ARE concerned in making our community year by year a better place in which to live. The foundation of a community is the education of its youth. An education, to be of real value, must teach us to apply the knowledge we have acquired. School is a part of life, and the thoughts and habits of today will furnish the foundation of the future. 4To those who have loyally supported our ac- tivities, M-To those who have made our education possible. -To the people of Brillion we gratefully dedicate this annual.

This business was established in IS93, and was incorporated in l902. During the years of its existence it has grown from a mere shop to a large sized foundry and iron works. The annual business of this industry amounts to over one-fourth of a million dollars. The main feature of the Iron Works is the manufacturing of Brillion Soil Pulverizers and Packers, and Brillion Hot Air Furnaces. The Soil Pulverizers and Packers are products used to increase yield of soil, and the interesting part of it is, is that this firm is the original manu- factures and patentees. The furnaces are known throughout the world and have a reputation among the best. In order that we may present a proper conception of this industry we wish to say that shipments are made to various places throughout the world, but principally in the United States. The foreign shipments are mainly to South Africa, Argentine, South America, India and Australia. The Export Branch for this industry is located at New York. Factory branches are spread throughout the United States being located at Milwaukee, Wisg Chicago, Illg Minneapolis, Minn: Seattle, Washg Portland, Oregon, Moline, Ill, Harrisburg, Pa: and one in the Dominion of Canada at Vancouver, B.

Page :lx sal The owl. of 1928 1 Nh l L1 .L U Calumet County Packing Company This Industrial Activity is another uplifting enterprise for the city of Brillion and the territory about this community. It is a firm which furnishes high school boys and girls employment during a part of the summer, thus enabling them to improve their Hnancial standing. During a season when there is a good crop a tremendous business is done in this locality. For instance: During the season of I925, five carloads of peas were sent out daily, and this lasted for 23 days. The plant at Brillion employs more than two hundred men during the canning season thus benefiting this community to a large extent. This concern expends during a year about 535,000 for local labor. About 350,000 is paid for land, labor, green peas, and tin cans. The work at the cannery not only extends through the summer months, but also throughout the year. ln the summer the peas are merely preserved, but in the other seasons of the year they are sold and exported as orders are received. A great part of the business of growing the peas is done by the company. It follows this plan almost exclusively: Rents the ground, furnishes the seed, and hires men to take care of the crop, thus making it a private affair, and at the same time aiding the unemployed in finding employment. The officials of this firm are: Con De Master, Presidentg John De Master, Secretary and Treasurer, Louis Huibregste, Employment Boss.

It involves first the study of man and his social background and secondly the framework of our government. The ideals of good citizenship are developed through the understanding and appreciation of these two primary objectives. FAITH RICHARDS SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS To offer a glimpse at the secrets underlying living and mechanical things for the purpose of stimulating the pupil into thinking about the hows and whys of the everyday phenomena about him is the aim of the high school Science Courses. Mathematics requires an exact and ideal type of reasoning: it is the foundation upon which science is based. I C. H. WILEMAN ENGLISH English is a living, growing language, the mastery of which is required in every field of endeavor. A comprehension of the complexities of life in a ficti- tious world prepares the student for an interpretation of real life. LITHA GREGOR MANUAL ART The aim of the Manual Arts Course is threefold: to develop ideals: to make the individual socially efficientg to promote industrial or vocational efficiency. Thus it serves as a bridge across the gap between the purely cultural courses and the vocational courses. E. H. GROSSKOPF HISTORY No subject in school curriculumftouches deeper-rooted or stronger inter- ests than History-as much of that which lies about us, our religion, our laws, and institutions. In as much as it may sharpen our senses of duty as a citizen it has a moral value. Furthermore, if we fully comprehend what our country has stood for in the development of civilization we cannot suppress the feeling of love, devotion and faithfulness to the nations best traditions. EMMA KLEINHAMMER COMMERCIAL The fact that 6912, of the graduates of the Commercial Courses the first year after graduation are employed in specific business occupations is sufficient justification for a Commercial Course in the High School with the sole objective of business. ETHEL M. SUTOR HOME ECONOMICS This course is offered as an elective for the girls in the first and second year of high school and given as part of the regular work in the four upper grades. The chief aim of this course is to train the girls so that they are able to deal intelligently with all the problems of a home. H. M. BRANDEMUEHL Page twelve :gf The owt of 1928 jg? Principafs Statement ln a truly democratic country like ours, which gives the power to govern and control to its people, the principles of duty, courage, faith, hope, love of country, and reverence for God must be firmly instilled into the minds of its youth. We are today a nation of over a hundred million, intent on keeping for ourselves those cherished blessings of liberty and self-government. Lawlessness and ignorance have no place in a democratic nation like our own. That the nation might protect itself against both of these evils, and thereby insure future well-being, a vast public school system has been built up which offers opportuni- ties for education free to all. Education is today not only the right, but the duty of every growing citizen. To satisfy present needs it must be broad and general. It is no longer chiefly the acquiring of facts and information, but its primary purpose is the forming of right habits, attitudes, and character. The pupils attending the Brillion High School this year are only a very small portion of the vast army of over two million boys and girls in the high schools of this nation. After graduating from this school some of you will go to higher institutions of learning but for others your high school training will conclude your class room education. ln the school, education has been set up as a definite purpose or habit. lt should continue throughout life though the process may change as your age and place in life are changed. As your high school principal, l have found a great deal of real pleasure in the enjoyable daily contacts with you as students. You were so brimful of life, energy, pep , and prejudices. I hope that I have been big enough in my conduct and character to stimulate you in desirable directions, that my influence has been for your best interests, and that the door to a wonderful enlightenment of the purpose of your existence has been left ajar. It is up to you to open wide this door and enter boldly into your own world of possibilities. l trust that your high school training will greatly increase your happiness by enabling you to make a better living, give you the desire to make the best use of your leisure hours, and make of you a more effective citizen.

