I THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Sophomore History The class of 1916 entered with an enrollment of seventy-five. The first weeks were spent in trying to absorb the multitudinous rules, juggling schedules and trying to keep the austere classmen from finding out how green we really were. The class organized and elected the following officers: Emery Higgins, Margurite Nuzum, and Earl Madden, We were represented in both football and basket ball by the illustrious Higgins, who swept all before him. .. We entered as Sophomores slightly depleted in number but sus- tained by the extended breadth of our wisdom. This year the class officers are John Warren, Doris Drew, and Gladys Wright, who are all very eflicient. We were represented on the gridiron by Moran, Madden, and Higgins. We also won first place in the football tour- nament and second place in basketball. Parties! We dont believe in them, we are too serious minded? As to our future accomplishments. Well!

THE TOMAH HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Freshman Class History September the second will always be a day of momentous im- portance to the Freshmen Class, because it was our first day in High School. Scarceiy had we entered the door when a dreadful fright seized us, but we braved the storm and climbed the stairs with a steady tread. But Oh! When the main room was reached our fear increased, for groups were scattered here and there, dignified Seniors and wise Sophomores, waiting for the arrival of the ttEmeraldth All eyes were fastened upon us as we entered the room, and many gave us kindly advice such as, HDonit be afraid little Freshie, the green will soon wear off. After a short time we drew our seats and after troubling those wiser than ourselves, we found them. The most difficult task of all was that of finding our class rooms. How kindly we were directed to the wrong rooms and what a shout went up when we innocently entered them. We bravely endured the taunts and jests of the older pupils and gradually became accustomed to the ways of High School life. At our first meeting we elected the following officers: ROYAM KILMER .......................................
