1950 CHE QUA ME G ON WASHBURN HIGH SCHOOL EDITOR ASST. EDITOR BUS. HAN. Lorraine Oberts Ruth Summerfield John Anderson WASHBURN HICM school “Paradise Regained!” This title of Milton’s famous poem echoed on the lips of 171 eager, happy students as they marched into their new, modern high school on the first day of May. As the students entered the portals of the two-story, 62 by 105 foot structure, many memories must have filled their minds, a few sad memories, but many happy ones. Memories such as the long uphill grind to old Walker High School have almost been forgotten now. But most of us can remember the fire on February 5, 1947 in which the beloved old “Castle” was completely de- stroyed. Undoubtedly, the thought of leaving the temporary high school, the DuPont Club, was a happy one. For although Washburn owes a deep debt of gratitude to the DuPont Company, not only for the use of its club rooms as a high school but also for its help in procuring the new school, nevertheless, the “club” was poorly lighted, poorly ventilat- ed, and lacking in space. In contrast, our new school is brightly decorated in a brilliant new- color scheme, is heated amply by the grade school heating plant, and has more than enough space to provide for classes. Additions to the form- er curriculum will be added: home economics and manual training pro- grams, w'hich will be held on the first floor, which also has a band room, two practice rooms, a mathematics room, and a commercial room. The second floor houses the laboratory, science recitation room, social stud- ies room, study hall, library and offices. Many students had almost given up the idea of Washburn ever having a new and permanent high school, but upon seeing and attending such a fine, up-to-date school, we all agree that it was worth our waiting. CONTENTS «F ACULTY «CLASSES «ACTIVITIES «SPO RTS «LITERARY «A DS It is my greatest wish that the mem- bers of Washburn High School enjoy this issue of the Chequamegon today and in future days. I wish to thank everyone who has helped to make this annual com- plete, especially Miss Lowe, and Mr. La Due for the help they contributed. THE EDITOR To Mr. Lionel Le Gault, whose easy-going man- ner and lively humor have made him many a friend among the student body, we, the 1950 Chequamegon staff, dedicate this issue of our annual.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On September 23, 1946 we entered Walker High as Freshmen. To lead us through our most trying year, we elected Thomas Anderson as President. Our class advisor was Miss Finley. On February 5th, the school burned and we resumed classes at the DuPont club. To lead us through our second year we elected Phyllis Newman president. Our class advisor w as Mr. La Due. Our junior year was indeed a busy year for all of us who took part in the banquet and prom. Our class officers were: Thomas Ander- son, President; John Rodkewich, Vice-president; LaVern Ledin, Secre- tary ; Lorraine Oberts, Treasurer. Class advisors were Mr. Chappa and Mr. LeGauIt. “Salute The Past and Challenge The Future,” is the motto of the class of 1950. Our class colors are blue and silver. Our flower is the American Beauty Rose. Our class officers are: Arthur Nelson, Presi- dent; John Lukaskawcez, Vice-president; Thomas Anderson, Treasurer; Ronald Welton, Secretary.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY It was in the fall of ’47 that the ambitious but fun-loving class of r51 toddled through the doors of the DuPont club to begin the long journey through the four most formative years of their lives. To carry the burdens of our many troubles, we chose as our class officers: Engene Newhouse, President; Bernard Roberts, Vice-president: Claude Ross, Secretary; Ruth Summerfield, Treasurer. We came back in the fall of ’48, a little more experienced, and less ambitious. We chose the following as officers: Dick Bellile, President; Stanley Stefinske, Vice-president; Howard Hanson, Secretary; Eugene Newhouse, Treasurer. Here we are! Upper classmen at last, and truly grown up! We are proud of our achievements in all activities. Plans for the prom and banquet are now under way with Fred Koskie as Prom Chairman and Donna Peterson, Banquet Chairman. Our officers this year are- Howard Hanson, President: Richard Bellile, Vice-president; Alyce Mait- land, Secretary; John Smith, Treasurer. 19 CHEQUAMEGON 50 SOPHOMORE CLASS Left to right: ROW 1: Kathleen Sorenson, Fay Harris, Mrs. Wing, Mr. La Due, Ruth Garberg, Ruth Homan.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY We entered high school in September of 1948 as a very innocent g.oup of “freshies”. We were lucky to have Miss Finley as our class advisor. We elected Kenneth Welton, President; Glen Nyberg, Vice- president; Ruth Steen, Secretary; Carol Smith, Treasurer. In the fall of 1949 we again entered high school as a much wiser group of sophomores. The group was so large it had to be divided into two different sections, one group going into Mr. La Due’s home room and the other half into Mrs. Torke’son’s. At the end of the first semes- ter, Mrs. Wing took over Mrs. Torkel son’s group. We elected the follow- ing class officer: Kitty Sorenson, President; Fay Harris, Vice-president; Ruth Garberg, Treasurer; Ruth Homan, Secretary. We decorated a float for the homecoming and sold tickets to the movie, ‘‘The Green Promise”, which the Sophomore class sponsored. Many Sophomores went out for basketball, football, forensics, annual staff, cheerleading, and paper staff. 19 CHEQUAMEGON 50 FRESHMAN CLASS Left to right: ROW 1: Charles Simoneau, Tom Arnson, Miss Fin- ley, Janet Touve, Phyllis Grage.

