The philosophy of lliis estimable class is most aptly presented in a statement made by Alberta Lackey, the class historian, when she said: A decade and two years ago, our mothers sent fortli to this campus a new class, protesting and arguing, but resigned to the. proposition that school is compulsory. Since then wo have been engaged in a great battlr, testing whether our class, or any class, so constructed and so instructed can long endure. We arc met on the graduation of that class. Wc arc conic to graduate i portion of that class as a final tribute to those who gave their knowledge that wc mil In learn. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense wc cannot graduatc-we cannot advocate wc cannot procrastinate-wc must pay that final tribute. The brave teachers, intelligent and undcr-standing, who struggled here have sacrificed far above our power to appreciate. The world will little note nor long remember what wc say here, but can never forget what wc did here. It is for us, the graduates, rather, to carry on the unfinished work which ihey who taught here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is for us to turn to the great task remaining before ns—that from these honored professors wc take increased devotions to that cause for which Jhey gave the last full measure of fidelity: That we here highly resolve that these mentors shall not have taught in vain: That ihis class of 'll shall have a change of heart, 0 that the public education of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

ShrUlon JUNIORS Here you sec before you the merry faces of i he Junior class, those super-brainy in-d viduals known over the entire school for their wiseness. This class has always believed in the saying— United we Stand. Divided we Fall. and so they have united. That seems to have bsen one characteristic of them throughout school, in 4th and .‘itlt grades during recess, they always played together as a group instead of pairing off. When they became Freshmen they lived up to their name to perfection: they were both ‘'green” and “fresh . As sophomores they were known as Wise Fools” because they thought they knew it all. But now that they are Juniors and do not realize it. they don't quite live up to this, or so the teachers say. Could it he that wc Juniors have never out-grown our annoying little pranks and prattles? Will we hear The Same Old Story when we have attained at last the crowning heights of knowledge ami been christened Seniors? Alas! There was a great -tir in the class when it came time to choose a Prom King. However. the final vote saw that our king was none other than Rocko .ScheurclI, that wo-meu-hatingest of all woman haters—? This merry little lad with the tliop of unruly curl-, which would do justice to a Russian Cossack, has managed to BARB us from guessing who will he the possessor of that FKKBulous title—Prom Queen. Will leave you now until next year when wc all hope to he smiling at you from the cvcrcovetcd pages of the S nior Gass. Secretary. J. Watts President, J ScheurclI J. MacDonald.

Kay Murphy a secretary, Clarence Daly as Treasurer and Betty Mearns as Delegate-at-large they present a most intelligent group of students. Vague memories of their grade school dav come hack to them nmv as they spend their sophomore year in Senior High, where study hall clowns frolic, and teachers grow many a grev hair trying to teach the already learned. The members of the class take great pride in their classmate Betty Mearns. who is now the drum major of the hand. Also, they arc proud of the splendid work their representatives, on the basketball team. Red York. Jim Watts, and Elden Reed, have done. So now as they near the end of this very eventful year, they arc looking with eagerness and expectation toward next fall, when they will be sitting in the middle rows of the main room.

This band of kids increased to 68, 20 coming from the surrounding regions, adding a lot of color to the class of Ml. Our class officers who were chosen in the fall of the last round-up in Junior High consist of: President—Bob H. Hauffc, Vice-president—Genevieve Mittlestacdt, Secretary John Buckles. Treasurer—Earl Cook, and Delegate at Large—Judy Prcgenzcr. Everyone, including quite a few members of the male sex (AHEM!) grieved at losing Genevieve Mittlestacdt. She docs come home quite a bit. though, and so------. But. she's a swell girl and wc were sorry to lose her. Two new members. Josephine Pctkoff and Boh Sanford joined us this year. Josephine came from Lake Geneva, one of our rivals, in basketball, and already seems to have made a place for herself in our class. Bob came from somewhere in Illinois—I’m not sure where—Oh. yes, in Aldcn. and he like Josephine has nude quite a place tor himslf. Well, here we arc at the end of our first year in high school. Woe is us! Only 3 more to go!!! Pint Row; I . « H Ripley, D Homan, M. Ivniu...-. .1 iVvin, I Barth K. Pioley. J. Mol-nuuhlin, H. Hyll(b«(Vt W, Bruitfiiil, S Kamtui. II. K ' null, J.

