The perfect locality for work and play! Located on a point seven miles out in Lake Michigan the fair city of Two Rivers is a small but integral part of the Hplayground of the Middlewestf' While the rest of the state is sweltering under the summer sun, tourists crowd the sandy beaches along the cool lake to enjoy the natural features that native Two Riverites take so much for grantedethe temperate climate, Neshotah Park with its abundant recreational facilities, and Memorial Drive which borders the lake between Two Rivers and Manitowoc. Not only does Two Rivers attract tourists, but professional athletic teams have found this cool city an ideal place for summer training. Moderate temperatures promote pleasant working condi- tions in the thriving industries. Wood, plywood, steel, and aluminum manufacturing plants offer employment to many people. With the two rivers affording natural access to the lake, commercial fishing has also become a major industry. A number of the inhabitants are engaged in the construc- tion of electrical appliances and marine engines while others occupy themselves in the woolen mills and the numerous service positions of a normal community. The ice figure has been selected by the annual staff to represent the theme of the 1948 Neshotah, Two Rivers- The Coolest Spot in Wisconsin. A editor Yvonne Bohm, organization editor Jean Talmadge, editorial editor Earl Puls, art editor Page 3 For the past five years the lives of Two Rive1's'youth have been affected both directly and indirectly through the work of the superintendent, George M. G'Brien. In this short time, he has proved his outstanding ability, keen interest in students, and general thoroughness. He ada ted himself so well to the coolest spot in Wisconsin andjits inhabitants that he immediately became an important part of this community. Above all he won the respect and ad- miration of every student in Washington High. Some of the visible additions to the school for which Mr. O'Brien worked include: the stairs leading into the bowl, the new lighting system enabling Two Rivers to participate in evening football and track events, the picturesque sports Held, the stationary bleachers in the GEORGE M. O'BRIEN gym, and the much-praised loud speaking system which was installed throughout the school. The superintendent was graduated from Elkhorn High School and later attended Lawrence College. He received his bachelors and masters degrees from the University of Wisconsin. He not only participates in school activities but also has a wide variety of outside interests. Besides serving on the Library Board, the Vocational Board, and the Boy Scout Executive Committee, he is an active Rotarian, having served as president this past year. His hunting and Hshing interests have ta'ken him from Canada to Wyoming. With great pleasure, the annual staff of 1948 dedicates this annual to a great friend and superidtendent, Mr. George M. O'Brien. I L. B. CLARKE, principal GEORGE M. O'BRIEN, Jzzperintendent We are all proud of the Washington High School, We are equally proud of you young people who give life and action and meaning to the high school program. The outstanding faculty and fine school plant are the community's contribution to your education and training. The high,school's program is geared to the thought that it may help you to be better men and women. The educa- tional program provides an opportunity for you to learn to live better as well as to help you to make a better living! If all of the objectives of a high school program might be scanned they would cover a wide range of ideas. I think that we may sum them all up into two. The first would be to help you to get the best out of life for yourself. The second would be that the school help you to make the greatest contribution within your power to your country and the age in which you live, In the years to come I hope you realize those objectives. I know that you will continue to respect and revere the Washington High School, and will continue to work for a fine educational program for the young people of Two Rivers. George M. O'Brien We all take pridefstudents and townspeoplefrin the slogan of our city- The Coolest Spot in Wisconsin. We think of those mid-summer daysfthe last two weeks in July and the first two in Augustewhen the rest of the state is sweltering in the heat, when tourists camp out for the night along the lakeshore from the Park toward Manitowoc, to cool off in the welcome breezes from Lake Michigan. A fine slogan it is! And yet the credit for our fortunate situation in the summer must go to Nature, to our climate. You and I haven't anything to do with it. With no effort on our part, during those summer days we are just fortunate. Let us think of this slogan on the obverse side of a coin or medal. On the reverse side let us put The Warmest Spot in Wisconsinuewarmest in terms of friendship, hos- pitality, and cordiality. Nature does her partg the other part is up to us. Let us do our share to give our city-and our schoolfea reputation for good fellowship that will equal that of the cool breezes furnished by Nature. L. B. Clarke Pagc5 l l 5 5 . fi , Fw Edna Smith, Gertrude Daetz, Mildred Zuehl Under the supervision of Miss Bonita Kindschi, Mrs. Anna Kopetsky and Mrs. Laura Nagel, the students and faculty eating at the cafeteria were well and properly fed. Mrs. Kopetsky and Mrs. Nagel came to school in the morning with the students to begin their duties. It was not until the meal had been pre- pared and served and the kitchen left in spic and span order that the Women were through. Mrs. Minnie Goedjen, high school janitress, takes care of the home eco- nomics laboratory and several other cleaning jobs as well. All the shiny windows and woodwork are largely due to her effort. Page 6 Behind the scenes of Washington High School are three important as- sistants. These are: Mildred Ziuehl, secretary to the principal, Gertrude Daetz, secretary to the superintendent and the school board, and Edna Smith, clerk. Miss Zuehl directs reports, prob- lems, and records through the correct channels from the principal's office. Besides mimeographing and stencil- ing Miss Smith Works at the supply window before and after school. Miss Daetz, after completing her secretarial duties, makes out the pay- roll. Nagel, Goedjen, Kopetsky Neither the sleet not the snow of the coolest spot in Wisconsin kept the janitorial staff headed by the chief custodian of the Two Rivers' public schools, Roland Broker, from perform- ing its duties. Three of the janitors, Alex Gates, Adolph Brull, and Charles Khail, do general cleaning. George Spaeth has a variety of jobs including cleaning, driving the school bus, delivering, and Working in the cafeteria. Sam Simino is reponsible for the care of the grounds and heating system, while Andrew Rogalski undertakes the task of electrician, engineer, and general repair man.

