DIPPEL, President W. T. JENKS GEORGE Mc ARTHUR SCHOOL BOARD Have you ever stopped to consider how important the school board is in the life of the school? No? Well, I think that's usually the case. Unless we come in direct con- tact with the board most of us, l think, are likely to forget what an integral part of the educational system such a body forms. On the second Monday in every month this group of five men meet together with Mr. Willson to consider problems dealing with every phase of school life. At the recommendation of the superintendent they take up matters pertaining to every- thing from the purchase of a new typewriter to large construction problems. Deter- mining the major expenditures and changes in curriculum, fixing the school calendar, hiring teachers, and making regulations or changes in the buildings are just a few of their duties. Yes, I said few , for all their services to us are too numerous to mention. Now, l hereby make a motion that we express our sincere thanks for all the time and effort the board has so kindly spent upon us. All in favor signify by saying aye. Ah, what's this? I thought so, the ayes have it unanimously. SEVERN RINKOB Vice Prinlzipal Senior High School Superintendent GORDON L. WILLSON Principal Senior High School NORMAN K.

The subject matter ranges from the Cro-Magnon man to the latest interchange of notes between Mussolini and Hitler. Since elimination and selection are vital for high school subjects, the field has been narrowed to seven full-year courses emphasizing European and Ameri- can history, American government, and economics. ln the junior high school seventh and eighth grade students are intro- duced to the social studies by a two year course which includes American history and citizenship. As sophomores the students are required to take civics, whose chief objective is to teach the forms of federal and local government. A histcry course is required during either the second or third year of high school. The sophomore world history is a summary of civilization from the ice age to the present. European or modern history, a course for juniors, includes the period from the time of Louis XIV to the World War, American history, required in the senior year, traces the growth of our country frcm the English colonies to the world power we are today. Business law and economics, elected by junior and seniors, interpret the business wcrld in terms of its legal and financial aspects. History and the social sciences offer us an increased understanding of our social heritage, an informed sensitivity to the problems about us, a training in critical reasoning as applied to human experience. 1-..- if Q ' i Q' :: p 4 1 1i ELEANOR COX SEVERN RINKOB OVID SMEDSTAD RUTH VAN KEUREN MILO WILLARD General Science Physics Chemistry Biology Geography Advanced Math Geometry Commercial Arithmetic SCIENCE What a remarkable age we are living inf Streamlined trains built like bullets rocket along the tracks at a hundred miles an hour! Commander Byrd voyages to the south pole and lives to write about it! A chemist discovers the secret of invisible glass, and static-less radios become more than just a day dream! A number of scientific courses aid the Baraboo students to understand and appreciate these modern miracles. The subjects undertake to introduce the pupil to the scientific method, to preparethim for more work along the scientific lines, and to point out to him man's triumph over his environment. l Seventh graders are introduced to the science world by a geography course which takes up the study of surface features of the earth, climatology and its influence on life, and the like. Commercial geography, an elective taken by about half of the freshmen, stresses trade relations. General science, a required subject in the ninth grade, is characterized by extensive project work in charts, posters, booklets, and oral reports. The freshmen keep up with the world by subscribing to two scientific magazines. Biology is required of all sophomores except those taking agriculture. Here, by experiments with earth-worms, frogs,and other lower forms of life, the stu- dents learn the structure, function, and adaptations of animals as well as plants. Chem- istry, an elective for juniors and seniors, is taken by about ten per cent of each of these groups. lt has practical value in the fields of metallurgy, structural engineering, medicine, pharmacy, and many others. Physics, required of all who have not had chemistry, is taken by eighty per cent of the seniors. This course is divided into five units-mechanics heat, electricity and magnetism, light, and sound. Geology is an elective for sophomores, juniors, and seniors. lt consists mainly of a study of rock structure, stressing especially the formations of the Devil's Lake region. Each course tries to create a more general knowledge of scientific progress in agri- culture, communication, transportation, and other fields of man's endeavor. i ,, .?.,.1f ' Af it B is Q , 3 -.Z 3 ,Lg Lg, 7 A ? HARRlET M ANDREWS FERN HACKETT MARGARET LOCKS RUTH VENARD English English English English Speech Speech ENGLISH The department of English aims to give each student a knowledge of the English language which will enable him to speak and write effectively, and also a knowledge and appreciation of some of the world's best literature, Three years of English are required of all students and a fourth year may be elected if a student so desires. However, freshmen with an average of eighty-five or above may be excused from sophomore English. A short course in speech is given in connection with sophomore English. This aftords some training in voice and greater effectiveness in oral English. Sophomores are also given library training in our own library under the direction of Miss Johnson. Seniors have their choice of English literature and practical English. However, students with higher averages are usually requested to take literature. Some students take both. ' Outside reading in the senior English courses offers much opportunity for those who enioy reading. Every student is requested to read 300 points. For those students who read SOO points a Maximum Attainment Degree is pre- sented, while those who read IOOO points or more receive a Superior Attain- ment Degree. ' if it l J N EENHALGH H. W. HAWKINS MARlAN WIGHTMAN DAVID H WILLIAMS mercial Manual Arts Home Economics AQFICUIU-'fe VOCATIONS During the last decade, educators have come to reqlize that all education shoulc' prepare one for life. Our high school, in keeping with this modern trend, now has four vocational courses, namely home economics, agriculture, industrial arts, and commercial work. This year ninety-five girls took some sort of home economics course, and out of six- teen different ambitions revealed by these girls, it was found that ten are obviously connected with home economics. Sixty-seven per cent of them chose one of the four professions, teacher, nurse, beauty operator, or housewife. Only ten out of the entire ninety-five chose marriage as their aim. For many years commercial education was thought of as something apart from aca- demic training. But as society is now organized, business is a very vital part of life. With, this new philosophy of education in mind, our commercial course has been reorganized to meet this newly recognized social need. Our commercial course as now offered, not only prepares the student for a definite business vocation, but also gives the student who plans on entering college the privilege of electing those com- mercial subjects he wishes for his own personal use. Because of this modification in our course there has been a decided increase in the number of students choosing com- mercial work. This year approximately one-half of the student body in the senior high is enrolled in at least one of these commercial subjects. The need for high school training as a preparation for a life of farming is as great today as the need for training in most other vocations. The agricultural vocation course is designed to cover the entire field of forming in four years. lt includes the study of farm crops, farm animals, farm mechanics, and farm management. In addi- tion to this class room work, each boy has one or more projects on his home farm, the purpose of which is to give the student an opportunity to put into practice the teach- ing of the class room. The agriculture deparment was started at Baraboo in the fall of l93l, with an enrollment of 20. Enrollment this year was 60. Baraboo schools offer' five years of industrial arts. These subjects give the student experience in manipulative skills plus industrial and occupational information that nc other course offers. The advanced wookworking class always welcomes a group pro' ject, and in the past has supplied much needed equipment throughout the schools The mechanical drawina room has been equipped,and many teachers are enjoying desks made in the shop. This vear the students are making teachers desks for all the rooms in the third ward school. F fn - A if S- A r A A .li .. W . r it . ss- it - -- i J .- if .. il V ' A . . E A E.

