MR. WALLACE COLE LEONARD BRASCH MR. MYRLON SEIMS FOOTBALL Appleton l-ligh Schools gridmen finished a fairly successful season last fall with a tie for third place in the Fox River Valley Conference. OF the eight games played, the Grange squad lost but two, both conference battles. Green Bay East headed the league standings with five wins and one defeat. This city hasn't seen a championship football squad for many years, however, since the arrival two years ago of Coach Wallace Cole, the team has been noticeably advancing from its usual cellar position. Mr. Myrlon Seims has been of great assistance to Coach Cole especially because of his unusual ability in developing line- men. Last season the boys started slowly but ended with a string of victories to their credit. This season they played a steady brand of ball throughout, and, with fifteen lettermen returning, they give promise of a championship team next fall. Five gridders of this yearis team will be lost by graduation. They are: Captain Leonard Brasch, Milton Arps, Kenneth Buesing, John Dutcher, and Richard Garvey. Captain Brasch led his team superbly. l-lis offensive worlc was outstanding, and his exceptional defensive play made him one of the best ends in the conference and gained for him a position on the first All-conference eleven. Ken Buesing's generalship at quarter- back and Milton Arps' outstanding play in the front line earned for them a position on the second conference squad. Although John Dutcher did not gain a berth on the Conference team, his worlc was noteworthy. l-lis returning of punts netted many extra yards for the team, and he was recognized as one of the conferenceis shiftiest open-field runners. Dick Garvey did not play regularly, but while in action he gained recognition as a very strong defensive end. 'sn

- CLASS CABINETS - ' Class cabinets were originated nine years ago when the members of the faculty felt the necessity for more intense student participation in the class government. Each year the classes at high school are confronted with problems concerning their individual Welfare and success. To solve these difficulties satisfactorily it is necessary to maintain some type of student government which represents each single class. For this purpose the members of the student council, who are elected by their respective classes, form class cabinets. With his election as president of a class a person simultaneously becomes president of the class cabinet. There are no other officers in the cabinets. Responsibilities of each succeeding cabinet increase as the class progresses through high school. The duties of the cabinet cover the many problems directly connected with the class it represents. The most important of these obligations are the nomination of suitable persons for class offices and the arrangement of projects and parties. Appleton l'ligh Schools financial and social results of the majority of class plans, because of the cabinet's work, prove the feasibility of such an organization in our school. The vvork is accomplished through cooperation between the students and class sponsors. Cabinets and sponsors both deserve the pupils, appreciation for their successful accomplishments in the years since the system was established in this high school. 'L CLASS SPONSCDRS - Because of the class sponsors, earnest support in class difficulties, Appleton l-ligh School can boast of a mutual understanding between teachers and pupils. The teachers encourage a spirit of cooperation in the students. Upon this vvork they should be congratulated, for this feeling gives harmony and a moral background to any high school. Without it needless dissensions would constantly arise. Many complications in conducting class projects are avoided by consulting the faculty members, whose duty is to direct practically all class activities. Each student has the privilege of asking the aid of the sponsors of the respective home rooms. from them he will receive all pos- sible information. ln this Way scholars are frequently relieved of the responsibility and anxiety of puzzling situations. The aid is not confined to the class projects but is extended to any confusion which a student may experience. Despite the high schoolfs large attendance the character and personality of every pupil is developed as much as possible. This is fostered by the interest of the teachers. Fevv students fully appreciate the benefits that they derive from the teachers' assistance. If they did, they would exert themselves to make these tasks easier. Nevertheless most students realize that they owe the basis of their educations to the instructors. We wish to express our gratitude for their efforts to make our school careers enjoyable and profitable.
