But when we search deep into our hearts, we find that here we have spent a huge portion of our lives, and here We have laid the deep foundations on which we will build throughout life. In- Wardly, we all have a deep attachment to this building, and it is with a sigh and a tear that we turn our backs on that red brick school, as we go forward into life. 'A THE ORBIT f-J Gur sincere thanks and ever- lasting gratitude to a faculty who have taught us patiently and capably, the knowledge of generations.

We have come a long way since then, haven't we? Yes, a long way from the first Ford Cars and the Alaskan gold rush, until we've come to a great new age-the Atomic Age, where one bomb can kill thousands of people and make our inventions, discoveries, work, and plans for a better world seem a little ironic. Past citizens of the world came forth and tried to live happily and securely in a peaceful world, but most genera- tions failed miserably in keeping peace. Even in those 'Gay Ninety days, we see that Turkey declared war on Russia, and the United States entered war with Spain. During the first years of the great twentieth century there were the Russo-Iapanese War and World War I. Then came the glorious, wonderful, long-hoped for peace and a plan that was expected to put an end to world strife. Somehow, though, the United States felt it just could not en- ter into this plan that might take some of her sovereignty away, and the League never had the power and support to succeed. The people of the world in the next years must have been too busy enjoying peace and wanting it too bad- ly: or they were too dumb to realize what was happening. Benito Mussolini came into power, Hitler reanned Germany and signed false pacts: and the laps started aggression in Asia. Then, Boom!-all these things exploded in the face of the people, and you have World War II. Now, it is coming to our turn, yours and mine, to make a success of peace. We have got to keep our eyes wide open every second so that we do not have bombs exploding in our faces. Since people rule in a Democracy, we have to do it right. We have everything handed to us on a silver platter, because we are starting out with a good government and peace. We must keep watch over those countries that are starting with new governments and new freedoms so that we can correct it if they turn down the wrong road. Maybe, in another fifty years, someone might, if times have not changed too much, use our teen age youth as a theme for their annual in something called Those Astonishing Forties . What will they say has happened during those years? Let us not have an epitaph like that of the last fifty years. Remember our turn next!

As we left the building at 3:40 with anticipations of a full week- end of homecoming activities, we were greeted with a motley scene of floats nearing completion. More enthusiasm was created as a result of the Iunior Chamber of Commerce announcing that they would award prizes for the most outstanding floats. Amid the cries of, More paint over here , Gimme the Scotch tape , Hey, who's got the hammer , and How will we ever finish by 7 o'clock , the trucks were slowly converted into eye-catching floats. One of the groups who had an over-supply of blue paper even sold it at black mar- ket prices. At 7 o'c1ock floats were in position, and with the high school band taking the lead, the parade got under way. The parade wound through the downtown district and back up to Wash- ington Park, where a large bonfire had already been started. The cheer leaders led yells for the team and coaches. Coach Landsverk guaranteed a victory for the big game. Fri. at 7:45, before the cheering crowd of spectators, the game got off to a fighting start: The team went forward to give us the victory we were count- mg on. ' At the half, the Iaycees announced the winning floats, with Miss Ott's homeroom taking the S10 prize, Miss Kimball's homeroom taking the S8 prize, Mr. Landsverk's and Mr. Herreid's homeroom, the S6 prize, and Mr. Iames' and Miss Halbach's homeroom, the S3 prize. The remaining groups received Sl consolation prizes. Sat. The dance was a great success, with many familiar faces of our Alumni present. The decorations were novel in that the gym was converted into a miniature football field.

The program was opened by the graduating Seniors with a serious drama, Which is the Way to Bos- ton? The plot of the play revolved around an old New England superstition of death and was presented in the usual fine style. Gay Nineties Vaudeville , composed of seven short pantomimes, was the program presented by the Freshmen. This was the first time in the history of the WHS Dramatic Club that such a program was presented. Another serious drama, The Valiant , was the result of the Iunior's ef- forts. The action took place in the warden's office in a penitentiary, with the plot centering around a convicted murderer. Perhaps the most hilarious of the four to be presented this afternoon was the Sophomore's, A Wedding . Among other things, this play had the smallest plot of all, one very small, almost insignificant item-a man's collar button. Although it was such a small item, it definitely did provide a very interesting half hour's entertainment.

