Mc Glynn, Mr. Herbert Erancken, Mr. Carl Scott, Mrs. Lydia Klaus, Mr. Herbert J. Smith, Mr. Clifford A. Osen. Powers Behind The Scene Countless hours were spent by members of the Board of Education in solving the numer- ous problems which arose in the course of the planning and construction of our new building. Difficulties which might have discouraged a less determined group were faced with sound reasoning and good judgment in order to give us the fine building which we now have. The problem of finances was the lirst to be considered, and it was the school board who had to solve it. They appealed to the city council for a bond, and being assured of this money they applied to the P. W. A. for federal aid. After this grant was made, the Cook property which was part of the grounds now occupied by the new building, was purchased and the house was later sold and removed. The next step in the process was the selection of an architect who worked with the board in drawing up the plans. Upon completion ofthe plans, bids were accepted on all phases of the work, and contracts were awarded to the lowest bidders. The work of the board didn't stop here since they had to maintain continual contact with the architect and inspector during the period in which the building was under construction. Their goal was reached on January 17, 1940, when the new building was formally dedi- cated and opened for public inspection. The De Pere Board of Education is comprised of Mr. Carl G. Scott, presidentg Mrs. Lydia Klaus, secretary and treasurer: and the Messrs. Herbert J. Smith, Clifford A. Osen, and Herbert L. Erancken. Page Six T. J. Mc GLYNN Our Superintendent The year 1939 is one of very much importance in the lives of the people, and particularly the young people of school age, in De Pere and vicinity. It is important as it marks the com- pletion of a new building to be used for high school purposes. The building was made possible by hard work and splendid cooperation on the part of the people of this city together with the city council and the board of education. This new and modern building will make possible a better education for the young people. It has enabled those in charge to broaden the scope of courses offered and thus give students a wider selection which enables them to meet individual needs and desires. In addition to offer- ing a wider selection of courses, it is now possible to greatly broaden the scope of the Various courses. Modern and better laboratories greatly add to the work to be offered in science. Pub- lic speaking and music rooms also make it possible to add to the content and improve the teach- ing in these subjects. Other improved facilities also add greatly to the possibilities of doing better work in the regular academic fields. The possibilities in the field of manual arts and home economics have been greatly extended by the fine new quarters provided. The new auditorium not only fills a long felt need so far as regular school work is con- cerned but it also offers a highly desirable place for community activities, outside the regular school program. All in all, De Pere has a school plant of which its citizens can well be proud. The mem- bers of the faculty pledge themselves to do their part to use these splendid facilities in such a manner as to give the young people the best training possible for life. T. J. MC GLYNN Superintendent Page Seven Pg Egh Always Striving To Improve I878J90O IQOOJ939 1939 Modern Education Advances The De Pere High School was established in 1878, in the old Stone schoolhouse on the northeast corner of James and Wisconsin streets. The first superintendent was F. A. Sabin of Baraboo, who was later succeeded by a Mr. Strong. On February 20, 1900, the old Stone school was destroyed by lire, the cause being an over- heated stove pipe too near the ceiling. The district of De Pere then rented its former frame school building, now known as the Rebekah Lodge, on Wisconsin street, from the Benevolent society to use until the new high school then under construction could be completed. The for- mer site of the old Stone school house was converted into what is now called Flag Park. A huge celebration took place on the occasion of the occupation of the new high school re- ferred to now as the old red brick building. A parade was held in which all the students par- ticipated. Among the derby-hatted boys in the parade was Mr. Carl Scott, our present school board president. They marched to the brick building located on the present site of our high school where ceremonies took place. V For thirty years this brick building was used by De Pere students, but finally because of increased enrollment and also necessity for better equipment, the first unit of our present new school was constructed. This section was completed in 1930. It contained a long-looked- for gymnasium, new classrooms, and also a modernized laboratory. Last year, 1939, approximately ten years after the construction of the last unit, our present high school was completed. Its up-to-date equipment offers the student body increased advan- tages for high school education. It represents sixty-two years of progress from the year 1878 and stands as a monument to the interest in education manifested by the people of De Pere. Page N me 9 Our New Auditorium , I, 1?

Entering a new world, as it seemed, this year's Freshies were of the usual green va- riety. They performed all of the common freshman errors of going to wrong classrooms. forgetting teachers' names, and failing to ap- pear at the correct hour. But after all, they had it pretty hard, what with classes scattered all over town! They managed to survive the opening days, however, and finally got down to the business of electing class officers. Alan Porath, tall and sedate, was made president: Gerry McGrath, class glamour-boy, vice president: Pat O'Keefe became the freckled-face secretary: and Norbert Manders, the talkative treasurer. The first activity open to freshmen was foot- ball. Many boys spent the autumn afternoons on the gridiron performing for their school on the freshman HB squad. Page Eighteen Eventually the sophomores announced that a formal initiation of all freshmen was to take place. There was much talk of paddling, and other forms of initiating, but the final product came as an Initiation Dance, held in the gym, with an orthophonic furnishing the music. Alan Porath and Joyce Erancken led the grand march composed of all the freshmen boys and girls, who had been separated into pairs, according to number. The first dance after the march found many freshies making initial at- tempts at the fine art of jitter-bugging. More girls than boys attended the party, but Jimmy Verber made up for the deficiency by dancing every dance. Twirling attracted the eye of two freshmen, Donald Marcouiller and Evelyn Mae Riley. Their batons were twirled on various occasions throughout the year. Freshmen Enter With A Whoop Extemporaneous speaking claimed Jimmy Verber and Phyllis Zirbel, who expounded their various political views with a great deal of ability. On March twenty-ninth the freshmen gave a Spring Dance, with music furnished by somc of the best bands in the country, via the orthophonici This gave the fresh- ies a chance to practice up on their dancing. You see, many of them needed the practice since they were anxious to attend the Prom. By June, the freshmen were all organized as a class and had advanced in wisdom to a point where everyone agreed that they were indeed, eligible candidates for the position of sensible sophomores.

