All along the stony road to education, many have entered and left, so we shali mention only the members of the class ot ’38. Ruth Geske, Ila Mae Bartz, Ray Chartraw, James Faulkner, Leonard Adkins, “Bill” Wilson, “Bob” Davis, Donald Conway, Glenn Carter, Gene Schmutzer, and “Tom” Purdy, began in kindergarten, the long difficult journey to attain wisdom. In the first grade, Marion Hed joined the ranks of knowledge seek-rs. The second grade was uneventful, but in the third, Ruth Bowman entered. During the fourth and fifth grades no new members appeared. In the sixth grade, when we moved from the South to the North School, Virginia Combs and Leone Gee became part of the educational union. In the seventh and eighth grades, our class remained the same. In the Fall of 1934 we gathered at the Crandon High School and our ranks were reinforced by the appearance of Hazel Harr.s, Alfred Derickson, Stalling Abney, Ivan Jones, Hobert Le Master, Azel Fra’ey. Ruby Hillman, Eugene Statezny, James Ginter, Ray Schnaedter,- Hazel Yocum, Bernard Sparks, and Virgil Murphy. Most of these came from Nashville, Mole Lake, Shermans Corner, Siding One, Siding Two and Range Line. Our Freshman; class ‘President was Raymond Chartraw and Mr. Lincoln was our class ad-' visor. At the end of the year we took a tri p to Smoky Falls for our annual, picnic. • In our Sophomore year, Gene Schmutzer was chosen President and Mr. Manley was class adviser. This year w-e went to Spread Eagle Lake for our picnic. When we became the sophisticated Junior class, Harriet Mount, LuElla Papineau, Bob Braun, Marvin Braun, and Gwendolyn Gerl decided that our class neeued them anu joined. Marion hed was President this year. Mr. Man-lay took over the advisoryship for the 2nd year. The Junior Prom was a gala affair. The assembly was decorated to resemble a vineyard. Green leaves and vines crept along white trellis’s on the wall and ceiling, and largs clusters of grapes hung here and there about the room. In the Senior year, Esther Hartman, Viola Allen, Margie Maltby, Ruby Lockard, ano Jsarmce barnes occame members of our class. The class officers elected were: President—Bob Davis, Vice President—James Faulkner, Secretary—Gene Schmutzer, Treasurer—Gene Statezny. The Carnival, managed by James Faulkner and 'Raymond Chartraw was a huge success. The high school building creaked and groaned under the load. The end is near, All’s quiet on the Western Front of education. Finally with a shout of h2ip� piness and tears of sorrow, the class of 1938 graduates, to become a thing of the past. The members to take up varied occupations and parts in life. So with laughter on our lips and tears in our eyes we members of the class of 1938 come to the parting of the ways. BACCALAUREATE Baccalaureate services for the Senior Class of 1938 will be held in the High School Auditorium Sunday evening, May 15, at 8:00 o’clock.

The Processional and Recessional will be played by Miss Vanita Fergu- Football The first football game played by Crandon was at Wabeno. Both of the learns were well matched for the opening event. Wabeno had the edge via :he air, but the Cards had the edge in the running game. Wabeno scored once in the last quarter which was enough for a vic.ory. This was done by a pass into the end zone. In the few minutes left to play the Cards were unable to advance far enough to score. It was a swell game and the home boys never gave up the fight till everything was over. The score at the end was Wabeno 6, Crandon 0. This was a non-conference game. The next game, which was played at home, was between the Cardinals and the strong Niagara team. This team had sorely defeated the Cards :ast year and the home 'boys were out for revenge. The Cards really put on :he pressure and ran the Niagara fellows around the field. The score would have .been much bigger if Crandon had not slipped up on a couple of scoring chances. The score at the end of the game was Crandon 12, Niagara 7. Niagara got their touchdown in the third frame by a plunge from the one yard line. Crandon scored both of their touchdowns in the second frame. This was also a non-conference game. The third game of the season was played at Elcho. The -Cards went wild against the weak Elcho gang and piled up a score of 53 to 0. The blocking, running, and passing was really beautiful that day. Almost everything went ight. The second string which was sent in even scored a touchdown. The Elcho boys never came within striking distance at any time. On that day the Cards looked like real champions. In the second conference game of the season the Cards tackled Wabeno at home. On that day the Cards once more started out like champions. A :ough break came in the second quarter when a Wabeno man intercepted a Crandon pass and raced 75 yards to a touchdown. This broke the Crandon team's spirit. From then on everything was Wabeno. The score ended Wa-beno 18, Crandon 0. The third conference game saw Crandon at Minocqua. This game proved to be one of the best games played during the conference season. Although the day was cloudy, and a drizzling rain kept falling throughout the game, most of the scoring on both sides was done by passes. The Minocqua boys jumped to a fast stepping stall. Before the first six minutes had gone by Minocqua had slipped two touchdowns over the Cards on passes. They failed to make either of the extra points. That ended their scoring. Everyone thought the Cards would give up, but such was not the case. From then on