THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL And if you think we are guessing awrong, We refer you again to the words of the song. There,s Bongers renowned through countries afar As the wonderful peerless basket-ball star, And Baker, the girl of the funniest ways, Inviting, repelling with puzzles and maze, Shels against you, she,s for you, you sure have to guess In trying to solve her, we are stuck, we confess. C stands for Compton of whom it is said Donlt push him or pull him on account of his head But youlll have to excuse it, for of course, you all see The number of years he's debated are three. And take it from us, welve got it complete He never has taken a single defeat. Its also for Chapman, a girl of reserve Who when once in the right, you never can swerve. Then again therels CaVigelli, oh what a name Donlt try to pronounce it, for ,twill all be in vain. Just think what a burden to carry through life And oh! what a name to bestow on a wife. D stands for Doten, who with instruments rare, Inscribes us strange figures on paper and air, Then Dewey, the man with the pompadour hair, Who never is bored and neler has a care. We must be mistaken, for welve got a hunch He belongs to a girl from the D. D. bunch. Then again therels DeLong, who with rapture divine, Will watch basket-ball games regardless of time. But weire oft led to think there is some other cause For this hearty interest and decided applause. Drowatzky the boy we often call Duke, Who wins in exams by right or by fluke. E is for energy. Remember two kinds When it comes to exams they are mixed in our minds. is forlorn and such are our looks When we pay the price for the marks in our books. G is for Griswold, and we sure are proud That in the long list of Seniors, her name is allowed. Tis also for Gleiss with beauty so rare Composed of blue eyes and the brightest of hair. H is for Heilmann, a German, we guess, Deduced from the girl and the name we confess. And Hilliker, the boy who first sees the joke, In all recitations e,en though we misspoke. I is for Ivy which clings to the last As we cling to joys forever gone past.

THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL picnic later when the actions of some of our honorable members present were reported to Mr. Bray, and they lost their exemptions. Some of the class were attacked with Geometryitis which even an experienced doctor like Miss Keifer could not cure. Our Senior year was here before we realized it. There were four new teachers, Mr. Collinge and Miss Saunders, taking the places of Mr; Isley and Miss OiKeefe. The Teachers and Commercial Courses had been introduced and Miss Mahoney and Mr. Callan took charge of them. rWe are glad yet sorry that this is our last year, and we will greatly miss all the familiar faces. Sickles, Reinhard, Nuzum, Wright, Verick and Winter won places on the foot-ball team, Lambert, Winter, Verick, and Bongers on the basket-ball. Our class has the distinction of being the first class to defeat the faculty in the Faculty-e Senior basket-ball game. The Seniors were represented by Cavigelli, Reinhard, Ayers, Sickles, and Compton against Fruth, Bray, Chin- nock, Collinge, and Callan, the Faculty. It was a fierce battle and at times the smoke was so thick that we could not even see the combat- ants, but when the smoke cleared, we saw that they were all alive in spite of having been rolled on the floor, stepped on and thrown into corners. Of course, we were sorry to hurt the feelings of the Faculty, but we were after renown. Compton, Nuzum, Reinhard and Cavig- elli represented our class on the debating teams. Compton our star debater, has been on a winning team in four Inter-State School De- bates during the last three years. Of the teachers, who were here our first year, only three, Miss Keifer, Miss Rice, and Mr. Bray have survived the ordeal. Only two lasted more than one year, Miss Hargrave, who remained with us for two years and Miss OiKeefe who helped us for three years. Miss Rice and Mr. Bray began their career in our High School, at the same time that we began ours. Such is evolution e-instead of being green, weak, tired t ifreshies, we stand mature, strong, fearless men and women forty-three strong. We gladly take our places in the tasks of the world. We are the repre- sentatives of the nineteenth century, given by Father Time to his youngest daughter, the 20th Century. We are marching to the music of a new epoch in the worlds history, which more vividly than others, sets forth the accomplishments of the'other Centuries. MADGE ROBERTSON. $$$$ Class Tango is for Ayars. He sure puts them on is for Betthusier, a Ralph and a John For Borchert, the girl with the delicate air Which toiling or resting, she ever doth wear. 17