Page Twenty- one ssl The OWL of 1928 133 Class History Four years ago the doors of B. H. S. opened to admit thirty-nine timid, blushing: yet wide awake, keen, observing Freshmen. We were given the customary welcome by the Sophs rin, the form of a party, on September IZ. At this jolly affair the majority of us dropped our garb of bashfulness and began taking part in, and cooperating with, the upper classmen. We found among dur midst two very talented athletes namely Gordon Schuler and Frances Ariens who became valuable assets in bringing home the victories for Old B. H. S. September, one year later found the bulk of the old class back in the ranks, although several familar faces were gone. Those not returning were Frieda Schwantz, Earl Werner, and Alice Wall. After things had become somewhat more or less settled into an ordinary routine we took our turn at welcoming the incoming Freshmen with a thrilling, blood-curdling initiation and l-lallowe'en party. We hope you will not hold it against us if we admit that we did upset the calm tranquillity that had prevailed heretofore. But it was in our Junior year that we became famous. With Mr. Napiecinski as our advisor we accomplished things which drew awe and admiration from our fellow classmen. Anyone witnessing our prom will justify that statement. We undertook all things whole-heartedly and that perhaps is the underlying reason for our success. We won the 555.00 for the best stunt at the Carnival. We purchased class rings. We produced debatersfTheodore Jordon and Lillian Becker. Gordon Schuler and Allan Barnard were basket ball stars again. The Pep Staff needed our talent as most of the members were drawn from our class. Of course, after our reputation as Juniors, the school knew what to expect from the 1928 seniors. We were respected, loved and honored by the lower classmen for whom we had a mutual feeling. The first few weeks of that year, in which every day brought us closer to our goal, were spent in becoming acquainted with the many new teachers. Two of our members, Helen Krueger and Evelyn Boettcher, had not returned. We worked hard, and ere many weeks of the school year had elapsed we gave the public an enjoyable and amusing entertainment in the play The Arrival of Kitty . With ambition and a determination to win we pressed desperately onward. Then came our class play, given under the direction of Miss Gregor, in which we displayed unusual talent and ability as actors. At last our hopes were realized-Graduation day dawned clear and bright. We had run the race and won.

Four classmates left us at the foot of the hill, Fifty-two minus four, forty-eight still, Throughout our Freshman year we worked, Though we still admit at times we shirked. Now we're all juniors, quite a relief, Though as Sophs and Freshies we had a grief, Our aim is upward, we strive to win, We'll prove that we can wipe off that grin.

Those happy-go-luckies were we, and we aren't denying it either. Frederick Bloedorn, one of us, was elected cheer leader. Three others were substitutes on the basket-ball squad. Due to some miracle or other we got a fairly good start up the ladder of fame. Although the ladder was top-heavy, because of the Juniors and Seniors above us, we managed to reach a higher point. Our number was diminished to forty-six. This year we have among our ranks two cheer leaders, Frederick Bloedorn and Viola Fox: a debater and basket-ball star, Arnold Christel. Our class is nearing the top of the ladder. There are only thirty-eight left, but we have quality rather than quantity. Frank Bender, Arnold Christel, and Frederick Bloedorn are basket-ball stars. Frederick Bloedorn is again cheer leader. We are also represented on the Annual Staff, in the Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs, the Orchestra and the G. A. A. The junior Promenade, the best and largest that ever took place in the history of the school was held at the Auditorium on Friday, May IB. lts success was due chiefly to the ability of the Prom Chairman, Arnold Christel, and the assisting committees. IRENE MUMM '29 Edilofs Note Do you wish for a course that is easy For subjects whose lightness soothg You'll never gain skill with the plow. my friend If you keep to the land that is smooth. It is a law of our moral make-up that we increase our own joy if we help in the joy of others. Happiness lies in always doing your part and doing it well. You juniors are entering the most important year of your school life. That year can only be of lasting value to you if you have met up with opposition and have shown courage to struggle on. Living is to make play of play and work of work, but at the same time keeping the two pretty we apart.

At present, however. there are thirty-three. The class is repre- sented in basketball by the able athletes, Richard Tikalsky and Clarence Kleiber. An unusual amount of pep and wit has been displayed by the class of '30 during its comparatively short stay here. During the freshman year the class was given a rousing welcome by the sophomore class. They were set back continually, on account of taking ex- amples from the illustrious Seniors. In the early part of the sophomore year we gave the Freshmen a wild chase through the woods and in the open. The Freshmen succeeded in being clever enough to discover our place of concealment, their spies making ample noise to make the discovery an easy one. Both classes enjoyed roasting the hot dogs. Pickles, catsup, and candy bars made up the rest of the bill of fare. Songs were sung, yells given, and at last all trooped homeward, some weary and tired from the hike but all supremely happy. The sophomores hope to attain the dignity of the present Seniors and are striving to do their best both in achieving honorable scholarship and good sportsmanship. DONALD KUNDIGER Editor's Note School spirit is a thing of splendor, A thing of joy and awe, But there's more to being a booster, Than making a loud hurrah. Over at the school house they're having a pep meeting to celebrate the latest basket ball victory. Speeches, songs and yells can be heard through the open windows. All of which is well and good. But somehow, watching the student body, one wonders whether real loyalty lies underneath it all. Real loyalty which would cause you to stick up for your school through thick and thin . The school bell will soon be ringing again, calling to you as juniors. Make a resolution before you enter the Junior year to be loyal to old B. H. S.

