It was known first as a graded school until a number of years later when it was organ- ized as a high school. The first principal to be engaged was L. L. Williams. During the next Hfteen years L. W. Wood was the presiding principal. Under his guidance in 1880 E. A. I-Iainilton and Killissa Waterbury graduated from high school, the first two to have such honors bestowed upon them. The principals who fell in line next were Messns. Hedler, Shepherd, Banting and Hale. ln 1903 a brick building was erected to replace the old fraime building. For the following ten years L. Cf. Hatch was principal of the school. He was fol- lowed by Mr. Robinson, who served a two-year term. In 1918 B. V. Christenson undertook the position as the first superintendent of the Augusta Puiblic School. The same year the annexes of the high school were built. On May 21, 1921, the building was partly destroyed by fire, the origin being unknown. In 1919 various changes were made in the location of class rooms. Prior to this change the library was located where the text book library is -now'. 'Later on the library was partitioned into two rooms, one room for each respective library. After this the school library was moved wherei the science room was, that being the location of our present library. The science room, in turn, was moved' to the eigihth grade room, and the eighth grade took refuge in the junior assembly. The domestic science room was moved on the first floor to the third grade room. The seventh grade, as a result of this, occupied room in the junior assembly also. In 1923 A. K. -Lyon was engaged as superintendent. He served the scihool success- fully for nine years. Mr. MacLachla'n very capably has coped with the superintendent'-s position the past year. The high school during all these years has taken an active part in all forms of activities-such as music, forensics, and athletics.

The staff is chosen by the faculty advisor, the associate-editor, who is promoted to editor, and the assistant business manager, who becomes the new business manager. It aims to publish a book that will please everyone. Each member of the Beaver Staff has definite duties to perform. It is the duty of the faculty advisor to supervise all of the work done. The editor and assistant editor have to assign work to the staff members, proof read all material and contribute original material. The business manager takes care of all the business affairs of the staff, preparing of budget, which includes plans for financing the book and paying all bills. 'Dhe assistant business manager and advertising manager sell advertisements for the annual. The athletic reporter is kept busy getting reports of the various athletic activities. The editor of the calendar has to keep a record of all the important things that happen during the year. The humor editor should be always on the alert for humorous incidents. The staff artist has to make whatever drawings are called for. The editor of organizations has to get the descriptions and activities of the numerous organizations. The typist has to work very hard to do all the typing required. The feature editor collects snap shots, and clever ideas, for publication. The literary editor encourages literary efforts among the student body and selects suitable stories, poems, and essays for the literary section of the annual. The purpose of the annual is to revive fon'd recollections in the minds of the students in future years. Page Ten Z X M M, Z f' 1.5 A 4 f Q 'Txgx' C 1' 2 I. ff' . 3 'SQ ,VCI X , -Qi, I .

It is courage that drives the smaller boy to his first battle with his bigger rival, and it is this same courage that com- pels him to see it through. Courage is defined as bravery and boldness , and thus it was courage that made the wo1'ld go 'round at the time when knights were bold. Some people have the courage of their con- victions, while others have not. This virtue, I believe, can be cultivated. Moral courage is also a valuable asset, especially in this day and age when everything is fast and furious. You seldom fin'd a person who lacks moral coral cour- age telling the truth when the question of truth or a falsehood may mean either extreme suffer- ing or comparative ease- for the person or persons involved. A good test for courage would be to set before several types of people equally difficult tasks, and to observe just how they go about per- forming them-if at all. Although all these types are desirable, I find myself most lacking the courage to roll out of bed into an unheated room on a twenty-below-zero morning. -DOROTHEA LOUIS f he A 9 my 1 I. 1 iff' :' it ll ti-L, lib , WU W AMX , LJ X1 I Q X wfffgfff ag ' AA!! fffvbbac, R103 MX xivfff 1 A ,X X l ,H'z1'Xi 53' uN H! :ig XR WX st!!-X ' fx -.xx XX, y.'JmmEgyLU7ld1flHl:flHIHIIIHIR -1 X Wu445f,f:f7?3'slE'1-SQ'Wil ,X M ,f Q 43 A ' ' .57 Y' A57 ,kg S f hi Wigs' at 353-Ef5'. f W N Y gg,---fi-JL W A vi, ' f.,?1fWf 1 1: fgQ5?Q55fQ?5VQ?Q53fgf My Wfggfyf gf TQQQXQQQXXH QQWLA N THE BEAVER-1938 ,U ff fffp' 42- ,J l X, 4, .

To test our greenness, we certainly were blessed with it, we were initiated by our rivals on October 1.1. Being greatly alleviated by this event, we studied very diligently for the rest of the year. During our second year, we showed our superiority by initiating the freshmen. Our hospitality was acknowledged a few w-eeks later by a return party. Edwin Moen was chosen as our class president, and, being of the fortunate type, has held the position for the past three y-ears. Our third year was marked with many outstanding events. Our class play, Speeding Along , was presented on March 4, and was a stupendous success. Our Junior Promenade was given on April 303 truly speaking, it was one of the most successful prom.enades ever held at the Augusta High. Much credit for the success of the event may be given to Mr. Deuel, who was our class advisor. Our last year has proved to be the most important of all. Members of our class contributed their part to the various activities, especially to ath- letics. The events of gravest importance were the Junior Promenade, class play, class day and commencement. As members of the class of '33 we have studied very energetically for four years to earn our diploma. It is our aim to use that knowledge which we have obtained in high school to the best of our ability in our future years.

