I congratulate you at this Commencement time. Commencement Day marks the line between school life and life's school. In the past your life has been more or less controlled, your major efforts have been guided. Now you are to be the carvers of your careers-responsible for your time, your efforts, your successes, and your mistakes. Commencement is the time to inventory your personal equipment--to sum up your assets and liabilities and to chart your new course. Realize the importance of years immediately following graduation. The success of later life depends largely upon the next few years. Do not mar a life by wasting the fateful years immediately ahead. Education for you is not finished. It began before you entered school and should continue for years to come. Let your education in the future, as in the past, mold your character, cultivate your intellect, and develop your personality. Let it come from your life work, from your avocational pursuits, and from your recreation-in short from your every contact. That each senior may find happiness and a life replete with service is the parting wish as I say farewell to the Class of 1931. , E. J. MCKEAN CXQSEDLVQ X I Page 1: HAMOT C CAROL EKSTROM, B. S.

Won sometimes, but did no crowingg Lost sometimes, but didnit wail, Took his beating, but kept going, Never let his courage fail.

As Freshmen, the class was led by its ofhcersz M. Wells, W, Brennan, L. Wil- son, and A. Rehberg. When they were graduated to the exalted rank of Sophomores, they considered themselves indispensable to the high school. They selected I. Comiskey, G. Kelpe, M. Wells, and F. Barber as officers to guide them through their second year. tg 5 In the fall the boys in the class who tried out for football were: E. Shutter, J. Bosshard, C. Newlin, F. Biebel, R. Reisenauer, D. Walters, C. Strozewski, F. Mueller, and H. Skidmore. When the clubs were organized, the Sophomores were represented by nine of their number in the Girls, Glee Club, ten in the Crchestra, twenty in the Band, nine in the Home Economics Club, six in the German Club, four in the Dramatic Club, eight in the Latin Club, fifteen on the Owl Staff, and six in the Phi-Bi-Chem. One of the cheer leaders, L. G. Williams, was also a member of the Sophomore Class, and W. Bren- nan was a member of the Mass Meeting Board. At Carnival time as many of us as possible took active part in the main show or side shows. The Sophomores elected I. Comiskey and W. Brennan for class attendants. Ii X.

Class of '33-Continued The class of 1933 was not inactive during the winter season. When the debate season came around, C. Newlin, F, Biebel, W. Brennan, G. Kelpe, N. Weiss, and F. Bar- ber represented the class on the debate squad. J. Bosshard, R. Reisenauer, H. Skidmore, and D. Walters made the basket-ball squad. The class basket-ball team consisted of F. Biebel, C. Strozewski, R. Strozewski, J. Qlson, J. Arity, W. Brennan, E. Honish, and L. G. Williams. ' On December 12 the class as a whole gave an all school party which was a success in every way. The program was about Christmas. Santa Claus took orders for gifts. Many of us had parts in the unique Washington's Birthday program which Our class gave. The program emphasized patriotism rather than Washington. When the tryouts for Oratory, Declamatory, Extemporaneous Speaking, and EX- temporaneous Reading arrived, we were not slow about answering the call, and the class was well represented. Then came spring, and all of the Sophomores began to think as I was doing. One half of our high school careers was gone, and each one of us resolved to make his re- maining two years even more important to himself and to Tomah High School. l X , Page 23 eHAMOT Zin Memoriam Bapmnnh Qasper ZIB1eh Eeremher 24 1930 ?Lur1Ile Srhmleher Bleu Zlprll 18 1931 v f 7 ' r ' f 7 T HAMOT ' I f i l ' I nhl . ,sf ' 1 ' !l.A1!V,,,L,, lffwiiy. ly All-tr'JlW 1 t-fl t af ' 2Jtf',,glMwl1fff o ' y JM' ' tw W jlxifd ,1,,l: l' 4 EF-' XS M X' AJ AVL' I V ll - Junior Class J, V 9 OFFICERS Q JOHN BELL - -. - - V!

Class of ,3 2 N September, 1928, an ambitious group of young people wandered aimlessly through the Tomah High School halls of learning. This group was soon organized with a capable leader, John Bell, together with three assistants, namely, Dick Aller, Do- lores Reisenauer, and Evelyn Schroeder. These people participated in many of the outside activities. Football interested five youths, Lester Tracy being an outstanding player. He was awarded a T at the close of the season. Musical organizations, as Well as other clubs in high school, claimed the members talented sufficiently for the various clubs. During the winter, basket-ball was participated in by seven boys, all promising athletes. As the year came to a close, the class of '32 disbanded until the fall of '29. The task of reorganizing the class was now necessary. The leader for this year was LeRoy Hansen, George Lord, Dorothy Franz, and Bernice Kippen Were elected by the class for assistants. The various clubs increased their number, choosing many members from the Class of ,32. Football and basket-ball lgept the same boys, each of them becoming far bet- ter athletes, proved by the fact that many more were awarded their letters. X Page 26 v M ..

As was the previous custom, new oilicers were chosen to direct the class. John Bell was chosen for President of the Junior Class. His three assistants were: Arnold Kohl, Bernice Kippen, and Raymond Knick. Athletics were again highly favored by the Juniors, football having the same boys, four more winning letters. Basket-ball again interested its large number of par- ticipants. During the fall of 1930, the various clubs reorganized and chose new members. When the clubs were ready for their activities, D. Reisenauer, D. Franz, N. Ackerman, and H. Dewey were members of the Latin Club, R. Krase, R. Benjamin, R. Bauman, R. Comiskey, and D. Rice were chosen as members for the new German Club, W. Beck- er, E. Sowle, E. Schroeder, J. Bell, W. Schmasow, L. Rosenow, V. Hedding, and R. Knick for the Dramatic Club, A. Kohl, G. Lord, H. Ziegler, and B. Potter for Hi-Y members, L. Kissinger, I. Wagner, L. Purdy, F. Vandervort, M. Day, and H. Shutter for the Home Economics Club, V. Krase for Phi-Bi-Chem Club, and twenty-five Jun- iors are in the Junior Commerce Club. At the 1930 Carnival, which was held November 14, Evelyn Schroeder and Rich7 ard Aller were elected by the Junior Class to serve as attendants at the crowning of the King and Queen of the high school. The Juniors sponsored the Lincoln program, as well as an All-School February party. . N , . , Page 27 ffelgu if -r 1 151 . ZZTW HM?

These nominees were placed on a ballotg the entire student body voted for the three they thought would best suit the po- sition. The result was that three snappy boys, Lee Dinsmore, L. G. Williams, and LaVern Rosenow, were elected as our cheer leaders. The boys have worked hard and consist- ently and have accomplished a great deal.

He has cer- tainly proved his ability in holding a position such as this. This may be proved, in part, by the fact that To- mah won the South Central Confer- ence Championship this year. The old method of electing a cap- tain for the entire season of basket- ball was discontinued this year. ln- stead, before each game a boy from the team was appointed to act as a Captain for that particular game. How- ever, it seems that Al Hovey was ap- pointed captain for most of the games. This new system was adopted so that those boys deserving to be captain could be appointed to lead the team, and in this way keep af better feeling among the members of the team. At the close of last year's track season, Arthur -lanke was elected track captain for the 1930-31 season. Art was one of the four members of the championship relay team in Tomafh , High last year, and we look forward to a very successful 1930-31 season i under his captaincy. ' 7 1.1.

To be happy, healthy, or prosperous? To be the school's best student? To be an all-American athlete? If you can get a definite desire of what you want to do or be, you will be more than halfway on th: road to success. An intense faith will keep you going and hasten your journey. Have always before you a clear image of your desire and the details of its accomplishment. Grow that faith, that confidence which will mak: you suc- ceed. Do not be content to be mediocre, barely making the squadf, No one loses who was not Hrst a loser in his own mind. Books, speeches, and songs are written about people who first had a definite desire backed up by an un- faltering faith-and championship teams are made of them. If you think you're beaten, you are, If you think you'll lose, youive lost, If you think you dare not, you don't. For out in the world youlll find If you'd like to win, but think you canit, Success begins with a fellowys will. 1t's almost a cinch you won't. It's all in the state of mind. X Page BQ All of this work is done by our two managers, Ted Olson and Lyle Goff, and their assistants, John HAMOTC A Assistant Coaches N order to have a championship team, it is necessary to have good coaches. So we want to give our two assista-nt coaches, Mr. Stockton and Mr. Nelson, a great deal of credit. They performed their duties faithfully and skillfully. It would be difficult for one coach to do all the coaching, and we are very fortunate to have men of such splendid caliber and personality to assist Mr, Olson. These two men have had c0n- siderable experience in football, which enabled them to coach their proteges. The team has always displayed good sportsmanship and an excellent spirit, and it was well trained to show fine team work. Mr. Nelson, a graduate of the South Dakota State Teachers College, and Mr. Stockton, a graduate of Oshkosh State Teachers College, took an active part in the athletic program of the schools. We wish to express our appreciation for the consistent work they have done for our boys, of work they ha-ve accomplished, the credit they have brought to the school, and the fact that they are als0 greatly responsible for the records made by the teams. Managers , N athletics, as well as in other phases of life, people take part both directly and indirectly. Those that work indirectly help win the games. Maybe you do not think so, but the man- agers never receive the amount of credit they should get. The managers have a responsible position. They have to line the field, carry out benches, take care of the balls and other equipment, and take care of all the financial duties of the association. When they have any time to spare, it is usually ta-ken by work in the dressing room, they take down the minutes that each player plays, and take care of the injured. In the spring of the year they have to prepare the field for track. They fill holes with sawdust for jumping, repair the hurdles, and mark the running ground. Bell and Arnold Kohl. As a reward for this work, they can take one trip each to football games ternate trips in basket-ball. The two managers receive a manager's letter.

Football THE RESUME OF THE SEASON N September 2, 1930, fifty-four men reported to Mr. Olson for suits. Of these fifty-four there were nine lettermen: A. Janke, E. Fenske, W. Spangenberg, L. Tracy,,T. Sorenson, R. Wright, G. Chase, G. Stoddard, and L. Hansen. With these men as a base and several other good players of last year, things look like a successful season. Practice started immediately. It will not take long to get down to real practice, as most of the team have been in training all summer. Our first game will be the nine- teenth of this month with the Alumni. ALUMNI 6-TOMAH 0 The 1930 football season began when the High School and Alumni teams clashed on the high school campus. The Alumni team won with one touchdown, 6 to 0, but failed to kick goal for the extra point. Despite the fact that the Alumni outweighed the high school squa y a big mar- gin, the wcarers of the white and gold held their heavier antagonists f 'n the third quarter Tracy came out of a scrimmage with a twisted ankle. This gav the Alumni an advantage, and toward the last of the third quarter pushed the pigskin over the line for a touchdown. , The high school team played a good game, considering the strength of the Alumni. X Page 31 .HAMOT Football-Continued MAUSTON 6-TOMAH 31 The Tomah High School football team scored an easy victory over Mauston, with a score of 31 to 6. They made only one first down against our boys in the entire game and, with the exception of the one touchdown, were never a serious threat. Maustonfs touchdown came in the third quarter, against the second team, when a visiting player intercepted a pass and ran 90 yards for the counter. Tracy was out of the game with a bad ankle, sustained in the Alumni game, but Rogge did a good job in the fullback position, especially on defense. Spangenberg did some clever running, once breaking away for a fifty yard run for a touchdown. The entire Tomah line did well in opening up holes for the backs to plunge through. AQUINAS 0-TOMAH 12 Tomah's superiority was evident all through the game with the Aquinas team at La Crosse. The game was played on a new field, which was soft and rough, and slowed up the local team considerably. Tomah was frequently penalized which kept down the score. The ame was the season's first for the team awa from home and roved to be a g. 1 Q . y P ood ex erience. Fre uent enalties, mixed si nals, and other drawbacks ke t the score 5 P q P 8 P own. The Tomah line functioned well in this game, with Captain Stoddard and Janke playing steady ball. Spangenberg at left half played his usually brilliant game, mak- ing Tomahfs two touchdowns on long runs. In the second quarter Spang snared an Aquinas pass and ran SO yards through a broken field for the first counter. In the fourth quarter he ran 80 yards for a touchdown, dodging several tacklers on the way. RICHLAND CENTER 6-TOMAH 20 The Tomah High School football squad came through with a victory over the highly-touted Richland Center High School team. Tomah's first touchdown came in the first few minutes of playg in fact, on the first play made by Tomah, Spang found a wide hole which had opened in the opposing line and galloped merrily down half the length of the field for the counter. Toward the end of the first half, Coach Olson began relieving various players on his team, due to the excessive heat, and it was then that Richland Center, following a Tomah fumble, got around a weakened end for a touchdown. The third quarter opened with Tomah showing the speed and fighting spirit which had been expected of this yearfs team. Two touchdowns were hung up in this quarter, with a point being made after a touchdown. ' The line played a very good game, Special credit goes to Captain Stoddard, Jan- ke, Al Hovey, and Henry. Spang, Rogge, and Tracy were the main threats in the back- Held. VIROQUA 12-TOMAH 32 Tomah won from Viroqua on our home field by a score of 32 to 12. It was an easy victory for Tomah. The team as a whole functioned smoothly and steadily as the game progressed. With Tracy back in the game, more power was added to the offense. i X Page 32 as HAMO'T Football-Continued The field was a little muddy, due to rain in the forenoon, but the boys put on their mud cleats and played a real game. Twenty-seven boys got a chance to play in this game to see what football was really like. Viroqua got their touchdowns when playing against the second and third teams. They failed, however, to make their extra points. This game with Viroqua is our second conference victory. COTTER 13-TOMAH 0 Playing against a team that outweighed them considerably, Tomah's team put up a great battle in the game against Cotter High of Winona, not a conference opponent. Tomah's defense was good in this game, but the offense was not quite up to stand- ard, due, no doubt, in a great measure, to the absence of Spang, who was out with an injury. Although a touchdown was made by Cotter in each half, the Tomah boys played the best game in the second half. Tackling was good with several boys in on each tackle. The line also held well in Cotter's smashing attacks. The feature play of the game was a 60-yard run for a touchdown by C'otter's halfback, Curro, former all-city halfback in Milwaukee. This game had no bearing on Tomah,s rating in the conference. SPARTA 0-TOMAH 12 Tomah met her old rival, Sparta, this year with a will to win. The game was hard fought by both teams. Tomah scored in the first quarter, Tracy plunging across for the touchdown. Hen- ry's place-kick for the extra point was about a foot wide of the upright. Both Tracy and Spang were injured, but Spang was able to finish the game. In the fourth quarter Tomah scored again, following a Sparta kick which went out of bounds on their 40 yard line. A pass from Hansen to Henry gained 20 yards, and Spang took the oval over on the next play. The place-kick was blocked, and the game ended 12 to 0 in favor of Tomah. Every senior was given a chance to play in the last quarter. Tomah's line from tackle to tackle was like a stone wall. Captain Stoddard, Oakes, Fenske, Lord, and Janke made up that part of the line. LOGAN 2-TOMAH 12 The last game of the season was played at La Crosse on Saturday, November 8. It was an ideal day for the gameg both teams were undefeated and tied for first place in the conference. The boys realized what this game meant, and they set their hearts and souls on winning. The first touchdown came on the opening kick off by a well planned criss-cross play. The ball was received by Caldwell, who ran across the field leading all the Logan players with him, as he was about to be tackled, he handed the ball to Spang, who went the opposite way and ran down the field 80 yards for a touchdown. It was one of the most thrilling plays ever seen in La Crosse, perfectly executed. X l Page 53 HAMOT r Third row: L. Tracy, VV. Spangenberg, G. Stoddard, VY. Spangenberg, E. Fenske, G. Stoddard.

