So much has been spoken ami written about the decadence of modern youth that il is most refreshing to read of the achievements of these Jefferson modern youth.” If things were as bad as some would have us believe, we might expect to find our young people taking little interest in the worthwhile activities of the school. Scan these pages and see if you don't agree with those of us who have had I he pleasure and privilege of working and playing with these virile, red-blooded, enthusiastic young Americans that they have been living happily, working thoughtfully, playing sportingly, and growing determinedly. They take their curricular work seriously and climb steadily upward year by year over language hurdles, through mathematical mazes, into scientific realms both social and physical, undaunted and unafraid, and emerge victorious to join tlie ranks of urn alumni who have pioneered tlie way. They enjoy the comradeship of their companions and build for themselves citadels of friendship money can never buy. They plunge wholeheartedly into their recreational activities releasing the dynamic energy of youth in athletic struggle, forensic clash, journalistic effort, and musical and dramatic expression. Life is just as real to modern youth as it ever was to the youth of any past age or even to you older folk who look down at them with the austerity of age-ripened experience. And life is just as earnest, as they conquer joyously or suffer reverses philosophically, (lather new strength and resolution. then, as you look into the faces ol these students who have stood the test, glory in their achievements as succeeding pages narrate their conquests. ■ reel these youth with helping hand and cheering word, for il is with them that the future of society rests. Youth of today decadent? Not so. youth of today dynamic. And Jefferson youth? None bettor! W itness this hook. PACK. TWKI.VK Carl Hagers Evelyn Hodges' OlafClauson -v Ruth Rankin CARL J.

On that September day so long ago we set sail as tlie green Freshmen. Helen Puerner was onr Captain on the first lap of the journey. With a crew of forty-eight we managed to have many good times. Paul Heileman, Paul Noble, and Hobert Haithel represented us in football. Many girls and boys entered file declamatory and oratory contests. Helen Puerner received first place, and Faith Hamann copped second. Hugo Heck look first and John Knutson second among the boys. Many of our crew tried their skill in truck and band. In basketball we came out at the bottom. The second year of our journey we were known as Sophomores. Paul Noble now had the controls in bis hands. A few more boys entered the sports held on deck. Paul Heileman was the only one with sufficient skill to make the first football team. In basketball we fared much better than the previous year. We closed the basketball season by winning the class tournament. Declamatory and oratory were again represented. and Hugo Beck and John Knutson tried their hand at debate. As Juniors we started on the third lap of our journey. Haithel had joined Heileman on the first team in football. Schuett and Tiger” were on the first basketball team. In class basketball we again won the honors of first place. On April 12 the Prom was held on deck. It turned out to be a glorious evening. Irene Landgraf and Halph Schuett, as queen and chairman, led the grand march. Under the careful guidance of Hugo Beck our gallant crew finished the third year of journeying. As Seniors we now shall come to anchor. Our crew will he dispersed. perhaps never to meet again. Some will continue their travels through the seas of Lesson and Learning, and others will he content to remain and seek their living here. During our last year we have had many enjoyable times. Football again saw our class well represented. Tiger,” John Knutson, John Fuerbringer. Orrie Sehiesl, and Paul Heileman were our stars. The call to basketball was answered by Harold Rieck. Tiger,” Orrie, and Schuett. In class basketball we again took first place. Just a few weeks now remain, and they undoubtedly will he filled to overflowing. Graduation is both joyous and sad. We love to think of our sailing alone in the world, and yet we hate to leave the scenes so familiar and dear to us.

I hiring (Ids time our elass has been well represented in school activities. Our athletes are Doering, Leedle, lvoltes, Raithel, Rohisch, Schultz, and Rindtleiseh. AH six of these men have their football letters and Leedle has his basketball letter. Hobby Leedle is one of the best punters in the league. Two of our members are holding regular places on the debate teams, and quite a few of the boys and girls id' our c lass have entered and won honors in oratorical and declamatory contests. The Juniors, who helped to make our High School Hand a success are: Raithel, Hanks, Hake, Rockstroh, Doering, Rindtleiseh, Robisch, and Kiesling. Our Junior Prom is a very promising event with Dick Copeland as our honorable Prom Chairman. Oh, yes, our class also has the only original battling Jeffersonian Wildcat, who is none other than the powerful David Turner. David is known to his ring enthusiasts for his terrific speed and smashing right-hand upper-cut. With a little careful training, David should some day win a championship. With all these past achievements to their credit the Juniors promise you a bigger and better annual in their Senior year. Ormal E. Kiesling. JUNIOR OFFICERS Fred Rindtleiseh.........................

It was a lovely day to begin school. At first we had our troubles, mainly teachers and Sophomores. Itut soon with President Paul Hibbard guiding our ship of state, we began to find our places. Parties and basketball games helped to put us on a finer basis with the rest of the school. Francis Kndl got on the second team of football, but we didn't place anybody on the basketball squad. We hope to next year. We secured last place in the class basketball tournament. which I guess is unusual for the Frosb. With spring coming now we will lie playing baseball. Perhaps there may be some Ty Cobbs among us. If the rest of our years are as joyful as this one was. we certainly will not regret coming to the old Jefferson High School.

PACE THIHTA Sopkomore ci ass i History Last year when we entered Jefferson High School as Freshmen, we were termed the “toughest and worst class that ever entered the school,” by both the faculty and upper classmen. Where the toughness in us was, is a mystery to us and to our loyal supporters (or supporter.) However, we do shine in some things other than behavior. This year when a new sport, hockey, was added to the girls' gym activities, the Sophomore giris, allhough not the most outstanding team in the school, were really not half had. Irene Fleming and Hernice Kitller were among Ihe brightest stars in Ibis sport. James Connelly and Kddie Spangler were our shining lights in football, Kddie playing as the regular quarterback, and Jim as center. Four of our boys were out for basketball, and should be some of the best players next year. These are Kddie. Jim. John (Baby) Walthers, and Hob Hiederman. The Sophomores also have two members on Ihe debate learn namely Hubert Jocko) Thomas and Laura Powers. We look forward to a very successful year in Oratory and Declamation. with the aid of a new comer, Pauline Wakeham, for Declamation, and our orator, Robert Thomas. In girls' basketball Bernice Eiffler, Evelyn Herde, Mary Stiehm. Ruth Scbakelmann. and Jean Knutson are our best players. Besides these activities, Ihe Sophomores have often led Ihe school in scholastic honors. So you may well see that we aren't such a bad class after all. Laura Powers.

