Since December 7 many of West Bend High School's former students and three of its faculty have donned a uniform and received a rank in our armed forces. Of our teachers, lVlr. Jack Martin, biology and science instructor, has become l..ieut. Martin, U. S. O.: Mr. W. Baechler, commercial instructor, has become Ensign Baechler, U. S. Navyg and lVlr. Karl Kuss, also instructor in science and biology, has become Corp. Kuss, U. S. Army. To them especially and to every member of America's defending forces, the class of I9-42 dedicates the l942 Victory Bend. if-kiff Life at West Bend Included S0 Much We Enter Here From Enrollment Day to Commencement, VVe Review '-ll and '42 Administration Faculty We Leave Classes Activities Athletics Students Seniors Page F Page Six The School Board Bottom Row -- Mr. A.

School ffairs Were Well Administered Through the efforts of the administrative depart- ment of our school, teachers and students are given a smooth-running educational plant. The school board consists of five members: Mr. A. H. Klumb, directory Dr. A. H. Heidner, treasur- er, Mr. D. Kenny, clerk, Mrs. George Kuehlthaug and Mr. E. Krieger. Running the affairs of the school is a larger task than most students realize. The board of education pays salaries, schedules The necessary courses for college entrance, lets the contracts for repair work, provides bus transportation for city grade pupils, and supervises a well-planned budget. From the important task of hiring personnel to the more easily executed one of buying coal, its administrative work misses no detail. ln reality our school is a S700,000 corporation. To Dr. Heidner it is exactly a 5S72l,9l9.99 corp- oration. The report he prepares for the district is not a two-page article of receipts and expenditures, but represents I5 pages of typewritten summaries. Here are some of the interesting facts included in it. Over 50 per cent of our schoolmates are from regions outside the West Bend city limits, thus ac- counting for 330,000 in tuition money collected each year from surrounding townships. This, plus approximately S55,000 raised annually by the city through taxation and sl l,000 of state aid, makes up the budget for the year. Few of us know that the beautiful campi encircl- ing the grade and high school buildings are valued at sl 70,022. 76g that the school buildings are worth b3463,083.8l 3 and that the equipment assets are S44, l 42.70. Surely, planning and directing the school year requires continued foresight, wide adap- tability to meet changing conditions, and business initiative on the part of the board members. We students hear from the board of education through Mr. McLane, our city superintendent of schools. Mr. McLane sits in on all board meetings, lending advice, presenting the views of the student body, and then translating the work of the board to the daily routine of the school. For the past 37 years that he has been affiliated with the West Bend Public Schools, Mr. McLane has seen the enrollment increase from 460 to l,000 studentsg from a faculty of I3 teachers to 38 teachers. A new high school and grade school were erected during his adminis- tration, and a vocational school was completed in the new wing of the high school two years ago. Throughout these years, Mr. McLane continually possessed an understanding control in all matters and had the satisfaction of knowing that his efforts provided a better education for the youth of this community. Our high school principal, Mr. Batho, shares responsibilities with Mr. McLane. ln his two years at West Bend, Mr. Batho has won the confidence and respect of all students. Although concerned chiefly with the general organization and discipline of the school, his two science classes, and inter- school relations, Mr. Batho still finds time to show great interest in the welfare of the individual stu- dent. This interest, coupled with sincerity and friend- liness, makes one feel at ease in his presence, and is characteristic of the relationship existing between teachers and students in our school. Mr. Colby, the vice-principal, is always a busy teacher, yet never too busy to answer questions. A whizz in the physics laboratory and geometry class- a deep thinker. As as school registrar, room, students regard him as vice-principal, Mr. Colby acts checks students' credits, schedules and groups the class programs for the year, and since Pearl Harbor, has conducted the sale of War Saving Stamps and Bonds to students every Tuesday. Miss Forrester, director of guidance and com- mercial teacher, returned to West Bend High School last year after a two year leave of absence to com- plete her doctorate in the study of guidance at Columbia University. Miss Forrester instituted an efficient guidance program. Under her direction, an alphabetical card file was set up bearing the names of all students in high school and supplemented by if zz fe if K f f .-. ., s Ii - f . ,, li f ' I Miss Gertrude Forrester -- B.