That first day was a trying one but soon we learned what must be done to live through a perfect day in high school. Our class numbers among its members several noted personages as the class officers: Karl Kleiber, Mildred Lopas, Harriet Filyes, and Thelma Richter. ln the Pep Club we are represented by Celia Wolf, Harriet Filyes, Harvey Zutz, and William Drumm. Karl Kleiber and Ewald Pritzl have shown promising ability as basket ball players. Do we Freshmen neglect athletics, forensics, and other organizations? Oh! no. We join in with the notable seniors and display real ambition. The entire school is with us in expressing the hope that the Freshman Class will return en masse next September, and as Sophomores add still more to the glory of the school. Ed i tofs N ole Patience Freshies, for the journey ahead, Though the wind is somewhat cold and snappy, At the end you will Find your due reward, For sailing into port is always happy. Freshies all remind us of the trials that we have passed. We are standing on the threshold of life through which they too must wander. Many, as they observe the happy Freshmen, wish the years would lapse back and set them again in the boat of life as Freshies. This class has shown an ambitious spirit and we sincerely hope that this spirit will keep up during the rest of their high school career. Remember, Freshmen, the grandest results are not accomplished quickly. The flpper may think she knows her onions but l'm sure we'cl all agree that the old gardener has the advantage.

CAST if The OWL of 1928 12 The Arrival of Kitfy The first school entertainment of the year was a play entitled The Arrival of Kitty . The success of this play was due largely to the efforts of Miss Gregor, the coach. The scene is laid in a hotel. William Winkler sends to the matrimonial agency for a man for Aunt Jane. Arrangements had been made for Jane to marry Benjamin More, but she loves Bobbie Baxter. When More arrives he is mistaken for the man from the agency. Bobbie Baxter and Ting, the bell boy, plan a scheme on Benjamin More. Mr. Winkler is in love with Kitty, an actress, but she has not Aunt ,Iane's approval. While Bobbie impersonates this Kitty, the real one arrives and a complex situation results. THE CAST William Winkler . . . . WILMER STRUEBING Bobbie Baxter . LAWRENCE LEWIS Benjamin More , .

The program was something extraordinary and proved very enjoyable, both to the spectators and performers. The program consisted of four main features, namely: Peggy's Predicamentn, under the supervision of Miss Brandemuehl. The Home Town Band , coached by Miss Richards. Do Men Gossipn? under the instruction of Miss Sutor, and last, but not least: School Days , presented by the Girls' Glee Club under the direction of Miss Gregor. There were three introductory numbers which were also very amusing. A dialogue of an entirely different character constituted the Hrst introductory. Next, the great fight sensation of the year, the Dempsey-Tunney Fight'f. The last introduction was a short one act play with scenic attractions, such as an old-fashioned organ, the family album, and an old-fashioned girl who was visited by two young, old-fashioned, thriving suitors. The cast for Owl Hoots was chosen from the entire school. Many of the pupils thus far have been unable to show their artistic inclination, but they succeeded in impressing the people that night. Although the weather was far from favorable, the auditorium was filled with on-lookers and thus far only the most favorable comments have been uttered on Owl Hoots . The funior Prom The big event of the Juniors' social year was the Junior Prom which was held on Friday, May IS, at the Auditorium. The Lyric Orchestra of Mani- towoc provided the program of dance music. It is a six piece orchestra and one of the best in the vicinity. The Auditorium was trimmed in gold and white with harmonizing roses. The hall was cool and breezy while the many colored lights twinkling in the ceiling gave one the impression of being under the open sky. At nine o'clock the grand march was led by Arnold Christel and Lillian lsack. A program of twenty dances followed. Daintily clad under-classmen served punch to quench the thirst of the guests.

Each contestant chose his own coach from among the members of the faculty. Theodore Jordan won first place with an original oration The Meaning of the Constitutionng while Arnold Christel placed second with The Scholar and the Socialist . First honors in declamatory were awarded to Helen Becker who gave the declamation entitled The Soul of the Violin . Loraine Herr took second place with a selection named The Piper . These four students represented Brillion at the league contest held at Wrightstown on April I7, where Theodore Jordan was awarded second place in oratory and Helen Becker third place in declamatory. Theodore Jordan journeyed to the district contest at Depere where he placed third. l-le also entered the Milwaukee Journal Contest and took first place in the school, county and district contests. He represented this district in the State Contest held at Milwaukee on Friday, April 27. This year debate work was limited to a series of inter-class debates. The student body responded very well and the teams were organized. Each class was permitted to have two teams. The question for debate was as follows: Resolved, that Wisconsin should enact a law requiring automobile owners to carry personal-liability insurance to the extent of 35,000 unless they establish and maintain evidence showing financial ability to respond in damages to the extent of 35,000 The Freshman teams won two victoriesg the Sophomore teams won one victoryg the Juniors won one victory, while the Seniors headed the list with five victories to their credit. Miss Gregor and Miss Richards coached the different teams.

No doubt the pep shown during the year was due to the constant effort of the Pep Club to promote a joyful atmosphere, and to add more satisfaction to the student body by furnishing some very uplifting recreation. Not only did the Pep Club furnish a means of pep, but also helped to keep in contact with the report cards of the students, thus taking some of the responsibility from Mr. Kluth's shoulders, and at the same time furnishing finances for the Club. A fine was imposed upon every late report card. The students found that escape from the fine was impossibleg therefore, late report cards have been getting fewer and fewer. On with the Pep Club was our one cry.

The purpose of the organization is to foster a keen interest in girls' ath- letics and this it has accomplished. The outstanding accomplishment of the association was to organize a girls' Basket Ball team from its' membership. Tryouts were held and I6 of the most alert and quick girls were chosen. Very soon the public was allowed to witness a rousing good preliminary to decide which of the teams was the best. Meetings of the society are held monthly. Sometimes these meetings take the form of social gatherings and the interest is shown by the large attendance. Page forly-four 23 Baskeiball The l927-l928 Basket Ball team has marked very high attainment in sports- manship, physical development and co- operation. The team was piloted by the very capable captain, Gordon Schuler. The team's splendid co-operation could be seen in every practice and game of the season. Games were won modestly and defeat was accepted stoically. To coach this l927-l928 team was a pleasure be- cause of the fine spirit of co-operation a- mong the team mates, high school and public. COACH GRossKoPF The OWL of 1928 f The Basket Ball season of l927-l928 proved to be a very successful year. The first thing to express is the sports- manship of the team. Our High School has always been a strong advocate of clean sportsmanship, and played the game for the joy of it. Coach Grosskopf conducted the team into eight victories out of thirteen. The Coach should be given a great deal of cred- it for the successful season. The members of the team co-operated well among themselves, and with the coach. The team always went on the floor with and honest determination to win. As captain of the team, l wish to thank the members of the team and the coach for their co-operation throughout the season.

