Hlatcrlmru Often, in tlie busy, happy school days, we are forget fill of the men who devote much of their time and attention to making possible the many benefits given ijs. until our attention is brought sharply to the realization of their value, by their loss. At this time, and in this, our book we remember a man. Mr. S. K. Waterbury, whose kindly interest and generous aid and advice in matters of good schooling greatly helped in establishing mid maintaining the high standards of our institution. He was a friend to the school. His cordial and fair-minded judgments made him. lor many years a valuable member of the Hoard of Education. What was good for the school, was good for the community, and that required the verv best. He was optimistic. No problem 1 was too big to overcome, and when the solution of the problem was for the welfare of the school, it was done. He was a cheerful, and welcome and not infrequent visitor. We think of him with kindly gratitude. He was our friend. The Senior Class of 1920 presents the J , nut us u perfect book. 1ml rather us u sincere effort to give to all interested in Jefferson High School u symbol of our high school life. We have been without experience or the guidance of precedent, but our work has been u pleasure. We heartily appreciate the generous assistance f r o in friends, faculty and students which has contributed so much in making the J possible. : : : : : Arnold ,1. Bienfang Kenneth (1.

A stick carried in the hand for support: or defense by a person walking, hence a support; that which props or upholds. 2. A long piece of wood; a stick; a pole or stjrk used for many purposes. As it is the writer’s purpose and privilege to till this space In will expand the above knot of human intelligence. The readers must take for granted that the thieves who had nerve enough to charge Si.50 for this work of art are walking, so the meaning of do above may be made clear. Now assuming that all Seniors are either walking or dancing at Rees’ we shall continue. Did you ever ask what committee a Senior was on and what he did for the Annual? If you did you noticed that he carried the Staff in his hand for defense and support. After a lengthy juggle with ifs and “ands the said staff carrier would convey to the questioner a sentence to the effect that the staff would do the work if lie did not. Believing that the first definition is expanded to mean that the Seniors depend on the staff for support the writer will pump up definition number two. A staff is a piece of wood used for many purposes. This definition is not absolutely correct. Here is one nearer correct from a Senior's point of view. A staff is composed of several pieces of wood which may be used for any purpose. All in all, the Staff is the Goat. (I might as well admit that I was relying on the Goat’s digestion to get this article into the annual. The Staff on the Inside From the Top Down Just for “Auld Lang Syne'-'’ sake let us compare the Stall' to a glass of 1%. As I said, we start from the top and go down both literally and figuratively. Start with the foam, the Editor-in-Chief. He is a light fluffy fellow that can be blown about and blamed for all the spots on the bar. He is blown off into a corner Jit the start to get to work polishing the floor. Now for the real stuff the Assistant Editors. No use saying what happens to what they represent. As the real stuff they stand out in the staff as somebody although their job is Microscopic. Crawford who represents the first sip is the office dog, lie collects bits of this and that here and there, adds a little color to tin finished product and keeps the Staff in good humor, just as the first sip adds color and good humor to the sipper. Haherman who represents the next swallow is the staff Dreamer. Just as the last swallow makes a man dream about more, so the soft job on the Staff makes her dreamy. She talks and dreams about soft tinted halls and offices, about big orders, about her private staff office, etc., buf sbe always wakes up and finds that she has rubbed most of the whitewash off the drawing room walls. And now the poor Business Manager. He’s the sediment. The drinker leaves him in the glass forgotten, although he has contributed a great deal to the flavor or the Brew. The barkeeper throws him into the dishwater and he is finally fed to the carp. FISH! I’ll say a man is a fish for being a business manager of such an outfit. Well there’s one consolation—he has an assistant. —R. E. P. I’AGE ELEVEN PAGE TWELVE HA'iE THIIITKKN The Faculty Win. (i. Ballentine Edwin W. Webster Lenora Hirkerniann Mrs. W. G. Ballentine Carl J.

Muring the 1910-20 school year these elements were well supplied in JefTer-snn High School by a faculty consisting of thirteen efficient teachers who were well chosen and ably headed by Mr. W. i. Rallentine. The teaching staff was a well balanced organization, and every member was equipped with the proper education and experience to carry on wisely his particular branch of the academic work of the school. Not only was the regular school curriculum ably directed by the faculty members, hut they were the guiding spirits in many of the outside activities of the school as well. At the bottom of every so-called student activity, there was invariably some patient, hard working high school teacher, who was giving much of his time and energy to make that particular project a success. Athletics, music, debate, declamation, oratory, publications, and dramatics were all successful outside activities which required the experienced direction of the faculty. Recause of the fact that this publication has been edited and written almost entirely by the students of the high school, it i- natural that their own importance in school affairs should be very much emphasized. 1 would, therefore, impress upon the minds of our readers in this one small space, the fact that much tribute is due to the 1919-20 faculty for the success of the many inside and outside activities of Jefferson High School.

PAGE TWENTY-TWO JHS The Class of 1920 We of the Class of li 20. believe that we are justified in feeling proud of our four year’s record in Jefferson High School, and our members who have contributed so much to the success of Hie school's many activities. We shall therefore cast modesty to the winds, and do full justice to our own school career. We have, during our stay in Jefferson High, upheld, to the best of our ability, all of its traditions and ideals. We have played the host at many social events, foremost among which was the Junior Prom of 1919. We have been well represented in the athletic organizations of the school, as well as on the side lines. Our class members have been prominent in all of the regular activities of the school such as debating, declamation, oratory, and music. We are also, we believe, safe in laying claim to exceptionally high standards of scholarship, since the records on file in the principal's office show the reports of our classmates to be among the highest. In short, we have done everything possible to further the high standards of the splendid school which we have had the opportunity of attending. Aside from enthusiastic participation in all of the regular school activities, we have done a few new and partially original things. In our Freshman year we imparted some of our greenness to the waters of the fountain. When Sophomores we did our best to make up for the deficiency in the number of upperclassmen in school, due to the World War. While as Juniors we instituted the annual High School Fair. As Seniors we ended our career by publishing the first yearly edition of the “J”. We therefore feel that those who succeed us as members of the student body of Jefferson High School will not at once forget the Class of 1920, and surely we shall always look back with pleasure and pride upon our high school days. —K.

