The local associa- tion is represented by delegates in the general assembly of the northwestern division of the I. E. A. and in the state-wide organization. The northwest division is also represented by delegates a-t the annual meeting of the National Education Association, such delegaates, of course, being members of the national organization. This year the local association of Unit District 205 has twenty-six members in the National Education Association, including two life members. All grade schools in the Unit have 100'' N. E .A. member- ship. These organizations work on every level, not only for teacher welfare, but for the public welfare and for tihe advancement of education as a whole. Teachers find membership in their professional organizations both chafilenging and rewarding. This year the local organization is under the leadership of Miss Elizabeth Thomas, Warren grade-school teacher, as president; Frank Kennedy, Apple Rivei principal, vice-president; Edith Groom of Warren High School, secretary: and Jack Trevethan, Nora grade school, treasurer. The sponsorship of F. T. A. chapters by the education association furnishes a tie between teachers and high school pupils interested in teaching. Another link is the sponsoring of a square dance in each school of the unit. Page 11 M. GENE LEE Wisconsin State College at LaCrosse, Wisconsin B. S. Phy. Ed. - General Science - Coach MRS.

Most of the forty- six graduates stayed to the get-acquainted party afterwards which was sponsored by our mothers. Ardis Herrig was the only graduate who didn’t enroll as a freshman The graduates were: Donald Arnold, Monica Beall. Elsie Beaston, Velma Boelk, Karen Bondele, Jerold Burmeister, Carol Busch, Patricia Carpenter, William Cock, Delores Dettwiler, Judith Downs, Jeanette Durstein, Alvin Durward, James Freeburg, Allan Gollmer. Monte Grebner, Donna Grindtey, Jon Gundry, Donald Hawes, Roger Hicks. Gerald Holm, Robert Logemann, Donald Luy, Virgil Martin, Dorothy Mau, Lee Meier, Sandra Nelson, James Opie, Norman Rowe, Marion Schultz, Beverly Sigafus, Darla Sigafus, Virginia Sigafus, Loran Steigner, Helen Sullivan, Robert Thomas, Charlene Wear, Shirley White, Alvin Whitman, Sandra Wilcox, Verneal Williams, Janet Wills, Jean Winslow,Robert Wire, and James Wolfram William Grindey, Dorothy Mead and Audrey Mau, all graduates of Wis- consin grade schools, enrolled along with Lloyd Busch, Kenneth Coad, John Marks, and Geroid Robson. The sophomores initiated us during the first month of school, with various stunts as having us dress outlandishly, run around the school several times, and eat spagetti from an enormous spoon. The freshman- sophomore party, given by us, was a great success. At t he end of the semester we lost Lloyd Busch a$rd Jean Winslow. When we enrolled the following year, Elsie Beaston, Jim Freeburg, John Marks, and Jerry Robson didn’t return. We had the privilege of initiating the freshman this year. We even made several of them scrub the sidewalk with toothbrushes and ice cubes! Shortly after school started, Alvin Durward withdrew because of an operation on his hip, returning in the spring to finish the year with us. During his recuperation he was tutored by several of our teachers. At the end cf the first semester we again lost twro members—Kenneth Coad and Dorothy Mead. That year several of our class formed a small dance band and played for one or two school dances. As juniors we lost Velma Boelk, Donald Luy, Beverly Sigafus, Virginia r.igafus, and Robert Wire at the beginning of the year and James Wolfram shortly afterward. At the beginning of the second semester we gained two “new” members, however, -Virginia and Beverley Sigafus. The Junior-Senior hunt which we lost, was a big event held early in the year. Ihe seniors hid in a box-car. Another big event was our junior class play, “Headin’ fer a Weddin’,” which had a hill billy atmosphere. Things were rather quiet until the junior prom, which centered around a Hawaiian theme. Our mother prepared the delicious swiss steak, the juniors, seniors and faculty ate at the banquet. The court consisted of Jim Opie, king; Karen Bondele, queen; and Carol Busch, Sandra Nelson, Judy Downs, Charlene Wear, Bill Grindey, Roger Hicks, Don Hawes, and Bob Thomas as the attendants.

Assembly Programs On September 19th, 1955, Mr. Elmer Marshall, a make-up artist pre- sented our first assembly program of the year. On Oct. 28, 1955, Dr. Otto Schocht, who was alccompanied by his wife on the piano, lectured and sang some selections for the student body.