Some of the members of this club have taken part in the exhibitions put on by the Senior Tumbling Club during the inter- missions of basketball games, while others have gained valuable experience in the various gymnastic skills. Eighth 81 Ninth Grade Giit Making Besides making gifts for themselves and for others, the members of this club were given instructions in knitting, crocheting, embroidering, and stuffed animal making. Stenciling was introduced for the first time, and proved to be entertaining as well as useful to the members of the club. Sharps and Flats There is nothing like singing for the sheer joy of doing so. For those students whose vocal talents failed to land them in a chorus, or who like to sing for the fun of it, the Sharps and Flats Club is a heaven. Any type of song is tackled, whether it be a popular song, or folk melody from the pages of the Golden Book . Student Council This group under the sponsorship of Miss Roberts, has been discussing pro- posals made by the Senior High Student Council. This group has taken care of allotting the money, appropriated by the Senior High Council, for the vari- ous Iunior High Clubs. They have also approved such Senior High appeals as for the school paper and aided the Orbit staff in identifying pictures. Model Club Is your hobby making airplanes, trains or ships? If so the Model Club is the place for you. Under the guidance of Mr. Boeck the members of this club undertake the task of making all types of models, all of which are origi- nal. The skill of the members of this club has been shown by the exhibit of their work in the lunior High display case. Junior lligh Art Clubs These club were organized for the purpose of giving those people in- terested in art a chance to express themselves. Besides having studied some of the principles of art, the members have used their imagination in doing scenes in water color, charcoal and pastello. They have also done some craft work by making objects out of copper and clay. 9th Grade Dramatic Club Hurry! You're on stage! Is my make-up all-iight? These were some of the remarks of the members of this club on the night of March 28 when they presented the Gay Nineties Vaudeville This group also presented the pep meeting Honoring l?l Don Marek. Boys Club Answering any call for assistance in Iunior High, is the Boys Club. This group, following in the footsteps of their senior high brothers, have been responsible for many activities, such as trimming the Ir. High Christmas tree. Their meetings consisted mainly of discussions, with movies as the main 7th and 8th Grade Dramatic Club Staging, hand props and lighting are no longer words of mystery to those young Thespians, who are members of this club. Under the guidance of Mrs. Kaercher this group has put on several plays and has done extensive work in pantomime. They have also learned a great deal about costume and makeup. topic of interest. vi THE ORBIT of Probably the most important single contri- bution oi the schools to the health and morals of our country is athletics and its teaching.

Watertown 5 4 0 .556 WATERTOWN 18. RIPON 13 Watertown scored an easy victory in the curtain-raiser of the season by defeating Ripon 18 to 13. Although the score indicates a close battle, our Boys in Blue had the game well in hand at all times. The Goslings drew first blood on a pass from Kressin to Knispel, but Ripon scored near the close of the first half to knot the count. A kick for the extra point was not good. A sensational run of 70 yds. by Iim Lawton put our boys out in front once again, 12-6. Knispel concluded the scoring by taking apass from Kres- sin in the end zone. All our attempts at extra points by passing were no good. Ripon scored once more on a nice run against the Watertown reserves. THE ORBITN i pw Am ypgpbdyrgpryr ggi? WATERTOWN 19, JANESVILLE 20 The first quarter saw our boys with their backs to the wall, as a pow- erful Janesville team almost ran wild and rolled up 14 points in the first quarter. Late in the second period the Watertown team came to life and tallied on a 6 yard pass from Kressin to Knispel. The Blue and White continued in this manner and completely outplayed Janesville throughout the second half. Watertown opened up a pass attack that completely overwhelmed the Janesville defense. After returning a Janesville punt to their own 44, the Goslings marched to the Janesville 26 and from there Kressin aerialed to Knispel who stepped into the end zone for the score. He then converted. Sultze, elusive Janesville back, increased the Bluebird lead with a bril- liant 75 yard run. Watertown came back quickly and scored their final touch- down on another Kressin to Knispel pass which covered 10 yards, but lady luck was against Watertown and the kick for the extra point went but a foot wide of the goal posts. MARINETTE DEFEATS WATERTOWN, 19-7 On a rain-soaked field, the Goslings went down to defeat at the hands of a powerful Marinette eleven . Watertown out-played the Marines