On the first of July it was made known that the citizens had voted in favor of a Community Unit District School. The school board was chosen with Robert Hubner as president, William Litts as secretary. The remaining members are as follows: Gordon Beall, Waltressa Bur- rows, Gerald Doubler, Sadie Waddington, and Robert Wing. It was decided that the district high school should be in Warren, and provis- ions were made for school busses with which to provide transportation for the out. of town students. The chosen drivers of these busses were: Leslie Grindey, Levernc Long and Herman Krippendorf. The school also contracted for a bus and a jeep from Verrill Sigafus and his father, Arthur Sigafus. It was also decided that the district as a whole was to be known as Community Unit School District 205, with the individual schools within the district retaining their original names such as Warren High School, Apple River Elementary, and Nora Elementary. Mr. Kent Austin, a graduate of Whitewater Normal, with a M. S. from the University of Wisconsin, was named superintendent of the unit. Mr. Wilson of Apple River, and Mr. Taft of Warren were elected principles of the schools. Georgianna Grocm was chosen by popular vote of the high school class officers and teachers, as school treasurer, to handle all student activity funds. A Student Council was installed later in the year with senators and representa- tives from each class meeting and discussing the problems of the high school. The Council itself consists of Gene Holland - president, Robert Fouchard - vice presi- dent. Jeannine Hess - secretary. Duane Wolfram - treasurer, and Bill Courtright. George Yeager, Katherine Holland, Robert Mammoser, Robert Gallagher, ana Donna Cook. v rftuS sOrsQsGz aSaiai ri£ ai as aiwsMKS£alMa£ al aSiiaiaSaSaSat aiaS a: nag - 7 atte t 'ftyi £c£oe y - Mr. Kent Austin Whitewater State Teachers - B.E.D.

This group contained students from various rural schools and Nora. They were: Mary Barker, Jcyce Beyer, Bill Courtright, Virginia Durward, Jim Gale, Elder. Grindey, Georgianna Groom, Deloris Kent, Eldena Kent, Robert Krippendorf Jeann ne Kuhleman. Jean Lameyer. Phillis Luy, Beverly March, Charles Neff, Anna Mae Flautz, Donald Saunders, Leone Wetzel, Shirley Wingert, Donna Wolfram and Jack Newman. As freshmen we were initiated in to the mysterious rites of high school. The next year in September we were sorry to lese Jack Newman, but we were happy at the gain of two new students, Gene Holland and Jack McCoy. During this term we learned what fun it is to initiate the incoming students and attend re- turn parties. At the beginning of our junior year we were sad at the loss of Shirley Wingert. Eldon Grinday, Virginia Durward and Jack McCoy. Our class number went up when Friscilla Anschutz, Barbara Craig, Leland Spragle and Carol Yeager, all from Apple River, joined us. During the course of this year Jean Lameyer and Phyllis Luy dropped out. Our third year was one of many important events. We took part in the annual junior-senior hunt, in which we defeated the upper-classmen. The biggest thrill of all came when we received our class rings. Of course, now it was our turn to be hests at the senior prom and banquet. We filed this role with much hard work and detailed planning. At last we are seniors! Leland Spragle left us this year to go on to the Univer- sity of Illinois, and at the semester Wilbam Anding joined us. This year we were victors in the Jr.-Sr. hunt. Naturally, we were very happy when we were measured for caps and gowns, had our senior pictures taken, and ordered our announcements and cards, chose our class colors—maroon and white, our flower—the white rose and our motto “Education is the Apprenticeship of Life.” Some of us will be happy to leave W. H. S„ but then again, for some others graduation will be but the ending of four wonderful years.