From the first we were watched by the Sophomores wlm hoped to relieve us of our freshness. However, we formed ranks, made definite plans and so evaded our enemies. Our very entrance into school was marked by the breaking of a record, we were the first to successfully escape a ducking in the well known high school fountain. Our ability for establishing new standards had been revealed. In the same year, because of our earnest desire for more of the knowledge, for which the institution is noted. Mr. Ballentine saw lit to establish the period from 1:00 to 1:15 as a study period exclusively. We take the honor of claiming that because of our interest in the school, the other classes have I.... bene- fit ted by the additional time spent at the desk instead of in idle chattering. As Freshmen we furnished much material for all activities. Five men on the football squad and three regulars is a record never equalled in J. H. S. Then, there was basketball, debate, orchestra, declamatory work, high school quartet and glee club in which our class was duly represented. A Sophomores we continued all we had started. We contributed live regulars to the football team, and three regulars and a sub to the basketball team. Again the orchestra and quartet had members from our class and the girls in declamatory work and glee club. The oratorical contest wa won by a Soph, and a member of the class of ’.I was made honor cadet of the school. In all branches of work and activities the class of 1921 was distinctly prominent. As Juniors, the combined forces of the remaining three classe cannot compete with us. The football team w’ith seven Junior regulars and the basketball team with a Junior captain, two other regulars and a sub. shows clearly that the Junior class is the class upon which J. H. S. depends for a good representation in Athletics. The orchestra is 50 percent Junior, and we are represented in the quartet. The Junior girls constitute a large part of the Glee Club, and the debate teams required the service of three from our ranks. It is the class of 1921 that accomplishes and excels. We have yet another year in which to display the spirit of our class. We will strive for greater achievements, that the class of 1921 will not be forgotten. B M. H. CAGE r M T SIX OH 51 History of the Junior Class The Junior class of Jefferson High Has a history which attracts the eye. Twelve years ago each latl and lass Tripped to school and formed our class. From the farms they came, from the vale and hill. From neighboring towns our ranks to 111). Some started on the east side, some on the west. Endeavoring to pass the routine test. I.ittle we remember of younger days; Our time was spent in millions of ways. We passed the fifth grade, then we joined And the factions mingled our class was coined. The year was spent making friendships, until We were sent to the West Side against our will. The seventh grade was of basket ball fame; We defeated the eighth grade in all but one game. And the freshmen we tied, a record to envy. For who else has done it, we think not any. In the eighth grade our team was by no means a fake But debating interests our pep did awake. We scheduled a clash with J. C. north of here And won 2-1 the event of the year. We graduated this year on May 23rd And people assembled, our speeches they heard. The grade program was finished, High School was here When the large room we entered we shivered with fear. But Prof, soothed our condition and soon, it is true That our spirits arose, we were no longer blue. The Freshman year showed our class was not slow As the athletic record of J. II. S. shows Seven boys from our class were out for foot-ball. Two made the team but that was not all; For in the basketball games the Freshmen were loyal. One on the team and four out to toil. To the four out to toil no credit was thrown But the pep of our class in these records is shown. And too, in debate one from our crowd Made one of the teams and won. no wonder we’re proud. In our sophomore year our interests were turned To the athletic games for which we all yearn; For most of the men on the team you will find Were from our class; who says we're behind? Our Junior year was by far the best. Athletics and debate wc entered with zest. On the foot-ball team six Juniors played And many a brilliant score they made. And again in Debate the honors we took For on the team three Juniors spoke. The Junior Prom was a grand success. Each boy and girl was in full dress To give the Seniors a grand farewell And it sure was the greatest in quite a spell. The History is finished. I've told all we’ve done— The records we made, the laurels we’ve won. —J- R PAGE TWENTY-SEVEN Sophomore Class PACK TWK.NTY NINE C Sophomore Class 3 Isabella Weber, President. Norman llobish.

H. S. in the tall of 1 9 1 IS. perhaps a bit nervous as are all Freshmen. There were about forty-three members enrolled. Things were strange the first day. but we soon had our programs arranged, had become acquainted and used to our part of the building, and we fell at home. The year sped on. there were some Hunkers of course, but no more than is usual in a Freshmen class. A member left us now ami then. As the year drew to a (dose the non-flunkers realized that one-fourth of their credits had been obtained. When school reopened, we as Sophomores found that several new pupils had been added, but at the same time, a larger number had not returned for the second year. Due of our new members composed a piece of music. We were very proud of him. but be was with us only a few weeks, when he moved to another city. Many were leaving school and now there are only about fifty per cent remaining id' the class which enrolled as Freshmen. The leaving of some causes the remaining ones to become discouraged. However at present, things are going smoothly. Those who are here mean to make a class which has the right kind o! school spirit. Perhaps our class isn't popular in athletics, but the teams were well backed by our members. In many of the other school activities, we may not be as well represented as some of the other classes, but we make every effort to encourage the participants and show them our good will, which is an essential backing. j. H. S. gives opportunities which money alone cannot buy. She affords interests which may not bring us to a high degree of popularity, but to a high degree of usefulness. They can be obtained only by working zealously and without fatigue. Our class is anxious to grasp these advantages, use them in the best way possible and help run the machinery of America. —• . M.

