MIMI BIRD, 1933-2002

Mimi Bird knew just what she wanted for a final resting place. After all, she spent years of her life exploring the Town of Milwaukee Union Cemetery, tucked away north of Bayshore Mall in Whitefish Bay. She remembered running through the cemetery as a girl "to scare ourselves on Halloween". Years later, as a neighbor and a historian, she began tending the little cemetery and quite literally, uncovering its history.

Bird died of emphysema Thursday at the Glendale condominium she called home the last four years. She was 69. "She really died from cigarette smoking" said husband John D. Bird. "That's what did it."

She was born Miriam Young in Milwaukee. When she was 4, her parents moved to Whitefish Bay. That was where she grew up and spent her adult life. It was also where she became the undisputed expert on local history, both in the village and the greater North Shore area.

In her earlier years Bird had worked as a secretary. She met her husband when their mothers—concerned about their two twenty-something children remaining unmarried—managed to fix them up for a date. She spent the next decades in volunteer work, including at their children's schools, and working part time for the Whitefish Bay Public Library. In 1976, she began to research her genealogy and that of her husband's family. As that was winding down in the early 1980s, Bird heard about the Whitefish Bay Historical Society.

Her first project involved locating, photographing and researching hundreds of the oldest homes in the village. All kinds of other research followed. Some of the leads took her to the Town of Milwaukee cemetery. There she looked for sunken spots, sticking a spade into the ground. She found dozens of old fallen tombstones, buried by time under the earth. "I just had this wonderful feeling of elation when I'd find an old one," Bird said in a 1983 interview. "The tombstones were the only (surviving) records of births and deaths."

Bird filled volumes with everything from real estate records to the early details of village life, its farms, businesses and people. She pored over the minutes of every Village Board meeting from 1892 until 1950. She interviewed old- timers, acquiring old letters and documents. Bird eventually researched the rest of the old Town of Milwaukee, which includes what's now the North Shore area, and the adjacent Town of Granville. And when Whitefish Bay had a 100th anniversary in 1992, she produced a book on local history. In 1991, Bird was recognized by the Milwaukee County Historical Society. Her research continues to be available at the Whitefish Bay Library, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Golda Meir Library, the County Historical Society and the Milwaukee Central Library's local history room.

Survivors include her husband, John; sons David J. and Peter E; brother Carter H. Young; grandchildren; and other relatives.. .Her ashes will be buried at the Town of Union Cemetery.

Dedication services were con­ ducted on June 19, 1949. Worship services and Sunday school are conducted each Sunday at 9:00 and 10:30 A.M. The two women's guilds, service organiza­ tions of the congregation, meet the third Tuesday of each month at 12:30 P.Mo and 7:45 P.M. and the Walther League, the young people's organization of the church, on the first Monday and third Sunday of the month at 7:00 P.M„ A couples club, recently organized, meets informally five times a year. A choir and altar guild are also among the active groups of the Church. The congregation now numbers 640 baptized members. At the present time plans to expand the facilities of the Church are being studied. On September 8, 1931, a parochial school was opened at 116 West Silver Spring Drive with an enrollment of ten. Mr. Victor Waldschmidt, now of Chicago, was the first teacher. In 1945 Our Savior Lutheran school was dropped as a single venture and replaced by the North Suburban Lutheran School Asso­ ciation which was operated in conjunction with neighboring*congre­ gations. In 1956 this association was dissolved. Our Savior Lutheran Church is dedicated to the preaching of the gospel of Christ in our area and to the service of Christ's Kingdom in tiit; world. 3 © 2 Lutheran Mission School WHM Opens In Bay On SeptlS %1 Classes to Be Held in New Building Erected Last Fall on Silver Spring Rd« CHURC:KT¥ERMH PERMI] T building is $14,000.

While the cafeteria has a completely finished kitchen, equipped with stoves, refrig­ erators and warming units that open on either side to permit food being put in on the kitchen side and taken out on the cafeteria side, the kitchen will not be used dur­ ing the first year. Food will be prepared and served by a catering service. The auditorium, which in- • eludes a balcony has seating 'room for 1,500 persons and a curved stage with steps lead­ ing to it from either side. One can see it at commencement time, with serious seniors marching to the s.tage to re­ ceive diplomas and then forming a pleasing smiling pattern in dissect on the other side. The stage also opens on to dressing rooms and is of ample size to provide stage productions. Doors to the theater are fireproof and sprinklers can be easily- turned on to dressing rooms in case of fire. Other por­ tions of the building are also equipped with easily manipulated sprinklers. A small clinic, to be staffed by the Whitefish Bay health department, is well planned for this purpose. On the first floor is a small chapel, accommodating 150 persons, which will be mainly used for short visits and med­ itations. It will contain two confessionals. Nearby will be the priest-principal's office and two faculty rooms for lay men and women teachers. There will also be three guid­ ance rooms, where teachers can meet pupils privately. Nothing has been overlook­ : ed for the comfort of teach­ ers, pupils or visitors at the school.

Holy Family Parish, established in 1949, has a membership of 825 families, service by three priests. Relatively speaking a new parish, it is still in the process of physical development. An eighteen classroom school-gymnasium, a temporary rectory and a convent comprise its current facilities. Construction of a church and a permanent rectory is scheduled to begin by early summer of 1967. Holy Family School, staffed by eight Dominican Sisters and eight lay teachers has an enrollment of 500 pupils from grades 1 through 8. Because of the moral, mental and physical benefits evolving from it, the school supports a dynamic athletic program, enabling the pupils to participate in competitive sports with neigh' boring schools. This activity is under the supervision of a number of dedicated men of the parish. Holy Family Parish is proud of its many adult and youth organ­ izations, all of which are motivated by a Christlike zeal to pro­ mote the spiritual, cultural and social welfare of its members. Proud to be a part of the Village of Whitefish Bay community, Holy Family Parish takes pleasure in extending its heartiest con­ gratulations on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of its founding.

A TRADITION OF DIVERSITY

MILWAUKEE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL 1Q/MUS A TRADITION OF DIVERSITY

O n June 28, 1930 the Chicago Daily Tribune published a story about Milwaukee Univer­ sity School Entitled "School Without a Snob" the article contained this terse summary of the MUS character:

Just two things make you superior in this school — intelligence and spirit. It prides itself upon being both democratic and cosmopolite, and its special detestation is a rich student who is a snob or a clever student who is a prig.

The same theme of diversity recurred in recent interviews with MUS alumni and faculty members:

"No cashmere sweaters. They were seen as too elitist."

"Mr. Rintelmann's car was always full of a West Side contingent of students."

"The idea that boys and girls would be taught separately came as a shock to the MUS world: during the merger discussions."

"Students came from far away —far by the traveling standards of the day. In those days, summer houses were located just seven miles north of downtown Milwaukee."

The school's sense of inclusiveness — in terms of gender, geography, and income — was com­ plemented by a commitment to service, both within the school and in the larger community. All of these elements were present in the earliest days of the German-English Academy, the predecessor ofMUS.

Peter Engelmann (opposite) was the first director of the German-English Academy from 1851-1874.

MUS/11 HISTORY

Milwauke e was a notably German city in the nineteenth century. Natives of Germany made up more than a third of the population in 1850, and their numbers increased steadily for decades. Among the immigrants was a group known as the Forty-Eighters. Well-educated and often well-heeled, the Acht-und-Viersigers were progressive thinkers who had led a republican revolt against the Kaiser in 1848. When the revolt failed, they fled to America, and Milwaukee became one of their centers. The Forty-Eighters' zeal for reform continued in their new home. The group's members soon worked their way into the German community's leadership, publishing newspapers, opening businesses, and founding cultural organizations. In May 1851, they established the Milwaukee Schulverein (school association) which soon opened the German-English Academy on East (now North) Water Street. The school had two teachers and fifty students. The German-English Academy was established to fill an educational void in Milwaukee. The newcomers found public schools woefully inadequate and, judging from the level of participation in the public system, their view was widely shared. In 1845, when Milwaukee had 1,781 children between the ages of 5 and 16, only 288 attended public schools. The curriculum was limited (excluding, among other things, German), and the instructional method stressed rote memorization. The Academy's early success demonstrated that its founders' instincts were correct. The school quickly outgrew its rented quarters on Water Street and moved to a new home on Spring Street (now W. Wisconsin Avenue). In 1852, the Academy was chartered by the state and raised $2,300 — enough to construct a new building on Broadway at Knapp Street. Enrollment climbed to 450 students by 1871, and the German-English Academy developed a reputation for excellent pedagogy, social in- Reprinted from Chicago Daily Tribune, June 28, 1930. clusiveness, and concern for the community.

