That future as it will be-as it must be-built, will not come cheaply, but the prize is well worth the price. The prize is to live as a free people with every right and opportunity to achieve the very ultimate in this life. The price -young men must go forth to protect the way of life, must guard this land, must fight. in other lands, that the whole world may be free from tyranny. L, Many of those who were students of West Milwaukee in the past have fought, and some have died. Perhaps though every hope and prayer says not, many more shall follow their steps in the ways of war. lt's the men who are fighting now who shall prevent this, who .shall keep these others from the same fate. They stand with strength and courage-a firm foundation for the peaceful world of tomorrow. These 'are the men who have kept the terror and tragedy of actual war from our shores. They have kept this country secure to move ever onward and upward in the sciences, arts ,Y industry, agriculture, and education. K. They have helped build this country into something greater than man ever dreamed of. And they will keep on building until it is beyond the ability of mortal man to destroy. Until that day, however, mortal man must defend it, That this nation, under God, shall not perish from the earth. So we dedicate this annual to our servicemen, past and present, to those who have given up everything-up to and in- cluding their very Iives-to preserve the peace of this, the greatest land on earth. 1. 1 Ks I I 4 ,f-f ' ,,,,,,-v AH-Hd-Hnlnihaiinnan--nuns in- 1 , A wtf- un in an ul a in an-di-8.8-h.D'-yll ff fm ,,- ff L, ik W fm :wg .n ,VSV-v ,M...,,1,'z::q.,,,,.,., J ,.....n,,Nm V Hin.

This year's football team even though they didn't have'a topnotch record was a spirtied team with remarkable fight. Man for man they were usudl- ly outweighed but seldom outplayed. The team again played one of its best games on Homecoming as it tra- ditionally does. As usual, our Homecoming opponent was one of the top teams in the conference and only a single point divided the two teams, but a defeat as such is nothing to be ashamed of. The first string made up of mostly seniors, will be hit hard by graduation but capable juniors and sophomores are ready to step in. Sen-ior half- backs, Jerry Tomasino and Jerry Lyles, Fullbock Glenn Lindner, Quarter- back Don Kuglitsch, and Linemen, Ken- Lynch, Jim Groh, Eugene Salzwe- dal, Bob Miller, Bill Wielgus and Jerry Kopp,will be very hard to replace. However, regulars Dick Funke,, Bill Mishefske, Joe Hart, Dewey West- over, Rich Valdes, Dick Zurich, and Ray Putzi are coming back for a boom- ing year on the gridiron.

VARSITY BASKETBALL Glenn Koehn: Guard. lSrl Glenn's defensive play and offensive ability made him the most valuable player on the squad. His rebounding and ballhhandling will be missed next year. Jock Kiiek: Guard. lSr.J ln his first year as a varsity player Jack showed promise. His ball-handling at times proved important to the teams suc- cess. Gary Nelson: Guard. lSophi Gary shows every promise of becoming an outstanding player. He possesses speed, poise, and an ability to score. Dwayne Westover: Guard. Uri Alternating between two positions lguard and centerl on this year's team, Dwayne should prove valuable in his sen- ior year. Richard Witt: Guard lSr.J Richard reported for basketball his senior year. Lack of game experience and not lack of ability kept Dick from playing more. Jock Von Darn: Center. Uri Jack lacked speed, but his ability to score with either hand near the basket made him a great asset to the team. His timely scoring won several games for West Milwaukee. Glenn Lindner: Center-Guard. lSr.i Glenn, the only letterman on the squad, had speed and scoring ability but lacked height. His ball-hand- Iing in the center offensive spot was good and permitted teammates to score. Thomas Kneusel: Center. iSophi Tom was the first string center in spite of the fact that he was only a sophomore. His rebounding, shooting and team play should again place him as one of the outstanding players re- turning next year. Jack Rychner: Forward. lSr7 Speed, aggressiveness, and fine ball hand- ling marked Jack as a good player. His speed was noticeable on a squad which, generally speaking, was not fast. Warren Schwenner: Forward lSri Warren's competitive spirit made: him an outstanding offensive player. Lack of size was compensated for by a desire to win and driving speed. Kenneth Lynch: Forward lSri Displaying rebounding and shooting ability, Kenneth would have developed into a fine player had, he seen fitvto par- ticipate in basketball all four years. Ray Putzi: Forward lJr.J Ray showed improvement as the season pro- gressed. Though not too fast, he made good use of his height and shoot- ing ability. lf he continues to develop we can expest much of him next year. Mike Lukasehewich: Forward. lSri Though an inconsistant scorer, Mike did end up high in League scoring for the season. His rebounding and scoring in the Waukesha and Hale games were responsible for team vic- tories. Gerald Tomasino: Forward. lSr.7 Another of the Mustang mites . Tommy's passing proved a deciding factor in West Milwaukee's win over Nathan Hale. Mr. Beattie: Coach Beattie, who is rated one of'the best coaches in prep circles, did a fine job this year considering the excellent competition in the conference. Henry Hoffman: Handy Hank , one of the managers, had a smile for all and as a result kept up the team spirit. Dennis Gruszynski: Denny helped the team a great deal as manager and was well liked by all the boys. 41 wk 3,1 'N 'X 1 x A , f , x i 'H x .M A , .1 1 ce: K, KA. ,. , T - , ' wp' , ' wi 7 X ' , 'F' X' 1 f ' R- .jf r 4 4 - 'A I 0, ,M L A sf' , ,yr -1.

