r w, 7 n L- A. .1 DEDICATION We, the class of '44, wish to dedicate this Orbit to all our friends and comrades who have joined the ranks in defense of our great land, the home of the Four Free- doms. We believe that these boys are carrying out their duties in a more intelli- gent and courageous manner today be- cause of the years they have spent in study and taking an active part in the outside activities presented by our high school. It is with deepest respect and gratitude that We salute WatertoWn's fighting men Wherever they may be. In this building We of the senior class see the symbol of the happiness and knowledge We have acquired during our high school years. We've Worked hard here to absorb every bit of learning We were able, so that We might become better citizens in the America of today and better builders of the postwar World of tomorrow. 5 3-1-1iL 1- il- . 1 Administration s ADMINISTRATION The administration is our guiding light to education leading us into the harbor oi learning just as our gallant Lady of Liberty stands on guard at the entrance to the land of the Four Freedoms. It is this excellent leadership that will equip today's students with the knowledge and foresight to meet the challenge to a better and happier post- War World. 7 BOARD OF EDUCATION 1943-1944 A. I.

Iohn Keck, Dorothy Semrich, Ioyce Wendorff, and Ioan Sabin composed the team selected to represent the school. Only two practice tournaments were at- tended due to travel restrictions, at Mar- quette and Wisconsin High Schools. The District Tournament was held at Madison on February 12. These inexperienced debaters ma d e rapid progress during the season in spite of the lack of the usual tournament com- petition and proved to be a strong match for other schools' teams with two and three years experience. BEGINNING DEBATERS This group was made up of twenty freshmen and sophomores who partici- pated in inter-squad debates on the reg- ular state question for this year. The most promising talent which the local school has had for the past five year at this younger level was uncovered this year. O. I. C. The Oratory Improvement Club mem- bers carried on their usual program of practice orations a n d public speaking. Valuable experience was gained for de- bate and spring forensics.

This season saw a whole new squad for the Goslings. Last year's veterans were Chuck Zoelle, Ken Saniter, Carl Raue, and Iim Barry. Watertown scored its first touchdown in the opening quarter when Neu- bauer drove over center from the one yard line after a long aerial from Schliewe to Zoelle had carried the ball deep into enemy territory. Zoelle converted. The second touchdown, in the last period, came as a result of a poor Ripon punt. Schliewe scored from the six just four plays later. Zoel1e's at- tempt for the extra point was blocked. The second team saw action in the second quarter. Stallman broke away for a long run only to have the play nullified by an offside penalty. In the last period, Barry intercepted a pass on the 36 and returned it to the Ripon 16 as the game ended. We met our new cheerleaders: Helen Strohbusch, Arlet Kasten, Lor- raine Reinhard, Don Knick, and lack Benzel. WATERTOWN 28, FORT ATKINSON 13 A newcomer, Don Neubauer, launched the game early in the first quarter. In a series of five plays, he carried the ball from Watertown's 44 to Fort's 8. Checki scored and Zoelle converted. Watertown 7, Fort 0. A Fort fumble on the kickoff gave Watertown the opportunity for the second mark. In two plays, Neubauer carried the ball to the 11. Schliewe scored and Zoelle again converted. Watertown 14, Fort 0. A Yackels scored a touchdown for the Reds as the second quarter opened, but the extra point failed. Yackels took advantage of a poor Gosling's pass and lugged it over in two plays. He made the extra point. Watertown 14, Fort 13. The same misfortune gave Watertown the ball a moment later. A pass from Schliewe to Zoelle ran the Gosling's score up to 20. Zoelle converted. Watertown 21, Fort 13. y ' Schliewe circled the left end for a touchdown. Zoelle converted. Water- town 28, Fort 13. WATERTOWN 19. MARINETTE 27 Zoelle kicked off to open the game. Via five plays, Kronquist, right half, and Girard, left half, carried the pigskin over for a touchdown. Girard converted. Marinette 7, Watertown 0. Then the Goslings took charge of things. Neubauer cracked thru the line for 20. The already famous Sch1iewe to Zoelle came into play, and Watertown scored. Zoelle converted. Water- town 7, Marinette 7. The Goslings heldfthe Mariners in check for the first part of three periods. Neubauer and Stallman carried the ball deep into the Mar- iner's territory, where the famous Schliewe to Zoelle scored again. There were two attempts for the extra point by Zoelle. On the first successful one, Watertown was offside. The second missed by inches. Watertown 13, Mar- inette 7. On the following play, Schliewe intercepted a Marine pass. Barry lugged the ball to the Mariner's 21 before he was downed. Neubauer cracked through the center in two plays for a score. Zoel1e's conversion was wide. Watertown 19, Marinette 7. By a series of fumbles on the part of the Goslings, Marinette marched to a touchdown. The extra point was good. Watertown 19, Marinette 14. With another Watertown fumble, Marinette went over again. Girard converted. Watertown 19, Marinette 21. By brilliant playing on the part of the Marines, another touchdown was scored. The conversion failed. Watertown 19, Marinette 27. Watertown took over when the Marines fumbled. Swift work brought the Goslings to the Mar- inette one-yard line as the game ended. 