the Card’s running, passing, and blocking picked up. Crandon’s first score came in the second quarter as a result of position by passes. The try for extra -point was good. The second touchdown came just in time to win the game. With only 1U seconds left to go a long pass by Crandon’s “Arnie IIcv-ber”, Jim Faulkner, was clamped on to by Chartraw who raced the five remaining yards for a touchdown. The extra point was missed, but it wasn’t needed. The score at the end of the game was Crandon 13, Minocqua 12. It was one of those games that only happen in movies. The Cards were well inspired the next Saturday when they went to Laona for an invasion. The field was wet and the running game was slowed up on both sides. The Cards once more took to the air and their passing attack worked like a charm that day. All of their points came as a result of passes cr positions gained by passes. The score at the end of the game was Crandon 16, Laona 0. The last and final game of the season brought the Crandon Cards into the championship game. They were facing Eagle River, the only undefeated team of the conference. The Crandon gang had lost but one conference game and were in second place. If they could beat the Eagles they would tie for championship. The game was played on the Crandon field, and the crowd out to witness the game was one of the largest ever to gather in the northern conference for such a purpose. The game was even throughout the first quarter, at the end of which Crandon led 7 to 6. From that time till the end of the game the Eagles powerful eleven put on the pressure. The Cards battled gamely the rest of the game, but couldnn’t withstand the tremendous off-tackle power plays of the invaders. The score at the end of the game was Eagle River 31, Crandon 7. Thus ended one of the most successful seasons the Crandon Gridiron Cards have ever had, but we sincerely hope other teams better it by far.

It cannot be better emphasized than in Coach Krumm's own words, “wo'll be lucky if we win half our games ’ The boys practiced hard and looked good but no one gave them a chance in their opening tussle with Eagle River. What did they do? They went right out and handed the Eagles a 25 to 19 set-back, and a “find 4 was uncovered in Ivan “Bump” Jones, who later developed into one of the finest defensive players in the conference. Next came the Hiles encounter and Captain Ray Chartraw made it vic-try number two by ringing up 21 points to lead his mates to a 36 to 17 victory. . , • The Three Lakes game was next and the Cards showed they could stand pressure when they played their ace, Chartraw, with a long bucket in the closing minutes to come through with an 8 to 7 victory. Gaining confidence, the Redmen came from behind again in the closing seconds to whip Eagle River for the second time 21 to 19. Just to show the fans that scoring 21 points against Hiles wasn’t luck, Captain Chartraw did it again as the Cards romped to an easy 34 to 6 win over Goodman for their first conference win. The Wabeno game, there, showed again that Krumm’s warriors could come back as they put on a fast last quarter finish to win 25 to 16. Next came the return engagement at Hiles and after a close contest, the Cardinals found themselves on top at the end by a 19 to 14 count. Whats this?—seven wins in a row?—but beating Argonne on their own floor was their next tough assignment. The Cards found themselves behind 10 to 7 at the half but with Chartraw and Faulkner leading a stirring second half rally they pulled away to an easy 25 to 12 decision. Next came their biggest test of the year—White Lake. Wbuld their winning streak be stopped by a great White Lake team? Chartraw said “no” as he put on a sensational shooting spree to score as many points alone as Coach Laabs Lakesters while his mates picked up the other seven to win 25 to 18. The boys found themselves in a relapse against Laona but had enough class left to pull through with a 15 to 10 triumph. The Cardinals still couldn't shake off their slump against Three Lakes but they still escaped unscathed by turning in a 20 to 1G win. Wabeno was next to try their luck in stopping Krumm’s now rampaging Cardinals at the community hall. They went the way of all others as the Redmcn bounced back, after two rather dull showings, to score an overwhelming 27 to 3 victory. The Cards were the first to open the Goodman classy gymnasium to conference play and they did it very handily by coming back in the second half to score a 24 to 15 win. Argonne came here next, determined to stop this fellow Chartraw. They did it very nicely 'but forgot all about watching Totten, Faulkner and the rest of the Redbirds and as a result were whipped 35 to 20. The game at White Lake will always remain in the memory of the many Crandon fans who saw it. Behind 22 to 11 at the start of the final Quarter, the boys refused to call it quits and with a regular story book finish outpointed the Lakesters by a nose, 23 to 22. Wath fifteen straight under their 'belts, the Cardinals wanted one more, and got it by turning back the invading Laona Kellys 21 to 12 in the final game of the season. So ended the greatest basketball season in the history of the local school. You might call them a miracle team and their coach “a miracle man” but that isn’t quite fair for there wasn’t anything miraculous about their victorys. They won most of them the hard way by refusing to be whipped, and Crandon fans hand out orchids to a great team and a fine coach.

