NAMED for Miss Florence Child, who purchased the site at a cost of 55,200 and gave 548,000 for the building itself, Child High School was planned by Leenhouts and Guthrie, School architects, Milwaukee, and opened for occupancy in September, 1909. Until that time the possibility of a new high school had seemed remote, for, although the small build- ing on the present grade building site was inadequate to house all classes, there was much indecision over whether to build a centrally-located build- ing or ward schools in various parts of Edgerton. Miss Child lived to see the building occupied and the wisdom of her gift made entirely evident. A condition of her gift was that the school building should serve as a community center, and, with no other suitable gathering-place available, the high school has already been used freely by civic and fraternal groups. The high school building was appraised at 588,700 in January 1933, and the furnishings and equipment at 530,000 Since the Class of 1937 entered, outstanding improvements in the building have been the provi- sion of an auditorium stage and of sound correction ceilings for some first Door rooms, equipment of science laboratories and the industrial arts shop, and additions to the library. ,.,. china High School . . assembly scene . . until February the domain of Miss Bussey .

Schools engag- ing in the educational process must constantly adjust and revise their courses of study and curricula to meet the new and changing problems of an increasingly complex social and economic order. No longer selective, to- day's schools must provide education appropriate to the ideals of democracy for all children up the college level. The Edgerton Board of Education and teaching staff, working co-oper- atively, have been alert to these problems. Over a period of several years they have carefully and studiously worked out changes and adjustments in both emphasis and content in an endeavor to attain definite goals. This school year witnessed the realization of a large segment of the new pro- gram. Most far-reaching was the introduction of the popular, federally- sponsored courses in agriculture and home-making. Music, including band and orchestra, has been given new impetus with dual leadership. To be true to its responsibilities, education must continue to meet new challenges. The school pledges the graduating seniors that it will en- deavor to keep step with the realities of life and to equip oncoming classes to face new conditions as they arise We salute the members of the Class of 1937, congratulate them on their still better Crimson, and wish them all possible success.

W. DOTY MRS. G. 0. JENSON AUGUST RATZLAFF B06l'd of Education D. C. GILE DR. F. W. SOUTHWORTH M EETING the third Friday in every month, the Board of Education deter- mines the policies which are to be followed in the administration of the schools, legis- lates on matters concerning school property, and plans for needed revision and expansion in personnel, subject matter, and materials. Its officers are D. C. Gile, president, Dr. F. W. Southworth, clerk, and G. W. Doty, treas- urer. Much of its work is done by com- mittees, which are as follows: finance and purchases, August Ratzlaff, Dr. F. W. South- worth, and G. W. Dotyg teachers, Mrs. G. O. Jenson and Dr. F. W. Southworth, and build- ings and grounds, Glen Price and Nels Nelson. Arnold Gessert was elected to the Board in April to fill the unexpired term of Glen Price, who resigned to become high school custodian. The Board of Education has considered each year's problems with an entire lack of self-interest, thinking solely in terms of the welfare of the children for whom the schools are maintained. Its members have co-oper- ated whole-heartedly with the faculty in the administration of the schools. On behalf of the student body, the Senior Class extends to the Board members appreciation for their whole-hearted and unstinting contribution to the life of the community.

In size and in style of binding the Crimson this year is identical with that of last, but there is more variety this year in page lay-outs, and a greater number of pictures has been used. Betty Aalseth, editor, Vernon Houge, business manager: and Luella Schumaker, senior editor, attended the Wisconsin Iligh School Editors' conference at Madison in November, and studied the contents of yearbooks and possible methods of production. In their work this year, members of the staff profited from examining other annuals and adopting some of their best features, much help was also received from the criticisms of last year's Crimson which were received from the National Scholastic Press Association at the time that organization awarded the 1936 yearbook first class honor rating in a national competition for schools the size of Edger- ton High School. financial concerns . . . . making up the dummy -J -J 9 mv, J.