THE BEAVER-1988 Class Will db We, the class of 1933, being of sound mind and body, do make and pub- lish this, our last will and testament. - To the dear faculty, we give many unbroken nights of restful slumber. To the junior class, we leave our dignity, our cherished seats in as- sembly, our ability to be noisy at roll call, our old test papers, themes, and outlines. To the sophomore and freshman classes, we leave our notes, pencil stubs, cuds of gum, candy wrappers that may be left after our departure, and a shining exemplification of good behavior. In thirty-seven distinct parts we do make our will known: I, Aneita Anderson, will an'd bequeath my liking for a certain senior to Mollie Scott. Q I, Marion Artis, will and bequeath my ability to be tardy to Jeannette Rick. I, Earl Balliett, will and bequeath my ability to grow a mustache to Wilmer Feldman. I I, Geraldine Balliett, will and bequeath my ability to concentrate to Marjorie Livermore. I, Lawrence Bann, will and bequeath my ability to stay away from girls to Verne Gilbertson. I, Russell Bartlett, will and bequeath my ability to comprehend Eng- lish Literature to any junior who may need it. I, Clara Boetcher, will and bequeath my interest in out-of-town men to Olive Watenpuhl. I, Frank Brown, will and bequeath my gift of gab to Calvin Neuhaus. I, Doris Carlson, will and bequeath my red hair and pug nose to Norma Yule. We, Avis and Ivis Christy, will and bequeath our athletic ability to Ruth and Helen Erdman, V , ' I, Elizabeth Erdman, will and bequeath my ability to get my short- hand right the first time to Nellie Gilbertson. I, Esther Frink, will and bequeath my raven hair, originality, and ability to use big words to Marshall Blizzard. I, Verna Gonitzke, will and bequeath my ilirtatious ways to Dorothea Louis. I, Alice Hammer, will and bequeath my dainty walk to Earl Kohnke. 1 Continued on Page Fifty-'lhvvoj Page Twenty-Three THE BEAVER-1933 Senior Class Prophecy da It was while walking down Fifth Avenue in New York City that I met a member of the class of '33, Verna Gonitzke. To escape the multitudes of people and to enjoy a conversation, we sought quietness in a little corner tea shop bearing the name Balliett Tea Room. A waitress appeared and after having ordered our menu we agreed that she was none other than Marion Artis. It was hard to recognize her for all her freckles had dis- appeared. We were at liberty to enjoy a conversation now. Verna told me she was attending Columbia University this season, one of her instructors being Esther Frink, Ph. D. Being one of the most popular co-eds she was chosen as queen of the university ball. Ned Horel's Owl Club orchestra was fur- nishing the music. Harew ! Doris Watenpuhl, the famous violinist who broadcasts over station I. C. U. in New York City, is a member of his or- chestra. At this point the proprietoress of the tea shop, Geraldine Balliett, and another young lady, joined us for a tete-e-tete. Indeed, We were nur- prised when Geraldine introduced Alice Hammer to us. Alice, who has grown up somewhat, that is in height, informed us that it was her after- noon off from her duties as bookkeeper of the Sieg and Sieg clothing store in Brooklyn. The owners of the store are Lawrence and Franklin Sieg. While we continued our conversation, Geraldine informed us that Earl was the owner of the largest dairy farm in the State of New York. Evelyn Hanselman and Hank are happily married and are residing at th-e top of the world in a little pent house owned by Russell Bartlett. Elizabeth Erdman and Lorraine Livermore are still very studious. They are famous for their dietetic recipes, which are recommended by Dr. Doris Carlson, the famous doctor who cures all by merely talking. Alyce llliirkham, her head nurse, isnft very successful, all of her patients die from er care. We were interrupted again by a young man who bought in a pamphlet telling of the entertaining features appearing in New Lork's theaters :he coming week. Irvin Johnson admitted it was easy Work. Upon glancing through the pamphlet we saw Aneita Anderson's pic- ture. She was appearing in Sweeter Than Honey at the Grand Theater. Her lovely soprano voice has won her considerable success with her theat- rical manager, Robert Moen. The same evening Elizabeth Scott was presenting two of her pupils of the Scott Dancing School in a dance review. Lorella Roseneau, who has been specializing in tap dancing, and Clara Boetcher, who has been special- izing in clogging, are the two pupils. Lois Hyslop entered the shop and was surprised to see all the familiar faces. Lois operates a beauty shop two blocks from the tea shop. One of her Page Twenty-Four THE BEAVER-1983 patrons is Ethel Wilkinson, the designer of the frocks worn by actresses of the Grand Theater. Because of the fact that she is a very good friend of the manager, her shop ls very well patronized. We spent the remainder of the afternoon at a football game in the big city. Ed Moen's All Star Eleven was playing with Harvard. With Ru- dolph Von Haden as center the team was victorious, the score being 50-0 in New Yorkis favor. While in attendance at the game We met George Albert Hammer, John Rockwell, Clarence Rugotzke and Frank Brown. George told us he was the owner of a law office in Albany. During the past week he had defended six divorce cases, the women being victorious in each case. One of the cases called was that cheerleader from Black River Falls, Wisconsin. John has as his motto, Never let work interfere with play . He enjoys a game of golf every afternoon at Robert Harden's Albany Golf Course. Clarence was wearing a derby and a monicle and was walking with the aid of a cane. Ah, he is the president of The First National Bank in New York City. Frank is enjoying a month's vacation from his task of ministering to this jazz world. These young men informed us that E1-dora Johnson is enjoying the Washington society. Her husband is Postmaster General in the President's cabinet. Lawrence Banu is also in Washington. He is tlhe senator from Wisconsin. . Roy Lange and Avis and Ivis Christy remained in Wisconsin to enjoy the solitude and bliss of home life. Roy is president of the Farmers' Union of Augusta, Wisconsin. Avis and Ivis are both rural school teachers, the former teaching at Price and the latter at Rod-ell. CJ Class Song da We're loyal to you, Augusta High, .For we know you are ou-t to do or die. U You never will stop till you reach the tip-top, You will go till you drop, Augusta High. Rah! R-ah! Carry on as you have in days of yoreg Live up to the grads gone before! You sure are the best of all, In spring, summer, winter, fallg We'1e loyal to you, Augusta High.

Jack and Luke, two happy-go-lucky college youths, conceive the brilliant idea of dressing up their chum. Jerry as a woman and entering him into a national beauty contest, not only to win the prize money but to launch the sale of a beauty clay which Jack has concocted. So Jerry, who is clever at female impersonation, enters upon a wild and perilous career asia professional beauty and posing as Luke's sister, soon has the trio in hot water up to their-ears. Descending upon the summer home of Jack's uncle, a manufacturer of cosmeticsk to whom Jack hopes to sell his beauty clayg the boys stumble into an impromtu house party that turns out to be a wasp's nest. They m-eet a theatrical magnate who promptly falls in love with the masquerading Jerry, whereas that harassed youth has lost Qhis heart to 5jIack's sister, who is impersonating a maid. The ridiculous :tangle is eventually straightened out, but not until the audience have laughed themselves sick over the absurd situations and wise-cracking speeches. Other good roles are a poetic henpecked capitalist, his snobbish wife, a forlorn maid, and a lisping ingenue. Page 'Pwefnty-Six ara, MMU? K. tjgWjl!9MfVJ5'L'fQMM.,zJ'44,,f jdfv 19 WW! Wwafwbfl www!