It. S. students. We all were so dazed that everything seemed decidedly hazy to us. We seemed to be surrounded by mists, mists of ignorance and mystery, behind which swayed, unsteadily a monstrous sea of blurred faces. Surrounded by these mists, is it any wonder that our faces wore dazed expressions: that Mr. Ballentine. up on the platform, seemed far away: or that we sometimes lost our sense of direction on our way to classes? Added to this the jeers of the upper classmen heightened our bewilderment. The second day. things went better. The mists were less dense. At least the atmosphere had cleared sufficiently so that we could tind our way down the corridors to our class-rooms. Five weeks passed and October seventeenth arrived. Why do we mention this particular date? The reason is this. The Freshmen gave their lirst party on that night. In the early part of the evening we played games, and the Freshman orchestra (principal instruments being horns and combs) entertained us witli several musical (?) selections. Several “stunts” were performed, a mock operation being one of the main features. The latter part of the evening was spent in dancing. When the orchestra played “Home Sweet Home we were all decidr.ly reluctant to leave. The Freshmen had enjoyed the evening, and something tells me that the upper-classmen did too. Where are we now? At the end of the first semester! We can hardly realize that our career as Freshmen is already half over. We move about more freely now. It is true we still make blunders, but the mists have been somewhat removed. At least, that sea of faces is no longer a blurred mass; the platform seems much nearer; we usually succeed in finding our own seats, and occasionally we tip-toe back to the fountain or dictionary. Now let me tell you of some of our class activities and a word or two about a few of our members. We have a Freshman Quartet George Kroen-ing. John Mattes, Joe Berg. Robert Klockow which is an inspiration. Our basketball team is a little wonder. It even defeated the experienced Sophomore team! Our model student is Karl Harrison, our champion heavyweight. Robert Mold, and our star calf-raiser, Is-o Biwer. hear me! Where has this grand and glorious'year gone? It has been a glorious and carefree one. The mists have at last risen so that we can see the bright blue sky above us. We sincerely hope that the sky will stay blue. We are looking forward to another glorious year and I am sure that we, as Sophomores, shall try to make it a year worth while. —L. G. ’23.

It lias been called upon several times to sing for the students. The opening numbers so thrilled them that they were filled with tin spirit of music and were sorry to have the entertainers disperse. Soon the cpiartet will start strenuous practice for the spring events expecting to put out a program which w ill he hard to duplicate. —M. K. High School Orchestra Under the splendid instruction of Miss Bienfang, our High School Orchestra has been very successful this year. Everyone in the organization reported promptly and dutifully at the regular rehearsals. For a high school of this size we are very fortunate in having an organization of this kind, with so competent an instructor and such good musicians. The orchestra has added a great deal to our social life in .1. It. S. which would otherwise be comparatively dull. It offers a splendid opportunity for experience in orchestra work. It has played for several of our social entertainments and everyone present had to confess that we have a first class orchestra and one of which to be proud. With the coming of a joyous and refreshing spring and its festivities. we are waiting to again hear the charming and pleasing music. Audrey Henuen. Piano. Arnold Bienfang. Cornet, Violin.

PAGE TIIIHTY-EIGHT PAGE THIRTY-NINE c The Girl’s Glee Club □ The Girl's Glee Club is one of the best organized and established institutions in onr liigh school. The members are enthusiastic and realize the benefits derived from their attendance. It requires a leader with patience and understanding to conduct such an organization and convince girls that they should spend an extra hour every week when only one-fifth credit is given as recognition for this work. A natural delight for music and the desire to be proficient in it. attracts new members each year, and tlie result is a large enrollment, Everyone hates drudgery, hut no one looks upon the Glee Glub work as such, even though it takes a little will-power to promote regular attendance at rehearsals. Not only the girls of the club, but tin school as a whole, derives much cultural benefit and enjoyment from the concerts and entertainments offered by this organization.