60 WATERTOWN 7. EDGEWOOD 13 The Goslings' playing in the game showed an apparent let-down from the previous game. The blocking was loose, and the tackling shaky. Two of our best men were put on the injured list. They were Chuck Hinterberg and Gordon Checki. Iim Barry, another regular, did his playing from the bench as a result of a previous injury. The first quarter was a nip-and-tuck affair with neither side scoring. In the second quarter, the Goslings smashed their way to a touchdown. Neu- bauer and Checki, who was injured during the play, drove to the Edgewood eleven's 19. A Schliewe to Zoel1e scored. Zoelle converted bringing the Goslings to their short lived lead of 7 to 0. After several passes failed, the Edgewood team drove hard and pulled a quarter back sneak play which scored. A completed pass from Knipschield to Heileman made good the extra point. Watertown 7, Edgewood 7. When Watertown was forced to boot, the Edgewood team, in two spec- tacular plays, raced for another touchdown. The attempt for the extra point failed. The score then stood: Watertown 7, Edgewood 13. Edgewood laid off the passes and kept strictly to ground work, which the Goslings kept in check. Watertown penetrated to the Edgewood 34, but the invaders held, forcing Watertown to boot. The game ended with Edge- wood in possession of the ball on the Gosling's 10 yard line. WATERTOWN 47, PORTAGE 7 After a two-week's lull, the Goslings were red hot. Every department was clicking in a way we like to see. The Blues were complete masters of the game from start to finish. Because of injuries, the Blues had a whole new team. positions were shifted, and fellows who had seen little action, played a game of veterans. Marvin Mohr, a newcomer, made a brilliant 71 yard run for one touchdown in the first quarter, and scored another in the final period. lim Wenck held down his end like a veteran. It looked bad for the Blues when Portage recovered a Watertown fumble and raced to a touchdown. The extra point was good. Watertown 0, Portage 7. Neubauer was injured in the kickoff. Their lead was short-lived, however, as the Goslings promptly took over. Schliewe, Storbeck, and Zoelle combined their efforts for a touchdown. Zoelle converted. Watertown 7, Portage 7. The Schliewe to Zoelle combination accounted for our second tally. Zoelle's attempted conversion failed. Watertown 13, Portage 7. Mohr promptly did a brilliant bit of broken field running for 71 yards for another touchdown. Zoelle converted. Watertown 20, Portage 7. By means of passes, Portage gained the Watertown's 5, where Zoelle recovered a fumble. The Goslings suffered a setback for holding, but Stor- beck masterfully made up for it. Schliewe tossed an aerial to Zoelle who raced 30 yards for another tally. The conversion was wide. Watertown 26, Portage 7. A 22 yard dash by Saniter on a reverse put the ball on Portage's 14 where Schliewe circled left-end to tally. Zoelle converted. Watertown 33. Portage 7. From here on the second stringers took charge. Madson made the set- up for the first of their two touchdowns. Mohr made the touchdowns and Stall- man took a pass for the extra point. Watertown 40, Portage 7. The Goslings recovered a blocked punt, and in two plays Stallman tal- lied. Schumann made the extra point. Watertown 47, Portage 7. WATERTOWN 20. MADISON EAST 6 This surprise victory for an injury-ridden Blue team, constituted a per- fect home-coming game. The fellows showed up like stars in their new posi- tions. Raue, Doering, Tester, Lehtoma, and Wenck displayed some fine foot- ball in the line and backfield-Schliewe, Storbeck, K. Saniter, and Neubauer did an excellent piece of running. 61 FCOTBALL LETTERMEN Through a series of ups and downs in which every member of the team showed himself to be a hard-hitting ace, the Goslings plunged over for a touch- down. Watertown 6, Madison East 0. Raue intercepted a Madison East pass, but the Blues promptly lost the ball when Somerville intercepted a pass and raced 50 yards to a touchdown. The conversion was wide. Watertown 6, Madison East 6. The next tally was obtained by the excellent showing of every man on the team. Barry went over for the extra point. Watertown 13, Madison East 6. The final score was a repitition of the grim determination of the Goslings to make it a successful homecoming game. It was Barry who toted the ball over and made the extra point. Watertown 20, Madison East 6. The game ended with the East team in possession of the ball on the Gos- lings' 20 yard line. WATERTOWN 25, BEAVER DAM 12 The Goslings concluded a highly successful season defeating Beaver Dam for another victory of the season. The game marked the end of grid careers for ten Watertown Hi seniors-only seven saw action for injuries still shelved Zoelle, Hinterberg, and Checki. Watertown's attack had the foe completely baffled as we marched down the field time and again to carry the pigskin across the goal line. Bob Schliewe, spearhead of many a Watertown touchdown assault, was 62 WF? N FOOTBALL LETTERMEN hampered by leg business and couldn't get into top operational form. Don Neubauer sparked most of the scoring pushes. He produced three touchdowns, one on a brilliant 51 yard dash through the entire Beaver Dam team. Back- field support from Ken Saniter and Paul Storbeck was excellent. ZOELLE AND SANITER CO-CAPTAINS OF HIGH GRID TEAM Charles Zoelle and Ken Saniter, both service veterans of three years standing in high school grid ranks, were named honorary co-captains for 1943 by their lettermen team mates. Zoelle perfonning at end, developed into one of the best pass receivers Watertown High has had and was a great defensive end as well. Besides his regular line chores, he attended the placement kicking and this year, to punt- ing. Saniter spent most of his three years starring at tackle, but late this sea- son was shifted into the blocking back position and performed brilliantly in his new role. He 'was a deadly blocker and opened the way for many a long run by his mates. P. S. We appreciate Delos Hinze for his responsibility of keeping the boys' ears clean-or should we just say Thanks Delos, you were a swell man- ager. 63 A BASKETBALL SQUAD Top Row-Schumann, Stallman, Schmidt, Gerth, Herold Hmze Bottom Row-Barry, Zoelle, Coach Kessler, Hinterberg Strohbusch A BASKETBALL SQUAD Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Total 606 402 Lost 3: Won 14 Season Record Beaver Dam Edgewood Horicon Mayville Wauwatosa Edgewood Lake Mills 7 Fort Atkinson Jefferson I-Ioricon Lake Mills Iefferson West Allis Central Fort Atkinson Wauwatosa Mayville Waupun B BASKETBALL SQUAD Top Row-Iurick, Rehbaum, Doering Bottom Row-Engelbrecht, Zimmerman, Coach Arnold Kressin Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Watertown Won 8: Lost 5 Tester Knot on picture?