This explains why four years of mathematics are required from seventh grade to the end of high school. Arithmetic, compulsory in seventh and eighth, is the science of numbers, the art of computation. Algebra, required of all freshmen, considers the representation of numbers by means of letters - in other words, finding the well- known x , Advanced algebra, elected by seniors, is a much more complicated study along the same lines. Geometry is required of juniors and deals with the properties of space. Commercial arithmetic and bookkeeping are electives offering practice in business transactions. Some of all of these studies are necessary for the engineers, as- tronomers, machinists, business men, and office workers who will be managing our world a few years hence. Baraboo offers two elective courses in languages, four years of Latin and two of German. Latin, the mother tongue of all the Romance languages, is the source of sixty per cent of our English words. This fact enables the Latin student to build up a large and usable vocabulary. English literature is filled with allusions to the Latin classics, and the reader's enjoyment is greater if he has studied the original. Latin is also im- portant as a basis for further study in modern languages. lt is interesting to note that approximately ninety per cent of o graduating high school Latin class goes away to school, as compared with the thirty-three per cent of the total enrollment who re- ceive a higher education. Because this is a German community, the study of the language should be practical as well as useful. A course in any foreign language furthers the understanding of Eng- lish syntax and creates good study habits of concentration and attention to small de- tails. Students who will need a foreign language for their college degree will find it advantageous to begin the study of German or Latin in high school where more time can be devoted to the intricacies of a new language. However, such a study is of value to all students and should not be limited to college preparatory work. J It-ffajg, g its if 1' ' ,qi , si it ,,f, , .

The principals of the senior high have consistently ov he ch ice f x selection and the number of books. The supply has been augm d he - d' i n of volumes from the late Mr. Kingsfard's library and by a fund r mor' -g c- tion established by his daughter. That the books are appreciated i ot. Xu th circulation. lt is estimated that last year about 6,600 books were dr o ov nig or longer. Among the most popular was Mrs. Anne Lindbergh's Nort t 5 xient. By fostering a desire for such worthwhile literature, the library furnish s x there quisites of a well-rounded education. i llThe man that hath no music in himself H X i ls fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils. lu Thus Shakespeare summed up the value of music. This art renders an iml ortant service as an amusement and recreation and is one of the really worthwhile w of spending leisure time. Music, whether it be of band, orchestra, or glee club, is a factor in promoting happiness and mental health, Some respond to symphony and some to swing, but unfortunate is he whose spirits do not rise and whose troubles do not vanish as music fills the air. What music is to the mind, athletics are to the body. All athletes, boy or girl, learn the value 'of cooperation and team play, the meaning of confidence and the re- sult of over-confidence. They learn to fight terrific odds, to be sportsmen, to play fair, to be good losers and gracious winners. Such qualities will aid the athlete to solve the problems he will encounter beyond the school. Athletic activities are the means of molding the 'students together by creating school spirit. They constitute a common interest, disappointment when the team loses and pride when it wins. l f 7 I ,, my ,I P .2 Speed J.imit Reversible Reaction The Magic Eye Batter Up!

