West Milwaukee High School - Wemihi Yearbook (Milwaukee, WI)

Text from Pages 1 - 100 of the 1941 volume:

1 ll ,r. (L [yLa - i i4 y y - - - 2?U 1-- ' Published By 1941 SENIOR CLASS MILWAUKEE U. S. A. WISCONSIN I I CZZE I I I V E, the graduating class of 1941, do dedi- cate this thirteenth edition of WEMIHI, to all those who believe in, cherish, honor and practice the ideals of Democracy. In this trying and perilous age, Democracy has done for us, what no other governing pow- er could have done for its up and coming gen- eration in education, recreation and all other lines of life which lead to the continued success of our government. The Senior class sincerely hopes that the pages of this volume will bring out the thoughts, words, and deeds of students who are happy, carefree, Democratic Americans, and hope that this may be an inspiration, an inducement and an influence for the West Milwaukee High School students in future years. AS the number of school days remaining in this school year grows short, as the weeks and months disappear, and as our high school careers come to an end, those of us who will be leaving the portals of this learned institution feel somewhat depressed and sad as we look over the path we have trod at West Milwaukee. The years we spent at WEMIHI were probably a few of the best years of our life. We stop to wonder if we made use of them to the best of our ability. In five, ten, fifteen, or even twenty-five years from now, when we open the covers and turn the pages of this book everything contained in its covers will bring back memories of our high school, our teachers, school mates, friends, our classrooms, assemblies and all club and sport activities. We will remember all the trouble we caused, and the happiness we found, and we will come to the conclusion that the foundation of our lives had been laid within the walls of our Alma Mater and that it was for us to build higher and higher until we reached our goal. This edition is one of which we can be justly proud and v e hope the book is up to all the expectations of our loyal supporters. C- .

He is the official representative elected by the voters to work with the other Board Members in running the schools. The good Board Member never uses the prestige and influ- ence of his office for private gain. He represents the taxpayer, but never at the expense of the student. He is the representa- tive of the young people of the community, and assumes re- sponsibility for their educational welfare. The good Board Member never allows his actions to be biased, nor does he permit prejudices to enter into his delib- erations. His philosophy dictates that the interests of the boys and girls come first in every educational program. The School Board Members, whose pictures appear on this page, recognize the responsibilities of their respective offices. West Milwaukee ' s educational and recreational programs car- ried on by the schools attest to that fact. Whk EDMOND LEMAY Direcfor JOHN ZAWERSCHNIK Cletk WILLIAM STUTZMAN Treasurei [6} u Q . 1 OMORROW is before you. You will be joining forces with thousands of other graduates from high schools throughout the land. May all of you become a mighty power in helping to forward our democratic way of life. May all of you join the struggle against despotism and reaction. The education you have received in high school should help to fortify you against the dictators, the tyrants, and the autocrats, who are opposed to our American Way of Life . American Youth, aided by education and bolstered by the sage counsel of his elders, will never become a minion of the dictator, a slave of the State, or a pawn in the scheme of despots. The American Way guarantees life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness to all within its scope. You, the Youth, with courage and resolution, must decree that the American Way of Life must survive and flourish. A great and good America expects each and every one of you to be true, active, loyal citizens of a greater and better America. MATHEW BARKLEY. [7] Py Anton Diehl Kaye, B.S. Becker, B A.

Outstanding Underclassmen [35] V From various statistics gathered, Wemihi will have a fine group of sophomores next year. Only in school for one year, already they have shown great promises in various fields. They are very active in sports, and in everything they do, enthusiasm is with them continually. Results of a recent vote show that there are some very able leaders in the class who are out- standing in scholarship, athletic ability, personality, and other honorable traits. U  The Sophomore class is quite large in number. They have proven to be ambitious by their ardent interest in extra-curricular activities. There are some very capable students en- rolled in the first year shorthand and typing classes. Mr. Crowley reports that some of his best swimmers are sophomores. On the whole, this class is doing good work. These facts prove that next year a fine class of Juniors will be attending Wemihi. y This June a fine class of students will graduate into the Senior class at West Milwaukee. This class has shown great talent in various fields. Many of them are outstanding in schol- astic achievements and others in the field of sports. The majority of them are active club members. Evidence that they are cooperative is shown by the success of the Junior Prom, which this class plans and promotes with the aid of Mr. Tangney, faculty adviser.