This year, in their study of poetry, the essay, and the short story, the seventh and eighth rades enjoyed not only their own ramatic efforts but those of real live actors heard on the wire recorder. Interviewing and writing about the old residents of the city gave them a chance to display their knowledge of grammar. Some projects in freshman Englixh are of a mythical nature. Mythology, Trearure Irland, The Merchant of Venice, short stories, es- says, dramas, and poetry represent the literature of the freshman English course. In a six weeks' course in library science the student learns how to use library facilities more efficient- ly. Composition work includes con- versations, interview, reports, an- nouncements, social and business let- ters, and creative writing.

Second year English includes the reading of fuliux Caesar, Silas Marner, The Idylls of the King, short stories, essays, and poetry. Additional units stress social English, social let- ters, listening and speaking, voca- tional guidance, library methods, and speech improvement.

Disciplined, thoughtful, original, and spontaneous self-expression is one goal of all English Work. Wide reading, frequent speaking, much writing, stories, reports, grammar, and poetry, in addition to a sur- vey of American literature, form the sub- stance ofthe juniors' work. Senior English students are giving Orson Welles competition hy recording Macbeth on wire. Attention in senior English is focused on the best English, Irish, and Scotch writings so that the students will view literature as a means of expressing ideas, customs, and ways of living. The oral and written composition units are planned to meet the practical needs of the graduates in the future. English disappears4u1hen in Spanish class, do as the Spaniards do. Original Spanish conversations are a daily feature in the Spanish class. Besides studying grammar, both first and second year students get information about life in Latin America from their text books and through correspondence with Mexican students. After studying Caesar's tactics through trans- lations of his Gallic Wars, students of Latin I I relax a moment. Latin II includes a review of Latin vocabulary and a further study of Latin grammar. An interesting study is also made of mythology, Roman history, Cae- sar's Gallic Wars, and the relation of Latin to present day life. Page 9 9. X. Robert Winn . . .

Included in this is a brief study of the Constitution, democracy, the Civil War, reconstruction, business imperialism, reform, the United States as a world power, the New Deal, isolationism versus cooperation, World War II, and the post war world. Human Righty: The Key to World Peace prove! to he an excellent debating topic for facqae Arplund. This course includes a brief study of early civilization, commerce and finance, religious and national revolutions, the ad- vance of science, the ages of autocracy and democracy, World War I, and World Wat II. Debates, panel discussions, and timely essays add to the course. Taxation without reprefentation if tyr- anny, .rtater Donald Duprey in the jvrohlemr in democracy clan. The problems in democracy discussed in this course are heredity, environment, so- ciety, culture, social institutions, the trade market, taxation, and labor unions. Every student in the class is automatically a member of the Civic Service Society, a group organized to study, to suggest changes, and to give aid to the school and the community.

Algebra involves the calculations of formulas, simple and quadratic equa- tions, signed numbers, factoring, and indirect measurement. Square root radicals are also Worked. The students learn about statistical graphs and monomials to further their study of algebra. Geometric problemf have tlaefe Jtizdentr going in eireler. In the three geometry classes, stu- dents learn elementary ideas and Con- cepts of intuitive geometry. They study about triangles, parallels and quadrilaterals, polygons, circles, simi- lar triangles, and proportion. ln addi- tion they have a unit on air navigation, solid geometry, and trigonometry. As a special project this year the students handed in term papers on Geometry in Life As l See lt. Ann Rehrauer and Peter Egger! give an example to the rert of the geometry clan. These scholars of advanced mathe- matics find that wrong triangles may be ri ht triangles. A vanced algebra, solid geometry, and tri onometry represent the course of stuciy in advanced mathematics. The solution of right and acute tri- angles and navigation material are included under these heads.

In the freshman general science class a variety of things are brought to the attention of the students. Among these are air and man's uses of it, Water and how it's used, heat, the solar system, and the earth. An added study is made on conservation, communication, and transportation. One of the bmnelaer of general science it the rtudy of treef. Bialo-gy expluinr the Jurvival of the firm. In biology 10 students learn how to approach and solve many of the prob- lems of everyday life by the appli- cation of scientific principles. If they are to live intelligently and success- fully in this ever-changing world, they must develop proper attitudes and habits for every kind of life activity. The hase of this course which deals with river and pedestrian education emphasizes the use and knowledge of correct practices and safety precau- tions on the part of those persons who use the streets and highways. Page 14 After experimentation, high school chemists find All that glitters is not gold. Important elements are discussed, as well as the chemistry of the consumer. Many experiments are performed in the laboratory. Chemistry students study the molecular theory in the composition of matter, the changes that matter undergoes, and the laws that govern these changes. The chemistry students agree that experience is the hest teacher. Lights, camera, mation are all studied by the physics class. The science of the material world is studied in physics by means of practical experiments and textbooks. Matter and mechanics, force and motion, photog- raphy, sound, light, and electricity prove good material for these experiments. Temperatures soar as these physics students compare degrees.

