No doubt what started our high school career off on the right foot was our excellent choice of class officers. They were Bill Mackie, presidentg Sue Rowley, vice president, and Don Piper, secretary-treasurer. Our advisers were Miss Mary Jane Case and Mr. johnson. Not content to sit back and let the upper-classmen take all the honors, we plunged into many ac- tivities, including a little trouble, now and again. Members of the class were active in Newspaper, Hi-Y, G.A.A., Football, Basketball, F.F.A., Band and Choir. We chose as our sophomore leaders jack Cummings, presidentg Margaret Nicosen, vice president, and Bob McCauley, secretary-treasurer. Mrs. Finnigan replaced Miss Case as adviser. XVe won hon- orable mention on our Homecoming tloat, We'll Drive Marengo Buggy. We participated in many 11C- tivities this year also, but we were conserving most of our energy and talent for our junior year. It seemed that no matter what we did in our junior year we came out on top. To start the year off right we elected as our very capable officers Don Piper, president, Bud McLean, vice president, and Audrey Berg, secretary-treasurer. In October we chose our class rings. Naturally everyone agreed that they were the prettiest ones ever seen in City High. Our first triumph was winning first on our Home coming float. With a theme like Feudin', Fightin', and Fussin ', how could we miss? Our secona triumph was the junior Prom. With Fairyland as the theme and music by Bud Wilbur's orchestra, King Don Piper and Queen Rita Shroble reigned over a gala event. Besides this we sponsored a mixer and sold candy and pop at several games. Much credit for helping make everything we did a success should go to our advisers Mrs. Finnigan and Mr. Hall. The junior class was active in almost every extra- curricular activity. jack Cummings and Sue Rowley were presented the Spade and Spoon by the senior class. Au- drey Berg and Jack Cummings were chosen as our delgates to the Badger Girls' and Boys' State. Our senior year has arrived at last, not soon enough for some and too soon for others. In our first class meeting, Bud McLean, Marlene Wilken, and Rita Shroble were elected as class officers. Miss Leney filled the vacancy left by Mrs. Finnigan. In the magazine campaign Sue Rowley was elected as Home- coming queen and the football boys elected Jack Cummings as captain of the team. jack crowned Sue at one of the most successful Homecoming dances ever held at City High. This year we received second place on our Homecoming Float, Delavan Comets Predicted To Fall. Again the class was well represented in all organizations. The senior class play, You Can't Take It With You was put on under the capable direction of Mrs. McCully. The faculty and senior class chose Audrey Berg to receive the D.A.R. award. All that remains of our high school career now are the big events of Commencement week and our memories. No one can deprive us of these memories and we will always retain them as reminders of four of the best years of our lives. Paixe Seven Page Eight fig.. SENIORS RICHARD A.

Grosskrvutz Page Seventeen Qotllcsiole, Our school has always had a very vigorous program in extra-curricular activities and this year was no exception. Everyone is encouraged to participate in one or more of these because they help to develop a well-rounded person, and most students take acl- vantage of this opportunity. Whitewater has long been noted for its fine music department which has for some time sponsored the Mass Band and has assumed the responsibility for the band tourna- ment. The choir and band each gave a concert for the public this year and appeared on other programs. The debate team started off with a successful preliminary season only to lose out in the district contest. Spring forensics found many going out for extemporaneous reading and speaking, followed by the humorous and serious declamations. The first elimination contest was held in Whitewater. You Can't Take lt With You , the senior class play, was a huge success. Those explosions startled everyone, including the cast. The G.A.A. held to its standard for sponsoring two excellent dances, Homecoming and the Gingham Ball. With the new point system which was introduced, many of the junior and senior girls received letters, the first which this school has given. The City High Line staff was working full force producing a fine paper, as usual, every two weeks throughout the year. The F.F.A. have continued their fine work and we must include their recreation program too. They certainly have exciting basketball games and wrestling matches. On the next pages are pictures of our extra-curricular activities and more informa- tion about them. We hope they will remind you of the fun and the worthwhile experi- ences which have been yours as a result of your participation in them. Page Nim ten Il THE BAND The band, under the direction of Carlton Patt, lost no time in the fall in going into rehearsal in preparation for another successful year. The first public appearance was made at the Armistice Day program. The band appeared again in a half-hour Concert for Go To School Night on November 16. On February 28 the local band was again host to the Mass Band which presented a concert for the public in the afternoon and evening of that day. This one hundred piece band was directed by Mr. William Revelli of the faculty of the University of Michigan. Many Whitewater musicians were in the group who performed. On March lO the band was invited to play at a morning convocation at White- water State Teachers' College. The program presented at this time was repeated for the public in a concert held in the high school auditorium on Sunday afternoon, March 15. The remainder of the year was spent in preparation for the spring music festival and band tournament with the local group again participating in class A, Page Twenty THE CHOIR ltnvlc How.

