Education oAssociations The rapid) growth of teachers’ organizations has been evid3r.se in the last few years of the desire of those in the teaching profession to unite their forced toward the betterment of schools and teaching. Founded in Philadelphia in 1857 as the National leachers’ Association, the National Education Association was incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia in 1886. Now with thousands of members, many aff- iliated state and local organizations, numerous bureaus, councils, and committees, a creditable building in Washington, D. C., and a competent staff, it fulfills the purpose it set out to accomplish—dedicated to the upbuilding of democratic civilization and supported by the local cooper- ation of the teachers of the United States to advance the interests of the teaching profession, promote the welfare of children, and foster the education of all the people. National Education Week is! one of the activities fostered by the N. E. A. which can be seen by the laymen on the local level. The Illinois Education Association celebrates its centennial this year. A pageant at the annual Christmas meeting in Chicago launched the year-long observance. The ytate organization, like the N. E. A., too large to operate except through a delegate assembly, is broken into sections. Local teachers belong to the North West Division. This group also acccmp-ishss its business through its officers, standing commitees, and delegate assembly. The entire membership meets each fall at the Rockford convention. The local education association was founded in 1947 under the leader- ship of several of the Warren teachers. When Unit District No. 205 was established, the organization was enlarged to include all the teachers in the unit. Shortly after the organization of the Warren Teachers’ Association a need was felt for a county association which could give the benefits of local organizations to rural and small-school teachers who had no other opportunity to affiliate with a local organization. The county asso- ciation meets once each fall. All local tea cjhers belong to at least three of these organizations and many to all four. Some are also members of organizations in special and subject-matter fields, thus keeping up their professional status by keeping in touch with what is going on in their own fields of specialization.

Because of the organization of District No. 205, these students came from Apple River and Nora as well as Warren to start their high school careers together. Those who started were: Richard Bartell, Dorothy Bower, Verla Broege, David Burrows, Lois Ditts- worth, Nelda Doubler, Paul Freeburg, Robert Fuchs, Robert Gavigan, Franklin Gerber, Frances Gray, Patricia Heyer, Dean Hicks, 'Ronald Hicks, Lavonne Hockman, Joanne Holland, William Hume, Loren Ingram, Marcy Karclus, Lyle Koehler, Paul Lameyer, Gary Leverton, Richard Manley, Arnold McCarthy, Jack Moore, Margaret Neff, Carol Piefer, Carol Rountree, Kathryn Saunders, David Schmidt, Donna Mae Shultz, Yvonne Schultz, Jean Steigner, Ronald Strub, Mary Jane Talbert, William Thomas, Donald Toay, Robert W'atson, Doris Wear, Francis Wetzel, Betty Wickland, Juanita Williams and Bob Wing. Juanita Williams was the only one who didn’t return at the beginning of our sophomore year. However, we gained Lee Ann Johnson to maintain our original number. Then after Franklin Gerber transferred we were happy to receive Charlene Goebel and Theodore Tollackson to increase our number to forty-four at the end of that year. Tlie next year, after Sharon Wolff and Charles Blackboum had joined us on opening day, Shelbie Myers enrolled during the seconld semester. Dorothy Bower and Jack Moore moved away that year, and Lois Dittsworth didn’t re-enroll. These three along with Lyle Koehler, Yvonne Schultz, Kathryn Saunders, and Arnold McCarthy, who all dropped out, reduced our class to thirty-nine at the end of the year. Then as the final year opened we gained James Baldwin and Charlotte Seffrood but lost Charlene Goebel, LeeAnn Johnson, Joanne Holland, Paul Freeburg, Ted Tollackson, Robert Gavigan, and! David Burrows. Thus thirty-four students will graduate and be out in this vast world of ours to seek their salvation. No matter what course we take, we shall all re - member those four memorable years we shared in Warren High. 3WARCY KAROLUS Class Officer - 4 Student Council 1-3-4 Student Council Officer - 4 Girls Chorus 1-2 Mixed Chorus 3-4 Band 1-2-3-4 Band Officer - 4 Majorette 2-3-4 Music Contestant 1-2-3-4 Cheerleader 1-2-3-4 Phy Ed Club - 4 F.