The cords attaching the wagon to the star were green and white. Our driver was Mollie Scott, and her assistants were Vernon Smith, Jeanette Rick, and Robert Rose. Although we were intent on the' more serious part of our journey, we paused along the way for several parties. The first goal set for us was reached after nine months of both smooth and rough journeying. The second lapse of our journey was rather uneventful, except for the usual parties. lWe did not distinguish ourselves in any way during this term, although several of our members took part in the athletic and forensic contests. Our colors were changed to ivory and jade green, with the sweet pea as our flower. Janette Rick was chosen to be our driver and June Erdman, Olive Watenpuhl and Bessie Young were her right- hand men. Now, in the third lapse of our journey, we commence to make our presence felt. Several of our boys are on the basketball squad. We also lead in scholarship, for our ivory and green pennant, bearing the beaver emblem, has graced the front of the assembly all year. Again Jean-ette Rick leads us, assisted by Dorothy Louis, Olive Watenpuhl, and Verne Gilbertson. Our number, however, has dwindled down to twenty-three. Page Twventy-Nine THE BEAVER-1938 MARSHALL W.

Junior Class Play- Girl Shy de The plot is chiefly concerned with the affairs of Tom Arsdale in finding a fiance-'apparently for pretense only but proving to be an actual situation. lt is graduation time at a popular college. Tom's room-mate, Oke Stimson, is invaluable in solving the perplexities of his girl-shy pal. His amusing antics as God's gift to women and official advisor to young damsels in distress brought gales of laughter from ap- appreciative audience. The dean of the college and his pursuit for Aunt Caroline were hilariously normal. Both characters were excellently portrayed. Peaches is a flippant, happy-go-lucky, modern young thing of seventeen. She is a real match for .Oke and her inquisitive nature result- ed in the solution of the plot. Tom's father, Mr. Arsdale, admits that he is not such a good wife picker and gives his blessing to his son and Babs Sanford who very cleverly deceived everyone but Peaches as a cleaning lady-just until Birdie comes back. She takes the position as profession- al cleaner and successfully vamps Tom. Birdie induced roars of enjoy- ment from the audience with her movie aspirations and su'ddenly acquired accent when she putt on airs after her screen test. The class poet finds Sylvia Webster a fascinating young lady an-d an inspiration for his dra- matic poems. Asma, the colored wash-lady, provoked a tempest of merri- ment with her darky' comedy and negro dialect. Chuck Mayo was an ad- mirable villain but found Sylvia a little Wildcat when trying to kidnap his old girl--Birdie Laverne. Finally, Tom forgot he was girl-shy and Ok-e proclaimed- Nobody girl-shy here! The play was presented at the Augusta Opera House on Fri-day even- ing, March 31, before a full house. Miss Krenz directed it.

Page Tfhirty-Seven THE BEAVER--1933 Notllyloth Balls? up . .lr I We learned in biology that an effective way to prevent moths from doing damage was to put the furniture they infested in cold storage. Sudden changes in temperature successfully killed the moths. The class- rooms of the Augusta High School in winter would, I am inclined to be- lieve, kill moths very nicely. One week the algebra class compared the temperatures of two rooms. In the science room the range of temper- ature was only 1715 degrees, while in the senior assembly it was 40 degrees. The highest temperature in the assembly wasu 78 degrees, it wasn't a fair trial, because one of the leading spirits placed a match below the thermometer. When the students change from one room to another, the first five minutes are spent in raising goose pimples or windows. There is never an ill wind that blows no one any good, and the situation makes the pupils more gratified to each other when they find themselves sitting in a seat which some kind person has warmed for them. I think less time would be wasted and more students comfortable in our school if the class rooms and assembly halls were uniformly heated. The teachers can not blame students who object to being treated like moths. BEULAH FLANDERS G Value ln a Practical Joke da Value is defined as esteem or appreciation as well as worth to an in- dividual or something equaled to being prized. Practical, in addition to meaning capable of being useful, means applying a knowledge to practice. Therefore, value or appreciation of a knowledge in practice is shown in this little short story illustration: A man, Mr. Jones, had a rather large standing bill for credit at a grocery store. After spending a lot of time in sending bills and awaiting results, the grocer called personally at the home of the man- who owed him. Mr. Jones,f' he said, I want you to pay your bill immediately. To help you do this, l will meet you half way. I will decrease the amount of your bill fifty per cent. In other words, your bill is one-half as large as it was a few minutes ago. After looking at his liberal friend, in an unbelieving manner for a few minutes, Mr. Jones replied, Oh, thank you, sir. I will be glad to go the other half of the way and we will call it square. He then left whistling a tune a quarter of a century old. To this man, the joke was a practical value. To the other-practical- ly useless! ADELINE MOORE Page Thirty-Eight WIA W X' fm, Wy , ,x .