'ev ' ' FROM A SENlOR'S DIARY Dear Diary, Although I've been getting a report card stamped Senior for more than a semester, now, nothing has impressed the fact upon me m.ore than this memorable day of being measured for caps and gowns. There's' some- thing so definite about 32 inches around the chest and 23 inches as the circumference of your cranium. Yes, 23l Well, who wouldn't wear a larger hat size the year he is a senior? Especially should the honor students, Joan Withington, Valedictoriang Jeannette Hawkins, Salutatoriang and the next in order Mary Peck, Gertrude Bayer, Bernice Belter, Gerhart Klipp, Lorna Brockley, Fred Jenswold, William Moon, and Josephine Manthey have reason to be proud of their splendid record. The girls seem to have the lead this year, or should I say this year? Already the senior officers, Robert Capener, president, Eugenia Dwy- er, vice-president, Audrey Hattle, secretary, and Frank Wing, treasur- er, and the advisers, Miss Wagner and Mr. Smedstad, have their ,hands full in preparation for the busy graduation week. lt seems such a short time ago that we were welcomed into the senior high by the Senior-Sophomore Shuffle, but already the same event with us as hosts is a thing of the past. Perhaps, though, some will remember ll won't forget, l spilled punch on my best dressl how we danced in a world of green and crimson streamers while the colored Christmas lights played softly over all. At least the record crowd and friendly feeling will be a mark at which any class may well aim. 5 l If VWW M we LW Jil' J f V, WML MJ' J w ,J VXA, , ,Z fy Top Row: N Behnke, D Bnumgorten, R Culbert, V.

Althouqh the big social event of the year is lots of fun, it does have rather o wearying effect on one the next few days. l'll bet there's not a time in the whole school year when there are more drooping eyelids than the week after the Junior- Senior Prom. The hall literally buzzed with Prom chatter. As the girls bewailed the clusters of curls they were fast losing, there was the usual talk of dresses and corsages. But amid all the discussion it seemed to me there was more than an ordinary repetition of this remark, Wasn't the prom itself just perfect? And wasn't it? The tantalizing strains of Deep Purple , the theme song played by Phil Morris's orchestra, are still lingering in my mind. Magicolly the gym was transformed into a garden, 'a picturesque setting for the lovely gowns. A huge moon reflected rays of light upon the crystal water, bubbling from a fountain. Their majes- ties, King Leo Bisch and Queen Helen Lehnherr, were crowned in regal splendour before leading the grand march. A banquet at the Warren Hotel with Robert Carlson, junior president, presiding as toastmaster, preceded the dance. Well, after the bustle of the prom subsides, I s'pose we'll have to resume our schol- astic activities. The honor roll's long list didn't seem to indicate, however, that we had slipped during the excitement of the social season. Maybe the fine job done bv our officers, president, Robert Carlson, vice president, Evelyn Bump, secretary, Shirley Shale, and treasurer, Harold Hulterstrum with the advisers, Miss Van Keuren and Mr. Smith may have something to do with that. I'm much too sleepy to think even, but it does seem to me that if our senior year goes off as well as our first three have, we'll have a graduating class of which we may well be proud. 55 X Top Row: C.

But I hope the boys don't make as many mistakes as our team did in their mock combat. lt's events like this that make a sophomore look forward to his next two years when opportunities for them are so much more frequent. However, we haven't done half bad up to now. As freshmen we not only organized and had a class picnic, but also joined as many extra-curricular activities as were open to us, This year we were welcomed into the senior high at the Senior-Sophomore Shuffle. Again we organized our class with John Fry as president, Marlyn Hall as vice presi- dent, Joseph Roedsons as secretary, and Mark Weidman as treasurer. Miss Venard was chosen class adviser. Each sophomore homeroom gave a program, as did all the other homerooms. New fields of- endeavor were opened up in Thalia, forensics, debate and the annual staff. , We can look upon the first half of our school career with justified satisfaction. Does that sound egotistical? Well, remember the saying, quote, He that tooteth not his own horn, the same shall not be tooteth. 40' Top Row: A DuBois, J. Gcinzlin, L. Braun, M. Holbman, E. Dippel, H.

'Who is that boy? one girl asked. Now don't get excited, the other replied. I-Ie's only a little freshman. e freshman! Where does she get that stuff? Maybe we don't have access to as many activities as the upper classmen do, but we're well represented in many fields all the same. The football team claimed about nine students and our basketball squad broke even, winning three and losing three games in competition with other teams from out of town. About fifteen girls became active in G. A A, Freshmen participated not only ,in athletic events but also joined the F. F. A., orchestra, first band, the glee clubs, and the annual staff. Besides this we were one of the first freshman classes to organize, electing the following officers: Richard Warren, president, William Luce, vice president, Paul Arndt, secretary, Robert Di Renzo, treasurer, and Betty Hanley and Don Kinzler as student council representatives. Miss Locks was chosen as adviser. To give the students a better chance to get acquainted and to teach them new points of speech, a dramatic club was formed. The girls under the direction of Miss Locks have already given a very successful play while the boys are being coached by Mr. Willard. And now that we're acquainted, all that the rest of you will have to do is watch our smoke. P .MVP E ,pr ,rw . . I we :WT-ff.

