T0 ALL-TTL' hope and trust that during your remaining years in T. ll. you will aim to maintain the good name and honor ol' TOMAH HIGII SCHOOL. Wie believe that you admire us and are grieved to see us leayc. Wle hope so at least, as one ol' our greatest trials was to teach you, the underclassmen, to respect our dignity, and we now trust that you will laithliully uphold the ideals lor which we have striven. We Suggest That: You keep your leet out ol' the aisle when Griggs is passing. You don't throw chalkfthe doors may be locked during noon hours. Everybody sing in morning- chorus. You don't stand in groups in the halls. You don't chew gum in class. The doors be closed when Hopp laughs so as not to disturb the apparatus in the Lab. You don't copy your neighbor's book report. You don't make Mr. Davis blush. That Helen don't meet Lloyd in the lower hall every noon and night. That you report at the ollice when sent out ol' class to avoid llurthcr trouble. That you don't come to class alter an absence without a permit. Lad Hanover get rubber heels so as not to rattle the windows when hc walks. XVe all learn to use correct ljnglish and spell correctly to avoid the llnglish llospital. How Would It Seem If: Physics was out ol' the course. The schoolhouse wasn't on the hill. There were no Freshmen. Everybody studied. VVC always got lo. Mr. Maxwell should say, By the wayfu There weren't any exams. Mr. Davis began his speeches by saying, Ah 2' The Juniors liorgot to give a Prom. Alvera was on time. VVe all behaved. There were no Notebooks. The Cash Store trio should break up. One Monday would pass without a speech from Mr. Bray. Clara Y. recited in history. O'Brien kept still. Art VVegner should grow. Herbert Rose had his German. Spud could visit the Reading Table. Mr. Maxwell should lead the Orchestra. There were no moyies to go to. Lydia Hendricks didn't smile all day long. Florence O'Leary wasn't always good-natured. Viola Corbet stopped talking. August Cabower wasn't bashliul. Vera Hatch did not giggle. Eldon Noth should recite. Florence Drcsher should grow. Mildred Skinner whispered during study periods. Sherman studied once in a while. Loretta wasnlt so studious. 25

To the Students of Tomah High School LANCING backward over our four years' life in Tomah High School-four years of hard work along the narrow path that leads to the wide field of knowl- edge-we feel that we cannot part from you, our underclassmen, without' a few words of parting advice. The class of 1917 does not feel that it has been perfection, but the old saying goes, Experience is a good teacher, yet she is sometimes rough in dealing with her pupils so perhaps by following our advice you may escape a few of her hardest knocks. CLASS OF 1918-Three months hence you will tread the same paths we have trod, think the same thoughts we have thought and undergo the same difficulties we have undergone, and, no doubt, try to excel us in brilliancy. For three years, Juniors, we have watched you who are to Hll the places left vacant by us. We are proud of your debaters, your orators and athletes and feel that you can ably fill our places. Take up your burdens and responsibilities and never forget that you are Seniors and act accord- ingly. Under no conditions ever whisper in the class rooms, for remember you are unceasingly watched. Continue the publication of the Annual. By no means let the good work fall through, but raise the price, for there's no money in it as it is. Do not form the evil habit, as a few of your predecessors did, of translating German in groups ofthree or four, for it may lead to other things, as talking fashion, discussing last night's dates, etc. As Seniors, show your importance by having many class meetings-any time, morning, noon or night. After having a night out the previous evening be sure and have your Physics, German and History or you may be requested to recite after school. Lastly, stick together, keep in constant touch with each other, don't let your members drop out. You areentering your last year in school life-make the most of it. CLASS OF 1919-An essential part of a good school is punctuality. Along this line some of your members are sadly lacking-improve. Don't be too far advanced for your years. Keep to the manners and customs of the Sophomore Class. Don't try to rival the Seniors. Don't spurn the Freshmen. Remember you have but just passed that stage and still have a few oftheir traits. Apply yourselves industriously to your studies. Do not concentrate all your attention on one subject-experience has shown that it is a poor plan. CLASS OF IQ20-YOU are a praiseworthy class although a few of you seem to have escaped the kindergarten very early. You have succeeded in learning to walk up the two flights of stairs without a mishap. The hours kept by you we do not approve. Any Freshman sleighride party should return before six A. M. regardless of the con- dition of the roads. Also, dances and theater parties to allure the bashful young swains on the Faculty are tabooed. So look out! By referring to your course of study you will End that history extends throughout your Sophomore year. We suggest that you gain the friendship of some promising member of this year's Sophomore class, and borrow his or her notebook-'twill be of great value. Treat the coming Freshmen with all due regard. Be good to them, tell them of the time-honored customs of the school. Don't laugh at the many falls they take as a result of learning to walk up stairs. Do not smile when they assemble for music and do not annoy them. Keep up your studies so that when you are Seniors you will not be obliged to make up Freshman subjects. 2-1-

Coach Davis, however, immediately decided that the material looked promising and started the ball rolling. The team proved to be an exceptionally heavy and fast machine and easily showed its superiority by defeating Portage at that place by a I4 to 0 score fa thing which had not been done for some yearslg also holding La Grosse to a one score game. Tomah defeated every opponent with the exception of La Crosse and the outlook is promising for next year although we lose Ziebell and Moran. George VVoll' CCapt.j. . . . Ed. DeNomie ...,....
