The Student Council mem- bers Were Mary Trewyn, Betty Bosshard, Jack Shroble, and Willie Ambrose.

The first attempt to raise money, a candy sale, was prophetic of any connection the class had with money--it was not too successful. fOnly two brought candylb A change took place on the sport's front when home football game time was changed to the afternoon at Halverson Field instead of at night at the college field. For their Homecoming float this up-and-coming class produced the ingenius Argyles four guys! will sock them! which received honorable mention. March 17 Barb Phelps, Ruth Foote, Joan Rockwell, Judi Stultz, and Pat Hillerman showed their greenness in more than one way by displaying green bangs! A prominent event in the memories of the fresh- man band members was the day Merle Evans, famous Ringling Brothers' Circus Band Director, worked with, and later directed the band and put on a performance with Ringling Brothers' clowns. CHAPTER II A slightly smaller class of seventy-six students ibut greater in experiencej returned in the fall of '53 to begin their in-between year. But even though they had graduated from the ranks of beginners some Freshie traits remained. fNo wonder the Greek meaning of sophomore is wise fool lJ This time Tom Sheehan was elected president, Sandra Hollman, vice-presidentg secretary, Mary Trew- yng and Pat Hillerman, treasurer. Chick Reese, Bill Bethke, Jack Shroble, and Willie Ambrose were Stu- dent Council members. Miss Hansen and Mr. Novak guided the class throughout the year. Several new additions to Whitewater High were the P. A. system Ca boon during class recitation, but a bother during illegal recitation!J, a new library, and a Future Nurses' Club tan additional device for skipping classes!J, and last, but not least-Supervised Study which gave Willie Ambrose the title of Most Regular Supervised Study Go-er . When Homecoming rolled around the Sophomore float rolled out with the disheartening Qonly to the op- Page Fourteen posing team, we hope!J motto: We'll Cook Their Goose! CHAPTER III With their new title, The Upper-Class-men of '56, sixty-two juniors, made their re-entry into the halls of W. H. S. Realizing that this would be a very import- ant'and active year, the class selected Bill Bethke, presidentg Pat Hillerman, vice-presidentg Shirley Swan, secretary, and Mary Liz Trewyn, treasurer. Student Council members were Betty Bosshard, Chick Reese, and Judi Stultz, and advisers were Miss Engelhard and Mr. Hall. At Homecoming time the Class of '56 was honored to have the Homecoming Queen, Mary Liz Trewyn, picked from their class. We're Plunging for Victory! was the class float theme. May 13 was the date of the year's spectacular, the Class of '56's Junior Prom! Bill Bethke and Lyles En- right were crowned-the royalty with the aid of crown- bearers, Marie and Ben Novak. They ruled in a Showboat atmosphere of pink and black with the Top Hatters providing music. Never-to-be-forgotten prec- edents in W. H. S. prom history were the pastel-yellow dinner jackets and cummerbunds worn by each of the twelve boys in the prom court, and also the grand march in which everyone present took part. True to the precedent in the freshmen year, the financial success of the Prom suffered deflation when a piano dropped itself U1 and thereby became useless! This year of 1955 was full of awards to its worthy students. Representatives to Boys' State were Richard Schrank and Jack Shrobleg to Girls' State, Mary Liz Trewyn, The students decided by their classmates to be best-all-around were Betty Bosshard and Chick Reese, awarded the Spoon and Spade respectively. The juniors' Penny-Pitching booth at the Senior Carnival helped to bolster their deflated treasury. CHAPTER IV September 6, 1955, found seventy seniors roaming the halls for their last first day of high school . In spite of being labeled the last of the small senior high school classes at W.H.S. they seemed deter- mined to make this last year a big year in many respects. Mr. Buckingham and Miss McKenzie, the new class advisers, capably started us out on the right track. At the first class meeting Dick Sauerberg was chosen president, Judi Stultz, vice-president, Betty Boss- hard, secretary, and Dick Schrank, treasurer. To represent the class on the Student Council, Chick Reese, Lyles Enright, Bill Bethke, and Shelby Mil- lard were chosen. Later Chick Reese was also elected president of the Student Council. Miss McKenzie directed the class to financial pros- perity and dramatic success as director of the senior class play Skinned Alive , a farce occurring in a health resort. Six boys and six girls made up the cast, not to mention many others who helped on com- mittees. Over S250 worth of tickets were sold! As added attractions HJ between acts Harvey Plucin- ski and his team HJ of Charleston dancers perform- ed, and Carl Butgereit and Paul Kulinski presented a Homer and Jethro act. In spite of the work of putting on such a production, the practices were en- joyed and never will be forgotten. The Class of '56 was represented among the A team cheerleaders by Shelby Millard and Lyles Enright. Even though it was October 28 by the time Home- coming burned around, bonfires were still popular. Only it wasn't leaves that were burning up, but the Homecoming bonfires of College High, and also the students! In order to prevent additional arson cases, City High carried their bonfire with them in the Homecoming parade. The senior class float The Early Bird Catches the Worm was second only to the junior float. Paul Kulinski made this history by making three TD's - one, a 60 yard run - and raising the score to 26 over Mukwonago's 6 at the end of the game. King Chick Reese crowned Queen Carolyn Starck at the Homecoming dance, School Daze . One of the biggest homecoming courts ever was made up of the eleven senior boys on the foot- ball team and their dates. High light of the annual grid banquet was the W. H. S. Most Valuable Player of '55 award to Har- vey Plucinski. Harvey was also named along with Leroy Vohs for the all-conference team. Only one senior, Dave Kayser, represented the class in basketball, but did a good job of it, He was voted Honorary Captain by his teammates and re- ceived honorable mention on the all-conference team. The most exciting game of the basketball season was understood to be the one with Elkhorn. The third-place conference standing, individual scoring championship, and the last basketball game for the seniors were a few of its attractions. The score, 76-55, was in Whitewater's favor! It was typical of the good work the new coach, Mr. Nehring, and the team did throughout the year. But good things don't last forever, and the Whippets lost their first game in the tournament against Jefferson. Christmas came with much activity at W. H. S. The senior English classes gave a Christmas program at the Fort Atkinson hospital, the senior social prob- lems classes toured Chicago - Skid Row, Hull House, Chicago Board of Trade building, and even found time for Marshall Fields and the stage play, Pajama Game . The final week of school before vacation was celebrated with a musical Christmas program Le Juggleur de Notre Dame by the choir and French classes, another program of skits by the senior social problems classes and the Polka Boys on the last day, and the Christmas dance Silver Bells. Santa in the person of Carl Butgereit never was so busy. Special events for the teenagers this year were a Chamber of Commerce sponsored New Year's Eve party, the Lions Club Ice Fiesta, and the Parent, Student, Teachers' Council which will work for com- munity projects with representatives from each group as officers. All of these events were gratifying suc- cesses. Another new institution at school - not so graciously received by the students - was the La.ters Club. The noonhour recreation program was quite ef- fective this year. The seniors won the boys' basket- ball championship, Tom Sheehan's and Shelby Mil- lard's volleyball team was victorious in that cate- gory, and the boys' volleyball championship was won by Harvey Plucinski's team. In the boys' free throw contest, Dave Kayser was the most accurate shooter, and Sally Fischer was champion in the girls' free throw contest. Championship contests still to be played are the ping pong and badminton contests. The traditional Donkey Basketball game was sched- uled January 31 with something new - mechanical donkeys. The seniors who rode the donkeys had as much fun as the audience. At the district music contest held in Whitewater, W. H. S. music students made a record of eight star- red firsts. Among these was the senior girls' triple trio which has been working four years for such an award! ! Mary Liz Trewyn was given the D. A. R. award. The winners of other awards - valedictorian, saluta- torian, senior athletic award, Wilber K. Lyle tro- phy, Legion Award, and Legion Auxiliary Award are to be announced at the end of the year. Much to the satisfaction of all concerned we de- cided to change our senior class trip from the usual Canadian one to one with Washington, D. C., as our destination. We will leave a few hours after grad- uation with plans for five days full of new wonders and experiences. The officers with the help of Mr. Bjorge are planning a trip that will be long remem- bered by the '56 senior class. As their last year closes, the Class of '56 looks forward with more seriousness than before to the events of the remaining year - Gingham Ball, Junior Prom, Post-Prom Party fthe firstj, music contests, Award Night, Baccalaureate, Graduation, school pic- nic, and the senior class trip. Then they leave White- water High to their successors and become green freshmen again. Page Fifteen SE IORS of1956 OFFICERS President ...... -- Richard Sauerberg Vice-President --- ......