She worked in collaboration with the Kiwanis and Rotary clubs of West Bend to present speakers on various occupations and encouraged an essay contest on vocational careers. Hobby groups, too, were organized, thus providing a means of leisure time preferences for students. A likeable group of persons composed the teaching staff. lnterested in the individual student and always willing to be of assistance to him, the teachers spent many hours in planning classroom work and supervising extra-curricular activities. Our faculty has high professional standards. All of them have completed four years of college work while seven of the twenty-seven have master's degrees. A large number continue their studies at summer schools, working toward higher de- grees and advanced professional standing. at . ' 'fi .A fi? tffwww f J- we Page Seven TTTW' ' M l ure We Like School. We Like the Companionship of Our Fellow Students-- We Like the Helpfulness of the Teachers-- We Like the Things We Do-- And this year we liked school especially because something new 'was added. When school opened on September Z, l94l, we moved along rapidly noting many changes. Students went to Spanish class for the Hrst time. Miss Forrester returned after teaching two years at Columbia University. The student handbooks appeared and the new Student Senate came into being. Bud Bennett with the campaign slogan For Pete's Sake, Vote for Bennett! won over his opponent, George Pete, and became the first Student Body president. Our gridders played on a new Held, under new lights, with new equipment and a new coach, Bob Caldwell. The homecoming, run on a new plan, eliminated class competition. Instead, the entire school acted as a unit to put over a bang- up parade and bonfire. Disappointingly, the homecoming game with Mayville was postponed because of rain, but we forgot our sorrows at the dance in the gym later in the evening. We liked school because we made so many friends at our parties. Our Senior Sweater Dance, pictured here, was a sample of that fun. Margaret Gumm led the Conga line round and round, and remarkably enough, we all found our way out. ff ff'f A Sensation in Any Setting Queen Margaret Gumm and King Jerome Kies led the Grand March at the Junior Pan-American Prom.

But we didn't like the news of Superintendent lVlcl..ane's illness in early winter, and not seeing him again for the rest of the year. It seemed strange not to hear his voice over the loud-speaker, or to see him walking down the corridor now and then. All this time the war was a hazy thing in our mindsg but suddenly, on December 7, it was brought home to us in a forceful way. Pearl Harbor became more than a place on the map. We found out what a War Stamp looked like. We began to understand what draft and rationing meant. Then we became doubly-proud of our school as changes took hold, and made us an integral part of the war effort of our glorious country. Students came to school in the dark of early winter mornings when Central War Time went into effect. Since Buy War Bonds and Stampsi' became an important slogan, West Bend High School has gone over the top in sales. The art and citizenship classes cooperated in the preparedness movement by making illustrated posters. The Student Senate sponsored a huge inter-class salvage campaign, net- ting 4,5 70 pounds of scrap metal, in addition to the janitors collecting 400 pounds of waste paper a Keep ,Em Rolling Homecoming Parade: W.

Talk of a six-day week developed into graduation being pushed ahead a week to give our boys a chance to work on the farms and in the factories. The draft and enlist- ments took several of our students and three of our teachers. Even the junior Pan-American prom, led by King Jerome and Queen Margaret, became an observance of our Good Neighbor Policy. As winter closed, West Bend's debaters, Mira- bel, the two Calvins, Bud, and Coach Olson came through for a second time and brought home a big gold trophy and a banner proclaiming, Hxvest Bend High School, Wisconsin State Debate Champions. Continuing their splendid record, Mirabel Hansen, Calvin Claus, and Austin Hancock rated A rank- ings at the State Forensic Contest in their respective speech fields of extempore speaking and oratory. This year of eventful changes passed rapidly. Before we knew it, spring with its baseball games, golf tournaments, and track and tennis meets had come and gone and commencement time was upon usg the year ended. Did we like it? You bet we did! Page Nine I J Music in the Modern Manner When our spirits lag, or we get discouraged at the trend of a game, the band comes to the rescue with a zippy march or a stirring overture. Because of its power to inspire enthusiasm, the band plays at all the athletic contests, pep-meetings, and other functions where a lot of good cheer and courage are needed. The shiny instruments and definite rhythm of the band in action is enough to arouse anyoneis sporting blood. To add spice to the occasion, musical programs are planned that call for audience participation. Everyone likes to be fooled in the hand-clapping song, and it's a pleasant change for the students to be allowed to whistle in school in time to music. The band is divided into two sections of thirty- eight and forty members. The two divisions alter- nate in performing. Although Mr. Christensen may sometimes be perplexed at how many square feet of basses and how many square feet of players can be packed in the available practice space, and how many different noises can come out of one instrumentg still all's Well that ends well, and our band usually makes a good showing at the music festivals. For the person with a quiet nature who doesn't care for strenuous music, there is the orchestra com- posed of thirty-two members. The orchestra doesn't ...andthe Sweet notes, swing notes, half notes, quarter notes, and just notes go floating around the music room on Mondays, for that's the day the girls' glee club meets. Some 60 girls from all the classes gather here under the guidance of Mr. Christensen for the ex- press purpose of having a good sing. As is the usual case when 60 young girls get together, a current of good fellowship crackles and sparks through the atmosphere. This youthful energy is finally harnessed, converted, and released as music that stirs emotions. As the girls sing, one is conscious of a feeling of cooperation. The individual voices lose their identity as they blend in the waves of music that rise and fall and carry the spirit of their song to the listener. Out of the glee club some of the girls are chosen to sing with the boys in the mixed chorus. This group is much in demand by the various clubs and church organizations in town. For those whose love of good music does not stop at the mechanics of singing, the Music Appre- Page Ten play as often as the band, but this year for the first time it entered the music tournament at Waupun. lndividual members entered fourteen solo events at the tournament at Whitewater. An unusually good record was made when eight of them came through with firsts. Entered in Class A, Mirabel Hansen won with her violin selection, and in Class B Ralph Butler's vocal solo, Margaret Gummis piano number, and Carol I-lansenis cello solo rated firsts. Carol and Mirabel combined in a string duet to get another first division, While Mar- gie Nielsen, Margaret Gumm, Elmer Schmidt, and Calvin Claus did the same with their vocal quartet. ln Class C Quintin Schowalter's singing and Cal Claus' tuba playing gave them firsts, too. i' 1.