Football-Continued During the whole game each boy played heads up football and outwitted and out- fought the Loganites. Logan was unable to gain consistently, although their team out- weighed ours 15 pounds to the mang Tomah's fighting spirit counter-balanced this. In the third quarter, a long pass from Spang to Al Hovey scored the second touchdown. Both tries for points failed. Logan got their two points when one of Henry's punts was blocked, and the ball rolled back over the goal line for a safety. This ended the career of many seniors who are proud to say they were on the team that won the first football championship for Tomah High.

Football Banquet S is customary at the end of each football season, an annual banquet was given for the football boys in the Congregational Church on November 20. The color scheme of the decorations was white and gold, the high school colors. This was carried out in the garlands on the wall, the table decorations, the napkins, the candles, and the menu. Mr. William McCaul acted as toastmaster. Among the speakers on the program were Coach Olson, Glenn Stoddard, captain of the team, and Mr. George Simpson, Ath- letic Director of Eau Claire State Teachers College. The latter discussed the values of football and what it means to be a football player. At the conclusion of his speech, Mr. Dinsmore presented each of the boys with a small gold football on which the Words Conference Champs, 1930 were engraved. After the presentation, the letter men passed into the next room and voted for the captain of the team. The lights in the banquet hall were extinguished, and the players filed back into the darkened room, headed by Captain Stoddard, bearing a lighted can- dle which he presented to Lester Tracy, the captain-elect.

HE G. A. A. was recently organized by our Gym teacher, Miss Fiedler. The club lives up to its name in all of its activities. Some of the functions are: basket-ball, pin ball, tennis, and other tournaments, mass meeting stunts, hikes, and skating. One of the main events of the year was the mass meeting before the Logan basket- ball game which they sponsored. All who participated in the mass meeting were mem- bers of the G. A. A. The musical number of the program was a selection from the G. A. A. Band, led by Fern Barber. The most interesting feature was the stunt which Miss Fiedler, as well as eight girls, worked hard to put across. Of course, to live up to the aims of the organization, the stunt was a combination of different forms of gym, particularly tumbling. The eight girls were dressed as clowns. They performed some of the most artistic parts of tumbling which were: eight-legged animal, tumble-down pyramid, double roll, and elephant walk. The climax came when the girls dived through hoops that spelled T-O-M-A-H. Can a girl, as well as a boy, win a TDP This is what Dorothy Franz, the point secretary, has to say: Can girls earn a 'T' in athletics? It was not until the organiza- tion of the Girls' Athletic Association that this Was possible. These 'T's differ in size from those of the boys, but each stands for the same school. Points may be earned in basket-ball, baseball, pin ball, volley ball, tennis, skiing, skating, tobogganing, coasting, hiking, horseback riding, and a point is given for an A in each academic subject. Each girl must have one thousand points when she graduates, if she wishes a 'T,, so this is the reason you often see girls hike, skate, coast, and participate in various other sports. Every club has its party for its members to enjoy. The G. A. A. surely took this opportunity when the Girl and Boy party was given on St. Valentine,s Day in the Gym. The members of the G. A. A. came in couples, dressed in costumes of different kinds and ages. The Grand March took place at 8:30, led by the president of the G. A. A., Doris Burns, and her partner. .. X. Page 36 1HAM0T Girls' Athletic Association-Continued To give us some idea of the various sports that the G. A. A. girls participated in, the following write-ups were submitted by the head of each sport: PIN BALL Pin ball opened a busy season of sports for the members of the G. A. A. An in- teresting tournament was conducted and enjoyed. Each of the upper three classes com- piled teams consisting of all the members of the classes. A captain was chosen by each team, and an inspiring name and emblem of distinction in dress was contrived. X The Seniors christened their teams Hi-Fliers and Lightning. The respective signs of membership in each team were two white aeroplanes and a black 'L.' The Juniors had three teams: 'Thel team, which wore a black 'T,' Aces, distinguished with two orange aces of spades, and Fleet Foots, who sped over the floor with wings on their feet. The Sophomores surpassed the other classes with four teams: The bold Pirates, sashed and fitted with knotted bandannas, Dominoes, who wore dominoes, the All Stars, who wore a star, and the Cubs, wearing little black bears. All the teams, as you can imag- ine, made a fine appearance in these original decorations of dress. These teams waged out their battles after school, and victory was taken by the two Sophomore teams, the All Stars, winning first place, and the Pirates, capturing second. A senior team, the Lightning team, won third place. Those who had not been absent from the games were given twenty-five points to- ward a 'T.' A class team was picked from each class, composed of those who had done exceptionally good playing. Members of these teams received fifty points. -+Mary Stebem TENNIS Your serve!

Baseball! -Marjorie Miller BASEBALL Class Spirit! Pep! As a spring sport, baseball can't be beat. We play it and live it, but most of all, we love it. The game begins! Watch that ball! ' Every eye is turned towards the players, as they run from base to base and bring home a score for their winning side. Good sportsmanship was displayed by all girls who participated in baseball, by playing oif their tournaments at six-thirty o'clock in the morning. Although, having to fight hard, the class of '31 came out on top. A good close season is expected this year, as each class is putting forth its best ef- forts to win the Baseball Championship. For the Seniors it will be the last tournament and will be long remembered by those who participated. The under-classmen will be responsible for carrying on the honor of the most popular sport-Baseball. -Evelyn Schroeder VOLLEY BALL Volley ball! Pep! Yellsl It is a game for all to take part in. It is popular be- cause it furnished much excitement. Volley ball is a game that can be easily mastered, although it requires teamwork and speed throughout the entire game. The server strikes the ballg it is tossed back and forth across the net for a few moments, all the players, as well as the spectators, have their eyes on the ball, then, unexpectedly, the ball bounces on the floor. Why not enjoy taking part in this sport? -Leona Kissinger l X Pa 34' ff HAMOT .Q The Carnival HE eleventh annual carnival of Tomah High School was the most successful of all, not only from a financial standpoint, but also from an educational one, in that it developed in the students such desirable qualities as initiative, leadership, and responsibility. The main show held a new thrill this year, the secret election of the King and Queen. No one knew until the night of the Carnival who the King and Queen, as well as the Senior attendants, were. Each one was betting on his man, but the real winners were not known until that night. During the main show, which was entitled the Fun Frolic, the people of Fun Land arrived to see the coronation of their King and Queen. They passed the time in sing- ing, dancing, and other amusements until the arrival of the royal pair. The attendants appeared on the stage first and made ready for the crowning. Then King Arthur Janke and his consort, Jane Smith, entered and were crowned in truly roy- al fashion, while their subjects knelt in homage to them. The side shows played their part in making this carnival a big success. They seemed to lend more pep than usual to the merry-making, perhaps because of the large variety of them. There was the Pirate Chorus, Fun House, Puppet Show, Pet Show, Kindergarten Band, Pitching Gallery, Family Album, Minstrel Show, Midget Golf Links, Flirty Fifties, Fortune Tellers, and Kiddie Kapers. i X Page 38 HAMOT The Carnival-Continued .SQ What would a carnival be like if the halls were not decorated? This year the decorations were deemed better than ever before. Work was started on them early in they week, and by the time they were finished, the whole first floor was transformed into a work of art. The Sophomores won first place with their beautiful autumn dec- orations, and the Freshmen Won second place. The poster contest was open to everyone in high school, as usual. Many real ar- tists showed up in this contest, making it very hard to judge these posters due to the fact that so many were excellent. First and second prizes, however, were awarded to Myrtle Von Haden and Norma Kupper. The jitney dance, concessions, candy, sandwiches, eskimo pies, and lemonade were irresistible. These items all helped everyone to have a good time. The total receipts of the carnival were 5667-57, which was 3517.98 more than was made at any previous T. H. S. carnival. The net amount realized was S484.41. Put- ting all these facts together, one can see that the 1930 carnival is likely to befremem- bered in the history of T. H. S.

Early in the year when the staff was organized with Miss McCluskey as its sponsor, they chose as an incentive slogan Originality Plusf' In carrying out this idea they have worked hard to produce a book that would be uniquely different from annuals of the past, a book or anized under an entirel different lan. g Y P The 1930 Hamot was given First Class Honor Rating among books of its class in the National Yearbook Crit- ical Service of the National Scholastic Press Association, conducted by the University of Minnesota. In editing this Hamot the staff feels especially in- debted to the faculty, Whose Constructive criticisms and helpful ideas have so helped us, and to the students, whose co-operation made the carnival a success.

KOEHLER THE MOUTHPIECE OF TOMAH HIGH OR the past nine years the Owl has been successfully published under the direc- tion of Miss Drowatzky. This year Miss Ekstrom has taken the responsibility. From membership on the Owl Staff many students have won scholastic honors. The Owl has been a medium through which such members who have done es- pecially good work became eligible for membership in the Quill and Scroll. Miss Ekstrom's zeal and interest in that line of work, and also the cooperation of the staff, made it possible to submit to the student body, faculty, and alumni a bi- monthly high school paper.

EMBERSHIP is not limited to those who have acting ability, because there is so much to do in the pro- duction of a play that people of various varieties find it interesting. The Ghost Story was presented n Q for an assembly program. The Diabolical Circle was pre- ' l ' sented in the assembly by two casts, one from the Dramatic Club, and one from the school. From these two casts, the best characters, Ellsworth Hovey, Doris Burns, Raymond Knick, and Ted Olson, were chosen to represent Tomah High School in a play contest at Baraboo. Those participating in the contest were Baraboo, Mauston, Reedsburg, and Tomah. This was an entirely new type of contest, 'but Tomah succeeded in winning third place. At the regular meeetings dramatic programs are produced. X Page 51 HAMOT I D Fourth row: M, Smith, A. Rose, M. Bruehhausen, K. Bloyer, li. Allen, M. Flood, H. Standiforcl, Ii. Ben- nett, Y. Behrens.

HE Quill and Scroll is an International Honorary Society for high school journal- ists. Since 1930, when the Holt School at Liverpool, England, was granted a charter, the Quill and Scroll has been an international society. The purpose is to encourage the individuual to strive for a greater knowl- edge of journalism, as well as to teach him the power of originality. The two phases of journalism in our high school in which he may work are the Owl Staff and the Hamot Staff. To become a member of this organization a student must be at least a Junior in high school, in the upper third of his class, must have done superior work in some phase of journalism, must have a recommendation from the supervisor, and be approved by the international secretary-treasurer. National Forensic League Great things through greatest hazards are achieved. The National Forensic League is an organization for students who excel in public speaking. When they become a member, it encourages them to participate in inter- scholastic speaking as a whole. This organization was introduced into Tomah High in 1929 under the sponsorship of the Honor Society, There are thirty-two states represented in this national organization, and Wis- consin has ten chapters. Last year there were five members, but this year there are no students eligible for the membership. X Page 53 s HAMOT Programs and Parties VACATIONS HE first of a new series of assembly programs was held September 19. This one was based on the subject of vacations. Some of the new students in high school spoke, and some of the upper classmen also gave short accounts of the summer vacation. Mrs. Warren, who was fortunate enough to have wit- nessed the Passion Play at Oberammergau during the past summer, gave a vivid descrip- tion of the production. BELOW PAR October 9 marked the date of the second program, which consisted of a reading by Loretta Rice, a dance by William Schmasow and LaVern Rosenow, and a one act play, Below Par.

