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.

Dear Fans,
Greetings and welcome to tonight’s ballgame. This year’s Rebels have worked extremely
hard over the off season and throughout the heat of summer two-a-days practices. They have
trained in the weight room and with field training exercises including tire pulls, tractor tire flips,
barrel throws, farmer walks, and plyometrics. we look forward to fielding a team that will give
maximum effort on every play and make family, friends, alumni and fans prouod to support
Rebel Football. You will likely notice some changes to this year’s offense as we are making an ef-
fort to establish a strong running game and utilize our skilled athletes in various ways. The 2010
season has brought changes to the defensive side of the ball as well. We will be incorporating a
new 3-5-3 stack defense that will be filled with constant movement, blitzes and stunts. We are
excited for the changes and ecouraged by the commitment we have seen from this year’s team.
We look forward to improvement each and every day as we strive to keep the strong tradition
of Rebel Football alive! We ask that you are positive and encouraging of our young athletes and
encourage sportsmanship in the stands through leading by example.
Enjoy tonight’s ballgame and thank you for your support. Go Rebels!

Since 1929 the Horlick High Spirit has been alive and well in our family. We are proud to be the Horlick Gradu-
ates and wish all of the students, teachers, sports, sport teams, coaches, clubs and organizations good luck in
achieving their goals this year.
Ironman Award
The Ironman award is symbolized by a round silver decal with an arm raising a dumbbell. If you notice players
with these decals on the back of their helmet, they have attended 80% or more of the summer weight training
and conditioning sessions. These sessions were held throughout the summer in the early morning hours for all
athletes looking to become the best that they can be. Many of our football players achieved the 80% benchmark
this year, and have been awarded the Ironman decal for their efforts. While the true fruit of their labor will be
displayed on the game field each and every play, we felt it was important to give public recognition for their total
dedication to Horlick athletics.
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 orginial leather
helmets displayed this design pattern in an effort to reinforce the headgear and offer greater protections for teh
athlee. Secondly, it is worn and has become emblematic of such great football powers of Michigan University
and the University of Delaware.The Wolverines of Michigan are known and respected for their great hard-hitting
defence and the Blue Hens of Delaware are synonomous with the explosive high powered Wing T Offense. Our
Our Rebel football prgam closely identifies with the football philosophies with of these great insitutions and takes
great prie in wearing their symbolic helmet design. We want our student-athlete to know that when they star on
the scarlet and gray wing it reprents: Pride, Tradition, Team, Discipline, Attide, 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 sudent-athletes in the City of Racine will be wearing the scarlet and gray wing tonight.

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.
