 Horlick History
William Horlick High School has a lot of history going back further than the City of Racine Parks and
Recreation Department can trace it. The school was named after the inventor Mr. William Horlick Sr., Mr.
William Horlick Sr. was born in Gloucestshire England, February 23, 1846. Two of his sons, James and
William Jr. became the founders of Horlick’s Malted Milk Company. William Horlick grew up in his native
country, but in 1869 came to the USA. He opened up a business to manufacture and prepared food for
infants, invalids and the aged. The growth of this trade demanded larger quarters, so William Horlick
Sr. purchased ten acres of land adjoining the city limits of Racine. In 1879, Horlick’s Food company built
their first building in Racine, Wisconsin basically for the manufacturing of their “Horlick Malted Milk.”

This company was located on Northwestern Avenue, right behind Racine Unified’s Central Office.
Their business had grown in volume and importance. James Horlick returned to England to open up
a branch while William Horlick Jr. stayed in Racine and ran the business in Racine and was also City
Treasurer. Mr. Horlick Sr. was well known around Racine. He helped to establish Horlick’s Racine Air-
port, was a director of the Racine Journal Times, a member of the board of St. Luke’s Hospital and
also Mayor of Racine from 1907 – 1911. He had been particularly active in the support of the cause of
education and for many years was School Director for the Unified. William Horlick Sr. spent his money
by giving back to the community. These substantial gifts included Memorial Hall, a maternity wing at
St. Luke’s Hospital, Island Park, Horlick Athletic Field, and land for the high school that was names in
his honor. William Horlick Sr. died at his Northwestern Avenue home in 1936 at the age of 90 years old.

William Horlick High School was built in 1928, just north of Horlick’s Malted Milk Corporate Of-
fice in Racine, Wisconsin. The school is located at 2119 Rapids Drive. The high school’s official
mascot is Polaris, the North Star, however, Racine Horlick is probably better known by their unof-
ficial mascot, The Rebel Yeller. The change is rumored to have occurred in the mid 1990’s when
the boy’s basketball coach, Reb, coached them to a winning season. At that point the team became
known as Reb’s Rebels. That is how the Rebels name came around. William Horlick Sr. was able to
see the school names after him built. Since then, there has been controversy over the Rebel Yeller
Mascot due to implications construed by disassociated visual similarities to the Confederate States
of America. The schools official colors are scarlet and gray. William Horlick High School is a public
four year school. Due to overcrowding, an addition was built in 1961 to enlarge the school. Hor-
lick has had a long standing cross town rivalry with Washington Park High School and still does.

Football has been a big part of Racine since as early as 1922. Recently, William Horlick Field celebrat-
ed their 85th Anniversary of the first recorded football game played there. The first team that played at
Horlick Field was the Racine Regulators in 1915. The team took a hiatus in 1918 due to World War I and
the Spanish Flue Epidemic, but reorganized in 1919 with the help from the local American Legion Post
and William Horlick Sr. The team then became known as the Horlick-Racine Legion. One moment in
the history of football in Racine occurred on October 1, 1922. The Chicago Bears lead by George Halas
roared into Horlick Field to play the Horlick-Legion and defeated them 6-0 in front of 4,000 fans. The
Legion rebounded the next week by beating Curly Lambeau’s Green Bay Packers. Horlick Field was also
home to the first Thanksgiving Day game in NFL history which was on Thursday, November 20, 1922.

In 1994, the Horlick “Rebel” Booster Club was formed to encourage more parental involvement with
the team and coaching staff. This club has continued to be a success and has grown bigger every year.
There are offices in the booster Club, but once your son signs up for football, you are automatically a
part of the Booster Club. Over the years, the Booster Club has assisted with various fundraisers, pro-
vides Thursday night pasta Meals for the Varsity Football Team, produced this program book, purchased
practice field equipment, sold “Rebel” spirit wear, and in November at the end of the football season,
honors all of Horlick’s football teams a a banquet where they receive awards, great food and company.

you is your positive encouragement and sportsmanlike behavior.
Together we will celebrate one of America’s greatest amateur ath-
letic traditions: Friday night under the lights.

SPORTSMANSHIP can be defined as one word, RESPECT.
Respect for ourselves, respect for our school and respect for guests of our school. Re-
spect builds a positive image not only with the community but within all those in any
way connected with activities in our school. In order to establish respect for our athletic
program, all those involved (coaches, athletes and spectators) must be willing to behave
in such a way so those who see our program will think of it (and us) in a positive way.

