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.

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.

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.