The building still stands, with "German-English Academy" etched in stone across the top. Later in 1890, Christian Preusser, WW.

The continued support of its benefactors permit­ ted GEA to remain solvent for the next two decades. After years of uncertainty, the dedication of the new school in 1891 was a particularly festive occasion. The Evening Wisconsin described the new "temple of educa­ tion" as "an airy, graceful structure, built of brick and terra cotta ornamentation." The speaker's platform was flanked by large busts of Guido Pfister and Peter Engelmann, both of which were later placed in the Academy's vestibule. Mayor Peter Somers praised the GEA as a national pioneer in education. W.E. Anderson, the Milwaukee Public Schools superintendent, described the friendly relationship between the Academy and the public school system. A chorus of female teachers sang, and the keys to the new building were presented to Albert Walber, president of the Board of Trustees. When the ceremony ended, the crowd broke into small groups to tour the handsome new edifice.

16/MUS Spigener's tenure coincided with some of the most dif­ ficult years in MUS history. The euphoria that followed dedication of the new building wore off quickly when the stock market crashed in 1929. As the Depression deepened, many families were forced to enroll their children in public schools. Enrollment fell from 326 in 1930 to 208 in 1933, a thirty-six percent drop in just three years. One faculty position was eliminated in 1935, and the remaining teachers took a twenty percent pay cut, even though some had begun to double as bus drivers for the school. As bad as conditions were, MUS teachers fared better than their counterparts in the Milwaukee Public School system. City teachers were paid in municipal scrip that was worth considerably less than its face value. "When money is lost, nothing is lost When health is lost, something is lost When character is lost, all is lost"

The Depression caused a steep decline in the birth rate, as evidenced by the many empty seats in the lower grades. It was not until the beginning of World War II that enroll­ ment returned to its pre-1930 level. By 1945, MUS had 382 students, the largest figure since the nineteenth cen­ tury. But war also brought new pressures. Faculty salaries "Uncle Frank" Spigener, director of MUS, could not keep pace with inflation, and athletic and other 1927-1954. programs that required travel were sharply curtailed in response to gasoline rationing. MUS students joined in the war effort by purchasing defense stamps, collecting books and magazines for the troops, learning first aid, and studying math and science in preparation for the military. Many served more directly. Seventeen-year-olds needed parental permission to join the armed forces, but a number of second-semester seniors were drafted. If these eighteen-year-olds had a C average at the end of the first semester, they were granted their diplomas early. By the end of the war, 256 young men and seven young women from MUS had served in the armed forces. Jack Andrae, John Bacon, Douglas Gutenkunst, Malcolm Hanson, Donald Johnston, Jacob Nunnemacher, Frederick Olson, and Hiram Skogmo did not return. r When Frank Spigener stepped down in 1954, he was V succeeded by Harold Strow, the school's long-time ># assistant director.

WMUS Life At MUS yt: Public

A caring faculty was one of the constants in the life of MUS. Beth Sieckman, an MUS teacher since 1945 and presently a Middle School science teacher, stresses how important the individual student was at school. Schedules, for instance, were worked out painstakingly to assure that every student received the classes of his or her choice. Faculty also made sure that every girl had a date to the Senior Prom. Sometimes, as Peter Banzhaf recalls, a teacher would act as matchmaker. Former Board Presi­ dent Ralph Inbusch remembers that it was "your turn next" to pick up someone who lived far from school and bring her to the dance. Even trustee minutes evince a con­ cern that no girl spend prom night at home. Faculty also looked after each other's needs. When Peter Engelmann's wife died, the school community took on the project of his remarriage. While visiting Europe, Engelmann heard various rumors about his possible mar­ riage to business teacher Julia Davis. Though they never married, his correspondence indicates a fondness for her, and she was the beneficiary of his life insurance.

Some Memorable Teachers

Every student harbors a fondness for memorable teachers. MUS graduates mention certain faculty members repeatedly: Emil Rintelmann, math and industrial arts teacher, came to MUS in 1917. He became Middle School head in 1932 and remained in that post until 1966. During the Depres­ sion, he addressed student assemblies on ways in which discarded items could be used — inner tubes for making toy animals, bottles for vases. In addition, Rintelmann taught night classes in Milwaukee's public schools and, for seven years, supervised the adult education program in the MPS system. Even after his retirement, Rintelmann taught for another eleven years as a substitute teacher. Bill Leker, science teacher from 1919 to 1951, started a huge controversy early in his career by circulating a stu­ dent questionnaire about the school. Director Griebsch called the questionnaire "disruptive of school spirit, the life of the faculty, and student morale." Ironically, everyone was curious about the questionnaire's findings. The brouhaha soon quieted down, Leker became a legendary MUS teacher, and questionnaires became a normal part of the educational process. Anna Grelke, known as "Tante Anna," taught Excerpt (top) from 1926-1927 school catalogue. kindergarten at MUS for twenty-five years in a teaching career lasting seventy-three years. Grelke was known for Science teacher Bill Leker, 1919-1951. His inductive saying she "never had a bad child." methods were once termed "disruptive of school spirit."

Some of the less conventional faculty members have earned a place in MUS folklore: a teacher who carried Elmer's Glue in case his false tooth popped out ... an habitual oversleeper who came to school wearing pajamas under his clothes ... Spanish teacher Ralph Jackson, who ran out of money on one of his annual trips to Mexico and had to be rescued by colleagues ... and Bill and Nick, science teachers who played pranks on each other with exploding compounds or dissected specimens of starfish and frogs.

A Tradition of Service

The cafeteria staff was assisted for decades by school mothers, organized as the Women's Service Club. Mothers always gave girls smaller portions than boys. Rose Mee, a member of the cafeteria staff, was so popular that the 1950 yearbook was dedicated to her. The work service program went into operation every afternoon at MUS.

20/MUS Athletics

In keeping with the traditional German concept of a strong mind in a sound body, there was always an em­ phasis on sports at MUS. Gymnastics was a significant part of this tradition in the first decades. By 1935 MUS was participating on the interscholastic level in six sports — football, basketball, swimming, tennis, golf, and track. * Following World War II, MUS had a wide-ranging sports program that attempted to enlist every student in some sort of athletic competition. In fact, healthy high school boys were required to play football during the fall term, then basketball, wrestling, or swimming in the winter, and track or tennis in the spring. Football was mandatory for all boys beginning in grade four. All girls at MUS competed on Blue and White intramural teams. Everyone, regardless of athletic ability, was able to earn points during the year. At the end of the school year, the Mother and Daughter awards lun­ cheon took place in the gym. According to MUS faculty member Beth Sieckman, athletic competition was an "im­ portant aspect of girls' life at the School. It was very unusual," she said, "since public schools had no girls in­ tramural teams." Girls were encouraged to compete interscholastically in field hockey in the fall, volleyball or basketball in the winter, and softball in the spring. Competition among girls teams was unusual in the 1950s and 1960s. Although MUS was in the forefront, the girls season was brief, and teams followed specific rules determining how strenuous i the competition could be. Women's sports did not have — - the emphasis on championship competition that they would develop in the 1970s and 1980s. W

22/MUS MUS/lb 131 J 1 11 A Diverse Student Body : Was the school's student body as diverse as its faculty, ry its academic program, and its extracurriculars? Except for a ten-year period when the high school was boys-only, the school was thoroughly coeducational. Certain families, among them the Zinns, Kastens, Trostels, and Vogels, sent several generations to GEA-MUS, and the stu­ - dent body always included members of various religious C> and ethnic groups. In 1945, to affirm its non­ discriminatory philosophy, the Board of Directors issued a statement condemning intolerance of minority groups. The diversity of the school's student body produced a spirit of egalitarianism. Several of the directors of the German-English Academy staunchly defended the school against charges of elitism, and they worked to make the school even more accessible to the less affluent. Visitors to MUS were impressed by this democratic spirit. Scholarships were the ideal way to create diversity (opposite page, top) Learning the art of cross-stitch. within the student body, and they were offered from the school's earliest days.