FKe . eac] le s, framing Department As long as Jefferson has had its training school, the teachers’ training course has always been a popular one, both for local and out of town students. Many of the best teachers in the county have received their training here, and we hope many more will in years -to come. The course offers a very thorough training in all phases of teaching. It includes practice teaching in all eight grades. This is possible through the splendid cooperation with which the East Side and Junior High teachers work with the department. Those who graduate from the course have about 28 weeks of practice teaching to their credit including a week of teaching in a rural school and a week spent in observing rural school work. This is a good deal more than most training schools provide for. Besides the work in practice classes, regular courses in academic subjects are also given. It gives the students a solid foundation in the fundamentals of learning which one must have in order to be a successful teacher. This year the class has also been able to enjoy a short art course through the kindness of Miss Fox. The girls appreciated this very much. The entire department is under the direction of Miss Halvorsen who handles it most capably. She is a splendid teacher, and the girls have enjoyed working with her very much. Those who have taken the course this year are as follows: Gertrude Appenfeldt, Lake Mills; Loraine Freudensprung, Jefferson; Odelia Gericke, Jefferson; Erna Hafe-mann, Jefferson; Eileen Henderson, Watertown; Lucille Lang. Johnson Creek; Edna May, Watertown; Evelyn Pohlman, Marshall; Janet Romig, Fort Atkinson; Florence Sander, Lake Mills; Elizabeth Seeber, Jefferson; Agatha Wolf, Nenno.

Season s Games CAMBRIDGE 22—JEFFERSON 0 The Jefferson High School football team met the snappy Cambridge team to open the season, and the result was against us. With only five experienced men in the line, and an entirely new backfield, the boys were unable to get going before Cambridge had made two touchdowns. Then Koltes. who was on the sick list, got into a suit and for a time the team showed the old J. H. S. spirit. At the start of the third quarter a bad pass from center, on an attempted punt formation, rolled out of the end zone for an additional two points for Cambridge. The locals recovered from this setback and began a drive that seemed headed for a score, but as luck would have it, the speedy Hoi by of Cambridge intercepted one of Fuerbringer’s passes and raced to his 3rd touchdown. After the kickoff, another bad pass on punt formation gave Cambridge the ball on Jefferson’s 4 yd. line, where the final whistle stopped further slaughter. The score was 22 to 0. MILTON UNION 12 JEFFERSON 6 In the first conference game of the season, the Jeffersonians completely outplayed their opponents, but luck favored the other side, so another mark was registered on the loss column. This time the score was 12 to 6. After Jefferson had failed by a few yards, Milton scored on a blocked punt and a line plunge. Jefferson immediately began another drive toward the goal, but the half intervened. In the 3rd quarter, after Spangler had returned a punt 60 yards and then made another 25 yard run, Koltes plunged through for a touchdown. In the 4th quarter, a bad pass from center delayed Koltes’ punt which was blocked and scooped up by a Unionite for a touchdown and our defeat. The team showed great improvement over the Cambridge game, scoring 12 first downs to Milton’s 1. PAGE THIRTY-NINE NORTHWESTERN 18—JEFFERSON 0 The Jefferson High Gridders took their third defeat at the hands of the heavy and well balanced team of Northwestern College Preps by a score of 18-0. Two of the Watertown touchdowns were made as the result of blocked punts. The other was made after a plunge through center took the ball 68 yards to the 3rd yard line, where Heilemann made a line tackle. The game was a real scrap, with both teams fighting in earnest. Their anxiety to bang up things resulted in frequent penalties, one Prep being put out of the game for slugging. The Jeffs, with Bob Leedle in the game, were within scoring distance during the entire 4th quarter, but lacked the punch to put it across. EVANSVILLE 25—JEFFERSON 7 The team traveled nearly 40 miles from home to take a 25-7 downing from Evansville. The speed and fake plays of the Evansville playeis were too much for our midgets. During the first half the play was about even. Evansville scored first on a recovered fumble and plunges, and again on a poor kick and wide end run with perfect interference. Shortly after that Fuerbringer intercepted a pass and ran 65 yds. to a touchdown. A pass, Fuerbringer to Spangler, made it 13-7. Late in the 2nd quarter Rind-fleisch leaped high into the air for an Evansville pass. A series of passes and end runs brought the ball to Evansville’s 4 yd. line with first down. On first down a pass was intercepted, thus ending our scoring hopes. The 2nd half saw the Evansville lads pile into their lead. The speed of Peterson and R Hubbard was too much for Jefferson. Spangler starred for Jefferson on the side lines. LAKE MILLS 7 JEFFERSON 0 A rejuvenated Jefferson High School football team took the field against the powerful Lake Mills eleven, and the result, though against us, was pleasing. The score was 7-0 but statistics show that Jefferson outplayed their rivals. Lake made only one threat and was successful. The rest of the time they were forced to play defensive ball. Two-thirds of the game was played in Lake territory, with Jefferson unable to shove over a marker. Lake’s touchdown came after the wind had carried a punt outside in Jefferson territory. Line plunges took the ball over. The entire J. H. S. team worked together both in defense and offense. A new pep and snap made them put up a stubborn fight. The team took no disgrace, but took a little conceit out of the confident Lake Mills followers. WHITEWATER 0 JEFFERSON 0 On a field soaked after a week’s rain, Jefferson High battled Whitewater to a scoreless tie, but statistics again show that Jefferson outclassed their opponents. With the going very slippery, and a steady wind blowing, the Jeffs fought with determination that was pleasing to watch. Whitewater never reached Jefferson’s 20 yard line, while Jefferson threatened twice and was on a sure-fire victory march, only 14 yards away, when the timer said they had had enough. The same fight and snap was with the team as in the Lake game. Both defensively and offensively the team worked well. The w'ork of Heilemann in the line and Koltes in the back field stood out. FORT ATKINSON 37—JEFFERSON 7 In its annual Armistice Day struggle with Fort, the local H. S. aggregation found itself on the small end of a 37 to 7 score. The Fort had one of the strongest teams it had had in years. Plungers, kickers, and sprinters who had beautiful interference to follow were too much for our light troops. Most of Fort’s touchdowns were made on long runs made possible by perfect interference. Jefferson scored one touchdown to make matters a bit more cheerful for its followers. Two perfectly executed passes took the ball from Jefferson’s 20 yard line over the goal line in Koltes’ arms. Another pass made it 7 points. The locals, by more passing, got within 7 yards of another score, but were held. Raithel, Schiesl, and Fuerbringer, playing their last games for J. H. S.. played bang-up ball even though faced by a superior team. The only other regular to graduate is Heilemann. who was out with a leg injury. Vacancies left by the above players will be hard to fill, but all in all, prospects look good for next year’s grid squad. I’.MiK FORTY IK Mi HAITHKL Tiger was Hie downfall of many a learn. JefTerson’s only selec-lion to the mylhieal all-eonferenee eleven, lie was the most aggressive man seen since the day of Jefferson's Championship teams. “Tiger” will he greatly missed on next fall’s eleven. HK ILK MANN Paul, a veteran of three years, showed up well at guard. Very seldom did anyone get through his side of the line. Paid will certainly he missed, and he leaves a post hard to he filled. SCHULTZ The Jefferson Ice Mauler played a great game when given Hie chance. Schultz used tiis weight to good advantage. He is back again next year. FUKHimiNCKH Corning out in his last year Cliucky” showed marvelous form at passing. His ability to throw passes brought about many nice gains. On defense many plays were slopped by John. His vacancy will he hard to fill. PAOK KUHTY-O.XE KOLTES “Chubby,” back at bis old post at fullback, played the same consistent game lie has shown for three years. Chubby was a bear on defense and especially valuable in backing up the line. SPANGLER What he lacked in size was made up for in speed and cleverness. “Eddie” stopped many seemingly hopeless rushes by vicious tackling. He Inis two more years to go. and should develop into a great little field general. TURNER Although on the bench part of the time, Howard showed up quite well at guard, never complaining because of hard knocks. Howard will be missed on next year's team. (ILEX RAITHKL (Hen was second choice at tackle on the all-conference mention. Clever on defense, aggressive on offense, (Hen was a dangerous man. Hack for one more year. Glen will certainly show up in next fall's selection. I'AGK FORTY-TWO DOERING Ray was put in at en l. where he showed his ability to snare passes mi offense, and turn in end runs on defense. He is back for one more year. CLOUGH New at the game, Clough was sometimes severely criticized, but as lie learned the game, he showed his best at guard where lie was an aggressive and dangerous man. Clough will not he with ns next year. KNUTSON In liis fourth year John was given a chance at quarterback where lie showed great ability on defense and offense. It is too had he hasn't another year left to play. RINDFLKISCH After much shifting about, Fred was undoubtedly the most versatile man on the team. He could play equally well at half, end, or tackle. He is back for one more year. PACE FORTY-THREE MKSSMAN (libby,’' a newcomer from Sullivan, showed speed and drive all season. At half he was a Hash on offense. Next year he will be hack at his old post. A half of all-conference caliber, (libby was always good for needed yardage on end runs. HOUISCH Robisch was shifted from his post at center to guard, where he showed great ability. His size enabled him to penetrate the opponents defense and spill many plays before they were started. Robisch will be out at the call for candidates next fall. CONNKLLY Shifted from end to center in mid-season Jim was undoubtedly the greatest surprise of the year. Ilis passing was always accurate and sure. Jim has two more years and w ill In sure to show up in all-conference selections. SCHIKSL Practically every year a SehiesI has come out at the call for loot-hall candidates. ”Orry played the hard aggressive game his brothers were noted for. At end he played to perfection. He was a consistent player and one who w ill tie greatly missed next fall. paok FORTY-FOl'R PAGE FORTY-FIVE TOP ROW: Left to right—John Walters, Robert Biederman. Jerome Herde. John Knutson.