The club is new this year and was started by a group of students having a deep interest in music. It was not hard for them to secure faculty support because of the worthwhile goal. At the meetings the great musicians and composers of all time are discussed and their style criticized. Then their works are played on the phonograph and com- mented upon. For example, at one meeting a report was given on the life of Franz Schubert. Since several versions of his life story exist, each was presented and dis- cussed. Then his Unfinished Symphony, Ave Marie, Serenada and Rosamunde Suite were played. ln this manner students familiarize themselves with the classics and learn to absorb and appreciate the subtle beauties of musical masterpieces.

While stage construction, make-up, costuming, and lighting never come before the public eye or gain as much importance as the acting, nevertheless, their importance cannot be denied. This year the work of the stage crew was felt more than ever. Precious free periods and time after school were set aside for building new flats and renovating old ones. Regardless of the fact that there is no dramatic club in school, Thespian-minded persons are given many opportunities to prove their skill. Early in fall, four one-act plays were produced for the benefit of dramatics, the forensic department, and noon mov- ies. The plays, with all-school casts were: The Powers That Be, an impressionistic drama, and There's Always Tomorrow, a comedy, both directed by Miss Stanfield, Who Gets the Car To- night?, a farce under the direction of Mr. Olson, and Miss Podruch's production, At the Stroke of Twelve, a mystery-comedy. ln April, the senior class play,H Lady Spitfire, with Miss Stanfield directing the cast and the stage crew, was presented. Against a striking modernistic Learning Engli The most important milestone in the speech and English curriculum this year was the installation of a combination recorder and phonograph. The ma- chine, a gift of the class of l94l, and used in con- junction with the music department, has proved useful in speech correction. New items were introduced into the courses this year. Precedents were not broken, however, for practicability and interest in the subject were still the governing factors. Under the auspices of the English teachers, Misses Hickey, Stanfield, Podruch, and Mr. Baxter, and Mr. Olson, the speech instruc- tor, the paramount aim was the rudiments of lan- guage and literary appreciation. Looking forward to the peace time after the present war, the seniors, after prolonged research, wrote extensive themes on their conceptions of Utopia. The project was correlated with the social problems course. As a climax to this study, an H. G. Wells movie, Things to Come, was presented to the entire school. Mr. Olson's two speech classes contributed their bit to the entertainment of the school by presenting such skits as The Life of George Altendorfu and Mother Goosen at the pep-meetings. ln order to gain a better appreciation of liter- ature, many students joined a club called the Book h setting, Beatrice Puestow as Lady Spitfire, spoiled heiress, displayed her spirit much to the disapproval of Torn, a handsome young college boy, played by Austin Hancock, while George Altendorf, alias Bud, Tom's harum-scarum young pal, attempted to tame her. The action took place in Miss Prudence's fMir- abel Hansenl School for Young Ladies -- the young ladies in this case were Florence Nielsen as the lov- able Cindy, Marion Wilcox as the eternally nibbling Ginger Reid, and Flobelle, the haughty social climb- er, played by Audrey Wolf. Complications in the form of Lady Spitf1re's father, portrayed by Richard Malzahn, Jed, the town constable, played by Cal Huber, and Henri, a smooth crook fWillard Dheinl added to the hilarious, fast pace of the story. When the curtain descended upon the final act of Lady Spitfire, many students had gained ex- perience in play production and enjoyed the fun of such creative activity. ir 1.

At another time, the seniors filled out appli- cation blanks, stating why they wanted a particular job. Local business executives criticized these and spoke to the students. Many students also entered the essay contests which were promoted by the Kiwanis Club and the American Legion. Many students became interested in using their English knowledge in the form of extempore speak- ing and reading, oratory, and declamation. ln inter- school forensic work they brought honors to West Bend and gained invaluable speaking experience. At the close of the season, four of them, still not eliminated by league and district tournaments, went on to the state contest. There the greatest laurels were won, for Mirabel Hansen received an A rat- ing in extempore speaking, Austin Hancock and Calvin Claus rated A's in oratory, and Grace Grogan claimed a C in extempore reading.

Talks on various occupations by local men and women, interviews with workers, visits to places of employment, and reading biographies of successful workers preceded the writing of occupational re- ports by the students. The Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs cooperated by furnishing speakers for assem- blies and vocational conferences. These men read and commented on the occupational essays and offered opportunities for observation, conference, visitation, and tryout to those students whose essays showed sincere interest. A cumulative record system, inaugurated this year, with individual folders for each pupil, provides the basis for individual interviews and as a guide for referral to job openings which may lead to satis- factory fields of employment. Miss Forrester, who directed the vocational guidance program, presented a panorama of specific techniques and conducted the program of the com- munity aspects committee at the national conven- tion of the National Vocational Guidance Associa- tion at San Francisco, California, February I8-20. 1.

