to the squad, Jerry Clay, Ralph Kubal, and Phil Schroeder. Bob Boehm and Bob Shutter, both juniors were the leading scorers on the team. Boehm with 178 points and Shutter with 170 points. Jerry Clay was elected captain by his team- mates. Letters were awarded to the following: Seniors: jerry Clay, Ralph Kubal and Phil Schroeder. Juniors: Bob Boehm and Bob Shut- ter. Sophomores: Art Sowle and Jack White. Freshman: Dick Shutter.

Of what importance are they to the varsity squad? These questions are very often asked. But in reality, if it wasn't for the essential training a boy gets as a member of the B squad, he would be of no use to a basketball team. At every practice, Coach Earl Gatzke drills his players on fundamentals - passing, dribbling, shooting and other essential drills necessary to make a good basketball team. The 1948-49 season as a whole was indeed successful. Only an average record of nine wins and eight loss- es was established. Don Peth and Vic Burn- stad, a sophomore and freshman respectively led the team in scoring. Don made 147 points and Vic 155. Next year Coach Gatzke will again put together a young inexperienced group of boys and make them ready for the varsity squads in years to come. Keep an eye on these lads for in a couple of years they will be playing their best for the Tomah High.

At the Sparta Invitational meet, we won second place and a week later Tomah copped first place in a triangular meet also at Sparta. Next Tomah won another first in the conference meet.

This is the first year that credits have been given for participation in vocal music. The choir ap- peared in a Christmas program on December 15, singing many beautiful Christmas songs. Everyone in our musical organization is look- ing forward to the Music Festival at La Crosse on May 7. We worked hard all year and expect to make a good showing at the tournament.

Everyone realized that any solution to this problem would not be easily achieved. There was a lot of shifting of team members to obtain satisfactory combinations and we no- ticed a good deal of individual talent for the future. The squad made trips to Richland Center, Eau Claire, and the highlight, a week- end at Carleton College, Northfield, Minn. Everyone at this tournament was treated royal- ly. Interschool competition came into view. We attended the district meet at La Crosse State Teachers college where we tied for 2nd place. From there we went to Stevens Point Sectional meet where we missed the boat to the state tournament. The fact that this year's squad did not reach the state should give next year's squad something to work for. So we resolve: To wish all debaters luck and success.

This year saw the G.A.A. again in full swing under the direction of Miss Rehwinkel, our new physical education teacher, and leading the group as officers were President, Veronica Rischetteg vice president, Doris Grumanng and secretary-treasurer, Barbara Heyer. Homecoming our first big project, was a success because of the fine work of the com- mittees. It was hard work, but a lot of fun, especially watching or being in the parade, serving the coronation of the Queen, Gwen Hoffman, and finally the Homecoming dance. Throughout the year the roll call list grew longer as new members were initiated, and several girls were awarded G.A.A. letters hav- ing earned the required 1000 points. The or- ganization also took up a proposal to adopt a new emblem which would be awarded to any girl having 500 points after receiving her T. Many girls showed interest, and participated in bowling, a new G.A.A. sport undertaken this year. Several of the best bowlers from this group accepted a challenge from Sparta and bowled against them. A bowling trophy, awarded to the winning team in the G.A.A. tournament, and to be handed down from year to year provided additional element of enthusiasm for the bowlers. The climax for the season was the physical education demonstration representing the whole year's program and intramural activi- ties, and put on so the community might learn of the work being done in physical education. we ox W, The annual parade with gay floats started out the festivities for a success- ful Homecoming. 111 Kxoalgaf aa W W ei 11 e. 119 G.A.A.

They are striving to learn the art of making successful homes and the foundation of better living in the home and community. Some of the activities during the year are as follows: On December 9, in the auditorium they had their formal initiation ceremonies by candlelight during which each new member parade was a top hat and received third honor- able mention. The FHA had their annual Stunt Night the evening of February 4 after being postponed from january 25 because of bad roads. It was a big success with the office staff's Operation X winning first prize of 35. The Glee Club and Choir awarded 33, for the presentation of The Talent Show. The Hilltop Highlights with Deadlines were awarded third prize of 32. With the money received from the success of the Stunt Night, they plan to go on a trip somewhere in the state. 1 Buck Row: left to right: R. Fotb, J. Marson, P. Jaffee, R. Treat, P. Jensen, D.

It is under the direc- tion of Miss Green. The following students were elected as officers for this year: president, Tommy Nelsong vice president, Raymond treatg secretary, Doris Bloyer and treasurer, Kenneth Schamens. The Sketch Club, under the direction of Miss Reiser, has taken great strides this year. The high point was reached when club members entered their paintings and drawings in the . . Sketch Club Rural Art Exhibit at Sparta in March. Two members, Phyllis Kortbein and Grace Redman, received two honorable mentions apiece and Mary Alice Schroeder achieved the distinction of having her picture chosen for the state exhibit, one of eight persons to be so honored, and the only one chosen from the juvenile division. The judges had favorable comments for all the Tomah entries. We hope that the Sketch Club may continue its fine program and be even more successful in the future. Back Row: left to right: W.

Our advisor was Mr. Ness. Our organization has an active member- ship of 87 with one honorary member. Among the many activities offered by the F.F.A. for vocational agriculture boys, Parents Night was one of the highlights. In this activ- ity the F.F.A. pointed out to the parents of the Freshman boys and girls the courses offered in school and their farming programs. Sports in the F.F.A. are rated high as a recreational activity. Strong intra-mural teams were developed in volleyball and basketball. Active players on the teams were: Norman Parker, james Murray, Ronald Prell, Don Von Haden, Carroll Betthauser, Leon Prescott, Martin Snyder, john Richards, Billie Markin, Gerald Sweet, Ivan Witt, and Fred Sulkey. Among the boys who were outstanding dur- ing the year on farming programs are Ivan Witt and Gerald Sweet. Both have made ap- plication for and are candidates for the Wis- consin Farmers degree.

This year the Latin Club has had a new and very fine sponsor, Miss Sandvig, and the mem- bership has increased to approximately thirty students. The purpose of the club is to stimu- late an interest in, and cultivate an apprecia- tion of, the heritage we have received from the civiliiarion of ancient Rome. After more than two successful years this club has become an institution at Tomah High and its members hope it may continue to benefit its students socially and intellectually for many years. Student Typists . The student typists under the direction of Mrs. Krueger have done a fine job of helping teachers with their typing and dittoing.