Poynette had set a remarkable record during the season with only one defeat. In the first four minutes they walked all over us. running the M ore up to 12-0. We then settled down and held them to two free points. We held them -coreless rrom the Held for the last three quarters. The hair ended In their ravor. At the hair we knew that we eould not l e beaten, as we had many more shots than they. At tie start of the second half we round ourselves and played hard to win. The llnal derision being In our ravor, 16 14. Sehuett. Leedle, and Messman were our stars. WATERTOWN 24 -JEFFERSON 17 For our ilr-t op|N� nent or the district tournament we drew Watertown. We knew nothing « r them. They knew nothing of us. The kaim was very rlose during the lir-t hair. The look the llrst Tew points, hut we were determined to get our share. This determination got us 11 shares, while they were aide to account n� r only 0. Thus ended the llrst hair. In the second hair our de reuse cracked and they piled up the induts. Their attaek got them enough points to have 24 to our small I? at the final whistle. All our boys did well. LAKE MILLS 11— JEFFERSON 14 Having had two wins over tin- l.ake boys previous to this hatUe did not make us over-confident. Imrmg the llrst quarter there was no scoring done by either team. The hair brought on a score of 6 I against ns. This score did not make us lose our determined thoughts or winning. At the start of the second hair we rough! hard, as Lake was also putting up a great light. The horn at the end Indicated a score or 14-11 In our ravor. All the team were reeling good because it was three wins over Lake in one season. BEAVER DAM 10—JEFFERSON 22 To get the lead at the -tart and to hold it throughout was our moth) for this early morning game. We were again handicapped by the loss or Schiesl At half time we had 12 l oints to 10 or our opponents. Beaver ham did not play the brand or hall they played U� beat Watertown. We play ini very g M l hall, the kind of bail we had been coached to play. In the second half we had our old basket eyes. At the end of the fracas we had a count of 22 to their to. Sehuett and Mess-man stood out for us. WEST BEND 20 JEFFERSON 12 In tl� e llnals we did not show up so well, although we were playing a very gtn� d team Their shooting was perfect and our defense did riot function. We were unable to put up a threatening game, our team looked slightly “bushed,” as this was our fourth game in three days. West Bend had no trouble in turning us hark to a tune or 20-12. Maybe this score was because It was our llrst game that was ever broadcast. PAGE FORTY-SIX Season s Cjames CAMBRIDGE 17—JEFFERSON 19 For the first game of the season we were to have as our opponents, Cambridge. This year Cambridge w as judged to have a strong team. We went over there with every intention of winning. The first half did not look very promising for us. The second half we were able to produce a few of the things we had learned. Fighting till the final whistle blew, we tied them 17-17 and were forced to play overtime. In this overtime Messman slipped the ball through the hoop for two points needed to win the game. Messman and Schuett stood out for Jefferson, while Wallace stood as outstanding for the losers. Our seconds also won by a score of 18-6. EVANSVILLE 17 JEFFERSON 12 Again we were to journey to our favorite city of Evansville. When we started the season we knew what kind of team Evansville would have. They were supposed to have a fine ball-handling team. At the end of the game we no longer thought that they were supposed to have, but knew they did have a fine team. We were somewhat handicapped by playing on a strange floor. Their floor is very dead.” Several times our guards would be at difficulty to get the ball to bounce up. We were also handicapped by having to play Bieck while he was sick. At half time we were trailing 7-4. The second half opened with a rush by both teams. This game was one of the fastest played by either team. The final whistle blew while we had only 12 points to their 17. This score meant our first league defeat. The second team did not play. ALUMNI 13—JEFFERSON 19 The cocky Alumni came onto the playing court as if they were some big college team. It was not long before this feeling was gone. They tried something different by starting their second team. When they found they could not stop us, the first team came in to try their luck. They did not succeed as well as they wished. This game was witnessed by many old grads.” It seemed good to see them back to old J. H. S. The game had been the talk of the town, especially between several Alumni players and a few High School players. The Alumni thought they had the game won about two weeks before the time it was played. The score indicated a slight change in feeling, as we won by a score of 19-13. Feind and Sayre stood out for the losers, while Schiesl, Messman, and Schuett played good ball for the school team. WHITEWATER 29—JEFFERSON 15 We went into this game a little too confident of victory. Whitewater went in to win at all costs. Our defense was terribly weak a ter the first few plays. Whitewater used a very different attack than we ever had pulled against us. They had a very fast breaking offense. Our guards could not get going. They just simply stood there and let Whitewater pepper the basket. The game was witnessed by a large crowd. In the third quarter we outscored them. Schuett was the high scorer with 11 points, and the final score was Whitewater 29 Jefferson 15. Our seconds won 6-2. CAMBRIDGE 11 JEFFERSON 16 Cambridge left home with the idea of coming to Jefferson for revenge for the defeat that we handed them in our first game. During the first quarter both teams fought on very even terms. The second quarter was all in our favor, the half ending 14-8 in favor of the Jeffs. The second half started very fast, with Cambridge creeping up very close to us. This was due to fine basketball shooting by Wallace. The team from Cambridge was the best they have had for a long time. The playing of Wallace was the feature of Cambridge’s playing, while Messman and Schuett were the outstanding performers for Jefferson. The game ended in our favor, 16-11. Our second team lost to Cambridge, 8-5. FORT 17—JEFFERSON 14 The old rivals of Jefferson were to entertain at the next game. The game drew a very large crowd. The first half was a very slow and drawn out affair. Jefferson gamed an early lead and then tried to stall or play a very slow game. The half ended with a score tied at 7-7. When we came out on the floor the second half we were cheered by many of our followers. The second half was a very sad affair for us. We could not hold them from continually shooting and never missing. During their spurt we managed to gather enough points to come within three points of tying them, the final score being 17 to 14. Scullin and Moore stood out for Fort, while Messman and Schuett stood out for the losers, Schuett being high scorer of the game. Our seconds lost 15-2. PAGE FORTY-SEVEN s£ A f C T ■v. v 4 ttj {ft 11 M (fol 1 j MILTON 11 JEFFERSON 22 Our first Saturday night game was with Milton. We brought home the bacon to a tune of 22-11. With Tiger” on the sick list, and Schiesl on the bench things for us did not look so promising. Leedle, playing his first game, helped to make up for the lo3ses of others. At the end of the first half we were ahead but not enough to amount to very much. We came back very strong to start the second half and played a slow game, but were able to pile up the points. Messman, Leedle, and Schuett starred for the victors; Paul stood out for the losers; Schuett again being high scorer for the evening. Our second team lost 11-9. LAKE 13—JEFFERSON 15 On our own floor we felt more like playing our old rivals. The score was very close throughout the game. During the second quarter we were able to gain a margin of 5 points. Messman was able to stop Degner on his famous playing and the other four Jefferson plavers covered their men very nicely. The first half ended in our favor 11-7. The second half opened with some very careful playing by both sides. Both teams fighting on fairly even terms, the final count being in our favor 15-13. Degner and G. Wbllin were outstanding for