2%/MDS YOUNG LADIES AND RESPONSIBLE WOMEN

Eor more than 115 years, Milwaukee Downer Seminary and its predecessor schools prepared young girls to become responsible members of society. Catharine Beecher, founding spirit of the school, her disciple Mary Mortimer, and long-time College President Ellen Sabin were social activists who championed schools run by women for women. Several years before its complete separation from Milwaukee Downer College in 1933, the Seminary was developing its own traditions. The school worked to cultivate in its girls a sense of community responsibility, athletic and academic competition, and standards of grooming and etiquette. The annual Downer Dog Show, for exam­ ple, raised money for the Community Fund. The Red-White Competition divided the entire school into two teams for contests in athletics and academics, while the Good Posture Club fostered the elegance and grace characteristic of young ladies and responsible women. Senior privileges, stu­ dent contests, parties, banquets, and numerous awards rounded out a school year full of cherished traditions. As the school catalogue stated, "A school without traditions is like a mannequin in a store window — no expression, no personality, no individuality, just blah!'

Mary Mortimer, a disciple of Catharine Beecher, was part of the original faculty of Milwaukee Normal Institute and High School in 1851.

MDS/29 •7 HISTORY

Catharin e Beecher was a member of one of the most prominent families in nineteenth-century America. Her sister Harriet was the author of the acclaimed Uncle Tom's Cabin; her father, Lyman Beecher, was among the most prominent American ministers of the early 1800's; and Henry, her brother, served the same role later in the century. Born in 1800, Beecher dedicated herself to the creation of high schools on the college model "to civilize the barbarous immigrants and lower classes of the West." She envisioned a small army of teachers from the East running the schools in cooperation with local Boards of Trustees. Meanwhile, there were efforts to begin a female school in Milwaukee. In 1848, Milwaukee Female Seminary open­ ed under the direction of Lucy Seymour Parsons, wife of the city's new Congregational minister. Located on the east side of Broadway, the school had four divisions (preparatory, junior, middle, and senior), four teachers, and a boarding department at the Parsons' residence. Tui­ tion was three to six dollars per quarter. Most prominent of the first trustees was Increase Lapham, a pioneer scien­ tist who was a leading member of Milwaukee's social elite. By November 1848, eighty students were enrolled at the seminary. Parsons, however, was concerned about poor Catharine Beecher was a leading 19th century attendance; she believed it evidenced a lack of seriousness advocate of women's education. about female education in Milwaukee. Speaking to school patrons at the end of the semi-annual exams, Parsons remarked, "Never, we believe, will woman rise above the distinction of being weak-minded and volatile.. .till a more thorough, systematic, and extreme course of educa­ tion be assigned her." Hearing of Catharine Beecher's work, Parsons invited her to come to Milwaukee and present her views. In August 1849, Beecher's agent, T.M. Kilpatrick, offered school patrons $1,000 in books and supplies if they would guarantee the construction of a new building and a satisfactory enrollment. In September 1850, Beecher came to Milwaukee to ask the school's supporters to raise enough tuition to support four teachers, who would decide all school rules. Seminary patrons quickly accepted Beecher's plan.

30/MDS In late 1850, Parsons surrendered control of the school, and in March 1851, it received a formal legislative charter as the Milwaukee Normal Institute and High School. Parsons was joined on the faculty by Miss E.B. Warmer, Miss N.J. Newcombe, and Beecher's favorite, Miss Mary Mortimer. Although she remained in the East, Beecher was influential at the school.

The lack of "a more commodious building" was the school's major problem. School mothers attempted to raise money through festivals and bazaars, and Mrs. Parsons travelled throughout the region to raise funds. In the winter of 1852, however, the school was still "crowded into the different small rooms of a private dwell­ ing house (the old Parsons home) filling it from its damp basement to its gable roof." An outside examination com­ mittee complained that small classrooms made the students too soft-spoken. Committee members were also upset that more parents had not attended the examina­ tions, and they were perturbed by "a disorderly rabble of boys" who disrupted the testing several times. An ar­ ticle in the Sentinel concluded that not enough was be­ ing done to satisfy the "intellectual wants" of the students. Milwaukee's women, however, remained undaunted, and they continued to raise small amounts through festivals, soirees, and concerts. By the spring of 1852, they had enough funds to buy one-third of an acre on the cor­ ner of Milwaukee and Division (now Juneau) Streets. After / ...

• The decade following World War II was a time of stabili­ ty for Downer Seminary. Enrollment remained near 300, and the school avoided operating deficits. To retain its teachers, the board repeatedly reviewed faculty pay scales and instituted a retirement program. In 1948, the trustees launched the Downer Seminary Century Foundation to establish an endowment for the school. The Mothers' Association began to assume a significant role in raising money and improving the quality of school life, spon­ soring student orientation nights, a book fair, a parent- faculty-trustee dinner, and a concert series. The organiza­ tion's annual Style Show was well-attended, and, spon­ sored by the TA. Chapman Department Store in 1953, it raised $1,500. The school mothers also provided numerous volunteer services, from typing to dining room assistance. By 1957, the rapid expansion of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee made Hartford Avenue an insecure site for the seminary. Realizing that the "Sem" might soon be forced to vacate, the board exercised its option to buy the school property from the college for $400,000 in 1958. One year later, Board Chairman Roger C. Minahan con­ ducted negotiations that ended with the sale of Downer's property to the state for $1.15 million. After a $150,000 payment to Downer College to surrender its claim to the land and buildings, the seminary had $1 million to begin the construction of a new campus. In October 1959, Downer announced a $1 million fund drive to finance a new plant. Meanwhile, a building site committee purchased fifty-nine acres on West Fairy Chasm Road (the present location of USM)and began con­ struction. The school's 127,000-square-foot building even­ tually included a two-story Lower School, an Upper School and dormitory, and a gymnasium. Designed in the Georgian style of Colonial Williamsburg, the building could accommodate 375 students and house sixty-eight boarders. The fund drive ultimately raised well over $1 million. Added to the $1 million from the sale of the Hart­ ford Avenue property, this sum allowed the school to finance its new $2.4 million campus without incurring a large debt. Although 365 students occupied the new campus in 1961, later enrollment was not large enough to fill the school, and the support of the Downer community, though generous, was not unlimited.

* Life at Downer Seminary

A corps of "true teachers" always graced the halls of Downer Seminary. Like Mary Mortimer, the original "true teacher," the typical Downer faculty member was an unmarried woman, educated at an Eastern college or abroad, and strongly devoted to her subject and her seminary girls. Although the practice declined in the 1950s, many Downer teachers lived in the dormitory where they developed a close relationship with the girls and a strong identification with the school. Faculty members were an integral part of school events. Downer alumna and teacher Sarah Pearson remembers that the faculty sometimes encouraged girls to be more assertive and ask boys to dance, even though assertiveness ran counter to their teaching about proper behavior in social situations.

The Hartford Avenue campus was built between 1895 and 1905 in the English "Domestic Gothic" style.