After being fully initiated, we fell in line and were accepted as part of the school. To help us through the year we chose as our class officers, Presi- dent, Tom Arnson: Vice-president, Charles Simoneau: Secretary, Phyllis Grage; and Treasurer, Janet Touve. The freshmen have taken part in band, choir, basketball, football, and forensics. Members of the class are also on the Hi-Times and Che- quamegon staffs.

Much of the success of our paper is due to the assistance of Mrs. Tor' elson, who left us at the end of the first semester, and Mrs. Win«r who took up the responsibilities of producing the paper. Betty Larson, editor, Donna Peterson, assistant editor, and John Smith, business man- ager, were a capable staff. The members of the staff hope that in the eves of the readers, they have succeeded in producing a paper of which all can be proud. They sincerely appreciate the help of the Business IV Class, and the financial help of their advertisers. 19 CHEQUAMEGON 50 CHOIR Left to right: ROW 1: Mrs. Wing, Ruth Summerfield, Ronald Pettis, LaVern Ledin.

BAND ACTIVITIES The band, under the direction of Mr. Otto Leverenz, has had a very successful year. Its 38 members made a fine showing at the Northland College-Milton College football game and at the Washburn High School Homecoming parade both in October. They gave their first concert in December, at which the grade school twirlers gave a twirling exhibition while the band played stirring marches. A number of soloists also performed at this concert. The band plans to give a second concert later this year, after which they are to participate in the spring Music Festival to be held in May. 19 CHEQUAMEGON 50 FOOTBALL TEAM Left to right: ROW 1: Raymond Zanto, Fred Koskie, James War- ren, Howard Hanson, Richard Bratley, John Rodkewich, Thomas Ander- son, Wayne Simoneau.

THE 1949 FOOTBALL SEASON In our first game of the season we were defeated by Phillips by the score of 12-8. Both teams were good on defense and offense, but Wash- burn had trouble pushing the ball over the goal. Again we were defeated by a strong Park Falls eleven. Park Falls had both speed and pow'er. Washburn’s only score came in the final quarter. Washburn played its first home game and lost a thriller to Superior Cathedral by the score of 7-6. Both teams played on even terms until late in the game when Horyza scored the winning touchdowm. Washburn won its first game of the season by defeating DePadua 18- 6 in our homecoming tilt. DePadua led until late in the game when Bratley and Lukaskawcez each scored the winning touchdowns. Washburn lost its last game of the season to Hayward 12-2. Hay- ward scored early and Washburn couldn’t push the ball over the goal. Our only points came on a safety. 19 CHEQUAMEGON 50 BASKETBALL “A” TEAM Left to rijrht: ROW 1: John Smith, John Lukaskawcez; Thomas Anderson, Richard Bellile, Richard Bratley.

