Stars indicate those who started to Warren Public School in 1935 as first graders. In first grade we made a tore and furnishings for the doll house. We also played in the rhythm band. Robert Krupke moved to Apple River at the beginning of his second year in school. In second grade we were introduced to the mysteries of arithmetic and we had our school picnic in the Lutheran Church Yard. In third grade we painted paper plate, and made calenders for our parents at Christmas time. This was the first year we had a music teacher, Miss Perkins. We had the rest of our school picnics at Millville. We enjoyed makin: raffia ba kets, hot pan holders, and etter holders in the fourth grade. Also history was added to our studies. In filth grade we learned to do a group dance. We had social tudies of North and South America together instead of history and geography. As sixth grader we learned to paint on glass and carve soap. In the latter part of the year Helen Bonnet joined us. Lauran Rhyner joined u in the beginning of the seventh rade. It was also our first year to have home economics and manual training. Robert Krupke came back to us in the beginning of the eighth grade. In our last year of grade school we did panel design and free hand drawings. We also had our try at acting by putting on two plays for the rest of the school. ‘Buddy Answers an Ad ’ and “G-Man Jeff . After our graduating exercises we were ready for high school in the fall. In the fall of M3 we and a group of boys and girls from surrounding schools were ready to con- tinue our education in high school. Those that joined us were: Jane Hicks. Carler.e Kish. Donald Stich Laveme Millam. and James Waddington. Those that dropped out or moved before their senior year were: Arlin Erickson Gene Winters, Wayne Wills, Dale Kaiser, Robert Myers. Helen Gilbertson, and Du Wayne Heller. About six weeks after school started the Sophomores initiated us and gave uc a party afterwards. As Sophomores we initiated the Freshman and made them appear in court before the jury. Mari- lyn Wolfram and Gertrude Hintz joined us in our scphomore year. Joyce Pash and Marilynn Gallagher joined us at the beginning of our Junior Year. As Juniors we Save a successful mystery play entitled ‘Lights Out”. We used the rainbow and spring theme for our Junior-Senior reception having streamers over head the colors of the rainbow. In one end of the gym were a flower garden and fish pond. The band stand wras decorated to represent the clouds. The table center pieces were of spring flowers and lighted cardies. Donna Gates came from Apple River to complete her high school course with us. William Hintz joined us in the last half of our Senior year after leaving the army. Our Senior play was a comedy entitled “Cash and Carrie”. We enjoyed the reception given us by the Juniors and looked forward to our baccalaureate at the Lutheran Church and our commencement on June 2.