LIBRARY STAFF Our library siaff consists of junior and senior girls, except for one sophomore helper, Judy Hockmann. We all feel that a junior or senior girl is more ready to be of help to the rest of the student body. We all have a library unit in English, and after this we feel that one can better qualify for a school librarian. Our library staff consists of the following girls: Seniors: Helen Sullivan Marion Schultz, Donna Grindey, Audrey Mau, Deloris Dettwiler, Shirley White, Pat Carpenter, Karen Bondele, and Dorothy Bower. Juniors are: Jca,nn Westaby, Shirley Thompson, Janet Brown, Marita Korte, and Char- lotte Pax. Our supervisor is Mrs. McGinnis. We all try to keep our jobs done and to keep our shelves neat and ready for use. Some of onr most important jobs are checking shelves weekly, mending and repairing books and keeping a neat and attractive bulletin board. We also take care of the charging desk, and we keep a record of all fines. We have to keep our magazines in order and put away. We all work together to run our small library, on a large scale. We net only earn library work, but we learn how to heip other people. Of course, just a group of girls couldn’t run a library unit alone, so the most credit goes to our sponsor, Mrs. McGinnis. She has to put a lot of time and work into the library, and the whole student body owes her a great tribute. STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council had a successful year during 1955-56. The Council sponsored three assembly programs, March of Dimes Collection, a Christmas Party, one dance alter a basketball game, and the big home- coming program. We earned money for some of these activities by selling refreshmerJ s at all of the football games and a few of the basketball clunes. Under the guidance of Mr. Lago the Student Council has tried to fellow the tradition of years before.

Mr. McMenamin directed the stage management. Mr. Garri- son, the class advisor, helped with the business side of the production. The play tells the stcry of how the parents, Terry Ingram and Lillian Tessmer, were overly protective. Lillian wanted to be a social climber. The children finally persuaded them to take a trip, leaving the maid, Dalphie, who was played by Yvonne Bonjour, and Kay Hayes, the oldest daughter, in com- mand. Dalphie became ill and went to her sister’s home, leaving the fam- ily alone with Hope (Kay) in charge. Mary (Barbara Spore) was left to do almost anything she wanted to do. Bob (John Wachlin) was always com- plaining about his shirts and pants not being ironed. Hope could not take care of everything around the house by herself. Nothing went well while the parents were away. Dick, a medical student, was played by Pete Sincox. When he came home from school he had eloped with Jennie (Mar- ita Korte). When the parents returned home, they found the children had assumed responsibility quite well. Hope’s broken love affair with a lawyer had been mended, and things turned out well for everybody concerned. Shirley Thompson was a faithful prompter. The stage crew and other committees carried through their as ’ nments well. SENIOR CLASS PLAY TURN BACK THE CLOCK, the senior class play, directed by Miss Groom was given February 23-24. The characters were picked to play the part they really fitted. The play takes place in the age oi the Charleston, the yellow slicker, jazz and painted jalopies. The story revolves around a recent high school graduate, Evie Palmer, played by Sandra Nelson, and her two boy friends, Charlie, played by Bob Thomas and Jonnie Stone, play ed by Jon Gundry. A prologue in which Evie and Charlie are sitting as hus- band and wife, starts recalling when they were young and introduces the first scene which “turns back the clock” to 1928. At that time Evie’s par- ents, played by Charlene Wear and Bill Grlndey, were fretting about the younger generation of their day. Evie manages to tell her parents that she Is a grown person and has a right to lead her own life. Evie has a hard time choosing her mate but ends up by selecting Charlie as her husband. The problems of the rest of the cast resolve happily for almost everybody concerned. The audience is kept in the dark concerning Evie’s choice of husband until the epilogue, which flashes back to the present, when Evie and Charlie are again the middleaged parents as they are in the prologue. Members of the cast worked nard to make the play a success. Shirley White and her helper, Helen Sullivan, were faithful prompters. Mr. Wayne La.go guided Norman Rowe and hi stage committee in building the sets. Monica Beall took charge of the music. Program, advertising, tickets, and house committees did their parts, too Page 51 JUNIOR CLASS PLAY Bottom row: Jim Arrington ( Bob Opie, John Wachlin, Donald Doubler.

Page 52 CHEER LEADING The cheerleaders have had loads of fun leading the spectators in yells. We have had the misiortune of losing one girl from each squad. Marjorie Nelson cracked her ankle during the last part of the season. We all attended a cheerleaders clinic in Elizabeth in December. The cheerleaders all learned something more about cheering. Miss Myers, the instructor at the clinic, told us different things about cheer- leading. She was a cheerleader in college. This fact influenced her views on different types of cheering. We took notes a|pd tried to go by them when we practiced at home. We changed our old yells and devel- oped new ones. We also used some chants which fitted into some of the pep-band numbers. Mrs. Geach was cur sponsor and helped make our pep meetings more of a success. G A A Thirty three members cf G. A. A. play on Monday or Wednesday noon. In the fall of the year six girls went to a playday at Stockton. In the spring we will attend another playday. The club plans to send two juniors to camp at Lake Geneva, the first part of June. To raise money for this project we have had three candv sales. We are to have a Sadie Hawkins Dance MaJrch second and a souare dance March twenty-fourth. Mrs. Bourquin, our club advisor, has done much to keep the club a success CLASS HISTORY Continued from page 17 At the beginning cf our senior year we lost Don Arnold. Before the end of the semester Janet Wills, Loran Steigner and Judy Downs left our role. Our senior pictures were taken in October by the Blankenberg Studio in Freeport. During these four short years there were several cla«s mates who enolled here even though they had to pay tuition because they lived in Wisconsin. These were: Bill Grindey. Jerry Holm, Dorothy Mau, and Jim Opie. Fifteen of us have participated in band, and several of these have attained honors at “contest.” When we were juniors, one of us, Monica Beall, went to state contest with a tuba solo and was awarded a superior rating. Since we entered high school here, eighteen of our names have ap- peared cn the honor roll at least one time. Of the graduates eight entered kindergarten here, and have spent their thirteen school years together. We have followed tradition by choosing class colors, black and white; flower, the white carnation, and motto, “Make the most of life and make the best of it.” As we part the day of graduation we realize that we mav never be together again and hope that our motto will worthily serve us throughout life.