Houge DEFINITE improvements in the Tatler this year can be attributed largely to the benefits derived from the attendance of six staff repre- sentatives at the Wisconsin High School Editors' Conference at Madison Thanksgiving week-end. Muriel North, Evelyn Sherman, William Solien. Iluth Gumble, Henry Ebbott, and Gordon Boyd were present at the two-day convention and covered all the sessions dealing with the problem of pub- lishing a school newspaper. Their expenses were paid in part by the Tatler. Returning from the convention dissatisfied in several respects with the Tatler, the delegates had definite ideas as to what changes should be made, and the changes attempted as experiments were recognized as im- provements and retained throughout the year. The make-up or page ar- rangement was changedg the type used in the body of the paper was changed, resulting in greater legibilityg sports coverage and writing were advanced in quality through the interest of convention delegates and sports editors. Ideas for feature stories were obtained in abundance, and this yelar an earnest attempt was made to bring in the names of all students in sc ool. The staff was very ambitious this year to put out a paper which should be free from errors in grammatical construction, syllabication, and spell- ing of names. Typists and editors laboriously counted out every typed line to obtain a pleasing effect of orderly columns when the paper was fin- ished. On several occasions staff members showed their ability to do cred- itable work without help from the advisor.

Geise, R. Clark, H. Ebbott, E. UNDER the direction of Miss Hulbert, the Boys' Glee Club this year had an increased membership and much talent. With the other choral organizations in the school, the club participated in Christmas caroling in the halls a few days before Christmas and at many homes following the Christmas operetta. The club also had a part in the spring music concert and in the Commencement program. Several club members comprise the Boys' Octet, a group which enter- tained at a program at Busseyville, at the Firemen's ball, and in a broad- cast over WCLO, Janesville. These groups had their representatives in Mixed Chorus, a group in- cluding both boys' and girls' voices. Annually the high school operetta draws its talent from the choral music organizations, and regular practices of the Glee Clubs are suspended during operetta rehearsals. Boys' Glee Club is suffering a heavy loss through graduation this year, and a special effort will be made next fall to draw into the organiza- tion Freshmen and Sophomores with good voices and an interest in singing.

Regular meetings with basketball practice were held Thursday nights. OLLOWING a study of systems used in various other schools, a Student Council was organized this year under the leadership of Mr. Bloss. The aims of the organization have been the reorganizing of the extra-cur- ricular program, the bolstering of school spirit, and the building up of an increasingly friendly spirit between students and faculty. When a new seven-period program was being discussed by the faculty to replace the six and a half period day, the Student Council contacted activity heads and helped to plan a schedule for organization meetings during the new fifty-minute activity period.

The Boy-Girl party with its winter sports motif, the Father-Daughter banquet, and the Mother- Daughter tea were all successful social affairs. The club had a large mem- bership which participated in the discussion of everyday social problems at the regular meetings.

'17 I'-F LOSING only three seniors from its membership of 48 students, the band is looking forward to continuing next year the steady progress which has been made since Maurice Boyd, instructor in instrumental music, became a faculty member last September. Mr. Boyd took over the work of Frank Burdick, who-had been teaching on a part-time basis and had organized and directed the band. Smart new uniforms were acquired this spring through the efforts of band members and the Band Mothers' Club, instrumentation was improved, and several concerts were given dur- ing the year. 'I'WENTY-THREE students constitute the school orchestra, which limits itself to concert music, while the band plans to march and play for foot- ball games next year. Band and orchestra members held regular rehear- sals during activity periods this year, and were given credit toward grad- uation on the basis of Mr. Boyd's recommendation. -1s'- .-...

However, although his boys lacked weight and experience, Coach Wergin built up a team which was outclassed only by Fort Atkinson and Stoughton. Results of other games, the majority of which were lost by close scores, were as follows: Alumni ,..,,., -. 6 Edgerton - ---- 0 Lake Mills ...... -- 6 Edgerton - ---. 2 Wisconsin High .... -- 6 Edgerton - ---- 0 Watertown ...... .... 1 2 Edgerton , .... 0 Evansville --- -. 7 Edgerton . --- 6 Monroe ..................... 18 Edgerton .................... 0 Fort Atkinson's powerful aggregation won the Southern Six confer- ence championship, with Coach Wergin's luckless lightweights occupying the cellar position. The stand-out player of the season was Dan Pierce, a hard-hitting, ground-gaining fullback. Lettermen lost by graduation are Captain James Wilcox, Elgen Fay, Daniel Pierce, Cleon Enger, Paul Goede, Robert Stickert, Dick Tierney, David Rubitsky, and Sanford Plautz. Returning lettermen who make next year's prospects look bright are Love, Shearer, Davis, Burdick, Anderson, Weiss, Natter, Lipke, Bartz, and Fosheim.