At the fust meeting ot the band the following Clarinets Glenn Hoffman Saxophones Mary Jean Hooper Trumpets . Robert Davis Bass Harriet Mount 0 James Church Snare Drum George Hayes ass Drum . Trombone . . Harry Wickham Cymbal director, the band has members turned out: Gene Kocian Marjory Dean ........ Jerry Clark ...... Ray Schnaedter ......... Marion Hed .... Ila May Bartz During the course of the year several new members have been added. First, these ruw members were given individual instruction, then class instruction, and finally were placed in the regular band. The members that were added to the band are as follows: Clarinets Trum pets Elizabeth Hansen Robert Jacobson Mary Paul Howard Koth De Laine Bartz Saxophone Melophonc Snare Drum .. Betty Marsh Winifred Abney Robert Powers Vanita Ferguson During the football season the organization served as a pep band for all of the home games. The members of the faculty and the members of the band took the first steps in raising funds for the purpose of buying uniforms. A card party was held at the high school for that purpose, which was very successful. The next step was the organization of a Band-Parent Association, the purpose of which was to find ways and means of financing the band. On December 15, 1037, the parents of all the band members met at the high school, and at the business meeting the following officers were elected: President—Mr. John Kocian, Vice-President—Mrs. H. W. Hansen, Secretary-Treasurer—Mrs. Mildred Hooper. The officers then met and decided to put on a musical revue sometime during the first part of the year, to he held in the high school auditorium. Also a series of card parties were held in the homes of the parents, and the proceeds were enough to finish paying for the uniforms. Eighteen uniforms, each of which consisted of a cap and cape, were ordered from Collegiate Cap and Gown Company at the approximate cost of $140.00. The uniforms are cardinal red and white to match the school colors. The caps are red, all-wool gabardine, each with a stiff raised crown, two-inch white band, and heavy black visor. The capes are red all-wool gabardine trimmed with white silk braid. Each cape has an old english “C” on the lower left hand side. The lining is white rayon satin. White trousers, white shirts and black ties complete the uniforms. The band really presents a very blazing spactacle. After we received the uniforms the band played at the home basketball games, and performed several formations during the halves of the games. During the course of the year the band has been invited to play at several of the school and city functions. The organization supplied the music for the Senior Play which was held in the Crandon Theatre. On May 2, the band -played for a program sponsored by the Woman’s Club of Crandon and on -May 7, traveled to Hiles to take part in the Forest County Music Festival. There, they were part of a ninety-five piece band made up of the members of the Wabeno and Laona High School. BOXING This y.sar boxing was introduced for the first time. As we were late in getting started, only two cards were held, both with Goodman High School. Goodman won the first card 6 to 5. Bud Fannin won the last bout of the evening on a technical knockout in the third round, however, this bout did not count as it was an exhibition bout. On the following Monday, April 11, a return card was held at Crandon. Crandon won this card by a score of 6 to 3. The squad this year composed of the following boys: Winfred Abney, Luther McMillion, Franklin King, Arthur Campbell, James Faulkner,, Leonard Adkins, Ray Schnaedter, Charles Grusntzel, William Wilson, Edward Gilbert, Thomas Fannin, Paul Harris, Glenn Carter, and Vernon Johnson. Next year we hope to make boxing cne of the major sports. MC” CLUB The “C” club, organized under the direction of Mr. Krumm, consists of lettermcn only. There are small dues to be paid each year and the money obtained from parties, benefit shows, club dues, and donations from the business men have been turned into the club treasury where it will be paid cut for awards for the lettermen each year. To become a letterman and a member of the “C” club a player must take part in either ten actual minutes of football or play in at least ten different quarters cf basketball. The “C” club had the honor of sponsoring the first party of the year. Lunch was served at intermission which consisted of cake, sandwiches, and coffee. Music was furnished by our own Gene Kocian and his Knights of Swing. The party was a success even though the football team had dropped a hard fought game to Wabeno that afternoon. The club