'THE vv'xf iggCoNfxN' History of the Class of 27 It was in the fall of 1923 that we first entered Wisconsin High. Green we were, with long legs and big heads. At first we knew we were the brightest class in school, but after a few months of school we found we had judged ourselves too highly . But we must forget all those little faults of the past and show some of our good points as Sophomores. Our boys' class basketball team has shown their ability, and The girls' basketball team has shown they are made of the stuff good teams are. We were represented on the regular squad by nearly our complete class team of last year. In our studies we have lots of pepg just ask our teachers. Socially we have not done a great deal this yearg but give three cheers for the class of '27 and the Prom they will give next year. CHARLES OTIS. Louisa WAGNER. Page Twenty-Nine

lTt-1E VVlf i CONfIgN? The Class of 26 Another year has rolled around and the end of school is drawing near. The junior Class is busy with school work, clubs, and appointments, and consequently has not entered into many social activities. However, one thing we can speak of with great pride, is the fact that we are the Hrst class to be represented on the Annual Board, and we have several members on the Committee of Eighteen. This is a good record and we expect to make it still better next year. We successfuly gave the annual Prom and a great many couples cameg even the faculty made a good showing! Everyone there seemed to have a good time. The gymnasium was decorated beautifully and one could hardly recognize it as a place for athletics. Cf course our athletic teams have made their name, but this is only to be ex- pected. Next year, when we are big Seniors tif it is possible to feel any bigger than we do now we hope to again make our name prominent, and, by our bril- liant records, make W. H. S. more famous than ever!

-Y-mr 1-we , iT!-1E vv1f coNfiNi Freshman Class History Well, folks, we're back again,-this time as Freshmen. The class of '28 is about twice as large this year as it was last, and is going stronger than ever. One of our first ventures this year was into the field of journalism. The HWEAK WEEKLY was the medium. It was a noble sheet while it lasted, and we are confident that it would take first prize in any dog show. About this time the Civics division, under the guidance of Mr. Phillips, was having a debate, which was won by Coolidge, over Davis and La Follette, on the question: Re- solved: That my candidate is better than yours. Chancey -Iuday and Edward Cole were the winning combination. So far this year there have been two class social functions. The first, a picnic at the Chase's cottage, was a great success. We carried our own lunch, and dancedf Fj after supper until nine o'clock when the affair was brought to a close by parents, guardians and report card signers in general. The second party was a Mat. dance held in the upper gym for the purpose of replenishing the class treasury, which was very empty. Although there were more chaperones present than students, a good time was had by all, and we retreated from the scene with a net profit of fifty cents. Right now we are working on our projects in Civics and Biology respectively. We hope to put the Freshmen on the map with some exhibits that will make the other stands look as popular as a text book peddler in study hall. ROBERT Coon, '28, Page Thirty FY
