THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 71010 is for Johnson, we find there are two, There is George, the reporter, who finds all that,s new. And Ethel, a girl we surely admire, To just be her equal, is our one desire. Then to our heart comes a tone of regret As we think of our J we have not mentioned yet, The Juniors, a class of value so rare With never a doubt nor never a care. Until it was whispered in somebodyis room That Juniors were just on the verge of their doom.

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 Not only alone does she use them in school But many a fellow is under her rule. There are Semraus two we canlt get mixed For it seems that their differences by nature are fixed. And Sexton who, too, owns a seat in our row Which has never been broken so we sure are slow. There's Sickles the fellow who is rather inclined To notice the seat we see just behind His own seat in school, and it also is said That in baseball he pitches great curves round your head. T stands for Tibbetts who takes German IV And that surely means that she has troubles galore, Then T is for tournament we went as you guessed Having played all our rivals and proved we were best. U is for use and we sure have a time To find all these names and use them in rhyme. V is the Verick the sort of a fellow Who never lays down and never gets yellow. He kills them in football and basketball too And also in studies, he plows his way through. You never can stop him and so it will be When it comes to lifels weary and troublesome sea. For Van Loon, the girl who is third in our class, We need never worry for fear shelll not pass. W is for Winters, and we surely must say, That he gladly has helped us in more than one way. He was captain in football and sure knew its ropes And he never blighted our plans nor our hopes. For Wright, and excuse us for wanting to smile For in order to see him he must stand off a mile. We find he was chosen by men of authority To take his place with the mighty minority. And hold his position of tackle With ease Because he could punt and also could seize. And go where you will and search where you can You will never find a more business like man. Z is for Zimmerman though some call him Zim If you want anything said, just tell it to him. And Zeibell welve wondered and never could see His reason for wrecking the laboratory. But accidents happen and must come to pass Or else we would have to abandon our class, And always remember when we come to your mind We surpass other classes and leave them behind. P. C. 14. 20