Although they were on the losing end the Warriors also had their good times. The first game of the season was lost to SCaJes Mound in a close contest. The Warriors lost their next three games, but then came up with a win over Gratiot. From then on the story was the safne, with Warren having its good nights and bad ones, but always losing. Before midseason the the Warriors lost their team captain, centc-r, and high scorer to that point, Bob Logemann, because of a knee injury. Don Gates, a sophomore, filled Bob’s shoes and pulled through well. The team had three senioijs, Virgil Martin, Bob Thomas, and Bill Cook. Cook played guard throughout the season, but also filled in as forward. He got off to a slow .start but finished with a good record. Virgil Martin led the Warren attack by scoring the most points this season. This was Virgil’s first year out for basketball. Johnny Wachlin was second high. Bob Thomas had the highest free throw percentage, with 63 per cent, and .he highest field goal percentage was 37 per cent. Virgil Martin was second high for free throw percentage, and Bill Cook second high for field goal percentage. Some of the boys who deserve recognition ate the sub- stitutes on the varsity, Harry Friedli, Russell Logemann, Glen Geilenfeldt, Bill Holland, and Jack Smith. This season wasn’t one to be proud of, but it is one that won’t be for- gotten by some people. We hope that next year the boys will improve this record and majce it one Warren will be proud of. BASEBALL Warren’s 1955 baseball team finished the season with a record of one win and seven losses. The Warrior’s lone win came in the district tourna- ment against Winslow; Bob Thomas was the winning pitcher in relief. Many of the Warriors’ difficulties may be traced to inexperience. There were only four lettermen on last year’s squad. The Warriors had no exper- ience at either end of the battery. Several games were lost by mistakes in late innings that experienced players would not have made. Averages of 455, 375, and 346 were pasted by Harwick, Logemann, and Thomas respectively. Thomas and Logemann are returning lettermen along with captain Jack Smith. The baseball team is to be coached by James Koehn this season.

Pace (12 FOOTBALL Shullsburg 31 — Warren 0 Warren’s oDenine same of t.he season with Shullsburg wais our first conference game and cur homecoming The Warriors lost the game, but the defeat can be chalked up to inexperience and the lack of players. Dakota 0 — Warren 13 Although Warren dropped the opening game they made up for it tue following week by beating Dakota 13-0. Rennie Piefer made the first TD, and John Wachlin added an extra point. The second touchdown came iauj in the third quarter when Bob Thomas punched off right tackle for the score. Galena 43 — Warren 7 Alter beating Dakota, the Warriors were set back by Galena at Galena’s homecoming. Warren proved weafe around the ends, and Galena took ad- vantage of the fact. Warren’s onij score came in the last quarter when Jack Smith connected with Harry Friedli on a pa.:s. Thomas added the ex.ra point. Stockton 52 — Warren 0 At this point in the season Warren was minus several of their starting players. Ine game proved to be all Stockton’s. Warren got off to a poor start and couldn’t pull out of the slump E. Dubuque 85 — Warren 6 The game with E. Dubuque was Warren’s worst defeat in years. The East Dubuque squad completely controlled the game and seemed to con- centrate mainly on score. Several boys were put out for the season in this game, and they’ll surely remember this next year. Warren’s only score came in the last period when Thomas went through the line and ran sixty yaids for the touchdown. The extra point attempt failed. This game will always be remembered and should be an inspiration to future Warren teams to avenge this deleat. St. Columbkille - 33 Warren - 0 Probably the most fun of any during tne season was the game at Dubuque with tit. Columbkille. History rather repeated itself in this game. In the lirst half St. Columbkille racked up all the score but one touchdown which they added in the last quarter. The same had happened in 1954. This was probably the wettest and muddiest game any Warren team has ever played. Despite the score, the botys made a good showing in the second half by playing good deiensive and offensive ball. Aquin 19 — Warren G This was almost the most important game of the season, and it was anticipated by afll. Aquin had won no conference games, and neither had the Warriors. The first half of th e game was hard fought with neither team scoring. Warren was at one time in position for a score but was unable to push over. In the second half Warren was caught sleeping and never regained control of the game. Warren’s only score came when Thcma.s intercepted a pass and ran seventy yards for a touchdown. The extra point failed. Despite a dismal season, several individuals on the squad received hon- ors. Captain Bob Thomas was placed on the all-conference team, by a vote of opposing coaches, and Keith Sincox received honorable mention. Bob Thomas will also have his name insc ribed on a plaque as a result of mak- ing the most tackles. This plaque was presented to the school last year by the Lion’s Club. Because of the number of returning lettermen much is expected of the 1956 edition of the Warriors.