Lake. Leedle. Messman. and Schiesl played good for Jefferson. Our seconds triumphed over Lake 11-3. EVANSVILLE 5—JEFFERSON 11 This was one of the finest defensive games ever played in the J. H. S. gymnasium. This game was not as fast as the game played at their court. The first half saw a small amount of scoring. We held them scoreless during the entire first half, while we were able to gather up 7 markers. The second half started with the Evansville team scoring the first few points. The second half they were able to gather up 5 points to our 4. Shuster and Peterson played exceptional ball. All five fellows played very well for us The game ended 11-5. Our second team defeated Sullivan. This game drew one of the largest crowds ever to assemble in the gymnasium. WHITEWATER 9 -JEFFERSON 17 We traveled to Whitewater to gain a victory over a team that had beaten us earlier in the season. We took a large cheering section along with us. Whitewater had a great welcome for us. As we entered they rang cow-bells and drummed on tin, anything to make noise. The first half of the game was fought on even terms; we were leading at half time 8-5. In the last half they fell down on the job and did not show the class of the first half. During this half we ran the score up to 17-9. Kutz starred for the losers, and all of our fellows played good ball. MILTON 4—JEFFERSON 23 This game, everyone thought, was won before it was played. Milton had a fair team, but their style of play did not function. The first half was all ours and only a small portion for Milton. The second half was the same thing as the first. Jefferson was able to run up a high score during this half. Our defense functioned perfectly, holding them without a field goal during the entire game. The game ended 23-4. Paul and Tyler played well for the losers. All of our men broke into the scoring column. FORT 14 JEFFERSON 17 We journeyed to Fort to get revenge for the way we were beaten on our own court. I think that everyone on our team took their shooting eye with them. In the first quarter we ran the score up to 8-2, in our favor. In the second quarter we again repeated. running the score up to 14-8, also in our favor. In the second half we took a rest while Fort crept up to almost tie us. During this half Fort played very good ball. Wo could not manage to regain our play of the first half. In the last half we were only able to get 3 points to Fort’s 6. The final count being 17-14 in favor of us. Scul-lin and Moore stood out for Fort, while Spangler, Schiesl, and Leedle were our stars. LAKE 14—JEFFERSON 16 Again we knew we were to be handicapped by playing in the smallest gym in the league. There was a capacity crowd, so the extra rooters were allowed to stand on the floor, making the playing conditions all the worse. This game was very close, neither team ever being ahead by more than 4 points. The half ended in a tie. 7-7. The second half was closer than the first. Each team scoring as soon as the other team scored. The final whistle brought on a score of 14-14. This meant an overtime. During the extra play our reliable Messman slipped in a neat one; this won for us 16-14. CAGE FORTY EIGHT SCHUKTT Ralph, co-captain of I lie team, played every game and was always reliable. His height enabled him In control the majority of the tip-nil's. He always aroused the spirit of the team and encouraged the players to do their best. He cooperated with his teammates and was one of the greatest players ever had in .1. II. S. in sinking rebounds. This ability made him second high in conference scoring. He was as fine a defensive player as he was an offensive one. He will he hard to replace on future high school teams. HIKHK Hieek was out the early part of the season on account of illness, hnt after recovering he returned to the game to do his bit. Harold watched his opponent carefully and eluded them with ease when he had the hall. He did his best at all times, although his sickness hindered him from showing his real ability. He would be a valuable man to have around for a few more years. RAITHEL Raithel, co-captain of the team, started the season by playing his usual bang-up game. In the middle of the season he was laid up with pneumonia, which hindered his game. He had still' opposition for a regular position, hut had he not been out for so long a time he would have maintained his laurels. Tiger remained with the squad and was very dependable when given his chance. He used his height in all ways, and sent many a cheer on its way with a long shot, lie leaves a large gap to he tilled next year. SPANT.LKH Although handicapped by being one of the smallest players in the conference, Eddie made np for this by his efforts to do what was expected of him. He improved steadily throughout the season, developing a good eye for the basket; he had a way of his own for rushing opposing players and staying with them, and his ability to cooperate with his teammates made him a valuable man to have on the team. K d d i e should develop into one of the greatest .). H. S. players in the next two years. SCH1ESL Orrie progressed throughout the season, and his absence in the lineup in the last two tournament games showed very plainly what an aggressive player he was. He had as much drive as any player on the team. He conducted himself about the Moor so that he was always at the right place at the right time. He was a good defensive player as well as a good shot. He never looked out for personal glory, but for the good of the team. He will be greatly missed on future J. II. S. teams. LEKDLE Hubby came back to the regulars the second semester and gave tin necessary punch and driving power the team needed. He was an excellent shot, could dribble well, and executed plays to perfection. He never got overly excited, and took advantage of the breaks as they came. Few opponents succeeded in getting past Hubby, and if they did once, they failed to do it a second time. He could be depended upon every minute he was in the game. Here's wishing him luck next year. I'M'.K FIFTY MKSSMAN Messnian, a new limn from Sullivan. up-lield (he reputaliou of basketball players from llial village. He was one of the most consistent players to wear the orange and blue. He could dribble, was a good shot, passed accurately, and called plays and executed them as they should be. He never let an opponent slip a wav from him, but he could elude his opponent and do the best thing possible in whatever situation he found himself. We expect (iihby to be an all-conference guard next year. HIM •FLK1SCII Freddie came up from the second team and tilled the gap caused by sickness in the forepart of the season. He developed quickly and carried out instructions to the best of iiis ability. He brought the hall up to the forwards and picked his openings, and then backed up plays as they should be. _ Any of Freddie’s shots could be counted upon to hit the rim or go through. Freddie should be a valuable limn next year. ROBISCH Silvester aided the team when sickness kept the regulars out. He progressed very rapidly, and when it seemed he would give the regulars a battle for a position he was taken ill. This handicapped him for the remainder of the season, but his determination and stick-to-it-ive-ness should find him a regular next year. He could mitjump any man on the squad, and proved that be has the ability to carry out instructions. I-ACE FIFTY-ONE COACH CARL HAIJKR The citizens of JefTerson should feel very proud of llieir Higli School Athletic Director. He has proven his coaching ability by turning out many successful teams. This year's football team, although not of championship caliber, played some very good games. Coach Hager always puts out a lighting team, one that JefTerson can always feel proud of. His basket-ball team was one of the best he has bad in many years. Nearly every team that Mr. Hager has had charge of has entered the district tournament. This year's team made a very good showing at the tournament held al Beaver Ham. Coach Hager is a hard and willing worker, and takes great pains that bis men learn the fundamentals of the game. He has the good of bis boys at heart, and helps them out in any way (bat be can. All hail to Coach Hager. PA iK FIFTY-TWO TOP ROW: Loft to right loMphine Muss.