The question debated was: Resoived, that the open shop should be maintained in industry. The debate was held March t. 1920. It was a joint debate between Oconomowoc, Watertown and Jefferson. Our affirmative team contested at Oconomowoc, Watertown’s affirmative came here, and Oco-nomowoc’s affirmative team went to Watertown. The members of the teams were as follows: Affirmative:—Bert Hilberts. Ernest Thedinga. John Welch. Negative: Win. Kiessling, Ray Schultz, Arthur Valin. All the affirmatives won. Oconomowoc won at Oconomowoc. At Jefferson the result was 2-1 in our favor. Watertown won at Water-town. We all feel that the boys’ time and efforts were well spent. Their cause was successful and their triumph met with the approval of all. They were left with Hie satisfaction of having done a big thing well. —L. B. Declamation and Oratory The preliminary oratorical and declamatory class contests are open to all students in the high school, and those who avail themselves of the opportunity receive intensive training in the natural art of expression. The old school of Education lias in its artificial training made stilted and ineffective speakers. The coaching received here is to help the student freely express himself and interpret the natural thought of good literature. The result of this work is shown in the good rating which our school lias in the League which consists of Edgerton, Stoughton, Whitewater. Fort Atkinson and Jefferson, and also in the Whitewater District. The girls entering the declamatory contest are as follows: Freshmen:—Margaret Wahl. Sara Rullwinkel. Marie Schweiger, Verna Feind and Iva dross Sophomores:- Dorothy Keuler, Verna Bienfang and Marion Welch. Juniors:—Rachel Weinberg. Priscilla Rees and Lorretta Jung. Senior:— Violet Weber. The hoys who took part in oratorical contest are: Freshmen:—Robert Fleming. Sophomores:—Merlin Brose. Juniors:—Bert Hilberts. Charles Shannon. John Reiuel, William Kiessling. Seniors: Rubin Stielim. The League Contest was held this year on Friday, April 30, at Fort Atkinson. PAGK I ORTY-TWO School Snap Shots PARE FORTY-THREE PAGE FORTY-K H H JHS] Coach Hager Mr. Hager became a member of the Jefferson High School faculty in 1919, but he was hy no means a stranger to the school. He was graduated from J. H. S. in 191 i. and was a star in athletics during his high school career. Mr. Hager later attended and was graduated from Stout Institute where he was also a mainstay in athletic activities. Kvery one interested in high school affairs was pleased when Mr. Hager's services were secured for the 1919-20 school year. That he has headed very ably the Manual Arts department of the school is shown by the highly favorable reports which have been received after the state inspections of his department. State Inspector Sclimidt even went so far as to state, unconditionally, that Jefferson High School possessed the best mechanical drawing course of any institution of its kind in Wisconsin. It is not only Mr. Hager’s academic accomplishments with which we are concerned, however. We are especially interested in his work in athletics and his success as a coach. During the 1919-20 season he produced a very creditable basket hall team, and certainly one of the best football elevens which has ever represented the school. He whipped the available material of our rather small student body into teams which will not at once be forgotten in Jefferson. Coach Hager’s enthusiasm, tactics, and snappy methods were a great factor in the success of the 1919-20 teams, hut his magnetic personality and ability to handle hoys was, in our opinion, one of the greatest forces in the winning of games for J. H. S. The student body and those who are interested in Jefferson High School, and especially in its athletic activities, sincerely hope that Mr. Hager will see tit to continue his work in the Fall of 1920. —K. C. P VIE FORTY-HIVE C JHS Rhyme of Victory In Ilio valley of Hock River. In the land of old Wisconsin, Hose a tribe of mighty warriors: Warriors were they, skilled and fearless, With Chief Hue low as their leader; Great Chief Hager their medicine mixer; In the Fall of nineteen nineteen. Many tribes they met and conquered: Conquered all with one exception: Won the honors of the valley; Mighty tribe of Hager's warriors! Fought to tie the tribe of Stoughton, Swamped indeed the Rookie Lakers. In the third light battled, winning, Gainst the mighty Conniewoners. Fighting spirit, grit redoubled, Waterloo's scalps did they gather: Then from Janesville, warriors journeyed, Fought, returned, yes badly beaten. Then arose the tribe our neighbors, Filled were they with thoughts of vengeance. Hatred had they for our warriors. Conquered were they, though our chieftains Met them on their ground familiar. Then to Cambridge, went our warriors. To the land of little rivers. Met their warriors, beat them badly. Back they came, to end the conflict, Back to meet our neighbors angry. This time were they strong and ruthless; Made us light to win the battle. Fight we did. at last outplayed them; We did win a hard earned victory. In the valley of Rock River Reigns a wholesome peace and quiet; Quiet and a deep contentment. Now our warriors, breaking training. Smoke the pipe of peace and ponder: Ponder o'er the next year s conflict, All is well within the valley, In the valley of Rock River. —R. H. S. 1919 Football Team PAliE FORTY-SEVEN C c JUS The Line-Up D Raymond Lanier, Left Half. With little previous experience, lie developed in 11) 1 $ into the best left hall-hack ever produced in Jefferson. He was a constant ground gainer and most reliable on the defense. Ernest Thedinga, Right Guard. He carne to ns from Rome. He was a guard of no mean ability to hold on and to break things up. Teddy, we shall miss you in Charles Shannon, Left Tackle. Charley” was in the game at all times, smashing interference, and was a most efficient tackier. His ability on the offensive was unexcelled. Rubin Stiehin. Center. ISliehm. wlm held the pivot position undisputedly, hails from Johnson Creek. His passing was excellent and his defensive work above criticism. Funny”, you surely worried your opponents, and we hate to lose you. William Kiessling. Right Tackle. The big-man” of the team was a stone wall for interference. As right tackle he opened up many a hole which resulted in long gains. Bill , we expect still more next Fall. Neil Rlumensteiu. Right Knd. Neil, who came to us from Sullivan, was a hard tackier, and interference that got by him was some interference.” His speed made him most reliable for forward passes, and a most efficient ground gainer. Bert Hilberts. Left Knd. No matter how hard the play or where the ball went. Butts” was there, either in the midst or on top of the scrimmage. I'AliK I im -EIGHT Edwin Babareiner. Right Half. With little or no experience, “Heby filled liis part most effectively. Heby”, we expect wonders of you in 1920. Raymond Feind. Right Half. Smiley” was always in the game heart and soul Whether on the side lines or in the thick of the light. Fort's line was like a silken thread when Smiley- carried the ball. Louis Ruelow. Captain and Full-Back. As captain, he knew the game and used his knowledge to a good advantage. As full-hack, when he started with the hall it meant a move ahead, for he was sure to hit the line for a gain. His passing was of varsity caliber, which netted for Jefferson the majority of its touchdowns. Louis, you were a wonder, and we shall miss you. Kenneth Crawford. Quarter-Back. He played a hard and consistent game, always ready and willing to do his best. “Casey-’ was never discouraged and through his strategy several games were won during the last few minutes of play. We wish he were to remain with us. John Welch. Cuard. He was an ex-service man with a salty walk, who proved himself to he a most effective lineman. His opponents were of little value to their teams. Merlin Seifert, Left Cuard. Many plays that resulted in gains for the Red and White” were due to Merlin's lighting ability. Merlin, we look forward to still bigger things from you next fall. Mark Bienfang. Louis Mistele. Balph Bienfang, Ceorge Kroening, Arthur Yahn. These live men won their berths on the squad and received the Official Monogram for their loyal support and stick-to-it-ive-ness. They should prove valuable material for the 1020 football season. PACK FORTY-NINE JHS Jefferson 13, Oconomowoc 3 Oconomowoc deserves honorable mention because THEY were the only team that succeeded in scoring: against Jefferson High during the entire football season of 1 !•!!� . Oconomowoc came over with a strong and experienced team and was confident of victory. Jefferson also, lacked no confidence for the team had gone through a week of hard practice under Coach Hager, so they felt they were a good match for any high school team. The game was a fast one and offered much excitement for the rooters of Coony and Jefferson. Altho Coony tried very hard to score a touch down the closest they could get to the goal was to the twenty-live yard line. It was here that Coony scored a drop kick which netted them their only three points. Jefferson was evidently too strong for them and scored two touch downs in the lirst half. Blumy took the hall over the line on a fake end-run which gave Jefferson the first six points. Bert was responsible for the other, for he took the ball on the same kind of a play and advanced it within three feet of Coony's goal. A plunge by the fullback made the score a winning one and the second victory for Jefferson that season. Both teams played a clean and fast game. Oconomowoc should he commended on their good sportsmanship. 1'AOE FIFTY Fort 0, Jefferson 12 Tin- game played at Fort was a great blow to Fort’s athletics as well as a day of disaster to the city. Never before in history bad Jefferson suer....led in beating the Forters in football. The team was in line condition and decided it was a day to make history. The game was won by old time football and the continuous smashing and hard tackling of the JelVerson F.leven wore the Fort team out in the first half. In the second half Jefferson had its own way. The line held Fort to their downs whenever they had the ball, and when it was Jefferson’s turn to carry it they opened up holes in the line that a horse could easily have gone thru. The doubtful penalties that Jefferson received were discouraging but they did not lose the determination to win. Both touchdowns were scored in tin last quarter. The llrst touchdown was scored by the old tactics. “Smashing. Peanuts slid over the gi al line on a cross-buck plunge and Fort's hopes of winning the game departed. There were only a few minutes left to play but by the same old tactics. Jefferson managed to get within lifteen yards of the goal line. Here when Fort least expected it. Buelow dropped a pass to Hilberts. which netted Jefferson the twelve points. This was the greatest game of the season, for as before mentioned, it was the llrst time Fort was ever beaten by Jefferson. A place will surely be reserved in the Jefferson High School Annals for this great event. Fort 0, Jefferson 6 The second conflict against Ft. Atkinson was a home game on Thanksgiving Itay. Fort certainly came tip for revenge so that Jefferson had all they could do to keep them from scoring. Altho several times they did come dangerously near the goal line, the first half ended without either side scoring. The second half, Jefferson came back against Fort with the old playing tactics and it could easily he seen that Jefferson had the most endurance. Nearing the end of the second half the home team resorted to forward passes and at the most exciting moment of the game, Rlumy caught a pass and barely slid over the goal line. This disheartened the visiting team and five minutes more would have netted Jefferson another touch-down hut the whistle blew and the game was over. This game ended the career of football for more than one senior and here’s wishing that the 1020 team succeeds in trimming all comers.