THE MEN CAPTAIN SCHULER-His aggressiveness made him the natural leader and he bore the brunt of the offense in every game of the season. His graduation leaves a large hole to fill on next year's team. BARNARD-His height made him an ideal center both at the tip-off and under the basket. An injury in mid-season interrupted his stardom. ULRICI-ifA star his first and last year on the squad as guard was his claim to basketball fame. His ability in handling the ball often thrilled Brillion fans and his eye for the basket was a constant menace to the opposition. TIKALSKY'A hard-fighting, consistent player describes this young player's actions on the basketball court. Butch should do much for Brillion in the next two years. BENDER-A stalwart backguard who played a conscientious and heady game his first year at guard is the best way to speak of Frank's playing. His basket brought the Valders game to a tie. KLEIBER-When Barnard was forced from the line-up by an injury, Kewpie stepped into the breach and led the scoring in the first game. C1-IRISTEL-A substitute who handled the ball cleverly and who will be noticed in next year's line-ups.

I 928 Season BRILLION AT DENMARK The first game of the season played on November ll, was against the Denmark High School team. Brillion won I9-I2 after piling up a lead in the first half. Captain Schuler lead a team to victory composed of two veterans and three new men who had just received their promotion from the training camp. The rookies, Ullrich, Bender and Tikalsky showed up well under fire and along with the other veteran, Barnard, gave promise of a successful season for the Brillion quintet. A peppy crowd of B. H. S. rooters were on hand to aid in the victory. VALDERS AT BRILLION The next game of the season marked the appearance of the Valders High cage-team on the local floor. Whenever these two schools get together in a basketball game many things are apt to happen. There was no dearth of happenings in this game though the manner of deciding the contest in favor Page forly-seven if The OWL of 1928 liz of the visitors by a I7-I6 score was down-right unpleasant to the Brillion fans. With brilliant floor-work and accurate shooting the invaders swung into the lead at the start of the fray. Captain Schuler found the basket often enough to keep the margin from becoming very wide during the first half. However, the Brillion five was trailing as the game was resumed at the opening of the third quarter-And then-Coach Grosskopf's charges started hacking away at that leadg by one and two points at a time it was lessened until the score stood at I6-I4. With less than two minutes to go, Bender looped a basket of medium length much to the delight of the local fans. A three minute extra period was played but the light guarding of both teams prevented any scoring. Then to keep the contest from being continued far into the night, free-throws were granted to the members of each team to decide the issue. The Valders' players proved themselves adept at this more docile pastime and and were awarded the game. SEYMOUR AT BRILLION The next game in the local auditorium brought the Seymour team into action against the locals the latter winning by a good score 22-8. Schuler's shots connected with the basket enough times during this game to contribute fifteen points towards Brillion's score. BRILLION AT CHILTON The next thing of any interest in regard to the activity of Brillion's basketeers was their invasion of Chilton. They withdrew willfully after giving the county seat boys a lesson in basket shooting which cost them a 27-7 score. Two RIVERS AT BRILLION The classy Two Rivers quintet which already had a number of victories to its credit, including the one over Manitowoc High was the next aggregation to put in a'n appearance at the local auditorium. It left with a hard earned 20-I4 victory. The visitors caught the opposing guards flat-footed with a couple of their well-executed plays, at the start of the game but the Brillion defense tightened and carried the fight into Two Rivers territory. The game was furious throughout, shots were hurried by close guarding and many of them did everything around the hoop but fall through it. Ullrich, Brillion's big guard was easily the star of this game. After allowing a Two Rivers forward a pot-shot at the start of the game he started breaking up clever plays and returning the ball down the floor in his shifty way. Three times he found the goal with beautiful looping shots bringing the score up to a tie. Other members of his team seemed to have lost their basket-eyes. ALUMNI AT BR1Li.1oN The game with the Alumni was one of the hardest ofthe team's battles. The Alumni had beaten the High team for several successive years: therefore the students' revenge was sweet in the victory over the former school boys. Page forly-eight :QI The OWL of 1928 Ita When asked about the game, the men replied, lt all happened so quickly that we couldn't believe it ourselves. The score was I3 to I5 at the finis. BRILLION AT VALDERS Valders' veteran team again defeated Brillion by a score of I3 to 24. The Red and Whites outplayed Valders nearly all the way but had no luck at the basket. One good effect of the game was that Valders was relieved from the nervous strain under which it had been since the game at Brillion. BRILLION AT Two RIVERS The team went to Two Rivers determined to give that team a good game. The score, which was I4 to 24 in favor of Brillion's opponents, indicates that the game was no walk-away. The team's recreation consisted of exhibiting its individual abilities as natators in the Two Rivers high school swimming pool. BRILLION AT I-IILBERT Hilbert, traditional rival of Brillion, was the next team encountered and though it put up a stubborn resistance the men of Coach Grosskopf returned with a I0-5 score. Hilbert has tasted defeat at the hands of Brillion for a number of times, yet the rivalry is still strong. BmL1.1oN AT LITTLE CHUTE Brillion took this one 24-I5. In the start of the game it looked as if Brillion would have an easy victory, but towards the end the Little Chute lads started to go through the team's defense and gathered a number of baskets which made the score somewhat closer. The victory cost Brillion the services of Barnard, star center, for the rest of the season when he left the game with torn knee ligaments. HILBERT AT Bmi.1.ioN Again, Hilbert was defeated by a 27-I5 count. The game was fast and the visitors made it interesting by taking a commanding lead at the start of the game. Kleiber, substitute forward by the absence of Barnard, made himself a nuisance to the opposition by leading in the scoring. Those with an eye to the future were considerably cheered by the activity of this sopho- more in connection with his classmate Tikalsky. LITTLE CHUTE AT BRILLION The last game of the season resulted in a II-7 victory for the men in red and white. Little Chute fought hard and had Brillion's over-confidence to help them, but were unable to overcome the small lead Brillion did gain. The game was rather uninteresting from the spectators point of view. TOURNAMENT E.LIMINATIONml..OMlRA vs. BRILLION Officials of the W. l. A. A. decided that Brillion and Lomira would have to play an elimination game, the winner going to the sectional tournament. Brillion had a clever opponent who won 28-20 in the best played game of the elimination series. Page forty-nlne if The owt of 1928 Seniors O class of '28, Fling out your banners bright, Step forward with swift gait, And blow your bugle right. On every hand may be a trial, 'Tis but what we expect, Stand up and face it with a smile, And great deeds you'll erect. O fellow classmates, falter not, Or pause to look behind, Still are there victories to be sought, And mysteries to unwind. EARL Zlcx, '28 12 M. As the clock in the assembly began the count of twelve, the students were inspired and arose as a body. Preparations were rapidly being made for a march to the front. fScaling ladders were not used as a means of exit., Just at that precise moment, in walked the Warden O. C. Kluth. A reign of temporary silence, a retreat, and a scene of descending altitudes. Field glasses were not used to spy the monitors as they were quite visible to such an eye as the Warden possessed. Neither were radios or telegraphs used as a means of communica- tion. The call of the roll was taken upon which absent members received honorable mention. Their places were not filled by recruits. One of the gentlemen was called upon to execute an instrumental selection. He made much progress but was not applauded. The semi-daily victuals were soon disposed of. Page fifty li if The OWL of 1928 jg Vague Superstiiions Only three minutes to play and the score is thirteen to fourteen in Webster's favor, announced Ted to Dick without being heard. It was the basketball game between the Webster and Washington High School and Dick Lee, the star player was downcast because of his somewhat unfounded belief in superstitious omens. They couldn't win, he muttered to himself, for he calculated that all the bad luck that happened or could happen to any one had been heaped upon them. A black cat had crossed their path on their way, a tire had blown up, various other troubles had dis- tressed them, incidents of a superstitious character had occurred, it was Friday night, approximately thirteen representatives were there from their school and they had eaten their supper together, Ned missing his chair and sitting down rather hard. Lastly, the score is thirteen which is doubly against us, concluded Dick. The play was resumed, the ball was in Washington hands and Dick was wandering listlessly about the floor. Wake up, wanderer of the wasteland! someone