Letter Club de The Augusta ,High School Letter A Club was organized in 1924, by members of the boys athletic teams, to encourage good sportsmanship and clean athletics. Among the charter members are Leonard Bush, Donald Eaton, Raymond Eilert, Francis Herrell, Tom Howard, Ross Miller, Lyle Newhouse, Bruno Rosentreter, Art Shadler and Jack Vinopal. Since the clubfs organization in 1924, membership in it has been the goal of every athlete in school, with the result at present the club's roster numbers 69 names. To become eligible for membership, an athlete must win a letter A in competition in a major sport, football, basketball, or track. Thus, also, election of captains for the various teams each year is one of the principal functions of the club. This is done at the annual feeds, held in the spring, when new members are also initiated. The 1932-1933 president of the club is Ed Moen. Ql Newspaper da The members of the senior class this year have constituted what was known as a newspaper staff. With Eldora Johnson, who has acted as editor-in-chief, and Alice Hammer as assistant editor, a resume of the school news has appeared weekly in the Augusta Union. Each week eleven persons were elected as reporters to collect the news from the various classes, organizations, and grades. Much credit is due Clara Boetcher who has given her time to the duty of typing the news. Then too, without the unexcelled help of Miss Winnick, the news colunm would have suffered severely. Although many hardships have been encountered. the newspaper staff surived and is none the worse for its efforts. Page Forty--One THE BEAVER-l983 Girls' Glee Club de The Glee Club's first meeting was held on November 3, 1932. There was a large turn out. We decided to meet on every' Tuesday for practice. The meetings of the Glee Club are informal and we all manage to sing the songs we like. We obtained enough practice, nevertheless, to appear on the P. T. A.'s Christmas program, and we believe everyone present en- joyed our singing. Bonnie Monroe is president, and Doris Ca1'lson is vice-president. QI Orchestra de THE MEMBERS ARE Comets: Roy Lange and John Rockwell Saxophone, Olive Watenpuhl Slide Trombone: Harry Ringhand Violins: Doris Watenpuhl, Alice Hammer, Geneva Erdman, Orrin Zebarth and Genevieve Scott Drums: Robert and Margaret Harden Piano: June Erdman, Jeanette Rick and Ned Horel. At the beginning of the year those individuals who were interested in a musical enterprise organized anal became members of the high school orchestra. In keeping with the times, the following oflicers were elected: Doris Watenpuhl, president, Jeanette Rick, vice-presidentg Olive Watenpuhl, secretary and treasurer. The last period in the afternoon on Mondays and Thursdays was devoted to rehearsal. The orchestra has progressed rapidly during the course of the year. Much of its success is due to its most capable instructor, Mr. Brendemuehl. The orchestra has appeared on assembly programs, several P. T. A programs, and has played during the intermission at the junior and senior class plays, and will play for Commencement. Page Forty-Two THE BEAVER-1988 Girl Scouts dr Have you a speaking acquaintance with the Girl Scouts? Of course, it is a foolish question to ask, because who hasn't in these twenty-one years of our scouting? Uninformed people are inclined to look at us as an organization governed by something similar to military discipline. As is often the case, causual public opinion is wrong. In simple words our scout platform consists of two equally simple planks -they being to get the most enjoyment out of practically nothing and to do the greatest amount of work with the most enjoyment and the least effort. And scouts do get enjoyment. This isn't an advertisement for new members, but whether you use ofiicially a member or not, you will find yourself unconscientiously follow- ing the road which the American Girl Scouts are putting into constant practice. It is human nature for people to enjoy themselves, and we believe in human nature. Cl School Carnival dr Many entertaining features appeared at the school carnival which was held November 18. School was dismissed in the afternoon giving those students who wished to attend an opportunity to do so. A main show was presented in the afternoon and evening in the senior high school assembly by the three upper classes which consisted of one-act playlets-namely The Assessor, Fame, A Demonstration, and Three Potatoes for Mary. Besides the main show a clever play was given by the students of the grades, and an athletic. show was given in the library. Many of the people turned their attention to the ever famous bingo, spill the milk, and the faculty' take-off stands. The mysterious Ipta surprised everyone by saying it pays to advertise. The esthetic dancers arrayed in their green and white costumes were particularily appealing. The remainingtpart of the evening was spent in the gymnasium dancing to Andy R1ck's orchestra. The Beaver Staff awarded a prize to the junior class, which had a candy and popcorn stand, for making the most money. A secon-d prize was awarded to the eighth grade, which had a novelty stand. The carnival of 1932 was one of the most successful ever given at the Augusta High School. The Beaver Stai received much praise from the Merry Makers who attended the Carnival. Page Forty-Three f 0-1014, 54 P I 93 ' F r nsi The declamatory and oratori contests ere held Tuesday evenng,,.April 11, at the high school. Those present e ed eve bit of t evening.

The declamatory contest was welcomed as a bit of entertainment after the grave problems which were presented in the oratorical contest. The honors of this contest were won by Adeline Moore, first, who presented The Silver Lining , Dorothea Louis, second, Gretna Green g Rchard Zank, third, George 4Si1oloquy , and Jane Campbell, fourth, The ,Boarding House Keeper. Other contestants deserve honorable mention. They and their selections follow: Dorothy Hall, Peter and the Angels , tMargaret Ziehlsdorff, The 'Cop and the Anthems , Vera Bradshaw, An Unfinished Story , and Bessie Young, The Romance of a Busy Broker . On Friday of the next week, the extemporaneofus reading contest was held in the Junior Assembly. Eleven people entered the contestg those who won places were: ,Ad- eline Moore, reading from The Redgheaded League , finst and Inez Mork, second who read from Dream Children . Gther readers and their selections were: Jeanette Rick, Calvin g John Rockwell, Sha:n g Dorothea Louis, The Third Ingredilentvg Richard 'Zank, Pendulum g Vera Brads-haw, Dr, Hiedege-r's Exrperimentng Jane Campbell, Silas Marner g ,Bessie Young, The lPurloined Letter g and Ruth Erdman, Drownes Wooden Image. Adeline Moore w'on second place at the league contest reading from Sky-Camps. Dayle Balliett and John Rockwell represented the school in extemporaneous speak- ing. Considerable study was required to prepare for this entry. Both received places in the league contest held at Durand on April 25. The former won first on the topic Southern Europe, the Powder House of the Continent and the latter won third place. John's topic was The American Banking Situation . Although Augusta was unable to win the loving cup this year, the participants are to be recognized as worthy of distinction. The value of Forensics can not be ex- actly determined but the values to those taking part are unlimited. The final event of the school's forensic year occured, on April 29, 1933, when Dayle Balliett appeared at Eau Claire as our representative in the District Contest, in extem- poraneous speaking. At Eau 'Claire Dayle spoke on the subject, Japan and China at the Great Wall'. Our school was privileged to appear at Eau Claire by virtue of having won first in that event in the league contest at Duran-d. QP Thrixey Ho! One of the neatest ways of rememrberinrg things is by associations and mermory tricks. I can often remember wrong uses for words, punctuation and etc., better than correct ones-for instance, the traditional owl calls To-to-Whit., to-o-whit, to-o-'w1lro, and by mental telegraphy I correct him with to-whom. Spelling! Words can't express it, and tricks can't impress it. Franklin said, We must all hang separately. I can't agree with Webster, Winston, and the rest of the world. Consequently fmispelled words are weaving a. rope that will hang me on a gall-ows shaped F. It is inevitableg dictionaries are often absent, memory tricks for foo few, and the rope lightens.