Class Personals During our four years of high school we get to know each other quite thoroughly—so thoroughly in fact that often times one becomes amazed at how much his classmates know about him. For example, did you know that Loren Ingram, although a consistent reader of intellectual books, is often caught with a comic book or that Bud Watson, our class’ bid for chemical fame, likes to feed’ the hogs on his father’s farm? Oh, too, odd as it may seem, Bill Thomas, so closely affiliated to the Sentinel-Leader, likes to read the Galena Gazette just as well, and Marcy Karolus, our red-headed beauty, is now saving her pennies to buy the Columbufi Peroxide factory. I’ll bet you never realized that Mary Jane Talbert, this year’s Apple Pickers’ Queen, hates apples or that Carol Piefer and Jean Stigener can’t stand vibrations around their heads. You don’t think that’s odd, huh? Well you would if you knew that they are both solo clarinetists. Don’t try to tell me that you know Patsy Heyer, Frances Gray, Betty Wick land, Carol Rountree, Shelbie Myers, and LaVonne Hockman, think that Nora is an uneventful burg in spite of the fact that they carry poison darts with them for the benefit of anyone who makes a crack about it. I hope no one tells Bob Mammoser that Donna Shultz doesn’t like black Chevrolets, and that no one tells the Shullsburg men that Nelda Doubler thinks Wisconsin is too milky.” Don’t tell Bob Fuchs, Charlie Blackbourn, or Ronnie Strub that we told you this either, but these guys are building a new factory to make better seed corn. They figure that this corn will make stronger „ shocks, and they will not be bothered with rascals tipping theirs over anymore. The latest gossip is that Don Toay, our tall- est senior, likes short girls that never notice a majorette’s uniform. Doris Wear, on the other hand, says she doesn’t like to strut with the band but does like to get into the football games free! Foi you football fans—Bob Wing our football captain this year, is also a great tiddly-wink player. You’d never guess either that Gary Leverton is a bit self-conscious of his sparsely covered cranium and that Franny Wetzel, our professional complainer, never once complains when he’s outside of school. Defying all traditions, Ronnie Hicks and Dick Bartell have the desire to go to Chicago and be the youngest guards in the Chicago Museum of Natural History. Dean Hicks wants to go along and run the hydraulic jack that hoists the giant telescoe up in the Planitarium. Dean hates to look up in the atmosphere but loves to look at catapillars through the telescope. Both Margaret Neff and Sharon Wolff are of the slightly introvert type, but they like to play robust games like soccer. What’s that? You say they’ve got metal shins. We don’t believe it. Dave Schmidt, who rep- resents the class in the mechanics department, was also the only senior to gain any weight this rugged year. He worked in a grocery store. They tell me that Verla Broege is worried about gaining weight. She drinks plenty of malts but doesn’t gain a pound. However, she isn’t an habitual malt drinker. BiU Hume, one of our seniors from Apple River, says he likes that town but would rather not live in a suburb. He says Apple River is one of Warren’s suburbs. Disregarding the suburb idea, Chalotte Seffrood re- port® that she Ukes Warren better than Shullsburg because down here people can go into a restaurant after any type of sports without endanger- ing their physical features. And because of protests from his classmates Dick Manley has promised never to try to write again. When these thirty-four seniors graduate, they take with them many interesting personalities to help them gain success in their future lives Thus Warren High not onlv loses students but their remarkable and dis- tinctive personalities as well.

In September the band traveled to Platteville to play in the Dairy Day Parade and to Elizabeth to give a con- cert for the Home Bureau. Soon after school started, the band began preparing for the homecoming, asking Shullsburg, Gratiot, and the Warren Grades School bands to participate in the homecoming parade and in a massed band before the game. Gratiot, Platteville Teachers College, and Shullsburg invited the band to participate in their home- coming parades after our successful homecoming. When football ended, the band turned its attention to concert work, and a pep band which played at some of the basketball games was organized. At the beginning of the second semester the band started contest work in earnest, but first we put on our Annual Winter Carnival, January 26, to raise money for a new horn and for reconditionSng of the drums. The calendar for the rest of the year was as follows: March 4 - Solo and Ensemble Concert March 6 - District solo and Ensemble Contest at Dakota. April 8 - Spring Concert April 10 - District Band Concert at Dakota April 23 - County Music Festival -- Massed Band and Chorus The year’s vocal activities were Christmas caroling, contest at Dakota, and the County Festival. At the district solo and ensemble contest, hold March 6 at Dakota, the following Warren students were qdntestants: Vocal Soloists: Margaret Neff, Shirley White, Vivian Rufenacht, Audrey Brinker, Mary Lee March, Yvonne Bonjour, JameB Arrington, Bob March, Bill Thomas, Loran Ingram, Dick Gray, and Bob Wing. Those taking part in vocal ensembles were: Audrey Brinker, Shirley White, Charlene Wear, Monica Beall, Darla Sigafus, and Yvonne Bonjour. Instrumental solos were given by: Monica Beall, Bob Thomas, Bill Thomas, Charlene Wear. Darla Sigafus, Donna Grindey, Marcy Karolus, and Pat Carpenter. Instrumental ensembles were: a clarinet trio—Marcy Karolus, Dick Manley, and Bud Watson: a cornet trio-Bill Thomas, Charlene Wear, and Janette Beldin; a trombone quartet--Bob Thomas, Jim Estorf, Mary Talb?rt, and Gary Leverton; and a saxaphone quartet Darla Sigafus, Bill Cook, Donna Grindey, and Jeanne Beall.