Helping America Prepare With the completion of the Vocational School two years ago, a new course, metal shop, was added to the curriculum. Under the guidance of Glenn Hprestidigitatorn Johnson, the 38 boys enrolled in the course learned to handle lathes, drills and presses, to make tools, and to do welding. ln addition to the regular daily classes, there is a special class from 4 until 7 p. m. on three nights a week, for those boys wanting to get into defense industries after graduation. The wealth of precision machinery, the forges, the repair tools included in the shop as well as the skillful hands it produces, makes it valuable to the country's war effort. ir 3.

With tangents and 70-step proofs still fresh in their minds, they went to ad- vanced math class in their senior year to learn more of parabolas, sines, and ellipses. The freshmen received a liberal science course, learning the operation of a pump, the wherefore of a universe, and the complications of an engine. The sophomore biologists this year really felt the draft, having had five different teachers during the year, to help them study about frogs, plants, animals, and humans. The juniors and seniors discovered that chemistry is the study of chemical properties of mat- ter and that a Bunsen burner will not light if at- Page Fourteen tached to a water jet. Chemistry revealed to them its fascination and usefulness in the field of plastics and the manufacture of clothing. Pondering over a hydrostatic paradox and the basic laws of the phys- ical properties of matter gave the senior physics students the ability to cope with many problems, even to calculate the speed, momentum, and force of a baseball dropped from the top of the Wash- ington Monument.

Page Fifteen ,gy--'f W Page Sixteen T e Clipper C vers the Campus The Campus Clipper is the official newspaper of West Bend High. From reporting to production it is almost entirely student work. This year this has been true to a greater degree than in previous years because the staff had a rotation of faculty advisers. Miss Hickey, Miss Stanf'-ield, Mr. Baxter, Mr. Olson, and Mr. Eggert took turns in supervising the various issues. Miss Kucirek was the permanent production adviser of the student staff. To the average student the Clipper is fifteen minutes of reading time. To the staff members it is fifteen hours of work per issue. This includes ferret- ing out information, writing the articles, typing, justifying, stenciling, mimeographing, stacking and distributing the editions. The routine of the Campus Clipper is simplified into the following steps: First, a meeting is called on the Monday follow- ing publication of the paper. At this meeting the last issue is criticized, suggestions are made for im- provement, and assignments are given out. The re- porters pursue their leads and write their articles. These are proofed and typed. The words are so spaced as to make the lines even at the margins. Next, the pages are set up by the make-up crew, the ads cut, and the articles typed on the stencils. The stencils are then placed on the mimeograph and the pages run off. The stacks of paper are then placed on two tables around which an assembly line forms and arranges the paper. The finished product is then distributed. The writing experience obtained helps the indi- vidual be more exact in expressing his thoughts and in organizing his ideas. The threat of the deadline teaches him to budget his time, and incidentally, the work is a lot of fun. 'A' 1. The make-up crew inserts a scoop. Top row: M. Gumm, R. Hiller, H. Ross, D, Schowalter.

A one- third cut in the budget, soft covers, and paper re- ductions were the orders. This meant copy took a severe cut, but pictures were increased in size to compensate for a slight reduction in number. Loss of quantity, however, meant a gain in quality, and in fairness to the subscribers, the price was reduced in proportion to the size. Scrapping all other plans and working with a timely military theme, we called our book the Vic- tory Bend and dedicated it to our former faculty members and students who are in service. Planning pictures, writing and re-writing copy, cutting, mounting, subscription sales, and all details which go into the production of an annual, provided the staff with plenty of work, a few headaches, and lots of excitement. l-lowever, they were equal to the task. For instance, the advertising staff, led by Austin Hancock, went over the top in sponsorships. Vernon Dengel, the business manager, put over the student subscription sales with a bang. Carl Heuer, Walter Wendt, George Herman, and Mr. Baxter did the fine job on the pictures. Copy-editor Mirabel Hansen, pencil in hand, slashed down, built up, and rewrote copy while Jean I-lorlamus and Joy Schnei- der, the staff editors, worked and worried to meet the budget, the deadlines, and did some general kibitzing among the staff members to get the book out on time. Early in winter the editors of the Bend and Clip- per, as well as several of the staff members, made a trip to the Nackie Paper Company at Milwaukee to study an extensive display of annuals in order to gain some new angles in book layouts. Throughout the production of the annual, Mr. Baxter, the Bend adviser, worked hand in hand with Jean and Joy, the staff editors, and helped them immeasurably with the tough problems which arose. ir 4.