Oh! those first history marks. As their guide, they chose a bright faced lad named Freddy Schranz. They were kept very busy learning history, arithmetic, English, ami science. Before they realized it. the year had slipped away very rapidly. True, they kept a fairly steady schedule all the year, hut to break the monotony they enjoyed sever 1 basketball games, school dances, movies and interesting talks. Several made their first appearance in Gjee Club ami A Cappclla choir Howard. Jimmy, and Jackie were chosen cheerleaders from the class. They seemed to have a lot of fun t o. Several new boys and girls entered their midst this year and seemed to he pleased. After completing this year, these same eighth graders will hr freshmen in High School. They hope to he a peaceful group and, under the guidance of a good chief, go far in the history of Dclavan High. Row I: V. Nrilmin. K. Morriiwon, C. Implccinf, D. Amb nu n, C. McOorJ, C. CurUn, M.

Kltxman SEVENTH GRADE The last day of our sixth year, we were just visitors stiff with fright. We paraded through the halls with thoughts about “The Big Room Were we going to like it? Was it difficult having so many teachers? The seventh graders, to be. were being teased lure and there, while the teachers were thinking how different they were. Miss McCrossin sent thirty-six of her pupils into Junior High. From another room twelve of Miss Reques pupils filed in. Most all of us carried white slips of paper on which was written our schedule for the coming year As we looked upon it. it seemed rather complicated but today we could march from class to class in our sleep with our heads held high. Social science, science, arithmetic, F.nglish, gym. home economics, manual arts, music, study, and home room were listed. When school began in the fall, we started to work finding that the main room was much different from what we were told it would be. We passed from class to class in daily routine. Nothing happened until Miss Wold began Science Club and the girls of the seventh grade started cheering, for the boys really excelled when they defeated the eighth grade twice. Maybe the seventh grade of 1940-41 can turn out some st3r players in basketball and football. And so the year passed by with both the good and the bad things happening: passing or failing tests, reading books, writing essays, and the usual things which appear in the school life. The seventh graders who were once sixth graders are working hard for the eighth grade honors and the chance of becoming better students of the Delavan Junior High. OUR TEACHERS 1.

Delavan High School organized a school paper entirely on it own and apart from any other local publication. This was accomplished with the work of our new speech teacher Mr. Nus. who managed to interest a few “supposed to be brainy individuals in both the Junior and Senior High School. The staff was organized and work began immediately. The paper was named the Delavan Echo and since it- first publication has increased in volume, skill and— er-price. Lyle Olson is the editor. A special bit of credit is due those members of the staff who gave a double duty, that of preparing the paper in add tion to their respective assignments. Most of the typists arc staff members and inclnd •. Lyle Olson. Joanne Hansen. Carol Atwood. Janet MeCommons. Evelyn McKinney, Du Wayne Sheldon, and Caroline Dcckcrt. Wc give thanks to Mr. Xus for his help, and to all who have helped to make this paper possible, including all you kind souls who have patronized the Echo. Wc hope you have enjoyed it and will continue to do so next year. THE SAFETY SQUAD Row 1: D. Homan. D. Doherty, C. Sowlrr. R Hirt . B. Gallup. C. Spencer, A. Freitas, B. Hylleberr. F. Chipper.

It is named for the number which made it famous—Tiger Hag, though there may he nore personal reasons. To become a Wildcat you must fulfill two requirements: you must he a male, and you must leave little to be desired as a musician. (This explains why Wildcats arc so rare.) Their main activities are: playing at pep meets, and basketball games, and disturbing any one within two blocks, when they practice. Row I: Row 2: O. Muclfr. Bhrrtxr. O And.rvii. A Rie l� Crvwrmn J.

Most people, unless they have had experience in this, think of the gruesome amount of work in debating, plus the horrifying thought of speaking for ten minutes. Debat -rs will not deny that there i a certain amount of work, hut the fun of debating makes up for it As for speaking, any debater will tell you that speaking provides a good argument and those arguments can get warm. This season the question up for debate was; Resolved: That the Power of the DEBATE Federal Government Should Me Increased.’' 1'his was a good debatable question with sides quite evenly divided. In our debates we met several of the surrounding teams ami entered a few tournaments. a few of them being Whitewater. Rockford, and Watertown. In all of our debates. Negative or Affirmative, first or second team, we slid our best. We of the debate teams fed that as a whole we have profited by the season, and had a grand time. Fir� t Row: K Lind.