Junior Class Play AND CAME THE SPRING, the Junior class play, directed by Mrs. Balbach and given November 12th and 13th, is the story of a young girl in love for the first time. Midge, the youngest, dismays the rest of the Hartman family with her plans to impress this young man, who happens to be in love with her oldest sister, Virginia. Through a series of mishaps. Midge causes Virginia to be suspected as a thief, and almost to lose the right boy. She disrupts her father’s business, upsets her brilliant brother Elliot’s carefully planned life, and threatens her Mother's social position. At the end of the second act the whole family comes crashing down. The whole faftiily is angry with Midge, and she is completely .bewildered. On the night of the Spring Prom--Midge’s first formal dance if she gets to go—she steps in with another plan and sets everything right. Midge gets to go to the Prom, and everybody’s happy. Senior Class Play MR. ICEBOX, the Senior class play, directed by Miss Oudyn, and given on April 8th and 9th, centers around Mr. Dodd, an accountant for The Globe, who is known as “Tightwad.” When a big kidnapping case breaks practically in his front yard, Dodd proves that he can spend money with the best of the reporters—that is, he can spend the paper’s money. Soon there are reporters all over the place trying to steal their rivals’ stories. One girl reporter Mas her clothes stolen by a rival, and has to sit around in an outsized bathrobe. Another girl pretends she has been hurt, and gains a lot of information, while shel is supposedly unconscious. The telephone wires are down, the telegraph wires are monopolized, so Dodd uses a short wave set to send in his story. Just as he is ready to send in his story, the F. B. I. latches onto the set. In the midst of all this con- fusion, the frantic mother is interviewed, and is resting in the cabin that night when the kidnapper with the little boy breaks into the cabin. The kidnapper is fiinally caught, and Dodd buys a locomotive to get his story to The Glebe and scoop all the other papers. He hias spent a lot of money, but after his vacation he goes back to being a “tightwad,” and tells the reporters they are too extravagant.

SPOPTS Football A W Aquin 19-6 Warren’s opening game of the season with Aquin proved to be exciting and opened Warren’s hopes for a full exciting season. Althougn the Warriors lost, the loss was largely due to two bad brsaks cause a oy intercepted passes which were run an the way ba.ck to touchdowns. Warrens single touchdown came on a pass to Ccok. Warren gained yards by passing in this game, 180 of which were earned by Bob cook. Two of our starting players were put out of this game, captain Bob Wing with an injured knee was put out for the duration cf the season, and quarterback Fred Duoaeh was sent to the hospital for observation. G W Galena 13-0 Although Warren was close to tne enemy goal several times, a 20 yards pass and recovored fumble in the Warren end zone gave Galena the win- ning honor. Dick Gray badly sprained his ankle,, nutting him out of several of the following games. S W Stockton 25-2 Stockton’s running attack and aerial defense stepped Warren cold. Warren’s chief attack, the air, was bottled up, most of the passes being intercepted and their ceiense could not stop tne charging stoctcton bac.ts. Warren scored their two points on a safety. W ED East Dubuque 7-6 Warren’s offense was much tougher than the score tells. The Warriors were knocking at the East Dubuque door several times but couldn’t seem to penetrate the final block after their first touchdown on a pass to Bob Cook. With minutes to go in the first quarter East Dubuque had the ball on the Warren 4 yard line with 4 downs in which to score a second touch- down, but stalwart Warren defense held, taking away East Dubuque’s only other chance for scoring in the game. This being Warren’s homecoming the game was thrilling and hard fought. It was the first homecoming game Warren had won in three years. s w Shullsburg 20-6 Unable to stop Shullsburg’s speedy back, Kenny Townsend, the Warriors bowed out at 20-6 decision. Dick Mau scored the Warrior’s single touchdown by a line plunge from the Shullsburg three yard line. Neither team was able to gain consistently on the ground, but Shullsburg found holes three times in the Warren line which opened into touchdown run. Statistics showed that Shullsburg doubled Warren’s gain by rushing a- d Warren doubled Shullsburg’s gain by passing. The Shullsburg game was probably the Warriors hardest fought game. Saint Columbskille ..32 - 0 Warren’s biggest defeat of the season came from the St. Columbskille gridders, conference champions for the 1953 season. The Warriors were trampled in the first half, St. Columbskille scoring 25 of their points. In the second half Warren made a desperate bid to get back in the game but were unable to penetrate the strong defense of the Co-Dukes. At the same time they held St. Cclumbskille scoreless until the last seconds of the game when they broke over for the final touchdown.

They started the season by dropping a hot contest to Lena 53 - 44. After whipping Scales Mound and East Dubuque, the Warriors ran up against Stockton, suffering their second defeat of the season. Following a defeat at the hands of Elizabeth, the Warriors came back to win their next three games. The outstanding games were the ones we won plus the Winslow game (over-time loss) and the Elizabeth return game. Probably the hardest fought game of the year for the Warriors was this return game. The Warriors were beaten 71 - 67 after coming close to tying the score in the closing minutes of the game. Another exciting game was the protested1 East Dubuque return game, which saw the Warriors go d;wn to defeat 45 - 44. The freshmen-sophmore team finished the season with 10 wins and 6 losses.