A selected group of stu- dents from the band played popular pieces, the Girls' Glee Club made their first presen- tation, and Alice Rchberg gave a declamation. Because this was very close to Hallowe'en, Evelyn Noth told of some of the tra- ditions of Hallowe'en, and then came the major part of the program, a one act play put on by the Dramatic Club. The name was The Ghost Story , by Booth Tarking- ton. The cast was as follows: George - - - - John Bell Ann Irene Comiskey Mary Wilda Becker Grace Evelyn Schroeder Lennie Winifred Humbolt Tom - Cecil Walcup Floyd - Fred Biebel Lynn Edwin Fenske Fred - - - Arthur Janke The assistant director was Edna Sowleg stage manager, Charles Newling and the property manager, William Brennan. or iN Page 54 O t, HKWT Programs and Parties-Continued THANKsG1v1NG PROGRAM The seniors presented the Thanksgiving program on November 26.

The following program was given: Speeches - - Miss Barton, Coach Olson, Captain Stoddard High School Song ------- . - Assembly October 24 marked the date of another mass meeting, the aim of which was to instill pep and spirit in the students for the game with Cotter High of Vfinona the next day. The program was as follows: Alumni Speakers - - - Arnold Fick, Alice McCaul Student and Faculty Speakers ---- Mr, Nelson, Wilson Spangenberg The cheer leaders led some fine cheering which showed a marked improvement. Friday, October 31, was the day before the big event of the football season, the Tomah-Sparta game. It was necessary to have some good speakers for this game, so the mass meeting board chose Nellie Weiss and Fred Biebel from the student body, Ed- ward Sowle from the Alumni, and Mr. McKean from the faculty. The school was very much honored in having the German band, direct from Germany, play for it. I am sure that evehry one is envious of the Germans, because of their musical talent. Miss Fiedler sponsored a stunt for the occasion. At night an out-of-door mass meeting was held. The students paraded down Superior Avenue and did a snake dance to the strains of the music furnished by the high school band. The mass meeting ended with a large bonfire where we burned Spartais Goat and exhausted our lung capacity temporarily. November 20, the day before the merry-making time of the year-Carnival time. Each of the side shows was eager to advertise its show by presenting some stunt for this mass meeting. The upper grades were invited to share the enjoyment of this mass meeting.

We were asked to sign up for an Owl for T. H. S. or for no Owl. Wouldnlt it be terrible to have none? Report cards filled out fall but gradesj by students. Someone made a mis- take in printing the cards, and about one-half the students made errors in attempting to fill out the cards. Here's hoping the teachers also make a few mistakes fto the goodj in marking the grades. Enjoyed the rare pleasure of a fire drill this morning. Who could have been the clever artist who painted the 1931 on the tower in such beautiful shades of pink and green? We enjoyed a lovely assembly program in which Be- low Par, a one act play, sponsored by Miss Golosinec, was featured. Mass Meeting held for game. Game! We won from Richland Center 20-6. Quite a novel idea for the water tower's 1931', in black and green. This is the third or fourth morning we've been greeted with freshly painted num- bers. What will happen next up there?

Lord, of the Lions Club, asked as a favor, that we should make the Hallowe'en Celebration planned for October 31, a good one, with plenty of whoopee! He said the pep meeting for the Sparta game would be in connection with the Hal- lowe'en celebration. Can't wait for the Sparta game! Itls so close! The Carnival also draws nearer. Halls are decorated with posters. Myrtle Von Haden won first place in the poster contest, and second place was given to Norma Kupper. Had grand pep meeting after supper. Dragged Sparta up and down the street, performed the customary snake dance in a good parade, and enjoyed a huge bonfire. The black witch, Sparta, was burned. Won 12-0. fDon't ask from whom.j Some game! This morning after the passing of classes, it was discovered that the Agri- culture Class was left standing in the hall, Mr. Hegre not yet having un- locked the door to his classroom. Everyone was quite puzzled and undecided as to whether to remain wating in the hall or go back to the assembly. Mr. McKean was consulted, but Mr. Hegre himself solved the problem by tear- ing in just Hve minutes late, rubbing the sand out of his eyes, straightening his tie, and in general trying to awaken himself. Juniors held citizenship meeting in the gym. Three dogs gave us quite a merry chase up and down the halls, trying to visit all the rooms. After a struggle, two stalwart lads, Ted Sorenson and Cecil Walcup, managed to place the dogs on the correct side of the school house door. Sophomores held citizenship meeting in the gym. By the sound of things they had a band, singing, cheering, and everything to pep them up. Senior class rings arrived. All Seniors are taking hasty trips to the jewelers.

Sophomores received first prize for hall decorations. The air all day felt charged with excitement and speed. The clock is even more rattled than usual and rings whenever it pleases as long as it pleases. Mr. James and Mr. McKean have tried to prove to us throughout the past month that they have enough knowledge of electricity to nurse the clock back to a state of ringing the gong at the right time, but it is our opinion that an electrician should be called.

How good it seems to talk with their old school-mates again. We, too, shall listen to their interesting conversations. Oh, say! Did you hear George Caldwell announce over Station WGN last night? He surely is an excellent radio announcer. Where is Edwin Fenske now? Does anybody know? Yes, he is our ambassador to England, and have you heard that Harry Gilner, Arnold Fabian, and La Vern Hill have just returned from a tour around the world? Has any one read that new western novel that Evelyn johnson wrote? It cer- tainly contains all the thrills and love elements that a good story needs. Where is Amy Beardsley now? I saw her a few weeks ago, and she is still teaching. She informed me that Mary Forester, Arlene Mahoney, La Vern Perry, Mary Wyman, Genevieve Von Haden, Ruby Stellings, Ella Purdy, Dorothy Purdy, Margaret La Vaughn, and La Vina Murphy are teaching in different schools throughout the statef, The last time I heard of Flink Henry was when he was trying to sell Ford cars in Tunnel City. Where is he now? Flink? Oh, he and Virginia Ranney are living in Chicago now, and he runs a large Ice Cream Company there. Speaking of Tunnel City-that reminds me, Le Roy Snowberry and Zora Senogles are living on a farm not far from theref' Marjorie Miller has been teaching Gym at La Crosse, but now she seems to be teaching Spang, and they are living in Milwaukee. Where is Al Hovey, our basket-ball captain? Haven't you heard? He is our most famous player on the Wisconsin team this year. Arthur Erdman, Miles Gerke, Martin Hueler, Wilford Humbolt, Lester Prielipp, Alvin Kamrath, and Lester Klemme are all very remarkable and successful farmers in the state of Wisconsin. Where is Robert Wright working now, I wonder? He and Leona are living on a large farm in Minnesota. Yes, I had heard that, but I was surprised to find that Mora Dickinson, Harold Nienast, and Ted Olson are extras at Hollywood. What is Wayne Johnson doing now? Oh, he is a remarkable forest ranger in Montana. I saw Harold Neitzel a few days ago. He is Superintendent of a High School in Iowa. Of course you all know Orville Malde is a noted doctor. Irvin Reetz is the manager of a large office in Madison. Some girls working there whom we know are: Clara Eldrick, Jennie Kantz, Nona Lamb, Dorothy Larson, and Leona Lord.', i'N0na Neuendorf, Muriel Porter, Irene Rasch, Ruth Reisenauer, and Ethelyn Vin- cenz are stenographers at Madison, and Ted Sorenson, Miles Vandervort, Bob Johnson, Harold Merow, and Douglas Tralmer are now famous aviators.

FTER a careful consideration of voices, Miss Johnsen chose fourteen boys as mem- bers of the Boys' Glee Club. After consistent practice the club was able to show its ability, by appearing before the faculty and student body at various mass meetings and programs. Since the organization of this club in High School, it has come to be known as one of the outstanding musical organizations in High School. The club was introduced in 1909. The boys have looked forward each week for the sixth period on Fridays when the rehearsals were held. X . Page 66 s HAMOT Third row: N. VVeiss, L. XVilson, R. VYilson, V. johnson, R. Comiskey, A.

Skilled training and faithful practice has developed a fine chorus. The Glee Club has made public appearances. ln the Spring of 1930 the club entered the La Crosse contest and was a part of the large chorus there present. They also sang at various high school and city programs, as well as at the 1930 Commence- ment. Without doubt the outstanding performance in 1931 will be the presentation be- fore National Music Week, May 4 to 8, in charge of Miss Johnsen, who has proved to be a director of ability. 4 A special trio, composed of Evelyn Schroeder, Vera Hedding, and Dolores Reisen- auer, was selected from the Glee Club.

Three years ago when Mr. Hegre came to Tomah High, he felt the need of a band. He organized one, and since then We have all felt the pep and vigor it instilled into our mass meetings, parades, and various programs. Q In 1929 and 1930, the Tomah High School Band joined the city band to form the American Legion Band. Fourteen of the members who play in the band went to La Crosse in the Spring of 1930. Here they competed with members of other various bands. This gave them much valuable experience. Page 68 1HAM0T e Tlzirfl Row: A. Jzmke, A. Kohl, Ii. Biebel, T. I.:1mlw, A. Schmidt. IT.

The present orchestra was organized under the direction of Miss Johnsen. Miss Johnsen was not acquainted with our orchestra of last year, but she has made a delightful success for the past year. The orchestra proved its ability when playing for the Carnival and several other public activities which have been held during the past year, In the Spring of 1930, a few of the members went to La Crosse to compete with other schools in the annual music festival. X Pugi' 0-7 ' A t lHAMOT' JA, I ,shi ' Basket-Ball l4 f'M4' A ITHIN two weeks after a successful football season, the call for baskg was sent out and responded to by 50 boys. We have excellent prospects for good team with 5 Letter-men, Glenn Henry, Le Roy Hansen, Roy Oake Wilson Spangenberg, and Al Hovey, back from last year and a few boys who have ability and a great deal of experience from last year's season. Practice was rapidly under way, and the fellows had to show their ability to sure they would be left on the squad when the cut was made. Our first game was withlg-f the Alumni December 4. There was no captain elected last year. Mr. Olson thought it best to appoint one for each gameg each player would have a chance to show his ability in leading the teamf Then if we got a chance to play in the tournament at Sparta the Captain would be elected by the players 'before they went. Al Hovey was elected to act as Captain in the District Tournament games. TOMAH 24-ALUMNI 32 The defenders of the white and gold met their first defeat of the season in a game against a team that seemed like gaints beside our boys. All the alumni players were six footers and former basket-ball stars in high school. The season is beginning like the football seasong let us hope it will end like that season did. TOMAH 25-ALUMNI 22 December 11 Tomah played the Alumni again and reversed the tables on them in an exciting contest. Our boys are improving rapidly under Mr. Olson,s coaching and made an interesting game for the spectators. Most of the game the score was so even that the audience was held in suspense until the whistle blew. X Page 70 HAMOBT Basket-Ball-Continued TOMAH 39-AQUINAS 13 N December 18 the Aquinas team of La Crosse came here. The game showed the Tomah team as promising to be of championship caliber. The boys had an eye for the loop that night and piled the baskets one on top of the other. We havenlt played any conference games yet. The next game will be our first. TOMAH 13-REEDSBURG 11 The boys traveled to Reedsburg January 9 to bring home a victory that counted for our first conference game. Tomah was unable to make their shots good, with the result that the score was close all the way. The first half ended wlith the teams tied, 4 to 4, and the third quarter ended with Reedsburg one point in the lead. When Hansen and Hovey started making baskets the score went up 13 to 8 in our favor. Reedsburg made three more points in the last minute of the game, making the score 13 to 11. We didn't win by much of a margin, but the boys are improving rapidly, and we can look for a still better game next time. TOMAH 19-LOGAN 18 Tomah defeated the La Crosse Logan team in the most thrilling game ever played on the gym floor. Both teams opened with a beautiful exhibition of passing, faking, and pivoting, but Logan took the lead, 8 to 2, at the end of the first quarter. Tomah did better the second quarter, but Logan had the lead at the half, 10 to 12. The last half was still more exciting than the first. The score was tied two or three times, and then Logan would break ahead and lead with a point or two. The game ended a tie, so the teams played a three minute over-time period, and neither team scored. Then each player on the two teams was given one free throw. Logan made 2 out of 5, and Hovey, Spangenberg, and Hansen made theirs, winning the game for us, 19 to 18. TOMAH 23-SPARTA 6 I Tomah scored another conference victory Friday, January 23, from Sparta. It has been a long time since Sparta has won from Tomah in 'basket-ball, Sparta always puts up a good fight with Tomah, but they were unable to do much to the Tomah defense that night. Spang and Hansen were the stars, making 8 points each. TOMAH 20-BARABOO 17 Before one of the largest crowds in the history of basket-ball, the boys defeated Baraboo 20-17. ln spite of Baraboo's consistent playing, the team emerged victorious and still led the conference. Our team made a couple of baskets before Baraboo woke up to their fighting spirit. However,'at the end of the half the score was tied at eight points. The second half was nip and tuck all the way until 3 successful baskets in the last quarter by Henry put Tomah in the lead. N . Page 71 HAMOT Basket-Ball-Continued TOMAI-I 29-REEDSBURG 15 February 6 Tomah played Reedsburg. Although the score was one-sided, the game was exciting and close up to the end of the half. Tomah made most of their points in the last half, as usual, Spang did not play much of the game, because of aniinjured foot. Hansen and Oakes were our stars in this game. - TOMAH 17-BARABOO 19 Our Team on Friday journeyed to meet their first defeat of the season. The game was full of thrills and anxious moments, as the score was tied most of the time. The first half ended 8-8. When there were only 30 seconds left to play, and Tomah was in the lead by one point, misfortune placed a foul on one of our boys, and Baraboo tied the final score. In the first over-time period neither side scored. In the'second over-time there was no scoring for two minutes, then Spang shot a pass to Henry and he dropped it in. It looked like the game was over, and Tomah began to stall. A Tomah player travelled while making another basket. Baraboo got the ball, shot, and tied the score, 17 all. Baraboo blocked another pass and shot another basket five seconds 'before one of the best games of the year ended. , TOMAH 17-AQUINAS 8 The boys went to La Crosse and defeated Aquinas February 20. With the ab- sence of Henry and Spang, they found a little difficulty in taking the lead. At the end of the first quarter Aquinas led, 2-1. By the end of the half, Tomah had begun to play, and the score crept up to 6-3, with Tomah in the lead. In the last half Tomah stepped out, making the final score 17-8. TOMAH 26-SPARTA 6 On February 27 Tomah won their sixth victory out of seven games and were still in the lead for the championship. Tomah,s reorganized team with Potter and Skid- more as forwards, Oakes at center, and Hovey and Hansen at guards, clicked in fine shape. It seemed impossible for Sparta to have their hands on the ball much of the time. TOMAH 8-LOGAN 14 The Logan game was a very tight defensive one. Tomahg ledat the half, 6--5, and at the end of the quarter, 8-7. In the last quarter Logan mergediahead 10-8, with three minutes left to play. The remainder of the game they stalled and broke through for two more baskets, making the score 14-8 when the game ended. Tomah seemed off its usual stride in this game and couldn't hit the basket. Our team, however, was handicapped by the illness of Hansen. This game ended the conference schedule, with Tomah and Baraboo tied for first place.