Margaret Pacolt The Commercial Club meets the first Tuesday of each month, in the shorthand room, and the meetings are carried on in a business-like manner. Business problems are discussed and plays are sometimes put on to bring out the character traits which people in business should possess. One play, “Prospects, brought out good and poor salesmanship. Another play, “The (iojdcn Hand.” brought out the qualities which a stenographer should have. The Club has bad several social func-t'ons this year including a Halloween party and a Christmas party. Another party is also being planned for May. In order to earn some money, the Club had a candy sale, and held a “Sunset Dance . All the members of the Club have enjoyed it very much. The members have learned many valuable things and had lots of fun doing it. BOYS QUARTETTE If you happen to be walking past the music room on any Tuesday after school and hear something floating out of the window (if it isn't a member) it's the Boys Quartette doing their weekly bit of harmonizing. This year for the first time in several years, a boys quartette was formed under the direction of Miss Perry. The four: Jim Burt, second bass; Marshall Jacobs, first bass; Jack Stariu. second tenor, and Lyle Olson, first tenor.

Mr. Nus finally succeeded in picking a cast of 17 to produce the play, which in a nation-wide poll was voted the most popular high school play of IlHO-ll. The play proved very popular, because nearly everyone is familiar with the story of Henry Aldrich, the central character of the play.

I Mueller Tackle Co-Captair Gres� mi i� end WEBB SCHULTZ Co-Captain Burt Tackle Webb Schultz was born at Wau toma, Wisconsin, and there he attended grade and high school, graduating with high honors in athletics. After graduating from High School he attended Hilton College in lIn- Freshman year. There lie was again active in athletics, playing in the line on the varsity football team (unusual for a Freshman), and playing guard on the varsity baskctbaU team. fter one year at Ripon, he left for l.a Crosse State Teachers' College. While at I.aCrosse. he played the posh ion of pitcher on the baseball team in addition to playing guard on the basketball team and tackle in football. To improve financial conditions, be played with the Nelson Gub, a well-known baseball club of I.aCrosse. In the spring of his first year at I.aCrosse, he went with the Milwaukee Brewers iu spring training. At graduating from I aCrosse in 1922. he received his Physical F.ducation Diploma. After Webb came to Dclavan. he rcturnd to Ripon to get his degree. After three years at I.aCrosse. Webb received a position as coach and physical education instructor at the high school in Norway. Michigan. During the year that lie was there the football team had a very successful season, winning 0 and losing 2 games. Much to the joy of the school, the basketball team participated in its first tournament, because it had won 13 and lost 2 games. It was here that he met the teacher who later became Mrs. Schultz. Jacob Center C’Nein Full Mack And so it was with a good record in athletics in college (a three-sport athlete at both colleges), and with a very successful first season of coach ing behind him. that he accepted a position at Houghton, Michigan. He was very well-liked at Houghton, too. and again had tournament teams in basketball bo?h years that he was there. The first year the team won second place at the tournament, and the second year carried oft the high honors. A Houghton paper said of his coaching. Ife had splendid success. Houghton's baseball team had an enviable record both years that Webb coached them. Moth years they were the champions of the Copper County. gain playing professional, he played with the Copper Sox. a very outstanding team in that section of the country. Ferber Quarter Back Another Houghton newspaper says of his work on the team, He has been one of the most dependable twirlers in the upper peuusula during the past three years.” It was just after his marriage to Mrs. Schultz that Webb had what perhaps was the biggest thrill and most exciting experience in his life, pitching for the Chicago W hite Sox against Philadelphia, lie was offered a position with the White Sox, and was to he farmed-out at Beaumont, Texas, but because of the uncertainty of a baseball career, he declined, and resumed his second year of coaching at Houghton. Webb, we are certainly glad that you decided to make coaching your life work. It was with great sadness that the Houghton High School accepted his resignation to come to Delavan, in 19 5. On ugust 8. 1925, he came to Hi la van, and has been here since that memorable day. It is Webb Schultz who has built tip the champion teams from the rugged stock, and made real sportsmen out of the boys of good old D. H. S. in past years and present, and will for years yet to come. Webb,We are proud of you. Rice Jordan McSorley End End Half-back FOOTBALL Row i: S Stirfinits, J W t.. B. Co k J Kalins. I� . C� ' !.. DrCroff. C. Clark. J Starin. J H � | klna. Row 2: P. WIIHamvo.