A. team by a score of 19 to 12. The first half ended with Augusta leading by an 8 to 4 score. The defensive play in the first half was excellent. In the second half the age and experience of the Y team began to tell and they gradually' forged ahead. AUGUSTA 11- NEILLSVILLE 20 Augusta played its second game at Neillsville. The teams were very evenly matched, and the first half ended with an 8 to 9 score in favor of Neillsvillc. The loss of Ed at the close of the first half made a great deal of difference in the game. At the second half Neillsville had the advant- age of taller men and their own floor to play on. The game ended with Neillsville winning with a 20 to 11 score. AUGUSTA 21-ALTOONA 17 Augusta won its first conference game with Altoona here by a score of 21 to 17. Augusta showed unexpected defensive strength and had the passing offense of Altoona completely covered. During the last few minutes of play Altoona was furiously bombarding their basket in an ef- fort to score, but the game ended and the Beavers were in the lead. AUGUSTA 28-VOSSEO 20 Augusta won its second conference game by defeating the strong Osseo team with a score of 28 to 20. Osseo started out with a bang, and Page Forty-Scveu THE BEAVER-1938 had a five point lea-d at the quarter and three point lead at the half. How- ever, in the second half the Beaver defens-e completely bottled up the Osseo offense, and the boys scored again and again. The team cooperated perfectly and every member scored. AUGUSTA 13-FALL CREEK 30 Augusta lost to Fall Creek on Friday, the thirteenth, by a score of 30 to 13. The thirteenth certainly was an unlucky day for Augusta. The boys put up a good hard fight, but Fall Creek played better ball. The ability of the Crickets to make easy set-up shots and the narrowness of the hall contributed materially to the defeat of the Beavers. The coach made frequent substitutions near the end and gave all the boys a chance to play. AUGUSTA 13-ELK MOUND 29 Elk Mound virtually ran away with Augusta and defeated them by a score of 29 to 13. Ineffectual defense and inability to sink their shots lost the game for the Beavers. The fact that Eid was slowed up because of an infected foot helped the Elk Mound team to break through the defense. At the same time, however, the Beavers had little trouble in breaking through the Elk Mound defense for shot after shot, only to miss them all. AUGUSTA 14-ALTOONA 32 Augusta lost to Altoona by a score of 32 to 14. The defeat was due largely to the fact that the team was not able to sink their shots. The short floor fooled the boys much more than did the slipperiness. This handicap to Augusta enabled Altoona to shoot over our defense and score. The Augusta defense was strong and Altoona was able to penetrate it only four times. Altoona ma'de most of their baskets from the center of the fioor. AUGUSTA 16-OSSEO 25 Augusta was defeated by Osseo on 0sseo's fioor by a 25 to 16 score. In the first half the Beaver defense was decidedly weak. The second half, however, the team had the Osseo offense stopped until Ed went out on four personals. Osseo functioned rapidly enough after that to get three baskets before the Beavers could get organized again to stop the drive. AUGUSTA 12-BLACK RIVER 20 Augusta lost a non-conference game to Black River by a score of 20 to 12. The Beavers were clearly out-scored and out-played in the first half. The half finisheld with Black River leading with a score of 13 to 2. The second half the Beavers came back with a fight that out-scored the Black River boys by 10 to 7. The lead, however, was too great and the game ended with Black River on the long end of the score. AU'GU'STA 27-FALL CREEK 31 Fall Creek defeated Augusta in a hard, fast game by a score of 31 to 27. The Beavers took the lead and held it until the final quarter. In the final quarter Fall Creek located the baskets enough tim-es to cinch the game. It was any one's game right up to the finishg a thriller to win and a 'hard one to lose. The Beavers played the best game and put forth the Page Forty-Eight THE BEAVER-1988 finest team work of the season. AUGUSTA 14-ELK MOUND 24 Augusta lost its last conference game to Elk Mound by a 24 to 14 score. The inability to hit the basket lost the Beavers the game. The first game was a toss-up between the Osseo B squad and the Bees, Some of the squad were sick, and Osseo won 13 to 152 in an over- time period. AUGUSTA 14-NEILIJSVILLE 30 Augusta finished its basket ball season losing to Neillsville 30 to 14. Neillsville's size was the main cause of the defeat. The boys had several chances to score, but the ol-d trouble, the inability to cash in on scoring, lasted right up to the last. The boys finished at the bottom of the con- ference this year, but they have splendid opportunities for next year with Balliet, Howard, Bush, Thiel, Gilbertson, Lundgren and Blizzard of the lettermen back. de Summary of the Season .Dates Opponents Opponefnt's Sccire Augusta's Score November 29, 1932-Eau Claire Y.