shouted in his ear. Immediately Dick was stirred into action and hardly able to control his southern temper, he was here and then there with remarkable speed, dribbling with ease through the opposing defense. Al- though he shot several times his aims were no goodg in fact they were bad, he knew, but who could make a basket with a jinx following him. Uncon- sciously, he had become a wanderer again. Why all the noise, questioned Dick of Ned grumblingly. What! are you still sleeping? exclaimed Ned, I thought you had awoke long ago: jim has just made a basket. A basket, remember, he added gleefullyf Again the game continued and finally ended while Dick remembered to his chagrin that ,lim was thirteen years old. Either Fate has tricked us or superstition is the 'bunk' remarked Dick to the Coach. lt is the latter said the Coach dryly, we make our own opportunities and win only in life's race by hard work. I am sure mere superstition never has been the cause of a failure or success in whole life's history. The Coach warming up to his subject continued, The rapid or even slow succession of singular coincidents have caused many people to form opinions and establish many of the old-time superstitions. People who believe in superstition now have faith in it simply because of coincidents which have occurred to their knowledge and convinced them without any more doubt. Other superstitions have originated from mythology and various other unreliable resources. Whew, returned Dick, l've been making much ado about nothing. And from then on he resolved that he would forget ridiculous superstition except as a subject for humor. Page fifty-one :gf The OWL of 1928 jg Editorial All of us at some time even in our still young lives have known the peace and quiet of a little village whose tree shaded streets are alive with memories that money could not buy. Though you live to be a hundred and the years are full of wonders, you'll find that the last recollections are those of happy, carefree days of youth. You may forget them for a while, trample them clown, yet in the end your thoughts will carry you back to the streets through which you walked to school. Still, when we go out into the world and people inquire, Where are you from? You hesitate and say in a small voice, Oh, just from a little burg called Brillionn. We enjoy the boy or girl who can truthfully say, l'm from Chicago. We are ashamed to bring our higher up friends to our home town because it's such a little dump, and mother is so different. I simply can't persuade her to part with those rag rugs. We try to put on a citified air and make fools of ourselves. If we erring human beings would spend as much time and thought in developing our own personalities as we do in trying to be like some one else, we could spare ourselves a lot of needless heart aches. ln the course of time we realize our mistake, learn to face facts, learn to be ourselves, but too often the lesson learned was an expensive one and the years were all too short to turn back, so begin to Be Yourself today for The world is a court of reason And every time it rains lt tends to bring the hills and mountains To the level of the plains. Emerson says Education is a life work and not to be crowded into a few early years. We should not stop after a grammar school education but go on to high schools and colleges. Too much education can never be acquired. A well rounded education should bring out what is best in our natures. It should sift and refine them and help to see the best and worthwhile things in life. It should give us knowledge of a wide range of subjects thus giving us a large circle of interests which will help us to enjoy life and its opportunities to a greater extent. Education should teach us a sense of values, it should reveal to us the vast- ness of the world and show us what a tiny speck we really are in this universe and of what little importance we are in the great scheme of things. The right kind of education will not make a person feel inflated with know- ledge but constantly bring home the fact of how little he really knows. Therefore get a good education. Page fi fly-two WU YV' C Page fifly-Ihre: WSJ :gf The owt of 1928 jga Why a High School Educalion Abe Bulle, an unusually brilliant young man, fat least he thought soj, was endeavoring to discover who or what Vice Versa was ..... After con- siderable persuasion, a friend finally consented to narrate to him that Vice Versa was most assuredly a movie actor ...... QNO, Abie wasn't from Brillion High Schoolj ......... The boys had an intense abhor- rence of Abie's name, so they rechristened him Nebucadnezzer for short. Abie was a personage ranking high in the social world, in fact, he said, he dum to the top of the Cottonworth Building, and it was so high that he had to lie on his stomach to let the sun pass. Abie was undecided as to what occupation to choose for his life work. He was extremely thin-so thin that he had to wear a shingle on his back to keep his backbone from cutting his suspenders in two. After considerable concentration and reflecting, Abie decided to become an artist, because he possessed talent: it was an easy occupation, and he was just too dum lazy to earn his livin honest like other folks. He was impelled to give the artistic notion up too- Yup ! He painted a winter scene so realistic that a cow froze to death looking at it, and the picture he painted of his father was so natural that he had to shave him three times a day to keep his beard from wiping up the floor ...... After many days of fruitless searching, he managed to secure a position in a hotel, cooking, but people kicked about the toughness of the meat, saying that the meat was so tough that they couldn't even get their fork in the gravy. Abie was becoming discouraged and worse yet, he was broke. He was so poor that he couldn't afford a collar-button so he substituted a wart on his neck. Well now, isn't that the height of poorness? KNOW, probably if Abie would have secured a high school education, he would not have encountered such difficultiesj Our little hero ventured into a church, but the honorable reverend preached such a sour sermon that Abie had to whistle l..ohengrin's Funeral March to keep his spirits elevated .... He was in a more or less lugubrious state of mind, so he found himself a girl. Abie wanted to propose to her, but he didn't know how to begin. Cprobably if he would have at- tended high school, he would have known U. He wrote to a magazine editor and asked, Should a man propose to a girl on his knees? The editor replied, By all means, or otherwise she ought to get off. Abie also asked, Why does my girl always close her eyes when I kiss her? He received the following reply, Please send us your photograph and we probably can tell! The editor also informed Nebucadnezzar four little hero, better known to us as Abie-J that the reason many families break up is because of man's love of wet goods and women's love of dry goods. Abie purchased a cheap suit Page fifty-four :gf The OWL of 1928 jg from a jew store, but when he arrived home he discovered that the suit was literally flooded with moths. Returning to the store, he berated the seller for cheating him. The jew silently observed him for a moment and then replied, Ach, vot you expect for four dollars feefty cents, butterflies, Cprob- ably if high school education would have been obtained, Abie would not have encountered this commotionj. The same evening that Abie bought his suit, he proposed to his girl. Abie's hard luck increased: she accepted. fLater the bridegroom presented the bride with a beautiful diamond brooch with many other things in cut glass., And Oyelg such a mob at that wedding. It was worse than the Whiskey Rebellion. Ben Turpen Tynne was there, Mrs. Liebenstein, Harry Head, Mr. 81 Mrs. Uffol, Ed. U. Kation, Nicholas Cartor, Christ Muss, all of them were there. But why shouldn't they comeg the eats were exceptionally good, And-oh yes! Mrs. Wolfe and all the little Wolfes were there: Oye! Such a pack of hungry wolves. When it came time to eat, there was nothing to eat, the wolves had eaten all the eatables,-all except the soup. It wouldn't have been so bad Nick Carter said, only the soup dicln't match his vest, and Mr. Uffol sneezed so hard that his false teeth flew out, and everyone was crawling on the floor looking for his teeth, all but fet Mrs. Liebenstein,-she was sleeping. At last Nick Carter found them-in the soup! Mrs. Uffol was so mortified that she refused a third helping of the soup. Mrs. Liebenstein said accidents will happen to anyone, even hcrscy. Etc. Etc. Etc. Etc. But as all good stories end, this one ended happily in spite of Abie's lack of high school education. But if Abie would have had a high school education, he could have seen the folly of picking a one eyed wife with three teeth and a cork leg ........... The newly married couple were-oh-so- happy. Abie had secured a job teaching parrots to cuss and yodel, while Elsie Fetcup, his bride, was a good dish bathern and an excellent hash-slingcrf' Now dear intelligent readers, l hope I have impressed on your minds how important and necessary a high school education is, for I have endeavored to show you the hardships a young man encountered because he lacked a high school education, how he was at a loss to pick an occupation, and what a miserable failure he nearly was and thus by this well-meant example Dear readers, try to improve your own morals and standards as well as securing a high school education. Well now, if I had more time, I might specify other examples that did not end as happily as this one, but it is getting late and bedtime draws nigh, so l will refrain from giving any more advice.