With Al Hovey as the newly elected Captain, the team won by a margin of 15 points. At the end of the first half the score was tied, 7'-7. In the fourth quarter Tomah stepped out, making the final score of the first district game 24-9. Camp was only able to make one basket during the last quarter. TOMAH 15-SPARTA 11 On Friday, March 13, Tomah again met their old rival, Sparta. This was one of the hardest games of the tournament. It was an even-up battle for the first three periods of the game. At the end of each period Sparta was ahead one point. In the fourth period Tomah went ahead, taking the lead on a basket by Oakes. Hovey fol- lowed with another basket, making the score 15-11 when the game ended. TOMAH 14-ONALASKA 10 And now to end the last successful game of the district tournament for Tomah. The 'boys played a careful game with Onalaska. With the same boys starting as in the previous games, the game was tied at the end of the first quarter. Oakes was taken out in order that he might be given orders how to guard Reik, the Onalaska center, and was placed in the game again after a few minutes. The half ended 7-5 with Onalaska or1 the short end of the board. They worked up enough energy to tie the score at the third quarter, but Tomah,s reserve power again came to the fore and won the game. The final score was 14-10, making Tomah District Champions and giving them a chance to take part in the state tournament at Madison. Oakes at center, Potter at forward, and I'Iovey and Spangenberg at guard were all placed on the honorary all-tournament team. X Page 73 HAMOT Basket-Ball-Continued THE STATE TOURNAMENT HE State Basket-ball Tournament was held in the new University of Wisconsin Field House at Madison on March 25-28. As a result of its victory at Sparta, Tomah represented the Central Western District of Wisconsin, compet- ing with fifteen other district winners: namely, Antigo, Beloit, Blair, Cumber- land, Madison Central, Marshfield, Neenah, Oconto, Platteville, Racine Washington, Ripon, Superior, Watertown, Wisconsin High of Madison, and Wisconsin Rapids. TOMAH 18-CUMBERLAND 22 In the first game Tomah met Cumberland, a rangy team from Northern Wisconsin. Cumberland started out with a startling shower of successful long shots while Tomah was unable to sink even the easiest tries, with the result that Cumberland was ahead 15-4 the first half. The second half the team made a remarkable comeback and, but for some more hard luck on shots, would have won out, but it wasn't in the books, and Tomah lost by the score of 22-18. TOMAH 17-BLAIR 16 The next day Tomah and Blair played in the consolations round. Blair had the largest team in the tournament and a record of seventeen straight wins. Again Tomah had difficulty hitting the basket and were behind most of the game. The usual last period comeback brought the score from 16 to 10 in Blair's favor at the middle of the fourth quarter to 17-16 in Tomah's favor at the end.of the game. TOMAH 20-BELOIT 26 On Friday Tomah met Beloit, the team that had been the advance favorite for the state title. Beloit lost in its first game to Wisconsin High 17-14, the team that won the championship. Against Tomah their six feet four inch center 'lgot goingv for the first time in the tournament and made seven baskets, most of them on fine rebound work. Tomah, however, gave Beloit a battle all the way and was always dan- gerous. The half ended 11-10 and the game 26-20. The state tournament was one of the 'best and closest that has ever been held. The eight games on the first day were all decided on margins of 1-5 points, with all teams showing a better brand of basket-ball than in former years. Tomah's showing, considering the class of competition, can be considered very creditable. Of the eight boys who played in the tournament, Alfred Hovey, Wilson Spangenberg, Roy Oakes, Harold Ziegler, George Lord, Le Roy Hansen, Bennett Potter, and Howard Skidmore, all will be back next year except Al and Spang. Their playing was largely responsible for the successful team this year but, looking ahead, we can't help but feel that we have prospects for another good team in 1932. X . X I Page 74 HAMOT I Basket-Ball Summary 1931,' HE Tomah Basketeers and fans can look back pleasantly upon the successful sea- son they enjoyed. In the total of sixteen games played during the season, includ- ing the district and state meets, Tomah finished with twelve victories and four defeats in the best of competition. A high standard of sportsmanship was also retained, with clean play outstanding, there was nothing to be regretted at the close of the season. Tomah's team received many compliments from various opponents for clean play and sportsmanship, and that alone makes the season successful and worthwhile. There were eleven boys who played in various games. A short summary of each follows, giving their name, class, position, height, and individual characteristics: ALFRED HOVEY-Senior guard, 5 ft. 11 in., elected captain prior to the dis- trict tournament-very good defensive player, especially at covering two men--good on the offense also, averaging two baskets per game from his guard position-elected as guard on the all-district tournament team at Sparta. WILSON SPANGENBERG-Senior-forward and guard, S ft. 9 in., always a colorful player-member of team for three years-his play was marked by aggressiveness and speed-selected as guard on the all-district team. GLENN HENRY-Senior center-6 ft. 2 in.-played during the Hrst part of the year during which he was high scorer-outstanding on tip-in shots under the basket. ROY OAKES-junior guard and center-6 ft. 1 in.-played guard at first and center in latter part of the season-was high scorer in district meet and state meet- selected on the all-district team at center. LE ROY I-IANSEN-Junior forward and guard-5 ft. 8 in.-his district tourna- ment hard luck was with him again, for he didn't play because of illness-high point man for the season-play marked by cleverness and consistency, BENNETT POTTER-Junior forward-S ft. 9 in.-developed into one of the cleverest and coolest players on the team-play marked by his deceptive ball-handling and all-around work-selected as forward on the all-district team. HOWARD SKIDMORE-Sophomore forward-S ft. 7 in.-consistent work was Skid's distinguishing trait-a good team player-made his letter for the first time. HAROLD ZIEGLER-Junior center-6 ft.-was in several games at center-- probably one of the best rebound players on the team-Will be one of the best scorers next year. JOHN BELL-Junior guard-S ft. 9 in.-played in several games at guard-one of the hardest workers on the squad-play marked by grit and head-worzk. GEORGE LORD-Junior guard-5 ft, 8 in.-developed into a consistent guard- member of district and state tournament squad-a hard worker who should do things next year. DEWEL WALTERS-Sophomore forward- up and coming, played forward against Sparta-floorwork marked by aggressiveness and cleverness in handling the ball -a good prospect for next year. Of these eleven boys eight will be back next year, five of whom are letter-men. With eight boys as a nucleus, prospects for a good team are quite promising. CAPTAIN'S MESSAGE Following Tomah,s successful football season came the season of 'basket-ball. The Tomah squad this year was a squad that worked together in trying to accomplish suc- cess. I am sure the squad next year will be a squad that will do the same. The prospects for next year are very good, because there are some of Tomah's old veterans back fighting for Tomah High, and there are Freshmen and Sophomores who I am sure will be a success. This year's season will never be forgotten, have next year's season one that will also be remembered. I wish the basket-ball team of 1932 great success, and I hope they will be a team that can't be beaten. Make your goal for next year the State Championship. -ALFRED HOVEY X Page 75 HAMOT Second Raw: C. Newlin, R, .Xller, F. Bielmcl, C. Berg, I.. Daly. First Row: W. Brennan, INI.

Debate ESOLVED: that the present chain store system is detrimental to the best inter- ests of the American peoplef' was the question selected by the Wisconsin Foren- sic Association for the high school debating societies this year. It proved an in- teresting question from either the negative or the affirmative angle, and one in which the students found much practical value. Everyone knew that chain stores ex- isted, and everyone had a general idea that the chain store prices were lowerg but, other than that, no one had thought seriously about the economic principles involved or of the detrimental tendencies of chain store distribution. The general interest in the question and the abundance of reference material induced a large number of stu- dents to study more thoroughly the good and bad effects of this type of merchandising. In the tryouts held a short time before Christmas, forty-five students appeared and presented short, Well prepared speeches. This large number of people participating in debating indicated that the students had realized completely the advice of Alexander Mukeljohn, former president of Amherst College, in speaking of the value of various student activities when he said, We dare not fail to take account of the constantly re- peated statement of graduates that they count certain 'activities' as having been of far greater educational value than the studies given and taken in the classroom. I am sure that this statement contains more of falsity than truth. But there is truth in it. As I look back on my own experience of teaching and disciplining, I seem to see that clearly when I try to single out what these graduates mean. I see it more when I try to select from the long line of students some one group which shall stand forth as in- tellectually the best-best in school work and best in promise of future intellectual achievement. Much as I would like to do so, I cannot draw the line around my favorite students in philosophy, nor the leaders in mathematics, nor those successful in biology, nor could I fairly award the palm to the Phi Beta Kappa men who have excelled in all their subjects. It seems to me that stronger than any group, tougher in intellectual hber, keener in intellectual interest, better equipped to battle with Coming problems, are the debaters-the student who, apart from their regular studies, 'band themselves together for intellectual controversy with each other and with their friends in neigh- boring schools. X Page 76 HAMOT gm Debate-Continued From this unusually large group of people interested in securing a position on the squad, twelve people were selected: two Seniors, Frances Gerke and Mary-Van Emang two Juniors, Richard Aller and Donald Rice, two Freshmen, Carl Berg and Leland Daly, and six Sophomores, Nellie Weiss, Gretchen Kelpe, Fern Barber, William Brennan, Fred Biebel, and Charles Newlin. The first debate in the South Central Conference, and also the first district match, was a duel encounter with Baraboo, January 20. The Tomah affirmative team, com- posed of Gretchen, Nellie, and Fern, journeyed to Baraboo and were narrowly defeated by the negative team of that city, coached by Alice McCaul, a former graduate and debater of Tomah High School. The next afternoon Baraboo's affirmative met defeat at the hands of our negative speakers, Dick, Frances, and Charles. Thus, Tomah and Baraboo divided the spoils of their first round in the South Central Conference, with Baraboo gaining the advantage on points. On Saturday afternoon, January 31, a debate was arranged with the Deerfield teams, who were passing through Tomah on their way home from a debate tour. This was a non-conference engagement, so our teams welcomed the opportunity of present- ing their arguments before the second district debate. The judges for the Tomah- Deerfield argument were Reverend Davis, Edward Sowle, Miss McGlachlin, Francis Clark, Miss McCluskey, and Mrs. Birkenmeyer. In both debates the decisions favored the negative teams. Notwithstanding two defeats, the affirmative plunged enthusi- astically into the Melrose contest and were rewarded with a favorable decision. The negative met their first and only crushing defeat of the season at Melrose. The debate was held February S at the La Crosse State Teachers' College. This division of spoils placed Tomah in a doubtful position for continuing in the next round of district de- bates. The ranking of the schools after the second round of the district debates was as follows: 1. Baraboo, 2. Viroquag 3. Tomah, 4. Melrose and Arcadia, 5. Galesville. Having lost out on points in the district contests, the teams strove valiantly to make a favorable record in the final round of the South Central Conference. The Portage-Tomah clash held on Lincoln's Birthday was a lucky day for Tomah, the judges in both debates granted Tomah the decision, and thus furnished a fitting climax to the 1930-31 debate season. The debaters and the coach are deeply grateful to all those who so kindly gave advice and suggestions in the preparation of the speeches. We are especially thankful to Miss McGlachlin for her untiring efforts in helping construct the cases and in mak- ing them grammatically correct. Also, we feel we owe a debt of gratitude to Miss McCluskey, who willingly cooperated in coaching two members of the squad on de- livery, and for her services as judge in many of the numerous clashes. We also wish to thank Miss Golosinec for her kindness in giving aid to several students in presentation of speeches, and in otherwise helping to make the debate work successful.