Individual appreciation and participation in concerts and songs are the outcomes of this group's work. The 80 members under the direction of Fred Roemer meet every day during the fourth period. This part of the curricu- lum may be elected after the students pass a simple voice test. In cooperation with the band and glee club, the chorus participated in the annual Christmas Concert this year- lt also traveled to Menasha for the Spring Music Festival. Seventh and eighth grnderi prepare for an hour of ringing. The junior high curriculum provides for one eriod of art and one period of music each week. he music period is designed to foster the appreciation of good music through partici- pation in singing and study of folk songs and dances, and the music of well-known composers. Page 17 The nrt clnrref convene to rketch live Juhjectf. Working with a variety of materials such as water colors, oils, clay, chalk, charcoal and paper-mache, the art students create posters, paintings, sculpture and drawings. Often class time is taken to work on art competition proi- ects, both local and national in scope. Func- tional use of art in daily living is stressed.

Boys' and girls' homemaking classes are held separately, but both evolve around the subject of twenty-four hours of living. The course includes rules of the game, selection and care of clothing, building better bodies, understanding ourselves and others, family linances, home plans and fur- nishings, courtship and marriage, and child care and trainin . Kindergarten observation is part o this last unit. There woodworking .ftzzdentf believe in the bert of quality. The best techniques of cutting, shaping, assembling, and finishing articles made of Wood are some of the important things taught in wood- working.

A large vocabulary is developed in beginning stenography. Fluent read- ing and writing of shorthand outlines are stressed throughout the course. Each student strives to develop a writing speed of 80 words per minute. With accuracy ar hir motto, Mr. McGinty checks the accountr. A course with an eye for the future is the bookkeeping course. Propor- tioning individual and family budg- etsg learning to keep records for single proprietorship, partnership, and cor- porationsg setting up working trial balances, balance sheets, and profit and loss statements are just some of the many valuable and practical things taught in this class.

Although typing and stenography 12 are two separate classes, the combi- nation is required of all advanced com- mercial students. Advanced typing problems are handled in typing 12. In stenography, mailability is the standard for all transcription work. Speeds of 100 and 120 words per min- ute are developed in the speed-building course. Relax your handy, girlr, for another 100-word take. When the commercial course girls make out their first letter of applica- tion for stenographic jobs, it is their wish to be able to include information that they have attained 100 Words per minute in shorthand and 50 words per minute in typing.

Bottom: Sophomore Dance. September 19. The sharp clanging of an alarm clock aroused many Washington High School students last fall. To some, this early hour seemed unusual until a glance at the calendar indicated that it was September 3, 1947. Yes, the first day of school! Numerous Alices, Bills, and Joes were rushing around on that morning. The time had arrived to put away play- things and lubricate brain cells. In a short time school was in full swing again. Studies were resumed, and so were all the other activities. School days were here, and everyone was really in a daze. In keeping with the students' feelings, the sophomores swung out on September 19 with the first dance of the year. Bob Mlada's music, and skill- fully planned decorations, gave an appropriate atmosphere to the affair and it turned into a real School Daze. Now that the ice was broken, school activities took the sport light. The football heroes who had been prac- ticing for weeks were ready to meet the first challenger, Manitowoc. Manitowoc came out on top, but this was soon ancient history because of the favorable results of the next two games played with De Pere and Algoma on the 20th and 26th. Weeks before the October 17 homecoming game against the Oconto Blue Devils, a queen and her court were elected by special vote to preside over the celebration.

After this the crowd made merry at the annual Homecoming Dance. Although all football games can't be as significant as the homecoming game, the Ke- waunee game on October 25 proved to be a definite thriller with Lady Luck on T. R.'s side, it was a last-minute victory. On October 2 many happy faces appeared in the halls because of Election Day. Of course, the best smiles belonged to the students who had been chosen to lead their classes this year as officers. The daily schedule needs some of those little breaks, entertainment programs, pep skits, elections, and movies offer these breathing spells from studies. On October 6, Alonzo Pond presented his lecture on the exploration of caves and the finding of Lost john. Many a student was mystified, too, by Lorin Campbell's sleight-of-hand tricks. One particularly vivid assembly film pictured the desolate, starved, homeless people of modern Europe. October 23! Oh, memorable day! Report cards came out! Something every faculty member looks forward to is the W.H.S. Parents' Night. Of course, this November 13 some students had to think up tall tales of explanation, too. Page 24 gt.

In order to interest students in good books a Teen-Age Tales skit was given by the S eech Squad members on November 19, de- picting scenes ffom various popular novels. Asultry, south sea breeze blew in November 21 for the Coral Reef. The fall ball would have been perfect except for the fact that the basketball team went to a game at Pulaski, which left many a poor damsel in distress. The G.A.A. girls completed a successful season of that rough'n ready game, hockey. As one sport ended another began, and the girls then made plans to reduce Waistlines by starting to bowl right after Thanksgiving vacation. Ah, what a pleasant thought-Thanksgiving vacation! On November 20, the seniors in particular received addi- tional guidance when Mr. Haukohl, a uidance director, spoke in an assembly about getting jobs fir a secure future. Mr. Rosholt, a speaker who had lived in China for several years, told many interesting facts about foreign customs and people when he visited on November 3. Father Time moved on unnoticed by the seniors until December 1 when commencement announcement orders were taken! As the last touchdown in the football season was scored, basketball dribbled in.

