H f Senior Memoriesw or 'Qflur Four Years in Reviewf' On September 7, 1948, seventy-five freshmen, some big, some small, but all definitely green entered the halls of City High. We began by electing Rodney Berg, president, Pauline Schneider, vice president, and Kay Cummings, secretary and treasurer. Our first two advisers were Miss Shockley and Mr. Velte. Like all freshies'l we found the upper classmen a little unbearable, especially when it came time for initia- tions. We were a 'iwilling group but our shyness overshadowed our ambitions. Our shyness, however, didn't effect our school spirit. Several of the boys went out for athletics and two of the girls made the A cheerleading squad. Our sophomore year found us still a rather quiet group. We did, however, surprise the upper- classmen by placing second on our Homecoming float with the theme We'll Fly Over Burlingtonf, With Mr. Garriott as our adviser we elected jim Fetherston. president, Duane Mason, vice president, and Donna Sherwood, secretary and treasurer. Some of the activities in which We participated were sponsoring mixers and candy sales and taking charge of someof the pep meetings. We had made a good start, but our best two years were still ahead of us. It was our junior year when we really overcame our shyness. In fact, some overcame it so well that they were occasionally seen sitting on the honored bench in the office. At the all-important election of offi- cers we elected Bob Stevenson, president, Ed Booth, vice president, Janice Kutz, secretary, and Donald Winn, treasurer. In October we chose our class rings. Naturally, everyone agreed they were the finest ever seen in City High. Again we placed second with our Homecoming float. The big event of the year fin- ally came-junior Prom. The theme Harbor Lights was very cleverly carried out through the effective decorations. The high-light of the evening came when King Bob Stevenson crowned his Queen Donna Sherwood. With the music of Doc Whelanis Orchestra the dance was considered a great success. Miss Christen and Mr. Miller were our efficient advisers for the year. David Shuman and Kay Cummings were presented the Spade and Spoon by the senior class. Dolores Chamberlain and David Shuman were chosen as our delegates to the Badger Girls' and Boys' State. At last our long-sought goal was attained. Our fourth and final year arrived, not soon enough for some and too soon for others. At our first meeting we elected Veronica Holford, president, Kay Cummings, vice president, Pat Fardy, secretary, and Dolores Cham berlain, treasurer. Miss Christen and Mr. Patt served as our loyal advisers. With the theme of Showboat' King Bob Stevenson crowned Kay Cummings as Queen of the 1951 Homecoming dance. A good time was enjoyed by all who attended and again we had a successful dance. The next big event was the senior class play. Melody Jones was presented. Mel- ody was ably characterized by Veronica Holford, Under the capable direction of Miss Sukanen, we had an- other success to our record. The faculty and the senior class chose Dolores Chamberlain as the recipient of the D. A. R. award. As we draw near to the time of graduation we canit help feeling a deep regret in leaving the school we have so long admired and praised. As we face the years ahead we will always be able to look back and remember the wonderful friends and the many cherished memories we have of the grand old halls and class rooms of City High.

Mr. Iljorge, Dietrich Baumgardt In many ways the school year 1951-1952 was eventful but in one respect it was unique above and beyond all former years. It marked the presence in our school of two foreign boys, Dietrich Baumgardt and Paul Reuter, who came from Germany to become students for one year in our American high school. Sent through the sponsorship of the American Farm Bureau Federation these boys were adopted by the seniors and were granted all the rights and privileges of City High seniors including participation in the Commencement activities and the Canadian trip. Late in the year, following Christmas vacation, another foreign visitor arrived, Mr. Rudolf Wollmarker, to spend two weeks visiting our school as part of a visitation program which he was making to several parts of the United States. As the principal of the school in Hilpoltstein, Bavaria, which Paul had at- tended, he was especially interested in seeing for himself whether Paul's enthusiastic reports of his school life in America were true and to study educational methods in American schools in general. He was not the only one who benefited by this visit for we learned much about schools in his couna try through his class talks and informal conversationwith him. Formerly a native of Sudeten which was until 1938 a province of Czechoslovakia and then was ceded to Germany, he served in Hitler's army. After the war, exiled from Sudeten, he went to Bavaria where he became principal of a new type of school. A well-educated man. holding a masters degree from Charles University in Prague, the oldest univer- sity in Europe, he also possesses unusual musical talent. As a parting gesture, in appreciation of our hospital- ity and our efforts to secure for him a tape recorder to take back for use in his school, he presented a con- cert on the piano in a general assembly. . It is our sincere hope that all three of these visitors will feel that their stay with us was as worthwhile and happy an experience as we feel it has been for us.