• The Downer faculty was close-knit. Following classes on Friday, teachers often met for tea and conversation. Those living off-campus held parties, especially during school holidays. Substitutes were frequently unnecessary since teachers covered each other's classes. Above all, the faculty cooperated to provide an atmosphere of dignity and decorum conducive to academic progress. During the 1920s and 1930s, a group of teachers arrived at Downer who formed the backbone of the faculty for nearly thirty years. History teacher Edith Matheny was one of the earliest arrivals. Matheny claimed Abraham Lincoln as an ancestor, and so it was not surprising that the highlight of her senior U.S. history course was the annual Lincoln pilgrimage to New Salem, the Anne Rutledge grave, and locales in Springfield, IL. Matheny was also responsible for the annual Lincoln Essay Con­ test, whose winner received a medal resembling an over­ sized penny. Anna Otto began an annual Latin banquet, in which first-year students assumed the role of slaves and served the second-year citizens of Rome. Everyone dressed in togas and tunics. Alumni remember the Latin teacher's delicious fudge with particular fondness. So powerful was the personality of Elizabeth Buckmaster One of many irreplaceable faculty leaders history teacher Edith Matheny. that her students believed she knew "absolutely everything." A teacher of English and Drama, she was the long-time leader of the Downer Curtain Club. Buckmaster was an excellent fencer, read palms, and was a "convincing actress of pantomime." Her students loved her British accent. Born in Pennsylvania, Claudia Fink was an excellent golfer and equestrienne who loved the mathematical properties of bridges so much that former students con­ tinually sent her pictures of them. She owned a number of cars, all of which she named "Violet." A native of France, Helene Wittmer is memorable to Downer alumni because of her lifelong friendship with Albert Schweitzer. Geometry teacher Frances Hoe was the owner of a thirteen-pound black cat. USM English teacher Mike Dentice was one of the first male teachers at the seminary. Arriving in 1956, Dentice quickly established a reputation as a creative teacher with an excellent sense of humor. University School math department chair Tom Bergen began his career at Downer, as did USM teachers Dottie Wellons, Phoebe Weston, Meta Matthes, and Margaret Boulton.

MDS/37 Downer day students did not go out on weeknights, and they rarely had phone conversations. Though boys in "fancy cars" lined up outside the school each day, dating was not widespread at Downer until the 1950s. Groups of Downer girls spent their Saturdays shopping downtown or lunching at Heinemann's or Riegelman's Drugstore. "Sem" girls often attended Country Day athletic events and frequently dated boys from the Santa Monica school.

"The House Girls"

The dorm was home for as many as seventy Downer students each year. Boarders came from places as far away as Mexico and India. Most parents sent their daughters to Milwaukee to receive a quality education; a few thought that a change of environment would result in better behavior and higher grades. Though the "house girls" formed their own community at Downer, the Seminary was successful in its efforts to involve boarders in school life and in Milwaukee society. Vogel Hall, the seminary dorm from 1909 to 1961, had hardwood floors and steam heat. The odor of Limburger cheese sometimes lingered on the radiators, a favorite prank played on new students. Bells awakened the students at 7:30 and kept them aware of the times for meals, classes, and study. There were numerous dorm rules for trips downtown, weekends off campus, and curfew; these became more liberal over the years. Everyone was ^/jood Times at Downer. required to attend church.

3S/MDS MATINEE MAGIC Breaking the rules was the ultimate adventure for a house girl. When the Wisconsin News reported in 1921 that Downer girls were illicitly meeting boys to go to fraternity houses, school President Ellen Sabin responded that the girls had only gone for drives with the young men. Such was not the case with one boarder, who, in the 1930s, was sent to Downer to keep her out of reach of a persistent suitor. The young Romeo then joined the Navy, knowing he would receive basic training at the Great Lakes base south of Milwaukee. Since seniors were allowed to go downtown on Saturday afternoon for lunch and a movie, Juliet met her Romeo and accom­ panied him to Waukegan, IL, where they were married. The new bride then managed to return to Downer in time for tea at four o'clock, just as dorm regulations required.

40/MDS Extracurriculars

Extracurricular clubs were considered an important way for a Downer student to broaden her education. In 1860 the school's first club, the Curious Society, was founded to foster "intellectual investigation by young ladies." By the beginning of World War I, the school was sponsor­ ing a Social Service Club, French Club, and German Society. In 1935, the school yearbook, The Crest, and the student newspaper, The Semaphore, published their first issues. At about the same time, the Welfare Committee, Good Posture Club, Glee Club, and Curtain Club became the school's most popular extracurricular organizations.

The Welfare Committee's purpose was community ser­ vice. The organization held bake sales to raise money for local charities, collected toys for families on county relief, and conducted a Christmas drive for the benefit of school maids and janitors. To encourage the collection of food for the needy, the committee persuaded the administra­ tion to allow students to attend school in shorts one day in exchange for donations. During World War II, the Committee and the Victory Club made food baskets and favors for convalescing servicemen.

Besides "Best in Show," prizes were awarded for best cocker spaniel, boxer, terrier, poodle, puppy, and "in­ telligent crossbreed" (a mutt that did tricks). The Doll Contest combined creativity, competition, and community service. Students were given rubber dolls to dress in costumes. There were prizes for the most original, best-knit, best-dressed, and prettiest entries. The winners also received points for the Red-White competition. The dolls — more than 200 in 1955 — were given as Christmas presents to Milwaukee orphans. As the weather warmed each year, winter sports weekends, basketball, and volleyball gave way to softball, tennis, and a number of traditional spring activities. The student who found a horseshoe partially buried on the Downer campus won points in the Red-White competi­ tion for demonstrating "keen eyes and sharp wits." Field Day, later called Fun Day, gave students an excuse to come to school out of uniform, chew gum, and enjoy numerous sports and games.

As each graduate left the church for a recep­ tion and tea dance, she was presented with a bouquet of red roses by a member of the junior class. Following another "whirl of parties," almost all went off to college.

AND THEIR BELIEF IN n GREAT BOYS

I,magine a rookie teacher arriving on the Milwaukee Country Day campus in September 1958. What did he find? What images of students, faculty, and the school remain today, thirty-one years later?

"It was a Spartan school — athletics, faculty, and discipline dominated" the veteran teacher remembers about his rookie year. "Students were very polite and purposeful. Unlike my colleagues, I taught history from a reading list, not a textbook, using a seminar-style approach. I suppose in those days it seemed highly Socratic, but it's what we all do now."

The new teacher had five separate preparations for history classes in grades seven through eleven. He also coached three sports and advised a group of students. Some students came from families who had sent them to MCDS to be "shaped by Harvey Ramaker," an imposing figure by any standard. Ramaker s voice was as imposing as his towering appearance, and students would fir^^ that not getting 100 meant staying after school to make up the grade. A mark of 90 or 95 was not considered acceptable.

These are John Stephens' recollections of his first year at Country Day. "J.S.," as he is known to the University School community today, has had many roles, including history teacher, head of Upper School, director of admissions, and senior class advisor. His dedication and loyalty represent the best of MCDS traditions.

/. n 1910, Arthur N. McGeoch, a Milwaukee businessman, and A. Gledden Santer, a British-born, Cambridge-educated schoolmaster at St. Bernard's School in New York, met aboard ship in the North Atlantic. McGeoch was one of a number of prominent Milwaukeeans who were interested in establishing a new school. Santer's educational philosophy was rooted in his After meeting A. Gledden Santer experience in the English public school system which aboard ship in 1910, Milwaukee stressed athletics and discipline. By the time the ship businessman Arthur N. reached Liverpool, McGeoch had convinced Santer to McGeoch convinced Santer to come to Milwaukee and establish a boys school. move to Milwaukee to establish a In 1911, aided by McGeoch and others, Santer founded boys school. McGeoch served as Board president from 1917 to St. Bernard's School for Boys at the corner of Franklin 1921. and Ogden Streets. Starting with ten students, and increas­ ing to thirty-five the next year, St. Bernard's proved so successful that by 1915 a subscription drive began for the creation of a new school on the "Country Day" model. Milwaukee Country Day was an example of a new type of educational institution characterized by rural surround­ ings, a long school day, close parent-teacher cooperation, and "a unified, homogeneous student body."

