As a group, we leave our enthusiasm to finish what- ever projects we have started in the future classes. We were very proud for being the first class in recent years to stage successfully a play for two consecutive nights. We want to leave this proved ability to the class of 1947. Oran Allvin wills his flirting habits to Jim Mahoney Wayne Andrews wants to leave his good driving ability to La Verne Millam who could use it. Agatha Bonnet has decided she is going to let Herbie Mills do her worrying for the following year. Edith Bourquin hereby bequeaths her pleasingly plump figure to someone who needs one. Bernice Bussman leaves her ability to hold the interest of one man to Sylvia Grindey. Betty Bussman bequeaths her love for school to Joyce Boyer. Donald Cullen is being kind enough to let Elsie Sullivan have his quiet manners. Robt. Dreibelbeis leaves his speeding habits to Sox. Betty Ernst is tired of being studious and would appreciate Helen Bussman’s tak- ing her place. Leona Gilbertson leaves her occasional temper to Mildred White. Orpha Gilbertson leaves her quick wit and sense of humor to Richard Bailsman. Robert Haffele wills his former out of town girls to Speed Reed. June Iieyer wants Rosella Swift to try her method of giggling. Ed Hubner leaves his obscure characteristic called, “oneness” to nobody. Maxine Martin leaves her love for History to Lawrence Barker. Betty Nadig always has fun when she goes to a dance and she wants everybody to have the same. I ’egg v Newman’s love for the Navy goes to anybody with similar interests. Marjorie Olsen wills her ability to cut figure 8’s on the dance floor to Lloyd Werner. Phyllis Pohill want Pat Sauer to learn her art of loving one man. Robt. Rowe leaves his nonchalant attitude to Mary Taft. Peggy Slothower wills her belief in the perfectionism theory to Elwyn Broege. Howard Watson wills his sweet and courteous ways to LeRoy Jenkins. Rosemary Werner wants to see Joyce Doubler assium� her bashful ways. Bessie Mae White leaves her abundant enthusiasm to Thelma Wills. Lorraine Wilcox leaves her charming personality to Jane Hicks. Marion Wolfram bequeaths her audacity to Lenore Rodda. Bradford Zipse wills his large vocabulary and his nose blowing technique to Nat- alie Fouchard. Holland Zipse hopes that none ever has the trouble lie’s had concerning English. Bequeathing these things to our successors we reluctently leave the halls of Warren High. ★ Oran Allvin •Wayne Andrews Agatha Bonnet Edith Bonrqnin Bernice Bussman Betty Bussman Donald Cullen •Robert Dreibelleis Betty Ernst •Leona Gilbertson Warren Hi Echoes - — Glass History •Robert Rowe Orpha Gilbertson Robert Haffele June Ileyer Edward Hubner Maxine Martin Betty Nadig Peggy Newman Marjorie Olson Phyllis Polhill •Peggy Slot bower Howard Watson Rosemary Werner Bessie Mae White •Lorraine Wilcox •Marion Wolfram Bradford Zipse Rolland Zipse The above list consists of those who are seniors today. Stars indicate those who started to Warren School in 1933, when they entered as first graders. Max- ine Martin joined us in 4th grade, 1936, and Don Cullen, the 2nd semester of 6th grade, 1938. Li the fall of 1941, we, and a group of boys and girls from the surrounding country schools, were finally ready for high school. Those that came in from the country schools are as follows: Agatha Bonnet, Robert Bonnet, Bernice Bussman, Hetty Bussman, Robert Gerbiok, Robert Haffele, .June Ileyer, Peggy Newman, Marjorie Olson, Rosemary Werne-, Bradford Zipse and Rolland Zipse. Of the above group, after completing two and three years of High School, Robert Gerbick and Robert Bonnet left to help their fathers on the farm. Betty Nadig left Scales Mound and started to Warren School in the second semester of the year 1942. Tn the year of 1943, there were three people who joined us: Bessie Mae White from Shullsburg; Edward Hubner from Battle Ground, In- diana; and Betty Ernst from Apple River. Lorna Ostrander came in our Junior year, leaving during her senior year, and David Jones, who had joined us as a Sophomore, left for Galena in the early part of our Senior year. When we became seniors in the Fall of 1944, two Apple River students, Edith Bourquin and Howard Watson, came to complete their high school courses with us Two of our would-be seniors are now serving in the Armed Forces. Clifford Eekerman joined the Army August 12, 1944, and Norman Peterson joined the Mer- chant Marines Oct. 23, 1944. Our individual histories on the senior pages show how we have participated in the activities of the school—ath'etics, speech contests, dramatics, and music. Fach vear our school works has been enlivened by our share of picnics and parties, ur most ambitious venture in this direction being the staging of the 1944 Junior- Senior reception, a banquet and dance with a “star” theme. The gym was canopied with blue streamers from which silver stars hung. Nut cups were little blue wag- ons hitched to silver stars which served as place cards. The star theme was car- ried through the program and series of toasts so that we were all inspired to hitch our wagons to stars. ★ ★...- — Warren Hi Echoes= Who’s Who Among- the Seniors NAME NICKNAME WEAKSPOT AMBITION Oran Allvii Umski Flirting To graduate Wayne Andrews Andy Money Singer Agatha Bonnet Sandy Worrying Nurse Edith Bourquin Edie Skipping school Grow up Bernice Bussman Bert Infantry Interior Decorating Betty Bussman Betts “Him” Study Psychology Donald Cullen Dick Model A’s Mechanics Robt.

