If, in your opinion, We have achieved that goal successfully, we may feel that our efforts have not been in vain.

VVells, Supt. McKean, Mrs. Pagenkopf, Dr, Sher-hy, Dr. Bell It has been the Board of Education's constant desire to provide Tomah,s high school students with a high caliber of educational training, and students of Tomah High School are becoming more and more appreciative of the hoard,s efforts. Especially is the 1937 graduating class grateful to theni for their willing consent, issued last fall, to the reinstate- ment of the Hamot. 9 Cut Superintendent Q,-xwxqt 'ILQAA WORK Possibly to you, the seniors of 1937, the pinnacles of success, like majestic mountains, seem far away and entirely out of reach. People who do not face the hazards and the mis- takes of success eagerly, who do not cherish the thrills and experiences of hard work, who do not master patiently the difficulties contronting one reaching for higher goals, who have lost the spirit of achievement always found among high school students, will never know true success or walk with those who have really succeeded. Maybe today, as you are graduating from high school, you are thinking about trails to follow, mountains to climb, pitfalls to avoid, and successes to come. Very likely today in your happiness at new and well earned laurels, you do not recognize some of the most es- sential attributes of success, such as work, play, friendship, and character. Work, whether mental or physical, uniquely human, is one of the most essential fac- tors of success. From the beginning of time through the ages work has been the universal theme of writers, philosophers, scientists, and sages. It has produced present day standards of living, invention, art, science, and recreation. Today, seniors, at the threshold of active life in a work-a-day world, remember the rewards of labor are usually in proportion to one's effort, one's skills, and one's ability. Do not over-estimate your abilities or under-estimate the necessity of labor. Be prepared sufficient- ly and efficiently. That each senior may remember his school days with pleasure and Hnd happiness in life's work replete with service is my final wish as I bid farewell to the seniors of 1937. E.

KELLOGG A. GLANDER E. ELDRICK D. SHEPHARD President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Sergeant-at-arms OUR CLASS OFFICERS LOOKING FORWARD Perhaps never in the history of Tomah High School has a senior class been graduated into a more unpredictable world. Currents of change are upsetting established traditions. All the world, brought closer in understanding by the development of communication, seethes with the movements of ideas and loyalties, with the changes of ideals and standards. But, with all its laclc of security, the period offers much to young people who are eager and strong. The problems of the economic and social world, not yet even half-solved, are the tasks of youth. In the tangled web of the nation's activities young people can test their ideals of human progress. Here is opporunity for service. No ability, no matter how humble or how undeveloped, need go unused. Youth must realize that opportunities for patriotic service come to the teacher, lawyer, government official, preacher, and editor. Because no political stability in Europe is lilcely in this generation, there is a greater challenge to our own citizenry. There is greater need for understanding the problems of our own nation. Not half-truths gleaned from hasty reading of propaganda sheets, but careful digestion of facts and well-founded opinions must direct the patriotic citizen. , Greater than for some graduating classes is the hope for the future. Factors in na- tional life which prophecy an enlightened, humane society are readily found. The expansion of schools with the growing interest in adult education, independent agencies of enlighten- ment such as the Civic Education Service, the Science Service, and the National Home Library Foundation, the consumers, co-operative movement, the sense of civic responsibility in newsmen of press and radiog the concern for the agedg the progress of public health and medical scienceg the sentiment toward the conservation of human and natural resources, be- ginning of planning on a national scale--all point to a better time in national life. .l.,l. 1' I0 lf Ke Senior Class History We, the class of 1937, entered Tomah High School in September, 1933. After much advice from our more learned upperclassmen, the many rules and regulations laid down by Mr. McKean, and the ministra- tions of our adviser, Miss Golosinec, we finally fitted ourselves into the pattern of everyday school life. After many eliminations, the following class officers were selected: Robert Ziehell, presidentg june Vandervort, secretary- treasurerg Douglas Shephard, ser- geant-at-armsg and Lois Reynolds, vice president. l S.

A county examination based on the three r's', was the only requirement. Gradually, as other sub- jects crept into the curriculum, the standards of the teacher had to be raised. Realizing this, the state legis- lature passed a ruling requiring all rural teachers to have a year's pro- fessional training after the complet- tion of the high school course. Con- sequently, in 1927 the teachers' train- ing course became a post graduate course in our high school. In the training department pro- spective teachers secure teaching ex- perience through daily practice classes in the public grade school.

Individual honors won during the year were: Raymond Larrabee and Lawrence Derksen, bas- ketball letters, Robert lVIueller, debate squad, Genevieve Kelley and Elaine Bollrud, National Thespiansg Robert Mueller and Elaine Bollrud, carnival attendants, Elaine Bollrud, beginners, typing trophy winner. This, our third year in Tomah High School, has been equally successful. Throughout the year, we found it necessary to assume greater leadership than in any of our previous years, and it was this sensation of responsibility that lead many of our of '38 members to once again score as individuals, never- theless, it was the class as a whole that assumed the task of making the biggest mark on our cal- endar of events, the junior-senior prom, April 16. As we look back over the year we find that Forrest Chapman was a regular debater and also won third place in oratory at the forensic meet at Spar- ta. Robert Mueller was assistant editor of the Tom-Tom and Israel Cooper, circulation manag- er. John Nienas and Israel Cooper were adver- tising managers on t-he Hamot Staff. This year Robert Muieller and Eunice Heintz were carnival attendants. As we are now looking forward to our senior year, we can visualize still greater achievements we hope to attain during our next and last year in Tomah I-Iigh School. Till, ROVV: bl. Nicnzis, I..

Office records revealed us to be the largest class ever to have entered this school up to that time, we num- bered 146. When we became well enough acquainted with the activities that surround high school stu- dents, we chose our class officers. The ballot desig- nated Charles Aller as president, Vivian Severson, vice president, Betty Ruth Rosa, secretary-treasur- erg and Maurice Spangenberg, sergeant-at-arms. In the meantime, we, as was true of all other students, enlarged our scope of achievement by gaining membership in the band, orchestra, vocal groups, and the different clubs open to freshmen, as Well as all other phases of high school activity. Clinton Potter was the one and only from our class to enter the Mask and Wig Club. Monica Hubert was the sole freshman to join the orches- tra. 1 n i 1 FOP ROVV: M. Spangenberg, F.

When the spring forensic contests were held, we found that several from our class made excep- tional ratings for freshmen. Marguerite Donovan was chosen a school representative in extemporan- eous reading, and Lawrence jannssen shared simi- lar honors in oratory. On September 6, 1936, we began high school again, not as freshmen, but as more responsible sophomores. Our class records revealed, however, that our membership had decreased to 121. More accustomed to high school ways and means, we wasted little time in electing our class officers, and then proceeded on the course of earnest endeavor. As time progressed, extra-curricular data showed that our membership in clubs had in- creased considerably. More had joined the band, orchestra, and vocal groupsg and many of the boys again answered the call to the various athletic or- ganizations, some of them making teams. Lawr- ence Janssen and Marguerite Donovan were regu- lar members of the debate squad. It was our class that in December sponsored the annual Christmas program. Our production centered around the Chimes of Christmas. AI- most all sophomores were occupied in one way or another in making the event a success. Spring forensic contests again revealed talent in our class. Lawrence Janssen, the only one from our class to represent the school in any division, won first place in oratory in the triangular meet at Sparta. With half of our school life behind us, we are looking forward to two more succesful years in which to show our influence in the school. . , Y , 1 I I 2 I IHI RONX: VI. Bi-Iwcns. R. Lerlucl, E.