The green Beavers were no match for Kessler's experienced cagers and never were in the ball game. H2Otown's work on the rebounds was out and out brilliant in all but the last closing min- utes of the game, and the Blue team controlled the ball throughout. The invaders were weak in the basket shooting and seldom came near the hoop when they did get a crack at it. They man- ufactured only three baskets during the course of the evening. The work of Barry and Hinterberg was outstanding for Watertown. Hinterberg broke in nicely for short shots at the bucket and gobbled up rebounds off both boards. Barry's ball handling was no less excellent. Strohbusch played nice offensive ball at center. Zoelle, counted on for some scoring, played with a bandaged hand and couldn't regain the effectiveness that made him high scorer last season. EDGEWOOD BEATS WATERTOWN Watertown High dropped a 29-23 decision to Edgewood in the game played at Madison. The Edgewood team started strongly and rolled up a 20 to 7 margin at the half. Watertown out- scored the Crusaders, 16 points to 9 in the second half but the Blues couldn't muster quite enough power to overcome that early margin. A Barry showed fine defensive ability and Schumann's shooting was excellent. Charley Zoelle, still bothered by a football injury, came up with a great ball game and showed that he'd be in top shape in another week. WATERTOWN TRIPS HORICON The Horicon team was at free strength and, at many stages of the game, matched the Goslings shot for shot. Both teams scored eleven times from the floor, but the Goslings success at the free throw line provided the margin of victory. Watertown made ten free throws, again as many as Horicon tallied. Charley Hinterberg, the big bad man of the back court, sparked the Watertown five to victory. Charley was chalked up for three fouls when he was removed for a rest. Horicon promptly closed the scoring gap. Inserted into the game again in the second half, Hinterberg cut loose with some deadly basket shooting plus five gift shots to restore the Goslings' work margin. Don Gerth played another fine floor game, but couldn't find the bucket and missed several set-up shots. WATERTOWN DEFEATS MAYVILLE l26-16l A Watertown team that trailed by a 11-5 margin at the half came back with a powerful assault to defeat a stubborn Mayville High five 26-16. T Mayville refused to give ground before the taller Blue cagers and maintained its margin through the first two periods of play largely on the strength of its effective work from the free throw line. I The second half, however, was another story. Watertown forged ahead in the third quarter, 17-16, mainly on the strength of some long range shooting of lim Barry, then rolled to victory as Mayville was held scoreless in the final frame. Outstanding in the Goslings' victory was Don Gerth and Hugo Schmidt. Charley Hinter- berg played a strong rebound game. Zoelle, his running mate at guard, was shifted to forward in the late stages of the contest and led the winning offense. WATERTOWN 22. WAUWATOSA 32 The Blue Five engaged a sharp Wauwatosa squad in our own gym Dec. 21. The invaders had lightning footwork, dead eyes for the basket, and some brilliant but confusing plays. They started out in a royal fashion, scoring a basket a minute for the first five or six minutes of play. After a baffling five minutes, the Blues really started fighting. It was a nip-and-tuck game, bringing to show a brilliant performance on the part of every player. For a while it looked as though the Blues might be able to chalk the game up as a vic- tory, but the invaders enjoyed another shooting spree, which tipped the scales in their favor. This was a fast game with the ball going from one end of the gym to the other in a ping- pong fashion. 66 WATERTOWN 40. EDGEWOOD 23 After an earlier defeat at the hands of the Edgewood boys, the Blues went into the battle with the grim determination to show the invaders a thing or two. ' The game itself was much closer than the score indicates. It was a fast game. In the last half Dead-Eye CHintal started showing the invaders how to sink 'em. He dropped them in from all spots on the floor. Gerth, Barry, Zola, Schumann, and the 'subs all played a singularly impres- sive game. The Edgewood team and fans who arrived amid noisy expectation departed quite silently. I heard this remark from one of the opponents: That was a good game. We really had to fight for every point we made. There was not only rivalry on the floor but also from the bleachers. Each time had the whole-hearted support of its fellow school members. Each Watertown cheer was returned by one of the invaders and vise-versa. WATERTOWN 35, LAKE MILLS 7 Watertown literally slaughtered a weak Lake Mills five. It was the Blues' game from the start to the finish. The Goslings played brilliant ball-a fast and witty game. By their swift but casual manner, they had the Lake Mills five baffled much of the time. It would be unfair to single out any player for praise, as each man played a wonderful game. Don Gerth and Hinta continually snatched the ball from the invaders' hands, and then tallied. Hinta sank a couple of beautiful long shots. Gerth sank his share of short shots. lim Barry played a beautiful game, taking possession of the ball and sinking it from any spot on the floor with his one-handed push shots. Zola, of course, played a fine game. Eddie Herold was also on . He thrilled the crowd with a beautiful, graceful overhead shot which went through the hoop without touching the rim. That was really a perfect swan arch, Eddie! Lake Mills had only one outstanding play. They took the ball out under the Blues' bas- ket. There was one pass-to a fellow stationed under their own basket, who promptly dropped it in. GOSLINGS BEAT FORT ATKINSON C37-25l Coach Fred Kessler's Watertown High cagers scored their sixth victory when they swept over Fort Atkinson on the latter's floor, 37-25. The Goslings grabbed the lead at the beginning and were never headed by the Southern Ten conference team. The Goslings, though again in good form, were not able to attain the peak performance they displayed against Edgewood. Both teams, however, were slowed down considerably by close refereeing. Eleven misses were recorded for each from the foul line. Two Watertown play- ers were ejected from the game on fouls, and two others had three personals when the game ended. Charley Zoelle found the range and dumped in six goals and a pair of shots to pace both squads scoring. Gerth and Hinterberg were the other heavy scorers for the Watertown five. WATERTOWN 49. IEFFERSON 19 The first quarter pointed to a close game. Both teams had fast floor work. However, in the second quarter, the Blues pulled away from the invaders and then proceeded to widen the gap throughout. the entire game. Iohnny Schumann played a brilliant game scoring 12 points. The whole team was really clicking. Hinta, Zola, Barry, Gerth, and the substitutes did a good deal of scoring for themselves. Barry made a beautiful long, over-head shot, which whisked through the basket without even touching the rim. Hinta, Zola, and Gerth were picking off the rebounds in fine shape. The invaders attack bogged down after the first quarter. After that their energy seemed to come in spurts. 