Pate twonty-four JUNIOR CLASS ESQ EE:Q$E. The History of the Junior Class The famous class of '25 was born September 6, 1921. Its members are students of various talents and temperments. This is one of the reasons why it has distinguished itself. Their individual ideas and talents are fused into an organized body which incorporates the best points of each. We confess we were green in the early part of our freshmen year, but this color 'soon wore off and was replaced by a feeling of confidence in our- selves, even if we did not show it in the presence of our upper-classmen. Pigs tails and knee pants disappeared, and were replaced by' bobbed hair and long trousers. The first important event of previous years, namely, the initiation. did not take place, obviously because the sophs doubted their ability to execute this deed efficiently. The freshmen party soon loomed in sight and was enthusiastically prepared for long before it took place. In our sophomore year we looked down upon the frosh even though we . were not considered as upper-classmen. We staged an enjoyable class party and held several noisy class meetings. In both the sophomore and the j unior years we have been well repre- sented in athletics as well as in debating, oratory, and declamatory work. In football MacMurray, Mirlach, Edgerton, and Sterr upheld our honor, and in basketball Voreck, Yagodinski, MacMurray, Sterr, and Mirlach are players that could not have been spared by the team. Several of the class belonged to the track team, and were good point-getters. Yagodin- ski made a record for the pole-vault that will be hard to beat. The junior class play was a huge sdccess as was indicated by the vast amount of praise given by outsiders. Again the juniors did a great deal to make the High School circus the great success it was. They produced two of the most popular side-shows on the grounds. 'Our first semester ex- aminations are past and every one is now looking forward to the Junior Prom' which will be presented May .9th, 1924. This will be put .over with the same enthusiasm that icharacterizes everything this class attempts. .

They were fresh indeed then but have grown out of this state after be- coming accustomed to the wise ways of the upper classmen. The class has become more noted and are sophomores. They take part in all the activities of the higher classes. They have one noted player on theagirls, basketball team, Isabelle Kummer, who is working hard and well at making baskets. Courtney Starkweather, another noted sophomore, is upholding their honor on the boys team. He also played on the High School football team. The class is proud to say that it is at least been given a chance to be represented and show its ability. There are a number of the girls and boys of the sophomore class on the second teams of basketball. The class is represented in declamatory and oratory by a number of its members. Shortly after school began a party was planned but as there wasnlt any place to have it and the Gymii was not ready, it was postponed. As the time went on there were too many other things to be done and mixers were held so there wasnit any time. We are still hoping that we may have a mixer for the Senior High. in The future even more than the past will show the value to the school of the Class of 26. We know that we have talent, You will find it anywhere, Perhaps You think we havenlt But we know, better-there! For basketball therels Izzy? We'll all agree shels good, Therels Raymond, then, for book-keeping, A hundred, oft, hels stood.

SCHOO 5 HISTORY The History of the Beaver Dam High School The year 1859 marks the establishment of a city school system in Beaver Dam. The charter which the schools had under the town govern- ment was amended and a board of education was elected. This board div- ided the public schools into four departments: primary, intermediate, grammer, and high school. Each department was sub-divided into three grades. The studies which constituted the high school course were as fol- lows: arithmetic, English grammar, physiology, algebra, botany, geome- try, chemistry, and rhetoric. The first superintendent of schools was Eli Botsford who received his position through election by the people of Beaver Dam, the same way as do the members of the Board of Education. In reality he was the chairman of the board. The list of superintendents is as follows: Eli Botsford, J ohn A. Douglas, 'L. D. Brainard, E. C. McFetridge, Eli Botsford, Dr. J . E. McClure, Z. G. Trask, Dr. J. F. McClure, John Mayne, James J. Dick, J. E. McClure, Dr. C. W. Voorus, John C. Healy, H. B. Hubbell, John T. Wilson, Lester R. Creutz, H. M. Comins, and G. R. Ray. . In September, 1859, the following courses were added: astronomy, trig- onometry, moral philosophy, logic, and classes in bookkeeping and sur- veying if cirucmstances required. In February, 1874, English composition was substituted for English grammar. The next September German was added to the course. On J une 16, 1875, the Board of Education resolved that diplomas be granted to pupils of the High School who were entitled to graduate. Before this they graduated, but received no diplomas. One of the greatest problems which confronts the board of education of any city is the provision of sufficient room for the accommodation of the ever-increasing number of school children, and so it has been with Bea- ver Dam. At first the high school classes were held in with the grade classes, but the need of new buildings was soon realized; and there followed an era of school building for Beaver Dam. Grade schools were built and repaired and in 1872 the first high school was completed. This is now occupied as the second ward school. The late J udge A. Scott Sloan deliv- ered the dedication address on that occasion. Fifty-four pupils registered for instruction at this time. After about twenty years conditions were crowded again and a new high school was erected on West street in 1891 which cost about $25,000. This building was then considered excellent and well equipped. Page thirty-tllru ,. But in this discourse on buildings we must not forget the superinten- dents and principals who have been responsible for much of our progres- siveness. Mr. J. J. Dick was for twenty-two years superintendent of schools in Beaver Dam and laid the foundation of our present system. Mr. H. B. Hubbell, a principal for almost twenty years and one who also did a great deal for our high school, is still living and a prominent citizen of Beaver Dam. The writer is indebted to him for much of her informa- tion. In his first graduation class, that of 1889. there were four girls and seven boys. Among these were two that are now prominent business men in Beaver Dam. They are A. B. Chandler, cashier of the Old National Bank, and R. T. McLaughlin, member of the Board of Education and real- tor. Among the later classes were also many of our most distinguished citizens of today. Two of our high school teachers, Miss North and Miss J ohnson, also remember Mr. Hubbell as their teacher. Although we do not hear much of the activities of those times they were by no means uninteresting. Though there were no movies, slides were shown. An instrument known as a sunlight stereoptic was installed in the physics department. On a bright sunny day the shades were drawn and by means of the sun, pictures could be fiashed on the opposite wall which was finished in white. Pictures on travel, science, invention, his- tory, etc., were shown and many times the pupils were asked to prepare a lecture onicertain subjects to be given while the pictures were iiashed on the wall. By this means entertainments were given which were consider- ed a treat by the towns-people. Different entertainments were also put on. Among the most delight- ful was the annual Vermont waxed maple sugar party. The maply syrup was shipped from Vermont during the tapping season. This would have to be boiled and while yet hot poured on snow which was packed down tight. One year spring came early and by the timethat the syrup arrived the snow was gone. It seems there could be no party but nature came to as- sist and early in May there occurred such a snowstorm as has not been seen since; so the party was held after all on the tenth of May. Many times an authoris birthday was celebrated by giving a little play dramatized from the works of the author. Prof. Hubbell remembers a Colonial entertainment given one year. All pupils were to appear in Colonial costume. A play was given and after that a social