I peeped into the study hall, and there was the first installment of the group, which numbers twenty-six in all, waiting for the tardy members. Could that mean me? This year student council voted to have three representatives from the junior high join the ranks. At the beginning of school, the organization sponsored the first dance of the season and also a pep meeting. One of their most interesting projects was the organization of a school night for parents. The mothers and fathers one evening attended their children's classes to see just what their taxes were doing for Mary and Johnny, both socially and educationally. The parents also gained a different perspective on school life and mcdern methods of teaching. Student council voted on a plan to take effect next year, involving the number of points each of the extra-curricular activities should count. This resulted in the goriest battle of the year. The boys opened fire by claiming that their activities were more active and should .be rated higher. The girls denied this and claimed that they, too, would like to graduate, a project which would be impossible if the proposal were carried. Mr. Smith, the adviser, who has on occasion been known to express doubt concerning woman suffrage, this time sided with the girls and put the boys straight with a gentle word he-re and there. The officers of student council are: president, Bill Moon, vice president, Robert Carlson, secretary, Frances Luce. Top Row: H. Lehnherr, R. Martiny, M. Adams, Miss Venard, B. Dwyer, Miss Johnson.

Anyway, nobody saw me spill' it, and the banquet was lovely. All flowers and pastel shades and pretty dresses! lt's really the big event of the Thalia social season, and I had a grand time. Of course, there were other good Thalia meetings, for instance, our initiation last fall. The ritual, promises, and colors were the same ones Thalia has used for twenty-eight years. Next day all the old members gloated when the initiates appeared in unmatched shoes and stockings and with mercurochrome crosses on their foreheads. The Thalia-Hi-Y sleighridg party was a big success, also. lt was a bright and snowy moonlight night, and everybody got into the spirit of the thing except maybe the horses. l think they were a bit discour- aged when Mr. Smedstad rode them. Our regular meetings are top-notch too, espe- cially the monthly suppers. The programs have been particularly good this year. We ranged from plays to book reports on modern literature to George Gershwin. After all, though it's sometimes hard to believe, Thalia is a literary club, and is named after the patron muse of literature, art and drama. This year Rachael Mortiny, Helen Lehn- herr. Evelyn Bump, Barbara Anderson, Winifred Gasser, Gerry Mistele, Alice Carpen- ter, Sarita Venard,Vand Irene Judson took part in the Thalia-Ag plays which were called Who Gets the Car Tonight? , ln Doubt About Daisy , and The Tiger's Claw . Miss Johnson and Miss Venard are the adviser of Thalia.

Quite a task it is to eat and at the same time keep up with the deluge of wisecracks. The Hi-Y, with its branches all over the United States, is unusual in that it gets a cross-grain ofthe outstanding students in school, country boys and city boys, de- baters and athletes, bandsmen and scholars. This variation is noticeable in the selec- tion of officers. Bill Moon is president, Russell Hall is vice president and student coun- cil representative, Fred Jenswold is secretary, and Norman Quale is treasurer The program for the evening usually consists of a discussion led by one of the eighteen members. Last night I heard an animated talk on l-low to Spend Your Money , punctuated with gems of wisdom from Adviser Smedstad who seems to know. Occasionally outside speakers are invited or movies shown. The mast import- ant project of the year is the establishment of a careful system of selling second-hand books to relieve the office of that duty. The Hi-Y has admirable ideals. A Christian character is the goal. Clean speech, clean sportsmanship, clean living, and clean scholarship are stressed in the desire for the attainment of this goal. Candidates for membership are judged according to at- titudey personality, scholastic ability, and extra-curricular activity. The roster may not exceed eighteen. Underneath the atmosphere of humor lies a serious respect for these ideals. The attendance at meetings is usually one hundred per cent. Prac- tically every one takes part in the discussions. It is the worthy desire of almost every boy to be a member of the Hi-Y - once the initiation is over. f ffm Q 2611 5. ,fro film, If T t r ., . - 91- 39 'V Q, Top Row: P. Halbman, K. Dwyer, L.

V JUNIOR CLASS PLAY Tonight I went to the junior class play, Growing Pains, a three-act comedy with a well-chosen cast. The story centers around the Mclntyre family. Mrs. Mc- Intyre had recognized the alarming symptons for some time, but it was not until the absent-minded professor noticed the strange actions of his children that the secret came out. Bravely Mrs. Mclntyre and the distracted professor prepared to battle this dreadful disease, called adolescence, of which George and Terry Mclntyre had perhaps the worst case in history. Mrs. Mclntyre promised George a party if he would have his tonsils out, but little did she realize the turmoil it would cause. The situation was further complicated by the appearance of Prudence Darling-the woman of affairs. From that time on events moved swiftly. George traded his rifle for a disreputable old car, and Terry suddenly decided to grow up. This was part ,of her system to keep Brian from the wiles of Prudence. The party was a succession of calamities, leading finally to George's arrest for speeding. The professor's wisdom and understanding of youthful troubles finally straightened out all the tangles. George decided to retrieve his rifle, and to avoid the fickleness of women, and with Terry roller skates and candy bars won out. In the end another blonde appeared upon the scene. We'll keep our fingers crossed for George. The play was directed by Miss Ruth Venard. The cast was as follows: George Mclntyre ---------- George Sprecher Terry Mclntyre - - - Alice Carpenter Mrs. Mclntyre - Kathryn Ann Fleming Professor Mclntyre - - Donald Biege Sophie - - - - Lois Myers Mrs. Patterson - Rachael Martiny Elsie Patterson - Beverly Thayer Traffic Officer - Dwaine Briggs Dutch - Lloyd Bartholomew Brian - - Leo Bisch Omar Philip Halbman Hal - Rollo Simonds Pete - Daniel Roth Prudence - Efvelyn Bump Patty - - Isa Mae Lenz Jane Hyacinth Landon Miriam - Mary Dennis Vivian - Kathleen Dwyer Standing: D.