67 WATERTOWN DEFEATS HORICON 136-13l Coach Kessler's Watertown High cagers put 'er in high gear and swept over a pre- viously unbeaten Horicon team, 36-13. It was Watertown's ball game. There was never any doubt about the outcome from the starting whistle. Horicon, playing with only one senior in the lineup and with a regular guard out of com- petition due to illness, failed to show any offensive power against the tightly-knitted Goslings' defense and got lost in its own defensive maze time and again. Watertown finally displayed some of its real talent. Its passing was crisp, its shooting good, and its defensive play tight. Little Iohnny Schumann, Gosling guard, put on a fine show of shooting and brilliant floor play. Charley Zoelle netted 8 points and did some expert feeding to mates under the hoop. The rebound work of Charley Hinterberg was never better, and this de- spite the fact that Horicon had a lamppost center posted under the bucket much of the time. Barry and Gerth, the other two starters, were impressive, too. Both patted 3 goals from the floor and fitted well into team play. WATERTOWN 38, LAKE MILLS 27 This second game the Goslings played with the Lake team was a closer one than the first tilt. The Lake Boys switched their zone defense for a man-to-man defense, but were still un- able to halt the flow of Watertown baskets. Each Gosling scored at least three times from the floor. Coach Kessler used only five men throughout the entire game. Hinta was high scorer with ll points. Zola had 9, and Barry, Gerth, and Schumann each had 6. The Goslings had charge of the game throughout. They maintained and increased their lead during the entire game. After a pretty successful series, all Watertown High is looking for- ward to a very successful season. WATERTOWN DEFEATS IEFFERSON 47-31 This is Watertown's record win over the county seat team. Watertown took the floor without one of its regulars. Zoelle, who was in Milwaukee to be sworn into the naval reserve, was unable to be present to take part in the game. The game was nip-and-tuck for the first half. In the second half, however, Watertown began to pull away, the score being 31 to 25 at the end of the third period. Schumann, with seven field goals and two free throws, for a total of 16 points, was out- standing for the Blue and Whites. Two of the regulars were out on personals before the game ended. WATERTOWN 46. WEST ALLIS CENTRAL 19 Any expectations of a close game were soon shattered. The Blue Five literally walked all over the invaders. Watertown was really in tip-top shape for this game. Each player played a singularly impressive game. Zola leading the scorers with 18 points. Don Gerth was a close second. Hinta and Schumann also played brilliant ball. In the last quarter, Coach Kessler put in all the subs who held their own, score for score, with the opponents. With a number of victories under their belts, the Blues look forward with great expecta- tions to the remaining five games. WATERTOWN BEATS FORT ATKINSON f43-23l Lanky Charley Zoelle, a great athlete by the measure of any sports fan's yard stick, poured in 21 points to pace Watertown High to its second victory of the season over Fort Atkinson, 43-23. Zoelle, always a good player, was out-and-out great. He scored goals on every type of shot, fed his mates with brilliant passing, and worked the rebounds as if he were alone on the floor. It was his deadly shooting that gave Watertown its margin, in the tight first half, and his shooting that stretched that lead to safety in the second half. The big forward's work was abetted by the well-done choices of his teammates. Iim Barry, who has had trouble breaking a scoring jinx, finally broke it as he sank four goals and a gift shot. Don Gerth, the third front line performer, scored five points and stole enough Fort At- kinson passes to win two ball games. The weakness of Fort's attack can be attributed directly to the rebound work of the two Gosling guards, Schumann and Hinterberg. Fort did not score a basket on a rebound and seldom got the ball once it had fired at the goal. 68 WATERTOWN 33. WAUWATOSA 49 Number 13, regarded freely in sport circles as the jinx numeral , proved to be just that for Coach Kessler's Watertown High cagers. This was our second defeat at the hands of the classy Tosa team, our third defeat of the season. , The Goslings were hampered by close refereeing-Zoelle acquiring three fouls early in the game. Hinta, veteran guard, was ousted on four fouls early in the third period. Herold, our best front line replacement, was left at home because of an injury. Charley Zoelle again paced the Goslings with 11 points. GOSLINGS TROUNCE MAYVILLE-43 to 23 Watertown High School's basketball team ran its victory string to 13 by defeating the Mayville High team, in the closing home test, 43 to 23. It was Watertown's second victory over Mayville this season and was accomplished more easily than the first one. Six seniors appeared before the home town spectators for the last time. They are Zoelle. Hinterberg, Gerth, Strohbusch, Barry, and Schmidt. Zoelle and Barry played the entire contest. and Zoelle racked up 20 points to again pace individual scores. The Goslings swung action against Mayville. They couldn't find the range either from the floor or the foul line and three minutes of play elapsed before Gerth finally connected on a long push shot. Zoelle dumped in a sleeper. Gerth followed with two gift shots. Barry knotted the count at 7 points with a charity toss as the period closed. WATERTOWN 23. WAUPUN 28 The Goslings closed their season with a defeat at the hands of the Waupun High team. We may have a chance to square this account in a tilt in the regional toumament at Mayville. This defeat gave Watertown a record of 13 victories and 4 losses for the season. The Blue Five were 'off in their playing. At the half, however, the home team lead the prison city five 14-13. Charley Zoelle produced 12 points to lead Watertown scoring, matching that of Core and Amthor of Waupun. 69 REGIONAL TOURNAMENT WATERTOWN CAGERS NIP ROSENDALE. 39-36 IThursday. March 2, 1944l Watertown high school cagers got safely by their first contest in the Mayville regional tournament by defeating a tough Rosendale team, 39-36. The Rosendale five stuck with Watertown like leeches and it was only the work of the veteran Barry that turned the trick for Watertown. Zoelle and Hinterberg were benched on fouls with 10 minutes of play remaining in the game. It was here that Barry took charge, controlling rebounds off both boards, and dumping in 9 points to keep the Goslings ahead. Every member of the squad played an outstanding game, with Gerth and Zoelle leading the scoring with 10 points each. WATERTOWN WHIPS WEST BEND HIGH. 29-28 IFriday. March 3. 