The Two Riverites, however, had different ideas and came out on top once again. For the first time entertainment between the halves was featured, for the crowd got a taste of good old-fashioned square dancing. December 10 was Play Night and three one-act plays were presented for the enjoyment of the publicfa comedy, a drama, and a mystery. Extra! Extra! A big splash was recorded on December 11 by the Golden Torpedoes when the team drowned out the Y.M.C.A. of Green Bay. The Purgold swimmers outswam and outdived their opposition by a score of 45-38. Vernon Beckman, backbone of the debate team, jour- neyed with the A and B division teams to the conference debate at Algoma, December 13. The A squad talked its way into four wins and two losses, tying for second place with Clintonville and Shawano. On December 14 the local residents enthusiastically ap- plauded the band, glee club, and chorus members at the Christmas concert. Every person attending the concert went away musically inspired with the deep meaning of the approaching season. This year a candlelight procession featuring the chorus and glee club members was added to the program.

January 12 was not a blue Monday for W.H.S. students. Irving Deer related the facts behind the scenes in the motion picture industry. A date-that every 1947-48 member of the Neshotah News Staff will never forget was January 16. The twelve issues of the Neshotah News are evidence enough of the hard work and long hours the staff put in. The senior issue and the farewell dance came on this day. During the intermission of the Ink Slingers' Ball, the new staff was announced.

The paper now changed hands once again, and the juniors became the big chiefs of the Neshotah News. An all out swim meet was held January 22 in the E. Hamilton Pool. Three Two Rivets' divisions, Alumni, Golden Torpedoes and the Girls' Swimming Club, played host to the Green Bay Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. at which Two Rivers carried an all out victory. The girls stole the show by defeating their opponents 42-37. Besides this outstanding team work, three old records were broken! Two by Pearl Jourdain, senior, in the 40-yard free style and 60-yard medley, one by Marlene Babler in the 100- yard free style. Three more basketball victories were chalked up on January 23, 27, and 30. T. R. outshot Kewaunee 42-37, brought Algoma to her knees, and downed De Pere 56-46. For a week beforejanuary 28 an old tune with new words was sung by W.H.S. students. Headaches, headaches, my thinking of you gives me headaches. The headaches, of course, were exams. Good acting? Of course, that was seen on February 12 at the junior Class Play, A Date With Judy. The juniors, irresistibly drawn to the bright lights and grease paint, gave a delightful performance!

As the curtain drew to a close on the acting, the boxing team drew gloves. No, it wasn't a Golden Gloves tourney, but intramural boxing held at Washington High School, February 15. With a feint to the right and a left to the jaw, punches flew around the ring! It was amidst these blows that Robert Hendrikson appeared as the mighty Fightingest Fighter. The next day, Valentine's Day, brou ht together, though not by Cupid's bow and arrow, the debate teams of Port Washington and Two Rivers. The spirited controversy on compulsory arbitration which proceeded was delivered by a group of future Daniel Websters and Robert Haynes. After victory over Oconto Falls on February 20, the Purple Raiders reigned as co-champions of the Northeastern Wisconsin Conference with the Oconto basketball team. The night of February 25 was not only the first of the tournament games but also the first of a series of W.H.S. broadcasts to be given over WOMT. The Regional W.I.A.A. Basketball Tournament was held here February 25-28. Good sportsmanship was displayed, for no one begrud ed the winner his laurels! The Raiders received silver medals as second place winners. Brillion, a most deserving team, defeated W.H.S. by just one point and walked off with the trophy.

The early March blizzards proved the proverb, ln like a lion and out like a lamb. Those circumstances didn't keep members of the Polliwog Club from inviting the girls of the Manitowoc swimming club to a Splash Party on March 4. Twice yearly the mermaids from both clubs have a swim together, followed by an exchange of fish stories at the pot-luck suppers. The school calendar was crowded in March with dates for additional broadcasts, a program of semi-classics pre- sented by a trio of three girl songsters and tryouts for the senior class play. Music lovers crowded the auditorium March 18 for the annual Pop Concert. As the footlights grew dim and a hush fell over the audience, the curtain parted on eighty purple- robed choristers who sang such selections as Cindy and The Whiffenpoof Song. After this, the concert concluded with several selections by the band. At 3 :16 on March 25, school was dismissed for a seven-day Easter vacation! April 1 was uneventful, but the following day, April 2, the senior class sponsored its last wonderful dance. The Netherlands were brought into the gym effectively through the theme, Dutch Garden. Huge tulips, realistic dishes, five foot wooden shoes, and tall windmills lined the walls of the gym.

For the one hundredth birthday of the ood old badger state, open house was held on April 15. Stufents and parents visited the school to see classes and exhibits featuring things pertinent to the centennial. April 21, at the Girls' lnterclass Swimming meet, all the mermaids of high school had the opportunity to display their ability to swim and dive. The seniors proved their acting powers April 22 when they presented a finished performance of The Green Vine. The freshman officers chose April 30 for the last class dance of the year. Their You-all Ball was woven into a southern theme with the aid of cotton decorations and paper negroes. Soon May loomed into si ht, and the seniors, practicing for commencement, realizedg that high school days would soon be over. It was the time of year for banquets and last- minute gatherings. Gosh, I made it! said each of the girls who received a letter or-medal at the G.A.A. banquet, May 19. Hi hlights of the banquet were the food, programs, and ofgcourse, announcement of the All-Around Girl. Another such gathering was the senior banquet held May 26. Walls were gaily decorated with the legendary Paul Bunyan figures and Wisconsin industrial pictures, both of which were in accordance with the theme, Cen- tennial Cavalcade.