The defeats of the team were incurred because it played some of the strongest teams in Southern Wisconsin. Out of nine games played. Jefferson was successful in winning only three. The lirst game was played during Christmas vacation, the team defeating the Alumni by a large score. Jefferson certainly lost their horseshoe for the next few weeks, four consecutive games being lost, to their opponents. Portage came down and defeated the home team hv a score 16-12, on Jan. K. Jan. 16, Jefferson went to Stoughton and put up a good scrap against the strong Stoughton team. At the end of the game the score was lie, 16-16. In the live minutes of over play the Stoughton center caged three Held goals and Jefferson experienced their second defeat by a score, 22-16. Fort came up Jan. 23 for revenge for football and succeeded in turning the tables on the home team. Fort went home with a score 24-16 in their favor. On Jan. 30, Jefferson visited Columbus and again came home defeated by a large score 35-5. This is no disgrace, however, for the Columbus team had one of the best teams in the state and suffered their only defeat at the hands of Racine at the Milwaukee Tournament. It would seem that by losing so many games consecutively that the spirit of a team would be broken, tint Jefferson still bad the determination to defeat two more teams before the end of the season. On Feb. 6, they played Qconomowoc after school. Oconoinowoc was feared because of their ability in football, but they were beaten 42-15. On Feb. I! , St. John's came with a rather strong team as their lightweight team was not in condition to play. The game was a fast one and St. John’s ran up a sc-ore in the first half before our team got started. Jefferson came back in the second and defeated them lb-17. The fellows went to Fort on the 13th determined to win. but the jinx was again there. They were defeated by that team for the second time in the season, 26-14. The team went to Whitewater two weeks later where they played the Whitewater Commercial High School. They met defeat in the last game of the season, by a score of 26-6. Altho this game ended in a defeat for Jefferson, the fellows knew that their time was not entirely wasted during the basketball season. It was only the jinx that kept them from scoring and their ability to co-operate with each other, as they did in their excellent team work, gave them much valuable experience. It is interesting to know that every one of the basket-ball players were members of the football team which is very unusual in high school.

The age of the town can be judged only by its cemeteries and not by its buildings for it,s residences and places of business have been remodeled or rebuilt every thirty years by the descendants of the Teutonic race. The inhabitants, as has been mentioned, are of Teutonic ancestry, which explains why twenty of the business places decorate their interiors with Steins and sell soft drinks or hard cider. The townsfolk and countryfolk conduct themselves exacty alike. Upon drawing near the business section of town the men go to admire tlie Steins while the women go to any of the general, hardware, or drug stores and look over its 57 Varieties of merchandise. The inhabitants of tlie town and country are of the slow plodding variety who seem to tie trying to get nowhere but who always seem to be just one lap ahead of any competitive neighbor. Owing to the Flu the population of the town has decreased two; and on account of the War the prices have increased to a point where—well!—where a person might say that tlie populace were forced to tap their shoes, but the inhabitants always had their shoes re-soled from the time of George the First down to tin reign of the Mergs. 1 said that .lefTerson was always a lap ahead and I think that the last statement is a fine example but here is another: To save the younger generation the Immilation and worry of finding a job most positions are hereditary. If a man is a store keeper. Iiis oldest inherits the job as well as the store and spends the rest of his life listening to the men discuss tlie weather and the women discuss the deaths from wooden alcohol or other form of contagious disease. The cabinetmaker's son becomes a cabinet maker and the Ford owners son drives The Universal Car as a Jitney. Of course in cases where there are ten or twelve in the family some of the fellows have to start a similar business of their own. The only lion-hereditary position is school teaching. The kids up on the knoll won’t stand for any of the generation following the present teachers. The citizens are all individuals, none collected in a rigid social sect, or united in religion. If a crooked deal comes along the citizens will turn crooks to call the bluffs . EXCUSE MK! I made a bad mistake. There is one group that is firmly united. I am speaking of the manufacturers. They are united against any rumor or movement to expand the town’s boundaries. If a person wants to start a factory he will find that the council, backed by the manufacturers, will immedi-alelv hump his plans. Nevertheless .lefTerson is the best place in the world. —R. E. P. “REST IN PEACE.” PACE FIFTY -NINE Jefferson Public Library Library work is necessary to make a High School course complete, for in the text hooks alone the student cannot lind enough material with which to work. He must go to the library and lind information which is more detailed on the subject in which he is interested. The Public Library, on Main street, is one of the student centers. Here they come to work, or lind recreation in reading and it is easily seen that those who spend a share of their time here, have a high scholastic standing. The school library being more closely connected is still a greater help to the student. It is one of the largest high school libraries in the state; equipped with eighteen hundred volumes, two daily newspapers, and magazines of travel, education, business, science, current topics, anti fiction. The library is always quiet and is an excellent place to study. The library is under the careful supervision of Mi-- Mayme Trager who devotes all of her time to this work. Miss Trager knows library work, and that of our library thoroughly. Those lucky persons who attend Jefferson High School receive her incomparable aid in finding history references and all other material to which they have been assigned. She is always willing to give individual attention to everyone and it will be a long time before “Aunt Mayme” is forgotten by any of us who have left the hill. —A. B.