19441 The aspect of the Goslings' victory took on a story book finish, with Chuck Hinterberg, Don Gerth, and Johnny Schumann wearing the laurels. The Goslings, after holding a lead through most of the game, got shoved into the rear when a West Bend rally gave the Benders a 28 to 24 margin with one minute to play left. It looked like our geese fthe team and victory? were cooked, but in the final one minute of play, Chuck Hinterberg swished one of his long-range specials through the net. Then, with 30 second remaining, Don Gerth raced in to steal a West Bend pass. Recovering quickly, he passed to Schumann and Iohnny dumped it into the basket. Fouled while shooting, Iohnny stepped to the free throw line and sank the gift shot to win the ball game. Amid cheers and dancing on the part of the players and the Watertown fans, a jubilant Watertown five left the floor to return for a bout with Columbus for the regional title. WATERTOWN CAPTURES REGIONAL TITLE FOR SECOND CONSECUTIVE YEAR. BEATING COLUMBUS, 53-41 lSaturday, March 4, 19445 Via three victories, Columbus and Watertown met on the floor to battle for the Regional crown. The Goslings, recuperating after a tough game with West Bend, showed supremecy throughout the whole evening by continually broadening the gap between the Columbus five and their own scores. 70 ,, , T ,, Columbus started the championship fracas as if it might make a ball game of it, grabbing a 3 to O lead on Caldwell's gift and Rutherford's bucket, but its attack petered out and never did regain threatening proportions. Gerth and Zoelle scored from the field, but Caldwell knotted the count at four points with another gift shot. A long swisher by Hinterberg put the Goslings ahead and there they stayed. Rutherford scored from the side, but Barry countered with two goals from medium range. Rutherford made four points on a goal and two gifts. Zoelle, with a gift shot, made it 13 to 11 in favor of Watertown at the quarter. From here on in, Watertown kept stretching the margin with little difficulty. They eased up a little in the third period but they still kept up enough steam to maintain their margin. With three Goslings riding on three fouls each, Watertown eased up still further in the final period, and with reserves on the floor, was edged in scoring 10 to 12. The team play of the Goslings was so coordinated that no one man stood out above the others. Zoelle again paced scorers with 20 points, Gerth following with 14. Barry, assigned to stop Caldwell, did a commendable job and collected 5 points to boot. Hinterberg and Schumann Kept the Goslings' attack rolling as they swept rebounds off the backboards and moved up court to guide the offense. The team was awarded certificates which will be exchangeable for place medals when metal is made available for their manufacture. SECTION AL TOURNAMENT WATERTOWN BOWS TO WAUKESHA. 39-23 fFriday. March 10. 1944l Both teams started fast and play was tight throughout the initial period. Watertown drove hard to tie the count at 10 points near the end of the quarter, but Waukesha popped in two short shots to stretch its advantage to 14-10 as the whistle blew. Two free throws by Zoelle were all that the Goslings could muster in the second period while Waukesha ran its count to 21. Stirred to combat heat during the rest period, Watertown came back to outscore Waukesha 9-6 in the third quarter. Then came the big collapse, with Waukesha netting 12 points to Watertown's 2. Zoelle led scorers of both teams with 14 points. Hinterberg, whose long shooting was expected to draw out the defense, had difficulty in finding the backboard and produced success- fully from the floor only once. HINTERBERG CAPTAIN Guard, Charley Hinterberg, a veteran of two years, added a final laurel to his crown when he was selected by his fellow lettermen as captain of the basketball team. Charley, known for his long shots, Wound up a brilliant year of ball playing. His continual persistence in fighting 'til the end held the team together through many a tough game. When going was rough and close, we could count on Hinta for his punch and points. Congratulations on a successful season, Coach Kessler, Charley Hinter- berg, and a really super basketball squad. 71 BASKETBALL LETTERMEN 50 yd. dash-6.1 IT INTERCLASS TRACK MEET-1943 lim Barry-18 pts. 1. lst 880 yd. 2. lst discus 3.

K I x Literature N v vcr vwluv LITERATURE We are striving today for one ot the most vital factors to our democratic nation: free- dom to speak and print what is engraved on the hearts and minds of us all. Perhaps in this brief section we will be able to show you that the youth of today are seriously thinking and planning for that time when there will be no more restrictions placed on the writers who would bring us the whole truth about the World in which we live. 77 LIBERTY OR DEATH Carol Landsverk '44. First Prize-Literature Contest That title has significance, hasn't it? You don't have to think too long or too hard before you recall its origin. I really wouldn't have to tell you-but I will. It was said by one of our famous patriots away back when we were fighting for independence. Sure! We always have to fight for what we want to gain-we have to fight to keep it too. That's the same way Patrick Henry felt when he said, Give me liberty or give me death! I suppose that sounds awfully dramatic to some of our contented, self-centered Americans. Oh! I'm not running down the Americans. I think they're wonderful! I think America is best! You see-I'm an American. Those words of Patrick Henry meant something to the patriots. It told briefly, dynamically, how they felt. They didn't want to be pushed around- commanded. They didn't want to be commanders or isolationists either. They just wanted to be free people-to think and act for themselves. You and I can't understand the full significauce of Henry's speech. We've always had our liberty. But Americans aren't the only people who love freedom. If we just said, Aw!! I don't give a hoot! , where do you think we would be? There would always be some big boy, some Hitler, some Tojo to take advantage of the peoples' self-satisfction. If we could only-today-look down upon the world and see how much people everywhere really want freedom, we'd realize Patrick Henry's words weren't just 18th Century, they were bigger than that. We would look down upon America and Europe, especially we'd look down upon Europe. It's so far from the United States, so different, that it would mag- netically draw our gaze to it. But is it so different? What do you think you'd see over there? I'll tell you. You'd see Patrick Henrys---hundreds, thousands, millions of Patrick Henrys. You'd see our soldiers, your own son, the neighbor boy: they're all Patrick Henrys. Maybe they didn't say it, but they're living it, aren't they? Give me liberty or give me death! You'd see the underground-French, Italian, Slovakian, all of them-all trying to be free people, to free others. They are Patrick Henry. Maybe they didn't say it, but they-'re living it, aren't they? Give me liberty or give me death! I needn't mention how death would come. You know already. You read the papers, hear the radio. But do you know? I don't know, how could I know? I'm one of the Americans who has always been free-free from everything. I never worry that someone will come into my home and take me away if I say or do something that isn't liked by others. I don't know the fear, and torture, and death that results. You see -I'm one of the descendents