The Seniors gave us a gruelling introduction to high school life by initiating us on November 2. Y e certainly iooked Appealing” in our inside-out clothes. Highlights of our first year were the Variety Show which v e wrote and presen- ted to the student body and also our Freshman Party. (Remember the Chevs and Fords?) Our class started out well on itsf way by actively taking part in all the act- ivities offered at W.H.S. So ended our Freshman year------------ Our Sophomore year started with an addition of the Coloraa students for which Elaine K. came to be thankful. It was a quiet year-----until Shirley D. joined our class. She came to be our class artist. Three members of our class helped win the forensic cup for the fourth year in a row. They were Tom H., Dorothy B., and Dorothy Iff. Five of our class took part in football and four played basketball. V e ll never forget our Sophomore Algebra Class. In the fall of 47 we entered high school as jolly Juniors. As a clas we published the school paper, The Clarion with Dorothy M. as its editor. Then come the great day in every Junior s life---the class rings arrived. Were there any so beautiful?) Our Junior year found six fellows on the gridiron, and three fellows on the basketball court. The Juniors were again well represented in the Forensic Field and came through with numerous honors. Then came Spring! Time for a young man s fancy to turn to love and thoughts of the Prom---with a little prodding by the girls, of course. Our Prom was held on April 24th. King Jim W. chose for his queen, Virginia K. and they led the grand march to the melody of Memories. Our long dreamed of plans for a suc- cessful prom became a reality. The Seniors chose Dorothy B. and Jim J. as the outstanding girl and boy of the Junior class. Jim W. And Tom H. were representatives at Badger Boy’s State. Our eventful Junior year ended with the Clarion staff picnic at Pleasant Lake and the all school picnic at Waupaca. On a sweltering hot day in 194 our class started on the last lap of our high school career. Class officers for our last year were; Dorothy B., President, Delbert R., V. President, Betty Muehrer, Secretary, and Bob K., Treasurer. Four Neshkoro students were added to our 1949 roll call. We assisted over ninety students in feeling at home by initiating them into W.H.S. Bob K., Bob G., Jim V!., Norman S., Burton A., and Delbert R. were members of the football squad. Monica E. was chosen Homecoming Queen and Norman S. was the king. Iluck Finn was chosen as the Senior Class Play and proved to be the most suc- cessful play given in years. Jim W., Jim J., and Bob K., helped our basketball team win many victories. The Spring of the year found us busy at work on the Artesian, getting ready for the All School Musical and the Music Festival to be held at Adams, and again going out for Forensics. Our school work and extra activities kept us busy up until the last minute of graduation day. As v e look back upon our four years we see they have been years of hard work, but years of pleasure and achievement, too. We, the Forty Niners, were not out looking for gold but we found something just as precious and as wonderful---an education, friends, and happiness.

The F.H.A. organization is composed of forty-three members. We began the school year by sponsoring a coke tea for all girls inter- ested in the F.H.A. New members were initiated and officers were installed. Evelyn D., Elaine K., and Dorothy M. were delegates to the State Conven- tion in June. Later, we initiated and installed tho Oxford members and officers at Oxford. We attended the rally at Waupaca where five of our girls presented a panel discussion and where we als'o made Mrs. Shurpit an honorary member of our organiza- tion. Dorothy M. was chosen as State Program of Work Chairman and as such was one of the two V isconsin voting delegates to attend the first National Convention at Kansas City, Missouri. She also planned the State Program of Work and attended all leadership training meetings. We listened to Miss Joyce, County Nurse, as guest speaker at one of our meetings. Our fiscal year runs from April to April. Several of our members participated in the demonstration contest. We revised our Chapter Constitution. Some of our money makinv activities were: pop and candy sales, stationery campaign, and dances. -23- FF A How 1-R. Youn:, R. Kohnke, J. Moldenhauer, E. Thalacker, N. Kruger, R. Reetz, H. Wegenke, C.

The highlight of the 1948-49 season was a 14 game winning streak. This series v as halted in the Green Lake game, with the latter winning 43-49� The Pioneers still finished one of the best seasons of many years. They were rated as Number I team among the Little Sixteen until the smash came. ,„ 3 , - In two games with our oldest rival, Montello, we rolled up a total of 123 points against their 50 points. In the District Tournament, the Pioneers, after leading through the en- tire game, lost a heart-breaking decision to Port Edwards 14-46. Port Edwards won the tournament by beating the Montello squad 50-30. By beat- ing Princeton and Plainfield the Pioneers took third place. Westfield finished a good season with 17 wins and only 4 loses, taking second place in the conference. Three seniors, Jim Wright, Robert Klusmeyer, and Jim Johnson,will leave the team this year but with many returning lettermen, the team should be at the top of the conference next year.

The curtain raiser was played with V isconsin Dells in a non-conference game and was a victory for the Pioneer Eleven by a score of 12 to 7. Although the Pioneers were defeated four times out of seven, they man- aged to improve their 1947 record. Prospects for 1949 football team are very bright, although several Sen- iors have left. The Pioneers should sweep clean their record of several losses next year and end up on top. There were many underclassmen that saw action all this year and they are bound to give many thrills on the gridiron in 1949. Members of the squad who will graduate this year are: Center, Robert Klusmeyer; left halfs, Delbert Reetz, Jim Wright; R. Guard, Norman Schu- bert; L. tackles, Burton Apps and Robert Goldsmith. -28- I T II A - IVI II II A L Row 1-T. McMahon, R. Y egenke, R. Jahnke• Row 2-A. Sohn, G. Ulrich, R. Czervinski, R.