The Castle Guards rounded out a successful season bv taking their third consecutive IH loop title and the runner-up position of the Dis- trict Tournament. Despite twin set-backs at the hands of South Shore and Iron River during the conference race, the Guards grabbed first-place with a 12-4 record. In the tournanment, however, it was a different story. After an easy 54-40 opening round victory over Bayfield and a record-breaking 75-55 trouncing of the Cable Eskimos, the Castle Guards steamroller ran out of steam against their perennial stumbling block, the powerful South Shore Cardinals, to the tune of 51-43. The Guards were paced by the stellar floor-play and the deadly shooting of all-conference guard, Dick Bellile. Rounding out the Wash- burn five were four seniors, Jerry Gierzak, Dick Bratley, Jerry Raarup, and Tinker Anderson. This foursome provided the Castle Guards with a well-balanced, formidable aggregation, to which their adversaries will testify. 19 CHEQUAMEGON 50 INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS WASHBURN HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL SEASON (excluding tournament) PLAYER GAMES PF FGA FG AVE.

Our “B” team’s season was fairly successful this year. It ended with a 16-6 record in all games played, and a 13-3 record in league com- petition. The “B” squad had a few potential scorers who may make next year’s “A” squad. As a whole, everybody played to the best of his ability.

Cheerleading elections ware held again this fall and all positions were open.

The Pep Club composed of all the students of Washburn High School was very active under the leadership of Betty Ann Larson.