of the followers of a man who said, Give me liberty or give me death! He said it for me, he said it for my ancestors. They followed him-gained their liberty-I've always had my liberty, so how could I know other than what I've read and heard, of death or near death? But we know it comes. Then you'd look down on the farmers, the war workers, and what would you see in them? Still more Patrick Henrys! If they didn't want liberty, they wouldn't be producing, working, to keep their boys, our boys, the freedom- loving people equipped to resist an oppressor who wants to take away that liberty-that feeling of freedom. They realize that if they quit, the oppressor will win, and then theirs will be, not liberty, but death or a comparable fate. Yes! we're all Patrick Henrys. We're all going down in history when history books are again printed. You won't be able to pick out your name, but you'll be able to point to point to his name, Patrick Henry! and say, That's what we were, Patrick Henrys. Here's what he said. Maybe we didn't say it, but we felt it: we lived it. All freedom-loving people feel it! It isn't just an 18th Cen- tury name and speech anymore, it's a symbol. It means FREEDCMX' 78 T' ' THE FOUR FREEDOMS Ioan Brinkman '44. Second Prize-Literature Contest I wandered aimlessly along the narrow sidewalk, not able to keep my thoughts focused anywhere in particular, just walking and thinking, walking and listening. I My feet led me to a noisy intersection: and as I waited there for a stream of cars to pass me by, I heard two men complaining loudly. I only made 588.50 this week, at the munitions plant. I don't know how they expect us to live on that measly amount! I overheard the first one blus- tering. The boys are talking of striking anyday now. Same here, Bill. My wife's been wanting a fur coat ever since I got my last raise. By the time the government deducts for income tax, victory tax and war bonds, I can hardly scrape enough together for that car I've got my eyes on, complained our second good friend and American. I walked on hurriedly, a sinking feeling inside as I thought again of my father fighting in the wind and grime that is Guadalcanal. On and on I wan- dered listening to groups of people on either side as I passed close to them. You can't tell me Russia isn't trying to pull the wool over our eyes. She's probably getting ready to make a secret treaty with the Axis right now, I heard from one direction. I'm telling you that if we let Marion Anderson sing in that national build- ing, it will be the breakdown in our American standards. The Iews are making all themoney in this town. We ought to band together and run them out of the community. They're taking a special offering at church today for the Anny chap- lains. There goes that new hat I wanted so badly. I wanted to stand up to them all right then and there and tell them what I thought of their little petty complaints. I'd say, See here, why do you think my father and your own sons and brothers are over there on foreign soil right now? We Americans believe in freedom of speech, yes, but not talk against our brave allies and fellow Americans. Before my dad left, he called me to him and told why he must leave us. I think his reason was all wrapped around a wonderful promise called the Four Freedoms, freedom from want and fear, and freedom of speech and religion. The way he explained it, we all must work and fight together so that after this terrible war is over, there will be plenty to feed and clothe us all here in America and the Axis-held countries. Our courageous allies, the Russians, Chinese and English, have known the pangs of hunger and want, the horrors of seeing those they love killed by bombings and homes burned as they stood by watching helplessly. The Iews have been prosecuted beyond all endurance having only America to flee to. The last of the four is freedom to worship as we please. Dad says the chaplains are wonderful men who 'will risk their lives many times a day just to be with a dying boy or to soothe a soldier petrified with fear in some remote foxhole. Is it asking too much to help them along just a little? I think not. Maybe you are indignant, wondering what right I have to say these things. You see-there's a gold star in our window tonight. My father died believing in these Four Freedoms . It's up to us to see that they are the fundamentals of every govemment when this war is done. 79 HE MADE IT Allan Goecke '44. Third Prize-Literature Contest The instrument panel glows uncertainly before the sweating cadet. My, how the darkness presses down around him! The cockpit is black, and the panel tells him he is 5,500 feet over a section of the Rocky Mountains. So this is blind flying at its peak, thinks the cadet. Well, only 20 more minutes and the trip should be over. Oh, Oh, what's that? The indi- cator says right bank. The cadet frantically pulls back on the stick to clear a mountain peak which his map says lies in his path. For a second his life is filled with terror-then he collapses limp in his seat. Now a new obstacle looms up: to fly down a mountain pass. The sweat on his forehead breaks out again, his hands grow taut and his face is drawn. Correct drift, little rudder there, steady, steady ooooh he's through. Eight minutes more. Oh, if he could only see the wing tips. But the darkness seems only to get more intense. Now it's time for the landing ap- proach. Start in. Uh, uh, a little nidder and don't overcontrol. Steady, and remember your pattern. Now we'l1 see if those endless hours in a classroom helped. Now's the test! The cadet looks at his instrument panel-those glowing dials aren't dials. They're eyes, watching him. The ship is going over: no! no! don't wrestle with the controls, don't be nervous. He tells himself to calm down, steady. That's it. Swing 'er in: this is it, the landing approach. His eyes strain into the blackness. The altimeter says 1800 feet air-speed 120. Slow er down. Don't stall. Slow, slow. Let's see, flaps or wheels first. Wheels, that's it. He hits the switch, a light blinks on, wheels down, another blink. Flaps down. Altitude 900 feet, steady, a little to the left, steady 600 feet now, 500, 400, 200, 100. The field boundary's near. The runway should be below. Oh, look out! Those trees lining the field. Pull it up, up. Made it. Now quick. That's it. She's settling. You're down, you're down. The cadet lapses into silence and sits like a wrung out rag in the seat. A clump on the wing, the hood on the cockpit flips off and the cadet steps out of the link trainer into the brilliantly lit room. The instructor grins O. K. and the cadet, feeling limp and worn out. wanders from the link room to his barracks. Another phase in training done well. Soon actual flying will come. 80 I OLD MR. MACEFIELD Everyone knew old Mr. Macefield who lived at Thornton's Row. Yes, everyone had heard of this tyrannical old miser. The townspeople remembered when he had put sweet, old Mrs. Larange, who was still his foster mother at the age of one hundred years, out of his house because she couldn't afford to pay the last month's rent. They remembered he threw the boys' new baseball into the fire when it rolled