Those who work in this capacity for two hours a day for the entire school year are given a credit toward their graduation and are required to take only three academic subjects during the year they do office work. This year the office assistants and the periods during which they worked were: Eunice Heintz-1, 2, Bernice Waege-35 Marjorie Jensen-4, 5, Winnifred Gottbehuet-6. SCHOOL BANKERS For the past school term the Tomah School Bank has been functioning under the cap- able hands of Eunice I-ieintz and Winnifred Gottbehuet. Any business transaction by organ- ization treasurers must pass through the hands of th-ese bankers, who issue all checks required by school organizations and also receive all money collected by the various groups and their activities. The bankers must, in turn, deposit all money they receive in a down-town bank. It is the bankers' responsibility to see that the entire organizations, finances are kept in balance with the school bank, and further, that their balance agrees with the down-town bank. For their efforts they are granted one-half credit toward graduation. ATTENDANCE SECRETARY Leona Gasper has kept the attendance records. Her duties include keeping track of all students absent, issuing and collecting make-up cards, and reporting those over-due. She, too, rceives one credit, since her work takes, on the average, two or more hours per day. ATHLETIC BUSINESS MANAGER Contrary to the notion that being athletic business manager was a boy's job, the place was this year given to Alvera Glander, a senior girl. Her work requires her to pay all the bills incurred by the athletic department, as well as collecting and depositing in the school bank all money received from athletic activities. The athletic department has one of the largest functioning funds in the school bank, and the position of manager requires her, as well as Mr. Bizer, sponsor, to keep on the alert to see that all financial matters concerning the department are taken care of promptly and accurately. EXTRA-CURRICULAR SECRETARY Records of the number of points of extra-curricular work students are carrying in addition to regular academic subjects are kept up-to-date by Evelyn Griswold. Upon her rests the obligation of seeing to it that no student carries more extra-curricular activities than is permitted by a school regulation limiting participation according to students' scholastic stand- ings. Those having honor roll grades may carry Z5 points, average grades, 15 points, one failure, 10 pointsg and two failures, 5 points. The records are re-checked every six weeks. Students carrying more than their quota of extra points are required to drop certain activities. Page Thirty-four 35?

After four issues had been published this year, the Tom-Tom, a developement of the Owl and Tomah Times, was discontinued in favor of the Hamot. It was those four issues, how- ever, that secured for Tomah High School its first All-American newspaper rating, granted by the National Scholastic Press Association. Membership to the staff is entirely voluntary. Any stu- dent interested in newspaper work of any kind is welcome to add his abilities to this organization. Meetings of the staff were held on Tuesday nights after school, when assign- ments were given, issues discussed, and outside speakers brought in to help the students become acquainted with newspaper work. All work for the Tom-Tom was done outside of school, as no special journalism course is offered in Tomah High School.

M Iss REISER Because of scholarship, character, leadership, and service, certain seniors were again selected and invited as candidates for nomination to the Tomah Chapter of the National Honor Society. These seniors, ranking scholastically in the upper third of this year's grad- uating class, were chosen by the vote of the senior class and by a special committee of teachers appointed by the superintendent. Thirteen nominees, after accepting the invitation for membership, were formally ad- mitted into the society at the annual induction ceremonies March 4, 1937. Following the program proper, a luncheon was served in room l0, to which the new members, their parents and friends, were cordially invited. As an added feature, during April a banquet was pre- pared by the home economics students for the Honor Society. Among the certain duties which this society attempts to accomplish during its term of activity are included some project which will benefit the school and the purchase of the letters for the lcey and spade panels. In order to finance these various objectives, the group sponsored the orpheum. The orpheum, although put on under the supervision of the society, was compromised of entertainment provided by the various organizations of the school. Page Tliirty-nine V '1 gn 'l'lllRD ROVV: H.

Its purpose has ever been to provide students interested in commercial work with an added means of gaining knowledge concerning the general practices of business, as well as providing opportunities for extensive practice of those principles. In attaining its ambition to foster commercial work, the 1935 Commerce Club invested in two typing trophies. The 1936 club followed their example and bought a shorthand awards cup. These are presented to outstanding students in typing and shorthand at the end of each school year, together with the honor of having their names engraved on the cup each receives This custom was adopted to provide a material goal for those taking the commercial course. Membership in the club is limited to fifty commercial students, chosen by a faculty- student committee. Meetings, at which the club's business is discussed, are held on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each school month. The remainder of the evening is usually spent in the form of a social program. Special programs included addresses by Mrs. Gunning, Mr. Nielsen, Miss Morehouse, and Mr. McKean.

This year a country was selected for each program and activities concerning it were conducted by club members. Occasionally, the Latin Club held joint meetings with the Hobby Club. On January 8, 1937, the mass meeting for the La Crosse Logan basketball game was given under the sponsorship of the Latin Club. Mr. T. P. Donovan was the outside speaker and Helen Sorenson was the student speaker, with Virginia Gordon as chairman. Following the presentation of a short skit, Miss Dean led the school in the high school song, as well as pep songs.

It aims to promote an interest in all things pertaining to science, as well as to offer its members an opportunity to understand the procedure of any organization, and to meet fellow students in a social manner. . t The membership limit has been changed from twenty-five to thirty. In September, seventy students applied for membership. From this group one senior, seven juniors, eight sophomores, and twelve freshmen were chosen. The semi-monthly meetings are held the first and third Tuesday evenings of each month in room 22. The programs, arranged by a student committee, are given by the student members. The first part of the program is devoted to material of a scientific nature, and the remainder of the time is an informal social period sponsored by a social committee. On December 8, the club enjoyed its Christmas party. The organization presented A Man on the Streetv program at the mass meeting for the alumni basketball game.

Its purpose is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. When the club meets, it discusses topics which are confronting it, or those that will in the future, and topics which will make better characters of people in and out of school. In these topics were included: crime, more and better basketball, football, etc.g more and better high school parties, qualifications of a good sportsman, and goals we should strive to achieve. A topic was selected for each meeting, and a committee consisting of two or three members prepared a discussion on the subject. This committee was permitted to ask some member of the club to talk, invite some member of the faculty, or some person from Outside of school to give his viewpoint on the subject. The Hi-Y Club joined with the Dramatic Club and sponsored the Christmas party on December 11, 1936. The first mass meeting of this school year was in charge of this club.

Any student who is in good standing and who is eligible to belong to a club, may become a member. The meetings are held every second and fourth Tuesday evening of the school month in room 1. The Tomah Domecon Club is affiliated with the National and State Home Economics Associations. Programs are primarily of the entertainment nature. On January 5, the members of the History Club were the guests of the Domecon Club. Dr. Cunningham entertained them with his movie. For Christmas they were entertained at the home of Kathryn Miller. Miss Nlorehouse was with them one meeting and read selections of poetry. It was through the efforts of these home economics students that townspeople, as well as students, were able to enjoy last fall,s homecoming mass meeting-bonfire, snake dance, and all. The year7s activities were concluded with the annual club picnic. Page lfortyflive I THIRD ROW: L. Holm, M. Schedler, D. Von Haden, V. Johnson, J. Carpenter, M. Collins SECOND ROW: N. Johnson, F.