After the banquet, a glimpse into the future was taken as the class prophecy was read and into the past with the history. The seniors thoroughly enjoyed the class will, too, in which the graduating class bestowed on underclassmen personal character traits, outstanding abilities, and clever likes and dislikes. In parting, everyone joined in to sing the heart-warming melody, Auld Lang Sfynef' As june slowly entered the scene, most o the seniors were slightly doubtful that graduating was so wonderful after all because it meant leaving school. On june 4 the seniors had to face the rest of the school in the farewell assembly and say, Goodbye, think not that we shall e'er forget the friends we leave behind. At eight o'clock on the evening of June 4, students prepared for the Senior Farewell. It was the last high school formal for the seniors and the success of the dance led to many pleasant memories. The final exams on june 7, 8, and 9 were most certainly memorable events. The streets of T. R. were deserted for three nights. That's not entirely unusual, but it's worth mentioning because many of the students were at home cramming for those all-important tests. June 10! Commencement! The seniors fully realized that school days at last were over. When the formal exercises were finished, farewells were said, and the class promised the school to go forth today deeds of valor and honor to do. Page 28 XL 6 4 f ZW , J x 140,05 1 ?

The 1947 football season, coached by Ray Wiersig and his assistant, Irving West, proved to be successful with Two Rivers winning six out of the eight games played. The Purple Raiders captured the N. E. W. CEastern Divi- sionD title for the fourth consecutive year. A few highlights of the season-- Manitowoc: The first game, a series of fumbles on the part of Two Rivers, eventually Went to Manitowoc. It broke Two Rivers' two-year winning streak. The final score was 39-12. , Homecoming with Oconto: The much talked about Lindsay of Oconto was stopped. Bob Pischner starred in the Oconto game by making three touchdowns, one on a 95- yard run. The game ended to the tune of 35-7 in the Raider's favor. Kewaunee: A thrilling game of the season was finally won by the home team with a score of 18-14. The Indians threw a scare into the Raiders by leading in the game all the way. Then the last play, a pass from Velicet to Koz- lowski, turned the tide, winning the game for Two Rivets and capturing the Northeastern Wisconsin title by the decision of the WIAA ofiicials. Algoma: The game was scoreless until the third quarter when Wachowski made a lone touchdown. Algoma threat- ened and was on the Two Rivers two-yard line with two minutes to go in the game, but the Raiders held them making the final score 6-0. Marinette: A powerful Marinette team overshadowed a less aggressive Two Rivers team. Velicet intercepted a pass and ran fifteen yards for the Raider's only score in the last quarter. The game ended with a score of 35-7.

Captain Bill Otro was placed on the second eleven. l l i Senior halfback Bob Pischner, most valuable player Senior end Bill Otto, captain ofthe local sq nad The 1947-48 version of the Raiders coached by Bjarne Wrolstad followed the pattern set by the football team. The local hoopsters completed the season with a 13-9 record, tying for the conference championship. In the season's opener, an off-form Purgold quintet watched New Holstein eke out a 23 to 20 score. Still a bit unused to the court sport, the boys dropped another fairly close one to Milwaukee Pulaski, a faster, more experi- enced squad. The score was 48 to 41. The third game of the season, a non-conference one against Neenah, was an overtime loss for W. H. S. and resulted in 'a 45 to 44 score. Maintaining their position on the red side of the ledger, Two Rivers lost to Manitowoc by 27 to 41 . After this run of hard luck, however, the team worked as a unit to scalp the Kewaunee Indians. The Raiders romped to a 51-32 victory. Their next victim was Algoma, whom they beat 36-27. De Pere fell to the tune of 31 to 22 in the Raiders third conference win. Two Rivers also gave Oconto a scare, but lost to the co- Row 2: Coach Wrolstad, 4 Kozlowski, Braun, Halvor- sen, Pischner, Strutz, Mgr. , Sh'k v k' i ow s 1.

S. quint blasted Sturgeon Bay 54 to 30 on the home court and subdued Oconto Falls by virtue of a 55 to 30 count. Still winning and gaining speed on the victory train the boys eked out a thriller at Kewaunee, 42 to 37. At Algoma, the boys found the Wolves' howl worse than their bite and walked away with the game, 41 to 31, and a 56 to 46 win over De Pere made the fifth consecutive victory for the local basketeers. In the return game with Manitowoc, the Ships downed the Raiders in a fast, but clean, game by a 45 to 37 score. In the championship game the Purgolders, even though off their shooting form, whipped Oconto 40 to 36. The Raiders met a strong team when they played against the Neenah Rockets and lost 62 to 37. Sturgeon Bay, too, tumbled before the sharpshooting locals' attack, 50 to 32. Winding up the regular season in fine style the boys outshot Oconto Falls, 60 to 36. Strutz, Halvorsen, Kandlet, Zellner.