Page Seventeen ' An Eye T ard usiness With business in full swing, as it is today, the job- getting possibilities of the commercial subjects of this school are great indeed. West Bend's commercial course includes a wide scope of subjects. A girl or boy following a com- plete business course would begin with business training as a freshman, learning the fundamentals, such as banking and credit, checks, interest, types of money, notes, and stocks and bonds. Thereafter, he takes bookkeeping for either personal or business use as a sophomore or senior subject. First year typ- ing may also be taken during that year, and it is followed by a year of advanced typing in the junior or senior year. ln l942, two hundred students pounded the keys of forty typewriters as they pre- pared for future work. Shorthand is begun in the third year, and in the last, a practical course in office practice can be taken. The latter embodies try-outs and exploratory experience in defense and draft board offices, in the Red Cross office, and one week's training for each student in the high school office. raining Hands After starting with a session at the drafting table, then following with a lot of sawing, drilling, nailing, gluing, and finally finishing, the boys who take the manual arts course complete end-tables, magazine racks, coffee tables, lamps, and other furniture with the workmanship of a master-craftsman. The ll5 boys in Mr. Schuelke's classes learn the trade from the draftsmanis angle by working with elementary drawing, mechanical, sheetmetal, architectural and machine drawing, inking, tracing, and blue-print making. After obtaining a working knowledge of these principles they put them into practice in the work-shop, from the very elementary task of squaring boards to the completion of a fine, intricate book shelf. The manual arts department consists of a wood- working shop, finishing room, mechanical drawing room and a machine room. All these have complete equipment ranging from large power drills to the minutest screw driver. This year the work shop was enlarged and new wood-turning lathes, jig saw, drill press, table saw, shaper, and jointer added to the machine room. The course is elective for two years. It is equally divided between the study of mechanical drawing and the workshop projects. Besides teaching the high school classes, Mr. Schuelke also had an adult vocational class of I7 students on two nights a week. Page Eighteen Further stenographic and clerical work is gained by working for a faculty member to whom each student is assigned at the beginning of the year. This year found an increasing number of boys preparing for jobs along a commercial line. The seniors can present actual proof of their accomplishments in typing and shorthand classes. Twenty-six fourth year students secured their Order of Artistic Typing certificates, and thirty-three of them their eighty, one-hundred, and one-hundred- twenty word a minute shorthand transcript awards. Dorothy Weiss and Helen Boettcher were the first two to earn the one-hundred-twenty word awards. 'A' 1. Buddy Weinand shows Mr. Egge1't's senior bookkeepers how it's done. 2.

Senior shorthand students. for Home Tasks The manual arts classes fell in line with the school's defense effort, making stretchers for the West Bend Emergency Squad, and model planes for the use and training of the aviation cadets of the United States Navy. The stretcher-making project was undertaken by the fourth year drafting class. At the request of Dr. Kauth, and using lumber donated by the Brit- tingham and l-lixon Lumber Company and canvas salvaged from the panels enclosing the City Park baseball diamond, the boys made a dozen sturdy stretchers. These are to be used by the city's Emer- gency Squad for emergency work. Cooperating in a nation-wide program of mod- el-plane building, the manual arts classes also worked on fifty different aircraft models. Thirty boys cut, glued and painted models, following pat- terns issued by the Navy Department. These models are to be used for study purposes by the naval avia- tion cadets. Prolonged study of the models enables the cadets to recognize any ship on sight, from a far distance, for when viewed from a distance of 35 feet, they are the exact size of a ship flying one-half mile from the observer. ir 5.

Something new has been added to the school curriculum in the form of Spanish, taught by Miss Huff, who also teaches it in the vocational classes.

Under the very efhcient coaching of Bob Caldwell the team was soon groomed into a fighting machine. ln the first two games of the season, with Port Washington and Oconomowoc, the local cagers couldnlt seem to get going, dropping both games. However, the tables were turned in the next game with Ripon when Caspari sank a free throw for the winning point just before the final horn blew. The next four tilts with Waupun, Horicon, Port, and Hartford, proved to he nip-and-tuck affairs. Despite the high-scoring of Schroeder, Hancock, and Prechtel, the Red and White lost each game by a very slight margin. Th HAH S d Rough-house in the Out to win, in the next game the Red and White nosed out the Columbus Cardinals in the last I0 seconds of play on a free shot by George Altendorf. The following Friday the team rolled over Berlin to the tune of 33 to 20. Fresh from victory, the Red and White ran up against the Beaver Dam, Mayville and Hartford quintets. Failing to balance the scoring power of these three teams, the locals dropped all the tilts, ending the season with three defeats. A fast and snappy B squad, coached by Karl Kuss, turned in a fair record this season. It gained 3 conference wins and 2 non-conference wins out of a total of I2 games played. The outstanding players were Kenny Veit, Ralph Klein, and Cy Kluever. e qua Faculty-Varsity Game The HBH Squad Passing, free-shots, and buckets.

Coach Caldwell instilled much drive and will to play, but the season turned out to be a tough luck campaign for the Benders. They did, however, set some of the better teams back on their heels and tied three games. The loss column was a little high- er with four chalked up against the Benders. After only a few weeks of practice the Benders went to Plymouth and held their opponents to a scoreless tie. Skinny Altendorf was the chief reason why the highly touted Beaver Dam team didnlt run all over West Bend. The Benders followed this defeat with an- other tie against Port, Jerry Kies getting back into the game and smashing through for a touchdown. The Berlin lndians played iiwahooi' and rompecl over the Benders to the tune of 26 to I3. Schalles ripped off 35 yards, and Kies made a line plunge to account for the two West Bend scores. The Benders, smarting from defeat, then tore up the turf at Ripon to tie the champions of the conference. The line played rough foot- ball with Jerry ul-linklen Kies and Pippen Heid carrying the leather with plenty of drive. Horicon tripped the Benders, but it took everything they had to do it. Kies blocked three punts in this thriller and fell on the last one in the end zone for the score. The final game of the season against Cooney was perhaps the hardest fought game of the year. Hank Gumm was the stalwart in the line while Petri and Heid shone at left half and quarterback, respectively. Don Schroeder did some very effective punting to carry the enemy back to their own goal many times. Otten, Hron, Pete, Sonnen- berg, Kratzer, Marth, and Rolfs played hard, good football throughout the season. But the '41 season dealt many injuries to star players, such as Don C-lander and Hose Hancock, who were laid up for the football term. Coach Caldwellis chief assistant was lVlr. Runkel.