Canie Ferguson, mother of the family and a little vague about money matters, had quite a time trying to make the budget balance so they could have a house on Cherry Hill, a home that none of the family seemed to want. The gir.s, worried over dates, and what their brother is going to do next, become quite concerned when their mother disappears. Uncle Omar, a pompous, blustering, old man who thinks noth- ing can be done without his aid. is quite bewildered when he comes home from the State Capitol to find the house full of roomers. Everything turns out all right when Brad Kirkwood, Anne's boyfriend, buys an option on the house so Carrie and the family won t have to move THE JUNIOR PLAY The Junior Class presented “The Crazy Smith Family”, November 21-22. It wss a three-act com- edy, the story of a typical American family. Helen Eursman tJulie Weston) and Bi 1 Daters (Stewart Brandon) were continually trying to get Jim Mahoney (Tony Smith) to go to their college. Buddy Mc- Kee Buddy Smith) backed by his kid sister, Natalie Fouchard (Betty Smith) was always having fights in the family garage. Lenore Rodda (Mrs. Smith) insisted that the family was crazy, and of course the characteristic was inherited from her husband's side of the family. Kenneth Wolfram Mr. Smith) in- sists that it is the other way. Everything ends fine Jim decides to go to the University with Anne Hazen (Barbara); Carol Campbell Sally Smith) and Dick Franke (Dick Jones) fall in love, and Brace Jones (the Professor) finally establishes enough nerve to ask Mary Taft (Aunt Bella) to marry him. SPEECH CONTEST This year the speech contestants met at Rcckfcrd East High, the contestants running as follows: Origional Oration—Carol Campbell—The K. K. K; Dramatic Oration—Lenore Rodda—Freedom Is Not Enough; Verse Reading—Mary Lou Groom—Fog, Sheaves, Gold, and Tenants; Comedy Reading—Phy- lis Haffle—A Christmas Spectacle; Serious Reading—Nancy Lund—Patchwork Quilt. In the sub-district Contest at Rcckford East High Lenore Rodda won 1st in the B class. Phylis Haffle and Nancy Lund wen 2nd in B class. They also won fourth in total ratings thus giving them the right to go on to the sectional contest at Rockford West High. Joan Siedschlag also had a Serious Reading. “Ethan Frome”, but she did not go to the Contest. ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS Mr. Ellis gave the first of a series of lectures presented by the University of Wisconsin Extension. Many interesting facts about Java and its natives were told to us by him He ended his program by dressing members of. the student body in Chinese costumes and Java sarongs. Ocean Diving was the topic of our next speaker, Captain Art Hook. Mr. Hook told us of the many wonders beneath the seas. He also warned us not to aggravate an octupus. Mr. and Mrs. Mason ended the Extension course with a most interesting view on three types of wild life, snakes, monkeys, and birds. They had live exampes of all three. An added attraction for the year was Rev. Punter, a former minister of Warren. His talk on the lumber camps where he has been preaching was both engrossing and amusing. — —� —‘Idatun 30 8 c fiat A-— ——•-— JUNIOR PLAY CAST Top rcw (left to right) Miss Wilma Saunders, (director) Lenore Rhodda, James Mahoney, Merlin McKee, Natalie Fouchard, Miss Catherine Carter, (director).

Warren 13—Hanover 0- After a hard but lustrous battle Warren won their first game in the second half. Warren 0 Lanark 26 Although the team fought hard and played a good game, they were simply out-classed and out-played. Warren 7. Calena 27 Under a deluge of rain and a coat cf mud with numerous injuries for Warren, Galena succeeded in winning over the home team. Warren 0. Stockton 53 Although the traditional battle with Stockton turned scur for the War- riors, everyone present must have admired the spirit it took for Warren tc fight right back against superior foes and score to the final whistle. Warren 0—East Dubuque 14. In the best game of the year Warren was finally defeated in a battle of Mississippi mud. From the first it seemed to the spectators that East Dubuque was out-played and out-fought, but decisions and luck seemed to fall against the Warriors, and one mere defeat was added to the list. GIRLS PHYSICAL EDUCATION The girls played a basketball tournament between classes. The Seniors won the championship with the Juniors taking second place. The Sopho- more’s class beat the Freshmen, putting the Sophomores in third place and the Freshmen last. In the Volleyball tournament individual teams were chosen. The winner of the tournament was the Guinea Girls. A softball tournament is being organized which will be played in the sp ring. BOYS PHYSICAL EDUCATION The high school boys competed in many sports in gym. class this year, among which were tumbling, softball, touch football, basketball, and volley ball. Volleyball seemed to hit with the boys better than anything else. Indi- vidual volleyball teams were chosen onwhich every boy got to play. The champions were the Stompin’ Joes. ■� 'lOatKii SKi ----■� —— FOOTBALL Top row (left to right) Leland Thomasson, Gregory Holland, Kenneth Meier, Charles Whalen, Eldon Grindey, Bill Daters, Elwyn Broege, Bill Courtright.

However the season was very successful in all other respects. In giving better teams plenty of hard feught battles, in showing spectators spirit and in gaining valuable experience, the team really came through. The best game of the season was the very last at the District Tourney where Warren met Durand’s fast, and experienced team. Warren was ahead all of the way until the last quarter with the final score: 33 to 30.