In searching for a play that would be appropriate for the senior class of 1956, it seemed obvious that a comedy was the type to choose. Skinned Alive was the choice for the class, but there were some definite problems in casting involved. In the leading role of Whinnie More was Richard Reese who, because of the part he took, spent half of the play disguised as Aunt Lucretia Klondikef' His portrayal was distinguished and the rest of the cast took their cue from him. Pat Mitchell and Shelby Millard gave humorous interpretations to the parts of the two aunts, Katie and Millie. A former boxer who owned the local resort was Terror Tripp played by William Ambrose. He spent much of his time dragging Freckles, better known as Jack Shroble, around by the ear. Jack played a house boy who wanted to be a house detective, but Wilma Anderson, the house cook, played by Joyce Erdman, was al- ways spoiling his plans. Two criminals enter the scene and the plot thickens. Rose Duval, played by Pat Hillerman, Page Twenty-Two Seated: T. Sheehan, R. Schrank, M. L. Trewyn, R. Reese, J. Rockwell, M. Doherty and Slappy Wertz, played by Mike Doherty, caused a great sensation when they made their entrance. Dick Schrank took the part of Char- lie Kennan, a successful businessman who takes time out to renew an old college romance with Beth Shepherd, or Joan Rockwell. Beth has come to the resort for a vacation with Madge Van Loom who is impersonated by Mary Liz Trewyn. Mary Liz is the fiance of Whinnie More, but she can't seem to keep track of him in his various disguises. Perhaps one of the funniest characters in the play was Sylvester Baines played by Tom Sheehan. He was pur- sued through most of the play by the health- struck aunts, Katie and Millie. The scenery for the play was done by the senior art class under the direction of Miss Lou- ise Christenson. The play was directed by Miss Lorayne McKenzie. The programs were handled by Carolyn and Marilyn Starck. Properties were under the direction of Betty Bosshard, and Nancy Coburn took charge of the make-up com- mittee. Assistant directors were Paul Kitzman and Barbara Phelps. 'u THE AQUALBA STAFF Back Row: M. Scoville. N. Coburn, B. Schoephoerster, B. Rohloff, Miss Maerzke, W. Ambrose, H. Plucinski, T. Sheehan, R.