Page Twenty-Hve Breaking the Tape The l94I cinder season proved to be as successful as could be predicted. Although Coach Jack Runkel was handicapped in the amount of variable material he had, he soon trained two of the best runners in the Little Ten Conference, Ray I-linsenkamp in the mile, and Ray Becker in the half-mile. ln the first meet of the season at Port Washing- ton, April l9, Port took first, followed by Hartford and West Bend. The local cinder men managed only two first places. These were scored by Ray Hinsenkamp and Ray Becker. The squad did ob- tain a number of thirds and fourths for a total of 44 to the winner's 87M points. Traveling to Whitehsh Bay, our boys met the state Class B track champions and Port Washington in a triangular meet on April 26. Ray Hinsenkamp set a new record of 4:54.3 in the mile, and Ray Becker, whose time was 2:l0.2, again placed first in the half-mile. The squad Won their first track meet on April 29 when the local team played host to Oconomo- woc. The meet was won easily with West Bend ob- taining a majority of first places. Three Benders qualified at the Sectional meet at Port Washington on May I0 to go to the state track meet. These were Ray Hinsenkamp, mileg Ray Becker, half-mile: and John Schalles, high hurdles. On lVlay I9 the Red and White traveled to Bea- ver Dam for the Little Ten meet. Ray Hinsenkamp again won the mile, his time being 4:54.8. The out- come of the meet found West Bend sixth with ISM points and Hartford the Little Ten title Winner. At the State Track Meet held at Madison on May 24, two West Bend runners placed at the finish line. These were Ray Becker, third in the 8,80-yard dash and our Little Ten champion, Ray Hinsen- kamp, fourth in the mile, for a total of 5 points for West Bend. 1941 Little Ten Baseball Champions.

This baseball team could well have been called the Bombers instead of Benders because they actually did some very heavy bombing with their war clubs. When a team can compile an average of eleven runs per game and hold their opponents to an average of two runs per game, they are truly champions. The outstanding factor of their success is per- haps the team balance. Team balance makes cham- pions, and West Bend's team balance was superior to any other team that it met. The team was star- studded throughout, from substitute to regular. An incident of this was shown when Hank Gumm be- came ill. Clyde Roehrdanz was there to step in and did a wonderful job of catching. The coaching was also super. Coach Holzhueter led the team with his fight and scrap, and every player did his utmost. When a run was needed, they would go out and get it. Some of these mighty sluggers were Don Rounseville, Bob Bohn, Bob Beck, Howie Glander, Allen Ciriacks, Bob Caspari, LeRoy Hausmann, Clyde Roehrdanz, Jim Tangney, Hank Gumm, and pitchers Ralph Duenkel and Ar- dell Schmidt. Better pitching than that offered by Don Glan- der and Ralph Duenkel cannot be found. ln only Balance Makes Champions two cases did their team need the extra runs which they scored, for the earned runs allowed by these brilliant pitchers averaged very low. They white- washedn Mayville, Horicon, and Kewaskum. The Benders easily Won the title in the Southern Division getting only a little stiff competition from l-loricon. ln the Northern Division Beaver Dam took the title. The two title holders then met for the grand championship of the Little Ten Conference at Mayville, a neutral diamond. It was a nip and tuck battle until Bob Bohn and Don Rounseville began their barrage of long hits. They got three and two hits respectively. Don Glander pitched stellar ball for the Benders by striking out fourteen batters and allowing only 7 hits. The game ended with West Bend on the long end of a 9 to 5 score, undis- puted champion of the 1941 Little Ten season, coached by lrvin Holzhueter of our agriculture de- partment. Mr. I-lolzhueter's baseball playing began I3 years ago on a diamond on his father's farm, and today he has earned the coveted vote as most valu- able baseball player in the West Bend City League. His batting average places him fourth in the Land O' Lakes League, with a percentage of .4l9. INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS OF THE '41 SEASON AB R H E BA Donald Glander . . .

Getting in the Swing The spring of I94I found the golfers raring to get started, but with an unfortunate handicap, inex- perience. However, the season may be considered fairly successful as the Benders won about 40 per cent of their matches. The team was composed of the following: freshman, Bob Rolfsg sophomore, Robert Kaempferg junior, Warren Bucheltg sen- ior, Dan Flaherty, with the alternates being jun- ior, Bob Schacht, and senior, Paul German. Bob Kid Rolfs was considered the most consistent player on the team, and Coach Roy Grignon holds high hopes for him. On April 29, West Bend met Waupun, result- ing in a victory for the Red and White. During the season the squad placed third in each of the four quadrangular meets at Hartford, Page Twenty-eight May 23 Beaver Dam, May 75 West Bend, May 16, Oconomowoc, May l7. ln a meet with six teams at Mayville on May 2l, West Bend came out on the long end of the scores, and placed fifth.