through- out the first quarter and threatened to score several times: their attack faltered and late in the second quarter Frosty Parish, Marinette fullback, took a lat- eral from Johnson and raced 52 yds. for the first of his three touchdowns. I The lone Gosling marker came in the final quarter when Wayne Kres- sin faded back and threw a 30 yd. pass to John Knispel who stepped across the goal for the touchdown. Both Jim Lawton and Jim Craine went out of the game with injuries and the team was further handicapped by the loss of Herb Schmitz, who was un- able to play because of an injured back. WATERTOWN 6, PORTAGE 0 Watertown scored its second victory of the season by defeating a good Portage eleven in a hard-fought battle. Both teams were unable to score during the first half, but Portage threat- ened early in the first quarter-when they drove to the Watertown 15. The threat was stopped by a 15 yard penalty. A -A beautiful 58 yard punt by Knispel midway in the third period set Portage back on their own 8-yard line. A nice bit of defensive work by Craine and Fee forced Portage to punt. The kick went out of bounds on the Portage 32. Lawton and Jensch carried the ball to the 9 and from there Kressin tossed a short pass to Engel who lateralled to Finnel. Finnel then carried it over for the only score of the game. Portage once again threatened late in the game when they marched to the Gosling ll, but they were unable to push through the Watertown line any farther than the 7. The work of Craine, Brink, Fee, and Ryan stood out in the Watertown line. WATERTOWN 0, EDGEWOOD 39 Our Goslings journeyed to Edgewood and took a sound beating from one of the best high school teams in the state, 39 to 0. The Blue and White team was unable to cope with the speedy Crusader backs who had excellent blocking to aid them. The only way Watertown could move was by air and this proved to be dangerous to the Goslings. One Edgewood touchdown came on an 80 yard runback of an interception, and others were set up by interceptions. The only good opportunity for a Gosling score came in the second peri- od when they reached the Edgewood 15, but this threat was ended by the close of the first half. McCormick and Ryan were the mainstays of the Edgewood attack, us- ually skirting the ends for long gains. WATERTOWN 32. PEWAUKEE 7 Our Goslings got off to a good start against an outclassed Pewaukee eleven , when Kressin smashed through the line from the 1. The touchdown was set up by Fritz Tester, who charged in and blocked a Pewaukee kick. The second quarter saw an attack which was climaxed by another tally, Knispel again doing the honors on a pass from Kressin. Later on in this period, the gridders annexed another seven points on an aerial to Knispel. Knispel converted. The second half saw a new Gosling team starting, and the first half was re-enacted. Iensch flipped a pass to Fee, who went over, and later on Iensch scored from scrimmage. Pewaukee's lone score came on a 12 yard run by Patrykus. WATERTOWN 27, LA CROSSE LOGAN 7 Before a large homecoming crowd, Watertown trampled over an out- classed Logan team by the overwhelming score of 27 to 7. The fact that the gridiron was again muddy did not phase the Gosling attack. Superb blocking, excellent broken field running, and a good pass at- tack overcame the Ranger defense. lim Lawton, who played one of the best games of his career, set up the first Blue and White touchdown in the initial period when he ran 47 yards to the Logan 12. From there Schmitz reached pay dirt on a line buck. A pass from Kressin to Knispel was good for the extra point. In the same period Kres- sin rifled a perfect pass to Knispel who eluded several tacklers for the tally. In the second quarter, two long touchdown runs of 95 and 56 yards by Finnel and Lawton, respectively, were nullified by penalties. The Goslings scored in only three plays at the start of the second half, the touchdown coming on a pass from Kressin to Knispel. Knispel converted on a placement. A pass from Lawton to Kressin in the end zone ended the scoring for Watertown, but Logan finally scored a consolation touchdown against the Watertown reserves. WATERTOWN 7, OCONOMOWOC 14 Our boys in blue started out slowly against our ancient rivals, Cooney High. The Cooney aggregation started out a bit more rapidly, however, scor- ing twice in the first half, once in each quarter. The score at half time read 14-0, with Watertown on the short end. In 'the third quarter, thanks to a blocked kick, Watertown scored. Kres- sin flipped a pass to Knispel, who lateralled to Finnel, Finnel tearing across the goal line for the six points. Knispel kicked the extra point from placement. Our gridders drove a deep wedge into Cooney territory, but were stal- led on the 10 by an interception. After this, neither team threatened. WATERTOWN 13, BEAVER DAM 0 Before a cold, rainy, Armistice Day crowd, the Beavers went down in defeat at the hands of our Goslings. Our gridders scored twice in the second quarter