Although Warren was beaten by Stockton in the afternoon, the evening was never- theless a success. Students frcm Stockton. Gratiot, Scales Mound and South Wayne were welcomed into the brightly decorated gym. At the height of the evening’s gayety Donna Wolfram was crowned homecoming queen by Duane Wolfram, who substituted for James Gale, captain of the football team. The annual Junior-Senior hunt wi- : held a month later. As usual the seniors re- mained unbeaten, and as the unwritten rule states “the defeated have to throw a party for the victors. In December a meeting of the class officers was called by Mr. Austin. At this meeting it was decided that at the basketball games refreshments be sold, the re- turns from which were to go into the student fund. The class officers initiated the idea, and later on the individual class groups took their turns. Seventy-nine dollars and fifty-one cents was taken in all together. Later in the month the initiation of the freshmen was held. The upper class- men enjoyed immensely seeing th frosh come to school in their strange costumes The Fresh-Soph party in connection with this custom was held on the 3rd of March. The seniors enjoyed two trips during the term, the first of which was to Du- buque to see the screen production ol “Humlet.” This came at an opportune time, as the class was studying Shakespeare ju t then. The second trip was to Platteville, Ahere seniors heard a lecture by Jesse Stuart, the famed author. Mr. Stuart gave a very personal and entertaining talk whi.h most of the seniors took quite seriously. It made them think somewhat of Ameri;an youth’s great heritage and future. Dancing classes were started on the 2 7th of March, under the direction of vari- cus members of the faculty, assisted by the student council, the purpose of these being to prepare the students for the Jun.or and Senior prom. The Lions Club sponsored an athle:ic banquet on the 11th of April for all the lettermen and cheer leaders of the high school. The public was invited, and the bard members served. Dolph Stanley, coash at Beloit College, was guest speaker, and Mr. Austin was honored as toast master. May 11th and 12th were the dates for the Junior and Senior banquet and piom Gus Fuhrman and his. orchestra from Dubuque provided the music. The junior mothers prepared the lovely meal, and the under classmen served. Spring events climaxed by baccalaureate and commencement brought the school year to a close. .y-Trysrr.-srrsrr 20 3 22820 JO232O20£ - barren “tty6 ScAo i - CLASS PROPHECY Beverly March I received an invitation from my old friend Donald Saunders (you know, the Wall Street broker) the other day to spend a week-end in his home in New York, so of course I accepted. On boarding the plane I thought I saw a face I recognized, and, sure enough, it was Robert Krippendorf, the famous Hollywood talent scout. I remember Bobby when he was just a freshman in high school. Along with him was a cute little piece of talent he had just found in a small Illinois town. Apple River, I think he said, was the name of the place. He told me that the girl’s name wa- Carol Jean Yeager and that he was gjing to give her a screen test immediately It seems that she is to play the lead role in his new production, “The Wife of Frank- enstein.” Donald and charming wife, Donna, his high school sweetheart, who were chauf- feured to the station in their new ’55 Cadillac by their extraordinary driver, Joyce Beyer, met me at the airport and welcomed me to their palatial mansion on lark Avenue. I he evening’s entertainment was nr turally opened by musical comedy. I had to go, of course, because two of my old school cnums were to star in the new smash hit, “West Atlantic.” You knew whom I’m talking about, of course, Eldena Kent end Charles Neff. That Charles is really terrific when he sings, “Some Enchanted Morning.” After the show we had to see some of New York’s night life, so we went direct- ly to JIMMIES, the Hot Spot of New York. I had yet to learn that this was the same little Jimmie Gale I had graduated with. Another surprise assailed me when the iloor show began. An Adagio dance u-am under the billing of ANDING KUHLE- MAN performed and everyone enjoyed their dance. Mary Barker sang the new torch song, “New I’m All Alone” or Dadcy Tcok The Kids To A Movie.” On the way home a very strange thing happened. A well dressed woman (who I found out later was P. L. Anschutz M. D. B.S. B.A.) was down on her hands and knees apparently searching for somethin- on the street. We stormed and asked her what was the matter. It seems that she hi d lost a string of pearls. You know she’s (he one who made a million on a gadget mar will curl your hair in five second� ilat. She seemed quite distracted, so we told her to jump in our car, and we would take her down to the police station to re ort the less. And who do you think is the Chisf of Folice in New York? Gene Holland, the old Warren High bad bey! Oh. well you never can tell how they will turn out. We took P. L. heme then and went home ourselves to sleep what was left of the night. The next day Donald and his wife took me to the Stork Club for lunch. We were really flattered when the head waiter was sent to wait on us. The strangest part of it was that he was a woman, and her name was Beverly March. Why even a