At the first meeting Wally Peterson was chosen president, Charles Scharine, vice president, Berna- dette Bonk, secretary, and Jean Bethke, treasurer. j ' Regular members of the Student Council were duly elected with these results: Gertie Schmidt, Dale Pieper, John Suby, and Steve Ambrose as regllars, and Mary Ardelt as our vice representative. Many of our students contributed their talents to extra curricular activities. In dramatics Bob Doug- las was outstanding with the honor of being a member Of the forensic play cast that won an AH in the state contest. He also played an important part in the Little Theatre production of Life With Father. Many juniors were in band and chorus. Charles Scharine won the F. F. A. public speaking contest. In athletics the outstanding player award went to junior Bob Plucinski, and Steve Ambrose and Dale Pieper were elected co-captains in football for next year. Prospective HA team cheerleaders for next year are Carla Regez, Arlene Groehler, Rosa Lou Storck, and Liz Roe who served as alternates this year. Under the able guidance of their advisers, Mr. Hall and Miss Paynter, the clss sponsored many suc- cessful mixers as a means of building up its class fund for the Prom in the spring. April 25 was the date Chosen by the juniors for this event. Page Thirteen OT QU NTITY BUT Q ALITY - - THE SOPHOMORES FIRST GROUP Top Row: N. Papcke, D. Harley, B. Davis, R, Patt, E. Maleomb, R.

Hillodeau, C. Schultz, S. Bigelow About a hundred eager and bright-eyed freshmen registered at City High for the opening of the school year. To many, since they had come through the grades, the building was a familiar place. For others, the visiting day for rural eighth grade students, held last spring, helped to make them feel at home. Which was more than the razzing administered by the upper classmen did. But that's all over now.

Schoellkopf, Mr. Hauser The first edition of the City High Line was issued to the student body on Sep- tember 29, 1951. From then on it was distributed monthly throughout the school year, free of charge. f With Dolores Chamberlain as editor and Virginia Wilken and Wally Peterson as assistant editors, and Mr. Marvin Hauser as adviser, the newspaper went through another successful year, improving with each issue printed. Included in every issue were news, gossip, interviews, teacher news, humor, sports, announcements, and activities. This year the staff employed a new system of producing the paper. The ad- vanced typing class took over the actual production. Each student was responsible for the mimeographing of one page. This plan seemed to work well, both in experience which it offered the typists and in the promptness with which the paper appeared each month. ' Page Eighteen OUR NEWEST ORGANIZATION. . . THE F.B.L.A. Under the leadership of Mr. Marvin Hauser, a Future Business Leaders of Amer- ica group was formed at City High. The members are students who have taken or are taking business courses. On january 31, the Waukesha F. B. L. A. officially installed the officers of City High F. B. L. A. Chapter who are: President, Jan Kutzg Vice: President, Mary Ardelt, Secretary, jean Bethke, Treasurer, Marlene Wutkeg Reporter, Elizabeth Roe. The three projects which City High's F. B. L. A. have sponsored this semester are: a dance and game night, the establishment of' a work experience program, and a scholarship to Wisconsin State College, Whitewater. On February 29 the F. B. L. A. sponsored a Leap Year Leap and Fun Frolicf' It was something new at City High and enjoyed by everyone. The school welcomes this new organization and hopes that it will be a worthwhile undertaking for both the members and the entire student body. Page Nineteen THE BAND The Band, with approximately seventy members, made its first appearance in the annual Homecoming parade. On February 18, our school was again host to the massed band, which was made up of selected musicians from twelve high schools in this part of the state. Mr. H. E. Nutt and Dr. Robert Brunkhorst were the guest conductors. On March 18, the band gave a concert for the public with Renold Schilke and Ervin Bryelynski as guest soloists. The Spring Festival was held here again, with City High as hosts, thus complet- ing a very successful year for Whitewater City High Band. As in former years the band was directed by Mr. Carlton Patt. Page Twenty THE MIXED CHORUS The Mixed Chorus and Girls' Chorus made their first appearance on November 21, when they sang for the Crusade for Freedom assembly.