Establishing Country Day Traditions

With $170,000 raised, the Executive Committee of St. Bernard's purchased thirty acres in northern Milwaukee County, on the_present site of the Karl Jewish Community Campus in Whitefish Bay. Milwaukee Coun­ try Day School opened in September 191A Each morning students and faculty, most of whom lived on the lower East Side, rode the trolley car, nicknamed the "Yellow Streak," along Lake Drive to the line's northern limits at School Road. They then walked one block down a road bordered by a barbed wire fence to the "school upon the hill." Some nine hours later, the "Yellow Streak" returned south and reached Wisconsin Avenue at about 5:30. In 1919, the Board raised $50,000 for two widely dif­ ferent projects. Country Day purchased the old Lakeside Hospital on Propect Avenue and opened a Junior School Modest beginnings at Franklin and Ogden Streets - St. in the building.

In 1935 the school announced plans to remodel the Senior School at a cost of $120,000. Contributions were soon forth­ coming: Louis Allis contributed $3,500, Laura Albright donated $5,000, and William Chester gave $5,000 in honor of loyal school supporter George P. Miller. Waldemar S. Kopmeier made a $15,000 gift for a school library and a scholarship. A gift of $2,000 in memory of student John Page Pulliam funded a room for school publications and a scholarship. Possibly because of the hard times, Milwaukee Downer Seminary, Milwaukee University School, and Country Day began to seek potential areas of cooperation in athletics. As the Depression eased, however, Country Day demonstrated that it could do quite well on its own. The Junior School joined the Upper School in ongoing efforts to support our armed forces during World War II, Country Day During the War circa 1944.

Maintenance chief Ray Ritzier, a master of many trades, and maintenance man Bert Wheeler (who also drove the Wauwatosa school bus) followed Headmaster Santer into retirement. Esther Ramaker, "Ray's" wife, stepped down in 1961 after twenty-five years as Country Day's bookkeeper and assistant treasurer. One notable staff addition was Audrey Arndt, who came to the school ft just after the war. Serving as secretary for both the head­ master and the Senior School, she was also the volunteer statistician for conference track meets and administered the Midwest Prep Conference. Her work with Country Day organizations made Arndt a vital source of infor­ mation for students, parents, faculty, and alumni. When a back ailment forced her to miss school for a time in 1958, The Ledger noted the loss and called her "Country Day's answer to the automaton."

The finan­ cial situation would have been much worse without dona­ tions from the Alumni Association and the United In­ dependent School Foundation, a joint fund-raising organization started by MUS, Downer, and Country Day. The Board of Trustees responded to the deficit with a well-organized annual giving campaign. Although the school had conducted periodic drives for its endowment fund, there had never been a concentrated annual effort to raise money for operating expenses. A 1959 drive led by George Chester put Country Day in the black again. Much of the new capital in the 1950s and '60s was spent on renovation and expansion. The Country Day campus received new science labs, typing and art rooms, a foot­ ball field, track, hockey rink, and a new dining room.

4 Life at Country Day

Discipline was always emphasized at Country Day. The faculty was concerned about serous disciplinary problems, but they were also on the lookout for "the boy who is a continual offender through minor infractions of school rules; the boy who cuts corners, cannot be depended upon to conduct himself appropriately without heavy-handed supervision, who lives by the letter rather than the spirit of a regulation, who seems to be an instigator or eager participant in every distrubance." Faculty and Board members enforced good table manners, including the "four-hamburger" limit. Discipline extended to academics as well as personal con­ duct, and students were graded separately on classroom effort. A grade of D or F in effort resulted in late study hall several days a week, which student athletes often found vexing. Some baseball players were known to start in the field, race to late study in the middle innings, and then complete games under a free substitution rule. Chapel service was an integral part of Country Day. Each morning the school assembled for fifteen minutes of readings, hymns, and talks of a nondenominational nature. Faculty and seniors were responsible for the presentations. Freshman initiation had originated in the early years of the school. By the mid-1950s freshmen wore the Coun­ try Day beanie, learned the school songs and "important facts" about Milwaukee Country Day School, attended all home football games, addressed the seniors as "Mister," carried their books, and were barred from using the front door. Initiation ended with a bizarre ritual in which freshmen filled their mouths with alum water and ran around a large fire 20 times, eventually spitting the alum water onto the blaze and throwing in their hats. After­ wards, the freshmen gathered beside the fire to sing the school song, "Academia." Special performances, plays, dances, and the Mothers' Association Carnival were the traditional annual events. The school newspaper, The Ledger, noted that at the an­ nual Tri-School Bowery Dance held by MCDS, Downer, and MUS, Country Day triumphed in the highlight of the evening, "The Slob Contest."

56/MCDS 54/ Safe! — Baseball was the first interscholastic sport at Milwaukee Country Day.

1963 varsity hockey team. Country Day Athletics

Athletics dominated the school's extracurriculars. In 1919, baseball became the first interscholastic sport at Country Day, and a football team was added the follow­ ing autumn. The team played a five-game schedule that included a contest with St. Louis Country Day, the begin­ ning of a sixty-year rivalry. Early in the school's history, Country Day's leaders decided that this strenuous sport was good preparation for life in the adult world. Every able-bodied student played the game, and the entire school community supported the Cougar varsity on autumn Saturdays. A basketball team was organized in 1920, and tennis and hockey were added to the sports program in later years. Harvey Ramaker was the first athletic director at Coun­ try Day, and he held the post until Ken Laird succeeded him in 1938. In 1929, Scottish-born Latin master Peter Stormonth convinced Headmaster Santer to introduce another English public school tradition — the field day. The student body was divided into Green and Gold teams for a day-long competition in track and field events. Country Day parents took an active part in school sports. In the 1950s, for instance, a group of fathers was embarrassed by the drubbing the team was taking in ice hockey. They approached Coach Bill Church and pledged their support to make hockey a major sport at Country Day. Support was appreciated, but a Country Day parent would never presume to tell a faculty member how to coach or teach. Any attempts to do so incurred the displeasure of the faculty, school officials and, most im­ portant, other parents.

MCDS/57 Clarence "Razz" Rasmussen began Country Day's foot­ ball tradition in 1920. Razz was famous for his pre-game and half-time pep talks. Country Day boys defeated River­ side, Boys Tech, Shorewood, and many other large city schools. Razz's teams ran the standard single-wing offense, but the coach introduced so many variations that op­ ponents rarely knew what to expect from the Country Day eleven. Razz's teams turned out accomplished players like Tom Taylor, Joe Uihlein, and future Notre Dame captain Fred Miller. As the Madison Capital Times once noted, "When you get around to awarding palms of glory to the best high school coach in the state, don't overlook Razz."

In 1928, Joe Simmons succeeded Rasmussen, who became football coach at Lawrence College. Simmons con­ tinued the tradition of taking on much larger opponents and playing them to a standstill. From 1930 until 1937, Simmons never had a losing season. He compiled a 31-game winning streak against private schools, and he was undefeated in his final year at Country Day. Replacing Simmons was Ken Laird, a tall 28-year-old who had been an All-Midwest end at Lawrence College, a semi-professional player during his graduate school days at Columbia University, and a successful high school coach in Bloomer, WI. Laird coached the Cougars until the merger in 1964, when he became the football coach at University School of Milwaukee. Laird's forty-year record is one of the greatest in coaching annals. His teams won 195 games and lost only 45, a winning percentage of .813. Laird's teams had only two losing seasons, won the conference championship 17 times, and had 12 undefeated seasons. Following World War II, Country Day compiled a 38-game winning streak. Laird was an innovative coach. His Country Day teams rarely huddled on offense; all plays were audibled at the line of scrimmage. He made the "shovel pass" a devastating offensive weapon. Borrowed from the single- wing offense, this play spelled "touchdown" against op­ 1962 varsity basketball team with Coach Tom Hughes. ponents who abandoned their usual defenses in efforts to stop it.