Love AN EXPANDED boxing program was carried on at Child High School this year, and was especially important in that its receipts paid off losses in other major sports, thus saving the financial situation in the ath- letic department. A new ring was built, there was a large turn-out for the sport, and townspeople gave enthusiastic support. The high point of the season was reached when two evenings of bouts were held April 14 and 16, culminating in the choice of Harry Rubitsky and Gilman Fosheim as the school's fi-ghtin'est fighters. Rubitsky received the original trophy donated by the Wisconsin Tobacco Reporter, and a du- plicate was awarded by the school athletic department to Fosheim, who lost the original by the toss of a coin. Before an enthusiastic crowd that filled the gymnasium April 16, nine championship bouts were fought. The standout bout of the evening was that of Fosheim vs. Rubitsky. Both boys gave and took many good blows with Fosheim winning the decision. Donald Hepburn won a close decision over rugged Robert Stickert. In the heavyweight division Harry Zaborek won over Ted Davis. Other boys who also won their bouts were Warren Stricker, Willie Brandt, Howard Nelson, Harold Sommervold, John McGin- nity, Paul Maves, and Dan Pierce. Boxers were trained by Coach Wergin, with the gymnasium given over to this sport during activity periods while the season lasted. As the Crimson went to press there was a distinct possibility of interscholastic boxing matches being scheduled for late April. Boxing PAK I-I THIRTY-FOUR Baseball AGE THIRTY-FIVE H.

It is expected that this league will be expanded by next year. Stoughton was the top-heavy favorite in the league, with Edgerton considered the dark horse. Brodhead and Evansville were other league members. Although the first game, one with Evansville, had not been played when the Crimson went to press, spring training had begun and Coach Wergin had named 12 outstanding candidates for positions on the first team. They were Clarence Baukin, Franklin Bartz, Gilman Fosheim, Robert McGinnity, Elmer Odenwalder, Dick Tierney, La Verne Natter, David Love, Malcolm Jenson, Elver Kittleson, George N ettum, and Robert Kersten. Coach Wergin hoped to develop a Sophomore infield with the Seniors holding down the outfield positions. Tierney and Bartz were expected to work on the mound with Baukin doing the catching: .1 44 M.

Hinkle CAPTAINED by Wanda Elsing, the senior girls won the class basket- ball championship in the tournament held during January and Feb- ruary. These same girls have constituted the championship team for three consecutive years. Other captains this year were Berneice Quigley, juniors, Carole Davis, sophomoresg and Ruth Woerth, freshmen. During October and November, girls spent hours after school playing soccer, which was organized by Muriel North. Kittenball was the most popular sport in the spring, with Evelyn Jacobson as its head. Girls received points toward their school emblems by going on hikes during the spring and fall. Points are also given to G.A.A. members for hours spent in outdoor sports not organized by the school. Groups of about twenty-five girls made trips to Janesville in the fall for swimming in the Y.M.C.A. pool. The large E, the highest award given to girls in recognition of their leadership in sports, was awarded to Luella Schumaker, Wanda Elsing, Muriel North, Maxine Krueger, Marjorie Henry, Martha Jane Donstad, Evelyn Jacobson, Gladys Hinkle and Alice McIntyre, seniors, at the G.A.A. banquet in May.

Herbert Kalness, played by Daniel Pierce, scorned any social for- mality and underestimated the value of a college education, things which meant much to his wife, daughter, and son, whose roles were taken by Bernadine Hatzlaff, Luella Schumaker, and Willard Babcock. James Wil- cox played opposite Luella Schumaker to supply the love interest. The cast of twelve seniors and one underclassman delighted the audience with a portrayal of the sufferings of Herbert's family and their successful at- tempt to reform him by giving him a strong dose of his own medicine and boasting of their simple customs when he brought important business friends home to dinner. Six weeks of work preceded the presentation of the play, an act a week being assigned for memorization after the cast was announced.

Hartsei A RANCH HOUSE and a refreshment stand against a background of pine trees and mountains created the tourist camp setting for Jerry of Jericho Road, the two-act operetta by Clark and Clark, given March 19 by the high school music department under the direction of Miss Hul- bert. Maurice O. Boyd provided the accompaniment. Jeanne Wescott played the leading role of Jerry, who ran away from home after an unpleasant encounter with traffic authorities and took refuge in a tourist camp, where she was given charge of the refreshment stand. Her love for John Drayton, acted by James Wilcox, was nearly de- stroyed because she believed him to be involved in a scheme to outwit her nnancially, but, as an operetta demands, all misunderstandings were cleared away before the curtain fell. Playing the second pair of lovers, Margaret Dickerson and Franklyn Ceske found their love complicated by the former's interfering mother. Comic roles were taken by William Solien, Eva Hartsel, Kenneth Palmer, Nancy Smart, George Wileman, and Gordon Boyd.

