In Making History For De Pere SEPTEMBER 3 1 z Write your name on the top line - only a part of the registration taking place on this first day. Today marks the beginning of things, at least the beginning of nine and one- half months of school life. Miss Mildred James of Whitewater of- fers her contribution to the commer- cial classes. Seriousness, itself. Students are warn- ed of dangers of war by Mr. Merril. Meetings are called. The students are in a dither . Class officers are being elected. De Pere starts out season with a touch- down Qin fact, two of 'emj to defeat Two Rivers on their own field 13-0. Students fooled and foiled by as- sembly program given by Huntington, the Magician. Foiled again, this time on the foot- ball field when Sturgeon Bay went home with a 12-6 victory feather in their cap. OCTOBER Hollywood, here we come, --with the aid of the new dramatic club. Fire Week brought Mr. Crabb, the local fire chief to talk on the subject of Fire Prevention. Unlucky????? Friday the thirteenth. No. Brings luck? Squad defeated Al- goma 19-0. A member now in good standing . G. R. give new members the works to give them this honor. The good luck C?j of Friday the thir- teenth carried over another week with the team, anyway, for at Kewaunee, they beat their opponents 31-13. The Seniors believe in appreciation of their own work. They celebrated the success of the first Howler staff, at a luncheon in the new home ec room. De Pere still carries the banner of suc- cess: this time at Oconto with a 27-6 victory. Halloween. The witches, bringing a storm, scared out most of the planned pep rally. NOVEMBER Homecoming game with much pomp and ceremony. The witches worked, not for, not against. Game ended with a tie score of 6-6 against Oconto Falls. The first days of celebration since school started. The teachers leave, the teensters take their two-days vaca- tion with the calmness and coolness al- ways found in students of high school age. Of course all this has been leading up to something, all the students, with- out exception, were presented with yel- low cards telling their fate for the first nine weeks. Peace??? Not around school. Oh, an assembly program featuring a talk on Armistice Day and Peace given by Major James. Tied games are still in line, even to the score, but here's the difference. This one was at Kaukauna, non-conference, followed by a dance with De Pere at- tendance in the evening. Junior Class needs money for a start, the start being the first candy sale of the year. More sales!!! This time a Dagwood specialty sale given by the proud au- thors of this book. The day looked forward to for ages -the day that the new wing of the school is open for use Cat least, the upstairsj. Democrat's Thanksgiving. Life in Canada, as a Guide, the sub- ject of an interesting talk given by Ben Ferrier to the assembly. Redbirds defeat alumni in first basket- ball game of the season. To be a Republican is nice now, for the vacation that would have been over last week, is just starting. Page Twenty-seven

Winter . . . When looping basketbails hold cheering sections in suspense . . . Season of snowsuits, mittens, and earmuffs . . . When outdoor cutter-uppers spend their time skating, skiing, or dodging snowballs . . . Time of excess cramming for one of the most impor- tant weeks of the school year, semester exam Week. iif i' V f I X Page Twenty-nine