SWIMMING Washington High School's 1947-1948 Golden Torpedoes coached by Carroll Swearengen completed the season with a record of six wins and three losses. In nine meets, the team met some of the finest competition in the state. In the opening meet against Green Bay, Two Rivers won by a 48 to 35 score. Their next encounter was not as suc- cessful, because Wauwatosa with one of the best teams in the state stopped W,H,S. boys by a 62-21 count. In the remainder of the season the Golden Torpedoes lost a pair of meets to Milwaukee Pulaski, another good team, by scores of 52 to 31 and 57 to 18. The team posted three wins over Green Bay 54-29, 51-32, and 54-29, and one over its arch rival and neighbor city, Manitowoc, 56 to 27. The final meet of the year against the alumni was, perhaps, the most exciting and outstanding one of the season. The team managed to edge out a one-point win over former swimmers with a score of 42 to 41. No pool records were broken this year, but Peter Eggers, a junior, topped the 60-yard individual medley record in Green Bay's pool. The 180-yard medley team broke another record in the Green Bay pool, however, it has since been bettered. Final tabulation of points placed Norman Wood, a senior, out in front with 68 points. At the end of the season the team elected seniors, Gladwyn Doughman and Norman Wood co-captains. Swimming Norman Wood, team's high scorer and co-captain. Gladwin Doughman, co-captain.

Head coach Charles McGivei'n and assistant coach John Kraupa had only five of last years lettermen to serve as a nucleus for the new squad. The veterans were: Warren and Erich Stuebs, Gordon Braun, Allen Shambeau, and Donald Copeskey. The boys who completed the season's training and bouts included: at 100 lbs., Glenn Durocher, at 108 lbs., Don Copeskeyg at 116 lbs,, Bob Hendrickson, Ray Kanugh, and Richard Virnoche, at 124 lbs., john Lawler, and Allen Shambeau, at 132 lbs., Gordon Braun, at 140 lbs., Lawrence Richards, at 148 lbs, Warren Stuebsg at 156 lbs., Greg Schmitt, at 164 lbs., Erich Stuebsg at 170 lbs., and the heavy- weight, Francis Lesperance. The boxers' four matches included two home bouts with Green Bay Catholic and Shiocton, and two out-of-town bouts with Casco and Portage. The schedule was cut down because one school had dropped boxing activities. One other match was the elimination bouts. During this series Bob Hendrickson in the 116 lb. weight was named Fightingest Fighter. Row 2: Mgr. Hamilton, Coach McGivern, Richards, W. Stuebs, Shambeau, Silbersuck, Schmitt, H. Arnemann, E.

Koch, Antonie and Kummerfeldt, hurdles, and Raddatz, Zellner, L. Gagnon, and L. Koch in the field events. These boys, aided by a host of new talent, formed the nucleus of the track squad. The wealth of material in the running events, especially the shorter distances, was in- strumental in the successful season accomplished by the team. The schedule was as follows: T. R.

All matches were arranged on a home-and-home basis, giving the Raiders ten matches. Due to the loss of six graduating seniors, the team was somewhat handicapped at the beginning of the season. This year's squad is built around only one returning letter- man, Morrie Halvorsen, but there are a number of under- classmen out for tennis who show great promise for the future.

Teaching Eve classes a day and supervising the Polliwog Club and G.A.A. is the task of Miss Delores Engstrom, girls' physical education instructor. In addition, Miss Engstrom, together with the head of swimming, organizes the girls' swimming meets in which teamwork and sports- manship are stressed. Polliwog pageants alternating with swimming meets are also presented under her direction. For the past twenty-two years, membership in the Polliwog Club has been a goal set by all girls interested in swimming. Polliwog is an honorary swimming organization for all girls from the seventh to the twelfth grades. Students who pass the requirements which include perfection in strokes, stunts, and dives are eligible for membership. Every other year the girls spend the Thursday practice time preparing for the inter-class swimming meet in which all Polliwog members must swim or else forfeit their membership in the club. In alternate years, the club presents an exhibition called the Polliwog Pageant. President Donna Barber, vice-president Pearl Jourdain, secretary-treasurer Nancy Gesell, and manager Marian Brault, with the help of Miss Delores Engstrom, direct the activity. Every year one-third of the seniors are chosen on the basis of dependability, service, and loyalty as honorary members. Those chosen for the honor this year were Donna Barber, Miriam Clayton, Mary Ann Zlatnik.

Because it is an honor to receive this title, most girls from their freshman to their senior years take active part in class sports. The All-Around Girl is chosen, with the aid of Miss Engstrom, by the G.A.A. board and officers on the basis of sportsmanship, leadership, character, and dependability.

As in all other clubs, special students are needed to help promote fair play and to help the organization progress in an ellicient manner. The students, in this case, are the G.A.A. board members who each have charge of one sport. The board members this year were chosen in a different way than they have been in the past. Two nominees for each oflice were appointed at a G.A.A. mass meeting, and one other nominee was added at a G.A,A. board meeting. These nominees were voted on by all active members.

The most coveted honor of Washington High School is membership in the National Honor Society. On the basis of scholarship, leadership, service, and character shown during the past three and one-half years, fifteen per cent of the upper third of the senior class is elected annually by a large faculty committee. Although only those who rank in the highest third of the class in scholarship are candidates, all four require- ments are of equal importance in the eyes of the committee. This organization, besides creating enthusiasm for scholarship, encourages development of character, pro- motes worthy leadership, and stimulates a desire to render service in all school and community activities. The students chosen are initiated into the society during an impressive ceremony conducted as a part of the tradi- Pagc 42 tional farewell assembly. After giving a pledge to uphold the high ideals and purposes of this organization. these students become full-fledged members of the National Honoi Society. The president of the Alumni Association then presents the new members with pins donated by the Association. The emblem is a keystone and a flaming torch. The keystone bears at its base the letters C, S, L, and S, which stand for the principles of the organization: character, scholarship, leadership, and service. The entire keystone symbolizes the high ideals of the society, and the flaming torch is the emblem of learning and purpose. The National Honor Society was founded by the Na- tional Association of Secondary-School Principals in 1921. Washington High School received its charter in 1929.