These girls were: Dorothy Kortbein, Myrtle Merow, Lauretta Barry, Edna Weideman, Geneva Hilliker, Josephine Nogroski, and Doris Browne. The club, being of a literary nature, chose as its name The Tusitala Club, Tusitala 'being the name which natives of the South Sea called Robert Louis Stevenson and which means Teller of Tales. Students who like to read find the English Club, as it is somtimes called, an ideal group to join, although only junior and senior girls are eligible for membership. Programs vary throughout the year and include stories, readings, book reviews, talks about authors, stunts, dramatizations, and games. Several activities were accomplished during the year by the l936-'37 club. Of these, the foremost included the Christmas party held at the home of a member, Virginia Johnson, and the sponsorship of the mass meeting for the Friendship-Adams basketball game Feb- ruary 11.

PETROSEK Developing an interest and appreciation for hobbies forms the principal objective of the Hobby Club. Its organization differs slightly from that of other clubs, since at every other meeting the girls assemble with Miss Reiser and the boys with Mr. Petroselc. At these divided meetings members of both groups engage in their own particular hob-by or in group activities. When the regular meetings are conducted, at which all members meet together, var- ious pastimes are pursued. One meeting was devoted to learning the art of ballroom dancing and another to ice skating. In the main, meetings consisted of programs at which members are selected to talk about their hobbiesg others show how they are developing their particular hobby. Singing favorite songs often occupies part of the program schedule, while at still other times students of other clubs are invited to tell about their hobbies. It was the Hobby Club that sponsored the mass meeting for the Reedsburg game January 29. Applications for membership in the club is open to students of all classes. New members are admitted to the club upon a two-thirds majority vote of the old members, but three unexcused absences from meetings cause the absentee to forfeit his membership.

Emphasis has been placed on the study of the arts contributed by various civilizations of the world. One series of lessons used this year pertained to archi- tecture. Beginning with that of ancient Egypt, the study followed through to the Italian Renaissance. Nlembership to the club is open to students who are studying history. Both the Home Economics Club and Commercial Club invited the History Club members to a special program they had prepared. Later in the year the l-listory Club held a joint meeting with the I-lome Economics Club. Club members sponsored the mass meeting held before the New Lisbon basketball game. Reverend R. Boettcher was the outside speaker who appeared on the program. In February the members were entertained at the home of one of its members, Jean- ette Miller, for a Valentine's party. The year's activities closed with an annual picnic. Page Forty -eight THIRD ROVY: A. Tunks, A. lingo, Y. Hagen, B. Pit-11, ll. Thmieson, M. Rout, 'I'. Ofteflahl, B. Pergzniilu. SECOND ROXY5 A.

This year the club organized as an art club. Drawing, painting, and construction worlc suitable for teaching purposes in grade schools has been done under the guidance of Miss Alice Kaiser. The social life this year consisted of four parties: the Christmas party, a Valentine party in the kindergarten room in the Miller Building, a general get-together of cadet and rural teachers was held in the spring before rural practice began, and a mock commencement at the close of the year. During the course of the year this club presented the Portage mass meeting for the basketball game played here, and a side show, Q'The Quintsf' at the carnival. The Rural Life Club held regular meetings once every two weeks. The only require- ment for membership to the club is that one must be a member of the teacher training department.

Miss DEAN The Girls' Glee Club is an organization greatly representative of the student body. Under the direction of Miss Ernestine Johnsen, the Glee Club won first place in Class A in the 1935 Music Tournament, singing the Song of the Winds.,' The Glee Club also attended the state tournament in Wausau the same year. A first place was again awarded to the Girls' Glee Club at the district tournament held in Tomah, May 2, 1936, under the leadership of Miss Katherine Gregg. The contest number used was Follow Me Down to Carlowf, This year Miss Mariel Dean directed the glee clubs. Many new voices were added to last yearls group, and under her direction the members again tried for honors. The Snowv and I-Tow Sweet the Answer Echo Malcesv were selected as contest numbers. The Girls' Glee Club sang at the Thanksgiving Day program and at the music concert February 1. Out of this organization numerous musical groups have been formed such as a Senior Girls' Trio consisting of Caryl Mae Reisenauer, soprano, Jean Bennett, second soprano, and Eleanore Battalia, alto, also, a Sophomore Girls' Trio composed of Dorothy Kuehl, soprano, Kathryn Gilbert, second soprano, and Marguerite Donovan, alto. These, and other similar groups, appeared at various occasions during the school year. Page Fifty y u X STANDING- I.. Kellogg, J. Nivuas, H. lflmcnlt, l,. l'1'it-lipp, Miss lic-an, R.

Boys' Glee Club President ,, , , LLOYD KELLOGG Vice Provident E JOHN NIENAS Secretary-Treasurer GEORGE EBERDT Director ,,,,,,,,,,, , Miss DEAN Although it is less emphasized in school life than is the Girls, Glee Club, our Boys' Glee Club has served in capacity that is not to be passed by. As a whole, the worlcs under- talcen by the group are lighter than those of other groups, the chief reason for this lying in the fact that, with only one-half hour rehearsals weekly, there is little time for worlcing on cliflicult numbers. One advantage this group has is that all those belonging promote a spirit of friendli- ness and cooperation at practices. It is this spirit that assists in their appearance when public vocalizations are made. It is this same friendly spirit that will help malce the organization grow in years to come until it occupies a ranking similar to the Girls, Glee Club and the A Cappella Choir. On more than one occasion the group has appeared on programs and received loud applause from the student body. Their rendition of Greek Philosophy has gained a popularity that is hard to subdue. The students of our school demand an occasional bit of light music, and it is the boys of this unit that provide it. Page Fifty-one f FIFTH ROVV: J. Nienas, B, Brookman, D. Slieplirlrcl, VV.

Last year, under the direction of Miss Katherine Gregg, it entered the district music tournament for the first time. Com- peting in Class C, it was awarded first place and was eligible to go to Madison to the state tournament, but lack of sufiicient funds made it necessary to pass up the opportunity. This year Miss Mariel Dean directed the Choir and entered it in class B. This change required more time and harder work of each individual member. This year, for the first time, the A Cappella was organized as a body representative of all classes. In previous years its membership consisted of only juniors and seniors. On the Christmas program it rendered Fairest Lord Jesus and RTO Shorten Winter's Sadnessf' Other selections it has worked on are: Go Down Mosesf' Meditation,v As Torrents In Summer, and llDusk, the last two of which were this yearls tournament numbers. Membership Huctuated between forty-five and fifty-five individuals throughout the term, due to rearrangements made in organization, but at all times it was acclaimed the vocal group of largest enrollment.