It was evident, as in football, that Coach Schultz would have to build a completely new team, using the four letter-men. one regular, and three reserves from the previous season, as a nucleus. After th • first week of practice, it was prophesied that the Comets would again fill the win column A series of practice games proved the mettle and powers of the team. In a short time the local fans felt that Delavan Would be a strong contender for the Southern State Conference Championship. DELAVAN (88) -..RACINE HORI.ICK (29) The first scheduled game of the season proved a heartbreaker. as the Comets lost by a narrow margin of one point. DELAVAN (42) ........

In HMO, aitcr 14 years of sUSpcndnl aniim-t on. baseball wa% revived in Delavan High School. Many youthful aspirants turned out for practice. After a week, the squad was trimmed down to a working unit of about 20. It proved that the interest in basvhall was there. The Comets had a rather small schedule, because baseball was in an experimental stage, but Coach Webb Schultz hopes to maintain a larger schedule in 1941. DEI-WAN (21) ......... LAKE MILLS (l) The Comets flashed to an easy 2! to l victory over Lake Mills in the first game at Delavan. The game was marked with many errors on the part of Lake M ils, the chief reason for the lopsided score. This game proved that the Comets had potentialities as baseball players. DELAVAN (7) —........... ELK HORN (5) For years Elkhorn had been dominating high school baseball in Southern Wisconsin and had expected an easy victory over the Comets, hut the Comets wouldn't he denied and they came through for their second straight victory of the season. DELAVAN (2oi ........ WHITEWATER (1) After I heir victory over Elkhorn many of the people in this section thought it was a mistake, but the Comets proved otherwise by decisively demolishing Whitewater 20-1. DELAVAN (9) ..................... ELKHORN (0) DELAVAN (10) ............. WHITEWATER (I) This was the only double h-adcr of the season and a large Memorial Day crowd turned out to see it. Delavan defeated Elkhorn in the first game of this twin hill 9-0. with Jordan pitching the best game of the year, allowing the opposing sluggers 1 hit. a lone single in the fifth. In the second game of the twin hill, D Anderson and W. Beyritz collaborated on the mound to hold the Whitewater sluggers to a scratch single and one run. while the Comets were collecting 10 runs. These victories ended the Comets' 1910 undefeated season. Reasons for our succcstul season may be summed up as follows: 1. Outstanding fielding by all members of the team. 2. Exceptionally high hatting average for the team as a whole. 3. Effective pitching at all times. 4. Team spirit and cooperation shown by the players in practice as well as in the games.

Delavan has established one of the best basketball records in the state of Wisconsin. In this period. Delavan has won a grand total of two hundred fourteen games, while losing only seventy. Since the organization of the Southern State League in the fall of 1928. Delavan has won four championships, two co-championships, and has never finished below second place. Delavan achieved recognition in 1933 by winning consolation in the district tournament at White- water T .e following year proved to be even a greater success, a. Delavan won her first district title by decisively demolishing all oppos tlon at the Whitewater district tournament. Little did we realize at the time ihnt this victory was only the first of a string of successive titles which carried Delavan through the year 1940 All previous state records were shattered when Delavan won her twenty-third consecutive tournament game and her seventh consecutive district title by defeating Stoughton in the 1940 regional tournament at Lake Mills. The second game of t e 1941 regional tournament ended in defeat as Delavan bowed to a powerful Beloit quintet. Thus, with a standing record of twenty-four consecutive victories. Dela-vnn hurl.-: her challenge throughout the state, to any high school team, to equal or surpass this tccord. Delavan made her first appearance at the state tournament in 1934 Practically unknown at the time, and facing the strongest competition in the state, site went on to grab consolation honors. Again in 1935 Delavan entered the state tournament. but was eliminated by Mayvllle In the second game. Delavan's presence was now being taken simply as a matter of course as she entered the 1936 state tournament for the third successive time. Tills tournament netted Delavan second place consolation. An absence of two years followed. but in 1939 Delavan again entered the tournament for the fourth time in six years. All her efforts proved in vain as she again lost her second game and therefore was eliminated. Breaking Into the headlines again by entering the 1940 state tournament. Delavan went of! to take second place consolation. This was the fifth time in seven years that Delavan entered the state tournament, and during this time she has been consolation champion and second place consolation winner twice. With a record such as this, we have every reason to feel proud, and credit should not only be extended to the players, but to coach Webb Schultz who has been our athletic mentor through these years of triumph.