Page Twenty Are l-lome Ec-sperts, As You Know Girls, I've just discovered the grandest recipe for cherry cobblerl You must try it. It will simply melt in your mouth! So runs the conversation at one of the Home Economics Club meetings. As you can see, these future housewives take their interest in the culinary arts very seriously. All of which should prove that the modern girl is still just as interested in the womanly virtues as grandmother was in 1870. Meetings are held once every month, the program for each meeting being in charge of a previously appointed committee. The primary purpose of the club is to provide an opporrtunity for the girls to get together for social enjoyment, and through such gatherings to learn the niceties of entertain- ing. All girls who take home ec are automatic- ally entitled to belong to the club, if they so desire. Members bring their lunch and meet during the noon hour, thus enabling them to combine the more cultural practices of etiquette with the more practical necessities of food. At the March meeting the club officers were elected. As president, the girls elected Lucille Vande Walle, and as sec- retary and treasurer, Grace Reif and Mary Brennan, respectively. ' The pride and joy of the Home Econ- omics Club is it modern. completely equip- ped kitchen, just installed this year. It con- sists of four separate units, each furnished with a stove, sink, drawers and cupboards, with plenty of working space for ambitious cooks. But, of course, what is a kitchen without an icebox? And the home ec girls have a very large and very modern one, which serves for all four units. In fact, nothing has been overlooked which might add to the pleasure and increase the efficien- cy of the girls who are bent on becoming super-special cooks. The color scheme of this kitchen is some- thing to inspire even the most disdainful with ideas of putting on an apron and whipping up a pan of biscuits. The walls attractively painted an decorated with bowls of fruit, in pale green and Chinese red, the cupboards in black and white, the gay col- ored cannister sets, all provide an atmosphere that is a far cry from the drab, cheerless one of the old-fashioned kitchen. Activities of the club range from food and meal planning to etiquette and good grooming, and their ability was well demon- strated when they presented their own fash- ion show on April 25. A play entitled l'Pleasant Dreams was used as the back- ground for the showing of clothes made by members of the club. The play concerned a girl who did not dress correctly, but who learned the art of dressing suitably and at- tractively through a dream in which she saw what could be done with a little ingenuity and a knowledge of sewing. Thus, the presentation of the fashion show in such an original way made this very different from the ordinary program. Another interesting part was a demonstration of table setting. Ever so often these hopeful housekeep- ers have a little special entertainment at their monthly meeting, such as the Valen- tine tea given by the sophomores, on which occasion it was effectively shown to what good use they had put their knowledge of planning and serving refreshments. The Irish members of the club took March 15 as an occasion for some Irish shenanigans in celebration of St. Patrick's day, at which time the shamrock and the kelly green were well in evidence. Some of the more versa- tile membets demonstrated their talent by tap dancing and rendering solos on piano and accordian. CWhich may not be absolute- ly essential to becoming the perfect house- wife, but it might make housework more interesting to trip the light fantastic between dishes and dusting.J In their spare time the girls have even taken up handicraft and, working with cork, have made book ends, bracelets, and various other useful articles. The girls of the Home Economics Club deserve to be congratulated for the way in which they put to practical use the things they learn, and for their earnest endeavor in proving that Miss 1940 is as capable and efficient in the kitchen as she is on the dance floor. While it may not be true entirely that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, it certainly is one of the short- est ways, and the home economics members know it! Page Twenty one III B.

During footf ball season, every night directly after s c h o ol, Dad , with his big, hus- ky regulars and Wally with his smaller, freshman B squadders, could be seen on the practice field south of the building, put- ting the boys through their paces. A l 9 it ,af , .l vii ,yi ji x xi ' All Opponents Whom They iMeet ll The 1939 fooball season turned out to be very successful for the Redbirds who finished their conference season in second place with four wins, one loss, and one tie, Moreover, they were able to hold the Western Division champion, Kaukauna, to a tie in an Armistice day game at Kaukauna. Captain Tim Coller, a three-letter man, proved himself to be an ideal leader for the Redbirds, as well as an outstanding performer at the fullback post, winning the position of fullback on the 1939 All-Conference team. Other members of the Redbird squad who won honorary positions on the All-Conference teams were, Roffers and Hermans, ends on the first team, and Schroeder and Thiem, guard and tackle respectively, on the second team. Most of the touchdowns scored in the games this season were made on line bucks, and end sweeps by Coller, Vissers, and Gilson. Passing was evenly divided between Desmond and Vis- sers, with Collins sharing with his bullet-like passes, in the last two games. Twenty players received letters at the annual football banquet: Collins, Desmond, Elwell, Greenwood, Verber, Gilson, Vissers, Martin, Siebert, Schroeder, Vande Walle, Milquet, Rof- fers, Strenn, Coller, Fisher, Meulemans, Thiem, Leonhard, and Hermans. The B squadders had a successful season this year having won two games out of their three. They defeated the Oconto Bees and the Irwin school team, but lost to the Green Bay West junior high team.