cleared $21.00 which was put into the treasury to help pay for awards for football and basketball lettermen. Forensics Declamatory and Oratory Work An important branch of Forensics is the declamatory and oratory work. The chief aim is to teach self-confidence and poise when speaking before a crowd. This year only six students frcm our high school took part in these activities. They were: oratory—Robert Davis and Joe Grandine; dramatic declamatory—Virginia Combs and Ruby Hillman; humorous declamatory— Elizabeth Hansen and Marion Hed. Thre of these students showed special perseverence by having taken part for four years. Listed with their selections they are: Robert Davis—-March of the Constitution, Colleges for Crooks, Hands, and The Big Parade; Ruby Hillman—The Black Truth, Humoresque, Fear God and Take Your Own Part, and Mothers of Men; Marion Hed—At the Swimming Pool, The Widow's Mites, Hann.bal's Wedding Belle, and At the Skating Rink. Since there were so few contestants, only two in each division, no elimination contest was needed or held. To get some practice, before the league, they spoke before the high school assembly. April 7, they motored to Eagle River for the league contest. The oratory was held in the afternoon where Robert Davis placed third. Supper was served to all contestants, coaches, and judges by the Home Economics department of the Eagle River High School. Then, in the evening, the declamatory contests were held. Virginia Combs and (Ruby Hillman placed first and second respectively in the dramatic department and Marion Hed received first in the humorous. Wednesday afternoon, April 13, Virginia Combs, Ruby Hillman, and Marion Hed accompanied by Miss Roberts and Mr. Krumm motored to Peshtigo to take part in the sub-district contest held there. Although the Crandon contestants displayed wonderful talent, none of them placed. Far from daunted the contestants returned to Crandon and are sincerely hoping that next year seme other students will carry on, for them and for good old Crandon High. SENIOR CLASS PLAY For the annual class play, the Senior Class of 1938 chose a farce comedy Lindy Lou”. It was a story of a college graduate, Dick, who needed $5,000 to get the approval of T. Timothy Tweedscme to marry his niece, Lindy Lou. In order to get the money, he masqueraded as a girl, entered a beauty contest and proceeded to win the first place of “Miss America” and a $5,000 cash prize. Comedy was furnished by every member of the cast in almost every line. There was just a touch of mystery to keep ycu in suspense until the last scene, and the love interest should have kept your pulses throbbing and your heart beating faster. THE CAST Lindy Lou Evans .................................... Marion Hed T. Timothy Tweedsome ............................. Robert Davis Dick Barry ... ..................................

Social News The Senior Carnival The- Senior Carnival, sponsored by the class of 1938, was quite a success. L ue to the cooperation of the school and the whole community, it went over with a ‘‘bang . ilhe main shows put on by the Juniors was an imitation of a Jack Benny Radio Broadcast. Dirfeient high -school students impersonated Frea Alien, Jack Benny, Don V?iison, Boo Burns, Tizzie Lish, Fibber McGee, Kenny baker, Mary Livingston, Henry Bosse, Martha Rae, Eleanor Poweil and others. The actors were equally as good, it not better than the real stars. The All Star Revue, tcatunng many local dancers, was as good as any Follies or floor show; trucking, shagging, the big apple, rhumba, and tapping were expertly done. The Troiessor Quizz show was interesting and educational and aroused quite a bit of interest. The House of Yvcnders, where frogs and snakes represented a variety of pickles, a trying pan, a .black spider and others drew the attention ox many. The bingo game and the dart game drew crowds in the game of chance room. Many expert pox.r piayers completely iaued at -playing ’‘dart-poker.” The dance was enjoyed by all. Gene Kocian and his 'Mimicking Musicians gave lortn iocs ox rcai All in all, the Carnival was a success because of the cooperation of the students, the donations, and cooperation of the -local merchants. Bigger and better carnivals may be held, but none will offer any better time tnan the one of 1938. lo all the helpful students, parents, merchants and friends we wish to extend thanks ana to Jimmie raulkner, the “push” behind the success of the carnival, our appreciation. The Junior Promenade The Junior Promenade of May sixth was well attended and it is believed that ail present enjoyed themselves. The High School students thrilled at being