Twenty girls are chosen from the upper one-third of the junior class by the president, vice-president, secretary, and executive board members of that class to serve as junior ushers. A pleasing appearance, an admirable personality, and dependability are all qualities a junior usher is required to possess. Taking tickets, distributing programs, and directing the audience to the proper seats are the duties of the ushers at the social events during the school year. A head usher is picked to fold the programs and to see that enough ushers are on hand for the junior and senior class plays, the band concerts, the choral concerts, and the most important event, commencement. On the basis of service, leadership, character, and scholarship, nine junior boys are selected by a committee of eight members of the faculty to serve as Junior Rotarians throughout the school year. In order to be considered, the boys are required to be in the upper one-third of their class. Each Junior Rotarian is a guest at the Two Rivers Rotary Club meetings for one month during the school year. The luncheon meetings are held on Mondays at the Hotel Hamilton. Listening to speakers, hearing the busi- ness of the club, and talking with some of the members of the club brings about a closer relationship and a much better understanding between the community and the school. All Junior Rotarians are presented with pins at the last meeting they attend. JUNIOR ROTARIANS jiogv 2: Hohn, Gruel, Velicer, Nehring, Kummer- el t. Row 1:Eggers, Reich, Gilbert, Strouf, Niquette.

The Purple and Gold Society with Miss Dorotheal Briggs as adviser promotes worthwhile projects in school and assists other organizations and campaigns. New members from the junior and senior high elected every fall and mid- semester remain members as long as they take an active part in the club program. The Purple and Gold conducts such activities as: boosting the entertainment fund, spon- soring the Senior Farewell, checking coats at swimming meets, ushering for various school events, trimmin Christ- mas trees in the auditorium, keeping bulletin boar s attrac- tive, tending doors for assemblies, and purchasing pictures, debate banners, and similar awards. The leaders this year are: Jean Martin, president, Jim Mezera, vice-president, Nancy Gesell, secretary. Another service organization is composed of all the students enrolled in the problems in democracy class. The Civic Service Society, under the leadership of Robert D.

Students seeking oflice must have petitions secured from the election officials signed by 15 per cent of their class- mates. The members who run in the final elections are determined by preliminary elimination elections. This year Winifred Greenwood acted as judge of elections and Ernest Des Jarlais as the assistant judge. Civic Service meetings are held bi-weekly and are carried on under strict parliamentary procedure.

The hearts of Washington High Schools Pep Club mein- bers were heavy in September, 1947, When they lost their 'Awarmest friend, Carmichael, the long-cherished raccoon coat belonging to the club. The burial of Carmichael at the time of the tirst home football game was but one of the many humorous antics the organization produced in assemblies. These programs are presented to encourage pep during the football, basketball, and boxing seasons. The Club is now under the supervision of Miss Helenj. Ledvina. The Pep Club took an active part in the football home- coming celebration by sponsoring a trophy for the most outstanding float in the parade. The trophy, composed of a dark brown shield with metal plates, was awarded to the sophomore class for its outstanding float which depicted the defeated opposing team on its way back home, The cheerleaders presented an extremely colorful cheering season. Through the introduction of the MPa-Da-Da yell, and others, and the use of purple and gold pompons for the school song, students found new interest in the cheers. The leaders, headed by Donna Emond, appreciated the help of Rita Johannes, now an honorary member of Pep Club, for presenting them with new ideas. Another pep organization is the Pep Band which plays at every skit and for each home basketball game. Under the direction of Fred Roemer, this group, consisting of a number of the high school band members, adds the right spirit to rallies and various sports events during the year.

Speech students endeavor throughout their high school careers to earn enough points to be eligible for the Na- tional Forensic League. These points are earned in several ways, ranging from giving declamations to presenting as- sembly speeches. The students who join the league receive jeweled keys and certificates to show membership. Fifty points earn an emerald and a degree of honor, one hundred points, a blue sapphire and a degree of excellence, and two hundred points, a ruby and a degree of distinction. Mem- bership in the League gives one the privilege of competing in the annual state N.F.L. contest. Vernon Beckman, adviser, tabulates the points. The Dramatics Club draws its membership from those students in the tenth to the twelfth grades who are inter- ested in dramatics. Aside from acting, participants may also study stagecraft and make-up. The club is run by a group of elected oflicers and supervised by Robert D. Winn. This year, under the auspices of the dramatic enthusiasts, the public enjoyed a play night consisting of three one-act plays, and a one-act comedy named Glamour The topic of the 1947-1948 debate was Resolved: The Federal Government should require arbitration of labor dis- putes in all basic American industries. Audrey Zuehl and Mary Ann Karl took the affirmative side and Robert Niquette and Marlene Simonis took the negative side for the A team. The B team consisted of James Sauve and jack Hall, affirmative, and Elizabeth Shuman and Marlene Pagels, negative. The debate team, advised by Vernon Beckman, completed a most successful year by tying Amery for third place at the state meet in Madison.