DE PERE vs. TWO RIVERS The Redbirds opened the season in a victorious manner by defeating the Two Rivers Golden Air Patrol , 13-0 on the Pati-ol's own field. The Red- birds got off' to a good start with Col- ler, Vissers, and Gilson making suc- cessive gains. The first touchdown was scored by Collerg the second by Vissers. Vissers then converted a perfect extra point. DE PERE vs. STURGEON BAY The fast running of the Sturgeon Bay backfield, forced a 12-6 loss on De Pere in their second game of the season. Gilson scored the first touch- down after a furious onslaught of passes, but the Bays tightened their belts and charged back to score two touchdowns on long runs. DE PERE vs. ALGOMA Mixing their bullet-like passing at- tack with their off-tackle sprints, the Redbirds chalked up their second vic- tory of the season against the Wolves , Vissers ran across for the first touchdown and shortly after Col- ler plunged across for another. Gilson scored the last one on a long pass from Collins, making the score 19-O. DE PERE vs. KEWAUNEE With little resistance offered, the Redbirds trounced the Kewaunee elev- en, 31-13. The first half had very little hard playing in it and ended 6-0 in De Pere's favor. Later, Gilson sent the leather over into the end zone for our second score. Two spec- tacular plays, a long pass to Coller's waiting arms, and a pass grabbed by Hermans, netted twelve more points.

Three touchdowns were scor- ed by Collerg one on a long from Vis- sersg the second, a plunge, after a pass from Desmond to Hermans, and the third after blocking an Oconto punt. Vissers scampered 86 yards for the final score, late in the last period. DE PERE vs. OCONTO FALLS In the last conference game of the season, the Oconto Falls team stood off the battering attack of the Red- birds, thus upsetting the purposes of our Homecoming celebration. The first quarter saw every assault made, checked by the opposing linemen. Both teams scored in the second period, Coller scoring for De Pere and the Falls scoring after a costly Redbird fumble. On successful plays, the ball was advanced to the Falls' 3 yard line where it was fumbled, The game ended as a 6-6 tie. DE PERE vs. KAUKAUNA In an Armistice Day play-off, the Redbirds strove to outplay the Kau- kauna team, at Kaukauna, for non- conference superiority in the N.E.W. division. Late in the second quarter, Vissers swept around end and out- dodged all of the Kaukauna high backfield, for the Redbirds' lone score. On this play, Coller was forced to leave the game because of injuries. Kaukauna opened up the third period with a sweeping attack which ended in their single touchdown. Through- out the game, the Redbirds were able to show their superiority in attack, but weren't able to capitalize on scores. The final count was 6-6. 1. Hermans with Gilson. 2. Gilson und Coller. 3.

This is the case every Tuesday night when the Boys' Club holds its weekly meet- ing. Let us look in and see what is done at these masculine gatherings. The business meeting is being conducted by Gilbert Rof- fers, president, ably assisted by vice-presi- dent Bob Verber, Treasurer Pat Martin, and Secretary Kenneth Feser. Such business as there is, usually consumes very little time, after which members are free to play basket- ball, volley ball. or indoor. Never let it be said that the Boys' Club activities are limited to sports alone, Sever- al swimming parties were held at the Y. M.- C. A, this year and none of us can overlook th e never-to-be-forgotten Homecoming, staged last fall by the male members of this Page Twenty--six organization, aided and abetted by the cheer- leaders and pep band, Another big event was the sleigh ride party, held when Old Man Winter was in the height of his glory. It was decided to make it a real party and have each mem- ber invite his favorite feminine friend. After an invigorating jaunt through the country- side, the party returned to the Union Hotel for chili, to satisfy the demands of the inner man. As you may know, the Boys' Club is a very exclusive organization. Freshmen are not allowed to join. The purpose of having a Boys' Club is to give the boys of De Pere High a way to spend some of their leisure time and have a good time while doing so. This is not all it has accomplished, how- ever: it has aroused in the students a sense of strong school spirit and cooperation with all activities. In Making History For De Pere SEPTEMBER 3 1 z Write your name on the top line - only a part of the registration taking place on this first day. Today marks the beginning of things, at least the beginning of nine and one- half months of school life. Miss Mildred James of Whitewater of- fers her contribution to the commer- cial classes.