As for knowing a joke they will only have to look at themselves to see the joke. One Freshmen told me that money caused half of his trouble. I suppose the other half is caused by the lack of money. If you want to be a politician do not let them buy you like many of them do for there is more money in rent. Does it matter? A sophomore radio enthusiast fformer King? smears onions on his radio aerial to make the stations come in stronger. Beware! Many of the girls in the sophomore class are mere gardeners but they sure know their onions. Among the sophomores I also notice many road hawks. They only take half of the road but they always want your half. Does it matter? Will the junior class learn to make use of its knowledge? She is only a janitor's daughter but she sweeps them off their feet. All ye students who go to college beware of your manners and deeds. A student in Harvard was recently con- victed of treason for carrying a Yale lock. A man was arrested in Cambridge for wearing Oxfords. Make your life successful but do not let your gray matter turn green. When in the stage of matrimony do not give your wife a piece of your mind for she might not return it. Aha! Ye seniors. Does it matter what you do? Here are a few things which should caution you. If you are an evolu- tionist never look under your bureau for the missing link. If you have sore feet you do not have to become a flag-pole sitter. Never let your husband join the Ku Klux Klan. You might have to wait for him to come home to make your bed. If you have a cold in your head do not be disagreeable for it is better than nothing. Beware of girls who want to become athletic for they are turning their attention to dumb bells. Will it matter? Yea, seniors, show the community that you have real ambition. Do not be like the loafer who spends his time in loafing for eight and one-half years. It would have been nine but he was in bed for six months. But,-Does it matter? A FEW THINGS WE WISH TO KNOW ABOUT THE SENIORS Why Martin came back to school after a week's visit at Appleton. How soon Theodore will become a minister. Why Lawrence doesn't always dress as a girl. Who Kermit's neighbor is in the assembly. Where Loraine was when Miss Kleinhammer was looking for her after she was shipped. What Lydia will do after she has Finished high school. Why Linda got a permanent. To whom Wilmer sold tickets for the Senior Class Play. When Elvira will bob her hair. Where Evelyn got her laugh. Page ffly-eight sg The owl. of 1928 jga Whois Who I think I shall suc-ceed in life be-cause my an-cest-ors and my-self were bless-ed with good con-sti-tu-tions which will with-stand the dai-ly grind. Who- so-ever choos-es to ob-tain more da-ta on how to suc-ceed will please come to me and I shall loan you a copy of my book on the sub-ject, en-ti-tled 'How to Suc-ceed'. So says Nor-ma Groth to whom a lov-ing cup made of choice spider webs was a-ward-ed in rec-og-ni-tion of her po-ten-tial ab-il-ity to suc-ceed. Ed-ward Giese was al-most u-nan-imous-ly pro-claim-ed cham-pion dream-er. Ed-ward says he became ac-cust-om-ed to hi-ber-nat-ing when he was in the first grade. Ed-ward's rec-ord for dream-ing is twenty-two hours. It took him a half an hour to get to school and an hour and a half to eat. Ber-nice Shill-ing was de-clar-ed to be a first rate heart-breaker. . At the an-nu-al gum chew-ing con-test which was held at the Au-di-to-ri- um, Mary Long was her-ald-ed as the cham-pion gum chew-er. Mary is ac- cred-it-ed on the list with six-hun-dred sev-en rev-0-lu-tions per min-ute. Mary also broke the en-dur-ance rec-ord. The hon-ors of be-ing the wit-ti-est stud-ent go to Mar-tin Jooss, who is a Sen-ior boy. Sen-ior boys have car-ried off all the hon-ors as wit-ty stu-dents. We are told by Mar-tin that one needs wit to make his way through school. Mar-tin was a-ward-ed a pic-ture of the Fox and the Grapes , for his work. It was dec-id-ed that Karl Klei-ber was the best boy stu-dent. It is part-ly due to the fact that there are a few bright Fresh-men. Also from the fact that he in-her-its be-ing bright from his fore-fathers. In rec-og-ni-tion of his good work he will re-ceive a new well-bound book of syn-o-nyms which will aid him in working cross-word puzzles. To Cor-don Schul-er go the hon-ors of be-ing call-ed the High School Sheik . Cor-don re-ceiv-ed as a prize a bot-tle of hair ton-ic, a fin-ger nail file and a van-ity case. He truly ap-prec-i-ates the support that his fol-low-ers gave to him and says he will do all he can to make him-self look as good as poss-ible. The prize She-ba , Dor-o-thy Ross, has com-plet-ed her post grad-u-ate course in the art of vamp-ing. She tells us that a wink in 'time saves nine. As a re-ward for her eff-orts she will be favored with a ride to As-keat-on in a sin-gle hor-se shay. The bur-dens of the high school broad-caster go to Law-rence Ker-stem Law-rence says he has an ex-ceed-ing-ly good pair of lungs and asks the priv- i-lege to use them in full ca-pac-i-ty as a broad-caster. I-le was a-ward-ed a meg-a-phone for the stren-uous job he has tack-led. Page fifty-nine :gf The OWL of 1928 Eg The-o-dore .lor-dan is the cham-pi-on or-a-tor of the Brillion High School. The-o-dore is in his last year and we will sure-ly be-reave his loss from the as-sem-bly. The-o-dore will put his brains a-gainst those of De-mos-the-nes and Cic-er-o in the near fu-ture. The-o-dore was a-ward-ed a ma-ma doll as a re-ward. She can walk, talk, and cry. Hand-some is as hand-some does. This