for the only scoring in the game. Our first tally came after Frank Coogan fell on a Beaver fumble on the 14, after which Knispel grabbed a Kressin pass and scored, standing up. Knispel converted for the extra point, and Watertown led 7 to 0. Our second score came as Schmitz smashed 4 yards through center. Knispel missed the extra point, and Watertown led, 13 to O at the half. One of the tragic events of this game was the breaking of Fritz Tester's arm. Fritz done a swell job at tackle all season. -A THE ORBIT he THE ORBIT N ROBERT BRUMM, Guard-This was Bob's first year on the team, but despite this fact, he showed enough fight to see his share of action. He was injured early in the season and did not see much action thereafter. HERBERT SCHMITZ, Fullback-This was Herbie's first year on the varsity and he was one of the most outstanding defensive backs. His offensive drive and power net- ted him many gains. EARL ROBERTS, Guard-After numerous injuries Earl came back at the end of the sea- son to again prove his value as a letterman. DONALD FEE, End-Don's great defensive work proved valuable in many games. He broke up a great number of the opponents' scoring thrusts. We'll see more of him next year. WAYNE KRESSIN, Captain, Quarterback- Kress' passing was outstanding through- out the season and was an essential factor to our success. The former part of the Kressin to Knispel combination threw them both long and short with ease. He was elected cap- tain for the year. IAMES CRAINE, Center- Dae was only a Iunior this year but won a starting position at center. His sure passing and fine line- backing was a great asset to the team's suc- cess this season. IACK NEUBAUER, Back-Iack's work as a substitute back was an asset to the Goslings' success. He gained experience which should prove valuable next year. IAMES LAWTON, Halfback-the open- field running of Irish was a pleasure to see. Many times, when apparently stopped, he shook off his would-be tacklers to go on for further gains. Iim was one half of the Irish twins . IAMES FINNEL, Halfback- Feen was a sparkplug in the Gosling backfield. His speed carried him to many a long gain. He was the other half of the famous Irish twin combination. Lettermen 'ra THE ORBIT P' Lettermen OTIS BEYER, Back-Although Otie had to take a back seat this year, he should be a starter during the coming seasons. It is prob- able that he will be doing most of the punt- ing next year. DONALD WILKE, Back-We expect Don to inherit next year's passing chores which will be left vacant by Wayne Kressin. Don also proved this year that he is a very cap- able broken-field runner. ROBERT WEAVER, Back- Buck didn't see too much action this season, but we ex- pect to see him out there fighting next year. IOHN KNISPEL, End-After shifting from tackle to end, Ollie lead the team to many victories by his great pass snatching and punting. His presence will be greatly mis- sed next year. MILTON ENGEL, End-This was Milt's second year on the varsity. He was always in there fighting till the final whistle. ROBERT IENSCH, Back- Shorty was Coach Landsverk's prize utility man. Many times during the season he was called upon to relieve one of the backfield men and he never failed to come through. This was Bob's last year. CHARLES STOPPENBACH, Guard-- Chuc- kie was always out there fighting hard for victory. His presence was always a help to our success. FRED TESTER, Tackle- Fritz's aggress- iveness created confusion among the oppo- sition. Many times he broke through the op- ponent's line to nail runners before they got started. FRANK COOGAN, Guard-The fact that Dewey was the smallest man on the squad proved to be no great handicap because he gained a starting berth on the varsity. -'a THE ORBIT f- GERALD BUCHHOLZ, End-Although lug did not see too much action, he proved him- self a valuable man to have around when the going got rough. WILLIAM KOENIG, Tackle-- Bill show- ed much fight and gained a starting berth at the opening of the season, but injuries great- ly hampered him near the close of the sea- son. KENNETH WILKES, End- Moose was out for every practice session and proved his worth in the action he saw. DON BRINK, Guard-Don's hard blocking and sure tackling earned him a starting po- sition on the varsity. He proved his value as a guard and line backer. Don will be back next year. SCOTT BENTZIN, Tackle-Scott proved himself as a sub this year and we expect much of him next year. ROBERT SCHMUTZLER, Guard- Bob showed much spirit in fighting for a first string position. His presence will be-missed next year. IAMES RYAN, Tackle- Borno suffered a sprained ankle during the season, but he showed plenty of fight when he was in the game. Iim will be back next year. ROBERT BUCHTA, Tackles Bob showed much improvement during the past season. He held down his position as a stalwart line- man. A DON MAREK, Manager-Don did an ex- cellent job in handling the equipment. For him there is small reward but the praise of the team, which he richly deserves.