Fisher The Student Council got underway this year by electing John Underwood presi- dent, john Suby vice president, Gertie Schmidt secretary, and -Steve Ambrose treasurer. One of the most important projects undertaken by the council was a noon-hour activity program, which it set up to occupy the time of students who remain in school for their noon lunch. The activities which were available were: volley-ball, basket- ball, chess, checkers, ping-pong, and card games. Movies were also shown twice a week as part of this program. The noon-hour activities were largely under the direc- tion of Mr. Buckingham who was the faculty adviser for the Student Council this year. Gther projects undertaken by the Council this year were sponsoring assemblies and helping with the massed band concert by sponsoring a free mixer and serving refreshments. The changing of the team name was carried on under the direction of Student Council members. The Council also sold school supplies before and after school. This year the Student Council -held one of its meetings during a P. T. A. meeting so that the parents and faculty could learn something of the work of the organization. Each member gave a summary of some feature of Student Council procedure or work. Page Twentv seven Caught bg the Candid Camera fX P 'x L un .MX ,J X s i CHEERLEADERS Back Row: E. Roe, A.

As school got under way a young, and not very experienced team, with only six lettermen returning, came out to live up to the record set by two previous championship teams. The essentials of football were very highly stressed: blocking, charging, driving, and the determination to win. All through the season the line was very sharp, but our backfield was rough. Eventually it molded into a smooth operation with fullback Robert Plucinski doing an especially good job. A ver y effective display of teamwork was given by Vohs and Suby on passing, a combination which should prove very good again next year. The defensive team was very strong and promising, while the opposing team was held to minus yards. Two quarters of the best football ever played for some time at City High were the third quarter of the Elkhorn game and the fourth quarter of the Burlington game. We stepped out and fulfilled every assignment. Kicking was the poorest feature and it may have been the deciding factor in more than one game. Letter winners for the 1951 season were: Seniors, Captain Robert Stevenson, Keith Schoenke, David Schuman, Duane Mason, Robert Kayser, William Splitter, Roger Roe, James Fetherston, john Underwood, and Fritz Dow, Juniors were Dale Pieper, Steve Ambrose, Ronald Brock, John Suby, Richard Webb, Robert Smith, Don Triebold, Birney Davis, Gerald Passer, Charles Sch arine, Thomas Trewyn, and Robert Plucinski. A lot of credit for our successful season goes to our Coach, james Crummey, and his assistants, Marvin Hauser and Ivan Foote. Our fullback, Robert Plucinski, was voted by his teammates as the most valuable player and Dale Pieper and Steve Ambrose were elected co-captains for the 19 52 season.

Most of the boys reporting were inexperienced and a winning team was not looked for. At times during the season the team looked good, but most of the time it did not work together. Starting line-up through most of the season was: Bob Stevenson and Dave Fisher at forwards, Ronnie Vohs at center, and john Suby and Steve Ambrose at guards. Other team members Were: Robert Kayser, jim Fetherston, Louie Mason, Wally Peterson, and Bob Douglas. During basketball season a contest was held for renaming the team.

Although their record was not too impressive, they gained needed ex- perience for years to come. SPRING SPORTS Whitewater City High competed in golf and track in the spring. Matches in golf were scheduled with St. johns Military Academy, Delavan, Lake Geneva, Burlington, and one invitational tournament with the prospect of possibly attending the state tournament. Don Germann, Bob Stevenson, Bob Underwood, Jim Harris, Pete Mackie, Louis Mason, and john Suby were the golfers from whom the teams were chosen. The track schedule was highlighted by the fourth annual Whitewater relays held on April 26. Last year seventeen schools took part in this event with Port Washington winning. The events also included a four school meet with Watertown, Palmyra, and Wilmot, an invitational meet at Janesville, the district meet, the Confer- ence meet, and the State qualifying meets. Boys returning with track experience included Chup Ambrose, john Suby, Bob Smith, Ronnie Socwell, Birney Davis, Keith Schoenke, Don Triebold, Dave Shuman, Ed Brown, and Bob Nickerson. Page Thirty-two LETTERNIEN COMPRISE W CLUB This year the W-Club was under the leadership of the following officers: President, Bob Stevenson, Vice President, Steve Ambrose, and Secretary-Treasurer, Louis Mason. Mr. Crummey served as the W-Club adviser. During the year the W-Club sold concessions at the football games and put on one mixer to raise money for Parent Night, at which time the parents of the football squad were invited to watch football movies and enjoy doughnuts and coffee afterward. In order to gain membership in the W-Club a boy must have earned a letter, which means earning two-hundred points in golf, football, basketball, baseball, or track in inter-school competition. ' Page Thirty-thre PEP IS MOTTO OF G.A.A. The Girls' Athletic Association started the year off with Miss Kehrberg working with the following officers: President, Dolores Chamberlaing Vice President, Virginia Wilking Secretary, Nancy Fardyg Treasurer, Valborg Suby. After the initiation of several new members, the next big event which the G. A. A. undertook was the Homecoming Dance on October 5.