able to be lormai ac tne one ‘o.g” event. The outsiders as well as students were pleased with the music of Frank Corsi and his orchestra from Iron Mountain. The decorations were cause for much discussion. The theme, “Rainbow” was displayed in its best enect with pots of geld as a source of indirect lighting. rlne colored rays of light emerging from within the gold pots were reriected on the many colors combined in the rainbows along the walls. These numerous small rainbows contrasted w.th the huge ones which served as a canopy overhead. The rainbow that made a background for the orchestra was especially delightful due to the footlights on the stage. Two minor arches and a pot oi gold along the front cf the stage seemed to isolate the orchestra from the dancers. A delightful lunch was served on bridge tables in the rooms on the first floor, after which the guests resumed dancing until one o’clock and reluctantly left the gayly trimmed audiiorium. Thus ended the Junior Prom given in honor of the class of ’38. The Freshman Party The Freshman party of January 14, was perhaps the most lively frolic of the school year, with an exception of the Carnival, of course. It was the happy evening that Crandon defeated the White Lake basketball team by a score of twenty-five to eighteen so everyone, including Mr. Krumm, was in high spirits. There was a very large crowd present including quite a few out-of-town people. (No one was lorced to come either). Music was furnished by Gene Kocian and his wonderful Knights of Swing. Lunch was served in the Home Economics room during the intermission. It consisted of coffee, sandwiches, pickles, and cake. (Better than potato salad any time). The Sophomore Party The Sophomore party, held on April 22, was a huge social, as well a. financial success. (This was due to the splendid turnout of the Freshmen who seemed anxious to attend.) The music was furnished by Art Boyer and his Californians. Each Freshman was given a bright green tie free of charge. Special ties were given to Mrs. Marsh and Mr. Kostrzak, Freshmen advisors. The lunch was served in an extremely different and successful manner. It consisted of potato salad, (we noted the Freshmen ate the salad with great relish), sandwiches, cookies, and coffee and was served at tables which were set up in classrooms. In all probability this method of serving will be used hereafter in the C. H. S. Dancing was also most unique. (Especially that of the Freshmen). Dances consisted of robber’s waltzes, ladies choice and tag dances. The dancing continued until twelve o’clock. Rumors tell the “Sophies” that theirs was the most successful dance of the season. With Boyer making music It was a great success, Why the Freshmen came at all We now leave you to guess. GIRL’S CLUB The Girl’s Club met November 10. 1937 to organize and elect officers. The following officers were elected: Hazel Harris, President; Marion Hed, Vice President; and Hazel Yocum, Secretary-Treasurer. The following week a pot luck supper and dance was given. Music was furnished by Mrs. Hazel Ferguson. The next meeting was planned for December 8, 1937. On December 3 the girls met and drew names for the exchanging of Christmas gifts. It was decided that a pot luck supper be held on December 8, and gifts exchanged at that time. The Girls’ Club ordered emblems with a red cardinal on a white background. These were sold in the High school and Grade school. Another “Pot Luck”, and dance was given May 11, 1938. A picnic was held with the money collected during the year. SENIOR CLASS PICNIC For the past few years it has been a custom for the Seniors to have an annual “Skip Day”. But instead of having a Skip Day and also taking another trip for a picnic, the Senior Class decided to combine the two into one, and on Monday, ‘May 16, the class went by truck to Vogel’s Park, at the picturesque Dells of the Eau Claire River. Ice cream and pop were furnished and each person brought his own lunch. SENIOR BANQUET AND SENIOR DANCE On Wednesday, May 13, the Senior Class will hold a farewell banquet at the Hotel Crandon. The faculty will be present at this affair. After the Ranquet, the class is holding a return dancing party for the Juniors in the High School Assembly. This is given in return for the Prom and takes the place of the banquet for the Juniors. A lunch, proceeds of which will be given to the Athletic or “C” club, will be served at intermission. The Sophomores and Freshman arc also invited to attend this party, since it is a school affair. At the dance the Seniors will wear their caps and gowns, making it a Senior Night, instead of the usual Senior Day.