The Blue and White defense was really on the ball, holding the Beavers to 22 points. WATERTOWN 28. HORICON 13 Coach Harris Grabows' boys won their second straight victory, over Horicon of the Little Ten, by the score of 28-13. All through the game the boys controlled rebounds under both baskets. Ken Nehring led scorers with 9 points. BEAVER DAM LOSES AGAIN The Beavers were handed much the same treatment that they received at the hands of the Goslings in their initial contest, by losing 26-20. The low score of the game indicates the brand of ball that both teams were playing, definitely defensive. WEST ALLIS CEN. TRIPS W. H. S., 55-52 The Goslings got off to a slow start, with the result that they came out on the short end of a 55-52 score. The Central team was too fast for our cag- ers: their fast breaks netting quite a few points. EAU CLAIRE TRIPS W. H. S., 50-49 In one of the most thrilling games of the season, the Blue and White dropped a 50-49 overtime decision to Eau Claire. After rallying in the final minutes of the regulation time, the Goslings finally knotted the score at 48-48 on Don Fee's long bucket which dropped through the hoop as the gun sound- ed. In the overtime, the Goslings could cash in on only one out of three free throw attempts, while the Old Abes netted a bucket to cop the victory. WATERTOWN 38, ALUMNI 48 The fast traveling Alumni quintet, sparked by a former star, Don Gerth, nipped our boys 48-38 The High cagers were unable to get their high-geared offense into motion until late in the game. Wayne Kressin led scorers with 16 points. WATERTOWN 32, COLUMBUS 22 The Blue and White cagers ran up a 32 to 22 victory over Columbus High at Columbus. The rebound work of Iohn Knispel was outstanding. He passed up many shooting opportunities to feed to his teammates. Don Marek was the high scorer of the game tallying 9 points. WATERTOWN TRIPS HORICON AGAIN, 36-29 Watertown came from behind after trailing at the intermission 15-13. With the efforts of Craine, Marek, and Nehring, the Goslings outscored and outplayed the Marshmen in the third and fourth quarters to bring victory for our charges. Marek led scorers with eleven points. MONROE WALLOPS WATERTOWN, 56-34 The Goslings suffered their worst defeat of the season in a game play- ed at Monroe, 56-34. The Cheesernakers broke up the fast break plays of the Blue and White by intercepting pass after pass- and converting the intercep- tions into buckets. Don Marek was high scorer for the Goslings with nine points. COONEY DOWNED, 51-42 A scrappy Oconomowoc quintet was beaten on their home floor by a hot Blue and White cage squad, 51-42. Marek was the fireball of the team with 15 points. Knispel, rangy forward, was second high with 14 markers. PORT LICKS W.H.S., 37-33 After building up a 21-14 halftime lead, the Goslings seemed to go to pieces, barely holding their lead throughout the third quarter. In the final peri- od, the ultimate downfall came, Port scoring 13 points to our 7. GOSLINGS FLY PAST COONEY, 38-34 'Watertown defeated their arch-rivals for the second time this year, 38-34, in a hotly contested game played in the gym. The Goslings held a one point halftime lead and kept it throughout most of the contest. Nehring, Marek and Hoffman held scoring honors with 8 points a piece. -A THE ORBIT N W .ig img Wg 95 GOSLINGS LOSE TO EAU CLAIRE, 47-46 For the second time this season, Watertown lost by a single point to Eau Claire, 47-46. The Goslings maintained a lead over the Old Abes thru the first 31 minutes and 53 seconds, but they were unable to defeat the referees too, and the winning bucket was scored by Howard who plainly fouled Marek in scoring, but this went unnoticed and the victory went to Eau Claire. Knis- pel led scorers with 22 points before he fouled out in the fourth quarter. WATERTOWN 57. PORT WASHINGTON 43 The Goslings polished off the Pirates in a well-played game in the gym. This victory atoned for an earlier defeat at Ports' hands. A fast second half which left the visitors by the wayside, provided the margin necessary for the victory. Marek again led scorers with 17 points. WATERTOWN 58. MONROE 46 Coach Grabows' Goslings completely overwhelmed the hopeless Cheesemakers in a thrilling atonement victory. The offense was about as hot as we have ever seen it here in Watertown. Everyone played a great game, especially Knispel and Nehring under both baskets. Marek and Kres- sin scored 13 points each to lead our scorers. WATERTOWN DEFEATS RIPON, 37-33 In a ragged exhibition of basketball, the Goslings waited until the final four minutes of play before they put on pressure and forged ahead 33-30 on burly Iim Craines' two buckets. Iohn Knispel and Wayne Kressin each added one more while Ripon scored a free throw, and the score ended 37-33. GOSLINGS LOSE TO EDGEWOOD. 