An unusual feature was the choosing of the jury from the audience. The twelve tried and true rendered the decision upon which depended the use of one of the two endings written for the play. Mary Eleanor Dithmar, Fred Jenswold, and Bill Moon did good work on the leads.

DEBATE It's a good thing I bought my ticket in advance for the south central debate con- ference at Tomah. lt's a sell out, this battle of the century, with contenders for the title present from Baraboo, Tomah, Portage, Viroqua, Reedsburg, Richland Center, and Sparta. Lusty cheers arise as Boraboo's affirmative team - Bob lthe Brute! Capener and Hal l-lulterstrum - take their positions. Hal, -with an invulnerable de- fense and an inexhaustable supply of five syllable words, finishes off his opponent. Bob steps up and leads with a quotation from President Roosevelt. Bob is downed for the count of nine when he addresses a young man of the opposing team as Madame Chairman. But he's up again and wins by a knockout! Meanwhile William lGorillal Gasser and Fred Jenswold, the negative team, are beating down the opposition to a pulp. And Baraboo wins both debates and is proclaimed conference champion! The fighters leave the ring singing their song of victory: Resolved, that the U. S. shall establish an alliance with Great Britain. Trainer Jones and the alternates, Jean Schilstra, John Fry, and Albert Watkins, meanwhile congratulate Tomah and Portage who placed second and third. The squad had trained by competing in six non-decision and twelve decision de- bates, winning eight of -the latter and meeting fourteen schools. They became adept at self expression, quick and accurate thinking, the use of reference material, and, finally made a record of which the school is proud. 0 it I Ta 4 KB N -tx, -t 'VWSEPQ 1 Jyiiui-x : 5 I I ' Q W 1 Q 3 ,,, , ..,,,, .

The girls sounded like an Apache war tribe in full cry. Neither are the volley ball, baseball, hockey, and tennis games marked by long periods of silence. The G. A. A. hikes and bike trips are not so voci- ferous. But they can be heard. G. A. A. furnished the school with four cheerleaders this year, by a system of com- petitive tryouts. Sis Leuck and Irene Ross were elected senior cheerleaders, and Sis Hall and Jacky Joyce are the juniors. Last fall G. A. A. sponsored the sale of football pins to raise money for a sparsely furnished treasury. Just before Christmas the club gave a dance to which the junior high students invited the senior high girls. Everybody came dressed as a little tot, and the teachers carried off the honors.

The meeting was just beginning so I sat down in a corner. I noticed that the president was stationed under a picture of the rising sun, the vice president by the plow, the secretary by an ear of corn, the treasurer under the picture of George Washington and the reporter under the flag. From these positions the offi- cers conducted the regular chapter meeting. When roll call was taken, fifty-five names were called and forty-eight responded. The treasurer gave an account of the finan- ces, casting threatening glances at ones who had not paid their dues. When regular discussion started, Bob Mattke outlined the past years' activities. He recalled the F. F. A. booths which won first place both at the state and county fairs, the Future Farmer-Parent banquet, the success of the apple-judging team in winning first place at the Madison state contest. Kenny Harvey interrupted to tell of the basketball and kittenball games with neighboring chapters and the public speaking contests, and Earl Wichern mentioned the F. F. A. party in February and the Thalia-Ag plays in which Harold Dallman, Frank Wing, Lloyd Bartholomew, Gerhart Klipp, Harlan Beard- sley, Verdon Higgins, Laverne Weirich, Rodney Williams, and Philip Powers took part. In the middle of a speech, the aroma of burnt cocoa stole over the members. A frantic dash was made by the food committee, and, as Gerhart Klipp, the chemist, remarked, they reached the liquid before it vaporized. The adviser of this energetic club is Mr. Williams.

SOC I ETAS LATI NA Yesterday I finally remembered to drag my toga out from under the piano in Miss Schroeder's room where it had been since a certain Latin club meet- ing Iast fall. The only requirement for this club is to attend a Latin class more or less regularly. Almost a hundred per cent of the Latin students belong. At the meeting of the sixteenth instant of September, we installed the toga-clad officers, previously elected, with the usual ceremony. Then the new members did little dances and things to amuse us. At the next regular monthly meeting we entertained the German club and took an imag- inary trip through Europe with Miss Wagner. At the third meeting we cast our aim to improve our cultural background to the wind and bade Miss Loye, our founder and former adviser, a fond but noisy farewell with a pro- gram consisting mostly of devouring refreshments. Subsequently we initiated our new adviser, Miss Mc Donald. She later said it was a baptism of fire. We call our officers by their Roman names. The consul, Fred Jenswold, is the president. Mary Peck, the aedile or vice president, has charge of entertainment. The proetor, Barbara Anderson, discharges the secretarial duties, while Rosemary Hornung, the quaester, officiates over the treasury. The legatus, who represents the club in student council, is Bill Moon. Tap Row: H. Arndt, P. Albert, R. Fitzgerald, A, Schadde, R. Capener, R. Culbert, C. Kerndt. Front Row: R. Roth, B. Thayer, L.