PAGE SIXTY-ONE :jhs] A Teacher’s Dream It was Friday night and one more week was over. This week and this last day had been no worse than all the rest, but I was (dad that this one night I could lay asid- all work, for I had the next day to get ready for the next week. A- the rest of our “crowd were doing the same tiling we all derided to see the “Movies . The play was of the usual kind, “Almost A Husband to be exact, nothing, you see, which taxed our minds very much. After that we had something to eat and began talking about those “good old days at college. It was after telling many college stories and singing many college songs that we retired. And the following is what happened that night. Eight-thirty finds me calling the room to order and telling tin last stragglers that it is time to go to their classes. Then follows fifty minutes of work on the part of almost every one. Marjory, with every hair in place, comes in late. Kai l Schiferl watches the room so I work with the rest. The next period is, as usual, not as restful, but never-the-less I have a hard time keeping Marion from making up the sleep she ha lost the night before. I call on Kenneth ami nearly faint when lie rises at once and with a burst of English recites as if he had studied and I wonder if his notebook is up to date. While he i making thi- grand recitation Louis, for the benefit of the rest of the class, applies the powder to Fern's note book and his own. Then Marjory, always so sure of herself, makes what she thinks is a good recitation. Everything going nicely. I call on Ray. He rises so rapidly lie tears his pance Earl Harrison's spelling). As he stands there, so straight, and with such an oratorical air, we are almost sure he is going to give for us that forgotten debate. Hut again our hopes are shattered and his are too, I guess, for lie forgets what lie was going to say. That class passes out. and. after some waiting, a pupil for Ueometry appear'. After the first one ha- started working, the Iasi one comes in and wants to know in one moment what is being done. II seems queer how his interest is so suddenly aroused. During the course of the period, the work of the last six weeks i� discussed. After a few details are given, some one says —“And I suppose if we fail on that we will he failed for the semester. Yes, I think you ought to,” 1 reply. “O! Miss Henry, you wouldn’t do that would you.” This comes from Rubin. There he stands, that big Senior boy, leaning forward with an anxious look on his face as though he were pleading for some poor student in that class. But knowing Rubin as I do I knew this pleading is done merely for effect. After the third period comes fifteen minutes of spelling. Among the group of pupils allotted to me were two boys, Arthur Yalin and John Reinel. At tin end of the period when I told of how Arthur Yalm was spending his time making a paper accordian and showing how it worked some other teacher said, Why John Reinel had that in my class.” And when Arthur Yalin sprung the joke about locating decimal points when you multiply, some one said “Why John Reinel was the one who was telling that.” So I decided to let them know that 1 knew that they changed names. Next conies another class in History. I ask a question of Marion Welch. “I don’t know” she says. Then Irene. “I don't know. Marion Uhl comes next PAGE SIXTY-TWO and answers in the same way. So also Sylvia and Dorothy. My this time I am almost tempted to say. I'm not asking you to answer roll with the expression 1 don't know.” Instead I call on Louise Hauser. She recites and gives her authority as West's text and I am sorry l tell her that West had not mentioned the subject at all. By this time Verna and Merlin Hrose have both stood the quietness as long as they can and both start arguing about some point of no importance. Verna does her best to impress tlie boys of the class and is at least successful as far as Merlin is concerned. In Modern History Hill always finds something in Louise Baneek's recitation to correct and then, in a few minutes, tells the rest of the class the whole lesson. Then Elsie with a sudden inspiration get- it off her mind before she forgets it. And from Minnie I get merely silence and lids of it. Perhaps she thinks Mill can talk for the whole class. After they go I find an eye brow pencil between the seats of Arlyne and Elsie. It is needless to say what I think. Then follows a Freshmen class. Earl Harrison perches himself on my desk, and as it seems an appropriate place I let him stay for a while. I wonder what he would do if he could not quarrel with some one about a seat. Mut then, he must have something to talk about. I often wonder if his or Louis Mistele’s jaws never get tired from their constant chatter or gum chewing. After giving a demonstration on how to do the next day's problems two members of the class work problems on the board and then each pupil starts to work alone. After two minutes of seeing what every one near her is doing Esther says. “How do you do that? After helping her I discover that Albert has not started at all and Lee is writing a telegraph code. They get started and Marie asks Does x and x equal x? or 2x?“ Something she should have learned the first month. Immediately afterwards someone asks what a negative times a positive makes, another thing learned months ago. Then some one says 1 ain’t got no more paper.” Needless to say I am glad when thi-period is done. My next period is free, or supposed to be, but soon at my elbow I hear Robert Xnld saying in a low whisper, Is this all right? W hen he ever came in is more than I know. After he is gone 1 begin checking up on some themes and find that Pearl Mackes has in t handed in her theme. When I ask her for it she looks so surprised a- if to say. Why, how should you expect me to have that done?’ Then I have to do police duty in the Main Room for a period. Earl Krause waits for the room to quiet down and then gets out a book, but what he wants is in the library, so he goes and stays for a whole minute. He comes back and spends the next few minutes, about ten, doing nothing but pass first one knee over the other and then changing their positions. About that time Merlin has finished his apple and is entertaining the room by putting the core down Neil’s neck. Then Earl uses the main desk for a target for his corn but soon leaves by request. The ordeal is over, classes pas- in and in short order every one leaves the room for Mr. Hrose to sweep. Bert. John Reinel and Merlin Seifert leave for the Art room to stutT the Annual Dummy. Karl Schiferl finds some one to whom he can tell the history of his grandparents. The fire gong sounds, it must be five thirty? Mut no. as I open my eyes I realize that it is the Shoe Factory whistle for six-thirty! I think of my dream and wonder how I could have been having all those classes and am thankful that it is Saturday and I can turn over and go back to sleep. PAGE SIXTY-THREE PAGE SIXTY EOl R JHS Oct.