reception for students and parents as well. Now we must turn again to the practical side. The school colors were chosen in 1900. The year 1906 saw the formation of the first football team which at that time was one of the best in this vicinity. In 1908 Mr. John T. Wilson became superintendent and principal. During his term courses in manual training and home economics were introduced. Before this Mr. Wilson had taught manual training occassionally when time permitted, but from this date manual training became a permanent course. Pan thirty-four Lester Creutz succeeded John T. Wilson in 1910. In this year the courses in home economics and manual training were placed on a basis of greater efficiency and success. He remained here six years. In 1911 the boys, and girls basketball teams were organized, and in 1912 a commerelal course was introduced. This course includes stenography, typewritlng, and bookkeeping. About this time debating, oratory, and declamatory work was also added, and the school song was chosen. Mr. Coming took charge of the Beaver Dam public schools for one year 1916-1917. The year 1917 marks the coming of Mr. George R. Ray, our present superintendent of schools. He is a prominent citizen of Beaver Dam and respected and esteemed by all who know him. The class of 1915 had given money to start a library but it was not until 1919 that the public school library was organized. It is now one of the best of its size in the state. This year also saw the organization of the J unior High School. Classes were held in what is known as thelWil- liamts building on Park avenue. This school was composed of the: two grades, seventh and eight. The following year the iGreen and Gold and the annual were started and in 1921 we entered the Lawrence Inter- Scholastic Debating League. There had been debating before, but it had been dropped for a time. Since our High School was organized in 1859, studies have been chang- ed and more added and also some have been discarded. The list of courses now offered in the Senior High School is very different from that formerly offered. At different times the same person was superintendent and principal but as the amount of work increased, it became necessary to have a princi- pal to take charge of part of the work. Two of the principals were Mr. Gronert and Mr. De Bruin, both highly regarded men. At present Mr. Luedke, highly respected by the people of Beaver Dam as well as by the students, fills this position. For some years it was known that the High School building was be- coming too small to hold the ever increasing number of pupils. From 1914 to 1924 the number of people attending High School has just about doubl- ed. In 1922 the people of Beaver Dam saw fit to erect the beautiful new building that we now have. It is one of the best of its kind in the state and we can justly be proud of it. The citizens of Beaver Dam will never regret this act. In the autumn of 1923 classes were first held here and a change was made concerning the Junior High School, It is now composed of three grades, seventh, eighth, and ninth. The tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades now comprise what is known as the Senior High School. We are now enjoying our new school and hope that it will ever pros- per and be successful in turning out good citizens who will be a credit to our state. Page thirty-hve Description of Beaver Dam High School For a long time after it had outgrown its quarters Beaver Dam High School carried on its work in the building which the fourth ward school needed, and after some time the people finally decided to build one. The building was erected at a cost of about $200,000 and was ded- icated on Friday, November 30, 1923. The Board of Education at that time consisted of the following members: A. W. Lueck, J . W. Deniger, R. T. McLaughlin, 0. S. Phelps, J . tJ . Schumacher, A. J . Sherman and H. R. Vetter. The building is built mainly of brick, tile, concrete, and stone and is located on Fourth street. The building has many wide corridors and stairways, and well lighted and well ventilated rooms enable the students to do good work. On the first floor, or basement, are the home economics,manua1 training and commercial departments. Besides these there is the large , gymnasium sixty by eighty feet. On either side are coat and toilet rooms including showers. On the second fioor are the library, office, balcony, Latin, history, mathematics rooms and recitation rooms for the J unior High. On the third, or top fioor, are two study halls each seating ninety pupils, and three rooms devoted to science work, and three other recitation rooms. The west side is occupied by the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. The cloak rooms on the west side are for the boys and on the east for girls. The building is heated by two large boilers. It is equipped with clocks in each room governed by a master clock in the office, intercommunicating telephones, bells, and fire alarms. Beaver Dam should be proud of its High School which is one of the best in the state. This poem concerns all learners and the learned Who supervise the teaching, term on term; ttOur school? the rendevous of these, I hold A fitting shelter quite, for Green and Gold? It stands a monument to all wise learning; To satisfy the present and yearning For better things in life where iere we go; In truth, a place where many ideals grow From childish thoughts and fancies unadorned; Here many worthy aims and purposes are formed. Completed in the year of itwenty-three ttOur School foremost in all our thoughts shall be, As we go out into a world of strife, T0 battle for ourselves in daily life. Page thirty-swm ALUMNI The Graduate They asked for us to write a poem-think we are a poet; I wonder if by any chance the following will show it. Now poets has got privileges-Jt isnit classed as crime, If we manhandle English when'we gotta make things rhyme. - We asked them what to write about. They said, ttJust shoot a line. 0. K., says we, and answers back, ttWe sure can do that fine? Before a fellow graduates and deigns to give a thought To all the petty problems, With which this life is fraught, He sits and mopes and dreams and hopes That Chance will hand him all the ropes. Alas! Ye Gods! He little knows It only works in picture shows. He dreams of lands to conquer and of places to exploit, From the lowly Rolling Prairie to the city of Detroit. He plans, upon the Ship of 'Life, to sail in full command And never once considers if heill be a plain deck hand. It doesnit matter what he does, it's bound to come out right. You couldntt bring him down to earth, heis higher than a kite. You gotta give him credit though, heis hitched up to a star, We hope of course heill hang right on and keep his stock at par. We often hear critics, you know the kind of guys! Who never give a helping hand but like to criticize. Youlll often hear iem warble that education's bunk- And the depths of youthful folly in which our nation's sunk. There are a few , we wonit deny, who've earned the scorn of guilt; But then a lot depends, of course, on the principles they,ve built. So just a word of warning will probably be in order. Don,t do a thing you,d like to when you know you hadnlt oirter. We're glad this poem is almost done and probably so are you, But since you got so far along, you ought to see it through. It was meant for the Alumniewe blundered bad we feare- So we,ll dedicate it to them and end the poem right here. Page forty Clarence M. Arndt Janet A. Barney Adelbert M. Bearder Arthur J.

Gibbii Sterr, i20, well known local athlete, was captain of 1923 and 1924 foot-ball squad at Carroll College, on which he played Half, and was the cause of many of Carrollis victories this past season. He also played forward on the Carroll basket ball team and gave a good account of him- self all season. They also say that he is seriously in love. ltFreddiell Schultz, 21, also well known local athelete, spent his first year at Carroll and has made a fine record thus far in school activities. Freddy has also received Waukesha Rotary Club honors, which body pre- sented him with a scholarship to cover his four years of instruction there. The selection of Freddy was made after the Club had voted to present some worthy student with a four year scholarship at Carroll. Freddy is a good athlete as well as student, playing guard on the Carroll five and end on the football squad. John LaFluer, 21, was President of a section of the sophomore class at Marquette.