The Hamot went to press before the final eliminations were held, so the school's representatives in the Triangular meet can not be listed here. Orators have always been greatly admired, and the students who have been ambitious have had excellent opportunities to cultivate the art of oratory. A great deal of time is spent on an oration before it is given. ' It must be memorized, and thought and care must be put on the delivery. In the elimination held on April 8, the following won places: RICHARD ALLER FRANCES GERKE EDWIN FENSKE DONALD RICE NELLIE WEISS A declamation differs greatly from an oration. A declaimer can put more express- ion into the story and must be a better actor. Declamations are more interesting to listen to, because the speaker tells you a story and can appeal to a dramatic sense in you. Out of the large number of contestants, winners in the elimination on April 9 were: WILDA BECKER DOROTHY FRANZ IRENE COMISKEY MARIE PELZ DORIS WARRINER Extemporaneous Speaking and Reading More students go out for extemporaneous reading than for the other contests. They enter this contest because there is not so much preparation required beforehand. An extemporaneous reader has a hard task. He must put expression into the words he is reading and yet not overdo itg he must make smooth transitions from one charac- ter to another, so the listener can easily follow him, and many other little points must be Watched. Only the results of the first contest, April 8, can be recorded in our annual as follows: FERN BARBER FRANCES GERKE DOROTHY FRANZ DORIS WARRINER MARION WELLS We admire the orator, but an extemporaneous speaker is to be envied. He must be prepared on any topic of current interest, for in the contest he does not know what subject he will draw. After he has selected a topic, he has just one hour to spend in Writing and preparing his speech. The people who know what is going on in the world and who can give well prepared speeches, as shown in the judge,s decision April 8, were: RICHARD ALLER ALTA PARKER FERN BARBER MARY VAN EMAN VERA HEDDING IRIS WAGNER CHARLES NEWLIN H NELLIE WEISS The number in the above contests will be decreased until, finally, only the people who will enter the next contest are left in the group. Tomah's representatives arc scheduled to meet the other schools in the Triangular Meet on April 25. If all goes well there, they will enter the finals for the La Crosse district on May 2. X Q Page 78 HAMOT E The Diabolical Circle HE Diabolical Circle is the play that Tomah chose to put on as their mid-year play, and the one with which they entered the contest put on by the Wisconsin Dramatic Guild. It is an historical comedy in one act. It requires a cast of four characters, three boys and one girl. The play is the story of a young girl who lives with her elderly father. The father wants her to marry a certain young man who is all that modesty, as well as business, demands. Betty, the daughter, is really in love with Charles, a supposedly shiftless young lad. Her father is very much opposed to Charles. Through a clever plot, the father becomes reconciled and all ends happily. Two casts were chosen-one from the Dramatic Club and one from the entire school. They presented the play in the High School auditorium on the evening of Feb- ruary 17. The players were: Dramatic Club Cast Entire School Betty Vera Hedding Doris Burns Cotton Mather Ted Olson Glen Stoddard Adonijah Fred Biebel Ellsworth Hovey Charles Raymond Knick Wilford Humbolt The people chosen for the final cast to compete in the Eau Claire district contest at Baraboo were: Doris Burns, Ted Olson, Ellsworth Hovey, and Raymond Knick. The coaches for this play were Miss Barton and Miss Golosinec. In the contest at Baraboo, Tomah won third place. Baraboo won first place. The other schools competing in this contest were Mauston and Reedsburg.

Page 80 HAMOT Programs and Parties-Continued JUNIOR PARTY After the Tomah basket-ball team won a hard fought battle with Baraboo on January 30, the Juniors spent the remainder of the evening helping the two schools get acquainted. The Class of ,32 gave an all-school party for the students of Tomali High School, Baraboo High School, and Camp Douglas High School. This party proved to be quite a mixer, and all the guests seemed to enjoy the eve- ning of dancing. SEA PROGRAM A program of the sea, at which Arnold Kohl was chairman, was presented on Feb- ruary 2. This program helped to enlighten the students on the characteristics of the sea. The following numbers were given: Vagabond Dreams Come True - Jane Smith, Francis White Charles Nuzum, George Lord An Original Sea Story - ---- Doris Browne A Trip On The Great Lakes ---- Miss Ekstrom Sailor's Dance ---- Dolores Reisenauer, Catherine Scheurich, Catherine Sullivan, Gladys Smith, Mary Denver Illustrated Talk-Products of the Sea ----- Mary Stebens Reading from a Sea Story - Marvel Drought Poems about the Sea - Doris Warriner Bella Napoli - - - Girls' Glee Club HI-Y PARTY The boys of the Hi-Y gave an all-school party February 7.

This banquet was served by the members of the Home Economics Club, sponsored by Miss Kuhefuss. About forty persons were present at the banquet. Each member of the club invited her mother. In case their mothers could not come, they invited someone else to take her place for that night. The tables were decorated in a variety of soft-toned colors. These colors were pink, lavender, blue, green, yellow, and white. The large table was decorated with a 'bouquet of sweet peas, given by Miss Kuhefuss' mother. The two smaller tables were decorated with roses. The program of the evening was as follows: Song to the tune of Old Hundred, by the guests, Mother's Way, read by Lillian Carver, Toast to our Mothers, by Gretch- en Kelpeg Toast to the Daughters, by Mrs. Rehbergg Mother Machree, by Dorothy and Florence Franz, song by allg reading from Rehbergg poem, Little Girls, read by Merna Day sun g by all. The Girls' Athletic Association gave a boy- the G. A. A. There were old-fashioned dances BOY AND GIRL PARTY cats, and fox trots. The judges spent considerable time trying to awarded.

IRISH PROGRAM One of the most amusing of all the assembly programs was given March 19. This was an Irish program. We are all certain of the Irish talent after they presented these numbers: Selection - - - ----- Orchestra Origin of St. Patrick's Day Dorothy Kelly Irish Jokes - - - Richard Allcr Robert Benjamin Irish Airs Evelyn Schroeder, Dolores Reisenauer, Vera Hedding Irish jig - - - - Irene Comiskey Play--Spreadin Bartley Fallon Mrs. Fallon Jack Smith Shawn Early Tim Casey James Ryan Mrs, Tarpey Mrs. Tully Jo Muldoon, a Magistrate Doris Burns g the News - - - Junior Commerce Club CAST Kenneth Knick - - Catherine Scheurich - Alfred Gabower Arthur Jerdee Orville Malde Gilbert Storkel Zona Goff - - Catherine Sullivan policeman . - Lester Tracy Cecil Walcup i X Page S: QHAMOT Winter Mass Meetings HE Girls' Athletic Association sponsored the first mass meeting in 1931. This was for the benefit of the Tomah-Logan game. The G. A. A. tumblers were especially good. This was the start of a number of peppy mass meetings for 1931. January 23 was the date of the big game with Sparta. The pep meeting that pre- ceded it was made up largely of good speakers and good cheering. Bear-Boo! Bear-Boo! Toe-mah! Toe-mah! This was one of the contests put on at the mass meeting for the Tomah-Baraboo game. The Senior Commerce students in- creased the pep at this mass meeting. A 'broadcasting of the game and a clogging num- ber were of particular interest. Do you remember the big blue covered Hamot? This was the novel way of intro- ducing the stunts for the Hamot pep meeting. We just couldn't help but want a Hamot after our Curiosities were aroused to such a high degree as this pep meeting accomplished. XVe could hardly wait to see the many novel secrets hidden between the covers of the 1931 annual. Next came tournament time. Studies lagged, and everyone seemed occupied with more important things, such as basket-ball. The pep meeting made us all feel as if we couldn't miss those games for anything. Friday, March 13, we had a surprise pep meeting for the tournament. This was an entirely new idea, and purely extemporaneous. Without a moment,s Warning, all the members of the squad, as Well as some of the faculty members, were called on to make speeches. After 'lahemsv and I thank you's were over, we had some peppy cheers. We continued our lessons with less thought as to studies and more as to the games that would soon follow. . Perhaps you Wonder who plans these mass meetings. They are not all extemporane- ous, you know. Certain members of the student body are chosen by the students, and, together with some of the faculty, they comprise a mass meeting board. This group of people arrange all of the mass meetings. This year the mass meeting board consisted of Miss Barton, Miss Fiedler, Miss Drowatzky, Frances Gerke, Doris Burns, Dick Aller, and William Brennan. 9589472 X Page 84 -HAMOT' + .

It's almost worse than standing on ice to try to stay up on our polished floors--and aren't the name plates on the doors of the class rooms stunning? Everyone is so happy and smiling today. You see we're all so glad vacation is over. Yes, indeed! Jan. 6 First debate of the season! Just between three affirmatives and three negatives. No visitors invited, so we can't tell anything about the force and magnifi- cence of our speakers yet. Jan. 7 Hamot staff met. Secret dedication of Hamot made. Jan. 9 Short mass meeting held before noon to send our basket-ball fellows off to Reedsburg with pep! Tomah won-and just-with the close score of 13 to 11. In the absence of the team, about fifty girls had a grand time in the gym. Jan. 12 Honor Society held sewing Circle to sew stage curtains. 13 Club Night. Jan. 14 Mr. McKean, in a little talk, said this was the last day of the first semester and told us to start our new year right. Jan. 15 Fire! Fire! Third period seems to be a favorite one for T.H.S. to make- believe it's burning. We wish it would choose warmer days. Have you noticed Mr. Nelson is not wearing his watch today? Well, feeling rather umagneticn and attractive,', he is undertaking several experiments involving magnets, and still painfully bearing in mind the memory of a five dollar bill that he spent last year to have his watch demagnetised after these selfsame experiences, he now carefully removes the watch before experimenting, We don't know if it's because he hasn,t any more five spots or what. Perhaps the experiments gave him some experience last year, as they are supposed to be giving us this year. Jan. 17. Our feathered friends came out toward the end of the day, fOwls, of coursej Halls were crowded with visiting heads of schools who held a meeting in Miss McCluskey's room. The G. A. A. put on a mass meeting. Those taking part in it were as follows: Nellie Weiss, Marion Wells, Dolores Reisenauer, Cath- erine Scheurich, Carrol Cassels, Irene Comiskey, Doris Burns, Vera Hedding, and Elizabeth Ackerman. The numbers were very interesting, and even the masculine members of the audience had to admit that mere girls of the G. A. Af, could put on some good stunts. The nerve racking thrill of winning a game by one little point was suffered and enjoyed this P. M. by those attending the Logan game. N . Page 85 Jan. 19 Jan. 21. Jan. 22 Jan. 23. Jan. 27. Jan. 28.

Tryouts held for the play, The Diabolical Circle. The Dramatic Club chose a cast consisting of Vera Hedding, Ted Olson, Raymond Knick, and Fred Biebel, with the Coach, Miss Barton. The All School cast was coached by Miss Golosinec and consisted of Glenn Stoddard, Doris Burns, Wilfred Hum- boldt, and Ellsworth Hovey. These casts will present the play in competition next month. Held a mass meeting--short but peppy! We did it! Yes, we did it, and came home leaving poor Sparta defeated 23-6. No small number of Tomahites crowded the gym to cheer our team on to victory. Seniors cast guiding vote for four new members of the Honor Society. Negative and affirmative teams got some actual practice today by delivering their speeches in the assembly to those who had free periods the fifth and sixth hours. Mr. McKean gave us a long talk to-day and, among other things, told us to work harder. A very good piece of advice, if nothing more. Baraboo de- feated our aflirmative debate team at Baraboo. Last reports for this semester issued. Now we can throw these old cards away fthe best thing is that they don't require signingj, and start anew to make grades to fill the fifteen blank spaces on our new cards for the last semester. The Commerce Club put on the mass meeting for the Baraboo game this afternoon. We paid Baraboo back for the defeat we suffered yesterday, by winning both the debate against their affirmative team and the game against their basket-ball men. The score was 20 to 17. Most of us decided that the ground hog didn't see his shadow-but we don't have to wait six weeks for spring, for right now the snow is as scarce as the students who are not showing symptoms of spring fever. Assembly program about the sea was enjoyed. The following people took part: Miss Ekstrom, George Lord, Francis White, Charles Nuzum, Jane Smith, Doris Warriner, Mary Stebens, Marvel Drought, Doris Burns, Cath- erine Sullivan, Catherine Scheurich, Mary Denver, Dolores Reisenauer, and Gladys Smith. Jessie Ray Taylor entertained many of us in the auditorium at 8:00 oiclock. This morning Jessie Ray Taylor talked to the assembly and gave a reading. She stressed the value of public speaking and advised us to start training in school or it would be difficult to learn. Mass meeting for Reedsburg game. We won, 29-15. The school clock being fifty seconds fast, there were about twenty students late this morning. Clubs enjoyed club meetings in the line of valentine parties. N 2 Page 86 r HAMOT Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb.