Do We Appreciate Good Workmen ? There are some people who are always on time. Their work is so systematic and so carefully planned that each day they always perform the same duty at the same time. Such a man is Mr. Brose. We can hardly realize the enormous amount of work connected with the upkeep of our high school. Mr. Brose does, and carries out that work in a creditable manner. There are some buildings in which you can almost feel the presence of a personality. Do not the clean corridors, the well cared for class rooms all bespeak Mr. Brose’s character? You fear his resentment if you do not comply with his wishes. Many a boy or girl has dashed into sheltering corner when they saw Mr. Brose’s stern glance fall upon them. His success too, is probably due to his wonderful system. Perhaps no other man could do his work quite as well as he does it. The pride which he feels in the upkeep of this institution rivals the pride which we feel in our high school. I A ; K SIXTY SIX [JHS2 Why Not ? Men who have been moderately successful in life always like to talk about figures with one or two commas in them and a dollar sign for a head. Other men like to talk about big improvements that will increase the valuation of their property at a very small expense for themselves. The above mentioned men are today, considering an improvement which will increase the value of some five acres of land twenty-five per cent. This improvement considered by the dollar men and the beneficiaries is the Racine Street bridge. We shall forget the bridge for the present and consider what Jefferson really needs before she thinks about this pieee of concrete. The city might repair the existing bridges: the cities’ visitors, farmers and business people, should have a comfort station; the new National Guard unit could stand a new armory and the young people must have a community house. The purpose of this editorial is to show Jefferson how it can get better improvements than the bridge at less cost. Now that the purpose is stated let us consider Jefferson’s necessities mentioned in the first paragraph. Repairing the bridges. The repairing of the old bridges will be about $10,000, or less than one-tenth the cost of a new one. W o all known the bridges must he repaired so we will drop this subject, but remember we have spent $10,000. The Comfort Station. Section 1 Charter 1ST Laws of 1019 states, “A new section is added to the statutes to read. Section 0 17 f. 1. Every city and incorporated village shall provide and maintain a sufficient number of suitable and adequate public comfort stations for both sexes.” Therefore, we must build comfort stations sooner or later. Let's be first. Why not? The National Guard Armory. 1 believe there is a law which provides $10,000 for the building of an armory. Now let us put the last three improvements together, the comfort station, the armory, and the community club. For the $10,000 furnished by the state the Guards get three rooms and a hall. They use the hall no ol'tener than twice a week, leaving five days a week when it could be used for other purposes. Why not take the $10,000 and add enough to it to construct a good community club containing comfort rooms, club rooms, and gymnasium apparatus. The cost of such a building could not reach the $60,000 mark and would he three times more valuable to the community than the proposed street decoration. $100,000 minus $10,000 for bridge repairing and $60,000 for a community house, plus $10,000 furnished bv the state for an armory, leaves $40,000 in the tax payers' pockets. Then why not dedicate the finished building to our World War Men instead of forgetting them by removing the Honor Roll? When this plan is adopted the dollar men can talk about the comma dollars that were saved, and the whole town will be benefitted instead of a few property holders. —R. p.

The father of O Hanu San. who has been absent for some time in the service of the Japanese army, is expected home to help celebrate the eighteenth birthday of his daughter. Croat preparations are being made for the festival. Kxeitement and happiness prevails when a message arrives announcing that her father must start at once for the seat of war in China and cannot visit his loved one first.