NYE The band, under the direction of Mr. Nye since 1932, has come to occupy a prom- inent place in community activities. The number of times each year that the band, or individuals from the band, have taken part in school and community programs and events is large. Also, it has acquired a position among the foremost bands of this district. Perhaps the peak of achievement in recent years was attained in 1935 when, entering in a higher classilication than age and experience warranted, it captured First place in district and state tournaments, winning despite handicaps in instrumentation and competition with schools considerably larger than Tomah. Last year Tomah was host to the District Music Festival. The band again won first in Class B. It attended the Western Wisconsin Music Festival at La Crosse for the first time in 1936. Beginning in 1934, some Tomah band members have attended the Wisconsin Music Clinic conducted in Madison during July. These people have been members of the All State Band, playing under William D. Revelli and Carlton Stuart, and received private lessons from well-known specialists on their instruments. The Tomah Band Mothers' Club, organized in 1934, has been responsible in a large part for the success of the band. With untiring efforts they have raised money to buy needed instruments and equipment, and have planned and chaperoned the many trips the band has taken. Page Fifty-three l ,4 STANDING: G. Sowlc, M.

Vandervort Orchestra At the last year's music festival held in Tomah the school and the community became more orchestra conscious, because of the superior instrumentation of competing orchestras. Coming to the assistant of our orchestra, the Honor Society and the class of 1938 resolved to aid us in acquiring, for the first time in the school's history, a string-bass and viola. With the assistance of the Board of Education, the two instruments were purchased and presented to the orchestra and student body in October, 1936. The Band Mothers showed an interest in the orchestra when they presented it with another cello. This improvement in instrumen- tation was the first in some years ancl marks what we hope will be the beginning of an orches- tra that will eventually follow the example of the band in placing high in contests. One of the most promising indications to the orchestra's future is the large number of beginners on string instruments, the number of which almost equals the present member- ship of the orchestra. It is expected that a Junior Orchestra will be organized during 1937. 1n the fall of 1936 came the good news that the Band Mothers had been transformed into the Band and Orchestra Mothers' Club, promising future support of the orchestra, as well as the band. With the assistance and encouragement of this organization, the orchestra faces the future with confidence. Page Fifty-four Public Speaking STATE CHAMPIONS DRAMATIC DECLAMATORY When Eugene Comiskey journeyed to Madison in May, 1936, it was to come back state champion of the ser- ious declamatory contest held there. His declamation, Be- yond the Last Milef' told the dramatic story of a man electrocuted for a crime he had not committed. Eugene showed unusal abilities as a student actor all during his years at high school, and had taken major roles in contest plays for three consecutive years. Besides doing dramatic work, he took an active part in public speak- ing and showed his combined abilities well in his declama- tory achievements. By winning in 1936, he brought home the state honors which, for the second consecutive year, became a credit to Tomah High School. In 1935 Florence Franz, a Tomah graduate of that year, also succeeded in capturing first place in the state EUGENE COMISKEY serious declamatory contest, her declamation having been 'QEyes.', Both state winners were coached by Miss McGlachlin, and it is to her they owe a part of their success. National Forensioflseague In the spring of 1929 Chapter No. 10 of the National Forensic League was introduced into Tomah High School under the sponsorship of the Honor Society. The interest in the league may be shown by the number of states represented in it. In 1932 there were thirty-two with two hundred and twenty-five chap-ters, ten of them in Wisconsin high schools. Four different awards are offered for honorary service in public speaking. The highest award being the degree of distinction, the second highest, the degree of excellence, the third highest, the degree of honor, the fourth highest, the degree of merit. The purpose of the organization is to find public speaking ability and then to stimulate public speaking, by offering recognition for the successful participants in the various speech activities. This encourages many to strive for higher goals in public speaking while still in high school, by participating in many of the branches of interscholastic speaking. The present members of the faculty who belong to the league are: Miss McAdams, Miss McGlachlin, and Mr. Gunning. There are also some students who are eligible for membership. They are: Robert Mueller, Esther Eldrick, Forrest Chapman, Lloyd Kellogg, Marguerite Donovan, and Lawrence Janssen. Page Fifty- five Stantling: I., Kellogg, I.. Janssen, F. Cliapman, R. Mueller Sitting: E. Eldrielt, M. Donovan. Debate A season of interest and success was enjoyed by the Tomah debating teams. Guided by such veterans of speech training as Miss McAdams and Miss McGlachlin, the two teams learned much about the art of debating, and their experience gained in speech-making will undoubtedly be of great benefit to all in their later lives. The question for discussion, Resolved: That all electric utlities should be govern- mentally owned and operated, was of great interest to the students, as well as to the teachers, and was debated by high schools and colleges throughout the nation. When the debate season opened several students joined the Debate Club and tried out for places on the two teams. The students chosen for members of the debate squads were: on the affirmative, Marguerite Donovan, Robert Mueller and Forrest Chapmang the negative, Esther Eldriclc, Lloyd Kellogg and Lawrence Janssen. After a few heated practice debates the Tomah squads started their season of inter- scholastic competition with a non-decision debate with Aquinas, the negative going to La Crosse and the affirmative debating here. On Saturday, January 23, both teams went into action in the first two rounds of the state contest held at the Teachers' College at La Crosse. Both came out triumphant, winning all four of their debates by unanimous decisions. This entitled them to go to Stevens Point for the third round. However, before this round came, the teams were met by both of Reeds- burgis teams here on January 29, in non-decision debates. On February 18 the affirmative team motored to Portage for a non-decision debate with them, and on February 19 the negative team met the Portage affirmative here at which time helpful criticisms were given to both teams by Reverend Gerald Churchill. Page Fifty-six DEBATE qcominuedp On Saturday, February 20, in a heavy fog both teams traveled to Stevens Point where the negative defeated Waupun and the affirmative were defeated by Two Rivers, who later won the state championship. The teams came home in the most severe snowstorm of the year determined to take the South Central Conference if it were possible. On Saturday, February 27, both teams tangled with two opponents each, the affirmative winning over Viroqua and losing to Baraboo, and the negative winning over Sparta and Richland Center. This left Tomah tied with Portage for the championship, but when percentage points were tallied Tomah was on the long end and her teams took the trophy home, happily ending this season of debating.