The teachers leave, the teensters take their two-days vaca- tion with the calmness and coolness al- ways found in students of high school age. Of course all this has been leading up to something, all the students, with- out exception, were presented with yel- low cards telling their fate for the first nine weeks. Peace??? Not around school. Oh, an assembly program featuring a talk on Armistice Day and Peace given by Major James. Tied games are still in line, even to the score, but here's the difference. This one was at Kaukauna, non-conference, followed by a dance with De Pere at- tendance in the evening. Junior Class needs money for a start, the start being the first candy sale of the year.

By September. no one would ever guess that not so very long ago they were the 'Lgreenies of the school, Time accom- plishes wonderful things! Among the first activities of the class was the election of officers for the year. Armon Schroeder was elected president: Kenneth De- Cleene, vice president: Bob Hermans, secretary: Grace Guyon, treasurer. Apparently the class is masculine minded! One of the main social activities of the year is the freshman initiation dance given annually by the sophomore class. This involves the problem of finances. so the sophs decided to sponsor a sandwich sale as a means of enrich- ing the treasury. Quite obviously, the sand- wiches were very tasty, if the monetary results are any indication. The success of the sale Page Thirty-two meant that plans for the initiation dance could be completed at once. under the direction of Miss Schreihart. class adviser. An orthophonic furnished the music and the rest of the enter- tainment was at the expense of the freshmen. Socially and Hnancially the party was indeed a success. Much of the pep and vitality in evidence at the various athletic contests was the result of organized cheering led by the cheerleaders. Pete Safford and Barbara Matteson upheld the sophomore angle of school spirit by leading spectators in numerous Sky rockets and Yeah teams . The sophomore boys made a fine showing in athletics. Bob I-lermans, Gerald Greenwood, Paul Creviere, Ed Gilson, Norbert Carter, Richard Keidatz, Bob Lee, Bob Lambert and Carl Moenssen were out for football. Basket- ball claimed Bob Hermans, Gerald Greenwood and Ed Walsh. This Year's Sophs With New Ambition Anne l,ey as drum major, with Fae Putman and Marianne Osen, twirlers, contributed the sophomores share to musical display. Beatrice Hawley participated in debate and ably demonstrated that even sophomores are in- terested in railroad ownership. Declamations attracted Marianne Osen. Em- my Lou Harney, Jean Bailey and Jackie Reim- er. Jean Bailey progressed as far as the district contest with her humorous declamation. Sophomore boys made considerable contribu- tions toward the success of the Camera Club movie, A Day at School. Indeed, the class as a group showed splendid promise ol' a highly successful term as juniors next year. V Al, Btlllifllvl .l. Ivaim-ii G. Giweiiwmul. Ii. lilllc-g:i1'ti 4' l'!N?Ill'II, ll.

Page Thirtyefouz' Results in Many A Lively Session All persons interested in speech are cor- dially invited to attend the next meeting of the Speech Arts Club, is an announcement that appealed to a great many students. This announcement was not given until the first business meeting, consisting of old members, had been held, in which the offi- cers for this year were elected. Those chos- en were: Donald Porath, as president: Bar- bara Matteson, vice president for one semes- ter, until she moved to La Crosse: Mary Lois O'Keefe, secretary and treasurer. At the next meeting all prospective mem- bers signed up and were given a preview of the activities for the year, Barbara Matte- son gave a monologue, Blue Roses, as part of the program. The remainder of it was furnished by the members. Slips of paper containing suggestions for panto- mimes to be acted out, were passed to all persons present. Each was required to per- form the pantomime to the best of his abil- ity, no matter if he got the hanging of a dress or the rowing of a canoe. It was also decided that at the next meet- ing comic debates should be given, and ten such questions as: Resolved that mice should change their diet from cheese to crackers, were chosen. These debates proved very interesting at the next meeting which was held a few weeks later, and many in- teresting suggestions were given for our little pesty friends. A new club was also formed this year to help develop the dramatic ability of some of our aspiring Bernhardts and Alfred Lunts. This new organization is the Dramatic Club. Every club needs officers and this was no exception. Shirley Reimer was elected pres- identg Lorraine Linnane, vice president: and Alan Porath, secretary and treasurer. Several meetings, pertaining to lighting and makeup, were held so that the members could get an insight into the legitimate theater. To put the things they had learn- ed, to good use, the Dramatic Club present- ed a comedy, Babbit's Boy, which was given for an assembly. The plot concerned the Briggs' son who had just returned from college with very high ideas. These ideas, however, were changed by the girl next door. Donald Wells portrayed the son, William Briggs: Elvira Lasee was the girl next door: Mrs. Briggs, his mother, Lor- raine Vande Walle: Emmy Lou Harney, William's sister, Jane: Nellie, the maid, was played by Eleanor Demske. At another meeting book reviews were given by Margaret Dillon and Ruth Kuy- pers. Of course, every club needs ways to fin- ance itself other than dues, so several sand- wich sales were given to put cash in the treasury. De Pere has always had an interest in for- ensic work, and these two clubs have furn- ished some very ine material in the form of declaimers, debaters and expressive read- ers, to say nothing of orators and extempor- aneous speakers. This year our debating team was made up of Mary Lois O'Keefe and Wayne Mar- couiller on the negative: Beatrice Hawley and Myron Ealck on the afiirmative. The question was Resolved: that the Federal Government should own and operate the railroads. The team took part in the dis- trict contest at Appleton and won two de- bates. Debate is only one of our speech activ- ities: expressive reading, declamation, ora- tory and extemporaneous speaking attract many students. At the contest held at Oconto Falls, Jean Bailey and Mary Lois had firsts in humorous and serious declam- ations, respectively. Jean Nuss ranked se- cond in expressive reading. In an all-student assembly given April 2, Mary Lois presented her declamation, The Mother of the Unknown Soldier, and Jean Bailey gave hers, The Line Is Busy. Both the Speech Arts and the Dramatic Clubs have contributed a great deal to our success in forensic work, and have, in addi- tion, given many students the opportunity to appear before a public group.