PAGE EIGHTY-ONE The Alumni — and it’s Association This is a subject to lie approached with caution. The Alumni, numerically strong, could stand some pointed comment, whereas the Alumni Association, in it's present weakened condition, must needs he handled gently. Now. all successful institutions of learning (and the Jefferson High School is such an institution) have their Alumni: that is to say a variable percentage of those who enter ultimately finish the prescribed course, receive diplomas, and so, ipso facta, become alumni whether they like it or not. Apparently most of our Alumni do not like it. In fact a majority of them forthwith try to “forget it' —and are uncommonly successful in the attempt. What is the remedy? Sentiment, and a due appreciation of having received “something for nothing . Perhaps sentiment alone, if properly applied, would effect a cure. Try this: Glance through the fore- going roster of the Alumni, and pause when you reach the names of vour class-mates; close your eyes and let memory have full sway for a few moments. And what is the result? A Hood of sentiment! That sentiment naturally seeks comradeship—the comradeship of our old friends at school—, which gives rise to thoughts of that forlorn and neglected orphan. The Alumni Association The Alumni Association, as now constituted, has form, but no substance; it has a purpose, but it does not function. It SHOULD be a vital, active force in our school matters; it SHOULD have a visiting committee: it SHOULD interest itself in the personnel of our School Board; its members SHOULD support and attend all school activities. However, the Association still breathes, and while there is life, there is hope”. The annual infusion of new members only reacts to the extent of a spasmodic kick or two. N hat it needs is revivification from within. Come forth, you old grads, and administer copious doses of sentiment! Then look for the transformation! —Lawrence J. Mistele. PAGE EIGHTY TWO PAGE EIGIITY-THREE =:jhs== Favorite Sayings of the Faculty Mr. Webster—“Now if you people would start out from the main room as soon as the hell rings you would get up here sooner ami we would have at least three minutes more class each day. (Evidently we have plenty now). Mr. Ballentine— A noted man once said.” Miss Griflln—“Say people (to inform us of the fact that we are human) its almost time to settle down. Mr. Murk—“Now let’s come to order.” Miss Trager—“Stop sliding that chair or you may go in the Assembly. Mr. Hager—“See this paddle? Get down to work. Miss Henry—“If you people don't start in ami act like high school students soon you can stay in the main room during this period. Mrs. Ballentine—“If you are bored in this class you may leave. Miss Bienfang—“Is it necessary to start talking every time we finish a song? Miss Rickerman—“Suppose you acted that way when you were teaching.” Miss Keller—“If you people don’t use this room as you should you won’t he allowed to come down here. Miss Reid—“It’s impossible for me to read unless you people keep still. Miss GefTert—“You may go in the office. Mr. Muck—“If two notes are struck right one will deaden the sound of the other ami there will he no sound.” Stielim—“Then you could get a hand to make a lot of noise and no one could hear it.” Mr. Muck—“If you don't get these fundamental principals about a generator you will find yourself in the dark, and it will be pretty dark, too.” John Welch—“It’s always darkest just before the dawn. Harrison—“Say Blechschmidt. you got my towel!” Blechsciimidt—“You’re crazy. I had this towel down here all season. stand it up in the corner, Bleckschmidt. M'ss Reid quoting the “Village Blacksmith. I'mler the spreading blacksmith tree. The Village chestnut stood.” Miss Reid— The difference in teaching tactics between your high school day ami mine is that there lias been a war between.” Pork Musta been the Civil War.” Mr. Muck—“All sound is caused by vibration. Stielim- -“Then one could get si cold, he'd whistle. Mr. Muck—“If two different notes are struck at the same tim . heats are obtained. Stielim- That's a good way to get beets.

For the more you learn and know Just goes on to show you how. Take the fool who doesn't know. Just how much there is to know. Thinks he’s the wisest guy on earth. He alone does know his worth. As an example lets take you. When was it you thought you knew More than your Dad? And did surmise How you knew all and would criticise. Now every one of you’ll admit As an eighth grader you did sit.

The apparatus was fixed so that when the alcohol boiled the cork was blown ofT. The odor was soon around the room. Casey: “The fumes are worth more to me than the experiment. Cutty Krause was getting current events for Monday’s lesson on the preceding Friday. Miss Trager: “Carl, why don’t you get that from Sunday's paper on Sunday.” Cutty: “Six days shall thou labor and on the seventh shalt thou rest.” Miss Trager: “You may go into the main room right this minute.” Marion Fisher was chewing some hard Christinas candy. Nestor: “(lee wakes what are you chewing, bones?” Mr. Webster: “Merrill, tell about the period of discoveries.” Merrill: “Well railroads were discovered at this time.” This is the reason why Mr. Ballentine keeps on hiring English teacher every year. When Butts wants a ruler in geometry lie says: “(Jive me a -w hate hamaeal lit’.” Neil Blumenstein says a circle is a figure with all sides equal. Con is Buelow says a steam turbine is a rotary wheel. Casey said to Kluek: “Kluek. gimme a bit of tliat bar.” Kluek gave him one. Kluek told Casey that it tastes better when you get it for nothing. Casey: “Yes, it tastes cheap.” Miss Henry told the geometry class that our high school had a tine reputation among other schools but—the geometry clas- and the Senior Class were not the ones that brought the reputation to the school. Thanks for the compliment anyhow.) Olive Mae Reid and Owl Wright. Mr. Webster's orders in regard to raising rain are as follows: “If vnu feel it coming and can’t control it, get out.” The Advanced Algebra Class was having quite a time with a problem and all was still when Dually Casey, our class optimist, finally broke out, “Let’s take it for granted anyhow. The Latin Class was translating Caeser and Norma was translating the word Helvetian and was “stuck. She said: Hell-O Hell-O Hell and final- ly Mr. Webster broke in saying. Well, if that's the way you feel about it I’ll call on someone else. In spelling class Mr. Webster called for the difference between illusion and allusion and Cotty Krause said one was spelled with an I and the other with an “A”. Rubin was explaining a difficult geometry problem. He gave a reason for his method and asked Miss Henry if it was correct. She said: “I don't know. Rubin immediately replied: I know it. and if you don’t it ain't my fault. Karl S. disagrees with the saying, “Laugh and the world laughs with you. He says that several times he has cracked a deep joke and laughed himself but nobody laughed with him. In spelling class, Rubin spell accoustics. Rubin: “What kind of sticks are they?” Mr. Webster: “Get out and stay out. If you were in a hurry to write a letter would the paper weight ? Bert (Puzzled over proposition in geometry , I can't get a couple of steps in this thing.” Rubin: What's the matter? Can’tcha walk? Mr. Webster: “In which of his battles was Gustovus Adolphus killed? Pupil (after much reflection : I think it was in his last battle.” PAGE EIGHTY-EIGHT PAGE EIGHTY-NINE Are Vou Giving The Hens a Chance? A HEN just can’t help wanting to lay eggs. Nature made her that way. But she can’t lay unless she’s treated right. Give her a chance and she’ll work for you winter and summer. Hens like a good, warm, sunny, wind-tight house. They can’t lay eggs if it takes all the feed you give them to keep them warm. And there’s a vast difference in the way fertile eggs, laid under the right conditions, hatch out. With a good poultry house you get earlier hatches and more winter eggs—the two things that make for big poultry profits. White Pine makes the best chicken house, because the boards stay where you put them without warping or twisting or splitting. A White Pine chicken house means freedom from continual repairs. It’s a real investment. We have practical working plans, specifications and bills of material on the three chicken houses and will gladly quote you prices on them. They are designed with the ‘‘more-eggs’' idea in mind. We also have plans for other farm buildings. Come in and see them or send for us. Our service costs you nothing. Fernholz Lumber Co.