Mr. Keil was also business manager of the Wisconsin Advertising Service, a student firm which puts out the College Blotter, a quarterly publication. Besides his activities, Marvin has maintained a very good average in all his school work and has made a name for himself very early in his college career. Pan forty-mo The Gift to the New High School What is a school room without a teacherst desk? So thought the committee of the Alumni Association appointed to select a gift to the new High School. At the annual Alumni banquet and dance held in J une, 1923, it was de- cided to present the new High School with some suitable gift, the nature of which was to be decided upon by a committee of three appointed from the members. Prior to the meeting of this committee, suggestions were sought from the school authorities and teachers as to what was needed and wanted to help make the new High School perfect. When the committee met there was a lively discussion as to whether the gift should be practical or ornamental. After some time it was agreed that should the Alumni purchase something strictly ornarrlental such as a large painting or statue, there would be no suitable place to put it where everyone in the school would get the benefit of it, in view of the fact that there was no main assembly hall. It was also thought that -in view of the dany things that were actually needed to complete the equipment of the new building, it would be unwise to get something which could very well be omitted for the time being. Then came practical suggestionsegym equipment, outfits for the science laboratories; cooking utensils for the domestic science courses; books, maps,and furniture for the school library-eall of which were duly discussed pro and con and finally discarded as being either out of reach of our limited funds, or for some other reason equally important. However, it so happened tcall it fate or what you wilD that one of the members of this committee happened to be on the committee of the Class 1916 to select a gift to the High School. At that time, while in one of the class rooms, the teacher tried repeatedly to open one of the drawers of her desk, but all in vain ; she couldnt budge it an inch. Finally, becoming ex- asperated, she said: For goodness sake, if you want to give something worth while to the school, get some new teachers' desks W Page forty-thru This suggestion was immediately voted on by the members of the Class of 1916 and carried and in due time new desks were furnished for every room in the old High School building, and the old ones stored away. With the building of the new High School came the problem of fur- nishing teacheris desks for all the rooms and as these greatly outnumbered those of the old school, it became necessary to again press into service the old desks. The Alumni committee thought, therefore, that if the old desks were not good enough for the old school they certainly were not good enough for the new. Therefore, six new teachers desks were ordered, which were somewhat beyond the means of the Association but this debt was assumed by the Committee and a resolution was made to earn this money and thus clear the books before the annual meeting of the Alumni Association in J une, 1924. This debt has been more than cleared and the new desks have been in the school for some months past and it is generally agreed that they add very much to the attractiveness of the rooms. The Alumni Association feels that it has given something to the school which is both ornamental as well as practical and it hopes that the teachers, as well as the scholars, will get as much pleasure from the use of these desks as the Alumni Association did from giving them; thus adding its mite to make our th School perfect. Our High School! Reverently we gaze Upon the structure reared so high, Within this building our school life So swiftly oier us seems to 11y. I wonderahave you ever thought Of what this building means to us ? And what it will to others mean When all our bones have turned to dust? Our High School! Tis a worthy shrine, ,Tis built to wisdom and to truth, iTwill triumph over ignorance, And be a lasting guide to youth. Pap forbI-fngr Basket Ball Games and Dance On December 21, 1923, basket ball games were held between the High School and the Alumni Association, which were witnessed by a large num- ber of fans. The girls game was called at seven oiclock, and as this was the first game of the season for the High School team, they were very anxious to win. The score was very close all during the game and although it finally ended 9-6 in favor of the High School, the Alumni girls put up a good fight and made the High School team work for very point they got. Immediately after the girls' game, the boys, game was called. In order to add to the interest the following line-up was put in for the first five minutes: Ken Fisher, Bill Lawrence, Pat Baskfield, Spot Stoddart and and Beck Krueger. Although these fellows were much larger and heavier than their op- ponents, the High School boys held their own and the five minute period ended with a score of 0 - 0. The game was then resumed with a team com- posed of some of the later members of the Alumni Association and ended with a victory for the Alumni. A dance was then held in the gym and was attended by a large crowd. The music was furnished by Jacob,s Singing Orchestra and everyone had a very good time. The total receipts for the evening went to the Alumni Association, which money was used by them towards their gift to the High School. The Faculty The Alumni Association boasts of having the following members on the Beaver Dam Public School Faculty: Mary Spellman, Emma Prellwitz, Stella Powers, Elizabeth Scully, 'Laura Keller, Mary Johnson, Sarah Riggs, Elsie North,,Annette Lambeck, Floyd Burgess, Beatrice Mulvaney. Page forty-five ALUMNI FOOTBALL TEAM Page furty-six The Fifth Annual Homecoming The High School Alumni scored an important triumph on Thanksgiv- ing Day, November 29, 1923, in putting over the big Annual Homecoming. It was by far bigger and better than ever and was the outstanding activity of the school year and something that links the present to the past and re- minds us of the service we owe to our school. The first feature of the Homecoming was the attractive displays of Green and Gold in the show windows of the business section, Which not only afforded a good chance for advertising the Homecoming and keeping before the public our school, but showed the outside interest that is taken in our High School. The next feature of no less importance, which started the occasion off with a ttBang was the big parade at two dclock. This was headed by the renowned J unior Band, followed by class floats, comic fioats, decorated cars, and the like. The parade started from the new High School, travers- ed the downtown streets and ended at the Athletic field where the main attraction of the day took place. The Homecoming celebration was really built around the football game in the afternoon between the High School and the Alumni, which took place at two thirty. Music at the field was furnished by the Junior Band, followed by a snake dance and other stunts which added the ttpunch and pep to the game. The game was witnessed by the largest crowd of the season and be- live us, not one of the vast crowd went away dissatisfied, for it was a fight to the finish. The High School were determined to reverse the score from other years and the Alumni were more determined to hold their own. The score was very close throughout the first three quarters of the game but in the fourth quarter, Schultz and Sterr started their work and pulled some spectacular end runs which pushed the pig-skin over the goal several times and gave the Alumni a complete victory. Of course, we will have to admit at this time, that we had a little ad- vantage over the High School boys in having Earl BaSkfield our heavy- weight center, who was largely responsible for the Alumni victory. Pm forty-uvan The terminating feature of the big Homecoming was the dance held in the evening at the High School Gym. This was the first social event held in the new High School and one to be remembered by all who attended. Great credit is due to the committee for their artistic work in decorating the Gym. Green and Gold color combinations were used throughout and with the addition of pennants of various classes and colleges gave an Athletic effect. Windy Jacobs and his singing orchestra carried off the honors by fur- nishing the music for the dance. Special numbers were rendered between dances by the High School quartette and Ukelele Club, and lunches were served by the Domestic Science girls. This terminated the fifth annual Homecoming of the High School Alumni, which can truthfully be said by all those who attended to have been bigger and better than ever before. The High School Alumni Association is composed of the graduates of the local High School. Its present membershiip is about seven hundred and each year this number is increased by the number of students gradu- ating from High School, as they automatically become members of the Association. Its annual meeting is held on the Friday night of Commence- ment week each year and consists of a business meeting, entertainment, banquet and dance. This is the annual reunion of the graduates of the Beaver Dam High School and is always looked forward to by all members. The officers for this year are as follows: PresidenteH. F. Reckner. Vice-President-Ruth Lueck. SecretaryeArthur Bedker. Treasurer-Gladys Zinser. Mr. W. E. Snyder was re-elected last June as secretary of the Asso- ciation but resigned as such during the year and it was necessary to ap- point a new secretary. At this time we wish to thank Mr. Snyder for his many years of service in behalf of the Association. Mr. Snyder is a member of the Class of 1892. Page forty-eight ..

The question for debate was itResolved: that Congress enact a law embodying the essential features of the Huber Unemployment Bill. constitutionality conceded? The amrmative team traveled to Horicon and defeated the negative of that city by a 2-1 decision. The affirmative team was composed of Albert Butler tteam leaderi, Mae Theisen and Ronald Edgerton. The Green and Gold will lose two de- baters from this team as Albert Butler and Mae Theisen graduate this year. Both afiirmative and negative teams worked hard under the able direction of Coach Risser, and developed strong cases. The first triangular debate was held on February 14, the affirmative meeting Portage here. They were defeated by a 2-1 decision. By losing this debate Beaver Dam High School was eliminated from the Lawrence league for the rest of the season. On February 28 the affirmative travelled to Waupun and defeated that team by a 2-1 decision. This was the last debate of the season. Page hfty-three Mr. Risser, coach Ruby Welsch Helbing N egative Debate Team The negative team was composed of Gifford Ruby tteam leadeth, Carl Helbing and John Welsch. Two of these men were veterans of last year and third, though he had not had former experience, proved to be a valu- able asset to his team. All of these debaters will graduate this year. The first debate was held on February 11 with Horicon. The negative were victorious winning by a 2-1 decision. The triangular debate was held on February 14; the negative team traveling to Mauston where they defeated the amrmative team of that city by a 3-0 decision. Portage the third school of the triangle won both debates thus eliminating Beaver Dam and Portage from the 'Lawrence league. On February 28 the negative met and defeated Waupun affirmative by a 2-1 decision. This closed the debating season for Beaver Dam. Page flfly-four Oratory The Green and Gold is also represented each year in the Dodge County Oratorical Contest. This Oratory Contest was held at Horicon last year, 1923, in connection with the Declamatory Contest. When the call was issued for orators, ten boys were heard from. From these ten orators, six were eliminated at the first tryout. This left four for the final tryout. The two out of these four, who were chosen to represent the Green and Gold at Horicon were Gifford Ruby and Arthur Bennett. At Horicon these two boys were just as successful as the girls were in their contest. Gifford Ruby was awarded second place and Arthur Bennett third place. A boy from Reeseville was given first honors. Since our girls received the second and third places in the declamatory contest and our boys second and third in the oratory conntest, we were further honored by being awarded winners of the County Meet. Since we were the winners, we received a silver loving cup. The Green and Gold orators were coached by Mr. Filbey which ac- counts for some of the success of the orators. We regret that we will not have him with us for the 1924 oratory contest, but we are glad to have his place filled by so competent a coach as Mr. Risser. Put fifty-flvo Declamatory Every year the Green and Gold is represented by two declaimers at the Dodge County Declamatory Contest. Last year, 1923, twenty-three girls responded for the tryouts to see which two would represent the Green and Gold at Horicon. Because of this large number and also because of the evenness of the ability of the contestants, three preliminary tryouts were held to decide the two winners. In the first tryout thirteen of the twenty- three were eliminated angl in the second tryout six were eliminated from the remaininng ten. This left four to compete in the final tryout. The girls who were chosen from these four and who were to represent our school were Verel Knaup, and Dorothea Lueck. At Horicon these two girls did very well. Dorothea Lueck was awarded second place and Verel Knaup, third place. A girl from Horicon received first honors. These declamers were trained by Miss North whose coaching accounts for part of the girls success. The girls going out for declamatory this year, 1924, will also be under the supervision of Miss North and every prediction points to another successful year for declamatory work.