Croft Page Thirty-six Gave You This i940 Edition Now to consider the problem of finances -a very real and very urgent problem to the 1940 staff. The first attempt to start the ball rolling was the sponsoring of the opening dance of the year, which was high- ly successful. The biggest share of the burden, how- ever, was carried by the staff in its effort to make the sponsor drive a success. Greetings Jack! How about a greenback? became the cry as members of the Fox staff trudged the snowy streets of De Pere during the stormy month of March, covering every prospective sponsor. Annual staffers could be seen entering and exiting Qoften hurried- ly excitingj from various places of busi- ness in De Pere and Green Bay, as well. The highest degree of enthusiasm which pervaded the spirits of the staff was aroused by a cartoon drawn by Elvira Lasee, depict- ing Popeye , mallet in hand, attempting to test his strength by seeing if he could strike the weight hard enough to ring the bell. Popeye's strength grew daily as the staff brought Spinach to his aid, gradually pushing the weight nearer the bell. Each day, the most successful Spinach-gatherers had their names posted on the blackboard as Popeye's chief providers. Work on the book progressed rapidly, in the months when the various classes and or- ganizations assumed major importance in the list of things to be done, the senior sec- tion having already been completed. Pic- tures had to be cut down to specified size, and those charged with the work of writing the copy and naming the pictures of the or- ganizations and classes of the school could be heard muttering to themselves, This picture will have to be measured again. It's just one thirty-second of an inch too long. Students who may be surprised to see in this annual candid shots of themselves in situations embarrassing or otherwise may carry all grievances to Tim Coller. This camera fiend stalked students in the corridor, at their lockers, and coming to and from school. It seems one wasn't even safe in his own class room, because likely as not he would be snapped in the middle of a reci- tation. Although many difhculties were encoun- tered and it was not all smooth sailing, the staff learned one thing: that there is a great deal more behind putting out an annual, than meets the eye. Even though they are not quite sure they would like to put out two books in one year, to the staff, the Fox will always remain as one of the pleasanter memories of high school life. A very important function of the senior journalism class, and one which should not be overlooked in favor of the Fox is the publication of the school paper, the Howler, Preparation for this work in- volves a semester's course in journalism, which provides a background of journalis- tic technique for members of the staff. During the course of this study, the news- paper-minded learn the five W's, the im- portance of the news lead, the place of the feature story in the modern newspaper, what constitutes a good headline and how to avoid the pitfalls of poor ones, in fact all the ins and outs of publishing a newspaper. In reading a daily newspaper. the journalism student is taught how to recognize pro- paganda, and how to search for facts rather than suppositions. With all this knowledge to guide them, the staff undertakes the publishing of the Howler every two weeks. The school paper does not depend on subscription drives for its readers, as the paper is included in the S. C. A. plan. Every three issues the staff is changed, to provide opportunity for each one to fill various writing posts. Most of the work that goes into the pub- lishing of the l'Howler is carried on out- side of the class period. As the paper is a mimeograp-hed publication, staff mem- bers get practical experience in mimeograph- ing, which often is of value in other work. The usual number of copies run off is 370. as De Pere has an exchange whereby it sends papers to other schools and receives papers in return. This year three issues of the Howler were turned over to the juniors, who did a very capable job, judging by the clever April Fool's Day issue! Page Thirty-seven II B. Collins, G.

Lead Us To Victory, Cheered By The Crowd Basketball season began a few weeks lat- The A team was composed of the fol- er than usual this year since the gymnasium lowing players: Tim Coller, Wayne Mar- was being used as classrooms prior to the new addition to our building. The first game of the season was played with the Alumni on November 29. The remaining games, with the exception of two, one with Denmark, and one with New Lon- don, were played with the teams of the Eastern Division of the Northeastern Wis- consin Conference. The Redbirds finished the season in a tie with Oconto Falls for second place, both teams having won seven games out of the twelve conference games played. At the district basketball tournament in Menasha on March 6, 7, 8, and 9, De Pere emerged as consolation winner. The Red- birds defeated Kimberly 20 to 17 in the opening game, but were defeated by Kau- kauna 29 to 26 in the second game. On the final night of the tournament, De Pere defeated New London by a score of 27 to 22. couiller and Don Porath, seniors: Gilbert Roffers, Howard Vissers, Bob Collins, and Bob Verber, juniors: Bob Hermans, sopho- more. The members of the B squad were: Dick lVlcEachron, senior: Pat Martin, Clay- ton Kolb, Gene Hilgenberg, Bob Desmond, juniors: Gerald Greenwood and Ed Walsh, sophomores. At the close of the basketball season, con- trary to the usual custom, letters were awarded to all players on both teams, since the B squad, captured the championship in our conference. The attendance at all home games this season would seem to indicate a great inter- est in basketball on the part of the student body. Each game found the bleachers well filled with enthusiastic rooters, all with a common desire: victory for the Redbirds. Page Thirty-nine Page Forty Long Shots, Short Shots, All Are ln . DE PERE vs. ALUMNI ln the first game of the basketball season, the Redbirds made a fine show- ing against the Alumni team, defeat- ing them 35 to 25.