Girls Are Athletes Basketball, wiener roasts, electioneering, Held hockey, WB's, all were a part of a year's program for the Girls, Athletic Association. The aim of the G. A. A. is to promote girls' sports, sports- manship, and social life. These aims were well accomplished in the very full program. After starting the year with a bang, the girls' fall activities included Held hockey, initiation activity, and elections. Rough and tumble field hockey provided the girls with a lot of excitement, fun, and occasion- ally, a battered shin. Sad to say, the early cold weather prevented playing the usual interclass tournament in this sport. The snappy, heated fall campaigns culminat- ed in the G. A. A. election. This year a senior sweep put Joy Schneider in the presidents chair, Jackie l-lood as vice-president, and placed Schat- zie Nielsen, Dot Weiss, and lVlutzie Hetebrueg on the board as secretary-treasurer, point secretary, and sports manager, respectively. Throughout the fall the prospective members were scurrying about accumulating the necessary lO0 points needed for membership. These points were earned by participating in accredited sports and games. ln December, those who met the qualifications were inducted into the association by Stunt Week and an initiation party. With winter came volleyball and basketball, two sports well loved by all the girls.

With a roll of drums, flags waving, and candidates throwing kisses fcanclyl to the crowd, the first election of student body officers of West Bend High was under way. A new era in student administration was ushered ing new means were established to bring about the maximum of student control over student affairs. For a week in the early months of the semester an intensive campaign was held to elect a student president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer. Primaries were held in each class, resulting in the following line-up for the ensuing race: president, Ralph Bennett vs. George Peteg vice-president, Bernadine Benicke vs. Lloyd Kralg secretary-treas- urer, Aubrey Herman vs. Mirabel Hansen. Then several days were allowed for the electioneering. The walls and blackboards were lettered with advice to the voters, and any number of stump-addresses were delivered to willing listeners. The campaign culminated in an assembly at which each candidate presented his case. Then came the big day. Voting polls were set up for each class, and the election officials were duly instructed and sworn in. Anxious students waited a day to hear the results, then the Campus Clippern came out with an EXTRA! The first student body officers chosen were: president, Ralph Bennett, vice-president, Lloyd Kralg secre- tary-treasurer, lVlirabel Hansen. Ralph fulfilled completely every claim of his election campaign. Behind him he had three years Page Thirty Counting the Results of the Student Senate election: G. Grogan, M. Hansen, G.

Throughout the year he showed him- self capable of keeping the Senate alive, of leading its work. As student body president, Ralph exempli- fied an all-round student. Besides his very extensive speech work, which carried him into the fields of debate and extemp speaking, he was active in the band, orchestra, and glee clubs, and on top of all this, maintained a scholastic average high enough to keep him near the top of the honor roll. For vice-president, the students had one of the most respected sophomores, Lloyd Kral. l..loyd's many friends were eager to have him elected, be- cause of his pleasing personality and ability. l..loyd's prowess as a basketball player was proven this year when he became one of the valuable members of the A squad. ln all of his school work and social relations, Lloyd retained his reputation as a capable student and a likeable fellow. With lVlirabel Hansen, valedictorian of the '42'ers filling the secretary-treasurership, there was no need to worry about records and funds. lVlira- bells capability, trustworthiness, initiative, and friendliness have long ranked her far above an average high school girl. Few were the activities in which she did not engage, and in all her efforts, scholastically as well as extra-curricular, her best was everyone's best. With the year's program thus successfully launched, the Student Senate dug in for the hard s ft 1 XXJ K 'B 10 N '1 P 11 ' ' work ahead. Already they had conducted a valu- able lesson in citizenship through the election. Now, with the annual homecoming events approaching, the Senate assumed the task of supervising the par- ade and stunts. Competition among classes was removed, and each guidance group, club, and activ- ity was urged to enter floats in the parade. Each plan for a Hoat had to be submitted to the Senate committee for approval before it could be entered. Instead of individual stunts, general all-school co- operation was stressed in a tremendous build-up for the homecoming celebration. Next, permanent committees were set up to discharge the duties of the Senate. A Lost and Found Committee operated a department for the benefit of the students. A Social Committee worked with the faculty in planning school dances. ln view of the war situation, a Defense Committee was estab- lished to sponsor school activities which would help in the defense program. The metal salvage contest sponsored by this committee brought in 4,570 pounds of scrap metal. The problem of locker inspection was turned over to the Student Senate, and soon inspections were made to see that all lockers were locked. A system of penalties soon solved this problem. The Freshman Orientation Committee began work on the second handbook for distribution to next year's freshmen and others who desire copies. Working in harmony with, and yet almost inde- pendent of the Senate, were the four class organiza- tions. All class matters were attended to by the president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer of each particular class. These officers, too, were elect- ed in a legal manner in the fall elections. It wasn't long after school had begun that the freshies began to absorb a little of the enthusiasm about the approaching class elections. When the big day arrived, they elected a slate of capable and will- ing workers to launch their high school career. Bill Boldt became their first president and guided them in the new experiences. As vice-president Bernadine Benicke bore out the faith of her friends as a tal- ented girl. Ralph Althaus, also a promising speech student, filled the responsibilities of secretary-treas- urer capably and honorably. The sophomores threw themselves into the fray of campaigning with fervor. Out of the numerous signs put up by the various candidates for class offices came the names of three successful vote-get- ters. Fritz Held fpopular hero from Jacksonl was the victor in the race for president, and it was his job to bridle and lead the overflowing exuberance of his class. To help him, the class elected Wernie Martin, and filling out the all-male slate was Bill Jaeckels, friendly secretary-treasurer. Plunging into the campaign with all the gusto of real veterans, the juniors worked seriously at the task of electing that tremendously important char- acter, the president of the class of '43 who auto- matically becomes king of the junior prom. After a most exciting battle, good-looking Jerry Kies emerged victorious. As he assumed his responsibil- ities and carried them out faithfully, his classmates were proud to have elected such a leader. Basketball player par-excellence, Aubrey Herman, backed up Jerome as vice-president. ln charge of the growing funds of the class was George Pete, hard-hitting football player and talented artist. The seniors, too, realized the seriousness of electing a president to represent them in their last year. After heated discussion and deliberation they chose Elmer Schmidt, a versatile musician who was well-liked for his friendly personality. To fill Elmeris shoes in case of an emergency, Willard Dhein was elected: Willardis genial disposition, friendly quiet manner, and evident capability earned him this honor. Records and funds were under the care of jean Horlamus, journalist, able worker, and a girl of irresistible charm and personality. One of the five social events of the year for Senate members was their banquet at which they were honored by being able to have Mr. D. Kenny as the speaker of the evening. Student administration of student affairs this year reached a new peak. Proper organization was set up for the all-school officialdom. Throughout the year everyone profited by the work of the Stu- dent Senate and class administrations. Page Thirty one TM . l L 7 Pigtails, Buckteeth, and Freckles Top Row: R. Dombrowski, L. Hart, L.