C:nrls’ Athletic Associai ion This association was organized in the spring of 1929 under the guidance of our instructor, Miss Eiden. Our motto, “A team for every girl, and every girl on a team, has incited many girls to join. Hockey, basketball, volley ball, and baseball, are the four sports which are stressed. The Hockey season was very successful. Under the guidance of Adele Schiesl, the new game was quickly learned. About eighty entered the sport. The Seniors won the class tournament, and the Freshmen, proving themselves not so green, were second. Basketball, managed by Meta Aumann, was also a popular sport. The Freshmen had the disadvantage of being new to the game, and so took last place in the tournament. The Seniors with Probst (Captain I. Hamann, Schiesl, Beischel, Weissmann, Aumann, Schakelmann, and Huss proved their skill by taking first place. Volley ball and baseball under the guidance of Josephine Beischel and Josephine Huss, respectively, are still to be played. A big turn out, however, is expected in both of these sports. The emblems given for 150 points, received in any manner, have been earned by many girls. Points received by skating, hiking and bowling added to those received from being on a first team, gave most of the points to the girls. The G. A. A. banquet held March 25. was attended by seventy-five members. Entertainment of many kinds was offered, and a good time was had by all. At the banquet the “J’s were given to the girls who had sufficient number of points. J. Probst, F. Hamann, A. Schiesl, J. Beischel, M. Aumann, J. Huss, M. Gruennert. M. Berg, T. Schakelmann, E. Weissmann, M. Betzold and C. Ambrose received their letters. The organization turned out to be quite successful. As a result of it. school spirit, team-work, and health were obtained. Much credit should be given Miss Eiden, without whose help it would never have been organized. I’AOK FIFTY-Til HEE HIKING Being one of the activities of the (1. A. A. hiking was brought into the limelight. Many went during the warm weather and picnicked on the way. One of the most enjoyable hikes of the year was the hike to Spangler’s woods and the marshmallow toast that followed. Some received blisters, hut the J” gave them something to work for, so they trudged on. Several hitch-hiked, but they only secured half of their points. Hike Leader, Catherine Ambrose. FIELD HOCKKY This was the first year in the history of Jefferson High School that field hockey had ever been played, and it turned out a great success. There were, on the average, about eighty girls who participated in this activity. Girls who were never out for any other sport took part in hockey. Two tournaments were held, a mixed tournament in which the Beds were champions, and the class tournament giving the Seniors the title of '‘Championship of the School which I hope will always lit held by the Senior Cla ss. Head of Sport. Adele Schiesl. BASKETBALL Basketball season opened with a game between the School Team and Alumni. The school team ran away with the honors. After this, practice began in earnest. We plugged away learning the rules and fundamentals until the Color Tournament was held in which the White won the most games. Then the Class Tournament began. As usual, the Senior Team proved victorious, with the classes ranking in order respectively, Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen. Head of Sport, Meta Aumann. VOLLEY BALL Volley Ball practice came into full swing the beginning id' the month of April. Each class had enough practice to make their class tournament a success, but the classes had to come in winning order. The Seniors. Juniors, and Sophomores were tied for first place as they each won two games, and lost one. The Freshmen received last place. Heaps of hopes that nothing will hinder volley ball’s success for the coming year. Head of Sport, Josephine Beischel. BASEBALL Although the baseball season has not yet opened, I am looking forward to a successful season. I expect to have about fifty girls come out for the sport. After a few weeks of grind, we will run the tournaments and may the best team win. May the best team, of course, be the ‘•SENIORS.” ‘ Head of Sport. Josephine E. Huss.