Twirlers Perform With Skill And Ease . . . Before September. 1937, the idea of having drum majors at De Pere High had been only a half formed dream in someones mind-but came that fateful year and the dream was transferred into reality. When Mr. Skornicka issued the call for students interested in twirling, thirty stu- dents responded. Two months of prelimin- ary training followed, after which the group underwent an elimination contest judged by Mr. Albert Glockzin, then drum major of the St. Norbert College R. O. T. C, band. Only a total of three people survived this or- deal: namely Wayne Marcouiller, Lucille Gauthier, and Anne Ley. Then came the idea of having a twirling corps. Sixty contestants entered the pre- liminary trials in November 1938, but by April l, 1939, only twelve were left to tell the tale. At the final elimination contest, Mr. Kraft, marching instructor at Menasha Page Forty-two High. was the judge, and his selection named as victors, Fae Putman, Marianne Osen, Donald Marcouiller, Evelyn Riley, Char- lotte Sepersky, and Marjorie Linnane. They, then, became the first twirling corps in this part of the state ever to become an active part of the marching band. Thus, these terrific twirlers made his- tory and are still making it. They have twirled on such occasions as a reception giv- en for Mrs. Roosevelt in 1938 at the Col- umbus Club, the Legion convention at Osh- kosh and the Packer-Bear football game in 1939, as well as at various concerts and tournaments at Manitowoc, Allouez, Shaw- ano, Two Rivers, and at our own De Pere High School. Our hats are off to nine high- stepping, lightning-fingered boys and girls who have demonstrated that they've got more than enough of what it takes to be suc- cessful in the fine art of twirling. Girl Reserves Aim To Please Our Girl Reserve Club is a part of a large group of clubs having their headquarters at the Y. W. C. A. in Green Bay. This affil- iation is responsible for many dinners, bas- ketball games and other activities in which Girl Reserves in Green Bay, Allouez, and De Pere participate. Each Girl Reserve Club is expected to have an individual name which will make it stand out from all others. Our chapter has chosen Gamma Delta Rho, composed of Greek letters. Gamma is the Greek G , Delta, the triangle, symbol of all Girl Re- serves, and Rho is the Greek letter Alice Otto is president of our organiza- tion: Jean Anderson, vice-president: Maxie Mae Smith, secretary: Jean Nuss, treasurer: Miss Ethel Daley, adviser. Among the many activities in which the girls participate, basketball ranks first. Two teams were chosen early in the year, cap- tained by Myrtle Vanda Huvel and Shirley Maddix. The competitive element consists of the Girl Reserve teams from Green Bay and Allouez. Games are played every Thurs- day night, if not a conference game, at least a practice game, in keeping with the time- worn adage- Practice makes perfect. A trophy is awarded at an annual banquet given at the end of the season. This trophy however isn't representative of games won, but rather of good sportsmanship, the qual- ity which every Girl Reserve should possess. In addition to the manifest interest in their basketball conference the Club mem- bers have another interest in athletics which is purely Hnancial. Many of you have eat- en some of their luscious candy bars at foot- ball and basketball games. When that emp- ty feeling came towards the end of the half you were probably glad that someone had a pick-me-up or an energy rebuilder for you. The people who carried all those cal- ories stored in the form of candy and ice cream bars were the Girl Reserves. The purpose of this sudden super sales- manship was closely connected with the fact that the new school was under construction and a teachers' room was included in the plans. The club members thought it would be very nice if as a group they financed the furnishing of this room. A committee was chosen to select the furniture and work out a color scheme. The finished product is a credit to the decorative skill and good taste of the group. Several parties were given during the year. The first was a very solemn and im- pressive ceremony at which new members were installed. Another party at Christmas time was in the form of a pot-luck supper. A program was given by several of the girls who gave imitations of various members of the faculty, to be identified by the group. The spring party consisted of a pot-luck supper, followed by dancing. Each spring it is customary for the older girls of the club to take a short trip to White Gables, the Girl Reserve Camp. Usually the visit extends from Friday after school until Saturday evening. The activ- ities engaged in while there, are many, - tennis, swimming ffor those who have the courage to brave the chill of the cold Wat- erlj, baseball, hiking and plain relaxation. While there, the girls do their own cooking. and according to past accounts, the bill-of- fare is quite complete. During the summer months the Y. W. C. A. conducts a camp for Girl Reserves. The purpose of the camp is to make it pos- sible for girls in various clubs to become ac- quainted, exchange ideas, and bring hack to their clubs some interesting suggestions for worthwhile activities. ' All are in accord with the approval and praise given to the Girl Reserves for their many large and beneficial projects undertaken during the year as well as for their less im- pressive, though none-the-less valuable ac- tivities such as the selling of the anti-tuber- culosis seals at Christmas time, and the dis- tributing of food to the needy. To face life squarely , and To find and give the best , are slogans which express the purpose of the Girl Reserve Club. All members pledge themselves to live up to these standards, universally adopted by chap- ters of the extensive Girl Reserve organiza- tion. Page Forty-three Vl .l. I'1l'illll'li I1, l'.