Two of the remaining hours were spent to the best advantage in a debate with Portage in which we won C ! J, one hour was dedicated to a program for Lincoln's 'birthday by the Juniors, and, to account for the fourth hour, we were dismissed early! Our negative debate team, which spent the day at Portage, also brought home victory. fHurrah for Tomah!j We shall hereafter sincerely believe that Friday the thirteenth is an unlucky day for Tomah, for we played our first losing basket-ball game, giving Bara- boo the victory by two free throws--19 to 17. A boy and girl party of G. A. A. girls was heaps of funn, and attendance was large. To recognize some of the handsome boys and funny girls was an ingenious task. Today invitations to the Honor Society thrilled four Seniors: Doris Burns, Marvel Drought, Ellsworth Hovey, and Evelyn Noth. The Diabolical Circle was shown in the auditorium. The final cast formed from the best players consisted of Ted Olson, Doris Burns, Ellsworth Hovey, and Ray Knick. The new cast presented the Diabolical Circle. Oratorical and Declamatory work was started. The girls' basket-ball teams played the final game to decide the championship. Seniors beat the Juniors 15 t0 13. The Diabolical Circle brought home third place in a sectional contest held at Baraboo, Reedsburg and Mauston also competed. The Washington Program given by the Sophomores was an enjoyable one. One of the favorable qualities of it was the fact that almost half the Sophomores partook in the entertainment. Gowns and Caps for the Seniors, Commencement night? That was the ques- tion. Vote revealed the fact that over half of the Seniors wished to cling to the old custom of new dresses and suits. Fire drill is really becoming quite an ordinary occurrence. Third period was chosen this time to cool us off. Real peppy mass meeting held. Why so peppy? Because it was for the Sparta game! Our fellows happily succeeded to mount a score of 26-6 in favor of Tomah. QI-Iurrah for our side!j When we see the cake the winners of the Hamot mass meeting are to get, we wish we could all be in stunts. Miss Schuelke was the one whose orig- i-nality received first place. Doris Nelson, Elizabeth Chase, Dolores Reisen- auer, Evelyn Schroeder, Vera Hedding, and Jane Smith were the characters in it. They were extremely popular while the cake lasted. i X 1 Page S7 Mar.

Mr. McKean again reminded us to hurry a little more going to and from classes. We wonder why we aren't served catsup, or a remedy for spring fever? Report cards issued today. We wish we could imitate our parent's writing better. The basket-ball team went to Logan. We wish them luck. The Seniors tried giving campaign speeches by telegraph during history classes-they were to vote on class invitations. Drudgery! Terrible! The idea of making us get up five minutes earlier! At the tournament mass meeting this morning we heard speeches from Mr. Olson and an imitation Mr. Olson. One sounded quite like the other. Mr, McKean also told us how to save pennies, as he has for fifteen years or so. Studying is the farthest from our thoughts this morning. We can't wait to get back to Sparta and watch our team win another victory. It's hard on our nervous constitutions, though, when the games are too close. After the exhibition this morning in the mass meeting, we all agree that our team didn't miss its calling-it is not composed of Orators. We knew all the time our team was far superior-we were just pretending to be a little scared during the game the other night. However, Sparta seems to have given most pupils a cold, or was it just reaction from Saturday night? Anyway, there's 36 absent. Today we were supposed to have a program, but didn't. I suppose that is just another example of Irish humor. It is a good thing Physics teachers are contortionists. Mr. Nelson nearly stood on his head to illustrate a right hand rulef' Irish program today. We believe the Irish must be a wonderful nationality-- it was, in our humble opinion, the best program of the year. Seniors are minus most of their finger nails today.

X Page .88 I HAMOT Anne's Birthday HOSPITAL is not the most cheerful place on earth, especially when it is your birthday. People who have spent days, weeks, or months, lying helpless on their beds, will agree to this. No other place is the home of so much misery and pain, hope and despair, as the hospital. Nowhere on all the face of the earth, however, can be found in such great num- bers, those women who are always ready and willing to help those in need. Day and night these nurses are willing to bring cheer and comfort to their suffering and disheart- ened patients, But this desire to bring relief to those unfortunate people lying in hospitals, is not limited to those in charge of the sick, but relatives and friends alike show love and friendship by frequent visits, and gifts of flowers or fruit. It was such an errand of love and friendship that brought two young girls to Mercy Hospital. Silently Louise and Marie looked about the ward to find the bed of their friend and fellow club member, Eleanor. Barely a week ago Eleanor had attended the meeting and given her share to the fun of the evening. The ward was filled, but at last they saw their friend. 'KI-Iello girls! Hello, Eleanor, how's the girl?', I'm fine. 1,11 be out in a week. What pretty flowers! Thanks very much! And so the conversation went on in a hushed tone. While smiling at a joke, Marie looked over to the next bed. I-Ier eyes were met by another pair of blue eyes, and the owner's face smiled too. A new patient, said Eleanor, Nappendicitis case, was operated todayf, She looks sad, remarked Marie. No wonderf, answered Eleanor, tomorrow is her birthday, and instead of having presents and a party, as her mother had promised her, she is here. I wouldn't care if only I had my dolly, said the child, but we had to go in a hurry, and mother said to me that this was no place for dolls. Marie smiled sadly. She could sympathize with the little girl. If there were any toys which had been dear to her heart, it was her own large family of dolls. Even today she thought back to those days when she had played with Emily, Ruth, Margaret, and that colored doll, Tim. How dearly she had loved them! But Marie was a freshman in high school now, and the time for playing with dolls was past. One by one, Tim, Margaret, Ruth, and the half dozen or so, that had never had names, had departed to new homes. Some little friends of Marie had been made happy. Emily alone remained. Emily had quite a bit of history. Her body came from Oregon from a brother who Marie had not seen for many years. Then there were Emily's clothes. Every piece had a bit of history connected with it. There was the pink dress that she wore when she took the prize at the County Fair. Just think, the best dressed doll in the exhibits! There was the little hat, the first that Marie had ever made. There was the pretty silk slip that Aunty had given her. Marie wondered if she would, if she could part with Emily. 'Tm really too grown up to think of dollsf, thought Marie. But there is Eleanor's grandma, she still has the doll that she played with when she was a childf, Again the little girl looked up at Marie and smiled. It seems queer, said Eleanor, this is the first time that Anne smiled today. And you are a stranger to her. This must be what they call love at first sight, said Marie. Goodbye, Anne, be real good, and if you want me to, I will come again tomorrow evening. 'Please come again, begged little Anne. X . Page 89 I ' HAMOT I Anne's Birthday-Continued Say, Louise, Marie continued when they were on their way home, I wonder if I should give Emily to little Anne. You know, little Anne is homesick for her doll. I know what it means to be homesick. I was once, and I thought I would die. I wonder if she would not get well more quickly if I gave her my doll? But then, honestly, I almost hate to think of doing it. I believe I still love that old doll. Wonder what your mother will say if you tell her,', replied Louise. Of course I could get a little doll at the five and ten and mother would dress her for me while I am at school, but she would never be nearly as pretty as Emily. That little Anne loves me and if I give her anything at all, it must be something I loVe.', It's up to you, called Louise as she ran across lots to her home. Mother, called Marie as she entered the house, what would you think if I gave Emily to a little girl at the hospital? Then she told the whole story. Of course, Emily should have a new dress. Do you think you could make one for her tomorrow? Then the other clothes should be washed and ironed, too. Would that be too much work for you? I would like to do it if it were Saturday, but I have to go to schoolf, I can do it, replied her mother, but do you really intend to give Emily to a little stranger? Don't you remember when you gave away your cat and kittens you gave them to people whom we knew and whom we visit sometimes? You may be sorry when you find that your doll is far away among strangers. I may miss herf' answered Marie, but you should have seen how the little girl looked up into my face and smiled. If I just think of that loving little smile, I shall never regret having given Emily to her. ' After Marie had gone to school, her mother got out Emily and undressed her, washed her clothes, and sewed new ones, and when Marie returned from school the doll looked as pretty as new. An entire change had also been supplied, so that the little girl could dress and undress her as soon as she had become stronger. There was just a trace of moisture in Marie's eyes when she wrapped up her doll, and two warm lips were pressed on Emily's forehead before the box was closed, but Marie was happy, knowing that her sacrifice would make Anne very happy. Louise rang the door bell. She had brought a pretty basket of fruit. I'l1 bet that girl will be happy today. lim sure she Will! When they entered the ward little Anne was sleeping. 'I must be good and sleep' the girl said to mef' she had said to Eleanor before she went to sleep. The girls placed the doll and basket near Anne and sat down to visit with Eleanor. My dolly? cried Anne when she awoke. Pressing the new doll to her heart she looked radiantly into her new friend's eyes. Then, with her own hand on the basket and the doll snuggled closely in her little arm, Anne again closed her eyes in restful sleep. That smile and the grateful look in Anne's mother's eyes sent the two girls home very, very happy. . -GRETCHEN KELPE Rishi 1 X Page 90 I HAMOT. + I J HAMOT 1,11 Hb 93 HAMOT Tomah High School Creed believe that I should at all times endeavor to show my loyalty and respect for Tomah High School wherever I may beg That I should faithfully and conscientiously do my best from day to day, That I should never shirk extra tasks, but cheerfully and 'willingly give my best to my school at all times, That I should walk in the way of honor, guarding the purity of my thoughts and deeds in order not to lower the standards of my schoolg That I should believe that my given word is binding and that I should be honorable, court- eous, and generous toward allg That I should support all school enterprises and activitiesg where possible take an active part in them, That I should cherish the traditions of my school, protect her interests, and do all in my power to promote her welfare.

Whenever you see someone crowned by success Don't fancy he won it by chance, Though he,s walking to-day on an easier way, And you cannot behold with a glance, The scars of his battle, just keep this in mind- Life's Laurels don't go to the shirk, And if you but knew his life history through, You'd know that he once had to work. Success doesn't come to the indolent hand, With busy men life is concerned, Be the man who he may, he will find on the way That its prizes all have to be earned, ' So whenever you gaze on a leader of men, Up on top where the glory is fair, You can know with his luck there was courage and pluck You can bet that he worked to get there.

The Tomah Chapter of the National Honor Society was introduced into Tomah High under the successful sponsorship of Miss Drowatzky. On December 15 the members of the Honor Society met at Miss Drowatzkyis home to enjoy a Christmas par- ty. The members of this society are to cooperate in two projects this year: first, to create a stuffed specimen li- brary in the south alcove on the second floor, and sec- ond, post prepared descriptions of the most important pic- tures found in our high school-, for the benefit of visit- ors.

The Key symbolizes leadership, initiative, and cooperation, and the Spade symbolizes industry and earnest endeavor. The wearers who are selected to be worthy of wearing the Key and Spade are selected by secret vote of the faculty. These two students also have the privilege of having their names placed upon the honor panels in the high school auditorium. Victor Reinholz, wearer of the Key for the Class of 1930, passed' it on to Jane Smith, of the Class of 1931. john Brennan, of the Class of 1930, passed Spade on to Frances Gerke of the Class of 1931. ' X Page 106 HAMOT Axfilllll' Janke Evelyn Noth Mary Stebens Mary Van Eman Scholarship Pins O encourage 'better scholarship in High School, the Honor Society awards schol- arship pins to all students who have high enough marks to get on the honor roll. The first time a pupil is on the Honor Roll, a bronze pin is awarded, and if he holds a silver pin at the end of three years in high school and he gets on the honor roll all during the fourth year, a gold pin is awarded him to keep. This system has proved to be quite satisfactory and beneficial to the high school. Education is not confined to books alone. The world, with its thousand inter- ests and occupations, is a great school, but the recorded experience and wisdom of oth- ers may be of the greatest aid and benefit to us. We can look about us today and see many who have brought the light of that intelligence which has been the guiding star of others to bear upon their own paths, and by its aid have achieved an enviable position among men. Honor lies in doing well whatever we find to clo, and the world estimates a man's abilities in accordance with his success in whatever business profession he may engage. In the class of 1931, there are four students who are worthy of the honor of hav- ing gold scholarship pins. Arthur Janke is active in all school activities. He is an active member in the musical organizations,, in athletics, and in dramatics. He is business manager of the 1931 Hamot, and was advertising manager of the 1930 Hamot, and a popular member of the student body. In addition, Arthur has been on the honor roll, and is therefore awarded a gold scholarship pin. Mary Van Eman is also an active member of the Class of '31. She has been on the debate squad during her junior and senior years in high school. She is treasurer of the G. A. A. Mary has carried several extra subjects, and she always manages to get good grades in all of them. Mary Stebens is one of the outstanding members of the Owl Staff. Mary also carries extra subjects and succeeds in everything that she sets out to do. She, too, is one of the honored members in the Class of '31 and is wearing a gold scholarship pin. Evelyn Noth has been especially energetic in her studies. No matter how long or tiresome a thing may be, Evelyn stays at it until it is thoroughly mastered. She is as- sistant secretary in the office from one o'clock until three. Evelyn is also a member of the Owl Staff. Elizabeth Chase, a member of the Teachers' Training Department, is also priv- ileged to Wear a gold scholarship pin. Elizabeth was a member of the debate squad during her junior and senior years, a member of the Hamot Staff of 1930, and a mem- ber of the Quill and Scroll. , X Page 107 IFKMCUT Teachers' Training Department Everyone likes her pep and zest, Her life is one big laughing festf, Rural Life Club, Critic and Reporter, Our Winnie is a lovable lass A favorite in this Training Class.