They chose as leaders: Betty Ann Larson, President; Ronald Welton, Vice-president; John Rodkewich, Secretary-treasurer. - 19 CHEQUAMEGON 50 CLASS PROPHECY By Phyllis Newman It was three-thirty, half an hour before quitting- time, so I started straightening the papers on my desk and putting things in order for the next day’s assignments. As I finished, Donald Haugen, the gossip editor, came over to my desk. “Y-y-you’re wanted i-i-in the o-o-office right a-a-away.” Donald didn’t stutter any more unless it was about something important. The editor, Lorraine Oberts, handed me a letter as soon as I was seated. Read it and tell me if you’d do it,” she said. Dear Miss Oberts: (the letter) I am writing to ask a special favor of you. I want to know the whereabouts of the class of 1950. As I am too old to do any traveling, I would appreciate it if you would have a special correspondent do the as- signment and send the report to me. Sincerely yours, Mr. M. C. Schmallenberg Superintendent of Washburn Schools I put the letter down. “I’d enjoy doing that. When do I start?” “Tomorrow morning,” was the reply. Upon reaching home I packed clothes to take with me and also my notebooks. The Garler Airlines had the best planes, so I called there. (The name Garler originated from Garland and Schindler.) Bob answered the phone and, when I told of my assignment, he offered to fly a special plane himself. “Will you be able to leave the Airlines, though?” “Cer- tainly,” was the reply. “Denny can handle it alone, and if he does get too busy, his wife Sally can help him. She has a flying license, too. Denny- said she was much safer flying a plane than driving a car.” Just as we were about to take off the next morning, Richard Smith came racing down the field, waving his arms frantically to get our atten- tion. When Bob turned off the motor, Richard explained that he had missed his plane and wanted to fly to Madison with us. He joined us and we were on our way. Flying over a wooded area, we saw clouds of smoke rising in the air. Deciding to investigate, we landed in time to see Shirley Miller running from bush to bush with a burning torch in her hand. Our inquiries were answered with, “Lloyd Vienneau, my husband, is a forest ranger, and I want to make sure he has enough w'ork to do.” We continued once more. Our next stop w'as the University of Wisconsin. Entering a chemistry lab, we were greeted by a loud ex- plosion. Through the smoky haze we heard someone exclaim, “Oh fuzz, it didn’t work.” The exclaimer was Ralph Baranow, Professor of Nuclear Physics. Looking at his watch, Dick said he had to go to the track meet as he was the track coach at Wisconsin. Continuing our journey once more, I was almost overcome by hunger. Bob took- my hint and we landed at “Charlotte’s Cafe”, the most popular restaurant and night club in Chicago. Charlotte, herself, took us to a table. After ordering our food, we watched the floor show. “Marlenia”, formerly Marlene Watts and her famous comedian husband, Don Lindsey, 19 CHEQUAMEGON 50 were the star performers. Marlenia’s Apache dance bewitched us, but Don’s witty remarks made us laugh till tears rolled down our checks. After leaving the cafe, we approached a corner newsstand where Bob purchased the latest edition of “Esquire.” He quickly turned the pages until he found “Swanson’s girl-of-the-month.” Tom Swanson was the artist of the year, famous for his drawings. Seeing a beauty shoppe across the street, I remembered I needed some hand lotion. I entered the shoppe. My eyes opened wide when I spied Elaine Jackson behind the counter. When I inquired about her job, she told me that she and Doris Stefinske owned the shoppe. They had decided long ago to take a course in beauty culture. Apparently, they had made a small fortune from the shoppe. After some persuasion, Bob agreed to go to the opera with me. We went to the Chicago Opera House because I knew that Prima Donna La- Vern Ledin and Thomas Anderson, the second Lauritz Melchior, were featured artists that evening. Their performance in “Tristan Und Isolde” was superb and the audience demanded encore after encore. I left Bob after the opera and took a room at a boarding house. I was surprised when my hostess turned out to be Mary Jean Burlager. “I lived alone for a number of years but I couldn’t stand it any more, so I started this boarding house,” she explained. “Cleone is my partner. We’ve done very well in the past three or four years.” Being rather tired after my long trip, I was glad to get to bed. How- ever I couldn’t go to sleep, so I read a few pages of Betty Eno’s latest novel, “Heartbreak For Two,” and then dropped off to sleep. The sound of a band playing “Hail To The Castle Guards”, interrupt- ed my dreams of the class of ’50. Sure enough, in the band shell across the street was a band, not any ordinary band, but the “City Service Band of America”, with Art Nelson as director. After breakfast I chatted with Mary Jean awhile and she gave me some information con- cerning some of our former classmates. John Lukaskaw’cez and Delores Palm were married, and that John was football coach at Notre Dame. A short time later, Cleone entered and informed me that Dick Bratley wras the basketball coach at Minnesota. Wanda Zinske and “The Ram- blers” were the country’s leading cowboy orchestra. Another bit of in- formation was extracted from Mary Jean. Margaret DickerhofF had married her high school sweetheart and they owned a large dairy farm on the outskirts of Washburn. Ruth White wras the physical educa- tion teacher at Vassar College. She made the girls keep in training too! Same old Ruth! It was after eleven when we left the boarding house. We hurried because -we had a luncheon date with the “Three Joes”. John Ander- son, Jack Rodkewich and Jerald Raarup were the “Three Joes”. A fourth “Joe”, Ronald Welton, was featured in Hollywood because of his outstanding acting ability. The ‘ Three Joes” however w'ere wmnderful singers, surpassing even the Mills Brothers! After lunch, Bob suggested the movies. Looking over the show bills, we decided to see “The Imp”, who was none other than Ervin Harnois. Bob remarked after the show that Ervin was a natural for the part. 19 CHEQUAMEGON 50 On the way out of the theatre, we met Lorraine Williamson, now Mrs. Jim Warren. She told us Jim was furious because she was such an ardent fan of Ervin’s and he refused to see any of Ervin’s pictures. We had gone only a little way when Bob whistled loudly. Looking up indignantly, I recognised the object of his whistle as redheaded Carol Hagstrom. She was starring in the current Broadway play. “The Spit- fire.” I have an appointment at “Betty’s Modiste Shoppe”, she explain- ed. Betty of Betty’s Modiste Shoppe was Bretc Larson. I remembered Brete’s flair for clothes in our high school days and her fashionable look. On our flight back to Milwaukee, I turned on the tele-radio for Ar- lette Zanto’s commentary on the news. While we were flying over Arn son’s wheat field, the motor conked out and we made a bumpy landing. After explaining what had happen- ed Gloria forgave us for the damages and invited us in for coffee. Larry, her husband, came in a while later. Bob explained our plight and Larry offered to get some gas from the nearest gas station, owned and operat- ed by Harold Iverson. Gloria told me that Dave Peake owned a farm only three miles away and Pal comes over quite often. On our way once more a custom-built plane flew lazily by. I recog- nized the person in the plane as Jerry Gierzak. Jerry made his fortune a few years back as a pro basketball player. He was retired now and had plenty of money to spend. We arrived in Milwaukee at 8:00 p. m. and I accepted a ride home in Bob’s new Cadillac. Stopping at Nyberg’s Pharmacy, I talked with the proprietor’s wife, formerly Peggy Brenning, and departed. Upon entering the car once again, I noticed a wistful look on Bob’s face. When I asked what was wrong, he replied, “I wish I could travel as much as Carole Mick, but I haven’t the ways or the means.” “Don’t feel so sad about that,” I said. She had a nervous breakdown when she was campaigning for her husband in the last presidential election.” He felt somwhat better after that. When we reached my apartment, I thanked him and went in. After thinking over the results of my trip, I decided that it had been worthwhile. I sat down at my desk and started my reply to Mr. Schmallenberg. He would be pleased to hear that the class of ’50 had done so well. 19 CHEQUAMEGON 50 SENIOR CLASS WILL I, JOHN ANDERSON, will my musical abilities to the band members of “51”.