Some indulged in sports, and all indulged in supper, following which such German Lieder as Du, du, liegst mir in Herzen were sung. Oh, yes, the meeting was chaperoned by our able adviser, Fraulein Wagner. Thanks for all the good meetings of the Deutschen Verein goes to Lillian McGilvra and Lorna Gerth who arranged the schedule of programs. The evening we were guests of the Latin club was memorable. The well-publicized club matinee in February sponsored by the German club was a big success, the Musikanten being Herrn Bob Capener and Harold Arndt of the German club, and Fred Jenswold, Donald Gall, and Harold Hulterstrum. And was l surprised when l had to wield the broom in the broom dance! The plays were fun to put on, too, as well as affording interest in German cus- toms and folklore, one of the aims of the club. Gesundheit was the word of the hour as we met in February when the flu epidemic prevailed. The few members pre- sent played Buzz and sang. We had a unique treasure hunt in March. I could have used a German dictionary on some of the directions, but I didn't tell Miss Wagner that. And there was seldom a dull moment when the drei Kameraden Phil,Barley, and Fitz started joking. The climax of the year's program was the Kaffee Stunde on Moy 2 when we observed a genuine German custom. Every one contributed to the program. Each member invited a guest, and I invited-well, l invited a friend of mine. The officers are: president, Charles Kerndt, vice president, Harold Arndt, secre- tary, Lillian McGilvra, treasurer, Robert Capener, student council representative, Bev- erly Thayer. Top Row B.

Investigating further I learned that the music of Wagner, Bach, and other great masters comes from the high school every Tuesday evening. Mr. Smith's homeroom which has the good fortune to be just above the music room is also serenaded each Monday. This year this organization of thirty-two members under the direction of Miss Schroeder is working on the Valse de Fleurs from the Nutcracker Suite, the Golden Sceptre, the Peer Gynt Suite, and the Tannhauser March . The members show the results of hard practice when theyplay at the junior and senior class plays and at the commencement exercises. At the beginning of the school year a dinner party was held at which the new members were initiated. Each initiate was given a stunt to perform. At this meeting the officers for the coming year were elected as follows: president, Jean Schilstra, vice president, Fred Jenswold, secretary-treasurer, Louise Martin, student council representative, Evelyn Bump.

BAND This being either Monday, Wednesday, or Friday II'm not sure whichl I must tear over to band rehearsal fourth period. I am one of the sixty-four out of a hundred taking band who played at the Mauston music contest. I was scared to death when we come to my solo in The Barber of SeviIIe , the required number, but I enjoyed playing our warm-up march, Vanished Army , and our selected piece which was the first movement of Schu- bert's Unfinished Symphony There were about ten ensembles and twenty soloists from Baraboo there, and I whipped around all day hearing them. The band always plays at the exercises on Decoration Day, and we have been practic- ing patriotic music lately. Last fall and winter we practiced marches to play at all the conference football games and most of the conference basketball games. We also played at Christmas, pre-tournament, and summer cut-door concerts. Small groups of musicians, more gifted than I, also played at various programs around town. Band members receive a half credit a year, of which one credit may be counted toward graduation. That's one reason for taking band. Others are to learn to play an instrument, to increase your understanding and appreciation of music, and to enjoy the sociability of the band. Speaking of sociability, our best get-together so far was the annual dinner at the Legion Hall. Mr. Solum awarded letters to sixteen seniors: Lorna Brockley, Mary Elean- or Dithmar, Mary Felgen, Fred Jenswold, Edward Koberstein, Ruth Martin, Robert Okern, Harriett Owen, Ivan Powers, Norman Quale, Roberta Roth, Stuart Stewart, Arlene Thuerer, Jack Weston, Earl Wichern, and Joan Withington. Now I'm looking forward to the picnic at DeviI's Lake. The Band Mothers sponsor these entertainments. This year they also purchased a steel music filing cabinet. The school board bought us a baritone sax, some filing folios, and more steel chairs. Top Row: L. Terbilcox, D. Platt, D. Baumgarten, V. Knoop, V. Albrecht, M. Dennis, J, Schilstra, R. Frenz, A.

The girls were blindfolded to repeat the vows. Then Miss Schroeder en- tranced her listeners with a piano selection. Jean Dwyer had the girls weeping copiously as she gave her prize-winning declamation. The Karch sisters did their best to change the mood with flute and violin solos. They did very well, too, because there immediately ensued a wave of powder puffs repairing red noses and tear-streaked cheeks. The sextet made up of Carol Ott, Alice Morse, Eulaine Leuck, Shirley Shale, Carol Bohn, and Josephine Manthey sang several numbers bringing a close to the program. Everybody was still waiting for the main feature of the evening - the refreshments. Alice Morse bravely came to the door and barely finished announcing that The ice cream and cake will be served 'in the next room when she was carried away by the violent mob. Later Alice had an appendicitis operation. I wander if there's any connection? Girls' glee club meets twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school. Its members are active in several activities each year. The girls enlisted seventy-four of their members in the chorus of the operetta, and four girls took leads. There were twelve girls in the min- strel show, and the a capella choir of forty-eight members included some of the best sing- ers in both glee clubs. The girls presented a solo contest in the spring.