per-tains to Al-lan Barnard who e-merg-ed from the swim with the hon-ors of be-ing the hand-som-est man. Al-lan was al-lowed to have his pic-ture taken free of charge. His pic-ture will be some-where or other and he will en-ter some contest or other for the hand- some. ' Lor-aine Herr was de-clared to be the cham-pi-on girl bluff-er and why should she not be? The old the-or-y is that good looks and brains go hand in hand, and one must have brains to bluff suc-cess-fully. If any in-for-mat-ion is nec-es-sa-ry it is sure that Loraine will fur-nish some. The most in-Hu-en-tial man was found to be Al-lan Bar-nard. We are in- form-ed by the hand-some one that his ex-per-i-ence leads back to the days when he us-ed to tend the bar in the clrug store. He of-ten in-Hu-enced a man to buy pow-der for his neph-ew. The fem-i-nine loud speak-er is Vi-ola Fox. She may take it up-on her-self at any time to help Law-er-ence Ker-sten broad-cast any news which needs such a meth-od of dis-tri-bu-tion. As a loaf-er Nor-bert Brick was of-fer-ed no com-pe-ti-tion and in ap-pre- ci-a-tion of his con-tin-u-ous work as a loaf-ing ex-po-nent was a-ward-ed a cal-i-co med-al which he will take a-long with him when he grad-u-ates and will tell oth-er peo-ple some-thing a-bout the art. El-mer Ull-rich was a-ward-ed a silk night-gown for be-ing the best boy bluff-er. He says he is learn-ing fast and now can bluff al-most any tea-cher into giv-ing him a good mark. Of the four who re-cei-ved hon-ors as bluff-ers, two were Sen-iors. The un-der-class-men will find that they learn as they grow ol-der. Fred-er-ick Bloe-dorn won the prize for be-ing the best boost-er for the Brillion High School. An ex-trac-tion and gen-er-al con-clu-sion from his speech was giv-en at the ann-u-al meet-ing of the Bach-el-ors. We find that he be-lieves in boost-ing any-thing worth-while. Any-thing which is worked out through the in-flu-ence of the Brillion High School is worth-while. In ap-pre-ci-a-tion of his work the Sen-ior class has giv-en him a sil-ver tongue so that he may make his speeches all the more el-o-quent. Cor-don Schul-er was dis-cov-er-ed to be the male heart-break-er. His es-cort-ing of a pop-ular girl from the North side made him a sure choice to cop the hon-ors. He has his reg-u-lar hours after school and has made an ac-cur-ate sched-ule of his aff-airs so that he just arrives home in time for milk- Page sixty QI The OWL of 1928 jg ing. As a re-ward for his eff-orts he will be pre-sent-ed with a new car which will run auto-mat-i-cally so as not to in-ter-fere with his affairs. Lor-aine Herr who 'tis said is the fair-est of the rar-est de-serves a lit-tle more than hon-or-ary men-tion for be-ing the High School's beaut-y. She ad-vo-cates Kearn's Day Cream for all those who wish to compete with her. She will be a-ward-ed an ap-pear-ance as Miss Brill-ion at Otto Koch's Ar-cade next week in the P. M. Law-er-ence Ker-sten took the first hon-ors for be-ing the goat. The ev-i-dence is very hard to ob-tain as to just where the re-sem-blance comes in. Law-er-ence had to work hard to get a-way from his com-pet-i-tor, Ed-ward Giese. King Ker-sten is gett-ing en-ough pub-lic-ity through this sec-tion but may-be he deserves it. Ber-nice Schill-ing was dis-cov-er-ed to be the most bash-ful girl in the Brill-ion High School. She hails from a place call-ed Kas-son where the males are scar-cer than hair on a beav-er's tail. S3 Grandma says that most girls get a shingle but in the wrong place. Victor Wolf: Who wants to buy a ticket for the basket ball game to-nite? Viola Fox: I'lI bite, who wants to? A certain Freshman boy is so dumb that he thinks that Whooping Cough was invented by the Indians. ' Mr. Wileman: How is electricity measured? Gerhard L.: What? Mr. Wileman: Correct Mr. Wileman: Now each one of you read your theme and see who can make additions or-i Student: Subtractions? Mr. Wileman: All right, move out. THE GREAT SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY Mr. Wileman, our science teacher, has discovered why two people walking in the moon light only produce one shadow. This great discovery will put his name in Who's Who. Page .sixty-one SI The OWL of 1928 jg The Adventure of Lewis A Long time ago a man by the name of Lewis set out to earn some Kasch. I-Ie was rather a peculiar and Stern old man and instead of going to the heart of a city he went to the back woods of Canada. Now this man had plenty of Gruett for we know the dangers to be encountered in these great forests. I-Ie filled his pockets with a lot of junk including a Ziegler bar to quell his appetite and a Brick with which to ward off any foe. In the course of his journey he came to a great lake as clear as Christel which he was not Abel to cross. A Fischer man agreed to row him across. In the middle of the stream they ran into a great ice Berg and bent the rudder of the ship. They tried to Bender back but could not so Lewis was obliged to swim the rest of the way. He then found himself in the heart of a great wood. I-Ie could hear the hum and Drumm of the beasts at play but the Stern old man could not be moved or frightened. The very first thing he 'Meetz was a Fox. I-Ie drew the Brick from his pocket and threw it at the Fox but missed by a mile. The next thing he met was a Wolf with a thick Croth of I-Ierr covering his entire body. He made a dash for the Wolf and succeeded in stealing a Laack of his Herr which he afterward sold for a Schilling. This was the only Kasch that he obtained. K. S.

