C. Wagner as he mounted the podium. Since that first day of sour notes the band progressed until it entered its first musical contest at Merrill. The band and all solo and ensemble groups came home with first place. May 1939 At the second contest held at Wausau, the band again came home with high honors. May 1940: The band and some solos again took first place at Rhinelander. May 1941 The band took first place in concert, sight reading, and marching at Medford. This year, the band which should rightfully be judged as a class D band, en- tered into class C. May 1942 Again the band went to Medford and took first place in concert and sight read ing, again playing in class C. May 1943 This year, the band entered in class B, and received a second in concert and a first in marching. May 1944 This year the tournament was at Stratford. Again the band came home with another first in concert and marching. This year it is not certain whether there will be a tournament. Plans are being made however, and the band is practicing The Merry Maidenn and Princess of India. If there is a tournament the band feels quite confident that under the capable direction of Mr. A. C. Wagner, it will add another first to its records.

FORENSICS An unusually large number of students took part in forensics this year. The local con- test was held at the village hall on March 15, and the judges decision's were close in every field. The winners were as follows: Extemperaneous Speaking - - - - Douglas Witzeling Extemperaneous Reading - - - - - Nanci Schulz Serious Declamations - - - - - - - - Gayle Baseman Orations -------- - - Bernice Wanke Humurous Declamations ------------- Donna Uekert With the exception of Bernice, the team was made up of last year's veterans, On March 22, the district contest was held at Athens, and we tied with Stratford for the trophy with a total of fourteen points. Doug was the only first place winner, and he will go to Stevens Point, so let's wish him luck, and hope he brings back an A rating there.