This year as usual the antics of the end men, Stuart Stewart, William Albert, Robert Capener, Harold Hulter- strum, Earl Wichern, and Harold Arndt, were enough to send anyone into paroxysms of lciughtlerg The show was further enhanced by the presence of a dozen members of the girls' g ee c u . The glee club participates in several other activities, The aperetta was an excellent piece of work. The solo contest for boys has always attracted much attention. There are a num- ber of fine singers in glee club and the contest is usually close. Since its organization in l93l the glee club has put onyseven minstrel shows, seven operettas, and six solo contests. ln ad- dition, this year has seen the advent of a newcomer, the a cappella choir meeting Tuesdays and Thu,rsdays at lZ:45 and consisting of chosen members of both bays' and girls' glee clubs. During the second semester the boys practiced for the district music contest at Mauston.

IN OLD VIENNA I can't go to bed tonight without first writing about the grand musical comedy I just saw. The title of it was ln Old Vienna or Pickles, Every one of the leads did outstand- ingly well, and the chorus of Ill students was exceptionally good, too. The attractive set- tings added much to the success of the performance, the scenes being laid in the court yard of the Wurtzelpraeter Inn, and in a colorful gypsy camp on the outskirts of Vienna. It was a gay, rollicking operetta and is a credit to Miss Jean Schroeder, the musical director. Follow- ing is the efficient cast: The waiters ---- Fred Jenswold, Don Gall Hans Maier, proprietor of the Inn - - - Kenneth Sconce Louisa, a waitress ---- - Mary Eleanor Dithmar Captain Kinski, chief of the detective bureau - - Robert Capener Bumski and Rumski, sleuths - - - Deane Schaefer, Robert Roth J.

When the Baraboo boys mapped the field with a heavier and more experienced eleven, the city fathers started to sit up and take notice of their aspiring sons. The team lived up to all expectations in their next gridiron battle, swamping Viroqua, 30 to O. Then came that battle of giants, that tussle of titans, Baraboo versus Reedsburg. Reedsburg's Captain Bob Meyer at that time was considered the outstanding threat in the South Central Conference, and with Captain Jerry Haskins at the helm of Bora- boo's eleven, the two teams lined up on the Baraboo athletic field. The whistle, the signal, and the kickoff! What a boot Meyer gives that ball! Weiske dropping back takes the kick and starts up the field while Reedsburg lumbers down the gridiron. As if by magic a tremendous hole appears before the plodding Weiske. One after an- other Coach Plenke's prateges tumble into the arms of Mother Nature. Now, Jim gain- ing momentum, crosses the middle marker and keeps going. Yes, everyone will remember Jim Weiske's ninety-five yard touchdown run on the kickoff behind the most perfect blocking possible. Baraboo won the game 25 to l3. Next came two ties with Richland Center and Sparta, separated by a Baraboo win over Tomah, then the heart-breaking Armistice Day game at Portage when the local team was dropped into third place with Sparta taking second behind Portage. Nevertheless, all the bays deserve unstinted praise for the show they made in '38, Bob Hunt, Kenny Harvey, Ted Deppe, and Jimmy Weiske were the four players from Baraboo who placed in the South Central All Star Poll. Jerry Haskins, as a blocker and slashing halfback, set an unequaled record. Holaday and Kerndt will also leave a gap hard to fill. XP . 4' ...fit if faq, , Q ,fi-sr 1. .. ggi. 1 .4 gli - W We S.

The season got off to a slow start as Baraboo was defeated by Wisconsin Dells, l8 to l3, and by Evansville, 22 to' l6. ln the first conference game Baraboo met Sparta on the home floor in a nip-and-tuck battle. With the score tied Ted Deppe, seeing action for the first time, sank the win- ning basket. The score was 19 to l7. A powerful La Crosse Logan team swamped Baraboo in the next conference tilt with a score of 36 to lO. However, the following week the team defeated Wisconsin Dells, 28 to l7. During Christmas vacationa game was played with the Alumni from the past two championship teams. The high school team, as distinct underdog, came through to win in a very close game, Zl to 20. The team, slowly rounding into top shape with Ted Deppe regaining his old form romped to victories in its next two conference games by defeating Tomah, 2l to l5, and Portage, 37 to Zl. Baraboo lost a hard-fouqht game to Reedsburg by the score of l4 to lO, and sustained a greater loss in Ted Deppe, as his collar bone was rebroken and forced him out of competition for the rest of the season. Then a slump resulted in losses to Sparta, La Crosse Logan, Reeds- burg, and Tomah. In the lost game of the regular season the team defeated Portage for the second time by an overwhelming score of 25 to I2. Entering the district tournament at Reedsburg, the Baraboo team was knocked out of the running by Portage in a game that was dull until the last minute, The score was 27 to 23. In the consolation bout with Lodi the boys played their best game of the season and won in a fast tilt, 33to 25. Top Row: Coach Willson, W. House, R. Campbell, R. Hall, Mr. Smedslod, T. Smith.

TRACK AND MINOR SPORTS Last year's track team started the year right by winning a triangular meet with Prairie du Sac and Wisccnsin Dells. Then followed a return meet with Madison Central in which the Baraboo squad was narrowly defeated, At the district meet in LaCrosse, Baraboo won and qualified a number of men for the state meet. Next Wisconsin Rapids defeated Baraboo in a closely contested meet at Wisconsin Rapids, Howard Thoenig and Pat Steffler placed high in the state contest with Thoenig winning the half mile and finishing fourth in the hundred-yard dash, and Steffler getting a second place tie in the pole vault. The winner of the annual high school golf tournament for the new trophy was again Robert Okern. The runner-up was Norman Quale.