Her father, the doctor, her chum Dodo, her sister Flora Lee, the maid, Cleota, and the culture crazed Miss Thaxter are all victims of Tom- my’s scheme to make everyone happy. When the wealthy spinster, Cassandia I horne, pays the family a visit and Tommy decides to revive an ancient romance the complications teach her a lesson. “All’s well that ends well,” says Tommy. SENIOR GLASS PLAY “SPRING GREEN The Seniors had the opportunity to present the comedy, “Spring Green” under the direction of Miss Helen Schubert. Nina Cassell (Betty Bussman), is the mother of two girls, Scottie (Rosemary erner), who is full of vitality and tomboyish tricks, and her fifteen year old sis- ter Tony (Bernice Bussman), who is just the opposite. Tony’s date with Dunk Doyle (Oran Allvin) is lost to Pinkie, (Marion Wol- fram), who has had a fight with her date. Bing Hulchkins (Bob Rowe). Scottie’s war effort is hunting for junk while her grandfather’s (Bob Haf- fele) is knitting. Pinkie and Scottie make plenty of trouble for the cook, Mrs. Rumble (Peggy Slothower). Major Todd (Ed Hubner) and his son Newton (Bobbie Dreibelbeis) have rented rooms at Nina Cassell’s home. Newton, who is scientific and shy, is in- terested in Eula Hulchkers (Agatha Bonnet), but her interest is hard to catch. Dr. Blodgett (Don Cullen) comes to tell the major that his son has solved the earth worm problem and Officer Ryon (Bradford Zipse) has a voice in the pro- cedi ngs that ensue. ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS .Jack Rank presented an interesting assembly program, the first in a series given by the University of Wisconsin Extension. Mr. Rank gave a one-man pro- duction of “Macbeth”, portraying all the characters. lie left the stage speaking the lines of the current character, al most immediately reentering the opposite door. Between his exit and reentrance he changed costumes and make-up and assumed the mannerisms and voice of the next character. Through the rapidity of changes and the skillful handling of characters the play moved with a pleasing effect, giv- ing us all an idea of “Macbeth”. (Continued on next page) -■ ★ Warren Hi Echoes= ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS (Continued) Robert Edgar demonstrated “The Cyclops of I’alomar.” Mr. Edgar uses n small model to explain the movements of a telescope and explains the invention of the great horse-shoe bearing in the mounting of the Palomar telescope. From him we learned a little of the study of astronomy. Wesley Flannery had many model air planes and different parts of the planes with which he showed how planes work and what makes them go. Those of us who know something about flight and those to whom flight is a mystery all gained something from Mr. Flannery’s demonstration. An unexpected speech about good citizenship proved to be one of the most in- teresting assembly programs of the year. Mr. Nelson Covy pointed out the mis- :akes of his own past and told us the results hoping to guide us by his exper- iences away from the mistakes he had made.

Warren was picked to be the leading team but finished the conference with one conference win, one tie, and two losses for the season. There was one non-conference game with Darlington where Warren per- haps had its best showing. This was the first game of the season and the warriors made a valiant fight and a good showing against the green Hanover team. Warren scored in the first period and in every period thereafter.

In the first half AVarren was within two yards of the goal line and in the second quarter within eighteen yards of the goal line when the team jumbled and the ball was recovered by Aquin. Warren 0 Aquin 7 This game was probably one of the largest upsets in the conference. Warren played on a foreign field and under the lights, scoring in the second period of the game but having toe touchdown called back be cause of a penalty. The Warren team definitely made a better showing than the Galena team. Warren 0 Galena 0 Warren’s only non-conference game was with an undefeated Darlington eleven. AVarren made its best showing against the Darlington eleven in the fourth period when we were able to score. Darlington scored one touchdown in the first quarter and two touchdowns in the second half. AVarren showed the best ball handling that it had showed since the start of the season. Warren 6 Darlington 20 The game with Stockton was a hard break for the Warren eleven. Because the elements and injuries in previous games, Warren made a rather half hearted stance against the Stockton team. Warren 0 Stockton 13 Basketball Season The warriors of W arren High School completed one of the best seasons in the history of Warrens basketball records. They finished the season with 22 wins and one defeat which came from the hands of the Freeport squad in the final game of the regional.