This year's coaches, Miss Mc- Adams and Miss McGlachlin, have been generous in spending their outside time helping and guiding the debaters so they could successfully represent To- mah High School in all their contests. Without such help the debate teams could not have had such a successful sea- ' son. MARY MCADAMS EUNICE MCGLACHLIN Page Fifty-seven PUBLIC SPEAKING Most high school students fully grasp the value of athletics in school life, but few know the value of participating in public speaking. When they entered high school, or more likely before they entered high school, they heard their teachers mention the value re- ceived by participants in public speaking and also were urged by these teachers to enter public speaking activities, especially if they showed some talent. This same procedure has been going on for years, and thus to show the value of participating in public speaking activities, we need only look to prominent men in any community-lawyers, congressmen, etc.-to find what value has been derived from such activities. It is found that public speaking gives one poise and a certain degree of self- confidence when meeting people, and most of all, it enables one to express. his ideas in a manner easily grasped by all. It has been found that in order to be a leader in any com- munity, one must have some public speaking ability. ORATORY AND DECLAMATORY The young Ciceros of Tomah High School spent much time and conscientious effort on their orations. They thoroughly controlled themselves physically and mentally, deliver- ing them with fine speech and gesticulation. The winners of the contest held on March 22 were Forrest Chapman and Lawrence Janssen. Harold Seitz was named alternate. Humorous and dramatic declaimers chose their declamations carefully. They work- ed to interpret their selections to the best of their ability and to try and duplicate the success of the past two years. The survivors of the contest in dramatic declamatory were Lida John- son and Caryl Mae Reisenauer, with Kathryn Gilbert as alternate. The winners in humorous declamatory were Genevieve Kelley and Helen Albrecht, with George Schoot as alternate. EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEAKING AND READING Extemporaneous speakers spent much energy and time in keeping up on topics of current interest and in practicing for the fiuent delivery of speeches which were to be given. Those remaining after the elimination contest were Robert Mueller and Beatrice Evans, with Esther Eldrick as alternate. Extemporaneous readers must practice reading aloud to interpret and express the thoughts of the author as well as possible. The readers trying out were aware of these things and did their utmost to fulfill their duty. Those chosen to represent Tomah High in read- ing were Lydia Hahn and Beverly Caylor, with jean Bennett as alternate. Winners from the above contests entered the state league competition at Sparta on April 10. In oratory Lawrence Janssen was awarded first place and Forrest Chapman, third. Extemporaneous speaking honors went to Robert Mueller, first, and Beatrice Evans, second. Beverly Caylor received third place in the extemporanous reading section. Winners of the oratory and extemporaneous speaking contests competed in the district meet at La Crosse, Ap-ril 24. Page Fifty-eight l 4 Carnival Our Alma Mater held its first carnival in 1920, and the practice was continued an- nually from then forward. In 1933, for economic reasons, it was discontinued. Four years later it resumed its place among our activities. Thus, on November 20, 1936, Tomah High School was again teeming with the fun and noise which forerun a successful carnival. In the evening of that most gala November day, the main show, under the direction of Miss McCluskey and Miss McGlachlin, featured the visit of an Iowa family to Carnival Chateau, the capitol of Tomania, to witness a floor show given in honor of that country's king and queen. An entire royal party, previously chosen and announced, attended the eve- ning's festivity. Side shows for the occasion were: The Dionne Quintuplets, House of Horrors, Mouse Trap, House of Terror, Fish Pond, Fortune Telling, Famous Pictures, and Boxing Matches. A jitney dance was held in the gymnasium with music by Onan Vaudell's orchestra. Hot dogs, sandwiches, coffee, pop, eskimo pies, candy, and salad dressings were sold, with Mr. Nelson and Miss Parman serving as supervisors.

Admission fees collected by the program were used for the worth- while causes, including the Helping I-land and Hood relief. The program began with two selections by the orchestra, followed by a vocal trio and an instrumental trio consisting entirely of sophomores. The feature of the evening was an original play Chimes of Christmas -costumed, directed, and produced by sophomores. This play was based on the story of Why the Chimes Rang. Helen Sorenson read the prologue. Part H, Greta's vision, was a scene in a cathedral. The sophomore committee in charge of this scene was assisted by Miss Svec's geometry class from which nutzer, a junior, designed the windows. While the choristers sang hymns, many characters, bringing gifts with worship the Christ Child.

Franz The Patchwork Quilt This drama by Rachel Field was chosen by Miss Dorothy Stauffacher, dramatic coach, to be Tomah's entry in the state-wide play contest. It was first presented at a public program January ll. On January 26, Tomah met Necedah here in the first round of com- petition and carried off hrst place. In early February the cast motored to Cashton where it again captured first place over Cashton and Galesville. At the semi-finals conducted at Stevens Point, February 26, Tomah met with the casts of Kimberly and Scandinavia, and at this time succeeded in getting second place. The play deals with the unsuccessful attempts of a selfish daughter and son-in-law to secure a property deed from their old mother.

It was a comedy involving eight boys at the dress rehearsal for a play. As only boys were available for the cast, two of them had to take women's parts. They naturally re- volted at being made to dress as women, and had much difiiculty in finally getting ready to rehearse. One of the boys, Horace, who is the assistant director, and who thinks he knows more about directing than the coach, is always correcting the other fellows. They become disgusted, and decide to usmashn Horace on the tenth correction. As they expect, when Horace arrives he criticizes them several times, and they all count aloud, bewildering the unsuspecting coach, until they reach ten, when they do smash Horace, and have their revenge.

'ff X X 1 ATI-I BCDOK III LETICS OUR FOOTBALL COACH Through the years Tomah High School has built up an enviable reputation in football in Western Wisconsin, and a great deal of the credit is due to the men who have served on its coaching staff. Our present head coach, Mr. Bizer, came to T. H. S. in 1934 well grounded in football through his playing on college and professional teams and coaching at Friendship-Adams. During the three years that he has been here he has set a record for himself, not only in turning out winning teams, but in helping to build a strong character for each boy who is in his charge. Wihenever a student or a boy on one of his teams is confronted by a problem that he cannot solve, Mr. MR BIZER suggestions to the squad. MR. ROSS STOCKTON In accepting Mr. Ross Stockton to its teach- ing staff fourteen years ago, Tomah High School acquired an industrial arts teacher, an as- sistant football coach, a traffic cop for the lower hall, and a rabbit hunter, all in one. For thirteen years he has been the assistant football coach, working with the line men the larger share of the time. In the winter his spare moments are given to promoting intramural bas- ketball. Besides taking a vital interest in all school activities, he is a real friend to every per- son in school. Outside of school Mr. Stockton finds his chief diversion centering around hunting. Al- though he has always been an eager rabbit hunt- ter, this year found him in the woods searching deer, even though he failed to bring home the K bacon. A grand sport-that's Mr. Stockton. Bizer is ever ready and willing to help to his fullest extent. Besides football, he is in charge of boxing and baseball. It is a familiar sight in the fall and spring to see him play- ing and practicing, with his big voice booming out orders and MR. STOCKTON' T MR. CULLEN OUR BASKETBALL COACH The basis for success of any team is put, to a great extent, in the hands of the coach. He is the moral, intellectual, and physical example for the players to follow. Mr Cullen, our basketball and golf coach, has been one of the best examples a team could have to follow. He came here, a graduate of Carroll College, having participated in athletics at that school. During the course of his college education he won six major letters, three in football and three in basketball. Having had complete charge of the 1936- 1937 basketball squad, it was through Mr. Cul- len's undying enthusiasm that the boys completed the season successfully. Page Sixty-four 'RTH RONY: R.