Track OON after the basket-ball season had ended, Coach Olson issued a call for track men, and practice was started immediately. With several lettermen back from last year, it appeared that the Tomah team of 1930 would be very strong in some events. After two weeks of practice, the inter-class track meet was held, the Seniors winning by a large margin. With the Triangular Meet at Viroqua only a short time away, the men practiced harder than ever, so that Tomah would make a good showing against Viroqua and Sparta. TRIANGULAR MEET The annual Triangular Meet was held at Viroqua on May 3. After some of the events had been finished, it appeared that there would be a hard 'battle between Tomah and Sparta for first place. Sparta finally forged ahead and was able to maintain her lead. The Tomah men winning first places were: Captain Donald Snowberry, 100 yard dash, 220 yard dash. and 440 yard dash, James Knoblauch, discus throw and shot-put, Edward Becker, javeling and Elmer Wagner, the mile. Our relay team composed of Victor Reinholz, Arthur Janke, Stanley Hyland, and Donald Snowberry, took first place in a thrilling finish. DISTRICT MEET On the following Saturday the District Meet was held at La Crosse. As ,the or- der of the district meet had been changed this year, the results of the events went down as records. One record that will be very difficult to change was made by Captain Snowberry when he ran the 440 yard dash in a little over 52 seconds. Wagner won the mile run, and Knoblauch placed first in the shot-put. Stanley Hyland took sec- ond place in the low hurdles, as well as assisting the relay team in capturing the blue ribbon. When the total points had been figured up, Sparta was in the lead, with Logan second and Tomah third. Several other schools had some very outstanding individuals. X Page II? HAMOT Relay feam: Victor Reinholz, Arthur Ianke, Stanley Ilyland, Donald Snowberry. Track-Continued CONFERENCE MEET The Conference Meet was held at Sparta on May 17. Again the Tomah squad finished in third place. Logan, however, fared better in the conference affair than she did at the district meet, and took first place, forcing Sparta to be satisfied with second honors. The other South Central Conference schools managed to win only a few places. Our consistent winners again captured their events. Other men who had taken places in the track meets during the season were: Daniel Smoke, mile, Roy Oakes, half-mileg Victor Reinholz, 440 yard dash, and Stanley Hyland, the low hurdles. STATE MEET On May 24, Coach Olson took several of our trackmen to Madison to compete for state honors in the class B events. Only two of our men were able to place, Edward Becker taking fourth place in the Javelin throw, and Donald Snowberry winning first honors in the 440 yard dash and fourth place in the 220 yard dash. Snowberry,s time, 52.9 seconds, was considerably better than the times made by either the class A or class C winners, thus making him the most outstanding high school 440 yard dash man in the state, barring none. This meet marked the close of a successful track season. Though the team, as a whole, never captured first place, there were several individuals who made some enviable records-records that will be diflicult for the coming track teams to beat. The team of 1931 will be hard hit by graduation, and some other men will have to H11 the places of our consistent winners. X Page 113 HAMOT l Junior Prom Did you ever dream of being in the Land of Rainbows? Had you attended the Junior Prom on May 23, 1930, you would have realized your dream. Upon entering the gym, the guests found rainbows to the right of them, rainbows to the left of them, and rainbows above them. The much desired pot of gold was there. too, and everyone received his share of it in the form of a rainbow dance program. In such a colorful setting, Wilson Spangenberg, Prom King, led the promenade with Helen Marshal, his Queen, followed by the class oilicers and guests. ' At the close of the promenade, the :following program was presented: The Crowning of the Rainbow Queen, Helen Marshal. A Dance of the Rainbow Fairies ---- Sophomore Girls Selections - - - - Band Members Selections ---- - - Boys, Double Quartette The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing under the realistic looking rainbows. XLQQLK i X Page II4 1HAM0T The Citizenship Cup T the close of its high school career the class of 1924 presented a Silver Loving Cup to the school as a lasting token of its regard. This Cup has been awarded each year to the class receiving the highest average in a series of interclass contests. Each class is ranked on its attendance, initiative, scholastic average, class support, and participation in ex- tra-curricular activities. Considering that the race for the Cup is evident in practically every important phase of our high school life, a spirit of friendly ri- valry has automatically arisen between the various classes. This rivalry has been the source of rapid advancement in high school activities, through splendid cooperation, a sense of clean sportsmanship, and a naturally keen desire to see the individual rise in the record list of ac- tivities. The contests are conducted by dividing the classes into two divisions: Juniors vs. Seniorsg Freshmen vs. Sophomoresg then, win- ner vs, winner. The class which has the larg- est number of points has the privilege of having its name engraved on the cup, as a symbol of good citizenship in Tomah High. The classes which have had the honor of winning this trophy so far are: Class Year Class of 25 1925 Class of 26 ,s , 1926 Class of 28 1927 Class of 28 , 1928 Class of 29 ,,,e,, 1929 Class of 30 , , 1 , 1930 These classes have had the largest number of points out of a possible one hundred. 1 X Page IIS HAMOT O Programs and Parties GERMAN PROGRAM There is one organization in high school that really has a lot of talent in it.

From beginning to end it showed evidence of careful arrangement and long practice. The feature of the evening was the tumbling team of Senior girls. The twenty girls dressed in gay colored rompers were very gay and carefree. Nothing was too hard for them to do, and they did every kind of a gymnastic stunt. The grade school, as well as the high school, took part in the demonstration and helped to make it a success. POST PROM PARTY The fifth annual post-prom party was given by the Freshmen on April 18, and was enjoyed by the student body and faculty. The program and decorations were the same as those used the night before for Junior Prom.

I am quite 'bashful-that is true, I hate like heck to ask her For when I do-she says No, no, And that is my disaster. I've asked her to the Jitney Dance, I've asked her to the Fair, I've asked her to the Football game --And almost everywhere. But to my recollection She's declined my invitations, So come to my assistance While soft and sweet I will repeat The Bashful Freshie's Prayer. -Irene Leckelt Why Worry So? Time is too short to squander In selfish discontent, Thoughts count too much to wander just keep them in restraint! It pays to save your nerve strength For better things than slight, Why worry o'er the outcome? Your teachers do it right! Your list of grief and trouble Will only half come true, And pits that loom up double Were not all meant for you. Be liberal with those worries, Don,t seize all in your way, Still better, pass around them And greet a happier day. When failure brings regretting, Then smile your way along, In frets and ills depressing, Just try a cheerier song! For after all life's measure Of blessing and of woe, Is dealt out in God's wisdom- Then, why worry so? -Doris Browne KLQQDLVQPD On the Farm Room to kick and jump and sprawl, Room to climb and room to fall, No one to find fault at all On the farm. Room to take a pleasant stroll, Pretty sure to come back whole, Traffic cops don't Vex my soul On the farm. Bossy kicks my pail of cream, I can howl and hoot and scream, Yet disturb no neighbofs dream On the farm. -Arlys May X Page 118 . HAMOT V '-1 ' fm 1. 0 1- 'M T VN '1' 'f 'T , , . 'f' -' V .

Let's hope we all received plenty of handkerchiefs for Christmas-we'll need them. There's a perfect sneezing chorus all day. March 24. Mass meeting today to send our team to Madison with confidence. It really wasn,t fair to make Al Hovey, the captain-elect of most of the games, speak, we'll bet he couldn't sleep last night worrying about it. There's one resemblance between our team and a group of movie actors- they all have theme songs. Anyway, we wish them luck. March 25. Will we ever forget the agonizing torture of waiting, breathlessly, in the main room until the next score of the Tomah--Cumberland game is put on the blackboard. It's awful! 2-8, Cumberland's ahead. 4-15, this is terrible. 8-17, we're catching up! 9-17, Yea Team! We,ve got a chance, keep up! There comes Mose4oh, boy, it's 12-18! We knew our boys wouldn't stay far behind. just three baskets. Oh, hurry! Thank goodness Mr. Stockton has his radio, but when will the next score come? 18-22 now. Still three baskets ahead and it's the fourth quar- ter. Come on Tomah! Oh, it's over! We've lost. Anyway, we bet our fellows put up a good fight. March 26. Our team played Blair today. If only the game had been 'broadcast-but it wasn't. After the game we wished still more that we could have heard it-the score was 16-17, Tomah winning! March 27. The German Club gave a program today. They won't let the Irish get more popularity-this program was wonderful. We wish we couid understand German, and nearly all who are coming back next year secret- ly resolved to take it up then. The team played Beloit this afternoon: another non-broadcast game. Our fellows put up a good fight, even if they didnit Win. 20-26. March 30. If only we didn't have so much conscience! ! We'd like to stay out of school these three days. But then, of course, our parents might have something to say about it. March 31. The Phy-Ed demonstration turned out most successfully. Every fea- ture was entertaining, but especially so was the Senior Tumbling Team. The Grand March came first, and then the children from the grades started their program. The boys' gym classes did not play their various games in vain. Next came the girls' gym classes, each presenting a dance or exercise that had been learned to perfection. Lastly, the Seniors in red, yellow, black, and green rompers tumbled. April 1. 'Tis true we were most all April Foolsv today, but it's no joke that Easter Vacation starts tomorrow to last ,til a week from today! Green Owls, issued by the Freshmen, came out. fThey were no joke, either.j This issue announced the '31 Valedietorian and Salutatorian, Mary Van Eman and jane Smith, respectively.

Miss Drowatzky is absent, due to illness. We will be glad when she gets back. And today, in second elimination, declaimers drove the judges to tears and laughter, and a few of them even induced the judges to pick them as best. The Civic Club entertainment was, as usual, well attended and most interesting. Fifty Progress Typing certificates and twenty competent typist certificates were received and awarded today. Today our speakers were culled out for the second time. The social event, Prom, took place on the eve of this memorial day. It was the Junior Night Club that entertained in a gym beautifully dec- orated in a very modernistic way. They proved themselves the best of hosts and hostesses and served delicious punch with wafers. Juniors fur- nished most of the program between dances. Sophomore helpers presented a part of the program and served the refreshments. The Freshmen entertained in last night,s setting, inviting all the school. A Musical program of quality was presented by all the musical organiza- tions this evening. The band and orchestra did its best, and the Girls' Glee Club sang a cantata. This was the unique number of the program. The Girls' Trio sang, and all other choruses took part. Owls once again, and this time the Sophs did it. An exciting and final elimination of speakers, readers, orators, and declaimers took place. It proved a hard task to boil these last talented few down to the best and second best. Report cards issued. Only one white column remains to be filled with the final and decisive marks, Triangular Forensic meet held at Sparta. Has Tomah a chance? Weill have to wait 'til our contestants get back. Some of our students went to the Musical Festival held in La Crosse today. Fish day! Vacation day! Did we ever have a good time! ! !

Seals for our reading circle diplo- mas are being issued. ' Right in turn came the Juniors with their issue of the Owl. South Central Conference Track and Forensic Meet held at Baraboo. District Track Meet held at La Crosse, Senior issue of the Owl, and it proves to concern Commencement more than anything else. Ceremonies of graduation have started-Baccalaureate sermon was held in the evening. Final exams! l The school year draws to a close. We make it a scholarly ending by spend- ing the day finishing up final exams. VC'hat a grand and glorious feeling to have them all done. Alumni Banquet was held. Class Day arrived at last. So many tasks were performed on this day. The Citizenship Cup found its rightful owner, class trees were planted. class prophecies told, gold scholarship pins awarded, and last, to top off all other affairs of the day, with its solemn, tearful, yet happy atmosphere, came Commencement.