This year the spring air went to the heads of about thirty-five of our athletes with pugilis- tic aspirations. When thus affected, they started to run up and down country roads and batter queer-shaped footballs hung down from boards. This went on for about a month. Then when they had run enough miles and socked the football o sufficient number of times, they paired off and climbed into a square ring with a rope fence around it. When someone rang a bell they rushed at each other with a wicked gleam in their eyes and pushed their fists in each others faces. They couldn't hurt each other much because they had big pillows tied to their hands. They kept jumping and dodging around inside the fence. Then the bell rang and they sat down on little stools in opposite corners. Two boys in white shirts rubbed them all over with sponges, Then the bell rang and they were at it again. At the end of these three rounds, a little fellow in a red sweater who had been rushing around in the fence raised one of the boy's hands and everyone cheered. lt was most confusing! There were two nights of this, and they called these episodes semi-finals and finals . A week later the boys ,and their coach, Ovid Smedstad, were royally entertained at o banquet by the American Legion. Robert Miller was given the fightingest fighter award. The win- ners of the following matches were presented with miniature golden gloves.

Why don'tcha go climb a tree, er somthin' intellectual like? September 23. This is the first time land I hope the lastl I ever heard of being troubled with mosquitoes at a football game. But there they were-millions of 'em, big as airplanes and with real propellors. Honest! f October 7. Then there was the football game where Mr. Smith appeared like Omar the tentmaker in his tent, with a towel draped about his ears. November I. What's the matter, Alice Ruth? Did you forget to put the cat out, or do you feel something slipping? November 2. Got in at two o'clock last night. Mother was waiting up for me, I pleaded guilty. Well, I'lI be seeing you in two weeks, gang! November 8. I sat out o homeroom period today, and lo and behold, I got a detention for it. Rank injustice, I calls it. Novernber IS. And I said, What big feet you have, Frank. And he said, The better to exterminate pests with, my dear. Now scram while I read this. November I7, Our little community center in fourth hour study hall is going on the rocks. This morning two more of us got moved. November 22. And then there was the day Sis and Jimmy didn't fight. November 23. And here's Small Fry, the super man of the Latin grammar, He is staying after class to do a bit of extra credit, no doubt. November 30. Smedstad was telling us about double dis- placement, you know, Boy Meets GirI . She was only an elec- tron's daughter, but oh, you atom! For further particulars take chemistry. Xnwox 62 ilIl ? X December 6. This gets to be a habit. Need l say more? December 12. I have just written some poetry for Latin class. Confidentially, eet steenks. January I9., My last finger nail and a perfectly good finger wave have been sacrificed to a history exam which looms like a buffalo herd on the horizon. This torture descends upon me at eight tomorrow. January 2O. Yes, that's what l always say, Crime does not pay . Just think, if I hadn't been so obliging to Mr. Smith in third hour study hall, l'd be sitting in there with youse guys and the English lit exam. Now, aren't you sorry you got four deten- tions instead of three like Me? January 25. Here's Eddy substituting in the fullback posi- tion. January 27. Then there was the Comedy of Errors starring Bill Moon and Norman Quale. They thought they had Miss McDonald foxed till she saw a picture in Trimpey's window. February 3. And here are a few ofthe lucky, lucky sixty-four on their way to first band, being very brave about not having enough free periods. February IO. Do you remember the broken hand epidemic? The school looked like an injury ward, and all because of a tobogganl February 20. We are working on the annual. We are tempted to leave these last' three pages blank with Auto- graphs at the top. February 27. Once, just once, I get to school early, and what do I find? The doors aren't open yet. Since it was kinda chilly and my Latin wasn't done yet, it just goes to prove there's more than one kind of cold feet. March 6. There are two periods, one day, thirteen weeks, three exam days, and one senior week before I graduate.

It's a dog's life, and I know exactly how this hound feels. I have just started selling my fifth set of tickets this year. March 3I. When my fifth grade teacher so pointedly re- marked, The person who is not prompt is not only discourteous but the scourge of humanity, I guess she had my number. Four tardy slips in one week and I'm convinced. Just a little old scourge, that's what I am. April IZ. Today at class play rehearsal when Bill Moon said, Did you see anyone following the gentleman in the gray coat, Earl answered, A brown coupe, old but serviceable. April I3. From the days of yore we have this picture-a group of students trying to decide what to do on the day of the walk out. May I suggest that if we had the opportunity, I bet we'd know what to do with it, April 29. I got my prom date practically the day before, and all I have in the house to wear is a pair of culottes. April 30. We got the proof sheets for the annual back to- day. We nearly expired when we found we had twelve more diary entries to dream up. This may seem funny to you, we hope. May 6. Remind me never to break in a pair of new shoes at a prom again. I'lI learn. Also remind me to wind my corsage with binder twine, I dumped it in the punch. May I5. Blessed are they who only stana and wait. Janitors don't do much of this though. Mostly they are wiping up ink or picking up scraps from that note you know perfectly well you should never have thrown away. ' May 22. Peter Breckey has turned up again-missing. Mr. Rinkob is having the greatest time trying to find him. Pete filled out a registration card, you know. May 25. . Sent my announcements out today. Here's hopin'! May 31. As if it isn't bad enough to come home to a house full of fresh paint and my bed in the middle of the living room. Then on my return to the mines today, what'met my eyes?