SEPTEMBER School opens its door for a year of prison work. The students rush in to look over the faculty. They satisfy was the answering reply. Some of the teachers decide that the students are more capable than they are, because they can read their own writing. First Senior Class Meeting. Pat Barnard was elected as President of the Senior Class. Many others were campaigning for the position. The Girls' Clee Club was organized. Quite a bit of music floating in the air. Friday! The teachers seem a trifle more agreeable. The student body is astonished. OCTOBER Freshmen-Sophomore hike. The Freshmen aren't so dumb at all. They had sense enough to get to the Weiner roast. Everyone seems to be quite pleasant. The teachers go to the con- vention at Oshkosh. Boys' Clee Club organized. The Brillion Police Force was called to stop the noise. First G. A. A. meeting. Miss Sutor and Miss Brandemuehl were elected as advisors. Report cards handed out. The storekeepers reported that there was a large sale of red ink. Home Economic supper.

P g l 'Q The owe of 1928 A Yearbook Service that z'nspz7'es a staff to creative effort A school annual is at its best when student interest is keyed to a high pitch by the fascinating development of niceties that will make the book distinctive. This is the key idea back of Badger Yearbook Service. Close contacts and generous assistance offer stu- dents an insight into the fundamentals of school annual building. The work is accord- ingly given impetus through a better under- standing of the purpose and aim in every move. Thus, a staff knows at all times what it desires to accomplish. When this is achieved, the task becpmes a pleasure. The success of the Badger plan is evi- denced each year in the high ratings re- ceived by an unusually large percentage of books produced by us.