Football season at Country Day began at Red Arrow Camp, located in Woodruff. Lasting from seven to ten days, camp set the tone not only for the season, but for the entire school year. Laird ran twice-daily practice ses­ sions and a skull session at night. For malingerers, there was a long run, usually tougher than practice. Also at camp were Tom Hughes, Bill Church, Harvey Ramaker, and sometimes, the Squire. In 1938, Rufus King was so confident against Country Day that it planned to have linemen and backs exchange positions. The final score was Country Day 13, King 7. In 1943, Country Day took on Madison Edgewood in a battle of state private school powers. The game was scoreless until Edgewood crossed the goal line with five minutes to play. Country Day tied the score on a touchdown catch by Bill Abbott, and then won the game when Peter McConville caught a pass and fell into the end zone at the final whistle. Through the years, the St. Louis game came to be the most important. After traveling by train, Country Day boys roomed at their opponents' homes. The boys re­ mained cordial until the teams took the field.

• The Second Old Guard

During the school's final two decades, the Country Day faculty included some exceptional masters. English teacher George Divine was faculty advisor to The Ledger. Junior School principal Charlie Boesel was highly respected. Manual training teacher Cal Cooper helped the students build self-esteem by creating a supportive atmosphere in class. Gerald Landt was an outstanding artist and a teacher who allowed students to move at their own pace and feel like winners. Just prior to the merger, Jim Laing, Frank Roberts, Forrest McQuitty, Dick Wilke, and John Stephens, masters who would become leaders of the USM faculty, arrived at Country Day. Three other masters who made the transition to USM formed a second group of Country Day faculty leaders between World War II and the 1964 merger. Of Ken Laird, much has been said in relation to Country Day football. But Laird also taught U.S. and English history, economics, and business law. He had an outstanding rapport with his students and kept alumni informed with his weekly football letter. Country Day Junior School students in Cal Cooper's manual training class.

John "J.S." Stephens came to Milwaukee Country Day School in 1958 and is today director of admissions, history and economics teacher, and senior class advisor at University School of Milwaukee.

Art teacher Gerald Landt taught from 1944 to 1982.

60/MCDS + Bill Church taught at Country Day and USM for fifty years until his death in 1986. Like Ramaker and Fick, Church was a taskmaster. One of his favorite quotations, "Fail now and avoid the late rush," reflected his view of failure as a growth experience. In his physics and chemistry classes, a test was given on Thursday, returned Friday, and retaken if necessary on Saturday morning. Church was at school seven days a week setting up his labs. Most students found that college physics and * chemistry were a review of Church's science courses. Outside the classroom, Bill Church showed himself to be a school leader. He was the long-time hockey coach and reportedly the best skater ever seen at Country Day. Church took over football coaching during the war and posted an overall 12-2 record. He went out of his way to make new faculty families feel welcome, and he The inimitable "Wee Willie."

But Bill Church simply wanted to teach spanning fifty years. boys to think. Tom Hughes was football assistant to Church and Laird. He came to Country Day in 1941 and taught there and at USM until 1986. Hughes was the first to teach calculus at Country Day, earned selection as an Advanced Place­ ment Grader, and served as head of the Suburban Milwaukee Math Council. Hughes eventually coached every varsity sport at MCDS. As Country Day track coach, Hughes produced many fine athletes and three conference titles between 1959 and 1961. Though Hughes remains an outstanding bridge player, his favorite pastime at Country Day was sheepshead. In fact, when Hughes, Church, and Laird had some spare time, whether in the faculty lounge, at Red Arrow Camp, or on the train to St. Louis, the three members of the Second Old Guard were sure to break out the deck for sheepshead. •Hi Math teacher and assistant foot­ ball coach Tom Hughes taught at Milwaukee Country Day from 1941 to 1986.

Slide rules - remember those?

MCDS/61 The spirit of the Squire and the long arms of the masters often restrained but never stifled the exuberance of a group of great boys. Perfectionists on the football field, Laird and Hughes never missed an opportunity to recognize outstanding play or praise extra effort. Fick, Ramaker, and Church were taskmasters, but they never gave up their attempts to build character by educating boys. When the Squire expected boys to act "like gentlemen," he meant, .;; above all, that they should always assume responsibility for their actions. Athletics, discipline, and academics thus prepared Coun­ try Day boys to fly with their own wings as fit, self- assured, and responsible men. Graduate James Sensenbren- ner, for example, has served the 9th District in the U.S. House of Representatives since 1968. Wisconsin's senior U.S. Senator, Robert Kasten, Jr., was also a product of the Country Day faculty. Many other alumni have served Milwaukee's finest corporate and public institutions for decades.

bl/MCDS QUARTER CENTURY F SHARED TRADITIONS

UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MILWAUKEE 64/USM A QUARTER CENTURY OF SHARED TRADITIONS

1 hihe melding of constituencies and traditions is the central theme of the history of the University School of Milwaukee. The 1963 merger of Milwaukee University School, Milwaukee Country Day School, and Milwaukee Downer Seminary was a unique accomplishment, as there had never before been a merger of three American independent schools. The German-English Academy/Milwaukee University School brought to the merger traditions of curricular innovation, coeducation, and social diversity. Milwaukee Downer Seminary was a bastion of women's education, a center of athletic and academic competition, and a staunch advocate of a greater role for women in socie­ ty. Milwaukee Country Day School prided itself on faculty leadership, athletics, and the develop­ ment of gentlemanly behavior.

For its first six years, USM was actually two schools, with coordinate education in the upper division. The school was split between two campuses that continued many of the traditions of its three predecessors. In the early 1970s, the Lower and Middle Schools on Fairy Chasm Road and the Upper School on Santa Monica Boulevard were unified. As students became more will­ ing to question authority and tradition, coordinate education disappeared, the dress code was challenged, and school life became more diverse. In 1985, following the most successful capital^ fundraising effort in independent day school history, USM consolidated on one campus. The school has preserved many old traditions, revived some of the time-honored practices of its predecessors, and established new traditions for the benefit of future generations.

University School of Milwaukee is a place to excel.

USM/65 The Merger, 1963-1965

The Country Day—MUS—Downer rivalry was probably the most serious obstacle to the merger. Each school thought that its teachers, students, and academic programs were the best. The geographical proximity of the schools on Milwaukee's east side contributed to this competitive spirit. The clearest expression of the inter-school competition was the MUS—Country Day sports rivalry. In football, where Country Day dominated, and basketball, where MUS was superior, the rivalry produced sellout crowds, hard-fought games and, unfortunately, some bitterness. During the mid-1950s, the animosity was so strong that the schools considered ending their athletic relationship. Some minor vandalism occurred prior to football games. Meetings between coaches and players eased the tensions, and the games continued. On the other hand, it should be stressed that the schools had much in common. Members of many families attended all three schools. Downer and Country Day put on several joint drama productions, and by the mid-1950s, a Tri-School Party Committee hosted social events. By the mid-1950s a tradition of cooperation in school administration was already emerging. In 1955, Country Day athletic director Harvey Ramaker reached agreement with MUS on eligibility rules for athletes. In 1940 and in 1951, MUS and Country Day worked together to form the Wisconsin Prep and the Midwest Prep Conferences. In 1959, parents and friends of all three schools met to discuss common problems and to hear Charles C. Till- inghast of Horace Mann School speak on the advantages of private education. Beginning in the early 1940s, Coun­ try Day and Downer cooperated quite closely on the ques­ tion of coeducation in the lower grades. To satisfy Downer, Country Day delayed its plans for coeducation in the lower grades, and the two schools periodically discussed a joint lower school. The most significant areas of cooperation were probably enrollment and finance. In 1941, Country Day and MUS pledged not to recruit any family who already had children at the other school. They also decided to share notes on certain potential students to prevent families from pitting one school against the other for academic or financial concessions. The three schools informed each other of plans for tuition increases, and Country Day and Country Day alumnus Brooks Stevens designed the first Downer periodically compared policies for granting USM emblem. scholarships.