Nicol, Manager Resume of Season Under the line coaching of Mr. Bizer, assisted by Mr. Stockton and Mr. Cullen, the 1936 football team had a very successful season, although it did not always figure in the win column. This was due partly to the fact that the squad was quite inexperienced and that there were only two lettermen back. Their inexperience, however, did not handicap their never say die spirit in the least. On September 18 the playing season started with the Indians playing the former Indians on the Alumni team in a game which ended with no score. The boys outclassed the Alumni in nearly every department of the game and many times were within scoring dis- tance but were unable to drive the last few yards. The next Friday, New Lisbon came to town and met with defeat by a score of 21 to O. Fifteen of our points were made on defense, which made the game all the more exciting. Shephard, after intercepting a pass, did a classy bit of running that ended only after he crossed the goal. The other touchdown from defense occurred when Sorenson, who played right tackle, blocked a punt and carried it down the field and across the goal without being touched. A week later, though, we were handed a 7 to 6 defeat at the hands of Reeds- burg. We played the game on their field and it was comparatively even throughout. At the start of the last quarter the score was 7 to 0, and it looked bad. The Indians, however, showing their customary spirit, fought their way down to the opponents' 30-yard line. I-Iere Ziebell called for a bit of strategy-a trick play that had not been used before-which re- sulted in Kohl, our big center, going over for a touchdown. Nienas missed the try for extra point and the game ended soon after. Our Homecoming was set for October 9, when we were to meet Portage, the strong- est team in the conference. They came with a strong, fast team and all we could do was to hold them to two touchdowns and make one safety for ourselves. The game ended with Portage in the lead by a score of I2 to 2. Page Sixty-five , RESUME OF SEASON The second no-score game of the season was played a week later with Viroqua. The teams on this day were very evenly matched and neither had an advantage over the other. The next to the last game was played with Baraboo on October 23, on their field. The Blue Devils started the scoring with a touchdown in the first quarter, but we were right behind them when Ziebell carried the ball over on a power play. Baraboo had a won- derful offense and the boys were 'lhard putv to hold them. In the third quarter we again made a touchdown, and the game ended 26 to 14 with Baraboo ahead. The last game of the season was played against Richland Center on our own field. Their heavy forward wall kept our boys from making many substantial gains through there, but they did complete a num- ber of passes for good gains, which went for naught, since the game ended with Richland Center on the front end of a 19 to O score. When the final whistle bl-ew, ending the 1936 football season. nine seniors bade farewell to active membership in high school football. Ar a banquet following the season's close, some of them, as well as deserving players from other classes, were presented with T's as recognition of their value on the squad. Seniors of the l936 Football Squad RODGER KOHL-!!F3C,, was the 175-pound bulwark in the center of the line who was elected honorary captain at the annual football banquet. ROBERT ZIEBELL--uBOlJ,, was the field general and full-back, and he did a fine job in filling both places. . BERNARD SoRENsoN-'cSore,' was the husky right tackle who could handle all of the boys that played opposite him. LEo REARDON--ULCON was built close to the ground, but he was more than a match for any opponent of his at left guard. DOUGLAS SHEPHARD-Q!DOUg,, held a prominent place in the backfield with his passing and running abilities. JASON NICOL1lQJ3S0U,, played at left end, always made his tackles, and seldom missed a pass. JOHN FRIEDL1uRCd,, was another of our fast backs, who, when let into the open, was hard to stop-if and when he was. WILLIAM I-IQMERMILLER- Bill was a long range punter, and his ready smile, accompanied by a witty remark, was well known on the campus. WALTER CHASE-q'Walt,' liked to catch those long forward passes that always counted for a big gain. f f A. ,tsfdjf ,L 1 OFF FOR THE FIRST DOVVN AT REEIJSBURG Page Sixty-six ,I GH T251 STAN-IDING: S, l.a1'srm, L.

Ilcnry Basketball Prospects for the 1936-37 basketball season were very bright, with three veterans from the preceding year and two lanky men fRodger Kohl and Keith Henryl reporting for practice. In the initial game the Indians defeated New Lisbon on our home floor by scoring 18 to 10. The Indians took the lead and were never headed by the invading five. On the following week the team journeyed to Friendship-Adams and were defeated by a strong quintet, 16 to 7. As the score indicates, the hoys were decidedly 'loffl' that night The thriller of the year came when the lads met a strong delegation from West Salem and just eked out a 21 to 20 decision in the last minute of play. Ir was a nip and tL1ClC Elffall' all tl'1I'0Llgl1 the game, first 0116 team lCCl afld then IIIC Ofl16I'. On December 18, the Indians invaded the Reedsburg gymnasium and were defeated in a battle which was anybody,s ball game until the final whistle, and the Indians were left on the short end of a 21 to 17 score. The first day after Christmas vacation the Indians again met the New Lisbon five on their home floor and fell victims to a decisive 25 to 19 loss revengefully netted by the blue and white. Returning to the conference schedule, the Logan quintet from La Crosse left us their scalp after 32 minutes of fast and rough basketball. The count ended 20 to 16. The following Friday the Gold and White met the Alumni, consisting of players from the two previous years. The lead exchanged hands several times throughout the game The high school, however, was on top of a 20 to 18 score. In a first half rally the Gold and White successfully defeated the Baraboo quintet by a score of 18 to 15. Tomah led at the half 14 to 2, and was never overtaken by the invaders. The Indians now faced a conference foe, Reedsburg, who had previously beaten them. The game was one of the fastest of the season, for both teams used fast breaks. Tomah led at all the intermissions and again was victorious on its home floor by a Z0 to 18 count The following week the Gold and White journeyed to Baraboo and met a smooth functioning Baraboo quintet, who completely outplayed the Tomah nve and netted a 17 to 13 victory. Page Sixty-seven BASKETBALL fContinued from page 671 The Indians again faced a foe who had previously defeated them. They revenge- fully scalped the invading Friendship-Adams five 27 to 10. In a non-conference game at Portage, Tomah fell victims to the Orange and Blaclc in a close and rough battle in which 20 fouls were called. The final score was 24 to 21. In the last conference game of the season Tomah met the sharp shooting Logan quintet in the Logan gym and met defeat, receiving the short end of a 23 to 18 score. This ended the conference season-Tomah finished fifth in the confernce race, with three three wins and three losses. In the last game of the season Tomah met Portage. Tomah had a record of seven wins and no defeats on the home court, but the Orange and Black upset the record and won 20 to 17. This was the last home game for Rodger Kohl, Robert Ziebell, and Douglas Shephard. District Tournament In the opening game Tomah met a small but fast team from Viroqua. The score exchanged hands several times throughout the first three periods. Viroqua tired consider- ably in the last quarter, and the Indians won 28 to 20. The second game pitted the Gold and White against the cardinal Sparta five, ath- letic relationships having been revived between the two schools after a two years' suspension. The gym was jammed to the roof. The game got under way with both teams playing fast and clean basketball. It was well into the fourth quarter before the Sparta quintet was sure of victory, and the Gold and White warriors went down to defeat 27 to 18. This was the first time since 1929 that a Sparta team has defeated Tomah in any athletic contest.

