PAGE TWENTY Class of 1927 As 1 sit hero with my lieail resting upon my hands, I ran recall those days when we were members of old Jefferson High School. It is almost forty years now since the class of nineteen hundred twenty-seven passed from those dear walls out into the world. Ah! To he hack again with those good old classmates who have drifted apart. Some have passed into the world beyond, hut I can still recall all of them now, as t sit before the lire. It was in September 1923 when we all assembled in the Main Room of our old High School. It was to he our home for four years. After becoming acquainted with the new routine, we elected our ofllcers: Robert Spangler, President; Lillian Verhalen, Vice President ; Carl Zobel, Secretary and Treasurer. During our Freshman year, we held several parties. Mr. Jack Vincent found us very useful in his Friday afternoon programs. Some of the members of our class joined the band or orchestra. Some took up declamatory work, and some joined the glee clubs. 'Then, in March occurred that sad event which will never be blotted from our memory. Our beloved school was destroyed by tire. However, two days later we went to school around the town. Different club rooms, halls, etc., were used as classrooms. These same rooms served the purpose during our Sophomore year. During this year the following people acted as class officers: President, (ieorge Loeder: Vice President, Carl Zobel; Secretary and Treasurer, Mirl Hauser; Assistant Secretary and 'Treasurer, Knuna Fglow. Douglas Daniels, Loren (iafke, Harold kortman, ieorge Loeder and Mark Wollet went out for football. Robert Spangler. Carl Zobel, Douglas Daniels, and Mark Wollet took up basketball. Catherine Heck. Rosalie Hraun. Kvora Holst, Jessie Norman, Lilah Quick, Helen Kafer, Catherine (ileiter. Helen Nevins, and Lillian Verhalen joined the (ilee Club. Rosalie Hraun, Robert Spangler, and Joseph Leedle joined the orchestra. Douglas Daniels, Mirl Hauser, (ieorge Loeder, Loren (iafke. Catherine Heck, Warner Goetz. Kugene Fleming, Rosalie Hraun, Harold Kortman, Robert Spangler. Helen Nevins, Rupert Schiesl. Mark W ollet, Joseph Leedle, and Carl Zobel did their best to help toward making the band a success. Carl Zobel. Warner (ioetz. and Robert Spangler represented the Sophs in the new Golf Club. At ttie Commercial Contest which was held at Waukesha, the Junior Typing class was represented by Helen Nevins and Catherine Heck. The (dlicers of our Junior year were as follows: Loren (Iafke, President; Jack Friedel, Vice President; Marian Shersmith. Secretary and Treasurer. That year we walked up the hill to the new home that would lie ours for two more years. This building was quite a contrast to the rooms we used as our school the year before. The llrst day we assembled in the Auditorium. Mr. Maclnnis explained to us tin proper care to take of a new building. We always remembered this and prized our new home too much to mar it in anyway. A larger number of our boys became very good football and basketball players under Mr. Hager's coaching. Carl Zobel was chosen as the football captain for the following year, and Jack Friedel was chosen as basketball captain. Robert Spangler and Rosalie Hraun helped to make up the famous high school orchestra. The same people remained in the band with the exception of Warner Goetz and Mark Wollet. This year a junior band was started and Marion Shersmith joined. A number of our boys took up oratory and some girls took up declamatory work. We left school on May 25. happy to think that we had one more year of school. This year the Senior 'Typing class was represented by Marion Guttenberg and Helen .Nevins. At this contest Marion received second place, writing- 6$ words per minute, and Helen received third place with 61 words per minute. As the result of receiving second and third places, they were both entitled to enter the state contest which was held at Whitewater. At this contest Helen Nevins received fourth place. On September fourth we came back with the spirit or J. |l. S. running through our veins. YVe elected class officers as follows: Joseph Leedle, president; Catherine Heck, Y'lce President; Leo Kennedy. Secretary and Treasurer. The ‘•J staff was chosen and they Organ to collect material for the J. ’ This year the football men made quite a showing and the team was one »f the best In tin league. Basketball and track came and went with our boys making themselves famous. Again we contributed a good number to the band, orchestra, and gler dubs. The. girls also formed a crack ba krthall team conifKised of the following: Lillian Verhalen. Helen Nevins, Catherine Beck, Marlon Guttenberg. and Clara Puerbringer. When we left school that spring there were fifty seats to fill, replace such a class as ours hail been. I know It was difficult to Margaret Korn meter, '27.