on his grass. Neither had they forgotten how he denounced the church and railled against the public meetings. He'd not smiled within forty years. Within that same length of time, he'd never done an act of kindness. That was the Timothy Macefield everyone knew until Ianuary 17, 1944: and no one saw any reason for him to change. On that fateful night of Ianuary l7th, Mr. Macefield went for his daily walk in the park. When he appeared within sight, everyone else vanished from sight. Who wanted to encounter this terrible old grouch? He sat down on the usual bench and scowled at the whole world. Suddenly his morbid thoughts were interrupted by a loud voice. With a verbal blast of anger on his tongue, he turned to face two young men. For a full two minutes he be- rated them soundly for their disturbing conversation. Finally he ceased. One of the men spoke politely saying, Don't you know this is America? h The sputtering Mr. Macefield demanded, What-how? Get away from ere! One man vanished. The other stared hypnotically. A strange, fore- boding enveloped Mr. Macefield. As this man vanished, too, a loud voice thundered, Timothy Macefield, you're reign of tyranny has been endured long enough. You shall be subjected to some of the same treatment you've meted out to others these last forty years. - What do you mean? roared the tyrant. H Shudt up, hissed an unfamiliar gutteral voice. Von Himmel is com- mg. What! shrieked Macefield looking around to see a strange room and Nazis surrounding him. A haughty, impressive man stalked up. Vy, it's Macefield, snickered the officer. Ve haf heard of how much you are like us. I'm an American, cried the old man. Never did like you, will be glad when America wins this war. What! shrilled the officer, Throw the spy in a concentration camp! He vill die at dawn! f The protesting man was dragged off, and within a few hours he found himself in a concentration camp. Looking around he found it early morning. He had till dawn of the following day. Hundreds of odd wretched people were busily working under the vigilant eyes of huge Nazis. Some young boys turned towards the Nazi. In their eyes he saw fear and pleading. He remem- bered the young boys whose ball he'd taken and felt ashamed. A loud clamor attracted his attention. Turning, he beheld a calm, quiet man carrying a Bible being dragged away. Then he remembered the church he'd denounced. Then he, too, was ordered to work all day. He grew hungry, but no food appeared. He grew tired but the huge Nazis were watching. Suddenly he recalled all his evil and unkind acts. I was a tyrant, and I was trying to suppress my neighbors' liberties. They had a right to speak even though it disturbed me, even as they had a right to build that church, he groaned wearily. If only I could atone for those acts. I'd prove I'm an American. A loud voice thundered, You'll have a chance. Once again Mr. Macefield was sitting on his park bench. He smiled: the smile burst into a laugh. He was in AMERICA! Genevie Grunewald '44 81 THE FOUR FREEDOMS Grandpa! please tell me a story, cried Peter, a little English boy, as he ran up to his grandfather. Mamma says I have to go to bed, but she said that you could tell me just one story. His Grandfather hesitated and then said, Well, all right. Crawl up here on my knee, and I'll tell you a story: but it will be a serious one. So Peter crawled up onto the knee that had been offered, his gradfather lit his pipe and then proceeded to tell the story. Now, once upon a time back in the year 1939 there was a great war. Germany had started out to conquer the world. I don't think the German people really wanted to fight, but they were so influenced by their leaders they thought they were doing right. Their highest leader was a man by the name of Adolph Hitler. Well, finally our country, England, got into the war. Things looked pretty bad for us first, but then the United States got into the scrap, and together we really did a pretty good job against the Germans and their allies, the Iapanese. While the war was being fought, our leader and the leader of the United States got together and made up the Four Freedoms. Now you know what they are. You learned them in school the other day. Well, to get back to the story. these two leaders formed these Four Freedoms so that the people today would- n't have to suffer as some of them did in that last war. v But just what do they mean, Grandpa? broke in Peter. Mean? Well, Peter, take for instance the Freedom of Religion. That means that today the people of Germany can worship as they want and not be told what to do by a dictator. - The Freedom of Speech. That means, Peter, that people all over the world can give voice to their opinions without being thrown into a concentra- tion camp. Freedom from Want and Freedom from Fear-they mean that you and all the other children had enough to eat at supper tonight and will be able to go to bed without having the fear of being bombed before morning comes. So you see, Peter, they have a great deal to do with our life today. Don't ever forget them, but pass them on into the future in order to keep the world at peace. Phyllis Hansen '44 82 FREEDOM I woke up, in America Early one Sunday morn And thought of all the blessings I've enjoyed since I was born. There is freedom of speech and religion And freedom from want and fear. None of which we want to forfeit All of which we hold so dear. Oh, that all the world could go to church And worship as they please, And wake up in the morning And feel their heart at ease. To know that there would be enough To eat and drink and wear. And to speak just what is in their mind Without a single care. For it's that way in America. And this much I know- I wish throughout the whole wide world The torch of freedom might glow! Ioan Schlueter '44 83 TRUE PATRIOTISM AND THE PEACE They buy war bonds and call themselves patriotic. They pledge al- legiance to our flag: they know the national anthem. They know American History: they know and enjoy the Four Freedoms . They call themselves patriotic. But are they patriots? They buy rationed goods without ration points: they pay more than ceiling prices for scarce things. They complain. They have a B or a C card and take advantage of them. They strike for more wages: they send defective material to the boys who are fighting for us. They are draft-dodgers. Yet they call themselves patriotic. What a superficial thing patriotism is! If people keep abusing the Four Freedoms the way they are, if they keep on being selfish, how can we build a new world that will be free from the ravages of war? Yet we let the people who are selfish decide how tomorrow's world will be run. Will they decide things to make the world keep up its present de- structive rate, or will our children be assured of a life of guaranteed peace and security? We will be building a strong foundation for the future only by stop- ping the abuse of the Four Freedoms TODAY! I Tomorrow's world is a challenge to all of us Americans. Let us make sure that the men we send to the peace table will insist on adherance to the Four Freedoms . A Margaret Wonn '44 84 I AIN 'T COMPLAIN ING Whut fu' yo' squawk, yo ole war hawk?