Signed, The Staff 1931 Hamot Out Many a Hamot has been pub- lished and many more will be, but none will rank in the Hall of Fame with the Hamot of 1931. Upon issuing this Hamot, the campus, Mr. McKean's office, and even the halls were filled with ex- cited pupils. Each one was look- ing for his picture, or the wise cracks about him. The Freshman just glanced through it and thought it nice, but it seemed as if it was just a waste of money. The Sophomore gazed at the many wonder- ful things in its contents and hoped they could do equally as well when the time arrived. The Junior thought his share. He was wishing it was 1932, and saying wait Seniors, we will show you. But can you imagine the poor, heartbroken, sad Seniors. They glanced over and over this pre- cious book that would bring them so many wonderful mem- ories. They said nothing but just wept heart-breaking tears. After we have told you all this, we hope you will agree with us. Pleasant Parties Presented The first all school party was given by the Seniors. The foot- ball boys rendered a splendid se- lection from the boys' dressing room. The games which were en- joyed by everyone were Hide-Go- Seek, Red Light, Winkem, Post Ofhce, and Leap Frog. Our next party was given by he Sophomores, and everyone had wonderful time. The outstand- ing facts to be remembered were: Doris Burns stepped on Stretch Hovey's toe and smashed it, one of Sally Betcher's spike heels flew off, Clark Robertson and Evelyn Brown danced three rounds in three seconds, Mr. Nelson danced his first dance, Miss Gibson was seen winking at Mr. Olson, and Mr. McKean sang- I Can't Give You Anything But Love. The Christmas Party was one which was enjoyed by all. The following received gifts from San- ta: Martella Kupper, roller skates, Frances Gerke, stay comb, Mr. Olson, bright red sweater, Mr. Hegre, hair tonic, George Lord, a date book, Miss Barton, a bull- dog, and Ellsworth Hovey, a pre- sent which he needed, a pair of extra long stilts. Our next party was the one given by the Hi-Y Club. Pre- ceeding this was the Post Prom party given by the Freshmen, a good party and enjoyed by every- one present. , X Page 123 Y l r HAMOT Q Commencement On May 29 the outstanding, brilliant class of '31 ceased to be in the hearts of the teachers, of whom they made physical wrecks, and the townspeople, who had to stand their noise and peculiar ac- tions. Sally Fluner, the valedic- tory, and Ophelia Dumbell, the salutatory, will long be remember- ed. The class day program was opened by the class march to the stirring tune of Yes, Sir, That's My Baby . After the address of welcome, the planting of the class fruits-the goosebcrry and the cabbage-took place. A gorgeous program was given with an out- sta-nding funny class play, Caught Again , starring Gus, Flink, Chuck, and Pete. It was so good that it stirred many hearts to tears. The baccalaureate sermon delivered by QWho Cares?J on the subject, Chewing Gum Effect- ively , was appreciated by all those not present, but far from it by those present. Commencement night dawned clear and cloudy. The biggest feature of the evening was the presentation of the spade and key. LeRoy Hansen got the spade for being the best all-round hard dig- ger in his text books, and Hazel Hanson got the key which might help her to open up the heart of some young man. Diplomas were tossed and shuf- fled out by ffl. After the song, Farewell to the Seniors, the Sen- iors took a trip to their old meet- ing places, the fire escapes, where they said their parting words with tears and heartaches. After this the crowd dispersed, and the happy school days came to an ending. ,A Big Long Trip To a Little Bit of Town On January 23 all of the loyal sports of Tomah High School took a trip, with their basketball team, to that well known town of Sparta. The train left Tomah at 5:20, and what a jolly bunch aboard it. Everyone was singing, laughing and making merry. just a short time and we are all leaving the train and preparing for a mile hike, as the depot is on the out- skirts of the city. The Sparta people say that they put it there so it will be near the railroad tracks. After the hike, each group went their Way. The team went to the hotel to rest, so they could put up a good tight. The rest of us went to get something to eat, so we could stand the strain of the oncoming battle. About 7:30 we started gather- ing in groups, and we all started on our way to the fighting grounds. At about 8:20 the bag battle started. The game was off with a bang. Sparta and Tomah were both in for the old iight, but it wasn't long, and the crowd showed them they had a lot of pep too. At the end of the quar- ter Sparta was in the lead 3-2. The cirowd was yelling for all they had in them, especially Sparta. Alas! we are on for the second quarter. The score was 3-3, then 3-6 in Tomah's favor. The battle goes on with the old f'ight,.but no baskets were made. It seemed like a game for those who liked to play keep away, but it wasn't long, and Tomah had the lead for good. When the half came, the Sparta band pepped up the crowd, and it made us feel just like we wanted to get out on the floor and help the boys light. The last half wasn't as thrilling as the first, because Sparta couldn't keep up with Tomah. The game ended 23-6 in favor of Tomah. Six must be Sparta's unlucky number, too bad it was- n't 23-13 so Sparta could blame it on the number. Matters Which Are Maddening All was quiet ion the western frontj when the clang of the bell of paradise was heard. The class was at last ended. Then came the roar of the thundering herd, as everyone returned to the main room. It was different to- day. Boys were raging madly about, while girls' eyes flashed with the lightning of anger. What could have happened? This great stampede of students was astonishing! Mr. McKean, rushing from the office to the rescue, inquired of Ted Olson what was wrong. You couldn't guess, cried Ted angrily, Mrs. Krueger forgot to assign a lesson in Commerce for tomorrow, and I wanted to study tonight. Why, what will we do without our assignment?

The main show took the usual leading stand. The l'Sob Show was a story of a search for the king and queen of revelry and Sorrow. As the curtain opened Edwin Fenske, our clown, tumbled across the floor. From this' minute on all that could be heard from the audience was loud subs and a rush for the nearest hanky avail- able. In rushed the l'Newsboys,', dressed in their best clothes, throwing bunches of roses along the aisle. The next number on the pro- gram was the graceless Grecian dancers , showing their famous dance of Rome. Soon they were driven out by the noisy Russian Chorus , singing like a soviet government for all the world. The Apache Dancer then showed her swift, clever, joyful dance of Spain. Mrs. Hansen's', talk of Ireland was very slow, sullen, and sorrowful. Then, drowning her out, came the Ger- man Band , playing the l'Vulgar Bootmenf' Our next chief interest was in the graceful Dutch Dancers as they went flying about on their wooden shoes. Tony and Jocko , from Italy, told us about the life in China. Next the bright, red coats, the English Soldiers , presented a drill which they had learned dur- ing the Civil War. Shakespearean Hash, just fresh from France, was next giv- en, which was followed by a dance by our little white 'iPicka- ninnies. The show was ended by the Baby Sisters singing their slow, sad hymng then Jane Smith and Arthur Janke were crowned the king and queen of revelry and sorrow. -Books- The orders for next yearls re- store of new books have just been sent in. They' are as follows: Miss Drowatzky wants new Geometry books that have starred exercises and challenges worked out for the students. ' Miss Wirth would like a new dictionary in the ofhce.

Short and fat, slim and tall, All reach for the mirror in the hall. Before it they meet every day. Invariably this is what they say: Oh girls, just see my hair! Don't now, you stop. That isn't fair. I've only been here a minute or two, And I'm going to stay here till I'm through. Say, girls, we are going to have an awful test. I'm just too tired out. I need a rest. And, I'm all in now anyway, So I guess I will stay away. Oh, girls! The dance last night was - - He-Oh there goes that horrid bell. Girls! Who is the shiek in the brand new suit? Sakes alive!

Soliloquy of a Sophomore Teacher, you're an awful crook, For if I merely turn and look, My name goes down. I asked my neighbor for a book, To send me to seclusion's nook, And then you frown! If you would only let me be, I'd study quite inaudibly, But then you won't. I'd do English and Geometry, Like Minerva in disguise-You'll sew Oh, teacher d0n't! My Classes Gave me knowledge, Gave me power, Got me a job After class hours. Made me hard up, Made me save, Taught me the quickest Way to shave. Sold me books, Taught me a joke, Took my tuition, and Left me brpke. Got me girls, Nice bobbed hair, Taught me to get Take the air. Gave me poems, Parties, dances, Scarfs and hats, Time is flying, Why should I cry? I'll be a Senior By and By. and In Honor of Our Jazz Orchestra Francis has a little orchestra, 'Tis anything but slow, And everywhere Francis is, The orchestra is sure to go. Chuck plays the saxophone, And at it he isn't dumb, It furnishes music everywhere, And plays till it is numb. Art mans the Cornet, In a manner gay, And wherever you may go, You'll hear that jazz orchestra play. Others in this orchestra belong, Who by artful kin, Far surpass the sirens bold Who vamped Ulysses men. The Joy of Being The Editor Getting out this Annual is no picnic, A If we print jokes people say we are silly, If we don't they say we are too seriousg If we slip things from other an- nuals, We are too lazy to write them ourselves, lf we don't we are stuck on own stuff. Olll' If we stick close to the job all day, We ought to be out hunting up HCWS. If we do get out and try to hustle, We ought to be on the job in the office. If we don't print contributions, We don't appreciate true genius, And if we do print them, the annual is filled with junk. If we make a change in the other fellow's write-up we are too critical, If we don't we are asleep. Now like as not some guy will Say, We swiped this from some other annual- WE DIDN'T. X Page 126 HAMOT Spiffy Sports Those who attended the foot- ball game the other day, August 21, 1985, at the Tomah football field, 18321 Superior Street Ccor- ner of Superior and Superiorj wit- nessed one of the most marvelous games that has ever been played. The High School Freshmen played the faculty, the proceeds going for the fund for the Elimination of the Tinkling of the Bell Between Classes. The game started off with a bang CMaybe two. Who knows and who cares?J. Heavy Walt- man, supported by Tiny Stebens, started off with a waltz. They were joined by Hoot Gibson and W. QOrange-coloredj Olson. A fierce combat ensued, the facul- ty winning. Once more the um- pire, B. Brennan fhimselfj, sang out the starting note. Up dashed Dutch Daly and Frisky Friskef' They were supported by Ambling Arityn and Be-fast Belcherf' The four displayed some of the inest Greek steps ever seen. The ball fairly floated. With all their might, O. QConstellationJ Hegre and Manie-Goer Nelson could not break down the line. Thus went the game throughout the whole afternoon. The spec- tators were knocked speechless time after time, particularly when Captain Mr. McKean simply gave the ball to the opposition-with- out asking for anything in ex- change! ! ! ! ! QSigns of surprise.J Finally, tired, worn-out, be- cause of the fierce struggle, the final note was sounded and the spectators cheered the 7-7 score. Captains McKean and Kellogg shook hands and tripped off the field in half a minute. The receipts of the game were simply appalling. Listen to this: Two Canadian nickels, one beau- tiful gold-studded tooth pick with the initials R. O. Ccould it be Roy Oa-kes?j, three bottle tops, a nail file, two tooth brushes, a pint bottle of Black Narcissus per- fume with F. W. Woolworth on thebottle, fifteen assorted shoe buttons, one towel with label Hotel Schroeder , and one dozen sets of false teeth. We ask you: when has such an astonishing ar- ray of niceties been received for such a worthy benefit? Faculty Captain ...,.,.....,.......... E. J.

A visitor at a game could not help but notice this immedi- ately upon entering any one of the numerous sport battle fields. To prove this point, recall the following incidents and decide for yourself. 1. The Sparta game-there. When our team won we immed- iately went downtown in Sparta and tore down the Sidney Hotel. That's real spirit. 2. The Reedsburg game-here. When our team kept the bacon at home in such fine style, we ran downtown to the Cash store, Hahn's, Ziegleris, and Giesler's, gently broke their windows and relieved them of a few pounds of bacon, to just show our boys that we know what bringing home the bacon means. 3. The Baraboo game-here. Our spirit almost got the better of us here. This time to show that our spirit is a thing of the present, rather than something of the past, We staged a small riot, burned the police station fgood- for-nothing placej, gave the post office a new coat of gold and white paint, and uprooted the water fountain. Try to do better than that in the line of spirit! 4. The Logan game-here. What didn't we do? This is the epitome C754' wordj of good sportsmanship and spirit. At the close of the struggle we were so very much excited that We enjoy- ed an exciting, exhilarating, gay Grecian dance. Around and about the town we went, enjoying our- selves to the fullest extent. Now, we ask you, do we or do we not have the rezl spirit? , X Page 12? HAMOT Basket-Ball Yes, it was the first game the lady had ever seen. She was sit- ting in the balcony of the gym in the Tomah High School. In that gym the great game between Tomah and Baraboo was about to take place. I wonder who that red-headed man is, sitting with those boys with bathing suits on? she asked There's the coachf' she heard someone say from behind her. Oh, where? she asked, I haven,t seen a stage coach since I was a small girlf, They are playing good team work, aren't they? she heard someone else say. Well, my eyes aren't what they used to be, I'l1 admit, but I don't see any horses down there, she answered. All at once, everyone jumped and shouted as some one called, a basketv. Now she didn't see any basket, at least not a market bas- ket. She then saw a man with a green shirt and white trousers throw the ball up between two boys who jumped to hit it. Now, what was the use of them both jumping , she thought. Only one can hit the ball anyway. Baraboo out, called the ref- eree. Well, that's a blessing, I'm glad those Baraboo people have to leave. They make so much noise anywayf, Jumped ball, shouted the ref- eree. And the lady was about to jump for the ball when a strong hand from behind told her she had better hang on. Oakes! Make a basket! was shouted. Now, said the woman, I wonder whether Oakes re- fers to a tree or whether it just goes with the game. Dear, but this is a complicated game. Who is the captain tonight? askedya voice nearby. Hovey, I think', was the reply, A captain. What can a cap- tain do around here. I don't see a ship, and there surely isn't any water around? Break that line, Fink.', What line? I donit see any line to break, she shouted. Guard him, Spang, guard him. Well, that sounds sensible. There should be a guard around here, I think , she said. Come on, Peanuts, let's have another basket, came a shout from across the room. Oh! Is someone selling peanuts down there? I wish they would come up here with them. There was a basket made, and the lady found her hat flying down to the gym floor. Someone in their joy had tipped it off of her head. Oh! what was that? I am sure it was a gun. Well, what a relief, now I can go home, she said as she prepared to leave. Tomah Wins Conference Will you ever forget the thrill you received when the whistle blew and Tomah won? Even though we all were tired out, and some of us sick, we were none too tired to see our team come through victorious in the last game. Thursday Tomah won by a big scoreg Friday was thrilling because we were play- ing our rival, Sparta. Even though it was Friday the 13th, it made no difference to us. Mr. Nelson, one of the noted authorities, says: Friday the 13th is our lucky day. Saturday we all gathered at the battle Held bright and early to see our team beat Onalaska. What a crowd, a push here, a shove there, now and then a heavy-weight stepped on our toes, but we cared little for that. After the preliminary was over, both bands pepped up, out came the teams, and the game was about to start. Bang! They were off. What a game. Tired out, but happy, we go ho'ne with the victory.

The small town is challenging the big city's in- dustrial supremacy. It is a more pleasant place to work-less crowded and less fatiguing. It is a more efficient place to work, because less human energy is consumed in getting to and from the job. It is more economical for industries, because neither its land costs nor its living costs are inflated. And widespread electric transmission systems have assured the small community of that basic necessity of industrial progress-ample, inexpensive electric power.