I lie Orchestra When we hear familiar harmonious strains coining from the auditorium, we know that again it is Thursday noon which of course brings with it the orchestra amt its welcome melodies. On this day the students linger a moment longer in the corridors before moving on to their respective classes. Many keep in step with the heat of the music, and that music which filters in around closed doors sets in motion the feet of even the “stern and mighty. This organization, under the able guidance of Mr. Stuart Anhalt, plays both popular and classical music. They do wonderful work, with Robert Thomas and Eugene Cole wielding the trombones. Robert Hie-dermau. Silvester Robisch, and Margaret Weissmann playing the cornets. and Wilma Reck and Hilma (lartzke lending voice to the violins: and what with Ivan Uttech and Vivian Moore as our answer to Rudy Yallee, Orinal Kiesling upholding the position at the sousaphone. Mr. Anhalt at the piano, and the other excellent players, it is no longer a wonder that there is splendid music. The Jefferson High School Orchestra plays at various occasions in town besides holding their own at the hand concerts, and furnishing music for operettas and during intermissions in plays that are held at the high school. They have been duly complimented on the quality of the music they produce. PACK SIXTY-ONE STANDING: Left to right Harold Stengel, Helen Puerner. Mr. Maclnnis.

Tile Student Council Years ago the thought of having a student at I lie head of important activities or clubs seemed absurd, but the student of today leads and rules as a matter of good practice for Ids future success. People used to think their children could not be put at a certain task without an upper hand to guide them, but now the students have complete control over certain tilings. The Student Council was initiated last year as a means of promoting school spirit, and to cooperate with the teachers. The class of |!)3 l has continued this organization and has made it a success. The student leaders have worked well with the teachers, and the rest of the high school students have cooperated, so that now our Seniors have taken over the duties of the study hall, corridors, and the programs. With the strong support of the high school body, the class of 1930 has carried on this organization very successfully.

Debate The debate squad had a very successful year and is to be complimented on die line results they achieved. This year the question debated was: Resolved, That installment buying of personal property as practiced in U. S. is both socially and economically correct. 'I'lie affirmative of tbe question was upheld by Keith Wilcox. Frances Scofield, Hubert Thomas, and by Silvester Robisch. The negative was upheld by Ormal Kiesling. Lyle Kiesling, and Laura Powers. Debates were held with Deerlield no decision. Lake Mills team won at home by virtue of an audience decision.

Girls Glee Glut After the first few weeks of school had passed the fiirls' Glee Club was started. Quite a few Freshmen signed up, and, all in all, a splendid Glee Club was organized. In December, under the supervision of Miss Yandre, the operetta, -Bits Blarney,” was staged. Phe week before Christmas vacation, a Christmas Tableau was presented. Just at present, the Glee Club is working very hard on an Faster cantata. Appearances indicate that there will be an excellent Glee Club next year. PACK SIXTY FIVE Declamatory ami Oratory The declamatory and oratory contests this year have been very successful. Everyone has done exceptionally well. The first contestants were the seventh and eighth grade pupils. It looks as though the high school is going to get some pretty good decla'mers and orators in another year or two. Catherine Stiehm and Christie Knutson won first places in the seventh grade. Joyce Hildebrandt and George Raithel won first places in the eighth grade. The high school girls who made their appearance for the first time came next. There were nine girls who took part. Three of these were chosen to go on to the contest for the experienced girls. Those who were chosen to go on were Elsie Beck. Frances Scofield, and Margaret Weissmann. The others who took part were Helen Wollet, Kuth Schakelman, Virginia Bee, Josephine Hubs. Alice Popp, and Lorarne Schoeller. The other declamatory contest and the older boys’ oratory contest were held on the same evening. One girl and one boy were picked to go to the league contest. Ormal Kiesling and Glendora Herde were chosen. Eugene Cole and Laura Powers received second places. Others in the contests were Elsie Beck. Margaret Weissmann. Frances Scofield. Marian Moore. Pauline Wakeham. Gwenyth Gafke. Silvester Robisch, Robert Thomas, and Glen Raithel. The Freshman oratory contest was a great success. Lyle Kiesling won first place, and Francis Endl took second. The following are the ones who spoke: Woodrow Mis- tele. Edward Schakelman. Dean Sayre, Lyle Kiesling. Stanley Strasburg, Paul Nass, and Francis Endl. The faculty members who have helped train these students need a credit mark for their good work. Miss Furminger and Miss Hodges instructed the girls; Mr. Maclnnis instructed the older boys; Mr. Clauson instructed the Freshmen boys. We hope that the contests will go off equally as well if not better in the coming years. 1930 Junior Promenade The annual promenade of the Juniors, to be held April 25, looks very encouraging this year. The Juniors have been co-operating in every way to make it a success. Richard Copeland, the prom chairman, and Marion Roberts, the queen, w’ill lead the Grand March. The gym is being turned into a regular dance hall. It does not look like the gym. The tall blue pillars, the rainbow arches, and the sky of blue and white are beautiful. The baskets have been turned into chandeliers, and these with the floor lamps will be the only light most of the evening. Lila Gafke is chairman of the decorating committee. Marion Roberts, with the able assistance of Miss Fox, has designed and made the pietty programs. She is also chairman of the invitations. Joe Winkler is ticket sales-manager. and Fred Rindfleisch, the class president, has been helping out on every side. Lucille Strobush is in charge of the punch. Adrian’s orchestra from Fond du Lac will furnish the music, and the spot light dance and grand march will be special features of the evening. It is certain that the prom will be a great success and all who attend will have a good time. Miss Furminger is the teacher in charge, and Miss Fox and Miss Hodges have assisted her.