Page Sixty-nine lntramural Basketball For about four months during the winter months Mr. Stockton keeps a good share of the boys playing intramural basketball. This year over fifty boys reported to him shortly after Thanksgiving. Out of this group six seniors were picked to be captains and to choose their own team. Team number 1 was led by Jason Nicol, number Z by john Friedl, number 3 by Marvin Gerke, number 4 by Joe Shaffer, number 5 by Bernard Sorenson, and number 6 by Robert Nicol. The season,s play was divided into three rounds of fifteen games each, thus giving each team a total of fifteen games to play during the season. The first two rounds were won by team number 5 flowaj, and the third ended with a tie between numbers 1 and 6. By winning two of the three rounds played, Iowa became the champion of the intramurals for this year. The team members were: Bernard Sorenson, Captain, Jr. Witz and Robert Wilson, forwardsg Jack Westover and Edward Dupee, guardsg and Leslie Hart and Leon- ard Seflow were substitutes. Spring Sports Baseball is the chief spring sport and it is coached by Mr. Bizer. Between 75 and 100 boys turn out to play, they are organized into different teams and have games among themselves. Ping pong, horseshoe, and tennis matches are held for whoever wants to play- there is always a goodly number who do. The sponsors of these sports are appointed each spring before the playing season starts. With our great variety of pastimes in the spring, no one has any trouble in finding something to do and it is always under supervision of Golf Golf is quite a new and popular sport in the spring months. In the spring of ,34 the first South Central Conference golf meet was held at Reedsburg on the twelfth of May. The day was cold and windy, and all of the boys wore thin gloves, but that did not stop them from winning first place in every contest, including the coaches' and superintendents' matches, Where Coach Olson and Mr. McKean beat the representatives from the other schools. The members of the school team were: Bernard Sorenson, Captain, Robert Ziebell, Stanley Shep- hard, and Merle Robertson. The boys won the team matches with a total score of 380, and Bernard Sorenson won the individual championship with a low score of 92. The year after that the meet was held at Richland Center and in '36 it was at Sparta. Although we did not win any honors at either meet, we were both times right next to it. good lCad6I'S.

Belonging to this organization does not disqualify a girl for membership in a club, because the G. A. A. does not have regular meetings as do the regular high school clubs. Every Wediiesday night the girls meet in the gymnasium and partake in such activities as the season suggests. Each girl works for the highest number of points. These are gained by many different kinds of sports, such as hiking and skating. In the point system these sports are valued at so many points. At the end of the year awards are given to the girls having gain- ed a certain number of points. The highest award is the G. A. A. trophy, awarded at the end of the year to a senior girl whom a special committee decides has acquired the rating of a good all around student in regular academic work, as well as girls' athletics. l This year there were sixty members: seventeen seniors, fourteen juniors, fourteen sophomores, and hfteen freshmen.

A senior faculty committee and the helpers chosen by them arranged for the entertainment, refreshments, and dance music of the evening. On the evening of December 18, the Dramatic and I-li-Y Clubs entertained at a Christmas party. A fantasy was presented by members of both clubs, which featured danc- ing dolls and other performing toys. Upon entering the gymnasium, each boy was pre- sented with a Christmas tree, and each girl with a red bell. These were used later in a Under Mr Gunningis supervision, the freshmen presented their first party on the evening of anuary 16 They arranged the program, which was in the form of pantomime, supplemented by musical selections given by freshmen. Mass Meetings Mass meetings were given throughout the year to create interest in football games, basketball games and plays. Each major club planned and conducted a mass meeting for a game during the football or basketball season. The general plan followed for all of these programs was a student speaker, an adult speaker some music and singing, a stunt, and plenty of cheering. Several townspeople and members of the alumni gave talks at the meetings. Football Banquet On December 12, 1936, a banquet was given for the A squad members of Tomah High School's football team. Prominent guests were the men faculty members and the men on the Board of Education. Mr. Bizer, athletic coach, acted as toastmaster for the evening, and speeches were given on sports and football by Arno-ld Fick ffamiliarly known as Unc to the boysl, Mr. McKean, and Mr. Bizer. Several of the individual players and Mr. Stockton were also called upon to give short extemporaneous talks. The main event of the evening was the presentation of T's to John Nienas, Wil- liam Krase, Raymond Larrabee, Douglas Shephard, Lyle Prielipp, Marvin Neitzel, Jason Nicol, Walter Chase, Bernard Sorenson, Leo Reardon, Harold Szablewski, John Friedl, Virgil Schmieder, and Robert Nicol, Manager. Stripes were awarded to Rodger Kohl, who was voted honorary captain of the team, and Robert Ziebell. A musical program was given later, which included selections by the boys' quartette and community singing. This enjoyable aH:air was made possible by the school. The boys in the home eco- nomics department cooked and served the delicious repast to the fellows as a htting close to the 1936 football season. White and Gold footballs served as place cards and as mementoes match-your-number dance. 7 , o 'e festive oRasion.' 77 Page Seventy-six ,va- ,ww N x N' xaiiwfsf 35 4: .... ,,:-aim, t GT.. .ol-N , .,,,.

Page Seventy-seven 3 ,nal Programs and Parties JUNIOR PRO'M On the evening of April 17, 1936, when the guests of the juniors arrived, they found themselves in a Miami sports atmosphere. A huge silver star hung overhead, and suspend-ed from it were blue star-studded streamers. Pine boughs overhung the tables at which ice cream and cake were later served. Under a gaily striped awning surrounded by palms, jimmy jones' orchestra played the dance music. The dance floor was roped off in yacht- manner and life-preservers hung about the balcony. The program, arranged by the Dramatic Club, consisted of a clarinet solo by Donald Allerg Moon Over Miami, by the boys' quartet, a modern dance by Caryl Mae Reis-enauer and Joseph Shaffer, On Miami Shore,', by a junior chorus, and a declamation by Elvora Kelk. ' LYCEUM CGURSE Tomah High School,s first lyceum course began October 8, with the appearance of the Brandt Concert Artists. This fine group presented Hugh Brandt, distinguished concert pianist and composer, Paul Pence, lyric baritone, and Helen Gudley, lyric soprano. Mr. Brandt received his education in Europe and came to America to portray the role of Franz Schubert. During the program, he revived Schubert's famous melodies in his own inter- pretations. He also played a medley of favored operatic melodies suggested by the student body. A short play depicting incidents from Franz Schubert's life, and containing many of the great composer's favorite selections, was presented, in which Mr. Brandt portrayed the role of Schubert, and Mr. Pence and Miss Gudley assisted him. The second program in the lyceum course was given on November 9 by Samuel W. Grathwell, lecturer, who is a graduate from Leland-Stanford University, and who as a forensic star was a winner of several state and international contests. He gained his reputation as an excellent speaker of personality in chautauqua programs. His subject was Tir-ikers and Thinkers. Mr. Grathwell impressed upon his audience the need of being a thinker to suc- ceed. He was billed as A Sure-fire Speaker With a Most Enviable 'Return Date Record', and he was received here as such most enthusiastically. On January 18, The Humorist of the Big Topsf' Al Priddy, presented a highly en- tertaining and informative lecture, Can Animals Think?', The greater part of Mr. Priddy's knowledge is a result of personal observations, experience, and associations of many seasons spent in circuses both here and abroad. Mr. Priddy proved conclusively that animals can and do think. Dramatic Adventures in Chalkv were presented on February 25 by Bob Wood, the brilliant young American cartoonist-entertainer. Mr. Wood displayed his ability in chalk, cartoon, comedy, and caricature sketching. All the numbers of this course were presented as assembly programs for the enjoy- ment of thezstudent bot-T52 which proved an interested and appreciative audience to each of these artists.

