if THE BEAVER LOG. fc Through four years of schooling, we, the graduating class of 1935, have tried to live up to our reputation of being Bea- vers. The Beaver is, undoubtedly, one of the hardest working of all animals, and as high school students of Beaver Dam are called Beavers, we have tried to live up to the animal's repu- tation. During our first year, we husied ourselves with the build- ing of a substantial UBeaver housen. This imaginary structure was to be the scene of our work and play through our four years of schooling. It was under the direction of our advisers, Mr. Simpson, Mr. Goodrich, and Miss Gibbs, that this work got under way. The second dayfat school we elected our officers. William Gessner was made class presidentg Harriet Herr, vice-presidentg and Rea Bower, secretary-treasurer. Our social debut was the party we gave for the eighth gra- ders. To sponsor this party, money was derived from class dues and numerous sales which were held throughout the year. For en. tertainment, an orchestra furnished music for dancing. Games were also played. Following this highlight we held our class picnic at Spell- man's Spring. This ended the activities of the year. As a sophomore class, we gave our HBeaver Houseu a thorough cleaning, and then began to enlarge upon it. Mr. McDaniels, Miss Gardner, Miss Williams, and Miss Schlottman were our class ad- visers for the year. ' Harriet Herr showed her popularity with her class mates by again being elected to a class office, vice-president. Howard Bohoenwetter was made president, and Doris Adams, secretary- treasurer. h During this year,many of our class mates were active in the school clubs and organizations. Sports such as football,basket- ball and track claimed our more athletic-minded members. In the all-school play under the direction of Miss Jax, Loraineolman, Alfred Mayr, and Gordon Thomas, three of our class members, par- ticipated. ' An informal dance was held for our parents,faculty,and our- selves in order that better acquaintances might be formed. A class picnic at Columbus Park ended the festivities of the year. Ls juniors with many important duties ahead of us, we el- ected Gordon Storck,president3 Gordon Thomas,vice-president, and William Gessner, secretary-treasurer. One of our first duties was to order class ri s that would be distinctive. The crest has since been made stagiard for the school. E On April work was begun upon the Promenade which was to be held on April 7. The motive for the prom was cleverly worked out by Regina Janczak. srsronv, cuss or 1.935 PAGE 28

if THE BEAVER Loo g get At this time our HBeaver Housen was thoroughly cleaned and then remodeled into a beautiful summer garden in which the prom was to be held. Under the direction of Miss Davis, the walls were covered to resemble flower gardens. White wooden garden trellises covered with handmade roses formed unique background. The setting for Tom Temp1e's Orchestra was an enlarged rose bed enclosed by a white picket fence. An old fashioned covered well which held the punch bowl,and a rock garden were the centers of beauty. Lighting effects were directed by John Green. Gordon Storck and Loraine Olman,prom king and queen,1ed the grand march. Many of the students were again active in school organiza- tions and clubs. Two of our members,Alfred Verriden, and Jerome Daniels, won recognition on the all-conference fofmball teams. The class aided the seniors in commencement exercises and then closed the year's activities with a picnic at McCarthyfs beach at Fox Lake. Upon entering our senior year, we determined to make our class one of the best graduating from Beaver Dam High School. As an aid to this purpose,Henry Gergen, one of the most inil telligent and best-liked members of the class, was chosen presi- dent.Howard Sohoenwetter was elected vice-president, and William Gessner secretary-treasurer. Qur advisers were Miss Lampert, Miss Barkhausen and Mr. Goodrich. nThe Swann, senior class play, was presented November 24 at the Davison Theater to a capacity crowd. Miss Jax's-efforts were well rewarded by the splendid acting of the cast. Marjorie Vet- ter and Jerome Daniels headed the cast with Phy11iB Trione, Lor- aine Olman, Roy Walcott and Henry Gergen playing strong support- ing roles. g A benefit show was sponsored at the Odeon Theatre in order to raise money to help finance WThe Beaver Logn. Tickets were sold by the students and prizes were awarded to those who sold the'greitest number. Fred Huebner-won first prize with a total sale of 60 tickets. In place of the usual picnic,this year an informal dance is to be held towards the close of the school year, and this will end the school activities of the class of 1935. On Sunday, June 2, baccalaureate services will be held. Reverend Dwight Moody Bahr will be the speaker. The following Friday, June 7, Dr. Silas Evans, president of Ripon College and professor of the Bible, will deliver the commencement address at which time 112 seniors will close their high school careers. Again our graduating class is confronted with the same pro- blems other classes before us have had to face and overcome. We must traverse the unknown pathways of life. Our high school ed- ucation has equipped us to meet hese unknown problems that will confront us. Many of our members will continue on with their education in order to better their advantage. The world is issuing a challenge to come and meet it in the battle of life, and we must accept. PAGE 29 HISTORY, CLASS OF 1935 ix it C hi-9 5 'Sq EL.. E f fi- 42:9 1? 'ii he C ix N.