USM/69 of a single headmaster. Even Parker and McKinley stated their opposition to the dual-leadership system. Eventually, Davis Parker was named University School's headmaster for the 1965-66 school year. By the fall of 1965, however, the Board decided that a new face, one not affiliated with any of the predecessor schools, should be the school's leader. In October 1965, Gardiner F. Bridge, Director of Student Affairs at Trinity * College in Connecticut, was named headmaster. As faculty member John Stephens recalls, Bridge was USM's Eisenhower, who, like the "consensus president" of the 1950s, brought together the disparate factions of the school and gave it a competent, unified image in the Milwaukee community. Compared to an enrollment of 1,250 in the last year Gardiner Bridge was headmaster of the three predecessor schools, there were only 1,072 from 1966 to 1977. students at USM in September 1964. The following year attendance dropped to 900 and, by 1969, it was 842. A few families withdrew their children because they were dissatisfied with the new school, but other factors were more significant: the departure of the large senior classes of the first two years, the dress code, the single sex high school, the large number of families leaving the city, the inability of some to afford the tuition, and the inevitable reluctance to support a new school. Despite a serious decrease in enrollment, the school administration demonstrated its commitment to the faculty of the predecessor schools by guaranteeing two years of employment. Until the summer of 1966, the new school was saddled with a $1.3 million debt, largely the result of South Cam­ pus construction to house MUS boys after the merger. With $2.15 million from the sale of the MUS Hartford Avenue property, all debts were paid and the endowment reached $2 million. Nevertheless, the Board predicted substantial operating deficits for the foreseeable future. Thanks to the dedication of such faculty as Howard Boese, The Trustees were committed to a higher faculty pay scale who started at MUS in 1946 and was USM's first athletic and to the repayment of funds borrowed from the en­ director until 1980, University School's success was dowment during the merger. The school also had to solidified. finance the operation of two large campuses. Budget deficits averaging $60,000 a year were offset by a spirited annual giving effort and the 1967 Forward Fund Campaign. Originally earmarked for a consolidated cam­ pus, the Forward Fund, (which had reached $1.8 million by 1969), provided a source of operating funds and kept the school from incurring additional bank debt. Although under one headmaster, most people con­ tinued to think of USM as two schools between 1965 and 1970. Located on the old Downer campus, the girls Upper School had a strong seminary flavor, especially since most members of the faculty were women. Several organiza­ tions exemplifying the Downer traditions of competition,

70/USM personal appearance, and community service were pre­ sent at USM. Downer's Red-White teams and MUS's Blue- White teams became USM's Blue-Gold competition in athletics and academics. Like its predecessor at Downer, USM's Welfare Committee ran a dog show for the benefit of the United Fund, aided needy families at Thanksgiv­ ing and Christmas, and supported the March of Dimes. USM's Arrow Club continued Downer's recognition of students who exemplified the school's ideals of good posture and overall appearance. USM's dress code was even stricter. Girls were required to wear watch plaid skirts or jumpers, sweaters and blouses in a limited selection of colors, and knee socks. The girls continued the annual Downer field hockey match with Mary Institute of St. Louis, just as the boys carried on the MCDS football rivalry with St. Louis Country Day. Another Downer tradition transplanted to the new school was the Boarding Department, housing between twenty-five and forty-six students. Though the dorm was called "the zoo" and "the jail" by day students, its boarders formed a close-knit community and enjoyed a fair amount of freedom. Dorm students had nightly and weekend curfews, and they were limited to two overnights and two weekends off campus each semester. As at Downer, the housemothers and the student council governed the dorm and used the demerit system to en­ force discipline. On South Campus, the potential for conflict seemed greater because of the old Country Day - MUS rivalry. Sam Cutler, from MUS, recalls that everyone got along Country Day seniors protested the merger by bricking up "pretty well." The Country Day boys saw themselves as the entrance to the northern Santa Monica campus "intellectual jocks," while the MUS boys felt more assured building. in their relationships with girls. A number of shared tradi­ tions, however, helped to turn coexistence into coopera­ tion. Both Country Day and MUS boys were accustomed to USM's jacket-and-tie dress code. Field Day had been an annual event at both MUS and Country Day. Strict discipline was nothing new to boys who had known Harold Strow and Charlie Kerr, as well as those who had experienced Harvey Ramaker and Bill Church. The rest of the Midwest Prep Conference faced MUS and MCDS as a joint force on the gridiron. Three undefeated seasons and three conference championships by 1970 bore out the worst fears of USM's opponents. In addition, Coun­ try Day boys took up swimming at USM, and MUS students used their skating skills on the ice hockey rink. Administration in the 1970s Whitefish Bay Public Library In September 1970, the Upper School underwent a significant realignment. The girls Upper School moved to the south building of the South Campus, while the Middle School moved to the Fairy Chasm Road campus.

USM/'71 The Upper School was now on one site, but not yet coeducational. At least students would know all their classmates at graduation. Faculty had requested the changes to eliminate the bussing of students to specialized classes and to ease the logistics of getting boys and girls together to work on The Charter, The Trident, and coeducational drama productions. In 1974, a tuition increase, greater scholarship income, lower food costs and retirement pensions, and gifts to the school exceeding $500,000 provided USM with its first surplus. The final factor was critical. The Mothers' Association's first auction raised $100,000, and Aid to In­ dependent Education (the forerunner of Annual Fund) netted over $200,000. In the following two years, excellent annual giving programs and the Mothers' Association's contributions produced balanced budgets. The Mothers' Association also raised money with a bridge tea, an antique show, a book fair and, beginning in 1977, an Teacher. Mentor. Advisor. Coach. Friend. English teacher annual Christmas Shop that featured the goods of Mary Hill taught at Milwaukee University School and University School from 1944 to 1986. specialty shops throughout the United States. Despite tuition increases and the continuation of annual giving, balanced budgets were more often the exception than the rule. Enrollment most often remained between 700 and 750, falling short of the 800-student goal. Upper School figures were particularly disappointing, dropping from 370 in 1970 to 315 by the end of the decade. Faculty salary increases of up to 9 percent contributed to deficits but were necessary to maintain quality education at USM. Inflation was the school's most serious economic pro­ blem in the early 1970s. More and more families found that the rising cost of living made a private education financially impossible. Inflation produced these increases from 1972 - 1976: the price of one gallon of heating oil doubled, the cost of 100 sheets of photocopy paper rose from $1.46 to $2.22, and the cost of a 16mm sound pro­ jector increased $245. Fortunately, the market value of the endowment fund holdings increased to $3.5 million by 1980, and then shot up to $4.8 million after a large anonymous bequest to the school in 1984. In December 1976, Robert Johnston of Durham, NC, was named to succeed Gardiner Bridge as the school's headmaster. Johnston continued Bridge's efforts to establish consensus among the factions from the predecessor schools. He also became an avuncular figure to students, many of whom enjoyed his Civil War elective, particularly its field trips to Gettysburg, Appomattox, Robert Johnston was and other battlefields. Johnston was involved with the headmaster from 1977 to 1986. faculty on all levels of school discipline and pedagogy. He was also strongly interested in athletics, and he hired first-rate coaches for both men's and women's sports. In the 1970s, the innovations in the Lower and Middle Schools were reminiscent of the German-English

72/USM Academy. USM's open classroom philosophy — in which the school moved at the student's pace — would have won the enthusiastic approval of Peter Engelmann, as would the Anne Adams Reading Program, in which "narrow" textbooks were replaced by works of literature. The German-English Academy opened a kindergarten in the mid-1800s, and University School continued to recognize the need for a separate pre-primary department to nur­ ture young children. The Middle School philosophy of student development emphasized drama, student ex­ changes, and sports and clubs, all of which recall Engelmann's focus on "learning by doing." Strong faculty leadership, so much a part of the Coun­ try Day tradition, continued to play a significant role in the administration of the Upper School. Former Country Day master John Stephens, head of the Upper School from 1970 to 1983, continued the practice of relying on latter-day Ficks and Ramakers to help him with ad­ ministration. Mary Hill (for three years co-head with Stephens), Tom Hughes, Tom Bergen, Jim Laing, Greg Morgan, Steve Bruemmer, and Mary Basson have all been leading faculty members. The unofficial dean of the Up­ per School until his death in 1986 was Bill Church. His word was often final on questions of curriculum, especial­ ly on issues of academic standards and discipline.

A University School education combines small classes and one-on-one attention.