The summer of 1951 saw the first West Milwaukee High School baseball team in the Milwaukee Suburban High School League. A unique feature of this baseball league is that although school closes in June, the league continues playing throughout the summer months in order to give high school boys an opportunity to participate in a W.l.A.A. sponsored activi- ty. Our record produced a single victory for the 1951 season, but the boys developed some valuable experience for the coming year.

Traveling with a party of high school pals we see our class as it will appear in the year 1962 The sun was setting, and Bill Wielgus was getting a little tired, but his job as a chaffeur for three old maids, Sallie Arens, Gloria Dosta, and Helen Stenske, was rather interestina. They had covered small portions of the city that they had left ten years previously to travel world-wide. It's really funny to see Jim Sperka and Berl Benjamin running a Lonely Hearts Club, Bill overheard. Bill smiled and said, To see John Nolan as the mayor is a surprise. They stopped for supper at a secluded restaurant and night spot, where Eric Sander, the Valentino of the age, was master of ceremonies. During their interesting chat, Eric said that Tony Torcivia was an MC at another spot a few blocks down, so Bill and our three old maids stopped at .the place that Eric spoke of, The Lohr Lure, owned by Douglas Lohr and run by his partner, Jerome Jatczak. A few minutes after they sat down at one of the front tables, the entertainment started. Tony, the MC, introduced the most famous soft-shoe trio in the country: Glenn Lindner, Don Kuglitsch, and Jean O'Connell. They were terrific in their routine. The next act was the very unusual Orn 8- Ohm Company, a troop of jazz ballet dancers assisted by Sophie Goletz and Isabell Adserias, the female counterparts to Charles Orn and Eugene Ohm. Bill's party went back stage after the conclusion of the show. They talked over old times, and Glenn mentioned that Jim Groh was slightly injured when his hot rod hit an embankment in a recent road race. Glenn said he wished to visit Jim and wanted a little company, so Bill and his three passengers agreed to go with him. Upon reaching the hospital, they met Judy Bunzel, who had twisted her ankle when she fell off the platform in a recent burlesque show- seems she was laughing too hard. They talked for a short time and then left to take a short ride through the country side, stopping at a sight un- common in those parts, a sign reading, Western Horses For Sale-con- tact Jim Foshey or Charles Roubik at your convenience. They didn-'t stop because they were already behind schedule. The Park was their choice of hotels. ln the cocktail lounge they were sur- prised to see six girls from school: Edna Casebeer, Muriel Eggert, Mary Schauz, Patsy Roberts, and Lillian Mueller, who were now the only-exist- ing, all-girl Dixieland Band. The best part was their leader, Diane Lind- quist, and, strangely enough, the music was great! Early the next morning their first stop was to see Bob Brent, w.ho had gained world renown as Prime Minister to Iceland, but since he wasn't home, they stopped at Jerry Tomasino's house. Jerry was known to many as the best tree surgeon in the city. They found Jerry at home, so they had a rather lengthy talk, during which Jerry mentioned that five old classmates, Ronald Millious, Charles Kueng, Dana Meyer, Pat Putzi, and Shirley Petrie were touring the world as Shakespearean actors repro- 69 ducing Shakespeare's plays for the modern working classes of today. They left Jerry's house just before noon and stopped for dinner at a restau- rant just down the street from the Riverview. Upon entering they met the three L's : K. Lynch, M. Lilach, and T. Little, who were known world-wide for their adventures in the deep, dark jungles of Africa. They heard Ken Lynch's story of the way Mike Lilach saved Tom from the fangs of a huge lion. After a fine meal they saw the Shakespearean actors, who were terrific. They then proceeded to see some old pals who lived close by. The first ones were Rita Pufahl and Carole Naraus, who ran a diaper serviceg second, was Joe Prusak, who now was running for governor, with Richard Arrowood, his running mate, for lieutenant governor on the same ticket. The circus was just pulling into town as they left Joe's house and Sallie suggested they see it. Immediately after supper, Bill purchased four tickets for the front row. Sittisg comfortably in their seats and looking at their programs, our group observed that the following names were familiar: Bill Reinke, strong man, Mike Lukashewich, lead clown, Mary Ann