The responsibilities of SPORTSMANSHIP…

The Player
1. Treats the opponents with respect.
2. Plays hard, but plays within the rules.
3. Exercises self control at all times, setting the example for others to follow.
4. Respects officials and accepts their decisions without gesture or argument.
5. Wins without boasting, losses without excuses and never quits.
6. Always remembers that it is a privilege to represent the school and community.

The Coach
1. Treats own players and opponents with respect.
2. Inspires in the athlete a love for the game and the desire to compete fairly.
3. Is the type of person he/she wants the athlete to be.
4. Disciplines those on the team who display unsportsmanlike behavior.
5. Respects the judgement and interpretation of the rules by the officials.
6. Know he/she is a teacher and understands the athletic arena is a classroom.

The Official
1. Knows the rules and their interpretations.
2. Places welfare of the participants above all other considerations.
3. Treats players and coaches courteously and demands the same from them.
4. Works cooperatively with fellow officials, timers and/or scorers for an efficient contest.
5. Is fair and firm in all decisions, never never compensating for previous mistakes.
6. Maintains confidence, poise and self-control from start to finish.

The Spectator
1. Attempts to understand and be informed of the rules.
2. Appreciates a good play not matter who makes it.
3. Cooperates with and responds enthusiastically to cheerleaders.
4. Shows compassion for an injured player; applauds positive performance, doesn’t heckle,
jeer or distract players and avoids the use of profane and obnoxious language and behav-
ior.
5. Respects the judgement and strategy of the coach, and doesn’t criticize players or
coaches for loss of a game.
6. Respects the property of others and authority of those who administer the competition.
7. Censures those whose behavior is unbecoming.
05
 Since 1929 the Horlick High Spirit has been alive and well in our family. We are
proud to be the Horlick Graduates and wish a; of the students, teachers, sports,
sports teams, coaches, clubs and organizations good luck in achieving their goals this
year.

The Silver Helmet Award

The Silver Helmet Award is our football programs highest individual honor. If you see a young man
from Racine Horlick with a silver helmet on tonight… please take notice. He represents the highest
standards of our football program. This award is given to the player who epitomizes team, play,
hustle, hard work, aggressiveness, and commitment to excellence, sportsmanship and self-sacrifice.
He is what high school football is all about and what we want the image of REBEL FOOTBALL to be.
He is simply the best of the best, the cream of the crop. Nothing will keep this young man from
losing sight of his team goals first, and his own personal aspirations second. He is a solid citizen, an
excellent student, a tireless worker in the weight room and an individual dedicated to his family and
church. He is the type of individual who is respected by all hid teammates and who loves the game
of football. He will run, block, tackle at full speed and does not know the meaning of the world
quit. He is a ferocious competitor who will win with humility and take lumps with grace and dignity.
You will not see many silver helmets, just as you do not see a lot of Heisman Trophy winners, or Hall of
Famer or Metal of Honor winners. These distinctions and honors are for a rare breed of individual, one that
he does pass our way, touches all that are fortunate enough to be a part enough of his quest for greatness.

Why the wing?

The scarlet and gray “Winged” football helmet you see worn by the Horlick Rebels has a very significant
meaning to our program. First, it represents the finest traditions of the great game of football. Many of the
original leather helmets displayed this design pattern in an effort to reinforce the headgear and offer greater
protection for the athlete. Secondly, it is worn and has become emblematic of such great football powers as
Michigan University and the University of Delaware. The Wolverines of Michigan are known and respected
for their great hard-hitting defense, and the Blue Hens of Delaware are synonomous with the explosive high
powered Wing T Offense. Our Rebel football program closely identifies with the football philosophies of
these great institutions and takes great pride in wearing their symbolic helmet design. We want our student/
athlete to know that when they strap on the scarlet and gray wing it represents: Pride, Tradition, Team, Dis-
cipline, Attitude and Toughness. It is also a message to our opponents, that they will be respected and treated
with sportsmanship at all times.
We strongly believe that some of the finest student/athletes in the City of Racine will be wearing the scarlet
and gray wing tonight.

06
 Attitude is Everything
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. At-
titude, to me is more important than fact. It is more important than the
past, than money, than circumstances, then failures, than successes, then
what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appear-
ance, talent or skill. It will make or break a company, a church, a home, a
team.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice to make every day regarding
the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past…
we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot
change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string
we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what hap-
pens to me and 90% how I react to it.

Never Quit
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
when the path you’re on seems all uphill,
When hard work is getting you down a bit…
Rest if you must but NEVER QUIT.
Life is strange with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
Don’t give up when the pace seems slow…
You will succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out,
Overcoming the clouds of doubt,
So stick to the fight when hardest hit…
You will succeed when you NEVER QUIT.
