A. 4 ager 4, Class Pres. 5 WE ENTERTAIN VISITORS FROM ACROSS THE SEA Mr. Wollmarker, Paul Reuter. 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. To them we say not good-bye but auf wiedersehenu Page Twelve

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