Millonia, bearded ladyg James Rutlin, James Mantley, and Barbara Vigo, a death-defying troupe of high-wire actors, Pat White, a lion trainer, plus the circus orchestra leader, Ken Scherbert. The four spectators were terrifically amused and after a short chat returned to their hotel room. Here they bumped into Jean Meier, who, assisted by Jack Rychner, the head waiter for the hors- es, was gaining rapid renown as a dietitian for the livery stables. The party went to their hotel rooms and then straight to bed. Upon awakening, Gloria suggested having breakfast in bed. The order was placed and, after a short pause, in came Glenn Koehn with a tray of food. Glenn chatted with them for a while and announced that in the afternoon he was to dine with Andy Patin, now owner of a plea- sure ship on Lake Michigan, with Henry Hoffman as Captain, Warren Schwenner, head chef, and Janet Sidoff, chief hostess. Glenn soon left and decided to see the Variety Show at the Park Arena that afternoon, completely unaware that the show was owned and operated by Jack Kijek and that the star attraction was Dan Blawat, a new Clark Gable, a com- plete surprise flown in from Hollywood at great expense, and that in the supporting cast were Arlene Zekich, a singing violinist, the five S's: Pat Strandt, Pat Sullivan, Doris Strazishar, Barbara Stokke and Barbara Som- mers as a barber-shop quartet plus one, Lauretta Logan and Muriel Leg- gett, a pair of women jugglers, and Connie Rath, a conicycle artist. They were speechless at the show they witnessed until Helen spotted Joanne Tabushing waiting for her private taxi driven by Don Sumner, who had been hired especially for his ability to get through the heavy traffic. Dur- ing tht group's chatting, Joanne announced she had written a book called, You and Your Victory Garden , and was giving lectures on lt. The had su r with Joan Ruszkiewicz and Bev Romadka, who were promineflt shoe ggsigners and models, along with Cliff Ahonen and Gil Benzel, who were employed by the same firm to design men's shoes. They talked long enough for Joan to mention that Charles Commers and Stan Missling were partners in 0 f0ffY Sl 0P neu' the LOOP- Aff the met Tom Schopf, who was now an undertaker, oln his wayefashEgfrMar,garet Sageser and Adele Schimke, who were T.W.A. s 70 only women pilots, give a lecture on Women's Place in the Air . They left Tam, after a little chat, and went into a night spot called the Little Dynamite While sitting at the first table, they noticed a sign on the second table reading Reserved , and they were quite amused,when Roger Cronce, Rose Wiedeman, Jaan Eastberg, Margaret Fritz, Dolores Heffer- nan, and Shirley Leverence came in, because whoever would have dream- ed Roger would be president of the Harp Players of America , the only man to master the harp in this modern age of women harpists? They had just started talking when the show opened with MC Russ Burgett, who was known as the best archery hunter in the U.S. announcing t'he greatest magician in existence, Marty Fleckenstein, who was assisted by Mae Jones and Beulah Knoll, who were in their spare time, popcorn pop- pers for Red Dot Popcorn Company. ln the midst of the performance an interruption came for a request for a doctor for Jerry Kopp, who had fallen off his shoe-shine stand outside the Little Dynamite . while chatting with Pete. Jerry, brought into the club, was found to be uninjured, he said he had recived long letters from Jerry Witt and Bob Miller, who who were Alaskan woods guides. Bob had written that Lester Gumieny, a snow shoe repairman, and Jim Bensene, who ran a dog ,sled bus service, were coming home for a few days and were bringing back Charlotte Clement and Dolores Hankel, the only existing women canoe explorers in the world. The next act was an unusual but interesting one, consisting of six girls: Geraldine Anderson, Kath Carter, Alda Giersbach, Ruth Gratz, Eliza- beth Pape, and Pat Schmitz, who were world-known for doing folk dances on roller skates. They did the Hula-Hula an wheels---it was terrific! They saw Ray Plutschak, who was touring the U.S. with the only set of Hindu balls in existence. In the morning they planned to leave for South America. In their ex- citement they hadn't slept too well. Early that morning ,Bill went down to get an early morning paper. While reading this, he saw Marilyn Butler and Charlotte DilIon's names in the baby sitters' services offered column, he had quite a laugh over it. The group finally got packed and were off to the airport, where they met Bonnie Froemming and Jean Freuden, who sang songs and danced in the sendoff shows for celebrities.