The choir. which was not completely organized until after the football season, made its first appearance before the student body on December 17, presenting a pro- gram of Christmas music. The choir then worked diligently during the next few months in preparation for its spring choral concert and music festival. The octette again made several public appearances throughout the year as did the quartette, Faire Twentyeone -- - - - CITY H1 LINE Top Row: J. Braun, IJ. Hill, E. Rye, J. Tuinstra, D. Krueger, A.

Mr. Miller The first accomplishment of the Hi-Y organization this year was to build one of the biggest and best bonfires the school has ever had for the Homecoming pep rally preceding the fooball game. The Hi-Y sponsored the annual Snowball as main feature of their social activities. The theme of the dance was Little jack Frost Get Lost and Bud Wilbur supplied the music. By secret bal- lot Lucille Stone was elected queen and was crowned during the evening by jim O'Connor. The Hi-Y holds its meeting the first and third Tuesday of each month. Every other meeting is devoted to sports while the other meetings are devoted to educational lectures by local and out- side speakers. - All the Hi3Y organizations in Walworth County were ranked on a basis of l25 points. Points were awarded for orderliness at meetings, the manner in which officers duties were carried out, and the recreation held after meetings. The Hi-Y at City High ranked highest in NXfalworth Coun- ty with 95 points. Much credit for the success of the Hi-Y goes to Charles Miller who proved to be a capable leader. He was assisted in his leadershp during the second semester by Carl Palmgren, a senior at the local College.. Due to the efforts of these two people and the interest of the members, the year has been more than a successful one.

Rekstad, tNot Pictured, D. Mulksj DEBATE The 1949 debate squad of City High under the guidance of Miss Kanable gained much valuable experience and had a very enjoyable season. The question was Resolved: That the United Nations should now be rivised into a federal world government. Several debates were held with the College High, and on january 15 the team traveled to jeffer- son to participate in a five-school tournament there where it won five of its six debates. The season was concluded by a round of debates given as the program for various civic groups and clubs. FORENSICS The general forensic program, which is the spring speech activity of Whitewater City High School, had a rather large number of participants this year. The local elimination contest was held March 17. The two winners in each activity then were en- titled to participate in the league contest, this year at Whitewater on March 24. judges from the Uni- versity of Wisconsin selected winners from the five schools represented to go on to the district contest. Extemporaneous reading and dramatic declamations were coached by Mrs. McCully. Orations, four-minute speeches, and humorous declamation were coached by Miss Kanable.