Dummer Critice-Mr. Risser. MarshaleMerril Belling CriticeMr. Risser The Philakean Society was organized three years ago under the di- rection of Mr. Rinehard, a former teacher of the High School. A consti- tution was drawn up and other formalities were enacted which are essen- tial in the formation of a new society. Since that time the society as a whole has very successfully partici- pated in the various activities which the school fosters. The primary motive of this society is the instruction of its members in the lines of public speaking: impromptu, extemporaneous, and prepared speeches; and debating. This Philakean Society is open to students of this school. At present there are twenty-two members. The meetings are held in the High School on the second and fourth Monday of each school month at 7 :30 p. m. Many interesting programs are held during the course of the year. Discus- sions on some of the main topics of the day are very helpful to the mem- bers. J oint programs with other clubs are held at various times and these are especially interesting. The Philakean Society and the Hi-Y are the only boysl societies con- nected with the school. Because of all the benefits which can be received from such an organization, benefits which will be very helpful in later life, it is hoped that the Philakean Society will always remain a popular or- ganization. Page lifty-sevcn Ukelele Club At the beginning of the year a ttUke Club was organized by Miss Grace Olson. All girls having ttukes were invited to join and in a short time there were many members. The girls met every Tuesday afternoon after school for a while but then changed their meetings to Monday even- ings in the gym. The club has had several engagements. They played at the Ameri- can Legion Auxiliary Valentine Party, at the Carnival, and again for the Legion. They were asked to play on several other occasions but could not because of other business. Miss Olson and the girls hope to have more members and play for more entertainments in the future. School Orchestra The orchestra, under the directorship of Miss Grace Olson made a good showing this school year. Owing to irregular practice, which was due to home conditions, and many affairs which involved the members, they were unable to do the best work until the close of the old year. But as they entered the new High School, they have rehearsed oftener and have played for many oc- casions and pleased all the listeners. All the members except one are seniors and the orchestra of next year will feel the loss of four good players. Piano, Director ....................... Grace Olson Violin .............................

The band has played at the Fire Prevention program, Dedication, and Home Coming programs, at football and basketball games, has given con- certs and tuned in at many other places and times. This organization, like all other successful organizations, has accom- plished its ends only through the effort and cooperation of its members, and its able director Prof. D. C. Burkholder.

Victor 'Lohaus Treasurer ............................ Bud McMurray Advisor .............................. Mr. Bagemihl A year of success has Visited our Hi-Y club in many ways. The Hi-Y spirit which is to create, maintain and extend high standards of Christian character throughout school and community has become very prominent among the members. Many new recruits were initiated into the club at the beginning of the year, and from time to time throughout the entire year others were being added. Efforts were put forth to make the meetings more interesting, as well as effective. A method was found which fulfilled this hope in giving each member an opportunity to take part in the meeting in the form of discus- sion on exceedingly Vital problems. Besides, each member was assigned a topic which he would speak on at a particular meeting. This program seemed to create greater interest and be more helpful to the boys than any other program tried. On special occasions speakers were obtained from out of town and also prominent business men and teachers were asked to speak at the club meetings. The social side of the club which is of great importance in the young lives, was far from being neglected. Many socials, and a sleigh ride party to which different organizations from the school were invited, seemed to create considerable interest, and made the club become better known among the students. The father and son banquet, which is an annual event put on by the club, proved a large success. A football-basketball banquet was given to the members of the teams who had a very successful year. In order to raise money, the Ripon College Glee Club was secured by the Club Mixers The High School Gym is a source of great pleasure to the students of Beaver Dam High School as most of the students will testify. As soon as the gym was completed the seniors held a mask ball. It was very well attended and every one seemed to have had a splendid time. Merril Owen's orchestra furnished the music. Prizes were awarded to the best maskers. Sandwiches and cocoa were served during the evening. The hall was decorated in American beauty and white and was indeed a credit to the ltClass of 24. However, strange to say, the j uniors took all the prizes. Not to be out done by the seniors, the j unior class held a miixer later. This mixer was in the form of a kid party and all the Senior and Junior High School was invited. Although the decorations were not as elaborate as at the mask ball, the kids seemed to have had a pretty good time. Windy Jacobs and his singing orchestra furnished the music. Edith Schulze and Glen Cramer carried off the prizes. Some time after this the J unior High gave a party. The party start- ed after school and continued until nine olclock. Although a regular or- chestra was not hired, there were plenty of dancing, games, and good things to eat. In the past years when the classes had mixers, it was necessary to hire a hall. Now every one will agree with me that we can have much more fun in the gym.- Pay :ixty-ong '9? School Spirit Club After suggestions had been made by several teachers that some kind of organization or society be formed to promote school spirit and co- operation among the student body, several of the senior girls organized a club for that purpose, and it was called the School Spirit Club. Member- ship is open only to girls of the senior class, but before the end of each school year the junior girls are to be initiated into the club. Some of the things the School Spirit Club has been interested in are mass meetings, holiday programs, showing good sportsmanship to teams from other towns when they come here, and dances. The girls have taken a very active part in carrying this work out. They have undertaken to have lunches for the different teams after games. A very interesting Christmas program was arranged by getting the different grades of J unior and Senior High to take part in it. The girls of the School Spirit Club do earnestly hope that the actvi- ties of this organization will be carried on by each succeeding senior class. Page sixty-two The Carnival A carnival was held on February 21, 1924, at Beaver Dam High School. It was the first time that a performance of that kind has ever been given here. The parade which was held at 12 otclock at noon was a great success. All the classes had their floats, decorated cars, or were otherwise represented in the parade. At 7:30 a vaudeville program was given before about eight hundred '2 and fifty people. This was the main attraction of the evening. It con- sisted of fancy dances, music and singing. After the vaudeville was over, . the gymnasium was cleared for the jitney dance which followed. Besides the main attraction in the gym and the jitney dance there were numerous side shows and candy booths. These were put up by the different classes and organizations. Some of the side shows were: ttRoberts the Wizard? nCourt of Domestic Relations? Jab-o-wak, Jap- anese Garden, ttDown on Broadway, Hebe Jebes, 2Bluebeardts Wives? ttThe Freaks? and the ttLiving Comics? and The Minstrels? All of the side shows were very well attended. The carnival was a great success. This success was due to the co- operation and good will of all the students and teachers in the High School. Pm iiwa-thru Junior Class Play ttNothing But the Truthii, the junior class play, was presented at the Davison Theatre, December 7, 1923. Not only was the play a financial success but also a success from the histronic standpoint. This was largely due to the splendid, patient coach- ing of Mr. Bagemihl. Is it impossible to tell the truth absolute truth, for twenty-four hours? It can be done for Bob Bennet, the hero of the play, succeeded in accomplishing this difficult feat. He makes a bet with his business partners in proving this point. After many trying experiences he wins the bet, although he very nearly loses his closest friends and his financee. We can surely say that the juniors have showed excellent talent in in putting on one of the most sprightly, amusing comedies ever presented by the High School. This well-trained cast included: Gerald Voreck, Victor Lohaus, Myron Bartell, Henry Jurs, Dell Wegener, Pearl Roedl, Marion Zimmerman, Dorthea Lueck, Evelyn May, Mary Welch and Irene Weber.