Gordon Borchardt '44 85 YOUR FREEDOM AND HIS You went to church on Sunday morn-- He had chapel on the field. You didn't buy a single bond- He was minus equipment. You strolled beneath a clear blue sky- He waited for an air raid. You bought some clothes, not needed but wanted- He went hungry to feed his comrade. You grumbled 'cause you didn't like the place you were going He Went not knowing Where he was going. You gave your money for a dance- He gave his life for his country. Lenora Moldenhauer '44 86 THE LESSON The woman who entered the door of the corner grocery store was thin and poorly dressed. She must have worked hard all her life. She approached the counter and asked for a loaf of bread. The school girl behind the counter got it for her and asked if there was anything else. Then noticing a very odd, beautiful piece of jewelry, an interlocking chain and anchor made out of wood, said, That is a very odd necklace you have, Madam. The woman brightened and a warm glow came over her face. It was almost pitful to see the eager way she replied, My son made it. He carved it all from one piece of wood. He's in a hospital, now, so he has lots of time to spend. He was in the Battle of the Solomons and was wounded. Oh, but he will get well. Why just last week I had a V-mail letter from him. We are sure to win the war: he says so. The woman paused a moment and then seeing that the girl was still interested said, Would you like to see a picture of him? I have one right here. Isn't he a handsome boy? He's all I've got. The pride in her eyes was wonderful to see. The school girl clerk took the picture and looked at it. She saw a seri- ous-looking young man with eyes that showed character and intelligence. There was a marked resemblance between this young soldier and the woman standing before her. The woman continued, That picture was taken the last time he was home on a furlough, about six months ago. Now I put all the money I can into War Bonds. It's not very much, but if it will help to bring my son home, it is worth it. He buys bonds every month too. He's a good boy. D Yes, Madam, I'm sure he is. The girl handed the picture back. With boys like that, we will win the war. The woman took the picture, carefully put it in her purse: and then straightened and said, How much is that, please? She paid for her purchase and said I hope I haven't bothered you with all this talking. Only you seemed so interested. You'd have liked my son. I'm sure you have taught me something. Thank you and good bye. The woman went out, and the girl turned back once more to the tiresome task of marking ration points on cans. Strangely enough, it did not seem so tiresome or useless anymore.

'89 , ONCE UPON A GYM PERIOD It is quite a common occurrence nowadays to see a delicate young thing roll up her Sloppy Ioe sweater sleeves to display a firm and well-rounded-- -1-rock of muscle. Where did it all come from? Draw up a little closer and I shall tell you! It all began when Mrs. Carpenter came. She's our cute blond gym teacher, you know. Yes, she's our gym teacher!! Here's what a pleasant bout of gym is like: We all fall in--to our gym suits and waddle-I mean go out to the gym. Here, to the suggestion of LINE UP!!!, we all dutifully line up. Then we rattle off our numbers for roll call. Absences always annoy Mrs. Carpenter so we answer whether we are there or not. Every day she inspects us to see if we dress right . Then of course we march. As soon as everyone has her feet moving when they should, Carpenter suggests we DUCK WADDLE, YOU LUGS! . So we obediently sag to the floor and go around and around and around the gym. Then Carp suggests we make like our ancestors. However, we don't have tails so we must navigate on our hands and feet. Of course there's always that little number called the crab walk. fNone of these exercises are strenuous, you understand.l There are a few other of our little animal friends we mimic such as rabbits, bullfrogs, horses, etc. After warming up we have---more exercises. Familiar phrases and words: Up! Kick! Roll! Roll! Roll! Roll! Stretch! Relax! Pinch! Re- lax! Take a breath! Let it out! Swing! Swing! To the left! To the right! To the other side, roll! QOnce she made a mistake and said: To the other stomach, roll! l I Also--there are such things as relays! Need I say more?? And you jitterbugs--you think that's strenuous! Silly kids. After a session of square dances, reels, polkas, schottish, circles, etc. I am sure you see our point of view. Finally Carp says: Run around the gym Cas if we are still standing on our feetl a half dozen times. Then, at long last the awaited word came--dis- missed!! But that's not all-and then-and then-a better than ever SHOWER! To make sure we took our showers, Carp comes around and smells of us. If we smell sweet and fragrant-okay. Otherwise, ahem. And finally the class bell rings and we lamely drag ourselves up the stairs. And that's the history of those muscles the gals are so proudly dis- playing. THE FOUR FREEDOMS tall rights reservedl We meet a nice gal, but she has a steady. Our freedom from want is gone already. We come to school beginning the year. And that is the end of our freedom from fear. Our freedom of worship comes to an end When the one girl we worshipped walks off with a friend. But we meet a new girl, who's really a peach And start life anew, using freedom of speech. 90 FITTIN' SONGS Why Do I Love You A Big Night Tonight You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight Song ot India Wait tor the Wagon Then You'll Remember Me I Don't Want to Play in Your Yard School Days Iingle Bells Let the Rest of the World Go By Comrades Always Take Mother's Advice Meet Me by Moonlight Alone Daddy Wouldn't Buy Me a Bow-Wow That Old Gang of Mine A'Hunting We Will Go And the Band Played On Our Boys Will Shine Tonight Iohnny Doughboy Hail!