47-36 In their final home game of the season, the Blue and White cagers were clearly off form and they went down to defeat at the hands of a fast Crusader quintet led by little Sammy Presti- giacomo. The Goslings found themselves trailing 25-17 at the half but in the third quarter they finally displayed some scoring punch and tied the score, 30-30 at the three quarter mark. In the closing minutes of the last period the Blue and White really fell apart and went scoreless, while the Cru- saders scored 8 points. Iohn Knispel was high scorer for Watertown with 14 points. WATERTOWN LOSES TO EDGEWOOD AGAIN, 49-34 The Goslings lost the season's closing game to a rough Edgewood 5 49-34. Most of the Watertown cagers had colds or were recovering from illness and consequently were not up to par. Once again it was little Sam Prestigiacomo who caused the Goslings the most trouble. He played a fine floor game besides racking up 19 points. The Blue and White displayed their usual third quarter drive and came close to wresting the lead from the Crusaders but they cou1dn't keep up the pace in the final period when Edge- wood scored 20 to the Gos1ing's 10 points. Iohn Knispel again led scorers with 12 points, COLUMBUS REGIONAL TOURNAMENT In the first game of the regional toumament at Columbus, the Goslings easily defeated an outclassed Baraboo quintet, 42-25. The Blue and White built up a 23-11 half-time lead, then coasted to victory. Iohn Knispel scored 11 points to pace Watertown scorers. Don Marek was second with 9. Watertown was unable to keep pace with the sharp-shooting Reedsburg 5 who put them in from any place on the floor. Stuart Fondrie, Reedsburg guard, was the hottest man on the floor the first half. He scored 5 straight field goals from deep out on the court. The Goslings took a slim 12-11 first quarter lead, but Reedsburg took over from there and led throughout the remainder of the contest. Don Marek and Iohn Knispel took scoring honors for Watertown with 13 points each. INDIVIDUAL SCORING FG FT G PF TP AV'G.

He was also a consistent scorer, taking the runner-up spot in individual scoring honors. The crowds were thrilled by his accuracy from around the free-throw circle. This is Don's last year. WAYNE KRESSIN- Kress was another of the seniors on this year's squad. His long shots kept us in several games. When the game was close Kress' usually could be depended upon to push one of his sWish- ers through the hoop. IOHN KNISPEL, Captain- Ollie's height and ability made him one of the outstanding players on this or any of the opponent's floors. He was a consistent scorer and took scoring honors for the year. His rebound Work under both baskets was exceptional. John was elected honorary captain by his team mates. KENNETH NEHRING- Slats was the tal- lest man on the squad. His quick thinking on rebounds helped us over several games. As starting center he proved himself to be a handy man to have around. He will be back next year. DON FEE-Don's fine defensive Work was a contributing factor to the success of the team. He thrilled crowds in the first Eau Claire game by tying the score on a sensa- tional long shot to tie the score as the horn sounded, even though the game was lost in the overtime. IAMES CRAINE-When the chips were down, Dae came in to provide the spark which started the Goslings rolling. He was accurate and won several games with his spot shots. DON GERTH, Manager-Don, a former serviceman and star on the 1943-44 basket- ball squad took over the job of manager this season. He was Well-liked by the mem- bers of the team and did a swell job as manager. IAMES HOFFMAN-lim started the season as a reserve but quickly earned a starting berth on the first five with his drive and aggressiveness. lim will be back next year. ROBERT WEAVER- Buck showed ag- gressiveness throughout the season and turn- ned in his best performance against Baraboo in the Regional at Columbus. We will de- pend on his services next year. THE ORBIT f-' Girls Intramural Basketball Women have slowly struggled to gain an equal footing with men in the many professions and activities, until, they stand today recognized and respec- ted in their own rights. Is it not right that Watertown High School should, too, have its women, who have fought so gallantly against sometimes crushing blows to emerge victors? Well, wonder no more, because, we have. Whoa are they? In what field have they gained this success? Over what overwhelming odds are they victors? The women are those who banded together to form the teams