The con- tests are divided into two major groups, junior and senior high. This year the outstanding speakers of past contests were chosen to represent their classes in speech work. They memorized ten-minute selections and gave them in a semi- final contest. The three best speakers in each divisionf oratory, dramatic, and humorous declamation-then com- peted for first, second, and third place. Mrs. Lila Glomstad is assisted by other members of the faculty in carrying out this program. Winners in the junior high contest held on March 2, included Mary Virgili, Charlotte Parmenter, and Donna Andrus in humorous, dramatic, and oratorical declamations, respectively. In the senior high finals March 4, first-place winners, in the same Order were: Irene Harding, Jean Talmadge, and Georgian Rogalski. These students also represent the school in out-of-town contests. Later in the season individual contests were also held in extemporaneous reading and speaking.

In case of a tie at the end of the as- sembly, written tests are given to those standing by L. B. Clarke, principal. Senior high winners for this year were: Sharon Jann, first, and Miriam Clayton, second, While Janice Malkowski and Eileen Simonis placed first and second for the junior high, respectively. Supervised by Mrs. Lila Glomstad, the Junior High Speech Squad members work very hard to develop poise, ease of speaking, good acting technique, and an under- standing of parliamentary procedure. Some of the club's activities during 1947-1948 included the Book Week project called Teenage Tales and presentation of a one-act play.

Early in the morning of December twenty-ninth, thirty- six members of the staff stepped aboard the school bus to journey to Milwaukee for a tour of the Milwaukee journal building. The group actually saw the life processes of a large daily newspaper. The lnk Slingets' Ball was the title of the annual Nefborah Newr dance held january 16. As usual, the highlight ofthe evening was the announcement of the new junior staff which published the paper during the second semester. To open the subscription drive in the fall the staff gave a Mr. Anthony skit in the assembly. Every day for a week members of the staff visited homerooms and gave sales talks to boost the campaign. 'journalism units in the junior English classes prepare each student for duties on the Nerhorah News Staff. During this time students edit their own class papers and then take over the publication of the school paper during the second semester of their junior year and the Hrst semester of their senior year.

A corps of SO girls, under direction of Miss Gertrude Sweetman, comprises the organization known as the Nurses Aides, At least two girls help the nurses at the local hos- pital every day with minor tasks, each girl having specific times assigned to her to work. The girls themselves are usually interested in a career of nursing, and participation in such work is an excellent means of getting acquainted with a possible career. The girls did a line job when regis- tered nurses were on duty throughout the world during World War ll. Seventeen of these girls also took a very active interest in the home nursing course offered here in Two Rivers. just a ten cent donation makes it possible for anyone in Washington High School to become a junior Red Cross member. Money contributed by students is used for all the varied activities of the Senior Red Cross drive and all its RED CROSS COUNCIL-Seated: Brice, Hodek, Brunner, Eckley, Stand- ing: Kummerfeldt, Cnot pictured, Ebel,D projects. By giving pep talks, this council aids in making the junior Red Cross campaigns in the school successful. The junior Red Cross projects are divided among several school groups, each working to help make the lives of shut-ins throughout the United States and the world more pleasant. Manual training boys make wooden games for veterans' and childrens' hospitals. The art department de- signed murals of nursery rhyme characters for children, in addition to the tray covers and aluminum trays for veterans. Nut cups and Christmas decorations were among contribu- tions from the Purple and Gold Society. In its desire to help, the Purple and Gold also brought Christmas cheer to an elderly couple in Two Rivers. The Mariner Scouts deco- rated nut cups and trays for veterans' hospitals. Stuffed toys for children were made by the sewing classes. The general supervisor of the work was Mrs. Irma Klaus.

Each morn- ing two girls help Miss Bonita Kindschi, the home economics teacher, and each noon hour five girls are kept busy in the cafeteria. An organization under the direction of Melvin Heyroth is the Movie Projectors' Club. Members are taught how to run and care for various projectors and films. When they are fully acquainted with this work, these students manage the projectors for assemblies, classes, and clubs during their free periods throughout the day. The Biology Club is a popular organization for those who are interested in nature study. To acquire a better understanding of conservation, the feeding of birds, tree planting, and pest con- trol, the students raise and care for plants and animals for classroom study. The work of the Club, which may be done individually or in groups, is directed by Herbert Dohrman. Under sponsorship of the Two Rivers Rotary Club, a new club was formed two years ago to promote better international relations. This or- ganization, The International Club, is directed by Miss Emily Volk. Members write to pen-pals from other countries, collect articles, and make displays. Each student reports his findings at meetings which are held every first and third Monday of the month. MOVIE PROJECTORS' CLUB-Top Row: Stroud, Mr. I-Ieyroth, Row 3: Grover, Pok. I-Iorstmann.

Battle for the land that needs us, Keep the grand ideal that leads us, Faithful serve the soil that breeds us, Surely, surely, we'll gain the victory. The senior class officers elected by their classmates led the class of 1948 through a year of fun and study. These fellow students undertook the jobs of sponsoring the senior dance, Dutch Garden, selecting the all-important commencement announcements, taking care of the business of the senior class play, and managin the senior banquet at which the president served as master of ceremonies. This group also was re- sponsible for the successful homecoming. As a finale, the president bade fare- well to the school and the remaining students in his traditional farewell speech. jourdain, Clayton, Martin, Reich, Mezera, Hohn. Pischner, Horn, Bohm. Goodbye, goodbye, think not th shall e'er Forget the friends we leave behind, While flowers rare perfume the air, Helping sweet memories to bind.