Though some Downer traditions, including the dorm, —J.D.W. disappeared with coeducation, the activist element in the seminary philosophy came to the fore during the 1970s. Catharine Beecher and Ellen Sabin undoubtedly looked down with approval as USM girls voiced their criticism of a college counseling system which steered many toward junior colleges. The Downer ideal of athletic competi­ tion became even stronger in the 1970s, as USM's women athletes clamored for the recognition, coaching expertise, and facilities that the males enjoyed. Some women com­ plained that the men's graduation attire was similar to that of the business world, while the women's white for- mals seemed to indicate that they were not being groom­ ed for key roles in society. By 1975, long hair and casual clothing (especially blue jeans) for both sexes were fashionable among all American teens. Not surprisingly, the dress code came under con­ stant attack. Charter editorials began to argue that the dress code should be made more flexible or even abolished. One article pointed out that schools like Andover and Exeter had abolished dress regulations.

USM/75 Sports

USM athletes have continued the long tradition of suc­ cess that characterized the sports programs at MUS, Downer, and Country Day. Boys football, basketball, baseball, track, soccer, cross country, and tennis teams have all won conference championships; and track, soccer, cross country, tennis and ice hockey squads have won state championships. The girls athletics program now includes field hockey, gymnastics, track, cross country, volleyball, basketball, tennis, and soccer. The field hockey team has won the conference championship twice since 1981, and the girls tennis team has won seven state championships between 1976 and 1988. Today's USM athletics take full advantage of ample playing Tom Hughes, Jim Kearney, and "Butch" Richardson fields, tennis courts, and three gymnasiums available have led the USM track team through many successful located on campus. seasons, including four state track championships. Cross country coach Kearney won three state championships. Legendary football coach Ken Laird was succeeded by Charles Kerr and then Forrest McQuitty; Kerr led the Wildcats to their last undefeated season in 1974, which included a victory over long-time rival St. Louis Country Day. Tony Fritz and Steve Bruemmer have guided USM boys' soccer; Fritz's 1975 team won the state title, and Bruemmer's squads have been in state tournaments several times.

USM's most successful coach has been Jim Laing. His boys tennis teams have won 10 state titles and the con­ ference championship twenty-four consecutive times, and his girls teams have frequently been state title contenders. For several years in the 1970s Connie Meek coached field hockey, volleyball, basketball, and softball; she was a prime promoter of girls athletics at USM. One of her outstand­ ing athletes, faculty member and coach Kate Eisner, has made today's field hockey teams perennial conference con­ tenders. Finally, Howard Boese and his successor, Lowell MacDonald, have directed a diverse and successful athletic program. teg The achievements of Von Mansfield and Lane Mac- Donald bring back memories of Country Day star Fred Miller, who became captain of one of Knute Rockne's Notre Dame teams, and Bobby Jake, a national tennis champion while at MUS.

USM/77 Nursery to Grade Twelve Under One Roof Consolidation of USM on the Fairy Chasm Road campus had been a major goal of the Board since 1964. In the summer of 1965, purchase offers for the South Campus were deemed too low. In May 1966, a long-range planning committee announced plans for the new cam­ pus, which included a Middle School, separate buildings for Upper School girls and boys, and a social center where m the two sexes could mingle. Robert Johnston favored consolidation, and in November 1978, the Board approved in principle a resolu­ tion for a $6 million fund drive to finance the unifica­ tion. Although some trustees supported the unification for economic and educational reasons, others were afraid of losing the marketing area around South Campus. They wanted to use campaign money to increase the endow­ ment. There seemed to be no consensus for change, and The new Upper School under con­ talk of the fund drive soon ceased. struction in 1984-85. In June, 1981, discussions resumed. Wary of making an announcement before raising a significant portion of the money for the consolidation, the Board waited several months before going public. In January 1983, the Trustees announced that a $10 million capital fund drive, plus the sale of the South Campus, would provide the money for the $11 million North Campus construction and a signifi­ cant increase in the endowment fund. In July 1983, the Milwaukee Jewish Federation purchased the South Cam­ pus for $2.7 million. Frederick P. Stratton, Jr., and Geoffrey G. Maclay, Sr., were co-chairs of the school's North Campus Development Fund, which had already raised $6.1 million in its private phase. The total cam­ paign generated $10.8 million, the largest amount ever raised in an independent day school building campaign. Meanwhile, plans were in motion for the new campus. The Lower and Middle School buildings were to remain the same, and the former dorm was to house administrative offices. New construction was to add an Upper School classroom building, an ice rink, and various playing fields. Naturally, there were mixed feelings about the move, especially among teachers who had taught at the South Campus for many years. Some students from Fox Point, Whitefish Bay, and Milwaukee's East Side were also unhappy at the prospect of a longer commute. In 1985, the "June Jog and Picnic" was held at the North Campus to celebrate the consolidation. In a ceremony borrowed from the Olympic Games, a runner lowered the school flag at the South Campus and ran five miles north to raise it at the new campus. He was joined by hundreds of USM supporters who ran, biked, or In June 1985, the school flag was lowered at South walked with him.

In the fall of 1985, Robert Johnston resigned to accept the headmaster's post at Charlotte Country Day School in Charlotte, NC. During the following winter, John C. Littleford, head of Breck School in Minneapolis, was ap­ pointed headmaster. Now in its third year, Littleford's administration has done much to professionalize the USM * staff. Littleford has often complimented the faculty for their strength and loyalty, and has recognized their talents and accomplishments. A strong believer in faculty development, Littleford can be credited with the im­ plementation of a faculty evaluation system, increased salaries, and a career ladder salary system.

"Squire" Santer would approve of the new Latin require­ ment for all incoming seventh-graders. The renovation of an inner-city home by the class of 1988 was reminis­ cent of the MUS work program and the Downer ideal of community service. In May 1988, the MUS-originated Alumni Follies staged a successful revival. Class retreats, the attendance requirement at Upper School graduation, and the quadrennial Mock Political Convention with southeastern Wisconsin schools are new traditions. Both old and new will continue the enduring tradition of ex­ cellence at USM.

it), frfi. f4&uUj 'School on the Hiir Celebrates Its 50th Anniversary This Year The "school on the hill," Uni­ versity school, south campus, 6401 N. Santa Monica blvd., opened its doors to the first students in 1917. Known as the Milwaukee Country Day school for 46 years, the school united with the Milwaukee-Downer Seminary and the Milwaukee Uni­ versity school in 1963 to become the University School of Milwau­ kee. The hilltop site is the school's south campus. During its half century, it has earned a reputation as one of the outstanding ''prep" schools in the country. Emphasis is on scholastic excellence. A. Gledden Santer, the founder, was born in a village outside Cal­ cutta, India, in 1883, the son of the Rev. and Mrs. A. J. Santer. After graduating from Cambridge university, he * traveled to New York and joined the faculty of St. n , Bernard school. It was after ; teaching for several years at this independent boy's school that the young Santer met Arthur N. Mc­ Geoch, sr., of Milwaukee, aboard > a ship while on a return visit to England.

Wednesday marked the first day of classes in the newly remodeled Kohl building, named for Max and Mary Kohl of Milwaukee, whose family's $1 million gift made the renovation possible. The school had been housed for the last 18 months in temporary quarters at the Soref Building, 6255 N. Santa Monica Blvd., Whitefish Bay. That building now will be renovated and refur­ bished for the official opening of the Karl Campus in September. The campus is named after Max and Anita Karl. Karl is chairman of the board of MGIC Investment Corp., and a national leader in busi­ ness and Jewish community affairs. The campus is located on the former site of the University School of Milwaukee. The Milwau­ kee Jewish Federation bought the site In 1985 and has raised $13 million for the seven federation-af­ filiated agencies that will be locat­ ed there. The school, founded in 1981 with 11 children, is a private ele­ mentary school for children in 4-year-old kindergarten through fifth grade. The school will add a sixth grade next year. School reve­ nues come from tuition, private donations, fund-raising by parents, and an annual allocation from the Milwaukee Jewish Federation. Eventually, the Kohl Building will be enlarged to house not only Milwaukee Jewish Day School but