I have a great deal to tell you. Since we talked of a class reunion. I have been able to think of nothing else. I think it would be fine. Minna: I do too. I have thought of it often, but I fear that if we do not have it soon, we might lose interest in it. Helen: Let’s begin to plan for it and then we can find some of the others to help us. Where would you suggest we have it? Minna: In Jefferson, by all means If we have it at this time of the year, we will be able to get into the school house and talk over old times. It would be fine if everyone in the class could be there. Do you have any idea where all of our classmates are? Helen: No, I haven’t. There were 45 in the class and it is hard to keep track of them all. I had another letter from Faith today, and she says that Arlene. Irene, and she will be home within the next two weeks. She did not know just when, but if it is to be as soon as all that, they will be able to come to the reunion. Minna: I surely was glad that they had the time to take to go to Europe. They have all worked hard and become excellent teachers. I hear they have good positions offered them this year, too. Helen: Yes, they certainly have made good. Let’s take pencil and paper and see how many of our classmates we know we can locate. (Goes to desk and gets pencil and paper. She and Minna both sit down at the table. Maid enters.) Maid: There are two women to see you. Helen: Did you ask their names? Maid: I had no need to. I know them. They are Teresa and Gwen, two of our classmates. Helen: Show them in. They will be very welcome. (Exit Maid.) They may be a great deal of help to us. I haven’t seen them for a long time. Minna: I saw by the paper that they had just returned from South America with a collection. Maid (from dpor): Right in here, please. (Enter Teresa and Gwen. Helen and Minna both get up and they are all pleased to see each other.) Helen: You certainly picked a nice time to come. I am so glad to see you. Have you had a good time in South America? Minna: You must have good times collecting things. Teresa: We certainly do, but it seems good to see you again. Gwen: It has been quite a time since I have seen either of you. Minna: I hope you will be in this section of the country for awhile. Helen and I have just been planning a class reunion. We had just begun making a list to see how many we knew we could locate. Maybe you would be able to help us a little. Gwen: That would be fun. We would be glad to help you. Wouldn’t we, Teresa? Teresa: I should say so. It will seem good to see all of our classmates again. Helen: We just began to make our list. I have written down Faith, Irene, and Arlene. They will be back from Europe in less than two weeks. Then there are Minna. Bob, Teresa, Gwen, and myself. All of us know of it. Then there is Ruth, who is Minna’s maid, and Rose, who is my maid. Gwen: There seem to be quite a few already. PAGE SIXTY .NINE Minna: I think that if we took all those we can think of that are in one place, it would be easier to get them all. Helen: Let’s take those that are in Jefferson first. Who are the ones still in Jef- ferson? Teresa: Eddie Lenz is in Jefferson. He is laying bricks for the new Kaffy Klach Building. Minna: And Elizabeth Weissmann is running a beauty parlor there. I think she has made quite a success. Helen: Don’t Frederick H.f Alice P., and Catherine A. live in Jefferson, too? Teresa: Yes. and I believe all three of them are married. Gwen: Aren’t some of them connected with the University of Helenville? I have heard a lot about that University, but do you know who is running it? Minna: We folks from Helenville were always razzed a lot about our city, but now it has grown quite large. Dusty and John Boehm founded it. They are running it, and Wilma Beck and Harold Bieck are the deans of girls and boys. Of course, you knew they were married? Gwen: Yes, Teresa had a letter from Mary and she mentioned it. Helen: She is another to put on our list. What is she doing? Teresa: She is a mannequin in a large style shop in Milwaukee. Minna: Quite a few of our classmates are in Milwaukee, aren’t they? Gwen: It seems that wray. Meta and Josephine Huss are rooming together and working in some large office. Minna. Isn’t Elsie Krienke working for some law firm in Milwaukee? Teresa: I don’t know whether she is in Milwaukee or not. but she is head of all the stenographers in some large law firm, I know. Helen: We can call Mabel Wenzel on the phone. She is governess to the children of a wealthy family. Minna: I hope John Knutson will come. It seems funny to think of him as a senator. I read something about a bill he was trying to put through just the other day. (Enter Bob.) Bob: W’hat’s going on here? Helen: Bob, you’re just in time. Don’t you remember Teresa and Gwen? Bob (shaking hands): I certainly do. I’m glad to see you again. Minna: You’re just the one we were looking for. We have been working out a list of our classmates so we can get them together for a reunion. Bob (very rapidlyl: Have you put down John F., Ralph Schuett, Howard Turner, Paul Heilemann. Paul No------. Helen: Not so fast. I can’t write so rapidly. Gwen (laughing): I think you’ll have to begin over again. I would like to know what they are all doing and if possible will have to know where they are. Teresa: I really didn’t think you could talk so fast. Do tell what they are all doing. Bob (slowly): Well, John F. is a policeman in Madison. Ralph Schuett is an astronomer who has just discovered a new star and named it Wondemut. Howard Turner and Gerald S. are teaching in the school for bashful boys in Rome. Paul H. I really feel sorry for him is confined to a deaf-mute asylum, and Paul Noble is learning the barber trade in Madison. Minna: How can you keep track of so many? Bob: I see one or two of them every once in a while when they come to Chicago. Teresa: I wonder if Paul Noble ever gives a boy the kind of a hair cut he had when we were in school. Gwen: It’s too bad about Paul H. He did like to talk so well. (Telephone is heard ringing). Helen: We have thirty-one already. We only have fourteen more to get. (Enter Maid.) Maid: Bob, you’re wanted on the phone. Bob: All right. I will be there in a minute. Helen (as maid is leaving): Rose, you don’t necessarily have to go. We are mak- •a«;k skvk.vh ing out a list of our class. Maybe you can help us. We want to have the class reunion we spoke about the other day. Rose (comes over and looks over Helen’s shoulder at list): It certainly will be nice. There will be some that probably will not be able to be there. Marian Betzold is teaching in the newly established American school in Africa. Helen (writing down name): We will have to write and tell her about it. She probably can’t get here, but it will be nice to hear from her. (Bob enters.! Bob: That was Hugo Beck. He is in town getting the particulars on that case where a small boy disappeared. I told him to come up for awhile. He accepted the invitation, so will probably be here in a little while. Rose (who has been looking at list): Linnie Voeltz was in our class. She is working in the settlement district in St. Louis. Minna: I saw in the paper the other day that Jack Higbie has won the championship in heavy-weight prize fighting. Teresa: I never thought he’d be a prize fighter. Gwen: Didn’t anyone in our class go to Hollywood? (Doorbell rings. Rose exits.) Minna: Oh, yes, Anna Wollet is in the movies, and Jerome Herde is understudy to Adolph Menjou. (Hugo enters. Shakes hands all around.) Helen: If many more of our classmates come in this evening, we’ll have them all here. Hugo: Bob said something about a class reunion. Is it going to be here? Helen: No, in Jefferson. W'e are just planning it. Maybe you could tell us some of the people and their addresses. Here is the list of those we have. (Hands Hugo list. He reads it to himself.) Hugo: You haven’t Tuddy and Dala. They are in the Ziegfeld Follies, and a surprising thing is that Arthur Schultz is haunting these Follies. (Everyone laughs.) Teresa: We shouldn’t forget Josephine Probst. She is an athletic director of a school in New York. Gwen: And, Agnes Wollet is traveling with friends in China. I don’t know when she’ll be back. Bob: Don’t leave Elmer R. out. Minna: Who ever would have thought he would be an auctioneer? Hugo: I don’t know. (Everyone laughs.) Helen: I wonder if he remembers the time he bid on a horse and nearly got it? (Everyone laughs again.) Bob: Isn’t that all ? Helen: No, we have left out three. (All crowd around Helen and look at list.) Minna: Why, we nearly forgot the famous preacher against prohibition. Teresa: Yes, we haven’t Orie’s name down. (Maid comes in and serves ice cream and cake.) Helen: You had better come in and eat with us. Rose. Maid: All right, Helen. Have you your list finished? Helen: No, we have left out one. (Maid exits but soon returns. Everyone is quiet for quite a time.) Gwen (suddenly): Oh, I know who we left out. All: Who? Gwen: Eddie Zahn. He runs a passenger airplane from New York to San Fran- cisco. Helen (writing): Now we have them all. When you first spoke you frightened me. (All laugh. Maid takes away dishes.) Teresa (looking at watch : Gwen, it’s getting late, and if we have to be at the museum by eight we had better leave. Gwen: Yes, that is a good idea. We have had a wonderful time tonight. I hope we have as good at the reunion. If you want us to help any more, you can call us at this address. (Hands her card.) Hugo: I must be leaving, too. I have a lot to do yet tonight. Helen: Be sure and come again. (To Minna.) We might as well go to the door. (All exit.) End. By Gwenyth Gafke. PAOE SEVENTY-ONE Our Football I earn Messmann is n shitty niinicr.