First, to the pupil it serves as a .recommendation when .securing a positi-on. -Besides each 'raduate's picture is the name of the swbjects 'he specialized in. There is also a maxim concerning' this pupil which gives a fair idea of his character. lS6'C0fI1ld, the annual serves as an autograph albuwm. -One can always see pupils gathered in the library, when annuals are rfirst dis- tributed, thinking very hard of something different to write in each one. As for the teacher, it is a memory hook. For instance, if she hears of someone who has become famous and the name sounds familiar, she will look in her annual. To her surprise, she will see that he had lbeen in her English class. Of course she feels proud to think she had corrected hi.m when he said, He don'd:gL instead of He doesn't. Possibly because of this correction he learned to use better English, which aided him in be- coming famous. 'Dhe parents who have children going to school should be interested in the annual. It freshens their memories as to the school activities. .Many annuals have alumni notes. This serves as a guide to parents to wish to know when someone graduated and where he is living at the present time. Therefore, I think the a.nnual is very valuable to the pupil!-s, the teachers, and the parents. DORIS KIRKHAM Page Forty-Nine THE BEAVER-1938 B Team de Last fall several boys reported for basket ball practice. After the selection of the first team, the following boys were selected for the B squad: Martin Gilbertson, James Green, Wilmer Feldman, Gerald Osborne, Robert Rose and Owen Zank. Marshall Blizzard, Robert Harden, and John Rockwell played with the B team part of the time. These boys played four games--winning two and losing two. When the Bees went to Fall Creek, they were again defeated. They took the lead at the beginning but were soon trauing. It ended in a 20 to 11 loss for the Bees. The boys journeyed to Osseo for a return game and brought home the bacon by a score of 19 to 7. Jim Green was outstanding on offense for the Bees, The season ended with a victory for the Bees. They defeated the Fall Creek B squad in a fast, exciting game by a score of 13 to 12. Harden sank a free throw in the last minute of play to cinch the game. The Bees should help to make a conference winning team out of the Beavers in coming years. 4 Girls' Basketball de A group of twenty girls came out for basketball this year. Two teams were organized and had their practices Wednesday after school. Seeing most of our basketball enthusiasts were from the Sophomore and Senior classes, these two groups completed at two preliminaries. These games proved to be very interesting, the Sophomores, however, were credited with the highest score at each game. The two teams consisted of the following people: SOPHOMORES- SENIORS- Margaret Harden fcaptainj Geraldine Balliet Qcaptainj Inez Mork Avis Christy Ardyth Derry Ivis Christy Laura Halbert Marion Artis June Scott Elizabeth Scott Betty Probst Elaine Green Dorothy Hall Paige Fifty TI-IE BEAVER-1983 The Tournament Well, to stazt at the beginning, the tournament was wrelcome in more waiswthan one. lSchool was dismissed an hour earlier, which agreed with everyone, ause those who didn't go, loved their leisure, and those who' did wanted to -be relieved of the suspense. Everyone was therefore satisfied, peippy and eager to begin the fray, from the beginning relay to the last basket lball game. The noise of the battle nearly raised the roof and the playing wvas just as snappy. too. The hand, said E. K. Lund, if you remember his talk here at school one year, is not quicker than the eye. 'True or not, the basket lballl teams tried to prove it wrong in the tournament-not so mulch among the girls because quite a' few were busy being more or less laid up, but the boys didn't let anything iiow under their feet. Tug-of-war! Why, the rope had so much strain put upon it that the poor thing finally just gave up the struggle! The entire tournament was tremendously enter- taining, but it had its humorous breaks, to-o. The aforeqmentioned rope, for instance. 'llhe winners of the three-legged race ,proved that cooperation begins in the hofme. Altogether, the tournament proved to be an enjoy-able way of getting rid of a lot of pent-mp enthusiasm which failed to be exercised in the regular run of things. :Seniors Juniors Sophmores Freshmen 'Zth Ez 8th EVEN'DS Boys Girls Boys Girls Boys Girls Boys Girls'Boys Girls Relay Races 10 8 6 2 N 4 10 8 4 2 6 Cihinning 3 5 5 4 2 3 4 0 2 2 Basket Ball Relay 10 10 5 7 8 7 5 4 2 2 Knee Throw 3 5 5 25- 3 4 1 25 3 1 Tug of iVar 12 8 8 12 10 4 6 10 4 6 Sack Race 1 5 3 1 2 2 5 3 4 4 Three legged race 2 6 45 2 6 3 45 5 3 4 Wheelbarrow race 6 6 2 3 3 2 5 4 4 5 Team knee Throw 8 9 2 9 4 5 10 2 6 5 Basket Ball 20 15 15 20 25 25 10 5 5 10 TOTALS 75 x 77 i555 14625 67 x 65 B85 x 395 35 x 45 TOTALS 152 118 132 98 80 TICKET SALES 10 25 5 20 15 100 95 SALES 0 15 0 0 0 TOTALS 162 157 137 126 95 Page Fifty-One THE BEAVER-1988 Class Will df 1Continfued from Page Twenty-Three!