coun- try bry like me has heard of Beverly March, the connrseur of line foods. We were very lucky that afternoon to get tickets to the Athletic Meet at Madi- son square Garden. It pleased me to see th it Anna Mae Flatz, originally of Warren liLnois, placed lirst in track and javelin throwing. And also to see Deloris Kent perform beautifully in the water ballet. That evening we made a special trip to the Mocambo to hear Bill Courtright and h's band of the year. Before I came home the next day I e -eciallv wanted to visit New Ycrk Uni- versity, where my good friend Barbara C raig is Dean of Women. On driving into the campus we noticed a mob of students gathered around a crude stand, fis we came nearer we could hear them chanting, and then we realized! It was a revival led by the famous woman minister, Georg’nnna Groom. We talked for a wh.le to Mi -s Craig, who was quite disturbed over the whole thing, as the students hadn’t attended classes for five days, and then made a fast trip to the airport to catch the feur o’clock plane. I bade my host a-ri h ss-ss a hasty good-bve and boarded just in time Tn a f ' mantes I war on r y way back to peaceful Chicago after a very interesting week-end. iHJ. !£5 ’-n- ST5 m g ?SME0y?583 - Barrett 'rtyi £c oe - INNOVATIONS OF 1949-50 The new school busses proved quite an advantage throughout the last school year. Numerous field trips were taken by various classes to places of interest. Mr. Merlin Gerretson’s agriculture class visited many places in connection with their studies, Kraft Cheese Company in Stocktcn, a modern dairy barn at the Charles Vanderheyden farm at Stockton, different local farms to study the mech- anical corn picker, a DeKalb corn test plot, and the DeKalb Hybred Corn Plant in Warren. Mr. Gerretson also accompanied the freshmen to Rockford, where they learned how a large city secures and purifies water, operates modern methods of garbage and sewage disposal. The Civics and Economics class under Mr. Donald Schmitz visited the W. T. Rawleigh Plant in Freeport, where they we.e shown through the various departments, each specializing in some one product. Th s class also visited the Dubuque Packing Company in Dubuque, Iowa. The workers here took the class on an extended tour through the buildings. Mr. Joseph Rushforth and Miss Esther Siemen took their Industrial Arts and Home-making classes to the Weiman Furniture Factory in Rockford, Illinois. Here the students acquired a better understand.ng of the methods and techniques -u making fine furniture. Because the hour of Major Activity in a Newspaper Plant made travel by bus impossible. Miss Groom took the Sophomore English Class in private cars to visit the Rockford Morning Star and Evening Register, where they saw the machines and processes involved in the publication of a daily paper. Groups from grade schools in the dis.rict also enjoyed field trips. Special men- tion here should be given the bus drivers: Leslie Grindey, LeVerne Long, and Her- man Krippendorf. who were kind enough to drive the busses on these field trips. Audio-Visual-Aids also came into bc-:ng this year with the purchase of a new movie projector. Mr. Merlin Gerretson as.umed charge of this program, seeing that movies get not only to the high school but also to the rural schools and the gradss. The movie projector itself is anotve; addition to the wire recorder and phono- graph which have been a part of the schol’s audio-visual program for a number cf years. Much entertainment was provided by the movies, along with many fine educa- tional opportunities offered in the class rjems for individual studies. Along with the “new” things in our schcol came the “Tom-Tom”, our school newspaper, edited and distributed by the Civics and Economics classes under the supervision of Mr. Donald Schmitz, with Joan Slcthower as editor-in-chief and Miss Eleanor Grot kin as director cf typ ng and make-up. 7 77 v 7 7 7 77 u ffj! ildu ’7' ,7 7, i7 7 i f 7 7 v7i i7' v .7 7 77 7.77 7S7 Tr yCle2f53520r20t553535 33 552553 — 24 GSl'lCtt C OC4 — !55555Z5=555555-20-'-55 55 55 35 JUNIOR CLASS Rack rcw—Darlene Sigafus, Joan McCoy, David McWcrthy, Paul -Haffele, Larry Busch, Richard Endress, Betty Schultz, Betty Jean Spragle, Catherine Brickner.

Our main project this year was to earn money to buy uniforms for the band. One of our big sources of income was the carnival the band put on February 4. By a great deal of patience and hard work we have succeeded in getting uniforms. Six people had the opportunity to participate in the Illinois All-State Music Festival at the University of Illinois, Champaign, Illinois, which was held in Novem- ber. Charles Bourquin, bass, and Priscilla Anschutz, clarinet, played in the All-State Blue Band. Eldena Kent, bass, and Joan Slothower, drums, played in the All-State Red Band. Joan McCoy alto, and Barbara Beecher, alto sang in the All-State Chorus. The band played for the band mothers, at a meeting in January. The efforts of this organization in helping to buy the uniforms are appreciated. Our school participated in the Distric'; Music Tournament which was held at Hanover, Illinois March 25. The entries consisted of two brass sextettes., clarinet trio, saxophone quartet, cornet trio, and two mstrumental solos which follow respective- ly: (1) brass sextette Junior Yeager, bass.