From a platform between palm trees, Johnny Kurtz and his eleven-piece orchestra furnished music for dancing. Having the banquet and Prom the same night is something new for this school, but these were the arrangements this year. Dinner was served at six o'clock with Ruth Ann Pringle acting as the toastmistress, and Kurtz's music was enjoyed all through the meal. The waitresses were dressed in keeping with the theme, and Miss Clark demonstrated her effi- ciency in serving an excellent dinner to the 150 guests. Tables were cleared away for dancing, which began promptly at nine o'cl0ck. Mr. Hood, class advisor, Miss Stafford, art instructor, and David Blanchard, Junior Class president, spent many hours planning and work- ing on the Prom to make the evening one worth remembering. weighty problem- 'decorations . . . their majesties .

This performance was under the direction of Miss Loraine Friedl, girls' director of sports, and Mr. Joseph P. Wergin, boys' director and athletic coach. The program began effectively with approximately 170 blue-clad girls performing an intricate grand march to the music of Mr. Boyd's band. This was followed by games and dances by the lower grade children, who were all in costume. Mr. Wergin's rope-jumpers and Miss Friedl's tumblers added greatly to the interest of the program. Other highlights were Way Back When by the fifth gradeg folk dancing by the smaller childreng and, finally, the singing of The Star-Spangled Banner by the audience as the American flag was raised slowly in a beam of light to the top of the gym. An audience that thronged the halls and even filled the stairways learned much from the demonstration about the physical education work done in all twelve grades of the Edgerton schools. . . when the lights went down . .

The two teams fBer- nadine Ratzlaff, Clara Dawe, and George Wileman, affirmativeg and Mar- garet Dickerson, David Blanchard, and Daniel Pierce, negativeb ranked in the middle division by winning two debates and losing two. A great deal of interest was shown in forensic work this year. Under Director Hamburg, coaching was done by Miss Olsen, Miss Mitchell, and Miss Skowlund. Edgerton may well be proud of her representation this year. Five persons were sent to the league conference at Stoughton to compete with much larger schools and received one first and two second places. Veronica Byrne took first place in serious declamation, Myrtle Kaare received second place in humorous declamation, and Muriel North placed second in extemporaneous reading.

The officers elected were Robert Clark, John Cruse, Robert Hippe, George Nettum, and Einar Holman. Heading the events of the year was the Father-Son banquet which was held November 17 in the gymnasium. Robert Clark acted as toast- master, and Professor J. A. James, of the university College of Agricul- ture, was the speaker of the evening. Initiation of 32 members of the organization into the Green Hand degree took place on January 13 with Professor James presiding. A weed, seed, and grain identification contest in which 39 rural schools participated took place in the gym on April 9. Traveling trophies were do- nated by the Edgerton business men and will become permanent posses- sions of any school winning them three times.

Sammy Plautz certainly made the baskets. I guess June has him, though. MARCH 3-Hugo Brandt gave us a keen lyceunx. He played the Bee for Dick Tier- ney. Cuthbert wanted to request Truckin' but didn't dare. MARCH 5-Homecoming at Stoton and we came through with another moral vic- tory. l 'fl Some of the senior boys up there make me wish l'd never known a certain Edgerton boy.

VVhy didn't I go to school there? APRIL I2- C boxed tonight and almost got killed. At least he won't have to be in the finals Thursday night. HAY 7-Whew-what a night. I should have known better than to go to Prom with Cuthbert. To start things off, at the banquet he spilled his cocktail all over Minnie and turned his dessert upside down on the floor. Then he got all mixed up in the grand march and numbered the dances wrong on the program. The Prom was swell, though, and the Junior Class deserves a lot of credit. MAY 20-Everyone said Cuthbert and I were both wonderful in the class play tonight. We both played off-stage. There certainly is some talent in our class, though. Even those who played on the stage were exceptionally good. MAY 28-The Crimson came out today, and if Archie is as handsome as he is in his picture, I've been wasting four whole years.