Bill Bethke and Lyles Enright reigned as King and Queen. The theme was carried out with all the characteristics of a show- boat. The throne was a tipped anchor. The walls were shadows of min- strels, featuring the eyes and hats of the darkies. The refreshment stand featured a bar with the tables representing the poker tables in a gambling casino. The orchestra stand represented the floor show on the showboat with its can-can girls. This year all of the boys on the court wore pale yellow dinner jackets, with black trousers and black cumberbands. We girls will never forget the black suspenders, as they were snapping all evening. Our court was fed at the Red Hen. Then all proceeded to Bosshards for breakfast after the party. -Four HOMECOMING 1956 School Daze , School Daze !! On October 28 with rain, and more rain, Chick Reese and Carolyn Starck reigned over the 1956 Homecoming dance. As usual the seniors on the football team and their dates formed the court. The theme was carried out in our school colors, red and white. There were several books along the walls representing the different classes in school. The throne was an open book with Whippets written across it. At the opposite end of the gym was a huge black slate on which every- one signed his name. The refreshment stand was appropriately the teach- er's favorite, a big red apple. Afterward, a crowd of damp dancers proceeded to the Green Shutters for a smorgasbord dinner.

Marshall, -and M. Staller. TRIPS: Highlight of the year was the trip taken by the junior and senior boys to the National FFA Convention at Kansas City, Oct. 10 to 13. Many other field trips were taken by the classes during the year.

There were about 125 people present this year. Many awards for the past year's activities were presented at this time. COOPERATIVE ACTIVITIES: The Christmas card sale is used to raise money to help finance the various trips the chapter takes. The chap- ter had a successful year, grossing approximately S800 in the sale of cards. L. Millard, for the third consecutive year was high salesman with a total sales of 38410. A clean-up campaign and scrap collection is conducted each year both as a community service and as a fund-raising project. This project was a great success again this year. Many of the boys ordered fruit trees, nursery stock, strawberry plants, and conservation-planting stock, cooperatively, through their local FFA chapter. COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES: IOver 300 farmers and their wives attend- ed the Tri-County Farm Institute held at the Whitewater Armory this year. A free meal was provided bythe Whitewater Chamber of Commerce. Other community activities include the testing of 874 cows, comprising 32 farm herds by the members of the FFA chapter. Many soil and germination tests were also made by the members of the FFA. JUDGING: The corn judging team took top honors at the Regional l'. A. G. corn show held at Oconomowoc and placed third at the State Show at Janesville. Dairy, fat stock, and farm management teams also took part in several judging contests during the school year and did an admirable job in all of the contests entered.