which took part in the girls intramurals. They had to bear it and bite their lips when some of the expert basketball men looked on, and said, You don't call that basketball do you? or Whoever told you, you could p1ay? But they over- came this and they also overcame the wounds inflicted in battle. Sure, they might have gotten their hair mussed, their lipstick smeared, and shoved around a lot, but that did not bother them. They had asked for it, they had expected it, and they fought on loyaly and courageously to win. The teams were divided or organized according to classes. Almost ev- ery Monday night, you could see the gals run out on to the playing field in their blue suits ready for action. Some teams even had their own cheering sections, and there was plenty of spirit and cooperation on the part of the teams. Special credit should be given to Miss Lubbers in recognition of her fine work in getting the intramurals started and organized. You could see her there any playing night, whistle in hand, taking charge of things. There was keen competition between the teams, and some did not fare too well, but they tried hard and there were many thrilling games. Compe- tition ran especially high between the Seniors and Juniors, but the Senior girls finally came out as champs of girl's intramurals. Audrey Butts did a fine job as captain of the Seniors.

Would you look back to past old friends, Or in that hour find new? Perhaps you'd bid farewell to some And leave them with a smile. Perhaps you'd sit and think alone, Alone, for that short while. Perhaps you'd satisfy some whim You'd never dared before. Perhaps you'd think of all you'd missed Or things to be thankful for. - If you had but one hour to live, Hurry! What would you do? If I should have one hour to live, I'd-I'd-I only wish I knew. -Phyllis Raatke BEAUTIFUL ME Beautiful! Georgeous! That's what they're saying, as they longingly gaze at my fragile beauty. They are about to put on my lovely crown, and add the finishing touches to my final makeup. I am the envy of all the other beauties, and believe me the competition is' great. Soon I will be brought before the executioner, for alas! I am doomed! I But it will be a great satisfaction to hear all the Ahhs and Ohs on my Way. Yes, I am doomed! ! For with all my beauty, I am not long for this Worldiif I weren't to be destroyed, I couldn't exist here anyway. But it's wonderful to bask for a short time in such an atmosphere of flattery. . Now, I'm ready. I'm on my way to my destination, and Oh! here it is! Now I am being placed before the hungry monster who will soon devour me. But wait!-What is this one last flattering remark?--I must hear itll can't bear to go without hearing it-i- 'Oh, say, kids! did you ever see such a gorgeous Fresh Strawberry Sundae? Lookit that gob of whipped cream on top!-Don't care how many calories there are,Zwon't eat any supper to-nite. -Nancy Metzger -A THE ORBIT THE MOST WONDERFUL THING The night was cool-all the relinquishing beauty of summer had passed: the leaves that had been painted colorful hues by Mother Nature were now crumbling to papery masses. In a dimly-lighted house bordering on the tracks, there sat a bulky in- dividual whose shoulders characterized one who had burdened many troubles and worries. She was occupied with the humble task of darning, the subject being a pair of brightly colored socks. Yes, these little socks were going to complete a mighty important outfit. It was to be Child's day to go to the big city. Upstairs in a shabby little bed, encased in shimmering moonbeams lay a little girl whom the sandman had tucked in after a very busy day. Her dreams lay in the morrow's pleasures. Tomorrow she would take a roaring bus and go to the big playland called the city. And then to make it all so fairy-like, she would be able to see and, perhaps, even enter the MOST WON- DERFUL THING. Hadn't she so often heard her schoolmates repeat its wonders to her. How they would beg their mothers to let them go there because it was so wonderful. Soon the curtain of night was drawn back, and the bright sun began forming dappled patterns on the faded patchwork quilt. In the distance the 7:55 could be heard by its rhythmic chugs. In a flash, Child was awakened. The day was here and how happy she was. Hold still, honey, for I shore ain't going to get this dress buttoned if you can't keep those little legs on the floor . It was a brisk walk to the bus stop, all the more to tantalize the excite- ment of the little child. Big factories with dim, dusty windows and big houses with shiny win- dows passed swiftly by, but with every rotation of the wheels, only the thought of THE MOST