A mummy of tiKing Tutlsl, time was found to have short hair and the swellst in New York took the idea and so did the lesser menials; it was a fad. Now, of course, they all have their way of doing it. Some will ttshingle it so that their heads appear like African thatched huts, with the upper shingles overlapping the lower. Then there is the ttBuster Brown bob imitating just as the name suggests, the hair cut of the fam- ous Buster Brown of the famous shoes. Also we have a very common var- iety of this nuisance which is obtained by using a curling iron to fuzz the ends of the hair up so that if you chance to be behind one of these master- pieces, you will turn the air blue in vain attempts to pierce the camoufloge or to see around it. As a result, folding periscopes will inevitably be the next great fad for men so as to enable them to go to a show and to see the hero swat the villian instead of spending their time stretching their necks around the aforesaid common nuisance. Oh, yes! We almost forgot to mention the it47 varieties of bangs, the commonest being obtained by selecting a small lock of wire, or hair as it usually is referred to, and attempting to make it lie down until the next operation. Then a small quantity of moisture is introduced on the thumb and forefinger and the work is finished by twisting the wire or hair into an inverted question-mark over the nose or eye. Now the girls claim that bobbed hair saves time, but we know better; havenlt we seen those combs at work slicking down hair or fuzzing it up? Well, I should groan we have. ' Here we will touch upon the vital issue of the plague; the wearing of bobbed hair by the ttgirls of from 25 to 50 years of age. The fad has been acquired by many who are in the business world, much to the disgust of many business men, unless, the female concerned iidoesnit look a day over sweet sixteen. Personally we agree with the business men because he likes an atmosphere conducive to work and with such a sight on his land- scape he cant be exspected to be kind and gentle. Summing up these points the average person would think that this article is entirely opposed to bobbed hair. Its true that we have not ad- vanced any argument for the affirmative, but we unanimously agree that bobbing hair depends on the girl and the hair. We have several strong reasons for this statement, one of them being one of the females just men- tioned. I thank you. Pan sisty 41w The Haunted House It was a beautiful spring day and the sun was just going down. I had been climbing the Catskill Mountains all the afternoon and was very tired. As fortune would have it, I soon came to a hut and was about to go in when my attention was attracted by a huge sign which read: BEWARE THIS HOUSE IS HAUNTED. That didnit sound very inviting but I did not believe in haunted hous- es so, trying the door, I found it unlocked and entered. I was very much surprised to find plenty of provisions, wood, and a neatly made bed. As I had had nothing to eat since my noon day meal, which was very light, I was nearly famished, and it did not take me long to build a fire and fill my famished stomach. It was nearly eight oiclock when I bolted the door and went to bed. Suddenly I heard a loud knocking at the door ttWhat are you doing in my house? Isnit it enough to knock us about? Why do you lock us out of our own hut ? I at once thought of the sign, ttThis House is Haunted. At last I gained control of myself and went to the door. A group of men and one woman formed about me. They all looked alike. The fat- est one had curly black hair and a large grin on his face. ' I ainit done nothing to you? I told them. iiOuch! donit hit us like that, they all cried at once. HI didnit struck out, I cried, ttwhat for did you yell? tiYou see? said the fattest one, tiwhen you use us in the wrong place, it is like hurting us. But who is you ? I asked. HWe are called by people who know us iParts of Speech; he con- tinued. I am Mr. Noun and this is my brother, Mne'i itOh! yes, Mr. Pro Noun. I broke in, I remember him. tlYes, he went on, Mr. Pro Noun, but please do not interrupt me again. Mr Verb and Mr. Ad Verb are my cousins. My very dear Uncle Adjective and Aunt Prepositional Phrase have complained, too, and have asked me what to do to make you stop abusing them. iAt this I hung my heady Here is my nephew, Conjunction. Where is he, asked Mr. Pro Noun with much alarm. Conjunc- Pan sixty-six tion, Conjunction? he began calling very loudly. uConjunction, where are you ? Here under the bed? came a sobbing. That girl hit you so I crawled under the bed so she couldnit hit mef' I was just beginning to realize what they were talking about and started to apologize when they picked up sticks and commenced beating me. I closed my eyes with fear but they started laughing. I opened them to see the joke and they were gone. The laughing was the birds singing in the trees. Their sticks with which I was being beaten were drops of rain leaking through the roof on my face. Even if it was a dream I will at least try to keep the parts of speech from saying, tiOuch. I ought to at least after such a dreadful lesson ard it is no wonder the people put up that sign. But I channged it and put: itBEWARE OF PARTS OF SPEECH. The Lake At Sunset As one stands in the vicinity of the Pump Works or Skunk Island, during the hours of twilight on any autumnal day, a most inspiring View meets his gaze. The eyes are directed across the two miles of golden water, and finally fall upon the distant shore where the sun is slowly sink- ing. Here, silhouetted against the tinted sky lies a marsh, its yellow rushes sizzling in the wind, its brown cat tails like sentinels standng on guard. A mirage seems to stand before onetis eyes as the marsh, lying against the far painted sky, takes on the appearance of an oasis in a desert. The sun has sunk until the horizon cuts the burning ball into a semi- circle, and the marsh which had been golden rushes and dark rocks, becom- es a grey hulk in the offing. The painted clouds blended with tints of gold, silver, and purple stand in bold relief against the golden sky. The mirage is gone; you are about to turn your steps toward home, when something new attracts the eye causing you to look again. Slowly but steadily iioating along the water, darkly painted against the horizon, sweeps a flock of ducks. They dip down toward the marsh like trained soldiers, clear it, and are lost in the darkness. Pan sixty-sevou Mr. Beverlyls Golden Well TimeeColonization days in West Virginia. PlaceeWest Virginia.