This year they won five and lost two games, which gave them second place. Ahhough the team was one of the lightest teams in the conference, it proved itself to be one of the most cap- able teams on the gridiron. Led by Captain Jimmy Micale who made nine touchdowns in the season the team won from West Allis, Cudahy, Whitefish Bay, Wauwatosa, and South Milwaukee. They lost to Waukesha and Shorewood. The final standings are above. ROBERT KOPISCH, end. Bob graduated in February and played two years on the varsity. He always played hard and was known for his defensive work. His lively spirit and his work will be missed next year. GORDON MATZ, end. Gordon is a junior and a very capable defensive man. He can also go up and catch those passes. CARL PAULSEN, ;ackle. Carl is a senior who has been playing football since he was a freshman. He was the mainstay of the West Milwaukee line and he messed up many plays for the opponents. He was one of the best place kickers in the conference, and was awarded by being placed on the All-Suburban second team. RICHARD PERKO, tackle. Perks is a junior. He will be the main cog in next year ' s team because of his outstanding performances this year. MARTIN RAEBEL, guard. Raebel is a senior boy who during his first year on the varsity was known for his hard playing and his never-tiring spirit and work. FRED ROZNIK, guard. Fritz is a junior. He was known for his hard and vicious tackling cmd will help next year ' s team a lot. DELBERT WAGE, center. Del, a sophomore, played well at this position which was a tough one. There will be plenty of action for him in the future and we know he will come out on top. ANDREW YUVAN, back. Andy, a junior who is known for his good running and untiring spirit, seems to have a good future ahead of him on the gridiron for Wemihi. WILLIAM JUHRE, back. Jersey, after completing three years on the varsity can be called a very good sig- nal caller and he could always carry the ball. WILLIAM ANDERSON, back. Bill, who will stay with the varsity for next year is known as a very good ball handler and a fine left-handed passer. WALTER NIEMCZYK, quarterback. Wally, a senior, was a good blocker and a smart quarterback. His spirit and playing will be missed next fall. DAVE FELKNER, quarterback. Davey is a very capable signal caller and will be expected to lead the team next year. He is also an able ball carrier. EUGENE ROSCHE, halfback. Eugene ' s specialty was taking the ball on wide end runs; he was also a ball hawk on intercepting the opponent ' s passes. DONALD KNUDSEN, halfback. Pee Wee ' was the smallest fellow on the team. He was the shiftiest runner and he came up with some long runs. His happy-go-lurky spirit and playing will be missed next year. JAMES MICALE, fullback. Mike has finished his fourth outstanding year on the varsity. He proved him- self to be the most outstanding back that Wemihi has had. He was noted as a triple-threat man and was also a smart signal caller. His sportsmanship and coolheadedness will be greatly missed. For his achievements, he was awarded by being named on the All-Suburban Dream Team, and by being named the most valuable player in Milwaukee County. ALLEN LUND, end. Allen, a senior, was the best pass receiver on the team and he always played a hard and good game. EARL CUTLER, tackle. Earl is a sophomore and this was his first year on the varsity. He is exp ted to bolster up the line next tall. ALOIS WERNER, tackle. Al, a senior, will be in the line-up next year and is expected to be a good bet. RICHARD ROZNIK, quarterback. Dick, a sophomore, was found to be fast and always ready for action. He saw quite a lot of action this year but much more is in store for him. HENRY FOX, tackle. Fox is a junior and is noted for his ability to fill in at several positions. He started out as a tackle, but later filled in at center and he did an admirable job. FRANK STENSON, guard. Stinky. a junior, was known for his deadly tackling. We hope to see more of it next year. HAROLD SAWICKI, center. Harold is a junior. He saw some action this year but an injury in midiseason kept him out of action. Nevertheless he had time to show his wares and much is expected from him ne5 year. MARK DRUML, halfback. Mark has proven himself to be a very capable backfield man. He is very shifty and is alwavs trvinq hard. LAWRENCE GRAFWALLNER, halfback. This was Graf ' s first year on the varsity team. He is a hard run- ner and has plenty of drive. He will be back next year to strengthen our backfield.