A person can't even bend over to tie a shoe- lace any more without being caught by one of those roving camera clickersl lf you recognize yourself in such a situation, re- member you are not alone: many are the students who have had painful memories re- called to them by being confronted with a picture of some past adventure which they would like to forget. This aggregation of snappy snappers meets every two weeks in the evening, with their adviser, Mr. E. Johnson. This year the club elected Donald Porath, president: James Speaker, vice president: and Charles Elwell, secretary-treasurer. Following this, new members were duly installed with prop- er ceremony and not a little hilarity. Probably one meeting which met with the greatest reception by the club members was the one at which Mr. Reimer showed motion pictures taken during his travels in Page Forty-four South America, Mexico, and the South Seas. Many of the pictures were colored, and many Obs and Abs were heard at sight of some of the beautiful scenic views. This year the Camera Club tried a unique experiment, in that its members planned, produced, and directed their own moving picture, that great saga of school life entitl- ed, A Day at School. Ten cents admis- slon was charged to see this mighty master- piece, and if we are to judge from student reaction, not since Gone With the Wind has there been such a picture produced. This club has done splendid work in en- couraging those who are interested in pho- tography as a hobby. The joy of taking pictures is that they will last indefinitely and may be kept as a reminder of the past asso- ciations and happy times, and through the Camera Club many a student has been start- ed on the way of making .1 pictorial record of his activities.

Getting used to having dances while they're gone out of town, the play- ers went to Algoma, defeated the Wolves and came back to the gym to continue their celebration.

Social activity with all its hustle and bus- tle was in full swing from the first day this class entered school as juniors. They could hardly wait for class election day to arrive since the important question of who was to be prom king would be set- tled at that time. Voting day finally came. A 2:05 period was spent in meditation. Results: Jim Desnoyers, class president and prom king: Gilbert Roffers, vice-president: Bob Desmond, secretary: Jim Speaker. treasurer. Having a prom means making money, which Wasn't too easy especially since so many organizations had similar needs. The ways and means committee started things moving by proposing a rummage sale which was held in the Falck building. Busy juniors collected everything from Page Fifty sewing machines to straw hats, and busier juniors sold shoes, pans, and overcoats with all the finesse of experienced salesmen. Ar- ticles rapidly disappeared as money rolled in, making the whole thing a huge success. One good sale suggests another. Hence, a candy sale followed in rapid succession. Next on the calendar was a paper drive, and then an orthophonic dance. A card party, a spring affair, was held in the gym- nasium on April 10. Juniors acted as hos- tesses and proved to be very capable in dis- playing their social graces. Financially and socially the party rated highly. Finally on May 10 came the climax of the year's work-Promlfa party every junior could justly be proud of. All of the work of preparation was forgotten when Leaders ln The Social Whirl the first strains of inusic resounded across the gaily decorated gym. Besides being socialites, the juniors had other worthwhile activities. Many boys dis- played athletic skill which made other class- es take notice. On the football team were: Gilbert Rot, fers. Bob Desmond, Bob Collins, Orman Olson, Bob Verber, Jim Desnoyers. Howie Vissers, Jerome Meulemans, Kenny Feser, Gene Hilgenberg, Pat Martin and Jerome Coenen. Maxie Nlae Smith displayed the spirit of the class by leading cheers at all the contests. All in all, the juniors showed that they as a class were supporting all school activi- ties in preparation for next year when they wil acquire seniority rights. flr IX H. lalllSlllll,'l', Il. l'i-ters, l'.

As has often been remarked. music soothes the savage beast, and while we don't mean to imply that the average De Pere student is a savage beast, be Ends the music of De Peres band none the less satis- fying. Nor must we forget the enjoyment derived from the melodious blending of voices which make up the De Pere chorus. It is plainly seen that these two groups offer the greatest opportunity' to the student to develop his hidden talents and blossom forth as a junior edition of Jascha Heifetz or Lily Pons, or perhaps more to his liking, Gene Krupa. An encouragement to reach the heights of musical accomplishment is provided by the efficient and thoroughly modern sur- roundings in which these groups work. com' plete in every detail. This musical unit combines a room in which both band and Page Fifty-two chorus may practice, a private office for Mr. Skornicka, and five practice rooms, each of which, as you may have observed, bears resemblance to an over-sized telephone booth. From these practice rooms come the sweet. and once in a great While sour, notes which waft through the building and lull students into a state of sweet submission to prosiac lessons. As we search through the vital statis- tics department, we find that there are forty- nine voices in the chorus and fifty-eight in- struments in the band, not including the very capable director of the two groups, Mr. Lester A. Skornicka. Some of the band members are in grade school at the present, and so have an early start in the develop- ment of their musical skill. During the football season the band. minus its uniforms, devoted its time to giv- ing musical encouragement to De Pere's i Y E, Hood. AX. IM:-sith, U. lVll1l'lSiPl'lSt+ll, XV. Mz11'r'uui1l1'1'.