Page Fifty-Two 1 , . ff? f 121- gi' 'Q j FEATURES I . i THE BEAVER-1988 Social de JUNIOR-SENIOR PROMENADE On Saturday evening, April twenty-fourth 1932 at 6:30, the junior class had a reception in honor of the senior class. There was a large attendance consisting of the members of the Board of Education, the members of the faculty, and the junior and senior classes. The hall was cleverly decorated in jade green and white, the senior class colors, and yellow and blue, the junior class colors. Tall, dripless candles and fragrant bouquets of sweet peas lent grace and beauty to the well-set table, and we ate to the lilting strains of Jerry Bower's Rythm Kings Orchestra. The menu consisted of fruit cocktail, salad, minced chicken rosettees, mashed potatoes with chicken gravy, buttered peas, rolls, green and white brick ice cream with angel food cake, and coffee. The waitresses were sophomore girls who wore black dresses and white aprons and caps. Their work was as systematic as a clock, an'd the dinner was an unequalled success. A toast of welcome was given by Robert Moen. Other entertaining speakers of the evening were Albert Johnson, the senior class president, Esther Frink, Mrs. Belisle, Leonard Scheel, and Edwin Moen, the junior class president. At nine o'clock everyone adjourned to the gymnasium where the re- mainder of the evening was spent in promenading. This room was equally beautiful in its colorful array' of balloons and crepe paper stream- ers. Edwin Moen anfd Esther Knuth led the Grand lVIarch. The evening was spent in dancing and card playing. At twelve o'clock the guests de- parted and pronounced the evening the greatest social event that they had dv FRESHMAN PARTY The Freshmen Return Party was held at the school house on the even- ing of October 21 in the gymnasium at 8 o'clock. known during the year. For entertainment there was music for dancing, consisting of piano and violin and cards for others. The members of the entertainment com- mittee were Helen Carlson, Thora Rose and Allan Scott. Refreshments were served cafateria style for the students, and tables were set for the faculty memebrs present. Members of the refreshment com'mittee were Norma Craker and Eileen Rick. Page Fifty-Five THE BEAVER-1933 Seventh Grade Party ch The seventh grade enjoyed a costume party in the gymnasium on October 28. Allan McDonell received the prize for wearing the funniest costume. The evening was spent in playing games. Lunch was served at 9 o'clock. Mmes. Ben Johnson and McDonell were guests. 41 Eighth Grade Parties da We enjoyed our first party in the gymnasium Tuesday evening, October 18. Those that were present drew cards which designated to which political party they belonged-Republican, Socialist, or Democratic. There were numbers on the cards. One person from each group did stunts. At the close of the party the members of each political party sang a song. The Democratic party proved to be the best singers and were awarded a bag of peanuts as a prize. Refreshments were serv-ed at 9 o'clock in the domestic science room. Our second party was held in the library Thursday evening, December 15. The party was sponsored by the elephants, who were the losers in a contest held to see which side, the donkeys or the elephants, would re- ceive the most class dues. Games were played, and Christmas gifts were exchanged. The refreshments were served by the committee at 9 o'clock in the domestic science room. The freshmen class enjoyed a dancing party in the 'gymnasium Friday evening, March 17. The music was furnisihed by Rmgigles Monroe, who played the piano, and Robert and Margaret Harden, who played. the drums. At a later hour refreshments were served. 0 MATLNEE DANCEIS School was dismissed at 2:50 Friday afternoon, December 23, to give the student body an opportunity to enjoy its first matinee dance in the gymnasium. The music was furnished by the: high school orchestra, Miss Neinas, and Mir. Brendemuehl. Several members of the Alumni were guests. Lastly we appreciated the Christmas gift. The second of matinee dances was held in the gymnasium March 10. Dancing was enjoyed from 3:50 until 5:00 when the strains of Home Sweet Home were played. With Miss Neinas as pianist and Mr. Brendemuehl as violinist the music was enjoyed to the fullest extent. Page Fifty-Six I THE BEAVER-1933 I ge Flf THE BEAVER-1933 The Wanderer de Rex, the scrub collie, wandered from place to place, not knowing just exactly where to stop next. The dog had a peculiar habit of sleeping in some shed during the night, rising with the sun, and again leisurely wandering over the country-side. . Night was closing in on him, and no shelter in sight, but over that hill and a little to the right there was a light. In his dog mind he figured h-e could very easily shorten that journey by' taking a short .cut through the woods that skirted the highway. Entirely unfamiliar with the woods and with human nature itself, he caught his right paw in a trap. D Bearing no pity whatsoever to himself, with all his mighty strength he tried to es- cape the enormous teeth of the trap. Whoever could play such a cheap and dirty trick on a dumb animal? Not being able to solve that question and thoroughly infuriated with himself, for falling into the claws of mankind, he gave one fierce wrench, and he was free. His paw was paining him, but by exerting all his reserve strength he finally reached one of the buildings. Certainly he could not take his pick from all these buildings. Why do people have so many sheds, barns, and what not to torture the one who most needs a place to sleep. He chose a secluded corner in the far end of the shed and before going to sleep from pure exhaustion, he pictured the barn which lay before him with his sharp, penetrating eyes. Not bad, at that! With that thought in mind, he went to sleep even though his paw was trying its best to keep him awake. The following morning, he was awakened by the squeaking and screeching of the door as it was being opened. Forgetting his paw for a minute and only thinking of the danger of being found, he scrambled to his feet only to groan and fall back in his former position. Evidently he must have attracted some attention, for a voice called out who was there. Rex didn't make a sound, but the owner of that voice wasn't at all satisfied with the silence and took to exploring the barn. With a start of surprise and amazement, and with a look of pity in his eyes, he discovered Rex. Never before had Rex seen a man who would help instead of hinder an in- jured dog. But this man seemed different. Rex did not know whether to obey the challenge in the man's eyes or not. Unfiinching from the long look of pity and wonderment in the man's gray-green eyes, Rex finally decided to subject himself to his ministrations, whether they be for the better or for the worse. A week passed and Rex was again able to wander as he choose. But a change had come over the dog. To be sure, he meandered at will over the country, but he always came back to the manor when he was tired, hungry, or lonesome. In the evenings he would rest luxuriously before the lireplace while his master and friend would sit watching the flames. as they surged up the massive chimney. Sometimes he would talk to the dog as he would to another human being and would wait for the dog to give his acknowledging wag of the tail or little bark. At these times Rex was very mrcn pleased, because he was quite sure he understood his master and could sympathize with him. Rex hated to see the coming of spring, because he had always loved to Page Fifty-Eight THE BEAVER-1933 romp through the snow on his daily trips about the imanor. But this morning he just seemed glad to be alive despite the disappearance of the snow, anld for that reason set out on a longer tour. His path led him be- side a country road, little used by non-residents of the community about him. As he trotted along with his head held high, his nose and eyes were ready to take in any peculiar or unusual scent and appearanc-e. Suddenly he halted gazing ahead of him. For a full minute he stood, scarcely moving a limb. Ahead of him a girl lay face down on the ground. Cautiously, Rex crept closer. His own instinct told him that something was radically' wrong, but what it was he could not tell. The gir1's arm was badly bruised and cut, and the dog, thinking it would help the wound, started licking it with his great lapping tongue. There was no stir or movement in the girl's body, and Rex was thoroughly puzzled. Probably his master would know what to do. If he hafd been kind enough to care for a strange dog's paw when he had stepped into the trap, why wouldn't he help this girl regain her strength? And still the girl didn't move. Rex turned on his heel, retracted his steps, and Went in search of his master. Making his master understand was quite another story. Rex found him in usual position deep in thought. The dog went up to him, laid his head on his master's knee and gave a soft bark. The man looked at the dog but did not and could not read the dog's mind. Rex did not know what to do, and all the time, a picture of that girl lying in the road was on his mind. He took his head from his master's knee, barked, and ran to the door-all to no avail. He repeated the process several times until finally the man got up and went to the door. Immediately Rex started on through the next room and out of the house barking as he went. Master and dog made their way through the slush and water, which is characteris- tic of the month of March. Sev-eral times the man was tempted to turn back, but always the dog lured him on. At the end of a ten minute's brisk walk, the dog stopped by the side of the girl who still lay motionless. His master seeing him stop so suddenly came hurryying on. A few feet from the two he stopped frozen in his tracks, and stared at the girl lying in the path. Then a cry escaped his lips, and he rushed to her side. Incoherently he kept muttering, Betty- my getty-she cam-e back. Over and over again he would say these wor s. . And all the while he was working trying to bring her back to con- clousness. Picking her up, he carried her back to the house. Rex, re- joicing that now he had paid his master back for his kindness, ran on ahead of th-e happy man. ELDORA Jo,HNsoN ' U There's One Like Him in Every Class da There is one like him in every class. It .affords the schololrs mulch amusement to have a, pupil come into the class room ten or fifteen minutes late. Usually he csmes rushing into the room, and to his astonislhment finds the class just finishing ri test. Nevertheless, he must stop to adjust his tie, smooth his already much combed hair, and finally succeed in falling into his seat. Seizing one book after another he choses Page Fifity-Nine TI-IE BEAVER-1938 the one he uses as a paper holden and takes out 'a folded paper in time to answer the last question. DORIS KIRKHAM G HIP! The small word with a .big meaning -this is the name' given to one of our En-glish words commonly known as if. Let us summarize a few of its many uses. First, we will -start at school. The student is sometimes made happy an-d sometimes made blue. If he gets his work done, and done well, he will pass. If he does not he will fail. If he obeys the teacher, she will make his studies more interestin-g and easier. Second, let us go to the house Wife. She will have veal for suipper if the meat market happens to have it. Third, the meat market will have veal for the house wife if the farmer has time to bring any to town. Fourth, in every day life if a person is honest, loyal, courageous and can be depended upon and is a boom and not a liability to a community he will be well thought of. If he is just the opposite, people will think just the opposite of him. Fifth, if also plays a part in life and death. Slay a person has been in an auto- mobile accident and was hurt quite badly. Tlhe doctor might say, If he is not hurt internally he will live. So you see If can stand for aim-ost everything. Q Up Where the North Begins Oh, give me the tang of the bracing air, The woods, the trees, the tall pines there The babbling brooks, with their speckled trout, Lakes teeming with fish, Indians mapping about The bounding deer, and the scenery grand Mirrored in lakes with si-lvery sand All these are singing Natureks hymns Up where the North begins. JOE HOWARD ESTHER FRIN K 4 Prairie Night I long for the open spaces Where my soiul can range as a lark, To sleep amid the fragrant grasses By the light of the -f'irefly's spark To wake and dream beneath the starshine And watch it fade with the dawn W-hen the lovely bioidered curtain Of the prairie night is drawn.