Although the Mustangs lost most of their games, they showed that they were an alert team, and they were always considered hard to beat. There were seven seniors on the team, who will be lost to next year ' s squad. Nevertheless, next year ' s group will have some veterans back and Coach Thompson should have some good material. The team stand- ings of the season of 1940-41 are above; JACK BISCHOFF, Center; Bish was one of the tallest players in the conference this year. This was his first year on the varsity and he was one of the best bets of the team. RICHARD HORN, Center; Dick has shown that he can play a good brand of basketball and a good season is expected from him next year. WALLACE FREDERIKS, Forward; Lefty has been on the varsity since he was a freshman and has had three good years for Wemihi. The last two years he has been named on the All Suburban Dream team. He has also been one of the leading scorers these last two years. His shifty floor playing and alertness were his qualificcrtions for an All Sub- urban man. ANDREW YUVAN, Forward; Andy who will play basketball next year, proved himself to be a very capable ball handler and all around basketball man. EDWARD KOEHN, Guard; Ed who will graduate in June, proved himself to be a valuable player. He always played an alert type of basketball and is known for his teamwork and spirit. JAMES MICALE. Guard; Mike was one of the few veterans on this year ' s team. He proved himself to be very valuable in getting points on his long shots. His all around play and spirit will be sorely missed. FRED SCHWEI, Guard; Fred, another newcomer to this year ' s varsity, always played a hard game and was a potential scorer with his long shots; he v ill be back next year to sink more shots for West Milwaukee. ROBERT KOPISCH, Center; Bob a senior, completed his basketball career for West Milwaukee in January, He was a very capable man in every way, and he could handle himself very well, WILLIAM ANDERSON, Forward; Bill, who was new on the team, surprised the crowd on various occasions with his left handed hook shots. He will be back again next year to help make a better showing for Wemihi. WILLIAM COLLINS, Forward; Ham has played two years on the varsity for Wemihi. His quick action and alert playing will be missed, JOHN HENDERSON, Guard; John, who is a Junior, played his first year for Wemihi, He is an able dribbler and a good team player. He should prove to be a valuable man next year. HAROLD GROMACKI, Forv ard; Babe who is one of the smallest players in the conference proved himself to be worth his weight in gold to his team. He was always sure o( getting points with his hook shots, but he is a Senior and will not be back next year. ARDIN NEITZKE, Guard; Arding, who has completed two years on the varsity, stands out as always playing a good and hard game He will not be back next year. [40] [41] V V Coach CROWLEY The Mustang Swimming team had a fairly successful season this year by win- ning six of their thirteen meets. They placed fifth in the suburban meet which was held at Waukesha and also placed fifth in the Waukesha relays. The team had hard luck at the Stale meet by only placing one man in the finals, Richard Perko, who placed fifth in the Individual medley. Graduation will take only three men from the squad: Paul Brenner, Theodore Nordseth, and Edward Puzach. Paul scored in the 200 yard free style and relay. Main events were the individual medley and relay. Edward swam in the 40 yard free and also the relay. The team of the future has many promising swimmers. Jack Rosewicz and William Zcthn, back strokers: Earl Winter and Frank Neuwald, free stylers; Richard Perko, breast stroker; Robert Siesco, back stroker; and John Stenson and Joe Sommers, fancy divers. The team was under leadership of W. F. Crowley, a former great swimmer. Glenn Stremke was the man- ager.