No mat- ter how cold or raw the day. the band was there, playing its best for the team and pro- moting the kind of spirit that really makes the game what it is. Naturally the chorus could not give rise to song at a football game, but it did com- bine with the band in presenting several concerts during the year. This year the first concert was presented at the time of the dedication of the new building, which was held on January 17, after being post- poned several days due to one very heavy snowstorm. Again in February, band and chorus members united their talents in a musical program that was not only pleas- ing to the ear, but to the eye as well. Color- ed footlights lighted the swiftly moving ba- tons held in the nimble fingers of our nine drum-majors, Anne Ley, Lucille Gauthier, Wayne Marcouiller, Fae Putman, Marianne Osen, Donald Marcouiller, Charlotte Seper- sky, Marjorie l.innane, and Evelyn Riley. All of which gave an added attraction'to the entire program and made -this one of the most entertaining events of the year. Not content with satisfying students at home, the band and chorus must set out into the world and make their mark for dear old De Pere. On May 4 they traveled to Kaukauna to compete in the solo and en- semble tournament. as always, giving their best in musical ability and sportsmanship for the fair name of their school. On May ll, the entire band journeyed to Kaukauna again, this time for the band tournament. We offer as a Htting tagline for the band and chorus, Not a sour note in a selec- tionl and hope that for many years to come they will continue to provide De Pere students with the kind of music they like to hear.

The di- rector of the play was Miss Marion Meyer, who selected the following cast on the basis of tryouts: Aunt Milly, Lucille Hacker: Andy, James Franckeng Mrs. Hardy, Myr- tle Vande Huvel: Judge James Hardy, Mel- vin Milquet: Grandpa Hardy, Kenneth Johnsen: Estelle Hardy Campbell, Florence Leonhardg Marion Hardy, Rita Lee: Wayne Trenton, III, Tim Collerg Mr, Stubbins, Charles Elwellg Myra Hardy Wilcox, Shir- ley Reimer. The plot is concerned with the ambitious daughter of the Hardy's, who has ideas of running for the state legislature. She comes home from school, bringing her fiancee, Wayne Trenton Ill, with her, When Mar- ion finds her father experiencing some diffi- culty in obtaining his reelection to the bench, she becomes his political manager. Her intention of running for the state legis- lature causes a break with Wayne, and in I age Fifty-four the meantime, the Hardy daughters have left their husbands and come home to mother. All this is too much for Mrs. Hardy, who packs up and leaves. From then on things happen fast and furiously, with the daugh- ters attempting to keep house, Aunt Milly and Grandpa giving advice, and Andy, as always, being the typical American boy.

Ch.j Dick Denisson Memories OF Prom Still Remain Despite what you may have heard, the most important question of the year was not, Will President Roosevelt run for a third term? -but, Who will be Prom Queen? Anxiously the news was awaited. Prom King Jim Desnoyers, president of the junior class, was slowly making his decision. Then came the announcement of his choice -Marianne Osen, a sophomore and a mem- ber of the twirling corps! Now that the juniors had a king and queen, the question at hand was that of choosing a suitable setting for the dancers and their reigning royalty. Many decora- tive themes were considered as committee members argued the pros and cons of Ha- waiian. Dutch, and nautical decorations. None of these seemed suitable, however. Fi- nally, an inspiration appeared-a Venetian scene! Immediately the artists of the class set to work making preliminary sketches and plans. Before long the entire decora- tion committee was at work painting sketch- es for the walls. Bright colored gondolas were set afloat in the blue water of Vene- tian canals, Italian fruit venders displayed luscious clusters of bananas, Italian boys serenaded their fair ladies. All of the quaint. appealing atmosphere of old Venice was re- created by the clever use of a paint brush. The addition of a beautiful blue sky com- plete with stars and a moon made an ideal setting for the party. Red Seivers and his orchestra from Min- neapolis, Minnesota, furnished the music for dancing from nine until twelve thirty. The melodius strains of his sweet music alter- nated with the rhythmic tempo of his swing numbers made a pleasing combination which suited the taste of all dancers. At ten thirty the grand march began to make its way down the length of the gym, to the strains of On Wisconsin. Led by King Jim and his queen, Marianne, love- ly in a flowered organdy dress with a very full and graceful skirt, the march included the various class officers with their part- ners, and other members of the student body. As the many couples progressed in order around the gym an extensive array of color was apparent in the attractive dress- es worn by the girls. The juniors as hosts for the year's most important social event, showed themselves to be indeed masters of the art of entertaining and as the final notes of the last piece echoed across the gym, happy juniors said a final and satisfied Fini, to the greatest accom- plishment on their high school social calen- dar, the 1940 Junior Prom. The chaperons for the party were Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Mc Glynn, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Osen, Mr. and Mrs. Francis Desnoyers, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Scott, Mr. and Mrs. Cliff Osen, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Francken, and Mr. and Mrs. Herb J. Smith.