Page Eighty-seven TI-IE WILL AND TESTAMENT OF TI-IE CLASS OF 1937 Know All Men By These Presents: We, the seniors, being of unsound body and mentally deficient, do make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament. We do give and bequeath to our under classmen and faculty certain properties and characteristics which we hope will be put to good usage. To the jittery juniors we bequeath our vim, vigor, vitality, and pep to swell the cheer- ing sections at games. To the sophisticated sophomores we bequeath our giggles and carefree attitude toward everything concerned. To the timid freshmen we leave our ability to get away with chewing gum, whispering, and come what may. To the faculty we leave our scratched up seats and dog-eared books that they may pass them on to the under classmen. G As individuals, Julia and Evelyn Hansen bequeath their sisterly love to Helen and Margaret Kemp. Virginia Edgerton wills her good marks to Ruth Kimzey. Arnold Guthrie leaves his Model A to Franklin Paddock to assist him up the hill to the school house. Edwin Lawrenz leaves Joyce Kuderer to Harold Stebbins. fSays who?j Leona Gasper leaves her place as Miss McAdam's confidential secretary to Faye Drescher. Marvin Heeler gives his seat in the main room near Norma Johnson to Billy Rabe. Marine Alexander enthusiastically surrenders her bookkeeping books to Marieta Von Haden. Joe Shaffer wills his good looks and height to Ray Henry. Reuben Westphal leaves his troubles with the faculty to Lester Sell. Dorothy Von Haden wills about four inches of her height to Geraldine Collins. Rather generous, don't you think? Helen Dupee leaves her freckles to Mary Jean Kelly. To Lyle Gilmore goes Leo Reardon's file of over-due make-up cards. Evelyn Gleason leaves her work at the Miller School to June Robertson. Vivian Gabower leaves her position as typist for Miss Reiser to Francis Champlin. Elsie Ryckmen gives her love of red hair to Lorna Hueler. Henrietta Janssen gives her secret of curly hair to Olive Kelk. Luella Robertson gives her diet for keeping short to Mabel Steinbach. Gerald Murphy finds himself sole heir to Merwin Wyatt's daily ride from outside the city limits. -Signed, sealed, and presented this 4th day of June, 1937. Serious Minded Seniors. Page Eighty -eight 1 A TALE OF NAMES One Day fRussellj on the Bonnie fWitzj banks of the Senz fRobertl River sat a poor Fischer fElredaj . Beyond the river was a field in which a Shephard fDouglasj watched his Friske fWarrenj lambs fDorothy, Duane, Mariel with their little Waege fBernice, Frederick, tails. He watched them carefully because there was danger of a Fuchs fHaroldj in the near-by Wood- fliff, Irenel. In the Hart fVernal of this Forrest fffhapmanj there was a large White Ueanj Hall fVirginial with a Gray fRowlandj fence around it. On this fence there were many Bills QI-Iomermiller, Cullen, McCauley, Gramenz, Conwayj posted, warning visitors to BE- WARE: Mad Dogf' Weird were the tales of this Hall fOnaleel. Some say a Crain fDorothyj lived there in pomp and splendor. Mary fMcAdams, lVlcCluskeyj were the sounds issuing forth Nye fRobertj evening. Others say a miser Wirth fMargaretj his Wyatt fMervinj in Kohl fRodgerj dwells there with his pet Goose fGerkeJ and Glander fAlveral. He hid his jewels and gold behind the house in the Brown fVivianj Walters fMar- cellaj of the Wells U-Iowardj. Buelow fEdwardl the Hill fStanleyj on which the Hall fFayj was situated lived a Miner fLucindaj who spent most of his time in the Wildes fLa Veral listening to the Winns fNorris, Wilma, and the ice Bergs fWinnifred, Alice, Gordonl in the distance. Also he was known to Wright Uoycej about the Sowles fErna, James, Geraldine, Lawrence, of men. People often wondered why he did not write about the Seitz fHaroldj of the valley or make lamp Wichs fCarl, Irenej which the natives of the Valley could use. The first day in May fMaynardj a Neuman fLamontj came into the Kenyon fGlenl, Hipping his Nico-ls fRobert, Jasonj . One fair morning he went out to Schoot fGeorgej a rabbit but, by mistake, hit his Fuchs fHarlowj Houn fRosej, and it went running off in Payne fMadelynj. The hound lay down in the Mause fMary Jane, and died. The Young flVIargaretj man then went Holm fLoisJ to Cook fLaural some Erbs fRaldal which he had found down by the Dams fHaroldj. As he was cooking his meal he became hungry for some Snowberrys fRoemellej that he heard grew near the Sole fluorettal of his shoe. He asked the tailor to accompany him to the Hall because from what he had heard he would have to Steele fVernal the fruit if he were to get it. He thought that perhaps he could get the tailor to Steele fVivianj them for him. On the way to the place the man told him of his brother, one was a Miller fKathrynj, one was a Potter fClintonj, and one was a Farmer fMaryl. All of these lived across the Goff fElizabethl a few miles from the Hall. He said that both of them had been spirited by going too close to the Hall. At this the Welch fFredQ man turned on his heels and ran home. The tailor then took off his tailor coat and began to chuckle, for he was the miser himself. Then he sat down and fixed some Luecks fHenrietta, Constancej in a pail he was carrying and proceeded to pick some Snowberries for himself.

I'la1'0lCl Ebert GUM CHEWING Gum is to some people what wholesome food it to another. Some proht by it and others, well, it just doesn't agree with them. Some are as particular about their gum as a racoon is about his corn, and vice versa. Some can chew gum as incessantly as a mocking bird chatters and a few chats to boot, while others find it a chore. Some chew with their facial cavities so far extended that it is with ease that one can tell whether his tonsils have been extracted, whether he has sore throat, what color his tongue was last leap year, etc. Gum chewing is divided into many different kinds of chaws. There is the incissor open mug type in which the patient makes a clean sweep with every chew and fairly splices the gum in twain. A great amount of energy is wasted at every odd fifth uchawf' Then, there is the type called the usquashie molar in the face kind. Here the diseased is at a stage in which he is so weak that he can barely move his confab, uttering a squishie, succulent sound. The other types are comparatively few and far between. There are different and diverse methods of losing even a choice juicy cud. It may accidently lodge behind someone's left ear in the form of a disguised paper or spit wad. Then there is the chance that Madam Teacher might incomprehendingly turn her shifty yellow eyes in your direction. Then the best and only thing to do, even if you are in the middle of a downward sweep, I talk from experience, is to swallow it then and there. A quiclc gulp may result in a cud going down through the epiglotis into the trachea, which invariably gives one a severe coughing fit. Then, there is the most disgraceful way, at least to those who are artists at it, the last mile to the waste basket, a perfectly delicious chew gone to the dogs. -Loren Schaller Page One Hundred One I MJ Drugs - - Gift Nook Enjoy 3 Hvoice Visit Gifts For All Occasions With Your Friends Miller's stem Walgreen Drug Store Everything in Greeting Cards Northwest Telephone Co. t Lunl net FOUY1f211I1 Retailers and Buyers Grain ' Feeclstuffs l-lay Malting Barley Any Quantity - Any Time SQRENSGINVS ELEVATOR Tomah, Wisconsin We take this opportunity to extend CONGRATULATIONS to the Faculty and Student Body of the Tomah High School on their splendid work and accomplishments A few words of congratulations are indeed in order on the splendid Work and accomplishments of our high school organization.
