University 22 Wisconsin Extension Course Finding its way into the 'Al-'L2 edition of the Yorthern Trail is another branch of higher learning in LRHS. It is the more or less omitted University Extension Course Class. This class, now going on its third year of organization, was pioneered in the '39 and 'LO term by an enroll- ment of twenty-seven pupils. The following year, twenty-two students took advantage of a less expensive education within its portals and during the present school year, the ranks have dwin- dled somewhat in number to sixteen. Those now attending our Extension Center, however, argue that Uwhat they lack in number, they make up for in abilityln Established for the benefit of those who find it financially impossible to attend other places of learning, the Extension Course also finds merit in the fact that it provides an easy method for bridging the tremendous gap in jumping from high school work to that of the college calibre. Those attending the Center soon find out if they are equipped for the advanced college work and can do so without leaving home. With the school district paying one-half of the tui- tion, the cost, for those located within the district, is cut to as low as 332.50 a semester. Extension Course credits are equivalent to those attained by Freshmen at the University and are transferable to any other college. The instructors are all professors from the University of Wisconsin, with this year's enrollment having classes under Hr. White, History, Lk. Kenny, Geography, Hiss Tilden, Spanish, and Mr. Evers, English. Those elected as class officers are Ed Froelich, President, Marjorie Dolansky, Vice- President, Natalie Eldridge, Secretary, and Melvin Brown, Treasurer.

Eighty-nine completely bewildered Freshman entered Eagle High in that year, now long past, 19383 with nothing but high hopes, limited education, and a pocketfull of ideas to guide them. That first memorable year they chose Virginia Herold as president, Joe Trinka as vice-president, and John Olmstead as secretary-treasurer. The UFroshU were promptly initiated into the more intricate workings of the school and it is to be said of them that were very willing and cooperative ninth graders, bearing the brunt of the upper class- men's jeers with complete indifference. A return dance for the Hmeanyn sophomores was given and it is reported that Weverytkirg wert successfully.H Enterinf SCHOO1 in the fall of 1939, they were amazed to find themselves a step hivher on the educational ladder, no lonper were they green freshmen to be pushed hither and yon, but sophomores, with experience to puiue them. This time they chose as president Rita David, vice-president Robert Flannery, and secretary-treasurer Florence Toney. They had now attained the sinrular distinction of presentinp a one-act play which was entitled UTnanks Awfully.H The more talented membe' of the little group partici- pated and wholly enjoyed it. With slightly lacking feet this time, having attained a little more experience and losing a little of their Hyounp ideasn the Junior entered Eagle High again in l9LO as definitely ranking upper-classmen. They chose for their guiding lights and helpinp hands, Bill Sparks as president, Lewis Zimpelmann as vice-president, Joe Trinka as Secretary, and Nora Nesbitt as treasurer. The entire school year was spiced throurhout by their many and varied undertakings. The Junior Class play, HThe Great Ben Allah,H was one of the most outstanding of their worthy accomplishments. The school year was closed with their stupendous original version of the annual Junior Prom. The Spanish Fiesta street scene was wholly successful in drawing a sizeable crowd of Usweet young things.U September, l9L,l, saw the Seniors resume ,their pursuit of knowledge in Eagle River High. This time they were all fully confident, Uworldly wisen, and well-schooled in the proper Senior procedure for the so long glorified events to come. The Senior Glass play again received the customary laurels, NDon't Keep Him Nhitingn ranking among' the most worthy of our accomplishments of the four years. Q x .gig

Dave urges Betty to marry him, and leave for South America, where his new job is taking him. But Betty won't run out on her family, and shortly she has a fight with Dave, and breaks off their engagement. Then Betty begins to get a new slant on her family. They all have bought birthday presents for her, and they have all charged them to her account! Also, Toodles wants a new scooter, Jeff wants an expensive new camera, and Aunt Selina wants some new clothes. Betty decides to give them a dose of their own medicine, and bolts off to buy new clothes, which she charges to th ml The Rambles hardly know what to do when they see Betty Looking very chic in new clothes, and behaving as frivolously as the rest of them. In a photographic contest, Jeff is offered an award which does not rightfully belong to hing and he accepts it. Betty and even loyal Jinny, who adores Jeff turn from him, and when Jeff later tries to tell them that he has refused the award, none of them will look at the news item that proves his honesty. When Jinny and Betty discover what Jeff had done, they try to find him to apologize, but Jeff is gone, and they fear he may have run away. To add to Betty's perturbation, blonde Sally Lou, who has been flirting with Jeff, now sets her cap for Dave, and it looks as if Dave is falling for her. But the complications all clear up for a finale that combines laughter and excitement in a way to captivate everyone, The cast is fine: Pretty Betty, handsome Dave, teen-age Jeff and Jinnyg Toodles, who goes about munching bananas in the hope they'll make her slim enough to captivate the drawling, indifferent Chester, impractical Dad, superstitious Aunt Selina, the pair of charmers, Sally Lou and the giggling Minerva, and the fussy Mr. Atkins, who thinks he's going to be Wshot.n A gorgeous comedy full of fun frivolity, and excitement. -