Mr. and Mrs. Cam-eron were a real old couple who lived in a large rambling house back off the road about a quarter of a mile. The buildings were located in the center of a large grove which made the house dark inside earlier at night an'd later in the morning than in most houses. These old folks weren't any relation to the Lenoir's but everybody called them uncle and aunt, because they were so kind to everyone. Marian had not reached their yard when it started to rain. Faster and faster it fell, and faster and faster her feet flew. Sh-e ran upon the porch, her cheeks flaming red, and her hair more curly than when she had left home. Aunt Belle came to the door looking very prim anld neat in her white, starched apron. Land sakes, child, what are you doing out in such weather as this? Come right in. Harvey and I were just playing checkers to pass the time away. Marian stated her errand, but she could not return home, for the weather continued to get worse. The wind blew, the lightening flashed, the thunder roared, and the rain seemed to descenfd in sheets. I see where we'll have company tonight, eh, Belle? said Harvey in his jocular manner. We al'ays have an extra bed made up for anyone who'll stay with us. Thank you, uncle Harvey, said Marian. I know mother won't worry if she knows I'm with you folks. That evening Uncle Harvey began to relate stories of by gone days Many of them were blood curdling, and as bed time drew near Marian's spirit began to quake at the thought of retiring alone. However, she didn't say a word, for she didn't want them to think she thought they harbored spooks in their chamber. Ten o'clock came, and the storm had abated somewhat. Aunt Belle produced a candle and, kissing Marian good night, told her what room she was to sleep in. When Marian opened her door, she stepped in very quickly and closed it behind her to make sure nothing else had entered. She looked under the bed and behind every article in the room, to make sure there was nothing there to carry her away while she slept. Shivering she undressed, blew out the light, and jumping into bed she pulled the covers up around . O ill ' r ncl Kev T ' m of e ' p ,.!7 . . .

After what seemed hours to her, she fell asleep with the rain beating a light tatoo, on the tiny window. All at once she heard a noise in the adjoining room as of someone scuffling. It sounded to her as if a chair tipped over. Then all was quiet, Marian lay there tense and very warm with the sweat running down her face, but she was too frightened to uncover. What was that? Did she hear a noise? Footsteps, and coming right toward her door. She wanted to scream, cry out for help, but her tongue seemed to be big for her mouth, and she could not utter even a whisper. Nearer and nearer came the sound until it stopped outside of her door. Marian got up courage enough to turn her head and look toward the door. She noticed that it had stopped raining and the moon was shining directly on the door knob. As s-he looked at it the door knob turned, a man entered and stood uncertain which way to turn. At once he espied her and lunged toward her bed. Marian uttered a scream and-awakened. Aunt Belle was standing over her. Land sake, child, Cthis was her favorite expressionl what are you screaming for? I called you twice and when you didn't answer I just gently shook you. You nearly frightened me right out of my wits. Come. Breakfast will be ready in about ten minutes and you know uncle Harvey doesn't like to wait for his meals. All right, aunt Belle, I'll be right downf' She jumpe'd out of bed and was dressed in less time than it takes to tell it. As she started down stairs she opened the door to the adjoining room. It proved to be a store room. The mice had been gnawing at the seed corn which had been hung up to dry, and the string had broken, letting the corn down with a thud. Marian resolved not to tell uncle' Harvey, because he would treat it as :1 good joke, and tease her about it. But when she entered the dining room she could tell by the twinkle in his eyes that aunt Belle had guessed her secret and already imparted it to her life-long partner. DORIS KIRKHAM 0 Fate I de With a knock Victor Roberts entered Robert Dale's office. The atmosphere seemed rather strained as he sat down, waiting for the older man to speak. At last, however, he looked up and spoke. 'Tm sorry, Vick, that greed got away with your discretion. I'd noticed things for some time, and when I closed the books myself this month, my suspicions proved well-founded. You're -1 boob! Spell it frontwards or backwards, you can't get out of it. Thats the best I can say about the way you've treated me. I'm hurt, and Dorthery will be broken hearted. I'm not interested in your good intentions, or how you expected to get away with it., I've got only one proposition, and I'll see that. you take it. Victor Roberts slumped down in his chair in the typical posture, of a misused back bone. Before his min-d flashed the picture of that last half year. Money beckoning with an unrelenting finger, Che never could bring himself to use it.J Always before him was the tantalizing face of Page Sixty-Six THE BEAVER-1933 Dorthery Dale, the employer's daughter, and their wedding wouldn't have been so far off either. He didn't care about the dowry, it was useful, but he had more than its worth now-only Dorthery. Could he get away with the money? What good would it do him if he was shut away from the sun-shine? Perhaps the proposition, but again he heard the well-known voice saying something. Pm resolved not to have a scandal-for her sake, but you're going to leave England and going to stay. I don't know of any ship that will get you there faster than one thats leaving in a few hours. But, Dorthery ---- J' Ive explained to her that I'im sending you on business. The rest is up to you. Then, sarcastically, Any more objection ? I couldn't book a passage so late even if I had time to pack. 'Tm handling this affair. Here's your ticket. You have two hours to collect your property. Oh, yes, you'll meet me. It will be easier for you. Three hours later the man on the dock saw Victor Roberts for the last time, as the sun's rays picked up the gilt lett-ers TITANIC along the ship's side far below him.