The organization has spread throughout the United States, the Territory of Hawaii, and the island of Puerto Rico. The four degress of active membership are: Green Hand , Chapter Farmer , State Farmer , and Americas Farmer . Ad- vancement through these degrees is based on achievement in vocational agriculture. The activities of our Whitewater Chapter includes a program of leadership, community serv- ice, co-operation membership, recreation, and earning and saving as follows: Leadership Our Whtitewater Chapter was host to the annual leadership school in October. Robert Krahn won second place in the public speaking contest at Burlington. Community Service We carried our pest control plan for the second year. The number of rats, mice, sparrows, and crows destroyed exceeded our record of last year. Our members also exhibited at the county fairs. Membership To get all members of the Chapter more interested in the activities we carrry on, a point sys- tem has been started this year to give credit to each member who takes an active part in any of the activities. Recreation The Chapter held its third annual Hard Times dancing party. During the summer ,we took two trips. We saw a ball game at Chicago and later in the summer we attended the Wisconsin Centennial Exposition at Milwaukee. Earnings and Savings This year we carried on several activities to help build up our treasury. We sold coffee and hot dogs at the football games, took orders for field seeds for a local dealer, had charge of the coke machine, and sold garden seeds.

This was proved by its defeat of the conference champions, Marengo. Two of the games were lost by only one point. Had we tied these two games we would have tied for the championship. The most thrilling performance of the season was the trouncing of the Delavan team to give us a perfect Homecoming celebration. To top off the season a banquet served by the mothers of the boys was given at school on Decem- ber l3. Mr. Hall acted as toastmaster. He introduced Mr. A. E. Johnson, Coach Schwager, and Mr. Max Salske. The latter presented a trophy to the most valuable player on the team. This honor went to Capt. jack Cummings. Coach Crummey and assistant Coach Coletti were also called on for talks. It is planned to make this dinner an annual affair and it will serve as a highlight for the football season. go Thirty ASKETBALL Stzuidiut-TZ lv, Olson, J, l,l11'li9l', A. Mt-Lean, .l.

On their initial appearance in the Beloit tournament the Quakers knocked off the highly-favored Lake Geneva quintet, 40 to 38, for the upset of the tournament. The unusual feature of this game was the stall Wliitewater employed for the last five minutes. This stall was accomplished by bending forward and holding the ball between and behind the legs. This tac- tic left Geneva at a complete loss. The City Highers then knocked off Wilmot, 53 to 28, to go into the finals. Against Beloit for the championship the Quakers concentrated on defense the first half to hold the score to 5 to lO, but in the second half a taller Beloit team got red hot and snatched victory from the Quakers 39 to 19.

Taylor At an early meeting in the fall, the W-club elected these officers: jack Cummings, presidentg jerry Markham, vice-presidentg and Bill Mackie, secretary-treasurer. The W-cltib is composed of boys who have earned a letter in athletics. To earn a letter a boy must have two hundred points. Points are given according to quarters played in football and basketball, and meets attended in golf, and tennis, innings played in baseball, and events attended in track. Points are also given for going out for a sport. The club put on a mixer in the middle of the year. The money made on this will go to buy sweaters for seniors who have been members for several years. Coach Crummey is the adviser of the W-club. SPRING SPORTS Since the Aqualba goes to press before spring sports start, only a few general remarks can be made about them. The golf team with about seven candidates should have a good season. Several matches have been scheduled and the services of jack Magnason, a college student, have been secured as coach. Track for the first time in several years is again coming into its own with about fifty aspirants for the various events, including high jump, shotput, hurdles, sprints, distance runs, and relays. In baseball the team has three former members in its lineup with plenty of material available to make up a complete team. The prospects for a tennis team depend upom available courts. Since the city courts are unfit and the College courts crowded, the chance of scheduling matches with other schools is rather remote.

Hockey, volleyball basketball, and individ- ual sports were the main attractions for this year. The fall initiation found a large-number of freshman girls interested in G.A.A. The upper classmen supplied the newcomers with clever costumes all to the enjoyment of the student body. Two of the main school dances were sponsored by the G.A.A. The first of these was the Homecoming dance. The theme carried out was Homecoming , and the gym was decorated in our school colors by G.A.A. members. The queen of the Homecoming dance was Sue Rowley, and the king was jack Cummings. The second dance was the traditional Gingham Ball. It was held on March 25 with the theme Buttons and Bows. The annual G.A.A. banquet was held in May. The G.A.A. again was an organization that furnished great enjoyment for the girls of City High.
