 ■ j ... C m ... J In the fall of 1984, the 184 members of the class of '88 entered the halls of WHS for the first time. There were many things we didn't know about until we were helped along by those friendly seniors. Before we knew it, our first Homecoming was upon us. We were very excited and happy to Bury the Broncos and the rest of the school, even though our float won only 3rd place. Nevertheless, our spirit was first rate! Our freshmen representatives were Scott Klein and Beth Nannemann. Leading us through all these firsts were: Dale Mittelstaedt, President; Tammy Berg, Vice President; Donna Titze, Secretary; and Julie Benavides, Treasurer. Just as we began to get used to the routine, spring was upon us with all its new activities. Finally, we had the routine down. We became sophomores! The end of all the firsts. Class officers for our 183 sophomores were: Joe Zablocki, President; Scott Klein, Vice President; Donna Titze, Secretary; and Tim Halverson, Treasurer. Our second Homecoming was a great success. Our float received a first place because we knew our team would Spit on the Panthers.” Sophomore reps for the Homecoming festivities were John Rydzik and Deana Tweed. Before we knew it, the time had come for cupid to go to work. With his help, the sophomore class was able to sponsor a very successful Valentine's Day dance. Spring rolled around all too quickly, bringing the summer along with it. Time flew by and we became juniors. All 172 of us were upperclassmen. Leading us into the big time were: Jack Hammer, President; Meg Stone, Vice President; Tim Halverson, Secretary; and Mark Read, Treasurer. Amy Marta was our Badger Girl and Jack Hammer was our Badger Boy. Once again, the Homecoming activities began. For the first time, we had a disastrous float. But we managed to have a great time anyway. The theme was Trash the Falcons” and that’s exactly what we did to our float. Jack Hammer and Trudy Kopchinski were our class representatives. This particular winter passed slowly. Then came our big occasion — the 1987 Junior Prom! Reigning over the festivities were King John Rydzik and Queen Renee Scherrer. The representatives were Paul Ulrich and Andrea Lauria (co-chairmen), Tim Halverson and Donna Titze, and Dale Mittelstaedt and Tammy Berg. The beautiful decorations of rose, pink, and white and the fantastic entertainment by the Wait helped make this prom one of the most memorable ever. It truly was Almost Paradise,” as the theme stated. Finally we were seniors! Now we could sit back and watch the freshmen and everyone else go through the things we were experts at by this time. Leading the 164 members of the class of '88 through our final year were: Dale Mittelstaedt, President; Jack Hammer, Vice President; Gretchen Davidson, Secretary; and Meg Stone, Treasurer. The class was also very fortunate to receive Cathy Coto, Charmaine Collins, and Henrik Sjoberg as our AFS students. Once again, the Homecoming festivities began. We had a disastrous float — but this year, we had an excuse. Senioritis” was already setting in. The Wolverines lost to the Whitewater Whippets with a score of 41-14. In spite of this, our senior Homecoming was a success. Homecoming King and Queen were Pat Eulgen and Lucy Sanchez. Henrik Sjoberg and Tammy Berg represented our Senior Class. Our final year is drawing to a close and graduation is right around the corner. We realize how very quickly the past four years went by. On May 29, 1988, our class closed not only the doors to high school, but also a door that has many memories of good times and close friendships behind it. We can leave with the knowledge that we can always hold these memories close, and we will always . . . Remember. 1