HARRIET FINLEY ROBERT LA DUE LIONEL LE GAULT 19 CHEQUAMEGON 50 SENIOR CLASS ACTIVITIES BANQUET In honor of the seniors, the junior-senior banquet was held on March 26, 1949 in the recreation room of the Christ Lutheran church. Lor- raine Oberts was our chairman. Roy Jackson served as toastmaster. “The Last Roundup” was chosen by the class as the theme. Dec- orations were designed to look like characters from the wild west. After a very delicious dinner, a program of songs and speeches was enjoyed by all. Musical selections were rendered by Lois Cudmore and John Anderson. PROM The class of 1950 put on a very successful prom last year, with Denis Schindler acting as chairman. The dance was well attended with the music provided by the Blue Rhythm Band. The theme, “Moonlight and Roses”, was carried out with pastel streamers covering the ceil- ing and with white lattice work covered with various colored roses, on the wall. The colorful Grand March was led by King John Lukaskaw- cez and Queen Betty Ann Larson. It was climaxed by the crowning of the King and Queen by the royalty of the previous year, Ernest Bellila and Connie Pitts. MIXERS Six successful mixers were enjoyed by high school students and alumni this ’49-’50 basketball season. As in years before, mixers have been held Friday nights following our home games. The mixers were under the direction of Betty Ann Larson, president of the pep club. The pep club furnished the school with some new records. Dixie Sanger played the piano for the broom dances, which was appreciated very much by all who participated in the fun. HOMECOMING The annual Washburn High School Homecoming was held October 14th and 15th, under the chairmanship of Carole Mick. The parade, led by the band, came down Main street and ended at the old golf course, where the bonfire was held. The fire was late in getting started be- cause the boys had trouble finding the wood pile in the dark. The cheerleaders led the crowd in several cheers and the school song. Speeches were made by several of the townspeople. The snake dance, led by Tinker Anderson, paraded through the downtown business area. Saturday night, after Washburn defeated DePadua by the score of 18 to 13, the Homecoming dance was held in the DuPont gym. Everyone decided it was a very satisfactory Homecoming. 19 CHEQUAMEGON 50 HUMOR NAME WOULD LIKE TO BE WILL BE John Anderson Pro trombone player Wondering why not Tom Anderson President Voting for president Ralph Baranow Meat-packing tycoon Ham Richard Bratley Social problems teacher A social problem Margaret Brenning Nurse Nursemaid Mary Jean Burlager Window washer Feeling the pane Gloria Cook Violinist Playing 2nd fiddle Margaret Dickerhoff Beauty operator Wishing Betty Eno Receptionist Good old Betty Robert Garland Electrician Live-wire Carol Hagstrom Ads collector Paying out Ervin Harnois Big wheel Little Wheel Donald Haugen Farmer Plowed under Harold Iverson Coal miner Coal heaver Elaine Jackson Nobody!