WONDERFUL THING beat in her head. The bus came to a stop in the heart of the big city. The noise of the city was like sweet music to her ears. The shrill whistle of the policeman turned to strumming violins, the roaring traffic to tubas, and the bustle of the busy ones to clarinets. Throughout the morning, roaming from one huge building to the other. nothing could keep her attention more than the thought of THE MOST WON- DERFUL THING that they would see and enter at noon. The Angelus rang clearly to remind the people of the big city that a- nother moming had passed. Now it was time for THE MOST WONDERFUL THING. The streets were crowded with people of every walk of life on their way to seek nourishment. Child stopped-she shrieked with delight-there it was. She pressed her tiny nose against the cold window pane and her eyes hungrily took in the sights. People were walking to and fro carrying large aluminum trays covered with steaming dishes of colorful foods. Girls in little white aprons and caps were hollering in a very strange tongue to white-capped men in the huge kitchens. There were so many people, how-wonderful, wonderful. A call from her mother released her from the sight. Iust as she was going to enter THE MOST WONDERFUL THING, her mother stopped and just shook her tousled head. Child looked up at her with her big brown inquiring eyes. Well, honey, see that white sign up thar? Well, that done say that only white folks is allowed to eat here. -Mary Goecke THE ORBIT -H M up IN FOND MEMORY OF PEPPER Pepper, my pet, my companion, my friend is gone. I will never see his pleading eyes, his mop-like ears or his wagging tail again. Nor will he ever cause me any more trouble or fun! I knew him first as a frolicsome, shoestring chewing pup, a black ball with only bumps for legs and little ears gracefully waved. He had gained entrance to our house only after I had waged a long but successful battle. As a precautionary measure to insure his staying, I gave him a god-mother and god-father, Knot of his own speciesl, whom I will not embarass by mentioning. He was also given his official title, Sir Bruce Hero's Salute. I have never figured out how I thought of such a name. Even with guardians he could not resist the temptation of putting me through the initiation all dog owners seem to get. Of course, he did the ordinary mischief associated with puppyhood, such as chewing socks and shoes. In fact, he would chew anything: he even had a fondness for razor blades. But on one occasion he almost started a neighborhood feud which, I think, is out of the ordinary. As it happened, we had a neighbor who didn't seem to appreciate dogs, children, or people in general. On a certain day that lady was airing her fancy pillows on her open porch. And on that same day Pepper must have been hungry, for he started to carry the best pillow home. That is, he went toward home till both my mother and thetlady saw him with his prize. What followed was a wild race between a very agile dog and two, not very agile, middle-aged women. Even with such antics, he succeeded in Winning me completely, and I wasn't the only one. His impish face and quaint mannerisms gained for him a host of life-long friends. He met many of his friends for the first time the day he followed me to school. After being evicted, he did not go home as any other pooch would have done. Instead, he persisted in making such a fuss that it was necessary for me to take him home. Then there was the day a man stumbled over him in a meat market and subsequently dashed a can of peas through a window. Needless to say, that was a bad moment. All his sins were forgiven him the night he was lost, six miles out in the country. It happened when he was still a pup, and he proved quite a hero by finding his own way home. Curiosity killed a cat. Well, curiosity almost drowned Pepper. While walking on the ice-covered river that winter, he looked in a hole in the ice for curiosity's sake and fell in! I still don't see how he managed that stunt. All I do know is that I was the self-appointed rescue squad. For his greatest vice I must admit the blame. I wasn't content with a dog: I wanted a slave. So I tried to train Pep to fetch the evening paper. I must have succeeded too well, for he was not satisfied with just our paper, but he went out and collected our neighbors' papers also. Certainly Pepper was no angel, but in two short years he tried to afford amusement to many people. His mission was accomplished. -Gertrude Zoelle ro THE ORBIT f' Humor in ct Wholesome sense is never old or out of dctte. ln our school life those little incidents which cccuse chuckles Will remain longest in our memory.