Page twenty Biography of My Grandfather John Herr was born February 2, 1848, in the country of Germany. When he was two years of age, in 1850, his parents migrated to this coun- try, settling in the town of Trenton. M- When John was four years old his father and mother died, leaving him to be brought up by his grandfather. At fourteen years of age he was a carpenter and helped build a log house and a granary. When nineteen years of age he built a house which still stands in Trenton, and is kept up by Mr. Keil. John had had 15 edu- cation and never studied carpentry but nature had provided this skill for him. When nineteen years old he was married to a young lady residing at Trenton and they both moved to Beaver Dam. John Herr owned four and one-half acres of land in Beaver Dam and so he built a cozy little house where he lived with his wife. In later years he built a more modern house. During 1891' he had the contract to build what is now the Old High School. When building the school he used a horse named ttLady to pull the bricks and lumber up to the men that were working for him. Some of the buildings John Herr built are Warren Cottage, Fourth Ward, Old High School, many residences, and the First Lutheran Church. When the church was finished he was given a silver cup by the committee of the church for the nice work he did. The church was built in 1892 and was finished in 1893. John Herr now owns the cement works at Beaver Dam J ct. For fifty-two years from 1860 to 1918 J ohn Herr was carpenter and contractor. . He always believed in educating his children because he had never had an education and he knew how it was to get along without one. J ohn Herr has had many experiences in his life that would be enough to fill a large book. He is now at the age of seventy-six and residing at 400 Beaver Street. Page seventy-am Unfair First Impression The average person often lets his first impression become his de- cision. You will find this statement true in the line of science and inven- tions. Time after time, the life histories of scientists tell how they have been rebuked again and again by people who thought them insane because they were doing something unusual. Let me recall this incident in the life of Daguerre, the man who helped greatly in the discovery of photography. His wife, on first impression, thought him crazy, because, as she expressed it, he was trying to catch the sunlight in a little black box. She even went so far as to hire a phy- sician to examine him, to see if he was crazy. Finally after his great invention, she found her great mistake, but it took her a long time to be convinced. So it was with Otto Von Guericke, the man that discovered the barom- eter. This man lived in a little German Village. He built a large pipe which rose from the cellar of his house to a height of about ten feet above the chimney. He regulated this pipe in some way so as to tell the amount of air pressure near the top of the house and that at the cellar. The Ger- man people thought that he was communicating with the devil and they made him take it down. But it is through him that we get the barometer which is so useful to the scientists and every one else of today. The case of Henry Ford is very similar to those so far mentioned. The people of Detroit noticed that when he was a very small lad he liked con- structing engines far better than even attending school and as he was al- ways sickly, they declared that something must be wrong with his men- tality. The people of Detroit, today think far differently of Mr. Ford than when he was a hard working youngster trying to make his engines run. Thus I have shown that it is best not to judge rashly when people are striving to carry out ideas which they believe will benefit the world. Page seventy-two Murder No doubt, it will seem unreasonable, when I tell you that a certain individual in our school is guilty of this terrible crime, murder. However I have actual proof of this fact, which I will endeavor to relate to you. I might also add, before I proceed in my story any further, that there are a number of other students who also are guilty of this terrible offense; their deeds, however, have not, at the present time, been made known. The name of this murderer is Abou Ben Mocko, a Turk, as the name suggests; at least he is qualified in practically every way to be one, if he is not. A Turk is usually noted for his spirit of revenge, and his brutal and vicious ways of attaining his revenge. Abou Ben Mocko possesses both of these qualities in the extreme. He even went so far as to kill, in order to obtain, that which he desired, which was merely, a peaceful sleep, disturbed neither by conscience nor man. A strange desireeah, yes, but it was what Abou Ben Mocko needed most. No longer could he be constrained to sit at his desk at school day after day, and listen to the mutterings of his teachers, whose words passed over his head as the wind blows through the trees. He was going to end it alleyes all, and one day was all he wanted. He felt sure that if he had but one day that he could call his own, it would be possible for him to ob- tain that peaceful sleep. But that day, which he could call his own, never came. When at last he could not do without it any longer, with a determina- tion that even his mother could not change, he proposed to yield to the dreadful temptation which Was to murder, this being his only method of possessing that needed rest. Abou Ben Mocko lived with his parents in a pleasant home near the down town district. About two blocks away was a restaurant, which was continually humming and buzzing with people. Here, too, was where Abou Ben Mocko spent many of the wee small hours of the morning. The night before he committed the terrible deed he was, as usual, out very late, or rather early as it was about three olclock in the morning, when he came strutting into the restaurant. He had, I suppose, been attending some dance, or else playing in an orchestra, which he did quite frequently. Pan seventy-Ihru He found a table, where he sat down with two or three other night- hawks, and had a sandwich or two, and then went to his home. On his way to his bedroom, he had to pass by his mother's door. She heard his footsteps, and her trembling voice called to him in the dark, it Jood-night, Abou. But there was not a reply, Abou Ben Mocko did not hear it; his head was filled with a great many other buzzing sounds. He reached his bed, and partly undressed, he flung himself upon it. But he did not sleep. His mind was too filled with the thoughts of the evening he had spent, and most of all with the thoughts of the terrrible deed he was going to commit the coming day. At last the morning came. It happened too that that day he was to have had examinations in school. This thought, is no doubt. what en- ticed him most of all to commit the murder. Also it was because of this fact that the murder was so terrible. From the hallway came the sound of his motherls voice calling, Abou, it's time for school. Breakfast is waiting for you. There was not an answer, Abou Ben Mocko was too busy fighting with his conscience. He had to decide now, whether or not he would yield to the temptation. No, it was not his mother whom he intended to murder. He was not as contemptable as all that; in in fact he loved his mother dearly. But the two alternatives which were struggling within his mind, were, $iShall I or shall I not go to school today. He was exceedingly tired; his head was heavy and dizzy. He knew that if he went to school, he would surely fail in his examinations. He knew too that if he stayed at home, he would commit the murder. Once, he almost decided to go. He gave a sudden j ump from the bed in answer to his motherls call. But, oh, his head, it felt as though a thun- der bolt had struck him. He realized his resistance to his fatal desire was useless, and with desparation and determination, he flung his body heavi- ly upon the bed. His head sunk deep into the pillow. He remained there and killed-the great Father Time. Put seventy-four Lives of Folly The trees were budding, the sun shining brightly and balmy breezes of May were wafted through the windows of the superintendentls office. All out of doors was beautiful and complacent but within the office the chill of winter still lingered. The principal of the school entered the ofiice and added to its frigid atmosphere by his remarks to the superintendent. Here it is nine thirty and fifteen seniors are still absent. Ten have come in for tardy excuses. I tried to get some satisfaction concerning - their tardiness but no one would give any definite or reasonable answer? Ilm not going to stand for it. Some of those wise seniors who think they are going to get through on basketball and football are going to be sadly mistaken. Yes, said the superintendent turning about in his swivel chair, tTve noticediit myself. Kenneth Placer seems to be one of the worst ones. I used to expect good work from him. This morning he refused to recite saying that he hadn't prepared his lesson. Upon questioning I found no one who had, so I dismissed the class. The principal stood with knitted brows, then added, This is once when I cant blame the girls for keeping the fellows out late at night. If they were, I certainly would have seen or heard some of them. After making this remark he slammed the door and walked out. The door had scarcely closed when the physical director opened it and voiced her opinion. nMr. Smith, I simply will not teach another gym class until something is done concerning those senior girls. I have refused to allow girls with rouge or other make up to take the work. Recently senior girls have come to class with faces so made up that it has taken them all period to remove it. Jane Price who never used cosmetics before had an entire theatrical make up on today. The telephone buzzed as the physical director left the office. This is high school, Superintendent Smith speaking. Well, Mr. Smith, the teachers must find other time besides evening for pupils to make up their work. J ohnny hasnlt been home one night for a month. I will not let him go so much again because he needs his sleep. Pm uvuty-ju The receiver went down with a bang leaving Mr. Smith in still greater perplexity. For two days all was quiet. The faculty hoped that the seniors would settle down to work. Just as they were beginning to breathe freely, rouge, powder, tardiness and sleeping boys in senior classes reappeared. This continued for nearly two weeks longer. Then, just as the school board was about to start action, it ended as suddenly as it had begun. The seniors renewed their efforts at study and marks, consequently, went up. . No one had been able to find out the mystery, and, had it not been re? Kenneth Placer's weekly visits to Milwaukee and Chicago, all might have been forgotten. It was the last week of school. On Monday evening the seniors invit- ed their under classmates and teachers to meet with them in the gymna- sium for a farewell banquet. Kenneth Placer was toast master. His grey eyes twinkled and a smile lighted his face as he said: Fellow students and classmates, in the name of the senior class I wish to present the following gifts to you: one complete locker set and gymnasium equip- ment, for the gym, a vail of radium for the chemistry department, a grand concert piano; and, last but not least, Superintendent Smith will find out side a Stutz racing car. Everyone roared with laughter thinking it was only a joke. When the noise had abated Kenneth continued. ttReally, I am not joking. You all remember that period of time in which the seniors were the most unruly class in school. It was then that we were making the money for these remembrances. This is how we did it. I have always veen inter- ested in dramatic work and conceived the idea of making a movie. Every- one in the class has had some part