' Page Thirty-four 4. 1 Taking the Measurements for Graduation Gowns Vice-president Willard Dhein President Elmer Schmidt Secretary-Treasurer' Jean Horlamus We're the Graduating lass And We7ve Had So Many Good Times at VVest Bend. Here's Why' We Enjoyed Our Four Years - - Electing our freshman class officers was new and exciting. We chose Jack Rolfs president, George Altendorf vice-president, Joy Schneider secretary, and Mirabel Hansen treasurer. The i938 Home- coming lacked no spirit from our quarter. Though we placed fourth, we enjoyed its frantic excitement and thrills. The upperclassmen took notice when Buddy Weinand won a WB for his skill in tennis. To administer the affairs of our class for the second year, we chose George Altendorf president, Joy Schneider vice-president, and Calvin Abel sec- retary-treasurer. That winter the girls nabbed the G. A. A. class basketball championship. Our Hard- Times Party went over with a bang, as anyone will testify. And that year six boys and a girl made us feel two inches taller when each won an official WB. Guiding us in our involved but happy junior year were Henry Gumm, president and prom king: Elmer Schmidt, ready to fill Hank's shoes in case of an emergency: and Jean Horlamus, hard-work- ing secretary-treasurer. Our l..umberjack Partyi' rated a large attendance and much applause. The suspense grew as we anticipated the choice of the prom queen, and all were pleased when Hank chose radiant Joy Schneider to reign with him over the glittering Stardust Prom. We departed from the tradition of many years when we staged this prom in the larger gymnasium of the new grade school, instead of in the high school. New honors came in the spring, for Ralph Ben- nett was a member of the state championship debate team, and l..eroy Weinand won the Little Ten Ten- nis Championship. At the WB Banquet our group was awarded 34 out of 79 WB's open to underclass- men. To top it off, our boys won five of the eight Pick Trophies, including the all-round cup which went to Austin Hancock. Three girls and eight boys from our tribe were delegates to Girls' and Boys' States conducted by the American Legion. ln i942 we elected Elmer Schmidt, Willard Dhein, and Jean Horlamus to head our class. ln a dynamic political campaign in the fall two of our candidates were elected for student body offices. We chose Jean Horlamus as the school representa- tive in the Daughters of the American Revolution contest. Again the debate team became state champs, and this time there were three representa- tives of our class in that victory: Ralph Bennett, Calvin Huber, and Mirabel Hansen. Staging our class play, Lady Spitfire, was grand fun, and it turned out to be a fine treat for the first-nighters. Henry Gumm, athlete par excellence, was chosen the first president of the newly organized WB Club. We could ramble on, telling of our accomplish- ments, our errors, and the l00 and I experiences. Now you can see why we liked our school days. We liked the scholastic achievements, the friends we made, the things we did, and the fun we had. Page Thu ty five Calvin Abel Virginia Berend James F.