The first of these is fair Irene, A tall, and willowy blonde. The second one is short Arlene. Of whom we are all quite fond. The third is Helen, but not of Troy. Whose beauty and womanly wiles. Have caused the face of many a boy To turn from a frown to a smile. of all that woed these maidens three. Like handsome knights of yore. A Tiger, a Shiek. and the Senor Orie Were chosen out of others galore. Irene has captured (trie’s heart Through the use of her maidenly charm. And we vow that they will never part. Though he turns to working a farm. A rift we see between Shiek and Arlene. The cause of this we’re not told. It won't last long between them. I ween. For on her we re sure lie’s quite sold. How Tiger has fallen for our Helen Is the theme of many a tale. Why he was chosen from all other men We re sure you’ll see wilhoul fail. So we wish them all to he happy. For happy they ought to be.

PACK SKVKSTY-SIX oiien Helen v IT t i«� nor V. Heyje ? HerJe ? I en cars of Awards Jn the year 1920 several loyal members of the Jefferson Alumni Association were inspucd with the idea of an award system for the High School which was to cement the interest of the Alumni and of the students of the High School. The results of the past ton years show that this inspiration has been cherished and cared for. The awarding of prizes for excelience in scholarship and athletics has been twofold, for it has given the Alumni a definite aim and the students an incentive to excel in their work. During these ten years medals and cash prizes have been awarded to 172 students for excelling in oratory, debating, and scholarship, and 140 sweaters and jerseys to members of the football and basketball teams. The silver shield, replacing the one lost in the High School fire of 1924. has been inscribed with nine names in recognition of scholarship. The shield hangs in the study hall. Four separate awards augment the Alumni awards: The Emma Friedel Hilberts Prize for Oratory given in the memory of Mrs. Hilberts bv her children Marcella. Esther, and Bert: the Emma Roessler Fernholz Fund for the best autobiographical sketch founded by Sylvia and Edward to honor their mother; the prize to the student showing the greatest improvement in his work during his high school career donated by Agnes Roessler Puemer; and the prize for debate given by Mr. George J. Kispert. The award1 ng of the prizes takes place on the night of graduation, the presentation being made by a member of the Alumni committee for that year. During the Christmas holiday season a get-together party is staged in the High School gymnasium. Anvone attending the very enjoyable party sponsored by the committee of 1929-1930, consisting of Priscilla Rees Greene, Winnie Puerner, Bernice Schimming. and Norbert Hennen. will testify that there is considerable Alumni spirit prevalent. Are you among the loyal? Some classes have regular reunion dinners preceding the Alumni partv. This winter party, to which so many of the Alumni and their friends return to renew friendships. has become a happy meeting ground. After all, the school days were the happy carefree days of life and are never to be forgotten. Esther Friedel.

PAGE EIGHTY-ONE lb rom line jbirsi Uratlu atniig (. J ass I cannot help ImiI think of I lie wonderful strides civilization has made in my lifetime. I remember, when a boy, the first phonograph that was brought into Jefferson. II was interesting, and we paid admission In hear it. II was a little machine with a little squeaky voice, but il could talk. The first telephone I saw was exhibited at the City Hall. The wire was stretched In the home of Professor Squires, about one block away. Last year was the fiftieth anniversary of the invention of the electric light by Edison. We now have them in all civilized countries, and in some parts other lighting has become obsolete. I remember w hen the old kerosene lamp posts were first placed in Jefferson and (lie city marshal took care of the lamps, and what an improvement there was when the electric light system was built. In a little over twenty-five years automobiles have practically displaced old dobbin in a great many sections of the country and Henry Ford without practically any capital has become one of the richest men of Ihe world manufacturing a flivver. Some years ago Jules Verne wrote an interesting book “Around Ihe World in Eighty Hays.” Last summer the Zeppelin made a trip in 3 days, having only' 1 I days actual sailing. Darius Green with his Hying machine wasn't such a fool after all. He was simply a pioneer like a good many other pioneers. If it weren’t for our pioneers, where would we be today? Now, following Ihe experiments of the Wright Bros, we have an airplane which is coming more and more into successful operation. We have Ihe moving pictures which have lately added Ihe talkies. The wireless telegraph and Ihe radio have been experimented with more than anything else. Now in this short time everybody wants an electric set. A one dial battery set sells for a song and a three dial set can hardly he given away. Jules Verne, in writing “Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea.” had a vision of what was going to happen. Practical men with Ihe same vision produced the submarine. Ever since America was discovered men have been trying to get a northern route from the west to the east. Now they think they have a feasible plan, a special submarine. Please see American Magazine of January “Under Ihe Arctic lee.” 1 have great confidence in the young folks of this generation and Ihe strides will be faster than in the past, but remember that nations rise and fall and civilizations change from one nation to another. A nation is no better Ilian Ihe people that live in it. so it is our duty to keep this nation (he best on earth by keeping a clear head, making our education count, respecting our country, and obeying its laws.

We are pleased to further state that your propositions for two more expedititons are appreciated and hereby accepted with the following remarks thereon. Owing to the prevailing conditions in Chinese East Central Asia at the present time, we do not feel capable of the responsibility of undertaking to hunt and capture the ferocious log necked, chain toed water woof us, native to that region, at this time; because we feel that it could not be accomplished with the degree of satisfaction which we aim to give you in much undertakings. We will undertake this work when the said conditions become favorable for such an expedition. However, we are very glad to accept the African proposition. We assure you that we will obtain the finest obtainable variety of the African species, Pulchriphyllium bioculatum, of the walking stick family (Phasmidae); and the African short horned grass hopper (Atrac-tomorpha oberrans.

It would please us very much if we could engage your expert services to procure a specimen of the water woofus of As a. The existance and whereabouts of this creature is undoubtedly known to you. If you do not consider it expedient to undertake this work at this time, we would be pleased to have you obtain a collection of the Atractomorpha aberrans and Pulchriphyllium bioculatum natives of the African Continent. Please inform us as to the action you will take on these expeditions, at your earliest. Thanking you again for the excellent way in which you handeled your last expedition, we remain.