in it. The work was carried on Satur- days, evenings, and early mornings. We were successful in filming one of the greatest pictures of the age. You have seen advertised in the city papers the picture of Lives of Folly? This, friends, is the picture we have derived the huge profit of $500,000 from. Now if some one will turn off the lights we will show for the first time in a city of this size tLives of Follyf Page senenty-six The Pleasures of Hunting Is there anything that can compare with the pleasure of hunting? No matter which phase of the sport you especially love each has that in- deiinable and irresistible lure that leads men out of their cozy homes. It calls them either to the great duck marshes, when the huge rafts of ducks are trading from point to point in the teeth of a north-wester, to the open fields on a hazy October day with gun and dog, or to the forest with its many colored leaves of the hardwoods or its somber aisles of ever-greens. If it is the duck marshes to which the lure is especially strong, it will be during that dense darkness which comes just before the dawn that you will crawl from between your warm blankets into a room crackling with frost. By the time you have cut more wood for the fire, your partner will have a steaming breakfast of bacon, eggs, bread, and hot coffee pre- pared. This being quickly disposed of you don warm sweaters, hip boots, and heavy, waterproof canvas coats. When the capacious pockets are fill- ed with shells of various loads, you pass out into the blustery night. The bottom of the hunting skiff is covered with wooden decoys, leaving just enough room for yourself and your partner. After half an hours hard rowing you skid under the lee of a marshy point. When the wooden de- coys have anchored out, the mallards in one group, the canvas backs, bluebills, and redheads in another, you pull your boat into the rushes and camouflage it to harmonize with its surroundings. The sky is mottled with dark clouds skidding before the wind against the swiftly brightening horizon. The ducks are already trading, for you are startled by the sudden whirr of wings as ten teal, tiny cannon balls, pass over your head iiying with the wind. It is too late to shoot now, so you settle down again, and keep a sharp lookout. Your partner soon whispers tensely, ttLook! to the right. You see a flock of canvas-backs quartering against the wind, their wings and breasts flashing silver in the early morning light. A moment more and you both spring to your feet, the reports of the guns sounding simultaneously. Three lifeless bodies fall like plummets and float abreast up upon the heaving water. They, the vanguard of the southward liight, will lie there until there is a pause in the chain of birds. Then they will be gathered up as quickly as possible. In front another flock is seen approach- Page savenIy-seveu ing. Again the guns roar and two more have joined those which lie upon the water. The flight goes on for several hours and at the close, ten birds complete your total. You gather up the dead ducks and decoys, and then push the skiff out from its screen of rushes. You pick up the oars and have soon reach- ed the cottage. After you have indulged in another hearty meal, stored the duffle, and locked the cottage, you start for the railroad. You will soon partake of another joy of hunting, for When you board the train and walk down the isle looking for a seat, you know that you are followed by many pairs of eyes green with envy. You seem to have grown an inch taller, and your chest swells so that it threatens .to burst your vest. Welcome Come swiftly Spring, And with you bring Your joy and many flowers, I need you and your joyous ways To whileaway the hours.

Though four ties were counted in their schedule, the team can be complimented and credited for out-playing and out-fighting their op- ponents in each case. The following is a summary of nine schedule games: SYNOPSIS OF SCHEDULE GAMES The initial game of the 1923 season was played at Columbus, Sep- tember 28 and resulted in a 6 to 6 tie. The game being the first for the Beavers was featured by many fumbles, one on which Columbus scored. The locals recorded their touchdown in the first quarter by a hard and fast attack, but though out-playing their opponents were unable to reg- ister a Victory. October 6 found the fast Mayville aggregation at the Weyenberg field highly expectant of an easy victory. The much talked of Mayville Offense proved nought against the great defensive playing by our line. The Green and Gold backfield completely out-classed that of our oppon- ents, and by consistant gains crossed the goal in the early part ofsthe game. Mayville tied the game through a ttfluke play in which they re- covered a blocked pass. The score, 6 and 6 does not justify the hard fought battle put up by the Beavers. The third game of the season was played October 13th at Ripon' where the locals were received with iine school spirit and a square deal. - Ripon's team was a light hard-fighting eleven but was downed by a score of 8 to 6. The Oconomowoc gridders managed to hold our eleven to a 7 to 7 tie on October 20th. The game was loose throughut due to a muddy field. Cooneyii resorted solely to an aerial attack with which they scored their Page cighty-Iwo touchdown. The Beavers in this game were unsuccessful with their pass- es and kept a crushing line attack. Fond du Lac was the next team to meet the Beavers, a game being staged at Beaver Dam, October 27. Both elevens were very evenly match- ed but Fondy forfeited the game by leaving the field before a decision could be brought about. No good compliments as yet have been heard on Fondyis sportsmanship. History repeated itself at the Weyenberg field November 3, when the Green and Gold scored an overwhelming victory against Horicon. Horicon was hopeIeSSIy out-classed and smothered by line smashes and end runs. The Beavers were compelled to punt and all the ttsubst were used. The Beaver gridders were greatly 20ft colorti when they met the Fort Atkinson team at that city November 17. Though the locals scored the first touchdown, the game after that time was solely with the ttForts. The final count was 21 and 6 with our opponents on the long end of the score. At Waupun November 10, the Beavers were tied for the fourth time of the season, the score being 6 to 6. During the first and last periods, the locals put up a winning brand of team play but the remainder of the game was a deadiock, neither side accomplishing much. Waupun could not penetrate the Beaver Dam line and had to resort mainly to an end run formation, which scored them their tie. The Green and Gold eleven easily excelled except for that play. The fans of this city were given a fine exhibition of football when the Green and Gold warriors met Portage here November 24. The Canal City eleven had forty points set as a minimum score by whch they expect- ed to down the iocals, but found in the very forepart of the game that a hard job lay ahead. There was no vast difference in the respective teams and played but Portage managed to score a lone but winning touchdown in the final period. The game ended with the count 7 t0 0 for Portage, and our neighbors holding a much better conception of our Plucky Team . Pun eighty-thru Swan, Capt. Sakellaris Sterr Starkweather Peters MacMurray ' n Page eighty-four Alvin Swan tCaptainl Left Half Back B. D. H. S. loses one of its pluckiest fighters and pilots when iiAl graduates this year. With one year at quarter and two at half-back position he proved himself a ttterror in bucking the line, picking the holes, and open field running. Swan showed an uncanny ability in gaining ground and making first downs. He is very fit material for college foot ball. It will be especially hard to fill his half-back position with a man of his calibre next year. Michael Sakellaris Quarter-Back. Mike,l completed a fine record of four years of foot ball this year. He kept up the spirits of the team all season and proved to be a snappy and ehicient quarter. Although handicapped because of injuries, he managed to lead the team every game. He will be a hard man to replace next year. Carl Sterr Right End The right wing of the team was held down by a very good man in Sterr. He was a fast and sure tackler and was constantly blocking attempted plays. HCootie showed remarkable ability in snaring passes and was a consistant ground gainer. His end was exceptionally strong and frequently he threw his opponents for a loss. ttGibbie the second has another year to fight for his school. Courtney Starkweather Right Half-Back This was tiStarkielsll initial year on the team and his playing ability was easily equal to the position he had to fill. He was able to stand hard knocks and give them, as his hard and consistant playing proved. An injury caused his retiring from the regular line-up for a time, but the latter part of the season found him hitting on uall four. The Green and Gold can itbank on ttStarkie for two years more. Robert Peters Center itTubby was one of the coolest and steadiest players on the team this year. He stopped all attacks on his position and served as a bulwark to the line. This year was the fourth in which he played center. Petersis position will be hard to fill next season. Frederick MacMurray Full Back Although the youngest player on the team and playing his first year, ttBud, se- cured a regular position at full back and showed his football worth. Budis punting and line plunging ability, coupled with his smashing defense, furnished a strong in- centive toward victory. The hopes of a winning team next year can reasonably be cen- tered about him. Two more downs BudlL-hit lem hard. Page eighty-jive Butler Sheskey Kummer Mirlach A. Grace E. Grace Belling Pug: aigth-sl'x Albert Butler Right Tackle tiAl at tackle position played hard and earnestly. He also is of the graduating class. Henry Sheskey Right Guard uHank was right there when it came to delivering the goods. He played very earnestly and was a plucky and eHicient tackler. He proved to be a man never ready to give up. Sheskey also graduates this year and his absence from the team will be greatly noticed. Louis Kummer Left End ttLouiels playing this year greatly overshadowed that of last season. He fin- ished the season very strong and showed that he had the foot ball stuff in him. He is another that will not return next year. Andrew Mirlach Left Tackle The left tackle position was defended by a sturdy hitting fighter in Mirlach. ttAndy had the knack of breaking through and smothering plays before they were developed. On the offensive it may be said that the back field found a ready hole when ti15n was called. tiAndy,y will be a great help on next year's team. Albert Grace ' Full-Back uAlf played very earnestly when in the game and was a good man for bucking the line. He will graduate in June. Earl Grace Right EndeRight HalfuBack Though his first year in uniform ttMutt showed up well at right end and half. His speed and ability to keep his feet enabled him to serve as utility man in both po- sitions. He had the desired pep and snap in his play and the 24h team will miss a good man. Merrill Belling 'Left Guard Another bulwark of the line was found in Belling. His defensive work was ex- cellent and his endurance miabled him to stand hard knocks and open holes. He is another who graduates and whose playing will be missed. Stanley Ganske Right Tackle ttStan concluded his foot-ball career, of four years on the team with the same smashing attack which he had exhibited for three successive years. Ganske was an exceptionally good player and was responsible for many large gains. He took part in every play and was the hardest tackler 0n the squad. Next year the uStan-ima will have to be supplied by some other itBear-Cat as this was his last year. Page eighty-sevm Iqila-aqiya dud THE BASKET BALL TEAM Basket Ball A. H.