Through the eflorts of our principal, the state wrestling meet was held in the high school gym of West Milwaukee. Wemihi was the first school to have a quadrangular tournament in Wisconsin. The West Mil- waukee wrestling team was in fine shape for competition throughout the season. Some of the boys established records equal to that of any of She other interscholastic wrestlers in the state. Coach Lester Leahy was indeed pleased to have three state champions. John DeWitt, runner-up in the state tournament in 1940, was the winner of the 115 pound championship this year. Richard Roznik, only in his second year of wrestling, has become state champion at 145 pounds. He has shown that the Mustang boys really have good spirit. Orville Carlson won the honors for the 155 pound championship. He also won in the city meet. He had one of the best pinning records in the state for high school wrestling. William Underdale, who was the 95 pound state champion last year, almost repeated the championship this year at 105 lbs. He took second place in that class. James Micale came out late in the season, however, he learned and trained enough to become third place winner of the heavyweight division. West Milwaukee took second place in the state mee ' . The v roslling meet was a success in all eyes and it is hoped that it will be held in Milwaukee again next year. It is in view of this success that the Milwaukee Journal hopes to promote wrestling throughout the state in high school and in public gyms. We might have had a 165 pound champion, but Fred Roznik broke his leg and did not wrestle this year. The prospects of the next year ' s team is very promising. There will be the return of Richard Roznik, David Felkner, Earl Culler, Robert Rudolph, Jerome Probs,, Duane Elertson, Arthur Allen, Richard Sommers, John Kurer. Returning for only a half year will be Orville Carlson and Fred Roznik. they hope to give out all they have before they leave West Milwaukee. i Racine received its worst defeat in wrestling competition from the Mustangs, 28 V2 to 4Vz. A few of the scores were: Between South Division High and West Milwaukee, 6 to 27; between St. Charles Home and West Milwaukee, I ' z to 32y2, and b: tween Shorewood f igh and West Milwaukee, 3 to 34.

Regina leads this little group which consists of Jean Larson, Gertrude Lewein, Beverly McHenry and Va- silka Christ.

In choosing a topic of declamation, the most important element is a clear, concise article with certain movement and a definite climax. Interpretcrtion conducted by Miss Becker dwells upon work of an expressive nature. This class works on biographies and poetry. Miss Becker has chosen this type of work because it is necessary to interpret the article to the audience through facial expressions as well as emphatic speech. Oratory under the direction of Mr. Peters, is perhaps the most dynamic of the three groups. A strong voice plus a pleasant personality and good gesticulation of the hands equals a good orator.

Male Chorus Class Play [63] u u V Amid the setting of Old Mex- ico, Jack Rael and his orchestra beat out an old Mexican tune as King James Micale crowned the queen of his choice, Beverly McDonald, at the annual Junior Prom, May 18, 1940. The affair was an entire success with re- freshments being served. The walls were decorated with bril- liantly colored Mexican pictures and a picturesque wishing well made of imitation rock stood in one corner of the floor. A cry- stal ball threw darting shadows over the walls and floor. The brilliantly colored lights were soft and low. At the intermis- sion a floor show was given as an added attraction to the danc- ers. Souvenirs consisting of favors with Mexican pictures and calendars were given to all the ladies who attended the prom. Mr. Tangney was entire- ly pleased with the results, as the affair was under his charge. Although the weather was not favorable a large crowd was at hand to witness the occasion. [64] First Row: Betty Kocs, Doris Thekcm, Jane Small, Myron Mattmiller, Paul Brenner, Harold Gromacki, Jack Bischoff, Donald Flitsch. Second Row; Mr. Sowle, Regina Rogalski, Marion Nikolcms, LaVerne Binger, Betty Buckett, Bette Williams, Bettye Jane Butzlcrff, Violet Eckel, Dolores Sanhuber, Beverly McDonald, lone Pearson. Third Row: Harriet Guenther, Ruth Shaikis, Angeline Revelont, Lee Fairchild, David Hoffmann, Matthew Komatz, John Dewey, Glenn Stremke, John Fugger, William Collins. V With the much-needed excellent advice and help of Mr. Sowle, the senior class has been able again to put out a year-book. Since financing the publication was our biggest problem, it was imperative that our subscription campaign be s uccessful and that we sell advertis- ments. It was the cooperation of the entire student body and faculty with the necessarily persistent staff members in that all-important campaign which made this book possible. This book is composed of many small details, each of which called for the careful attention of the staff. Hard work and faithful effort on the part of each individual on the staff was re- quired to organize these details correctly into tne finished product. We have devoted much space to faculty and student snapshots, some of which were tak- en by our snapshot edi- tor, and the majority of which were contributed by the students and teachers themselves. We have chosen the most interesting ones for our snapshot pages. This year ' s Wemihi represents the best ef- forts of the staff and of Mr. Sowle, the faculty adviser. [65] L  : Happy memories . . .