Harriette Harley The Whitewater Chapter of Future Homemakers of America had the largest enrollment in its history this year. The group was so large that it was necessary to divide it into two sections with Betty Bosshard in charge of the junior and senior members, and Joan Pior in charge of the sophomores and freshmen. The groups met simultaneously each month, and each carried on its own projects with the older group making curtains for the department, while the younger group prepared a baby-sitting manual. Both groups were under the guidance of Miss Lila Greenfield. Activities undertaken together were the picnic at the City Park at the beginning of the year, a candy sale, a square dance, a mixer, and the preparation of a float for Homecoming. On No- vember 14, the officers attended an officers' training meeting at East Troy. Page Thirty FUTURE URSES' CL B Back Row: M. Taft, K. Graham, N. Fetherston, maker, L. Oldenburg, I. Pollock, R.

In September fifty girls signed up to be members of the club with Linda Oldenburg leading them as president. The other of- ficers were as follows: vice-president, Ann Shoemaker, secretary, Lynn McKenzie, and treasurer, Irene Pollock. To acquaint the girls with nursing and also for entertainment, a tour was made of the Madison Methodist Hospital. The group also had speak- ers on nursing, saw movies, and held a tea for their mothers. This year in nursing was truly rewarding for those girls who were seeking knowledge about that vocation. Again the group is indebted to Mrs. Stephen Ambrose for her very faithful and enthusiastic leadership. Page Thirty One Back Row: R. Foote, B. Phelps, M. Starck, D. Rye, A. Brokmeier, W. Valentine, T.

Meal' during his second year as director since returning to Whitewater City High. In August the band enjoyed another trip to the music festival at Riverview Park in Chi- cago and also made an appearance at the Walworth County Fair. During the year the band studied various types of band music including overtures, marches, and some popular music. This year a change in the color scheme of the band uniforms was decided upon and new light-blue trousers were ordered to replace the familiar white ones, Eleven members were selected to represent the band at the district Massed Band Concert which was held at Stoughton, Febru- ary 21. They were Car- men Catania, Dorothy Duf- fin, Carol Collins, Janet Mroz, Ronette Pieper, Mar- ilyn Hunt, Sharon Mar- shall, Jim Dehler, Steve Moksnes, and Judi Stultz. The annual solo and en- semble contest was held March 24 with Whitewater City High as host school. Several band members par- ticipated.

J Oan Pi0I' Director .................. Mrs. Flanagan A new organization has been added to our family tree-the French Club. It is made up of the members of the French class under the direction of Mrs. Flanagan. French Club members made their debut in the Christmas program by presenting Le Jongleur de Notre Dame. Carols were also sung in French. After Lent the Club prepared an authen- tic six-course French dinner and invited Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Isch of Paris as their guests. French popular records were played and members tried their luck with the Sam- ba and the Tango , The purpose of the group is to give its members added opportunities to parlez fran- cais and to absorb some French atmosphere. We are very happy to Welcome the French Club to our roster of organizations. Yi! ,K ,. was xx 3 ad K QA I fn ' fl Fw Q Q-my Hi- .. ' P X ' .av M ik? ,QQ 0 x X X Q Back Row D. Mould, L. Vohs, J.

Kitz- At the start of the football season eleven lettermen reported for prac- tice but few of these had been starters on the 1954 squad and so things d'idn't look too favorable for City High's chances in the 1955 schedule. Considering the weak team, we ended the season with a record of five wins, two losses, and two ties. This was good for second place in the Southern Lakes Conference. Our record might have been better if our captain, Richard Reese, hadn't been injured early in the season. Some of the highlights of the season were the fine running of our full- back Plucinski and good blocking from Rice, Davis, and Vannoy. We also received some good downfield blocking from Smith, Vohs, and Bethke. 'On defense Davis, Rice, and Plucinski stood out. After the injury of Reese, Ambrose did the play calling and did a good job. Our best game of the season was against our arch rival Delavan. After leading throughout most of the game, Delavan tied the score with five minutes to play. Whitewater then rallied to score to win the game. Our worst game of the season was against Lake Geneva which we lost 12 to 7. Whitewater 25 ..c.............. Lake Mills 0 Whitewater 6 --- --- Jefferson 6 Whitewater 6 --- .....

As the season progressed the team, with .Dave Kayser as captain, rounded out well and ended the season in third place. It was an average season with an overall record of ten wins and ten losses. At the end of the season Chuck Regez was chosen on the all-conference first team and Dave Kayser and Jack Schultz were given honorable men- tion. Chuck Regez was also the league's leading scorer. 15 there 17 here 22 there 2 here 9 there 16 there 6 here 13 here 20 there 24 here 27 there 3 here 10 here 14 there 16 there 18 there 24 here Thirty-Eight Whitewater Whitewater Whitewater Whitewater Whitewater Whitewater Whitewater Whitewater Whitewater Whitewater Whitewater Whitewater Whitewater Whitewater Whitewater Whitewater Whitewater Milton 5 Ft.