About seventy- iive men reported for practice including four letter men. After a few weeks training this number was cut down to ten men. Coach Luedke gave these men intensive training and had a wonderful combination. J ust as the season was about to start two letter men were declared ineligi- ble and new men had to take their places. Because of consistent playing and winning of nine of thirteen games, the team was invited to play in the district tournament at Milwaukee held under the auspices of Mar- quette University. Here they received fourth place in the tournament. Synopsis of Scheduled Games The first game of the season was played with the heavy Endeavor Academy team. The game was played as a preliminary for the seasonis schedule. Playing a clean, hard fought game, the Beavers were defeat- ed 16-15. The game showed the Weak points of the team which had to be remedied. Playing their first game under the W. I. A. A. rules, the Beavers met the Horicon five in the home gym. The first half ended 8-5 in favor of the home team. Horicon was unable to get a basket in the second half. The score at the end of the game was 30-18 in favor of Beaver Dam. The first out of town game was played at Waupun. The gym being small and low handicapped our team. Waupun was on the short end of the first half. The second half was a rough and slam bang affair, the final score being a tie, 13-13 This tie was to be played off at B. D. Juneau came over here with a strong team and was confident of a victory. The game was fast and interesting and the outcome was in doubt until the final quarter. Juneau went home with a 20-24 defeat. Columbus met Beaver Dam in the home gym. The Beavers were defeated by a score of 17-7. Due to weakness in Beaver Damis playing, Columbus was able to run up the large score and at the same time hold down the score of the Beavers. Traveling to Randolph with a reorganized team, the Beavers met the highly praised five of that city in one of the most interesting games seen in that gym for years. The first half ended 8-1 in favor of Ran- Ron ninety dolph. The second half was hard fought. The Beavers had the edge on team work and scored at every chance. Randolph was defeated 11-9. Beaver Dam traveled to Horicon for a return game. The first half was fast and interesting, the score being 17-20, the Green 8; Gold leading. The second half was slow and one sided. Beaver Dam went home with a 39-19 victory. Portage our old rival came here to meet the Green and Gold five. They were bound to stop at nothing. Displaying a dash of speed and good team work the Beavers outplayed their heavier opponents in every quar- ter of the game. Portage went home with a decisive defeat 30-13. The Green and Gold went to J uneau to play a return game. The J u- neau five were after revenge but were disappointed. They were again defeated by a score of 17-24. The Green and Gold went to Portage for a return game. The Bea- vers had an off night and could not connect with the basket. Portage had a recruit in their lineup who defeated the Beavers single handed. The game ended 26-12 in favor of Portage. Beaver Dam met the Columbus five for a game and was out for re- venge. The game was a hard fought contest. Columbus was in the lead at the end of the first half. The second half the Beavers came back strong and overcome this lead and kept running up the score. The crowd went wild and the referee started to give the Beavers a raw deal. The coach wihdrew the team and gave Columbus the game 13-14. Randolph came to Beaver Dam for a return game and was decisively defeated by the Green and Gold five 21-10. Both teams were cautidus at the first half, Randolph having the advantage of a 3-2 score. In the second half the Beavers started with a spurt and were never in danger after the first few minutes of play. Our last game of the season was with Waupun at the home gym. Beavers showed the Prison City lads that a game could be won by clean playing. Waupun was outplayed in every part of the game. This game made up for the tie early in the season. Waupun went home with a 23-15 defeat. Pu: m'mty-ane Kummer, Capt. Swan. Bonner. Starkweather. Voreck. Page ninaty-two LOUIS KUMMER, Captain. Guard Kummer piloted the team through a difiicult season in great form. He had a good eye for the basket andi ,lots 'otf speed, cornered his man close on defense, and played all over the floor on otfense. He had a marked ability to aid in team work. Kummer possesses a great amount of stamina and endurance and played consistently throughout the long season without letting down. NELSON BONNER. Center Nellie was a light and fast man. Opposing guards found him a slippery man to guard. He was very accurate on close shots and seldom failed to score when close to the basket. He like Kummer and Swan was a consistent player and high point of the team. The B. D. H. S. may mourn the loss of three such excellent players who will be hard to replace. GERALD VORECK. Forward Jerry played for the first time on the squad this year. Being a tall, lanky man he was able to get the ball on the jump from center and pass it to a man going for the basket. He was a fast and clever man to pivot. This helped him to get around the guards. Jerry will be back next year and will be a valuable man to the team. ALVIN SWAN. Forward Al was a veteran at the game and surely showed that he could play the game. Besides being an accurate shot he had a trick of dribbling around the guards for short shots, which resulted in many victories for Beaver Dam. Al was a consistent player and played hard through the long season. COURTNEY STA RKWEATHER. Guard ttStarky always dependable was a type 037 guard needed on the team. He was a new man in this season but improved rapidly and played a great game. Because of his consistent guarding he was unable to secure many points. Suarky will be back for three more years and surely ought to do great things in B. D. fage uinety-Ihre; Freeman. Yagodinski. MacMurray. E. Grace. Mirlach. Page nimty-four HARVEY FREEMAN. Forward ilHarve like Mirlach and' MacMurray was not called upon often but in the games he played he did well. Harve can play forward and center on equal basis and will be a valuable man to the team next year. FREDERICK MAC MURRAY. Center Budl' was not called upon often but when he did play, he showed that he could make a good player in the future. He will be back next year and ought to be good ma- terial for the team. ANDREW MIRLACH. Guard Andy, a big football man, tried his skill at basket ball and proved that he could play both games. ttAndyll played a steady game this year and ought to be good ma- terial for next year,s team. JULIUS YAGODINSKI Forward Yago is a fast and tricky floor man. This year was his first on the squad and his playing was very good. Yago has a few more years to play for H. S. and he ought to be the main performer at forward position next year. EARL GRACE. Guard liMuttll played for the first and last time on the team this year. He was a steady player and did well in the games he played.
