INEZ BETHKE G, A. A.: Glee Club. Her ready smile a happy heart suggests. TI-IE TOUCHDOWN They have scored. The goal has been won, and the team is leaving the field victorious. During the first quarter the seniors distinguished themselves in many fields. The class of '38, 150 in number, was the largest class ever to enter the portals of Baraboo high school. The district music tournament was held in Baraboo in their first year. At the state music contest Everette Stoner of the freshman class was the only Baraboo entrant to place in first division. The first move made in the second quarter was to elect Oscar Wedel president of the class. The sophs were welcomed by the seniors at the Senior-Sophomore Shuffle. In the Armistice Day grid classic with Portage, the most important football game of the season, Baraboo defeated the invaders, following a series of defeats for Baraboo. Helping the team from the class of '38 were Oscar Wedel, Edward Koons, Arthur Greenhalgh, and lean Gambrill. During this quarter also the operetta, Pirates of Penzance, was presented, arid among the leads were lean Gambrill, Margery Shale, William Platt, and Lorraine Turner. To begin the third quarter the number of players was reduced to one-hundred eighteen. This year the class elected Oscar Wedel president, Arthun Greenhalgh, vice presidentp Helen Kramer, secretary, and Hazel Kurtz, treasurer. Of course, the main event of the year was the Prom. Robert Stewart was chosen king and escorted Vera Dwyer. The decorations were in blue and white in keep- ing with the theme song, Moonlight and Shadows, played by Connie Wendell's orchestra. The class this year presented the play, Big Hearted Herbert, in which Clarence Bradley was starred. The glee clubs and the band placed well in district music competition with the help of many.of the class of '38. Baraboo's debaters came into prominence by winning third place in the south central conference. Among the debaters were Helen Kramer, Warren Bates, and Blaine Williams. The basketball team, composed mainly of '38 men acquired the conference championship. During this year not only our class, but the school and community were greatly saddened by the death of our principal, Mr. Kings- ford, who had been superintendent of the Baraboo schools for twenty-seven years. After an illness of almost two months he passed away on March 13, 1937, and his booming voice in the corridors was greatly missed by all. Mr. G. L. Willson, formerly vice-principal, then took over Mr. Kingford's duties as superintendent. Regretfully the team advanced into the final quarter. They were leading the field, but they wanted the game to continue. This year Arthur Greenhalgh was elected president, Helen Kramer, vice-presi- dent, Vera Dwyer, secretary, and Iames Welch, treasurer. The football team went through the season undefeated and unscored upon, thus gaining for the school the conference championship. This was .celebrated by a half-day's vacaton, followed by the Senior-Sophomore Shuffle. Many seniors took part in the operetta, The Mikado, which was given during the first part of this year. The basketball squad again wan the conference championship in this final year, U ln scholastics, as in everything else, the class of '38 excelled. Margery Shale was declared vale- dictorian and Dawnine King salutatorian. Next in order were Iane Halbman, Oscar Wedel, Margaret Siebecker, Arthur Greenhalgh, Virginia Schluter, Eleanor Zellman. Lorna Gerth, Arleen Holsaple, War- ren Bates, Dorothy Fleming, and Clarence Bradley. Now it is with sincere regret that the team leaves the gridiron to play no more for Baraboo high school. They have much to look forward to, and they look ahead eagerly, but they will never forget their playing days, their coaches, and their team mates.