SENIOR PLAY_______TISH Tit'll (Barbara Craig), an outspoken sinister, informs her two boon compan- ions Lizzie (Eldena Kent) and Aggie (Ge.rgianna Groom) that she is determined to get close to nature. Before they begin t.ieir venture Lizz.e informs Tish’s nephew, Charlie Sands (Gene Holland). Charlie finds them near the Mexican border in a hotel managed by Ellen Le ghton (Priscilla Anschutz). Events move fast. The hotel safe is looted and in the process of her search for the criminal, Tish takes off in Charlie’s plane. She becomes the subject of international complications. Whether she is looking for Aggie’s tee.h or straightening out a romance, Tish gets everybody into and out of one difticulty after another. JUNIOR PLAY A DATE WITH JUDY Judy Fester (Mary Lou Courtright) determines to raise a large sum of mont; for the Community Relief Drive so that she may become the winner and thus the queen of the school dance. She decides to enter her parents names in some money making contests. The results are disasterous when Mr. Fester (Bill Zeigle) wins a “kissable lips” contest and when Mrs. Foster (Joan Slothower) supposedly writes a prize story en- ti.led ‘T Am A Bigamist.” Life reaches trag c proportions when Mrs. Fostei is asked to resign from the P. T. A. and Oogie (Duane Wolfram) tells Judy that he is tired of waiting for her acceptance and has asked Tootsie Whitman to the dance Matters become untangled before the evening is over, however, for Judy goes to the dance with Oogie----and believe it orr.ot, she is crowned the Queen. ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS Three University of Wisconsin Programs were presented to us this year. On October 31 Donald Scott-Morrisci, an interesting pianist, presented a Con- versational Concert in which he used bo h the harpsichoid and the piano. As hs presented the werks of the great masters of music he impersonated them by the use of make-up and authentic costume. Hs entertainment was a concert, lecture and good show rolled into one. On December 2 the Polomeme Potter' gave an unique and graphic demonstra- tion of clay on the Potter’s wheel. The.- presented us (he history of vase building, the technique of the potter’s wheel and the magic of the responding clay on the swiitly wh rling wheel.

All of Aquio’s TDs came in the second quarter. Our next tilt was a night aifair at Mt. Carroll. A blocked punt resulted in a sud- den enemy counter in the first period. From then on, the bigger foe scored at will with the final score 33-0. Our first heme stand against Winslow started off with Gale’s returning the opening kick-off on a reverse. From then on everyone played well and helped to pile up a margin of 38-0 at the final gun. Galena’s homecoming under the lights was the next contest. A long gain by Yeager and a fifteen yard penalty put thj Warricrs on Galena’s, one yard line at, the end of the tnird quarter. But severai quarterback sneaks failed to score, and Galena’s first half margin held to win by 13-0. The next date was Warren’s homecomng against the Stockton Blackhawks. Stockton’s bigger line and hard charging backs proved too much however, and War- ren lest 35-0. In the last home game with East Dubuque, Warren was never in the contest until the final minutes. With Yeager and Haffele carrying, the home team tallied in the final quarter when Haffele plunged over. East Dubuque led at the finish 33-7. Warren hit the road for the final to visit Winslow for their homecoming. Winslow scored first cn a penalty and a plunge. But Warren roared back to spoil the festive occasion with several players taking part in the scoring. The result was 44-6 in favor of the visitors. The r-ccring was handled by the fol owing boys: Jim Gale had five touch- downs, Paul Haffele made three, George Yeager got two, and Mammoser, Holland 2nd Jenkins had one each. Three extra points were kicked by Bill Courtright, and Bcbby Mammcser carried the ball over for two more. Tlie ’49 lineup read as follows: ends, Gene Holland and Bob Krippendorf; tackles, Duane Wolfram and Bill Courtright; guards, Bill Zeigle and Dalvin Heller, center, Gene Olthoff; halfbacks, Paul Haifele, and Captain Jim Gale.

The reason got off to a rather low start, but the team con- tinued to improve to finish with a lot of thrills. One high point was a three garni winning streak late in the season which h ;lped elevate Warren from the cellar in the Grant Conference. The Warriors also contributed to the suspense of the Lena District by upsetting Pecatonica and near y stopping Elizabeth. Jim Gale, senior guard, will be the only loss to this quin.et.
